If you're like me, then you can probably list all the Disney Princess' names by heart. You probably remember the heroes and the villains and maybe even the comic relief sidekicks… But sometimes the little guy is overlooked, swept under the proverbial rug in our memories. Well not today. Let's peel back that memory-rug, do away with our ridiculous rug metaphor, and take a look at some under-appreciated Disney characters.
I've picked five random films and then picked our characters.
Warning: This list isn't in any particular order, and for the sake of keeping it short (well, shorter than it could have been) Disney/Pixar collaborations and sequels have been left off.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: The Huntsman
For a character that so few people think about (at least, most didn't before Once Upon a Time) the Huntsman had a major impact on Snow White's story. Rather than carry out his orders, he fell to his knees to beg for Snow White's forgiveness, he even told her the Queen was planning to have her killed. After a few scant seconds on screen he's shown to have more compassion, more humility, and more loyalty than most characters develop over an entire movie. His moment of concience is what saved Snow White's life. It also presumeably saved the kingdom from being ruled over by a jealous witch queen bent on killing pretty young girls, so… there's also that. The Huntsman really is one of the most important Disney character. He, in an incredibly selfless act, allows Snow White to live knowing that her survival would lead to his own demise. The Huntsman saved the very first Disney Princess. So really, every Disney Princess owes their lives to him. Yet when people talk about this film, it's always about the dwarfs or the villainous queen. No one ever mentions the Huntsman. He's so overlooked that animators and Walt Disney didn't even give him a name. He's forever known simply as the Huntsman. Granted, I don't know what name would have given this character justice, but still. I feel like they could have come up with something. Graham perhaps?

I just found out the Huntsman actually DOES have a name. His name is Humbert. Odd name. Oh well.
Pinocchio– Blue fairy
Not to disrespect other forgotten characters like "The Great Stromboli" who manages to make a living doing puppet shows, Honest John and Gideon who try to tempt Pinocchio from his path home, and Lampwick who turns into a creepy sort of donkey, but the title we chose for Pinocchio's underrated character was the Blue Fairy. First of all, she grants Pinocchio his first spark of life and tells him he must learn the difference between right and wrong to become a real boy. Then, rather than leave him in the dark, she promotes Jiminy Cricket to conscience status. She even gives him his tiny little suit. Her role doesn't end there, she saves Pinocchio from a cage in Stromboli's cart, and later delivers a letter to Pinocchio telling him of Gepetto's fate with Monstro. Everyone remembers the last scene, where she finally reappears and gives Pinocchio his human form, but it's for her consistent, caring advice that we remember her on this list. The Blue Fairy is one of the most powerful and noble characters in all of Disney's animated films, yet she's often overlooked. Though she's the one that brings Pinocchio to life, she almost becomes forgotten as the film turns into a boy's club as Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket travel and learn life lessons along the way. While everyone remembers that Jiminy is Pinocchio's conscience, people (me included) often forget how large of a role the Blue Fairy actually has in the film. She's even the one that eventually turns Pinocchio into a real boy. And besides the fish Cleo, she is surprisingly, the only female in the entire film. With the beauty and grace of a princess, and the power of a villain, the Blue Fairy is one of the most unique characters created by Disney.

Cinderella– Lucifer
I was tempted to list Cinderella herself as the unappreciated character for her movie because in spite of only really asking for a night off from work to go to a party she was invited to, people tend to do her an injustice and slander her as "Someone who threw a fit and got everything she wanted the second she cried". Totally unfair. Ridiculously unfair. So very, very, totally, ridiculously unfair… and so not the point. People like Cinderella, even those who do remember her as a bit weak-willed and looking to be saved. However, people often forget about a truly devious criminal mastermind. Someone whose joy seems to come solely at the misfortune of others. Someone with four legs, whiskers, and a name synonymous with Satan. Yes, Lucifer the cat wins a spot on this list for his relentlessness pursuit of his master's approval – and for the clarity of his personality even with an absence of dialogue. Interestingly enough, I think if I were Lucifer and someone who was certainly not my master kept saving mice from me and making them little hats and shirts… I would be pretty irritated too. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to ruin her nice mopping, but I might be tempted after she also made clothes for the birds. Cinderella has a ridiculously unfair reputation. She wasn't just some girl that got married. She was someone who proved that all dreams are valid and anyone regardless of social class and gender can change their life. But I digress. Yes, Lady Tremaine is the classic Disney villain of the film, but does she share a name with the devil? Nope, that honor falls on the coolest cat around, Lucifer. With that name, he clearly wins at life. I mean look at that smile, he's blowing the Cheshire Cat right out of the water. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the pure glee and delight on his face as he chases mice and causes mischief around the house. Though he never speaks unlike the rest of his animal counterparts, he doesn't need too. We learn everything from that smile and his wonderfully real expressions. I'm still waiting for the day when Lucifer gets his own spin off.

Lady and the Tramp– Trusty
Trusty lives up to his name, a reliable old hound dog. Though he and Jock don't see eye to eye with Tramp, they're always good friends with Lady, and in the end they overcome their dislike of Tramp for her sake. Trusty's old nose even picks up the scent of the dogcatcher's cart when it counts the most. I mostly blocked out what happened after that, but I do recall a certain Christmas scene where he's shown with a broken leg, but happy. All four year old Emily could really remember from this film was Lady and Tramp, meatballs and a scary rat at the end. Flash forward many years later I decided to pop in the ole vhs. By the end of the film, all I could think was Tramp who? because Trusty had stolen my heart. He was loyal, brave, sweet and oh so polite. My heart melted every time he referred to Lady as 'Miss Lady, ma'am.' Tramp may be remembered as the brave hero of the film because he took down that R.O.U.S, but we all know that that honor totally falls on Trusty. He was intelligent enough to admit that he had misjudged Tramp and in order to rectify the situation was willing to do anything to make it right. In the process of getting Tramp back, Trusty was run over by the van. The scene still gets me every time. While he survived with a few broken bones, he deserved a way better ending than the one he got.

Alice in Wonderland– March Hare
When Alice in Wonderland is mentioned, there are four characters that usually come to mind very quickly. Alice, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mad Hatter. All well and good… except that the Mad Hatter doesn't appear on his own until the courtroom scene near the end of the movie. The March Hare is there for the hatter's entire introduction. He contributes a myriad of cute, clever lines to the teaparty scene, and acts just as oddly as his haberdashering friend. So why is it that he's so oft forgotten? It's unclear, but hopefully he'll hop into your mind once in a while. You know, just hare and there. There are certain characters from the book and modern adaptions that really seem to pop, and for some strange reason, the March Hare isn't one of them. I know when you have a large list of outrageous characters some may get lost in the shuffle, but the March Hare might be the most unjust lost character. Besides the Mad Hatter and Alice herself, the March Hare is the only other character to make it into the sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass, which shows his value and importance to author Lewis Carroll. He and the Cheshire Cat are also the only characters who aren't afraid of the Queen of Hearts. The March Hare stands up to her and her tyranny by screaming "Nothing Whatever!" to her. He also tells the Queen he knows nothing during the trial. Needless to say he's a pretty brave guy. So why does the Mad Hatter get upgraded to Johnny Depp while the March Hare simply remains a CGI bunny? I don't know, but in the mean time, I wish you all a very merry un-birthday.

Title: Obamacare architect in 6th video: 'Mislabeling' helped us get rid of tax breaks
Post by: Soul Crusher on November 14, 2014, 01:31:44 PM
Washington (CNN) -- In a 2011 conversation about the Affordable Care Act, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of the law more commonly known as Obamacare, talked about how the bill would get rid of all tax credits for employer-based health insurance through "mislabeling" what the tax is and who it would hit.
In recent days, the past comments of Gruber -- who in a 2010 speech noted that he "helped write the federal bill" and "was a paid consultant to the Obama administration to help develop the technical details as well" -- have been given renewed attention.
In previously posted but only recently noticed speeches, Gruber discusses how those pushing the bill took part in an "exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter," taking advantage of voters' "stupidity" to create a law that would ultimately be good for them.

The issue at hand in this sixth video is known as the "Cadillac tax," which was represented as a tax on employers' expensive health insurance plans. While employers do not currently have to pay taxes on health insurance plans they provide employees, starting in 2018, companies that provide health insurance that costs more than $10,200 for an individual or $27,500 for a family will have to pay a 40 percent tax.
"Economists have called for 40 years to get rid of the regressive, inefficient and expensive tax subsidy provided for employer provider health insurance," Gruber said at the Pioneer Institute for public policy research in Boston. The subsidy is "terrible policy," Gruber said.
"It turns out politically it's really hard to get rid of," Gruber said. "And the only way we could get rid of it was first by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people when we all know it's a tax on people who hold those insurance plans."
(The White House press secretary said at a press briefing in 2010: "I would disagree with your notion that it is a tax on an individual since the proposal is written as a tax on an insurance company that offers a plan.")
The second way was have the tax kick in "late, starting in 2018. But by starting it late, we were able to tie the cap for Cadillac Tax to CPI, not medical inflation," Gruber said. CPI is the consumer price index, which is lower than medical inflation.
Gruber explains that by drafting the bill this way, they were able to pass something that would initially only impact some employer plans though it would eventually hit almost every employer plan. And by that time, those who object to the tax will be obligated to figure out how to come up with the money that repealing the tax will take from the treasury, or risk significantly adding to the national debt.
"What that means is the tax that starts out hitting only 8% of the insurance plans essentially amounts over the next 20 years essentially getting rid of the exclusion for employer sponsored plans," Gruber said. "This was the only political way we were ever going to take on one of the worst public policies in America."
Unions and employers who object in 2018, he noted, "at that point if they want to get rid of it they're going to have to fill a trillion dollar hole in the deficit...It's on the books now."
(When the Cadillac tax was first rolled out, it was explained by Obamacare backers as a tax that would only impact those with "high end plans" -- not all employer sponsored plans. A White House economic adviser in 2009 set "the record straight" by saying "the excise tax levied on insurance companies for high-premium plans, the so-called 'Cadillac tax,' will affect only a small portion of the very highest cost health plans -- a total of 3% of premiums in 2013.")
Gruber's are at about the 30:38 mark here.
Former White House press secretary Jay Carney told CNN that Gruber's remarks in general were "very harmful politically to the president."
Gruber "speaks from the Ivory tower with remarkable hubris about the American voter and by extension the American Congress," Carney told The Lead with Jake Tapper. "Any health care reform that sought to control costs and expand insurance would involve winners and losers. And that's always going to be the case."
Many of the videos were discovered by a Philadelphia-area financial adviser named Rich Weinstein who has spent the last year researching Obamacare after his family insurance premiums doubled. Weinstein told CNN that he had assumed, incorrectly, that since he liked his health insurance plan and he had insurance, he wouldn't be much impacted by the new law.

Guess Who I Am
I am pictured on the right in the photo above. I was a child actor at the time I made my only Spaghetti western. Guess who I am.
I would go on to appear in 7 more films. Guess who I am.
My last appearance was on a 1993 Spanish TV series. Guess who I am.
No winner this week. The photo is of Fredy Arco who played Jesus in "Fistful of Dollars" (1964).

No words for how grateful I am for your support on Kickstarter!
More than 100 people donated via Kickstarter, to help public this book! We still have more than ten days to go for the missing 26% of the budget. I am so grateful, you fantastic people!
So here are the newest:
We are only at the 6th day of our kickstarter campaign, but we almost reached the half of the budget! This is a huge success for us, with all the feedbacks, thank you, thank you! Here is the newest drawing: bladder (after drinking a lot of water 🙂 ).
Spine. The funding of our vertebrae structure. The basis of our humanity as well. In Hungarian there is a saying about spine: people who lie, cheat, mislead are called "spineless". Let's take good care of it!
It is a complete inner journey to colour any of the Anatomy with Love drawings. First of all: I love them black and white. Second: OK, let's print and colour, but which one? Finally when the decision is made comes the third: choosing the colours… "this green shall be fine. leaves are green. ok, but now they don't have to be green. let's make them different. no. i like green…" etc etc… Last but not least: the outcome never meets the expectations. Better or worse but different than imagined. This is like life itself. I love it.
With each drawing I make I learn more and more about the human body. This extraordinary machine where everything is chaotic but still enough reactions happen in the right place and time to keep the whole system organised. Truly amazing.
All that I am and know about life is in this book. It is intimate, but at the same time universal – it is about all of us. Our body. Our life. I hope it will bring at least as much joy for the people who colour it in as the drawing of it has brought to me.
My first encounter with folk art was when I was a teenager. At first I copied the patterns I saw on traditional costumes or on honeycakes. Then with the help of the internet my world expanded. The world of Hungarian folk motifs is truly amazing. Everything can be expressed in them. Happiness, sadness, passion, grief, desire, misery. The whole of life.
I've been passionate about biology since childhood. The human body in particular is what amazes me. I'm in love with its perfectly chaotic order, its logic and intelligence. So beautiful! I think that's why I became a biology teacher. I love to teach about the human body, to talk about its beauty, and to draw it on the blackboard. I draw a lot. I've always been drawing, since I was very little. If I am happy, if I am sad, I just turn to the paper: drawing is my remedy, my hideaway. When as a kid my parents had to take me to a party or a meeting, we always had a box of pencils and paper with us. They just put me down in a corner, and I was fine, for hours.

G'day, mates: Dodgers, Diamondbacks check out Sydney site
SYDNEY — The Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers arrived to a very low-key welcome in Australia on Tuesday for their Major League Baseball season-opening series this weekend after 15-hour flights from the U.S. West Coast.
The Diamondbacks arrived first at Sydney airport about 6 a.m. local time Tuesday, followed about four hours later by the Dodgers.
"It's great to be here," said Dodgers' veteran announcer Vin Scully.
WATCH: Sydney Cricket Ground transformed into baseball stadium
There were only a few autograph seekers to meet both teams, unlike recent opening-day series in Tokyo where arriving teams were mobbed by fans. Several airport travelers Tuesday asked the media who the high-profile looking arrivals were.
Within six hours of arriving, the Diamondbacks held their first light workout at Sydney Cricket Ground, where Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers in Saturday's season opener and left-hander Wade Miley replaces Patrick Corbin, who has a left elbow injury, as the Diamondbacks starter.
They'll close out the two-game series Sunday when the Dodgers' Hyun-Jin Ryu is slated to start against Arizona's Trevor Cahill.
Under sunny skies, Arizona first base coach Dave McKay was one of the first to survey the SCG diamond — 328 feet down the foul lines, 400 feet to straightaway center field.
"Looks all great," said McKay. "Although I can't believe the distance from home plate to the seats in foul territory. There's quite a bit of room there."
Manager Kirk Gibson watched the team stretch and take infield practice. Other coaches hit popups to the outfield and let them hit hard on the natural turf to determine the amount of bounce: the verdict was that there was a lot of it.
The infield dirt and sand combination was also tested, but there shouldn't be anything unfamiliar in it: the MLB-certified dirt was imported from the United States in nearly 20 shipping containers.
The Dodgers will play Team Australia in an exhibition game Thursday, with the Diamondbacks to play Australia on Friday.
The series marks the first regular-season games in Australia. Previous MLB season openers were held in Monterrey, Mexico (1999), San Juan, Puerto Rico (2001) and four times in Tokyo, most recently in 2012.
The weekend games will mark the 100th anniversary of an exhibition game played by the Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants at the Sydney Cricket Ground, won 5-4 by the White Sox before 10,000 fans on Jan. 3, 1914.
Capacity crowds of about 40,000 are expected for both games.

The Global Information Commons for Science Initiative (GICSI) is a multi-stakeholder initiative arising from the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis in November 2005, with an overall goal of accelerating the development and scaling up of open scientific data and information resources on a global basis.
The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) acknowledges the importance to the scientific endeavour of full and equitable access to scientific information. It therefore warmly endorses the goals of the Initiative, and supports the proposed implementation, subject to a sound business model and effective management by its participating stakeholders.
The IUCr recognises the Initiative's strong emphasis on the principle of open availability as an ideal medium of dissemination for publicly funded research findings and data. However, the IUCr itself is one among many organizations that provide high-quality value-added publishing and data services, historically funded through subscriptions, direct sales and other commercially mediated mechanisms. Although the IUCr is experimenting with various routes towards open availability, it is not clear that this can always be achieved, or that it is invariably the best solution.
The IUCr's continuing and proposed contributions to fostering a global information commons through its publishing and data activities include:
The IUCr proposes to work in support of the organizations on which it is directly represented (ICSU, CODATA, ICSTI) to realise the goals of GICSI in a manner which is sustainable within the IUCr's approach to publishing, data collection, organisation, curation and archiving.
A position paper providing further details of the IUCr response to the Global Information Commons for Science Initiative is available from the IUCr web site at http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/iucr/gicsi/

½ t baking soda
¼ t salt
¾ cup sour cream
1 egg

Clerkship Phase
The Clerkship Phase is designed as a continuum of two calendar years. Throughout the required clerkships students rotate in cohort groups of approximately 28 students.
Transition to Clinical Practice
Transition to Clinical Practice is a one-week course delivered just prior to starting the clerkship phase of the Keck School of Medicine curriculum. The course is designed to prepare students for the transition from largely classroom-based instruction in Years I/II to learning while providing care as active members of a healthcare team. The course culminates in students donning a white coat and a group recitation of the Hippocratic Oath to reinforce the commitment to professional principles as they transition to their new roles as student physicians.
Required Clerkships
There are nine required clerkships in the Year III/IV continuum: Family Medicine (6 weeks), General Surgery (6 weeks), Internal Medicine (6 weeks), Neurology (4 weeks), Obstetrics and Gynecology (6 weeks), Pediatrics (6 weeks), Psychiatry (6 weeks), Internal Medicine Sub-Internship (4 weeks), Surgery Sub-Internship (4 or 6 weeks). All required clerkships ensure that students directly participate in the delivery of care and learn as integral members of healthcare teams. Each clerkship exposes students to diverse patient populations with a wide range of medical conditions. Required clerkships are graded Honors, High Pass, Pass or Fail.
Family Medicine 6 weeks
The Family Medicine Clerkship provides students with individualized opportunities for medical students to explore the breadth of family medicine and understand the role of a family physician. Students will care for patients across the full spectrum of ages within the context of an ongoing personal patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care. This clerkship offers students a close, collegial relationship with their preceptors as they address preventive care, acute and chronic illness, and mental health in the outpatient setting. In addition to outpatient clinic, students may participate in home visits, hospital rounds, nursing home rounds, obstetrical deliveries, volunteer clinics, or sporting events to ensure experiences that cover the breadth of family medicine practice.
General Surgery 6 weeks
The Surgery Clerkship provides students with experiences in caring for patients with common general surgery diagnoses and traumatic injuries. These patients range in age from infants to geriatric patients. The students are integral members of an inpatient team consisting of a faculty attending, a fellow, a senior resident, several junior residents, one to two interns and three to four 3rd year students. All student activities revolve around perioperative care. Students participate in the operating room and are active in doing surgical consults, seeing patients in the clinic, and rounding daily with their inpatient teams.
Internal Medicine 6 weeks
The Internal Medicine Clerkship provides students with a comprehensive experience in hospital medicine. The clerkship exposes students to a diverse patient population with a wide range of medical conditions and students become familiar with the role that hospitalists play in providing inpatient care. While a member of the medical, team students gain experience managing complicated medical conditions, interacting with consulting services, and developing specific disposition plans for individual patient needs.
Obstetrics and Gynecology 6 weeks
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship provides students the opportunity to interact with women in all stages of life, from adolescence through and beyond menopause. Students experience a variety of obstetrical and gynecological conditions in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Students gain an understanding of the primary care mission within obstetrics and gynecology in the outpatient segment, and the inpatient experience provides an exposure to the dynamic aspects of birth, obstetric and gynecologic surgeries and emergencies.
Pediatrics 6 weeks
The Pediatric Clerkship addresses issues unique to newborns, infants, children, and adolescents by focusing on the health and well-being of the developing human, emphasizing growth and development, principles of health supervision, and recognition and treatment of common health problems. Additionally, the clerkship emphasizes the importance of the interaction of family, community, and society on the complete health of the patient. The role of the pediatrician in prevention of disease and injury, and the importance of collaboration between the pediatrician, other health professions, and the family is emphasized.
Psychiatry 6 weeks
The Psychiatry Clerkship provides students with experiences engaging in the care of patients in a number of different treatment settings, including inpatient wards, the psychiatric emergency room, outpatient clinics, and hospital-based consultation services. Students are exposed to pathology ranging from uncomplicated depression and anxiety disorders to severely decompensated psychotic disorders. Students learn in detail about the BioPsychoSocial model and a holistic approach to treatment of mental illness, including the use of both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, and the importance of individualized social interventions. The integration of psychiatry into the broader field of medicine is emphasized, as is the use of bioethical concepts in the treatment of all patients.
Neurology 4 weeks
The Neurology Clerkship provides students with experiences interacting with patients of different ages that have damage to the nervous system of varying types and degrees. Many neurological disorders are insidious in onset with gradual deterioration over time. Students learn to appreciate that neurologic diseases may impair physical functioning and/or can alter the core of what defines individuals as a person, i.e., cognition, memory, and personality. Students learn how to evaluate and treat these patients and their families. Furthermore, because many patients are followed for extended periods of time, students learn how neurologic disease affect, and may restrict, one's lifestyle choices, family interactions, work, school, living situations, and levels of activity.
Internal Medicine Sub-internship 4 weeks
The Internal Medicine Sub-Internship enables Year IV students to work directly with attending physicians and residents in the provision of patient care in an inpatient, sub-internship experience. Students are integral members and contributors to the patient care team and assume an advanced level of responsibility under the supervision of the resident and attending physician.
Surgical Subspecialty 4 or 6 weeks
The Surgical Subspecialty clerkship experience is either 4 or 6 weeks depending on the year of training in which the student participates. During Year III, students are assigned to two sub-specialties for three weeks each. Students taking this clerkship during year IV are assigned to one surgical sub-specialty for four weeks. Possible services include: Anesthesiology, Breast/Soft Tissue/Endocrine, Burn Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Hepatobiliary Transplant, Neurosurgery, Orthopedic Trauma Surgery, Orthopedic Hand Surgery, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Pediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Spine Surgery, Urology, and Vascular Surgery.
Intersessions I and II
The Intersession I and II courses are each one-week sessions delivered in the fall and spring between required clerkships. The courses enable students to pause, reflect and consolidate the many and varied clinical/educational experiences in which they participate during Year III. The sessions provide experiences in advanced clinical skills, professional development, evidence-based medicine, patient safety and quality, health policy, ethical decision-making, the business of medicine and the residency application process.
Selective Clerkships
Students are required to complete 16 weeks of selective clerkships chosen from a list of four-week clerkships approved by the Years III/IV Curriculum Committee and Medical Education Curriculum Committee (MECC). Selective clerkships are always exactly four continuous weeks and are under the direction of USC faculty members at USC affiliated hospitals and encompass virtually all specialty and subspecialty areas. Students are required to take one critical care or acute care (emergency medicine) selective, a medicine or pediatric subspecialty rotation, and two additional selectives from the above designations or other specialties.
Elective Clerkships
In addition to the required clerkships, students are required to complete 30 weeks of elective clerkships. All students must complete a number of four-week clerkships focused on critical care or acute care (emergency medicine), and medicine or pediatric subspecialties. There is substantial flexibility for students to individualize their curricula and to explore fields in which they have interest to determine their future career paths. Students may complete clinical rotations at the Keck School of Medicine, other medical schools, or other medical centers in the U.S. or abroad. Students may also conduct up to 8 weeks of research.
Track Mentor Program
The KSOM Year III Track Mentor Program capitalizes on the KSOM structure of student cohorts to promote the continued development of professional attributes and a positive learning environment. Each Year III student cohort group meets with their assigned mentor (who has no involvement in the evaluation process) and peer mentor six to seven times during the academic year. The mentors facilitate discussions on topics such as professional development; ethical, professional, and cultural challenges; student health and wellbeing; and collaboration and team development.

Hi again! Here is the second part of my evolving manicure. There will be one more step tomorrow.
As I said in my last post, Cirque Colors released two, three piece sets that were found only at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Exclusively for The Costume Institute exhibition Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. This polish is from the Manus Collection.
Cirque Colors Pret-a-Porter is a white with pink shimmer. Indoors the shimmer adds a great glow to the nail and in bright light it really pops out. Formula was really good. I added two coats of this over my two coats of Ultrasonic, so it was getting a little thick on the nail, but went on very easily.
You can click on the individual photos below to enlarge them.

Well, there we have it!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
The polish in this post is from my own collection and was purchased by me.

What kind of life can they expect there? Probably one without too many of the gifts and donations made by large corporations to the McCaugheys. Bobbi, who was catapulted to stardom in the week following the birth, has apparently eschewed the likes of Proctor, Gamble and both the Johnsons. "If they have too much of anything, they want to give it away to others that need it," said mother-in-law Val. "Bobbi has said, 'I don't deserve all these gifts. I just want my babies.'"
Meanwhile, one gift that just keeps on giving � media attention � has started to seep through the walls of the humble McCaughey abode. Two-year-old Mikayla, the septuplets' elder sister, "shrieked with joy" when she saw her grandmother reading a pile of magazines with her parents' faces on the cover. Next question: What did Newsweek do to mommy's teeth?

– Ram Dass
I was vice-president of resort marketing for Hyatt Hotels. When you work in a job like this, you quickly realize that lots of people want to sell you things. People are constantly trying to get appointments with you, because they have discovered the secrets to filling hotel rooms, attracting big-spender golfers or becoming THE place for destination weddings. I was on many people's list of promising leads.
I agreed to this meeting because the person who asked to see me had an intriguing marketing idea and came highly recommended by a colleague. I greeted him in the lobby, and as we walked back to my office he began talking, telling me about his idea and how he had developed it. He was passionate about his idea and was clearly very excited to be talking about it. As we sat down in my office, he kept talking and, without missing a beat, opened his briefcase to pull out a bound presentation book that described his company, his product and his novel idea. He started walking me through his presentation when it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't spoken one word since we first said hello in the lobby.
Normally, this kind of situation would make me antsy and impatient, but this time I decided to go with the flow to see how long he would keep talking. As he continued, I noted that his idea was very interesting, but it was clear that he didn't understand my business or the issues I was facing. He was telling me how he could help Hyatt Resorts, but he didn't know what Hyatt Resorts needed from him. I began to lose interest.
After about 25 minutes of non-stop talking, he finished, asking, "So, what do you think?"
"Well, I'll have to think about it. Why don't you leave your materials, and I'll show them to my team and we'll get back to you."
He looked disappointed. "Did I miss anything important?"
"I'm not sure," I answered. "Let me think about it."
Here's what I could have said (but didn't): "The only thing you missed is the target. If you walk into a dark room and throw a dart, it's a one in a million chance you'll hit a bulls-eye."
With only a little bit of information from me, he could have adjusted his story and made it more relevant for me. But he wasn't interested in getting information from me, only in giving information to me. So he missed the target.
By missing the target he missed the chance to connect with me and my business. My reaction was "I'll have to think about it" and "we'll get back to you," because his monologue didn't help me see how he could help me.
As anyone who has read this newsletter will have noticed, I am fascinated by the lessons that salespeople can learn from stage improvisers. I am writing about this in my forthcoming book, Ditch the Pitch. Recently I asked Charna Halpern, the founder of the iO theater in Chicago and Los Angeles (formerly ImprovOlympic), what makes for great improvisation, and the first thing she said, without hesitation, is, "The ability to really listen, actively listen, and build on each other's ideas."
Notice that she didn't say anything about being funny, or clever, or witty. She talked about input, not about output. Charna Halpern, a highly-successful comedy entrepreneur, explained that the key to one of the most interesting forms of comedy is listening, not talking.
Imagine if this sales person had understood Charna's wisdom. He would have ensured that I talked more than he did, and he would have listened intently to what I said, seeking out the reasons that I would want to use his product. He would haveditched the pitch to create a unique conversation with me, based on the unique way that he and I could work together.
If he had said less, not only would he have learned more about how to sell me, I would also have enjoyed the conversation more. Peter and Susan Glaser write in their book, Be Quiet, Be Heard, that people who speak more than 51% of the time during a conversation tend to be more satisfied with the conversation. You can notice this principle in your personal life: Watch people on the receiving end of a monologue. How many of them are enjoying themselves?
Every moment you are talking during a sales conversation is a moment you are not listening to your customer. You are listening to yourself. You are missing the chance to be alert and notice things that customize the conversation to this customer, at this very moment.
Our voices get in the ways of our ears, as the Ram Dass quote above suggests. "The quieter you become, the more you can hear." And, the more you hear, the more you can sell.

You are a brand new pilot, and frankly, youre not very good. Although you know how to set a flight plan, you havent learned how to make course corrections in flight. So in order to land safely on an aircraft carrier, you must aim at the right spot from the beginning, since you can only fly in a straight line. Because the earth is rotating, to plot a safe course, you must allow for the Coriolis Effect.
Your mission is to make good landings on the ship no matter where it is stationed. Choose one of three spots to aim at, then click on that spot to take off. Keep trying from different approaches until you get the hang of it. Remember the Coriolis Effect, and Good Luck!

In a letter dated March 31, 1776, Abigail Adams writes to her husband, John Adams, urging him and the other members of the Continental Congress not to forget about the nation's women when fighting for America's independence from Great Britain.
The future First Lady wrote in part, "I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation."
Nearly 150 years before the House of Representatives voted to pass the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote, Adams letter was a private first step in the fight for equal rights for women. Recognized and admired as a formidable woman in her own right, the union of Abigail and John Adams persists as a model of mutual respect and affection; they have since been referred to as "America's first power couple." Their correspondence of over 1,000 letters written between 1762 and 1801 remains in the Massachusetts Historical Society and continues to give historians a unique perspective on domestic and political life during the revolutionary era.
Abigail bore six children, of whom five survived. Abigail and John's eldest son, John Quincy Adams, served as the sixth president of the United States. Only two women, Abigail Adams and Barbara Bush, have been both wives and mothers of American presidents.

Registry Cleaner
If your computer starts to run less efficiently over time, one of the reasons could be Windows Registry errors. Some versions of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, ME, and NT/2000, use a database called the Windows Registry to store settings and options. The registry contains settings and information for all of the preferences, users, software, and hardware for your computer. All changes made to installed software, file associations and Control Panel settings are stored in the Windows Registry. For your computer to work at maximum efficiency, using a registry cleaner such as Registry Mechanic on a regular basis is essential. Registry Mechanic cleans your Windows Registry and helps return your PC to, and keep it at, the optimum performance it experienced when it was new.
Windows Registry errors occur when entries in the registry become corrupted, abandoned, or are simply no longer correct. People who use their PC often and for a variety of reasons are apt to be installing and uninstalling applications regularly, and keys can become invalidated. A registry key is used to store a setting for a specific application. As files are switched or moved around, new registry keys are stored in the Windows Registry – but the old or invalid keys are still there. Eventually the Windows Registry becomes bogged down with keys, and it takes your PC longer to sort through the invalid registry keys and find the valid ones – hence the slowing down of your entire system. This can be likened to you saving all of the old papers and memos that you use at work and keeping them in the same pile as the newer and more relevant paperwork. The bigger the pile gets, the more papers you have to search through to find the right ones, and the more time it takes to find them.
If Windows Registry errors are not addressed, it can affect more than just the speed at which your computer performs. Eventually your computer will suffer stalls and begin experiencing crashes on a regular basis. Important files can be lost or corrupted due to this, further compounding the problem. Jumping in and trying to fix your Windows Registry manually is not recommended, since it is a fragile system, and even one incorrect change made to the registry can result in your computer being rendered inoperable. At that point your only remaining option might be to have the operating system restored along with any other applications that you might have installed which can be extremely costly.
A good registry cleaner works by detecting the data in your Windows Registry that is obsolete or invalid. Although the registry cleaner will not automatically remove files, as this could be potentially damaging to your PC, it will remove invalid Windows Registry entries. A good registry cleaner will scan your computer, set possible invalid or corrupt keys into a separate file, and alert you of what it found. It can help you clean your Windows Registry of files and entries that are no longer needed and even help you decide which ones can safely be deleted.
Cleaning up your Windows Registry errors is a tricky issue, and an efficient Windows Registry cleaner can take you through it step by step so that no mistakes are made.Registry Mechanic is a trustworthy Windows Registry cleaner that can make the process of cleaning your registry worry-free, and help your computer return to a healthy and efficient state of operation. For many people, their computers are an important part of their work and/or their communication with friends and family, as well as an essential source of information and information storage. Having a computer that meets your needs in a timely and efficient manner is important, and Registry Mechanic can make sure that your computer is working properly whenever you use it.

Educational Programme for Housing Managers
In August 2012 work on designing the new educational programme for housing managers was finished. In October, the course entitled "Housing stock management in Slovakia" was accredited by the Ministry of Education, Research and Sport.
The aim of the programme is professionalization of the housing management in Slovakia. The participants will gain the knowledge necessary for the housing operations management. Special emphasis is on gaining practical knowledge and skills in the field of economy, renewal and modernisation, successful communication with clients/residents and globally on raising the quality of housing management
The educational programme reflects the outputs of the international project "Efficiency Analysis of Housing Administration in Slovakia" and its content was prepared in close cooperation with its future customers, primarily with the Association of Housing Management in Slovakia, Slovak Union of Housing Cooperatives and Association of the condominiums in Slovakia.
The programme reflects also the new law on conditions of housing management, which is currently being prepared by the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development of the Slovak Republic.

Welcome! I have been thinking for some time about my own blog. My husband and I post photos and commentary to our family blog, we have many friends and family elsewhere, but decided after much research that I needed my own blog. This corresponds with my new etsy shop. Check it out!
I have been a busy bee lately getting things put together for etsy – a little trial and error. I had a ton of raw silk fabric from our wedding and decided that totes would be super cute and a little bit luxurious. So far I am waiting for more people to take notice, I think I need to work on my pictures a bit more – like I said trial and error. So I have moved on. =)
I have been quilting! I have made quilts for my kids, my niece, and I have not made one for myself – until now. I was eagerly awaiting the arrive of the Posh collection – I fell in love with it in December, it finally was available (two weeks ago) and I have mine. I just love it, and being able to sit at my machine with it – while the kids sleep of course – has been bliss! Let me know what you think.
I have a very sweet baby/little girl bracelet design that I have not seen anywhere on etsy so I will be working on making a few of those and then wait for them to be noticed.
Stay Tuned!
PS – Leave Comments – I would love to hear from you.

Rhode Island car accident victims have the right to file a lawsuit against at-fault drivers to recover the costs of their injuries. However, it is important to understand the different kinds of payments available in order to get full compensation for the crash.
Types of Damages Awarded in a Rhode Island Crash Case
Once all of your injuries have healed—or a doctor has determined the likely outcome of your injuries—you can begin to accurately calculate the amount of your damages. Some damages such as lost income and medical costs will be easier to calculate than others.
Your attorney should carefully determine how much you are owed for your:
- Medical costs. You should add up all medical expenses incurred after the accident from the emergency room to continued follow-up care. Your attorney should also consider the potential costs of future medical care, including any surgeries, procedures, physical rehabilitation, psychiatric care, and other treatment.
- Loss of income. Your income losses should include any wages you have lost as a result of the injury (including the time you spent in the ER and lost opportunities such as overtime and bonuses), as well as the future income you will lose due to a partial or total disability that will affect your ability to work.
- Property damage. If your vehicle needed to be repaired or replaced as a result of the crash, your compensation should include the cost to replace the vehicle and any other property that was damaged in the accident.
- Out-of-pocket costs. Many victims will suffer unforeseen expenses due to the result of an accident. These can include modifying their home to accommodate a disability, visiting nursing care, hiring help with lawn care or snow removal, and holistic treatments not covered by insurance.
- Death benefits. If someone was killed as a result of a car accident, family members have the right to file a lawsuit to recover damages in a wrongful death case.
- Pain and suffering. Pain and suffering is an amount awarded to compensate the victim for intangible losses such as trauma, depression, mental anguish, and coping with the daily physical limitations caused by the crash.
If you need help after a car accident, contact Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum via our online contact form to schedule an initial consultation with an injury attorney at no cost to you.

Program Overview
Electrical Technology is a program that provides instruction to develop basic electrician skills, technical knowledge and related occupational information to prepare you for initial employment in the electrical trade.

Throughout the program, instruction will include class work, shop projects, and on-the-job service work.
The actual hands-on training is very essential because it allows you to learn by gaining job experience combined with the related technical information.

Click link below to print out calendar. Summer 2019 calendar (1) … READ MORE
You can find Story Times, educational toys and computers in the Children's area, along with AWE Early Learning stations offering digital literacy programs for pre-K and elementary schoolers. Teens ages 12 – 18 have both a Mac and PC computer available in the Teen Room, along with Kindle Fires available for use in the Library. We have a very active calendar of events for all ages. Be sure to check our Events Calendar for our latest offerings!
The fundamental keys for the development of lifelong learners are reading aloud and reading for enjoyment. Especially in young children, quantity trumps quality in terms of building reading fluency. For that reason, we offer a Summer Reading Program and a Winter Reading Challenge each year at three levels—toddlers though teens.
Drop In Story Time
Drop In Story Time
Wii U gaming is available in the Teen Room on Friday afternoons and Saturdays. Other times are available at the discretion and availability of staff. Students must be age 9 or older to use the WiiU.
Our Story Times employ techniques aimed at developing Early Literacy skills and enabling caregivers to reinforce the same skills at home. We are avid proponents of reading aloud to children, long past the time they have learned to read themselves. This improves listening skills, attention span, fluency, increases vocabulary and develops a love for story. These are all skills necessary for a successful school transition.
We have AWE Early Learning Stations which offer educational programming for ages 2 - 12 and PC and Mac computers for use by students age 12-18. We have a sizable collection of ebooks, downloadable audio books, books on CD and PlayAway Views which offer portable audiovisual stories.

In our report The Autism Dividend – Reaping the Rewards of Better Investment we not only set out our recommendations for improving the lives of autistic people through investing in evidence-based practice and high quality research, we also commit to inviting a range of authors to tell us about the future they would like to see, setting out a vision of what could be achieved if our recommendations are indeed taken up. Our aim is to publish a series of essays throughout 2017 and by the end of the year to have addressed all the recommendations in the report so that a strong picture emerges of what The Autism Dividend really looks like.
Our first contributor is Dame Stephanie Shirley explaining why her foundation set up the National Autism Project and what she personally hopes it will achieve.
If you have any comments you would like to make in response to these short essays please send them to email@example.com. We will select and publish those which we believe at our own discretion contribute positively to this discussion.

WACC participants at the AMARC conference in Ghana. Photo: Lorenzo Vargas.
The WACC delegation comprised staff, project partners, and members who brought a wealth of knowledge and experience in the area of communication rights and community radio to AMARC 11.
Coming from places as diverse as Paraguay, Uganda, and Bangladesh, the members of the WACC delegation made an important contribution to the conference, which focused on the relationship between community-based communication, sustainable development, and well-being.
The delegation was led by Lavinia Mohr, WACC's Director of Programs and Deputy General Secretary, and Lorenzo Vargas, WACC's Community Radio Program Administrator.
AMARC 11, co-organized by the AMARC General Secretariat and the Ghana Community Radio Network (GCRN), celebrated the transformative power of community radio. It was a unique opportunity for the strengthening of the community radio movement.
The Conference was a much-needed platform for knowledge exchange, collective reflection, and planning to ensure that the community communication movement is able to adapt to changing technologies, audiences, and agendas.
Some of the key topics discussed during the conference were gender and communication, communication efforts in support of family farming, the role of youth within the community radio movement, the imperative for community radio stations to embrace new ICT in order to remain relevant, and media regulation and legislation at national and international levels, among others.
The AMARC Assembly, which elected a new International Board of Directors and adopted a number of new policies, was also held during AMARC 11. Representatives of two of WACC's corporate members were elected (Adeline Nsimire of SAMWAKI (Voice of Rural Women) in Democratic Republic of Congo and Marie Guyrleine Justin of REFRAKA (Haiti Community Radio Women's Network) in Haiti.
From WACC's perspective, AMARC11 was opportunity to strengthen its global network and to derive valuable insights to enhance our work. The conference was also an occasion to gather feedback on WACC's Strengthening Community Radio program in light of upcoming discussions to draft a new strategic plan for WACC.
WACC was also happy to receive membership applications from three new corporate members during AMARC 11: the Community Media Network of Uganda (COMNETU), the Lubombo Community Multimedia Centre from Swaziland, and Japexunk from Mexico.
To learn more about WACC's work in the area of community radio, please contact Lorenzo Vargas at firstname.lastname@example.com
