Basic Instinct 2
Director : Michael Caton-Jones
Screenplay : Leora Barish & Henry Bean
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2006
Stars : Sharon Stone (Catherine Tramell), David Morrissey (Dr. Michael Glass), Charlotte Rampling (Milena Gardosh), David Thewlis (Roy Washburn), Hugh Dancy (Adam Towers), Anne Caillon (Laney Ward), Iain Robertson (Peter Ristedes), Stan Collymore (Kevin Franks), Kata Dobó (Magda), Flora Montgomery (Michelle Broadwin), Jan Chappell (Angela)
In the 14 years following the release of Paul Verhoeven's Basic Instinct, the notorious erotic thriller that made her a star, Sharon Stone has been trying to live down the character of cold-hearted seductress and possible ice-pick-wielding murderess Catherine Tramell. She's done everything she can to convince us that she's a legitimate actress: working with Martin Scorsese (which garnered her an Oscar nomination for her role in 1995's Casino), starring in misfire indie films like Simpatico (1999), even cutting her hair short. Yet, somehow the image of her as Catherine, the steely-eyed temptress, was the one she could never shake.
So, what's a woman to do but succumb to the demands of the popular imaginary and make a sequel? Thus we get Basic Instinct 2, a ridiculously belated follow-up that has been in various stages of production for years under any number of directors, depending on which rumor mill you follow.
Unfortunately, it is an underwhelming sequel, one that fails to make good on the steamy trashiness of the original, which at the time raised eyebrows and ire from conservatives and liberals alike (the former didn't like its general depravity while the latter didn't like its cartoonish depiction of lesbians as murderous psychos). Perhaps the passage of time and increasing flood of Internet pornography has dulled our senses, but Basic Instinct 2 feels like a pale shadow that is imminently unworthy of even a raised heartbeat.
A major part of the film's problem is its casting, namely the decision to place British actor David Morrissey opposite Stone as Dr. David Glass, a psychoanalyst who gives Catherine a forensic psychological examination after a soccer star is killed when she drives her sports car off the road and into the Thames at 110 mph. Morrissey is a fine actor with a long and varied filmography, but he looks utterly wrong for the part. Dr. Glass is meant to be an upstanding, respectable intellectual whose inner darkness is fired by his interactions with Catherine, but Morrissey never makes us believe there's a sordid core beneath his character's impeccable suits.
With his soft cheeks, bland haircut, and small, pursed mouth, Morrissey's Dr. Glass is no match for Stone's hard-edged vixen. Part of the seedy jolt of the original Basic Instinct was the give-and-take between Catherine and Michael Douglas's San Francisco cop; unlike Morrissey, Douglas was able to pull off a character who was just as twisted and dangerous as Catherine, which made him a worthy opponent. Dr. Glass never seems like anything more than a pawn. Even his deliriously expansive office inside a phallic glass skyscraper, which should equate him with masculine power, just makes him seem pathetic and out of his league.
The screenplay by Leora Barish and Henry Bean rehashes most of the major plot points of the original film, casting Catherine as an almost too-obvious murder suspect and allowing her to manipulate everyone around her, especially Dr. Glass, who ill-advisedly takes her on as a patient. He diagnoses her with "risk addiction," a psychological malady from which he obviously suffers, as well, given his rapid obsession with her. Meanwhile, Dr. Glass is mired in other problems, namely a haunting earlier case in which he failed to alert authorities to the potentially murderous nature of one of his patients. Should he have done something to stop it? Will it happen again with Catherine? Does anyone care?
Director Michael Caton-Jones does what he can with the material, but it's hard not to feel that Basic Instinct 2 is shocking only in the fact that it's so boring. The film needed a director with a true trash vibe and wicked sense of irony--in short, someone like Paul Verhoeven, whose devil-may-care attitude and "shock the stuffy Americans" mentality are sorely missed. Basic Instinct 2, with its cloudy London setting, grayish cinematography, and roles played by well-regarded European thespians like Charlotte Rampling and David Thewlis, is too refined, polished, and simplistic, even as the body count rises. Stone delivers in her performance, taking Catherine's lethal vixen to a whole new level of cartoonish malevolence, but it's not enough to save this embarrassingly limp and utterly unnecessary sequel.

30G Stocking help, Compatibility?
i Just got a new 30g standard tank with an Aquaclear 50 filter and a heater. i also have a small box corner filter running in the corner.
The tanks been running for about a week , i'm in the middle of a fishless cycle using pure ammonia : (very high ammonia, no nitrites yet).
For stocking i'm thinking about an Anglefish as a centerpeice, with a school of 10-15 neon or cardinal tetras, and a 3-6 Corys for the bottom.
Would this set up work? I'm open to suggestions so i appreciate any help.
Also if you know, what temperature would be good for these fish to compromise at? and are there any other parameters i need to know keeping these fish ? any help is appreciated thank you very much.

Personally, I would look for a little larger tetra. Take a look at the rummynose tetras, which go well with angels. Also, angels like the temp a bitter higher than some fish so check the parameters for the cories you want. I have almost this exact configuration with angel, rummynose (I have 10) and sterbai cories. The sterbai can tolerate a bit higher temp. I also have a few otto cats and I keep my tank right around 80F.

alright thanks alot, i might also give cardinal tetras a try since they are a little bigger than the neons so hopefully the angel wont be affected by them.
for catfish, i know a school of them is reccomended so my question is do they all have to be the same color ? like u cant have one albino one sterbai etc... to be a school, they all have to be the same?
I did not have an issue with my angels and cardinal tetras, so anecdotal evidence gains +1 to compatibility.
For schooling fish you should aim for like specimens where the scientific name is the same for the best results. So if its the same specific type of fish and just a coloration difference that works fine. If you mix them, you may not get as natural reactions, but corys by all accounts do place nice with each other.
I would add another Aquaclear 50.
09-26-2012, 05:44 PM #6Originally Posted by tate8
Also - as to your corys. I have 6 in my 30 - 3 pairs of 2 different variety. If I had it to do over again, I would have 6 of the same variety. I think they would school much nicer and be happier.
My plan is to eventually move 2 pair into my 90 and add 4 more of each variety so I have 2 schools of six. Then get another 4 for the 30 - again of the same variety so I have a school of 6 like fish.
Your tank sounds really nice with the angel and the larger tetra. Something else to think about are Colombian Tetra. Gorgeous fish and while they don't swim in tight schools (most schools won't if they feel safe) they like each others company and 'sort' of stick together in the middle of the tank which makes a very nice visual effect.

+1. Make your cories all the same. Although they may hang out with other cories for security, they are not the same species and will not display their usual schooling behavior.

Thanks alot everyone... I'll check out the columbian tetras and i realy hope i can use either neons or cardinals with the angel but i've heard that the angels aggressiveness towards them really just goes on a fish to fish basis. Some angels won't mind them at all and others will have a feast.
still no nitrite levels yet :( im getting really anxious to start stocking! i think i may have put a bit too much ammonia in there (4 teaspoons) so this could take a while. Any ideas on how to speed it up?
09-26-2012, 11:31 PM #10Originally Posted by gmez21
You've only started a week ago, right? If so, I'd be tempted to do a 50% W/C to see if you can drop the Ammonia down to 2 - which is where you probably should have started. Normally, no W/C during the fishless cycle, but if you've overdosed initially, I'd sure give it a try.
Once you get your ammonia level to 2, you should start seeing some nitrite action soon after - probably within a week.
BTW: Fishless cycling does work. I cycled my 90 in 3 weeks. But overdosing with ammonia can really slow the process down.
Good luck.30 gal FW:dw gourami, cory cats, ABN pleco, Colombian & Serpae tetra, nerites & mystery snails

It's Monday again, and those beautiful heirloom tomatoes from the farmer's market are sitting on the counter. Almost too pretty to eat. I had big plans for them. Maybe a tomato tart, or a fancy panzanella salad. But my youngest daughter gets home from college today, and her 20th birthday is Tuesday. These tomatoes will just have to get the minimal treatment.
This recipe is authentic--- My inspiration comes from Dani, who made them on her trip to France last year. She got her recipe from a cookbook that was in the kitchen of the home they were renting. But this dish has vintage American cache, too. They would have been right there, next to your steak, throughout the 50s, 60s at any restaurant worth its salt.
And satisfying---they hit all the high points: crunchy, cheesy, juicy, fresh, and sweet.
Not to mention healthy---there's no reason these can't be a meal, with a loaf of bread to soak up all the juices, a salad, and some wine.
Provencal Tomatoes
makes 6 tomatoes
oven to 350
6 tomatoes, they should be somewhat firm
- Slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out just a little from the center of each.
- Arrange the tomatoes in an oven proof dish and sprinkle them with:
fresh cracked pepper
some herbes de Provence
a sprinkle of lemon juice
- In a small bowl mix together:
about 1/3 cup fresh herbs of your choice, finely chopped
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced (optional)
about 1/2 cup grated hard Italian cheese of your choice
- Sprinkle the mixture heavily over each tomato, filling the cavities. You can use any herbs you like, I used a combination of tarragon, basil, chives and thyme because that's what I had around.
- Drizzle the tomatoes liberally with:
- Bake for about 15 minutes, then put them under the broiler briefly to get browned.
Notes: These are best eaten hot from the oven. If your tomatoes are small, reduce the cooking time or they will get mushy. You can sprinkle them with extra cheese before broiling if you like.
Now I'm off to find a really good birthday cake to make!

This Digital Communities white paper highlights discussions with IT officials in four counties that have adopted shared services models. Our aim was to learn about the obstacles these governments have faced when it comes to shared services and what it takes to overcome those roadblocks. We also spoke with several members of the IT industry who have thought long and hard about these issues. The paper offers some best practices for shared government-to-government services, but also points out challenges that government and industry still must overcome before this model gains widespread adoption.

By George E. Curry
NNPA Columnist
After studying the records of vice presidential candidates for more than a century, Nate Silver wrote in Saturday's New York Times that Paul Ryan, the person Mitt Romney selected to be his vice presidential running mate, is "as conservative as Representative Michele Bachmann, the controversial congresswoman of Minnesota...Mr. Ryan is the most conservative Republican member of Congress to be picked for the vice-presidential slot since at least 1900. He is also more conservative than any Democratic nominee was liberal, meaning that he is the furthest from the center."
As chairman of the House Budget Committee, the Wisconsin Republican has served as the chief architect of the GOP's budget priorities. Detailed analysis of Ryan's budget plan show him to be what Jesse Jackson often called on the presidential campaign trail in 1984: a "Reverse Robin Hood" – one who likes to take from the poor to give to the rich.
That's exactly the point documented by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
"...These regressive new tax cuts would come on top of the Bush tax cuts, which also were costly and provided disproportionate gains to the highest-income households. Combined, the Bush and Ryan tax cuts would provide an annual windfall of nearly $400,000 apiece, on average, to people with incomes over $1 million."
It added, "By combining large budget cuts (and tax increases) that disproportionately harm lower-income Americans with big tax cuts that disproportionately help those at the top of the income scale, the Ryan budget would significantly worsen inequality and increase poverty and hardship (and reduce opportunity as well, through deep cuts in programs such as Pell Grants to help low-income students afford college)."
Even William Gale, who served as a senior staff economist for the Council of Economic Advisers under President George H.W. Bush, agrees.
"At a time when our country faces a daunting fiscal challenge, Ryan asks nothing of the wealthiest Americans. His budget proposal would simultaneously cut tax rates for the rich and corporations while slashing programs for the poor and elderly: he would shift many federal low-income assistance programs to state governments and would transform Medicare into a premium support system that will shift health care costs to seniors if health care inflation cannot be controlled," said Gale, now co-director of the Tax Policy Center.
A Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis of Ryan's 2013 budget plan found that it "would get at least 62 percent of its $5.3 trillion in nondefense budget cuts over ten years (relative to a continuation of current policies) from programs that serve people of limited means."
It explained, "Ryan's cuts from programs benefiting low-income earners include "$2.4 trillion in reductions from Medicaid and other health care for people with low or moderate incomes" and "$134 billion in cuts to SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program." In addition, Ryan would cut at least $463 billion from "mandatory programs serving low-income Americans (other than Medicaid and SNAP)" and "at least $291 billion in cuts in low-income discretionary programs."
Like his running mate, Ryan favors repealing President Obama's signature Affordable Care Act. And what he proposes as a cure for America's ailing health care system is worse than the illness.
"Ryan budget would divide our health system into a distinct two tiers: those who could afford the care they need would get it; many others would not," said Edwin Park, vice president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Referring to Ryan, the former White House official said, "He would convert Medicare into a voucher to buy private insurance or traditional Medicare, and cap Medicare financing for the vouchers at levels that wouldn't keep pace with health costs. By 2050, the Congressional Budget Office says, federal funding for a 67-year-old beneficiary's health costs would be 35 percent to 42 percent lower than under current law. With vouchers growing more inadequate over time, beneficiaries would face much higher premiums and cost-sharing. Some would become uninsured; others would forgo care they couldn't afford."
And the problem with Medicare and Medicaid would not stop there under Ryan's plan.
"He would turn Medicaid into a block grant program and give states less financing each year," Park said. "States would get one-third less by 2022, which led the C.B.O. to conclude that unless states spent substantially more of their own money on Medicaid, they'd have to make substantial cuts to eligibility, benefits and/or provider payments. When Ryan proposed a similar system last year, the Urban Institute estimated states would cut 14 million to 27 million beneficiaries by 2021."
In an effort to shore up his conservative base, Mitt Romney has selected a running mate clearly out of step with the American public.

Comment posted Coalition for Progess to Govern Argyll & Bute by Councillor Douglas Philand.
As Leader of Argyll First Group I wish to clarify the situation re Councillor Kelly particularly for Islay for ever and Arnie
Councillor Donald Kelly has been a Conservative member of the non political Argyll First group since its inception in 2010
The then Leader of the Scottish Conservative party Annabelle Goldie accompanied by Ruth Davidson met with him and discussed his participation within the group.
As a result of this meeting Miss Goldie sent a letter to Councillor Kelly which he has in his possession endorsing his participation in Argyll First.
The Argyll and Bute Conservative Association requested that Councillor Donald Kelly stand as their candidate for the South Kintyre ward on the clear understanding that if elected he would become
a conservative member of the Argyll First Group.
During the course of the recent election Councillor Kellys election leaflet made it clear to one and all that he would continue to be a member of Argyll First if elected.
I am sure if anyone requires further clarification Councillor Kelly will be only too willing to provide it should anyone wish to contact him directly.
Councillor Douglas Philand also commented
- Sorry David for not getting back to you, as a group we have not discussed this issue as yet but thanks for bringing it up.
- Islay for ever think we have the gist of what YOU are saying it will be interesting when we next meet with Jamie McGrigor to illicit his view, meantime can you please answer the question i asked which you have so skillfully avoided
In relation to your Conservative and unionist Council colleagues from the last administration in post 12 abovePerhaps Islay for ever could justify the deviation of his council colleagues from the national party's stance when Donald Kelly actually supported the party in relation to school closures.
- For David Grahame, this is stated in our Aims and Objectives as a the Argyll First group.
It is open to membership of any Elected Councillor within the Argyll and Bute Constituency area irrespective of political persuasions. There is no pre-requisite to resign from political parties only a desire to serve the Population of Argyll and Bute as an elected member and joining the group will be by mutual agreement.
Secondly we are not a registered group as per electoral commission hence could not put on nomination papers. But when canvassing we put our intentions in campaign leaflets as Donald Stated so people were aware before voting our intentions re Argyll First.
- Interesting that Islay for ever has never made mention of the fact that in the previous administration the conservative and unionist councillors voted to close rural schools pariculrly on islay (Keills) when MSP Jamie McGrigor (whom i have the upmost respect for) actually wanted to save rural schools a stance which Donald Kelly supported. Perhaps Islay for ever could justify the deviation of his council colleagues from the national party's stance when Donald Kelly actually supported the party.

- Struan Lodge on agenda for today's council meeting
Simon like phil i have to say at least you can balance things out and put things down as they really are. I have to chucckle when i see SEPERATION IN 14 stating we do not have the guts or backbone to take hard decisions, i have to say whatever decision we take there will always be someone who is unhappy however we take decisions in public and on public record as opposed to SEPERATION IN 14 who does not even give the courtesy of allowing people to know who you are so you can hide behind all sorts of comments, have the guts or backbone to sign your own name to comments and be held publically accountable, would be interesting to hear your comments when people know who you are would you be so brave????????????? - Russell presence at council administration away day raises concerns
Just to quash the rumour mill, Argyll First continue and will continue to work in collaboration with colleagues of the current administration and at no time have any of the 3 of us been engaged in any deal with other groups within the council. Hope this clarifies the situation - Argyll and Bute Council: the empire strikes back with Argyll facing worst of all options
Just to confirm that Argyll First is remaining firm and having given a pledge to Roddy and his colleagues we remain committed to the Coalition. Hope this clarifies our position - Statement from Ron Simon
Ron, real privilidge working with an honest and honerable councillor. Wish you all the best and hope you have a full recovery from your recent illness.Dougie/Donald/John
Argyll First - Council candidates, election battlegrounds and serious choices to be made
For Kintyre Too, in your post N08 you state about me
"be wary of associating with men of shifting principles". Can you please explain to us all why Cllr Mulvaney and Cllr Kinniburgh both of the conservative and unionist party voted to close rural schools when in fact the national party backed by our MSP (with whom i have a huge respect for)Jamie McGrigor quite rightly stated to retain rural schools is this action by your councillors"loyal to the party" as written by you. Would love to know why the same "be wary of associating with men of shifting principles" is not so for 2 of your party members please explain.

Car Crashes Into Walker Brook Drive Starbucks
Driver cited for operating to endanger in mid-morning crash.
9:22 a.m. on a Sunday is normally a time when the Starbucks on Walker Brook Drive in Reading is filled with customers enjoying their morning coffee and pastry. Given the timing, its remarkable that no one was injured when a car slammed through the side of the building, causing significant damage. According to a Reading Police spokesman, the driver was pulling into a parking space on the side of the building when he hit the accelerator instead of the brake. As a result, the car jumped the curb and crashed through the windows. The driver, whose name has not been released, was also uninjured but he has been cited for driving to endanger. The Reading Building Inspector was at the scene Sunday afternoon to make sure the building was …

The West Virginia Sheriffs' Association recently held a two-day "New Sheriff School," and 28 of the 35 brand new sheriffs and eight current sheriffs were in attendance. Logan County Sheriff Sonya Porter was the only woman in the group
Porter said attending the school was a very positive experience and gave the new sheriffs and their support staff an overview of a sheriff's responsibilities.
"It was great to have the opportunity to able to learn from experienced sheriffs and to be able to come together and share resources and information," said Porter.
Porter learned being a sheriff isn't all about law enforcement; tax collection is the primary duty of the sheriff, even though the sheriff must also provide law enforcement services in their county, provide court security and create and administer budgets.
"I think many of the newly elected sheriffs were surprised by the amount of work and responsibility that goes into collecting and keeping track of taxes," said Porter, "Being the chief treasurer of the county is a new aspect to my duties. I have been in law enforcement for 19 years, everything from court bailiff, patrol deputy, drug and violent crime task force member and chief deputy — tax collection is a new duty. I learned a lot from the W.Va. State Auditor's Office about those duties during this seminar and I know that I can always reach out to them for assistance. But, I am so grateful to have a great Chief Tax Deputy, Gloria Blevins, who has 20 years of experience to assist me with this new duty."

Historic No Ivy Day Results
Once a year, valiant heroes far and wide raise their loppers against the green plague: English ivy...
Artwork by Kennedy Nortness, No Ivy League Summer Crew 1994
On Saturday, October 13, people around the Portland metro area converged beneath forgiving clouds to improve our natural areas through the removal of the invasive weed, English ivy. Together, we worked to accomplish the following:
- Ivy removal work parties were held at 17 sites in the Portland area
- More than 162 volunteers participated in invasive plant removal, contributing more than 648 volunteer hours of labor to the fight against invasive species
- 374 trees were cleared of English ivy and more than 31,575 square feet of ground ivy was removed
These results will continue to improve the habitat of our natural areas for future use by wildlife and people. Removing invasive plants allows for the establishment of native plants and a more diverse ecosystem.
On October 22, volunteers across the region gathered under fairly lovely fall weather to help improve our natural areas by removing the invasive weed English ivy. Here are the stats!
- Ivy removal work parties were held at 15 sites in the Portland area.
- More than 279 volunteers participated in invasive plant removal, contributing more than 1,096 volunteer hours of labor in the fight against invasive species.
- 242 trees were cleared of English ivy and more than 150,000 square feet of ground ivy was removed.
- In addition, ten linear feet of fence was mended, bags of garbage were removed from multiple sites, and invasive trees were trimmed in advance of removal.
Thanks so much to those who donated their valuable time to make No Ivy Day 2011 a success!

Small Business is Big News at 2012 RNC
Small business has been a major theme both inside and outside the Tampa Bay Times Forum this week.
Small business has been a major theme both inside and outside the Tampa Bay Times Forum this week.
With events tied to the 2012 Republican National Convention taking place in all parts of the Tampa Bay area, many local business owners prepared to have the biggest money making week of their year.
At the beginning of the convention, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and the 2012 Tampa Host Committee projected a $150 – 175 million boost to Tampa's economy because of the 2012 RNC.
"The way the City (of Tampa) and the Downtown Partnership put it out, we'd have 50,000 visitors and we'd be swamped," said Marc Zolkowski earlier this week. Zolkowski is the co-owner of the Metro Lounge and Restaurant in downtown Tampa. His neighboring business owner, Eftechios Xanthoudakis, said he expected to conduct five times as much business at his Samaria Café than he would during a typical week.
Entrepreneur.com reports that small business owners in Charlotte, North Carolina hold similar expectations for the 2012 Democratic National Convention, which takes place in that city next week.
However, for many Tampa area businesses, the 2012 RNC has been a disappointment with traffic, crowds and weather keeping both visitors and locals away.
Inside the Forum, the topic of small business took center stage first with a short speech on Tuesday by Phil Archuleta, a small business owner from New Mexico, followed by Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan's speech on Wednesday in which he responded to President Obama's controversial comments last month in Roanoke, Virginia about the amount of credit entrepreneurs deserve for the development of their business.
In that speech, President Obama implied that all successful business owners received outside support at some point in time. "There was a great teacher somewhere in your life," he began.
The controversy stemmed from his subsequent statements about the role government plays in building small businesses. "Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive," the President said. "Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
Ryan responded to that statement during Wednesday's RNC session.
"If small business people say they made it on their own, all they are saying is that nobody else worked seven days a week in their place," he said to the crowd of GOP delegates and media. He closed with the statement, "Yes, you did build that."
What do Tampa area small business owners think of the RNC's impact on the community and of Obama's and Ryan's statements regarding entrepreneurs? Tell us in the comments.
Both BarackObama.com and MittRomney.com have quotes addressing small business owners prominently displayed on site, and small business owners have organized Facebook groups in support of each candidate:
Manta, an online community for small business owners, released poll results last week from a survey of nearly 2,000 small business owners stating that sixty-one percent currently plan to vote for Mitt Romney in the upcoming presidential election.
The 2012 RNC wraps up Thursday night, and the 2012 DNC kicks off in Charlotte Tuesday after a long Labor Day weekend. That will be the next place to watch for platform statements affecting America's Main Street.
Round-Up of Small Business Stories During the RNC in Tampa:

- RNC's Impact on Downtown Business Light So Far
- Coffee Shop's Business Brisk as RNC Gets Going
- Downtown Restaurants Don't See increase in Business

Promises of help for small business that never came.
So have we learned anything this week?
Like if this group of self serving bigots take over our government, we are all screwed..

Thats funny, cause it was the Democratic Mayor and City Council of TAMPA promising all of us small business owners we would get a huge boost and the security measures would not dampen our traffic. Those darn self serving bigots.

Rick, what do you recall them saying? I want to make sure I'm clear on what you mean.
4:07 pm on Friday, August 31, 2012
Your memory is very selective. A common disease of a liberal hack: For months, city leaders and GOP host committee officials have insisted that Tampa would reap the benefits of having a convention in its city. Buckhorn estimated that the event would generate some $150 million to $175 million in revenue, from the security expenses to delegate spending to the host committee contracts with local caterers and other businesses.

Let's be honest, Buckhorn is hardly a D in his politics.

Remember the RNC isn't a tool for this past week. it is a marketing tool for revenue in the future. For people to come down again on non-business travel. Where there is time to enjoy the stores, restraunts, and shops.
3:42 pm on Friday, August 31, 2012
I believe there were promises made by the convention host committee (which was dominated by GOP politicians and donors and not the Tampa mayor/council) that immediate economic benefits would be felt in the Tampa Bay area. Visiting Tampa Bay in August is not likely to entice many visitors to stroll around the shops or enjoy the outdoor restaurants during another visit. Other cities whose local vendors were also promised benefits that never came could have shared their experiences with Tampa prior to the convention bid. Political conventions are never worth the expense and disruption.

And that is why we must stand up and make Mitt Romney the next president of the United States." Now there's juice all over the floor. Not even the Republicans think he's a leader that will "fight hard". Hell, they're praying he follows Koch brothers game plan and not flip flop as he usually does...

India's untouchables make millions
Jason Overdorf, GlobalPost
April 22, 2011
Extrajudicial killings in Bangladesh, ethnic violence in Burma and lack of free press in Cambodia are all indicators of a drift toward authoritarianism in many Asian nations. Some countries, though, have bucked this trend; except in conflict areas like Kashmir widespread rights violations in India are the exception rather than the rule. Still the region is home perhaps the globe's worst human rights offender aging dictator, Kim Jong Il in North Korea, who has set the standard for state repression with prison camps of hundreds of thousands and a strangle-hold on resources.
As other Asian states like the Philippines and Thailand make halting progress toward protecting human rights, China stands out for a lack of fundamental freedoms and routine human rights violations against its population of 1.3 billion. The research scholar Li Xiaorong commented bluntly that "after a generation of economic development, after many rounds of US-China human rights dialogues and after millions of dollars of assistance to promote 'rule of law and other 'reforms'," still, "The human rights situation in China has not fundamentally improved."
Large swaths of Chinese minority groups, such as Uighurs and Tibetans have few guaranteed rights amid ongoing and continuous state oppression that includes lethal indiscriminate force. The country heavily censors press, lawyers have "disappeared" indefinitely and at least 26 Chinese journalists are in prison. Human rights activists are also regularly silenced by imprisonment. An estimated 500,000 people have been imprisoned without charge or trial. In bureaucratic double-speak China amended the constitution in 2004 to read that, "the state respects and preserves human rights," but continued imprisoning high-profile dissidents such as Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo on "subversion" charges. China's human rights record threatens the popular belief that global economic interdependence will bring consensus that states should, if not protect human rights, at least value them.

100% agreed. If I was as good at JavaScript as I am at HTML & CSS I'd be swimming in money. Not literally, but you get the drift. It's just practicing and practicing and memorising and memorising that is the most tedious work. Once you've got that covered...BAM - You're in the game!

It's not that simple but if it's what you want to do you - it just requires work.

You're just out of school, right?
Sorry to tell you, you'll be hard-pressed right now to find any work in any field without work-experience.
You might have to bite the bullet and flip burgers for a year or so. I used to sell VHS tapes in a video club. Yes, VHS tapes. I'm 25 and I sound ancient, jeez.
Whatever you do, stay focused. Use the time and the little bit of cash from whatever-work-you-can-find to refine your skills and send out resumes to EVERYWHERE.
If you do, in about a year or so you'll start getting call-backs. At least, that was the turn-around in Trinidad. Maybe where you are will be different.
And don't fret over the small-jobs. Bide your time. When this phase is done, you'll slowly realise you learnt a whole host of skills (and maybe gained friends too) from that small-job that are super-valuable to wherever you end up afterward.
Trying to fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds' worth of distance run.
I realise it isn't that simple, Mark I was just taking it from a different angle, the angle of not really going into the finest details because if I had £1 for every time I seen that link that you posted I would actually literally be swimming in money Also "it just requires work." It isn't -that- simple either
Andrew Cooper
I only really know HTML/CSS/fair bit of JS, PHP and SQL. I know a good bit of Java too though..I don't see me fitting in anywhere there
I searched for about a year, along with seeing if I could freelance but I get no customers. I have about 2 steady customers who use me as a last resort to fix something their other designers can't (I don't see why not just start with me to begin with)...
As said above, I try, just not enough clients. I don't know how to find any
I'm actually still in college, I started doing CSS freshman year, getting seriously into it end of sophomore year. I currently am a manager at Dairy Queen, "biding my time" so to speak
But we are getting off topic..
http://www.ryanreese.us -Always looking for web design/development work
I honestly don't see how someone like yourself who has the knowledge, technique, and experience can't get a steady stream of clients through freelancing! Either the economy is really bad in America or you just need a little bit of help. I can't help the American economy but I can give you some help - Right here. Order it, go through it all, modify the documents to your own business, and watch your bank balance go sky high!

Hi RyanReese,
Just a few thoughts from reading your post.
Selling to people who aren't web designers isn't just about being awesome, it's about projecting that awesomeness to people who can't tell otherwise. A non designer can't look at your work and say, hey, he's good, so it's got to come from you.
That might be tough if you're still at college but I would have thought there are ways to project yourself as super mature and experienced in the way you look, the literature you give out, even little things like the pen you keep in your pocket and the file you keep your portfolio in.
I used the Sitepoint web design business kit when I went freelance a few years ago. It's got some good ideas in it and I'd recommend it thoroughly, though it isn't cheap. http://www.sitepoint.com/kits/freelance2/
Hope things pick up for you soon.
Remove the quitting reference for starters it exudes negativity even if it is meant to be in jest. You are going to compete and do well in this competition if you focus yourself.
That is one of the reasons this competition will be good because it covers several aspects. And NO you don't fail if you make a CSS error. As there is a lot more than just CSS and HTML going to being assessed.

Completely agree. I definately know enough to have clients but it just isn't happening. The economy isn't too bad really, I just don't know where to find clients. I can sell myself to them but the problem is finding them. My pet peeve on here is people posting easy problems they get from working on clients sites..I agree sometimes people blank on answers to bug fixes..but if you don't know how to complete a clients work (bug fixes) then don't take the job! Give to me )
Yeah I do need a site but I had to pay for college so I'm a bit broke now. I'll try to get a site online soonish.
Again, once I find clients I can project my 1337ness.
Thanks for the advice.
I'm super excited for this competition. I'm going to give it my all. I want to win this.
