Wow. Need an image for your blog/site? Getty, the world's largest photo service, is now 'free'. For embeds, anyway. http://buff.ly/1h5nqe7
Like this!
Or this!
Get your thinking hats on – each of these images would normally cost $65.

In preparing this story on couriermail.com.au, BlackBerry seizure an 'abuse of police powers', I asked my followers on Twitter if anyone knew the law regarding what can or can not be photographed in Australia. I received a lot of feedback and links, and am posting them here in case they prove useful to others. Let it be known I am not a lawyer, nor an expert in the laws governing this topic. This is just a collection of interesting links, perhaps useful, but by no means comprehensive. Read more
It pays to be with iStockphoto
May 9, 2008 by Dave Earley
Filed under Online, Pictures
I've just logged into my iStockphoto account for the first time in over six months, and am mildly surprised to see I have earned some money.
I only have three images available for purchase in my portfolio there. Admittedly they've been there for quite a long time but I wonder if the hit rate is because of good keywords, because there are a large number of purchases comparative to views on one of the photos.
One of the images has been purchased by one out of every five people who have viewed it in the last 18 months, while the other has only seen 1% of viewers purchasing.
In the case of the second image, the higher number of views could be a result of more keywords associated with the image, and therefore less specialised searching allowing people with too many interests to view the image. In the first example, a specific few keywords means only people who want that kind of image are seeing it.
Anyway, I thought it interesting that so few photos added to iStockphoto are still giving some sort of a 'return', no matter how small.

It's still pictures and audio, but it's compelling.
John Moore, a photographer who was snapping pics just metres from Benazir Bhutto's motorcade when she was killed, talks about the rally and that day.

Audio with random photos overlaid is not great. A slideshow with managed photo placement to associated narration is great. For a newsroom that thinks they can't afford video (they can), well produced audio slideshows are a good way to make your readers more open to the future introduction of video content.

In my lecture on European Political Issues, the lecturer put up this image by Turkish artist Burak Delier, and then asked 12 people to describe the image using no more than three words.
After the first volunteer had to have it pointed out that "racist, terrorism, Muslim" was probably not the vibe the Turkish artist was going for, we were subjected to a bit of long-windedness. Terms like disestablishmentarianism, and supercalafraj – okay, they weren't thrown about, but everyone was trying for those big, impressive words.
My favourite was 'bandaid assimilation'. My favourite that is, apart from my own bit of three word self-congratulation.
Where the veil?
Unfortunately, I knew both the levels would be lost and my brilliance not recognised simply by saying the words, but neither could I write it out for people. Not surprisingly, "Where, that's W-H, where the veil. Question mark", also lost them.

Quite a while ago I applied to become a photo contributor at istockphoto.com, and I completed that application last week.
Of the six or seven photos I've submitted so far, three have been accepted, which means I have started to build a portfolio of photos there.
These are royalty free stock photos, at very reasonable prices. Have a look at my portfolio of photos, such as it is right now, and hopefully there will be much more there in the future.

We bought a cheap vacuum that I have occasion to use on a semi-regular basis around the house. Despite having recently done a bit of vacuuming with it, on borrowing my parent's long-serving Amway vacuum cleaner, the difference was marked.
One vacuum cleaner sucks, evidenced by the amount of dust collected in this before and after shot. I would guess at several litres of the stuff.
The other sucks not so much – or at least it didn't suck those several litres picked up by the first.

This post has been a long time coming (six months!).
Kate offered to do 'snacks' for a weekend youth camp that we otherwise weren't involved with, or attending.
We were required to provide much more food than we had initially expected, and stayed up till 1.30am finishing the cook-a-thon. This is a brief story, in pictures, of that evening.
Click here to see the full gallery, with mostly the same pictures.
The tools were ready.
The ingredients were ready.
And Ariel was getting worried about what exactly was going on.
Once we got into it there was quality melting chocolate,
and cheap melting chocolate that just looks wrong, but otherwise was great.
Once the melting had been done,
the ingredients mixed,
and cookies ready to bake,
there were beaters, spoons, and bowls aplenty to be "cleaned". Mmmmm.
It was all a bit rich though, so some anti-sweeteners were required. Milk and pear had to suffice.
One scoop for the mix, one scoop for Dave. One scoop for the mix, one scoop for Dave.
Jam-drops (pre-cooked), fudge, and chocolate coconut slice were all there too.
The caramel slice needed a base, some caramel, and chocolate over the top!
But it just wouldn't set in the fridge, ending up in disaster. Oh well, two caramel slices that had to be eaten with a spoon. I wouldn't recommend it.
Of course, there's always washing up to do to end the whole process.

Comments Off on My White Ribbon
As part of the campaign to stop violence against women, mentioned in the last post, you can wear a white ribbon. This is mine.
Today is also the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
As this post is published, I will be wearing the ribbon while we are out watching Pirates of Penzance, although while wearing some more appropriate clothing for the occassion. I suppose we're going to the opera, since it's presented by Opera Australia, although I'm sure it would be classified as a musical.
I may write a review of the show if I find the time in my schedule, busy as it is in this post-exam period.

I am a fairly short person, about 175cm (5'8″) if I'm lucky. My family is short. We are a vertically challenged, stocky, German peasant sort of people. My wife is also short so, unless we get a genetic mutation, our offspring are likely to carry on being short. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Jockeys are always in demand, and the low center of gravity makes short people harder to knock over, particularly if they're stocky. Which I am.
As vertically challenged people, it can be difficult to find pants that fit to length. Generally in Australia pants are bought on waist size only, unlike in the US where you can choose both waist and leg measurements. This has particularly been a problem for me recently when buying new jeans that are so long as to almost trip me up.
Buying my last pair of jeans was an adventure in itself – at least for the store assistants pictured above – since the last pair my size had to be removed from the mannequin.
Note Exhibit A: a pair of jeans flowing well past my heel, and half way around my foot. Flares may be making a comeback, but I think this is taking it a little too far. So what can be done? Dry-cleaners offer a hemming service, but $15-$20? I think not!
When we were married Kate's mum gave us an old Singer sewing machine. It sat unused until recently, when I decided something had to be done once and for all about my jean predicament. Note that since about the age of 14 while living at home I had to wash and iron my own clothes, as well as sew my own buttons back on. Yes, a modern day Oliver Twist, if you will.
And so I searched hither and dither on the internet for instructions on how to hem jeans. I seemed to have hit the jackpot at one forum where they talked of the hem tutorial to end all hem tutorials. But, alas, they noted the link had been taken down, and so the search continued.
Never fear, Fig and Plum referenced the very same tutorial (obviously it was a good one), but had also saved the Word document! (DaciaRay.com also created a tutorial with pictures although the following tutorial is the one I used. And so, here, I present to you the document "Hemming Jeans Like a Pro". You can also get it as a PDF if you prefer, although the file size is much bigger.
Hemming Jeans Like a Pro.doc (0.2mb)
Hemming Jeans Like a Pro.pdf (2.1mb)
And so, having followed the instructions as best I could, you can see the results for yourselves.
Exhibit B: hemmed jeans, well-hemmed, if I say so myself.
Return next week for Home Economics 101, as I present to you, cooking with Dave. Or more accurately, cooking with Kate, with pictures and taste-testing by Dave.

- how I'm not looking forward to getting it back.
But enough of that, I just wanted to put together a really short video to put it online quickly. It still took a long time to upload on my dialup even though it's only 44 seconds long.

Comments Off on Stormy the Weather Dog
Editors often say they aren't directly pressured by the media outlet's owner about what stance should be taken on particular issues, but of course they'd say that. Here's one example of the General Manager maybe just going a bit too far.
It's Stormy the Weather Dog on CBS19, The Eye of East Texas. That's right, Stormy. The Weather Dog.
It's a heartwarming tale of poor puppy at Humane Society shelter rescued by the station's General Manager. Now he takes pride of place alongside all the other anchors. It was the GM himself who came up with the brilliant idea of putting little Stormy on the weather team! He'll begin appearing with Chief Meteorologist Doc Deason on November 3rd.
I imagine the conversation would have gone something like this:
GM: Weather dude! Because I consider you such a valuable member of my team, I'm assigning my pet dog to work with you. Follow his lead. Haha! Get it?
Chief Meteorologist: HA! HA! HA! HA-HA! That is immeasurably funny! Thank you sir. This is the most excellent plan I have ever had the pleasure of being subjected to. I look forward to working with your lap-dog. And, oh, his picture right next to mine on the website? Oh I get it, because we're equals…*sob*.
Keep your eye out for Stormy's appearance.
If the weather dog is wearing a sweater viewers will know they are in store for a cool weather forecast. If Stormy is dressed in a parka, those tuning in will know it is time to bundle up.
I bet everyone's thanking their GM for this one. This is CBS19, The Butt of East Texas Jokes.

Electric outages are happening everywhere in our city and they run for about 2 hours in a row everyday! Screw the government and the upcoming elections, it's clearly the one behind all this shit. But, what does it matter anyways? I've resolved to only focus on the beautiful things in life. Say for example the magnificently sexy women of this site called JAV HD. In case you haven't been through the site and now contemplating on as to whether or not you should go with a membership for it, well, let me discuss the site about to you through this review. And, you should know why it would be worth every penny.
It's all about sex, just like any other porn source out there. But, it has its own niceties so as to make it different than its peers in the market. In other words, its common ground with other porn sites is only the fact that they all serve nudity video recordings, movies and scoops. Apart from that, everything else is different with this site. All the cherries are purely handpicked and only those that the creators and staff deem exceptional to the eye of the mass are exhibited through the site. Another wonderful thing here is that they actually workshop all the models, actors and actresses first before they actually shoot movies and short clips of them. JAV HD lives by the principle on how proper reiteration and training can lead to perfection. After all, porn is an art.
What Do You Get with JAV HD?
Before anything else, you have to become an official JAVHD member first. The awesome thing is that it only takes 19.95 dollars to get a month of full blown subscription. With that, you will be able to enjoy 3364 HD videos that range from busty blondes, lecherous Latinas, blowjob addicts, and of course the specials from your all-time favorites Brandi Love, Sophie Morales, Caprice and other women worshiped as the goddesses of porn. There are also awesome picture sets to top that all off.
In Conclusion
With the commensurate of the HD videos, the count and the pricing, it comes to no question that JAV HD is an exceptional porn site.

Hello Kitty restaurant is terribly cute and its food is just terrible
By Nicole Pang, Special to CNN • Updated 19th December 2012
Hello Kitty fans might be the world's most spoiled travelers as the tourism industry seems determined to build a complete service chain out of that five-apple-tall bobtail cat.
Taiwan's Eva Air flies a fleet of five
Hello Kitty airplanes
. Dubai houses a posh
Hello Kitty spa
. Anji, a county some 220 kilometers southwest of Shanghai, is building a $200 million
Hello Kitty theme park
(scheduled to open in 2014).
And in Beijing, a Hello Kitty-themed restaurant is creating a lot of buzz.
'Couples come here to propose'
Located in an upmarket shopping mall in Sanlitun,
Hello Kitty Dreams
opened its doors to much fanfare in December last year.
The cutesy brand has been co-opted by EVA Airways to try and attract new fliers from a growing Chinese market.
According to the restaurant's staff, the Sanrio-licensed business is the first Hello Kitty-themed restaurant in Asia.
"When we first opened you had to book days in advance," says restaurant manager Ted Chen. "We were packed from when we opened at 11 a.m. everyday."
7 places to find gratitude and serenity
Couples make up a large part of the restaurant's clientele.
"The most exciting thing is when couples come here to propose," says Chen. "Men think that this will be a memorable place for the proposal, and so far all the women have said yes."
Singer and actress Sarah Wang is the CEO of the restaurant. Wang, only 25, said in an earlier interview that Hello Kitty Dreams is targeting female customers ages 15 to 35.
Cuteness overcharge
The restaurant seats approximately 70 people and is bursting with Hello Kitty paraphernalia.
There is a Hello Kitty sink and mirror, pink cat-shaped dining booths, and toys are arranged on every surface with a huge, multi-tiered pyramid of stuffed animals at the restaurant's entrance.
Waiter Wang Bing has been working at the restaurant since its grand opening.
"I had other options for work, but I chose this job because I find Hello Kitty really interesting," he says. "My friends don't think it's weird that I'm a guy and work here. They know it's just my job."
Submit your own travel photos to CNN
One of the diners at the restaurant is Cao Ning, a 36-year-old male international trade manager.
"I take my female colleagues here for lunch sometimes because I know they grew up with Hello Kitty and still enjoy it," he says.
It looks like he's right: His three female fellow diners, in their 20s, collapse into fits of child-like giggles, admitting they still buy Hello Kitty souvenirs, such as mobile phone cases and cosmetic bags.
The food
The menu at the Hello Kitty restaurant is an eclectic mix of both Asian and Western fare, featuring roasted meats, soups, salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, fried rice and curries.
One waiter recommends the cheese baked chicken chop with sides of pasta, French fries, and vegetables molded in the shape of Kitty's face.
But it's a disappointment -- the chicken is gray and stringy, the cheese solidified, and tepid spaghetti sauce tastes like it's straight from a can.
Eat like a local: Share your picks
Secured with cute Hello Kitty toothpicks, the mini burgers aren't much better, with stale buns and a selection of four bland fillings -- beef, chicken, fish, and tomato and mozzarella.
The Hello Kitty Homemade Ice Cream, on the other hand, provides a tasty end to an otherwise terrible meal. A concoction of fluorescent fruit loops and layers of whipped cream, the ice cream is creamy, refreshing, and actually tastes homemade.
The pink-overload restaurant is extremely popular with families, with plenty of toys for sale and an arts and crafts section full of kids.
When 6-year-old girl Jiang Yichen is asked if she has been excited to come, her mother sheepishly admits that it was her idea to bring the family for lunch as she is quite the Hello Kitty fan herself.
Who's been to Hello Kitty Dreams and who wants to go?
Where the next adventure begins
See all Wonder
Ancient beauty, mystery and an impossible empire.
Frozen warmth, colorful darkness and gorgeous landscapes.
French Alps
Days of thin air and adrenaline, nights of wine and glory.
Lush grasslands, dry deserts and a different world below the waves.
Fly back in time, trek a volcano and hop on a boat in the real Garden of Eden.

This villa has 5 verified reviews.
4 out of 5 people recommend staying here
Apart from a minor problem to do with the cleaning of the villa at the start of the holiday, everything went fine. The cleaning issue was resolved quickly. The location was ideal for an older couple and the villa was as described in the website. The wifi worked well and the tv had a multi-channel receiver that showed just about any programme you could want. The coastal path system gave you access to the marina and golf del Sur and San Blas areas. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the immediate area and 15 mins in a taxi takes you to livelier spots like Los Americas. The flight path above you fades quickly into the background and is soon part of the scenery. We liked everything about the place and the villa. One final point, there was only one set of keys available for the guests use. All in all it was a good week in good surroundings. We are already trying to find another date for this year. ( retirement is great)

Very let down by the whole experience. Looking to book Costa Adeje but not having much luck holiday lettings rep sent me details of this property, we were looking to stay 35 -36 days from end of January, I am rheumatoid arthritis sufferer and my husband had been very ill so needed some winter sun. Arrived at property in the dark having never used key box before, took me 10 minutes to find someone to try and help me get into box, having spent quite some time trying to work out how it worked, young man helped me, he had never used one either, eventually get the keys and get into property. 10pm before we are in, went to find somewhere to eat after unloading suitcases, only 2 places open, both bars and not serving food. In the morning discovered how dirty the property was, we had then to purchase cloths and products to clean up, it took me 2 days. First cooking, oil started to drip onto the hob from hood extractor, removed extractor filters which were thick with oil, dead lizard and huge cockroach drop onto hob,; took 3 hot washes in dishwasher to remove oil and grease from filters. Found ladies pants under curtains. Unfortunately it was the coldest winter in Tenerife we are told for 30 years, this cannot be helped but when we told the letting agent the heating did not work his response was it was not advertised with heating, no but it was advertised with air conditioning and it is the same unit that supplies both, reported also standard of cleanliness. Cleaner turned up and was not embarrassed, seemed to think it was nothing. Crockery chipped and minimal as are all utensils, had to purchase several items and leave behind. Other guests who booked through the same owner, who were allocated the villa we were supposed to go in had central heating tried to get ours to work. Engineer arrived quite a long time later, eventually 4 days before we left heating was fixed. We were wearing jumpers and jackets to keep warm.
Whole area seems to be very run down. Lots of vacant land, no facilities no bus service, your nearest bus stop Golf del sur. tried to contact the person we were given a number for to help with any problems multiple times and it would ring and then drop out. Managed to eventually get him on the emergency number number on the day we were leaving as we had managed to get a flight earlier than we had planned going home, we needed to put the keys in the key box and it would not work with the code they had given us he did not apologise for not helping as and told us that the key box code had been changed. Had I not managed to get hold of him what was I to do with the key. A very bad experience all round
We have not long being back from our holiday, the Villa was of a high standard very clean and secure, with everything we needed, the location was excellent easy walking distance to shops, bars ect, a bar wich was very family friendly opposite was excellent, we did not really notice the noise of the aeroplanes, it was a great advantage being so near to the airport, we did not have any English channels and with having a young child we were back early, so it would have been nice to have had this, we loved it and will be going back for our winter holiday next year
We found the property to be extremely dirty on arrival and had problems with the keys in the locks due to lack of use. We couldnt leave the property on the first evening as we couldnt get the key out of the door lock. On phoning the owner we were told that someone would be able to get to us but probably not until the next day which didnt really help! However, we did appreciate that he probably wasn t in the country. The cleaner/maintenance man turned up the next day and his key wasnt too bad but we continued to have problems through most of the holiday - they had just loosened up by the time we were leaving. Quite clearly not having been used for some time in our opinion.
We were also told by one of the residents that there had been a spate of burgularies as we had asked some questions as to why many of the apartments were so heavily locked up. After I personally had to go and buy aload of cleaning stuff and clean the apartment ourselves we felt much better. There were hardly any residents or holiday makers around which left us feeling a little isolated. Thank goodness there was one irish bar across the road that we could walk over to in the evening. Other than that everywhere was pretty much locked up and you definitely need a car no matter what time of year you go. We did like the quietness during the day though as we had the pool to ourselves pretty much.
It is a lovely apartment and feel that this review would have been very different if I had arrived to a nice clean apartment (it really had not been cleaned no matter what the cleaners say - there was suncream marks all over the patio doors, smudge and water marks all over the tiles and round the sinks, fluff/dust gatherings, etc) and if there had been no issues with the keys!
This property looks much better in real life. It is beautiful, everything is fresh and new and everything works. The pool was literally a few feet away from the garden. The upstairs balcony gave an amazing view of the local marina and the sea beyond where you can watch dolphins swimming past. The sea is less than 50 feet from the pool. When we were there in September, the resort was fairly quiet but that was exactly what we wanted. The weather was hot! There were plenty of friendly local bars and a great supermarket very nearby at the end of the road. There is a beautiful coastal path to walk along to the small town of Los Abrigos.
As it is only 10 mins from the airport, you can hear aeroplanes passing but this didnt bother us.
I will definitely be going back here!

Coin-toss hands Kilkenny, Clare and Dublin home advantage in hurling league quarter-finals
Kilkenny, Clare and Dublin all came out on the right side of their respective coin toss to gain home advantage for their Allianz Hurling League Division 1A quarter-finals.
Wexford earned the right to host their game because they only had two home games whereas Waterford had three in their divisional programmes.
In the other three pairings (Kilkenny v Offaly, Dublin v Limerick, Tipperary v Clare), the counties involved had the same number of home games - hence, the need for a toss.
Galway will be at home for the Division 1A relegation showdown with Cork.
The ties will be played over the weekend of 2/3 April, with throw-in times and venues to be confirmed.

Government cuts cattle export red tape
The Federal Government has announced $30 million will be spent reducing red tape for agricultural export industries including North Australia's live cattle export sector.
Minister for Agriculture Senator Joe Ludwig says the changes to the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service will deliver better and more flexible arrangements for exporters.
He says a total of $60 million will be provided to agriculture to support and implement the changes, which include cutting the cost of export certification and inspection services.
Northern Territory cattlemen will also benefit with a new computer tracking system being rolled out.
It will manage the application and approval processes for consignments of all live animals exported from Australia.
Mr Ludwig says the changes were developed partnership with export groups including LiveCorp and the Cattle Council to ensure a smooth transition.

Planting Winter Forages
AgriLife Today Article Late September-early October is the ideal time for planting cool season annual forages such as annual ryegrass, small grains (rye, wheat or oats) and/or cool season annual legumes. Anytime we are incorporating new forages into our production systems it is important to make sure to match the forage species to your location (soil type, average annual rainfall, intended use, etc). If you have questions about forages appropriate for your area contact your local county extension agent. Three methods for establishing cool-season annual grasses include planting… Read More →
Potassium is for Persistence
We rely heavily on our bermudagrass pastures and hay meadows during the summer in some parts of Texas. Often times we are disappointed with production, see a thinning of our stand and/or see disease like symptoms. This is often times referred to as "Bermudagrass Decline." We quickly blame weather. Granted weather can have an impact on each of those issues. However, there is often a deeper problem that we need to access. Primary Causes: Low Potassium (K) Fertility: A deficiency in K will result in poor stress tolerance,… Read More →

Bermudagrass Stem Maggot
June 28, 2017 I am starting to see signs of the bermudagrass stem maggots in parts of Texas. I recommend scouting your fields, especially your hay meadows, as we continue into summer. If you have questions please contact your local county extension agent or myself. The bermudagrass stem maggot (Atherigona reversura), a new pest of bermudagrass forage in Texas has been reported in multiple counties for 2016 so far. The bermudagrass stem maggot is native to south Asia (from Japan westward to Pakistan) and was first reported in… Read More →
Weed of the Week: Grassbur (field sandbur, sandbur, etc.)
Grassbur is a grass weed that is very troublesome in pastures and hay meadows throughout Texas. Most grassburs are easily recognized in the mature stage of growth when the "bur" seed heads become apparent. The bur itself is actually a "capsule" that usually contains from 1 to 3 seeds. We tend to think of the grassbur species as a warm season annual plant. However, many grassburs are classified as perennials because they can survive from one year to the next. The presence of grassburs can be an indication… Read More →
Sprayer Calibration
Sprayer Calibration is a critical step for a pesticide applicator in making sure the correct amount of pesticide is applied to the target site. Calibration is the process by which the amount of pesticide being applied per a unit of area is determined. This step is most often skipped because we get in a hurry, we calibrated it once a long time ago (surely nothing has changed) or we forget. By skipping sprayer calibration the applicator may be applying too much pesticide or not enough pesticide. If too little… Read More →
Establishing Bermudagrass
As temperatures rise we often start getting an itch to plant. When it comes to establishing bermudagrass from sprigs there are several things to keep in mind before we start tilling the soil… Location: Choose a well drained soil; bermudagrass does not do well on wet-land (except for Jiggs Bermudagrass). Variety Selection: Match variety to soil type, average rainfall, production goals, and willingness to manage (provide fertility, etc.). Find more information on bermudagrass varieties Bermudagrass Varieties, Hybrids, and Blends for Texas. Weed Control: Destroy existing vegetation… Read More →
Timing on Weed Control is Critical
Our human nature is to find a simple, one time solution for our problems. Unfortunately, this simple, one time solution does not exist for weed control in pastures and hay meadows. There are several factors that are important when it comes to weed control. These include: Weed Identification: We cannot make the best management decisions if we don't even know what the plant is we are trying to eradicate. Identification will determine the timing of our herbicide application along with the herbicide we choose. There are a… Read More →

Pillow Talk
You might be wondering whether MADELEINE MARTIN -- the 12-year-old who plays a girl with a Jesus complex in "The Pillowman" -- struggles with any nightmares, given her role in the Broadway play, which opened on Sunday night. She's pretty much essential to the sort-of comedy at the Booth Theater about a writer played by BILLY CRUDUP who is suspected of torturing and killing children. There is an electric drill. Barbed wire. Premature burial. And suffocation. (We said sort-of.)
About that barbed wire, Madeleine is forced to wear a spiky garland of same as a crown. She also lugs about a large crucifix onstage. Has this been nightmarish? "No, I like it," she said during the after-party at Osteria Stella restaurant. She smiled. Her publicist smiled, too -- kind of like a proud, but not too terribly overprotective, stage mother. That onstage cross is "certainly pretty heavy," Madeleine said.
And the role, it is--?
"It's fun!" Madeleine said. The publicist beamed.
First nighters included DAVID BOWIE and his wife, IMAN, JULIANNE MOORE and her husband, the director BART FREUNDLICH, EDIE FALCO, HARVEY KEITEL, MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, PETER SARSGAARD and the ABBA founders BENNY ANDERSSON and BJÖRN ULVAEUS.
JEFF GOLDBLUM, who plays a detective in the play, by MARTIN McDONAGH, held forth at the party on "the first dream I ever remember having as a kid." He recalled: "A witch had me -- I think I'd just seen the Snow White scary queen -- a witch like that had me tied to a tree stump. And I thought she was going to cut my head off, but she wound up going: 'Peaches! Peaches! Peaches!"'
So, just what does that mean? Mr. Goldblum, who is quite tall, leaned down a bit and said softly, "I have no idea."Continue reading the main story
Royals: Freshly Squeezed
Apropos of nothing at all, we asked JACKIE MASON to dish about the Royal Wedding. "It's like a train wreck or an accident on the highway," said Professor Mason, whose philosophy classroom these nights is in the Helen Hayes Theater during his Broadway show, "Jackie Mason Freshly Squeezed: Just One Jew Talking!"
"Everyone is absolutely fascinated with this disaster," he said yesterday of the television-land nuptials.
When PRINCE CHARLES married CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES, he said: "This guy who's supposed to become a king gave up one of the most beautiful women who ever lived. To him? Diana was a disease. It was like running from MARILYN MONROE to ZASU PITTS."
This was Mr. Mason's little test for all of you under-30's.
"It would be unkind to say that Camilla is not a beauty," Mr. Mason continued, "but this man Charles wants to be king -- and it looks like he can't even see straight."
Charles and Camilla, he recalled, "used to do phone sex, and most other people would be afraid to leave the house if they said such things."
Mr. Mason added: "Everyone knows that the whole royal family has a history of jumping from one bed to another. Why do you think mattresses are called kings and queens?"
A Mighty Anchor
At the seasonal height of midcareer retrospectives for writer-actor-directors, CHRISTOPHER GUEST -- of "This Is Spinal Tap," "A Mighty Wind" and "Best in Show" -- was loitering onstage in the basement theater at the Museum of Modern Art. His co-conspirators were MICHAEL McKEAN and HARRY SHEARER, and the three of them were performing together for the first time not in character, Mr. Guest said. In the audience were some of Mr. Guest's ensemble stalwarts, PAUL BENEDICT and BOB BALABAN. WALTER CRONKITE arrived just in time Saturday night to get the last seat in the theater.
The actor PETER BOYLE said Mr. Guest "is a funny guy, and the world needs funny guys." His eyes narrowed. "There are people out there that are trying to stop laughter."
Finally, after singing, badinage, much irony and a mighty wind of a Q.andA. session, the theater began to empty. "I thought there was a dinner," Mr. Cronkite was heard to say. With Paula Schwartz and Brian McDonaldContinue reading the main story

I've been insanely busy lately working on classes, programs, workshops, lectures and other teaching opportunities that focus on cat show standards as the foundation for professional cat grooming. While trying to keep up with the demand for all the teaching based on show standard, I received a comment on one of my latest blog entries telling me how insulting my beliefs on this matter are. I love the irony.
The message below was written in response to one of my recent blog entries entitled "Competition Breeds Excellence."
The comment reads:
"you truly need to take a step back and reenter the real world. plenty and i mean THOUSANDS of groomers in just the USA alone have no need for "competition" to maintain their standards. It is insulting for you to infer anything other. MOST groomers who ive encountered do EXCEPTIONAL work without even thinking of visiting a competition or website for "education". we are only cutting a domesticated animal's hair. the uniqueness of the grooms by INDIVIDUAL'S and not some sanctioned breed standard or cat standard groom will forever be superior to what you espouse incessantly."
Obviously I struck a nerve when I wrote the blog entry (which, incidentally, also appeared in an issue of NDGAA's Groomer's Voice newsletter).
Not long after receiving that heartfelt message I had the pleasure of helping Liz and Olivia on one of our salon groom days. We had 15 cats on the schedule that day. With only 5 hours to groom them all and the added interruption of shooting video footage for future projects, I was going to have to jump in and do some cat grooming.
I got lucky. Out of the 15 cats on the schedule, 11 were Persians (1 Himi included in that bunch). I do love me some Persians!
The Himi was getting a lion cut. Out of the remaining 10 Persians, 1 DSH, 1 Maine Coon and 2 DLHs, there were a total of 3 comb cuts. The remainder consisted of full coat grooms with some belly shaves and sanitary clips thrown in along the way. That meant a lot of bathing, blow drying and combing out of long, luxurious coats was on the agenda. My favorite!
Not a single one of these cats was or ever will be a show cat. These were all "real world" cats. The kind that lie around the house, get greasy and matted if not groomed regularly, form tight pelts around their necks when drinking from a water bowl, start to smell like a litter box after awhile, and sometimes get rather cranky about being made to do things they haven't decided to do. Real cats. Real life.
Prior to the first visit to my salon, most of these cats were in pretty bad condition from severe matting and/or pelting. The owners cared about their felines but had believed the myths that cats groom themselves or hate water, etc. A few of these clients had taken their cats to other grooming salons only to have them end up looking worse after the groom than they did before. Or they were called to come pick up their cat early, only partially groomed, because of its temperament.
A simple groom based on show standards combined with a little education has gone a long way! The owners are empowered to care for their kitties in a way that is better for both them and their cats. Being somebody's pet doesn't mean they deserve something less than what is provided for a show animal. Quite the contrary! While a lion cut, comb cut, sanitary clip or any other form of shaving is certainly not a show standard groom, the FOUNDATION for each of these ought to be based on the same quality as show presentation.
As an example, this Persian arrived at our salon sorely overgrown in such a way that her beauty was hidden behind a mess of hair. After a trim and bath/blow dry based on show standards, her face and head were restored to the smooth, fluffy, round openness that the Persian breed standard calls for. Why would I want to send this cat back out my door looking like anything but show standard quality? Why would anyone want to do that? What would drive a person to be so against this way of thinking that they feel compelled to write the above message?

Stretch and Challenge for All: Practical Resources for Getting the Best Out of Every Student by Torsten Payne is packed with activities to get the most out of learners in any lesson. If you have a class of 30 students, how can you differentiate so that every learner is challenged appropriately? These tried-and-tested techniques are designed to engage and stretch all pupils, including the most able, and can be used with mixed ability groups in any key stage or subject lesson. If you are looking for ideas which will enthuse all students and develop their understanding and thinking skills, this is the book for you.
Torsten set out to write a book that he, as a full-time teacher, would want to use: crammed full of ideas, strategies and resources – all explained as quickly and simply as possible. Designed to reduce teacher workload without compromising on the quality of students' learning, the photocopiable activities will cut down on planning time and really get students thinking – ensuring that the students work harder than their teacher! The easily accessible resources don't require a lot of explanation from the teacher and encourage students to think for themselves; developing independence, resilience and metacognitive skills in the process. Some involve group work, while others test students individually. There is no ceiling on the potential for learning: see how far students will stretch themselves when given the challenge.
The activities can be used at any stage of the lesson and include ideas for: interactive aims, stimulating starters, challenging questions, writing strategies to stretch the student, showing the progress, plenaries and revision, and mastering metacognition. Discover practical strategies to add challenge to all types of lesson, across all subjects and key stages.
Suitable for all teachers.

Click here to read the review of 'Stretch and challenge for ALL' on Humanising Language Teaching.
Too much to do and too little time: this is the opening line of Torsten's book and this understanding of the daily reality of teaching is clearly reflected throughout the following pages. Gone is the lengthy introduction, the theoretical background and the thesis-like level of detail, which teachers like but are too busy to read. Instead, Torsten delivers seven chapters of practical, useful, accessible, ready-made strategies that any teacher can instantly use with their learners. Each strategy comes with a short explanation of the reasons behind it and practical tips about how it could be adapted to suit the range of learners a teacher might be working with. Within a minute a new or refreshed activity can be used to stimulate your learners in ways they weren't expecting. With too much to do and too little time, discovering new activities to peek your learners' interest in less than a minute is excellent value!
Stretch and Challenge for All stands out from many other resource books as Torsten has ensured that it is not presented as a 'one size fits all' solution. Torsten provides the reasoning behind using each resource and suggests adaptations so that even the busiest teacher can differentiate the resources appropriately.
Not all the strategies in Torsten's book are brand new, but the reminder about activities lost to the daily chaos and the suggestions for tweaking current strategies make this book an excellent addition to any teacher's library. Every teacher should have this book on their desk, ready to dip into to change-up their routines or step out of the rut and do something different.
What a useful and practical book for teachers to use within the classroom to stretch and challenge all their pupils, including those with high ability. With photocopiable sheets and clear instructions for the busiest professional, this book will help teachers to ensure that every child maximises their potential. There is something here for teachers of children of all ages and abilities. My personal favourite activities were 'Six Degrees of Separation' and 'Making Learning Pun'.Torsten, you now need to write a sister volume for parents!
A beautifully structured cornucopia of ideas new, borrowed and adapted, all selected to meet the author's admirable criteria. Are they accessible to all? Do they promote high level thinking and independence? Do they allow pupils to shine? They are and they do, and teachers will shine too. A valuable new resource – a Teacher's Toolkit of our time.

A kiss to last a lifetime
Aiden Gallagher was only five years old when he appeared in a photograph on the Kissing Bridge. The town of Darling, Vermont, has used Aiden's image on the famed bridge—local legend has it that a kiss there results in everlasting love—as part of its tourism campaign. Now, twenty years later, Aiden is asked to recreate the moment with the woman he once kissed: Laurel Stone.
Recently divorced, there's nothing Laurel wants less than to pretend happily-ever-after with Aiden. As teenagers, their romance was no fairy tale—and Laurel has never quite forgiven Aiden for breaking her heart. But now that she is back in her hometown, and keeps bumping into police officer Aiden, Laurel can't deny that there's still a strong flicker between her and her old flame. Could it be that the Kissing Bridge is working its magic on Laurel and Aiden—and that all true love ever needed was a second chance?
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
I'm probably the last person on earth you want to start anything with. But Laurel? What just happened was just about perfect. You're just about perfect. And I'm gonna go now before I have the chance to mess anything up.
Tell that to the teenaged girls who came in last night. They thought it was very cool to have all-natural, vegan, free trade, ecologically responsible food. So cool that they posted all sorts of pictures of it on their phones while wearing clothes that were probably produced in some Bangladesh sweatshop.
I love you, so much I probably always have, and you scare me to death, but I'm man enough now to tell you and be at your mercy.
She wasn't sure how a heart could break and heal all at the same time, but those words seemed to accomplish it.
My Review:
Somebody Like You was my first Donna Alward reading experience, although I plan to repeat this pleasant task again and again. Written from my favorite dual POV, I was entertained and engaged throughout with a storyline that was easy to follow, relevant, observantly detailed, and emotive. The primary and secondary characters were flawed yet likable, as well as intriguing and complex. Given the end result of humiliating and emotionally devastating betrayals from the two times she had given her heart, Laurel was disillusioned with relationships and understandably, was more than bit angry and plagued with trust issues. She was prickly, feisty, and fiercely independent – she pretty much had to be as she was starting over as a small business owner. The vast majority of women worldwide could relate to her issues at least once in their lifetime… The plot had several thoughtful and intriguing threads that were unique and interesting in how they connected to the overall premise. The story was a first in a series stand-alone and has me I looking forward to many return trips to Darling, Vermont.
DONNA ALWARD BIO: While bestselling author Donna Alward was busy studying Austen, Eliot and Shakespeare, she was also losing herself in the breathtaking stories created by romance novelists like LaVyrle Spencer, Judith McNaught, and Nora Roberts. Several years after completing her degree she decided to write a romance of her own and it was true love! Five years and ten manuscripts later she sold her first book and launched a new career. While her heartwarming stories of love, hope, and homecoming have been translated into several languages, hit bestseller lists and won awards, her very favorite thing is when she hears from happy readers!
Donna lives on Canada's east coast with her family which includes a husband, a couple of kids, a senior dog and two crazy cats. When she's not writing she enjoys reading (of course!), knitting, gardening, cooking…and is a Masterpiece Theater addict.

Busy day in the forecast center, so this is a quick update....
Wintry precipitation still looks to begin late tonight. While there may be some light precipitation late this evening, we anticipate it to be more widespread around midnight and continue through most of Saturday.
Accumulation forecast late tonight through Saturday:
North of the Triangle near the VA border: The area including Oxford and Henderson may see between 8-12" of snow. Ther may be a narrow band of over a foot of snow in this area.
Triangle to Wilson: 5-10" of snow and sleet with some freezing rain possible
Sandhills to Goldsboro: While some snow is possible here, the precipitation will be mainly freezing rain and sleet. 0.5" to 0.75" of ice accumulation is possible. That is enough to create power problems and traffic issues.
Coastal areas: Locations along the coast will see mainly rain of over one inch. Portions of Bladen, Duplin, far inland Onslow, and Craven Counties may see some freezing rain or sleet with the rain. We will watch these areas closely for icing problems.
Are you prepared for the worst case scenario? We'll hope for better conditions, but areas that receive snow and/or ice should expect travel to become extremely dangerous if not impossible by early Saturday morning. Icing and/or heavy snow will lead to extended power outages. Just in case, are you ready to be stuck in your location from Friday night until Monday spending a lot of that time with no power? Temperatures in the Triangle and Sandhills may stay at or below freezing until late Monday morning.

Protecting content overview
Microsoft Azure Media Services enables you to secure your media from the time it leaves your computer through storage, processing, and delivery. Media Services allows you to deliver your live and on-demand content encrypted dynamically with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) (using 128-bit encryption keys) or any of the major DRMs: Microsoft PlayReady, Google Widevine, and Apple FairPlay. Media Services also provides a service for delivering AES keys and DRM (PlayReady, Widevine, and FairPlay) licenses to authorized clients.
The following image demonstrates the content protection workflows that AMS supports.
When your AMS account is created a default streaming endpoint is added to your account in the Stopped state. To start streaming your content and take advantage of dynamic packaging and dynamic encryption, the streaming endpoint from which you want to stream content has to be in the Running state.
This topic explains concepts and terminology relevant to understanding content protection with AMS. The topic also contains links to topics that show how to achieve content protection tasks.
Dynamic encryption
Microsoft Azure Media Services enables you to deliver your content encrypted dynamically with AES clear key or DRM encryption: Microsoft PlayReady, Google Widevine, and Apple FairPlay.
Currently, you can encrypt the following streaming formats: HLS, MPEG DASH, and Smooth Streaming. You cannot encrypt progressive downloads.
If you want for Media Services to encrypt an asset, you need to associate an encryption key (CommonEncryption or EnvelopeEncryption) with your asset and also configure authorization policies for the key.
You also need to configure the asset's delivery policy. If you want to stream a storage encrypted asset, make sure to specify how you want to deliver it by configuring asset delivery policy.
When a stream is requested by a player, Media Services uses the specified key to dynamically encrypt your content using AES clear key or DRM encryption. To decrypt the stream, the player will request the key from the key delivery service. To decide whether or not the user is authorized to get the key, the service evaluates the authorization policies that you specified for the key.
Storage encryption
Use storage encryption to encrypt your clear content locally using AES 256 bit encryption and then upload it to Azure Storage where it is stored encrypted at rest. Assets protected with storage encryption are automatically unencrypted and placed in an encrypted file system prior to encoding, and optionally re-encrypted prior to uploading back as a new output asset. The primary use case for storage encryption is when you want to secure your high quality input media files with strong encryption at rest on disk.
In order to deliver a storage encrypted asset, you must configure the asset's delivery policy so Media Services knows how you want to deliver your content. Before your asset can be streamed, the streaming server removes the storage encryption and streams your content using the specified delivery policy (for example, AES, common encryption, or no encryption).
Common encryption (CENC)
Common encryption is used when encrypting your content with PlayReady or/and Widewine.
Using cbcs-aapl encryption
Cbcs-aapl is used when encrypting your content with FairPlay.
Envelope encryption
Use this option if you want to protect your content with AES-128 clear key. If you want a more secure option, choose one of the DRMs listed in this topic.
Licenses and keys delivery service
Media Services provides a service for delivering DRM (PlayReady, Widevine, FairPlay) licenses and AES clear keys to authorized clients. You can use the Azure portal, REST API, or Media Services SDK for .NET to configure authorization and authentication policies for your licenses and keys.
Token restriction
The content key authorization policy could have one or more authorization restrictions: open or token restriction. The token restricted policy must be accompanied by a token issued by a Secure Token Service (STS). Media Services supports tokens in the Simple Web Tokens (SWT) format and JSON Web Token (JWT) format. Media Services does not provide Secure Token Services. You can create a custom STS or leverage Microsoft Azure ACS to issue tokens. The STS must be configured to create a token signed with the specified key and issue claims that you specified in the token restriction configuration. The Media Services key delivery service will return the requested key (or license) to the client if the token is valid and the claims in the token match those configured for the key (or license).
When configuring the token restricted policy, you must specify the primary verification key, issuer and audience parameters. The primary verification key contains the key that the token was signed with, issuer is the secure token service that issues the token. The audience (sometimes called scope) describes the intent of the token or the resource the token authorizes access to. The Media Services key delivery service validates that these values in the token match the values in the template.
Streaming URLs
If your asset was encrypted with more than one DRM, you should use an encryption tag in the streaming URL: (format='m3u8-aapl', encryption='xxx').
The following considerations apply:
- Only zero or one encryption type can be specified.
- Encryption type doesn't have to be specified in the url if only one encryption was applied to the asset.
- Encryption type is case insensitive.
- The following encryption types can be specified:
- cenc: Common encryption (Playready or Widevine)
- cbcs-aapl: Fairplay
- cbc: AES envelope encryption.
Common scenarios
The following topics demonstrate how to protect content in storage, deliver dynamically encrypted streaming media, use AMS key/license delivery service
- Protect with AES
- Protect with PlayReady and/or Widevine
- Stream your HLS content Protected with Apple FairPlay and/or PlayReady
Additional scenarios
- How to integrate Azure PlayReady License service with your own encryptor/streaming server.
- Using castLabs to deliver DRM licenses to Azure Media Services
A scenario in which you use an external DRM server(technology) and stream from AMS is currently not supported.

Stephen Sutton honoured with Pride of Britain award
INSPIRATIONAL cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton has been honoured with a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain award.
The teenager, who inspired the nation with his fundraising efforts as he battled cancer, was posthumously given the award at last night's ceremony, which recognise the country's heroes.
Celebrities, sports stars and politicians flocked to the event at the Grosvenor Hotel on London's Park Lane.
Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Frank Lampard and Christine Bleakley, Jamie Oliver, Alesha Dixon and Sir Bruce Forsyth were among those who attended.
Others to receive gongs included two children who protected their mothers and siblings from violent attack - one by a dog, one by a man.
Mr Sutton, who was diagnosed with cancer of the colon aged 15, became a household name as he approached his disease with good humour and stoicism with his trademark thumbs up.
Comedian Jason Manford, who played a key role in bringing Mr Sutton's story to the public's attention through the £ThumbsUpForStephen campaign, said the youngster had demonstrated how to "stay positive in the face of adversity".
"I think we've all had tough moments in life and we've either come through it and done well or let it beat us," he said.
"Stephen faced the biggest thing you can face - death - the worst thing that will happen to any of us, and he did it thinking of others, with a smile on his face."
Stephen faced the biggest thing you can face - death - the worst thing that will happen to any of us, and he did it thinking of others, with a smile on his face
In December 2012, after doctors told him his condition was incurable, the youngster set up Stephen's Story, a Facebook page where he could spread a positive message about living with illness and post details of his bucket list.
Along with things such as skydiving, crowdsurfing in a dinghy and hugging an animal bigger than him, his list of things to achieve before he died included: "Raise £10,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust."
The target of £10,000 was quickly passed and he eventually managed to raise an astonishing £5 million for the Teenage Cancer Trust, earning him an MBE and the Special Recognition award at the year's Pride of Britain wards.
TV presenter Phillip Schofield praised Mr Sutton,19, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, for being "so brave and so tenacious in the face of adversity".
"The incredible thing about him is that he just didn't given up and his last days and hours were spent helping others," Schofield said.
Among those honoured at the awards were Jack Mackay, 11, from Eltham, south east London, and Renee-Mai Bolter, 10, from Walsall, who both won Child Of Courage awards.
Jack jumped into the path of an out-of-control dog which attacked his mother and baby brother - and he suffered severe injuries in the process.
Renee-Mai protected her mother and baby sister from a violent attacker in their home, and had the courage and presence of mind to hide a mobile phone so they could call for help.

I want to note just a couple changes I made seconds ago:
I rewrote my OED entry and added a comment about little dictionaries that I particularly liked when I thought of it at 3AM this morning. This entry should now suck less. For some reason I didn't get rid of the epigram though, in spite of the fact that it creeps me out that I actually used to attempt poetry. Shudder.
I also added a couple items to the Happy December entry so I wouldn't have to make a separate entry for more news items. I added Hilary Hahn's birthday and noted that I am an awesome hugger, FYI.

Seven years ago, DC and Warner Bros started releasing direct-to-video animated films, with a retelling of one of the most controversial storylines ever, the Death of Superman with the film "Superman: Doomsday." Seventeen films later, they have essentially started over with "Justice League: War." "Doomsday" had an art style that was still reminiscent of the DCU Animated shows that had just ended the year prior with "Justice League: Unlimited," and each film subsequently moved further and further away, creating their own unique takes on the characters. But all of those storylines were classics (with a few originals) and were from a vault of well known and loved stories. In 2011, DC Comics concluded the company-wide "Flashpoint" crossover, which led to the reboot of the DC new Universe (DCnU), or New 52. The DCAnimated Universe has recently done the same, starting with "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox," and the release of their 18th film, "Justice League: War."
If you're wondering why I went through that long explanation, it's not just to show off my geek knowledge, but to inform fans of what to expect when they watch "Justice League: War." With the exception of Batman, Flash and Cyborg, many of the characters are quite different from what we're used to. Superman is just brute force personified and hasn't learned the subtleties of his abilities, let alone subtlety in general. Wonder Woman is a warrior tasked with being an emissary for her people, when she'd rather just be enjoying battle. Green Lantern is an egotistical jerk, which is understandable when you're carrying around one of the most powerful weapons in the universe on your finger. And Captain Marvel, well, his alter ego Billy Batson is kind of a jerk, too, but he's got a chip on his shoulder from a lifetime of being moved from one foster home to another.
This is the New 52 Universe now, and if you aren't on board with it, then it's time to move on. It did wonders for DC Comics, and the plan is to do similarly with the animated films, with "War" being the first in a new set of connected movies. So I'm sure we'll see versions of the characters closer to their more well known versions, but these are supposed to be when the world really first meets them and everyone's kinda new to it. Now that all of that is out of the way, on to the film. I don't have to go into much detail as it's a relatively simple story. Darkseid has set in motion an invasion of our world, and though it starts clandestinely, the discovery of his agents by heroes of Earth have forced the invasion into full swing. Now the heroes have to band together to defeat this foe.
With the voice talent of Jason O'Mara ("Terra Nova") as Batman, Christopher Gorham ("Jake 2.0") as Flash, Alan Tudyk ("Firefly") as Superman, Michelle Monaghan ("Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol") as Wonder Woman, Justin Kirk ("Weeds") as Green Lantern, Shemar Moore ("Criminal Minds") as Cyborg, and Sean Astin ("Lord of the Rings") as Shazam, it's a very different movie than past iterations of the League. But it's still a very good version and Andrea Romano's casting doesn't disappoint. Batman and Green Lantern's banter is priceless, and a lot of the personality quirks make for some great interaction between the team. And when they finally do start working together, the action is insane. And speaking of action, I didn't mention Steve Blum as the voice of Darkseid. They gave him a truly alien voice, on top of making him huge. The final fight is absolutely over the top, but what a fight it is. It truly does take the entire League to win this. The story is very straightforward but they do some slower stuff with Cyborg's origin.
Jay Oliva directed "Justice League: War" and much like "Man of Steel" (which he storyboarded), there is rampant collateral damage during the Darkseid battle. But this was the case in the source material as well, and it actually is part of a running issue through the film that gets resolved at the end. Oliva seems to thrive on big action, and "War" has plenty. Phil Burasa provided character designs once again, and as usual they were great. Superman towers over everyone and is only smaller in size compared to the bulky Cyborg, Flash is lean, and Batman is the perfect human specimen, while Darkseid is an imposing behemoth. They all looked great on screen and in action, even Captain Marvel, er, Shazam.
This is the opening shot in a new era for DC Uninverse Animated films. O'Mara is our Batman for the foreseeable future, reprising the role once again in the upcoming "Son of Batman." And oh, stay tuned during the credits.
Buy "Justice League: War" on DVD/Blu-ray.

Took it~
Went to the interview anyways.
Liked what I saw.
Took the job, ironed out the details in the contract.
Went to the doctor. He said I was too sick to work.
Went to work, was told no one can cover for me.
Felt like crap...fever, sore throat, achy, the works.
Taught my first class, tried to rest and not speak.
Kids started to play.
Knock on door.
"Go Home"
"Why you couldn't have enough courage to tell us No, that you can't work, now you could have made the children complain that their teacher was resting and not working."
Pissed of the supervisors.
Went home.
Still feel like crap.
Hoping this doesn't tarnish my supervisors decision to give me the release letter.
Oh soup time.
