Forget about all those dollar dollar bills, y'all, because cash no longer rules everything about Thirsty Topher.
After moving from their old Ivanhoe Village location a few weeks ago, the popular bar and wine stop was operating under a not-so-convenient cash only policy. But, this is no longer the case. Drinks on the company card!
If you have yet to visit the new location at 601 Virginia Dr, Orlando (they still don't have a sign out front), it still has all the charm of its previous digs and it even sports a new happy hour – $1 off all drafts and house wines from 4 p.m to 7 p.m., as well as 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Dove Fighting at the Duomo di Milano, a photo by Sprengben [why not get a friend] on Flickr.
hit “L” for a more spectacular view!
So this is me at the Duomo die Milano in Europe's fashion capital. You can see I tried to dress adequate :).
The cool thing is that there are pigeons all over the place. Just like in Venice… You can see them pretty clear on the photo. If you move quickly they all try to fly away and make a lot of noise.
So here I jump in front of the dome and a good friend of mine was so nice to shoot.
Recently I get a lot of emails on the topic “how do you get all your views, your favourites and comments.” Well I want to share it here because time allows me not to answer every email instantly.
If you want people to interact on your stream, interact on theirs. Tell them your honest opinion, be a reliable contact.
sorry for every advertisement I did on somebody's stream. People will hate you, block you and sent you some harsh messages.
Try to post good, interesting and unique material. Don’t try to copy this person or that person. Find your own style and present it in a nice way. Also write something to your images like feelings you had when you took it or a song that comes to your mind when you look at the photo. Be creative! Because that’s what Flickr is about!
Don’t try hard to be successful or something like this. Believe me you are not! Not even if you have 10 million views. For the big guys like for example Trey Redcliff or The White house this is just peanuts. Better try to have fun with photography because if you have fun the rest will come on its own.
Use Creative Commons to advertise your photos. In two or three years there will be tools to automatically detect who first released a photo. So why have fear that someone could steal your image. Professional companies don’t use your photos for commercials they fear lawsuits. Creative Commons works for your advertisement all over the world 24 hours without you being active.

The German environment minister has demanded answers from the Swiss authorities after the Leibstadt nuclear reactor in the canton of Aargau near the German border was switched off on Friday night, just seven hours after being restarted following a six months shutdown.
Shortly after the reactor was brought on line at around 5.30pm on Friday, operator KKL noted a malfunction of the exhaust system responsible for filtering gases from the condenser in a non-nuclear area of the reactor, KKL said in a statement.
The system was manually shut down “in an orderly manner” and the incident was not classed as a dangerous incident.
According to the KKL and the Swiss federal inspectorate, ENSI, this latest malfunction has nothing to do with the problems that led to Leibstadt remaining off line for six months from August 2016.
Back then, tests indicated traces of oxidization due to ‘dryouts’. An inspection was then carried out to determine the cause of the problem.
Last Thursday ENSI gave KKL the green light to restart the reactor under certain conditions to ensure that such dryouts did not reoccur.
During the inspection process nothing called into question the safety of the reactor, said ENSI in a statement.
However it seems this has not convinced the German environment minister, Rita Schwarzelühr-Shutter, who on Saturday said it was “unfortunate” that the reactor had been restarted without its problems being completely clarified, reported German media.
”We would like to understand the technical background that led to a decision to restart,” added the minister.
Greenpeace has also criticized the move, while 16,000 people have signed a petition against the reactor led by a Swiss Green Party politician, reported Swiss news agencies.
Some 12 Swiss and German groups have written to the Swiss government to demand the shutdown of the reactor.
Leibstadt is due to be restarted again on Monday evening after the problems with the exhaust system have been fixed, said KKL.
Austria’s Volarlberg region has also previously expressed concerns about Leibstadt.
Dating from 1984, Leibstadt is one of Switzerland’s five nuclear reactors, but it’s far from the oldest. That record is held by Beznau I, which was built in 1969.

If there is one theme that I preach repeatedly for survival situations, it is to practice before your life depends upon your skills. So many survivalists pour through books, videos, and television shows learning every little trick in the book. However, too many people stop there. I cannot count how many times I expected a survival technique to be simple, yet it turned out to be nearly impossible. More importantly, I like to focus on time sensitive situations that would really create natural pressure. In this article I will cover situations you need to practice both alone and with your family.
First we can look at bugging in situations. When you make the decision to lock down, there is an order of tasks to complete and a small amount of time to get them completed. This is a family ordeal unless you live alone, so sit down with a pen and paper and get your family involved. When the bug in decision is made somebody needs to do inventory, to secure the property, to gather or run out for supplies, and to get weapons ready for defense.
Obviously you do not want small children loading guns, but you also want to assign the most difficult tasks to the most experienced and physically able members of your family. A person with a bum knee would be ideal to board up windows or gather weapons. Somebody with a good feel for the time frame of the emergency should be the one handling inventory or rounding up supplies. Make these decisions in advance and do a few trial runs to ensure everybody knows their role. Time how long it takes to get locked down.
Step 1 – Plan out assignments for each person (Inventory, supply run, windows, perimeter, pets and small children, weapons).
Step 2 – Use a timer to see how long it takes to safely complete all tasks. Take notes as you go on anybody that looks lost or confused.
Step 3 – Assess the completion of the tasks. Is your property secure? Do you have the needed supplies? Is everybody inside and locked down?
Step 4 – Make changes to your assignments or provide additional guidance. Run the drill again to see if the time or completion improves.
The opposite of this situation would be preparing to bug out. Again, you have a small amount of time to get everybody prepared and moving in the right direction. Make sure all bug out bags are packed and in a common location by the door. If you have pets or small children, assign somebody to get them together.
If there is food or water to take, make sure somebody gets it into your bags. Finally, make sure everybody knows and practices leaving on foot or by vehicle. Drill who will be leading, who will be navigating, and who will be keeping an eye out for threats. Time how long it takes to get from your home to a safe place.
Step 1 – Gather everybody and assign tasks (gathering small children and pets, collecting weapons, food and water, a last second inventory, ensuring everybody has their BOB, locking down the house as you leave, checking vehicle for fluids).
Step 2 – Assign roles for travel (lead hiker/driver, navigation, lookout, kids and pets duty).
Step 3 – Run the drill with a timer and first see how long it takes you to get out of your home and safely away from the property. Take notes as you go. This drill will feel rushed so the notes are vital.
Step 4 – Take the drill a step further and give your family some distance to cover. Go on foot for a few miles or take your vehicle during a time of bad traffic.
Step 5 – Assess the completion of the tasks. Did your family forget to bring anything vital? Is everybody accounted for? Did the property get locked down so looters can’t get it? How long did it take you to get to safety?
Step 6 – Make changes and run it again. Try to improve the time it takes you to get to safety.
A scenario that could relate to either bugging in or bugging out is moving each family member to the same location. For most families daytime disasters can result in both parents being at different workplaces, and all the kids being at different schools. Designate and practice one parent or driving teen to pick up each child and move them away from congested locations like schools and daycares. Pick a public rendezvous point where traffic will not be an issue and practice getting the whole family together during rush hour. Mark a paper map with short cuts that can shave minutes off your drive time.
Step 1 – Create a plan. Assign each person that can drive a family member that cannot. Get out a paper map and plot the locations of each person. Then figure out where to meet.
Step 2 – Time how long it takes to get each member of the family away from congested areas. Each person needs to be at least a mile from any schools, daycares, shopping centers, or large office buildings.
Step 3 – Time how long it takes to get the whole family together at the rendezvous point.
Step 4 – Time how long it takes to get everybody from that point to your home or other secure location.
Step 5 – Adjust your strategy to try to get everybody reaching the rendezvous point at the same time. This may mean moving the location to accommodate those that travel slower. You can step up the difficulty by running the drill during rush hour or after a sporting event lets out.
Another drill to run in your home is evacuating during a house fire. Your workplace probably has an evacuation plan, but what if an electrical fire breaks out at home in the middle of the night. Sit down with your family and designate who will gather small children and pets. Assign one person to make sure they grab their cell phone and have them call 911 as soon as they have left the building. Ensure everybody knows where fire extinguishers are located, but designate one adult to decide whether to try and fight the flames or just bail and wait for help. Again, practice this drill several times by setting a loud alarm to go off in the middle of the night.
Step 1 – Sit down with the family and assign tasks to each person (gathering small children and pets, grabbing a cell to call 911, ensuring everybody made it outside, deciding whether to use a fire extinguisher or not).
Step 2 – Tell your family that the drill starts when a loud alarm clock goes off in the hallway, but do not tell them what time it will go off. Try to pick times that would catch them off guard (middle of the night or in the morning when getting ready for the day).
Step 3 – Run the drill and take notes as you go. Use a timer to see how long it takes to get everybody to safety and how long it takes to get the extinguisher and get back to the fire.
Step 4 – Make adjustments and run it again. You should be able to get the whole family out of the house in less than 2 minutes with practice. To step up the difficulty, cut the power so the drill must be done in complete darkness.
Another common household disaster is flooding. As you practice this situation, you will have to decide if wind damage will be a concern. When flooding is related to hurricanes, you will also need to board up windows and secure the exterior. Cell phones would likely be down so practice alternative communication methods.
Ensure everybody in the family knows to focus their efforts on the lowest spot in the house. Designate one person to cut power to areas that will have standing water. Have a designated place to which you can move furniture, and make sure anybody physically able can help with the effort. Have a cache of dry clothes and blankets, and verify that everybody knows where they are. If safety gets to be an issue, have a higher ground area for everybody to meet and wait for help.
Step 1 – Gather everybody to assign tasks and to designate an area for furniture. Also determine a safe area of higher ground to move to if safety is an issue.
Step 2 – Practice moving the most valuable items to your designated area with a timer. Make sure somebody cuts the power first.
Step 3 – Douse each other with cold water and then scramble to get to your high ground area and change into dry clothes. May want to do this one on a hot day.
Riot survival is another good drill to practice with your family. If you are in a crowd and disaster strikes, your family needs to know how to act. The next time you are at a sporting event or concert, have your family pretend that the crowd has gotten hostile. Teach them to walk diagonally across the crowd with arms locked, but never against the crowd. Show them how to be a gray man and blend in while avoiding eye contact and confrontation. Show them the back alleys and shortcuts that will get you all to safety.
Step 1 – Run through a list of do’s and don’ts for moving through a riot. Make sure everybody understands the danger.
Step 2 – Find a crowded place, lock arms, and time how long it takes you to get safely out of the crowd. If you notice anybody talking to people in the crowd, making eye contact, or moving against the flow of people then make everybody start over.
Step 3 – Review with everybody the things they did right and wrong. Run it again to improve your time.
Building a shelter quickly can absolutely save your life if you are stuck in the wild. Show your family how to build a lean-to or debris shelter with only natural materials. Time this drill and then show them how much faster you can build a shelter with a tarp or emergency blanket. If you live in an area with lots of snow, show them how to build a snow cave. If you live in the tropics, show them how to make a raised platform. Ensure everybody participates.
Step 1 – Show everybody how to make a simple shelter with natural materials.
Step 2 – Tear it down and make them build one without your help. Time how long it takes.
Step 3 – Build a shelter with a tarp or emergency blanket and show them the time difference.
Step 4 – Take it down and make them build one.
Step 5 – Make suggestions and run it again to improve your time.
Building a fire is another practice that can save your life, and it can be tougher than you would think. These drills should be done in stages. First show them how much tinder, kindling, and fuel they need to gather and how to build a fire with a lighter or matches. Then increase the difficulty by showing them the use of a ferro rod or bow drill. Teach them what kind of wood is needed for friction fire. To really sink in the urgency, time them on building a fire in the rain or snow.
Step 1 – Show everybody how to build a friction fire, a fire with a ferro rod, and a fire with a lighter.
Step 2 – Make them build a lighter fire without your help and time them.
Step 3 – Make them build a ferro rod fire without your help and time them.
Step 4 – Make them build a friction fire without your help and time them.
Step 5 – Make them build any kind of fire in the rain or snow and time them.
Step 6 – Give them feedback and run it again to improve the times focusing on the ones that were most difficult.
Related to building a fire, showing your family how to help somebody that has fallen through the ice is very important. You need to first explain to never risk their own safety to get somebody out of the water, but instead to extend a rope or pole to them. The remainder of the drill is all about speed. You only have a few minutes to dry off and warm up, so hammer this home. Have somebody building a fire while somebody else rolls the victim in snow to dry them off. Get their clothes stripped off and practice using body heat in a sleeping bag. Finally get water boiling to warm them up from the inside.
Step 1 – Wait until there is snow on the ground and mark a big circle or rectangle to represent ice.
Step 2 – Put one person in the center and have your family rescue them without crossing onto the ice themselves.
Step 3 – Have one person build a fire while everybody else helps to pretend to dry off the victim and use body heat to warm them up.
There are a few other first aid techniques that should be drilled with the whole family. CPR and mouth to mouth are two that everybody should know and practice. Helping a choking victim is another important drill. In fact, I actually saved my wife from choking just a few years ago. Stopping the bleeding on severe cuts is very important. Emphasize pressure, elevation, and tourniquets only as a last measure. Teach how to build makeshift crutches or a splint for an arm or leg. You never know when the family member with the most medical training might be unconscious and needing help, so teach everybody these tactics.
Step 1 – Designate one person to be the victim and tell them what their ailment is, but do not tell anybody else.
Step 2 – Have the rest of the family diagnose the issue by communicating with the victim. You can add visible symptoms as well if appropriate.
Step 3 – Have them treat the victim using life-saving first aid methods.
If severely dehydrated, the time it takes you to purify water might be vital. I suggest drilling your family on purifying water by building a fire, building a filter, digging a proximity well, and purifying in sunlight. It would also be smart to practice rainwater catches and solar stills. Time each method to show them which options will help save them the fastest.
Step 1 – Train everybody on how to most quickly purify water.
Step 2 – Supply them with natural materials and have them decide the quickest option. Time them on how long it takes and note how effective they are.
Step 3 – Give them a different set of materials and see if they change their method.
Step 4 – Discuss and repeat to improve times.
Finally, how to react to large predators should be discussed and practiced. Many people make the incorrect decision to run when they feel threatened. Pretend to be different species of predators and see how they react. If they are not in immediate danger, have them practice building a fire inside a boma and have them sharpen spears. Show them that being proactive is often more effective than waiting to be attacked.
Step 1 – Treat this like charades and pretend to be an animal coming around the corner in close proximity to them.
Step 2 – See how they react based on the type of animal you are and either attack or walk away depending on how they respond.
Step 3 – if they respond correctly, ask them to then build a camp for the night that would protect them from this type of animal. If they get it wrong, explain why and do it again with a different type of animal.
It is easy to fall into the habit of explaining or displaying these skills rather than drilling them. This is a mistake. Everybody that is able should be required to physically participate in the drills. Just watching or listening is not enough. It is likely that you will know much more than the rest of your family on these subjects, so it may get frustrating to watch them fumble around. Remember that you were once the novice, and in some cases may still be a novice. Have patience and make sure each person is able to struggle their way to a solution. It will make for a much more memorable lesson.
Drilling and practice, practice and drilling….all becomes muscle memory. The military, law enforcement, and firefighters drill and practice to gain confidence and develop muscle memory. Why? Because when things get crazy we fail to the level of our training. Good article as a whole, but let’s not forget that other skills will be essential if things really go to Hell in a handbag. Hunting, fishing, trapping, sanitation, repairing the tools you have to work with, improvised weapons, construction, and mechanical abilities as well as physical conditioning are just as important as building fires.
Also, let’s not forget that in a true grid-down/SHTF scenario, the most dangerous predators look just like us. They will be desperate and willing to take risks a prepared person, family, or group wouldn’t. A combat mindset and an understanding that you may have to do things that violate your moral code may be essential to your survival. Perimeter security should be included in future articles.

Containers are at the heart of so-called “cloud-native” applications and platforms — the emerging term of art for apps born in or redesigned for container-centric technologies. Containers enable faster software delivery, tremendous scale, higher resiliency, greater flexibility, and a wider range of implementation options — all critical features that EA pros need to accelerate digital transformation. But large, highly distributed collections of application components running in containers require coordination and orchestration. As enterprises begin to adopt containers throughout the application life cycle, the number of inquiries Forrester receives about container orchestration is increasing.
Container orchestration is a critical component of a cloud-native strategy. Container technologies form the foundation of cloud-native platforms and enable microservices-based application architectures. Orchestration is essential to fully leverage containers.Clients most frequently ask about Kubernetes, Docker built-in orchestration (AKA swarm mode), and Apache Mesos. These orchestration platforms typically include several components that provide six essential capabilities that encourage broader enterprise adoption.
K8s has quickly dominated developer mindshare and adoption. K8s is not only a popular open source project run by an independent foundation and famous for its Google heritage; it’s also a production-grade container orchestration platform that is useful for a broad range of container-based application architectures. K8s is quickly becoming as popular as Docker itself, and for good reason.
The vibrant K8s ecosystem is growing and changing quickly. Enterprise architects must understand the K8s ecosystem. Commercial solution providers, enterprise customers, service partners, and open source organizations from around the world are improving K8s itself and building complementary products. New entrants are joining the market and vying for position at a rapid pace.

Aaliyanas little piggy nose and pout isn’t the only thing that impersonates mommy. Weather she’s down on her knees praying next to me and mumbling her lips along or sitting on the couch enjoying late night desserts, it’s safe to say- Mama is under constant observation.
It never seizes to amaze me how quickly she catches onto things without me sitting there and spelling it out for her, step-by-step. As one would assume you do with a child. I never know how or when she picks up my words and habits.
She’ll pretend to poke her little eyes when she gets her hands on my contact case. Then there’s the horrific application of lipstick as soon as she gets her hands on my makeup bag. How does she know the powder brush goes on the cheeks, and the eyeshadow on the eyelids? I didn’t teach her that!
Not only is this vigilant tot picking up every single habit, but my actions are constantly molding her perception. Every fall and bump is proceeded with a long pause. Waiting for MY reaction.
Occasionally her excitement for her fluffy slippers overpowers her motor skills. She’ll run over as fast as possible as soon as she sees me slip mine on, and fall flat on her bum. I glance over to make sure she’s ok and as hard as it is for me to resist cuddling my baby, I look the other way and let her find her feet on her own. If I gasp and rush to her assistance, she’s most likely going to think something big and bad just went down. If I don’t make it an issue, it’s not an issue, and it’s on to the fluffy paws and flapjacks.
I’m going to be honest, this constant surveillance isn’t ALL bad. It’s been forcing mama to be on her best behaviour, for the next few years anyway, haha! It’s been challenging giving up some habits that I definitely don’t want to pass onto her. Like my excessive sweet tooth. I’ve had those days where I’ve consumed more sugar than food. I’m not proud of it. It’s been a life long struggle.
So when that sweet tooth calls and I know she’s watching, I’ll grab a piece of fruit or find a distraction till it passes. But nothing quite diverts me from a plate of fresh, moist cookies like that yummy cheek of hers. It’s scrumptious enough to satisfy my sweet tooth better than ANY amount of chocolatey goodness. Gimme!

Cricket Magazine - www.CricketMagKids.com - I'm backkkkkk!
Okay, so just a disclaimer, I'm not some sort of eco-maniac. I just think about this a lot.
Recently, a lot has been going on with the usage of plastic/unnecessary waste, and it's kind of been making me think; what if there was some sort of way I could help at all? So in my school, Quill (that's her cber name, but we're friends irl) and I tried to get a real set of silverware so we reduced the amount of plastic utensils we use. Sadly, that didn't really work out, but I tried to think of another community to bring this onto. Since most of the kids in my school really don't care about this kind of stuff, I figured I'd come back here to the nice writing people online, who actually care about a thing or two happening in the world. I was wondering if anyone wanted to start a new sort of trend thing, at least on here, saying ways we can minimize the amount of plastic we use in our day-to-day lives.
I'm very interested! I never buy plastic silverware. I don't mind washing the real utensils. If we do get plastice somewhere, we wash and save them to be reused. We recycle plastic, glass, newspapers, magazines, etc.
I just recently learned that scientists are now making mouthful-sized capsules that are composed of biodegradeable/edible algae-made skins and hold water. They're also doing the same thing with shampoo and conditioner, with water-soluable skins. Eventually we may not even need plastic bottles!
How much does the average family spend on Easter?
submitted by The Yolkster, age 8 eggyears, Welcome CRACK!
I don't know, but I'd guess... $50? I don't know, I don't celebrate Easter! Happy Passover, everyone!
At my house we take plastic silverware to school, but like Admins, we wash the utensils. We also use plastic grocery bags as garbage bags and use cloth bags at the store when we remember.
Have you ever read 50 Simple Things Kids Can Do To Save the Earth?
I have a copy, though I don't know where it is. It's the book that made me realize just how much pollution is in the world, and how easy it is to fix it!
I do bring my own utensils to school, and I don't use plastic bags or bottles too. I just really wish other people would try and change their habits too, and no, I've never heard of that book. I'll have to check it out!
My family owns like four pairs of plastic utensils, but we don't use them much, maybe once every three months? Anyway, we use a lot of metalware.
Oh hey! I remember you! *Tackle hugs* Welcome back!
I'm homeschooled, so no lunchroom plastic utensils for me, but my family almost always uses real silverware unless we're having some sort of event or something where it would be inconvenient to have everyone use silverware. But that almost never happens, so.
We also recycle, and compost too actually. There's a company called Garbage to Garden in Portland, I don't know if they're outside of Maine, but they pick up compost every week like normal trash. So my family isn't super wasteful or anything. I was just doing yardwork this morning, cleaning up our front/side-of-house garden thing, and there's so much trash that's blown into our yard over the winter! Our backyard has some various chip bags and things and I found several Halloween candy wrappers and some bits of plastic bag in our front garden. *Shudders* I cleaned it up, but it was gross. Ick...litter.
Hey! Don't remember you, but welcome back! I... erm... use a lot of plastic. Oops. My brother is against it though, he tries not to use plastic when he doesn't have to. Coyote.
We compost too . . . . though maybe not in the same way.
Litter. Is. The. Worst. Like, whenever I see it on the side of the road, I just want to clean it up immedieately. Also, how did it get there in the first place? Do people actually throw it out the window or somethin?????
I'm somewhat proud of the fact that Portland, Maine actually has a port. On. The. Sea. People.
I'm pretty sure some other CBer lives in Portland, OR, I think it might have been Lighting but I haven't seen her around in a long time.
Yeah, I'd lke to try composting, but I don't think my family would be down for it. I feel like we never really think abiut how much plastic we use on a daily basis. Right now I'm literally in the cafeteria at my school eating lunch. I had a sandwich in a plastic bag, and I have a plastic continer of pringles, and a plastic fork for my strawberries. Whoops. And I've been doing really well with not using plastic. Dang-it.
What really bothers me is that at my school, everyone used to use these nice, big reusable plastic trays for our lunches. But now, the staff has been too lazy to wash them and only the younger kids get to use those. Us older kids have to use SMALLER paper compostable trays that are floppy and don't fit as much food.
Ton says eoot. I googled it. everything on one touch? what?

When it comes to personality types, people typically identify as one of two things: an introvert or an extrovert. These are considered opposites, and when they get together, well, things can get kind of complicated, since it’s hard for one type to fully understand the other. It’s especially hard for extroverts if they don’t know what being an introvert means. There are some things all introverts want all extroverts to know, and if extroverts do know these things, getting along will be so much easier.
So, what is an introvert? It’s often misunderstood — for example, many assume introvert means the same thing as shy. Actually, the labels introvert and extrovert are more about what energizes people rather than how they act around others. Introverts gain energy from being alone, while extroverts gain energy from being around other people. It’s not always about how an introvert acts in social situations, it’s more about what they do when they need to recharge.
1. Sometimes we need time to ourselves. It’s not personal.
The biggest difference between introverts and extroverts is that introverts gain energy from being alone. After being around a lot of people for an extended period of time, introverts need time to themselves to recharge and feel more relaxed. Being around tons of people for a long time drains us.
As an introvert, I find that as much as I love a weekend away with my girlfriends, I need to come home and spend hours alone to feel more like myself again. So if you notice that the introvert in your life is asking for some time to themselves, it probably has nothing to do with you.
2. Being quiet doesn’t mean we aren’t enjoying ourselves.
Introverts are often more quiet and reserved, although of course there are exceptions. We tend to be a little more introspective, and we like to observe. You might notice that when you’re out with an introvert, they aren’t saying much. That usually doesn’t mean they’re not having fun — it probably just means they’re taking in their surroundings. Introverts can be quiet while still having a great time, wherever we are! When we have something to say, we’ll say it.
3. It’s not that we hate socializing, it’s just that we can’t do it every single day.
Introverts often get a bad rap as people who hate to be around others and just want to stay home under the covers all day, every day. This isn’t true. Not all introverts hate socializing, and not all introverts are terrible at talking to others. Introverts just don’t like to socialize all day, every day. We need a break after a while.
4. We don’t love parties. We just don’t. Sorry!
Okay, it’s true: introverts generally aren’t huge fans of a big party. Introverts prefer to be around smaller groups of people, like a few close friends, that allow us to have actual conversations. We don’t particularly love making small talk with strangers all night, or being surrounded by lots of people in close spaces. Sure, plenty of introverts go to parties and have fun (but again, it’s about moderation). Most of us can handle them in small doses, and sometimes we’ll have a great time. But if given the choice, we’ll generally pick a night in with friends rather than a night at the club.
5. We hate to be interrupted.
One thing you should know about introverts: We don’t love to be interrupted when we’re doing something. Introverts are deep thinkers who are often very intense and get very into whatever it is we’re thinking about. When we get interrupted, even if it seems like we’re not doing anything important, it’s often quite jarring. Try to be respectful of our space.
6. We’re not shy, we just don’t like small talk.
Introverts don’t love small talk. That doesn’t mean we’re all bad at it, or that we’ll refuse to do it — some introverts are very good at small talk. It’s just that we don’t like it, and we tend to try to avoid it. So if we seem awkward, or we’re quiet instead of trying to fill the silence, it’s not about you.
The other misconception is that introverts are shy. That’s not true. Not all introverts are shy. Introversion and shyness aren’t the same thing.
7. We don’t want to stay out all night, and it has nothing to do with you.
Like I already said, introverts need time to recharge in solitude and quiet. If an introvert goes out with friends or goes out to a party, chances are good they won’t stay out all night (although, again, there are exceptions). That’s because at a certain point, we get drained from being around other people and talking and being energetic. We need to get back home and recharge on our own. It doesn’t mean we didn’t have fun. It just means we’ve had enough.
8. You don’t need to pressure us to speak, you just need to be more patient.
Introverts usually don’t enjoy talking just to fill the silence. Introverts often think (quite a lot) before speaking, so it might take us longer to say something or join a conversation. A lot of times, this pause is met with people who encourage an introvert to speak up. Listen: If an introvert wants to speak, we usually will!
9. You can’t make us more extroverted.
As an introvert, I often find that extroverts will go out of their way to try to make me more like them. They’ll try to coax me out of my shell, try to talk me into being super social or speaking when I don’t want to. It’s kind of annoying, to be honest, and the truth is that no extrovert is ever going to make me — or any introvert — more extroverted. Let’s just all accept each other for who we are.
Once you understand these basic things about introverts, you can learn how to communicate better. And that’s always a good thing.

There’s an unspoken belief, particularly among perfume aficionados (like myself), that a perfume must be expensive in order to be good. I, for one, have always gone by the rule that you get what you pay for. There’s plenty of inexpensive (even cheap) perfumes that start out lovely but soon either disappear completely or dissolve into something so disastrous you can’t wait to take a shower.
Giorgio Blue by Giorgio Beverly Hills is one of those rare jewels that, despite being quite reasonably priced, is well-balanced, pretty, and somehow manages to last all day without overwhelming its wearer or offending those in the vicinity. For this reason, it’s a true beauty bargain. But Blue has other impressive qualities.
Giorgio Blue manages to pull off a feat few perfumes at any price point accomplish these days – it’s not particularly derivative or reminiscent of anything else on the market. It’s an aquatic white floral but doesn’t contain the most commonly used aquatic notes (think watery notes, watermelon, cucumber, etc.). Here the water essences are evoked by means of water hyacinth, juicy guava, musky essence and driftwood.
I’ve seen it compared to Aqua di Gio, but the latter is a very complex almost fussy perfume with a cacophony of notes mixed together (full review here). At such a low price, if you’re a fan of Aqua di Gio or aquatic florals, you may want to try this one for yourself.
Fragrancenet.com – Usually a very reliable vendor but sold out at time of this writing.
Notes: When first sprayed, you get hit with juicy orange and guava. But those quickly fade (as citruses so often do) and you’re notice something watery grounded by earthy moss and a very pronounced musk. As the fruits continue to dissipate, the white florals – jasmine, water lily, hyacinth and a fairly benign (to my nose at least) tuberose (which can if not tempered can ruthlessly overtake a fragrance); base notes are vanilla, musk, oak moss and driftwood. See below for additional detail on my own experience on the unfolding of the notes over wear-time.
Sillage: Moderate. 2 Sprays will get you a fragrance trajectory of around 2-4 feet depending on your body’s own chemistry, the weather, air pressure and environment, other scented lotions or products you apply, etc.
Longevity and Experience: This wears at least 6-8 hours (at least on my skin which eats fruity florals by breakfast). You’ll catch whiff’s of this all day, especially during moments of increased body heat (i.e. when your coworker does something that causes your temperature to raise). As it dries down, the musk and driftwood notes become more prominent. But you’ll still get occasional wafts of guava blended expertly with enough water lily, jasmine, and tuberose to feel bright and feminine but there also enough musk mixed in to warm things up and make the whole mélange feel a bit sexier, warmer and more summery somehow. It’s not a beachy fragrance per se, more like a romantic walk evening stroll by the lake.
The Bottle: The bottle is shaded blue cut glass with gold cap. The bottle will may not rival Viktor and Rolf’s BonBon but (IMO) it’s as pretty as any those crazy-expensive Bond No. 9 New York bottles!
Giorgio Beverly Hills burst onto the scene in the late 80s and faded almost as quickly. The company had all but disappeared from perfume lexicon as the early 2000s. That obscurity is a good thing for anyone preferring a unique personal fragrance instead of smelling exactly every other woman. Most recently the company was bought by Elizabeth Arden and Giorgio Blue was released in 2016, mercifully without any reformulation of changes to this magnificent and wonderfully hidden gem of fragrance.

From Lyndon Johnson’s closest domestic adviser during the White House years comes a book in which “Johnson leaps out of the pages in all his raw and earthy glory” (The New York Times Book Review) that’s been called “a joy to read” (Stephen Ambrose, The Washington Post Book World). And now, a new introductory essay brings the reader up to date on Johnson’s impact on America today.
Califano takes us into the Oval Office as the decisions that irrevocably changed the United States were being crafted to create Johnson’s ambitious Great Society. He shows us LBJ’s commitment to economic and social revolution, and his willingness to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. Califano uncorks LBJ’s legislative genius and reveals the political guile it took to pass the laws in civil rights, poverty, immigration reform, health, education, environmental protection, consumer protection, the arts, and communications.
President Lyndon Johnson was bigger than life—and no one who worked for him or was subjected to the “Johnson treatment” ever forgot it. As Johnson’s “Deputy President of Domestic Affairs” (The New York Times), Joseph A. Califano’s unique relationship with the president greatly enriches our understanding of our thirty-sixth president, whose historical significance continues to be felt throughout every corner of America to this day.
A no-holds-barred account of Johnson’s presidency, The Triumph & Tragedy of Lyndon Johnson is an intimate portrait of a President whose towering ambition for his country and himself reshaped America—and ultimately led to his decision to withdraw from the political arena in which he fought so hard.
THE FIRST CALL came on November 4, 1964. I was working as Special Assistant to Robert McNamara. My office at the Pentagon was directly across the hall from his. That morning The Washington Post and New York Times were on my desk, their headlines proclaiming Lyndon Johnson’s landslide over Barry Goldwater, 61 to 39 percent.
Moyers and Bundy were waiting in Moyers’s office. They said the President (whose only previous contact with me was a handshake in August 1964)2 wanted me to take on two tasks: administration headhunter and White House expert on Latin American affairs. Moyers said my experience with McNamara gave me good lines to top talent, and Bundy thought work I had done on Cuba, Panama, and the Dominican Republic gave me a grounding in Latin America. I told them I would have to talk to McNamara. They urged me to wait until the President had spoken to him. I said I couldn’t.
“I’ll have to talk to McNamara,” I responded, excited but nervous and unsure about my boss’s reaction.
At the White House Moyers and Valenti said that my new job would be to prepare legislative programs, manage domestic crises, and act as a general-utility infielder on the domestic scene.
When I got back to the Pentagon, McNamara told me to come right to his office.
An hour later, McNamara called me in to tell me that he had convinced the President he should let me coordinate economic policy.
“What a job!” I gasped.
“It’s not a job. With this President, it’s not even a job description. It’s an opportunity. You’ll have to prove yourself to him to turn it into a job,” McNamara said.
I said I was planning to have dinner with a friend from Panama who was already on his way to the restaurant. I thought I’d best skip the White House dinner. Moyers understood.
So went my first lesson: this President did not like people to say no to him.
At dinner,5 Johnson listened intently as each academic spent a few minutes outlining the most serious problems and opportunities facing America and the President. Remarkably, at least in retrospect, the Vietnam War was scarcely mentioned. Everyone was confident we could solve our domestic problems. In only nineteen months after assuming the presidency, Johnson had made enormous progress on the Democratic party’s progressive agenda.
The President, with whom I had not yet spoken, introduced me as a member of his staff. On my way out, he said he expected to see me at the LBJ Ranch for the weekend. As I drove home, I thought about my only direct experience of Lyndon Johnson in action.
On October 14, 1964, it was reported that Walter Jenkins, a long-time Johnson aide (as close to a White House chief-of-staff as the President ever tolerated), had been arrested a week earlier for making advances to a sixty-one-year-old man at the downtown Washington YMCA. The story broke less than three weeks before the presidential election and promised to fuel Goldwater’s charges of corruption and improprieties in Johnson’s past.
Two military officers on my staff were still around, Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Haig and an Air Force lieutenant colonel. Rather than put a young Air Force officer in the impossible position of standing over a general in his own service, I sent Al Haig to monitor the Xeroxing.
As soon as we had a copy, McNamara and I rushed to Moyers’s White House office. As Bundy, McNamara, and I gathered around a speaker phone, Moyers called Valenti at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, where the President was speaking to the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner. Lady Bird Johnson was preparing a sympathetic statement supporting Walter Jenkins and his family.6 When the President got on the phone, he expressed his suspicion that Jenkins had been framed or set up by the Republicans. He asked McNamara to read him texts of Jenkins’s Air Force Reserve fitness reports signed by the commanding officer of the Capitol Hill Air Force Reserve unit. One was more glowing than the next.
Moyers and Bundy smiled. McNamara and I exchanged glances. The commanding officer who had signed Jenkins’s glowing reports was Air Force Reserve Major General Barry Goldwater.
I got up at 3 A.M. on Saturday, July 10, 1965, to shower, pack, dress, and drive to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington to catch a presidential Lear Jet. Valenti, his wife Mary Margaret, and speechwriter Richard Goodwin were also on board. We arrived at the ranch just after 9 A.M. Johnson met us at the airplane and sent us off to our rooms. Then Mrs. Johnson offered us scrambled eggs and spicy deer sausage. When I demurred, she said, “I suggest you eat something now, young fellow. You never know with Lyndon what time the next meal will be.” After breakfast we changed into bathing suits and joined the President at the pool, where he was swimming. His secretary, Victoria (Vicky) McCammon, sat on the side with her feet in the water.
“It would be an honor and a privilege,” I called back.
In the early afternoon, the President, with me next to him in the front seat, took his white Lincoln convertible, top down, for a drive around the ranch. Johnson had changed to dry trunks and a clean shirt, but I was still in my one pair of wet trunks and a knit shirt.
It was incredibly hot; the dust clouds made it hard to breathe. But there was relief. As we drove around, we were followed by a car and a station wagon with Secret Service agents. The President drank Cutty Sark scotch and soda out of a large white plastic foam cup; I had a Coca-Cola. Periodically, Johnson would slow down, sometimes stop for a moment, and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon. There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch, and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon. Then the first agent would run the refilled cup up to LBJ’s outstretched arm and waiting hand, as the President’s car moved slowly along.
As he drove, the President would call his ranch foreman, Dale Malechek, on the car’s Motorola radiophone.
As we passed from one section of the ranch to another, Secret Servicemen would jump out of the car in front and rush to open gates so we could drive through without stopping.
We stopped at LBJ’s birthplace, a small two-room building with a tiny barn behind, drove back for a fast ride on the airstrip and again around the ranch, ending at the ranch house around 2 P.M. Shortly afterward, we boarded a helicopter for the Haywood Ranch, another of Johnson’s properties, and Coca-Cola Cove at Lake LBJ, part of a chain of artificial lakes set in central Texas, thanks to the persistence of Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson. We lunched and spent the afternoon and early evening on a thirty-seven-foot yacht. From lake-front properties and in small motorboats, wire-service photographers constantly sought to take pictures. Secret Service agents in black speedboats tried to keep the photographers away. Johnson took care to drink out of an opaque plastic cup, usually below deck, whether it was filled with scotch or Fresca.
We went ashore briefly at a house on the lake that the President called “Jack and Mary Margaret’s,” after the Valentis. As we walked through the house, the President stopped in a bright shaft of sunlight in the living room. He unbuckled his belt and twisted toward his right side as he lowered his pants and pushed down his undershorts, trying to look at his increasingly bare right buttock.
“Something hurts back there,” he said, now exploring the surface with his right hand. “Is that a boil?” he asked me as I stood to his right. Astonished, I looked—“peeked” would be a better word—and gulped, “Yes.” “I’ll have to get Dr. [presidential physician George] Burkley to look at it,” the President said matter-of-factly as he tucked in his shirt, pulled up his pants, and buckled his belt.
In the late afternoon, the President took me waterskiing. He drove his twenty-foot gold-colored speedboat up and down the lake and under a bridge with concrete supports about every ten yards. He drove faster and faster, zigging and zagging around the lake and between the concrete pillars. The faster he drove and twisted, the more I was determined to stay up. He threw me once. He was going so fast that I thought I’d split apart when I flew off the skis and hit the water. Determined to prove myself, I got back up and managed not to fall off again.
The car splashed into the water. I started to get out. Just then the car leveled and I realized we were in an Amphicar. The President laughed. As we putted along the lake then (and throughout that evening), he teased me. “Vicky, did you see what Joe did? He didn’t give a damn about his President. He just wanted to save his own skin and get out of the car.” Then he’d roar.
Around 9 P.M. we went to the Haywood ranch house for dinner. I was still in my wet bathing suit. The others, more experienced in LBJ’s ways, had brought along a change of clothing. Near midnight we returned by chopper to the main ranch house, and the President asked me to come to his office. For half an hour, he handed me one paper after another, directing me to give them, along with his instructions, to various White House aides or cabinet members. When he finally retired, White House aide Jake Jacobsen gently took the papers from me and said he would carry out the President’s instructions. I went to bed, almost twenty-four hours after I’d gotten up in Washington.
Life at the ranch would always be unpredictable. We never knew when we would work or play. In the pool, on the boat, during a meal, the President might give us an order to do something or to get an agency or department head to take some action. Breakfast was always early and on our own, but lunch could be anywhere from one to four o’clock; it might be at the LBJ Ranch, on the boat, or at one of the Johnsons’ other ranches. The President usually took a nap, which could last anywhere from thirty minutes to a couple of hours. Dinner might be at eight or midnight and its location was just as uncertain. On Sundays we had no idea whether we would return that evening or Monday morning, afternoon, or evening, and we often departed on less than an hour’s notice. Mrs. Johnson displayed ceaseless patience in accommodating her husband’s spur-of-the-moment style.
That first Sunday, Johnson and I attended separate services, he at the First Christian Church in Johnson City and I at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fredericksburg. Back at the ranch, Johnson held a press conference to name Major Hugh Robinson as his new Army aide. I had interviewed several black Army officers for the job only a month before and had recommended Robinson.7 He became the first black military aide to a U.S. President.
We lunched at 3 P.M., the President napped until 6 P.M., and then decided to spend the night in Texas, so we spent the early evening driving around the LBJ and Lewis ranches.
After dinner, the President took me on a walk to see his third cousin, Oreale Ruth Keele Bailey. Cousin Oreale lived in a small frame house on the LBJ Ranch. The President took care of her. She was about seventy-seven years old and suffered mild dementia and hearing loss. Outside the house, Johnson shouted to her and then went in and sat on her bed. He talked to her loudly, teased her gently, laughed with her, hugged her, and lifted her off her feet. Cousin Oreale loved it.
Often I have felt the utter futility of words; never more than now when I would wish my boy and his bride the highest and truest happiness together. That I love you and that my fondest hopes are centered in you, I do not need to assure you, my own dear children. . . .
Beyond “Congratulations, Congressman” what can I say to my dear son in this hour of triumphant success? . . . I love you; I believe in you, I expect great things of you.
As a White House car took me home, I pondered the impossibility of preventing a leak. Thirty or more White House correspondents had seen me with the President on Lake LBJ, at his Sunday press conference, at his boyhood home, and in Johnson City.
McNamara’s advice was on the mark. It didn’t take long in Lyndon Johnson’s White House to realize that for the President a minute was well spent, an encounter enjoyable, a day good, an evening memorable, only if it contributed to his goals. He wanted that same intensity from his staff. They had to be reachable and under his control at all times.
The telephone was Johnson’s chosen instrument.I He installed direct lines to his top assistants from the Oval Office (both desk and coffee table) and his bedroom. This line was easily distinguishable from the clear buttons on our phone consoles not only by its red color, but by the letters POTUS (President of the United States) and by the fact that when the button lit up our phones emitted a constant single ring until they were answered. These POTUS lines easily earned the term “hot.” If there was a slight delay in picking up, the President conveyed the impression that the phone hadn’t been answered promptly enough. He was invariably annoyed if any of us were not at the other end to answer.
Soon after I arrived at the White House, around eight o’clock one morning, Johnson called on my POTUS line. Down the hall from the Oval Office, my office had its own adjoining bathroom, which is where I was when he called. My secretary, Peggy Hoxie, picked up. “He’s not here, Mr. President,” she answered a little nervously.
“Where the hell is he?” the President asked.
“He’s in the bathroom, Mr. President,” Peggy responded.
“Isn’t there a phone in there?” Johnson asked incredulously.
“No, Mr. President,” she responded, just as incredulously.
Within minutes, as I came out of the bathroom, Peggy was standing in my office, a little shaky, with two Army Signal Corps technicians from the White House Communications Agency. “The President wants a phone installed in your John immediately, sir,” one of them said. I shrugged my shoulders, smiled, and surrendered. The phone, complete with POTUS line, was installed and functioning in less than an hour.
On one Sunday morning the President called while I was at mass at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown. When I arrived home and got the message, I returned the call. After asking me if I had prayed for him (I had, but not as hard as I prayed for myself), the President told me I should never be out of telephone touch with the White House. I said I understood that, but it was only for an hour. Then he said, “The reason they have those Motorola radiophones in White House cars is so that I can get you at any time.” From now on, he instructed me, when you go to church on Sunday, go in a White House car, and sit in the back of the church. Then, “if your President ever needs you,” the driver can go in and quietly get you out so you can talk on the phone. So from then on, a White House limousine waited for me when I went to mass. The President, however, never called me out of church.
The President’s desire to control his staff extended to the way we dressed. He never hesitated to tell secretaries what colors or styles most became them, and sometimes he even selected dresses for them. On at least one occasion, he told Juanita Roberts, his senior secretary, that “all the girls in [her office] needed more hair spray.”13 He loved selecting designer dresses for his daughters, Lynda and Luci, and for his wife.
Mrs. Johnson looked at me and then at her husband, and said, “Maybe Joe likes his tie the other way, darling.” With that, she had made it clear, nicely but quite firmly, that the President had overstepped.
I learned fast that Johnson used every waking minute of every day. He’d start around 6:30 or 7, going through several newspapers, watching the morning television shows, reading overnight cables and the Congressional Record, with paper clips attached to passages that referred to his programs and to speeches he’d had us plant with members of Congress in support of his policies. He ate breakfast in bed, drinking several cups of tea and giving orders to one of his aides, in the early years Jack Valenti, then Jake Jacobsen or Marvin Watson, and in the last year, Larry Temple or Jim Jones. One of them would arrive each morning to be available from the moment the President awoke. He spent much of this early-morning time on the phone with cabinet officers, especially Secretary of State Dean Rusk and McNamara, and any others of us who were working on problems of the moment.
After 8 A.M., other aides would gather at the President’s bedside when they had matters of pressing importance. If Mrs. Johnson had not gotten out of the couple’s big fourposter before aides began arriving, she would patiently lie there next to him, bed jacket on, covers modestly pulled up to her chin. Extraordinarily for a man with such a large ego and intense sense of mission, LBJ deeply loved his wife. He liked to have her close by and, always accommodating, she made herself appear as comfortable as she could, though we all sensed how awkward she must sometimes have felt. Eventually, Mrs. Johnson would say, “Now you boys look the other way,” or “Now you gentlemen get out of here just for a minute,” so that she could exit to the privacy of her dressing room next door.
Johnson would continue working with one or two aides throughout his morning toilet. He’d get out of bed, disrobe, get into his high-pressure shower, bringing the aide into the bathroom outside the shower as he continued to discuss whatever was at hand. He would be talking as he emerged drying himself and continue, standing naked as he shaved, brushed his teeth with an electric toothbrush, and combed his hair. Each morning, he’d take a small plastic container filled with pills-, mostly for his heart (he’d suffered a massive heart attack in 1955), toss the contents into his mouth, and go on speaking with them still there, making his point before washing them down with water.
Johnson worked in the Oval Office and presided at various White House ceremonies from late morning until lunch, which could be anywhere from 1 P.M. to late afternoon. After lunch, he would take a nap, usually lasting about forty-five minutes to an hour, for which he would undress and put on fresh pajamas. “The only way to relax is to peel off all your clothes and make believe you’re going to bed for the evening,” he told me.
He’d awake from his nap refreshed. Sometimes he would call to ask, “What’s going on? Who’d you have lunch with? What’re you doing?” Or to see if I had done what he’d asked earlier that day, or to issue new instructions. Then he’d shower and return to the White House offices, where he worked until late in the evening. Dinner, frequently shared by the aides he was working with when he got hungry, could be anywhere from 8:30 until after midnight.
Dinner would of course be earlier if there was a White House social event, which he sometimes turned into a working session.14 At a stag affair for top executives of Fortune 500 companies, with a sprinkling of celebrities, including actors Gregory Peck and Hugh O’Brian (TV’s Wyatt Earp), Treasury Secretary Henry (Joe) Fowler explained the President’s “speaker-writer” exercise to the guests. A basket with slips of paper would be passed around each table. Each guest was to draw a slip; one would be marked “Speaker,” the others would be marked “Writer.” The President would call on each table’s “speaker,” who was to rise and tell LBJ what was on his mind. The others at the table were to write the President later. Johnson promised to read all the letters (and he did).
After dinner, the President called on the speaker from each table. Some urged action on the economy, others supported the President on Vietnam, others offered help with education or the unemployed. When each had finished, the President led the applause.
Shortly after midnight, the President took Peck, O’Brian, and me up to his bedroom. We were served drinks, then the President stripped naked for his evening massage. As he lay on his massage table, he read memos from his night readingII aloud, talked, and joked, sometimes raucously, in high spirits. At 1 A.M. Lady Bird appeared in her nightgown. Seeing us there, she started to back out, but Johnson waved her in to “Say hello” to Peck and O’Brian, which she did with remarkable grace, and then left. As he became drowsy from the late hour and the massage, Johnson finally motioned us out and called Lady Bird in.16 He relished his wife’s pillow talk and was lonely when she was not there during the night.
I. The sculptor Jimilou Mason had such a hard time getting Johnson to stay off the phone and sit still that she finally did a piece of the President running, holding the base of a phone in one hand and the receiver up to his ear in the other.
II. Each night, Johnson would have on his bed night reading often exceeding one hundred pages, neatly wrapped in big folders usually tied with ribbon. The night reading included messages to Congress and speeches to edit, and scores of memos from aides with decisions to be made by checking lines (Approve—, Disapprove—”) or writing, “See me,” “Call me,” or some question, order, or epithet. He insisted that each memo bear the time as well as the date of writing. Because he went through his night reading with highly sharpened soft lead pencils, we could measure the level of his anger or impatience by the number of broken points apparent on any notes he sent back. Over the years I worked in the White House all but a handful of the hundreds of memos I sent him for night reading were acted on and returned to me the following morning.
"Taking on a character like LBJ was as daunting asone might imagine. This book helped me shape the role in a way that onlysomeone who actually knew the 36th president could. The book containsinsightful and honest details of this larger-than-life character, and allowedme to see the greatness of his impassioned hope, and the minutia of histroubled soul. He was indeed a Triumph and a Tragedy. Thank you Joe, forbringing him to life for me and millions of others."
"Just watching Johnson wheel and deal through Califano's eyes makes a rousing good story. Johnson's successors in the White House must still salivate at the kind of arm-twisting, ball-busting tactics that permitted the President to sweep through his legislative package."
"Joe Califano...had a ringside seat for LBJ's amazing success and dizzying descent. His highly entertaining and thoughtful memoir is the best description of the inner workings of the Johnson White House I have ever read and LBJ--inspiring, terrifying, funny and tragic--comes alive in a way no other writer has managed."

Apologies for the lateness of this week's update. It's uploading now and will be published tomorrow morning. It's a pretty good one, I think... definitely different from anything that's come before.
So, why is it late? Well, I've been busy. Busy planning, and today executing, our first ever shoot in front of a live studio audience. Yup... ten (!) contestants competing for clothes and forfeits in front of a cheering audience of about forty people, including one lucky guy who got to come up on stage and play against one of the girls. Good times, good times. Coming soon.

From floor plans to choosing the colours of walls, and flooring type to purchasing the furniture, deciding the interior design for your home can be a tricky decision, mainly because you’ve got so many options to choose from, while keeping in mind your requirements and more importantly the budget.
Choosing the right type of flooring for your home or office is one of those difficult, yet important decisions. Surprisingly, people spend more time in mulling over the colour of their walls as compared to choosing the type of floors that they are going to use. Maybe, because they are not aware of many different options which are available, or maybe because they have no idea how big of a role flooring type can play on the overall look and feel of your home.
While choosing the type of the floor, following are some important considerations that you must take into account to make sure you are making a well-informed decision.
Cost is of course the first and the foremost consideration. There’s a world of difference when it comes to the cost or expense for different types of floors. For example hardwood floors can be quite expensive, while carpeting can turn out to be a cheaper solution. Similarly, cost will fluctuate as you go for other options like stone, marble tiles, vinyl, laminate, or bamboo flooring. When comparing prices, make sure that you’re comparing the actual quotes that you’ve got from the contractor and it includes the cost of installations or setting up the floor. Also, keep the durability factor in mind. A pricey but hard-wearing floor that will continue to serve for years is better than cheap option that will start to wear off in a matter of some years.
Appearance is the second most important consideration. Floors can add so much to the overall look and the feel of your rooms. When it comes to the ambience, hardwood floors will have an edge over other types, but that doesn’t mean ceramic tiles or carpets cannot give the desired results. The thing is that you need a floor that will complement the design and look you are going for. Luckily, almost all flooring types are available in various designs and colours, and you will find one that goes with your preferred colour scheme and style.
Apart from the installation cost, you also need to keep the maintenance cost in mind. For example, carpets are quite cheap and easy to set up, however getting it cleaned or washed can be quite difficult. Similarly, while hardwood floors are unassailable when we are going for the wow factor as far as appearance is concerned, however, you cannot simply wash or mop it with water, the way you can wash ceramic tiles or concrete floors.
Next on the list is the durability factor. Unless you are using the carpets, you wouldn’t be able to change your flooring very often. Your floor will be taking all kinds of load, hits, and scratches, so the material needs to be strong enough to stand the test of time and serve you for a long time to come. Stone, concrete, or hardwood floors are considered to be some of the most long lasting floors.
When all is said and done, it will come down to your own needs and long term plans. If you are looking to move out from a home or office after a short period of time, you’d not want to invest in an expensive option like hardwood. Similarly, having kids, pets, or old people in family will also have an impact on your final choice. Also, the type of room will also be a deciding factor, for example, carpets or even hardwood floors wouldn’t be a consideration when you are looking to set up kitchen or bathroom floors.

This post is definitely on point. Those tumblr memes that say you’re lapping everybody on the couch, or little progress is still progress are so true.
“Little bit of something > Lotta bit of nothing.
We all know that life has a tendency to knock us off of our workout routine. Sometimes we are able to get back on the right track immediately, but sometimes…just sometimes we stay off track for a little longer than we would have hoped. So how do we succeed? How can we reach our fitness goals when this pesky thing called living keeps getting in our way?

They are more common that even doctors believed, and are likely to be missed — unless you know what to look for or check an EKG.
Heart attacks occur when the heart receives little or no oxygen-rich blood to nourish the tissues of the heart muscle. This causes heart muscle damage and may cause scarring that can lead to future problems with heart and circulatory health.
Silent heart attacks are more common than people realize. In this study, about 45% of the heart attacks that occurred were silent.
Problems within the coronary arteries that nourish the heart muscle — blockages, atherosclerosis — are the usual sources of this oxygen-deprived state. Most commonly, a blockage from build-up of plaque is the underlying reason. Less commonly, a spasm of the artery causes a temporary stoppage in blood flow.
The severity of a heart attack depends on the amount of heart muscle that is deprived of oxygen and its location. The results can be partial to complete recovery, ongoing disability or death.
Chest pain or discomfort usually in the center or left side of the chest. The discomfort typically lasts for more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back. It can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain. It also can feel like heartburn or indigestion. The feeling can be mild or severe.
Upper body discomfort, pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, shoulders, neck, jaw or upper part of the stomach (above the belly button).
Shortness of breath. This may be the only symptom, or it may occur before or along with chest pain or discomfort. It can happen at rest or during activity.
People experiencing heart attacks require urgent medical attention to have the best chance for recovery. The presence of underlying health conditions such as diabetes can influence the outcome of heart attacks, as does the time from heart attack to treatment.
Treatment often involves unblocking the clogged arteries, perhaps by the insertion of a stent. Long-term interventions include coronary artery surgery, medications and lifestyle changes to improve overall heart health and prevent recurrences.
Of course, for timely treatment to take place, patients and their doctors need to realize a heart attack has occurred. This is not always the case.
People experiencing heart attacks require urgent medical attention to have the best chance for recovery.
Silent heart attacks, those that go unrecognized but still cause heart damage, are common, a recent study confirms. These are heart attacks that may be without symptoms or have non-specific symptoms that are not recognized by the patient as related to the heart. The person may attribute them to fatigue, indigestion, flu, pulled muscle or even anxiety; and so they may not seek medical care at the time.
That you have had a heart attack may not be recognized until you have an EKG (electrocardiogram) showing certain characteristic abnormalities. (Once a heart attack occurs, the tracing typically shows an abnormality called a Q wave.) This means that they have missed the opportunity for early, and potentially life-saving interventions.
Wake Forest School of Medicine researchers studied data on over 9400 individuals who had no cardiovascular disease at the start of the study. They followed their study patients regularly, starting in 1987, using EKGs performed at four follow-up visits (through 1998) to determine whether a silent myocardial infarction had occurred. They continued to follow the group for another 13 years to monitor their long-term cardiac health.
They found that from the first visit through the four surveillance visits, 317 (3.3%) of the participants developed silent heart attacks. Another 386 (4.1%) developed clinical myocardial infarction.
Both those who had both silent and clinical myocardial infarctions had an increased risk of death from coronary artery disease during the 13-year follow-up period.
Both the silent and clinical myocardial infarctions (CMI) were more common in men than in women. The rates of silent MIs (SMI) were similar for black and white individuals, but whites had a higher rate of CMI than blacks. Black women had more SMIs than CMIs, while white men had more CMIs.
More importantly, both those who had silent and clinical MIs had an increased risk of death from coronary artery disease during the 13-year follow-up period.
The findings make clear that silent heart attacks are more common than people realize. Among the participants in this study, about 45% of the heart attacks that occurred were silent. Those with both silent and clinical heart attacks are also at increased risk for future heart disease, disability and death.
The added danger is that when patients have silent heart attacks, they miss out on the benefit of medical interventions to decrease their short- and long-term cardiac risk. They are less likely to receive potentially life-saving treatment of blocked coronary arteries, appropriate medications, advice on lifestyle changes including diet and exercise, and stress management.
When a silent heart attack is missed, the person is also not counseled about the importance of sticking to medication regimens, managing any other underlying chronic health conditions they may have — such as diabetes and high blood pressure — or made aware of the subtle symptoms of cardiac incidents they should look for and seek prompt medical care for.
Both patients and providers need to be more aware of how common silent heart attacks are and more attentive to subtle signs of heart problems. The study is published in Circulation.

In the recent years, online shopping has evolved and you can almost purchase anything via the internet. Though initially internet was meant to make communication more effective, it has become a perfect platform to do all sorts of businesses and the convenience is awesome. Pharmacies too have not been left behind and there are lots of online pharmacies that come in handy especially during emergencies. They allow you to make your orders after which your orders can be delivered through shipping. We shall highlight for you some of the benefits of online pharmacies.
1. Convenience. Imagine a situation whereby you or your loved one falls sick in the middle of the night. Amid all the confusion and worry, online pharmacies allow you to make an order and get help right from your house. No need to worry about how you will get to your nearby medicine store to seek help. At the click of the mouse, you can get help. You save time and also money.
2. Simplicity and efficiency. The process of ordering your meds at an online pharmacy is much simpler compared to having to queue at a local pharmacy. There is no hassle since the delivery is also made efficient and you just have to wait for a given time and you will have your orders.
3. Another benefit of online pharmacies is that before one places an order, they can do the comparison over the internet. That means that a customer has a chance to check different online pharmacies on the internet and weigh their services before settling for one. This way, a client is able to get quality service at the most affordable prices.
4. Sometimes we get too busy with other things until we have no time to physically visit the pharmacy. We may also be too tired and have no one to send to the pharmacy. At such moments, online pharmacies save us from all the stress given that some medicine stores close at specific times and you cannot get their service past then.
5. Free delivery. Due to stiff competition from other online pharmacies, some online pharmacies will provide free delivery coupons to their clients.
6. Availability of a variety of medications. Unlike ordinary stores that have limited shelf space and thus limited products, it is very unlikely that you will miss any prescribed medication at an online pharmacy as most have a warehouse and are not limited by space.
7. Other than medication, some online pharmacies provide other related products such minerals and vitamins. They may also have medical tools for use by medical practitioners. This means that it is possible to purchase a variety of products from a single online pharmacy.
8. Privacy. You make your orders privately and you are also able to ask any questions regardless of how weird they may look to the world without the world knowing it. On top of it, you have no embarrassing moment while asking questions since your identity is anonymous.
Benefits of online pharmacies are so many that we may not exhaust them. All the same, like in any other business, there are also things you need to watch out for to avoid falling into the wrong hands in the internet.

If your big day is about the corner, then you have a lot of choices to make. There are bouquets and photographers to think about, the visitor checklist, what to wear, it goes on and on. 1 choice that ought to be creative and fun is what you decided about the wedding enjoyment.
What is really not mentioned is what kind of salt will be great to eat and use in cooking, and what kind ought to not be consumed. Salt is a key component for a wholesome body. It is a chemical compound, NaCl, or sodium chloride, that we cannot create ourselves.
JT: Do we need another reason? LOL It’s difficult not to melt when you hear the accent. But another attraction, for me at least, is the wit and humor of numerous British guys I’ve met. Extremely fast and dry, witty and ironic. Some individuals get it, some don’t. I practically cry with laughter via an episode of “Extras” and my husband just sits there, scratching his head. I guess it’s not for everybody.but it rocks my world. Along with the accent and some ruddy red cheeks!
There are several on-line players and all kinds of on-line music accessible and the nice thing about attempting it on-line is you can decide if it’s the right tune before you buy it.
Jack Brooks, Monster Slayer has to be one of his current very best and the whole movie feels acquainted however new. There is a story build-up for us to attach to rather of a random slaughter with a metal community soundtrack to sell the newest band; and the feast of old school special results is refreshing when you see so much inexpensive CGI on the Sci-Fi Channel scare-a-thons.
When you’re working on general workplace type tasks or home workplace type duties you only work with a small quantity of paper. But as a author the amount of paper is heading to improve radically. You’re going to have paper for your notes. You’re heading to have paper for your study. You’re heading to have paper for your styles. You’re heading to have paper for your sketches. All of this paper needs to be available to you when you are writing.
11. Each songs/videos are so difficult and extreme that I am certain they translate nicely into a reside environment using on a entire new life in front of a reside viewers. How does it make you really feel when the emotion and energy that you envisioned in the recording studio, come to lifestyle while playing in front of a crowd?
The 3rd solitary “Its Not Adore” had a great video clip of them carrying out on a flat bed truck. The guitar is excellent and Don Dokken sang his coronary heart out. Not every album has hits; there had been a few misses but consider absent the foolish lyrics and the songs spoke louder. Some unchecked tunes were, “Lightnin’ Strikes Once more”, “Don’t Lie To Me”. The final tune on the disc was “Till The Residing Finish” this song just ripped up my speakers; George Lynch must have busted his strings and had blood dripping from his hand following playing that tune. Dokken “Under Lock And Important” was the disc that all past efforts were calculated by but none of them attained the status this one did. I’m still rocking with Dokken; uncover what you skipped out on.

I am currently enrolled in a doctoral program in clinical psychology . I have been in therapy for a number of years and it has completely changed my life. My therapist is very good and completely believes in attributing psychological difficulties to actual childhood trauma. My therapy has progressed well and I have learned a tremendous amount about myself and my upbringing. I was physically and emotionally abused as a child (it’s still a bit difficult for me to express that) and I still mourn the loss of the child within me that had no real childhood. I came upon The Drama of the Gifted Child as part of an assignment for graduate school. In it I found confirmation and support for all the work I have gone through and continue to go through as part of my therapy. It is difficult to really believe something is true when your therapist is the only one saying such things and everyone else, including other therapists, are denying it. Your book showed me that there are others out there who see things the same way and empathize with what children such as myself have gone through. I am extremely grateful for your works of which I continue to read and gain much support and insight from. Your have done the psychology field a wonderful favor by taking a stand and publishing books about what you believe. Moreover, you have greatly helped humanity with your insight, empathy, willingness to share, and advocacy. For all of the above I thank you.
However, I am faced with a dilemma, I entered graduate school hoping to be trained in ways of thinking and providing therapy with the notion of actual childhood trauma and how parents inflict it in mind. Unfortunately, most of my classes are either very behaviorally oriented and ignore a lot of the emotional components of pathology or they are analytically oriented and focus on unconscious conflicts and drives. The supervision I receive when treating my clients is also focused on unconscious conflicts and drives. I would love to gain more knowledge and training in the areas of psychology that you have addressed in your books and articles and I have worked through in my therapy. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have for study, supervision, etc. Thank you in advance for your consideration and assistance.
A.M.: You are lucky to have the right therapist. My last articles (esp. on Indignation) and interviews (on this site) can also be helpful, as well as my other books, especially the last one: The Body Never Lies, the lingering effects of cruel parenting, Norton 2005.
