I mean, who's gonna be afraid of a comely woman in a light blue t-shirt and beige shorts who sings songs that promote camping for a living? That being said, the sheer kookiness that Pamela brought to the proceedings should not be discounted, as each death is made oddly comical by the alluring actress. I adored the way she smiled while committing heinous crimes against her fellow campers; it was so genial of her.

Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (Michael A. Simpson, 1988)
I mean, who's gonna be afraid of a comely woman in a light blue t-shirt and beige shorts who sings songs that promote camping for a living? That being said, the sheer kookiness that Pamela brought to the proceedings should not be discounted, as each death is made oddly comical by the alluring actress. I adored the way she smiled while committing heinous crimes against her fellow campers; it was so genial of her.

This one is my favorite of this series. The next film had some creative kills, but it was nowhere as much fun as part two. As you said, Ally and her assets were among the most memorable aspects of the movie.

I have seen surprisingly few '80s slasher films. I will have to give this one a try.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia I learned from the extras on the Sleepaway Camp box set that came out a few years ago in re: Valerie Hartman's energetic and memorable sex scene by the log in the woods. The reason you don't see her love partner in a lot of the shots is that the male actor was in fact underage (17, I think they said), and so they had to have a stand-in (lie-in?) for those shots.
She's definitely one of my favorite things about the movie, though. Not only hot and uninhibited but also so gleefully nasty and hateful. Just what I look for in a woman.
You're right about Springsteen's winning portrayal here too. For me Part 3 suffered from diminishing returns, but 1 and 2 are just great fun slashers.
Also--is it this one or part 3 that has the lead counselor guy with the truly amazing curled mullet? Worth the price of admission. :) - August 4, 2009 at 3:35 PM

venoms5: Assessing assets isn't my strong suit. But I have to admit, Ally's were quite easy to assess.
Darius: I see you like Danielle Fishel. Very interesting. Anyway, yeah, give it a try. Nudity. Kills. Bruce Springsteen's sister... it's got it all.
The Vicar of VHS: I own that box set; got it as a Christmas (Annual Gift Day) present. So, yeah, I'm down with that little nugget of Unhappy Camper trivia.
Lie-in sounds about right. You know, considering he wasn't doing any straddling.
Gleefully nasty is one of my favourite qualities as well.
Yeah, part 3 is a tad harder to love, but I'm sure I'll find something to obsess about.
A skillfully sculptured mullet if I ever saw one. - August 5, 2009 at 5:37 AM

Oddly, I never watched "Boy Meets World" but call her "Topanga" anyway. Hmm.

You mean the Ben's reign of terror is finally over? It's about freaking time.
Oh, and I'm sure you're pleased to hear that A.O. Scott has been named as one of the replacements. - August 5, 2009 at 10:01 PM

I love this movie!! Parts 2 and 3 are BY FAR the best SLEEPAWAY CAMP movies. Those movies kept famous people's siblings working when no one else would!
Thanks for posting on this movie. I loved the review.

I thought about you (and your love of Some Kind of Wonderful) when I read the sad news of John Hughes' death. :(
Speaking of great 80s soundtracks, Pamela Springsteen was in Reckless. - August 6, 2009 at 8:56 PM
- Yum-Yum said...
Tower Farm: Thanks, JM.
Yeah, Tracy Griffith, Melanie's half-sister, is in the third Sleepaway Camp flick.
Karim: I was shocked when I heard the news that John Hughes had died. His movies were an integral part of my adolescence.
A Reckless DVD is available at the Warner Brothers online store. - August 6, 2009 at 9:32 PM

Holy crap, Yums! I had no idea! How did this news escape me?
On a related (awesome!) note, Warner Archives is releasing Urgh! A Music War. - August 6, 2009 at 10:16 PM

Great writeup on this film. I loved this movie. I watched it again not that long ago. I still enjoyed it. Definitely one of my favorite of the slasher movies of the 80's.

Our local vid store only had Sleepaway Camp I. Decided I'll give it a try.
- August 7, 2009 at 9:00 PM

Kamir: Well whattaya know, Urgh! is on DVD. Weird, wild stuff.
Keith: Thanks, Keith.
Darius: I hope you enjoy it. - August 7, 2009 at 9:11 PM

This movie was just...gross. I hated the characters...I was grossed out by the kills...
In general, this would be a good thing...but somehow this one just rubbed me the wrong way. Can't really explain why. Maybe it was just my mood. The outhouse kill and the cullingus scene are the only two I really remember.
Oh, and some song about "...I like to drink and fuck, and if you give me money on my titties you can suck." - October 19, 2009 at 10:27 PM

How can you hate Angela? Unless you mean everyone except Angela. ;)

- William Weird ("The Bearded Weirdo Reviews Guy") said...
Pamela Springstein's freakishisly chipper performance is one of my favorite elements of the movie. I really dug the original Sleepaway Camp, and, as a sequel, I don't really think this flick works. But as a movie, on its own, unconnected to the original, I think it stands on its own two feet in a very enjoyable way.

"First let me acknowledge the Wooden Fisherman's Urn brought tears to my eyes when my son opened the shipment. I feel very at peace that Glenn is resting in what meant so much to him and that was fishing on his boat and working with wood. The image is what I wanted Glenn reeling in the Big One. Please thank the person who made the urn, that a wonderful job was done with a lot of love and caring. I still have the urn with me in my bedroom and such a wonderful feeling to wake up and see your loved one so close to you. Thank you again and have a wonderful week " |

Overall, others give this:
Mount Airy, NC
via sears.com
Handles well, easy to guide, features of much more expensive jig saws.
Upper Marlboro, MD
via sears.com
the cutting power, light,ergonomics are good. The soft start is very useful if you are running several tools at one time. You will not trip a circuit. However I gave it just two stars because the saw died after 4 years of light use and it was very expensive. I am currently in the middle of a large project and I must buy a new saw. I will not purchase another craftman jig saw.

When You Lost Your Virginity, Was it Special?
Why do people put so much emphasis on losing their virginity as though sex should be this ultra "special" thing? Is it because it's their first time experiencing sex? I know this girl Mary, who is so persistent on trying to get her ex Dylan back. They dated pretty much over 8 years ago and she's still stuck on him because he was her first everything.
I just want to knock some sense into this girl -- first times don't matter in the long run. She's one year younger than me and should know this, but I guess "love" is blind. I want to tell her that what she is experiencing isn't love but major infatuation. No person who truly "loves" her would make her be the other woman. She'll try to argue that it is real love, though -- maybe unrequited love at best.During the 8 years, Dylan cheated on her with someone she worked with, she allowed him to use her to cheat on all his other girlfriends he was with. He's even cheated on his current girlfriend/wife who has his kid on the way, with Mary and several others. Mary still wants to try to fight for him despite all of that. Once you got him, now what? He's not going to stay faithful to you again.
I don't like Mary constantly blaming this guy saying he "used" her to cheat, when she ALLOWED him to use her. She could have easily gotten out of that situation, but she's so desperate. I also am disappointed in Dylan's wife. If I found out someone cheated on me the first time, I would have left long ago. Now Dylan and his wife have brought a child into the picture into an unhealthy environment.Mary says that child's not going to have a good life, but allowing her ex to cheat with her, she's not helping the situation. She's even questioned herself, but still tries to win him back... I could never trust someone like that. If I were in her shoes, this battle would not be worth the fight. All I know is, this guy should be single for the rest of his life and rot. It makes my stomach turn that now he has a kid on the way.
That kid doesn't deserve a cheating scum father who probably won't even be there for the kid because he's too busy cheating on his wife. I wonder what his parents think of him, or if they even know how their son treats women. If my child treated women this way, I wouldn't defend him on it, and couldn't care less if he was my kid. That's just wrong; cheating on everyone he's ever been with. I would ask him why he even got into relationships in the first place if he's just going to cheat, cheat, cheat.Was your first time "special?" Or did you not care? As for me, I got tired of being a goody two shoes trying to wait for something that doesn't exist. It may exist for others, but it doesn't exist for me. At 21 years of age, the first time to me was just a learning experience to not hook up with the wrong people after. I'm actually glad I didn't lose it to someone special and if we would have broken up, it would have been much harder to get over and I probably would have behaved irrationally like Mary.
I think it's more important who the last person you end up marrying is, not the first person you lose it to. I know some guys don't really care to make their virginity this special deal. I even knew one guy I went to high school with who went to Amsterdam and lost it at one of those brothels in Amsterdam. More often than not, most people don't even wind up marrying who they lost their virginity to.No Regrets.

Hurricane back for the fun at Custer
The Hurricane Saxophone Quartet
Updated: June 12, 2012 8:29PM
There's a Hurricane predicted — once again — for the Custer's Last Stand Festival of the Arts in Evanston on June 16-17.
That is, Deerfield's Hurricane Saxophone Quartet will perform again this year, something the group has done just about every year since they formed in 1992.
"It's just been so much fun to play at the Custer Fair all these years," said Laura Pryzby, tenor saxophonist for the group. "We always have a lot of fun when we play there."
The Hurricane Quartet plays "from Bach to the Beatles and beyond," and can seamlessly blend a wide range of styles. But, said Pryzby, "At the fair, we'll play a lot more upbeat, fun tunes because it's just a fun atmosphere."
Light music
That means, said Holly Copeland Aaronson, baritone saxophonist for the quartet, "more Beatles and beyond, less Bach." And they might throw in some ragtime, big band, and show tunes.
"The four of us just really enjoy playing together," said Aaronson, who's a native of Skokie. "It's such a joy for us to get together and do something we all love."
The Hurricane Quartet also includes Amy Inmon on soprano saxophone and Debra Schweihs on alto saxophone.
Aaronson said the quartet formed when the four of them went to Northwestern University to study the saxophone. As part of the curriculum at Northwestern, all students played in quartets. "It was a natural progression," explained Aaronson. "It has evolved."
Over the years, the foursome has performed in classical recitals, community gatherings and cultural festivals, and has also been featured on the radio and on television. They've also played at several Chicago Bulls games.
Wedding Bulls
At one Bulls game, Pryzby said, one of the players got married during halftime and they played for the wedding.
"That was a lot of fun," she said. "That was a unique experience for sure."
Pryzby, a native of a suburb of Rochester, New York, said the variety of music the Hurricanes play has not changed much over the years.
"The idea of playing a range of music across centuries is something we've always done," she said. "But we all have young families, so that's kind of shifted things for us."
Aaronson said they still try to get together and play when time and family obligations permit.
"We've remained close friends and we enjoy playing together," she explained. "Old friends sometimes finish each other's sentences. We finish each other's musical sentences."

Tripod This tripod works well in the set up phase, but is far too light for the binoculars for which I bought the tripod. It allows too much movement for high magnification, leaving the viewing of distant objects difficult. It should be heavier duty and needs mechanical adjustments that are smooth and steady.

Jennifer Steen Booher's Beachcombing Photo Series Is So Simple And Tranquil
Jennifer Steen Booher's beachcombing photography series is so simple and beautifully arranged. We all love picking things up on the beach, the woods, on a walk, wherever, no matter what it is; stones, seaweed, odds and ends, shells, leaves, feathers, bones, old rope, etc, however, few of us go to the trouble that Booher does. Her work reminds me of relaxing walks with my wife and daughter, family outings, innocent times untroubled by work. It' so tranquil.
Here's what she has to say about her work:
I'm part magpie, part squirrel, part scientist, and part historian. I find things, hoard them, take them apart, and research them.
Her pictures go to show that photography is not just about capturing fleeting moments it can also be about discovering art in the steady patterns of daily life. Here she is again:
Each photo in the series documents the things I found beautiful or curious on a particular beach on a particular day. Because they are so rooted in time and place, the compositions become stylized beach portraits. As I research the things I find or observe, the photos also record my growing understanding of the coastal environment.

Culture Colony apology and cloud base news
24th July 2012
Dear Culture Colony members, apologies to those of you who tried to access the network yesterday only to receive a notice informing you of 'technical issues'.
All is well at the Colony and normal service has resumed today for everyone.
The web site went off line yesterday as we transferred our hosting to a cloud based system. Some members browsers may have experienced only a couple of hours disruption, while others were out all day. We were aware that the transfer was imminent, but were taken a bit by surprise when it did happen. So, we were unable to get a warning out there to the membership in time and we are sorry if this caused any inconvenience.
By using cloud computing technology, Culture Colony is now better placed to take advantage of new developments and grow with the evolution in mobile devices, ensuring that the Culture Colony facility continues to be of practical use to its membership in the future.
As the use of mobile devices to access content grows, cloud computing offers solutions to increase capacity and the streaming of data to provide users with a better quality service. As we develop Culture Colony for use on mobile devices, the hosting of the network (using this new technology) becomes more and more important - to ensure that the future experience of people accessing data and content from Culture Colony enhances their appreciation of art and events while visiting galleries or festivals. This is a new area of cultural experience that we hope our members will explore, taking advantage of opportunities to combine on-line experience with real world events. Culture Colony is providing a unique facility for the creative sector and we hope that it will be used, and have its limits pushed by the membership in our cultural evolution.

For but ich haue bote of mi bale I am ded as dorenail (c.1350).Dead soldier "emptied liquor bottle" is from 1913 in that form; the image is older:
Dead man, or Dead marine, a colloquialism for an empty bottle, possibly in humorous recognition of the fact that the spirits have departed. But the French also have the same phrase, un corps mort, a dead body, for which there can be no punning pretext. [Walsh, 1892]
In England "dead beat" means worn out, used up. ... But here, "dead beat" is used, as a substantive, to mean a scoundrel, a shiftless, swindling vagabond. We hear it said that such a man is a beat or a dead beat. The phrase thus used is not even good slang. It is neither humorous nor descriptive. There is not in it even a perversion of the sense of the words of which it is composed. Its origin is quite beyond conjecture. ["Americanisms," in "The Galaxy," January 1878]
It also was used of a kind of regulating mechanism in pendulum clocks.And he, the said Wirz, still wickedly pursuing his evil purpose, did establish and cause to be designated within the prison enclosure containing said prisoners a "dead line," being a line around the inner face of the stockade or wall enclosing said prison and about twenty feet distant from and within said stockade; and so established said dead line, which was in many places an imaginary line, in many other places marked by insecure and shifting strips of [boards nailed] upon the tops of small and insecure stakes or posts, he, the said Wirz, instructed the prison guard stationed around the top of said stockade to fire upon and kill any of the prisoners aforesaid who might touch, fall upon, pass over or under [or] across the said "dead line" .... ["Trial of Henry Wirz," Report of the Secretary of War, Oct. 31, 1865]

Alert: Contact Your Senator
The failure of Congress and the President to reach agreement on spending and taxes triggered across-the-board budget cuts (sequestration) on March 1, reducing science accounts by 5.9 percent. Subsequently the House incorporated the cuts into a full-year extension of the Continuing Resolution that had been funding all programs at FY 12 levels. Senate appropriators then approved a bill that would provide slight relief for some science accounts. On March 12, APS president Michael Turner sent an alert asking APS members to contact their senators immediately.

Alex Semin 14. Ryan Clowe 15. Sheldon Souray 16. Zach Bogosian |
I like your team even thought you should have a little more gamebreakers in a 9 team draft. I mean, you drafted Neal at 11 overall, to me that's a bit of a reach. Backes isn't that good in your set-up with your league not counting hits, but he gets some value back if he has wing eligibility due to FOW.
Your league is offensive oriented with only one ''agression'' stats being PIM. So good job on getting solid offensive contributors late in your draft. Semin in round #13 is very good. I am not so sure why you drafted Luongo ahead of Kipper, I'm wondering who was available when you took Luuu..

I like it. I think you did a pretty darn good job. That is all & good luck!
Pretty solid overall. Some comments/questions:
- Is this in Yahoo? - What are the position eligibilities? Based on Yahoo, you only have one pure centre so if you plan on putting Backes/Datsyuk there it's a bit of waste since it takes away from the value of having a winger who takes faceoffs. If you have another pure centre then it might be ok. But I'll guess at your setup based on Yahoo: C: Tavares, Backes L: Neal, Datsyuk, Semin R: Kane, St. Louis, Clowe D: Weber, Subban, Doughty, Souray, Bogosian G: Luongo, Kiprusoff, Niemi - I would drop Bogosian (not as much value in this league, even if he gets healthy for start) and pick up a pure centre who is solid in FOW. Who's available? Zajac? - Neal at 11 is not bad if you feel he can repeat last year. His value drops a bit without hits but depending on the options available (and if Yahoo he has L/R eligibility) he could be ok. - Backes in the third is too early IMO, even with FOW. Especially as mentioned before about whether he's been placed in your centre slot. I wonder if someone like Zetterberg (as a winger) was available at that pick or Toews (pure centre). PIM is easy to pick up late and is only one category (in a H2H not as crucial to have 'multi cat studs' and in this setup, especially when picking them early). But if you like him there then no worries. - Interesting going for Luongo in the 8th (could be great value) but then getting Kiprusoff and Niemi in the 11th/12th respectively!? That's great value. A small chance at some weekly conflicts given two are in the same division and all three are in the west (depending on how the new schedule will look). But I wouldn't worry too much, just something to keep in mind. - St. Louis in the 6th, Datsyuk in the 9th and Doughty in the 10th are solid picks. Overall, seems like a pretty good squad and other than dropping Bogosian for another centre I would gauge your performance in the early going to see if you need to adjust. Good luck. |
I like this draft a lot. It's a 2nd-4th best team, IMO.
Waiting on goalies in a 10-team league... paid-off, didn't it! A trifecta of Luongo (8th), Kipper (11th), and Niemi (12th)... that's a top 3 or top 5 goalie group and you probably drafted them later than anybody else. A+ on goalie draft strategy! I agree that reaching for Backes & P.Kane was a little early... but it's not terrible... and you are a lock to win FOW every week. The only tweak I'd make it to drop Bogosian for a guy that really takes a lot of FOW at center. Tomas Plekanec (C) is one of my favourite late picks and may be available in a shallow pool like this. He finished 5th in the NHL last year in FOW. He'll get your 55-60pts & 50-60 PIM. If he's there, I'd make that move. If not, Zajac (C-NJ) is a great pick and probably on the wire too. |
Awesome thanks everyone for your comments rep given ! I can drop Bogo for Plekanec or Kesler. I know Kesler is out for a bit but buy any chance he comes back around Dec/Jan? Or would Plekanec be the best option still? Yahoo pool with positions. The other change im considering making is droping Clowe for Wheeler... thoughts? The goalie strat was awesome and having the corner just worked out perfect. I agree bit of a reach with Neal and Backes but hopefully when I drop Bogo that will fix that situation.
Last edited by bluck; 10-30-2012 at 02:32 AM. |
By name recognition, Kesler is the sexier commodity.
If he's at full health, he's the better option. That said, Plekanec is a very solid option in FOW leagues. He had a bad year, but a new coach in Montreal might shuffle lines and re-promote Plekanec to Line 1 & PP1. I mean... is David Desharnais really a #1 center? |
Here's the final roster folks, thanks for all the help and hopefully this can pull me to a championship!
C: Tavares, Kesler L: Neal, Datsyuk R: St. Louis, Backes D: Weber, Subban, Doughty, Souray G: Luongo, Kiprusoff, Niemi BN - Kane, Semin, Clowe |
Awesome job getting quality goaltending that late in the draft. As Pengwin7 said earlier, that should cement your spot in the top 3 for this league. Good work!

I don't think there's anything wrong w/ Neal at 11. Frankly I think he's a bit of steal there. If Crosby and Letang are healthy the penguins PP will be clicking even more efficiently than last season. He was top 2 in shots last season, could have a healthy dose of PIMs and go plus. That's all your forward categories except face offs, and he might have dual eligibility on the wings.
Subban was a great pick, and goalies are always a wild card. Luongo/Kipper could be a dynamite starting pair or could flame out spectacularly (no pun intended). I like your late picks of Semin and Clowe, they should both be solid depth guys for you if injuries flare up. I don't like your bottom 2 d-men, souray and bogosian (just because of bogosian's injury, i think he'll be the Jets best d-man in a two years). Is anyone available on the free agent wire? John Carlson maybe? All in all, good draft, especially for a first year. Good luck! |

I don't care what "they" say: Things are NOT getting better.
A number of things have happened recently that lead me to the conclusion that, despite what the federal government wants us to think, the economy – at least when it comes to jobs – is not improving.
I base this belief on admittedly anecdotal observations, but taken as a whole, my sense is that there's little light at the end of the tunnel not only for me, but for many millions of my fellow formerly productive U.S. citizens who are still losing jobs or who can't find new jobs.
For example: Yesterday I heard from a friend of mine who's had high-level marketing and communications jobs with big New York City corporations for years. His job's being eliminated now; not two or three years ago, but now. That doesn't sound like change to me.
Or this: I saw a job posted the other day that sounded perfect for me. Even better, I know someone who knows someone who works there. I contacted my friend and she contacted her friend at the company. The response? Although my friend was told to have me submit my application (which I did), she was warned, "…I have received so many resumés, it will be impossible to interview/consider all qualified candidates." In other words, my application will be a needle in a haystack – as usual. No change there.
As an aside, it's starting to make me wonder about something. We're always told to network because having connections is supposed to help you get jobs. But how valuable is it to have connections at the place you're applying to when, among the scores of other applicants, chances are that many of those people have connections too? Is my connection better than your connection?
Maybe now you shouldn't apply for a job unless you have multiple connections to that company. Or maybe the swamped employers discount connections entirely because so many people have them. How helpful are they really, at least in this abnormally bad job market? I'm becoming somewhat skeptical as to their ability to make much difference.
Another reason I doubt that the job market is improving is the fact that I've been receiving more nibbles lately about temporary or contract or part-time work. Employers do this when they don't want to risk the expense of a full-time hire or are so uncertain about the future that they aren't committing to additional full-time employees. Again, no change.
You might say that these are only one person's experiences and that's true; but I'm hearing these same kinds of stories from lots of other people, both employed and unemployed. I do not hear anyone saying, as I heard Vice President Biden say today in a speech in Ohio:
There are signs of life and hope in the heartland. Jobs are starting to come back…the kind of jobs you can build a middle-class family on. They're manufacturing jobs, decent paying jobs so you can live in a safe neighborhood, own your home, not rent your home. If the kid wants to, be able to send your kid to college, or send 'em to trade school.
This sounds great, and the March 2012 unemployment rate in Ohio was 7.5 percent; much better than here in New Jersey, where the unemployment rate has been stuck at 9 percent or above for the past 12 months.
I'm not feeling the hope, and I'm not seeing it either. How about you? Do you think the job situation is improving in the Garden State? Let me know.

Just announced today (May 18): New Jersey's unemployment rate went up in April, from 9 percent to 9.1 percent, apparently because more of us were looking for jobs. (http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2012/05/new_jersey_jobs_grow_in_april.html)

Since everyone has an anecdote, I'll contribute mine.
I consult for manufacturing companies throughout NJ and PA. Business is picking up for most companies. A lot of companies are seeing work that normally would have went overseas, come back here.
They are hiring. But they cannot find qualified applicants for the jobs. This is happening at every client I talk to.
The economy went to sleep, while it slept it fundamentally changed. The skills that employed people in the old economy are not sufficient for Economy 2.0.
Until the skills gap is recognized this problem is going to continue.

Kurt, what are the skills that workers are lacking? And how can we acquire these skills? Thanks.
5:53 am on Tuesday, May 22, 2012
People who can learn a new skill in a few weeks, people who can wear many hats, will always be able to get work. Even older workers.
The US workers health insurance system is designed to keep young people off the streets at the expense of older workers. Of course we are the poster child for healthcare unaffordability and injustices, but its also designed to keep politicians insulated from responsibilities that the politicians everywhere else have. In exchange for ERISA,- free money- the politicians get plausible deniability of all responsibility for the mess.
Health insurance cost gives US companies a reason to lay American workers off at 40 or 50. They consider insurance costs as part of a workers salary. Thats where the raises of the last four decades have gone, down the ever widening insurance black hole. Its a bad deal for all of us. When workers are happier and less stressed, they remember more. They work longer and live much longer. That is very important for staying employable. ERISA gives the health insurance companies free money. Employers and workers must buy crippled insurance that is intentionally, criminally inadequate: 'prevent care'. Often patients in the US now only discover this when they are terminally ill, because they were never diagnosed until its too late. Often, people die decades before they would otherwise, and the taxpayer ends up picking up the tab ANYWAY. But its far more expensive that way. A stitch in time saves nine.

I see the workplace of 2025 as being mostly automated. The jobs that exist will be very high level, and they will require a level and breadth of knowledge of people that is not so common in many workplaces today. A new technology emerges, is highly profitable for several years but is inevitably rapidly commodified and obsolescence then often overtakes entire industries. A new game changing approach, technology or product often changes the landscape of a market in two or three years. Virtually overnight. Obviously, students in vocational schools often are taught the old way, which focuses on tools or skills, and those skills are often obsolete before they are even finished learning them. Instead, they need to learn enough to be literate in basic technologies that give them a solid foundation for further learning, basically, teach them the shape of the landscape, how to learn. so they can adapt. As the average job might be for five years or even less. I think literacy in embedded systems, databases, computer science, biotechnology are the keys to employment Kids need to understand the importance of doing original work in an area, not just doing problems from a book they will forget soon after. The schools can teach math and physics in a way kids remember by solving exciting, multidisciplinary problems with technology.

Very true Fran I dont see it either and it seems like typical election year chatter.

And here's yet more confirmation that the older unemployed have the hardest time getting hired today. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/05/why-older-americans-have-the-worst-long-term-unemployment-crisis/257228/
5:53 am on Tuesday, May 22, 2012
Some companies that have not hired in a long time are hiring. And they often can't find the people with the skills they want. Believe it or not, that is true. There is definitely a mismatch between many new jobs and workers skills. If they can find someone who is a good match, they pay them very well. Because if they don't they will bail. In the last few months I have seen a lot of people that I know who have been working for themselves for years and doing very poorly, getting hired, or getting m freelance work.
But its never going to be the 20th century again. I think that in 20 years, a great many businesses will hum along with hardly *any* people.
I think this century will be a very difficult one for that reason, and its completely unavoidable. We have to embrace that future.
Look at the bright side, if we survive it, if we come out on the other side of this challenge, its a very bright future.
People will be living a lot longer and we will have a lot to do in all that extra time. There have been huge decreases in birth rates in other industrialized countries. That would be true here too if it wasn't for immigration.
There won't be as many workers, a fraction of today. But they will be very highly skilled and their jobs won't be like a job, they will be like school, or research. People will be more mobile, families will span multiple continents. Quality of life could increase a lot
12:25 pm on Tuesday, May 22, 2012
Fran "In other words, my application will be a needle in a haystack – as usual. No change there" What do you suggest to change this? Another Black Death? (which incidentally, did increase wages, spelling the death of feudalism) Wages are driven by supply and demand, period. During the postwar era, the rest of the industrialized world was rubble and the microprocessor was yet to be born, so for at least two decades, US workers were king of the hill. People, the cheapest supercomputers, were scarce, and also many were in relative terms, better educated than now (thanks to the GI bill.) Now even the military is going automated. We simply cannot expect full employment. We should do what we can to encourage those who can afford to to retire early. We could go to a 32 hour week also. That seems like a no-brainer to me. Study after study shows that people get more done during the week when they have high quality downtime. All of Europe takes a month off in the summer. Literally. Here, we don't have a single mandatory national holiday. Even China shuts down for at least a week for New Years and May Day. Why not pay people with good proposals to learn things they are interested in and then develop new products with that knowledge? We spend SO much on the military, we are impoverishing our country. Who would attack us, and why-to get our problems? No thank you.

I don't want another "Black Death," but I don't think we have to accept that today's high unemployment represents the "new normal." I believe that the high unemployment rate is the result of policies in Washington, D.C. that are paralyzing economic growth.

Another winner from our new summer menu, the inspired minted egg mayo wrap is definitely worth grabbing for lunch or even for a late breakfast.
What the chef says:
"mint and cucumber with egg mayo are a great mix, both in flavours and textures; plus a small amount of crumbled Cheshire cheese brings a slight acidity to it - using a wholemeal wrap makes this a healthy combination."
The bread? The filling?
For a sandwich worth savouring, Euphorium's summer sandwiches tick both boxes with great filling combinations and delicious artisan bread.
Chef Alex is raving about the roast lamb & mint jelly campaillette today.
"Lamb and mint work great together, as we all know. Both strong flavours, brought back down by a subtle sweet pea crème fraîche texture and slight bitterness from radicchio, makes it the best sandwich for spring/summer - and campaillette is finally back!"
Grab yourself one this lunch time, treat yourself to a Euphorium cake just for good measure, and head for the sunshine :)
Our granola pot, nestled here next to the Bircher muesli, is flying off the shelves. It must be the scrummy combination of honey granola, vanilla flavoured plain yoghurt topped with cherry compote and Manuka honey.(Oh, and if you didn't know... Manuka honey is packed with healthy enzymes).
We have some delicious new breakfast pots from our summer menu at a Euphorium bakery near you. granola & cherry compote / exotic fruit salad / Bircher muesli
Our chef Alex recommends the muesli: "Chia seeds contain more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon, a wealth of antioxidants and minerals, a complete source of protein and more fibre than flax seed, the seeds have been dubbed dieters dream. Blueberries are also a very high source of vitamins and antioxidants. Agave syrup maintains a very low GI level, and hazelnuts work really well with pears"
If you want to sample these very delights, pop into your local euphorium bakery
...but once you've tasted our new seasonal menu we think you'll disagree. Soak up the sunshine with summer flavours in our best of British breakfast and daily sandwich sensations. Granola & cherry compote, exotic fruit salad with refreshing summer mint & lime, roast mushroom & gruyere croissant... smoked salmon & dill sandwich, minted egg mayo & cucumber wrap... just some of our range designed to tempt your taste buds.

A few weeks ago I asked the question "what has your network done for you lately?" Well, someone in my network hooked me up with an impromptu invitation to a White House Q & A session on President Obama's proposed American Jobs Act. It was much appreciated. The invitation was extended to "young entrepreneurs, new media enthusiasts and bloggers" but it was apparent that there were people who fell into other categories in attendance as well.
The panel included heavy hitters Melody Barnes, Director of the Domestic Policy Council, Shaun Donovan, US Secretary for Housing and Urban Development, Marie Johns, Deputy Administrator of the US Small Business Administration, Ambassador Ron Kirk, US Trade Representative and Gene Sperling, Director of the National Economic Council. Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama, did the opening and closing remarks.
Representatives from The Grio, Hello Beautiful, The Urban Daily, Black Planet and News One were on hand to ask the panel questions from their readers and a few questions were taken via Twitter and from the live audience. At the end of the hour, as we expected to hear Ms. Jarrett's closing remarks, instead we got a surprise visit from the President. He came out to highlight the major points of the Act, answered a couple of questions (even teased a guy about the Chicago Bears beating the Atlanta Falcons) and asked us all to spread the word about the Act.
The White House intended for this to be an interactive event and provided us with the hashtags #AtTheWH to tweet about the event and #WHchat to ask questions, but unfortunately I couldn't get a signal. At all. Thanks AT&T! Not.
All in all, it was a very cool way to spend a Monday afternoon. Thanks, Brian Citizen!
