Help! I Wrecked My House Season 3: Details We Know So Far

By Joey Keogh/June 10, 2022 10:52 am EST
Jasmine Roth is a fan-favorite HGTV stalwart thanks to her beloved show "Hidden Potential," which debuted in 2017. The hit reality show followed the California-based Roth as she turned basic suburban properties into chic, custom-built dream homes with her keen designer eye and well-honed construction skills. Given the success of "Hidden Potential" — and Roth's popularity with viewers — it made complete sense when she was gifted another show: the hilariously literally titled "Help! I Wrecked My House."
The show, which sees Roth helping desperate homeowners, began airing in 2020, with Season 2 following in quick succession. As Katie Ruttan-Daigle, HGTV's vice president of programming and development, explained, "Jasmine knows how to ease the anxiety homeowners feel when a home improvement project goes wrong." She added, "Her expertise and optimistic presence help every do-it-yourselfer get a much-needed win and fans love to see how renovation mistakes become masterpieces."
In an exclusive interview with the List, Roth shared that her goal for doing the show was to help people understand "what they're capable of and what they should leave to the pros and what they can try to do on their own." Clearly, there's an appetite for such content, and fans are understandably eager for another installment. Here's everything we know about Season 3 of "Help! I Wrecked My House" thus far.
Season 3 of Help! I Wrecked My House is expected to premiere in fall 2022

In January 2022, Jasmine Roth took to Instagram to confirm with curious fans that "Help! I Wrecked My House" was indeed coming back for Season 3. As the lovable host explained, "One of the toughest parts about being in tv is having very little (it's actually zero) control over your next job — never knowing what's coming or if all your hard work will translate to ratings, viewers, and ad sales. It's all the stuff you don't want to think about because it's out of your control, but have to think about because it pays the bills." Thankfully, as Roth acknowledged, fans rallied around the show, resulting in a third season being greenlit.
The "Hidden Potential" breakout described appearing on television and helping people make their houses into dream homes as her "happy place." Thus, Roth raised a glass to the fans alongside "everyone who has wrecked their houses and needs some serious help." HGTV confirmed Season 3 will be 10 episodes long and is expected to drop sometime in fall 2022 (via Discovery). "Jasmine's expertise and upbeat attitude empowers anyone who wants to know which upgrades to handle on their own and which ones require that they call in the pros," Katie Ruttan-Daigle, vice president of programming and development at HGTV, enthused.
In April, Roth posted a behind-the-scenes video of the show being filmed and reiterated how excited she and her crew were to continue with it.
What will Season 3 of Help! I Wrecked My House be about?
As Jasmine Roth told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, the title for "Help! I Wrecked My House" came about very organically. "People kept coming to me and being like, 'Help! I wrecked my house,'" she revealed. "Literally those exact words. It got to the point where myself, and HGTV, we couldn't ignore it." The hit show follows Roth as she helps despairing homeowners who — by their own estimation — have watched too much HGTV and other home improvement DIY videos and gone too far with their own properties as a result. Unfortunately, due to everybody being bored during the pandemic, more people than ever decided to tackle complicated, and frequently dangerous, home renovations.
"Being able to find families, it wasn't really hard," Roth admitted. "A lot of people were in this position." She made it clear, though, that there's nothing aspirational about "Help! I Wrecked My House." As the home renovation expert explained succinctly, "If you're on this show, you did something wrong."
Roth actually put out a call for participants on Instagram in February, encouraging only the most distressed homeowners to come forward. The show films in and around Huntington Beach, CA so wannabe stars need to either live there or in close proximity. Thus, we can reasonably assume that Season 3 will follow the same trajectory, with Roth helping Californians sort out their DIY disasters.
Jasmine Roth also launched a TikTok home renovation miniseries
HGTV's Jasmine Roth is one of the hardest working ladies in the industry. Aside from fronting two hit shows, she also branched out into TikTok. Per People, her new miniseries sees Roth redoing a beachfront condo as a surprise Mother's Day gift. As the reality star gushed, "I am so stoked to share this deeply personal house transformation with HGTV fans because to me, no one is more deserving than my mom."
Roth shared her thoughts on why "Help! I've Wrecked My House" has been so popular. When homeowners have gone too far and don't see any way out, "I can rescue any disaster, have a lot of fun in the process, and make their house their dream home." Roth even filmed Season 1 while heavily pregnant, so she's no stranger to juggling several projects at once.
There's something immensely satisfying about doing "Help! I Wrecked My House" in particular, though. As the home renovation expert told House Beautiful, "If our homes are under construction or not set up to work for us, it hurts our relationships, our bank accounts, our jobs, and even our health." If Roth can help assuage some of that damage, she's happy to do so. And we love nothing more than watching along with her.

Q: Remove trailing zeros and use 6 decimal points in Matlab I wish to utilize som sort of combination of %f and %g in my fprintf. I wish to remove trailing zeros and use 6 decimal points if there are 6 decimals that are non zero. %g removes zeros but here precision does not affect the number of decimal points. What to do?

A: So if this is the behaviour you want:
0.123456789 -> 0.123457 (rounded up at the 6th decimal place)
999.123456789 -> 999.123457 (six decimal places, regardless of the number of significant figures)
1.123000000 -> 1.123 (remove trailing zeros)
then you can use %f:
fprintf('%.6f', number);

A: You can use %.<n>g, where n defines maximal number of digits to be used.
>> fprintf('%.6g\n', 4087.145678);

ACR Board of Directors meet at the Annual Meeting
On Saturday, the ACR Board of Directors met to discuss current and future initiatives that impact the ACR's diverse membership and advance rheumatology.
The board meeting was led by current ACR President Paula Marchetta, MD, MBA, who ends her term at this Annual Meeting. Ellen M. Gravallese, MD, begins her term as ACR President at the Annual Business Meeting today at 1:30 PM in Room A311, Building A in the Georgia World Congress Center. Guests included representatives from the Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA), the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology (PANLAR), the American Medical Association (AMA), the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Annual Meeting Modernization
The board approved a new Education Strategic Plan in February 2019. This bold, transformative vision for education was announced during the Opening Lecture on Saturday. The ACR is pilot testing new educational features during the Annual Meeting, with sneak previews on display in the Exhibit Hall.
New ACR Task Forces Take Shape
The ACR will launch two new task forces in the coming year, Dr. Marchetta said. The Governance Task Force will review ACR governance policies and procedures to address members' needs in a changing healthcare landscape. Co-chairs are Angus Worthing, MD, and Abby Abelson, MD. The Global Strategy Task Force, co-chaired by Evelyn Hsieh, MD, PhD, and Eric Matteson, MD, will shape a cohesive plan to expand the ACR's global footprint and evaluate opportunities for collaboration with international partners.
Online Disclosure Form
Jane Kang, MD, MS, Chair of the Committee on Ethics and Conflict of Interest, shared proposed modifications to the ACR Volunteer Disclosure Form, including conversion to an online form in the 2020 volunteer year using Convey, a global disclosure system. The online disclosure form would simplify the disclosure process for ACR volunteers. The board passed the motion to modify the disclosure form with three amendments.
Gout Guideline
Sindhu Johnson, MD, PhD, incoming Chair of the Committee on Quality Care, led a discussion on the gout clinical practice guideline currently in review. Board feedback will be provided to the guideline authors, with final ACR review scheduled for late February, after journal review.
Foundation Campaign Soars
Abby G. Abelson, MD, President of the Rheumatology Research Foundation, presented updates on the Foundation's Leading Boldly: Transforming Rheumatology campaign to raise $75 million over 60 months. The campaign has reached 76% of its goal, with $57,124,061 raised so far. Since 1985, the Foundation has committed $170 million directly to research and training. Since 2003, the Foundation's funding has yielded a 53% increase in the number of rheumatology fellow graduates. The Foundation has also provided $56.3 million in funding over the past five years. ACR Executive Vice President Steven Echard, CAE, IOM, informed the board that 100% of ACR staff donated to the Leading Boldly campaign prior to the Annual Meeting.
Advocacy Outreach Grows
Top legislative policy priorities in 2019 included step therapy and prior authorizations, said Government Affairs Committee Chair Angus Worthing, MD. To maximize its advocacy efforts, the ACR's new government affairs office in Washington, D.C., recently welcomed a new Director, Regulatory Affairs, and Manager, Advocacy and Political Affairs.
Advocacy efforts yielded important results in 2019, said Colin Edgerton, MD, Chair, Committee on Rheumatologic Care. The CMS Final Rule Summary was amended to include an estimated 15% pay increase for rheumatology, primarily due to increased E/M code reimbursements. The Insurance Subcommittee has sent 33 letters to payers since October 2018 to address coverage issues impacting rheumatologists and their patients.
RheumPAC continues to focus on growing investment and awareness among ACR and ARP members, said Chair Zach Wallace, MD, MSc. So far, 6% of the membership has invested, with a goal of 10%. RheumPAC has launched Access 2020, a two-year campaign on its activities and the importance of investing.
Publications Make Strides
The ACR's three journals expanded their visibility on social media in 2019 with the addition of Social Media Editor Paul Sufka, MD. Arthritis & Rheumatology celebrated its highest Impact Factor score ever in 2018, making it the third-highest ranked rheumatology journal, said Editor in Chief Richard Bucala, MD, PhD. New Editor in Chief Daniel H. Solomon, MD, MPH, takes the helm of A&R in July 2020.
Arthritis Care & Research's Impact Factor also rose in 2018, placing it among the top 10 rheumatology journals, said Editor in Chief Marian T. Hannan, DSc, MPH. AC&R now offers video abstracts and other services to authors, and its search for a new Editor in Chief is in full swing.
ACR Open Rheumatology, the ACR's new open access journal, launched in 2019, and has received more than 200 manuscript submissions so far, said Edward Yelin, PhD, Co-Editor in Chief. Wiley, the journal's publisher, will offer a 20% discount on the article page charge fee for non-member authors presenting abstracts at the 2019 Annual Meeting.
The Rheumatologist newsmagazine continues to grow, with new features and formats to appeal to a wider audience. For the 10th consecutive year, the publication was honored with an APEX award for editorial excellence.
AMA, NIAMS, and NIAID Updates
The ACR will retain two slots on the AMA's House of Delegates, which meets from Nov. 15-19 in San Diego, said Gary L. Bryant, MD, MACR, the ACR's AMA representative. Important resolutions will include private payer and office visit policies, public reporting of pharmacy benefit manager rebates, and patient protections against step therapy protocols.
NIAMS launched a new strategic plan for 2020-2024, Promote the Unexpected, to create an environment to foster new discoveries never before envisioned, said Robert H. Carter, MD, Acting Director.
Researchers working with human fetal tissues (HFT) face new requirements to receive funding, including providing specific justifications for HFT research and information on tissue procurement and costs, said Daniel Rotrosen, MD, Director of NIAID. NIAID's new Innovator Award Pilot Program will fund early-stage investigator applications that propose bold new ideas at $300,000 a year for five years.
The board approved the audited financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year in two formats to meet federal requirements for organizations that receive government funding. The board also approved 271 new ACR members and 123 new ARP members.

Beyonce to work with of Montreal? Maybe, possibly, please?
by Luke Slater December 2nd, 2009
When Beyonce professed her love for - and future desire to channel the energies of - ultimate indie collective of Montreal in an interview with The Guardian the other day, we all took a sharp intake of breath, albeit just the once. This came after her sister, Solange, covered 'Stillness Is The Move', made semi-famous in indie circles by Dirty Projectors. Surprising, but perhaps not entirely bizarre.
"There's so many people I'd like to work with still, but I'd like to maybe go outside of the box. My sister has put me on to bands like Of Montreal and some other different types of artists. I would love to do something like that on my next album."
How long did it take of Montreal's Kevin Barnes to respond? Well, not very long, and so he did. He said, in an interview with Paste Magazine:
"I fell in love with Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love' and, since then, I've always kept an ear out for what she releases."
We all did Kevin, we all did. He added:
"I wasn't that familiar with her Destiny's Child stuff, until Solange played me some of the deep cuts. I was truly blown away by the vocal arrangements/performances. I think most people don't realize what an amazingly great singer Beyonce is. She is so much more than a pop star. There is a reason why she's the most popular and beloved female vocalist of our time. I would be fully psyched to work with her."
So that's that sorted then? No. Well, B's a very busy girl isn't she...but even a one-off song? Please? Do you EVEN CARE?
Here's Solange's cover of 'Stillness Is The Move' to tide you ever until things become a little more, CONCRETE. Think of the crossover potential, guys! I bet she does that wobbly diva thing with her hand when she sings this.

'Doubt'


Summer is here, and a good option to enjoy the sunny days is camping. The time is favorable (open days and dry weather) and there are dozens of beautiful places in Brazil with beaches and waterfalls around to set up camp. However, despite being a super cool program, you need to plan and follow some tips to not pass perrengue and make your trip a real nightmare.
For starters, it is good to know that camping is something for those who like nature, simplicity and adventure. Although today already exists some campsites with more modern bathrooms equipped with electric showers and collectives to kitchens where you can prepare meals, sleep in a tent is not the most comfortable and practical program in the world. Some adverse situations, such as rain, bugs and heat, can happen and you have to be able to cope and even highlight some of them. Climatic oscillations, for example, there's not much way to predict and avoid. But, in the case of insects, a good insect repellent already solves the problem.
First, it is very important to plan the trip and information about camping that you intend to stay. If your intention is to make a trail and camping in a place with no structure (Wild camping), search for the region and take a map. Be very careful and find out if the place is safe. No camp also in places very close to waterfalls and sea, avoiding the possibility of a flood hitting your tent. The ideal is to always set up tents in high places and plans. Also, be sure to look at the trees that are on top of where you plan to allocate your tent too, not to run the risk of a fall on your head while jaca are you there sleeping, for example.
Here are some tips for camping without choke.
-The first thing to think about is in the tent. You need to calculate your ideal size, check the material (if it really is waterproof) and if she does not show any cracks and holes. In a tent for 2 people, for example, only 2 people, without backpacks. Think of it to have the minimum of comfort. And, before you leave home, check if all items are in the box.
-Choose clothes light and comfortable, plus a good coat, if the time turn. Do not overdo it, take just enough not to be carrying a heavy load. The same goes for the personal hygiene products and shoes.
-Line the floor with a tarp, to reduce the chill, isolate the grass or sand and also to protect from rain, avoiding water on your tent. But it is important not to exceed the limits of canvas tent, as this allows the water to drain inside.
– To sleep, lightweight inflatable mattresses or sleeping bags. The former are much more comfortable and protect more of cold from the floor, but occupy a larger space and need to be careful not to drill (in fact, if you take one of those check for tears and holes before you leave home). Already the sleeping bags are smaller, lighter and practical. However, provide comfort. Evaluate the best option for you.
-Choose the direction of entry: this can be the difference between sleeping with a fan or a sauna. Stay tuned to the wind direction and the position of the Sun in the morning.
-If possible, take a cooler to better store the food and drinks. They will be protected from heat, moisture and also animals. Don't take anything that easily, look for salt up lead light, fast and practical foods such as instant noodles, biscuits, fruit and cereal bars. Soy meat is a good option for animal protein and does not need to be stored in styrofoam. To drink, don't forget to take plenty of water is essential: it moisturizes your body and replenishes the fluids you lose during the day.
-Never leave the tent open: in addition to insects, animals can enter and cause a huge upset, as they may be poisonous. If possible, use locks to prevent theft, especially in very full. You have to be very careful with campfires as well: upgrade them at a safe distance from the tent and equipment. Don't give silly!
– Protect everything that can not be exposed to excessive sun, including yourself. Use sunscreen all day and protect objects such as cameras, batteries and cell phones .
– Do not leave garbage and plastic bags in place. They pollute the environment, take years to decompose and can attract insects and animals.
– Wear sneakers! He is the safest footwear for hiking with comfort and practicality.Don't buy a new one to take, since it can cause blisters. Choose a shoe that you already have plenty of comfortable and don't forget to wear them with socks on. If the location of the track is dangerous, prefer to wear galoshes.
-If you are camping in a wild camping, that has no infrastructure, prepare to provide objects as: flashlight or Lantern, stove, knife, small gas canister, lighter or match and awning, in addition to the essential in any kind of camp (like a tent and sleeping bag).
-Make small ditches around your tent, so that they can retain rain water and prevent water in the location you are sleeping.
-A last tip: putting a teaspoon of salt per litre of water in your canteen, you increase the amount of minerals present in your body, allowing greater hydration.
See the site of the Camping Club list with the best-known of Brazil and campgrounds choose your to meet next weekend. Take the family or friends and enjoy!
Follow these tips and has a quiet and unforgettable trip.


Heaven is a place where the Redeemed of the Lord will go after they die. The true Christian lives in tension between the "already" and "not yet" of the Kingdom of God. On one hand, the Kingdom of God is here and now through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. At the moment of Christ's death, He said, "It is finished", which ushered in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is also not yet in that Christ has not yet returned. Christians are to regularly fill their minds with Heaven through the means of Scripture, gathering in the context of the local church as members, under godly qualified leadership, to serve the Lord whole heartedly, and grow in His grace.
With that said, there are lots of people who refuse to worship Jesus. They refuse to believe in the Savior who bled, and died for them. Even so there are still people who have not yet heard the gospel. There is still a Savior and Lord who has bled, died, rose again, and serves as our exalted High Priest, Mediator, Intercessor, and Advocate before the Father in Jesus. King Jesus is returning to rule and reign over the throne of King David in Jerusalem. This King will judge the living and the dead—those who haven't received Him.
Hell is a place for those who have not yet received Jesus. There is only one chance in this life to either accept Jesus or reject Him. After one closes his/her eyes, has his/her last breath, and his/her last heart beat there is not another chance to be born again. Hell is a place where people will experience unending, unrelenting, conscious punishment.
People today say their lives are "hell", and by that they mean that their lives are in disarray. If people truly understood that Hell is a place where the worship of God cannot take place, then they wouldn't say "my life is hell". Instead they would acknowledge that Hell is a real place where people are really headed.
In this issue of Theology for Life, you will be challenged to see people as God sees them, created in His image, but lost if they don't know Jesus the Son of God who saves. This issue will prayerfully help you to see the lost as God does so that you might have compassion on the lost, and truly care about them enough to share Christ with them. Heaven and Hell are real; it's not a joke. Heaven is a place where true Christians will go to worship their King and Lord Jesus Christ for all eternity. Hell is a place where the unsaved will experience unending, unrelenting conscious punishment for their entire lives.
As you read this issue I encourage you to share it with your friends. Heaven and Hell are weighty theological concepts, but often are devalued in the Church today. There are many people who question whether Hell is a place of unrelenting, unending, conscious punishment. The Kingdom of Jesus is exclusive. In order to be part of His Kingdom, you must be born again. Jesus is only the way to God and only by believing in Him can one be saved and escape the fires of Hell. Through Jesus, He makes all things new. He redeems man by reconciling man to Himself. He gives man a new future, full of hope, a hope grounded in His death, burial, and resurrection. I encourage you as you read this issue to prayerfully reflect on what you're reading. My prayer is that your faith would be strengthened, and that the gospel might take deeper root in your life as a result of your reading of this issue on Heaven and Hell.

The Immediate Effects of the "Citizens United II" Ruling
By Molly Redden
Dashing any hope that the Supreme Court would reconsider its ruling in Citizens United, the justices today handed down a terse, 5-4 decision that definitively invalidated state bans on corporate spending. It's a hard knock for reformers, who were earnestly wishing (but probably not expecting) that the Supreme Court would at least hear new arguments regarding its controversial 2010 decision. But what, in reality, does it mean for states and their elections?
Not all that much. The case decided this morning concerned Montana's Corrupt Practices Act, which banned outside political spending by corporations. The law was enacted in 1912 to limit the influence of Montana's early 20th century 'Copper Kings' in local elections. (For an engrossing history of the act and their tycoonery, see Larry Howell's paper in the Montana Law Review.) When the Citizens United decision came down in 2010, Montana was one of 24 state with such campaign finance limits, but it was the only one that decided to continue enforcing its ban, citing the state's history of electoral corruption as an extenuating circumstance. The Montana Supreme Court upheld the law in September when it was challenged by American Tradition Partnership, a tax-exempt political group "dedicated to fighting environmental extremism." This morning's decision was a summary reversal of that lower court's ruling—the court declined to hear new arguments and immediately invalidated the Montana court's decision.
As a practical matter, then, this morning's ruling only confirms the pervasive bleakness of campaign finance regulation in local and state elections. Unlimited corporate spending in elections all the way down to the sheriff's office will remain law of the land for the foreseeable future. The real significance of ATP v. Bullock, explained Paul S. Ryan, senior counsel at the Campaign Legal Center, is that it demonstrates just what an uphill climb it will be for anyone looking to roll back the consequences of Citizens United through legal means. "I think this is the last we're going to hear of this specific legal issue for years to come," Ryan said. "It shows that it may require change in composition of the Supreme Court before this issue of money in elections can be revisited." Of course, amending the constitution would be another option—one that some progressive lawmakers are already exploring.
There is one tiny ray of light for would-be reformers contained in the single-page, unsigned decision. Ryan points out that part of the reason the Court rejected Montana's arguments was that they "[failed] to meaningfully distinguish" the state's need for an exemption to Citizens United. This suggests that states' individual experiences—with documentable corruption, for example—could be used as the basis for a future legitimate challenge to Citizens United. But he doubts, at the same time, that this will happen anytime in the near future. "These states just aren't going to be enforcing these spending limit laws." So much for hope.

Leaves of Grass Movie Trailer (Pot Thriller Comedy with Ed Norton as Twins)
Posted on Sunday, November 15th, 2009 by Hunter Stephenson
We were beginning to wonder if Leaves of Grass, a pot comedy thriller starring Edward Norton in the role(s) of identical twins, had hit a buzz or release snag. Or worse: try to recall the actor's Pride and Glory from last year. But judging by this new, rapid-clip trailer, complete with Norton pronouncing "crystal meth" in a thick country accent, Leaves might have yielded a nice return on a visual gag so infamously exploited by Van Damme actioners. Add in wretched black light posters, scenes with Susan Sarandon as the twins' knowing mom, and Richard Dreyfuss channeling Nic Cage's iguana rage, and it's worth a laugh.
Julian McMahon, Ernest Borgnine, Richard Dreyfuss and Brian Cox Join Red
Posted on Friday, November 13th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
There are a great many comic books being adapted to film these days, and it's easy to get lost as you wade through the sea of adaptations, potential projects and also-ran efforts. But a good cast will get and keep my attention every time, and the lineup for Red, Robert Schwentke's adaptation of the Warren Ellis-penned comic book. The cast was already stellar, and now a few more excellent names have been added. Ernest fucking Borgnine? That's crazy! He's 92! Read More »
First Look: Leaves of Grass
Posted on Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
The first production photos from Leaves of Grass have premiered on the Toronto Film Festival website. The firlm is written, directed and produced by Tim Blake Nelson, starring Edward Norton as Bill Kincaid, an Ivy League classics professor, who "returns to rural Oklahoma to bury his dangerously brilliant identical twin brother, only to discover that the brother he believes to have been murdered has lured him home to involve him in a doomed plot against a local drug lord. Before Bill can flee, he's implicated in a murder, and his life has become completely unraveled, suggesting that no rational philosophy can protect us from life's twists and dangers.
Bill Kincaid, an Ivy League classics professor, who returns to rural Oklahoma to bury his dangerously brilliant identical twin brother who had remained in their native state to grow hydroponic pot. The official plot synopsis says that "Leaves of Grass is a fast-paced comic film that contrasts two distinct approaches to life." You will see in the photo above that Norton plays both of the twins. The film co-stars Susan Sarandon, Keri Russell, Melanie Lynskey, Maggie Siff and Richard Dreyfuss, some of wholm you can see in additional production photos included after the jump.
Exclusive Interview: Paul Scheer on Piranha 3-D, Its Surprising Jaws Connection, "Rambo-level gore," and Nude Wild Wild Girls
Posted on Friday, June 26th, 2009 by Hunter Stephenson
This summer, /Film considered traveling to the set of Piranha 3-D. Witnessing unlikely co-stars Richard Dreyfuss, Christopher Lloyd, Adam Scott, and completely naked bimbos battling (or getting devoured by) killer fish at the command of horror director Alex Aja is what the season is all about, no? Alas, it wasn't meant be to be. The STD-insurance alone in the spring break hotspot of Lake Havasu, Arizona—where the film is shooting and set—is friggin' outrageous. After informing us that we were not worthy, Piranha 3-D co-star and Human Giant comedian, Paul Scheer, offered up lots of funny, obscene and insane deets about next March's horror flick. He also sent over this exclusive photo of his morally bankrupt character.
At times, our conversation went off the record into darker territory—a la shark viscera spilling onto a pier—but much is said below about a production that aspires to be the goriest and craziest 3-D movie ever. Paul discussed his role (it required method-acting and method-oogling), the precise amount of blood (a shit ton), Lake Havasu memories, and why Richard Dreyfuss's sage character will seem, erm, pretty damn familiar. Chomp, chomp, chomp…
Hunter Stephenson: So Paul, I assume you wanted to do a broad family film and then you were offered Piranha 3-D. It was a matter of good timing, serendipitous.
Paul Scheer: [laughs] Yeah, well, I was trying to get Imagine That Too off the ground, where I become Eddie Murphy's brother, and have my own adventure with my daughter. It was actually crazy, because when I first heard about this movie, it was like, "Elizabeth Shue is in Piranha 3-D, she's awesome!" And then, you know, the title sounds cool and it sounds campy…
Richard Dreyfuss Joins Alex Aja's Piranha 3D
Posted on Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 by Hunter Stephenson
We've been anticipating writer/director Alex Aja's revamp of Joe Dante's delectable Piranha for what seems like light years now. But the wait for his schlock-tastic Piranha 3D would appear to be worth it, what with a snarky badass like Adam Scott (Step Brothers, Party Down) starring in the lead. Today, Page Six confirmed that The Weinstein Company has also brought on Richard Dreyfuss, the man who previously battled Jaws, a lame Opus, liverspots, and CHUD, for an unspecified role. Fits like a geek glove.

W. Movie Trailer

Lionsgate has released a final trailer for Oliver Stone's W, which is basically an extended version of the recent tv spots. I think this is a vast improvement over the teaser trailer, because you get a much better understanding of the comedic/dramtic tone of the film. The juxtaposition of the war images with Bush's stupidity is pure Stone. I also love how they call George Bush Sr. "Poppy". Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Official Plot Synopsis: Whether you love him or hate him, there is no question that George W. Bush is one of the most controversial public figures in recent memory. In an unprecedented undertaking, acclaimed director Oliver Stone is bringing the life of our 43rd President to the big screen as only he can. W takes viewers through Bush's eventful life — his struggles and triumphs, how he found both his wife and his faith, and of course the critical days leading up to Bush's decision to invade Iraq.
Cast: Josh Brolin, James Cromwell, Ellen Burstyn, Elizabeth Banks, Toby Jones, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Scott Glenn, Ioan Gruffud, Richard Dreyfuss, Jesse Bradford
W. hits theaters on October 17th 2008.
LOL: The Slimey EPIC FAIL Cabinet For Oliver Stone's W.
Posted on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 by Hunter Stephenson
With potential for yet another mind-shattering Republican satire hanging in the balance, Vanity Fair has published the first look at the entire 2003 cabinet in Oliver Stone's W. There's a good overall likeness, sure, but I dig the quirky soap opera-esque caricature Stone seems to be shooting for. What better way to portray the walking jokes and greedy, delusional scumbugs that raped my early 20s?
(L to R) Jeffrey Wright is General Colin Powell, Toby Jones is Karl Rove (even more imp-like), Dennis Boutsikaris is Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Dreyfuss is Dick Cheney (my second fave douche-likeness), Josh Brolin is George W. Bush
(L to R) Thandie Newton is Condoleezza Rice (nice Gremlin eyes), Rob Corddry is Ari Fleischer (my fave), Bruce McGill is George Tenet (smug, much), Scott Glenn is Donald Rumsfeld (theory: doesn't deserve any likeness)
And here's a new image we never got around to posting. Pee-wee's Big Adventure x Sling Blade? Economy permitting, Oliver Stone's W. opens this October.

Here's Dick: Richard Dreyfuss Cast as Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's W.
Posted on Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 by Hunter Stephenson
You special kids can stop meddlin' with your mashed potatoes because the last major bit of casting on Oliver Stone's W. is close to a done deal: ass tamale Richard Dreyfuss will play elusive veep Dick Cheney. Wow. There wasn't any question that Stone was going for the president's jugular with this biopic, but Dreyfuss adds a bubbly new layer of vitriolic spittle. I wouldn't be surprised if Dubbya chews dip, in both color and Stone's signature b&w psycho-vision, for the entire running time. Wait, does one chew dip? I guess one dips it.
Moreover, SAG has shined its light on W., giving the Lionsgate production a waiver that allows filming to proceed if/when the strike goes down this summer. Like a 'roided bull backing into a stable, it seems W. will arrive in theaters this October no matter what, right before the election (oh, that's not over yet?). And according to the Hollywood Reporter (no linkage) a DVD release is purposely scheduled for Bush's exit in January. That's the sound of Indy's whip!
Dreyfuss joins Josh Brolin as Dubbya, Elizabeth Banks as the smilin' First Lady, Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice, Rob Corddry as Ari Fleischer (\m/), Scott Glenn as Donald Rumsfeld, Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush, James Cromwell as Poppa Bush, Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell, Toby Jones as Karl Rove, and America as Captain Happypants.
Discuss: Who was your choice for Cheney? Does Dreyfuss top it? How successful do you think W. will be at the domestic box office? Is the end near? What will Bush do after he leaves office?
Tin Man Trailer
Posted on Friday, October 5th, 2007 by Peter Sciretta
A trailer/advertisement for the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series Tin Man is now online. The story is a based on Lyman Frank Baum's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
A fierce tornado rips DG (a re-imagined Dorothy Gale), a rebellious young waitress from Omaha, and deposits her with a shocking bump on "the other side." The once-beautiful "Outer Zone" (Oz) has been zapped into a frigid and decaying wasteland.
Aided by her Longcoat storm troopers and winged Mobat (monkey-bat) spies, Sorceress Azkadellia (The Wicked Witch of the West) has seixed power from her own mother, as part of a nefarious plot-to suck the souls out of her minions and harness the energy to jump the gap between her world and the "other side"-a place called Earth. And of course, DG is the only person who can halt Azkadellia's twisted master plan.
The special effects, in true miniseries fashion, aren't good enough for prime time. But the film has a great all-star cast (Zooey Deschanel, Alan Cumming, Richard Dreyfuss), and features an interesting and unique take on a classic story. I'm a sucker for anything featuring Deschanel, and Tin Man looks strange but interesting. Check out the advertisement after the jump.


Oliver-Pyatt Centers Director of Nutrition Services Mary Dye, MPH, RD, CDN, LD/N shares about the complimentary relationship of Mindful and Intuitive Eating in this week's blog post. Mary explains the ten principles of intuitive eating and the ways in which you can practice mindful eating in your own life.
Mindful and Intuitive Eating often become confused and used interchangeably. While practicing mindfulness is a necessary step on the path to intuitive eating, the two are actually quite different.
Mindful eating is awareness of all of the components influencing your eating (i.e. emotions, physical cues, timing, access, preference, etc) without judgment. The "without judgment" piece is hugely important as it allows us to observe our eating behaviors without criticizing our patterns.
On the other hand, intuitive eating is a form of attunement of mind, body, and food guided by 10 principles, nicely outlined by Tribole and Resch in their book, "Intuitive Eating." These principles include eating in response to physical cues (rather than for emotional reasons) along with unconditional permission to eat when cues are present. We are born as intuitive eaters, yet somewhere along the course of life – often we start toying with diets and/or attaching shame and judgment to eating and our bodies, many people lose touch with their internal cues and eat according to external cues such as calorie counts, body weight, rules regarding timing or judgments of "good" and "bad" foods. In intuitive eating we let these external forces go and rely on our internal cues.
Our aim at OPC is to really dive into the work of mindfulness by noticing what impacts our food choices and responses to food both internally and externally. We discuss everything from what judgments might be held about the food itself, what emotions might be experienced that impact hunger and fullness cues, how the food feels in our bodies and what foods truly satiate us. For instance, when someone reports feeling a lack of hunger before a meal, we dig in and discuss if any emotions might be masking their hunger cue or if a long-held judgment over the food being served is impacting their readiness to have the meal. By acknowledging all of these facets to eating openly to seek support we can help women re-engage in their intuitive cues and learn to respond to them appropriately.
A part of our work that we take very seriously as a clinical team is our modeling of mindful eating behaviors to our clients. There's something very powerful about women eating and acknowledging their need and desire for food. In our culture it is all too common to hear of women depriving themselves and striving to alter their bodies and deny their need and desire for food. Yes, we're a busy group of clinicians, but we make time to nourish our bodies in a mindful manner. Our client's see that and share in it – I believe it is a key to their healing process. I'd love to see more women promoting mindful and intuitive eating to one another. And don't even get me started on the need for more positive body talk!
At the table we promote the entire mindful experience; considering every detail from a beautiful tablescape and relaxing environment without distractions to thoughtful conversation so clients can fully engage with the meal experience. These are details I find so important in the promotion of mindfulness, whether a person is recovering from an eating disorder or not. Learning to differentiate emotional and physical forms of hunger, fullness, and satiety are a preliminary step to intuitive eating in all of our lives. In doing this we find that sometimes what is needed to satiate us isn't even food.
As a mother of a 3 year old, I understand how hard it can be to remain mindful on a daily basis. Often, dinner time in my house can feel rushed and distracted after a day of work, the need to start a bath, and complete a pre-schooler's bedtime routine. It is so important to check in with cues and assess fullness and satiation to ensure intuitive cues are being honored. I sometimes find that what's lacking for satiation is something as simple as the chance to sit outside after being inside all day or to have a deep conversation with an old friend. Other times, I just need some ice cream. It's all about taking each eating experience one at a time and not judging what your body needs in that moment, but answering it and moving on. Really, how can any of us feel confident in our food choices and enjoy food if we have a constant feeling of shame and doubt when choosing food and eating it?

Ohio doctor found not guilty in 14 hospital patient deaths
April 20, 2022 RSS Feed
An Ohio doctor accused of ordering excessive painkillers that led to multiple hospital patient deaths was acquitted Wednesday of 14 counts of murder
COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio doctor accused of ordering excessive amounts of painkillers that led to multiple patient deaths at a Columbus-area hospital was acquitted of 14 counts of murder Wednesday following a weekslong trial.
Dr. William Husel, 46, was accused of ordering the drugs for patients in the Mount Carmel Health System. He was indicted in cases that involved at least 500 micrograms of the powerful painkiller fentanyl.
Prosecutors said ordering such dosages for a nonsurgical situation indicated an intent to end lives. Husel's attorneys argued he was providing comfort care for dying patients, not trying to kill them.
Franklin County Judge Michael Holbrook told jurors before the start of deliberations that they could also consider lesser charges of attempted murder. They deliberated for six days.
Husel would have faced a sentence of life in prison with parole eligibility in 15 years had he been found guilty of just one count of murder.
Prosecutors presented their case beginning Feb. 22 and put on 53 prosecution witnesses before resting on March 29. Those witnesses included medical experts who testified that Husel ordered up to 20 times as much fentanyl as was necessary to control pain.
Husel gave enough fentanyl to some patients to "kill an elephant," testified Dr. Wes Ely, a physician and professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University.
Other prosecution witnesses included medical experts, Mount Carmel employees, investigators, and family members of all 14 patients.
By contrast, defense lawyers called a single witness — a Georgia anesthesiologist — to testify that Husel's patients died from their medical conditions and not Husel's actions. The defense rested on March 31 after one day.
The age of the patients who died ranged from 37 to 82. The first patient death was in May 2015. The last three died in November 2018.
During closing arguments April 11, David Zeyen, an assistant Franklin County prosecutor, told jurors that regardless of how close a patient is to death, it's illegal to speed up the process.
Husel's attorney Jose Baez during a remote news conference after the verdict repeated his assertion that prosecutors didn't produce "a shred of evidence" to back up their claims. He called Husel an "incredible doctor" who with his family are "incredibly relieved the nightmare is over."
"I'm deeply saddened William had to go through this," Baez said.
The Franklin County Prosecutor's Office released a brief statement that concluded: "We accept the jury verdict."
Husel was fired by the Mount Carmel Health System. It concluded he had ordered excessive painkillers for about three dozen patients who died over several years. He was initially charged with 25 murder counts, but the judge agreed to dismiss 11 of those counts in January.
Husel's colleagues who administered the medications weren't criminally charged, but the hospital system said it fired 23 nurses, pharmacists and managers after its internal investigation and referred various employees to their respective state boards for possible disciplinary action.
Mount Carmel has reached settlements totaling more than $16.7 million over the deaths of at least 17 patients, with more lawsuits pending.
One patient, 82-year-old Melissa Penix, was given 2,000 micrograms of fentanyl and died a few minutes later. Dr. John Schweig of Tampa Bay General Hospital testified for the prosecution that Penix "definitely was not terminal, nor was continuing medical care futile."
"She was a fighter," said Penix's daughter, Bev Leonhard, of Grove City, according to The Columbus Dispatch. "She didn't deserve to die the way she did."

Electron microscope studies of InxGav1-xAs/GaAs/Si grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
K. Kamei, W. M. Stobbs, K. Fujita
The microstructure of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs (5 nm/5 nm, x < 0 to 1.0), as grown by a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition two-step growth technique on Si(100) at 450‡C, and subsequently annealed at 750‡C, is investigated using plan-view and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. The variations in resultant island morphology and strain as a function of the In content were examined through the comparison of the misfit dislocation arrays and moirés observed. The results are discussed in relation to the ways in which the island relaxation process changes for high In content.

            android:layout_weight="0.50"
            android:background="#bebebe"
            android:text="Button2" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button3"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.50"
            android:background="#bebebe"
            android:text="Button3" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button4"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.40"
        android:background="#bebebe"
        android:text="Button4" />
</LinearLayout>

A: Well, in RelativeLayout, as the name suggests, the elements are positioned relative to something else, like the parent view, or another widget in the layout. So you can align the widget in many many ways, like apending it to the right of a view, to the left, above, below, and so on.
Please refer to this link and this other link for more information.
So, if you want to make your buttons look exactly like your example image, try this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:text="Button 1" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button2"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/button1"
    android:text="Button 2" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button3"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/button2"
    android:text="Button 3" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button4"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/button3"
    android:text="Button 4" />

You can simply make the button width to fill_parent instead of align left and right. And the height, you can define the measures you'd like to use.
Btw, I used alignParentLeft and alignParentStart because I don't know which API level you're using, so I've used both parameters, old and new. But the effect is the same, your buttons will always start to the left of the parent view.
EDIT: As the user hasternet suggested, you could also use LinearLayout and get similar results.
EDIT 2: And if you like to change the look of your buttons, try to change the style (Take a look here to know what I mean).

A: Your code seems correct, but if you want to replicate the size of the buttons then you can't set the height as wrap_content. This will make it as tall as the text, change that to some given value:
android:layout_height="50dp"

A: Since you need to set the height of the buttons differently and also it depends on different screen size, you cannot achieve this with Relative Layout.
So go for LinearLayout and weightsum attribute. This way screen big or small, you can achieve your expected UI. Mentioned code below modified.
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:Orientation="vertical"
    android:weightsum="8" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:text="Button"
        android:layout_weight="1"
/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/button1"
        android:text="Button"
        android:layout_weight="3"
 />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/button2"
        android:text="Button"
        android:layout_weight="3"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button4"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

Q: How to deploy to Salesforce Custom Object metada using python? It seems I can communicate with Salesforce Metadata API just using SOAP python client (suds?)
Is there any more elegant way? I know about

*

*salesforce-python-toolkit

*salesforce-beatbox
but I could not find any example or documentation reference..
Any suggestion, reference or example would be appreciated!
Thanks

A: Salesforce does have a REST API but as far as I'm aware at this stage, the metadata operations are limited and also read-only, so using SOAP is the way forward.
The two projects you've linked to appear to be wrappers for the regular salesforce API and the bulk data API, that said, the source is available so maybe you could adapt one? Or wait for Superfell to answer, looks like he wrote the beatbox one!

Expertly Curated by the CoS Staff
Listen to Russian Circles' new single, "Memorial", featuring Chelsea Wolfe
by Chris Coplan
on September 13, 2013, 11:35am
In October, Chicago post-rock trio Russian Circles will team with singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe for a co-headlining tour of the UK and Europe. Chances are they'll probably share the stage to perform "Memorial", a collaboration between the two acts that's set to appear on Russian Circles' upcoming LP, Memorial.
"We've toured with Chelsea and are all big fans," Russian Circles bassist Brian Cook told Rolling Stone. "We felt like her work and what we do is stylistically different, but thematically it fits. We're both more sad and grind-you-into-the-dirt-with-misery. We went through so many permutations of that song, we got into this idea of doing a reprise like one of those albums that starts off and ends at the same spot. Like Pink Floyd's Animals: open with a stripped down version of the song and end with the full band song."
With both acts known for their darker, more somber tendencies, the collective layer Wolfe's wraith-like croon over a slow-moving torrent of mournful piano, echoey drums, and a guitar that almost seems to be wail. Listen in below. Be warned, though: not even the proximity of a glorious weekend can help you escape the track's all-consuming waves of sorrow.
Memorial is due out October 29th via Sargent House. According to a press release, "the most immediately apparent characteristic (of the LP) is its wide range of emotion. Vacillating from somber-yet-soaring melodies on one track to pummeling metal heft on the next, Memorial sounds like an album with split personalities." For more sounds, be sure to check out lead single "Deficit".
Memorial Tracklist:
01. Memoriam
02. Deficit
04. Cheyenne
05. Burial
06. Ethel

La Los Angeles Master Chorale è un coro professionista di Los Angeles, in California e una delle compagnie residenti sia al Los Angeles Music Center che alla Walt Disney Concert Hall. Fu fondato nel 1964 da Roger Wagner per essere una delle tre società originali residenti del Music Center della Contea di Los Angeles. Grant Gershon è stato il suo direttore musicale dal 2001, in sostituzione di Paul Salamunovich.

Operatività
La Master Chorale si esibisce circa dieci volte all'anno nella sua stagione. Ha presentato oltre 450 concerti, dalla musica corale antica fino a composizioni contemporanee.

Simone Lamsma's playing is "absolutely stunning," raves the Chicago Tribune. And The Strad praises her "fine technique and impeccable intonation with mature musical intelligence." See Simone Lamsma play Sibelius' breathtaking Violin Concerto – the composer's only concerto, and Mark Wigglesworth conducts Ralph Vaughan Williams tender Fifth Symphony, a vision of tranquility composed in the darkest days of World War II in England.
Born in Sussex, England, Mark Wigglesworth studied conducting at the Royal Academy of Music in London and won the Kondrashin Conducting Competition in Amsterdam in 1989. Since then, he has worked with many of the leading European orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Oslo Philharmonic, Stockholm Philharmonic, Santa Cecilia Orchestra of Rome, Orchestra of La Scala in Milan, Budapest Festival Orchestra, and the Israel Philharmonic. He has also appeared at the Salzburg Festival, the Amsterdam Mahler Festival and the BBC Proms. Wigglesworth has held positions as Music Director of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Principal Guest Conductor of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and Music Director of the Opera Factory in London. He recently completed recordings all of the Shostakovich Symphonies with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic for BIS.


In June 2015, Terence 'Bud' Crawford, two-time world boxing champion and native of North Omaha, traveled with Jamie Nollette, his 4th grade teacher from Skinner Magnet Center, to learn about her work with Pipeline Worldwide, an organization that supports building fresh water wells and dormitories to support youth and families. Biga, funded by an Andy Award grant from UNO, traveled with them to observe and record their eye-opening activities on the two-week trip, which included meeting African, American and European program directors, educators, aid workers and humanitarians. They met survivors and perpetrators of violence, exploring rural and urban culture. Crawford was feted as a visiting prince by sports officials.
Tuesday, Oct. 18 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Terence "Bud" Crawford has captured the hearts and minds of Nebraskans with his move to the front ranks of professional boxing. The Omaha native has traveled a long, hard journey to get to where he is. Boxing is in his blood. The fight game is his life, yet there is much more to him than the tenacious competitor, finely tuned, supremely conditioned, confident, technically sound, unbeaten world title holding prizefighter. He is also a devoted family man who loves kids. Crawford is a sincere advocate for his community and is curious about the wider world outside his hometown and home state, and has made it a point to broaden his horizons. To indulge his hunger to know more and see more, he has twice ventured to Uganda and Rwanda, Africa, and plans to go again in the fall.
The story of why he has gone to those places, whom he went with and what he did there reveals much about The Champ. His travels to Africa are under the auspices of Pipeline Worldwide, an American-based NGO whose executive director and co-founder, Jamie Nollette, was Bud's fourth grade teacher at Skinner Magnet School in North Omaha. Pipeline Worldwide helps support sustainability and self-sufficiency programs in Uganda and Rwanda. The strong bond between the former pupil and instructor seems destined to last a lifetime since they reunited in 2014. That's when Crawford joined her on his first journey to Africa. The experience changed him. In June 2015, Omaha author-journalist-blogger Leo Adam Biga traveled to Uganda and Rwanda, Africa with Crawford and Nollette. His reporting mission was funded by the Andy Award for international journalism from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Biga's talk will highlight various facets of the experience with the aid of a video slideshow.
Biga has chronicled Crawford's rise to boxing prominence and his single-handedly resurrecting the sport in his hometown by fighting title defenses here before huge crowds at the CenturyLink Center. Crawford operates a gym in North Omaha that is a sanctuary for at-risk youth and young adults, providing them structured, positive activities that teach lessons inside and outside the ring. Friends of Crawford have embarked on a major building campaign to renovate and expand the gym so it can serve more people.
Crawford's first trip to Africa, Biga reports, was an awakening for the fighter as he saw everything from people living in want and healing from trauma to people working regular jobs, going to market and living in comfortable housing. He visited villages and organizations that Pipeline Worldwide assists with funding to build fresh water wells and dormitories and to support programming that helps youth, women and families. He met survivors of civil war, abduction, abuse and genocide. He played with and comforted sick and orphaned children. He also visited natural wonders.
During the Africa journey Biga joined, the travel party saw everything described above and more. Biga was there to observe and report on it all. It was the writer's first trip outside the United States, so it was naturally an awakening for him, too.
The visitors met African, American and European program directors, educators, aid workers and humanitarians. They met survivors and perpetrators of violence. Crawford was feted as a visiting prince by sports officials who organized a press conference he handled with aplomb. The travel party divided their time between urban centers and rural areas. They shopped at open air markets and enclosed malls. They were treated to great hospitality wherever they went and they sampled all manner of the local cultures in the food and fashion and in the dance and music they were exposed to. They also did some service work at one stop. They went on safari and a gorilla trek. All in all, the two weeks added up to an eye-opening experience that none will soon forget.
One of the takeaways from it all is that there are many Africans and non-Africans alike working hard to improve conditions and raise quality of life in the countries visited.
And, as expected, traveling two weeks with Crawford gave Biga new insights into him. Biga also developed a deeper appreciation for what Nollette and Pipeline Worldwide does. If anything, the relationship between Crawford and Nollette has grown through their travels together. He helps bring awareness to Pipeline Worldwide and the programs and projects it supports, and she is helping lead the campaign to renovate and expand his B&B Boxing Academy.
Biga's presentation describes in words and pictures the 2015 trip he made with The Champ to those countries. The talk will give a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Crawford's world away from boxing and his heart for people. The event is free and open to the general public.
Image is everything in doing business, so let my writing cut through the clutter to make you shine.
Behind every organization is a story about people. Let me tell the human story of your company or nonprofit through whatever platform you desire: Website content, blog post, press release, newsletter, brochure, article, white paper, script, book. I am skilled in each medium. I will get to the heart of the matter because of my interviewing and storytelling expertise.
My tagline of "I write stories about people, their passions and their magnificent obsessions" is more than a handle, it is what I do and deliver. Story after story, project after project. Long form or short form. Online or in print.
People and what makes them tick are always at the center of the stories I tell. Let me showcase your people. Each one of them. Their passion and personality, their dreams and ambitions, their achivements and awards, their lessons learned, their risks taken. Let me describe how their innovations and successes have moved the organization forward. I will illustrate their administrative, managerial, entrepreneurial, creative, collaborative and team leadership and team building skills. When I get through featuring them, your people will shine like the experts, professionals and rock stars they are. Most importantly, your organization's story will be framed against the compelling personal profiles of your most important assets and resources – your people. Because, as you know, your organization is only as good as its people.
Let me bring to light everyone and everything that makes your organization special. It will be my privilege to help raise awareness and appreciation for all that your people do and for all that your organization does.
If you are looking for a new and traditional media campaign to highlight your organization or event, I can help with that, too. I bring years of experience as a media expert and liaison as well as thousands of followers across different social media platforms.
My Year in Review (as determined by the folks at Facebook): It's actually a pretty good representation of 2015.
A year of milestones and firsts, of familiar and new faces, of long distance and closer to home travels, of ongoing and emerging projects. Good health and good friends. Many blessings. Much gratitude.
Happy holidays and may 2016 bring us all peace of mind and heart.
I will be presenting about the June reportng mission I made to Uganda and Rwanda, Africa that The Champ Terence Crawford was on and that his former teacher Jamie Fox Nollette led. I will share lots of pictures from the experience. All are welcome. Free.

Q: ImportError: cannot import name flib I want to use Python for trying out hddm.
I installed anaconda, Python 2.7. When I try to follow the hddm tutorial in the command line window in spyder, the following happens, which seems to be a problem in pymc:

I work on Mac OS X 10.7. On the web, I find some comments concerning pymc possibly not being compiled with the correct version of gfortran, but the solutions all seem to be for windows. Also, I thought that this kind of problem should not happen with an integrated system like Anaconda?

A: There are two options:

*use conda install -c conda.binstar.org/pymc pymc

*install gfortran and use pip install -U pymc

I have a specific reporting requirement and would be very grateful for comments on the best way achieve it.
Schools currently produce a large number of reports in Excel for internal management purposes — these tend to be unique to each school — which is the rationale as to why I am looking to build a friendly application — they also require repetitive wrangling every time an updated report is required. The reports contain a combination of tables, visuals, and text.
At present I am seeking advice about whether it is possible to develop an easy-to-use interface for MS Report Builder for schools to build and distribute reports based on a schedule specified by the user — these reports will be produced as pdfs and as MS Powerpoint and Word documents.
A number of specific Templates will be designed for schools to adapt to their requirements — Is it feasible to consider developing an interface for report Builder/SSRS that is useable by school staff who have no technical knowledge???
Is there a better way to tackle this problem??
The reports are for an Educational Analytics application that is being developed in R — brief articles on the application are available at the links below.


PITT pastel pencils have wax-free leads; drawings can be wiped just as with pastel crayons, so need to be fixed afterwards. The 60 bright colours contain a high proportion of pigment; they are highly light-fast and do not change colour appreciably when fixed. The compact pastel lead is perfect for hobby painters and professional artists, because it produces plenty of colour without being used up too fast.
The wood-cased PITT pastel pencils are clean to handle. The practical pencil form is easy to control, even for beginners to pastels. PITT pastel pencils are particularly suitable for lines, hatching, and very fine colour transitions, but also for shading larger areas. They are useful for sketches and studies, portraits, still lifes and landscapes.


Photo For Freedom is an inspirational and amazing project created by my very good friend and amazing photographer Tom Goldner. The projects aim is to raise public awareness of child slavery and raise funds to contribute to anti-trafficking work. Get down to have a look at some stunning award winning images by Tom and support the cause by buying a print, a book or simply making a donation, I certainly will! All proceeds raised will go directly to the communities affected.
Once again GREAT project! We're all very proud of you Tom!


Asian refiners are after U.S. crude oil, according to brokers that Reuters talked to, as WTI continues to trade at a comfortable discount to Brent. Enquiries into shipments of crude from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean have now turned into orders, after OPEC announced it had agreed with its partners from the Vienna Club to extend supply cuts until the end of 2018.
In an ironic twist for the Vienna Club, their efforts to prop up prices are benefiting their greatest rivals—U.S. producers—arguably more than the Vienna Club itself. Higher prices have allowed shale boomers to expand production and hedge it, too. Besides, with the market expecting the cut extension, prices remained stable after the official announcement, keeping the price gap between WTI and Brent that has made U.S. crude so much more attractive recently.
According to data from Thomson Reuters Eikon, crude oil shipments from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean to China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan jumped from about 500,000 bpd at the beginning of this year to over 1.2 million bpd. Data from Kpler showed earlier that in October, the amount of crude leaving U.S. ports averaged 1.6 million bpd, a lot of this bound for Asian refiners.
Shipments of U.S. crude to Asia will likely continue to rise as production, especially in the shale patch, jumps, but according to JPMorgan's head of regional oil and gas Scott Darling, this will eventually have a negative effect on prices. Speaking to Bloomberg, Darling said that rising shale production—which could, thanks to now higher oil prices, hit 1 million bpd from the Permian alone—would ultimately cap the upward potential of prices.
In that warning, Darling echoed Continental Resources' Harold Hamm, who earlier this year warned his fellow shale boomers not to overdo the growth lest they bring about a repeat of the 2014 oil price collapse.
Based on reports about still stringent cost controls, spending discipline and focus on productivity boosting, this is now less likely than it was right after the original OPEC cut agreement was announced. Shale boomers will seek to make the best of the price situation while the OPC and Russia cuts are still there.
