Brookhaven recommends planning ahead for hurricane season
Brookhaven, GA, June 1, 2017 –The City of Brookhaven reminds all residents that June 1 is the official start of the 2017 Hurricane Season that runs through the end of November.
For this season, forecasters at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center are predicting an above-average potential for formation of hurricanes in the Atlantic region, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.
"NOAA's climatologists are predicting the possibility of 11 to 17 named storms forming in the Atlantic Ocean with the potential for 5 to 9 of these intensifying to hurricane strength," said Brookhaven Emergency Management Coordinator Paul White. "Now is an excellent time to get prepared for any severe weather event, just in case."
White advises that Brookhaven could feel the following weather effects of hurricanes in this region:
- Very strong winds can extend hundreds of miles inland.
- Prolonged, significant rain events often occur well inland.
- Tornadoes can develop from hurricane or tropical storm landfall.
White encourages Brookhaven residents and businesses to review their emergency plans, using the following as tools:
Prepare a Disaster Plan that includes: response actions like communication procedures, evacuation and sheltering, and structural/utility protection procedures.
Build a "Ready Kit" that should minimally contain: a 72-hour food and water supply, first aid items, extra clothing/blankets, important documents and eating utensils.
Be and stay informed by having a battery-powered or even a NOAA weather alert radio in your kit for warnings and updates, have cell phones or other personal devises set for automatic alerts.
Further information on the 2017 Hurricane Season can be found on U.S. Dept. of Commerce NOAA website and – www.noaa.gov.
Additional specific preparedness actions can be found on GEMA's Ready Georgia website – www.ready.ga.gov. and on the FEMA website – www.ready.gov.
The Georgia Power website also contains excellent preparedness information for families and businesses: www.georgiapower.com/in-your-community/strm-center.

In this paper, we investigate (and extend) Ripley's circumference method to correct bias of density estimation of edges (or frontiers) of regions. The idea of the method was theoretical and difficult to implement. We provide a simple technique based of properties of Gaussian kernels-to compute efficiently weights to correct border bias on frontiers of the… (More)

extremely phonetic spelling in 8yo - something to wonder about, or not a problem?(16 Posts)
Friend's 8 yo son is an extreme phonetic speller where almost no word is consistently or correctly spelled, and reading a sentence usually requires several attempts before the jumble of letters can be translated into sounds that make words. Often words are broken up and syllables attached to the adjacent word - though not consistently.
He is otherwise doing absolutely fine at school, no associated difficulties, no signs of dyslexia or processing disorders or anything that I know of. He reads, and is read to at home, but doesn't appear to translate what appears in books into what he writes. He's at a private prep that should have sufficient provision for 1:1 work if it were thought necessary.
Would this be something you'd wonder about a bit? Or is it normal? I don't know.
Hitherto I've assumed that it's probably fairly normal and if the parents don't push spelling, the son will learn eventually and is unlikely to develop a complex about it. But if actually the parents don't realise that intervention might be needed, the school isn't doing anything, and no-one is showing him that consistent and (mostly) correct spelling is a distinct aid to communication, then at what point is the poor child actually going to learn to write anything that others can read? The boy's mother has been a non-reader and "creative" speller all her life; and his father is also a non-reader and is pretty switched off from his son's education. That's not being snobby about people who don't read books, or can't spell, but it is probably relevant background, whether or not there is any causal link in any direction there.
If it's something that people would actively be concerned about, I might think about asking if the school is doing anything. The child's parents are unlikely to welcome me sticking my nose in, so I have no intention of doing anything other than asking gently once and letting it go afterwards. Even that might be too much.
Also - worth pointing out that I have no experience of what happens if you teach children to read using phonics. I think that's the method that was used on this boy, who learned to read in reception. It might be that this is what phonics produces...? I don't know, I learnt to read very early and it never occurred to me to spell a word differently from how i'd seen it written - which probably shows a total lack of imagination on my part...
Can you give an example?
My dd does phonetics. I didn't at school (I'm 34)
We've done "tricky words" they don't spell how they sound iykwim? since dd was 4.
English is a hard language between silent letters and non existent letters it's a wonder any of us can spell or read!
It's a long way from not getting the nuances of English spelling right - more like
"hapy buf day and me ne hapy ritens I hop u have a wun dif ful day" (which is more or less what he wrote in a birthday card to one of us recently)
That example was fairly cogent, but when it's creative writing and the ladybird is eating the beetle and spiderman and a transformer and three snakes come into the story it's hard enough to work out what on earth is going on, without nearly everything being broken up into phonetically-spelled syllables and then inconsistently elided, not necessarily with the correct word.
My dd would have used spelling like that last year when she was 6. Basically spelling the sounds you hear. So phonics
I would imagine the boy isn't learning the correct spellings for words and so is using phonics to spell.
Teachers are even bigger saints than I thought, then, if they decipher this every day... good to know it's normal.
Wondering if anyone will ever actively teach him the correct version - he's young and there's plenty of time yet, but then i know plenty of 8yo children who can spell reasonably consistently and correctly (and not just the ones whose parents push them into spelling bees). Will keep an eye on it. He certainly seems able to learn and communicate well - hopefully it will all turn out OK with the spelling!
I would be worried that he's not being taught phonics well .
Phonics isn't just about reading it's also about how words are spelt and learning the different ways sounds can be represented. He needs to be taught how to use his "spelling voice" to say the words precisely (either aloud or in his head) and to listen to the sounds. Your example shows he's not doing this. Then he needs to be taught which representation of the sound to use in each word.
English is complex that's why it needs to be taught systematically and thoroughly.
He needs to be taught the correct spelling from the start. The more times he sees a word written incorrectly the more likely he is to misspell.
My main concern in what you've said is the fact that he's spelling the same word different ways.
My dd is 8 (year 3 at school) and doesn't write phonetically. I think her teacher would have raised it as a concern if she did.
My 6yo in year 1 probably writes half phonetically and half correct spelling.
It is a long way behind what would be expected at that age. At first glance it does look like badly or incompletely taught phonics though. My worry would be that even with the resources to provide 1:1 the school may not know how to fix it.
At this stage, I don't think that this is going to fix itself though.
If he is 8, he is either yr3 or yr4. I just wondered how can the teachers miss this ?
Maybe he may already be having some kind of help at school that you don't know about?
My daughter IS dyslexic but this is a common problem which isn't just experienced by dyslexic students. Often they are very visual learners and don't learn to de-code, only memorise words. There are a few avenues to look at.
1) How is his eye-tracking? Is it smooth from side to side or is there a jump when his eyes are trying to track your finger? If so, it will be difficult for him to follow a line of writing and that would then jumble the words. there are exercises to fix this.
2) Is he simply learning what the words look like and then trying to guess? The best programme I have found to 'fix' this problem is Easyread. You do it at home for 15 minutes daily and it teaches the child to de-code. It's excellent.
3) Spelling is tricky. The usual method of teaching via lists is a complete waste of time, IMHO, unless you have a talented speller (like me or my eldest daughter) The best programme I have found for teaching spelling is spelling tutor.co.uk. This is a focussed programme which is individualised and works on spelling words in a sentence, which is the only way in which I believe they should be practised. I've withdrawn my youngest from her spelling classes at school and am using this programme at home, which is working brilliantly.
Easyread - Per month£132 .
I used dancing bears - £16 per book 10 minutes a day.
I might think about asking if the school is doing anything. The child's parents are unlikely to welcome me sticking my nose in, so I have no intention of doing anything other than asking gently once and letting it go afterwards. Even that might be too much.
^^ This is the big problem.
There are several good spelling programs out there - one I used did lots of writing sentences from dictation but the OP doesn't sound like she is in a position to do them with the child.
I'd be amazed if the school and the child's teacher weren't aware of the poor spelling already - they teacher at least should be seeing the child written work very regularly.
Whether the school has an effective spelling intervention program or feel this child would benefit from it is an entirely different matter IME.
I think that's going to be the problem. Apples and pears would probably go a long way towards sorting this issue, but the OP isn't really in a position to actually suggest anything.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I'd be amazed if class teachers haven't picked up on this as well.
I suspect me asking anything at all is going to result in me being blacklisted as an interfering bitch - parents react very strongly to anything interpretable as criticism. However, if the point is got across, that is probably worth it...

DL: I am on a virtual book tour for my Memoir Network Writing Series. This article appeared recently on the LinkedIn Pulse as a guest post.
Have you ever asked, "Who cares about my memoir?"
A perennial, and perhaps inherent, challenge every memoir writer faces is that of audience. Specifically, every writer is saddled with the incapacitating doubt that there is an audience for his/her memoir.
"Who will want to read my memoir? Who cares about my memoir?" asked enough times can bring your writing to a halt.
Of course, it's a good question. Who will want to read about someone else's life or even—horrors!—MY life.
"But," you gasp, "isn't that what a memoir is—the story of my life? What's the point of writing if no one is interested?"
Well, yes, it's true no one is interested in your specific life but…

Indianapolis Welcomes Tow Yard Brewing
Tow Yard Brewing opens it's doors for the first time this weekend for their soft launch! Located near my favorite Colts tailgating spot, the brewery is housed in the old Chateau Thomas Winery Building at at 501 S. Madison Ave. Here's a slideshow I created from their image posts on Twitter. Make sure and drop by to try their Emerald Circle IPA, Goldie Hops American Style Golden Ale, Hook Up Shandler, and Horse Power Double Pale Ale.
Daredevil's 1 Year Anniversary Revisited
Daredevil's 1 Year Anniversary Events were a blast. 6 locations, 6 "Raredevil" releases, and a very special food pairing at Black Market. If you weren't able to make any of these events, Daredevil released a Raspberry, Blackberry, and Cherry Muse, Slip Stream Pale Ale, Mr. 300 Man American Barleywine, and Char Imperial Smoked Dark Mild. Some of my favorites were Slip Stream Pale Ale, Char Imperial Smoked Dark Mild, and the Cherry Muse. Of the 6 events, my favorite was the food pairing at Black Market. It was a very intimate setting, with only 55 seats available for the event. The meal included four courses:
- Course 1: Indiana Perch Ceviche served with Carnival Saison
- Course 2: Red Curry Poutine served with Liftoff IPA.
- Course 3: Glazed Pork Cheeks with Baked Herb Polenta with Char Imperial Smoked Dark Mild
- Course 4: Fried Waffle Batter with Citrus Fruit Preserves and Mr. 300 American Barleywine
Indy Beer News was also there doing a live podcast right from Black Market. It's a great interview with Daredevil Brewing's Bill Ballenger, Mike, and Shane Pearson. Limited glassware was also provided for each of these events including Daredevil pint and tulip glasses. Here's a link to the Indy Beer News podcast.
The Magnificent Multitude of Beer
Pop Chart Lab has created the mother of all beer taxonomy posters! The aptly titled "The Magnificent Multitude of Beer" is incredibly detailed. Each beer style is linked divided into Ale and Lager, then to individual style, an example, and finally the glass it should be served in. Well done! It looks like they took their original "Very Many Varieties of Beer" and continued to add to it. This 60″ x 40″ poster will surely be the envy of your beer enthusiast friends. Check out our previous post on Pop Chart Lab here.
CANvitational Revisited
Cigar and Beer Tasting Revisited
Our first Cigar and Beer Pairing was one of our smoothest tastings to date. Many thanks to Ryan and Jenny Kraner for taking this idea and running with it. I'm sure there were countless hours of research going into this :). I'd also like to thank Eric Cole for hosting the event. Such a great time! CAO Gold Corona Gordo cigars were paired with Saison Dupont, Franziskaner Weissbier Dunkel, Triton Magnificent Amber, and John Henry Colonial Cream & Brown Ale (one of my favorites). Some homebrew also made an appearance including BIMP's Wheat Wine, Super Duper Cuker (Wheat Wine w/ Cucumber), and FIC Bier (Dunkel Weisse). Each beer was sampled before lighting the cigar, and then again while smoking it. You'd be amazed at how the flavor characteristics of each beer morphed throughout the process. Lighter beers were sampled first, and moved towards darker/heavier/stronger beers towards the end. All around great event!
UpCup 2013 Revisited
UpCup 2013 was a blast this year. Beer Is My Passion had four entries including an American Barleywine (Kyle Alder), an English IPA Spruce Beer (Michael Mustin), a Wood Aged Old Ale (Erik Howell), and a Southern English Brown (Jenn Myers). Upland really knows how to host an awesome homebrewing event. This is by far my favorite competition of the year. We all enjoyed Upland beer on tap, good conversation with brewers from around the state, and awesome food catered by Upland. This year's UpCup winner was homebrewer and beer judge Thomas Wallbank of the Indianapolis Foam Blowers with a Berliner Weisse. He'll have his name added on the UpCup trophy with the other winners, and he'll get to keep it until next year's competition. Second place went to Ron Smith's Saison, also a Foam Blower and beer judge. I'm very happy to announce that our own Jenn Myers ended up taking third place with her 221b Baker St. Southern English Brown this year 🙂 If you happen to bump into her make sure to congratulate her. We're all super proud of her!
Here's Jenn just after they announced she had taken third place.
Jenn received a free case of any Upland beer of her choice out of Upland's massive beer cave. Rad Red? Don't mind if I do 🙂
We all had an awesome time, and as you can see from some of the pictures there may have even been some kung fu fighting in the parking lot 🙂 BIMP later took the party to The Tap for some celebratory brews.

Ludwig von Drake comes from Vienna, Austria. Some creators have presumed that his family is a German branch of the Duck family but that hasn't been included in any major stories. (According to a theory by Don Rosa, the professor married Matilda McDuck, one of Scrooge McDuck's sisters).
Ludwig has a fascination with knowledge. Since his youth he has been trying to obtain as many diplomas, in any science, as possible. He is often shown as having little social competence, however, and is often portrayed as being very forgetful, sometimes even somewhat senile. In the comics Ludwig usually visits with Donald Duck and Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. On occasion, Daisy Duck would coax (or even trick) the professor into giving lectures and tours for her ladies' club. Sometimes Ludwig and Gyro Gearloose have competed as to who is the greater inventor.
Ultima roleEdit
Ludwig is one of the geniuses whose often helping the Ultimawielder for the info they needed to know.
althought, sometime he's kinda slipped few time.

Welcome to our Moving Day® "Movers & Shakers" Team Page!
In the United States, 50,000-60,00 new cases of Parkinson's disease (PD) are diagnosed each year, adding to the one million people who currently have PD. The cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown and presently there is no cure; and only a handful of treatments. People with Parkinson's display their symptoms differently. Some people go for years with relatively minor impairment while in others tremors, muscle rigidity, the loss of certain motor movements, balance, posture and speech can manifest quite quickly and can be quite pronounced. These losses can be very difficult to deal with and people with PD often struggle to cope.
Two years ago my husband, Rob, was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I am walking to raise money for Parkinson's research and to support local Parkinson's programs.
Join our team for the local National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) Moving Day® walk, the first nationwide grassroots campaign that spotlights the disease on a national level and gives the chance to raise awareness and funds in our own community. Your support will help NPF continue improving the quality of care for those living with Parkinson's disease.

The Nuneaton Vegan Fair was put together in just three weeks, when the doors opened over a thousand people walked in and by midday it was so rammed that you could hardly move. My hat goes off to Kevin and the Midlands Vegan Campaign for putting this event together and managing the promotion so professionally, you really outdid yourselves and have set a new benchmark for others to follow.
But lets rewind here a little….its January, its cold, its wet and people are financially poorer after Christmas. When I first noticed the event online I considered not attending. I questioned whether the 100 mile drive was worth the risk and whether I'd sell any produce. Thankfully I was very very wrong and after meeting Kevin I can see why, this man means business, he doesn't do things by half measures and certainly knows how to rally up the crowds.
And how did we do? Well pretty well thank you! All in all we had a great day and it was lovely being back in the Midlands. The people here are so friendly and open, I was chatting so much that by 4pm my throat was as dry as Gandhi's flipflop!
Also sales were high, we sold over 100 pouches and have started to receive repeat online orders from those who purchased at the fair. All I can add really is big thank you to everyone who came along, tried our new product and supported the Midlands Vegan Campaign.
And if you missed us at Nuneaton you'll find us back in the Midlands at the Walsall Vegan Fair on February 18th, further details on our events page.

Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5) at Green Bay Packers (4-3)
So apparently Chad Henne is worse than Blaine Gabbert? I didn't even know that was possible. Before he got hurt, Gabbert looked serviceable against Oakland's terrible secondary last week, completing 8 of 12 for 110 yards and a touchdown. However, then Henne came in and went 9 of 20 for 71 yards as the Jaguars blew a lead in Oakland. Gabbert is back this week, so the Jaguars will probably only lose by 25 in Green Bay instead of 30.
The bad news for the Jaguars injury wise is that Maurice Jones-Drew is out at least this week and possibly many more as he's being described as out indefinitely. He is their best player by far. Last year, he accounted for 47.7% of their yards from scrimmage, most of any non-quarterback since OJ Simpson in 1974. This year, he was at 39.9% heading into last week's game. As good as Rashad Jennings looked in the preseason, he managed just 44 yards on 21 carries last week against an Oakland run defense that was allowing 4.4 YPC coming in, which would have been 23rd in the league this week. They now rank 8th because of Jennings' terrible game.
This line is huge (biggest one all year), but we might actually be getting line value with the Packers. The yards per play method of calculating line value suggests this line should be Green Bay -15.5, while rate of sustaining drives differential suggests it should be -17. And Green Bay doesn't even rank among the elite in the league in those stats, ranking 11th in yards per play differential and 9th in rate of sustaining drives differential. The Jaguars are just so horrible.
The Jaguars' yards per play differential is -1.6. No one else is worse than -1.1. Their rate of sustaining drives differential is -16.8%. No one else is worse than -11.2%. Even against Oakland in their near win, they had half as many first downs as Oakland and managed a measly 3.4 yards per play to Oakland's 4.7. With Maurice Jones-Drew out, they don't stand much chance of keeping this one close unless Green Bay comes out asleep.
I hate laying more than a touchdown with a team and I certainly hate laying more than two touchdowns with a team, but Green Bay is the right side this week. This line is completely legitimate and Aaron Rodgers is playing out of his mind right now, completing 54 of 67 for 680 yards, 9 touchdowns, and no interceptions in his last 2 games. The Packers aren't as good as they were last year because their offensive line and running game isn't as good and their defense isn't forcing as many turnovers. They're also dealing with injuries as Greg Jennings is still out and Jordy Nelson may join him. Meanwhile, defensively, starters Nick Perry, Sam Shields, and Charles Woodson are out this week, though BJ Raji is expected to return.
In spite of that, it's once again become reckless to bet against Aaron Rodgers. As a starter, Rodgers is 44-29 ATS, including 36-22 ATS since the start of the 2009 season. As home favorites of 10 or more, he's 8-3 ATS. He's playing angry right now and I don't expect this team to be asleep. I instead expect them to come out firing on all cylinders and get a blowout win here at home over by far the league's worst team missing its best player. Remember, at 4-3 in the loaded NFC, every game counts so they don't have time to take a game off. Plus, the loaded NFC is 17-11 ATS against the AFC this year.
Plus, the favorite/dog disparity is eventually going to close. Dogs are 63-39 ATS this year and neither dogs nor favorites have finished more than 10 games above .500 over the course of a whole season in at least a decade. It's not a big play on the Packers because I hate laying this many points, but I like them. On top of that, they're also my survivor pick of the week because I've somehow managed to not use them at all this year. I'd be stunned if they lost. Only 4 teams have ever lost as 15 point favorites and none since 1995.
Public lean: Green Bay (new thing I'm adding, siding with the odds makers on bets is not a bad thing to do since they make so much money, so I'm listing this here to allow readers to "fade" the public, if they so choose, in this example, the odds makers win if Jacksonville covers)
Sharps lean: GB 10 JAX 5
Final update: No change.
Green Bay Packers 38 Jacksonville Jaguars 16 Survivor Pick (HOU, NE, NO, BAL, SF, ATL, CHI)
Pick against spread: Green Bay -15 (-110) 1 unit

Bio-Scope on Henna
Geeks are not followers, and women who are geeks do not use chemicals either.
Bio-scope is sharing good tips on how to be the best looking geek.
Ok,We need to talk about your hair because they seem kind of damage.
If you ever had any colour recently you should think twice before reading this because this page is made for natural hair.
It may seems strange to you to read that but honestly colours are full of damaging products. So you should start by stopping dowing anything to it.
Why? is that a true question? because if you are looking for a real look you should stop treating them badly with all that chemicals.
I mean it.
When I was young and influenced by adds I was wandering how to get myself looking at least a bit better and I was doing all that funny stuff to my hair. Shame on my ignorance.
Yes, I kind of have nasty picture of it to show you. if you are interested of course.
Ok, let stop chat about that crazy habit to listen to your hairdresser and let's listen to the new wave: BioScope.
How to have nice strong hair even if your hair are kind of weak.
Do like Indians do for century, there is a cosmetic reason for treating hair with henna, it is like a soft pellicule of protection around them that strenght them.
Very well.How would they get that kinda crazy good looking hair if not with henna?
Now I am going to get into details.
Buy it first: I mean henna powder not these fake coulouring product, ok less affort and selling you results without chemicals, but still there are some of it in it.
Yeah, there are?
So buy the real stuff and get prepaired I mean it. :)
now buy plastic gloves, otherwise you have a risk to find a ugly pair of hands which may be yours after all.
This can be a cheap one. But get soft and thin ones because you have to feel wht you are doing!
next step is to find in your kitchen something that can help you twist the mix. in wood could be much better. Because iron and silver and other metal could badly oxyde your mixture.
A nice ceramic bowl could make it too if only big enough because the powder can really spraid every where and you would not like that.
Now get water boil very hot and spread it in the bowl of henna until you get it soft but not too much because I would like to add some advice to it.
You should get yoghurt in it if you hair are dry and even a spoon of olive oil if these are very damaged.
Hotness will get the product active so like a friend told me recently that she was doing it with cold water… it is not possible! Very hot water is a clue in the process.
Now what is the colour of henna ou shoud choose for yourself. I know this can seems a tricky or stupid question.
Whatever I have some answers for those who wonder:
blond girls can do henna but you will never get any shade under the one you naturally have.
because it is a thin pellicule added and it s not getting any INTO your hair structure.
But blond can be great on light brown girl to add reflections, even for a darked hair girl like me it is cool to have these reflexions.
OOOOoooHHHH yeah!
Yes, no chemical needed to have reflexion. isn't it a great super news?
Yes it is!
So you can do blond but as dark your hair are as long you will try to keep the product on your head.
Because the product is more active when kept longer.
This works for the rest, if ou have more than 20 percent of white hair do not think of it.
unless you would have liked to be called HULK, I was called like that at my first henna so trust me.
and thanks guys at school for you compassion…
The redish look is for those who dare but it can be lightening and soft on dark hair.
copper colours and stuff are great on red hairs getting a stronger llok and stronger hair in the same time is a good idea isn't it.
Now you washed your hair (better for it to get on to it)
You dryed it, i know drying your hair is drying them too but you are going to feed them for hours and months afterwards so what is the problem.
And now we are going to be practical.
get a ground that cannot be dangered by pieces of henna because this is stroungly colouring everything!
or put a plastic on it.
The clue with henna is that after the application it get active by drying.
Yes far far different from chemical: think natural ;) ok! So let it breathe by not covering it… you will see it falling everywhere so try to prepare a restricted area for yourself.
My favourite option is to cut the time by drying my hair cover by henna with a comb until it is dry.
For the application alone, I would choose to lie on your knees and work from the floor.
Get your head down and put it from the roots first. Everywhere, at the end only I will spread the Henna to the end.
Now I can tell you this is kind of heavy, and I will provide advice to your neck about it.
Some ladies have soft shoulders who cannot handle this for a long time so there is a very good technique.
So the comb option is also good for that: oh yes you can.
it will fastened the process.
But do not wash them with shampoo until first removing the powder with water between an half an hour after finishing application and more accordingly to the colour you wanna get. When the water has removed the product dry them and stay as long as possible like that.
(sleeping with it is an option but it can get ugly be carefull)
Then you can wash your hair and dry them again yes, because the henna loves hotness and it is getting stronger with it.
Darlings, if you are loosing your hairs and not only but having hair problem like dry skin:
this is colouring your scalp too, so it will hide for some times too… isn't it a great idea?
But beware of the Hulk style ;) for hair that were damaged by chemical and lightened by them before!
Ok my only last advice would be to try once and again later. Because with henna ou get to personnal use.
I could not live without it anymore, trust me this was a clue for my dry hair and it gives me volumes too.
I am not a perfect geek, but I will share with you all I know about not beeing a sheep in the world.
Do not believe anything but your instinct. that is a trust that has lead me only to very great things!
See you ladies.
Soon i hope for another trip on how to be goodlooking without adds;)

"They gathered in the palace's picture gallery and were served champagne, wine and canapes of chicken with zucchini on skewers, mini Cornish pasties, smoked quail eggs, foie gras and tiny rolls of duck filled with melon."
So – does the 82 year old queen have a sense of humor or a streak of naughtiness? How dare she serve foie gras to a president who got his political start in Chicago!
Me thinks another protest is in order.

This is delicious, considering the self-righteous piety of Brits commenting on Joe Moore's ordinance and his trip to Great Britain to support a town there in passing its own anti-fois gras ordinance.

text: Void Realm is the term for theoretical realities which do not operate on Yggdrassil hardware. There is no evidence that they exist, but by comparison there is no evidence that they don't. Some people assume that the original disaster was caused by some Void entity; whether this is true or not, there is no way of knowing. A good way to think about void realms would be to consider them bubbles: worlds that cannot be seen, but may be out there, lurking in the dark.

Face Mapping
Face Mapping is a revolutionary approach to skin analysis developed by The International Dermal Institute exclusively for Dermalogica. Using the zones and the Dermalogica Face Map as a guide, the therapist is able to conduct an inch-by-inch, methodical analysis of the facial landscape, guaranteeing that the subsequent professional treatment and home-care prescription will fully address each client's concerns.
Zones 1 and 3
Traditionally, this zone is regarded as the "sister" to the bladder and digestive system. If you breakout frequently in this area, it might mean that you need to improve your elimination by drinking more water and eating more "whole" foods. Zone 2 The middle of the forehead, between the eyebrows, is related to the liver. Congestion in this zone can indicate over consumption of alcohol, rich foods, and possibly a food allergy (such as lactose intolerance).
Zones 4 and 10
The ears are highly sensitive area related to kidneys. If you notice that your ears are very hot, you might be stressing them out - drink plenty of plain water and cut down on caffeine and alcohol.
Zones 5 and 9
The cheeks often give an accurate glimpse into any respiratory distress. Smokers or people suffering from allergies generally experience fine, broken capillaries or congestion in this area.
Zones 6 and 8
The eyes are truly a window to the body's health because they're related to the kidneys. Dark circles, while here datary, are made worse by dehydration and poor elimination.
Zone 7
A reddened nose can indicate heightened blood pressure, or the early stages of rosacea. Congestion around the upper lip can occur if you use comedogenic lipsticks or liners.
Zones 11 and 13
If you've had extensive dental surgery done, you might notice a breakout in the jaws near years.
Zone 14
Don't forget to include your neck in your treatment regimen - its skin is just as fragile as that on your face, so it definitely needs the benefits of motorization and sun protection.

Chapter Two is finished!
So many thanks to Teb for scanning pages and making the cover while I kept inking.
Just home from the printer's, these copies of Chapter 2 from my ongoing project, THE BEST WE COULD DO, will be coming with me to the Alternative Press Expo.
APE is this weekend, October 1-2, at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco.
I'll be at Table 521 with Jake Wyatt and the gorgeous Anthology Project, Volume 2.
And if I'm not too overwhelmed by the space and the crowd, I may even draw some portraits.

Dulwich Hamlet boss Gavin Rose is discussing the futures of loan hits Dumebi Dumaka and Vas Karagiannis – with both notching in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Staines Town.
The pair have chipped in with 13 goals since joining from Maidstone United, writes Tom Edwards.
Dumaka has seven goals in 12 matches – two behind the club's leading scorer Nyren Clunis despite less than half as many games in pink and blue.
Karagiannis has netted six times. Since Hamlet last lost in the Ryman League on November 1, at least one of the prolific double act has netted in the last six fixtures.
"We're discussing the renewal of both Karagiannis and Dumaka's loan deal," said Rose. "Primarily Dumaka, because his runs out a littler sooner.
"It's all about whether we'll continue the loan or try to sign them permanently. The impact they've had has been clear to see, especially in terms of goals. Just look at Tuesday – we didn't play particularly well in the first half, but Dumaka led by example, held the ball up effectively and scored a goal to put us ahead.
"Keeping them on will clearly help us improve as a team, but we also feel that we can provide them both with the best opportunity to improve as players too.
"Apart from keeping Karagiannis and Dumaka, we're certainly looking to strengthen the side, but we're only interested in someone that's better than what we have in the first team at the minute."
Another player who has been integral to Dulwich's recent unbeaten run is left-back Nathan Green.
"I'm playing some of my best football here at Dulwich and that's down to the coaches Gavin [Rose], Kevin [James] and Junior [Kadi]," he said. "Their knowledge of the game is definitely far above this level and their attitude is perfect. They don't accept anything but winning and they give you that winning mentality essential to success.
"While it's easy to say that at the minimum we should at least be making the play-offs, I reckon that every single player in this squad believes, and is confident, that we can win the league."
Dulwich's players and manager seem confident that they're heading in the right direction – and why shouldn't they? They are unbeaten in eight matches.
Dumaka (thigh) is a doubt for the FA Trophy first round game against Royston Town.
Tooting & Mitcham saw their eight-match winning streak snapped by Greenwich Borough on Tuesday night – losing 3-2.
The Terrors are still top of Ryman League Division One South but a late goal by Robert Denness bagged maximum points for the hosts.
Sol Patterson-Bohner put Tooting in front on 22 minutes but they were pegged back just before half-time by Liam MacDevitt.
Denness netted from the spot in the 70th minute but Mike Dixon levelled things up.
Frank Wilson won the divisional manager of the month award for November. They had a perfect record and had equalled a club record of nine straight victories before defeat to Borough.

A lot of great journalists have lost their jobs in the past year. A lot of great newspapers have gone under in the past year. Despite what many might want you to believe, journalism is not dying. Google is not to blame. And there is a strong and vibrant outlook for journalism – it will probably just look a lot different.
I'm fortunate to have shared passions for journalism, public relations and technology. As time goes by, I see more and more of an intersection between these three areas. We're now at a point where technology is going to be even more critical to connecting content producers with sources of information, as can be seen with the rapid growth in popularity of new communication platforms like Twitter.
Regardless of how many journalists find themselves out of work in traditional newspaper environments, there are many new business models out there that will support the continued need for professional journalists. Whether a newspaper, website, blog or tweetstream, few individuals are better suited than a professionally trained journalist to deliver the news. There will always be a need for journalists, no matter how much the medium changes.

Greetings and Solidarity and so much love…those of us who are the same as you with ptsd and the trauma…and me as well as millions of our adults and youth who have come back from military service and have all the same identities. There is a birth that is taking place right now throughout our collective senses, the 2 senses of the 7 that Manley P. Hall said were not of our individual selves but of the collective.
This is what Mr. Hall didnt realize is that these two collective senses which he didn't name are being realized right now. So we are now on our new path and can reverse the parasitic modus of the powers-that-once-were and explain and inform as well as demonstrate compassion for suffering and trauma that shows the "giving-back-type-of-love" direction modus of the generation that is here now to not just witness but embody LOVE in our world. Its like 180 degrees and when we turn around to go in the opposite direction of parasitism-taking from the bottom, now we go and give to the bottom. But when we turn around nothing looks familiar. Its a different view! What do we do with this view? How did we get here? It wasnt gradual, it was an ABOUT FACE! SO EVERYONE; ABOUT FACE!!!! WE ARE HERE. WOW! So, there is nothing to achieve, strive, wait, accumulate, acquire, get. WE ARE. IT IS. LOVE HAS WON. Full moon tonight in Virgo. March has 2 important Eclipses, April has Mars Retrograde, in May the portal opens to view what we have initiated right noiw and 5 PLANETS WILL BE RETROGRADE AT ONE TIME. As Mars in Scorpio scours the realms and wields the sword of the warriors of truth, the flame of the Violet Fire we emerge in September with our base identities changed, the same ABOUT FACE, with balance and clarity as the NEW LEADERS that have been gelling and cementing and watershedding during this impending Mars retrograde we are most prepared to take our places to serve humanity on a grand scale. This isn't grandiose this is reality. I felt these 2 additional collective senses yesterday that many thousands, perhaps millions of souls awakened and individual dna activations were widespread. There was also a large genocide I think.We may have lost a billion souls. That isnt what we are focusing on but nevertheless, its happening and perhaps this wave of bloodshed potentially is a karmic situation as well. It might be the debt evil fore-bears are paying. I dont know the answer to that, but we do know we are here right now for this task. There is much to do and lots of feelings to feel and we are equipped inside out to go forward. Thank you for sharing and commenting…so much love, Mardi

text: EDWIN BOYER, one of the venerable pioneers of Eaton county, where his parents took up their abode nearly seventy years ago, is the owner of a good farm in Chester township, where he maintains his home, though he is now living retired from the active labors which filled so large a portion of his honorable and useful career. Mr. Boyer is a native of the state of New York, where he was born on the 10th of March, 1825, being a son of Leonard H. and Margaret (Lepper) Boyer, both of whom were born in Herkimer county, New York-the former November 25, 1797, and the latter February 22, 1795, while both passed the closing years of their lives in Chester township, Eaton county, the father having been eighty-five and the mother eighty-four years of age at time of death. Leonard H. Boyer traded a mortgage on land in the state of New York for two hundred and forty acres of land in Chester township, Eaton county, Michigan, and eighty acres in Riley township, Clinton county. At the time these properties came into his possession no white man had presumed to take up his residence on the land, while it is very doubtful whether white men had visited the same, the Indians still roaming unmolested through the dim forests. On the 29th of June, 1837, Leonard H. Boyer and his family made their way into the dense forest of Chester township and established themselves in a primitive home one and one half miles west of the farm now owned and occupied by the subject of this sketch, who was about twelve years of age at the time. a little clearing was made in the woods and in the same was erected a log shanty, eighteen by twenty-two feet in dimensions, the flat roof, slanting one way, being made of elm bark root. Later the family removed to the homestead now owned by the subject of this brief tribute, and here a more commodious and substantial log house was erected for the family dwelling, the same being eventually replaced by the excellent frame residence now utilized. The father, with the assistance of his sturdy sons, cleared about one hundred acres of his land, and at the age of seventy years he retired from active labor and divided up the property among his children, with whom he and his wife thereafter made their home. They had six children: Lydorania is the wife of Parley Worden, who came from the state of New York, they died in Oceana county, Michigan; Sylvinia married Sidney B. Gates and is now deceased; Edwin, of this sketch, was the next in order of birth; Elizabeth is the wife of Jacob Inselman and they reside in Bellevue, this county; Sophia is the wife of Hobson Sinclair, of Sunfield, this county; Jorum resides on a portion of the old homestead, in Chester township, owning one hundred and ten acres. Edwin was reared to manhood in this county and his memory forms a connecting link between the early pioneer epoch and the latter days of opulent prosperity and advancement. He assisted in reclaiming a large amount of land in the virgin forest and is one of the sterling pioneers of the county, honored by all who know him. His present homestead comprises one hundred and forty acres and is well improved. As a young man he married Miss Phoebe Esther Kellogg, who was born in what was then the territory of Michigan, October 3, 1835, and who died in 1890. Four children were born of this union: Harriet, who remains with her venerable father on the homestead: Alma Roena, who is the wife of William Santee, of Chester township; Loa Euphema, who is the wife of Wm. J. Fetterman, of Chester township and Delia M., who died at the age of ten years.

Ganges Background
The Ganges river, also referred to as the Ganga, is known as the sacred river of India. Starting in the Himalayan mountain range, the Ganges stretches 2,700 km through northern India and Bangladesh before reaching the Bay of Bengal.
Source: Britannica Kids
The Ganges is described is sacred texts as the 'best of rivers, born of all the sacred waters'. It is an important part of Hindu pilgrimage and is a common site to spread ashes of the cremated or perform ritual bathing.
In addition, the Ganges has been providing hydration for centuries. Its fertile soil is beneficial for agriculture, and its water serves as a source of irrigation to the surrounding area. Rice, sesame, sugarcane and millets are some among the varieties of crops that can be grown along the river. Today, the Ganges is a source of life for the nearly 400 million people living near its basin. It is a valuable source of water for drinking, food, irrigation, and manufacturing.

|Published online: December 16, 2015
Major economies are competing to dominate the emerging energy economy, and governments, regardless of their position on the plan-market spectrum, are key in driving technology development and adoption. There is great interest in comparing energy rich regions within two distinctly different economic systems, the US and China, as they develop and move toward adopting new energy technologies and responding to changing environmental realities and globalization processes. The technology-energy-environment-economy (TEEE or TChain) interplay has profound implications for the world economy and presents very distinct analytical challenges both to social scientists and policy makers. This article introduces an integrated engineering and economic modeling framework to quantify and assess the interactions between technology, energy, the environment, and the economy (TEEE), particularly in energy rich regions (ERRs). This framework integrates three disparate models: a structural decomposition analysis (SDA), an input output process-flow model (IOPM), and a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model into a unified system. This integrated modeling framework facilitates analyzing TChain elements and simulating development scenarios in ERRs. The emerging clean energy economy greatly impacts the environment and the role of government in transitioning major economies to a sustainable development path. The TEEE framework would enhance a knowledge base upon which fully informed policy planning and decision-support systems can be based.

Preaching in the Power of the Holy Spirit
Entering into a conversation with the Triune God during your sermon prep process.
Available on:
Average Rating: [see ratings/reviews]
Matt Woodley: This is Matt Woodley, editor of PreachingToday.com on Monday Morning Preacher. Today's guest host is Kent Edwards. Kent is the author of Deep Preaching. He's also a contributor at PreachingToday.com. Kent, why don't you tell us a little bit more about your love, passion, and experience in preaching.
KE: Well, really it's come out of a lifetime of pastoral ministry. So I've pastored churches across North America for the past 35 years, and during that time I discovered it's not easy. I had gone to education to try and find answers, and that's led me to pursue various degrees and to teach at Gordon Conwell Seminary as well as Talbot School of Theology, part of Biola University. But it's also led me to found an organization a couple of years ago called Cross Talk Global.
God is growing his church all around the world. And did you know that 85 percent of all pastors in the world have no formal training? Seminaries, the traditional organizations for training, can't meet that need so what we're doing is we're working right now in eight different countries on four different continents, and we're taking gifted godly people who God has placed strategically in his church to help it grow and give them the basic training they need in order to effectively fulfill the ministry God has given them. That means preaching God's Word, and that means reliance on the Holy Spirit.
MW: So Kent, we wanted to talk to you about a topic. I don't know if you pitched this to us or we pitched it to you. But you had a lot of interest in this preaching in the power of the Holy Spirit, so we want to unpack that a bit. But I want to start with a story, a backwards story, a negative story. Can you think of a time when you've preached or maybe a season in your life when you preached where you're not really preaching in the power of the Holy Spirit?
KE: Yeah, well, as I said, I came out of pastoral ministry. So when I was an associate pastor—you preach every 6 weeks—things were a lot easier. Suddenly I'm preaching every week as a full-time senior pastor, and why am I hit-and-miss? What's missing? I'm doing my work in the commentaries, I'm studying, I'm doing everything my teachers told me. Why are there some weeks I am preaching and people are engaged by God's Word, and other weeks they're bored? And that carried over to the classroom. I was listening to a student who was preaching a sermon, it was trite, it was irrelevant, it was terrible—and I gave him an A.
MW: I'd like to be in your class.
KE: I gave him an A because he'd done everything I'd asked him to do. He had fulfilled the requirements of the course, he just hadn't preached a good sermon. So what was missing? The problem was not him, the problem was me. I hadn't raised to the level of consciousness something that sometimes I was doing and others did, but they weren't doing it deliberately, they weren't doing it consciously. What was that that I was missing?
Kent Edwards is professor of preaching and leadership, and director of the doctor of ministry program at Biola University in La Mirada, California, and author of Deep Preaching (B&H).

I only gave this 4 stars because while it's a good reminder, why should we even have to have an article about this? Shouldn't it be a given that pastors should seek the Holy Spirit's guidance when preaching? I think it was Charles Finney who once gave sermon totally unprepared. He had to just pray for guidance and get up in front of everyone. If I remember correctly, many were saved that day.

Don't let perfect get in the way of better
I'm adding a new bullet to my What I Believe document up top, thanks to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"Don't let perfect get in the way of better," Goodell says he told NFL owners and general managers debating changes to the league's overtime system.
Goodell may have been right when he said there's probably a perfect system out there. Maybe he wasn't. But was the new way — giving the team that kicked off the ball if the receiving team scores a field goal to start overtime — that perfect system? No. But it is better than what they have. And they're going to continue to look for ways to make it better, including considering whether the new approach should extend to the regular season.
How many projects break down over the desire to get it absolutely perfect? While I do believe that "good enough isn't," I also believe that there are many opportunities to find ways to just do things better. Incremental change gets you closer to the promised land. And that can mean eliminating a required signer in an approval process, getting rid of an unnecessary click-through on your website, or enabling someone to complete a form online without requiring him to print it out and fax or mail it.
A few years back, I managed a project to streamline our marketing-approval process. For a variety of reasons, we decided to make all the changes before rolling out the new process, which included the creation of very specific job descriptions for each position in the workflow. The goal was to not have to re-educate people more than once and we accomplished that. But it came at the expense of an additional three or four months of working with the old process.
In retrospect, I'd have worried less about the re-education and focused more on letting people see that the changes we were making were making us more efficient and accurate. That might have reduced the pushback and the unending debates over minute details. And that might have both accelerated the overall process and gotten us to an even better place than where we ultimately ended up.
We just shouldn't have let the desire for perfect get in the way of better.
This same philosophy applies to your resume, your LinkedIn profile, the cleanliness of your desk, the way you manage your teams, or any of a myriad of other day-to-day tasks. This desire for perfection can lead to paralysis, particularly if you spend too much time knee-jerking every time anyone gives you feedback.
How about you? How have you avoided the push for perfect and just gotten to better?

Today marks the day the United Nations has set out to promote the interests of girls around the world through the International Day of the Girl.
The theme for this year is "Girls' Progress = Goals' Progress: What Counts for Girls", which emphasizes that progress for girls is also progress for families, the community, and the world. The UN has called for mending the gaps in data on girls and young women, adding more systemic analysis, and taking a closer look at existing data so that the wellbeing of girls can be communicated more effectively.
"Much more can and needs to be done to harness the data required to ensure programs, policies and services effectively respond to the specific needs of girls." The UN released through their website. "When we invest in girls' health, safety, education and rights – in times of peace and crisis – we empower them to reach for their dreams and build better lives for themselves and their communities."
The International Day of the Girl was adopted as a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly on December 19, 2011 with the expressed purpose of addressing the challenges girls face and to promote female empowerment as well as the fulfillment of their human rights.
"Adolescent girls have the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life, not only during these critical formative years, but also as they mature into women." The UN website explains. "If effectively supported during the adolescent years, girls have the potential to change the world – both as the empowered girls of today and as tomorrow's workers, mothers, entrepreneurs, mentors, household heads, and political leaders.
Activist groups that support women's rights can come together and discuss ways to create change in the lives if girls for the future. The Day of the Girl-US, which organizes events pertaining to the International Day of the Girl in America, helps these groups to facilitate discussion, while employing an Action Team, comprised entirely of young women, to promote activism.
Issues discussed by the Action Teams as well as the website include girls in STEM, or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, body positivity, relationship abuse, and Title IX laws. Campaigns include promoting easy and free ways for girls to learn how to code, bringing menstruation stations to schools across the country, and resources for making sure girls are given a complete overview of Sex-Ed.
Facebook has a filter for those who wish to express solidarity with the ideas being promoted through the International Day of the Girl, while on Twitter the hashtag #InternationalDayOfTheGirl is circulating for those who want ot express their feelings.

Singer, actress. Born November 9, 1922, in Cleveland, Ohio. Dandridge's mother, the actress Ruby Dandridge, urged her two young daughters into show business in the 1930s, when they performed as a song-and-dance team billed as "The Wonder Children. Dandridge left high school in the late 1930s and formed the Dandridge Sisters trio with her sister Vivian and Etta James. They performed with the Jimmy Lunceford Orchestra and at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem, where Dandridge—who had a mixed racial heritage, early on confronted the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry.
As a teenager, Dandridge began to appear in small roles in a number of films, including the Marx Brothers film A Day at the Races (1937) and Drums of the Congo (1942). In 1945, she married Harold Nicholas of the dancing Nicholas Brothers (with whom she performed in the 1941 Sonja Henie musical Sun Valley Serenade); during their turbulent six-year marriage, Dandridge virtually retired from performing. A daughter, Harolyn, was born with severe brain damage in 1943; as Dandridge was unable to raise her herself, she placed the girl in foster care.

GNSS Announces New Tactical Aerostat
Designed for CH-47 Transportability
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (July 08, 2010) - Near Space Systems today announced the availability of its new lightweight aerostat, designed to be transported inside a CH-47 helicopter or transported by sling below the helicopter. Though light in weight because of the extensive use of aluminum materials, the StarTower 100-30K boasts a robust 30,000 cubic feet volume lift envelope capable of lifting moderate size payloads while operating from high mountainous locations.
GNSS has been developing this design for six months, though the Department of Defense just announced its interest in such a capability on May 18, 2010. In an announcement by DoD Acquisition Tsar Ashton Carter, at a demonstration of the new Persistent Ground Surveillance System aerostat, Mr. Carter stated, "To make PGSS more deployable, DoD is pursuing a spiral development to make the PGSS's 16,000 pound mooring station light enough to allow helicopter sling operations." This is another example of GNSS being in the forefront of the field of aerostat development. Not only can the GNSS StarTower 100-30K aerostat system be slung by a CH-47, but the pallet configuration of StarTower will also fit inside a CH-47 at less than one-third the weight of the current PGSS mooring station. The StarTower aerostat is also 5,000 cubic feet larger than its competitor PGSS aerostat, providing substantially more lift capability than the PGSS aerostat.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Matthew Perry's new TV comedy is called "Mr. Sunshine," but like a lot of things in the life of the former "Friends" star, the title is ironic.
"Mr. Sunshine," making its debut on the ABC television network Wednesday, features Perry as a 40 year-old bachelor who is trying not to be a self-obsessed jerk.
It's a character that Perry, 41, who stars, co-writes and executive produces the show, says he knows well.
"Ben has just pretty much been thinking about himself his entire life, and he's whistling in the dark and thinks he's a happy guy, and learns...that the secret to being happy and maybe gaining some inner peace is to care about others," Perry said.
"I think I spent a great deal of my 20s certainly -- and the bulk of my 30s -- a little self-obsessed. And it was in changing that, in my own life, that I thought it would make an interesting character -- sort of watching the 9,000 mistakes a man like that will make trying to transition himself from being a selfish guy to a nice, normal person," he told reporters.
Farewell then, wisecracking, well-intentioned Chandler Bing -- the character for which Perry is still best known to "Friends" fans around the world in endless TV reruns.
And welcome Ben Donovan, manager of a California sports arena, who realizes -- as his friend-with-benefits dumps him on his 40th birthday -- that he doesn't really want to be alone and must change.
During the 10-year run of "Friends," Perry made two trips to rehab for addiction to alcohol and prescription painkillers, and in his career since the show ended, he has struggled to find the kind of success enjoyed by some of his co-stars.
The initial episode of "Mr. Sunshine" was re-shot to lighten up some of its more melancholic aspects and Perry's character is surrounded by a cast of zany sidekicks, along with a lost elephant and some clowns.
Perry said the setting of the comedy in an entertainment and sports arena allowed for a vast variety of plotlines, from lingerie football to motocross and the odd celebrity guest.
Singer James Taylor, tennis star Jimmy Connors and teen heart-throb Nick Jonas appear in the first few episodes.
But the focus -- and the pressure -- is firmly on Perry, who is making his first return to a major network TV series since the critically-acclaimed drama "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" was yanked off the air in 2006 due to poor ratings.
"I just wanted to challenge myself and see if I could do something different," Perry said of his new roles as co-writer and producer.
Early reviews have been mixed. Entertainment Weekly called it "frequently sour" but said Perry deserved to succeed, while TVGuide.com called the show "initially underwhelming."
In a bit of real-life irony, the new show takes the time slot occupied by Perry's former "Friends" co-star Courteney Cox's "Cougar Town" on ABC. Moreover, it comes as other ex-"Friends" are similarly ushering out new projects.
Jennifer Aniston has a new movie, "Just Go With It" in theaters. Lisa Kudrow's Internet show "Web Therapy" is headed to cable TV. David Schwimmer's second film directing effort "Trust" hits U.S. theaters in April, and Matt LeBlanc is earning praise for making fun of his "Friends" alter-ego, Joey Tribbiani, in another new show "Episodes."
"And he looks really good too!," Perry said of his former co-star, "which I find annoying."
