What Is Psychotherapy?
We all have barriers that prevent us from seeing the parts we don't like about ourselves and from learning how to live with life's challenges as humanly as possible. Reasons for starting therapy are many: relationship issues, trauma, addictions, anger, depression and anxiety, emotional numbness, disordered eating habits and self-defeating behaviours are some of them. Depth psychotherapy can help clients open up possibilities and free themselves from old ways of being in the world that no longer serve them. They see there is the possibility of new responses, and they find new ways of looking at life and making decisions that are life-enhancing.
When someone comes to therapy, he or she has usually arrived at one of life's crossroads. Further progress on his or her journey becomes a matter of aid or accompaniment, and this is where a therapist can help.
Psychotherapy is a cooperative, creative process between a person motivated to change and a therapist trained and skilled to assist in that change. Each psychotherapeutic journey is as unique as the individual who enters the process.
How I Work
In addition, therapy is not about achieving perfection or conforming to what others say you should be. It is about working with fears and limitations. There is no magical solution in therapy; it requires curiosity, courage and honesty. As a therapist, I am open to the mystery of life and encourage the client's curiosity about him or herself and the pathways ahead. I am patient when things are unclear. I am willing to hold the not-knowing until there is clarity.
I therefore encourage you to enter upon a journey with a therapist who has already made her own journey. In a safe, supportive and quiet environment, I invite you to explore your life and your thirst for self-knowledge and self-expression. While discovering and expressing yourself in the presence of acceptance and empathy from the therapist, you can begin to celebrate your life in a way that has not been afforded to you before. You will develop the capacity to love in wisdom, to taste life, and to learn that life is not just a chore or a fight. You learn to build relationships and boundaries, while accepting both your strengths and vulnerabilities.
About Me
I have been practicing since 1991 and consider myself to be an eclectic and seasoned psychotherapist.
My Practice
I have undergone extensive training in depth psychotherapy, and my tools include dream work, body awareness, and trance/relaxation work. These techniques facilitate access to deeper thoughts and feelings of which we may initially be unaware. My particular history provides me with empathy and understanding of people from different backgrounds and cultures. In my 24 years of practice, in a safe, supportive, and quiet place, I have provided my clients with an environment where they bring both their strengths and difficulties.
Additional Focus: Intergenerational Trauma
As part of my varied private practice here in Toronto, I have an interest in working with those whose lives have been touched by traumatic experience—experience that might not directly have been their own but rather the trauma of primary caregivers or even of generations prior to their own. The transgenerational transmission of parents' traumatic experiences to their children and even grandchildren is a well-documented phenomenon, particularly in descendents of Holocaust survivors but also among other groups as well. My aim is to help clients stay curious about their cultures, context, and transgenerational story. Exploring together how intergenerational trauma continues to work its effects in memory and in the body down the generations can be a very healing endeavour.

A Bed For Our Boy
For this reason, Tag gets the special pleasure of sleeping upstairs where there are softer places to sleep. At one point, we had one of those large dog beds for him to lay on, but we don't have it anymore.
As you know, my dogs mean the world to me. Therefore, I started looking for another dog bed for Tag to have upstairs. I want him to be able to stretch out and be comfortable, so I've been browsing extra large dog beds for him. Hubs has even come up with some ideas for trying to make Tag a comfortable place to sleep. One way or another, we'll provide him with as much comfort as we can. No, my dogs are not spoiled - they're just well loved. ;-)

The Brazilian booty is the latest trend in fitness. Some women are born with it, while the rest of us have to work at this fitness look a little harder. Exercises are going to be the primary goal, but there is a few cheats you can take along the way to instantly lift and pop that bottom out a little more.
If you are ready to add firmness and roundness to your booty, here are 7 ways to get a bigger butt:
Waist Training
While you wouldn't think wearing a waist trainer would have anything to do with a bigger bottom, it actually does make an impact, just in a different way. As a waist trainer works to bring in those curves in a fabulous way, and redistribute fat into more complementary results, the illusion of a bigger butt is created. The hips look lusciously more rounded; thanks to those extra inches the waist trainer pushed in and carved into a goddess figure. This is why it is called the hourglass figure. This is also why it is so extremely popular with women today (and throughout history). Try on a waist trainer and then evaluate your next step in popping out the butt more.
Shapewear for the Butt
You heard that right, and wait until you see the unique products available to do almost about anything you need done to up that booty. Just to give you an idea of the uniqueness of these garments, you can get butt bras, butt pads, booty lifters, and hip pads. These are available in leggings, underwear, and tights. Some have cut-outs in the behind-area, while others add extra cushion. The butt bras are as they say—pushing up and out those flat bottoms. So grab your waist trainer, and add one of these embellishments and you are set for a night out at a perfect form of woman.
Time for Major Squats
Now that you have experienced a delicious night out as a new you, it is time to get serious in a different direction. You probably are already embracing the new found confidence after wearing these garments, and are ready to do the hard work—exercise.
Anybody who is into fitness routines, know squats tighten and lift the butt like no other exercise can. Start off slow, and gradually increase the repetitions. You can do them anywhere (almost) and anytime. Just do them. They do wonders for developing great thighs too. And anytime you get a chance to run stairs or use a stair climber, take advantage. If you continue diligently, you will want more, so try doing jump squats; you will whittle fat at the waist and burn calories fast. Activate those butt muscles, get moving.
Increase the Confident Mind
Now move on to those lower body workouts and add weights. Start small with the 10-20 lb. range. Some terrific workouts for this area using weights are of course the dumbbell squat, sumo squats and lunges. Hip thrusts, butt bridges and leg presses are also effective in developing strong muscles. If you want to add a little more excitement to the fitness routine try hoola- hooping, hiking, dancing, and Pilates. The more you do, the more you can do. Before you even realize it, your body is going to beam with golden results.
Eat what you Want, But Not That
Now all your attention will move onto eating habits. You will have to incorporate foods which will help burn belly fat but also feed the bottom for that perfect butt. Try to make excellent food choices by passing up processed foods, fast food, refined foods and high sodium products. Basically eat high on the food chain, and think 'naturally occurring' foods like simple vegetables and fruits. For proteins, add the fish or lentils…get creative with healthy sauces. Carbs are going to be a challenge, as most women know; the butt gets big from carbs. Study healthy eating plans and try to incorporate a healthy balance. Eat a dessert once a week so deprivation doesn't set in and set you up for failure.
Butt Enhancement Pills?
Let's talk about incorporating supplements and enhancement Pills. This isn't for everybody. But for those who are implementing a healthy fiber-rich diet, and strength training for a bigger butt, you may be able to benefit from butt enhancement supplements. Most of these are derived from organic herbs meant to stimulate growth hormones. Other benefits are acne reduction and increased mood and energy.
Look at what you are wearing
The last step is a simple but an important one. Choose the right clothes. While you might be sporting a waist trainer or some pretty snazzy butt pads, all this is not going to impress if you opt for the wrong selection in wear. Too tight of leggings may reveal the outline of the padding or a bad fitting dress could tell all your shape secrets. Pull it together nicely and then take on the world.

Lilian and Laura have known each other for about 35 years. They both went to the same grammar school in Belfast, although Laura grew up in Co. Down – she commuted to school every day (and Laura was a couple of years ahead of Lilian). Lilian has one daughter, Angela and 5 grandchildren who all live nearby.
Lillian also lived in Johannesburg for a number of years before returning to Belfast, and while in South Africa her daughter Angela considered Laura her second mum. Laura has been living in Johannesburg for 24 years. She moved there to experience a different life and enjoy better weather! Her partner Deon is a pilot with an African airline, so Laura enjoys travelling to new places with him. Laura misses a lot of things from home, but food is top of the list, so when she comes home to visit, she loves nothing better than sitting down to a home cooked dish of lamb shanks with all the trimmings!

Remembering La Notte Cafe
When it was located in Berwyn IL.
For a number of years this was the website for the wonderful La Notte Cafe.
Content is from the site's 2008 -2016 archived pages. The new owners of this site's domain have chosen to create a loving rememberance of Chefs Giovanni Matteo Mancini, La Notte Cafe in Berwyn.
If you have inadvertantly ended up here searching for La Notte, note that it is now located in Oak Park. Please go to the restaurant's current website at: https://www.lanotte-op.com/
Giovanni brings the flavor of Italy and the ambiance of upscale downtown Chicago dining to Oak Park's Marion Street district.
Berwyn's La Notte Cafe coming to Oak Park
June 9, 2016 By Timothy Inklebarger Staff Reporter | www.oakpark.com/
Owner to open second location at former Arepa House
Italian food fans will soon have another option in Oak Park with the news that the owner of La Notte Café in Berwyn will be opening a second location in Downtown Oak Park.
Owner Giovanni Matteo Mancini said in a telephone interview that the new location – which is expected to open as early as late July – will operate under the name La Notte Ristorante Italiano and will be located at 118 N. Marion St. in the location formerly occupied by Aripo's Venezuelan Arepa House.
"I want to kind of duplicate what I did in Berwyn for the past 10 years – fine Italian with a casual atmosphere," Mancini told the Oak Park Board of Trustees on June 6, just before the board unanimously approved a liquor license for the establishment.
"The menu is going to be a little bit more reduced from what I have right now, but it's going to have a lot of the same things," Mancini said.
He noted that like with his Berwyn location, the menu at La Notte is flexible.
"They can actually change the menu and ask for things that are not on the menu, and as long as I have the ingredients, I will make them whatever they want," he told the board.
La Notte Café has operated in Berwyn for the last 10 years, but Mancini, an Oak Park resident who was born and raised in Italy, said he looks forward to opening a location in his hometown.
"I've been in the business all my life," he said. "I'm coming back home to where I belong."
He said the new location is about 1,900 square feet, including the kitchen and will seat approximately 60-65 people. Mancini also hopes to include four to five tables in a sidewalk dining area.
The new La Notte is slightly smaller than the Berwyn location, which seats 85 and includes an outdoor deck.
Mancini said almost everything at the restaurant is handmade fresh and cooked to order.
He said the Berwyn restaurant has grown a reputation that draws patrons from Oak Park, River Forest and other cities in the western suburbs as well as Chicago. He expects the Oak Park location to have a similar draw.
"A lot of people come from the outside because the name is pretty well-known," he said.

He suggested a special fish dish that was not on the menu, recommended a perfect wine to go with the meal, made me a fabulous manhatten, and was the perfect host throughout. The interior setting is just lovely and the commuter trains going past out front just added to the unique flavor of the restaurant.

A few years ago, residents of London didn't know any other form of tantric massage London apart from the conventional method of rubbing the body using 4 hands.

This kind of happy ending massage in London is, therefore, an important health and fitness exercise that should be performed regularly.

According to a new rumor from Jonathan Geller at BGR, Research In Motion may be looking beyond licensing parts of its BlackBerry operating system and moving on to selling entire divisions or more. According to Geller's sources, Samsung is very interested in the company. But it wouldn't be to make BlackBerry devices with Samsung hardware, it would be to make Android devices with BlackBerry software.
When you look at why manufacturers decide to heavily customize their Android devices, it really boils down to one thing: Differentiation. While Samsung already has TouchWiz and an entire portfolio of Samsung-only apps, claiming exclusive rights to already popular BlackBerry software would give them a leg up against the competition. If Samsung was to outright purchase RIM, they could pick and choose how they integrate BlackBerry services and apps into their Android apps.
Earlier this week, Samsung announced plans to merge their Bada OS with Tizen, an open-sourced Linux-based OS backed by Intel. But with RIM rumored to be asking for more than $ 10 billion for a full sale, it's highly unlikely Samsung would be open-sourcing BlackBerry services if they were to acquire them.
We already know 2012 is going to be an interesting year for Android and other popular companies and platforms, but if Samsung were to buy RIM, I don't think interesting would cover it. What do you think? Are RIM and Samsung a match made in heaven, or is this all just hot air?

Sensu Plugins: A History
Creating a set of production grade gems from the Sensu Community Plugins is a huge task that will take considerable time; only with the continued effort of many people can this goal can be achieved.
The original community plugins repo has already been split in smaller repos, based upon application. This means all the Windows plugins, handlers, etc. are in a repo named sensu-plugins-windows, the AWS plugins are in sensu-plugins-aws, and so on.
This is only the first step towards completing the transformation, existing tooling will need to be improved and new tooling created for managing all the repos separately but also as a whole. A maintainer should be able to issue a single command and have a template generated and installed in all repos, manually copying a file to every repo is so 2006. :D

A futures market for movie-making? Two thumbs down
Smetters writes that this exchange, to be sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald, is being opposed by most big Hollywood studios and the MPAA, claiming that it will "lead to speculative bets, insider trading and false rumors." Since the industry has thrived for a century on the backs of whales and, more recently, venture capital, I don't see how this would be any different. Nonetheless, part of a financial reform bill currently working its way through Congress would ban the exchange. Spoil sports.
In a phone conversation, Smetters made a cogent argument against the quality of offerings that would appear on the exchange. He compares it to a "market for lemons," a phrase made famous by Nobel laureate George Akerlof. In the movie exchange, the buyers would have very little information on which to base a purchase, while the sellers would have a great deal of information; enough, he speculates, that only for potential turkeys would the producers reach out for market financing. Buyers wouldn't have a shot at a piece of a James Cameron megablockbuster like Avatar, but might be allowed to foot the bill for stinkers like Did You Hear About the Morgans or Old Dogs.
I asked him if this might be of use to independents who don't have the backing major studios enjoy. He thinks that the exchange might work if the projects listed were limited to independents only, to avoid the lemon problem, but suspects this could not be done legally.
Even if this exchange comes to fruition, I wonder how many investors will ever see a taste of the profits. As Edward Jay Epstein explains in his book "The Hollywood Economist," "the movie business is a fee-based business," and most of the time "there is no net." Take his example, Gone In 60 Seconds, which grossed $242 million at the box office and cost $103.3 million to make. He shows how, once everyone in the food chain of producing, distributing and showing the films had carved out their slice of the pie, there was nothing left except a net loss of $95 million. Imagine if you had invested your money here.
Nonetheless, if you're still interested in taking a fling at fame and fortune, consider the suggestions of my fellow WalletPopper Ron Dicker on how to select your film.
A movie exchange would probably draw the same people who buy one share of Harley-Davidson, and get their money's worth from hanging a certificate on the wall they can brag on. A savvy investor would give this market two thumbs down.

We are a product of little moments, habits and intakes of organized and disorganized thoughts, words and noises all added up. The result is a world of different beliefs and ideologies, the religious and nonreligious.
In large part, we end up believing in what we've been exposed to and what has been repeated in our minds growing up, voluntarily or involuntarily, about every and any subject matter. Because of this, we end up forming our own judgments based on third-person hearsay or negative experiences rather than searching and conducting due diligence on what we don't fully know.
Take for example, the Christian religion. Society's impression of Christianity is typically not a positive one and often associated with "hypocrisy." Is this an issue of the religion or the people who follow it? A hypocrite is the very action that Christ condemned during his time on earth. Has Christianity along with its understandings and practices become so different, diluted or compromised to the point that if Jesus was here, he would not consider "followers" to be actual followers?
But the latter is not a question only Christians should be asking but every individual who claims a religious label, or any label at that—a Muslim, a Buddhist, a professor, a preacher, etc.
For those on the opposite side of the spectrum from the outside looking in, making conclusions based on what has been seen or heard are only surface level assumptions that need probing—looking into the foundation of the faith. And one place to start is through the original sacred text that each religion goes by.
Due diligence is seeking after the uncertain and unknown on your own instead of taking the easy way out and making quick assumptions or relying on indirect sources rather than the source itself.
In addition to looking into the original source for what we do not know, included in the unknown is what we cannot see with the naked eye or measure with mere observation or science. What we call telepathy, the sixth sense, and miracles all point to a spiritual realm, which is a religious matter. Just because we can't explain or measure an occurrence, it doesn't nullify the existence or relevancy of the experience.
Science alone cannot be the only basis for finding proof that God exists or not. The spiritual realm is beyond the physical and it cannot be measured with physical tools just like it wouldn't make sense to measure the wind with a ruler, or the soul with a scale.
Religion plays an important role in our lives whether we believe in a higher being or not because we're constantly surrounded by it. The majority of the world is religious. It penetrates into politics. It affects us consciously and subconsciously. The question is, how will we respond? We can either choose to be ignorant and judge quietly or obnoxiously and incorrectly without knowing the whole picture—or we can examine, search and go out of our way and all the way, to find truth. And that is certainly worth it.

Since leaving Vietnam for America in 1991, Brian Doan has embraced photography, the medium he has allowed to surpass his early flirtations with painting and poetry. Through photography he has found a means to explore and chronicle his passions. A formalist by nature, he works primarily with black and white, creating intimate, yet distanced images of people and daily life.
Doan follows his dreams. It is obvious in his work. His love for his homeland and the Vietnamese people is evident throughout. A longing for his homeland, for a youth uninterrupted by politics, for unity amongst his people is expressed in conjunction with his worship of the form and beauty of daily life.
Throughout his career, Doan has focused the majority of his attention on his heritage. He seeks to express the spiritual essence of the Vietnamese people, to address what it means to be Vietnamese at this time in history. His work reflects upon the dilemma of change that has been the result of a turbulent century leaving a rich culture split apart with its people spread around the globe.
Doan's Dream House series is about memory, sexuality and the fantasies of lost youth. It is a recreation of a time of innocence; a time when the influence of Europe provided opulence, the impact of which was not fully felt. The women, stripped bare, in a large, elegant, colonial house, serve as a metaphor for a country that has been raped by others, yet retains its dignity and future potential through the strength of its people.
Photographs of the nude figure, other than as a direct landscape metaphor, are frowned upon within Vietnamese society. Doan has gone beyond normal restraints and sought out women to photograph in Vietnam and was one of the first from the US Vietnamese community to exhibit nudes here.
In the last five years, Doan has had numerous exhibitions, won awards and has curated several exhibitions of work by Vietnamese photographers. In 2000, he initiated and co-curated with Jerry Burchfield an exhibition at Cypress College in California titled TOUCH: Contemporary Vietnamese Photography. This exhibit featured the work of important Vietnamese photographers from around the world. It was the first exhibit in the United States to feature work by artists living both within and outside of Vietnam to be accepted by the Vietnamese community here and in Vietnam. Void of political agendas, the exhibition was about being Vietnamese and the catalogue won an award from the American Museum Association.
Of late, Doan has been producing a series of extended portraits of women called the 24 Hours Series. This project involves shooting a day in the life of fifty different women, which he presents in book form and in long sequential photographic images.
Currently, Brian Doan is living in Colorado and working on several ongoing projects. One of which is a book and traveling exhibition of photographs by Vietnamese photographers living within the United States. Photography is a tool with which he is insuring that the legacy of his people will survive. For Doan, photography is also a magical means for him to express visually the poetry that comes from inside.
I was in a big French colonial house. The smoke-black wooden floor was scratched and dusty. The windows, large and elegant, were covered with ivory colored cotton cloth. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time. Light entered the house, soft and illusive. It had a dreamlike quality, yet I felt it to be more like the feelings one gets as the mind wanders on a sleepless night. Noise from the street filtered inside and echoed throughout the empty hallways. I could hear young girls giggling in another room. I was oddly aroused.
When I was a small boy, I spent a year living in a similar house with seven female cousins. They were young and beautiful. I was the first and only boy in the family. At the time I was too small to understand my cousin's jealousies, happiness and problems. I saw their naked bodies without realizing the differences between us. Yet they confided in me and told me their secrets. The kids in the neighborhood told me that I was living in a dream house. They were envious of me.
Time has past and I have not seen my cousins since that one fateful year. I left Vietnam, while my cousins stayed and got old. Some have gone to another world.
The pictures in "The Dream House" series are not from the dream house of my youth. The photographs are a recreation made on a recent trip back to Vietnam. The girls are not my cousins, but strangers who agreed to help me flirt with my memories from a time of youthful innocence. Despite the distance created by the inevitability of time, the mood is still the same. It brought me back to the atmosphere that aroused me as a youth and allowed me, once again, to live in a dream house.

Mercury Oxygen Sensor by Model+
The Mercury Oxygen Sensor monitors the ratio of air and fuel in the exhaust and reports it to the engine control unit (ECU). The ratio of air and fuel that gives maximum efficiency is called a "perfect ratio". There are two possible mixtures of air and fuel in the combustion chamber: rich and lean. The mixture is rich when the amount of air is less than that of the perfect ratio and is lean when there is excess air than that of the perfect ratio. If these mixtures are detected, the fuel injection is regulated to maintain a perfect air-fuel ratio.
If your Mercury Oxygen Sensor is not functioning properly, you should replace it as soon as possible. Buy Auto Parts stocks a wide range of OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts for every car make and model. All our car parts are tested thoroughly and come with a warranty and free shipping!

Boerse.website is a young and promising project created by crypto enthusiasts. The service provides safe and fast transactions without revealing users identities. We provide the best possible rates by comparing a wide range of reliable trading platforms and work with GELD, GELC, ETH and BTC.
We don't fix currency rates and never have because of the volatile nature of cryptocurrency, where the rate of any currency can fluctuate every minute, except for GELDC coins which are not yet traded on any other exchanges and therefore no fluctuation exist. This is why the final rate may be slightly higher or lower than expected at the end of a transaction, except for GELDC coins. Keeping the rates fixed would require us to cover market risks and currency volatility, which as a result would make our commission fee much higher. Instead, Boerse.website charges a quite low commission fee (0.5%) and offers the best available rate at the moment the transaction is completed for all 4 coins we offer.
With more than 23 years of experience we'll ensure you always get the best guidance. We serve clients at every level and always find a satisfied way for all parties envolved.
Your E-mail is needed to create an account that gives you access to your transaction history, password editing and wallet creating for GELD, GELDC, ETH and BTC.
2FA authentication is a method for keeping your account protected. To log in to your Boerse account, you'll need in a device with the Google Authenticator app installed, although it is completely up to you if you want to activate 2FA.
There is no option to delete an account on Boerse, so you may return anytime you want.
A wallet is a digital place where you store cryptocurrency coins and tokens. A wallet address is a randomly generated combination of digits and letters that is associated with a particular wallet.
You can create wallet-addresses inside the member-area for GELD, GELDC, ETH and BTC at Boerse.website at the "Profile" area and save them. Alternatively you can simply fill your wallet-address from external-sources and save them, in case you want to use already existing wallet-addresses.
There is always a sender and a receiver. The receiver's address is the wallet- address that will receive currency you want to send. For example, if you want to send SGelderGER (GELD), you should specify a SGelderGER (GELD) wallet address in the receiver field.
A tx ID or an hash is the unique address of a transaction in a blockchain that acts as a record or proof that the transaction has taken place. Usually, the tx or hash is a combination of digits and lowercase letters. Whenever you make a payment in cryptocurrency, you receive a tx ID for your crypto wallet. For GELD, GELDC and ETH you can see your transactions at www.etherscan.io by filling in the searchfield your wallet-address. For BTC you can see your transactions at www.blockchain.com by filling your wallet-address in the searchfield.
Each time any amount of cryptocurrency is sent or exchanged, the currency goes through a blockchain. This process requires a small fee called a 'network fee'. The network fee is a commission that a blockchain takes from the amount sent in each currency. It is critical to make sure that the amount you want to exchange on Boerse is enough to cover the exchange fees for both the process of sending your original currency and receiving the new currency you want to buy/send. If the sent amount is too low to cover the fees of the network, the transaction will not go through and your funds will be lost.
Unfortunately, blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once a transaction is made (money is sent to a particular wallet-address), it cannot be rolled back. So, if you are going to send/exchange cryptocurrency, be sure to double check all payment details carefully before sending.
Boerse.website sending and receiving transactions for GELD, GELDC and ETH need only around 5 untill max 30 seconds to be processed. For BTC transactions it takes up untill 1 hour and if a transaction is large (worth over 1 BTC), processing may take longer, depending on the size of your transaction and blockchain capacity.
As a rule, BTC transactions take untill 60 minutes to be processed. If your transaction needs longer, this could be due to a variety of factors, including:

People who've recently taken AI classes that focus on topics such as machine learning know this stuff. It wasn't taught at all when I was an undergrad, and was only being introduced when I was a grad student, so I wouldn't have had the kind of exposure to it that people are getting now. I have to think about what I want to do about this. Assuming I want to pursue this, I have to either teach myself or take a class. Either will take a substantial amount of time that is currently being allocated to dancing, chorus, and piano.

The Presidential Debate season has come to a close with Monday ushering in the third and final meeting between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. The final debate was held at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. The topic was set to be foreign policy but quite lengthy discussion of the economy and domestic issues did push their way in. The moderator was Bob Schieffer, host of Face The Nation on CBS.
Watch the complete 90 minute video:
Transcript: Flash Transcript from ABC News (Will be updated with official transcript within 24 hrs)
Original Air Date: Monday, October 22, 2012
Report from the LA Times:
An assertive President Obama accused Mitt Romney on Monday night of taking an unclear and vacillating approach to foreign policy, saying such confusing signals would embolden the nation's enemies in a time of continued threats.
Romney responded by brushing aside the attacks, saying they failed to address the serious challenges — and opportunities — the country faces as the Middle East convulses in widespread upheaval.
The two men wasted no time tangling in the opening moments of their third and final presidential debate, a session devoted to national security and foreign policy.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, consistent with the earlier debates, took a more moderate stance than he has in much of the campaign.
He praised Obama for the death of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden but said the country "can't kill our way" to a solution in the Middle East. He said the answer is greater economic opportunities and the spread of freedom
Obama immediately went on the attack, citing Romney's earlier Cold War-style rhetoric and suggesting Romney wanted to institute a 1980s foreign policy to go along with a social policy from the 1950s and economic policies from the 1920s.
"Every time you've offered an opinion," the president said bluntly, "you've been wrong."
Looking at the entire 2012 debate series in whole, who came out on top?

The Foundation was established in 1985, and significantly expanded after John and Anne pivoted in 2001 from their investment management careers to working full time in the not-for-profit world, becoming involved with the Aspen Institute and other civic organizations. Following John's untimely death in 2005, Anne and her family ramped up giving focused on the core values she and John shared—in particular, helping young leaders reach their full potential and expanding opportunity to others.
The John P. McNulty Prize celebrating John's legacy of leadership was established at the Aspen Institute, to honor individuals who pivot from successful careers to address critical global challenges. McNulty Scholars for Excellence in Science and Math was founded at St. Joseph's University and subsequently at Hunter College of the City University of New York to advance young women in STEM to become leaders in their fields.
In recent years, the Foundation has stepped up its giving to advance young leaders with a $10 million dollar gift to expand the McNulty Leadership Program at Wharton and $5 million to establish a new Institute for Women's Leadership at Villanova.
In his professional life as in every other aspect of his life John was a force of nature – a person overflowing with vitality, love, conviction and total commitment. Interactions with John were never dull – debating inspired him and gave him limitless opportunities to flex his intellectual muscle. He was unable to engage in anything or with anyone without immersing his total self – mind, body and spirit.
Some described it as intensity – an enthusiasm that John brought to every enterprise. He had great vision and held himself and others to the highest standards in executing that vision. He did everything wholeheartedly. While for competitors it meant almost certain defeat, for clients it meant great advice and flawless execution. For colleagues it meant a committed mentor who brooked no trace of mediocrity, but who gave everything of himself to inspire, cajole and challenge in order to help people advance to and beyond their potential. And for family and friends, it meant steadfast loyalty.
Perhaps it was his Irish heritage. Born in 1952, John was the first of six children of Nora and Charles McNulty, who had newly emigrated from Donegal, Ireland. In a touch of irony given his later career, John's mother's first job was as a housekeeper for a Wall Street investment banker. His father worked as a landscaper and a truck driver. John grew up in a row house in southwest Philadelphia, where his parents entrusted him to pay the mortgage and to buy meat from the butcher. The lessons he learned – how business worked, but more importantly how to interact with a wide range of people – never left him.
John met Anne Welsh at the first dance of his sophomore year at Cardinal O'Hara high school, and they began a singular, intense, devoted partnership that would last for 37 years. At Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, John turned his energies to student government, and was elected president of the student body. After graduation in 1974, John joined the accounting firm Arthur Andersen, earning his CPA. He and Anne both earned their MBAs from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in December of 1979.
From Wharton he joined Goldman Sachs, working with high-net-worth and institutional clients in Philadelphia. In 1986, he moved to Miami to manage and significantly expand the Goldman Sachs office there. He relished not only the chance (and challenge) to be in charge - something he always welcomed - but also the opportunity to hire and train a group of young associates to grow the business.
John returned to New York in late 1989 to create and manage the firm's Special Investments Group, raising significant new outside capital for Asset Management and the Merchant Investment Management Division. John became a partner of Goldman Sachs in 1990, and was named co-head of its Asset Management Division in 1994. He was then asked to head the newly created Investment Management Division in 1998, combining Asset Management and Private Wealth Management.
Under John's leadership, Goldman Sachs built a global investment management business that became a significant and integral part of the firm. Largely through organic growth, at an unprecedented rate, John and his management team increased assets by over 40% per annum, expanding a predominantly US - money market/fixed income business to one that was globally diversified, with a broad range of equity and alternative asset products.
At every step of his career, John delighted in serving as a mentor to younger associates, creating opportunities for them, and marveling at their talents. He inspired them to take risks, and challenged them to tackle problems creatively and enthusiastically. Like a proud parent, he drew intense satisfaction in their accomplishments and attributed his successes to their efforts.
John retired in July of 2001 from active participation as a partner after a 23-year career, including seven years on the management committee for the firm, he and remained a senior director of Goldman Sachs. Along with the desire to spend more time with his children, John wanted to shift his focus from doing well to doing good.
Characteristically, John threw himself full force into his new pursuits. He began by joining the board of the Aspen Institute. He engaged in their seminars, and joined in the planning for the new building on the Aspen campus. Most of all, he wholeheartedly supported the Institute's commitment to values-based leadership, especially its mission to encourage young leaders around the world to "translate thought into action."
John recognized his academic roots by serving on the boards of trustees of both the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and on the Board of Saint Joseph's University. He also served on the board of directors of Carnival Corporation, of Allied World Assurance Holdings, Ltd., and on the board of governors of the Investment Company Institute.
Perhaps no project meant more to John than those to help New York-area children, particularly those of immigrant families like his own, and those children who had been traumatized by the attacks of September 11th, 2001. It was while exploring funding of a counseling program for children affected by 9/11 that John learned about the New York University Child Study Center, of which he became an active board member, committed to the Center's objective of helping children and families cope with mental health and learning issues.
Together with Anne, John also became patron of a small Catholic School in New York's Chinatown - St Joseph's School - which like many downtown schools had been adversely affected by 9/11. John took a direct interest in the activities of the students, especially recent immigrants, and proposed various creative ways to recruit new students, including creating and publicizing merit scholarships.
Returning to Florida, he and Anne quickly became active in their new community, becoming trustees of the Naples Winter Wine Festival, a private organization which runs the largest charity wine auction in the world, for the benefit of the underprivileged and at-risk children of Collier County, Florida.
John died suddenly in late 2005, leaving an enormous absence. The John P. McNulty Prize was created by his family, friends and colleagues to recognize his contributions in leadership, his creativity, his energy, and the spark he carried to ignite that in others. Through the prize we recognize the same extraordinary spirit in others, and continue his legacy.
John's visionary leadership lives on and will continue to shape and change lives through the John P. and Anne Welsh McNulty Foundation.

I have an iPhone 4 kicking around that I use with my children so they can contact me when they are away from home. It worked perfectly until recently, when the power button broke. The biggest drawback to a broken power button is that you can no longer turn off the screen to put the phone to sleep or power off the device to conserve the battery.
After a few weeks of accidental butt dials and dead batteries, I stumbled upon this posting at GrownUpGeek by Randy Brown. It turns out that you can lock an iPhone or power it off without touching the power button when you enable AssistiveTouch in the Accessibility options.
- Open Settings > General > Accessibility.
- Scroll down to AssistiveTouch and tap AssistiveTouch and tap the toggle to turn it ON. The toggle will be green when the feature is enabled in iOS 7.
- A small dark square with a white circle in the middle should now appear at the edge your screen. You can drag this square icon to a convenient location on your screen.
- Tap the circle icon to open the AssistiveTouch menu and then tap "Device" to access the device-specific commands as shown in the image at the top of the page.
- You will see an icon for "Lock Screen" as shown in the image at the top of the page. Tap this once if you want to lock the screen of your iPhone. Tap and hold if you want to activate the iPhone's power-off slider.
Now that your iPhone is sleep mode, just tap the home button to wake it up. If you turned off your iPhone using the power-off slider button, you will need to plug in the device using your charging cable in order to power it back on.

Mater Dei
Carrington has proudly supported Mater Dei students with workplace learning opportunities since 2013. Mater Dei is a coeducational school for students from Kindergarten to Year 12 who have been assessed with mild to moderate cognitive delay as their primary disability.
This community partnership provides students with valuable opportunities to develop practical experience and social skills in the context of real work environments to prepare senior students for post school life.
This program allows Carrington to develop close links to the community, introduce high school students into the aged care environment and be involved in the education and training of young people with disabilities.
This initiative is one of many school based work experience programs that Carrington supports.
Through Our Eyes Reminiscence Program
Since 2011, Carrington has partnered with Magdalene Catholic High School to deliver the "Through Our Eyes Reminiscence Program".
Every year, students from Year 11 are matched with Carrington residents and they meet together weekly for 3 months.
The residents share their lives and the students collate their story together with photos and other memorabilia. At the end of the program, the residents and their families are invited to a presentation afternoon, where the students recount each resident's life and present the resident with a book and an audio-visual account of the presentation.
The sharing of lives results in some very special inter-generational relationships, along with students who are keen to continue to work in the aged care sector.
TAFE Exercise Program
Carrington residents enjoy personal and group training sessions with work experience students from South Western Sydney Institute of TAFE Macquarie Fields Health and Fitness section.
Carrington and TAFE have had an ongoing successful partnership since 2010 and this national award winning program is both innovative and unique to Carrington. The teachers and students work collaboratively with the Carrington Diversional Therapy and Physiotherapy Teams to tailor one-on-one and group exercise programs for interested residents living in residential aged care.
This initiative is one of many offered in Carrington's diverse leisure and lifestyle program to support our residents emotional and physical wellbeing.
Duke of Edinburgh
Carrington supports the Duke of Edinburgh Award program by offering schools the ability to connect with community service volunteering.
Students have the opportunity to complete their Bronze, Silver and Gold achievement awards through a commitment of their time.
The students engage with residents in a one-on-one visit tailored to the resident's interests and abilities. Each student keeps a diary of their visits detailing their activities which is submitted to the Duke of Edinburgh program to complete each award level.
The program has proven to be very successful with our residents who look forward to their involvement with the students each week.
