text: Dog Day Workouts: 10 Cooling Tips for Exercising Safely in the Heat Page ContentFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Aug. 24, 2011 Tips attributable to Rob Danoff, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician in Philadelphia and a spokesperson for the American Osteopathic Association. (CHICAGO) — As summer vacations become memories, daylight hours get shorter and back-to-school shopping takes a priority, many people will head outside to soak up the last bits of sunshine and warmth that the season has to offer. However, these dog days of summer are often accompanied by the season's most blistering heat and oppressive humidity, putting those who exercise outdoors at heightened risk for heat-related illness. "Running, biking, rowing or taking whatever physical activity you love outside of the gym is a great way to do something good for your body while enjoying the sights and sounds of the environment around your home," explains Rob Danoff, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician who serves as the program director of the family practice and the combined family practice/emergency medicine residency programs at Aria Health System in Philadelphia. "But, it is important to practice hot weather safety by protecting yourself from heat overload." Dr. Rob offers the following tips for avoiding heat-related illnesses when exercising outdoors in the summer: 1. Avoid the hottest part of the day. Early morning and evening hours are the coolest and the best for outdoor exercising. As heat and humidity increase between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., your body's temperature control system is at a greater risk for "heat overload" and developing a heat-related illness. That's because the high heat combined with the higher humidity makes it difficult for your body to "sweat" away its excess heat. 2. Check the heat index before heading out. The heat index takes into consideration the humidity level of the air outside to estimate the "real" temperature effect on your body. Extreme caution is advised for a heat index greater than 91 degrees Fahrenheit. And, once the heat index reaches 103, there is a real danger to your health, so it is best to exercise at a cooler time of the day. 3. Protect yourself from the sun. Limiting your exposure to direct sunlight is another reason to avoid exercising outdoors during the hottest part of the day, which is typically when the sun is directly overhead. No matter what time of day or amount of cloud cover, use sunscreen to prevent sunburn and wear a cap or visor to shield your head, face and eyes from the sun's rays. 4. Plan a route or pick a spot near shade or shelter. Whether you're jogging through the neighborhood, rowing on the water or doing yoga on the beach, make sure there are places on your route or nearby where you can cool off. If you're biking or jogging long distances, shady areas will help you stay cool. Trees and underpasses are great places out of the sun where you can cool down. Even better are public buildings and libraries, which are usually air-conditioned. If you need a break or start to overheat, you can duck into the lobby of one of these buildings, which are also places where drinking fountains are usually accessible for sipping water or filling water bottles. 5. Stay hydrated. Your body can lose a quart or more of its cooling fluid during an intense workout. Hydration should actually start before you begin exercising. A good rule of thumb is to drink around 16 ounces of water approximately two hours before the start of your workout and continue to drink 8 ounces every 20 minutes throughout the duration of the physical activity. This will help to ensure you are replacing fluids lost while sweating without over hydrating yourself. Save sports drinks for moderate to intense levels of activity lasting an hour or more. Avoid alcohol, soda and caffeine prior to and during your workout, as they can impair your body's ability to cool itself. 6. Wear loose clothing or synthetic fabrics. Today's athletic clothing is designed to be lightweight and wick moisture away from the skin, aiding the body's natural cooling process. Synthetic materials commonly used include polypropylene, Lycra®, nylon and polyester. Many products are also designed to prevent clinging and chafing. Additionally, loose-fitting clothing helps with ventilation for body heat and sweat, so avoid tight or restricting garments. 7. Understand your medications. Some medications have the potential to affect your body's ability to stay hydrated and respond to the effects of the heat. These include but are not limited to: - Tranquilizers - Medications for Parkinson's disease - Diuretic medications - Cold or anti-diarrhea medicines - Antihistamines - Antibiotics such as doxycycline, which can increase the risk for sunburn, further impairing the body's ability to regulate its heat load Ask your physician if any herbal or dietary supplements and/or over-the-counter or prescription medications you take have the potential to increase your risk for a heat-related illness. 8. Know the signs of heat-related illness. The best way to treat a serious heat-related illness is to prevent one from occurring. This makes it important to know the early warning signs of a milder heat-related illness and to take "cooling" steps when your body begins to experience heat overload. These include: Heat cramps are painful, brief muscle cramps that can begin any time while exercising in the heat up to a few hours after. They are believed to be associated with poor hydration and low levels of essential minerals known as electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) in the body's tissue. Heat exhaustion, a milder form of heat-related illness, has the potential to lead to heat stroke if left untreated. Symptoms can be subtle (unexplained fatigue, headache) or progress quickly (vomiting, fainting) after warm/hot weather exercise. Signs of heat exhaustion include: -Heavy sweating -Weakness -Unexplained fatigue -Nausea or vomiting -Dizziness -Headache -Fainting -Muscle cramps -Pale complexion Heat stroke, the most serious heat-related illness, can be fatal or cause permanent disability if emergency treatment is not provided. Heat stroke occurs when the body's natural cooling mechanism fails, causing body temperature to rapidly rise (sometimes to 106 degrees Fahrenheit). Warning signs of heat stroke include: -Extremely high body temperature -Rapid pulse -Red, hot and dry skin (no more sweating) -Throbbing headache -Dizziness and/or nausea -Confusion -Loss of consciousness 9. Know what to do if you or someone you know is showing warning signs of heat-related illness. Get help immediately if you think you see someone suffering from a heat-related illness or if you exhibit signs of your own. Call "911" for medical assistance and take the following steps to cool the victim: -Get them to a shady area, preferably an indoor, air- conditioned environment. -Cool them using whatever methods are available, such as wiping the person down with a cool sponge, spraying with a hose or placing in a tub with cool water and fanning the person vigorously. -Monitor their body temperature and continue cooling efforts until emergency or medical personnel arrive. -Do not use rubbing alcohol to cool them and avoid any alcoholic drinks. -Stay by their side until medical assistance arrives. 10. Lastly, if you have children, ensure your child's school has an action plan for safety during warm-weather sports activities.

Chicken Little (voice of Zach Braff) tried to warn everyone in his hometown that the sky was falling. As it happens, a piece of the sky hit his head, but when it was time to prove it, the piece had disappeared. He instantly became a joke and a year later he had not recovered yet. His father, Buck Cluck (voice of Garry Marshall), asked him to go unnoticed, and he could only trust his misfit friends: Abby Mallard (voice of Joan Cusack), Runt of the Litter (voice of Steve Zahn) and Fish Out of Water (voice of Dan Molina). But just as he was getting back in the game, it happened again: a piece of the sky fell right into his room. With the help of his friends he follows a lead and finds out that aliens are apparently planning to invade, or just plain disappear, planet Earth. But will anyone believe him this time?
In order to properly enjoy this movie, you have to understand that it was made primarily for kids. Witty humor for adults is scarce, yet the movie doesnt downplay its intelligence quotient so that we cant enjoy it. I actually had a blast. There are a couple of lame jokes here and there, such as one that has to do with burping, but for the most part the movie treats kids as smart individuals. There are also bits which arent precisely cheerful, but theyre truthful and they serve the movies ultimate message. And the movie also gets sentimental at times. When you have a character so devoid of cynicism and something bad, or really good, happens to him, I dont know... it just gets me.
The movie is a lot of fun. Chicken Little lives in a town populated by all kinds of animals, some of which get hilarious exposition. I especially loved the appearance of some rabbits and the good use given to a chameleon. Our main character is also a very funny individual on its own, both visually and figuratively. That big head just cracks me up every time I see it. I also got a kick out of Fish Out of Water, a wonderful, well-executed creation. And the animation, while not photo-realistic but more cartoon-y in its look, is perfectly suited to the story.
Something Id like to point out is just how modern the movie is. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesnt. The use of some songs is awkward, although I liked the use Runt gave to some of the classics. Theres also a scene that has all the kids at school taking a break from gym class and instantly grabbing their cell phones to talk. I guess I like my old-fashioned Disney tales and thats why this bit took me out of the movie, but hey, kids will most likely love it. And lets not get into Runts character, the most openly gay character Ive seen in a kids movie so far. Compared to this, Shark Tale was an exercise in subtlety. And Im not complaining, just saying. Its interesting.
I have to say that when the extraterrestrials first appeared I thought they crashed with the movies uplifting, innocent tone so far. I just didnt feel they belonged in this movie. And it took me a while to get used to them, but the movie does a good job because by the end I was completely and utterly satisfied with where it went and what it did with the characters.
Voice work is uniformly good. Braff does a good job as Chicken Little and Joan Cusack brings some of her personality to the wonderful Abby Mallard. Also appearing in small roles are Don Knotts, Catherine OHara, Fred Willard, Amy Sedaris, Adam West and Patrick Stewart, among others.
And watch out for a hysterical King Kong homage!
Dont tap the glass, they hate it when you do that.

Hi, Deb,
The way I understand the issue, here are the facts:
(1) rtf and word doc are different (2) word has no problem opening and reading rtf or saving most of the doc contents in a rtf file (3) you can give any filename and file type to ods rtf statement (4) but ods rtf generates only rtf files
So, it comes down to very practical choices:
(1) once you open the generated rtf file (no matter which file type it has) in word and save it as a real .doc, then it becomes a real word doc file. (2) Or leave it as it is. This will cause no problem unless whatever the software application that deals with your rtf file with the .doc extention totally relies on the file type and gets confused. (word doesn't get confused)
Cheers, Chang

The arrival of Hemlock Semi-Conductor just across the state and county border has caused a significant increase in traffic in Guthrie and it will only get greater over the next few years as the extremely large plant grows.
Extra traffic means an even greater danger at two awkward intersections in the town, prompting state officials to look at ways to re-route or alter the U.S. 79-KY 181 and U.S. 41-KY 181 crossings.
A group with the Department of Highways came to Guthrie recently and discussed options, but State Senator Joey Pendleton says money to put shovels in the ground is just not there at this point—though there are funds for the initial design phases.
Senator Pendleton says south Todd County residents should know the projects are necessary and they will happen, it's just a matter of when.
The two intersections are particularly dangerous for tractor-trailers due to visibility issues and due to there being little room to maneuver.
The Senator says the widening of KY 181 coming south into Elkton from the 68 bypass will happen and is funded in the current road plan.

A countywide crackdown on drunken and drug-impaired motorists netted 165 arrests in the first three days of the operation-- with eight of them made here in Temecula alone, authorities said Monday.
The end-of-summer Riverside County Avoid the 30 campaign -- named for the number of police agencies involved -- got under way Friday morning.
Between then and Sunday night, saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints were deployed in a number of locations, including Banning, Beaumont, Corona, La Quinta, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Palm Springs, Perris, Rancho Mirage, Riverside and Temecula.
The 165 motorists arrested on suspicion of DUI since Friday compare to 162 arrested during the same phase of last summer's Avoid campaign, according to Riverside police Lt. Mark Rossi, the Avoid coordinator.
The majority of arrests were made by the California Highway Patrol, who arrested a total of 67 people for DUI between Friday and Sunday, according to data provided to Patch by Avoid the 30. Moreno Valley PD made the second highest number of arrests, with 11, followed by Palm Desert police, with 10.
Nearby Murrieta's police force arrested four people, while Lake Elsinore's department arrested five people on suspicion of DUI.
Two people were killed and five people were seriously injured in a possible DUI-related collision over the weekend, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Avoid crackdown, which continues through Labor Day weekend, is part of a national campaign, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."
This week, anti-DUI operations are planned in Desert Hot Springs, Menifee, Murrieta, Palm Springs and Riverside.
The Avoid campaign will coincide with the CHP's "Maximum Enforcement Period," which is set for Aug. 30-Sept. 2. During the MEP, all available CHP officers hit the streets to nab intoxicated motorists, speeders and other traffic violators.
During last summer's two-week Avoid campaign, 710 people were arrested on suspicion of DUI, compared to 762 in 2011, according to figures.

What Is Your Idea of Away?
Today's RV parks are often referred to as "the last small towns in America." The friendliness of RVers, the sense of community from relationships with fellow RVers and the wealth of amenities that many parks provide offer RV travelers a feeling of a hometown on the road. In many cases, the RV parks themselves have become destinations for vacationers, not merely a place to sleep en route to other tourist locations. No matter whether you are a family looking for an action-packed trip, an empty nester seeking relaxation and pampering or somewhere in between, there's an RV resort just right for you.
Candy-bar bingo, old-fashioned sack races or late-night flashlight tag…whatever your child's idea of fun, RV parks go beyond the standard swimming pools and campstores. Parks also boast splashyards for the youngest members of the families, full-scale waterparks complete with lazy rivers, arts and craft classes, lakes with canoes and kayaks, miniature golf fun for the whole family, outdoor movie theaters, live weekend entertainment, game rooms, nature hikes and organized children's games and activities with park activity directors on staff, all designed to keep families entertained without needing to leave the campground property. Some parks offer spa services where Mom and Dad can sneak away for a few moments of pampering while the kids are entertained.
Mature travelers looking to socialize with other adults in a more relaxed atmosphere can find RV resorts with spa amenities, 18-hole golf courses, club houses, restaurants, cappuccino bars, wine rooms, resort-style boutiques and salon services, as well as organized social activities and craft/art classes for an adult-only crowd. Some like to call amenity-laden RV parks, Glamping Resorts!
Larger RV parks publish special event calendars with celebrations and themed weeks or weekends throughout the year so RVers can make reservations in advance for the more popular festivities and can plan their getaways. Friendships forged at campgrounds often bring groups of RVers together throughout the year. Others plan their stays because of how a park's staff make them feel so welcomed and at home with each returning visit.
RV campgrounds can be as small as a few dozen sites to booming resorts with hundreds of sites, catering to RVs of every type and size. Some RVers prefer the simple solitude of campgrounds that provide just the basics of electricity and fresh water at the site. Others prefer full-service options with electricity, water and sewer hookups for every RV. Electronically dependent travelers appreciate the Wi-Fi service provided at many of today's campgrounds, as well as cable hookups. Campgrounds located near popular tourist destinations frequently offer shuttle transportation to and from town.
Destination Camping
A growing vacation trend, RVers are opting for destination camping. By renting a site at a favorite campground within driving distance from home for several weeks, a month or the entire season, RVers are able to leave their RV completely set up on the site and travel back and forth to it for long weeks or an extended vacation without having to pack the RV and head out on the road each time. This saves owners both time and money and makes frequent RV getaways even easier and more convenient. Campgrounds in colder climates also offer off-season storage when the parks are closed for the winter months.

{A 52" wide x 43" tall photo enlargement made with simple photo edits in Photoshop Elements} |
Instead of the standard 4" x 6" photo print I did some simple {trust me} photo editing and created this super-sized enlargement on the cheap (in comparison to what it would cost to print as a single image).
The overall dimensions of this, shall we now call it artwork?, is 52" wide x 43" tall.
It consists of (9) 14" x 11" photo sections, printed at a photo shop. And standard off-the-shelf frames that we DIY'ed into a single unit (link to the DIY instructions at the end of the post).
At one point I laid all the photos out on the dining room table and I could have taped them together on the backside and basically had a seamless single print ...
... I didn't do that because of framing issues.
If I had produced the image in say (4) 14"x11" sections I might have had more framing options. Think about how you'll frame your art piece when printed; for planning your photo enlargement you can follow my instructions and:
- it doesn't matter what size photo prints you want to use, and
- it doesn't matter how many "sections" you decide to create
I'm going to share the concept of how to make these {easy} digital photo edits and you can run with this idea and create all kinds of color for the walls in your home!
Simple and easy edits still require a fair amount of explanation. This post is long. If you're interested in learning how I did this, you may want to bookmark this post and come back when you have 10 - 15 minutes to read through, reflect, and play around with one of your photos in your software to practice and apply this information.
I use Photoshop Elements (PE) but the features I'll talk about are available in all the leading photo editing programs. And I'm going to talk concepts not specific procedures, (but I will share a screen print of two) so regardless of the program you use, you are going to need to know a bit about the software ... or And let me just say it here, cause I won't at each step, save your file periodically as you work. You know what happens if you don't. And if you want to keep a copy of the image in an unedited form, "save as" to a different name before you even begin edits, like "peony sectioned" or something like that. I'm just sayin'.
1) When I opened my photo in PE the default print size was 13.3" x 10". Remember print size also implies proportion. If I wanted to keep those proportions I could have doubled the size of the print or cut it in half or thirds or other, without making any changes. 13.3" x 10" is a different proportion than 14" x 11". Not a huge difference, but any difference requires a little edit.
How do I know for sure the proportions are different? Divide one number by the other ... doesn't matter which way you divide, just do it the same way for both measurements for comparable comparison. For ex:
13.3" divided by 10" = factor of 1.33
14" divided by 11" - factor of 1.27
When the default proportion is different from your desired print proportion you will need to crop the image to the desired proportion first before you create, in my case, those (9) print sections. Don't panic. The math is behind us. The hard part is done. Now you let your software work for you.
2) In PE you can select a specific object (for example, the whole flower bloom) or an area of the image, typically in the form of a square or rectangle. To crop you want to select an area of the image you want to keep (what isn't selected will be discarded). In PE you use the Marquee Tool to select an area and this is a fairly standard tool between different software packages.
Here's where your software will do the work for you: you can set fixed proportions for your selection tool (in PE the Marquee Tool). I selected Mode: Fixed Ratio and told the system 14 wide and 11 height. I don't have to say inches, or picas, or whatever ... these are proportions not measurements. Once I set the Marquee Tool to select a 14 x 11 section, regardless of how much of the image, or how little of the image I click and drag and select, it will maintain the 14 x 11 proportions.
{How To instructions for making a "sectioned" photo enlargement using basic photo edits in Photoshop Elements} |
3) With the new portions of the image selected, Crop (probably Image / Crop from your menu) your picture.
4) It doesn't matter from this point forward about the 14 x 11 proportions, that's now a given, as long as you equally divide the image into sections. Once again, a tiny bit of math then let the software do the hard stuff.
5) Let's say you want to create four print sections from your image ... two sections wide and two sections tall. You've already done that math in your head and know each section will be 50% of the width of the image and 50% of the height.
In my case I went with three sections wide and three sections tall. OK, you've done that math too ... each of my prints are 33.3% of the height of the image, and 33% of the width.
You want to go all fancy on me? Two sections wide and three sections tall? Yes, you can do this ... each section is 50% of the width of the image and .... 33.3% of the height.
So what do you do with this info?
6) This next step is to simply visually
In PE to change the ruler unit of measure I go to Preferences on the menu and select Ruler & Units. For this operation I want the ruler to measure my image in percentages ... I want to easily see where 33.3% of the width of the image is, then 66.6%, and finally 99.9%.
So instead of seeing the default ruler units (units are 0 ... 12) that don't make it easy to divide an image ...
Here's my screen in PE with the ruler set to percentages (units are 0 ... 100)
{Setting the Ruler to display units of measurements in Percentages in Photoshop Elements} |
While you're changing the settings for your ruler you could also set the gridlines to percentages too. That's up to you. It might be a secondary visual reassurance for you. Or if you've never used gridlines before it might be too much information on the screen. Or it could be cool. You know your style preferences and information needs, so play around with this as appropriate.
Whew. OK. You now know what percentage of the photo you want in each of your print sections, and how many sections you are going to create.
You should still have the area selection (Marquee) tool set to the Fixed Ratio of the image.
What you are going to do next is click and drag to select each section of your image that will print, with the area select, COPY, then do a Paste. In PE the paste will automatically go to a new layer where I'll see just that section. I ended up with my whole image (on a layer) plus nine more individual layers (one for each section). Here's a look at my layers (yes, I know I worked out of order on my grid, I was tired, but the point here is different layer for each section to print) ...
7) Finally, each of the section layers become a separate file to send to your printer. In PE I "make visible" only a single layer, then proceed with the routine for Image / Save As. I did that nine different times. I named my files "section 1" ... "section 9". I'm so analytically creative. Is that even a term?
Send your files to a printing service or print at home. Frame or don't frame. Hang and enjoy. And if you do this I'd so love to see a picture of your art!
Bless you if you made it all the way to the end with me. If you have questions leave them in the comment section so everyone can see them and I'll respond both in the comments so other's can benefit and if you're email is linked to your posting profile I'll email you directly as well.
So thanks so much for stopping by. Once you actually apply what I've talked about it will seem simple ... if you just read through it I know there's a lot of information, but when you start to work with it and the software does the hard stuff for you, then I hope you'll agree this is pretty cool and do'able.
If you want to read the details for my DIY frame made from 9 individual frames connected into 1, read the original post here.
Enjoy your photo editing!

Bush Meets With Dalai Lama, to China's ChagrinPosted on Oct 16, 2007
President Bush's private meeting with the Dalai Lama on Tuesday, the day before the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader was slated to receive the Congressional Gold Medal, didn't please Chinese officials, to say the least. They're not really thrilled about the U.S. honoring the Dalai Lama for his role in the ongoing struggle to free Tibet from Chinese rule, either.

By ender, October 17, 2007 at 11:24 am Link to this comment The crimes of China against Tibet are atrocious, and by ignoring it, the west has become implicated in the crime. That said, its probably too late for Tibet, and this is not the time to start crap with China if we are to help the situation in Mianmar, or avoid a war with Iran. Damn. Maybe that's what the idiot is trying to accomplish. Let Chevron continue pumping natural gas from burma, while cutting of that source for China, and force Iran into a war, thinking Russia can back them. We are so fkd

Invest in protective eyewear for sports
(HealthDay News) -- Wearing protective eye gear when playing sports can help prevent serious eye injuries.
Remember these guidelines when selecting protective eyewear:
- Buy your eye guards at an optical store or sports store, and make sure someone familiar with your eyes and the sport you play fits you for the guards.
- Make sure your eyewear comes with the correct lenses, which should be held securely in place.
- Purchase eye guards that offer cushion or padding along the bridge of the nose and eyebrows to avoid cuts or damage to the face.

Rigel and Betelgeuse

The sketch of Rigel represents a field of view of 52' and a magnification of 94x (17mm Nagler Type 4). The sketch of Betelgeuse represents a field of view of 37' and a magnification of 133x (12mm Nagler Type 4). South is up and east is to the left.

Planning Tours
"How many days do we need to cover Israel?"
This is a question many people have asked. I have travelled to Israel for the past 20 Years and we still see and find things we haven't experienced before. The answer is in you. Calculate how many days you have free for vacation and how many you wish to spend on your tour – that will lead you to your answer.
Planning your itinerary
Flights to foreign countries are a physical and mental experience in itself- so please plan an easy day before departure. Arrive at the Airport with enough time for parking, luggage wrapping and handling and finding the correct departure desk. Rather have something at a restaurant after your luggage and boarding tickets have been finalised.
This is a list of all the general areas in the country that we plan around:
- North
Caesarea and the Coast
Lower Galilee and the Sea of Galilee
Upper Galilee - South
Eilat - East
Dead Sea
Judean Desert
Free days – You need time with yourself or in the way you want it. It's too much to stick to a plan all the time, so don't overlook planning for at least half a free day. You can always change it.
Last days – Jerusalem is often the highlight of a tour to Israel, so my advice is to leave it to the end. Also, it's closer to the airport.
For further information, don't hesitate to ask.
Send an email with your traveling requests to:
The first step of the trip planning is to know your basic traveling information:
- Date of arrival & date of departure. (see our short version Itinerary for available dates)
- How many days you wish to have a Tour
- How many are you? Names, ages and interests
- What are your expectations from your visit to Israel?
Planning your days in Israel
The organized Tour has a day by day planning to ensure all sites are covered.
Where You Stay in Israel

Itinerary Proposal
We have several Tours to choose from.
Booking the Trip
Once you have agreed upon the itinerary and pricing we will ask you for a deposit. Once deposit is paid you can finalize further planning for connecting flights or Transport to O.R Tambo Airport from where all Israel Tours depart.
Pricing is based on the Rand Dollar value mentioned on the date of planning the tour. Prices may be influenced by the fluctuation of the Rand Dollar Value when actually paying for the Tour.
Benefit of Private Smaller Group sizes (Minimum 21 Maximum 30)
- You visit more sites.
- It's more comfortable and relaxed.
- It's more informative.
- It's more personal.
- It can be tailor-made and flexible.

Naomi, I loved the Luis Quiz that you wrote and posted at SOD online. Loved the questions and got them all right! Love Luis and him with Sheridan!
Thank you so much for a delightful Luis Quiz! Keep up the great work!
The little quiz things are cute and all and are appreciated, but how about a real interview with the character? There's always the phone and I'm thinking the actors are probably available at this point. Is there something in their contracts that prevent them from being interviewed or is this a SOD decision?
With the show no longer in production, it's not as easy to get interviews with the actors, many of whom are working on other projects or auditioning. Meantime, I'm trying to represent the show as much as possible.
Thanks for trying, Naomi. I hope you can have an article or feature or something on McKenzie Westmore. She is such a special person and is adored by her fans. Thanks,Ann

A group of broadcast television stations on Thursday sued Aereo, a startup company that plans to allow New York City customers to stream local channels over the Internet.
The lawsuit, filed by Fox, Univision, PBS and local New York City affiliates, accuses Aereo of planning to stream copyrighted material without permission.
Broadcast television is transmitted over-the-air for free to customers with a television antenna.
Aereo plans to operate data centers using tiny antennas to pick up the broadcast signals and then transmitting the video over the Internet. The company will allow a customer to buy access to one of the antennas, so the customer can watch broadcast television on their computer or tablet.
In a statement, Aereo insisted there is nothing illegal about its business plan.
"Consumers are legally entitled to access broadcast television via an antenna and they are entitled to record television content for their personal use," the company said.
"Innovations in technology over time, from digital signals to Digital Video Recorders ('DVRs'), have made access to television easier and better for consumers. Aereo provides technology that enables consumers to use their cloud DVR and their remote antenna to record and watch the broadcast television signal to which they are entitled anywhere they are, whether on a phone, a tablet, a television or a laptop. Aereo looks forward to its upcoming product launch as well as a prompt resolution of these cases."
The company announced that it had received $20 million in funding earlier this month.
But the stations' lawsuit accuses Aereo of trying to use "technological gimmickry" to avoid copyright law.
"It simply does not matter whether Aereo uses one big antenna to receive Plaintiffs' broadcasts and retransmit them to subscribers, or 'tons' of 'tiny' antennas, as Aereo claims it does," the stations wrote. "Simply put, Aereo is an unauthorized Internet delivery service that is receiving, converting and retransmitting broadcast signals to its subscribers for a fee."

Yes. It might be the case that the plights of Tom Hardy characters and those immediately surrounding them are the only plights I care about, as of 08/20/12 (Day of Bane). In Warrior, his accent alone is a work of art. The accent can only be described as Betty-Boop-as-broken-man. It is the farthest thing from a British accent. In moments of rage, the accent only becomes more itself, while in moments of rage, his Australian co-star Joel Edgerton's accent only becomes more Australian.
There is a scene at a slot machine between Hardy and Nick Nolte that will destroy any human. The script of this film was clearly rewritten to be More Hollywood, more treacly, but it will not matter to you once Tommy is through with you. Just as you are like, "Oh, fuck, they made him a WAR HERO? Who is also a DESERTER?" Tommy and his brother (Edgerton) meet on a beach at night in Atlantic City and have a conversation/argument that plays out more brilliantly than the writers of this film probably thought possible.
Last night I dreamt a Christopher Nolan movie of which Tom Hardy was the rightful star. It involved babies being snatched from playgrounds by men wearing subtle earpieces. I got to sit in a control tower and direct Tom to the appropriate babies.

later in the kitchen we will compare –
around here they call them kisses,
bracelet full of bruises
creeps up your arm and becomes a flowerbed.
the nurses all have soft voices, they claim
they do not want to hurt you. but they are too quick,
too quick to bury the hatchet in my veins and
spill sugar inside.
my parents will come by, maybe,
make disapproving sounds and sigh.
make accusations by omission. we will probably
not speak, except that I will say I am tired
which is true. it is hard to sleep, when my screams
so easily become someone else's, a chorus
of ghosts shrieking through the walls, all knowing
the same thing: once you let them tie you down,
feed you warmth, you are bound once again to this earth.
cold drink perspiring, your
hands suddenly clammy,
granite, you order another
float or maybe a milkshake
and a slick hamburger on
a checkered napkin. your
memories don't fit through
the opening of the straw.
this poem is pressed
by the sun like a kiss to
the crook of your arm.
later, when you are
binding envelopes with twine,
signing in sea salt,
casting messages
in empty soda bottles,
think of this first love.
take the bones
they're built around
and pull them down.
the flesh drips off them
like wax while their bodies rise.
their mouths are red
in the half-light and silent.
this place itself is whispering,
it is hungry,
it feeds on feeding
and longs for longing.
its spaces are not vaulted,
but arched – you are certain
this is not a holy place.
but still you have come to watch
the poems as they fall
and pool under their skin,
the poems that are whispered
in bright colored voices
while the lights dim.
this is not what god intended
for the world, but still you have come
to watch and whisper while the poison
of pure longing falls from your body,
less an ecstasy than an obligation of these flickering nights
and the specters floating between them
obscuring the miracle of daybreak.
"it was her wrists. they were beautiful."
- valerie page, v for vendetta
soft underbelly of a fish, full of flesh,
is the spot where veins peel off and breed,
is the spot where she hides wrinkles in old leather
under the scents of lavender and libraries.
nobody falls in love with that anyway,
soft skin showing all its scars.
you see what you want in the bone,
fish-ribs forming a pit in your stomach,
twisting it like a cherry stem you prove your worth,
while she gives her wrist a flick and brings you in.
your eyes open wide, you stare at that spot,
fly-fishing lure on a line, holding you steady,
hiding the rot that builds underneath.
sits on her lip like a flower
makes you mutter to yourself
too many kisses falling into her
open mouth, too many sun-drenched frolics,
too many late nights
distracts you from the capillaries
popping in her eyes and the way they water,
spots of heat staining her cheeks.
while it grows over into pus-dredged weeds,
the mold on her breath talks for her.
having decided that your duty is to bring music
and a little bit of danger to the lifeless streets
of suburbia, you draw yourself up as a rebel with a cause,
hold your arms out like the spirals of the milky way,
sending the glowing children congregating around you
into a feverish whirl, because space is curved
and so are the suburbs you traversed across to bring them here,
winding through hills and streets to conduct
this sermon on a mount, so even the things that
appear to move straight are really spinning around.
you have stolen your father's turntable,
and his old records, and his oversized coat,
and while the sunset begins to stain things
in a golden light, you put the needle
on the vinyl and open old wounds
while the only voice you have ever loved
claws its way out of the box and into
the grooves of the sky, making the stars
scratch and whir, and time instead
settles into the beats, breaks its lineage,
and begins to, like everything, spin.
mold spores sleep
in the blood of a girl
three floors and
a wing away, leaching
poison into her bones.
they will cut them out
in pieces, shine light
through them like
ice cores, and still
she will die. until then,
she is beautiful.
we look more or less
alike, shadows splitting
the spaces where ribs
should be. girls wrapped
in red stripes visit her,
reading poems, leaving
trinkets. I haven't had
a visitor in weeks, and
probably won't again.
across the hospital,
they send me dirty looks,
cursing the unfairness of
it all – she is beautiful and
she will die, I am ugly and
they might be able to save me.
you chew on coffee beans to cleanse your mouth of this
one long silence
it is open like a wound
it festers
when your breath condenses in the cold air you feel its presence
with icy hands it holds yours
it is patient
it is strict
chewing gum is not sufficient; it is sweet, it makes you wonder
about sugar crystals
they grow like bones
they are brittle
but the taste of blood, of coffee, of chocolate with no milk is good
you can remember without remorse
you can sit and think about dreams
without letting them in
and all your pain can stay subcutaneous
as long as you don't speak
haven't you heard what happens to girls in heat?
those sweaty painted-palmed girls
who slide through slick, sick summer days
as though light were some precious commodity
and traded hands instead of staining their backs
and you, little firecracker, fought fahrenheit
with fire, counting the days on your slow-burning fuse,
and in the meantime taking those
romanticized long walks on the beach
holding hands with nirvana
stealing kisses from his pockets
and ultimately concluding that he was too dry,
too serious, too much like thunderstorms
without rain, and not dipping his feet
in the tide, lest the sand stick to them
so you walked off into the horizon,
dragging your worries with you
you said "bring me the blanket,"
and i opened the blinds,
drawn for days,
spilling sticky wine on your skin and
stuffing sweet cheese between your cheeks,
we held a picnic in our third-floor apartment,
sunlight filling our nicest china.
i. you were made of heat,
chewing the sun in your breath mints,
spitting its seeds in the dirt.
a fog clung around your head, the air
entranced by the warmth
coming from your fingertips.
ii. the river ran by a meadow
of crushed glass and pavement,
black and dusty, and blooming everywhere
were broken necklaces and aluminum
flecks of dew.
iii. footsteps and drawstrings,
when you lost one you'd inevitably
take the other. a soft thread of wind
to cut your throat, a dragging adventure
to nowhere.
iv. if you went home and wrote a poem
about your eyes, you'd forget all about
the wax weighing down your eyelids
and taking away your sleep. it was never
a part of your ideal appearance,
lying on a tile floor and looking for a
one-way mirror to take you back.
what if you were the architect
and i was just the dreamer, dissociative,
passing seamlessly through the clumsiest portions
of someone's mind
and we were both cubists
kissing ourselves when we were
supposed to be in love
the confusion came easily when i
in your eyes was no different from you
and a talk was the same as a touch
if you were standing in my way i
could always step around you and thus
be right back where i started with my hands
always on my own throat, always
you were not the saint your yellowed hands
and stained, creased eyes would make you out to be.
you told me you had kissed some other girl and that she
was nothing like me and that's what you liked about her.
you called her chaos and said that every time i locked my
thumbs together the bones began to decay. you said that you
hated when my hair covered my eyes because i never wore it back.
you said my voice never rose above a whisper and you were right
even though you never asked me why.
you were lying when you pretended that you were something
better than me. your ankles had grown together from the years
of letting them hang languidly and some ugly weeds (wildflowers)
had held them there. every word you spoke was folded carefully like
an origami bird that you spit out from the back of your throat, polished
in a sugardrop gloss sticking to the seams. you knew the presentation was
just as important as the message and maybe i knew it too once.
i started off planning to write about me but it never works out.
the walls were once paneled brightly, splashily—
a drop in the bucket or a room on fire
like the roof of pure expression in the form of vivid umbrellas
that now absorbs her every move
when it rains. she is a nicotine stain, no longer trendy,
just old, and compensating with watered-down decaf.
her clothes have gotten grayer every year, and she
blames the laundry. how can she focus
on sorting colors when she's been spitting out
her husband for the last thirty-seven years?
piece by piece, she scrapes off her tongue and gathers
her belongings, which have also dwindled
to this shawl, not meant for the rain, the cacophony
of hanging birds. it's lighter, she would argue,
than any raincoat, and almost as effective, giving her
the appearance of indifference, like her eyes,
which used to garner compliments, swift and vicious,
intended to slowly gouge them out. and now she
smiles in negative, like a dream, and reality passes
her by. even the rain is fading out, an audience
where only the smattering applause of stragglers
remains. and she walks slower than ever, not because
she can't speed up, but because she's humming a song
she used to sing to her son, and in that moment
she becomes a poem, etched in the language
of forgetting, of dissection. but she can be happy,
dripping as she is with newly fallen rain and
a few loose cells floating in her hair.
on the day my sister was born,
my dad took me to a minor league baseball game.
i watched the pitcher as he chewed the
pitcher's mound to shreds with the teeth
of his stride. the ball combed the air, taking with it debris from the kind of sad people
who show up to watch short-a ball
while somewhere, a little girl is
dragging out her claws and staking her
claim on the operating table.
my older brother littered the yard with
bottle caps. this stadium was his dream.
he would have slept in the unheated walls
for a chance to touch all 216 stitches
with two perfect hands.
the batters today are fooled by
a series of nasty changeups that
cough their hearts up. peanut
butter and jelly awaits them in the
dugout. a couple of halfhearted
diehards keep score on the back
of their wrists, the pen tying up
their veins. the pitcher authors
the whole game like that, a painful
i want to leave. the kind of
faultless art makes me sick. he
was born in uniform, certainly,
and glowing, his arm whipping
around from the womb and tossing
out any notion of normalcy his parents
may have held. nobody can touch him.
he never cut his feet on old
beer caps in a quest to touch
a patchwork god.
the next hitter becomes a runner
when his hands take his heart
around the block and come back
with a ball cutting the air, colliding
with a meteor that surely would have
destroyed the world. someday on a
faraway planet they will see that ball
bouncing through the stars, restless as
the man who drove it. that spot on the
atmosphere may never recover from its
brush with non-destiny.
nobody dreams in the minor leagues, not even
the batter-runner whose arms have just
propelled his team to a spot above
heaven. god will surely collapse them soon.
there is a girl somewhere, being bathed
by a stranger. she has ceased to be dead.
a miracle for certain.
we could disapprove so heartily
of everyone around us, so unfamiliar
with the abyss that they were always touching,
they were the emptiness, all ugly laughs at things
they didn't understand. they were the people under sway,
patriotic as they were to hate the countries with no names
and not comprehend all the beauty that flows from chaos.
no books in neutral colors would ever touch their hands
or bruise their minds.
and music becomes noise when sung so loudly
and emotionlessly, if you don't know what you're saying
half the time. i found the city to be a cornucopia, a cacophony even
of dial tones and rushing fingers, busy yellows and belts up around the
iron lungs. the lights would only alternate, never seem to concede the stars
their share of night.
and clothes were only to hold in the edges of
people and their problems that they had to share
in the form of made-up dreams, the communist manifesto
of personality problems and narcissistic smiles.
i've moved from place to place, looking for something quiet,
but the flow of time could only grow louder, and absence hasn't
made my heart grow the weeds of unwanted fondness, but sometimes
i just can't bring myself to even
the space at the back of your knees
was always straight; you never bent your
legs and held the air rigorous around them.
compensating for this, your shoulders were forward,
fixing your eyes on a seam in the sidewalk
just a few inches deep but crawling with breath
and some child's skinned palms
and the gap between your collarbone and rib cage
was a moat. fingers could sink between the lines,
between the countries that made up the map, folding
and unfolding you, and between the rivers of everything
you contemplated as you slept. a smile crept over your spine.
elbows locked around the town, a fist forming the
peak of the hill that everything washed around. you were
the boundaries, the clumsy first kiss behind the school,
the same bricks every time, and nobody is alone. all the
graffiti holds itself in place with memories.
i could tell you were leaving by the way
you said "love" so many times in so few words
and your eyes were already blurred, looking anywhere but here
and the light had moved its way over you, and you wanted to
leave right then, just to separate your body from its tight
and unrelenting binding you had draped yourself in
all those years ago, being in this place
let's be wild and crazy
in a plain white room
with a post-modern unknown painting
not exactly catching our eye
we know it means emptiness but we choose to reject
let's talk to strangers
for the sole purpose of changing our minds
time and time again
we grew up thinking everyone was perfect
and now we know it's true
and beautiful to be unclean
let's wait for the last train
to leave the station and talk about
the people on board; was the girl,
fresh out of college and making all the 20-something
mistakes, seduced into working late? what drew her
to the gray streets of nowhere? are the people on board
just ghosts? we stand on the tracks but know
there's not another train coming
and we feel cheap for pretending
we're going to die
but aren't we?
i used to live in boxes,
not just the ones from packing my life
away and expediting it, or where i would
store myself under old refrigerators,
making soft buzzing noises with my tongue
i kept things in them, wings plucked
from butterflies and soaked in the
sickly sweet scent of formaldehyde.
it was satisfying to separate myself
from all the spheres of influence
and drops in the bucket
of my mind.
the past was all accorded for,
the present mattered not. i could get by
on scratching windowpanes for golden flecks
of light. as long as i had the memories of
being too young to understand thoughts,
i was okay, and okay was a word i could say
without regret. it promised nothing.
so what chance did you stand, all silver
and sparkles, speaking backwards and boiling over
with steam? you pretended it was virtue you were
smoking, hand-rolled, on the slowly sinking porch.
i could taste it as hypocrisy, some softest contradiction.
and i wanted to seal you off, garnished in
a soft sort of word salad, and dressed with adjectives
like "lonely" or maybe just a little bored. my way
was too angular for your knees, softly curved as they were,
and supple on my chest. you compartmentalized
so sloppily into a stream-of-consciousness story.
so there is a box for you, sitting somewhere, and i confess
that i always wanted to sleep alone. a can of soda
can be champagne if i'm celebrating something. and so
i think i'll spend my night sugary and sober, painting
the sky cardboard and faded, like a memory without
a frame to hold it in.

Sunday 17 June 2012
If you've found yourself questioning why we have, need or want so much stuff, Steve McKevitt's Everything Now gives us many credible, well-researched reasons as to why.
He is an expert in marketing, communications and branding with a roster if multinational clients over a 20 year career. Born in Liverpool and now based in Yorkshire the book is published by leading regional press, Route Publishing.
His skill in Everything Now lies in his rendering of the factual with the anecdotal that leaves one thinking, 'so that's how we got to here from there'. He gives cogent reasons as to why we do in fact have these concerns as to why we may still be dissatisfied, despite having 'stuff' all around us.
We presume to have 'everthing now' because we are led to believe that everything is always here now. McKevitt's point being that we need to concentrate on the fact that certain resources are limited. Actually, will become no more. The inference being if we stop merely wanting, by extension we will be free from manufactured and illusory desires.
McKevitt uses UNICEF collected data and WHO figures that explain how the culture that we are living in now is a deliberate product of the last thirty years. All our needs have been met according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, more than any previous generation. "But we are not happier", McKevitt concludes.
He puts forward the idea that now the role of branding is to persuade us that we do not have needs but that we want something, like the latest Smartphones we are constantly proffered. "The solution is simply to demand something different", he argues.
It's not a post-oil apocalyptic vision that he has, and he does believe that science has the answers, he's very optimistic. Through the combination of environmental, economic and political change with self-awareness of our lifestyle and mind-set the onset of social and personal crisis can be avoided.

Hi Tobi, I accepted your friend request. If you're looking for my sketchbook, it's here: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=247004
btw thanks for the comment
Not sure if this is the right place to respond but here it is. Tobs, I use Golden Acrylics and mid to high quality sable brushes on illustration board. I start with washes and work my way up to thicker layers of acrylic.

I beilieve what you are referrubg to is a device called Pandora and it is one of Dante's. It is said to have 666 forms of weapons it can turn into. Use it by cycling through your guns with the L trigger until you see one that looks like a suitcase. It has 2 immediately avaiible PF 262: Jealousy (a mini gun which is the fom it taks whenever you fire it while in mid air). When firing while on the ground its form is that of a bow gun entitled PF013: Epidemic. The upgrades can be purchased with proud souls and are accessed by holding down the fire fun button and moving the control stick left to right2-3 times and releasing to fire. Or if you have upgraded as far as PF: 398 Revenge don't release until you make 2 counterclockwise circles with the joystick following the left to right change. I hope this was helpful cuz it is a FUN gun!
