EU should revise position on Cuba: Netherlands FM
The European Union should seek to strengthen ties with Cuba, Netherlands Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans said Tuesday during a two-day visit to the Communist-run Caribbean nation.
"Throughout the centuries, Cuba has been a meeting point for Europeans and Americans and I believe that Cuba still has a role to play between Europe and the Americas," Timmermans said during a meeting with Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodriguez.
"I believe that dialogue between the European Union, the Netherlands and Cuba is extremely important for the development of the region," he added.
After meeting with the Vice-President of Cuba's Council of Ministers, Ricardo Cabrisas, Timmermans added that the EU should update its position on Cuba.
"I think it's time for Europe to revise its position on Cuba and negotiate a new position," he said.
The EU suspended links with Cuba in 2003 after a crackdown which saw 75 dissidents thrown into jail. All of those jailed have since been released.
Since dialogue between the EU and Cuba resumed in 2008, several bilateral agreements have been reached between Havana and around 15 members of the EU, which maintains a stance adopted in 1996 linking relations to improvements in human rights in the country.
The Netherlands had a "special interest in strengthening bilateral relations" with Cuba following reforms launched three years ago by Cuban President Raul Castro, Timmermans added.
The Netherlands is the second biggest European business partner of Cuba, behind Spain, with deals worth $792 million in 2012, according to Cuban figures.

This Timmerman Minister is as wrong as he could be. Cuba, one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean, thanks to its absurd communism is at the same time one of the highest Violators of Human Rights in the world. Until the Castro brothers are not dead and undertaken, it should not even be considered to give Cuba a different treatment than the given for the last 60 years of Abusive "Revolutiom". Cuba is currently invading the sovereignity of Venezuela. The Venezuelan Dictator Chavez gave Cuba tremendous amounts of currency and dirty business deals to be exploited by the Castro brothers. Did you know that Venezuela gives oil for free to Cuba in order for it to be sold by the Caribbean Country allowing them to enter the Petroleum Business? All this is a strategy to bring Cuba on the spot light to build ties with countries like The Netherlands where money is more important than the truth behind the curtain..

Is Timmerman an advocate for human rights or for better business relations to improve the Netherland's #2 ranking? A look at his past record may reveal the reality of his decision.
Michael Kadin posted:
Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans, is again mistaken, to renew ties with a poor human rights record Cuba and previous with Abu Dhabi and its poor human rights record and wanting them to allow a Jew to practice soccer. This and most of the Middle East will not allow any person with an Israeli passport to enter Maybe its time the present Timmermans,consider resigning.

Mazal Haï Mazal: Eight North African Tracks to Light Your Soul On Fire

Hi, Chris—
Long-time reader, first-time commenter, so let me say, first: thanks for doing what you do!
Second, a quick question. I know it's not actually on this collection of songs—which, by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed—but since it provides the title, I reckoned it was still germane. So: could I trouble you for the lyrics to "Mazal Haï Mazal"? Latin or Arabic alphabet is fine. It's rapidly become one of my favorite songs, but my ear is sufficiently rusty—getting close to a decade away from N Africa!—that I'm having trouble deciphering what's going on.
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can give! And, of course, for yeoman's work on the blog.

Dhaka, Get Ready For Uber!
Uber, through a press release on their website, announced that the ride hailing service is officially hitting Dhaka streets! The service is available in over 450 cities and Dhaka just got added to the list.
To get started:
- Download the free app from the Apple Store or Google Play
- Sign up using your phone number and email
- Request a ride and a driver will pick you up within minutes
- Simply pay in cash at the end of the ride
Use the promo code 'UberBDLaunch' to enjoy a free ride up to Tk 250! (New users only, valid until Dec 31st, 2016). The press release says that for the time being the high demand will lead to shortages in available rides but that should ease with time and more drivers joining the program.
Uber has also partnered with local telecom giant Grameenphone but it is not absolutely clear at the time of writing this article how the two entities will work together. We speculate Grameenphone will allow free access to Uber by not charging for internet for the app but that is pure guesswork.
The arrival of Uber marks a significant milestone for Bangladesh. The service should make commuting more accessible and affordable for the masses and should also provide a source of income for those who opt to register as Uber drivers.
Stay tuned to our website as more information is released and the story develops.

Kochi, India 8 Dec 2016: Yoga reduces blood pressure in patients with prehypertension, according to a study presented at the 68th Annual Conference of the Cardiological Society of India (CSI).
The congress is being held in Kochi, India, from 8 to 11 December. Experts from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) will present a special programme.1
"Patients with prehypertension (slightly elevated blood pressure) are likely to develop hypertension (high blood pressure) unless they improve their lifestyle," said lead author Dr Ashutosh Angrish, a cardiologist at Sir Gangaram Hospital in Delhi, India. "Both prehypertension and high blood pressure increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure."
Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg, while prehypertension is a systolic BP 120–139 mmHg or a diastolic BP 80–89 mmHg.
This study investigated the impact of hatha yoga on blood pressure in 60 patients with prehypertension who were otherwise healthy. The details of yoga practice have been published previously.2 Briefly, patients were randomised to two groups of 30 each to assess the effect of three months of yoga plus conventional lifestyle changes versus conventional lifestyle changes alone (control group) on 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure.
Yoga included stretching exercises (asanas), breath control (pranayam) and meditation. It was taught by a yoga instructor for one month and then patients subsequently followed it at home. Yoga practice was for one hour every day. Conventional lifestyle changes consisted of moderate aerobic exercise, diet, and smoking cessation.
The average age of participants was 56 years in the yoga group and 52 years in the control group. In the yoga group there were 16 women and 14 men, while in the control group there were 17 women and 13 men. The 24 hour mean BP at baseline was 130/80 mmHg in the yoga group and 127/80 mmHg in the control group.
The investigators found that in the yoga group, both 24 hour diastolic BP and night diastolic BP significantly decreased by approximately 4.5 mmHg and 24 hour mean arterial pressure significantly decreased by around 4.9 mmHg.3 The control group did not show any significant change in blood pressure.
Dr Angrish said: "Although the reduction in blood pressure was modest, it could be clinically very meaningful because even a 2 mmHg decrease in diastolic BP has the potential to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease by 6% and the risk of stroke and transient ischaemic attack by 15%."4
Regarding the way yoga may reduce blood pressure, Dr Angrish said: "The exact mechanism is not clear from our study but it has been postulated that yoga may decrease the sympathetic drive, reset the baroreceptors and cause neurohumoral effects. The findings suggest that a combination of all three components of yoga (asanas, pranayam and meditation) is helpful but our study is unable to pinpoint their individual contribution."
He concluded: "Our research suggests that patients with prehypertension should be advised to practice hatha yoga (a combination of asanas, pranayam and meditation) for one hour daily. It may prevent the development of hypertension and in addition give a sense of well-being."
Dr Shirish Hiremath, CSI President Elect and Chairman of the CSI 2016 Scientific Committee, said: "Yoga is a part of traditional Indian culture, and has shown clear benefit in cases of prehypertension. Easy to practice and can be adapted by masses and is also very economical, yoga can go a long way in improving the overall health of the country, as hypertension is affecting a large number of young Indians. Yoga can turn out to be just the correct answer for people at risk."
Professor Roberto Ferrari, a Past President of the ESC and course director of the ESC programme in India, said: "Cardiovascular disease can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol. Exercise, including yoga, a good quality diet, and not smoking are all steps in the right direction."

Roger Ailes is the former CEO of Fox News who left the corporation in disgrace after allegedly sexually harassing employees. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, a known misogynist, saw the departure of Ailes as an opportunity to bring the sexual harasser over to his camp. Birds of a feather flock together.
The role of Ailes has been defined as Ailes' advising Trump in preparation for the upcoming presidential debates with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. However, Ailes is likely whispering in Trump's ear about a variety of others matters as well.
Trump's campaign has denied the nefarious pairing between the propagandist and the failed faux-billionaire businessman. Hope Hicks, a spokesperson for Trump, denied Ailes had taken on any form of an advisory position. She said, "Mr. Ailes and Mr. Trump have been friends for many years. They speak occasionally, which isn't news." A lawyer for Ailes refused to comment on the matter entirely.
While representatives for both men are stonewalling about the subject of their pairing, it makes sense for Ailes to be working with Trump. Before Ailes was an overlord at Fox News he was a political consultant and worked closely with Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign. Ailes also coached Ronald Reagan in 1984, and then Vice President George H.W. Bush when he debated Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis.
What Ailes did for Nixon, in attempting to make him more personable to voters, is exactly the service he would be offering to Donald Trump. After repeated public disasters Trump is in need of all of the help with which he can muster, and Ailes joining the team is a strong sign Trump will be pulling out all of the stops to win the presidency in November.

Just like humans, rattlesnakes enjoy the warm weather.
As we're spending more time outdoors in coming weeks, be aware, experts say.
Rattlesnakes don't have it out for people, "they are generally very shy creatures," said Brad Hollingsworth, curator of herpetology, San Diego Natural History Museum. "When they encounter people they become defensive and rattling is one of the ways they show that behavior."
In light of two recent Inland Empire encounters that led to bites, experts warn of precautions as the weather heats up and people are spending more time outdoors in territory inhabited by venomous snakes.
This is the time of year snakes are on the move — it's mating season. The mating season spans from March to May, according to William Hayes, a rattlesnake researcher and biologist at Loma Linda University. Males are the most active, slithering across the hills in search of a female. Females are also out seeking food.
What's the best way to handle an encounter?
"Back away," said Robert Fisher, a biologist with United States Geological Survey's Western Ecological Research Center in San Diego.
But the temperament of snakes does vary, Hollingsworth said. When people approach, try to pick up, or in some other way approach a snake, "they become fearful that they will be killed."
Experts, including Hollingsworth, Hayes and Fisher, say there are many myths that shroud the snakes.
• MYTH: The worst snakebites are those from baby snakes.
That thinking began in California in the 1970s and spread in the 1990s, according to Hayes, who also…

1. Martin Van Buren was the first president who wasn't one : WASP
The not-so-nice acronym "WASP",stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. The term is used for Americans with a relatively high position in society, and who are usually of British descent.
Martin Van Buren was the eighth President of the US, and also served as Vice President and Secretary of State under President Andrew Jackson. Although Van Buren was the first president who was born a US citizen, he was the only president whose first language wasn't English, as he grew up speaking Dutch.
18. Vitamix competitor : OSTER
The Oster brand of small appliances was introduced in 1924 by John Oster. He started out by making manually-powered hair clippers designed for cutting women's hair, and followed up with a motorized version in 1928. The clippers kept the company in business until 1946 when Oster diversified, buying a manufacturer of liquefying blenders in 1946. The blender was renamed an Osterizer, and was a big hit. Oster was bought up by Sunbeam, which has owned the brand since 1960.
20. Hoity-toity : SNOOTY
Believe it or not, the term "hoity-toity" has been in the English language since the 1660s, but back then it meant "riotous behavior". It began to mean "haughty" in the late 1800s, simply because the "haughty" sounds similar to "hoity".
21. Shelley's "To the Moon," e.g. : ODE
Percy Bysshe Shelley was an English Romantic poet. Shelley had strong views on vegetarianism.

22. It's between the Study and Lounge on a Clue board : HALL
Clue is board game that we knew under a different name growing up in Ireland. Outside of North America, Clue is marketed as "Cluedo". Cluedo was the original name of the game, introduced in 1949 by the famous British board game manufacturer Waddingtons. There are cute differences between the US and UK versions. For example, the man who is murdered is called Dr. Black (Mr. Boddy in the US), one of the suspects is the Reverend Green (Mr. Green in the US), and the suspect weapons include a dagger (a knife in the US), a lead pipe (lead piping in the US) and a spanner (a wrench in the US). I think it's a fabulous game, a must during the holidays …

26. World capital whose seal depicts St. Hallvard : OSLO
Hallvard's Cathedral was built in Oslo, Norway in the first half of the 12th century. In the 1600s, much of Oslo was destroyed in a great fire and so King Christian IV decided to move the city and have it rebuilt a few miles to west. A new cathedral was built, and the old Hallvard's Cathedral, which was still standing after the fire, fell into disrepair and became a ruin.
28. It might give you a shock : EEL
Electrophorus electricus is the biological name for the electric eel. Despite its name, the electric "eel" isn't an eel at all, but rather what is called a knifefish, a fish with an elongated body that is related to the catfish. The electric eel has three pairs of organs along its abdomen, each capable of generating an electric discharge. The shock can go as high as 500 volts with 1 ampere of current (that's 500 watts), and that could perhaps kill a human.
29. Missile Command maker : ATARI
"Missile Command" is a fun arcade game that was introduced by Atari in 1980. Playing the game involves protecting six cities that are being attacked by ballistic missiles. The original game's design featured six cities in California, namely Eureka, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego.
30. Scintilla : WHIT
A "scintilla" is a small amount. The term can also be used to describe a spark or a flash (as in "to scintillate"). The term came into English from Latin, in which language it means "spark, particle of fire, atom".

51. Téa of "Madam Secretary" : LEONI
Téa Leoni is an American actress. One of Leoni's early parts was in the great film "A League of Their Own" (a minor role, Racine at first base). She also played the fiancée of Sam Malone from "Cheers" on the spinoff sitcom "Frasier". A leading role on the big screen was opposite Adam Sandler in "Spanglish". My favorite of her more prominent movie roles was as Jane in "Fun with Dick and Jane". Leoni is now playing the title role in the drama series "Madam Secretary", a show that I really enjoy …
"Madam Secretary" is TV show that first aired in 2014. It is about an ex-CIA analyst who is appointed as US Secretary of State. Téa Leoni plays the title role, ably supported by a favorite actress of mine, Bebe Neuwirth. I like this show …
56. First and last word of the Musketeers' motto : ALL
"All for one, and one for all" is a motto associated with the title characters in the Alexandre Dumas novel "Three Musketeers". Actually, it is the motto of the Three Musketeers along with their comrade d'Artagnan …
Alexandre Dumas' "Three Musketeers" are Athos, Porthos and Aramis, although the hero of the novel is their young protégé is D'Artagnan. A musketeer was an infantry soldier who was equipped with a musket. Funnily enough, the three "musketeers" really don't use their muskets, and are better known for prowess with their swords.

99. Figure skating jump : LUTZ
In figure skating, a Lutz is a toe-pick-assisted jump that one starts skating backwards and ends skating backwards (there's more to it that I don't really understand!). The maneuver is named after Alois Lutz, an Austrian skater who first performed it in competition way back in 1913. Lutz wowed the crowd with a single jump, and today both men and women are landing triple Lutz jumps. No one has landed a clean quadruple Lutz in competition.

Although Reeves is a Canadian national, he was born in Beirut, Lebanon. Reeves has some Hawaiian descent, and the name "Keanu" is Hawaiian for "the coldness".
118. Cameo, for one : PART
Even in my day, a cameo role was more than just a short appearance in a movie (or other artistic piece). For the appearance to be a cameo, the actor had to playing himself or herself, and was instantly recognizable. With this meaning it's easy to see the etymology of the term, as a cameo brooch is one with the recognizable carving of the silhouette of a person. Nowadays, a cameo is any minor role played by a celebrity or famous actor, regardless of the character played.
119. Dystopian film of 1971 : A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (mixing RED into YELLOW)
"A Clockwork Orange" is a novella by Anthony Burgess, first published in 1962. The story is about a young teenager named Alex, who leads a small gang on violent rampages each night. The story has been adapted for the big and small screens, most famously in a 1971 film by Stanley Kubrick. It's way too violent for me …
122. Rihanna album featuring "Work" : ANTI

De Niro's young boss is played by Anne Hathaway. The initial plan had been to cast Michael Caine and Tina Fey as leads, but things worked out just fine with the "replacements", I'd say …
10. Image on the back of a dollar bill : PYRAMID
Conspiracy theorists love to point out "suspicious" symbols on the one-dollar bill. The pyramid on the bill is unfinished, with 13 steps. The number 13 has been associated with the occult, but it is also the number of original colonies that declared independence from Britain forming the United States. Not so suspicious after all …
11. Lindsay of "Freaky Friday" : LOHAN
"Freaky Friday" is a well-known children's novel, written by Mary Rodgers and published in 1972. The basic story is that one Friday, a mother and her teenage daughter have their bodies switched due to the effects of an enchanted fortune cookie. Hilarity ensues!

His early performances were credited as "Oliver Norvell Hardy", and off camera his nickname was "Babe Hardy". Hardy appeared in several films that also featured the young British actor Stan Laurel, but it wasn't until 1927 that they teamed up to make perhaps the most famous double act in the history of movies. The Laurel and Hardy act came to an end in 1955. That year, Laurel suffered a stroke, and then later the same year Hardy had a heart attack and stroke from which he never really recovered.
19. B-side of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" : PINK CADILLAC (mixing WHITE into RED)
"Dancing in the Dark" is a 1984 Bruce Springsteen song, and his biggest hit. If you take a look at the music video released at the same time, it features Springsteen performing the song on stage. At the end of the video, the singer brings a fan on stage and dances with her, and that fan is played by actress Courtney Cox.
34. Actress Peet : AMANDA
The actress Amanda Peet studied acting with the celebrated Uta Hagen at Columbia University. Peet has appeared in a number of successful films including "The Whole Nine Yards" and "Syriana".

43. Zen master's query : KOAN
The concept of "koan" appears in the Zen Buddhist tradition. A koan is a story, question or perhaps a statement that is used as an aid to meditation.

59. Costume worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in "Batman Returns" : CATSUIT
Catwoman is a supervillain who is usually depicted as an adversary of Batman in comics. In the sixties television show "Batman", Catwoman was first portrayed by actress Julie Newmar, but then the more memorable Eartha Kitt took over, with the marvelously "feline voice". On the big screen, Catwoman has been played by Lee Meriwether in "Batman" (1966), by Michelle Pfeiffer in "Batman Returns" (1992), by Halle Berry in "Catwoman" (2004) and by Anne Hathaway in "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012).

While Napoleon lived in the Tuileries Palace, he would meet his mistresses in the Élysée Palace. He was ever the soul of discretion ...
67. "Rabbit Is Rich" Pulitzer winner : UPDIKE

- Agra Fort: the site where the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond was seized.
- Fatehpur Sikri: a historic city that's home to well-preserved Mughal architecture.
Raga isn't really a type of music, but has been described as the "tonal framework" in which Indian classical music is composed. Ravi Shankar was perhaps the most famous raga virtuoso (to us Westerners). Western rock music with a heavy Indian influence might be called raga rock.

The classic 1953 western movie called "Shane" was based on the novel of the same name by Jack Schaefer published in 1949. Alan Ladd had a rough end to his life.

Super-excited to see JC from Madrid give the Farmstay an excellent review on TripAdvisor. JC was here to teach Reiki, both to the general public and to health practitioners here in Managua, He had a very successful trip, and brought his daughter along for some great bonding moments.
It is always a thrill to see quality family time as only Nicaragua can provide. Imagine your children learning about real play, not being tethered to the electronic device du jour, but having the opportunity to see how people live quite happily without the material goods that are so prevalent in other parts of the world. Not to say that people here do not have the tablets, smartphones, etc. but certainly a much smaller percentage do have such things.
So, yes, I am happy to get a good review. Why? Well, I got a lousy one a few months ago (my first negative review), and frankly I was a bit upset about it. On TripAdvisor, the property owners can give a response to any review, good or bad, so I did that, but wish I had done a more thorough job of refuting or at least attempting to explain each and every issue that these guests had with their visit to the farmstay.
So, now I have at least two really nice reviews that are the first ones folks see, and the lousy one is down the list a bit. But most guests who actually read the reviews on TripAdvisor understand that there are circumstances we can control, and ones we cannot control. Plus, 24 good reviews for every one that is not so good is a ratio I can live with!
I have also had the privilege to host a few couple that run small inns & hotels, bed & breakfast, hostels, auberges, hospedajes, and other lodging types that, like Farmstay El Porton Verde, offer personalized service, local knowledge, and in general, the sort of experience that a hotel generally cannot replicate, (nor are they particularly interested in such things…)
So thanks again JC and yes, I am definitely looking forward to your visit in February!

The music never stopped around the Reider household.
"There were guitars everywhere, so that's what I know," said singer/songwriter Katie Reider, whose father Rob was a featured vocalist on "The Bob Braun Show" in the late '70s and '80s.
"My mom sings, too, so growing up I didn't understand why other families didn't all play music together," she said. "She's really in heaven when we're all in town for the holidays, when there could be four or five people playing guitar around the fireplace.
"I knew that music would be a part of my life, but I didn't know to what extent."
Since her first release in 1998, Reider has been recognized by the local and national recording industry, winning five Cincinnati area music awards, landing several national airing spots on the ABC television network, and independently selling over 10,000 CDs.
Music is still a family affair for her. Her dad helped produce and her brother Robbie lent additional guitar work on her fourth and latest release, "Simplicity."
"There was never a doubt that I could make a career in music," she said. "I watched my dad do it at a regional level and supported a family.
"Taking it to the next level is now the goal. We've been approached by some industry folk who are shopping us in New York City," she said, and a recent booking at the fabled Bitter End brought landed her a February showcase.
"This is the best opportunity we've had yet," she said, although it's taken her to take a second look at her attitude toward "the business."
"I have been so anti-big business that it's been difficult," Reider said. "But I've come to realize that if you want to do this, you have to be really lucky, really determined and have some money behind you.
"The machine doesn't seem so terrible as long as I'm not sacrificing my integrity," she said.

The Tilt Shift
n. a phenomenon in which your lived experience seems oddly inconsequential once you put it down on paper, which turns an epic tragicomedy into a sequence of figures on a model train set, assembled in their tiny classrooms and workplaces, wandering along their own cautious and well-trodden paths—peaceable, generic and out of focus.
n. a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head—a crisp analysis, a cathartic dialogue, a devastating comeback—which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage where you can connect more deeply with people than in the small ball of everyday life, which is a frustratingly cautious game of change-up pitches, sacrifice bunts, and intentional walks.
Ecstatic Shock
n. the surge of energy upon catching a glance from someone you like—a thrill that starts in your stomach, arcs up through your lungs and flashes into a spontaneous smile—which scrambles your ungrounded circuits and tempts you to chase that feeling with a kite and a key.
n. a relationship or friendship that you can't get out of your head, which you thought had faded long ago but is still somehow alive and unfinished, like an abandoned campsite whose smoldering embers still have the power to start a forest fire.
n. the smallest measurable unit of human connection, typically exchanged between passing strangers—a flirtatious glance, a sympathetic nod, a shared laugh about some odd coincidence—moments that are fleeting and random but still contain powerful emotional nutrients that can alleviate the symptoms of feeling alone.

Medicine Show Communications does not belong to any Nations, yet.
About True entertainment & news variety! The way entertainment & news were meant to be! Articles: 4 Seeds: 776 Comments: 420 Since: Oct 2012
True music variety! The way radio was meant to be!
Dr. Rock loves music and radio so much that he has made a weekly trip from Omaha, NE, to KZUM in Lincoln, NE. This is a 60-mile trip, each way, to volunteer his time to host KZUM's "Dr. Rock & the Medicine Show." It's true music variety, the way radio was meant to be!
Dr. Rock was born September 15, 1961. He grew up in the small, northeast Nebraska town of Pilger.
He was an introverted little boy, so he found it difficult to really connect with people. Therefore, he tended to read a lot, watch a lot of TV (probably more than was healthy), and listen to a lot of radio.
Growing up in the 60s and 70s, he was naturally influenced by what was then considered to be top 40 radio, and is now considered to be classic rock. Not surprisingly, he has a special bond with that kind of music, but certainly doesn't limit his tastes to just classic rock, or even the music of the 60s and 70s.
He was also heavily influenced by a particular TV show that debuted on the CBS television network on September 18, 1978. That show was "WKRP in Cincinnati."
One thing that really grabbed Dr. Rock's attention was the fact that "WKRP in Cincinnati" used the real music being heard on the radio at that time. While that is common practice today, it was very rare back then. TV almost always used cheesy covers of popular music back in the 70s, but "WKRP in Cincinnati" used the real thing. (Sadly, due to increased royalty fees, DVD releases and rebroadcasts no longer use the original music.)
Another thing was that, despite the fact that this was a comedy, the characters had an authenticity and believability about them. Years later, the Dr. learned that the series and characters were actually based upon a real radio station and it's real staff.
Regrettably, the Dr. let booze, drugs, and other poor choices begin to rule his life as time went on. This was most likely a reaction to his difficulty in connecting with people and the resulting loneliness and frustration that can result. This took him down a long, dark path that caused nothing but misery and pain; not only for him, but for his entire family and all of his friends.
As usual, there were consequences for taking this path. Those consequences, rightfully so, were quite severe and harsh.
Unlike all too many people, though, the Dr. chose to take a new path at this point, rather than scheme and plot new ways to travel the same path he was on.
He reached out to Jesus Christ, God and Creator of the Universe. To his surprise, Jesus was standing close by just waiting for him to wake up and reach out. Jesus took his hand, pulled him close, and held him in a loving embrace. Jesus then began to show him a better way.
Of course, the Dr. is still human. Like any child, he isn't perfect. He doesn't make the right choices 100% of the time. But, he has been clean and sober for for more than 20 years. Just being clean and sober, in and of itself, makes it easier to make better decisions.
In the early 90s, the Dr. lived in Lincoln, Nebraska for a few years. It was then that he discovered Community Radio KZUM-FM 89.3. He almost instantly fell in love with this odd little station because it not only broke the mold corporate radio uses, KZUM completely shattered it.
KZUM's program director doesn't program the music on the shows airing on the station. The volunteer programmers do, and that really appealed to Dr. Rock.
At that time, though, the Dr. was still working through some of the aforementioned consequences, and was not able to get involved at that time. It wasn't until early to mid 2003 that he was in a position to be able to help.
By then, however, the Dr. was living 60 miles away in Omaha. With no similar stations in the Omaha area, though, he contacted KZUM and started asking questions and showing an interest in doing a show.
On September 22, 2003, the Dr. got a call from KZUM's program director asking if he was still interested in doing a show on KZUM, and if he could start with a 3-6 am Sunday morning show starting the upcoming weekend.
Dr. Rock's immediate response was "Yes!" He drove down to Lincoln that day, paid for and became a member of Community Radio KZUM (all programmers must be members of public radio KZUM), and signed up to do a weekly show.
For the next two years, Dr. Rock drove to Lincoln every Sunday morning to do his 3-6 am show, and was only absent for one show (after falling, in his own home, and breaking his ankle in three places.
Surgery was required to repair the ankle, and he was released from the hospital on a Saturday morning. Due to the powerful pain meds prescribed, the doctor put him under strict orders not to drive on the interstate after dark. This was a wise choice, because the meds made it impossible for Dr. Rock to stay awake for more than about 15-20 minutes at a time, and it takes about an hour to drive to Lincoln. That would not have been a healthy combination).
After filling the 3-6 am slot on Sunday mornings for about 2 years, the 12-3 am slot ahead of his current time slot opened up, and he was offered the slot. Naturally, he was more than happy to do so.
The following spring, after KZUM had trouble finding reliable volunteers for the old slot, Dr. Rock offered to extend his show by an hour, leaving KZUM with only two hours to fill. Sadly, KZUM had trouble finding reliable volunteers for that slot, too. One even called in sick on the very first week he was to have started his new show, and Dr. Rock filled in that week. He was allowed to keep the extra two hours.
As of today, Dr. Rock is still doing his weekly show on KZUM from 12-6 am Saturday nights/Sunday mornings, he programs a station on Live365, is dabbling with a couple internet music video channels, and is working on a part-time, paid position with internet radio station Jam City America.
He successfully hosted Jam City America's "Dr. Rock & the Medicine Show" for two weeks before technical issues knocked him off of the "air." Measures are being taken to resolve the issues, and he hopes to get back within a couple weeks.
Maybe, one day, he will even have the opportunity to earn a full-time living doing what he so loves to do; be a real-life DJ.

Disney Beer is so easy, as they sell it all over the place. Just ask any employee where is the closest Alcohol selling spot. Good food area for dining, with that special disney twist. You can do so much In Orlando, but you will never top the dining experience here. It is a classic and you should bring your video camera for sure. Things can happen so fast, you have to keep your hand on the trigger.
Denice F.
Beers are your friend when you are at a Theme Park all day. You know how it is, everyone is all gun-ho for about the first four or five hours doing all the rides and having a terrific time Exploring. Once you get on Star Tours and do the movie star event shows, eventually a cold beer will hit the spot. Disney World is really good about cocktails starting at the hotels for the Poolside Bar. They make those good kind of frozen cocktails to, like a mango Margarita. When you sit down and take a look at the bar menu, you will get thirsty quick. Epcot is really good for those that want to consume a little bit Alcohol during the day, but you can buy beer, wine, and hard liquor at any of the theme parks. You have to search around every now and then, you can always get a beer in the quick service restaurants.

We asked our WGSS graduates how the minor has helped shape them professionally and personally. These are the stories they shared with us.
Ava Feminelli, 2016
"The WGSS center and program as a whole, have been fundamentally important and dear to me ever since I first walked in. I've made friends that have stayed with me past graduation, and learned so much that has opened my eyes to the world outside of my own limited frame of view I had walking in as a freshman. Ever since graduation I've carried the lessons I've learned me everywhere I went. I've gone on to volunteer, advocate, and help so many people due to the growth the program nurtured within and without, and I sing its praises to all who would listen."
Danilo Machado, 2016
"The Women's, Gender, and Sexualities Studies Program at UConn-Stamford has been incredibly formative for me as an academic and activist. The Women's, Gender, and Sexualities Studies Center serves as a unique and vibrant part of the Stamford campus. In the WGSS Center, students are able to socialize, study, and organize in a safe space that is explicitly feminist and student-led. It was a space where I made close friends and had meaningful conversations.WGSS has informed my activism around queer undocumented immigrants, facilitated my poetry around race, migration, and queerness, and, most recently, played a prominent role in my Honors thesis. Feminism has been invaluable in my work and journey as an activist, scholar, and poet. I plan to apply to graduate school in the coming years, where I will continue to take the lessons, skills and relationships I learned through WGSS."
Ashley Mondestin, 2016
"The WGSS Program made a significant positive impact during my time at UConn. The classes gave me a vast amount of knowledge that opened my eyes and challenged my mind; the Center gave me a place that provided comfort, coffee, conversation and friends; and the events were always interesting, thought-provoking and fun! Overall, it was an amazing program and a wonderful experience that I will treasure for a lifetime. I am currently working with several staffing agencies in NYC! I am looking forward to what challenges and opportunities the position may bring and am excited about the journey as a post-graduate."
Vicky Pang, 2015
"I learned so much from taking WGSS classes! I decided to minor in this program because I felt like I lacked this information growing up. Growing up, I had to follow old fashioned gender roles. WGSS classes educate a lot of people like me, and they will go off into the world learning to go against the societal norms. It may sound like something small, but it can really make a big difference in the future, if we all learn about this subject and spread the message. My professors were all very intelligent, caring, and willing to give advice. The things that I learned in these classes answered many of the questions I had while growing up. I'm glad that I had professors who genuinely cared and listened to my problems."
Frank Savage, 2015
"To void ignorance I believe knowledge of the economic, social, and political history of any situation is simply indispensable to truly understanding these matters and tending to them. With WGSS, I found the progressive platform in which to delve into the aforementioned histories to understand our nation's social constructs and how these affect the daily lives of peoples from various genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Personally, WGSS made a lasting impression on me, the type that imprints itself onto your personality and is carried into every situation. It's manifested itself as everything from raised eyebrows in personal conversations, to morally responsible business decisions, and finally entire life changes towards more meaningful endeavors. As I prepare to begin Graduate School in International Affairs, I feel fortunate to be able to bring that WGSS influence with me."
Krystal Gourgue, 2014
"My time spent at the University of Connecticut in Stamford, was a great experience. That greatness was comprised of the friends I made, my job at the gym and the classes and professors who made a long lasting impression on me. And all of my Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies classes were an experience I will remember always. The various WGSS courses provided academic reasoning to why so many people experience societal hardships. It also helped me to know there was a way to combat it. I learned to be more empathetic and that the issues are layered and complex and that things won't change overnight. Today I volunteer at The Center for Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling and Education and use my feminist outlook to fight patriarchal oppressions at home and in the workplace."
Cindy Newman, 2014
"The WGSS Program helped shape my studies while at UConn Stamford. I entered the University as a non-traditional student with an interest in psychology and socioeconomic disparities in education. The WGSS Program allowed me to expand my understanding of the ways in which inequality permeates our society, and many of the principles that I learned in WGSS classes are applicable to my work as Programs Manager of Stamford Public Education Foundation. In addition, through the courses and The Center, I had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and hear some phenomenal speakers!"

- This recipe is meant as a guideline, it is all on preference. How strong you want it -- how much oils you want -- (Don't go over the 1 T mark though or you will have a greasy feeling) Use your own judgment.
- In the spray bottle, add the apricot kernel oil (or any other oils that do not have a strong scent to them).
- Carefully remove the nozzle from your perfume bottle. You may have to spray the perfume into the bottle. If doing it this way, judge by the amount of oil that is already in the bottle.
- Fill the rest of the container with witch hazel.
- To use: shake to contents so that they are distributed evenly and spray.
- Note: I would use this up within 6 - 8 months (if it lasts that long)! Change to a new bottle for a new scent.

For this tutorial I found on Wilton:
Could you use wax paper instead of parchment?? & could I put it on fondant?
3 replies
I think so. Really you can use anything you can see through. The entire layer of piping gel isn't supposed to come off the paper anyways, just enough to leave a mark.
Oh , that makes much more sense Thank you so very much for the help!
Wax paper would work fine.

Hey Guys,
I just received this interesting email from United States Stove Company regarding their new advancement of a window/wall pellet unit. It's kind of a neat idea. I wonder if we could do something like this with anthracite? Something to think about? What do you think anthracite coal stoker stove manufactures?
