Phen 375 Lose Weight More Easily Than Ever BeforePhen375 Forum Don't Wait to Lose Weight!
Achieving our weight loss goals can sometimes seem completely out of reach. We usually start out highly motivated. The farther we get from our first resolution to lose weight, the less motivated we often feel. There are ways you can stay motivated. If you want to learn how you can become one of those people that loses weight and keeps it off, read on for tips and ideas.
It is important to define a specific, measurable goal before you start losing weight. It is important to determine exactly how much weight you want to lose so that you can stay motivated and on track with your weight loss journey.
You should make an effort to keep track of your weight loss progress every week. Don't forget to make a daily list of everything that passes your lips, no matter how big or small. Detailing what you have eaten in a written format allows you to take responsibility for your decisions. Keeping this diary will remind you to eat healthier and make better choices.
Usually, poor food decisions are due to extreme hunger. Be sure you do not wait until you are really starving before you eat. Schedule your meals and have snacks on hand. Instead of eating fast food, pack a healthy lunch. Planning ahead protects both your waistline and your wallet! Foolish choices about what to eat often stem from simply allowing yourself to get too hungry. Avoid allowing yourself to become too hungry before you eat. You should try to keep healthy snacks available and have all of your meals planned out. Instead of eating at a restaurant, bring your lunch from home. This will be easy both on your wallet and on your calorie count.
The most effective weight loss plans combine healthy eating and exercise. You will actually have more energy if you set aside time to exercise regularly every week. Finding exercise activities that you address have fun doing can be a great way to do this if you find yourself struggling to stick to a standard exercise plan. See if any of your friends would like to engage in a fun, calorie burning activity like dancing or hiking.
If junk food is not handy, you will be far less likely to choose it. If at all possible, eliminate junk food from your home. You are more likely to eat healthy foods if you are surrounded by them.
Enlist the support of your friends during your weight loss journey. Although no one else can lose weight for you, the support from others will be invaluable when you are tempted to just give up. When you do not have the motivation to keep going, you should call your support system and talk about it.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is often linked to military conflict and abuse. If you ask anyone who's been through a rough divorce, life is never really the same. Yet most people don't recognize PTSD after divorce as a legitimate issue, which makes it really hard on those suffering.
I've seen this first-hand. Divorce can seriously sever relationships with the people around you and even the people you meet in the future.
Take my best friend Jim. I've known him since the days you could wear sweatbands and still look cool. He divorced his wife in 2017 and although he manages much better nowadays, I still see the signs of PTSD after divorce.
Understanding PTSD
Medically speaking, the American Psychiatric Association define PTSD as a disorder "that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event".
What I want to draw attention to is the question of what exactly constitutes a traumatic event? This is important because if there's anything I'd like for you to take out of this piece is how to know when it's time to ask for help.
The signs of PTSD after divorce can vary. There is no standard list for PTSD after divorce symptoms- trust me I've tried to look for one. Those experiencing PTSD, or signs, could be experiencing negative thoughts or feelings which makes them want to isolate themselves.
Jim has always been a bubbly person. Everyone knew him or wanted to know him. He never needed to confide in me, he was a man for himself. But I started to realize that he went through long periods of not talking to anyone or making the effort to meet his friends and family. This was unlike him and I knew he needed help.
I tried doing some research to learn how to empathize. The Good Men Project was my go-to website. I'd spend hours trying to find a description of my friend's behavior and quickly realized that divorce for men is often a different experience- a traumatic one.
How did I help?
Like the average man in America, my favorite place is the bar. It's where I knew Jim would be most comfortable, and himself.
So, I started a 'Saturday Bar Day'. First, it was just me and Jim, but slowly, I got our friends involved. Being with friends, you learn how to find yourself again and slowly but surely, Jim got his confidence back and began opening up to the idea of dating again.
I am in no way a doctor! I just want to raise awareness on something I think isn't talked about enough.
Please speak to a professional if you're struggling.

We have previously looked in to some very controversial ingredients which are found in many cosmetics. Some of these such, as parabens are avoided by many manufacturers and smaller cosmetic producers, who genuinely try to only include natural ingredients. Of course, there are many products out there which claim to be 'natural', although to anyone who is merely mildly educated, it is obvious that the 'natural' claim is very ambiguous or even deceiving. It can be extremely confusing for consumers who want non-toxic cosmetics, as labelling appears to be 'flexible' in regards as to what is classed as 'natural'. Even more confusing to consumers is when cosmetic producers who usually stick to natural ingredients, start adding ingredients such as mineral oil to their formulas. Mineral oil does actually sounds natural and we believe this combination of reasons make it incredibly controversial.
As we say, as a name 'mineral oil' sounds very appealing. It does have other names too, although cosmetic producers tend to avoid use of these as they do not sound quite as appealing. Here are some of the names to watch out for if you want to avoid mineral oil in products you may buy:
Adepsine oil, lignite oil, petrolatum, albolene, liquid paraffin, paraffin oil, white oil, drakeol, Mineral seal oil, Baby oil, adepsine oil, alboline, bayol 55, cable oil, bayol f, blandlube, blandol white mineral oil, carnea 21, clearteck, crystol 325, crystoso, diala-X, AX, electrical insulating oil, ervol, filtrawhite, fonoline, frigol, glymol, heat-treating oil, hevyteck, hydraulic oil, hydrocarbon oils, jute batching oil, kaydol, kondremul, kremol, LHM, lignite oil, liquid paraffin, lubricating oil, master Shimmer, mineral oil (saturated parrafin oil), mineral oil hydrocarbon solvent (petroleum), mineral oil mist, mineral oil, aromatic, mineral oil, paraffinic, mineral seal oil, molol, neo-cultol, nujol, oil mist, oil mist, mineral, severely refined, refined mineral oil, petroleum, paraffin oil (class), parol, paroleine, peneteck, penreco, perfecta, petrogalar, petroleum hydrocarbons, petroleum, liquid primol, primol 355, primol d, protopet, saxol, tech pet, f triona b, uvasol, univolt N60, 80 and voltesso 35.
There may be even more names out there which we have not managed to bring to your attention here. We are strongly of the opinion that compounds should have only one name to stop consumers being misled. Even the most ardent pursuer of truly natural ingredients is going to struggle evading toxic ingredients, when just one substance can come under so many names. You have to question why manufacturers go to such lengths to find so many names, if the ingredient is healthy and beneficial.
So, what exactly is mineral oil and what is it used for? This odourless and colourless liquid is a by-product of petroleum distillation, in the production of petrol/gasoline. Its use in creams, cosmetics, ointments and lotions is very common. It is lightweight and reduces water loss from the skin, furthermore it is cheap, which gives it appeal. If you search out the benefits of mineral oil online, one of the first things you will find is that it is excellent for constipation. By the end of this article you may think twice about wanting to put it on your skin, let alone orally ingest it. If anyone reading this is suffering from constipation, there are many other truly natural ways to combat this. You will find mineral oil used in eczema treatments also. Considering that many eczema sufferers are children, we think you should be very careful in using a formula containing mineral oil. Considering that cracked skin also accompanies eczema in many cases, toxins can get into the bloodstream with a far greater ease. Formulas for nappy rash also use this oil and babies do not need toxins smearing all over them. We have an eczema balm of our own which is having startling results and hope to get it to laboratory testing and released later in the year. Every ingredient is organic.
One of the disturbing things about mineral oil toxins is that they are not metabolised and released by the body. Concin, N. et al (2011) reported in their study, that there is strong evidence that mineral oil hydrocarbons are the GREATEST contaminant of the human body. They state that hydrocarbons amount to approximately 1g per person, with the routes to contamination possibly being via air inhalation, food intake and dermal absorption. Fat specimens were taken from 142 study participants, who were undergoing C-sections, whilst milk samples were taken both 4 and 20 days after the surgery. Both milk and fat samples were found to be contaminated with mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons which led the researchers to conclude:
"The increase in MOSH [mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons] concentration in human fat tissue with age suggests an accumulation over time. Cosmetics might be a relevant source of the contamination."
This is a very disturbing finding and one which leans on the beliefs that our children are being bombarded with toxins from their earliest stages of development inside the womb, let alone once they are delivered into this world. As we have reported in previous articles, studies have also found over 200 chemicals present in umbilical cord blood samples. Could the explosive rise in autism spectrum disorders be linked?
There are multiple studies which certainly link polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to autism. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are evidenced to limit the expression of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase gene, which is vital to early life neurodevelopment. It is also significantly reduced in autistic brains. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons affect us via traffic pollution, industrial pollution and even through the cooking and burning of meat. Indoor air purifiers are certainly worth considering in a bid to counteract such toxic exposure. These toxins are inescapable to a degree, but if the body accumulates hydrocarbons, is it really wise to then top up internal toxin levels by using products with mineral oils in? We CAN avoid these and damage limitation in the long term can have a profound effect on our health, our children's health and the health of any future children you may plan on having. We have labelled a section of our references specifically for further reading on study links to autism via polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. We recommend reading these to enhance understanding.
One of the reasons people are drawn to mineral oil is its ability to lock in moisture. This is a very double-sided sword and many formulators may be the victims of limited research here. In cases of dry skin and particularly eczema type conditions, there is not enough moisture in the skin to start with. Once you start applying mineral oil you not only stop moisture getting out, you stop it getting in. Mineral oil has been found to create an almost plastic like film over the skin. This stops atmospheric moisture being able to benefit the skin. Considering the skin is the bodies largest organ and also used to detoxify toxins from the body, it is not wise to be restricting its ability to function in this way. There is a study from 2005 Journey of Cosmetic Dermatology which states that although industrial grade mineral oil is comedogenic, cosmetic grade is not. You can test this yourself if you are a proponent of mineral oil, by simply applying it to one half of your face daily for a week. Most people will get break outs of zits within a few days. To us personally, whether it is comedogenic or not is irrelevant. There are far greater concerns with it, which will stop us ever using it in our products.
Petroleum products are classified as xenoestrogens, which when present in the body mimic the hormone estrogen. This causes an endocrine disruption and hormonal imbalance within the body. Dr Anna Soto of Tufts has performed multiple experiments on xenoestrogens and concluded they are undoubtedly cumulative. Estrogen dominance has been extensively linked to cancer and Dr Roby Mitchell, speaking on the influence of xenoestrogens and cancer, states:
"that's one of the reasons why we see such a proliferation of cancer in the West. We're seeing it more in third world countries now. Because of our exposure to environmental and pharmaceutical estrogens, that has the effect of throwing more gasoline on the fire".
Vrabie, DM et al (2011) further evidence petroleum based products are xenoestrogens with their studies, which were released in the Environmental Toxicology Chemistry journal. They state:
"The present study indicates that oils contain compounds with possible endocrine-disrupting potential, some of them acting via the hormone receptors."
To further confound 'natural' formulators or product seekers, we find with much alarm, that there is further concern that mineral oil is highly at risk of contamination… by carcinogenic compounds! EWG researchers assessed 15,000 cosmetic and personal care products ingredients and discovered that 22% of all products may be contaminated with 1, 4-dioxanne. The finding was confirmed by new products tests finding the cancer-causing chemical in 18 of more than 2 dozen products, of which 15 of the products were for babies and children! EWG believe that 80% of all products may be contaminated with one or more of 2 dozen recognized cosmetic impurities, which are linked to cancer and other health concerns. The trace contaminants in petroleum-based ingredients, in many cases, penetrate the skin with ease (according to government and industry studies). Disturbingly, they are permitted at any level and are under NO restriction limits by government safety standards.
With such lunacy present in the law, YOU have to determine what you are willing to leave yourself open to. You cannot trust slick marketing and claims of being 'natural' or 'organic'. They alone mean nothing when they are only attached to an ingredient. You NEED to know what that ingredient is!!! We only use organic plant based oils in our So Luscious eyelash growth serum, because they are TRULY derived from nature. In a time when we have never been open to the access of so much knowledge, we collectively as the human race, have never been so ignorant. Everybody wants a quick fix, they haven't got the time, they are so busy…the list of excuses goes on and on. You have to educate yourself. You cannot trust what anyone alone tells you, which is why we always add references and always recommend you read them for further learning. An informed mind is an educated mind.
You cannot trust government guidelines, they often change. You cannot trust your favoured 'natural expert', the one who claims to be able to cure all. We are all on an ever-learning journey and such ignorance can be lethal. It is also lethal, to remain ignorant and to not check-up on what you hear is a great ingredient or the next 'big' thing. Just check out things with your own research also, you have been given divine intuition to help you through this life… many have thrown it away or surrendered it. If that is you, get back on your track to rediscover it. We know that to some, this article is going to be our most controversial yet, simply because so many 'natural' formulators choose to include this ingredient. There are undoubtedly supporters of it, you may even choose to still use it yourself after reading this. It is your choice, and we respect that and whatever you choose, we wish you well.
As a company though, we strive for the best because we believe that beauty should not come at the price of toxicity and the two should never mix. We would rather absorb the extra cost to produce high-grade products, than get profits at the expense of your health. The research into these articles always opens-up our own eyes, as much as anybody else's. This article in particular, has stunned us. The potential for such levels of toxicity, for something that offers NO nutritious benefits and from what we find, only traps in moisture already present in the skin, is crazy! That it is directed at babies and children as much as adults, troubles us deeply. When these products came out decades ago, people knew no better and trusted wholly that if a product is available for sale, it must be safe. We now know much better, ignorance does not save lives.
With the technological advancements that have made over the last 30 years alone, we should be witnessing lives being lived for much longer. Instead, we see a huge surge in cancer, dementia and with our children, autism. These things do not happen for no reason and toxicity likely plays a role. Toxicity taxes YOUR lifespan and its quality. It is surely time to really start to make wise choices and reclaim your health. If nothing else, we hope you have found this article thought provoking. Until our next article, we wish you a healthy, happy and toxic free time.

It was the right time to get the fall clean-up done on my section of the North Country Trail. In the spring I had Om drop me off and I walked straight through the whole section. I knew there was more work to do this time, so I split it into two days with a campout in the middle.
Here's my trail work gear pack.
I began yesterday afternoon at the south end. Hiked in 2.5 miles to the spur trail that leads to a campground. I didn't get the spur checked in the spring. But not the first day. Instead I turned around and walked back to the car. One of my favorite pieces of trail in this section is on an old railroad bed. Straight and level, but through a swamp. Very pretty and with lots of interesting plants to see if you protect from bugs enough to slow down and look. No bugs this weekend.
I picked up the car and drove to the campground where I spent the night. Cooked dinner, read till dark, slept.
This morning, Loren came and took me to the north end of my trail. She and her pups (you've met Corky, the little black one is Koa. She's new, and recovering from being spayed) walked with me for a little ways, till the first cross road. Thanks, Loren!
Most of my trail is not particularly remarkable, but that doesn't mean it's not beautiful and satisfying to the soul.
If you click the link below for the spring trip, you'll see the picture of a small area that had just burned. The Forest Service put the fire out quickly, and here's what the area looks like after just one summer. Amazing!
I did do a lot more work than on the spring walk. There was a LOT of clipping to do. All the areas that are growing up in oak sprouts (a blowdown area from a few years ago, a timber harvest area, and the burned area) needed extensive trimming where the oak was encroaching on the trail. Over the two days, I spent 9.5 hours walking and working. That is exactly one mile an hour. That's fairly normal for trail work, I think.
This is the most difficult thing I had to clear. Notice the trail goes right through the middle of this.
No problem. Well, it would have been easier if it wasn't right at the end of the day when I was already tired. Took six cuts, but I got 'er done!
Hiked to the turnoff, and then out the spur to the campground and my car.
Now I'm off for a night of work! Yes, I took a nap this time.

iPhone X: let the stampede begin!
Can't wait for the iPhone X? If you weren't one of the very first people to reserve yours when Apple opened the ordering process, odds are you'll have to wait weeks or months to get one. Available reservations were snapped up in minutes for the November 3 release, and wait times are now up to several weeks or more. Rumors of manufacturing issues have again cropped up, and Apple watchers (as opposed to Apple Watches) are beating the bushes for the low-down.
Apple stores will have some available on the release date, but the advice to improve your chances of getting one is to "arrive early".
The latest iPhone won't come cheap. AT&T and Verizon are advertising the phone at $999.99 for the 64gb model, and $1,149.99 for one with 256gb of memory. For that price, here's some of what you'll get:
5.8 inch 'Super Retina' screen, a camera that will allow facial recognition, wireless charging, and a glass cover said to be more durable than ever before.
Apple will be happy to tell you more about their latest phone, you can check it out at https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/

The actuary is responsible for gathering data and making calculations that determine defined benefit pension plan funding. The actuary works with the pension policy and objectives established by trustees, the contribution level provided in the collective bargaining agreement, the statistical data on participants and the funding standards required by law. An actuary has a legal duty to use his or her best judgment in making assumptions and calculations concerning plan funding.
The actuary must annually submit an actuarial report to trustees. Parts of the report must be included with Form 5500, which is filed each year with the Department of Labor, Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. The report includes an actuarial valuation which is a snapshot of the plan's funding status. More specifically it provides calculations for:
The actuarial valuation permits trustees to see once a year whether current funding is meeting retirement benefit liabilities and what the plan will have one, five, ten, 20 and 40 years in the future.
To make all the necessary calculations, the actuary uses financial and participant data supplied by the plan and must also make several assumptions about future data that affects the plan's funding levels.
The funding status of a defined benefit pension plan is identified by zones as follows:
If an employer chooses to withdraw from a multiemployer pension plan, it must pay its share of any unfunded vested liability. When a withdrawal occurs, trustees are responsible for calculating the amount of withdrawal liability (using the fund's actuary) and assessing and collecting the withdrawal liability amount.

Red Bull has unveiled Red Bull Conquest, a new U.S. fighting game tournament circuit that will travel across the country in the coming months. Red Bull's goal is to find the best players in 15 cities for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Tekken 7, and Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2.
The qualifier tournaments will crown one winner in the three fighting games to represent their region at the national finals in Washington, D.C. These players will face off in their respective games to determine which fighting game region reigns supreme.
The circuit will kick off in Chicago on April 28, then continue across the country with qualifiers in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle. It culminates with the last chance qualifier and national finals in Washington D.C on November 16 to November 18.
Jimmy Nguyen, national tournament director for Red Bull Conquest at Level Up, said in an interview that the tournaments will promote local players in a "proving ground" where the players will qualify for the big Evo fighting game world championship in Japan. In that sense, the contest could find unknown, talented amateurs who may become contenders as professional esports players.
"We are about trying to build our local communities and bringing them together," Nguyen said. "What Red Bull has done is create a platform for local events. You can see what it means to have a regional fighting game community."
The winners of the final contest will split $4,500 in prize money and a trip to Japan for Evo. Red Bull Conquest is the third annual competition for America's esports players, and
Red Bull Conquest is supported by BenQ, SteelSeries, Hori, and Events DC. Smash.gg manages the tournaments, and athletes can register on smash.gg/.
"Events DC is proud to partner with Red Bull to bring the Red Bull Conquest National Finals to the new Entertainment & Sports Arena (ESA) in our nation's capital," said Erik A. Moses, senior vice president and managing director, Events DC Sports, Entertainment and Special Events, in a statement. "The venue is constructed with state-of-the-art infrastructure to be an ideal site for esports and we could not be more excited to have the National Finals as the first major esports event hosted at the ESA."
Last year, Street Fighter V was the sole game, but to add variety and enhance the community, Red Bull added Tekken 7 and Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2. Last year's circuit also hit only 11 cities, compared to 15 for this year. Each regional tournament is expected to draw hundreds of people, and the events will be streamed.
"What we want to do is groom the community for other events like Evo," Nguyen said. "It's a training ground. As for esports, it's great to see gaming being accepted as mainstream. As kids, we grew up on it but were told not to play too long. Now it's a recreational and professional sport. It's great to see that transition."

President David A. Greene will present bachelor of arts degrees to approximately 500 seniors at Colby College's 195th Commencement Sunday, May 22. The ceremony, which is open to the public, will begin at 10 a.m. in front of Miller Library and will be webcast at colby.edu.
Members of the Class of 2016 came to Colby from 31 states and are citizens of 31 countries. The class includes 51 members of Phi Beta Kappa, a Thomas J. Watson Fellow, three Fulbright teaching assistants, and two Davis Projects for Peace grant winners. Approximately two thirds of the class studied abroad, traveling to more than 40 countries. The majority of graduates have completed internships and significant research, and they will go on to a broad range of careers and to graduate or professional schools to study law, education, finance, medicine, nonprofit leadership, and other disciplines.
Internet pioneer and author Arianna Huffington, cofounder of the Huffington Post, will deliver the commencement address. Sharing the lectern with Huffington will be senior class speaker Brendan Leonard, a theater and dance and English double major from Rowley, Mass. Leonard—who interned for the Public Theater in New York, studied acting in Ireland, and created experimental performance pieces—was chosen by vote of the senior class.
The only student award acknowledged at commencement, Colby's Condon Medal for engaged citizenship, goes to Bonnie Maldonado, from Bronx, N.Y. Maldonado, a Posse Scholar and an American studies major and women's, gender, and sexuality studies and Italian double minor, was hailed by Greene last month as "a scholar, an activist, and a leader." After graduation she will serve as a Coro Fellow in a prestigious leadership development program.
Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to President Barack Obama and an architect of the administration's legislative strategy, will deliver remarks to Colby seniors at baccalaureate on Saturday, May 21. Baccalaureate, an event open only to graduating seniors, celebrates graduates' ties to the College and serves as an important moment for the faculty, administration, and trustees to acknowledge their contributions.
Along with Jarrett and Huffington, honorary degree recipients include Edwin T. Liu, president and CEO of Jackson Laboratories, and Lars Peter Hansen, a Nobel Memorial Prize-winning economist and expert in economic dynamics.
Seating for commencement is limited. Standing room on the lawns at the rear and along the sides of the venue is open to the public. Information about parking and traffic is in the FAQ section of Colby's commencement website. If inclement weather necessitates moving the ceremony to the Harold Alfond Athletic Center, tickets will be required for admission to Wadsworth Gymnasium, where the ceremony would take place. Individuals without tickets may watch live video on a large screen in the field house.
Founded in 1813, Colby is one of America's most selective colleges. Serving only undergraduates, Colby offers a rigorous academic program rooted in deep exploration of ideas and close interaction with world-class faculty scholars. Students pursue intellectual passions, choosing among 57 majors or developing their own. Independent and collaborative research, study abroad, and internships offer robust opportunities to prepare students for postgraduate success. Colby is home to a community of 1,850 dedicated and diverse students from around the globe. Its Maine location provides easy access to world-class research institutions and civic engagement experiences.
More information about commencement is available at colby.edu/commencement.

There is a such a big hue and cry today about HDFC AMC doing what could be termed as the best solution in the given circumstances. Instead of leaving its investors in a lurch, it has decided to step up and the market is punishing the AMC for this.
From a situation where some of its Fixed Maturity Plans (FMPs) were stuck, today they have been given an exit. HDFC AMC plans to transfer Rs.500 crore worth of the FMPs exposure to Essel Group firms to its own books. The company has said that such liquidity arrangement was in its larger long term interest, purely as a measure to provide liquidity to the relevant unitholders.
Explaining the terms of this plan, the AMC has said:
- Applicable to NCDs issued by Edisons Infrapower & Multiventures Private Limited and Sprit Infrapower & Multiventures Private Limited, companies promoted by the Essel group.
- This liquidity arrangement shall only apply in case of FMP Schemes (having an exposure to the NCDs issued by the Essel Group Companies) which have either already matured in the month of April, 2019 and/ or will mature till the standstill arrangement entered into by the Company with Essel Group Companies is in force.
- Provision of such liquidity arrangement will entail acquisition by the company of NCDs issued by the Essel Group Companies held by such FMP Schemes at the prevailing valuation as on respective maturity/purchase dates.
Cutting through all this mumbo-jumbo, what this means in simple terms – the FMPs had acquired NCDs of the two Essel group companies. There are investors who have invested in these FMPs and given the liquidity crisis at Essel group, they are stuck. To give them an exit, HDFC AMC will buy these NCDs from its mutual fund's FMPs and pay off its investors. The AMC had time till Sept 2019 to recover the money but it decided to take this preemptive step and compensate its investors. Maybe because the NCDs have not yet been downgraded – there hasn't been a payment default yet.
The AMC will be buying these NCDs from the FMPs at market prices and once the FMPs receive the money, they can choose to either repay the investors or credit the amount to the FMP that got rolled over. For schemes that will mature after Sept 2019, the AMC has decided to wait.
It is to be applauded that the AMC has put its foot forward to build trust in its company; this move shows that it cares about its investors and will not leave them high and dry because some of its calculated risks did not pan out the way it should have.
HDFC AMC is expecting the tab of this rescue plan to be about Rs.500 crore. But that's good money spent to protect the interest of the FMP investors; the best action in fiduciary mature that any mutual fund is supposed to play. Next time, when an investor wants to decide on which mutual fund to go for, HDFC is sure to rank higher. That's what this rescue action has built - faith in times of rampant fraud and cheating.
This tab of Rs.500 crore is being perceived as a loss for the AMC and this is the main reason why the stock price tanked today.
But many in the industry say that it's too premature to label this as loss. For now, it will be a transfer of Essel NCDs to the books of AMC and will stand as an investment with adequate cover. HDFC AMC is said to have more than 1.7 times cover for its exposure to Essel group. Around Rs.400 crore is covered under the liquidity window. Thus there is no hair cut – transfer is happening at face value to AMC and FMPs get their full money back – they are likely to get back the amount they invested.
At this juncture, the AMC has not revealed when and how this rescue plan is going to happen. But one should draw comfort from the fact that there is enough collateral if push comes to shove.
Of course, shareholders of the company are mighty angry that HDFC AMC is going to be using their, shareholders money, to buy the NCDs.
Thus such kind of rescue plans, which have happened many a times in the past too, always work in favor of the unit holders but goes against the shareholders of the AMCs. This is probably what they mean when they warn you, "subject to market risks."
For a mutual fund, everything is reputation and HDFC mutual fund just built up on that!

The term 'existence' is employed by Lacan in various ways (see éiûek, 1991: 136-7):
Existence in the symbolic
This sense of existence is to be understood in the context of Freud's discussion of the 'judgement of existence', by which the existence of an entity is affirmed prior to attributing any quality to it (see Freud, 1925h; see BEJAHUNG). Only what is integrated in the symbolic order fully 'exists' in this sense, since 'there is no such thing as a prediscursive reality' (S20, 33). It is in this sense that Lacan argues that 'woman does not exist' (Lacan, 1973a: 60); the symbolic order contains no signifier for femininity, and hence the feminine position cannot be fully symbolised. It is important to note that, in the symbolic order, 'nothing exists except on an assumed foundation of absence. Nothing exists except insofar as it does not exist' (Ec, 392). In other words, everything that exists in the symbolic order only exists by virtue of its difference to everything else. It was Saussure who first pointed this out when he argued that in language there are no positive terms, only differences (Saussure, 1916).
Existence in the real
In this sense, it is only that which is impossible to symbolise that exists: the impossible Thing at the heart of the subject. 'There is in effect something radically unassimilable to the signifier. It's quite simply the subject's singular existence' (S3, 179). This is the existence of the subject of the unconscious, S, which Lacan describes as an 'ineffable, stupid existence' (E, 194). This second sense of the term existence is exactly the opposite of existence in the first sense. Whereas existence in the first sense is synonymous with Lacan's use of the term BEING, existence in the second sense is opposed to being. Lacan coins the neologism ex-sistence to express the idea that the heart of our being (Kern unseres Wesen) is also radically Other, strange, outside (Ec, l1); the subject is decentred, his centre is outside of himself, he is ex-centric. Lacan also speaks of the 'ex-sistence (Entstellung) of desire in the dream' (E, 264), since the dream cannot represent desire except by distorting it.

Asian Carp
Liberals Pass Bill To Change Fish's Name Because It's Hurtful and Offensive (banning names is all the rage with liberals these days)
The Minnesota Senate approved John Hoffman's (D-MN) bill to change the name "Asian carp" so called because the species originates from Asia, to "invasive carp". Since Asian carp were introduced in the U.S. in the 1970′s, the fish have spread to dozens of states causing destruction in the delicate ecosystems of the waterways.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been fighting off the most invasive species, the black carp from China, the Silver carp from Vietnam, and Grass carp from China from spreading into the Great Lakes were the fish could do massive damage the regions fishing industry. While arguing his case on the Senate floor, Hoffman said that referring to the fish as "Asian" was hurtful to some people.

The Good Wife
Like the conflicted new bangs she began sporting at the beginning of the season (half sly swoop, half demurely combed back), Julianna Margulies' Alicia Florrick is both bouncy and a little awkward on The Good Wife these days. After two seasons of righteous, wronged-woman anger and independence-seeking assertiveness, Alicia has pretty much gotten what she wanted. She's booted her philandering husband (Chris Noth's Peter), she's bedding her favorite colleague (Josh Charles' Will), and she's now a third-year associate at Lockhart & Gardner, so she wields more influence at work.
So what are her problems, where's her drama? Ah, this is the awkwardness I referred to. Everything truly dynamic about this season is occurring around Alicia, not to her. Peter is using his current status as state's attorney to make Lockhart & Gardner — and Will in particular — squirm. Alan Cumming's Eli Gold has moved into the firm's office to be closer to the action and more frequently irritating, especially to Archie Panjabi's Kalinda, whom he tried to claim as his private employee. And Matt Czuchry's Cary was promoted but can't savor it because he's been assigned to do Peter's dirty work.
You see what I mean about Alicia being the eye of the storm — yet a still, small center? Other than fighting some good fights in the courtroom (where guest stars such as Eddie Izzard and Dylan Baker continue to make The Good Wife the best place to argue a lawsuit in prime time), Alicia is most active when slipping in and out of bed with Will. I miss her liquor-fueled chats with Kalinda when they were buddies. I miss her family power plays with her mother-in-law, Jackie (Mary Beth Peil). And sometimes I miss The Good Wife. I mean literally: CBS has frustrated fans in moving it to Sunday nights. There, The Good Wife is frequently pushed back as much as 30 minutes by football overruns. I've never seen a show resort to ads in which, rather than plug the week's plot, it exhorts viewers to "record for two hours — go to cbs.com/dvr." When you have to teach your audience how to find your show, the advantages of being an Emmy winner on a broadcast network decrease.
All that said, The Good Wife regularly snaps back into first-rate storytelling. And I trust that creators Robert and Michelle King are playing the long game, spending the first half of the season setting up all these subplots around Alicia so that she will eventually become the focus of each one. At least, that's my fondest wish. That, and my wish that Alicia would go back to her old hairdo. B+

No one had seen any sign of Krista Rae Bowman after she had traveled from California to Southern Colorado in March 2017, but one clue as to the missing …
No one had seen any sign of Krista Rae Bowman after she had traveled from California to Southern Colorado in March 2017, but one clue as to the missing woman's whereabouts may have been sitting in the parking lot of a Taos apartment complex for as long as a year.
On March 14, 2017, Bowman, who would now be 32, packed all of her belongings into her silver 2001 Toyota Avalon and drove away from her mother's residence in Morongo Valley, California, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. She told her family she was headed to visit her boyfriend, Christopher Starr Perfect, in Colorado.
In April 2017, after she had reached Fort Garland, she exchanged messages with her family via Facebook, telling them she had reunited with Perfect in Southern Colorado.
That was the last time anyone heard from her.
California law enforcement disseminated a missing persons notice in May. They later located Perfect in Wyoming after he had been picked up on a parole violation.
According to their investigation, no one in that part of Wyoming had ever heard of or seen Bowman.
Since her disappearance last year, Bowman's family has feared the worst, according to a June 2017 report from KESQ News Channel 3, a news outlet based in the Palm Springs, California area.
No clues had surfaced until last week, when an unidentified source sighted a suspicious vehicle, a silver Toyota Avalon, parked outside Cruz Alta Condominiums at the southeast corner of the intersection of Gusdorf and Cruz Alta roads.
They reported the car to Taos County Crime Stoppers, explaining they suspected the car may have been stolen. It had been parked there for quite a while, they said, possibly longer than six months.
Acting on the tip, Taos Police Detective Barry Holfelder ran the vehicle's license plate and discovered it was registered to Bowman.
Taos Police Department subsequently joined an intensive and ongoing investigation in cooperation with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department to find out what happened to Bowman.
"We are actively looking for anyone who saw the car be dropped off at the Cruz Alta Condominiums or has any information regarding the car, Ms. Bowman or Mr. Perfect," Holfelder wrote in a press release.
Holfelder said he interviewed the manager of the apartment complex and learned that at least one resident stated the car was parked at the complex when they moved in on May 3, 2017, about a month after Bowman last spoke with her family.
The New Mexico Department of Public Safety may have been notified of the car earlier and may have also run the plates, Holfelder said. The exact date when that occurred, however, or whether any connection was drawn to Bowman's disappearance, Holfelder hadn't confirmed as of press time Wednesday (May 2).
With consent from Bowman's family, Holfelder searched Bowman's car this week. He stated that nothing suspicious was recovered, only some clothes and other personal belongings. Bowman's identification or purse could not be found in the Avalon.
"The vehicle had been left unlocked," Holfelder said in an interview on Wednesday, adding that several people may have been inside the vehicle since it was first left in Taos, which may complicate future forensic testing, he said.
Holfelder has impounded the car pending further investigation.
According to a missing persons notice posted by the California Department of Justice, Bowman is described as a 5-foot, 7-inch tall, 125-pound white woman with hazel-colored eyes and blonde hair. She has a tattoo of a star on her right foot.
Tips related to Bowman's disappearance can be submitted to Taos County Crime Stoppers at (575) 758-4258 or to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office at (909) 387-3695.

I am so excited to show you my daughter's latest favorite activity! I made this set of printable number activity coloring pages that double up as 3-part cards for those of you who do Montessori work at home or want to get into it.
These cards come in numbers zero to nine, with an answer key cards in all four languages as well as small cards in all 4 languages. I have included English, Spanish, French and Latin!
Learning numbers with coloring pages is so fun! All you do is print this set in black and white on regular paper and cut the cards up using a guillotine. You can print the set twice if you want to use them as 3-part cards.
Your child or children will enjoy coloring the numbers any way they want or in pattern or in the same color. Have fun with it and make them look beautiful. Once the numbers are colored, then place the cards in order (0-9) and then use the answer key to place the number name cards under the correct number for all four languages.
The way I do it is introduce one language at a time. Once session for each language will do and when introducing a new language, review the previous ones. Repetition is key with learning languages. 😉
Free Number Homeschool Printables Activity Coloring Pages
This is a fun set of number coloring pages for kids that can also be used as Montessori 3 part cards. You can print as many as you want to use at home or in the classroom. If you are making one set to use regularly and you want to color the numbers, then I suggest you print the card on cardstock and laminate the cards for durability. They will last a long longer if they are laminated with a good quality laminator.
Another thing you can do is print the cards and cut them and the laminate them as the numbers are in black and white. Then, hand the kids some dry erase markers and let them have at it! They will erase and color again and again as they practice their numbers. It will be an activity that kids will love going back to regularly.

Summary: There are 5 key areas in the job search – which include promoting yourself together with reference letters and developing a powerful professional brand – that will help you find jobs fast.
There are 5 basic steps in a job search. How you perform in most of these areas will determine the speed and also ease with you land a brand new job. Failing to boost your performance for all of these steps can dramatically lower your chances of finding work in just a reasonable time body.
Review Your Methods:
This is any time to look back over your career history and distinguish those experiences and relationships that will help you in gaining brand new employment. Job candidates can gather reference letters via previous employers. Any manager or executive you've got reported to within the last 7 years might be a valid source for just a written recommendation. When you receive a created reference, it could make your eyes visible to what your previous boss found best about you. That's information you could potentially highlight later in the job interview.
Fine Tune Your Application & Branding:
A resume that targets the main element skills and responsibilities for just a specific job position, which has a powerful summarization of your respective achievements is completely vital. It's well worthwhile to get your resume put together by a consultant who knows exactly what recruiters want in the top job choice. Your LinkedIn profile is usually an additional aspect of your respective professional branding, which boosts your believability and visibility. Double check just about any publicly viewable facts that are available through a Google search of your respective name to make certain your online profile displays you in the positive light.
Develop Your Network:
Within this economy, there's no shame in being out of work. Let everyone know that you are searching for a job. This consists of social "friends" with Facebook and professional contacts within your industry. If you're not a member of an experienced association, join one now. There's no telling who might find out about a great task opportunity. You could even attend a local pink slip party to acquire some instant deal with time with local recruiters and HUMAN RESOURCES professionals who are seeking talent. The more people you've got in your community, the better your chances of finding a very good job match.
Develop Your Interview Skills:
Interviewing is the most stressful portion of a job you are looking for. However, if your cv is strong and adequate to convince the recruiter that you're worth a phone call, you are already a substantial contender for the task. You can get ready for interviews just while you would for every other test – in case you have the right facts. For example, you need to devote your energy to successfully navigating the questions recruiters are likely to ask rather than the ones that that you are afraid they might ask. Additionally, you should know which questions you ought to ask to gain the respect of your respective interviewer and establish a good rapport.
Compete Aggressively:
This applies to every stage of your respective job search. Generally, it's about getting proactive and investigating local companies to comprehend their hiring needs. Sometimes, it's about getting decisive (but polite) in an interview instead of beating throughout the bush when you need an answer to a question. More than other things, competing means being willing to include the extra time period on preparation and follow-up. If you are actually serious about receiving work fast, spend money on your job search, CV writing, and appointment coaching resources. These services offer the benefit of helping you advertise yourself effectively without plenty of trials and problems.

Ultimate Restorations
Ultimate Restorations showcases the rescue and restoration of some of the most valuable mechanical icons of the Golden Age (1880-1940), a high point in innovation and craftsmanship. The series, hosted by Bob McNeil, tells the spellbinding stories behind eight of American history's greatest historical and engineering treasures — the world's largest pipe organ; a surviving 1920s fire engine; a "fish car" designed to transport live fish by train; a priceless carousel; a World War II spy plane; one of the first U.S. yachts to round Cape Horn and a famous steam locomotive. The passionate restorers and committed craftspeople discuss the challenges associated with reviving these massive icons to their original glory: moving huge pieces of equipment, salvaging from sea-floor beds, searching for rare parts, and dealing with complicated mechanical systems.
Bob McNeil
Bob McNeil left behind his day job as a respected businessman in the biotech industry to become an expert restorer, woodworker and historian. A world-class sailor, Bob has spearheaded the restorations of the 1901 steam yacht "Cangarda" and the historic 1885 schooner "Coronet," and now brings his expertise and passion to Ultimate Restorations.
Cangarda: The Last American Steam Yacht
The last existing American stream yacht was nothing more than an eyesore stuck in the mud of the Boston harbor until Bob McNeil came to its rescue. His four-year restoration of the 136-foot vessel revives old construction techniques alongside new technologies with the help of the colorful crew of Rutherford's Boat Shop in San Francisco. After 112 years and more than a few setbacks, the Cangarda finally sails again.
The Lysander: Canada's Unsung Hero
Of the 3,000 Lysander airplanes built in World War II, only three have survived, even though it was the first airplane in the war to shoot down a bomber. At the Vintage Wings Museum in Ottowa, Canada, restorers reconstruct this priceless spy plane from the fabric-covered fuselage to the machine guns in its wheel spats so it can once again demonstrate the unique landing and take-off capabilities that saved hundreds of lives.
The Sierra #3 Locomotive: A Star Is Reborn
A group of passionate restorers resurrect one of the oldest operating steam locomotives in the United States, built in 1891 in New Jersey and made famous in movies like High Noon and Rawhide. Remaining true to the original's complex engineering and construction requires incredible precision and patience, and the team struggles to complete the project before its scheduled Fourth of July debut.
Ahrens Fox: The Kansas City Treasure
Once considered the Rolls Royce of fire engines, the Ahrens Fox was a shining emblem of 1920s civic pride in Kansas City, a rolling work of art that could shoot water to the top of a 40-story building. Now just a rusty relic, a surviving Ahrens Fox challenges volunteer firefighter Doug Klink and his crew to keep their senses of humor as they piece the massive vehicle back together from the drive shaft to the gold leaf detailing.
The Midmer-Losh: The World's Largest Pipe Organ
Built in Atlantic City in 1929, the Midmer-Losh still holds the title as the world's largest musical instrument, as well as the world's most complicated mechanical system. With over 33,000 pipes, and blowers requiring hundreds of horsepower, this Goliath requires an involved 10-million-dollar restoration and takes viewers back to an era unequaled in design and craftsmanship.
Badger #2: The Last Remaining Fish Car
During the Depression of 1911, bringing fingerling fish from the East Coast to stock Midwest lakes as a food source was big business. Railroad cars known as "fish cars" contained water tanks for the small fish and elegant Victorian accommodations for the crew. All of these rare cars have disappeared except the Badger #2. Join a Wisconsin team for a complex restoration and a glimpse into a rarely-seen chapter of U.S. history.
The Illions Supreme Carousel: A Rare Masterpiece
The Illions Supreme was once the largest and most spectacular carousel from renowned master carver Marcus Charles Illions, with individual horses valued in the millions today. Incredibly, its provenance faded away under weather and cheap paint and it languished in storage for almost 60 years. Piecing it back together requires engineers and artists alike, but the results are breathtaking.
The Schooner Coronet: Racing into History
Built in 1885, the Coronet sailed to fame as a trans-Atlantic race winner and one of the first U.S. yachts to round Cape Horn and circumnavigate the globe. Its design is credited with forever changing U.S. commercial ship standards. This intricate restoration will take the team from the jungles of Guatemala to the harbor at St. Tropez, but the schooner finally regains its original grace, complete with a custom Steinway piano.

The host country's team, Russia, is playing extremely well in the World Cup. Here is an interesting World Cup fact: it turns out soccer players do not like the idea of getting poisoned to death.
A Star is Bored
Ahead of the remake with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, I saw "A Star is Born," 1976 version with Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand.
Like Dan Jenkin's great football book made into an awful movie, "Semi-Tough," this movie is screaming for a remake. And both have Kris Kristofferson in them. (KK's acting isn't awful. He just plays himself and himself is genuinely cool)
Full disclosure, I had a girlfriend early in college who adored this movie, so I sort of had a soft spot for it. And, while I have never been a fan of Barbra Streisand, way too over-the-top corny for me, Kris Kristofferson is legit cool. (Cannot tell you how many times she laughed at Babs's black backup singers being called the Oreos)
Truth be told, I am sort of disappointed in our gay brothers who worship Babs. The gay fellas have always been the harbingers of style for us cloddish straight men, and, unless they like Babs ironically, she seems to me to be so plastic, overwrought and phony. Like Cher, but, from what I hear, at least Cher is nice to people.
This was the first movie where I read about how the stars hated each other. You can see it in the movie. One review put it well when they said you can see the fingerprints of Barbra Streisand's and her hairdresser, Jon Peter's megalomania all over this movie. Kris Kristofferson looks bored. (Get it? A star is bored? Oh, that is clever)
There are scenes when Kristofferson is so coked-up, his mouth moves independently like a goldfish looking for food. This guy, KK, is a smart dude. He was a Rhodes scholar in English. Went on to fly helicopters in the Army. KK proves that he is brilliant by the fact that he had an amazing singing career despite one little tiny glitch: he cannot sing.
In the vein of one of his coke buddies, Jack Nicholson, KK is good at playing himself. He is charming and charismatic and good looking and fit.
Here is a brilliant insight: Barbra Streisand is a great singer. But, like Cher, I cannot stand her singing. So corny. It does not help that everyone describes her as a world-class feckless C. Even the great comedy writer, Bruce Vilanche, who, like many gay men, worship Babs, described in detail what a difficult, cheap tight-ass she is.
In interviews, both Robert Redford and KK were forthcoming in their dislike of Barbra Streisand's diva behavior. She has probably fired more people than anyone in Hollywood.
A casino in Las Vegas will not let Babs through their doors because she threw such a fit at a $2,000 minimum table when she bet $5 and thought they were supposed to pay her $2,000.
Babs' concert scenes are so disco/'70's/ polyester/Vegas/bad-perm/cocaine-ridden awful they are comical. One cannot keep one's eyes off of Babs' bad perm. You have to wonder if the perm was to deflect attention from her Santa Monica Pier-sized nose. If I brought my Goldendoodle, Wally, to his groomer, Meg, with his fur in that condition without brushing him out, Meg would never speak to me again.
Believe me, I remember that this was the era of the fern bar and driftwood sculptures and Farah-dos and rayon and plush synthetic fabrics. And avocado green shag carpets. And popcorn ceilings. And Gremlins. Pet rocks. Bell-bottoms.
In short, everything awful.
Now to the worst part of the movie.
Kris Kristofferson cannot sing. And I do not mean he is a bad singer. What I mean is he cannot sing. Like Stevie Wonder cannot drive.
Kris Kristofferson wrote some great songs. "Me & Bobby McGee" immortalized by the great Janis Joplin is one of them.
Nobody loves the singers who would never make it on "American Idol" more than me. Tom Waits's cigarette-charred mumble, Bob Dylan's nasal whine. Neil Young's off-pitch stoned high warble. Bruce Springsteen's scratchy yell. Rod Stewart's raspy bark. Joe Cocker's drunken laryngitis shout.
If someone were to - and I genuinely hope this never happens - inject air from a bike pump into my aforementioned Goldendoodle Wally's butt, the resultant fart would sound better than Kris Kristofferson singing. My word, how much cocaine were people doing in the '70's that allowed this guy to have a singing career?
You cannot say Kristofferson is off-key because he can only sing in one note. That is his range. One note. And that note is the sound of a chainsaw cutting through aluminum siding.
How did this guy go on to have an amazing music career? He has a mansion in Malibu and one in Maui. He is worth $160 million. Yes, he did help start the outlaw movement in country rock.
Kris Kristofferson was a human argument that if you were straight, fairly good looking and liked to snort a lot of cocaine, you could have a legendary music and movie career in the 70's. Sam Peckinpah and Jon Peters put him in movie after movie because they liked partying with the guy.
There is an homage to Waylon Jennings in the concert scene with Kris Kristofferson. When I was at UCSB in 1980, I got hired to be security at the Santa Barbara County Bowl for a Waylon Jennings concert. Waylon Jennings gave backstage passes to Hell's Angels motorcycle gang in exchange for the vast amount of pharmaceutical cocaine they supplied him.
The Hell's Angels came roaring up the hill to the venue in single file line of about 20 bikes was one of the most terrifying and impressive displays I have ever seen. In the "ASIB" movie, a biker kisses Kristofferson hard on the mouth. That also rings true. Here is a wild and crazy secret of Hell's Angels: Many of them were gay. Gay in a macho, S&M, tattoo way.
My overall impression was the Hell's Angels like to zig when everyone else zagged, but they were good guys. Unless you crossed them, and then their gay sado-masochism kicked in and they loved beating the crap out of guys.
But, as fascinating as the Hell's Angels are, I digress.
"A Star is Born" is a great story that desperately needs a remake, like "Semi-Tough." Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper will hit it out of the park.
Watch it for me and tell me if I am wrong about Kris Kristofferson's singing.
The Biggest A-Hole
This is not bald-bashing, there is nothing wrong with going bald. No, this is when a guy grows out his hair on one side to sweep it over his bald spot and then says to himself,
"That should fool them."
When that happens, something dies in their soul.
Now before you think this is all Trump bashing, the fifth combover asshole I know is a die-hard liberal.
People bash Trump lovers as intolerant and judgmental. They have nothing on this arrogant douchebag. If you do not agree with all of his views, he considers you mentally deficient.
One time we discussed Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine." Now I happen to be all-in on gun control. But I hate Michael Moore because he is a bully and liar. (Much like someone else we could name) But because Moore is liberal and I hate Moore, this ass-wipe has me labeled as a far right-wing tea-bagger.
He also happens to be the world's worst bass player. Now, I might have forgiven his incredible political intolerance and insufferable arrogance.
But there is no forgiving a horrible, horrible bass player.
Somebody who simply does not know how to play the bass would be vastly better than him because they could slap around at it and occasionally hit the right notes at the right rhythm.
No, this guy thinks he knows how to play, so he always plays the worst notes at the exact worst times. He once admitted, afterward, he played an entire other song than the song we had just played.
How is that possible?
Instead of listening to the song, he just robotically plays the notes he memorizes. And the result is soulless, metallic, stilted and awful.
And his wife is even more annoying.

Poke me.
Brenton is mowing our lawn with gas I bought in a milk jug and it smells good and it smells like summer. The setting sun tonight was hot pink and orange and hot sex and I liked it.
I think I'm down to about a 50% chance of survival every time I get into my car. There are noises and groanings and pleas for automobile euthanasia.
Ray Romano in his Pulitzer-winning comedy book says you're getting old if you can name two anti-depressants other than Prozac. Strike One. Or, he says, if you can't remember if you've shampooed in the morning. Strike two. Today I didn't even stop and think about it, so sure was I that I hadn't washed my hair yet. Turns out I had. I hate wasting shampoo because there are so many starving children in Africa and our nation is at war and I like to do my part to help out. Like not eat meat on Wednesdays and ration my hair products. For the troops.
I want to be on a trampoline by a pool right now and feel young and vibrant and nineteen.
