All-Star Panel: Is Obama going overboard with executive actions?
This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," December 18, 2014. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
ED HENRY, FOX NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: He is using a lot more executive action than his predecessors, right?
JOSH EARNEST, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: Well, I think there is no doubt that the president has sought to use his executive authority to move this country forward within the confines of the law, oftentimes in the face of congressional inaction. That I wouldn't disagree with.
HENRY: But why did he make this public claim that there is criticism that I'm acting on executive basis and I'm doing that, you know, less -- the lowest level in 100 years. That wasn't really true, right?
EARNEST: It was true because the number of executive orders that this president has issued is lower, as you pointed out, than executive orders that have issued by many of his previous predecessors.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: Well, that's a lie. The administration, Democrats saying he has issued far fewer executive orders than any two term president in the last 50 years. Well, when you look at the stats, yes, that is true. It is far fewer executive orders in the blue. But when you add up the executive memoranda, it's 195 orders and 198 memoranda. We're back with the panel. Judge, I mean, this immigration action was not specifically an executive order. It was a bunch of memos that told agencies what to do and not to.
JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO, FOX NEWS SENIOR JUDICIAL ANALYST: Key phrase in what Josh Earnest just is said to our Ed Henry, "within the limits of the law." The immigration orders that he issued, whether he calls them executive orders or executive memoranda, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, he can call it what he wants, were not within the limits of the law. He neutered the law and he made up the law. He basically said I will tell you how to avoid deportation if you do a, b, c, d, and e, and he made up the a, b, c, d, and e.
With respect to Cuba, however, with respect to reestablishing foreign relations with that country, normal diplomatic relations, whether you like that idea or not, the courts have been very clear that is exclusively within the province of the president.
BAIER: Sure. But he cannot lift the embargo by himself.
NAPOLITANO: He probably thinks he can or wishes he could, but he absolutely cannot. If he tries to tinker with that that's a statute that Congress enacted.
BAIER: It's interesting, Mara, two different parties look at the next poll, how is government working, two different ways. Best describes your feeling on how the federal government is working -- broken, 65 percent, 29 percent, just OK, pretty well, five percent. The Democrats say well, this is why the president has to issue the executive orders and executive actions. The Republicans say no, these people want us back to a constitutional following the rules and Congress plays a part.
MARA LIASSON, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: Well, I think that what people want, and we saw this in the exit polls in the election, people want the government to function. They want both parties to work together and they want them to compromise on things. Now it's interesting in that bar graph you put up before, he has issued more executive memorandum than think other presidents. But still the bar in total for executive actions and memorandum is still below other presidents, including Jimmy Carter. So he still has a ways to go. But of course he has two years left and he is planning to be very, very busy.
But he has not made a secret of this. They have said over and over again, we are going to do everything we can with every power that we see he legally has to do as much as he can. And that's what he is doing. And Cuba was no different.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Look, this is quite clear. The president came in as an extremely ideologically ambitious man. He said he was going to change America. He was very open about it. First State of the Union address he talked about changing education, energy, health care. He succeeded in Congress with health care. He did not succeed with anything else. Cap and trade did not succeed.
He loses the House, which means he loses control. He has no chance of enacting anything sweeping again after health care. And he decides he's going to spend the next six years trying to get his agenda enacted by executive order, which is why he oversteps everywhere. And when you say it's not -- the federal government isn't working, what's the definition of working? Sweeping change of our immigration laws in a country that has not decided how it wants to actually do that? It's working exactly as designed where the power of the president is checked, and what Obama is doing is destroying that balance.
BAIER: And Judge, it's going to be challenged in court.
NAPOLITANO: Absolutely going to be challenged in court.
BAIER: All right, judge. Thank you. Panel, thank you. That's it for the panel, but stay tuned for a look at White House holiday celebrations.

For many people with disabilities, the fear of losing critical public benefits, coupled with the high cost of support expenses, has limited them from building financial security. This changed in 2014 with the signing of the Stephen Beck Jr. Achieving a Better Life Experience Act. The ABLE Act as it is known allows individuals with disabilities to open an ABLE Account without losing eligibility to public benefit programs.
In 2015, Governor Brown signed the California ABLE Act which allows qualified individuals with disabilities to open tax-advantaged ABLE accounts in California. California residents with disabilities are allowed to open an ABLE account in any state offering a national plan.
An ABLE Account is a tax-advantaged savings account that allows individuals with disabilities to save and invest money for disability-related expenses (called Qualified Disability Expenses, or QDEs) without losing eligibility for certain means-tested public benefits programs, such as Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Contributions to an ABLE account, currently limited to $14,000 per year, can be made by family, friends, or the beneficiary themselves. The account's earnings are allowed to accumulate tax-free, and the withdrawals, provided they are applied to qualifying disability expenses, are tax-free.
For individuals receiving SSI benefits and/or State or local means-tested benefits, their ABLE accounts must not exceed $100,000.
Criteria of Eligible Individuals
An "Eligible Individual" is someone who developed their disability before the age of 26. The individual must have been living with their disability for at least one year, or they must expect their disability to last for at least a year.
In addition, the individual must meet at least one of the following criteria:
The purpose of an ABLE Account is to help individuals with disabilities maintain or improve their health, independence, and quality of life.ABLE Account earnings are not subject to federal income tax when used for "Qualified Disability Expenses" (QDEs).
These expenses are not limited to just medical expenses, but may also include basic living costs, such as the following:

Who could this guy stupid enough to cross Blair Waldorf be?
Well, Meester's "Heartstrings" might be about Sebastian Stan, if we look back the star's dating history. star right under our noses in a super-secret ceremony when some people probably didn't even know they were dating. But a few interviews with Meester from back in 2010 reveal that its definitely possible that "Hearstrings" is about her former Gossip Girl costar.
- is ian somerhalder dating nina dobrev
- who is vanessa minnillo dating now
- Sex video single chat
Ch-ch-check out the new scene as well as #Team Cap having some fun with Jimmy (below)!

Back in March 2014, when Stan was doing press for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the actor called Ledger "an inspiration" and said that he'd always admired the late actor's performance.
Sure, it's possible that Meester wasn't making a pointed reference with her comment, but this is just too much a coincidence to not be related somehow.
New York, it's like a candy jar - watching people is so phenomenal.

So, pretty much the whole continent has plunged into some sort of deep freeze, this region included. I mean, it's colder than normal... apparently... How am I supposed to know? Anyways...
They'd been predicting snow for Thursday night - Friday morning all week... nothing much (about an inch), but enough to get some excitement going. And so the school district announced on Thursday afternoon that they'd be imposing a 2-hour delayed start to school on Friday. Yay! A delayed start meant I could get at least an hour more of sleep!
I'd fallen asleep on the sofa, and dragged myself up to bed around 10:30... only to come back downstairs an hour later because the couch was comfier than my bed... Tried to silence the voices in my head that were telling me "don't over sleep!" and "the kids will be bonkers tomorrow because of all the snow!"... I heard the rain start and thought "well, this is it!"... I drifted in and out of sleep for several hours, all bundled in my comforter...
At 6:30 AM, I rubbed my eyes and turned on the TV to check in on the "storm"... and was greeted by a pair of perky newscasters who were laughing and saying "where's the snow?" Yup. NO SNOW. Just rain, which had since drifted north, and a rather warm start to the morning, when compared to the rest of the week.
So we had a lie-in, no snow... a shorter school day... all on a Friday. Can this happen every week? It was, for me... Quite amusing.
Just thought I'd share.

Por favor, vamos a hacer equipo en el apoyo a la agricultura local. Vamos a ensenar al municipio que vale la pena continuar programas como esta.Todos a la lucha!
With the colaboration of the municipality of Rincon at Risk (at list in connection with the Farmers Market of Rincon) we are looking for help in all areas. We have been looking for volunteers without much luck. We have a market this coming Sunday the 7th of December from 8-1pm in the plaza of Rincon if you are available to come and help out. You could end up taking pictures, helping the agriculturists mount and break down after the market, cleaning up during and after the event, mounting a workshop (if you have contacts or suggestions, please let us know) or you could be gathering information from those passing through the market in regards to their reactions to the market. The last market of the year will be on December 21st where we'll be having a musical performance by Fernandito and workshops on Greenroofs and green architecture.
Please join as a community force with a cause of support for local agriculture. Let's show the municipality that their support is important in connection with community events such as ours. Yes we can!

I do love beautiful smelling soap, so Europe is a good place to be. But some of the most amazing smelling soaps come from The Bubble Roome in Brooklyn. With combinations like Lavender + Geranium, Fennel + Anise, Chamomile + Calendula and Tea Tree + Peppermint (how nice would that be on a hot day!), the scents are unusual, delicious and made better with no synthetic fragrances, preservatives or dyes. So now those of you with sensitive skin have an alternative to nothing soaps.
And let's talk about evil parabens for a moment. Parabens are a group of chemicals widely used as preservatives in shampoos, moisturizers, shower gels and lotions of all types. Some studies link parabens with breast cancer and other studies question the safety of parabens altogether. And many people poopoo those studies. But I figure, why put chemicals directly into your blood stream through your skin when they can't possibly do you any good?
So the hemp-oil lotions from the Bubble Roome are a blessing. I have tried these lotions and the softness lasts for hours and hours without any grease. They smell great and their base is Aloe Juice (not water), Coconut Oil and Hemp Seed Oil. No parabens at all.
Every product is hand packaged and hand made and made with love. There are mineral salts, sugar scrubs and creams on the site as well. You can easily order the products online or you can visit stores to smell and try on your own (like egg mercantile in Amsterdam).

So the new toy we get to play with has just been released. I see a lot of cheese Misery builds. By cheese I mean 4 ER PPCs and 1 Gauss builds. These builds are really meager and weak. Any competent pilot can easily kill this build (assuming they get within range). Aim for that left Torso which is so easy to hit :)
But my build, well it's a different "All-Round" build. It can snipe and brawl when needed. It's surprisingly pretty durable!
I reject the current Meta and substitute... errr... something else!! Now check out this build!!STK-M (Misery) < MechLab Link
Right so this build you see here has 4 Medium Lasers, 1 Large Laser and 1 Gauss Rifle with 3 Tons of Ammo. This build also runs rather cool, but then most things run rather cool when they have around 16 Double Heat Sinks.
The Gauss is there for sniping. Though it can be used in a brawl when necessary!! So don't forget to use it!! The Large Laser is a decent complement for that Gauss. They also share the same Torso retical so they work very well in tandem. Oh and that CASE? Don't skimp on it! CASE stops your Ammo (in this case Gauss Rifle) explosion from heading to your Center Torso. It doesn't stop the explosion from happening. But the damage won't go to your Engine. Gauss Ammo doesn't explode, so you can move it to your Legs. But there really is no harm in sticking it in the Torso. Lose that Gauss Rifle and that Ammo is useless anyway.
The 4 Medium Lasers are there for brawling. They are probably one of the best brawling Lasers currently. If heat is becoming an issue, start chain firing, you can manage that heat better. Make sure you never Overheat!
One can argue this build is basically an upgrade of the Stock standard Misery. It is, but the Stock standard is not half bad. It's only issue is that it's slow and has heat issues. Also that SRM6 seems to have only been "slapped on" as an afterthought. To me, that Missile Hardpoint is very useless and should've been a second Ballistic Hardpoint!

I started writing on this blog just 4 long/short months ago. That's how long the "official" process has taken. But, looking back, my road to Catholicism has been a much longer process. Some would say I've actually always been Catholic by virtue of my baptism, and that I'm only now just returning fully home. But in my adulthood, it was years of wondering things like what the purpose of Church was, the relevance of Jesus in our society and world, and a longing to understand how the Early Church practiced their faith. Years of questioning things like our tie to emotionalism in the American Church, and unknowingly longing for depth and consistency and unity that none of my Protestant denominations could ever fully have, more than this, but even simply by virtue of the fact that they haven't had the same amount of time to develop it. Years of frustration over why so many were so focused on how church could serve them, while at the same time being so stuck in comfort and apathy in their day to day living, instead of being focused on how Church could move them and challenge them and equip them to live more like Jesus.
Today is Good Friday. And this Lent, thanks to the tools that the Catholic Church gives to us I've spent this season more reflective than ever on our faith, and the sacrifice Jesus made, and how God can take this sin and brokenness in me and slowly and beautifully transform my own life into one that looks a lot more like my Savior. All the challenges and tears and even anger at times that I've had over the process of this transition all fade now as I am standing just one day away from fully uniting with the Church Jesus himself founded, and has preserved for over 2 millennium.
This feels like a huge deal. Probably because it is. Here, in the Catholic Church, I find a place for not only deep answers to the questions that I have, and for so much Truth you almost don't know what to do with it sometimes. Not only for finding the beautiful Sacraments He has given us. But, also, and most importantly, here in the Catholic Church is where I find the tangible and physical Jesus. I think anyone, if they came to a point that they believed that to be true, that the physical presence of Jesus was to be found on Earth today in the Mass, they would become Catholic in a heartbeat. What Christian doesn't long for a physical, tangible moment with their Savior? How smart of God to give us himself in the Eucharist, to find a way to fold time onto itself and give us a piece of that total satisfaction of our deepest longings while we are still here on this earth. Of course he would do it that way. Of course.
I could write for hours.
Mostly, though, I've been thinking a lot about a quote from this Peter Kreeft book, called Jesus Shock. I finished it his week and the timing was perfect.
He writes: "When an Evangelical Protestant becomes a Catholic, he rightly says, "I have fulfilled my Evangelicalism. I have become more Evangelical, not less. I have found the depth and center of Evangelium, the Good News. I feared the Church as an idol, a distraction from Christ, but I have found that it is more fully Christic and Christocentric than anything else in the world."
And that about sums it up nicely.

Confined placental mosaicism for 22q11.2 deletion as the etiology for discordant positive NIPT results.

Prenat Diagn 2017 Apr; 37(4):416-419
22q11.2 deletion, the most common microdeletion syndrome within the general population, is estimated to have a prevalence of 1 in 3000 to 6000. Non-invasive prenatal testing has recently expanded to include screening for several microdeletions including 22q11.2. Given the expansion of prenatal screening options to include microdeletions, it is important to understand the limits of this technology and the variety of reasons that a discordant positive result can occur. Here, we describe a case of a pregnant woman who received a positive non-invasive prenatal maternal plasma screen for 22q11.2 deletion. Maternal and postnatal neonatal peripheral blood cytogenetic, PCR, and fluorescence in situ hybridization studies were normal, but the placenta was mosaic for 22q11.2 deletion in two of three biopsy sites. This case illustrates both the complexities of pre- and post-test counseling for microdeletion screening and the potential for a discordant positive microdeletion result because of confined placental mosaicism.

When you consider all the time, resources and effort spent, in developing patient educational materials, by specialty pharmacies along the therapies of RA, MS, HIV/AIDS, Oncology and Transplant, payers, PBMs, pharmaceutical manufactures, disease-specific associations and hospitals, one would surmise that an opportunity exists, to use them in broader channel marketing efforts.
Pharma and disease-specific associations have great and innovative marketing programs around patient education. After that, specialty pharmacy's, PBMs, and hospitals, not so much. I think that their use in marketing campaigns will depend greatly on the quality of the materials. And in some cases, they are pretty poorly written and designed. Sometimes lacking all together.
But are all healthcare segments, especially specialty pharmacies, missing an opportunity to truly differentiate themselves in a lookalike marketplace?
I know. We all think we are the best at what we do, offering considerable expertise, advice and education to improve the health, compliance, adherence and healthcare IQ quotient of our patients. Is that really the case, or, is it just to show payers that you are engaged in direct patient education, supplementing the investment in out-bound call center infrastructure, using computer based clinical information systems, etc.
Patient education is a great medium to reinforce your brand, your brand promise and create customer evangelists. But that of course assumes, that you are doing original work in patient education. And not, just throwing together one-page disease information sheets, or using information from associations or pharma. Just because you throw some patient education materials in a med box, pass them out at a health and wellness fair, or use another other channel for distribution, doesn't mean that you are accomplishing anything. Other than your materials possibly reaching the recycle bin.
This is by no means a knock on any association or pharma materials, for they are great sources of information and advice. They just lack an organizational imprint of who you are, your brand and brand promise, to be able to showcase the breadth and depth of your knowledge and expertise. And that imprint doesn't mean putting your logo on the materials.
Besides the pervasive fear of competitors seeing what you are doing, patient education materials need to be on your web site, in easily accessible and downloadable formats. You can use QR codes in your mobile marketing, that take individuals to the patient education section. Reference them in your communications programs. Build a marketing strategy around them to differentiate you from other providers.
Be the first and everyone else looks like a "me too".
Sometimes, the simplest marketing strategy is the one that creates customer evangelists, improves health and well-being and positions you as a leader in your healthcare vertical.
Don't discount the importance of patient educational materials in your marketing and what they can do for you.

Paramount Miami Worldcenter developers are completing vertical construction on the 60-story residential high-end tower, capping a nearly $4 billion task that's altering among the biggest skylines in the United States Southeast.
The last beam was put Friday atop the highest point in the condominium covering 10 blocks stretching 27 acres in Miami's downtown. Developers say the job is one of the greatest now under building and construction in the United States.
During an event for the mixed-use job this morning at 129 NE 8th Ave., flags from 50 nations flew atop the building, representing the citizenships of the various purchasers. Argentina, Mexico, Russia, Greece and Guatemala are among the countries represented in the purchaser pool for a job where the typical apartment price tops $1 million.
" Miami has become a truly global city and this building is a clear indication of that," developer Dan Kodsi said in a declaration.
The 569-unit structure has actually generated more than $400 million in presales so far, designers said. Units range from 1,180 to 2,350 square feet each, and tenancy is set for early next year.
Features include an outdoor soccer field, 2 tennis courts and a resort-style pool total with cottages and rental properties.
Aside from the condominium tower, Worldcenter will have a 444-unit apartment building that is arranged to open in the fourth quarter of 2018, and an office tower with approximately 600,000 square feet slated for 2021.
Nitin Motwani is handling partner of a development group that consists of Art Falcone. When finished, the development will feature an open-air retail, dining and home entertainment center, a 1,700-room Marriott Marquis and a 2nd house tower.

I've had a giant hankering for pastrami for the last week, probably because of sneaking peaks at the posts about it on the New York board.
Out of desperation I bought some today at Saul's. They are using Neiman Ranch meat, slicing it to order, and the package was warm when it was handed to me.
Tonight I warmed up some rye bread, slathered it with mustard, and loaded it up with the pastrami. The meat looked good, well marbled with fat, and very moist. More importantly, it tasted fantastic! The seasoning on the outside was nicely peppery. The meat was rich and smooth--I think the word unctuous may have been developed just to describe this food.
I'm not a Saul's fan, and I've been disappointed by their pastrami in the past. I don't know if the improvement in the pastrami department means that any of the rest of their food has changed. The last time I ate there was for breakfast, because it's a favorite place of friends with a child who has tantrums if she is taken somewhere without either hamburgers or freshly roasted turkey on the menu. Breakfast was just as annoying as I remembered Saul's to be--haphazard service and unimpressive food.
I'll go to Saul's willingly now--though I may never stray from the pastrami.

Tiger census: New mechanism evolved
Project Tiger officials are using a mix of the world's most modern and scientific methodologies to get an exact number.india Updated: Aug 25, 2006 21:08 IST
In a bid to quell the controversy over the number of tigers in the country, wildlife scientists have evolved a new and more scientific mechanism for a census of the big cat and come out with their near exact number by December next year.
About 88,000 personnel are involved in the world's most massive exercise to ascertain the near exact number of tigers in the country, YV Jhala, scientist with the Wildlife Institute of India said on Friday.
He said Project Tiger authorities were using a mix of the world's most modern and scientific methodologies to arrive at near exact number of tigers.
The new technique uses extensive sampling of the tiger habitat at the beat level using the data with satellite maps of the area to ascertain the spread of tigers and research and review of data by wildlife scientists.
It includes peer review by international experts and has audit mechanisms at every level, he said.
The earlier mechanism to count tigers used the pugmarks of the animal for the census, Jhala said adding peer review was not possible in the process.
Jhala said the Project Tiger authorities have almost completed the data collection for its phase one and two and its report will come out by December this year.
While the work of collecting data for phase three is on, the final report will be complete by December next year.
He said wildlife scientists also plan to use DNA profiling of the tigers in the census.

After three days of great food in Chicago, my one regret is that one night was wasted at Le Bouchon. Sacrilege? Well, maybe, and one anecdotal dining experience shouldn't (and won't) adversely affect such a popular place. But I wouldn't recommend it for people like us (my wife and I). Here are the reasons;
1)The place is out of the way from most popular sections of downtown Chicago and does not have parking so most will be taking a cab ride (no biggie but worth noting).
2)Le Bouchon no longer allows BYOB, and the existing wine list is way over-priced (three times retail) with crappy thick small wine glasses being the only available. There were some good wines on the list, but just not an option to me at those prices. This, to us, is a BIG deal.
3)The "service" was a cold as a discarded mackerel in February. Our "waiter" took our initial order and then never returned. Our appetizers and entrees were then delivered by various assistants/staff who never asked how things were, they just delivered food. Not good, particularly when the item below happens...
4)Lynn ordered the soft shell crabs. Two crabs were delivered looking like they had been run over by a truck. There was no apparent effort at presentation, whatsoever. She took a bite and gave me a look like someone had just shot her in the back. I asked her what was wrong and she whimpered, "I can't swallow this". I tried to cut a piece but crab was so mushy it wouldn't cut. Finally I got some on my fork and tasted-it was putrid-my guess-the crab had been dead for days before cooking (softshells don't last long once eviscerated for cooking). The metallic taste is one that will not go away easily.
5)Thanks to our non-present waiter, I had to flag down the owner who does (to his credit) walk around the small dining room obviously worried about such calamities. I HATE having to get up and "flag down" any staff in any restaurant. To Le Bouchon's credit, he personally asked Lynn what she would rather have and it was delivered immediately. Well done.
6) The crab was $8 more than the hangar steak that replaced it. Was an adjustment made to the check? Nope. I don't expect the institutional "the entree is now on us" approach from such a small restaurant, but to not credit us for the less expensive replacement? Inexcusable. Not worth my aggravation to make a spectacle by saying something since the waiter quickly delivered the check and ran off, I chose not to have it corrected. Another bad taste in my mouth, tho not nearly as bad as the dead putrid crab.
7) My appetizer, the carmelized onion tort was not good. With such a simple dish, there's a fine line between sublime and mediocre. It has to be done right and be done on the same day it's served. My guess is it was at least two, maybe three days old and thrown in a microwave to warm it up. No thanks.
8) My entree, veal kidneys in a mustard sauce, were over-cooked such that each bite was similar to biting into an old fashioned crisp-casing hot dog. The kidneys were swimming in a small bowl of cream. There was a lot of cream and no evident mustard. Boring, badly prepared, no thanks.
9) I was prepared for this-I had read about it-We've dined in Europe and the most crowed little places in Manhattan, but still, it's hard to be prepared for the din and lack of space. We literally could not talk to each other without yelling. The poor woman behind me smacked me in the face with her coat inadvertently while she tried to put her coat on before departing. No problem if everything else is good, but a real jab in the guts when everything else is mediocre to rotten.
So yes, the entree prices are absurdly low. The appetizers are not so low, and no bargain, and the wine prices are out of the question considering the atmosphere and stemware. The service is poor, the place is inconvenient. For the older cocktail set and young "work's over, time to party" set, I can why the place has it's fans (BTW, these two groups made up the vast majority of the clientele we observed on this Friday night). Not for us, though, and probably not for many people visiting and looking for a pleasant dining experience.

A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Managers' Whistleblowing Tendencies*
- 437 Downloads
- Citations
In a global marketplace, managers often face major difficulties when it comes to handling ethical problems within a different cultural context. Whistleblowing is one possible response to ethical problems. This study considers the differences in culture between a United States sample of managers and a Jamaica, West Indies sample of managers using Hofstede's (1991) theory of International Cultures. The study explores how those cultural differences may help in our understanding of the differences in reported whistleblowing tendencies.

Yesterday, we had an examination of witnesses concerning my mother's estate. It was a free for all and emotionally exhausting. If I could have stabbed one of the attorneys in his black, disgusting, filthy heart, I would have, dozens of times. It is this type of person that I would not save from the clutches of Hilter and to tell you the truth, I wished it was 1942 not 2008.
So, for since at least February, I have been running the hamster wheel type of existence. Moving a mile a minute, yet getting nowhere.
I have almost become a recluse only visiting my brother, his wife and my beautiful nephew week in and week out.
Now, I should be working on my taxes, but I can't, though I am furiously working to get them filed on time. Anal that I am, I insist on doing it all myself and I am bleary eyed late into the night if I am not stressed out and unable to fall asleep until well past 1 am.
Why am I complaining you ask?
Well, since early February, some of you may have noticed that I have not written much, much less mentioned Quiet Man.
Since about the first week of February, I have not seen nor heard from him. In fact, I was so busy with my own things, I barely noticed or missed him.
During the examination yesterday I forgot to shut off my cell phone. In order to stop it from ringing I answered it and just said, "I am in the middle of an exam right now I cannot talk," without looking at who called.
It was Quiet Man. After two months. What the hell.
So, it was about 12:30 pm when he called. I returned the call at about say 8:45 pm. He did not answer.
In addition to having been up since about 6 am the night before only having slept a few hours, and when I returned his call, I had not even been home all day, not eaten a thing, and only had two coffees to keep me going, I was feeling the exhaustion return in droves. I had arrived where my car was parked for the day and discovered after being dropped off that I did not have my car keys nor my house keys which were with the car keys.
I called a friend with whom I was with earlier who lives about 30 minutes away, and they had my keys, damned them, but it really was my fault for when I was with them earlier in the evening, I let my keys fall out of my bag, which I should learn to close regularly.
So having arranged for a ride to get my keys, Quiet Man rings me at about 9:45 pm. I was chatting with my other brother's girlfriend at the time.
I see his initial on the caller ID. I have never put his name in the phone, just his first initial.
I sighed heavily while answering the phone, "Ah, hello?"
"Allo Muse," the familiar voice flowed.
"Yes, Quiet Man, hello?"
I was not going to carry this conversation, for he paused as if I was to jump in there bestowing upon him an adulation for not hearing his voice in two months.
There was deadness.
"Ah, Muse, hello. How are you?"
"Are you there Quiet Man?" I said as if I did not hear him.
"How have you been?"
"Fine and you?" I decided to reply.
"I am well."
"You are? Well I heard that a friend of yours committed suicide; Ricky told me when I wanted to confirm what Dane told me."
"Yes, he called me about a couple of weeks ago about something."
I had not heard from Dane since I last went out with him. He is quite a character. I waited to call him back for about a week and a half. He did not notice.
I told him I was going to call him but when I found out it was not a family member, per Ricky, I was not going to call him.
It sounded like he was in a crowded bar, but what was I thinking? The likelihood was that this man was in a strip club.
I had a hard time hearing him and I was at a point in the road where the cell would go dead. So I told him this and the phone went out.
But not before I told him "I hate your guts!" And after a pause I laughed. He had just asked me something to which that was a reply in the opposite: he was wondering why he did not hear from me in so long, he suggested that his thought was that I was mad at him.
So I arrive home and called him. No answer so I paged him instead of leaving a message. After a while, I called him again. No answer. I did not leave a message.
That night, I forced myself to fall asleep at about 2 am. I was exhausted but unable to sleep.
Awaking still very tired and it showing on my face, I rang a few people, deciding to not rush into work this morning. Speaking with a friend, we tell each other our woes in a conversation that lasted about an hour. Then my phone rang.
"Who is this?" I did not recognize his voice, then realized it was him.
"You caught me at home, Quiet Man," I told him. I briefly filled him in on my reason for still being home at about 10 am.
So he pussy foots around since I remained obviously guarded with him, surprised he called after I told him I hated his guts.
Finally, he says what is on his mind.
"I no talk to you in two months, Muse."
"So you have been keeping track Quite Man?"
"Yes. It is almost to the day."
"Good for you."
He continues on, unsure of why I admonish him and still speak to him. I am also thinking the same thing, and hating I am not hanging up on him.
I had truly not thought of him, not had time. And it was a good thing not having to have the temptation. I was grinding away in my mind why did he have to call me? I was in a routine in my life without him, now he is disrupting me.
I did not realize that when I spoke with Dane and then Ricky that they probably told Quiet Man. I was so busy with me, that it had not crossed my mind that he may call.
"Yes, Muse, yes," he said, when the topic of the last time we met approached, by his own words.
"Well, Quiet Man, I was going to go to that party, but decided to not go. I was busy."
"Yes, I talk to so and so about some problem Fred has, you know problem."
"Yep. And what is wrong with Fred?"
Quiet Man paused. He knew what I meant.
"Yes, when I asked you to go with us to the party, I talk to Fred. I want Muse to go, I tell him."
"You know Quiet Man, I don't care. I was asked to go with someone else, as I told you, but I did not go."
His speech was becoming more labored and rapid. I was becoming more judgmental.
"I want you go, Muse. But Fred no want Marsha to cause problem. He say that, Muse. That is reason."
This was becoming such an odd conversation all because Quiet Man needed some soul cleansing, or he missed me or his ego was deflated since he believed I have ignored him, but not purposefully only because I was not thinking about doing anything at all.
"You know Quiet Man, I don't believe you and it is not because I care about what you just said or about not hearing from you since then. Do you understand that?"
"Muse, Marsha has problem with you; she very jealous of you."
"Well, I seem to distinctly remember you professing that Marsha was not jealous of me; she was only worried about what kind of career that I have because it threatened her, or so you said, and, as I distinctly remember the fan fare you made out of that on that day in Fred's office."
He did not say anything.
"Or, is it something else? Or was that lie?"
"No lie, Muse."
So we continued on; he told me the story about his friend who hung himself; how he had been with him the day he killed himself. Quiet Man was visiting his family in Europe. His friend had spent and hour and a half with him the day he died the same day Quiet Man flew home. He then had to go back for the funeral.
"So, you saw your mother?"
"Yes, Muse," and he went into a semi detailed account of his trip. He went by himself.
"Muse, you know I was going to Europe," he threw in as an excuse as to why he was not around for fifteen days of the last two months.
"What?" I asked him. I was just listening to him and he throws in these gratuitous remarks. He must have imagined I was complaining where was he all this time. I never said a word.
In fact, he was supposed to go to Europe in January. But I did not remind him of that. In fact, he must believe I keep his itinerary. I do not. In fact, he must believe I was wondering where he was and missed him. I did not. So odd was it for me to listen to him chide me for knowing he was going. The best remedy is to completely ignore him, which I did. He got the hint.
So he brings up the man with the flat feet. He had made ridiculous predictions about me ending up with this person. I am not attracted to him at all. But, I relayed to him a story about how I thought of what he said, telling him he better not run with the story. He did.
"Muse, I predict and you will see.""
"Predict all you want. It won't happen."
I think he does this because he is jealous of the man with the flat feet, but why he thinks I am interested in him is beyond me. To egg him on, I tell him a few choice stories involving the man with the flat feet and how I was glad I did not see him nor Fred at the house parties in the last two months. It would bother him, that is why I said it.
I was going to inform him about Wimpy, but he would not see the humor in it, he would go and find out who he was. I don't even know him, Wimpy.
"So what you hear about man with flat feet Muse?"
"Plenty. What have you heard?"
"So tell me."
"No, you tell me."
"No, I won't."
"Ok, Muse I tell you."
His news: Flat foot packed up and left the bobble head and is living with his parents.
OMG!!!!!!! I did not hear that, so he had me hooked, and filled me in. So I told him now I understood why his mother called me on Easter to go somewhere with her and him. I was wondering why bobble head was not going with them.
"See Muse, I tell you truth not too long ago."
"Oh, stop patting yourself on the back. I have to call his mother."
So we fill each other in on other gossip we know. And we laugh. He then tells me news he thinks I want to hear and believes that I would believe he accomplished some coup for me. He did not, I know it and tell him so.
Despite the sharp responses, he continues on to speak with me, confused by my intermittent laughter and joking.
"Muse, I need to tell you something. You will be happy about news."
"Really? Well tell me."
He stammers and pauses.
"So, what is the problem you can't tell me?"
He trips over his words and I don't catch on right away.
"Oh, you mean you have to tell me in person?"
"It figures. Okay," I told him.
The conversation lasted about two hours. Believe it, it was that long.
So since my day was pretty much shot and I did not leave the house until well past 1:30 pm, I arrived at my office thinking I will RUSH through everything and call him to have coffee and find out what the hell he could not tell me on the phone.
It was a warm day today so I dressed casually. I wore my BCCBG sweat slacks with elaborate embroidery down the calf portion of the pant leg. I put on only mascara on my top lids and a glittery pink Dior lipstick.
I turned back towards my bedroom to splash on some perfume.
I am retarded. I was secretly, from myself, eager to see him. I was hating I felt that way and was too weak to not be pulled towards him.
I come back out of my office primped and freshly lipstick-ed.
I ring him.
"Are you busy?" I said laughingly.
"Ah, yes Muse."
"For how long?"
"An hour?"
"Too long," I said and hung up.
So it dwelled on me as I continued to waste away my day by not working.
Two hours later I rang him. No answer.
I went back to the office and put out a load of work trying to make up for taking a mental health break.
At about 6 pm I called him again. He answered.
"You are still busy?"
"I am occupied, yes, Muse. But I will call you."
"What?" I barked.
"I will call you. Later, Muse, I call, Ok?"
So as I sit here tonight, I am wondering how in the span of a couple of hours, I had become putty in his hands?
Tomorrow is another day and the putty may well just harden.

Cotton tree may refer to:
The Cotton Tree is a Ceiba pentandra, a historic symbol of Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. According to legend, the "Cotton Tree" gained importance in 1792 when a group of former African American slaves, who had gained their freedom by fighting for the British during the American War of Independence, settled the site of modern Freetown. These Black Loyalist settlers, called "Nova Scotians" or "Navitians" in Sierra Leone, founded Freetown on March 11th 1792.
According to tradition, they landed on the shoreline and walked up to a giant tree just above the bay and held a thanksgiving service there, gathering around the tree in a large group and praying and singing hymns to thank God for their deliverance to a free land. Its exact age is unknown, but it is known to have existed in 1787.
Today, a huge Cotton Tree stands in the oldest part of Freetown near the Supreme Court building, music club building and the National Museum. Sierra Leonians believe that this is the tree where the Nova Scotian settlers prayed upon landing, and they regard it as the symbol of their capital city. Sierra Leonians still pray and make offerings to the ancestors for peace and prosperity beneath the Cotton Tree.

Andor and Beyond
As far as potential rulers go, Dynara is quite young, having just passed her 26th birthday recently. She has long red hair (a trait that crops up now and again in the royal family) and her father's commanding green eyes.
Dynara is the Crown Princess of Andor.
Father: King Whitan
Brother: Siad
Uncle: Royal General Blaik
Dynara's mother died giving birth to Siad.
Current Situation
Dynara is currently leading the fight for her crown against some of the more stubborn (or greedy) Noble Houses of Andor. Andor has never been ruled by a queen before, and while some of the nobles are honestly super conservative, others are trying to use this political unrest to take her crown for their own.
When the Orcs attacked, she managed to save as many people in the palace as she could, commoners and nobles alike. She has since proven her extraordinary management abilities time and time again, setting up small, hidden areas for those survivors who can't (or won't) fight to live their lives and be protected, as well as coordinating the rebellion against these invaders. One of her major current goals is to discover the whereabouts of Siad, her brother, and Royal General Blaik as their skill in leading battles is something the rebels desperately need if they are going to take back their country.

What makes you 'click' - a DiSsers guide to doin' better thread titles/topics
Confirmation that you are correct?
It's very weird seeing what people choose to look at and also what you/they don't - in terms of thread titles and editorial alike. Obviously big name acts get traffic but when you're not into a band, what makes you 'click'?
What threads have you started and been surprised they didn't get more replies?
Are there any hints and tips you can offer others who perhaps don't quite get their thread titles or topics of discussion right?
dunno about titles
but this one went well so maybe less is more
Thread titles
should let people know what the thread is about. Sounds obvious but so many people on here ignore it.
Also the opening post should have a bit of detail. Even if the main purpose is to get someone to click on a link there should be a bit of a description about what it is rather than just a link and that's it.
opposite of this. i love threads that have a title like ':)'
followed by a link to a youtube video and nothing else. So mysterious.
Please, no more thread titles starting with "Can we have a thread about...".
Actually, after a few thoughts
there are the threads that get lots of replies but not much interaction between posters - these tend to be threads where you can make a list (last.fm scores, top 5s etc.) but occasionally they break out into a heated argument between people or groups and go of at an interesting (or boring) tangent and then the number of replies goes up and more people look in out of interest in whatever might be being spoken about
The 'rolling' threads obviously get a lot of views and a decent but low level of interaction as people tend to converse around recommendations that they exchange with each other
these threads are also almost never trolled because they tend to be read by specialists and enthusiasts
then, this is more a social board thing, some threads are just timed right - there's a lull in the working day and no one has started a thread for a while and then someone chips in with something that spirals and flows in every which wayfunkycow this'd this
the best threads though are the borderline libelous ones about promoters and tent companies
the worst are the ones about ATPJordan_229_2 this'd this
Totally agree with what you've said above
Though it's getting difficult to come up with new ideas for lists!
maybe it was the same body that I am named after
about ten or fifteen years ago
in Abingdon. Dead "rough diamond". He was a little bloated having spent a few days on the bottom...
Drowned in The Abbey Grounds
I'm from Abingdon and remember this, there was a lot of rumour and gossip around that he'd been found with concrete shoes on or his hands tied, typical small town stuff. Also there was a rumour he'd got The Bendsfunkycow this'd this
Ah, thanks for the story
The police never updated us on what happened (out of towners). I remembee thinking he was a dead hedgehog when I hooked him in with the boat hook. Bit surprised to find he was a full size human being!
The best way to get lots of replies, I find,
is to title a thread something along the lines of "X are the best band ever" (very important that it's stated as if it is fact). Then you get replies from people who agree, and lots more replies from people who don't.FrancescoNoir this'd this
- Jordan_229_2, 8stepstoperfection, and forzaborza this'd this
- Comaboy this'd this
Wat arrrrr wee doin'?
We're sittin' on a ruin...
- ma0sm this'd this
Some of the most google friendly thread titles that garner traffic, don't get a lot of replies.
the ones best avoided are the willy-waving threads.
where middle-aged, middle-class white guys try and outdo eachother with their knowledge of urban music.
The best ones are those that start a good varied debate. I've probably
started loads that I thought were good but died after one reply, if that. I remember one that I started ages ago which was relatively unknown 90s bands that you'd like to reform/make a comeback. I started that before going out on a Saturday night whilst listening to Belly. I was surprised that that thread got around 200 replies and hung on the first page for around a week.

I just ate at the Gran Lux last night, was quit pricey but every thing was excellent. It is located in a new high scale section that they are adding onto the Sawgrass Mall.
The restraunt is a sister to Cheese Cake Factory. The beer selection was very sparse I had a Stella Artois (A Belgin Lager) that was one of three draft selctions they offered.
I didn't try an aptizer as they bring a crusty sour dough bread to munch on. For my meal I tried a dish they called Shaking Beef which is a filet in a mildy spicy asian sauce with red and green onion, served with a generous portion of steamed rice, and it comes with a very good lime dipping sauce. The steak was excellent, It was cut in chunks and was really tender and cooked just right. The sauce it was cooked in was really tasty as well.
The coolest thing about this restraunt is there deserts! They are fresh baked to order, they say to order with your dinner as they take a half hour to make. I sampled the begnets, I never had a chance to go to New Orleans so I do not how these stack up against Cafe Du Mond's...but I will say these were out of this world. They came to the table hot sprinkled with powered sugar and comes with three warm dipping sauces A white chocolate bourbon sauce, a chocolate sauce, and a rasberry sauce (very tart).
All in all was a really great experience but like I said was quit a bit pricey but was defintley better IMHO then Cheese Cake Factory. I would go back just for the desert =)

Joel Levy – Unsolved Mysteries (2016)
Levy's book is a well written survey of a handful of unusual topics, including mysterious locations, sightings of strange creatures, unsolved disappearances, and cryptic artifacts. Unlike my old Mysteries of the Unexplained book, this text presents the standard version of each story as well as the skeptical interpretation of the event or phenomenon, as well as the supernatural, conspiratorial or fringe theories in a section called "Far Out Theories." Topics like "spirit orbs," which are little splotches of light that show up in photographs, are pretty decisively explained as being caused by the flashes on cameras, but Levy also discusses the fringe beliefs, like that orbs are disembodied spirits or some kind of natural phenomena called "earth lights." The fringe is still presented, but confined to a clearly marked section.
So if you are a huge fan of supernatural explanations or conspiracy theories, this book might not be your favorite. Also, the topics are covered VERY quickly, usually in four to six pages with lots of large text and photos. The majority of these subjects: Easter Island, Bigfoot, Area 51, Stonehenge, etc., require several books worth of information to cover thoroughly, and Levy realizes this, so he includes a section called "Further Reading" at the back of the book that suggests a number of additional texts that interested readers can look to for more information. And, my last complaint, there are some strange omissions from this book. There isn't a word about the Great Pyramid of Cheops, or the Crystal Skulls, or Star Children… And WHY, considering the cover has the ALL-SEEING EYE on it, isn't there a section on The Illuminati???
Overall, there are some interesting stories covered in this book, and lots of photos, which is cool. I like the inclusion of the skeptical explanations along with the wacky theories, as well, and the recent publication date means that the most recent research is usually included for each story. The book, however, is definitely a skimmer, just barely touching on each topic before dropping it and moving on to the next. If you are already a fan of Fortean topics, this book is going to seem too rudimentary, but if you're looking for a starter text in WEIRD PHENOMENA, it might be worth picking up!
