The disinformation coming from the Obama administration is unrelenting.
CMS has released Obamacare’s open enrollment numbers through 12/15/14.
On December 15,2014 all of last years enrollees who did not change their health plan or did not discontinued their plan were automatically re-enrolled for 2015.
Enrollment by state can be studied in the following link.
The Obama Administration bragged with the following statement.
The number of people enrolling or re-enrolling last week was considerably higher than in previous weeks. Week one saw 500,000 enrollees, week two had 300,000 and week three saw 600,000 sign up through HealthCare.gov.
Week four saw 850,000 people enrolling or re-enrolling.
The cumulative estimate of people needed to sign up was 4.7 million through 12/15/14. The sign up number included people who were automatically re- enrolled with the same insurance policy they bought last year. This year’s premiums and deductibles will be higher that last year’s premiums in most cases.
The Obama administration picked up 1 million enrollees for the week as a result of the automatic re-enrollment. These enrollees have been warned that they will be paying a higher premium than if they searched for a different plan by a different insurance carrier.
Only 3.4 million sign ups were confirmed to receive healthcare coverage by January 1,2015.
This is only seventy percent (70%) of the expected enrollment through 12/15/14. The enrollment had been extended previously to February 15, 2015.
CMS told us that last year 8 million were enrolled. The number was modified to 7.2 million and then changed to 6.7 million as 400,000 were not enrolled in healthcare but bought dental care insurance.
We were never told that 65% of the enrollees received federal subsidies in the traditional media. How many of those people who received subsidies subsequently lost their subsidy because the IRS could not confirm their reported income?
The next critical question is how many of the people who lost their subsidy dropped their insurance because they could not afford the premiums and deductibles.
How many people that enrolled have preexisting illnesses? How many of the people who enrolled can pay the high deductibles and copays?
How many people in the individual market can afford to pay the insurance premiums with pre-tax dollars?
Whatever the premium is in the individual market the enrollee has to have twice as much disposable income to pay the premium because the premium is not tax deductible.
Healthcare insurance premiums are tax deductible to employers in the employer group markets.
How many taxpayers know that the Obama administration is subsidizing the healthcare insurance industry so the industry cannot loss money if the healthcare insurance is bought through Obamacare?
The original goal for enrollment for 2015 was 13.5 million. It was lowered to 12 million and now 9 million by the time the enrollment started. If 6.7 million were originally enrolled the increase in new enrollment will only be 2.3 million.
What happened to all the millions of people who lost insurance through their employer because they were shifted to part-time work?
It seems that Obamacare is unattractive or unaffordable to those who need it most. If taxpayers knew the waste in Obamacare’s administration and guarantees to the healthcare industry, taxpayers would not be very happy.
It goes back to Jonathan Gruber’s statement that the people are stupid and the lack of transparency is very powerful political tool.
Meanwhile, the enrollment rate is low but the Obama administration is feeding the traditional media the spin that enrollment is surging. This game is not going to promote Obamacare’s credibility.
“More than a million people signed up for health insurance plans onHealthCare.gov in the past week, bringing the overall total of signups for the first four weeks of the current open-enrollment period to nearly 2.5 million, the CMS announced Tuesday.
“More than half of the people who enrolled between Dec. 6-12 were renewing their coverage.
Many of the State Health Exchanges are already extending the deadline for coverage to begin January 1,2015, California, Maryland and Minnesota, Idaho, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island and Washington already have extended their deadlines for signing up.
If enrollment was going as well as the Obama administration claims, there would not be so many 2 week extensions.
Why wouldn’t the healthcare insurance companies want more enrollees? They are selling insurance policies for the Obamacare at no financial risk.
HHS is rolling out online partnerships with three online firms to further promote HealthCare.gov during the current open-enrollment period,which ends Feb. 15.
The partnerships are with Monster.com, Peers.org, and Higi, a provider of interactive health stations tracking weight, BMI and other vital signs to supermarkets such as Kroger and Meijer. The company will post messages informing users of the open-enrollment period.
The partnerships are innovative but have a low probability of success.
President Obama and his administration continue its information spin. The real truth is the Obama administration is not transparent at all. It takes hard work to figure out what is the truth.
The public is beginning to figure out that they are not getting the truth. Consumers are directly affected by the manipulation of the truth personally. Consumers are not showing up to participate.
Presently, Obamacare is only covering consumers in the individual marketplace.
Just wait until Obamacare affects the small group and large group employers that are going to have to pay a penalty for providing unqualified Obamacare healthcare coverage.
One outstanding example is the worthless Mini-med plans of McDonald and Burger King that President Obama gave a waiver to until 2017.
The dice have been loaded against the American people by the rules and regulations in Medicare and Obamacare.
Patients liked their doctors. Once they discovered that they could not keep their doctors under Obamacare they became angry at President Obama for lying to them. The soon to be released new payment rules will increase the anger.
Physicians have found it more difficult to run small private practices. The complexities of compliance with the rules, regulations and the payment systems for both Medicare and Obamacare are forcing physicians to sell out to hospital systems.
These complexities are in effect ending independent medical practices. This has been intentional. The Obama administration doesn’t want to control 600,000 independent physicians. It wants to deal with the hospital systems the are involved with. The hospital systems can then deal with the doctors.
Republicans are looking for a compelling alternative to Obamacare.
Just as Obamacare was forced through congress, President Obama is trying to force how medicine is practiced in America down the throats of Americans.
It is consistent with Jonathan Gruber’s view that Americans are to stupid to understand what is going on. It follows that Americans are too stupid to be responsible for their own care.
Americans want freedom of choice. They do not want the government to tell them what to do.
Republicans are looking for an alternative to Obamacare. A viable alternative could be to save the private practice of medicine and not subject Americans to the inefficiencies of a government controlled bureaucracy.
Physicians by nature and education are competitive. Competition leads to improvement of the delivery of medical care.
All medicine is local. The alternative to Obamacare is to have local completion among physicians and permit patients to choose their doctors.
The answer to the Republican’s dilemma is right in front of their eyes.
A real Republican alternative to Obamacare would support physician ownership of independent medical practices and preserve local competition between doctors and maintain choice for patients.
Obamacare’s promotion of large hospital systems with salaried physicians eliminates physicians competing for patients. The lack of physicians competing for patients destroys the physician/patient relationship.
Physicians listen to patients if patients have a choice. The interaction is a partnership called the patient /physician relationship.
This solves the problem of President Obama’s lie. “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor period.” Patients choose their doctors.
Dr. Donald Berwick and Jonathan Gruber’s view the consolidation of physicians and hospital systems as a necessary step to enable payment liability onto providers through hospital systems and away from government programs such as Medicare and Obamacare.
President Obama does not understand that doctors are not stupid either. At the moment physicians feel financially cornered by the government and the hospital systems and are joining hospital systems as a temporary means of surviving.
President Obama also does not realize that over the last 50 years there has been a build up of physician distrust for most hospital administrations.
Most administrators have tried to repair that mistrust but it has not been very successful. Hospital systems have been trying for years to own their physicians’ intellectual property and surgical skills for their hospital system’s profit. It is all about economics. Patient care is secondary.
As hospital systems consolidate competition will be eliminated. Then hospital systems will realize they are losing money because of the risk they agreed to accept from the government. Hospital systems will demand more money from the government or consumers or go out of business.
Patients lose, taxpayers lose, and the American healthcare system loses.
The abuses of the healthcare system by all the stakeholders must be fixed. It will never be fixed by forcing stakeholders to fix it. It will only be fixed by aligning incentives of all the stakeholders. Consumers must lead the way.
A recent Physicians Foundation survey of 20,000 U.S. doctors found that 35% described themselves as independent, down from 49% in 2012 and 62% in 2008.
It has also been reported that hospital systems are complaining that they are losing money on their physicians in these integrated systems.
Hospital systems are dropping out of the Obamacare Accountable Care Organization programs. There have been reports that salaried physicians are less productive that independent practicing physicians.
I believe in the team approach to the management of chronic disease. The patient must be at the center of the team with the physician being the head coach or manager and his team being an extension of the physician’s care.
Medical decision making entities must not be the insurance company or the government.
The idea that integrated systems with salaried physicians leads to increased economic efficiency, better quality of care and clinical outcomes than small independent private practices never made syllogistic sense to me.
Patient care becomes depersonalized in large hospital systems. Both patients and physicians become commodities in systems focused on the bottom line.
Small practices have the advantage of providing a personal style of care. Consumers want that comfort when they are sick. They want someone they know who is going to listen to them and talk to them.
In a private setting physicians can practice the way they want, without interference by a large, impersonal organization driving efficiency.
If a physician in private practice does not satisfy the consumer’s need the consumer can leave the practice and go somewhere else.
Health Affairs published a study in August 2014 looking at primary care physicians in small practices and “ambulatory care sensitive” admission rates. The study included such conditions as congestive heart failure in which admission to the hospital can be preventive by high quality primary care. The patient relates positively to the physician and the physician relates positively to the patient (positive patient/physician relationship).
This is not the only study that shows that small independent private practices can deliver just as high or higher quality of care than large integrated hospital systems with salaried physicans.
All three studies turned a piece of conventional wisdom on its head; that large practices, with their care management teams and sophisticated clinical information systems, produce better clinical outcomes.
Republicans should start presenting alternatives to Obamacare. The alternative must provide consumers with what they want rather than systems that let the government to tell consumers what they are going to get.
The ideal medical savings account will let consumers choose and keep their doctor if they like their doctor.
This is a message for the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Obamacare is a disaster built on a failed ideology, deceptions and lies.
Obamacare started off with lies and continues to deceive the American public.
Its emotional seductions have also deceived many physicians.
All one has to remember is Jonathan Gruber’s statement about the lack of transparency being a powerful political tool. Gruber said given the lack of transparency, the public is too stupid to figure out the truth.
This statement was not true for an instant. President Obama knew it but ideology trumps reality. Many have blamed Obamacare’s failure on President Obama’s inexperience as a manager. This is not the reason.
The failed progressive ideology of big government controlling choices and freedoms of the American people is the reason for Obamacare’s failure.
Last week, Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) admitted the passage of Obamacare was a mistake. Not surprisingly, the mainstream traditional media has not mentioned Schumer’s admission.
The mainstream media has been a shill for Democrats and President Obama. It has helped the Obama administration keep the truth from the American public.
President Obama keeps the American public uninformed with the help from the traditional mainstream media. His goal is central government control of Americans’ choices and freedoms. President Obama’s support is derived from his appeal to Americans’ emotions and not from the facts.
His problem is Americans are not stupid. They can separate reality from appearance when they pay attention. Obamacare is now affecting them directly and they are paying attention.
President Obama is waking up the sleeping tiger of Patient Power.
Obamacare is failing, but Obama’s lies keep coming. One recent lie is Obamacare’s open enrollment period is going well. I have shown evidence to the contrary in my last blog. So far the administration is 50% behind their estimated sign ups.
As of 12/05/2014 open enrollment is still (884,354/1,050,000) behind with 59% of estimates to sign up.
The biggest lie, since “you can keep your doctor, period” is that healthcare spending is decreasing because of Obamacare. This lie is a complicated lie. It is important to understand this lie.
Obamacare is not lowering healthcare spending. It is increasing healthcare spending. Premiums and out of pocket costs are increasing for consumers.
As a result of Obamacare deductibles have increased beyond affordability. Consumers cannot afford to utilize their “healthcare insurance” until absolutely necessary. The result will be higher costs when patients are forced to use the insurance because of the development of complications from a chronic disease.
“The Bureau of Economic Analysis issued its advance estimate of first-quarter growth in 2014, which barely made it into the black with an annualized GDP growth rate of 0.1 percent.
Healthcare spending rose at an annualized rate of 9.9 percent, far outstripping inflation and standing in stark contrast to other components of the BEA report.
Exports fell 7.6 percent, and demand for imports declined by 1.4 percent. Consumer consumption rose 3.0 percent, but that came in part from the high rate of health-care spending.
In 2008, pre Obamacare, the US had seen a drift downward in health-care spending.
The downward trend began to reverse as Obamacare first officially launched in October 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2013, health-care spending rose 5.6 percent, far above the 2.6 percent growth rate of the economy, to which it significantly contributed.
The New York Times writes article after article claiming that the cost of healthcare is decreasing. The implication is that Obamacare is working.
“The rapid increase in spending does not indicate that the system is working to lower costs, an absurd if not Orwellian construct by President Obama.
“Nor is the debate “over,” no matter how many times Obama claims otherwise. Too bad the White House chose not to take advice from National Journal’s Ron Fournier.
Consumers are tired of President Obama’s lies. He has lost all credibility with the American public.
The Obama administration keeps telling us how well Obamacare’s Accountable Care Organizations are doing. The Obama administration keeps saying hospital systems must set up integrated healthcare systems (ACOs) to increase the quality of care.
Hospital systems have been promised increased revenue incentives by setting up ACOs. Most hospital systems are losing money with their ACO’s.
As a result of losing money hospital systems are dropping out of the federal ACO program.
This week, the Obama administration published regulations to decrease the hospital systems’ risk and increase its financial incentives, in order to decrease the ACO dropout rate.
President Obama refuses to believe that even though the ACO model sounds great its successful execution is difficult to impossible.
The chances for ACOs to succeed is not only dependent on the hospital system’s ability to decrease utilization, it is heavily dependent on patients taking responsibility for their own care. Patients must follow instructions.
President Obama believes he can lie his way out of reality. The American public is not buying these lies any more.
Republicans must focus on the reasons for the obvious failures of Obamacare.
Consumers want to have freedom of choice. They do not want the government to control them.
Republican must focus on creating programs to provide incentives for consumers to be in control and responsible for their health and healthcare dollars.
My ideal medical saving account will do all of the above.
The following is a weekly tracking of 2015 enrollees for Obamacare. I will try to report it weekly. Open enrollment ends February 28, 2015.
The only information the Obama administration has provided to the traditional mainstream media is the statement that open enrollment is going well.
ACASignup.net is providing weekly tracking against the estimates CMS has provided on the government’s web site. The data is there but the traditional mainstream media does not look at it or report it.
What must Republicans do about Obamacare now that they have control of the Senate and the House of Representatives?
The Republican majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate must develop positive alternatives to Obamacare that all the stakeholders can accept.
Republicans must address the concerns that led to Obamacare’s enactment in the first place. The dysfunctional parts of the healthcare system pre-Obamacare were unsustainable healthcare costs, too many uninsured and a lack of protection for patients with pre-existing conditions.
The healthcare system’s business model was dysfunctional before President Obama forced Obamacare through congress. All Obamacare has done is add more rules, regulations and bureaucracy to the healthcare system while imposing increasing government control.
The result has been greater impingement on Americans’ freedoms as well as increased costs to taxpayers. Taxpayers are experiencing less personal care, less choice of care, less access to care, higher taxes and higher out of pocket expenses.
The healthcare costs to society are becoming more, rather than less, unsustainable as a result of Obamacare. These increased costs have had a negative impact on the entire economy.
This notion is widely accepted. Is a single party payer system a dirty phrase? No.
The problem is that a single party payer system has not worked efficiently anywhere in the developed world except Switzerland despite progressives’ spin to the contrary.
Obamacare’s road to a single party payer will become clearer when the employer mandate provisions kick in. The employer mandate was to begin in January 2015. It has already been delayed to 2016 or 2017. The Obama administration changed the law in order to make the ultimate goal of a single party payer system less obvious to consumers.
Meanwhile, new taxes to pay for Obamacare have been in effect since 2010.
Companies have already dumped workers from their employer plans into government-run exchanges by decreasing full time jobs to part time jobs.
The exchanges should have theoretically swelled. They haven’t because the premiums and deductibles are too high. If the exchanges swell they will become more costly to taxpayers. Americans will be told we must switch to a single payer system because a government monopoly will be more cost-efficient.
At that point it will be Medicare for all. Medicare is a single party payer system that has become unsustainable. Where is the logic?
Republican majorities must articulate Obamacare’s destructive mayhem to the American public. The public is experiencing this mayhem right now. Republican must describe it and its cause.
President Obama is going to come back and blame Republicans for being obstructionist. Republicans must be right there and explain that President Obama and his administration owns the mayhem.
The public is not stupid.
Republicans should start proposing constructive alternatives. I have outlined these constructive alternatives in the past.
Republicans must present a plan which addresses the unsustainable healthcare costs, the uninsured and the lack of protection for patients with pre-existing conditions.
These alternatives should be developed through congressional committee debate, media debate and a public relations campaign.
Stakeholders other than consumers have invested lots of money in adjusting and profiting from Obamacare’s new rules and regulations. They think they have a competitive advantage. They are wrong.
Medical care must between patients and physicians. Patients have tremendous power in the healthcare system. They just do not realize it yet.
Large financial companies with their lobbying power are investing in healthcare in order to profit from the Obamacare chaos. They view consumers and physicians as commodities.
Soon their companies will be too big to fail. However, the government is the only entity that can bail them out. The problem is the government will have failed too. These companies will have no one to bail them out.
Republicans must be responsible and responsive right now.
Republicans must promote and harness Patient Power so that consumers, not government, are in control of their health, healthcare dollars and their medical care.

Real fur gilets can be spotted everywhere these days from fashion shows, the streets of New York City, to housewives and fashionistas all over the world. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry and Anna Wintour can be seen rocking the fashionable frocks as well. You may be thinking of investing in a fur gilet as well, so here are some reasons that it’s a good choice.
The most obvious reason for wanting to own a fur coat is that they are really warm, especially during harsh winters. Think about it, the animals who wore the fur before you lasted all winter without freezing, you will have the same results. During the winter you’ll want to stay warm but still look great, so a fur coat is an excellent solution. It is warm and stylish and provides heat retention unmatched in other synthetic materials. Even better, real fur is extremely warm without being bulky or heavy like other man made coats. Real fur gilets are also very comfortable with a soft and silky feel.
A quality, real fur garment will last for years (up to 20 or more) with the proper care, and can be passed down for generations to come. This makes it a great investment. Also, the man made materials in other garments do not break down naturally over time and can end up in landfills which is not good for the environment. A fur gilet will naturally degrade, making them more environmentally friendly once they are worn out.
Last but certainly not least, a fur gilet is a beautiful and fashionable garment sure to turn heads. It is no longer your grandmother’s style, with 55% of sales coming from people under the age of 44. Global fur sales are on the rise with luxe colored fur being one of the most coveted trends. It is a versatile texture that can be combined with many other fabrics. With a fur garment in your closet arsenal, you’ll be on trend with a statement piece on your hands. As said before, a fur garment can last for many years. Since fur is always in fashion, you will always be on trend winter after winter.
Fur has been a constant in fashion every year for many years now. There is a wide variety of furs to choose from depending on your style and the look and quality you are searching for. Some of the most popular types of fur are mink, fox, rabbit, chinchilla, and sable and come in a variety of styles, colors, and prices. Now that you know why fur is so popular, you can make a better decision about investing in your first piece.

Accuracy: ? - Not enough reference available to me to make an accurate assessment.
Overall Rating: 10 - Satisfies my desire to own what I perceive to be an accurate replica.
This is a full scale replica of the laser pistols used by the Sentry Robots in the underrated 1979 Disney movie "The Black Hole".
The props used in the film were rather crudely made, as many props are, but this kit of the pistol gives you a great replica without looking as crude as the originals due to better finishing and good casting.
The gun consists of two over-and-under barrels attached to a double crescent shaped handle. The gun is almost completely symmetrical about the X an Y axis except for the trigger and some of the cylindrical detailing toward the front of the model. The main barrel assemblies consist entirely of various sized rods glued together to form the overall shape. A very simple design, showing that simplicity itself with a bit of imagination is all it takes to make a sci-fi prop!
How accurate is the kit? At the time of this writing I have no where near enough information to make a good comparison (although I know I saw a closeup picture of an original prop someplace- just can't remember where!), but I'm sure that given AIM's usual attention to detail, that the replica is about as authentic as you can get without acquiring an original. I have, for this review, studied the DVD of the movie to check, and I cannot see anything that makes this replica inaccurate. If I was told it was a re-worked original prop casting, I'd have no proof to believe otherwise.
The model will be very easy to build, requiring only some light cleanup work, minor filling and sanding, and assembly with superglue. The hardest part to clean up will be the flash and seams on the "spring coil" parts.
If you will be handling the model a lot, I recommend making some modifications by drilling holes into mating parts and fitting metal rods or wooden dowels to strengthen the joints and glueing them together using epoxy. This will make the model able to stand rougher handling better than the brittle superglues that would normally be used.
As far as colour scheme goes, the instructions state that the prop should be painted metallic charcoal gray with silver "wear-and-tear" highlights and red barrel tips and trigger. This appears for the most part to be accurate, but upon studying the DVD it looks in some shots like the cluster of rods around the rear and front of the main twin bodies may be high gloss silver or chrome, with the rest of the gun either high gloss black or very dark gloss metallic gray. The "springs" on the barrel coils are definitely silver or plated. However this is pure conjecture on my part since as we all know things look quite different in the film than they may in real life. No question about it though, the robot S.T.A.R.'s pistols were entirely chrome plated!
Overall, I think this is a fabulous kit to get if you want a replica of this rather unusual looking laser gun.

SAAC announces upcoming theater season by Special to the News-Times | August 10, 2018 at 5:00 a.m.
The South Arkansas Arts Center’s Theatre Steering Committee has announced its 2018-2019 theater season, beginning in the fall, as a celebration of imagination and storytelling.
Opening the season is the Tony Award winning “Peter and the Starcatcher,” sponsored by Murphy-Pitard Jewelers. The play follows the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be “The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up” (a.k.a. Peter Pan). From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, “Peter and the Starcatcher” playfully explores the depths of greed and despair and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. From the books by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, adapted for the stage by directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers and written for the stage by Rick Elise with music by Wayne Barker, the show will run Nov. 1-6.
Auditions for the show will be held Sept. 17-18.
“You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” is the second production in the lineup, sponsored by Southern Bancorp & Teague Auto Group. Currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” is a fresh approach to the all-time 1967 classic, based on the beloved comic strip by Charles Schultz. Sally Brown joins Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder and Snoopy in this charming revue of vignette. The show depicts an average day in the life of Charlie Brown, with experiences ranging from Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human). Based on the comic strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schultz; book, music and lyrics by Clark Gesner, the show will run March 1-3 and March 7-10.
Auditions for the show will be held Jan. 14-15.
“The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” sponsored by Murphy USA, will round out the season as the summer musical. Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score. An equally powerful story and score make “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” an instant classic. Audiences will be swept away by the magic of this truly unforgettable musical. Book by Peter Parnell, musical score by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, the show will run July 18-21 and July 24-28.
Auditions for the show will be held in May 2019.
For more information, contact the SAAC office at 870-862-5474 or visit saac-arts.org. SAAC is located at 110 E. Fifth St., El Dorado.

When you need an old grouch, Edward Asner is your man.
Yet the actor best-known as gruff newsman Lou Grant, who expands his resume of grumps as the voice of a curmudgeonly widower in Pixar Animation's "Up," wants people to know he can play romance and action, too.
"I can do lovers," Asner said in an interview at his Los Angeles home. "I can do Sir Galahad types. I'm not going to limit myself in voice-overs to irascible old men.
"You better get that straight!" Asner adds, slyly slipping into the crabby tone he perfected as Grant, the role that won him five of his seven Emmys, first on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and later in the spinoff "Lou Grant."
Asner does not want to limit himself because Hollywood has done that for him through the years. He said he had only one year in his 50-plus-year career that he landed as much work as he wanted, when he was working on Moore's sitcom and shot 1976's "Rich Man, Poor Man," a miniseries that also won him an Emmy.
Turning 80 this November, Asner still wishes more offers would come his way. Asked how often he receives scripts that really interest him, he inquired, "Did you bring anything with you?"
"No, nothing comes in," Asner said. "I'm not sought-after. I never get enough work. It's the history of my career. There just isn't anything to turn down, let me put it that way."
Asner was sought-after for the role of Carl Fredricksen in "Up," the latest tale from Pixar and its parent outfit, Walt Disney, whose animated hits include "WALL-E," "Ratatouille," "Finding Nemo" and the "Toy Story" flicks. The film opened Friday.
"Up" director Pete Docter said Asner was Pixar's first choice for the voice of Carl, a lonely, cranky widower who renews his spirit of adventure by tying thousands of helium balloons to his house and flying off to the wilds of South America.
Docter said the Pixar animators often zero in on voices by putting on old movies and TV shows with the picture off, listening only to the audio to see who might fit the characters they're developing. Asner's Lou Grant was an icon of the bullying but lovable boss, Docter said.
"Ed, he has the comedic chops, he's got the acting chops, and he's made a career of playing these types of characters," Docter said. "He's sort of coursing through our entertainment DNA."
Asner made good use of his prickly persona as a world-weary Santa Claus in Will Ferrell's 2003 hit "Elf." His other big-screen credits include "JFK" and "Fort Apache the Bronx," while his many TV guest spots include "ER," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "The X-Files." Asner also has done a great deal of TV voice-over work for such shows as "The Simpsons" and "Spider-Man."
He recently got the call to do more voice work for the animated series "The Boondocks," on which he has a recurring character. But Asner still wishes the phone would ring more often.
"I keep telling people that I'm a better actor now than I've ever been in my life, in my ability to choose and my ability to interpret," Asner said. "I'd say most people are probably in that same boat, old people, and it's a shame that they're not given the opportunity to demonstrate that intelligence along with their emotion, that it's not utilized.
"I suppose this occurs in every profession. People are trying to farm you out once you reach a certain age. I think it's an American trait, and I think it's an ugly trait."

This is a pretty dark book. Think a cross between Dexter and the Bourne franchise, and you get a good feel for the pulse of this series. Studies have shown that approximately 1% per cent of the population are born psychopaths. If you had a chance to channel them…would you? Put their talents to better use then the uses they’d find for their talents themselves….?
Writer Justin Jordan tells a pretty good first chapter of exactly what can happen when you lose control of something you never really understood in the first place. The most scary and realistic part of this story is that there is probably a good chance aspects of it has already happened here in the real world. The dialogue is really well written and the pace of the book is eerily calm for the situations that are presented panel to panel.
“There are forty of you in here now. This door doesn’t open again until there are twenty“……..brutally effective writing. Add that with the art of Ibrahim Moustafa and those panels just run ice cold. A good artist can tell a lot with facial expressions. A great artist can tell a lot with SUPRESSED facial expressions.
I’m still not sure where this story is going. Is it a story of redemption? of unfinished business? or just a trip into the warped minds of a serial killer nation? I should state now that this book is definitely for mature readers. There are some pretty disturbing panels of art in here but there pretty much needed to be.
Chapter 2 is out April 5th.I’m going to be reading it.

I read this for a Sunday school class back in my college days and recently started it over. It’s a classic for a reason, as Packer, an Anglican, provides a glorious overview of the Christian faith. The back cover is full of recommendations from a who’s who of 20th century Christianity. If you’ve never been exposed to this gem, don’t wait any longer.
I “read” (listened to) this on our recent 6,100 mile road trip. Rath, the bestselling author of Strengthfinders 2.0, packs his book full of research based facts to motivate you to eat better, exercise more, and sleep well. It’s amazing how your quality of life improves as you put all three together. Each of the 30 chapters has a tip based on research regarding each of the three areas to help you be the best you can be.
This Pulitzer-prize-winning book tells the tale of a father and son traveling south together in a post-apocalyptic world. So far, it is a lesson in loving a child, and McCarthy’s writing deserves the praise it receives.
Diane and I listened to this testimonial whenever Annie was otherwise engaged on our big trip. It’s one of those books that manages to be informative and delightful all at once. Qureshi was raised in the west but in a devout Muslim family. The book takes a nice tone as he honors his parents and his childhood faith, giving us all reason to pause and wonder whether we are taking Christianity as seriously as his parents took Islam. If you want to understand what it means to leave the life of a Muslim to embrace Christ, start here.
Do you see a pattern? Yes, I’m thinking about health (which doesn’t necessarily mean I’m doing anything about it!) This book tells the story of how Americans have gained on average (I forget the statistic exactly) 25 lbs. over the last few decades. How? Two words: processed foods. If you are looking for motivation to put down the Cheetos and turn away from the lunchables, pop-tarts, and cold cuts, pick this one up.
Another “listen” on the road trip, but this one we played for all of us. And we loved it! It’s a novel for everyone, telling four different stories of four children and the various injustices they encounter and seek to overcome in life…and the music that helps them through. The author ties the stories together beautifully at the end. I had a serious lump in my throat. Read this one (or listen to it – a lovely musical score goes along with the audio version) with the whole family.
Along with Seeking Allah…, I read this book in light of the recent controversy at Wheaton College (where Josh and Elisabeth attend). It was at this august Evangelical institution that a Political Science Professor said in December 2015 that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. They don’t…but that question has never received more attention than it did in the last few months. This is a short read, and Lloyd-Jones defines an evangelical in three chapters, recognizing that true Christianity exists outside of evangelicalism, but wisely pointing out that if you reject evangelicalism, you may be going to heaven, but you probably won’t take anyone with you. After all, the “Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:10) In Lloyd-Jones’ words, apart from an evangelical faith, Christianity loses its “converting influence.” I doubt he would consider the (now former) Wheaton professor to fill the bill.
Redeemer church in Manhattan, pastored by Keller, is known not only as a church that proclaims the gospel, but as a fellowship that is “for the city”, caring for the “least of these”. Keller lays out the strong biblical case to be a people who live for the poor and needy and spread “shalom” wherever we go.
The sport of crew (a.k.a. rowing) takes center stage in this engrossing true tale of 9 college kids going for gold against Hitler’s best in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I’m a sucker for a World War 2 story, and though this isn’t quite that, it’s close, and I delighted in the story. I’m not the only one. Though it was only published in 2013, it is one of the all time top twenty best-selling non-fiction books at Amazon.
Those who know me well are not surprised to find two Keller books on this list. He’s a modern day C.S. Lewis, and if my layman predictions are right, he will still be read 100 years from now. If you want to give your prayer life a shot in the arm, apparently Timothy Keller practices what he preaches, and he is an faithful guide. His spirit throughout is humble and yet informative.
Hey JoAnn – sure enough. I loved Safely Home. So did Diane. Powerful and faith increasing.

A century-old former fire station is at the heart of a new social housing scheme being piloted in Huddersfield.
Derelict Marsden Fire Station, which dates from 1909, is to be transformed into a house and 26 apartments by local firm SB Homes.
But rather than sell the units the man behind the project intends to rent them out with two being allocated as affordable homes to tenants on Kirklees Council’s housing list.
And Stephen Byram, managing director of SB Homes, says the arrangement could be rolled out across the UK.
Making the decision to rent rather than sell the apartments led to “complex” negotiations with the council over Section 106 money – the contributions paid by developers towards community and social infrastructure.
A new agreement with the authority allows SB Homes to provide two of the rental properties at 80% of the market value.
Tenants will be taken from the council’s housing list, catering for those in most need of affordable housing.
Mr Byram, whose business is based in Marsden, said: “If we were selling the properties, we would have sold two of the apartments to a registered social landlord at cost price – and they would manage and rent the properties out.
SB Homes previously built Ancion Court, a social housing scheme managed by Connect Housing, and also located in Marsden. Mr Byram said it “worked really well” for the community.
He added: “There’s huge demand for affordable, accessible housing in our valley.
Work on the building, on land off Manchester Road close to the village centre, has now begun.
It was bought by SB Homes from West Yorkshire Fire Service in 2017.
Consultant David Storrie, who provided specialist town planning advice on the project, said: “Recent changes in the revised National Planning Policy Framework recognise the contribution that rented housing can make to delivering housing, and that private developers can assist in this delivery.

A few easy things to do in 2018 that will change your life for the better.
We all know the saying “new year, new me”, right? Which means we also all know how improbable it is to do a personality 180 in a matter of a single night.
This is why it’s best to start small, with baby steps that don’t drastically alter your day-to-day activities, but rather get you in the habit of doing smaller, everyday rituals that will leave a lasting impact on your quality of life.
Here, I’ve compiled a cheat sheet of beauty/health related resolutions that should be incorporated into everyone’s lives, regardless of age or gender.
In 2018, it’s time to start being kinder to your body and mind, even if that only means you adopt just one of these small lifestyle tweaks.
It’s been said over and over again, yet I still see people prancing around sporting yesterday’s makeup like it’s still fresh.
Not only does sleeping in your makeup lead to premature wrinkling of your sensitive facial skin, but there are so many complex chemicals in makeup that I wouldn’t dare leaving a face full of that stuff on for more than 10 hours. There just haven’t been enough studies on wearing makeup for that long to deem it totally safe for your skin.
Pro tip: if you know you’re going to be having a late night out, leave some makeup wipes on your bed before you head out. That way you can swipe and hit the sheets in two seconds flat. No excuses!
Using a gentle cleanser in the am and pm will remove dirt and grime that collects in your face and in your pores while you go about your day and even while you sleep.
I’ve noticed a dramatic decrease in the number of breakouts I’ve had since starting this new face routine, and my skin no longer feels dull or tired.
No matter your skin type, find a cleanser that works for you and follow it up with a nice moisturizer that hydrates without greasing up your skin.
If you already do this, I salute you. Some of us just aren’t yet up to snuff when it comes to skincare routines.
Yet again, I know you’ve heard this a thousand times before, but that doesn’t mean you’ve listened in the past.
I too am sick of hearing people suggesting that water is a cure-all elixir that turns your skin into glowing perfection and amps your energy levels way up, even though they’re completely right.
I noticed that when I drink a lot of water my skin is always less dry and my feelings of lethargy seem to slip away. So why don’t we drink water more? Beats me!
Find a system that works for you in 2018 that forces you to notice how much water you are drinking versus how much you should be. I love water bottle tricks like this one and that one, that are easy to replicate yet are extremely effective. There are also some great apps like Plant Nanny that turn drinking water into a fun game!
May your 2018 be hydrated!
We all fall into ruts. Fashions ruts, food ruts, routine ruts, etc. that make life feel a little less exciting.
My challenge to you in the new year is to try more new stuff with beauty and makeup. Try your hand at a cut crease, or whip out some electric blue eyeliner on a Tuesday. You have no idea the impact that small changes in your routine have on your overall life.
And this doesn’t just have to apply to makeup, it can apply to really anything. Try a new dish at your favorite restaurant, or try a new dish at a new restaurant. The possibilities are endless!
Step out of your comfort zone in 2018 and I guarantee you’ll have more stories to tell the grandkids. You might even discover a new favorite beauty look.
Aaaand here’s the part where we get sappy. Yes, it’s important to drink water and take care of your health and skin, but what’s equally important (if not more important) is to take care of your mind and soul.
Remind yourself every day that with or without makeup, you’re exquisitely unique and positively gorgeous.
Recall your myriad of strengths more and dwell less on your weaknesses.
Compliment yourself and others, not because you have to for some silly New Years resolution, but because it’s the truth.
Vow to put yourself down less in 2018, even as a joke.
Do all these things, and happiness and beauty will radiate out of you like you’re the sun and the stars combined.
Here’s to 2018 being the best year yet! Cheers!

Yeah ... I"M BACK !! Please pardon me for not updating my blog for such a long time. I've been facing some personal problem here which makes me unable to cook and blog for a short while.
Today, I'm going to share with all of you one of my 3 kids favorite food. Actually we can just buy the ready made frozen pandan chicken from the market here in Malaysia. Just deep fry it whenever we want to eat it but I prefer to just make this myself. Cheaper and of course the chicken are fresher than the frozen one. The recipe is very simple and I bet all of you can make this at home. A good snack for teatime with a cup of freshly brewed coffee ~ yum!!
I use chicken breast for this Pandan Chicken. Marinate it over-night with tumeric powder, minced shallots, pepper, sugar & some salt.
Clean chicken breast and cut it into smaller pieces & coarsely mince it with meat tenderizer hammer or knife.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap and marinate it over-night in the fridge.
Wash the pandan leave and dry it with clean cloth. Cut the leaves into 3 inch long each. Take a piece or 2 marinated chicken breast and shape it into 1 inch oval shape before wrap it up with the pandan leaves. Put the chicken onto one of the pandan leaves end and roll it tightly to the other end. Hold tight and secure the end of the leaves with a toothpick.
Heat enough oil for frying the chicken. The oil must enough to cover the chicken we want to fry. Wait till the oil is really hot before add in the pandan chicken one by one. Lower down the fire to medium heat and continue frying the chicken until it's golden in color. Watch out the heat all the time and don't over cook the chicken. **The chicken will turn dry and hard if we over-fried it.
Serve while it's still warm with your favourite drink.
Fry the chicken till it's GOLDEN in color..
Set aside and let the excessive oil all drip off before we serve it.
I hope you like the PANDAN CHICKEN I shared with all of you today!! Have a nice day!!

A high spirited, lowbrow loiter behind the frosted glass doors of Manhattan's art gallery district.
Last Friday I got an impromptu invite to an art raffle by my illustrator friend Justin Winslow. Oh how fun to be Justin's "fruit flyette" of an evening ... last time I mumbled "ok" to one of his texts I ended up in a place called the Rawhide staring up at an impressively gyrating, live advertisement for Iron Gym, one of which, like you, I own and have hanging, like yours, nowhere near a doorframe turning me into Wonder Woman or you into Big Arnie, unless you're a body conscious Chelsea boy.

British Dressage is delighted to announce Jo Byrne as the new Regional Development Officer for the Northern region. After 30 years in policing, which included a secondment to the Home Office, Jo will now combine her extensive skill set, organisational ability and ‘team player’ mentality with her lifelong love of horses and dressage.
Jo followed the path of many keen young horsewomen in completing her BHSAI after leaving school but then realised that in order to financially support her hobby, she would need an alternative profession, so joined the police.
Originally from Walsall, Jo started her policing career with the West Midlands Police, reaching the rank of Chief Superintendent before making the move north to join South Yorkshire Police. She retired last June having become the first female Assistant Chief Constable at South Yorkshire Police.
Throughout her career, she kept horses as a hobby and is active as a competitor, owner and trainee judge with British Dressage.
Jo said; “I’m thrilled to be joining BD as the Northern RDO. My home is in Sheffield and I’m familiar with many of the Northern venues, so I am determined to get out and about in the region to meet everyone. I’m looking forward to working with the regional committee to support our organisers, judges and volunteers and to develop opportunities for training and competition.

Another step has been taken toward creating my ideal mobile office. I replaced my old desktop with a new laptop. The 15″ screen is a nice compromise between usefulness and portability. It will be ideal for RV living, and can be used in different situations like outside on a picnic table or going to a bookstore.
With some difficulty, I managed to transfer files from the old machine. An effort is being made to only add to the new computer things I will actually use; and not all of what was on the desktop. New programs and operating system present challenges, but I’m enjoying the experience.
An external harddrive is being used to make a bootable backup on a schedule. Regular use of it should prevent losing important data. Should the internal drive fail, the extra one will allow me to restore my system and continue with minimal disruption.
A router, that creates a local wifi network, gets me on the internet wirelessly with both the laptop and the iPod Touch. It’s very convenient for use in a reasonable distance and adds to the portable aspect. Yes, it is encrypted and password protected which provides an additional layer of protection from the internet.
Having the right equipment will go a long way toward making my work on the road productive and enjoyable. These portable computing tools move me ever closer to being ready for the plein air journey.

As excited as I am for our son (Brandon Hargrave) who is receiving his A.S. degree this weekend (and that’s a story to tell as well), I am just incredibly proud to have the honor to sit through Pomp and Circumstance, awaiting the moment when I see Alice Maria Watson walk across the stage to be recognized for her achievement.
The funny part is that she tells me, she ONLY had a 3.77 GPA. Really? I think she barely made it! Of course, I am being completely facetious. When you read this story of triumph over tragedy, abuse, and loss, you too will come to know and appreciate the mountains this woman has moved in her life!
She continues, “As an adolescent, I basically lived on the streets and when I was 17 years old, my mom passed away in a horrible car accident. This left me to take care of my 15 year old sister and my 16 year old brother. Somehow God brought me out of all that.
“As I started to get older, I had a lot of problems. I struggled with addictions, but the biggest problem was that I struggled with my weight. I had become so obese I wasn’t living – I was just merely surviving. At the age of 28, after a failed marriage and a struggle with infertility, it broke me. I couldn’t take it anymore, and wanted to end my life, the end. I was almost 500 pounds, “ Alice recalled.
“Addiction was weighing me down. I was alone. Or so I thought. Funny thing is, I never realized it until now, but God had been with me the whole time. He had brought me through some horrible times and horrible things and it made me stronger. After contemplating suicide, I decided that I needed help, so I ended up going to therapy. At therapy, my therapist encouraged me to make the decision to have surgery to lose weight. It is now five years later and I am a person. I have more energy and am more confident. I also tended to my spiritual side and ended up going to church. Many people might say that graduating is the biggest accomplishment that I might ever do in life, but to me, the biggest accomplishment is my relationship with the God.
“So, after two years of therapy I started going to school. I enrolled and got my GED which took me about a year. After getting my GED, it seemed like I was on a roll, so I continued to go to the college. I obtained my A.A. degree and this weekend, I will receive my Bachelor’s Degree.
Alice and I met several years ago, when we worked together at Florida Community Health Center’s Dr. Brown Children’s Health Center. I had never met anyone that I was more convinced had a passion to do outreach in our community until the day I met her, and this was her first “real job” as she put it. When I knew her “story,” it made me understand where that passion and love of service came from. It is amazing how you cross paths but for a moment, and have such deep admiration for someone.
Job well done, Alice Maria Watson.

“Stay,” he suggested in a tone so sinfully rich it made her head swim.
“Can’t.” Hope bobbled on one foot, slipping the other into her leather crisscross Louboutin black pump. A smile tipped the curve of her mouth, catching Antonio’s reflection in the full-length mirror. He lay naked, sprawled out across the bed looking rumpled and warm, watching with wide-eyed interest as she bent to fasten the tiny buckle at her ankle.

Recently I was invited to a special screening of Suffragette, organised by Fiona McLoughlin Healy and shown in the Odeon Cinema in Newbridge. I am a proud feminist and I had been looking forward to seeing this film anyway so I was delighted to get the invitation.
The fact that I was to be part of a group of 250 women made it even more special for me as it felt like a celebration of togetherness and of how far women have come since the days when such a basic right was denied to us.
The film itself was outstanding, I hadn't read any reviews at all and was just aware that Meryl Streep was in it and that there had been some online controversy about initial publicity for the film. The slogan 'I'd rather be a rebel than a slave' was seen as racially insensitive by some online commentators, despite the fact that it was a quote by Emmeline Pankhurst and deemed appropriate for the film by its publicists.
Carey Mulligan gives a fantastic performance as Maud Watts, the laundry worker turned revolutionary. For me, she epitomised the quiet rebel who stands on the sidelines until circumstance creates change and brings her true strength to the fore.
It's hard to imagine the environment and relentlessly harsh conditions that women of working class backgrounds experienced on a daily basis, at this time in history. With no prospect of escape or improvement, the vote becomes a symbolic escape for Maud, a hope that women may someday have the possibility of controlling their own destiny.
We watch her journey and the unfolding of her passion and commitment to the cause, fuelled by the harsh treatment and judgement meted out by society and by her own husband, who eventually bars her from her home and denies her access to her own son.
Extraordinary though it may seem, women had literally no rights over their own children and were at the mercy of the goodwill of their husbands. A heartbreaking moment was when Maud returns home briefly to try and give her little boy a handmade toy for his birthday. He is standing there, tiny and bewildered and a strange couple are about to take him away for adoption. The cruelty is distressing and this is how helpless women were - no matter what their character or needs, their lives functioned according to the whims of the men in their lives.
Meryl Streep appears only briefly in the film as the legendary Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the suffragette movement. Her appearances, although short, convey so much of what Emmeline must have represented to the female population of Britain, an inspiring voice and charismatic leader who changed the world for women.
I have to say that the film moved me enormously, it was hard not to feel proud of the incredible tenacity and commitment that brought such positive change.
Having said that, there is still so much more to be done. Following the film, there was a panel discussion. Members of the panel were Senator Cait Keane, Head of Safe Ireland, Alison Bough, President of Network Kildare, Jacinta Carey, Senator Catherine Noone and Claire McGing, Lecturer at NUI, Maynooth. What was highlighted above all for me, is that we have a society which is, as yet, still far from equal and gender discrimination is an ongoing issue which must be tackled. Irish women earn 17% less than men. Studies show that in a situation where exactly the same CV is submitted by multiple applicants, those with male names are far more likely to be called for interview.
What this means to me is that the weighting of our voices is different to those of men, the perception is that we are 'less' somehow. An interesting question asked by an audience member was 'are women perceived as having a deficit?' I think this is at the crux of the matter. Women have to work longer and harder to get the same recognition as men and this is before we even begin to look at the position of childcare and family supports. I personally feel that we, as women, have to work together to combat this, to continue to create change and be conscious that the world we live in, with all its prejudice, is that world that our children will inherit.

As a feminist I believe that feminism is open to interpretation. To many it is exclusively linked to women's rights while others are concerned primarily with the inclusion of gender equality and I fall into the latter category. I believe that men and women should be equal and as an egalitarian do not believe that men are superior to women and vice versa. There is still so much that we need to do to create gender balance but modern society is well on its way to gender enlightenment.
I don't often get to go to the cinema so I was really chuffed to go and see this with some friends recently. It was fantastic - but left me feeling quite dad that women were treated like this not so long ago and are still treated like it in other parts of the world. We still have so far to go.

I’m a day late with my ROW 80 update again; perhaps Mondays work better for me for posting with my updates. Either way, I’m going to post, rather than just shrug and mentally note that I missed it, which is what I was doing back in the summer. That’s progress, right? Right.
Mercury retrograde finally caught up with me, after not troubling me before now. I’m thankful for that. And today, well, computers and I aren’t really speaking the same language, if you know what I mean.
It actually helps me toward one of my goals, which is “fix or replace my laptop.” It’s on its way to the computer doctor tomorrow morning, yay!
A zentangle in progress in my art journal.
My main focus this week has been on blogging, and that’s going well. I’m writing new material for my blog, and have two big guest posts in the works. I’m on track with my craft learning, keeping up with the Conquer Summit videos and trying some of the homework. Other creative pursuits I’ve been up to are zentangling, shown here as a page in progress in my art journal, and being inspired with ideas for my NaNo novel. I haven’t started my outline for that yet, but I’m plotting it in my head a bit first.
We went to the movies last night, the whole family, and saw “Guardians of the Galaxy.” It was fantastic! and inspired lots of new ideas.
I’ve noticed my energy lagging with the season and the moon, but I’m almost through this busy patch and soon will retreat to my cat cave to create, create create. So be it.
