I was terrified about going to my first fitness class, but I shouldn't have worried. Amy made me feel so welcome and relaxed, and the classes were great fun, with lots of laughter as well as sweat and tummy-shrinking! She got me back in a bikini after 16 years and 4 children so I love her.
Something extremely important that Amy's classes have taught me is how imperative it is to take some time out to do something for myself.
Amy is a fabulous teacher who knows so much about such a broad range of topics, from massage to nutrition as well as the human anatomy and how to work through various aches and pains.
The classes are diverse and dynamic.
I can honestly say it was one of the best things I decided to do for myself.
And within a month, we all looked a little leaner and more muscular. How I wish she hadn't left my area.
There was a touch of the yoga class, the dance class, the boot-camp about it. There was a lot of laughing.
I've seen her take big classes and small, but she manages to give tailored attention to each woman, every time, no matter how big the class.
Amy has the body of a ballet dancer and the sense of humour of a docker.
Amy is very knowledgable; she tailors routines according to your health and makes sure your technique is correct to get the most benefit out of the exercise you are doing.
Amy's classes are highly entertaining, she has an excellent sense of humour which is a useful when you are doing the more challenging exercises.
The classes were exactly the right length for me and I felt I had had a good workout without being exhausted.


Adults often let their smiles fade because they believe the only help out there for a bad bite is traditional braces. If that's your only concern, then you shouldn't worry. There are many orthodontic solutions out there for adults. Even the traditional solutions have more adult options for you to consider these days.
Adults often shy away from braces. They don't like the look and they don't want others to see them in their day-to-day life wearing them. If your dentist or orthodontist recommends traditional braces rather than another solution, ask about the different options currently available.
Traditional wire braces aren't strictly about shiny metal anymore. Here are a few of the options available to you.
Clear braces – These can vary in just how clear they are. There are tooth-colored braces, such as those made of ceramic. Or, the braces may use clear brackets. Even the wires can blend in with your tooth color. In this way, you can have the full benefit of traditional braces without having to advertise the fact.
Colored braces – Maybe you want to make a statement with your braces, rather than hide them. You can use colored braces for just that purpose. Occasionally you can mix and match some of the transparent options with the colored options to create a unique look.
Lingual braces – These types of braces put the brackets and wiring behind the teeth, instead of in front. This can help to effectively render them invisible. There are also braces that wrap between the teeth, rather than strictly in the front or back.
Mini-braces – As you can likely tell from the name, these braces are similar to traditional braces, but with much smaller brackets.
There are more types besides these and combinations of types when it comes to traditional braces. Your options will depend mainly on your specific bite problem. However, there are more options outside of traditional braces.
Clear aligners have grown in popularity over time. They offer many of the benefits that come with braces, but are far less intrusive. In fact, they're removable.
Best of all, for most adults, is that they're clear. They work faster than braces as well. But it's important to know clear aligners are typically only effective for mild cases of malocclusion.
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign braces, are more convenient than traditional braces. You can straighten your teeth without a lot of the hassle and discomfort that comes with fitting, readjusting, and becoming accustomed to traditional braces.
There are many more orthodontic solutions. It's possible to get partial braces or go through an advanced program for straightening your front teeth in a short amount of time. There are also purely cosmetic solutions, which don't do much for your bite, but can still make your smile look good for a time.
While there are tremendous amounts of options out there for adults with a misaligned smile, you have to do what works best for you. Listen to your dentist. It's possible you need traditional braces. Just know traditional braces come in a variety of modern configurations. If you would prefer clear aligners, ask your dentist if they will work for you.


1. Did You Catch That Jack?
9. Who Called The Cops?
"Who Called the Cops?" is pure over-the-top Pyscho New Orleans barrelhouse, zydeco, boogie and funky blues at its finest. Porterhouse Bob and Down to the Bone are on fire on this, their 3rd CD. Rollicking piano, accordion, tuba, trumpet, tenor and baritone sax, bass, drums and rubboard compliment these uniquely crafted upbeat Porterhouse Bob arrangements and original songs. The music is a celebration of life.
In as much as I take pride in my originality when writing these reviews, I'll occasionally see a quote in a bands press kit, or at their website, that compels me to use that quote. This description of their style of music was one of those compellers........"A blend of Bourbon Street brass, rolling piano blues and a classic New Orleans beat; this high octane barrelhouse band pumps out psycho boogie, funk and zydeco-blues as if there is no tomorrow". Touche` - the Blewzzman tips his hat to the writer of those words.
This feisty bunch of players are: PORTERHOUSE BOB, writer of the discs nine original tracks, on vocals and keyboards; MITCH MONTROSE, drums and rubboard; MIKE BARRY, bass; GEORGE PANDIS, trumpet; SCOTTY STRATHMANN, trumpet, trombone and tuba; DAN HEFFERNAN, clarinet, tenor and alto sax; DON ROBERTS, baritone sax; LONNIE JOHNSON, trumpet.
Just like the steak, PORTER HOUSE BOB and the band are excellent, right DOWN TO THE BONE.
"I received your CD. It's outstanding. It has great, energy, and the arrangements and variety are wonderful. And I must commend you on the production values…the recording, the mix, everything is exceptional. It's really first class and a lot of fun. I would enthusiastically recommend it to people. It's got style and wit and pizzazz. It's got that Dr. John feel that I love and crosses all the way over into Zydeco and Squirrel Nut Zipper territory. Congratulations!!"
"Yeah you have done it again with a gumbo laden feast of Southern Blues mixed into a Voodoo stew with just the right amount of spice to add to the flavor. Yes we love it (Who Called The Cops) soooooooooooooo very much and l have allocated the cd to the biggest Blues show in this city "Jumping The Blues" with Tom Sianidis Wednesday ... all I want is for everybody to hear what we were able to hear, great music. Perfect for PBS FM."
"Porterhouse Bob and Down to the Bone. Whoa!!! The Los Angeles barrelhouse boogie bosses send out the N.O. style boogie to the universe once again. The universe will respond with hollers and chill bumps. The new cd is called "Who called the Cops" to which I am currently listening to for the first time; and already loving it big time. You should hear it for sure."
Big Mojo Records is proud to present the latest and greatest CD from Porterhouse Bob and Down to the Bone, "Who Called the Cops?"!
Porterhouse Bob may well be Southern California's best-kept secret, but to a growing fan base that extends well beyond California, he and his band are achieving cult status. Porterhouse Bob has been making music professionally since 1965. The band has played such diverse venues as The Sand Dollar Blues Lounge in Las Vegas, the Atlantic Casino in Reno, Disney's California Adventure, The Blue Café, and summer festivals throughout California.
In the early days Porterhouse toured fairgrounds and played shows with the likes of The Safaris, The Champs and The Tornadoes. When the late sixties hit northern California, he was there, playing the Haight Street Theater, the Arc, Vy's Drake Club, opening for popular blues artists like Charlie Musselwhite and Elvin Bishop. He held residence at the Cellar Club in Houston playing a Hammond organ riddled with bullet holes. In Canada he played 3000 seat venues, opening for Willie Dixon, Paul Butterfield and James Cotton; until cocaine became as much a part of the music scene as the music itself.
Porterhouse's music and show are a reflection of smoky New Orleans bar rooms and the characters and sounds that made those rooms famous.
Porterhouse Bob's journey has met with its share of personal setbacks.
Raised in Los Angeles playing the accordion, piano and drums, by the time the end of the sixties hit, the era of free love and music that was Haight Ashbury turned into a labyrinth of hookers, hedonism and drug overdoses. Porterhouse found himself on the streets where gunshots rang out in the night. It was during this spiral into the dark underpinnings of "The Haight" that he joined the anti-war underground sponsored by local ministers and Berkley leftists. He was pumped into the underground pipeline, and, without time to say goodbye to friends and family, quietly placed onto the frozen streets of Toronto, Canada. It was survival, not music that fueled the next 5 years.
Despite forays into self-isolation, Porterhouse never stopped writing songs, material that would eventually craft itself into a style reflecting music he first heard from artists like Clarence Frogman Henry, Fats Domino, Professor Longhair and other early rock pioneers that hailed from New Orleans. In 2000 he put together his lineup of horns, keyboards, bass and drums; expanding the horn section from one to four (trumpet, tenor sax, baritone sax, and trombone/tuba). The sound carried with it reflections of early "N'Awlins" rock and R&B, but was redefined by Porterhouse's primarily west-coast experience. Fans call it "Pyscho-New Orleans Barrelhouse Blues".
Porterhouse Bob has released three CD under the independent label, Big Mojo Records; "Rockin' the Big House", "Shoutin' at the Grave", and most recently "Who Called The Cops".
The band has not garnished the attention of major distributors, but has relied instead on on-line distribution and the digital marketplace. Sales have reached to the Netherlands, Japan and South America. Airplay has been supported by public radio from Florida to Australia. He has no delusions of getting rich in an eclectic marketplace but enjoys knowing that there are people world-wide that understand and appreciate the direction he has taken with his band.
A Porterhouse Bob live show is at once exhilarating and accessible. The band transforms the evening into an experience of sight and sound that celebrates smoky New Orleans bar rooms and Louisiana swamp voodou.
Discouraged at times by a lack of acknowledgement from the die-hard blues community, Porterhouse Bob has forged ahead to embrace a broad based audience that is willing to embrace a sound that has traditional roots but reaches for higher ground.
Band members include Mitch Montrose on drums, Mike Barry on bass, George Pandis on trumpet, Dan Heffernan on tenor and alto sax, Scotty Strathmann on tuba, bone and trumpet, and Don Roberts on baritone sax.


I see her staring at me.
She looks like she ought to be a person that always stares, I know how she feels.
I'll go back to my ways. But, I wonder. What are the chances of seeing that person again?
I wonder how many people looked at me and thought the same thing. I doubt it.
What are the odds that I will see that woman again, the staring woman?
I won't give it another thought, let me go on my day.
there she goes walking away.
Hm, will she see me again?

If you need a competitive edge in Pub Quizzes (cheating is such an ugly word), or you're just an obsessed fan of trivia, then Trivopædia aims to be the resource for you. Tons of topics likely to show up in trivia contests are pared down to their bare essentials and listed alphabetically on the left.

A brief history, by Steve Litchfield
Started with rregal@cix.co.uk back in the mists of time and merged with data from my own Trivia program for the Psion Series 3 classic. And then added to in various bits as we went on, thanks particularly to Stefan Wolfrum, Christian Eyrich, Michael Hoehne, Louwe Brink, Steve Hawtin, Richard Lambley, Roger Burton-West, Jim Willsher, Ian Sayers, Alan Jones, Simon Williams, Colin Smith, Andrew Giddings, Andre van Linden, Thomas Floyd, Richard Weeber, David Aldous, Stewart Shine, Mark Wilder, Daniel Pope, Kevin Turner, Neil Jowett, Roland Francies, David Rushall, Austen Gower, A Nieman, Paul Ward, Colin Spurdle, Jim Ventola, Patrick Hahn, Richard Moss, Paul Bamber, Jim Johnston, Joshua Holman, Jonathan Winter and others on the net.
A less-brief addendum, by Mike Pollock
I stumbled upon Trivopædia while stocking my then-new Palm OS device with apps around the turn of the century. As a fan of trivia, I became a fan of Trivopædia almost instantly. When I moved to Android, I realized Trivopædia wouldn't easily make the transition with me, and indeed development seemed to have stalled around 2008. It also occurred to me that many current apps involved some sort of online component, and Trivopædia especially would benefit from having some updated content for its annual awards topics, among others. I reached out to Steve and he graciously gave me permission to convert the Trivopaedia 2.3.DOC to a Google Docs version. I spent hours tweaking it, making sure the Table of Contents at the top linked to all the articles below it, and doing a little updating, adding some topics, and reformatting as I went (I really like tables, apparently). Still, the massive single-page format seemed a little clunky by today's standards, so my next attempt was to convert that document into a Google Sites website, with each article on its own page, and a vertical navigation bar running down the side. That made me happier, but I soon realized that the annual upkeep of the various awards pages was becoming a chore. I knew that Wikipedia contributors keep track of such things, so I decided to take advantage of its open-source nature, and embed Wiki content (usually tables of some sort — what a surprise!) into the relevant articles to make them more-or-less self-sustaining. If you're viewing on a mobile device, you might have to click ▽ to expand some sections to see the content in question. And most, if not all, articles contain a link to Wikipedia or another external source for additional information. Which brings us to where we are now. Still a little clunky, but at least a little more up-to-date. I'd owe a debt of gratitude to my friends and collaborators, Evan and Roy, but what have they done for me lately?

Catherine Malandrino Shoes
Born in Grenoble, France, and now working in New York City, Catherine Malandrino has successfully merged two different perspectives of fashion.
Since starting her own label, Catherine Malandrino has woven together the energy of Manhattan with the romance and elegance of Paris.
Fashion designer Catherine Malandrino currently designs two collections: her contemporary Catherine Malandrino line and her runway line Malandrino which features shoes and accessories including jewelry, handbags, and belts.
Her latest surrealist-themed collection, 'Over the Rainbow', paid direct homage to surreal fashion's first lady, Elsa Schiaparelli.
Many of her shoes and accessories talk in the same surrealist manner of her, just like that pair of shoes made of fuchsia velvet, with an ambitious arch built on space and clarity and steel. These architectural velvet wedges, available in a variety of materials and colors, are estimated at $500.
Many times, accessories became metaphors for a designer's collection, and Catherine Malandrino's do exactly the same thing. Catherine Maladrino shoes express power, sexuality and use different visions. Just remember those shoes presented at one of her shows, 'Down To Earth' – flag-print ballet flats, which Malandrino is making in collaboration with Repetto, were eye-catching, and the same effect had other shoe designs, crocheted designs with wooden heels.
We can't help but love the Claudel shoes ($550), made of nappa lamb leather with metallic leather laser cut-out lace effect. The Camus sandals, also made also for the 2020 Spring/Summer collection, feature nappa lamb leather with chain detail on strap and leather lace detail on heel ($495).
The Pascal shoes are also made of nappa lamb leather and it's draped with nude silk fish net ($450). Catherine Malandrino's desings have been featured on Sex and the City and worn by celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, and Madonna. In 2020 she was a guest judge on Bravo TV's Project Runway. Her shoes complete her vision and translate her on own style in fashion. After working at Emanuel Ungaro and Et Vous in Paris, it was time for Catherine Malandrino to became the name on everyone's lips.

Sandra Bullock Says She and George Clooney Are "Too Similar" to Date
Sandra Bullock on Why She and George Clooney Didn't Date
30 September, 2013 by Laura Marie Meyers
Sandra Bullock opened up about her relationship with George Clooney when she sat down with Jay Leno for The Tonight Show on Friday. After Sandra said that she and her Gravity co-star go way back, Jay asked whether the pair ever dated. "I think we're probably the only two that haven't dated in the business," she said and added, "I think it's probably because we're a little too similar." When Jay asked her how they're similar, Sandra joked, "In all the disturbing ways."
It's been a big month for the actress, who left her mark on Hollywood when she shared her hand- and footprints on the Walk of Fame outside the TCL Chinese Theatre on Wednesday. She's also the gorgeous cover star of US Vogue's October issue. In the interview with Vogue, she opened up about her little one, 3-year-old Louis, and how she's content right where she is: "We're all where we're supposed to be. I am exactly where I want to be now. You can't go backward. I'm not going backward. I'm grateful that I'm here, blessed to have what I have."

The study aimed to validate a whole-genome sequencing-based NIPT laboratory method and our recently developed NIPTmer aneuploidy detection software with the potential to integrate the pipeline into prenatal clinical care in Estonia.
In total, 424 maternal blood samples were included. Analysis pipeline involved cell-free DNA extraction, library preparation and massively parallel sequencing on Illumina platform. Aneuploidies were determined with NIPTmer software, which is based on counting pre-defined per-chromosome sets of unique k-mers from sequencing raw data. SeqFF was implemented to estimate cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) fraction.
NIPTmer identified correctly all samples of non-mosaic trisomy 21 (T21, 15/15), T18 (9/9), T13 (4/4) and monosomy X (4/4) cases, with the 100% sensitivity. However, one mosaic T18 remained undetected. Six false-positive (FP) results were observed (FP rate of 1.5%, 6/398), including three for T18 (specificity 99.3%) and three for T13 (specificity 99.3%). The level of cffDNA of <4% was estimated in eight samples, including one sample with T13 and T18. Despite low cffDNA level, these two samples were determined as aneuploid.
We believe that the developed NIPT method can successfully be used as a universal primary screening test in combination with ultrasound scan for the first trimester fetal examination.

Electroless nickel is the preferred engineering coating solution for applications requiring high levels of corrosion and wear resistance, deposit uniformity and hardness, lubricity, and solderability. Electroless nickel plating is an autocatalytic chemical process used to deposit a uniform layer of nickel-phosphorous alloy onto stainless steel, copper, aluminum, or brass workpiece, without the necessity of applying electrical current.
Advanced Surface Technologies provides the highest quality electroless nickel plating services available for coating irregularly shaped parts, internal surfaces and cavities where assembly tolerances are critical, prototyping, and your other mission critical projects.
By eliminating the electrical current necessary to perform traditional electrolytic plating processes, electroless nickel plating allows AST to place nickel deposits in hard-to-plate recesses without burning or excessive build up on the outer edges of parts. This unparallelled level of conformity to the plated surface, uniform thickness, and atomic-level smoothness enhances cosmetic finishes, allows repair or salvage of complex machine components, high tech applications such as computer hard drive coating, and other custom solutions for demanding applications in a wide range of industries.
AST provides custom coating solutions per military spec Mil-C-26074, and AMS 2404 – the most widely recognized and long-standing specifications pertaining to Electroless Nickel plating. Our experienced staff can also fabricate solutions meeting ASTM B733, as well as other certifications, and are capable of meeting your company-specific specifications as well.
Advanced Surface Technologies is a national leader in the design, fabrication, and finishing of quality parts for the oil and gas, aerospace, solar, electronics, automotive, and other industries.

It's a very late morning in the studio with homemade, gluten free raisin and banana muffins for brunch today. (I actually had oatmeal & fruit for breakfast at 5am but that doesn't really count as it was hours ago now, does it?) The weekend is almost here, yes! Looking forward to the warm weather and sunny skies tomorrow while Sunday afternoon is being spent kitchen "idea browsing" at Ikea as my mother-in-law is thinking to renovate her kitchen in the near future. I'm not sure "idea browsing is actually a term but that's why we are going. My week was super productive tying up some last minute loose ends on one of my projects, lots of problem solving (why is coding so hard??) and brainstorming for a new business venture which I have in the works. The magnolia tree is blooming in the front garden while my back garden is filled with cardinals & canaries gathered around the bird feeder but the highlight has been a family of cottontail bunnies spending hours each day nibbling at the spilt seeds under the bird feeder. Having a glass of wine with a friend this afternoon, I can't wait for 4 o'clock to arrive!
Opus wine from Napa, you lucky thing!!
Magnolias are my favourite too, Leonie!

Sponsored content: Yesterday we spent some time thinking about the values we hold as an industry and individually in relation to the way we conduct business in an ethical and trustworthy way. In Australia, we have held a spotlight to this recently in light of the Banking Royal Commission, and Treasury's hard-line mission to curb the Black Economy.
Because of the "back office" nature of the business function, tax has traditionally flown under the regulatory radar and too often lent an effective camouflage to illegal and ethically questionable practices, such as money-laundering and obscuring income through profit-shifting.
Similarly, a lack of robust tax governance in the past has meant that many unintentional misdemeanours went undetected, often costing companies substantial sums due to incorrect rate calculations.
Corporate Australia is demonstrating its support of transparent reporting through the "Justified Trust" initiative and the Voluntary Tax Transparency Code, however there is unprecedented pressure to do more.
At the G20 summit in Argentina, the vital role that tax, accounting and auditing plays in fighting financial crime was discussed and the sentiment was shared by the International Federation of Accountants and the International Bar Association as they called for global collaboration in the fight against corruption.
In the investment world, global groups are also increasingly interested in tax transparency as part of a responsible investment strategy.
Brand damage is a huge risk for multinationals who continue to employ sophisticated tax-minimisation strategies, even if these activities are legal. Consumers see the paltry amount of tax paid by these companies as a deliberate snub to the communities in which they operate.
The corporate culture created and perpetually reinforced by a combination of conflicting systems, organisational goals, and business performance KPIs is a constant challenge to corporate governance.
From a tax perspective, there is no doubt that having processes in place for maintaining accurate records and reports, questioning and calling out anomalies through the audits is essential. And so is ensuring that these processes are facilitated by the right technological solution – one that accelerates the compliance process and allows employees to focus on the business' strategic needs.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. It turns out that the file name and line number in the output that I originally posted can be used to set a breakpoint and from there a call stack can be dumped (with bt). This approach is a bit like what Roman had suggested.
I was also able to get sc_report_handler::set_action() to work. It's great to have all of the options suggested here.
1. Surround calls with a try/catch block.
2. Change the default action to SC_DISPLAY without SC_THROW.
I would also suggest you use the SC_REPORT_ERROR() macro so that you get the file and line number where the call originated.
1. Doesn't try/catch block work only within that thread?
2. Can you kindly point me to documentation on how to change the default action of SC_ERROR? I couldn't find it in the UserGuide and did not find useful googling the internet. I would like to change it to SC_ABORT and change the abort handler to use Boost to dump the stack (as Roman suggested above).
Yes, SC_REPORT_ERROR() is being used and in the output that I showed above, it is identifying a system C include file as the place where SC_REPORT_ERROR() is called.
Does anyone know if it is possible to see the call stack when sc_report_error() is called?
Here's an example of the output under lldb when my systemC program is run. The call to sc_report_error() causes the program to exit, leaving no call stack.
Is there a configuration flag to cause sc_report_error() to not cause an exit()?

Name: Laquintasaura (La Quinta lizard).
Named By: P. M. Barrett, R. J. Butler, R. Mundil, T. M. Scheyer, R. B. Irmis & M. R. Sánchez-Villagra - 2014.
Named in 2014, Laquintasaura is officially the first ever dinosaur genus to be named as coming from Venezeula. Laquintasaura was a small plant eating dinosaur, roughly estimated to have been about one meter long. When the first fossils of Laquintasaura were recovered, small theropod dinosaur teeth were discovered near them, hinting at a predator/prey relationship. Later in 2014, actual theropod dinosaur bones were found and used to name the genus Tachiraptor.

Q: Removing data from string using regular expressions in C Sharp Definitely I'm not good using regular expressions but are really cool!, Now I want to be able to get only the name "table" in this string:
[schema].[table]

I want to remove the schema name, the square brackets and the dot.
so I will get only the work table
I tried this:
string output = Regex.Replace(reader["Name"].ToString(), @"[\[\.\]]", "");

A: So you came up with a new idea?? Here is what you can try:
string input = "[schema].[table]";

// replacing the first thing into [] with the dot with empty
string one = Regex.Replace(input, @"^\[.*?\]\.", "");

// or replacing anything before the dot with empty
// string two = Regex.Replace(input, @".*[.]", "");

A: try this
string strRegex = @"^\[.*?\]\.";
Regex myRegex = new Regex(strRegex, RegexOptions.None);
string strTargetString = @"[schema].[table]";
string strReplace = @"";

var result=myRegex.Replace(strTargetString, strReplace);
Console.WriteLine(result);

A: Why do you want to do replace if you just want to extract part of string?
string table = Regex.Match("[schema].[table]", @"\w+(?=]$)").Value;

It works even in case if you don't have schema.

48.7 million people are expected to travel somewhere this year for Thanksgiving with San Diego being a top spot to visit family and friends. This year we are encouraging our customers to spend time with all those family members and friends that made a special trip to North County to visit for the Holiday.
We are NOT having any doorbuster deals, we are not opening at 5am, we are not encouraging people to leave Thanksgiving dinner early to go camp in the streets.


In his speech, Hans van Baalen asked himself whether the European Union (EU) was a failed project or whether it would be able to both manage the current Euro-crisis and maintain its position in the world. Van Baalen pointed out that the EU is not a federation such as the United States of America or the Federal Republic of Germany. The European Union was a clever construction erected by France and Germany after WWII under the joint pressure of the USA and Great Britain in order to prevent war between France and Germany in the future and as a way to decide how to spend the financial means provided by the European Recovery Programme or Marshall Plan well without the beggar-thy-neighbour policies of the period between the First and Second World Wars in Europe.
The Union was never deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of the European peoples. It was and is a means to an end just like NATO, Council of Europe or OECD. However, the Internal Market is of huge importance to all EU member states, especially for a trade oriented country like the Netherlands. The monetary Union, the ECB and the Euro which replaced the Bundesbank and the DeutschMark were a way in which France wanted to maintain political dominance over the re-united Germany after the end of the Cold War. A single European currency cemented together unequal economies of the competitive North and the uncompetitive South. The case of Greece proved that monetary union does not work without strong economic governance and political union or rules which are enforced (Stability Pact). The first is not possible without the consent of the people which is clearly not present. On the contrary, we have 27 member states without a European political space (European media, a common language, a common history and a joint vision on a common future). The 27 member states did not fight for a common Europe, they joined a common project which is something completely different. Therefore the Euro can only be safeguarded by a strong and coherent set of rules which were laid down in the Stability Pact which lacked enforcement.
In 2003/2004 France and Germany decided that they did not need to accept a correction of their policies which were not in line with the Pact. They forced the Eurozone to end the Stability Pact as a legal instrument and introduced peer pressure which did not work. See the Greek case in which a country was taken aboard for political and not for economic and financial reasons and which by sheer fraud disguised the fact that it did not, in any way, live by the rules. The only way to prevent a Eurozone contamination and meltdown is to re-establish and strengthen the Stability Pact and to introduce automatic sanctions to be enforced by an independent European Commissioner such as the Competition Commissioner in the European Commission.
Pacta Sunt Servanda is the only way to save the Euro, the Eurozone and the European Union at large. Then the financial markets will calm down. Then the Greek crisis will be rather easy to manage if Greece accepts that it has to fully change its way of government. If not Greece should leave the Eurozone. Only when the Euro is safe, will the EU be able to devote itself to play a global role and be an active stakeholder concerning peace and stability, human rights, free trade, environment and development. The alternative for the EU is internal and external stagnation which must be avoided at all costs.

Playing up to three hours a day is generally not harmful, at least according to the research, but I would question whether kids who spend three hours a day playing video games (and probably also using social media and additional technology) have enough time to pursue other interests..
"Video games such as Fortnite are designed to be addictive – they give children a hit of dopamine – also known as 'the reward hormone'," says Elizabeth O'Shea. … It is a major reason why people get hooked on the game as it gives you a 'hit' and makes you feel exhilarated.
Although Fortnite is only meant for kids who are 13 years old or older, there is a big case for allowing kids even as young as seven years old to play Fortnite. "The game has a cartoonish style, and the violence, while persistent, isn't bloody or particularly gory." … Fortnite can teach your child strategy and teamwork.
If you are active parent and you enjoy playing with your kids then absolutely this game is suitable for all ages and kids as young as 7/8 will enjoy playing the game whilst you help and encourage them along the way. There is zero mature content in the game.
About $1.5 Million Per Day—Just on iOS.
Fortnite and other addictive video games can affect children's brains in the same way as alcoholism or drug abuse, scientists have found. The researchers have discovered that the 'reward' system of young heavy players have the same changes in structure and function as those hooked on substances.
But many people don't think Fortnite is right for kids. Players shoot each other and win only after 99 other players in each game have been killed. The violence earned the game a rating of T (for Teen)—meaning it's not suitable for kids under the age of 13.
Your Brain on Fortnite Dr. Ryan says that any time you play something—whether it's video games, a sport or the piano—parts of the brain will be stimulated and the neurons in that part of the brain will grow. … But research has also linked playing violent video games with depression in children.
Fortnite online dangers While playing the game, players can hear profanity (and racist name-calling as you can see in the video above) from others as well as exchange voice chat messages with strangers. Because Battle Royale is played by hundreds of people at once, the range of people they encounter will be wide.
According to a survey of 1,000 US Fortnite players conducted by LendEDU and mobile survey platform Pollfish, gamers can spend anywhere from a few hours to almost a cumulative day per week playing the game.
What parents say about Fortnite Battle Royale. Fortnite has a Minecraft-like creative aspect, as players can build structures. … Players are randomly assigned a male or female character. The female characters are over-sexualized with big chests, skin-tight clothes, small waists, and large rear ends.
Having burst onto the scene in 2017, Fortnite has since become a worldwide phenomenon, amassing 350 million players across the globe as of May 2020.
Fortnite is not dying Fortnite has something to say to all of those who think the game is dying. … Content creators and popular streamers are given reasons to want to play the game again. This could easily alienate casual players, but it seems to be doing the trick.
Tim SweeneyTim Sweeney is the CEO and founder of Epic Games, the company that brought the world "Fortnite." Despite having a net worth just shy of $10 billion, according to Bloomberg, Sweeney enjoys the simpler things in life like Diet Coke and fried chicken from Bojangles'.

Digital Digest: Jack Benny from Shout!; Becker and Dave's World MOD Offerings from CBS; GCB - The Complete First Season DVD Review
Welcome to Digital Digest! It's a light news week this week, but we're here once again for all of your news, a look at Tuesday's releases, and this week, we have a review of GCB - The Complete First Season. Let's get going!
In the on-going story of 2011-2012 seasons of continuing sitcoms on DVD, we have one more entry this week from Universal. On September 11, Universal will release Up All Night - Season One on DVD. It isn't available to pre-order just yet, but with only a little over two months until release, it should be available some time soon.
The Jack Benny Program has had several DVD releases over the past decade, but all of those releases have been from low-budget studios and have included (exclusively) public domain material. But on September 11, it appears that Shout! Factory may be bringing us something a little bit better with The Jack Benny Program - The Lost Episodes! We haven't heard anything about this anywhere else, but according to another listing for the item on Movies Unlimited, the set will include 24 episodes of the classic series, not seen since their original airing, with guest stars including Milton Berle, George Burns, Gary Cooper, Frank Sinatra, President Harry S. Truman, John Wayne, and others. The information also suggests that there will be a few special features as well. There is no word on the source for these episodes, but an article appeared in The New York Post in early 2010 indicating that CBS had discovered "roughly 25 episodes" of the classic series in their vault, but was being "stingy" (remember, The New York Post is a paper which likes to sensationalize news) and refusing to let them ever be seen again... but the real news in the article is that the real problem is likely costs for music clearance, something which CBS is not necessarily always eager to pay for on their DVD releases. So, is it possible that these episodes being released by Shout! Factory are indeed these episodes? Perhaps they are some other lost episodes? Or are they just more of the standard public domain releases we've seen in the past? We don't know just yet, although given Shout! Factory's history, it is unlikely that it would be more like the releases we've seen in the past. We'll let you know when we know more. Our appreciation goes to the poster of this message on the website Home Theater Forum for bringing the matter to the attention of others! By the way, if you're hungry for some of the standard public domain Jack Benny fare already out there, check out Mill Creek's 39 episode collection of The Best of Jack Benny... it may be public domain, but it is a much nicer public domain release of the series than the other collections out there.
CBS has been planning a MOD release of Becker - The Fourth Season for a few months now, but we hadn't heard much about it... until now! According to the listing on amazon.com, it will begin shipping this coming Tuesday. But that isn't all for CBS! Another listing popped up on amazon.com recently for Dave's World - The Third Season. No date is given for this yet, but we'll let you know more when we know more.
Speaking of CBS, some people out there may be aware that the studio keeps a syndication bible available online. It isn't really something that is really designed for the general public, but rather as information for TV stations which air series from their library. On the surface, this appears to have little (if anything) to do with DVDs... but it has a lot more to do with them than it sounds. This is because it keeps updated information on when the studio remasters series and individual episodes in high-definition, and over the years, many "DVD-philes" have come to discover that things only get remastered in preparation for DVD (although the database is sometimes not totally up to date, there is evidence to support this; the best example is for the series Dynasty, where CBS has transferred seasons two through five to HD, but skipped the first season, which was released by Fox). So, why are we bringing it up this week? In recent weeks, seasons three through five of The Streets of San Francisco have been added as being remastered or in-progress (and we know both the third and fourth seasons of that series are forth coming), and recently, HD versions of the remaining (unreleased) seasons of Perry Mason and The Lucy Show have been added to the website. So, although we can't draw any definitive conclusions from this, it seems to suggest that releases of these series may be on track for completion. We'll let you know more once we know more!
Finally, an unusual bit of news popped up on TVShowsOnDVD.com regarding Fantasy Island. It suggests that Sony will be releasing Fantasy Island - The Complete Second Season as a MOD title on September 4. This is unusual, though, because this set was already released just a few weeks ago by Shout! Factory as a standard pressed title. We have no clue what is going on with this release, and even Shout! Factory is confused by it as well, as indicated on Twitter by producer Brian Ward. So, is this release really coming? Or is this just some sort of error by Sony? We don't know, but hopefully things will become a bit clearer in the upcoming weeks, and we'll let you know what we find out!
Tuesday (July 3) is a moderately busy day for DVD releases, with CBS leading the pack. As we mentioned a little earlier, they'll begin shipping Becker - The Fourth Season exclusively as an amazon.com CreateSpace MOD title on Tuesday, but that is far from the only release from CBS. Other releases for Tuesday (and these are all standard DVD releases available at all retailers) from CBS include Mannix - The Seventh Season, The Streets of San Francisco - Season Three (Volume 1 and Volume 2), and Dynasty - The Sixth Season (Volume 1 and Volume 2). You can read our review of Mannix from last week's Digital Digest, and reviews of The Streets and San Francisco and Dynasty will be coming up in the next few weeks on Digital Digest. Shout! Factory has more of Rocko's Modern Life with Rocko's Modern Life - Season Three. You can read our review of that set here. If you're a fan of The Cosby Show and just don't want the season sets, First Look Entertainment has a value-priced collection of episodes with The Best of The Cosby Show - Volume 2. Finally, Universal releases a special which looks back at the females, going as far back as the days of Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, and Laraine Newman, of NBC's long lived Saturday night program with The Women of SNL.
Blog DVD Review: GCB - The Complete First Season (ABC Studios, $39.99)
Relive all 10 episodes of the addicting GCB on a three-disc set from ABC Studios packed with bonus features in this divinely decadent box set! From Darren Star, creator of Sex And The City, and Robert Harling, comes a deliciously fun, wicked drama that shows a girl can go home again...but only if she's ready to face the sins of her past. Back in high school, original mean girl Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb) mercilessly tormented her less attractive classmates. Twenty years later, after her hubby is busted for a Ponzi scheme – and meets his maker in a particularly scandalous way – a disgraced Amanda is back in Dallas to start life anew under her mother's (Annie Potts) palatial roof. But will the good women of her hometown welcome her with open arms or dole out some kick-ass karmic payback? Let's just say, hell hath no fury like the cosmetically enhanced!
The season stars Leslie Bibb as Amanda Vaughn, Kristin Chenoweth as Carlene Cockburn, Annie Potts as "Gigi" Stopper, Jennifer Aspen as Sharon Peacham, Miriam Shor as Cricket Caruth-Reilly, Marisol Nichols as Heather Cruz, David James Elliott as Ripp Cockburn, Mark Deklin as Blake Reilly and Brad Beyer as Zack Peacham. However, there are many recurring stars such as Tyler Jacob Moore as Pastor John Tudor, Eric Winter as Luke Lourd, and Bruce Boxleitner as Burl Lourd. Other guest stars include Tom Everett Scott as Andrew Remington, Kevin Alejandro as Danny, Grant Bowler as Mason Massey, Sheryl Crow as Herself, Sandra Bernhard as Debbie Horowitz and Donna Mills as Bitsy Lourd. The series aired for 10 episodes this past season and didn't deliver in the ratings as it could have. It was consistent though and everyone thought ABC would still bring it back for a second season. However, ABC canceled the series in May. I think ABC should have brought it back as a mid-season entry for another 10 episodes or even as a summer series. It is good fun and great looking stars, especially Leslie Bibb!
Anyway, as for this set, there are many memorable episodes in this comedic and Texan series. All ten episodes have to be seen in pretty much order as they are all connected but it is less serialized than most shows. The series starts off with the episode "Pilot," where Amanda, the mean girl in high school, returns home after a divorce scandal and death and Amanda has to turn to her mother, Gigi, for help, but the thing is that Amanda is not anymore the girl she was 20 years ago and wants a new start, but soon finds out that its not easy to escape your past. In "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing," when Carlene's Uncle Burl returns with his wife, Gigi throws them a homecoming party, while Blake recruits Amanda to consult for Cricket and Blake's denim line, while Pastor Tudor counsels Sharon and Zack, and Heather is after Burl's 500 acres of land for her client, Andrew. In "Forbidden Fruit," with a little help from her new love interest, Heather is able to get Sheryl Crow to perform at the annual church fundraiser, while Amanda and Carlene find a new reason not to get along. In "Pride Comes Before a Fall," Amanda helps Pastor Tudor set up the annual musical, however things don't go as planned when old high school behavior comes out to play. On the very fun season finale "Revelation," Carlene and the rest of the ladies run into danger when they go to Juarez for a groundbreaking ceremony, while Amanda's suspicions about Luke lead to a discovery about Ripp.
Episodes are usually around 43 minutes and unedited, as they should be. Runtimes are below:
1. "Pilot" (42:56)
2. "Hell Hath No Fury" (42:34)
3. "Love is Patient" (43:03)
4. "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" (43:03)
5. "Forbidden Fruit" (43:04)
6. "Turn the Other Cheek" (42:49)
7. "Sex is Devine" (43:02)
8. "Pride Comes Before a Fall" (42:57)
9. "Adam & Eve's Rib" (43:01)
10. "Revelation" (43:02)
The DVD comes in a case held by an outer thin box. The thin outer box is in white and pink with a very cool shot of the six female leads and the series logo is on top and the complete first season mention above that. The back of the thin outer box has info on the set and series, with a nice quote from Zap2it.com. We have seven very cool episodic photos. There is also a box showcasing the bonus features as well. When we remove the outer box, we get to the case. The case has the same artwork as the thin box, both cover and back, so everything is the exact same. Inside the case we have more episodic images on the panels itself. There is also a disc-by-disc breakdown below the photos on the panels listing episode titles per disc. As for the discs themselves, disc one is on a little plastic holder that you can flip like a page in a book. Disc two is on the back of that little plastic holder, while disc three is on the right panel itself. All three discs are in grey with the series logo and a character. Disc one holds episodes 1-4 with an image of Amanda, disc two holds episodes 5-7 with a shot of Carlene and disc three holds episodes 8-10 with a shot of Gigi, Sharon, Heather and Cricket. There is also an insert booklet showcasing other ABC TV DVDs that are coming soon like Once Upon a Time and Revenge, and it is placed on the left panel.
The menu design is heavenly! We start off with the church doors openings with a ray of sunlight then we are zoomed to the colored windows of the church where there are different images. We also have church background music from the show playing. Before the main menu, we have auto trailers. On disc one we have trailers for Castle Season 4, ABC TV DVDs coming this summer, and the theatrical movie Odd Life of Timothy Green. Disc three has trailers for more ABC TV on DVD. Back to the main menu, the options are: Play All, Episode Selection, Bonus Features, Set Up and Sneak Peeks. Sneak Peeks is only on disc three and has the same trailers as the auto trailer on disc three. Set Up gives us the option for subtitles in English, French, Espanol, and Portuguese. You can also register your DVD here. Bonus Features lists what is available on that particular disc, while Episode Selection gives us an episode number and title. All this is sort of similar to other recent ABC TV DVDs like Scandal.
Video and audio quality are both outstanding, similar to other recent ABC TV DVDs we have reviewed like Missing. We have Digital Dolby 5.1 surround sound and it is perfect. For the video, we are in widescreen (1.78:1), enhanced for 16x9 televisions. It is excellent quality but that is expected for newer/current series. As I keep saying, if anything goes wrong with audio/video for current series, then there is a major problem. Each episode has anywhere between 6-9 chapter stops, so it is easy to jump through an episode if you are looking for something in particular. Not sure why there is such a different amount of chapter stops per episode, but anything to find sexy scenes with Leslie Bibb! In general, nothing out of the ordinary here but it is all perfectly done.
There are some special features on this set as well and I think the best set so far for the ABC TV DVDs this summer! We have features on every disc. Discs one and two only have deleted scenes and audio commentaries, but this is great! Disc one has five deleted scenes for about 5 1/2 minutes worth: (episode 101: 0:25, 0:36, and 2:42; episode 102: 1:35; and episode 103: 0:20). Also on disc one we have audio commentary for the "Pilot" from Robert Harling (creator/executive producer/writer), Leslie Bibb and Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts (executive producers), as we get cool facts and insight. Leslie Bibb sounds so fun! Moving on to disc two, we have three deleted scenes for about 2:45: (episode 105: 0:42, episode 106: 1:30, and episode 107: 0:29). Then we have audio commentary for "Sex Is Divine" from Leslie Bibb, Brad Beyer and Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts.
Moving on to disc three, that is where the bulk of the special features are. First, we have two more deleted scenes for about 2:00: (episode 109: 1:25 and episode 110: 0:35). So in all, we had eight of the ten episodes with deleted scenes...pretty good! We have one final audio commentary here, too, this time for "Pride Comes Before A Fall" from Robert Harling, Leslie Bibb, Mark Deklin and Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts. Bibb, Berg and Harberts did all three! On to the featurettes, we have "Living Large" (9:24). Stars along with production designer Denny Dugally, take viewers along for an exclusive tour of the world of GCB, showcasing how the Texas spirit is vividly. Interviewed are Annie Potts, Miriam Shor, Marisol Nichols, Leslie Bibb, Robert Harling, Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts, Denny Dugally, Jennifer Aspen, and Kristin Chenoweth. The next featurette is "Bigger in Texas" (9:48), where fans can watch the transformations the actresses go through from hair to makeup, and more. Also, costume designer Robert Blackman describes each of the GCB's Dallas style with a show-and-tell that highlights each character's unique look. Interviewed are Robert Harling, Kristin Chenoweth, Marisol Nichols, Jennifer Aspen, Miriam Shor, Leslie Bibb, Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts, Annie Potts, Lauran Irion, Michael Reitz (department head, hair), Victor Nelli, Jr. (executive producer), Mark Deklin, Brad Beyer, David James Elliott, and Aaron Kaplan (executive producer). Then it is time to go to church with "Preaching to the Choir" (6:46) where fans will enjoy a visit to the set and a conversation with Kristin Chenoweth, Miriam Shor and the rest of the cast as they sing and share insight as to why music is so important to the series. Along with Chenoweth and Shor, interviewed are Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts, Robert Harling, Marisol Nichols, Tyler Jacob Moore, Victor Nelli Jr., and Mark Deklin. And we're still not done! Next we have "GCB Most Likely To..." (5:52) as this piece offers fans the opportunity to get to know the cast in this irreverent collection of thoughts from the team behind the show...from "Best Dressed" to "Class Clown," fans will see what the cast really thinks of one another. Interviewed are Kristin Chenoweth, Jennifer Aspen, Leslie Bibb, Marisol Nichols, Brad Beyer, Robert Harling, Tyler Jacob Moore, Miriam Shor, David James Elliott, Lauran Irion and Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts. And finally we have Bloopers (3:34) where we see all the flubs and also some quotes from scriptures! Fitting!
This is a nicely done set for a series that surprisingly ended. It's a quick turnaround like for other ABC TV DVDs that came out in May and June! The series just aired its series finale on May 6 and this DVD was released on June 12! Unfortunately ABC canceled it at their upfront in May, so it will not be returning and I was kind of shocked. As for the DVD, it is well done and similar to previous ABC TV DVDs this summer but I think it has the best special features. We get great audio/video, menus, packaging and special features. I think the special features are above average for something with only 10 episodes. We essentially have everything...featurettes, deleted scenes, audio commentaries and bloopers! ABC Studios knows how to make good DVDs, especially for their current series. Even though this show is done, you should still watch it and see all the zany antics. It's not offending at all, as some think it is without even watching. It's all in fun and they do a great job of it. This show was just good fun and had an attractive cast. Chenoweth could have been nominated for an Emmy eventually and Leslie Bibb is must-see and I hope ABC puts her on an existing show this coming season. I really recommend you order this DVD. It is very well done! I'm sure girls will want it to see Mark Deklin or Eric Winter and the guys for Leslie Bibb. And remember, you can always go back home!

CLICK OF THE WEEK
Game Show Central (www.gscentral.com) - We've decided to go in for a little bit of fun and games for the summer this week, and present a few game show websites as the Click of the Week over the next few weeks. This week, we visit Game Show Central. The website is another one of those older websites out there (having been in existence for over a decade), and although edits and updates have been a bit sparse in recent years, it is still an excellent resource for fans of game shows, particularly fans of The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and Press You Luck.
We start with The Price is Right. The website has a very thorough directory, with photos and rules of game play, of all (well, updated through late 2010 at least) pricing games on the series, even the ones which were retired almost immediately. You can also get a glimpse into other variations of the series around the world. The Wheel of Fortune section is a bit less extensive, but it includes a timeline of the series along with plenty of video clips. The strongest feature of the website, though, is the section dedicated to Press Your Luck. The section looks back at all variations of the series, gives a complete history of the series, and gives us a look into some of the memorable contestants of the series (something which the series had quite a few of), including Michael Larson, the unemployed ice cream truck driver who really won big bucks by memorizing the lighting pattern on the show... only to have his winnings stolen (he wisely decided to store the money in his own home in one dollar bills) once he went home. It would be nice to see this website revived a bit, and updated more often, but what stands here is still an excellent website, our Click of the Week.
That's it for this week. Until next time, keep it digital!
