Drinking Quotes
I've been drinking tequila for a long time now, and it's never been about drinking to get drunk. I don't do that. I never drink tequila during the day, and I don't drive at night.
Rise Above Quotes
I see couples fighting about the stupidest things. You just have to rise above everything.
The reason I didn't fly over from Maui at their beck and call is my wife was about to have a baby at any time. Those guys knew that. These guys would not compromise and meet me halfway.
Sometimes you're afraid to fall in love with a chick, but she sucks you in anyway.
Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new.
Judging Quotes
I've never met or spoken to David Lee Roth, yet it's rather ironic that even he's saying Eddie's lying about things. I'm saying he's not telling the truth, yet Eddie insists that the two of us are lying! You be the judge.
I think all the bad blood started when Geffen released a greatest hits package of my solo stuff.
Running Quotes
If you don't ever stop singing, your voice stays in shape. It's like the marathon runner. You've got to run, run, run to stay in shape.
I looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
Baby Quotes
We needed time off from each other after our last tour because there was a lot of personal stuff we had to take care of. Eddie needed hip replacement surgery. Al needed his back worked on. And I was going to have a baby.
Pieces Quotes
I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.
Good Things Quotes
It's a good thing I don't read everything Eddie says, or I'd be up in arms and not enjoying my life.
Notes Quotes
If I would go up on a high note, Eddie would want a low one. That's how petty the situation had become.
Ems Quotes
In Van Halen there were moments, like in some of the ballads, I put my heart and soul into those records. Those lyrics when I sang 'em, I gave myself goosebumps.
Would Be Quotes
All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be, then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way.
Careers Quotes
If I would have ever dreamed that I wouldn't be in Van Halen anymore and was going to have resume my solo career again, I would have never contributed anything towards my own greatest hits package.
Albums Quotes
When we were on the road, I found out that my greatest hits album went Gold. They freaked out. Things really came to a head when we started arguing about a Van Halen greatest hits package.
Overall, we had about 50 meetings where the brothers would say that I couldn't do any solo records, I couldn't write for other people, I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that. These guys were trying to nail my feet to the ground.
Feels Quotes
I'm still raising kids myself, so I don't feel like a grandpa
Boxes Quotes
I've never done a box set, and Eddie's full of it if he says otherwise.
Stars Quotes
Dave was great in Van Halen. No question about it. He was one of the best at being Mr. Rock Star. But it's sickening to see a guy still trying to be that with a wig on 20 years later.
I didn't think I'd be around 30 years later
Opposites Quotes
Everything that Eddie has said about me is the total opposite of what really happened. Eddie says I wanted to be a solo artist. No, Eddie wanted to be a solo artist.
Dark Quotes
I don't want to talk about negative, dark things. The only thing I've got against stuff like Marilyn Manson is, they make unbelievable videos and unbelievable images.
I'm John Lee Hooker in the sense that he was a blues man and he played blues his whole life. I'm a rock guy and I'm going to play rock music my whole life.
Cds Quotes
When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.
Player Quotes
It's hard to say this about a guy like Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived, but he's really limited to a style and they're locked into it.
I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me.
Song Quotes
I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.
American Musician Quotes
When they brought Roth back into the picture, obviously I didn't go along with that too well.
If they called me up, I would puke.
Bass Quotes
He just was the most humble rock star I have ever met, besides having the best hands of any bass player in the history of rock and roll,
Our manager had promised me that after we finished the Twister project, that was it. I told him point blank that we needed a break from each other.
My only commitment to Geffen was a week's worth of press in New York, plus a week in Los Angeles,and that would end my involvement.
Strong Quotes
Valerie is a pretty strong woman. She's not intimidated.
When Eddie and Alex got wind of what was going down with my greatest hits record, they called my attorney. They thought something was up.
To stay a great singer or guitar player, you've got to do it 24/7. That's what I do.
Horrible Quotes
It was a horrible way to end the whole thing, ... So, I just say, 'Man, that's it for me. I'm not playing with people like this.'
Average Quotes
Seeing what kind of person Dave is, now I know why they have never been able to do the reunion with him because he is unreasonable, ... He's a complete nut. He is not an average bear. He's on the moon. He's unreasonable and he's shot.
Almost Quotes
It's kind of a groovy record, ... It's almost a little retro. It's not '80s-type fist-in-the-air Sammy Hagar -- well, a couple of songs are always like that because that's where I came from -- but it's almost more '70s rock.
Drawn Quotes
It was just way too drawn out. I can't work like that.
I don't like dragging kids, young kids especially, through the darkness because I believe in positive. Yin and yang, black or white. I'm an up guy.
I've had my fill of "One Way To Rock" or "I Can't Drive 55." Those are guy songs to me, and I'm cool with that. But when you write a great love song and you start seeing that 50 percent of your audience is beautiful women, that's much more rewarding, than having a bunch of guys out there.
Choices Quotes
I'm the only choice to make a record. And that's the only way I would do it. We'd have to make some new music. The fans deserve it. Van Halen's got some of the best fans on the planet.
Good Love Quotes
I always liked a good love song and, I dig being in love.
Philosophy Quotes
I had been reading this book about Zen Koan philosophy, and it was talking about the right here and the right now, and how important it is, and I was really trying to get there in my life.
You could be in the gutter and fall in love with someone, and you feel great. That's my honest opinion. I've witnessed both sides of that fence and being in love is where it's at.
Artist Quotes
When I want to go be Chickenfoot, I go out and I'm the artist. It's all musical.
This is pop music. You've got a candidate for president of the United States using it, that's hitting the biggest audience you're ever going to hit in your entire friggin' life. And you don't want that? Bullshit. That's what you want. It's not even for success or fortune, it's because that's the power of the song.
Sleep Quotes
There are a lot of people going around where an alien took over their body, and their soul will actually leave and be, like, in a sleep or in a near-death situation.
"Love Walks In," it was the same thing. That song is about aliens, by the way.
True Man Quotes
Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.
Long Quotes
I just have a vision of something, and it seems to go a long way. One thought goes a long way.
I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like "Love Walks In," I can do it.
I'm a co-writer, publisher of that song ["Right Now" ], so for it to get accepted, we had to sign off on it. I signed off in a second. "You bet that anyone can use this. I don't care. You can use it for anything." If it is to inspire people in the positive sense.
I feel it's such a tragic thing [Kurt Cobain's suicide]. Here is a guy, a young guy, that had everything in his hands. He could have had a great life. He had a wife, he had a child, he had a fantastic career. He was important to a generation. And for him to do that - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong.
Kind Quotes
You just went up and started playing, the audience got into it, and it was just a great high experience. That's what I kind of invented with "Mas Tequila" in Cabo.
I really think that Van Halen has two choices if they want to continue. And maybe they don't want to continue, because they don't seem to do much
Van Halen Quotes
That song ["Don't Tell Me"] didn't take us anywhere, and I know why now. It wasn't what Van Halen fans wanted. It showed the darkness of Van Halen, and basically the end of the band.
It took me a long time to put it to use in things, but the name of my publishing company is Nine Music, and "Red" became my theme song.
Dream Quotes
Everybody has weird dreams, but a usual weird dream is, okay, so your mom's driving a car and she's a dog.
I've always been into writing love songs.
The downloads, the licensing, commercials, radio - it's made me more money than any song I've ever written, and it only went to No. 26. It wasn't a big hit at all. But it's a career song ["I Can't Drive 55"].
Rock Star Quotes
I was really wanting to be a rock star. I was saying, "I am going to have a fancy car, I got to have fancy clothes, and I have got to play the whole role." Obviously, I meant business.
Team Quotes
Ted Templeman, the producer, and Donn Landee, the engineer, are the same team that signed Van Halen, when they were called Mammoth. Donn convinced them to change it to the last name of the guitar player and drummer.
I had been in Africa for six weeks on a safari with my family. I said, "You know, I made a lot of money. I am getting kind of burned out. I really want to do something special." So I went on this extended trip to Egypt, Kenya, Sardinia - I really did it, man. I was coming home, and while I was gone, they changed the speed limit from 65 to 55.
I've always been kind of a speed demon.
I'm a songwriter. I've got ideas in the closet that just didn't work out with my band, that I think, "This is a great idea, it's just the wrong guys."
Love Affair Quotes
I would rather sing about my love affair or about a woman or to a woman than some guys any day.
Trying Quotes
I don't want to try to force anything, because I'm really happy with Chickenfoot; my new record with them is phenomenal.
I'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.
I was going through troubles with my marriage, and I was just trying to focus and center myself. I was already rich and famous. I've got to figure out where I want to go and just get this thing aimed. I wrote this song ["Right Now"] and I kept singing it every day .
Ruth Montgomery had a book I was reading called Aliens Among Us. She was an automatic writer. She used to go into a trance, and she would just start typing information, and then she would come out of her trance and read it and go, "Wow," and that was just the way she wrote her books.
We always sold 4 or 5 million records no matter what we did.
Decision Quotes
While I was in Montrose, the publishing checks went into the band's coffers. This was our management's decision; we were just financing ourselves on the road.
Crazy Quotes
I was kind of always attracted to red. I used to wear red socks a lot for some crazy reason.
Making Money Quotes
If you have a higher reason ... than just to make money... it will bring you longer fulfillment. And it won't feel like work.
After I had my dream, I got into numerology. Like my buddy's name is Bill, and I would say, "B is a two, and each I is a nine, and the L's are fours. And that's eight." I would figure out everybody's numerological single-digit number.
When I did red, it was nine, and that was it for me. I said, "Here I am - nine is my number and red is my color, and I'm in business now."
I loved that song ["Don't Tell Me"], but man, it was dark. That song did nothing for Van Halen.
I'd love to be abducted. I'd sit on my deck at home waiting all night long to be abducted. But that's never happened that I know of.
Singers Quotes
I think love could have saved Kurt Cobain.
I can be singing about cat food and I'll make you think that I mean it.
Enlightening Quotes
I would like to enlighten people.
Explanation Quotes
Yes, I'm looking at you, looking at me, looking at you, looking at me, looking back at you.
Rolling Stones Quotes
Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled, I've been Rolling Stoned.
I was loud and electric at night, got all shook up with Elvis.
People Quotes
I wish I would have known Kurt Cobain. I would have been the first guy there to get him help, doing anything I could have. I just felt like the people around him kind of let him down.
Cutting Quotes
The good thing about breaking up is that you have nothing else to lose.
Suicide Quotes
And for him [Kurt Cobain] to do that [suicide] - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong. It just sent a bad message to a troubled generation.
Eye Quotes
"Rock Candy" was my first record. I had never been in a studio, so I was in shock and I had no idea if it was great or if it stunk. I was just putting in my heart and soul, and closing my eyes and keeping my fingers crossed. I gave it everything.
Write me up for 125, poster my face wanted dead or alive. Take my license all that jive, I can't drive 55.
I'd say it ["I Can't Drive 55"] has probably been the most successful song I've ever been involved with, including any Van Halen songs.
When I woke up from that dream, brother, I was like, "Okay, I've got to know what that was, what happened." That was not an average dream. I've had some dreams in my days, but not like that. It was way too vivid. Looking back, the reason that dream makes more sense today than it did then is, we are in a digital world. Back then, it was an analog world. Everything was digital in the dream.
Mines Quotes
Stop looking out, start looking in. Be your own best friend. Stand up and say, hey, this is mine!
Alcohol Quotes
So many things can get you high, I'm gonna try them all just once before I die.

Does Apple patent claim show iPad with built-in camera?
Cupertino drops heavy clues
Kelly Fiveash Thu 4 Feb 2010 // 14:37 UTC
A strong hint that Apple will indeed include a camera in subsequent versions of the super-hyped iPad was revealed in an "image capturing device" patent application submitted by the company late last month, The Register has learned.
USPTO patent application 20100020222 strongly alludes to the inclusion of a camera - not just in its popular iPhone - but also in a device "such as a laptop, tablet, or handheld computer."
The patent claim - 'Image Capturing Device with Touch Screen for Adjusting Camera Settings' - was submitted by Jeremy Jones, Nikhil Bhogal and Ralph Brunner on behalf of Cupertino-based Apple on 5 June last year and published on 28 January 2010.
It details how the firm's "portable, handheld" devices operate a built-in camera.
Diagrams accompanying Apple's US patent application mainly show drawings of the iPhone as an example of the methods used to manage camera settings in the Jobsian gizmo.
Apple example of a 'portable handheld multifunction device' in which the invention could be implemented
Indeed, the claim makes no mention of the iPad by name. However, several times Apple reiterates that the invention "embodies" what it describes as "generally related to image capturing electronic devices, having a touch sensitive screen for controlling camera functions and settings."
In other words that scope extends beyond the iPhone and applies to Apple's range of portable devices, which now of course includes the puffed up but not yet tested iPad.
Furthermore, Apple added the following belts and braces disclaimer to its patent claim:
"The invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. There are numerous other variations to different aspects of the invention described above, which in the interest of conciseness have not been provided in detail. Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the claims."
At launch, many grumbled that Apple's latest webby toy lacked a built-in camera.
That may look set to change with future editions of the iPad, that is if we've correctly interpreted the semantics in Apple's patent claim.
Meanwhile, clues that the iPad will indeed, one day, come loaded with a camera surfaced earlier this week when Mission:Repair blog claimed it had been shipped some parts used to repair the device.
They received a metal internal iPad frame with what appeared to be a "spot" for a camera, which, when tested with a standard camera unit taken from a Unibody MacBook, it slotted neatly into the gap.
"The camera slips in the frame, the lens fits in the hole, the LED that indicates that the camera is on, fits, and the ambient light sensor hole is also correct. It appears that the plans to have camera in the iPad is a reality," said the Apple repair shop.
Apple for its part is remaining characteristically quiet. El Reg asked the firm if it was in the process of building a camera into subsequent versions of the iPad, the first generation of which will hit US retail in March this year.
"I'm afraid we don't comment on rumour or speculation," said a company spokeswoman. ®

Benjamin Britten (1913 - 1976)
Benjamin Britten must be accepted as the most outstanding English composer working in the mid-20th century. He won a significant international reputation while remaining thoroughly English in inspiration, a feat that his immediate predecessors had been unable fully to achieve.
Britten won a triumph in 1945 with his opera Peter Grimes, first staged when Sadler's Wells Theatre in London reopened after the Second World War. The aspirations of the central character, the fisherman Peter Grimes, a man at odds with the community in which he lives, are frustrated by a combination of social pressure and sheer chance, leading to his suicide. The drama is set against the background of the sea, in various moods, summarised in Four Sea Interludes, whichforms an evocative piece of concert repertoire. Britten's subsequent operas include works on a smaller scale for his English Opera Group: The Rape of Lucretia, Albert Herring and The Turn of the Screw. Billy Budd and the coronation opera Gloriana were followed by A Midsummer Night's Dream, the television opera Owen Wingrave, and the remarkable operatic version of Thomas Mann's Death in Venice. His three church parables draw inspiration from Japan and from their medieval setting. All these works constitute a very significant element in international dramatic and operatic repertoire. An early collaboration with the poet WH Auden, Paul Bunyan, was staged in New York in 1941, to be revised in 1974 for publication.
The best known of all Britten's orchestral music must be Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell (more generally known under its popular title The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra), a work that is both a tribute to the great 17th-century English composer Henry Purcell and a useful teaching piece. Lachrymae, subtitled 'Reflections on a Theme of Dowland', is a tribute to a still earlier predecessor, the lutenist John Dowland; arranged by the composer shortly before his death from its original viola and piano version, it is immensely moving. The early Matinées Musicales, based on the music of Rossini, is an attractive piece, and the Simple Symphony for string orchestra, based on tunes written by the composer in childhood, is a useful element in string orchestra repertoire. Britten's Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, written in 1937, serves as a brilliant tribute to his teacher, and his Piano Concerto and Violin Concerto come from the same period. His Cello Symphony was written in 1963 for his friend, the Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich.
Vocal and Choral Music
Britten was strongly influenced in his music and in his life by the tenor Peter Pears. For him he wrote a quantity of songs, including the splendid Serenade for tenor, horn and strings and the evocative Nocturne (both incomparable settings of the words of various English poets), as well as several other settings of poets (from Michelangelo to Thomas Hardy) for tenor and piano. His folksong arrangements have pleased a wide audience. Major choral works include the War Requiem, which combines the text of the Latin Requiem with the war poems of Wilfred Owen and forms an expression of Britten's own pacifism. His Ceremony of Carols, settings accompanied by solo harp and designed, as were some other works, for boys' voices, marked his return from America to wartime England in 1942.
Britten's chamber music includes a cello sonata and three cello suites for his friend Rostropovich, a fine suite for the Welsh harpist Osian Ellis, and Nocturnal after John Dowland for the guitarist Julian Bream. Of his three numbered string quartets, Quartet No 2 was written to mark the 250th anniversary of the death of Purcell, who provides the quartet's inspiration.

Inadequate Training or Staffing: Teachers or aids who do not have adequate training for defense in violent situations, or who are unprepared to avoid an attack, will suffer injuries such as biting, scratching, punching or kicking. Additionally, if a school or event is understaffed, teachers are left alone, when they would be much safer with a helper in dangerous situations. This is especially true when a student is bigger than a teacher or aid, such as a high school or college student.
Safety While Traveling: Students may be feeling vulnerable on a bus or in a travel situation because of the change in environment. Bus drivers and on-board staff are at risk due to the movement of the vehicle, the enclosed space and the close proximity of the student to other passengers. School busses and transportation often require additional staff to accompany special needs student for this reason.
Injured by a Student While at Work? We Can Help.
It is an unfortunate truth that educators and employees who work with special needs children are more likely to get hurt on the job due to student inflicted injuries. Special education teachers are exposed to dangerous situations more often than their standard education counterparts. You deserve to have the medical attention and care needed for on the job trauma and injury. Our Glendale workers' compensation attorneys are ready to help you seek the compensation that you need to cover your expenses and possible lost wages due to an on the job injury.

The Best and Worst Movies of the 2019 Sundance Film Festival
By Jason Bailey
The Sundance Film Festival closed up shop yesterday, ending 11 days of premieres, competition, and deal-making — and leaving festival-goers and critics to contemplate the independent, foreign, and documentary films that will likely dominate those landscapes for the months to come. Your film editor was among them, and I came away with a strange sense of disappointment; I didn't fly out of Park City feeling like I'd seen films that I'd still be talking about a year from now, the way I did after experiencing You Were Never Really Here or Private Life last year. Then again, it's all a crap shoot at these big festivals; due to assignments or poor choices, there's a very good chance I just didn't see the best stuff. (The festival awards were dominated by things I missed.) And it's not like I saw a lot of bad stuff anyway; most of the films I made it to were good-to-great. So here are some thoughts on those:
(Sundance Institute)
BIO-DOCS Sundance's non-fiction slate has, for the past several years, boasted more than a few feature-length profiles of interesting people — last year's slate included the summer doc smashes RBG and Won't You Be My Neighbor?. These films rarely break the mold stylistically, but often succeed in engaging and enlightening.
Early in Janice Engel's profile of the beloved (and reviled) political commentator, we see her explain why she got into journalism: "To do good and raise hell and learn." She did all three. This masterfully cut and endlessly funny documentary tells a uniquely American story, and a mini-history of contemporary journalism to boot, following Ivins through various gigs and markets, watching her try (and often fail) to find her place, before settling in as a columnist who became the single most incisive critic of George W. Bush and his administration. But the genius of Engel's approach is its refusal to cast itself as history, and its best passages intercut her political theory with specific, modern examples. In doing so, she brings Ivins' words from the past into the present — where we need them more than ever.
Where's My Roy Cohn?
In considering the rancid garbage fire that our country has become, it's not only easy but trite to make big pronouncements like, "To understand Trump, you have to understand Roy Cohn." But in this case, it's a direct line: Trump met the legendary junkyard dog lawyer at 23 and considered him a mentor, and his lessons are clear: attack, fight, smear, divert, and never admit you're wrong. This jam-packed, intelligent bio-doc from director Matt Tyrauner (Studio 54) hits the expected high points — the Rosenbergs, the Army-McCarthy hearings, the rise to power in New York City, his closeted lifestyle and death from AIDS-related illness — but the archival interviews and contemporaneous coverage are still shocking and powerful. This is a scorching portrait of a real S.O.B., and an insightful analysis of the darkness he represents.
VERY GOOD DOCS
Memory – The Origins of 'Alien'
Alexandre O. Philippe, director of the Psycho shower scene examination 78/52, is back with another deep-dive for film nerds, this time delving into the making of Ridley Scott's influential 1979 sci-fi/horror classic. The more direct subject can make this one feel, at times, like a Blu-ray bonus feature, but Philippe keeps his fluidity and peculiarity intact, not only contextualizing the film's creation and release, but delving into the many influences — everything from forgotten comic books to Greek mythology — that manifested themselves in Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett's screenplay. Rich with new and archival interviews, rare footage and sketches, and enlightening comparison shots, it's still definitely for fans (and fans with deep familiarity) of Alien. But boy are they gonna love this.
The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley
A few years back, medical "disrupter" Elizabeth Holmes was showing up on magazine covers and at presidential forums, and her company Theranos was valued at nearly $10 billion. "Four years later, it was worth less than zero," intones director/narrator Alex Gibney, whose documentary is a post-mortem of a fraud, conducted with surgical precision. He dives deep into the specifics of this company and its CEO/founder, detailing how she fooled investors and influencers, the jaw-dropping secrecy and paranoia that kept the ruse going, and breathtaking speed with which the entire house of cards collapsed. Gibney lays it all out with his usual investigative acumen, but doesn't stop there; this is also a sly indictment of how big tech is reported on — and often valorized. And that problem isn't going anywhere, anytime soon.
Shooting the Mafia
Sicilian photographer Letizia Battaglia took striking, forceful images, alternating Weegee-style crime photography with portraits of the poverty and grief left in the wake of that crime. Much of it was organized by the Mafia, and Battaglia loved to upset the power dynamic therein; "Mafia men were so arrogant," she recalls, "imagine how they felt, being photographed by a woman!" Director Kim Longinotto gives equal time to her colorful past (wittily illustrated with old movie clips) and her photographic philosophy; the result is a a thoughtful examination of this legacy of crime, told by an up-close-and-personal observer.
THE BIG BUYS Amazon was the big spender at Sundance this year, making lucrative deals in pursuit of the next Manchester By The Sea or The Big Sick. Will this year's potential crowd-pleasers live up to the payouts?
Jillian Bell is a stick of dynamite — immediately likable and immediately funny saying damn near anything — and for its first hour or so, Brittany Runs a Marathon looks like the ideal starring vehicle for her specific gifts, telling the story of a New Yorker in an rut (bad health, bad job, bad life) who decides to get her act together. You like her, and root for her, even when (in a nice twist) writer/director Paul Downs Colaizzo turns her into a bit of a jerk. But he seems to surrender to formula in the back stretch, which is a huge disappointment; it's certainly not the first wild comedy to take itself too seriously, but the near-total absence of jokes is odd and distressing, transforming a sharp personality comedy into a serious self-help drama and then, weirdly, a New York marathon infomercial. But the pieces that work, really work — hopefully it will inspire someone to write Bell the full-scale comedy vehicle she deserves.
International treasure Emma Thompson and reliably delightful Mindy Kaling team for this inside showbiz comedy about long-running talk show host Katherine Newbury (Thompson) who is on the verge of a network dismissal, and Molly (Kaling) the "diversity hire" for her all-male, all-white writers' room that helps turn it around. In its rhythms, joke rapidity, and flat style, "Late Night" feels very much like a movie made by TV people. But that's also a virtue — this feels like a story told from the inside out, wise to the ways of the industry. Thompson is glorious, her crackerjack comic timing turning even her roughest lines into polished gems. (Full review here.)
Katrina Marcinowski
TEE-VEE Most big film festivals have, in recent years, taken advantage of the rise of television to fill out their slates. Sundance doesn't offer up as many as, say, SXSW or Tribeca, but what they had this year was choice.
"This show is f*cking insane," Gregg Araki announced in his introduction to the premiere of the first three episodes of his new STARZ series. "That they even let us do this? It's amazing." It's set in the Los Angeles entertainment industry, and it feels written from inside it; the scripts (written by Araki and Karley Sciortino) have this circle of wannabes and hustlers down cold. It starts out rough — the opening scenes are downright painful, and a couple of the roles were clearly cast for looks over skill (not a new issue for Mr. Araki). But once introductions are made and the director settles in, it's a lot of fun; quirky, unapologetically queer, and sex-positive (even when, quite entertainingly, exploring bad sex), it finds the right goofy, candy-coated vibe, and sticks with it.
This Jordan Peele-produced, four-part docu-series clearly exists because of O.J.: Made in America, and it's great for the same reason: it's a nuanced, up-close examination of a sleazy, tabloid-friendly story that was ultimately about more than it seemed. Because the story of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt wasn't just the smirky, easy punchline of a severed penis; it was about domestic abuse, marital rape, ethnic stereotypes, pseudo-celebrity, and much more. Director Joshua Rofé uses an inventive, informative structure, minimal and tasteful reenactments, well-chosen archival footage, and penetrating new interviews (and too many drone shots, but that's neither here nor there) to tell this messy, complicated story with clarity and purpose. It's a must-see.
ORDEALS Some movies are easier to watch than others. These are among the latter.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile
One of the many real news reports included in Joe Berlinger's Ted Bundy docudrama includes a description of the trial attendees as "spectators drawn by a fascination with the brutal details of the crime," and if that's not a cinematic subtweet, I don't know what is — particularly when Berlinger's companion Bundy Netflix docu-series dropped the same weekend as Extremely Wicked's Sundance debut. Our current true crime obsession means trivializing these acts, and it's tempting to say that this film does the same thing, fixating as it does on the Dr. Jekyll domestic portion of his double life rather than the Mr. Hyde monster. But that's the point; this is a psychological profile, just as interested in Liz Kendall (Lily Collins), Bundy's long-time (and long-suffering) girlfriend. How does someone live a double life like this for so long? What's it like to stand by him during it? And, most importantly, what kind of residual guilt does one feel afterwards? These are compelling questions, and if Berlinger doesn't answer them all satisfactorily, there's plenty to chew on here.
The latest from director Jennifer Kent (The Babadook) is an unremittingly bleak and brutal work, full of horrifying images and a particular scene of violence and terror so ugly and haunting, it's hard to recommend the picture at all. But if you can withstand that, there's no questioning the skill and craft Kent displays here; she tells the story of a young woman's quest for revenge from a uniquely feminine perspective, placing her squarely in a world where every look and aside is a threat, even before those threats are carried out. Some of the flourishes are heavy-handed, and a key decision by the protagonist is left frustratingly unexplained and ill-defined. But there are scenes of real power here, and a lead performance by Aisling Franciosi that is impossible to shake.
GOOD TIMES And sometimes you just wanna have fun. These were fun.
Velvet Buzzsaw
The latest from Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler) is an L.A. art world satire, so there's something wonderfully unaware about an audience here, of all places, chuckling at the pretentious ideas, descriptions, and criticisms. And make no mistake, Gilroy is aiming at some very soft target. But there's a real nutjob playfulness to this one, a giddy willfulness to unexpectedly swerve off the road (literally, at one point), beginning in fairly straightforward territory before introducing elements that feel closer to Final Destination than any of his earlier work. Strong work by an enviable ensemble cast, with particular praise due to Daveed Diggs (who has one of the all-time great reaction shots) and Jake Gyllenhaal as an art critic who can't even turn it off at a funeral. ("What is with that cheesy organ music? And that casket, what is that color?")
Gurinder Chadha's story of a Pakistani teen in Thatcher's England who finds inspiration and solace in the music of Bruce Springsteen features one of the most joyful sequences in recent memory, a full-on dancing-in-the-streets musical number to "Born to Run" that hit me in the same way "Drive It Like You Stole It" did in Sing Street, three Sundances back. The rest of the movie doesn't live up to that sequence, but in all fairness, how could it?
Them That Follow
Earnest, and maybe a tad overwrought, this is nevertheless an affecting (and, frankly, sympathetic) portrait of backwoods fundamentalism — and I mean old-school, fire-and-brimstone, speaking in tongues, snake-waving fundamentalism. Alice Englert is Mara, the daughter of the local pastor (Walton Goggins), who gets herself into a bit of trouble with a boy outside the church, just as she's being married off to a bland dolt within it. Englert is an excellent vessel for this deeply empathetic movie (we're right there alongside her, all the way), and Goggins is terrific, capturing both the character's charisma and stubbornness. But the sharpest performance comes from Olivia Colman, who completely disappears into her portrait of the devout woman who mothers the community — and knows all its secrets.
BEST OF THE FEST (DOCUMENTARY)
Midnight Family
The health of the citizens of Mexico City is, increasingly, in the hands of a loose system of private ambulance companies (there are less than 50 government ambulances in the entire metropolis). Director Luke Lorentzen spotlights one of those companies, the family business of the Ochoas, adopting a fly-on-the-wall approach that captures the chaos of their accident scenes and the wait forever/go-go-go nature of their existence. It's a harrowing picture, not just in its fast pace and life-and-death stakes, but for the moral ambiguity of its protagonists, which becomes clearer the longer we ride along.
BEST OF THE FEST (NARRATIVE)
The Last Black Man in San Francisco
It is perhaps too easy to draw the line from Joe Talbot's Bay-based comedy drama to last year's Sundance hits Blindspotting (focusing, as it does, on a pair of wayward buddies) or Sorry to Bother You (particularly in its splashes of absurdist humor). But there's clearly something of note happening in San Francisco and Oakland that's giving us these aesthetically vibrant and emotionally charged work, and I say, let's see more of it. Jimmie Fails and Jonathan Majors take over Jimmie's recently-vacated childhood home ("What if we shouldn't be here?" "Who should be here? Some millionaire?"), but to front-page the plot is to sell the picture wrong; this is a quiet ode to outcasts, and director Talbot has a strange, funny way of seeing the world. What a rare, borderline-indescribable treat this movie is.

Seton Hall Outlasts St. John's In OT For 20th Win
Seton Hall celebrates at center court after the final whistle. Photo by Jason Schott.
Seton Hall notched their 20th victory of the season as they outlasted St. John's 81-74 on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.
20 wins usually is the magic number for an NCAA Tournament bid, and the Pirates are now 20-9 overall and 9-7 in the Big East, tying them with Butler for third in the conference.
St. John's has now dropped two straight after their magical four-game winning streak. They drop to 14-15 overall and 3-13 in the Big East, now in last place in the conference since DePaul beat Marquette on Saturday afternoon to improve their record to 4-12.
Seton Hall was led by Khadeen Carrington, who had 22 points on 7-16 from the field and 2-5 on three-pointers, with eight rebounds, six assists, and a steal.
Angel Delgado got another double-double, the 70th of his career and 20th on the season, as he had 14 rebounds on a superb 7-9 from the field and 13 rebounds. He suffered an apparent knee injury with 8:04 left in the second half when he missed a layup. It turned out not to be too serious and he was back a couple minutes later.
Myles Powell came close to a double-double of his own, as he had 18 points (5-17 FG, 1-11 on threes), eight rebounds, and six assists.
Myles Cale, who started in place of the injured Desi Rodriguez, had 10 points on 4-6 shooting, including a three, and two rebounds. Ismael Sanogo also had 10 points on 5-7 from the field, six rebounds, and an assist.
St. John's was led by Shamorie Ponds, who finished with 25 points. Just as it was Wednesday night at Marquette, he had a nice points total, but was kept in check as he shot 9-22 from the field and was 0-6 from behind the arc, with six assists, two rebounds, and two steals, as well as committing three turnovers.
Marvin Clark II had a double-double with 19 points on 8-12 from the field and 3-5 on threes, and 10 rebounds. He also had three steals and three turnovers.
This game was a very even battle, with seven lead changes and the score tied 15 times.
Seton Hall got the edge in the first half, powered by 12 points from Carrington and 10 from Delgado to take a 38-34 lead into halftime.
In the second half, the Pirates opened up a 63-58 lead on a Cale layup with 6:13 remaining.
Cale then basically gave it back as he fouled Ponds on a three-point attempt and Ponds drained all three free throws to make it 63-61.
Seton Hall made it a four-point game, 67-63 on a Powell jumper with 2:41 left.
St, John's came right back, as Clark drained a three right after that, and eventually tied it at 68 on a Ponds layup with 51 seconds left.
On Seton Hall's ensuing possession, Ponds was called for a reach-in foul on Powell with 38 seconds left.
This was a brutal call, as it was not clear Ponds ever got the hand in, and also with 38 seconds left, the referee should have kept the whistle in his pocket on a 50/50 play like that.
Powell went to the line and drained both free throws to make it 70-68 Seton Hall.
Powell then fouled Ponds as he went up for a shot with 16 seconds left, and Ponds made both free throws to tie it at 70.
Seton Hall had plenty of time to get a game-winning shot, but there play was very slow to develop and the ball wound up in Powell's hands and his three-point attempt rimmed out to send the game to overtime.
The extra period began with Delgado and Ponds trading baskets to start, followed by Delgado getting a layup to make it 74-72 Hall at the 4:00 mark.
St. John's then had three chances on their ensuing possession, as Clark and Ponds missed threes and Bashir Ahmed missed a layup.
The most consequential play happened with 1:02 left when Clark fouled Carrington with 1:02 left, and Carrington made both free throws to open up a five-point lead, 77-72.
Ponds then responded with a pair of free throws with 55 seconds left to make it 77-74, and Ahmed got to the line for a one-and-one with 28 seconds left, but he missed the first one.
St. John's then took too long to foul, as they should have immediately with the shot clock turned off by that point, and finally with 16 seconds left, they sent Carrington to the line to drain a pair and seal the victory.
Seton Hall outscored St. John's 11-4 in the overtime.
Seton Hall Head Coach Kevin Willard Quotebook by Jaden Daly of Daly Dose Of Hoops (Dalydoseofhoops.blogspot.com):
On Seton Hall's response to the past 72 hours, including the suspended game against Providence and Friday's report involving Tiny Morton and Isaiah Whitehead:
"I'm really proud of the way these guys focused in and were able to really restart their minds on Thursday, because we were playing so well Wednesday night when the game stopped, and then really a light practice yesterday. But we were very focused, and I think they really respect this St. John's team. We knew how good they've been playing, we knew how good they are, and then I think anytime you play at the Garden, you have to respect the greatest venue ever, and I knew these guys would come out and play their hardest."
On Friday's report being a factor:
"Absolutely nothing. It had nothing to do with them. They had -- these guys -- have practiced, we had a nice team meal and they played video games."
On the short turnaround between Providence and St. John's, and being a helpful factor in the Big East Tournament:
"I think these guys are pretty used to the quick turnaround by now. I think for the younger guys they were a little bit mentally tired, but Myles Cale did a phenomenal job, Sandro played really well, so I thought all of them really kind of bounced back nice."
On walk-on Philip Flory playing 17 minutes:
"When Desi went down, Myles (Cale) is technically his backup defensively and offensively, and Phil's the only one that really knows what he's doing from the offensive side from that spot -- whether it's zone, whether it's underneath out of bounds plays -- and I think we all have a lot of confidence in Phil when he's out there, because he's tough, he'll defend and rebound, and when he's open, he could make a shot."
On his reaction to Friday's report published by Pete Thamel of Yahoo:
"The school has put out a statement. The only thing I'll say is that we've already hired an outside law firm to come in and do an investigation, and as a staff and as the head coach, I am looking forward to having them come in. We're going to be 100 percent open, we're going to be 100 percent honest, and I have a lot of confidence in my staff and ourselves in what we've done in the past, and I'm glad the school has moved quickly on this so we can move on from it."
"I have no other comment besides that. I can't comment on anything else because there's nothing else to comment about. There's just nothing else. That's my comment. I've got great players in my program with great kids and a perfect graduation rate and guys doing a lot of great stuff. I like where my program is."
On whether he addressed the report with the players:
"No, I don't think we talked about that. When I walked into the locker room -- I mean, you can't get away from it, it's on ESPN, it's on FS1, it's everywhere -- but we're focused on this team and what we're doing, and I'm focused on -- I'm enjoying coaching these seniors the last few weeks I'm going to have them. I'm enjoying every second with them because I'm going to miss them tremendously, and that's our focus."
On confidence that people connected to ASM sports are involved with this group of Seton Hall players:
"Again, I'm not going to comment on that. The only thing that I've seen is the Yahoo report, and I don't know -- there's no other facts or details about anything else out there -- so I can't comment on that, and I can't comment on something -- we haven't done our investigation and there's nothing to do. We were confident, we went through an investigation one other time early on that came out clear, and we'll go through it again. I'm confident -- again -- we'll come out, everything that we did and that we're supposed to do, we did the right way."
On Ismael Sanogo's defense on Shamorie Ponds:
"We tried to hide the big fella a little bit because they went small, and I think they really did a good job of kind of switching. We moved Angel around so they couldn't just get Angel in a pick-and-roll, which is tough when they're that small, and obviously Ish is; as we think, one of the best defenders in the country and Shamorie's one of the best guards, so it was a good matchup."
On Angel Delgado sitting out in practice:
"We didn't practice this week, so -- we played four games, technically, this week -- we played Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. We'll take off tomorrow, he'll practice Monday, he probably won't practice Tuesday that much, but no one really practices much this time of year days before a game. But he likes to practice, I like when he's out of practice because he really is a pain in the butt in practice, (joking) but for the most part, I think his knee's doing pretty good. His shoulder's a little banged up, but for the most part, I think he's playing pretty well."
On Seton Hall's senior class accomplishments being vacated and any possible concern:
"Absolutely not. This has been a phenomenal group that has done tremendous things on and off the court, community service, they're all going to graduate, they've all played this game tremendously and again, I'm looking forward to getting the outside law firm in and then moving forward."

I tried anyway. Heaven knows why. Maybe just to see if I could or maybe because I was tired of working for the man hating my job and staying in debt. The first few months I just kind of half assed it. Like I said, I was mainly doing it for me. As I started to earn an income, make connections, helping people and getting results of my own...I really realized the potential.

About Alice On The Roof
A 21-year-old artist and trained piano player originally from Mons, and trained piano player, Alice On The Roof studied in Oregon before returning to Belgium in 2013. She started to write her songs and first attracted attention with her cover version of Oscar & Tthe Wolf's "Princes". In 2014, she tried the impossible and sent her demos to Tim Bran (London Grammar, La Roux, KT Tunstall, ...). The London producer fell under the charm of her extraordinary and fragile voice and suggested he'd produce her first album, which was released in January this year.
Alice On The Roof recently released her first album, "Higher". The record sees her unique voice cleverly surrounded by a subtle mix of atmospheric pop and synth-based electronic music. "Higher" attended Number One of the Wallonian Charts.
With a fan base that keeps on growing continuously, the Belgian singer is currently on the road and begins to touch foreign European markets.

Future Business Opportunities
HomepageNewsroomNews
His Excellency Mr Dmitri Rogozin, Russian Deputy Prime Minister, visited the NATO Support Agency (NSPA) in Capellen
The meeting provided an opportunity to take stock of key cooperative projects that are implemented by NSPA under the auspices of the NATO-Russia Council (NRC), and also to look at new opportunities where cooperation would be mutually beneficial.
NRC cooperation on Afghanistan is of central importance to both parties, particularly as we move towards 2014. NSPA plays a key role as executing agent for the NRC Helicopter Maintenance Trust Fund, which is supporting the Afghan Air Force's Mi-17 and Mi-35 helicopters by providing maintenance training to Afghan helicopter technicians and helicopter spare parts. Cooperation on ISAF transit through Russia was also discussed.
There are more areas of potential cooperation in the framework of the NRC which could be beneficial. A key opportunity that we agreed to look at in the 2013 NRC Work Programme is cooperation in ammunition disposal, an area in which NSPA has significant experience. To take all these projects forward, NSPA and the Russian Federation are also finalizing a formal Agreement which will provide a work framework for cooperative activities between NSPA and Russia. This is a subject which has been addressed by NSPA officials and his Excellency Mr Dmitri Rogozin today.


A key legislator is making a proposal that could dramatically change the system that currently awards state tax credits to businesses and individuals.
"The more questions you ask, the more you learn about these tax credits. The state should really know what we're on the hook for every year when it comes to these tax credits," says State Representative Pat Grassley, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
He's suggesting a limit or "cap" on the amount of state tax credits awarded each year.
"This bill hopefully will start that conversation of let's start prioritizing which ones are working and which ones aren't working and I think that's a good first step," Grassley says.
Last year, the state awarded $427 million in tax credits. Grassley's bill would limit that to $400 million next year, then down to $370 million in 2021.
Grassley's bill would also end to the practice of having the state issue refunds when the value of the tax credit exceeds what taxes are owed. The three major state tax credits are for low-income Iowans, for businesses that do research and for historic preservation projects.

Ethiopian families fleeing fighting describe hunger, rape in Amhara
Fatuma Hussein, 65, sits in her shelter with her family at a camp for the internally displaced due to the fighting between the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) forces in Dessie town, Amhara region, Ethiopia, October 8, 2021.

By Giulia Paravicini, Dawit Endeshaw and Maggie Fick
DESSIE, Ethiopia (Reuters) – The pictures on her phone are all that Ethiopian mother Habtam Akele has left of her three-year-old daughter Saba. The girl died of malnutrition last month before the family was able to flee south, deeper into Ethiopia's Amhara region.
"They (doctors) told me she has been severely affected by malnutrition and they cannot help. Then they gave me some syrup and tablets. She passed away exactly a week later," Habtam told Reuters earlier this month, clutching her surviving nine-month-old baby.
Habtam is among an influx of thousands of Amhara families fleeing to the town of Dessie from fighting further north. Officials warn the already overcrowded makeshift camps, where displaced people sleep in rows in school classrooms, will fill further after renewed clashes.
Conflict erupted between the ruling party of the rebellious northern region of Tigray – the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) – and the Ethiopian central government last November.
In July, the TPLF pushed into the neighboring region of Amhara, whose forces had fought alongside the military against the Tigrayans, as well as into the region of Afar.
The Tigrayan advance forced around 250,000 people to flee their homes in Amhara, the U.N. Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in September.
On Monday, the TPLF said the Ethiopian military had launched an offensive to try to dislodge the Tigrayan fighters from Amhara, following a barrage of air strikes reported last week.
The military and government have not answered calls seeking information on the offensive, but a post on the military's official Facebook page said "they (the TPLF) have opened war on all fronts" and said the military was inflicting heavy casualties.
Diplomats are worried that renewed fighting will further destabilize Ethiopia, a nation of 109 million people, and deepen hunger in Tigray and the surrounding regions.
Habtam said there was little food in the areas under Tigrayan control and that Tigrayan forces took scarce medicines from local pharmacies.
Getachew Reda, the spokesman for the TPLF, told Reuters that Tigrayan forces had not looted pharmacies that supplied local populations and had set up a generator to alleviate water shortages in Habtam's area.
Reuters had no way of independently verifying Habtam's account since her home, to the north in Kobo, is off-limits to journalists due to fighting and phone connections to the area are down.
ARMED MAN
The United Nations has said that the Ethiopian government is only letting a trickle of food trucks and no medicines or fuel into Tigray despite estimates that hundreds of thousands of people are in famine conditions there – a charge the government denies. Hospitals there have run out of crucial medicines.
Both sides accuse each other of committing atrocities. Reuters has previously documented gang-rapes and mass killings of civilians in Tigray, and some Amhara residents told Reuters that Tigrayans were also committing abuses in territory they control. Both sides have denied the allegations.
Another woman at the camps told Reuters that she had been raped by an armed man speaking Tigrinya, the language of Tigray, in an area of Amhara under Tigrayan control. Saada, 28, told Reuters she had been attacked in her house in Mersa, 80 km north of Dessie, by the armed man in plain clothes. She did not recall the exact date but said it was around the end of August.
"He said to me 'We left our houses both to kill and to die. I am from the jungle so, I have all the right to do whatever I want. I can even kill you' and he raised his gun to me and threatened to kill me," she said. "Then he raped me."
She provided a card showing she had visited Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital for treatment. She asked Reuters not to use her full name to protect her from reprisals.
Leul Mesfin, the medical director of Dessie hospital declined to answer questions about civilian injuries or rapes, or individual cases, because he said he did not trust foreign journalists.
When asked about the rape, Getachew of the TPLF said any reported incident would be investigated and that the actions of one man should not implicate Tigrayan forces in general.
"I can't vouch for each and every off-breed idiot who masquerades as a fighter," he said. "There are millions of (men with) guns there."

Ruth Sutton's daughter is killed, Ruth decides to write letters to her daughters killer in prison. Ruth is left to raise her granddaughter after her daughters death. She hates her daughters killer more than anything in the world but she needs answers, she needs to know why he dd what he did. Why her daughter? Why now?
I was unsure about this book at first but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. The only criticism I have really is, I kept expecting a reply back from the killer, I think even if just the last chapter was a reply this would of been very interesting. I felt this was what was missing from this book.
But none the less, I did enjoy the book, I had a feeling about a quarter of the way through who I thought the killer was and I was right. I wasn't however expecting the plot twist towards the end of the book, I found this really added to the story line.
Another brilliant story by Staincliffe, with fantastic characters, a wonderful plot which was interesting and easy to follow, it kept me gripped and wanting to turn the next page which is what I always look for in a good book.

Promail adds iMM polywrappers to range
By Pamela Mardle, Thursday 28 February 2013
Promail has added the iMM i6 range of polywrapping machines to its reseller arsenal after signing an exclusive UK distribution agreement with manufacturer International Mailroom Machines (IMM).
The iMM i6 Compact measures 9.7m in length
Promail sales and marketing director Daran Hanson said that he had been approached by Leeds-based IMM a few months ago and found that their products filled a niche in Promail's existing range and the wider production market.
He said: "We've always offered wrapping systems but there was a gap in the market for mid-range machinery at a cost that is more affordable in a market where people are not necessarily going out and buying new products.
"These are brand new smaller to mid-range volume machines built around the production marketplace and aimed at mailing houses or printers wanting to offer polywrapping alongside other services as opposed to very large wrapping houses that would only entertain running production kit 24/7."
He added that the iMM i6 range, which consists of Compact, Flexi and Maxi configurations, is capable of processing 15,000 to 500,000 runs, but was better suited to those smaller customers wanting to get into the polywrapping market or looking for a secondary machine to other similar systems.
The quick changeover times and ease of operation are the iMM's most attractive features, Hanson said, alongside the £65,000 to £105,000 price range depending on configuration.
The iMM i6, which was launched in 2011 soon after its UK manufacturer Mailroom Machines formed, has a top operating speed of 7,000 packs per hour, and the Flexi system can handle sizes up to A3 at a thickness of up to 50mm.
Hanson said that Promail was expecting its first delivery of the machines shortly, in time to showcase the range, along with its other systems from manufacturers such as Morgana and Pitney Bowes, at its Northampton showroom throughout April.
The open house will run for up to 6 weeks Monday to Friday, Hanson said, to ensure that smaller groups of visitors can get the most from their tour with full attention from Promail's sales staff.

This week started normally. Peggy and I recorded our "standard" weekly podcast, which focused on explaining the alphabet soup of organizations whose work directly and indirectly affects people with limb loss/difference. These include entities that certify the prosthetists who treat us, accredit the facilities in which we receive that care, and devote significant time to prosthetic research and legislative initiatives.
Then, late Monday afternoon, House Republicans released The American Health Care Act, the first step in following through on their promise to "repeal and replace" The Affordable Care Act. We read through the 120+ pages and recorded a new "special alert" podcast Tuesday evening that went live immediately afterwards. In it, we explained what The American Health Care Act would do and how it would directly affect people with limb loss/difference. We also issued a new call-out to our amp'd Activists to again reach out to their legislators to express their thoughts about this new proposal and created updated model letters for amputees and their relatives/friends to personalize and send to their Congressional representatives.
Both podcasts address issues of importance to amputees. If you're not already subscribed to our iTunes or other podcast feeds, you can visit www.ampdpod.com to listen to them and download our Podcast Summaries. (We've now embedded podcast players into the site so you can listen to us without having to leave ampdpod.com.) And whether you're an amputee yourself or a family member/friend of one, please visit the Current Issues section of our website to directly engage with your elected officials. Your voices matter. A lot. So speak.
In this week's amp'd podcast, Peggy and I take on a law that affects every person with limb loss/difference every day: The Americans With Disabilities Act. The post arose out of questions sent to us by one of our listeners, a bilateral amputee who sometimes uses a wheelchair at college.
In this discussion, we provide a summary of how the ADA protects all people with disabilities (including amputees), take a close look at those portions of the law that have the biggest day-to-day impact on us, and share information about which governmental agencies you should contact if you believe an ADA violation has occurred.
Nearly as important, Peggy and I take a small step towards podcast professionalism with the inclusion of (gasp) intro and outro music on the podcast. The composer of this stunning piece is none other than Max McGill, whose creative juices are apparently in full flow coming off a week spent in early January recording his band's new EP (stay tuned for more on that in the future). Enjoy!
Check out the latest amp'd podcast to get a soup-to-nuts guide on how to navigate America's airports if you have limb loss. From booking a flight to navigating security to boarding the plane to arriving at your destination, my talk with Peggy Chenoweth (aka The Amputee Mommy) covers it all.
In conjunction with the podcast, we have also added a new page to our virtual toolkit – Air Travel/TSA – that includes a comprehensive, downloadable tool to make air travel less frightening and easier to handle. It's a great resource to use both at the planning stages and to have as a safety net while at the airport.
Als0 – a reminder: please reach out to your legislators and share your concerns about what would happen if prosthetics were no longer an essential health benefit or insurers were again allowed to assert pre-existing condition exclusions. Whatever you think of the current healthcare law, the fact that amputees (1) are not subject to annual or lifetime caps for prosthetics and (2) can switch from one policy to another without fear of pre-existing condition exclusions being asserted against them helps improve their access to medically necessary prosthetic care and treatment.
Visit the amp'd website's Amputee Activism section to learn more about this issue and to access a model letter you can customize and email to your legislators today!
Last week in our amp'd podcast, Peggy and I issued a call to action to the amputee community and its family/friends. We asked you to reach out to federal legislators to ensure that two key protections provided by the current health care law – (1) classification of prosthetics as Essential Health Benefits, which prevents insurers from placing annual or lifetime caps on prosthetics, and (2) prohibitions on pre-existing condition exclusions – do not get repealed as part of the heated and quickly-evolving healthcare debate on Capitol Hill. As part of that effort, we created a new "Amputee Activism" section of our website, along with a tool designed to help you develop your skills as an amp'd activist.
In our newest podcast, we now walk through that tool step-by-step, showing you how to professionally and powerfully speak to your Representative and Senators about these two important issues. The debate in Congress is happening right now! If you wait to make your voice heard, it may be too late. So check out the latest amp'd, learn how to become an effective activist for the entire limb loss/difference community, and reach out to your elected officials immediately to ensure that they #DontExcludeAmputees.
As many of my readers know, I have been recording podcasts for the limb loss community for years with my peer and friend, Peggy Chenoweth (the Amputee Mommy). Since my last post in November, she and I have been working hard to expand the resources available to individuals with limb loss and their family members in connection with that podcast (amp'd). This is the primary reason why less is more has gone silent over the last 60 days.
If you subscribe to the site, you will get email alerts every time we post a new amp'd podcast.
Not only can you access the audio of our podcasts on the site, now you can review our written podcast summaries, which are extremely helpful when we are discussing actionable items (like today's podcast – more on that below). Also useful if you are hearing impaired or hate the sound of my and Peggy's voices.
Many of our podcasts discuss topics that inherently benefit from the inclusion of related tools that individuals with limb loss can use. So we have created a "Tools" section that includes downloadable resources to help you in selecting a prosthetist, coordinating prosthetic care with your physician, and drafting appeals. We have many other tools in the pipeline that we'll be podcasting about in the near future.
As of today, there is also an "Amputee Activism" section of the website. This will highlight calls to action for amputees regarding both state and federal issues. Today, January 9th, we have our first call to action on an issue of critical importance to all individuals with limb loss/difference: health care reform. This section of our website also includes numerous downloadable resources that every amputee should familiarize themselves with.
We need the limb loss community to make their voices heard regarding these important issues. Today's podcast explains them in detail and directs you to resources on the ampdpod.com website that make engaging with your legislators quick and easy. Please join the #DontExcludeAmputees movement today!
Finally, I have to address the future of less is more. I love writing and sharing my thoughts with all of my readers. However, there are certain realities I have to acknowledge: (1) I can record 3-4 podcasts with Peggy on important and interesting topics in the same amount of time it takes me to write a single post; (2) I need to maintain and update the ampdpod.com website on a regular basis in order to ensure that the information there remains timely and useful; and (3) I need to fit everything amp'd-related around my full-time job, which I love. Accordingly, while I will continue writing the occasional less is more post that does a deep dive on an issue that hopefully interests you, the majority of posts you read here in the future will serve to highlight the work Peggy and I are doing with amp'd, as that is where I think I can have the biggest impact in the limited time that's available to me.
Please visit www.ampdpod.com immediately so that you can take action today! While we don't know what the future of healthcare will hold over the next four years, the potential ramifications on people with limb loss are (a) far-reaching and (b) could be immediate. So speak up now and use the tools on the amp'd website to help you do it.
Thanks to everyone. Happy New Year, and I look forward to talking with all of you both through the comments here and, increasingly, on www.ampdpod.com – the podcast (and now website) for people with limb loss.

It is hearsay, but when multiple respected wrestling journalists (including the godfather of modern wrestling journalism, Dave Meltzer; not sure that Mark Madden falls into this category but regardless) say the same thing, you have to assume it to be accurate. In Meltzer's case, he explains their perspective a different way.
On one of the latest Wrestling Observer radio shows with him and Bryan Alvarez, Dave went into how Vince is about 6'2", Hunter is about 6'3", and when they physically meet with 5'10" Daniel Bryan their perspective is that of a smaller guy. Vince still thinks physical presence is a large factor, and while it certainly helps, you work with what you have. The fans have clearly selected Daniel Bryan (and shown that it isn't just a "phase" or temporary backlash to a specific aspect of the show), so at a minimum he deserves a run as the top guy.
Also, yes, in an ideal world, your top guy is good-looking, muscular, a great talker, has good media savvy, and is 6'3" minimum. Having said that, you work with what you have, and Bryan is what they have. Also, even though I'm in no position to do so (certainly having no experience with the industry at that level), as an outside observer, I would argue that while physical presence is nice to have, the reality is that a majority of your viewers see your product via television. This is reinforced in the WWE shifting the 80s/90s focus on house show attendance to generate revenue to the modern focus on television, with house shows as an afterthought and training ground for performers. On television, except in extreme scenarios, in my observation, a performer's height is not nearly as important. There have been a number of hugely talented performers who have drawn boatloads of cash in the modern era since WWE was forced to hire normal and smaller-sized men in response to WCW doing the same. Examples include Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Davey Boy Smith, and Eddie Guerrero. None of these men were over 6' and all drew boatloads of cash. Granted, most still employed the use of supplements to acquire excessive muscle, but regardless.


Located in a private and peaceful area where families feel right at home. The soaring ceilings create an open and spacious vibe.

Cactus Burger - Rotten Rat's motorcycle themed burger joint!
So it's official! We opened our own motorcycle themed restaurant :) It's located 20 minutes away from the city of Gdansk, in northern Poland in a beautiful, hilly area. We are actually located at the feet of a ski slope :D It's pretty amazing because the Baltic Sea is about 40km away ;) We are serving burgers, fries and our homemade lemonade. The place is very motorcycle firendly with photos of us and our friends from different events hung up on the walls. You can also chill at a couch, read your fave British and Polish magazines and watch bike movies on the TV.
Nowhere to Nowhere - new hot in town!!!
A few days ago we got a call from a guy from the city of Lodz, Poland, asking if we would be interested in stocking our products in a new place that he is just about to open. We found out that he spent the last 25 years in England, is an architect and is as much stoked about the custom motorcycle scene as we are. So without much giving it a thought, we took our dog, got into our car and drove over there to meet with him. This was one of those "on point" decisions! The place is amazing, has its own specific charm and history and Robert - the owner is simply our kind of a guy! The venue and its host were so welcoming that we spent over three hours chatting before we had to get back on the road.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, go ahead and look through those behind the scenes photos. Robert is still in the process of getting the place ready, so don't mind the empty shelves and ladders ;) - we helped him unpack goods from Holy Freedom, Bike Shed, Biltwell, Roeg, Dickies, Premier Helmets, Crave for Ride and among these and many more Rotten Rat Apparel! The Nowhere - to - Nowhere is already classic!
Our next step in the journey of promoting custom motorcycle lifestyle is opening a motorcycle tex-mex restaurant. The idea is for bikers to have a place of their own, where they can always stop by, have a juicy burger and watch some American flat track on a flat screenTV. The joint will be located in Przywidz, Poland.
INDOOR FLATTRACK RACING "DONKEY DASH"
Last week we had an amazing opportunity to visit the oldest European Harley Davidson Dealer - WARR's at King's Road London.
Warr's was founded in 1924 by Captain Frederick James Warr and became an official Harley - Davidson dealer that same year. After WWII Fred Warr- son, was able to lift US and UK restrictions concerning the import of civilian motorcycles to UK. Thanks to his efforts, by 1956 first civilian Harley Davidson motorcycle were to be bought in UK. Warr's dealerships are Europe's pride and are to this day operated by the Warr's family members.
Guys at the workshop let us in to snoop around on the backstage projects. Here are some photos we took. If you haven't visited them yet, you definitely must on your next visit to London.
It was totally MAD! On the 15th and 16th of July 2016 everybody who was anybody and owned/ bought/ borrowed the craziest two wheels possible could compete side by side with fames such as Guy Martin!!!
The wierder you looked the better :D Take a look at a couple of photos we took.

Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #89 … Book review: Parkinson's Recipe for Recovery!
I recently read Howard Shifke's, Parkinson's Recipe for Recovery. Shifke, as you may know, is an American lawyer who fully recovered from Parkinson's in 2010 after being diagnosed in 2009.
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #18 … Dissolving Anxiety!
For many people experiencing the neurological condition known as Parkinson's disease, anxiety is one of the more common and challenging symptoms.
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. It is an expression of fear, created by a thought. Given the challenges of the symptoms and given what the future holds for those who consider their condition to be incurable, it is no doubt that anxiety is so common.
My Journey with Parkinson's … A Natural Approach: Post 256 … My New Book…The History Teacher 2.0!
I'm excited to announce that my new book, The History Teacher 2.0, has just been published. I am very excited [and very optimistic]! It's a really good book with the potential to help anyone who may be struggling, including those experiencing a neurological condition.
My Journey with Parkinson's … A Natural Approach: Post 233 … Three Valuable Insights!
My journey with a neurological condition has been a tremendous learning experience! It has taught me so much, not just about recovering my health, but also about myself, life and spirituality! I can safely say that I am a far better person and far more knowledgeable than I would be otherwise! Despite my daily challenges I feel immeasurably enriched and very optimistic about my future!


This 1881 Morgan Silver Dollar was struck at the original U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. This is the fourth year Morgans were struck at the "Mother Mint." Only coins dated between 1878 and 1880 were struck before it. It had a relatively high mintage compared to other dates (9 million), but the ravages of time have taken their toll and it can be hard to find today. Don't wait to add this hefty Morgan Silver Dollar to your collection.
This example is in Extremely Fine (XF) condition, showing all of the hair lines strong on Miss Liberty. The feathers on the eagle's breast are all plain with slight wear on the breast and wing tips.


The earliest known American-made patchwork quilt is a handscreen, a type of small fire screen. That this little quilt still exists is incredible, author Lynne Zacek Bassett calls it, "merely a battered ghost." It was stitched by Deborah Clark, wife of Parson Clark of Salem Village sometime between 1730 and 1750, in a community still wracked by sorcery. She placed at the center of her patchwork star a square of silver brocade -- this tiny patch of brilliance must have held significance for our Calvinist parson's wife, perhaps part of an inherited costume?
Who cares...one might ask. That textiles were the most valued possessions women owned, either imported or created by an individual or group, is a significant part of New England's history. Needlework schools and quilting groups produced valued wives, the proof often on display for wife-seeking husbands to admire. Recently acquired, Massachusetts Quilts: Our Common Wealth is a most unusual catalog of the history of this needlework, from the exhibition of the same name at the New England Quilt Museum. We learn more about the owners and their communities of such objects, rather than their patterns.
My recent visit to the American Textile History Museum in Lowell, MA, revealed the power of cloth. The textiles are lovely, but the machines are genius. Recently renovated, this museum has charming period rooms and deafening mill machines. And lastly, both the book and the museum remind this reader of the complicated history between the textile industry and slavery, conjuring up ghosts that haunt us still.
