Fjords re-visited: MSC Opera Cruise Review by dun123das
Overall Member Rating
Fjords re-visited
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Southampton
Meal at Indian Melody - a vegetarian Indian restaurant. Unaware that this was the case when we ordered our drinks, we decided to have these and leave. However, the owner had other ideas. He came over and persuaded us to try two starters between us before we actually left. These were delicious so we ended up ordering our main meal from here, on the recommendations of the owner. This was quite an experience, with many different spices used and Nik and I really enjoyed it, although Danny was not so enamoured.
We then went to Weatherspoons for a drink, but the beer and atmosphere was not so good and we went back to the Hotel, even though the More bar prices were higher than the local pubs, as you would expect.
Hard pillows on the bed (firm) means that I had a disturbed night's sleep, but overall it was a good start to the holiday.
Set off for the ship at about 11.15 am and joined a long queue to drop off our luggage prior to Nik's car being taken on the 'meet and greet' basis. I was with Nik in his car along with all the hand luggage and Danny had all three cases in our car to drop off. We managed to circumvent quite a bit of the queue and handed the car over. There was quite a walk back to the embarkation shed but we did get called forward when the attendants saw Nik in his wheelchair. We probably saved at least 90 minutes as we were taken through to the Express check-in.
Really helpful service from the start, especially from a young man who took charge of Nik and his chair as the gangway was very steep. He took us all the way to Nik's specially adapted cabin, which is exceptionally suitable for wheelchairs.
Our cabin next and it was quite a contrast to Nik's as ours was much smaller. The bed configuration was single beds, which Danny requested to be changed to a double and this was done while we were at dinner. I was disappointed that there was no safe in the cabin as this is a big 'must' for me. Should have known better than to give up looking for the safe - every cabin has a safe according to the information manual so I had another look and this time remembered that the mirror over the dressing table opens and lo and behold, there is the safe.
As the cases had not yet arrived, so we decided to get a snack and drink and then come back to the cabin in readiness for the lifeboat drill. When we get back from thr bar our cases are waiting for us, so we unpacked in record time. Nik's case had not yet arrived, so we couldn't do his unpacking. It finally arrived just before the drill was expected to start, so I decided to unpack his case after the drill. We then realised that we would be at separate muster points, but decided that we would do the drill as we were but confirm with the crew that we would muster all together in any real situation. (Perhaps we should explain at this point that Danny and I had booked this cruise some 9/10 months earlier, but Nik had decided, when he came into a bit of extra cash, to join us. However, we were booked with Planet Cruise, who were closed on the Sunday that Nik decided to join us, so he booked via Iglu Cruises)
After the boat drill we also went to see the Excursion Staff to see whether we could get a place on the Amsterdam Sightseeing and Canal Boat trip that we received as a complimentary package. We could, so Nik paid his €52, which seemed a lot, but it was the best option.
We left Southampton at about 16.00 on a smooth sea, with hardly any movement.
We then returned to the cabins to get ready for evening meal, which was slightly earlier than we would like at 5.45, but better than the late option of 8.15.
Good table at the restaurant, Nik's chair stored quite close to the table by our waiter Wayan. Good selection on the menu, choice of Appetiser, Salad, Soup, Pasta, Main and sweets. Also a list of dishes available every day, if nothing on the main menu takes your fancy. We had an appetiser, soup, main and sweet and were pretty full. We then spent the evening in the Piazza di Spagnia with a few drinks before wending our way back to the cabin.
Sunday 2 June
We arrived into Ijmuiden as planned, at 10.00 am and after a leisuiely breakfast of Croissants and coffee, we went to get our bus tickets ready for our tour. Special disembarkation for Nik, with help with his chair when needed and off on the coach for an hour's drive to Amsterdam, with excellent commentary on the way from our guide for the tour. Excellent English, loads of historical titbits about the Netherlands in general and information on our surroundings. We then left the coach and went to the Canal for embarkation onto a canal boat, via a wheelchair lift from the canal wall onto the landing area, and the chair was stowed safely in the company's office for the duration of the trip. We spent an hour taking in numerous canals, each with a different origin and character. We went on Gentleman canal, so called because the houses lining the sides of the canal were owned by very wealthy 'gentlemen of leisure', who owned the canal that stretched in front of their houses, there were other canals that were for the poorer population who rented from the gentry who owned the properties and so on. It was interesting that the government sets the 'per square metre' price for renting, so it was possible for less well off people to live in very select properties along the canal system. The captain of the boat was exceedingly skilful, manouveuring the long boat seemingly effortlessly when smaller pedaloes appeared to unable to move out of the way in time. This was a great trip, with the same guide whose sense of humour lightened some of the more serious information . We passed through what had been the Jew's Quarter, which had been mainly demolished after the war, because of 95,000 who had lived there before the war, only 5000 returned and the properties of the 90000 who did not return were left to rot and eventually demolished as they had become unsafe - I found this fact exceedingly upsetting.
The return the the ship was punctuated by a visit to a diamond-cutting factory, where a tour and demonstration was offered alongside free coffee and a chance to buy souvenirs. This was the only actual comfort break as such, although the coach and boat had toilets, these would not have been suitable for Nik. By this time, it was also about seven hours since we had eaten, so we were all starving and tired by the time we got back to the boat.
As the tide had risen since we left, two wheelchair helpers appeared to assist with getting Nik back on board, but he managed to walk up the Ramp slowly and carefully with his chair being carried. After a quick drink, we went off to the cabins to prepare for dinner - another casual evening thank goodness. Another good evening, although we both waited for one number each on the bingo, prize being about €190.
Monday - day at sea, relaxing. Gala night dress up. Visit to library to get James Patterson books for both of us.
Tuesday 4th June - Flam. Couldn't get tickets for Flam railway, because the first one available was too late for us to get back for the last tender. Nik managed well on the tender, although the gangway was steep as we left the ship to board the tender. We then went on a little motorised train, 45 minutes around the Fjord, seeing some of the most fantastic, awe-inspiring scenery, with a little commentary as we went. It did give us some concern as it broke down halfway into the journey, but a back-up car soon had us on our way again after about 8 -10 minutes. It was good to see that people were not allowed to queue-jump as they checked on the time on the tickets and people were made to get off if they were on a later train. It was very tight in the little carriages but we sat with some very nice English people. We have taken some stunning pictures, Nik has posted a fantastic one on Facebook. More stunning photos, this time of the sunset after dinner. Lucky win on the Bingo, followed by an evening of chat and singing along in the Cotton Club.
Wednesday 4th June - Stavanger. Early arrival at the port, sun shining. Had Speciality coffees and croissants for breakfast and then a short stroll around the port. Reasonably easy to disembark, although we do have to confirm to staff a couple of times that Nik is able to do his own thing when traversing the gangway. The staff are very good about being helpful, often carrying his chair when he is walking. Ship is being constantly cleaned and today was no exception. Good lunch in the Caravella Restaurant, which was packed today as the ship left port at 2.30, ready for our trip down to Oslo, a journey of some 222 nautical miles. Wind is forecast as 6 mph, so it should be quite calm. Got back to the cabin this afternoon to receive an invitation to the Captain's Exclusive Cocktail party this evening, which we did not attend as Nik didnt get an invitation.
Thursday. Today we are in Oslo, no trips planned, so went ashore to see what options were available. Only a short walk away from the ship, there were both Hop On and Hop Off buses and the City Sightseeing buses as well. We were given very good assistance on the City Sightseeing bus, so off we went with them. Slightly more expensive at 20€ each, but the trip was also longer and more detailed than some others we have been on throughout Europe. After about an hour and a half, we were back alongside the ship, having had a really good tour around. Again, we have reasonable weather for our time ashore. As we are back in time for lunch, we detour to our cabins to drop off coats and put our currency back into the safe before making our way to the Caravella to eat.
Friday - our final day of the cruise, spent at sea. Some good weather today, with lots of people sunbathing on the upper decks. We managed to get in some reading and relaxation, ready for the trip home on Saturday.
Overall we had an excellent holiday. The cabins were adequate, storage space was better than adequate. The entertainment in the bars was good, we didn't go to any of the shows even though the Entertainment staff did ask us to on numerous occasions. Food was tasty, especially the Pasta dishes, but may not have suited everyone - it is always a case of personal preference - but there was always plenty of choice. Staff were always as helpful as possible and they made sure that Nik specifically was very well looked after. The free parking received as part of our package, along with free all-inclusive Allegrissimo package was very much appreciated. Nik also got free parking - in his case a ''Meet and Greet" package, but he had to pay for his Allegrissimo package at a rate of £20/day. There was no doubt that these packages were well worth their money, especially as Specialist coffees and soft drinks were included as well as a good selection of alcohol. Less

Cabin review: 88204
Small but with more than adequate storage. Cases fit under bed, although the bed does need to be lifted to put the case away and retrieve them.The reason I only gave the cabin 3 is that the shower is too small and it is impossible to avoid the dreaded shower curtain attack We were situated a little towards the stern, so a bit of a trek to the facilities which are midships, but not so far as to be a problem. It was quiet and kept very clean.The pillows are pretty poor, but my request for extra pillows was met very quickly
Port and Shore Excursions
Tendered into Port as MSC Musica was already berthed. Unable to get onto the famous train because it was fully booked until after 14.45, which would not get us back in time for our last tender back to the ship. Instead, we took the motorised train, which took us away from the shore and gave us some fantastic, breath-taking, awe- inspiring scenery - a photographer's paradise. I would definitely recommend this as a great alternate to the train. Our round-trip took about 45 minutes and cost 95 NOK (about €14)
My adult son took his wheelchair in the tender and left it in the train's little kiosk during the trip. The trains are sold in strict time slots and people who tried to queue-jump were not allowed to. Th trains run at about 15 minute intervals.
We jumped onto the nearby City Sightseeing HOHO bus, although we stayed on for the whole trip. A little more expensive than those we have taken in other European cities ((150 NOK/20€) but it was certainly one of the best ever. Lasting about 90 minutes and with a good commentary, we thoroughly enjoyed this and would probably do it again, visiting some of the attractions en route.
Again we were with our disabled son, and his wheelchair was loaded and stored safely for us.

edit: I just added a few more photos. I keep wanting to share more as I'm working on their photos!
Chemistry with each couple is really important to me, and Angela & Charles was a reminder of why I limit the number of weddings I take a year so that I can really personalize the experience for each couple. From our first meeting, to our walkthrough, to the super fun engagement shoot, we shared some good times together and great meals. I saw them through their planning, and they saw me through my growth. When their wedding day finally came around, I totally shared in the excitment and whole surrealness of it all.
Angela and Charles had a very touching and personal wedding. Even with nearly 400 guest, the entire day felt extremely intimate. The day started out with hair & makeup by makeupartist247. Yessenia & Cynthia did a fabulous job and Angela worked on memorizing her vows.
Meanwhile, bridesmaid and flowergirl got ready upstairs:
Together with Isabelle of Taylor Your Memories, Angela & Charles came up with their beautiful Spanish Tiles theme.
Then it was off to Rancho Capistrano, where Charles was also hard at working groom-ing up:
Angela's beautiful Allure dress awaited her arrival. (Dress purchased at Mariposa Boutique.)
I love the Spanish tiles all around Rancho Capistrano! I had to take some detail shots with it. Their gorgeous rings from Simon G. I love how dainty her band looks next to his.
Her gorgeous Rene Caovilla shoes:
And super cute flower girl getting dolled up:
Isn't she stunning?
And then time for photos! Gorgeous flowers by City of Commerce Flowers.
And then off to get married! It was such a sweet moment when Angela's mom walked her down the aisle. That moment when Angela and Charles saw each other, they both broke out in tears. I was literally tearing behind my camera!
First kiss as husband + wife!
I love this candid moment of the mr. & mrs. walking down the aisle!
I love this moment I caught of them while Jonathan was taking wedding party photos:
And I totally love the bridesmaid dresses! (from Anthropologie)
And then some alone time:
And then off to the reception! Linens provided by Wildflower Linens.
And a sweet sweet moment during their first dance. Wasn't it just the perfect setting?
And then a roll call picture on the dance floor! Jason from Visions Entertainment did a fabulous job, as always! In every event I have worked with Jason, he has run the show seamlessly. Any event where I know he's DJ/emceeing, I know it will be a smooth night for me!
Elegant cake by It's All About the Cake in Dana Point.
Just when we thought they were playing nice…
Congrats Angela & Charles on a beautiful and funfilled day! I am grateful to have met you two and look forward to seeing you embark this new journey together.

Featured Article ProcessEdit
We are currently looking to change the process for Featured Articles. Since our membership has been growing, and more and more really great are being written, Articles are beginning to overlap. For example, today I put up User:Careax's excellent Scooter page, and on the same day, Libertarian got its required 5 votes. Dilemma. So, in the interest of fairness, one idea is to make the Featured Articles get at least one week on the front page. If no other articles are voted Featured at that time, then it will get a longer stay.
Anyway, please post any and all ideas you might have to improve this process. This is going to probably be a constant problem as the site continues to grow, but it is not a bad problem to have. So, in closing, please be patient while we work things out. Thanks. --MC Esteban™ 22:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Just brainstorming: I wonder if there's a way to make the "features box" work like a template that rotates the features, like the truthiness slogans we run on the front page (above the article count)? That way, we could have more than one "new" feature at a time. I don't know whether people would even want this, but it seems like one possible solution that wouldn't create a backlog. We could also maybe work this so that we just kept a certain number in queue (five, or potentially even the ten in the sidebar), so that if we didn't have any new "features" for a while, the features box wouldn't look stagnant (because it wouldn't look like we had the "same" feature up there for a month, etc.).
- Another potential solution I could see would be to just make the box bigger, move stuff around on the Main Page, and put up more than one at a time? Again, I don't know if people would go for this, just trying out idears.
- Thanks for bringing this up for discussion. And many, many thanks for all the work you have been doing to archive the older features in order to open them up for editing - I know that has to be a ton of work! --thisniss 01:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's a good idea. But having multiple current featured articles at once sounds a little complicated to me. It makes my solitary brain cell hurt. :-( And I'd be wary of making the featured article box any bigger, as it's already pretty big. Of course, you're idea of moving/shrinking stuff would probably resolve that concern.
- Another possibility would be to allow a backlog of winning featured articles to build up to a certain number (maybe 4 or 5), and then lock down the nominations page temporarily. A big message on the top could say that it will be open for nominations again once the backlog has been reduced (something funnier than that obviously though). Once the pending winners count goes down to 1 the page is reopened.
- The advantage of this approach is that it keeps the process orderly, especially with the policy of featuring an article for at least once per week. The downside is that it might discourage people from nominating. But I think that's unlikely. I think this wiki has easily passed that critical mass of active users now, where things like featured articles will not stagnate again. I feel a bigger disadvantage could be that it might not be a good long-term fix.
- I like the idea of featured articles staying for a set number of days. I'm not sure that number needs to be a week - and in some cases, like the Easter article, Easter had come and gone and the article remained - it just looked like we were slow on the uptake. I don't see a problem with a que of featured articles on-deck and I think when an article is particularly timely or has an expiration date (like Easter) then maybe we should look at the articles in the que and promote one over the other based on this. I think we want the featured articles to be "relevant" in some way. So the Iraq War, would be more relevant than the Vietnam War, but less relevant than, say, an article on famous metaphors. Just my 2 copper... --Alethic Logic 16:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- The real issue with the Features Nomination process, in my experience, has been that it seems to ebb and flow so much. When we all have a spurt of creativity, we get a bunch of articles nominated at once, and then when we're all busy (say, for example, when all the folks who are in school are off taking finals...) then we have a period where not a lot of new "feature-length" articles are getting written and/or nominations and voting seem to be down. So at one end, articles don't seem to have "enough" time, and at the other, they seem to spend way too much time on the front page. I believe the solution is to actually decide on a time span - for example, a Feature will stay on the Front Page for "at least three, but no more than ten days" (these are arbitrary, it can be whatever we decide seems reasonable). This should solve the problem of the "queue" - it shouldn't matter how many articles are nominated at once, because we will have a system in place for rotating through them.
- If there are no "new" features at the end of the "10 days" (or whatever length) for the last new Feature's "run," then what? Well, then I believe that rather than simply keeping this article up on the Main Page until something new gets Featured, we should start cycling back through the older features. This will have a few advantages, as I see it: 1) It will keep the Main Page from looking stagnant - I really, really hate it when we have the same "Feature" up for more than maybe two weeks at the most. It does make us look "slow on the uptake" (and not just with seasonal pieces, like Easter, but in general). 2) It will mean that some of the pieces that got "rushed" during a spate of features (pieces that got a "shorter run") will get to spend more time on the Main Page when they come back around. 3) It gives us a chance to revisit our old Features, which, you know, should be some of our best articles. So... them's my two cents (keep going this way and Wikiality.com will be rich. Rich I tell you!!) --thisniss 16:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Locking edits for featured pages. Edit
I think we should discontinue permanently locking the editing of featured pages. I do believe that locking a winning page for brief bit is appropriate in order to (1) preserve the page in all its raging glory and (2) prevent unholy vandalism that unnecessarily follows on a newly faddish page. However, locking "featured pages" deprives forthcoming generations of thoughtful additions to worldly knowledge. Indeed, like Catholic Church's dogma, these "apples of our eyes" need to be perpetually shined, polished, fertilized, and sometimes pruned to maintain divine status. By locking our pages, are we no different that the Amish, who have arbitrarily chosen to freeze time in the 1830's?
Methinks a 30 day edit-lock should be in place from the time an article is featured, after which, improvements should be allowed.
--Wskitche 05:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree 100% with Wskitche's suggestion. A lot of the Featured Articles tend to be topics or subjects that Stephen revisits or continually exapnds on and we need to be able to update them accordingly. --El Payo 05:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- I second that --Superfan 20:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- I also believe that there may be pages that haven't been considered for Featured status (or that I wouldn't personally consider nominating) for this very reason. With the current system in place, I wouldn't nominate a page that I didn't think could be "locked" - which basically rules out most of the pages that are based on topics that Stephen talks about a lot (like the gays, not that this particular pages is currently in "Feature" shape, but it could be... you get the hypothetical here). While I understand the desire to lock a featured page so that new users will see the truthy version that won the featured status, I also feel the frustration of a static version which seems antithetical to an ongoing wiki development.
- Maybe there is another compromise available, too? The "30 Day Rule" seems like a good one, but perhaps we could also keep an archive of featured pages in their "Featured Form"? I don't know if that's even possible, or if that would just be getting into a bunch of unnecessary superfluous pages. Just brainstorming.--thisniss 03:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I like Thisniss's suggestion of archiving winning featured page (and linking to it from the main page) and keeping the original page "hot." I don't think this would be too difficult, we could just link to the archived history page. Lets keep talking about this and change our Amish ways. --Wskitche 18:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- We could keep the article in it's locked featured state linked on the front page after the 30 day archival as well. We would include a link from that to the editable page, and vice versa. 30 day limit sounds good to me. --MC Esteban™ 21:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- If the MC™ agrees with this, then I also agree.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 21:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- K, I think the proposal has passed and I will implement the changes suggested.
- 30 day time limit for Featured Article Protection.
- After 30 days, the page will be moved to the subdirectory, "Featured"
- The front page will always link to the featured article as it was when voted in.
- The archive and editable pages will be prominently cross-linked (Template?)
- If anyone has a dissenting opinion, please post it and we can always change it back to the former method or think of something different.--MC Esteban™ 21:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Feature Article rotation (as proposed by thisniss)Edit
I see the truthiness slogans on the front page aren't rotating any more. :| But anyway, thisniss's idea sounds good to me. :) In terms of the Wiki markup, conceptually it just involves using the <choose><option> thingy. The only problem I can see, is that someone must still keep track of when each article should be retired from the rotation. Bi 15:44, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Who We Serve
Tulane Community Health Center serves populations within New Orleans with limited access to primary care.
We accept Medicaid, Medicare and most Private Insurances, but we also accept all patients regardless of insurance status.
There is a Fee for Service due at the time of the visit for patients who do not have insurance. Your fee may be more based upon your income level. it is important that each patient bring in income information at least once per year to determine individual Fee for Service.
What We Do
The founders of the health center continue their vision of delivering healthcare that focuses on patients' needs outside of the confines that come with typical paradigms of medical care.
We offer comprehensive primary care, including sick and well visits, women's health and chronic disease management in a neighborhood-based medical home.
All patient care is coordinated through an Electronic Health Record.
Our Goals
1. Deliver highly accessible health services using the team-based approach of a Medical Home.
2. Use Health Information Technology to improve the access, quality and acceptability of care
3. Develop innovative and replicable models of care applicable to the health needs of underserved populations in all areas.
4. Collaborate with educational institutions and non-profit partners to provide health professional training opportunities.
Our History
The catastrophic flooding associated with Hurricane Katrina had decimated the healthcare infrastructure of the New Orleans area. From this devastation, a new model for care delivery was born where the old had been destroyed. In this extreme environment, a group of Tulane physicians came together to deliver care in New Orleans to first responders and the citizens of the city who remained behind or returned early. They practiced in tents, in shelters, in police precincts and in mobile vans – wherever they were needed.
The new focus was on team-based primary care located conveniently to patients in "medical homes". Previously, many patients had received primary care through hospitals and emergency departments, often located far from their homes. Under the new model, health conditions are managed continually in a neighborhood health facility, preventing acute health episodes and costly hospitalizations.
One of the 6 sites created during the immediate crisis that followed Katrina was at Covenant House. It began simply as a willing doctor, a card table, a box of supplies, and an ice chest to keep the tetanus vaccines cold. Patients served represent a broad demographic of low-income wage earners, chronically ill, disabled and homeless.
The Mobile Medical Unit was purchased in March 2008 to address the health needs of communities where there was not yet a brick and mortar clinic.
Tulane Community Health Center New Orleans East was founded in 2008 in order to provide access to healthcare to one of the most medically underserved areas of the city.

Colin Edwards Announces Retirement As MotoGP Arrives In Austin
Posted by: newsla on Apr 11, 2014 - 06:37 AM
Colin Edwards Announces Retirement As MotoGP Arrives In Austin
Americans Nicky Hayden, Colin Edwards and Josh Herrin were joined by European MotoGP⢠trio Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi and Bradley Smith to preview the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas on Thursday, with Edwards taking the opportunity to announce his retirement at the end of 2014.
Edwards has been riding professionally for 22 years and has been in MotoGP⢠since 2003, notching up 12 podiums along the way, having come into the World Championship as World Superbike champion. Announcing his decision in the Circuit of the Americas media centre the Texan native joked, âIâm still racing this year though!â
NGM Forward Racing's Edwards went on to explain, âIn testing this year I could see that I need to change my riding style and it is against my instinct to ride differently so that has had an affect. I want to spend more time with my wife and my children and of course I want to say thanks to Yamaha and everyone who has helped me in my career.â
The World Championship leader and defending champion Marquez had been the first to speak to the press, returning to the track where he took his first premier class win last year.
The Repsol Honda rider reflected on that victory and on his 2014 season opening win at Qatar, before giving an update on his fitness having ridden to victory at Losail just over a fortnight ago still recovering from a fractured right leg.
Marquez commented: âI have great memories from 2013 here with my first pole and first victory in MotoGP. My fibula is a little bit better, not perfect but it has improved. I rode in Qatar with painkillers and I will try to ride without them here.â
On the back of his superb duel with Marquez at Losail Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider Rossi was up next on the microphone, previewing round two by stating: âI was very happy with Qatar but here last year was one of my most difficult races. We need to ride at the maximum. The track is long and very difficult.â
Meanwhile, former MotoGP World Champion Hayden is looking forward to his first race in the States with the Drive M7 Aspar team and he added, âWe were in top ten in Qatar but a lot of riders fell off. It is something special here with the home fans and we hope it gives us a boost. This is an amazing facility and Americans should be proud of it. I think there is more of a buzz here this year.â
Sophomore MotoGP rider Smith (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) notched up his first premier class points at COTA last season, so he aims for a strong performance on Sunday after he crashed out at the opening round of 2014 in Qatar.
Smith said, âActually Qatar was great for me for the 18 laps that I stayed on the bike. I learned a lot. Austin is going to be difficult for me I know that, but I have a great package with Tech3 so my goal this weekend is to be as close as possible to the factory Yamaha riders.â
AirAsia Caterham rider Herrin, added, âTo be the only American in Moto2 and to ride here in front of the home crowd is really exciting for me. I need to put Qatar behind me and leave here with a good result. COTA have been great to me giving me plenty of passes for friends and family so I know Iâll have great support.â
There were plaudits for the retiring Edwards from the other riders with Rossi admitting, âI am very sad about the news of Colin's retirement as he is one of my best friends in the paddock. He is a great guy and a great rider.â
Marquez commented with a smile, âColin started riding at the top when I was just two years old. I hope I can ride for as long as he has and I think he can be really proud of his career.â
Edwardsâ compatriot Hayden concluded âI always look at Colin and admire the energy he has with so many miles and so many years behind him. Itâs a shame to be losing a fellow American from the sport. I hope he takes it easy for the rest of the year and takes it easy on the rest of us!â
After the press conference Texas Tornado Edwards was joined by Hayden and Herrin to compete in COTA's Cowboy Challenge, which pitted the Americans against three riders from the old continent - Stefan Bradl, Tito Rabat and Niccolo Antonelli. The riders of Team USA and Team Europe competed in two cowboy challenges - cattle roping and horseshoes - with coaching and guidance from a real Texan cowboy, Keith Moon.
The Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas gets underway at 9am local time in Austin, Texas (GMT -5 hours) with FP1 for the Moto3⢠riders. MotoGP FP1 follows at 9.55am, with the Moto2⢠riders heading out on track at 10.55am for their first session of the weekend.

One of the most important things that a president does to influence the economy is prepare/propose/haggle/& eventually sign, a federal budget. The federal budget in the first year of a president's term is set by the president in the previous year, so I used one year as a time lag. For instance, Kennedy took office in January, 1961, but he had effectively no budgetary influence until the new federal fiscal year began in the following October. Thus, I assigned 1961 as a Republican year as well.
The idea for this data set came from Michael Kinsley, writing for the Los Angeles Times, in an opinion column published in August, 2004. He took some of these variables and calculated the means of each variable within each party and compared them. He did not account for the variability in the data nor did he attempt any valid statistical inferences. For instance, just because the mean unemployment under Democratic presidents was smaller than that under Republican presidents does not mean that the result was unlikely to have happened under chance alone.
Which presidents, Republican or Democratic, are the best stewards of the US economy?

Hugh Grant Joins Man From U.N.C.L.E.
He'll be the head of British Naval Intelligence
As he builds his cast for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. to start shooting in September, Guy Ritchie isn't just looking for leading Men From U.N.C.L.E. He's also filling out supporting roles and has locked down Hugh Grant to make an appearance.
Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer are the stars of the film adapted from the 1960s spy show, playing special agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin respectively. They work for the United Network Command for Law Enforcement, forever on guard against the evils of T.H.R.U.S.H. Which is, as we seemingly always have to point out, an evil terrorist organisation, not something that requires a special cream from Boots.
Grant is set to play the head of British Naval Intelligence, which is ironic given how hard he's campaigned to stop people spying on him. He joins a cast that also includes Alicia Vikander and recent recruit Elizabeth Debicki.
Ritchie co-wrote the current draft of the script with Sherlock Holmes collaborator Lionel Wigram, working from earlier versions by Scott Z. Burns.
Grant was last seen in multiple roles in Cloud Atlas and is at work on a new rom-com with Marc Lawrence, playing a once-hot screenwriter who finds love while slumming it teaching at a small college.

Brynn Clare: First of all, you can't grow long hair quickly. It grows at its own rate no matter what. So your title is already wrong. Second, you can't train your hair not to get oily. That also happens at its natural rate, and your sebaceous glands cannot sense when the oil is stripped or if it is just sitting there. Third, your hair does not look long at all, or even longer than it was. Long hair is down to your elbows and past.
zoey tucker: Can you please do a "how to stay in shape" video? Xoxo
yenni867: I used to wear my hair up a lot(nearly the whole first semester of school) so now it grew longer at a length that was noticed by my mom and friends at school so like when I was 7 I lost a lot of hair due to stress to the point that I had a bald spot so my mom got me this shampoo that had a main ingredient as CHILE PEPPER...I know, but it works if you're desperate but it makes your hair dry but you could use a hydrating hair mask to fix that; thank you for the upload really enjoyed :))

Press Release: New Study Details Effects of Climate Change On U.S. Agriculture
For Immediate Release:
February 10, 1999
Contact: Shannon Hunt / Kelly Sullivan
(202) 289-5900
New Study Details Effects of Climate Change On U.S. Agriculture
Projected Regional Impacts on Agriculture Outlined: New Report is First in Series Examining Environmental Impacts of Climate Change
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Climate change has the potential to affect livestock and crops, local agricultural economies and crop production trends according to a new report by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, which examines the effects of climate change on agriculture. The report finds that while climate change is not expected to threaten the ability of the U.S. to produce enough food to feed itself through the next century, some U.S. agricultural regions, particularly in the north, are expected to benefit, while others, primarily in the south, could face adverse impacts.
The report, released today at a press conference on Capitol Hill, notes that the resiliency and adaptability of the U.S. agricultural sector has made it one of the country's most productive industries and gives the sector the ability to adapt to the changes associated with climate change. However, the report also finds that there remains a potential for negative effects, and particular regions, especially those in the south, will face greater obstacles in adapting to the challenges posed by climate change.
"Anyone with a stake in agriculture should be interested in the findings of this report, which shows that the farming industry we know today will not be the same in the future under the effects of climate change," said Eileen Claussen, Pew Center Executive Director.
At Wednesday's press conference, Agriculture Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Senator Bob Kerrey (D-NE) both issued statements supporting the Pew Center's efforts to inform American agricultural producers about the potential impacts of climate change.
According to the report, climate change could cause grain yields to fall significantly in southern states, while in the north, longer growing seasons could increase yields of grains such as wheat. Changes in grain production and foraging regions could also cause shifts in the locations of livestock production. Uncertainty in the models does not allow precision in identifying localized effects.
The study finds that in order to develop the most accurate and credible assessment of the possible impacts of climate change, it is important to consider adaptation and human response, as well as to continue to develop improved climate change forecasts. But, given the potential impacts, farmers and the agricultural community must consider new strategies in the face of uncertainty.
The report states that the emerging consensus from modeling studies is that the net effects on U.S. agriculture, with a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, may be small. But, these models may understate long-range impacts if the rate or magnitude of greenhouse gas emissions exceed projected levels. For example, extreme events - such as storms, droughts and early and late frosts caused by climate change - also could play a role in determining the ultimate impact of climate change on agriculture.
Additionally, secondary impacts of climate change, such as the potential for higher ozone levels, impacts on water resources and pest populations, contribute to the uncertainty and pose additional challenges not only to individual producers, but also larger agricultural economies.
The value of U.S. agricultural commodities exceeds $165 billion at the farm level and over $500 billion after processing and marketing. "The role of the U.S. agricultural sector is too important for us to ignore these findings," said Claussen. "The agricultural community can adapt to climate change, but adaptation takes time and resources, and with uncertainties related to the timing and magnitude of temperature changes, not all opportunities for adaptation are likely to be realized."
This report is the first in a series of environmental impact reports slated to be released by the Pew Center this year. Other reports in this series will assess what is known about the impact of climate change on weather and includes analyses of its impact on water resources, coastal areas, human health, ecosystems, and forests.
A copy of the report, "A Review of Impacts to U.S. Agricultural Resources," is available on the Pew Center web site at www.c2es.org.
The Pew Center was established in May 1998 by the Pew Charitable Trusts, one of the nation's largest philanthropies and an influential voice in efforts to improve the quality of America's environment. The Pew Center is conducting studies, launching public education efforts, promoting climate change solutions globally and working with businesses to develop marketplace solutions to reduce greenhouse gases. The Pew Center is led by Eileen Claussen the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs.

Biological therapy for penile cancer
Biological therapy is sometimes used to treat penile cancer. It is also called biotherapy or biological response modifiers (BRMs).
Biological therapy uses natural or manufactured substances to kill, control or change the behaviour of cancer cells. Different types of biological therapies work in different ways.
Biological therapy may be used to treat:
- precancerous conditions of the penis
- carcinoma in situcarcinoma in situA very early stage of cancer in which tumour cells have not yet invaded surrounding tissues.
Drugs, doses and schedules vary from person to person.
Biological therapy drugs
The most common biological therapy drug used to treat cancer is topical 5% imiquimod (Aldara) cream. It is usually applied 5 times per week for about 6 weeks.
For more detailed information on specific drugs, go to sources of drug information.
See a list of questions to ask your doctor about biological therapy.
Reducing the burden of cancer
Canadians can help CCS fund the best research and support people living with cancer by donating and volunteering.

The Belgium international picked up the injury during Wednesday night's 2-1 defeat at Tottenham and boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed he is facing up to three weeks on the sidelines.
It gives Wenger another huge headache as the injuries start to stack up at the Emirates Stadium and the Frenchman is running out of options at the back with William Gallas also on the sidelines.
"Certainly it is a calf strain. (He will be out for) two to three weeks," Wenger confirmed.

BANFF -- The politics of pollution was the theme on the slopes at Sunshine Village yesterday.
Alec Baldwin, Justin Trudeau and Jason Priestley were just a few of the celebrities who participated in the Fairmont Banff Springs Celebrity Sports Invitational for the Robert Kennedy Jr. Waterkeeper Alliance this weekend at Sunshine Village.
The stars are in Banff to help raise awareness about water conservation in North America and they were eager to share their thoughts on Canada's environmental policies.
Baldwin, a long time supporter of Waterkeeper, said Canadians should start thinking about long-term water conservation methods now.
"You (Canada) have so much of what people want here ... Don't do what other people have done, don't do what the U.S. did, which is to put off until tomorrow what should be done today -- protect the resources," said Baldwin, who is known for his active interest in politics.
"We are approaching a time when water will be traded as a commodity in this world."
About 50 Hollywood celebs are in Alberta this weekend, hitting the Rocky Mountain ski slopes, tobogganing, skiing and participating in other organized snow games.
Canadian politico Justin Trudeau was also on hand with mom Margaret Trudeau.
Before the mother-son team hit the snow shoe relay race, Trudeau told reporters it's time Canadians started paying attention to "looming water shortage problems."
"We sit back and say oh, we have lots of fresh water here -- that kind of thinking has got us into trouble, right here in Alberta where there are severe water shortages looming on the horizon as we speak," said Trudeau.
"I think the (federal) conservative government is beholden to interests that make it impossible for them to care properly about the environment."
Model Christie Brinkley, Daryl Hannah, Kelsey Grammer, Tim Robbins and his wife Susan Sarandon are also expected in Banff this weekend.
Canadian Jason Priestley, of 90210 fame, said the issues surrounding water conservation are particularly dear to him.
"I'm from B.C., so anything I can do to take care of the waterways and the salmon habitat is important to me," said the actor, movie-maker, and winery owner.
This is the eighth year in a row the Waterkeeper event has been hosted in Banff.
The stars hit the hill at Sunshine Village yesterday and today to toboggan, biathlon, and dual giant slalom races.
Last year, the Waterkeeper event raised more than $1 million, with tickets for tonight's gala selling for $500 for the public and $10,000 for a gold table.

Students apply to the nursing program during the fall semester of their sophomore year and if accepted, will begin the nursing program in the spring of their sophomore year.
Plan to take Anatomy/Physiology I prior to spring nursing courses.
CPR certification implies successful completion of the 2 year expiration Healthcare Provider or Professional Rescuer CPR course for adults, children and infants. Other types of CPR courses do not meet this requirement. CPR certification MUST BE RENEWED PRIOR TO THE FALL TERM IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR IN WHICH IT EXPIRES.
Students should check with the Registrar's Office to ensure that transcripts from other institutions have been received. Applicants will be at a disadvantage if coursework taken at other institutions has not been transferred to CSS.
Applications to the major will be reviewed annually in October with an admission status report sent to the student prior to registration for spring semester classes. Admissions will be finalized after fall semester grades are posted. Students will be notified of changes in their admission status via campus email in January. A printed copy will also be sent to the address the student supplied with their application to the major.

"Migraines are a vascular problem, but EEGs to not pick up or make any abnormal looking waves from a headache. They don't detect ANY sort of blood flow, just electrical activity. I am a lisenced EMT/RN who has worked in an EMU for 6 years, and EEGs DO NOT pick up headaches"Vascular problems do indeed show up on EEG, if blood flow is compromised - there are EEG changes. If there is a vascular change affecting the blood flow, the neurons are deprived of oxygenized blood - thus cannot produce normal EEG waves, normal electrical impulses. So electrical impulses DO depend on blood flow - and yes, true vascular migraines can be picked up on the EEG during an attack. Not between events unless there has been previous and permanent neuronal damage.Mexican Fire - check out EEG during stroke and vasospasm - both are vascular condition and both have EEG changes.Migraines are often misdiagnosed as epilepsy and vise versa.
RE: EEG's
Still a little confused...not surprising if those in the 'know' not sure...I'm interested because daughter has epilepsy and headaches-migraines run in family and sometimes I have scorchers including tunnel vision, vomiting,tingling/numbness down arms, garbled speech. Interested in the defining line here.Daughter is photosensitive which causes myoclonus and very short eye-flutter. Son is dyslexic too by the way...what a family!Any more ideas?Thanks both of you.
RE: RE: EEG's
Hi,I am not surprised you are confused. I was having trouble being diagnosed. The Jury was out whether I had a complex migraine or was having a stroke/or seizure. I finally had an episode infront of a doctor. Finally he diagnosed "Yep that was definately a seizure".Oops gotta go get my kid, I'll be back.Dayna
RE: RE: RE: EEG's
Interestingly enough there are a few more things an EEG can do like pick up imfor about areas of cognitive problems one is having by the brain wave activity of lack of. They are more usable than I thought until my Epileptologist arranged for me to have one for this exact purpose to find out problems I was experiencing in cognitive areas. I was surprised but they can. Technology is always learning more.
RE: RE: EEG's
Epilepsy and Migranine are sort of the same. Epilepsy just gives you seizures. Dont know if they show up on the EEG. My sister has epilepsy and her husband has migranies. You put those two genes together and she has two daughters. One with epilepsy and one with migranies. It is like putting two parents with epilepsy together. I hope I explained that right.http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach/Lisa
Re: EEG's
Ellgee thanks for this information! EEGs are all so confusing and we do need accurate info to help figure it out. MY dd and I have migraines, she was having seizures for a brief time, now resolved. Her second EEG was abnormal, putting her on medication. Her first and third were normal....I appreciate having the facts to understand her situations and how EEG is and is not affected by migraine.
My son has had one possible migraine but many seizures. He has some abnormal and many normal EEGs because he has not ever had a seizure during testing.
Thanks again!

Examples from literature
- A conspicuous example is the proposed adoption of the decimal system in coinage and weights and measures.
- A purely decimal system of coins would be an intolerable nuisance, because it would require a greatly increased number of small coins.
- He wrote textbooks of astronomy, geometry and medicine, and introduced the Arabic numbers and the decimal system into Europe.
- The great advantage of these numbers is, that they proceed on the decimal system—that is, they denote different values according to their relative places, each character signifying ten times more accordingly as it occupies a place higher.
- The simple and scientific method of computation by what is called the decimal system, is used at this moment, we are told, by more than half the human race.

Eight of Wands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eight of Wands is a Minor Arcana Tarot card. In the Rider-Waite deck, the card shows eight diagonal staves of staggered length angled across an open landscape with river, as designed by artist Pamela Colman Smith.
Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[1]
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]
Divinatory purposes[edit]
A card of action; swiftness. Conveys immediate information or action. News swiftly travelling. Because the suit of Wands relates to information, look for new communication and unexpected news. Depending on surrounding cards in the draw, may indicate the speed of these events.
Key Meanings[edit]
The key meanings of the Eight of Wands:[3]
- Hasty actions
- Journey and Travel
- A Journey or Flight
- Motion
- End to a delay

Once again, I'm linking up with Andrea for a show and tell Tuesday. Todays theme is about our tribes.
Man. This is going to be a tough post. I've never been a girls girl. Always the girl with more boy friends, than girl friends. The best friend I ever had was a boy. A lot of girl friendships come with pettiness and jealousy. I don't have time for that.
I had a great group of girlfriends in High School. We didn't have any classes together or even go to the same school, but we were always together. Mostly at someones house, watching movies, going on late night drives through the city. When you're young, it easier for friendships to last. Were in the sam english class, she's my neighbor, we both really love the same band.
As you get older, you grow, you learn who you are and come into your own. One of the downsides of this, is the friendship casualties. I chose not to go to college, honestly I didn't have the grades. Friends joined sororities, started dating people the others didn't know, studied abroad, had a baby(me).
sorry for the crappy quality. circa 2003.
We grew and I drifted away. I'm friends with a lot of them on Facebook. It's been such a joy to watch them succeed. Get amazing jobs, fall in love, get promoted, get married. I miss them everyday.
With change, comes new friendships.
My little lover. Leah and I met in high school, we were summer camp counselors together. We kept in touch and one day, she posted a 3 month belly bump pic on Myspace. I texted her and said, funny story, I'm pregnant too. The rest is history. Our boys are best friends. She's my rock, she'll talk me down whenever I'm about to lose my shit. I do the same for her. She's so thoughtful and smart. Sometimes I don't think were anything alike but we fit perfectly.
My little baby Frida. Her real name is Felicia. We met waiting tables. Literally looked at each other and became best friends. She's such an amazing friend, we've been on vacation together, been through heartbreak together, fought, made up. Been black out drunk, done stalkerish activities together. She lives in Oregon now :( We don't get to talk as much as we would like, but we love each other fiercely and always have each others backs.
The move to Texas was a tough one. I'm different than a lot of the women out here. I've made a few friends, other moms with kids, but it wasn't until this past year that I've made some great girlfriends.
Were just missing Shelby
I'd share some of our group chat, but I'm no snitch. I love being able to talk to them about things that matter, politics, rape, body image, as well as superficial stuff.
So now that I'm done rambling, I think its important to remember that your tribe shifts, it changes, it takes breaks.
Thanks Andrea for the fun linkup!

New Milk Product Will Knock You Out Like A Light
If you think milk makes you tired now, just wait until you try Nightmilk Crystals! On the plus side if you have trouble sleeping this could be the answer. A new moo juice crammed with sleep inducing melatonin is being produced by a herd of 1,400 cows that are milked between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. The German company Milchkristalle says the resulting milk has 10 times the amount of the hormone. Then it's freeze dried into a product called Nightmilk Crystals, which can be mixed with regular milk or yogurt and eaten at bedtime. The results have amazed people.

Make splashes with water safety this summer
Having fun in the water is one of the best ways to cool off on a hot summer day. For most children, safety is not top of mind, which is why parent or guardians need to help children understand that safety comes first. According to Safe Kids USA, during the warm months of summer, there is an 89 percent spike in child deaths due to drowning.
Who doesn't want to go swimming when the water is warm? Sadly, according to Safe Kids USA, 9 out of 10 child deaths from drowning happen when the parents looked away for a second . Parents and guardians need to know a few quick tips and requirements about water safety.
Supervise. Actively watch and supervise children in and around water. A parent or guardian should supervise their own child, even if there is a lifeguard on duty. Try having a conversation with your child from the shore or pool's edge, or take part in a game.
Life jackets. It is important that parents and guardians understand the importance of life jackets. Life jackets come in different styles and this means they fit differently. To make sure you are using a life jacket correctly, read the directions before you use it. Remember, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets always are to be used when a child is on a boat or when he or she is playing water sports.
Swimming lessons. Get your child involved in swimming lessons when he or she turns 4. When teaching a child to swim, also teach him or her to go into the water feet first .
Secure your pool. For those of you with pools at home, one requirement is to put fencing around the pools that's at least 4 feet high, and the gates should close and latch automatically. This will help keep children out of the pool area when it's not in use.

"Golden Boy", who has been out of the ring since 2004, stopped Mayorga in the sixth round after a blistering assault.
Mayorga had insulted De la Hoya in the build-up and paid the price as his opponent launched into him with awesome power from the opening seconds.
De la Hoya said: "That has to be ranked up there in my top five fights ever."
De la Hoya had Mayorga on the floor after just 30 seconds with two scything left hooks.
The Nicaraguan held on and fought back in the second round with an excellent overhand right.
But he was throwing too many loose punches and left himself open to more punishment.
De la Hoya needed no second invitation and proceeded to give Mayorga a lesson in ring craft.
A series of thudding body shots opened up Mayorga's defences before a left-right combination left him on his knees.
Mayorga climbed back to his feet but was a broken man, and De la Hoya finished him off with another flurry of hooks.
Mayorga's ill-advised claims pre-fight that he wanted to stop De la Hoya's heart or detach his retina - among other things - served only to motivate his illustrious opponent.
The new champion said afterwards: "The message was that I was going to stand up to the bully.
"He motivated me so much by talking about my life. He was going to talk bad about me and that motivated me.
"This guy was perfect because he was throwing wild punches. I stood my ground, and that showed the bully - 'hey - you're not pushing me back'."
De la Hoya is now aiming for a farewell fight in September - possibly against ring superstar Floyd Mayweather, whose father trains De la Hoya - before returning to the promoting business.
He said: "I'll sit down with my people and my wife and work out which fight can get me the most glory."
The 33-year-old Rivera, a former WBA welterweight champion, dropped Garcia five times in Worcester Massachusetts.
On the undercard, Nicaragua's IBF super flyweight champion Luis Perez won a controversial split decision over Russia's Dimitri Kirilov.

timeout even with 50 posts
Resolved ptroxler
Plugin Author Sudar Muthu
Did you try to increase the amount of memory that is allocated to PHP?
I have the same issue on wp 3.2.1. When I try to delete even a single category with first 10 posts I get a 500 Internal Server Error. My admin dashboard index also gives this error. I have inserted this code at the top of wp-config.php and wp-settings.php :
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '190M');
I have also edited my php5.ini files on my godaddy host to allow memory limit 190M. Also tried replacing Admin with a clean install copy.
We have over 7k posts.
Any suggestions.
If it's a problem with memory, then it should just timeout and you will get a blank page.
Since you are getting 500, it means there was some error which has happened at the server side. Can you check the PHP error log and tell me what was the exact error you are getting?
Also which version of PHP you are using?
We are using php5. My error logs are taking a long time to update, but I do notice the number of posts is going down even if I get the 500 Internal Server Error. So the plugin seems to be working on some of the posts. My Admin Dashboard index.php page is now working, perhaps I have reduced the number of posts to a manageable level. I'll post error logs when I can get them. Thanks for creating and supporting the plugin. It is useful despite the issues.
Okay, I think I can guess what is happening now.
Your host for some reason is killing the PHP process midway. I guess they have some kind of throttling in place.
Let me know once you get the error log, so that we can confirm it.
My IP is 220.127.116.11 in eastern standard time(US) I did the following:
7:06 PM 9/11/2011 tried to access dashboard index got internal server error
7:11 PM 9/11/2011 tried to access dashboard index got internal server error
7:16 PM 9/11/2011 tried to run a bulk delete operation -internal server error
8:04 PM 9/11/2011 tried to run bulk delete on all revisions, first 40
The error logs from this period from my IP :
[Sun Sep 11 16:06:49 2011] [warn] [client 22.214.171.124] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
[Sun Sep 11 16:06:49 2011] [error] [client 18.104.22.168] Premature end of script headers: index.php
It seems not all timeouts/errors are getting logged. I have many 40 second timeouts in the error log. Do you think this is a host throttle issue?
Yes this is because of the host's throttling. I guess they are timing out PHP execution after 40 seconds.
If you have access to the php.ini file, then try to increase the timeout. If you don't have access, then you may have to contact your host's customer support.

Jeannette Walls lived a nomadic childhood, setting up precariously with her family in small towns throughout the country, until each time her father decided it was time to 'skedaddle.' As an adult, she examined her childhood in the memoir, The Glass Castle. Walls will visit St. Louis on Tuesday, Oct. 23, as part of Maryville University's St. Louis Speakers Series. LN sat down with her in advance of her speaking engagement.
LN: Even though you had such an unconventional childhood, it seems like your parents were very concerned with raising you and your siblings to be educated and resourceful. Do you think you were taught some valuable lessons?
JW: I learned a lot of lessons in the process of telling my story, and they were lessons I should have learned a long time ago. My story was a source of shame for me for so long. I was convinced if people knew the truth about me, it would be the end of my career and my life as I knew it. I thought they would hold me in contempt and ridicule me for my story, but it's the opposite. People are so compassionate and smart, and cut me a lot more slack than I cut myself.
But to get back to the question, for all my parents didn't give me, they gave me some incredible gifts, and primary among them were a love of education and learning, and a sense of self-esteem. If an adult can give a child that, the rest is gravy. The world is full of opportunities if you have the tools and confidence to go out and make life what you want to make it.
LN: Your childhood included a lot of scary and unsafe situations. What do you think helped make you so resilient?
JW: I credit my father, he may have been a con man or whatever you like to call him, but he was absolutely brilliant about spinning things in a way that you couldn't argue with it. He'd say, Ordinary kids couldn't put up with this, but you're extraordinary, that's why it doesn't bother you! I totally bought into it; it's a matter of perspective. He never built his glass castle, but it served its purpose. It was an illusion that I clung to for as long as I could.
I do a lot of talks and in one case, all the people were really going on about how difficult my life was, and a woman in the front raised her hand and said she was from Liberia, and my life really wasn't so bad. All the people gasped like I was going to be affronted, but of course I wasn't! People in many parts of the world and even in America don't have an indoor toilet, but it's so much what you choose to make of it. If you go around with a chip on your shoulder, that's the tragedy. It's not about the hand that was dealt to you, it's about sitting down and saying, If this is the hand I was dealt, let me play the bejezus out of it. We tend to obsess about things that don't matter. If you have a childhood like mine, you can separate real crises from the little things.
LN: When bad things happened, your family seemed to get over it pretty quickly. Why do you think that is?
JW: I sat down and wrote the book, and the first time I read it back I was a little stunned. I thought, some pretty wicked things happened to me, didn't they? That's why I encourage people contemplating writing their story to do it, because we all know things we didn't realize we know. That's how I've been able to function, and when you're ready to confront things, then you can. I don't know if I should say it was a defect or a skill my parents gave me. As with so many defense mechanisms, it's a little of both.
LN: As an adult, did you make a conscious decision to put down roots, unlike your parents?
JW: I'm the most rooted person! I love my home; I love my stability. Yes, it's a very conscious thing. I have four flush toilets in my house and when I flush one, I say thank you God! I love the fact that I have a home, and I never get over it that I can go to the grocery store and buy whatever I want. But if I lost it all, I'd be OK. That's one of the great things about a childhood like this. You come to separate wanting things from needing things.
LN: Your father has passed away now, but how have you resolved your feelings toward him? And how is your relationship with your mother?
JW: My mother lives with me, and she's a hoot and a half, but she'll never be the sort of mom who worries about me. She has no idea when my birthday is. She has an astonishing wealth of knowledge, but mundane, day-to-day stuff doesn't interest her—and her children's birthdays are included in that. People ask why I'm not angry at her for not taking better care of us, but she couldn't really take care of herself.
I love my dad and I always will miss him terribly; though if he was still alive, I would keep thinking I could cure his alcoholism and get him on the wagon, and I couldn't. Anyone who's loved an alcoholic knows they can be incredibly charismatic, but they'll break your heart. I idolized my dad because he always made me feel like a million bucks. I don't know if I could have written the book when he was alive. I discussed it with my brother, Brian: Did I betray Dad? And my brother said, Curse him or bless him, he didn't care as long as you were saying his name, he loved it.
LN: Any final thoughts?
JW: I think so many of us have these gifts that we don't realize, and I would always encourage people to tell their stories, because in the process of writing you have to be honest with yourself. In telling my story, if I've made anybody understand their story better, that's what it's all about. That's why I love speaking to people. If I can see one person in the audience light up or come to terms with their story, then my time is more than worth that.
