We stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Majestic in mid-September. The hotel is conveniently situated for sightseeing and also shopping. It's also only a minutes walk from the tram (which is great if you need to get to and from the Bordeaux Gare). The rooms are a wee bit dark but I suspect that's just because of the musical decor....

Last Updated: March 1, 2010
You've probably heard the pitches for "refund anticipation checks" or "quick tax loans." The official name is refund anticipation loans, or RALs. They're marketed primarily to cash-poor taxpayers who use their annual federal and state tax refunds as a piggy bank for discretionary items or thanks to a struggling economy, essentials like food and housing.
In tough times, these high-cost loans are a particularly dangerous temptation. Most of the major tax preparation services in the country offer them, making them easy to apply for and they even offer to place the refund amount in a special prepaid credit card instead of your own bank account.
Do they make sense? The Consumer Federation of America lumps Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs) with their more notorious cousin, payday loans, in the same basket. A February 2009 report indicated that RALs generated an estimated $900 million in fees from 8.67 million taxpayers who used them based on 2007 figures alone. The truth is that while these services promise your refund money immediately or in a few days (less fees and costs), if you're willing to wait an extra couple of weeks, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will pay back your refund without fees or interest charges when you file IRS Form 8888 with your return.
The IRS option also makes it easy to divert your refund into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) contribution or the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities or U.S. Savings Bonds.
In 2007, the Consumer Federation and the National Consumer Law Center reported that RALs cost the average borrower from about $30 to more than $125 in loan fees. Some tax preparers also charge separate fees on top of those amounts for the "application." In their study, both agencies reported that the effective annual interest rate (APR) for a RAL can range from about 40 percent to more than 500 percent, and if application fees are charged and included in the calculation, the effective APRs range from about 57 percent to more than 1,100 percent.
In January, the California attorney general reached a $4.85 million settlement with H&R Block, funneling that money to the state's customers who took out those loans between 2001 and 2008 and prohibiting the tax giant from marketing refund anticipation loans as early tax refunds.
All this aside, the real point is that it's important for individuals to plan their finances and tax strategy so they don't have to be desperate for a tax refund in any amount. If you're working with a tax advisor or a financial planner such as a financial planning professional, they'll tell you that the best way to put cash in your hand is through tax planning, not overpayment of tax so you can get a check later.
It's been said that tax refunds are really interest-free loans to the government, and it's true. The benefit of working with a qualified tax professional or a financial planner is that they might have more incentive to lead you in the direction of sensible tax strategies than a tax preparation firm that offers such loans. Why would any firm offer smart tax advice when it might threaten such a huge revenue stream?
Want to put extra money in your pocket all year round, not just at tax time? Consider the following steps:
- Make 2010 the year you do some real tax planning: Qualified tax professionals such as Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), enrolled agents (federally licensed individuals who have passed a comprehensive IRS exam) or tax attorneys can help you devise a strategy so you and Uncle Sam don't owe each other anything at tax time. You'll do this through smart withholding and finding legal deductions that might create tax savings. Many individuals can get by with the help of an enrolled agent or CPA, and while there are many tax attorneys who do individual returns, they are typically used for business returns or more complex individual tax situations.
- Restructure your spending: Understanding your spending will prevent you from looking desperately for cash at other times. A financial planner can give you some critical advice in building a budget that fits you and your income and spending picture, or you can make this the year when you buy a financial tracking program for your computer and start typing in your daily spending – that activity alone will be an eye-opener. Once you do that, you can figure out how to afford essentials and extras in a way that will prevent a panicky search for money around tax time.
- Make smart choices for that money: Quit thinking about your refund as an excuse for a trip to the mall. Why not use an unexpected tax refund to fund an IRA or some other savings or investment vehicle? If you finish your taxes early enough you might be able to deposit that overage directly in those accounts.

In fact," she added, "some stress moves us forward and causes us to grow. However, we don't want stress to overwhelm us." She reviewed symptoms and external manifestations of stress, and told seminar participants that stress can accelerate the onset of physical problems like coronary heart disease. "Additionally," she said, "our immune systems don't work as well when we are stressed." She noted that one study indicated that laughter can be a stress-reducer and can enhance the efficiency of the body's immune system. Seminar attendees took part in a series of relaxation techniques and stress relievers. The seminar was co-sponsored by the Greater Bluefield Chamber of Commerce and Bluefield State. |

A former resident of the McDowell County community of Isaban, Jones was elected to the post at the June 9 ACS meeting in Charleston. As the ACS chair, Jones will hold a voting seat on the State College System Board of Directors. "I will get input from the ACS representatives at other Colleges in the State College System, and from Bluefield State, so I may represent the views of students on a statewide basis at Board meetings," he commented. The 20-year old Jones is one of the youngest chairs in ACS history. ACS' major issues for the 1997-98 academic year include the availability of financial aid, maintaining lines of communication with state legislators, continuing improvements in campus access for student with disabilities, and improving awareness of ACS among students throughout the nine-college State College System. A Princeton High School graduate, Jones sees the '97-'98 academic year as one filled with opportunity. "I'm excited about being in a position to serve the students of the state, bringing their views and priorities to the Board of Directors," he said. |
BSC Receives Approval to Offer New Degree Program in "Aquaculture" | Tuesday, June 24 1997 | BSC Receives Approval to Offer New Degree Program in "Aquaculture" | Bluefield State College has received approval from the State College System of West Virginia to offer an associate degree program in aquaculture (fish farming), beginning with the Fall 1997 Semester. The aquaculture program, which will be taught through BSC's Beckley Campus with aquaculture-specific courses to be offered on site at Minaqua's Lillybrook operation, is the first of its kind in West Virginia. The restricted enrollment, two-year program is designed to cultivate graduates' "skills in technology, critical thinking, computer literacy and communication necessary in aquaculture." Aquaculture has been identified as an emerging industry with excellent employment prospects within southern and southeast West Virginia, according to results of research into employment opportunities within the industry. "The future of aquaculture in the United States is bright and expansion is expected to continue," noted Aquaculture Magazine Buyer's Guide 1996. "The demand for aquaculture products will continue to remain high because the wild fish harvest has reached its limit and aquaculture is the only means of producing the supply of products needed by the consumer." BSC and the West Virginia Department of Education have been involved in a cooperative relationship since the initial stages of the aquaculture program's planning and development. Representatives from the aquaculture industry have also been involved as partners in the planning process. The aquaculture program will be administered as a degree program of the Division of Engineering Technology and Computer Science. Additional information may be obtained by contacting the BSC Office of Admissions at (304) 327-4065. |

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 081930 AFDPAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 130 PM CST Sun Dec 8 2013 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday) ISSUED AT 1251 PM CST SUN DEC 8 2013 Dropped all headlines for this issuance. I do expect some rain in southeast this evening...possibly some light snow west of the Land between the Lakes area. After midnight the column starts to dry out as temperatures fall to freezing in the southeast. Kept some patchy freezing fog overnight as shallow low level moisture lag behind the system and over the snow field. The next wave of energy arrives around midnight Monday night as a short wave rotates through heartland. This will likely result in little more than flurries or light snow. Right now minor accumulations dont appear likely. As for temps the southern half of the fa will approach or go slightly above freezing during the afternoon but plunging below freezing overnight through the short term. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Sunday) ISSUED AT 1251 PM CST SUN DEC 8 2013 High pressure at the surface is the predominant weather feature through the workweek. First, the very cold early week high shifts east, and a minor reinforcing shot of cool air comes down its backside via an upper trof passage. This passage should be dry. Then, another continental polar surface high moves overtop the region. This keeps temperatures below normal through the period. While there may be some clouds/moisture associated with the minor trof passage, the models keep the forecast dry. The big action comes late in the week into the next weekend. The models stil show variance, but some unsettling of the pattern occurs in the Friday night through Sunday time frame. The ecmwf looks a little more progressive with the system, but both the ecmwf and the gfs suggest associated pops with the formation/evolution/passage of an upper level low pressure system next weekend. And because of the temp profile at the time, this could be in the form of some kind of wintry mix of snow, sleet, or freezing rain, depending upon the time of day and areal coverage (north vs south) part of the region. For now, given the variance in the models and the days 6-8 nature of the event, we`ll keep simple either/or wording and slight to low chance pops, with a brief mention in the HWO for the heads up at its potential development. && .AVIATION... ISSUED AT 1132 AM CST SUN DEC 8 2013 IFR cigs/vsbys have become prevalent, and a look at forecast model soundings suggest little hope for improvement. Inherited improving conditions tonight to MVFR, and top down drying does occur. Will monitor the remainder of the pm, but if some improvement is not noted, may need to readjust prior to 00Z. More confidence in noting improvement to MVFR tomorrw/during the planning period. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. MO...NONE. IN...NONE. KY...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...KH LONG TERM...DH

Baby Blues (Post partum depression) During the first few weeks after delivery up to 15% of new mothers experience postpartum depression. This is characterized by mood swings, lethargy, feelings of inadequacy, and anxiety. Women at greater trisk of postpartum depression are those with depression following a previous pregnancy (about 70% risk), adolescent mothers (30% risk) and women with a history of depression in the past not associated with pregnancy (30%). For most women, this depression is transient, resolving within six months. However, for some mothers a more lasting type of baby blues occurs. These women may have more severe depression that interferes with their ability to function.
Lack of sleep with caring for the new baby, medical complications of childbirth, and other pressures associated with a new baby can worsen the depression. Fathers can also suffer from baby blues. For them it is usually a much milder condition. It should be discussed with a doctor if it interferes with daily activity or lasts more than a few weeks. Most likely postpartum depression is triggered by changes in levels of progesterone and estrogen after delivery although the exact cause is not known.

Reader 02 Intro Contd
In the face of such turmoil, which upset our very sense of affiliation and belonging, Reader 02 remains sympathetic to a critical, often untimely attitude to the present. The new ruses of the Smooth City, the Informational City, or the happy fictions of a distracted global placelessnes have now run against the realities of a global crisis that seems unending, and promises a churning of which the events in Seattle and Genoa were but early intimations. But the working out of the crisis may well take place through smaller, non-spectacular conflicts of which cities and towns shall be important sites.
The Sections
This reader collates research, writing and looking that is alert to the city as a locus of imaginary engagements, a body of distinct practices, a compendium of different ways of knowing, and as a field of power, strategies of survival and resistance. We seek to capture the city through different views and purchases on urban being and becoming. The spatial and temporal axes of city life provide us with the architectural format. The prism of one moment, say the catastrophe of the pogrom-like dimensions of the Bombay violence of 1993, may provide us with narratives of social and cultural fear, suspicion and hate that can only be illuminated at a moment of danger. Similarly, the mediatised spectacle of 9/11 opens us to the immediacy of catastrophe in a city that lies at the heart of empire but is also one of the key icons of the contemporary cosmopolitan imagination. Clearly no place is better organised, more amenable to the spectacular staging of violence and the cultivation of fear and suspicion than the modern megalopolis, with its demographic concentration, its interweaving of different ethnicities and registers of anonymity, its grandiose architectural environment and its myriad localities and alleyways. The catastrophic event visited on the city positions us vertiginously in the architecture of the present, but is only one axis of temporal engagement and spatial entry. Memories of childhood provide the form for an indirect sense of the violence that assailed Calcutta in the 1940s. And, posed against the large-scale spectacle of ruin, we may observe smaller vistas, but ones hardly negligible for those afflicted with visionary presentiments and fears. A subordinated urban society in Delhi is privy to a menacing entity, a shape shifter: how to account for its sudden appearance and equally sudden disappearance, a phenomenon that fleetingly brings a marginalised city space into public and national discourse? As Ranajit Guha would put it, what status do we allocate to this small voice of history, inhabiting a domain of perception not readily accessible by discourses of reason? Does this have something to do with everyday anxiety rather than the catastrophic moment, the experience of migration and displacement, of marginality and the threat of governmental scrutiny? Or is this to rationalise perception and neutralise other ways of inhabiting the city?
The notion of city as spectacle and stage, as space of performance and urban congregations, extends into another set of reflections. Contributions on the cities constructed in and through theatre, cinema, music and media mobilisation draw upon a range of methods including urban social history, the analysis of narrative form and style, and anthropological fieldwork. Issues of virtuality, temporality, spatiality and locality emerge as key categories. Each of these acquires a certain power when thought of in combination rather than as discrete phenomena. Thus the virtual dimension of cinematic fictions invites us to look at the specifics of film history and film form. But this virtuality acquires particular force when the cinematic imaginary intervenes to restructure perceptions about the divisions of everyday life and the political-ritual moments in urban spatial practices. The temporal organisation of entertainments, for example show times, a mechanism to discipline urban audiences, assumes changing calibrations in different entertainment spaces and audience congregations, and over the time of the evening. The timing of the arrival of a fax that threatens libel action against a screening of a contentious film gives rise to strategies of spatial relocation; and so on.
The section on digital urbanism mobilises the imperative of connecting the virtual to the real, such that it 'bleeds' into the real. Here the architecture of the Internet, as something governed by a sense of in-betweenness, incompleteness, and the possibilities of accessing multiple forms of knowledge and engagement, suggests possibilities for the unsettling and re-imagining of built environments. This is done both by a visionary declaration of the autonomies that exist as potentialities in online space and by envisioning the infrastructure of matter and (electrical) energy that underpins the Internet. Both these acts suggest an alteration of the frame through which we apprehend the urban.
This process of unsettling things, for example dominant media forms and representations, brings to light the variety of practices that compose the everyday. A strong motif of Sarai's media neighbourhood project, or Cybermohalla, has been one of attending to the specific qualities of technologies of sound and image. Young people from a working-class neighbourhood in Delhi work with these different registers of the sensorium to creatively observe and interrogate their locality. In this collection, a particular dimension of their activities, writing the city through the everyday experience of the locality, is extracted to provide the lineaments of an emergent, multiple and multimedia environment. A separate section on writing the city shifts genres from the diary to the essay. Writers on Beirut, Delhi, Srinagar, Calcutta, Berlin, Lagos, London and Mexico City consider various dimensions of the everyday: the phenomenology of night, the time-space of the bus journey, the invisible spaces of hospital wards dealing with terminal illness, nineteenth-century notions of what constituted new media for the city. The city as space lived through the thickets of apprehension and violent governmentality provides the critical motivational energy to these explorations.
Surveillance is a crucial issue here, as new technologies are mobilised to identify populations against a complex grid of knowledge about the body and cross-referenced information nodes – for example, biometric surveillance of key indicators such as fingerprints and retina, and face recognition software that claims to be able to pick out faces from a crowd and match these with databases of criminals. This dimension of the politics of surveillance and identification, which received a fillip after 9/11, has clear implications for the structures of urban governance and policing, especially in a context in which urban planning gives priority to the logistics of health and environment over the populations which compose the city. These analyses are put together in a section devoted to Sarai's engagement with the politics of information. Here our contributors also map emerging fields of intellectual property rights with global ramifications, as in the patenting of human genetic material and seeds. Apart from tracking these processes, these contributions reinvest in a notion of the commons and public knowledge, and think through the possibilities of on and off-line resistance. They reaffirm Sarai's commitment to a notion of the public domain, of open access against the aggressive drives to carve up the world, its myriad resources and creative practices into a burgeoning proprietary imperium.
One note on the form of Reader 02. We have continued the essay form (both text and image), while retaining the sharp intellectual edge of the writing. The preference for the essay form in this reader is clearly linked to the idea of pushing a critical form of public writing, which is both accessible and insightful. Another point is that while readers usually contain a preponderance of thematically organised, already published texts, The Cities of Everyday Life is the exact opposite. The bulk of texts here are original pieces of writing and appear in print for the first time.
Finally a word on collaboration. This reader was put together by six editors, five of us working from Delhi and the sixth (Geert Lovink) working from Sydney. Collaborating on a book of this scale and ambition is not easy, but we are happy to say that it has been an extremely smooth process, with deadlines kept, themes agreed upon and wide-ranging editorial consensus. And it is a model Sarai plans to hold on to in all our succeeding readers.

Ah sure, tell me i'm stupid. As usual...
Idk really what those two guys are, but i think i know them kinda.. And the undead are crazy so yah

Undead skeletons, on the other hand, are mindless, wandering "things" and can do nothing but walk forward and sometimes strike with a weapon. And the giant dragons? Those are megablocksy-looking and probably have a will of their own. Therefore, I cast my vote, and Majisto is my choice.
PunkRockCowboy wrote:Jojo wrote: Majisto didn't controll an army of undead, but he had an army of living men. Personally I never encountered any undead but I'm pretty sure they have their own weak spot, too. Maybe sunlight, maybe water, maybe fire. There must be something to stop them. At least undead don't have any will nor intelligence, they only react to their masters will. That's the huge advantage of human beings (alive): They are able to think and make decisions.
Very good point, and that's exactly why certain armies have won certain battles/wars in the past, their individual soldiers were much better at making decisions for themselves in the event of an officer's death.Sir Kohran wrote:Majisto/Merlin was never developed beyond a basic wizard with some magic powers. He was implied to be the leader of the Dragon Masters and the enemy of both the Black Knights and perhaps also the Royal Knights. He appears to have defeated the black Knights, because after Majisto/The Dragon Masters' introduction in 1993, no more Black Knight sets were produced. However, Royal Knight sets continued to be produced after the Dragon Masters disappeared (1996), so presumably Majisto was defeated by the Royal King. So whilst he definitely had power, he was not that great.
I do like to think that because a certain faction has less troops as time runs out that that faction is dying out/being taken over by another faction, but that doesn't always make sense. According to your logic the Fright Knights would have to be the most powerful faction in all of legoland then, since after all they defeated both Dark Forest and the Royal Knights who in turn defeated the Dragon Masters who in turn defeated the Black Knights and Wolfpack... etc. etc. And I don't think that anyone sane would agree that the Fright Knights were the most powerful faction.
So what are my thoughts on the topic? First of all, Majisto commands a much more powerful army than the new wizard. The size of the undead army reflects directly upon the power of the new Wizard as there is no other way to have an army of skeletons unless you are using magical power. I know that everyone has this idea of a giant horde of skeletons, but it's just not there, there is a moderate amount of undead, but nothing truly that impressive. To the new magician's credit the line has just been started, but even so, when you compare their numbers to other faction's first years it's still only fair to average.
As I've counted there are 2 cavalry, 8 infantry, 4 pirates, and 1 archer under the command of the new wizard. Majisto commands 4 cavalry (+1 chariot), 13 infantry, and 5 archers (+1 crossbow cart), a much superior force.
The size of the dragons is in favor of the new wizard, but majisto's team seems to have everything under control, they have dragon wagons and layers and caves where as the undead army's dragons have nothing like that and so it would be a lot harder to control their dragons, magic or not.
With that in mind Majisto overall seems a lot more organized than the new wizard. What if the Skeleton Tower is taken over by the Crown Knights? Where will the new wizard set up base? Back in 1993 Majisto already had two fortresses and a secret shop that he could use. Where are the undead army's siege engines, catapults, and archers? It appears that they rely on brute force, but how can that be successful without numbers?
I know that the new wizard looks cool and all, and his army is very scary, but I'm going to have to go with Majisto. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Perhaps the new wizard knows more magic than Majisto, but he doesn't have things planned out well and he's not very organized, and if he can't even match the numbers of non magical kingdoms first years (ie crusaders) when he's got magic on his side you've gotta really think "Just how powerful is this guy anyway?".

Rob Schneider Movies
Saturday Night Live
alumnus to make a bid for big screen stardom,
Rob Schneider
got his first chance to carry a film with
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
(2000), a mistaken identity comedy that was as commercially popular as it was critically eviscerated. The diminutive Schneider, who was born to a Filipino mother and Jewish father in San Francisco on October 31, 1963, got his start in comedy in high school. He began writing sketches when he was 15 and also began appearing at local comedy venues. Inspired by such comics as
Richard Pryor
Gene Wilder
Peter Sellars
, and Monty Python, Schneider decided to try to make a career out of stand-up.
Following high school graduation, the fledgling comedian set off for Europe, where he traveled for a few months until he was robbed in Paris. Scraping together enough cash to make it back to the U.S., Schneider returned to San Francisco and renewed his determination to make it as a comedian. He quickly became active on the comedy circuit, opening for such luminaries as
Jay Leno
Jerry Seinfeld
, and
Dana Carvey
. Schneider got his big break in 1990, when he was discovered by
Lorne Michaels
while performing on an HBO comedy special. He was hired on as a writer for
in 1991, but he soon began performing his own material as well as writing it. He earned great popularity and lasting fame for his characterizations of "Richard "the Richmeister" Laymer" and "The Sensitive Naked Man," as well as various celebrity impersonations. Schneider stayed with the show until the end of the 1993-1994 season, when he decided to quit in order to pursue his film career.
Following his departure from
, Schneider had a sizable supporting role in the
Sylvester Stallone
Judge Dredd
(1995), but his subsequent film work was limited almost solely to forgettable comedies. In 1996, the comedian returned to television as one of the stars of the short-lived sitcom Men Behaving Badly, but he continued to focus much of his energy on a film career. After appearing in
The Waterboy
(1998) and
Big Daddy
(1999), two wildly successful comedies starring fellow-
Adam Sandler
, Schneider starred as the titular hero of
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
, a fish tank cleaner who assumes the identity of a high-living gigolo. Panned by critics as immature and vulgar, Deuce Bigalow nevertheless did decent business in theaters and found a niche after it's subsequent release on home video, prompting Schneider to prepare a sophmore effort, The Animal. Co-starring Survivor contestant turned thespian Colleen Haskell, Schneider's tale of a car accident victim imbued with superhuman powers after being pieced back together with animal organs kept the low-brow rolling while marking his territory among the ranks of the more successful transitions from SNL player to big screen star.
Later, in the 2000s, Schneider frequently alternated between starring in his own films (The Hot Chick, Duece Bigalow: European Gigolo, and supporting his old pal Sandler (The Longest Yard, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry), with few on either side truly managing to ignite the box office or his career momentum. Though 2012 found Schneider attempting to break back into television with Rob, a CBS sitcom centering on an OCD landscape architect who marries into a jovial Mexican-American family, the network cancelled the series after just one season. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Three guys with little athletic ability strike a blow for everyone chosen last at recess in this comedy. Clark (Jon Heder), Gus (Rob Schneider), and Richie (David Spade) are three geeky guys who have spent most of their lives being humiliated by bullies and taunted by people with greater hand-eye coordination than they possess (which is nearly everyone). While the three guys love baseball, they've been treated like losers on the diamond ever since their days riding the pine in youth baseball. One day they stop by a softball field at a local park and a bunch of kids practicing for tryouts try to heckle them into going home. Clark, Gus, and Richie challenge the kids to a game -- three against nine -- and miraculously don't entirely humiliate themselves. Mel (Jon Lovitz), a guy with an athletically-challenged son of his own, is impressed with the nerdy trio's nerve, and offers to set up a tournament in which the three inept grown-ups will take on the best youth teams from around the state. Clark, Gus, and Richie accept the offer, and they soon become unlikely heroes to the bullied, clumsy, and awkward everywhere. The Benchwarmers also stars Craig Kilborn, Tim Meadows, Molly Sims and Reggie Jackson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Can the world's oldest adolescent maintain his cool while living with his grandmother? Alex (Allen Covert) is a 35-year-old video-game fanatic who gave up a career in accounting to take a job testing games for Brainasium, the company behind the wildly popular game "Eternal Death Slayer." While Alex took a big pay cut to land his dream job, he's happy with his work and is making ends meet -- until he discovers that his roommate hasn't paid the rent for the last six months, using the money to finance repeated visits to a local massage parlor. After running out of friends who will let him sleep on their couch, Alex swallows his pride and moves in with his grandma Lily (Doris Roberts), who loves Alex and is happy to give him a place to stay in exchange for doing chores around the house. Lily shares her home with two friends, perpetually confused Bea (Shirley Knight) and sexually adventurous Grace (Shirley Jones), and between the three of them, there's always work to be done, keeping Alex busy nearly every night. While Alex tells his co-workers he's living with three attractive women who are running him ragged, they don't know the real story; in the meantime, Alex is trying to charm Brainasium's beautiful new executive, Samantha (Linda Cardellini), while butting heads with the firm's space-case CEO Cheezle (Kevin Nealon) and J.P.

One of the toughest and best-remembered sports movies of the 1970s gets a humorous makeover in this comedy. Paul "Wrecking" Crewe (Adam Sandler) was once a famous professional football player, but after several years out of the limelight and an alcohol problem have taken their toll, Crewe is arrested for a serious traffic accident aggravated by the fact he was drunk. Crewe is sentenced to Allenville Penitentiary, where Warden Hazen (James Cromwell) is something of a football fan. Hazen had organized his guards into an impressive football team, and clears a healthy profit by taking bets on their games. Looking to make the competition more interesting, Hazen suggests that Crewe put together a team from the inmate population to play his guards. With the help of fellow prisoner Caretaker (Chris Rock), Crewe recruits the heaviest hitters from the cell block for the team, but the guys don't play like a unit until Crewe and Caretaker get some help from Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds), a former college and NFL coach doing hard time. Adapted from Robert Aldrich's 1974 box-office smash of the same name, The Longest Yard also features rap star Nelly and Nicholas Turturro; the film has previously been loosely remade in 2001 as Mean Machine, with the action moved to England and the game changed to soccer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Women of the world beware -- the world's least likely male pleasure machine is back in business and breaching international boundaries in this sequel to the comedy hit Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. Despite his lack of enthusiasm for his career as a lover-for-hire, Deuce (once again played by Rob Schneider) is back to work as a gigolo when his former manager T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin) is accused of murdering a number of male escorts in Amsterdam. Needing to raise money for his friend's legal defense, Deuce is once again showing off the tricks of the trade in the European theater, while also dealing with the less-than-genial European Union of gigolos, a British school for male prostitutes, and some truly puzzling female clients. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A carefree young woman wakes up to discover her greatest nightmare is a reality -- she's become trapped in the body of Rob Schneider -- in this shape-shifting comedy. Jessica (Rachel McAdams) is a beautiful teenager whose life would be the envy of any high school student -- she's head of the cheerleading squad, her boyfriend, Billy (Matthew Lawrence), is the quarterback of the football team, and she's pretty and popular enough to get nearly anyone to do what she wants. However, Jessica is soon to find out how the other half lives, in more ways than she counted upon; she shoplifts a pair of earrings from an shop specializing in African curios run by Mambuza (Angie Stone), unaware that they carry the curse of Princess Nawa. Thanks to the curse, the next morning Jessica awakes to find that her spirit has entered the body of Clive (Rob Schneider), a sweaty and hirsute small-time crook. As Jessica tries to figure out how she can return to her old body, she has to lead the cheerleading squad to victory and attend her senior prom while looking like a less-than-handsome 30-year-old man. Billy is understandably puzzled by the changes in Jessica, while her best friend, April (Anna Faris), finds her feelings about Jessica change a bit once she volunteers to be her prom date. The Hot Chick is the first theatrical feature for director Tom Brady; Brady co-wrote an earlier Schneider vehicle, The Animal, and was on the writing staff for his television series Men Behaving Badly. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Come celebrate the joy and togetherness of the Hanukkah season with Adam Sandler -- yeah, that Adam Sandler -- in this raucous animated comedy written and produced in collaboration with the noted funnyman. Davey Stone (voice of Adam Sandler) is a twentysomething man with a short temper and a reputation for causing trouble who lives in the small New England town of Dukesberry. Davey has a particularly bad attitude about the holiday season, and on the first night of Hanukkah, he goes on a tear that lands him in front of a judge (voice of Norm Crosby). The judge, who has dealt with Davey before, is prepared to send him to prison, but Whitey (also voiced by Sandler), an eccentric but kindly old man, persuades the judge to give him a chance to turn Davey into a more responsible citizen. Davey doesn't think much of Whitey's charitable nature, but when his trailer home burns down, he's forced to move in with Whitey and his perpetually nervous sister, Eleanore (also voiced by Sandler...spotting a trend here?). Between Whitey and Eleanore's nonstop kvetching and the reappearance of his old girlfriend Jennifer (voice of Jackie Titone), Davey is being driven to distraction by the Hanukkah season, but in time Whitey learns the truth about why Davey has such a problem with the Festival of Lights. Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights also includes eight new songs co-written by Sandler; he duets with bluegrass star Alison Krauss on "Long Ago." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Former Saturday Night Live cast member Rob Schneider stars in this comedy as Marvin Mage, a wimpy nebbish whose lifelong dreams of becoming a police officer are thwarted by his diminutive stature.

Marvin quickly gains fame as a supercop, but he's also left with all of the embarrassing animal instincts and urges that accompany his new powers -- a serious threat to his blooming romance with new girlfriend Rianna (Colleen Haskell). The Animal co-stars John C. McGinley, Edward Asner, Norm Macdonald, and Cloris Leachman. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The youngest child of the family often has the most problems -- so why should things be different for the Prince of Darkness and his offspring? Satan (Harvey Keitel) is considering retirement, and is pondering which of his sons should take over the family business -- ambitious Adrian (Rhys Ifans), strapping Cassius (Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.), or Nicky (Adam Sandler), an accident-prone demon who prefers to stay in his room playing his favorite heavy metal tunes. When Satan decides to stay on for another 10,000 years, Adrian is outraged, and leaves Hell to go to New York, where he and Cassius attempt to round up enough souls to vote Satan out of power. Satan, understandably upset, sends Nicky to bring Adrian and Cassius back home, but Nicky finds life on Earth is more complicated than he expected. Things don't get any easier when he develops a crush on Valerie (Patricia Arquette), a good-hearted mortal woman. Little Nicky also features Michael McKean as a city official trying to put Nicky behind bars, Kevin Nealon as Hell's gatekeeper, Rodney Dangerfield as Satan's father, Robert Smigel as the voice of Beefy -- a talking dog who is Nicky's guide on earth, Allen Covert as Todd -- Nicky's new roommate, and Peter Dante and Jonathan Loughran as a pair of metalheads who dig Satan. Jon Lovitz and Reese Witherspoon play cameo roles, and Regis Philbin and Ozzy Osbourne appear as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Yet another Saturday Night Live alumnus makes his bid for big-screen success as Rob Schneider, best remembered as the "Making copies!" guy, tackles his first leading role in this broad comedy. Deuce (Rob Schneider) earns a meager living as a professional fish tank cleaner until he's asked to housesit for a gigolo. Deuce mistakenly answers the gigolo's business phone and finds himself having sex with a woman he's never met and getting paid for it (not a bad deal, since women generally avoid Deuce like the Ebola virus). It's not long before Deuce learns that there's more to selling your body than one might expect: for example, being re-styled by your pimp or having to explain your new source of income when the owner of the house gets home. Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo was the first feature film produced by Adam Sandler's production company, Happy Madison; Sandler himself makes a cameo appearance, while Oded Fehr, William Forsythe, Eddie Griffin, and Marlo Thomas highlight the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

As Gonzo and his friend Rizzo hit the road in search of their roots, Gonzo makes a shocking discovery: his parents are actually space aliens from another galaxy. After announcing this startling news on Miss Piggy's talk show (hey, if Ricki Lake and Rosie O'Donnell can do it, why not Miss Piggy?), Gonzo finds himself the subject of a dark and mysterious government conspiracy, led by the nefarious K. Edgar Singer (Jeffrey Tambor). In time, Gonzo is forced to choose: should he hop on board the UFO and sail off to live with his family, or stay on Earth with the friends he knows and loves? Muppets From Space once again pairs the late Jim Henson's creations with a stellar cast of human beings, including F. Murray Abraham, David Arquette, Ray Liotta, and Andie MacDowell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Prospective parents everywhere, meet the world's least likely paternal role model: Adam Sandler! In Big Daddy, Sandler plays 30-year-old bachelor Sonny Koufax, a carefree slob who has never much taken to adult responsibilities; he works one day a week as a tollbooth collector, and spends the remainder of his time living off of a $200,000 reward he collected from an auto accident. All told, the life suits him just fine. However, as his old buddies start getting married and drifting away, Sonny realizes that if he doesn't do something soon, he could end up all alone for the rest of his life. When his most recent girlfriend, Vanessa (Kristy Swanson), indicates that she needs some time off because she's sick of being with a man who can't act like a grown-up, he decides that it's time to take drastic action to win her back. Conveniently enough, a little boy named Julian (Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse) turns up on his doorstep, claiming that he's the biological son of Sonny's roommate and friend from law school, Kevin (Jon Stewart). The kid tells Sonny that he's from Buffalo, New York; Kevin has never been to Buffalo, New York, but no matter - Sonny foresees, in Julian, an opportunity to convince Vanessa that he can face adult responsibilities. He thus takes charge of the little boy over a long Columbus Day weekend, pretending to be Kevin. However, the plan doesn't work as expected, and the authorities hone in on a discovery of Sonny's real identity. Meanwhile, Sonny finds himself genuinely drawn to the tyke. Also supporting Sandler in Big Daddy are Joey Lauren Adams, Josh Mostel and Rob Schneider. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hong Kong action genre craftsman Tsui Hark directed this martial arts tale, his second collaboration with actor Jean-Claude Van Damme after Double Team (1997). Van Damme stars as Marcus Ray, a Hong Kong fashion designer who specializes in "knock-offs," cheaply produced jeans and sneakers meant to look like major-label merchandise. With his new partner Tommy Hendricks (Rob Schneider), Marcus hopes to go legit and put his shady past behind him, but Tommy is really an undercover CIA agent investigating the smuggling of mini-bombs in Marcus' products. An unwitting pawn in a scheme concocted by the KGB and Tommy's CIA superior Johanson (Paul Sorvino), Marcus must clear his name and save his company. His quest to do so becomes even more complicated when local authorities link him to a murder and a vice-president, Karen (Lela Rochon), arrives from Marcus' parent company to investigate discrepancies in his bookkeeping. Knock Off is based on a script by Steven E. de Souza, author of 48 Hrs. (1982) and Die Hard (1988). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

When Sam's former wife Penny (Lisa Edelstein) learns what's going down, she demands sex plus money. Appearing in cameos are several film directors (Stuart Gordon, Randall Kleiser and Adam Rifkin).

Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit 1998
It is hardly a mystery why the Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has become one of the most popular single issue magazines year in and year out. People's fascination with scantily clad women in exoctic locations is as close to a sure thing, in terms of sales, as you can get. And so it only makes sense for the magazine to back up its 1998 magazine release with a shot on location documentary. Filmed much like a Playboy Playmate video, the images range from behind the scenes shennigans, to wind wisped slow motion pans of the female body. Several of the scenes have voiced over interviews with photographers, camera crew and models Eva Herzigova, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks accompanying the images. This video is definetly more risque than the magazine and may not be suitable for younger audiences. ~ Ed Atkinson, Rovi

Adult day care another good option for caregivers
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/adult-day-care/MY01313
- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Adult day care another good option for caregivers
By Angela Lunde
25 comments posted
Thank you Carol, Lynn, Diane and others for bringing up resources and services that can support keeping a loved one at home as long as possible. Adult day programs and care consultations can be extremely valuable to families.
The National Adult Day Association can also provide good information about what a day program can provide persons with a dementia such as Alzheimer's and their care partner. The National Institute of Adult Day Care describes adult day care as a program of individualized services and therapeutic activities in a group setting for adults who are cognitively impaired, physically impaired, socially isolated, frail elderly, in need of assistance with activities of daily living and in need of supervision.
In addition to providing programming and social engagement for persons with dementia, caregivers receive a temporary break from the demands of caregiving — without respite caregivers are more susceptible to the effects of caregiver stress, such as depression, exhaustion and other health problems. Adult day services are worth checking out in your community.
In addition, many of the Alzheimer's Association chapters offer as part of their core services care consultations. It's a grouping of services to assist the person with Alzheimer's or related dementias and/or their family care partners in planning for, and dealing with, all aspects of the illness experience. Individuals with dementia and their care partners receive one-on-one assistance that will enable them to better manage care and make more informed decisions regarding services and treatments. To request a consultation, call the Alzheimer's Association helpline at 1-800-272-3900.
I know many of us feel guilty about asking friends or family for help, hiring help, or taking a break, but keep these points in mind:
- You do many things in your life very well.
- You are entitled to have a life of your own.
- Your thoughts and feelings are normal.
- Taking care of yourself is a gift to your loved one.
- You can't meet every demand.
- Remember, we feel guilty because we love.

It's Time You Made the Transition to Greater Profits and Predictable Revenue.

Why An Event On "as a Service"?
Business Solutions Magazine (BSM) is the channel leader in educating VARs, MSPs, and ISVs on the transition to the "as a Service" business model and establishing a recurring revenue stream. Business Solutions has published several feature stories, case studies, opinion columns, and special guides on this important topic. Our readers told us they wanted even more information – including the opportunity to network with other channel partners who are focused on this transition. From that, the Channel Transitions VAR/MSP Executive Conference was born.
How important is the channel's shift to a services model? Let BSM's subscribers tell you in their own words:
"I'd love to hear from other partners and professionals on how they've made the transition. That's the stuff you can't Google and get. I've been spending the last few weeks trying to piece together as much information as I can on this. We need more education on 'as a Service.'"
President, Networking VAR – New Jersey
Verticals: Manufacturing/Warehousing, Healthcare, Law/Public Safety, Financial, SMB
"The topics for your event really resonate with me. This is the big one. I'd like to talk at length with vendor representatives – not just 'here's our list of products and go away.' I want to have the conversation and then the networking so that you can have actionable next steps."
CEO, Storage VAR – Pennsylvania
Verticals: Healthcare, Financial Services
"The shift to services is an important issue – absolutely. I sort of have a grasp of what I need to do. The most value I would get would be an overall strategy to make it successful. I want real-world advice – a game plan of hiring, training, and handling objections."
President, General Computing VAR/MSP– Pennsylvania
Verticals: Retail, Healthcare, Education
"It's very important to learn about the shift to services and how to get involved. VARs are in a sink-or-swim situation. The TV repairman is on his way out with the dodo bird. The most value to me would be hearing answers from successful MSPs regarding how they physically do it – bundling products, pricing models, how they deal with onboarding costs. An event like that would have value to me."
President, Mobile Computing VAR – Maryland
Vertical: SMB
"I've been doing services the past couple years. But we still have specific problems and issues I want education on. We can read about the fluff, but we need to find out from vendors what their product is and what it does. I want to be exposed more to the right vendors related to services."
Managing Director, Managed Services Provider – Maryland
Verticals: SMB, Healthcare, Retail
"I want to talk with others in my same boat. How have they made the transition? As far as your show, I'm in. It sounds like it would be worth my time."
President, ISV/VAR – Pennsylvania
