Info About Phone Directories Of Pakistan

Memories of my dear friend Pat...where to begin? Pat was my first Director in Mary Kay going back to June of 1989, Karen O'Neall was in DIQ, so Pat became my Sr Director within months and has been the past 20 plus years. I will always remember our special time at Leadership in Dallas in Jan 2001, when I Debuted as a
Sales Director. We were treated to a suite at the Adams Mark and Pat and Karen and I roomed together. The room was HUGE. I will never forget the look on Pat's face when she walked in and that was the only year we has the opportunity to room together. Because I live in Ohio, Seminar and Leadership were the opportunities to be with Pat and Max. I am so thankful for Max driving all those miles for our "Mary Kay get togethers". Some of the most memorable times... dinners at the Blue Goose and the Spaghetti Warehouse and being in Allen at Fun on the Farm at Gloryann and Larry's. I am so thankful for being seated on the floor with you both in Dallas in 2009, and then being so suprised to run into you both in the MK Expo in San Diego... when last I heard you would not be making the trip. I know that God placed me in your Mary Kay Family and I am here today because of it. You have loved me and my family like a daughter and encouraged me and helped me keep my priorities straight all these years. I am so sad now and already miss Pat and can not believe she is gone from this world. But now I have a new peace, instead of her being in Iowa watching over me and our unit via the computer... she has a heavenly place and a much better view. Max we will be here for you and love you so much. Thank you for taking such good care of Pat and all her offspring and consultants over the years . As I read to you this morning from my devotional for Friday, May 28th, Sovereign Ruler of the skies, Ever gracious, ever wise, All my times are in Your hand, All events at Your command. -Ryland Our times are in God's hands; our souls are in His keeping. from Psalm 31:14-15
Love to you "Max the Man" :)

Hey Guys,

There was a time when movies were a lot more modest. Violence was in short supply, and sexual situations were all about subtlety. But that wasn’t all. Because it was thought to be uncouth, the scandalous sound of a flushing toilet was never heard on the big screen. That is until one movie changed the rules in 1960.

“Psycho,” a movie so famous for so many reasons, was the first flick to show audiences a flushing toilet. I know this sounds like a silly thing to praise, but the flush was actually a big deal at the time. Director Alfred Hitchcock had set out to make a film that put audiences ill at ease from the get-go. He knew that by showing something early in the film that they had never seen before (i.e., a flushing toilet), it would send a signal that the audience was watching a movie in which anything was possible.

Filmsite.org calls the scene in which the main character, Marion, flushes evidence of her crime down the toilet a “a convention-breaking taboo.” Cinepad.com goes into more depth, writing that “just the sight of the flushing toilet was considered shocking enough to mildly unsettle and disorient audiences of the day.” Cinepad quotes the screenwriter, Joseph Stephano, as saying, “I thought if I could begin to unhinge audiences by showing a toilet flushing — we all suffer from peccadillos from toilet procedures — they’d be so out of it by the time of the shower murder, it would be an absolute killer.”

It was. The film, most famous for its classic “shower scene” that followed the flush, went on to become one of Hollywood’s greatest films and a template for future horror movies. I like to think the flush played a small part.

Thanks for reading,

Mike
