Duh, 10 Characters... of course the Dems want to take care of all of the people.. the Republicans want to make long winded speeches about how to generate more wealth or about the same thing over and over and over again.. see Sotomayer hearings... More change you can believe in... Also bet if you did a poll of out of work people right now, most would favor universal health insurance... also bet if you did a poll you would find that more Dems are out of work and have lost their jobs.. sometimes these pollsters just need to use common sense.
Of course not. Everyone knows it only can be solved by "emergency" legislation, passing a non-stimulating stimulus bill, bloating the deficit, soaking the rich, increasing taxes on small businesses, and 3:00 AM 300+ page amendments.
Liberals support Boomy's health plan, no sh!t, they'd support him if he declared war on Newfoundland. Don't let those grinning democrat bastards mess around with your Doctor, you will die while you wait.
Poll: Americans want health care bill, but not the cost - USATODAY.com Another poll also came out. Here is the result. Gallup poll is pretty much BS. Unless Obama changes the way he taxes people, people are not going to be happy.

Late effects are health problems that occur months or years after treatment has ended.
The cancer itself or the treatment of cancer may cause health problems for childhood cancer survivors months or years after successful treatment has ended. Cancer treatments may harm the body's organs, bones, or tissues and cause health problems later in life. These health problems are called late effects. Treatments that may cause late effects include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or stem cell transplant.

Doctors are studying the late effects caused by cancer treatment. They are working to improve treatments and stop or lessen late effects. While most late effects are not life-threatening, they may cause serious problems that affect health and quality of life.
Late effects in childhood cancer survivors are both physical and emotional.
Late effects in childhood cancer survivors may affect the following:
- Organs, tissues, and body function.
- Growth and development.
- Mood, feelings, and actions.
- Thinking, learning, and memory.
- Social and psychological adjustment.
- Risk of second cancers.
There are three important factors that affect the risk of late effects.
Many childhood cancer survivors will have late effects. The risk of late effects depends on factors related to the patient, tumor, and treatment. These include the following:
- Tumor-related factors
- Type of cancer.
- Where the tumor is in the body.
- How the tumor affects the way tissues and organs work.
- Treatment-related factors
- Type of surgery.
- Chemotherapy type, dose, and schedule.
- Radiation therapy type, part of the body treated, and dose.
- Stem cell transplant.
- Use of two or more types of treatment at the same time.
- Blood product transfusion.
- Patient-related factors
- The child's gender.
- The child's age at diagnosis and treatment.
- Length of time since diagnosis and treatment.
- Certain changes in the child's genes.
- Being exposed to substances in the environment that cause cancer.
- Family history of cancer or other conditions.
- Health problems the child had before being diagnosed with cancer.
- Health habits.
The chance of having late effects increases over time.
New treatments for childhood cancer have decreased the number of deaths from the primary cancer. However, the number of late effects in childhood cancer survivors increases with longer time since treatment and with older age. Survivors may not live as long as people who did not have cancer. The most common causes of death in childhood cancer survivors are:
- The primary cancer comes back.
- A second (different) primary cancer forms.
- Heart and lung damage.

Jon Parkin's third goal in successive games beat Torquay and kept Fleetwood in touch with the play-off positions.
The striker headed in Dean Howell's cross for the only goal at Plainmoor.
But the Cod Army, who won for only the fourth time since Graham Alexander took charge at the start of December, needed keeper Scott Davies to be in top form.
Davies kept out efforts from Ashley Yeoman, Billy Bodin and Kevin Nicholson, while Gulls defender Aaron Downes hit the bar in stoppage time.
Torquay United assistant manager Shaun Taylor told BBC Radio Devon:
"I don't think we've had a better first half home or away all season, or even maybe last season. The effort from the players was fantastic, that's all I asked.
"I got a committed performance in the second half. They proved they're fit enough as they kept going until the end. But we're probably a bit disappointed with the final ball in the second half.
"Let's watch the TV tonight and see if those handball decisions are given, his hands are above him, your head should be there.
"We can feel sorry for ourselves but we've got to go again on Tuesday."
Fleetwood Town manager Graham Alexander told BBC Radio Lancashire:
"It was a tough game and we had to defend quite resolutely at times.
"Scott Davies made a couple of really good saves but we had opportunities ourselves. We're happy with a 1-0 away win.
"It's one thing you have to have - consistency in performances - and hopefully results follow that.
"It was a great header from Jon Parkin. He's a good player and just needs to get up to full match-fitness, but that will come with games."

Action Bronson - Strictly 4 My Jeeps (Remix)
Artist: Action Bronson
Featuring: LL Cool J, Lloyd Banks
Producer: Harry Fraud
Album: Saab Stories
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 16 votes )
For natives of NYC's easternmost borough, today must feel like Christmas in June. Fresh off trading bars with legendary neighbor Kool G. Rap on DJ Tony Touch's It's a Queens Thing, Flushing phenom Action Bronson returns to our pages with a new Strictly 4 My Jeeps remix featuring an all-Queens-repping cast of collaborators. Over the squelching synth-bass and bone-crushing percussion of Harry Fraud (who hails from Brooklyn—but don't hold it against him), the headliner trades hard-hitting verses with G-Unit repper Lloyd Banks (South Jamaica) and hip-hop legend LL Cool J (Hollis). Better than the original? As always, y'all get to lay down the final verdict. You'll find both versions of Jeeps on Action Bronson and Harry Fraud's Saab Stories street album, dropping digitally next Tuesday (6/11).

necessary to remove intake/distributor?
quick question for you guys: i was wondering if you have to remove the intake and therefore the distributor to replace a rear main seal on a sbc ('66 283 block). the timing marks are off or something on it and i have spent a good amount of time timing it by ear and feel and have definitely got it in the sweet spot. Now my rear main seal needs replacing and im woried the distributor will have to be removed and ill have to start from scratch timing it. the motor is in an s10 by the way. thanks a bunch

You do not have to remove the intake. It will be quite difficult (but not impossible) to line up the oil pump shaft with the distributor with it in the engine. It is easier to put the oil pump in first, then the distributor.
[URL]http://members.shaw.ca/g.body.building[/URL] |
im not sure i understand bracketeer (youll have to bear with me i have no idea how to go about changing the seal). does the oil pump need to be removed or something?
so how hard exactly is it to line up the oil pump shaft with the distributor? could a good mechanic do it without too much trouble? if i cant do it that means ill have to take the distributor out, correct? also, if the rear main is in fact the culprit then where exactly will it be leaking from? im pretty sure thats what it is but dont want to tear into it until im sure...
Oil leaking from the rear can be coming from the distributor hole, valve pan cover, rear of intake, or rear seal.
Not sure about an S10, but on most vehicles you have to raise the motor to get the oil pan out from between the crank and the cross-member. Once the pan is out, you remove the oil pump, then the rear main bearing cap. The seal is in two halves. One in the cap and one in the block. You remove the two halves and re-install the new one. You then put the main cap back on and just snug the bolts. Pry the crank towards the front of the motor and wedge it in place with a screw driver. Then pry the main cap towards the rear on the motor. This sets the thrust bearing in place. Torque the main cap bolts and remove the screwdrivers. Then re-install the oil pump. The pump shaft has a fork on the end that has to slide up into the distributor shaft. This is the tricky part. Torque the oil pump bolt and replace the oil pan and gasket. You can purchase a one piece rubber oil pan gasket for around 45 bucks from MR Gasket or Felpro. I can't remember which one is cheaper but they are worth the money.

Police used shields, clubs, tear gas and pepper spray to push back a group of black-clad protesters. The Toronto police chief blamed the destruction on violent "anarchists" and said several of their leaders were arrested.
Over 150 protestors were arrested when thousands of anti-G20 marchers resorted to "wanton criminality" here, setting ablaze police vans and smashing windows with baseball bats, prompting authorities to lock down the summit venue into an intense security zone.
Police used shields, clubs, tear gas and pepper spray to push back a group of black-clad protesters who tried to head south toward the security fence surrounding the perimeter of the Group of 20 summit site where world leaders, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, are expected to meet.
"We have never seen that level of wanton criminality and vandalism and destruction on our streets," Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair said at press conference yesterday.
"I am profoundly disappointed in the criminal acts which have taken place," he said.
"I have seen windows broken and police cars burned. It is very regrettable that such vandalism and violence could not be prevented ... I want to assure you that the persons responsible will be held accountable," he added.
Mr. Blair blamed the destruction on violent "anarchists" and said several of their leaders were arrested.
Mr. Blair confirmed that tear gas was deployed once - for the first time in the city's history - "after a warning was given to the public about its impending use."
He denied the use of rubber bullets.
The size of the protest crowd was estimated as high as 10,000.
As the evening wore on, the area around the Ontario legislature at Queen's Park emerged as a major focal point.
Several hundred police in riot gear - many on horseback - ringed government buildings and lined streets in the area, as well as the nearby park grounds.
Mr. Miller said police made thorough preparations ahead of the summit and did a "commendable job under difficult circumstances."
"I'm sure there have been small moments where perhaps there are some tensions between a crowd and the police ... In the broad brush, I think we should be very confident in their work," Miller told reporters.
Canada spent over $ 1 billion to secure the G8 and G20 summits, hoping to avoid the violent protests that marred recent gatherings of these global forums in Pittsburgh and London.

Defining a More Purposeful Architecture: A Guide to Current Architectural Trends
The current state of architectural design incorporates many contemporary ideas of what defines unique geometry. With the advent of strong computer software at the early 21st century, an expected level of experimentation has overtaken our profession and our academic realms to explore purposeful architecture through various techniques, delivering meaningful buildings that each exhibit a message of cultural relevancy.
These new movements are not distinct stylistic trends, but modes of approaching concept design. They often combine with each other, or with stylistic movements, to create complete designs. Outlined within this essay are five movements, each with varying degrees of success creating purposeful buildings: Diagramism, Neo-Brutalism, Revitism, Scriptism, and Subdivisionism.
Video: Santiago Calatrava On His Design For Ground Zero's Only Non-Secular Building
In a film for the BBC Magazine, Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava talks through his designs for the new St. Nicholas Church – the only non-secular building on the 9/11 Memorial site. The building, which broke ground last year, has been described by Calatrava as a "tiny jewel" for lower Manhattan, comprising of a white Vermont marble shrine sat beneath a translucent central cupola that is illuminated from within. The new church, of Greek Orthodox denomination, replaces a church of the same name which was destroyed during the attacks of 9/11. It is sited close to its original location on 130 Liberty Street, overlooking the National September 11 Memorial park and museum. With the building set to open in early 2016, Calatrava discusses the key conceptual ideas and references behind its unique, controversial design.
In Defense of Santiago Calatrava
In recent years, few architects have had a tougher time in the media than Santiago Calatrava. Whether it's his repeated legal battles over leaking roofs and peeling facades, the unceremonious death of his Chicago Spire project, or the media firestorm over his New York Transportation Hub that is $2 billion over budget, Calatrava has become a poster boy for those who criticize the supposed arrogance of today's architects. However, in an engaging article for FastCo Design, Karrie Jacobs responds to what seems to be "a concerted effort to shore up his reputation," coming to the defense of this "unreconstructed aesthete." Read the article in full here.
New York's $4 Billion Train Station Takes Shape
Santiago Calatrava's head-turning World Trade Center Transportation Hub has assumed its full form, nearly a decade after its design was revealed. In light of this, the New York Times has taken a critical look at just how the winged station's budget soared. "Its colossal avian presence may yet guarantee the hub a place in the pantheon of civic design in New York. But it cannot escape another, more ignominious distinction as one of the most expensive and most delayed train stations ever built." The complete report, here.
Santiago Calatrava's Chicago Spire Finally Axed
Santiago Calatrava's much maligned design for the Chicago Spire has finally met its end, thanks to a lapsed payment deadline from the site's developer, Grant Kelleher. The project, which would have been the tallest building in the USA, began construction in 2007 but was halted at the onset of the global financial crisis, leaving nothing more than a large hole in the ground for over six years.
Despite numerous attempts to revive the Spire, Grant Kelleher's Shelbourne Development Group never overcame its financial troubles. Shelbourne Development Group and its partner Atlas Apartment Holdings received a court order to pay $22 million to one of their creditors, Related Midwest, who had bought $93 million worth of debt from the project. However, the Chicago Tribune reports that within minutes of the October 31st deadline lapsing with no sign of payment, Related Midwest filed papers in a Chicago court requiring that the deeds for the property be passed to them.
Santiago Calatrava Breaks Ground on Church at 9/11 Memorial Site
Construction has begun on Santiago Calatrava's Saint Nicholas National Shrine on the World Trade Center site in New York. A "tiny jewel" for lower Manhattan, as referred by Calatrava, the white Vermont marble shrine will be based around a translucent central Cupola that illuminates from within.

NBBJ Creates High Tech Shading System for Buildings
International architecture firm NBBJ has created Sunbreak, a new prototype for user-controlled sunshades that will not only lower energy costs, but also give buildings a dynamic appearance throughout the day.
Technology currently exists for automatically regulating solar gains in buildings, but the downside to these systems is that they often lack manual controls, and one of the most common complaints heard from workers in modern office buildings is that they do not have enough control over their environment. Automatic sunshades go up or down based on the time of day but if it happens to be cloudy outside or if users want natural light in a room when the shades are down there may be nothing they can do.

Spotlight: Santiago Calatrava
Today is the 63rd birthday of world renowned architect, engineer, and artist Santiago Calatrava Valls. Calatrava is well known for his neofuturist style and his wild feats of engineering. The Milwaukee Art Museum, his first building in the United States, is famous for its shading "wings" that open and close in response to the position of the sun. His complex of buildings in his native Valencia is also a frequent pilgrimage site for architecture enthusiasts.
Calatrava's World Trade Center Transit Hub Fails to Impress
"How can a $3.94 billion building be made to look cheap?" A small part of Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center Transportation Hub has been opened to the public, and the critics aren't impressed. According to the New York Times' article by David Dunlap, the buildings "chunky fixtures" and "rough workmanship" "detract from what is meant to be breathtaking grandeur." Read more, here.
Could a Lick of Super Strong Carbon Paint Fix Caltrava's Palau de les Arts?
Will the peeling shell of Santiago Calatrava's Palau de les Arts in Valencia be saved by an innovative, new paint? Calatrava's $455.6 million project, which surpassed its budget four times over, has sprouted many defects over the years, but none more damning than its peeling facade – a defect that spurred the city of Valencia to sue Calatrava's office. However, Spanish paint manufacturer Graphenano has proposed an innovative solution: Graphenstone, a mixture of limestone powder and the allotrope graphene, which should just prevent further deterioration. Whether the solution could also relieve some courtroom tension, remains to be seen. Read more on Inhabitat and The Architect's Newspaper.
VIDEO: Elegance in Motion at Calatrava's Liège-Guillemins Railway Station in Belgium
We present you with a compelling video depicting the sublime interaction of light and space at Santiago Calatrava's Liège-Guillemins railway station in Belgium. Inspired by Eadwards Muybridge's 1886 short-film "Horse in Motion," architectural photographer Yannick Wegner uses time lapse photography to uniquely portray the experience within and around this bustling building.
"Time lapse as a stylistic device offers new opportunities in acknowledging remarkable architecture," describes Wegner. "The appearance of time through motion gives the impression of vitality and emphasizes the architecture."
Developer Seeks to Revive Calatrava's "Chicago Spire"
Cloaked in financial woes, what was intended to be the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere has remained a stagnate hole in the Chicago cityscape since the height of the crisis. However, the fate of the Santiago Calatrava-designed luxury condominium may be about to change, as developer Garrett Kelleher is actively seeking court approval to reinstate the project with a $135 million investment from Atlas Apartment Holdings LLC. More on Chicago's 2,000-foot "twisting" spire latest update here on the Chicago Tribune.
40 Architecture Docs to Watch In 2014
This time last year we published our 30 Architecture Docs to Watch in 2013 featuring a fantastic range of films telling the tales of some of the world's greatest unsung architectural heroes. We now bring you eleven more for 2014, looking past the panoply of stars to bring you more of the best architectural documentaries which will provoke, intrigue and beguile.
World Trade Center Progress Report: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Slowly, and surely not lacking critique, Santiago Calatrava's transport hub rises $2 billion over budget, SOM's Freedom Tower — now, more mundanely referred to as 1WTC — is recognized as the tallest building in the western hemisphere and there is still a considerable amount of development yet to be done on the World Trade Center. Read Edwin Heathcote's article on the Financial Times regarding the good, the bad and the ugly: "Rebuilding the World Trade Center: A Progress Report."
Calatrava's "Sharq Crossing" Planned for Doha Skyline
Located in Doha, Sharq Crossing is a set of three interconnected bridges spanning almost ten kilometres in the Doha Bay. Designed by the famed architect Santiago Calatrava, the bridge will connect the city's cultural district in the north to Hamad International Airport and the central business district in West Bay. The bridges, which are designed to accomodate as many as 2,000 vehicles an hour per lane, are also flanked by a series of subsea tunnels to manage and direct the flow of traffic across the bay.
Santiago Calatrava: The Metamorphosis of Space
The Grand Opening of the Santiago Calatrava: The Metamorphosis of Space exhibition took place on Wednesday, December 4th in the monumental spaces of the Braccio di Carlo Magno. The exhibition will be open until February 20, 2014.
The exhibition, sponsored by the Vatican Museums and the Pontifical Council for Culture, and curated by Micol Forti (Curator of the Collection of Contemporary Art of the Vatican Museums), presents a collection of approximately 140 works of art to the public, showing the complex and multiform artistic productions of the famous Spanish architect and engineer.
The selected core of architectural models is accompanied by the corresponding preparatory studies, but also by watercolor paintings, which were generated by a creative inspiration completely independent from the genesis of the same projects. In addition, there is a rich anthology of sculptures, both monumental and in a more reduced size, made out of bronze, marble, alabaster, and wood.
The combination of works pertaining to different artistic codes, although closely related, directs the observer's gaze to different levels of interpretation of the architectural volumes, and of the vision of space and shapes, typical characteristics of Calatrava's artistic path. More after the break.
Museum Round Up: The Box is Back
In a recent article for the Denver Post, Ray Rinaldi discusses how the box is making a comeback in U.S. museum design. Stating how architecture in the 2000's was a lot about swoops, curves, and flying birds – see Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava - he points out the cool cubes of David Chipperfield and Renzo Piano. We've rounded up some of these boxy works just for you: the Clyfford Still Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum Expansion, The St. Louis Art Museum's East Building, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien's Barnes Foundation, and Shigeru Ban's Aspen Art Museum. Each project begins to show how boxes can be strong, secure, and even sly. Check out more about the article here.

Another new member! (sadly owner of only one cat..)
Hi all!
I'm new to this forum, obviously. I only have one cat, named Peace (she came with that name..), no other pets. She's 16 and is definitely a single cat type of cat.. We used to have another cat, and when that cat was gone (my sister adopted her), Peace was undeniably MUCH happier seeming, and she has had a horribly spoiled, indulged kitty life ever since.. Someday though, I definitely plan on having multiple cats, and I intend to only adopt older cats (the ones who aren't normally adopted). I joined because I have a couple long-lasting questions about her however. And because I love cats. |

I'm almost exactly the same with regards to everything you said: used to have two cats but split them up for the sake of their happiness and our sanity; now have one indulged and spoiled house cat; and I also have a couple of long-standing questions about his behaviour and health.
Hello to both of us. |

CHENNAI: Two persons, said to be relatives, were found dead under mysterious circumstances, in a printing press at Alwarpet on Monday.
The police said Ramalingam, 45, of Ambal Nagar, Chromepet, and Srinivasan, 28, were working in the press on Tiruvalluvar Salai at Seethamma Colony. Ramalingam was married to Srinivasan's elder sister.
Investigation revealed that Ramalingam and Srinivasan had some differences of opinion. On Monday, when the press owner came to the office, he saw the main door partly open. When he searched for the employees, he found Ramalingam dead and Srinivasan hanging in an adjacent room.
Police sent the bodies for post-mortem and have registered a case of murder and unnatural death.

If Prison Break were set inside this big house, Michael and Linc never would have seen daylight. In A&E's eye-opening docuseries The Squad (Thursday, 10/9c), a crack team of Tennessee corrections officers is followed as it thwarts escapes, hinders smuggling and investigates all manners of jailhouse crimes. We were scared straight after speaking with the squad's special agent in charge Jason Woodall about things he's witnessed behind the walls.
There's no grace period for rookies. "My first day on the job I responded to a stabbing," Woodall recalls. "I've seen people die right before my eyes."
If it fits, it ships. "Any contraband that can fit in a body cavity — drugs, even handguns — can be smuggled," he says.
A coupla bad apples.... "The majority of the inmates are there to do their time and go home. It's not a free-for-all of criminal activity," Woodall says. "But it only takes a few."

There's a lot of people that I could compare myself to, but I don't, or at least I try to keep it to a minimum and I'm very conscious of where it's likely to happen. It's my inner critic, the surprising perfectionist in me that can rear its ugly head and put me back on the "I'm not good enough" path. There's a multitude of reasons why engaging in the regular self-hacking that is comparison is a must-kick habit. There's healthy comparison that's used to positively learn from the insights and grow – like when you compare your skills not your worth to a peer – and then there's the unhealthy comparison that is a hatchet job that leaves you wounded. When I first started writing Baggage Reclaim back in September 2005, I would look around at other sites and be tweaking and chopping and changing. I very quickly realised that this would defeat the purpose of what I was doing and kill what makes it original in its own right before it had a chance to blossom. I don't want it to be an identikit version of something else. Throughout my entire career I've seen great people and great things crushed by unhealthy comparison because neither knew how to exist in their own right. They had short-lived periods of contentment but at the back of the person or the company's mind, was this pervasive urge to keep comparing so they kept making more and more changes and in the end, they were unrecognisable… and not in a good way. We don't question what we believe based on that comparison and end up going off on an illogical tangent. Fact is, there will always be people to compare to who you will deem as "better" as long as you fundamentally find you unacceptable. I'm not perfect and try as I might, I'm never going to be. Fact. I could spend the rest of my life attempting to get as close to perfection as possible and no doubt beating myself up for my 'mistakes' or 'failures' while I'm at it, plus I could keep estimating and measuring myself against others in areas where I'm already my harshest critic. You're not perfect and you're not supposed to be. While you're busy decimating and censoring who you are to try and replace it with who you 'should' be (you know that annoying voice that keeps piping up and trying to drown out your true identity), you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You're human and flawed like every other person on the planet so why keep busting your tail about something that really isn't that special by focusing on your flaws? Everybody has flaws and you can try and compare and go "Oh but they have less flaws than I do" but that's bullshit borne out of you putting them on a pedestal and admiring them while putting you beneath them. Everybody has flaws it's just that not all of us focus on them, not all of us see them in others (some of us do a mighty fine job of essentially sticking a pump up people's bottoms and inflating them), and we're not always in a position to be around someone when character is put to the test – we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. I don't know why we continue to pedal this myth to ourselves that we're not good enough and everybody is living the hunkydory lifestyle when we all know of people who have been and done things that surprise us, and it's not in a good way. And yet we continue to compare. Let's be real, some of us believe that superficial stuff like appearance and status is character and along with these, we can be guilty of assuming that wealth, intelligence, and even accomplishments being present in a person are automatic precursors to them having character. That's why I hear from so many people who have been with beautiful/attractive/highly intelligent/popular… assclowns. If you've been in this position, you've taken a detour and forgotten that character is what shows how someone will treat you. Oddly though, we can admire and even love people for what essentially boils down to superficial stuff that doesn't rely on character and then feel wounded when we feel that they've not valued our character, which doesn't make sense. How can you ignore code red issues and focus on the stuff that isn't making a difference to how you're treated or feel, but then feel bad about you not being valued by them beyond anything superficial? We compare our appearance, accomplishments and even what we perceive to be our skills to others but these are the moving goalposts of life. We age, accomplishments can decrease in relevance and value, and skills evolve and in some cases, get replaced and automated in our modern world. Some of this stuff can be linked to your character but if it is, and for instance, your skills change, it doesn't mean that your character has which is all the more reason why we shouldn't see ourselves as a 'failure' (failed person). All of these things change and can even be taken away, but what you cannot take away is character and it can and does exist while you're being human, which means that you're going to err in this life but it doesn't mean that you're not worthy. It's a hell of a lot easier to reduce comparison and it's impact on you (which can literally be tormenting) when you are somebody you respect and you ultimately possess or are working on evolving into the characteristics and values that matter to you in others. When you respect your character and can appreciate you for the small, medium, and large-sized things that you do and are in your life, the changes you've made, the adversities you've overcome etc., you prioritise character and these aspects in others. It doesn't matter what other people are doing with their lives because it's their lives and you focusing on their lives and hacking at you isn't going to change the fact that you have your own life to put your stamp on and that you're a unique person on a journey that you and only you will make. You can keep measuring you against others but it's illogical and irrelevant, not least because you're not the same and we each have different thinking and behavioural habits as well as experiences. Does appearance, status etc open doors? Absolutely, but an open door doesn't mean contentment beyond the door frame. There are a lot of people who have the things that you want but are unhappy or whose character undermines the very thing that you overvalue while devaluing you. Why keep diminishing you with comparison? The more you do it, the less there is of you. Instead of comparing, respect and appreciate what you do have, no matter how small you think that is because it paves the way to growth. There will always be something and someone you can compare to which is all the more reason why you're on this journey to discover, reclaim, and appreciate you. Your thoughts?

- Studio: Columbia Pictures
- Release Date: Dec 14, 1984
- Starring: Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen
- Summary: An alien takes the form of a young widow's husband and asks her to drive him from Wisconsin to Arizona.
- Director: John Carpenter
- Genre(s): Adventure, Sci-Fi, Drama, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 7
Mixed: 0 out of 7
Negative: 0 out of 7
Starman provides him with a role that, played by anyone else, might seem preposterous. In Mr. Bridges' hands it becomes the occasion for a sweetly affecting characterization - a fine showcase for the actor's blend of grace, precision and seemingly offhanded charm.
Jun 4, 2014Starman is a wonderful film that combines science fiction, road movies, and romance into an engaging, very entertaining whole.
Starman contains the potential to be a very silly movie, but the two actors have so much sympathy for their characters that the movie, advertised as space fiction, turns into one of 1984's more touching love stories.
Jun 4, 2014There is little that is original in Starman, but at least it has chosen good models.
Despite Allen's sincere face; Bridges' quirky, effective portrayal; some exquisite effects; and many funny moments, the film falters at the finish, if not a little before. Mostly it never delivers what it promises -- an alien with all the right answers. [14 Dec 1984, p.31]
Carpenter keeps it sweet. This means muting his fabled skills as an "action" director in favor of plumbing the cutes, and it means that Starman isn't the grown-up entertainment that it could have been. But it's not your everyday romance, either, and it's hard to hate. [14 Dec 1984, p.18]
The gentlest of his movies, it shows a new maturity in Mr. Carpenter's outlook, emphasizing close human relations rather than shocks and outlandish effects. Although it never quite comes together, it shows a shift of focus and interest that bodes well for his work to come. [31 Dec 1984, p.18]

It's official: Cassidy Turley is now under new ownership and has been folded in with international brokerage DTZ.
The combined DTZ operation will rank among the top three global real estate firms.
The combination will give Cassidy Turley's offices in Kansas City and elsewhere a huge new global platform. DTZ gets a stronger U.S. presence.
The Cassidy Turley real estate firm, one of the most active commercial real estate firms in the Triangle, will now be known by a different name after its acquisition and merger with the global DTZ real estate services firm was finalized Monday.
Cassidy Turley has been acquired by a consortium of private equity investors backed by TPG Capital, PAG Asia Capital and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
Wayfair, the Boston-based online home-furnishings retailer, was one of the most well-funded U.S. tech companies this year, according to research firm CB Insights.
Former Assisted Living Concepts Inc. executives Laurie Bebo and John Buono face monetary penalties and a possible disgorgement of profits when their fraud case brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is held before an administrative law judge in early 2015.
Cassidy Turley has named veteran real estate brokers Mark Sims and Brian Woolsey as co-managing principals of the firm's Twin Cities operations.
Small business lender Kabbage, with a portion of its workforce in San Francisco, is taking on Lending Club and Prosper as it enters the consumer loan business.
Both companies have offices in the Twin Cities market but the merger's local impact is not yet clear.

- Here is the article on Cayenne Beaulieu's Cayenne Not to be outdone by her big Irish stablemate, 11-year-old Beaulieu's Cayenne, a Canadian Sport Horse mare owned by Sher Schwartz, finished 14th at Fair Hill with just 2 time penalties to add to her final score of 57.1. "Cayenne is such a good show jumper, and her dressage is getting better and better," Julie said. "If I had my choice, I'd do the Pan Ams with her." Cayenne (Calibur x Pinacolada, Pilot) was bred in Canada by Ferme Beaulieu Farm. Her eventing career began with Michael Pollard; Julie took on the ride in 2013. With multiple wins at Preliminary, the mare made her international debut in 2014 and jumped clear around five different FEI tracks. She also joined Samson in the AEC awards ceremony after finishing fourth at Intermediate. Cayenne is a proven broodmare who has passed on her jumping ability to daughter CS Carerra (by Contendro, 6 this year and absolutely precious, let me tell you), also owned by Sher Schwartz. Carerra competed at the Novice level with Julie last year in a season that culminated with a fourth-place finish in the Novice Horse division at the AECs.
- Beaulieu's Con Pilot and Linda de Boer had a great, fun and fresh weekend riding in the Richard Spooner clinic. Richard has a different, but very effective approach to explaining the importance of the use of your seat and leg. It's all about the leg!!
- Congratulations to Kelly Plitz of Dreamcrest Farm, Ontario with the purchase of 2012 filly Beaulieu's Clearwater. Sired by Conquest out of Heartbreaker mare Senorita.

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and Operation Lifesaver Inc. (OLI) signed a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) to renew and intensify collaboration on transportation safety and jointly develop new educational materials.
The MOU commits both organizations to ensure their policies and positions on rail and transit safety are consistent; work as partners to develop and distribute safety education and awareness materials to improve rail passenger transportation safety, both for passengers and for members of the general public; and to jointly participate on technical committees affecting rail and transit safety.
OLI and APTA also agreed to create new educational materials for bus drivers operating public transit vehicles at highway-rail grade crossings.
"OLI and APTA are natural allies in transit safety," said OLI President/CEO Joyce Rose. "Our partnership goes back more than a decade. This new agreement deepens our commitment to our shared missions and accounts for new issues and resources that didn't exist when our alliance was born."
One of those resources is social and digital media. The MOU calls for APTA and OLI to share Web-based materials on each other's websites and social media feeds, including public service announcements, videos and other awareness materials. In addition, the two organizations will help publicize each other's workshops and meetings and follow a reciprocity policy that allows members of one organization to attend the other's meeting at member pricing.
"Safety is the number one priority for our industry," said APTA President/CEO Michael Melaniphy. "As public transit grows, we must provide more safety resources to all stakeholders—riders, pedestrians and public transit employees— in ever more creative and effective ways so that the message sinks in."
The agreement comes as the demand for public transportation rises, with some transit agencies reporting double digit growth in passenger trips. APTA reported that in 2012, 10.5 billion trips were taken on light, heavy and commuter rail along with large bus systems. Operation Lifesaver produces numerous materials promoting safe behavior messages, including Key Safety Tips around Commuter, Subway & Light Rail Trains.
The 68-year old streetcar was acquired as part of a trade with United Transportation Corporation (UTC)/Rail Air Sources (RAS) in exchange for two Siemens U-2 light rail vehicles that were phased out of the MTS fleet.
HART's property acquisitions range in price from $22,304 to about $6 million. In June, HART said that it has to acquire 213 properties for the project, and that it had an acquisition budget of $222 million.
The new production facility will serve the Brazilian market and, in a near future, the Latin America region where a number of new tramway projects are emerging. When fully operational, the facility will employ around 150 people.
The first phase of the effort calls upon local law enforcement agencies to show a greater presence at grade crossings, issue citations to drivers that violate rules of the road at crossings and consider rapid implementation of best practices for grade crossing safety.
The first phase of the plan would construct a four-mile section elevated guideway above a section of abandoned railroad tracks. The first section of the elevated railway could connect Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research campus with downtown Greenville.

2010 has been an excellent year for CSC – we have helped children become more actively involved in child protection so that they can help keep themselves and others safe; helped the first Street Child World Cup become a huge success in raising awareness on street children; supported a mentoring scheme between children living in Uganda and the UK; raised key issues involving street children through the All Party Parliamentary Group for Street Children, including the lack of beds for UK street children and the need to include street children in the Millennium Development Goals; and have brought together NGOs, politicians, academics and the public to find solutions to improving the lives of street children through the CSC-Aviva Impact series.
2011 promises to be an exciting year – we have the United Nations Human Rights Council Day in March which is focusing on street children and we are launching the first International Day of the Street Child on 12th April. We would love for you to help us celebrate the day!
In December 2010 grants will be allocated to Brazil, the Ukraine and India to help street children access education and shelter. For example, in Brazil the funding will support children like Pedro to access education by employing a literacy and numeracy teacher for the residential home he attends. The home also provides accommodation for another 50 children.

'Pink ecstasy' drugs warning issued in north Wales
Police have issued a warning about a potentially fatal drug dubbed "pink ecstasy" after samples were seized in Bangor, Gwynedd.
The pills are said to look like pink ecstasy tablets but contain the potentially fatal amphetamine paramethoxyamphetamine or PMA.
Detectives said drug users may be encouraged to take more than usual because the pills act more slowly.
North Wales Police said a man from Merseyside was arrested on Friday.
The seizure of the drugs on Friday evening in Bangor, Gwynedd, was prompted by investigations by Merseyside Police.
The warning put out by detectives said the suspect drugs usually have the letter "M" on them, although the initial may vary.
The drug is also known as "Dr Death" or "Pink McDonald's".
Anyone who is offered one of the tablets is urged not to take it and to call North Wales Police.
'Peddling'North Wales Police Insp Dewi Jones said: "We are concerned that the drug may be being distributed in the Gwynedd area.
"We are working with hospitals, ambulance staff and pubs and clubs to highlight the dangers."
The force said a man in his 20s has been released on bail pending inquiries.
Meanwhile, Merseyside Police's assistant chief constable Andy Cooke, said: "We have strong information to suggest that tablets known a 'pink ecstasy' are being supplied by criminals here on Merseyside and ending up in the hands of young people in different parts of the country.
"Our investigation is focused on finding who is involved in the illegal supply of these drugs and taking both them, and the drugs they are peddling, out of circulation."

The child of a scheming father and ruthless mother, Jane is born during a time when ambition dictates action. Cousin to Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, she is merely a pawn in a political and religious game in which one false step means a certain demise. But Lady Jane has remarkable qualities that help her to withstand the constant pressures of the royal machinery far better than most expect.
Weir's striking novel sweeps readers back through the centuries to witness firsthand one of the most poignant tales from a time of constant scheming and power brokering.
©2007 Alison Weir; (P)2007 Recorded Books, LLC
"Weir proves herself deft as ever." (Publishers Weekly)
"Complex yet completely absorbing....A brilliantly vivid and psychologically astute novel." (Booklist)
"Great reading"
Weir has the ability to make you feel right in the middle of the story. Her accurate history details is amazing. Please add more of her books.
"Excellent Read!"
I was mesmerized by this wonderful audio book. The narrators are excellent. I learned a great deal about this dramatic time in English history. I look forward to reading more from this author.
"love love love it!"
If you enjoy Tudor-era history, you'll love this one! There are plenty of historical facts, and Weir is a master of making her characters come to life and seem to be people you could know. Details down to clothes, food, chambers all contribute to the beauty of this story. This little known Tudor gets her due here.
"History buffs will love this book"
The author gives us an inside look into the mind of the innocent young girl, Lady Jane Grey. Jane was pushed and abused by the very people who should have stood strong to protect her. Old England was in a religious transition and Jane was caught in the middle. The readers did a superb job in the narration. I truly enjoyed this 3 part book. Although I knew how the story would end, I kept hoping the outcome would change. This story will stay with me for a long while.
"Just like Philippa Gregory's books"
Another book about the Tudor era. I wouldn't have even guessed it was a different author. If you enjoyed Gregory's books you'll like this one.
"Great historical fiction"
Very good historical fiction. This brings history (factual or not) to life. The narrators are ok for some of the characters and others are very good.
"Great story..pulls you in."
This was a great read. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys historical fiction. I liked how the author gives the perspective of several different characters. The author does a great job organizing this story from start to finish. I couldn't wait to turn my ipod on to listen to it every day!
"Main character was not likable"
I really enjoy historical fiction, especially 16th century England. But I found the character of Jane Grey to be unsympathetic. I think I may have liked her character more if her intellectual achievements had been better highlighted in the book (they were just alluded to).
"Good Story of Tudor England"
This is an historical fiction account of Lady Jane Grey that seems true to what is known while delving into the emotions and details that can be guessed at. It is an exciting story about a fascinating period in history. Writing style and narration were average to good.
I thought this book was amazing. You never really knew what was going to happen next. Even some of the true history was stated in some places in the book. If you like, stories about the Tudor dynasty this is one book you should read. I mostly listen to my audio books while driving so every time I got to the place I was going I hated turning off my truck because I wanted to know what would happen next.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
