DEP, Cabot argue over Dimock water contamination
The state Department of Environmental Protection and Cabot Oil and Gas Corp. traded barbs Tuesday about the scope, cause and solution for methane contamination in 18 residential water wells in Dimock Township.
The state agency and the natural gas drilling company have been arguing via press releases and advertisements since late last month when DEP announced that Pennsylvania American Water Co. will construct a new, 5.5-mile water main from its Lake Montrose treatment plant to provide water to the affected families, and Cabot would be made to pick up the tab.
"DEP was forced to take action since Cabot continues to deny responsibility for the contamination, despite overwhelming evidence of its responsibility," DEP Secretary John Hanger said in a letter released widely on Tuesday and circulated over the weekend in Susquehanna County.
"Since that announcement was made, Cabot has launched a public relations campaign and much misinformation has been brought forth concerning who will be party to that solution and who will end up paying for it."
In a press release also sent Tuesday, Cabot spokesman George Stark said that water tests performed by Cabot and DEP showed only four of the 18 water wells have methane at levels exceeding the 28 milligrams per liter limit suggested by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining. He also said the company, which maintains it did not cause the methane contamination, has provided "substantial and persuasive proof that methane gas has been present in water wells in and around the Dimock area for generations."
Hanger said in an interview Tuesday that Cabot "unfortunately" continues to deny responsibility and the company's data "must be examined through that prism."
The state's environmental oversight agency determined that excessive pressures and faulty casings in 14 of Cabot's natural gas wells caused methane from a rock layer above the Marcellus Shale to seep into residential water supplies.
The state's evidence includes video recordings of gas bubbling between the casing in Cabot's wells and high pressure readings "that could only exist in wells that are leaking," as well as isotopic analysis – a form of chemical "fingerprinting" – that matched the gas found in five homes to the gas leaking from nearby Cabot wells.
Hanger said DEP testing since April has shown as many as 18 affected supplies. DEP will continue water tests until the Nov. 1 deadline for Cabot to rid the water of gas.
"We, of course, would be delighted, as the families would be, if in fact some of the gas went away," he said. "We have seen declines at some properties, but not at all. We'll do some more testing and frankly we'll make our own judgments based on our own data."
In the open letter to Susquehanna County residents, Hanger said PENNVEST, a state agency which finances water and sewer projects, will be asked to provide the $11.8 million for the water line project, and then the state will "aggressively seek to recover the cost of the project from Cabot."
"No one in Dimock or Susquehanna County will pay for it and local taxes will not be increased as the result of it," he said.
Besides the affected residents, others who live on Route 29 between Montrose and Dimock will have the option to tap into the water line if they choose, Hanger said, adding that the line should boost the value of homes and businesses nearby.
Stark called the project an "unwarranted burden on the taxpayers of Pennsylvania."
"Given the science and our findings, we question how the secretary could spend the 12 million of taxpayer dollars," he said in an interview. "He's going to sue us to get it back. I'm not certain that a court will find in favor of the commonwealth."
The public feud between Cabot and DEP was joined by a group of Susquehanna County residents and businesses called Enough, Already! last week, when the group bought an ad in the Mulligan's Shopping Guide criticizing the waterline as a "terrible, big government decision" that is "expensive and unnecessary."
The group asks residents to sign petitions, hosted at eight area businesses, telling PENNVEST to deny an application by DEP to fund the line.
Many of Cabot's positions were echoed in the ad, which Cabot and members of Enough, Already! said the company did not place, write or pay for.

The essence of Personal Leadership is self-knowledge. As a coach, it is always good to practice what you preach. That is why I decided to train and swim a 6K freestyle race, as to set a goal and to train hard for a period of eight months. It was a tough challenge. I learned a lot about my coaching methods and myself. That is why I repeated it in 2016 with a quarter triathlon and 2018 with half a marathon.
In 2014 I decided to take a sabbatical for a year. I took the opportunity to step back and review my life. How do I feel? Is this what I want? Do I want to make changes? I sailed twenty thousand miles from Barcelona to Brisbane, Australia. It has been a great adventure and challenging journey. If you are interested to read more about my (mental) experiences, go to the King's Legend website. I am currently writing a book about this trip and my journey.
Connection, values and beliefs. This is the heart of the matter. It motivates and steers you in life, in your (sports) career. It makes you tick. It answers questions such as why me? What is my strength? What do I stand for? What is my course in life? Based on the answers, you can define your own route to leadership.
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator ® are one of the tools I use. MBTI® is based on Jung's theory of personality types and their preferred lifestyle. I use it in coaching through a questionnaire and coaching sessions. Get to know yourself better; get to know your type. To give you a short impression, you can do the simplified test on this site. Other elements of my coaching toolbox are: Neurolinguistic Programming, Transactional Analyses and Family/Organization Constellations.

A highly publicized scandal rocked Dalhousie University in December 2014 when some of the contents of the all-male "Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen" Facebook page were made public. Contents included: a poll by one fourth-year male dentistry student asking his male colleagues which of their female peers they would "hate fuck"; an invitation from the same student to vote on which of their peers they would like to "sport fuck"; a photo of a bikini-clad woman captioned "bang until stress is relieved or unconscious (girl)" followed by the comment "Can you tell me what chloroform smells like?"; a post defining "penis" as "the tool used to wean and convert lesbians and virgins into useful, productive members of society"; and one member's comment on the penis definition post saying "by productive I'm assuming you mean it inspires them to become chefs, housekeepers, babysitters, etc." (Task Force Report, pp. 5-7).
Unmistakably — and whilst the exact degree of requisite expertise remains to be determined — judges must possess some understanding of the fundamental notions of technology in order to grasp the related issues permeating cases and to adequately filter and assess evidence. As well, as online communication itself increasingly forms the subject of legal dispute, judges best acquire the aptitude for understanding not only by gaining some facility with (fundamental) technical aspects of the digital revolution but also through experiencing Internet culture. They are at the same time invited to avoid excessive reliance on and disclosure to support staff or 'experts', which can be problematic and threaten their independence to a certain degree.
Retenir l'attention du public, voilà le mot d'ordre de toute entreprise qui cherche une clientèle, de tout artiste qui veut faire apprécier son art. Désormais, pour accroître la visibilité d'une compagnie ou d'une personne, les réseaux sociaux sont des incontournables. Tous, entreprises, artistes, célébrités, gagnent à être présents sur les réseaux et les plateformes, qui se multiplient : YouTube, Facebook, Google +, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo, Hotmail, pour ne nommer que les principaux. En certains cas, ce sont les recommandations des utilisateurs dans les réseaux sociaux, qui ont l'impact le plus grand sur la popularité d'un œuvre, d'un produit ou d'un service. Certains artistes d'ailleurs décident de s'occuper eux-mêmes de leur publicité, en devenant leur propre producteur et animateur radio sur les réseaux sociaux; finie la dépendance aux méga-entreprises de l'industrie culturelle.

The inimitable G.H.L. Fridman stood front and centre at the podium, a little man with a big British accent and all pomp and circumstance of a royal coronation.

I berate myself in that voice, the rough authoritarian self-despiser: Don't be an ass [by which I mean, a silly-ass jackass like somebody on the TV show of the same name] and play the game of trying to meet someone. It's a game that some playas will freak at you for calling a game. Game?! One of them berated me because it was enjoyable to express rage at a bad week by making me a punching bag, sure told me off right good, and if I care that you care then it's your victory, a suicide troll, a deep game. I'm supposed to take you seriously? In all this noise? You ain't signal bitch, fuck outa here with that sheeeyit. Fuck all y'all.
That game isn't the whole world, I'm mercifully distracted for a minute by watching my friend's kids find a metal chest with their magnesis ability in the river of the Hyrule forest. I'm watching them play Zelda, eyeing the little yamaha keyboard. I wanna play music, participate in some way, but I'm paranoid, with a flush palette bloating out against the corneas. I'm not entirely free of the fear of dizzy spells, not quite feeling back to active yet, still pacified, fried. Almonds. Pax Canadiana. It's hard to do fragments. But some people do well with that. Hats off to all y'all. Not fuck all y'all, tapada marnin tooya! Tula lula rula!
Nobody wants me lucky charms! I say no body instead of no one, cause "one" sounds like a free-floating intellect, disembodied, sterile, omnipotent in cerebral realms I can't navigate but impotent in flesh - and "body" emphasizes the corporeal warm-blooded source of energy I feel so empty of, free from. I don't want that kind of freedom, want a bond instead, deep desire for the prison of devotion that is a bond to a body with a mind, a package to love, some body to love, like Freddie sang of, the feeling from which great songs are born, with hackneyed lyrics but rhapsodic voice.
There's a theoretical object of theoretical love, impersonal, because I don't want to describe how personal it gets sometimes in this mind o' mine, constrained online, in the infinitesimally niche way I'm online. It's still mostly empty, the substance is like a proton in a mega-parsec sized cube of vacuum. It's a cube, not a sphere, cause I'm Aristotlean, not Platonic, I don't do spheres, cubes are convenient for this right-angled human-brain, I like to visualize it as a room of space, with the surface that is the "floor", a direction, orienting, which might be arbitrary from the perspective of a proton, or the being looking in at it from the outside. I'm not platonic, I'm not fiending for some abstract ideal, I want something real.
Coming back to "don't be an ass!", the voice is sheriff droogan, dragon, drogan, whatever it is, once chief of the Santa Monica PD, now kind of a big deal in Randall Flagg's America. He's scolding the "Rat Man" for impulsively pumping his shotgun and pointing it at the prisoners in the prison truck as it drives through the psycho mob toward the dismemberment machines in the New Vegas town square. "Don't be an ass!" Dragen growls with a withering contempt so potent it could describe my exasperation at myself for trying, once again, to find love, and the latest petty setback that scatters the small heap of self worth I've miraculously salvaged once again, ephemeral salvage washed away, as before, rinse and repeat. Self pity. Cop to that, cause the man who despises himself still respects himself as he who despises. Such romantic metaphors, to me they are, which is all that matters, to me, such purple prose for what purpose? Purple-vein dick jokes, really. No dagger in my heart, just a catheter in my cock, blocked.
Don't be an ass, Drogan says, and don't you dare kill the prisoners for being smart asses for God, before Flagg has MC'd their public torture and execution. You'd be like that guy who was supposed to shoot the judge, but for fuck's sake preserve the head so it can be recognized when it's air dropped over the God Squad in Boulder. And he couldn't even do that. So at least get this show right, don't fuck it up for Drogan. Torture and executing kinda blend together when some body is being drawn and quartered. Farmer John's gonna think about his mother as he's going out in the most horrific way one can imagine.
When I'm not an ass I get shit done, dunno now if it's worth doing. When values are up for grabs, it gets to be a pretty freaky eigenstate. The Eigenstate is the freeway that connects to hidden variables all over the multiverse, possibilities and timelines, fractal fractures, infinitely progressing possibilities in logarithmically increasing smallness of gradation. Things are different than ten years ago, I feel sheepish now talking like that and using such words, when I used to take myself more seriously. Gotta put the sarcastic tag on it now like an FDA label. May contain nuts known to the state of California to cause paranoia, and delusion. But, entertaining delusion, monetizable possibly if you only lean a little bit on the multiverse, the slimmest bit is a good bet, monetize delusion to stay in purchasing power for musical doohickeys. A Whoopi Goldberg contraption.

Many products and brands that are well known now had their humble start at a call center telemarketing office. That's because the retail launch of any product is a very risky one that has little room for error and a wide percent of failure; it's a tough market that has little remuneration. As a result of these ominous biding statistics, most companies prefer to "test" their new products using a direct form of marketing offered by call center telemarketing. All things considered, it's a rather cost effective method of knowing how consumers will respond to any brand or consideration, before dumping an entire budget into a project that could fail. So does outsourcing call center telemarketing make sense? We'll explore further to find out.
Reducing Your Operational Costs
Operational costs are interrelated and directly correlated to the profit margins (and success) of any product line. With call center telemarketing, an entity can vastly cut down on the associated overhead operational costs while reaping in a much more substantial profit margin. Fewer costs and higher profits are generally a win-win scenario for any business.
Premium Outsource Partners Provide Premium Results
Your call center telemarketing campaign assuredly will only be as successful as the pros who are implementing it. That's why many companies are very wary of whom they choose to partner with for their campaign. However, there are a select few premium call center telemarketing services providers that have proven track records of rampant and ongoing successes with sales campaigns of all types.
Add More Reps
When outsourcing with a call center telemarketing service, it's a decision that can up sales. That's because with lower costs, companies can choose to add more reps. This means that with outsourcing they could double their reps on the phones; as compared to the fewer reps they could afford with a domestic services provider.
Up Your Sales Campaign
Speaking of adding more reps, call center telemarketing can seriously up your sales campaign. That's because these experienced veterans have unique strategies they invoke that come from years of experience in this field. They know the best methods of implementing and executing your plan to perfection. The key goal is to net you profits; it's a win-win situation where you each help each other with your desired successes.
Generate More Profits
Obviously, the primary objective of any sales call center telemarketing plan is to generate profits. The more calls that you can have being made, the more responses and sales that will follow as a result. With an outsourced call center telemarketing service, you can afford to hire more reps—which means more calls and ultimately: increased sales and profits.

MANCHESTER – Development continued to be a major concern among residents. This is reflected in articles that have to do with utilities and plans for construction. Below are the some of the most biggest stories of 2017:
Controversial Gas Pipeline
The Pinelands Commission approved the Southern Reliability Link in September. This is a gas line that would join up at a source in Chesterfield and head through various towns for 30 miles. It would end in Manchester. Environmentalists protested about how dangerous and unnecessary they said the pipeline would be. They also believed it would lead to more development in the area, and that the claim of it being for reliability was false.
Those in favor of the pipeline said it would provide another source of gas for the area (reliability), and would be necessary in case of a disaster or incident that damaged the existing pipeline.
Walmart Gave Up On New Store
Walmart officials said in an emailed statement that "after consideration of several business factors, we have made the difficult decision not to move forward with building another Walmart store in Toms River."
The property borders Toms River and Manchester, so both towns had to sign off on it. The plan was originally heard in 2004.
Jaylin Holdings, the name of the developing company formed by Jay and Linda Grunin, originally proposed a main store of 203,091 square feet, with a 19,884 square-foot garden center and 1,049 parking spaces. In 2010, the plan was scaled down to 189,797 square feet of retail space, a 5,703 square-foot garden center and 833 parking spaces.
Seen as a victory by environmentalists, due to the impact it would have on nearby habitats, officials from both towns would have welcomed the added tax ratable.
Heritage Pitch
The owner of the Heritage Minerals tract, Hovsons, Inc., met with Manchester officials in August with a plan for more homes on the former mining site. The settlement more than a decade ago was for 2,200 homes. They wanted more in this recent round, but the township's officials said no to that plan.
Opioid Epidemic
Heroin, often mixed with fentanyl, has become an epidemic in Ocean County. Hundreds of people have died of overdoses, and hundreds more have had their lives saved by Narcan sprays administered by first responders.
Local police have combatted the problem by increasing drug education in schools and cracking down even harder on dealers.
They are also differentiating between the crimes of dealing drugs and possessing drugs. Those who are caught up in addiction are being given another chance by coming into certain police departments and being evaluated for free rehab. They turn in all their drugs and they don't face any charges under the Blue HART (Heroin Addiction Recovery Treatment) program. Brick, Manchester, Stafford, Lacey, and Ocean Gate are now part of this program.
The root cause to the epidemic is addiction to prescription painkillers, police said. That's why there are places to drop off unused medications for the police to burn and keep it out of the hands of addicts. Also, Toms River, Brick and Lacey have joined a lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies to recoup costs from dealing with this epidemic, and to force those companies to change the way they market their medicines to everyone.
Performing Arts Academy
A new Performing Arts Academy building for the Ocean County Vocational-Technical School was announced. Currently, the Performing Arts Academy is housed in Hangar 1 of the Joint Base-McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst. Its lease will be expiring soon. Additionally, with added security regulations, parents and staff have said that location is not as convenient as it once was.
Students will select from four majors: theater, vocal, dance and audio engineering. This would be in addition to its academic curriculum. The 60,000-square-foot building is expected to open in 2019. It will be located on the campus of Ocean County College. The goal is to create a continuity of education, so that OCC classes can be taught to high school students. The high school and the college students would be able to share facilities, although not at the same time.
The Ocean County Freeholders created a $27 million bond to pay for the school. They committed $8 million of its total cost. The state of New Jersey will be paying 40 percent of the project, or $10.6 million. The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation has pledged $8 million.

We're all familiar with riddle, "What's black and white and read all over?" The answer may be newspaper, but this could easily describe the paper housed in many a tax and accounting office.
Despite the fact that we lead predominantly digital lives, physical paper still looms large. From copies and print-outs to brochures and catalogs, it quickly adds up. In fact, the average person in the U.S. goes through an estimated 10,000 sheets of paper.
10,000 sheets of paper = one Douglas fir tree
Moving toward a paperless office, however, isn't a new trend. Instead, it's a concept with a 50-year journey behind it.
Punch Cards Give Way to Electronic Storage
The initial idea of the paperless office first emerged in the 1960s, when computers started becoming less a novelty than a necessity in many offices. Even though punch cards still were a popular technology for data processing, new generations of mainframe computers had the rudimentary ability to write and store data electronically.
The 1970s saw the arrival of desktop computers. Although large mainframe systems—which often occupied an entire room in an office— were still in use, early desktop models nonetheless harnessed comparable processing and storage power. The introduction of the 5¼-inch floppy disk in 1976—a popular format adopted by many desktop models—made portable the writing and storage of data.
The Desktop Printing Boom and the Beginnings of Cloud Storage
By the 1980s, the desktop computer was becoming mainstream in many offices. And so, too, were printers. Throughout the decade and into the 1990s, the laser printer would reduce significantly in both size and price. Not surprisingly, then, that the average workplace paper consumption doubled between 1980 and 1995.
But the 1990s also saw the beginnings of commercial cloud storage solutions. And with internet connection speeds scaling up in both speed and accessibility into 2000s, these services had a similar trajectory in improving capacity, security, and usability.
The Practical Benefits of the Paperless Office
Today, going paperless is less a hypothetical construct and much more a practical reality. For tax and accounting businesses of all sizes, making this transition may have immediate time- and cost-savings. For a deeper dive in current trends driving the paperless office, check out the post "Paperless Technology Trends for Accounting Firms".

Love's Creates #MilesofMiracles for Hospitalized Kids
From August 26 to September 30, Love's Travel Stops and Country Stores is raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across the United States.
During the annual fundraising campaign, you can donate $1, $5 or $20 for a miracle balloon or purchase a Love's and CMN Hospitals travel cup. For each travel cup purchased in Beaumont, Love's is donating $2 to support your local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, CHRISTUS Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth and Jasper Memorial.
Funds raised help kids like Chloe, who was diagnosed with leukemia at age 5. Donations provided Chloe with a port for receiving oncology treatments and a vein finder machine that helped locate her veins when she received her initial diagnosis.
After more than two years of painful treatments, Chloe is now cancer-free. She visits the hospital for lab work every three months to ensure the cancer doesn't return.
Jason, Chloe's dad, is a professional truck driver who covers routes from the west to east coast. He utilizes the services offered at Love's year-round, in part because of the help they provided his daughter and millions of other kids who have been cared for by CMN Hospitals.
Through September 30, stop in at any Love's location and make a donation to your local CMN Hospital and spread the word by sharing on social media using #MilesofMiracles.

Like many people, my reading tastes change with the season… summertime I love to take a good romance along with me to my outdoor adventures, Fall brings the need to snuggle up with a good mystery or horror story.

So I'm looking for some suggestions to add to my TBR for the next couple months!

Shooting suspect's brother arrested on probation violation
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The brother of the suspect in the Florida high school shooting is being accused of violating his probation for earlier trespassing at the school where the massacre occurred.
Palm Beach County jail records show Zachary Cruz was being held without bond Wednesday pending a transfer to neighboring Broward County for a court appearance that has not been scheduled. Cruz was arrested Tuesday on a Broward warrant.
His attorney filed a written plea of not guilty to the probation violation allegation Wednesday.
The warrant says Nikolas Cruz's 18-year-old brother was stopped last week for driving without a license and was within 25 feet (7.6 meters) of the parking lot of a Lake Worth high school. Nikolas Cruz, 19, is accused of killing 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14.
Zachary Cruz is on six months' probation after pleading no contest in March for trespassing at the Parkland school. Deputies say they found Zachary Cruz riding his skateboard on campus March 19 about two hours after school had been let out. Officials say he had been told to stay away from the school, something his attorney on the trespassing charge, Joseph Kimok, had denied.
As part of his probation, Cruz was ordered to stay at least a mile (1.6 kilometers) from Stoneman Douglas and to not enter any school unless enrolled. The brothers are both former Stoneman Douglas students.
Kimok said in an email Wednesday he has not yet been appointed to represent Cruz on the probation violation but he said he is "very concerned" about the Broward Sheriff's Office's conduct in this arrest. First, he said it is "very unusual" for a probation violation to be filed for driving without a license.
He also said Cruz is not banned from being near a school other than Stoneman Douglas.
"We all drive past and walk past schools every day and many public parks are located near schools so I'm concerned if, as it appears, BSO has violated him simply for going near a school. That just wasn't a condition we agreed to as part of his plea," Kimok said.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright said Cruz's caretaker reported him because he was driving without a license and insurance. She said violating any law is a violation of probation.
Attorneys for Nikolas Cruz have conceded he is the shooter and say he would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.
Also Wednesday, a nonprofit civil rights organization called Nexus Derechos Humanos said it is planning to file a federal lawsuit on Zachary Cruz's behalf challenging how he has been treated by law enforcement. The group claimed in an email news release that Zachary Cruz's rights are being violated and he has been subjected to "intimidation" solely because of the identity of his brother.
Associated Press writer Curt Anderson in Fort Lauderdale contributed to this story.

Information and resources for the public about Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): how to protect yourself & others and what to do if you get sick.
Anyone who has been in Victoria since 23 June onwards should now be tested for COVID-19, even if they do not have symptoms.
Patients who meet the following clinical criteria can be tested for COVID-19:
If you have other symptoms not listed above, visit the healthdirect SymptomChecker to see what you should do. Call 000 (Triple Zero) in an emergency, such as difficulty breathing.
Health Practitioners should refer to the latest COVID-19 CDNA National Guidelines for Public Health Units for a comprehensive list of case definitions.
Contact your GP about getting tested for COVID-19. Your GP clinic will ask you about your symptoms to determine if you need to be tested. If you do qualify for a test, your doctor will give you instructions on what to do, which may include remaining in your car until someone can come outside to take a swab test, or they may provide you with a referral to attend a drive-through testing clinic.
People with COVID-19 symptoms can also visit a dedicated COVID-19 clinic to be assessed and tested. You don't need to call ahead or make an appointment.
Visit the COVID-19 Clinics and Testing Centres page to find your closest dedicated COVID-19 clinic across metropolitan and regional South Australia.
After your test, go straight home and self-isolate while you wait for your test result (which you should usually get within 2 days) and:
If you have received a positive result for COVID-19, visit the Information about a positive result for COVID-19 page for information about what to do.
It is important that you follow medical advice.
If you receive a negative test result, you should still stay at home and not attend work, school or childcare until you are feeling well again.
Certain people considered to be at higher-risk (PDF 52KB) such as people who have returned from travel or been in close contact with a confirmed case will need to remain in self-isolation even if they return a negative test result.

Warner Home Video will be stomping the competition on Sept. 16 with Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack (with or without a 3D viewing option) and double-disc DVD editions of director Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, a successful rework of the Japanese-inspired post-war creation of Gojira.
The film is just shy of $200 million in domestic ticket sales (which should be reached any day now) and this mid-September Tuesday yields an ARR of 123 days.
Godzilla, a fixture in over two-dozen films since 1954, has been a "bad" monster and a "good" monster (sometimes on the "hero" side of the action simply because he seemed to be the lesser of two evils), but this time out he is clearly cast as the hero of the piece.
Ironically so, since the creation of the MUTO (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism) creatures he battles are a direct result of earlier attempts to destroy this kind-hearted and very misunderstood beast. Another nice "ironic" touch provided by filmmaker Gareth Edwards is the homage climatic battle in San Francisco, which was also the home to the 1955 finale of It Came from Beneath the Sea.
Bonus features include "MONARCH: Declassified" (a nifty three-part exposé on Godzilla and "The Legendary Godzilla" (a four-part series of featurettes that focus on behind-the-scenes action).
Also added to the release calendar this week for delivery on Nov. 11 are Blu-ray editions of director Peter Godfrey's 1945 romantic comedy hit, Christmas in Connecticut — starring Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan and Sydney Greenstreet — and the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol starring Reginald Owen and Gene Lockhart (not to be confused with VCI Entertainment's 1951 version starring Alastair Sim).

Obvious heroes get all the glory and non-obvious heroes don't even want glory, but they don't want their efforts thrown back in their face by the people they're trying to help either. What is the difference between popular heroes and those who have heroic traits but are deemed troublemakers and a hassle? I prefer infamy to fame but without doing bad deeds, you can be branded infamous without being bad ya'know.
So I wanted to post this early yesterday morning but the network keeps telling me that the router in the office has been unplugged and has apparently been doing so for the last week and a half, usually after I just connect and it works it goes off whatever time of day or night 🙄
Yesterday was:
World Leprosy Day
Season for Nonviolence
School Day of Non-violence and Peace
National Inane Answering Message Day
Leprosy was renamed Hansens Disease and contrary to popular thought it's not always contagious and if someone is treated early or cured they're nothing to be afraid of. I understand people's fears in life in general, the multitude of them and sympathise but when push comes to shove and people are too scared to help or even behave it really irritates me. The same goes for bullying and street theatre – when the govt told people to jump up and down and get attention if they saw someone in trouble it was just… But then most people will walk past you if you trip and act like homeless people don't exist except as a nuisance and perhaps the trip hazard.
However today is Backwards Day (and Inspire Your Heart with Art Day) hence I've modified it abit and won't use the examples I had for 'tentativeness and trepidation about helping others'.
Below are some episodes from shows I've liked; the first from US private detective show 'Monk' (2002-2009, 8 seasons).
I rarely bought dvds and like the other media I did get they often ended up donated since I don't like to get things that sit around taking up space. One day someone at 'home' had Monk on tv, I saw part of it and that was enough – I bought the season 1-4 boxset without knowing else anything about it or the characters – I don't even remember what episode it was. I've always been a fan of private detective shows but I've not bought them without knowing I liked them.
It turned out I really liked Adrian Monk, really liked him (I liked Tony Shalhoub as Antonio in tv shows 'Wings' and Ian in 'Stark Raving Mad' too, and in the latter you can see the makings of Monk in Ian's editor Henry). He's weighed down by so many almost paralysing phobias (an increasing list that tops the 300 mark) which take their toll in stress and physical health, he's also traumatized by the tragic loss of his wife Trudy, the one person who understood and soothed him. But he keeps fighting. He'd rather not have to face the outside world but he does it because he's compelled to solve mysteries and he wants to help people; besides he has to keep going to find Trudy's killer. There's many things I don't like about him e.g. he's not biased but his fears lead him to being prejudiced so if you're physically dirty for example it'd be hard not to be offended. He's stingy and wasteful – again mostly out of his compulsions but he has so many that it's hard for him to control although he manages both regularly and when push comes to shove plus at the cost of his own safety. It helps greatly that he has a group of people who really care about him, do their best to accommodate and protect him, and let him do his thing. They need each other and it's a sincere affection rather than using & abusing. Would they care so much if he wasn't extremely intelligent/different/special? I couldn't say. I hope so. They admit that they can't imagine why anybody else would like him but they do come to care, respect and realize he's one of the most important people in their lives if not the only one they can ultimately rely on.
Monk ('the defective detective') is nowhere near infallible and certainly needs his friends to ease the harshness of society whilst he in turn forces them to be patient and actually use a few brain cells. He's strong, not obviously but still, one of those few people who can see something through to the end no matter how hard, harrowing or bitter. He knows the meaning of true love and devotion too, he's the type of person who'll love for life; no game playing, cheating, using, lying, backstabbing, letting you down, trying it on with every person he found attractive – he'll commit and cherish. That doesn't mean I wouldn't chastise him for the complacent and unintentionally cruel way he treats his assistants Sharona and then Natalie sometimes. I feel even more sorry for his brother Ambrose who can't leave his house, lives in the sadness of their mother's death, the guilt of feeling responsible for Trudy's death and tries to help but is seen as a bother; he illustrates what Adrian could have been had he not had help/been loved/understood. Their relationship is that of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes (though Monk is a mix of Holmes, Nero Wolfe and Poirot but with the physical mannerisms/style of Columbo) but those two were arrogant, obnoxious, conceited and privileged, caring more about the challenge/status than helping and never really knowing what's it like to be one of the helpless and hapless being played like a pawn since they were doing the playing and in between Sherlock falls into his habits of drugs, violin playing, vain self-pity (rather than deserved since he's rarely the underdog, suppressed/repressed/oppressed/mocked/scorned/taken advantage of) and bemoaning crime for being too boring for his great intellect (and physical strength). They were easy heroes/popular characters and sadly preferred intelligence, talent and narcissism over being 'humane'. One who controls society and one who is a limelight icon. They towered over people, they weren't one of them and Sherlock barely knew the feeling of sympathy/empathy though he could pretend but he wasn't interested unless you could offer him something unusual or he was pushed by V.I.Ps, if it wasn't for Watson as author/narrator they may as well have been machines or psychos who just happened to be 'on the right side of the law'. I concede that at least what we saw of Sherlock wasn't a socio sh*t stirrer if that's any consolation and most people would love to have him on their side but that's exactly it, if he would condescend to be on your side, patronize you and act like you weren't important but rather the puzzle.
Anyway it's young Julie that plays the standout commendable role here, poignant because her mother Natalie who is usually righteous and fair minded is even affected to the point of being quite shameful, whereas Monk as expected gets ridiculous.
This is an episode of a US family show called 'Mr Belvedere' (1985-90, 6 seasons. The original played in Black&White films by Clifton Webb) – it's about Aids not Hansens Disease and more about how children even best friends can be affected (not that Wesley is a kind child anyway) and how different parents/authority figures behave. I've also just realized that it's the daughter in this show that isn't afraid of the issue, like Julie above. I generally like Mr Belvedere, he's not manipulative like PG Wodehouse's 'Jeeves' nor as unflappable but he was the quintessential English Butler, now he's the avuncular bachelor housekeeper who eats too much and has caustic wit (knowing the difference between wit and just being insulting, and keeps the sardonic & sarcastic between those he's close to and who find it funny/do the same). I probably wouldn't like most of the company he's kept and definitely disagree with his reverence to royalty and his taste in food but I do like his stance on most other things, and the way he tries to remedy the ills of those around him.
Last but absolutely not least is a story arc from the exceedingly interesting but not so well produced UK sci-fi show 'The Tomorrow People' (1973-79, 8 series). It highlights how people behave when they notice differences even superficial ones between them, how quickly and irrationally it can get ugly. The differences don't even have to be real – remember the 'blue eyes, brown eyes experiment'? In this story it starts by affecting the emotions of teenagers and spreads throughout the country which leads to the use of people's dreams being turned into nightmares/terrors in order to concentrate and take that energy as a power source.
There's a pet shop in town that constantly advertises its bred pets for sale (like there aren't enough rescue animals that need caring homes) and it's behaviour modifying equipment such as microchipping and shock leads. I don't go into shops with animals in them, I prefer ones that just supply pet food and items. There was one where I used to live where the animals were all behind glass cages and sometimes with nothing in them and there were chinchillas who'd just constantly try to dig their way out. When I ask the people how can you just watch that creatures frustration and fear they always just turn away. Like people who put birds in cages where they can't spread their wings and cover them with a sheet/blanket in the day time and when it's not cold. I knew one person who did that just because she thought the parrot would have a prettier voice and it didn't, FYI it had a normal parrot voice, it's not supposed to sound like a chirruping woodland bird and she couldn't understand my questioning her behaviour. Then another who I had to buy warm things, feeding, bathing things for just because she couldn't care less. How many evils can a regular do without thinking it? Heroes who put up with neglect, lack of stimuli, everyday necessities and are often still loyal to us.
Read about the hell that's been going on at Seaworld for ages e.g. the story of Lolita the whale?
Non-humans animals everywhere being treated the way we hate to be treated but treat each other too, would be balk if we found out the same was being done to us by another species? Probably depends, we don't mind living in a pyramid class structure afterall.
This doesn't mean I like all non-human animals, akin to people they have power structures, bullying, torture, rape etc. There's some studies that just make your toes curl. I think we've all just been under the reverse influence of 'the three wise monkeys' where evil exists but it's less punishing to ignore it and believe we're not part of its perpetuation.
It's A Jungle Out There – Randy Newman (Monk theme song)
It's a jungle out there,
Disorder and confusion everywhere,
No one seems to care,
Well I do.
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there,
Poison in the very air we breathe,
Do you know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's a-ma-zing.
People think I'm crazy 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention you'd be worried too,
You better pay attention,
Or this world we love so much, might. Just. Kill. You.
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!
'Cause there's a jungle out there.
It's a jungle out there.

[Audio Transcript]
Hello Dr. Janine Krause here. Today I'm going to talk about do carbohydrates cause you to have more gas? It's one of the common questions I get from my patients and this is usually a question that leads up to do I have non-beneficial bacterial in my gut producing all this gas? So let's take a step back for a second do carbohydrates cause gas? Well yes, of course. They absolutely can. Why, because beneficial bacteria that break down those carbohydrates produce methane. They produce carbon dioxide and they produce hydrogen among other things, while their fermenting carbohydrates so while they're breaking it down. So in previous videos I've talked a lot about how it's so important that you chew your food. Why, because the more you chew, the less gas that's gonna be produced in the fermentation process by these beneficial bacteria. Why, because if you give them a smaller piece to work with they don't have to cause this big inflammatory bloating process and so that's one thing you can do. Now in terms of gas and the formation of gas, the folks who are less gassy have more beneficial bacteria that can handle all of the carbohydrates that they eat. Those that have more gas have less of the proper beneficial bacteria to break down these carbohydrates. So how do you fix this? Well, one way can go about it is to take probiotics that you can't just go ahead and jump in and take probiotics on their own. You want to give them a little bit of food something called a prebiotic which is basically fuel for them. It comes in the form of apples, green bananas, plantains, coconut flour, cold potatoes, all those different things could be used as fuel for your probiotics. So essentially when you're taking a probiotic capsule. You want to pair it with a tablespoon or two of say a cold potato. You boil the potato up for 5 to 6 minutes. You put it on the ice bed to stop the cooking process. Then take it out and take the little tiny potato fingerling works good for this. You can take that with your probiotic. Now you've given your probiotic a little fuel and food for the trip and so what you doing there is training your body to be able to tolerate that beneficial bacteria and to be able to give it some fuel so they can proliferate. Basically set up its neighborhoods and families or whatever you want to call it in the digestive system. So let's go back to why would we want to eat carbohydrates, because they've kind of been demonized lately with Paleo diets and what not. Well, folks who are on the paleo, I've done it myself before on and off and I'll be honest, yes, you do have less gas. Why, because you're not consuming the carbohydrates that you would have normally consumed and now the bacteria aren't dealing with carbohydrates they are dealing with proteins and fats. So yes the paleo diet will definitely decrease your amount of gas but what you're missing out on are some of the really great benefits of the bacteria can produce for you when they're fermenting your food. Why, because beneficial bacteria can make something called butyrate. Butyrate can come from the breakdown of carbohydrates. Butyrate is rate fuel for that digestive system lining. It strengthens it up. So if you've ever heard of anyone using the term leaky gut, intestinal permeability, that separating of that intestinal lining, you can help to strengthen your digestive system and immune system if you are eating a little bit of carbohydrates and of course you've got to choose your carbohydrates wisely. I'm not talking about going and getting a box of hoho's or dingdong's. I'm talking about whole grains and things of that nature. So one of the big things I find with a lot of my patients when they're on the paleo diet is they're like yes sausage, yes meat, but they forget about the veggies and those veggies are there for a purpose and we need veggies. Why? Those guys are great fuel for the digestive system lining. In future videos I will talk a little bit more in depth about that but since our topic is more on gas and bloating today, I wanted to basically put it out there that carbs are not the enemy. It's just really how much and if your body is ready to be able to tolerate them. So I have a lot of people who can't digest veggies. Why? They get on this healthy diet this juice diet they get the veggies than their oh my gosh I have so much gas, because they don't have enough of the beneficial bacteria and so if you want to cut down on the amount of gas in your digestive system but you do want to eat carbohydrates the most important thing to do is get yourself started on probiotics go slow start with about 5 billion organisms a day and take it with a little bit of prebiotic so that's that little bit of potato starch a little bit of plantain or something of that nature and so start with that and then train yourself to be able to digest carbohydrates better and you have a lot less gas and don't forget to chew. I'm Dr. Janine Krause and thanks for watching!
Do you struggle with dry itchy skin and battle cracking skin each winter? According to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), 81 million Americans report experiencing dry, itchy or scaly skin during the winter months.
Why is the winter so brutal on our skin?
In the winter humidity drops and with that there's in increase in water loss from our skin. Healthy skin is compromised of 20-35% water yet in the winter months it can drop to 10%!
That drop in water content leaves our skin dry, itchy and extremely vulnerable as our outer layer of our skin, the stratum corneum, loses some of it's ability to protect us from viruses, bacteria and skin damage.
Our skin cells are linked together in sheets in a fashion much like tiles and mortar. The cells being the tiles and the mortar being the nutrients that you must have ample amounts of to keep that skin layer intact. The cells of outer layer of skin contain the protein keratin and substances called natural moisturizing factors (NMFs). The keratin and NMFs work together to hold water in the skin, while attracting more water to maintain skin hydration and flexibility. The only problem is that keratin and NMFs are water soluble and can become dehydrated with excess showering, swimming, hot tubbing and hand washing.
The mortar between our "skin tiles" contains nutrients that are key to preserving skin hydration. The most important of those nutrients are ceramides. Ceramides are a combination of fatty acids and cholesterol. Ceramides combine with sweat to create an acid mantle barrier to keep out bacteria and viruses while they prevent water loss from the natural moisturizing factors in the skin cells. Ceramides are responsible for maintaining smooth skin texture. Examples of ceramides are:
- When the skin is dehydrated and has and fewer fatty acids to lubricate and maintain it's protective barrier the skin is not able to exfoliate properly.
- When the skin can't exfoliate it allows for a build up of dead skin that results in an "ashy", white hazy, flaky appearance.
- When the skin is "ashy" it's vulnerable, prone to infection and will start to age faster as it's not able to heal itself at this point!
- Grab an exfoliant - I like Eminence's Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant – it's marketed for the face but works well on the entire body – after all it's all the same type of skin! Use it daily.
- Get a glycerine based, ceramide rich moisturizer or serum. I love HydroPeptide's Firming Moisturizer – it provides long lasting hydration and works to prevent wrinkles, scars, and skin discoloration that can come with friction induced injuries when the skin is dry. Note: It's marketed as a slimming cream however, it's my go to with Le Mieux's Derma Relief Serum for preventing winter itch!
I also have used Skin Active's ELS (Every Lipid Serum) with great success as well. Check it out at:
You'll want to grab a few bottles as you'll go through it faster when using it on the entire body.
You can make your own exfoliants as well as moisturizing serums.
Rice Flour Exfoliant – Grab some Organic Rice Flour – put a tablespoon in your palm and drop some water into the palm till you make a paste. Massage into the skin in a circular motion.
Moisturizing Aloe Oil:
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons aloe vera juice
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vegetable glycerin
- 5 teaspoons jojoba oil (carrot seeds oil is great here too)
- 30 drops lavender oil or other essential oils (optional)
- Put all of your ingredients in your blender and blend on low for just a couple of seconds. You can also place the ingredients in a glass jar and give it a good shake.
- Place the mixture in a glass jar and store in the fridge. Give the jar a good shake before each application.
Keeps in the fridge for a few weeks.
Daily exfoliation
Twice daily application of the moisturizer, oil or serum of your choice
Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day
Get in good fats into your diet to help with your body's reserves of fatty acids for the skin cells – I add in 4 tbsp of expeller pressed olive, unrefined coconut or avocado oil daily into dressings, cook with it and drizzle it over veggies from November to March.
Itching and bumps? Add in carrot seed oil to your daily regimen or consider using Say Yes to Carrots Moisturizer in addition to one of the ceramide rich options above.
Consider going low histamine for a while as histamines are proteins that can increase itching in the body. Here's a list of all the high histamine foods – avoid these for a month or at the least try not to eat more than one of the items on the list in a day and see how the skin responds.
Histamine-Rich Foods (including fermented foods):
- Alcoholic beverages, especially beer and wine.
- Anchovies
- Avocados
- Cheeses, especially aged or fermented cheese, such as parmesan, blue and Roquefort.
- Cider and home-made root beer.
- Dried fruits such as apricots, dates, prunes, figs and raisins (you may be able to eat these fruits - without reaction - if the fruit is thoroughly washed).
- Eggplant
- Fermented foods, such as pickled or smoked meats, sauerkraut, etc.
- Mackerel
- Mushrooms
- Processed meats - sausage, hot dogs, salami, etc.
- Sardines
- Smoked fish - herring, sardines, etc.
- Sour cream, sour milk, buttermilk, yogurt - especially if not fresh.
- Soured breads, such as pumpernickel, coffee cakes and other foods made with large amounts of yeast.
- Spinach, tomatoes
- Vinegar or vinegar-containing foods, such as mayonnaise, salad dressing, ketchup, chili sauce, pickles, pickled beets, relishes, olives.
- Yogurt
Histamine-Releasing Foods:
- Alcohol
- Bananas
- Chocolate
- Eggs
- Fish
- Milk
- Papayas
- Pineapple
- Shellfish
- Strawberries
- Tomatoes

Queen of the Bikinis
If you are anything like me, then the mere mention of the word 'bikini' sends a cold shudder down your spine and is enough to have you praying for those Winter months to come on round. But having caught sight of Mrs Rooney on her 100th holiday of 2011 in Barbados; parading her womanly figure around in a stunning array of beachwear, I decided to turn the other cheek and make it my mission to pack as many itsy witsy bikini's, cool kaftans, flippin' fabulous flip flops and sassy swim suits in to my suitcase; I won't be satisfied unless I have to climb on it to close it.
But anyone can swagger in to the High Street and pick up a copy cat look from a celeb…
Forget French Connection, and regret to inform River Island that you will be looking for something a little more individual to display your womanly goodness in this Summer. So step forward up and coming designers Anna Paola, with her 'Paolita' collection, and Louise Sandberg, displaying her stunning range of kaftans inspired by St Tropez and St Barths; for ultimate pool side glamour.
Anna launched her collection in May 2010, and has showcased her talent at London Fashion Week's boudoir show, as well as having Hussein Chalayan and the late Alexander McQueen as former employers. It is her aim to make all women feel comfy and sexy on the beach; a place most feel awkward and exposed. Anna says "In my eyes, the world is vibrant and animated by 'characters' and 'fantasy.' Clothing is the costume in which we choose to act-out our part." With their quirky yet practical designs, there's in need to impersonate your favourite celebrity; start setting a trend of your own.
Louise Sandberg
Louise is an up and coming designer of beachwear and kaftans. She has a stunning pop up showroom in Battersea, which assists customers with any Summer wardrobe problems, via an appointment only system. There are only small quantities of each design; meaning you can look fabulous and give Lady GaGa a run for her money in the orginality stakes.
Log on to www.louisesandberg.com to book your personalised experience and meet the lovely lady herself!
See you on the beach fashionistas; I'll be the one shaking the sand from my bikini bottoms, but looking fahbulous while doing it. Remember, anything Mrs Rooney can do, we can do better!

NLS user since 2001
The NLS data has enabled learning about the nature of measurement error in schooling by exploiting a clever survey design that asked individuals their own schooling level as well as the schooling attainment of the individual's sibling. The result is having two reports for schooling that can be employed to statistically test a number of different models of measurement error (Flores-Lagunes and Light, Contributions to Economic Analysis & Policy, 2006).
Another interesting feature of the NLS data has allowed learning about the nature of the labor market returns to attaining educational degrees. One feature in NLS is the availability of both schooling attainment (years of schooling) and educational degrees attained by sample individuals, which allows estimating the returns to credentials above and beyond the years spent in school. Based on that NLS feature, we learned that the years of schooling is negatively correlated with ability for degree earners—the more able graduate the fastest. Conversely, the years of schooling is positively correlated with ability for non-degree earners (dropouts) because the most able benefit from increased years spent in school (Flores-Lagunes and Light, Journal of Human Resources, 2010).
The NLS data have several noteworthy features that allowed me to refine the measurement of important variables and attain special insights in my research. Examples of these features are given in the answer to the previous question: availability of self- and sibling-reported schooling attainment, and the availability of schooling attainment and educational credentials earned. Other noteworthy features that are extremely useful but easy to overlook are the longitudinal nature of the survey and the availability of a measure of actual labor market experience. These are just examples of the may interesting features of the data produced by the NLS!
