James Langevin on Principles & Values
Democratic Representative (RI-2)
Since its inception, the DLC has championed policies from spurring private sector economic growth, fiscal discipline and community policing to work based welfare reform, expanded international trade, and national service. Throughout the 90's, innovative, New Democrat policies implemented by former DLC Chairman President Bill Clinton have helped produce the longest period of sustained economic growth in our history, the lowest unemployment in a generation, 22 million new jobs, cut the welfare rolls in half, reduced the crime rate for seven straight years, balanced the budget and streamlined the federal bureaucracy to its smallest size since the Kennedy administration.
Now, the DLC is promoting new ideas -- such as a second generation of environmental protection and new economy and technology development strategies -- that is distinctly different from traditional liberalism and conservatism to build the next generation of America's leaders.
America and the world have changed dramatically in the closing decades of the 20th century. The industrial order of the 20th century is rapidly yielding to the networked "New Economy" of the 21st century. Our political and governing systems, however, have lagged behind the rest of society in adapting to these seismic shifts. They remain stuck in the left-right debates and the top-down bureaucracies of the industrial past.
The Democratic Leadership Council, and its affiliated think tank the Progressive Policy Institute, have been catalysts for modernizing politics and government. The core principles and ideas of this "Third Way" movement [began with] Bill Clinton's Presidential campaign in 1992, Tony Blair's Labour Party in Britain in 1997, and Gerhard Shroeder's Social Democrats in Germany in 1998.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 AU scores as follows:
Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom. AU is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
Americans United is a national organization with members in all 50 states. We are headquartered in Washington, D.C., and led by the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director. AU has more than 75,000 members from all over the country. They include people from all walks of life and from various faith communities, as well as those who profess no particular faith. We are funded by donations from our members and others who support church-state separation. We do not seek, nor would we accept, government funding.
Scoring system for 2014: Ranges from 0% (opposed to separation of church & state) to 100% (supports separation of church & state).
About the AU (from their website, www.au.org):Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is a religious liberty watchdog group. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom.

The future will be dark. In the next 100, a cluster of asteroids will enter our solar system and begin to orbit the sun in the same orbit and speed as the earth, essentially acting as a celestial twin. This will block about 40 percent of the light coming from our star, plunging the earth into an ongoing, freezing winter and killing off a large number of the planets plants. It will not be possible to movie or destriy the astreroids -- the amount of power required for such a thing will be well beyond what we can produce.
As a result, we will have to learn to live on a winter planet. New plants will evolve to make use…

Between the balmy, carefree beats of the Beach Boys and the edgier introspection of the Beatles, showing less grit than Dylan and more mysticism than the Rolling Stones, Donovan Leitch, known simply as "Donovan", bounded to the top of the charts in the mid-1960s.
With iconic hits such as "Sunshine Superman," "Mellow Yellow," "Hurdy Gurdy Man," "Catch the Wind," "Atlantis," and "Season of the Witch," Donovan led more than one generation to metaphysics-as-music and music-as-mystical musings. His strong anti-war stance and embrace of Transcendental Meditation made him the epitome of peace, love and elevated consciousness.
Donovan was rock royalty, shepherding the Beatles and Hollywood illuminati to India to study the ancient traditions of awareness long before "yoga" was an everyday…

There are two kinds of medicine being practiced in the United States and mostly they are diametrically opposed. One form is of the traditional sort, used for thousands of years, that engages nature and our human relationship to healing. It treats the human being as whole, acknowledging that the entire essence of a human works together in achieving health. It supports the natural ability of a human to heal. Every part of a human cannot be disengaged from any other part. It treats the whole being. This system can be called holistic. To summarize, it works with nature by supporting the whole being's ability to heal.
The other kind of medical approach can be called allopathic or conventional. It sees…

Within 10 years, American English will be incomprehensible to the modern speaker. Not only will it be flooded with new words, borrowed from immigrant communities and online speech, but the American accent will suddenly and dramatically shift. This will be in part from a new generation, determined to distinguish itself from previous generations, who they will hold in contempt.
But some of it will come from the rise of a new international accent, adopted by young people everywhere and spread through the internet, that draws inspiration from a yet-to-be released Japanese cartoon set in an optimistic future, for which the filmmakers invented a new, futuristic accent. It will be the first example in history of an entire international generation simply…

Yes, we live in a red state. When it comes to red meat, Nebraska has more beef on the hoof than any other state save Texas. And if you're like most Americans, you're still a meat-eater. Based on what's been in the media for years now, it takes a certain amount of courage to eat red meat because "research" tells us that eating meat will kill us in a variety of ways. But what you never find out by reading all that research is that the kind of beef those researchers are talking about is the industrially produced, chemical-laced, antibiotic-ravaged and hormone-laden beef that is typical of commercial red meat. We never know what the researchers would've found out if…

The Dog Days of deep summer can make a body desperate for help. The humble watermelon can help you make it through the plight. In August, with most of Europe on a month-long holiday, here in America the temperature is soaring and even the slightest exertion brings exhaustion. Reach for watermelon, the remedy to replenish and refresh and it just might save your life by fighting off heat stroke.
There are over a thousand varieties of watermelon, all of which trace back in some way to sub-Saharan Africa. The most common varieties grown and consumed in the United States have a red, yellow or light yellow flesh inside a thick, dark green rind. They can grow as small as softballs…

Anarchism is about to have its moment. The political philosophy, defined by a rejection of the state, will become the politics of choice for an enormous number of disaffected Americans who feel they have no home in any mainstream political party.
Newspaper columnists will panic, assuming we are about to return to a time of political dynamiting, but an overwhelming majority of new anarchist groups will be peaceful. They will simply attempt to go about their lives and engage with the world without a hierarchy of politicians above them making decisions. In fact, many will be obsessed with democracy, and will insist they must be allowed to vote on any decision that affects them.
These politics will become mainstream in…

text: A fantastic result.The forwards will undoubtably get all the praise they deserve, and I to have rarely seen a left wing worked as well as that (keep the confidance Stew).In heavy scoring wins, the defense is sometimes ignored.Boltons tactics were as ever, launching long balls and getting whiners in the area (glad to see Diouf sent off...Boro fans remember him). My point is that it just goes to show. To beat a longball team such as Bolton, all you need is a CD player such as the quality of Woodgate who can lick long balls up like a fluffy kitten getting his chops around his first tin of cream.When that happens, a Championship standard side like Bolton can look at what they are. A long-ball Championship side.

Hey guys,
Can you give me some examples of the issue you are experiencing
- Can you post
- slowness
- If you notice slowness, what time do you notice it the most
Thank you for your time and patience, I really appreciate this
~ GP community support
Spcifically for me, and I think many others, this is what happens:
1) chat runs normally
2) all at once, chat runs slowly with "someone is typing" or "sending" in the bottom left and right corners of the chat box, respectively.
3) chat lags or does not send message or no new chat messages are received
4) a page refresh or click to another link within the site is tried
5) chat pops back up and a green circle appears and the chat window does not load for a minute to 5-10 minutes (my personal experience)
6) chat eventually pops back up with messages in place and sent, but not when originally sent
As far as times, this happens for me at all times of the day. There is not a specific time or amount of people or any other factor that seems to feed this behavior in the chat window. I've seen it happen with 4 people in chat as well as upwards of 20.
Hope this helps! Other please chime in if this is what you experience.

I've been using the chat almost daily since I signed up on this forum, and for the last month and a half it's been a real real pain.
Eastern time, using Firefox, just experienced a 5 minutes delay until all the messages posted by everyone during that lag pop at the same time.
A lot of users would be so grateful to you Community support team if this was resolved. We are a close community and need each other to exist on this planet.
By now Admin has replaced all the stock hoses and lines, something is wrong in the compressor choice, clearly.
SERIOUSLY. fix the chat. its getting worse.

Piper's grandma's funeral turned into a surprise wedding for her brother while their parents frowned before them and Larry's flaccid penis sat in the front pew remembering its earlier scolding. And also! Bennett went absolutely insane very briefly and it was terrifying. And also! Red and Vee are apparently acting out a years-long vendetta of misunderstanding, as both women keep assuming that if the other would only listen, they would finally hear. And also! Mendez is fucked.
"40 OZ of Furlough," unlike any other episode so far this season, rollicked and rocked like a rollercoaster. It was not a great episode, favoring velocity over dimension. But it made me kind of giddy and sick with its certainty that humans, like celestes, are capable of hitting the strangest notes.
The hour had moments I will heretofore write toward but not quite capture. Look at Piper's face here. How would you describe it?

Pray your own way
These aren't your grandma's devotions. Young adult Catholics are using non-traditional ways to get in touch with their spiritual side.
It's 11 p.m., and 31-year-old Tara Turner is wearing cotton pajamas, lying on her bed, deep in prayer. Her hands aren't folded; they're clasping a pink Game Boy.
As she digs to the center of the earth, attacking monsters en route, Turner communes with God.
"I pray as I play," she says. "When you've got your fingers and your eyes focused on this little critter on the screen, then your mind is more open to hearing God."

Wendy and her Hot Talk panel, Fox 5′s Dari Alexander, Elle.com's Julia Allison and blogger Micah Jesse debate the biggest headlines of the week. Is Governor Chris Christie too fat to be president? Is a residency in Las Vegas the right thing for Britney Spears? Below, find out what Wendy and her Hot Talk panel think.
About THE Wendy Williams SHOW
Called a "breakthrough in daytime," by The New York Times, Wendy Williams burst onto the national talk show scene in July 2009 with the launch of her daily, syndicated program, "The Wendy Williams Show," which has been renewed through the 2012-2013 television season. A mother, wife and best-selling author, Williams built a devoted cult following from her years as one of radio's most popular personalities, winning over legions of fans who couldn't wait to see the host make her television debut.
Touted by People Magazine as one of the "best shows of 2009," the critically-acclaimed series now has the distinction of being "must-see TV." In addition to her daytime television success, Wendy will compete on Season 12 of ABC's 'Dancing With The Stars' premiering March 21 and will also host GSN's new original series, 'Love Triangle' slated to premiere April 11.

I'm using the WP Voting plugin in conjunction with WP Ajax Edit Comments and they seem to be incompatible. I'm allowing voting on comments by using the WP Voting and allowing subscribers to be able to ONLY EDIT their own comments only. So this work great except that once the user edits and saves the comment, the thumbs up/down buttons don't work anymore.
Further investigating the WP Ajax Edit Comments it appears that it is extracting the existing comment content, load it to the popup textbox and re-append the edited comment to its original spot without refreshing the page. This action will remove the onclick events associated with the thumbs up/down buttons.
I tried to look at the code behind the WP Ajax Edit Comments but I'm unable to make this work. I need a solution that will atleast refreshs the page when clicking the "Save" button on the Comment Editor popup. A detailed explanation will help a lot as I'm new to WordPress and PHP.

Fabulous tasting and easy to make. Most importantly you think you are eating at Redstone! <br/>I took a cue from another reviewer and mixed about 1tbls of softened butter with couple tbls of brown sugar and sprinkled on top of bread before baking. It did give it a nice crusty top. The maple butter makes the bread complete.
OMG this is every bit as good as it is in the restaurant. I used a Calphalon nonstick pan and baked it on a pizza stone which turned out great. Next time I would lavishly butter the pan vs. nonstick spray. I do have to think Redstone sneaks in two sticks of butter. It was simply perfect with chili and Prosecco.
I made these in muffin tins instead of a pan which is great for serving. Amazing recipe!!
Very Nice results - moist crumb, delicate and crispy crust. I would definitely compare to Redstone cornbread although at Redstone there is a caramelized crust - I think they top it with brown sugar before baking. I will try this the next time. Also, the butter could have been sweeter in comparison to Redstone - I will top with sugar the next time.
Loved the corn bread, though I confess I did not make the accompanying maple butter. I doubled the recipe and used a 9 x 13 heavy enamelware casserole dish which worked a treat in lieu of a cast iron skillet. Everyone had seconds and my company asked for extra to take home. Thanks Korissacook and Redstone!
Very good cronbread. Made this for our weekly family get togeher. Everyone really liked. My little granddaughter wanted to eat the maple butter my it's self. She said it was delicious. Thanks Korissacook. Bullwinkle.

text: I haven't started giving solids yet, but I was wondering... can you give LO cream of wheat? I've read all about giving oatmeal but never heard anything about cream of wheat. I'm assuming they're close enough that it should be fine. Just wanted to hear if anyone has given it to their LO's. I'm wanting to skip the rice cereal and just don't know where to start. Also, with the oatmeal, do you grind it up so it's really fine textured before making it? I wouldn't think that baby could have the big oats.

Automated penetration testing with Nmap's new scripting engine
Nmap is rolling out a new scripting engine to automatically investigate vulnerabilities that turn up in a security scan. We'll show you how to protect your network with Nmap and NSE.
Nmap is the tool of choice for penetration testing. Experts use Nmap to search out security holes and scan for open network services. But what happens when you find a problem? Many administrators prefer to follow up the discovery with additional tests. For instance, if Nmap finds an http service, why not query to determine the web server version?

Comment: This is news? No this is here to stay and intensify!1 Recommendation
Comment: If I were a congressman, I would tell her "I might not be able to jail your tail because of your right to the 5th, but you work for me and your tail is F&%^%$in fired" for not cooperating with me on official work related business.2 Recommendations
Comment: This should probably be done, the targeting. It has been going on with churches forever. If a chuch becomes political it is threatened with losing its tax exemption, why should this not apply to politcal groups. I used to consider myself savy on politics, but I think political contributions should not be considered the same as religious charities and be tax exempt. I am totally confused about how this is a problem. If there is a problem it is that the left is not receiving the same scrutiny. Left or right, these groups do not belong in the same league as charites and should not be tax exempt, they are political not social charities, that is a scam.Recommend
Comment: In a shrill hagish tonee 'At this point what does it matter, how dare you question this Obama administration!!!!"
If Hillary Clinton can survive this to go on to become president, we as a country will have received confirmation that the country is too far gone to experience a recovery from the last few decades!
Comment: I for one would agree to let them have California and it's debt!12 Recommendations

Hands Tell Stories.
Each Is Different.
Your Donation Makes a Difference
The hands of a mother comforting her child are different from the hands of the carpenter building a house. The hands of an open heart surgeon differ from the hands of the welder.
Your hands are different too. Look at them and think of all they have learned and all they have done.
The hands in this picture are the hands of people with Down syndrome.
Look closely and you will see the crease running horizontally across the palm from the base of the thumb. Now look at your own hand and see the difference.
Physicians use this knowledge to identify Down syndrome in a newborn, like they did in 1984 with our daughter Kelly now 29 and the inspiration for Down Home Ranch. When she was first delivered they looked at her tiny hand and knew.
There are other differences that come with these special hands. Not many of them will write a great novel, steer a plane or win at chess. Few have hands that will play a concert piano or write an algorithm.
But, like most people, those with disabilities have hands that are different, but capable.
For example, people with disabilities can do many things with their hands use a mop or broom to clean, take hay to the horses, collect chicken eggs, cook a meal, work in a greenhouse or vacuum a rug. Some get stained hands picking blackberries.
Others might have calloused hands from bringing in the hay. Some have fine motor skills and their hands are great at planting the tiny seed that will become a head of lettuce.
But just about everything they do is harder for them than for us. Harder to learn. Harder to master.
That's why people with disabilities need a helping hand to have a good life.
And that's where you come in.
Down Home Ranch gets a lot of support from the government and we appreciate that support very much.
But the support is limited to paying for daily needs like housing, food, staff and the like. It doesn't include things that most of us want in our lives like taking a continuing ed class at the local college, going out for pizza and a movie with friends, or going on vacation every now and then. Government support won't buy a golf cart and teach a Rancher to drive it safely which they absolutely love doing.
Moreover, government support is declining and will probably continue to do so for years. In 2011 alone we suffered a cut of about $55,000, making it tougher to give our Ranchers the lives they deserve.
Still, even if it seems we are forever climbing the mountain, we aren't inclined to whine and complain. We go to work. We bootstrap it. We look for help from those we know care about the most vulnerable among us, our Ranchers.
We're hoping this includes you.
Because you can give our Ranchers with Down syndrome, autism and other disabilities the help they need.
Reach out. Click here and be a hand that makes a difference.
Thanking you for your support,
Jerry and Judy Horton
Wish List
We don't just need your donations (although we'll never turn them away)! We often need items that you might have and no longer need.
Down Home Ranch is a 501 (c) (3) corporation and registered as a Texas non-profit. This means that the Ranch is a charity, and as such gifts of money, goods, and services are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For more information about charitable deductions, consult your tax advisor.

Note: In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page.
ExcerptOn the face of it, contemporary educational research is significantly different in order and kind from the period after WWII when the esteemed American education psychologist, Harold H. Abelson (1948) [1], wrote his essay, "The Role of Educational Research in a Democracy." The current conditions under which educational researchers labor foreground national and global challenges are quite unlike those he outlined in that heady post war period just prior to its descent into the Cold War. Since Abelson's progressive reading of the upward arch of the first half of the Twentieth Century's educational research history, unprecedented global movements of people, money and ideas, revolutionary and expanding modes of communication, and expediential growth in knowledge production and dissemination have broadened and complicated educational research, let alone practice and policy.

Sending Mail from Hope
Daily Deadlines
First Class Presorted Mail
Most unstamped letter size envelopes that arrive in the Mail Center prior to 2:15 p.m. are sent out as First Class Presort. Presort rate is less than the First Class rate. If you have a large mailing arrive to the Mail Center after 2:15 p.m., please let us know if you would like it sent out First Class on that day or held until the following day for Presort.
Complete either a Package US Airbill or International Air Waybill (available in the Mail Center for all outgoing items). Outgoing items must be at the Mail Center by 2:00 p.m.
All outgoing items must have a completed United Parcel Shipping Record (available in the Mail Center), or have a prepaid label attached. Outgoing items must be in the Mail Center by 3:20 p.m.
Outgoing Mail
Stamped and addressed envelopes are processed by depositing in the appropriate slot below the lobby window.
Airmail should be left at the window. The country that the mail is being sent to must be clearly written on the last line of the address. For all airmail other than letters 1/4" thick or more, a customs form must be completed and three completed and signed copies attached to package. See customs forms. The USPS no longer accepts handwritten customs forms.
Metered Mail
All unstamped mail to be metered should be in trays or rubber banded together with the unsealed flaps up. Also include your account number in the upper left-hand corner of at least the top envelope. Do not allow the adhesive closures to get wet or they will stick together and not be able to be processed.
Separate and bundle mail according to the 4 slots at Campus Mail Services.
Please use rubber bands from the desk or ask for trays at the window for group mailings.
Always keep airmail (international items) seperate from domestic mail.
Inter-Campus Mail
It is much easier for you to prepare intercampus mail if no names are needed.
Non-Personalized Campus Mailings
For Students:
Obtain total numbers needed from Student Development for halls & apartments. Then, count out the numbers needed for each hall/apartment, identify, and rubber band. For cottages, often we use 2 copies per cottage X 70. Thus bundle 140 and mark it cottages. These mass mailings can be distributed quickly and efficiently by mail center staff.
For Faculty/Staff:
As the Mail Center has the individual numbers needed per mailbox, you can use the following total numbers:
General Distribution* - 219
Total Mailboxes - 70 (1 copy per department)
*General Distribution - mainly used for number of bulletin boards per departments. However, it could mean that department decided they want a copy for everyone anyway. It simply depends how they requested the numbers.
Personalized Campus Mailings

Alan Levine feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
He is recognized for expertise in the application of new technologies to education. A pioneer on the web in the 1990s and an early proponent of blogs and RSS, Alan shares his ideas and discoveries at CogDogBlog. Among his recent interests are new forms of web storytelling (including 50+ Web 2.0 Ways To Tell a Story, pechaflickr, and the StoryBox), as well as leading and teaching the open digital storytelling class, ds106.
Most recently (October 2014-March 2015) spending four months as an Open Learning Fellow at Thompson Rivers University, he typically fills time consulting with higher educational institutions on digital technologies and the affordances of the open web working with institutions such as the Digital Media Hub, Mozilla, and Virginia Commonwealth University. He has served as an instructional technology specialist at the University of Mary Washington, following leadership positions at the New Media Consortium and the Maricopa Community Colleges.
When possible, he enjoys the peace of a little cabin in Strawberry, Arizona. His interests include digital photography, bending WordPress to his whims, and randomly dipping into the infinite rivers of the internet.
He is done talking about himself... but wait, like a Ronco TV commercial, there is more.

Publisher's Description
The poetic books of the Old Testament--Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon--are often called humankind's reach toward God. The other books of the Old Testament picture God's reach toward man through the redemptive story. Yet these five books reveal the very hear of men and women struggling with monumental issues such as suffering, sin, forgiveness, joy, worship, and the passionate love between a man and woman.
C. Hassell Bullock, a noted Old Testament scholar, delves deep into the hearts of the five poetic books, offering readers helpful details such as harmeneutical considerations for each book, theological content and themes, detailed analysis of each book, and cultural perspectives.
Hebrew is a language of "intrinsic musical quality that naturally supports poetic expression," says Bullock in his introduction. That poetic expression comes from the heart of the Old Testament writers and reaches all of us exactly where we are in our own struggles and joys.
Author Bio
He is the author of An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books, Encountering the Book of Psalms, An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books, and An Introduction to the Old Testament Poetic Books.
Dr. Bullock resides in Wheaton, Illinois.

Algebraic Expressions
At a Glance - Variables
A variable is a letter, like x or y, that represents an unknown number. Another way of thinking about it is that a variable is "code" for a number. Mathematicians can spend hours at a party talking to one another in variables and no one will have the slightest clue what they're talking about.
The most common variable used is x. When we have multiple variables, we might use x, y, or even z. Really, any letter will work, as long as we're consistent with it. We tend to use x, y, and z because we feel bad for them having to hang out at the back of the alphabet all the time. This is their time to shine.

2001 Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard
Select Quantities
Item #17314
Check Availability »
- Size: 750ml
- Type: Red Wine
- Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
- Country: United States
- Region: California, Napa Valley
"This was a spectacular performance from this hallowed vineyard as well as one of Napa Valley's great historic terroirs. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals a still youthful personality and will benefit from another 5-7 years of bottle age. An opaque purple color is followed by aromas of graphite, creme de cassis, flowers and background earth as well as spice. The old eucalyptus-filled aromatics of a young Martha's Vineyard are nowhere to be found as the 2001 is dominated by fruit and earth. Full-bodied and powerful with superb integration of wood, tannin, acidity and alcohol, this large-scaled red is capable of three or more decades of cellaring. It is unquestionably a youthful classic, but it requires patience from its owners. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035." - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate #195, Jun 2011

Ratings for Dr. Rosalie Swart
Dr Swart was my mom's doctor for many years. Intelligent, compassionate, and helpful. She sees people - not dis-eases when you are in her care . She was more than welcoming when I accompanied mom for her appointments; and would speak with me regarding any questions mom or I had. More doctors of her calibre are needed in the medical profession.
Dr. Swart is so approachable and pleasant that you forget she is a doctor. Although she has always given great medical advice too! She has great people skills - almost always on time, friendly, patient and takes time with patients. She often calls me at home to follow up with results, etc. I really appreciate her as my family physician.
My ex was unable to find a family doctor and was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She was going from doctor to doctor in walk in clinics and her care plan was horrible. Dr. Swart was not accepting new patients but was approached to accept her. Dr. Swart and Dr. Wendy Wickstrom discussed the case and agreed to take on the patient. Dr. Swart and Dr. Wickstrom were compassionate, considerate, attentive and caring. They guided the care with knowledge and expertise. They were there when someone needed them most and I will be forever grateful to them both. The staff at the office were helpful, professional and all appointments were on time. My ex's care continued in hospital with daily visits and top of the line care. Thanks to all of you. You made her last few months here on earth easier as she was surrounded by your kindness and compassion!
Wonderful caring doctor, I trust her knowledge and decisions .
Did not take me seriously. I was constantly self diagnosing and i had major health problems that she didnt deal with
She is the best doctor I have ever had--always has timre for her patients and is very thoughtful and kind
This doctor is a saint. In the more than 10 years I've been seeing her, I never once felt I was given the bum's rush out the door. She is kind beyond measure and always willing to listen. She is compassionate and understanding on all issues.
Always get appointments right away, friendly staff. Doctor is very helpful and has gone out of her way to do testing when needed. Never feel rushed.
Was not happy Have to look for another doctor.Very nice lady but didn't really look for the cause of the problem.Always on time
refuses to abide by the advise of psychologists or pyschiatrists when it comes to her patients. Takes them off meds at her or their discretion be dammned of the consequences to those around them

Completed the second to last 20+ mile long run this past weekend before the NYC Marathon. This one was 22 miles. Took it nice and easy, 7:54 pace overall. The weather was very comfortable, around 48. The second half was sunny, as I had to start at 5 AM to fit the run in before some family obligations! I wore the New Balance 890 with REVLite shoes, and again, they felt great throughout. The last long run before NY is 23 miles, scheduled for 10/22, before tapering begins. Tapering will still include interval workouts, and tempo runs.
Hope your training is going just as well.
Stay healthy, stay fit! See you in NY!

The Many Hats Voice Talents Wear
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
April 19, 2006
You do literally everything where performance and production are concerned, but do your fees reflect that?
As a career voice talent working from either a professional grade home recording studio or a recording facility in a business environment, you wear many hats, some of which are more obvious than others.
Here's a list of the different roles and responsibilities that you have working on your own as a professional voice-over talent:
- You have a wonderful, unique voice. An instrument that sets you apart and a keen interest in using it to your full advantage, including, keeping yourself (and your voice) healthy. In this capacity, you are a performer.
- You are responsible for finding work for yourself, whether it be through the auditioning process, networking, or marketing efforts.
- You are a business person and oversee all of the daily operations and marketing of your voice-over business.
- You are a project manager and organize your recording and payment schedules, communicating with your clients directly to ensure success.
- You are a consultant. Many clients need extra attention and advice, something that you give on a regular basis when meeting their needs and becoming a part of their vision.
- As a performer, you need to check the script for any inaccuracies, phrasing, plan your interpretation, warm up your voice, and rehearse the script before recording.
- You are a recording engineer responsible for setting up a session and recording the voice-over.
- You are an editor. Once the voice-over has been recorded, you edit out any mistakes, unwanted breaths, and create a seamless recording.
- You are a mixing and mastering engineer. Adding sound effects, synching up music tracks, and evening out the sound levels is an art form, a specialty service by most accounts.
- You are the customer service and fulfillment department. Once the work is done, you deliver the final product to the clients specifications, including formatting files appropriately. You might also need to make revisions or re-record a script.
These services, if performed by several people at a recording studio, a talent agency, or a creative advertising firm would all have premium charges applied to them.
As a voice talent working for yourself wearing all of these hats, you might forget that the service you provide is equal to several different jobs performed by many people who are all being paid for each service they provide.
This brings us to the moment of truth... are you covering all of your costs when you record for a client?
Just because you are an entrepreneur (you own and run your own business) doesn't mean that your work is any less valuable because the client is only paying one person for the work.
Stop to think if you are being paid sufficiently and making a profit or if you are losing money, helping to fund other peoples projects.
P.S. Wow, what a response we've received from this posting! After you've had a chance to read through the comments, pop by our May 3rd post about our Job Posting Approval Guidelines.

Very true! As an industry let's ensure we protect our lively hood and remember any short term gains from price slashing are devaluing what we do.
In most countries there are National standards and rates let's be competitive in line with these rates and standards. Our customers often speak of "ongoing work", until you secure this "ongoing work" stay true to your National rates.
Customers should be educated to our true worth and understand if they pay peanuts they will get monkeys.Posted by:
Well of course all of this is true and well stated Stephanie, the thing is, "show biz" is the only industry I can think of where folk are happy to pay to be involved. student performers (and technical support - sound, LX etc) hoping for their first gig in real theatre.
For VO on the internet, anyone, and it seems many, are "having a go" ....... many are not ready for public broadcast it must be said, so the market is awash with numbers....the upshot of this insane competition is that market forces apply here, as anywhere, prices fall as we are offered a pittance for our work.
I recently saw a gig for a 2 hr finished read at $250 USD !! Sadly, 17 talents bid for the work and someone did it, we presume... $1 an hour ??!!, even illegal workers in California can hope for more (can't they ??)
As an Australian working, well, effectively, "abroad", I must vary
and adopt delivery and dialect outside my normal day to day range although living and working in US,
Europe, & UK has been useful.
Can we show and tell now ??
What do we charge for, say, a dry read of straightforward car yard blurb for local TV ? (anyone who thinks you need to "believe" in the product to sell just ain't gonna make it) One of the grand masters of British theatre said it best, and to paraphrase, ... one need not "act", but would have the world at their feet if only they could fake sincerity.
I'll start the bidding at $50 USD /min .... this is common but I fear
still well short of the real value.
Pleased to hear any thoughts and your rates.........maybe through organisation, the strength in numbers can work for, not against us !!Posted by:
Well said, and this is why I don't both auditioning for projects that pay less than what I'm willing to work for. No point in having the work and not being happy to have it.
As for Martyn's question about dry reads. My starting rate for a TV spot for a local retailer is $150 US, for a limited run.Posted by:
Hi I've read your comments. Let me remind all of us that we are artists. Our final masterpiece will hopefully make an advertiser a lot of money. I know that I have purchased over $3,000 dollars worth of studio equipment, and have yet to break even yet. I used to be a radio announcer for several years, and I am sad to say that we are not paid as artists. Our voices do not come cheap. I wonder what that $250.00/2hr. job sounded like? It's a shame that everyone wants something for nothing, and the truth is they'll usually find it. I have paid to much for my career including a degree in broadcast journalism, and equipment to charge pennies. I would hope that everyone who is a professional would not lower their prices. You get what you pay for. Thanks for letting me vent ShawnaPosted by:
Hi Martyn,
Thank you for your feedback and comments.
I'm happy to relay that the job you referred to was not posted at InteractiveVoices, but at another site.
We have set budget ranges that start at USD$100-$250 and simply refer clients to use our search engine if they can't meet our minimum requirements (both financially and ethically).
One of your fellow colleagues suggested that there be a minimum quote threshold which would prevent talent from quoting below the budget range.
How would it work?
The clients budget range is between $250-$500. When a talent submits their quote for less than $250, the system would correct the quote to display $250.
In theory, this would let talent be judged equally by their voices and enable them to receive a respectable compensation for the job.
Would this interest you, and do you believe that it would minimize undercutting?
StephaniePosted by:
Good. Let's start by raising the minimum bid clients can ask for in their ads. I've been watching the fees drift lower and lower. The trend is down. Interactive Voices is in a position to educate their clients. Otherwise, we'll wind up being asked to record whole books for $75.Posted by:
Interest me !!?? It inspires me !!
I didn't realise that you had criteria for clients, how refreshing.
You were correct in mentioning the $250/2hr job was with another site who shall remain nameless save to mention that raising the issue of fair pay on their blog went missing (!) and several requests for explaination remain unanswered.
(Oh, as an explaination of mathematical prowess, a finished 2 hrs probably takes twice that with edits and coffee etc...sitting at the desk time, you do need to factor it in.)
I stated that as the talent paid the rent, not the client, (no fees or commissions) then we really ought to have a say in standards and practice.
As a youngster, I was "burned" by the whole Agent thing that went on in Australia (and elsewhere?) in the 70's & 80's ....seems there were 2 sorts, the 10-15% commission mob who found you work and retained a fee for the service (no problem with that idea) and the vast swag of others who seemes to lure the young and impressionable, charging extortionate rates for a poor photo shoot and providing no follow up and certainly no work. Some even used the photo shoot and the power they commanded by "actually working IN the industry" to their advantage with many pretty things to exploit in the process. It was an evil time and I hope gone forever in the civilised world.
Solidarnoshc - it worked before !
My minimum bid for a :30 dry is $100.
I never bid lower and I'm sure it's cost me many jobs.
I'm also happy to see IV has some standards. The "other site" has folks practically doing jobs for free just to get jobs.
When I posted about that and also asked why we can't respond to blog posts anymore I was shut down.
Sad.Posted by:
