The Benefits of a Career in Social Work

The Benefits of a Career in Social Work
If you're looking for a career with meaning, job satisfaction and an abundance of options, consider social work. Social workers are individuals who care about people, who want to make things better, who want to relieve suffering and who want to do some good in the world. Does this sound like you? If so, request information here about our top-ranked Master of Social Work program offered online.
The rewards of being a social worker are not monetary or material. People who want to make the world a better place are generally driven by a desire to help people. Here are a few answers to four common questions about social work that may help you decide if this career is right for you.
1. Why should I select social work?
If you enjoy helping others and making a difference in their lives, social work can offer you significant personal rewards. Social workers take pride in knowing they are helping others cope with life's difficult problems and find solutions. The profession offers multiple opportunities for long-term advancement and strong growth potential. In fact, social work is one of the fastest growing careers in the nation, with a predicted growth of 25 percent between 2010 and 2020 — an average higher than all other professions. Many social work jobs also appear on the U.S. News & World Report 100 Best Jobs list, chosen for their stability, satisfaction rating, work-life balance and even salary.
2. What are the different types of jobs I can do in the social work profession?
The social work profession is committed to helping people function the best they can in their environment. This can mean providing services or therapy directly to people or working for change to improve social conditions. As a social worker, you can serve individuals, families and communities in three main fields: child, family and school; medical and public health; and mental health and substance abuse. You can be a manager, supervisor or administrator and serve at all levels of government. You can become an educator, therapist or researcher or be elected as a political leader or legislator. You can work in public agencies, private businesses, hospitals, clinics, schools, nursing homes, private practices, police departments, courts and countless other workplaces.
3. How do I become a social worker?
Most people who obtain entry-level social work positions have a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW). Those who wish to advance in their careers or provide therapy must earn a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and pass their state's licensing requirements. Degree programs involve classroom study as well as practical field experience. The bachelor's degree prepares graduates for generalist entry-level work, whereas the master's degree is for more advanced clinical practice.
4. Am I suited for a career in social work?
The most successful and fulfilled social workers are those who want to help people and make a significant difference in the lives of those in need. If you are nonjudgmental, empathetic, understanding, patient and insightful, you would likely prosper as a social worker. A background in volunteering and advocacy can also be a plus.
Social work is a fast-growing field, especially in the areas of older adults and veterans. Although demanding and stressful at times, social work also can be highly rewarding, particularly if you enjoy problem solving in a busy environment. Many social workers report feeling fulfilled from the everyday activities of their job and the people whose lives they touch. If you're looking for a career that will enable you to work with some of the most vulnerable people in your community and truly make a contribution to improving their lives, look no further.

I want to add a few questions that every individual should ask before starting a career in Social Work:
1- When and Why did you decide to become a social worker?
2- How would you describe your ability to listen to others?
3- Are you good at conveying information to others verbally?
4- Are you good at controlling your emotions?
5- If you were faced with a problem that seemed almost impossible to solve, what would you do?
As it is mentioned in the article I really like the fact that in social work you have numerous roles and jobs. The field is diverse and it's up to you to find where you fit better. Also, If you want more details about the salary according to different types of jobs I recommend the following page:

Lily Allen Releases New Album 'Sheezus'
Sheezus, Lily Allen's third studio album, is out today on Warner Bros. Records. It is the British pop singer's first album since 2009's acclaimed It's Not Me, It's You. Sheezus finds her re-teaming with her long-time collaborator Greg Kurstin (Tegan & Sara, P!nk), except for on the title track, which was produced by DJ Dahi, and "Air Balloon," which was produced by Shellback.
Critics have already weighed in on Allen's return with Cosmopolitan announcing that "Britain's top pop provocateur is back and as unapologetic as ever." U.K. music bible Q declares her "Britain's smartest pop star" and notes that Sheezus is a blend of "punchy feminist statements, wistful party jams, NSFW love letters to her husband, two-finger salutes to her critics, and moments of startling vulnerability." In its four-star review, The Times called it "The Mother of all Comebacks." Elle.com calls Allen "the pop world's Greek chorus, an important voice reporting from the front lines." New York magazine says: "It's Lily Allen, so we are ALWAYS paying attention."
To celebrate the release of Sheezus, Allen will arrive Stateside next week to make several TV appearances, including The Today Show on May 14th, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on May 14th, and Live with Kelly and Michael on May 26th. She will also perform a sold-out show at New York City's Highline Ballroom, her first live show in the U.S. in five years.
Since emerging in 2006 with her iconic debut single "Smile," Allen has gone on to sell over five million albums worldwide. Her huge success in the U.K. not only quickly spread around the world, but also helped shift the musical axis toward young female artists. Her talent as a songwriter was acknowledged in 2010 when she won three Ivor Novello Awards. That same year she announced she was taking a break from making and performing music. In 2013 Lily returned to the studio, having spent the previous three years raising her young family and establishing her own record label. At the end of 2013, Lily released two songs simultaneously - her cover of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know," which reached No. 1 in the U.K. and the download-only track "Hard Out Here," which charted in the British Top 10 that same week. Allen has been making waves with "Hard Out Here," which Entertainment Weekly called "a booming critique of pop's double standard" and "a lot of fun."
The track-listing for Sheezus is as follows:
Air Balloon
Our Time
Insincerely Yours
Take My Place
As Long As I Got You

Developing Skill
image attribution:
(This post was originally published on the now-defunct "Make & Meaning" blog.)
When I think of the word craftsmanship, it evokes thoughtfulness, confidence, a commitment to doing things well, and skill. Of those things, the only one that you definitely can't have out of the gate is skill. No one is born an expert on a given craft or trade. Even when you have years of doing something under your belt, there is still usually more to learn and explore.
For me, skill comes with:
· Time
· Practice
· Experimenting
· Learning
· Allowing yourself to make mistakes
Even though these are interconnected ideas, each has its own value ...
image attribution:
You aren't going to become skilled overnight. Allow yourself time to acquire the knowledge you need to do something well. I'm super-impatient, but I've learned that if I ignore the voice in my head that keeps repeating, "Have you figured it out yet? How about now? Really, what's taking so long?" and I just float along the path where ever it may lead, that I eventually have that moment where I can say, "Yes! Now I can do it!"
I'm making myself sound a lot more Zen than I am, what with my "paths" and "floating" and everything. The reality for me is that when I'm learning a skill, particularly a difficult one, I will work on it in spurts ... usually because I've gotten so cross-eyed with frustration that I just can't take anymore. With all the starting and stopping, giving myself time to learn is key.
Don't set an artificial time limit for yourself. It's quite possible that you might never run out of new things to learn. Your timeline might be life-long. Just think about embroidery for example. Not only are there hundreds of stitches you could master, but there are cultural motifs and techniques to explore, a mind-boggling array of tools and materials to use, and the journey to find your own unique style.
There are two wonderful aspects to practice.
First, practice is a repetition that helps you incorporate a movement or ability into yourself; make it a part of you. Athletes, actors, dancers, musicians ... all of these skilled people practice. A lot. Why not give yourself the time to practice your craft. Give yourself projects that aren't about making something, but purely about practicing.
Sometimes, in between crochet projects, I'll just grab a skein of yarn and a hook and I'll just make a big block of single crochet. Or a circle. Or whatever. I don't have any project in mind. I'm not testing things out or experimenting. I'm just enjoying the process of holding my crochet hook and making little loops. I'm creating a sense-memory of what crocheting feels like.
The second wonderful aspect of practice is that when you're practicing, it's not "for real" so there isn't the pressure of perfection. Let's say you've decided to learn wood carving. If you decide your first piece is going to be a figurine of your cat and it turns out to look more like a hedgehog-horse hybrid, it could be very discouraging because you failed to do what you set out to do.
But if you made that same other-worldly, animal-monster when you were "just practicing" you might see that you've done a great job using your V-Gouge to create a wonderful spiny body. That's the beauty of practicing. When you don't expect specific results, you're open trying new things and to seeing the good parts of what you created.
As a process-focused crafter, I'm all about the details. At each step of the project, I look at my technique and think to myself, "Is there another way to do this?" I'm not even looking for a *better* way, necessarily. I'm just exploring the width, breadth, and limits of my chosen craft. I like to call this experimenting.
When I was learning to do the foundation single crochet (fsc), I found some conflicting instructions on how to start the stitch. I decided I was going to figure out what I thought looked best. I made a series of fsc rows starting off in every different way I could think of. I ended up with eight samples. I examined each of the samples and determined which one looked most like a normal row of chains and single crochet.
The awesome thing about this experiment is that I now have a detailed understanding of fsc. I also have photos to reference if I decide to do something different with fsc where the starting stitch should have a different look. In this instance, experimenting greatly increased my knowledge of crochet and definitely added to my skill.
My first instinct is to try and figure everything out myself. But that's not always the best or easiest way to learn something. It's silly to use your energy and time mastering a skill on your own when you can more easily learn from someone else who has already blazed that path. Especially at the beginning of your skill journey, it's good to have help when you're learning.
The ability to learn a new craft has taken on epic proportions with the introduction of the internet. Before, you were limited to books and the occasional face-to-face teacher. Now you are a quick internet search away from a sea of blogs, tutorials, videos, and e-books on almost any skill imaginable. Not only that, but you can probably even find someone you can email directly to ask for help if you can't find the exact information you're looking for. Take advantage of all the resources at your disposal!
Allowing Yourself To Make Mistakes
I recently saw a job posting where the company said, "We like mistakes, and hope that you've made some big ones." At first, I thought it was just more of the cheesy baloney you find in most job postings. But the more I thought about it, the cooler I thought that was. They want you to be doing big things, always be learning, and unafraid of messing up the first (or second, or third ... ) time you try something. They understand that by taking risks, you're going to learn a whole lot more than if you just stick to what you already know. And, sometimes, your risks are going to faceplant.
Do you know what's funny? Sometimes when I do something the first time and it works, I'm actually skeptical. I'll do that thing a couple other times a different way, just so I'll fail and mess it up. Sometimes that the only way I trust that I really, truly figured something out. It's my own version of the Winston Churchill quote about Americans, "You can always count on
Alice to do the right thing – after she's tried everything else."
I get lots of emails from people asking advice about sewing and crochet projects. They aren't sure what kind of thread would work best, or which crochet stitch would look right. My answer always includes encouragement to try it out all the options and see what works. It's important to remember not to take failures personally. They are just a learning experience. And, sometimes, your failures will actually turn out to be successes of a completely different kind.
How do YOU develop skill?
I'm sure I've left out some great tips for developing skill. How do you approach becoming good at a new craft? Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
Love this post?
Share the love!

I've learned a lot by challenging myself to try something new, whether it's a technique, pattern or even an original design. And the project doesn't need to be a large one either. It's also important to keep some sort of reference to your first attempts (actual examples or photographs) so that you can revisit them at a later date. You may not think that you've improved but when you compare current work with these earlier attempts you'll see just how far you've come. :-)

Lemon Tree Tami ... Keeping examples of your first attempts is a great idea! You're right that sometimes you don't see how far you've come. Thanks for taking the time to comment. :)

Video: New footage of intense Dorner firefight
Video from the shootout shows police surround the cabin and fire repeatedly
By Erik Ortiz
New York Daily News
BIG BEAR, Calif. — Deputies fired a barrage of bullets as they waged a final standoff with fugitive Christopher Dorner on Tuesday — moments before his hideout was engulfed in flames. Part of the dramatic gun battle was recorded by CBS News, and authorities are seen aiming at a cabin in Southern California's San Bernardino mountains where Dorner was barricaded.
Officials had asked media not to air live footage of the assault in case Dorner had access to a TV. Eventually, an armored vehicle was used to rip down the cabin's walls, police later said. A single gunshot was heard before a fire broke out — but it wasn't clear how the blaze started.
The San Bernardino Sheriff's Department confirmed charred human remains were found inside the torched structure, but have yet to identify the body as Dorner's. A driver's license with his name was also found among the rubble, The Associated Press reported Wednesday.

Optimal Control Models in Finance
A New Computational Approach
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe determination of optimal financing and investment strategies (optimal capital structure or optimal mix of funds, optimal portfolio choice, etc.) for corporations and the economy are important for efficient allocation of resources in the economy. Optimal control methods have useful applications to these areas in finance - some optimization problems in finance include optimal control, involving a dynamic system with switching times in the form of bang-bang control. Optimal control models for corporate finance and the economy are presented in this book and the analytical and computational results of these models are also reported. Such computational approaches to the study of optimal corporate financing are not well known in the existing literature. This book develops a new computational method where switching times are considered as variables in the optimal dynamic financial model represented by a second order differential equation. A new computer program named CSTVA (Computer Program for the Switching Time Variables Algorithm), which can compute bang-bang optimal financial models with switching time, is also developed. Optimal financing implications of the model results in the form of optimal switching times for changes in financing policies and the optimal financial policies are analyzed.

At end of life, it may be better than standard oxygen therapy, study suggests
TUESDAY, May 20 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that a mechanical ventilator can ease suffering and help lung cancer patients avoid sedation at the end of life.
A large percentage of these patients didn't want to have anything to do with a ventilator, which requires them to wear an oxygen mask. But those who were willing to try the treatment needed less morphine and had fewer symptoms in their final hours.
The findings could change the way doctors treat lung cancer patients in the end stages of their disease, said study author Dr. Stefano Nava, chief of the respiratory critical care unit at Istituto Scientifico di Pavia in Italy.
According to Nava, the ventilator approach could "provide some relief to patients and a better quality of dying."
At issue are lung cancer patients who typically only have a matter of hours or days to live. They often suffer from pain and difficulty breathing.
One approach is to help the patients breathe with the use of oxygen that reaches their lungs through nasal tubes. This approach, known as standard oxygen therapy, is used by many patients with lung conditions.
Another approach relies on mechanical ventilators, which use pressure to push oxygen into the lungs. The ventilators require the use of a face mask.
According to Nava, no studies have compared the two approaches in end-stage lung cancer patients.
Nava and his colleagues in Italy and Spain randomly assigned 92 patients to either of the two treatments. Eighteen other patients declined to accept the ventilator treatment after trying out the masks; another five declined after trying the standard oxygen treatment.
The findings were scheduled to be released Tuesday at the American Thoracic Society's International Conference, in Toronto.
The researchers found the ventilator tre

Care Changes Lives
Care is a valuable and vital resource; it revitalizes and acts as a soothing tonic for our nervous system. Caring is a powerful motivator; it inspires us and gently revitalizes us. Genuine care comes from the depth of our being, the core of our heart. Care is regenerative for both the sender and receiver. Increasing genuine care can change our lives and perhaps the world.
Through my journey of learning to nourish my heart, I came to realize how important care is. It may seem obvious that nourishing and caring go together, but for many of us, we forget that caring is a feeling, an attitude, a quality into which we put our heart. Caring is a choice; and I find that the more I choose to feel care, the more nourished I become.
I'd like to share with you some caring facts to highlight how important caring for others is to our health and well-being. We will also be having a month-long Facebook contest to honor the caring and dedication of nonprofit organizations as part of our HeartMath for Communities Project.
Five Caring Facts:
Caring interacts with the heart literally: Institute of HeartMath (IHM) research found that our physical heart plays a dynamic role in generating positive emotions and creating feelings of elation during acts of caring and altruism. J. Andrew Armour, a leading neurocardiologist and member of IHM's Scientific Advisory Board, found that the heart contains cells that synthesize and release the so-called feel-good hormones: dopamine and norepinephrine.
Emotions give meaning to our lives. The power of emotion can enrich our lives beyond measure meaning, color, texture. Understanding the power of your emotions is vital for having a fulfilling, healthy life. Click to receive this Free e-booklet, The Power of Emotion.

Australia's recently elected Rudd government is to cancel the long-troubled Kaman SH-2G(A) Super Seasprite naval helicopter programme.
"After careful consideration of all the issues involved, the government has decided that it intends to cancel the project," defence minister Joel Fitzgibbon says in a statement issued on 5 March.
"Discussions will be commenced immediately with the contrator in relation to the legal and financial arrangements to facilitate [the cancellation]," he says.
In the interim, the Royal Australian Navy will focus on improving the availability of its Sikorsky S-70B Seahawks while the government investigates their replacement in its defence White Paper deliberations.
Kaman says it has been notified by the Australian goverment that it wants to negotiate to end the Seasprite programe and the company expects "to arrive at a mutually agreeable conclusion to the Seasprite programme".
Australia ordered 11 Super Seasprites – upgraded ex-US Navy SH-2Fs – in 1997, with deliveries planned to begin in 2001. But ongoing problems with the helicopter's avionics have delayed full functionality to 2010-11.
The previous government reviewed the Seasprite programme in 2007, but opted to continue amid concerns over possible legal action by Kaman, lack of a suitable replacement and sunk costs of A$1 billion ($920 million).

1023: Late-Night PBS
[edit] Explanation
| This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: Clean up title text explanation, remove redundant or unhelpful information from subsections (especially additional details), check for grammar and spelling
If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks.
This comic is a joke about how some things are not how you remember them due to as a kid, due to complex subtext or naivety, taken to a humorous extreme, with a specific reference to television programs for children.
PBS is a television station known for high brow and educational programming, it is often an outlet for BBC programming in the US. The show "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego" was a lighthearted educational game show that was canceled in the 90's. In the show players follow geography based clues to find out where a master criminal, Carmen Sandiego, is going, and catch her. After catching or failing to catch Carmen Sandiego the chef would congratulate or encourage you. Rockapella was an a cappella band featured on the show that gave clues, punctuated the show with humor, and closed the show.
Megan recounts the story about her surprise as to the nature of programming on late night PBS to Cueball. She claims to have fallen asleep after watching Downton Abbey and woken up to see that Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego is still making new episodes, but is significantly darker then she remembers it. The host has grown older, he would be 50 when the comic was written, and developed a drinking problem, the locations the child contestants visit are traumatizing, and the children are clearly freaked out. In the end they find Carmen Sandiego hiding behind a Dutch bookcase, an allusion to "The Diary of Anne Frank", thus implying that the kids have been working as investigators trying to find the locations of Jews for the Nazis. The Chief admonishes the children for their actions and Rockapella glares at the children disapprovingly until the children break down into tears.
After completing her story Cueball's remarks that he did not remember the show being that dark, in response to Cueball's statement Megan replies that as kids neither of them could probably understand on the darker subtext of the show. It is true that some programs intended for children often have subtle themes for adults who may be watching the show with their children that the children do not usually remember or pick up on. The joke being that although children viewers may not be able to pick up on everything, there is no way that a child would not notice if a show was as dark as previously described.
Bob Ross had a painting show on PBS and was known to describe components of his painting as "Happy little" objects. Ambien a prescription sleep aid, can cause are vivid dreams and hallucinations. Thus, the joke in the title text is that Randall/Megan isn't sure if this is hallucinating from taking Ambien (thus giving an alternate explanation for the changes to the programming), or if something horrible has happened because PBS's security staff isn't large enough.
[edit] Locations visited
Mogadishu is a battle-torn city in Somalia, where there was the aptly named "Battle of Mogadishu" in 1993, which would coincide with the air dates of "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego" game show.
The Killing Fields are a number of sites in Cambodia where large numbers of people were killed and buried by the Khmer Rouge regime, during its rule of the country from 1975 to 1979, immediately after the end of the Cambodian Civil War (1970-1975).
The reference to "A Bookshelf in a Dutch Apartment" is a reference to Anne Frank, who was a Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis in a Secret Annex hidden behind a bookshelf in an apartment in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She wrote the famous diary, Diary of Anne Frank.
[edit] Carmen Sandiego
"Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego" was a computer game series in the mid-80s. Carmen Sandiego was a mysterious character that you tracked around the globe, attempting to find clues to find out where she was headed to next. The point of the series was to learn about geography and the world while having fun. The series moved to a game-show TV series in the early 1990s from 1991 to 1995. The role of The Chief was played by Lynne Thigpen, a role she played in all 3 computer games (Where in the USA, Where in the World, and Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego) and both TV shows (Where in Time and Where in the World). She was responsible for telling the detectives (sleuths) what had been stolen, which of Carmen's thieves was suspected of stealing it, and some relevant information about their last whereabouts (effectively, telling the sleuths what their mission was). Whenever the detectives would catch a thief (or Carmen), she would appear and congratulate them or console them if Carmen got away.
[edit] TV Show
The host of the TV show was Greg Lee. When the show originally aired, Greg was in his late 20s/early 30s. His job was to ask the questions of the contestants and tell them which flags to plant on the map in the final round, as well as engage in silly situations with The Chief and Rockapella to keep the show moving and provide clues.
The show was split into 3 rounds. In the first round, there were 3 sleuths. Each question they got right gave them additional points. The top 2 scoring sleuths moved onto the next round, where they had to play a game (like the game Memory) where they had to find the thief, warrant, and loot in the correct order. Whichever sleuth did so captured the thief, saved the loot, and moved onto the next round, where they had a chance to catch Carmen Sandiego herself. Success was not always guaranteed in this round, as contestants had to plant flags correct on 7 different countries in a continent within a very short time period. If the sleuth was successfully able to do this, they captured Carmen and won the grand prize (a trip to a place of their choosing in the continental US). If not, Carmen would escape and the sleuth would win a lesser prize (like a computer).
[edit] Rockapella
Rockapella was the 'A cappella' group (keeping up the tradition of punny names for a cappella groups) which sang the theme song to "Where in The World Is Carmen Sandiego." 'A cappella' is a loan word from Italian meaning "in the manner of the Church" hearkening back to Gregorian chant; in the 19th century the term evolved to mean any vocalization without accompaniment. In the TV version of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Rockapella also acted as a "house band" of sorts, singing songs while the contestants transitioned between events, providing clues, playing pranks on Greg Lee, etc. At the end of each show, Greg Lee and the episode's winning contestant would shout "Do it, Rockapella!" at which point the band would sing the shows theme song.
[edit] Additional Details
One continuity issue in this comic is that the places they have to visit in this episode seem to require traveling to different periods in time (1993, 1975-1979, 1940s, respectively). Episodes of Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego usually did not deal with this — this is what the TV show Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego (the successor to Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, albeit with a different house band and a different host) did.
PBS stands for Public Broadcasting Service and is an American TV broadcaster that is predominantly supported by the viewers themselves through pledge drives. It often runs (and sometimes co-produces) acclaimed British costume dramas, including the mentioned Downton Abbey.
This comic is not the first time a host of one of the Carmen Sandiego TV shows was mocked and shown as drinking on the job; Robot Chicken showed a similar scenario with the host of Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego in 2010 (link — the voice of the host in the skit is the voice of the actual host from Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego).
SpongeBob SquarePants and The Fairly OddParents are other examples of shows that have hidden meanings in things for the adults watching the show with their children.
Bob Ross was a famous painter with a painting show on PBS called "The Joy of Painting" that ran for 12 years.
Ambien, also known as Zoldipem, is a prescription medication used for the treatment of insomnia, as well as some brain disorders.

- Megan: Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego was back on, except the host hadn't aged well and he'd clearly been drinking.
- Megan: Every question took them to some horrible place like Mogadishu or the Cambodian killing fields.
- [Now it shows a bookshelf revealing a hidden room.]
- Megan: The kids were freaked out, but they kept playing. Eventually they were told they'd found Carmen Sandiego hiding behind a bookshelf in a Dutch apartment.
- Megan: The Chief appeared and asked "Are you proud of what you've become?"
- Megan: Then Rockapella walked out and just glared at the kids until they started crying.
- Cueball: I, uh, don't remember the old show being that dark.
- Megan: Maybe we were too young to pick up on it.

The show is Downton Abbey, not Downtown Abbey. I feel like if I actually edit it the strip Randall made about that very annoyance will win. 18.104.22.168 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)So, it has come to this. 22.214.171.124 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I'm not gonna say anything about the story, etc. because I don't want to spoil it for anybody. I know we've all been dying to watch it. (Although, I do have to say some people may want to know the storyline at least a little because I have a feeling it'll be really difficult for a lot of overseas fans to follow it... 9_9;)
So, let me just say one thing because I've just watched the actual play as well as the bonus footage, and my impressions will never be fresher than they are right now.
No matter what, after you see both the play and the bonus DVD, you will fall in love with GACKT all over again, I guarantee it.
It made me realize, once again, what makes me keep on following him.
Can't wait for you all to get your copies, too!!! >_<

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller announced Friday he will not seek a sixth term, throwing the Democrat's long-held seat in jeopardy in 2014.
Reaction to Sen. Jay Rockefeller's retirement
Rockefeller was a state legislator, secretary of state and governor before he became a U.S. senator. He said the peak moment of his career may have been threatening to keep the Senate in session over Christmas break if they didn't pass the 1992 Coal Act. He also co-sponsored legislation creating the state-level Children's Health Insurance Program, and helped persuade the Veterans Affairs Department to revisit disability claims arising from what has become known as "Gulf War Illness."
Here is reaction to Rockefeller's retirement:
— "Jay Rockefeller first arrived in West Virginia as a young volunteer, eager to improve the lives of working families. And for more than four decades, he has continued to fight tirelessly on their behalf," President Barack Obama said. "Michelle and I join the people of West Virginia in thanking Senator Rockefeller for a lifetime of service, and I look forward to continuing to work with him over the next two years."
— "He told us, 'My name is Rockefeller, but that will not pay our bills,'" U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., recalled Rockefeller saying at his first gubernatorial inauguration. "He gave us more than his family name. He pledged his heart, mind and strength to us that day. For almost half a century, Sen. Rockefeller's service to his state and its families has never wavered from that commitment."
— "Sen. Rockefeller has been one of the best friends our union has ever had," United Mine Workers of America International President Cecil E. Roberts said. "In every struggle — whether promoting mine safety, ensuring continued support for our retirees' health care and pensions through the Coal Act or fighting for workplace justice, he has been a constant and untiring friend to coal miners and all working people."
— "Clearly West Virginia will reflect back on it and be proud of his service here and all of the positions that he's held," said West Virginia Coal Association President Bill Raney, whose group has been critical of Rockefeller. "There's been a wide disparity of opinion about some of the issues, but this isn't a time to reflect on those. I think the time is (for) everybody be positive and complimentary as we go forward and just remember all the good things that he has done."
— "The nation and West Virginia are better places today thanks to Jay's distinguished and selfless public service," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said. "Jay was a tireless and successful advocate for our nation's children, and he was a leader in expanding their access to health care. Millions of families today are better off because of Jay's tireless work on programs such as the Children's Health Insurance Program and Medicaid."

The TiVo Roamio is hands-down the best DVR for recording over-the-air TV, but its excellence comes at a great cost.
The TiVo Mini is an easy way to give another TV in your home access to your TiVo DVR, live TV, and streaming services. But if you're not in a hurry, you may want to wait till more features and services arrive.
TiVo Roamio OTA is an excellent DVR, but its monthly fee structure makes it too expensive for people cutting the cable cord. The standard TiVo Roamio is a better choice overall for cord cutters.
For TiVo Premiere owners with iOS devices, the TiVo Stream is a cool addition to your AV setup and mobile life.
If you're willing to pay the premium price, TiVo's do-it-all Roamio is the best cable DVR yet and an able whole-home TV solution.
The Premiere 4 has all the features of the XL4, but with a quarter of its storage space.
The TiVo Premiere Elite might be a luxury, but it's definitely a luxury worth paying for.

In The Brothers Grim: The Films of Ethan and Joel Coen, Erica Rowell unmasks the filmmakers as prankster mythmakers exploiting and subverting universal storytelling modes to further what seems to be their artistic agenda: to elicit laughs. Often employing satire and allegory, the Coens' movies hold a mirror up to American society, allowing viewers to both chuckle and gasp at its absurdities, hypocrisies, and foibles. From business partnerships (Blood Simple, The Ladykillers) to marriage (Intolerable Cruelty) to friendship and ethics (Miller's Crossing), the breakdown of relationships are a common focus in their work. Often the Coens put broken social institutions in their cinematic crosshairs, exposing cracks in ineffective penal systems (Raising Arizona; O Brother, Where Art Thou?), unjust justice systems (The Man Who Wasn't There), a crooked corporate America (The Hudsucker Proxy), unnecessary wars (The Big Lebowski), a tyrannical Hollywood (Barton Fink), and the unbridled and fatuous pursuit of the American dream (Fargo). While audiences may be excused for missing the duo's social commentary, the depth and breadth of the brothers' films bespeak an intelligence and cultural acuity that is rich, highly topical, and hard to pigeonhole.
The Brothers Grim examines the inner workings of the Coens' body of work and exposes its roots and themes. Each chapter discusses a Coen brothers movie in terms of its primary themes, social and political contexts, narrative techniques, and influences and relationships to their other films and, more broadly, to cinema. Rowell also examines the Coens' referential modus operandi that retreads cinema, literature, history, philosophy, and art to amplify their films' themes. This comprehensive guide -- enhanced by 50 photographs -- is for anyone interested in the Coens' unique brand of cinema.

Flying Turtle PhotographyRead MoreFlying Turtle Photography captures indelible images of kids and families during intimate snapfests. Photographer Melissa Gilbert brings a nuanced touch to maternity and newborn sessions, snatching honest expressions from tykes and proud parents. Flying Turtle's 2,000-square-foot boutique studio illuminates compositions with both industry and natural light as Melissa puts her subjects at ease in front of a multitude of backgrounds. Alternatively, scenic outdoor spots set a natural backdrop for wedding photos, baby portraits, and Arbor Day publicity fliers, all of which can be printed by the studio.23 West 41st StreetSand Springs, OK US
AdoraLee Boudoir StudioRead MoreLacy Hammack made her first forays into boudoir photography while living with her Marine Corps husband in the midst of the Mojave Desert. While she was first armed only with the skills of a yearbook photographer, she taught herself the ins and outs of professional studio lighting and photo editing, moving away from what she calls her "Photoshopographer" days to perfect a lighter touch that softly airbrushes imperfections while highlighting natural beauty. Lacy's extensive experimentation with lighting and posing has blossomed into a well-honed pin-up style that she and her all-female staff practice at AdoraLee Boudior Studio's two locations. After passing through AdoraLee's storefront lingerie store (at the Norman location only), clients are treated to extensive coaching on how to get the most from their boudoir shoot. Pre-session pointers help women choose their ensembles; during the session, music and chatter sets the air at ease while photogs guide their subjects into every pose, snapping alluring eye-level shots in the makeup room or sensual high angle shots over the studio's fluffy bed. Four additional set options—including red damask or black velvet backdrops—inspire photographers as they expertly blend studio lighting with a wide variety of poses to flatter any body type. Through high-contrast color shots and classic black-and-white prints, AdoraLee photographers strive to make every woman—whether curvy, pregnant, postpartum, or mid-werewolf transformation—into a sensual siren.202 South Cedar StreetOwasso, OK US

JCR PhotographyRead MoreYou might say JC has superpowers. He's able to turn into a shadow at someone's wedding, snapping away without notice as newlyweds cut the cake and hit the dance-floor. During high-school graduations and family reunions, his eyes become those of an eagle as he arranges loved ones in a fashion that's both communal and visually pleasing. And when not photographing people, JC clicks away at extreme weather, from storms to tornados of Mountain Dew.11515 East 112th Place NorthOwasso, OK US
Montag PhotographyRead MoreWell-versed in imaginative and stylized photographic techniques, the staff at Montag Photography will wisen up any novice shutterbug with an in-depth tutorial. Students should bring their single-lens reflex (SLR) camera to the three-hour lesson, which will delve into the four valuable pillars of photography: lighting, SLR basics, Matthew McConaughey's abs, and framing. After teaching the use of reflectors and white balance, the pros at Montag Photography will tutor kodachrome neophytes in the basic SLR methods, such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO adjustment. Finally, pupils will get the hang of professional framing by taking notes on the rule of thirds, cropping approaches, shooting for print ratios, and eliminating shady Sesame Street characters in the backgrounds of photos. At the end of class, students will have time to query the house photographers for any artistic and technical advice that will enhance their enjoyment of the aesthetically fulfilling hobby.2208 N Yellowood AveBroken Arrow, OK US

While the Los Angeles Kings are in the Western Conference playoff picture despite their offensive struggles, the New York Islanders are near the bottom of the East because of theirs. Both the Kings and the Islanders look to bounce back from defeats when two of the league's lowest-scoring teams meet Saturday night on Long Island. Los Angeles (29-19-10) sits in seventh place in the West despite an NHL-low 119 goals, scoring one or none in six of the last 10 games. The Kings don't have one player among the league's top 50 goal scorers and have been held to two or fewer 39 times this season, going 11-19-9. They are 15-0-1 when scoring at least three times. Los Angeles has totaled five goals while going 1-3-0 thus far on a six-game road trip, including Thursday's 3-1 loss to Florida. "It's more of the same for us," said captain Dustin Brown, who assisted on Drew Doughty's goal but failed to score for a seventh straight game. "We've got to find ways to score more goals." The same go...

While it doesn't look like Drew will be the opening day SS for the Mets, it appears he won't be for the Tigers either.
Tigers, Orioles Swap Lombardozzi For Alex Gonzalez
The veteran Gonzalez will most likely be the opening day SS and provide ample protection against Jose Iglesias being out longer than expected.
I am not sure at this point how much bearing this even has on the Mets or their future decisions but I can't help but wonder where the hell Drew will wind up? Will this finally be the day that Boras gets called out for his create an imaginary market and wait it out strategy?
In what appears to be more of a procedural move than anything else, Kyle Farnsworth was released only to be re-signed shortly. By releasing Farnsworth and then re-signing him the Mets saved 100K and also get to keep him in the organization for depth at AAA. Perhaps, Kyle likes the thoughts of the nightlife in Vegas.
9:40am: "Farnsworth has not returned to the Mets and is exploring his options," agent Barry Meister tells Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. "No agreement was or has been reached," adds the agent.

Wash ¾ cup of oysters in cold water and then drain.
Sprinkle two pinches of salt on the oysters and mix gently. Set it aside while you are preparing the other ingredients.
Mince 2 Tbsp worth of green onion and ½ Tbsp worth of red hot pepper.
Combine one large egg, the chopped vegetables, and 2 pinches of salt in a small mixing bowl.
Coat the salted oysters with ¼ cup of flour.
Dip the floured oysters into the egg mixture.
Fry the oyster in a heated and generously oiled pan on medium-high.
When both sides of the jeon become golden brown, it is done.
