Musei Vaticani (Vatican Museums)
Musei Vaticani (Vatican Museums) Review
Other than the pope and his papal court, the occupants of the Vatican are some of the most famous artworks in the world. The museums that contain them are part of the Vatican Palace, residence of the popes since 1377. The palace consists of an estimated 1,400 rooms, chapels, and galleries. The pope and his household occupy only a small part of the palace; most of the rest is given over to the Vatican Library and Museums. Beyond the glories of the Sistine Chapel, the collection is so extraordinarily rich you may just wish to skim the surface, but few will want to miss out on the great antique sculptures, Raphael Rooms, and the Old Master paintings, such as Leonardo da Vinci's St. Jerome.
Subsidiary Museums
Among the collections on the way to the chapel, the Egyptian Museum (in which Room II reproduces an underground chamber tomb of the Valley of Kings) is well worth a stop. The Chiaramonti Museum was organized by the Neoclassical sculptor Canova and contains almost 1,000 copies of classical sculpture. The gems of the Vatican's sculpture collection are in the Pio-Clementino Museum, however. Just off the hall in Room X, you can find the Apoxyomenos (Scraper), a beautiful 1st-century AD copy of the famous bronze statue of an athlete. There are other even more famous pieces in the Octagonal Courtyard, where Pope Julius II installed the pick of his private collection. On the left stands the celebrated Apollo Belvedere. In the far corner, on the same side of the courtyard, is the Laocoön group. Found on Rome's Esquiline Hill in 1506, this antique sculpture group influenced Renaissance artists perhaps more than any other.
In the Hall of the Muses, the Belvedere Torso occupies center stage: This is a fragment of a 1st-century BC statue, probably of Hercules, all rippling muscles and classical dignity, much admired by Michelangelo. The lovely Neoclassical room of the Rotonda has an ancient mosaic pavement and a huge porphyry basin from Nero's palace.
The room on the Greek-cross plan contains two fine porphyry sarcophagi (burial caskets), one for St. Constantia and one for St. Helena, daughter and mother of the emperor Constantine, respectively.
Upstairs is an Etruscan Museum, an Antiquarium, with Roman originals; and the domed Sala della Biga, with an ancient chariot. In addition, there are the Candelabra Gallery and the Tapestry Gallery, with tapestries designed by Raphael's students. The incredibly long Gallery of Maps, frescoed with 40 maps of Italy and the papal territories, was commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII in 1580. Nearby is the Apartment of Pius V.
The Raphael Rooms
Rivaling the Sistine Chapel for artistic interest—and for the number of visitors—are the recently-restored Stanze di Raffaello (Raphael Rooms). Pope Julius II moved into this suite in 1507, four years after his election. Reluctant to continue living in the Borgia apartments downstairs, with their memories of his ill-famed predecessor Alexander VI, he called in Raphael to decorate his new quarters. When people talk about the Italian High Renaissance—thought to be the very pinnacle of Western art—it's probably Raphael's frescoes they're thinking about.
The Stanza della Segnatura, the first to be frescoed, was painted almost entirely by Raphael himself (his assistants painted much of the other rooms). The theme of the room, which may broadly be said to be "enlightenment," reflects the fact that this was meant to be Julius's private library. Instead, it was used mainly as a room for signing documents, hence "segnatura" (signature). Theology triumphs in the fresco known as the Disputa, or Debate on the Holy Sacrament, on the wall in front of you as you enter. Opposite, the School of Athens glorifies philosophy in its greatest exponents. Plato (likely a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci), in the center, debates a point with Aristotle. The pensive, gloomy figure on the stairs is thought to be modeled after Michelangelo, who was painting the Sistine ceiling at the same time Raphael was working here. Michelangelo does not appear in preparatory drawings, so Raphael may have added his fellow artist's portrait after admiring his work. In the foreground on the right, the figure with the compass is Euclid, depicted as the architect Bramante; on the far right, the handsome youth just behind the white-clad older man is Raphael himself. Over the window on the left is Mt. Parnassus, the abode of the Muses, with Apollo, famous poets (many of them likenesses of Raphael's contemporaries), and the Muses themselves. In the lunette over the window opposite, Raphael painted figures representing and alluding to the Cardinal and Theological Virtues, and subjects showing the establishment of written codes of law. Beautiful personifications of the four subject areas, Theology, Poetry, Philosophy, and Jurisprudence, are painted in circular pictures on the ceiling above.
However, the rooms aren't arranged chronologically. Today, for crowd-management purposes, you head down an outdoor gallery to loop back through them; as you go, look across the way to see, very far away, the Pinecone Courtyard near where you entered the museums. The first "Raphael Room" is the Hall of Constantine— actually decorated by Giulio Romano and Raphael's other assistants after the master's untimely death in 1520. The frescoes represent various scenes from the life of Emperor Constantine, including the epic-sized Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Guided by three low-flying angels, Constantine charges to victory as his rival Maxentius drowns in the river below.
The Room of Heliodorus is a private antechamber. Working on the theme of Divine Providence's miraculous intervention in defense of the faith, Raphael depicted Leo the Great's encounter with Attila; it's on the wall in front of you as you enter. The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple of Jerusalem, opposite, refers to Pope Julius II's attempt to exert papal power to expel the French from Italy. The pope himself appears on the left, watching the scene. On the window wall, the Liberation of St. Peter is one of Raphael's best-known and most effective works.
After the Room of the Signature, the last room is the Room of the Borgo Fire. The final room painted in Raphael's lifetime, it was executed mainly by Giulio Romano, who worked from Raphael's drawings for the new pope, Leo X. It was used for the meetings of the Segnatura Gratiae et Iustitiae, the Holy See's highest court. The frescoes depict stories of previous popes called Leo, the best of them showing the great fire in the Borgo (the neighborhood between the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo) that threatened to destroy the original St. Peter's Basilica in AD 847; miraculously, Pope Leo IV extinguished it with the sign of the cross. The other frescoes show the coronation of Charlemagne by Leo III in St. Peter's Basilica, the Oath of Leo III, and a naval battle with the Saracens at Ostia in AD 849, after which Pope Leo IV showed clemency to the defeated.
The tiny Chapel of Nicholas V is rarely open. But if you can access it, do: One of the Renaissance's greatest gems, it's aglow with Fra Angelico (1395–1455) frescoes of episodes from the life of St. Stephen and St. Lawrence. If it weren't under the same roof as Raphael's and Michelangelo's works, it would undoubtedly draw greater attention.
Downstairs, enter the recently restored Borgia apartments, where some of the Vatican's most fascinating historical figures are depicted on elaborately painted ceilings. Pinturicchio designed the frescoes at the end of the 15th century, though the paintings were greatly retouched in later centuries. It's generally believed that Cesare Borgia murdered his sister Lucrezia's husband, Alphonse of Aragon, in the Room of the Sibyl. In the Room of the Saints, Pinturicchio painted his self-portrait in the figure to the left of the possible portrait of the architect Antonio da Sangallo. (His profession is made clear by the fact that he holds a T-square.) The lovely St. Catherine of Alexandria is said to represent Lucrezia Borgia herself.
In the frescoed exhibition halls, the Vatican Library displays precious illuminated manuscripts and documents from its vast collections. The Aldobrandini Marriage Room contains beautiful ancient frescoes of a Roman nuptial rite, named for their subsequent owner, Cardinal Aldobrandini. The Braccio Nuovo (New Wing) holds an additional collection of ancient Greek and Roman statues, the most famous of which is the Augustus of Prima Porta, in the fourth niche from the end on the left. It's considered a faithful likeness of the emperor Augustus, who was 40 years old at the time. Note the workmanship in the reliefs on his armor.
The Vatican Pinacoteca
Equally celebrated are the works on view in the Pinacoteca (Picture Gallery). These often world-famous paintings, almost exclusively of religious subjects, are arranged in chronological order, beginning with works of the 12th and 13th centuries. Room II has a marvelous Giotto triptych, painted on both sides, which formerly stood on the high altar in the old St. Peter's. In Room III you'll see Madonnas by the Florentine 15th-century painters Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi. Room VIII contains some of Raphael's greatest creations, including the exceptional Transfiguration, the Coronation of the Virgin, and the Foligno Madonna, as well as the tapestries that Raphael designed to hang in the Sistine Chapel. The next room contains Leonardo's beautiful (though unfinished) St. Jerome and a Bellini Pietà. A highlight for many is Caravaggio's gigantic Deposition, in Room XII. In the courtyard outside the Pinacoteca you can admire a beautiful view of the dome of St. Peter's, as well the reliefs from the base of the now-destroyed column of Antoninus Pius. A fitting finale to your Vatican visit can be found in the Museo Pio Cristiano (Museum of Christian Antiquities), where the most famous piece is the 3rd-century AD statue called the Good Shepherd, much reproduced as a devotional image.

Physician Assistant > Future Students > PA Profession
Physician Assistants (PAs) are health professionals who practice medicine as members of a team with their supervising physician. They are nationally certified and licensed by individual states. They bring a breadth of knowledge and skills to patient care. As healthcare providers, PAs deliver a broad range of medical and surgical services to diverse populations in rural, urban and suburban settings.
The role of a physician assistant varies with training, experience and state law. In general, the scope of the PA's practice corresponds to that of the supervising physician's practice. Physician Assistants are employed in essentially every medical and surgical specialty and subspecialty in which physicians are employed. About 36 percent of physician assistants work in primary care, (i.e., family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and women's health). PAs can be found in hospitals, clinics, offices and other settings, obtaining histories, performing physical exams, ordering various diagnostic tests, interpreting the results, diagnosing and treating illnesses, counseling and educating patients, assisting in surgery and prescribing medications.
Careers in the Field
Approximately 87 percent of the graduates of the Saint Louis University Physician Assistant Program are active in practice as physician assistants within the following disciplines:
Primary Care
(General Internal medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Women's Health)
General Surgery and Surgery Subspecialties
Emergency Medicine
Internal Medicine Subspecialties
Pediatrics Subspecialties
Among those Saint Louis University Physician Assistant Program alumni who are not in active clinical practice as physician assistants are administrators, educators, physicians, attorneys, pharmaceutical representatives and members of other health related occupations.
(Source: AAPA Census Report, 2010)
Both the job outlook and starting PA salaries are excellent. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the number of PA jobs will increase more than 39 percent by the year 2018. The median starting salary for a new graduate, based on data from 2010 is approximately $77,000.

Gold boy
The Crossbody Boy Chanel bag is probably one of the most popular bags nowadays. I'm also dreaming about it for a long time, but to be honestely, who can really afford it? Me unfortunately, not. So looking for the similar one at the online shops i foind this beauty on Chicnova. It looks so amazing with my favorite combination of black and gold. What do you think about more affordable "copies" of the pricy designer bags?

General Growth Properties (GGP) has an idea for an economic stimulus plan: Let's all hang out at the mall! GGP is the country's #2 mall operator, behind Simon Property Group. The self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) has a portfolio that includes more than 145 regional shopping malls (some 135 million sq. ft. of space) in major US markets. GGP also has properties in Brazil. The company owns, manages, leases, and redevelops its malls, which generate more than $500 per square foot in sales each year. Some of GGP's shopping locations include Ala Moana Center in Honolulu and Fashion Show in Las Vegas. Top tenants include L Brands, Abercrombie & Fitch, Macy's, and The Gap.
Geographic Reach
GGP owns regional malls, either entirely or through joint venture partnerships. Altogether, its about 145 regional malls comprise 126 domestic locations and the balance in Brazil.
Financial Performance
GGP's revenue dropped some 8% in fiscal 2012 as compared to 2011 due to its Rouse Properties' spinoff, which consisted of a 30-mall portfolio. The REIT also posted a net loss increase of 54% during the same reporting period, thanks to a more than $500 million Warrant liability adjustment expense (related to the increase in the company's stock price in 2011 as compared to $55 million income related to the decrease in its stock price in 2010).
As a REIT, the trust is exempt from paying federal income tax as long as it distributes quarterly dividends to shareholders.
GGP is focused on building its portfolio of Class A regional malls. To this end, the REIT in mid-2013 inked a deal with TIAA-CREF to own and operate Las Vegas's The Grand Canal Shoppes and The Shoppes at the Palazzo. The former generates more than $1,000 of sales per square foot.
It also is selling non-core assets to raise capital and pay off debt. The company's strategy is to create value among its existing portfolio by redeveloping and expanding properties. Another element of GGP's growth strategy is improving its balance sheet. The economic environment of low interest rates allowed it to receive better mortgage terms on its properties.
GGP revamped itself in recent years by splitting into two companies. GGP hung on to its portfolio of mall and retail space, while a new publicly traded company, The Howard Hughes Corporation, took over its portfolio of planned communities and other real estate assets with development potential over the long term. GGP paid the heirs of the late American entrepreneur Howard Hughes $230 million to settle a dispute over the Summerlin planned community in Las Vegas, and in return named the new spun off company after him. Executives from Brookfield Asset Management and Pershing Square Capital Management are in charge of The Howard Hughes Corporation.
GGP spun off about half of its mid-tier properties as it continued to restructure in 2012. It created Rouse Properties to own about 30 malls in noncore markets. The Rouse name is a nod to The Rouse Company, an upscale retail REIT acquired by GGP in 2004. The properties are regional malls with lower rents in locations such as Farmington, New Mexico; Springfield, Oregon; and Hayward, California.
Mergers and Acquisitions
The company continues to grow through strategic acquisitions. GGP hopes to take advantage of opportunities and benefit from increased consumer spending. In 2011 GGP (along with Canada Pension Plan) acquired an interest in Plaza Frontenac, a luxury mall in St. Louis. That year GGP also bought several anchor store locations in Las Vegas and Chicago. In 2012 GGP acquired about a dozen Sears stores for $270 million. The deal helped boost GGP's portfolio value and is in line with redevelopment and expansion plans.
The economic downturn, which impacted the commercial real estate industry, hurt GGP. After struggling to handle debt levels of more than $25 billion, GGP filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early 2009 and represented one of the largest of its kind. It emerged the following year. GGP was able to exit bankruptcy after it restructured some $15 billion in debt and received nearly $7 billion in new equity from several investors including Canadian firm Brookfield Asset Management and hedge fund Pershing Capital. The Teacher Retirement System of Texas and the Blackstone Group also invested in GGP.

Effects of High TSH on Thyroid Function
The endocrine system is a complex and interrelated system that produces endocrine secretions that help in controlling the metabolism in the body. Endocrine secretions are known as hormones, and these are transmitted by the blood to relevant tissues.
The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. The hypothalamus in the brain produces a thyroid release hormone (TRH), which is transmitted to the anterior pituitary through the bloodstream to increase or decrease the release of TSH. The TSH stimulates the thyroid and initiates the production of the thyroid hormones.
Initially, thyroid problems were diagnosed by studying the basal metabolic rate, the rate at which the body burns energy when an individual is resting. Cholesterol levels and creatine phosphokinase were also studied to arrive at the typical thyroid conditions that may be ailing the body. With the passage of time newer tests became more prevalent. As radioiodine became available, its uptake by the thyroid was said to be the most reliable method of judging thyroid conditions. Later, protein bound iodine became the only necessary test. Testing the level of thyroxine was the next test that gained popularity. Ultimately, testing TSH levels in the blood became the 'gold standard' for diagnosing thyroid dysfunction.
The level of thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine, (T3) has a countervailing effect on the pituitary gland. High levels of thyroid hormones are a signal to the pituitary to release lesser TSH and the other way round. A high level of TSH is thus considered to be an indication of a thyroid condition known as hypothyroidism or an under-active thyroid.
This is actually a simplistic explanation and cannot be considered as being the final word on the subject. The fact is that diagnosing thyroid problems can be a pretty demanding job for a physician. Many times, people have all the symptoms of a particular thyroid condition but the blood levels of TSH are within the acceptable range. High levels of TSH do have an effect on the production of thyroid hormones, but only at extreme levels. TSH levels thus have to be read along with the symptoms of an individual. The level of free thyroxine also needs to be taken into consideration as almost 80% of it is converted to triiodothyronine. Sometimes the acceptable range of TSH level in the blood has to be recalculated.
To sum up, the effect of high level of TSH may be treated as an indication, but is not on its own a conclusive proof of under-active thyroid.

QT: chapter about & blog
The Florida Chapter was officially established in November 1995. Recognizing the growing music industry in South Florida, The Recording Academy chose Miami Beach as its Florida headquarters. The Chapter is an integral part of the region's music industry, expanding its presence throughout a state that has one of the most diverse, talented, and fastest-growing music communities in the country.
The Florida Chapter office is located on Lincoln Road in the restored Albion Hotel in the heart of Miami Beach's historic Art Deco District. The office is conveniently located near many of Florida's music companies including major and independent record labels, publishers, performing rights organizations, and music television networks. In a growing trend, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville, Jacksonville, and other areas of the state are being recognized, both nationally and internationally, as active music centers crossing many genres. Historically significant recording studios join with the large number of well-known local artists, songwriters, producers, and engineers to further strengthen the state's musical scene.
Since its inception, the Florida Chapter has developed programming to reach its diverse membership throughout Florida and Puerto Rico. In the past, the Florida Chapter held or participated in events in Ft. Lauderdale; Gainesville; Miami; Miami Beach; Orlando; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Tampa; and West Palm Beach.
Florida Chapter programs consist of professional education and networking opportunities along with other events geared toward the music community. These events include panel discussions held to provide information on the current status of specific topics within the music industry. The events are aimed toward both industry professionals and developing newcomers and unite the membership in meetings of current and future friends and artistic partners. Also in the mix is the Chapter's new talent recognition event, Florida GRAMMY Showcase, which has become an annual spotlight on emerging artists in the area.
Student education is also a priority, and in conjunction with the GRAMMY Foundation, the Florida Chapter also presents GRAMMY Camp – Basic Training, an annual event for local high school music students. This year, the program was presented in Miami at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music.

For once, Chris Harrison actually came through when he promised the "most dramatic finale yet."
This week, "Bachelorette" Desiree Hartsock took the final 3 men on overnight dates in Antigua. Unfortunately, her Fantasy Suite date with Brooks turned into a reality TV nightmare.
Why is it that the contestants from Salt Lake City (Bentley Williams, Brooks Forester, and Michelle Money) always seem to cause so much trouble? Meanwhile, the contestants from Seattle always seem to be the safe-choice runner-ups? (Chris Siegfried, Jason Mesnick, and Lindzi Cox).
Drew Wants To Have "Good Mornings"
Desiree's date with Drew began when he pranced over to her in Betty's Hope. I always laugh every time she and Drew kiss. The way he tries to force physical passion, combined with her heavy kissing style really seems contrived.
In any case, Des and Drew spent the day mingling with the locals at Shirley Heights. Later, after the rain washed out their beach side dinner, they decided to seek shelter in the Fantasy Suite. As they sipped champagne and ate cake on a rose-petaled bed, Des talked about how Drew makes her feel "like a princess."
Drew talked about how he was ready to get down on one knee right away, and how he looked forward to their time in the Fantasy Suite. He talked about how he wanted to have "good mornings" with her as well as "good nights."
In his best manly voice, Drew politely shooed the camera crew away, telling them, "all right, guys, time to leave."
Brooks Can't Cross That Bridge
Brooks was having doubts about his feelings for Desiree. Seeing him walking to the middle of a bridge before stopping was quite symbolic of his feelings. He just couldn't take that next step from "like" to "love."
A conversation with his mother and sister helped him to realize that he needed to break up with Des. If he wasn't feeling it, then she deserved to know the truth.
Chris S. Is "Falling Forward"
Meanwhile, Des and Chris S. spent a romantic date in Barbuda Island. Des loved how "supportive" he's been all season, and pointed out that even on group dates, he always found a way to connect with her.
After a toast to "falling forward," Chris initiated a conversation about "The Future." He talked about there were "opportunities" to raise a family in Seattle, and asked if she would be ready to move.
Although she considered LA her home, she was also willing to make "sacrifices" for love. Why does the woman always have to move to be with the man? To his credit though, he did point out that love was a two-way street, and that there would be compromises on both sides.
After yet another round of poetry, Matt White sang them out, as they made their way to the Fantasy Suite.
Harrison Plays Psychologist
Later, Chris Harrison paid a visit to Brooks. After Brooks discussed some of his concerns, Harrison played armchair psychologist, asking him if he was ready to fall in love at all. He even asked if his parents' divorce had prompted his inability to commit.
Really? Guys are not afraid to commit. If they're truly into you, then they're not going to let their parents' divorce or other issues get in the way.
I have to give Brooks a bit of credit. Instead of hiding behind "issues" or "fear of commitment," he was honest enough to admit that he wasn't in love with Des, and that she wasn't the one. We can't fault him for that.
He's Just Not That Into You
Brooks seemed to have the right intentions. He wanted to break it off in order to protect her from getting hurt later on. But he did fumble in his execution of the breakup.
There are two things that I've learned about how to handle breakups: don't ask or try to over-explain, and don't try to be the one to comfort the dumpee.
Every time Brooks tried to explain himself, he only ended up talking in circles. Breakups are difficult enough. Why prolong the process? What he should have done was simply explained that while he cared about her, he wasn't in love with her. Then, he should have wished her the best, and walked away.
It really sends a mixed message when the dumper tries to comfort the dumpee. She just got dumped on national television by a guy she's been in love with from the beginning. And he still has to ask, "why are you crying?" I'm wondering if all that hair product has affected his cognitive faculties.
As for Des, Ashley Spivey said it best when she tweeted, "Girl you need to learn the @AliFedotowsky - pretty cry and WALK AWAY. #bachelorette"
Is There a "Finish Line" In Sight for Desiree?
If Desiree ends up with Brooks next week, then I will be very disappointed.
To take him back after he spent 40 minutes explaining how he didn't love her would show a lack of self-respect. Where's Nate Hartsock when you need him?
Even if Brooks has a change of heart and returns next week, there is no guarantee that he won't bail again. If he's not feeling it now, then no amount of time is going to change that. If Brooks proposes to her, it will be out guilt, fear, obligation, or possible producer manipulation.
From his mannerisms, to his mumbling voice, Brooks has always come across as a bit of a wimp. Seeing him cry like a baby over a broken finger earlier this season makes me wonder how he would handle other challenging life situations, especially if his mother and sister aren't around to fend for him.
Brooks is not "finish line" material, at least not for Des.
Unfortunately, it looks like Desiree will probably take him back next week. Even after last night's episode, spoiler king Reality Steve is still convinced that Des is engaged to Brooks. After crying about how she only loved Brooks and how she didn't want to "share her heart," how could she possibly be in the position to give Chris or Drew a chance?
Also, although we saw Brooks step into the exit limo, we never actually saw the limo drive away.
In any case, I will be very interested to see what happens next week, in part 2 of the "most dramatic finale in history."

Review by Will O'Bryan
A PERFECTLY FITTING summary statement of Three Veils might be, ''Oh, God.'' After all, the movie gets pretty religious. Qurans will be kissed. Prayer mats will be placed. It's also fitting, however, in that some moments might make you uncomfortable enough that the utterance is simply reflexive.
Writer-director Rolla Selbak opens her Los Angeles story with one of her three veils, Leila, played by the model-gorgeous Mercedes Masöhn. She is the pretty, good girl, soon to be wed in an arranged marriage. And she remains the good girl, even if she quizzically forgoes a surprise bachelorette party while finding time to run over to the home of the cute boy she barely knows for some sympathetic and tearful spooning.
As dull Leila's story nearly comes to an end, we realize the gimmick: three veils, three women, and Leila's co-characters, Nikki the wounded bad girl, and Amira the pious lesbian, are going to get just as much real estate. We get the backstories, the current dilemmas, the Middle Eastern culture. We get it all. And it's an awfully big falafel to swallow.
Looking just at the story, we're left wondering why a mother would entrust the uncle that molested her to care for her daughter for a summer, then be surprised when exactly what she expects will happen does. Or why the painfully closeted girl doesn't get herself to the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. It's huge! If these are simply cultural differences, then this is not a film for non-Middle Eastern audiences. If there was an intention of explaining these characters' motivations to ''Westerners,'' Three Veils falls short.
It's hard to care much for the two-dimensional pretty girl. The lesbian's resolution seems simply sad. And bad girl Nikki really just needed some readily available family counseling.
Sheetal Sheth, as Nikki, also could've used a bit more inspiration. It's hard not to laugh after she warns, ''You can't mess up your life for a fuck-up like me.'' It's an old episode of Hotel and Morgan Fairchild is the prostitute screaming, ''I'm a trash can!''
When lesbian Amira (Angela Zahra) takes over, you can hear the direction in your head: ''Be blander! Angela, we need more bland.'' It's either that or, ''Cry! Big, heaping sobs.''
All in all, Three Veils comes across as Al Jazeera English meets Lifetime Television meets a Salvation Army pamphlet on the evils of demon liquor. If ever it's retooled, following one character alone – not Leila – might help this ship float.

Take a look at some of Friday's early movers ahead of the market open:
McGraw-Hill - McGraw-Hill has joined the parade of companies declaring special dividends. It will pay $2.50 per share on Dec. 27 to shareholders of record on Dec. 18. Other special dividends this morning include Tree.com, American Financial Group, and Universal Health. In addition, the board of hospital operator HCA has approved a previously announced special dividend.
Enbridge - Enbridge has increased its quarterly dividend by 12 percent to 31 1/2 cents per share. The pipeline operator has also announced 2013 earnings per share (EPS) guidance of$1.74 to $1.90 per share, above estimates of $1.64 a share.
Cooper Cos. - Cooper earned $1.47 per share, excluding certain items, for its latest quarter, below estimates of $1.55 a share. Revenue for the maker of contact lenses and medical instruments also was slightly below consensus, although its profits were up 27 percent from a year earlier.
Cablevision - The cable operator is increasing the price of its high speed Internet service by $5 per month in 2013 in what it says is its first increase in a decade.
Washington Post Co. - The media giant is planning to institute a paywall in 2013, according to The Wall Street Journal, after resisting such a move for the past few years. The Journal says it's likely to be a metered paywall, providing casual readers with a limited number of free stories each month.
Palo Alto Networks - Palo Alto reported quarterly earnings of $0.04 per share, excluding certain items, one cent above estimates, with revenue also above forecasts. However, gross margins shrunk and operating expenses soared by 83 percent for the maker of computer network security products.
C.H. Robinson Worldwide - The company has increased its quarterly dividend by two cents to $0.35 per share. The company is a provider of transportation services around the world.
Netflix - The video rental service has received a Wells Notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, with the agency investigating whether a Facebook posting by CEO Reed Hastings violated the agency's Regulation FD. The posting mentioned Netflix monthly viewing had exceeded a billion hours for the first time.
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia - The company is shutting down its Whole Living magazine after attempts to sell it failed. The contents of the magazine, which focuses on healthy eating, will be folded into the flagship Martha Stewart Living publication.
Linear Technology - Linear has raised its quarterly dividend by one cent to $0.26 per share, marking the 21st-consecutive year that the maker of integrated circuits has raised its dividend. The company also is accelerating the latest payout into December, ahead of anticipated higher tax rates.
Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard - NPD reports videogame sales fell 11 percent in November, although Activision's "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" was the top-selling game last month.
McDonald's - The restaurant chain's shares have been upgraded to "buy" from "neutral" at Janney Capital.
Fiserv - Jefferies has initiated coverage on the provider of financial services technology solutions with a "buy" rating, noting an increased market share of Internet banking and bill paying, as well as being able to exploit the consumer shift to mobile banking.

Duo look back to last Christmas
A year has made marked differences to both Newcastle United and Manchester City. The winter where 2011 turned into 2012 was a time for rising hope. Newcastle were playing the type of football their fans celebrate, and their players were being watched with covetous eyes. It was Mike Ashley's crazy plan but it might just have been working.
City were champions-elect, coming off the back of a free-scoring autumn, and hunkering down for a Christmas period that was not without error but by no means disastrous. They were still clearly the best team in the country. In mid-December of 2012, neither look as happy as they did back then.
Both have suffered losses of form, niggling injuries to key players and are rueing unsatisfactory transfer business. In different fashions, both have been harmed by European ventures. Newcastle may have qualified for the next stage of the Europa League but a squad short on personnel has been stretched to breaking point. City did not even qualify for the Europa League, having posted the worst ever performance of England's champions in the Champions League, and that failure has created visible cracks, one of which Roberto Mancini might be falling through if he cannot retain the Premier League title.
Mancini is not a man to hide his anxiety away. In last week's defeat to United, his touchline presence was often one of barely concealed rage. Mario Balotelli may have been the most obvious recipient of the Italian's growing impatience but he had already had a run-in with Carlos Tevez during the first half. Tevez's introduction almost reeled the derby back into Mancini's hands before it was lost to a bad combination of Joe Hart's wall-building and Samir Nasri's cowardice.
It made for the most calamitous week of Mancini's reign, but it is not an irretrievable situation. Having been eight points behind with a month of last season to go, a six-point deficit is hardly insurmountable. Spirits cannot be lower than when the title looked to be lost at a far later juncture. Then, Mancini, to the bemusement of many until his plan became clear, took the punishment himself by making a series of defeatist announcements that took the pressure off his own players and may perhaps have engineered complacency at Old Trafford.
The problem for Mancini is that few people are going to fall for that one again, and a far better path to redemption would be the winning of football matches. A trip to a Newcastle team bereft of confidence might be a good place to start. Newcastle were largely poor at Fulham, as too many of last season's top performers struggled.
Cheick Tiote's distribution was hugely awry and the midfielder, looking far short of the £20 million price tag once on his head, was targeted by Martin Jol, as Fulham controlled the midfield, and Dimitar Berbatov enjoyed a night of freedom.
Alan Pardew hardly spoke in post-match, although when he did it was with the comfortable air of a man with an eight-year contract to his name. There were guarded references to a need to add numbers to his squad, but Newcastle are having the type of campaign most predicted them to have last season, and much of their play has been penetrated by slackness.
Regeneration is required for both teams. Newcastle need to show off the type of form that had made life so difficult for big teams visiting St James' Park, though City won 2-0 last season in the penultimate game to set up the following week's coronation against Queens Park Rangers. At that point, both teams and their managers had plenty to look forward to. They will hope Saturday can provide a turning point to two seasons in danger of lurching badly.
Newcastle United player to watch - Fabricio Coloccini. At Craven Cottage, Coloccini led from the front in being denied two spectacular efforts on goal but was culpable in both Fulham strikes. Both were unfortunate and could be put down to the captain overcompensating for the shortcomings of others. He remains a fine captain and his forays to the front show what a fine overall footballer he is. If Newcastle are to take anything from the champions, then their leader needs to be faultless.
Manchester City player to watch - Carlos Tevez. From having a line-up of four strikers that were envied through the country, Mancini has given the air of a man rather dissatisfied with his striking options. It has not helped that he cannot get the failed move for Robin van Persie out of his hair. There is also the latest blow-up with Balotelli, and the fact that Edin Dzeko struggles to play his best from the start. It leaves Tevez to fall back on to try bring out the best from a curiously listless Sergio Aguero. The more long-serving - of a fashion - Argentine still has debit to make up to City. He has scored four goals in six matches against Newcastle when in City blue.
Key battle: Vurnon Anita v Yaya Toure. Back in May, Yaya Toure was the match-winner for City at Newcastle once Mancini had catapulted him from a mostly defensive detail into a free role. His strikes were both devastating, in terms of ending Newcastle's hopes of the top four, and for Manchester United too. However, we are yet to see the same Yaya as last season. His energy seems lessened, his strength similarly so. Still, he should still have too much for Newcastle, where Tiote is ailing and Anita looks well short of being a stand-in for Yohan Cabaye on the evidence of Craven Cottage. The Dutchman, the summer's most high-profile Toon signing, looks a poor match for Toure's best, but can raise his standing with a good performance against last season's key man.
Trivia: When Manchester City's trophy drought was ended after 35 years with the FA Cup in 2011, their previous trophy had been the League Cup on February 28, 1976. A famous overhead kick by former Sunderland man Dennis Tueart won the day after the clubs had traded goals by Peter Barnes and Alan Gowling.
Stats: Newcastle have ten points fewer than they did at this point last season. Man City have eight points fewer than they did at this point in 2011-12. (Opta)
Odds: A victory for the Toon is on offer at odds of 5.50 at bet365. City are heavy favourites at 1.66 and the draw is 3.75.
Prediction: The team with the greater vulnerability to pay the price and Manchester City to win with ease.

Today, government and schools are closed in recognition of Veterans Day. Throughout the nation, Americans are paying tribute to the men and women whose bravery, determination and sacrifice have preserved our freedom for more than 230 years.
Locally, schools, groups and localities have been celebrating veterans for several days. Gloversville had its Veterans Day parade and ceremony Saturday, and Johnstown's ceremony took place Sunday. Both events drew crowds.
Some area schools honored veterans last week by bringing them in to meet with students.
In Amsterdam, a long-awaited new veterans monument in Veterans Field opened in time for Veterans Day, and the town of Florida dedicated its new veterans memorial Saturday.
Other local communities also recognized our veterans in recent days with various events and celebrations, and local veterans organizations conducted their annual ceremonies.
U.S. Rep. Bill Owens, who will represent all of Fulton and Hamilton counties on Jan. 1, is a veteran of the Air Force. He issued a statement for Veterans Day that spoke volumes.
"From the greatest generation to the men and women who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, we have a lot of heroes to thank today," Owens said.
"America owes its freedom, its prosperity and its way of life to the selfless sacrifice of its veterans and service members," he said. "I am grateful for all they have done to protect and build a stronger America."
We join others in saluting our veterans, and we urge our readers to remember those who continue to actively serve in our military, especially those who stand in harm's way.
If you see a veteran today, thank him or her for the freedom you enjoy.

By focusing on women in relatively low level jobs, Bishop created a document of women's increasing participation in the American workforce. This presence increased dramatically during World War II. Bishop indicated that she felt the women she depicted all had the possibility for upward mobility in society.

Comments On Oct 23, 2012:Wow, get ready for some grip! I switched from the pillow tops to these. Racing hare scrambles it sometimes gets wet but I don't loose my grip anymore. They are large soft pads and help dampen handlebar vibrations. They also promote blisters more often if you don't use the better quality gloves. Only had two races on them so far, so can tell just how long they will last, but so far so good. FYI: I always safety wire my grips, yes even with the adhesive to the bar.

From your experience are you, or programmers in general, more or less likely to forgive bugs in the software you use? e.g. if you run across a bug in some app (commercial or open source), is your reaction annoyance at incompetence, empathy, or something else (pity)?
Short answer: No! I am not more forgiving!
After 40 years in this business I know what it takes to get things right -- it takes having personal pride in your end-product. And it pisses me off to see sloppy, 'I don't give a f*ck' software being foisted on the general public. And I don't really care if it's open source or proprietary -- if you're going to do your job ... do your job!
You want to see software done right? Look at something like the Django project. This is completely FOSS, and yet it is stable, effective, and documented like almost nothing I have seen before. When a bug is reported ... they actually fix it. (Well, most of the time. :-)
My point is that as programmers we know what should have been done during development / testing / documentation / bug-tracking. I have people (family / friends / people at parties) ask me about random crap that happens to them (or their data) and it makes me angry to realize how uncaring many programmers are about their users.
If you are going to code for your own enjoyment, great! But if you are going to unleash your brilliance on the world, at least have the self respect to do your job as well as you can.
There is a big difference between a bug that comes from a honest mistake and a bug that comes from lazy, sloppy or incompetent coding.
The former usually occurs as a result of odd data, or simply some function or situation that the developer didn't think of. You will often see the developer be quite helpful as a result and be willing to receive a bug report.
The later is much more annoying because you know it's the sort of bug that you would not tolerate. There are usually lots of them and the attitude of the developer can range from simply not caring through to hostile. For example, in one case where I reported a bug (design flaw) and presented a solution, I was told "thats the way it works and it would not be fixed". Needless to say, I dropped the product.
If you're asking just about how we feel about bugs, then this question is highly subjective. Some may consider bugs a big deal while others learn to deal with them.
But in reality, it really depends on the software and the bug, but mainly the software. Some software, like use-once scripts, that the fault tolerance of doesn't really matter as long as it works. But there is software that needs to be almost bug proof, take medical software.
So the answer is that it really depends on the total situation, not all software is the same and neither are their bugs.
