A southern California girl born and raised, I live in the Los Angeles area with my husband, Andrew. My love for reading began as a child: each morning my mom found me waiting on the couch with a book to read together. Since then, I have made it my life's mission to read and share wonderful stories with others. At the heart of my passion for reading is a delight in learning and discovering, which is why I also love to travel, write, sing, and play the piano. My favorite place to read is in a coffee shop, where I can enjoy a delicious cup of tea or coffee and the background noise creates a gentle soundtrack to the book. Above all else, I am a daughter of Christ, blessed beyond measure.About Me
Ariel's work on The Mercy Seat was phenomenal. She not only pointed me toward the weaknesses in my manuscript, but also identified my strengths and coached me on how to form them. She has an excellent eye for detail as well. She is the type of editor that takes each manuscript and helps turn it into the masterpiece the writer envisioned it to be!
~Alvetta Rolle, The Mercy Seat
When Ariel reworked my proposal I felt confident that I was in excellent hands. With skill and precision she offered encouragement and tactfully made suggestions where needed. With her gifting she was able to finesse my work and help me produce something professional and clean that I was very pleased with.
~Elaini Garfield, Misselainious.com
When Ariel worked on my thesis, she not only caught many grammar mistakes and misspelled words, but drew my attention to strategies that helped me become a stronger and more concise writer. Her love of the English language combined with her fun sense of humor made the process enjoyable. Ariel is competent in her craft and a joy to work with.

PUBLISHED Fri Nov 19 23:02:00 EST 2010 0 1 / 5 Caribbean Colors The U.K.-administered Turks and Caicos Islands in the northern Caribbean (map) create a scene of abstract beauty in a false-color satellite picture taken by the NASA/USGS Landsat 7 orbiter. The shot is part of a set of Landsat 7 images released Tuesday called the Earth as Art 3 collection. (See more Earth as Art 3 pictures.)As seen in the picture, the islands (red) lie primarily along the northern edge of the submerged Caicos Bank (turquoise). The bank is a shallow platform made of limestone, sand, algae, and coral reefs that covers 2,370 square miles (6,140 square kilometers). Image courtesy EROS/USGS/NASA Mystery Rings In visible light, the planetary nebula known as NGC 1514 resembles a pale jellyfish swimming through the vastness of space. But a new picture from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer shows that the cosmic jelly is trapped in a glowing "hamster wheel."In reality, the nebula is made of two elderly stars. One object is already a type of stellar corpse called a white dwarf. The other object is a dying giant star that used to be like our sun but is now expanding and shedding its outer layers to form a bubble around both stars.Jets of material from the white dwarf are thought to have smashed into this bubble's wall. The areas where the jets hit appear as orange rings in the WISE image, because the heated dust in the rings glows in infrared. Image courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/WISE Mars Rift A deep chasm cuts through winding fault lines in the Phoenicis Lacus region of Mars, as seen in a newly released picture taken by the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter.Phoenicis Lacus is thought to have been formed by episodes of intense geologic activity driven by nearby volcanoes. The 1.8-mile-deep (3-kilometer-deep) pit was made when part of the landscape collapsed.

Image courtesy NASA Star Sculptor A dying star crafts a cosmic bow tie as seen in a new near-infrared picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.When sunlike stars near death, they puff up and begin to shed their outer layers of gas, as seen above. Later the process may result in a colorful cloud of debris called a planetary nebula.Hubble spied this nebula, dubbed IRAS 20068 4051, during a short-lived early stage, when the escaping gases are still relatively cool and so shine mostly in near-infrared. Eventually, when the star is a full-fledged planetary nebula, IRAS 20068 4051 will be hot enough to make the surrounding gas glow brightly in visible light.

I am left wondering where the FX-51 will fit into the market now that the Athlon 64 3400+ is just as fast and a much more budget conscious product. I was very happy with how well this platform worked overall and the new CPU package design is far superior to their previous CPU's making that alone is a excellent stand out point about the Athlon 64. The 3400+ was faster in about every test but SYSmark 2002/2004, which is par for the course when comparing AMD against Intel with those tests. The previous versions of SYSmark have always had AMD following way behind but the new 2004 scores show both platforms around the same performance level with a much shorter gap in the scoring between the two.
The Verdict; if you want a chip that has tomorrow's technology today and are looking for an alternative platform to the Intel giant the AMD Athlon 64 3400+ has a lot to offer under the hood. Although the age of 64-bit computing is a bit ahead of time the reality will be realized within the next year as more and more companies start gearing up for that environment. The first Intel CPU to utilize 32-bit technology dates back to the 80386, which dates back almost fifteen years so it is good to just see someone take the initiative and push technology forward. After all 15 years is a long, long time in this business for something to remain the same as the technology jump is usually every six months or so. The AMD X86-64 technology found in the Athlon 64 is the first mass produced CPU of its kind.
The speed and performance of this chip along with the sheer audacity of AMD for putting their necks out in the almost now non-existent 64-Bit platform impresses me as to what risks they are willing to take in the name of advancing technology. $400.00 is not too steep of a price for a top of the line CPU and AMD should do well at this price point for the gamer and enthusiast who want the most bang for the buck. So far as motherboards for this CPU go, the SOYO Dragon Plus was the fastest but with limited options and the MSI K8T-NEO scored second fastest with an abundance of features. Personally, I have to touch on this new CPU design as a move in the right direction as far as the home builder goes, as this new package cannot be crushed by the CPU fan such as its predecessors and offers a safe zone unavailable since AMD's Socket A era. Good job AMD, now users really have a choice of powerhouse CPU's that won't break the bank to get a top of the line CPU in their system. Look for the soon to arrive FX-53 to balance up the AMD 64-Bit platforms as it is sure to be one fast chip and will surely out pace the 3400+.


text: Dear Vinet, Firstly, I always advise my clients to set the tolerance option to Usage rather than QoH. QoH doesnt make any business sense to me. If you are managing stocks well, the inventory level will vary between almost 0 and your buy-in quantity. The same inventory discrepancy could be an easy pass or a bad fail depending on when in the month you do the count. Items with high volume but predictable usage can be run with very little safety stock, so that a small proportion of unrecorded usage could cause a huge discrepance versus QoH. An extreme example is when you try to clear out the decimal pouints left by MFG/PRO's unrounded backflushing. QoH = 0.00001. Actual = 0.00000. Totally insignifcant discrepancy but it counts as a fail because its 100% of QoH! Tolerance % have to be lower if you use Usage, because Usage is a much higher multiplier than QoH. So if you switch to Usage you'd probably want lower settings than the ones listed. Hate to disagree with Scott, but I dont often get the chance so will do it anyway! 70% Inventory accuracy doesnt mean that that the inventory is off by 30%. The question is what is an acceptable discrepancy versus and unacceptable discrepancy. E.g. suppose we use about 1000 a month of a part and have about 500 in stock on average. Suppose we determine that a discrepancy of more than 50 will be unacceptable operationally, causing inability to fulfill demand as planned, etc. 70% accuracy means that 30% of items have discrepancies bigger than this tolerance limit. In total, the value may be out by as little as 3% (in this example). Not a big deal financially, but operationally this could be a disaster if the missing items mean we cant ship a high value product and has a long lead time to get in a replacement. So to Vinet's question, the tolerances appropriate for your business depend on what you make, the predictability of demand and the impact of shortages (lead times, etc).

5 yr old peeing when angry
Within the past few months, my five and a half year old step son has began wetting his pants when angry. On occasion he has peed directly on the carpet as well. It doesn't happen often, but it has been a few times each month. Prior to and during this time frame he occasionally had accidents at school including wetting and defecating. I know this is not normal behavior, and I do not know how to deal with this in an appropriate manner. When I get angry or discipline him, he gets the attention he must surely be grasping for, and thus I am at a loss for how to dissipate this problematic behavior. HELP!! Anyone have similar issues, or know anything about this??

Going forward, please do you best to not get angry or even have much of a reaction at all. I know this is hard. I promise you that I dont suggest that lightly- I really know how hard it is to keep our cool in situations like this. Now... make an appointment with your son's doctor to discuss possible physical situations that need to be looked at. If you do not like his DR... ask around and get another Dr. Most likely this is just a phase that he will out grow and you need to not make a big deal about it in front of him. Hang in there. Talk to us... and your friends... get the support you need. AND love your son unconditionally. He needs it like all kiddos do :>)posted 05/28/2010 by CDori

Dear JACUSTOMER - Generally they use a urine test but it can vary among POs so there's no guarantee that a urine test will be used in all cases. Hair follicles are also used. I'm not certain what difference it makes in a given situation but the PO is permitted to use any acceptable means to test for drugs.

I have been in Seattle for 19 years and have decided to move to Portland. I lived there for a while about 20 years ago and the city has changed a lot (me to). I hear the Portland is very "bike friendly".
I am wondering if anyone from Portland can give me some good links for queue sheets etc ... Are there any scheduled group rides, clubs etc ...? I am still some what of a novice and only just completed a CTS century here in Seattle last week in the 14-16Mph group. I had a lot of fun.
I have a fear of hills which I have been working on here in Seattle. We have so many of different grades that you almost have to get over it. It has been a fun challenge. Are most of the hills in Portland the west hills (those seem daunting)? Are there some that are a little less daunting? I don't want to lose my work on hills.

Looper Interview: Emily Blunt Talks Shotguns, Redemption And A Nickname For Her Fans
By Sean O'Connell 2012-09-26 07:19:34 comments
Our Looper coverage continues as we prep for Rian Johnsons time-traveling assassination thriller, which opens in theaters on Friday, Sept. 28.
Earlier this week, we sat down with Looper star Joseph Gordon-Levitt to discuss his character, a hit man tasked with eliminating targets from a distant future who hesitates on pulling the trigger when he realizes in the blink of an eye that his latest victim is the future version of himself (played by Bruce Willis). While JGLs character goes on the hunt for his older self, his paths cross with a lovely but cautious farmer whose son has a bigger role in the larger Looper story.
The farmer is played by Emily Blunt, who took time at the Toronto International Film Festival to speak with us about chopping wood, her nickname for her fans, and the enormous power of a mothers love. Heres Emily Blunt.
Did you feel that The Adjustment Bureau wasnt confusing enough for your die-hard fans, that you felt like you need to challenge them with a twisty time-bending thriller? And what, exactly, are your die-hard fans called? Blunt-ites? Blunt-heads?
Oh, yes! Blunt-heads would be good. We absolutely need to go with that!
Blunt-heads it is. Are you actively trying to challenge them?
Oh, sure. I think I really just want to challenge myself, more than anything. People have been asking me if Im gravitating to these sci-fi roles, but I dont feel I necessarily am because theyve been sort of sporadic as to when they come out. But I do like the idea of creating a backstop that is high concept for the characters to really have stuff to play with within that.
When writing my review, I normally leave one or two paragraphs for plot synopsis. And thats just not possible with this film.
No, not at all.
And your character, in particular, is difficult to explain without giving far too much away.
Its a definite challenge. And it has been a challenge for me to pitch (up here) when people ask me about it. Im like, Duuuuuhhhhhh! [Laughs]
Oh, thats great. So what are you saying about Sarah that isnt ruining everything?
First off, thank you for not ruining everything. I play Sarah, who is a very, very tough cookie living an isolated existence on this remote farm in the middle of Kansas. I have a child. Im a single mother. And shes fiercely protective of her child. She never lets the outside world in, really. So Joes character shows up, and shes very wary and threatened by his presence. But hes actually there to protect them from Bruce Willis, whos coming to get us, for reasons you are going to find out.
Ah ,yes. The farm. I want to thank you for mentioning at the Comic-Con panel the fact that you had real wood flown to your home in California so that in the scenes where you are chopping wood, it didnt look like youd never done it before.
Yes, thats right. And it worked. I actually do not chop wood like a sissy. I practiced for a few weeks beforehand.

"Humane" Goals: Are Animal Rights and Welfare Groups Hurting or Helping?
Amid accusations that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) kills massive numbers of adoptable animals each year instead of finding homes for the dogs and cats, it's now worth wondering whether some of these organizations are doing more harm than good to the animal welfare cause.
The issue made headlines in April 2013 when Nathan J. Winograd, Director of the No Kill Advocacy Center, wrote a special exposé for The Huffington Post alleging that PETA euthanizes thousands of dogs and cats each year without giving them a chance to be adopted – some within minutes of receiving the animal. "Approximately 2,000 animals pass through PETA's front door every year and very few make it out alive," the article read. "The vast majority – 96 percent in 2011 – exit the facility out the back door after they have been killed." According to the source, these animals weren't euthanized because they were in pain. They weren't sick or even elderly. In fact, in certain cases, veterinarians had deemed these animals "adoptable" and "healthy," and they had reached out to the non-profit corporation for the specific purpose of finding these pets a loving home.
Many animal lovers and animal welfare organizations respect the decision to humanely euthanize an animal (whether a well-loved pet or a stray, abused, or neglected animal) that is sick or injured beyond recovery, especially if the animal is suffering. The concern is whether PETA is killing animals that could be saved and adopted. Photo Credit: Flickr (Creative Commons license).
"PETA prefers to spend donations, apparently, not caring for flesh-and- blood animals entrusted to it but on campaigns attacking medical researchers, meat-eaters or women wearing furs. It is as if PETA prefers the idea of animals to animals themselves," reported the San Francisco Chronicle's SF Gate news site back in 2005, after a controversy in which evidence linked PETA employees to the killing of animals. "Why does PETA kill animals that might otherwise find a home?"
Why We Can't All Just Get Along
PETA is, of course, firing back at accusers – but not in any way you might expect, where grand revelations of the truth clear the organization's name. The truth, in fact, is every bit as grim as it sounds in the article in The Huffington Post. "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals acknowledged Wednesday that it did euthanize 95% of the animals at a shelter at its headquarters last year," USA Today reported. "But it defended the practice and said accusations that 'PETA kills animals' are being made by a group representing 'animal exploiters who kill millions of animals every year.'"
Instead, PETA put their time, energy, and substantial funds (the corporation takes in $35,000,000 per year, The Huffington Post reported) into making this video of no-kill shelter staff across the country essentially explaining that their shelters are full to capacity or even overcrowded, and that they can no longer accept any additional animals. Some shelters had months-long waiting lists. The point, PETA argues, is that even "no kill" shelters don't have the capacity to hold all of the animals in need of homes and must turn them away to shelters that do kill.
In No Kill sanctuaries and shelters, like Rikki's Refuge, every spot is often full because animals that are not adopted right away live out their lives in the facility, being cared for by shelter workers and volunteers. These facilities do a world of good for the animals they help, but resources are limited, and they can't help everyone. Photo Credit: Flickr (Creative Commons license).
Is the PETA video factual? I have no doubt. Overcrowding, if not overpopulation, is often a problem in shelters. But I think the bigger question here, the most important question, is why is this relevant?
Unfortunately for animal lovers everywhere and for the general public, the debate here exemplifies a problem that exists within the field of animal rights and welfare. When organizations that most people believe are similar don't actually have the same goals, is it any wonder that they can't get along? Rather than addressing the problem of overcrowding or the reason behind euthanizing animals without any attempt to find a home, these animal (fill-in-the-blank) organizations would rather throw up smokescreens, arguing over who is more hypocritical.
Shouldn't we all be more concerned about how to help abused animals like this dog than about which animal rights/welfare organization is best or who is the most hypocritical? With veterinary care and a loving home, this dog recovered – and so could many others. Photo Credit: Flickr (Creative Commons license).
There's probably not an easy, short-term solution to the overcrowding problem, but killing animals on the spot isn't exactly the "humane" answer that animal lovers everywhere are seeking. In some ways, when I hear the voices in PETA staff's video making the point that even no-kill shelters must allow some animals to be killed, I have the impulse to say, "So what?" Are they actually arguing that if all animals cannot be saved, no animals should be saved? That makes about as much sense as saying that we're all going to die someday, so life – human life, animals' lives, all life – is irrelevant, period. Not a great standpoint for an animal rights organization to take.
The Trouble of Trust
This isn't the first time that PETA has faced accusations of animal cruelty, but the news still shocks readers every time. Perhaps it's because we as a society trust PETA not to harm animals, even if we disagree with some of their radical viewpoints and publicity stunts. Yet the accusations keep coming.
For those of us who aren't in the inner circles of animal welfare and rights organizations, we don't know who to trust. Go to PETA's website, and you'll see cute, sometimes sad animals, accompanied by sensationalized headlines and celebrities posing for awareness. You'll believe (or want to believe) that the organization doesn't kill animals
Images of sad dogs like this one are typical fixtures on animal welfare marketing materials – but is the organization trying to help these animals find homes, or just raise awareness of the issue? Photo Credit: Flickr (Creative Commons license).
PETAkillsanimals.com makes some bold claims against PETA, and the site has some pretty condemning evidence to back up their accusations, including photographs and inspection reports. The problem is that PETAkillsanimals.com is run by the Center for Consumer Freedom, a group that comprises restaurants and food manufacturing companies that have every reason to discredit PETA, regardless of whether or not the euthanasia claims are true. Even the journalist behind the exposé in The Huffington Post isn't objective, being involved with the No Kill Advocacy Center. "There appears to be bad blood between PETA and the No Kill Advocacy Center – and Winograd, specifically – but it is unclear if and how the conflict goes deeper than disagreements about how to control animal overpopulation," wrote the International Business Times. In fact, Winograd and PETA frequently write blog posts and articles condemning each other's practices, and he has also publicly criticized the practices of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
"PETA and Humane Society attacked by reports – but are they real?" read an aptly-titled article on the topic in The Washington Post. While the article is full of statistics and quotes, it never reaches a definitive answer. Instead, it just undermines the credibility of virtually every party involved in the controversy.
Nobody's Right If Everybody's Wrong
I've made the case before that animal cruelty is a public health concern, and that it affects all of us. When we run into this situation where animal rights and animal welfare groups are so divided that they seem to spend more time smearing each other's reputations than actually helping animals, it's not just a problem of politics and power. The movement has let down the general public and animals everywhere. They say there are three sides to every story (yours, mine, and the truth), but in this case, I honestly don't care who is "right."
In some ways, all of this attention on various organizations actually takes attention away from the real issue – protecting animals like this poor abused kitten. Photo Credit: Flickr (Creative Commons license).
I'm not discouraging you from supporting PETA, the Humane Society, the ASPCA, or any other organization you choose. I don't have the answers. Does PETA have a "good" reason for their euthanasia rates? I wish I knew. Is the Center for Consumer Freedom twisting numbers simply to push an agenda? They wouldn't announce it, if so. What does the Humane Society do with their fundraising money? Whatever they want, basically. Why has the ASPCA allegedly killed animals that other rescue organizations offered to accept? In each case, I suspect that the real truth, whatever that may be, is buried so far below press statements, public relations campaigns, and mudslinging attacks that those of us who aren't part of the in-crowd will never know the answers.
It's true that being caged up for years probably isn't much of a life – but that doesn't mean there's no hope for stray, abandoned, neglected, or abused animals to find homes. If they are healthy enough to recover, these animals deserve a chance to be adopted. Photo Credit: Flickr (Creative Commons license).
I do, however, have a suggestion for animal lovers everywhere. Before you let the sad puppy eyes on a heartbreaking commercial or the next outrageous publicity stunt force you into opening up your wallet, find out first what your money is actually going to. If you want to contribute to awareness campaigns, then by all means, do so. If you want to find a loving forever home for an abandoned pet, skip the politics and consider supporting your local animal shelter, instead. Whether you contribute money, time, or materials, you can see the real results of your donation and know for sure that you're helping the cause that you chose. A misleading non-profit can be just as unscrupulous as a for-profit company, and there's nothing charitable about deceiving caring people into funding causes that are at odds with what they truly believe. When that poorly-defined cause leads to the needless killing of animals, it's not just a matter of morality, but a threat to safety that impacts our communities and our families.

SHOT Show on target with gun message
More than 60,000 from the guns and ammo industry are here to celebrate the goodness of guns
LAS VEGAS Here at the SHOT Show it's easy to get swept away by the overload of great news about what guns mean to America.
After all, there are over 60,000 people from the ammunition, guns and hunting industry here for this 36th edition of the SHOT Show, which stands for Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show. No way I can be around this many guns, this many guns and ammo lovers without smelling the gunpowder and getting high on it.
Last night we stood and shouted out the Pledge of Allegiance. I say shout because, honestly, I heard some very loud and deep voices that rattled the room before magicians Penn and Teller performed. Penn and Teller literally capped off their act by shooting .357 magnum guns directly at each other to pull off one of their amazing acts I ever saw. That says all you need to know about that night. There was knife-throwing, fish filleting, some gun jokes and more.
Long-time outdoor writer and legend Jim Zumbo received the Grits Gresham Award for top outdoor writer by the Professional Outdoor Media Association, and Zumbo represents a comeback story in this industry. Zumbo was crucified for a blog post in which he came out against the use of the AR-15 for hunting. He stepped on his trigger and shot himself in the career. He lost sponsors, shows, was attacked by the NRA and other gun activists. His self-inflicted tongue wound on the black guns put him on the black list in this industry for a spell.
But the old ink-stained cowboy in the black hat fought his way back. I remember Vicki Gardner of Alpen Optics joining Zumbo for a hunt with two Iraq War veterans. Ted Nugent took him hunting with an AR-15, and soon, Zumbo admitted his mistake.
A Canadian guy at my table, John Evers of a Canadian gun forum, Gunnutz.com, winced when he heard Zumbo's name, but I didn't. I didn't pile on the boss tom the way other jakes did when he was flopping on the ground back in 2007. My reasoning was that the same people who scream about the Second Amendment got on this guy for using the First Amendment. Sure he was wrong, but people make mistakes, man, get over it. He recanted and told me last night on his way to the bar, "I'm still shaking . . . I need a whiskey."
NSSF President and CEO Steve Sanetti told those at the Industry Dinner that, "We have weathered the storm." He mentioned that last year's SHOT Show came just after the Newtown Massacre and President Obama's theatrics afterward when he rattled off a long list of gun control measures he planned to enact, but magically like a Penn and Teller act, pretty much have disappeared. Ironically, NSSF headquarters is in Newtown.
Sanetti also told the crowd that, "We're not finished, not by a long shot." He warned that President Obama won't stop his push for more gun control, especially as a lame-duck president. But he said gun control measures and proposed laws are down and back to pre-Newtown Massacre levels.
Sanetti showed how gun ownership, shooting and hunting numbers are trending up, especially with women.
Facts are the facts about guns, and the facts show that gun ownership in America, and believe it or not, in California, is very popular. And the people who own guns in California and around the nation are flat-out using them on ranges, in open fields and in hunting.
How do we know this? The National Shooting Sports Foundation released a major new report Wednesday that show what target shooting means to California and the nation. NSSF is the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry. It's the first-ever survey done on target shooting after many, many have been done on the impacts of hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing.

The Passing of a Legend
I have loved and admired Robin Williams' work ever since I first watched him as the lovable hyperactive alien Mork from TV's Mork and Mindy (photo courtesy of Darsie, Wikimedia Commons). It seemed that even scripted material became improvisation when in the hands of The Master Improv Artist Extraordinaire! I can only imagine what it must have been like to work with an actor possessing so much energy, skill, inventiveness and intelligence, trying so hard to keep up with his rapid-fire delivery and almost manic vivacity, while at the same time struggling mightily not to completely dissolve into helpless laughter.
And then he went and showed us his serious side - his ability to pull emotions from us, his viewers, that we did not even know we had. I remember seeing him for the first time in a dramatic role, how amazed I was to see the depth of his acting, wondering how this could even be the same person.
Through all of his personal problems, his struggles with addictions and depression, he continued to entertain us, sharing his incredible genius with the world right up to the end. I am greatly saddened by Robin Williams' death, but oh so thankful that we, however briefly, had this bright supernova talent among us.
Denver Public Library has many of his movie and voice works, including the first season of Mork and Mindy.

He was an amazing actor. Hilarous in movies. Made a ton of movies i love!! i will always remember him! R.I.P Robin Williams. R.I.P.
Thanks for posting, Shelly. My two all time favorites are Dead Poets Society and The Fisher King. Don't know when I'll be able to bring myself to view again, though. Such a loss of talent and humanity!
I loved his comedic films but he made a creepy little film called "One hour photo" in which he played a creepy photo store employee who becomes obsessed with a young family. In the outtakes it showed how before the director yelled "action" Robin was laughing and joking around. As soon as the cameras started rolling he jumped into character. Amazing actor. God rest his soul
If you EVER have a chance to watch Robin's interview with James Lipton on INSIDE THE ACTORS' STUDIO (or excerpts of it) do yourself a favor and take the time to enjoy one of the most mercurial comic geniuses of our time. It is just brilliant! His spontaneity and creativity really shine through in that episode.
YouTube, Hulu, Bravo TV and other cable stations are good options...although it is wicked hard to find a library copy anymore....
Thanks for the heads up - I will have to check that out!

Robin Williams was Magic! Always on, even in interviews. My favorite Movie and I love them all, was Birdcage! Playing the part of the husband to Albert (Nathan Lane). My favorite part for Robin was when he has to break the bad news to Albert he can't stay because the guest coming are ultra conservative future in-laws. And they are afraid Albert is too gay. So Albert leaves in a huff and tells him there bouseboy Hank Azazia can just cook dinner for the small dinner party, and Robin Williams looks at the houseboy, and ask, you can cook can't you? And the houseboy looks puzzled and looks at Robin Williams he tends to think so...
Now Robin Williams is in Heaven making God laugh with the help of Jonathan Winters his idol. You can just imagine the two together, just having a great time.
But, are world just got little more less funny...Very Sad!
I really enjoyed The Birdcage, too, but one of my favorite Robin Williams' movie is What Dreams May Come - I loved the beauty of the imagined settings and the story. How ironic that the movie deals with the very issues that plagued the actor, despair and suicide, but the love and determination of the characters manages to shine through...
In "Awakenings" the director Penny Marshall helped
him achieve such a subdued, quiet, powerful performance
of being the doctor Oliver Sachs. It is my favorite of his
roles, as he had to act opposite Robert De Niro as the man who was "awakened" after years of post-meningitis
syndrome. He was concerned he would be "blown out of
the water" by De Niro's acting, but Marshall assured him
she wouldn't let that happen. And because of a wonderful script, directing, and a real-life caring Dr. Sachs, and Robin Williams - I feel it is he who does the
incredible acting job.
I think so, too! I am a big big fan of Oliver Sachs' books, including the book the movie is based on - check out Denver Public Library's catalog for the many titles available for download or checkout.

Patriot League Notebook
Home Sweet Home
Patriot League teams have begun to play their home openers this week, and they have enjoyed the friendly confines with a 5-1 start at home. Lehigh began the home schedule with a 92-78 win over Rider on Tuesday, with Lafayette falling 90-81 to Robert Morris that evening. All three Patriot League teams at home won on Wednesday, with Holy Cross' 122-118 double overtime thriller against Sacred Heart, Boston University topping UMass Lowell 91-65 and Navy beating Goucher 98-47. American pulled off a dramatic 63-61 overtime win against UMBC in its home opener Thursdsay, giving Head Coach Mike Brennan his first win. The home openers continue on Friday with Army welcoming NJIT and Saturday when Bucknell hosts St. Francis (Pa.) and Loyola Maryland welcomes Fairfield. All home games, both in non-League and Patriot League play, will be streamed live for free on Patriot League Network with the exception of the games scheduled for CBS Sports Network.
Bucknell Beats Penn State for First Time Since 1976
The 2013-14 Bucknell team has already accomplished something that its League champion predecessor did not: winning at Penn State. The Bison beat Penn State for the first time since 1976 by holding a 54-39 edge in the second half of a 90-80 win on Wednesday. They had lost 12 straight overall to the Nittany Lions. Head Coach Dave Paulsen won his 100th game at Bucknell, doing so in his 166th game at the school. He became the second-fastest coach to reach 100 wins at a Patriot League school, just one game behind Lehigh's Brett Reed last season. The victory marked the third straight season for a Patriot League team beating a Big Ten opponent, and second year in a row for Bucknell after a win at Purdue last season.
Loyola Maryland, Boston University Off to 2-0 Starts
Welcome to the Patriot League, Boston University and Loyola Maryland. Both teams have started the season at 2-0, with the Terriers doing so for the first time since 2001 and the Greyhounds hitting the mark for the first time since 2005. Boston University won its home opener 91-65 against UMass Lowell on Wednesday after beating Northeastern on Sunday, while Loyola Maryland won over the weekend at Binghamton and Cornell. Both teams have challenges ahead to get to 3-0 this weekend as Loyola hosts Fairfield on Saturday (PLN, MASN, SNY) and Boston University is at No. 19/20 Connecticut on Sunday (ESPNU
Ranked Foes on the Slate This Weekend
There were plenty of challenging road contests on the opening weekend, but none came against ranked opponents. That will change for the upcoming weekend as three Patriot League teams visit top 25 foes. It starts on Friday when Holy Cross goes to No. 11/12 North Carolina at 8 p.m. on ESPNU. The next day Colgate makes the trip to No. 7/9 Syracuse at 4:30 p.m., while on Sunday Boston University plays at No. 19/20 Connecticut at Noon on ESPNU. Lehigh also has a pair of road trips as it goes to Fordham on Friday (SNY, A10 Network) and Houston on Sunday afternoon (ESPN3).
Record-Setting Opening Week in the Patriot League
It's less than one week into the season, and a handful of Patriot League records that had held since the 1990s have already gone down. Holy Cross broke two of them on Wednesday, scoring the most points (122) and making the most free throws (45) in a single-game in League history. The Crusaders had held the single-game points mark at 116 since 1992, while the previous free throw mark of 41 had been set in 1992 and 1994. Holy Cross and Sacred Heart also had the most combined points in League history at 240, surpassing a 110-108 win for Bucknell over Colgate in 1994. Army also got in on the action, setting a League record with 44 three-point attempts in it season opener against Air Force on Friday to break the previous standard of 42 set back in 1998.
The Next Patriot League Star?
With four-year stars CJ McCollum and Mike Muscala departed, there is an opening for the next star player to emerge in the Patriot League. A few have thrown their name into the ring this season. Loyola's Dylon Cormier averaged 32.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.0 steals in two wins for the Greyhounds last week, taking home the first Patriot League Anaconda Player o the Week award of the season. He has some competition this week, as Holy Cross' Dave Dudzinski totaled 26 points and 15 rebounds in a win over Sacred Heart, Bucknell's Steven Kaspar had 25 points in the win at Penn State and BU's Maurice Watson continued his fast start with 18 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in the win over UMass Lowell. American's Darius Gardner has made quite an impact in his first two games with the Eagles as well, averaging 18.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.5 steals after putting up 22 points, nine rebounds, six steals and four assists in a win over UMBC on Thursday.
Lehigh Getting Contributions From its Youth
In addition to replacing McCollum, Lehigh entered the year having to make up for the loss of All-Leaguers Holden Greiner and Gabe Knutson, too. The Mountain Hawks looked like they would be just fine on Tuesday as a host of new players contributed to a win over Rider. Austin Price led Lehigh with 21 points, and has 36 in his first two collegiate games. Jesse Chuku had 18 points and Tim Kempton scored 16 in their second game with the Mountain Hawks, and Chuku is third in the League with 9.0 rebounds per contest. The holdover looks good too, as Mackey McKnight had his first career double-double with 14 points and 10 assists and did not commit any turnovers.
400-Assist Men
Two players from the preseason All-Patriot League Team are on track to finish with numbers among the League all-time leaders in assists. Though his first three years will not count towards the League record book, Boston University senior DJ Irving is up to 402 career assists, reaching a mark that only 11 players in League history have achieved. McKnight is the next to get there at Lehigh as the senior reached the 398-assists mark with his 10 dimes on Tuesday.
Working Overtime
Three games have gone to overtime in the opening week, and the Patriot League has emerged with a victory each time. After Loyola Maryland beat Cornell 93-89 on Sunday, Holy Cross outlasted Sacred Heart 122-118 on Wednesday and American hit last-second shots in regulation and overtime for a 63-61 win over UMBC on Thursday. In six of the 10 victories this season, the Patriot League team has come back from a second-half deficit.
15 Patriot League Contests to Be Shown On CBS Sports Network
The Patriot League Men's Basketball Championship will be televised on CBS Sports Network for the third year in a row on Wednesday, March 12 at 7:30 p.m., while CBSSN will also air both semifinal games of the Patriot League Men's Basketball Tournament on Saturday, March 8 at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. The postseason contests are part of a 15-game schedule of Patriot League men's basketball on CBS Sports Network in 2014.

Sinusitis simply refers to over secretion mucus by the membrane that lines the throat and the nose and inflammation of the sinus passage. If you have ever suffered form sinusitis, then you must have been a victim of infections like common cold or influenza.
Medically speaking, sinusitis is not a life threatening condition.
The best home remedies for sinusitis include the use of pungent foods or spices on regular basis till you feel relieved. While this may sound as gross to some or unbearable, they really work well. Garlic and onions in ones daily diet can go a long way to curing sinusitis. If you can eat them raw, than that would be a plus for you. They are rich in antibacterial properties that can heal sinusitis really first.
If your sinusitis is accompanied by headaches, try to use fenugreek tea. The tea can be easily prepared using fenugreek seeds by boiling the seeds in water and allowing the tea to cool. Consume the tea once it has cooled and you will feel some relief shortly after consuming the tea. It is one of the best home remedies for sinusitis as it causes the body to perspire thus reducing fever bouts and expelling toxins. For best results when using fenugreek tea, consume at least four cups of the tea daily.
Diet too plays a major role when it comes to home remedies for sinusitis. A diet it that is rich in vitamin A and C should be consumed for quick relief. Vitamin A acts as a natural membrane conditioner which comes in really handy when building strong mucus membranes for the nose and throat. Foods that are rich in vitamin are milk. Carrots, tomatoes, leafy veggies and egg york. If you cannot put up with all these or just any of them in your diet, then just make sure that your diet is a low calories, raw fruit and vegetable rich diet taken a long with plenty of water. You can also eat lots of mangoes since they are rich in vitamin A. Apart from forming a healthy epithelium, vitamin A consumption will also help you to reduce and prevent sinus attacks and other common infections associated with it.
Fresh grated lotus roots, mixed with unbleached white flour and garlic should also be on your list of effective home remedies for sinusitis. Apply the mixture directly on your skin and leave it for several hours during the day and overnight. Do this for a week or two till you feel relieved. This method is effective as it disperses stagnated mucus and keeps it moving. As a result, you will notice watery discharge from your nose or eyes. Then remember to consult your doctor or physician if your condition fails to respond to any of these home remedies for sinusitis.

Oh Yes ….We can add enhanced creativity to our benefits page on the menu!! You nailed it when you spoke about stress interferring with creativity and as you mentioned you tend to write in the morning before the day gets hectic and you are more relaxed. When you feel stuck…. what we need most is to walk away from a project in order to move it forward. So do something totally different from what you are focused on….the answers will most definetely come while you are having a spa treatment, skiing down the hill, go for a run or baking a pie with your children!
Do you think that spas are good places to help spark people's creativity?
- Published: Monday, September 17th 2012

Am sharing with you this Weekender that was sent out a while back. It is about the book, Imagine, that seemed a perfect fit with our focus on Innovation through Imagination. Indeed it was. Sadly however, the author, Jonah Lehrer, was discovered to have been guilty of plagiarism and attributing quotations inappropriately. He ended up resigning from his position at the New Yorker and then subsequently was terminated at Wired.com. I had even met him at the Aspen Ideas fest having attended his talk on the subject of creativity.
I did learn one very valuable thing from his book that has been of great personal help to me: Stress is a real impediment to creativity. (Fortunately the finding was corroborated by others.) As a result, I have made more of an effort to incorporate relaxation into my days, especially when I need to be creative. It is also why I do my most creative work (including attempts at writing) in the morning when I am more relaxed.
Alas, perhaps Jonah is now a candidate for some relaxation exercises as my guess is that his life is likely infused with some pretty high stress levels.
Enjoy these thoughts on Imagine.
Back in April, Imagine – How Creativity Works – a book about imagination hit #1 on the NY Times Best Seller list. A surprise to you?
Praised by most for his writing and interesting examples that capture the reader's attention, there has also been criticism regarding "elementary errors" and "Lehrer's failure to grasp some fundamental principles of scientific thinking," as noted by the NY Times critic, Christopher Chabris in last Sunday's book review.
Nevertheless, Imagine – How Creativity Works is currently the book promoting discussion on imagination and, in our opinion, worth the read. It is also an encouragement for those who question their creativity. And of interest… one of his major points, "Relaxation often sparks creativity."
From the Kirkus Reviews, "Think you're not creative? Think again. The take-home message from this multifaceted inquiry is that creativity is hard-wired in the human brain and that we can enhance that quality in ourselves and in our society."
For those interested in imagination – and especially those attending the upcoming Global Spa and Wellness Summit, where the agenda is now uniquely arranged around the theme of "Innovation" (day 1), "Imagination" (day 2) and "Industry Unleashed" (day 3) – this book might be a perfect one to peruse.
Description of the Book (from its jacket cover):
"Did you know that the most creative companies have centralized bathrooms? That brainstorming meetings are a terrible idea? That the color blue can help you double your creative output?
From the New York Times best-selling author of How We Decide comes a sparkling and revelatory look at the new science of creativity. Shattering the myth of muses, higher powers, even creative "types," Jonah Lehrer demonstrates that creativity is not a single gift possessed by the lucky few. It's a variety of distinct thought processes that we can all learn to use more effectively.
Lehrer reveals the importance of embracing the rut, thinking like a child, daydreaming productively, and adopting an outsider's perspective (travel helps). He unveils the optimal mix of old and new partners in any creative collaboration, and explains why criticism is essential to the process. Then he zooms out to show how we can make our neighborhoods more vibrant, our companies more productive, and our schools more effective."
A Question to Ponder:
We have embarked upon this journey of learning about innovation and imagination in order to facilitate exciting new ideas and help the spa and wellness industry move forward. Along the way, have we stumbled upon a revelation that might actually point us to some new opportunities in our businesses? After all, if relaxation sparks creativity, perhaps our spas can become known as incubators for imagination and innovation!
Do you think that spas are good places to help spark people's creativity?
Let us know.

Thanks Elaine…really appreciate your insight into the creativity benefit of spas, walking – or anything else relaxing. It was one of the most important insights I received from this year's Summit. Hope you are well.
Kathryn Stolle
By its very definition, creativity comes from within through the use of the imagination or original ideas. It can be sparked in many different ways – a walk in nature, listening to relaxing or inspiring music, meditation or a quieting of the mind, and more. These are all stress-relieving or stress-free activities that allow our minds to observe, reflect, explore and create. Most spas provide a space and time, similar to the above activites, that feeds this process, if even only for an hour or two – relieving stress and allowing a person to be more creative regardless of what he or she might be otherwise engaged in. So, absolutely, spas are perfect incubators for imagination and innovation!↓
Bella Tonic Salon and Spa
Yes, most definitely! Just simply being able to relax and rejuvenate your mind and body can tend to spark a persons creativity. Spa's that foster a relaxing environment can help people relax their minds which in turn allows new creative thoughts come in.↓

A few thousand dance music enthusiasts ferried out to New York's Governors Island this perfectly sunny Saturday to take in a special collection of house music sets courtesy of Pacha NY and Size Records. And at the finale of the eight-hour party, a familiar conclusion was reaffirmed – when Steve Angello comes to New York, he doesn't do it quietly.
Carl Louis & Martin Danielle, hometown hero Junior Sanchez, and rising star Thomas Gold took on opening duties for the sold-out crowd of close to 5,000 fans. The night's headliner, Swedish House Mafia's Angello, took the stage around 9PM and fired off over a blazing two-and-a-half hour set with full-on LED lighting and pyrotechnics. MTV News was given an exclusive look from the stage. Take a Look!
Angello got a tremendous rise early in his set with Swedish House Mafia's possible next single (which has a working title, but we aren't at liberty to reveal just yet).
As if catering to this humble journalist's current dance music fave list, Angello came at the crowd with Mark Night's mix of Florence and The Machine's "You've Got The Love," Avicii's "Fade Into Darkness," and R3hab and Swanky Tunes' banger "Sending My Love."
As is pretty clear in the video above, the crowd certainly gave back for the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Otherside" and went mental for dance music classic "Insomnia" by Faithless.
Special thanks go out to Eddie, Rob and Charlotte from Pacha NY, and Amy, Ben, and Justin from Team Angello for the hospitality.

It's an entire NYC city block in the meatpacking district, sitting on top of 2 main transcontinental fiber highways, more square footage than the empire state building, and they bought it in cash. Wowsers!
Today, we're pleased to announce that we've closed a deal with the partnership of Taconic Investment Partners, Jamestown Properties and the New York State Common Retirement Fund to purchase 111 Eighth Avenue (also known as 76 Ninth Avenue).
As part of the deal, we've retained Taconic Management Company to continue the leasing oversight services and management of the building on our behalf, providing the same level of customer service the building's tenants have come to expect. We believe that this is a great real estate investment in a thriving neighborhood and a fantastic city.

Well Farrah is very clear with the qualities she wants in a man writing, "I want a man who is happy, supportive, works hard, is successful, can stay in but can also go out, is active, outgoing, easygoing, likes children and dogs, can be serious, but knows when to have fun and is a romantic."
This teen mom has had some hard times in her young life, with Sophia's dad dying in a car accident before she was even born. Viewers have watched Farrah grieve the loss of Sophia's dad and try to move on with her life.

So this unappreciative, spoiled, bitch didn't have the will power or time to have her own baby down in florida with her, but she has time enough to try and someone to date? i think it's officially obvious what her #1 priority in her life is…trying to find a new guy, which she doesn't need right now at all!

@Someone..I keep thinking the exact same thing. She wanted NOTHING to do with Derek. Avoided phone calls, changed her number- and as soon as he passes away she flips her story. She is playing that card like no other for sympathy and to "excuse" her deplorable behavior towards her parents.
She is a spoiled, selfish brat who needs a rude awakening.

Stephen Kelly and Professor Sheikha Abdulla Al Misnad exchanging documents.
Doha: Qatar University (QU) and Occidental Petroleum of Qatar Ltd. (Oxy Qatar) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create a Chair to teach Supply Chain as part of its engineering programme.
The three-year agreement, signed at the university on 17th January, provides for Oxy Qatar to make a contribution to QU of $250,000 each year, which will go toward covering the salary and associated costs of the Chair position, which QU aims to fill by next month. Oxy Qatar will also be involved in selecting the new candidate and help draft the functions and duties of the Chair.
Additionally, they will advise on research and consulting topics and monitor the success of the programme alongside their QU counterparts.
The MoU was signed at the university's library auditorium by QU President Prof. Sheikha Abdulla Al Misnad and Oxy Qatar Ltd's President and General Manager Stephen Kelly. It brings to ten the number agreements QU's College of Engineering holds with external organisations.
"This generous contribution from OXY further develops our network of partnerships. The Chair position will be an invaluable resource in expanding our students' education and a welcome addition to our portfolio of research projects at QU," Professor Al Misnad said.
The university has committed to supporting the position for three years, providing staff and related services and benefits and liaising with Oxy Qatar on the progress of the programme.
"Oxy takes great pride in supporting the new Faculty Chair and Supply Chain Management Programme at QU. In addition to expanding academic and professional opportunities, we believe it will benefit our industry as a whole, through the learning and sharing of best practices. All of us at Oxy look forward to the outcomes of this exciting endeavor," Stephen Kelly said in his speech.

'Hurry Up' ready to school Dharry
Leon 'Hurry Up' Moore is ready and willing to accept any challenge that USA based Elton 'Coolie Bully' Dharry and is promising to school Dharry in the elementary aspects of boxing.
Responding to a recent challenge issued by the Dharry camp, the 32-year-old super bantamweight Moore promised to "overload" Dharry's circuit if he should have the gall to step into the ring.
"I have heard that Elton has issued a challenge to me. When I meet him in the ring he will see how out of place his challenge is. Dharry is nowhere near Leon Moore and I'll prove that by knocking him out in five rounds. I'll give him a round for each letter of his first name," Moore said.
Dharry has won his last nine fights and according to reports from the USA, is confident that he can brush aside the former CABOFE super bantamweight champion. "I'll say this, all Dharry has to do is make 122 and contact Seon Bristol. I'll fight him on top of the Cuffy Monument if it comes to that. If he is the real 'Coolie Bully' then let him try bullying Leon More. I'll put him to bed in five rounds," Moore added.
Moore has not fought since April 2011 but is scheduled to return to the ring in mid February when he battles Rafael Vazquez in the Dominican Republic. "We can do this April. It will only take five rounds," declared the hard-hitting Moore, who has won 28 of 30 fights.
"In this sport you don't talk like a bad man but rather you act like a bad man. I have said enough. The rest is up to him now."

In the Gaza Strip,
as in Israel, children are currently in the midst of summer vacation, and the Hamas
and Islamic Jihad's
"summer camps" are in full gear. In the past few weeks, the Palestinian groups have been holding camps throughout the strip, some of them proudly displaying rockets and other weaponry.
