And another look at who's talking this morning Louisiana's governor Bobby Jindal talking telling Greta Van Susteren his state will not implement the health care changes saying it is just too costly while the governor saying that there have been many broken promises by this administration when it comes to the price that Americans will have to pay.
For the president's health care law listen -- best.
We've seen promise after promise broken by this present when it comes to health care -- real concerns.
Not just the cost of actually running the exchange and what it does to premiums what it does to employers and always in a way does start taxpayers.
Think about all the promises have been broken the president said frames and go down -- -- 500 dollars that went up 9% last year according to Kaiser he said that he was gonna leave Medicare alone protect Medicare.
That -- -- -- actuary says the cuts are not sustainable not realistic.
He said people would lose their plans are doctors some estimates as many as twenty million Americans could lose their health care their employer provided health care coverage.
He -- made promise after promise it's not being kept in obamacare in this health care law.
I think the real cost of the exchanges will be higher health care costs lower quality of health care more government intrusion in micromanaging health care.
That's a big mistake -- when you elect Mitt Romney repeal obamacare and and this culture of dependence the governor will.

Show your support for Snapp on FridayPosted Wednesday, July 27, 2011, at 3:29 PM
When Whitney Snapp was 22, only one year younger than I am now, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the last three years she has fought cancer and landed in remission, only to be told the illness was back.
Despite exhaustion from chemotherapy and curious stares by her peers at Indiana State University because of hair loss, she pressed through her last years of college successfully with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. The cancer has spread to her brain now, at the age of 25, and her last option is to undergo exhausting rounds of radiation. As I sat and thought about what could possibly be going through her mind, I drew a blank. This burden would not only be physically exhausting, but emotionally draining. Not knowing how you'll feel from day to day, or what will happen next. I realized we often times take things for granted. We go about our lives, always hoping for just a little more. We let the small things get to us, like a flat tire for instance. Too many times we don't realize there is someone out in the world, or our community even, who has something much more difficult to deal with. I have written stories about children and older adults who suffered from terrifying illnesses, but not someone so close to my own age. Despite the pain and anxiety, this young lady keeps pushing onward and living her life. Her aunt told me that Whitney started out angry at the entire situation. Questions like "Why me?" almost consuming her. Over the past years she has come to terms with the fact she has the illness. It is just a part of who she is. Always a child of God, she became closer to Him after being diagnosed. "She has complete faith in God, and knows he will be there for her either way," Whitney's aunt, Jennifer Phegley, told me. I only wish I could have faith like this strong, determined young woman. She has taken a situation that most people could not even begin to fathom, and turned it into a learning experience. She continues to devote her life to Him by going to church. To go through such turmoil, and still believe is a feat all it's own. There have been many speed-bumps in the past few years for Whitney, yet she continues to just roll right past them. Kudos to this brave young lady. To support her, the family is having a benefit at Sullivan City Park on Friday from 5-9:30 p.m. Family, friends and supporters are encouraged to attend. Even if you have never met Whitney, enjoy a fun-filled evening with music, a hog roast and various other activities just to show her you are rooting for her, too. She deserves to be encouraged, at the very least, to keep up her excellent attitude and keep pushing towards the road to recovery. Donations are free will, and there will be a silent auction, along with multiple free activities. All donations will go towards Whitney's medical bills. Sabrina is a staff writer for the Greene County Daily World. She can be reached by email at email@example.com . Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] Whitney is my best friend and I have never seen someone with such a positive outlook on life, regardless of the situation. I must mention, though, that she was never angry with the caner, ever. She never sat back and asked "why me." She was in shock for a few days, like many of us were, but once it set in, she was ready to fight..and she has been fighting ever since. She said it is not in her to become hysterical. She is not one to sit back and feel sorry for herself. She is the strongest woman I know and she has dealt with this in a very positive way. We always joke around about it and tease each other a lot. She wouldn't want anyone to feel sorry for her. She loves the Lord and she has complete faith that He will take care of her, as do I. She is in good hands and she has a lot of support and love from everyone. She is someone that I admire and look up to. Please come out and show your support tomorrow night at the Sullivan Park. It is going to be a great time! Thanks for your kind words, Sabrina. God bless, Shea Rose -- Posted by SMC on Thu, Jul 28, 2011, at 11:09 AM

Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha
Talk15this wiki
Redirected from Rockman and Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha
Rockman & Forte: Mirai kara no Chōsensha | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Rockman & Forte: Mirai kara no Chōsensha (ロックマン&フォルテ 未来からの挑戦者 Rokkuman ando Forute: Mirai kara no Chousensha?), translated as Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future in English, is a pesudo-sequel to Mega Man & Bass developed by Bandai in cooperation and under license by Capcom, released in 1999 for the Bandai WonderSwan. The game was one of the last games released in the classic series before Mega Man 9 in 2008.
Like in Mega Man & Bass, the player can choose to play as Mega Man or Bass. Once again Mega Man can charge his shots and slide while Bass can fire in 7 directions (straight up, straight forward, or any diagonal) with a rapid-fire arm cannon, do a double jump, and dash. This time, however, Mega Man and Bass each get different Special Weapons from the Robot Masters they defeat. Auto's shop returns with some of the items from Mega Man & Bass, but now Reggae and Tango are available for Bass and Mega Man respectively.
Rockman & Forte: Mirai kara no Chōsensha only has 8 stages. After finishing the opening stage, five stages are selectable initially, including the opening stage. The first four selectable bosses are (from top to bottom) Dangan Man, Konro Man, Aircon Man and Komuso Man. Defeating all the bosses will unlock the Clock Men, and after defeating them, Compass Man and then finally Rockman Shadow.
From the game's opening scene:[1]
The year is 200X. A group of robots calling themselves the Dimensions attacked Symphony City, a city where people and robots lived in peace. Though without any witnesses, the one leading the Dimensions with overwhelming power was a robot like Rockman. He was said to be a dark and wicked person completely obsessed with destruction. Rockman, who heard this news at Right's laboratory, took off to the scene despite being under maintenance. At the same time, Wily saw the dark Rockman, and to ascertain the mystery he sends Forte to the city. Just who is this dark Rockman really?!
- Rockman Shadow: "My name is Rockman Shadow! I am a robot with great power. I won't forgive those who don't obey me!"
- Rockman: "Stop your harming of everyone! Who the heck are you? How can it be you look just like me?"
- Forte: "I've come to end the life of Rockman who I hate to this day, but somehow this situation is different than usual."
- Rockman: "Forte, I don't have time to be concerned with that now. I must hold back those robots!"
- Forte: "Ch! It can't be helped, Wily's laboratory is near this city. I won't carry out our war of attrition here!"
For the time being, the two had to set aside their differences and face the new threat of the Dimensions. After defeating all of them, they face their leader, Rockman Shadow, and he reveals that he came after the time period that Dr. Wily visited with the Time Skimmer in Mega Man II. In that time, Wily "kidnapped" Rockman and reprogrammed him, turning him into a robot named Quint. Rockman Shadow, however, was created prior to Quint, and is the result of creating a robot like Rockman but ultimately discarding it in favor of turning Rockman into Quint.
Note: The year is given in the game as 200X, but this is often considered either a typographical error or a canonical mistake as the game was, at the time, chronologically the last game in the classic Mega Man/Rockman series, and recent games took place in the more ambiguous 20XX time period.

Forte gameplay
Soundtrack-Intro Stage
- Mega Man ZX Advent references some bosses of this game as comic book characters. If the player can collect a certain Secret Disk, Konro Man appears in the cover of a digital comic book and is described as a walking stove hero. The Hunter Ray says he wants to create a comic book about a robot that fights with a folding fan in each hand (Aircon Man), and the item "Comic (Orange)" that can be obtained in Sharon's request is an action comic about two talking wrist watches (Clock Men).
- This is notably one of the few Mega Man games where Dr. Wily was not the mastermind behind the events or even a boss.
- This is the only Mega Man game to feature mini-bosses in all the Robot Masters stages.
- The Robot Masters in this game do not have an invincibility period after being hit, allowing the player to continuously attack them if possible, though bosses have points in their attack patterns in which they are invincible.
- The Special Weapons in this game do a set damage against all bosses so every boss in the game takes the same amount of damage from a weapon, such as Barrier Wind/Forte Cyclone dealing 5 units of damage to every boss. Rapid hitting weapons deal less damage but easily drain the boss' HP.
- The player does not recover weapon energy between stages in this game.
- The game uses remixed soundtracks from Mega Man & Bass, but degraded in quality to meet the limitations of the WonderSwan.
- After defeating a Robot Master in the game, the portrait of the Robot Master on the stage select screen alters to reflect this.
- This is the only Rockman licensed game to be mentioned in the book R20 Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works.
- The player can have only a maximum of eight lives in this game as opposed to the traditional nine.
- Enemies in this game resemble enemies from the X series as many are insects, as well as Batton Bones being common place throughout stages. It is possible that the enemies fought are early production Mechnoloids.

A 22-year-old Kamloops man is on life support at Royal Inland Hospital after his car skidded eastbound off Trans-Canada Highway just east of the Columbia Street overpass at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, RCMP said in a press release.
The driver was the lone occupant in a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier when it went out of control to the left and rolled down a 30-foot embankment before landing on its wheels in the median behind Accent Inns.
The driver was rushed to hospital with severe chest and head trauma.
Roads were wet and slippery at the time of the crash, with a thin sheen visible on the overpass when emergency vehicles arrived on scene. The eastbound lane was closed for several hours while a traffic reconstruction expert surveyed the scene. A mechanical inspection of the vehicle is also being carried out.
Police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash, especially a young man who stopped and attended the driver and helped ambulance crews on the scene.
Police are reminding drivers that winter conditions are taking hold as overnight subzero temperatures combine with wet conditions to create compact snow, ice and black ice. Drivers should slow down, leave extra space between vehicles and be more attentive. It's also a good idea to leave earlier for your destination so you aren't rushed.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Kamloops RCMP Traffic Section at 250-828-3000.

If Maria Sharapova has any rust in her game she didn't let it show Monday morning at the Australian Open — the 2012 runner-up put on a blistering performance in a first-round 6-0 6-0 victory in just 55 minutes over compatriot Olga Puchkova.
There were question marks surrounding Sharapova because she came into the first Slam of the year with a neck injury that forced her out of the Brisbane International two weeks ago and left her without match practice.
But at Rod Laver Arena, the 2008 Open champion rocketed to a first-set lead over Puchkova, ranked No.107, in just 30 minutes.
"I didn't want to focus on the fact I hadn't played a lot of matches," Sharapova said after the win.
"(I) just wanted to focus on just what was ahead of me and really concentrate and, you know, be aggressive. I also never faced her before ... so it was just one of those matches where I didn't try to worry about her too much."
In her opening service game of the second set, the No.2 seed was challenged for a spell, Puchkova nailing a forehand winner down the line to force deuce. But Sharapova served her way out of that game, and was continuously too consistent for the 25-year-old.
Sharapova, also 25, had been concerned about how consistent she would be on court. But the Siberia native didn't have to worry when she skipped out to a 3-0 lead in the second set, securing her first win since October of last year.
The 2012 French Open champion fired 18 winners in the match to just four from Puchkova.
"Overall I was happy with the way I started, considering I didn't play any matches coming in," Sharapova added.
Sharapova hit six aces in the match and put in 68 per cent of first serves – a healthy statistic for someone with queries about her freshness. She won an astonishing six of eight break points against Puchkova, capitilising on her opportunities.
The Russian finished off the match thanks to a groundstroke long from her opponent, Puchkova's 16th unforced error of the day to just 11 for Maria.
Sharapova next faces the winner of Misaki Doi and Petra Martic match, and her Sharapova's potential third-round opponent, Venus Williams, was also a quick winner to start off the day on Monday. The American won through 6-1, 6-0 against Galina Voskoboeva, meaning both women need to win just one more match to set up a blockbuster third round encounter.

Caruso SalonPro 30 Molecular Steam Hairs...JenBend, OregonHairMedium BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairFinally. Hot Rollers Worth Having.I have mid-back length, straight, fine hair. I have been really excited by all of the recent wave and spiral trends I see but have struggled to reproduce them myself. My stylist is a whiz with a flat iron, but I can't seem to get mine to work...until NOW.
I went with the Caruso after watching a youtube video of a girl using them and getting incredible results! I liked how it wasn't edited and chopped...I'm a skeptic so I'd be afraid she was "faking" using them. No way...and they gave me the bestest bestest results ever! I'm sold, who'd have thought STEAM was what I needed!?!?!?
These give me huge, bouncy spiral curls that seriously last ALL day with little/no product. My boyfriend is a huge fan--he said it's what my hair was made to look like, naturally. He complimented me all day the first time I wore it.

Caruso SalonPro 30 Molecular Steam Hairs...Busy B.PennsylvaniaBeachy WavesMy hair does not want to curl and doesn't really hold curl. It's halfway down my back, fine but thick. (i.e. I have a lot of hair)
I get beachy waves from this steam setter. Not ringlets, unfortunately.
It does seem to give my hair a smooth, polished look though, which I do like, even though it's not curly at all. But that's my hair type, not the appliance's fault. It is easy to use, heats up fast and the rolling process goes pretty quickly once you find your rhythm. The curlers are very lightweight while on your head, and they don't pull at the hair. Sort of bulky to store in the bathroom, though..posted Jun 4, 2013Link to this post -
Caruso Diva Deluxe Roller Gift SetUlrikeLas Vegas, NVHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThe Perfect Solution!100 % satisfied! This really works!
My hair is straight and fine. What ever I tried in the past, curling iron, curling brush, styling gels etc. only lasted until lunch, if that long. The steam curling system is easy, fast and the result will last all day, sometimes even for another day. The different size curlers let me have the control if I like it light or medium wavy or curly. Best yet, the steam does not damage the hair like irons do.
The pros are that you don't need a lot of talent to do this. It does not take long and by the time I get done with the last curler I can start taking out the first ones. No hanging around with curlers in your hair.
It does not make your hair suffer like other systems.
It is LONG lasting and you can change the size of curlers to get a different result.
The cons are (if any) that the curlers don't last forever. The foam does wear out with time. I would guess 6 month before replacing them. I stocked up.
Best use distilled water to avoid hard water stains in the steamer. I dry the bowl out when I am done.
I AM TRULY VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMENED IT TO ANYONE WHO WISHES FOR A LITTLE OR A LOT OF LIFE TO THEIR HAIR THAT STAYS ALL DAY!posted May 3, 2013Link to this post -

Caruso Diva Deluxe Roller Gift SetKimberly B.NYCHairAuburnColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairHealthy For Your Hair And Works Amazing!My hairdresser recommended this product because the steam heat is so much gentler on my hair than my regular curling iron (even the ceramic one). It hardly takes any time at all for the water to heat up, and even leaving the curlers in for a few seconds gives my hair an amazing bounce.

Caruso SalonPro 30 Molecular Steam Hairs...MargieNova ScotiaHairBlondeNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairSurprisingly Curly!!!I just received my Caruso SalonPro last week, and couldn't wait to try it. I read both types of reviews - good & bad, but still decided to give it a shot. My hair is suffering from breakage from a combination of using a regular curling iron/straightener/hair dryer and washing it too much. Not only does this system give you BEAUTIFUL bouncy curls in 10 minutes, it infuses MOISTURE into your hair!!! I'm so excited to own this! I didn't think that foam and steam could make such beautiful curls, so I may have made them a bit too tight for the first try. I was so pleased with the curls, I didn't even use hairspray, and they stayed in all night. I even brushed my hair and wore it wavy the next day. My hairdresser was so impressed, she will be buying one too!!
Thank you so much! So glad I went this route instead of with traditional hot rollers.posted Mar 22, 2013Link to this post -

Caruso Professional Roller PackLinda J.CaliforniaHairBlondeDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairMy Hair Can't Do Without Them!!!. My hair is: blonde, dry, shoulder length and I color it. I bought this product because: These curlers are the only ones I have ever found to really curl my hair. I used it this way: I already had the steamer and I had wore out the sponge on the curlers. So I had to buy more curlers. I had a really hard time finding them. But Folica carried them. I followed the directions. I liked it because I received the curlers within days of ordering them.: I would recommend folica for all your hair products. I think it would be good for someone with hair like mine dry and color treated hair. My hair is so straight other wise. But with the molecular curlers my hair is so curly and stays curly along time. I get compliments all the time about the way my hair is curled. Final thoughts Molecular curlers are the way to go. They don't damage your hair at all and Folica carries all of them.posted Oct 17, 2012Link to this post

NEW YORK (AP) — Detroit Tigers pitcher Fernando Rodney has been suspended for three games and fined for throwing a ball toward the stands following a game last week.
During a postgame celebration on the field after Detroit beat Tampa Bay 4-3 on Friday night, Rodney threw the game ball toward the seats and it ended up in the press box. No one was hit by the ball, which Rodney said he was throwing to the fans.
Rodney said at the time he was "feeling the moment."
The penalty was announced Tuesday by baseball vice president for discipline Bob Watson. If the players' association appeals, the suspension would be delayed.

FOR OPTIMAL CONDITIONS: Use in densely populated area. Make sure as many people can see you as possible. To do this, hold the iPhone at eye level roughly a meter away from your face in order to enhance the possibility that people know you have an iPhone. If this does not work, enter conversations which seem to be discussing a problem and offer an application on your iPhone as a solution. If they ask who you are and why you're talking to them, ignore them. If these solutions do not work, simply stand on the highest surface around and scream "HEY EVERYONE I HAVE A FUCKING iPHONE!"
After opening the Snuggie box, find a person and obtain a stapler or sewing machine. Hand them the stapler and the next page of directions. Do not read these directions, but rather hand them to the other person with the stapler. This is very important, and if you fail to follow this direction carefully you may permanently damage your Snuggie.
(Next Page)
Instruct the owner to put on the Snuggie. Next tell them to close their eyes. If they ask why, tell them it's a surprise. Find the nearest object which can inflict the greatest amount of blunt force trauma. Use this object to eliminate the mental capacity of the snuggie owner. Next, use the stapler/sewing machine to package the Snuggie owner. Finally, carry the Snuggie package to the nearest dumpster and place it within.

Common rap themes:
-Grandiose Narcissism
-Excessive Material Wealth
-Objectification of Women
-Being "Hard"
-Pride towards hometown
I figured, what if I turned these upside down and instead used their contrasts?
-Ridiculously low self-esteem
-Quixotic treatment of women
-Being a wimp
-Hatred of hometown
…and subsequently wrote a rap about it (utilizing the same stylistic tendencies of hyperbole, vulgar language, and rhyme). Here's what ensues:
"First Date"
by The Paragodox
I approach the lovely lady outside Chili's Bar and Grill
Hope I don't destroy this first date, ya feel?
I stammer, Hey there Miss, how do you do?
Would you like me to open that door for you?
Oops I tripped on my way to the handle…
To a paralyzed klutz boy, I hold a candle
Fuckin' Mademoiselle, shall I pick up the tab?
Here's twenty dollars, all that I have
I'm so poor I make my dead bro look rich
Damn, I just dissed him, I'm a fuckin' snitch
I haven't had a girlfriend in fifteen years
Probably because every date I break down in tears
She asks me "Yo Parago, what's the matta'?"
I say, "Pardon miss, my heart's been shatta'd…"
She tells me to grow some muthafuckin' balls
Water be flowin' down my face worse than bathroom stalls
I run to da bafroom, take a look in the mirror
Shit, My clothes be lookin' worse than a baboon's rear
Runnin' back to her I find she done left
I stood there and took a goddamn breath
I smiled at the waitress who returned a glare
I reach into my pocket, nothing was there
Couldn't leave a tip, so I ran up to da fuckin' fair lady
Gave a fuckin' kiss on the hand, got hit harder than Tom Brady
I sighed as I walked out and cursed my sociability
As for tomorrow, masturbation in tranquility

Grab a Button!
Product 564/2403
Getting magically eaten by a dragon wasn't part of the plan. Really, there hadn't been much of a plan to begin with, but it had definitely involved more dragon slaying and less getting knocked unconscious. Even the unconsciousness wouldn't be so bad if it didn't push Ashe closer to death each time.
Katsu is worried sick at Ashe's descent. He's worried enough to find a dragon whisperer to help, despite the fact that he hates her. He hates her appearance, he hates her attitude, and he especially hates the way she's helping his lover when he couldn't. Despite this, he hopes she succeeds -- or soon Ashe won't be alive at all.

Hip Hop
Hip hop is a musical genre which developed alongside hip hop culture, defined by key stylistic elements such as rapping, DJing, sampling, scratching and beatboxing. Hip hop began in the Bronx in New York City in the 1970s, primarily among African Americans and Jamaican Americans, with some Latino influences. The term rap is often used synonymously with hip hop, but hip hop denotes the practices of an entire subculture.

Clos LaChance 2009 Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mnts.
Item Number: 17 20 171 09
Founded in 1992 Clos LaChance is a family-owned and operated winery in the Northern Central Coast region of California. Sourcing from estate vineyards and growers in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, they produce a variety of outstanding wines, not the least of which is their Pinot Noir. The poor, rocky soils make grape vines struggle and reduce yields while the high altitude and ocean breezes cool down the vineyards allowing the sun-drenched berries to ripen slowly and evenly, taking on deep flavors. This wine was aged for 14 months in French and American oak, 20% new. From the outstanding 2009 vintage, additional bottle age has brought out more nuance and a silky texture for peak of drinkability. There are cherries, strawberries, rhubarb as well as earthy, smoky nuances. A good backbone of acidity keeps it lively through a long, lingering finish. This is a limited availability wine that you won�t want to miss while it's On Sale!

Current Research Projects:
1. Longitudinal psychosocial assessment of verified minor and late recruits (VMLR) of Moist combatants during the reintegration process: The successful rehabilitation of VMLR is an important step towards bringing a sustainable peace to the country. However, very less has been known on how communities perceive to the VMLR and vise versa and how VMLR's personal characteristics and experiences during and after conflict affect their choices and attitudes toward re-integrating into society.
Various challenges and threats have been reported while re-integrating the ex-combatants in the community in other post-conflict nations. Lack of trust from others and family members were found one of the major challenges among Colombian former combatants, hence more psychosocial attention, more information about the process of re-integration, and activities to keep them busy were major recommendations of the combatants (Liliasa, 2007
In our context, VMLR were living and enjoying the collective cultural lives for long time before they formally released from the cantonment but after released from the camp, they are trying to reintegrate in the community and spending individual life however it has been difficult to most of the VMLR due to lack of the trust among families, relatives and communities and they are suffering from psychosocial, economic and sociopolitical problems in the community (TPO Nepal, Project report 2010).
In such a situation, TPO Nepal has conducted a longitudional assessment with 400 VMLRs to explore the current situation and perspective of VMLRs on re-integration process, protective and risk factors and monitor the progress of their psychosocial and mental health well-being over time during March-April, 2011.
2. An Assessment on Community Perception on Mobile Health Camp Services: TPO Nepal is the psychosocial partner on a UNICEF/UNFPA project to address cases of sexual violence committed during the conflict in 14 districts. The holistic approach combines information gathering with service delivery (legal, reproductive health and psychosocial support) in order to avoid re-traumatizing or stigmatizing survivors.
TPO Nepal has also conducted an assessment to explore the perception of beneficiaries and community members on mobile health camp services, to identify the linkage of psychosocial well-being and experience of other problems such as SGBV, reproductive health, legal and other form of exploitations. It was conducted in two districts Surkhet and Siraha. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used in the assessment.
3. Field Testing of HESPER Scale in Nepal: TPO Nepal, in collaboration with Kings College London, Healthnet TPO, UNHCR and WHO Geneva, field tested the HESPER (Humanitarian Emergency Situation Perceived Need) scale in Nepal. The scale measures the serious problems of adults living in humanitarian situations, based directly on their own views. The aim of the field test was to have a contextualized instrument to measure unmet needs in immediate post disaster and other humanitarian.
Past Research Projects:
1. Assessment of Substance Abuse among Bhutanese Refugees:
TPO Nepal conducted a substance abuse assessment among 8,501 Bhutanese Refugees in two refugee camps. The overall objective of the assessment was to identify the number of people using alcohol and engaging in hazardous drinking, in order to develop a multi-sectoral community based intervention to assist those who are found to have hazardous drinking habits and/or are dependent upon alcohol. The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identifi cation Test), developed by WHO, was used to identify problematic drinking. The overall prevalence rate of alcohol use was 14.4%. Among the alcohol users, nearly one-fi fth (19%) were found to be alcohol abusers based on the AUDIT cut off score, 41% were hazardous drinkers, more than one-fi fth had alcoholic dependence syndrome and average of 34.8% were harmful drinkers.
2. Psychosocial Assessment of Children in Burner, Pakistan:
TPO Nepal provided technical support for a psychosocial assessment of children in Buner, Pakistan in the areas of study design, training of research assistants, supervision of data collection, data entry, data analysis and report writing. The objective of the assessment was to identify the psychosocial and mental health status of children in this post-confl ict setting in order to inform interventions and program development to address their psychosocial and mental health needs. Of the total 300 children questioned, 10% met criteria for probable psychiatric disorders
3. Psychosocial Assessment of Urban Refugees in Kathmandu:
TPO Nepal, in collaboration with Fiona Thomas (Master's student) from London School of Management, conducted a qualitative study on the coping mechanisms of Somali and Pakistani refugees living in Kathmandu. The study utilized individual interviews, focus groups and photo-voice methodology to examine the refugees' experiences of displacement, with a focus on coping behaviour and aspects of resilience.

We were pleased to be offered un upgrade to the new generation room, which gave our son a bed instead of an underbed pull-out. However our double bed... mattress was so hard it was like sleeping on the floor, which gave us both a lot of back pain, which is unfortunate as we had previously stayed at the Campanile near Eurodisney which had a confortable mattress and this was one of the reason we chose that hotel chain.

Closed headphones, also known as sealed headphones, have a solid-back earcup construction preventing noises from leaking into or out of the headphone. Hence, closed headphones can block ambient environmental noise and will also prevent others nearby from hearing your music "leaking" out of the headphones. Closed-back designs may be either full size ('circumaural') or earpad ('supra-aural') types, and all noise cancelling headphones are also closed-back. Audio professionals such as DJs and location recordists and also most portable or mobile listeners will likely choose closed headphones. The sound quality of closed cans has continuously improved in recent years and some now compete directly with top 'open-back' headphones.

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Juvenile & Young Adult Literature Series, Supplement)
The script for The Miracle Worker begins with a general description of the set, which consists of two areas divided by a diagonal line. The area behind the diagonal represents the Keller house and includes two rooms and a porch area. The other area accommodates a variety of sets as needed. According to William Gibson, since the essential qualities of the set "are fluidity and spacial counterpoint," the less set there is, the better.
Act 1 begins with three adults gathered about a crib. Directions are minimal: Kate Keller is described as "a young gentle woman with a sweet and girlish face," the doctor as "elderly" with a "stethoscope at neck, thermometer in fingers," and Captain Keller as a "hearty gentleman in his forties with chin whiskers." The three adults are to appear with "tired bearing and disarranged clothing" to show that they have been through a long vigil. While the dialogue begins with the announcement that the child will survive her ordeal, her mother quickly discovers that the child is blind and deaf.
Although scenes are not noted as such, directions for a scene change are given using lights and distant belfry chimes. Three children and a dog are on stage when the lights rise. Two are described simply as "Negroes," while Helen is described as "six and a half years old, quite unkempt in body, and vivacious little person with a fine head, attractive, but noticeably blind, one eye larger and...

The Play (Masterplots II: Drama)
The Miracle Worker begins as a doctor reassures the parents of the infant Helen Keller that their daughter's fever has passed; she will survive her severe illness. After the doctor leaves, the mother notices that the baby responds neither to hand movements in front of her eyes nor to any sounds. The anguished parents futilely call her name as the stage lights quickly dim.
When the lights rise, six-and-a-half-year-old Helen is playing with children who have cut out paper dolls. Attractive but unkempt and "noticeably blind," with gestures that are "abrupt, insistent, [and] lacking in human restraint," she is clearly undisciplined and often temperamental. She disrupts the group's play, unknowingly using the scissors to menace her playmates' eyes. Despite the family's apparent strain, her mother remains patiently protective, and her father refuses to have Helen institutionalized, though she is thought to be mentally defective. Groping around the room, Helen knocks over furniture and cries until comforted by her mother. Trying to communicate, she makes only "an inarticulate weird noise in her throat such as an animal in a trap might make." Nevertheless, there are some signs of intelligence: Realizing that her cloth doll lacks eyes, for example, she cleverly snatches buttons from her aunt's dress to provide some. Although other doctors have failed, Keller agrees to write to a specialist in Boston.
In the next scene,...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*Keller house
*Keller house. Two-story farmhouse located near Tuscumbia, Alabama, that was Helen Keller's birthplace and the home in which she grew up. Gibson's script calls for a set consisting of two areas divided by a diagonal line. The area behind the line represents the Keller house and includes two rooms and a porch area. The other area accommodates a variety of other settings as needed. Audiences can best appreciate the simple setting by trying to imagine how a blind and deaf child who initially has no concept of human language would interact with surroundings that she can neither see nor hear.
Angry and full of incomprehension of the world outside her body, Helen lashes out at those around her until Annie Sullivan forces her to settle down, behave civilly, and begin to learn how to understand the world in terms of language, which she teaches Helen through hand movements. Shortly after Annie arrives, she and Helen have a fight, which Helen wins by locking Annie in her room and hiding the key. Annie wins the next big fight by forcing Helen to eat off her own plate with a spoon. Afterward, she takes Helen from the main house to live with her in a detached garden house, where she can exercise complete control over Helen to break her of her almost feral habits. The play's "miracle" occurs when Annie makes Helen pump water into a pitcher, and Helen finally grasps the connection between Annie's hand movements and water,...

Dramatic Devices (Masterplots II: Drama)
In his production notes for The Miracle Worker, William Gibson specifies that "the convention of the staging is one of cutting through time and place, and its essential qualities are fluidity and spatial counterpoint." The stage space is divided diagonally, from downstage right to upstage left, into two areas. Behind the diagonal, on platforms, is the Keller house, in which the downstairs family room and an upstairs bedroom are visible; on the stage level, outside the porch, is the water pump. A neutral stage space in front of the diagonal is used at different times to represent various places, including the offices of the Perkins Institute for the Blind, a train station, the garden house, and the front yard of the Keller home.
Props are used to define the neutral area as needed. Thus, for example, a long table, a chair, and teaching equipment for the blind define the area as the Perkins Institute. For the scenes in the garden house, the requisite props are carried on and off stage in full view of the audience and without heed to the imaginary walls, which are themselves defined by the furniture and draperies that are brought on. Accordingly, Gibson maintains that "the less set there is, the better," since "in a literal set, the fluidity will seem merely episodic." He also suggests that, apart from functional requirements of props (doors with locks, the upstairs window, the water pump, and the like), the set should be constructed so...

Historical Context
Prejudice and Fear in America during the 1880s and 1950s
The Miracle Worker was written in the United States during the late 1950s, which was the beginning of a period of change in American society. The country had just witnessed the paranoia of the McCarthy hearings, during which many theatre artists were charged with participating in "un-American" activities, or simply accused of being Communists. The mid-to late 1950s also witnessed the beginning of the Civil Rights movement in the southern U.S., including in Alabama, where The Miracle Worker is set. In American theatre, audiences had seen the crumbling facade of the American dream in the plays of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. All of these aspects are a part of The Miracle Worker in its form, origin, and focus.
Although the subject of The Miracle Worker is not the paranoia of possible Communist invasion or the civil rights of African Americans in the 1950s, both of these factor into an underlying theme of the play: prejudice and fear. In the play, the prejudice and fear that arise from misunderstanding are brought to light. The most obvious example of this is the way in which the Kellers treat Helen. They use Helen's handicap as a reason to treat her with pity and for their reluctance to discipline her. The Kellers' s fear and...

Literary Style
The most striking aspect of the construction of The Miracle Worker is the style in which the play is written. Although realistic in tone, The Miracle Worker often makes use of cinematic shifts in time and space to illuminate the effect of the past on the present in a manner analogous to Arthur Miller's Death Of A Salesman. It is clear that Gibson was influenced by Death Of A Salesman, which was written in 1949, especially in terms of his use of flashback and stage space. The realistic tone of The Miracle Worker comes through in the dialogue, which is similar to the way that people talk to each other in real life. It is Gibson's use of flashback that brings about many of the cinematic shifts within the linear action of the play. The first of these flashback scenes occurs at the play's opening, when the audience learns how Helen Keller first became deaf and blind. The scene depicts the incident which sets the wheels in motion for the rest of the events in the play. Right after this scene, the audience is taken into "real" time and the action proceeds chronologically.
After this initial scene, the use of flashback in The Miracle Worker changes. Unlike Death Of A Salesman, in which the characters actually step into the past and play out scenes, Gibson uses offstage voices whenever he wants to set past events against the action of the present. Gibson uses this device solely...

Compare and Contrast
1880s: Alabama and the rest of the South just finished living through the period of Reconstruction (1865-77) which followed the Civil War. Southerners were suspicious of the North's methods and ideas, including rights for African Americans.
1950s: Alabama attracts international attention as the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), led by Martin Luther King, Jr., helped the black community to mobilize and plan a strategy to realize their goals, which included desegregation and voting rights.
Today: The United States government and much of American society has adapted to accommodate and promote the ideas of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. There are still some citizens, however, who choose to keep their racist and separatists beliefs even though the law does not support them. Subversive groups such as the Ku Klux Klan continue to exist and promote their message of hatred and division.
1880s: African Americans in the South struggle to find their place in society. Most work as servants in the households of the wealthy white families.
1950s: The practice of segregation led to little opportunity for African Americans to receive higher education...

Media Adaptations
The Miracle Worker was originally written for television and produced on CBS's Playhouse 90 in February of 1957. Teresa Wright starred as Annie and Patty McCormack portrayed Helen.
The film version of The Miracle Worker was produced in 1962 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was adapted by Gibson himself, directed by Arthur Penn, and stars Anne Bancroft as Annie and Patty Duke as Helen—both leads in the original Broadway production of the play. The film is available on videocassette.
The 1979 television remake of The Miracle Worker, which stars Patty Duke as the teacher Annie and Melissa Gilbert as Helen, is available on videocassette from Warner Home Video. The production bears noting, as the same script used for the original Playhouse 90 production was used for this remake.

John is an avid hiker, spending a goodly portion of his time up in the hills, or sitting in front of a computer.
Trail Notes: Since the Westside road was washed out, or more accurately undercut the road ends in about 3.3 miles. From here you must hike up the road for about an hour. The views aren't bad going easy. Knowing that you saved a bunch of time from taking the Kautz Creek entrance and get to cross a killer suspension bridge going this way makes it all the more pleasant. As you are moving along as you near the one hour mark make sure to look for the trail to the North (right side) of the road. It is somewhat easy to miss as it isn't formally endorsed as the main entrance to Indian Henry's Hunting Ground. The trail starts out in a hairpin turn which as you are heading up the road is to your left. Don't worry you won't miss it! When we were there a government vehicle was parked there. No doubt the Rangers take this route to Indian Henry's as it is more fun and shorter.
Having found the trail begin following it. It is somewhat rough as it isn't maintained, though the trail is still in good shape. As you make your way along the trail within the first 20-30 minutes you come to a washed out section which has a temporary type trail through the landslide. After this section the trails continues along at a rather gentle grade through old growth forest for about 30-40 minutes. As you make your way along Tahoma creek you can observe the damage caused by the 19xx blah resulting in the radical erosion of the river channel and sidewalls. About this time you reach another washed out section of the trail, this one necessitating a climb up an over it. Again a trail still exists but caution should be exercised as it is quite steep and losing control could be quite costly.
With that behind you it is still about another 40 minutes to the junction with the Wonderland Loop Trail. During these 40 minutes the trail continues on much like it has at a nice easy going clip. The views across Tahoma Creek continue to get better and better though no real views of Mt. Rainier are to be had.
Upon reaching the Wonderland trail it is only a short 5 minutes or so to the suspension bridge crossing Tahoma creek. I had been looking forward to crossing this bridge for a long time. If you like the suspension bridge crossing the Carbon River you will love this one. It is much longer maybe 250ft and is about that far up from the river. I am a little phobic about heights and felt uncomfortable stopping mid-span and taking my camera out for a mid-span shot but felt quite safe walking across the bridge. It really is super fun and not to be missed. Unless you have serious aversion to heights or have small children in which case it is probably best to take the Kautz Creek trail to Indian Henry's Hunting Ground.
Across the bridge the trail take a series of switchbacks to gain the ridge. I found this section to be interesting in that the undergrowth was markedly absent and the rock mostly erratic and about 3 inches across. Once you have crested the switchback which only takes about 15 minutes you are offered your first real view of Mt. Rainier and is it ever a view. Can only make you look all that much more forward to what lies ahead.
From here on the trail continues through old growth forest with varying degrees of steepness from almost flat to pretty steep. As is almost always the case the steep sections aren't very long. You will know you are getting close to the ridge when the trees begin giving way to Alpine meadows. At this point it is only about another 20 minutes or so to go.
Having gained the ridge now in full meadows with Mt. Rainier as big as can be right in front of you you think why haven't I done this one sooner. It is spectacular. Shortly thereafter you will come upon a junction with a side trail to Mirror Lakes. Definitely take this as the view from the lake is very nice and following the trail beyond affords an excellent place to have some lunch.
After that we headed back to the main trail and towards the Indian Henry's Hunting Ground rangers Cabin which again proved to be an excellent destination well worth the trivial amount of additional energy to make it there. With a little planning one could do an incredible loop starting from the Westside road going up to Indian Henry's and then down Kautz Creek...or visa versa. Either way two vehicles or at least a bike should be placed at one of the entrances at the road distance would be several miles. This is a super hike. If you have done the Kautz Creek route please leave a review about that!

All right, mock to your heart's content
Of many possibilities for Toronto; Doug makes his pick below. |
Here's the thing: This is hard.
You talk to this assistant coach and you get this order; you talk to that scout and you get that order; you talk to this guy and you get an e-mail equivalent of a blank stare. A scout tells you one thing, another beat guy tells you another.
And then you put it all down on a screen and it looks like the entire draft for the Raptors will depend on what Don Nelson and Larry Riley want in Golden State and if you can figure that out for sure, you're a far better person than I.
Anyway, into the breach we go with Mock 2.0, An Exercise In Futility
(Please, remember, this should be used for the basis of entertainment and discussion only, no gambling allowed):
L.A. Clippers
And that's about as insightful as we need to get on this one.
Blake Griffin, Oklahoma.
This is actually where the draft starts. And so does the intrigue.
They need pretty much everything and have their choice of just about everything. The sexy pick, and the one that might sell a ticket or two, would be Tyreke Evans, who went to school in Memphis, but the consensus out there is that he's not a good fit.
So, they do the expected, even if it kind of duplicates Marc Gasol.
Hasheem Thabeet, Connecticut.
The First Annual LaRue Martin Draft Bust List |
Oklahoma City
Not much has changed here, it's got to be a two-man race between Evans and Ricky Rubio, doesn't it? I know Minnesota loves Rubio and there might be a deal here or there might have been one for the Memphis pick, although I don't see Thabeet sliding past the Thunders if he's there.
So, it's got to be …
Ricky Rubio, Spain.
The wise Sam Amick of the Sacramento Bee writes that there might be a bit of a surprise pick here. And since the decision's really been made for them with what transpired five minutes earlier, why wouldn't he be right? Of course, if he's wrong and they go for Dell's kid, nobody would be surprised.
Tyreke Evans, Memphis
Oh, there will be angst in the Twin Cities; they covet Rubio like mad. They may be putting Paella alongside fish on all the best menus in town as we speak.
Trouble is, he's going to be gone if not to the Timberwolves in some trade, at least to one of the four teams above them.
Minnesota shook up the whole draft by getting the extra slot and no matter what, they should get a couple of pretty good players, it just depends on the order in which they take them.
Jonny Flynn, Syracuse.
These guys again?
Okay, they got one backcourt spot filled with their first choice and while Jerry Zygoda thinks one thing in this story out of the Star-Tribune, I'm not so sure.
Late-night whispers sent me in another direction and despite my misgivings (I think Stephen Curry's the right fit, too), I'll stick to what I heard. Besides, Curry might be gone.
James Harden, Arizona State.
Golden State
Logic says one thing but the Warriors can be so wacky, I'm not sure logic holds here. They seem to be divesting themselves of Jamal Crawford for a couple of iffy guards, which does nothing to solve the Monta Ellis dilemma, he's still their best point guard and I don't think they take anyone ahead of him.
Holiday didn't work out for them, and they really don't need to go off the board for a swingman, do they? No, which means they might.
Let's go with the one that makes sense and hope Nellie and Larry Riley concur:
Jordan Hill, Arizona.
New York
Finally, one that makes sense and one we figured on right from the start. Does that mean it'll happen? Well, if everything unfolds like I've just laid out it sure will. That, though, is unlikely to have happened. And Dell Curry can have a nice birthday party with his kid. But if Minnesota scoops Curry with one of its picks, I think Harden lands here.
Stephen Curry, Davidson.
Okay, here's where the rubber, as they say, hits the road.
All three guys they like – Holiday, DeRozan and Johnson – could very well be here and then it's decision time.
And I have no real feel for what they'll do. I think there are people around the table who love Holiday, those who love DeRozan and those who think Johnson's the best bet to step in and contribute right away.
The feeling I got from talks yesterday is that the discussion will go on all day into the early evening.
The gut says DeRozan, right? Teenager with boatloads of potential, 6-7, jump out of the gym.
But what about Holiday? We know Bryan loves guys who can play multiple positions and I know they think they can put him on the court with Jose or without him and that's some backcourt versatility.
But they have no twos or threes, right? That's a huge hole and I don't know if they can fill both starting spots in free agency. I guess they could start Jose, Delfino, either Marion or his replacement and Bosh and Bargnani, right?
Seriously, I think you can make the case for all three.
I'm going to go off the board here a bit and suggest this:
Jrue Holiday.
And I'm fully prepared to be mocked unmercifully.
Another confusing one, at least a little bit. They need a point guard but I wonder if Jennings is a fit with Scott Skiles and there aren't a lot of other point guards left who you'd take at No. 10, are there? They dealt Richard Jefferson, which everyone figures is so they can sign Charlie this summer but what if they did it to sign Sessions?
I have a feeling, and it's little more than that, that they go safe and old.
James Johnson, Wake Forest.
New Jersey
For real, this is the name I heard yesterday for more than one source and, as you can read here, the uber-smart Dave D concurs. Sort of make sense, too, but I'm not sure anyone figured on DeRozan falling this far. Still, I trust my boys.
Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina
This can't be this easy, can it? My Man Rick Bonnell writes here that they want Terrence Williams and, lo and behold, Terrence Williams is still on the board!
So …
Terrence Williams, Louisville.
Every indication I've got is that they want a guard, which seems a bit odd given all the guards they've got. But they also need some help on the wing and could use some assistance in the post. Other than that, they're ready to do. But, they also need to spark some fan interest so the local kid makes sense. Sort of.
Jeff Teague, Wake Forest.
No Shaq, apparently, and who knows what they do with Amare over the summer so they have to get bigger, right? Or do they go with DeRozan because he fits their style of play better? Good questions. And I have few answers. I'm certainly not sold on the other Lopez or the Amundson kid as long term fixes so I bet they take Grant Hill's replacement.

So there you have it.
I have no idea if this is how it plays out, which is going to make tonight rather interesting, I imagine. Usually, I'd be worried that we're getting all set up for a terrible letdown and a draft that just goes according to script but the fact is, there is no script.
Which is very good.
Anyway, we'll be back right around 7 p.m. to start a little chat and live bloggy thingy that'll take us through the lottery portion of the selections before I'll have to go and, you know, write stories.
Hope to see some of you then.
And if we get any whispers this afternoon about talks or trades or changes in the wind, we'll let you know so click back often (it increases our hits and who knows what you'll find when you do.)
See ya.
