Signalling, Incumbency Advantage, and Optimal Reelection Thresholds
Francesco Caselli, Thomas E. Cunningham, Massimo Morelli, Inés Moreno de Barreda
NBER Working Paper No. 17833
Much literature on political behavior treats politicians as motivated by reelection, choosing actions to signal their types to voters. We identify two novel implications of models in which signalling incentives are important. First, because incumbents only care about clearing a reelection hurdle, signals will tend to cluster just above the threshold needed for reelection. This generates a skew distribution of signals leading to an incumbency advantage in the probability of election. Second, voters can exploit the signalling behavior of politicians by precommitting to a higher threshold for signals received. Raising the threshold discourages signalling effort by low quality politicians but encourages effort by high quality politicians, thus increasing the separation of signals and improving the selection function of an election. This precommitment has a simple institutional interpretation as a supermajority rule, requiring that incumbents exceed some fraction of votes greater than 50% to be reelected.

NFL season is well under way. Heading into week 9, we pretty much have an idea of which teams are good and which teams suck. For example, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars… SUCK! Atlanta Falcons, NY Giants and Green Bay Packers… GOOD! For all of you out there that like to bet on NFL Football, I have a lock for you this week. Sunday Night Football, Dallas Cowboys against the Atlanta Falcons, in Atlanta. The Falcons are favored by a measly 4.5 points. The Falcons, as many of you already know, are 7-0 this year. They have a top 5 quarterback in Matt Ryan, top 5 running back in Michael Turner, a top tier tight end in Tony Gonzalez and top tier wide receivers in Julio Jones and Roddy White. They're defense isn't as great but are ranked 10th in passing. Fortunately for them, the Dallas Cowboys are coming to town. The same 'boys who are ranked 28th in the league in rushing. They have an overrated quarterback in Tony Romo, no running game, a diva WR in Dez Bryant and an aging defense. Now its time for you to cash in on this. Take the birds, put the house on it… Thank me Monday morning.
What a game today against the Chargers! Ok, maybe it wasn't that pretty of a game but it went to overtime and in the wee minutes of the extra period, Tim Tebow, the prophet, marches his followers down the field and puts his team in a position to win it with a field goal… and they do. I'm not hear to talk about the Xs and Os of the game. I'm here to say one thing: Tell John Elway and John Fox to get off the bandwagon. I've never, ever, in any sport, seen 2 guys high up in an organization VERBALLY and PUBLICLY throw one of their own under the bus week after week. Everyone has said that Tebow couldn't make it as a starter in the league; how it was a mistake that the Broncos drafted him; how it was a mistake to bench Kyle Orton and then even release him. Well folks, here's a slice of crow's pie. Tebow is 5-1 in his last 6 starts and has put his team in a position to win the AFC West. The San Diego Chargers are out. The Kansas City Chiefs are out. If the Broncos defense led by Von Miller, Champ Bailey and Elvis Dummerville can continue doing what they do, this fairytale ride might not end as soon as you think. Next up for the Broncos, the struggling Vikings in Minnesota.
Just when you thought that Randy Moss would take a team to the next level…BOOM! Wrong again. They didn't need him in New England after he kept mouthing off about his contract. He turned the Minnesota Vikings into a bigger circus, if that's even possible. Then they released him too. And now in his debut with the Titans, they lose to the hapless Miami Dolphins. Sure, the Titans didn't have Vince Young and Kerry Collins got injured in the game but they still had enough fire power to win this games. I'm a big believer in team chemistry and locker room cancers. Randy Moss is about to join the Terrell Owens club of "plenty of talent, but no takers…" There is no specific event that triggered Moss' fall from grace. He wasn't happy in Minnesota when they had Chris Carter and Dante Culpepper. He wasn't happy in Oakland (understandably so). He barked up the wrong tree in New England and got traded for a measly mid-round draft pick. He couldn't get it together in Minnesota and now this. I got a feeling that Jeff Fisher is going to regret this decision in a few weeks. Moss is a sure fire hall-of-famer but his reputation is being tarnished. It's a good thing this is the MLB where players are judged on their character along with their stats. Look what happened to Albert Bell. Stay tuned next week for the continuation of this soap opera, the saga continues.
LOCK of the Week
5-0!!! 5-0!!! 5-0!!! For those of you who haven't been following/profiting from my picks over the past month, I've hit a career high 5 "LOCK of the Week"s in a row. Yeah, I'm bragging and jinxing but I do know at least one person has been profiting from my "advice." The secret to my success…well, I can't tell you or else it wouldn't be a secret and you wouldn't need me anymore. Enough of the boasting, time for business. This week's spreads are pretty tough. There aren't that many games that I like but you know me, I haven't let you down in over a month and I don't plan on doing so now. So without further adue, the LOCK of the Week is NY Jets -3 at the Oakland Raiders. Take the Jets -3, take it now, take it before the spread moves. Vegas has the line at -3 and well, that's where I've placed my bets. These two franchises are going in two different directions. The Jets are serious playoff contenders and the Raiders, well I hate to use a cliche` but they are MAJOR pretenders. The Jets are coming off a solid performance against the Bengals while the Raiders, just another embarrassing 34-3 loss at the hands of the Saints.
Al Davis: Commitment to Failure
So, it looks like it might all go down this week. For those of you who have been living in a cave for the past year, Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis and head coach Lane Kiffin have been butting heads. Davis wants Kiffin to quit so he doesn't have to pay his contract. Kiffin wants to be paid. In Kiffin's defense, Davis is a moron. I wouldn't quit either. I want my millions. Kiffin was a solid coach in SC. He's done the best he can with a horrible team, let alone a meddling miser like Davis. Davis has been keeping this team down for years. He didn't like Mike Shanahan and look what he's done/doing in Denver. There's a line that owners aren't supposed to cross and Davis crossed it years ago. The owner is supposed to "own." Davis is trying to play head coach. He wants Kiffin to be a puppet. Let me tell you, I've hated the Raiders ever since I could remember (go Chiefs!!!). But now I just feel sorry for those players. The Raiders have talent. They have McFadden, Jamarcus and Michael Bush for starters. Rumors have Davis interviewing the coaching staff for a replacement like Paul Hackett. If you don't know who he is, go and see what he did with the USC Trojans and the Kansas City Chiefs. If this team is going to move on, they need to "cut" Davis. Unfortunately, he holds the cards. Frankly, the league needs to step in. The Clippers of the NFL are making fools of themselves, and they owe it all to their owner. Time to start the movement, FIRE AL DAVIS!!! FIRE AL DAVIS!!! FIRE AL DAVIS!!!
LOCK of the Week
2 LOCKS so far this season and twice I got 'em right. You gotta stick with what's hot, and right now ONTHEBUZZER is sizzling. Alright, enough bragging. My pick for Week 4 of the NFL season comes from the San Diego Chargers -7 at the Oakland Raiders game. If anyone watched what the Chargers did last Monday night to the Packers, you'll know that this is money in the bank. The Raiders suck, period. They don't even know who's gonna be their coach. On the othe hand, if you've seen Chargers' quarterback Philip Rivers (and I hate to admit it), he's been playing at whole different level. The Charger defense is finally coming around. A divisional game, they (the Chargers) don't have a choice. It's just a matter of whether they're gonna blow them out early or late. I'd put my money on early but let's not get carried away. Chargers -7. Enjoy the $$$.
LOCK of the Week
Football season is underway and it's time for us regular folks to make some money. After running through this weekend's NFL and NCAA football games, I'm ready to let you in on my "LOCK" of the week: the San Diego Chargers at the Denver Broncos. It's a pick 'em. After the way the Broncos torched the Raiders last week (I know, it's the Raiders), I'm beginning to believe the Jay Cutler hype. This guy is turning out to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league. We all know about that Mile-High mystique. Denver's not the easiest place to play in. Plus, don't think that the Broncos forgot what happened the last time these two teams met when Chargers' QB Philip Rivers began trash tralking at the end of a meaningless win over the Broncos. As for the Chargers, they struggled against Carolina last week. LB Shawne Merriman is officially out for the rest of the season. Plus, the Chargers are notoriously slow starters. Frankly, I'm not sold on Rivers. It's payback time for the Broncos and hopefully payday for all you who like to dabble in the art of sports betting. Well folks, there you have it. Put the house on it or just put a $20 spot on it, it's your call. You can thank me on Monday. And remember, I accept tips…
JaMarcus Russell Has Been Spotted
Folks, it's week 13 and finally we have a JaMarcus Russell sighting. The #1 draft pick by the Oakland Raiders/holdout made a brief appearance today. 4-7, 56 yds, no tds, no pics, no thanks. I wonder how good this guy would be by now if he went to training camp and took in a couple of reps. The fans have been waiting for this guy with open arms. The Oakland quarterback job has been filled and unfilled by many, from Culpepper, to McCown to the janitor in Section 256-A. While Russell might not get a decent chance to play this year, he should get the starting nod for the 2008 season. if he's half the quarterback he was at LSU, Raider nation might see some clear skies in the horizon, might.
My Apologies to Raiders Running Back Justin Fargas
I doubted him, I hated on him, "he's too small," and then on October 29, I picked him up on my fantasy league. The results: 384 rushing yds, 2 tds, 67 receiving yards in 4 games. Not bad for a guy whose started off the season behind Lamont Jordan and in front of overrated Dominic Rhodes. Oakland Raider running back Justin Fargas isn't a premier back in the league, but he is definitely getting the job. For a Raider team that hasn't had much to celebrate in say 20 years or so, Fargas has given them something to look forward to. The Raiders went into Arrowhead on Sunday and beat the Chiefs 20-17, with the go ahead score coming on Fargas' 14 yd touchdown run. It's no surprise to many that this guy is a former USC Trojan. That's probably where he's learned the Xs and Os of the game. Fight on Fargas, Fight on!!!
Daunte Culpepper, He's back folks…
Warn the town! Kudos to Raider QB Daunte Culpepper for everything he's been through. After being escorted of Dolphins' premises in the offseason, he was signed by the Raiders, only to find out that he is 3rd in-line behind #1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell and journeyman Josh McCown. Russell held out over contract negotiations, and Culpepper watched as McCown led the Raider to a 1-2 records. Well, on Sunday, he finally got his change, not only to start, but to show the Dolphins was Trent Green will never give them. Culpepper's line: 75 passing yds, 28 rushing yds, 5 total tds, and most importantly, the win. The knee looked fine to me folks. I had this guy on my fantasy team when he threw 40 tds in a year but was overshadowed by Peyton Manning's records setting year. I've been lobbying for him to start and it look like he's finally got his chance. Good luck, buddy, keep that train rolling…

A three-fold crossrip.
Let's talk about "window areas."
It's an idea conceived by the late, great John A. Keel to describe the liminal spaces that connect parts of the Super Spectrum that are otherwise utterly separate. It's an expansion on the idea of the "Super-Sargasso Sea" put forth by Charles Fort, father of the examination of the weird – the "damned," he called it – in the real world. It's a similar notion to how our world connects to the world of the sídhe – the mound elves – of Irish and Scottish mythology, and the basis for the Samhain festival. If you're into the many-worlds interpretation of reality or brane cosmology, window areas are the spots where infinite soap bubble universes intersect and bleed into one another. It's also the basically the same phenomena as the "thinnies" in Stephen King's fiction.
It's a concept I'm certain Jonathan Raab is familiar with. Practitioners of the…

It took only a few years for Reflection Marketing to develop from a small start-up business into a leading marketing agency counting top brands like UBS, Heineken, Zurich and Swisscom amongst its references. In doing that, its Swiss proprietors have followed a simple but effective maxim.
They have strategically repositioned brands like Audemars Piguet and Julius Bär (see picture below), worked out new live marketing strategies for Emmi and Swisscom and developed marketing concepts for the world expos in Shanghai and Milan (see picture above) . They have always remained true to the motto: "Your brand is exactly as good as your customer perceives it". This has been the watchword according to which Reflection Marketing has worked ever since it was founded as a start-up by Pascal Kreder and Urs Stamm in Bassersdorf (Canton Zurich) in 2001. The approach adopted by the agency, which has specialised in consultancy for strategic marketing and live marketing, is already proclaimed clearly by its name: "Reflection". This means the consistent inclusion of the target group's point of view in strategies and solutions, and this is something that is otherwise scarcely covered in the consulting sector.
Seen from the target group's perspective
It was this recognition more than ten years ago that led the two founders, who at the time were members of the management of Mastercard/Europay, to set up their own business. Pascal Kreder remembers that "in the intensive work we did with agencies, it was striking that there was inadequate consideration of concepts and strategies from the point of view of the market". Does the concept cover the needs of the target groups? Is it sufficiently relevant? Does it work in the marketplace? In order to close this gap in consultancy services, Kreder and Stamm finally founded Reflection Marketing AG.
It took very little time for the for the company to establish a successful footing on the market. Only a matter of weeks after its creation, it was commissioned by the large commercial bank, UBS, to develop a new strategy for the UBS KeyClub. Following this, more and more top clients were won over for the portfolio. Another important chapter in the company's history began in 2003 when it entered into cooperation with the Geneva-based event agency, MCI. Reflection Marketing developed novel, professional measurement tools for MCI events and congresses and, in doing so, built up skills in live marketing.
25 of the 50 top Swiss brands as clients
In order to be able to grow further, the company moved to new premises in Dübendorf (Canton Zurich) in 2004, and its current home is in Wallisellen. Starting in 2007, Reflection Marketing added new strategy models and measurement solutions to its range of services and in particular strengthened its positioning in strategic marketing. That certainly paid off, for in the years that followed the company became established as a top address for marketing consulting and live-marketing consulting. In 2105, 25 of the top Swiss brands were amongst the clients served by Reflection Marketing. "Although only a small marketing agency," Kreder reports, "we were entrusted with realigning top brands and their budgets running into millions. That is not something that happens automatically".
The next step came in 2015, when Reflection Marketing was acquired by the live-marketing company, MCH Group, on 1 January. Today, the agency is being run as an autonomous subsidiary within the group. Its range of activities encompasses numerous consulting services in marketing and live marketing. Its most important services include audits and models for controlling the marketing and communication strategy and also the ideal positioning of businesses. In live marketing its consultants review and develop strategies for businesses and also check and strengthen sponsoring arrangements, events and trade fairs with measurement tools developed in house. In addition to that, Reflection Marketing provides support to distinguished national and international sports associations and event organisers in repositioning their events and in improving their marketing. It always has its focus on optimum external perception and customer experience.$
Further information about the company and its range of services is to be found on Reflection Marketing AG's website.

Easy French Macaron Recipe
A macaron is a French sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two biscuits (cookies). The name is derived from the Italian word macarone, maccarone or maccherone, the Italian meringue.In Paris, the Ladurée chain of pastry shops has been known for its macarons for about 150 years.
I was never fascinated by Macarons until I followed Pooja Dhingra who is also know Macaron Queen of Mumbai on Instagram. She is the owner of Le 15 Patisserie which is one of the most famous bakeries in Mumbai.
After getting introduced to these beauties i planned to bake them on my own. I read everywhere that they are not easy to make and are considered finicky. But still i wanted to give it a shot. My 1st attempt failed drastically as they were totally flat. This was my 2nd attempt and i did fairly well i think. Obviously i need to improve a lot as they are not perfect. I followed Beth's foolproof recipe and its really amazing. Each and every step is explained in detail.
Recipe Adapted from BETH'S FOOLPROOF FRENCH MACARONS
Makes 24 completed sandwich cookies
For Macarons
3 Egg Whites
¼ cup white sugar (50 g)
2 cups confectioners sugar (200 g)
1 cup almond flour (120 g) (SEE NOTE BELOW)
pinch of salt
¼ tsp cream of tartar (2 ml) * You can omit if needed, just may take a bit longer to reach stiff peaks but the recipe will still work)
For Filling
Preheat oven to 300F degrees
Beat egg whites until foamy, then add salt, cream of tartar and white sugar for 8-10 mins. TIP: #1 eggwhites should be room temp. To create room temp eggs, submerge in warm water for 5 mins.
Whip until they form a peak that stands upright. Think Seattle Space needle.
Then add the food coloring. TIP#2 Color does fade as it cooks, so do a shade or two darker than you want them to be.
TIP#3 Sift almond flour, and powdered sugar. What remains will be the larger lumps of almond pieces. Just discard those, or use them to snack on 🙂 You want a really fine powder mixture to create a smooth and pretty on top to your cookie.
Fold flour/sugar mixture into the egg white mixture. TIP#4 This is where all your hard work can really go wrong. Under mix and your macaroons will be lumpy and cracked when the bake with no feet, over mix and your macaroons will be flat and won't have feet, the mark of a well-made macaron. In my experience 65-75 turns of your spatula when folding is about the right amount of time. But again, it can be tricky, depends on how strong you are, Ha! So it can take a few tries to get it right. But when you do, the trumpets will blare and you will feel SO accomplished!
Transfer batter to a pastry bag.
Pipe out 1 inch rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
TIP#5: tap the pan hard at least 2-3 times to release the air bubbles. This will prevent the tops of your macaroons from cracking.
TIP#6 Let them sit out for 2–30 mins, or up to an hour if you want. This will allow them time to dry out a bit before hitting the hot oven. They should be "tacky" to the touch, but not stick to your fingertips. This is another important step to assuring your macarons develop feet! When they dry out they can't spread out in the oven, and are forced to rise up. That's what creates the feet!
Bake for 20 mins. DO NOT UNDER BAKE, even if they look done! Otherwise they will stick to your tray.
Reverse cookie shells on their backs, and pipe a small mound of nutella filling on one of them.
Helpful Tips from Kawaii's kitchen
There are several things that might affect the looks of your macarons, so here are a few tips on common problems considering the surface and shape of macarons.
If your macaron shells are cracked, your oven temperature might be too high. Just try to bake the next batch at a lower temperature, even if it is below the temperature in the recipe as each oven is a little different!
For avoiding bubbles, you need to smoothen the batter after folding in the almond-sugar mix into the meringue. You do that by using a bowl scraper and scrape the batter very carefully until smooth and rather liquid (test by taking some batter up on the scraper and letting it "fall down" into the bowl – if it doesn't fall in chunks but runs smoothly, it's good!) but be careful not to over mix and break down too much of the meringue!
For a smooth and even surface, the consistency of the batter needs to be right. If you mix or even beat the meringue for too long, its flufflyness will dissolve, so fold in the dry ingredients very carefully. But the batter also needs to be liquid enough so that the unbaked macaron's surface can flatten after being piped onto the baking paper sheet. You achieve this consistency by carefully scraping the dough inside the bowl with a bowl scraper until it falls down in ribbons (as described above – see "avoiding bubbles"). However, if the macarons don't flatten on their own, try to move the baking tray from left to right or back and forth to smoothen the macarons' surfaces.
"le pied" – getting the little foot of the macaron shells right:
Try to pipe the macarons in a "blob", not in a swirl. You do that by holding the piping tip about 3mm over the baking paper sheet, then carefully press a little batter onto the sheet while lifting the piping tip another 2-3mm. The batter should come out of the piping tip in a flat, round drop. Shortly before your macaron is large enough, stop squeezing out the batter and carefully remove the piping tip from the macaron with a smooth, swirl-like movement so that the vanishing batter-stream evenly unites with the whole macaron. This way, you keep the surface as flat as possible.
By piping the macaron in a "blob", you prevent air bubbles in the batter so that the macaron rises evenly, which is – as far as I experienced – important for getting "le pied".
Let the macarons sit for a while before baking and let their surfaces dry until a skin has formed (this usually takes about 10-20 minutes; test by carefully touching the surface of an unbaked macaron – when the batter does not stick to your fingertip anymore, they're ready to be baked) so that the macaron shells can rise evenly.
If you live in a cold and humid climate, it might be helpful to preheat the baking trays (for example putting them into the oven while preheating the oven) before piping the macarons on it. In my experience, the heat from the tray helps the macarons dry when the surrounding air is too humid or too cold.

Riding On A Star
There's a scene in "Night at the Opera" where Groucho checks into his little cabin on the ocean liner and then hears a knock on the door. A porter enters. Another knock. Room service. Another knock. Another. Five people, then ten-- all in the little cabin, and they keep coming.
Fall, 2007. I sat slumped on the couch, Tarana tucked lazily under one arm, Nikhil lying on the other side, the top of his head brushing against me. One window was cracked open and the air felt like leaves on the ground and smelled like pine needles in a campfire. It was a dark and rainy late afternoon, a ways to go before dinner. By now all four Marx Brothers were in the little cabin, surrounded by assorted plumbers, housekeepers, and lost travelers all repositioning themselves around suitcases, toolboxes and silver serving dishes with steam escaping from under the lids. More knocks on the cabin door, and more people: sea captains with monocles, women with bumpy blond hair parted on the side.
The scene reached a critical combination of too many people in too little space and the kids started laughing, and the laughter ratcheted up a little with each new knock on the door. The camera caught Harpo's big eyes and nutty smile, the kids got on their knees on the floor to be closer to the screen. I forget how the movie scene ends, but I remember the black and white from the screen lighting their faces. Tarana laughed and bit her lower lip. Nikhil was catching the light in his mouth like a snowflake.
Our children fly past us, riding on a star. But every once in a while we get to ride along.

The Hungarian government has missed to express their condolences for the death of Elie Wiesel, writer and Holocaust survivor passed away on 2 July 2016 in New York. In 1944, when he was 15, Wiesel was deported from his town in Transylvania to Auschwitz and then do Buchenwald.
In 2012, the Nobel Prize winner Wiesel renounced the Hungarian 'Grand Cross' state award he received in 2004 in protest against what he said was a "whitewashing" of the role of former Hungarian governments in the deportation of Jews during World War Two.

Your guide to the Olympics at the halfway point
2014 Winter Olympics
by Andrew Branch & Lynde Langdon
Posted 2/15/14, 11:20 am
One week into the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, controversy has given way to sport. Fears of terrorism have been assuaged as tens of thousands of Russian security officers keep their eyes peeled. And Russia's treatment of homosexuals hasn't been much of an issue, either. Gay members of the U.S. delegation, said they found Russians "friendly."
Here's a recap of the first week's happenings:
Skiing. Americans dominated slopestyle skiing, a new event this year in which skiers perform skateboard-style tricks on a course of ramps and obstacles. Americans swept men's slopestyle, and took silver in the women's event. Overall, Americans have done well in this year's new events, including slopestyle and team figure skating.
Snowboarding. Shaun White, America's best-known snowboarder, surprised everyone by missing the podium altogether and coming in fourth in the halfpipe. White opted to go all-in on the halfpipe and dropped out of slopestyle snowboarding, leaving American newcomer Sage Kotsenburg to win the gold medal. Americans won gold in women's halfpipe and slopestyle and a bronze in women's halfpipe.
Figure Skating. The tsar of Russian figure skating, four-time medal winner Evgeni Plushenko, bowed out of the men's competition Thursday just before his skate. The 31-year-old athlete has battled a back injury that threatened to keep him from the Winter Games altogether. He helped Russia win gold in team figure skating, but was in too much pain to compete in the individual event. After leaving the ice, he said he was ending his competitive career. Plushenko's exit makes room on the stage for Russian phenom Julia Lipnitskaia, a 15-year-old who skated almost flawlessly in the team competition.
Speedskating. Zhang Hong gave China its first speedskating gold in the women's 1,000 meters Thursday. Zhang won by a generous margin of seven-10ths of a second.
Outside the competition. Sochi has had bizarrely warm temperatures this week. American skier Bobby Brown shed his coat and competed in a T-shirt in almost 60-degree temps, while Russian course workers cleared the slopes shirtless. Sportscaster Bob Costas, NBC's Olympics anchor for years, was sidelined by an unsightly eye infection that made him the butt of social media jokes. Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera were called in to sub. By now everyone knows about the hilariously bad accommodations in Sochi, from multiple-occupancy toilet rooms to doors without handles.
Looking ahead:
Event climaxes. Hockey playoffs started today for women and Tuesday for men. The U.S. men defeated Russia 3-2 today in an exciting shootout, with Russian President Vladimir Putin looking on. T.J. Oshie scored the winning goal for the Americans. The top four curling teams face off starting Wednesday.
Bobsledding. Jamaica's bobsled team faced long odds to even get to the Olympics. They had to raise travel expenses, then the airline lost their gear, delaying their practice runs. But they're back on track now and will compete Sunday and Monday. The U.S. women's team, whose inclusion of track star Lolo Jones caused controversy, will compete Tuesday and Wednesday.
Women's figure skating. On Wednesday, U.S. skaters Gracie Gold and Ashley Wagner compete for gold against Lipnitskaia, who is expected to perform her well-known long program in which she plays the girl in the red coat from Schindler's List.

This wasn't my Grammy's Grammy's, I'm gonna tell ya that.
God was blasphemed in a horrific way with this Mass homosexual wedding at the end of the Grammy's and a song, "We can't change", although the chorus of the song does say "we can change".
So which one is it?
If you don't believe in that evil blasphemy that they were celebrating there, then you can change. But if you do believe in it then you can't change.
But God and the Gospel can change a life, a life like Russell Wilson, the wining Quarter Back of the Super Bowl, who gave glory to God. That was so encouraging. What an opportunity to celebrate how good our God is. Even after such a sad night at the Grammy's.
Lift Him up everywhere you go, exalt Him, and watch Him work!

Help Bere go to MexicoRead Now
Hello Everyone,
For the last two years I have participated in a really important ceremony in Mexico. The ceremony is organized by elders that are giving us permission to one day host ceremonies and have our own temescal in our community. For me, this commitment is an 8 year long process. 2014 marks my 3rd year and I am supper excited. As some of you may know, I transitioned into being self employed this fall and the journey has been beautiful but it is also having me get used to a different flow of money and resources. I am currently asking for people to help support me get to Mexico. I was going to start a fundraising page but instead, I decided to make hella pomadas and earrings and just have people support me by buying a product on my Cantos De La Tierra online changarrito. You can buy it for a friend, a family member, for people to use at your office or work space, or for yourself. Everything I make is organic, chemical free, and made with hella love. I will be posting a set of 50 pairs of earrings to sell in the next week. Everything you purchase is supporting me in gaining skills and knowledge that will benefit community. One day I hope that you can use the community temescal that I open up. If you do not want to buy a product you can schedule a limpia session, a massage session, a consultation, and also just donate what you can/want via my website. Click the DONATE button on the home page and give as you wish.
Thank you so much! Share this with your friends and networks if possible.

T-Mobile US makes peace offering with $250 BlackBerry olive branch
Sorry we insulted you. How about a new phone?
In a move to calm outraged BlackBerry fanbois after suggesting they should get an iPhone, T-Mobile US is offering them $200 towards any newer handset available, be it a BlackBerry, Android gadget or iPhone.
The limited-time offer is open to subscribers and anyone who signs up to the wireless carrier. Folks already on T-Mob US with a BlackBerry who opt for the new Q10 or Z10 will get an additional $50 credit.
The move comes after the network giant faced public criticism from BlackBerry over an advertising campaign that encouraged BlackBurgers to migrate to the Apple iPhone.
Shortly after the ads appeared, BlackBerry CEO John Chen wrote a letter criticizing T-Mobile US for what he called a "clearly inappropriate" marketing campaign that left him "outraged".
T-Mobile US CEO John Legere reacted to the criticism in his usual reserved and diplomatic manner.
Was going to engage John Chen on Twitter, but turns out he's not here. I'll check MySpace. Don't worry @BlackBerry Something in the works!
— John Legere (@JohnLegere) February 19, 2014
Shortly after, however, the carrier moved to ease tensions with BlackBerry and its loyal customers, announcing that it would offer the credit for new BlackBerry (and Android and iPhone) handsets.
"We believe the best wireless service gives customers complete freedom and choice, and that's what we are doing with a new offer for BlackBerry users we are announcing today," wrote T-Mobile US chief marketing officer Mike Sievert in a letter to customers.
"We've been working overtime here to find the best possible way to show BlackBerry users exactly how much we appreciate and respect your passion for and loyalty to T-Mobile and to BlackBerry."
In T-Mobile US's defense, BlackBerry has been struggling in the market, to say the least. The platform sits a solid fourth in the smartphone space and continues to lose ground to Android, iOS and even Windows Phone. That a network carrier would offer a contingency plan should BlackBerry finally go down the drain is hardly a shock. ®

Are you ready for my Chicago Run Mag Mile Half Marathon Review and Recap? GOOD. The only race that takes you directly up Chicago's famous Magnificent Mile is a fantastic PR course. Found out why!
Run Mag Mile Half Marathon Review
As many of you know, this was my third time running the race, and my first time racing it. Here is my recap and review from the 2014 race and the 2015 race, which I ran as training for marathons and also in "coach" form. And in a crown. 😀 I selected this race as my goal half marathon for the summer because of its fast course and also my familiarity with it.
Run Mag Mile General Information
The Run Mag Mile Half marathon is a great option for those that want a more "city" half marathon and fewer crowds than the later-in-the-summer Chicago Half Marathon (which I have also raced, but it was before the blog, and I wasn't so impressed). The half marathon was $109, and the 5K option, which Alex did, was $49. Entry includes finishers medal (for the half),
long sleeve tech shirt (men's and women's options),
Luna Bars, and finishers party. Both races start at 7 AM and BANG on time! (2 minute intervals between corrals, which were organized according to finishing time).
The race isn't huge–1500 participants–which makes it the perfect size, in my opinion, as you are never alone but you don't have to push people down and fight with them ;D
Note: Prior to this year, the Run Mag Mile Half Marathon was billed as the Magnificent Mile Women's Half Marathon and 5K, and if you remember, there was an entire weekend (with Lauren Fleshman, yoga, and more) dedicated to it. This year, they decided to diversify, if you will, and make it inclusive of all. Though I will say men did run it in the past, lol.
Pacers were available via Chicago Endurance Sports at :30 s intervals.
Run Mag Mile Sponsors
Normally I don't also talk about the sponsors specifically, but the Mag Mile Half Marathon is also a great race because of the sponsors: Fleet Feet Sports, Luna Bar, RAM Racing, Nuun (who I believe has partnered with RAM) and Athletico (stretching and massages!) more make this an actual event, and this year there was a $6000 purse for the top half marathon finishers.
**I will say that I wish there had been at least something for the 5K finishers.
Run Mag Mile Half Course
The Run Mag Mile Half and 5k start like many Chicago races–behind the Museum of Modern Art and running north. This time, though, the race heads left rather than right and goes up Michigan Avenue all the way up to Water Tower Place before returning along the same route, splitting at about mile 2.8 and returning to the start. The half marathon continues straight to Lake Michigan and then heads south down the Lakefront Path past Grant Park, the Museum Campus, McCormick Place, and down to about mile 14.5 (if memory serves), turns around, and comes back up around the Museum Campus and meets Columbus Drive (the same road you start on) at Roosevelt and you run about .25 mi north.
There are a few "red flags" about the Run Mag Mile Half course:
- The course can get very hot in direct sunlight, though much of it has tree cover
- The course is not closed to other runners/cyclists
- The course consists of 2 out-and-backs, so there are 2 tight turns
- There is a pretty substantial (but not super long) hill at about mile 12.9
That said, there is much that is in favor for the course. If you are looking for an overall flat course with a bit of incline here and there, lots of straights, and tons of visual interest (both city and lake), this is the course for you. I can tell you that I have become more and more of a fan of this course each time I've run it. Especially now that I don't run down on the lower half of the Lakefront Trail any more.
Run Mag Mile Course Support
Plentiful water stops, bathrooms (portapotties as well as permanent bathrooms along the LFT), and medics. Water and Nuun were offered throughout, and there was also a station with Luna Bar minis. Plenty of cheering station opportunities due to the out-and-back nature of the course.Running the #MagnificentMile could get you a #halfmarathon PR! #runmagmile #runchat Click To Tweet
Run Mag Mile Finisher Area
Cold wet towels were available immediately upon finishing, then Nuun and water bottles, Luna Bars, and Corner Bakery chips and a small sandwich. The finisher party was a little farther north, but there was a stage with music, tents from the sponsors, and plenty of photo ops. Also stretching from Athletico!
Mag Mile Half Marathon Race Recap
To preface, this was my first official half marathon since I broke my back last year during the Chicago Marathon, and this has also been one HELL of a summer for me–mentally, physically, etc. I have been dealing with a flare up of my generalized anxiety and situational depression, and those factors triggered a flare up of my Crohn's Disease, which reached its worst at my last race, the BTN B10K. Also, my foot has been giving my some trouble lately, so I've been working on it and taping it, and I was glad that it held together!
I had a few goals in mind for the Run Mag Mile Half:
- Finish in one piece, bonus points for not feeling terrible.
- Try to use the bathroom not at all, or once at most (this would be achieved via Immodium, watching my pace, and listening to my body)
- Finish happy and knowing that I had run a smart, solid race
- Finish under 2 hours and with a negative split.
- My A Goal: within 10 minutes of my half marathon PR time (1:41:30 from 2013 at the Allstate 13.1, also in Chicago), and hopefully with a negative split. This was one of my goals for the summer (before the flare)
I accomplished all but #2–I went to the bathroom once at about mile 8.5–and I am so, so happy with myself and my little body.
The weather was about 70 and misty/drizzly, so humidity was pretty legit, but unlike the other years, it was completely overcast, which saved us from the intense sun that can get you on the LFT. I ran the first mile or two at around 9:00 min/mi pace, and I was feeling pretty good as I got my legs underneath me.
As we got to the Lakefront Trail, my watch caught up (it can ping around between the buildings) and I saw I was running about an 8:45, which I was pleased with. I stopped it a few times to try to get it to even out with the course mile markers, so there is about .3 mi total that wasn't accounted for on my overall distance, though it had my paces accurate. I held an 8:30 pretty much the entire way, except for maybe one 8:15 and one 8:45.
I made my bathroom stop, and because I knew that I was going for a running time, rather than overall time, A goal (for personal reasons), I stopped my watch at the bathroom, and then forgot to turn it back on! I ran another .15 mi or so before I realized, and so I think my overall distance was likely about 13.5 miles. I think my bathroom break probably cost me about a minute or two.
Don't get more technical than that with me, I'm running after breaking my back, and I am going to go with my math! #IdowhatIwant
I headed back for home, and soon I found myself in the last mile. I charged up that hill, saw Alex at the top, and then TURNED IT ON. I ran as hard as I could, and at one point, I looked down and saw 6:40 pace!! I felt good that entire last .5 mi in to the finish!! I don't think I could have run much faster or further at that pace, but I felt solid and happy.
Chip time of 1:52:40, minus the bathroom stop = I am going to say that I hit my goal! (again, my PR time was 1:41:30)
I must mention that I listened the Bitch Sesh, (one of my favorites!) the entire way (and I'm not the least embarrassed by it) because I wanted to go out like a normal-ish run and not charge out or whatever.
I almost must mention that though I didn't have the normal signs and whatnot, I had some of the best course support ever–my former trainees were out there, some pacing for Chicago Endurance Sports for the race, some pacing and running their CES marathon training long run, and then Alex at the end (he ran alongside me on the other side of the fence as I finished!). I loved my high fives, my side hugs, and my cheers as they saw me. I have really missed them, and it was so lovely to feel missed and remembers. If any of you are reading, thank you so much, and know that I miss you all so very much!!
Bottom Line:
If I was nit-picking, I would like to have not had that bathroom stop, but you know what? I don't care. I ran my perfect race for where I am right now, what I am dealing with, and I felt great the whole time.
I don't know where I will go from here. But I needed this race. I needed to feel like ME (Suz the Runner) again.
In the words of Bitch Sesh, I just wanted Suz the Runner to Succeed.Why Suz isn't nitpicking her #halfmarathon and is counting it a success! #runchat Click To Tweet
If you read all of this, thank you. Now go and refuel ;D
Thank you so very much to Luna Bar for providing Alex's and my race entries. Thank you for letting this runner feel like a runner again!
Tell me about a race or performance that might not have been your best but was everything you wanted!
I am linking up with myself, Rachel, Lora, and Debbie for Running Coaches Corner, Patty, Erika, and Marcia for Tuesdays on the Run, Nicole, Annmarie, Michelle, and Jen for Wild Workout Wednesday, and Ilka and Angela for Food and Fitness Sunday.

7. For the colour, take out a spoonful of the mix and put in one bowl and the same again in another bowl.
11. Add all the white mixture in the centre of the bag the best you can, we used a tall jug to stand the bag in but a pint glass or vase works well too.
13. Put the meringues into the oven on a low shelf and turn the oven down to 140°c - bake like this for 50 minutes.
14. After 50 minutes, turn the oven off but leave the meringues in there and the door closed for a few hours until they are dried out and cold.
15. Put the meringues on a rack and melt some chocolate whichever way you find best - we use supermarket own milk 30% cocoa and dark 70% cocoa mixed together- very nice. The easiest way for us is to break the chocolate up and place it in a bowl in the oven at either 40°c or 50°c for a few minutes.
17. This produced a lovely light crisp meringue, if you want chewy or soft on the inside then you can experiment with a softer whisk consistency for chewy or couple of drops of vinegar and a small amount of cornflour for softer innards. Another method of bake we used to use was 120°c for 2 hours then turn the oven off, this seems to leave the meringue less 'hollow'.

The study by researchers at the OHSU Parkinson Center of Oregon found that people caring for spouses with Parkinson's disease, either at home or in a care facility, are at heightened risk for deteriorating health and well-being, as well significantly increased strain.
The investigators studied spouse-caregivers from early in the diagnosis of their spouses' Parkinson's disease and again 10 years later. The goal of the study was to identify early warning signs in families that would predict who is at greatest risk of caregiver strain, and the negative effect on health and depression.
The study of more than 150 spouse-caregivers of early-stage Parkinson's patients found that physical and mental health declined and strain increased dramatically over 10 years. The investigators also found that there were predictors early in the course of caregiving that might identify who was at greatest risk.
"As an example, caregivers who had bad health and depression to start with were more likely to have worse health and depression at the end of care giving," said study investigator Julie H. Carter, R.N., M.S., A.N.P., associate professor of neurology in the OHSU School of Medicine and associate director of the Parkinson Center of Oregon.
The findings suggest the health of family caregivers is paramount to the well-being of Parkinson's disease patients. And they may help researchers identify potential areas of early interventions to improve the health of both patients and caregivers.
"Families are an invisible part of health care. They provide tremendous support in delivering care and if something happens to that vital link, it makes the person with Parkinson's disease more vulnerable," Carter said. "So being concerned about the health of families ends up having incredible social and economic implications."
The study, "Family Caregiving in Parkinson's Disease (PD): A Ten-Year Follow-Up," was presented recently at the annual meetings of the Parkinson Study Group and the American Academy of Neurology.
The study is an eight-year follow-up to an assessment of more than 300 Parkinson's disease caregivers between 1992 and 1994 in what was called "The Parkinson's Spouse's Project." Using the project's data, the recent study aimed to predict changes in caregiver strain, depression and physical health from 1992 to 2002, and describe changes in caregiving and their connections to strain, depression, physical health, the quality of the relationship, and optimism and pessimism.
The recent study surveyed 156 of the original project participants: 105, or 67 percent, continued to care for spouses with Parkinson's disease at home; 11, or 7 percent, had spouses in a care facility, such as a nursing home; and 40, or 26 percent, were bereaved.
The study found that the health, strain, optimism and pessimism, and quality of the relationship - mutuality - deteriorated "significantly" over 10 years among the 105 caregivers with spouses at home.
"How depressed you are in 1992 explains a lot about what happens to your mental health long term, as does optimism and pessimism," Carter said. "If we identify caregivers early who have depression, we might be able to intervene early to treat their depression. Another option may be to teach people to be more optimistic."
Another notable finding is that mutuality is a risk factor for declining health.
"Mutuality is the quality of relationship itself between the patient and spouse - how much time they spend together, how much they enjoy each other, care for each other, how easy it is to be with each other," Carter explained. "We think high mutuality is protective against experiencing a lot of strain."
Carter said the lesson to be learned from the study is that families of Parkinson's disease patients suffer, too.
"It's not just the patient who has the disease. It's the family that has the disease," she said. "People with Parkinson's disease aren't isolated from their environment. Their environment is primarily their families and, therefore, the health of the family becomes critical in providing good health to the patient.
"We're interested in looking at the family experience as an interactive unit, as a dynamic thing. It's even having clinicians think about their patients from a family caregiving approach."
Carter's collaborators at the OHSU School of Nursing were: Karen S. Lyons, Ph.D., assistant professor of population-based nursing; Barbara J. Stewart, professor of population-based nursing; and Patricia G. Archbold, R.N., D.N.Sc., FAAN, professor and director, John A. Hartford Center of Excellence in Geriatric Nursing. The study was supported by the Medical Research Foundation and the Parkinson Study Group.

Mastodon's Brent Hinds: "I hate heavy metal"
Mastodon's Brent Hinds was recently interviewed by Guitar Player, you can read some excerpts below.
Hinds said: "I thought it was rebellious to play heavy metal. Then I met Brann Dailor and Bill Kelliher, and they were really into heavy metal. Ever since then I've been trying to get Mastodon to not be such a heavy metal band."
"I fucking hate heavy metal and I don't want to be in a heavy metal band."
Hinds says he also hates doing interviews, saying: "It frustrates me because I have to talk about things I've talked about over and over again. There's nothing we can talk about that involves Mastodon that I'll get excited about. After 15 years of doing this every fucking day of my life, the last thing I want to do is talk about doing it."

"TALK ABOUT GREAT ENTRANCES! For investors, anyway, they don't make them any better than the memorable one staged by that precocious calendrical infant, 2008. That is, if you're an investor who happens to have a portfolio chock full of gold and overflowing with oil.
The precious metal never glistened more brightly than it did last week as it soared past the all-time peak of $850 an ounce set nearly four decades ago. Not be outdone, crude made hydrocarbonic history of its own by topping $100 a barrel, an all-time record high and, keep in mind, please, we're not talking any old all-time, we're talking the real thing: geologic all-time.
Now, we're not so cloistered or insensitive as to fail to recognize that an absolutely humongous number of investors to their sorrow — including not a few of those extraordinarily bright chaps and chicks who subscribe to this august magazine — own neither a speck of gold nor a thimble of oil.
In that melancholy event, obviously 2008 did not begin on an upbeat note. Quite the contrary. But, hey, don't lose heart — the year still has 365 other days, at least two of which, even a timid soul like us would be brave enough to wager, will witness a rise in stock prices.
Actually, we can understand why folks, especially those of a chronically cheerful disposition, shy away from gold. It is, after all, the nearest thing we have to a Dow Jones Average of Global Misery. We are a nation of optimists, and a real optimist would just as soon drink a quart of sour milk as own something that keeps reminding him that everything isn't hunky-dory. Then, too, for a lot of people, the mere mention of gold stirs up painful pre-fluoride childhood memories of having cavities filled by drill-happy dentists.
Gold's perverse proclivity to feed on bad news was much in evidence as the gathering woes of the economy at large (think housing collapse and the gaping black hole in our accounts with the rest of the world) and the financial sector in particular (the mother of modern credit crunches) provided the spark for the precious metal's combustible performance that sent it soaring to unprecedented heights.
And it's not an accident that bullion has battened rich on the sickening downward spiral of the dollar, which, easy to forget, was until not all that long ago the most revered currency on the face of the planet. The remorseless shrinking of the greenback's value has given rise to a clutch of scary scenarios, from an inflationary chain reaction to a kind of global Olympics in which nations fiercely compete in a race to devalue their own coin that is destined to end with every participant (except Zimbabwe) a loser."
*This information is solely an excerpt of a third-party publication and is incomplete. Please subscribe to the referenced publication for the full article. This is not an offer to buy or sell precious metals. Investors should obtain advice based on their own individual circumstances and understand the risk before making any investment decision.

AN ULTRA BEATDOWN OF THE SENSES: Perhaps the most memorable part of "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" is the intense finale to speed-metal group DragonForce's "Through Fire And Flames," a more than adequate choice considering how the group merges a Nintendo-like electronic sound with fantasy-inspired lyrics. Fans can check out the London-based group at the House Of Blues (with opener Sonata Arctica) without worrying about stretching their pinky fingers to hit the orange button. 329 N. Dearborn; River North. Doors open at 5 p.m. Show starts at 5:30 p.m. $23 in advance and $25 at the door. All ages.
MILAN OF THE MIDWEST: If you're bored with this season's "Project Runway" (thanks, Lifetime), then channel your inner Nina Garcia at World Fashion Chicago, which takes place at the Harris Theater's Rooftop Terrace at Millennium Park. The show includes more than 35 local and international designers from Chicago's Sister Cities, and it's the closest thing Chicago has to New York's Fashion Week. East Randolph Street between South Michigan Avenue and South Columbus Drive. 6:30 p.m. $25 to $100.
PROCRASTINATION AS COMEDY: Back in high school, coming up with a class presentation at the last minute sometimes proved to be a Herculean feat (and it usually ended in disaster). But Second City veterans TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi do just that for their hour-long improv show, "TJ And Dave," which runs at iO's Cabaret Theater. The duo claim to know nothing about the show until they walk onstage, where they begin to silently map out stories and characters in their heads. 3541 N. Clark St.; Wrigleyville. 11 p.m. $5.

Play Hard...
Finding the best health insurance solutions for his clients is the primary business focus for Andrew. Away from work he can be found walking the dog with his partner and pursuing numerous sporting activities. The rest of the time is spent being a ski bum in search of another powder bowl.
Work Hard...
PMI provides high quality medical attention at a time and place that's convenient to you, typically delivered faster than it would be available through
the NHS. There are different levels of PMI to suit all needs and budgets, but most people we deal with are looking for fast access to medical care,
and PMI can often provide access to a specialist or consultant without the need to wait.
Usually, PMI customers will be treated in a private hospital or clinic, staying in a single room with en-suite facilities, rather than on a ward. Depending on the medical condition, treatment can be delivered as an inpatient or outpatient. Costs of surgery, anaesthetic, dressings, nursing and drugs are all covered.

Facebook marketers were thrown into a tizzy last week by the suggestion that using 3rd party apps can be detrimental to your post's EdgeRank. If that sounds indecipherable, you are not alone. There's a lot to know when it comes to making your brand voice heard on Facebook.
Let's look into the brouhaha more deeply.
Last week, EdgeRank Checker released a study outlining the influence of 3rd party application programming interfaces ("APIs", more commonly referred to as "3rd Party Apps") on Facebook engagement. These apps are commonly used to schedule posts over time, so that an actual human being does not have to post each and every entry in real time.
Running an analysis of more than 1,000,000 updates on more than 50,000 Facebook pages (that influence over 1,000,000,000 fans), the study examined the comments and links of each post and the number of fans the page had at the moment. EdgeRank Checker determined that using 3rd party apps (such as HootSuite, Shoutlet, Direct Message Lab) to post on Facebook will decreased the "likelihood of engagement per fan (on average) by about 80%."
In other words, page administrators should expect to reach 80% fewer fans when automate their posts, than they would if they posted directly onto Facebook.
EdgeRank Checker analysts conclude "that Facebook strategically reduced the weight of objects created through APIs to "encourage more content creation within the Facebook Platform." According to EdgeRank Checker, Facebook penalizes 3rd party apps to increase "the value of their platform while increasing ad impressions."
While this hypothesis may be true, it is purely speculative. No one, other than the geniuses who concoct Facebook algorithms, truly knows the formula behind Facebook's EdgeRank. It's also interesting to consider why Facebook would support 3rd party apps, while at the same time penalizing these applications.
EdgeRank Checker also theorized that 3rd party apps have lower engagement due to scheduled posts. EdgeRank Checker claimed that scheduled posts typically struggle to have high engagement, stating "it's difficult to create unique engaging content several hours or days in advance."
When Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he replied, "Because that's where the money is." When I asked Andre Penikis, Social Media Manager at Stream Companies, why he used 3rd party apps to post on evenings and weekends he replied, "Because that's where the people are."
Stream Companies uses 3rd party apps to schedule posts for times when Facebook users are most active. According to a Mashable Facebook activity study, Facebook users are most active on weekdays at 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET.
Penikis is not persuaded by the EdgeRank Checker study. "Scheduling posts can be very effective. It makes sense to think that serving up a post at time when the largest number of people is on Facebook will result in more people seeing the post, regardless of how EdgeRank treats it."
Penikis cites a recent experience with a national brand's Facebook page, which Stream Companies manages. In a 4-week period only two posts (out of more than a dozen) were scheduled, but they ended up the first- and second-ranked posts (by impression count) of the month. Furthermore, those posts tied for first among all posts for feedback! Penikis believes that the reason for their popularity is that both posts went up on weekends, when people were most likely to be on Facebook.
What's the lesson here? Running a business is hard enough. Trying to keep up with the complexities of social media today is a full-time job. Good social media campaigns result from collaboration between subject experts and social media experts. Don't leave your social media management to amateurs.

Betty"Its my job as first woman, to set a good pace, ye ken..."
Betty is the oldest of the women and is the 'first woman' so in charge of the others. She is firm but good humoured and very competent. She chaffs the others and can take some gentle chaffing herself. She is confident in her skills and knowledge but is kindly to the other bondagers. She would have a pocket watch for time keeping – she may have carried a whistle to enable her to call all the bondagers together for breaks etc.
We can imagine that Betty has been away from home like Annie (see below) but back again, through change in circumstances, to support her parents. This would mean she had a great fellow feeling with Annie and they were friends.
Betty likes to tell stories of her earlier life but likes to be pressed about it and always demurs.
Susan Stewart played Betty.
"I liked my character, she was well thought out and this made it easier to portray her in the scenes I was in...
...I enjoyed working with people that I hadn't worked wiith before -amazing fun!"
-Susan Stewart
