THE FACTS: On a night when the Pistons severed their final tie with the recent past, they were reminded of the reality of the present. Tayshaun Prince, the final member of the 2004 championship team, along with youngster Austin Daye, are headed to Memphis in a three-team trade that will bring point guard Jose Calderon to Detroit. Without any of that crew, the Indiana Pacers reminded the Pistons of their 2013 reality with a 98-79 win Wednesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. It was the fourth loss in five games for the Pistons (17-29), who dropped to 5-17 on the road. The Pacers (27-19) snapped a three-game losing streak by winning their 12th in a row at home, where they will play 12 of their next 15 games. Indiana got double-doubles from three players: Roy Hibbert (18 points, 11 rebounds), Tyler Hansbrough (14 points, 11 rebounds) and Lance Stephenson (12 points, 11 rebounds). Greg Monroe led the Pistons (17-29) with 18 points.
QUOTABLE: "I think everyone was surprised that [the trade] took place right before the game. [Pistons president] Joe Dumars called me and I knew how much it hurt him. Tayshaun has been a part of the Pistons' family for 10 years. Throughout the time all those tight-woven relationships have developed, and I know that Joe felt horrible right before the game. But, for Tayshaun, I'm eternally grateful for his professionalism and how he handled himself. Obviously, with the championship and redefining himself, he became a very good role player and a captain for the team. I wish both Tayshaun and Austin the best of luck."
-- Detroit coach Lawrence Frank
THE STAT: The Pacers beat the Pistons for the ninth consecutive time at home, their second-longest active streak (Washington, 10). The Pistons' last win in Indianapolis came in 2008.
TURNING POINT: With the reserves on the floor, Detroit cut the deficit to 36-34 midway through the second quarter but Indiana's starters returned and took over the game, finishing the half on an 18-2 run to push the lead to 54-36. Detroit was 1-for-8 with three turnovers in the final 5:52 of the half. Hibbert and Stephenson combined for 14 of the Indiana points in the run.
QUOTABLE II: "We're not happy with how we've played on the road. We need to make up for it with this string of home games. If you're not going to be a .500 team on the road you need to be better than good at home, and so far we have been."
-- Indiana coach Frank Vogel
HOT: All five Indiana starters scored in double figures for the seventh time this season with all but Paul George hitting at least half their shots. Monroe shot 8-for-17 and Will Bynum 6-for-12 off the bench for the Pistons.
NOT: George was uncharacteristically cool, hitting 3-for-11, including 1-for-4 from the 3-point line, and committing six turnovers. Andre Drummond pulled 14 rebounds but shot 2-for-10 from the tree-throw line, missing his last seven in a row.
QUOTABLE III: "I was shocked, obviously. I knew that this was going to be a tough game for these guys to play, tough circumstances. For me, it's definitely a tough time but now it's time for me to go on to the next page and make the most of it. I thought things were starting to go well here as of late, I thought the last month we were making strides. It's intriguing because I think about the last two weeks seeing where Rudy Gay wanted out and I never thought I'd be a part of it."
-- Tayshaun Prince
NOTABLE: Word of the trade leaked an hour before the game but was not announced by the Pistons until the fourth quarter. Toronto received Gay from Memphis, with the Grizzlies acquiring Ed Davis and a second-round pick from Toronto as well as Prince and Day. Frank said he was not sure when Calderon would join the Pistons. ... After yielding averages of 105.3 points, 52.3 shooting and 53.3 points in the paint in the three-game losing streak, the Pacers held Detroit to 79 points, 36.4 percent shooting and 38 points in the paint. ... Tonight marked Vogel's two-year anniversary as coach. He replaced Jim O'Brien on Jan. 30, 2011 and has gone 89-61. "It seems like a long time," Vogel said, "But in some ways it seems like yesterday." ... Danny Granger is increasing the frequency and intensity of his workouts but has not yet been cleared for full contact. Vogel said he hopes the forward, out all season with left knee tendinosis, could be in uniform before the All-Star break "but there are no guarantees." ... Hansbrough's double-double was his first of the season. ... Stephenson's 11 rebounds were a career-high. ... This was the eighth time the Pacers held an opponent to fewer than 80 points, and the 18th time an opponent has shot less than 40 percent (.364). ... Rodney Stuckey, who stepped into the starting lineup due to the Prince trade, scored 12 points in the first quarter but just two thereafter.
UP NEXT: For the Pacers, Friday vs. Miami, Monday vs. Chicago, Tuesday vs. Atlanta. For the Pistons, Friday vs. Cleveland, Sunday vs. L.A. Lakers, Monday at New York.

data destruction
Data destruction is the process of destroying data stored on tapes, hard disks and other forms of electronic media so that it is completely unreadable and cannot be accessed or used for unauthorized purposes.
Letters from the Editor: 2016 State of Storage
Rich Castagna – the VP of Editorial, Storage – shares his candid, expert, and often very funny view on today's storage market. In these six "Letters from the Editor," originally featured in our monthly Storage magazine, Rich covers topics such as flash, data storage, SDS, storage hardware, data protection, convergence, and more.

When data is deleted, it is no longer readily accessible by the operating system or application that created it. But deleting a file is not enough; data destruction software must be used to overwrite the available space/blocks with random data until it is considered irretrievable.
Data can also be destroyed through degaussing, which destroys data on magnetic storage tapes and disk drives by changing the magnetic field. One caveat with this method is that the person who wishes to destroy data will need to know the exact strength of degaussing needed for each tape type and drive. Storage media can also be destroyed by using a mechanical device called a shredder to physically mangle tape, optical media and hard disk drives.

When I first plugged it into the TV it didn't have the overscan issue. Only when I applied the "dvi fix" . The monitor that didn't work as best I can tell has a native resolution of 1280 x 1024.
Well it seems like it's hit or mis with the DVI to HDMI patch. I applied the patch and it didn't work for me. I have an older monitor and that probably has a lot to do with it. However the same monitor works for my RaspberryPI's. The fix also made the settings for wacky when connecting it to the TV It's now spilling over both on the height and the width.

DOLL WITH MOVABLE PART FOR COACTION WITH MOVABLE PART OF ACCESSORY BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to movable figures toys and more particularly to a doll and related telephone accessories for simulating telephone conversation with a participant.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art Fluid actuated movable figure toys are disclosed in the following U.S. Pats. Nos.: Giannone, 2,920,419; Scaparino, 3,090,156; Ostrander, 3,125,827; Boulard- Cogan, 3,153,881; Beatty, Sr., 3,392,483; Boginiski, et al., 3,599,363; Mendigal, 3,600,845.
Generally speaking, in such toys, air or fluid is pumped to move portions of a doll or doll-like figure. These toys possess the advantage of being inexpensive in the utilization of a fluid medium and quiet and reliable in operation.
Recently there has been developed in the art, a number of dolls or the like which seem to participate in an activity together with, or responsive to, the actions of a participant. Such movable figure toys are well received in that they add realism to participation with them and seem like a playmate.
It is the object of this invention to meet the continuing need and desire in the art to provide improved forms of activity participating movable figure toys, and in particular, one which is actuated responsive to a fluid displacement system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention is directed, in brief, to the provision of an improved movable figure toy in the form of a doll and accessory telephone with the doll, with one telephone having movable components which move responsive to an air line and bellow system actuated by the other telephone.
The best mode currently contemplated for carrying out the invention includes the provision of a doll figure having a head which is movable in a horizontal and vertical plane to simulate affirmative and negative nodding and a movable limb including an arm and wrist arrangement constructed and arranged to go through the motions of picking up a phone headset and raising it to the ear of the doll with the headset being part of a simulated telephone for the doll. A master telephone is provided for a participant. The participant's telephone has push buttons thereon with bellows and conduits associated therewith for displacing fluid in the conduits responsive to depression. of certain buttons. The fluid conduits are associated with bellows in the interior of the doll and also with the doll telephone which, in turn, are connected to suitable linkage arrangement for moving the movable components thereof.

While this invention is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail a specific embodiment therefor, with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The combination doll accessory 10 of this invention includes a doll generally indicated 12, a doll telephone 14 including a simulated headset 14a and base 14b which rests on a table 16. The set further includes a master telephone 18 again having the simulated headset 18a and base 18b. 3
The doll 12 includes a head 20 having the usual simulated characteristics, such as hair 20a, eyes 20b, nose 20c, and mouth 20d, and ears 20e. The head is supported on a torso 21 with the torso having leg openings 22 and 24, for receiving the flanged ends 26 and 28 of legs 30 and 32, whereby the legs are articulated relative to the torso for movement through the aforementioned connection.
The torso 21 further includes, at its upper end, arm openings 34 and 36 for receiving the flanged ends 38 and 40 of arms 42 and 44. Each arm 42 and 44, comprises an upper portion 42a and 44a and a lowerportion 42b, 44b, connected to each other by a cross web or pin 42c, 44c, respectively, so that the upper and lower portions of the arm are movable relative to each other as well as the entire arm being movable relative to the torso through the aforementioned connection of the flanged ends of the arms in the arm openings.
The ends of the arms 42 and 44 have simulated hands 46 and 48. At least hand 46 has a stub 50 which extends through an opening 52 in the arm 42 to rotatably mount the hand 46 relative to the arm. It is contemplated that the hand 46 would be so configured and arranged as to grip the headset 14a and hold the two together for movement.
Stub 50 supports a ring 54 which has spaced abutments 56a and 56b thereon. The free end of rod 58 lies between abunnents 56a and 56b and is connected to web 42c. As the lower arm 42b pivots, rod 58 will travel circumferentially with ring 54 rotating the hand about the wrist joint afforded by the connection 50-52.
Lower arm 42b has an extension 60 which extends into upper arm 420. Extension 60 is received in a slot 62 in lower legs 64 of lever 66. Lever 66 is pivoted on a stub 68 in the interior of upper arm 42a and has an upper leg 70 which is received in an arcuate slot 72 formed in the flanged end 38 of the arm 42.
A rod 74 extends across the upper portion of the interior of torso 21 and is connected to the flanged end 38 of arm 42 and rotatably received in the flanged end 40 of arm 44. Rod 74 has an enlargement 76 near the arm socket 34 with a laterally extending projection 78. Projection 78 is connected to a plunger 80 which is associated with the resilient air bellows 82. The plunger 80 and bellows 82 comprise a piston-type means which is extensible and retractable to impart motion to as associate component.
Bellows 82 is fastened to the rear wall of the torso and is in fluid communication with fluid line or conduit 84. Conduit 84 extends to a nipple 86 surrounding air inlet 88 on the back of the torso. As air is fed to the bellows 82 through the conduit 84, the bellows will expand in a piston or plunger-like fashion, moving the plunger 80 forwardly to rotate rod 74. The rod will move the upper arm through a limited amount of movement before the side of the arcuate slot 72 will engage the upper leg 70 of lever 66. Following this absorbtion of lost motion, lever 66 will then also impart movement to lower arm 42b causing it to raise, while the upper arm is also rotating. As the lower arm is raised, as previously described, the wrist connection between the hand 46 and lower arm 42b will rotate and, as this action continues, the doll will go through the motion of the arm moving from a rest position, where the headset 14a is on base 14b, through a lifting motion to a working position, where the arm and hand move the headset 14a adjacent the ear 20c of the doll so that the doll is simulating talking into the telephone headset.
The head 20 is connected to the neck opening 90 of the torso 21. Neck opening 90 has an interior annular groove 92 for rotatably receiving the periphery of plate 94. Plate 94 has a centrally oriented upstanding hub 96 which has an opening 98 therethrough. The plate 94 also has a slot 100 which is ofiset from the center with the slot 100 being generally arcuate in configuration as best seen in FIG. 10. A depending extension 102 of sleeve 104 extends through the slot 100. The slot 100 is intended to be both wider, and of greater circumferental extent, than the extension 102, to allow relative movement of the extension 102 with respect to the slot 100.
Sleeve 104 is captivated in an opening 106 at the bottom of the head 20. The sleeve 104 supports a depending T'shapcd tongue 108 which is pivoted on pin 110 to the interior of the sleeve for movement in a generally horizontal plane, or about an axis which is generally transverse to the axis of rotation of the plate 94 through which the depending extension 102 extends. Relatively speaking, the tongue 108 is pivoted about a horizontal axis and plate 94 may rotate about a vertical axis. The tongue 108 has a depending extension portion 112 which extends through the opening 98 in hub 96 of plate 94.
A bellows 114 abuts the depending extension 102 and is fastened at 116 to the interior of the torso 21. Fluid line or conduit 118 extends from the bellows 114 to a nipple 120 which is in communication with inlet 122 for the admission of fluid into the conduit from the exterior of the torso. A bellows 124 is fastened at 126 to the interior of the torso and is in communication with a conduit or fluid line 128 which is similarly connected to a nipple and inlet as described with respect to conduit 1 18, but not shown in the drawings. Bellows 124 has a plunger 130 which is connected to a rod 132 which constitutes a lateral extension of the depending extension 112. Thus, when bellows 124 is extended responsive to the admission of fluid thereinto, it will push the rod 132 forwardly, causing relative rotation of the head with respect to the torso, in that the sleeve 164 will be caused to turn until the extension 102 engages the side of the slot in plate 94, which will permit further rotation of the head relative to the torso as the plate 94 rotates with respect to the groove 92. This movement about a generally vertical axis constitutes the equivalent of a negative to-andfrom motion in the head. When the bellows 114 is filled with fluid and extends it will push the extension 102 to cause the head to rotate about the vertical axis afforded by pivot and this will constitute the equivalent of an affirmative nodding of the head indicating a positive response.
The table 16 is best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 includes a top 136 supported on one side by a sheet-like depending leg structure 138. The table 16 also has a depending bell chamber 140 which serves to support the top 136. The bell chamber 140 is defined by walls 142 which depend from the underside of top 136 and are spanned by a bottom 144 which is substantially coplanar with the terminus of leg 138. The bottom 144 has an upwardly extending post 146 with a reduced end 148. The bottom also has an upwardly extending hub 150 with a centrally formed recess 152. both the posts 146, and hub 150, face inwardly to the interior of the chamber 140 for supporting components to be described.
Gear segment 154 is pivoted to the reduced end 148 of post 146. The gear segment 154 has a rear leg 156 and a forward arcuate toothed gear surface 158. Bellows 160 is fastened at one 162 to wall 142 and is in communication with fluid line or conduit 164. Beilows 160 has a forwardly extending plunger 166 which is connected to the rear leg 156 of gear segment 154. Thus, extension and contraction of bellows 160 will cause gear segment 154 to pivot about the reduced end 148 of post 146.
Gear 168 has a bottom stub 170 which is rotatably received in recess 152 of hub 150 and a top stub 172. Top stub 172 supports arm 174 which has discs 176 at its opposite ends. The arm 174 and its discs 176 are positioned to the interior of a bell 178 which is fastened by screw 180 to the underside of the table top 136. Thus, as the gear segment 154 is rotated about reduced end 148 by actuation of bellows 160, the gear surface 158 will rotate gear 160 about bottom stub 170 and cause rotational movement to be imparted to arm 174. This will cause disc 176 to engage the interior of bell 178 and thereby produce a ringing sound. it is intended that the bell and disc would be so constructed such that the ringing sound produce would closely simulated that of a telephone ringing.
The master or participant telephone 18 is intended to be a close simulation of a table-model push button telephone. The headset portion 180 has the usual handle portion 184 which supports a simulated mouth piece 186 at one end and simulated ear piece 188 at the opposite end. When resting on the base 13b, the mouth piece 186 overlies the recessed portion 190 at one end,
and ear piece 188 overlies the recessed portion 192 on the other end, so that, in a fashion common to such telephones, the head piece 180 is cradled with respect to the base 18b. Adjacent each of the recess portions 190 and 192, the base is provided with raised shoulders 194 and 196 which flank either side of a central recessed area 198. Push buttons are disposed in the recessed area 198 much in the same fashion as a conventional telephone. As illustrated in the drawings it is intended that push buttons 200, 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214 and 216 would be provided in the recessed area 198.
Push button 202, as best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, is connected to a bellows 220 supported on the bottom of the interior of base 18. Bellows 220 is connected with fluid line 164 which extends to the bellows 160 on the underside of table 16.
Push button 212 is connected with bellows 222 also supported on the bottom of the interior of base 18b. Bellows 222 is connected with fluid line 224 which extends outwardly of the participants phone 18 to a junction to be described. Button 212 has an opening 226 in the side thereof, as best seen in FIG. 3. Button 216 has a laterally extending post 228 as well as an outwardly extending cam surface 230. A lever 232 is pivoted on a post 234 for movement in a horizontal plane. Lever 232 has opposite legs 232a and 232b, which are adjacent the buttons 212 and 216. Lever 232 includes an outwardly extending post 236 and a biasing means or rubber band 238 extends between post 236 of lever 232 and post 228 of button 216. By this arrangement, as button 216 is depressed, cam surface 230 will strike leg 232a, causing rotation to be imparted to lever 232 about pin 234 in opposition to the biasing force exerting by band 238. However, band 238 will urge the lever to return to its initial position, thereby raising button 212 following the ringing of the bell 178 in hell chamber 140.
The handle portion 184 of head set 18 has buttons 242 and 244 which are movably received in openings 246 and 248. These buttons 242 and 244 have flanges 250 and 252 preventing their egress from the openings 246 and 248. Each button 254 and 256 is connected with a lever 254 and 256. Levers 254 and 256 have downturned ends 254a and 256a which are connected to the buttons 242 and 244, respectively, and offset opposite ends 254b and 256b. These levers are connected to pivot pins 258 and 260 to mount the levers for pivotal movement to the interior of the head set 18a.
The offset ends 254b and 256b are connected to bellows 262 and 264 by extending through eye portions 266 and 268. The bellows 262 and 264 are, located in the simulated mouth piece and ear piece areas 186 and 188 respectively, of the head set 180. Bellows 262 and 264 are connected with conduits or fluid lines 270 and 272, respectively, which extend outwardly of the head set 18a into the base 18b.
It is intended that the conduit lines 270, 272, 224, and 164, would extend from the participants phone 18 into the chamber 140 in the table 16. From there the conduit 164 would extend directly to the bellows 160. The remaining conduits would be fastened to a conduit block 276 with a short portion of each conduit extend ing through the opposite side of the block. These conduits and this block are intended to be constructed and oriented so as to fit into the inlet passages such as 88 and 122 at the rear of the torso 21 of the doll. By this arrangement, the conduits can be placed in communication with the conduits in the interior of the doll. Thus, it can be seen that this connection is extremely simple and easily understood. No elaborate sealing means is necessary particularly, since it is intended that the fluid operating medium would be air, itself.
In operation, the child participant, by operating phone 18, can cause the phone 14 to ring, causing the doll to lift the phone to its ear and further causing the doll to go through an affirmative or negative head nodding movement. Thus, the child participant can simulate the joyful endeavor of calling his simulated playmate on the phone, having the playmate, in the form of a doll, answer the phone, converse with the doll, and then have the doll express either an affirmative or negative response, depending on which is desired by the child, who is in control of the telephone 18.
Specifically, the doll may be operated in the following manner. The participant may lift the head set 18a and depress several of the buttons to simulate the act of calling a particular telephone number, and then, finally, depress 202, to activate bellows 220. Bellows 220 will be depressed, forcing a surge of fluid through the conduit 164 which will cause the bellows 160 to expand and pivot the gear 154 thereby rotating gear 168 causing the disc 176 to strike the interior of bell 178 and create a ringing sound.
Following this, the participant may depress button 212 which will compress bellows 233 causing fluid to be displaced in line 224 resulting in expansion of bellows 82. Expansion of bellows 82 will move plunger causing arm 42 to move from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 2 where the head set is positioned adjacent the dolls head. The participant may then converse with the doll and may cause the doll to respond to the conversation by activating either of the buttons 242 or 244. Depression of button 242 will compress bellows 262 displacing fluid in lin 270 and 138 causing expansion'of bellows 124. This will cause the plunger towork against rod 132 causing the head 20 to rotate about a vertical axis simulating a negative shaking of the head. Depression of button 244 will compress bellows 264 displacing fluid in lines 272 and 118 causing expansion of bellows 114. Bellows 114 bears against extension 102 and, when expanded, will cause the head 20 to pivot about a horizontal axis thereby simulating an affirmative nodding movement.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for cleamess of understanding only and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom as some modifications will be obvious to those skilled in the art.

The wooly mammoth wore layers
Q: How thick was a wooly mammoth's coat?
A: How thick? It depends on the season summer shedding
or a winter coat and the temperature: When animals are cold, they fluff
up their coats and make them thicker.
The dark-brown long coarse hair of a mammoth was about
19 inches long, judging from 20,000-year old carcasses we have found in the
permanently frozen Siberian wilds. Beneath that dwelled another woolly blanket
to keep the big beast warm: yellowish brown fur about an inch long. Finally,
beneath that, a three-inch layer of insulating fat swathed the creature.
By the way, a mammoth wasn't as large as his name implies.
It was actually about the size of a large elephant (height, 10.8 feet or 3.3

It doesn't get a lot simpler than this. Of course, I'm like you,
Bob. Anything I've posted can be used by anyone but I would appreciate
a request for permisson first, simply because I want to know who I'm helping
make rich. Then someday, when I'm collecting money for my favorite
charity, they can expect a call. :-)
(One interesting note. After you've been doing this for a while
and you build up a collection of hundreds of photos, unless you're a super
organized person, it's impossible to know whether all of the pictures that
you have actually belong to you. I try to keep them straight, but
I can't guarantee that all of the pictures I have available to me were
taken by me. I simply think that if anyone sends a picture out over
the web, they need to copyright it if they want it to be private property,
otherwise, they all start to just run together after a while).
Behind the Hosta Library, eBay may be biggest marketing effort happening
on the net to increase Hosta awareness. eBay probably drives the
low end of the market and helps to make people aware of all of the different
varieties out there and then they start to buy direct from the hybridizer.
Ain't nobody getting rich on eBay from selling Hostas. Just look
at how many have had there accounts suspended last year alone. At
one time, three of the bigger players were all banned for various reasons.
Some of these resellers do a lousy job at running a professional operation
and have earned a large number of negatives because of it. You wouldn't
believe how many people send me an email message wanting me to help them
fix a deal that has gone sour when buying from another eBay reseller.
Maybe they think we're all part of the same company? I don't know.
I did help a few last year, but I don't have enough time to run my own
business, let alone anyone else's.
It's a tough old market and it will teach the seller a lot about business,
should they choose to participate.
That Mary Chastain is pretty smart to have allowed use of her picture
of Lakeside Premier on eBay. IMO, she should insist, however, that
if the person is going to use the picture, there be a link back to her
web site. Otherwise, she's helping to cut her own sales. Now
if this person is a friend, a wannabe friend, or a wholesale customer,
then I suppose she can do as she pleases. But if for commercial purposes,
if she does this for one, doesn't she open up a can of worms of needing
to do this for others as well? Wowzer. I think I'd close that
Pandora's box while the disasterous effects are still containable.
It's an exciting world. Hosta la Vista!

Doctor Strange Parent Review
Amidst the violent depictions, this origin story provides a crash course on Doctor Strange, his strength and weakness, and the struggle required to overcome his challenges.
Movie Review
One more Marvel character is liberated from the confines of pen and ink in the cinematic release of Doctor Strange. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the surgeon who, if you can imagine, is played with even more pompous confidence than his characterization of Sherlock Holmes. Worse yet, Strange drives his Lamborghini with the same arrogant attitude. It's an activity that proves disastrous – and supplies the inciting incident for the egoist's transformation.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
When the doctor awakens after his accident, he discovers his hands are replete with steel pins and immediately complains about the medical team that tried to put him back together. His tirade only intensifies when his colleague and former lover, Dr. Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams), suggests his days in the operating room may be over. Unwilling to accept reality he exhausts his savings attempting to find a cure. When Western science fails him, he considers alternative treatments. Hearing of another man (Benjamin Bratt) with debilitating injuries that were inexplicably reversed, Dr. Strange heads to the source of the miracle—a Tibetan healer known as The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton).
Like all stories involving hubris, Eastern philosophy and bald spiritualists, our protagonist is going to get tossed about by his mentor and her assistant Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor). The former demonstrates her superior knowledge by literally knocking Strange's soul from his body so he can take a planetarium-on-steroids tour of the multiverse (warning for those with problems viewing 3D movies), while Mordo teaches cool tricks with sticks and creating sparkly portals with your hands. The student is a slow starter at first but, as expected, soon proves to have great potential. Also, as anticipated, long before Strange has really mastered the art of spell casting or the humility to be obedient to his teacher, he will be forced to lead the forces for good against an evil antagonist in the climactic battle that makes up the film's final act.
It will come as no surprise either that the greatest content concerns in this movie are the depictions of violence. It doesn't seem to matter how sophisticated the superpowers are, the story still typically boils down to people being hit, thrown, punched and stabbed with a variety of weapons (supernatural and otherwise) and an occasional fist. More exotic offensive tactics include being cuffed or whipped by fire-like bands of energy (the sparkly stuff mentioned earlier), crushed by buildings that fold over each other like a pop-up book (reminiscent of the special effects in Inception), trapped in parallel universes and a character who gets bricked into a wall. These frequent physical altercations are enhanced with sound effects. As well there are some explicit depictions of surgical procedures and injuries that are accompanied by ample blood.
Fortunately, the script offers some positive messages too, which may have some parents considering this action flick as a possible viewing choice for teens. While I have no idea what this protagonist's comic book legacy reveals, within the confines of this movie Doctor Strange demonstrates desirable growth in the areas of sacrifice and service. These messages are reinforced with reminders of the benefits of looking outward and seeking to help others, rather than dwelling on narcissistic tendencies and self-preservation. Depending on your perspective, other elements of this film may or may not be appealing. For example, Dr. Palmer demonstrates love and forgiveness toward her friend, yet she could also be accused of enabling his bad behavior and allowing herself to be a target of his verbal abuse.
Even for those of us who haven't studied the complete Marvel Comics canon, this origin movie is likely to please. The screen adaption provides a crash course on Doctor Strange and supplies enough information for the audience to appreciate the strength of character required for him to overcome the personal challenge he faces. However, I'm suspicious the next adventure with this peculiar physician may reveal his new found altruistic attitude will still require great effort to maintain.Directed by Scott Derrickson. Starring Rachel McAdams, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton . Running time: 115 minutes. Theatrical release November 4, 2016. Updated February 27, 2017

Doctor Strange Parents Guide
Doctor Strange has a large ego. Why does he feel this has helped him in the world of medicine? How well does his pride serve in the mythical multiverse? What does the Ancient One mean when she suggests his self-protection instincts are keeping him from a greater destiny? Could her advice apply to real world situations?

Read an Excerpt
What Color Is Your Parachute?
A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers
By Richard N. Bolles
Copyright © 2009
Richard N. Bolles
All right reserved.
Chapter One REJECTION SHOCK
Charles Dickens had it right. For some of us, this is the worst of times. Our house has been foreclosed, or seen its value drop dramatically. Fuel costs are killing us. Rice is scarce, and getting scarcer. Food prices are soaring. Businesses are folding. Companies are cutting their work force dramatically. Millions are out of work.
But there are others who are barely touched by any of this. They cannot understand what we are going through. 138,000,000 people still have jobs, in the U.S. Some of them, well-paying jobs. They are well off, and in some cases, have money to burn. For them, this is the best of times. They cannot understand our pain.
But we, when we are out of work, go looking for another job; but we, when we are finding it difficult to feed our families, go looking for a better-paying job. And that is when we run into the nature of the job-market, and the nature of the job-hunt. It isn't as easy as we thought it was going to be.
Tom Jackson has well characterized the nature of the job-hunt as one long process of rejection. In job-interview after job-interview, what some of us hear the employer say is:
Before we get to that final YES-or if we are lucky, two YESES, so that we have a choice-before we get there, the job-hunt is nothing but one long process of rejection. And we, so unprepared for this, go into a kind of Rejection Shock.
Naturally, we have questions.
I just lost my job. How many others are in the same predicament?
Well, you've got lots of company. As of April 2008, the number of people out of work totaled at least 7,800,000 individuals. And that's a government figure. In the U.S. there are always many more people out of work than the government will ever admit-regardless of which party is in power.
Will I need a computer and Internet access, to go about my job-hunt in this twenty-first century?
It's not mandatory, and if you don't have a computer, there are non-Internet job-hunting resources, of course. For example, if because you lack a computer you can't access "Job postings" by employers on the Internet, you can always look at the "Help Wanted Ads" in your local newspaper, especially the Sunday edition.
There are also regional papers devoted to nothing but job openings, such as Job-Dig which, at this writing, publishes fourteen local weekly newspapers in twelve states, mostly mid-western (from Minnesota down to Texas). A subscription for thirteen weeks costs job-hunters $65. Call 877-456-2344 to see whether or not there's a local paper covering your part of the country.
According to the latest figures, however, at least 71 percent of Americans use the Internet, which adds up to 216 million users. Others, of course, usually have a friend who can go on the Internet for them.
Moreover, if you know how to use a computer but just don't happen to own one at the moment, many public libraries as well as "Internet cafés" can let you use their computer for a fee. (To locate the Internet café nearest you, have a friend use his or her computer, to input your zip code into the comprehensive directory found at www.cybercaptive.com.)
In view of this virtual omnipresence of the computer in our culture now that we are firmly in the twenty-first century, I have freely listed job-hunting resources that are found only on the Internet throughout the rest of this guide.
What are the most helpful job sites on the Web?
For overall free guides to the entire job-hunt process, in addition to my own website, www.jobhuntersbible.com, there are seven sites you will find are the most comprehensive and helpful:
1. www.job-hunt.org, run by Susan Joyce.
2. www.jobstar.org, run by Mary Ellen Mort.
3. www.rileyguide.com, run by Margaret F. Dikel.
4. www.quintcareers.com, run by Dr. Randall Hansen.
5. www.cacareerzone.org, run by the California Career Resource Network. Once you are on the home page, it gives you a choice between running the site under Text, Graphic, or Flash. Choose Graphic.
6. www.asktheheadhunter.com, run by Nick Corcodilos.
7. www.indeed.com, run by a privately held company founded by Paul Forster and Rony Kahan, with the New York Times Company among its shareholders. This is the answer to a job-hunter's prayer. There are lots of "job-boards" out there, thousands in fact; these, if you don't know, are websites that list employers' job-postings, i.e., vacancies. Such postings are also to be found on employers' own company or organization sites. Want to look through every one of them? No, you don't. What you want is something that sweeps through all of them for you, and summarizes what it finds-in just one place. What you need is the site called Indeed (URL above). It is the most comprehensive job search service on the Web, as it "plucks" job listings from thousands of company websites, job boards, newspapers, and associations. It has a UK site, whose URL, not surprisingly, is www.indeed.co.uk.
My picture of the job-hunt during this computer age, is that you call up a search engine, like Indeed, and input the job-title you're looking for, and the geographical area you'd prefer, and by the next morning or within a few days at most, you're told there is a match. A match between your experience and skills, on the one hand, and what some employer is looking for, on the other hand, with a vacancy they're trying to fill.
Ah, you're exactly right. That's how it works, these days. There are thousands of testimonials from job-hunters who have used the Internet successfully, to find a match, and thence a job. But this job-matching doesn't work for every job-hunter. In fact, it doesn't work for the vast majority of job-hunters. (Ouch!)
Why not?
Well, job-matching works by using job-titles, and job-titles are, generally speaking, a big problem for the Internet. Well, not a big problem when you're looking for a job that has a simple title, such as "secretary," or "gardener," or "nurse," or "driver," or "waitress," or "mechanic," or "salesperson." Any of these should turn up a lot of matches.
But, you may be looking for a job that various employers call by differing titles, and that's an entirely different ballgame. If you guess wrongly what they call the job you're looking for, then you and those employers will be like two ships passing in the night, on the Internet high seas. Your faithful, hardworking computer will report back to you in the morning: "No matches," when in fact there actually are. You just didn't guess correctly what title those employers are using. Oops!
Another problem: you may be looking for a job-title that essentially has disappeared from the workforce. Over the centuries, our economy has moved from one largely based on agriculture, to one largely based on manufacturing, to one largely based on information and services. As each transition has occurred, certain job-titles have essentially disappeared from the workforce, and in large numbers. Oh, they're still around, but in such small numbers that no one tells the Internet. "Blacksmith" is one example that comes to mind. There are blacksmiths, still; I happen to know of one of them. But I wouldn't count on the Internet turning up many matches, if any, with this title. The same fate generally awaits job-titles with the old words "assembly line" and "manufacturing" in them. As John McCain truthfully told Michigan voters during the Republican primaries in early 2008, "those jobs aren't coming back."
Finally, job-titles are a problem for an Internet search because a particular search program on the Internet may depend completely on beginning with a prepared list of job-titles that you are required to choose from, and in the interests of space and speed their menu may only offer you a choice between two dozen or so job-titles, which does not come even close to mentioning all the possibilities; i.e., the 20,000 job-titles that are out there in the workforce-including, of course, the one that you are searching for, in particular.
So sure, Internet job-matching works. Sometimes. Beautifully. You must try it, using Indeed, or a general search engine such as Google, or Metacrawler. Input anything or everything you can think of to describe what you are looking for.
But know ahead of time that you can't count on it necessarily working for You. In the end, it's a big fat gamble. And not at all the sure thing that so-called experts would have you think it is.
So, how many job-hunters who try to find a match, fail to find a match, on the Internet?
There are various answers to that question. Take your pick: (1) Lots and lots. (2) 90 percent. Some studies have indicated that about 90 percent of those seeking a match, on the Internet, fail to find it. (3)? Big fat question mark. Studies are notoriously unreliable, so-in the end-we don't really know. We're just left with "lots and lots."
So, if you realize that Internet job-matching is a big, fat gamble, that's all you really need to know.
Oh, and one more thing. Know this: it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, if the Internet can't match you up with a job. The problem is the system itself.
Well then, given all this, how long should I expect to be out of work?
This varies, hugely, due to a number of variables: what kind of work you're looking for, what part of the country you live in, the state of the industry, how old you are or how young you are, and-above all else-how you're going about your job hunt.
But you need to be prepared for the fact that your job-hunt might last nineteen weeks or more. In fact, as of the date I am writing (May 1, 2008), 1,300,000 people in the U.S. had been looking for work for twenty-seven weeks or more. It's possible that you'll find work sooner; but you've got to be prepared for the fact that you may not.
Okay, if there's a chance that my job-hunt may take much longer than I expected, what's the first thing I should do?
Sleep. Catch up on your sleep. You're kidding. No, I'm not. Overall, you would be wise to think of your job-hunt as an endurance contest, analogous to running a marathon. Especially if it does last nineteen weeks or longer. You need to start training, before you "run" this endurance contest.
Experience teaches us that you should begin by drawing down your "sleep deficit." You've probably got one. Chances are, that up until recently you've been working long hours, trying desperately to survive, so now your body and your brain are at the point of exhaustion, without you even noticing.
The last thing you want to do, is to launch yourself into a long job-hunt when you're this tired. So, let it be your first goal to catch up on your sleep, in order that your body and mind can be working at optimum condition as you set out on your job-hunt. You will think more clearly, and make better decisions, if you're not so tired. For guidance about how much and how long, see www.medicinenet.com/sleep/article.htm.
But I haven't time to catch up on my sleep. Yes, you do. You've probably got nineteen weeks ahead of you. Relax. Start sensibly. Begin by catching up.
Many of us are also helped by a fifteen- to thirty-minute nap during midday, after lunch. It helps keep stress down. I had an aunt who started taking naps at the age of thirty-two, and lived 'til she was ninety-seven. Maybe we humans weren't made to go from wake-up until bedtime, all on one big gulp of sleep. Break the sixteen hours in half. There is wisdom to be learned from countries that have siestas. See http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/Siesta.
Exercise. The tendency, after you've unexpectedly lost your job, is to curl up in a little ball, assume the fetal position, and turn the electric-blanket up to "9." But job-hunting requires that you get out there. So, begin a regular regimen of daily walking, starting now, even if it's only down to the main road, and back, at first. You can increase the distance, after you've increased your stamina a bit.
Water. And, while you're at it, I know you have enough sense to watch your diet while you're out of work. Eating your way out of feeling low is a real temptation; but putting on, oh, say, one hundred more pounds won't make you look so hot when it comes to the job interview. That's pretty obvious. Not so obvious is your body's need for water. Not "fluids," like coffee, tea, or cola, but actual "water." A lot of things can go wrong with the human body if it gets dehydrated without your even noticing. Believe me, you do not want to be sick while you're job-hunting. If you want to get more guidance about this, see www.watercure .com/faq.html.
"Possibly nineteen weeks or more" is very bad news for me. I'm in a precarious state financially, right now. Where can I go for help with my expenses during my job-hunt?
Unemployment insurance. You probably know all this, but just in case you don't: these are cash benefits that run for a certain number of months while you are unemployed, and are available in the U.S. from your state government, if you regularly report in to them, on how your job-hunt is going. To learn how to apply, go to your computer (or to a computer at your local library, if you don't personally own one) and type the following two pieces of information into your Internet browser (such as Google or Metacrawler): the name of your state, plus the words "unemployment insurance benefits." Once on site, look for the words "unemployment benefits." Or, go to: www.rileyguide .com/claims.html. Free.
(Naturally, greed being what it is, you will find some enterprising souls have put up websites promising that for a fee they will help you file for unemployment benefits. You picture someone sitting down beside you, and helping you fill out the application form, line by line. And maybe showing you the secret of collecting some big bucks. Right? Unfortunately, their "help" is just a booklet, for which they'll charge you around ten bucks, irrevocably ["We do not refund payment for any ... reason"]-after they first get you to cough up all your personal information. [On the pretext of tailoring their program to your special needs!] All they will then do is send or let you download that booklet [their "program"] telling you how to go file, yourself.
Oh, please!! You can get the same information, and better, costing you absolutely nothing, by just using your Internet browser, as I described above.)
Food stamps. To see if you are eligible for help go to: www .fns.usda.gov/fsp/applicant_recipients/10steps .htm. This is from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and is titled: "10 Steps to Help You Fill Your Grocery Bag Through the Food Stamp Program: Learn If You or Someone You Know Might Be Eligible for Food Stamps."
How do I find health insurance when I am sort of on my own?
Thanks to the Internet, there are several places you can turn to, for information and help:
1. www.healthinsuranceinfo.net. A site, maintained by the Georgetown Health Policy Institute. Chock full of information. Very comprehensive.
2. www.ehealthinsurance.com. It allows individuals to compare policies from different providers, and then purchase the one they like the best. It serves all States, except Maine, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
3. www.freelancersunion.org. You need to work in one of the occupations served by this union; it is for independent workers or consultants. But browse the site, and see.
Even after all this, I'm still having a really hard time financially. I'm falling behind in paying my bills. I feel like I'm drowning. What can I do?
You have several choices:
a. Get a temporary job: one you hate but it brings in money.
b. Get some financial counseling: to stretch what resources you do have.
c. Move back home temporarily: if your parents invite you to.
Let's start with the last one, first. Moving back home, with our parents, has long been a popular strategy for young adults just out of college, who can't find a job. But, in hard times it becomes more and more common even with people who are already in their thirties, forties, or fifties.

The Third Princess: Part Three
Derek was a year my senior at thirteen, and even though his parents and I knew that he was still a child, he thought being thirteen made him a man. He would walk around, trying to imitate his father's commanding walk, which would only result in him falling and making me laugh. Derek was a little taller than me, with thick black hair that refused to stay in anything resembling order, which drove his mother crazy. His eyes were blue, like the sky right before sunrise. Derek wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become the Queen's Champion and head assassin, which meant he had to go through lots of training. And since he was my friend and I was the princess, I would disrupt his practices and drag him away to play. The head of the training grounds would shake his head and laugh and say things about that mysterious phrase "marriage when they're old enough."
Derek was where I thought he'd be, on the training grounds holding some weapon or other such item. Today, he was wielding a practice lance, trying to unseat a straw dummy on a wooden horse that went around in circles on a track. Derek hadn't unseated the dummy yet, I could tell by the frustrated way he kept pushing back his helmet. That was the problem, the armor the trainer had him in was too big. And I was going to go correct him, because the sooner Derek unseated the dummy, the sooner he'd be willing to let me disrupt his practices to go play. I skipped down the stone path in-between training fields to the mock jousting arena where the wooden horse "galloped" around the track again, with the straw dummy still sitting on his back.
"His helmet's too big for him," I sang out as soon as I was in earshot of the man controlling the wooden horse. The wheel that moved the horse's track stopped and the operator stepped out of the booth.
"Hello, Alyessia," mumbled Derek. "I don't want to play right now."
I smiled and stood on my toes so I could reach his head to take off his helmet. "I know that, silly boy. I've come to make sure you can protect me if I get to become queen."
Derek laughed. "Your mother could pick you, and if she did, I'd be the best champion any queen's ever had!"
In Aquebonica, the king or queen picked their successor from their children based on who they thought was capable of ruling a kingdom.
I put my hands on my hips and my green eyes darted between the straw dummy and Derek's lance. "I don't know, that straw man seems like he hasn't left his horse yet."
The operator nodded. "Derek hasn't unseated him yet."
Derek glared at the man. "That's because I couldn't concentrate." He grabbed his helmet.
"No, try it without," I said as I took it from him and danced backwards a few steps. He rolled his eyes and shrugged, but gripped his lance tighter and returned to his spot. The operator walked back into the small hut where the controls for the horse were. The horse started up again started moving down the track toward Derek. He tightened his grip on the heavy practice lance and waited for the right moment to move. When the horse was a few feet away, he rammed the padded tip of the lance into the straw man's stomach, unseating him as the horse continued down the track and back again. Derek stared at the straw man on the ground, and then back up at me.
He grinned. "Alyessia, you must be a good luck charm! I couldn't knock him down until you came to watch."
I laughed. "No, it was because your helmet was too big and it was distracting you."
The operator came and took the helmet from me and walked away to wipe it down, with the same smile all adults got whenever Derek and I were talking together.
"Then when I'm Queen's Champion, I shall never fight with a helmet on."
I smiled. "Now that you've unseated your opponent, can we go play?"
Derek nodded and we raced to the pond.

I cannot ever be truly free,
If you are not here, right next to me.
My mind is free to wander, it's true,
But will never travel far from you.
You are my essence, my love, my life,
You are my only reason for strife.
It's in your nature to be untamed,
And so, for now, you shall be unnamed.
