|"I'll get you, my pretty- and your little dog too! HAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA!"
|~ The Wicked Witch of the West threatening Dorothy Gale and Toto.
The Wicked Witch of the West was Dorothy's arch-nemesis and the main antagonist in the 1939 classic film, The Wizard Of Oz.
She was portrayed by Margaret Hamilton who also played her Kansas counterpart, Miss Almira Gulch.
In the original book, she is described as a hideous form, and a notable feature being an enchanted eye that can see vast distances beyond her castle walls. In the classic movie, the Wicked Witch was stooped, green-skinned, and dressed entirely in black. In many people's minds, this representation of The Wicked Witch has become an archetype for human wickedness, as well as an icon for the "witch" character in popular culture.
While this relationship is not mentioned in Baum's books, in the movie, the Witch is the sister of the Wicked Witch of the East, who is killed when Dorothy arrives in Oz. The Witch asks aloud, "Who killed my sister?" (except with more calculation than sorrow). As a result, The Wicked Witch of the West's role is made more prominent as she seeks revenge against Dorothy for killing her sister. When Dorothy claims the death was an accident, the Witch of the West replies, "Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents too."
It is from this movie that popular culture gets the oft-quoted phrase, "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!"
Her other motivation is to get the powerful Ruby Slippers (changed from the Silver Shoes of the book). She often, but not always, flies on a broomstick, and has a crystal ball through which she can see happenings elsewhere.
Her lackeys are the Flying Monkeys and the Winkie Guards. The Flying Monkeys kidnapped Dorothy and Toto, taking them to the Wicked Witch's castle. The Wicked Witch of the West locked Dorothy in a room of the hourglass, but Toto escaped, barking for help to the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. The three friends disguised themselves as Winkie Guards and rescued Dorothy. But just as the four friends were about to escape, The Wicked Witch of the West sent her Winkie Guards to chase after the heroes. When Dorothy and her friends were surrounded by guards, The Wicked Witch of the West set the Scarecrow on fire. Then Dorothy noticed a bucket of water, and tossed it to extinguish the fire on Scarecrow, but also splashed some on the Wicked Witch. As a result, the Wicked Witch met her end when she melted to death.
Powers and Skills
- Pyrokinesis. The Witch is able to make Fireballs using her hands.
- Flight/Teleportation. She is seen able to teleport, creating huge Fog like red smoke, while she can fly with her Broomstick if she wants.
- Magic Ball. she was able to spy her enemies using her Magic Ball, which she can see what's happening next.
- Black Smoke. The Wicked Witch of the West was able to create Black Smoke, which she uses to Scare off people away.
- Flying Monkeys and Winkie Guards. The Wicked Witch has minions, which she she uses to kidnap Dorothy, and protect her Dark Castle
Appearances In other media
The Wicked Witch of the West is also famously featured in the book and theatrical production Wicked, which explores her past and portrays her as a tragic character and the protagonist, while the Wizard is the true villain. Here, she is given the name "Elphaba", a pun on the name L. Frank Baum. The role was originated by Idina Menzel.In the 2005 TV-movie The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West is the main antagonist. She is the sister of the Wicked Witch of the East, Tattypoo, and Glinda, who once performed as a pop music group, Four Little Pigs. The Witch pursues Dorothy Gale for the silver slippers, which she felt by familial inheritance rights should have gone to her.
As in the original The Wizard of Oz novel, but not the 1939 film portrayal by Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch wears an eyepatch. Beneath the patch lies a glass eye which gives her telescopic vision. She also sports an enchanted biker cap with which she commands her Flying Monkeys. She receives her comeuppance when tap water is used in her bath.
The Wicked Witch of the West also appeared on Sesame Street in 1976 (Episode 0847), with Margaret Hamilton reprising her role from the 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz.
In the episode, the Witch flies over Sesame Street and loses her broom. The magical cleaning tool falls into the hands of David; afraid of what the witch might do with it, he refuses to give the broom up. The Wicked Witch responds by making it rain inside Hooper's Store, and even threatens to turn Big Bird into a feather duster and David into a basketball. Oscar the Grouch is the only one who takes to her, even to the point of having a crush on her. Big Bird eventually warms to the witch, and is saddened when she leaves she tells him that one day she will return (only to drop her broom yet again). The episode was considered very scary for many viewers. To this day, no footage of the episode has surfaced, and therefore, it is considered lost.
Named Theodora in the 2013 Disney film Oz: The Great and Powerful directed by Sam Raimi, she is portrayed by Mila Kunis. Theodora is the first person Oscar meets when he arrives in Oz. Theodora is a very beautiful, naive witch who is protected by her powerful and overprotective sister Evanora . Theodora only wants peace to come to the Land of Oz and truly believes Oscar is the prophesied wizard they have been waiting for. However she is manipulated by Evanora, who tricks her into eating an apple that removes all good from her heart and transforms her into the Wicked Witch of the West.
Once Upon a Time
The Wicked Witch of The West also appears in the TV show Once Upon A Time where she's named "Zelena". She was the main antagonist in the second half of the third season.
Before First Curse
Abandoned by her birth mother, she is taken by a cyclone to the land of Oz and picked up by a woman. The woman's husband witnesses the baby exhibit powerful magic by felling a tree, though the latter remains oblivious. Given the name Zelena, she loses her adoptive mother in childhood and grows up with a drunken father. While she is shaving his neck, he harps on Zelena to always put on her best face. Accidentally cutting him with the razor, she conjures a rag, but her use of magic terrifies and angers him. He reveals the truth of her birthright, that she is not his biological daughter, and spitefully calls her "wicked". Hurt, she consults the Wizard about her birth family. Zelena finds out she was abandoned because her own mother, Cora, wished to become royalty, which her first-born could not give. She glimpses her half-sister, Regina, who has become Queen and is being taught magic by a man named Rumplestiltskin. Gifted silver slippers, she uses them to travel to Regina's palace. Rumplestiltskin stumbles on Zelena, and believes she is lying about being Cora's first-born until testing her genetics. Accepted by him, she learns that he is making a powerful curse to take himself to a Land Without Magic. She is taught to channel rage, such as anger about her own abandonment as well as jealousy towards Regina, into magic. Rumplestiltskin also teaches Zelena how to let the rage simmer by thinking of a happy moment, and even shares his childhood memory of being raised by spinsters and eating meat-pies. This helps her realize her happiest moment is having met him. After the lesson, she bakes him a meat-pie, but he has to leave to teach Regina magic. Upset, she reacts in hysterics until he points out that her jealousy is literally turning her skin green. Unwilling to have competition, Zelena attacks Regina, though it is Rumplestiltskin in disguise. He disqualifies her as the future caster of his curse since one of the ingredients required for it is the thing she loves most—him—and that makes her too dangerous. He backtracks upon seeing the silver slippers she has, which can take him to a Land Without Magic. Too furious at his prior rejection, she scathingly promises him that he'll choose her next time. Returning to the Wizard, she asks for a way to change the circumstances of her own past, though he says it's impossible. She rips away the Wizard's curtain, discovering he is just a man putting on a show, and transforms him into a pet flying monkey. As she gets a glimpse of Rumplestiltskin calling Regina his "best pupil", her jealousy reaches a boiling point, and Zelena's skin becomes completely green with envy. ("It's Not Easy Being Green") Shortly after, Glinda, the Witch of the South, recruits Zelena into a sisterhood of witches. Along with the Witch of the East and the Witch of the North, the trio believe Zelena is destined to join them because of a prophecy foretelling of a sorceress arriving by cyclone and becoming the Witch of the West. Zelena is still obsessed about changing her past, but with Glinda's encouragement, she decides her own future as a good witch is more important. After receiving a pendant to harness her powers, Zelena views the western area of Oz, which she will be responsible for watching over. She and Glinda approach the wreckage from a cyclone to rescue a young girl named Dorothy. Fearing this child, who also arrived by cyclone, is the actual Witch of the West, Zelena researches the prophecy in the Book of Records; discovering the sorceress will "unseat the greatest evil the realm has ever seen", which she believes is herself. Even with Glinda's advisement that her fears may be not true, Zelena plots to get rid of Dorothy by attacking the girl with fire. However, Dorothy counters her assailant with water; causing Zelena to physically melt away. Despite being seemingly dead, Zelena reemerges at the Wizard's Emerald City palace after Dorothy has rejected Glinda's offer of joining the sisterhood since she only wants to go home. Assuming the Wizard's voice, she sends Dorothy back to Kansas with the silver slippers, and then reveals herself to a shocked Glinda. Zelena reaffirms her goal of changing her own past, and to keep Glinda from finding another sorceress to fulfill the prophecy, she banishes the Witch of the South to the Enchanted Forest.
Before Second Curse
Zelena, now known as the Wicked Witch of the West, begins taking residence in Regina's former palace and breaking the latter's magic lock on the crypt, which was created by blood magic. Conveniently, due to her blood link to Regina, this allows her easy access into the palace. Zelena later enacts her own protection spell to keep outsiders out. Threatening to harm Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip's unborn child, she forces them to notify her when the old inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest return. When they do so, she sends her minion, a flying monkey, to extract some of Regina's blood. After doing so, the Wicked Witch mixes the blood with a potion intending to seek revenge on Regina. ("New York City Serenade", "Witch Hunt") While still in the palace, she notices Regina and a man break in through the underground tunnel with intentions of bringing down the barrier encasing the building. Zelena also learns that Regina is concocting her own brew of the Sleeping Curse and planning to use it on herself. Only after Regina, having broken the palace shield, prepares to use the curse, she finally reveals herself to the other woman. The Wicked Witch speaks freely about having tried on Regina's clothes and seeing all the various rooms in the palace such as the crypt. While Regina believes Zelena forcibly opened the crypt, which is bound by blood magic, she insists that is not the case. When she admits their relation as half-sisters, with Cora as their shared mother, Regina doesn't believe her. Zelena elaborates by detailing how she was sent away to Oz while scathingly recounting how Cora gave Regina everything. Though Regina considers her lucky to have escaped Cora's tyranny, Zelena is too hurt by her mother's abandonment. Additionally, Zelena feels inferior to her since they were both students of Rumplestiltskin, but yet she wasn't the one chosen to enact the curse. Upon learning Cora and Rumplestiltskin are dead, she is somewhat disappointed by the news. Nonetheless, Zelena announces that her true intent is to get what she desires; describing it as "her dreams being realized" while Regina will suffer a "fate worse than death". ("Witch Hunt")
Zelena entraps a man named Lumiere into a form of a candelabrum; forcing him to manipulate Belle and Neal into reviving Rumplestiltskin by using a key to open the vault of the Dark One. Unknown to the pair, whoever resurrects the Dark One will lose their life. Shortly after Neal opens the vault, he begins dying while Rumplestiltskin is resurrected. As opportunity would have it, Zelena reveals herself to Rumpletstiltskin as he is holding his son as well as the accursed dagger. Since he is unable to cling onto both Neal and the dagger, she grabs the weapon. To keep his son alive, Rumplestiltskin quickly absorbs him into his own body. Zelena then orders him to kill Belle, but before he can, she is entrapped by Lumiere's flames. The girl flees unharmed; taking Lumiere with her, while Zelena furiously seethes. ("Quiet Minds")
Leading Rumplestiltskin back to this old castle, she imprisons him in the great hall inside a human-sized cage. After learning Aurora and Prince Phillip told Snow White that she desires their unborn child, Zelena makes a speedy entrance to the palace to turn the twosome into flying monkeys as punishment. Leaving no time to waste, she immobilizes Snow White and does the same to Prince Charming and Regina when they attempt to defend the pregnant princess. Casually, she approaches to touch Snow White's belly and promises the child will soon be hers. Later, Snow White learns from the banished Good Witch of the South, Glinda, that Zelena is weakest against light magic; a criteria Emma fits, and she proceeds to cast another Dark Curse to return everyone to Storybrooke. In the midst of it, Zelena interferes by dropping a potion into the curse mixture, which will erase their memories of the past year in the Enchanted Forest. Victorious, she flies off back to the castle to ingest a substance to retain her memories. Zelena then hands the same vial to Rumplestiltskin; daring him to keep his memories or be foolish enough to want to forget.
During Second Curse
While in Storybrooke, Zelena imprisons a resurrected Mr. Gold, courtesy of Neal, who previously used a key on the vault of the Dark One to bring back his father. As a price of opening the vault, Neal was supposed to die, but just before he perished, Mr. Gold absorbed him into his own body. At a town hall meeting, she gets her first glimpse of the savior, Emma, who is attempting to figure out who caused the new curse. One of the residents, Leroy, openly blames the mayor, Regina; an accusation that the other townspeople agree with as does Emma. In a display of frustration, Regina causes a tremor and magically dissipates out of the room. Zelena, sitting at the end of one aisle, watches the situation with interest. Under the disguise of a midwife, she strikes up conversation with Mary Margaret at the diner. The mother-to-be is ecstatic to have found someone who has expertise in childbirth and jokingly remarks that she might still need Zelena even after the baby is born. With Mary Margaret's permission, she is allowed to touch her pregnant belly. Hours later, Leroy announces to the town's citizens that Emma caught Regina making a memory potion, which will apparently allow whoever drinks it to recall who cursed them. To protect herself from exposure, Zelena teleports into the mayoral office during the night to steal the potion, but disappears in green smoke when Emma and Regina burst in to apprehend her. Luckily, they do not catch a glimpse of her face, which is shrouded by the smoke. That same night, she magically opens a cellar door outside her house and carries a tray of food to a ragged and disheveled Mr. Gold, who grabs her arm to hiss that she should have never brought him back. She laughs, roughly kicking the tray into the cell, snidely telling him to "eat up" since they've got work to do and then strolls out of the cellar with ease. ("Witch Hunt", "Quiet Minds") Paying Mr. Gold another visit in the cellar, she walks in on him furiously spinning straw into gold. Purposely, Zelena unlocks the cell door, daring him to harm her, though well aware he cannot since she possesses the Dark One's Dagger. She forces him to sit still while giving him a facial shave using the dagger as a razor. During the task, Zelena sourly recounts how her drunken father often made her shave him. She recalls him telling her to "put on her best face", which was impossible since the outside always shows what is rotting on the inside. On purpose, Zelena nicks Mr. Gold to get a droplet of his blood. Later, she goes to the pawnshop, which is now run by Belle, to ask for a baby gift for Mary Margaret, but quickly freezes the girl, and uses Mr. Gold's blood on a locked compartment behind a wall painting to retrieve a plant called night root. On her first day as midwife, Zelena is introduced to Mary Margaret's husband, David, and makes the couple chamomile tea at their apartment. Without their notice, she spikes David's tea with night root, later causing the man to fight a physical manifestation of himself as his greatest fear. He manages to kill it with his own sword hilt, which Zelena magically pockets in her handbag. While leaving the apartment, Zelena gushes enthusiastically about Mary Margaret's charming husband and reassures the expecting mother that with her around, she won't need to worry about the baby. ("The Tower")
Discovering Mr. Gold has broken out of the cellar, Zelena exerts power of the dagger to summon Mr. Gold, which doesn't work due to Neal, in his father's body, resisting the weapon's power. Angry at the failure, she sends a flying monkey to search for him. Mary Margaret phones her, panicked about not feeling the baby move as of recently, to which Zelena hurries over to the apartment with groceries. She calms her down, stating it's normal for babies to move infrequently as the labor date nears, and offers orange juice. Mary Margaret brushes off the baby's current state as due to her own worries, though Zelena knows the Wicked Witch, which everyone in town is talking about, must also be giving her stress. After Mary Margaret downs all of the orange juice, she is surprised to feel the baby kick. Delighted, the dutiful midwife happily remarks that Mary Margaret could have the child any day now. Disguising sinister words in a cheerful tone, Zelena even says that she simply won't allow Mary Margaret to have the child without her. Later, she excuses herself to the bathroom and escapes the apartment through an open window. As luck would have it, Zelena disappears in time just before Emma and David discover, from Mr. Gold, her identity as the Wicked Witch. They burst in to apprehend Zelena, but she is gone. In the woods, she meets up with a stoic Mr. Gold, who is watching over the corpse of his dead son, after their bodies were magically separated by Emma. He attempts to attack her, but she subdues him with the dagger. Despite that her real persona has been exposed, Zelena claims she'll have much use for Mr. Gold's brain. ("Quiet Minds")
Zelena storms the town diner threatening anyone who gets in her way will have to deal with the Dark One. She announces herself as Regina's half-sister and forces her into a showdown on Main Street after sundown. Before the deadline, she catches Mr. Gold's lover, Belle, enter the cellar and attempt to guide him out of the prison. Once the girl flees, Zelena magically induces Mr. Gold to give a message to the rest of Belle's allies, David, Emma and Tinker Bell, outside the cellar, that anyone who attempts to hinder her quest to take down Regina will die. At nightfall, Zelena shows up, with Mr. Gold in tow, though Regina is absent. When challenged by Emma, who she sees as an unworthy opponent, Zelena has Mr. Gold magically fling her away. Regina arrives to the confrontation, having accepted they are sisters, but doesn't understand the grudge Zelena has against her. Zelena wickedly remarks that it's because Regina was born, and she receives a slap in retaliation. As they trade blows in magic, Zelena furiously declares that Regina had everything even though she didn't appreciate or deserve it. Eventually, she magically chokes Regina and sends her flying into the clock tower. Then, Zelena attempts to rip out her sister's heart, but discovers it is hidden elsewhere. Before taking off on a broom, she savagely promises to take everything Regina has. Locking up Mr. Gold once more, Zelena informs him that what she is planning to cast isn't a curse, but something to give herself a second chance to change her own past. ("It's Not Easy Being Green")
Despite her easy defeat of the savior the prior night, Zelena knows she can't kill Emma, who has powerful magic within her and could be a threat. She makes use of Hook, the sole person that regained his memories from the past year, and is also aware he is in love with Emma. Devising a scheme to take down the savior, she disguises herself as Ariel, a mermaid who once had Hook's aid in finding the man she loves, Prince Eric, only for him to selfishly choose to reclaim his ship over helping her. As Ariel, she tricks Hook into believing since the new curse, Eric hasn't returned and asks for his help locating him. They track down Eric's cloak at the pawnshop and pour a potion on it, which leads them straight to the harbor and then sinks into the water. "Ariel" pretends to be distraught; believing this is a sign Eric is dead. Overcome with guilt, Hook confesses having met Ariel during the missing year in the Enchanted Forest in which he chose to save his ship over Eric's life; hoping it would fill a void left in his heart from having to leave the woman he loved. To prove he still believes in love, "Ariel" makes him swear on the woman's name, but no sooner do the words "Emma Swan" come out of his mouth, Zelena places a curse on him. Revealing her true colors, she explains that the real Ariel already found Eric on an island outside the boundaries of the curse and they are now together. Zelena also declares her intent in cursing him as she wants Hook to kiss Emma, which will remove all of the savior's magic. Though Hook refuses, she promises to kill all of Emma's loved ones should he fail. ("The Jolly Roger")
While distracting Regina with a visit to her house, Zelena has Mr. Gold fetch her sister's heart from Robin Hood. Then, she dolls Mr. Gold up by making him wear an extravagant suit and later sit down for a meal with her. Over dinner, she fills him in on her motives for collecting various ingredients, like David's sword and Regina's heart, in order to cast a time spell to change her own past. At first, Mr. Gold has doubts Zelena can actually do it, but she sweetens the deal by offering to take him along with her so he can be reunited with his son again. Impressed, her former teacher admits he was wrong to have not chosen her in the past and makes up for his errors by engaging Zelena in a heady make-out session. Zelena falls under his alluring spell, but not for long, especially when she realizes he is only toying with her long enough to grab the dagger. Seizing control of the weapon before he can reach it, she angrily berates Mr. Gold for his lost chance of ever seeing his son again and orders him back to his cell. ("Bleeding Through")
On the town roadside, Zelena awaits Mr. Gold, who drives up and unveils a kidnapped Hook inside the trunk. She warns Hook for the last time to get a move on her plan to eliminate Emma's magic, or Henry will pay the price. He fails to follow her orders and even attempts to take the boy out of Storybrooke in secret. Zelena sends several flying monkeys after them, but all are destroyed. While Henry, his memory loss cured by touching the fairytale storybook, is basking in a reunion with Regina, Zelena grabs and proceeds to choke him. Regina's attempt to defend her son is overturned when she is knocked unconscious as Zelena continues to aggressively suffocate Henry. However, she is caught off guard when Emma uses magic to scald her. This moment of distraction causes her to let go of Henry and retreat from the fight. After the battle, Regina breaks the new curse by giving Henry a kiss of true love. ("A Curious Thing")
After Second Curse
Proceeding with her plan to enact a time spell, Zelena takes the gold strands Mr. Gold has spun and transforms it into his brain; another needed ingredient. She then has him dig a symbol into the ground of the barn. The last spell component—the baby—is missing since Mary Margaret is in labor, but also because Emma situated a protective barrier around the delivery room to keep Zelena out. She catches Emma and Hook approaching the barn and quickly wins the situation in her own favor by drowning the pirate until he is unconscious; therefore forcing the savior to resuscitate him and be stripped of her magic. In doing so, Emma's protective spell fades. On her way to claim the last ingredient for the spell, Zelena subdues the Merry Men, Belle and Regina before stealing Mary Margaret's newborn son. Returning to the barn, she begins the spell only for David, Emma, Hook, Regina and Robin Hood to intervene. While everyone else is no match for Zelena, Regina overpowers her with light magic. Regina snatches Zelena's pendant; rendering her powerless without magic, and takes away the dagger as well. Simmering with rage, Mr. Gold attempts to kill Zelena for enslaving him, but Regina spares her sister's life. Imprisoned in a jail cell, Zelena grudgingly accepts her current dilemma, but fails to understand why she is still alive. Regina sympathizes with her since they both suffered as Cora's daughters and by having lives they didn't want. She also knows what it's like to be fueled by vengeance and gives Zelena a second chance to reshape a better future for herself. Later on, Mr. Gold, wielding the dagger, seeks payback for his son's death by stabbing Zelena to death. Her body transforms into a statue, which he shatters into pieces. Unseen to his eyes, the remains of her body turn into powder and vanish. Tucked away in the vault, Zelena's pendant airs out a greenish smoke and travels to the barn; engulfing the time spell symbol on the ground. ("Kansas")
- The Sentai/Power Rangers villainess Bandora/Rita Repulsa was partly inspired by the Wicked Witch, including her cackle, riding a bike through the sky like Miss Gulch, and having a (sometimes) Flying Monkey servant, Grifforzer/Goldar. Her scheme for destroying the Dragon/Green Ranger with a cursed candle also bears similarities to how the Witch intended to kill Dorothy.
- In the original RSC production of The Wizard of Oz, the role of The Wicked Witch of the West was portrayed by male actor Billie Brown similar to how a male actor portrayed Principal Agatha Trunchbull in the original London production of Matilda.

WASHINGTON, N.Y. -- New rules adopted earlier in August by the Federal Communications Commission require mobile carriers and many text messaging apps to enable people to send text messages to 911 by the end of the year.
The Text-to-911 service is considered a lifeline, especially in cases where it's too dangerous to talk, like domestic abuse or hostage situations. It's also vital for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
"Text to 911 provides direct access. The connection happens quickly. It's more efficient. Less risk involved," said Dr. Christian Vogler, Gallaudet University.
Vogler and his team at Gallaudet advised the FCC on the technology. He said, right now, a deaf person in need of help has to first contact an interpreter through a video relay service.
"The call is delayed. It takes a long time to actually get through the relay service – probably five to ten minutes, which obviously if you are having a heart attack is not good," Vogler said.
Depending on where you live, that text might not go anywhere. Less than two percent of 911 dispatch centers across the country support the technology.
It's only available in parts of 16 states – including New York, Texas and North Carolina.
At the moment, there is no nationwide plan to implement Text-to-911.
While that's being worked out, the FCC said that texting the police – for now – should be limited to the hearing-impaired in the areas where it's available.
"I know that all the deaf and hard-of-hearing people I work with have been fighting for this for a long time because they do want access now," Vogler said.

Winding down the evening with a depressing last-call drink at one club or another, graceless, wretched, totally lost. Far gone in reverie and drink, recalling a time of seeming limitlessness, when we flew on private planes and went to houses with marble bathrooms as big as our apartment. The wave of self-pity interrupted by a hissing drag queen ("That's my foot, you drunk bitch") and a club rat's uniquely Miami-style monologue, all about the angst of having it all: "Where do you go when you get in wherever you want, when you've been everywhere and done everything? I'm so bored and disgusted. It's a dark and ugly forest out here, and believe me, you have to be strong to survive.

TGIF everyone!
My little one has a fever so no gym for me this morning. I called my hubby and he's coming home early. I'll do a afternoon gym workout. I just hope I don't get sick too. Other than that my complaint is that the damn scale won't move!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGGGG! Almost two weeks now and I've been stuck. I didn't workout yesterday so I know that added to it. Last week was TOM. Hummm. Maybe something will happen this weekend that will get it moving again. I have 4.5 wks to reach my next goal 9 pounds away. Sigh.

I am having a very good weekend off work! yay! Working 8 days in a row does pay off when you get a nice weekend off like this. I worked out both Sat and Sunday. This morning (Sunday) I did my weight training and 25 minutes of cardio. I didn't think I was going to make it!! It really pushed me. I hope to see some results. A few weeks of this and I'm feeling better and better each day.

It seems I have a really full week when it come to my To Do list. Don't forget everyone: Be kind to yourself today and give your body only what it needs and not what the mind thinks it wants.

Yesterday was the longest hardest workout day of my life. My poor foot is YELLING at me today because of what I put it through. Yesterday I was still up a pound since Monday. I decided I was going to get in a really good day. I increased my resistance at the gym and worked out about 10-15 minutes longer. Then a new friend invited me to walk with them last night. I don't walk these days due to my foot problem. I ended up walking with them for 1 hr and 15 minutes! I never got out of breath so we weren't going too fast but that was the longest walk I've ever gone on! This morning I was done 0.4 of a pound. 208.0 ARRGGGHHH. I need a rest day from the gym. I've gone every single day for over a week now. We had appointments for my DD so I decided to have a rest day. Besides. My foot is killing me and I think my new shoes gave me blisters. lol!
Its a odd mix of being happy that I did it, sort of sad I didn't break below 208, and on the verge of being discouraged and eating junk food. Oh well. I'm not going to over think it today. I ate a good lunch, will go to work later, and do my thing like its any other normal day. Basically I'll worry about it later. Not that worry will fix anything right now! LOL!

Hi. I'm new here. Today is day 1 and all I want to do is eat...but I remember how it feels to bend over. I feel like I represent the letter "O". I used to say I can't get how people get so large they just lay in bed. I get it. I can't wait to get home from work, take off my tight clothes and put on my loosest clothes....and I guess eventually that'd be a sheet, huh?
Anyhow, a little bit about me. I'm 5'7 and very near 300...about 280. I just want to get to 220 and I'd be happy! Plus, thinking 60lbs is less daunting.
I'd like to hear about you all- how much have you lost? how to maintain positive energy? I'm in no way giving in to the excuse, but my life is in struggles- financially and personally. To make it simple, I'm struggling to end a long, violent relationship and I don't make enough money for my house anymore. I'm 37, w/ 3 kids- but only 1 lives at home..that's because the other 2 are in college! My 21 yr old (yup, former teen mom) is a senior in college and my 17 yr old a freshman...and I have an almost 3 yr old (from the abusive relationship)...my kids rock and are smart and healthy...so I want to be too. Plus, I think life will change if I feel pretty again. See? There I go rambling again! How about ya'll?

Today on Tablet
In The Vices, novelist Lawrence Douglas weaves a self-consciously bookish tale about the American equivalent of a nobleman and his hamishe Jewish Boswell, only, as books critic Adam Kirsch explains today in Tablet Magazine, to slowly hint that perhaps the story is a little more complicated than it initially appears.

Document - Morocco/ Western Sahara: Further Information on UA 16/08 - Fear of unfair imprisonment/ Prisoners of conscience/ Health concern
PUBLIC AI Index: MDE 29/004/2008
08 February 2008
Further Information on UA 16/08 (MDE 29/003/2008, 18 January 2008) - Fear of unfair imprisonment/ Prisoners of conscience/ Health concern
MOROCCO/ Mohamed Boughrine (m)] aged 72, prisoner of conscience
WESTERN SAHARA Abdelkbir Rabaoui (m) ]
Abass Abbassi (m) ]
Mohamed Fadel (m) ]
Abdelaziz Timor (m) ] All members of the Moroccan Brahim Ahansal (m) ] Association for Human Rights
Smaïn Amrar (m) ] (Association Marocaine des
Abderrahmane Aaji (m) ] Droits Humains, AMDH)
Mohamed Yousfi (m) ]
Nabil Cherqui (m) ]
On 6 February, the Moroccan Court of Cassation handed down its judgment in the case of the 10 men named above, who are all members of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (Association Marocaine des Droits Humains, AMDH). They were convicted in August 2007 of "undermining the monarchy" by a court of appeal.
The Court of Cassation upheld the one-year prison sentence handed down against Abdelkbir Rabaoui, Brahim Ahansal and Mohamed Yousfi by a Court of Appeal on 9 August 2007. They are therefore at immediate risk of being imprisoned solely for having exercised their right to peaceful expression and assembly. If arrested Amnesty International would adopt them as prisoners of conscience and would call for their immediate and unconditional release.
However, the Court of Cassation dismissed on procedural grounds the three-year-prison sentence against prisoner of conscience Mohamed Boughrine, and the one-year-prison sentence against the six other members of the AMDH. This means that their case should soon be re-examined by an appeal court.
Amnesty International is concerned at reports that Mohamed Boughrine's health is deteriorating. According to his family, Mohamed Boughrine, who is 72 years-old, has breathing difficulties exacerbated by the fact that he has previously lost half of one lung. In 2001, he suffered from an internal bleed which continues to cause him health problems. His medical problems reportedly originate from the time of his previous detentions. Mohamed Boughrine also suffers from rheumatism, which is reportedly exacerbated by cold and dampness in the prison.
On 28 January 2008, the Medical Association for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture, a Moroccan NGO which provides medical support to victims of past human rights violations, announced that the Ministry of Justice had refused it permission to visit Mohamed Boughrine. Although there is a medical doctor in the Beni Mellal prison where Mohamed Boughrine is held, as stipulated in Moroccan law, his family is concerned that he is not receiving the care and treatment appropriate to his condition.
The 10 men named above were arrested on 5 and 6 June 2007 and charged with "undermining the monarchy", after participating in a peaceful sit-in in the city of Beni Mellal, held in solidarity with seven other members of the AMDH arrested after demonstrations on 1 May 2007.
The seven other members of the AMDH continue to serve prison sentences ranging from two to four years, after being convicted of "undermining the monarchy". Amnesty International adopted them as prisoners of conscience.
During the 1 May demonstrations and the 5 June sit-in, participants chanted slogans critical of the monarchy, such as "no more taboos, more freedom" and "jet ski and parties, where is the money of the people?", in reference to a sport practiced by the King. The monarchy remains a taboo subject in Morocco. In recent years, several people, including journalists and political activists, have been prosecuted and in some cases sentenced to prison terms, after peacefully expressing critical views on the monarchy.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send appeals to arrive as quickly as possible, in Arabic, French or your own language or your own language:
- urging the Moroccan authorities not to imprison Abdelkbir Rabaoui, Brahim Ahansal and Mohamed Yousfi for having peacefully exercised their legitimate rights to freedom of expression and assembly, enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Morocco is a state party;
- expressing concern at reports that the health of prisoner of conscience Mohamed Boughrine is deteriorating;
- urging the Moroccan authorities to ensure that Mohamed Boughrine receives adequate medical care and treatment, in accordance with the UN Body of Principles for the Protection of all Persons Under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment;
- urging the Moroccan authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Mohamed Boughrine and the seven other members of the AMDH imprisoned solely for having peacefully exercised their rights to freedom of expression and assembly;
- calling on the Moroccan authorities to repeal or amend legislation which criminalizes the legitimate exercise of fundamental freedoms, and to bring such legislation into line with international standards.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Lockheed Martin is hopeful a new technology will have us covered if an enemy drone were to attack from an unsuspecting direction. The Medium Extended Air Defense System, or MEADS, deliberately launched a missile last week in the wrong direction, and was able to quickly turn it 360 degrees to successfully destroy a target. Lockheed was responsible for the surveillance radar on that launch. The new radar will help military be prepared to fight overhead threats no matter where they originate. A Lockheed spokesperson says the company is cautiously optimistic with the launch, and says the program has met every milestone and remains on budget.

Stocks Higher After 5-day Losing Streak
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Stocks notched their first gain of the week Thursday after Spain announced severe budget cuts intended to convince the world that it can meet deficit-reduction targets.
It was the best day for the U.S. market since Sept. 13, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced further steps by the central bank to speed the economic recovery.
Stocks were also helped by speculation that the central bank of China will act soon to help the world's No. 2 economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 72.46 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at 13,485.97. It was the Dow's first gain in five trading sessions. The average was up as much as 109 points after the Spain announcement.The Standard & Poor's 500 index, after five days of declines, closed up 13.83 points, or just shy of 1 percent, at 1,447.15. The Nasdaq composite index rose 42.90 points to 3,136.60. The Nasdaq and S&P were helped by a jump in Apple stock, reversing three days of declines. Apple gained $16.14, or 2.4 percent, to $681.32 despite an analyst's report reducing estimates for shipments of iPhones later this year. As fear grew that Spain will need an international bailout, the finance minister said a draft budget for 2013 cuts overall spending by ⿬40 billion, or about $51 billion. He said cuts for ministries would average almost 9 percent. The cuts are meant to show world investors and other countries that Spain can meet fiscal targets. The budget unveiling, shortly before noon EDT, lifted the U.S. stock market from what had been only modest gains. "That's the only major thing that's happened," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist for the brokerage BTIG. "It's an excuse to rally the stock market." Technology stocks and energy companies made the biggest gains. Utility stocks, which tend to do well when investors are fearful, were the only industry group in the S&P to fall.

Aliskiren-amlodipine (Tekamlo)
What is Aliskiren-amlodipine?
Aliskiren is an anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering) medication. It works by decreasing substances in the body that narrow blood vessels and raise blood pressure.

Early retirement pension at age 60-64:
* CPP reduces your pension amount by 0.5% for each month that you take it before age 65, calculated from the time you begin receiving your pension
* starting in 2012 to 2016, this early pension reduction will gradually increase from 0.52% to 0.6% per month * this means that if you start receiving your CPP pension in 2016 at age 60, your pension amount will be 36% less than it would have been had you taken it at age 65

* if you take your pension after age 65, your monthly payment amount will increase by 0.7 % for each month that you delay receiving it up to age 70 (8.4% per year)
* this means that, an individual who starts receiving their retirement pension at the age of 70 will receive 42% more than if they had taken it at 65

Prism Microsystems has updated its security information and event log management program. EventTracker 6.4 adds features to monitor user activity and the flow of data between virtual machines on a single host to address security in virtual environments.
The company said the new release monitors and correlates log data in real time at all layers of the virtual infrastructure, including the management application, the hardware, the hypervisor, the guest operating system, and applications.
"Virtualization has gone mainstream. Although the benefits are numerous, the accompanying challenges of visibility, control, and added complexity require businesses to change the way they manage security," A.N. Ananth, CEO of Prism Microsystems. "With EventTracker 6.4, our customers are not only ensured a powerful solution for securing their virtual infrastructure, they also benefit from seamless monitoring across both physical and virtual systems for enterprise-wide compliance and security visibility."
The new release also offers a function called Enterprise Activity Monitoring (EAM), a dashboard that identifies any new or extraordinary behavior by user, admin, system, process, and IP address to detect zero-day breaches and malware. According to the company, the monitoring function uses statistical and behavioral correlation to identify anomalies that could be security risks.
The software is in use at Duval County Public Schools in Jacksonville, FL.
