Been rode hard, put away wet.
RE: Been rode hard, put away wet.
First and foremost: THANK YOU ALL! Your support has meant so much to me that it say me through what has been the toughest time in my life. I cannot really express in words how much your generous sharing and responses meant to me. Although I would prefer to shake all of your hands, and thank you individually and personnaly, I am hopeful that you're checking this post, and can accept my sincerest appreciation.
On 2/21 I had my first visitation with my daughter at her mothers residence. The weather was not so good, we had very slick roads due to ice and snow. When I'd arrived, the mother stated that she'd prefer not to leave, but would not interfere with my time. She also stated that she interpreted the CO to not "force" her out of her own home, but to give me quality time with our child. I interpreted it the same, but wasn't about to share that with her. In the interest of not wanting her to get in an accident on my concience, I agreed that she could stay as long as she didn't interfere, as she'd stated.
After having some time with my daughter, I've realized that the scar's that would be left with me if I were to relinquish parental rights would be too much to bear. So, I'm going to go with the plan for now, and see how it goes. I'm keeping the faith.
Just a side note on how to find the strength to go on.
The marine Corps taught me some valuable life lessons. Two words do NOT exist for me,, cant and quit. I dont know what they mean.
Adapt innovate and overcome became my personal mantra.
It's all mental. If in your mind you see yourself as an unstoppable force of nature, then you will be, Your mind, your will and your intelligence will make it happen.
Im soooo glad you got your visitation goin!!!!!!
Courage is not action in the absense of fear, it is action inspite of fear.
It certainly sounds that your sanity is in check. Anytime, we are threatened with loosing a loved one through any means, things get crazy within us and around us. Using boards such as this one as sounding boards are great! SOmetimes, these are enough. IF not, seek out counseling from a church or community mental health center that offers sliding scale fees. Many churches will provide it for free.

Boutinot has taken on the distribution of its first English wine producer, Henners, for on-trade and independent merchants, following its recent launch into the UK market.
Boutinot has taken on the distribution of its first English wine producer Henners, for on-trade and independent merchants, following its recent launch into the UK market.
Boutinot said it chose Henners because it fitted with its ethos of premium quality, attention to detail and small-scale production.
The range consists of a Vintage 2009 (rrp £27), which contains equal proportions of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, a Vintage Reserve 2009 (rrp £30), which consists of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir; and Rosé Blanc de Noir 2010 (rrp £30), which is 61% Pinot Noir and 29% Pinot Meunier.
Henners' first sparkling wine, its 2009 vintage, was launched earlier this year by owner Larry Warr and winemaker Ben Murray. The 4ha plot in Herstmonceux, East Sussex, was planted in 2007 with a combination of free-draining sandstone soils, and its south-facing aspect enables consistent and even ripening.
Only fruit from Henners' own vineyard goes into its wines, which are released a minimum of 27 months on lees and at least five months on the cork, post-disgorgement, for the Vintage and Vintage Reserve.
The winery uses a non-interventionist approach to achieve maximum expression from the fruit.

Although it looks simple, Duluth Pack put handy pockets throughout this bag to store those items you need while wandering. The main compartment is big enough for binoculars and a small field guide and has a generously sized zippered pocket. Under the top flap on the Haversack's front is another full-length open pocket faced with flat pockets ideal for pens, a small note pad, or calculator. We even included pockets on the outside ends that would easily fit a small cell phone or iPod®. 18-ounce canvas throughout, the Haversack has leather trim and piping, and a leather flap strap with brass roller buckle. An adjustable leather shoulder strap insures carrying comfort while you wander the woods or sidewalks.

The cultivation and use of cannabis in the Philippines is illegal under Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. As the Philippines is a signatory to the 1961 United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which limits its use to medical and scientific purposes. Marijuana is the second most used drug in the Philippines, after shabu (methamphetamine), and most cultivation in the country is for local consumption. Cannabis is cultivated mostly in the remote, mountainous regions of Luzon and Mindanao.

Legality

Cannabis has been illegal in the Philippines since 1972 by virtue of Republic Act No. 6425, or the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972. RA6425 classified marijuana as a prohibited drug, and detailed out punishments for the importation, sale, manufacture, cultivation, possession, and use of the drug, as well as possession of any drug-related paraphernalia. RA6425 also created the Dangerous Drugs Board, giving it jurisdiction over drug-related cases. In 2002, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 was signed, repealing RA6425. RA9165 also enabled the creation of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, which handles the implementation and enforcement of policies and strategies made by the Dangerous Drugs Board.

Under the current law, the importation, sale, maintenance of a den, dive or resort, manufacture, use, and cultivation of marijuana and marijuana-related products shall be met with life imprisonment and a fine.

While cannabis remains widely illegal including medical use, individuals with serious or terminal illness may apply for special permit from Food and Drugs Authority for drugs unregistered in the Philippines including those containing cannabis. Since issuance of permits began in 1992, only one application has been filed to seek consent to use cannabis oil as of December 2018.

Statistics
In 2015, the Dangerous Drugs Board estimated, based on admission data in drug rehabilitation centers, that around 25% of center clients use marijuana.

Arrests for marijuana have been steady in recent years. In 2016, the PDEA eradicated a total of 337 marijuana sites. In the first seven months of 2015, PDEA reported conducting 22 successful cannabis eradication operations, resulting in the destruction of 117 growing sites and the seizure of cannabis valued at approximately US$3.5 million. That same year PDEA eradicated a total of 286 marijuana sites. In 2014, the PDEA reported that 8.9% of all drug seizures they made that year involved marijuana, and that they eradicated a total of 506 growing sites, the largest in recent years.

Reform
A pro-medical marijuana NGO called the Philippine Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (PORMAL) seeks to challenge the law in order to legalize its use, however there is opposition from both the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and senators like Vicente Sotto III. The PDEA claims that marijuana is a gateway drug that can lead to the abuse of harder substances. Senator Sotto has asked PORMAL to submit empirical evidence on the benefits of marijuana use.

Medical use
On May 26, 2014, Isabela representative Rodolfo Albano III introduced House Bill No. 4477, known as the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act to the 16th Congress of the Philippines, which would legalize the use of medical marijuana. The Inquirer describes this bill as a "hotly-debated topic." This bill was filed in the Philippine Congress to legalize the use of medical marijuana in 2014. One of the bill's co-authors, Leah Paquiz, said "We are at this stage, we have Filipinos who need care, we should give them compassionate care - this medical cannabis. There are a lot of medicines, but they are expensive." The bill was, however, ultimately not passed during the 16th Congress. Albano has filed the bill during the 17th Congress of the Philippines.

President Rodrigo Duterte said during his election campaign that he supported medical marijuana, but that he would leave any decision to the concerned government department.

In 2022, Senator Robin Padilla filed a bill legalizing medical use of cannabis drugs. However there were concerns among some senators that there is a lack of safeguard against unauthorized cultivation of marijuana.

Cannahopefuls is a group in the Philippines that advocates medical use of cannabis. They believe that the process of acquiring compassionate use permit for medical marijuana is prohibitively tedious and expensive.

Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
Throughout the birth and growth of the Suffoca brand, I've found that a lot of people, whether it's in interviews or conversation, will ask you what your inspiration is and, as I'm sure you'll have realised for yourselves, this very rarely comes from a single thing.
I have collected different images for years. I used to rip out pictures, adverts from anywhere and everywhere and collect knick-knacks that I'd lay out in a scrap book to help give me that kick start you sometimes need when approaching a blank canvas or piece of paper without a solid concept in place. It's strange, and wonderful, what effects collecting attractive imagery can have and it's on this experience that sites like Tumblr and Pinterest have built themselves up on. The effects can really boost your confidence, structure your ideas and even make you feel happier overall!
I'm all for positive intervention. Being happy and positive will have a knock-on effect in everything you do and lead on to more happiness or success as you see it.
After watching a series of Aaron Draplin talks, it's clear how much sharing your findings and knowledge can have an effect on others and which can then come back to help you out in many ways, if you're lucky.
Therefore I've decided to start opening up my collections of inspiration, maybe in a traditional mood-board layout or maybe even by featuring different artists and people that inspire me. With any luck these things will give you some great ideas as they have done for me.

Is talking about HT cost a sin at Hairsite?
Admin, why are you deleting my posts regarding the cost of an HT?
The prices are listed on Hairsite so what's the problem with restating the cost in the posts??
the cost depends upon the experience of doctors and requirement of hair transplant of patient.

Devotional Readings
Acts 16 – Are visions possible today?
February 9, 2016 March 6, 2018 Ron Francis
Perhaps this chapter helps describe what events in the early church were like.
As to our discussion….
Act 16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
This was somewhat common during that period, I'm sure you can think of other instances.
But it wasn't universal in their day nor in ours.
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
We have God's word in the Bible, the Holy Spirit must still open our hearts to hear it.
This happened then and still does today…
Act 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
It is certainly possible for God to use a vision or dream to open someone's heart to his word, how can I take that option away from God's sovereign realm? I don't think it is a norm, but it is possible.
A more normal pattern is….
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I think what we all understand is that God has completed his word, and that he is not giving new writings and prophesy to be added to the back of our Bibles.
Hopefully, this is clear.

Timothy Joins Paul and Silas
Act 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father wasa Greek:
Act 16:2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Act 16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Act 16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
Act 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

Act 16:7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Act 16:8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
Act 16:10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Act 16:11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

Act 16:13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
Act 16:15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
Paul and Silas in Prison
Act 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Act 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
Act 16:18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Act 16:19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
Act 16:20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Act 16:21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Act 16:22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
Act 16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Act 16:24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
The Philippian Jailer Converted
Act 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Act 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Act 16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
Act 16:28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Act 16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
Act 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Act 16:32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Act 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
Act 16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Act 16:35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Act 16:36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
Act 16:37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
Act 16:38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
Act 16:39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
Act 16:40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

PORTLAND, Maine - Without their Social Security benefits, the number of Maine seniors living in poverty would jump by 36 percentage points, according to a new report.
In these difficult economic times, said report author Paul Van de Water, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Social Security prevents 15 million seniors nationwide from falling into poverty. Eliminating those benefits, he said, would produce a major jump in senior poverty.
"In Maine, the poverty rate among the elderly is only 8 percent, taking account of Social Security," he said. "But if there were no Social Security, the poverty rate would be 44 percent - fully 36 percentage points higher."
All told, he said, Social Security is preventing 76,000 Maine seniors from falling into poverty. In addition to being a reliable source of retirement money for people at all income levels, he said, those benefits now are the primary social safety net for older folks.
One of the most talked-about proposals for trimming Social Security - the so-called "chained CPI" - could be especially hard on older people already living near the poverty line unless provisions are made to protect them, Van de Water said.
"If that were done, we think it would be particularly important to make sure that there was some protection provided for the lowest-income Americans, and for people who have been on the benefit rolls a long time and therefore would be the most likely to be affected by that proposal," he said.
The report, "Social Security Keeps 22 Million Americans Out of Poverty: A State-By-State Analysis," is online at cbpp.org.

"A Big Step For China"
The central standing committee of the People's Republic of China's National Congress on December 26, 2004 approved a draft bill for what has come to be known as the "Anti-Secession Law." This is a big step for China. Unfortunately it's in the wrong direction.
Evolutionary biologists have long known that the fastest evolution, the quickest development in a line of organisms, doesn't occur on continents but in archipelagos of many close but separate islands, where it's possible for populations to make local experiments. The successes spread like lightning through the region. The failures remain local or fizzle out.
Not China, but Europe, with its many separate and distinct nations, cultures and languages, spawned modern civilization. It's no accident. We think of China as a country, but it's not. China isn't analogous to, say, Germany, Italy or England. It's the Asian equivalent of Europe and, like Europe, China is, in fact, composed of many separate regions, each having its own individual history, language and nationality. This truth has been obscured by China's historical fixation on empire. If this "Anti-Secession Law" is intended to pave the way for a move against Taiwan, it only shows how firmly entrenched China still is in its dysfunctional past.
For China to gobble up Taiwan like it did Tibet would, admittedly, not be good for Taiwan, which is much better off as it is. But the point I would like to make here is that neither would it be good for China. The "One China" policy never benefited China. It has all but defeated everything that's splendidly and vibrantly Chinese. Consider this one fact: it's the little specks of vast China, those tiny particles of territory historically unconnected to the corrupt power center, that have moved forward with such singular verve into the modern world -- Taiwan, Singapore, and, until recently, Hong Kong. What China needs is to follow the example of its success stories, not strangle them one by one. The "archipelago effect" works, the "continental scenario" doesn't. This is the message that should be getting through to China's leaders.
What China needs isn't an "Anti-Secession Law" but a program for the orderly secession of its different constituent nationalities so that, one by one, each may set out like Taiwan on its own amazing adventure, forging its own unique way of being Chinese. Only in this way can China, so long stymied, break out and finally achieve its proper place of leadership in the civilized world.
China should forget about competing with the United States. It can do better than displacing the world's dinosaur. The European example is clearly the one China needs to follow. Living here in Taiwan as I do, I see on a daily basis the miracle that can happen in a place that is small and free. The young people Taiwan is now producing are amazing. I only wish all the other regions of China could gain their independence too and experience the same miracle.

Roullete – A Fun Way to Get Involved in the Gambling Culture
May 3, 2022 highexpectationsokc Gambling
If you're a fan of gambling, then you've probably heard of Roullete. This variation of roulette is a great way to get involved in the gambling culture. It involves decision-making and skill, but the house edge is fairly high. If you're interested in playing this game, be sure to do your research and find a good website that offers roulette games. You can even play online with friends and family.
The multi-player card game Roullete has been played for centuries and may have been influenced by the Italian game Biribi. During the French Revolution, gambling was banned, but Roullete was still widely played throughout Europe and became one of the most popular games in casinos. There are many versions of the game available, and each has its own set of rules. Regardless of where you decide to play, you're sure to have fun with this addictive game.
The game of roulette originated in France, and it's thought to have been derived from the Italian game Biribi. In 1831, French law forbade gambling, but the game spread all over Europe and was eventually made popular by children. Roullete is still a popular game today, and is played in casinos all over the world. Nowadays, it's widely available online, and has many variations. Whether you're playing with friends or family, you'll find a game that suits you.
While roulette is a game of chance, you can make use of certain strategies to improve your chances of winning. For example, even chances bets pay even money (or 1:1) and lose half of your stake when the ball lands on zero. Similarly, other types of bets work the same way. In general, the house edge is about half for even-money bets. You'll have to guess whether the ball will land in the pocket with the number you want to bet on.
Generally, the odds of winning at roulette are the best for those who choose to bet on odd or even numbers. While red and black numbers are the best choices for beginners, even or odd numbers give better odds for winning. While even-money bets are good for beginners, you should avoid placing them on red or black numbers unless you're confident that you know which ones will come up next. In such cases, you should bet on color instead.
The house edge is only 1.35% in French Roulette, which is the game that most people are familiar with. This means that even-money bets are still fairly fair even if the ball lands on zero. So, if you're a beginner, it's best to start off with even-money bets, and then move on to higher-limit bets. This way, you'll gain a better understanding of how the game works.
In France, roulette rules are slightly different than in other countries. While it isn't illegal to play roulette alone in French casinos, the law requires that you're accompanied by two other people. So, if you're a solo player, make sure to take that into consideration before you play this game. You can also consider playing with your partner or even a family member. This way, you can share the risk of losing.

Suivis temporels comparés de la structure thermique d'eaux côtières libanaises (Batroun) et françaises (Marseille) entre juin 1999 et octobre 2002
Title Suivis temporels comparés de la structure thermique d'eaux côtières libanaises (Batroun) et françaises (Marseille) entre juin 1999 et octobre 2002
Authors Saab A-A, Romano, Bensoussan, Fakhri
Journal Comptes Rendus Géoscience
Vertical temperature profiles were recorded from June 1999 to October 2002 (at least once a month) at two Mediterranean sites, in the eastern basin (Batroun, Lebanon; 0-100 m) and in the northwestern basin (Marseilles, France; 0-55 m). At the two sites, the thermal seasonal evolution and the thermocline time dynamics are quite identical. But in the Lebanese waters, at comparable water depths, temperatures are currently 4 to 5 .C higher than in the French waters, the thermocline is longer (more than 6 months), permanent and deeper (40-50 m) than in Marseilles (20-30 m). The latter frequently disappears in summer due to northwest winds inducing cold waters. This is principally due to differences in prevailing wind regimes at each site. Such evaluation, coupled with long-term observations of temporal evolution of coastal water at the regional level of the Mediterranean basins, will shed light on temperature regime fluctuations and their consequences in the context of global warming of the Mediterranean.

Q: How to pass paramters to HTML file in node.js? I have a code like res.sendfile('./home.html',{user:req.user}) and I want to access the user parameter in the HTML file. I don't want to use a template engine. How do I do this?

A: If you don't want to use a template engine, you manually need to read in the file, then push whatever value you want into a placeholder...
var fs = require('fs');
...
  fs.readFile('./home.html', {encoding:'utf8'}, function(err, file){
    if (err) return res.end('ERROR');
    file = file.replace('%USER%', req.user);
    res.end(file);
  });
What you are describing is precisely what templates are for... now, if you want these variables to be available in JS.. then you may want a client "var cfg = %%CLIENT_CONFIG%%;" somewhere at the top, and you can JSON.stringify your config, and do the same replace.
If you want a lightweight templating engine you can use manually, you probably want to use lodash's template method.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate brings together every fighter in the game's history
Danny Zepeda
Nintendo officially took the wraps off its latest iteration of Smash Bros dubbed Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. And there's no denying it has the most smash for your buck as Nintendo put it. It will feature every single character in the game's history, counting over 60 fighters. Everyone from Mario to Samus to Link along with special edition DLC characters like Ryu and Snake.
One of the biggest announcements that came of Nintendo's E3 presentation for Smash Bros. Ultimate was that it is a brand new game and not a port like many had assumed. Each character has been slightly revised from past versions to enhance not just how they look, but also how they play.
Among the major additions is the inclusion of Cappy from Super Mario Odyssey, Ridley from the Metroid series and Link is now wearing his Hylian tunic from Breath of the Wild.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be available on December 7, 2018 for the Nintendo Switch.

Top 5 Secrets Of The Allagash Waterway Abduction
One of the most intriguing alien abduction cases is the Allagash waterway abduction case that happened in August 1976. Four friends from the Massachusetts Art College who went into the Allagash backwaters in Maine for camping were reportedly being abducted by extraterrestrials. Twin brother Jim and Jack Weiler, Charles aka Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz reported this incidence in 1988, 12 years after it happened as they themselves could not understand that they were abducted before they started having nightmares about being examined by strange beings.
The night of that abduction
The friends were out for night fishing in the Eagle Lake trying to lay their hands on some Trout fish when they spotted a bright object lingering in the sky at about a height of 300 feet from the water levels. Charlie Foltz who was a Navy veteran flashed SOS signals towards the object to draw its attention. The curiosity soon changed to panic as they spotted the object moving towards them slowly. The friends tried to dash back to the banks, and that is when they got abducted.
The next memory that the friends have is that they reached the bank safely and the bright object flew high up in the sky to get out of the vision soon. They could realize that a lot of time has passed in between when the friends saw the smoldering ashes of the great bonfire that they had set the night before. The bonfire had a flame that reached about 10 feet and hence, it was not possible that it would get to ashes in such a short time. The secrets of what happened were revealed when the friends underwent regression hypnosis sessions, top 5 of which are enlisted below.
The secrets of the Allagash Waterway Abduction
(1) Before getting abducted the friends had spotted the same spaceship a couple of days ago when they, along with other campers were resting by the waterside in the wilderness of Allagash in Maine. Many thought it to be swamp gas while many thought it to be the planet Mars, as the object had a reddish aura around it.
2) The spaceship that had abducted the four friends was completely circular in shape and was divided into four quadrants, each glowing with different lights. The four lights that were seen in the different quadrants were red, green, yellow and white. The whole thing had a diameter of about 80 feet.
(3) The aliens who had abducted the four friends had four fingers on their hands which were insects like with jointed appendages. They had large metallic eyes which did not have any lids. The abductees found it particularly difficult to focus on the aliens and no matter how hard they tried, they failed to put up an exact image of the aliens, in spite of the fact that all four were artists themselves.
(4) The chamber inside the spaceship looked more or less as a vet's office. The aliens had examined each of the friends individually by making them lie down on a silvery table. The other three were made to sit on a nearby bench, but they completely incapacitated by the aliens by some extraterrestrial powers. They helplessly had to watch their friends getting examined one by one without being able to intervene or protest in between.
(5) A number of physical examinations were being conducted on the abductees. The aliens had also collected skin and fluid samples from the men. While no detailed description could be provided by the men, it can still be made out they were subjected to quite humiliating examinations as the aliens would have wanted to check the anatomical and physiological structure of humans.

Glass Art Deco clock by ATO
ATO, 1930s
A small, moulded glass Art Deco mantel clock by the French company ATO with silver plated hands with 'spoon' ends and black hand-painted numerals. The face marked ATO in moulded text, and the Bakelite case covering the movement also marked in raised text moulded into the Bakelite. Fitted with a modern battery movement, the Bakelite case back reveals the original instructions for battery connection, fixed to the inside of the case. With a triple-stepped black Bakelite plinth. French, circa 1930s.
Height: 10 inches (26 cm).
ATO was a company established in the 1920s by Léon Hatot (1883-1953). Trading under the name ATO from 1923, electric clocks were produced in a partially rebuilt factory in the rue de la Rotonde in Besancon. They were an immediate and unprecedented success, and at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs in 1925, Léon Hatot won a Grand Prix for a range of electric clocks, housed in marble, chrome and fine wood cases, and some in cases of moulded glass from the famous Lalique factory. Léon Hatot company still functions as a watchmaker, trading under the umbrella of the Swatch group.

Eric Garcetti Declares "The Mayor says 'Everyone Go See 'The Normal Heart'" →
Interview with Actor Tim Cummings from 'The Normal Heart' at the Fountain Theatre
Tim Cummings and Bill Brochtrup in rehearsal for 'The Normal Heart' .
by Don Grigware
The Normal Heart hasn't been done in years. Tell me about the play's relevance today, from your perspective.
Tim Cummings
The play mentions gay marriage, which is relevant today: DOMA being struck down, Prop 8 being ruled unconstitutional, more and more states are voting to allow for it. The play also brings up the failures of the health care system, and those are relevant today as well. We've yet to see what Obamacare results in, ultimately, but I have hope. The play discusses homophobia, bigotry, closeted gays, politics, conspiracy theories, etc. Those are all relevant now.
Suicide among LGBT youth has been tragically high, of course there's this putrid Putin/ Russia debacle. The gay-bashing rate in NYC is currently on an alarming rise, which includes the murder of Mark Carson on May 18th, shot directly in the head after his assailant hurled anti-gay slurs at him and his companion. Right in the heart of the West Village. To be honest, I don't think there will ever be a time this play is not relevant. It's only a matter of who is brave enough to produce it, as it is not an easy play to do.
What about your character and how he affects the issues at hand? What are the challenges in playing him?
Tim Cummings and Bill Brochtrup, 'The Normal Heart' at the Fountain Theatre.
Ned Weeks goes from hesitant participant to full-blown activist and loses nearly everything along the way: his family, his friends, his love, his station in life. Ned is a fighter. A warrior. He does not understand why other people cannot fight back the way he does, and ultimately this alienates him from his community. He will do whatever it takes to wake people up and make them pay attention to this epidemic. He wants pride for the gay community, not shame, not hiding. He wants gay men to think with their hearts and minds, not their pecs and cocks.
The challenges in playing him are that his intensity, passion, Jewish intellectualism, rallying, rants about promiscuity, confrontational nature, and bursts of outrage are not things that can be handled delicately. Yet, we are in this intimate space—so it's about striking a balance. Where can we hold back? Where do we need to go forward full throttle?
Talk a little about Lisa Pelikan and your working with her – now in 2 plays.
Tim Cummings and Lisa Pelikan in 'The New Electric Ballroom'
A passionate perfectionist, a questioner, a force, a presence, a joy. With those mesmerizing blue eyes, to boot. Definitely an actor's actor. Oddly enough, she is also making me take off my clothes in this, just like she did in The New Electric Ballroom. Ha.
Your participation in Ballroom was the best. I really enjoyed your performance. Was that harder to do than Heart, or easier since you are Irish and probably have lived through a lot of similar experiences in Ballroom? (Or am I all wet?)
Thanks, Don. That was a fantastic experience. Yes, I am Irish, but I tend to play Jewish men a lot, too, as I am now. I grew up in New York, surrounded by an abundance of Irish, Irish/Italian, and Jewish heritage. It comes naturally, I suppose.
What I loved about Ballroom was the transformational aspect: my character, Patsy, goes from smelly chubby fishmonger to sexy, slick, pop idol—right before the audience's eyes. No special effects, no cutaways, no magic. Just good old fashioned in-your-face theatre. Brilliant playwriting and storytelling.
Was that harder than The Normal Heart? I don't think anything will be harder than The Normal Heart. The role of Ned might be bigger than Hamlet. He barely leaves the action. He never stops talking. He rarely calms down. The level of stage skill—physical prowess, emotional intensity, collaborative endurance—required to play Ned assures he will likely never be conveyed by any actor that is incompetent, lazy, or timid. Larry Kramer was clever to have
written Ned the way he did.
Tim Cummings and Carmela Corbett in "Eurydice" at South Coast Rep (2012).
Speak about your writing career.
I write novels, short stories, plays, screenplays, and poetry.
I released a collection called Orphans in the summer of 2011. It's an idiosyncratic assemblage of short stories, poetry, screenplays, plays, and a film treatment. I wanted to put all the different writing forms together in one weirdly prismatic vessel, and unleash it unrepentantly onto the world. So, I did.
I have a full-length novel called Jake Curve that my agent in NYC is working on. It's a story of a brilliant little boy who loses his identical twin to a mysterious disappearance, and how he contends with the difficulties of his family falling apart. Ultimately it is a story questioning the validity of family, and whether it is okay to leave them behind if you don't fit in there.
My most recent play, Bully, is an exploration of this pandemic of teenagers committing suicide for being bullied for being gay. It's a deeply polemical slaughtering of what masculinity is supposed to mean in today's day and age. It pays homage to William Golding's seminal masterpiece about savagery versus civilization, Lord of the Flies, probably my favorite book.
Writing or acting, if you had to make a choice?
Yikes! Can't I conjoin them and be both? We'll call it wricting! 'Hi, I'm Tim, and I'm a wrictor.'
Who are your favorite actors?
Argh, this is a hard one—
Meryl Streep, Mark Rylance, Kate Winslet, Simon Pegg, Edie Falco, Sean Penn, Viola Davis, Richard Jenkins, Kristin Wiig, Gene Wilder, Jack Lemmon, Gene Hackman, Bryan Cranston, Richard Pryor, Benicio del Toro. I like people with passion. Jack Nicholson, he's another. Gary Oldman. Cate Blanchett.
Also, many of our brilliant LA locals, like Anne Gee Byrd, Jenny O'Hara, John Getz, Hugo Armstrong. Our town is so ridiculously chockablock with talent. And no, not all of it is in the Fame and Fortune industry—it's right there, in your face, on our small stages.
Your favorite playwrights?
Tracy Letts, Maria Irene Fornes, Enda Walsh, Ruth Margraff, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Albee, Chekhov, O'Neill, Shaw.
Any role you haven't played yet that you are yearning to play?
Jonny 'Rooster' Byron (Jerusalem).
Willy Loman (Death of a Salesman).
Eddie Carbone (A View From The Bridge).
George (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf).
Thomas in Enda Walsh's Misterman.
Father Brendan Flynn (Doubt).
Medea, in some awesome, twisted, all-male version.
A one-man version of The Crucible.
I'd also like to do The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh.
As I get older, I get to play increasingly interesting and substantial roles. The best is yet to come, I feel. I don't fear or ward off age in any capacity. Bring it, I say. Look at Judi Dench, for fu**'s sake. Clint Eastwood. Bette White!
Anything else you care to add?
Looking forward to taking part in The Skylight Theatre Company's honoring of Terrence McNally in a four-day event at the end of September called Salute. I was very honored to be asked. And, of course, I'm looking forward to The Normal Heart opening, and audiences experiencing it for its beauty and intensity. I hope it encourages conversations, think-tanks, and outrage.
