Soap Opera Marriages and Sniffles
Right up front, I'm gonna say that this is definitely meant as a "fluff piece"! But work with me here- I've done alot of, uh,… RESEARCH- YEAH, THAT'S IT- RESEARCH!… over the years on this one. More while recovering from a damned head cold recently.
And yes, a very deliberate dig of the use of the word "research" a la Bam-Bam and the Peter…
Drew Peterson's non-stop press coverage, including his upcoming 5th nuptials, and a raging head cold got me to thinking this morning about tradtional marriage.
So let's discuss marriage for a minute as portrayed in the television world. Heck, let's take it all the way back to the preceeding radion era.
Flip the channel time! Let's see what we got here. A cop who is either a serial husband and murderer, along the lines of the infamous Henry VIII or horribly maligned. Honestly, other than he married alot and offed his wives on occasion, what does anyone remember about his monarchy?
Peterson has married 4 times, usually to women much younger than him (missing wife #4 Stacy was about 17 to his 48), and here he is now engaged to a 5th woman more than half his age while Stacy is still classified as "missing". Drew is still legally married to her.
He's only known this latest kid (because I'm sorry, but at 23, you're still a bit wet behind the ears! Or at least I was…) a few months. Her family is livid and who can blame them?
Okay, got it.
Yet, religious leaders who squee and wail whenever a gay or lesbian couple wish to tie the knot have to the best of my knowledge not been storming over to Peterson's house, demanding that his rights to marry be permanently revoked.
Hmm- this is a puzzler…
Hell, they didn't even bat an eye at John McCain's well-known adultery and remarriage to sugar momma CindyLou! What the heck?
So I guess multiple marriages aren't that big a deal after all. And that thing about "thou shalt not commit adultery" is merely one of the "Ten Suggestions", not an actual rule or commandment or anything.
Their "God" was just kidding, like when he littered all those pesky and hard to explain dinosaur bones around the place 6000 PLUS ONE years ago. What a joker, that guy.
Anyhoo… where are the big protests in New York and California, where they tape soaps, regarding these additional "serial spouses" of the television world?
1. "All My Children" (ABC) Erica Kane. 10 marriages and counting, including brothers.
2. "The Bold and the Beautiful" (CBS) Brooke Logan. Also 10, but multiple to same guy. Has married 2 brothers, their father, and a half-brother of one of the first brothers.
Oh BROTHER!! 😉
And it's not just women:
3. "One Life To Live" Asa Buchanan. 14 marriages for that old cowboy before he finally hung up his spurs and illegitimate kids to boot. Yee-haw!
4. "The Young And The Restless" Victor Newman. At least 9 or 10 marriages off the top of my head and he even kept one in a cage for awhile, I think. Kids? Hell, he's even had a frozen sperm sample stolen and made into a kid by one disgruntled ex-wife (who he's currently banging again).
But they're both mega-rich white men, so that's all okay.
Oh, I could go on and on- every show has at least one character whose goal in life is to rack up the spouses like trophies. Kids born who have no clue about their true parentage, the circumstances behind their conception via affairs or what have you and inevitably discover it when needing a rare blood type transfusion or as adults, as they are accidentally dating or engaged to siblings.
Eeks! Potential incestuous marriage!! Rick Warren's greatest FEAR!!!
And yet- NO PROTESTS. Why, one wonders?
Lemme chuck this out here- a wee theory. maybe it's because these are all STRAIGHT RELATIONSHIPS???
Whenever a show has ventured into LGBT issues or relationships (and a handful have, going all the way back to Donna Pescow's character Dr. Lynn Carson on AMC back in the 1980's), there has been hand-wringing and mass hysteria.
OMG, the flurry of panic when Bianca, age 16, came out as a lesbian to her disapproving and shocked mother, the afore-mentioned Erica Kane in 2000, or when "As The World Turns" (CBS)Luke and Noah finally kissed!
I know it's because the Comtrex isn't suffiently clearing my sinuses and I feel like hammered crud, but dammit- I'M TIRED OF THE STUPIDITY, THE HYPOCRASY, THE HATE AND BIGOTRY. The willingness to label all of it under the unbrella of their Holy Bible, which is conveniently ignored or shoved into the bedside dresser out of sight.
How many examples of fucked up marital situations, real or fictional, have to be shown to point out the absolute insanity of the anti same sex marriage stance in America?
Dunno- but you can bet I'm not gonna stop pointing them out until we have full, equal, recognized in all 50 states marriage for everyone!
Pass the tissues and give me the remote, please…

Louisville, KY, United States, 2015/07/07 - Who to know in Wealth Management in Louisville, Kentucky - MercurioAdvisors.com.
Mercurio Wealth Advisors is proud to announce that Alan Mercurio, senior wealth advisor, has been selected for the Business First 20 People to know in Wealth Management article.
When interviewed by Carolyn Tribble Greer, Digital Editor for Louisville Business First, Alan Mercurio, a 29-year veteran of wealth management, gave a very non-typical response to her question What concerns them most about their industry and what would they change? Alans response; I would require that all advisers operate under a fiduciary standard. Its hard to believe that a Congressional study has to be done in order to determine if putting your clients best interest first is really necessary.
Alan was referring to the recent article in The Wall Street Journal. The article explains that, currently, financial advisers registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are required to always act in the best interest of their clients a standard called a fiduciary duty.
But this standard doesn't apply to all financial-service providers. Rather, stockbrokers and others are expected to meet a "suitability" standard the investments they recommend need only be suitable for the investor. That means that these professionals can recommend products that earn them fees and commissions even though other products might bring better returns for the client.
Mr. Mercurio (mercurioadvisors.com) was also asked to describe an experience with a customer that was very gratifying to him. Alans response was In 1997, I started working with a couple, managing the wifes investments only. The husband was a do-it- yourself guy, so he handled his own. Upon his retirement in 2000, he made a tax mistake that cost him about $200,000. He then asked me to manage his as well. Over the years, I built a close relationship with the couple. In 2010, they let me know that (the husband) had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs disease, and his health was declining rapidly. One Friday, knowing (his wife) wasnt able to leave the house very often, I let her know Id sit with (her husband) while she ran some errands. While talking with him, he reached across and put his hand on mine, similar to how my dad did one time earlier in my life, and told me, You know youre going to have to take care of her. Ill never forget that moment. Thats the real relationship behind wealth management trust.
Sit back, listen and learn about making the most of your retirement at any stage in life! Catch Alan,"Louisville's Retirement Coach" every Sunday on his radio show, Retirement 360 that aires on 84WHAS at 11am.

You've probably noticed the apical roof of the new Tempe Center for the Arts from the Loop 202, but were too busy not getting killed in Tempe-corridor traffic to wonder what the hell it is. Find out during the Tempe Center for the Arts Grand Opening celebration. You'll need to plan your afternoon carefully, as there are seven (count ´em!) different performance areas.

It's hoped by the Tempe powers that be that the long-awaited performing-arts facility on the banks of Town Lake will give Tempe the sort of cultural cachet that Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and Mesa Arts Center provide their respective cities. The TCA, however, has a different operating philosophy, booking its various performance areas with resident companies such as the Tempe Symphony Orchestra, Childsplay, Arizona Wind Symphony, Desert Dance Theatre, and Tempe Little Theatre, all of whom will be on hand providing entertainment. And whether you love the new building's design or loathe it -- reactions are mixed -- you can learn why the architectural firm Architekton made the decisions it did at two separate presentations.

via Lara Hoad, Creative Action, Sustainability faculty:
I want to invite you to a fun event in Venice Beach this Thursday evening, 5th December that my students from Otis College of Art and Design are putting on in collaboration with Surfrider Foundation's Rise Above Plastics program and Mittel's Art Supplies.
This is the 5th year anniversary of partnership between Surfrider and Otis which has seen tremendous creative activism in raising awareness about the huge amounts of single-use plastics that are polluting our oceans and beaches. Many of you will be aware of the great pacific garbage patch in the Pacific ocean that is filled with disposable plastics affecting the food chain from plankton to humans.
This year the students are focused on the plight of the seabird and how they are dying in their hundreds of thousands globally from ingesting plastics on the surface of the ocean. They have installed an art piece on the facade of Mittel's Art Supplies store and are holding a Seabird Funeral event there where they intend to highlight the issue in a fun but informative way.
Please come and support your local art and surf community and help the fight against single-use plastic bottles, bags and packaging by attending this event. There will be music, food and lots of activities.
Bring your own mason jar to decorate and WEAR BLACK TO SAVE OUR SEABIRDS!
On behalf of Surfrider Foundation, Otis College of Art and Design and Mittel's Art Supplies thank you for your support!
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

If I could redo high school, I would have quit marching band (lame) and take art classes instead (I would also have played tennis). Maybe someday I can still take an art class or two. This year for our 3rd wedding anniversary, Jared and I decided to make homemade presents. I made him a painting.

Error 500 only when accessing externally
Hi all!
Just made an account because I'm having a problem with Calibre that I've never had before. I can access Calibre with the internal IP but not with my external IP. This has never been an issue.
I moved Calibre from my Vortexbox server to my Windows 7 machine. I changed my port forwarding entry to the IP of the Win 7 box. All other applications are available on their respective ports. I know it's hitting Calibre because I'm getting a 500 Internal server error. If I switch over to internal IP it shows up.
Anybody got an idea of what would cause this?
Extra info: I've turned off Windows Firewall for the moment, restarted the router and all switches in my house, restarted the computer and Calibre and the server function multiple times. I've tried it with another port as well. Ooh, when I put it on port 91 I got a google "Oops" error instead.

Al Gore refuses to gamble on the environment
- By Caitlin Wall
J. Scott Armstrong, a forecasting expert and climate-change skeptic from the Wharton School of Business, thinks he is smarter than former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore. Armstrong believes he can "make more accurate forecasts of annual mean temperatures than those that can be produced by current climate models," and has repeatedly challenged Gore to put money on the proposition. Today is Gore's deadline to take him up on the wager.
If Gore accepted the bet, both men would deposit $10,000 into an escrow account that would be distributed by the winner to the charity of his choice in 2018, when the contest would end. The prize goes to whomever has the closest-to-accurate predictions of average temperature, over one to 10-year horizons, at 10 independently chosen weather stations around the globe over the course of the next decade.
Armstrong's Global Warming Challenge came in June of last year, as Gore revelled in the success of his film An Inconvenient Truth and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was preparing its most grim predictions on climate change to date. Armstrong and a colleague published a paper (pdf) entitled "Global Warming: Forecasts by Scientists Versus Scientific Forecasts" blasting the IPCC models as unscientific.
Armstrong initially challenged the former veep to answer the wager by December 1, 2007, but was rebuffed by Gore's representatives. Armstrong, in a letter to Gore, then granted an extention of the wager deadline until today, March 26th, 2008. Gore has again declined (click here for the Armstrong's account of the exchange between the two camps), but he still has a few hours in which to change his mind.
I hope he doesn't. Gore is right to dismiss this antagonistic offer. Subjecting complex scientific issues to a game of gotcha only heightens the conflict surrounding the issue, and doesn't bring us any closer to bridging political divides or solving problems that most scientists agree will plague us for generations to come.
But if Armstrong wants people to put their money where their mouths are, perhaps he would agree to this wager: Both he and Gore can purchase vacation homes of equal value, Gore's house on high ground, and Armstrong's on the tiny Pacific island of Tuvalu. Then we'll see who's really full of hot air.

How to Ruin the 'Justice League' Movie — Cast Ben Affleck
Getty Images/DC Comics What are the people at Warner Bros. thinking? After the success of 'The Avengers,' there was no doubt that DC Comics had to respond with their own supergroup of superheroes, and the 'Justice League' fits the bill. But to put Ben Affleck at the helm and actually let him act in the movie -- are they insane?!

Darkness Frontman in Rehab
The band have had to cancel a festival appearance and upcoming shows while Justin Hawkins is in a rehabilitation clinic.
Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has been admitted to a rehabilitation clinic and has been forced to "cancel all professional commitments or work-related activities," according to a post on his band's site. The band had to miss their appearance at Denmark's Skanderborg Festival, which they said was far from ideal and added, "Having been on out on the road constantly for such a long time and having not had any time off over the past three years, [this is] what Justin has decided to do, and [the band] agreed that his health must come first." The Darkness are quick to note that Hawkins' stint in rehab will not signal the end of the band and that Atlantic Records is not planning to drop them from their roster; rather, the label has "taken up option with the band" and will release their third album next year.
"We are not here to comment on Justin's private life — or anyone else's for that matter," the post continued. "He is feeling better already, and as soon as he is ready we will be going straight into the studio to begin recording album number 3."
Talk: Will the Darkness be able to survive this setback? COMMENT

Two goals by defenseman Dylan Bouten helped the Elk River Elks win the all-important rubber match with the Andover Huskies 4-2 on Saturday to earn a shot at the section championship.
Ben Johnson and Chase Springman also scored for the Elks, who were 2-for-2 on power plays and 3-for-3 on penalty kills, while Mac Berglove stopped 29 of 31 shots, at Amsoil Arena in Duluth.
The No. 2 seeded Elks (20-6) face No. 1 seed Duluth East (20-6-1) in the Section 7AA finals Thursday at 7 p.m. at Amsoil.
In conference play, the Elks beat Andover 7-6 in a wild shootout Dec. 7 and the Huskies (18-9) got a 5-2 payback win on Feb. 1, each team winning at home.
Andover got on the board first with Andy Feyo beating Berglove at 13:00 of the first period, but Johnson, on a power play, scored 1:14 later, a assists by Jake Jaremko and Springman.
Andover took another lead at 4:22 of the second period on a goal by Tyler Tomberlin, who's riddled the Elks for six of his 27 goals in three games.
However, Bouten scored twice, less than three minutes apart, first at 7:11 with Nolan Dwyer assisting, then at 10:17 on the power play with Jack Geissler assisting. Those were seventh and eighth goals by Bouten, a junior.
Springma added his 21st goal of the season 3:08 into the third period, with Peter Jones and Matt Kierstad assisting, and Berglove and the defense made the lead stand.
The Elks beat Duluth East 3-2 in Duluth on Dec. 10 but the Greyhounds, who've won this section five straight years, got the top seed anyway and have been on a roll late in the season, outscoring their last six opponents 33-8.

If the 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik had not published his 1500-page 'manifesto' just before embarking upon the killing spree that left 76 dead in Oslo and a nearby island hosting a Labour Party youth camp, there would have been a tendency to dub him as a 'lone wolf'.
European commentaries would have been dominated by portraits of a psychopath who perpetrated a monstrous crime for rather inexplicable motives. The manifesto documents the formative influences from prophets of hate on both sides of the Atlantic and shows linkages with anti-Muslim, anti-left and, above all, anti-immigration groups that practice violence to out-match that done by Europe's right wing anti-immigration political parties. The state apparatus is mostly committed to the war against al Qaeda and the surveillance of small groups of 'radical' Muslim immigrants. A relative tolerance of neo-Nazi and white extremist groups has given them space to grow into a menace not only for Europe's Muslims but also for the host states themselves.
Breivik represents the point of total horror that the tolerant European states never expected to see; they associate violence only with the "other", the Muslims under al Qaeda's influence. Consider the two main elements of the crusade that Breivik undertook. First and foremost, he wanted to fight the immigrants' demographic "aggression". He saw an Arab-Muslim takeover of Europe. In 2002, while in England, he revived the Knight Templars to save western civilisation from this dark fate. In his so-called "Declaration of European Independence", the final climactic battle would have to be fought in 2083, i.e., 400 years after the Ottomans were turned away by a united Europe. Secondly, his ire got concentrated on the "Marxist culture" of the European left that created political parties that accepted immigrants and hoped either to integrate them or let them work and flourish under a policy of multiculturalism.
Every single sub-theme of Breivik's writing echoes vast bodies of underground and rightwing journalism that has rapidly expanded in Europe. Breivik's apocalyptic act to punish his own country is clearly linked with the policies of the ruling Labour Party that was guilty of opening the door to immigrants and treating them humanely in terms of education and employment. Worse still, the Labour Party was not dismissive of Palestinian rights for which it had faced occasional criticism from Israel.
Recently, three top leaders of Europe — David Cameron, Angela Merkel and Nicholas Sarkozy — have turned their back on multiculturalism with the exclusive French dream of integration perishing in the harsh realities of the banlieues (in French-speaking areas, suburbs of a city) as the state remained obsessed with head scarves rather than the socio-economic issues of unemployment, housing and a general sense of deprivation among the migrant Muslim community. The fact of the matter is that the fear of demography is greatly exaggerated.
According to Timothy M Savage (of the Office of European Analysis at the US State department), there are 15.2 million Muslims in the original pre-expansion EU. France has 5 million, Germany 4 million, the UK 1.6 million, Italy 1 million and Netherlands over 880,000. Austria, Belgium, Greece and Sweden have Muslim populations each ranging between 300,000 and 450,000. In the new EU member states, the entire Muslim population is estimated at 290,000 out of which Cyprus alone accounts for 200,000. The overall demographic profile of Europe does not justify paranoid reactions. With these figures, the conjuring up the nightmare of 'Eurabia" must be rooted in a visceral rejection of the 'other', hyped up by the media and exploited by right-wing parties for electoral purposes.
The entire world shares the grief of the Norwegian people who have paid a huge price for their lofty ideals. But there had been no lack of danger signals. The day Geert Wilder's party won 15.5 per cent of the vote in 2010 elections in the Netherlands, European governments should have sat up and discarded the myth that that fascism in Europe died for ever in 1945. The wars of Yugoslavia were a frightening reminder of atavistic urges in human communities. The electoral gains of extremist parties show that fringe elements of today can stake a claim to mainstream politics tomorrow. Europe needs to do something about the hardening of religious, ethnic and racial prejudices on its soil.

Kay Bailey Hutchison, are expected to gather on the banks of the Brazos River next month to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the state's independence. The free, two-day festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 26-27 at Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site to celebrate the birth of the Republic of Texas. Sen. Hutchison, who will speak at the Sunday afternoon commemorative program in the park's amphitheater, is a descendant of declaration signer Charles Taylor. Taylor was one of 59 men who attended the Independence Convention March 1-17, 1836, in an unfinished frame building in the heart of a growing Texas colony seeking independence from Mexico. Highlighting the program, which kicks off at 1 p.m. with music from a contingent of the Fighting Texas Aggie Band, will be the dramatic roll call of each of the declaration signer's names. A black powder salute by the Texas Army will follow. At 3 p.m., a giant, 72-panel reproduction of the original painting, "Reading of the Texas Declaration of Independence," created in 1936 by Charles and Fanny Normann, will be unveiled. When complete, the segments painted a number of different artists, will be assembled to create a reproduction of the painting three times the original size. Afterwards, the traditional Texas-sized birthday cake will be sliced and served. Throughout the day on Saturday, park visitors will be able to witness a re-enactment of key moments of the convention, including the arrival of Texian Col. William Travis' famous letter announcing the siege of the Alamo, as well as the reading and signing of the Declaration of Independence. "Texans and others who seek a better understanding of the state's unique legacy should visit this year during the annual celebration," says Scott McMahon, the park's lead historic interpreter. "This is our 175th birthday at the place where Texas was born and the last capital of the Republic of Texas." McMahon will portray Daniel Boone McMahon, a pioneer who lived just across the Brazos River from the pre-Republic burg of Washington. His relative joined the Washington Guards, a local militia that acted as the rear guard for Texian Gen. Sam Houston during the Runaway Scrape and fought during the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. The two-day celebration at the 293-acre park along the Brazos River transports visitors back to the time when Texas was a sovereign nation. Costumed re-enactors and members of the Texas Army, along with skilled craftsmen and talented musicians, fill the park as the Lone Star State commemorates its inception. Re-enactors portraying statesmen of the era, such as Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin, will be on hand to explain the importance of Texas independence. On both days, vendors will be selling food and drinks. Both Saturday and Sunday, visitors will be able to enjoy a performance of "The Texas Convention: The Birth of a Republic," by the Navasota Theater Alliance in the park amphitheater. During the weekend, park visitors will be able to stop in at a river overlook campsite and experience a slice of what daily life was like for those who volunteered to fight for Texas independence as a member of the Texian Army. There also will be small arms and artillery firing demonstrations at the overlook and the Washington House behind the Star of the Republic Museum. The museum will be opening its news exhibit, "Fifty-nine for Freedom," that explores the contributions of each delegate through various artifacts and historical documents. Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site features three attractions that are open year round: Independence Hall, the Star of the Republic Museum and the Barrington Living History Farm. The event is made possible through funding from the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Park Association, Exxon/Mobil Corporation and Bluebonnet Electric Co-op. Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site is located between Brenham and Navasota off State Hwy. 105 and FM 1155, approximately one hour northwest of Houston.

KAMPALA - The Archbishop of Kampala, Dr. Cyprian Lwanga has said that those who have complaints about the operations of Pope Paul Memorial Hotel should write down their grievances so that he can work on them other than plotting to kill him.
It is the first time he has spoken out on the reported attempt to end his life.
There have emerged allegations that a group of workers at the Catholic Church-led hotel and a witchdoctor were clandestinely plotting to kill him over the way he runs the hotel.
Lwanga said: "I forgive them, but they should write their problems down and we shall work on them."
Police is investigating the claims and already some staff at the Rubaga-based hotel and the witchdoctor have been arrested to help with investigations.
Addressing the flock on Saturday at Rubaga Cathedral, Lwanga revealed he has been receiving constant telephone calls from friends and concerned Ugandans over the allegations.
"I told them that I don't know about it. I was not here. I was in Vienna, Austria attending a religion for peace conference.
"There is no one who has ever come to me with an intention to kill me. The problem is with our people – who work at Pope Paul Memorial," he said.
Lwanga was speaking at the Kampala Archdiocesan day celebrations to mark the end of the Catholic faith year calendar and also the 88 years of the Cathedral.
The Ambassador of the Holy See to Uganda, Archbishop Michael Blume led the mass.

A former Christchurch couple could not bear to spend their daughter's birthday hearing evidence of the "tragic events" surrounding her death.
Details of a police investigation into a sexual assault complaint made by Tineke Foley only months before her suspected suicide were outlined at a coroner's inquest in Christchurch District Court yesterday.
Her parents, Ebony and Peter Foley, originally planned to attend the inquest, but instead celebrated what would have been Tineke's 36th birthday "remembering and cherishing" her at their Taumarunui home.
Tineke Foley died in March 2010, five months after making a complaint to police that she was sexually abused by a nurse while a patient at a Christchurch mental health facility.
She left a note for her parents, who were unaware of the allegations, asking for "justice". The Foleys contacted police, and then, through a lawyer, made a complaint to the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA).
Detective Dale Forman and his supervisor, Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Keane, were reprimanded after the IPCA's investigation found inadequacies in Forman's handling of the case, the court heard.
Christchurch police professional standards manager Brent Mikaera said in his evidence that peer reviews of the IPCA report found Forman "formed a mindset" about the legitimacy of Foley's claim within a few hours of his investigation.
Foley was not medically examined, nor interviewed according to adult sexual assault investigation guidelines, in which Forman was not trained, Mikaera said.
One peer review, by Detective Inspector Tusha Penny, found: "The investigator should have appreciated the vulnerability of the victim in this case . . . [she] was the 'perfect victim', because of her lack of credibility in any complaint."
Margaret Smyth, lawyer for the Foleys, said Forman, who did not give evidence, told the nurse over the phone the matter would "go no further".
While being questioned by Smyth, Keane said he was not privy to the conversation, and had understood at the time the matter would be "fully investigated".
Keane took over the investigation after Foley's death. In his evidence, he said he formally interviewed the nurse, whose name is suppressed.
Keane said he also hoped to interview other patients, but the nurse said this was not possible because of their medical condition.
There was insufficient evidence to proceed with prosecution, Keane said.
Keane and Forman attended a "disciplinary meeting" with Detective Inspector Tom Fitzgerald in August 2012 over the initial investigation and Keane's ongoing management, Mikaera said.
Keane and Forman accepted the inadequacies, and Fitzgerald was "satisfied that this [their handling of the case] was an isolated incident", Mikaera said.
Anne O'Brien, lawyer for the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, told coroner Richard McElrea the accused nurse had been subject to extensive investigation by the Nursing Council, which found Foley's allegations were "not supported by evidence".
Ebony Foley said that once McElrea presented his report into Tineke's death, she and her husband would "finally be able to grieve".
The couple hailed the IPCA report as a "huge step forward".
"We feel like we've finally got somewhere and are in some way making a difference because they're thinking of using Tineke's story to help train police officers," she said.
There would be "so many other people with similar stories" to her daughter, a "warm, loving person" who loved art and music.

About Us
Nintendo downloads delve into sports, the future and the furry this week
posted: 6/7/2010 3:55:00 PM
More On:
This week's additions to Nintendo's downloadable game roster do not include any blasts from the past on the Virtual Console (again). The DSi and Wii, however, will have plenty of other titles for you to play with in the meantime.
First things first: if you haven't picked up
Photo Dojo
, you should do so before this Friday to take advantage of the zero DSi Points it will cost you. Although I have not lived the life of a growing boy, it's to my knowledge that burning things was a common pastime. You can relive that fun in a futuristic setting in
(500 points) where the solar system needs to be rid of space junk via the incinerator pod. In a different set of futuristic events,
Fire Panic
(200 points) will require you to direct a fire engine towards uproars of persistent flames.
Don't Cross The Lin
e (200 points) is this week's puzzle addition, which will ask you to connect lines to boxes without crossing them. Lastly is yet another Flips addition with
Flips: The Magic Faraway Tree
(500 points), also known as the DSi's attempt at an e-reader. Hit the jump for storyline details for this particular title.
On the Wii this week, you can fish and play golf, or role-play as a meerkat in
Lead the Meerkats
(1,000 points) who needs to form their own pack.
Reel Fishing Challenge II
(500 points) consists of 30 missions of capturing realistic moving fish.
Zoo Disc Golf
(1,000 points) is a spin on golfing, involving a goal of reaching the Emergency Animal Control station at each of the zoo's enclosures.
And with that, I draw a close to this week's Nintendo titles available for download. Read on for the itty bitty details.
From tidying up the galaxy to trying out life as a meerkat, this week's new game downloads from Nintendo offer a wealth of wonderfully unusual activities. For the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, Flametail™ invites players to incinerate all manner of space garbage, while Don't Cross The Line puts timeless puzzle-solving thrills in the palms of their hands. Also, Nintendo DSiWare users have just a few more days to download the hilarious hand-held battle game Photo Dojo™ for zero Nintendo DSi Points™. (Starting June 11, the game will require 200 Nintendo DSi Points for download.) Meanwhile, fresh additions to the WiiWare™ service include the new fishing-simulation sequel Reel Fishing® Challenge II and the furry fun of Lead the Meerkats™.
A new week also brings a new addition to the "Big Name Games" section of the WarioWare™: D.I.Y. series, which features downloadable microgames from some of the industry's most talented figures. Nintendo Power™ magazine staffer Chris Hoffman is the creator of this week's featured game, Power Surge, which asks players to locate and match various Nintendo Power staffers. New "Big Name Games" will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii system today to learn more about these games.

Take control of the Flametail pod and start winding your way through obstacles, then watch as your flaming tail ignites blocks of troublesome debris and eventually eliminates them. Be careful not to work yourself into a dead end, and don't let the hazard line that follows you catch up to your tail or reach any leftover garbage. Luckily, you can find useful items (such as bombs or score multipliers) along your path and earn special power-ups (like radar or a missile) by collecting letter panels to spell particular words. Effectively burn up the floating garbage in the game's two modes – Space Tour and Time Limit – and earn new graphics and other surprises as you progress. The straightforward controls make it possible for anyone to take on the job of restoring space to pristine condition. Do you have what it takes to make your way to the outer reaches of the solar system?

Hitch on Cancer
Posted By Michael Craig Miller, M.D. On August 20, 2010 @ 12:22 pm In Cancer,Men's Health,Mental Health,Stress | Comments Disabled
Thanks to my friend and colleague, Christopher Lovett, PhD, for alerting me to the vivid piece that Christopher Hitchens wrote about his cancer diagnosis. It appears in the September 2010 issue of Vanity Fair.
Hitchens is a banality-basher. The value of his piece is in his detailed account — the particularity of his experience comes through. A good read for anyone who thinks about mortality. Does anyone not?

Spot and diffuse nasty Facebook messages
Facebook is a strange beast.
Today nearly everyone has a Facebook account, but how people use the platform varies greatly. I know people who have profiles who haven't been updated in three years. Others use the newsfeed to find stories from relatives and brands. And it seems like a substantial minority of my contacts just use it exclusively to post content about Bernie Sanders.
Facebook can also be difficult to place when planning a social strategy for a financial brand. Facebook isn't a place for serious discussion. It's not the where people go to learn how to make large software implementation or allocation decisions.
In working with business-to-business brands, I've received questions about Facebook. Should we use this platform? How much of our effort should be placed on reaching out? This effects nearly every company. A Facebook page will be automatically generated for your company once it reaches a certain size. This can be a place where prospective clients reach out, ask questions or register complaints.
Major brands like Coke or Frito Lay have a small army of people managing and responding on social channels. Most of my clients have someone who does as one of many parts of their job. For these people, I've found a five step process helps with ensuring you can spot and react to Facebook messages.
Step 1: Identify
Every company needs to designate someone or a small team as Facebook account administrators. People serving as admins on the account should quickly flag messages posted to the page.
When you log into Facebook, administrators will have the option to use Facebook "as a company." Once this is done, there are a series of notification settings. Turn on emails, so a message is sent every time someone posts (you can also turn on text message notification as well.) Messages can be then be shared with a select "response team."
Step 2: De-escalate
Sometimes people posting on the page will be angry. Other times, they may want information right away. We should aim to first and foremost have people realize that we are here and ready to help. Start posts by thanking people for their interest and offering to help.
Step 3: Provide context
Sending a message on Facebook isn't always a well-thought-out decision. Any material you can provide about their issue, including drawing from webpages, is useful.
Step 4: Provide a next step
Ensure the person asking the question understands the next action. Frequently this will mean pushing the conversation to a customer service or direct channel. We typically don't want a complicated discussion or something involving personal information happening in public. Acknowledge their problem and assure them it's being addressed.
Step 5: Flag the response
We don't want to send someone to a customer service queue, only for them to have to explain their issue or situation again. Wherever you send the customer, make sure that person knows that they might be contacted. Check to see if the person posts a follow-up comment on our newsfeed (positive or negative) and flag to the team.
These are general guidelines and I would recommend whoever is doing front-line channel management to flag posts and create draft outlines. Then a pre-selected group can provide quick approval or edits on responses.
Each company will have to decide how quickly to respond to messages and create a workflow based on their resources. The most important point not just to let these posts sit there. You may be ignoring Facebook, but its more than one billion users are not.

Big fish always slip through legal net
An elderly woman and a young kid have been put behind bars for 10 years for laundering billions of dollars in two separate cases this year. Bravo! Our public prosecutors must be proud. A job well done. I have no doubt the two were guilty, but no one would seriously think they were anything other than small cogs in vast criminal schemes. In any case, it was suspected, but never shown, that all that money was dirty.
Sure, it's a lot of money, but both criminals received a pittance for their services. Under the Organised and Serious Crimes Ordinance, it's enough to prove beyond resonable doubt that the suspect dealt in property while "knowing or having reasonable grounds to believe" it was the proceeds of an indictable offence. Nothing more. Easy job.
If I were a prosecutor, I would sleep much better at night if I were going after the real masterminds - the billionaires and powerful people on the mainland or at least the middlemen - by appealing to mainland authorities for help in furthering probes into vast laundering conspiracies. But our prosecutors and law enforcement investigators appear to be satisfied with just catching the minnows.
That's certainly the impression director of public prosecutions Kevin Zervos SC gave in a letter to the Post this week. He wrote: "It is important to bear in mind that anti-money-laundering provisions act as a disincentive to commit crime by disgorging the illicit profits from the criminals and their associates."
He also said that as an international financial centre, Hong Kong is especially vulnerable to the laundering of dirty money from drug trafficking, prostitution and fraud. I can't argue with that.
But this is what gets me. Are we to think the people behind those two vast laundering schemes - assuming they exist - will be deterred? I think not. Most likely, they are laughing at those poor sods now sitting behind bars, while looking for other fools to further their dirty deeds.
We see the same pattern with our courts and prosecutors in drug smuggling cases. Heavy sentences are regularly imposed on drug mules while the real culprits get away. I have no problem with police and prosecutors sending foolish criminals to jail, as long as they make greater effort to go after the real masterminds. But do they?

Parents or teachers with an inkling their child or pupil might fit into the difficult-to-define ''gifted'' group are being encouraged to attend next month's annual National Association for Gifted Children conference in Queenstown.
The conference, on March 16, will feature talks on the intellectual, social and emotional needs of gifted children, and student workshops including robotics, marine science, maths, origami, poetry and the spoken word. Jilly O'Brien, of Hawea Flat, teaches programmes for the gifted at Mount Aspiring College in Wanaka and Cromwell College. She said as well as psychological tests for high intellectual ability, there was a range of other methods used in New Zealand to identify gifted children.
''You can be identified by an educational psychologist, by parents, by teachers, by your friends, by your iwi.
''It's really, really broad in New Zealand.''
It meant the term ''gifted'' did not just apply in an intellectual sense, but extended to children who were emotionally, culturally or creatively gifted, Mrs O'Brien said.
''If teachers are seeing it, parents are seeing it and the community of the kid sees it, then it's more likely to be accurate.
''You try and get as much information from as many sources as possible,'' she said.
A common approach was ''identification through provision'', in which teachers set tasks that challenged conceptual thinking.
Mrs O'Brien said statistics showed 80% of parents were correct in identifying their own child as gifted. Official identification of giftedness was not necessary for parents to attend the Queenstown conference.
''If parents are unsure or want to find out more about the whole gifted thing, then they are most welcome. They will meet like minds, make contacts and get a great deal of helpful information.''

Okay, now that everyone has had a chance to get into 5.2 and slaughter dinosaurs, what are you first impressions? How do you like the new zone and content?
And… if you're playing MM, how does the spec feel to you now?
Also worth noting, it's been reported that the Glyph of Chimera Shot is not working. With the buff in self-heal from Chimera Shot, hunters are reporting getting identical self-heals with or without the glyph.

Florida vs. Appalachian State, 12:30, pay-per-view, 620-AM
Having closed out the SEC season with a devastating loss at home to South Carolina, the Gators (6-4) try to regroup against an opponent that has already clinched its spot in the I-AA playoffs. It's senior day at Florida Field, which is always an emotional time. But the real question is whether the Gators will pick themselves up and move forward or simply shut down the remainder of the season? Appalachian State (9-1) and the Gators have never met, and this is the first game in the state of Florida for the Mountaineers since Nov. 24, 1962 — in Tampa.
what to watch FOR …
Whether Florida can get its offense back on track. For two weeks against Georgia and Vandy, UF seemed to have made progress with its three quarterbacks in an up-tempo system, but the offense fell apart against South Carolina. None of the QBs was effective, the offensive line couldn't contain the blitz and the running game was nonexistent. Was last week just a bad game or a sign that the changes were a temporary fix and really don't work? Appalachian State brings in one of the more prolific I-AA offenses: No. 4 scoring (37 points per game), No. 8 total offense (440.20) and No. 10 rushing offense (219.2), which has been UF's Achilles heel in its four losses.

You may remember that the woman who was stepped on by the Rand Paul supporter was working as an instigator for the MoveOn "Republicorp" project which tries to ridicule Republicans as lapdogs for business interests. Well those Republicorp activists are a busy group. And sometimes they are instigating the violence! Witness this encounter in Arizona:

|Not to be rude, but why do you guys care so much about the grades? Low self esteem? If ever there was a place where grades are subjective, the creek is it, so I can't imagine anyone would lend any credence to your claims of downgrading. Coyne crack was easier for me than No Name Crack. That doesn't mean that Coyne isn't 12 and No Name isn't a 10. Give your egos a rest and give some thought to why you climb; you might enjoy it more.

The ringlock section is made a lot easier by the number of footholds near the crack. Even if you have to hangdog to the hands section, this route is worth getting on. You'll probably cruise it on toprope.
I packed 1 .5 camalot, 2 .75 camalots, 2-3 #1 camalots, 1-2 #2 camalots, and 1 #3 camalot, although its not really necessary, since it goes in 4 feet below the chains. The chains are kind of inconvenient to get to, but its not a deal breaker. Bring long slings if you intend to toprope this climb.

|Good short route, but a terrible name. I don't know how many people I have heard say "I have done Coyne Crack Simulator, am I ready for Coyne Crack?" In my opinion, Scarface is a much better Coyne Crack Simulator than this one.

scarface? interesting choice. been ages since i have been on it, but it seems like steep start with big moves between good jams, to thin hands to perfect hands? i'd say that the climbing on CCS is more similar to CC, although infinitely shorter. i think you are right though, that scarface has components that would be useful for coyne crack.
maybe a good progression for somebody wanting to work up to coyne crack would be (?):
jane fondas workout, battle of the bulge wall (10c)
cave route, battle of the bulge wall (10d)
soul fire, optimator wall (10d/11a)
excuse station, res wall (11a)
rock lobster, broken tooth wall (11a/b)
pente, res wall (11a/b)
top sirloin, 2nd meat wall (11b)
fatted calf, sacred cow wall (11b)
thank god for pods, pods wall (11b)
way rambo, way rambo wall (11b/c)
heat searcher 2nd pitch, broken tooth wall (11c)
9 lives, cat wall (11c)
mad dog, cat wall (11c)
johnny cat, cat wall (11d)
i would think if somebody worked their way through these routes, they would be fairly prepared for an onsight attempt on coyne crack. curious to see what other people think, or what routes they would add to the list.

Actually think 5.10+ is an accurate Creek grade.

As an experiment I have recorded a short screencast on ImageX and published it to Soapbox. I recorded the screen capture using Media Encoder and then narrated the audio in Movie Maker. Overall the experience was very simple. This session is quite brief and covers several of the things I have written about in the past.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
My previous family decided they just didn't want me. Can't imagine why -- I'm a dynamite fellow, and I'm MIGHTY handsome. I love to snuggle with my people on the sofa and chase laser pointer dots on the floor, and I enjoy going for walks. My foster mom says I can be stubborn sometimes, and I'm a bit afraid of the dark, but I'm quite lovable. (I do that "stubborn thing" just to play mind games with her from time to time.)
I will need a traditional fenced yard. Kids would be great, and so would another canine buddy to play with. I'm intensely interested in cats and will chase them so no cats please. And no rabbits or chickens either. They're just too much fun to torment.
Want to take me home? I'd love to meet you.

Young Girl Survives Cardiac Arrest Because School Had Plan
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — Four years ago, Joe Quigley got the call that his 6-year-old daughter, Olivia, had suddenly collapsed at East Boston Central Catholic School after doing gym class warm-ups and running around playing ball with her first-grade classmates.
"You dread getting that phone call from the school. I remember every word," said Quigley, a 52-year-old stay-at-home father by day and a bartender by night. "I knew it wasn't just that she fell over and hurt her leg. It was something serious."
When Quigley arrived at the school, Olivia was lying on the floor surrounded by EMTs. He said the little girl, who had never been ill beyond the "usual coughs and colds," had suffered sudden cardiac arrest.
"At that point, she wasn't even stable enough to be moved," he said. "Initially, we were going to Children's Hospital, but they said this child wouldn't make it that far."
Olivia, who is now 10, survived because her school had a medical emergency response plan, and two teachers had rushed to her side to administer CPR.
The little girl has a healthy heart, but its electrical system is defective. She has catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or CPVT, which can trigger cardiac arrest.
"It can happen again at any time," said Quigley, who lives with his wife Cathy, Olivia, and 16-year-old son Alex in Winthrop, Mass. "All you can do is be prepared for it."
CPVT is characterized by episodes of fainting without having any structural deformities of the heart, according to Dr. Michael Gewitz, head of cardiology at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y.
"A lot of kids faint at one time in their life," said Gewitz. "The key is if they faint in the midst of either exercise or severe mental stress."
The underlying cause is the onset of fast ventricular tachychardia or arrhythmia. Spontaneous recovery may occur when the arrhythmia stops or it can degenerate into sudden death if cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not readily available.
According to the National Institutes of Health, CPVT is "highly lethal," causing death in 30 percent of all individuals who have had at least one episode and 80 percent of those who have had more spells.
Last year, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signed a law that requires all schools to have medical emergency response plans.
An estimated 250,000 Americans die each year of sudden cardiac arrest in schools, public places and at home. About 10 percent of all these events occur among people under the age of 40.
"I was completely unaware that her school had a plan," said Quigley. "It's not something I thought to ask, but I am so thankful they did."

Left-Leaning Research
89.3 KPCC Public Radio:
Remember, from math class, the number line? Smaller numbers on the left, bigger ones on the right?
This is Sandra Tsing Loh with the Loh Down on Science, saying don't worry, I won't ask you about absolute value.
But Dutch psychologist Anita Eerland might. She suspects people internalize the number line both mentally and physically.
So she and colleagues had subjects stand on a Wii balance board while answering questions projected on a screen. The questions? All estimating quantities: Height of the Eiffel Tower. Average lifespan of a parrot. Everyday stuff.
While subjects were answering, the team tilted the Wii board subtly left or right.
So no one suspected the tilt, they were told to maintain good posture as indicated by the screen–only it was rigged so people always seemed upright.
Turns out when leaning left, people's estimates were always smaller than when upright or leaning right.

Yes, Milone is mostly a product of his environment, taking advantage of the generous dimensions and foul ball territory that the O.co Coliseum provides. But fresh off a skipped start, followed by a five inning complete game on Tuesday night, Milone will make the rest of his starts either at the Coliseum or against the Twins or Mariners. In one fortuitous start, he'll face the Twins at home. Seriously though, Milone sports a 3.55 ERA when pitching at home, and the best offense he'll face the rest of the season is Tampa Bay in his next start. After Tampa he goes; vs. HOU, @ MIN, vs. LAA, vs. MIN, @ SEA. Murderer's Row they are not. This is all assuming he'll throw every fifth day, which isn't a given, but when dealing with deep leagues we can't always afford to be picky. —Craig Goldstein

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Behind senior Sebastian Cappelen's 20th career top 10 finish, the Arkansas men's golf team improved its score for the second straight round at the NCAA Championships, carding a final round one-under 279 to finish the 54 holes of stroke play in a tie for 18th place at Prairie Dunes Country Club.
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Behind senior Sebastian Cappelen's 20th career top 10 finish, the Arkansas men's golf team improved its score for the second straight round at the NCAA Championships, carding a final round one-under 279 to finish the 54 holes of stroke play in a tie for 18th place at Prairie Dunes Country Club.
After playing the first eight holes of their final round on Sunday afternoon before lightning halted play, the Razorbacks returned to the course on Monday to resume their round at 7:30 a.m. along with the other 14 teams in the wave. Arkansas started the final round in 24th place and was able to move into a tie for 18th thanks to its 279 being one of just six under-par team scores in the final round.
Arkansas' 18th place finish wasn't enough to advance into the eight-team match play field that will begin on Tuesday. The Razorbacks have advanced to match play once since it was started, finishing second in the format's first year in 2009.
"I'm really proud of the guys for battling until the end. Ultimately the slow start cost us, but the guys never hung their heads and they continued to believe they could make a run," Arkansas coach Brad McMakin said. "It's tough to see Sebastian play his final round as a Razorback. He has meant so much to our program on and off the course. He's got a very bright future ahead of him."
Fittingly, Cappelen finished his illustrious four-year career as a Razorback with an under-par round, the 54th of his career. Cappelen's two-under 68 in the final round was his second of the tournament, finishing off a 68-71-68/207 scorecard to tie for ninth place and earn All-American status for the fourth time. The Denmark native was Arkansas' low-man all three rounds, carding 12 birdies to bring his career total to 441.
"I'm going to take a lot away from being a Razorback," Cappelen said following his 144th round as a Razorback. "Arkansas is a special place and I can't thank my coaches, teammates and everyone I've come in contact with over my four years enough for an amazing experience."
During the spring season and especially in postseason play, Arkansas got a good look at the future of its program in its three-member sophomore class of Kolton Crawford, Taylor Moore and Nicolas Echavarria. Coming off a fifth place finish at the Columbia Regional, Crawford turned in a final round even-par 70 to finish in a tie for 69th place. Crawford carded 11 birdies over his three-round score of 215 (74-71-70), marking the sixth time in the last seven events he's had double figure birdies. Crawford shot 75 or lower in all nine rounds at the SEC Championship, NCAA Regionals and NCAA Championships.
Moore's 17th round this year at par or lower came in the final round, as he equaled Crawford's even-par 70. A PING All-Central Region honoree, Moore finished his sophomore campaign with a counting score in 25 straight rounds thanks to a 75-72-70/217 three-round total that earned him a share of 82nd place. Moore turned in a sensational spring that featured a 71.5 scoring average and five top 15 finishes.
Echavarria played the first 13 holes of his final round bogey-free before turning in the fourth counting score with a one-over 71. Like all four of his teammates, Echavarria's lowest round at the tournament came in the final round as he tied for 89th position (75-72-71). A year removed from finishing 13th at the 2013 NCAA Championships as a freshman, Echavarria has now turned in a counting score in 14 of 15 rounds of postseason play in his career.
Playing in his first event of the spring, senior Blake Biddle capped his one-year career as a Razorback with a 73. A transfer from UNLV, Biddle made his first NCAA Championships appearance, but had a pair of top 10s at NCAA Regionals as a freshman and sophomore. He tied for 141st place with rounds of 76, 79 and 73.
Arkansas Lineup
T9. Sebastian Cappelen – 68-71-68/207 (-3)
T69. Kolton Crawford – 74-71-70/215
T82. Taylor Moore – 75-72-70/217
T89. Nicolas Echavarria – 75-71-71/218
T141. Blake Biddle – 76-79-73/228

I absolutely love this hair it came very fast and it's very soft . It will last long if you take care of the hair . I did dye this hair a darker black to match my hair color .
Beautiful hair, very comfortable to wear and isn't shinny enough that I feel like I have to wear a hat to pull it off.I will buy more hairs from this vendor in the future.
I read all the reviews first, and I am glad that I did. I bought two of the same color instead of just one, to make it look fuller and the color pop more. I am really glad I did too, because with just one in you can barely see the piece.
Thank you for the bundles there nice full and true too length and it came on time.
You're reviewing: 14" #Blue Straight Micro Loop Human Hair Extensions [MRHSTJ140A]
Twist a small piece of your own hair for attaching the hair extensions.
Let this small piece of your own hair go through the plastic loop.
Hold the micro ring and pull the big end of the plastic loop until your own piece of hair can go through the micro ring. At this moment, the plastic loop should be completely free from the micro ring and hair extensions.
Pull the micro ring up to about 0.8cm to 1cm from scalp.
Grip the micro ring by pliers and the hair extensions is now firmly applied on..
After doing the middle clip, you can then attach the two end clips. There you are - more hair in just a snap!
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.

FUNNY girl Sally Phillips has told how filming Miranda frequently left her co-star battered and bruised.
The Smack The Pony star said Miranda Hart had to scale back her awkward character's slip-ups while filming the third series of the hit sitcom.
Sally said: "She gets a lot of injuries during filming. She is constantly nosediving on to the floor! Thankfully she didn't get injured while filming this season – but I think she was very careful this time.
"There were crash-mats everywhere, stunt co-ordinators, and Miranda only fell over when the cameras were rolling."
Sally – who plays Miranda's posh pal Tilly and is pictured here in a scene from the new series – admitted she loves how her lines are littered with quirky sayings.
Expressions like "Bear with, bear with", which Tilly says every time she has a text, have become commonplace.
Sally said: "I love Tilly. She is based on a really extreme kind of Eurotrash Sloane type. I love the language.
"But we had to tone it down a bit in this series, I wasn't allowed to go as insane as normal because we've moved on to BBC1.
"However, she is still saying ridiculous things. We all start doing it by the end of filming – it can take a few months to stop."

There's nothing like a good surprise.
Surprise jewelry, hockey tickets, visits from loved ones are all day-makers in my book.
There are also situations in which I would not prefer a surprise: doctor appointments, odd sensations on my bare feet when walking in the dark and the contents of food.
On that last one, I know I am not alone because, if I were, "mystery meat" would be a delicacy.
I've recently come across a few ingredients in very common foods that have surprised even an amateur food anthropologist like myself, and they've caused me to exclaim …
"There's WHAT in WHAT?"
"Ingredients" like arsenic.
No longer reserved for plays ending in "Old Lace," arsenic has found its way into 88 percent of the chicken grown for human consumption, based on a 2010 statistic.
Two drugs – both marketed by the world's largest pharmaceutical company, Pfizer – are responsible for the unsavory substance added to our marsalas and cordon bleus: roxarsone and nitarsone. While Pfizer voluntarily removed roxarsone from the market in 2011, the Food and Drug Administration has still failed to ban it, and neither organization has made a "peep" about addressing the use of nitarsone.
If the FDA and a major pharmaceutical company are going to bother feeding us such garbage, there must be a good reason, right? Nope. Just greed.
Nitarsone is used to increase weight gain and improve feed efficiency in chickens, improve the pigmentation of meat (to make more appealing to consumers) and prevent one specific type of parasite. That parasite, by the way, is curable and nonlethal.
That would be a nonlethal parasite fought with arsenic – a known carcinogen associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cognitive deficits and adverse pregnancy outcomes, in case you were counting your chicks before they were hatched.
A is for arsenic and … ammonia.
Glass bottles of Coca-Cola may be one of the most iconic symbols of American culture, and who can properly enjoy a Superbowl without the newest Pepsi commercial?
However, the "caramel coloring" that gives the colas their signature hue doesn't have the sugary sweet roots the name might imply.
Rather than coming from natural, ewwy-gooey caramel at the bottom of grandma's pot, it comes from a chemical process involving ammonia – a process which does not destroy the ammonia and does result in consumption of the chemical.
This chemical is, of course, considered safe by the FDA.
Sunny California is making the world a better place for all of us, however, since it passed a law earlier this year requiring soda companies to lower the level of the dreaded 4-methylimidazole (sounds a lot different than "caramel coloring," huh?) in order to be sold in the state.
Coca-Cola Co. has since changed its formula throughout the country, while PepsiCo Inc. products still test positive for the chemical outside the state of California, according to The Center for Environmental Health. Pepsi pledges that the entire country will be 4-meth-free by February 2014.
The caramel coloring is listed as a known carcinogen based on animal studies only, which has the American Beverage Association totally miffed at the powers that be in Cali.
Seriously, California, how dare you take offense to carcinogenic food coloring. Tightwads.
The last bit of insanity that has garnered a death-stare from me lately is the presence of artificial sweeter … in everything.
Believe it or not, I love diet pop. Diet Cherry 7UP is the champagne of all things fizzy and diet, and the orange Vitamin Water Zero accompanies the breakfast of champions.
However, as a pregnant woman, (you heard me!) I'm operating under a strict no artificial sweetener policy. Have you any idea how difficult that is?
You can pretty much forget any chewing gum impulse buy in the checkout line, and make sure to read every single ingredient on the back of any drink whatsoever, even seemingly full-calorie quenchers.
The avoidance of artificial sweetener also earns you extra reading time when it comes to cooking sauces, yogurts, cereals and more.
Even once the the teeny Mackey makes his appearance, the road to protecting his developing nervous system from these chemicals is far from over.
Flinstones vitamins and children's liquid medicines are extra tasty due to artificial sweeteners, in addition to a variety of food dyes.
In our kids' vitamins? Really?
Consumption of artificial sweeteners should be our choice, not substances hidden in everyday nondiet foods that are accidentally consumed unless you read every ingredient, all the time.
Here's the point: If a Mr. Yuk sticker belongs on the substance, it probably doesn't have a place in our food supply.
