Staff at the biggest booze company in Britain are threatening to go on strike in a move which threatens to scupper your plans for a very Merry Christmas.
Drinks giant Diageo boasts a range of brands - from Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker, to Guinness, Captain Morgan and Tanqueray gin.
But staff are threatening industrial action over cuts to workers' pensions ahead of the busiest time of year for many booze suppliers.
Unite and GMB members voted to go on strike as union bosses declare it was a "clear choice between the values of fairness and greed."
Members of the GMB union in Diageo's Scottish operations, including bottling plants at Leven and Shieldhall and distilleries across the country, backed walkouts by 63 per cent and other forms of industrial action by 69.7 per cent.
GMB Scotland organiser Louise Gilmour said: "Our members have sent a strong message to Diageo that the company needs to think again if it wants to avoid damaging strikes across Scotland.
"Diageo is happy to significantly increase executive pay in the wake of billions of pounds of profit but they won't protect the pensions of the workforce who have contributed massively towards the success of the business.
"It's another example of the obscene disparity between executive pay and the ordinary worker and if there is one company that can most certainly afford to sustain decent pension arrangements for its workers then it's Diageo.
"It's a question of fairness and Diageo can clearly go further to protect the pensions of their workers."
Regional officer Pat McIlvogue said: "We are proud of our members, who have sent a clear message to Diageo that they must keep their pension promises.
"No-one takes industrial action lightly - especially with Christmas coming up - but Diageo is behaving like Scrooge."
Unite's Scottish secretary Pat Rafferty said the union would be asking politicians to support workers and to raise the matter in both Westminster and Holyrood.
He said: "Unite members at Diageo are taking a stand - and as a country, we need to stand with them. We will be calling on every MP and MSP for their support.
"It's a clear choice between the values of fairness and greed."
In a statement, a Diageo spokesman said bosses were disappointed by the outcome, which they felt was premature as discussions are still ongoing.
The statement said: "If and when strike action is taken, the company will focus on ensuring that our business continues as usual, as far as possible.
"Strong plans are in place for this while we seek to move back into dialogue on the DPS.
"Management at Diageo remain committed to finding a sustainable solution on pensions that helps to manage the long term needs of employees in a competitive pension with the growing risk and cost to the company of the DPS scheme.
"As such the company will seek to move back into discussions with unions and ACAS."

I am so excited to bring the wisdom of the Enneagram to those who are looking to transform their inner world and gain understanding and grace for themselves and others, especially their teen/adult children.
My background as a teacher for students with significant behavioral and emotional challenges, coupled with my role as a teen job coach, has ingrained in me a deep-seated passion for fostering positive change in thought patterns, behaviors, and life trajectories. Now, I am honored to reveal how the Enneagram can guide us towards Christ—the answer to our most profound yearnings and pain—while accelerating our growth, understanding, and compassion within our relationships.
Besides being a former teacher, I wear many hats – mom, wife, coach, realtor, Bible study leader, and a voracious reader (yes, audiobooks totally count)! After focusing on my family for years, God reignited my passion for helping and encouraging others. Devouring books and podcasts on psychology, trauma, behavior change, and life coaching brought me to Enneagram coaching and the transformative YEC certification program! I admit, starting this journey was scary, but as I delved into the certification program, I had a major revelation. I realized I’d been living like an unhealthy type 9,–not being awake to my passions. While my first passion will always be nurturing my kids, but there is more that I could be pursuing besides being a taxi driver for them! 🙂 At our best, 9s are passionate go-getters. I realized God gave me unique skills and passions to help others that I had not been taking advantage of. Now, embracing my growth path as a 3, I’m all about confidence, sharing knowledge, and chasing my dreams.
Having spent years working closely with teens and young adults, I’ve honed in on what it takes to nurture strong bonds between moms and their older kids. It’s all about gaining clarity about ourselves, which ultimately helps us mirror Christ’s love and empathy towards others. I truly feel blessed that the Lord led me down this path, and I’m eager to help you on your journey of growth, too! Let’s dive into your story together, embarking on a journey of self-discovery that’ll not only transform your relationships but also draw you closer to Jesus.
I specialize in offering tailored coaching sessions for moms individually, comprehensive family coaching, and group coaching for parents and youths within various community settings, including churches and educational institutions. Let’s begin this journey side by side, unraveling the threads of your unique story to weave a tapestry of personal and relational fulfillment.

I entered into the journey to find my enneagram number with hesitancy and fear of the unknown, but also curiosity and willingness to listen. Amanda welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable as she introduced the wealth of enneagram concepts. She was kind and professional and her understanding put me at ease. Her insights into the enneagram world were impressive and made a positive impact on me. Several times I was drawn to tears in moments of revelation and new self awareness. She helped remind me that through all of our strengths and weaknesses, we are deeply and fully loved beyond measure. Being more aware of our individual tendencies can serve as such a good tool in order to learn how to embrace our entire selves, warts and all, by showing us where we can change and how we can better navigate with patience personal traits that are intertwined with our very personalities.
I appreciate Amanda’s knowledge and experience working with the enneagram learning tools. I’m grateful to have been a part of her consultation. Her insight into my life was so very helpful and I left feeling encouraged and enlightened.
My time with Amanda was very enlightening. Her space is very warm and welcoming. She went into detail with me and asked the best questions in order for me to dig deep. She is an amazing listener and gives honest feedback as we work through any situation I have. Julie
Amanda’s approach made me unashamed of the way I think, relate and show up in the world. I gained more clarity and understanding of how God made me. She was a great listener, very engaged in the whole process, and gave great feedback and insight. An “aha” moment was learning that a healthy 6 is not one who is worry free but one who goes to the Lord often, repenting when seeing how they are not trusting Him, casting all of their cares on him, remembering Him and His promises, and then uses the gifts that a 6 brings to the world. The enneagram has been helpful in realizing that everyone doesn’t come at the world/operate from the same perspective as I do, so I am able to have more understanding of the people in my life. There is just more peace in my relationships as I understand how they are wired and I can give grace and really appreciate them more fully. Deb
Amanda’s friendly and understanding demeanor made her such a joy to work with! Amanda went above and beyond to thoroughly review and explain my results and guided the process of narrowing down my specific type. Her knowledge of the complex intricacies of the Enneagram helped me to begin to understand how to adjust and maximize behaviors inherent to my type for future success.

Courtesy of my buddy, Slick:
1) Only in America, could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund-raising event.
2) Only in America, could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black while only 12% of the population is black.
3) Only in America, could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America, can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
5) Only in America, would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just ‘magically’ become American citizens.
6) Only in America, could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”
7) Only in America, could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8) Only in America, could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).
9) Only in America, could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year – for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.
10) Only in America, could the rich people – who pay 86% of all income taxes – be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.

Book Summary From Harper Collins: When twins Sheridan and Taylor wake up 400 years in the future, they find a changed world: domed cities, no animals, and a language that’s so different, it barely sounds like English. And the worst news: They can’t go back home.
Happy Book Birthday to Erasing Time by one of our favorite authors C.J. Hill
The twenty-fifth-century government transported the girls to their city hoping to find a famous scientist to help perfect a devastating new weapon. The same government has implanted tracking devices in the citizens, limiting and examining everything they do. Taylor and Sheridan have to find a way out of the city before the government discovers their secrets. To complicate matters, the moblike Dakine has interest in getting hold of them too. The only way for the girls to elude their pursuers is to put their trust in Echo, a guy with secrets of his own. The trio must put their faith in the unknown to make a harrowing escape into the wilds beyond the city.
Full of adrenaline-injected chases and heartbreaking confessions, Erasing Time explores the strength of the bonds between twins, the risks and rewards of trust, and the hard road to finding the courage to fight for what you believe in.
About the Author: C. J. Hill is the mother of twins. They aren’t identical, but this doesn’t mean she always calls them by the right name. In fact, she occasionally calls all her children by the wrong names (she has five) and has even been known to throw the dog’s name into the mix. Laugh now, but you’ll do the same thing when you have kids.
If C. J. had a time machine and could visit another century, she would probably go to the Regency era instead of the future. According to all the novels she’s read, the past was filled with a multitude of dashing lords and viscounts who were always on the lookout for damsels in distress, whereas the future is populated by scary dystopian societies. Find out more on her site and be sure to comment there for a chance to win your own copy!

Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
Barely a day goes by that we are not asked about Sun protection factor at the clinic. This is a notoriously complex and confusing subject. The environment in which we live in is changing rapidly. Scientific research is constantly evolving and there is a constant stream of new developments and knowledge. Add to that the fact that consumers are inundated with often conflicting information and marketing strategies, it is no wonder there is still confusion on this immensely important subject.
Don’t let uncertainty deter you from making the right choice. It is essential that you are using the right SPF to protect from skin cancer, premature and/or advanced photo aging, pigmentation, sunspots and of course burning (yikes). This article is aimed at pointing you in the right direction and dispelling some widely misguided myths.
Remember “prevention is better than cure”.
Meet the ‘Rays’
UVA This is the Aging ray and is present all year even when there is no sun! It causes skin damage and aging and can also cause burning.
UVB This is the Burning ray. These rays cause sunburn and play a major role in causing skin cancer.
HEV This is the Energy ray. HEV stands for High Energy Visible, otherwise known as ‘blue light’. We are surounded by blue light all the time, even the sun emits it, but the more contentious rays are coming from our smartphones, computers, Tv screens and street lights, zapping our energy and our skin ! Research has shown that this light can penetrate further into the skin than UVA and UVB (ultraviolet) combined.
The SPF number indicates how long the sun UV radiation would take to redden your skin when using the product versus the amount of time without any sunscreen. So with an SFF of 30 for example it would take you 30 times longer to burn that if you were not wearing any sunscreen.
An SPF 30 allows about 3 percent of UVB rays to hit your skin. An SPF of 50 allows about 2 percent of those rays through. That’s a noticeably small difference however SPF 30 is allowing 50 percent more UV radiation onto your skin.
It is not always the case that SPF means you “have it covered”. A high factor can sometimes create a false sense of security. People who use them tend to stay out in the sun much longer. They don’t wear a hat or seek shade. They don’t reapply and this defeats the entire purpose.
The Skin cancer foundation recommends a water resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher for extended outdoor activity.
Wearing makeup with broad spectrum UVA and UVB with SPF 30 is a great way of getting some extra protection. Pure mineral makeup should also be considered as it contains highly revered natural ingredients Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide which reflect the sun.
Know your type
Physical sunscreens reflect the sun.
Chemical sunscreens absorb the suns rays.
We stock a wide range of skin cancer approved sunscreens and makeup to suit every skin type lifestyle and preference.
Things you should never do
Don’t assume ‘water resistant’ means ‘water proof’. You must reapply.
Don’t rely on once a day. There’s no universal standard that manufactures have to adhere to when making a ‘once a day claim’. They are now moving away from this misleading term and favouring the term ‘durable’ sunscreen.
Don’t buy one that is greasy sticky or too liquid. If it’s not nice to use you won’t use it.
Don’t apply too little. A full- body application on a typical adult should be about 35ml, so approximately seven teaspoons. For the face and neck you will need about one teaspoon. More if you need to apply to your head.
Don’t use SPF as an excuse to stay in the sun for longer. There is no such thing as a ‘health tan’. Any tan is a sign that your skin has been damaged. You should wear a sunscreen alongside sunglasses, a hat, clothing and breaks in the shade.
Enjoy the sun knowing you are protected, if in doubt reapply. We welcome any questions you may have and hope you have a safe summer.

Posted on November 4, 2009 by Debra Burdick
I am always amazed at how two people can look at the same thing and see completely different things. Maybe it goes back to the glass half empty, glass half full concept. Or maybe it’s has to do with how we choose to see things.
Wayne Dyer frequently discusses the statement ‘If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change’. He states that in order to change things we need to change the way we look at things.
Albert Einstein discussed the need to decide if we want to live in a friendly universe or a hostile universe. If you choose to see the world as hostile, everything will seem hostile to you. If you choose to see the world as a friendly place, you will experience things this way. The same is true for seeing things negatively versus positively. It’s almost as if you are wearing glasses that filter out certain things and only allow what you expect to see to come through the lens.
If you are a parent and your child is misbehaving, you always have a choice on how to respond. One parent may get furious and yell at their child. This parent chooses to see the child as an annoyance or an embarrassment and maybe as a bad person. Another parent may take the child by the hand and remove them from the situation. This parent chooses to see that the child is still learning how to behave appropriately and needs their gentle but firm guidance. Another parent may address the behavior by joking with the child to get them to shift their behavior. This parent chooses to see the child as having a tough moment and needing to distract them. The child’s behavior is the same. How the parent chooses to see the behavior is different. And this choice dictates how the parent will respond to the child. And this response will affect how the child learns about the world.
I recently talked with the mother of an 18 year old daughter who suffered severe injuries including a traumatic brain injury in a car accident in May. This teen was in intensive care for weeks and the doctor told the parents they had done everything they could do and asked for their consent to talk with the organ donor representatives. The mother understood that the doctor was telling her that chances were slim that her daughter would survive.
Some parents in this situation might choose to feel devastated, scared, worried, and angry. They might cry inconsolably as they fear the worst for their daughter. And we would all agree that this response would be appropriate. They might call all the family in to say their goodbyes to the child. They might think about the injustice of an 18 year old losing their life because another driver hit the car she was riding in. They might blame this driver.
But this particular mother chose to respond in a much different way. She decided to put a positive spin on things. She re-interpreted the doctor’s comment to mean they were doing everything they could for her daughter (as opposed to ‘there was nothing more they could do’). She chose not to feel frustration. She decided they just needed to find a new way to look at it. She told me ‘positive thinking is huge’. She stated we can choose the ‘sorrow or negative’ lane or turn things around when we choose the positive lane. She deliberately chose not to focus on getting angry at the driver. She said ‘You need to figure out how to make life work for you.’
Was she devastated, scared, and worried? Absolutely. But because she chose to respond differently, she and the whole family took action that undoubtedly changed the outcome for her daughter. The family started playing music in the ICU. They gave her daughter reflexology sessions. They talked to her. They had 24/7 contact with her and someone stayed in the hospital every night with her. They maintained a positive expectation that she would get better. And then they did everything possible to help their daughter heal.
Four months later, after weeks in the ICU, weeks in a rehabilitation hospital, and more in an assisted living facility her daughter came home. She is able to walk on her own now without the walker, the doctors discontinued all medications last week, and her disposition is sweet and grateful. When I spoke with the mother, her daughter was helping her sister paint the bedroom.
Does she have a long way to go? Sure. She still has concentration, planning, and short term memory issues and her self confidence has taken a hit. And she is still healing. But when they saw the doctor last week he said she is way ahead of where he would expect her to be based on her injuries. Did her healing journey change because of how her mother chose to see things? What do you think? How she chose to see the situation prompted her to take action considerably different than if she had simply accepted the doctor’s statement and expected her daughter to die.
I read a story about a woman who saw a man with 3 kids in a McDonalds restaurant. The man was just sitting listless at the table while his kids ran around, noisy and out of control. He clearly didn’t have the energy to tell them to stop. The woman made a comment to the man about his out of control kids and told him he should watch them better. The man looked up at the woman and said ‘I’m sorry, we just came from their mother’s funeral and I guess we are all a little out of sorts’. This woman went from disapproving and scolding to embarrassed and sad as the situation became clearer to her. This is a clear example of how changing how we look at something makes what we look at change. This situation didn’t change but how she looked at it and the meaning she attached to what she saw sure did.
When my business coach advised me to get off the insurance panels I was scared that if I did, I wouldn’t have any clients. In fact I was certain. It took me several years to change the way I looked at this. A year and a half ago, I resigned from most of the major insurance panels. My case load did take a dip for awhile but last winter I had a waiting list – too many clients for me to see. And now I get paid much more than what I used to get for each session. And many clients still get to use their insurance because they have out of network benefits. When I changed how I looked at the situation, the situation changed.
Have you ever had a conversation with someone about the weather? I often talk with people on a bright, beautiful sunny day who complain about the weather. It is either too hot, too cold, not enough rain, too much rain – it goes on and on. It’s still a beautiful sunny day to me. Even if it’s raining I chose to see how pretty everything is decorated with lacy raindrops. And I love to listen to the chorus as the raindrops fall on my roof and the symphony as the rain runs down the downspouts. I think of how happy the plants are to be getting a drink. If it’s been raining for days, I think how fortunate I am to be here to see it.
I’m sure you can find many examples of how this has worked in your own life. It’s enlightening when we see how much things change when we change how we look at them. And how our lives are changed forever by choosing to do so. We always have a choice about how we see things. Sometimes we really need to think about how we are looking at something and find other ways to look at it, especially when we are stuck. As Albert Einstein said, you cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it. Practice changing how you look at something, and that something will change.
I would love to hear your personal experiences with this topic.

Article appeared in the Guardian’s Comment is Free site on March 31, 2008.
Humans love to suppress abstract dangers. They react only after they get their fingers burned. In handling nuclear risks, however, we can hardly get away with such childlike behaviour.
To begin with, the old system of nuclear deterrence, which has survived particularly in the US and Russia since the cold war’s end, still involves lots of risks and dangers. While the international public largely ignores this fact, the risks remain.
To be sure, in the 1990’s the US and Russia reduced their nuclear arsenals from 65,000 to approximately 26,000 weapons. But this number is still almost unimaginable and beyond any rational level needed for deterrence. Moreover, there are another 1,000 nuclear weapons in the hands of other nuclear states.
A second cause for worry is that the world is poised to enter a new nuclear age that threatens to be even more dangerous and expensive than the cold war era of mutually assured destruction. Indeed, the outlines of this new nuclear age are already visible: the connection between terrorism and nuclear weapons; a nuclear-armed North Korea; the risk of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East triggered by Iran’s nuclear program; a new definition of state sovereignty as “nuclear sovereignty”, accompanied by a massive increase in the number of small and medium-sized nuclear states; possible collapse of public order in nuclear Pakistan; the illegal proliferation of military nuclear technology; the legal proliferation of civilian nuclear technology and an increase in the number of “civilian” nuclear states; the nuclearisation of space, triggering an arms race among large nuclear powers.
Important political leaders, especially in the two biggest nuclear powers, the US and Russia, know today’s existing risks and tomorrow’s emerging ones all too well. Yet nothing is being done to control, contain, or eliminate them. On the contrary, the situation is worsening.
Vital pillars of the old arms-control and anti-proliferation regime have either been destroyed – as was the case with the anti-ballistic missile (ABM) treaty – or substantially weakened, as with the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT). Responsibility for this lies largely with the Bush administration, which, by terminating the ABM treaty, not only weakened the international control systems for nuclear weapons, but also sat on its hands when confronted with the NPT’s imminent collapse.
At the beginning of the 21st century, proliferation of military nuclear technology is one of the major threats to humanity, particularly if this technology falls into terrorists’ hands. The use of nuclear weapons by terrorists would not only result in a major humanitarian tragedy, but also would most likely move the world beyond the threshold for actually waging a nuclear war. The consequences would be horrific.
Nearly equally worrisome is the nuclear redefinition of state sovereignty because it will not only lead to a large number of small, politically unstable nuclear powers, but will also increase the risk of proliferation at the hands of terrorists. Pakistan would, most likely, no longer be an isolated case.
An international initiative for the renewal and improvement of the international control regime, led by both big nuclear powers, is urgently needed to meet these and all other risks of the new nuclear age. For, if disarmament is to become effective, the signal must come from the top – the US and Russia. Here the commitment to disarmament, as agreed in the NPT, is of prime importance.
The NPT – a bedrock of peace for more than three decades – is based on a political agreement between nuclear and non-nuclear states: the latter abstain from obtaining nuclear weapons while the former destroy their arsenals. Unfortunately, only the first part of this agreement was realised (though not completely), while the second part still awaits fulfilment.
The NPT remains indispensable and needs urgent revision. However, this central pillar of international proliferation control is on the brink of collapse. The most recent review conference in New York, in May 2005, ended virtually without any result.
The essential defect of the NPT is now visible in the nuclear dispute between Iran and the United Nations Security Council: the treaty permits the development of all nuclear components indispensable for military use – particularly uranium enrichment – so long as there is no outright nuclear weapons program. This means that in emerging nuclear countries only one single political decision is required to “weaponise” a nuclear program. This kind of “security” is not sufficient.
Another controversial issue also has also come to the fore in connection with the current nuclear conflict with Iran: discrimination-free access to nuclear technology. Solving this problem will require the internationalisation of access to civilian nuclear technology, along with filling the security gap under the existing NPT and substantially more far-reaching monitoring of all states that want to be part of such a system.
Leaders around the world know the dangers of a new nuclear age; they also know how to minimise them. But the political will to act decisively is not there, because the public does not regard nuclear disarmament and arms control as a political priority.
This must change. Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation are not questions of the past. They need to be addressed today if they are not to become the most dangerous threats tomorrow.

Last week we decided to go into the antique mall located right across from our favorite thrift store. It was such a delightful place, we wish that we had gone in sooner! Instead of being accosted by the scent of 100 different perfumes, we were instead greeted with the gentle mustiness that says, "Grandmother's House."
We brought Mr. Graham along so we could point out things we like (our birthday IS coming up, after all, along with Valentine's Day!).
There were so many sweet old things that have borne the passage of time~
Things once used and loved, and then passed along~
Even the little boy in the funny hat was intrigued by the wide array of items!
We literally could have stayed all day, savoring the spirit of Days Gone by,
and imagining how big of a home we would have to have to put all of the things we like. . .
. . . Like this cabinet, whose drawers would be perfect for a nature collection,
. . .And this library card catalog, which would be fun to use to organize our books,
. . .And this sweet nine-patch quilt,
. . .And this desk that was made in the 1770s (Wouldn't it be fun to have a Colonial Corner, complete with a painting of the singing of the Declaration of Independence?),
. . . But some members of the party were not as enthusiastic at the prospect as the lady in the big blue coat!
So we picked out the sweetest post card we could find (along with a copy of "The Harvesters" by Gene Stratton Porter, and a biography of Queen Victoria), and promised the clerks running the mall that we would be back soon.

Tim Minchin, the comedian who wrote the score for the West End hit, Matilda, has revealed that his next project will be a musical version of the classic Bill Murray film, Groundhog Day.
“Our wee secret has leaked,” Minchin said, as he confirmed recent rumours on his blog. “I’m working on a stage musical adaptation of the iconic and brilliant Danny Rubin script, Groundhog Day.” He added that Rubin himself will be writing the script for the production, which will be directed by Matthew Warchus, the director of Matilda.
In the 1993 film, Bill Murray stars as a grumpy Pittsburgh weatherman who, while covering his most hated assignment - the annual Groundhog Day event - finds himself locked in a time loop.

All About Labradoodles
Labradoodles have quickly become one of the most popular dog breeds out there, and it’s not difficult to figure out why. The Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia originally developed the breed as a hypoallergenic option for guide dogs by crossing Poodles with Labrador Retrievers. Their low-shedding coat makes them the ideal option for dog lovers with an allergy to animal hairs, and dogs of this breed are often smart and sociable with a nature appropriate for guide dogs.
These affectionate Labradoodles are not yet consistent in their temperament or coat, but are still wildly popular. If you want to bring one into your own home, it’s best to try and adopt, as some of these mixed breed dogs do end up in rescues and pounds.
Read on to learn all you need to know about Labradoodles!
Exercising with Your Dog
Clinical obesity is a growing problem, according to a study by the WHO in 2018, which found that the condition affects 28.1% of adults in the UK. 58.3% of pet cats our obese or overweight, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, and so are 52.5% of pet dogs. The situation isn’t really any better with our pets.
But it is worth noting that energetic family dogs like beagles and labradors are a great companion for those looking to drop a few pounds, as they need a significant amount of exercise. There are loads of different ways you can exercise with your dog. If you want to know exactly what you’ll need to do when you bring your new dog home and avoid causing them health problems, such as obesity, it’s well worth putting in the work and research in advance.
Labradoodles have a very high energy level, so they’ll need exercise very regularly.
Go for a Walk
Your dog needs to be walked, so it’s your job to make sure you have the time to stay on top of that. Completing a good hike with your Labradoodle is a great goal to keep in mind for your exercise plan, but you can start with a walk and build up from there if you’re not used to strenuous exercise. You need to make sure you have time for that daily walk, so getting up a little earlier in the mornings may be necessary.
Cold Weather Tolerance
Before you add any dog to your family, of course, a great amount of consideration should take place. Some dogs are vulnerable to the cold if they have very short coats and little or no undercoat or body fat, such as Greyhounds. Chilly walks necessitate sweaters and coats for these dogs, and they will need to live inside in cool climates.
If you live somewhere that experiences very cold spells, it’s kinder and simpler to adopt a dog like a Labradoodle, whose thick hair makes them less vulnerable to the cold than other breeds.
Affectionate with Family
Labradoodles love to shower the whole family with affection and are likely to bond closely with their main human, unlike some other breeds which will remain independent and aloof even if they’ve been raised by the same person since puppyhood. They’re very playful, and tend to make great family dogs because they’re great with kids. Of course, your Labradoodle will also bond more easily if they were raised inside a home around people, as this will allow them to feel more comfortable with humans. Breed isn’t the only factor that goes into affection levels.
Remember: When you bring a dog home for the first time, they’re likely to find everything pretty overwhelming at first.
Friendly to Other Dogs
Just because a dog is friendly toward humans, it doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily be friendly to other dogs too. Fortunately, Labradoodles are friendly towards both dogs and humans. Some dogs will turn tail and run if they aren’t comfortable with other dogs, while others may try to dominate or fight the other dog. Labradoodles would rather play than fight.
Once again, good canine social skills comes down to more than just breed, which is why it’s best for dogs to live with their mother and littermates until they are at least six to eight weeks old, and to spend lots of time playing with other dogs during puppyhood. It takes time and effort to make sure an individual of any species has good social skills. But, given the opportunity to socialise, Labradoodles are more predisposed to canine friendliness than some other breeds.
Friendly Toward Strangers
While some breeds will be aggressive, nervous or indifferent around people they don’t know, Labradoodles and other stranger-friendly dogs will greet guests with a wagging tail and a nuzzle. As an adult, dogs of any breed will respond better to strangers if they were exposed to lots of different types, ages, sizes and shapes of people as a puppy. Labradoodles are just a little ahead of the curve in this respect.
Full of Beans
Labradoodles are always ready and waiting for action, as they have very high energy levels. They have the stamina to put in a full workday, as their Labrador ancestors were originally bred to perform canine jobs like herding livestock and retrieving game for hunters. Labradoodles love to spend time investigating any new smells and signs, jumping and playing – they need lots of exercise and mental stimulation.
If you want a dog content to doze the day away, you need to look for a low-energy dog – the canine equivalent of a couch potato. Think about whether you’ll find an energetic, cheeky dog annoying or exciting when you pick your breed, and always take into account your own lifestyle and levels of activity.
A slow evening stroll around the block probably won’t be enough for a Labradoodle. The Labradoodle’s ancestors were bred for physically demanding jobs like hunting and herding, so they need daily, vigorous exercise. Digging, yapping and chewing are some common ways that a high-energy dog might vent their pent up energy if they aren’t getting enough exercise, and they may put on some weight.
If you’re interested in training your dog for a high-energy sport, or are generally an active, energetic person, a Labradoodle might be the right choice for you.

Information Gathering…by Liimu
To some, it may look like I’m not doing anything. And in a certain sense, they’d be right. I’m not enduring punishing workouts in the gym. I’m not counting every calorie that goes in my mouth. I’m not weighing and measuring my food. I’m not eliminating sugar, carbs or fat from my diet.
I’m focused on intuitive eating and so most of what’s happening is in my own mind. I’m focusing on eating what my body wants, when it wants it, honoring its cues of when I’m hungry and perhaps even more challenging, when it is full. (Still working on that one, if I’m being honest.) I’m finding new ways to exercise, including dancing with my kids, like last night, long walks in the park, Zumba, kickboxing and spinning. I still love running, so I signed up for Broad Street – I consider myself one of the lucky ones as it sold out in a record-breaking five hours this year – but I’m totally open to walk/running it rather than feeling like I’m a failure if I don’t run or jog every step.
What’s perhaps even more important about this phase of my journey is that I’m gathering tons of information and processing it all, applying it when it feels pertinent. I went back to my holistic doctor, Dr. Michael Cheiken, and he ordered labwork to test for every imaginable vitamin deficiency or metabolic disorder. Twenty-three vials of blood in all. I’ve been finding incredibly interesting articles and eBooks on the internet, and I’ve talked to tons of people who have made this journey and been successful at achieving and maintaining their ideal weight through intuitive eating. Here are some of the things that seem to be important recurring themes, across all my conversations and reading:
1. Stress is a huge obstacle in weight loss and being generally healthy, so I mostly need to just CHILL OUT and trust the process
2. Statistically, it is a proven fact that dieting has a 98% failure rate and if it were a medical practice, it would be banned. It continues to thrive essentially due to the 68 billion dollar industry that profits as a result of its continuation.
3. There are real obstacles at play, related to my age and having just recently had a baby, but most of them are in my own head.
4. I will likely be successful in my efforts but it could take awhile for me to achieve my ideal weight and even longer for my head to really be healed from all the years of yo-yo dieting.
I have to say that learning all these things, hearing them from people I respect and admire (and people who aren’t afraid to tell me things I might not want to hear) had a surprising effect on me. In my heart, I felt relieved and happy, much the way I felt when I was told I would need to abstain from a drink one day at a time for the rest of my life. It’s not an easy path, but it feels a whole lot easier than the one I was on.
I will continue to share with you guys my progress. I am loving this life I’ve been blessed with and am so excited for the newest leg of the journey.

Directed by Joe Ma Wai-ho, Our Ten Years 我们的十年 is the latest youth film, this time starring Zhao Liying, Kimi Qiao Renliang, and Gui Gui.
I still think it’s weird we’re getting all these older, non-mainland directors trying to make films about mainland students in the 1980’s when the selling point of those films is memories, which those directors clearly do not share with the audience. On the other hand, Zhao Liying looks great with a bob!
Awww ZLY looks quite cute with the short hair. The character photos are very nostalgia-y, maybe because they look like polaroids? Currently watching “Back in Time” so I’m all for more of these youth-themed dramas and films!
It’s just a wig, no? She had long hair for that Golden Eagle award show thing (which happened in the midst of shooting for this film, I think) — plus the pictures from the set of her new drama have her with long hair too.
Also, is the guy in the last picture related to Feng Shao Feng? Same last name and he looks so much like him!
I believe her hair is actually somewhere in between? Definitely not as long as Golden Eagle, but longer than this.
I don’t think they’re related.
I love her hair, She cut it!! Very brave and professional too. I am seriously looking forward to this drama. It has been very dry on the CDrama front for me. Any good recommendations?

On your website we see that you have some material on Stinas and Castoriadis. Under "Articles by or about Stinas" you mention the Trotskyists of Revolutionary History but not the ICC. In fact, in 1993 in International Review 72 we published some extracts from Stinas' Memoires together with an introduction that showed the evolution of Stinas and the ICU that lead to the final break with Trotskyism in 1947.
In the material on Castoriadis you refer to "a very favourable obituary". A more critical notice appeared in World Revolution 213 (April 1998) under the title "Bourgeoisie pays homage to one of its servants".
Under the heading "Revolutionary Opposition to World War Two" you mention the books on The Italian Communist Left 1926-46 and The Dutch and German Communist Left. These were originally published in French by the ICC when the author was one of our militants. They were conceived, prepared, discussed and published as the collective work of the ICC with the complete agreement of the author. He has not been in the ICC since 1990 and any subsequent editions and 'correction' of the books have been linked to his political evolution.

Data collection tools
For data collection (currently under weigh) a multi-lingual (Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Finnish, French, Hungarian) questionnaire was designed that integrates structured tools and that is projective in nature (textual and graphic).
- associative networks (de Rosa, 1995), a tool that assigns to the subjects that express the representation, the task of identifying ramifications and links between the words that they themselves write around a stimulus word that appears at the center of the page. Additional information requested: the elicitation order for the words, which is indicative of their salience and the valence attributed to them in terms of positive/negative/neutral. Such a tool was proposed for three stimulus words: Nation, Europe, World.
- European Sky Compass, a projective relational tool that, aside from indicating the cardinal points as anchors, does not offer any circumscription of geographic limits, leaves complete liberty to the subjects to represent the relations between themselves, their own country, their own favorite foreign country, Italy and Europe as the subjects effectively imagine them in terms of inclusion, exclusion and proximity. (In the case of the North African sample, France.)
- Silent Map of Europe, requesting the subjects to draw North-South and East-West axes on a map of Europe in order to express, in their perception, what is Europe’s center of gravity and which countries are included in the four quadrants that they drew with the cardinal axes.
- Questionnaire, with questions geared towards revealing the most representative countries for the four areas and and their evaluation on an attitude in order to reveal the map of preferred and non-preferred countries.

The African Diaspora (the nations in the Western Hemisphere and Western Africa in which the slaves arrived or departed) are great places to visit to better understand the modern world. The regions in the Diaspora possess a diversity that provides an invaluable cultural education. Food, religion, and sports all exude African, European, and Native American traditions that exemplify the best of all cultures. But best of all, the people in these areas really know how to enjoy life! Given the need for respite from the harshness of slavery, perhaps it is no coincidence that the areas where the trade was predominant are also the areas where today people really know how to party, eat well, and appreciate cultural diversity.
Some most-see parts of the Diaspora include:
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Salvador, Bahia (Brazil)
New Orleans, Louisiana
Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Panama City, Panama
and, up and coming, Cartagena, Colombia. That’s right. With the continuing economic recession, people have been asking me where they can travel within the Diaspora and enjoy the type of cultural smorgasborg one experiences in Rio de Janeiro. With the upcoming World Cup and Olympic Games, prices on flights to Rio have skyrocketed. Likewise, apartment and hotel rates are at the lowest around $100US/night. But Cartagena, a diamond in the rough, is still awaiting its turn on the world stage. And, this turn will come! I highly suggest people visit now before Colombia becomes more visible on the travel radar screen. To me Cartagena is in terms of costs where Rio de Janiero was around 2000-2004 ($500-$700 US flights from California, apartments for $40/night, and lots of food, wine, women, and song!). But once places become tourist hot spots, the airlines raise their rates drastically and renters do the same.
Cartagena is a playground on Colombia’s coast, with a population of about 800,000. Smaller than Rio (but what isn’t???) but still a large city, Cartagena has more than enough attractions to keep travelers busy. In fact, Cartagena is so much fun that yesterday some U.S. Secret Service Agents working on President Obama’s detail in Cartagena for the Summit of the America’s got sent home after getting involved with Colombian prostitutes!

Perhaps the most anticipated smartphone in the last decade has finally reached the hands and pockets of the Apple fanbase. The Apple iPhone X claims to revolutionize the look and functionality of Apple smartphones in the coming years(which seems to be the case) but what do you really need to know? And should you go and buy it? Well, the latter is very much a question at the end of this in-depth review, but as of now, we are going to look at this new phone’s key features.
Apple iPhone X Review
There are two elements of the X that make it noteworthy. Apart from the hefty price, it’s the screen and the manner in which you unlock it. For the screen, we are looking at a sharp 5.8” Super Retina HD display that boasts a resolution of 2436 by 1125 pixels and incorporated AMOLED technology, which is the first iPhone to do this. The punchy and bright screen fills most of the phone’s front, with thin bezels on the side. The only exception is the notch found at the top of the display, which houses the new controversial element of the Apple iPhone X- Face ID camera.
The new iPhone comes in two colors: black with a shiny but dark grey trim and white with a silver chrome trim. As for me, neither of these colors look stunning for the price point as we have seen better with the Oneplus 5T lava red and the Mocha Brown in the Mate 10 Pro. However, we might see a variety of new colors as time goes by. The X is as expected made of glass both front and back and this makes it a fingerprint magnet. However, this can be easily resolved with a cover.
There’s really no surprise with the device’s physical elements positioning, apart from the power button which has been relocated to the right side and the lack of a home button. Everything else from its predecessors remains in place with IP67 water and dust resistance. The new iPhone still ditches the headphone jack, something that I don’t like but will have to get used to.
Also, the camera module on the back is something that might annoy some. It is not only unsightly, but it’s big enough to completely unbalance the device when placed on a table. This causes it to rattle whenever you tap or swipe. The notch on the top of the display is somewhat a mixed bag, but it seems to be something you’ll get used to.
The positives with the display are similar to every other 2:1 aspect ratio, low-bezel phone out there. It has a high screen to body ratio which translates to a bigger display to work with on a phone that is comfortable to the hand. So, while it may have a bigger 5.8-inch screen, it is substantially smaller and lighter than the 5.5 inch the company has been using for the past few years. Also, the rounded corners of the X make it comfortable to hold and put into a tight pocket.
Performance and Display
As expected, the performance in the current gen iPhone is excellent. Similar to the iPhone 8 and 8 plus, it comes with a new A11 Bionic Chip, coupled with 3GB of RAM. Its performance is quite commendable and similar to the iPhone 8 plus. According to numerous tests and reports, it is one of the fastest phones on the market. It’s really smooth when it comes to running both general and graphically intensive applications.
As for the display, which is Apple’s first OLED, is remarkable. As earlier mentioned, it has a resolution of 2046×1125, delivering a pixel density of 458ppi and it is the best display the company has ever manufactured.
The biggest consequence of settling for an almost bezel-less screen is that there is no longer room for the home button and surprisingly a fingerprint. Instead, the company has decided to take a bold and controversial move by introducing Face ID- a new biometric form of unlocking your iPhone just by looking at it.
Well, Face ID works by using the devices ‘true depth’ camera to project 30,000 infrared dots to the face. It then produces a 3D model of your face and stores it alongside a 2D infrared image. It ideally used the same sensor to match it against the stored version to unlock your device within seconds. Apple claims it is more secure than touch ID and has even gone ahead to implement it for Apple Pay authentication.
As you would expect, the iPhone X camera is excellent and for all the same good reasons for the 8 and 8 plus. It is by no means the best smartphone camera in the market, but it does an excellent job of capturing candid pictures and clear, steady 4K videos at 60 frames per second.
Similar to the iPhone 8 plus, the X has two 12 megapixel shooters in the back, both using Sony sensors. The first is a wide angle camera and the second a telephoto shooter. We have seen this implementation in various phones this year, but when compared to the iPhone 8 plus, the telephoto shooter has a slightly brighter aperture(f/2.4) and features optical stabilization just like the primary shooter.
In conclusion, the iPhone X revolutionizes the brand in terms of design, finally drawing level with companies like Samsung in terms of aesthetics, giving consumers a genuinely innovative and effective ways to unlock and use the device.
It is quite quick and has a remarkably color accurate screen, Apple’s best since the invention of iPhones and the camera is in fact, sublime. However, the price, unfortunately, takes all the headlines. With the prices starting at a jaw-dropping $1000 for the 64Gb variant and a truly ridiculous price of $1200 for the 256GB version, the phone is just too expensive.
So, should you get the iPhone X? To be frank, unless you are a hardcore fan who’s in love with the Apple’s ecosystem, there’s no true value for your money here. With more and more phones offering the same features for even half the price, it doesn’t make sense to get the Apple iPhone X this year. Sorry Apple, but it is what it is.

When on a low carb diet, it can sometimes be difficult to make a wide selection of foods. When this happens, you may feel like you are stuck in a food rut, and you will be more likely to splurge on a food that doesn’t fit into your low carb lifestyle. One way to prevent this from happening is to get creative with common staples in your low carb diet. A simple protein food, such as eggs, may seem boring and lose its great flavor after a while. But the ways of preparing an egg can vary so widely, it truly can be the low carb dieter’s best friend. Read on for just a sampling of the ways you can prepare an egg to add variety to your meals and help you stick with your low carb plan:
Variety in Fried Eggs – A fried egg can be boring if you make it the same way every time, but there are actually many ways to prepare a fried egg that will make it seem like a different type of food every time. You can fry it over easy, over medium, over well, break the yolk or leave the yolk intact. Changing up the type of grease you use can also change the flavor. An egg fried in butter will taste different than an egg fried in olive oil, for example. You can also use bacon grease as a great way to change the flavor of your fried egg.
Egg Salads – While many people make egg salad with ingredients that aren’t low carb, there are many ways you can make an egg salad without interfering with your daily carb count. A quick search on the Internet will turn up many different types of egg salads, and you can expand on them to create your own special recipe that is low in carbs and adds variety to your weekly meal selection.
Poached Eggs – If you have never poached an egg, it is definitely worth trying – you essentially boil an egg without the shell. But the egg can be boiled in a variety of liquid options, each of which adding their own twist on the egg. Serving it atop a slice of low carb toast will give added flavor.
Boiled Eggs – While boiled eggs are typically only made one of two ways – hard or soft – making your eggs this way periodically can help prevent you from getting bored with other methods of preparing your eggs. Boiled eggs also work great in certain types of salads, or they can be eaten on their own.
Scrambled Eggs or Omelettes – This is a type of making eggs in which there really are virtually no limits. You can add in other low carb friendly foods, including cheese, ham, bacon, turkey, sausage, spices, and much more. Create different combinations and it help you achieve a new appreciation for the egg.

Is it really possible to treat a cavity without drilling?
Our office uses ozone dentistry, which in some cases can treat a cavity by changing the acidic environment beneath the enamel that is creating the problem. Changing the environment destroys the bacteria contributing to the damage and breaks the cycle. This stops the cavity from growing and actually encourages the body's own healing process to take over and repair the cavity.

So, when we learned that the Jamestown Building and Facilities Committee, which is responsible for evaluating municipal facilities and recommending changes and improvements, had turned its attention to the Jamestown Golf Course clubhouse, we researched the history of the building.
The clubhouse is over 100 years old. The Jamestown Golf and Country Club was incorporated as a private golf club in 1901 – only 13 years after the first American golf course, St. Andrew’s in Yonkers, N.Y., was established. The club leased the farm north of the new Shoreby Hill development, then owned by Edwin Littlefield. The first lease included the use of two rooms in the Littlefield farmhouse, but two rooms were obviously not enough space for a club.
That September, the club’s founders asked Louis W. Anthony, a local contractor, to build a onestory clubhouse. Originally, the clubhouse stood on the south side of the golf course, near the tennis courts now owned by the Conanicut Yacht Club. It was 50 by 27.5 feet – about a quarter of the size of the current clubhouse – with wide, ground-level porches on three sides.
In 1951, almost 50 years after the clubhouse was built, the Lyons family, who had bought the club in 1946, moved the building to 245 Conanicus Ave., where it now stands, and sold the Whittier Road tennis courts to the yacht club.
The town bought the golf course in 1986. Since then the building has been used for many purposes, including becoming the temporary town hall while the new building was being built on Narragansett Avenue.
Exhibit in library
A new exhibit featuring objects that were added to the JHS collection during the past 12 months was installed in the society’s display case in the library in mid- November. Stop by and see the oil painting of West Passage by John Cook, the Dutch Island Light keeper from 1915 to 1927, and the other books, papers, pictures, and memorabilia of Jamestown that we have been given. Everything we’ve received is listed on top of the case, but only a selection of smaller objects could be displayed.
Our pleas for recycled computers have been answered. Joe and Nancy Logan gave us Nancy’s retired desktop computer, and Joe Drago donated three laptops when his company, Integrated Management Systems, upgraded to the latest technology. The new equipment will allow us to expand our capabilities and greatly reduce the use of our most outdated systems. (One of the ones we’ve been using doesn’t have a DVD drive, which makes it hard to maintain.)
The JHS wants to exhibit as much of our collection of Jamestown memorabilia as possible. Two memorial stones in the collection were perfect candidates for permanent display outside. One of the stones memorializes “Staff Sgt. Murphy,” the canine mascot of the 243rd Coast Artillery, which was stationed in Jamestown during World War II; the other is a commemorative stone placed in front of the old Thorndike Hotel (where BankNewport is now) in 1906 for John Price Wetherill, a founder of the Jamestown Improvement Society. Ron Parfitt, Andrew Rushton and Bill Piva of the Jamestown Parks and Recreation Department came to our aid. They transported the heavy stones and sunk them in the ground in the garden next to the museum.
Thank you all very much.
Book Talk on Dec. 9
As a reminder, Sue Maden and I will discuss our book, “Jamestown: A History of Narragansett Bay’s Island Town,” and our collaboration in writing it at a joint JHS-Friends of the Library program at the library on Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. Autographed copies will be available then and at the craft fair at the Melrose School on Saturday, Dec. 4.
The book is on sale at stores in the village and around the area and at major bookstores at the cover price of $21.99. If you’re a JHS member and buy your copy through the society, the price is only $20, plus $3 shipping and handling if you want us to mail a copy to you.
The book is the perfect holiday gift for anybody who loves Jamestown. And all profits benefit the JHS, so you’re supporting the society too.
Oral History Project
This year’s oral history project to capture the recollections of people who were born before 1945 and grew up in Jamestown in the first half of the last century is well underway. Six interviews have been completed and more are scheduled in the near future.
If you are one of these pre- Baby Boomers, the Jamestown Historical Society wants to hear your story. Please call Sue Maden at 423-2167 or email her at sdmaden@ aol.com if you would like to volunteer to be interviewed as part of this JHS effort to chronicle the story of Jamestown.

A sci-fi film featuring a sexual relationship between a man and an android meant to replace his lost 10-year-old daughter has caused no shortage of outrage and even walkouts after its screenings at a Berlin film festival.
“The Trouble with Being Born,” directed by Austrian filmmaker Sandra Wollner, premiered at Berlinale 2020 late last month, according to the Independent.
The film centers around “Elli,” an android played by 10-year-old Lena Watson (a pseudonym), who calls her owner “Daddy.”
While much of the film’s content is innuendo or implied, the movie “leaves little doubt that the man, played by Dominik Warta, has a sexual relationship with the child robot,” the Independent reports.
A review by Slant retells one particularly disgusting scene:
Inklings of something disturbing in this isolated idyll, that too-close stare of the father and his dressing her just so, are eventually made explicit and disturbing. In one of the more effectively queasy body-horror moments ever put on film, the father removes Elli’s tongue and vagina for cleaning, leaving her naked on the counter. It’s a strikingly disgusting moment, pointing not just to the abuse he subjected his human daughter to, but the casual disdain with which he regards her replacement.
Wollner told The Hollywood Reporter that she was “scared” of choosing a child for the part at first. The role had initially been written for a 20-year-old, but the search for an actress half that age began after editing more explicit scenes from the script.
Wollner told The Hollywood Reporter that she looked for a minor who came from a “healthy environment.”
It was also necessary that the child for the role comes from “the sort of open-minded family who would understand the story they wanted to tell and also allow them to do it,” noted The Hollywood Reporter, who called the film “a hidden gem.”
The child actress used a silicone mask and a wig, which hides her identity and reinforces that “it’s a role she’s playing,” Wollner told Variety.
“Of course, her parents were there during the shoot. She was never naked, she was never running around naked, she never saw anybody naked on set. We just did that in the edit,” she added.
Instead, the film relied heavily on CGI for its handful of nude scenes.
“We had really honest talks with the family, who were there during the shoot. It was very open, very transparent. And of course we talked to [Watson] about the film in a very child-appropriate way,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
Does a “child-appropriate” way exist to tell a child she’s going to play a robot who will be sexually assaulted by her “father”? How on earth do you pull that off?
It seems only one film reviewer wasn’t keen on licking Wollner’s “bold” and “edgy” boots. In a review titled “Pedophilia Finally Gets Mainstream Nod in The Trouble with Being Born,” FilmGoblin asks, “Who are these people actually kidding?”
“Let’s not pretend that this isn’t about mainstreaming the last sexual perversion — other than bestiality — that isn’t socially acceptable,” the review states. “And there’s no argument to be made in defense of the existence of this film by using the ‘Lolita’ defense, or even the ‘well it’s just a robot’ defense.”
The review continues, rightfully shredding this piece of garbage film:
“Of course, if you live like an atheist and have a worldview that this world is all there is and that human beings aren’t any more than a conglomeration of cells accidentally swirled together, to both begin and end without meaning in the world, then why wouldn’t you build a kiddie sex robot, thus softening your resistance to going and getting a real kid? Hello, pagan morality.”
Children being used in disgusting, sexually explicit ways in independent film is nothing new, sadly. I only fear that it will become more common, like FilmGoblin noted, as the last remaining sexual perversions have their taboo status gradually eroded.
If you appreciate the work we are doing to fight the leftist assault on our values, please consider a small donation to help us continue. Thank you so much!

A clothing boutique in Los Angeles has received considerable flak for its new line of prescription drug T-shirts, which feature brand name painkillers and stimulants emblazoned on the back. While the line’s designer says the shirts are meant to open a dialogue about drug abuse, concerned opponents slam the way the drugs have been fetishized.
Designer Brian Lichtenberg designed the T-shirts, which feature the words “Xanax,” “Adderall,” and “Vicodin,” atop block-style numbers, for the L.A. boutique, Kitson. He called the shirts a “parody of pop culture,” but this classification has parents clamoring with outrage, particularly those whose children have suffered drug overdoses, arguing the shirts promote the drugs’ consumption and will fail to generate the supposed awareness Lichtenberg claims.
100 Drug Overdoses Per Day
Rates of prescription drug overdose in the United States have more than tripled since 1990, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2008 alone, there were 14,800 painkiller deaths, and for every one death, 32 people visited the emergency room for misuse or abuse and 130 people abused or were dependent, the CDC report adds.
One of the more vocal members of the opposition’s side is actress Kristen Johnston, who took to Twitter and appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America to voice her concerns. “Millions are dying, & u want to make $ off it. SHAME ON YOU,” she wrote, including the boutique’s Twitter handle. Johnston appeared on Good Morning America in part to discuss her personal connection to the story, as she battled a troubling Vicodin addiction for years.
“There’s so much secrecy,” she said in the interview with Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts. “And I think it keeps people sick. I really do. I think, so I think if you need to tell someone, you should.”
People siding with Lichtenberg point to consumer responsibility as the sole arbiter in whether the shirts should stay or go. Kitson’s store manager, whose name has not been released, upheld the shirts for promoting a person’s free speech.
“Ultimately it’s freedom of speech,” the manager said. “And it’s fashion and there’s a fun part of it, and it’s parody and people can wear it and say what they want on their shirts.”
Legal Art Or Illegal Infringement?
The legality of the shirts may still be under question, however. Adderall, Vicodin, and Xanax all have trademarked copyrights on their names, making copyright infringement the larger player in whether the shirts stay on the racks. Representatives from each of the drug manufacturers released statements to TMZ detailing their plan of action.
"We had no involvement NOR do we approve of the sale of such a product using Adderall to glorify the misuse of our product,” an Adderall rep said.
"Prescription drug use should not be trivialized. It is a serious issue and we will be taking legal action to stop the clothing company from trying to sell such a product," Vicodin’s rep stated, with Xanax’s rep stating the drug manufacturer is also considering legal action.
Lichtenberg released a statement on Tuesday on the boutique’s Facebook page emphasizing his support for the shirts’ design:
"I have created a collection of t-shirts that are a parody of pop culture. This particular collection of prescription tee's is simply a commentary on what I see happening in our society. Call it what you may, but art in all forms is created off of pop culture and the social situations that surround it. A large percentage of Americans are prescribed these drugs by doctors every day for legitimate reason. These are not illegal substances. These tee's are not meant to encourage prescription drug abuse, but if they open the door to a much needed dialogue, as they seem to be doing now, then mission accomplished."
Mother Helen Woolardone, whose son died from a prescription drug overdose, questioned the effectiveness of Lichtenberg’s T-shirt campaign, however.
"My son started with prescribed Vicodin~6 years later he died from a fentanyl overdose.... Good Job, Brian,” she wrote. “I'm sure all the 14 year olds wanting to wear these are aware of the 'pop art statement' you're trying to make.”

IRS Will No Longer Accept Check Payments of Over $99,999,999
Did you have a really good year in the markets last year and now owe the IRS more than $100 million? Did your business have a great year and now you have to cut a check for $150 million to the government?
If so, the Internal Revenue Service wants you to know that they will no longer be accepting checks for over $99,999,999. If tax payment is going to be $100 million or over, you will either need to:
1) Wire money directly to the government
2) Write multiple checks
According to a representative from the Department of Treasury, the government is instituting this new policy for a number of reasons. The main reason, they say, is to prevent the possibility of fraud and errors, as any checks for over $100 million have to be processed by hand.
In addition, checks can be lost or stolen. It seems hard to imagine a company sending a check for over $100 million through the mail, but it must happen.
The government's check-processing equipment at Federal Reserve banks, according to the IRS, can not process checks for over $99,999,999.
In case you are wondering, the IRS says that a total of 14 checks were written for over $99,999,999 last year.

Snow Flake Wine Cozys
Is it too early to start prepping for Christmas? I think not. I’ve created this trio of wine cozys to celebrate the winter season. This is a very versatile pattern which uses the same instructions for the top and bottom, and allows for creativity in between. There are 2 snowflake designs that can be worked with one of 3 techniques: stranding, fair isle, or duplicate stitch. The green example uses a simple embroidery technique. So let you imagination go wild, and get ready for those winter parties.

text: With the increase of quality of the people's life, more and more families and enterprises will buy pet fish, of them some are common pet fish, and some are high-grade tropical pet fish worth of money. While you are raising the pet fish, you shall guarantee to feed them scientifically on time as they are just like the human being, they also eat. At present, the food for pet fish is red worms, baby shrimps, and little shrimp meat. They are usually packed in large-size packs or bottles. While they are easily bring the user many troubles and losses like the nutrients of the red worms lost the freshness, producing germs. Moreover we are not easy to master the amount of food while feeding the pet fish. That is to say they are not packed in a scientific manner. In the foreign countries, they are packed with al-plastic materials in a freeing manner that can overcome the above defects. Therefore our research fellows have repeatedly made experiments. In the end, they have developed innovatively the domestically advanced Absorption and Pouring type fish food packaging-feeding device XSJ Series that have been patented by the state patent administration. Its patent number is 200610008264.77. This Frozen Shrimp has two models, model 250 and model 140. It is integrated mechanic, electric, pneumatic technologies. All the operations are controlled through signals sent off by the sensor switches. It's equipped with PLC program, simplifying the construction, making the blister locking synchronize with it to achieve the feeding the pet fish food. The packed food won't be destroyed in its cells and nutrients, and the products won't be deteriorated in the fridge at 18 below zero for within two years, which can keep the proteins and vitamins in the food from losing, keeping its sound performance of returning to water. Therefore it is popular among the consumers. It is exported to Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Hong Kong.
