Two Views of John Paul II Reflected in New Films
Inevitably, the road for both productions led to Rome, where ABC recently completed shooting, and CBS is working through mid-October. And before Rome, while ABC did much of its filming in Vilnius, Lithuania, CBS covered a good part of John Paul's pre-Vatican life in Krakow, Poland, the city where he was archbishop before becoming pope in 1978.
For drama, of course, the films need look no further than John Paul's extraordinary life. The real question is how to shape this material.
Neither network made its script available, but both disclosed that they had opted to tell the story largely as a flashback: ABC opens with John Paul praying at the Western Wall during a visit to Jerusalem in 2000; CBS looks backward and forward from his wounding by a Turkish gunman in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981.
Still, while both movies appear to approach John Paul with due reverence, there is one fundamental difference.
"Ours does not avoid controversy," said Lorenzo Minoli, one of the executive producers of ABC's "Have No Fear." "We show the pope's confrontation with Romero over liberation theology. We deal with the sex scandals in the American church. We depict his youthful friendship with several young women and even show an innocent kiss while he is acting in a play. We show 'the human man' behind the pope."
And he added: "We are not making an Opus Dei movie. Others are."
Certainly, Opus Dei, the deeply conservative Catholic order, is deeply involved in the CBS film.

Photoshop is one of the world's most powerful image editors, and it can be daunting to try to use skillfully. Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Advanced, the second part of the popular and comprehensive series, follows internationally renowned Photoshop guru Deke McClelland as he dives into the workings of Photoshop. He explores such digital-age wonders as the Levels and Curves commands, edge-detection filters, advanced compositing techniques, vector-based text, the Liquify filter, and Camera Raw. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details, smoothing over wrinkles and imperfections, and enhancing colors without harming the original image. Exercise files accompany the course.
Recommended prerequisite: Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts and color settings for Photoshop from the Exercise Files tab.
In this exercise, we're going to create a slightly more involved layer comp, so that you can get a sense of just how wonderful it is, that you can save out appearances, blend modes, and Opacity values and all that jazz, differentlayer effects, using layer comps, it's a very, very powerful feature. I've gone ahead and saved my progress so far. It's the document called Ten little layer comps.psd, and it's so called of course because I do have ten little layer comps. You can see right here that this latest sort of strangely named Layer Comp Talk bubble has indeed been saved along with the file.
I'm not suggesting that every time you make a layer comp you go ahead and choose the Save As command and save it as a separate image, because that would defeat the purpose. That's what we had to do in the old days before layer comps. If you wanted to save different layered states, then you would have to actually save those as separate files and you would garbage up your hard drive, because layered documents are so ginormous. But thanks to the advent of layer comps, that means that you can save different versions of a single layered composition inside of that single layered composition. So you're really saving multiple variations on your artwork, if you will.
Of course, all of your variations are parametric; no pixel level modifications. We'll discuss some more limitations associated with layer comps in the next ever so helpful exercise. I'm going to make my Layer Comps palette tiny again; I'm going to collapse it there. I'm going to twirl open Emperor Scratch, this group right there, that's very close to the top of the Layers palette, and you'll see that we have duckbill, which, hadrosaurs are informally called duckbill dinosaurs, because they look exactly like ducks after all. Then we also have teeth and hands; these hyper-realistically rendered hands on my part, photo-realistic teeth as well, so it's all highly realistic. Well, not so much. We're going to enhance the realism using some Layer Effects.
So I'm going to start by expanding right here the duckbill. We haven't gone into much detail about Layer Effects yet. We will, as I say, we're going to have an entire chapter devoted to these very, very useful functions. But I've gone ahead and created them in advance. You could create them on the fly, let's say if this was the real world and you were really for real working through a real layered composition in the realm of reality, then you would heap on everyone of these, and you'd probably start off with Bevel and Emboss. I'm just going to click in front of it. So that gives the dinosaur skull some cartoon depth. Also, it kind of makes it look like the screen is bouncing onto him. It's highlighting the dinosaur.
Then I went ahead and added a little bit of a Gradient Overlay in order to darken him up and make him seriously sinister, you can see. Then I wanted him to look like he is being lit sort of greenish by the glow at the ginormous cathode-ray tube or whatever this thing is. I did that by adding this Inner Glow Effect right there, and you can see he is turning slightly green, so that he looks like he is like in his evil laboratory right now. Awesome! Then I'll go ahead and hide the effects so that we have more room to work.
Let's go to the teeth. Right now they don't look very scary; they look like they're cut out of construction paper. So let's add some Bevel and Emboss to give it a nice Bevel. Next, I want to add a little bit of edge shading around the teeth, and I'll do that using an Inner Glow, and you can see how effective that is, that looks very, very nice. He has got some very dangerous teeth going there. Then I'll turn on the Drop Shadow, which I'm not sure his teeth would really cast the shadow onto this big giant green screen, but it looks good, so that's all I care about. I'm going to go ahead and twirl that guy close and then twirl open hands, and then we've got Bevel and Emboss of course, and that adds little bit of highlighting on the hands there.
Let's do an Inner Glow for good measure, sort of darken things up, and Outer Glow so that he has glowing hands. I don't know why. Then Drop Shadows as well, in order to just add some more depth to the hands. I think it's one of those screens where if you touched it, it kind of goes blue, so that's why he's got the Outer Glow effect. All right. We'll twirl that close. If I go back to my Layer Comps palette, notice Talk bubble no longer has a newspaper page in front of it, and if I were to click on it, all of my Layer Effects would go away, because I said to save the appearance, and that appearance involved no layer styles. So I just flattened off my evil hadrosaur.
His level of evilness drops precipitously, thanks to that. So let's go ahead and undo that modification, by pressing Ctrl+Z, Command+Z on the Mac, or always remember that you've got this Last Document State option right there, you can click in front of it in order to regain things. Okay. So I just want -- there's little bit of danger, just watch out for that. Let's go ahead and save of the state. If we really want to be safe, we'd go oh, I almost lost that. Let's go ahead and save it off. I click on the little Page icon and I would name it Dinosaur depth or something along those lines.
Then Visibility is turned on, Appearance is turned on; definitely turn on Appearance or we're going to not pay attention to any of that jazz. Then Comment, which is something like, My goodness, now he is so very scary, or something along those lines. That's good. An exclamation point is better. Then I'm going to go ahead and click on the OK button in order to create that layer comp right there, and now I can switch between them. This is Talk bubble, which doesn't have the effects; this is Dinosaur depth, which does have the effects.
But we've also got this cavernous eyehole right there, and we don't want that. So go over here to Layers palette and turn on the eyeball layer so that inexplicably a skeleton has an eyeball and he is looking, but this isn't his skull, this is his exoskeleton, this is just the way he happens to look. But of course, I have upset Dinosaur depth, its no longer active. It is selected but it's not the active state. So presumably, I could create yet another layer comp, there is no reason really not to except for cluttering up your document, but in my case what I want to do is just update it. So I've gone ahead and added a different layer, fine. Then I would click on that little Update icon in order to make the eyeball part of that layer comp right there.
Now, we just have this wonderful narrative at our disposal here. I'm going to go ahead and collapse my right side palettes like this, so I have a little more room to work. I'll move layer comps over here. I don't want to move them into the stack there, so I'll just move them off to the side. You have to watch where the little blue lines are showing up. Let's just start the whole thing over. This is the Badlands photo at the beginning. This is Ground & sky, and this is the Basic landscape; looking nice. Rapid City photo, doesn't look good at all, it's horrible. Dinosaur elements, oh, my goodness, all of a sudden the realism occurs. Then we go to Rough comp and Final comp; of course we saw that before, and that is a delightful looking photo illustration.
Then we've got Surveillance with the scary factor, just starts going through the roof, and then we have got the Hadrosaur elements, we're introducing our antagonist, which is a good thing to do, that has to happen. Then we'll give them some dialog, also very helpful. Then finally, we'll finish off the composition with some depth. So there you go, that's how to tell a story in Photoshop using layer comps. In the final exercise of this horrifying chapter, I'll tell you what layer comps don't do, which is actually a lot. It's just an FYI that I'll share with you next.

Mormon musician, mom hopes to help women laugh, learn
The days of being a mother with young children aren't completely behind Mormon musician Hilary Weeks just yet.
She and her husband, Tim, have four girls — the oldest just received her driver's license and the youngest started kindergarten.
And she remembers those days when all of her girls were little.
"When I was a young mom, sometimes I just needed a break," Weeks said. "A chance to just laugh and a chance to be with other women."
That's what she hopes Deseret Book's Time Out for Women program is for moms of all ages.
The last stop on Time Out for Women's 2010 Infinite Hope tour is this weekend with a sold-out crowd in Salt Lake City, where Weeks will perform. Others, including Deseret Book authors, will also present.
During Weeks' presentations, she will sing and tell experiences of being a mom.
"I get to sing things that are funny. I get to sing things that are serious," Weeks said. "I hope with the speakers' combined messages, they get what they came for."
Weeks has also performed at BYU's Women's Conference and at other venues.
Many times she'll hear back from attendees about her music.
"I save every one of them," said Weeks. "I do try to respond. … People are so kind and accepting."
It's those experiences that the letter-writers share and her own that she draws on for inspiration for her songs.
Songwriting for some seems to be simple, but for Weeks it includes more writer's block.
"That's something I've loved from a young age," Weeks said of songwriting. "I feel like there is meaning to it, and it benefits people and makes a difference."
Otherwise, she would simply write just for herself and find more time for catching up on the laundry, making sure the house is in order and doing digital scrapbooking, which is one of her favorite things.
Weeks, who serves as her ward's Young Women president, knows she can't say yes to every invitation.
"I don't want (my children) to grow up and I don't really remember raising them," Weeks said.
The couple seems to manage when she's away with Time Out or other invites.
"My husband doesn't miss a beat," Weeks said. "They make Little Caesars and Wendy's their friend and do a really good job."

In the tradition of the acclaimed graphic memoirs Fun Home and Persepolis comes a funny, insightful, and deeply moving book about learning to appreciate what we have when we can't seem to get what we want.
For Phoebe Potts, the path to maternal fulfillment has not been easy. All her friends seem to get pregnant, but she can't conceive for all her trying. As Phoebe and her husband, Jeff, navigate the emotionally and physically fraught world of fertility experts, she takes stock of what matters in the rest of her life and reflects on the winding journey to her true calling as an artist. From her days as an amateur union organizer in Texas to her spiral into paralyzing depression in Mexico; from her soul-shrinking, all-for-the-benefits stint as an administrative assistant at a fancy university in Cambridge to her flirtation with rabbinical school, Phoebe illuminates the bumpy road to vocational and personal contentment. Her wonderful, hilarious, and utterly original drawings capture the truly good eggsan unforgettably nutty mother; a devoted husband; a team of therapists, hairdressers, and landladies; friends; and a sidekick housecatthat together expand the definition of what really makes a family.
Phoebe Potts grew up in Brooklyn and then on Martha's Vineyard. A graduate of Smith College, she received her MFA from the Maine College of Art in Portland. She lives with her husband, the artist Jeffrey Marshall, in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Current and future health care delivery models are quickly outgrowing legacy communications architectures, which lack the structural flexibility and, more importantly, the control and security of Next Generation Networks, or NGNs. NGNs can fundamentally change and improve the existing health care business model by reducing costs, increasing flexibility, maximizing new technologies and expanding health care services, all closely controlled to satisfy regulatory constraints.
What are Next Generation Networks?
NGNs enable lightning-fast exchanges of data over a wide geographical network that can encompass city, state and even multi-state regions. Data includes all types of information and services, such as voice, video, electronic health records and telehealth applications (e.g., remote diagnosis). While the Internet is available for health care uses, latency and capacity/cost/security issues obstruct the complete and secure control of data and communications that are available with NGNs. NGNs enable new applications and create ubiquitous connectivity using one network focused on health care. They reduce costs by removing costly legacy technology and by decreasing complex, circuitous connections not necessary for a purpose-built network. At the same time, NGNs permit much higher levels of control over network security, stability, reliability and geographical deployment. Significantly, users are no longer constrained by third-party restrictions and limitations.
Case Study: OSF Healthcare
One major health care system that has capitalized on the new opportunities of an NGN is OSF Healthcare System, based in Illinois, which consists of nine acute care facilities and two colleges of nursing. It also has a primary care physician network consisting of over 600 primary care, specialist physicians, and advanced practice providers. Total operating costs for OSF had tripled over five years, much of it due to the rapid growth of its costs to operate its legacy network. OSF's decision to implement an NGN was driven by the need to increase capacity and better support health care delivery, mitigate risk to its existing network and enable future health care applications. By implementing an NGN, OSF has improved operational efficiencies and patient outcomes. The network is deployed with projected payback in 36 to 60 months. Davis Wright, along with Fiberutilities Group, assisted OSF in implementing its NGN.
Examples of cost savings:
• Five-year operating expense reductions of up to 25 percent
• Data center foot print reduction of up to 45 percent
• Power cost reductions of over 30 percent
Although the cost and cost savings generated by NGNs are unique to each network, as a range of magnitude, such a network can cost anywhere from a few million dollars to upward of $20 million. The payback potential, however, is tremendous. Removing legacy equipment and the cost of operating and maintaining such equipment alone can save hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly, plus the revenue generated by improved, new and different services can increase the bottom line substantially.
Funding Sources for NGNs
Funding NGNs can be accomplished by a number of means. The federal government's Healthcare Connect Fund, for instance, is an annual funding facility of $400 million devoted to NGNs. Internal funds are another source as are funds generated by the sale of network capacity to third parties.
A necessary first step toward realizing the benefits of an NGN is to conduct an assessment of existing network connectivity and then compare it to what can be done and what best fits the long-term strategy of the health care entity. Once that step is accomplished, the next step is to determine how best to get there by creating a detailed plan and fully supporting and executing that plan.
One thing is certain: NGNs are on the rise. They offer health care providers the ability to reverse the trend of decreasing revenues and increasing costs as well as to remain competitive with other health care providers by the delivery of new and improved health care services.

Matt Rachamkin has never lived in Oklahoma. Connecticut was home for the first two-plus decades of his life — Stratford, then Norwalk, then Stamford — and now he lives in San Francisco.
Oklahoma City Thunder: How Kevin Durant enticed a Sonics lover to become a Thunder fan
But he loves the Thunder.
And it started with baseball.
Yes, baseball.
Rachamkin was only 5 when the story of a father and son sharing the same outfield captured his imagination. It was the summer of 1989, and Ken Griffey Sr. was playing the outfield with his son Ken Griffey Jr. in Seattle. Even though Rachamkin was thousands of miles away on the other side of the country, the Mariners became his first team.
Two years later, he fell in love with the Mariners' basketball brethren in Seattle. Gary Payton was throwing under-handed ally-oops to Shawn Kemp, and Rachamkin ate it up. The Sonics became his basketball team.
You know the rest.
Or at least you know about the Sonics leaving Seattle.
Rachamkin might've found a different team when the franchise moved to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder, but his passion had been cemented when it drafted Durant.
Rachamkin had become a fan of Durant when he was still in high school in suburban Washington D.C. There was something about the way the kid shot and moved and carried himself. Rachamkin loved everything about him.
Then, Rachamkin's team drafted Durant.
It was kismet.
But the story gets better and the connection gets deeper.
One of Rachamkin's close friends has an in to the NBA Draft after-party, and he has invited Rachamkin to the shindig several times. Of course, in 2007, Rachamkin hoped to meet Durant and wanted him to sign a Texas jersey. But when he called the campus bookstore in Austin, he learned that replica No. 35 Texas jerseys didn't exist. Jerseys are produced before freshmen enroll, so there was no way to know for sure what number Durant was going to wear. The bookstore encouraged Rachamkin to call Nike.

He didn't really elucidate what he is upset about? Is he saying he didn't receive proper medical care for his injuries? If so, that's pretty sad.
However, if he quit the team, I'm not quite sure why he expected to be invited to the banquet. College football is big business, players have to realize that if they aren't future NFL players, they really are just fungible commodities to these universities.
Well, Simmons used to be a legitimate content producer for them. He would write several articles per week, covering all of the major sports as well as pop culture back when he was on "Page 2" on espn.com. He was essentially a mini-Grantland for them. His shtick was novel at that point and filled a gap between traditional sportswriting and pop culture writing.
As the years went on, he pretty much abandoned any interest he had in writing and worked solely toward getting on TV/Podcasts, where he was significantly less compelling and relevant than he was at the height of his powers as a writer. The articles he writes now are super-phoned in and show the same over-reliance on references he was using 10 years ago. I have no idea how instrumental he was behind the scenes as a leader with 30 for 30 and Grantland, but he isn't worth the salary and the headaches for what he provides as a TV personality, which is what he seems to want to be at this point.
Was a long time coming. Simmons hasn't been relevant as a sports pop culture/writer for years- he seems way more focused on being a TV personality. That being said, I do enjoy Grantland a lot and hope ESPN continues to support it. ESPN seems to support people who are good soldiers for the brand, and Simmons was constantly causing problems for them.
It's actually surprising OSU doesn't offer that major given the amount of E&P taking place in Southeast Ohio in the Utica Shale. That being said, I hope he is really set on this as a career path. Being 16 and thinking you know what you want to major in/do for the rest of your life isn't a sure thing. Would suck if he went to PSU/WVU solely for a program they offer only to change his major once he gets there.
Honestly, he should be thinking Texas/OK if he really wants that career path anyways.
I'm sorry, but why did people think this was going to be an exciting fight? Have any of you guys who are upset ever seen a Mayweather fight? This was textbook Mayweather. That's what he does- it's what he's always done. He puts on a defensive masterclass and throws his jab just enough to stay active. Eventually he ends up controlling the fight. He isn't a brawler, isn't a knockout artist. It's on his opponent to bring the action. Pacquiao landed maybe 3-5 punches with any venom the entire fight. He couldn't beat Mayweather's defenses.
Floyd's a shitty person but he is an absolutely flawless defensive boxer. That's why he's undefeated. That's why his fights are boring. If you're upset at anyone be upset at yourself for believing that just because this fight was hyped to the max that Floyd would for some reason turn into a brawler.
Just get a cheap Windows laptop. You can get one for like $300 on Amazon.
Time to get a new GF.
Pointless self-promotional article. We are just feeding into it by posting about it.
10/10 on the butt devastation scale.
He said it was a severe high ankle sprain. That would make the severity "severe" and would be essentially the same thing as a break. Best case is he's back for a bowl game but I don't think that happens unless we make the playoffs.
If that's the case it's basically like breaking your leg.
My despair is absolute.
Hard to get anything going on offense when you are sitting on the sidelines for 9 minutes while Arm Punt Jr. leads that garbage UM offense on a 95 yard drive.
What the hell is Jim Heacock doing these days.
It sucks but hopefully he got the treatment he needed and can move forward a wiser person. He didn't do himself any favors by lying about the first test and then getting busted during his suspension. That was dishonest. I think that the deceitfulness might have played more in to the B1G's decision than anything else.
I've been critical of him just based on the lack of "pop" his kicks seem to have. You watch Agauyo or any really excellent kicker, the ball just explodes off their foot. They are no doubters. Nuernberger hasn't shown that physical ability yet, which is what concerns me. The ball gets there, but not with authority. His kicks, including XP's, have a rather low trajectory. It's like he has to really punch it out there to get the force necessary to carry the ball, which might affect his accuracy some.
Obviously with more experience and confidence his misses will decrease. I guess I'm just more concerned with his physical ceiling.
I think it's fair to analyze players and provide criticism so long as it's not spiteful and petty.
What an embarrassment of riches when we lose our starting QB and then lose our starting H-back, and the backups end up being even better.
Can't wait to see them write the epitaph to the Hoke era next Saturday.
Anyone else concerned with Nuernberger? Just doesn't seem have to have that pop on his kicks that you seen from really elite kickers.
I hate to be a downer after that high we just experienced but that's one of my takeaways from the game going forward.
They are more into self-promotion than supporting the Buckeyes. That's what gets people upset and makes them look bad. There's a reason they wear the same customized clothing with their stupid nicknames on them, it's just wanton self-promotion. It's annoying that they get their morbidly obese faces on camera every week at the expense of fans who don't make us look like raging douches.
The Evans Scholarship requires you working 5-6 years as a caddy and requires you to show financial need. A kid with a rich dad who loves to write checks isn't carrying golf bags for 4.5 hours a day every summer weekend in 90 degree heat for 5 years. I would know.
I am 100% certain he doesn't have a "daddy" with a "checkbook" to cash his way out of the situation.
The saying about representing yourself means you have a fool for a client applies here. You do no show up to court without legal representation. You will ALWAYS get a better deal with representation. The judge is a former lawyer. You not showing up with a lawyer makes it look like you don't take the situation seriously which is 100% not the impression that you want to be giving, especially in a situation like Wunder's.
I don't think the fact that he didn't hurt anyone is relevant. There are a lot of "victimless" crimes that we nonetheless punish because its not appropriate behavior. There have been numerous instances of people running onto a sporting field with the intent to disrupt or do harm to the people on the field (Monica Seles). Just because this situation ended well doesn't really change the analysis. What if he had rushed a cop and been shot in front of 106k people? You just can't allow people to do what he did, it's dangerous and inappropriate. If he wants to play a stupid prank he can break into a sorority house and steal a composite photo like the rest of the frat people.
I don't think people are "glad" he lost his scholarship. He reaped what he sowed. He wanted to get hammered at the game and run onto the field. It was selfish and totally unacceptable behavior. 106k+ fans, many of which who were hammered, managed to watch the game without running onto the field. It's not normal or acceptable behavior to run onto the field- it is completely inappropriate, illegal, totally selfish and completely self-absorbed. You know how many students who graduate with debt would kill for the opportunity he had, to attend school completely free of cost? He had that opportunity and this is what he did with it.
As a fan it pisses me off that someone would run onto the field and disrespect both teams, the university, and themselves. It's just embarrassing. It's also not his first run-in with this: he bragged on twitter and had photos of him on the court at Madison Square Garden.

When it comes metered broadband, most consumers don't understand how its implementation could affect what it costs them to download content. So I decided to compare how much, depending on which of the nation's top ISPs' metered bandwidth plans you choose, it would cost to rent the teen vampire flick Twilight. And what did I find? That in almost all cases, the decision to download the movie will cost more than just the $3.99 rental fee — between 65 cents and $20.60 more. For more on the math and the costs under each ISP, check out the story at GigaOM.

Bruce Andrew Ferguson Douglas (born 10 February 1980) is a Scottish rugby union rugby player. He plays as a prop, and had been signed with French top 14 club Montpellier Herault from July 2008 up until March 2010 when it was confirmed that he was signed with Worcester Warriors. He has represented Scottish Schools, Scottish Districts and Scotland at Under 16, Under 18, Under 19 and Under 21 levels.
Douglas began his career at Harlequins, before moving back north to the newly formed Border Reivers in 2002.
Douglas won his first cap for Scotland in the 37–10 win against Romania in November 2002. He played in all three of Scotland's victories in the 2002 tour of North America.
In 2003, Douglas scored his first try for Scotland in the 30–22 victory over Wales. He toured South Africa with Scotland in 2003 and his work-rate earned him recognition on the 2004 tour of Australia.
After the Borders were disbanded in 2007, Douglas was signed by the Llanelli Scarlets as the Welsh region attempted to bolster their front row. After 1 season with the Scarlets Douglas, having made 16 appearances over the course of the season, opted to leave Wales for France. After two seasons for Montpellier, he joined Worcester Warriors on a two-year deal.
At the end of the 2012 season, it was announced that Douglas was going to move to Bristol Rugby Club. In February 2014, Douglas joined Newport Gwent Dragons on a loan deal until end of 2013/14 season.

Behind The Scenes Of GLEE's 'Old Dog, New Tricks' With June Squibb & More
This week's Glee was the penultimate S5 episode of the hit musical dramedy series and a new behind the scenes look at the cast and crew in action on set is now available to view.
GLEE star Chris Colfer penned the ep, titled "Old Dog, New Tricks" and took to Twitter to share his excitement about the various guest stars appearing, writing, "June Squibb, Tim Conway, and Billy Dee Williams are in the episode of Glee I wrote!!!
Additionally, Colfer recently posted a pic of himself in full Peter Pan garb alongside Squibb herself, captioning it, "It's a production of "Peter Pan" you'll never forget!
Plus, Colfer recently posted some behind the scenes videos of his preparation to take flight as Peter Pan himself, as well.
Colfer shared, "My first time in the harness for #OldDogsNewTricks! Who's excited for Tuesday???" and later wrote, "Racked up some serious frequent flyer miles during #OldDogNewTricks rehearsal."
Follow Chris Colfer on Twitter here and Instagram here.
The official description of GLEE's "Old Dog, New Tricks" is as follows: "In an episode written by series star Chris Colfer, Rachel attempts to salvage her reputation among Broadway gossipers by hiring Santana as her publicist and creating a charity for rescue animals. Meanwhile, Kurt (Colfer) nabs the lead role in a retirement home production of Peter Pan."

number of inches of snow they said we would get today:
number of inches we really got: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. blissful, evenly falling snow. so we got a couple of inches. i lost count, just enjoyed the thickened blanket, and opened my front window like snow white every couple of hours and threw handfuls of seeds to the chickadees and juncos. they were within arm's length. spoiled rotten, they are. they chatter until they are fed, then chatter another tune when they are well fed before flying back to the hollow tree.
do i live with the keebler elves: no, but thanks for asking.
number of lines and characters i transcribed this week for someone else: 6288 lines in a 65 character line that's 408720 characters of type, not words, mind you ... character count. you be the judge how many words per line as in medical transcription it's anyone's guess. i can make one word take up a whole line: esophoagogastroduodenoscopy ... all one word, or how about 3 words to take up just as much space: isoimmune neonatal thrombocytopenia. i think you get the picture, and if a picture could paint a thousand words, i think a picture would rather be painting 6288 lines or 408720 characters coming straight from their own head and through their fingers to the keyboard ... that would be a novella!
my favorite word: "exacerbation" or "exacerbated." i don't know why, but i've just always liked it, and as long as there are a million medical concerns that can take up whole lines at once, and if just one of these concerns is exacerbated in the slightest way, this exacerbation, keeps me working, job security, something new every day. all kinds of craziness.
how many of my own words did i transcribe this week: enough to feel satisfied. really, it was an excellent week in that regard. a good writing week. some old, some new, some revised and some blue. bliss.
what wicked ratio of net/surf-to-work do i apply to get through a shift/day: it's been something like for every 3-4 brutal patient logs i transcribe, which can be as little as 3 or 4 pages or as many as 12-20, i reward myself by "reading" which usually involves the web, or i'd have books open all over my desk. (wait a minute, i do have books open all over my desk!) more than one person has asked (in horror), walking in on me in my office, "how many f'ing windows do you have minimized on your desk top?!?!? the number can range anywhere from as little as 3 to 4 or up to as many as 12-20. there is some crazy math to this, which i will explain to my neurologist the next time i "stroke out."
as if!!! this is not bad enough: i listen to the radio in the background. i have found that the radio on the fridge, currently tuned to some hard-rock madtown station, nearly a room away and behind my head is more subliminal than intrusive. that way, when i leave my desk after a bout of transcribing, i don't feel like wiping the blood off my feet, or shaking the gauze and gooey bandages loose from my fingers after a particular tough morning. instead, i'm usually rolling lyrics around in my head.
number of phonecalls i overheard this week when doctors forgot to hang up the dictation line before making their next call: the big 3 ... one of them 7 minutes long, and we are "required" to listen from beginning to end of every sound file, no matter if it is a mistake, a total dial tone or whatever, because it is death to the transcriptionist who signs off a file that had something left to say.
number of things i can tell you about the number of lines and characters and/or the phone conversations: zero. if i told you more, i'd have to kill you.
do i ever multi-task: whatever would make you ask such a thing?!?!?!?
am i on crack: no siree! just happy. just thrilled to be back in my "groove" after suffering a severe case of burnout on the job. i honestly thought i couldn't listen to another bloody word, but i'm thrilled to see these same words spilling out my fingers again, while i'm listening to the radio, of course, reading a book, surfing the net, revising a poem, reading a poem, eating a poem, breathing a poem ...

Mequon — A 51-year-old Milwaukee man died in a car accident in the 10100 block of Cedarburg Road on Monday, Aug. 11.

Everyone here has been a huge help. I copied and pasted the coding to make my home page circles in color and then fade to grayscale while hovering.
Everything works fine in Chrome browser.
When using Firefox, the images are in grayscale, and then when I hover over the image circle, it disappears.
