Occupying Democracy
There at the start of Occupy Wall Street, Anthropologist David Graeber teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London, recently appointed professor at the London School of Economics and author of, The Democracy Project: A History, a Crisis, a Movement, he now argues for a re-awakened democracy.
In the studio: author and activist @davidgraeber talking democracy and occupy movement. twitter.com/BrianLehrer/st…— Brian Lehrer Show (@BrianLehrer) April 16, 2013
—On the Founding Fathers' rejection of democracy: "Most Americans are unaware than nowhere in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution does it say anything about the United States being a democracy. In fact, most of those who took part in composing those founding documents readily agreed with the seventeenth century Puritan preacher John Winthrop, who wrote that 'a democracy is, among almost all civil nations, accounted the meanest and worst form of government.'"
—On the deadlock of American politics: "The moment we realize most Americans are not cynics, the appeal of right-wing populism becomes much easier to understand. It comes, often enough, surrounded by the most vile sorts of racism, sexism, and homophobia. But what lies behind it is a genuine indignation at being cut off from the means for doing good….The militant anti-intellectualism of the populist right is more than merely a rejection of the authority of the professionally-managerial class, it's also a protest against a class that they see as trying to monopolize for itself the means to live a life dedicated to anything other than self-interest. Watching liberals express bewilderment that they thus seem to be acting against their own self-interest—by not accepting a few material scraps they are offered by Democratic candidates—presumably only makes matters worse."
—On the unconventional roots of the democratic sensibility in America: "If existing ship constitutions are anything to go by, the typical organization of eighteenth-century pirate ships was remarkably democratic. Captains were not only elected, they usually functioned much like Native American war chiefs: granted total power during chase or combat, but otherwise treated like ordinary crewmen. Those ships whose captains were granted more general powers also insisted on the crew's right to remove them at any time for cowardice, cruelty, or any other reason. In every case, ultimate power rested in a general assembly, which often ruled on even the most minor matters, always, apparently, by a majority show of hands."
—On the central role of penalties, interest, and fines in American capitalism: "Huge proportions of ordinary people's incomes end up going to feed this predatory system through hidden fees and, especially, penalties…We're not in the habit of calculating such numbers because they are, even more than debts, seen as the wages of sin: you only pay them because you did something wrong. In fact, the entire system is now geared toward ensuring we make such mistakes, since the entire system of corporate profits depends on them…There has been a massive increase in such fees in recent decades without any notable increase or improvement in the services provided. Most Americans are delivering as much as one dollar out of five they make directly to…the financial sector."
—On what makes a successful revolutionary movement: "It's a much vexed question: what is a revolution? What revolutions really do is transform basic assumptions about what politics is ultimately about. In the wake of a revolution, ideas that had been considered veritably lunatic fringe quickly become the accepted currency of debate. Before the French Revolution, the idea that change is good, that government policy is the proper way to manage it, and that governments derive their authority from an entity called 'the people' were considered the sorts of things one might hear from crackpots and demagogues, or at best a handful of freethinking intellectuals who spend their time debating in cafés. A generation later, even the stuffiest magistrates, priests, and headmasters had to at least pay lip service to these ideas. Before long, we had reached the situation we are in today: where it's necessary to lay the terms out, as I just did, for anyone to even notice they are there. They've become common sense, the very grounds of political discussion."
—On freedom and the nature of work: "The most obvious is the assumption that work is necessarily good, that those unwilling to submit to work discipline are inherently undeserving and immoral, and that the solution to any economic crisis or even economic problem is always that people should work more, or work harder, than they already do. This is one of those assumptions that everyone in mainstream political discourse seems obliged to accept as the ground of conversation. But the moment you think about it, it's absurd. First of all, it's a moral position, not an economic one. There is plenty of work being done we'd all probably be better off without, and workaholics are not necessarily better human beings. In fact, I think any levelheaded assessment of the world situation would have to conclude that what's really needed is not more work, but less. And this is true even if we don't take into account ecological concerns—that is, the fact that the current pace of the global work machine is rapidly rendering the planet uninhabitable."
—On valuable pursuits in a free society: "Economically, what I would really like to see is some kind of guarantee of life security that would allow people to pursue those kinds of value they actually consider worth pursuing—individually, or with others. As I've observed, that's the main reason people pursue money anyway. To be able to pursue something else: something they consider noble, or beautiful, profound, or simply good. What might they pursue in a free society? Presumably, many things we could barely now imagine, though one might expect familiar values like arts or spirituality or sports or landscape gardening or fantasy games or scientific research or intellectual or hedonistic pleasures would figure in, in every sort of unanticipated combination."
—On equality: "I'm sometimes asked: what does 'equality' really mean? I get this sort of question a lot. Usually from very rich people. 'So what are you calling for? Complete equality? How could that be possible? Would you really want to live in a society where everyone would have exactly the same thing?'—and, once again, with the tacit suggestion that any such project would, necessarily, mean the KGB again. Such are the concerns of the 1 percent. The answer is: 'I would like to live in a world where asking that question would be nonsensical.'"
—On love as communism: "Stop imagining 'communism' as the absence of private property arrangements, and go back to the original definition: "from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs….It becomes apparent that communism—at least in its most attenuated form—is the basis of all amicable social relations, since, sociality of any sort always assumes a certain baseline communism, an understanding that, if the need is great enough (e.g., to save a drowning person) or the request small enough (e.g. a light, directions), these are the standards that will be applied. We are all communists with those we love and trust the most; yet no one behaves communistically in all circumstances with everyone, or, presumably, ever has or will."
—On "small-a" anarchism: "There are endless varieties, colors, and tendencies of anarchism. For my own part, I like to call myself a 'small-a' anarchist. I'm less interested in figuring out what sort of anarchist I am than in working in broad coalitions that operate in accord with anarchist principles: movements that are not trying to work through or become governments; movements uninterested in assuming the role of de facto government institutions like trade organizations or capitalist firms; groups that focus on making our relations with each other a model of the world we wish to create. In other words, people working toward truly free societies. I am less interested in working out what the detailed architecture of what a free society would be like than in creating the conditions that would enable us to find out."

Multiple papillomas of the tracheobronchial tree are rare in children and adults. We describe a 42-year-old woman with multiple papillomatous-like tumors involving the trachea and bronchi. The limited tissue samples obtained during fiberoptic bronchoscopy initially lead to a benign histopathologic diagnosis; concurrent cytology studies strongly suggested oat cell carcinoma. The biopsy specimen obtained by rigid bronchoscopy ultimately demonstrated unequivocal oat cell carcinoma. This case illustrates an unusual and previously unreported manifestation of oat cell carcinoma--an endoscopic presentation in a papillary form suggesting benign tracheobronchial papillomatosis. Cytology studies were of increased diagnostic significance in this clinicopathologic setting.

Target: The International Court of Justice
Goal: Prohibit Japan from commercially whaling in Antarctica.
Australia has filed a court case against Japan in the International Court of Justice. An international moratorium forbids commercial whaling, and Japan is trying to defend its whaling program as research. However, Australia claims that Japan is breaking the law in order to hunt whales for their meat. Japan has long been under the scrutiny of several anti-whaling countries and organizations for abusing the law in order to sell whale meat commercially.
The International Whaling Commission (IWC) moratorium on commercial whaling went into effect in 1986. Until then Japan was heavily involved in commercial whaling, but even after the moratorium was signed into law, Japan has continued the practice using the scientific research provision in the agreement. The meat from the scientific whale hunts is then sold in stores and restaurants. Most IWC oppose the practice of selling meat.
In 2012 Australia filed a court case in The Hague to stop Japan from whaling in the Antarctic Ocean. Several countries, scientists and environmental organizations consider Japan's whaling program to be unnecessary and have even described the practice as a disguised commercial whaling operation. The Hague is set to make its decision on the case by the end of 2013. If Japan loses the case it will be forbidden from hunting whales in Antarctic waters.
Please sign the petition to support Australia in its case against Japan's whaling program and urge the International Court of Justice to prohibit Japan from commercial hunting. Another species should not be put in danger of extinction because of the greed of one country.
Dear International Court of Justice,
By the end of the year 2013 you are due to make a decision on Australia's case against Japan's intent to practice commercial whaling the waters of Antarctica. Japan has long been known to perform these whale hunts under the pretence of scientific research. Many anti-whaling countries, activists and environmental organizations have deemed Japan's whaling program unnecessary for any kind of research.
Commercial hunting of any species is an endangerment to the continuation of it. Many species are endangered or extinct because of the careless mass killings of animals. I urge you to stop Japan from expanding its whaling practice and forbid it to continue the program in any waters worldwide.

It is not a faulty camera, it is a safety feature but the firmware people did not place a warning into the message system at front LCD display.
To get the front of the camera that hot within 10-20 minutes of recording at 20C ambient, you are using 1080p 50 or 60 fps or higher bit rate for sure, or perhaps protune.
See this :
Know the camera limits ( now that I am telling you heheheeh )
Sony A55 will overheat and shut down recording in approx 8 minutes
Sony NEX7 in approx 17 minutes.
Have fun.....
So the camera overheats when recording in high resolution modes and shuts itself down automatically ? and you say it`s not faulty ?
OK, perhaps it isn`t `faulty`, but its a crap design if that`s the problem !!
What`s the point of making the camera so small that it can`t dissapate the heat to enable users to actually record stuff.
What you are saying is, don`t use the camera high resolution modes if you want to record more than 20 minutes? Genius.

BMW Drops Off an F800GS for an Extended Visit
posted by Bryan Joslin on 2 September 2011 in Daily Driver
It wasn't like we had to choose another dual-sport BMW when our R1200GS went away this spring. There are, after all, a bunch of great bikes in the BMW lineup from which to pick. An S1000RR might have been fun, and the K1600GT would have certainly made a great cruiser. But we were so enamored of the R1200GS's breadth of capabilities that we wanted to see if the impressive GS experience carried through on the smaller, less expensive F800 version. The Lava Orange 2011 F800GS you see here rolled up to our garage door early this summer, in plenty of time to still take advantage of the Midwest's abbreviated riding season.
Like other F800 models, the GS uses a 798-cc inline-twin engine, made by the Austrian firm Rotax. Unlike the iconic air-cooled boxer BMW uses in its R-series bikes, the Rotax engine is liquid-cooled, with a fairly wide radiator sitting just below the steering head. Output is rated at 85 hp at 7500 rpm with 62 lb-ft of torque at 5750 rpm. Like everything else from BMW today, the engine uses fuel injection and four-valve-per-cylinder technology. The gearbox is a six-speed manual, built into the crankcase for weight and space savings, and it uses a wet clutch setup. Unlike the R1200GS we had previously, power gets to the rear wheel via chain drive; the R-bike uses a shaft drive.
What makes this F800 a GS is the taller off-road-ready suspension paired with trail-ready wire spoke wheels, measuring 21 inches in front and 17 inches in back. Ours arrived with street tires (Pirelli Scorpion Trail) that are capable of hitting the occasional gravel road or hard-packed trail, though knobby tires are required for serious off-roading. Given our local conditions, the street tires are perfect.
Naturally, the bodywork is styled for a range of duties, with large plastic fenders to fend off mud and dust, a small windscreen, and grab handles for the passenger. The seat is set just about an inch higher than our previous GS at 34.6 inches, easily manageable by our staff whose inseams range from about 31 to 34 inches. Adding to its off-road demeanor are a bunch of BMW accessories, including GPS, foglights and aluminum panniers. Missing (and literally missed already) are the hand guards.
Riding the F800GS is a considerably different experience from riding its bigger sibling. There's only a 40-pound weight advantage with the 800 (465 pounds with a full tank), but it feels like a much leaner bike, in part because the R1200's wide boxer engine isn't sitting out below you. The narrow enduro-style seat is less comfortable for longer rides, though its unstepped design allows a solo rider to adjust his position more completely, sliding back further once in a while.
Aurally, the Rotax engine is like a junior-high band performance — you recognize the tune, but it sounds different every time you hear it played. Under certain loads and speeds it seems to imitate the distinct rhythm of the R1200's boxer twin, while other conditions cause it to belt out low, raspy notes that resemble the bark of a Porsche flat-six with a freed-up exhaust. Most of the time, however, it sounds like pissed off lawn equipment, and not in a good way.
Power delivery is linear and predictable, making it a great starter bike. It feels similar to most performance car engines as it moves through the revs, but it seems unrefined and uncomfortable at higher rpm. The six gears are spaced well enough for road use, but the fairly high torque peak and lack of real low gearing might make it a bit less tractable in sand and on hills.
In around-town riding, the F800GS feels stable yet nimble, and it has proven an easy bike for newcomers to hop on and acclimate to. In slow-moving traffic, however, the radiator's full effect can be felt, as hot air pours out on the rider's lower right leg. This is one bike where riding pants might actually keep you cooler.
On the highway, as most of our commutes have so far involved, the lack of a steering damper detracts from its sense of stability, especially with cross winds. The low windscreen also offers little protection and produces a fair bit of buffeting. The gearbox has worked generally well on this particular bike, though other F800s we've ridden in the past have proven a bit more balky. The only quirk we've experienced with it so far is it's magnet-like desire to slip itself into neutral as we downshift through the gears to stop; it has occasionally slipped right past second, leaving us surprised when we slip the clutch to creep ahead in stop-and-go traffic.
As with the R1200GS, we plan to ride the F800 as far into the Chicago autumn as possible. We've already lined up a new Triumph Tiger 800XC, a bike that has clearly gone to school on BMW's GS lineup, to see how the two 800s compare. And before our time with it is up, we plan to take it to the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, SC, for a little bit of off-road riding instruction at the school.

The Machine has won both the World Grand Prix and UK Open twice. He has also triumphed in the World Matchplay, Championship League, Premier League and The Masters – and the evidence suggests that more major glory awaits.
Wade reached the final of the British Classic when he was only 18, but his surge to darting prominence came in 2006, having switched to the PDC two years earlier. He put together a sensational run to the final of the World Matchplay, beating some established names along the way. He also hit an unprecedented three nine-dart finishes in that calendar year.

IMEMC & Agencies: Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded the Al-Fawwar refugee camp, in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, and the West Bank district of Bethlehem, and kidnapped three Palestinians, including a child.
Eyewitnesses have reported that a number of Israeli military jeeps invaded the Al-Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron, broke into and searched several homes and kidnapped one child.
The child has been identified as Mohammad Yousef Jawabra, 14; he was cuffed and blindfolded before being move to an unknown destination.
Furthermore, soldiers installed several roadblocks at the entrance of Ithna nearby town, and the main road between Ithna and Deir Samet village, west of Hebron.
Dozens of soldiers also invaded Um Salmouna village, south of Bethlehem and kidnapped Ali Ahmad Taqatqa, 19, after dozens of soldiers broke his family's home and searched it; damage was reported.
Another resident, identified as Ala' Mheisen, 22, was kidnapped by the army after several armored Israeli military jeeps invaded the camp, and searched homes.
On Wednesday, several Palestinians have been kidnapped during similar Israeli military invasions targeting different parts of the occupied West Bank.
Invasions and attacks are part of ongoing Israeli military violations against the Palestinians, and their property in the occupied territories.

Percutaneous Atherectomy
Percutaneous Atherectomy
Our vascular surgeons have extensive experience performing percutaneous atherectomy for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease.
During percutaneous atherectomy, the blocked area inside your artery is "shaved" away by a tiny device on the end of a catheter. The procedure is done through a small incision in your groin using catheters threaded through the artery.
What is Atherectomy?
As you age, can build up along the walls of your arteries causing your arteries to narrow and stiffen. If enough plaque builds up it can reduce blood flow or cause irregularities in the normally smooth inner walls of the arteries.
An atherectomy is a procedure in which your vascular surgeon inserts a specialized catheter into a blocked artery to remove a buildup of plaque from within the artery. The catheter contains a sharp rotating blade, grinding bit, or laser filament, as well as a collection system that permits your surgeon to remove the plaque from the wall of the vessel and collect or suction any resulting debris.
Atherectomy can be used to treat blockages where angioplasty and stenting cannot be performed. it can also be used as a complement to angioplasty and stenting, removing blockages to allow for the insertion of a balloon and stent.
Who should consider Atherectomy?
A good candidate for an atherectomy may be a patient who:
- has severe narrowing of peripheral arteries that cannot be easily treated with angioplasty and stenting
- cannot have a bypass surgery
- has a blockage indicates that atherectomy should be used as a preliminary step to angioplasty and stenting.
How to Prepare for Atherectomy
Your doctor will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.
- You will need to fast prior to the procedure. Your doctor will notify you how long to fast, usually overnight.
- Notify your doctor of all medications (prescription, over-the-counter or herbal supplements) you are taking; if you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant; if you are allergic to or sensitive to medications, local anesthesia, or latex; if you have kidney failure or other kidney problems or if you are allergic to or sensitive to contrast dye or iodine.
- Plan for your care and transportation after the procedure and during recovery at home.
What happens during the Atherectomy?
You will be given a local anesthetic to numb the area where the catheter will be inserted. You will stay awake during the procedure, but be sedated for comfort.
Your surgeon will thread a thin guide wire into the blocked artery through a needle inserted into a blood vessel in your groin. Dye is injected into the artery and X-rays are taken while the dye moves through your artery. Using these X-ray images, an atherectomy catheter will be advanced to the location of the blockage. The catheter is a thin tube inserted into a blood vessel in your groin and contains a cutting blade, grinding device, or laser filament, that will be used to remove the blockage. In addition, the catheter also contains a collection or suctioning system used to remove any debris as a result of the procedure.
Once the blocked portion of the vessel opens and blood flow is improved, your surgeon may place a metal device called a stent at the location of the blockage to reduce the likelihood of another blockage from forming. The catheter is then removed.
What happens after the procedure?
You will go back to your hospital room and rest in bed for 12 to 24 hours. You will most likely be able to go home the next day. You can usually resume normal activity within a day or two.
What are the risks?
- You may have an allergic reaction to the local anesthetic or X-ray dye.
- You may bleed a lot and need medicine or a blood transfusion.
- The artery may be damaged. For example, the artery might be perforated during the procedure. Emergency bypass surgery or repair of the perforation (hole) would then be needed.
- There is a risk of injury to the groin where the catheter was inserted.
- The blockage may come back after 3 to 6 months.

Good Advice For Every Beekeeper, from A Successful Beekeeper
We try to minimize using information from other sources, but sometimes there are items that are so helpful we want to give them greater exposure. Here's some interesting insight; thanks to CATCH THE BUZZ, an e-publication of Bee Culture.
The most basic and essential advice for anyone with hopes of becoming a successful professional beekeeper is to "ignore" the ideas and advice commonly circulated by small-time beekeepers, especially those who try to be different and make things more complex than necessary and follow only advice and suggestions from successful professional beekeepers.
That good advice is generally offered quietly and without the evangelism that accompanies the propaganda circulated by the various beekeeping cults.
The main keys to achieving success in any business that depends on livestock are very simple:
- The first rule for anyone who keeps livestock and is serious about doing a proper job, with profitability and success as the goal, is to ensure his/her livestock is properly fed at all times, with feed reserves on hand.
- The second rule is to keep all livestock in good health and avoid wasting time and resources on livestock which does not show promise.
- Culling losers promptly is essential to success—in the beekeeping world it is not simply letting all the bees die, but requeening with better stock.
- Colony starvation begins long before the bees run right out of feed. As the stores in the hives dwindle, bees forage more desperately and brood rearing is cut back, resulting in disease and reduced populations.
- Failure to feed livestock that is approaching starvation is an indication of the worst sort of ignorance and lack of competence. In advanced societies, starving livestock is illegal, and even criminal.
For some reason, bees seem to be an exception and many incompetent beekeepers promote various abuses of honey bees. Maintaining inadequate reserves in hives is one of the most widespread abuses and the cause of a great deal of colony loss and disease.
Beekeeping basics are really simple—too simple for many it seems.
- Keep the colonies healthy and treat, eliminate or requeen any which are not.
- Provide good housing for the colonies with appropriate room for the population and time of year.
- Feed any colonies that may come anywhere close to running out during a dearth generously, and well in advance. The time to feed for dearths and/or winter is as soon as any honey flows are over and any surplus is removed. The weights should be checked again routinely.

How much does it cost? That's often the first question people ask when you suggest a learning management system. The truth is the price of an LMS far undercuts that of sending your employees into the classroom. There are initial costs, of course, but in the long run you will save money, not waste it. One of the best thing you can do to keep your costs down is to read a lot of learning management system reviews.
Relieving the Financial Strain
Put simply, an LMS will cost your business thousands of dollars less than classroom training. Why? Instead of separate sessions of seminars, roleplay, questions and answers, and testing, an LMS can roll all four into one session. According to the article, Cost Comparison Between Online and In Person Training>, the four sessions aforementioned would cost a company $110,000 to train 2,000 personnel in five locations. The same four sessions rolled into one LMS, however, was estimated at only $37,000 for the same number of employees at the same five locations. Even if you add in the cost of the learning management system, which can have a start-up fee of between $500 and tens of thousands of dollars, according to LMS.org's article, eLearning Industry Shows Continued Growth. If you add in the per user fee, often, up to $10, your first year's cost for the LMs averages out to approximately $5,500. Consider that this means to train 2,000 personnel at five locations in the first year would top out at $42,000 and you can see how an LMS would quickly save your company thousands of dollars.
Connecting Globally Separated Employees
Most companies have at least a few personnel who live a long distance from the offices. Do you pay for them to travel and stay in a hotel while learning in a classroom? That is not the best solution available. Obtaining an LMS for your business will mean not having to pay travel expenses if a distant employee needs to come in for training. Also, if you have employees overseas that do not speak fluent English, an LMS can give him/her the training in the language s/he is most fluent in. This saves costs on hiring a translator. Finally, an LMS can provide live video chat for no extra charge, cutting out your company's international call bills.
the bottom line
When it comes right down to it, an LMS is far less expensive to deploy than using a classroom system. The initial cost might seem steep, but comparing it to your company's current costs for in-person training will help you determine whether an LMS is right for the job. You will only have to pay employees for one hour of training versus four hours of in-person. You will not have to pay for travel expenses to bring remote personnel in for classroom time. You will not have to pay for translators or international phone calls. Does it sound too good to be true? Do a cost analysis for your own company, and you will be pleasantly surprised at just how much you are missing out on.

School-based health centers gain funding, support in California
January 08, 2013
The number of school-based health centers has been growing in California for more than a decade, and the Affordable Care Act has boosted their funding. Through the federal health care reform law, school health centers in the state have received more than $30 million since 2011, according to this article by Kelley Weiss of the CHCF Center for Health Reporting (Here's a list of what each state received for its own school health centers).
Serena Clayton, executive director of the California School Health Centers Association, told me in a phone interview last week, that school-based health centers accomplish many of the health care law's goals. They enable students to access primary care services directly on their school campuses for little or no cost. They provide preventative, cost-effective care, and are easily accessed by students and their families.
"The need for that kind of service is going to be more and more important with health care reform," Clayton said. "It's a great opportunity for school-based health centers to play more of a role in the health care system."
Currently in California, there are about 200 school-based health centers, and another 40 on the way, according to Clayton.
Given the momentum and promise of school-based health centers, I was interested to learn that some students served by these clinics also enthusiastically support them.
"I honestly think every high school should have a health center," Victor Sigarán told me in a phone interview. He is a student at California State Polytechnic Pomona and a member of the California School Health Centers Association's Youth Board, which advocates for student health issues.
As a student at John Marshall High School in Los Angeles, Sigarán underwent sports physicals at the campus health center. The center was a great resource for classmates who had limited transportation options, or wanted privacy when they received pregnancy or HIV tests, he said. It also offered students a safe place to talk with a health professional, he said.
Brenda Martínez, also a member of the Youth Board, has fond memories of John Marshall's school health center, as well. Many lower-income students - herself included - could not afford to get all the necessary health services at a regular clinic, she said. But through the center, she easily received sports physicals, as well as flu shots and regular check-ups.
"The health center at my high school helped me so much to get regular check-ups done, because I couldn't afford to go anywhere else," said Martínez, who hopes to study nursing at California State University, Los Angeles. "I feel like they definitely should expand as much as possible."
Clayton, of the California School Health Centers Association, said the experiences of Sigarán and Martínez illustrate the positive impacts these centers can have on students. The health centers offer health services to all students, and extra support and services to higher-risk students.
Still, there is room for these centers to grow. Clayton is interested in seeing more state funding for school-based mental health services. And Martínez, of the Youth Board, thinks more school health centers should offer dental services.
"I feel like that's something that should be available," Martínez said. "It's so expensive to go to the dentist, and there are so many students who are not fortunate enough to be able to pay for the services they need."

10 Reviews From Our Community

i paid $125.00 for one of my medicine that was 06-07-2011 i haven't heard anything well i guess but i lost my money.
I have ordered Advantage for < 9 lbs & > 9 lbs cats on three different times. The product has arrived on time 2 of 3 times, in reasonable condition, not leaking etc.. One time it took about 5 days longer than I expected, but arrived in reasonable condition. I will continue to order from them.
i paid 175.00 for my frontline flea medicine that was 12-14-2010 i haven't heard anything well i guess i lost my money the site is very convincing but you won't get your merchandise they have no phone number for you to call and also they have a website that tell's you to email I tried doesn't work stay away from this site he's a crook'
Order arrived in a timely manner and my 2 dogs have been flea-free for three weeks now!
At first I was skeptical because I like to order thru a rep. but I sent an email and the response was relatively quick. As indicated the site said you'd receive the product within 5-15 business days. It took the full amount of time but I had no leaking and the product is in great shape. I would order again. Thank you.
I ordered Advantage from this site on 3-12-2014. 4 days went by and I went on the site to see where my order was and it had not shipped yet. The site claims they pack and send the order with in one business day. This started me emailing the site four times in two days and finally got a response on 3-18-2014. They thanked me for shopping and said that they were waiting for the product to come in and would ship it later this week. Their products can take up to 15 days to arrive after shipping. So it would be almost a month since I ordered the product before I would receive it. I have opened a dispute with them through PayPal since I don't really believe they will send the product. And if they actually do it will arrive past when my dogs need to be treated for fleas. I feel that a website should not take your money if they don't even have the product, to me it feels like stealing. They should also not make claims they can't keep either.
Order arrived in a timely manner and my 2 dogs have been flea-free for three weeks now!
I purchase frontline from this site without doing due diligence. The frontline arrived and the product is not as viscous as what I buy from my vet. It leaked all over. They do not have a phone number to complain and the only way to buy from them is via pay pal. They took money right out of my checking account. I couldn't use a credit card to fight the transaction. Everything was delayed in finally getting my money returned. I hopefully learned my lesson not to purchase things over the net without reading reviews.
it was a considerable discount, my frontline came in a timely manner, an it was the same stuff we buy in the stores. i was happy with this site, i tried okpet.com because they were a few dollars cheaper

That has now been addressed in the latest app update, which brings Dropbox for iOS to version 1.5.6. IN addition to retaining the original photo resolution, the app UI has also received the iPhone 5 treatment, allowing it to scale natively to the taller screen of the newest iDevice.
While image resolution is now maintained, you should note that they are still compressed to save virtual space. Thus the Dropbox updated may still not appeal to prosumer users who pay attention to fine detail structure and color accuracy in their photographs. There's also a tradeoff with the update – while more of the image fidelity is maintained now, the time to save a photo has increased quite a bit. So users who were already satisfied with the quality of the images and value speed more than image quality may want to hold off on the update for the time being.
Anyone else can hit up the source link below to get started with the newest version of Dropbox.

Lord Kitchener's drowning on 6 June 1916, while secretly sailing for Russia, shocked the nation and led to many conspiracy theories about how he died. In fact it was the weather that changed history. Kitchener, secretary of state for war, was a passenger on HMS Hampshire, which was sailing north into the teeth of a north-east gale. The armoured cruiser took a course to the lee of the islands of Orkney to try to avoid the worst weather.
This proved to be a fatal mistake because the channel had not been cleared by minesweepers. By the time the Hampshire was within sight of the Brough of Birsay in Orkney the wind had shifted to the north-west and was blowing force 9. It was then that the cruiser hit a mine. The ship sank in minutes and only 12 crew survived.
Among the 643 dead were Kitchener and the officials he had taken with him to stiffen the resolve of Tsar Nicholas, and get him to redouble his efforts to aid the allies in their war against Germany. Survivors said the old general met his death bravely, as befitted the victor of the Battle of Omdurman against the Dervishes, and other British imperial campaigns.
The popular image of Kitchener remaining is that poster portrait with the drooping moustache and the slogan "Your country needs YOU." The influence his mission might have had on the tsar's policy, the course of the war and revolution, was destroyed by that unseasonable gale.

Mighty tremor
14:11 05/08/2014
Indeed yes here in Vosloorus Gauteng for the first time in my life I have experienced the houses shaking mighty tremor.
The roof in my room was steadily shaking in a constant manner which made me to pay attention to see what was it all about. I went outside to see if nothing have had happened, well everything was normal. But I was really taken aback. When television news were on broadcast this tremor made headlines in all the stations.
Guys let us get ready, end is here repent Jesus is soon returning. Let each an every one of us confess our sins to one on ether .

He's allowed just two earned runs in 21 innings since our last rankings, striking out 24 in the process. He's leads the minors with a 6-0 record, has the best ERA (1.60) in the system, and is second in the Midwest League with 54 strikeouts – seven more batters than have reached base against him this year.
2) Jered Weaver, RHP, Salt Lake (6)
The guy drafted 13 rounds ahead of Adenhart with much more fanfare has been almost as impressive over his last three outings. Weaver has allowed three runs in the last 19 innings to lower his ERA to 2.79, good enough to move into the top 10 for the PCL. He has 24 strikeouts in that span and 50 overall, good for second in the league. With only six walks and four homers allowed, Weaver has done a fantastic job of hurting himself.
3) Jordan Renz, RF, Cedar Rapids (NR)
Even before his mind-numbing performance Monday night, Renz was among the hottest hitters in the system. He now leads all Angels farmhands with nine home runs, 35 RBIs and a .664 slugging percentage. The last two are good for the Midwest League lead as well.
4) Jeff Mathis, C, Salt Lake (NR)
After a brutal start to the year in the big leagues, Jeff Mathis is finding himself – at the plate and behind it – in Salt Lake. Having hit in all 11 games since his demotion, he has a .318/.354/.523 line with the Bees. He has also nabbed three of eight would-be base stealers and has no errors or passed balls in the field. While the Angels have shown no signs that they would carry three catchers, Mathis could force his way back to the big leagues sooner rather than later.
5) Jose Arredondo, RHP, Rancho Cucamonga (3)
Just another ho-hum line for the former shortstop: two starts, 12 innings, 17 strikeouts. The righty has a system-best 57 through just 37.1 innings of work and has also cut his walk totals recently. His 2.41 ERA is fourth in the Cal League, but he'll need to focus on getting deeper into games before he might move up.
6) Michael Collins, C, Rancho Cucamonga (NR)
He's hit in 11 of 12 games, collecting 10 RBIs and three stolen bases along the way. He has moved up to fourth in the Cal League – and first in the Angels' system – with a .348 average. He's also cut his strikeout totals and increased the number of walks he's drawing.
7) Brandon Wood, SS, Arkansas (5)
Although his average has fallen off with a .255 mark in May, he remains among league leaders in homers, RBIs and extra-base hits. He's also cut his strikeout rate significantly, whiffing just 15 times in the last 16 games. That's down from nearly once ever two-and-a-half at-bats through the early part of the season.
8) Eric Rodland, 2B, Arkansas (NR)
The second baseman has been an on-base machine for the Travelers, drawing 16 walks to compliment his .333 average. The left-handed hitter has reached in all but one of his last 15 games to move into the top five in the Southern League in on-base percentage. While he still hasn't stolen a base, he might move to the front of the lineup on a more regular basis soon.
9) Mike Eylward, 1B/DH, Salt Lake (9)
After earning his promotion to Triple-A with a .365/407/644 line at Arkansas, the corner infielder has reached base in all but one of his games with the Bees and has drawn five walks in 32 plate appearances. While the numbers at Salt Lake haven't been spectacular, we'll give him a bit more time to adjust to the higher competition.
10) Pat Reilly, LF, Rancho Cucamonga (10)
He hasn't missed a beat since moving up to the Quakes, hitting in each of his six starts in the Cal League. With four of his first seven hits going for extra-bases, he has picked up right where he left off in Cedar Rapids and has the highest OPS on the team. Another stretch like this and he'll finally move out of the 10-spot.
Also getting attention:
Nick Gorneault - With most of the middle of Salt Lake's lineup shuttling to the big leagues, the right fielder has been pounding the ball in May. He's also scored 13 and driven in 12 over 14 games.
Steven Shell - After missing a few starts with back spasms, the righty came back with five innings of one-run ball. If he makes all his starts before the next rankings, he'll likely be among the top 10.
Kendry Morales - While he got off to a slow start, Morales is now making more consistent contact for the Bees. He needs to start turning on a few more for extra-bases, but another fortnight like the last one and he'll be back over the .300 mark and in the spotlight.
Howie Kendrick - Now that he's back with Salt Lake, look for him to assume a top spot in the next rankings.
Moved off:
Tommy Murphy (1) He's flashed the leather and his arm in the bigs.
Erick Aybar (2)Maybe this hotshot infielder with see some action in the majors?
Cody Fuller (4)
Sean Rodriguez (7)

Cash purchases and solar leases (or PPAs) are no longer the only options for property owners who want to go solar. For solar shoppers who lack the capital for a cash purchase but want to maximize the financial benefits of their solar energy system, the solar loan offers the perfect solution.
This video reviews types of solar loans and their benefits.
Solar panel loans are similar to home improvement loans that homeowners have used for decades to build a deck or add a second bathroom to their homes. When a homeowner borrows money from a lender, they agree to pay it back, plus interest, in monthly installments over the loan term.
There is one very important difference between solar panel loans and other home improvement loans: a solar panel loan allows you to own an asset that generates significant financial value. This includes both the value of electricity generated by the solar panel system over its lifespan and the 30% federal investment tax credit and other applicable rebates and incentives like solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs). While a new kitchen or deck is a nice addition to your home, they do not offer the same type of financial benefits.
A solar loan allows you to own an asset that generates significant savings.
Like any other financial product, solar panel loans have different structures, terms, and conditions. In order to find the solar energy loan that is right for you, there are two fundamental questions that you need to ask.
Solar energy loans can be divided into two categories. Secured loans require an asset that will serve as collateral for the loan – in most cases, that asset will be your home. Unsecured loans do not require any collateral other than the solar panel system itself. Both loan categories have implications for the borrower.
The amount you want to pay each month will impact the interest rate and the length of the loan. Loans with longer terms will have smaller monthly payments, but you will pay more in interest over the life of the loan. In contrast, payments on solar energy loans with shorter terms may exceed your monthly utility bill savings, but they offer a better value because you pay less in interest over the life of the loan.
Secured Solar Loan
Unsecured Solar Loan
|Requires an asset (usually your home as collateral)
|Lenders may foreclose if you default
|Same-day approvals are possible
|Interest is tax-deductable
|May have undisclosed fees

Out, damn yeast
Keeping healthy doesn't just meant eating the right things and doing good exercise. It also meant having a good mentality about things and keeping your other body parts/temple/ shrine in tip top condition.
I recently had a bout of yeast infection which made me itch and miserable but cost me a bomb too. I don't know why I never thought of seeking a GP's help first. My first instinct was to go to my gynae which meant looking at my vajayjay while charging me a bomb. Totally doesn't make sense. Anyhow.
It's the first time I got an infection and I thought it'd go away after a dose of medication but nope. It seems that re-occurence is common. Upset and distressed, thinking all these weird thoughts, I was on the verge to go back to my gynae when Wen Bunny told me to just see a GP. This lady GP was great. Gave me a pessary and some cream and told me some tips my silly gynae never told me!
Tips for you ladies:
1) Personal hygiene is key obviously. Love your vajayjay. Use gentle soap.
2) Use a condom if you're sexually active and if you're on the pill or married and not using rubber, make sure your partner is not complaining of itch as well. It will just be a miserable case of you spreading to him, healing, and him spreading it back to you. Get him checked too.
3) Panties. Throw away your old panties. Honey, it's time to get new ones.
4) Sun those panties. If they are relatively new, great, but make sure you sun those undies! Due to me not having a housekeeper now, I do my laundry loads at night only and that could be a culprit. Washing doesn't mean killing bacteria and hence there could still be traces of yeast bacteria on your panties. So, sun 'em, kill 'em.
Anymore tips to share? Comment or email us!

Healthy Snacks: Think Products
Nom Nom Nom
I recently popped by my favourite health store, Pink of Health at Millenia Walk for some snack bars. I discovered Think Products. The packaging says it all – "superfood nutrition bar for optimum vibrance". Hmm, interesting. What caught my attention was "over 1Tbs of power greens" – wow, really? I mean I eat alot of salad but I don't think I eat enough leafy greens during the week. I had to get one of these Think Green: Blueberry Noni to see how good it is.
Organic dates, brown rice syrup, blueberries (blueberries, evaporated cane juice, sunflower oil), raisins, soy protein isolate, peanut butter, thinkGreen Superfood (apple pectin, lecithin, cracked cell chlorella, organic alfalfa grass juice powder, organic spirulina, brown rice germ, spinach leaf powder, broccoli powder, carrot powder, acerola berry juice powder, beet juice powder, green tea extract, grape seed and skin extract, parsley leaf powder, pea powder), walnuts, cashews, honey, natural flavors, noni powder, salt. Contains soy, peanuts, organic cashews and walnuts.
Fitness Bunny Verdict: It looks like a block of fermented greens – to be honest. Once I took a bite, you don't even remember what it looks like anymore. I can taste some green extracts – you know raw vegetables but the brown rice syrup, dates and blueberries overpower the greens. The bar is pretty substantial – not a meal replacement though. Good to try!
Lizanne Falsetto, CEO of Think Products.
Think Products was started by Lizanne Falsetto who lived a crazy lifestyle as a former runway model. At a turning point of her life, she realized the importance of health and natural food – thus, Think Products was born. I mean look at her, doesn't she look great? I would love to age gracefully over time – and of course, this starts by taking care of yourself from the start. Yes, this means RIGHT NOW. If you lead a busy lifestyle, you need nutritious bars to keep you going. Fast food and vending machine cuisine are NOT options – so don't even think about it. Start stocking your office and school bags with healthy snacks.
To be honest, I'm really trying. It's tough but you have to make a choice. It's all about determination.

I recently subscribed to SELF magazine (U.S.) and I was extremely excited when I received my July 2009 issue just a couple of days ago.
Today, I was determined to try some of these workouts at the gym. The 'star body' moves are created by Hollywood trainers to train celebrities such as Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and etc. There are various workouts to flatten your abs, tighten your butt and tone those arms. My main priority is to build strength and tone my triceps (yes, no more chicken wings!). I did the Triceps Toner, Abs Flattener and Total Tightener – and now, I'm beat!
Try them now! I swear you'll feel awesome after. Have a great weekend!

Hula Hoop: Shake Those Hips!
Liv Tyler loves hula-hooping!
According to Honeysquad, Liv Tyler says the only way to stick to an exercise regime is to find something enjoyable, so she got herself a hula hoop. "I put my favorite song on and stand outside in my LA home and hula hoop in every direction until the song is over and I'm all out of breath. It's really fun."
Cute or what?
If you've never hula hoop before (where on earth have you been?), here's an instructional video on how you can do it better than your friends. Yes, I've turn to the power of YouTube. It's really easy – so don't be discouraged! And most importantly, it's really really fun!

I'm back from Taiwan for a week now – sorry for the hiatus. This week's workout of the week is to focus on your arms. I envy women with toned, beautful arms. I am definitely working on my 'chicken wings' – yes, there's a reason why I pose with my hands on my hips 😀 Anyway, I really admire these celebrities and their toned arms. My goal is to have a lean, toned arm in 3 months – not necessarily chunky, even though it's a little muscular right now (from my pole dancing!).
Jessica Alba
Women's Health has a good article on how to sculpt those sexy arms. Here are the moves that you should incorporate into your workout:
Works Shoulders
Grab a 5-to 8-pound dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides (A). With arms straight but not locked, raise the weights in a V shape until your arms are parallel to the floor (B). Hold for 1 second, then return to start. Do 12 to 15 reps. Tip If you arch your back or swing the dumbbells for momentum, use less weight.
Works shoulders, upper back, and biceps
Grab a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hold the dumbbells just above your shoulders, palms facing each other (A). Press the weights up until your arms are straight overhead (B). Hold for 1 second, then take 3 seconds to lower the dumbbells back to start. Do 6 to 8 reps.
Works core, shoulders, upper back, biceps, and triceps.
Grab the dumbbells and get into the top of a pushup position with your hands on the weights and your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart (A). Bend your right arm and raise the dumbbell to chest level, pressing the left dumbbell into the floor for balance (B).Lower the weight to the floor, then repeat the move on the left side. That's 1 rep; do 6 to 8.

I think I am B2!
Banana rama frantic pizza!
Okay, I'm just rambling.
Wen Bunny was in Taiwan for the whole of last week and hence this blog lacks her presence. I've been dealing with an overwhelming of work in ad land and hence my hiatus as well.
I got my belated birthday pressie from sweetheart Wen Bunny recently and she got it all the way from the land of the rising sun- Japan.
Being healthy bunnies, we do our exercises and eat our daily veggies and fruits. Banana is the one fruit that gives you the energy boost and satisfies your hunger. But it's a pain bringing bananas around. I've had squashed bananas in my bag (not a pretty sight I tell you) and bruised bananas from all the banging with my bag full of paraphernalias… until this!
What in god's name of the heavenly world and beyond is this!?
It's the banana case. Trust the Japanese for all these BRILLIANT innovations.
I now put my banana in it at ease, without fear of it being squashed or bruised. Total brilliance.
Blown out of your mind? Go online to check! Or if you/ your friends are visiting Japan soon, go get 'em!

Information in English
Kuřim prison
2.11.2010 8:26
The prison is situated at the edge of the industrial zone in Kuřim Town, which lies 10 kilometres north from Brno, in the South Moravia Region. Its origins go back to years 1956-57, when it functioned as a branch of the Remand Prison Brno. Its current form of the complex is from 1981, and it is designed for convicted men over 18 years of age with guarded prison regime (high security).
There is also a supervised unit and a specialised guarded unit for inmates with protective sexual treatment. This specialised unit for sexual offenders was opened in 1997, and as a part of the treatment is a close cooperation with external medical specialists. This unit is designed for convicts, who were sentenced to imprisonment by the respective court, with institutional sexual treatment. The recidivism rate is only 2.9% amongst such persons.
The total accommodation capacity of the prison is 484 places. The prisoners are accommodated in prison dormitories with an average capacity of 10 beds each. There are also rooms for 4 or 18 inmates. The ordinary organization and management of the prison and its adherence to legal norms is ensured by the staff of 252 persons, of whom 145 are members of the Prison Service and 107 are civilian employees. The prison has created conditions for employing the inmates within its own operational facilities, or by entities from private sector. The acquiring and maintaining of work habits is also encouraged through the offer of unpaid voluntary work, auxiliary work for the needs of the prison, and in handicraft workshops. Special educational activities are arranged both for individuals and groups and are managed by specialists from the prison personnel. These activities include socio-psychological training, art therapy, psychotherapy and therapeutic activities under the guidance by the drug prevention advice centre. The treatment of convicts also includes leisure activities, such as computer, geography, cynology groups and clubs, etc. More than 5000 publications are available in the prison library.
The prison cooperates with the non-governmental organization "Podané ruce", which provides services in treating drug addicts. For the purpose of deepening the professional skills, the prison employees attend specialised courses and undertake working visits abroad (e.g. to Germany, Slovakia, Poland). They can devote their free time to sport activities; attend cultural events and participate in touristic and hiking excursions in the Czech Republic and in other European countries. The prison also has its own recreation centre in Radiměř in the East Bohemia Region.

As printed in the Daily Herald 4/22/15
Participation in sports can motivate, inspire and teach. For one young man it has been all that and more. Now it is opening a door to a dream he didn't even know he had.
To say that Ryne Stolarz, 25 of Wheaton, is passionate about sports is an understatement. He loves playing, watching and learning about sports. Ryne has been playing one sport or another for as long as he can remember. According to his dad, Jack, over the last 17 years Ryne has participated in Special Olympics swimming, basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, softball and volleyball. He was even the basketball manager for his high school team.
The one sport Ryne had not gravitated to before was soccer. That was until last year when he was recruited to join a soccer team in need of a few extra players. His friends were already on the team so he agreed to give it a try. Not only did Ryne pick it up pretty quickly, but he really enjoyed it and was able to contribute to the team's success.
But that is not surprising to anyone who knows Ryne. Besides his natural athleticism, Ryne brings an easy going spirit, a smile on his face and a positive 'can do' attitude to everything he does. It is that combination that prompted his coach to nominate him for the Special Olympics World Games.
Just so you know, World Games is a VERY BIG deal. They take place every two years and are the flagship event of the Special Olympics movement. This year they are being held in Los Angeles July 25th- August 2nd. More than 7,000 athletes from 177 nations will compete in 25 Olympic-type sports. They anticipate 30,000 volunteers and 500,000 spectators. The games will even be broadcast on ESPN.
According to Special Olympics Illinois, the USA team will include 304 athletes and 43 unified partners competing in 17 sports, 102 volunteer coaches and 42 sports and management team volunteers. All 50 states will be represented. Ryne has been selected as a member of Team USA, specifically one of 11 athletes making up the Team Illinois soccer team.
"Ryne's really a perfect candidate," boasts his dad when asked what he thought about Ryne being selected after playing only one season of soccer. "He plays soccer well, he is very verbally engaging and has such a positive attitude with everything he does." Jack's pride in his son comes through in both his words and his beaming smile. "We are really proud of him. It has been amazing to watch his development in all the sports he plays, including soccer."
Ryne is taking this honor very seriously and his dedication is surprisingly self motivated. Working hard on developing his skills, he practices 5 days a week, goes to two different gyms when he can't practice outside and has even been practicing his dribbling and passing in the house this winter. He gets weekly warm-ups/skills/drills schedules from the coach and keeps a log of all his practice time.
Not surprising is that he likes the camaraderie of the team the most. "I like the coach," says Ryne. "She tells us we have to communicate on the field and talk to each other. That's how we will gel as a team. I like the training method. It makes me a better athlete."
He also says he gets along well with his team mates. Since the athletes are from all over Illinois, they don't get together for regular practices like a typical team. To date, the team has only been able to practice/play together a handful of times. They played together in Indianapolis in October, at a tournament in March, and will play once more in May before heading to Los Angeles. Ryne looks forward to each time they get together.
He is thrilled about the entire experience. "I was excited to get the call about being on the team," he says. "Now I'm excited about meeting all the athletes from different countries and the opening and closing ceremonies." Since being selected for World Games, Ryne can't seem to get enough of soccer or the World Games online. He is constantly updating the family on the latest statistics and information he finds about either one.
Kyle, Ryne's older brother, notes that watching sports, talking about sports, or supporting each other at games was the first thing they had in common and has remained a bond over the years. Kyle is excited about the opportunity coming Ryne's way and amazed at the dedication he is showing in preparing for World Games.
Most of all he is proud of who Ryne has become. "I've learned a lot from Ryne, mostly about his positive outlook on life," he says. "I am so proud of him because this is an awesome payoff to all his hard work and positive outlook."
What does Ryne say about the whole experience so far, "I am officially famous!"

UPDATE 2-Glitch shuts Japan reactor, power crunch looms
* No radiation leaked
* Unplanned closure tightens power supply further
* PM Kan aims for stability at Fukushima earlier than planned (Adds comments from PM Kan, nuclear minister)
TOKYO, July 16 (Reuters) - Japan's Kansai Electric Power Co on Saturday shut down one of its reactors due to technical glitches, worsening a tight power supply that is stifling manufacturers.
The No.1 reactor at Kansai's Ohi plant, located 350 km (220 miles) west of Tokyo, was manually closed for checks after pressure in a tank containing boric acid water fell for a time on Friday night for unknown reasons, a company spokesman said.
The pressure has since come back up to the normal range, and no radiation leakage has occurred.
"Power supply (in western Japan) has been quite tight in the first place. This problem at Ohi's No.1 unit is making it worse," Nuclear Minister Goshi Hosono told reporters.
"We want to keep restrictions on economic activities and people's daily lives as little as possible. But it is quite clear that the situation has become very severe now."
The government is already ordering power users in Tokyo and surrounding areas as well as in northern Japan to cut their electricity consumption by 15 percent as safety concerns following a radiation crisis at the Fukushima nuclear plant keep some reactors from restarting after routine maintenance.

{{Character Liz aka frenchy |image= |gender=Female |age=17 |hair=Copper Red |eyes=Brown |affiliation=Student at Rydell High |occupation=Member of The Pink Ladies}}
Frenchy is one of the main protagonists in Grease, a charter member of the Pink Ladies. Her boyfriend is Doody. She drops out of high school to go to beauty school (which fails), and later goes back to study chemistry, so she can make her own crack. (Grease 2). Frenchy is played in both the 1978 and 1982 movies by Didi Conn, in the 2016 live performance by Carly Rae Jepsen, and in the 2017 play version by Kimberley Goon (alongside her co-star/boyfriend and singer, Ben Peel whom played Goon's love interest). The characters real name is Francesca Alicia Facciano, but she was given the nickname Frenchy, and it stuck.
Frenchy is a young woman with an average height, a slightly peach skin tone, brown eyes and curly, copper hair. Frenchy's style is bright and colourful. Her most memorable scene is probably the 'Beauty School Dropout' segment when she imagines Frankie Avalon is singing to her as her guardian angel. Frenchy also accidentally dyes her hair 'Easter egg' pink when she has trouble in her tinting class at Beauty School. She is often seen in her Pink Ladies jacket with the other girls.
Frenchy is fun-loving, bubbly, and flighty, but a very friendly member of the Pink Ladies. She dropped out of high school to enter Beauty School but later regrets this as she finds beauty school not what she thought it would be. In the beginning of the movie she is already friends with Sandy Olsen. In Grease 2, she also welcomes Michael Carrington to a brand new year in Rydell. It's unclear if Frenchy and Doody are still an item. In The Grease 2 novel by William Rotsler, Frenchy's last name is LeFevre.
Frenchy was written out of Grease 2 halfway in, right after she and Michael were in the chemistry lab, and he chickened out of revealing himself to Stephanie Zinone as Lone Rider post- Who's That Guy?. It could be assumed that she completed her chemistry exam and finally passed, allowing her to graduate at the end of the movie.

"rough, shaggy," c.1300, past participle adjective as though from a verb form of rag (n.). Cf. Latin pannosus "ragged, wrinkly," from pannus "piece of cloth." But the word might reflect a broader, older meaning; perhaps from or reinforced by Old Norse raggaðr "shaggy," via Old English raggig "shaggy, bristly, rough" (which, Barnhart writes, "was almost surely developed from Scandinavian"). Of clothes, early 14c.; of persons, late 14c. To run (someone) ragged is from 1915. Related: Raggedly; raggedness.
scrap of cloth, early 14c., probably from Old Norse rögg "shaggy tuft," earlier raggw-, or possibly from Old Danish rag (see rug), or a back-formation from ragged, It also may represent an unrecorded Old English cognate of Old Norse rögg. Watkins traces the Old Norse word through Proto-Germanic *rawwa-, from PIE root *reue- "to smash, knock down, tear up, uproot" (see rough (adj.)).
As an insulting term for "newspaper, magazine" it dates from 1734; slang for "tampon, sanitary napkin" is attested from 1930s (on the rag "menstruating" is from 1948). Rags "personal clothing" is from 1855 (singular), American English. Rags-to-riches "rise from poverty to wealth" is attested by 1896. Rag-picker is from 1860; rag-shop from 1829.
"scold," 1739, of unknown origin; perhaps related to Danish dialectal rag "grudge." Related: Ragged; ragging. Cf. bullyrag, ballarag "intimidate" (1807).

New York • Newport Jazz Festival founder George Wein is more interested in where jazz is going than in where it's been as he marks the 60th anniversary of the granddaddy of all outdoor jazz festivals.
That's why the 88-year-old Wein is celebrating the milestone by adding a third day of music at Fort Adams Park on Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay dedicated to emerging artists such as trumpeter Amir ElSaffar's Middle Eastern-influenced quintet, the jazz-funk-rock band Snarky Puppy and Darcy James Argue's Secret Society.
"The focus of this year's festival is what is the future of jazz," said Wein, interviewed at his apartment on Manhattan's East Side. "We can never ignore the history of the music, but at the same time, there is such energy and spirit among young musicians today. We try to find the ones that are creative and give them a stage to be heard."

Born to poor parents, Becky Sharp has always aspired to be a member of England's upper classes. Leaving her boarding school and best friend, Amelia, behind, Becky associates herself with the Crawleys, eventually falling in love with their son, Rawdon . The marriage is happy at first, but deteriorates when Rawdon's fortune dwindles. Becky is then supported by the lecherous Marquess of Steyne, whose motives are less than pure.
