We all have those days etched in stone in our lives. Days where events were so tough we are deeply reminded every year, year after year. December 18th is that day. My older brother and best friend Scotty was called home. Since that time 19 years ago I have thought of Scotty often. Although he has been gone he has impacted my life almost on a daily basis.
Today's Video was the hardest I have ever put together. 19 years ago today the world lost one of the greatest men I have ever known. The same day Heaven must have needed a HERO….. Today's echo is dedicated to my big brother "Scotty" the newest inductee into the "Echo Hall of Fame". You have to look no further than our second son Landon "Scott" Lane to know the impact he had upon me. Scott's influence was felt by everyone he crossed path's with. The infectious smile, the humble heart, and the unconditional love he brought to everyone. I find myself almost daily thinking of him, asking him his thoughts on important matters. At times he takes time out of the HERO work in Heaven and helps lead and guide me. I have felt his spirit many times over the years. Take time to watch this small production in comparison to this larger that life Son, Brother, Uncle, Husband, Father, and Friend. Love you Brother… Jeffrey Scott Lane. Always a Hero on earth and surely in Heaven. Special thanks to Jo Dee Messina for her musical talents of "Heaven was needing a Hero".

We do not want to watch TV on a computer screen. We do not like any current movies or the HBO and Netflix series. We want Fox News, MSNBC, and our local news. We want to watch Big Bang Theory, Last Man Standing, NCIS, NCIS New Orleans, Josh Gates' programs, Diners drive-ins and Dives, Pitbulls and Parolees, Roll Back the Oceans, Ancient Aliens (it's hilarious). shows about people living in Alaska. And others of that ilk. Also must have PBS. And NHL and NFL and soccer games and volleyball.

General idea: As you can tell by the name, CBS All-Access is a clutch streaming service to have if you really like CBS shows like Star Trek: Discovery, The Good Doctor, and Criminal Minds (but let's be real, most people pay for it specifically for Star Trek). This service is a little different as it's not giving you a selection of different channels, but you will have access to over 10,000 episodes of classic shows as well as news from CBSN. CBS is also the channel that covers a lot of sports (like NFL games) and award shows (like the Grammys), so an All-Access subscription is nice to have in your back pocket when important live events like those are coming up.
Television manufacturers have been moving toward "smart TVs" that connect to the internet and provide access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and the like. The selection of apps on these sets vary depending on licensing agreements made between the manufacturers and the O.T.T. services. (O.T.T. is short for "over the top," a term applied to any streaming media provider to which a consumer can subscribe directly.) Also, not all of them will let you plug in and get a seamless, cable-like TV experience without any other hardware. The technology and interfaces are certain to improve in the years ahead, but for now, for the best results, you're better off just investing in a set-top box.
And even though the monthly price generally starts off higher than satellite, you won't see the same kind of second-year price hikes with cable. This makes it easier to budget for up front since you won't be falling for sweet promotional deals that come back to haunt your bank account in 12 months. Also, because cable doesn't require contracts, you have a lot more flexibility than satellite. Unfortunately, if you live in a rural area, you may not have cable as an option.
All that said, Google TV does have a feature that is—in my opinion—the Holy Grail feature of set-top boxes: universal search. If you enter the TV & Movies app and search for a TV show, it'll show you a list of seasons and episodes. Select an episode and it'll show you which services it's available on (like Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube). You can then decide from there which service you want to use to watch it. It's a lot nicer than having to search each library separately for that show that's harder to find. Every device should implement this, and I really hope Google expands it to include other apps in the future.
If you want—or need—to see a significant number of your local teams' games, I'm going to stop right here. This is one area where streaming services can't yet fully deliver. Local games are generally exclusive to regional sports networks, and you'll still need cable for that. There's also the issue of some online services being a little more unstable than die-hard fans might like. Dish's Sling TV failed for many customers during this weekend's NCAA Final Four action, leading the company to issue an apology.
The easiest way to get several local channels is to get an antenna. There are many different antennas to choose from, but if you are serious about having great reception for the games, an outdoor antenna is the best way to go. When I cut off our DirecTV subscription, I just unplugged the coax cable from the satellite dish and plugged in my outdoor antenna in its place. The antenna needed to be pointed in a different direction than the satellite dish though, so if you go this route, make sure you know which direction you need to point the antenna.
First, let's look at the benefits. Since these services stream over the Internet, you can access them using all sorts of devices. For example, a Roku box supports each of them, and apps are available for many other devices—though the quality of those apps varies depending on the platform. You also can use apps on a smartphone or tablet or stream the content through your computer. You have the same freedom to watch where you want as you do with the channel apps covered above.
Of course, there's never a bad time to reexamine your cable package and determine if you still need the one you're on. Perhaps when you signed up, your provider gave you a premium package at a low rate, but that rate has expired and you're now paying the regular price—do you really need those premium channels? Similarly, as nice as having 200-plus channels at your fingertips can be, many people spend the majority of their TV time watching just a few select stations. See if your provider offers a less expensive package that has the stations you want.
Usually, the apps themselves are free. However, some networks offer paid subscription options to access certain shows or old episodes. But that doesn't mean the cost isn't potentially reasonable, depending on how many shows you may watch. For example, CBS All Access is available for as little as $5.99 per month (plus tax), which isn't bad in comparison to the cost of cable.
Former RT Moscow anchor Stacy Bivens, and other former RT journalists speaking under anonymity according to BuzzFeed, said they regretted working for the network, citing their dislike of the network's use of propaganda. Bivens, for example, was explicitly asked to go to Germany and procure a story proving that "Germany is a failed state". When she rejected, other reporters were sent instead.[24]
Good to know, especially for those senior citizens (like me), who have free access to the internet in senior housing but are not allowed to stream anything on their computers! No Netflix, no tv shows, movies, documentaries etc…We survive on email and text-news. Streaming is an "immediate shut-down" offense. Shame on cable networks. President Obama announced recently that all new public and public supported housing will, by law, offer tenents free internet access. Will be interesting if that "free" includes incarceration without streaming.
Do you have a bundle? If you are currently bundling your internet with your cable — and possibly your cellular plan, you may have a bigger complication. The major communications companies like AT&T have spent the past several years building and marketing systems designed to keep their customers "in the family" by packaging a variety of necessary services and then sending one bill. Before you embark on this cord-cutting adventure, be sure to do some comparison-shopping in your area to find the right I.S.P. for you that accounts for your entire internet, phone and cable bundle.
YouTube is another option for online viewing that can take the place of your cable or satellite package. The popular web channel shares many movies and TV show episodes for legal viewing. YouTube won't offer an abundant selection of quality movies and TV show episodes. Still, there are some available, and it's free with your Internet access package.
Great! You're already half way there! What I would do next is take a look at Hulu, Sling TV, CBS All Access, etc. to find out which option has the majority of what you want to see. If that company does not cover sports you may have to purchase an add on for it. As far as local sports, you might consider an antenna if you can't get coverage otherwise.

Just because you subscribe to cable or satellite doesn't mean you have to use the provided set-top box. In an effort to become part of the cord-cutting landscape, many of the major cable and satellite providers, who double as internet service providers, let users subscribe and then access all programing via apps rather than the cable box or even the tuner in the TV.
Active: Active HDMI cables have a small chip built into the cable that takes a little power from the device's connector, and uses it to boost the signal. These cables cost a little extra, but are far more likely to work. A long passive cable might work for you, but it might not. It depends on your gear. Since they're not significantly more expensive, they're worth considering for any long run.
Cord cutting isn't just a millennial fad. Ditching cable allows you to save hundreds per year without being completely clueless about what's on TV. Nothing will you decide which service is best for you better than physically trying it for yourself. Each of the eight streaming services we've picked all offer free trials, so there's no reason to not take advantage of them — and all together, that's like two months of free TV.
Netflix.com: Slightly more, but the added convenience of keeping the movies and TV shows as long as you want, and being able to stream a selection of movies and TV shows over the computer, or networked media device. Netflix is getting better all the time, now with great original series like House of Cards. Find all plans and how to maximize your return on this post: How Much Netflix Costs.
A high definition simulcast feed of the network (broadcasting in the 1080i format) was also launched that year; it was added to various providers through the renewals of TVGN's existing carriage contracts. The high definition feed only carries the channel's entertainment programming, with no overlays or hardware used to provide listings information. The final agreements with providers which specified that the channel carry a listings scroll ended in June 2014.[34] Some providers, such as the municipally-owned cable system in Frankfort, Kentucky, continue to carry the scroll without any video programming on a separate channel (such as a local origination channel) for customers who subscribe to the provider's analog service.
Cons: Those unlimited screens come at an extra cost. Available only to Hulu With Live TV subscribers, the add-on costs an additional $14.99 per month, nearly twice the price of the basic subscription itself. One of users' biggest gripes with the service is that it doesn't allow for offline viewing. A lot of subscribers also recommend the no commercials add-on.
Recently, I tried out (and returned) so many that I worked my way down to this one. It was far from my first choice. When I got it, my hopes weren't high. I generally prefer plain black headsets. Having the large "sharkbite" components on the back of the earbuds seemed unnecessary and ostentatious. I'm not a fan of how the earbud tips are forced ... full review
The major network channels are all broadcast in HD. And you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that the quality of uncompressed HD video in an antenna feed is actually superior to what you've been getting with your cable box. Cable operators have to deliver hundreds of channels, plus broadband and phone service over a single connection to your home, so the TV signal is usually compressed to conserve bandwidth. Not so with your OTA feed. The difference is immediately noticeable. Outside of a Blu-ray movie, this is the best output I've ever seen on my TV. And did I mention the channels are free?
The ps3 already has netflix, hulu and youtube. What's more- by enabling media file sharing on your pc and ps3- you can stream ANY stored video from your pc to your ps3. The Playon software seems completly useless *SCAM. I stream movies and tv shows from my pc to the ps3 every day and it's completly free. Netflix is cheap as heck- you get a month free and then its like 12 bucks a month. Youtube is also free.
If you don't already have one, you'll need an over-the-air HDTV antenna with a coax connector that is able to work as a receiver in your area. Depending on how far away you are from your local channel broadcast center, you might only need an indoor antenna, which you can get for about $15 - $30, or you might need an attic or outdoor mounted antenna, which could cost as much as $150. You can figure out which type of antenna you'll need by using TV Fool's signal locator.
Philo is unique among the other skinny bundle internet TV services in that it does not offer any sports channels. That means if you love both MTV and ESPN, Philo is not the service for you. By eschewing sports channels, Philo is able to offer entertainment-only networks for a low cost, but this does ultimately create a more niche service, compared to other options like Sling TV and DirecTV Now. You won't get any sports coverage at all with Philo.
Includes: This offering from the No. 1 online video network includes the broadcast networks, cable channels from Disney/ABC, NBCUniversal, Fox, AMC and Turner Broadcasting. Missing are Viacom (Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central), Discovery (Discovery Channel, Animal Planet) and PBS. However, the workaround here is that these networks put lots of clips from their shows on the YouTube website, but you won't be able to see the entire shows.
PS Vue's biggest selling point is just how many channels you get, boasting the most of any services out there. Plus, you can bolster your services with add-on channels and features. Subscribers to PlayStation Plus (Sony's premium online service for PS4 and PS3) will get discounts on some of those packages, and some channels are exclusive only to Plus subscribers in the first place. Similarly, PS Vue ties directly into the PS4 interface and the PlayStation ecosystem at large, which makes adopting it almost a no-brainer for PlayStation players looking to add online TV — provided the pricing and channel listings meet your needs.
Hi , I think I might be interested in this because I'm tired of paying high cost of cable which just went up from 90.00 to 140 in about the last 6 months it just kept going up 10.00 every month, with them saying "its a cost of living increase?!?" , whatever. Anyhow I have done netflix in the passed for movies only though, but I do have some questions if anyone can answer them I would greatly appreciate it.
Loosen and remove the head of the cable wire from the wall cable outlet. Connect the short coaxial TV cable to the wall by placing the head of the cable over the threaded coaxial wall connector. Attach the head of the other end of the short coaxial cable to the single-sided end of the cable splitter. The cable splitter has a one-sided end, where there is a single-threaded coaxial connector for the cable to go in, and a two-sided end, where the cable is split up and transmitted out to two separate TV's.
For special situations, an outdoor TV antenna is also a great option for those who want to get local channels without cable. Channel Master has a line of highly functional outdoor TV antennas that are designed for circumstances that include areas in low-range reception, dual-tower locations, or low-VHF signal reception. Channel Master's outdoor TV antennas vary from long-range directional to multi directional with a variety of signal distance ranges from 40 miles to up to 100 miles - and everything in between.
While we haven't paid for cable TV, we haven't exactly been deprived, or had to watch only the shows offered by the over the air networks. There are tons of free video options out there! In fact, we actually still watch a lot of the same shows that our friends do. How do we do it you ask? Through a combination of free over-the-air digital TV, free online video services (the legal kind), a video streaming software, super low-cost internet service from FreedomPop, and a Xbox. FreedomPop is a low cost alternative to larger Internet service providers. Right now their plans might be too small for heavy video streaming users, but they're definitely on their way to bigger and better offerings – and they're definitely good enough if you only stream shows a few times a month. You can read more about them on their site.
On 12 January 2017, RT was accidentally broadcast for around 10 minutes on a web stream of U.S. public affairs service C-SPAN. RT stated that while it was testing its systems in preparation for the inauguration of Donald Trump, its signal was "mistakenly routed onto the primary encoder feeding C-SPAN1's signal to the internet, rather than to an unused backup."[266]
DirecTV Now offers a generous number of channels across four different packages, and it doesn't cost all that much, considering how much you get: $35 per month for more than 60 channels, up to $70 per month for more than 120 channels. While it's a good deal on paper, DirecTV Now itself has inconsistent video quality, a suboptimal interface and a haphazard selection of on-demand content. DVR options are still in their infancy, and platform availability is all over the place. If you want the largest amount of stuff to watch for the least amount of money, DirecTV Now works; otherwise, it's not the best choice.
When talking to people who are interested in cutting the cord, the issue that continually crops up is how to find affordable internet access. Many ask how to obtain internet access without a cable TV bundle. While market competition between internet service providers in the U.S. is extremely low, you can still find deals on high-speed internet only plans without a TV bundle.
During the 2008 South Ossetia War, RT correspondent William Dunbar resigned after the network refused to let him report on Russian airstrikes of civilian targets, stating, "any issue where there is a Kremlin line, RT is sure to toe it."[229] According to Variety, sources at RT confirmed that Dunbar had resigned, but rejected that it was over bias. One senior RT journalist told the magazine, "the Russian coverage I have seen has been much better than much of the Western coverage... When you look at the Western media, there is a lot of genuflection towards the powers that be. Russian news coverage is largely pro-Russia, but that is to be expected."[230]
Hi Kayla! I think I've read EVERY word on this particular blog! It has been HIGHLY informative! I'm too wanting to cut cable. These prices . . . man! Who can afford this stuff? I know I can't anymore. From what I've gathered, with a Smart Tv, looks like I can stream Netflix and Hulu. For other channels I and my son like to watch I'll need Sling. And for local channels an antenna. My question is for internet or streaming, do I HAVE to have an ISP? Can I purchase a modem and/or router? I know internet only plans are much cheaper but if I can get outta paying for that as well I sure would like to!! MUCH thanks to you!! I am now your FAN ?
Consensus: We'd pay for Hulu just for access to the originals. The thought of that, plus access to live TV and most of the classic channels you'd want from cable anyway (except for Viacom, RIP) isn't a bad gig. However, other premium services like DirecTV NOW and PlayStation Vue offer more channels in their base package for the same price (or less), so if you weren't with Hulu in the first place for the non-live stuff, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. But if all you want are some basic news channels plus a few extras, Hulu is where it's at.
While I've listed a few major streaming apps supported by each device, there are other apps available for these devices like Crackle TV, M-Go, Crunchy Roll, etc. I could write for weeks on every available app on these devices. While I personally feel Roku is the best streaming device available today, here is a look at the top options on the market.
Apple TV ($149 - $199): Similar to the Amazon Fire, the Apple TV is fantastic for dedicated Mac families, allowing them to sync programing between iPhones, iPads and laptops. Apple also has one of the better interfaces for finding and organizing content, with an app simply called "TV" that's designed to function a lot like a DVR, keeping the latest episodes of your favorite shows in an easily accessible queue. Note: Netflix shows can be searched via the "TV" app, but they can't be added to its queue; users are simply redirected to the Netflix app.
Netflix – The oldest major SVOD service is still the one to beat. Netflix offers movies and TV shows from all different studios, but it has helped lead the charge in original content, too. Thanks to Netflix and its competitors, asking how to watch TV without cable makes less sense every year – if the best shows aren't on cable, then maybe the question should be how you'd ever watch decent TV with cable!

This course has past its finish date but this page will remain available until 26th April 2019.
Learn the rudiments of this all-absorbing craft and how to nurture an insect that is crucial to us and our planet. Led by Caroline Dilke.
Have you always wanted to keep bees? This course offers a no-nonsense way in to a fascinating craft, nurturing an insect that is crucial to us and our planet.
People have collected honey for millennia and kept bees for hundreds of years. Fifty years ago, all you needed was a stray swarm, protection against stings and a suitable site for a hive. Now that we humans have introduced pests from abroad it is more challenging to keep our bees healthy, happy and productive. Beekeepers need to adopt a more hands-on approach.
The course is a practical one. As well as learning about the fascinating lifestyle of the honey bee, you will have guidance in managing a whole colony and get your head around its "psychology". You will learn how to deal with stings, collect a swarm and harvest honey. You will gain a realistic idea of the commitment, skills and equipment you will need, and how to keep your bees healthy. You will do a bit of carpentry and, weather permitting, will observe and handle bees in a hive. Pollination will be demonstrated by flowers in the lovely Kingcombe Meadows Nature Reserve. A new beekeeper will share with you the experiences of his first year and a honey tasting is included in the course.
A weekend is a short time to gain the confidence to keep your own bees, but you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and it will be clear what steps to take next: you will be welcomed into the friendly world of beekeeping.
Caroline Dilke has kept bees for 14 years. She is currently chair of the West Dorset Beekeepers' Association and is lead tutor on their course for new beekeepers. She also runs a popular after-school beekeeping club for primary school children. In a former life Caroline was a biology teacher, then later a writer and journalist.
Residential: £305 pp includes 2 nights' sole occupancy accommodation, full board including a home-cooked breakfast, tea/cake, lunch and three-course dinner, all tuition and activities.
Non-residential: £221 pp includes all the above except accommodation and breakfast.
Times: Arrive 3pm for tea on Friday. The course will start at 3.30pm. The course will end after tea on Sunday approximately 4.30pm.
What to bring: A notebook, a small hammer, a pair of clean wellies and some Marigold-type rubber gloves. Bee suits will be provided. Please do not wear perfume, hair spray or deodorant on Saturday or Sunday as the bees will disapprove.


Malawi has less than one physician for every 54,000 citizens and has a healthcare budget of only $77 per person per year. The country also faces great challenges in terms of the response to diseases such as HIV, Malaria and tuberculosis, as well as ongoing concerns relating to nutrition and food insecurity.
As the name itself hints, Medical Outreach Mission (MOM) is an organisation that works through the Church to care and provide for people in need, particularly the sick and the elderly.
We reach out to people in their most difficult and challenging times to let them know that they are not alone, and that they are loved. So, it if happens that they are sick and can't afford some medication, we buy the medication for them. If they don't have clothes, we gather clothes for them. If they have no food, then we help them with that as well! The help we provide may not be long-term but at least with the little we do we change peoples mind and hearts.
With our actions we tell them that love exists. We know that for us to share the will of God, we don't have to always carry our bibles, we can simple carry love.
On April 14th, we help our word by reaching out to twelve elderly people at Kauma village in Lilongwe, Malawi. There we gave away vital items such as soap tablets, over a kilogram of sugar, a further kilogram of salt, candles and match sticks. At this initial visit we unfortunately didn't have enough information on their medical records in order to buy them the medication that they required. However, next time we can proceed on this front too. Some of these elderly people were sick and more generally were living with challenges that come with old age.
It was simply amazing to see how people were moved with the little things we gave them. This then encouraged us – we don't have to be rich to help someone out here. My hope is that more people will be inspired to do the same for their community.
Let's reach out and spread the love. #MOM.

Q: Steps to create certain bit masks? I'm looking for a general way to create a bit mask using shifts and bitwise operators and to be wary of overflow from shifting left
ex. 0x80000000 would be something like (~0 >> 31) << 31, correct me if I'm wrong
More specifically 0xAAAAAAAA and 0x55555555 is what I'm struggling with

A: printf("0x%08x\n",  (~0 << 31));
unsigned int x;
x = (~0 << 31);
x >>= 31;
x |= x << 2;
x |= x << 4;
x |= x << 8;
x |= x << 16;

x = (~0 << 31);
x >>= 30;
x |= x << 2;

That car must have been the product of one of yesterday's lurkers who couldn't take their eyes off Esther's & Mandy's naughty bits.
that sounds like something I would say!
Sorry, too European (me) don't get it. Please explain.
Now Dave, there's a picture (of the talent scout) that would get at least as many hits as yesterday's.
That's one mean mamma neenie moo moo. Got soy milk…..err…. no it tastes like peacocks vomit.
So does cottage cheese actually….
Not that I have ever stooped so low as to sample the throaty offerings from a peacock mind you. Neither have I partaken in the cheese secreted from the underside of a cottage.
Either way it's all in bad taste if you ask me, I bet it runs on unleaded Brie as well.
I want to know if they are charged higher insurance rates based on the creativity of the car. At least we were not forced to read bumper stickers that engulf the back end of some of these artistic wonder-mobiles.
After 10 years trailing the field….Rover launch their new "eco" car.
Is that the Frish's Big Boy head in the window?
Check out the teets on that one! What an utter disaster!
I agree with Cheap Date… everyone knows republicans only drive SUVs and Lexus type vehicles.
That must be why they need so much oil then?
…Dave, I couldn't figure out where to comment on the new Freeg-o-da-weeg, but I figure this spot will do. A few years ago I was confronted by the 'Talent Scout' and lemme tell you, boy-talking to her was kind of like being with a retarded squirrel. And not only does she prey on the up-and-coming acting talent, she likes herself dem illustrators, so no one is safe.
Does the car have a set of headlights…or just udders?
Is this a picture of the infamous "cow car" that you didn't take some weeks ago (because you didn't have your camera with you!)? Or is there another "cow car" running around where you live?
Hmmmmmmm. I'm seeing double… again!
Let's get up to comment #77 again!
If I continue to see double, getting up to comment #77 should be really easy!
Hah! But not fun on the eyes of others!!
There are now sites cropping up in reaction to sorryeverybody.com like notsorryeverybody.com and werenotsorry.com.
But don't worry, there is also a response to the responses for those who disagree with those who disagree (or something like that) http://www.NOTsorryNOTeverybody.com.

Brain Exercise for a Mindful Life

Steamboat Springs, CO - It's 1 p.m. on a Friday afternoon in early April. Steamboat's spring break is still weeks away. The time feels ripe for students to be bored or unruly.
But in Soda Creek Elementary, a class of fourth-graders sits with focused energy. No one fidgets or giggles. The only sound is the hum of the heater.
The students, led by teacher Kyle Paolantonio, breathe in and out five times. They open and close their hands to mimic the movement of their lungs. Though it may be hard to see, they are working hard, exercising one of the most important parts of their bodies: their brains.
Paolantonio is one of 24 Steamboat Springs School District teachers and professionals who have been trained in Mindful Life Schools, a science-based program in which students learn how to pay attention to the present without judgment. At least 24 more teachers are training this summer.
Mindfulness may sound abstract, but it has tangible benefits, says Steamboat resident Kristen Race, Ph.D., the creator of the program and founder of the Mindful Life organization. "In the same way we use exercise to strengthen muscles, we use mindfulness to strengthen structures in the brains," she says.
The practice of mindfulness is thousands of years old, but modern science is only now quantifying its benefits, including how it can physically rewire the brain. Work happening in Steamboat may add to this body of scientific literature: Race and another scientist are partners in a Harvard Medical School study on how mindfulness impacts academic achievement.
Findings won't be available for at least a year. But in the meantime, teachers and students say benefits are clear.
Like the fourth-graders in Paolantonio's class: Elizabeth Gilbert uses mindful breathing to calm down when her brother won't give her a turn on the computer; Zion Idzahl uses it when he gets stressed out before a test; and Emily Varela uses it when she's overwhelmed by her homework. "When I'm very frustrated, I take five or ten deep breaths, and it helps me calm down," Varela says.
Teachers agree. Paolantonio says the time she spends on mindfulness in the classroom pays dividends. "The kids are more attentive, (I) am less anxious, and everything runs smoother," she says.
Aurora King, a fifth-grade teacher at Soda Creek Elementary, remembers one day of standardized testing when she skipped the morning's mindfulness exercise. Students were anxious.
"I could tell instantly," King says. "We had to take five minutes and push the test back and just do a relaxation activity."
The Mindful Life Schools program includes mindful breathing, listening and movement activities. Activities start at one minute, three times a day, then lengthen to five to ten minutes. Every exercise is not only fun, but based in brain science.
For instance, when a student listens to a tone bar, she is strengthening her brain's Reticular Activating System. The RAS helps filter through various stimuli to focus on what's most important. At school, that can mean learning multiplication instead of listening to commotion in the hall.
Another example is mindful breathing, which strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex, or what Race calls the "Smart Part" of the brain. This is the home to higher-level thought like learning and also where positive emotions are processed.
If a test or a fight with a friend triggers the amygdala, or the "Alarm Part" of the brain, the thought is not forwarded to the prefrontal cortex and the body enters fight or flight mode. The heart beats fast, breathing is quick and shallow, and muscles tighten – all of which can help to survive a bear attack, but not to answer a tricky question in class.
Deep breathing helps a student calm down and access the "Smart Part" of his brain again. His brain goes back into balance, and answering that tricky question is suddenly easier.
Mindfulness is especially important today, as children's brains are increasingly stressed. Children have less free time, more screen time, and get less sleep. "All of these things combined create a lot of stress for kids," Race says. She acknowledges that while we can't remove stress or change technology, we can make the brain more resilient through mindfulness.
Fourth-grader Toby Morse has seen just how powerful mindfulness can be.
He was playing ping-pong with his mom and they made 25 hits in a row. His mom challenged him to hit 25 again. That's when the pressure set in.
They hit 20, then only 15.
"I was like, 'Ugh, I'm never going to make this again,'" Morse says. "And I said, 'Okay, I should do mindful breathing.'"
He took five to ten deep breaths, and told himself he could do it.
"Then we hit it 66 times," he says. "And then I had to go to bed."
Susan Cunningham has taken a submarine to the bottom of the ocean as a researcher, written for a small-town newspaper as a reporter, and helped manufacture cozy wool socks as a sourcing manager. She enjoys the outdoors and hanging with her two small children, a role in which she finds mindfulness especially helpful.
Mindful advice for building your "smart' brain
Improve productivity and decrease stress. Mindful Life creator Kristen Race recommends these short, frequent practices to access your prefrontal cortex, or the "Smart Part" of your brain.
Breathe. Bring awareness to your breath for a few minutes every day. Take a deep breath at a traffic light or before answering your phone. When you become stressed or upset, you'll be better able to calm your stress response and access your "smart" brain.
Listen. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and listen to the farthest sound you hear for one minute. Increase your active listening to five minutes or more. You're strengthening your brain's Reticular Activating System, which helps you focus on what's most important.
Practice Gratitude. Regularly write down things you are thankful for. Each time you bring awareness to positive things in your life, you strengthen neural connections in the part of your brain that registers positive emotions. Research shows that this practice leads to more happiness, kindness, enthusiasm, interest and even better health.
Mindfulness for Happy Families
Mindfulness is especially important today, as children's brains are increasingly stressed, says Mindful Life founder Kristen Race. Children today have 50 percent less free time, which is critical to brain development, compared to a generation ago. They also have lots of screen time, more than seven hours on average daily according to one study, which stimulates stress responses. Children get less sleep, have higher pressure to perform, face more bad news like natural disasters and wars, and navigate through overscheduled days.
Mindful Life creator Kristen Race offers advice for families to better navigate modern life:
Mindfulness can be practiced anytime, anywhere.
Short, frequent practices can have a big impact.
Take time each day to bring your awareness to your breathing.
Go for a walk with your children and spend one minute listening, then talk about what you heard.
On the way to school, encourage your children to look out the car window and observe something new.
The next time your kids are upset, offer them a three-breath hug: embrace and take three deep breaths together. It feels as good for you as it does for them.

I would return the gifts. You don't need to spend hundreds on Christmas, I spent $10 and I'm sure it will make her happy.

That's assuming that OP only got a present for one person. Most people shop for their families too.
species4872 | 19
Tightass.
angelicdevil | 16
That's it? Do you only know one person? Is your family still around? If so, and they give you gifts, you really are a tightass for not doing it in return. Christmas doesn't come from a store, but $10 and only for one person, is really stretching it..
Lalala579121 | 27
You don't know OP's family and friends. You can't say anything about what they would or would not be happy with.
Mauskau | 35
Christmas is about spending time with family, not spending all of your money. I don't want anything from my family or friends for Christmas, but because they've bought me things I feel obliged to purchase things for them. I want to save money not spend it.
Well that's fine for you, 17. Everyone has their own customs and ways to celebrate things. Just because you don't enjoy the gift part of Christmas as much doesn't mean everyone has to celebrate it that way. If I had to wager a guess based on this FML, I would think that OP enjoys buying people gifts for Christmas.
torrea | 19
They got you gifts to show they care about you, and they care more about you then money. It's 1 day a year, it's not like it's every week, you sound ungrateful and selfish.
jimmyironic | 9
Don't feel bad with all these people hating on you. I personally don't buy anyone gifts for Christmas. And I make sure to tell everyone I know that I won't be buying them anything. and I don't want anything either. this year I kind of made an exception because I made something for my girlfriend. But even that was pushing it for me. I don't like how this season is about consumerism. I don't like feeling obligated to participate in that cycle. So I don't. But someone else was right when they said OP obviously does like spending money for Christmas and that's ok too if that's their beliefs and the way they want to celebrate the holiday. So it is unreasonable to a degree to expect OP to celebrate like you do.
#6721972 - Tuesday 13 December 2016 1:29
I didn't say anywhere that OP should do what I do, I was merely stating that not everyone buys loads of gifts (for those calling the original commenter a tight ass) but we shouldn't spend more than we can afford. There should always be left over money for unexpected bills, such as what OP is now experiencing. Some people get themselves into severe debt over Christmas (my mum included) because it's so commercialised and it's seen as bad not to fork out.

Sounds like the beginning of a bizarre sequel to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in which Rudolph leads a broken car to ensure the owner can still afford presents.
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, why won't you stop at the red lights?"
I would rather see a movie about Santa getting into the illegal street racing scene to win a new car for OP.
By RichardPencil | 29
Borrow money to fix your car and sell the presents you receive to pay it back.
I know you're usually sarcastic so I'm stuck here trying to figure out if this is a joke or not... I hope it is.
RichardPencil | 29
Hopefully, you get enough cash for Christmas that you can use that to pay off the debt, and have the luxury of keeping all the ugly sweaters and fruitcakes you received.
Maybe, if OP asks for cash to fix his transmission. But selling/returning gifts people gave you is just being a dick.
No, it just means you are desperate for money.
By AcieMcG | 21
This happened to me a few years ago, the transmission crapping out on a busy highway at night. So scary :| Another motorist and a cop moved me off to the side so my car didn't get totaled.
So glad you were ok! That would definitely be scary.

Q: UPS ShipmentRequest API JSON Notification shipping to access point I'm at a loss at the moment, I'm trying to add the option to send a package to a UPS Access Point, the documentation tells me I need to add a notification object for UAP (013) and for ADL (012)
When I read the documentation the notification object is allowed maximum 3 times, normally in xml it would look like:
<ShipmentServiceOptions>
  <Notification>
    <NotificationCode>012</NotificationCode>
    some other values ( here..)
  </Notification>
      <Notification>
    <NotificationCode>013</NotificationCode>
    some other values ( here..)
  </Notification>
</ShipmentServiceOptions>

But since I'm using JSON I create an array of objects:
$Shipment['ShipmentServiceOptions']['Notification'][] = ['NotificationCode' => '012'];
$Shipment['ShipmentServiceOptions']['Notification'][] = ['NotificationCode' => '013'];

when I json decode this complete array, it will look like:
{
"Notification": [{
    "NotificationCode": "013",
    "EmailMessage": {
        "EMailAddress": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "UndeliverableEMailAddr": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "FromEMailAddress ": "fromemail@test.com",
        "FromName": "From Email"
    },
    "Locale": {
        "Language": "ENG",
        "Dialect": "US"
    }
}, {
    "NotificationCode": "012",
    "EmailMessage": {
        "EMailAddress": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "UndeliverableEMailAddr": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "FromEMailAddress ": "From Email",
        "FromName": "From Name"
    },
    "Locale": {
        "Language": "ENG",
        "Dialect": "US"
    }
}]

}
This is a valid json object, but for some reason I keep getting the error:

ADL notification code (012) and notification data (email or phone number) is required for hold for pickup at access point location shipment.

When I flip the array values around I will get the error:

UAP shipper notification code (013) and notification data (email or phone number) is required for UPS Access Point Delivery.

This looks to me like only 1 value is being read from the array, and reading the documentation it leads me to believe it expects multiple Notification keys, but I really have no idea how I would add multiple Notification keys in json, which would invalidate the json object.. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Edit
when I convert the JSON object to look like this:
"ShipmentServiceOptions": [{
            "Notification": {
                "NotificationCode": "013",
                "EmailMessage": {
                    "EMailAddress": "info@tom-it.nl",
                    "UndeliverableEMailAddr": "info@tom-it.nl",
                    "FromEMailAddress ": "fromemail",
                    "FromName": "From Name"
                },
                "Locale": {
                    "Language": "ENG",
                    "Dialect": "US"
                }
            }
        }, {
            "Notification": {
                "NotificationCode": "012",
                "EmailMessage": {
                    "EMailAddress": "info@tom-it.nl",
                    "UndeliverableEMailAddr": "info@tom-it.nl",
                    "FromEMailAddress ": "fromemail",
                    "FromName": "From Name"
                },
                "Locale": {
                    "Language": "ENG",
                    "Dialect": "US"
                }
            }
        }],

It gives me the this error:

ADL notification code (012) and notification data (email or phone number) is required for hold for pickup at access point location shipment.

Swapping around the items doesn't change the error

A: I knew it would be something simple, if something takes more than an hour to fix, you know it's simple ;-)
I swapped the xml documentation with the web service documentation, in xml the node where the notification email data is added is called:

/ShipmentConfirmRequest/Shipment/ShipmentServiceOptions/Notification/EMailMessage/

In the JSON documentation that same node that holds the mail data is called:

/ShipmentConfirmRequest/Shipment/ShipmentServiceOptions/Notification/EMail/

For completeness, this is the correct json part for the notification object:
{
"Notification": [{
    "NotificationCode": "013",
    "EMail": {
        "EMailAddress": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "UndeliverableEMailAddr": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "FromEMailAddress ": "fromemail",
        "FromName": "fromemail"
    },
    "Locale": {
        "Language": "ENG",
        "Dialect": "US"
    }
}, {
    "NotificationCode": "012",
    "EMail": {
        "EMailAddress": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "UndeliverableEMailAddr": "info@tom-it.nl",
        "FromEMailAddress ": "fromname",
        "FromName": "From Name"
    },
    "Locale": {
        "Language": "ENG",
        "Dialect": "US"
    }
}]

Can't wait until June 23rd for Mamby? Neither can we. We'll be announcing a few Official Preparties to get in the mood. The first of which is announced!
Mamby and Monaco Vodka have teamed up to bring you the first Official Mamby Preparty featuring Sir the Baptist June 15th at Chop Shop in Chicago! It's a stop on his Prophet vs. Profit tour and is on sale Friday at 10am CST. Chop Shop is an amazing intimate venue so get your tickets HERE before they sell out.


Have you ever wondered what your trainer wishes you would stop doing? It could be things that are stopping you from getting you the results you desire, or not maximizing your time in your workout session.
STOP checking your phone during your session I know its hard to believe but there was once upon a time when you weren't contactable by phone unless you were at home. As hard as it is to believe you lived through those days, and were OK.
Believe me when I say this – you can go through an hour without being contactable. The thought might give you cold sweats but I believe in you. YOUV'E GOT THIS.
Yes I know there are some occasions you may be need to check your phone, but I don't believe any emergency's have came through facebook before.
Talk the entire session, without breaking a sweat.
Use your workout time as social time. I love building a community in my sessions, I think it's amazing to have the support and know your squad, but keep the big conversations for after your workout, and just share the sweat and the small stuff during the workout.
Youv'e probably got a busy life, so make the most of your workout time by you know working out….
Arrive on time or even a few minutes before.
This one annoys me the most. I totally understand that sometimes you will get caught in traffic or accidentally hit the snooze button, but when you arrive late week and week, frankly it's just damn rude.
By missing part of the session (Normally the warm up) you are putting yourself at a higher risk of injury and disrupting the class as we bring you up to speed, and ruining it for your squad.
Listen to your body, and its support team.
LISTEN to you body, trainer AND physio. So many of my wonderful clients rock up to sessions with back backs, wrists, hips, shoulders, and don't give their body the rest they deserve. If it's a ongoing injury we will be happy to modify exercises for you, and recommend that you see a physio, and listen to their recommendations.
What doesn't make us happy is if you injury yourself then rock up to training the next day, when your body is screaming at you to rest. The same goes if your sick. We appreciate your commitment, but we don't want to get sick, and if your training in a group environment, I don't think your squad wants to get sick either, so do us all a favour rest and recover, and come back stronger.
I'm all for a bit of self-reflection, so I think its only fair if I add what my guys hate me doing, and holding my hand up.


This image shows a Riva-Rocci sphygmomanometer with cuff used by Korotkoff, who later discovered systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Modern blood pressure measurement was not developed until 1905, when Dr. Nikolai Korotkoff discovered the difference between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. These pressures corresponded to the appearance, and disappearance of, sounds within the arteries as pressure was applied and then released. Known as Korotkoff sounds, the use of systolic and diastolic sounds is now standard in blood pressure measurement.
Since that time, further advances have been made to sphygmomanometers. Now available in a variety of styles ranging from mercurial to aneroid and electronic versions, blood pressure measurement has become more accurate and widely accepted as an important vital sign when diagnosing a patient.

Why Vikings RB Dalvin Cook Is Worth Risking A High Pick In 2021 Fantasy Football Drafts

Editor's note: The following analysis was written in June, but when coupled with the latest rankings and projections in our 2021 Fantasy Draft Kit, is still valuable research for your next draft.
Koerner's Final Fantasy Draft Tiers & Strategy GuideRead now
Dalvin Cook Fantasy Rankings
Overall 3
Positional RB3
Consensus rankings via Sean Koerner and Chris Raybon are based on half PPR scoring and as of early June.
Dalvin Cook has been an elite running back in each of the last two seasons and is looking to make it the fantasy hat trick in 2021.
He enters the year consensus ranked by my colleagues just one spot behind fantasy powerhouses Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry, but his speckled injury history could deter some managers from using their early first-round pick on the Vikings' star.
Cook's 2020 Season
Rushing: 312 attempts, 1,557 yards, 16 TDs
Receiving: 54 targets, 44 catches, 361 yards, 1 TD
Fantasy finishes: RB2 in PPR, RB2 in standard, RB2 in half PPR
Cook is coming off a banner season and finished as the second-highest scoring running back for fantasy football behind only Alvin Kamara.
Cook began the year in a drama-laden contract stalemate with the Vikings. The team eventually signed the fourth-year back to a five-year, $63 million deal one day before their Week 1 matchup against the Packers.
Cook was utilized heavily and saw the second-most rushing attempts (312) behind Derrick Henry (378), who appeared in all 16 games. Cook averaged 22.3 attempts per game and 111.2 rushing yards per game. He also ranked second among running backs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.
Previous Fantasy Performances
Cook is a former five-star recruit and two-time first-team All-American for Florida State. He was selected by the Vikings in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft as the third running back off the board behind Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey.
Cook burst onto the scene in Week 1 and rushed 22 times for 127 yards, which broke the Vikings' rookie debut rushing record previously held by Adrian Peterson. Unfortunately, his rookie campaign was cut short after suffering a torn ACL just four weeks into the season. He ended the year with 74 rushes for 354 yards and two touchdowns and 11 catches on 16 targets for 90 yards over four games. He finished as RB67, but averaged a healthy 15 fantasy points per game in half PPR scoring.
Injuries continued to plague Cook in 2018. He returned from his ACL tear, but suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 that ultimately forced him to miss five games. He ended the year with 133 attempts for 615 rushing yards and two touchdowns and 40 catches on 49 targets for 305 yards and two touchdowns — good enough to finish as RB33.
Year 3 was Cook's major breakout season. He missed just two games dealing with a chest injury and tallied 250 rushes for 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also caught 53-of-63 targets for 519 yards and finished as RB3 in all formats (RB2 on a per-game basis).

Cook's 2021 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries have been Cook's biggest risk factor since his rookie season, most notably his ACL tear in Year 1. He has yet to play all 16 games since entering the league in 2017, but has missed just four games over the last two seasons.
When on the field, Cook is a force to be reckoned with: He is utilized heavily and is highly productive with his touches.
He enters the season with minimal competition for rushes out of the Vikings' backfield, which bodes well for his workload year-over-year. His backup, Alexander Mattison, saw 96 attempts for 434 yards and two touchdowns and caught 13-of-15 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown.
Mattison would be a valuable handcuff to roster in the event of an injury to Cook: In the two games Cook missed in 2020 (Weeks 6 and 17), he saw a combined 34 touches for 171 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns (one rushing and one receiving).
How to Draft Dalvin Cook
Cook's monster 2020 workload is both a blessing and a curse: He enters Year 5 once again poised to take over a bell-cow workload — a rarity among running backs — but wear-and tear from his immense carries could increase his injury risk heading into 2021.
Cook is currently being drafted around the RB2/RB3 depending on the format, and his pass-catching abilities likely give him the slight edge over Henry in PPR. The paucity of competition from the Vikings' depth chart and his consistency over the past two years make him incredibly valuable and worth the relative risk at his current ADP.

Caltrain erects fencing to boost safety on tracks
On the heels of two fatal incidents on the tracks, Caltrain this week stepped up its installation of high-security fencing at trespasser hot spots in San Mateo County. Crews this week began adding 3,875 feet of heavy-duty metal fencing from the south end of the Broadway station to Oak Grove Avenue in Burlingame. Another 150 feet of fencing is planned for the south side of the San Bruno station.
Caltrain has seen five deaths this year — two in the last two weeks, spokesman Jonah Weinberg confirmed. On Thursday, a pedestrian, whose name has not been disclosed, was killed after stepping in front of a northbound train near Alma Street in Palo Alto. A week earlier and four miles away, 21-year-old Sunnyvale resident Maria Nieblas was killed after a train struck her car at the East Meadow Drive crossing.
Last year, 17 people perished on the tracks. While the majority of them were suicides, unsafe shortcuts along the tracks led other victims to their deaths, Weinberg said. "People have grown up around the railroad and in some cases generations of families have taken these shortcuts. Now it's a bigger deal because we have 96 trains going through during an average weekday. People aren't taking seriously the risks to themselves," Weinberg said.
The $7 million, multiyear project was planned last year. Once completed, it will provide more than 50,000 feet of fencing between San Francisco and San Jose and close gaps on existing fencing.
Dr. Paula Clayton, medical director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, applauded the project. "I think it's really important that they're doing this. I think it's a great leap forward, not just a step," she said. Studies have shown a decrease in suicides — particularly the impulsive kind more common in young males — when authorities restrict access to easy suicide spots, Clayton said.

Save the Date: Help Clear the Shelters on August 17
by: Clear the Shelters
Kitten and puppy on lawn
NBC and Telemundo stations across the country will team up with shelters nationwide on Aug. 17 for the fifth annual Clear the Shelters animal adoption drive.
More than 1,000 shelters and rescues have already registered to participate in this year's campaign.
How to Register Your Organization for Clear the Shelters
"We are excited for Clear The Shelters to return to communities everywhere for a fifth year in a row. Thanks to our wonderful shelter and affiliate partners and our sponsors Cat's Pride and Hill's Pet Nutrition, the happiest day of the year is right around the corner. We are all looking forward to make this year's campaign the best one yet," said Valari Staab, President, NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations.
Actress Lake Bell, one of the stars of the animated movie "The Secret Life of Pets 2," notes that the event is "the purrr-fect day to find your perfect pet." Bell, who voices Chloe the tabby cat in the Universal sequel, knows the benefits of pet adoption. She has a rescue dog named Texas, among other critters.
How to Participate in the Fund the Shelters Challenge
"It's unconditional love," Bell said.
Every year, millions of companion animals end up in shelters across the country. And while shelter adoption rates have been steadily rising since 2011, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 1.5 million animals — 860,000 cats and about 670,000 dogs — are still euthanized each year due to overcrowding.
The number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets instead of buying them. And, by adopting a shelter animal, you actually save two lives.
"Every single pet that is adopted frees shelter staff up to work with and prepare the next pet for potential adoption," said Kenny Lamberti, director of strategic engagement and companion animals for the Humane Society.
Last year, more than 100,000 pets were adopted from over 1,200 shelters across the country. Since 2015, Clear the Shelters has helped 256,688 pets find forever homes.
So if you're thinking about taking home a new furry friend, consider heading to a local animal shelter to adopt during Clear the Shelters on Aug. 17 when hundreds of shelters will waive or discount fees as part of the one-day adoption drive.
"Every pet deserves a loving human," said "Modern Family's" Eric Stonestreet, who voices Duke in "The Secret Life of Pets 2."

Clear the Shelters comes in about one month
by Tony Mirones / Jul 16, 2019
One of the areas most popular pet adoption events in Central Ohio comes back to the area on August 17. The Clear the Shelters initiative is a day when animal shelters join forces with NBC4 to get pets adopted to loving homes.
Last year the Frankin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center (FCDSAC) adopted 163 dogs. This year the crew there hopes to top that number and will be open on "Clear the Shelters" day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Clear The Shelters campaign returns August 17
NBC4 is excited to announce that Clear the Shelters, a ground-breaking, community-driven initiative that seeks to match deserving animals with loving and permanent homes, is returning for its fifth nationwide campaign on Saturday, August 17, 2019! On this day, our local shelter partners will be waiving, or greatly reducing, their adoption fees to ensure the animals in their care find a forever home.
This year's Clear the Shelters event comes after last year's highly successful effort, which resulted in nearly 31,000 animals finding new homes in one single day, and 80,000 including the month leading up to the event. The unprecedented partnership included NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations (11 NBC stations, 18 Telemundo stations and regional news network NECN,) 65 NBC /4 Telemundo Affiliates and over 970 animal shelters located all across the country and in Puerto Rico. Last year's effort literally emptied dozens of animal shelters across the country in one day and inspired local communities to take action and open their homes to animals in need.

Often, mascara companies fall short on their promise to give you thick and beautiful eyelashes. Or, maybe you are just a person who wishes to improve the look of your eyelashes without using makeup. If these descriptions sound like you, you are a good candidate for Latisse.
Latisse is a prescription-only treatment that, when prescribed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John A. Kotis, helps residents of Chicago, Arlington Heights, and surrounding communities get the fullness they are looking for when batting those lashes. It is an FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate eyelashes. It is prescribed by your doctor, but you apply it in the comfort of your own home.
After two months of nightly use, you may begin to see results. After three or four months, your doctor may recommend this medspa treatment schedule of every two days. If you stop using Latisse, your eyelashes will gradually return to their former state.
If you live in the Chicago or Arlington area, and you would like to learn more about how Latisse is right for you, call Dr. Kotis and his team at the numbers listed below.

More answers to your questions from the man in the Union Jack waistcoat.
DO YOU STILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH BILL, GRAEME AND YOUR 'I'M SORRY I'LL READ THAT AGAIN' AND UNIVERSITY PALS JO KENDALL AND JOHN "OTTO" CLEESE?
Graeme I see regularly as we both appear on the BBC radio panel game 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'. Bill asked me and my wife for a meal next week, but sadly I will have started my panto. Whenever the three of us meet up it's almost as if we were still doing the Goodies.
John Otto I see every now and then, but not nearly as much as I used to. Jo Kendall I haven't seen for years. David Hatch I see quite often and I'm a godfather to one of his sons.
WERE YOU HAPPY PLAYING THE GOLDEN TICKET COMPUTER GUY IN 'WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY'? OR WOULD YOU HAVE RATHER BEEN AN OOMPA LOOMPA?
Doesn't everyone want to be an Oompa Loompa? The scene you refer to was the very last one shot in the film. All the technicians clearly hated the director and couldn't wait to get away. They had their packed suitcases by their feet. We filmed it at the headquarters of Nestle. I was told to only touch one button behind me. "BUT DON'T TOUCH THE OTHERS" they screamed or you will wipe out all of Nestle's files worldwide. I later did a play with the girl who played Miss Veruca in the film, Julie Dawn Cole, and she was excellent.
HOW DID YOUR INPUT INTO THE GOODIES CHANGE AFTER THE CREDITS CHANGED FROM "GRAEME GARDEN AND BILL ODDIE WITH TIM BROOKE-TAYLOR" TO JUST "GRAEME GARDEN AND BILL ODDIE"?
I wrote less, as I was writing and performing in other shows. And, modesty apart, they are quicker and better writers than me.
But the three of us would work out vague story lines and areas for each show with potential scenes and 'jokes', then Bill and Graeme wrote a half each. I would then come in as referee and add or subtract. In fact be a real nuisance.
IN THE GOODIES YOU PLAY VERY MUCH A ROYALIST, CONSERVATIVE "LITTLE ENGLANDER". WHAT, IF ANYTHING IS YOUR POLITICS?
I've always tried to avoid this question because I think the performer should keep his personal views to himself. But, since you ask, I have never voted Conservative and couldn't wait to vote for our present Labour party who do seem to represent my views. We were all left of centre. I would say our views were pretty clear in the programmes, not in the characters, but in what we made fun of. The greatest problems was when one of us had to play the Baddie (this happened most weeks) and some not very bright people would think that was the view of the character AND the actor. Having said that I like being British.
IN 'FROM FRINGE THE FLYING CIRCUS' A GOODIES MOVIE IS MENTIONED, WHICH APPARENTLY SHOWED THE GOODIES MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS MOVIE WAS NEVER MADE, WHY WAS THIS? AND CAN YOU REMEMBER ANY MORE ABOUT THE PLOT ETC.?
This was really a bribe from our publishers who commissioned us to write a Goodies film if we would do another Goodies book. We did write a script but that is all that happened. I'm afraid I can't remember much about it - it was THAT good.
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEAS FOR THE GOODIES BOOKS?
A spin off company did a Christmas book for us. It was so awful we decided to do the next one ourselves. It was a hell of a lot of hard work but I'm proud of them. The 'Making of the Goodies Disaster Movie' book didn't quite work as readers would dip in and out whereas we intended the reader to follow it through chronologically, assembling in-jokes as they went along.
WAS 'THE MAKING OF THE GOODIES DISASTER MOVIE' IN ANY WAY BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCES TRYING TO GET A GOODIES FILM MADE?
I can't honestly say yes, much though I'd like to. So, no.
ROUGHLY, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO MAKE A SINGLE GOODIES EPISODE FROM CONCEPTION TO COMPLETION?
Difficult. Three weeks? We would meet to discuss ideas over say 3 or 4 days. Then all six (assuming a series of six) would be written. Then rewritten. Then into production. We would usually film the exterior shots for the series over 3 or 4 weeks. Before the filming we would sit round a table for three or four days with all the technical people, having broken down scenes into a story board. (See below re visual effects). Then we would work on a weekly basis. Start rehearsals on a Monday and record in front of an audience on the Friday. Our best series in 1975 would be recorded on a Friday and transmitted the following Monday.
WHEN GRAEME, BILL AND YOURSELF SAT DOWN TO WRITE EPISODES, DID YOU HAVE A CLEAR IDEA OF HOW THE VARIOUS VISUAL EFFECTS COULD BE REALISED? IF SO, DID YOU WRITE EFFECTS DETAILS INTO SCRIPTS OR WAS THIS SORT OF THING LEFT TO THE VISUAL EFFECTS DESIGNER?
DID YOU REALLY ENJOY BEING A GOODIE AS MUCH AS YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DID?
Yes and no. The filming, usually was hell. The weather was invariably bad and we were always short of time having to re shape all the time. But it was exciting, and rewarding in the fact that we had control over everything. What am I saying, of course we enjoyed it.
Faves: Wild Thing, Cricklewood, Cactus In My Y Fronts. Least fave: Custard Pie.
RECENTLY CANADIAN COMEDIAN MIKE MYERS LISTED THE GOODIES AS ONE OF HIS CHILDHOOD INFLUENCES. SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH MOVIES AS 'SO I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER', 'WAYNE'S WORLD' AND 'AUSTIN POWERS - INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY'?
I saw 'Wayne's World' and thoroughly enjoyed it. Literally the next day I read that Mike Myers had cited us. So I was pleased. I recently saw 'Austin Powers' which I also enjoyed, especially the exaggerated fashions and his Mr Nasty character. I haven't seen or even heard of 'So I Married An Axe Murderer'. Put it this way, if he asked me to appear in one of his films I would leap at it.
COULD YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES ON 'YOU MUST BE THE HUSBAND?' THIS WAS IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SITCOMS I'VE EVER SEEN FROM THE UK AND YOU HAD A GREAT ON-SCREEN RELATIONSHIP WITH SHEILA STEAFEL.
I loved the first series of 'You Must Be The Husband'. It was beautifully written by Colin Bostock-Smith. Actually it was Diane Keen, who played my wife, I think it was the best on screen relationship. The second series was ruined by an interfering producer who kept steering the writer in the wrong direction. Colin later wrote a stage play with the basic premise which I did with the wonderful Brigit Forsyth (Thelma in 'The Likely Lads'). It was a terrific play which we toured the UK with and then took it to the Far and Middle East where it was also successful. What I liked about the whole thing was that both the husband and wife were bright, witty, nice people (not prats) whose marriage was constantly under threat from outside influences. It was also sometimes quite moving. But it was a sitcom and it did have a sofa. Something that seems to be unfashionable I'm told. It doesn't seem to hold Frasier back though.
HAVE YOU EVER MET ANY OF THE ROYAL FAMILY AND IF SO, WHAT DID THEY THINK ABOUT YOU 'MARRYING' PRINCE CHARLES AND CONSTANTLY REQUESTING AN O.B.E.? AND DO YOU STILL WANT AN O.B.E.?
Prince Charles volunteered to play himself in the marriage scene. Unfortunately palace advisers got to him. I met him a few times in the seventies and he was quoted as liking Monty Python but putting the Goodies as his favourite. Consequently I've always liked him. He even put a suggestion to me that we could make a private film for the Royal family. One of his suggestions was people coming out of the palace, after being knighted, covered in bandages and plasters.
GINGER SPICE FROM THE SPICE GIRLS IS REALLY INTO WEARING CLOTHES WITH THE UNION JACK ALL OVER THEM. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THIS OBVIOUS PLAGIARISM?
About 1% of the royalties would shut me up.
YOU'VE DONE LOTS OF "FROCKING UP" IN VARIOUS COMEDY SHOWS, DO YOU STILL POP ON THE ODD FROCK FOR OLD TIMES SAKE OR HAS AGE AND FATHERHOOD CURBED YOUR EXUBERANCE?
You're right and I seem to be made to do the more difficult female singing roles on 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' eg. Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights'. But that's just audibly frocking up. I have to say I liked playing female parts but hated the actual clothes. My sympathies go out to women who have to wear formal clothes.
