Whiz Burgers, San Francisco, California, Custom, copyright 2010 David Leland Hyde.
Many people today would rather not discuss environmental issues. The environment is a subject that reminds people of thoughts and emotions they are often trying to forget. Bringing up such topics, some consider as taboo and as deadly to conversation as discussing politics or religion.
Along the same lines, when people are faced with, and allow to sink in a bit, some of the scientifically established facts of climate change, they respond with a wide range emotions: denial, rage, fear, grieving, indifference, resignation and others. If we do discuss climate change, it is with a dispassionate distance, as though it is not a matter of survival, of the life and death of our species, but something mildly in need of our intellectual attention and problem solving abilities, like an algebra equation. Some believe that an excessively hot planet with temperatures continuing to rise is something we can learn to live with. Meanwhile, many of the most credible sources say that just slight changes will bring about ongoing natural catastrophe, which in turn will readily destroy our economic system and our way of life.
Much of this can be debated indefinitely and is, but my intent in mentioning it here to begin with is to emphasize that these are serious, grown up problems that must be reckoned with, not forgotten about or avoided indefinitely. Each of us must start now to act in ways that have less environmental impact. We have to take responsibility and make changes ourselves, individually, regardless of what the US Congress, our president, or other world governments and corporations do. Regularly I see political slogans that say we need to keep Big Oil from causing climate change. True, we do need to stop subsidizing Big Oil, but we also need to remember they are in the business and we are all their customers. If we do not believe in their product, we need to gradually decrease our use of it, in all of its forms.
Climate Change through the refinement and distribution of fossil fuels is what Big Oil does for a living. It is what they have done for a living for a long time. Yet we must remember that it is the actual burning of the fossil fuels that is changing the climate. We are doing the burning. Meanwhile, we are asking them to change businesses, when we ourselves will not even change jobs to use less gasoline, or to do work that itself is more earth friendly. We will not change homes, change cars, or change other products we buy and use, yet we ask Big Oil to change the core of its livelihood. The picture will not change until we change. Major seed changes have almost always come from the people, from the bottom up, not from the top down. Top down management has brought us the world we have now, which is a calamitous train wreck about to happen. It would be easier to get off the train if it were moving more slowly, but as the train continues to gain momentum, we will begin to realize that jumping from the train is a better option than staying aboard. As a whole, the civilized world has doubled its energy use since 1980. This is a monumental trend in the wrong direction.
Examples of short-term thinking are abundant. When it comes to art, people would rather fill their homes with lots of cheap junk that will wind up in a landfill, than save and gather their resources to acquire a few quality pieces of artwork with provenance that will last and go up in value as a real asset to be sold at a profit or passed on to heirs. We have this same Walmart mentality about many items. We would rather buy a cheaper bike for $250 and have to buy a whole new one every four or five years, than save up and spend $800-$1000 on a bike that will last the rest of our lives. Even the $800 bike will no longer last a lifetime because planned obsolescence and lack of durability are built into the manufacturing system. Cheap is what people want, or is it?
Much of this comes down to education and how people are raised. Some parents teach their children to be racists, to hate people of other religions, or conversely, to be tolerant of all religions, to have empathy and appreciation for the diversity of cultures and myriad ways of living and worshipping on this planet. Some children rebel against whatever they are taught anyway, but Culture, environmental awareness, tolerance, open-mindedness or lack thereof are all teachings or programming, as are values, art, ethics and religion, which is man made. It's all the same God, but some people try to claim that they have a different God, or that if you approach God any other way than by their approach, you are doomed and damned. I can see why some people don't believe in God at all. Many others object to using the term, "God." I certainly don't believe in an angry, vengeful, insecure, spiteful God, the God forced down throats by Puritans and other fundamentalist extremists.
The early environmentalists and naturalists, sometimes called transcendentalists, such as Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and others from the 1800s, believed God was in nature. This is also what Saint Francis of Assisi taught much earlier in the 13th Century. There is much debate as to when environmentalism started, though it could be argued that St. Francis was the first environmentalist. Moving forward into the 19th and 20th Century, one of John Muir's main purposes for getting out into nature as often as possible, much like St. Francis, was to get closer to God and through immersion in the "works" of God, to have a spiritual, transcendent experience. A belief in God is not required to live a good life, but we must be careful of Godlessness and a lack of responsibility based on lack of faith in anything. Lack of faith in anything often blocks transcendent experience, which is part of what maintains our belief in existence and meaning in it. A belief in karma, what comes around goes around, or religious morality, even the threat of punishment has helped guide people toward fulfilling, thoughtful, sensitive and generous lives. It has kept people from living without regard for fellows or surroundings. When Friedrich Nietzsche said God is dead in the 1800s and people began to give up religion en masse, they no longer had an ethical basis for decisions or actions. People did not espouse any concept of consequences like the karmic law of cause and effect, which western civilization found in the East during that same time, but did not widely accept until much later. With religions often operating at the extremes and religious leaders acting in materialistic or perverted hypocritical ways, outdoor organizations, in many cases, actually now serve the purpose of educating people about God, Goddess, Great Spirit, Allah, Yahweh, All That Is, whatever you want to call It.
John Muir founded the Sierra Club in 1892. The Sierra Club's primary purpose was to educate people about how to live and take recreation in harmony with nature. The Sierra Club initiated the idea of national forest preserves that became our national forests. The early Sierra Club defended and helped maintain the sanctity of our national parks. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Sierra Club, Wilderness Society, Boy Scouts of America and other groups began to talk about the concept of minimal impact that later became Leave No Trace, which is a sort of environmental Golden Rule, or outdoor law of karma. The US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service cooperatively produced a pamphlet in 1987 titled, "Leave No Trace Land Ethics." In 1990, the Forest Service in conjunction with the National Outdoor Leadership School established a national education program of Leave No Trace, to work with the Forest Service instructions for motorized recreation called Tread Lightly. Low impact education is now offered through the Leave No Trace non-profit group and many other organizations all over the world.
Visit LNT.org for an expanded explanation of each principle.
The Leave No Trace principles could even be extrapolated into a business philosophy, a way to create true sustainability on earth. If we could operate industries such as mining and logging using long-term Leave No Trace principles, this would accomplish sustainability, in fact, not just in name. Most sustainability advocates are working too gradually, offering proposals that make industry just slightly greener in baby steps, rather than rethinking from the ground up. Again, just like the issues with Big Oil, and in our own private lives, these changes are often easier said than made, but we need to step up the pace, if the changes are to do any good, or stave off the destruction that is already under way.


If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you must go visit Bistro SF Grill! It is a cozy, intimate spot in San Francisco's Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. Co-owners Gino, Hasim, and Seni make you feel right at home with their slightly Balkan influenced menu and wine list; all three are originally from Bosnia-Herzegovina.
We had the pleasure of spending an evening with them this week to celebrate our latest arrival of Croatian wine. The guys put together a flight of 5 wines for guests to choose which included: Bibich Debit, Šipun Žlahtina, Bibich G6 Grenache, Miloš Plavac Mali, and Dubrovački Crljenak Kaštelanski (aka Croatian Zinfandel).
It was a fun night of exploration, good conversation, and wine! The experience is not complete without one of their fabulous burgers. I highly recommend the Balkan Burger, which is a lamb patty between pita bread with mint yogurt sauce.


The last two weeks I've had a good run. I was tired and fatigued as usual but I managed to have a week without headaches and feeling dizzy and sick. I'm grateful this was Christmas week and that I managed to get to my daughter's Nativity and have a nice Christmas, however my Hypo-adrenal symptoms are back and I feel so ill once again.
I'm back to laying in bed and feeling like crap. I could sense my BP dropping last night and so this morning I managed to get an emergency appointment with my GP.
Having Adrenal Insufficiency, any added stress on the body will use up my "Cortisol" more quickly than usual. When this happens, I need to take extra cortisol, top up or double dose. The thing is, there is no way of knowing how low in cortisol you are on the spot, (like a diabetic can test sugar) and I have to go by how I feel.
Also, I have to try with the Doctor to figure out what is causing me to get unwell so we can treat the underlying problem affecting my Adrenal Insufficiency which is a life threatening illness and can lead to death. It's true. Last week an online friend with my condition was complaining of an infection and saying the hospital were sending her home. The next day I found out she had died. Adrenal Insufficiency takes lives and so I have to be very careful. This is in part why we came to live where we do, ten minutes away from the Accident and Emergency- a place I frequent most months.
Underlying issues which cause my Cortisol to drop low are infections and fever and for me periods. I often find myself getting regular skin infections due to my steroid use. I'm dependent on steroids to stay alive, however, they also affect the quality of my skin and my immune system and I get regular infections.
Whenever I get these infections, I am ironically given steroid cream to help get rid of them. This is a regular issue for me and something I never had to deal with before my diagnosis.
I've had sudden adrenal crisis in the past when I've been in shock. I was in a supermarket and someone crashed their trolley into me. I suddenly dropped to the ground. Sudden surprises and shocks can knock my cortisol out of me and make me drop to the ground. I have an emergency injection for sudden unexpected crisis.
Earlier this year my daughter stood on a nail. I was not stressed, we took her to the hospital and all was calm, however during the Journey, Sylvia went into shock. She went pale and dizzy and naturally this caused my adrenaline to pump (as it would in any mother). When we arrived at the A&E I was standing at reception when I lost my ability to speak and collapsed. Another Adrenal Crisis starting due to sudden stress.
The biggest issue I have however and the one thing which has out me in hospital and made me the most unwell has been having a period. My first Endo said periods don't put the body under stress to the point they affect Cortisol, however he was very wrong.
Every single time I've had a period since 2013, I've had an adrenal crisis and gone to A and E or been admitted to hospital. The Endocrinologist finally recognised that for me a period is a dangerous thing. My Last period lasted 13 weeks and made me very unwell. I saw a gynaecologist and it was agreed that I needed a inter uterine coil – which will stop me from getting pregnant (as I'm not well enough for a baby) and will after 3-6 months potentially stop my periods.
Last month a specialist at the hospital performed a biopsy (for another reason) and at the same time inserted a coil to start the process of stopping my periods. It wasn't something I wanted but something that I know is best for me to help stabilise my health more. Unfortunately the procedure resulted in me going into an adrenal crisis (due to severe sudden pain) and I was rushed from the gynae suit to the Emergency department. I was given a lot of extra cortisol and within a few hours I was feeling much better.
So 16 days ago, I had a new period. Clearly the coil has not started working yet, I have to wait 6 months and based on my strange cycle history this period could last another 3 months. I managed to get through the first two weeks okay but this week things got really painful and heavy and last night it affected my Cortisol levels. I began to feel the usual hypo adrenal symptoms.
So today my husband took me to my GP in the wheelchair. My Doctor ruled out colds and infections and took my BP. My Blood pressure was on the low side and almost at the point where I usually go to A and E. I did a urine sample to rule out bladder infection and tomorrow I'll be having a blood test to check for further infection. This has to be done so we can rule out possibilities.
We concluded that it must again be my period and I was told to keep double dosing and if my Blood Pressure Drops further to go to the Hospital. So for now I'm back to laying in bed feeling unwell, dizzy and sick. I'm on Iron tablets and will be drinking plenty of fluids and eating some good sources of Iron and I will just have to ride this out however long it takes.
Eventually I wont have periods once the hormones in the coil start to work and then one of the major causes of my adrenal hypos will be on hold.
The longer I am unwell, the more I recognise my symptoms and know what is wrong. However due to being ill so often it can be hard to work things out. I'll always feel exhausted and tired as my steroid tablets don't mimic the cortisol levels the way an adrenal pump does. However the less underlying issues, the more chance of making my Adrenal Insufficiency more stable.
They say that the longer you have AI, the easier it is to manage and work out when symptoms get worse. It will never be a simple condition but the more I can do to reduce added stresses on the body and work out whats going on when I am extra unwell more than my usual sickness, the better for me and the greater chance of staying out of hospital.
It's not an esy illness to live with and I'm slowly getting there step by step. Thanks for stopping by. i appreciate it.
Hi Angela. Interesting to read your blog. Firstly have you ever had a day curve which will give you the precise amount of hydrocortisone you require and how long it takes to take effect in your system. Secondly why do you not have a Patient Specific Protocol with your local Ambulance Service. As I receive almost immediate paramedic assistance, I have almost eliminated hospital admissions so that I do not take the risk of affections. Thirdly, when you had the coil fitted you should have automatically taken additional hydrocortisone. Why are you not thinking of more drastic action of your periods. If you are convinced they are affecting your Addisons, obviously you eliminate completely that problem as you can do nothing about the Addisons. Lastly through the Addisons website, I know many people who have lived for many decades with Addisons and have even got through cancer treatment. You should therefore not look on the black side.
Take a day curve, cope seriously with the period problem and connect with your Ambulance Service.. Additionally I have stand by antibiotics so like Christmas Eve I knew I was developing a chest infection, doubled hydrocortisone and took the antibiotics.
Hi Lesley. Thanks for your comments, however you have made a lot of assumptions and totally misunderstood the purpose of my blog and I did not really find your suggestions helpful at all.
Firstly I do not have Addison's Disease. I have secondary Adrenal Insufficiency which is caused by the pituitary not working properly. I have had 3 Day curves but the results are always different as my brain sometimes makes cortisol and sometimes does not. It's not exactly the same and I am regularly unwell all the time. It's not as simple as a day curve for me. I've had plenty of day curves but am still unwell which is why I'm trying to get an adrenal pump.
Just because you receive immediate paramedic support, it does not mean everyone does, some AI patients have even died in the UK due to lack of ambulance staff knowledge. This is one of the reasons my friend Rachel Pegler and has worked hard to increase awareness amongst ambulance services. On almost every occasion I've had a crisis the ambulance staff have been intrigued and said they have not dealt with the condition before and they have not known what to do. They have spent time looking info up in a booklet and had to ask my husband what to do.This was the case when I lived in Yorkshire and in Lancashire. Also the hospital have had to ask my husband what to do on occasion as they are not familiar with the illness. It's not black and white and the same for everyone.
You assumed I did not automatically increase my hydrocortisone when I had a coil fitted. Of course I did increased my Hydrocortisone. I am well aware about stress dosing and do so for any procedure I have. I would never put my life at risk intentionally. However the double dose was not enough and I went into crisis. This can happen. It happened when I had a dental procedure and so I had to triple the next time. My body can clear cortisol very fast I have found.
Again, you ask me why I'm not taking drastic action if my periods are causing adrenal crisis? That again is a major inaccurate assumption. I was reffered to the Gynaecology team because of this issue and they recommended stopping the periods with the coil. I am recently married and hope to have more children in the future so I'm not about to go and chop my womb out when I have plans to get an Adrenal Pump and get my health better managed. When I do get more well, I hope to have a second child.
Yes people have lived with Addison's for many years but many have also died from the illness. I hear of this every month, I have friends in groups who have died from a crisis, one this week it is a very real and serious condition. The research conducted at manchester Uni also shows that secondary AI patients often end up in hospital a lot more often which is why they wee looking at the pump to help them stay more stable.
You say I look on the black side… I don't think so. My blog is about awareness and sharing information about Adrenal Insufficiency with others. I have hundreds of people thank me for my posts and say how helpful they are and my Blog is about being positive and living the best life I can with illness. That is not the black side!
Finally, it is not as simple as taking antibiotics and doubling up for me and many others. So often patients with AI,especially secondary AI, don't know what is causing the problem and whilst we double up, we cant take antibiotics willy nilly when we are unsure if we have an infection in the first place. We also need to go to the doctor for antibiotics as it's a prescription medication.
I'm sorry but I found your comment quite judgemental and assuming and while you may mean well, this is the very reason, I write my blog, because of people like you who assume Adrenal Insufficiency is exactly the same for every one and that the TEXTBOOK is always right. When in fact more needs to be done to help people with my condition, more research needs to be conducted and more awareness raised, because awareness saves lives and provides a means for empathy and understanding.
I am so glad you had some good days for Christmas. I did too, but am battling a bad Thrush problem in my mouth, you never know what will happen next. So sorry about your friend.
Thanks Maureen. Sadly Adrenal Insufficiency does take lives… which is why I am fighting hard to get the best treatment for me and then in the future for others too!
Hi Angela, Hope you're starting to feel better. Your conclusion about periods causing a crisis is something I had suspected in regards to my daughter but was told by the endo that it wasn't true.
Have you considered crowd funding to get your pump?
Oh and by the way, the title of this post is What cause "ME" to go into adrenal crisis not everyone and it is meant to be a interest piece to help others who are still working this out for themselves, not for people who have had the illness decades and know everything about how their body works with the illness.
Hi thanks for sharing. It's great when I here of people with Addison's who are able to live normal lives. I have been trying to get the right help for many months and it's not that simple..but I will keep trying to get the help I need. I cannot live a normal life being as sick as i am but i do know i could if i got treated correctly so that is my goal.
Angela I just wanted to say thank you so much for this blog. It's been so helpful and informative for me. I'm 32 live in Melbourne Australia and I was diagnosed with Addison's disease about two months ago though I suspect I probably had it for a couple of years. Until I went to hospital and got diagnosed I hadn't even heard of it so I did a lot of googling from my hospital bed. I have learnt so much from your blog you write beautifully. You explain things very well and I can picture what's taking place. I have been trying to find out about the experience of others with Addison's but as you know it's very rare so this isn't easy. Though your experience isn't exactly the same as mine reading this has been the next best thing to talking to other people in my shoes. I have shared this with friends and family. All the best and thanks again.
Oh Katie, I am glad this has helped you. Yes I think AI can be a little different for each individual and the symptoms may vary but I'm glad it helps you and hope it can help. Good luck with your treatments Katie.
He has helped a lot of people, some I know and me. I have Adrenal Exhaustion (and had Adrenal Crises more than once) and believe I have always had it but now control it through information I received from Dr. Brouse. You can do everything by phone and mail. He can get to the bottom of your challenges and help you control or reverse the condition.


Our God has a powerful name, a name that is above all other names, a name that conquers, champions and empowers. A name that uplifts, encourages and shifts atmospheres.
Anxiety however is not in His name and we do not have to live our lives being controlled by it. I understand how easy it can be to get caught up in our weekly tasks and the things that stress us daily that we forget who God is, we forget to talk to Him and spend time with Him. This allows anxiety to creep in and we begin to let it take control over our lives.
I am the God above all the nations, and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth'.
I don't know about you but reading this has changed my life. I realized that often my anxiety comes from striving, from trying to be perfect in all that I do. So much so that I forget who God is and it isn't until I take a moment to be still and I surrender my anxiety reflecting on who God is that things begin to change.
I want to encourage you to spend more time being still in God's presence, surrender your anxiety and reflect on who God is. Your anxiety will cease as God's overwhelming peace comes upon you.
1. Do I feel anxious on a regular basis?
2. Why am I anxious? Is my trust in God or in my own abilities?
3. Can I spend more time talking and listening to God?

SouthworldChurches November 2011Myanmar – Young at heart
Saturday, 29 October 2011 9:03
Written by:	Fr.Carmine
Category:	Churches November 2011
Myanmar is now a world-famous country because of Aung San Suu Kyi, heroine of democracy. But she is not alone. In his autobiography, From the Land of Green Ghosts, Pascal Khoo Thwe wrote about his experience as a guerrilla fighter who had a chance to go and study in the UK. In the opening chapter about his life as a village boy, he speaks of an Italian missionary: "Indeed we children loved him. He clothed us, fed us and taught us until his death. He never returned to Italy. He became accustomed to being a quasi tribal chief, so far had he gone in adopting our customs… Like the ghosts of our ancestors, he and the other Italian priests became, after death, part of our society, pleasantly haunting and guarding our village." When Pascal wrote this, he was far from imagining that one of his Italian priest-friends, Fr. Clement Vismara (1897-1988), would be declared Blessed and in this way attract again the world attention on Myanmar.
Born in 1897 in Agrate Brianza, Italy, Fr. Clement Vismara took part in the First World War. From his war experience he understood that "life has value only if you give it for others", and thus he became a priest and missionary the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions in 1923 and left for Burma. Arriving in Toungoo, he spent six months in the bishop's house to learn English, then he set off for Kengtung, an almost unexplored land of forests and mountains. After fourteen days on horseback, he arrived at Kengtung where he remained for three months to be introduced to the local languages and then the superior of the mission accompanied him to Monglin, another six days on horseback away, his last destination, on the border between Laos, Thailand and China.
Fr. Clement, out of nowhere, built three parishes: Monglin, Mong Phyak and Kenglap. He used to live with three orphans in a mud and straw shed. His apostolate was to tour the tribal villages on horseback, to pitch his tent and make himself known: he brought medicine, pulled rotten teeth, adapted to the life of the tribal people, the climate, the dangers, the food of rice and spicy sauce, the hunting for meat. From the outset, he took in orphans and abandoned children in Monglin to educate them. Later, he founded an orphanage that became home to 250 orphans.
In his simplicity, Fr. Clement was clever and cunning: he had a kind of Gospel ingenuity. He tended to trust everybody, even those who did not deserve it. One time, he was stopped by some brigands who relieved him of everything he had. He exclaimed: "Poor people! They too were hungry!" Another time, when he was travelling with a group of people, the brigands appeared, but Fr. Clement faced them by saying: "Aren't you ashamed of robbing all these poor people the little they have?" He was an impressive man, big and more than six feet tall. The brigands listened to him.
Blessed Clement founded the Church in a corner of the world where there are no tourists, but only opium smugglers, black magicians and guerillas from different backgrounds. He brought peace and helped the nomadic tribes to settle within the territory. Gradually a Christian community was born. Through schooling and health care, the indigenous people raised their standards of living and now have doctors and nurses, artisans and teachers, priests and nuns, bishops and civil authorities. Many of them are called Clement and Clementine. He died June 15, 1988 in Mongping and is buried near the church and the Grotto of Lourdes, which he built. His grave is visited also by many non-Christians. Now, Father Clement Vismara was declared Blessed, the first step towards recognized sainthood.
Father Clement, even at 80, he had the same enthusiasm for his vocation, as priest and missionary, as when he was 20. He was always peaceful and joyful, generous to all, a man of God despite the tragic situations in which he lived. He had an adventurous and poetic vision of the missionary vocation that made him a fascinating character also through his writings.
His trust in Divine Providence was proverbial. He had no budgets or estimates; he never counted the money he had. In a country where the majority of people during some months of the year suffer from hunger, Fr. Clement gave food to all. He never turned anyone away empty-handed.
Pope Benedict has said "The saints are the great luminous trail on which God passes through history. In them we see that there truly is a force of good which resists the millennia; there truly is the light of light." One of these lights was brought to wider attention on June 26 when, Fr. Clement Vismara who died in 1988 at the age of 91 in a remote corner of Burma was beatified. In Buddhist Burma, today called Myanmar, Catholics are little more than one percent. If the Christian faith is rooted there, it is due precisely to a missionary like Fr. Clement Vismara, to the "luminous trail" radiated by his holiness.

W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym wieś a następnie zaścianek leżał w Polsce, w województwie nowogródzkim (od 1926 w województwie wileńskim), w powiecie brasławskim, w gminie Smołwy.

W 1931 w 4 domach zamieszkiwały 22 osoby.

Miejscowość należała do parafii rzymskokatolickiej w Tylży. Podlegała pod Sąd Grodzki w m. Turmont i Okręgowy w Wilnie; właściwy urząd pocztowy mieścił się w m. Turmont.

Martlets Draw with K-O
The Westminster boys earned a hard fought draw against a good KO side. Grinding contests are becoming the norm for the team, and they emerged for the second half a goal down but with a determined energy which was rewarded early in the half. Daniel Olaosebikan '26 is enjoying a good run of form in front of the goal and added his third in three games. It was a scrappy ball across the six yard box, which had evaded several pairs of legs, Westminster and KO alike, only to finally reach Daniel who was sharp on the ball and passed the ball into the goal. This was no less than the team deserved after a much better second half performance. Will McCarthy '25 enjoyed his best game of the season, rarely letting his energy levels drop and causing his opposite number a great deal of trouble. Will kept trying to make things happen, and he showed resilience to remain engaged even when his efforts were in vain. Finn Cathey '26 displayed an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time. If he continues to improve his technical ability then he will prove a useful member of the squad later in the season. Max Williams '25 put in a steady performance in defense. This is not Max's usual position, but he made a number of important challenges and was supremely calm under pressure. The JV Boys welcome Deerfield on Wednesday.

'Les Miserables,' 'Skyfall,' 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey': Why International Premieres Work
"Les Miserables" marks its global premiere in London, the latest studio-backed tentpole to choose and international premiere over a U.S. debut.
By Stuart Kemp, Scott Roxborough
December 5, 2012 9:07am
Les Miserables One Sheet - P 2012
When the first bars of music from director Tom Hooper's Les Miserables waft over the audience at the Empire Leicester Square theater in London tonight, it will mark the latest tentpole release to sing to an international tune first.
VIDEO: 'Les Misérables' Trailer
A growing uptick in studio-backed blockbuster titles debuting internationally over a more traditional, U.S.-first bow is just one endorsement of accepted Hollywood wisdom that more than 60 per cent of a title's revenues flow from overseas markets.
After its U.K. world bow, the Les Mis bandwagon – with a mix of stars including Amanda Seyfried, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway – will move to Japan for a Dec. 21 opening before finally landing in U.S. theaters on Christmas Day.
It's a release pattern that flies in the face of received wisdom that says the U.S. market should be the starting point for an increasingly global rollout for tentpole titles.
Just over a week ago, Peter Jackson turned Wellington, the capital of his native New Zealand, into a city-wide version of Middle Earth for the world premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on Nov. 28.
VIDEO: The Hard Road to 'The Hobbit'
Thousands of Hobbit fans lined the 1,600 foot-long red carpet outside Wellington's Embassy Theater, whose entrance was adorned with Bilbo Baggins' circular door as well as a huge clock counting down the days, hours and seconds to the premiere. National airline Air New Zealand, its planes decked out in Hobbit livery, flew in key cast from London and Los Angeles including Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Andy Serkis.
Like Les Miz, The Hobbit picked Japan as its next port of call, premiering there on Saturday, Dec. 1. The film will go out on multiple international territories before its U.S. bow on Dec. 14.
Skyfall premiered in U.K. on Oct. 23 and rolled out across Europe, Mexico, Hong Kong and Turkey before touching ground domestically Nov. 9.
Other big budget titles to take the foreign-first approach to release include Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which premiered in Russia, Resident Evil: Retribution (Japan) and The Three Musketeers (Germany).
In many cases, the international start is essentially part of a day-and-date release. Transformers 3 rolled out globally within a week of its Moscow debut and the New Zealand and Japanese bows of The Hobbit are limited, with wide release in those territories timed to the film's global bow next week.
Even Les Miserables' U.K. premiere is more of a nod to local producers Working Title and Brit helmer Hooper than a full-out foreign launch. The film's wide British rollout kicks off Jan. 11, after the U.S. bow.
However Universal, which is releasing the film worldwide, still hopes to benefit from the hype surrounding the high-profile London event.
Ahead of the Les Miserables premiere, a Universal insider told THR it was nice "to be at home
with a film that is being talked up as a commercial and a critical success already."
Increasingly, however, producers are going one step further and using foreign markets as a springboard to build up box office momentum before hitting the U.S.
The international first strategy has its roots among independents that take lead producer roles in tentpoles for the studios (as is the case with Working Titles on Les Mis) or wholly back their own big budget productions.
"We've had a good experience with a 'tailor-made' release schedule… sometimes it just makes more sense to start (a film) in an international territory and then move to the U.S.," Martin Moskowicz, head of film and television at Musketeers producer Constantin Film told THR. "In general, you can say the advantages of a 'day and date' release can't be the sole criteria, because the competition situation in individual territories, especially from local productions, is different. And different territories have different cinema seasons."
The studios took a page out of the indies' playbook this summer, when they bowed several titles in Europe, including Battleship (Universal), Prometheus (Fox) and Snow White and the Huntsman (Universal) – far in advance of the U.S., hoping to avoid competition with television broadcasts of the European Soccer Championships.
The main argument against an international premiere - that online piracy will sabotage the domestic release – does not seem a major concern for distributors taking the foreign first approach.
Skyfall's early British bow hasn't hurt the 23rd Bond. The Daniel Craig-starrer continues to set box office records worldwide  it just became the highest-grossing film of all time in the U.K., beating out James Cameron's Avatar and has set franchise records across Europe.
And, despite rolling out in several territories a full two weeks ahead of the States, Skyfall opened to $88.4 million in the U.S., a record for the 50-year-old franchise, soaring past the $67.5 million domestic debut for Quantum of Solace and more than double the $40.8 million Casino Royale took in on its first American weekend.
Similarly, the international start for The Hobbit isn't expected to hurt its U.S. performance.
There has been one high profile warning sign for those who insist on the traditional America first strategy.
For Cloud Atlas, the opulent fantasy epic from directors Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski siblings, Warner Bros. opted to premiere in the U.S. – with less-than stellar results. The $100 million film opened to a soft $9.6 million and has grossed just $26 million domestically. WB is taking a piecemeal approach to the title globally, bowing Cloud Atlas in several major territories, including the U.K., France, Japan and Spain, in February and March of next year.
Meanwhile, its first international bow, in Russia via indie A Company and 20th Century Fox, was a huge success. Cloud Atlas earned a whopping $9.1 million, including previews in Russia and CIS on its first weekend and has so far earned close to $16 million in Russia alone, making the U.S. figure seem a bit lowball.

2016 BUDGET, OUR…
2016 BUDGET, OUR ARTICLE OF FAITH WITH LAGOSIANS – AMBODE
Sumbo
…Signs N662.588bn Appropriation Bill To Law
…Lagos Will Not Introduce New Taxes-Commissioner
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday signed the N662.588bn Y2016 Appropriation Law with a promise that the budget would be faithfully implemented in line with the determination of his administration to make Lagos work for all, irrespective of age, gender, tribe or status.
The Governor who spoke at a brief but impressive ceremony held at the Banquet Hall, Lagos House, said the 2016 budget was the article of faith of his administration with Lagosians and it was in line with delivering on the promises made to the people.
He said: "The Y2016 budget of N662.588bn will enable our government focus on the present challenges of security, traffic gridlock resolution including physical and social infrastructural developments which have thrown up new challenges quite different from our past experience".
The Governor thanked the House of Assembly for speedily ensuring the passage of the bill which he presented to the House on December 17 and passed on December 31, saying it was no mean feat considering the long hours spent and meticulous scrutiny provided by the House Committee on Appropriation.
While alluding to the fact that the falling crude oil prices has sprung up economic challenges as well as affected the Federal Allocations, he said the State's budget will be driven by Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
He, however, urged tax payers to fulfill their civic obligations, promising that no stone will be left unturned in delivering value for every Kobo spent.
"I will commend this Budget to all Lagosians and enjoin them to continue collaborating with us in building the Lagos of our dreams", he said.
Giving a breakdown of the 2016 budget, tagged "The Peoples Budget", the Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Akinyemi Ashade said it will go a long way to promote massive investments in Security, Transport/Traffic management, Physical and Social Infrastructural development in addition to enhancing job creation/opportunities.
He said the 2016 budget is 26 percent higher than the budgets of 2014 and 2015 respectively, with an estimated total revenue of N542.873bn with the balance of N119.714bn expected to be funded through a combination of internal and external loans included World Bank DPO 3 loan which could not be accessed in 2015.
He said the Lagos Internal Revenue Service is expected to generate N300billion equivalent to 78 percent of the total IGR, however adding that while the state government does not intend to introduce new taxes, efforts will be made towards bringing more citizens into the tax net especially the informal sector as well as through the adoption of an automated process to block leakages.
According to Ashade, the Y2016 budget was carefully prepared taking into consideration recent developments in the Global and National Economy Spheres, adding that although the State Government adopted the National Crude Oil projection of $38 per barrel, the budget will be largely driven by IGR made up of taxes, rates and levies.
He said the underlying principles of the budget include planned and systematic maintenance of existing/new infrastructural facilities, completion of ongoing projects, payment of outstanding liabilities, sustenance of the goals of job creation, poverty eradication and wealth creation in addition to efficient service delivery to Lagosians.
Giving a breakdown of the expenditure plan, Ashade said N89billion will be spent on construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of roads and public buildings, while N48.9billion will be expended on various Transportation initiatives including the completion of the Blue Rail Line and expansion of BRT Corridors (Mile 12-Ojota).
The Commissioner also said that N86billion will be spent on the education sector, which according to him, will cover the state government flagship programmes including A-Meal-a-Day initiative to be partly sponsored by the Federal Government, Ibile tablets for Secondary Schools as well as the development of the E-Curriculum initiative.
He gave the expenditure breakdown of other sectors to include, Health (N46.9bn) Agriculture and Food Security (N2bn), Tourism (N2.2bn), Commerce and Industry (N6.2bn), Environment (N27bn), Pensions (N6.5bn), Science and Technology (N9.6bn), Water (N17.6bn), Housing (N25.3bn), Sports Development (N2.3billion), among others.

Can a Catholic Vote for Death of the Unborn?
Let's get this out-of-the-way right now: No Catholic or pro-life Christian or Jew can, in good conscience, vote for Barack Obama.
Because he is dedicated to the proposition that all humans are not created equal if they happen to be in their mother's womb waiting to be born. In that case they are disposable.
In short, Barack Obama avidly supports the murder of unborn humans. And they are humans contrary to the baby butchers at Planned Parenthood. Even medical science says so.
As the eloquent and gifted Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver puts it, Obama "whatever his other talents, is the most committed 'abortion-rights' presidential candidate of either major party since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973."
That means that if Barack Obama has his way, the numbers of millions more unborn babies will be added to the 40 million already butchered since Roe v. Wade became the law of the land.
That sounds bad enough in the abstract, but what it really means is that countless numbers of innocent unborn human beings will continue to be put to death in the most grisly fashions, writhing in pain as they are sliced up in pieces and vacuumed from the alleged sanctity of their mother's womb, scalded to death, grabbed by the legs when fully developed and ready to be born, drawn out of the womb until their heads are accessible in the birth canal, and having scissors plunged into the back of their heads and their brains vacuumed out.
This last procedure — partial birth abortion — called by the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan as nothing short of infanticide was supported by Barack Obama when he voted against outlawing it when in the Illinois Senate. And if he imposes the Freedom of Choice act as promised, it will be legal in all 50 states.
I refuse to consider anybody's tender sensibilities in this matter, but if you are planning to vote for Barack Obama, you need to know what being "the most committed 'abortion-rights' presidential candidate of either major party since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973" really means.
It means supporting such atrocities as the so called dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure which is done during the second trimester (four-six months) of pregnancy without any anesthetic to deaden the infant's excruciating pain as it is butchered.
A pliers-like tool is used to crush the baby's bones and skull which are calcified. The abortionist inserts it into the uterus, grabs a leg or other part of the body and, with a twisting motion, rips it out of the baby's body. This is repeated again and again as the infant is torn to pieces, bit by bit. In order to remove them, the spine must be cracked and the skull crushed. A nurse then re-assembles the body parts to be sure that none have been left in the mother's womb.
Then there is the method called "candy apple babies" used after the first three months of pregnancy. The abortionist injects a strong salt solution directly into the fluid in the amniotic sac encasing the baby who breathes and swallows it and is poisoned, struggling and sometimes convulsing.
This horrendous procedure takes more than an hour to kill the baby, which is delivered in a day or two (sometimes still alive!).
The dead infants are called "candy apple" babies because the corrosive effect of the salt solution often burns and strips away the outer layer of the baby's skin leaving the raw, red, glazed-looking subcutaneous layer of tissue. As a result, the baby's head sometimes looks like a candy apple. The method has been compared to the effect of napalm on innocent war victims.
Guess where it originated? Nowhere else but in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
These are some of the atrocities you are approving if you vote for Barack Obama who is pledged to allow them to continue and even in some cases expand.
Obama, you see, has pledged that if elected, one of his first acts will be to implement the so-called the Freedom of Choice Act.
It would eliminate individual states' rights to limit abortions of babies, including partial-birth abortion bans, mandatory parental notification of a teenager's desire to abort, and any other conditions and limitations on abortions.
It might be better called the "abortion everywhere and forever act."
These are some of the reasons Archbishop Chaput instructs, "As adults, each of us needs to form a strong Catholic conscience. Then we need to follow that conscience when we vote. And then we need to take responsibility for the consequences of the vote we cast.
"Nobody can do that for us. That's why really knowing and living our Catholic faith is so important. It's the only reliable guide we have for acting in the public square as disciples of Jesus Christ."
He might have added that his advice applies equally to pro-life Christians and Jews. They too must form a strong conscience if they are to remain faithful to their beliefs.
Those Catholics who seek to excuse their vote for Obama by claiming that they believe his stands on such issues as health and welfare and the economy outweigh his abortion support ignore the reality that without the right to life no other rights are possible. You have to be alive to enjoy them.
Just keep in mind: if you ignore these facts and warnings and Obama wins, your hands will be drenched with the blood of millions of unborn infants. Millions!
Sorry, but the fact that the truth hurts doesn't mean it should remain unspoken. Consider it spoken.
A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for death.

Housekeeper sues pastor Marvin Winans: He shook me down for money
Tresa Baldas
Her job was to clean the church. But the church tried to clean her out instead, she claims.
In a blistering lawsuit against the Grammy-winning Rev. Marvin Winans and his Perfecting Church, a housekeeper named Lakaiya Harris claims the gospel music star and church officials shook her down for money. They required her to donate money toward birthday gifts for supervisors and managers and to tithe 10% of her salary to the church, the lawsuit claims.
When she refused to pony up, Harris says, she was fired.
According to the 18-page lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, it was Winans who demanded that Harris donate 10 percent of her $18,000-a-year housekeeper's salary to the church. Winans allegedly did this during a meeting in a conference room in 2017, telling Harris "that it had come to his attention" that she earned $18,000 the year before.
" 'So you owe us $1,800,' " Winans allegedly told Harris, the suit states. "When she stated that she didn't have the money, he offered to deduct the $1,800 directly from her biweekly paychecks."
Harris refused, stating she was not going to let the church deduct $1,800 from her paycheck and "complained that her job had already been threatened for not giving 'birthday money,' " the suit states.
Snyder won't endorse Schuette for governor
Tigers' Mario, Rod in 'severe' physical incident
According to the lawsuit, supervisors repeatedly required Harris to give $10-$25 to buy birthday presents for managers and once offered to deduct the money from her paycheck "if need be." One supervisor allegedly pestered Harris when she refused to donate to the birthday fund, telling her "Well, you're going to have to give this $10. ... I know you have $10 floating around in your little world, you just don't want to give it up. Everybody has to give this," the suit states.
At issue for Harris is that she is both a member of Perfecting Church, and an employee. In her lawsuit, she claims that other employees who work for the church but don't belong to it aren't required to tithe as a condition of employment.
But she is. And forcing only church-member-employees to give back 10 percent of their earnings violates employment and civil rights laws, Harris claims.
As of late Wednesday, Winans could not be reached for comment. It is not clear whether he knows about the civil suit as such lawsuits typically take longer than a day to get served on defendants.
According to the lawsuit, the church not only demanded money from Harris, but also cheated her out of overtime pay by manipulating her time clock records "in order to avoid paying her for overtime hours worked."
"Perfecting also implemented an unlawful time-docking policy to penalize employees who arrived late," states the lawsuit, which cited the church's Tardiness Policy.
"Each time an employee is late he or she will be docked according to the following schedule," states the policy, as cited in the suit. For example, if an employee is tardy 1-15 minutes, they get 15 minutes of pay docked from their check.
According to the lawsuit, this is what prompted Harris to sue:
Harris was employed by Perfecting from March 2012 through January 2017. She worked as a housekeeper and spent the first several weeks of her employment cleaning the Marvin L. Winans Academy of Performing Arts, an elementary and middle school headed by Winans. After several weeks, she was transferred to Perfecting's main church on East Nevada, on the city's east side.
Winans is the founder and president of Perfecting Church, which owns at least 90 commercial and residential properties in Detroit and employs about 40 workers to clean and maintain them. Among them was Harris.
At a staff meeting in 2016, Harris openly stated to Winans that she was not happy about not being paid for work she was doing. In October of that year, Winans directed Harris to meet with him in his office, where he asked her why she hadn't attended church recently. According to the suit, Harris said that she was exhausted from working long hours and not being paid, and complained that her job was being threatened for refusing to donate toward birthday gifts to supervisors.
Three months later, Harris was summoned to another meeting with Winans and another church official. It was at this meeting that Winans mentioned the tithing issue, and deducting $1,800 from Harris' check.
Harris wouldn't hear of it.
So Winans responded: " 'Well, that pretty much terminates your employment with us. ... You can go ahead and proceed with the exit interview.' "
Harris was fired that day.

My heart melts when I hear clients want to schedule 2 hours on their wedding day for portraits and then go the extra mile to sign a friend up to drive us all over the city (who waited patiently in the car avoiding parking tickets). Andrea + Joey and I were able to hit up location after location (including shots at a favorite bar!) all over Seattle before settling for their ceremony and celebration at the Westland Distillery.
This was the last wedding I have scheduled for 2018, and it was the perfect way to cap a spectacular year. I'm headed off on a few trips now (Nepal first and then Washington D.C.) so be sure to hit up my Instagram for the day-to-day updates!
Joey + Andrea, Thank you for being two epic human beings and trusting all my tinkering to create something for you to remember!

← Friday the 13th: MUNI Meltdown Wrap Up, and More!
Thursday Commute: How's It Going So Far?
I took a few days off because frankly, after last week's disaster, and the Cylon-esque T-Third Ceremonies (for which I'll post a short article and photos later), I needed a break.
However I wanted to start an open thread here on today's commute, which according to the Chronicle is potentially a disaster as the Giants have an afternoon game, and they'll be trying to cram as many trains in the tunnel as possible.
Given many of the problems people have been talking about, similar to the one that Metroblogging SF writer Jason DeFillippo reported yesterday, it makes me a bit worried.
Post your observations in the comments. Also, feel free to discuss the latest ratings by citizens of MUNI, which has dropped to a C-. Is that acceptable to you as a MUNI rider? Or perhaps should MUNI shoot a little higher?
PS: If you haven't already seen this absolutely priceless photo by Luke Thomas at Fog City Journal, check it out. It was taken during the big Meltdown of 2007 last week. What captions would you come up with for our Fearless Leaders?
3 Responses to Thursday Commute: How's It Going So Far?
I've mostly been been taking BART to school and to downtown; I just didn't have the energy to deal with more MUNI messes. However, I did take MUNI downtown last Monday and was upset at how crowded the cars still were at 11 AM. Needless to say, I took BART back to my neighborhood and walked the extra blocks home. I saw your photos on the opening; nice photos — too bad they have no relationship to MUNI reality. How goes the apartment hunting?
N Judah is absolutely the worse train I have ever seen in my entire life. The schedule is a HUGE problem, and the trains are always broken. I don't understand why they can't see the N Judah with their own eyes. Every single train is so crowded, and it is ALWAYS late.
It is ridiculous to wait for your train for 25 minutes during rush hour, and the train ends up being too crowded to get on. WIth N Judah, that happens EVERYDAY.
I can not believe I am paying tax money to get absolutely the worst service I can possibly get with N Judah. MUNI people are obviously the stupidest people in the world.

Decoding the Iran Nuclear Deal
Gary Samore
Read more about Decoding the Iran Nuclear Deal
On April 2, 2015, the E.U. (speaking on behalf of the P5+1 countries) and Iran announced agreement on "key parameters" for a comprehensive agreement on Iran's nuclear program. The E.U.-Iran Joint Statement is buttressed by unilateral facts sheets issued by the U.S. and Iran, which provide further details of the framework accord. Negotiators now turn to translating this framework accord into a final comprehensive agreement by June 30, 2015. Members of Congress and their staffs, as well as informed citizens, are now focusing on the Iranian challenge and assessing the framework accord. The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School has prepared this Policy Brief summarizing key facts, core concepts, and major arguments for and against the current deal aimed at stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The purpose of this Policy Brief is not to advocate support for or opposition to the tentative deal that has been negotiated, but rather to provide an objective, nonpartisan summary to inform Members and others in coming to their own conclusions. The team of experts who prepared this report includes Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and internationals, who have many disagreements among themselves but who agree that this Brief presents the essentials objectively.
