Robert Downey Jr. talks about his renewed commitment to clean living, career comebacks and love.
Though he's widely considered one of the best actors of his generation, Robert Downey Jr. had become better known for his off-screen struggles with sobriety, most recently spending a year in rehab after a stint in prison. But at 38, the actor says he is enjoying both the clean life and a career comeback with two new films - his first in three years.
He plays mystery writer afflicted with a horrific case of psoriasis and other personal demons in The Singing Detective and a psychiatrist in the supernatural thriller Gothika. Making the films not only brought new focus to his career but new love as well: earlier this month, Downey announced his engagement to film producer Susan Levin, whom he met on the set of Gothika.
Newsweek's Jennifer Barrett spoke by phone with the Academy-award nominated actor as he enjoyed two of his only remaining vices, coffee and nicotine. He spoke candidly about his new career projects, his new outlook on life and his new fiancée.
The Singing Detective was your first film after leaving prison. I understand Mel Gibson sought you out for the lead role.
I guess, as much as he needs to seek me out. I live up the road.
You're neighbors?
Well, he's in the very nice area and I'm, well, up the road. [Laughs]
But he hired you despite concerns over the costs of insuring you.
He knew me better than people who might have been a little wary. To him, it wasn't that much of a long shot because he was seeing me all the time. You can always tell a lot more by seeing someone than you can from hearing about them. That's been my experience. Everyone talks a good game, but let me have a good look at him or her. Nowadays, for better or for worse, I've become kind of the go-to guy for people who wonder, do you think he or she is messed up?
What do you say to that?
I say that's not really my job but, um, if you think they're in trouble, I'll give you an honest opinion. In the LAPD, they have something called a DRE - a drug recognition expert... I like to think I'm Dr. DRE.
Funny. That's probably a role you never figured you'd be playing.
Yeah. And it's not something I'm really interested in employing but sometimes, if my mood is right, I'll call 'em as I see 'em.
You could get people in trouble doing that.
Well, you know, by the time you're loaded someplace you're not supposed to be loaded, you're already in trouble.
Good point. Let's get back to the movie. Was playing the role in The Singing Detective cathartic? Here's someone who has hit bottom and is struggling to overcome his personal demons.
Yes, and I've probably been asked that question...
A thousand times, right?
Hmm, it may be closer to 35,000 now. [Laughs] No, but what's interesting is, it's as if you and I kept asking each other the same questions at different points in our lives. The answers keep changing. Now, I have to say that what's more cathartic than even having done the role is watching the audience respond.
The Singing Detective really captures something that people either get or they don't get. But even if people don't get it - or don't even like it - they can't say that it didn't have them talking or thinking afterward.
Do you think it makes some audience members uncomfortable?
Yeah, but what good is therapy if you're not wildly uncomfortable before your little ah-ha's and epiphanies? I call it getting your money's worth.
In Gothika, you actually play a psychiatrist.
I have to say my research was complete before I started but I noticed that it's an occupation that is of increasing interest to me. It's an immensely underrated venture... It was a trip.
You're breaking up a little.
I'm sorry, there's a bit of construction going on here at Equinox.
You're calling me from the gym?
No, don't worry. I got off the treadmill, and I toweled my hair and, now I'm sitting here in this fairly fabulous couch. You know the couches with kind of cutout pieces in back of them that look like backrests? Very 21st century and barely comfortable in any way, shape or form. But it looks really nice - earth tones.
I've seen a lot of furniture like that. Looks nice but is completely dysfunctional.
Yes! That would be the perfect segue way into some question.
Well... since you brought it up. How long have you been sober now?
I can't be specific. There is a tradition that we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio or film.
But it has been a little while.
It's been ages. I have to say that it's really cool at this point. Last night was the Gothika premiere here and I was out with my gal and her parents and such-and-such and all my friends. It was a beautiful situation. People weren't ugly drunk but it was really happy. My publicist who I have never really seen even have a beer was so happy and relieved that this whole run of PR has gone over. And he even cracked a Heineken last night and I was like, yeah! For them it's Mazel Tov. For me it's Molotov. [Laughing]
Did you just come up with that off the top of your head?
That's pretty good, isn't it? [Laughing again] Ahh, it's nice to be able to crack yourself up before breakfast.
Heck, I'm impressed that it's barely 10 a.m. there and you've already worked out.
[Sound of drilling gets louder] You know. You actually seem really sweet and funny and smart...
You flatter me.
So I'm not going to subject you to the sounds of this pneumatic drill. I'm going to walk out of this club right now... [Moments later:] Hello, dear. Isn't that better? I'm actually outside. And I'm going to have a cigarette to bridge the gap before going to the Coffee Bean for an alarming amount of caffeine. The endorphins aren't enough sometimes. Where were we?
You were talking about the premiere last night and being with your 'gal', Susan Levin?
Le-veen, actually.
Oh, sorry.
Don't worry about it. It took me three months to pronounce it correctly. I swear to God. She was being so nice about it, too.
You met on the set of Gothika?
I guess I had an idea of who she was before because she's probably considered to be somewhat young for her position. But I didn't really know her. So she was there producing the movie and... I had recently sworn off the idea of romantic love as being anything other than a fantasist's idea of torture.
Aww. But you know that's when it always happens.
I guess so because I had never been so firm in my resolve about anything, or so I thought. We went to one of those everyone-goes-out dinners and I engaged her in verbal combat as to the differences and perdurability between optimists and pessimists. I heard something and made it my own a little bit and developed a theory, which is always a pretty terrible idea. Mine was: the optimist believes the future is uncertain. The pessimist is always right but derives no satisfaction from it. So it's our duty to be optimists because then we can wake up and brush our teeth and give a shit. But - and here's my real closer - I said, clearly the pessimist has more information.
This is the position you were defending to her on your first night out?
This is my way of flirting. She looked across the table at me, held my gaze for about 15 seconds, and said, "You know, I'd say I pity you but I actually think you're kind of engaging and smart, nice and funny... and, yeah, so, anyway, we've got a big scene tomorrow and I wonder if you got the pink pages?" [Laughs] So there was my entrée into romantic love.
Well, hey, it worked.
It's kind of like discovering penicillin by accident.
Some of the best things in life were discovered by accident.
[Laughs] Certainly the best things I've ever done.
Speaking of that, I hear you have a new tattoo. Was this intentional?
Yeah, SUZY Q.
Why not 'Susan'?
You know, for some reason, SUSAN seemed kind of jailhouse to me. Not that SUZY Q is any less, uh, jailhouse. I'm sorry, more than anything else I am recovering from, I am recovering from a traumatized logic.
Did you tell her you were getting it?
No. A couple days before, she'd said, "Oh, my right shoulder kinda hurts" and so I'd kind of loosened it up and did some pressure points. So when I got the tattoo, I said, "Oh my left shoulder really hurts," and.. she said, "Wouldn't it be funny if you tear off your shirt and you've got my name emblazoned on your shoulder."
Ooh, she's good.
I think she was pleased. It's true in the start-up phase, there's a lot of subintentional and unconscious needs for more safety and comfort and establishing in ritualistic ways that you can trust each other and there's the promise of longevity and you're not all talk. You know what I mean? It's kind of a big deal... I think the engagement ring helped. too.
Congratulations. When did you get engaged?
Eleven fifty-nine p.m., Nov. 6, 2003. It was one minute before her 30th birthday was over. I figured I kind of wanted to get her while she was still in her 20s. [Laughs]
Ouch. Was she surprised?
You're just full of surprises.
I have always been full of surprises, but these are of a digestible variety.
You've probably surprised some people with your new commitment to being clean. Was it hard to go through all that publicly?
For the most part, you kind of hang up your personal development, you trade that in with the inundation of celebrity. All of a sudden you are frozen in a moment of transition from a moment of relative obscurity to public awareness... spending an undue amount of energy trying to create an image that is impossible to actually step into and enjoy. Because now there's a split between who you were and who you are and, of course, who you think you are. But I just think there is nothing more toxically comedic to me than some big actress or rock star talking about how victimized they are by the populace when, of course, they signed up and showed up for every rehearsal and when they got cast they said, "What a boon!"
You sing, too. I remember your duet with Sting on Ally McBeal and, obviously, you sing in The Singing Detective. When did you start singing?
You remember the movie Camp about kids at Stagedoor Manor (a performing-arts training center and summer camp specializing in theater arts)? I was at Stagedoor Manor. I did all that stuff... That was the real origins. About 21 years ago, these little $40 Casio keyboards came out, very much in my budget. My means grew and so did my collection. I always had a serious respect for composition and music. I have just been exposed to an amazing array of talented musicians and songwriters. It's in my sphere of activity and has been since I was 17.
Are you recording anything now?
Yeah, I have a great musical that is finally starting to happen. I am going to meet my (producing) partner Jonathan Elias today.
I understand you guys are working on an adaptation of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, the writer and singer Dito Montiel's memoir of growing up in New York in the 1980s. Is this the musical you're talking about?
This will be our premiere project. But essentially this is a guy I've know for about 15 years or so. I knew him because I used to go to his readings and I like his band, "Gutter Boy". I wasn't the only one. There was Allen Ginsburg and Andy Warhol back in the day. So then all this time later it turns out he is working for Jonathan Elias's music-production company and I said, dude, I remember you. And then I read his book, and I get it and I say, this is a movie. It's beautiful. My gal's assistant's wife says to me last night that she read the script and she says she was crying reading it and it just wrenched her gut. And I was just like, wow, we worked on that for almost two years now. And that was really cool. That was one of the real internal highlights of last night.
That's a nice note to end on.
And I thank you for infusing my morning with something that was not pointless and not irritating.
I appreciate that. We do get accused of that quite often.

This is only a brief and basic overview of Positive Reinforcement with Behavior Modification.
Positive Reinforcement
As rewarding as being a parent is, there can be many frustrating days while raising children. I do not know what I would have done when my son was young, without a behavior system in place; he was an active guy. We used Positive Reinforcement, which would be like catching your child doing something you want them to do, rather than catching them misbehaving. The child is given a reward for doing something correctly, or behaving in a desired manor.
There are several different ways to implement positive reinforcement as in giving praise, or a tangible reinforcement such as stickers to put on a chart or tokens to be turned in for a prize. Once a reward is given, it must not be taken away for difficult behavior, later. In the beginning we used stickers and a sticker chart. In 2nd grade my son earned poker chips for positive school behavior. He loved to save the chips up and cash them in for 5 cents each. The teacher filled out a form I provided each day; I gave my son 3 poker chips for excellent behavior, 2 for good, 1 for acceptable. The behavior was split into two sections, morning and afternoon. He could earn chips for a good morning, even if he earned 0 chips in the afternoon.
· In general, when you see your child acting appropriately, give them praise. You are playing so nice together. You picked up your toys; good for you!" You are talking with your quiet voice, that's wonderful!
Behavior Modification
Make clear cut distinctions of what desirable and undesirable behavior is. The parent informs the child of what the limits are. When setting limits do not set too many rules, or it will get confusing to your child. Make sure your rules are flexible enough to encounter special circumstances, or room for your child to have space. Never give your child unreasonable demands or you are defeating the purpose.
· Start out by choosing one behavior at a time.
· Pin point exactly what behavior you want to change. (Think about what was happening 2 to 5 minutes before the unwanted behavior started).
· Communicate your rule and establish a reward and consequence.
§ Do not hit
§ If you do not hit, you can watch TV for 20 minutes after lunch (reward)
§ If you hit, you will not watch TV after lunch (consequence)
(For young children, immediate time out is a good consequence)
· When your child follows directions, praise them. Great job! You did not hit before lunch and can watch TV.
· If the child does not follow directions, give one warning. If the rule is broken again, then the consequence is implemented. Do not shout or react to your child's undesirable behavior.
· Give a reason for why the consequence is being implemented. Because you hit your sister, you will not watch TV after lunch. Or, now you have a time out.
· This will only work with consistency and follow through from the parents, and consistency of reward and consequence.

Celebrity Solstice Cruise Review by Rockin Robin: Fabulous Honeymoon
Overall Member Rating
Fabulous Honeymoon
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
We traveled on the Celebrity Solstice from Seattle, WA to Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, AK and Victoria, BC for our honeymoon. The cruise was sponsored by Jordan Vineyard & Winery and offered through CostCo travel to a limited number of guests. I can't say enough about both Celebrity Cruises and Jordan Wines.
First of all, we were in Concierge Class on deck 9, starboard side. The room was spacious, well designed, and had all the amenities one could hope for. Our room attendant was attentive and spoiled us! We had fresh fruit and flowers every day, canapes each afternoon (quite tasty), and service 2 times a day with chocolates each night. We found the room service breakfast menus the first night, and had wonderful food delivered every morning right to our room!
The ship, even though it was huge, never felt overly crowded (except maybe at embarkation/disembarkation times). I could go on and on, but needless to say, the food in the Grand Epernay was some of the More best we've had on any vacation, the service was wonderful, and we would cruise on this ship again anytime! I wouldn't waste the money on the 3 specialty restaurants, since items like Escargot were on our menu every night...formal or not.
Now, about Jordan Wines....Chris Avery, the National Sales Director, traveled the cruise with us. He sponsored several events with wine tastings, food pairings, etc. Not only was he professional, knowledgeable, and a fantastic guide to Jordan Wines....he was an amazing person to spend time with! Several of those attending would travel with him anytime just for fun!
Our honeymoon was everything we could have hoped for, thanks to Celebrity and Jordan. Less

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Matthew Stafford scored on a 4-yard bootleg, and the Detroit Lions had a 7-0 lead over the Green Bay Packers after the first quarter Sunday night.
The Packers are playing with only four defensive lineman, and the Lions wasted no time taking advantage. Using big tackle Riley Reiff as an extra blocker, they ran the ball nine times on the first drive. The Packers managed to stop Mikel Leshoure on third-and-1 at the Green Bay 4. But the Lions chose to go for it.
With Calvin Johnson drawing double coverage and the Packers biting on the fake handoff to Leshoure, Stafford had the left side of the field all to himself for the score on the bootleg.

Legendary Go-Go Percussionist Joins New Band
Special to Informer | 11/7/2012, 4:23 p.m.
The Washington Informer recently had the opportunity to speak with Milton "Go-Go Mickey" Freeman former percussionist for Rare Essence, who made the decision last month to leave Rare Essence and join Familiar Faces. The move ended a 28-year run with the band and has left many go-go enthusiasts wondering how the transition will impact both bands. Freeman was born and raised in Washington, D.C. by a musical family; his mother Chicquita, was a pianist and singer and his father Milton, a guitar player and lead singer in Mickey and the Blazers, a rhythm and blues group. The elder Mickey bought his son a drum set when he was two and taught the prodigy how to play.
When he was 12, Freeman went to see his first go-go band, the Pump Blenders, and got in trouble when he went home. Good friends with the late Quentin "Footz" Davidson (a legend in his own right), with whom he used to bowl, Freeman would go to the Coliseum and play on Footz's drums. Freeman taught himself to play congas when he was 14 after watching Rare Essence conga player Tyrone "Jungle Boogie" Williams.
"Like father, like son" continued when Freeman's sons Lil' Mickey and BJ learned to play by watching and listening to their father. BJ currently plays congas with several up and coming bands, and Lil' Mickey is in college.
WI: How did you feel when you first joined Rare Essence?
GGM: Well, Rare Essence was the biggest band in the city, outside of Chuck Brown. Chuck Brown was the God Father of Go-Go, but for my age group everybody was going to see Rare Essence, and that was the biggest band to get into so once I was in, that in itself was very exciting, being a part of the number one band in the city.
WI: What was your most memorable show with RE?
GGM: Most memorable show? It would have to be Go-Go Live at the Capital Center (1987), which was one of our biggest shows; you know playing in front of a crowd that big was huge for me.
WI: I am sure you had many great experiences playing with RE, but what experience will you cherish forever?
GGM: Playing alongside Footz, Benny, and Funk, those would definitely be my best memories. Footz is the one that got me started in the band, playing alongside the best drummer and best lead mic men in the business. I'll always cherish that.
WI: After being with the Rare Essence for 28 years, why did you leave? What was the deciding factor?
GGM: Uh, there were a lot of business moves that I've been through with the band and it was just time for a change for me. It was time to get out of that situation. I just couldn't deal with certain things anymore and I felt like it was best for me to look out for me and my family. It was kind of hard, to tell you the truth, yeah it was hard, but this was maybe the third time that I've thought about it and this time I just, I was sure.
WI: Are you at all concerned about how your fans/friends feel about your decision?
GGM: No, not at all. If you're a friend of mine you're going to be there regardless of who I play with, I get just as much love and support playing with the the new band, if not more.
WI: So you've already had your first show with the new band, Familiar Faces, what do you look forward to with them?
GGM: I look forward to the future and what it brings. We are going try to make new music for the city; you know people complain about everybody doing cover tunes so I want to see us make more original hits, which I know we can do because we have top flight musicians in the band.
Freeman has already performed several shows with Familiar Faces and hasn't missed a beat.
Freeman can be seen performing four nights a week with Familiar Faces. For the band's schedule please visit: www.familiarfaces.org. Twitter: @FamiliarfacesDC.

Where I stayed
We went on a drive through the hills today chauffered by Margaret, and tourguide Dave!
Through mountainside villages and up the valley of the River Boina climbing into the hills and woodlands, lots of orange groves. There was a market in Monchique, the highest village in the Algarve. The market wasn't up to much in our opinion it was all knickers and socks and strange agricultural equipment. We were amazed to see some very sharp scythes and knives on sale, I am assuming they don't have a gang culture here.
The highlight of the market for us was the herd of goats that appeared from nowhere and came careering down the hillside; about thirty strong with some very strange curly horns, quite delightful.
On the way down we stopped at Caldas de Monchique a spa village where obviously the other half go for their spa treatments and to drink the waters in one of the very posh hotels there. It was extemely nice and maybe we'll sneak back and treat ourselves while we are here.
It did get very cold up in the mountains and we were glad to find there was still some sunshine when we got back to the campsite.
We had a lovely evening at the Rally American supper where we played the chimes to a standard that was recognised by the audience and Dave told a naughty story that was appreciated by everyone. Margaret sang some folk songs there were a few stories told. Fascinating stuff really.
All in all - a good day. Bom dias!

World's First Research Proven Myostatin Blocker!
What is myostatin? It's a growth factor that controls how big your muscles can get – its primary function is to keep them from becoming too big!
• Over 10 years of research - proven to block myostatin in all human test subjects!
• Decreases levels of myostatin up to 46% within 18 hours!
Myostatin was first discovered in 1997 and seen to be an extreme limiter to muscle growth. Since that time it has been at the center of intrigue and research. For example, ground-breaking research conducted in 2001 at Johns Hopkins University indicated that a 20% reduction in myostatin through exercise lead to new gains in muscle. This began research into its use as a supplement, which was led by Carlon Colker, M.D., a medical doctor and bodybuilding author. It's no secret that every bodybuilder alive wants to reduce myostatin levels in hopes of taking the reins off muscle growth – what self-respecting bodybuilder doesn't want to be bigger? Introducing MYO-X - the first research proven, natural myostatin blocker! MYO-X will decrease levels of myostatin, thereby promoting muscle growth!
What is "Double Muscling"?
"Double Muscling" is an actual term that's used in scientific circles to define extreme examples of muscle found in humans and animals that appear to lack normal levels of myostatin – of which there are recorded examples as far back as 2004.
For over 10 years, Carlon Colker, M.D., with a team of doctors, has been conducting research on possible methods of blocking myostatin levels. A strong belief among the team of doctor's involved is that blocking myostatin leads to dramatic new muscle growth. After 10+ years, they have finally found a solution!
Myo T12 is a natural ingredient that undergoes a precise manufacturing process that amplifies the concentration levels of 700 peptides, 80 proteins and other biologically active growth factors exclusive to MYO-X. Myo T12 is patent pending and works by slowing the production of myostatin. More important, it is research proven and validated by intensive testing, human research, and peer reviewed published research summaries. One such research study indicated that MyoT12 decreased serum levels of myostatin by as much as 46% with just one serving! In this study, all human test subjects saw reduced levels of myostatin, with the average reduction down to 12.6 pg/mL. This averages out to a 46% drop in myostatin from baseline.
The thing is, Myostatin exists in every one of us and functions to put a cap on your ability to build muscle. The ability to reduce or block levels of Myostatin will allow you to reach new heights as far as muscle growth is concerned.

The Philadelphia Eagles headed into 2012 expecting the secondary to be a strong suit. After all, the organization had signed Nnamdi Asomugha to a five-year deal and traded for Pro Bowl corner Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
The defensive line was expected to be one of the more formidable units in the league, and coordinator Juan Castillo was entering his second year with the team.
The plan backfired, though, when the line failed to generate pressure on the opposing quarterbacks. Andy Reid fired Castillo midseason and handed the job to defensive backs coach Todd Bowles, who was awful in his brief stint.
The Eagles can't possibly expect to compete with the same group in '13. The NFC East boasts three Pro Bowl quarterbacks and a talented group of receivers. Chip Kelly's Eagles will need to make some changes to compete on the defensive side of the football.
It's doubtful the team can go from being a bottom-three unit to stellar in one season. But the following seven moves could at least lead to some improvement.

News for Tuesday, 7.30.13
THE OLD MASONITE site north of Ukiah is owned by Developers Diversified Realty which is the centerpiece in a DISPUTE between the County and the City of Ukiah over where to place a proposed CostCo outlet. Supervisor
Pinches would like to see a CostCo on the DDR-Masonite site, which is north of the Ukiah city limits. Ukiah wants CostCo to be placed inside the city limits.
The Board of Supervisors has sent a letter to Costco requesting a meeting
to discuss putting a store on DDR's land. It's the first item of business on the County Supervisors' Tuesday agenda at 9:10 am
The county's draft letter says. "There are lingering long-term access deficiencies at the city's proposed site. The DDR site is simply more flexible and with the county's unwavering support, development projects can happen quickly"
As a result of Mrs. Samantha Lamberg's appearance on a KXYZ program last Wednesday evening, the case of her missing husband Erik, 51,
has received its strongest lead since his car was found abandoned on
Sherwood road 12 miles east of Fort Bragg in early June. Lamberg, 51, has been missing since May 29th.
After her interview on Mendo Matters, a listener, Angela Harvey, reached
out to Mrs Lamberg on her Facebook page. "Angela's boyfriend is Michael
Stephans, a professional owl caller who works at night. On May 31, he was near the Skunk Train, Clair Mill depot, between Burbeck and Crowley. There was a storage shed there which he opened. Inside was a lot of debris. As
he was leaving, he heard a man screaming as if he was scared out of his
mind. Michael then quickly left. " The location is in reasonable proximity to
where Erik's van was found.
Since that lead came in, Stephans also reported that the hut seemed to be
occupied as late as the beginning of July, with a pine bough bed and a fire
Lt. Barney (head of S&R) said the next steps would not take place until Wednesday, but he cautions that the hut could also be home to any homeless person, not just Lamberg.
Mrs Lamberg ends her email with "Many thanks to KZYX, the people who called in, Angela Harvey, and Michael Stephans and the community of Mendocino County for all their efforts."
The Mendocino School District trustees voted unanimously Thursday , to
raise the fees 7.1 percent for MCN, effective Sept. 1st . The increase for
Fusion residential customers will be about $4.46, while Fusion business
customers will pay $5.18 more per month. Legacy DSL customers will pay
$2.50 more .
The board also decided to begin the process of applying for a waiver to
California's sealed bid requirement for the disposal of public property, which is the first step toward the option of selling MCN.
The WILLITS CITY COUNCIL is holding a SPECIAL MEETING
At noon Tues, JULY 30, 2013 to discuss POSSIBLE ACTION
As of Friday, The contractor has informed the City that they will not use city streets until an agreement is reached.
A petition is being circulated online at the petitions.moveon.org website to save MCTV. "We, the undersigned, petition the Fort Bragg City Council and the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors to continue to support and fund community access television on the Mendocino coast."
Stay tuned for Conversations on Health care; @ 9 am
This week, Mark and Margaret speak with Dr. William Newsome, a Stanford University neurobiologist seeking to map the human brain.

Vintage Collage

Use these collage ideas from Marie Segal to make your own vintage collage. She'll show you her acrylic paint background technique.
- Clean canvas- I used a stretch canvas
- Lumiere gold-true gold #550
- Ne-Opaque Brown-#592
- Flat soft 1/2" brush
- Cotton printable paper
- Silk printable paper
- Flowable extender
- I printed the pictures I was going to use on the cotton paper. It is sheet of paper with fabric attached to it so you can run it through your Ink Jet Printer. I printed the dates and words on a sheet of the silk paper. I used the silk for this because when I used the flowable extender the silk tends to fade away and the words are just left. This works with encaustic collage too! I do these first to give the ink a chance to dry before I use it. Otherwise it gets on my hands and comes off in my brush too!
- Flowable extender is a gel medium and if you want a thicker one you can use the Jacquard Silk screen flowable extender. The one for the Lumiere and the Ne-opaque is thinner and is nice for thinning the Ne-opaque and Lumiere and for using as a stand alone product too. I like this as a thinner more than water, even though water does work also. I took the canvas and thinned the Brown Ne-opaque with the flowable extender and slapped it haphazardly on to the canvas. That means quickly and with no deliberation, Just do it. Roughly looks best and you can scrub it on in places and add it on like painting a coat of paint too.
- I even painted the sides of the canvas too! That way they can be hung right away while looking for the perfect frames.
- While the brown was still wet and workable and added the Gold Lumiere. In patches according to taste. I did not want the whole thing goldy, but for it to have highlights of gold in different light.
- I messed around with the placement of the pictures before I started "gluing" them on with the flowable extender.
- I had some scraps of the fabric paper left over so I thought I would use a fine point Tee-juice pen and see if I could draw on the paper fairly well and you can and I am probably going to pursue this one later on. Just think Zentangle quilts, wall hangings, or fabric collage!!! I am thinking too I could draw my own stuff heat set it and then use it in the encaustic.
- First thing you want to do when starting to use the paper is get the backing off of the fabric. I use my scissors for this and stick the end under the fabric and pull it back from the paper. I lift it up around it and then get a big piece of it and pull away! If your scissors are really sharp be careful of cutting yourself and the fabric.
- I paint the back and the front of the fabric with flowable extender and then paint the canvas where I want my fabric to go. I then lay the fabric picture on the canvas. I then brush more extender on and brush out any air bubbles underneath the fabric picture.
- Add more pictures overlapping them, this same way.

The PSU is cooled with a Martech DF1352512SEHN fan. The brand is known far less than Yate Loon. It is a 140x140x25mm thing with a metallized coating of the impeller. The fan is highlighted with four blue LEDs.
As opposed to fans made from translucent plastic, the metallized coating reflects lights but does not diffuse it. As a result, the PSU is not so much shining itself as illuminating the innards of your system case.
The cables are organized like in the previous two models. They are sorted by application. This may save you a few minutes which you'd otherwise spend to untangle the cables before assembling your computer.
The PSU is equipped with the following cables and connectors:
- Mainboard cable with a 24-pin connector (60cm long)
- CPU cable with an 8-pin connector (60cm)
- CPU cable with a 4-pin connector (60cm)
- Graphics card cable with an 8-pin connector (46cm)
- Graphics card cable with a 6-pin connector (56cm)
- Cable with one Molex connector (34cm)
- Cable with one Molex connector (44cm)
- Cable with one Molex connector (64cm)
- Two cables with two SATA power plugs on each (49+15cm)
- USB cable (65cm)
Thus, this PSU has the same cables and connectors as the 4M630 model. And it comes with the same set of adapters: one adapter from a graphics card's 8-pin into 6-pin connector, two Molex→2xMolex splitters, and two splitters with a floppy-drive connector.
The PSU has four "virtual" +12V lines with a max current of 18A on each, but not more than 52A in total. The combined load capacity of the +3.3V and +5V rails is high at 180W. The latter is not demanded by today's computers, though. Modern systems load the +12V rail the most.
The PSU worked without overheat or instability at loads from 50 through 660W. Together with an APC SmartUPS SC 620 the power supply could work at loads up to 385W (from the mains) and 335W (from the batteries). The UPS switched to its batteries and back to the mains without problems.
The output voltage ripple is within the norm even at full load.
The circuit design of this PSU is identical to the two previous models', so there should be no big difference in their characteristics. Indeed, the voltages boast superb stability. The PSU can work at any balance of loads without violating the permissible deflections of the voltages.
The PSU is 85% efficient through a wide range of loads. Its power factor is 0.99 at the maximum.
This model proved to be somewhat worse than the previous ones in terms of noisiness. Its fan is rotating at about 1000rpm under low loads. When the load grows up, the fan speed changes in two steps for some reason. Anyway, although this PSU is somewhat noisier than the 4M630 and 4M880, it does not get uncomfortable on your ears.
Of course, the main and the only difference of the HPU-5M680-PE from the 4M series models is the integrated 8-port hub plus the ninth port for powering USB devices. This functionality is not redundant because nearly every modern peripheral device – drives, printers, scanners, web-cameras, keyboards, mice, joysticks – has transitioned to the USB interface. As a result, the mainboard's default four or six external USB ports may not be enough and you have to use a USB bracket (two or four ports per bracket) or an external hub. An external hub often has one limitation. The total consumption of all the connected devices must not be higher than 500mA or the hub has to be plugged into a wall outlet. And wall outlets may often be as scanty as USB ports. The hub integrated into the Hiper HPU-5B680-PE solves this problem in an obvious way: its gets its power right from the PSU it is located in.
Of course, an integrated hub is not a killer feature you can't live without. But this functionality distinguishes the Hiper HPU-5B680-PE from its opponents many of which are manufactured at Channel Well's facilities, too.

Atlanta Mulch Supplier
Green Brothers Earth Works carries eleven (11) different types of mulches with different textures, color, and prices. All mulches will help retain moisture in the ground so plants will grow healthier. As these mulches break down, they add top soil to your ground. As good top soil is developed, worms will move in adding nutrients. Pine bark mulches will break down the quickest, then hardwood barks, then the dyed products. All mulches will last approximately one (1) year; although, cypress mulch may last longer if turned every 6 months with a pitchfork. You should put mulch down at 2" thick. Any less not enough, any more overkill. You will have to mulch every year. The second year, you should put down another 2". By the 3rd year, you will have a good base of top soil. You will only need 1" of mulch to top dress your gardens.
Alpharetta Mulch Products
Some of the many benefits you can experience from a mulch application include:
• Protection from soil erosion
• Reduction of soil compaction from the impact of rain
• Conservation of moisture, resulting in less need for watering
• Maintenance of even soil temperatures
• Prevention of weed growth in flower beds, garden beds, and outdoor living environments
• Cleanliness of fruits and vegetables that you grow yourself
• Cleanliness of shoes after walking through outdoor living environments
• Enhancement of visual appeal of your garden or yard
Marietta Organic Mulch
Organic mulches have the added advantage of the ability to improve the condition of your soil because as organic mulch decomposes, it provides organic matter which helps loosen soil, improve root growth, increase water infiltration and improve the water-holding capacity of soil. By providing plant nutrients to soil, organic mulch creates an ideal environment for soil organisms and earthworms to replenish it.
Green Brothers Earth Works offers the very best in organic mulch.

Moto X: Is it possible to increase screen-on time before entering PIN code?
Is it possible to increase the amount of time the screen on the X stays on before you enter a PIN code? It seems to time out at 10 seconds and I'd like to slightly increase that. (Just to be clear, I'm not talking about the Sleep mode, the time that the screen stays on before it goes to sleep after you have entered your PIN and are on the screen, I'm talking about the time between activating the screen and finishing entering your pin). I looked in Settings>Display but there doesn't seem to be anything for this.
There have been occasions when I find myself making the screen come on to check something and either getting distracted by a conversation or something on TV and if I haven't finished the PIN within that 10 seconds the screen goes back to black and I have to redo the activation process. Obviously this is not a huge issue, just an inconvenience, but I'd like to be able to extend that time to 15 or 20 seconds if possible.

Re: Is it possible to increase screen-on time before entering PIN code?
I would suggest Adderal .. but seriously, maybe a pattern lock would be easier than picking out the numbers. you are likely to finish the continuous swipe of the pattern as opposed to being distracted between numbers.

The audio of this report can be found at Daily Fire Fix
A Sunday night hi-rise fire in Chicago that spread smoke and heat beyond the room of origin required over a 2-11 alarm assignment and over 150 firefighters to attack, contain, and eventually extinguish.
An EMS Plan 2 was initiated, calling in 11 ambuli as report after report continued to include new victims in need of emergency medical care. 2 firefighters were also injured, one seriously.
When Chicago's finest arrived at the 21-story residential apartment building at 3130 N. Lake Shore Dr, they reported fire blowing out of a twelfth-floor window and attempted to put the building's elevators into 'fire mode' without success.
Instead, they were forced to hump their hose and other equipment up the fire floor to make an attack, costing precious time which allowed the fire to grow exponentially.
One citizen was coming home from getting take-out food and had taken the elevator to 12. Its doors opened, and she was blasted by the smoke and superheated gasses, killing her.
Many others reported hearing no alarms but were awoken by fire sirens. Some residents, unaffected directly by the fire reportedly never woke up until the next morning, unaware how close they came to taking their final breath.
Here's the report from NBC Chicago:
32-Year-Old Dies in High Rise Fire: MyFoxCHICAGO.com
IF ONLY there was a way to alert all the souls sleeping in a burning building to the deadly danger!
IF ONLY we could invent a way that water could be sprayed on a fire right in the area it started immediately as technology discovers it!
IF ONLY we could figure out a way to have each unit's door automatically close and keep a fire to its unit of origin with walls that could, in some way, be fire rated!
IF ONLY we were able to program elevators to return to the ground floor during a fire and stay there until fire crews could control them for safe use, rather than deliver unsuspecting victims into a 1,500+ degree hellfire death.
Of course, all of this is already possible. So what happened here?
A city ordinance requiring older high-rises to be retrofitted with a modern, connected alarm and detection system BY THIS MONTH was recently extended until 2015 by the city council, according to a Chicago Building Department spokesperson.
Also, older residential buildings in Chicago ARE NOT required to install sprinkler systems, instead they may opt to be evaluated and other safety upgrades can be put in place.
According to NBC Chicago, an employee of this building's management company, Planned Property Management, declined to comment at the scene. The company's president and chief executive officer, Robert Buford, was appointed to the city's Community Development Commission in July.
So, just how much would it cost building owners to retrofit their money-makers with adequate detectors (beyond the first alert local models) and sprinkler systems? According to the National Fire Sprinkler Association, the cost to retrofit is about $1.50 to $2.50 per sq. ft.
Compare the costs of adding sprinklers and a building fire detection system with the cost to clean up, repair, and rehab the large area unnecessarily burned due to late detection and exponentially uncontrolled growth of a fire taking place in a non-sprinklered environment.
Compare the costs of adding sprinklers and a building fire detection system with the loss of rental income while repairs are being made to the large, damaged area of your money-maker.
Compare the costs of adding sprinklers and a building fire detection system to the cost of having to face litigation following the incident as building owners would face lawsuit after lawsuit from a single incident.
And finally, compare the costs of adding sprinklers and a building fire detection system to the unimaginable loss now being endured by the family and friends of one of the tenants of your money-maker, who when returning to her Lake Shore Drive apartment, was crisped as the elevator doors opened into the gates of hell.
Which costs more? Which decision is the more fiscally responsible?
Could it be that, at times, the power of the almighty dollar leaves us unable to rationalize between short term costs and long term gains?
Stay stoked!

Kasim Rabul (4/6/2013): This is a great place for weddings actually. There has been a record of about 3,000 weddings, in the past 20 years, at the park. I have also had a wedding here a few years ago. There have been a few celebrity weddings here as well. It is not extremely hard to organize a wedding here. There are a few policies here and there for littering and that kind of stuff, but it shouldn't be a problem. Thank you for your question.

Youth Answer President's Call to Service Through Song!
Blog Categories:
Can you sing, dance, or act? Then you can serve! Usher's New Look has encouraged youth to answer President Obama's call for service and change. At Camp New Look 2009, young people explored different ways to address issues in their community using their particular talents. It is based on the "Issue Action Power" model; an exclusive song, by the same name, was presented to the audience at the camp's annual closing event.
When young people learn to use their talents to address issues and take action they also recognize they have the power to improve their communities through service. Instead of making excuses or simply acknowledging the need for change, youth take ownership and develop creative ways to address their communities' most pressing issues. Adding these creative elements helps make service relevant and accessible to ALL young people.
Usher's New Look is supporting creative youth-led service through its partnership with the United Nations Foundation and the Nothing But Nets campaign, raising awareness and funding for 40,000 bed nets for refugee camps in Ethiopia. Small grants of $500-1000 are available to fund youth-led service projects for long-term impact. All projects must build on lessons learned about issue, action and power as well as incorporate a creative element that builds on their skills and talents.
A group of campers in New York City are already hard at work developing a script for a musical that will educate audiences about the effect of malaria on families in Africa, and raise money for more nets.
Usher's New Look has also received a grant from Learn and Serve America to expand this opportunity to those that have ideas but were not able to attend Camp New Look, or want to tackle another issue in their community. Those aged 12-20, will be able to apply in any of New Look's outreach cities: Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans and Biloxi. The grants will be available as of September 24, 2009.

Tiger Woods enters the upcoming 2011 PGA Golf year a man surrounded by questions. Can he regain his golf game? How much will his personal life drama affect his golf performance? Will Tiger ever be great again? And, lastly, where does the chase of Jack Nicklaus and golf immortality lie?
Well, everyone is missing the boat on all of the Tiger doubts. That's because whether Tiger does or doesn't return to be the best golfer in the world spot has nothing, I repeat, nothing, to do with his personal life.
Tiger Woods' work ethic is unparalleled in golf and, outside of Kobe Bryant, Ray Lewis, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady, the greatest in all of sport. Hear this loud and clear. Tiger will be unaffected by the hurricane surrounding his personal life.
What happened off the course is irrelevant to on it. And look at the slew of other athletes who have returned after a personal storm. One is doing it right now this year. Michael Vick has come back to the top of the mountain with his play as the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback.
And, like Vick, Tiger will put his past behind him and focus on golf. It's the only thing he does and knows.
The fact is this: Tiger has't played a full season of golf since 2007. That's a full three years.
Last year was shortened by the personal life issues, with Tiger taking four months before he played a tourney.
2009 was another short year, as Tiger was recovering from knee surgery. He was just getting his golf game back and returning to full health when the November avalanche of sex scandal suffocated him.
And 2008 was cut short after the magical win at the US Open due to the bad knee.
So, 2011 will have Tiger back fully on tour, and he'll still be ironing out (pun intended) his golf game to top form.
The only real question remains: When and Where will Tiger when his first tournament in 2011? Or maybe, the question is IF?
I expect Tiger to play a schedule similar to the one he played in 2007. And while he always keeps the exact appearances close to the cuff, this is my best guess at both the tourney's he'll play to start the year and how he will perform.

Verizon stores in NYC
Looking to replace my Thunderbolt which I bought online without seeing it in person. This time around I want to hold and play before buying it. What is the store to do this in nyc? I seriously don't even know. I mean over the years I may been to a few little neighborhood cell phone stores.
Am I looking for a verizon corporate store? Or maybe a best buy? I hate to say it, but anything like an Apple store where i can play with a phone without even talking to a salesperson?

Re: Verizon stores in NYC
I'm not from the area to be able to tell you a specific store to go to, but generally if you buy one way, you have to deal with any issues the same way. I.e. if you buy from a corporate store, only a corporate store will be able to assist you with that phone if you need to exchange it or change your contract. Same if you go to an independent Verizon store. I'm not sure how it would work if you bought it 3rd party like at Best Buy. This probably won't be an issue in a place like NYC, which should have plenty of options, but something to consider if you get out of the main cities. Corporate stores aren't very popular in rural areas, which could hinder getting store level service. Of course there is always calling customer service too.
Even if you don't buy from a Verizon branded store, I recommend going to one for the first hand testing. The phones are all fully functional, not demo models with fake screens. I've always found the sales reps to be fairly non-pushy in my area, but that's Wisconsin. I've never had issue just saying I'm looking around and being able to browse on my own. They of course are helpful (and Verizon branded stores specifically because they should know their phones best) and usually have helped guide me to a phone they think I would like based on what I ask about, not whatever the new flagship/most expensive phone happens to be at the time.
This may sound counter intuitive, but you may want to consider going during a time the store is very busy. If you're worried about the salesmen constantly trying to talk you into something while browsing on your own, the crowd will help create a buffer between you and the staff, since there will be more people to sell to. Once you decide on a phone, I would say just buy from whoever has the best deal for you if you plan to stay in and around NYC.

What is it and how is it used?
Aerius is an antiallergy medicine that does not make you drowsy. It helps control your allergic reaction and its symptoms.
Aerius relieves symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergy, for example, hay fever or allergy to dust mites). These symptoms include sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy palate, and itchy, red or watery eyes.
Aerius is also used to relieve the symptoms associated with urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy). These symptoms include itching and hives.
Relief of these symptoms lasts a full day and helps you to resume your normal daily activities and sleep.
What do you have to consider before using it?
Do not take Aerius
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to desloratadine, to any of the other ingredients of Aerius or to loratadine. Aerius is indicated for adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older).
Take special care with Aerius
- if you have poor kidney function.
If this applies to you, or if you are not sure, please check with your doctor before taking Aerius.
Taking other medicines
There are no known interactions of Aerius with other medicines.
Taking Aerius with food and drink
Aerius may be taken with or without a meal.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
If you are pregnant or nursing a baby, taking Aerius is not recommended.
Driving and using machines
At the recommended dose, Aerius is not expected to cause you to be drowsy or less alert. However, very rarely some people experience drowsiness, which may affect their ability to drive or use machines.
Important information about some of the ingredients of Aerius
Aerius tablets contain lactose. If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicinal product.
How is it used?
Adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older): take one tablet once a day.
Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.
Regarding the duration of treatment, your physician will determine the type of allergic rhinitis you are suffering from and will determine for how long you should take Aerius.
If your allergic rhinitis is intermittent (presence of symptoms for less than 4 days per week or for less than 4 weeks), your physician will recommend you a treatment schedule that will depend on the evaluation of the history of your disease.
If your allergic rhinitis is persistent (presence of symptoms for 4 days or more per week and for more than 4 weeks), your physician may recommend you a longer term treatment.
For urticaria, the duration of treatment may be variable from patient to patient and therefore you should follow the instructions of your physician.
If you take more Aerius than you should
Take Aerius only as it is prescribed for you. No serious problems are expected with accidental overdose. However, if you take more Aerius than you were told to, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
If you forget to take Aerius
If you forget to take your dose on time, take it as soon as possible, then go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
What are possible side effects?
Like all medicines, Aerius can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. In adults, side effects were about the same as with a dummy tablet. However, fatigue, dry mouth and headache were reported more often than with a dummy tablet. In adolescents, headache was the most commonly reported side effect.
During the marketing of Aerius, cases of severe allergic reactions (difficulty in breathing, wheezing, itching, hives and swelling) and rash have been reported very rarely. Cases of palpitations, rapid heartbeat, stomach pain, nausea (feeling sick), vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhoea, dizziness, drowsiness, inability to sleep, muscle pain, hallucinations, seizures, restlessness with increased body movement, liver inflammation and abnormal liver function tests have also been reported very rarely.
If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.
How should it be stored?
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
Do not store above 30°C. Store in the original package.
Do not use Aerius after the expiry date which is stated on the carton and blister. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
Tell your pharmacist if you notice any change in the appearance of the tablets.
Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines no longer required. These measures will help to protect the environment.
What is it?
Aerius is a medicine containing the active substance desloratadine. It is available as a 5 mg tablet, a 5 mg oral lyophilisate (dispersible tablet), 2.5 mg and 5 mg orodispersible tablets (tablets that dissolve in the mouth), a 0.5 mg/ml syrup and a 0.5 mg/ml oral solution.
What is it used for?
Aerius is used to relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergy, for example, hay fever or allergy to dust mites) or urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy, with symptoms including itching and hives).
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How is it used?
The recommended dose for adults and adolescents (12 years of age and over) is 5 mg once a day. The dose in children depends on their age. For children from one to five years of age, the dose is 1.25 mg once a day, taken as 2.5 ml syrup or oral solution. For children from six to 11 years of age, the dose is 2.5 mg once a day, taken either as 5 ml of the syrup or oral solution, or as one 2.5 mg orodispersible tablet. Adults and adolescents can use any form of the medicine.
Aerius can be taken with or without food.
How does it work?
The active substance in Aerius, desloratadine, is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the receptors on which histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms, normally fixes itself. When the receptors are blocked, histamine cannot have its effect, and this leads to a decrease in the symptoms of allergy.
How has it been studied?
Aerius has been studied in a total of eight studies involving about 4,800 adult and adolescent patients with allergic rhinitis (including four studies in seasonal allergic rhinitis, and two studies in patients who also had asthma). The effectiveness of Aerius was measured by looking at the change in the symptoms (nasal discharge, itching, sneezing and congestion) before and after two or four weeks of treatment.
Aerius has also been studied in 416 patients with urticaria. The effectiveness was measured by looking at the change in the symptoms (itching, number and size of hives, interference with sleep and daytime function) before and after six weeks of treatment.
In all studies, the effectiveness of Aerius was compared with that of placebo (a dummy treatment). Additional studies were presented to show that the syrup, oral solution and orodispersible tablets are treated by the body in the same way as the tablets, and to show that they can be used safely in children.
What benefits has it shown during the studies?
In allergic rhinitis, looking at the results of all studies taken together, two weeks of treatment with 5 mg Aerius led to an average decrease in symptom score of 25 to 32%, compared with a decrease of 12 to 26% in the patients receiving placebo. In the two studies in urticaria, the decrease in symptom score after six weeks of treatment with Aerius was 58 and 67%, compared with 40 and 33% in placebo-treated patients.
What is the risk associated?
In adults and adolescents, the most common side effects are fatigue (tiredness; 1.2%), dry mouth (0.8%) and headache (0.6%). The side effects seen in children are similar. In children less than two years of age, the most common side effects are diarrhoea (3.7%), fever (2.3%) and insomnia (difficulty sleeping; 2.3%). For the full list of all side effects reported with Aerius, see the Package Leaflet.
Aerius should not be used in people who may be hypersensitive (allergic) to desloratadine, loratadine or any of the other ingredients.
Why has it been approved?
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that Aerius's benefits are greater than its risks for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis or urticaria. The Committee recommended that Aerius be given marketing authorisation.
Further information
The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union for Aerius to SP Europe on 15 January 2001. The marketing authorisation was renewed on 15 January 2006.
