Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
A few years ago we had a skipper at night named Jonathan I think. He was hysterical, did a whole light show with his flashlight and the boat lights and most of the spiel was original, my family was laughing the whole time it was great

Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
A few weeks ago, we had a JC skipper named Gretchen who was perfect. She delivered a great combination of classic jokes, plus some newer ones.
When she drew the revolver to repel the hippo attack, she waved the gun at the hippos without firing, and shouted "Shoo! Shoo!".
Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
In the past couple trips I've had a lot more fun with female skippers than male. I can't recall any names at the moment, but the women are more fun to me. Maybe it's because I never experienced a female skipper prior to March 2012.
I do remember a skipper I had in 2008 named Javier who was great, though. I sent them an email about him.

Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
Folks, with no disrespect meant for the OP or any posters in this thread, we must ask you to tread very lightly in your posts here.
Sometimes, skippers go off-script, and since it's not Disney's intention that they do that (no matter how much passengers may enjoy the changes) if you identify them by name, you run the risk of causing them problems with their supervisors, and even possible job reassignment. The Jungle Skips are among the most loved of park employees, and we know that nobody here would want to be the cause of complicating their position with the company.
Thanks for your help and your understanding!"Not Carnegie, Vanderbilt, and Astor together could have

Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
Not sure the name of the particular skipper, but my favorite line was given on a late night cruise:
(boat approaches hippo lagoon)
Skipper: Don't worry folks.. I can scare these hippos away.
(skipper yells at hippos)
Skipper: I'm looking for someone who's not afraid of a committed relationship!!
(hippos freeze)
Skipper: This happens all the time"Maybe the definition of home is the place where you are never forgiven, so you may always belong there, bound my guilt. And maybe the cost of belonging is worth it."
Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
I don't remember his name, but the one I had last time was absolutely hilarious. Not only was the material funny, but he was completely in character. It was great.
The one I had on the trip prior was just "Meh" so it really made this guy stand out.
Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
My favorite was one of the poor guys stuck doing JC during the Indy "preview party". The line for Indy was HORRENDOUS and in order to even get in to the JC building you had to fight through a couple layers of switchbacks that weren't always willing to follow CM orders about keeping a path clear.
Skipper started up the tour on the half-full boat with "OK, so you're all passholders. How many of you have probably been on this ride more times than I have?" (most hands raise) "How many of you think you could probably do this ride start to finish like a real skipper?" (fewer hands but still many). "OK, great - too bad you aren't the ones getting paid to do this. Now let's have some real fun..."
The cruise was one of the furthest off-script I'd ever been on but was PAINFULLY hilarious.Account abandoned due to trolls
Re: Best Jungle Cruise Skippers
Kevin Costner as he would redo his role today as Skipper Kev or "Wyatt". I never got to see Skipper John Lasseter do his tour but would be interested if he would like to. Maybe they can get both to TDL and Skipper, when the Jungle Cruise has its new reopening celebration next year in 2014Last edited by DisWedWay; 09-18-2013, 10:38 AM.

Neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by the excessive accumulation of neutral lipids in multiple tissues. Recently, two genes, adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL/PNPLA2) and comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58/ABHD5), have been shown to cause NLSD. ATGL specifically hydrolyzes the first fatty acid from triacylglycerols (TG) and CGI-58/ABHD5 stimulates ATGL activity by a currently unknown mechanism. Mutations in both the ATGL and the CGI-58 genes are associated with systemic TG accumulation, yet the resulting clinical manifestations are not identical. Patients with defective ATGL function suffer from more severe myopathy (NLSDM) than patients with defective CGI-58 function. On the other hand, CGI-58 mutations are always associated with ichthyosis (NLSDI), which was not observed in patients with defective ATGL function. These observations indicate an ATGL-independent function of CGI-58. This review summarizes recent findings with the goal of relating structural variants of ATGL and CGI-58 to functional consequences in lipid metabolism.

Neutral Lipid Storage Disease with Ichthyosis
neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) is a rare nonlysosomal, autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder characterized by systemic triacylglycerol (TG) deposition in multiple tissues (40), including skin, muscle, liver, central nervous system, and blood leukocytes. One of the diagnostic characteristics of NLSD, the lipid-containing vacuoles in leukocytes, was originally observed by Jordans et al. (29) in two brothers suffering from muscular dystrophy, and subsequently the condition was named Jordans' anomaly. In 1966, Rozenszajn et al. (45) described two sisters exhibiting the clinical manifestation of neutral lipid-containing vacuoles in leukocytes combined with severe ichthyosis. In the 1970s, Dorfman et al. (12) and Chanarin et al. (7) reported additional cases of NLSD with ichthyosis and lipid accumulation in leukocytes, gastrointestinal epithelium, bone marrow, cultured fibroblasts, liver, and striated muscle. More variable clinical features included liver steatosis, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal and cardiomyopathy, double-sided cataracts, growth retardation, ataxia, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, horizontal nystagmus, and/or mental retardation (7, 12, 45). In recognition of these early works, NLSD with ichthyosis was subsequently named Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS). The specific form of ichthyosis associated with CDS represents nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma and is characterized by a pronounced defect in the permeability barrier function of the skin (58). The condition is thought to result from the excessive incorporation of nonpolar lipids into the lamellar membrane (43). As a consequence, lipid microinclusions form a nonlamellar phase within the stratum corneum interstices, impairing the barrier function (10, 13).
In an excellent overview published in 1996, Igal et al. (26) comprehensively summarized data on 44 patients with NLSD. The authors discriminated between two groups of patients, 26 individuals that were affected with ichthyosis and 18 without ichthyosis. They also showed that essentially all NLSD patients without ichthyosis suffered from cardiomyopathy, whereas this condition was uncommon in CDS patients with ichthyosis. The distinct differences in clinical manifestations of NLSD between the two groups of patients suggested that the underlying mutations might affect (at least) two different genes. However, the identity of these genes remained unknown until 2001.
Mutations in CGI-58 Cause NLSD with Ichthyosis
In homozygosity mapping of consanguineous families with autosomal recessive ichthyosis, nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma was linked to a 7.7-cM (centimorgan) locus on chromosome 3p21 in six families (15). Finally, in 2001, Lefevre et al. (37) described eight different mutations in the human gene for comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58), also designated as α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein 5 (ABHD5), in nine families as causative for NLSD with ichthyosis (NLSDI).
CGI-58 was originally identified by the comparative analysis of the human proteome and the proteome of Caenorhabditis elegans (33). The gene consists of 7 exons and has a length of 5370 bp. CGI-58 mRNA comprises 1050 nucleotides and is translated into a 39-kDa polypeptide (349 amino acids). The protein belongs to an esterase/thioesterase/lipase gene family named α/β-hydrolase domain containing (ABHD) (39), which consists of 15 members. CGI-58 is synonymous with ABHD5. Figure 1 displays the domain structure of CGI-58. The α/β-hydrolase fold is located between amino acids 104 and 345. The protein contains a "pseudo-catalytic triad" at positions 153(Asn)/327(His)/301(Asp). It is considered very unlikely that CGI-58 exhibits hydrolase activity, because the nucleophilic serine usually found in the typical GXSXG esterase/lipase motif is replaced by an asparagine (Asn153) (9, 36, 37, 50, 63). However, CGI-58 contains a HX4D motif between amino acids 327 and 332 of the human protein that is present in proteins with acyltransferase activity (18, 21). A predicted lipid-binding motif corresponds to a highly hydrophobic region between amino acids 69 and 87 bordered by a conserved His82/Gly83 dipeptide (2, 50).
Figure 1 and Table 1 summarize the currently known, naturally occurring mutations in the gene for CGI-58. Sixteen mutations have been described (1, 37, 41, 49, 53, 54), including 10 single nucleotide mutations (7 transitions and 3 transversions) leading to missense mutations (7) and nonsense mutations (3). Additionally, two deletion mutations, two insertion mutations, and two splice site mutations leading to premature stop codons and truncated proteins have been shown to cause NLSD with ichthyosis. True null mutations have not been observed so far; however, several protein truncations lack the α/β-hydrolase domain, the lipid-binding region, the pseudo-catalytic triad, and the acyltransferase domain, suggesting that these patients completely lack functional CGI-58 (37). The clinical phenotypes of patients suffering from NLSD with ichthyosis are summarized in Table 1. As mentioned above, all patients are affected with ichthyosis. Liver steatosis is seen only in eight of twelve patients and myopathy is quite rare.
Although the causal relationship between CGI-58 and NLSD has been known since 2001 (37), the biochemical basis of NLSD caused by CGI-58 mutations is only partially understood. Early studies with NLSD-derived fibroblasts demonstrated that the TG content is 2- to 20-fold higher in patient fibroblasts compared with cells from healthy individuals (22, 60). The accrual of neutral lipids was shown not to be caused by a defect in mitochondrial fatty acid (FA) uptake or defective β-oxidation (42, 60). Also, enzymatic activities of lipases, carboxyesterases (25, 48, 59, 60), and enzymes for the glycerolipid synthesis (24, 59) were normal in most studies. Hilaire et al. (22), however, observed an impaired degradation of TG containing long-chain FA in NLSD cells, suggesting a defect in long-chain TG hydrolase activity. Importantly, Coleman and colleagues (24, 59) suggested that TG accumulation in NLSD is caused by a defect in the recycling of TG-derived acylglycerols into phospholipids.
More recent studies employed mutant CGI-58 to explore the functional role of this protein in TG accumulation. Yamaguchi et al. (62) demonstrated that the mutated CGI-58 variant Q130P is not recruited to lipid droplets (LD) due to an inability to interact with perilipin. Gosh et al. (18) tested whether the presence of the acyltransferase motif in CGI-58 has functional implications and showed that CGI-58 exhibits acyl-CoA-dependent acyltransferase activity for lysophosphatidic acid generating phosphatidic acid in vitro. This study also showed that mutant forms of CGI-58 (Q130P and E260K) associated with NLSD were not compromised in acyltransferase activity, indicating that this activity is not affected in NLSD. The physiological relevance of CGI-58 as acyltransferase and its putative role in lipid metabolism require elucidation. In 2006, our laboratory discovered that CGI-58 drastically enhanced the enzymatic activity of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), suggesting that CGI-58 functions as an activator of lipolysis and intracellular mobilization of fat stores (36). Mutant CGI-58 variants (Q130P, E260K, and 190TER) failed to activate ATGL. These findings indicated for the first time that ATGL-mediated lipolysis might be crucially involved in cellular neutral lipid homeostasis and that a decreased ATGL activity in response to defective enzyme activation by CGI-58 results in systemic TG accumulation.
ATGL Is a CGI-58-Activated TG Hydrolase
ATGL was initially annotated as transport-secretion protein 2.2 (TTS 2.2). In 2004, three groups discovered independently that this protein was involved in adipose tissue TG breakdown, and the enzyme was designated adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) (66), desnutrin (56), and calcium-independent phospholipase (PL)A2ζ (27). ATGL hydrolyzes TG and releases the first FA from the glycerol backbone. The enzyme exhibits high substrate specificity for TG and only low activity against diacylglycerols (DG) and phospholipids (27, 38, 66). Essentially no activity was observed against cholesteryl- and retinyl-ester substrates (66). Jenkins et al. (27) and Lake et al. (34) showed that ATGL also acts as a DG transacylase. However, the physiolgical importance of this observation requires further investigation.
Figure 2 displays the domain structure of ATGL. Human ATGL comprises 504 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 56 kDa, sharing 86% homology with its murine ortholog (66). ATGL belongs to a class of α/β-proteins containing a patatin domain of three-layer sandwich architecture (α/β/α), which is located within the NH2-terminal half of the protein (amino acid residues 1–251). The patatin domain is named after the potato tuber protein patatin, which was previously shown to exhibit weak acylhydrolase activity (46). The human genome harbors a family of nine proteins with a patatin domain subsumed under the name of patatin-like phospholipase domain containing (PNPLA) 1 to 9 (31, 61, 64, 65). The members of this family most closely related to ATGL (PNPLA2) are PNPLA1, adiponutrin (PNPLA3), gene sequence-2 (GS2, PNPLA4), and GS2-like (PNPLA5). The physiological functions of these proteins remain mostly elusive.
The catalytic site of ATGL is located within the patatin domain and differs from the catalytic triad frequently found in serine hydrolases. It is characterized by an uncommon catalytic dyad similar to that of human cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) (11, 46). Mutational analysis revealed that in ATGL the catalytic dyad consists of Ser47 (34, 36) located within a GXSXG motif and Asp166 (our unpublished observation) outside the central β-sheet. Both patatin domain-containing proteins and cPLA2 contain a Gly-Gly-X-Arg sequence motif that defines the oxyanion hole of the active site. The nitrogen atom in glycine stabilizes the oxyanion formed during the nucleophilic attack by the catalytic serine during substrate cleavage (46). For ATGL, the glycine-rich oxyanion hole is assembled by amino acid residues 14–18.
The COOH-terminal region of ATGL (amino acid residues 252–504) consists primarily of α-helical and loop regions. A putative lipid-binding region is located within a hydrophobic stretch at the COOH terminus of the protein (amino acid residues 315–360) (51). Brummer lipase, the ATGL orthologous enzyme in Drosophila melanogaster also contains a peptide region called Brummer box for localizing the protein to LD (19). The COOH-terminal region of ATGL includes two phosphorylation sites (Ser404 and Ser428, respectively). To date, however, it is unknown whether phosphorylation affects ATGL activity and which protein kinase phosphorylates the enzyme (4, 66). Recently, we reported that the COOH-terminal region of ATGL mediates LD binding and contains regions important for the regulation of enzyme activity (51). In the presence of the COOH-terminal protein region, the specific activity of ATGL is much lower than in its absence, suggesting an inhibitory effect of this region on hydrolase activity. This effect may be explained by the observed increased binding of CGI-58 to COOH-terminally truncated variants of ATGL compared with the full-length enzyme. However, the underlying mechanisms and the regulatory factors that are potentially involved are currently unknown.
Mutations in ATGL Cause NLSDM
In 2006, Fischer et al. (16) described three individuals from the Netherlands, France, and Algeria who were affected with NLSD and exhibited mutations in the ATGL gene. To date, a total of eight ATGL gene mutations (summarized in Table 2 and displayed in Fig. 2) were discovered by various laboratories (1, 6, 16, 23, 32). They include three single-nucleotide deletions, a dinucleotide deletion, and a deletion of four nucleotides. Additionally, a four-nucleotide duplication mutation and two single-nucleotide transversions have been reported. Besides one missense mutation (P195L), all known gene mutations result in premature stop codons due to translational frameshifts or nonsense mutations. True null mutations leading to the complete absence of ATGL have not been reported to date.
In addition to the shared features of systemic lipid accumulation and Jordans' anomaly, all patients were reported to suffer from muscle weakness and skeletal muscle myopathy; ichthyosis was not observed. Hepatomegaly was reported in some (6) but not all patients; instead, cardiomyopathy was common. In fact, cardiomyopathy was lethal in some patients or necessitated cardiac transplantation (23) (see below). Taken together, the clinical appearance of patients with ATGL gene mutations was consistent with the group of NLSD patients without ichthyosis as classified by Igal et al. (26). To differentiate between these groups of patients and their clinical appearance, Fischer et al. (16) suggested that NLSD that was caused by mutations in CGI-58 and was always associated with ichthyosis be designated NLSD with ichthyosis (NLSDI) and that NLSD that is caused by mutations in ATGL and associated with cardiac myopathy be designated NLSD with myopathy (NLSDM).
Interestingly, most ATGL mutations were detected in the COOH-terminal region of the patatin domain, leaving the proposed active site of the enzyme intact. To examine whether the mutated variants of the enzyme were still partially functional, our laboratory analyzed mutated ATGL from four patients originally reported by Fischer et al. (16). The single missense mutation at position 195 (P195L) led to the expression of an enzymatically inactive ATGL protein. LD binding or its interaction with CGI-58 was not affected. Unexpectedly, by use of artificial TG substrate in hydrolase assays in vitro, all COOH-terminal truncated ATGL proteins exhibited elevated enzyme activity compared with the full-length enzyme and were stimulated by CGI-58. However, the truncated enzyme variants were drastically impaired in their ability to bind to cellular LD in intact cells (51). Consistent with these findings, Kobayashi et al. (32) reported impaired LD binding of a truncated version of ATGL identified in a Japanese patient (premature stop codon at amino acid 318). Together, this suggested that the COOH-terminal protein region of ATGL contains the LD binding region as well as a regulatory unit that affects the hydrolase activity of the enzyme.
Importantly, Akiyama et al. (1) found a Japanese case of NLSDM that was caused by a duplication mutation (475dupCTCC), leading to a frameshift at amino acid 160 within the patatin domain. This genetic defect leads to a truncated ATGL that lacks 19 amino acids of the patatin domain, including the aspartic acid at position 166 (D-166), which is essential for catalytic activity. This patient developed severe myopathy at the age of 33 yr, together with massive LD accumulation in the sarcoplasm and leukocytes, as well as splenomegaly. Hepatomegaly or fatty liver was not observed. Since this mutation is very likely to result in a completely inactive enzyme, it seems likely that patients with complete ATGL deficiency may exist.
Comparing Phenotypes of NLSDI, NLSDM, and ATGL-Deficient Mice
As described above, mutations in the genes of CGI-58 and ATGL are associated with the development of NLSDI and NLSDM, respectively. Figure 3 displays an overview of the lipolytic pathway and the clinical manifestations associated with these diseases. Lipolysis is currently seen as a three-step, three-enzyme process. ATGL and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) are responsible for the first step in TG degradation generating FA and DG. ATGL hydrolytic activity largely depends on the presence of its activator protein CGI-58 (for review see Ref. 64). The formed DG is the preferred substrate for HSL, leading to the formation of FA and monoglycerides (MG). In the last step of lipolysis, MGL hydrolyzes MG to FA and glycerol. The metabolic intermediates provided by the consecutive actions of all three lipases provide energy substrate, precursors for membrane lipids, and bioactive lipid molecules that regulate cell signaling processes and gene transcription.
As CGI-58 and ATGL function in the same biochemical pathway, it is reasonable to assume that mutations in CGI-58 and in ATGL are associated with similar clinical phenotypes. Notably, however, the clinical phenotypes vary markedly between patients with CGI-58 deficiency (NLSDI) and ATGL deficiency (NLSDM) (summarized in Fig. 3). This suggests that our current understanding of the biochemical function of CGI-58 and/or ATGL is incomplete. The following section of the review discusses the similarities and differences in the clinical manifestations observed in patients suffering from NLSDI and NLSDM.
The fact that all patients with NLSDI carrying mutations in the gene for CGI-58 develop ichthyosis, whereas those suffering from NLSDM do not, supports the concept of an ATGL-independent function of CGI-58 in the skin and possibly in other cells and organs. As in humans, no skin defect is observed in mice lacking ATGL, arguing against the involvement of this enzyme in the development of ichthyosis. Unfortunately, the phenotype of CGI-58-deficient mice has not been reported so far. The nature of the ATGL-independent function of CGI-58 in the epidermis is currently unknown. Several scenarios are conceivable: 1) CGI-58 may participate in the synthesis pathway of glycerophospholipids (24), and 2) CGI-58 may activate other lipases including patatin domain-containing lipases that are structurally related to ATGL. For example, adiponutrin and GS2 were already shown to exhibit TG hydrolase activity (34), and GS2, which is also expressed in human skin, was shown to exhibit retinyl ester hydrolase activity (17).
Neurological disorders.
Neurosensory diseases and mental retardation are commonly seen in NLSDI but have not been observed in NLSDM. Similar to an independent role of CGI-58 in the development of ichthyosis, the clinical manifestation of neurosensory disturbances in NLSDI argues for an ATGL-independent function of CGI-58, presumably in brain-lipid homeostasis.
Liver disease.
More than 70% of NLSDI patients and about one-half of the NLSDM patients suffer from liver disease, hepatomegaly, or liver steatosis, suggesting a prominent role of both factors in hepatic lipid metabolism. Brown et al. (5) showed that siRNA-mediated knockdown of CGI-58 in liver cells leads to a reduced secretion of TG, suggesting that CGI-58 is important in hepatic lipoprotein biogenesis. ATGL deficiency in mice led to hepatosteatosis in fasted animals due to a reduction in liver TG hydrolase activity (20). Reid et al. (44) evaluated the effect of ATGL overexpression on TG and apoB secretion in murine liver cells. They found that ATGL-mediated liver TG hydrolysis does not correlate with increased lipoprotein secretion, suggesting that FA mobilized by ATGL are directed to β-oxidation rather than VLDL secretion.
Skeletal myopathy.
All patients with mutations in the ATGL gene reported so far show substantial TG accumulation in muscle associated with myopathy and muscle weakness. ATGL is specifically expressed in type I oxidative (slow-twitch) fibers of skeletal muscle (28), and it is believed that the lack of enzyme activity is responsible for the pronounced TG accumulation. Similarly, ATGL-deficient mice also exhibited severe accrual of fat as a result of decreased TG hydrolase activity in skeletal muscle (20). In rats, siRNA-mediated knockdown of ATGL in skeletal muscle reduced TG hydrolase activity and led to TG accumulation (57). Conversely, ATGL overexpression led to the accumulation of DG, the product of the ATGL reaction. Apparently, the endogenous HSL activity is not sufficient to hydrolyze these elevated levels of DG produced by overexpressed ATGL (57). A recent study reported by Alsted et al. (3) elucidated the role of ATGL in human skeletal muscle TG degradation during physical exercise. They found that inhibition of HSL in skeletal muscle led to a 42% reduction in total TG hydrolase activity and that the remaining activity is ATGL. Moreover, after endurance exercise training, intramuscular TG levels were decreased and ATGL protein content was increased. These findings, together with the observation that NLSDM patients suffer from myopathy, assign a pivotal role to ATGL in skeletal muscle lipolysis and in the provision of FA for energy production.
In addition to skeletal myopathy, ∼50% of all NLSDM patients suffer from severe cardiomyopathy, a phenotype that is not observed in NLSDI. Hirano et al. (23) reported a case with NLSDM exhibiting vacuoles in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes that stained positive for Oil red O and massively increased TG levels of the ventricles and the coronary arteries. Due to heart failure, the patient underwent cardiac transplantation. This observation is in accord with the phenotype seen in ATGL-deficient mice (20). The cardiac muscle of these animals accumulates large amounts of TG in cardiomyocytes, which leads to cardiac insufficiency and premature death starting at the age of 12 wk. Apparently, ATGL is indispensable for normal cardiac TG catabolism.
Despite the fact that both ATGL and CGI-58 are involved in lipolysis and highly expressed in adipose tissue, patients with NLSDI or NLSDM are not obese (26). In contrast, ATGL-deficient mice develop obesity as is evident from increased body weight and fat mass even when fed a normal chow diet (20). These species-specific differences may suggest that ATGL is less important as TG hydrolase in human adipose tissue than in murine adipose tissue. In murine white adipose tissue, ATGL and HSL are the major lipases responsible for more than 90% of the lipolytic capacity (52), but the relative contribution of these enzymes for TG catabolism in human adipose tissue remains unclear. Langin et al. (35) found a complete ablation of catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis and a 50% reduction in basal lipolysis in the presence of a specific HSL inhibitor. Consistent with these observations, a study by Ryden et al. (47), employing siRNA-mediated knockdown of ATGL in human fat, showed that ATGL deficiency decreased basal lipolysis but had no effect on catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis. Those authors concluded that ATGL contributes far less than HSL to human catecholamine-induced lipolysis (35, 47). In contrast, immunoprecipitation experiments by Steinberg et al. (55) revealed that the absence of ATGL results in a 70–80% decrease in total TG hydrolase activity, indicating that ATGL substantially contributes to TG hydrolysis. In conclusion, current data on the role of ATGL in human adipose lipolysis are controversial and need further study. The analysis of specific enzyme activities in biopsy samples obtained from patients with NLSDI and NLSDM may help clarify the tissue-specific roles of ATGL and HSL in human adipose tissue.
One third of the patients suffering from NLSDM also develop diabetes, suggesting an interesting connection between lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in these patients. In an attempt to investigate the nature and origin of diabetes in NLSDM, Kobayashi et al. (32) performed glucose loading tests and euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies in a patient with ATGL deficiency. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in the patient were normal, supporting the hypothesis that ectopic lipid accumulation does not induce insulin resistance. Interestingly, plasma insulin levels were significantly decreased, arguing for defective insulin secretion. Reduced insulin levels were also observed in ATGL-knockout mice, implying that ATGL is involved in the control of pancreatic insulin production (20). Fex et al. (14) reported that ATGL is expressed in murine pancreatic β-cells. It is conceivable that ATGL generates lipid metabolites such as long-chain FA and DG, which are potent signaling molecules for insulin secretion (8, 30). Thus, the diabetic state in NLSDM patients may represent type 1 rather than type 2 diabetes, which is characterized by insulin resistance and high insulin levels.
Taken together, the clinical phenotypes associated with ATGL and CGI-58 deficiency provide conclusive evidence for a crucial role of both proteins in human lipid metabolism. However, many aspects of ATGL and CGI-58 function are incompletely understood. These include the specific role of ATGL in human adipose lipolysis, its role in insulin secretion, and the specific ATGL-independent function of CGI-58 in the skin and other organs. Detailed characterization of NLSDM and NLSDI patients will provide a unique opportunity to improve our understanding of the role of these proteins in human lipid metabolism and in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases. This may eventually lead to improved treatment of patients affected with NLSDI or NLSDM.

As longevity increases it is only fair that costs are shared among the generations. Accordingly, the Government has decided to bring forward the increase in State Pension age to 66.
Although women will experience the rise in the State Pension age more quickly than previously planned, they will still draw the State Pension for longer, and our 'triple guarantee' means someone retiring today on a full basic State Pension will receive £15,000 more over their retirement than they would have done under the old prices link.
A timetable outlining the changes is available on Directgov http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/SpendingReview/DG_192159

Unanswered: OLE Image Zoom - Displays Differently on Server vs. Workstation
This one has me stumped.
I have a database in which the user can copy and paste images into an OLE Object field on a form.
Within the form, the Bound Object Frame properties 'Size Mode' is set to zoom.
-- All is good, and it works fine on the clients workstation. The picture (WMF) re-sizes and acts as it should.
Here's the kicker:
I have installed the exact database on a server on our network (same version of access and same service pack) and the picture (WMF) shows distorted and looks as if the 'Size Mode' Property is set to Stretch. I double checked the size mode properties and they are still set at 'Zoom'.
So, when I run Access on the Server (Windows Server 2003 Ent. SP1) the image is distorted, yet when I run Access on the Client (XP Pro 2002 SP2) the image is fine. (Same database, same Access, Different OS) .
Does anyone have a clue as to why this would happen or how to resolve this issue?
I have attached a side-by-side comparison of the issue.

I wonder how far upstream the Loire in navigable today?
C S Forester's Hornblower novel set during the Napoleonic Wars, Flying Colours (1938) does indeed use the River Loire as an important element throughout the novel. I hardly dare say too much about the role of the river since the story relies for its excitement on its plot and I am firmly against spoilers in reviews and criticism. Nantes also figures in the narrative and it may offer one spot for literary visitors to the city. Overall, though, despite the adventure story style, Forester's detailed observation of the river in its course does leave the imagination with a vivid sense of the differences and the power of the waters. In fact, his writing has some of the same effect that I felt when finally arriving on the banks of the Loire at Tours, please see my photographs in the post 'Loire Memoires'.
P.S. Thank you to Linda Lappin for drawing my attention to Virginia Woolf's (1928) 'Street Haunting' (Lappin 2015, 70). A facsimile copy is available at Woolf Online.

Wafer Rolls with Caramel Buttercream
Delicious sweet treats from our childhood : wafer rolls filled with caramel buttercream. Of course these same wafer rolls can be filled with any of your favorite buttercream or simple caramel condensed milk. To me regular caramel filling seems too sweet, that's why I decided to fill these with caramel buttercream instead.
For some reason these wafer rolls always remind me of winter, circus, New Years…
As a child , I remember having these wafer rolls almost every single time my parents take us to circus, and it always happened to be in Holiday season.
My childhood memories came over and made me introduce this recipe to all of you, around spring:)
Well, I'm sure it's always a good time to try these crispy, crunchy, cream filled goodies, we call wafer rolls ( трубочки)
Hope you enjoy my recipe, good luck!
For wafer rolls
You will need a flat iron wafer maker ( the same you'd use to make ice cream cones)
4 large ( or xlarge) eggs, at room temperature
½ cup sugar
½ cup heavy cream (or milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup flour
¼ tsp salt
For caramel buttercream
150 grams unsalted soft butter
1 can caramel condensed milk (dulce de leche), or simply cook regular condensed milk for 3 hours to turn it into thick caramel, make sure it's completely cooled when adding to butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Additionally you'll need 1 tbs confectioners sugar and 2 oz melted chocolate
To make the wafer rolls
In a bowl combine combine dry ingredients:flour, salt, baking powder and set aside
Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy
Add the cream,vanilla extract and dry ingredients
Mix for 1-2 minutes, wafer batter is ready
Preheat the wafer maker
Add about a tablespoon of batter and cook until bright golden color, may take 1-3 minutes, depending on your wafer maker
Immediately remove the ready, still soft wafer and roll , refer to YouTube tutorial for more details
To make the caramel buttercream
Beat the butter on high speed until pale and fluffy
Add vanilla extract, switch the mixer speed to low and start adding the caramel a tablespoon at a time
Using a piping bag fill the wafer rolls from both ends
Additionally you can drizzle wafer rolls with melted chocolate and lightly dust with confectioners sugar

Back in April, Governor Rick Snyder vowed to veto any stand-alone RFRA legislation in Michigan.
But since then, the Governor has signed into law a package of RFRA-style adoption bills that allow adoption and foster care agencies to discriminate against LGBT families under the guise of religious beliefs.
And now that the U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed the freedom to marry for loving and committed same-sex couples, you can be sure proponents of RFRA are as determined as ever.
Sign our petition and tell Governor Snyder: If the Michigan Legislature passes RFRA, stay true to your word and veto this shameful bill before it becomes law.

Driving north toward the cliffs.
Doolin Travel Blog› entry 4 of 4 › view all entries
Day four: Cliffs of Moher and Doolin
There was so much more we wanted to do in the Killarney area, like explore the Killarney National Park [which is the largest National Park in Ireland]. Or go explore the Dingle peninsula, but I had enough of driving in that fog, I was hoping we'd see less fog once we got away from the Kerry area. So time, money, and weather wouldn't allow us to stay any longer. The longer we stayed there the more money we'd spend in the long run and it was rainy and foggy still.
To save us time we used the Shannon Ferry system to cut across to the west coast area where the Cliffs of Moher are, instead of driving all the way to Limerick and so on.
I thought that October would be a good month to visit but everything was closed and empty. As we were driving we got hungry and decided to stop in the next town which was Killkee [I think] and we walked all across that town and could only find one restaurant that was still open. But I'm glad we stopped there because we met a local named, you guessed it, Patty. He stayed and talked our ears off until our soup arrived. He was very nice and was full of local knowledge.
After lunch we went off to find the Cliffs of Moher. I never realized just how small Ireland was until I actually drove in Ireland. It felt like everywhere you were you were just minutes away from your next place of interest. I loved it.
I had been worried about it being all wet and rainy but the sun came out as we were leaving Killkee, just in time for our walk around the cliffs.
I really liked the Cliffs even though we were slightly rushed [we thought we had a boat to catch, but it turned out we had our schedules mixed up]. This is where I planned to release my mother's ashes, she was a romantic, this was the perfect location I thought.
But…. I wasn't aware of the fact that you really can't get up to the cliffs edge anymore. For safety reasons they built a wall all along the path. I couldn't even reach my hand over the wall and release her ashes because the wall is dug into the ground so that the top of the wall is actually the top of the grassy hill. [Does that make sense!?] But I found a little corner at the top of the cliff where it was just a regular wood and barbed wire fence, which worked perfectly.
I really enjoyed watching the waves crash into the rocks and the water looked so blue.
We left and had to rush to the pier in Doolin because we thought we had a ferry to catch to go to the Aran Islands. But as we found out when we reached the pier there were no boats till the morning. So we watched the sunset and watched the gigantic waves crashing on to the rocks on the pier before searching for a vacant hostel bed. [Seeing how empty places were we were pretty comfortable knowing we'd find some place].
We knocked on the door at the Rainbow Hostel and they had plenty of beds available, they even gave us a private room.
It was so cozy, I really recommend this hostel to anyone who is visiting! The main common room out front had a peat burning stove [I will forever be reminded of Ireland whenever I smell peat burning, it gave Ireland a specific smell, it was new to me.
We FINALLY got a taste of the Irish pub life! We walked to one pub [the name escapes me] and ate dinner there and drank a bit while listening to the local musicians play. We met a local by the name of Michael and he smoked and drank with us. After a couple of pints we walked over the bridge toward McDermott's and met a bunch of locals there. We sat at the bar and joked with the bartender, and the people sitting beside us. There was a musician singing in the background, but I was preoccupied with talking to actually listen, but he sounded good from what I can remember. While there we met a few other people who were staying at the same hostel as we were. When the pub closed they let us hang out longer and finish our beers. Then we walked back to our place and stayed up talking in the front room. It was a great way to spend the evening!

The world is full of loud voices constantly coming at us from advertising, media, bosses, colleagues, friends and family, all compelling us to live the life they want us to live. What happens when we allow those voices to direct our choices?
Whether we're conscious of it or not, we start living an appearance-directed, approval-directed, relationship-directed, success-directed life. But living an externally-directed life leaves us hungry for something deeper, truer, more substantial. We sense it's time to listen to the only Voice that matters–the Voice bubbling up from our own souls.
Your soul sprang from divine ground and will return to divine ground. It's wise. It's gentle. It's loving. And it is unafraid. Humanly, we easily become afraid, so we scramble to find things that can make us feel safe. But real security comes only from connection to Source. This is the one nonnegotiable for the soul. That's why "to connect with Source" is first in the list of five things the soul wants.
There are many ways to connect with the Divine, but none as easy and clear as writing at the soul level. But don't confuse soul writing with journaling. Writing Down Your Soul may be #1 in the journal-writing category on Amazon, but it's not journaling!.
When you write at the soul level, four things happen that do not happen in traditional journaling:
- Exit conscious mind
- Enter the theta brain wave state where you have access to real creativity and breakthrough thinking
- Get in touch with your authentic self, your soul
- Activate limitless wisdom, guidance, and grace
During an intense trauma, I stumbled upon this easy simple way to hear the Voice within. Now, it is my great joy to share it with you. I invite you to begin a life-long, loving relationship with your own internal Voice of wisdom, guidance, and grace.
In Writing Down Your Soul you will:
- learn the difference between journaling and soul writing
- set up an effective deep soul writing practice
- learn how to access the all-important theta brain wave state
- discover how science substantiates the benefits of soul writing
- activate your spiritual ear
- learn four questions that do not work and five categories that do
- recognize the guidance of the Voice on and off the page
- discern your Voice's personal signature and name
- collect evidence of the living presence of the Voice in your life
As a member of the course you will receive:
- Six 2-hour LIVE tele-classes with Janet Conner
- mp3 recordings of all sessions
- Thirty-Day Guide to Writing Down Your Soul PDF ($30 value)
- Seven Steps to Get Into Theta streaming video ($50 value)
- membership in private Facebook discussion group
- weekly pre- and post-class emails
- Information and stories that are not in the book
Our Schedule
Writing Down Your Soul meets on Tuesdays for six 2-hour sessions January 23 through February 24. All sessions are recorded, so don't worry about missing some or all of the sessions due to time zone or schedule. You can be an active presence in the course by sending Janet your stories and questions and by participating in our private Facebook discussion group.

You will receive a link to the recording as soon as it is available after each session.

"Age is a matter of mind, if you don't mind – it doesn't matter!" Barbara Latto
This web site is the result of my own 80 tumultuous years. I want you to laugh, cry, connect with others, be inspired and coaxed out of who you think you ought to be into the fun and fulfillment of happily being who you are. The Conversations page is a blog full of news, articles, poetry and contributions from others that have touched my heart and my mind. It is for you – to say whatever you want to say, and to comment on what is being written there. This page is the 'engine' of the whole site.
Occasionally, I will be sharing my own articles about life, about spirit, about the joy and sadness that we all share. You can ask questions, link with other like-minded sites and check on my other professional work. You can watch a video of my interview on Conscious.tv if you care to. There is also a video of an interview with Dominique Sire, part 1 made in Santa Fe, USA. that is directed to part 2!
My hope for this site is that it can become a source of support for anyone, of any age on their own journey of personal discovery. Also, that the wide reaching approach provides information, contact and inspiration. If you wish, you can keep up-to-date with recent news and postings through my free newsletter, by filling in the form at the top right hand corner of any page on this site.

Truly awful baby names. When Choosing a name for your baby steer clear of these stinkers
This is an opinion hub. It wasn't researched or written to be factual. If you don't have a sense of humor STOP READING NOW!
Bad Baby Names
If ever a hub needed to be written it is this one. An unspeakable crime is being committed against innocent children all over the nation each and every day and it's time someone expose this shameful parental practice. I'm talking about a crime so heinous it has long lasting, negative effects on the children who are forced to participate in this miscarriage of justice.
The crime is: BAD BABY NAMES
After surveying hundreds of individuals on Hubpages, Facebook, Twitter and through my personal blog www.mikicagle.blogspot.com (how's that for shameful promotion?) I have compiled a list of the worst children's names of all time.
Worst Girls Names
- Electra: There is a preschool student at my elementary school who's parents actually named her Electra. Yes, that's right, I said ELECTRA. Unfortunately for her with a name like Electra she will only have two career choices when she grows up: stripper or superhero and quite honestly she can't fly and I don't think that she's able to shoot laser beams from her fingers or stop a speeding bullet.
- Germajesty: Once again a little girl in one of the schools I worked at was gifted with this name. I think that its' meaning is "Queen of Bacteria".
- Tergent: Tergent was born unexpectedly 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I believe that after her daughter was born this mother was already thinking about the laundry that needed to be done and the fact that she needed to pick up laundry products on her way home from the hospital.
- Chlamydia-Now I really want to believe that no parent would ever give their child this name but I had two people swear they knew someone who did.
- Farten-Jeannieinabottle supplied this name and emphasised that it is pronounced phonetically. She feels that while it may be a beautiful name in another language it definitely isn't in English. I have to agree.
- Lady MJ was kind enough to supply a long list of names including: Moxie Crimefighter, Facebook, Ever Gabo, To Morrow, Poppy Honey, Audio Science, Diva Muffin and my favorite Sylvester Stallone's offspring Sage Moonblood.

Worst Boy Names
- Dick Trickle: Sorry-I think that this former NASCAR driver's name is one of the worst names that I have ever heard. Why in the world didn't he call himself Richard, Rich, or Rick-anything but Dick.
- Young Boozer: Mr. Boozer is a native of the great state of Alabama. He grew up in Tuscaloosa and is currently running for State Treasurer. Young named his son Young Boozer too (get it Young Boozer 2?).
- Damien: This is such an obviously bad choice I can't believe that parents still even consider this name for their child. Remember the movie the Omen and the dastardly little devil named Damien who was THE SON OF SATAN? As a teacher I have seen several children who have been cursed with this name and ALL of them have had behavior issues, it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
- Blanket: Thank you Daffy Duck for reminding me of the absolutely stupid name Michael Jackson gave his youngest son. I can just imagine what other creative names he may have gifted future children with if he had lived: Pillow, Sheets, Throw Rug, Dust Ruffle, Curtain, Vacuum Cleaner, Socks, Soap, Shoe Box, Sofa, Bucket-the list is endless.
- Simon- I am really, really sorry for saying this but I am not very fond of a relative's choice when naming his new son. The name Simon conjers up visions of a squeaky, singing, mouse in my head. I hope little Simon doesn't have any siblings with the names Theodore or Alvin in the future. My husband is betting he will have a little brother named Garfunkel-we'll just have to wait and see.
Short List
Well that's my short list of truly awful baby names. I am sure that you have a list of your own stinker names so please feel free to share, I'd love to hear them.
I find your reason for Damian to be highly insulting. Basing it solely on the premise of a Hollywood movie is redoculous and that you as a teacher basing it on the few children whose names were a certsin name is absorb. The name Damian means to tame. And there are two Saints named Damian/Damien. The first being the Saint of surgeons and doctors for his acts as a physician who never took money from his patients. It is a highly reputable name that you have degrated all because of a movie. What is next Carry or Jason are going to be on the list because they're depicted as psycho killers.
I don't like it when parents give their children an animal or food name. Like Gwenyth Paltrow's daughter Apple and Nicole Richie's son Sparrow. How embarrasing for the children! I think it's giving the child a bad start in life when you call them something which you know is going to make them seem unusual before they even develop. Maybe they think they're making their child seem special by having an odd name, but they're just making their children seem odd to the rest of society. Why would you do that to your own child? Attention seeking maybe?
I loved reading the comments on your Hub as much as reading it too! Hahaha!
Does it get any worse than Luna Malice?..Unfortunately that is the name given to my precious grand daughter by her "less than caring what impact it would have on the child " mother. And she is the most gorgeous child too. Luna I can deal with,when forced to, but her mom prefers to call her Malice. ( Look up Malice - it means the intent to harm)!
When asked her name I avoid the stares and comments and call her Luna Malease. I know that is wrong, but she does not deserve such a tasteless name. I can only imagine the ridicule she will face in school, job applications etc. She is 2 years old now, and very shy. Her name won't help that either! My name is Freda- I got more than my share of comments when I was in school, So I feel her pain!
I met a poor young kid named Xero. Now that's setting him up for success in life.......
We had an assistant principal when I was in junior high whose name was Leonard Krapp. Guess what his wife's name was? Lotta Krapp! (Absolutely true!)
You now have 3 people who can swear to knowing someone who named their kid "Chlamydia." Unbelievable but true. Also, I had a friend in college named Polly Ester and I know a pilot for American Eagle Airlines named Captain Dick Mann...hilarious guy, BTW.
Oh, and my father knew a Colon and Rectal surgeon named Dr. Butts...this is true...look him up. He is in Houston, TX.
I once knew a girl named Sommer Thyme. That should be added to your fabulous list.
I have just read your poorly researched and rather spiteful hub; not because it was recommended for its quality, but because I was advised that it would be so vitriolic.
I agree with so many people and their comments, but first of all, what is the matter with you. A poor classical education, perhaps? Or a rather narrow: "Only Anglo Saxon names will do? How dare these foreigners have names that don't conform to Janet and John types?"
Electra – look her up. You may be surprised.
Damien - a lovely name, with only the connotations you have seen because you seem to associate names with movies. That's a bit pathetic, isn't it?
Simon – one of the twelve Disciples of Jesus Christ. Look him up in the Bible. Oh Yes! Simon called Peter… Peter wasn't a name, it was a nickname. Simon the Rock.
I completely agree with lsoutullo, and wonder why you were so rude to her.
CamberleyLane'e was well within her rights to have an opinion, but your "I absolutely believe that in my own opinion the names Simon and Damien are terrible. If you are of the opinion that bad name lists are so ridiculous-why did you read this hub? Why would you waste your time?" was unnecessarily harsh, but I feel you don't like anybody having opinions other than your own.
kallini2010 's response of: "Everything is arbitrary. I like Electra and I see nothing wrong with Simon or Damien." Fits in exactly with my opinions, but I feel that you would have some objection to that.
I am not in the habit of making negative comments on hubs, but I feel that your rudeness deserves all you are getting.
i knew a man once whose name was ICCABOD CRUDUP. i thouhgt that was bad ,so the called him I.C.
We looked at your hub because we thought it would have some common sense but it seems not. Just the thoughts of someone that watches too much tv and associates names by fictional characters. I thought there would be names like colgate (i've seen that name). You know, names people make up not names that are of beauty and love. I guess you are right we should look better on who's hubs we read. After reading your mean comebacks I will reconsider future reading.
Oh, you are welcome, it is my pleasure. I am writing my own article and with your permission I will include the link to your article so the traffic will increase even more.
Names can be changed. Did it ever occur to you? Maybe the one who got the name should be the one making the final decision? And then be prepared to fight for his name. I know I can do both. Change my name or stand up for my name. Stupidity is hard to define, how stupid a stupid name can be? How awful?
In Australia I heard about a made-up type name and that is Strachel which called over a back fence at dusk in an aussi accent is just not very attractive.....I think Strachel's mother just couldn't make up her mind between Rachel and Stacey so the poor little girl got a mixture!!!
Curiously, I also wrote a hub about names, but not specifically bad names, but only about those that sound bad or funny in other languages. A person might have an ordinary name in his language, but when he visits another country he'll get teasing about his name.
I can agree with you, that some names are really awful (like, Chlamydia). Others are just openly stupid (Young Boozer, Blanket). However, some names just seem bad by, as Kallini mentioned, by your association with an image. I personally consider Simon as a very beautiful name, it derives from ancient name Shimon (one of Israeli tribes). At the same time, a person born in Russia, who was named by the Russian version of this name (Semen) should better change its form to Simon or Shimon, because of weird association.....
Nothing stinks for children. It is the adults who teach children what stinks and what does not.
More often than not a "stupid" name is rare name, it takes time to get used to. Some are questionable, but maybe we should be more tolerant.
Besides what children?
All generalizations are wrong. Including this one.
I love this anecdote:
" -- Everybody hates me.
-- Everybody has not met you yet."
Do you like name Daniel, by the way? Or Katherine?
How about some of the creative screen names people pick for themselves. Unbelievable. Great Hub.
Great hub!
So because you dislike Simon and Damien they are automatically horrible names?
A. Damien means "sweet and harmless."
B. Simon means "it is heard."
Yeah, those are terrible...If you're going to come up with an awful names list, at least have the sense to leave out traditional names that have been around for years. This is why bad name lists are so ridiculous. Everyone has their own opinion, and these posts can be incredibly offensive when you post the name of someone's son or daughter.
Everything is arbitrary. I like Electra and I see nothing wrong with Simon or Damien.
Associations are very personal. But if you will let other people push you in the direction THEY want, you will never be able to make your own choices. There will always be someone disliking and disapproving your choices.
When I was a child, I HATED name YULIA (Julia). Why? Because the only Yulia in our class was fat and not only fat, jelly-like-fat and she loved to run - I could not see that jellio-moving scene, I felt so nauseous. But the name? What it had to do with the girl? Nothing, it was my personal association, I know other Yulias now.
The second Yulia to come to our class became a ballerina in New York. But I will never call my child Yulia.
However, to say that it is an awful name only because of MY Associations? It is going too far....
There were all bad names but really "Damien" as a bad name. Apparently there is something wrong with you and no I don't have a boy named Damien but it is a beautiful name and a movie should never define a name. Look up Damien Rice, wonderful musician!
Damian \d(a)-mian\ as a boy's name (also used as girl's name Damian), is pronounced DAY-mee-en. It is of Greek origin. Possibly means "to tame, subdue", though the Greek root is also close to the word for "spirit". The Belgian priest Father Damien is honored as the man who gave his life helping the lepers of Molokai in Hawaii. Saint Damien (third century) is known as the patron saint of physicians. Demyan is the Russian form. Author Damon Runyon; ballet dancer Damien Woetzel.
get your facts straight
I would venture to say that Princewill is one of the worst names I've ever seen for a person.
I am not very fond of any TWO PART names. Like Mary Jay also pretty much any name beginning with Bri or Bre hahaha.
Great Hub!
Great stuff...and I thought Apple was bad...
Very good. Especially the girls' names (but don't be too critical of Electra until you find out for sure her career destiny - she might bear a grudge and deposit you on the moon). In Thailand I know of someone called Pong, and Porn is quite common I believe - quite reasonable names in that part of the world.
How awful. I wish that people would spend more time thinking about how they would feel if they had any of these names before they inflicted their children with the burden.
I am from Alabama and just seeing Young Boozer on a ballot made me laugh!
I have one, it is pronounced She-thead however it when spelled out you put it together replace the "e" with an "i". Now that is an awful name!
LOL I noticed that - I replied to it and voila it had disappeared - check to see if you accidently moderated it!
*grin* to be honest - it doesn't bother me - your quote about 'butts' is the perfect one! It was just 'sticker' shock for me to see my own little name at the bottom!!!!
Sorry - that's it - voted down, unuseful, unfunny, unawesome, unbeautiful and un-shared on facebook....*grin* - what's wrong with Simon - I think it's a realllllly cool name! LOL As for names - I know a one year old called 'Grave Bladeus' - makes Simon look pretty normal!
Hahaa, some of these are priceless!!! I suppose I'm forewarned... though I rather like the idea of naming a kid Damien. But I've already settled on Atticus. Have been for nearly ten years now! Not that I shall be producing spawn...
How strange, perhaps it is the Hubpage goblin up to his evil tricks again LOL. Anyway, thanks for approving both of my comments now :) I thought I had upset you in some way before as it showed up in my Hubtivity as an 'unapproved comment'.
How very odd, my comment made last night was unapproved by you, (was it an accident?). It is just I said what a good hub this was and said I found the name you listed as the first one on the boys names, (the NASCAR Racing Driver one) the funniest, (only I quoted the name in my post). Did I do something wrong? :(
LOL big time, especially on the 'Dick Trickle' name. Such a funny hub and so many great examples of awful baby names. Brilliant :D
It's funny how you put it !
Let common sense rule the day.

State-owned cement maker PT Semen Gresik said it will start increasing its production capacity by up to 700,000t next year to meet growing demand in the country.
Demand for cement has increased in the country especially outside Java, company President Dwi Soetjipto said, predicting the company would overshoot its sales target of 17.1Mt this year.
Dwi said the company might have to reduce exports to increase supply on the domestic market.
Meanwhile, preparation is progressing for the construction of new factories that are expected to come to reality in the next three years, he said.

About Me
Accept the challenge!
I'm a very open-minded, honest, reliable and fun-loving person who likes nothing more than travelling.
I love meeting new people and getting to know different cultures.
After my graduation from school (Abitur)in 2004 I went to the USA and worked there as an Au Pair in an amazing, multicultural family (my hostmum was from Sri Lanka and hostday from Norway). That was the best year of my live so far, I got to know so many people and got to do so much travelling..it was simply amazing, an adventure.
In June 2009 I passed successfully my final exams and now my studies are finished....Yeah! The second part of studies (teacher training) will start in February 2010. I've attended the University of Education in Karlsruhe, Germany. My goal is the become a Primary and Secondary school teacher because I love teaching very much and I think I can contribute to making this world a little bit better.
After passing my exams in June I went to Killarney, Ireland and I worked there in the Killarney International Youth Hostel for a few months. The cool thing is that I didn't have to go back to Germany until February that meant I got a lot of time (but sadly no money) but Couchsurfing shows me that one can do a lot of things without having much money. And moreover it's a fantastic to meet no people and make friends.
On October 6th 2009 I flew to the US and spent there a wonderful time travelling from NYC to LA by Greyhound.
My ultimate dream is to travel around the world on a motorbike (Yes, of course I've watched "A long way round").
You can always talk to me about MOVIES, BOOKS and TRAVELLING. If you start on one of these topics it will be very difficult to stop me talking. ;-)
Catherine WalzerCreate Your Badge
I don't think travelling is just hobby - it's a life philosophy.
There are so many places I want to see in my life and I won't rest until I have seen them all.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I had my first Couchsurfing experience when I surfed with Michele in Dublin and it was fantastic!! We also went to a Couchsurfing party, where I met other couchsurfers. It was soooo much fun!!! I can't wait to couchsurf in the United States.

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm pretty good with computers and technical stuff therefore I help whoever needs any help with that.
Moreover I like teaching English and German to people who need help with it.
I enjoy reading and interpreting novels and stories of all kind. One of my dreams would be to launch a book club where we could meet every week and discuss literature.

It's nothing new to most of you, the "Push present"…well our labor of love the past 2 weeks has been to help brand new daddy with a gift that was kind, thoughtful and representative of the moment…not just another piece of jewelry "because you are supposed to".
We started with a delicate cable chain so that it could disappear in the background of the three stones, a rich red mozambique garnet for baby lovingly cuddled by a diamond on each side, representing both mommy and daddy. We hand carved a free form seat to gently drop the stones into and allowed a very thin mock bezel to mostly hold the stones in place, leaving the metal worn and satined for natural age. Gently fastened the chain to a tiny bail on either side of the pendant to allow for the perfect seamless piece. This piece was handcrafted with careful consideration for each detail to be timeless and lived in; and gifted with love. We enjoyed every single moment, and love the legacy our footprints leave behind. If you are going to gift, gift thoughtfully and whole heartedly. Oh, and come to us!!!!! 😉
Congratulations Chad and Wendy Wilhelm, and welcome to the world baby Oakes! Thank you for letting us be a part of your incredible journey. Blessings over your new family and a little extra sleep too 🙂Back to Blog

Manila, NY Philippines (PressExposure) December 05, 2007 -- Have you ever tasted the unique Red Ribbon Cake that Red Ribbon Bakery bakes? If not, then youâre missing one of the most blissful experiences when eating. The Red Ribbon Bakery has been serving us with their unique Red Ribbon Cake for as much as we remember, but what kind of history does the Red Ribbon Bakery holds?
It was is the year of 1979 that a bakeshop called the Red Ribbon Bakery has first opened its door to the public in a place called Timog Avenue in Quezon City, serving their one of a kind Red Ribbon Cake.
In time, people noticed the light and moist heavenly texture and taste that the Red Ribbon Bakery makes their Red Ribbon Cake, in which was the reason why the Red Ribbon Bakery stood out from what was available at the leading bakeshop then.
But aside from opening a Red Ribbon Bakery here in the Philippines, Red Ribbon Bakery also opened their first US Red Ribbon Bakery in West Covina, California, serving their first ever Red Ribbon Cake to foreigners.
And today, there are more than 80 Red Ribbon Bakery branches all over the Philippines, serving its unique Red Ribbon Cake to all Filipinos across the Philippines. Red Ribbon Bakery is one of the most famous bakeshop in the Philippines providing Filipinos with its one of a kind Red Ribbon Cake; this is why eLBC has thought of a way for Filipinos abroad to send authentic Red Ribbon Cake from Red Ribbon Bakery to their families and loved ones in the Philippines, the Express Regalo.
The Express Regalo is an online gift shop that provides a way for Filipinos abroad to send any gift to their loved ones back home, such as the Red Ribbon Cake from Red Ribbon Bakery. If you want more information on how to send some authentic Red Ribbon Cake from Red Ribbon Bakery then visit, http://www.expressregalo.com.

David Goyer, the second guy to head ABC's new show FlashForward, is also stepping down from head boss duties. Seems his schedule has become a lot busier now that he's got more movies to write. Could one of these movies possibly be...Batman 3?
Nikki Finke reports that Goyer is busy writing the third Batman film, though it seems like she's going off a more general statement he's made about his feature-writing career:
...showrunner David Goyer has left with five episodes still to shoot. Of course, Goyer's feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins, and penned the story for The Dark Knight, and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan's brother Jonah. ("As my feature projects have started ramping up again, I felt I was being pulled in too many directions," Goyer said in a statement. "I'm proud of the show and excited about the relaunch. It's in great hands.")
As far as FlashForward getting ditched by another showrunner, this doesn't seem like shocking news. The show was clearly stupid right from the get-go and has only gotten worse. But as far as Goyer's screenwriting career goes, we don't have a whole lot of information about where the third Batman is, script-wise. Until we hear something from his or Christopher Nolan's mouth it's going to be hard to know just where along in the process they are, or if they're in any stage of the process.
If this is true, and Nolan and Goyer are knee-deep in the third Batman, then that's great news. It seemed for a long time like Nolan was interested in anything other than doing the next sequel, so it's good to hear one of the main guys on the script writing team being referenced to this movie.
