Bid to reshape dementia attitudes
BRANDON -- When Pat married Jack Eastgate nearly 50 years ago, she never thought she would one day become her husband's caregiver.
But once the Brandon couple entered their early 70s, Jack developed a severe form of dementia that Pat says has changed their lives and challenged their relationship.
Yet it hasn't affected her husband's positive take on life.
"Jack hasn't changed. He's always been a very funny fellow and he still is," Pat Eastgate said.
"There's challenges every day, we change things around, but we have a lot of humour in our life."
Nearly four years ago, Jack was diagnosed with vascular dementia, the second-most-common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. It affects his speed of thought, concentration, memory loss and communication.
Jack's initial problems started nearly seven years ago when he had a stroke that affected his speech, walking and vision, but Pat says the lack of communication between them has been the most difficult adjustment.
"We were always talking about things and discussing things, now there isn't that anymore," she says.
"He doesn't make any decisions for himself so when you ask him if he wants cereal or toast he just says, SSLqWell, whatever,' so that's been hard."
Although their life together recently has been challenged by Jack's dementia, Pat still believes in staying active within the community by delivering Meals on Wheels and sharing the effects of his disease with local support groups and community members.
"I believe in being outgoing with the dementia, mentioning it to other people and the support group is great. I think it would make things more difficult to keep this locked up inside you," she said.
Sharing the effects of dementia is part of the idea behind the launch of the Alzheimer Society's new nationwide campaign, "See me, not my disease. Let's talk about dementia," which aims at addressing the myths and stereotypes surrounding the disease while spreading awareness about dementia.
"There's a lot of common stereotyping so we're just looking at people wanting to see the individual and not the disease," said Grace Loewen, program co-ordinator at the Alzheimer Society Westman region office.
"Some people with dementia will feel that they're not being treated fairly and it's important for people to know that people with dementia are still people with unique strengths and abilities."
A portion of the campaign is available on the Alzheimer Society website, alzheimer.ca, where people can take a quiz to test their attitude and challenges Canadians to change the conversation about dementia, Loewen said.
"Hopefully by doing this, people will learn some information and bring to light how they are responding to people with this disease," Loewen said.
There are nearly 20,000 people in Manitoba with a form of Alzheimer's disease, including 2,500 under the age of 65, she said.

Jesse James Is A Dead Man
Report: Jesse James and Sandra Bullock have finalized their divorce
By Christopher Rocchio, 06/28/2010
Jesse James and Sandra Bullock's marriage is reportedly over.
The former
Monster Garage
Jesse James is a Dead Man
star and Oscar-winning actress each signed their final divorce documents last week and the sealed paperwork has since been filed with the Travis County clerk's office in Texas, sources
TMZ on Monday.
Earlier this year, James was accused of
carrying out an 11-month affair
with tattoo model Michelle "Bombshell" McGee while Bullock was in Atlanta filming
The Blind Side
-- for which she won the Oscar for Best Actress.
Reality TV World: Jesse James Is A Dead Man
More Jesse James Is A Dead Man News
Several additional women then
also made similar claims
and James
admitted to the infidelity
-- resulting in Bullock
filing for divorce
in April.
James subsequently stated it
would be "selfish" of him
to deny Bullock a divorce due to the "pain and devastation" his infidelity caused her.
With the divorce now finalized, sources told TMZ that Bullock can complete a single-parent adoption of newborn son Louis Bardo, whom James and Bullock originally adopted as a couple in January.

Now review from the App.
Great Value
I bought this on sale as a field jacket to use hiking and general wear outdoors. The jacket is very well constructed and sheds the rain pretty well. Haven't experienced a downpour in it yet. It breathes really well and let's the excess body heat evaporate. It also cuts the wind very well. I bought the green color and the only thing I am not crazy about are the zippers. They are a bronze metal and just look out of place, but are very durable. I would also like to see some textured zipper pulls added, although that was easily fixed. Overall I am extremely pleased with it and can't beat it for the money.

Need bow advice
I'm new to the forum and I am looking for a little advice on a new bow. I have not owned a bow for the last 4 years so I'm a little out of the loop. My previous bow was a Mathews FX, and I sure wish I had never sold it, but I did and now I'm looking for a new one. So I have narrowed my search down to a Z7 Magnum or a Reezen 6.5. I sure would appreciate any advice you guys have for me.

Vimeo embeds now working on iPad, iPhone
[Note: While most videos on Vimeo.com would play back on iDevices prior to this update if watched on the Vimeo site, the new 'Universal Player' embed code should allow publishers and website developers to include compatible embeds on their sites. Vimeo does not provide mobile versions of every video on the site, limiting some features to Plus (paid) users. Details on making videos mobile-friendly are in the Vimeo FAQ and the new features announcement. –Ed.]
Popular video site Vimeo (think a more artsy YouTube) has changed its embed code to be completely HTML5 compatible, which means you can now browse the site completely embed videos that play back on the iPhone or the iPad. I just pulled the site up on my iPhone, and I have to say, I think it's a smoother browsing experience than the browser itself -- you just get a list of videos, and clicking on whichever one you want (like, for example, the great Dennis Liu music video above) opens it right up in Quicktime. Good deal. Vimeo's been flirting with HTML5 for the better part of this year, but this switchover means everything (including embeds when seen from an iPhone or iPad) is available in HTML5 from the start -- bye bye Flash. [Flash will still be served to desktop browsers. –Ed.]
The new update also adds a "Watch Later" feature to accounts on the site, so you can save videos and pull them back up on the device of your choice, even if you're not using something that works well. Eventually, the Watch Later feature will be added in to the Vimeo API, and there's also a new Vimeo channel available on Roku set-top boxes if you've got one of those.
But the HTML5 change is the biggest one -- one more site leaves the Flash-only fold and becomes extremely accessible to Apple's platform.

Real-Time PCR Quantification of Plant miRNAs Using Universal ProbeLibrary Technology
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are naturally occurring, highly conserved families of transcripts (18-25 nt in length) that are processed from larger hairpin precursors. Both plant and animal genomes encode miRNAs, and to date, there are over 4000 mature miRNA transcripts annotated. Although miRNAs represent a relatively abundant class of transcripts, their expression levels vary greatly among species and tissues. Less abundant miRNAs routinely fail detection using technologies such as cloning, northern hybridization and microarray analysis. Here, we present a real-time quantification method for accurate, sensitive, and economical detection of plant miRNAs based upon the stem-loop RT primer approach using an miRNA-specific primer coupled with a stem-loop specific Universal ProbeLibrary (UPL) probe. This approach represents a highly specific, sensitive, and easy-to-apply system to detect miRNAs. more
Fugene® HD Transfection Reagent: Superior Performance for Challenging Expression Studies
The ability to efficiently introduce foreign molecules into cells constitutes an important tool in any laboratory and facilitates studies of gene regulation and protein function. A plethora of transfection methods have been developed for transfer of DNA into mammalian and animal cells. Those methods either utilize the physicochemical properties of the vector-carrier of the DNA or use mammalian viruses. In the first group of methods, some classic techniques are well-known, such as: calcium phosphate, DEAE-dextran, electroporation liposome-mediated delivery, direct microinjection/biolistic particle delivery, and non-liposomal multi-component reagents. Viral vector systems use both DNA (Adeno-) and RNA (Retro-, Lenti-) viruses. more

The avian H5N1 influenza virus has killed thousands of birds and caused several fatal cases in humans in Asia and Turkey. A fast and reliable test to identify the virus is urgently required for an effective epedemiological control, and associated medical research activities. RNA viruses mutate easily. Thus, detection has to focus on conserved sequence regions. The preferred gene for the detection of a broad spectrum of influenza A virus variants is the matrix protein (M2) gene. Tests for the specific detection of the H5N1 virus must detect its hemagglutinin (H5) and neuraminidase (N1) genes. more

Simulation and Implementation of a Morphology-Tuned Gold Nano-Islands Integrated Plasmonic Sensor
Received: 12 April 2014 / Revised: 24 May 2014 / Accepted: 9 June 2014 / Published: 13 June 2014
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Opto-Microfluidics for Bio Applications)
Abstract: This work presents simulation, analysis and implementation of morphology tuning of gold nano-island structures deposited by a novel convective assembly technique. The gold nano-islands were simulated using 3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) techniques to investigate the effect of morphological changes and adsorption of protein layers on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties. Gold nano-island structures were deposited on glass substrates by a novel and low-cost convective assembly process. The structure formed by an uncontrolled deposition method resulted in a nano-cluster morphology, which was annealed at various temperatures to tune the optical absorbance properties by transforming the nano-clusters to a nano-island morphology by modifying the structural shape and interparticle separation distances. The dependence of the size and the interparticle separation distance of the nano-islands on the LSPR properties were analyzed in the simulation. The effect of adsorption of protein layer on the nano-island structures was simulated and a relation between the thickness and the refractive index of the protein layer on the LSPR peak was presented. Further, the sensitivity of the gold nano-island integrated sensor against refractive index was computed and compared with the experimental results.

The Fading Veterans
10/12/06 at 05:20 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
I had a theory about how older players might fare in the "new" National Hockey League this season that doesn't look as if it's going to pass muster, based on the early going.... For most of the season, the NHL played a go-go style and anyone who couldn't keep up, either found himself on the bench or in the penalty box. The net result: Lots of legitimate, bona-fide former stars looked like shadows of their former selves, just barely hanging on as Generation Next came fast and hard and supplanted them in many a line-up. That was then. With a year under their belts and a chance to learn from what went wrong the year before, it seemed probable that some of these veterans would enjoy a renaissance in the second year of the revamped league.more

from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
Selected second in the 2002 Entry Draft, Lehtonen has been described for years as Blueland's goalie of the future. Based on his play to this point -- and yes, the date on the calendar is duly noted -- it's almost safe to say the future is now. Four starts. Two shutouts. A .071 goals-against average. A .971 save percentage. Three wins. It's easy to get caught up in numbers, especially when they paint such a pretty picture. But proof of the steps that Lehtonen is taking toward his potential as the game's next elite goalie can't be divined from the stats page. You only can find it by watching him work his magic.more

Amber: I've read your father was a real disciplinarian. Describe that infamous story when, at age 10, you faked an injury on the ice, and the long ride home afterward. Tucker: He wasn't happy. He told me he never wanted to me to do that again on the ice. I figured because I scored a few goals in that game, I was pretty good, so I brushed him off. He didn't appreciate that too much, so he told me to get out of the car and walk home in the middle of winter in icy cold Alberta. (laughs)read on

Ray Scapinello Gets Noticed
10/12/06 at 02:45 PM ET | Comments (0)
Respect... Hockey Hall of Famer Clark Gilles was yapping about a penalty that was just called on him. The ref told him, "If you don't think it was a penalty, don't go into the box." Gilles went to the box. The ref at the time was Ray Scapinello, the retired NHL linseman, who actually wore the red armband for parts of six games in his distinguished NHL career. Like he was on the ice, not often noticed but always there, Ray was more than happy to speak with me recently to discuss his new book, Between the Lines (affiliate link). Ray told me he didn't even realize he wrote a book until he read it, but now whenever he visits a book store and sees "Between the Lines", he casually grabs a few copies and tosses them on "Oprah's Choice" table! I had a few questions for "Scampy" from a fans prospective. I wanted to know who he considered the most hard-nosed player. Ray was quick to point out Darren McCarty, saying Mac always gave an honest effort and although not the most talented player, he brought it every game and played hard every shift. I asked Ray if he ever heard the fans yelling at the refs and linsemen during the game and Ray said not really. He was always focused on the game but did hear a constant buzz from the fans, but individual voices never stood out. One subject that often made me wonder was if the on-ice officials tried to avoid any interaction with players during the season. Ray mentioned on occasion, paths would cross, especially in restaurants. One time he was having dinner in Colorado and saw a few players including Ray Bourque. The great defenseman came over and they exchanged a bit of conversation and when it was time to pay the bill, the waitress informed him Bourque had picked up the check and the gratuity too. Ray pointed out the NHL players are the best of the bunch, they know the refs and linseman have a difficult job, and both sides have a mutual respect for each other. I was surprised when Ray informed me he only spent 40 games in the minors before moving up to the NHL for 33 years (and never missed a game). Some of his counterparts spent 4-6 years in the minors before making the NHL which tells me the head of officials at that time had an excellent eye for talent. Some players can say they have made it to the Stanley Cup Finals four or five times- quite and accomplishment in our eyes. But Ray Scapinello officiated in 20 of those finals, a number that will be hard to match in any team sport. In closing, Ray asked me where I was from. When I mentioned Detroit and he found out I attended many a game at the old Olympia, well, let's say we exchanged some old memories of the "Red Barn". By the way, if someone from the Wings organization is reading this, Mr. Scapinello is still waiting for a brick from the "Barn"!

While most of his sophomore classmates at Farmington (Mich.) High School still wonder what they'll do or where they'll head after graduation, 14-year-old Cam Fowler has no such worries. The phenom defenseman has already given a verbal commitment to play hockey for Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson starting in the fall of 2009.... "He's been put in an elite group for his age, and deservedly so. He's just a step or two ahead of everyone else he's playing with," said Honeybaked assistant Pat Peak. "He reminds me a bit of Chris Pronger." Honeybaked head coach Rob Krohl had a different comparison. "He reminds me of a Paul Coffey," said Krohl. "He's got such a pro skating style, he's almost beautiful to watch."more

To paraphrase the philosophers from Three 6 Mafia, "It's hard out there for a goalie."more

I'm lost. Someone explain this one to me…
mind not in gear yet can't get the joke
If Finkleman had insisted that they WERE in a row, that would have been a canard.
Get your "ducks in a row" is an expression used to tell someone to get organized. Finkleman thought he said, "Get your ducks in a roll".
Don't thank me. Just buy the mug, or the tee shirt. -
Oh…. I guess that's it, Richard and Dogsniff.
I'd thought maybe he'd heard "roux"…. but that's not a roux… and it rhymes with threw, not row, anyway.or a "dough?"
But who could take "row" for "dough"? -
If that's the joke (and I'm not convinced it is), pretty damned lame.
The ducks are in rolls, so……
Since most of us don't pay to see these comics, I see no reason to complain.
@mickjam: I'll admit it may not be one of his better ones, but I don't know anyone that can produce masterpieces on a daily basis. Not even me, but on this one I'm correct little buddy. I don't know (or care) which part of it you doubt, but like Susan Sunshine pointed out, Richard S Russell also sees it.
I assume you're not a regular reader (seventeen comments in 4 years was my first clue). I read this one daily, and that helps when they're tough to "get". This is hardly the first one that made us feel stupid. And then there's Brevity. -
I don't think this strip is such a lame duck, even if it did fail to quack up a few people.
No, see Finkleman thought he meant row (rhymes with cow) and soon those those baby mallards were squab-bling so bad that they wound up in a stew which, of course, calls for rolls so …
Yeah, that's what happened. -
There's no ducking the boss. Well at least he didn't put the ducks on a rope.
I thought this strip was funny, but then I've heard the expression before. -
… spent most of my working life in kitchens and still had to think about this one.
LOVED it because it' s[#1] silly and #2 … I worked with THAT GUY in the kitchen! -
I read this comic every day but seldom comment. I always think its funny. I bought Argyle Sweater books for myself and for gifts. I giggled at this today and was surprised people didn't understand it. I agree with Dogsniff, keep the negative comments to yourself.
I betcha those rolls are feather-light!

Completely OT, about a car accident I saw:
I was driving home from work and just turned onto the street I take to get to my street and saw a horrible accident. It had just happened, people were getting out of their cars and rushing over. I had to slow down to get past some of the people in the road, but got an unfortunate very good look at the accident as I passed
I went home, parked and walked back to ask some questions since I'm still kind of new to this neighbourhood. A man who lives on that street said he was sitting on his front porch and saw this man speed past his house several time back and forth 4-5 times. He said that the man had to have been going close to 90 km/h, and since this is a residential area, all of the speed limits are 40-50 km/h. Apparently he blew the stop sign several times as he passed by, almost hitting another car going through the intersection once. On the last rip down the street, he lost control around the intersection that had the stop sign and crashed straight into a tree. He had to have been going pretty fast, because I was in a head on collision back in Feb (not my fault), I was doing 30, the other car was doing 50, my car was totalled, but I walked away from it. They had to cut this man out of the car. I didn't stick around to watch because what I saw on my way home was disturbing enough. I'm not sure if I want to know what happened, but the firefighters on the scene said he was still breathing when I was there.
It's scary, because there are a lot of families with young children in this neighbourhood. Imagine he hit somebody? You'd be lucky to live being hit at those speeds!
A weird side note, the first police officer on the scene was the officer who gave me my first and only ticket. That might not be weird if you live in a small town, but I live in a city that probably has 1000+. He looked familiar, but as soon as he spoke I knew it was him, very distinctive Irish accent.
Wow, that is just crazy...I can't imagine what that guy thought he was doing! Trying to kill himself!?! Sorry you saw it, that would really disturb me I'm sure. I do hope the crazy fellow is ok though.
Congratulations Sandy.
Jessica, my cycle is still all a little hard to read at the moment too, but I've already had a complete cycle since the m/c. FF keeps changing my O dates. As for the driver, unfortunately some people don't seem to think road rules apply to them. In my work we see it all the time. And if they get caught it is always someone else's fault or they have some excuse ready that they think excuses it. Personally, I don't think (as an example) an argument with your partner or a bad day at work warrants driving recklessly and the possible loss of someone else's life.
Pic083 (sorry, I don't know your name), my first post m/c AF is usually a little different but goes back to normal in a cycle or two.
I had a close friend announce her pregnancy today. The second in my close group in the past month and the third this year (third was right after my earlier m/c). This one hurt the most for some reason. I thought I would have handled it better but I really didn't.

Congrats, sandy.
AFM: it turned out a little more normal. I had the 3 days of bleeding, spotted on CD4, had nothing CD4 or most of CD5 then spotted from 8pm CD5 until CD6 afternoon. Weird, but not terribly weird.
I haven't heard too many pregnancy announcements, but there were two new baby announcements within a week of my m/c. I thought I could handle it better, too. I have been meeting a lot of new people recently (new school year and all) and a lot of them are pregnant. I'm ready to join in again, too. I just hope my body gets the memo.

I'm kind of thinking that. To describe the street that the accident happened on, it's about 1 km long with one stop sign about 1/3 km away from a busy street. The other end of the street leads to a sharp right, no stop. There's about a 3 foot strip of grass separating the sidewalk from the road, and the tree he crashed into happens to be the ONLY tree along this 1 km stretch that grows in that 3 foot strip, which also happens to be in that 1/3 km area past the stop sign. All of the other trees are up on people's lawns. The tree is also enormous, easily 100 years old, and big enough around that DH and I can't touch hands around it. Why else would a guy be tearing up a residential street at such speeds, and going back and forth at that? He would have had to have blown the stop sign to hit the tree like that, he wouldn't have been able to reach a speed like that in the distance from the intersection to the tree.
I read in the news that the man died before the emergency crew could even get him out of the car. I've found that I'm more bothered than I thought I'd be about the whole thing. I mean.. I drove by , eating a sandwich, right after the accident happened, before any police or firefighters arrives, a saw the man trapped in his car. I was a stupid rubbernecker, and even went as far as coming back to find out more. That man probably died while I was standing around with other bystanders chatting about what might have happened.
Sorry I'm being so whiny about this. I've seen a handful of car accidents, drove by probably hundreds, but I've never been so close to one that ended in fatality.
Although I have many routes in and out of my neighbourhood, I always go this way for some reason... I wonder if avoiding it for a while will help, or if I should just keep traveling the same route hoping that I'll get over it? I just feel like a jerk...
I'm sorry you're feeling this way Jessica. Also sorry to hear how it ended up. I do not think you should feel like a jerk though, you are so shook up by it b/c you are obviously someone who is caring. This guy was doing something really dumb that cost him his life...thankfully no one else was hurt. I do hate that he made such poor choices and/or felt he needed to take such drastic measures to deal with whatever was going on in his life, if that was the case. Very sad, either way.
I hope you feel better soon and are able to put it behind you. Something like that would really shake me up too.
Jess, I just took a look at your chart! Looks like you O'd and some pretty good BD timing too, assuming there was no prevention. How are you feeling? Do you think you O'd? It does look like a pretty consistent rise pattern and no up/down so FF is probably right, I would think.
Thanks Lynn, I suppose I might be feeling a little "survivor guilt" right now. When I got in an accident early this year, we were so lucky that we weren't injured, we both just opened our doors, shook ourselves off and walked away. Everyone who saw photos of the accident said they were amazed that we were fine. I had a little friction burn on my left hip, and that was it.
I put an overlay chart on my FF homepage, check it out!
Honestly, I wasn't expecting to O at all, so I'm super surprised. When I looked at my chart after I put my temp in this morning it had solid crosshairs, but now it has dotted.. I wonder why it changed when the information hasn't? The BDing was just random and unprotected, so who knows what will happen. I took a HPT this morning, finally negative, and I go for another blood draw today. As long as my LP hasn't changed, I should get AF next Saturday.
What are the risks of getting pregnant before the first AF post m/c? I doubt that'll be the case, but just curious. If I get AF next Saturday, I should O again somewhere between Nov 21-25. So freakin' excited to get back to TTC!
oh, nice chart, Jessica! Good luck.
AFM: got a borderline positive OPK today. On CD11! It feels so early to me.

Anyone who holds a top5 pick next year is looking to get something close to what the Rams got this year. From the looks of it most teams that may end up with a high pick are teams with future franchise QB already. (Titans, Detriot, Miami and us, excluding Oakland, Jax, Chiefs, Browns)The Rams were steadfast in sticking with Sam Bradford too, and they did okay. Teams bidding against each other for the pick creates leverage. Geno Smith and Matt Barkley need to have high demand to get a good haul

Posted 08 October 2012 - 12:04 AM
Hypothetical....if we do end up with a new coaching staff next year....would they pull the trigger on a QB? New regime wants their own guy....I doubt it though, too many more needs right now, we have a good young core though

We will probably be picking in the top 10 again next draft. Our biggest needs are FS, DT, WR, G, TE, and T. If we were to do the draft today, we would have the 6th overall pick.
3-New Orleans
4-Kansas City
As we all know, the Saints** don't have a first. So really we would be picking 5th overall.
1-Cleveland - Geno Smith
I don't see Cleveland sticking with old man Weeden too long if they continue to be a doormat all season, especially since they will likely have a new regime next season (Again)
2-Tennessee - Barkevious Mingo
Tennessee doesn't really have a dominant pass rusher to make opposing offenses pay, no disrespect to Morgan and Wimbley (They haven't done sht). Not only would one of these players be BPA at this pick, but Tennessee is sticking with their man in Jake Locker. They like what they have in him. For now. So no QB 2nd overall.
3-Haha fug the aints**
4-Kansas City - Barkley
I think KC has finally gotten the message, the Matt Cassell experiment is over. Lucky them, one of the top two QBs dropped into their laps because the Taints** are dirty fugers.
5-Jacksonville - Jonathan Hankins
Despite Miami using a top 10 pick on the 3rd rated QB in the draft this year, I don't see that happening again. Not Jacksonville anyways. If there is a regime change, you might see Tyler WIlson or Tyler Bray if he decides to come out. God help him if he does. But as of right now I would have to put them taking probably the top defensive player on the board not named Mingo.
And here we are at 6 with the pick of the litter.
Jarvis Jones
Bjoern Werner
Eric Reid
Jonathan Jenkins
Luke Joeckel
Keenan Allen
Sam Montgomery
Star Lotulelei
Justin Hunter
Jonathan Banks
Take your pick, fellas.

Photo of First Lady and Daughters at the Olympics- Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor: This is a forwarded emails that contains a photo of First Lady Michelle Obama with daughters, Sasha and Malia. The email alleges that the photo was taken at the 2012 Olympics in London, England and that the daughters of the President are wrapped in flags from South Africa.
The Truth: The photo of Michelle Obama with her daughters Sasha and Malia is real but it was not taken at the 2012 Olympics. According to a June 20, 2011 article in Chicago Sun Times the image was taken June 18, 2011 when they landed in South Africa. Also accompanying the First Lady on this trip. to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa and Gaborone, Botswana were her mother, Marian Robinson, and Leslie and Avery Robinson, the children of her brother Craig. The Obama girls are not sporting South African flags either. The article said that Sasha and Malia Obama were given "South African blankets with colors of the nation's flag by young children of the protocol officer as a welcome" and to keep them warm on that chilly night. The official South Africa flag, as shown in the image on the left, has no writing on the surface.
Updated 09/08/12
Mrs. Obama admitted on TV she didn't like USA until a bunch of people, who are clueless, put her dear hubby into office. She still doesn't like the USA --except for the privileges that have been bestowed upon her by being First Lady...
You didn't see this on Lettermen's show, matter fact didn't see it on any show. The United States must have not been in that Olympics. The Obamas display their TRUE colors at the Olympics... Really? South Africa? Nice way to represent OUR country! Gee, ladies, thanks for your support!
Seems they are teaching their children to hate America also !!! It's time to kick them out of the White House!

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.16 / 5.00 3,222 Viewsthis is my first non stuckfigure flash animation and i think it ended up working out really well.
Well it certainly does remind me of those commercials you see on television. I'm still puzzled about the 'had your colon removed' in one of them. Regardless
On the subject of this animation, you should have animated the laughing sequence. Not simply because it would look better, but it'd take that black screen and turn it into something useful. Black screens are sometimes useful, but not when it consists of the majority of an animation.
I quite enjoyed the parody as I just love those commercials.
Lame animation, blah blah blah. Not really any effort put into the humor either. Just laughing for fifteen seconds isn't supposed to be funny.
PS: I'm still laughing
still laughing
it was good.
the lipsync was great.
the only thing i would change are the drawings for dead/cancer.
all those drawings seemed a bot sloppy.
lol and uncolored
Could have done better but good job.
no need to be sorry. i'll get it next time.

Bloomberg BNA — New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman (D) has proposed legislation to require that New York's electricity and gas utilities assess their vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and prepare a plan for adapting to severe weather.
Schneiderman May 19 said the proposed legislation would build on a February decision by the state Public Service Commission (PSC), which approved a plan by Consolidated Edison to spend $1 billion over the next four years for storm hardening and resiliency projects.
A spokeswoman for the attorney general told Bloomberg BNA that he is working with members of the Legislature to have the bill formally introduced.
The PSC decision also required that all New York utilities integrate the potential impacts of climate change into their system planning and construction forecasts and budgets.
In a statement, Michael B. Gerrard, director of the Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School, said the proposed bill "would become a model for the entire country.''
Gerrard, who played a significant role in the PSC decision, said the proposed bill would take "an additional leap forward by writing the requirement into the statute books and broadening its applicability.''
Gerrard told Bloomberg BNA that New York is the first state in the country to require climate adaptation plans from utilities.
Requirements Imposed
Schneiderman said his proposed bill would require gas and electric utilities to assess the probable impacts of climate change on their infrastructure, operations and service delivery operations. They would be required to submit a climate change impact statement to the PSC.
In addition, the companies would have to create a plan for addressing the risks through changes in their operations, planning, infrastructure design and emergency preparations.
"New Yorkers learned the hard way after Sandy and Irene that many of our utility providers are unprepared for a future of more extreme weather,'' the attorney general said in a statement, referring to recent hurricanes. "By requiring gas and electric utilities to assess their vulnerability to climate change and then explain in public their plans to protect their energy systems, we can ensure that utility providers are investing ratepayer dollars wisely. Most of all, we will be ensuring that New Yorkers continue to receive safe and reliable service in a time of increasingly extreme weather.''
Patrick Stella, a spokesman for National Grid, said the company has been investing heavily in storm hardening and resiliency over the past several years.
"Between 2007 and 2016, we have—or will have—spent more than $5 billion on network infrastructure (electric and gas), well beyond historic rates,'' he told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail. "We work very closely with our regulators on investment and reliability, and we are eager to take part in the discussion on being prepared going forward.''
