At the end of their segment, the BBC commentator Hazel Irvine noted how dizzy they must be.
The CBS network has now been switched off for millions of viewers, and the propaganda war would make George Orwell dizzy.
Insert your own 'headed for dizzy heights' princess joke here.
"As a result, doing both exercise and a cleanse can leave you feeling tired, dizzy and nauseous," she says.
The New York Post quoted a source saying, "He had been taking blood pressure medication and had experienced some dizzy spells."
Harriet's climbing was not so rapid as to make her dizzy; but business was coming.
You wouldn't lean over the edge, Johnnie, and go all dizzy, and fall?
She raised her head slowly as if she were dizzy and bewildered.
It was a dizzy sweep across the deck, a breath-taking plunge.
Dallisa's poison-berry-eyes regarded me levelly as I struggled upright, fighting off the dizzy sickness of disgust.
Old English dysig "foolish, stupid," from Proto-Germanic *dusijaz (cf. Low German düsig "dizzy," Dutch duizelen "to be dizzy," Old High German dusig "foolish," German Tor "fool," Old English dwæs, Dutch dwaas "foolish"), perhaps from PIE *dheu- (1) "dust, vapor, smoke; to rise in a cloud" (and related notions of "defective perception or wits").
Meaning "having a whirling sensation" is from mid-14c.; that of "giddy" is from c.1500 and seems to merge the two earlier meanings. Used of the "foolish virgins" in early translations of Matthew xxv; used especially of blondes since 1870s. Related: Dizzily.
Old English dysigan, from source of dizzy (adj.). Related: Dizzied; dizzying.
early 14c., from Old French deien (12c., Modern French doyen), from Late Latin decanus "head of a group of 10 monks in a monastery," from earlier secular meaning "commander of 10 soldiers" (which was extended to civil administrators in the late empire), from Greek dekanos, from deka "ten" (see ten). Replaced Old English teoðingealdor. College sense is from 1570s (in Latin from late 13c.).
Silly; foolish; inane; ditzy •Found as a noun meaning ''foolish man'' by 1825; now mostly used of women, and esp, since the 1870s, of blondes: some dizzy broad (1501+)


text: I'm in Warsaw and going to get some dress boots made, probably from Jan Kielman's. I'm planning to wear these for work, usually with a suit and sometimes business casual. Looking for some inspiration as I will have a lot of leeway in the design of these, any thoughts anyone?

30 Apr
There's a lot of buzz around the University about e-books. Sydney Ideas hosted a lecture by Bill Rankin in conjunction with Apple Computers (if you missed the event, you can still listen to the audio or watch the video), ICT are investigating a University-wide architecture for e-books, the Library and eLearning and SUP have been interested in them for ages, and now lots of areas are looking at how they can get involved with this "new" technology, including us in Marketing and Communications.
e-books have been around a long time (since Project Gutenberg started digitising in 1971) and we all regularly use e-books without even realising that that's what they are – in the form of PDFs or websites.
A traditional book is a very fine thing: it doesn't require power so there's no worry that its batteries will run out. You can read it in direct sunlight. It's (relatively) cheap to produce and to buy. You can curl up in bed with it. It's (usually) light and easy to hold. You can lend it (or borrow it). You can sell it to a second-hand bookshop when you're done with it, hell you can even buy it from a second-hand bookshop in the first place. It feels good. It smells good.
Let's be honest: most of us are a little bit in love with our books.
e-books, on the other hand, require powered hardware in order to access them. Most of us use our desktops or laptops to access e-books and this does not usually make for a pleasant, relaxing reading experience. I'm sure I'm not the only person who usually elects to print PDFs and other e-books to read them.
So what's got us all buzzing? Until now there's been nothing to rival the reading experience you get with a book. Specialised e-book readers have been expensive and hard to use, and relatively few books were available in e-book format.
Two devices look set to change all that. Amazon's Kindle is now available for sale to Australia and Apple will soon release the iPad. Both are designed to serve as e-book readers, and both are significant advances in usability, though they have very important differences and features. We now have a couple of (potentially) really useful possible alternatives to the traditional book, and probably more to follow.
Amazon has almost half a million e-book titles available for purchase from their store, and there are many other sites that sell or distribute e-books. "Millions" of Kindles have been sold according to Amazon (which would seem to mean at least two million). A more interesting claim is that for titles available in both print and digital formats, Amazon sells six Kindle e-books for every 10 actual books.
One device like the Kindle can contain around 1500 books. Imagine how much better that would be for the health of the students who have to lug numerous heavy books around. Added to that are the possibilities that come with digitised multimedia-capable e-books. For example, it's possible to annotate and markup e-books (digital rights management allowing), so assignments could be delivered to, answered in and returned from an e-book reader.
If market penetration of these devices in Australia is sufficiently deep then, what value could they add to the marketing and communications products of the University?
This is the question that a working party from DPM and Internal Communications is addressing. We're looking at existing University products published by our teams and considering what e-book format and devices they might be most suitable for. Using the software we already have for publishing, creating e-books is a small(ish) step akin to creating a PDF. Some of our publications would be very useful to carry around as reference materials (for example, handbooks or map guides).
Distribution of e-books could be done from our website and from other distribution channels established for this purpose by the University. Being promotional items, we don't have to consider issues of digital rights management or price structure – we want to get our messages out to as many of our stakeholders as possible.
Much more exciting though are the possibilities that arise when we consider how we could deliver our marketing and communications messages using the extra functionalities available to e-books. This requires a lot of effort in the planning stage and investment in creating audio and video content, but this content could readily be repurposed for use in our other channels (most importantly on the website).
Neither the Kindle nor the iPad currently meet all of the requirements for an e-book reader that will allow them to replace printed books. The time for e-books overtaking their printed kin is still in the future. But that future is getting closer.

John Mayer Makes Twitter Return
He ditched the microblogging site Twitter back in 2010 and now John Mayer is ready for his return to the Twitterverse!
The "No Such Thing" singer's girlfriend Katy Perry told her fans the good news this past Friday (January 31) via her own account- "FOLLOW FRIDAY @JohnMayer who's account has basically been in a coma state for a couple of year. Let's update him on all the cat youtubes he may have missed pls! Thanks!"
From there, John posted a silly message, though the humor was a little lackluster considering his usually-razor-sharp wit. "I'll be honest, when it came to rejoining twitter, I had mixed emojis."
Still, for a guy who has been out of practice for over 3 years, perhaps Mayer just needs a little time to regain his 140-character footing.
In 2011, John explained his reasoning for ditching the social networking world- "I realized about a year ago that I couldn't have a complete thought anymore, and I was a tweetaholic."
"I had four million Twitter followers, and I was always writing on it. And I stopped using Twitter as an outlet and I started using Twitter as the instrument to riff on, and it started to make my mind smaller and smaller and smaller. And I couldn't write a song."

Kelly Bwrote a review of The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR III Shoe - Women's on March 18, 2012
Great shoe that lasts
I've had these shoes for approximately 3 years now and they've held up nicely. I use them as an everyday shoe and they've kept my feet dry throughout the harsh winters here in Chicago & Milwaukee, provided me with good footing when hiking in Utah's Zion Canyon and a lifesaver when met with a big puddle with no way around it when crossing streets. It is a very comfortable shoe. The sole has great traction whether you're walking on ice, snow, slippery rain soaked surfaces, sand swept rocky terrain, and more. As a person with extremely narrow, flat feet, the standard width works fine for me. Highly recommended.

It does not matter if the value is changed concurrently in between the reading of it and the actual comparison.

If the value has been changed concurrently in between the reading and the actual comparison, the processor sees either a stale value of 0, or the new value 1.

The first check is indeed an optimization. It is the point of this exercise to show that the unguarded reads in the localization library are not defects and the code, simplified in my test case, is thread safe in exactly the respects I mentioned before: the program only observes consistent, correct values (program states) in a concurrent environment.

MAN {Metropolitan Area Network}
Man (1.) Heb. 'Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning "to be red," and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10). (2.) Heb. 'ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33; Matt. 14:21); a husband (Gen. 3:16; Hos. 2:16); man with reference to excellent mental qualities. (3.) Heb. 'enosh, man as mortal, transient, perishable (2 Chr. 14:11; Isa. 8:1; Job 15:14; Ps. 8:4; 9:19, 20; 103:15). It is applied to women (Josh. 8:25). (4.) Heb. geber, man with reference to his strength, as distinguished from women (Deut. 22:5) and from children (Ex. 12:37); a husband (Prov. 6:34). (5.) Heb. methim, men as mortal (Isa. 41:14), and as opposed to women and children (Deut. 3:6; Job 11:3; Isa. 3:25). Man was created by the immediate hand of God, and is generically different from all other creatures (Gen. 1:26, 27; 2:7). His complex nature is composed of two elements, two distinct substances, viz., body and soul (Gen. 2:7; Eccl. 12:7; 2 Cor. 5:1-8). The words translated "spirit" and "soul," in 1 Thess. 5:23, Heb. 4:12, are habitually used interchangeably (Matt. 10:28; 16:26; 1 Pet. 1:22). The "spirit" (Gr. pneuma) is the soul as rational; the "soul" (Gr. psuche) is the same, considered as the animating and vital principle of the body. Man was created in the likeness of God as to the perfection of his nature, in knowledge (Col. 3:10), righteousness, and holiness (Eph. 4:24), and as having dominion over all the inferior creatures (Gen. 1:28). He had in his original state God's law written on his heart, and had power to obey it, and yet was capable of disobeying, being left to the freedom of his own will. He was created with holy dispositions, prompting him to holy actions; but he was fallible, and did fall from his integrity (3:1-6). (See {FALL}.)
MAN, n. An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earh and Canada. When the world was young and Man was new, And everything was pleasant, Distinctions Nature never drew 'Mongst kings and priest and peasant. We're not that way at present, Save here in this Republic, where We have that old regime, For all are kings, however bare Their backs, howe'er extreme Their hunger. And, indeed, each has a voice To accept the tyrant of his party's choice. A citizen who would not vote, And, therefore, was detested, Was one day with a tarry coat (With feathers backed and breasted) By patriots invested. "It is your duty," cried the crowd, "Your ballot true to cast For the man o' your choice." He humbly bowed, And explained his wicked past: "That's what I very gladly would have done, Dear patriots, but he has never run." Apperton Duke

Woman \Wom"an\, n.; pl. {Women}. [OE. woman, womman, wumman, wimman, wifmon, AS. w[=i]fmann, w[=i]mmann; w[=i]f woman, wife + mann a man. See {Wife}, and {Man}.] [1913 Webster] 1. An adult female person; a grown-up female person, as distinguished from a man or a child; sometimes, any female person. [1913 Webster] Women are soft, mild pitiful, and flexible. --Shak. [1913 Webster] And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman. --Gen. ii. 22. [1913 Webster] I have observed among all nations that the women ornament themselves more than the men; that, wherever found, they are the same kind, civil, obliging, humane, tender beings, inclined to be gay and cheerful, timorous and modest. --J.

A female attendant or servant. `` By her woman I sent your message.'' --Shak. [1913 Webster] {Woman hater}, one who hates women; one who has an aversion to the female sex; a misogynist. --Swift. [1913 Webster]

Woman was "taken out of man" (Gen. 2:23), and therefore the man has the preeminence. "The head of the woman is the man;" but yet honour is to be shown to the wife, "as unto the weaker vessel" (1 Cor. 11:3, 8, 9; 1 Pet. 3:7). Several women are mentioned in Scripture as having been endowed with prophetic gifts, as Miriam (Ex. 15:20), Deborah (Judg. 4:4, 5), Huldah (2 Kings 22:14), Noadiah (Neh. 6:14), Anna (Luke 2:36, 37), and the daughters of Philip the evangelist (Acts 21:8, 9). Women are forbidden to teach publicly (1 Cor. 14:34, 35; 1 Tim. 2:11, 12). Among the Hebrews it devolved upon women to prepare the meals for the household (Gen. 18:6; 2 Sam. 13:8), to attend to the work of spinning (Ex. 35:26; Prov. 31:19), and making clothes (1 Sam. 2:19; Prov. 31:21), to bring water from the well (Gen. 24:15; 1 Sam. 9:11), and to care for the flocks (Gen. 29:6; Ex. 2:16). The word "woman," as used in Matt. 15:28, John 2:4 and 20:13, 15, implies tenderness and courtesy and not disrespect. Only where revelation is known has woman her due place of honour assigned to her.
WOMAN, n. An animal usually living in the vicinity of Man, and having a rudimentary susceptibility to domestication. It is credited by many of the elder zoologists with a certain vestigial docility acquired in a former state of seclusion, but naturalists of the postsusananthony period, having no knowledge of the seclusion, deny the virtue and declare that such as creation's dawn beheld, it roareth now. The species is the most widely distributed of all beasts of prey, infesting all habitable parts of the globe, from Greeland's spicy mountains to India's moral strand. The popular name (wolfman) is incorrect, for the creature is of the cat kind. The woman is lithe and graceful in its movement, especially the American variety (_felis pugnans_), is omnivorous and can be taught not to talk. Balthasar Pober

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Grandpa's in town for the season, and it's clearly time to get the old coot married off again. You could pour through Google listings for Golden Years dating services, but here's some advice: the 70-something eye candy at Old Florida Seafood House ought to give him an excellent excuse to refill that Viagra scrip. This three-decades-old Lauderdale institution, complete with busy raw bar, stuffed sharks on the walls, and threadbare carpet, is a favorite with the finest local ladies of a certain age, who arrive on a Sunday evening decked out in their best duds, coifed and manicured and presumably perfectly weddable. You and Gramps can discuss their assets over an appetizer plate of shrimp Florentine ($8.95) and a bowl of oyster stew ($8.95), an entrée of freshly caught fish -- broiled, baked, or sautéed ($18.95 to $21.95), or a plate of sautéed veal with lobster tails (in season). The early-bird special is rather pricey between 4:30 and 5:30 (the three-course meal costs $17.95 Monday through Thursday, $19.95 Friday through Sunday), but it does give the erstwhile ladykiller ample opportunity to linger long enough to get noticed.
It's clean, it's bright, and it serves confections so sweet that your teeth almost rot just looking at them. Gone are the days of Grandma's neighborhood bakery, where only muffins, brownies, and loaves of bread were available. When this company was founded nearly two decades ago during the "Let's Get Physical" '80s, more than 50 flavors of cheesecake and dozens of pies, tortes, and other cakes were delivered to the hungry masses by Celebrity's chefs. Through the no-fat '90s and the "anti-carb" new millennium, this bakery has continued to thrive with loads of options for anyone from the carb-conscious to the reckless. This is your go-to joint for Hello Dollies and brownies ($2.75 each), custom cakes (slices $3.25 to $3.50), platters, and seasonal selections like egg nog and cranberry pumpkin cheesecake ($3.50 to $26). What else makes this a great spot to visit? Lots of little tables, decent cups o' Joe, evening hours, and a personable staff. Cooking classes are held for kids and adults too so you can learn how to make more than just Betty Crocker.
Gourmet Deli House will make you feel like Henny Youngman smack in the middle of Del Boca Vista. Come in the late fall, especially, when you'll hear an old folk's reunion in the line. As you wait to order the signature corned beef ($10.95 a pound) or the lox ($24.50 a pound) or chicken salad ($8.95 a pound), you'll always overhear a couple of codgers talking about Ohio and Pennsylvania and New Yawwwk. Diners in this joint -- and we love this -- sometimes need to be reminded that they'll be charged for the buckets of free pickles and rye bread if they don't order an entrée. Make no mistake, these folks know a bargain. And so do the deli owners, who upon request will even split a loaf of bread in half for frugal deli customers. Just remember to drive slowly in the parking lot.
He's the guy whose name tag says Freddy Scoops. This is Fred Sabloff, co-owner (with Fay Decker) of Maggie Moo's, the Coral Ridge ice cream emporium where they stir your favorite toppings into your flavor of choice on a stone cutting board. What? You didn't know? It's the latest thing. Last year was the store's first full year of operation, and it packed 'em in, with customers clamoring for signature flavors like grape bubblegum, very yellow marshmallow, and udderly cream.
Moo's even gives the ice cream a carny spin or two.
"Our biggest-selling flavor is cotton candy," says the gregarious Sabloff, a New Yorker with a penchant for street scenes. "I go to all the carnivals. I like the excitement. I like the food -- hot dogs on a stick, all the stuff that's not good for you. Mostly, I like to be where there's a lot of people, where people are tumling." Tumulting? "It's like tumult. But it's tuml." That would be Yiddish for noisy, chaotic, and entertaining.
Food as Sideshow
Michael's Kitchen is a showy new restaurant in downtown Hollywood where dinner is as much a spectacle as a food experience. Flames spout from stoves in the open kitchen, frying pans sizzle like lava eruptions, and chefs parade through the place with creatively displayed dishes. This is "Cirque de Soleil dining," says Michael Blum, co-owner (with his wife, Jennie) and namesake of the restaurant. The food? It just tastes good. But the presentation is, well, carnyesque.
Blum, the food showman, feels right at home in the lurid sideshows of county fairs and traveling carnivals. "I like the wow effect -- the 3,000-pound pig and the lady with the 14-inch nose. At the carnival, it's all about the wacky people. That's kind of how I go through my day. We give you in-your-face dining."
Tropical Café has been dishing out flavorful Cuban grub at its present location -- an out-of-the-way store in the Sears shopping center -- for four years (and seven years before that on Andrews Avenue). It's all about the pork -- which is roasted, indelibly touched with garlic and secret herbs -- and the coffee (thick, sweet, hot as a punctured radiator in July). That's why we like owner Humberto Fajardo's peerless breakfast deal. For a mere $4.99, you get an omelet, a layer of that roast pork -- or ham or bacon -- and a slice of Swiss cheese, all pressed into a hunk of Cuban bread, which has been grilled flat in the kitchen's heavy, metal parrilla. Top it off with a steaming hot café con leche. It's what gets us to work every morning.

Employees whose supervisors sexually harass them have a fairly easy time winning their cases. Courts expect employers to carefully train supervisors so they don't engage in any type of behavior that could be construed as sexual harassment.
But courts are much more lenient when the alleged harasser is a co-worker. In fact, they often give employers the benefit of a doubt if they act promptly.
That means employers can relax a little if an employee complains about a co-worker. Fortunately, the alleged harasser's title isn't the deciding factor. Instead, courts look to the actual job responsibilities.
Recent case: Hopelynn Neely worked at a McDonald's restaurant. When a new male assistant manager trainee arrived on the scene, Neely began to experience what she perceived as sexual harassment. She claimed the trainee touched her inappropriately and called her "babe."
Neely complained to the store manager, who brought the matter to HR. It investigated and told the trainee that he would be terminated if he sexually harassed anyone. Since there was no direct evidence (the surveillance camera at the restaurant was broken), he got away with a warning.
The restaurant did put Neely on a different shift so she wouldn't have to interact with the man. Later, their shifts again overlapped and Neely quit after again complaining. She sued, alleging supervisor harassment.
McDonald's argued that the assistant manager trainee didn't have any supervisory powers. He could not hire or fire, make schedules, assign employees to work at particular stations or discipline them.
The court said that meant he was a co-worker, not a supervisor. That saved the restaurant from liability, because the actions management took after Neely complained were reasonable and calculated to stop further harassment. (Neely v. McDonald's, No. 07-2186, 3rd Cir., 2009)

I just watched some episodes of Ally McBeal and I have this to say about the show
I loved the show when it first came on but then I got a job where I had to work 3rd shift so I pretty much quit watching it after the 3rd season.
But I saw they had all 5 seasons of AMcB on Netflix so the past season I watched all of season #1, part of season #2 and then the finale because honestly I was curious to see how it all ended.
First, really - you're a law firm of a bunch of 20-something hot looking lawyers and the ONLY bar in all of Boston is some lounge that has a very annoying lounger singer there every single day of the week. I mean for those of us NOT from Boston this show gives a very poor reflection on the type of entertainment one could expect to find in Boston since it seems like this place was packed all the time. And not only did all the same people go there for happy hour but they seemed to be there for lunch, breaks AND dates. It's like there was absolutely NO OTHER places in Boston to go on a date other than that cafe that served horse meat (it was a case in season #2). Thankfully I've been to Boston and know that the people there have much better taste.
I have no clue how Jane Krakowski ever got another TV show after Ally McBeal. Don't get me wrong - I adore her on '30 Rock', which was a well written part catered to a very talented actress. But for 5 years this poor woman played this beautiful but extremely piss poor self-esteemed person who bragged about being a slut. Was Jane that hard up for a paycheck to play that same character for 5 years. Mind you've I never have seen any of season #4 and only the finale of season #5 so perhaps she was redeemed somewhere in between.
They could have given John 'The Biscuit' Cage his own TV show and I would have watched it without a doubt. Peter MacNichols is a very underrated actor in Hollywood.
I'm not sure if I loved or hated the finale. At one point I was in tears because they brought back Ally's ghost of her former dead first love. It was something straight out of 'Ghosts'. But basically the last finale was like Ally deciding that her daughter was stressed and she had to move RIGHT NOW to New York in order to save her. How Ally got a 10 year old daughter I don't have a clue but she had one. I'm not sure where in New York they were moving but it was some very remote, exotic location only accessible by airplanes that leave late at night from Boston. I mean she's moving and she's a lawyer - drive your car there or just take a damn train. I mean I assume her furniture and belongings would get there. And strangely enough a year after 9/11 it seems that you could board a plane at Boston Logan in less than 30 minutes since it was at night that she was leaving for the 10pm flight. And since it was warm enough for everyone to wear spring & summer dresses on that episode and when she said her final goodbyes after dark, my assumption is it was about 8:30-9pm when she said her goodbyes, walked back to her house where her 10 year old child lived, gather her up get to the airport AND thru security to catch the flight to the remote, exotic location in New York only accessible by airplanes that leave late at night from Boston.
My guess is I should quit while I"m ahead with watching any more episodes.

1. I quit watching about the 2nd or 3rd season
I used to like it but I got tired of it relatively quickly and the "novelty" aspects of the show had already become irritating and annoying for me by the time I stopped actively watching it. That's quite often the problem with shows with unique concepts -they get can become boring rather quickly if not nutured properly
So keep in mind I'm only talking about the first one or two seasons here. I don't know about the later seasons
I actually liked Jane Krakowski and her role in it, albeit I thought she was slightly underused and she could be over the top at times.
I agree about Peter MacNichols -a very good but underrated actor
I didn't like the addition of Portia De Rossi and Lucy Liu to the show. Liu's character in particular seemed to be too much of the typical stereotype of the American-Asian woman which I found irritating. I think when they were added to the show, that in particular was when it started to go downhill for me
I largely agree with you about the annoying lounge singer. Her songs were meant to convey some special meaning relative to each episode but I don't know, in retrospect it probably just fell flat. But having one hang-out for the characters in a show is not uncommon -they do the same in several sitcoms and dramas -Murphy Brown and Happy Days come to mind -probably simply because of budget constraints
As for the finale, I can't comment on it. I'd lost interest by then and the rare snippets of the show I'd see in later seasons irritated the heck out of me, IIRC, so it's unlikely I'd be inclined to watch it. But, from what you've said about it here, it seems to me to be in keeping with the light on substance/realiy style and tone of the show so I'm not that surprised
I loved what I can remember of the eps from the first season -in fact I think I've still got some of them somewhere. But, as I said above, it got old fast for me

2. I understand the idea of a common hang out - typical of any TV Show
Last edited Wed Nov 14, 2012, 03:30 AM - Edit history (1)
But what I found annoying was this place was the ONLY hangout on the show. I mean when the lawyers went out on a date they ended up at the same exact bar with their date and there was everyone else from the workplace. I mean any show with a common hang out like 'Friends' with the Coffee Shop or 'Cheers' with the Bar or anything else - at least when they had a date they went elsewhere.
And I know this much - if I'm on a first date, I really don't want to be on that date while every one of my co-workers is hanging out.
And speaking of having your co-workers know everything. If I worked at an office where the bathroom was unisex and a common hangout for employees PLUS we had an extremely nosy legal secretary that was the town gossip, rest assure if I thought I was pregnant I'd do the pregnancy test at home where it's PRIVATE. Sure it made for a funny episode 'Is Georgia Pregnant' but really what woman who may or may not be pregnant let's all her coworkers in on the gossip that early in a pregnancy.

3. I only saw occasional episodes and I don't know what seasons they were, but...
... for the most part I enjoyed the shows... and they were in the forefront (it seems to me now) of
the fantasy musical dance numbers that other shows of the time adopted ("Scrubs" did them VERY
I really liked the senior partner who preferred older women and had the "wattle" fetish.

Turnbull's creditors sip at an empty glass
Page Tools
Creditors owed money by the recently bankrupted Ross Turnbull may have to console themselves by quaffing the former NRMA president's wine collection.
A statement of affairs compiled by Mr Turnbull's trustee in bankruptcy, Christopher Palmer, shows Mr Turnbull's only assets are 17 cases of wine.
But obtaining them might prove a problem, since the storage company has a lien over the wines because Mr Turnbull has failed to pay the storage fees.
"At the time of drafting this report," Mr Palmer wrote this week in his notice to creditors, "the only assets of the bankrupt that I have been made aware of are 17 cases of wine, currently held in storage at Wine-Ark."
Mr Palmer says Mr Turnbull owes money to creditors including his children, former friends, a cafe and the Union Club, where he was a long-time resident during his term as president of the NRMA.
On the list of creditors is Permanent Trustee Australia, which is owed $295,894 over a guarantee Mr Turnbull gave on a mortgage on a property near Menai.
Chris Sovechles, a former friend and retired insurance broker from Newcastle, is owed $118,702. Pongrass Communications Group is owed $150,176 over a NRMA brochure and his children Nicholas and Sally Turnbull are owed $128,988 over an inheritance left to them by their grandmother.
The Union Club in Bent Street is owed $17,272 for unpaid fees, while MoS, a cafe around the corner, is owed $3596. Also owed money are the Bondi Beachside Inn, which is owed $1301, and Wine-Ark, which is owed $301.
The total amount is $716,231.
Not included in Mr Palmer's list is the Australian Taxation Office, which is owed $49,591. Mr Turnbull also has a string of other debts including $409,000 to the broadcaster Alan Jones and $250,000 to the property developers Peter Londish and Alan Linz.
A further $130,400 is owed to the businessman Robert Klein and $9500 to Royale Limousines of Pyrmont.
The Herald also understands that Mr Turnbull's former employer, the NRMA, is owed money from a $16,500 advance he had received when travelling to Paris last October on NRMA business while a private trip to Paris in February resulted in a debt of $2500 owed to a Paris hotel.
"To date, the bankrupt has attended several meetings at my office to discuss his affairs, however, he has not yet provided me with a statement of affairs. The bankrupt has advised that he intend to submit that document shortly," Mr Palmer wrote.
Within five months of Mr Turnbull's appointment as the NRMA he had run up a $90,000 bill on his NRMA corporate credit card, of which he had to repay $50,000. Troubles over his card use continued and last July he was stood down from the presidency for a month and the card was taken.
The board finally had enough of Mr Turnbull, sacking him from the presidency in January. In April he was forced to resign as a director after being declared bankrupt.
Asked recently about his bankruptcy, he said he was not in the least embarrassed. "Do you know, what matters to me is what I think of me," he said.
As for his children Nicholas and Sally, "I forgive them," he said, before adding, "they've been poorly advised."

A Tax on Some Medical Services
"Mr. BOYD. Okay. So it is fair to say that we cannot say that all medical services would be tax-exempt. There may be some services or some procedures or processes that are taxed. You brought up the example of doing blood work. The person that takes the blood, that fee, whatever it is, if you go to your physician to get that done, would not be taxed, but the analysis and coming back with a report would be taxed.
Mr. ROHRER. Yes."

When they stopped at Bagley, vizard suspected where they were going.
She is some vizard Miss that ought to be sitting in the slips, I'll be sworn.
Finding Zoe was to be trusted as a county chronicle, vizard turned sharply to her, and said, "And was he flirting with her?"
Mr. vizard sent it, with his humble service to your ladyship.
vizard was in his box there—Severne in front, till Ina's principal song.
The city has its vizard on and we—at night we are our naked selves.
"The old house will seem very dark again whenever you do go," said vizard, plaintively.
"As you please," said vizard, with similar indifference; only real.
She vanished swiftly, and vizard looked to Fanny for a solution.
While thus employed, there was a sharp tap at his door and vizard's voice outside.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
1. Chris Bohjalian's novel Water Witches explores the phenomenon of "dowsing" which is described as the practice of "divining underground water with a stick" (page 3). Within the dowsing community there are those who believe anyone can dowse and those, like Patience Avery, who insist "that only select people have the power" (page 7). With whom do you agree? Would you liken it to a spiritual art or a form of witchcraft?
2. The narrator, Scottie Winston, a slick, powerful lawyer who lobbies on behalf of Powder Peak Ski Resort, also considers himself an environmentalist. However, compared to Senator Reedy McClure, Patience's groom-to-be, he states: "I am reasonable and Reddy McClure is a fanatic" (page 22). What are your first impressions of Scottie Winston? Does your opinion of him change as the novel draws to a close?
3. Comparing his wife, Laura, with her sister, Patience, Scottie explains that Laura has been the "normal" and "traditional" one while Patience "has been the center of attention" (page 106). Discuss the relationship between Laura and Patience. In what ways is jealousy a factor?
4. Patience Avery is described as an eccentric, opinionated, yet talented, woman. When Scottie is first introduced to Patience she tells him that men "have great potential to become grotesque" (page 5). What do you suppose she means by that statement? Why do you think she is so antagonistic toward men?
5. Scottie admits that when he and his wife decided to live in Vermont, "I chose simply to work for the law firm that made me the most lucrative offer. It was not, to my mind, a political decision" (page 70). How does Scottie's job, representing Powder Peak, eventually become political? Do you think he feels guilty for representing the ski resort?
6. Discuss the narrator's internal conflict regarding the environmental harm that will come as a result of Powder Peak's expansion. In what ways does Scottie justify the expansion to himself and others? Would you side with Powder Peak or the Copper Project?
7. After he and his daughter, Miranda, see the catamounts on Mount Republic Scottie can no longer advocate the resort's expansion plans. Furthermore, he can no longer act as a seemingly neutral player. What forces him to take sides? Speculate on what Scottie might have done had he seen the catamounts alone. Considering the financial repercussions, what might you have done?
8. Miranda, like her mother and her aunt Patience, has also inherited the Avery dowsing gene. Patience, who acts as Miranda's dowsing mentor fears that Scottie and Laura may stifle Miranda's talent. She tells Laura that "Your daughter's gift makes mine look like a dime store ruby" (page 58). What would you do as Miranda's parents? Would you allow Miranda to explore and develop her talent?
9. Regarding the fact that there are more male dowsers than female ones, Patience maintains that it yet another example of how men have "usurped control of yet one more God-given female talent" (page 49). Do you agree with Patience? Are certain professions naturally more suited to women? To men?
10. Vermont's drought has a profound affect on Miranda who is extremely sensitive and empathetic to the natural surroundings. Referring to her Aunt Patience and the legendary dowser, Elias Gray, she laments: "I wish they could find water in the sky as easily as they find it underground" (page 103). Does her wish come true? Discuss the scene that takes place at the Chittenden River after Patience and Reedy's wedding ceremony.
11. Part Three, the novel's finale, is written in Miranda's voice. Why do you suppose the author chooses to end with Miranda's postscript? What does the reader learn from Miranda that would have been impossible to learn from the narrator? Was it a satisfying ending for you? Why or why not?

text: By Jon Machota / Special Contributor jmachota@************** 12:19 pm on February 15, 2013 | Permalink Cowboys defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson, who doesn't have any coaching connections to Kiffin, has been watching film of his boss' old defenses. Barber is a player he has likely studied at great length. But Henderson's not expecting Carr and Claiborne to be another player. "You can look back in the past and see how they played things and their effort and how they ran to the ball," Henderson said Thursday. "You want your guys to see that. And to show them, 'Gosh, if you trust the system and you do the things they ask you to do in the system, it works.' It has a history of working. You use the past. "Not to say you want (them) to be Ronde Barber. I don't want either of our corners to be Ronde Barber, but I do want them to say, 'Gosh, this guy has created a great career for himself playing this way and that is what we want to do. We want you to use your unique skill set but we want you to play this way because it has a history of being successful.'" Henderson said he has also been watching tape of how the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks have run the same scheme. Henderson is hoping the Cowboys can duplicate the success those teams had intercepting passes last season. The Cowboys tied for last in the league with seven interceptions in 2012. Chicago, Seattle and Tampa Bay each had 18 or more. Read more: http://cowboysblog.**************/2...ont-want-our-corners-to-be-ronde-barber.html/

On the mound to redemption
DES MOINES, IOWA – In 2009, former Brewers pitcher Seth McClung was coming off a season in which he helped Milwaukee advance to its first post-season appearance in 26 years.
In 2010, he was out of baseball, coaching girls high school basketball in Florida.
"Taking that year off was probably the best and the stupidest thing I've ever done," says McClung, in Des Moines to play the Iowa Cubs as a member of the Brewers' AAA minor-league affiliate, the Nashville Sounds.
"Spending time with my newborn baby was special, and you can't get that back. But you can't get it back in baseball, either."
During his time away from the game, McClung tried his hand at a few projects, from giving pitching lessons to blogging with OnMilwaukee.com. He attempted to get back in baseball in 2011 with the AAA affiliate of the Texas Rangers, but a knee injury that finally required surgery cut short his comeback.
"I got to the point where I couldn't even cover first base after throwing a pitch," says McClung, talking candidly for the first time about how his career almost ended. "I think they just thought I didn't want to run. It got worse, and I got released halfway through the year."
With a surgically repaired knee and eager for one more shot, this winter McClung e-mailed Brewers General Manager Doug Melvin, asking for a minor league contract with the team with which he most identified.
He'll tell it to anyone who asks: McClung loved playing for the Brewers. More than any other team he played with in a major league career that spanned parts of six seasons. He bonded with the fans and teammates and sensed that the feeling was mutual. He still speaks of the magic in that Milwaukee clubhouse in '08.
Over lunch, McClung reflects. "I told Doug, 'To tell you the truth, I don't want to go anywhere else.' The organization knows who I am and what I can do, and it feels like home. It means something to me. They were just patient with me, and (this spring) I was fighting through some shoulder stuff. Had I been in any other organization, I think they would've released me before I threw a pitch in a game."
But they didn't, and they installed McClung as the Sounds' fifth starter. It wasn't the first time McClung pitched for Nashville; he did a stint with the team on his way up to the Brewers in 2007.
"A lot of times, a player wants to be where he's had the most success," says first-year Sounds manager Mike Guerrero, who has been with the Brewers organization for 27 years.
"You always, as an organization, want somebody that wants to be with you but also has the ability, and he does have ability. There is a lot left in the tank ... we appreciate that."
Now, at 31, McClung is mostly healthy again, having shaken off a lot of rust. He knows this is his last chance to pitch his way back into the bigs.
For a veteran player, the long bus rides, the cramped clubhouses and the relatively modest salary – McClung earned $1.7 million in 2009; this year, he can make $75,000 if he pitches the whole season – have proven to be a humbling experience, but he's taking it in stride.
Some players, like prospect Mark Rogers, remember the veteran and how he contributed to the Crew during their playoff run. Other players are quite a bit younger, and while they won't admit it, perhaps view "Big Red" as a real-life Kenny Powers.
"I'm not throwing 103 miles an hour anymore," says McClung. "It's due to a few things: wear and tear, and being a swing guy. It's like the offensive lineman of baseball. It's a very valuable position but not glamorous. You never know if you're going to start or pitch three days in a row."
So McClung just keeps his head down and works hard. He doesn't ask questions. He just pitches.
"You can tell he's been around the game a while, just in terms of how he carries himself," says Sounds radio announcer Jeff Hem.
A kid's game in an adult business
It's a cold and windy Saturday afternoon in Des Moines. This team is struggling, having lost 10 games in a row. Until his last start, McClung hadn't done much to change that trend.
After a strong spring training, he's toiled on the mound, but McClung's numbers don't tell the entire story.
He took a no-hitter several innings before giving up four runs in his first start. In his second start, he pitched four innings (two of them strong) but gave up another four runs and was sent to the bullpen. His third outing consisted of 2.1 innings pitched, and he was tagged for five runs.
"He's had a couple of rough outings and couple of solid outings," says Hem.
Unfortunately, the rough outings caused his ERA to balloon over 11, but a series of injuries and call-ups brought him back to the rotation. In a game on April 22, where he was expected to soak up innings no matter what, he threw 96 pitches over 6.1 innings and gave up just two runs. With his back against the wall, "Big Red" earned himself another start.
Says Hem, "The team really needed that from him. The bullpen was really short-handed with no off-day for a few more days, and Wily Peralta had gotten called up. The rotation was in flux. The fact that he pitched well gave the team a great chance to win that day, but he helped rest the bullpen pretty significantly."
Being bounced around from role to role is nothing new for McClung. When in Milwaukee, he found himself starting, then pitching in the bullpen for long relief, and back in the rotation again. While McClung makes no excuses, it's clear that the mental preparation and the physical wear-and-tear of constantly adjusting your routine sets a player up for failure.

A bill passed by the California Assembly would prohibit landlords from requiring a renter to declaw or devocalize a cat or dog before moving into an apartment.
Under the measure passed Thursday, AB 2743 would make it illegal to require those procedures as a condition of lease.
Democratic Assemblyman Pedro Nava, who sponsored the bill, said it is unconscionable that landlords throughout California have been requiring prospective tenants to declaw or devocalize their pets.
Nava said that those permanent surgeries are complex and expensive, and have physical and emotional consequences.
The measure would impose a fine of $2500 for each instance of declawing or devocalization as a result of a landlord-tenant agreement.
The bill now moves to the Senate.

Agency Response Letter GRAS Notice No. GRN 000376
Return to inventory listing: GRAS Notice Inventory
See also Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) and about the GRAS Notice Inventory
CFSAN/Office of Food Additive Safety
October 11, 2011
Brian P. Waldman
Arent Fox LLP
1050 Connecticut Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20036-5339
Re: GRAS Notice No. GRN 000376
Dear Mr. Waldman:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responding to the notice, dated March 10, 2011, that you submitted on behalf of Armor Proteines in accordance with the agency's proposed regulation, proposed 21 CFR 170.36 (62 FR 18938; April 17, 1997; Substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS); the GRAS proposal). FDA received the notice on March 23, 2011, filed it on March 24, 2011, and designated it as GRAS Notice No. GRN 000376.
The subject of the notice is milk mineral concentrate (MMC). The notice informs FDA of the view of Armor Proteines that MMC is GRAS, through scientific procedures, for use as a salt (sodium chloride) substitute in foods, excluding meat and poultry.
Our use of "milk mineral concentrate" in this letter should not be considered an endorsement or recommendation of that term as an appropriate common or usual name for the purpose of declaring the substance in the ingredient statement of foods that contain that ingredient. Title 21 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 101.4 states that all ingredients must be declared by their common or usual name. In addition, 21 CFR 102.5 outlines general principles to use when establishing common or usual names for nonstandardized foods. Issues associated with labeling and the appropriate common or usual name of a food are the responsibility of the Office of Nutrition, Labeling and Dietary Supplements (ONLDS) in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
Armor Proteines provides information about the chemical identity and specifications for MMC. Armor Proteines states that MMC is a white, water soluble powder, and is composed of sodium (8-20 percent), potassium (28-30 percent), chlorides (40-45 percent), calcium (2.5-3.0 percent), lactose (5-9 percent), protein (1 percent), free moisture (2-5 percent), and fat (< 0.5 percent). Armor Proteines notes that the components found in MMC are naturally found in milk and milk products. Armor Proteines also provides food grade specifications for MMC including heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic) as well as microbiological limits.
Armor Proteines describes the manufacturing process of MMC. Skim milk is first acidified with hydrochloric acid, and the acid whey product is separated from the coagulum by decantation. The acid whey product goes through an ultrafiltration process. The ultrafiltration permeate then undergoes reverse osmosis, followed by pH-adjustment with potassium hydroxide, and centrifugation of the osmosis water. The product is concentrated and dried to produce the finished product.
Armor Proteines states that the intended use of MMC is as a salt substitute for use in foods, excluding meat and poultry, and will partially or completely replace the added salt content of foods. Armor Proteines calculated an estimated daily intake (EDI) of MMC of 2,106 milligrams per person per day (mg/p/d) at the mean, and 3,525 mg/p/d at the 90th percentile. This calculation conservatively assumes that MMC will replace 30 percent of added salt in the total food supply. Armor Proteines uses the results of 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to calculate the EDI of MMC in the intended uses.
Armor Proteines discusses the safety the intended uses of MMC in foods, focusing on the estimated contribution of MMC to dietary intake of calcium, potassium, sodium, and chloride ions. Regarding sodium and chloride, Armor Proteines notes that the replacement of salt with MMC would lead to a decrease in the consumption of sodium and chloride ions. Armor Proteines estimates there would be a very slight increase (5 percent) in total calcium intake with the use of MMC (assuming 30 percent replacement of added salt). Armor Proteines states that these estimated levels of exposure to dietary calcium from the use of MMC would be well below the tolerable upper limit for calcium of 2,500 mg/p/d for adults established by the Institute for Medicine (IOM).
Armor Proteines estimates that the mean potassium intake resulting from the use of MMC in food would be below the current adequate intake (AI) of 4,700 mg/p/d set by the IOM. [1] Armor Proteines also states that potassium intake at the 90th percentile would be only slightly more than the IOM's AI, and still within safe levels. Armor Proteines discusses concerns about the potential for development of hyperkalemia among individuals with chronic renal failure or on potassium-sparing diuretic medications. Armor Proteines notes that the occurrence of severe kidney disease in the general population is uncommon (about 0.1 percent of the population), and susceptible individuals are typically under medical supervision. Armor Proteines concludes that the increased intake of potassium due to the replacement of salt with MMC would not be expected to have any adverse health effect.
Allergen Labeling
The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA) amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to require that the label of a food that is or contains an ingredient that bears or contains a "major food allergen" declare the presence of the allergen (section 403(w)). FALCPA defines a "major food allergen" as one of eight foods or food groups (i.e., milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans) or a food ingredient that contains protein derived from one of those foods. Issues associated with labeling food are the responsibility of ONLDS.
Standards of Identity
In the notice, Armor Proteines states its intention to use MMC in several food categories, including foods for which standards of identity exist, located in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. We note that an ingredient that is lawfully added to food products may be used in a standardized food only if it is permitted by the applicable standard of identity.
Potential Labeling Issues
In describing the biological effects of increased potassium consumption resulting from the use of MMC, Armor Proteines raises a potential issue under the labeling provisions of the FD&C Act. Under section 403(a) of the FD&C Act, a food is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular. Section 403(r) of the FD&C Act lays out the statutory framework for the use of labeling claims that characterize the level of a nutrient in a food or that characterize the relationship of a nutrient to a disease or health-related condition. If products that contain MMC bear any claims on the label or in labeling, such claims are the purview of ONLDS. The Office of Food Additive Safety neither consulted with ONLDS on this labeling issue nor evaluated the information in your notice to determine whether it would support any claims made about MMC on the label or in labeling.
Section 301(ll) of the FD&C Act
The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, which was signed into law on September 27, 2007, amends the FD&C Act to, among other things, add section 301(ll). Section 301(ll) of the FD&C Act prohibits the introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of any food that contains a drug approved under section 505 of the FD&C Act, a biological product licensed under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act, or a drug or a biological product for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and their existence made public, unless one of the exemptions in section 301(ll)(1)-(4) applies. In its review of Armor Proteines' notice that MMC is GRAS for use in foods, excluding meat and poultry, FDA did not consider whether section 301(ll) or any of its exemptions apply to foods containing MMC. Accordingly, this response should not be construed to be a statement that foods that contain MMC, if introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce, would not violate section 301(ll).
Based on the information provided by Armor Proteines, as well as other information available to FDA, the agency has no questions at this time regarding Armor Proteines' conclusion that MMC is GRAS under the intended conditions of use. The agency has not, however, made its own determination regarding the GRAS status of the subject use of MMC. As always, it is the continuing responsibility of Armor Proteines to ensure that food ingredients that the firm markets are safe, and are otherwise in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
In accordance with proposed 21 CFR 170.36(f), a copy of the text of this letter responding to GRN 000376, as well as a copy of the information in this notice that conforms to the information in the GRAS exemption claim (proposed 21 CFR 170.36(c)(1)), is available for public review and copying at http://www.fda.gov/grasnoticeinventory.

This summer was for me was ok honestly. I worked majority of it which was terrible. I think working for money was my benefit.
The most I did this summer was move out to Lancaster, see my baby grow over the summer and go to Cedar Point which was the best. It was actually the highlight of my summer.
We actually got to ride all the rides. It wasn't a dissapointing moment. The scariest ride is this ride called the Windseeker. We were so high in the air over Sandusky beach it was fun and just the thrill made it that much better.
