- Good News: Cricinfo reports that Jacob Oram is fit. This is great news since it confirms his availability for the first four matches of Chennai Super Kings, in their quest for IPL crown.
- Bad News: Gerald Majola, the chief executive of Cricket South Africa (CSA), confirmed to Cricinfo that the South Africans would be available for IPL, only after the first week of the tournament. So Chennai Super Kings would miss the services of Ntini and Albie Morkel for the first four matches.

The Rails app that I'm working on has a dependency on ImageMagick. In fact, if ImageMagick is either missing or broken in the app's environment, the app is beyond repair and Rails shouldn't even start.
To achieve this, I have added an initializer under
require 'minitest/unit' require 'stringio' class DependencyTests < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase def test_imagemagick_6_is_present assert_match /Version: ImageMagick 6/, `convert`.split("\n")[0], "ImageMagick 6 not present!" end end MiniTest::Unit.output = StringIO.new MiniTest::Unit.new.run unless ENV["SKIP_TESTS"] raise MiniTest::Unit.output.string if (MiniTest::Unit.runner.failures + MiniTest::Unit.runner.errors > 0) end
Note: this particular example is specific to ruby 1.9.3 (in the way that
minitest is used) but can be easily adapted to other versions of ruby.
If the test fails, then its error messages are rethrown on the console. This approach has already saved me quite a few minutes of troubleshooting (most recently yesterday when I was bringing everything up to scratch post the Mountain Lion upgrade).

Skin checks: Don't neglect your skin
- Health & Wellbeing
It is perhaps not too surprising that Australia has a relatively high skin cancer risk compared to other countries. In fact about two in three of us will be affected to some degree before the age of 70 and over 750,000 new cases of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma are diagnosed and treated each year.
Skin cancer can usually be treated effectively, but there is always a potential for some instances to become quite serious or even fatal and the symptoms are not always very obvious. This makes it vital to maintain a sound strategy for managing your skin cancer risk.
The first line of defence
As with any health issue, prevention is always better than cure. With so much of our lifestyle being outdoors, it can be easy to forget how much sun exposure we are subjected to. While we may be more conscious of it if we are at the beach or some other relaxation activity, we may not be so vigilant during everyday activities, such as gardening or driving. The sun does not discriminate, however, so constant protective action is essential.
The key preventative issues to remember are:
- Avoid sun exposure in the peak danger times of 11am -3pm (daylight saving time)
- Wear a broad brimmed or legionnaires' hat, long sleeved collared shirts and longer trousers/skirts
- SPF 30+ sunscreen applied 20 minutes to exposure and reapplied every two hours
- Close fitting sunglasses - Australian Standard AS1067.
Get familiar with your own skin
Even the most cautious sun-smart habits, however, do not eliminate the risk of potentially dangerous skin cancers occurring. Skin cancers rarely hurt and are much more frequently detected by visual checks, rather than any specific pain or discomfort. That means it is essential to be vigilant in inspecting your own skin every three months to keep a track of anything suspicious and to notice any changes in skin blemishes, moles or spots. Some advice on how to do this by yourself (or with the help of a friend or partner) can be found here cancer.org.au/preventing-cancer
Jot down the dates of inspection and any observations on abnormalities or changes. Particular issues that need further investigation by a medical professional include:
- a new spot that is different from other spots around it
- change in shape, size, or colour of a spot, mole or freckle
- spots, sores or moles that are not healing, itch, tingle, bleed or weep
- a spot that becomes raised or develops a lump
Regular professional check-ups are essential
If you are concerned about any abnormalities you should see your usual doctor, but even if you don't detect anything yourself it is important to get regular inspections from your doctor on an annual basis, or at more frequent intervals that they recommend if they believe you are higher risk.
Skin cancer clinics are also quite prevalent and may be an option for these check-ups. These are usually operated by GPs, but make sure you check up on the qualifications and experience of the person who will examine you.
Such examinations will often identify scaly growths or lesions caused by sun damage particularly on the face, scalp, lips, and the back of the hands. While the majority of these are not cancerous and can be treated quickly and simply with a freeze spray or topical creams, they can eventually become cancerous if left untreated.

We just had a full-on week of sprinting in Dublin at Drupal Dev Days recently. I think we had the biggest group and have been actively recruiting more people as they came in. The photograph below shows people gathering for the initiative meeting we had in-person. Of course this is just a small part of the whole team, which is at last count over 800 people who participated on at least one issue!
John Heaven made a series of videos about what's exciting in Drupal 8 as well as where people made progress in Dublin (below) and what is still to be done (to be published). Looks like I am not the only one who noticed the great results of the team! I'm really proud of all the amazing things we moved forward from the entity translation API all through cron support for localization downloads, major improvements to the internals of configuration translation and removing eval() from locale module!
Drupal 8 is shaping up to be outstanding for multilingual sites! I can't wait.

The primary source of information regarding any change or issue on a linux system is the /var/log/messages file. I am often annoyed when a linux system is setup in such a way that certain messages are written to syslog with a high frequency swamping the messages file with information that is not important. The reason for my annoyance is that this makes it very hard to actually spot important information because you have to skip through a lot of lines before you find the important information, especially if you do not know for sure if there a message in the first place.
Please mind this blogpost is created on a Centos 7 server which uses rsyslog.
There are a couple of ways to manage this. The standard syslog way of managing this is the following, which can be found in /etc/rsyslog.conf:

I have just heard the Rt Hon Michael Mates MP talking eminent sense of Radio 4's World Tonight (he's about 30 minutes in). He is a member of the Intelligence and Security Committee (the Parliamentary Committee that oversees the Security Service and whose report "Could 7/7 have been prevented?" is published today). His comments were measured and dispassionate. They didn't treat national security questions as a political football or an occasion for political point-scoring. He was being statesmanlike and behaving responsibly – exactly what I suspect most members of the public would like to get from their MPs.
One thought on "A senior Tory talks sense about the 7/7 bombings"
In the current climate of hue and cry Mates would have been despatched on a permanent basis in the '90s when he was accused of taking Al Fayeed's shillings I recall.
Rehabilitation is a fine thing.

J&L Garden Center and Landscaping Inc. closed it's retail store on October 31, 2017 after 59 years of operation by the Smith Family. Gary, Gordon and Sharon (second generation) have been working and running the family business since 1980, and took over complete management in 2002 when the last of the first generation retired. It was a hard decision to close the store, but one the family needed to make because there was no one in the third generation that wanted to continue the family tradition.
J&L Landscaping Service is still active and provides professional landscape services to the Salt Lake and Davis County areas. Gordon is a licensed Landscape Contractor and provides a pruning service in the spring, and runs a landscape service during the spring, summer and fall seasons. Gordon and his crew can install a complete landscape for a new home. He can also help with minor renovations around the yard, or he can do a complete yard makeover. Please give him a call for help with your landscaping needs.
History of J&L
J&L Garden Center was established in 1958. Our grand opening was April 12- 13, 1958. John S. Smith and E. Lloyd Smith (J&L) began the J&L Garden Center partnership in the spring of 1958. Lloyd worked at Hill Air Force Base while John operated the Garden Center. John's wife, Faye, worked by his side to operate the garden center and doubled as bookkeeper. Faye continued taking care of the financial part of the business until the day before she passed away; January 28, 2001. Faye would often take her children to work with her and put them in a make shift play pen – a wheelbarrow.
J&L's first store was located on Porter Lane in Centerville, Ut. It was a very small building that was the previous location of the Porter Walton Garden Center. While in Centerville, J&L sold trees, shrubs, flowers, gardening tools, and even pet supplies. It was not unusual to see a monkey, lizards, alligators, chipmunks, squirrels, or even parrots inside the store.
The building itself was too small for the items J&L was selling. When J&L moved to our present Bountiful location, the building was remodeled and became the office for Porter Lane Wholesale Nursery. The building was demolished in 2003 to become the entrance to a new housing development.
Two more of John's brothers (and their wives), were also involved in the business. Albert and Norine Smith, and Robert and Carol Smith, worked in the retail division of J&L Garden Center, while John worked in the landscape division. Through the years all of John's, Robert's, Albert's, and most of Lloyd's children have worked at J&L, either in the retail or landscape divisions, sometimes both.
In 1973 J&L Garden Center outgrew their facility in Centerville. By coincidence, the owners of Greenhagen's Garden Center (our present location of 620 North 500 West Bountiful) wanted to retire and to sell their business.
John, Robert, Albert and Lloyd all jumped at the chance to buy the business and move to the larger location. Through the years J&L has grown and expanded its facilities into what it is today.
J&L started as a small family business and has remained a family business, even though many of the employees are now non-family.
Albert and Robert retired from the business several years ago, but they still to continue to provide assistance when needed. Lloyd passed away Feb. 4, 2001, just one week after Faye.
In 2002 John decided it was time to retire and sold the business to two of his sons and one daughter. Gary, Gordon, and Sharon bought the business and are continuing to manage the business the way John taught them, with a few changes that their college educations inspired.
John Storton Smith passed away peacefully, surrounded by all of his living children, on Thursday, February 4, 2016 due to causes incident to age: exactly fifteen years, to the day, after Lloyd died. When John died, he had 9 children, 42 grand children and 34 great grandchildren, with more already on the way.
Many of John's grandchildren continue to work at J&L, and many more are waiting to work when they are old enough.
Today, J&L employs 12 to 15 people during the winter season and more than 50 people during the spring and summer planting season.
J&L Garden Center is a full line Garden Center and Nursery. J&L offers a wide variety of plants, garden decorations, garden supplies, indoor garden decorations, and Christmas trees and decorations.
J&L has always maintained that customer service is the most important part of any retail business. J&L provides expert sales people to help answer many gardening questions.
J&L Garden Center provides gardening classes in the spring to help teach the homeowner some easy ways to improve their yard and garden.
J&L Garden Center also provides a Gardening Newsletter and many Gardening Tips handouts.
Our website, www.JLGardenCenter.com, contains many of the gardening newsletters, as well as the gardening handouts that J&L has written.
All of this is part of our commitment to provide exceptional service, knowledgeable advice, high quality products, and reasonable prices.
Some of the buildings that J&L has landscaped over the years include: The baseball field at Snow College, The Huntsman Basketball Center, the Married Student Housing complex, and the Bookstore at the UofU. The Library and Science Building at Weber State University. The Kellogg Building at USU. The Logan Temple restoration. Numerous LDS Chapels from Logan to Oak City, UT. Many Utah Power & Light office buildings from Salt Lake, to Tooele, To New Mexico. Countless number of Individual Homes and Businesses.

Image via WikipediaSometimes burn bridges/
Place your back against the wall/
And blaze your new trail/
Ha2ku by ha2tim
I have found that many people that I coach are waiting for greatness to come and knock on their door. I hate being the person to tell them that never happens. In order to live our dreams we have to be willing to put ourselves in uncomfortable situations that bring the best out of us. We have to be willing to do the unconventional, and blaze a trail that the rest of the world can look at in amazement. We have to be willing to step away from the herd and maybe put our lives at risk. We have to be brave enough to burn or bridges so that we can't retreat to safety. Even put our backs against the wall and look fear directly in the eye.
To be extraordinary we have to do what Tony Robbins describes as massive action. Many of us may want to walk the approved path and hope to attain greatness, but we will only end up with the same thing that everyone else is getting from walking that path a "middle of the road existence". In my studies everyone that has done great things, has had to learn to think and act differently from what society taught them. They had to go through a personal crucifixation, this was a time great of sacrifice and pain. They had to face the criticism, and small mindedness of everyone around them. This is part of the price and more importantly the test of greatness. To be extraordinary we have to be willing to pay these fees. Believe me they will come when and from (who) you least expect it.
What seems to freeze most of the people that I coach is that they don't want to be uncomfortable or make others feel uncomfortable. How can you want to revolutionize your field, manifest your dreams, and create something new without shaking up the world. And yes you will may loose your comforts which are nothing but illusions designed to keep you where you are in life. People will definately be uncomfortable around you because your very success shakes the foundation of what they believe about you, and forces them to look at themselves. Beware of the status quo. This is a ghost that most people fear and will do everything to stay in its grip, and even worse will do almost anything to keep you under its spell as well.
So are you ready for greatness? Are you willing to burn "bridges to no where in your life. Are you willing to put your back against the wall and stare your fear directly in the eye? If so, I welcome you on your Gye-Nyame Journey...

Capture Gardens
Excerpt from Make me, Sir
By Cherise Sinclair
She held her hand out. He fastened one around her wrist, one on her ankle, and the last on Marcus's wrist. "The colors are a safeguard so the dungeon monitors can check that a dom grabs the right sub. In other words, only Master Marcus may claim you, Gabrielle. Clear so far?"
Her breasts bounced painfully as she ran, and she slowed quickly. As the plush golf-course-length grass tickled her feet, a sultry night breeze wafted against her bare skin. It felt strange—wrong—to walk around outside with no clothes on.
Rubbing her arms, she continued on. Hedges loomed on each side, opening into secluded areas with menacing shadows. "Give Master Marcus a good hunt," Master Raoul had said, so she turned down a smaller path, working her way deeper in. Other glow lights twinkled here and there, reminding her she wasn't the only submissive in the game.
What a beautiful place though. The moonlight paled the curving flower gardens. Fountains splashed and gurgled everywhere, and lights under the water glowed. White fog drifted through the humid air and swirled around her ankles. Fog? She glanced up at the cloudless night sky and frowned, then realized the fog came from the fountains, spilling like thick mist over the sides.
They created fake fog, just for fun? She shook her head, trying to be amused, except the stuff made the place really eerie.
A man's voice broke the quiet. "Lords and ladies, the hunt is on. Find your slaves and do what you will."
Oh my God.
Multicolored glow sticks danced like fireflies through the darkness. People ran here and there. Some of them. Other lights moved slower, more deliberately. The doms. Stalking their slaves.
And the sounds… A scream from the right. The slap of flesh on flesh and whimpering—someone getting spanked. Gabi turned her head and heard wet sounds and simultaneous grunts from the left—someone getting taken. Hard.
She had a quick image of Marcus grabbing her, forcing her to her knees, and driving into her. She sucked in a breath. He wouldn't. That wasn't what she wanted. Yet her nipples peaked, and her body dampened again.
He'd be out there somewhere, searching for her yellow glow stick. Hunting her. The air seemed to heat, wafting over her skin like a hot breath.
She bolted toward the thicker bushes. If she got around those—and she did—he'd have a more difficult time spotting her bracelet. Panting, she stopped and spun in a circle—and spotted a yellow glow stick. A few feet away. Perfectly still.
Her heart hammered even before she sprinted across the path. He—What was he going to do when he caught her? He really was a cat, toying with his prey. She veered around a hedge and ran straight into him, a solid wall of muscle. "Oooph!"
He chuckled and set her on her feet. "The next time, sugar, I'm taking you down." He stepped back a pace. "Run."
The low-voiced threat sent excitement churning through her, making her aware of the cool fog against her ankles, the way bushes scraped on her naked body when she got too close, the way her breasts jostled as she ran. A corner. Another. She popped into a secluded spot to catch her breath, and back out and--
He grabbed her from behind.
"No!" Instinctive terror blasted her. She twisted and shoved at him frantically.
Marcus… It was Marcus, not a stranger. Okay. Okay. Using her head now, she pulled and sidestepped, and his hands slipped off her oily body.
"Li'l brat." He made another grab for her.
I'm a greased pig, all right. Giggling, she dashed for the far side of the clearing, gaining only a few yards before his hand closed on her arm—and she yanked out off his grasp. No hitting or scratching, she reminded herself.
"You are a slippery little thing, aren't you?" he said, his southern accent markedly increased. The bastard grabbed her hair.
"Ow!" She turned to hit him—rules be damned—and he moved faster than she'd thought possible. Setting an arm behind her shoulders, the other up between her legs, he yanked her hips forward, tipping her backward, then dropped down on his knees with her in his arms. Before she got her balance, he rolled her onto her stomach.
No way. She got her feet under her and lunged forward.
With a low laugh, he caught her ankle and yanked her back, then set a knee on her butt. His weight pinned her, making her feel…odd. Excited.
Yet the second his powerful hands closed on her shoulders, terror engulfed her in a cold, mindless fog. She froze.
He stilled. Waited. She caught a whiff of his musky amber scent, and warmth dissipated her fear. It was Marcus touching her. Knowing his knee rested on her bare bottom, his weight trapped her, made all the difference. She wiggled and couldn't resist taunting him. "You rat-bastard dipwad, let me go."
Chuckling, he tightened his grip. "Mouthy little sub." The wrist cuffs snicked off his belt. "I am going to enjoy what I do to you."
Oh God. Under the growing tension, unable to help herself, she squirmed, and he simply put more weight on her. Controlling her.
Despite her thrashing, he firmly buckled one wrist cuff on and the other, then clipped them together behind her back. When he removed his weight, she thought he'd pull her to her feet. Instead his knee pushed between her thighs, keeping her legs apart.
His jeans scraped against the sensitive skin of her inner thighs. For a minute, he didn't move. And then he stroked her legs, traced the crack between her butt checks, squeezed her waist. He ruthlessly touched her how and where he pleased, and her skin burned under his calloused hands until it seemed she might set the grass beneath her on fire.
He set his palm between her legs to cup her heat and gave a satisfied, "Mmmmh. You're nice and wet, darlin'."
His touch roused her, yet…she felt too naked, too restrained, too vulnerable. Needing to escape, she wiggled. Helplessly.
"No, Gabrielle." His voice deepened, a smooth threat as his hand pressed on her ass cheeks, holding her in place. "Stay put, sugar. I want to examine my prize."
The commanding voice, the knowledge he wouldn't let her move, melted her inside. This was what she wanted, needed. Someone to take the control from her. She turned her head and rested her cheek. The cool grass scraped and tantalized her bunching nipples, an erotic contrast to his warm hand on her bottom.
"Good girl." His unyielding hand held her down as with his other, he touched her intimately, caressing her folds and sending heat lancing up her center. When he slowly pressed a finger through her puffy tissues and up inside her, pleasure boiled up so violently that her eyes almost crossed.
His finger slid out, then pushed in deeper. He made another pleased sound. "Yes, Li'l Sassy, I'm going to tie you down, spread you open, and see how much of me you can take."

If you want to learn how to make money with a blog, make sure you have a solid beginning to your site. You can really help (or hurt) your blog right from the beginning by choices you make about your blog style and where it resides. I will give you some of my top tips on how to get your blog off on the right footing. Here are my tips:
- Get your own domain — To make money with a blog, you need to have your own niche related domain name. If you are not willing to do that, you most likely are not going to succeed. Your reader will be able to remember your blog name easily if you have a catchy domain name. You will be able to brand this name to you, and this can be worth a lot of money to you over time.
- Get your own hosting account — You need to put your domain on an inexpensive hosting plan. You do not need to spend a lot of money here. You can get the $5 plan to get started. You want to have personal control over your blog, and having your own hosting is the only way to ensure this control is yours. Do not use free hosting platforms, as you are giving the owner control over your blog. This is not a good idea.
- Use the WordPress platform — You want to use the WordPress platform to build your blog. There is a lot of free functionality built into the WordPress platform. Once you learn how to use this platform, you will be able to edit your information and make your blog look better. You will also be able to add offers and promotions to your blog without having to pay a web master to do the work.
You can really help your blog get off to a good start by setting it up correctly. Do not cut corners to opt for free hosted sites if you want control of your blogging destiny. The correct set up will get you positioned properly and will allow you to build a profitable blog.

Peters plans patient aggressiveness
Red Horse Racing's Timothy Peters is leading the truck points standings. The racing veteran knows his margin for error is slim to stay on top, considering the top four drivers are separated by a mere nine points, with the top seven within 50 points of the lead.
"Everybody's going to be tough," Peters said. "We just need to be a little bit better.
"We still have some fine-tuning to do. I'm proud of what we've put together, to have this momentum and to be able to compete."
Peters has yet to win, but has a series-high five top-five finishes and seven in the top 10. He has plenty of motivation to capture his first victory and overcome the challenge from his consistent competitors.

I can remember the time when I was a boy that I saw a person in the car ahead of us throw a piece of paper out of the window onto the roadside. It troubled me, because somehow I knew that it wasn't proper behavior. I don't think that anyone had to tell me that it wasn't right, I just knew that the side of the road wasn't for trash disposal. Years later, as I was driving down the road in my own car I was inconvenienced with some trash on the seat, so out the window it went. I also knew that it wasn't right, especially after I had done it. No one had to tell me that I had a bad conscience. What my conscience told me was enough. It did not approve of my behavior, it made me feel bad about what I had done, and I didn't try to justify my deed. I was wrong, and from that point on as best as I can remember, I did not ever again carelessly throw anything on the highway. I regretted my litterbug ways, and turned back to what I instinctively knew to be true.
My conscience no longer bothered me about being a litterbug, because I wasn't doing the deeds of a litterbug anymore. But I was still pretty bugged. Only this time it was by the people in the car in front of me gaily shoveling styrofoam cups, empty cigarette packs, and beer cans out the windows. How could they toss all of that junk out their windows without some twinge in their conscience, the same twinge that I had? It wasn't fair. If they could commit this environmental crime without suffering in their conscience, how come I couldn't do the same without feeling lousy about myself? I'm no moral Superman, able to leap tall mounds of sin. Bullets don't bounce off my chest, things don't come easy ‹ I have to work at being a better person. How come my conscience has to give me such a hard time when others get off scot-free? Why, it's like they don't even have a conscience!
Exactly. Or to be more accurate, they don't have a conscience that still hurts them inside when they do wrong. When I chucked that trash out the window of my car that day, something inside of me suffered ‹ I went against what I knew was right. I could have come up with a hundred reasons why it was OK. "I don't have a trash bag in the car. I don't have time to stop to dispose of it. The last time I kept a cup on the floorboard, the ice melted inside, I made a curve, and it spilled on my carpet." Not to mention, "Besides, if the police stopped me and found this empty beer can in my car, I'd be in trouble." So... out the window!
You know, mankind has always struggled with this kind of thing. Not the trash, but his conscience ‹ and the trash that man lets accumulate in his conscience until he becomes like those people in the car in front of me who could dole the garbage out their car window all day long without batting an eye. It is possible to harden your heart against what you know to be true, even to the point that your conscience no longer is able to direct your behavior. And then what are you good for? You are certainly no good for the earth. She could get along fine without people of bad conscience defiling her natural beauty and delicate balances. Poor earth!
But there is another side to it. The arena of man's conscience isn't restricted to how he should deal with roadside garbage. It goes far beyond that. The conscience covers the entire realm of man's behavior; everything he does is governed by this instinctive knowledge, unless society so perverts his upbringing that he can no longer tell good from evil.
When mankind tolerates the violation of his conscience, then as the old saying goes, he reaps what he sows. This can easily be seen in the realm of the earth's environment, but is harder to define when it comes to man's behavior towards himself. Since man has been given dominion over the earth, then you can judge his spiritual state by how he has governed what has been given to him. Obviously, the earth is not in a good place; the pollution in man's soul is evidenced outwardly by all the trash in his global back yard.
The Twelve Tribes is a confederation of twelve self-governing tribes, composed of self-governing communities. We are disciples of the Son of God whose name in Hebrew is Yahshua. We follow the pattern of the early church in Acts 2:44 and 4:32, truly believing everything that is written in the Old and New Covenants of the Bible, and sharing all things in common.

Sandra Bernhard
|Sandra Bernhard
At the Daryl Roth Theater (NYC), 2006
June 6, 1955
Flint, Michigan, U.S.
|Years active
|Tabitha Keegan
Sandra Bernhard (born June 6, 1955) is an American comedian, singer, actress and author. She first gained attention in the late 1970s with her stand-up comedy in which she often bitterly critiques celebrity culture and political figures. Bernhard is number 97 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 greatest standups of all time.[1]
Early life
Bernhard has often addressed her childhood in interviews and within the context of her stand-up comedy. She was born in Flint, Michigan, the daughter of Jeanette and Jerome Bernhard.[2] Her parents raised her as a Conservative Jew.[3] She has three older brothers. Her family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, when she was 10.[4]
Of her family, Bernhard stated in her show Without You I'm Nothing: "My father was a proctologist and my mother was an abstract artist, so that's how I view the world." In the documentary program Girls Who Do: Comedy, she discusses being a funny teenager. After graduating from Saguaro High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, she went to live and volunteer on a kibbutz in Israel. She moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19. During that time she paid her bills by working as a manicurist in a high-end salon.
Bernhard became a staple at the Comedy Store. As her popularity as a comedienne grew she was cast as a supporting player on The Richard Pryor Show in 1977. Guest appearances on evening talk shows followed. Her big break came in 1983 when she was cast by Martin Scorsese to star as stalker and kidnapper Masha in the film The King of Comedy for which she won the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress.
She began performing her first one-woman show called I'm Your Woman in 1985, and an album version was released. Bernhard appeared in a variety of tiny film and television roles throughout the 1980s while crafting her stand-up routine into a more performance art oriented show. She launched an Off-Broadway one woman show called Without You I'm Nothing, with You I'm Not Much Better in 1988 which played at the Orpheum Theatre. In 1990 it was turned into a film and a double album of the same name. The film was mostly shot on location in 1989 in the coconut grove at the Ambassador Hotel. A frequent guest on David Letterman's NBC program, it was during the run of 'Without You I'm Nothing, With You I'm Not Much Better' that she appeared with her then-good friend (and rumored lover) Madonna on the show. The two alluded to their romantic relationship and staged a sexy confrontation. They would continue to be friends for several years, with Bernhard even making an appearance in Madonna's movie Truth or Dare.
In 1991, Bernhard began playing the role of Nancy Bartlett on the hit sitcom Roseanne. She appeared in 33 episodes between 1991 and 1997, and was one of the first actresses to portray an openly lesbian recurring character on American television. The role is one of her best known, something she has lamented in her stand-up as being both a blessing and a curse.
In September 1992, Bernhard did a nude pictorial for Playboy. She hosted the USA Network's Reel Wild Cinema for two seasons beginning in 1995. Bernhard continued acting in mostly independent films and TV guest roles and forays into mainstream films such as Hudson Hawk and Dallas Doll. In 1991 she released her first studio album, entitled Excuses For Bad Behavior (Part One).
In 1995, she briefly appeared as a guest in the animated talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast, in an episode titled "Jerk". In 1996, she guest-starred on an episode of Highlander: The Series called "Dramatic License" in which she played a romance novelist writing about the life of the main character. She also appeared (as herself) on Will and Grace in an episode dealing with Will and Grace's spuriously bidding on Bernhard's Manhattan apartment in order to become friendly with her and culminates in a diatribe from Bernhard when their ruse is exposed, with obfuscating sounds of a blender (she was having a smoothie made) blotting out supposed obscenities. She returned as herself briefly, two years later.
Bernhard returned to Broadway in 1998 with the show I'm Still Here... Damn It!, recorded for a live comedy album. At that time of the show Bernhard was pregnant. She gave birth to daughter Cicely Yasin Bernhard on July 4, 1998.[5][6] For the next several years she would self-record all of her live shows and release cheaply made CD-R versions which were sold in the lobby of her shows. She continued touring and making smaller films and TV guest appearances.
She returned to New York in 2006 with the Off-Broadway show Everything Bad & Beautiful. The CD Everything Bad & Beautiful was critically lauded as one of her best, released by indie label Breaking Records.[7] The year 2007 saw the creation of Bernhard's show Plan B from Outer Space as well as Indie label upstart Breaking Records release of the compilation "Breaking For the Holidays" where Bernhard co-penned Miracle of Lights with Mitchell Kaplan. She toured "Plan B" through 2008, and performed Miracle of Lights on some morning shows in New York.
Bernhard was a featured guest singer with children's artist Dan Zanes on the Family Dance album's "Thrift Shop".[8]
In an interview with Howard Stern, the comedian revealed that she was originally offered the role of Miranda Hobbes of TV show Sex and the City, but opted out due to the "terrible" original script and low paycheck.[9]
In 2013, the media announced that Sandra Bernhard would be joining the cast of ABC Family's Switched at Birth along with Glee's Max Adler. Sandra would assume the role of an art professor on the Season 3 Opener in January 2014.[10]
Personal life
On July 4, 1998, Bernhard gave birth to her daughter Cicely Yasin Bernhard, declining to reveal who her father was.[11][12] She is openly bisexual.[13] She is a strong supporter of gay rights.[14]
Controversies and criticisms
In August 2006, Sandra Bernhard served as the spokeswoman in a commercial for Make-up Art Cosmetics (MAC). In the commercial, promoting PlushGlass lipgloss, Bernhard referred to someone who might not approve of her outspokenness as a "...little freaked out, intimidated, frightened, right-wing Republican thin-lipped bitch". MAC edited the line from the commercial to avoid offending some of its customer base.[15]
In September 2008, Bernhard created controversy during one of her one-woman shows by saying that Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she entered Manhattan. Bernhard later said that the remark was "part of a much larger, nuanced and yes, provocative (that's what I do) piece from my show about racism, freedom, women's rights and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin..."[16]
Bernhard performs classic pop music, jazz, and blues tunes. She has released several albums (combinations of music and comedy).
All of the CDs from The Love Machine through Gems... have been cheaply produced CD-Rs, which is commonly what comedians sell at their shows. In 2004 Bernhard re-released special edition albums of I'm Your Woman and Without You I'm Nothing. The re-releases of both included special tracks, as well as several guests to help attract a new audience. Bernhard has stated that Excuses for Bad Behavior (Part One) will be re-released in late 2007.
The Smoking Popes recorded a song entitled "Sandra", a tribute to Bernhard, wherein lead singer Josh Caterer professes his obsession with Sandra.

Meizu has unveiled its latest cutting-edge fast charging solution at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress 2017. Meizu introduces the 3rd generation fast charging technology that uses the high-voltage direct charge method. The pioneering fast charging solution, Super mCharge, is a major breakthrough among existing direct charging solutions that enable batteries to top up at a much faster rate.
The field-leading 11V/5A charging connector boasts a maximum power of 55W for an accelerated full charge time of just 20 minutes, providing a significant enhancement in user experience. With Super mCharge, an empty battery can be fully charged in the same amount of time it takes to finish a cup of coffee, freeing up users from hours of time being hooked to a charger or power banks. Super mCharge adopts the Charge Pump Principle, applying only 2 groups of conversion circuits to directly output half of the voltage. This increases charging efficiency by 9 percent to 98 percent, and ensures stable performance during charging. With Super mCharge, battery temperature tops at 39℃ (102.2℉) during charging, resulting in a safer and more reliable charging solution.
The reduced heat-dissipation and current, along with an upgraded data cable capable of supporting 160W, ensure that Super mCharge is both safe and durable. Tests show that its 3000mAh ATL battery retains over 80% capacity after over 800 charge and discharge cycles, giving it a service life of more than two years. It can bear more than 4 times the current of an ordinary battery, which allows it to cope reliably.
Super mCharge is the latest achievement of Meizu's R&D team in charging technology. It is a solution that is much quicker and more reliable than existing available solutions. Its high-voltage direct charge solution promises to redefine the field.
"Innovation isn't an easy job, but we believe that success comes from passion. We've overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles to create the best technology for all," explained Li Tao, Supervisor of Meizu's R&D team. "Super mCharge is not only the fastest charging technology, but the safest one of all."

Last week, The Washington Post profiled a Kansas woman named Suzan Emmons and the two young girls she cares for, her granddaughter and her granddaughter's half sister. Emmons is one of those who does not earn enough to qualify for subsidies. Several readers wrote in to say there must have been some kind of mistake. People are denied public benefits for making too much money, not too little, they wrote.
Emmons notes the oddness of her situation. "That's the weirdest thing, that I don't make enough money to qualify," she said.
How we got here
Many Americans are in similar circumstances because the Supreme Court and Republican lawmakers and governors prevented a major component of Obamacare from being completely implemented. Now, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), there are about 2.6 million Americans who would be eligible for financial assistance through the law if they made more money.
When Obamacare was enacted, Democrats imposed a minimum income requirement for those who wanted financial help buying private insurance under the law. As passed, the law would have instead covered those below the minimum through an expansion of Medicaid, the federal health-insurance program that covers many of the poor, elderly and disabled.
In 2012, however, the Supreme Court struck down that provision of the law, ruling instead that states had the option of expanding Medicaid, maintaining the current system for those with incomes below that minimum level of income.
In some states, Republicans did not expand coverage through Medicaid up to that minimum. As a result, many Americans who were excluded from Medicaid because they were not poor enough — or for other reasons — were nonetheless too poor to get any help through Obamacare.
These Americans are in what experts often call the Medicaid coverage gap. Many less needy households, meanwhile, are receiving subsidies.
"The Medicaid coverage gap is completely confounding to people, because it's so counterintuitive," said Sheldon Weisgrau, the director of the Health Reform Resource Project in Topeka, Kan. "It generally is jaw dropping to them." His organization was established to represent the interests of patients in Kansas during health-care reform.
"You have to be above a certain income level to get financial help, rather than below, which is the way these things usually work," Weisgrau said.
Health insurance in Kansas
In Kansas, parents must make no more than 38 percent of the official federal poverty level to qualify for Medicaid. That's only $7,800 a year, or about $150 a week, for a family of three.
Emmons cannot afford coverage on her own, and because Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, vetoed a bipartisan effort by state lawmakers to expand Medicaid in March, she is going without insurance.
Emmons makes $14,000 a year cleaning houses. If she lived by herself, she would be considered well off enough to receive a subsidy to buy private insurance through Obamacare.
However, since she took in the two girls, removing them from what she described as a dangerous home in Wyoming, the size of her household has increased to three, and she is worse off in the eyes of the law. On an annual income of $14,000, they are officially poor.
The two children are covered. Public programs for health insurance are generally much more generous for children than for adults. To qualify for subsidies for herself, though, Emmons would have to make at least $20,000 a year — the federal poverty level for a three-person household.
Instead, she is one of roughly 56,000 Kansans in the gap, according to KFF's estimate.
Around the country
Because each state's rules regarding who can receive Medicaid differ, the number of people in Emmons's situation varies across the country. In neighboring Missouri, for instance, parents who make more than just 18 percent of the federal poverty level are ineligible for Medicaid. That's just $70 a week for a family of three.
Both Kansas and Missouri, however, are particularly restrictive. The average maximum among all states that did not expand Medicaid is 44 percent of the poverty level, KFF found.
These figures are for parents. Although there are a few exceptions for pregnant women and those with disabilities, it is common for adults in these states who do not have dependent children to be ineligible no matter how much or how little they make.
Rachel Garfield, a researcher at the foundation, pointed out that nine out of 10 people in the gap live in the South. Southern states tend to have strict rules for Medicaid, and since Republicans dominate the region politically, few of them expanded the program under Obamacare.
"There is really a regional issue at play here," Garfield said. "Most states not expanding coverage being located in the south, that is where most people who are in this situation live."
More than half — 54 percent — of adults in the coverage gap are working, Garfield said. Many work for employers that do not sponsor health insurance, and because the rules on income are so strict, they are also barred from receiving subsidies or coverage through Medicaid.
The result is a "perverse" system, Weisgrau argued.
"If somebody got an offer of a better job at a higher salary, it puts them in the position of having to decide whether to turn the job down and keep their Medicaid coverage," he said.
Ana Swanson contributed reporting from Iola, Kan.

Make sure your RV is clean and vacation-ready both inside and out with Wet & Forget cleaning products.

Preventing spiders from making your RV their new home

Trying to think of fun activities and trips this summer? Watch Miss. Tracy here on The Rhode Show for educational ideas!
Summer is finally here. But, as parents we don't want our children to lose everything they learned in school all year long. We also want our children to have fun. Some parents may think that this will be tough to put across.
Henry James an America-English writer once said "The two most beautiful words in the English Language are summer afternoon." However; your children might say the three worst words are "summer school work."
On average, children lose about a month's worth of learning in the summer in math and reading. Here are some tips to help this summer be a fun learning adventure for the whole family.
- Taking day trips throughout New England
- Educational weekend trips
New England boasts some of the most exciting spots for the entire family to learn and have fun.
- Museum of Science mos.org located in the heart of Boston. This museum is known for its hundreds of interactive exhibits and the most attended cultural museum.
- Old Sturbridge Village osv.org located in Sturbridge Massachusetts. The largest outdoor museum in the Northeast. Your children can experience life in the 1830s. Their website even has curriculum with facts that you could down load and ask your children as you tour the village.
- Plymouth Plantation plimoth.org located in Plymouth Massachusetts. Visit this 17th century working replica community. Home of the Wampanoag Home site that features Native American life at the time when the pilgrims arrived. This trip would be especially fun if your children were learning about this during the school year.
- Woods Hole Science Aquarium aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov located in Falmouth. If you have budding marine biologist or children who are interested in this area, this day trip is for you. The cost is FREE. Donations are accepted. Spend the day in the cape, visit the aquarium take in the sights and maybe even go for a swim. You might just see some marine life.

From proven weight loss to mood boosting, from heart health to brain function, from eye health to joint pain relief, research has shown that supplementing the diet with optimal amounts of the correct types of Omega-3s can make a positive impact on nearly all key areas of human health. In addition to weight loss, we give you 7 more life-changing reasons you should be adding adequate amounts of the correct omega-3s to your daily routine.
First, what are Omega-3s?
Omega-3s is a short name for omega-3 essential fatty acids (also called n-3 fats). Omega-3s are a special family of healthy polyunsaturated fats that are called essential because the body cannot make them from scratch: they must be obtained from food or through dietary supplementation.1 The two most important omega-3s are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The omega-3, Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), also plays a role in health.
1. Omega-3s: The Secret Key To Effective Weight Loss
Research shows that lower body levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with higher accumulation of fat around the waistline.2 3
Omega-3s increase fat burning and cause body fat loss
Research presented by the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders, reveals that omega-3s, specifically from fish oil, increase fat burning (lipid oxidation) and lead to lower body fat mass.4 Similar findings, that omega-3s increase fat burning potential and stimulate weight loss, are supported by numerous studies.5 6 7 8
Documented Appetite Suppression
By stimulating the release of gastrointestinal hormones, such as cholecystokinin, long-chain fatty acids like EPA and DHA omega-3s are shown to reduce appetite leading to a decrease in calories consumed (energy intake).9 Other research shows that omega-3 supplementation lowers hunger sensations and increases fullness, specifically after eating a meal.10
Fat Blocking
Omega-3s influence lipogenesis, which is the process by which the body converts sugars into stored fat (lipo = fat, genesis = beginning or creation of).11 Research has shown that, by suppressing the function of a protein called SREBP-1, omega-3s actually block the body's ability to conduct lipogenesis,12 thus decreasing body fat accumulation from dietary intake.
True Slimming
Clinical studies establish the effects of omega-3s on fat loss, fat burning and fat blocking, but research published by the International Journal of Obesity shows that omega-3s don't just reduce belly fat, they can actually contribute to the appearance of a slimmer figure by reducing the size of fat cells.13
2. Want Beautiful, Youthful-Looking Skin? Look To Omega-3s
If you want soft, moist, smooth and youthful looking skin, then feed it well with ample omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are responsible for the health of the cell membrane, which not only acts as the barrier that protects the skin from harmful elements and toxins, but also the passageway for vital nutrients to come in and waste products to go out.14 In order to prevent the appearance of aging on the epidermis (the outer layer of skin), it's important to take care of the health of the dermis (lower layers of skin). The dermis relies on collagen to support the epidermis. Essential fatty acids have a protecting effect on dermal collagen that lessens UV-induced photoaging.15 Dermatologist, Nicholas Perricone, MD, says that omega-3s do even more than just protect the structure and health of cell membranes; omega-3s reduce the body's production of inflammatory chemicals tied to the aging process that affect how healthy the skin looks and feels.16
3. Heart Health: Omega-3s Can Reduce Risk Factors For Heart Disease
Heart disease is the world's #1 killer according to the World Health Organization.17 Omega-3s have been shown to lower triglycerides, a risk factor for heart disease.18 19 Research has also shown omega-3s can reduce other risk factors for heart disease by lowering blood pressure, increasing levels of the "good" cholesterol, HDL, preventing blood clots, preventing plaque in the arteries and preventing hardening of the arteries.20 21 22 23
4. Depression and Mood
Major depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States.24 An estimated one in five Americans has experienced depression or another type of mood disorder, like bipolar illness, and approximately 21 million Americans each year suffer from a mood disorder. Depression is the top predicting factor for suicide.25
Scientific research has linked low levels of omega-3s in the diet to depression.26 Additional studies have shown omega-3 supplementation to reduce symptoms in those diagnosed with major depression.27 EPA has been shown to be the most effective omega-3 when it comes to relieving depression,28 with one study of 60 outpatients revealing EPA to be as effective as the popular antidepressant drug, fluoxetine, (tradename Prozac).29
5. Vision Loss and Blindness: Omega-3s Can Help Protect Against Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration can lead to blurred vision and legal blindness. With more than 10 million American sufferers, it affects a greater number of people than cataracts and glaucoma combined.30 Macular degeneration, influenced by race, genetics, smoking and diet, is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina. It is the leading cause of vision loss and considered an incurable eye disease.31 Studies have linked low levels of the two most important omega-3s, EPA and DHA, with age-related macular degeneration.32 Essential fatty acids, like omega-3s, play a critical role in maintaining the structure and function of the retina.33 34
6. Omega-3s Can Improve Brain Function Through All Stages of Life
The omega-3, DHA, has been shown to improve brain function during the middle stages of adulthood.35 In the early stages of life, DHA can be particularly important; one study determined that DHA supplementation during pregnancy can improve a child's IQ by age 4.36 Other research has shown that supplementing the diet with the omega-3, EPA, can decrease the symptoms of ADHD in children.37 Omega-3 fatty acids are not only highly concentrated in the brain, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, but they are also important for memory, brain performance and behavioral function.38
7. Cancer: Lowering The Risks with Omega-3s
In 2016, the National Cancer Institute is estimating that more than 1.6 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, with the most common types being cancer of the breast, lung, prostate, colon, thyroid, pancreas, bladder and melanoma of the skin.39 Diets high in omega-3s have been associated with lower rates of numerous forms of cancer.40 A European study involving 1455 subjects found that omega-3 supplementation can lower colon cancer risks by greater than 50%.41 Other research has led to the recommendation of omega-3s for breast cancer prevention and improved survival.42 While maintaining a diet with adequate levels of omega-3s may reduce risk factors for all forms of cancer, scientific studies have associated the strongest links with omega-3 supplementation and decreased risk factors for these forms of cancer: colon, prostate and breast cancer.
8. Joint Health & Arthritis: Omega-3s Can Relieve The Pain and Suffering
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. suffer from arthritis, making it the leading cause of disability in America.43 Supplementing with omega-3s can relieve arthritis symptoms; the most common of which include swelling, pain, stiffness and decreased range of motion. Inflammation is the root of many health problems, including progressive joint decline; omega-3s consistently demonstrate properties that help suppress inflammation.44 45 46 People suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, a type of chronic inflammatory disorder, can find relief through omega-3 supplementation. Long-term research has shown that symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can be "significantly" reduced by daily supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids.47

The LA Weekly gives an entertaining rundown of sex educators Courtney Cruz and Shelby Jones' master class "The Big One!: The Truth and Lies of Female Orgasms"
In the 1880s, they said to women, 'Oh, you're hysterical. You have to go to the doctor.' And they had actual doctors that would massage these women into what they called 'hospitable patronage' — meaning that they brought them to orgasm, and then all the sudden the women were calm and happy as Hindu cows.
"And they'd send them home, and their husbands would say, 'This is fantastic!' And the women'd be going, 'Uh, I have to go to the doctor again. I feel hysterical.' And this is how it all started."
They also reveal how, in Alabama, it is enshrined in law that people have "no fundamental right to purchase a product in pursuit of having an orgasm". That would make anyone hysterical.

Kasich, the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and the Ohio Department of Education, we proudly operate three innovative summer meals programs targeting some of the most at-risk, vulnerable children in Ohio.
The summer weekend meals program provides six kid-friendly, shelf-stable weekend meals to about 10,000 children each week for 10 weeks during the summer.
The summer rural delivery meals program provides 11 kid-friendly, shelf-stable meals to about 2,000 children each week who have transportation and access barriers that make attending other summer meals programs difficult.
The mobile farmers market program provides fresh produce and popular protein items to families with children participating in the summer weekend meals program or summer rural delivery meals program.
