|Treatment Plan
The focus is on social learning, personal growth, lifestyle change and concepts such as peer pressure, role modeling, self-help, personal responsibility, reality confrontation.
The process of social learning is specifically the inculcation of more positive values and direction facilitated by an open and sharing atmosphere where people are understanding each others problems and are encouraged to support each other and help themselves and one another improve.The treatment program is implemented in three different stages namely:
Any interested suffering addict who voluntarily seeks admission could be admitted at any time on any day of the week if she/ he meets the basic admission requirements. None is refused admission because she/he lacks the fees.(this has to be determined by the A.T.C. Director/ coordinator).
Orientation / social Detoxification - 2 weeks.
During admission each patient receives a thorough assessment. A holistic team approach is taken and every aspect of a patient's life is evaluated; physical, emotional, spiritual, social and intellectual. The information including chemical use history is pooled to form a patient's profile; an individualized recovery plan is developed. Key issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and grief are also addressed. Some patients may have co-existing problems such as clinical depression or sexual abuse that need to be addresses as well.
The patient then undergoes a two weeks orientation program which includes:
Primary Treatment - 8 weeks
The primary treatment focuses on the 12 steps of the AA/NA programme of recovery. It is divided into two segments with the first segment focusing on learning more about chemical dependency and an individual's acceptance of it. The second deals with the program of recovery and establishing a sober lifestyle. Presentations and group exercises are directed at the theme of each segment. The cycle for each allows for individuals to "plug into" the segment at any point.
Discharge Plan - 2 weeks
The duration is at least the last 2 weeks. Preparation for discharge includes addressing the clients' fears and weakness, assessing progress, organizing family meeting and sessions, determining aftercare support, planning follow-ups, determining the readiness for discharge, and setting discharge date. If one is not ready for discharge, the counselors determine why and make definite recommendations for continuation (what areas need attention, duration required for continuity, any viable changes in the treatment plan, etc.)

Serge Gnabry identifies player who can save Arsenal's season
Arsenal youngster Serge Gnabry has identified Mesut Ozil as the man who could potentially save the Gunners' failing season, even though the German international has been largely criticised for his performances so far. Since his return from injury Ozil has three goals and two assists to his name, but with Arsenal having suffered a shock 3-1 defeat to AS Monaco in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg, the team need all the help they can get if the season isn't to be regarded as a failure. With the league title essentially already out of reach, and a tricky March clash against Manchester United to come, Ozil will have to stand up and be counted, or he could be facing an uncertain future after another disappointing campaign. Elsewhere Ligue 1 ace Loic Perrin has once again confirmed that he was approached by Arsenal in the winter transfer window. The Saint Etienne captain said that the move fell through for various reasons, but insisted he would be interested in a transfer to a bi

HUGO, OK -- The Hugo Buffaloes are back in the state tournament after a year of ups and downs. The experienced group will start their journey toward gold ball number two tomorrow evening, and with a determined core of seniors don't be shocked if they bring one home.
Bouncing back has been the key to success for these buffalo boys.
"We've been accustomed to meeting challenges and so we'll step up to this one too," said head coach Darnell Shanklin.
All season long they've had their backs against the wall. From holiday tournaments to last weekend's area playoffs; The Buffalos, led by six experienced seniors, listened to their coach and answered the call.
"He told us we've been in this situation before at the Durant tournament, we lost first game, came back won the next day," senior point guard Nick Brown said. "We did it at the Idabel tournament, lost one, came back the next day. So we're a good bounce back team and he was like, 'we can bounce back or hang it up,' and six seniors we all stepped up and decided we didn't want to hang it up."
Three years ago the team came home runner ups, two years ago as semi-finalists, then last year, one win from their third state tournament in as many years, they were ousted.
But what did they do? Bounce back. Together.
"There's numerous guys over there that I've been playing with for about nine, ten years and know you know we... it's time to put it all together and win a state championship," Brown added.
So here they are three wins from state putting a basketball crazed town on their backs.
"It would mean so much to Hugo. Because every year we get so close, we get farther and farther and we keep coming up short so this year we're going to try to do it," Brown concluded.
"We've got great support. We've been playing close to home in the playoffs some, we've been on the road and people have been there. They've been supporting us, so it means a lot to our community," Shanklin said.
Hugo will take on state power Millwood at 7 o'clock at Yukon High School.

text: Most of the tools and commands discussed in this story are rooted in film-based photography. Histograms, on the other hand, are something that most photographers discovered when they started working with photo-editing software. Today, many digital cameras can analyze an image and display a histogram of the picture right in the LCD or in the electronic eye-level viewfinder. This is a graph that shows exactly how well the picture is exposed. Think of this as a statistical analysis of how many of the pixels (or points of data) in your image represent shadows, highlights, and midtones. If your picture is underexposed, the histogram will show that the image is too heavy in the shadows. Similarly, if it is overexposed, the graph will tilt toward the highlights and be weak in shadows. In the example above, the histogram shows that the photo is heavy in the shadows and highlights, with limited midtones. In contrast, the histogram in the picture on the right shows that the image has more midtones. While many cameras show the histogram when reviewing an image, some will actually display a histogram while you are composing a picture.

The latest in a long line of disputes between sports networks and cable operators – MSG vs. Time Warner Cable Inc. – threatens to create a greater disconnect between the sports fan and everyone else who ends up paying higher pay-TV subscription fees.
MSG has seen a big boost in viewership this year thanks to New York Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin. But local fans are having a hard time seeing the games because MSG channel hasn't been available to Time Warner Cable Inc.'s subscribers since Dec. 31, as the two sides haggle over how much the cable provider should pay for the regional sports network.
While the winner in the MSG -Time Warner Cable battle hasn't been declared just yet – historically, in disagreements over rights fees that lead to such incidents, the programmer wins, as viewers want to see content and a distributor risks mass defections to another service if the dispute goes on too long.
When cable operators end up paying higher fees for programming, those costs get passed on to consumers in the form of higher bills.
In an interview earlier this month, MarketWatch spoke to Michael Finn, president of BrightLine, an interactive television advertising firm, and former ad sales executive at Dish Network. Finn is convinced that eventually, big sports networks are going to have to go onto a separate premium tier so that only heavy sports viewers will bear the brunt of the extra costs.
"I absolutely see that happening," Finn said. "When I was at Dish the past four years, Charlie Ergen didn't have Yes Network [cable home of baseball's New York Yankees], he didn't have MSG -- he didn't pay any of those huge fees to put any of those huge New York-centric networks up, because he just didn't want to pass those costs along to the customer.
"And I think what you're going to see a lot more is that these regional sports networks are becoming so high in price that it's becoming difficult to see how they can pass those costs along. That content will absolutely be put on another tier, so that you don't pass along those massive costs to people who aren't part of the audience for those networks."
One reason why this may happen is that Washington politicians have threatened to get involved. In 2010, a long stalemate kept Fox programming off of Cablevision cable systems in New York and Philadelphia during the baseball playoffs. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., introduced legislation to stop broadcasters from pulling a signal while negotiation is ongoing. Not much has happened on that front since, but such intervention looms as a possibility.
James Marsh of Piper Jaffray isn't sure what form it'll take, but he said cable operators will probably have to get more creative. "I think you're going to see cable operators resize their packages to give people more choice," he said.

When a person is hit by a vehicle, there are a broad range of accident injuries that can result to the pedestrian. Many of these injuries are serious in nature, and a substantial percentage lead to fatalities, either immediately or some time after the accident.
On this site posts that summarize pedestrian accidents are found under the "pedestrian accidents" category, and various aspects of pedestrian accidents – including those regarding medical and legal issues – are discussed on the "Chicago Pedestrian Accidents" page.
Two recent pedestrian accident have happened outside the Chicago area – in Westville (south of Danville) and Forsyth (north of Decatur.)
The accident in Westville happened on Halloween. In this accident two children – ages 12 and 7 – were struck by a vehicle outside of an event. An excerpt from the November 1, 2017 News-Gazette article titled "Probe continues after 2 kids hit by car near Westville trunk-or-treat event":
Sgt. Justin Varvel with Westville police said Wednesday afternoon that he did not have an updated condition report on the 7-year-old who was seriously injured and listed in critical but stable condition at an Urbana hospital after being transferred there Tuesday night. His sister was rushed to Presence United Samaritans Medical Center in Danville.
Varvel said the accident happened at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, and although police are still interviewing witnesses and piecing together exactly what happened, it appears the siblings from Westville were attempting to cross Illinois 1 when they were struck by a southbound vehicle.
The accident in Forsyth happened on November 2, and is discussed in the November 2 foxillinois.com article titled "One sent to hospital during car vs. pedestrian accident." An excerpt from that article:
On 11/2/17 at approximately 8:30pm, the Macon County Sheriff's Office received a call regarding a pedestrian that had been struck by a vehicle on Rt. 51 at the intersection with Barnett Ave. in Forsyth.
Upon arrival deputies located the male pedestrian laying in the ditch on the east side of the northbound lanes of Rt. 51, just south of Barnett Ave. The pedestrian was unresponsive to the deputy and was immediately transported to Decatur Memorial Hospital by Decatur Ambulance Service upon their arrival. Deputies and emergency medical staff on scene described the injuries as life threatening.
An accident reconstruction is being conducted as part of the accident investigation.

Wisconsin Men's Basketball 2009-10 Preview
Well, we tipped it off tonight against might Bemidji State. What is a Bemidji? Well, lets just cut to the chase–this is the self proclaimed curling capital of the world. Quite a proclamation!
Tonights opponent aside, let's discuss the outlook of UW hoops in 09′. Most "analysts" have them pegged somewhere between 4 and 8. Even UW alum Andy Katz doesn't paint the rosiest picture. Katz knows Wisconsin basketball better than any journalist outside of Madison. Katz knows enough to know that rankings and Bo Ryan's teams don't really work. This guy won a big ten title with Charlie Wills and Travon Davis. This ranks as arguably the greatest coaching performance of the past ten years…if you recall that team lost to Hawaii-Hilo. Bo Ryan is the type of coach who could win with a shocking absent of talent, he has proven it time and time again.
Commentary about his rough and tumble origins in Chester, Pa. aside, he is as tough as they come. Why then is UW pegged to be "down". It really isn't anything that UW did, it is the rest of the league. Ohio State has the leagues best player, and a closet full of McD's All Americans. Purdue is superbly coached with elite talent. Michigan State is Michigan State. Minnesota has improved dramatically, although their offseason facelift which included grabbing every questionable character-big time talent guy has imploded as three of their incoming players are suspended due to character issues. Northwestern is even being talked about as an NCAA team. Penn State has the explosive Talor Battle and a bevy of incoming talent.
Then there is UW. Nothing sexy here, if you want flash and style, you're looking in the wrong window. UW is what it is, rugged, precise, tough, and fundamental. Wait, those are awesome traits, right? Yeah, but there is no Evan Turner. There aren't explosive athletes. No Kalin Lucas here–no all big ten player in sight, it would be a huge surprise to see one. UW's profile during this amazing 12 year NCAA streak has been to find an underrecruited star player, ala Devin Harris, Kirk Penney, and Alando Tucker. Surround him with solid, physical, and smart role players and let the system take over. Nothing has changed but the star player part. UW's inability to find that next guy since Tucker took his game to Phoenix has hurt the program. UW often goes into pronounced scoring droughts without this type of player and it impacts their abilities to win on the road and in big games. Questions abound this year about where the offense will come from–it is difficult in this day in age to expect five guys to share the ball and score 10-12 points per game, the defenses are so good and being that efficient is hard to achieve. UW also seems to lack some defensive capabilities that they have had in the past. Gone are the days of Mike Flowers, Joe Krabbenhoft, and UW's twin towers defensively. They are not a quick team on the perimeter and their help defense will be sternly tested. Given the significant increase in the big ten's athleticism, this is going to be a test for the Bob Knight-Dick Bennett inspired defense that UW employs.
How will they win? Lot of positives on this team, I figured we'd end on a good note. UW has age. Senior guards in college basketball are a rare blessing. Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon figure to improve on solid junior campaigns and are poised for bigger things. Neither is an all league performer but Ryan knows what he can expect out of them. The frontcourt is where things get interesting.
Keaton Nankivil has teased us for 2 years. He is a good athlete, who can be a phenomenal shooter. Which Keaton will we see the one who took over the Purdue game or the one who vanishes for weeks on end. The coaches believe he has turned a corner and they expect big things from him. Jon Leuer has been more consistent than Keaton Nankivil, and has similar abilities. Leuer continues to reshape his frame and has put on additional muscle this year maintaining his solid athleticism. He has shown the ability to be that next UW star, will it translate to the floor? Who rounds out the five? Most bets are on Tim Jarmusz manning the 3. He is healthy and poised to assume that super glue role of Joe Krabbenhoft. He is a much better offensive player than Krabbenhoft and has guard abilities as well as the ability to defend 2-4. This is a solid starting five, but in a league with stars abound there is no Manny Harris here…and that raises question marks. UW's bench has intriguing potential as well as UW can counter with 3 near 7 footers and a pair of explosive young guards in Jordan Taylor and Rob Wilson. But the wild cards might be incoming Frosh Mike Brusewitz, Minnesota's reigning Mr. Basketball and ultra-athletic Ryan Evans.
Brusewitz is skilled, hardnosed, versatile, and as tough as Krabbenhoft was. How quickly will he be ready? At 6-7, 220 he has the frame to contribute immediately and the mentality of an upperclassmen. Evans meanwhile is a tremendous athlete who is oly going to get better as he gains basketball experience.
Prediction. UW finishing in the top 3 seems irrational. Although anyone who saw UW winning the big ten in Ryan's first year was in a small minority. I am hesitant to pick Michigan, Northwestern, Penn State, Illinois or Minnesota over the Badgers. All have distinct question marks, and have not "been there". Michigan's offense has less structure than a beer league get together. Northwestern wears purple and is not athletic, zone teams seldom have staying power. Penn State is small and coached by Ed DeChelis.
Minnesota's suspended team is a great group of athletes, but you can't play from the stands or jail. As for Tom Crean…sorry, I don't mean to be hating, but it is really hard to take a guy serious who tans. Sorry. Just the way it is. that being said IU is really young.
Iowa is just not very good. So here it is…1-11.

Asia Gaming was initially founded in 2012, intending to surprise the software industry with fresh and innovative ideas. Today, they are one of the leading developers in Asia. Their vast range of exciting online casino games includes Live Dealer Blackjack, Bid Baccarat and Dragon Tiger, providing an impressive gaming experience for players of all levels.
Online casinos date back to 1994. This was when Antigua and Barbuda began to issue licenses, to those business entities, that wanted to start up an online casino site. The first casino to receive approval was the InterCasino. To provide the platform for the online casinos, it was Microgaming who took on that task.
For those people that enjoy the gambling activities of an online casino, they are reaping the benefits. Players can access their favorite online casino, whenever they want to. It is easy to deposit and withdraw funds. There is a large selection of games. For those that want to play on mobile devices, there are plenty of options.
Playing at an online casino can undoubtedly be a safe form of gambling entertainment, providing the player chooses a credible and licenced casino. Every casino has its own unique set of rules. It is essential that those playing at these casinos, know what the rules are, and that they follow them.
There is a risk with online casinos being so easy to access, that gamblers will overextend themselves financially. It is definitely the responsibility of every player to know what their gambling limits are, and not to go beyond this. Most online casinos have a responsible gambling section to assist their players.
Betsson Online Casino with the site betsson.com was founded in 2001 and was one of the first gambling companies in the world to offer live gambling on sports events. Today the website is owned by Betsson AB which is registered in Malta but listed in Stockholm on the OMX NASDAQ. Betsson AB the holding company has its history as far back as 1963, when Bill Lindwall and Rolf Lundström started a company called AB Restaurang Rouletter. That name later changed to Cherry and in the late 90's the company bought Net entertainment the casino software company and then 2005 the site Betsson.com.

A massive wildfire in the Panhandle has scorched more than 73,000 acres, prompted numerous road closures and contributed to the creation of a severe thunderstorm.
But a bit of relief could be in sight - from a significant chance for precipitation into the week and the fire's exhaustion of its own fuel supply as it burns up dry vegetation.
By late Monday, emergency crews were still working to contain the Mallard Fire in Armstrong County that began last week but was only 20 percent contained, with crews from the Texas A&M Forest Service and area volunteer fire departments battling the blaze, according to updates from the forest service. The fire started Wednesday and had burned 20,000 acres by the next day.
Hot, dry and windy weather conditions have helped the fire spread and have even create a unique situation. The blaze is also contributing to the weather, with a pyrocumulus cloud developing above the fire, triggering a severe thunderstorm in the area.
"It's rare to get a severe thunderstorm from that," said Aaron Ward, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Amarillo. "It's a unique event and it doesn't happen often."
Ward said firefighters could see some relief, as the fire has already used a lot of the fuels in the area and a cold front making its way into the area will lower wind speeds.
"The fire has already burned up a lot of fuels in the canyon, so it's running out of fuel to spread as quickly as it did before," said Ward.
Firefighters could also see relief in the form of much needed rain, with the chance for thunderstorms increasing through Tuesday night, according to the weather service. In the Panhandle, there was a 30 percent chance for thunderstorms overnight Monday into Tuesday, increasing to 40 percent Tuesday and 50 percent Tuesday night.
In Lubbock and around the South Plains, there's a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms through Tuesday night.
By Monday afternoon, FM 2272 and FM 2889, which had been closed due to the fire, were re-opened.

Over the years, I've used many sites as a research tool for writing about comedy. Hey, I'm sure a lot of you know this one, run by a certain Philip Hill. I used to reference his episode guides constantly – in fact, for many years, it was the very first place I looked to for TX dates.
What you may not know about the site: it's now gone. Disappeared offline. The last version the Wayback Machine has archived is from June 2016. And the WHOIS indicates the domain phill.co.uk has a brand new owner from January this year.
It's perhaps worth noting that while the site remained online until 2016, it stopped updating long before that. The listing for Citizen Khan only details the show's first series; before the site fell offline there had been four complete series broadcast. A quick check in the Wayback Machine indicates the site had indeed been dormant since 2012.
As far as I can tell, there is no indication anywhere of what happened to the site. Perhaps Philip got bored with his hobby. Perhaps personal circumstances took precedence. Perhaps he gazed over at Wikipedia, and thought there was little point in carrying on with episode guides. We'll probably never know.
So I will shed a small tear for a site which was tirelessly updated for years, was an endlessly useful and widely-referenced resource… and has ended up disappearing into the digital ether. Whether it was ever going to be updated again or not, the site deserved better than to just fall offline, with no warning or goodbye.
As ever, let's try to remember this stuff.

I have lived in this area for nearly 16 years. During this time I have lived in 2 homes and worked for the same company.
Our of shear boredom, I have driven most every route imaginable to get from home to office and back, day in and day out. (Incidentally – 200 working days a year X 2 trips a day X 15 years = 6,000 trips, not including the days I 'ran' home for lunch.) Some years ago my north most route was a 2 lane through a rather rural area with many small farms and one very large farm. The large farm has nearly 1,000 acres of crops. I watched them responsibly rotate soybeans and corn through the vast fields each year. I also watched them go form the old plow and tilling method to the more popular 'no till' method used widely today. They also have about 300 head of Black Angus cows. Turning down a side road (another of my routes) you could go very near the main barn and see as many as 3 stud bulls just 'hanging' out in all of their 'bull' glory….
Starting about this time of year, maybe a little later (like late February early March) I would see very pregnant cows on my morning drive moving away from the heard. Then on my return in the evening there would inevitably be a new calf. Sometimes on cool spring mornings I would catch a glimpse of a newly born calf, laying in the grass, steam rising of off the new life, mom standing by. Although never really seeing the actual event, the sight of a new life was both awesome and somber. I remember one day seeing a new calf in the morning laying in the grass, mom standing oddly far away. When I returned in the evening in, it was still laying there, nature having seen to take this life down a different course.
Today the 2 lane has become a 4 lane and only that big farm remains. The others have become houses and urban strip malls that are the bane of today's growth and progress. Recently I have noticed that all of the cows are gone on the big farm, and I have heard on the news that the farm has been sold and will become 400-500 homes with a 'neighborhood shopping area' (read 'another strip mall').
I guess I should be grateful to live in an area that is growing… but it seems to me that the cost is too high.
I must be getting old.

We've had the same kind of growth in the central valley here as well. Makes me sad to see all the old farms get bulldozed for tract homes and cookie cutter shopping centers.

We have a 60 acre farm (land is wild but we rent the farm house) and as far as I'm concerned it's going to stay that way. When the youngest is out of school my hiney plans on moving back out there so I can have some peace and quiet and watch the beauty of nature.

I've felt the same for over 20 years. When my best friend moved to a small town about 90 miles from me, my dad would drive me up to spend a week with her on school vacations. I used to love looking at all the farms, and over the years I've seen the ones near the highway slowly disappearing, and auto dealerships and office complexes taking their place. It makes me wonder, if this trend continues, how will enough food be grown for us? Will we eventually have to import wheat and corn? I hope the farms far from the highway remain farms.

I must be getting old as well because I yearn for the farms to reappear, the roads to narrow, the strip malls to vanish... *sigh*

This outfit is inspired by one of my favourite colour combinations: white, black, and beige. Whatever pieces you pair together, as long as they're one of these three colours, it's almost impossible to go wrong. Here in Toronto the weather is going through that limbo summer-spring phase and I know that I never know how to dress for this weather. Here's a classic look that I opt for on these limbo days – layers. layers. layers.
THE POWER OF LAYERS! Don't be scared to layer a jacket on top of another jacket on top of another jacket. Scroll down for OOTD details!
My inside top is a white thermal turtleneck from UNIQLO – it's a closet must have. Then my second layer is a thin jacket/blazer from ZARA which you can see clearer here. Then my final layer is a hooded jacket lined with fleece from UNIQLO Japan. Jeans are Hollister jeggings and shoes are Romwe sneakers. My current favourite – star shaped earrings – are from YesStyle and can be found here.
What I want to emphasis is that all of the pieces I wore in this outfit can be duped by items in your own closet. And this fit is extremely simple! Switch the turtleneck for a plain white tee, or go for your favourite cardigan instead of the inner jacket. You've got so many options!
If you like what you see, follow me on Instagram and follow my blog! Black, white, and beige are staples for me – what colours can you not live without in your wardrobe? Comment below!

FILM CLIPS / Also opening today
'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' .
Comedy. Starring Nia Vardalos, John Corbett and Michael Constantine. Directed by Joel Zwick. (PG. 95 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
This is the kind of little movie that could easily get lost in the shuffle but shouldn't. It's a buoyant comedy with more warmth and generosity of spirit than anything else in theaters right now. It also introduces an appealing new face to movies, comedian Nia Vardalos, who wrote the screenplay based on her one-woman show.
The title gives much of the story away. At the start, Toula (Vardalos) is a 30-year-old woman working in her father's Greek restaurant. She wears frumpy housedresses and eyeglasses with unflattering plastic frames, of the kind Maria Callas used to wear. Her ticket to independence is a job in her aunt's travel agency, where her looks blossom and she gets to meet the man of her dreams, Ian (John Corbett of HBO's "Sex and the City"). Soon everyone is planning . . . a big, fat Greek wedding.
The joy of this movie is in the details, which are specific and authentic to the Greek experience -- the foods, the personalities, the customs. For example, as the bride walks up the aisle, the older relatives make as if they're spitting at her. The spitting is to make her unappealing, so the devil will stay away.
The picture provides vivid roles for talented veteran actors, such as Michael Constantine as Gus, Toula's father, whose first lines in the movie are,
"You better get married soon. You starting to look old." Lainie Kazan plays Toula's bighearted mom, and Andrea Martin has fun as Aunt Voula, who, when told that Ian is a vegetarian, answers, "That's OK. I make lamb." Meanwhile, Vardalos, an unknown until now, emerges as effortlessly funny and appealing.
It's a strange thing about stories that are specific and true. Somehow, in their truth, they become universal. With a few changes, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" could be the story of any family in which people eat well, get loud and carry on.
This film contains mild sexual situations. . -- Mick LaSalle
Documentary about the Space Station, narrated by Tom Cruise. Directed by Toni Myers. (Not rated. 47 minutes. At Metreon.) .
The latest IMAX movie is as technically impressive as other films bearing the IMAX name. It has the usual amazing depth of field and laserlike clarity.
Yet it fails to enchant for a reason that might not be fair, but that's just how it is: We've seen outer space simulated so well in sci-fi movies that the real thing seems like old stuff.
Filmed at the Space Station, as it orbits the earth, the documentary mainly allows us to witness the novelty of weightlessness. We see a man who, while shaving, lets his razor go, only to have it wait for him in midair until he retrieves it.
We also see spacemen conducting experiments outside the station, in the black yonder, where it looks as lonely as an Elton John song. Yet ultimately these weightlessness scenes grow tiresome. Outer-space buffs might love this film, but others will find its pleasures intermittent.
The picture -- narrated by Tom Cruise, with his usual engaging enthusiasm --
tells the story of the station, being built somewhere out in the great emptiness by international teams of energetic, down-to-earth geniuses from all over the world, especially Russia and the United States.
The people are appealing. They love what they do. They are like kids with huge IQs and big biceps.
The best thing in the film, which goes by too quickly and is filmed incompletely, is the scene of the takeoff from inside the space capsule. IMAX, more than any other medium, is capable of rendering that vicarious thrill, of re-creating the sights and sounds and vibrations of breaking through the Earth's atmosphere.
With such an unprecedented tool in hand, the movie could and should have given us the whole experience, from countdown to orbit.
Instead we only get an exhilarating 30 seconds of it. . -- Mick LaSalle
Mockumentary. Starring Jerry Stiller, Janeane Garofalo. Directed by Stephen Kessler. (R. 85 minutes. At the Lumiere.). .
Jerry Stiller, a screamer and eye-popper, is a talent best appreciated in small doses, as fans of TV's "Seinfeld" and "King of Queens" can attest.
Playing a schlock director on the skids, Stiller appears in nearly every scene of "The Independent," but that shouldn't put people off. The movie tempers his abrasiveness with Janeane Garofalo's reliable deadpan stylings and with a sometimes uproarious lowlights reel from the D-movie auteur's career. Stiller even pulls the heartstrings on occasion.
Director Stephen Kessler, who wrote the "mockumentary" with fellow Stanford alum Mike Wilkins, doesn't take the easy way out by making Stiller's character a misguided sweetheart a la Ed Wood. Instead, he's an egomaniac who frittered away his marriage and fortune while making the overblown vanity project "The Whole History of the World." He's about to lose everything unless he accepts the bank's offer to buy his 420-film catalog -- by the pound.
Garofalo, wary but indulgent as the director's estranged daughter, has great comic rapport with Stiller. Their joy in working together shows, even if their improvising sometimes seems stiff. Stiller softens in Garofalo's presence, and we can see why the daughter still loves the lout. After all, it's hard to fault a dad who avenges his child's rejection by the cheerleading squad with a movie called "Cheerleader Massacre."
"The Independent" really is just an excuse to string together some silly fake-movie clips, ranging from inspired ("Eco-Angels," in which pneumatic '70s environmental activists clean up the earth by day and shower with bikers by night) to insipid ("Bald Justice," where the heroes are thinning). Sometimes the clips are so good you want to see the whole fake film.
This film contains raw language. . -- Carla Meyer
Family drama. Starring Rodrigo Santoro. Directed by Walter Salles. Written by Salles, Sergio Machado and Karim Ainouz. (Rated PG-13. 94 minutes. In Portuguese with English subtitles. At the Lumiere.) .
In the desert of northeastern Brazil, a blood feud escalates between two families, turning young men into martyrs for an absurd cause. "It's like two snakes I saw fighting," says one observer. "Each one was biting the tail of the other; they ate each other until nothing was left."
Directed by Walter Salles ("Central Station"), "Behind the Sun" is a powerful allegory about family violence and the struggle of two young brothers to break the cycle. Exquisitely photographed by Walter Carvalho, "Behind the Sun" is a gorgeous film with the timeless, elemental qualities of Greek tragedy and the Bible.
Two brothers, Tonho (Rodrigo Santoro) and Pacu (Ravi Ramos Lacerda), live in a tiny, sun-baked outpost called Stream-of-Souls. Their embittered father (Jose Dumont) grows sugarcane and forces his sons to work as hard as the oxen that power the cane mill.
For Tonho, who has the martyred-angel look of Terence Stamp in "Billy Budd, " it's a particularly cruel destiny. Forced to avenge the family's honor after his older brother's death, he stalks the son of the rival clan and in a brilliantly directed sequence chases him through cane fields and shoots him without breaking his pace.
Tonho is marked to die, as soon as the blood on the dead man's shirt turns yellow, but when a two-person circus rides through town and he falls for the beautiful acrobat (Flavia Marco Antonio), Tonho discovers the possibility of joy and fulfillment beyond his world.
Salles is a fine director with the ability to invest moments with a sense of tragedy and inexorable fate. He's good with actors, particularly children, and draws a great performance from Lacerda as young Pacu. Mournful but brave, with expressive, world-weary eyes, he's a heartbreaker.
This film contains violence and one scene of mild sexuality. . -- Edward Guthmann
Comedy. Starring James Nesbitt and Olivia Williams. Directed by Peter Cattaneo. (PG-13. 105 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.) .
"Lucky Break" is a pleasing but routine British comedy set in an English prison. It has the advantage of a leading man in James Nesbitt, who has the good looks and offhand charm of an Irish George Clooney. But it has nothing else to raise it above the ordinary.
Indeed, "Lucky Break" is such a standard-issue product that it's the third British movie in the past year ("Borstal Boy" and "Greenfingers" are the others) to feature the same three plot elements: (1) A handsome guy goes to a prison that seems more like a men's club, (2) he escapes (or leaves) but then comes back and (3) he gets romantically involved with an attractive woman affiliated with the prison hierarchy. From these movies, it would seem prison is a great way to meet girls. Why escape?
"Lucky Break" also tries to catch some of the reflected shimmer of "The Full Monty." Like "Monty," "Lucky Break" was directed by Peter Cattaneo and centers on an unlikely group of men preparing to put on a stage show. Here the men are rehearsing a musical, "Nelson," written by the show-tune-besotted warden, played by Christopher Plummer.
The musical scenes, which should pay off in a big comedic way, are only mildly diverting because the songs in "Nelson" aren't all that different from the kind heard on Broadway. It's hard to parody a parody. Also detracting from the comedy is the fact that these ungainly performers aren't really trying to do their best. Rather, they're building an elaborate escape plan around the opening performance of "Nelson." Since they have no investment in the performance, we have no kick in watching them fail.
In the end, the only thing left to care about is the love story between the charming bank robber (Nesbitt) and the prison social worker (Olivia Williams). They're a handsome couple, and we wish them all the best.
This film contains an instance of harsh language. . -- Mick LaSalle

Learning Takeaways
Communicate a transparent hiring process to external applicants using open and creative outreach
Getting creative with their hiring campaigns, the City of Bremen engaged in a city-wide public campaign, from online videos on training programs, public transportation ads, to multi-lingual booklets about public service careers, to reach out to young migrants and migrant families who were unaware of employment opportunities in civil service. The City of Saskatoon hired a diversity coordinator who offered face-to-face pre-employment consultations about the city's hiring process, tours of city hall, information on foreign credentials, mock interviews and resume reviews.
Talk to staff about HR diversity in relation to organization-wide strategic objectives to build buy-in
The City of Saskatoon saw a rapid rise in diversity of its population, recognized a need to respond, and saw an opportunity to brand itself as one of the country's top diversity employers. For Saskatoon, open communication between the HR department and the city's strategic initiatives from the top was essential for improving diversity and buy-in from senior to junior staff.
Make your staff feel included when developing new HR Diversity models and tools
The City of Saskatoon conducted focus groups to have dialogues about diversity and identify intercultural awareness training needs. To showcase positive interventions in the workplace, the City created an inclusive workplace champion recognition program that awarded staff members who showed leadership or commitment to diversity and change.
Mubarka Butt, Employment and Total Compensation, City of Saskatoon
Mubarka Butt is currently the Manager of Employment and Total Compensation with the City of Saskatoon. Mubarka has her BBA in Accounting and Finance and holds the global designation of Human Resource Management Professional (HRMP). She has been with the City for 3 years. Prior to this Mubarka was a Human Resource Manager in the transportation industry. Mubarka has extensive experience in the area of employment equity reporting both at the federal and provincial level, inclusive workplace practices and diversity programming. In 2012 Mubarka led a team to complete Canada's Best Diversity Employers Application process and as a result the City of Saskatoon received two recognitions; Saskatchewan's Top Employer 2013 and also received national recognitions as Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2013.
Brigitta Praatz-Schanz, Training and Education Center(AEC), City of Bremen
Brigitta Praatz-Schanz is responsible for employee training at the Training and Education Center at the City of Bremen. The Training and Education Center, under the Senator of Finance, provides vocational training and further education for public administrative staff at the City, which spearheaded the campaign, "You are the Key…to your Future and your City" (Du bist der Schlüssel…für deine Zukunft und deine Stadt), to recruit young people from immigrant background into the civil service.

Why is NTRO, indian government not willing to acknowledge the real domain investor who is spending her hard earned money on domain names, giving lazy greedy frauds like asmita patel,nayanshree hathwar, goan gsb frauds riddhi siddhi, credit and wasting indian tax payer money to pay the fraud asmita patel, nayanshree, riddhi siddhi sunaina and 5 others a monthly indian government salary for making fake claims about domain ownership, including this one, The brahmin, bania dominated R&AW/CBI/NTRO were extremely pleased with indore fraud housewife veena for her section 420 fraud of stealing the documents of the domain investor that google, tata got the indore document robber veena a R&AW job, falsely claiming that she owns this and other domain names of domain investor
Please note that the real domain investor has faced great slander, defamation, cheating, exploitation, torture, with many people in goa, verbally telling her that the google, tata sponsored frauds (like slim goan obc bhandari slut sunaina,goan gsb fraud housewife riddhi nayak) are falsely claiming to own the domain names, paypal account despite not spending any money, so posting a disclaimer is the only way the real domain investor can protect herself against the slander of shameless fraud powerful corrupt indian intelligence employees, allegedly working for google, tata. The bhandari, bahujan samaj leaders, officials lack honesty, vision and are falsely claiming that google, tata supplied panaji prostitute bhandari R&AW employee sunaina chodan 2013 bsc who provides sex services to fraud ntro and other brahmin officials and does not spend any money online, owns this and other domain names so that the panaji bhandari R&AW employee sex worker sunaina gets a monthly R&AW salary at the expense of the real domain investor
Kindly note that NTRO, CBI and the indian government is involved in a major financial fraud on India's largest female domain investor, hiring call girls, cheater housewives and other frauds in intelligence agencies and then falsely claiming that women own the domain names of a private citizen, to pay all these fraud women a monthly indian government salary at the expense of the real domain investor who is not getting anything . https://www.namepros.com/threads/indian-citizens-taken-advantage-of-by-indian-government.987352/
Kindly note that the 10 lazy greedy mediocre fraud RAW/CBI/indian intelligence employee faking a btech 1993 ee degree especially slim westernized goan obc bhandari SEX WORKER, call girl RAW EMPLOYEE sunaina chodnekar, 2013 bsc who has SEX with top NTRO, CBI, security agency officials, eighth standard pass gujju housewife naina mother of two sons, goan gsb frauds riddhi nayak siddhi mandrekar, bespectacled indore housewife veena,fair and lovely deepika, shivalli brahmin fraud housewife nayanshree hathwar,asmita patel are NOT associated with the website in anyway though the iit kharagpur 1993 gold medalist sundar pichai led google, tata have allegedly bribed fraud top NTRO officials like j srinivasan, puneet j, vijay to falsely claim 8-10 goan SEX WORKERS, CHEATER HOUSEWIVES and other frauds who never answered JEE were their btech 1993 ee classmate, domain investors and online experts to get all these google, tata sponsored FRAUD indian intelligence employees a monthly salary of $300 or more each in a clear indication of the rampant corruption in India in the indian internet sector.
In the last decade the number of jobs being created in India has decreased to a very extent, mainly because the powerful IT companies have been involved in some of greatest atrocities, frauds on harmless small business owners , ruthlessly defaming, cheating and exploiting harmless small business owners to supply sex workers, get money and job bribes for the extremely greedy shameless fraud indian intelligence and security agency employees . The harmless hardworking honest small business owners are ruthlessly exploited,cheated and defamed by fraud companies like google, tata as they want to acquire talent and technology cheaply or free of cost so that they can continue to make million dollar profits.
These internet and IT companies want all hardworking honest sincere individuals to be a cog in the wheel of these companies working as employees so that their CEOs and others can make millions of dollars annually in salaries and bonuses, The problem is particularly severe in panaji, goa where small business owners in the it and internet sector are being defamed as being idle, with google, tata bribing the fraud local security and intelligence agency employees to waste indian tax payer money that google, tata supplied goan SEX workers, cheater housewives andd other frauds who offer BRIBES own the online business of the small business owner to get the sex workers, cheater housewives and other frauds lucrative R&AW/CBI jobs at the expense of the real business owner.
The google competitor, domain investor and small business owner is not connected to tata, google, ntro employees in any way at all, yet in a clear case of defamation and slander, some extremely powerful official is misleading everyone in goa, with lies about the ownership of the online business. It appears to have been an extremely well planned online fraud, because one of the main beneficiaries of the fraud, goan bhandari R&AW employee sex worker sunaina chodan,2013 bsc was openly boasting in panaji goa, in 2012-2013 itself, that though she was not conected with the internet sector in any way at all, she would get credit and a government job falsely claiming to be an online expert though she is only a SEX expert.
So though the google,tata, NTRO, R&AW, CBI employees pretend to be very honest saints and role model citizens, very truthful,honest, law abiding when they ruthlessly stalked and tortured the harmless google competitor since 2010, in 2017 it is clear that these employees are the most SHAMELESS LIARS AND FRAUDS in the world, making completely fake claims about online work, online investment, paypal, bank account,to defame, cheat,exploit the harmless small business owner and cause her losses so that she is forced to take up a job,become a cog in the wheel of giant robot software factories that they operate.
Google,tata make millions of dollars in profit annually and could easily invest a few thousand dollars in domain names annually to study the link patterns, like the google competitor is doing. Instead these greedy unethical companies are completely devoid of morals and humanity, so they wil stoop to the lowest possible level to destroy competition, acquire talent and technology,so that the person is forced to apply for a job. If the person does not take up a job, he or she is subjected to identity theft like that shown in the 2009 Aamir Khan movie "3 Idiots" for the crime of not being an employee of any large company, with the stolen resume used by relatives, friends of top officials,and bribe givers to get R&AW/CBI jobs.
It appears that the problem of identity theft is most severe in the indian it and internet sector, because many it bloggers like trak.in, dollarshower have repeatedly warned their readers not to leave their job, the blog or website is only a part time hobby. To force the person to agree to identity theft, in addition to the resume, the savings, correspondence and memory of the harmless small business owner are stolen by the security agencies, CBI without a court order or legally valid reason .This clearly indicates that india is slowly becoming worse than china, in censorship and denial of fundamental rights to harmless citizens.
The cowardly mainstream media in India almost never has the courage or honesty to discuss the endless frauds, atrocities on harmless domain investors, small business owners by the security and intelligence agency employees freelancing for google,tata and other companies. For example, though the google competitor is working very hard in panaji, goa, the shameless goan gsb fraud mafia of nayak, mandrekar, caro, pritesh chodan and others in security,intelligence agencies are falsely claiming that their lazy greedy cheater SEX worker, fraud relatives and friends like indore document robber veena who do not spend any money,and do not make any money own the online business, wasting tax payer money in the process.
Google, tata and others specialize in defaming and framing small business owners, paypal account holders, domain investors pampering and rewarding frauds for making fake allegations without any proof at all against the harmless small business owner, to destroy the reputation of the small business owner and cause business losses, so that the person will agree to an extremely unfair and humiliating identity theft racket. In panaji, goa, the officials have such a negative attitude towards those who are self employed, that they are defamed as being unemployed with almost everyone believing the lies of the sex worker,fraud pampering and promoting pimp google, tata employees
As the indian mainstream media is refusing to cover the news of the ntro, CBI, google, tata SEX, CHEATING, IMPERSONATION FRAUD, it is important for the harmless engineer ,real domain investor being ruthlessly exploited, cheated and impersonated by the google, tata sponsored SEX QUEEN RAW EMPLOYEE sunaina chodnekar and others is forced to make people aware of the fraud, so that more companies and individuals are not duped by these powerful fraud officials.
If the large companies like SBI, BSNL, Ebay,domain registrars, webhosting companies were aware that slim westernized goan obc bhandari R&AW employee sunaina chodnekar 2013 bsc is only a slim google, tata approved CALL GIRL hired by the indian government only for having SEX with top officials, and does not have a btech 1993 ee degree,does not have any online or major offline experience, they would not give her many privileges or powers as she has not proved herself professionally, there are millions of women in india like offering sexual services to powerful men like goan raw employees sunaina, siddhi. Similarly few companies would be interested in other R&AW/CBI/indian intelligence employees with their real resume as they are mediocre lazy greedy inexperienced frauds, housewives with little or no professional expertise or knowledge. Investing in domain names is like leasing any asset, as the registrars do not provide domain names for free,yet ntro, cbi, google, tata officials are falsely claim goan sex workers, cheater housewives and other frauds own domain names to waste tax payer money paying all these frauds a monthly salary
For more than 6 years, the indian intelligence, security agencies, NTRO, google, tata are behaving as if the domains are being provided for free, when they falsely claim that goan sex worker, cheater housewife and other fraud indian government employees who do not spend any money at all, own this website to waste indian tax payer money paying them a salary in an indication of the rampant corruption in india in 2016. This website is under construction as information is being collected. Interested buyers can purchase the domain name, paying the market price instead of falsely claiming that google, tata sponsored goan sex workers, cheater housewives and other frauds own the website.
It is also a reflection of the lack of morals of indian companies like birla sunlife mutual fund that they allegedly continue to shower privileges on the google, tata sponsored SEX WORKER RAW EMPLOYEE sunaina chodnekar 2013 bsc, despite knowing that she has no investments in mutual funds, she is only an inexperienced lazy mediocre goan obc bhandari SEX EXPERT who sleeps with miserly NTRO, CBI officials who are too miserly to pay for call girls from their salary, and then make fake claims promoting any woman offering free sex. The mutual funds can easily refuse or revoke the privileges they have given to GOAN SEX EXPERT raw employee sunaina, yet some of these like birla sunlife allegedly continue to promote her, because they do not want to offend her powerful fraud sex partners in NTRO, CBI like j srinivasan, who hate their btech 1993 ee classmate and have duping companies worldwide that sunaina, the goan call girl R&AW employee who never answered JEE was their btech 1993 ee engineering classmate.
In India in a clear indication of the lack of financial literacy of the top intelligence and security agency officials,the banking and financial records are completely ignored, fake verbal claims are used to take decisions, hire sex workers,frauds.
When no one will claim ownership of any asset without paying for it, why is the indian government falsely claiming that the google, tata sponsored sex worker, cheater housewife and other fraud R&AW/CBI/indian intelligence agency employees who do not spend a single penny on domain names, own the domain names of another indian citizen and waste tax payer money on these 10 google, tata sponsored frauds paying them a monthly salary of Rs 20000($300) each or more, and pension for more than 4 years toll date ? Is it not a clear case of corruption and black money of top government officials?
The government employees are getting a salary and pension, yet it is a clear indication of their cruel animal like criminal nature that they are intentionally increasing the microwave radiation power levels to cause great pain to a harmless citizen in panaji, goa because she is a domain investor and has a paypal account. This exposes the hypocrisy of the digital india, cashless economy claims, who is interested in working on a computer if cruel sex animal government employees in panaji, goa are allowed to daily torture the computer user, causing very great pain, when no action is taken against the sex animal government employees of panaji, goa under section 323 of the indian penal code for torturing, causing great pain to a harmless person who has not interfered in their life or harmed anyone.
Most people do not realize that after a particular age it is not feasible for everyone to do a job, especially in a small town like panaji, which has limited opportunities. A person who has worked in a large company is used to a certain level of professionalism and honesty in a business, which is some times lacking. For example,when the officials in goa decided to reward goan gsb fraud diploma holder siddhi mandrekar for corporate espionage on the google competitor with a R&AW job and great powers, it indicated that these powerful officials lack ethics and humanity. As most businesses in goa,believe these officials, the google competitor realized that having any kind of deal with these businesses would be extremely risky, as they may frame her.
Any organization which is interested in helping those who are not well connected, or can help end the daily human rights abuses on harmless civilians especially the victim of the human cloning experiment, wastage of tax payer money, can send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Slowly the endless atrocities committed on small business owners by indian security and intelligence employees are becoming well known all over india,so fewer people are interested in starting their own business and would like to continue as a cog in the wheel, as an employee of a large company
Suppliers of radiation detection, shielding products interested in a free listing and review of their website can send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. The website is currently under construction, domain for sale, to anyone interested in paying the market price of the domain unlike the google, tata sponsored fraud indian intelligence employees. Allegedly bribed by google, tata, the indian government is wasting $18000 monthly for the last 6 years to deny opportunities, reduce the the income of a harmless indian citizen, in an indication of the endless atrocities of the cruel animal like indian intelligence and security agencies
The following lazy greedy fraud R&AW/CBI/indian intelligence employees goan gsb diploma holder siddhi mandrekar, slim goan 2013 bsc obc bhandari sex bribe giver sunaina chodnekar, goan gsb fraud housewife riddhi nayak who looks like kangana ranaut, bengaluru shivalli brahmin fraud housewife bbm nayanshree hathwar,gujju housewife naina mother of two sons, indore housewife veena, ruchika, asmita patel, allegedly sponsored by Google, tata, paypal, who have allegedly got permanent jobs in r&AW/CBI/indian intelligence agencies for their section 420 cheating, corporate espionage, lies, stalking and sex bribes to top officials are not associated with the website in any way at all, though the shameless top officials in the indian internet sector continue to waste infinite indian tax payer money to spread complete lies that these sluts, housewives and cheaters own the domain names. None of the lazy greedy sluts and cheaters want to spend a single paisa on domain names, then why do top officials falsely claim that the sluts and cheaters like riddhi siddhi, sunaina, asmita patel and others own the domain names?
The greedy good looking GSB cheater riddhi siddhi's powerful fraud friends and relatives specialize in defaming webmasters,domain investors so that the mediocre lazy greed gsb women in goa get great powers for doing nothing at all. Like all frauds these pampered cheater women and their powerful friends and relatives will never justify their lies openly. Any R&AW, CBI, NTRO officials how can help the domain investor to recover the Rs 1.1 lakh looted by R&AW employee nayanshree hathwar will be appreciated
Domain for sale
Any domain investor or company interested in purchasing the domain name can do so paying a reasonable fee to cover registration expenses.

The current divorce proceedings between veteran actor James Caan and his estranged wife Linda are not going anywhere near as well as he had originally hoped; in fact, the situation is beginning to get slightly ugly. The woman has both shot down his requests regarding the custody arrangements for their teenage son, as well flatly refused his wishes regarding the situation with spousal support. She recently counter-filed divorce documents towards the 74-year-old, and made it quite clear that things are not going to go in the manner in which he wishes them to.
Caan himself filed for divorce near the beginning of the month, citing irreconcilable differences. He is asking for joint physical and legal custody of the 16-year-old boy in question, named Jacob, but Linda is adamantly refusing to allow this to happen. She is requesting full legal and physical custody of the teen, and is unwilling to budge in terms of this matter (there is not yet any known reason why the woman is so insistent that the New York native not be allowed shared custody, such as a bad situation having occurred in the past or suchlike).
In terms of the spousal support arrangements, Caan made it clear in his documents that he wants his ex cut off from her right to finances in this sense, something she is not one bit happy about. In her counter-docs, Linda is insistent that she be given spousal support, based on the usual defense that she and her son have come to know a certain kind of lifestyle after the many years of being able to live it without worry, and being cut off financially will not be beneficial for either her or the boy.
This is not the first time that the pair have gotten involved in divorce proceedings. Indeed, this is actually the third time that the actor has filed for divorce in the almost 20 years the two have been married. The first effort to separate from his partner for good was made in 2005, but the matter was called off a month later after Caan said the couple had managed to find a way to patch things up and move forward with repairing their union. However, he called it quits on the marriage once more in 2009. The paperwork was filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, and listed the reason for the divorce once again as irreconcilable differences (this is most generally the written reason for a marital breakup among celebrities unless there is adultery involved, which is considered irrelevant in Los Angeles regarding divorce documents anyway.) At that point in time, the pair had two minor children (their oldest son, James, is now 19.)
It is not yet known whether or not James and Linda Caan will finally pull the plug on their marriage for good, or if they will yet again end up giving the situation another try. If things do end in an official divorce, this will be Caan's fourth failed marriage since 1961 (his first wife was Dee Jay Mathis, and they were married until 1966.)

Officials are human, just like the rest of us. That's why I really dislike the replay review of official's calls in sports, most of all football. It has removed the spontaneity and the human element from the games. I know this is one call that's not going to be reversed, but let's review my arguments for letting officials make the call anyway. Locally, the recent Washington vs. Stanford game is the most glaring example in a long time. A dramatic, hard-fought contest was essentially decided after a long-delayed and controversial replay review. Everyone – in the crowd, on the field and even those watching on TV – felt a little cheated, no matter which team they favored. I know I did. We again heard the familiar refrain, "let the game be decided on the field of play," followed by arguments that the players did decide the game. The review just confirmed that the proper call was made. But who is included in that field of play? Who are the players? Everyone would acknowledge that the actions of individual team members and coaches are part of the game and directly influence the outcome. Great plays are applauded and shown on replay. But so are fumbles, dropped passes, missed blocks and penalties. Coaches come up with the perfect play call but just as often make a boneheaded one. They make poor strategic decisions and substitute poorly. These mistakes are made in the heat of the action by humans trying to do the best they can. They directly impact the game and contribute to its unpredictability and to our enjoyment and anticipation of what may come next. And they are irreversible. Who would want to watch a game otherwise? Perfection is boring. So why are the officials treated differently? They are down on the field in uniform actively participating in every play. They have great games and ones they would just as soon forget. Some position themselves perfectly, making a correct call, while next missing a foot out of bounds or the ball touching the turf. As with the players and coaches, these goofs are made in split seconds with the best of intentions. They also directly impact the game, no more or less than those made by the other on-field participants. Yet we treat them much differently. Officials must be perfect. No human element here. The game is stopped, momentum disrupted, with everyone standing around wondering what the heck is taking so long. The only ones who are happy are those selling TV commercial time. Yes, technology has given us the tools to dissect each call, frame by frame. Sometimes, but not always, we get a clear image that allows the perfect call to be made. But at what price? Football gained its popularity over decades of contests determined on the field of play by people we can all identify with. We may not be able to physically compete, but who hasn't felt the pain of a fumble or a dumb decision. Who hasn't left our own field of play, be it at work or at home, wondering if we really made the correct call? We all second-guess ourselves. It's part of life. Officials used to be as much a part of this wonderful unpredictable game as the players and coaches. I wish they still were. Want to be a reader contributor to The Seattle Times' Take 2 blog?

Destiny 2
Destiny is the brand new shooter developed by Bungie, the creators of Halo and published by Activision, the publishers behind Call of Duty. Already this game has earned a mass amount of revenue, this is including the payment of $500 Million back to Activision which they fronted for Destiny to be created. Destiny stands as the most expensive game to develop in history.
Well since Destiny has been able to become so popular that is not only surpassed its $500 Million mark but also has earned millions upon millions of revenue it has already been announced by Activision & Destiny that "Destiny 2" is now in development. This doesn't come as a surprise as sequels in the video game industry are just as common as sequels in the movie industry.
Activision & Bungie noted that in the second addition of Destiny you can expect a compelling story line & a larger world with higher quality visuals to be available at your finger tips. Bungie noted that since they wanted to make Destiny a cross platform title they had to make sure the visuals could compare equal to one another on all systems. Destiny 2 will be in development for only the Xbox One & Playstation 4. Those looking forward to the sequel will be pleased to know that Destiny 2 will have a much larger scale of MMO Elements for players to enjoy.
We will keep you updated on all new information that is released regarding Destiny 2 & its development.

Caramelized Bananas
Caramelized bananas are a classic Chinese restaurant dessert. With this banana recipe you end up with a crackly, cooled candy glaze surrounding soft, piping-hot bananas at the center — the best of both worlds.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
4 firm bananas
Cooking oil for deep-frying
7 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons water
Ice cubes in cold water
Place the sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently until the seeds are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Immediately remove from the pan to cool.
Crack the egg and pour it into a small bowl, lightly beating it with a whisk or fork.
Place the flour in a dish.
Peel and cut the bananas into thirds.
In a wok, heat the oil for deep-frying to 360 degrees.
Just before deep-frying, coat the bananas in the flour, then in the egg, and back to the flour, shaking off the excess.
Using a pair of chopsticks or a slotted spoon, carefully lower the banana pieces into the hot oil.
Deep-fry, a few pieces at a time, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Remove the bananas with a slotted spoon and dip them into the ice water.
Drain the bananas on paper towels.
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat until the mixture caramelizes and turns to a pale straw color, about 8 minutes.
You don't have to stir it because the sugar should melt and incorporate into the water.
Immediately remove from the heat.
The syrup will continue to cook after you remove it from the heat, and the color will turn golden in a few seconds.
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or foil.
Top with an oiled cooling rack.
Lay the fried bananas on the rack, pour the sugar syrup over the bananas, and then sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
Gently place the bananas on a lightly greased serving plate and serve immediately.
Even after you dunk the caramelized bananas into the ice water, they still may stick to the serving plate. Grease the dish with a little cooking oil or butter, and you won't leave any delicious bits stuck behind.
Create your own caramelized fruit dessert by using mangoes, pears, peaches, or whatever is ripe and fresh in your area. It's hard to find a fruit that won't benefit from this candied treatment.

You can't transform someone without a little effort which is how I came to take Princess shopping on a Saturday afternoon. She needed clothes that capture her mixture of innocent looking and yet slutty minded and my Master had given me the responsibility to find them for her.
I started emphatically with a white rubber skirt. All schoolgirlish charm until you get close up and realise its latex inspired ways. Just a pity that there was no room to misbehave in the changing rooms while she was wearing it.
Then an impulsive wander into a store neither of us had heard of paid dividends with a beautiful black lace bra, a leather skirt, a very short tennis style skirt that cries out for no underwear and a black dress that just needs stockings and suspenders to complete the look.
I was amused to see how easy it is for two women shopping together to share a changing room like friends on a day out. None of that being banished to lurk around outside like when you're a man. This changing room was more spacious and I got as far as stripping off but the pressure of people queuing right outside prevented me from ordering Princess to go further.
I knew my Master wouldn't be happy when he had specifically instructed Princess to lick my clit in every single changing room when we were out. I needed somewhere the noise of other people would cure my nerves not increase them.
Like so many things on the British high street, the answer was Marks and Spencer. The changing rooms in Oxford Street are spacious and just public enough to get private. Plus Princess needed a white shirt to go with that leather skirt.
Wearing only her shirt, Princess finally got to lick my dripping wet cunt as I leaned against the wall of the changing room hearing other women on either side discussing their day to day lives, completely unaware of the orgasm happening just beside them.
I'm not sure which felt filthier afterwards: seeing Princess with the lipstick she stopped off to apply in MAC on the way to M&S smeared all over her now soaking wet face or seeing my cunt covered in it as I got dressed again. Either way I suspect we were the only people having so much fun in amongst the non iron shirts and practical shoes today.
Next stop was much more overtly sexual with a trip to Ann Summers for lingerie. One of my orders to Princess is to get her wearing the kind of underwear that is the opposite of practical. We weren't able to share a changing room here but she did leave with a black harness bra so sexy I was soaking wet again instantly.
My Master seemed to approve of our excursion so far and ordered me to send Princess home dressed for him to take her out. One last changing room and I had her dressed in that harness bra with a top sheer enough to hint at it underneath and the leather skirt before taking her home, very pleased with her obedience.
By the time I'd walked in the door, my Master had sent me a photo on her on her knees with his cock in her mouth. I think he liked the bra as much as I did…

Yesterday I found out the official blurb for Bite Me!!! I must say I am so beyond excited for this title to come out and cannot wait to get my greedy little hands on it! March 25th 2014 cannot get here fast enough!
The Blurb:
Livy Kowalski has no time for idiots. When you shapeshift into a honey badger, getting through life's irritants is a finely honed skill. Until she gets stuck housing her nutso cousin and dealing with her dad's untimely and unexplained demise.
That's where Vic Barinov comes in—or his house does. Vic can't step outside without coming back to find Livy devouring his honey stash and getting the TV remote sticky. It gets his animal instincts all riled up. But he'll have to woo her at high speed: all hell is breaking loose, and Livy is leading the charge…

Serving Others is The Only Way to Success Online
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately as to why I haven't had much success in the past in IM, partially because I was too focused on the monetary gain rather than what's more important, helping to solve the problems of others. Though the concept is nothing new, many still overlook this simple aspect of the online marketing world. Many marketers claim to wanna help others, but their intentions may not be truly genuine and times may be coupled with false sincerity.Continue Reading

Ooo, more angular kids on the block... this time it's We Are Scientists, one of the A&R hits of the SXSW festival, and already here they go with a major label deal and an infectious, dance floor worrying debut single.
So, what's the score? Simply put, it's the sound of* Hot Hot Heat* taken to a hep New York suburb, and, putting your jaded misgivings aside, 'Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt' is a summer scorcher of a pop smash (copyright Sun Newspaper [A group of the Rupert Murdoch-owned News Corporation]). It's a freewheeling, jerking tale of casual, danger-free love, and it says "hey, I'm a geek, but have sex with me, it doesn't matter baby, it's like the summer of free love all over again, suga". What's more, it's a rollicking hi-hat hugging rumbustuous tune and worth of anyone's £2.

These guys are hiLARious! OMG we bust laughing. I played this four times for the kids (in a row!) and we were rolling on the floor in hilarity. I love these guys!
I did a little digging and discovered that they are Mick Dow and Maddy Sparham from the UK, also known as the comedy team Men in Coats. They became widely known after the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2002, and after this video circulated like wildfire across the Internet. ROFL, no kidding!!
They have a hilarious video of their Royal Variety Show performance and a stint in Holland. Go to the Men in Coats website and click "View Movie."
