Imagine you're circling a crowded parking lot. Just as you spot a space, another driver races ahead and takes it. In a world of road rage, domestic violence, and professionally angry TV and radio commentators, your likely response is anger, even fury. Now imagine that instead of another driver, a cow has lumbered into that parking space and settled down. Your anger dissolves into bemusement. What has changed? Not just the occupant of the space but your perspective on the situation.
We're a society swimming in anger, always about to snap. Using simple, understandable Buddhist principles, Scheff and Edmiston explain how to replace anger with happiness. They introduce the four most common types of anger (Important and Reasonable, Reasonable but Unimportant, Irrational, and Impossible), then show how to identify our real unmet demands, dissolve our anger, and change what happens when our buttons are pushed. We learn to laugh at ourselves, a powerful early step, and realize that others don't make us angry. Only we can make ourselves angry.

"Annoying reader"
Different reader.
Funnily enough, I got angry on the reader.
He puts an accent wherever he can and it really started to annoy me up to the point that I didn't feel like continuing to listen to this book, sorry to say so.
It might be personal. Also this is my second experience with an audio book. The first one was read by the author itself (Marianne Williamson) who is a great speaker. That book felt like being at Marianne's lecture while the book read by Bill was such a contrast to this, unfortunately a negative one...
"Mostly a compilation of others teachings."
No, unless they had zero knowledge and had no intent in further studying Zen Buddhism.
The most interesting was the authors approach to breaking down the fallacies behind the way we justify our anger and choose to be angry at certain situations.
The least interesting was the authors attempts at humor that I found to be first, not funny, and second somewhat disruptive to the flow of the book.
The narrator used corny accents while reading quotes in the book. It sounded almost comical. I imagine this was a sort of cue to the reader that he was reading a quotation. But it just came across as needless.
No. But that doesn't take away from my opinion of the book. It's not that type of book.
If you know anything about Zen Buddhism and the practice of realizing the nature of your anger through self-contemplation and clearing out your wrong perceptions and mental formations - then this book is going to be a rehash of other material you've already encountered. The best information in this book is information taken and quoted from Zen masters and other authors.
"Good, but drags on. Annoying narration"
Good content, but the points are made so repetitively the book gets boring. The narrator most annoyingly put on strange voices and accents when quoting Buddhist teachers, and often mispronounces their names.
"Great advise for those troubled by anger"
I recently admitted to myself that I have an anger problem and not liking how this made me feel I vowed to change. This audiobook gave me several insights into the source of my anger and how to deal with it properly. I have listened to this book a couple times now and find it very useful to go back to when I find myself getting angry. It's a great listen and I highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves struggling with anger.
"Simply Amazing"
There is a lot of anger out there - some of it justifiable but this book actually nails the problem by boiling it down to unmet needs. Common sense so it seems but after listening to it and thinking about `unmet needs` amazing things happen - what is really bothering you becomes obvious. And it isn`t that complicated but not obvious when you try to figure it out yourself. At least it wasn`t obvious for me. Definitely a great audible selection and plan to listen to it a couple of times. The anger Scheff discusses gave me a perspective on even the anger we see in society and politics at large. The clearer the unmet needs become, the more obvious the resolution so anger fades. That the author had his own anger issues makes his points even more convincing. A great book!
"Worthwhile but..."
My son and wife both questioned why I was reading this book. I'm easy going and not many things make me angry to the point where I consider it a problem.
I wanted a few exercises to deal with the few things that push my buttons and this book helped me. The reader became one of those things. He was so bad at dealing with the quotations I felt compelled to warn people. He affects accents and tones of voice that seem to have been learned by listening to poorly dubbed martial arts movies. I kept hoping to hear the word "grahshoppah".
"Narration is Fine"
The message of the book is excellent and useful and entirely realistic. But I'd like to make a note about the narration. He sounds fine. He reads slowly but it is easy to get used to his pace. He also does adopt different accents if he is playing a character in one of the many parables. However, most readers do this and his voices are no worse than anyone else's. Please don't let the negative reviews about the narration sway you from trying this book. The content has unexpectedly changed my life for the better.
Lover of ideas who feels no guilt at all about her pleasures.
I thought the book had great content, flow, pace - everything you could ask for. If, like me, you occasionally lose your cool and live to regret it, this should be a good book for you.
As for the narration, here's a trick I learned: If you have a player that allows it (iphone, newer ipods do) speed the narration up to 1.5. The book's still fine to understand, and the narrator-itis disappears completely. Try it!
(If you can't, you may wanna think twice, because that poor, sweet guy did try a little too hard and it is pretty annoying.)
forgotten realms fan
"Excellent book"
Fantastic book for people wanting an intro to Zen Buddhism. Narrator - the accents you use are awful :) why did you do that?
"Good lessons for anyone to learn."
When I first read the title of this book, images of angry people with bulging forehead veins came to mind, but really this book is for everyone. Anger and frustration are part of the human condition - to ignore it is wrong and to indulge it is wrong too - so what can we do? This book attempts to tell you.
Overall this book was pretty good but obvious - lacking philosophical depth. I liked the parables and quotes from Buddhist teachers, but I didn't find the author's own experiences very compelling. The chapter on how to handle angry people was, I thought, the weakest in this regard. e.g., see things from their perspective - don't jump to conclusions - try not to get angry back. Not bad messages but really - who doesn't know these things? I would have appreciated more Buddhist philosophy and less weekend-seminar style anger management.
The narrator talked slowly and sometimes his accents sounded funny but he was not terrible.
Overall not bad. Helpful to an extent - especially if you are prone to anger or frustration.
"Useful book - shame about the accent!"
Although I have practiced Buddhist meditation for many years I found some sections of the book very useful - if not particularly original.
Nothing particular comes to mind - I'm not sure that this kind of book is meant to have "memorable moments!" as such.
Again this question is not really relevant.
It made me reflect and, unintentionally, provided frequent irritations - or opportunities to observe my own reactions to the authors rather comical, fake Asian accents.

The Curwens, previously the Culwens, or De Culwens, are one of the oldest families in England. They were the Lords of the Manor of Workington on the west coast of Cumbria in Cumberland, England at the mouth of the River Derwent. Cumberland is on the border of Scotland, and the estate at Workington and the family figure prominently in the history of both countries.
At the time of the Norman conquest, Cumberland was under Scottish control and when William Rufus reclaimed it the ancient pre-Norman aristocracy survived largely intact. The Curwens are descended in the male line from Orme, son of Ketel, son of 'Elftred the Englishman' who must have been born in the middle of the eleventh century. The family owned extensive estates in west Cumberland and were related to the royal families of England and Scotland and the Earls of Northumberland and Galloway. Orme married Gunilda, a daughter of Cospatric, the last English Earl of Northumbria. Gostpatic was descended on his mothers side from Ethelred and Alfred the Great and the royal line of Wessex and he was also a nephew of the King Duncan who was slain by MacBeth.
At that time the distinction between Scots and English was slight and the family, like the Bruces and the Baliols, held lands in both countries and their names appear on both English and Scottish charters. Patric the son of Thomas adapted the surname Culwen which has remained the family name ever since.
The Curwen family motto, "Si je n'estoy" ("If I had not been there"), is said to come from the words of Sir Gilbert II de Culwen, whose late arrival with fresh troops recruited from his estates turned the course of the Battle of Falkirk during the Scottish Wars of Independence, giving King Edward the victory. It has been suggested that Gilbert waited until he knew who looked like winning before joining battle, because he had family supporting both sides in the conflict. It was at this battle that William Wallace was defeated and subsequently executed. It forms the storyline of the Hollywood film Braveheart.
During the Hundred Years' War with France, the Curwen family under Sir Gilbert fought alongside King Edward III of England in his attempt to seize the French throne after the death of Charles IV. He is believed to have died in 1403 from the black death, which also killed his first son, Sir William, who inherited his title.
At least one member of the Curwen family fought with Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The roll mentions a John Werkyngton, a very unusual spelling that matched with '...the manor of Werkyngton, co. Cumberland...' written in King Henry's Patent Rolls in 1405. John may have been a younger Curwen son, a cousin or a man of standing from the community. In 1428, Henry VI granted Sir Christopher II de Curwen the estates of Cany and Canyell in Normandy, France as a reward for "good service" but in 1429, he returned to northern England to fight an invasion by the Scots. In 1442, he oversaw the truce between Henry VI of England and King James II of Scotland. The lands in Normandy were lost to the French in 1450. Sir Christopher and his wife, Elizabeth Huddleston, are buried inside St Michael's Church, under a heavily carved tombstone bearing their effigies.
Sir Thomas IV Curwen married Agnes, daughter of Sir Walter Strickland and great-granddaughter of Anne Parr, and thus "The royal blood of the Plantagenets came to the Curwen house..." according to the book Papers and Pedigrees by William Jackson (1892).
During the Wars of the Roses, the Curwens provided support to both sides. Sir Thomas II was commissioned by King Edward to mobilize his forces to resist the rebellion of Richard, Duke of York. During the Wars the throne changed hands between the two houses and most able-bodied men, especially in the north of England, would have been forced into the conflict. King Edward IV of England of the House of York, later granted honours to the Curwen family, in acknowledgement of "great and gratuitous service". The war ended with the victory of the Lancastrians who founded the House of Tudor, which subsequently reigned over England and Wales for 118 years.
After the defeat of her forces to Elizabeth I of England at the Battle of Langside, Mary, Queen of Scots, crossed the Solway Firth disguised as a commoner and landed at Workington. She spent her first night in England as an honoured guest of the Curwen family at Workington Hall. On 18 May 1568, Mary was escorted to Carlisle Castle after spending a day at Cockermouth. She was 25 years old.
Reverend John Curwen (1816–1880), an English Congregationalist minister, founded the Tonic sol-fa system of music education, a method of musical nomenclature that utilizes the first letter of each of the solmization tones (do, re, me, fa, sol, la, ti), and a rhythmic system to aid in sight reading of the stave with its lines and spaces. Hen felt the need for a simple way of teaching how to sing by note through his experiences among Sunday school teachers. Stemming from his religious and social beliefs, Curwen thought that music should be easily accessible to all classes and ages of people. Two examples of the system at work can be seen in the musical, The Sound of Music and in the hand gestures used by Truffaut in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

text: True Romance (Blu-ray) Studio: Warner (Morgan Creek) Rated: Unrated (original release: R) Film Length: 121 minutes Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 HD Encoding: 1080p HD Codec: VC-1 Audio: English Dolby True HD 5.1; English DD 5.1; French DD 5.1 Subtitles: English SDH; Spanish; French MSRP: $28.99 Disc Format: 1 50GB Package: Keepcase Theatrical Release Date: Sept. 10, 1993 Blu-ray Release Date: May 26, 2009 Introduction: I thought all film fans already knew True Romance, but when my friend and colleague, Adam Gregorich, sent me the review disc, he mentioned that he'd never heard of it - and Adam is no amateur. Maybe the film is still only a "cult" classic. I know some of you know it well (at least one HTF member has an image from it in his signature), but for those who know little or nothing, here's the deal: This is a great film and a great Blu-ray, and I'm going to try to intrigue you without giving away too many plot details, which are way more fun if you discover them for yourself. True Romance was released in September 1993, and it was ahead of its time. The script came from that pop culture junkie Quentin Tarantino, but this was before he was famous. With just one film to his credit (Reservoir Dogs), he'd had enough success to instill confidence, but not so much that he'd become weighted down by the burden of being a cinema icon, as happened in the latter half of the nineties. The script for True Romance displays all the verbal dexterity, allusive exuberance and casual indifference to conventional plotting that would so thrill audiences a year later in Pulp Fiction, but would vanish for almost ten years until Kill Bill. (I like Jackie Browne, but it's a low-key affair.) And who should latch onto this high-voltage material but Tony Scott, one of the slickest and most commercial directors in Hollywood. It's easy to forget, after all these years, that before Scott made his name with studio blockbusters like Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II, he debuted on the American scene with a high-concept art film about lesbian vampires called The Hunger. In True Romance you can almost hear Scott chuckling as he gleefully polishes every curlicue of eccentricity in Tarantino's pop-trash script. It didn't hurt that Tarantino's ornately profane dialogue attracted an acting ensemble of a calibre seldom rivaled before or since. The Feature: I had to come all the way from the highways and byways of Tallahassee, Florida to Motor City, Detroit to find my true love. If you gave me a million years to ponder, I would never have guessed that true romance and Detroit would ever go together. And to this day, the events that followed all seem like a distant dream. But the dream was real and was to change our lives forever. Alabama Clarence Worley (Christian Slater, still in his heartthrob phase) and Alabama Whitman (Patricia Arquette, never lovelier or more alluring) are a young couple who meet in wintry Detroit and instantly fall in love. They're not Bonnie and Clyde, nor are they Kit and Holly from Badlands. But they remind you of both, and of every other doomed outlaw couple that has ever wandered the American landscape. In Jailhouse Rock he was everything rockabilly's about. I mean, he IS rockabilly. Mean, surly, nasty, rude. In that movie he couldn't give a fuck about nothing except rockin' and rollin', living fast, dying young and leaving a good-looking corpse. Clarence Appropriately for a movie scripted by Tarantino, the young lovers first meet in a movie theater showing a triple feature starring martial arts legend Sonny Chiba. Their courtship continues at a comic book store. It would spoil the fun to reveal any more, but let's just say that the relationship is both complicated and magnificently simple in its intensity. And despite outward appearances, Clarence is not an ordinary man. For one thing, he has an unseen "Mentor", who looks and sounds just like Elvis (Val Kilmer, in a sly impersonation) and can be counted on for sage advice in the most difficult circumstances. Have a seat, boy. Grab yourself a eggroll. They got everything here from a diddled-eyed joe to damned if I know. Drexl But before their love can fully take flight, Clarence and Alabama have to deal with Drexl, a vicious small-time hoodlum played by Gary Oldman in perhaps the most eccentric performance of a career studded with eccentric performances. (Blink and you'll miss Samuel L. Jackson as one of Drexl's associates; the voice gives him away.) Without their intending it, the encounter with Drexl leaves Clarence and Alabama in possession of a suitcase full of cocaine, and they hightail it out of town. Before leaving, though, they stop to say goodbye to Clarence's father (Dennis Hopper), a former cop now working as a security guard. Mr. Worley checks with his old police contacts and says that the young couple appears to be in the clear. Naturally, they don't mention the suitcase. I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you. Vincent Coccotti Entire suitcases of cocaine can't go missing without someone noticing. Drexl's superiors are hard upon Clarence's and Alabama's trail, and they arrive at Mr. Worley's door in the person of Vincent Coccotti (Christopher Walken) and a team of thugs, including Virgil (a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini). The face-off between Walken and Hopper as Coccotti and Worley is a legendary scene: nerve-wracking, cringe-inducing, funny and ultimately horrifying. It's like one of those great Hitchcock scenes that retains its punch even after multiple viewings. It's worth the price of admission all by itself. We now return to Bullitt already in progress. Clarence Unaware that they're being pursued, Clarence and Alabama arrive in Los Angeles, where Clarence meets up with his childhood friend, Dick Ritchie (Michael Rapaport), who is trying to make it as an actor and is currently up for a bit part on the series T.J. Hooker (his tryout is hilarious). Dick lives with a stoner roommate named Floyd (Brad Pitt, showing how the right actor can make a small role a memorable scene-stealer). Clarence presses Dick to put him in touch with someone in Hollywood to whom he can sell the entire suitcase of coke for one big score, after which he and Alabama can leave for Mexico. With great reluctance, Dick introduces Clarence to Elliot Blitzer (Bronson Pinchot), a member of Dick's acting class. Elliot's day job is as an assistant to a big-time producer, Lee Donowitz (Saul Rubinek), who is the kind of player that can afford and might want a suitcase full of premium coke at a discount price. (The character of Donowitz is said to have been based on producer Joel Silver.) Now the first time you kill somebody, that's the hardest. I don't give a shit if you're fuckin' Wyatt Earp or Jack the Ripper. Remember that guy in Texas? The guy up in that fuckin' tower that killed all them people? I'll bet you green money that first little black dot he took a bead on, that was the bitch of the bunch. Virgil Just as Clarence seems to have everything lined up, trouble comes calling. One of Coccotti's thugs, Virgil (Gandolfini), catches up with Alabama at the motel where she and Clarence are staying.The scene that follows is one of the most brutal in the film (and one of the principal scenes that had to be trimmed to get the film an R rating). Upping the ante, two local cops (Tom Sizemore and the late Chris Penn) learn of the impending drug deal and pressure Elliot into becoming their informant. They send him wired into the hotel suite where the buy is to take place and wait in a nearby room with a squad of cops. The producer, Lee Donowitz, has his own heavily armed security team, and as if that weren't enough artillery, the rest of Coccotti's thugs arrive on the scene after a memorable conversation with Floyd the stoner and burst into the suite just after the cops do. The result is the most dramatic Mexican standoff since The Good, the Bad and The Ugly. If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it. Clarence The ensuing mayhem is by turns comical, horrific and edge-of-your-seat suspenseful. It also leads to the film's conclusion, over which Tarantino and Scott fought, in a friendly way that is more fully explored in the special features. And, like the rest of True Romance, the ending is utterly over the top and unbelievable, because the film never pretends to be realistic. It exists in an alternate fairy tale universe that feels familiar because it is constructed out of the great collective unconscious of pop culture junk food: of kung fu movies and comic books, western movies and gangster films, rebels without causes and whores with hearts of gold, Elvis the King and rockers striking a pose. We all know this world, and at one time or another, we've all felt its seductive pull. True Romance invites us to live there for two hours with a pair of the hottest young lovers around. I like you, Clarence. Always have. Always will. The Mentor And what tour guides we have. Only a screenwriter of Tarantino's originality and brashness would stop the action during a deadly encounter between a lead character and a hitman to let the hitman (the hitman!) deliver a long speech about what it's like to accustom oneself to murdering people (an excerpt is quoted above). Only a director of Scott's confidence and skill would not only keep the speech, but also use it to build even more tension into the scene. And only an actor of Gandolfini's quality (and remember: he was virtually unknown then) would seize the opportunity to wrap his tongue with such delight around every syllable of this choice dialogue, giving it that special mixture of brutality and raw charm that he would perfect, some years later, in the character of Tony Soprano. That's only one scene. There are many others. . . . you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool . . . Alabama Video: Like the laserdisc and the previous DVDs, the Blu-ray contains the unrated director's cut. Is it demo material? That depends on your definition. Unlike such recent Tony Scott extravaganzas as Man on Fire, True Romance wasn't filmed with saturated colors that pop off the screen and make people drool over HT equipment. The visual scheme is subtler and more clever. For the first hour of the film set in Detroit, the color scheme is grayish and muted; the air is often hazy, whether with cigarettes indoors or with steam or smoke belching from chimneys and grates outdoors. As soon as Clarence and Alabama head west, the image brightens considerably, but even then it always retains a degree of filtered softness and haze. How could it be otherwise when the road that these two lovers are traveling is as much a dreamscape as a landscape? Right until the end, Clarence is getting advice from his imaginary mentor, Elvis, whose face we never see except deeply out of focus. For True Romance, Scott and cinematographer Jeffrey Kimball created the visual equivalent of the private inner world that Clarence and Alabama share and that briefly envelops everyone they encounter, for good or ill (mostly the latter, since true romance is a powerful, destructive force). Nothing ever looks quite real, but if you pay attention to almost any frame in which Alabama appears, she will usually be the most vivid thing in it. So what does this mean for the video image? When the film starts, you may be tempted to say, "Meh!", because the image doesn't leap off the screen and shout, "Look at me!" But as the film progresses, you should start noticing the wealth of tiny details: Alabama's jewelry, the individual links in the chain around Clarence's neck, the elaborate make-up that transformed Gary Oldman into Drexl. Then there's the rock-solid steadiness of the image during the rapidly edited eruptions of violence - scenes that hold up better on this Blu-ray than any other video version to date, because it conveys enough visual information for the cuts to make as much narrative sense as they did when I saw the film projected theatrically. I've seen every video version of this film since laserdisc, and, to paraphrase Walken's Don Vincenzo, if you know them like you know your own face, you can't be fooled: This is a great transfer. Audio: True Romance was released in Dolby Stereo, and thankfully the 5.1 presentation created for DVD didn't mess with the original mix. It remains front-centered, and the surrounds are used primarily to open up the sound, particularly the music score with its eclectic selection of pop songs and Hans Zimmer's Latin-inflected score. The Dolby TrueHD on this Blu-ray does well by the score, which sounds richer and fuller than any version I've heard so far. This is particularly important during the climactic shootout, when the mournful tones of Zimmer's score need equal weight with the thunder of gunfire. It's a carefully balanced mix, and the TrueHD maintains the balance beautifully. Special Features: All of the special features come from the 2002 two-disc special edition DVD, which was apparently not reviewed at HTF. Some features from that special edition have been omitted; the omissions are listed below. There are no new features, and none of the features have been given any special Blu-ray treatment. The disc has not been encoded for BD Java. To expedite the posting of this review, I have not spent the additional time to go back and listen anew to the three feature-length commentaries. But each of them is worth a listen. Commentary by Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Commentary by director Tony Scott. Commentary by screenwriter Quentin Tarantino. Selective scene commentary by Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt and Michael Rapaport: These are short commentaries, from app. five to thirty minutes each, set against individual scenes featuring each of these actors. It's a format that I wish other DVD producers would try. Because each commentator has a relatively short time, he brings out his best stories immediately and doesn't save anything for later. Kilmer is quite funny talking about how he ended up as such a spectral presence in the film (in full Elvis make-up, he says, he looked like a transvestite), and Pitt talks about being considered for the lead but saying he just didn't "get" the story. He was intrigued enough by working with Tony Scott to talk the small role of Floyd (for reasons that can't be explained without spoilers), which, thanks to Pitt's interpretation, has become iconic. (Floyd's honey bear bong is now sold in head shops.) Alternate ending with optional commentary by Tony Scott and Quentin Tarantino. Let's proceed here with caution. Tarantino wrote one ending, but Scott decided that it didn't fit with the film as he was making it and asked for a different one. He assured Tarantino the change wasn't for crass commercial reasons but because the story demanded it, and the two agreed that Scott would shoot both endings. Today, even Tarantino agrees that Scott's ending is the right one for the film that Scott made. Though Tarantino would have made the whole film differently, he likes Scott's version. Above all, do not watch this until you've seen the film. You have been warned. Deleted/extended scenes with optional director commentary (29:02). There are eleven in all, many of which are extensions of existing scenes. Video quality varies, and although the scenes have been formatted to fill the width of the HDTV screen, the resolution appears to be no better than standard definition. By and large, a comparison of these scenes to the finished film demonstrates the virtues of crisp editing. Original 1993 featurette (5:35) (SD). Standard promotional stuff, but worth it just to note who's featured and who isn't. Today, Tarantino would be front and center talking a blue streak. In 1993 no one thought to put him on camera. But Scott does say that it was the quality of the script that allowed him to assemble such an amazing cast, and Walken comments that the scene he's just finished is "Elizabethan in its complexity" (which it is). Behind-the-scenes interactive featurette (5:33, main feature; app. 18:00, supps.) (SD) (spoilers galore!). This is a making-of, with some of the footage marked for branching when a heart symbol appears on screen. It had the same arrangement on the DVD. It contains much on-set footage, some of it quite interesting, but only if you know the scenes being filmed. Theatrical trailer. Like the deleted scenes, it's presented across the entire screen, but the resolution is standard definition. It's a great trailer. It's the one that made me want to see the film when it was first released, but apparently not many others felt the same way. What's missing: Although the disc jacket lists an "animated photo gallery", I couldn't find it anywhere on the Blu-ray. That feature does appear on disc 2 of the 2002 DVD special edition; it's a series of publicity and on-set stills that play as a slide show. Also included on the 2002 DVD but omitted from the Blu-ray: two TV spots; cast and crew bios; trailers for other Morgan Creek titles; and (via DVD-ROM) screenplay with storyboards and production notes. To me, the truly significant omission is the director's storyboard track that displayed Scott's hand-drawn storyboards accompanying the film; this was set up as a subtitle track and should not have required substantial additional space on the Blu-ray. Its omission is puzzling. Final Thoughts: The vibrant landscape of pop detritus that Clarence and Alabama inhabit was one that Tarantino would shortly make even more mythic in Pulp Fiction, for it is much the same world inhabited by Vincent and Jules, Marcellus Wallace and Winston Wolfe. But in True Romance, that world is seen through the eyes of a true romantic. One doesn't usually think of Tony Scott in such terms; his customary image is that of a macho man who makes loud films with big hardware, and True Romance has its share. But this unusual collaboration produced a truly unique film of both raw thrills and surprising emotional depth -- and now it's been given its best video presentation ever.

JERUSALEM (May. 3)
Labor Party chairman Shimon Peres has indicated a sharp differentiation between the policies he would pursue if elected the next Prime Minister of Israel and those followed by the Likud government.
Meeting with the 20-member International Executive of the World Jewish Congress under the chairmanship of WJC president Edgar Bronfman here yesterday, Peres said he would not insist that the Camp David agreements be the only basis for negotiations between Israel and Jordan; he would almost immediately cut in half Jewish settlement activities in heavily Arab-populated areas of the West Bank; and would immediately end the confrontation in Lebanon by pulling Israeli forces back to a flexible line on Israel's northern border.
Peres appeared before the WJC leaders during their corrent meeting in Jerusalem to consider policies on the Middle East, Soviet Jewry and the rise of global anti-Semitism.
Bronfman met privately today with Premier Yitzhak Shamir. Other key government officials, including Defense Minister Moshe Arens, and leaders of key coalition and opposition parties will also be meeting with the WJC Executive over the next few days.
Peres said a Labor-led government would act within 100 days of taking office to halve Jewish settlement activity, while maintaining a security zone in the West Bank. He said that as a means of inducing King Hussein of Jordan to enter the peace process, he would offer three options.
The negotiations could begin without prior conditions by either side; Labor would not insist on the Camp David formula but would be willing to negotiate on the basis of United Nations Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 — which Jordan has accepted; or Israel would be willing to accept President Reagan's September 1, 1982 Middle East peace initiative as the basis for negotiations, while recognizing the different interpretations placed on those proposals.
Peres added that he would not mind if Palestinians were part of a Jordanian delegation as long as they were willing to recognize Israel and rejected terrorist methods.
With respect to Lebanon, Peres said "it is not wise to keep our army abroad where they sit as a target for hostile forces." He said he would withdraw to a flexible line along Israel's border rather than trenches and emplacements inside Lebanon.
The Labor Party leader also proposed that Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan conclude a "Red Sea Pact" which would guarantee free and open navigation through the waterway and provide for the "thinning out" of all military installations along the Red Sea.
Summing up, Peres said that if a Labor government is elected on July 23, it would change current Israeli policies on the West Bank and Gaza by limiting its interest to matters of security and foreign affairs in those regions. He disagreed with the present policy of separation of civilian and military administrations on the West Bank. Israel, he said, seeks to be a "contributing country", not a "confronting country."

Crosstown Rebels invade Miami for the third year running and dare you to GET LOST again in the afterhours mayhem of downtown's finest club, Studio A.
Damian Lazarus returns with his talented Rebel crew which includes another world-class live set from the cream of the underground - Pier Bucci and the first ever live set from Jamie Jones plus Clive Henry and Rebel new recruit, Seth Troxler on the decks. Prepare yourself for some raw, underground party madness.
Crosstown Rebels presents Get Lost, the party with the same name as their twisted and much loved compilation series, can announce that this year the session will extend it's boundaries to include residency's at Love in New York (March 8th) and at Avalon in LA (April 5th).
Damian Lazarus - label head of Crosstown Rebels and Worldwide renowned DJ has his unique brand of future electronic dance music. He has mixed and released the Rebel Futurism series/ the first Get Lost album/ Bugged Out's Suck My Deck/ Crosstown Rebels Volume One/ Time Out's Other Side of London/ Get Physical's Monza compilation album and all to the highest critical acclaim. This year he is working on Sci Fi Lo Fi 3. Lazarus has spent the last 14 months in the studio and his debut and much anticipated artist album is set to surface later in 2008. He continues to travel the world on a weekly basis setting fires to dancefloors along the way.
Jamie Jones had an incredible year in 2007, tipped as the main breakthrough producer and DJ of the year with releases on Freak'n'Chic, Get Physical, BPitch, Pokerflat to name a few. This will be his debut live performance exclusively for Crosstown Rebels taking in past releases and samples from his forthcoming album set to drop later this year. One to keep him on the tips of everyone's tongues for a long time to come.
Pier Bucci erupted into the techno in 2005 with his stunning debut album "Familia' and ended the year by winning Time Out New York's Best Single of 2006 with 'Hay Consuelo'. This year is set to bring his much anticipated follow up album and Bucci hits the Rebels party this March with his debut live set of his new amazing material.
Another UK artist who deserves lots of attention is Clive Henry, part of the infamous Peace Division who have notched up a series of spectacular releases across their decade producing together. Clive also has one of the most sought-after residencies in the World at DC10 where he continues to work the crowds into a sweat. A long-standing Rebel friend, last year saw his debut release on the label and the Rebels introduce him at the party as a fully-fledged member of the Rebel Agency.
Seth Troxler is the boy in Berlin who everyone wants a piece of. A young and fresh face who injects a load of energy into every party he attends and yet more into his wild and wonderful DJ sets, this could be the set of the conference! And we guarantee that this boy, who may or may not become a man, will be one of techno's shining stars.
Prepare to GET LOST!

NEW BRUNSWICK – American Repertory Ballet will premiere Artistic Director Douglas Martin's full-length Romeo and Juliet, with Prokofiev's score played live by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Kynan Johns, on Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. at the State Theatre in New Brunswick.
Based on Shakespeare's tragic story, Martin's version of the ballet features a company of 30 dancers, sets by scenic designer Kevin Lee Allen, and costumes designed by Michelle Ferranti. Scenic and costume design has been executed with careful attention to the aesthetic of what is now known as the early Renaissance era in Italy.
In her review of a spring 2012 preview performance, Marina Kennedy of Broadway World calls the production "an outstanding example of dance being perfectly adapted to dramatic interpretation, with the ARB dancers in full command of their art." The production's premiere at State Theatre is a special opportunity to see this dancing and drama enacted to live music.
"We are thrilled to premiere our full length production of Romeo and Juliet with a live orchestra," says Martin. "This extraordinary music and dance collaboration not only enhances the audience's experience of Prokofiev's extraordinary score, but also highlights the ephemeral interaction of dance and music. Dancers will be responding to and interpreting the music as the musicians play it, bonding the two art forms moment by moment in this dynamic performance."
NY-based dance critic Jerry Hochman of CriticalDance and Ballet-Dance Magazine characterizes Martin's masterwork as "an ambitious production…emotionally and artistically fulfilling…exuberant and exciting to watch…[and] invit[ing] comparisons to other well-known productions,…including…that of Sir Kenneth MacMillan."
"The duets between Juliet and Romeo – in particular, the critical balcony scene," Hochman continues, "are choreographed, and were executed, with the combination of rapture and conviction, that quality of being genuine, that is necessary to make the audience feel what the dancers feel, and to respond with the cathartic release that prompts appreciative, as opposed to obligatory, applause."
ARB will present excerpts from Martin's Romeo and Juliet balcony pas de deux on Oct. 8 at New York City Center as part of the Career Transitions for Dancers Annual Jubilee. Career Transition for Dancers is a nonprofit organization that enables dancers to define their career possibilities and develop the skills necessary to excel in a variety of disciplines.
"Dancers develop so many transferable and marketable skills during their careers, but sometimes they need assistance and direction to figure out what to do when they retire from performing. That's why an organization like Career Transition For Dancers is so important. We are proud to be performing at their gala again, as we did in 2011, to support such a worthy cause," says Executive Director Christine Chen.
Tickets for Romeo and Juliet at State Theatre on Oct. 11 at 8 pm are now on sale ($27-$57) through the State Theatre's box office: call 732-246-7469 or visit http://www.statetheatrenj.org/romeo_and_juliet.

I have type III or IV skin and had my first smartxide CO2 one month ago today. The first week of healing went smoothly, new layer came in pink and then it started to discolor significantly. But since i look in the mirror everyday I'm having trouble seeing if these marks are fading. Is it possible for these marks to get darker before fading? .There were 3 passes done between the brows and 2 passes on the right cheek. I do religiously use spf50 +. Is this PIH or just inflammation? Will this heal?

Grid marks after laser in dark skin
Thank you for your question about discoloration after CO2 laser.
- The photo suggests post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Causes include
- No skin preparation in advance, No skin cooling after laser pulse,
- Inadequate sun block (main ingredients must be zinc oxide/titanium dioxide)
- Sun tanning before/after treatment. PIH is hard to treat.
- NO sun and discuss with physician directing your treatment. Or see Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist for second opinion. Hope this helps
Like most (but not all) problems after cosmetic procedures, this will likely improve with time. I do agree that this sounds like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which may take months to fade but should significantly improve. Sun avoidance is paramount. Hydroquinone and steroid creams may hasten the process.

PIH following laser
It appears that you have post inframmatory hyperpigmentation which can be treated using a variety of agents including HQ,KA and a new product by SkinMedica called Lytera. Your physician may also prescribe a topical steroid cream. It generally takes about 8 to 10 weeks for this to resolve.

This is pseudohyperpigmentation most likely. This will take a while to go away but you can speed it up. There are ways to do this.

YES! PIH that needs treatment from your doctor who did the layering. Best to follow up more closely.

PASADENA, Calif. - Actress Helen George may look like the sexy Trixie she plays on PBS' "Call the Midwife," but that's where the resemblance ends.
George is far more serious and dedicated to her profession than her looks imply.
"It's a vocation - as we meet these midwives they choose a vocation as well, and I think it's your cross to bear. Acting is my midwifery, I suppose," she says.
"I say 'vocation' in the true sense of the word because it takes over your whole life. You live it. It's not a 9-to-5; you can't switch it off," she sighs. "And the things that surround a show like 'Call the Midwife,' like the press - and there are so many other things that come with just the acting as well, so many other things to stress about, I suppose."
George is here to talk about the second season of the British series, which premiered Sunday, and to try out for some American pilots. She admits she's scared to death to do that.
"I had my first audition over here yesterday and I was soooo nervous. I've done so many auditions in London and big musical auditions and big film auditions and TV, and here the fright of doing my first American audition was so much bigger. It was fine once I went in there, but it was so scary."
If that were not enough stress, her trip has forced a separation from her actor husband of three months, Oliver Boot. "I'm Mrs. Boot," she laughs, "I sound like a hit woman."
In spite of the miles between them, George says her husband is a constant in her life. "He understands what I do, he helps me so much," she says.
"He's like my own personal acting coach; he's so wonderful with me. At the same time I don't think we let acting define us. We have lots of friends who aren't in the business. We have a social life outside of acting."
She and Boot communicate over Skype with FaceTime and he will join her in a few weeks. They met when they co-starred in the British series "Hotel Babylon."
"I had that rule: Don't date actors, and certainly don't marry an actor. That was Rule No. 1, but you can't help who you fall in love with, I suppose. And when you're acting and your job is to fall in love with someone - and sometimes it happens. We met on a job and we were friends for a long time before we entered into a relationship, and actually it's a really wonderful, healthy relationship," says George.
Her calling essentially began when she was 5 and started taking dancing lessons. But by the time she was a teenager she realized her future did not fit in a tutu.
"I went to see 'Les Miz' when I was about 15 in the West End and I went home and I loved it so much. I didn't know how to sing at that point, and I started singing every song in the house by myself, everyone had gone out. And I suddenly thought, 'Oh, I can hit those notes. I can sing those songs.'"
So she auditioned for a performing arts boarding school. "And I had to do an acting piece for that, and I got in and did that. And through singing, I kind of found acting ... And now I think I'd find it hard to go back to musical theater because I love acting so much. I found my way, and then I'm here."
Her dad was a professor of politics and her mom a social worker, both now retired. When she displayed this proclivity for performing they didn't object, she says. "I struggled at school because I wasn't an academic, yet I came from an academic family so I think that was always a worry for my parents.
"They thought, 'Oh, God, she's a wild child what are we going to do with her? She needs a purpose.' I did find a purpose and passion because I think the hardest thing in life is not having a passion and people that float from job to job not really knowing what they want to do. But I found my passion."
She applies the same dedication to her domestic life as she does her work. "I love to clean my flat," she confides. "I can't think straight if I have a dirty home, and I won't get a cleaner. I have to do it myself. It cleanses my soul every time I clean. I'm an old-fashioned sort of a girl like that."
But when it comes to finances, it's a different matter. "I'm bad at math," she shrugs. "My husband calls me '27,000' because whenever there's a sum that needs to be done I always come up with some wild figure that bears no relevance, so I'm not to be trusted with money at all - or shopping," she laughs.
"I'm very good at spending money. I'm always hiding my new purchases under the bed and telling my husband I've had it for years. And I cut all the labels off. 'It was on sale.'"
'Call the Midwife'
Airs 8 p.m. Sundays on WHYY-TV 12

...but need help.
I have an amp that I inhertited, a DA3000ES and I need some bookshelf speakers to pair with it (on a budget)
I am looking at some on the reccomended list:
NHT Super Zero, Energy cb-10, PSB alpha 1, PSB Image B6, Boston Accoustic A25 and Mordaunt-Short Carnival 2. That amp produces 150w per channel, that means i could only get the PSB image b6? Even that is pushing it because that is their max power handling. I was leaning towards the Super zero to pair it with the super 8.
I have been out of the game for a while, so pardon my ignorance.
Thanks in advance.

"I have had a great relationship with Kawasaki over the years and rode for them as an amateur in New Zealand so I am excited to be back on Green and to renew that relationship again. Kawasaki Team CLS has a lot of experience with the likes of Harry Nolte and obviously the involvement with Mitch and Pro Circuit is a big part of it as well and was the key in making my decision. With Monster Energy being the title sponsor of the FIM MX World Championship it is also a huge incentive to do well and put Kawasaki and Monster up front. I always had the feeling that I had some unfinished business to take care of in the MX1 world championship and I am now looking forward to coming back to fight for the world title. I also have to say a big thanks to Troy Lee and his team for helping me get my career back on track. They helped me when I was at rock bottom and I will always be grateful to them."

Jonathan Larson
I am a RENThead, which in turn means that I have great respect for Jonathan Larson. So I was watching the documentary that was included on the second disc of the "RENT" DVD when there was a segment about a children's show which Jonathan Larson had created along with Bob Golden ("Sesame Street"). Who knew? The show was called "Away We Go!" and was originally meant to introduce children to New York City. Unfortunately, they never made it past the pilot episode, but they decided to release this one episode as a video in 1996.
"Away We Go!" is all about various forms of transportation from elevators and escalators to taxi cabs and ferries. The show is hosted by Newt the newt while he follows along with his friends Casey and Samantha as they try to get back home. Newt the newt is a puppet in denim overalls and a button with the popular "I (love) NY" phrase. There is no attempt to hide that his eyes are made from tennis balls or that sometimes he is not moving when he is supposed to be singing. Of course the kids don't notice, but for me that only adds to the show's charm.
After packing their suitcases, Casey and Samantha — along with Newt in Samantha's backpack — take the elevator down in the apartment building. On the way down, they pick up a couple of people who just happen to be Bob Golden and Jonathan Larson. I thought this was a great addition to the show. Traveling around New York City, Casey, Samantha, and Newt ride in a taxi, on a bus, and on a ferry all to get to the airport. Newt says goodbye to his friends as they board the airplane to go home.
"Away We Go!" is meant for children ages 2-8. My daughter, who is not yet two, has been watching this video for months. She loves Newt and likes to dance along to the songs. My three-year-old nephew also likes to watch this video with my daughter. With eight original songs and plenty of New York City facts, "Away We Go!" is sure to be a fun, educational hit with your family!
For more information about "Away We Go!", please visit Away-We-Go.net. You can preview the video and find more information about Jonathan Larson. You can also order the video there for $14.95 (plus shipping and handling).

Jerusalem (Jul. 8)
Premier Menachem Begin's probable appointment of Ariel Sharon as Defense Minister in a new Likud-led government was sharply challenged today by one of Begin's close aides who is also a contender for that post.
Reacting to press reports that Begin has made a final decision to offer the defense portfolio to the ultra-hawkish Yom Kippur War hero, Deputy Defense Minister Mordechai Zipori said he regarded himself to be first in line for the job "unless Begin would prefer to stay Defense Minister" himself. Sharon's appointment would be "a national disaster," Zipori was reported to have said in private. While he denied that he had made this statement he did not deny his opposition to Sharon's appointment.
Sharon, who is Minister of Agriculture in the outgoing government, has made it clear that he expects the defense post. According to some reports, he has threatened not to support the Likud coalition in the Knesset if it is denied him. Responding to that, Zipori is said to have reminded Begin that his Knesset vote carries as much weight as Sharon's.
Sharon, who opposed the Camp David agreements and the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty and demands unrestricted Jewish settlement in the occupied territories, is known to have been Begin's choice for Defense Minister when Ezer Weizman resigned last year. But strong opposition from other ministers forced Begin to take over the defense portfolio himself, retaining Zipori who had served as Weizman's deputy.
Although a new Likud government is expected to be dominated by hawks, in the absence of Weizman, Moshe Dayan and Yigael Yadin who were the strongest moderates in the previous government, there is still opposition to Sharon. It is most pronounced in Likud's Liberal Party branch and among some members of the National Religious Party which is expected to continue to be a Likud coalition partner.
Meanwhile, an official of the opposition Labor Alignment warned his party today that it stands to lose the unexpectedly large bloc of Arab support it won in the June 30 Knesset elections unless it can produce some gains for Israel's Arab citizens.
Ra'anan Cohen, who headed the Alignment's election campaign in the Arab sector, told Labor activists in the Negev that the election results showed a strong trend toward Labor among Arab voters at the expense of the Communist Hadash faction. Labor won about 30 percent of the Arab vote in Communist strongholds while Hadash's share dropped by 11 percent.
But Cohen warned that this trend is not unconditional. The Arab citizens expect much more to be done to integrate them as full members of Israel's society, he said. If Labor fails to accomplish this, the Arabs will revert to the Communists or other extremist factions, he said.

Goodman Theatre's BRIGADOON Extends Again Through August 17
By popular demand, Brigadoon extends its stay at Goodman Theatre for the second time; seven performances just added, running now through August 17.
The full 28-member company (below) remains intact. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick's Loewe's legendary musical of Broadway's Golden Age, under director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell, tells the enchanting tale of an 18th century Scottish village that appears every century for one day only -- and the complications that arise when it's discovered by two 20th century Americans. Book writer Brian Hill revisits the libretto for this production, while music director Roberta Duchak and an orchestra of 13 use new orchestrations to enhance Loewe's lilting score.
Brigadoon runs through August 17 in the Albert Theatre and is appropriate for adults and families with children aged 10+. Tickets ($25 - $105; subject to change, see below for discount opportunities) are on sale now at GoodmanTheatre.org/Brigadoon, by phone at 312.443.3800 or at the box office (170 North Dearborn).
Additional Performances:
Wednesday, August 13 at 7:30pm
Thursday, August 14 at 7:30pm
Friday, August 15 at 8pm
Saturday, August 16 at 2pm and 8pm
Sunday, August 17 at 2pm and 7:30pm
When Brigadoon debuted on Broadway in 1947, it was Lerner and Loewe's third musical -- and the one that established them as a formidable Broadway composing team. The plot, according to Lerner, occurred to him when Loewe offhandedly remarked that "faith moves mountains." When American tourists Tommy and Jeff become lost on vacation in Scotland, they stumble into a town that isn't on their map. Eventually they learn that Brigadoon was once a bustling town but now only appears for one day each century. While the two men sort out the town's curious circumstances -- including that no outsiders can stay unless they fall in love, and no resident can ever leave or the village will vanish forever -- Tommy meets the love of his life. But what happens when the day ends, and Brigadoon fades into the mountain mist for another century?
Goodman Theatre is world renowned for the quality and scope of its artistic programming and its commitment to improving life in the community. Artistic Director Robert Falls' and Executive Director Roche Schulfer's leadership has earned unparalleled artistic distinction and experienced unprecedented success, staging more than 80 world premieres, earning numerous awards for its productions -- including the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre (1992) and the Pulitzer Prize for Ruined (2009) -- and producing more than 25 new-work commissions. Founded in 1925 and housed in a state-of- the-art two-theater complex in the downtown Chicago Theatre District, the Goodman is Chicago's oldest and largest not-for- profit producing theater, named "Best Regional Theatre" by Time magazine and "top dog of the Chicago theater scene" by Frommer's. American Airlines is the Exclusive Airline of Goodman Theatre. Ruth Ann M. Gillis is Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Sherry John is President of the Women's Board and Lauren Blair is President of the Scenemakers Board, the Goodman's young professionals auxiliary group.

Lightning beat writer from the Tampa Tribune Erik Erlendsson joined Booger and Rich to discuss just how real the Marty St. Louis trade rumors are getting.
Erlendsson said that this year the team is a contender and the Lightning would derail their season by trading Marty St. Louis. This is so unlike St. Louis and Erlendsson said the sad part is that he's letting his involvement in the Olympics affect him professionally with the Lightning.
To Erlendsson, there's nothing other than getting left off Team Canada that could've gotten St. Louis upset enough to want a trade. To him, Erlendsson says St.Louis has to be a professional and move on from not being named to Team Canada.
Jeff Vinik reached out to St. Louis after he was left off Team Canada. Erlendsson said he could do so again in theory to help patch things up.

Free Lotus Lain Porn Tube - The Best Lotus Lain Hardcore XXX Videos Around
Porn4Free has the best collection of Lotus Lain hardcore xxx videos
When you are asked as to which porn star that you would like to drag by the hair and fuck, there is a great chance that the answer for most of you would be Lotus Lain. This is because of the way that Lotus Lain is portrayed in videos but the question in many of you minds will be whether she is like this in real life? As to that, only the near and dear ones of Lotus Lain would know. All we know that there is one easy way to enjoy the beauty of Lotus Lain, is to watch her videos on our site.
In an informal poll conducted by a porn site, Lotus Lain was voted as having one of the best figures for a porn star. I do not think that there are many of you who would wish to contest this decision because Lotus Lain is known for her beautiful legs, perfectly round ass, and a surprisingly voluptuous bosom, which is a figure to kill for. You will not be able to think of a reason why Lotus Lain should not be able to make a great model. This is the view that is shared by most of the others as well, who feel a modelling career beckons for Lotus Lain.
Many of you would have seen all kinds of stuff on the net, and would still not be satisfied. Especially for these kinds of guys, we bring Lotus Lain, an actress that not many know about. This is probably a good thing, as Lotus Lain is going to be an performer to reckon with in the next few years. It is an excellent opportunity for you guys to boast to your friends that Lotus Lain is a talent that you discovered and made them aware of. The fact remains that Lotus Lain videos are not something to let go easily.

The All-Star reliever agreed to a $15 million, three-year deal Sunday that adds two years and $12 million to his previous one.
Thornton, 34, posted a 2.67 ERA with a career-high eight saves last season. He struck out 81 in 602/3 innings to become the first White Sox pitcher to lead AL relievers in strikeouts since Keith Foulke in 1999.
"It was an easy choice with an organization like this, with what they've done the last five months or so, retaining the core guys, adding the pieces and expecting to win," Thornton said.
Manager Ozzie Guillen hasn't chosen who will be Bobby Jenks' replacement as the closer but indicated at times during the offseason that he would prefer Thornton in the role.
UMPS MEET with players, MLB: The unions for players and umpires held a rare joint meeting with management in Fort Myers. The 2½-hour session was set at the request of the players association after a series of missed calls in the playoffs.
CARPENTER HEALING: Cardinals right-hander Chris Carpenter, recovering from a strained left hamstring, felt only mild discomfort during a morning bullpen session and said he expects to be ready for opening day.
VETERAN RETIRES: Frank Catalanotto, who played for five teams in a 14-year career, announced his retirement. Catalanotto, 36, batted .291 with a .357 on-base percentage and a .445 slugging percentage while playing several positions.
BREWERS: Rightfielder Corey Hart aggravated his strained left oblique muscle during drills Saturday and might not be ready for the regular season.
DODGERS: Tests showed no serious issues with first baseman James Loney's swollen left knee, and he could return to the lineup as early as Wednesday.
METS: Carlos Beltran tested his right knee in a game for the first time this spring, getting a hit and sliding home. The All-Star centerfielder is expected to play right this season.
PADRES: The team hopes centerfielder Cameron Maybin can return to the lineup today after missing five games with concussionlike symptoms.
RANGERS: Right-hander Neftali Feliz bruised his left shin after being hit by a line drive during live batting practice. X-rays were negative.
ROYALS: Shortstop Alcides Escobar was scratched from the lineup after a bug bite caused an infection on his right arm.

Clinical mastitis treatment efficacy: Are we making progress? (Proceedings)
Mastitis is considered one of the most costly diseases of dairy cattle and one of the most common reasons for antibiotic treatment on dairy farms. There are numerous treatments (both antibiotic and non-antibiotic) for clinical mastitis. The majority of cows with clinical mastitis are treated with antibiotics but a study regarding on-farm culture indicated that withholding treatment pending culture helps reduce antibiotic usage (Neeser et al., 2006). Prior to the year 1994, there were very few studies of mastitis treatment efficacy that utilized non-treated control cases. Although it is well-known that the efficacy of a given treatment depends largely upon the agent of mastitis (Ødegaard and Sviland, 2001), few studies evaluated the effect of treatment on specific mastitis agents. Pirlimycin is highly effective against Streptococcus agalactiae but has no effect against Escherichia coli. Approximately 80% of clinical mastitis due to E. coli are mild to moderate cases and > 90% of these cases undergo spontaneous cure within a few days. Thus, an efficacy study of pirlimycin for "clinical mastitis" might suggest that pirlimycin is an effective antibiotic for E. coli. The severity level is also associated with the efficacy of a given product (Ødegaard and Sviland, 2001). There are various other factors that might alter the interpretation of the results of a clinical trial. A 2004 study identified severity of mastitis, lactation number, previous mastitis this lactation and bacteriological findings as factors that influence outcome of treatment and these factors appear relevant as stratification factors in mastitis trials (Hektoen et al., 2004a). To answer the question in the title, progress is being made as more studies utilize non-treated control cows and employ various measures to appropriately gather and analyze treatment data.
Qualities of a Sound Treatment Efficacy Study of Clinical Mastitis
1. Should be naturally occurring cases of clinical mastitis.

Well, that's the slogan embraced by these dirty, raw, drunken, punked-up New Yorkers and their fans.
I may not be the most unbiased reviewer here, because I've been pestering Von to actually release something for years now. But here it is, 27 tracks of pure punk-rock-metal.
TRANSILVANIAN BLUES is an interesting mix that is about as raw and ugly as it gets, consisting of two live on-the-air radio performances, a live show at the Silver Bullet Club, and a couple of leftover acoustic demos. The sound quality is about a half-step above absolutely vile, but I feel that it actually enhances the atmosphere of the disc, allowing a glimpse of BMR in that special live setting, free of pretense and inhibitions.
For those of you not familiar with BMR, the music best fits a mixture of sludgy Black Sabbath, The Misfits, and southern blues'n'rock'n'roll ala ZZ Top and CCR.
The first live set here, "Drunkleheit – Live on Radio Underground" highlights a handful of punk covers from the Ramones and Misfits, as well as the BMR "blues-and-booze-and-roll" original compositions. The covers are just that, moments of levity for the band to get off during the performance. Of the BMR originals, we have two songs "The Hangman," and "Scorpion King," both relatively previously unplayed. Quicker in pace, both of these tunes feature the energy-packed punk-metal trademark of BMR. "Raining Hell" is more metal pulling strongly towards the Misfits. Von gets about as technical as I've ever heard on this track with some interesting soloing around the 2:00 mark. This one must be a killer live track, 'cause I'm certainly getting into it. "After Hours" is a classic track of drunken blues with some personal lyrics. Definitely a winner here. "Built to Burn" is a track that I've been familiar with since its early demo days, and is probably the heaviest BMR track with its chugging, catchy riffs and strong melody. "Devils Highway" is another one of my BMR favourites as this track captures a purely evil atmosphere. Johnny Cash playing metal? This is as close as you can get. Closing out the radio session is "Rebel Hell," another blues-metal tune somewhat like a heavier "After Hours." My only complaints about this set are the vocals, which I feel are mixed too high to the point of distortion, as well as the same problem with guitars. Whatever my complaints, it sounds pretty good for cramming an entire band into the radio room.
Next up is the "Return of Drunkness and Evil" radio session. Here's more BMR as it's meant to be played: Live, Drunk, and all fuck-ups included free. The sound is much improved, creating a better balance of vocals and guitars (though sometimes a little muffled). Only one cover here (Misfits, this time), and "The Hangman" is the only carry-over from the Drunkleheit session. "Poison Girl" has an odd, but headbang-able groove that is catchy as fuck. It is obvious on this track (and the subsequent), that Von's voice was totally killed (hah!) by his illness that right, but he manages to make it through, albeit with some interesting tortured growls. In any case, the band is faster and much tighter this time around than the first radio show.
The third offering is the live EP, "Dawn of the Black Drunks." This is sort of the culmination of the album here, taking the "warm-ups" of the radio sessions and setting BMR free onstage in front of a live audience. Although the sound quality is not very good, it does give us a taste of the final product.
Lastly, for your listening pleasure, are a couple of acoustic demos. Surprisingly, these are quite good, and I wouldn't mind hearing more "BMR Unplugged."
All in all, TRANSILVANIAN BLUES is a good compilation showing BMR's evolution as a live band. Although Unsung Heroes releases their albums in CDR format, you do get decent packaging including full-colour inserts If you're a fan of simple metal with a good attitude of "let's just go out and fucking play the show," and you enjoy demos and general fucking around, then this one is something to check out.

Shops warned to be on look-out for scam involving bright yellow payment card
1:36pm Thursday 17th April 2014
1:36pm Thursday 17th April 2014
POLICE are warning businesses to be on the look-out after a couple attempted to buy £100s worth of gift tokens with a bright yellow payment card.
A man and a woman attempted to buy a £100 B&Q gift token and a 'Hello Kitty' bag from W H Smiths in King Street at 2.45pm on Wednesday, April 2.
The couple attempted to pay for the items with a debit card however it was declined.
Then while the man and the cashier were on the phone to the bank the woman appeared to produce a yellow bank card similar to a debit or credit card.
The cashier then told the pair they would have to pay for the gift token with cash.
They chose not to buy the token but purchased the bag and left the shop.
The shop had been told that other scams had been carried out across the country where a yellow card is used in a Chip and Pin machine – the machine accepts the card but no payment is made.
Senior harm reduction advisor Dave McFarlane said: "Although on this occasion no offence was committed, this incident has all the hallmarks of crimes committed previously where a fake payment card is used to pay for goods fraudulently.
"We would advise all local shops and businesses to be on their guard for people working in groups of two requesting to purchase high value gift tokens and using a yellow payment card to do so"
Anyone with any information on incidents of this nature is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident number 282 of April 2.

Product Notes
I haven't used the Gel Blast 3 personally but for the last few years I have been enjoying another shoe in the Asics line, the Asics Gel 1130V.
According to Asics these Gel Blast 3 shoes have "Rynoskin forefoot reinforcement" to protect against toe drag. I looked into Rynoskin a little bit. Apparently it was originally designed for use in clothing, to protect against insect bites. It's a breathable but very sturdy fabric, so it makes sense that it's made its way into squash shoes. Their Website includes these pictures as examples of the different ways it can be used:
Hmm. I'm not sure what to make of all that, but I do know Asics make good squash shoes.

I have a lot of work and writing to do about things that aren't Buffy, so I made a choice. A choice to write about Buffy. I have been debating internally and with anyone who will listen for a while about whether or not Tara was killed off for being gay, and I have to say that I don't think she was. Joss Whedon is not a homophobe, he's just a heartbreaker. Of course it could be argued that Tara and Willow kissed and had sex shortly before her untimely death, but this is not a case of sexuality. It's a case of attachment and character development, followed by an abrupt end. Because this is what Joss does. Conversely, we could look at the fact that everyone with a sexuality or a romantic attachment gets punished in some way in the Buffyverse, and that is what I want to talk about. It's been a while since I wrote a poorly researched essay based solely on my own opinions and fanaticism, so let's just go right ahead.
In my opinion, the punishment of characters for possessing a sexuality or enjoying themselves is almost a feminist statement. Women and good men have their happiness taken away, whereas rapists and murderers get away with – well, rapes and murders. Mostly. This is often how it works, sadly, and Joss is telling us this. It is constantly frustrating to watch Xander treat women like dirt and still get them fawning after him, or to see Spike allowed redemption for his attempted rape of Buffy. The show ends with everyone alone, for their own individual reasons. This is how it has been throughout.
Case study one: Buffy and Angel. Perhaps the most literal example of sexuality and punishment is their relationship, which was doomed from the start. When Angel experiences one moment of true happiness, he loses his soul and goes on a murderous rampage. This of course means that when Buffy loses her virginity to him, he turns evil and tries to kill her and all of her friends. Buffy feels guilt and at fault for the entire situation, which affects her sexual relationships from then on. Her friends don't say they blame her for the consequential murder of Jenny or the other events that ensue – but they never say that it isn't her fault. Buffy loses her virginity and causes the murder of several people, including a friend. Having sex with someone who turns on you when you're seventeen is tough enough, but when you bring stalking and murdering into the mix things get dark. Buffy herself is constantly taken advantage of, cheated on, messed about and abused. She is punished every time she gets dangerously close to possessing a sexuality or any romantic feelings.
I don't want to talk about Giles too much, because it's heartbreaking. He's a good man and a father to Buffy, who deserves all of the healthy functioning sexual relationships in the world. But, this is the Buffyverse, and if he is going to possess a sexuality then he is going to be punished for it. When Giles and Jenny are on the brink of starting a relationship early in season two, Angel cruelly murders her in Giles' house. Giles never has a relationship again, almost gets killed going after Angel, and everything is awful once again for Rupert.
Anya. Precious, beautiful Anya. She spent a thousand years torturing men for their infidelities and mistakes, only to become human and learn to trust one. Foolishly, she chose Xander. Xander who rejected and ignored Willow for years only to cheat with her on beautiful Cordelia. Xander who executed a love spell, who obsessed over Buffy, who was from day one a problematic and unlikable character. Oh, Anya. She fell for Xander, she accepted his proposal, was left at the altar. In her grief she slept with Spike because she felt a connection due to their similarities and demonness – which of course, Xander condemned her for. She never found love again, and then she died.
So we come to Willow and Tara. After Oz cheated on her and then killed the girl he slept with, she discovered a little happiness in another woman. It was tough to get their relationship on TV at all, and Joss had to lobby pretty hard to keep their first kiss in the episode. After they sleep together in the form of song, Tara is murdered by the most misogynistic shit in the entire series. This is the catalyst for Willow's evil rampage which she needs to seek redemption for, and ultimately, everyone loses.
If I extended my survey to look to the rest of Joss' work, we would see the evidence everywhere. Nobody can be happy or sexually active without having it taken away from them and burned into tiny pieces in front of their eyes. Nobody can have sex without being murdered or bringing about the end of the world. There is not one healthy relationship in the Buffyverse, which is why I don't believe that Tara's death was a punishment for being gay. It was a punishment for being happy, and at a stretch, for having a sexuality at all.

Hydroxatone / Bellaplex New Jersey Usa
taking money out of my account
Complaint Rating:
Contact information:

Phone: 447719149889
Back in August 2011 when on the internet a advert appeared for Hydroxatone/Bellaplex free trial $1.99, with no strings attached. I checked reviews on this product and the reviews were praising the results of this wrinkle cream.Hydroxatone.
I am a senior citizen 65 years old and although I'm told I look good for my age, Vanity got to me!
On the 7th August 2011. I ordered my free trial face cream for $1.99, which was for the p&p.
On my bank statement August the 9th the $1.99 was drawn. Fine so far!
The Hydroxatone arrived in September 2011, which I collected from the post office and had to pay £25.58 import duty, and £8.00 was for postage. Not what I would call a free sample!!!
My Bank statement arrived end of September 2011. there is a withdrawal on the 15th Sept from my account for £45.65 to Acm*Hydroxatone USA. Is this a company helping themselves to my money?
That day, I went to my Bank and Spoke to the manager, I explained £45.65 has been taken from my account without my authority. I was told this company is a scam, "we have other customers just like you, who have had money taken from their account by this same company".
As a pensioner I receive a state pension of £107. per week and cannot afford for this company to misuse my account details to help themselves to my money!!!
I have tried to contact by email Acm*hydroxatone with out any success. I cannot find any clear links to the company to complain and request they refund the money's taken from my account.
I feel very angry this has happened to me. Is there a ombudsman or trading standards or someone independant who could look into this company and to put a stop to them miss using debit card details?
I have used my expensive free samples of Hydroxatone and I can say with confidents it definitly does'nt work!
