text: Australia And A Meteor Shower: Here's What's Trending On Social This Week Australia And A Meteor Shower: Here's What's Trending On Social This Week Photo Courtesy of Vanity Fair From Instagram to Twitter, these are some of this week's trending posts to women, from women and about them. Australian by Association, Miley Cyrus Celebrates Vote in Favor of Same-Sex Marriage This week, a bill was introduced to Australian Senate to legalize same-sex marriage and the response was overwhelming. A non-binding postal vote reflected 61.6 percent of Australians in favor of the proposed legislation with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull saying his government aims to officially pass the amendments in parliament before Christmas. As Australians took to the streets with colorful balloons and peaceful gatherings of celebration, celebrities–both Australian and not–used their platforms to show their support for Australia's historic decision. Yes!!!!! Congrats Australia! Every step taken is one closer to World Peace! Love love love you! Proud to be Australian by association lol ❤❤❤ A post shared by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) on Nov 14, 2017 at 3:19pm PST Remembering "The Dame of Dish" With Respect Just heard- Liz Smith is gone. Great broad. Tough cookie. Trailblazer. And under it all, a softie. Known her for 37 years. Will miss her forever. — Harvey Fierstein (@HarveyFierstein) November 13, 2017 On Sunday, renowned gossip columnist Liz Smith passed away at age 94. Since she bought a one-way ticket to New York in 1949, Smith dedicated her career to breaking stories on celebrities with authenticity and truth, rather than stories of speculation. Smith ended up becoming somewhat of a celebrity herself in her coverage of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, which landed her the Liz Smith column in The New York Daily News, and began her legacy. Although she reported on celebs, they respected her, with many tributes popping up across the Internet this week to honor her impact in the tabloid sphere. A Saving Grace in Myanmar Amidst media attention surrounding Myanmar's humanitarian crisis with the Rohingya, 28-year-old Zahida Begum noticed the opportunity to help her homeland from abroad. Currently living in Bangladesh, the Myanmar-born Begum garnered assistance from friends and relatives across six countries, raising $4000 to send boats for her relatives and nearby villagers in late September, saving at least 400 people. Although the mainstream headlines have faded, it's positive stories such as these revealed this week that contribute to the severity of the Rohingya crisis and the significance of continuing efforts to combat a crisis that is rooted in Myanmar's history. Amy Schumer and Laura Benanti Light Up Broadway In its second week of previews, the star-studded show Meteor Shower topped Broadway's box office at $1 M this week. Led by Amy Schumer and Laura Benanti, and produced by Steve Martin, Meteor Shower is expected to break the record at its venue of the Booth Theater. With the current record being held by The Elephant Man at $1.1 million. If you're hopping on the bandwagon to catch a piece of the performance, expect to pay upward of $161 per seat and some wait time as full sellouts occur. Led by superstars @AmySchumer & @LauraBenanti, @SteveMartinToGo's @MeteorShowerBwy streaks to the "Millionaire Club" in just the 2nd week of previews with a huge huge Box office week: $1million in sales and full sell-outs! pic.twitter.com/P0rlKpSEZl — Broadwayreviewer (@Broadwaycritic1) November 13, 2017 A Woman of Wonder: Gal Gadot Such an honor!! Thank you so much @GQMagazine ! https://t.co/Ia1PqHpWfH — Gal Gadot (@GalGadot) November 13, 2017 This week, Gal Gadot was trending for many reasons. As we entered the week, Gadot reported that she wouldn't return for Wonder Woman 2 if Brett Ratner did amongst a series of allegations against the producer; Gadot confirmed later this week that Ratner wouldn't be returning to the sequel. As she broke this news, she also shared that she was named GQ's woman of the year–amongst three men–in the publication's typical honoring as "men of the year." GQ has named her Wonder Woman of the Year as she is one of four covers for the magazine's December issue, discussing in her interview the role she plays in Hollywood as well as female recognition. Roy Moore's Accusations of Sexual Misconduct Evoke Strong Reaction from Ivanka Trump In response to this week's breaking allegations of Alabama Senator Roy Moore's sexual misconduct toward teenagers in the 70s, Trump told the Associated Press, "There's a special place in hell for people who prey on children. I've yet to see a valid explanation and I have no reason to doubt the victims' accounts." Typically vigilant in her comments, reporters seemingly caught Trump off guard as she was in meetings all day and discovered the news. Although it seemingly emphasizes the work she does for children and empowering females, she did not take her comments so far as to call Moore to exit the Senate race. Tiffany Haddish Takes Over SNL For the first time in its 43 seasons, last weekend's Saturday Night Live was hosted by a black female stand up comedian–Tiffany Haddish. The 'Girls Trip' actress sprinkled in personal anecdotes in between popular culture references, ranging from Trump's hair to the Lion King and Cardi B. Although Haddish's hosted appearance made history, she remained humble as any other host, sticking to her role and working the audience. Tonight on #SNL!! Thank you for sending all the love this week as I prepped for the show. 😘… https://t.co/dYjamNEVj5 — Tiffany Haddish (@TiffanyHaddish) November 11, 2017 Hosting with Honor: Tracee Ellis Ross at the AMAs For the first time, Blackish actress Tracee Ellis Ross is hosting this Sunday's 2017 American Music Awards. Along with introducing some of the hottest names in music right now, Ross will also have the chance to honor her mother, Diana Ross, before a performance from the music icon herself. Recently commended for her speech on authenticity and independence at Glamour's 2017 Women of the Year Summit, this couldn't come at a better time for the comedian, actress, and model to use the platform to continue to spread her powerful message alongside a night of entertainment. I couldn't miss the @AMAs honoring my mom @DianaRoss… so I'm hosting the show! Don't miss it this Sunday at 8/7c on ABC! #AMAs A post shared by Tracee Ellis Ross (@traceeellisross) on Nov 14, 2017 at 7:07am PST I got this close to Drake threatening to jump into the crowd to start a fight with a guy groping a woman in the audience. Violence against women, 6 God says no.🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉 #heropapi #protecterofthepeople #6god #legend #viewsfromthe6 @champagnepapi For licensing and usage, contact: email@example.com A post shared by louisesukari (@louisesukari) on Nov 15, 2017 at 7:04am PST Drake Speaks Up In the past couple months that sexual assault and sexual misconduct have taken over the headlines, we're used to seeing women standing up for each other in solidarity. This week, however, this post went viral as Drake interrupted his set to call out a male audience member groping women in the crowd. Drake threatened, "If you don't stop touching girls, I'm gonna come out there and f**k you up, bruh." It's acts such as these that call attention to the most susceptible of situations–a crowded concert venue–emphasizing how this behavior is never 'OK' and you won't get away with it. Support From Robin Roberts Brings Puerto Rico back in the Headlines Although recovery efforts are in full effect for the island devastated by Hurricane Irma and Maria, there is still a long road ahead, with many families and businesses needing assistance from overseas. Good Morning America's Robin Roberts reminded us of this important message with her trip to Puerto Rico to document the road to recovery, promoting ways in which we can collaborate to help shorten and ease this journey. As I head home I will not forget the incredible people I met on their #RoadToRecovery. The need for help is still enormous. Despite great loss & ongoing challenges bless you for also showing us your great strength, courage, resiliency and faith.🙏🏾❤ — Robin Roberts (@RobinRoberts) November 13, 2017 Jillian Dara Jillian grew up an island girl but converted to city style after living in Boston, London, Santiago, and now, NYC. She is a writer, editor and content creator with a desire to share stories in the lifestyle genre. With a particular focus on travel and profiles, she prides herself on sharing the most authentic story for those who aren't able to share their own.

My wife is pregnant. I think I mentioned that before. It's a girl we found out. I guess I should say she's a girl. It seems a little impersonal to describe my future child as "it." My son was pretty pissed that he's having a sister. He has made it very clear from the beginning he wanted "a baby with a penis" and he didn't want a sister because "girls talk funny and they don't play with toys." I think he's either sexist or gay. He has also decided the baby should be named "Cookie Jar." Sounds like a pimp.
I made the the semi-finals of the HBO Lucky 21 contest. Me and 10 other comics performed at the Comedy Underground a few weeks ago. Kermet Apio and I were the top 2 so we get to go to LA in October and perform. I think I got a little lucky to get 2nd, but whatever I'll take it. Unfortunately it's going to be all online voting after the LA show to see who gets to go to the HBO Comedy Festival in Vegas, but it should still be fun.

One of the most highly esteemed immigrant rights organizations in the United States of America is the American Immigration Council. It is a non-profit organization that was established in 1987.
The American Immigration Council operates with litigation matters, does policy analysis, takes care of communication issues, as well as with international exchange and more. The organization values humane behavior towards people, both immigrants, and natives, as well as creative approaches and honest debates and facts.
The American Immigration Council works in the field of litigation. It helps immigrants achieve a fair judicial process and helps them stand of for their rights as individuals.
The Council has been known to hold the government and other institutions accountable for wrongful behavior towards immigrants. The American Immigration Council has filed lawsuits towards institutions and individuals who have been acting unlawfully towards immigrants in the past.
The American Immigration Council has also been doing a lot of education work over the course of its existence. It has always strived towards educating people about immigrants and their cultures.
The Council has been fighting towards eliminating the discriminatory views as well as towards showing people that they should not fear immigrants solely based on the fact that they have immigrated. It has been educating on the many contributions that immigrants have made to the society both today and in the past. Read more: About Lacey and Larkin- Frontera Fund
The American immigration council helps to arrange cultural exchanges to strengthen businesses between the United States of America and the global market. This helps American businesses broaden their access to innovative ideas. The American immigration Council secures the cultural richness and well-being of a global community by sponsoring its interns and trainees.
The American Immigration Council has been supported by the Lacey & Larkin Frontera Fund. The organization was created by Mr. Jim Larkin and Mr. Michael Lacey. They used to work as journalists before they were arrested at the beginning of October in 2007.
The two colleagues co-founded Village Voice Media as well as Phoenix New Times. Both Mr. Larkin and Michael Lacey had dedicated their journalistic careers to defending the First Amendment rights of people and have exposed many individuals and organizations for neglecting others' fundamental rights.
Jim Larkin and Mr. Michael Lacey received a settlement that amounts to $3.75 million after the lawsuit that they filed against the person who had arrested them – Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The Sheriff resorted to the detention because the two journalists had exposed him for receiving jury proceedings.
The large settlement was directed towards the support of a vast number of organizations dedicated to the protection of civil rights, human rights, as well as migrant rights and freedom of speech. The groups and organizations that Mr. Jim Larkin and Mr. Michael Lacey made donations to are based in the state of Arizona as well as along the Mexican border.
The Lacey & Larkin Frontera Fund is currently a supported of more than twenty organizations. Some of them are the American Immigration Council, the Arizona Justice Project, the Center for Neighborhood Leadership, the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona and much more.

Well DC/CW fans, we have the full synopsis for Supergirl, Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, IZombie, Riverdale and the new Black Lightning.
And is there any secrets in there?
The Supergirl, Arrow, iZombie and Riverdale ones are pretty generic but the Flash and Legends ones might reveal plot goodies.
Firstly, while we're all waiting for the finale of The Flash, the synopsis for season four seems to hint that (highlight to read) Iris West (Candice Patton) is not dead and will be back next season. Which, for anyone watching the show every week, this could be a big spoiler. However, it may also just be a generic synopsis that basically sums the show up in general.
As for Legends of Tomorrow? Well, it has some interesting details….
It seems that at the end of last season, after the Legends met themselves and Eobard Thawne created numerous duplicates of himself, time has been damaged and, as a result, time anachronisms have been created… this is basically a bunch of people, animals and things that have been cast throughout time to places they don't belong.
You may recall the dinosaur in the modern setting at the end of the last episode? So it looks like the Legend swill have their hands full next season.
As a little aside, could we see a well known Wonder Woman villain in Flash next season?
In last week's episode we saw Barry break into Argus and, in the background, we saw this on one of the cell doors:
Could this mean we'll see Cheetah in one of the CW shows?
Who is Cheeta we hear you ask?
Well, like Lex Luthor and The Joker to Superman and Batman, she's one of Wonder Woman's most interlocked villains. In the comics, her more recent and well known story is that she is Barbara Ann Minerva, an archaeologist who, on a trip to Africa, takes part in a ritual to grant her immortality but instead becomes superpowered.
She becomes fixated on the Lasso of Truth and after being beaten and humiliated by Wonder Woman, the two become arch enemies.
And she now exists in the DC/CW universe.
SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC character Kara Zor-El, (Melissa Benoist) Superman's (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later, Kara was living in National City and still concealing her powers, when a plane crash threatened Alex's life and Kara took to the sky to save her. Now, Kara balances her work as a reporter for CatCo Worldwide Media with her work for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government organization whose mission is to keep National City and the Earth safe from sinister threats.
At the DEO, Kara works for J'onn J'onzz (David Harewood), the Martian Manhunter, and alongside her sister, Alex, and best friend, Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan). Also in Kara's life are media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), a photo journalist who moonlights as Guardian, a masked vigilante, Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), and Mon-El of Daxam (Chris Wood), whose planet was ravaged by Krypton's destruction. As Kara struggles to navigate her relationships and her burgeoning life as a reporter, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime. Based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, SUPERGIRL is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti ('The Flash,' 'Arrow'), Andrew Kreisberg ('The Flash,' 'Arrow'), Sarah Schechter ('Arrow,' 'The Flash'), Robert Rovner ('Private Practice,' 'Dallas') and Jessica Queller ('Gilmore Girls,' 'Gossip Girl,' 'Felicity').
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry's life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive The Flash. But when Barry used his extraordinary abilities to travel back in time and save his mother's life, he inadvertently created an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint; a phenomenon that gave birth to the villainous speed god known as Savitar, and changed the lives of Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Wally West (Keiyan Lonsdale) forever.
With the help of his adoptive father, Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), his lifelong best friend and love interest Iris West (Candice Patton), and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs — Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), C.S.I Julian Albert (Tom Felton), and an Earth-19 novelist named H.R. Wells (Tom Cavanaugh) — Barry continues to protect the people of Central City from the meta-humans that threaten it. Based on the characters from DC, THE FLASH is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti ('Arrow,' 'Supergirl'), Andrew Kreisberg ('Arrow,' 'The Flash'), Sarah Schechter ('Arrow,' 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow') and Todd Helbing ('Black Sails').
After the defeat of Eobard Thawne and his equally nefarious Legion of Doom, the Legends face a new threat created by their actions at the end of last season. In revisiting a moment in time that they had already participated in, they have essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms – a scattering of people, animals, and objects all across time! Our team must find a way to return all the anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart. But before our Legends can jump back into action, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question. With the Time Bureau effectively the new sheriffs in town, the Legends disband – until Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers one of them in the middle of his well-deserved vacation in Aruba. Seeing this as an opportunity to continue their time travelling heroics, Sara (Caity Lotz) wastes no time in getting the Legends back together.
We reunite with billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), the unconventional historian-turned-superhero Nick Heywood (Nick Zano), and Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm. Once reunited, the Legends will challenge the Time Bureau's authority over the timeline and insist that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau's capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends. Based on the characters from DC, DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti ('Arrow,' 'The Flash,' 'Supergirl'), Marc Guggenheim ('Arrow,' 'Trollhunters,' 'Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters'), Andrew Kreisberg ('Arrow,' 'The Flash,' 'Eli Stone,' 'Warehouse 13'), Phil Klemmer ('The Tomorrow People,' 'Chuck') and Sarah Schechter ('Arrow,' 'The Flash')
The first season of RIVERDALE found our characters reeling from the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. For many who had seen their home as perfect, safe, and innocent, the investigation into Jason's murder peeled back the layers of their hometown to reveal a place bubbling over with secrets, mysteries, and scandals. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), for instance, grew from a sweet, all-American kid into a young man acutely aware of the darker side of life – he broke his best friend's heart, had a forbidden relationship with his music teacher, and grappled with whether he wanted to follow in his dad's salt-of-the-earth footsteps.
On the positive side, Archie repaired his friendship with Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse), found some success as a musician – thanks in part to Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) and her band, the Pussycats – and found a new romantic interest in femme fatale Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes). New to town, Veronica spent the season trying to atone for her 'bad girl' past, all the while wrestling with her beloved father's criminal legacy – and contending with a mother, Hermione (Marisol Nichols), who might not be as innocent as she claimed. Veronica became fast-friends with Archie's girl-next-door neighbor, Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), who did some growing up of her own this season. After Archie's rejection, Betty threw herself into running the school paper, 'The Blue and Gold,' where she discovered a better romantic match in sardonic outsider Jughead. Together, they tracked down Betty's sister Polly (guest star Tiera Skovbye), who had been sent away by their overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick). Under the guise of writing for the school paper, Betty and Jughead investigated Jason Blossom's death – which led to them discover that Jughead's father – FP Jones (guest star Skeet Ulrich) – was involved with covering up Jason's murder.
Meanwhile, Jason's twin sister Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) ruled the school as Riverdale High's venomous, merciless Red Queen – until she learned the true identity of Jason's killer. As the town breathed a collective sigh of relief that Jason's killer had been found out, another terrible crime occurred, in a space that had been considered one of the town's safest, most innocent places. If Jason Blossom's murder revealed the slimy underbelly beneath Riverdale's surface, as we enter Season Two, the shooting of Fred Andrews threatens to plunge the entire town into utter darkness. Based on the characters from Archie Comics, RIVERDALE is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, in association with Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ('Supergirl,' 'Glee'), Greg Berlanti ('Arrow,' 'The Flash,' 'Supergirl,' 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow'), Sarah Schechter ('Arrow,' 'The Flash,' 'Supergirl,' 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow') and Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics).
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his 'family'. Based on the characters from DC, ARROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti ('The Flash,' 'Supergirl'), Marc Guggenheim ('DC's Legends of Tomorrow,' 'Eli Stone'), Wendy Mericle ('Desperate Housewives,' 'Eli Stone'), Andrew Kreisberg ('The Flash,' 'Eli Stone,' 'Warehouse 13') and Sarah Schechter ('The Flash,' 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow').
Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) is a man wrestling with a secret. As the father of two daughters and principal of a charter high school that also serves as a safe haven for young people in a New Orleans neighborhood overrun by gang violence, he is a hero to his community. Nine years ago, Pierce was a hero of a different sort. Gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, he used those powers to keep his hometown streets safe as the masked vigilante Black Lightning.
However, after too many nights with his life on the line, and seeing the effects of the damage and loss that his alter ego was inflicting on his family, he left his Super Hero days behind and settled into being a principal and a dad. Choosing to help his city without using his superpowers, he watched his daughters Anissa (Nafessa Williams) and Jennifer (China Anne McClain) grow into strong young women, even though his marriage to their mother, Lynn (Christine Adams), suffered. Almost a decade later, Pierce's crime-fighting days are long behind himor so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, and those he cares about in the crosshairs of the menacing local gang The One Hundred, Black Lightning returns – to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community.
Based on the characters from DC, BLACK LIGHTNING is from Berlanti Productions and Akil Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti ('Arrow,' 'The Flash'), Salim Akil & Mara Brock Akil ('Being Mary Jane,' 'The Game,' 'Girlfriends'), and Sarah Schechter ('Arrow,' 'The Flash'). The Black Lightning character was created by Tony Isabella with Trevor Von Eeden.
Olivia 'Liv' Moore (Rose McIver) was a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who had her life path completely mapped outuntil the night she attended a party that unexpectedly turned into a zombie feeding frenzy. As one of the newly undead, Liv is doing her best to blend in and look as human as possible. Based upon characters created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred, and published by DC Entertainment's Vertigo, iZOMBIE is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Spondoolie Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Rob Thomas ('Veronica Mars,' 'Party Down,' 'Cupid'), Diane Ruggiero-Wright ('Veronica Mars,' 'The Ex List,' 'That's Life'), Danielle Stokdyk ('Veronica Mars,' 'Party Down,' 'Cupid') and Dan Etheridge ('The Carrie Diaries,' 'Veronica Mars,' 'Party Down').

King Evil!
Stuck behind the Kult Creations table at the recent Glasgow Comic Con I didn't really have time to look at many other stalls or grab many small press comics. But on the next table along was small press writer/artist Curt Sibling and I was lucky enough to get myself a copy of his 'King Evil – Crusaders' comic. This A5 self-contained comic features the adventures of a group of soldiers of fortune in a tongue and cheek, sword and sorcery style. With 28 black and white pages plus a colour cover, this has more light-hearted gore and mayhem than you can shake your sword at. Curt's art reminded me very much of American underground comic art of the 60s and 70s in a scratchy, but detailed style. It also has shades of Pini's art on 'Elfquest or Bryan Talbot's art with a pleasingly solid slant of it's own. Eyeballs fly and heads roll with the joyful accompaniment of sound effects like 'SLAY!', 'SKUNCH!' and 'KERSH!'. The five main characters define themselves with wonderfully self-obsessed pronouncements and terrific comedy energy is added by a brilliantly dippy bunch of semi-intelligent lizards. The whole thing is wrapped up in a stylishly glossy Alex Ronald cover. You can grab yourself at copy from: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/kurtzibling

I don't know where I'll draw the line with this. What'll remain private and what I'll post to the world at large as there have been myriad instances where what you write in a 'blog comes back to either haunt or taunt you.
I'm not too interested in trying to save the world, my last name in not Quixote. My desire is to vent and/or give a deeper explanation to comments I might make on other 'blogs. (I'm going to stop using an apostrophe in front of blog like I do with 'phone. "Blogs", is a word in and of itself.) So, instead of referencing to a blog that's not integrated into, "Blogtopia"(Yes, Skippy PBUH coined that term!), I decided it'd be easier to do so here, on Blogger.

It doesn't take much to draw dissent. Posting on a public utility is different from graffiti in that nobody is forcing people to look. I think the concept of public discourse is greatly hindered more by the fact that most people pass on by without encouraging a person when a rejoinder is so simple.
I use WordPress which includes a comment tracking feature of late. I still have an installation of CoComment which works across platforms. Even though I'm tracking an increasing number of daily hits they are usually silent passers-by : it gets to be rather like shouting into the fog.

Sausages with Garden Vegetables
Last weekend we (my husband and I) were making homemade sausages. We were cooking our hopefully delicious sausages on the grill and … overcooked them. The meat was not as juicy as it should be. I served the first batch with my one-minute tomato sauce, which improved their taste, so we still could enjoy the sausages.
But what to do with the rest of overcooked sausages? The answer came up immediately. The sausages definitely need to be simmered in some sauce for the meat to absorb its juices. And what could be better than tomato sauce and seasonal vegetables!
Frankly, it is not necessary to wait until you have the dry-tough sausage situation – the dish turned out so tasty that it could be in a regular family menu. The sausages with garden vegetables are very easy to prepare. The dish is an ideal to be served for busy weeknights.
Mashed potatoes, couscous, rice, or pasta could be added to make a wonderful delicious meal.
A good slice of toasted Italian bread or ciabatta will also be great here.
Sausages with Garden Vegetables
4 servings
- 1 medium onion
- 5-6 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 carrots
- 1 bell pepper
- 5-6 oz (150-175 g) green beans
- 1 zucchini or/and yellow squash (I used mixture of zucchini and patty pans)
- 2-3 tomatoes or 1 can (14 oz/ 400 g) canned tomatoes in their own juice
- 1 tbsp tomato paste (optional)
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 3-4 thyme sprigs
- 4-6 oregano leaves
- 4 cooked sausages to your liking, Italian, bratwurst, chorizo, andouille, etc. (12 oz/300-400 g), cut in half or into 4 pieces
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
Cut the vegetables into large bite size chunks. Cut off the ends of the green beans and cut the long beans in half. Coarsely chop the garlic.
In the deep and wide pan heat the olive oil.
Add the onion and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Onions should start to change their color.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the red wine vinegar and deglaze for 1 minute.
Add the carrots and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the bell pepper and cook for 1 minute.
Add the green beans and cook for 1 minute.
Add the zucchini or squash, tomatoes with their juices, tomato paste (if using), bay leaf, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and the sausages. Stir, add ¼ cup of water (if needed), bring to a boil, cover and cook over low heat for about 7-10 minutes or until the vegetables are ready.
Cook with pleasure!

As the sponsor of the Keynote Oncology Clinical Trials, Merck is passionate about improving health. We are committed to accelerating every step in the journey in our quest to bring treatment options to people with cancer.
Pembrolizumab is an investigational immunotherapy that may help the body's immune system attack cancer cells. When a cancer cell binds to an immune cell, the immune cell can't do its job. These trials want to see if pembrolizumab can block cancer cells from binding with immune cells to help allow the immune cells to work properly.
Participating in a clinical trial is an important decision. Anyone participating in a trial should know as much as possible about what is being studied, what risks are involved and what potential benefits may be gained before deciding to enroll. If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, please talk to your doctor first.
You can also call our clinical trial information center at 1-888-577-8839 to learn more.
|Trial Description
|Keynote Trial
|First-line Esophageal Carcinoma Study With Chemo vs. Chemo Plus Pembrolizumab
|Esophageal Neoplasms
|Phase 3
|Study of Pembrolizumab in Previously-Treated Participants With Advanced Carcinoma of the Esophagus or Esophagogastric Junction
|Phase 2
|Active, not recruiting
|Study of Pembrolizumab Versus Investigator's Choice Standard Therapy for Participants With Advanced Esophageal/Esophagogastric Junction Carcinoma That Progressed After First-Line Therapy

One of the most important facets of my job is listening to parents and students. Some weeks I receive as many as one call a day. Other weeks, I don't get any calls. One call this week stood out and I share it with you to illustrate a point.
The parent began by saying she was quite concerned with her son's grade (an F) in a core class. The parent expressed serious reservations about the boy's performance in the class and shared information with me that the child had told her about the teacher and class. She felt the teacher was targeting her son and said she was considering asking to have him moved to another teacher. I listened and then asked "Have you visited with the teacher about your concerns?" The mother allowed as how she had not because she believed her child's statement about his grades and other issues. I asked if she wanted me to meet with the teacher. "No but you can have her call me if she wants to," she replied. I passed the message along to the teacher who promptly called the mother.
Lo and behold, the child had not told the mother the entire story. The child had a B, not an F. And the other concerns the mother had heard about were also not as bad as the child had led his mom to believe. In the end, the parent and teacher agreed to work closely together to help the boy succeed. A partnership was forged for the benefit of the child. Thank heavens the mother didn't just rely on adolescent misinformation but had the gumption to call me and complain. And thank goodness the wise teacher was courageous enough to call an unhappy parent and respond to her concerns. The moral: don't believe everything you hear and if something sounds funny or weird or wrong, call me or call the teacher and check it out.
On an unrelated note, we removed an unwelcome visitor from Taylor this week. This fellow had taken up residence under one of our portables. And when he was removed on Tuesday, he made a real stink! Can you guess who it was? Yep, a skunk.

Parent concerns and a stinky visitor

Coach Jim Grobe did not accomplish everything he set out to do at Baylor this year, he said.
But he also wasn't hired to just win football games.

Former coach Art Briles was fired in May after eight seasons and an investigation into his mishandling of sexual assault cases involving Baylor players. Enter Grobe, who had been retired from coaching for two years. He was brought in as a well-respected leader after coaching stops at Ohio and Wake Forest.
Grobe was named "acting head coach" three days after Briles was ousted, a seemingly thankless job, a temporary post at a school embroiled in scandal. After winning the first six games this season, the Bears have lost six straight.
"I wish we could have stayed more focused on football. Wish I'd been a better buffer, and I don't want to lose football games, so I didn't get done all I'd hoped," Grobe said.
There was speculation as to whether Baylor would even accept a bowl invitation, but the Bears did and will face Boise State on Tuesday in the Cactus Bowl in Phoenix (8:15 p.m., ESPN).
Grobe, 64, goes back into retirement after the game, and Baylor will have a new coach next season in Matt Rhule, who led Temple to back-to-back 10-win seasons the past two years.
"It just shows what kind of a guy coach Grobe is," Baylor senior wide receiver Lynx Hawthorne said. "Not many people want to come in and have to help fix something they had nothing to do with. What he did was hold us accountable, be that figure that a lot of guys were looking for. He's an incredible person. I love him to death. We're able to function as a football team, which is why he came."
With a fragile campus environment, and with Rhule not hired until Dec. 6, Baylor's recruiting has been a massive struggle. The staff has focused on coaching, knowing none of them likely will return next season. The Bears have one known verbal commitment. By comparison, Boise State has at least 16. Grobe said the hiring of Rhule was a "a sense of relief."
"Probably one of the most unique situations in college football that you'll ever see," Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. "I think (Grobe) did a heck of a job, and I think not many people would step up and be in the role he decided to be in. As far as a coach goes, you admire it and what he's done there."
When Baylor needed a head coach to help keep the program from falling off the tracks, it relied on the school's all-time winningest coach, Grant Teaff, the executive director of the American Football Coaches Association. Grobe, who went 110-115-1 from 1995-2013 at Ohio and Wake Forest, had previously run the AFCA's ethics committee.
"It felt like a calling, to come and help after Grant called me," Grobe said. "Coaches don't want distractions, and it has affected us on the field for sure. But it's been an honor. I've got 100 new sons."
It was important for Baylor to find someone outside the program to lead the team. Briles, Athletic Director Ian McCaw and President Ken Starr were either fired or resigned this summer.
One player, running back Devin Chafin, was kicked off the team in June after ESPN uncovered a report of him assaulting a woman in 2014. Five other players have been investigated for cases involving violence against women, including Boise State transfer Sam Ukwuachu, who was convicted of sexual assault and served jail time last year.
"He didn't have much to do, so I'm sure he liked the challenge," senior linebacker Avaion Edwards said of Grobe. "He held things together. He knew what happened weren't involving the guys on this team now. I think he helped show we have good people here."
Though it has not been anything resembling a smooth ride — Baylor all-time leading rusher Shock Linwood has opted not to play in the Cactus Bowl to focus on his NFL future — Grobe has made sure those who remain try to maintain Baylor's recent successes on the football field.
Harsin said he has not seen the Bears play less hard during the losing streak.
"I just had to keep them pulling on the same end of the rope," Grobe said. "It's been a tough go of it, but I'm looking forward to having one more game with these kids."

So how do you know what size generator you will need?
Wattage is the amount of power that is required to operate an electrical appliance or device, expressed in watts or kilowatts.
Startup Requirements vs. Running Power. Many appliances with a motor or compressor, such as your refrigerator or air conditioner, require as much as three times more electricity to start up than they do to continue running. Your generator will need to be able to accommodate this startup surge of power.
Determining Wattage Requirements. To gauge what size generator you will need, you'll need to decide which devices in your home you'll want to power during an outage, and what their startup requirements are. It is possible to do the measuring yourself, but for a precise, accurate measurement, hire an electrician. This way you can be sure it's done right, and more importantly, done safely.
What Size Generator to Buy. Once you (or your electrician) have figured out the startup requirements for your desired appliances and equipment, you'll have an idea of what size generator to look at. It's a good idea to add about 20% to your number as to avoid overloading your generator and give you room to add a few small appliances, because you might decide that you just have to blow dry your hair during the next power outage.
Don't Get Left in the Dark. The right size generator should provide just enough wattage to operate your essential equipment. Too few watts and you can overwork the generator, damaging anything plugged into it. Too many and you will waste money.
To determine which Standby Generator best meets your needsplease call, we will gladly answer any questions or offer support in findingthe right person.

Is your apartment starting to feel like the 6 train at rush hour? Many other New Yorkers are feeling that way, too. A new report from the New York City Comptroller's office confirms that New York City apartments are getting more crowded.
"Nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers now living in a crowded or severely crowded home," comptroller Scott Stringer said in a release. "In response, the city must elevate crowding as a key housing priority to be addressed, while at the same time creating more affordable housing," he said.
The report, flagged by CityLab, breaks the problem down into two sections: "crowded dwellings," aka units with more than one person per room; and "severely crowded dwellings," which are described as units with more than 1.5 persons per room.
Getting more crowded
The percentage of apartments being described as "crowded dwellings" increased from 7.6 percent in 2005 to 8.8 percent in 2013—a 16 percent jump. Interestingly, the number of apartments that are "severely crowded" has gone up by much more—almost 45 percent in the same time period.
And it seems the very definition of a studio apartment is changing. By 2013, the number of studios that house more than two people increased by 365 percent (from 2.9 percent to 13.5 percent).
The numbers, broken down by borough, are sobering
Broken down by borough, Brooklyn has seen the largest increase in apartment overcrowding: a 35 percent increase in crowded units from 2005 to 2013 (now, over 10 percent of Brooklyn apartments are overcrowded). The Bronx still has the most overcrowding—12.4 percent of its apartments are overcrowded.
Demographics are changing
And it's not just low-income New Yorkers who are squeezing in. The average household income for people living in crowded households increased by 2.7 percent between 2005 and 2013; the median rent, meanwhile, increased 12.8 percent. That means that rents have increased more than wages.
But the rules for household sharing aren't always cut-and-dry
Landlords can, and do, evict tenants for overcrowding. "There are laws, regulation, and most leases, which restrict how many people can live in an apartment at once,'" says Sam Himmelstein, a partner at Himmelstein, McConnell, Gribben, Donoghue & Joseph in Manhattan. "Almost all leases restrict occupancy to tenant and tenant's immediate family. Plus, he says, "many regulations governing various forms of subsidized housing have occupancy restrictions."
But it's not always so clear cut. "Despite that, New York has the Roommate Law, which allows unrelated roommates in certain circumstances."
And room-to-person ratio doesn't tell the whole story
Sarah Watson, deputy director of the Citizens Housing Planning Council noted that "extreme crowding is still in very low numbers ... so any growth seems proportionally large." And there are some nuances when it comes to apartment crowding calculations, she says.
For one thing: They "do not take into account the size of a unit. A 'studio' for instance could be huge and fit a large household in it with clever configurations. It also does not take into account cultural choices about families living together, i.e. they may favor children sharing bedrooms, or adult family members sharing."
The overcrowding issue is of concern on a person-to-room basis, yes, but square footage matters, too. Take, for instance, this one-bedroom that has a "living room" that looks like it can barely fit a chair.
Watson says it's important to understand the household configurations of these crowded households, "i.e. are there room-mates? Multiple children? Adult relatives? When did they get added to the household and why? How are they really sharing/ dividing the spaces? In order to get to grips with any nuance about the real issues at hand and possible solutions," she says.
Does the new communal living trend actually make NYC more affordable?

Eating: Not much has changed. Breakfast is definitely his best meal of the day. He always has a banana along with some sort of carb (we rotate between oatmeal, pancakes or waffles) and/or some yogurt. Lunch usually is peanut butter and jelly, chicken nuggets, or leftovers. I will usually cut up some sweet potatoes for him to have, along with a fruit/veggie pouch. We made a quesadilla for him the other day and he loved it, so that will be added to the rotation for sure! Dinner is Finn's least favorite and any amount of food consumed is considered a success. We try really hard to give him what we are eating and have found that he loves things like edamame!! How funny! I am just crossing all of my fingers and toes that he isn't a picky eater!
Sleeping: Guys, am I ever going to consistently sleep through the night? Really though. I'm beginning to doubt it. For every night that we sleep through the night, we get at least one night of Finn waking up. All it takes is for me to go in, rub his back and say I love you before he settles down and goes to sleep, but I just don't understand why it's happening. We are back to two naps after unsuccessfully trying to switch to one, which is fine with me. It makes it a little difficult to do anything that lasts more than a couple of hours, but I like having a break in the morning and afternoon, so I'm not in a rush.
Noises: Lots of babbling and when you ask him to say things like "Dog" or "dada" he will say "dah" or "dada" but I'm not sure there is meaning behind it.
Milestones: I think the biggest milestone this month is that he is really understanding what we are saying. For example, if he is missing his sock and you say to him "Your sock is missing!" he will usually point to the foot that is without a sock. It's so fun to see him understanding, even though he can't respond back yet.
Likes and Dislikes: His biggest like this month is definitely the dogs. God bless them because they have the patience of saints. He is constantly trying to pet them, play with their toys, and just generally doing anything that would involve the dogs. He also loves Wheels on the Bus, which is fun for both of us. Dislikes include being told no, the hours of 4:00pm-6:00pm, and having his diaper changed.
Nicknames: Finn, Finny, Buddy Bear, Finny Bear, Pooper (due to the bath tub incidents)
Clothing Size: 18 month for everything! I think the onesies and the tshirts are a little small, but the pants fit perfectly.
Diaper Size: 4 still.
Height: Probably 31ish inches since his pants seem to fit a little bit better.
Weight: A lot. hahahaha. I don't actually know but he's heavy!
Travel: None! We have been homebodies this month and stayed in Bremerton.
Teeth: Still seven although I feel like there are a few just about to break through.
Oh Finn, you may drive me crazy some days, but you also make me happier than I ever thought possible. Your laugh when I tickle you makes me smile, your love for other creatures (Especially Anchor and Beacon) makes my heart melt, and your smile when your dad or I walk in the room makes me fall in love with you even more. You are a special little guy, Finnegan, and I am so lucky to call you mine.

What Foods Should I Avoid When Wearing Braces?
Even though braces are durable, they're also very delicate, especially when it comes to eating. The majority of braces are made up of parts that include stainless steel brackets (attached to teeth by using dental glue, archwires (connect brackets, gently guiding the teeth into place) and rubber bands to hold archwires to the brackets. For the most part, braces are extremely sturdy, however, some foods can potentially separate the brackets can cause damage to the teeth. If they're treated with care, including cleaning them properly, braces can will deliver the perfect smile.
Following are a few foods (and non-food items) that you should avoid when wearing braces.
Chewy, Stick to Your Teeth and Braces, Foods
Chewy, sticky foods like candies and gum can cause a lot of damage to braces. Besides being full of bacteria producing sugar and leaving a residue on braces that can be difficult clean, hard candy and gum are sticky enough to pull your braces away from the teeth. This will call for an appointment with your orthodontist for reattachment and can end up slowing down the treatment process. Basically, it's best to just avoid sticky/chewy foods altogether.
Hard Foods
Some foods are just too tough to be eaten with braces. These include popcorn, nuts, hard breads and candies. Biting into these foods can separate or bend brackets away from your teeth, and popcorn can end up lodged in the gums under the bracket, which can severely irritate the gums.
Foods You Shouldn't Eat using the fronts of Your Teeth
Apples, corn on the cob, spare ribs, celery, carrot and chicken wings are good examples of foods that you shouldn't eat with the front of your teeth with braces. Instead, cut them into small pieces and/or remove them from the hard parts (bone, etc.) if you plan on eating them. Small pieces of food can be chewed using your molars, keeping the braces in place.
Sugar Laden Foods
Itís always a hoof idea to refrain from sugary foods as often as possible, but it is especially important if you're wearing braces. Besides the sticky candy and gum mentioned above, you'd be surprised at how many foods are loaded with sugar, including sodas and sauces like teriyaki sauce as well as snacks like, ice cream and more, all having the potential of causing heavy plaque buildup. If plaque buildup isnít dealt with soon after consumption, it can cause white spots on the teeth, swollen gums and decay.
Non-Food Habit Problems
If you're wearing braces, now's the time to beat old habits like chewing, not only on your nails, but pen caps and other non-edible things. These kinds of hard objects can quickly bend and/or break your brackets and even damage your teeth if you don't wear braces.
Besides common sense, if you ever have questions regarding whether a specific food is safe to eat with braces, contact your orthodontist. It's their goal to help you not only achieve, but maintain a beautiful smile.

Oats are one of my favorite ingredients since they are so versatile and nutritious! Oats are a good source of soluble fiber, and studies have also linked oats consumption to lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
When most people think of oats, they think of oatmeal for breakfast. However, one of my favorite recipes using oats, happens to be for chicken and turkey burgers. Have you ever wondered how you could make these burgers healthier and are you thinking how does she incorporate oats? Try replacing the breadcrumbs in your burger recipes with oats to add fiber and save on calories while holding your burgers together.
|Prep Time
|30 min
|Cook Time
|25 min
- 1 lbs Ground Turkey or Chicken Breast
- 1 egg
- .5 cups Oats Use a food processor to chop them if you want to hide them in the burger. I don't mind the appearance of oats so to save time I usually leave them as is.
- .25 cup Parmesan cheese Can omit for dairy allergies
- .5 tsp Garlic Powder
- .5 tsp Thyme
- Together in a bowl mix all of the ingredients together and form into 4 burgers. Bake on 350°F for about 20-25 minutes or cook them on your grill at your next barbeque and enjoy!
Turkey and chicken burgers are great to have on hand to help with weekly meal preparation, as they are an easy protein to add to your lunch or dinner for the week. My favorite ways to serve these burgers are on whole-wheat buns with melted swiss cheese and ¼ avocado or added to a salad with ½ of a baked sweet potato, avocado and broccoli. The protein in these burgers also makes for great post workout exercise recovery!

Tumble Bug!!!
I think she was trying to figure what exactly they were doing.
It didn't take long for her to come out of her shell though! After they broke them up into their groups and headed to separate stations she got really excited and jumped right in, doing what her teacher told her to do.

Quarter of a Century & Prayer Requests
As of last Friday, February 26th, I am now 25 years old. I know that's really not old, but I'm only 5 years away from being 30. That seems crazy to me, but then again my baby girl just turned 3, and that seems even crazier! It was a fairly low key birthday. Grace and I hung out at home all morning, and after I worked out we got around and picked Corey up from school and met Mom up at the mall so I could get Grace's Easter dress! I found the perfect one at Gymboree and Mom had a coupon so I was waiting for a time that we could go together. Of course, when we go in that store Mom always finds other stuff that Grace needs!! She ended up with a few precious new things!
After the mall Grace went with Mom and Corey and I came home. Gene had made it home from work just before we got here, and after we were all ready we headed up to Rogers to Mad Pizza to meet some friends for dinner! Mom and Dad came and brought Grace to eat with us.

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are over 100 different types of HPV that affect the skin on various parts of the body. Of these, over 40 types affect the genital area. HPV is very common, so most sexually active men and women are likely to have been exposed.
What are the symptoms?
Most people that are infected with HPV do not have any obvious symptoms. Only a small number develop visible warts, usually two to three months after infection but the warts can appear between three weeks and many years later. Genital warts can appear on the inside or outside of the vagina, on the cervix (neck of the womb), the penis, scrotum and the anus. They are usually painless. The warts may look like white flat patches or may be bumpy, like cauliflower.
How are genital warts spread?
The virus that causes genital warts is spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, during sexual touching and unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex with someone who has HPV. As there are often no signs of genital warts the virus can be spread to others without knowing it.
How are genital warts diagnosed?
Genital warts can be diagnosed by your health-care provider based on your medical history and a physical examination. If warts are suspected inside the penis, vagina or cervix, additional tests can be arranged. If you have genital warts, you may be tested for other sexually transmitted infections.
Who is at risk of genital warts infection?
You are more likely to get genital warts if you:
- Have sex or intimate skin-to skin contact with someone who has genital warts;
- Don't use condoms or dental dams every time you have sex (vaginal, oral, or anal);
- Have more than one sex partner or your partner has had multiple sex partners;
- Start sexual activity at an early age;
- Have a weakened immune system that makes it hard for your body to fight off infection
How can you prevent getting genital warts?
Condoms can reduce some of the risk of getting HPV and genital warts but they will not always cover the infected area as the virus can be anywhere on the genital or anal area. Use of dental dams during oral sex can reduce the risk of HPV infection.
Find out more on how to prevent genital warts and other sexually transmitted infections. HPV vaccines can help protect against some of the types of HPV that cause cervical and other cancers, and genital warts.
How are genital warts treated?
Speak with your health-care provider about whether or not your genital warts should be treated and which would be the best treatment for you. Treatments for genital warts can include prescription creams or liquids that are applied directly to the warts, freezing, laser or surgery. Treatment is usually effective, but you may need a number of treatments and warts can come back even after they look like they have completely gone. If you are pregnant or think you might be, tell your health-care provider, so you can use a treatment that won't be harmful to you or your baby.
Important: Do not use non-prescription wart removal products to treat genital warts. These products are not intended to be used in the genital area and may cause serious burning.

I posted this on the IDS SIG yesterday. Here is it again in case you missed it and are interested.
The IIUG2014 CPC met at the JW Marriott in Miami, FL this weekend to prepare for the 2014 conference. I thought I would give an update on where we are at and pass along my experience with the city and hotel since this will be a new location for a lot of us in April.
The hotel is beyond nice. The place is 98.34% Marble and Mahogany and smells terrific. Yes, it is weird to compliment a hotel on their smell, but I thought this to myself each time I entered the lobby. It is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in and unless I hit the Florida Lotto, it will be the nicest hotel I ever stay in. The hotel is not undergoing a remodel nor are they planning on any major construction during the conference (for those that attended the Overland Park conferences, this is important).
In terms of number of rooms, the hotel is smaller than we are used to. It is very possible that we will have more conference attendees than we have rooms. If you know you will attend IIUG2014 you should register ASAP to guarantee a room in the hotel and take advantage of the Early Registration pricing. We do not have an overflow hotel and other hotels in the area are at least $50 more per ni…

it's worth damaging your liver if you're fine taking 10 years off your life. that's a fact... drugs that are hard on you will take years off your life.
if you have love, support, and drive... don't take anything... because dr's don't know how bad you'll progress.
happiness, lack of stress and human experience is what you need.
not to make the makers of tysabri lots of money.

A month before this current liver scare there was a notice about melanoma. I took Tysabri the first time around - before it was yanked for PML. I crashed. My body and my mind decided never to communicate with one another and my IQ dropped in half. At least it felt that way. Now there is this liver scare. I've been on Tysabri this time around for 14 months. My liver is fine as is my skin. My brain is in top shape and my body is slowly recovering. I don't want to stop Tysabri as I don't want to lose what has taken so long to recover. Ultimately, as you know, it's your choice whether to stay on it. If you want to talk, let me know. Elizabeth

Came across your post and wanted to say that I think the liver issue is not really news. A lot of biologic medications have this risk. It's a small risk and certainly worth keeping an eye on, but I wouldn't stress about it too much.

These are the issues I've struggled with since starting Avonex in July 06... I switched to Copaxone b/c I couldn't tolerate the Avonex (the flu stuff, plus depression) and now I'm struggling with depression on the Copaxone too. Tysabri next? I'm not sure. It also has depression as a side effect.
So the question is, are you getting enough from the Tysabri to make the side effects and/or risk worth it?
Ultimately, it's a choice you have to make, and one only you can make. I try to remind my mother of that, but she is having none of it. Those who are not on the medications just don't seem to get it.
Good luck!

Please welcome Spanish label's Uterqüe autumn-winter collection's campaign. New season offers simplicity, straight lines, ethereal and loose silhouettes, which are perfect for daily wear. Here you will find oversized jackets, oversized pockets and sleeves. Well, I personally felt in love with those plain fabrics that look comfy and practical. New silhouettes are meant to fit and suit sophisticated women who are self-confident and evoke femininity and classic style. Fashion model Kati Nescher appears in exciting, timelessness and elegant looks. New season is about revolution and aristocracy, as you will find here navy, black and beige color outfits.
Love those beige separates, as you can wear them during daytime for meetings, work and shopping. If you feel more sophisticated, then you can always try on darker hues for special events.
I find this collection a bit conservative, yet there are deep cuts that will keep all attention on you.

How to Choose
The Best Weapon Light for You
By Dan S Defense
In this article we'll look at the reason for owning a self defense weapon light. Then we'll examine the selection process, for the best possible weapon light, for your self defense handgun or home defense handgun. This article will focus on self defense weapon lights.
This means that your self defense handgun of choice must have a rail that will accommodate the weapon light. In most cases, the rail is built into the frame, but in some cases, an operator can opt to add a Dawson rail as an after market item. If your self defense handgun or home defense pistol do not have such a rail, you can still use a light but your needs will be covered in a different article.
Before we look at weapon lights, we need to answer a basic question--why do we need a weapon light on our self defense handgun of choice? Aren't night sights good enough for dealing with issues in low light or no light? Well, it's a fair question.
The answer is simple. The vast majority of shootings happen in low light or no light. Criminals prefer the stealth of night since it offer good cover for evil deeds. Night sights will allow you to see your sights at night, but they will not offer you any benefit, when it comes to seeing the threat itself. And, as you well know, you must identify the threat to make sure you are going to get good bullet placement, and shoot the right target.
The point of clearly identifying the threat becomes even more critical in home defense scenarios. When the threat enters your home, and poses an imminent danger to your family, you must be able to distinguish the bad guy from a frightened family member.
A weapon light, in both cases, will also offer you a tactical advantage since it will temporarily blind your opponent, killing their night vision and ability to see and kill you. As you can see the reasons for having a weapon light on your self defense or home defense gun, are clear and serious. You need a weapon light because lives could be at risk if you ignore this critical need!
From the need for a weapon light on your self defense handgun, you can see that the light needs to be strong --it must turn a chunk of night into day--to allow you to clearly see the threat and to give you a tactical edge. It must be portable (i.e. mounted) on your self defense handgun to allow you to move around.
In the case of the home defense handgun, a weapon light will leave you with one free hand to open doors or hurry a family member into a safe room. It needs to have sufficient battery life to allow you to search the home, or defend your position in the safe room.
Above all else, your weapon light must be reliable. It must work 100% of the time and you need to trust your light to work every time. A weapon light for self defense must be as reliable as your self defense handgun. You must test it in the range, just as you'd test you self defense handgun--this isn't a toy nor an ornament for your handgun--it is a functional, life saving combat accessory!
Requirements for the best weapon light for your self defense or home defense light:
It must be 100% reliable --it must work each and every time you need it to work.
It must be bright --it must turn a chunk of night into day.
It must be tough --it will get banged against walls and it will must survive the punishment of your gun's recoil.
it must stick like glue--it needs to be snug on your self defense handgun and it mustn't fall off during shooting.
It must be easy to activate --you need to be able to turn it on even under sever stress --simple is better.
This means that a good weapon light is not going to be cheap. In fact, it will be expensive and it will be worth every penny, if you ever need it to save your life, or the life of a loved one. Cheap plastic lights are cute for kids but not so cute when your life depends on them, and they fail.
Now that we covered the hard stuff, we can look at some options that you may want to take a good look at. I'll start with my weapon light of choice which is the Surefire X300. These lights are rock solid and come with a few adopters to fit most self defense handgun rails. You can get a great holster from Blade-Tech and carry it with your self-defense handgun of choice.
Another brand I like and own is the Streamlight TLR-1 C4 LED light. I carry that light on my S&W Thunder Ranch revolver and feel very safe with it. Another strong brand is Blackhawk and they have an interesting weapon light called the Xiphos NT. All of these are military grade weapon lights that will keep your home defense handgun or self defense handgun fir for usage at night.
I recommend you read more about each brand, keeping in mind the point we covered as you seek the best weapon light for your self defense handgun or home defense handgun.
Until next time, stay safe by being alert!

"The study conducted by the Analytical Center looked at commuter trains in the Moscow urban agglomeration. The key finding is that two thrids of the people using them regard their fares as adequate," Svetlana Ganeeva, the Deputy Head of the Analytical Center, is quoted as saying by TASS at the Passenger Transport Forum 2016.
Two out of three residents of Moscow and Moscow Oblast think commuter train fares are adequate
Ms. Ganeeva presented the findings of the survey at the forum: 37% of the respondents believe that the fares charged for commuter train trips match the quality of service; 29% are sure the rides are more expensive than the quality of service; 20% say the fares are much higher than the level of quality provided and that at this level of prices both the speed and the level of service must be higher, while 14% of the respondents say the quality of service provided for the price is so bad that they can justify free riders.
Ms. Ganeeva also noted that one of the more useful findings of the survey was the need for ticket vending machines (TVMs) on the platforms as 70% of all passengers and 40% of regular passengers that use the commuter trains at least 2-4 times a week buy single-ride tickets every time they go on a commuter train. Express commuter trains with better amenities sound like a promising idea as 86% of the respondents said they would be willing to pay extra to ride on such trains.
The study was conducted by the Analytical Center in late 2015 - early 2016. The target population included residents of Moscow and Moscow Oblast. The goal was to find out the degree to which commuter train passengers were satisfied with the level of service they were getting and find out what improvements they would want to see and whether they would be willing to pay extra for such improvements.

Summer is just around the corner. What comes first to your mind when you hear the word summer? I know! I know! It's swimming, isn't it? It's great to go to beach but if you live in the City like us, it's hard to go to the beach often specially if you live far from the sea. But don't worry! Swimming pool could be the best alternate for that. Swimming in the yard is cheaper, safer and more fun! So, if you're looking for affordable and quality Pool Supplies, check them out online.
To make your pool last longer, I recommend you to use the Pool Floor Padding to protect pool liner from sharp objects, rocks, roots and grass.
Well, I suddenly remember the dirty swimming pool in the recreation forest that we've been yesterday. It has lots of algae. And I think the winter season made the swimming pool worst. I wish they put the Winter Pool Covers. But it seems like they don't have one so the pool was ruined. Don't let that happen to your pool, get a winter pool cover that will guarantee you from 8 to 15 years.
