He was raised in Chicago and began his university career studying Industrial Design on scholarship at the University of Illinois. His love of drawing and painting took him to the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, where he completed his BFA in Illustration/Design. He then returned to Chicago to study painting at The Art Institute of Chicago and began work as a professional mural painter and union carpenter. Ultimately, he created a business with his family, which created custom children's furniture, and fully realized children's rooms featuring bunk beds, dressers, bookshelves and floor to ceiling murals.

The story so far:
"Things Not Made To Open - Prologue" -> (66 skipped) -> "Things Not Made To Open - 66" -> "Things Not Made To Open - 67"
Things Not Made TO Open - 68
by scryier
I get to Maria's the next afternoon.
Maria answers the door. She invites me in, but I don't get through the front hall because Koa is approaching me. She steps in front of me, lifting herself up on the tips of her toes and kisses me.
She takes my hand in hers and says, "come on. Let's go."
Maria is grinning.
Koa starts for the front door, but doesn't get very far because she's holding my hand and I'm not moving.
"Wait a minute! I just got here. Would somebody tell me what's going on?"
"Nothing's going on," Maria says, but I can't help thinking otherwise. In the 20 years I've known Koa, she's been about as affectionate as a dead fish. Sleeping with the girl has done nothing to change that.
I turn my gaze on Koa.
"Where's your jacket?"
I realize it's spring outside and there's really no reason for Koa to have a jacket, but she had a jacket when I brought her here and she habitually forgets everything that isn't attached to her and I don't want to get all the way back to Brooklyn, only to be told by Koa that she forgot her jacket, in which case we have to turn around and go all the way back to Queens, to get it.
Maria's eyes are darting from Koa to me and back to Koa, again.
"Ah, Ben. I lost it."
I look at Maria and then I look back at Koa.
"What do you mean, you lost it?"
"Maria took me out Friday night and I set it down on a bar
stool and never brought it home."
I wonder how much I spent on the jacket. I wonder how much I'm going to have to spend on the next jacket and then I wonder why I even bother.
"That's not the worst of it," Maria says.
Koa let's go of my hand.
"We called the bar as soon as we got home," Maria adds. "Someone must have took it."
"And?" I'm looking at Koa, now. I know there's more.
There has to be more. I just haven't figured it out, yet.
"I lost the 175 dollars."
"You what?!?"
"It was in the jacket, Ben. I didn't mean to lose it."
"I don't believe this."
And yet, I do believe this.
Koa never knows where she puts anything. She loses everything.
"You called the bar?"
"I called the bar," Maria says. "I'm going to call them again on Monday. Somebody probably took it. You know, thought it was their's? Maybe they'll bring it back."
"Okay. Fine." I say.
What else am I going to say? What's done is done and there's no undoing it.
"Let's go."
"The clothes," Maria says.
"Oh yeah, Ben. Maria gave me two shopping bags fulls of summer clothes to take to Florida. They're really nice. Let me go get them."
Koa runs down the hall.
"I'm so sorry," Maria says. "You know how she gets. I should have paid closer attention to her, last night."
I'm staring at Maria, as she tells me this and it occurs to me, she's the one sister I never took the time to get to know. A part of me wonder's if she isn't lying.
Koa returns with two big bags full of clothes. I take them from her and we go home. We stop at a video store in the neighborhood and we go home.
Monday afternoon, I go back to the bank. I take out another 200 dollars. I pick Koa up at the house and drive her back to her apartment. She pays the landlord, picks up her mail and I drop her at Lorraine's.
Later that night, at my house, Koa comes clean.
"Call Maria and see if she's called the bar."
"Aw, Ben. I can't do this. I've never lied to you about anything before. I can't start now."
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't lose the jacket."
"So what happened to the money?"
Koa casts her eyes over the floor. She looks crushed.
"I blew it."
"On what?"
"Crack. We bought a little and then a little more and then a little more and then we didn't have anymore money."
She looks up at me and grabs my hands. "I'm so sorry, Ben. I can't believe I did it. I don't deserve to have you as a friend."
"Maria smokes crack?"
I knew Koa had indulged in crack. I thought Koa was living proof that the instant addiction theory was a crock. She'd been living here for six months and I'd only seen her smoke it once, which goes to show you how stupid I can be. Eventually it occurs to me why she'd been spending so much of her time with Renee.
"Is there anything else you've ever lied to me about, Koa? If there is, this is the time to tell me. I'm about to sink a lot of money into a move and I'm doing it because I believe in our friendship. Whatever else has changed; whatever direction this has taken on, we were friends and I don't intend to forget that; do you?"
"All right. Your landlord is paid, the money is gone and there isn't anything that can undo it. I'll forget about it this time, but I don't ever want it to happen again."
Koa puts her arms around me.
"I'm so sorry, Ben. I'm so sorry."
I put my arms around her.
"Forget it, Koa."
Koa holds me tighter than I have ever been held before and I begin to wonder what it is about the girl, that possesses me to put up with this ****. She's a **** up. She's always only been a **** up. Am I in love with her? I don't think I'm in love with her. We're friends. It seems like we've been friends forever and yet, at times like these, I'm not sure she's ever really been my friend, at all. She's so weak; so insecure. Is there a bond between us? Or, am I making the biggest mistake of my life?

Taganga has its share of beachfront cafes and bars to enjoy a drink while watching the sunset but they are on the other side of the street and walkway so not quite as good as actually sitting on the beach. We did not stop in but I would imagine they are pricey as we did what most people seemed to be doing and that was buying our beers at the small shops along the beachfront that specialized in doing just that. You could get a wide variety of beverages and even "hard" alcohol. One Aguila beer and a ginger ale (D tummy not perfect yet!) was 4100 COP (a little over $2) was definitely more than we were paying in Santa Marta. At any rate, it was a cheap "night out" for us and the beach was not as crowded as it might have been though not as secluded as you might want it. The sunset was gorgeous, framed perfected by swaying palms.
Dress Code:
Even in the evening it remained warm enough for t-shirts. Nice. :)
There's plenty of nightlife in Taganga... lous music is played all night and there seem to be regular party on the beach - though the crowd is always very drunk AND very intoxicated with illegal substances. We happily gave it a miss.
What we could not give a miss to were the wonderful sunsets that could be admired from the beach... perfect sunsets in a less than perfect place.
Dress Code:
No one cares what you wear. Do as you wish.
There is just one bar/nightclub in Taganga - El Garage (yes, the name comes from its location as a former garage). The drinks are cheap, there is not admission fee, the music is great, there's plenty of room for dancing and the atmosphare is cool. This is the place to go to, if you want to experience local culture at its best. It's just a regular hang-out place for all the active people in the village.
Dress Code:
Absolutely anything from a bathing suit to a regular suit, from bare feet to dancing shoes - anything goes.

John Powers has written fine and insightful articles on U.S. policies, especially since 9/11. Thus, I am puzzled by his uncritical stance in "Visible Men" [On, February 22–28] on Colin Powell, someone who's benefited from mass media that have refused to examine Powell's record, e.g., on Vietnam, Iran-contra, Panama and the Persian Gulf War. The carefully crafted image of Powell as soldier-statesman is contradicted by the facts. Few know that the then-Major Colin Powell helped to suppress the inquiry into the 1968 My Lai massacre. When ordered to investigate the killings and rapes, Powell concluded that while there might have been some "isolated incidents" of abuse, there were no widespread atrocities in Vietnam, and that relations between Americans and Vietnamese were "excellent." How could he be so wrong on My Lai and the Vietnam War and yet be trusted on contemporary world conflicts? His style may be different from Bush's and Rumsfeld's, but in essence all three are architects of imperialist economic and military policies that bring death and devastation to Africans, Asians and Latin Americans.
Powell has advised and pursued policies that violate international law, human rights and the Constitution. As assistant to former Pentagon boss Casper Weinberger during the Reagan administration, he was involved in the illegal and unconstitutional Iran-contra affair and perjured himself before Congress. He later persuaded former President Bush to pardon Weinberger for the latter's involvement in Iran-contra. Then, in 1989, after Powell urged Bush to invade Panama under the pretext of bringing Manuel Noriega, formerly on the CIA payroll, to justice, thousands of Panamanians were killed. And he was a key figure in the Gulf War slaughter that left perhaps 150,000 Iraqi troops dead. To this day he supports the U.S.-led U.N. embargo that has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children since 1991.
Given the recent attention to human rights because of charges against former Chilean President Augusto Pinochet and Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, and the efforts to question Henry Kissinger about his role in the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile by Pinochet, why have the mass media refused to examine Powell's involvement in war crimes? Americans who advocate human rights and international law and oppose tyrants such as Milosevic and Pinochet cannot ignore the tyranny of our own leaders, even those who, like Powell, get kid-glove treatment. No leader is above the law when it comes to human rights and murder; there must be a single standard in such matters. If Milosevic and Pinochet can be charged with crimes against humanity, then justice and truth demand that Powell have his day in court as well.
—John Marciano
I was very disappointed to find a sensationalistic article such as Christine Pelisek and Charles Rappleye's "Pet Shop Murder" in the L.A. Weekly [February 22–28]. "Fraud, the Mob and the Aluminum King," said the cover, preparing the reader for a New York–style Mafia story. On the next page, in the Contents section, the words "Armenian crime scene," used in the same sentence with "massive rip-offs from the $450 million state recycling program," make you think, "Hey, this is big stuff." But as you read more, you can't help but be disappointed — that the story isn't as juicy as you expected; that a wannabe Mafioso bringing aluminum cans from across the state, who lives in a modest house with his wife and mother, hardly qualifies as an "aluminum king"; that a publication that I used to respect has sunk to the level of the Channel 13 News; that you go back to 1999 and choose this story as the first major story you do about the 60,000 Armenians living in Los Angeles — "the anonymous immigrant population," as you refer to them.
If the Armenian population were anonymous to your readers, wouldn't you serve them better by doing a story that paints not an overly positive or optimistic picture of the Armenian community, but a realistic one, of a community less than 1 percent of which (according to your own article) are involved in illegal activities, a population whose overwhelming majority are hard-working, law-abiding, taxpaying Americans. There are many stories out there. Choosing which one to tell is what separates Jerry Springer from Charlie Rose.
—Garik Gyurjyan
I was curious about why a story about criminal corruption was so concerned with Sarkis Antonyan's "heavily oiled hair," then taken aback by the writers' interest in "his long, broad nose." True discomfort set in when I learned that "Like so many ambitious immigrants before him, he shunned the prospect of menial work . . . living by his wits on the far side of the law." Media such as the Weekly have so often given me an alternative to Rush Limbaugh– and Pat Robertson–like rhetoric. That is why reading â such an article, in these tense times, both angered and saddened me.
"Where can I take Grandma to Sunday brunch by the sea?" reads question No. 39 in your Winter Restaurants 2002 guide [February 8–14]. The Weekly recommends One Pico, located in the luxurious Shutters Hotel. But if Grandma has a social conscience, she'll chew you out. As reported previously in the pages of the Weekly, Shutters is the leader of the hotel-backed campaign to derail Santa Monica's living-wage law. First it spent tens of thousands of dollars to try to pass a fake living-wage referendum, called "Prop. KK," which was defeated by 79 percent of Santa Monica's voters. Now it has poured more thousands into qualifying a repeal of the living-wage ordinance on the November ballot.

Tickets go on-sale this Thursday, December 20th
Californian band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have announced details of a show in Dublin's Academy, slated for March 11th next year. The garage rock outfit last played on this island almost exactly two years ago, again at the Academy.
The band's as-yet-untitled new album, their first since 2010's Beat The Devil's Tattoo, is slated for release next year. Since the band's debut release in 2001 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have released six albums all to critical acclaim, released two live DVD's including 2010's 'Live in London' and saw them tour across the world.
On the new album and tour dates, lead singer Robert Levon said:
"This album has taken every last ounce of us to bring to life, and if it wasn't for you guys keeping us going, we don't know if it would've ever seen the light of day. It's going to be a joyful day indeed when we get to see you all again and share these songs with you. Peter, Leah and myself are dying to get out of this studio right now and back into the fight. It's taken us a long while getting back on our feet, but the time has come."

Hotel Blackfoot Ad: Parody or Bad?
As submitted by an anonymous reader:
I couldn't tell if this was trying to be a parody or if it's actually this bad.
I want to think it's a parody, I find it hard to believe that someone would seriously come with such a bad commercial. Here are some examples of good ads on hawaii vacation hotels, you don't need to work hard for it, you just have to be inspired.
I would certainly agree with you that the commercial doesn't do the hotel very much justice. They may want to re-think this one?

Geometry lies at the core of modern mathematics with deep and wide
implications in all other mathematical disciplines. In the last decade
there has been an extraordinary confluence of ideas in mathematics and
theoretical physics brought about by pioneering discoveries in geometry
and analysis. Geometry pervades modern technology (medical imaging and
information security being two well known examples).
A University Research Centre and the research arm of the Discipline of Pure Mathematics in the School of Mathematical Sciences, the Institute for Geometry and its Applications (IGA) was founded on the 7th of November 1996, in recognition of the strong group of researchers in geometry and its applications at Adelaide, with its inaugural director being Professor Michael Eastwood (MSI, ANU). The IGA organises symposia, workshops, instructional schools and regular seminars. The IGA also provides collaborative opportunities to promote research in geometry. The IGA has recently been recognized as being one of the University's Research Expertise and Strengths in the fundamental disciplines. Both in the 2010 and in the 2012 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) nationwide rankings, pure mathematics at Adelaide received an impressive score of 4 (out of 5), rating it above world standard. The IGA staff currently are researching in wide range of subjects in the area of geometry including differential, finite, complex, non-commutative and algebraic geometry together with other geometric topics in mathematical physics, partial differential equations, index theory, K-theory, moduli spaces, information security, string theory, and representation theory.

Buying Bike in Japan?
A friend has suggested starting my RTW trip by flying to Japan, purchasing a bike there, and continuing west via Vladivostok. This would seem to have some appeal as it would save the cost and hassle of shipping the bike across one ocean (I would end the trip on the west coast of the US).
Does anyone have any information about a non-citizen of Japan purchasing and riding a bike there - the legalities, procedure, etc.? Thanks for any info. Mike Idaho
Mike |
To register a motorcycle in Japan (as a foreigner), you need to go through the alien nregistration process to have a legal address to register the bike in your name. Although not 100% positive, I think you can register your self even as a temporary visitor.
You will need an "international" license plate too (local ones use Japanese characters). You can apply for one throught the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF). You get the international registration form from your Land Transport Office (Rikuunkyoku) that is in charge of your vehicle registration. To sum it up. 1. Register your self at city hall where you will have an address. At this time, get a Certification of Registered Matters (Toroku Genpyo Kisai Jiko Shomeisho). Document needed to prove your address. 2. Purchase motorcycle. The bike shop usually handles registration procedure for you. 3. Get international registration from Land Transport Office (Rikuunkyoku) 4. Get international license plate from JAF. This takes a couple weeks. 5. Have someone deregister the bike after you leave. Otherwise you (or whoever's address you are using will be billed for annual vehicles taxes). Things will be a bit more difficult if you need a carnet... I hope this helps you.

Thanks Chris, for all this very helpful info. The process seems quite complicated and I wonder how feasible it is for someone who neither reads nor speaks Japanese to negotiate their way through these steps? I don't suppose there would be any way to arrange for the international license plate in advance? Staying two weeks in one location isn't really possible for me given the overall time constraints for this trip.
I wouldn't need a carnet for Japan for a bike purchase there, would I? Japan is the only country on my proposed route that requires a carnet. Thanks again, I'm very appreciative. Mike Idaho [This message has been edited by liketoride2 (edited 05 November 2004).]

You could go without the international license plate, I guess. The intl. registration certificate is in Japanese and English. I have heard of cars with arabic plates driven in Europe, so it can't be any different.
However, I wouldn't ride a bike to Russia without riding it around Japan first. You never know what you will discover on a new bike. You don't give up the original Japanese plates, so you are free to ride around Japan as much as you want. You won't need a carnet as long as you don't bring the bike to a country that requires one.

Thanks again, Chris. One last (I hope) question on this topic - do you happen to know if Kawasaki sells the KLR 650 and Suzuki the 650 V Strom in Japan? I know the Japanese manufacturers sell some bikes in the states that they do not market in Japan, and I was wondering if that was the case with these two models.

KLR 650 and Suzuki the 650 V Strom are NOT available in Japan. Most of the big offroad bikes are imports (BMW, KTM).
You may find some reverse-imports (those registered abroad and imported to Japan), but they are fairly expensive. Africa Twin is not being sold new now, but there are plenty used ones around. There are plenty of 250cc bikes and a couple 400s.

From the info you've provided, Chris, it doesn't appear buying a bike in Japan is a viable option. But thanks anyway for posting the info, I really apprciate it.

I started a trip by flying to Tokyo and buying a second hand bike. This was ten years ago mind you. I loved shopping for second hand bikes in and around Tokyo. They are cheap, very low mileage and never ridden at speed and probably never off road.
The bad news is that they are never over 400cc (and if they are its because they are re-imported into Japan and that makes them quite expensive). Also getting them registered in Japan didnt appear easy to me, but the advice above looks pretty comprehensive. As far as the lower CC'age of the Japanese bikes go, as has been written in several other posts, its only in western countries motorways that its an issue. In most countries conditions that allow you to do more than 100 km/h are rare anyway. I have a small section in www.TokyotoLondon.com (under "equipment" on my buying secondhand bikes in Tokyo.

still thinking of buying in Japan? de-register and export the bike to russia then register the bike there. large size offroaders can be got used for about 300,000-500,000JPY DR400 and DR600 are easy to get check out
www.goobikes.com in japanese but easy to get about with come basic japanese. anybody need help or ideas for Japan send me a email Ive toured all over Japan on lots of different bikes! |
The URL above is wrong
http://www.goobike.com "bike" not "bikes" As for registering in Russia, I have heard from friends in Vladivostok that this has been done--but it is a bigger hassle than anything you could expect in Japan. At least the procedures are clear here. I do stand corrected on the big offroader prices. I wasn't thinking of used bikes. Come to think of it, you may have an easier time finding someone who understands simple English at a place that handles reverse-imports as they do business with people abroad.

Nooo! whatever you do, don't try to register a bike in Vladivostok. I was there for three weeks (a very fun three weeks, don't get me wrong) waiting for a DHL delivery of a CDI unit for my bike, but an Australian couple was there for OVER A MONTH waiting for registration to go through on a Japanese bike that they bought there that had already cleared customs and been registered before!
Buying/registering a bike in Japan is NOT as hard as Chris' steps may seem (Hi Chris! You rock!). Just like the carnet process for temp import of a bike into Japan, it sounds more complicated than it really is. The great thing about Japan is that even though a process may sound convulted, its like Chris says - at least the procedures are clear - and more importantly, no bribing, no self-important bureaucrats that show up to the office 3 times a week between the hours of 3 and 3:30 who without their all importat stamp the world is sure to come to end. Things tend to work in Japan. If I were to do my trip again, and didn't care if I had to use soft panniers (Givi is available too), a Japanese small displacement bike, etc... I would definetly buy my bike and Japan and follow Chris' steps. The money savings will more than compensate the time you will need to spend in Tokyo to settle all this. Besides, Tokyo is well worth experiencing. ------------------ Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius - William Blake

Neat. I updated my website on Japanese license plates:
http://www.tigerdude.com/japan/license/export.html that deals with the export versions. It makes sense that the JAF (equivalent of the AAA over here) handles some of these matters. As for Japan, I'm off to it. I leave Wed, for 2.5 weeks, and I'll be renting a friend's motorscooter for about 10 days. It's only 50cc, but I figure a great way to see the countryside as I like to take things in slow. If I was on anything too big, I'd be riding too fast and missing everything. The only real worry is having my International Driver's License which was very easy to get. Quote:

Has anybody recently successfully, as a foreigner, bought a bike in Japan and shipped it to Russia?
How did it go? I'm keen buying a 400cc bike (DRZ or XR) in Japan and shipping it to Russia to the ride to Magedan and Mongolia and back to Europe. This would happen in 2007. Cheers for any input, ChrisB

Just wanted to refresh this thread to see if anybody has bought a bike in Japan and been through the registration process.

A slightly random request for the e-consultancy message board...
My cousin has been working for the Halo Trust for the past year setting up a program for permanently destroying weapons in Afganistan. They are running an access database to keep track of what they have seen and put beyond use, and it seems to have got into some disarray. He is looking for someone who can go out to Kabul as soon as possible, for a couple of months, to straighten out the database and the general working proceedures of the team there, in order that they can keep accurate records of their work.
Clearly this is not one for the faint hearted, Kabul is not Bagdad but nor is it the safest place on earth. If anyone is interested, please drop me a line at email@example.com and I will pass it on.

We care about your health! |
Why Chinese Herbs? Chinese herbs have served as the foundation for "Traditional Chinese Medicine", or TCM, for over 5,000 years. The fundamental idea of living in harmony with nature and the environment forms the basis for the use of Chinese herbs as well as the traditional Chinese approach to health. Knowledge of the healing power of Chinese herbs and herbal formulas has been passed down from generation to generation, and today represents one of China's greatest gifts to mankind. About Chinese Herbs The isolation of China throughout history plays a role in the general lack of understanding about Chinese herbs by other world civilizations. However, since the opening of China in 1972, knowledge of the ancient healing powers of Chinese herbs has been gradually spreading to western countries. Chinese herbs are now experiencing a rapid increase in usage and popularity. Health-conscious consumers are concerned about the concentration of synthetic chemicals in western diets, medicines, and the general environment. Chinese herbs are being welcomed by progressive western consumers who are seeking natural, healthy and balanced health alternatives. How Can Herbs Help You? Chinese herbs and herbal remedies are used to help realign an individual's yin or yang balance in order to improve overall well-being. Chinese herbal formulas include hundreds of popular organic ingredients that work in harmony to produce the desired effects in a person's body. These ingredients are primarily of plant origin, and may include roots, bark, seeds, flowers and leaves. Some ancient Chinese herbal formulas may also include certain processed animal products and organic minerals that have been found to have unique health benefits. Each organic ingredient typically has unique characteristics (i.e. yin/yang balancing, qi/energy boosting, etc.) that are reinforced and harmonized in comprehensive ancient Chinese herbal formulas that have been passed down through the years. Herbs We Are Using We believes that only the highest quality, all-natural herbs should be used to help our patients reach the full health potential available from herbs and traditional Chinese formulas. And all herbs we used are natural ingredients and preservative-free. | |

Council Will Consider Moratorium (Via State) and Fracking Ban in City
By Ari L. Noonan @ 4:00 PM June 27, 2012(See pdf below)
A breakthrough for the loudly protesting opponents of the oil drilling scheme nicknamed fracking – but will it be significant or a blip?
At Monday night's 7 o'clock meeting in Council Chambers, the City Council has agreed to ponder a resolution asking the state to place a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing until its safety can be determined.
No question this is a major victory for the burgeoning, well-organized hometown anti-fracking advocates who appear to be steadily expanding, if not multiplying.
The impetus for this commitment to undertake what may be a symbolic step can be traced to a state-sponsored fracking workshop in Council Chambers on Tuesday, June 12, that drew an overflowing all-time record crowd.
Inspired or prodded by the Culver City momentum event, Los Angeles City Council members Bernard Parks, Paul Koretz and President Herb Wesson filed a resolution the next day for their Council to petition Sacramento for a moratorium on fracking.
At last glance, it was bogged down in committee.
With the energetic fumes of the June 12 workshop fresh in their nostrils, Culver City activists descended on the City Council the following Monday, pleading for the kind of action to which the Council now has agreed.
At that June 18 meeting, Vice Mayor Jeff Cooper seized the lead as the anti-fracking momentum expanded exponentially. He asked his colleagues to agendize such a resolution, and it was quickly embraced for the July 2 Council meeting.
It was predictable that a topic so dynamic would not glide smoothly, quietly through even the hometown legislative process.
The crowd on the 18th was agitating to bypass a moratorium and institute a ban on fracking in Culver City in the 10 percent of the Baldwin Hills Oil Field it controls, and anywhere else within the city.
A City Hall source familiar with the process said she is "certain that it will upset some people that Monday's meeting is in two parts – to consider the moratorium first and then a ban. Some anti-fracking will want to do the banned-in-Culver City portion before turning to the moratorium. They will say a moratorium is inadequate and a fracking ban is needed in Culver City."

Jason Plato ensured that the outcome of the British Touring Car Championship will be decided in the final race of the season as he clinched his second win of the day at Brands Hatch.
The 2001 champion was outsprinted by Tom Chilton off the line and sat on the tail of the Arena Ford Focus until two laps from the end, when the RML Chevrolet driver nudged his rival slightly wide at Druids and slipped by for his seventh win of the season.
Fabrizio Giovanardi, who had latched onto Plato at the start, then passed Chilton three corners later, making his move stick at Hawthorn Bend after previously being elbowed onto the grass exiting the preceding bend at Surtees.
Just as that was happening, Colin Turkington, who had latched onto the back of the five-car leading pack at half-distance, took his WSR BMW past Rob Collard's Motorbase-run version and at the very next corner he too got by Chilton to complete the podium behind his two title rivals.
With just one race to go, Turkington leads Giovanardi by four points with Plato a further four behind, meaning any one of them could still be crowned champion.
Collard came home fourth, followed by his teammate Jonathan Adam, while Chilton dropped to sixth.
Paul O'Neill elbowed Matt Neal onto the grass at Druids while the pair battled with Turkington early in the race. The Tech-Speed Honda driver finished seventh, just one spot ahead of the recovering Vauxhall man, who set the fastest lap along the way.
Neal will start the final race from pole position on the reversed grid, meaning that the title contenders will be sixth, seventh and eighth for the start.
Tom Onslow-Cole made it a double helping of points for Arena in ninth, while Gordon Shedden recovered from his race ine retirement to complete the points scorers.

- Oppose: I agree with Xykeb on this one. Scarletspeed7 22:23, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Maybe this fight won't go over well, but which fairy was better? Scarletspeed7 06:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose:Its not that bad of a suggestion, but its just not interesting enough. Zelda2108 08:15, 13 October 2008
- Oppose: Not very original. On a side note, why do Navi vs. Tael? Wouldn't Navi vs. Tatl be (much) more appropriate? Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 07:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: Yeah, Tatl vs. Navi would make more since than Tael...by the way, would you support it even if it were changed XZ? --AuronKaizerTalk loud, hit harder! 17:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: Isn't it supposed to be Navi vs Tatl? If you didn't do that by accident we all know who is going to win. *coughs* Navi. Spirit of time
- Comment: Why do people keep getting on my case for opposing things? No, I wouldn't support it, because that would be incredibly unoriginal. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 18:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: Why tael? Solar flute
- Comment: Here's an idea for you, Tatl vs. Ciela, Navi's too popular. So why not the next best fairies? Solar flute
- Comment: I really have no idea what Ciela's fan base is (and I have a very vague idea of what Tatl's is), so I don't know if that would be a one-sided fight or not. If not, it could work, I guess. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 16:42, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Stallord vs. Dark Link
They are both extremely popular(from I've seen here) but which is the champion? Zelda2108 08:21, 13 October 2008
- Oppose: Sorry, but popularity alone won't cut it. They've got to have some relation beyond that. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 07:39, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: This actually sounds like a damn good fight to me. Their relation is that they both kick ass, I guess... --AuronKaizerTalk loud, hit harder! 17:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral: I have a feeling that Stallord is going to kick Dark Link's butt, but at the same time I feel like Dark Link is gonna have some voters. What ever it is let's hope this isn't another one-sided fight. Spirit of time
- Support: I like. Sort of like a "battle of champions" kinda thing. -LeoLab 20:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: I'd like to see characters who haven't already fought yet. Scarletspeed7 22:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose:I'm kinda getting sick of Dark link in the temple of courage, he always wins, this one included. I'd almost have a heart attack if Stallord one, this one will be completely one sided. I honestly don't see why spirit of time thinks that stallord would win. I made my point. Solar flute
battle of the companions. Who can guide you better? Metroidhunter32 12:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

- Oppose: Unless you can stand Navi being annoying, we all know who's gonna win. Spirit of time
- Oppose:Midna has a much bigger role overall. Zelda2108 18:59, 13 October 2008
- Oppose: About 90% of the people I've seen on this wiki think that Navi is incredibly annoying. Midna is going to win, no question about it. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 18:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: Good comparison, but bad fight. -LeoLab 20:23, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: No. on an unrelated note, navi is well liked, check how many people have this on thier page. Solar flute
- Comment: All right, so maybe I exaggerated, but Midna is going to win anyway. And that template doesn't necessarily prove anything other than that you, well, "can tolerate Navi".....I mean, I don't think that Navi is annoying, but that doesn't mean I like her, which doesn't mean I dislike her either. There's really no way to know whether they're really fans of her, or, like me, they just don't think she's annoying. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 16:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
the characters lots of us love to hate

- Neutral: No comment. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 16:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Hey, at least I don't have the faintest idea what the outcome will be. That's something. --AuronKaizerTalk loud, hit harder! 17:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Both are annoying, but strictly awesome. This is like comparing the Duck Hunt dog to... Yoshi...Fried beef1 20:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: While this is an intriguing pairing, this seems like a weak fight to me. After some of the recent fights we've had, I think we ought to start moving toward some more interesting and combative fights that will generate more interest. Hero of Time 87 22:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: This is just a poor fight, it leaves us wanting something more worth our time. ZeldaFanatic98 22:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: this is definitely an odd selection; but in my estimation not that great of a fight to me. while i couldn't say which would win this fight, there's plenty of other pairings we couldn't foresee the outcome for that are just better. DarkBeastGanon 22:30, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: this is just a stupid fight, i mean c'mon. Heroofhyrule 06:01, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: that's the point. Solar flute
Battle of Link's fairy companions, which will prevail?
- Support: Let's just get it over with so we don't have to see this once again >.> --AuronKaizerTalk loud, hit harder! 17:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: While this may not be the most exciting fight we've had on here, it would probably be a competitive fight given the similarities between the two characters. It's definitely an interesting pairing to be sure. Hero of Time 87 19:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: I just don't like it. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 22:35, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Twinrova vs. Twinmold
Battle of the twin bosses, a pair of powerful Gerudo witches pitted against the gargantuan masked insects of the Stone Tower. Which set of "twins" will survive?
- Oppose: Not seein' it. --AuronKaizerTalk loud, hit harder! 19:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral: Not bad, but not good either. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 22:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: Don't make a fight based of the names of characters, no matter how hypocritical i am being right now. Solar flute
- Oppose: Twinmold doesn't stand a chance. Zelda2108 15:55,15 October 2008
Twinmold vs. Molgera
A duel between Titans, a battle of the sand worms. Which of these huge sand-dwellers will triumph over the other?
- Oppose: All these Twinmold suggestions are getting old...and it's still not a very good fight. --AuronKaizerTalk loud, hit harder! 21:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: I respectfully disagree. These are two similar bosses that come from two similar battlegrounds, hence I see great potential for a fight between these two giants. I think this is a spectacular fight, considering their similar sizes and fighting capabilities. Some of these more boring fights are getting old to me by the same token, though I go with the majority on what they decide. I think we should start moving to some more exciting and more combative fights. This is also a fight that I really don't think would be one-sided either, it would actually be close and thus more enthusiastic. Hero of Time 87 22:13, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: yeah, i kinda agree some of the fights we've had these last two rounds haven't exactly made me jump up and down with interest. i like voting in the fights, but i like some where there's some actual competition rather than one-sided fights.. DarkBeastGanon 22:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Now this is a fight I actually would like to see! I honestly couldn't tell you which would come out on top in this fight, and that's a damn good thing considering some of the landslide polls we've had. ZeldaFanatic98 22:25, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Hero of Time 87 basically said everything you need to know about why I support this. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 22:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: Worms are lame. Scarletspeed7 00:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Actually, this is a good fight. I think these worms were among the better bosses, contrary to the previous poster. Midnalover89 01:13, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: i'm thinkin this would actually be a hard choice, which is different from some of these other fights we've been havin on here. these bosses are actually both big and similar too. LegendofZelda92 01:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: First: Grab a giant's mask and Twinmold's too easy. It's close but no cigar. Solar flute
- Comment: lol I would SO vote for this fight, solar flute! expect it next week! Scarletspeed7 05:12, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Solar flute, forgive me but if you don't have magic power, the Giant's Mask is useless. And second, there is no need for sarcasm here. I would suggest we all keep sarcasm to a minimum and be respectful of others' suggestions. Please keep that in mind. Hero of Time 87 05:54, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: i actully think this is a decent fight, somethign that can't be saied for some of the other sugestions here. Heroofhyrule 05:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment:sorry (darn autism). Solar flute
- Comment: The warning has been issued, so please keep that in mind. Everyone is to be respectful, and sarcasm (anger's ugly cousin) will not be tolerated. Hero of Time 87 06:18, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Good one! Zelda2108 16:01, 15 October 2008
- Comment: Sarcasm isn't always intended to be rude, Hero of Time 87. I'm not saying that what Solar flute said was entirely appropriate, but sarcasm is often used in the context of a joke. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 19:58, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: That's the point though Xykeb, it can be twisted out of context since we can't visually say things on here, so it's best that if there is much chance it can be taken out of context that it not be used at all. It's true sarcasm can indeed be used as a joke and is fine when it does no real harm, but given that we aren't able to visually state it and make it clear it's only intended as a joke it has the potential to spark unnecessary arguments. Hero of Time 87 14:16, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: I suppose. If someone had a good friend here, though, wouldn't that be ok? If the friend understood that the sarcasm was intended to be a joke (as friends usually do), it would be fine. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 17:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Sarcasm is SOOOO inappropriate. *he says sarcastically* Scarletspeed7 17:35, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: That, Scarletspeed7, is exactly the kind of rude sarcastic remark that Hero of Time 87 is referring to. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 23:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Hold the phone. I was just trying to humorous. I thought the way too obvious sarcasm just made it absurd. Scarletspeed7 23:14, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Well then, it's a perfect example of the kind of sarcasm that is easily misinterpreted that Hero of Time 87 is referring to. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 23:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: No, it's the perfect example of the concpet of fun, a human trait that you like Commander Data. Scarletspeed7 00:20, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Well said Xykeb, and as I said all sarcasm is not a bad thing when not taken out of context and when its intentions are made clear (such as showing facial expressions or making it clear that it's just kidding). What we don't want are comments that are vague and can seem out of sorts that can be taken out of their context and misinterpreted as being rude when really that wasn't the intention. So let's all please take note that if we do use some sarcasm, it's okay as long as the intent is made clear. But if there's any possibility it could be misconstrued, then let's avoid it if there's the chance it could set off a huge blowup. Hero of Time 87 01:32, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support: I like it I see no reason why not. NintendoGamer1124

Shia LaBeouf is getting naked on camera these days almost as much as Daniel Radcliffe.
Shia isn't shy about showing his nude full frontal body in a still from his upcoming film, Charlie Countryman, that the 27-year-old posted on his Twitter account.
And just last week, posters for his movie, Nymphomaniac, show a shirtless Shia and his co-stars Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman and Willem Dafoe in at what appears to be mid-orgasm.
And you may remember in June 2012, the movie star, appears fully nude in a music video for the Icelandic band Sigur Ros.
Let's just say nobody's complaining.

Don't be afraid by happiness, it's only a nice time to go through Romain Gary
Qualified Life Coach NLP Practitioner Bilingual English / French
You can phone me from wherever you are in the world.
"Know yourself" Socrates drew inspiration from the job of wise woman which his mother exercised, to establish his therapeutic method. He decided to deliver minds as his mother delivered children. He founded Maieutics (from Maieutikê, meaning "art of delivery" in Greek) and defined himself as the one who gives birth to the human spirit. « The obstetrician brings, transmits nothing in the soul which he awakens. He leaves it bare in front of itself. » Socrates was questioning with sharp precision, here is his art, grandiose, unassuming and liberating. So, the being who was questioned could by looking in himself find his own answers, he took them out from himself and so became the artisant of his own realisation. "
Life coaching is about YOU.
Articles & Reflexions
Testimonials "I came to you at a time in my life where things could continue the way they were, or where I could choose to change it for the better. You allowed me to speak freely and honestly about my situation without being judgmental in any way. You were equally honest with me about whether you could help me or not, but we agreed to give it a go, and I'm so glad that we did. Since starting the process, my quality of life and of those around me, has been significantly improved... With your coaching, I have been able to talk freely and honestly without fear of anything I said being used against me. It felt so cathartic to be brutally honest about how I really felt and over the first few sessions it felt like I was slowly lightening the weight on my shoulders." About EFT - "I still don't know how this works, but it has for me. It is very helpful particularly when it comes to calming myself if I can feel myself building up to the "point of no return". I have known that I've had an anger problem for many, many years. Life coaching enabled me to explain exactly what I was feeling and have you question why I was feeling that way, in order to get to the root cause of my anger. I was unable to be objective to myself. I would recommend life coaching. The positive thing about life coaching is that it's about you looking at you, your life and recognizing what is or isn't working for you and how you can change it to make the rest of your life better for you, your family and others around you. My anger issues had become so serious that I could no longer ignore the impact it had on my family and me. When my husband says it's like living with a different woman, I know that I made the right decision to come to you. It's the best decision I have made!" - J.A traditional coaching "... I begun a Coaching Flash at a point of my life where I had a deep questioning about my professional future. I didn't know what I wanted to head on to. I wasn't doing anything, I was passive and just let things happen to me without reacting and I couldn't find efficient solutions. I learnt to be active with Pia's coaching. I felt Pia being congruent with what she transmits and that gave me confidence. Pia was listening to me, she gave me tools which helped me in a very practical way to both build a better structured life and have a more confident attitude with people. Pia's coaching helped me build my self confidence. I re educated myself to creating clearer aims and I felt the pleasure of an achieved objective. I feel that today I am able to better frame my life in a clearer way, to be organised and to achieve the goals I have decided on. I have learnt new ways to be. I do recommend life coaching with Pia to all those who need an extra help, those who are going through a transitionary time, those who need to reframe their life, and most of all those who want a practical change... The integrity I felt in Pia allowed me to be in touch with mine. Thanks to that, a few weeks after the end of the coaching, I have been able to trust my feelings and put to an end a situation that I didn't want to have in my life anymore." A.L. coaching & solidarity "...The sessions I have had with you gave me an incredible energy. I discovered myself able to go ahead. Now I know that I can move on and organise my life the way I want ..." S. coaching flash "...The work I have done with you still has impacts on my daily life after several months. I learnt to take distance, to take action and stop problematising everything, making the load even heavier. At a point, you suggested a relaxation session; I could do that every day now ! It was good, resourcing, incredible; another dimension. I learnt to respect myself more, but also to accept that I can not be perfect all the time. I felt totally secure; I could be myself without hiding anything. What I like is the fact that it is a practical approach, down to earth ...I feel light now, well, and ready to move on even more. Even my physical appearance has changed. Now people see me differently; I can be and act in a different way..." A. traditional coaching " ... I did only 3 sessions with you but I moved on very quickly. I expressed my doubts and only that allowed me to face them. Your approach and your questions lead me to think differently. I found extraordinary that you gave me the possibility to imagine freely at first, like in a dream, before confronting reality..." E. coaching flash "I have liked this holistic approach that coaching permits. For me, it has been a guided thinking. Being taken into account as an individual made me move on quickly and my projects became real. It is like being on rails, I did not scatter, I could be focused and take time. All was done smoothly. I could think of concrete things..." N. coaching flash "... Coaching with you was extremely helpful; I only had a vague idea of the decision I wanted to take before we began. But now, I can simply see clearly, the choice is almost obvious to me, but in a natural way. You helped me think of different options and their consequences, in a global way. I could not have done all that on my own. Because you are outside my personal world, you could provoke my thoughts in an organised way. You are a perceptive person; I am still astonished by your questions; we can not expect them ; they are not obvious; they are deep. You have been able to feel what was subjacent in me, what I did not necessarily say..." K. traditional coaching "... I did contact you firstly because I was curious to know more about life coaching. I had no idea what it was about, I did not know what to expect. I liked the fact that things were framed; the approach is concrete, not psychological. There are both analysis and action. We are really rooted in the present. We work on facts not with fantasms; From there we see what can be put into action. I have been able to envisage my concerns with another angle. I felt totally secure and respected, the relation was balanced..." Au. traditional coaching "... Questions, challenges, even silences were centered on me, really on me; who I am, how I feel, how I react ... it was very helpful. I liked your approach which was clear and flexible; I have always had the feeling that you were totally there for me.." M. traditional coaching "I am now in the process of finding my life purpose (majorly) because of the help I had from Pia. I have definitely moved on. Now that I know how to go about securing my life purpose, I am constantly investigating ideas, careers as well as preparing a move back to the States where I can fulfill that. After my sessions with Pia, I was comfortable confronting my husband of 16 years with my needs, which I wasn't able to do before. What helped me most in my coaching process was to nail down what areas to look at to fulfill my idea of my life purpose as well as confirm and put into perspective what life means to me. I am now actually able to put into words the most important aspects of my entire life, and specifically concentrate my energy on those. I really enjoyed all of the charts and questionnaires which helped me understand more about myself. And I especially appreciated Pia's discussions with me and her constant optimistic outlook for my life, ideas and dreams. In the beginning of course I was hesitant about it all - but during the first visit I felt comfortable and satisfied. I have been in counseling therapy before; I find the coaching I have had with Pia was much more of a positive aspect for someone that has moved on from regular therapy. More of goal orientated as opposed to dealing with the old negative stuff. I would definitely recommend Life Coaching and have. I think it's a fabulous experience for anyone in need of guidance, and especially for women like myself that are lost between wife, mother and purpose other than. Pia's attitude in 3 words : POSITIVE, Direct, Honest" - C.K. traditional coaching "After a knee sprain and many sessions of physio, I had recovered motor function in my leg. Though a significantly disabling pain remained when I made repeated and prolonged efforts. The pain which could last several days, made me limp and prevented me from putting my foot on the ground. I assessed then pain at being 6 / 7 on a scale of 10. One day, Pia explained me the virtues of the Emotional Freedom Technique and so I told myself that I had nothing to lose, but everything to gain, especially since the pain was very strong, at least 8 out of 10 on that day During the session, I did everything thoroughly, sincerely believing that the EFT could benefit me. I stayed focused on what Pia did, and I relaxed. During a large part of the session, I felt nothing special. Seconds before the end of the session, I had the feeling of a fluid and a very light heat circulating down my leg from the knee joint ... but nothing more. Once the session was over, Pia told me I could get up from the chair I was sitting on So I stood up, keeping in mind the pain I had BEFORE the EFT session, I was very careful not to sollicitate my leg too much. That's when I could not believe what was happening : I was not in pain anymore ! ... It seemed unreal, unbelievable. I could not feel the pain anymore ! What is interesting about this technique is that anyone can use it. It's simple, easy to appropriate. Moreover, excited by the result, I immediately asked Pia to pass the technique on to me. If I were to describe what happened, I would say : simple, efficient, exceptional." G.F. EFT

Jim Sinclair: Banksters Will Make Most Money in Shortest Period o
Jim Sinclair has sent email subscribers another alert Sunday night regarding the latest take-down of gold.
Sinclair again re-iterates that the bullion banks will be the entity that makes the greatest gains in the current precious metals bull market.
Those who think the Goldmans or Morgans are stupid and clumsy are the ones demonstrating those traits. I see and know the same things these greatest of all time manipulators of price see and know. This is 1979 in the gold market right before the greatest price appreciation took place over the shortest period of time then. The most money over the shortest period of time in the gold bull market of the 70s was not made by the gold crowd but rather by the mega powers of Establishment Wall Street after doing the same things they are now doing.

My friends are throwing a Halloween party and my invitation said bring myself and a costume. I've already exhausted all my other costume ideas so I had no idea what I wanted to be: 2 yrs ago I wore my poodle skirt and last yr I was a hippie. SInce I love the 50s and 60s I wanted to stick with that theme. Then it came to me! I have the saddle shoes, the black skinny jeans, and the hair scarf…so I decided to make a Pink Ladies jacket and go as a Pink Lady from Grease. To make the jacket i use the pattern from my footed pajamas. I used the kid's large and just shortened it. Other than using the pattern for the shape of the jacket I pretty much made the jacket up as I was going along. To finish off the jacket I did a simple Pink Lady appliqu on the back.

I was thinking of doing a throwdown between "The Child Within" and "Coming Home" as these were consequential six issue arcs, which began two of the most acclaimed creative Spider-Man runs of the last twenty-one years.
But then I realized that it might be more valuable to just compare the two omnibus-length runs. "Coming Home" was probably going to get more praise than "The Child Within" just as "Best Enemies" would have probably gotten more votes than "The Book of Ezekiel."
Which creative team would you guys say was better?
JM Dematteis and Sal Buscema (Spectacular Spider-Man #178-203) or J Michael Straczynski and John Romita Jr (Amazing Spider-Man Volume 2 #30-58, 500-508)?

Living Well
10 Ways to Get an Instant Ego Boost
I don't know about you, but sometimes, when I'm stressed out at home or on the job, I always turn to my mom, who instantly provides the support and guidance I need to make me feel that no matter how difficult things may seem, it's all going to work out just fine. I truly treasure all she's done for me and that's why I'm planning to take my mom away for her birthday this weekend as we set off on an impromptu trip to Spain! I'll share more about our adventure in a future post, but right now, since we're on the topic of ways you can boost your ego when you're in a rut, I'd like to share some fabulous suggestions I received from my Facebook friends.
1. Call your mom! (suggested by amazing mom, writer and grandmother, Janie Lam Meyers.) I second that emotion. There's nothing like sharing a bad day with your parent and having them tell you that it's going to be okay.
2. Wear slutty shoes. An interesting idea submitted by Kim Marie Evans, founder of Luxury Travel Mom. I never thought of that one, especially since I'm usually in agony after I've worn painful high heel designer shoes but you never know, it could serve as an ego boost as long as the shoes are comfortable and don't cause blisters or bunions.
3. Call my girl friends...but normally I remind myself how I got here (Submitted by one of my favorite blogging moms, Mommy Niri). While I don't get the time to connect with my old friends as often as I'd like, I love hearing from them and catching up on lost time. Just the other day, my dear friend texted me a belated birthday message and said she missed me and that put a smile on my face the rest of the day!
4. "To be honest, I look (either literally or in my mind) at some of my past work that either made me very satisfied with myself, or got some reactions that pleased me greatly." -- Jay Bobbin, syndicated television writer and entertainment televison correspondent.
5. "When I need to boost my ego I cook for friends." --David Thomsen, TV producer.
6. "I would call you!" -- my dear friend Holli. Any time you can, surrounding yourself with optimistic people is always a great idea in my book and I try to cheer up my dear friends with humor, patience and an ear to listen.
7. PRAY! (submitted by Angel Carmel). A simple message that absolutely rings true when you share your personal thoughts, prayers for healing and well wishes for others.
8. "Hang out with my kids. There's no one who can articulate why they love me more sweetly than they can. Good for the soul." --Organization expert, Amanda Wiss
9. "Usually put on a fabulous pair of shoes!" Another sexy shoe vote comes from marketing expert and co-founder of Annie Wear, Pamela Pinta
10. "Hug my puppy!! She loves me no matter what!" says Travel Agent extraordinaire, Erika Harnett.
BONUS BOOST: Here's a funny one submitted by my friend Jocelyn Kenner - one of the best singers and sweetest women I know. "This is so cruel but here goes...I visit my mom in the assisted living facility and being in that "crowd" makes me feel young, attractive, hip, and totally with it!"
So there you have it. If you're feeling down in the dumps, pick one of my tried and true ego boost tips and before you know it, you'll be feeling a whole lot better about your situation. As the saying goes, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Or just wear a pair of slutty shoes and somehow, someway, everything will fall into place.

President Obama won again!! And that after four years of the GOP making his defeat a priority. After four years of not governing but only concentrating on trying to make sure he had no success. To me, this is high treason. This whole wishy-washy "believe in America" stuff - lip service while trying to obstruct Americans' voting rights. Yuck. Pandering to the Jewish vote by basically promising another war that we can't afford in lives lost or financially.
Here's the message, Republicans: More than 50% of the voting public are not as stupid as you think they are. And that doesn't make them any less patriotic. We love this country too - we love the Constitution - we love freedom - but we also see issues and want to solve them.
Congrats Mr. President! And most of all - congratulations to America!
"More than 50% of the voting public are not as stupid as you think they are."
No, not really. The problem is that more than 50% of the voting public are really very stupid!

Right direction for Romney?
The music died when the first results came into Romney HQ in Boston - not metaphorically, but literally, as the jazz band that had been serenading Republicans stopped playing.
The chat died too as everyone watched the first results come onto the screen flanking the stage where Mitt Romney will at some stage appear.

2003 Neil Rettig
Neil Rettig with the large, majestic, and powerful Harpy Eagle
Renowned Cinematographer Neil Rettig Visits Oklahoma
Neil Rettig and his partner Cal, a male Harpy Eagle, made special appearances at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, the Tulsa Historical Society, and area schools in January 2004. As a naturalist, conservationist and world-renowned cinematographer, Neil had a variety of experiences to share with the audience.
"Neil Rettig is considered to be one of the finest natural history filmmakers on the planet, and he is a recognized biologist, too," said Steve Sherrod, the executive director of the Sutton Avian Research Center.
"In addition to making documentaries for Discovery, BBC, National Geographic and Disney, Neil has been the subject of a film by National Geographic on outstanding nature cinematographers." Rettig's work includes dozens of television specials on wildlife from raptors to primates.
He has filmed from the frozen Arctic to the hot and humid rainforests, and Rettig is currently finishing a project for BBC on the Mississippi River.
Neil Rettig spoke to over 7,000 Oklahoma students during his time in the state, as well as making additional public presentations at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History in Norman and at the Tulsa Historical Society.

Neil developed ingenious methods for filming in the rain forest canopy
Neil watches a variety of wildlife worldwide!
Rettig encourages students to dream and to pursue their dreams. He spoke to them of first seeing the Harpy Eagle in the Encyclopedia Britannica, including the facts that it was both rare and little known. He told his friend he was going to film that eagle.
Neil saved money from painting houses and other odd jobs, and he later headed to Guyana. He brought back the first detailed footage of Harpy Eagles nesting in the wild, including an egg hatching.
The ingenuity of constructing a blind 30 feet from the Harpy's nest, 150 feet off the ground, and getting the photographs, initiated Rettig's reputation of being the one to call to get difficult nature shots.
He was the director of photography for "Mountain Gorilla," the first natural history film produced by Imax Systems Corp. for large-screen IMAX cinemas. During this production Rettig pioneered methods to move the camera vertically and horizontally to give the audience the best images of the rainforest canopy.
"We need to educate people, to stimulate people to do something," Rettig said.
"In order for people to save something, they first have to be able to appreciate it," said Steve Sherrod. "The work of people like Neil Rettig shows us these things by bringing them into our living room."
Many of the areas Rettig has filmed are in third world countries with little in the way of conservation efforts. This lack of environmental policy has resulted in the destruction of many habitats he has filmed through the years. "There are areas of the Philippines where we filmed that were forest at the time, but were clear-cut a year later," he said. "And such habitat destruction is happening all over the world."

Jesús Malverde, sometimes known as the "generous bandit", "angel of the poor", or the "narco-saint", is a folklore hero in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. He is celebrated as a folk saint by some in Mexico and the United States, particularly among those involved in drug trafficking, but he is not officially recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.He's a handsome devil:
There are those who honor him here in Illinois. Unfortunately, the police know who he is. As in this case:
When Cook County Sheriff's officers spotted a statue of Jesus Malverde in a Toyota Camry parked near their west suburban police station, they knew something was wrong.They found a lot of cocaine in the Camry.
When displaying this saint, be wary.
Your local constabulary
may take it as a clue

Today's tasks randomly being moved to Yesterday
A bunch of my tasks keep getting moved to yesterday. Even if I select "Do it Today," they show up as being overdue when I refresh the page.
Asked by Ed Cottrell on Oct 10, 2013 - 11:32

Hello Ed,
Please make sure both Todoist as well as your system and any devices you're using Todoist on are set to the correct time zone. If Todoist would ask you if you want to adjust your time zone, please agree.
Then, clear your browser's cache, log out and back in, and see if it helps.
Best regards,
Ed Cottrell on Oct 10, 2013 - 12:36
The problem seems to have gone away on its own. Just to be clear, though, it was moving only some of my tasks. It had been working fine, and then suddenly about half of my tasks for today got moved to yesterday (and would move to yesterday again, immediately after I changed them to today), but the rest stayed put.
