I'm Late, I'm Late
Here it goes....
*drum roll*
The 6 Weird Things Most People (Online) Don't Know About Me Meme:
1) I am a typical "banana".
I'm 100% Chinese but totally cannot read/ write Chinese or speak more than 3 very painfully patched together sentences in Mandarin or any given dialect.
2) I love Penang Assam Laksa.
Ah......, that glorious smelly fishy soupy noodle dish of Penang!
3) I was probably really close to becoming an alcoholic once.
I'm not proud of it but there was a time that I could finish a 750ml bottle of vodka by myself in much less than 7 days.
4) My (previous) taste in men was pretty questionable.
Many years ago, I was very much in love with Kurt Cobain.... and many years before that, it was a certain member of New Kids On The Block instead who was the object of my undying affection.
(Oh, the shame!)
5) I am horribly moody in real life...
.... but only towards my parents and darling bf.
(I'm working to improve this - they really shouldn't have to put up with my sh1t)
6) Lastly, I'm still very young at heart.
I still love reading comics/ manga and watching cartoons/ anime.
(Stuff by Naoki Urasawa, Neil Gaiman or Mizayaki Hayao are my faves)
Otherwise, I am quite normal... I think.
I choose not to pass on the joy of this MeMe to 6 victims though....
(So, the fun'll stop here... until I change my mind, that is)
Anyway,... I hope that you are all fine.
(Note: I am alive.... but still super crazy busy at work)

Comments Off on Ondrej Pavelec awake and alert, will stay overnight in Atlanta hospital
The Thrashers have provided another update on goalie Ondrej Pavelec who was taken to an Atlanta hospital after collapsing unconscious on the ice early in tonight's game. The update from Atlanta, thankfully, is positive.
Preliminary tests were negative. He's awake and alert at the hospital and asking about the score of the game, but will be kept overnight for observation.
It's great news to hear that Pavelec is doing well and recovering after such a scary incident on the ice. Chris Mason relieved Pavelec in the game and helped lead the way to earn a 4-2 win for Atlanta over Washington.

Signature |
Ignatius Sancho (c. 1729 – 14 December 1780) was a composer, actor, and writer. He is the first known Black Briton to vote in a British election. He gained fame in his time as "the extraordinary Negro", and to 18th-century British abolitionists he became a symbol of the humanity of Africans and immorality of the slave trade.[4] The Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African, edited and published two years after his death, is one of the earliest accounts of African slavery written in English by a former slave of Spanish and English families.
Ignatius Sancho was born on a slave ship in 1729; his precise birthplace is thus unknown. After his mother died in the Spanish colony of New Granada and his father committed suicide rather than to live as a slave, Sancho was taken to England. From 1731 to 1749, he worked for three maiden sisters in Greenwich. John Montagu, 2nd Duke of Montagu (of the first creation) (1690–1749), impressed by Sancho's intellect, frankness and his amiability, not only encouraged him to read but also lent him books from his personal library at Blackheath. Sancho's informal education made his lack of freedom in Greenwich unbearable, and he ran away to the Montagus in 1749. For two years until her death in 1751, Sancho worked as the butler for Mary Montagu (née Churchill), Duchess of Montagu, where he flourished by immersing himself in music, poetry, reading and writing (Ellis 1996:96)[5] (Walvin in King 1997:96)[6] At her death in 1751 he received an annuity of £30 and a year's salary, which he quickly squandered.[5]
During the 1760s Sancho married a West Indian woman, Ann Osborne. He became a devoted husband and father; they had six children: Frances Joanna (1761–1815), Ann Alice (1763–1805), Elizabeth Bruce (1766–1837), Jonathan William (1768–1770), Lydia (1771–1776), Katherine Margaret (1773–1779) and William Leach Osborne (1775–1810).[2] Around the time of the birth of their third child, Sancho became a valet to the George Montagu, 1st Duke of Montagu of the second creation, son-in-law of his earlier patron (Ellis 1996:96).[5] He remained there until 1773.
In 1768 Sancho's portrait was painted by Thomas Gainsborough at the same time as the Duchess of Montagu sat for her portrait by the artist.(King 1997:28).[1][notes 1] By the late 1760s Sancho had already become accomplished and was considered by many to be a man of refinement (Ellis 1996:96).[5]
In 1766, at the height of the debate about slavery, Sancho wrote to Laurence Sterne[7] encouraging the famous writer to use his pen to lobby for the abolition of the slave trade.[8]
That subject, handled in your striking manner, would ease the yoke (perhaps) of many – but if only one – Gracious God! – what a feast to a benevolent heart!
In July 1766 Sancho's letter was received by Reverend Laurence Sterne shortly after he had just finished writing a conversation between his fictional characters Corporal Trim and his brother Tom in Tristram Shandy wherein Tom described the oppression of a black servant in a sausage shop in Lisbon that he had visited.[9] Laurence Sterne's widely publicised 27 July 1766 response to Sancho's letter, became an integral part of 18th-century abolitionist literature.
There is a strange coincidence, Sancho, in the little events (as well as in the great ones) of this world: for I had been writing a tender tale of the sorrows of a friendless poor negro-girl, and my eyes had scarce done smarting with it, when your letter of recommendation in behalf of so many of her brethren and sisters, came to me—but why her brethren?—or your's, Sancho! any more than mine? It is by the finest tints, and most insensible gradations, that nature descends from the fairest face about St. James's,1 to the sootiest complexion in Africa: at which tint of these, is it, that the ties of blood are to cease? and how many shades must we descend lower still in the scale, 'ere mercy is to vanish with them?—but 'tis no uncommon thing, my good Sancho, for one half of the world to use the other half of it like brutes, & then endeavor to make 'em so."[9]
Following the publication of the Sancho-Sterne letters, Sancho became widely known as a man of letters (King 1997:22).[1]
In 1774 with help from Montagu, Sancho, suffering from ill health with the gout, opened a green grocery shop offering merchandise such as tobacco, sugar and tea at 19 Charles Street in London's Mayfair, Westminster.[10][notes 2]
As shopkeeper Sancho enjoyed more time to socialise, correspond with his many friends, share his enjoyment of literature and attracted many people to his shop. Sancho wrote and published a Theory of Music and two plays. As a financially independent male householder living in Westminster, Sancho qualified to vote in the parliamentary elections of 1774 and 1780; he was the first black person of African origin known to have voted in Britain. At this time he also wrote letters and in newspapers, under his own name and under the pseudonym "Africanus". He supported the monarchy and British forces in the American Revolutionary War.
Among his acquaintances were celebrated figures like Thomas Gainsborough, the Shakespearean actor Richard Garrick, violin virtuoso Felice Girdini, the preacher Dr. Dodd (Ellis 1997:29).[5] the renowned sculptor Joseph Nollekens, the novelist Laurence Sterne, Nollekin gave Sancho a plaster cast of his c. 1766 marble bust of Laurence Sterne (National Portrait Gallery, London). Sancho received many prominent visitors at his shop, including Statesman and abolitionist Charles James Fox PC(1749–1806), who successfully steered a resolution through Parliament pledging it to abolish the slave trade. He oversaw a Foreign Slave Trade Bill in spring 1806 that prohibited British subjects from contributing to the trading of slaves with the colonies of Britain's wartime enemies, thus eliminating two-thirds of the slave trade passing through British ports.[11][notes 3]
Ignatius Sancho died from the effects of gout on 14 December 1780. He was the first African to be given an obituary in the British press.
Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho[edit]
While his correspondence often included domestic issues, also commented on the political and literary life in 18th-century Britain[3] [8] One of his more famous series of letters includes his eye-witness accounts of the Gordon Riots in June 1780. The angry mob passed outside his shop on Charles Street. The protest that began when Protestants protested against parliamentary extension of Catholic enfranchisement grew into an a violent mob of 100, 000 looting and burning parts of London.[12]
There is at this present moment at least a hundred thousand poor, miserable, ragged rabble, from 12 to 60 years of age, with blue cockades in their hats – besides half as many women and children, all parading the streets, the bridge, the park, ready for any and every mischief. Gracious God! What's the matter now? I was obliged to leave off – ths shouts of the mob, the horrid clashing of swords, and the clutter of a multitude in swiftest motion drew me to the door, when everyone in the street was employed in shutting up shop. It is now just five o'clock – the ballad-singers are exhasting their musical talents with the downfall of Popery, S-h and N-h, Lord S-h narrowly escaped with his life about an hour since' the mob seized his chariot going to the house, broke his glasses and, in struggling to get his lordship out, they somehow have cut his face.
In 1782 Frances Crewe, one of his correspondents, arranged for 160 of his letters to be published in the form of two-volumes entitled, The Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African. The book sold very well, with over 2000 subscribing to it. His widow received over £500 in royalties. Joseph Jekyll provided the memoirs to the first edition which was reprinted with each additional edition including the 5th edition published by Sancho's son in 1803.[13]
His son, William Leach Osborne, inherited the shop and transformed it into a printing and book-selling business. He printed a 5th edition of Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho with Memoirs of His Life by Joseph Jekyll[10] and the frontispiece engraving by Bartolozzi.[14] in 1803 at this shop on Charles Street.
On Slavery[edit]
Sancho was unusually blunt in this response to a letter from Jack Wingrave, John Wingrave's son. Jack wrote about his negative reaction to people of colour based on his own experience in India during the 1770s. Sancho's friend, John was a London bookbinder and bookseller.[15]
I am sorry to observe that the practice of your country (which as a resident I love – and for its freedom – and for the many blessings I enjoy in it – shall ever have my warmest wishes, prayers and blessings); I say it is with reluctance, that I must observe your country's conduct has been uniformly wicked in the East – West-Indies – and even on the coast of Guinea. The grand object of English navigators – indeed of all Christian navigators – is money – money – money – for which I do not pretend to blame them – Commerce was meant by the goodness of the Deity to diffuse the various goods of the earth into every part—to unite mankind in the blessed chains of brotherly love – society – and mutual dependence: the enlightened Christian should diffuse the riches of the Gospel of peace – with the commodities of his respective land – Commerce attended with strict honesty – and with Religion for its companion – would be a blessing to every shore it touched at. In Africa, the poor wretched natives blessed with the most fertile and luxuriant soil- are rendered so much the more miserable for what Providence meant as a blessing: the Christians' abominable traffic for slaves and the horrid cruelty and treachery of the petty Kings encouraged by their Christian customers who carry them strong liquors to enflame their national madness – and powder – and bad fire-arms – to furnish them with the hellish means of killing and kidnapping.[15][16]
A plaque to the memory of Sancho was unveiled on 15 June 2007, by Nick Raynsford, MP for Greenwich, on the remaining wall of Montague House on the south-west boundary of Greenwich Park. The plaque was funded by Friends of Greenwich Park to commemorate the bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, made law in 1807. A second plaque to his memory is on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
When the City of Westminster commemorated the bicentenary by creating a walking tour of Westminster highlighting events and individuals involved in the campaign to abolish the slave trade, they included 19 Charles Street. This was a collaboration with historian Steve Martin, the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, London, the Palace of Westminster, Tate Britain, Westminster City Archives, and Westminster City Council.[10]
Sancho features on the list of 100 Great Black Britons.
- The iconic "Portrait of an African" (probably Ignatius Sancho). Attributed to Allan Ramsay (1713–1784). Oil on canvas 61.8 x 51.5 cm c.1757–59. A full account of the attribution to Ramsay and identification of Sancho is contained in the article "The Lost African" published in Apollo, August 2006.
- ^ According to King (1997:28-9) There is an inscription by antiquarian William Stevenson on the back of the canvas stating that Gainsborough completed the portrait in one hour and forty minutes on 29 November 1768. Stevenson was the person Sancho corresponded with most frequently. This was the same time as the Duchess had her portrait done. Representations of black subjects typically reflected the artist's ideological view of slavery. Few black people were portrayed with the depth of feeling evoked in this portrait. Gainsborough conveys both the warmth and humour of Sancho's personality and his refined gentlemanly qualities. This is a sharp contrast to contemporary stereotypical images of black people. For this reason Gainsborough's portrait is exceptional. King argued that the Sancho portrait is the most accomplished portrait of a black person in British portraiture of the time (King 1997:30). Bartolozzi's 1781 engraving based on Gainsborough's portrait of Sancho, was used as the frontispiece when Sancho's Letters were published.

Opening Night of NYIFF - LA Edition, Sept. 18, 2013, photo by Joy Bennett
Wednesday night I was thrilled to attend the Red Carpet Opening Night Event of the New York International Film Festival - LA Edition. Friends invited me, and there I met lots of directors, filmmakers, actors, screenwriters, producers, and friends of the above, all celebrating the festival, which runs through September 21.
This is one of the largest independent film festivals, and started in 1993. It's known as the "voice of independent filmmaking." In past years the works of dozens of celebrities have been featured, including Andy Garcia, Selma Blair, Dominique Swain, Tony Danza and countless others. More information and tickets to the events are available here nyfilmvideo.com.
They were also handing out awards Wednesday night. I couldn't catch them all, it was a loud, fun, crowded scene, but I did snag a Mr. Bradd Hopkins, who is the winner of Best Screenplay for his project "Ludlow." A very nice fellow. Congratulations to Mr. Hopkins and all the other festival award winners!
I will return to the festival this Friday to see some festival films and attend the events, and will report back on it then.
I must say I am continually impressed with the ingenuity, gumption, and sheer inventiveness of independent film and filmmakers. I believe that the quality of independent films are often higher than the dribble that the big studios often put out, year in and year out. Tickets are still available to the festival, which is taking place at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, in itself, a lovely and historic venue.
Note: I just added more photos from this event on my Flickr page, check them out here: flickr.com/joybennett.

Propositions of Synod on the Eucharist, Nos. 21-25
"Suggested That New Dismissal Formulas Be Prepared"
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 02, 2005 (Zenit) - Here is a translation of Propositions 21-25 given to Benedict XVI by the recent Synod of Bishops on the Eucharist.
The text below is based on a provisional translation in Italian, which had been published with the Pope's approval. Catholic Online is publishing translations of all 50 propositions.
* * *
Proposition 21
Acclamations in the Eucharistic Prayer
The Eucharistic Prayers could be enriched with acclamations, not only after the consecration but in other moments, as provided in the Eucharistic Prayers for celebrations with children and as is done in several countries.
* * *
Proposition 22
Given that the "lex orandi" expresses the "lex credendi," it is essential to live and deepen faith in the Eucharist with prayer, with which the Church has always celebrated it, namely, the Eucharistic Prayer.
In particular, Eucharistic spirituality is strengthened by recognizing the importance of the Holy Spirit, who transforms the wafers, and makes the entire community become increasingly the body of Christ. The Synod hopes that the link between the epiclesis and the account of the institution will be shown with greater clarity. In this way, it would be more evident that the whole life of the faithful is, in the Holy Spirit and in the sacrifice of Christ, a spiritual offering pleasing to the Father.
In this framework, the Synod notes the need to specify better the different character of the causality that is given in the formula: "The Church makes the Eucharist and the Eucharist makes the Church."
* * *
Proposition 23
The Sign of Peace
The greeting of peace in the Holy Mass is an expressive sign of great value and depth (cf. John 14:27). However, in certain cases, it assumes a dimension that could be problematic, when it is too prolonged or even when it causes confusion, just before receiving Communion.
Perhaps it would be useful to assess if the sign of peace should take place at another moment of the celebration, taking into account ancient and venerable customs.
* * *
Proposition 24
"Ite, Missa Est"
To make more explicit the relationship between Eucharist and mission, which belongs to the heart of this Synod, it is suggested that new dismissal formulas be prepared (solemn blessings, prayers over the people or others), which underline the mission in the world of the faithful who have participated in the Eucharist.
* * *
"Ars Celebrandi"
Proposition 25
Dignity of the Celebration
All participants in the Eucharist are called to live the celebration with the certainty of being People of God, royal priesthood, holy nation (cf. 1 Peter 2:4-5,9). In it, each one expresses his own specific Christian vocation. Those among them who have received an ordained ministry exercise it according to their rank: Bishop, priests and deacons. In particular, the role of deacons and the service of readers and acolytes deserves greater attention.
Bishops above all, as moderators of the liturgical life, must promote a worthy celebration of the sacraments in their own diocese, correct abuses and propose the worship of the Cathedral Church as example.
This Synod renews its appreciation for the care with which presbyters celebrate the liturgy in a worthy manner, "attente ac devote," for the greater benefit of the People of God. In this way they highlight the importance of faith, holiness, the spirit of sacrifice and personal prayer to celebrate the Eucharist. An excess of interventions should be avoided, which can lead to a manipulation of the Holy Mass, as, for example, when liturgical texts are substituted with foreign texts or when the celebration is given a connotation that is not liturgical.
An authentic liturgical action expresses the sacred character of the Eucharistic mystery. The latter should be reflected in the words and actions of the celebrant priest while he intercedes, with the faithful or for them, before God the Father.
Like all artistic expressions, singing should also be in profound harmony with the liturgy, contributing effectively to its end, that is, it should express faith, prayer, wonder, love for Jesus present in the Eucharist.
The value, importance and necessity of the observance of the liturgical norms must be underlined. The Eucharistic celebration must respect the sobriety and fidelity of the rite desired by the Church, with a sense of the sacred that helps to live the encounter with God and also with sensible forms that favor it (harmony of the rite, of liturgical vestments, of adornments and of the sacred place). It is important that priests and those responsible for liturgical pastoral care make known the applicable liturgical books (Missal, Lectionary) and the corresponding normative.
To orient the faithful on the mystery celebrated, a previous catechesis is necessary that fosters their active participation imbued with authentic piety. The ministers must help toward this full participation with the proclamation of the texts and recommending the appropriate times of silence, gestures and attitudes.

Background information | |
Origin | Netherlands |
Genres | Pop, Dance, MOR |
Instruments | Vocals |
Years active | 1979–1988, 1998, 2006–2007 |
Labels | Warner Bros. Records |
Past members | Angela Groothuizen Angéla Kramers Anita Heilker Esther Oosterbeek Patty Zomer Ria Brieffies |
Dolly Dots were a popular Dutch girl band in the 1980s.[1] With their style of upbeat dance/pop, they scored many hits throughout Europe. The sextet consisted of Angela Groothuizen, Angéla Kramers, Anita Heilker, Esther Oosterbeek, Patty Zomer and Ria Brieffies.
The Dolly Dots had many hits between 1979 and 1988. They were most successful in the Netherlands, but they also scored hits in the rest of Europe. Their single "Radio" was a big hit in Japan. "P.S." was a Top 50 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play hit in 1981. They also enjoyed hits in Turkey, Lebanon, Iceland, and toured through Egypt.
At the peak of their success in 1984 the Dolly Dots had their own TV series, Barbie dolls, wallpaper, and a #1 hit, "Love Me Just a Little Bit More (Totally Hooked On You)". At the end of the next year, Anita Heilker left the group to have a daughter. She later became the Dutch voice of Donald Duck. The rest of the band continued as a five-piece.
Heilker had already launched her own career. In 1986 she released four solo singles ("You've Got Me Keyed Up", "Into The Night", "Dancing On The Moon" and "Don't Treat Me Like This"), as well as a solo album (The Girl In Black).
Since the TV series' success in 1984, there had been plans to record a Hollywood movie. In the summer of 1986 the 5 remaining Dolly Dots finally went to the US to work with an unfinished script and made a movie called Dutch Treat, which was released later that year. The movie and its soundtrack were modest successes in The Netherlands but were not released in the US due to poor reviews. The group broke up in 1988. Their last single was an attempt to break into the UK market. The Dolly Dots teamed up with hit producers Stock Aitken Waterman and released the song "What a Night". It reached number 18 in the Dutch charts, but was not successful in the UK.
On October 2, 1988, the Dolly Dots played a farewell show at the Amsterdam Escape. After more than 9 years, they felt the time was right to go their separate ways; as Ria Brieffies would later say, "There's more to life than being a Dolly Dot".
Solo careers[edit]
In 1989 Anita Heilker taped a sitcom with satirical duo Henk Spaan and Harry Vermeegen (Die 2, 'those 2' in English) for early 1990 broadcast on Veronica.
Angela Groothuizen teamed up with Ruud Mulder, former guitarist of disco/funk-contemporaries Spargo, to record as Angela & the Rude. She also began a television hosting career for AVRO starting in 1990 with an adaptation of Challenge Anneka; this was followed by Sex with Angela and later, Who's the Mole?. Her contract expired in 2005 and was not renewed. Groothuizen has since moved to RTL 4 where she was a panel judge for X Factor, The Voice of Holland and The Voice Kids. She is also host of the show Een Nieuw Begin. Angela is still making music and has her own theatre shows.
Patty Zomer became a fashion stylist for several well-known Dutch artists and magazines. In the early 2000s she co-hosted The Fashion Police with footballer's wife Nada van Nie.
On October 1, 1998 all six Dolly Dots were interviewed by Paul de Leeuw and surprised everyone by singing a medley of three of their biggest hits. Two months later they reunited for a one-off concert to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their split, and the release of a compilation album of all their hits, called The Collection.
In 2003, Aad Ouberg, who was closely involved with the group, was responsible for getting a Dolly Dots musical off the ground. The musical Love Me Just a Little Bit More played at The Chassé Theatre in Breda and around the Netherlands during 2004.
As result of renewed interest in the group after the musical, Warner Bros. Records released a Dolly Dots greatest hits compilation album of the group as well as a DVD. In 2007, all six original members reunited for a series of guest performances during Vrienden van Amstel Live. Their success there led to three concerts of their own in Ahoy Rotterdam. The DVD of those concerts reached gold status in the Netherlands. In 2008 a tour followed, called 'Goodbye For Now'.
Ria Brieffies, who went on to pursue culinary interests, was diagnosed with cancer in November 2008; she died on July 20, 2009. Angela Groothuizen announced that without Brieffies, the Dolly Dots would never perform again.
In 2011 Anita Heilker made her comeback as a solo artist in a Dutch show called: The Winner Is...

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Kissy Kapri, Laurie Vargas, and Alexa Lynn all believe themselves up to guzzling 10 loads of man sauce ? and all prove as capable as they claim.
Kapri reveals an early and intense viewer's education in sex videos, including those that take "doggie style" to a literal level. Compared to that, kneeling and patiently sucking off 10 dudes must seem wonderfully tame.
Vargas is a hot and wonderfully fleshed Latina, who claims a strong affection for swallowing cum and has a reputation as an excellent cock sucker. She licks ass, too.
Lynn worries that she's out of practice and won't be able to make it through 10 loads without getting sick. She comes off a little frenzied, but declares the experience "quite tasteful."
Retailing: More cum swallowing goodness for fans of the series.

Attorney General J. Joseph Curran, Jr. announced today that his Consumer Protection Division has issued a final order requiring an unlicensed builder to refund payments of $23,500 he collected from a consumer in Prince George's County and pay penalties of $100,000. The Division found that Kevin Robinson, dba Robinson & Associates of Temple Hills, violated Maryland's Custom Home Protection Act by failing to place monies paid by consumers into an escrow account or having a surety bond to cover the deposits; violated the Home Builder Registration Act by acting as a home builder without being registered with the Division's Home Builder Registration Unit; and violated the Consumer Protection Act by failing to build the home as promised.
The order bars Robinson from acting as a home builder in the State of Maryland until he is registered as a home builder under Maryland's Home Builder Registration Act, requires payment of restitution for all monies that he has received as a home builder since January 1, 2001, and requires payment of a civil penalty in the amount of $100,000.
" Consumers need to protect the biggest investment of their lifetime by ensuring that their home is being built by a registered home builder and that any deposits they make are protected by an escrow account, bond or letter of credit," said Attorney General Curran.
Consumers can check whether their builder is registered and how the builder protects deposit money by contacting the Home Builder Registration Unit at (410) 576-6573 in Baltimore or toll free at (877) 259-4525, or by checking on the Attorney General's website: www.oag.state.md.us/homebuilder. Consumers who have paid money to Kevin Robinson dba Robinson & Associates in connection with a new home should also contact the Home Builder Registration Unit.

Homeschooling, midwifery mom to 4 beautiful blessings(8,6,4,1)
Lindsay: DS#1 (06/06) DD#1 (09/07) DS#2 (10/08) DD#2 (06/09). AND A BABY DUE NOVEMBER 2013
Mom of three - (2.5 yrs, 7yrs, and 11yrs). Birthing Doula, editor, and wife to my soulmate. I've had a c/s, hospital VBAC, UC and not yet decided what I'll do about this next little one
I just learned about this while teaching the nursing students on the postpartum floor this semester. We had a baby who was having tremors, they would increase when we tried to do the reflexes. When i went to talk to the mom to get a history, she said she had felt that in the womb and they had done several ultrasounds. The ultrasounds didn't show anything unusual.
I know with this mom, they tested the baby for drugs/alcohol at birth (through mec and urine). Baby and mom were clean. I find this interesting. If I heard about it, I would probably think hiccups or something, but after seeing this case, I definitely think there's something to it. And I think the answer is simply that we don't know. |

Antonio Margheriti
Antonio Margheriti | |
Born | Rome, Italy |
19 September 1930
Died | 4 November 2002 Monterosi, Viterbo, Italy |
(aged 72)
Occupation | director, producer, writer |
Antonio Margheriti (19 September 1930 – 4 November 2002), also known under the pseudonym Anthony M. Dawson, was a prolific Italian filmmaker. He was born in Rome and died in 2002 from a heart attack in Monterosi, Viterbo, near Rome at the age of 72.[1]
Life and career[edit]
Margheriti started out in the Italian film industry in 1956 as a screenwriter. He started directing in 1960, his first film being Assignment Outer Space. Margheriti is known for his science fiction, horror, spaghetti western and action movies. He directed such Italian cult movies as Castle of Blood (1963), The Long Hair of Death (1964), Wild Wild Planet (1965), Cannibal Apocalypse, The Virgin of Nuremberg, Naked You Die, Mr. Super Invisible, The Last Hunter, Battle of the Worlds and numerous others. Most of his films were directed under the pseudonym of Anthony M. Dawson. He stopped using his real name in the USA early in his career, when he was told by his dubbing director Ted Rusoff that the English translation of the name "Antonio Margheriti" was "Anthony Daisies", and that it sounded too effeminate.
He was the only Italian director who worked directly for American production companies like MGM, United Artists, 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, etc. with films like: Yor, the Hunter from the Future, Take a Hard Ride, Killer Fish, etc. Margheriti said his action/adventure/war films were his favorites, and his least favorite movies were the sword-and-sandal peplum films he made in the early 1960s (such as Devil of the Desert Against the Son of Hercules and Giants of Rome).
For years, director Paul Morrissey disputed Margheriti's claim that he had directed "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein" in the early 1970s, saying that Margheriti was mostly just a technical advisor on that film. Morrissey said Margheriti did however direct a very, very brief segment of the movie (mostly the scenes involving the two children roaming around in the lab).
Margheriti worked with many well-known genre actors such as Lee Van Cleef, John Saxon, Claude Rains, John Morghen, Klaus Kinski, Barbara Steele, Reb Brown, Donald Pleasence, Yul Brynner, David Warbeck, Luciano Pigozzi, Marvin Hagler, Lee Majors, James Franciscus, Terence Hill, Fred Williamson, Christopher Lee and many others. Most of his later films were shot in the Philippines (especially his war films). Margheriti also collaborated on the special effects in two Italian cult films which he did not direct, Sergio Leone's "Fistful of Dynamite" (1971) and Aldo Lado's "The Humanoid" (1979).
Margheriti retired from filmmaking in 1996 at age 66. He died in 2002 of natural causes. Margheriti's son Edoardo and daughter Antonella are both also involved in filmmaking. Eli Roth's character in the 2009 Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds took Margheriti as his namesake.
The Gamma One series[edit]
Margheriti made two of the first ever Italian space movies in 1960 and 1961 respectively; Assignment Outer Space (known as "Space Men" in Italy) and Battle of the Worlds (known as "The Planet of Extinct Men" in Italy).
In 1965, since he was considered an accomplished science-fiction film director who could work wonders with a very small budget, Margheriti was hired by MGM to direct four Italian space movies that became known as the Gamma One series. He finished all four films in three months. The films in the series were made to be distributed in the USA (most were sold directly to late-night television) under the following titles: Wild Wild Planet, War of the Planets, War Between the Planets and Snow Devils. A fifth film was later made in the Gamma One series in Japan in 1968 entitled The Green Slime (a.k.a. Gamma One: Operation Outer Space) which starred Robert Horton, but Margheriti was not involved with that one.

You've heard of the "January Effect"? It's the phenomenon that seems to cause stocks, particularly small caps, to surge in the first month of the year. In theory, investors and institutions sell securities in December for tax-harvesting reasons, then buy them back the following month, causing them to jump in price.
And the other months? Retailers, for example, perform better in particular months because what they sell is seasonal. Some stocks even do better in February.
Whatever the reason, investing based solely on the calendar is certainly not a Foolish strategy. Back-testing and data-mining can turn up nearly any causal relationship we want, if we search hard enough. Still, wouldn't it be great to know ahead of time which stocks performed best at what times?
On Motley Fool CAPS, more than 92,000 investors have assessed more than 5,500 stocks, awarding five-star ratings to the companies that most command their confidence. We've paired their opinions with data going as far back as five years to see which stocks perform best in each month.
These companies do their best in April:

What drove the stellar April performance of ABB, an industrial gear supplier to the power industry? The surge is most likely an anomaly, much like December's status as the worst month to own the stock; ABB typically falls by an average of more than 1% during that month -- so get ready to sell. Not!
It just so happens that December is the best performing month for rival Siemens (NYSE: SI ) ; it returns about 7% in the month. That's why we don't recommend using this as a list of stocks to buy or sell -- just a platform for further research. Whatever the reason, ABB's five-star rating suggests that CAPS investors think its future performance is ready to power up.
Except for the past few days, thanks to the Fed, the year has been off to an ugly start for many stocks, but if April really is their month to shine, lets see which of the companies above might live up to that promise.
Plowing ahead
The company with the worst performance so far this year also has a history of having one of the best performances in April. Pharmaceutical giant Schering-Plough saw its stock turn sickly when a study of its drug Vytorin -- co-marketed with Merck (NYSE: MRK ) -- was found to be not as effective as previously thought.
Yet Schering surprised analysts the following month with an earnings report that beat expectations. While the market was having a heart attack over Vytorin, the pharma was still producing sales with its pipeline.
Investors on CAPS understand that Vytorin is only one part of Schering's business plan. Safety wasn't the issue here; rather it was that Vytorin was no more effective than one of its components taken alone. That raises the issue of whether it should continue to be prescribed as much because it is more expensive, but Schering ought to still realize revenue from it.
Moreover, acquisitions that the pharma has made have CAPS players like addaam78 seeing other opportunities last month.
Great, innovative company, high growth potential. Attractive valuation at F P/E of 14. It acquired Organon not too long ago. Recently it has been beaten down nearly 35% because of a study regarding a cholesterol drug.
Similarly, CAPS investor mikalee sees Organon as making a bullish case for Schering.
Unfairly beaten up. With the purchase of Organo Biosciences, has much potential for growth with the new medications.
A calming effect
But, reader, we haven't heard from you yet. At Motley Fool CAPS, every investor's opinion counts. Your voice affects these stocks, whatever month the calendar may display. Since it's free to sign up and express your investing opinions, use this opportunity to take your star turn.

Chestnut and Apple Stuffing
Stuffing that is to be cooked inside turkey should be warm or at room temperature; it should not be refrigerated. Be sure you are ready to stuff the turkey soon after stuffing is made.
Cranberry, Apple, and Maple Phyllo
Plumped up by the warmth of the oven, close-to-bursting cranberries are interspersed amid slices of softened apple in a simple tart built upon crisped, store-bought phyllo; the berries also work well in many other apple recipes, including pies and cobblers.
