Mark Wallis
Specialty: Life and Work of George Orwell
Appeared: Episode 18, 08/06/2008
1950 points
Mark is a Teacher from Whyalla Norrie in South Australia who enjoys reading and writing and aspires to one day live in an utopian society.
- Apart from his adopted name, George Orwell had a number of other pseudonyms including P.S. Burton, Kenneth Miles and H. Lewis Allways.
- He engaged in a wide range of occupations such as a dishwasher, tramp, policeman, journalist, soldier, teacher and writer.
- Orwell had a phobia of rats. This was reinforced when he was fighting for the Republicans against Francos Fascists in the Spanish Civil War. In attempting to sleep in the trenches at night, he was often kept awake by rats crawling over him.
- He had a love of the English country-side and animals. He had a dog called Marx and a goat called Muriel. Both animals appeared in different contexts in his novel Animal Farm.
- Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind (Orwell 1946). Some of his expressions have become part of our language, such as Big brother, doublethink, newspeak, and Orwellian.

I have mid length blonde 3a curls, and in my school that's rare to come by where I live-I'm the only one with hair like mine
so naturally I've been called Taylor Swift, and I get that a lot. Also people have compared me to Lucie Manette from A Tale of Two Cities and Juliet from Romeo and Juliet when we read those books in school. When I'm having a good hair day, people never hesitate to compliment (once I got 10 in one day!) and I'm always very grateful, I find every comment so sweet!

How to Make Crepes
Crepe-a-licious! Turn your kitchen into a creperie with this simple technique and 5 delicious fillings.
Despite their gourmet-sounding French name, crepes originated as a peasant dish in rural Brittany. Today, they're just as easy and arguably healthier than American flapjacks. Our Sausage & Applesauce Brunch Crepes have 347 calories and 4 grams saturated fat per serving compared to 677 calories and 10 grams sat. fat in a short stack of butter and syrup-drenched pancakes with a side of sausage.
To get started, make a batch of crepes and try them as a snack with just a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar—as they're often served in France. Once you see how easy they are to make, experiment with different fillings. Try our Sweetened Ricotta & Apricot Crepes—filled with lightly sweetened ricotta, sliced almonds and an apricot drizzle. Or try one of our savory options, like our Mushroom & Spinach Crepes topped with goat cheese. And don't be afraid to experiment: fllled with almost anything, crepes make an easy meal that even the fussiest eaters can't resist.

A student at another state school, the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, this troubled young man had gone off his medication. He grew up in that college town, was one of what we would have called, the Champaign "townies."
The campus police today said that he was a top-notch student, not a disturbed student. No one could have seen this coming. He gave no prior warnings.
The details will role in, and again, we'll be glued to the the television, captivated by senseless violence. Well, I will.
The university police said that there was nothing they could have done to prevent this from happening. He had been a student previously in Dekalb with no obvious problems. And even in Champaign, he gave no warning, no cry for help.
No warning.
I just want to say that in Israel, one does not enter a university or other public building, not even a large grocery store, without passing through metal detectors. Most guns are made out of metal, you see.
So when they say,
There's nothing we could have done to prevent this. We had no warning.They're wrong. And short-sighted.

I have had husky floor liners before and have always found them high quality. This is the first time I bought weather beater style, which fit perfectly in my Mercdes ML350 and are designed with an edge to capture water and mud. Im a skier and get a lot of snow and mud in my car this should work great. Previously i have bought the heavy rubber style husky mats, which i prefer if i dont need to protect from snow melting. The mat for the trunk seemed a little overpriced,

Target: Owner of GuZoo Animal Farm, Lynn Gustafson
Goal: Immediately cease cruel abuses toward animals at the zoo, and meet all safety and animal welfare standards
Recently, an anonymous whistleblower released numerous photos and video depicting horrific living conditions for animals at the GuZoo Animal Farm in Alberta, Canada. The images reveal disturbing abuses such as severely neglected cages covered with animal waste, unsanitary food preparation areas, food contaminated with maggots and "a huge pile of garbage complete with the dead bodies of zoo animals and dogs." The footage has provoked public outrage and brought the already controversial zoo back into the spotlight.
The GuZoo Animal Farm has been a source of concern regarding animal welfare ever since it opened in 1990. The facility has consistently fallen short of safety and welfare standards and has been accused of "illegal possession and trafficking of exotic animals," according to reports by the Concerned Albertans for Animal Welfare and Public Safety. In addition to these violations, the GuZoo Animal Farm has allegedly allowed unsafe interaction between animals and zoo patrons, as well as injuries to animals, and has faced criticisms concerning mysterious animal deaths, bodies left to rot in cages, escaped animals and insufficient shelters and cages.
After repeatedly failing to comply with safety standards, the GuZoo Animal Farm was officially decommissioned in 2011, but the ruling was overturned and the zoo was allowed to remain open to the public. The zoo's owner, Lynn Gustafson, has not attempted to justify the horrific findings of the recent footage, but has expressed anger toward activists who have been attempting to close the zoo. Furthermore, Gustafson commented that some disturbing images from the video, such as the pile of dead animal carcasses, could also be found at other zoos in the area, naming the Calgary Zoo as one example. He also admitted that the zoo kills dogs when homes for them cannot be found. These attempts to reconcile the horrific conditions at GuZoo Animal Farm do not hold up, however, as they do not excuse the numerous abuses that apparently take place there.
Demand that the abuses and cruel animal suffering at the GuZoo Animal Farm be stopped immediately. Urge the owner, Lynn Gustafson, to either meet all safety and animal welfare standards, or else call for the immediate closure of this horrific zoo.
Dear Lynn Gustafson,
The repeated abuses that have been discovered at the GuZoo Animal Farm are both horrifying and contemptible. The recent footage showing poor living conditions, unsafe food practices and numerous dead animals is, sadly, only another instance of similar abuse that has been prevalent at this zoo since its opening. In the past two decades, GuZoo Animal Farm has faced continual complaints regarding the safety and welfare of its animals, including unexplained injuries and deaths, illness, illegal animal possession and exotic animal trafficking, among other violations.
The repeated abuse of animals at the GuZoo Animal Farm must stop. These animals are helpless to defend themselves, and are at the mercy of the owner and employees. Animal cruelty is never excusable, and the GuZoo Animal Farm is no exception.
I strongly urge you to immediately cease all animal abuse at the zoo. If permit standards cannot be met, the facility must be shut down.

Revive DNA Cream
You can slow down and REVERSE the signs of aging… and now, it's easier than ever!
The secret lies in a genetic structure called the telomere – a part of your DNA. It's the mechanism that controls how young your cells act.
Here's how it works: Each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. The shorter they get, the more your skin cells age. This produces older-looking skin, and everything that goes with it.
Revive DNA Rejuvenation Cream helps you maintain your telomeres. And Revive just got even more powerful, with two new telomere protectors! These powerful ingredients –astragalus and baicalin – give you an easier and faster way to dramatically reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and age spots…

Revive's powerful ingredients include:

- Baicalin, which can increase the active youth span of your skin cells by as much as 10%, making your skin act and feel years younger in a very short time
- Hyaluronic Acid, with the amazing ability to absorb around 1,000 times its weight in water, plumping up your skin and enhancing both volume and elasticity to restore a youthful balance to your face
- Squalene, the pure essential oil with a powerful hydrating action that soaks into the deepest layer of your skin for the most protection. At the same time, it produces a barrier against water loss. It restores moisture and suppleness to your face reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Plus astragalus, the youth-enhancing antioxidant, and other pure, beneficial ingredients designed to help your skin hold moisture, retain its youthful look and give you the smoothest-looking, most natural appearance you can possibly have.
What you won't find are any parabens, carcinogens, pollutants, or gasoline distillates of any kind like you often find in commercial creams and serums … you'll find only the finest, purest, most natural ingredients in every Pure Radiance product, not just in Revive.
When you use Revive, you can rest assured that every single ingredient is hand-selected to provide a healthy, vibrant look to your skin…

The second-coldest March on record deterred Britons from shopping last month, and keeps alive the possibility the UK has slipped into an unprecedented triple-dip recession.
Retail sales in March were down 0.5% on the same month in 2012, according to the Office for National Statistics, worse than City analysts' expectations of a 0.2% decline. Clothing and shoe sales were down 3.9% year on year. Household goods sales were 6.2% lower. The ONS reported that department stores and the High Street were hit hard by the freezing weather.
Retail sales growth of 2.5% in February had bolstered hopes Britain would avoid a second successive GDP contraction in the first quarter of 2013. But March's decline takes the sector's performance over the first three months of the year down to just 0.4% growth. Some analysts warned muted retail expansion, combined with weakness in manufacturing and construction, should temper optimism of Britain avoiding another contraction.

There are more than a few Tebow blogs out there, and the most publicized is Dan Shanoff's TimTeblog. Today Mr. Shanoff has celebrated his 500th post on Tebow, and we happily celebrate his milestone, because as Christians and Gators, we think Mr. Shanoff finally gets it.
He also has a good recap of Tebow's play against the Seminoles, so check it out too.
And for the record, we think Shanoff and the TimTeblog are alright, we just don't get the interpretations of the game day eye black. They are what they are, we think they speak for themselves.
And also for the record, we made the very same assertion regarding Tebow's legacy back on Aug. 9.

More Flat Towing ??????
OK- I'm sure by now this has been covered somewhere, but I've searched the Michigan SOS for hours on the subject and didn't see much that related to the leagalities with towing with a tow bar in this area.
Here's the details:
I want to trailer my ZJ up to Silver lake for camping, duning, wheeling on some of the trails. I would plate an insure it, but I know for a fact that I'm just going to get hassled by the local authorities (ie wheel coverage, lift laws, ect...)
I don't want to have to load and unload that puppy every time I want to hit the trails and dealing with the voucher system with a trailer sucks.
I was thinking about fabbing up a tow bar so one of the others in my group can tow me (25 MPH max) from the campground to the dunes or the trails and be dune ready. (like less than a mile)
I see guys do it all of the time with dune buggies, quads, ect... and they really started cracking down (read: ticketing) people for using tow straps.
Is this leagal to do as long as the towing vehicle is plated and insured ect ect...????
Thanks for any imput you can offer on the subject

Marriott International has announced the addition of six new properties to its Middle East/Africa pipeline of 37 previously-announced hotels. They represent three of Marriott's lodging brands serving the luxury, upper-moderately priced and extended-stay travel segments.
Included is the first Residence Inn by Marriott-branded property for extended-stay travelers in the Middle East, which opens in suburban Manama, Bahrain later this year. When all 43 hotels now under development or construction open by 2016, Marriott International will offer consumers 74 hotels and resorts and more than 17,600 rooms across seven lodging brands in the Middle East and Africa.
"Despite recent economic and political uncertainties in the Middle East and the northern tier of Africa, our development opportunities in the region remain strong," said Ed Fuller, president and managing director for international lodging. "These new hotels are expected to open over the next five years and will be perfectly positioned to help accommodate the nearly 90 million travelers that the World Travel and Tourism Council estimates will visit the region annually by 2016. Today, the Middle East welcomes approximately 68 million visitors each year."
Mr. Fuller said that Marriott continues to aggressively explore attractive expansion opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa and expects to announce projects later this year in countries like South Africa, Mauritius, Tanzania, Angola, Nigeria and Benin. "The region has enormous tourism potential and we plan to play an important role in its development," he said, adding that Marriott's first two projects in sub-Saharan Africa are expected to open in Accra and Kigali next year.
Announced are the following hotels:
- 335-room Courtyard by Marriott Cairo Mirage City. The hotel is owned by Golf Hotels Corporation and is expected to open in 2012 as the first upper-moderately priced Courtyard by Marriott property in Egypt.
- 495-room The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh. Owned by The Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this luxury hotel is scheduled to open in 2011 as the first Ritz-Carlton hotel in Saudi Arabia.
- 78-unit Residence Inn by Marriott Juffair in suburban Manama, Bahrain. Owned by International Trading and Investment Co., W.L.L., the property opens later this year as the first Residence Inn for extended-stay travelers in the Middle East.
- 120-room The Ritz-Carlton Rabat Hotel. Owned by Sienna Investment Group, this luxury hotel is expected to open in 2013.
- 247-room Courtyard by Marriott Algiers. Owned by Trust Real Estate SPA, this upper-moderately-priced property is scheduled to open in 2014 and will be the first Courtyard property in Algeria.
- 147-unit Residence Inn by Marriott Algiers. Owned by Trust Real Estate SPA, this property is expected to open in 2014 as the third Residence Inn in the region.

Maximum likelihood estimator
Does anyone happen to have code for a general maximum likelihood
estimator (e.g., one that returns a precision matrix)? This is on my
wish list for Mathematica. Each time I need one I end up coding one for a
specific problem. Before I attempt to generalize it, I thought I might
make an inquiry on the list.
Thank you.

We all want the opportunity to have a little more cash in our pockets. With the current economic situation the number of people who have chosen to play the lottery in the US has increased. However unlike other countries there is actually no national lottery which citizens of the USA can participate in. Instead they have lotteries that the various states allow them to participate in instead.
Generally the kinds of lotteries that we can participate in today are where a fixed percentage of the receipts received are then given back to those whose numbers are drawn. One large amount of these receipts will be provided to those whose numbers match exactly those that are drawn. Then smaller amounts of the money collected initially will then be given to those who have some but not all of the numbers that were drawn. In most cases today around 50% of the total receipts collected will then be paid out to those who find that they have won.
For quite some time when the lotteries first began people were given numbers. However, over the years changes have occurred and as a result we have the opportunity to select our own numbers if we wish. Plus of course there is still the option when you purchase your tickets of letting the machine from which the ticket is to be produced to select the numbers for you. This is often referred to as a lucky dip ticket and the number of people who have actually found themselves receiving the jackpot because of this method has been quite high.
But if you would prefer not to rely on these machines to provide you with the best numbers possible there are numerous websites that have a number generator feature that you can use. With these sites including lottery.com they will provide you with several options on how your lucky numbers will be chosen for you. They will either select numbers that are being drawn regularly or ones that don't get drawn so often. Of course you could put in personal dates such as your birthday and they will select numbers then that relate to these for you.
As well as these websites of course helping you to find your lucky numbers they will also help you to track how they are doing. After selection of the numbers has been made you simply need to put these into the tracking feature and every time the draw takes place you will be informed as to how your numbers are doing. So should you wish to change any of them in the future as they don't seem to be performing as well as you hoped you can.
When it comes to the possibility of us winning the main prize (jackpot) there are a number of factors that can have an effect of whether we holding the winning ones or not. Of course if you opt for choosing numbers that are drawn more frequently then there is a greater chance of you winning even a small amount of money each week. However, the odds of you winning the main prize is around 1 in 14 million.
In fact to further increase the odds of you actually winning the jackpot you would need to buy a ticket every second each day for a whole year. If you were to do this then you could actually find yourself winning this prize 2.25 times in that year. But of course think about how much you would need to spend in order to then be rewarded with winning the jackpot.
As already mentioned above although there is no National Lottery that one can participate in the USA, the method in which the jackpot winnings are paid to them is no different from those countries that do have these kinds of lotteries. If someone is lucky enough to have the exact numbers drawn and so win the jackpot they can either choose to have the money paid as a one off lump sum or they get paid a sum each year from it.
If we were to choose the one off payment then you need to understand that the sum actually presented to us would be much less than the actual jackpot figure. In many cases the total amount that a person who chooses to claim their money in this way would expect to receive is around 1/3 of the actual jackpot. So for example if the jackpot was worth around $300 million then of course they would only expect to receive $100 million, yet this isn't a sum that should be sneezed at. The reason for the sum being so much smaller is that the person will be expected to pay taxes on the amount that was originally won.
However, if you choose the other option where you receive regular payments each year then of course you can expect to be keeping a large portion of the jackpot. In most cases those that opt to go for this method of payment will find that they receive the payments over a 10 to 40 year period.
Although the USA may not have a national lottery with state run ones there is a greater opportunity for more of us to see our dreams being fulfilled. In fact there is a greater chance of us reaping the awards especially if we don't limit ourselves to playing the lotteries in the state where we live.

Gum Graft or Gum Rejuvenation
Soft tissue grafts are performed to treat gum disease, or correct damaged gum tissue. A tooth with receded gum line is prone to root decay, and furhter bone and tissue loss.
Pinhole technique for treatment of gum recession eliminates the traditional incision in the roof of the mouth and cutting the gum. A small hole allows for repositioning the gum and the regenrative material lifts the gum while the new tissue is forming.
The traditional procedure involves taking gum tissue from the palate or another donor source to cover an exposed root in order to even the gum line and reduce sensitivity.
Periodontal procedures are available to stop further dental problems and gum recession, and to improve the esthetics of your gum line. For example, an exposed tooth root resulting from gum recession may not be causing you pain or sensitivity, but is causing one or more of your teeth to look longer than the others. In other cases, an exposed tooth root causes severe pain because it is exposed to extremes in temperatures or different kinds of food and liquids. Lastly, the root portion of the tooth is more likely to decay.
Once contributing factors are controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will repair the defect and help to prevent additional recession and bone loss.

As the name implies, antidepressants were initially used for the treatment of depression. It soon became evident, however, that in addition to improving one's mood, antidepressants had an anti-panic and anti-anxiety effect on those with anxiety-related problems. Today, antidepressants are the usual choice of medication intervention for anxiety disorders, including panic disorder.

How do Antidepressants Work?

It is believed that the brain contains several hundred different types of chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that act as communication agents between different brain cells. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is important in modulating a variety of body functions and feelings, including our mood. Low serotonin levels have been linked to certain mood disorders and panic disorder. Antidepressants are believed to increase the level of serotonin in the brain. The result is a better mood and less anxiety.

Common classes of antidepressants used to treat anxiety-related disorders include:

SSRIs

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a fairly new class of antidepressants. In 1987, Prozac (fluoxetine), manufactured by Ely Lilly Company, was the first SSRI to enter the U.S. market as an approved treatment for depression. Since then, numerous other SSRIs have emerged and their proven effectiveness have gone beyond the treatment of depression. SSRIs have been useful in treating many anxiety-related illnesses including panic disorder and are usually the first choice of medication intervention prescribed for PD treatment. Other commonly prescribed SSRIs include:

Zoloft (sertraline)

Celexa (citalopram)

Paxil (paroxetine)

TCAs

Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are named after the drugs' "three ringed" molecular structure. Prior to the introduction of SSRIs, TCAs were the medication of choice for the treatment of major depressive disorder, panic disorder and other anxiety disorders. TCAs are also used to treat certain pain syndromes and nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting).

Similar to SSRIs, TCAs impact serotonin levels. Additionally, TCA's impact norepinephrine, which is a neurotransmitter known to influence the fight-or-flight stress response. Some common TCAs include:

Tofranil (imipramine)

Elavil (amitriptyline)

Norpramin (desipramine)

MAOIs

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of antidepressants that were developed in the 1950s. They are effective in treating depression, panic disorder, and other anxiety disorders. Although they are generally as effective as SSRIs and TCAs, they are used less frequently because of necessary dietary precautions and risks of adverse reactions when mixed with certain drugs.

Much like TCAs, MAOIs affect serotonin and norepinephrine. However, MAOIs also work to balance levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is associated with energy levels and motivation. Some common MAOIs include:

Parnate (tranylcypromine)

Nardil (phenelzine)

Marplan (isocarboxazid)

Side Effects of Antidepressants

One attraction of SSRIs is that they are believed to be safer and produce fewer unwanted side effects than other classes of antidepressants. But any antidepressant, including SSRIs, can cause some side effect complications, especially during the beginning of treatment.

Some common side effects of antidepressant use include:

Nausea

Sexual dysfunction, including reduced desire or orgasm difficulties

Headache

Stomach upset

Nervousness

Weight gain

Drowsiness

Insomnia

Some of these side effects will be eliminated after your body adjusts to the medication. If they don't and are bothersome, your doctor may try another antidepressant. Although each class of antidepressants function by a similar mode of action, individually they are different.

Antidepressants and Suicide

The association of increased suicidal thoughts, especially among adolescents with antidepressant treatment, has been a center of attention and controversy in recent years. In response to the concerns suggested in case studies and some research, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement in 2007. The FDA proposed that makers of all antidepressant medications indicate a warning on their products about a possible increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in young adults, ages 18 to 24, during initial treatment.

So far, researchers have not found a definitive answer about the antidepressant-suicide connection. For the majority of people, antidepressants decrease depression and alleviate the helplessness and hopelessness that consumes their daily existence. But, for a small percentage of people taking antidepressants, this may not be the case. If you are concerned about this issue, be open with your doctor and don't be afraid to ask questions.

On the 'Road' to fame The Courier-News A Chicago Sun Times Publication By: Dave Gathman - October 5, 2011
ST. CHARLES — Last week, the locally-made scary movie "Munger Road" was the talk of the town in St. Charles. After 6,000-plus young moviegoers jammed the Classic Charlestowne 18 Cinemas to see it over the weekend, this first film directed and written by 26-year-old St. Charles native Nick Smith is the talk of the town in Hollywood.
Nothing impresses the film world's movers and shakers like cash flowing in. And when last weekend's ticket sales were added up by Rentrack — a paid-subscription service that monitors box office receipts for the entertainment industry — the company's charts showed that "Munger Road" had brought in more ticket-sales money per screen the movie was playing on than any other movie playing anywhere in the United States.
Of course, Charlestowne 18 was the only theater playing it, and only on two screens there. But it also ranked as the 10th highest-grossing "engagement" — one theater showing one movie on any number of screens — in the country, even though Charlestowne's $8 adult admission price is well below the $11-and-up charged in some big cities.
As a result, Smith said Wednesday, he received a call from an executive at Universal Pictures, and it's possible that "Munger Road" will be released nationwide on Halloween weekend. It also will open at eight more theaters on Friday, including the Marcus Elgin, the South Barrington 30, the Regal Cantera in Warrenville and the Randall 16 in Batavia. It will open across the Chicago area on Oct. 14.
And stars Bruce Davison, Randall Batinkoff and Trevor Morgan will make periodic personal appearances at St. Charles' Scarecrow Fest on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
"It was the talk of the industry Monday," said Chris Johnson, vice president of Tivoli Classic Cinemas, which owns Charlestowne 18. "This was amazing for a movie of this type. For every success like this, there are probably 5,000" small-budget films made by inexperienced young directors "that just don't make it."
Johnson said "Munger Road" accounted for half of all tickets sold at Charlestowne 18 last weekend, and many showings sold out. Its $36,000 per-screen average compared with perhaps $10,000 per screen for a typical hit from Hollywood.
Scarecrow Fest plays a role in the movie's plot — as does a legend spread among teenagers that a railway crossing on the real Munger Road in Bartlett is haunted by the ghosts of children killed in a train-bus accident (which apparently never really happened).
In the movie, four teenagers are stranded for hours along the desolate road after they go there to test out the ghost story and their SUV mysteriously stalls.
In a parallel plot line set back in downtown St. Charles, the city's top-ranking police officers search for an escaped serial killer and try to hush up that threat lest they scare away crowds from the upcoming festival.
In a style more reminiscent of Hitchcock than torture-porn, Smith relies mainly on sounds, music and off-screen violence to scare his audience and build suspense. Gore is almost nonexistent. The eerie, bass-heavy soundtrack was written by 31-year-old composer Wojciech Golczewski, who lives in Poland but saw Smith's request for musical submissions online.
A three-star review from super-critic Roger Ebert didn't hurt any. But probably playing bigger roles in spreading the word about "Munger Road" were Internet chatter and word of mouth. On www.mungerroad.com, dozens of teens and former teens recount their visits to the real railroad crossing and the various ghost legends they have heard.
Smith said one questionable bit of history in the movie — that downtown St. Charles contains long-forgotten tunnels used by 1920s bootleggers and possibly by 1850s Underground Railroaders — is more than a legend. "I have a map of the real tunnels, and they do go under the Hotel Baker and under the river," he said.
But he said the scenes filmed in these tunnels actually were shot on an artificially constructed set.
The film's surprise ending shouts out for a sequel, and Smith said he already has written one. When Part Two will be filmed has not yet been set, he said.
But judging by Part One's success so far, it probably will be filmed.

Types of Trusts
Locate a Local Finance Lawyer
What Is a Trust?
A "trust" is a legal arrangement, typically used in estate planning, in which a property interest is held by one person (the "trustee") at the request of another person (the "settlor") for the benefit of a third person (the "beneficiary").
Trusts are extremely flexible and do not require many of the old-fashioned formalities still necessary to draft a will, or the added trouble of having the estate go through probate. For this reason, trusts are actually the most widely used estate planning tool.
What Are Some Common Types of Trusts?
Trusts come in a variety of forms and can be established in many different situations. The most common forms of trusts include:
- Asset Protection Trust: A trust designed specifically to protect assets from the settlor's creditors.
- Bypass (or AB) Trust: A trust created to allow one spouse to leave money to the other. Bypass Trusts limit the amount of federal estate tax that would be payable on the death of the second spouse.
- Charitable Trust: A trust established to benefit a particular charity or the public. Charitable Trusts are often used to lower or avoid imposition of federal estate and gift taxes.
- Clifford (or Short-Term) Trust: An irrevocable trust set up for at least 10 years and one day, where the income from the trust property is paid to the beneficiary, but the property itself reverts back to the settlor when the trust expires.
- Crummey Trust: A trust that gives the trustee power to distribute or accumulate trust income and the beneficiaries the right to withdraw an amount up to the annual gift tax exclusion within a reasonable time following deposit. Crummey Trusts are often used when the beneficiaries are minors, but unlike other trusts does not grant a right total access upon the beneficiary reaching a certain age.
- Custodial Trust: A revocable trust that names a custodial trustee to manage the assets of an incapacitated or disabled beneficiary.
- Discretionary Trust: A trust that delegates discretion to the trustee to decide when and how to distribute trust assets to the beneficiary. Discretionary Trusts do not set up fixed distributions, but provide general guidelines for the trustee.
- Dynasty Trust: A generation-skipping trust designed to minimize taxation of great family wealth as it is passed on to subsequent generations. Well-defined distributions to each generation allow for bypass of estate taxes and Dynasty Trusts are inaccessible to creditors.
- Implied Trust: A trust imposed by a court as an equitable remedy, usually to return property that was unlawfully obtained (Constructive Trust) or erroneously transferred (Resulting Trust) back to the settlor.
- Irrevocable Trust: A trust that cannot be altered or terminated by the settlor once created. In most states, trusts are presumed irrevocable unless otherwise stated.
- Land Trust: A land-ownership arrangement where the trustee holds title to the land and the beneficiary has the power to direct the trustee, manage the property, and draw income from the trust.
- Living (or Inter Vivos) Trust: A trust that is created and takes effect during the settlor's lifetime. Often these trusts are designed to be "revocable," so that the settlor maintains the ability to remove property from the trust during his lifetime.
- Pooled Trust: A trust arrangement where multiple beneficiaries "pool" together their trust resources into an umbrella trust account for investment purposes. Each beneficiary maintains access to their own funds through a "sub-account." Pooled Trusts are generally established and maintained by non-profit organizations.
- Secret (and Semi-Secret) Trust: An oral agreement between the settlor and trustee that the settlor will leave a gift to the trustee via will that is to be used for the benefit of a third-party beneficiary. On the face of the will the gift appears absolute – the trust is not mentioned at all in the will documents. (A semi-secret trust mentions the trust in the will, but does not name a beneficiary or is unclear regarding specific terms of the trust.)
- Special Needs (or Supplemental Needs) Trust: A trust established to provide supplemental income for a disabled person who is receiving or may eligible to receive government benefits. Ordinarily an inheritance or receipt of a gift could reduce or eliminate a person's eligibility for government benefits. Special Needs Trusts work around this issue by expressly prohibiting distributions for food, shelter, or clothing.
- Spendthrift Trust: A trust that prevents the beneficiary from selling or pledging away his interests in the trust. Spendthrift Trusts are beyond the reach of the beneficiaries creditors, until such time as the trust property is distributed and placed in the hands of the beneficiary.
- Testamentary Trust: A trust that is included under the terms and conditions established in a will and takes effect when the settlor dies.
- Totten Trust: A revocable trust created by depositing money into an account at a financial institution in the settlor's name as trustee for another. Totten Trusts were an early form of modern-day "Pay on Death Accounts."
Do I Need an Attorney to Create a Trust?
Trusts can be structured to handle a variety of situations, but careful drafting is essential to make the plan work. If you choose to create a trust, consult with an estate attorney experienced in estate planning. The potential tax implications and legal formalities of trust drafting make a lawyer's counsel indispensable. A lawyer can explain all your options and help you understand what type of trust is right for you and your family.

October 24, 2013
Maybe my judgment is clouded by the fact that I eat in the same cafeteria everyday, but Eat Local Challenge Day in late September was one of the best dining experiences of my life. In case you missed this wondrous event, Bon Appétit filled the McEwen Courtyard with meals made entirely from ingredients sourced from within 150 miles of its kitchens. Students and professors piled their plates high with Sun Gold tomatoes, roast pork loin, grilled garlic chicken and honeyed raspberries. Apple cider and cheddar cheese claimed their usual spotlight, of course, like old time celebrities on the (chopping) block. Not only was the food delicious, but it was completely local, seasonal and responsible. I had a feeling this was not something that usually happened at colleges across the country, and when Bon Appétit was named in the "Daily Meal's 60 Best Colleges for Food in America" list for 2013, my suspicions were confirmed.
In forming the list, the Daily Meal considered the sustainability of each meal, the accessibility and service of each campus dining hall, whether campus dining engaged students with events or nutritional education and student feedback.
In the sustainability front, I have been really impressed by the efforts Bon Appétit has made toward keeping food local and utilizing seasonal ingredients. For example, on the Eat Local Challenge Day alone, local providers including North Star Orchards, Lucky Seven Farms, Evans Farmhouse Creamery, and even our own Community Garden supplied food to the Hamilton community. Plus, on a daily basis, our bagels come from the local Bagel Grove, just a short drive away in New Hartford. However, local food does come with somewhat of a drawback when all of Commons is ready to revolt because of the scarcity of avocados on our plates. Eating local and enjoying sustainable meals will always come with a price, such as having a "limited" selection of food based on seasons and geographic location. As a student concerned with responsible eating practices, I see this as a small price to pay for the peace of mind we get knowing our food's frozen journey does not rival that of Marco Polo. The large amount of student interest in local and sustainable food selection, as shown by the Slow Food and Real Food clubs and Farm to Fork initiatives, are echoed by Bon Appétit. This collabaration between student interest groups and Bon Appétit practices is what makes Hamilton's food service worthy of recognition.
The conversation does not stop there. As a member of the Food Committee, I sit and listen to food complaints and suggestions from students every week and discuss possible solutions with the Bon Appétit staff. We also review the "comment cards" students write in the dining halls. (To the person who asks for hash browns at every meal, give it up already.)
In all seriousness, I have been very impressed by the manner in which Bon Appétit takes suggestions and truly tries to make changes in the dining halls based on student feedback.
For example, students complained about the lack of healthy options at Diner B at the last Food Committee meeting. I suggested an egg-white breakfast burrito and was amazed that it was accepted with such ease and is now offered at the Diner. The difficulty lies in trying to appease student's palates for tropical fruit in the dead of winter while respecting Farm to Fork practices. Again, the tension between maintaining local food and enjoying wide food selection continues. As the Hamilton community gains a greater awareness about food practices, which I think is already pretty strong, perhaps Bon Appétit "comment cards" will start dwindling.
My only "comment card" would veer away from the food itself and focus more on the logistics of the dining experience. Ironically, Commons' tragedy is somewhat like the tragedy of the commons, which I debate when forks run out or when there is no more coffee right after dinner.
Nevertheless, Commons and McEwen make considerable efforts to provide variation in the food and respect allergies, such as gluten intolerance. I think the next step is for students to start respecting the dining halls in return. I know everyone is in a rush, but dipping the peanut butter spoon in the cream cheese "by accident" is never okay in my book. As Bon Appétit aims to enhance our dining experience, we should follow suit.
With all this said, much congratulations to Bon Appétit for its high rankings by the Daily Meal. There is still a ways to go, but we have created a pretty great foundation on which to start. I highly encourage everyone to attend Food Committee meetings and continue writing "comment cards" should you have any suggestions for the dining services on campus.

The LOST TAPES. Here are two pieces built on Beethoven Classics. Both composed and played by me. The first is a lost tape, the second is a recent video. Let me hear what you think.
FRACTURED BEETHOVEN. One of the Late 80's LOST TAPES. My version of Ode to Joy melody in Beethoven's ninth symphony. Piano. This was HARD to play! (Note takes about 5 seconds to load).

Building a Portable Office Shack
hi there,
I am a student in Occupational Health and Safety. I have a group project to do, which includes building a EMS portable office shack on a construction site, estimating the cost, and the material needed.
The dimensions are 12 ft x 46 ft. Which would equal 552 cubic feet. I want to know how much sand and gravel I would need for the foundation of the shack I am about to build. I will also need hardwood for the foundation to raise it above ground. I also was hoping for an estimation in regards to price.
I apologize as I do not have much experience with this, but if anyone can help me out, or even direct me to a website where I can find these answers I would be eternally greatful. Thank you!:)
And that's the cost.
Do a search of framing or get a book that shows standard framing practices.
You tube will have videos on all aspects. Start with "building a shed" and add to that any other component you need.
Your location will determine specific code requirements.
12x 46 = 552 Cubic Feet? Not much headroom, must be dragging the injured in the short front door. Put a sign on the door, "drag head first" otherwise, various body parts will flop sideways and make it hard to pull them inside.
12 x 48, spec a temporary office on wheels. Job shacks get moved around on a job site.
Can your project start with a rental? Most portable buildings are. Here is a link to what comes to my mind from your post.
I don't get what you are trying to do because you are asking for foundation specs for a portable device that doesn't really require it if it is portable. Those dimensions are the size of a single wide mobile home.
Maybe not enough information???
If the women don't find you handsome,
they should at least find you handy.
(Red Green)
I was asked to find out how much sand, gravel, and possibly wood/concrete to perch the structure on, so that it was not slanted or on an uneven surface. Unfortunately, the 12x48 foot base is what i was given to work with. Would it be possible to just drop the portable shack without any kind of gravel or sand underneath to support it?
I may have to phone around in the morning to get some quotes...
I realize it is just a question for a school paper or something, but something still doesn't sound right.
A structure that size would require footers, which local code will dictate the depth of those. The trailers pictured are leveled with 8-10 adjustable jackstands which usually just set on a solid concrete block.
Setting the whole trailer down on a bed of sand and gravel it would sink an lean. This would require an engineering point of view, because the type of sand, the size of gravel, and the amount of tamping to create a solid base so it will not sink into is an odd question.
Also 12 x 46 is 552 square feet, not cubic feet.
If the women don't find you handsome,
they should at least find you handy.
(Red Green)
The important word in the OP's question is "portable". This infers moving it out and not leaving anything costly behind.

Hatred shouldn't be natural, ignored, or accepted. It should make you physically uncomfortable.
Okay. No matter who or where you are, the scenario is always the same: It's Saturday night, you're leaving the club, smeared mascara, broken & discarded high heels, hearts aflame with the rush of knowing that you've once again had…
That's the other thing about passing. People feel like they're safe to be homophobes in front of you.
When life, school and everything gets you down, you need to find those special places you can go to, those things that always make you feel good no matter what. Although other people can be great and helpful, learn to rely on yourself for your own happiness.

- 1 lemon, halved
- 4 large, firm artichokes
- 2 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 thyme sprigs
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Mushroom Toasts
Squeeze the lemon into a bowl of cold water; add the halves to the bowl. Trim 1 inch off the stem ends of the artichokes. Using a sharp stainless steel knife, halve the artichokes crosswise. Pull off all of the green outer leaves until you reach the yellow leaves. Peel the tough skin off the bottoms and stems. With a teaspoon, scrape out the hairy chokes. Add the artichokes to the bowl of lemon water as they are trimmed.
In a medium saucepan, combine the stock with the olive oil, wine, thyme sprigs, shallot and garlic. Add the artichokes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat until the artichokes are very tender, about 40 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs.
Working in batches, transfer the contents of the saucepan to a blender and puree until completely smooth. Transfer the soup to a bowl and let cool, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Just before serving, stir the milk and cream into the soup and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into shallow bowls and serve the Mushroom Toasts on the side.

Humane Society Pet of the Day: Beemer
By HSPPR On December 12, 2012 · 1 Comment · In A Big Something, Humane Society, Pet of the Day
Hi, hi! I'm Beemer, a 5-year-old neutered black beagle and terrier mix. I LOVE people. And walks. And dogs. And TREATS! But especially people. I have a lot of energy, so if you need a running partner, this pup is your dog! I get very excited about seeing my doggie friends, and I love making new friends. I appear to be housebroken, but I still might need to get used to the rules in your house. I love attention and toys; should we schedule a play date for your backyard?
My adoption fee is $130 and includes a voucher for a veterinarian exam, vaccinations, 45 days of pet health insurance, a one-year dog license and a microchip. Stop by Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region at 610 Abbott Lane in Colorado Springs to see me and all of my friends! Click HERE for directions.
