Doppelganger Circus Sideshow on "America's Got Talent"
By Sean Daly, AGTNews.com
You really gotta love Austin, Texas.? Even their worst acts are awesomely funny! Who'd have guessed that a circus act involving chainsaws, apples and a girl with pink hair could end up providing the biggest laughs of the night on "America's Got Talent"?
Enter?Doppleganger Circus Sideshow.? He?s 36, she?s 23.? They don?t tell us their names but say they met at a goth club and quickly discovered they ?had a lot of same interests.? Turns out, those interests involve jamming an apple into the girl?s mouth and carving it with a chainsaw.
?At first it looks like this guy if going to chop off her tongue -- but nerves quicky turn to laughter at the end of the trick when the girl comes down with a case of lockjaw!? Really.? We wouldn?t make this up.
?The medics are called and their chances of advancing are immediately dashed.
Controversy! Soldiers say Tim Poe is a fraud
?(The lockjaw) was the funniest part of this,? judge?Howard Stern?said.?If I were this girl?s parents I would get her away from him so quick.?
?And on we go to the real talent of the night:
Aurora Light Painters, 38 - 46 (Performance Artists)
This is one of those things you just have to see to really appreciate.? A group of six artists from San Francisco use colors lights as paint brushes and project their images onto a giant screen.? Howie Mandel quickly notes that this act is kind of like a cross between two of last season?s finalists --?Team iLuminate?and?The Silhouettes.
??I have never seen anything like this,? Howard praised. ?I like the originality.?
?These guys could give some competition to one of our favorite acts from Tuesday night, sand artist?Joe Castillo.??
Eric & Olivia, 20 (singer and guitarist)
Howard won?t let them do their bluesy acoustic cover of ?Moves Like Jagger,??first?dealing with?the question on everyone?s mind:? is their relationship, um...strictly business?? Well yes it is, the University of Texas students explain.?Then the drama.?Howie Mandel said they belong in a lounge and votes not to send them through.?Luckily, Howard and Sharon Osbourne are there to avert disaster and the un-couple are passed through to the next round.? As Howard reminds them:? ?What happens in Vegas...?
Andrew De Leon, 19 (Opera singer)
He looks like?Marilyn Manson?-- but sings like Jackie Evancho!? Where do they find these people?
?Andrew -- who is dressed all in black with spike dog collar-like wrist bracelets -- said he has always felt alienated and out of place. ??I was never interested in athletics or what everybody else in my family was interested in,? he tells the judges.? ?Singing was always an escape.?

NBC
Andrew De Leon on "America's Got Talent"
Joe Castillo's audition video
?But he?s self taught and has never sung for anyone before.?(Unless you count the multiple rounds of auditions for producers and casting folks).
?Anyway, he turns out to be a real rock star -- or as much of a rock star as an opera singer can be. ?I think my days of being shy and being an outcast have reached an end,? he said. The judges agree.
?I am desperately in love with you now,? Sharon said.?
?All these years, you never let the world see who you are or what you are.? Howie added. ?And it is not that you are good at anything.? You are great!?
Which act caught your eye on Tuesday night? Tell us on Facebook!

Article Directory :: Self-Improvement/Motivation Articles
There are various recovery programs which provide drug abuse help for those who show early signs of addiction or perhaps for addicts who have been dependent on their substance abuse for a long time. Such programs vary in treatment methods like introducing new techniques to addicts or focusing more on group therapy and weekend counseling. No matter what the methods such facilities use, an individual who's dependent on illegal narcotics have to find a suitable recovery center to help them undergo proper rehabilitation.
An addict who needs proper drug abuse help requires guidance and motivation from people whom they know and love. You can't force a drug user to change their ways, instead you need to convince them and motivate them so they can admit that they do need rehabilitation. Family and close friends are the ones who should inspire them to get the treatment they need in order to cure them of their dependency.
Addiction is not something which would just disappear from an individuals' frame of mind over time, people need to show concern for their friends or loved ones who have been under their addiction for quite some time. An addict who has been dependent on narcotics for a long time tend to be a bit difficult to rehabilitate simply because their dependency level and their dosage for drugs have increasingly grown which makes it hard to detoxify them. Such long term addicts require tedious and meticulous rehabilitation in order to effectively treat them off of their dependency.
There is also an addiction for ghb use in which this drug is more commonly utilized for a drug induced coma on patients who require a certain kind of treatment while they are under comatose. This drug is classified on the streets as an anti depressant and can also help with weight reduction. More and more people are slowly getting addicted to such a drug that in the us the number of fatalities from such narcotic rises every other day. An anesthetic drug like this is more commonly used by addicts who wish to feel a different kind of high. People who work out or want to lose weight use this drug to help them lose the weight they want as quickly as possible. This is a very dangerous drug and those who show early signs of addiction from it should have rehabilitation as soon as possible.

Stephen Quake, a prolific inventor whose application of physics to biology has led to breakthroughs in drug discovery, genome analysis and personalized medicine, has won the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize, a prestigious award for outstanding innovators.
?A big part of physics is trying to figure out how to measure things,? Quake, who is a professor of bioengineering and applied physics at Stanford University, told me. ?And so I get interested in a biological problem [and] figure out a way to measure it.?
Among his many inventions is the biological equivalent of the integrated circuit, so-called microfluidic large scale integration.
?I got interested in trying to automate biology the way the integrated circuit automated computation,? he said. ?And so you need a chip that, instead of having wires and transistors on it, has pipes and valves and pumps and things.?
?It is little miniaturized plumbing. It?s got up to tens of thousands of mechanical valves on a chip, and all kinds of plumber?s nightmares.?
Quake co-founded Fluidigm to commercialize the technology in 1999. The company generated $10.8 million in sales in the first quarter of 2012, Reuters noted.?
Applications of the technology are myriad, including Quake?s own work on single-cell genomics. Others have used it to help determine the structure of proteins, including for the Ebola virus and H5N1 influenza virus, for example.
Another Quake innovation is a non-invasive pre-natal test for Down syndrome which is based on analysis of blood taken from a mother?s arm, which includes fetal DNA.
?What we do is count molecules,? he explained.?
In the case of a?woman carrying a baby with Down syndrome, the test finds a ?slight excess of chromosome-21 molecules because the baby is putting in three copies of?chromosome 21 for every two copies of any other chromosome, whereas the mom is putting in two for two,? he said.
The test was commercially launched this year via Verinata Health and is expected to make riskier pre-natal tests such as amniocentesis obsolete.
?I think shortly we?ll be able to see essentially the whole genome,? Quake said.
The innovator is currently working on techniques to sequence the region of the genome that focuses on?a person?s immune system. Such techniques could have applications ranging from making?organ transplants easier?to treating?autoimmune disease. In 2012, he cofounded ImmuMetrix to commercialize applications of the technology.
Quake notes that ?virtually all? of his inventions were the fruits of collaborations, and he?advises any would-be innovator to find aspiring mentors to work with in their endeavors.?
He said he also reads widely ? ?across science and more broadly across the literature, because many of the ideas I get come from other areas.?
One more way Quake gets his creative?juices flowing is by climbing mountains to ski down them. He?s climbed and skied most of?Mount Shasta in California, and has?laid down?ski?tracks with a group of friends on Asahidake, an active volcano that's?the?highest peak on Hokkaido in Japan.
?It was awesome,? he said. ?What can be more fun than climbing and skiing and talking about science with your buddies??

Husband: ?I really miss you.?
Me: ?Thank you.?
My husband travels some for business and it?s become a really great thing. I?m not even going to explain myself because you either get it or you don?t. It seems that this past week been full of signs of independence and maintaining one?s true self throughout your relationship. This doesn?t mean to be this super-strong, no compromise type of person. What it means is not neglecting who you are by taking opportunities to be alone, to thrive without your husband.
I was watching The Bachelorette (recap HERE) and there was a moment when Emily, the Bachelorette, said that she is great with her husband traveling a lot? as long as she?s the one he?s missing when he?s gone. I get that completely. I was also watching The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet (it?s a great show on Lifetime ? episode HERE) and Olivia Wilde talked about the moment she realized her relationship was over and why that happened. What was the going theme for these to examples and even more that I happened upon was taking ?you? time. Learning how to live life solo, if even for a day. Clearly, I watch a lot of TV.
When my husband is gone, I tend to kick into overdrive. I like to get things in order. So often when the two of us are home, we are rushing around, our schedules conflict, there?s a ton of compromise and you?re always keeping each other updated on what you?re doing and what?s planned next. ?What time will you be home?? ?What?s for dinner?? ?So-and-so is having a get-together.? Should we go?? When the hubs is out of town, I create my own schedule. If it changes, no big deal. I learn new things because I don?t have someone to help me and I pretty much kick ass on the house. This past weekend, I completely gutted our linen closet and pantry. It? now looks like the pictures you see on Pinterest. It?s awesome! Lame example but it makes me happy.
I am, by no means, a relationship expert? but I would encourage you to spend some time with yourself. See what you are capable of. See what your likes and dislikes are. We are all growing. Every day, every month, every year. We change. When you are in a relationship, sometimes compromise includes letting go of your likes and dislikes. Remember to swing on back to those likes and dislikes. Don?t just let them go completely. However, those, too, will change. Who are you? What do you like? What makes you happy? Re-evaluate yourself. It?s actually really fun and invigorating.
I?m feeling recharged. How are you feeling?

Plus: Johnny Depp and Emma Stone get career awards, and 'Dark Knight Rises' footage makes its debut.
By Gil Kaufman
UNIVERSAL CITY, California — We're not sure how it happened, but at some point in the last year or so, Hollywood decided that archery was the archaic skill du jour. With movies like "The Hunger Games," "The Avengers" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" arming their characters with bows and arrows, someone was going to have to teach these actors how to handle their weapons.
Unfortunately, that man was Lester Boonshaft.
In a short film produced especially for the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards, J.J. Abrams and Jennifer Lawrence shared their experiences working with Boonshaft, played by the very dedicated Joel McHale.
"It's about taking all that focus and energy and releasing those juices in one explosion ... like diarrhea," said Boonshaft, sharing just one nugget of his archery skills.
But Boonshaft is not the fantastic coach that he makes himself out to be. "Lester Boonshaft was hired to be my archery teacher for 'The Hunger Games,' " Lawrence said. "Did I find it out that an archery teacher didn't know how to hold a bow and arrow? Yeah."
Abrams, one of the highest-profile directors working today, had his own negative things to say about Boonshaft. "There's this whole Klingon archery subplot in the new 'Star Trek' that I completely cut out so I didn't have to work with him," he said.
Boonshaft didn't mince words when it came to Abrams. "I love everything J.J. has done except for his films and TV shows."
But Boonshaft's offenses go beyond his lack of archery skill. "I made the mistake of giving Lester my phone number," Lawrence said. "At first, he would just call and give me tips about archery. Now, it's just this." She held up a cell phone screen too dirty for basic cable. "I don't even know what part of the body that is."
"That's my d---," Boonshaft said.
Regardless of what Abrams and Lawrence had to say about Boonshaft, he did offer Lawrence real advice on the set of "The Hunger Games." "Oh, it's me, Lester Boonshaft," said Lawrence, mockingly. "And if you hold the bow and arrow like this and put your shoulders back, it makes your tits look better."
"Was I wrong?" Boonshaft asked.
Jaw-dropping, heart-pounding, gut-busting moments galore. See what just happened at the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards!

OK, Information Technology, you win. ?You can have it. ?You?ve ruined it beyond recognition anyway. ?Only left?me a shell of a concept that, at one point, had so much to offer an organization. ?The ?it? I longingly refer to: ?change management and today?change management is dead because?the I and the T of information technology has killed it.

What? You've got change management covered? Ok. If you need me, I am available. Do call. Won't you? I can help ...
The change management that Information Technology (IT) advances is a limp version of the high school, sports, star Organization Development (OD) used to be. ?Change management was OD?s domain of excellence.
The concept, simple: ?how to intentionally manage change to meet objectives. ?Our business value.
Now? ?Now change management is a footnote, an add-on, a Frankenstein stitch to a hardware, software, and IT services rollout led by people who neither care to help their effort relate to people goals in the business nor care to know that behavior change, not product change, is change management
IT you have bastardized this concept. ?Worse. ?When IT has anything to do with change they turn change management into ? a process.
So much business value to provide. ?All that promise, wiped out by IT?s callous treatment of OD?s final, toe-hold to business. ?You, me, and the other lonely organization development practitioners are now modern-day, Maytag salesmen.
At one time, not-so-long-ago, me and my OD brethren held brief audience with business leaders. ?We made our pitch for why people mattered and in those 6 to 7 seconds we did have opportunity for end-user adoption and utility and business case benefit/cost analysis.
No longer. ?You! ?IT! ? You have slithered behind our backs to convince board rooms, and the C-level, and the VPs of business, and the operational directors that because you wield huge capital expenditure, you can manage the people side. ?After all, being responsible for so much funding, no fool would give you that much without confidence you would deliver as you said.
Somewhere you have convinced CFOs, COOs, CEOs, and investors that people adopt and love the hardware or software or policy for one of 3 reasons:
Oh I hear?on the wind that IT teams account for change management, but never do see a change management plan. ?Change management is not a plan or a process, but a promise.
I hear business directors make mention of the importance for change management for the project to succeed and announce they?ve assigned someone to take care of change through a timely email announcement at the proper time. ?A?top-down announcement is not change management.
But in reality, I am here to tell you?change management?dead and it is your fault.
Let?s look at this from a rational, not emotional, view. ?Let me take this to the people?s court of Google. ?I type change management into Google:
The concept, the theory, the principles, the process, the goal, the objectives. ?The whole lot. ?Ruined. ?I now leave meetings with nothing to do. ?I am told IT has change management covered. ?I feel like I have entered an alternative universe. ?Organization development is change management and we might get a trinket of a communication strategy somewhere near the end of the project they IT department will get final edit and approval on anyway.

the call for change management ... it's the Batphone! "Sorry, we think Green Lantern will handle this."
The scenario plays out, again and again.
Phone rings:
?Change management? ?Nope, we?ve got that covered in the project management plan, it is called ? now, let me see, what is it called, oh, yea, here it is, we definitely have it covered, it is called?change control.
?You said change management, you see, we are a step ahead. ?We are monitoring and?controlling?change.
?We control change, you see, we don?t just manage change. ?We won?t let change stop us.
So, you see, we got change covered.? ?[Phone hangs up.]
Phone rings:
?Change management? ?We?ve got that covered in the IT department. ?Nope, don?t need your help, thank you.
?What?s that you say: ?impact assessment? stakeholder analysis? training? end-user testing? persona models? communications? change readiness? survey? ?Can we do those if it won?t affect when we go-live?
?No, you say, we really should not. ?Well, perhaps we try just one of those.
?We have a date to get this done. ?We can not take time for delays to deal with any other the soft stuff.? ?[Phone hangs up.]
Phone rings:
?Change management? ?Yep, the project management office has it covered.? ?[Phone hangs up.]
You, yes you, IT. ?You alone have destroyed OD?s final engagement with business on stuff that matters: ?end-user adoption and utility. ?The only books on my office bookshelf people recognize have the word?Change?and?Management?somewhere in the title and some books have the words Change Management together.
10 years ago I looked across the table and say, ?sorry, I know how to do change management, but I really have no idea what you just described as change management.?
Now? ?Now everyone does change management:
If everyone has a handle on change management, there go all our psychology-type degrees, right into the rubbish bin.
Change management to a project manager? ?Nope, not the same: ?change control is not in our vernacular.
Change management to an IT person? ?Nope, not the same: ?facilitate agreement of change assumes change is linear.
Change management to an HR person? ?Closer, but nope, not the same: ?a change?communications plan?does not get driven by a date.
Change management to an OD person? ?Doesn?t matter anymore. ?Now? ?I meet IT. ?I look around the table and say, ?what do you have in mind for change management?? ?I bite my tongue as they show me their change management process. ?I take notes. ?Listen to time lines, then, any number I write, I know, is divided by behavior.
Hey, unless I want to go into OD academic research, I still need to work.
If IT focus is on contribution to productivity change management has life.
If IT focus is on value creation, instead of problem avoidance, change management has life.

For instance, they should do as much research as possible. Many people are not aware of everything that is involved in working in this field. In their eyes, these are the people who go around to residential homes and spray every so often. Although this may be one aspect of their job, there is much more. In actuality, these technicians are also responsible for doing work on farms, in gardens and even in large factories. In other words, they work wherever they are needed. So, they aren't just limited to residential neighborhoods. This is important to note, before entering the field. That is because someone could begin their journey as a technician only to find that they are not cut out for the job. Therefore, it's best to go in with as much information as possible.
Another important thing for them to do is get as much advice as possible. A good idea would be for them to call around to some of the local pest control services and see if they can speak to a manager or be connected with an owner. They should let them know their plans and ask if they could come in and talk to some of the workers. This will allow them to get information that may not be available anywhere else, even in the most expensive text books. On top of everything else, a potential pest control technician should make sure that this is something they are willing to work for. Although they don't need to go to college to enter into this industry, there are still educational and certification requirements they must meet. So, it's important to begin the journey knowing everything that is required of them. That way they don't end up wasting valuable time.
