The Two Faces of Unionism
Our research demonstrates that the view of unions as organizations whose chief function is to raise wages is seriously misleading. For in addition to raising wages, unions have significant non-wage effects which influence diverse aspects of modern industrial life. By providing workers with a voice both at the workplace and in the political arena, unions can and do affect positively the functioning of the economic and social systems. Although our research on the non-wage effects of trade unions is by no means complete and some results will surely change as more evidence becomes available, enough work has been done to yield the broad outlines of a new view of unionism.Download Info

Satriale's Pork House. Pussy walks into a room with Bacala following. It's amazing how similar their bellies are. Tony's surrounded by his men, sitting with his feet up, wearing a Cheshire grin. The room is some kind of meat freezer. "The last man standing," Tony calls Bacala. He keeps giving him a hard time until Bacala just looks down to keep from saying anything or showing any emotion. Tony tells him to look at him and not the floor. He tells him to "talk to that bald cocksucker that calls himself [Tony's] father's brother." Tony says that he's going to tell Bacala everything he needs to tell Junior, and that he needs to keep it between that room and Junior's ears or Bacala will find himself inside eight different dumpsters. Bacala says that he inherited Junior, and he doesn't think that Tony needs to talk to him this way. "I always liked you," he says. Tony says that's bullshit, but he'll assume he likes him now. Tony says that Junior gets five percent now. That's his share. The joint-fitters union is all his now as well. He says that Junior gets to keep his stripes. He says the Feds think that most of the family is in jail right now, and if they hear differently it'll cause confusion. He says the rest of what Junior owns is now Tony's. Bacala says he'll tell Junior everything. "That's it," Tony concludes. Bacala turns to leave but then stops. He turns around and says, "To the victor belongs the spoils." Not missing a beat, Tony answers, "Why don't you get the fuck out of here before I shove your quotations book up your fat fucking ass?" Tony and Bacala are my two favorite characters on this show as it is, and that's my favorite exchange between the two of them. Bacala leaves.
Pussy's back surgery is finished, and Lispy Skip is there to pick him up. Pussy's pretty drugged up here, and he's mumbling and echoing everyone as the doctor tells Skip that the injection went fine and he should start to feel better in a couple of days.
In the car, Pussy tells Skip that his back doesn't feel any different. Skip reminds him that it should take a couple of days for the steroids to kick in. Pussy wants his Jacuzzi. Skip says there's too much stress in Pussy's life. He asks if Tony knows he's back yet. Pussy shouts that Tony doesn't and that he just got back. Skip lisps around that he's seen guys play both sides against the middle before, and he was just checking with Pussy to see if he's legit. Yeah, usually when you ask a mob guy who's a rat for the Feds a question, the first thing out of his mouth is almost always the truth. Pussy shouts that he has to be careful. Skip says that any information about Pussy being an informant went to the grave with Jimmy Altieri. Pussy reminds Skip that he's known Tony for thirty years. Skip says they want results. He reminds Pussy that Tony tried to kill his own mother. Pussy says that Tony is a disgrace. Skip says that Tony's uncle wanted him whacked and that he's talking to a shrink and that Pussy shouldn't take a bullet for this "yuppie."

solid tiles are teal, brick red and sapphire blue. The blue tiles appear to be almost lavender-gray in the photo. I'm trying to determine that's due to the lighting, the fact that's it's a photo or if it's the result of the blue tiles being contrasted by the other colors?? Thank you!

Dr. King Was A Man, "The Dreamer" Is A Zombie
by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon
Gary Younge points out that King's "I Have A Dream" speech wasn't offered as the penultimate moment of his career till after his death. Those who offer it were the same corporate media honchos who first elevated, then slimed and slandered King the last year of his life. "The Dreamer" too is their construct, as far from the man who lived and died as an ordinary person from a brain-eating zombie.
Dr. King Was A Man, "The Dreamer" Is A Zombie
by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon
I'm too young to have memories of the 1963 March for Jobs and Freedom in DC. I was twelve, and preoccupied with whatever 12 year olds are worried about. But by the time Dr. King was murdered in Memphis I was a high school senior and full-blown political activist in circles that both respected and criticized Dr. King.
By the fall of '67 I was helping organize black high school students in Chicago. Some veterans of SNCC, back from the South introduced us to a number of former soldiers and marines fresh back from the war in Vietnam.
The vets told us horrific stories of indiscriminate murders and atrocities for which they acknowledged a share of guilt, if only for not being able to effectively interfere. Out there in the mud and the stink and the fear and the killing they'd had few choices, none of them good. They had a point. After all, just how does one interfere with a bunch of heavily armed men in the midst of a killing spree, men with whom you will be living the next several months if you live at all? They also told us that despite the ferocity of the US assault on Vietnam, that Uncle Sam seemed to be losing the war. They said that several engagements for which the press claimed "light to moderate casualties" close to a third of their units were wounded or killed. They told us that at night sometimes they could hear the Vietcong shouting to them in English "black man, why are you fighting here instead of at home?" and much more.
They endured, they survived and they came home to tell these stories to, us only a couple years younger, so that unlike them, we could make moral and responsible choices on this side of the water, not in uniform and not in fear for our lives. We took those vets from high school to high school in the fall of 1967 to tell their stories to hundreds of black high school students on the south and west sides of Chicago. When the Vietnamese, taking the Pentagon by surprise, staged a January 1968 countrywide uprising on Tet, the lunar new year, seizing every provincial capital and the bottom few stories of the US embassy, it seemed to prove the vets, and the much maligned Dr. King too, right about that as well.
I remember partying the night President Johnson, politically exhausted by the war, announced he would not run for re-election. By the time Dr. King was murdered the following week, I had been paying close attention to his career and its meaning for a couple years.
I recall that when I first noticed Dr. King, the establishment media and many whites as well, made the man out to be a kind of living saint, an embodiment of moral conscience put to political action. Then, in the spring of 1967, Dr. King unequivocally denounced the war in Vietnam as unjust and immoral. He called the US government the greatest purveyor of violence on earth, and predicted that if nothing changed for the better we'd be marching to stop future murderous and unjust imperial wars in other places without end.
In the four decades since, I never saw anything like the instant turnaround the establishment media did on Dr. King. Overnight the chorus of praise and approbation turned into a perfect media storm of abuse and calumny. He was denounced as arrogant and ungrateful, traitorous and deceitful, a hypocritical dupe of the communists, and on and on. By the time of his death a year later Dr. King was one of the most reviled and hated figures in the nation.
When King was murdered, civil uprisings occurred in scores of US cities, and the establishment myth makers made a second 180 degree turn. While the smoke rose from burning cities you heard the first references to Dr. King not as a champion of economic justice, not as a moral voice against militarism and empire, not the fighter for a guaranteed minimum income for all, but as "The Dreamer." Media figures began instructing us on "Dr. King's Dream" – something nobody ever heard of before – as the reference point for our past struggle, our present predicament and our future agenda. Thus, as Gary Younge points out in his recent book, a new Dr. King was constructed
This new Dr. King didn't call into question poverty. But he did have a dream. This new Dr. King stopped wondering, as the living King once did, why people pay water bills in a world that's two-thirds water. But still, he had a dream. This new Dr. King never again mentioned the right of black workers to form unions and negotiate for their dignity and livelihoods. But this new guy, he had a dream.
The Dreamer as we know him today bears little resemblance to the man who was murdered in 1968. The Dreamer was constructed out of whole cloth by the same powerful media institutions which built King up in 1965 and 66, which denounced and slandered him 67 and 68, and made him a useful saint after his death. King never lived to be forty, so the Dreamer has already lived longer than the man, and for the powerful, has been far more useful. It's no mistake that a single speech in 1963 commemorated this week, was chosen by the establishment to represent the man's life work, and to negate it.
Being dead, King cannot object to his life's work being summed up as "a dream." The Dreamer will never question the integrity of Eric Holder, the first black attorney general, who fights to keep black people in prison under the old 100 to 1 crack vs cocaine penalties three years after the enactment of a law reducing those penalties, and colludes in the false imprisonment of countless numbers of black defendants on illegally obtained evidence.
The Dreamer won't remind us that the dire predictions of the living Dr. King, that we'd be marching to oppose wars without end, have come true, or that 45 years after his death the US is still the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. And he certainly can't raise a prophetic voice to call out the first black president to blow up black and brown babies in Somalia, Pakistan and who knows where else with cruise missiles, or the first black president to try to prosecute truth-telling government employees for espionage. "The Dreamer" won't question the black president who has endorsed the bipartisan agendas of privatizing public education and slashing social security, who the president who, once in office, forgot his own promises to raise the minimum wage, to make it possible to organize unions, to deliver single payer health care and repeal the PATRIOT Act.
The Dreamer can't dispute Obama's twisted notion that poor people stalled "the movement" by using racism as an excuse to "give up on themselves." The Dreamer can't make his lips question the Obama administration's increasing reliance on supermax prisons, universal surveillance, or bailouts for Wall Street.
The week spent commemorating :"the Dream" is a great way to forget the real past, ignore the real present and avoid responsibility for the future. It's a great excuse to assemble stars and celebrities and politicians, to pretend that the rise and prominence of the black political class was the foreordained outcome of the historic Freedom Movement in which the real Dr. King lived, worked and died. It's a great distraction from the fact that apart from their own careers, the black political class, right up to and including President Obama, have achieved very little in the way of substantive victories for our people in the last four decades.
For me, one of the lessons of Dr. King's career and that of "the Dreamer", who was born after the flesh and blood man was murdered, is the willingness of establishment media to rewrite history even as it's being made, to blunt popular consciousness, to erase past sins, to stunt and limit our vision of the better world we know is possible. The Dreamer is a zombie, immortalized in a monumnet paid for by Wal-Mart, Boeing, Bank of America, British Petroleum and other corporate criminals. The folks I ran with four decades ago, and run with today disagreed with Dr. King, but we admire him. We never had much use though, for "The Dreamer."

Japan Finmin: 2 pct inflation target will not easy to achieve
TOKYO, March 22
- Tweet
- Share this
TOKYO, March 22 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Friday that it would not be easy to achieve the Bank of Japan's new 2 percent inflation target.
"It will take a considerable period of time to turn deflation into inflation and to meet the 2 percent inflation target," Aso told reporters after a cabinet meeting.
Asked about the need to revise the law guaranteeing independence of the BOJ if it fails to meet the inflation target, Aso said it would be wrong to put all blame on the central bank.
The new BOJ governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Thursday the central bank is ready to use all means available, including buying longer-term assets, to achieve its 2 percent inflation target, underlining his resolve to beat nearly two decades of grinding deflation.

Question from xXNinjahzXx
How can I raise my "The Strip" Reputation?
I need help with raising my "The Strip" Rep. I cannot find any quests within the Strip or anywhere that would raise my rep.
@9392 Ah thanks. I can't do the White glove Society because I need more rep on the Strip, kind of the catalyst for asking this question. I'm going to try the other two you suggested and look for more. I'll keep the question open and see if it crosses anyone who has raised their Strip Rep.

As promised, Dust: An Elysian Tail has found its way to Steam today. Until May 31, you can grab Dust for $13.50, ten percent off its usual $15 asking price.
The action-adventure RPG from Humble Heart made its debut on Xbox Live Arcade back in August as part of the Summer of Arcade promotion. Despite how vast Dust: An Elysian Tail is, it's actually missing a third of its intended story, which was cut due to the months of extra time it would've taken to finalize the larger vision. Even with the omitted content, Dust: An Elysian Tail turned out to be a fine game.

Xenoblade Chronicles spotted on GameFly
April 3, 2012 by Elias | Filed under News, Rumors, Wii.It looks like GameStop and Nintendo's online store aren't the only places you can get your eager hands on the highly-praised Wii RPG Xenoblade Chronicles, as the game can apparently be rented from GameFly as well.
Visiting GameFly's official website lets you queue up the game, which was originally a Japan-exclusive, but will now see the light of day in North America on April 6.
Previously, is was said that XC would only be available from GameStop or Nintendo's online store. Whatever the case, I've already queued up the game up in GameFly account and put it all the way to the top of my GameQ list in hopes of dusting off my Wii and seeing just how awesome XC really is.

A robber wielding a baseball bat hit two Wauwatosa dry-cleaning businesses within a matter of minutes Friday evening.
According to Wauwatosa police:
A man said he was picking up clothes at Martinizing Dry Cleaning, 6737 Milwaukee Ave., at 6:39 p.m., but a search in the computer showed no orders in his name. When the clerk told him that, he walked around the counter and showed a wooden bat. He said, "This is a robbery. Give me all your money or I'll smack you with this bat."
He fled with the money before officers arrived.
As police started their investigation of that robbery, they received a call that Master Dry Cleaners, 6326 W. Blue Mound Road, had been hit.
The man again gave the same name and showed a baseball bat when the clerk could not find his order. She tried to call 911, but the robber came at her.
After a struggle, he ran out the door, apparently without taking any money.

i would love to rent a small place in a village in france to just relax with my husband and walk around,maybe drive to other areas some days.i think i have this "chocolat" kind of fantasy.does anyone have any experience renting a quaint house ,also what areas would be better. also, how hard is it to get to these areas?

Wow - that's a pretty general question. We've rented about 40 different "quaint" gites. All of them near (but not in) quaint villages. There are hundreds & hundreds of quaint villages in France.
The villages where Chocolate was filmed was in Burgundy, but the village itself was a huge letdown for use - very "ratty".
If I may make a suggestion - read some tour books and find a region that interests you (Provence, Cote d'Azur, Dordogne, Pays Basque, Brittany, Ardeche, Alsace, Roussillon, Beaujolais, Burgundy, Loire, Auvergne, Alps, Franche Comte, etc) and then select a quaint village, and then a house near the village.
We find Gites here

You find quaint villages everywhere in France.
If you want to rent a quaint house, you will find a good supply especially in these areas:
- Brittany.
- Provence.
- Cote d'Azur.
- Bourgogne.
- Dordogne.
- Alsace.
We have been to all these regions and have rented vacation homes there - and I can't tell which region I would prefer. They are all different and all have their beauty.
For many of these regions you will find specialised agencies for vacation rentals, most of them are based in Europe (not just VRBO). Do some internet research!
Experiences: We have found wonderful houses - all classes, some of them fancy, others more rustic. We always look for a fireplace and, in Southern France, for a private pool. Expect that even in high-end villas, the standards are often lower than what I have experienced with VRBO rentals in USA. In practically every house in France we experienced at least once an electrical shutdown. We always take a flashlight and make ourselves familiar with the electrical fuses (most of the time they are outdoors) so that we can fix it in darkness. Also expect rather poor beds and odd linens. It is part of the fun, but may cause an aching spine.
In any case, do a thorough internet research and look carefully at the photos which are provided. If there is only one thumbnail photo, skip it. There should be at least a photo of the bathroom, the kitchen and the garden. If you have found a promising house, locate it with Google Earth.
Be prepared that the landlords does not speak English, just French.
For most of vacation rentals, you need a car. -

I'm not an expert but thought I would share-
I spent 2 weeks in the quaint village of Lourmarin in Provence and thought it was lovely. You can explore the area each day or relax and hang out in the village. The Friday market is wonderful.
What time of year are you planning this trip and for how long?
You will need to fly into Marseille airport (a small and easy to navigate airport) and drive 45 minutes to Lourmarin.
Car rental-
Depending on the time of year, you may consider staying outside a village at a place with a pool. Search slowtrav.com for review on places to stay-
I'm sure others will have other recommendations.
Enjoy! -

Strange - we've stayed in Gites for about 70 weeks total. I don't recall ever loosing electricity. Gas supplying the hot water source or the cooktop, a few times, but never electricity. We travel in June & Sept, however. Maybe electricity is more temperamental in stormy seasons. Several proprietors have instructed us on how to unplug the TV in case of a storm.

Gosh, where to begin? I don't think anyone can be of much help here until you've gone to the library and leafed through "The Most Beautiful Villages of France" and a ton of guidebooks and picture books, plus done a lot of internet research. There are thousands and thousands of quaint villages in every corner of France, and dozens and dozens of houses in each of them.
You need to narrow it down and learn more about the regions. -

When my wife and I started our trips to France we had the "Most Beautiful Villages" book, and while I am sure many others did too, we never really experienced ridiculous crowds. Having said that, we always travled in September, and we never stayed in one place.

You might want to try the Limousin region of France; the provinces of Creuse, Haut-Vienne and Correze. This is rural France at its' best. I have driven through the region and it does have its' charms. You might wish to visit Aubusson, a lovely town famous for tapestries on the banks of the Cruese river at the base of a ravine. Limoges is the major city of the region, famous for porcelain. Further south you could visit Collonges la Rouge which is a delightful village, albeit a bit touristy, famous for its' red sandstone buildings. This is a region of France for people who want to get away from it all.
Report Abuse
Corrèze - oh dear, no. And Collonges-la-Rouge is a tourist mecca, an artist colony and all that.
And Stu, we have power outages at my house in the Dordogne all the time in summer when there are thunder storms. -
Report Abuse
Admittedly, Collonges is touristy as I mentioned in my post but as a region towns such as Turenne and Uzerche are picturesque villages in the Correze which is what Ihover seems to be looking for.
Report Abuse
There are some lovely places in the Haute Pyrenees and the Gers too. Marciac would be one place to look at; and Castelnau Magnoac; and Arreau in te foothills of teh Pyrenees; Mirande or Bagneres de Bigorre are maybe a bit big/busy.
We have problems with power at our place all the time. One day I'll get round to getting it fixed.

The Big Moment: The air was filled with wailing. Locals entered the morgue to identify relatives
A series of articles from The Independent archive recalling key events of the past decade: the siege of Beslan ends, 3 September 2004
Russia's ongoing conflict with Chechnya reached a horrific apogee with the siege of more than a thousand pupils in a school in Beslan, a town in north Ossetia. On the third day of the stand off, Russian troops stormed the building, using a range of artillery and exploding parts of the school in an attempt to overwhelm the militants. Hundreds of hostages, many of them children, were killed in the ensuing gun battle. Several hundred more were injured. Western journalists arriving on the scene were confronted with a display of horror most had thought unimaginable.
The children were laid out in a row. Fourteen bodies on the dry grass, their eyes rolled upwards, their faces caked in blood, frozen in time with shock. All wore only their underclothing. Blood-stained white bedsheets barely covered their tiny torsos. Pink cardboard labels were tagged to their small feet, marked with their names.
Hours earlier, they had been huddled together, frightened out of their wits in Beslan's now burnt-out school gymnasium; now they were laid out on the grass in front of the town's white-washed morgue which was too full to accommodate them.
Inside the morgue, at least 40 more bodies were piled on metal plinths and scattered on the floor, already starting to decompose in the blistering September heat and there were said to be many more corpses in the town's enormous sprawling hospital opposite.
Locals covered their faces with handkerchiefs to stifle the smell as – one or two at a time – people went in to try and identify their loved ones.
The 14 bodies outside were so small and the children so young – some looked like they were just five years old – that sometimes two children were squeezed on to the dark green military stretchers.
The air around Beslan's morgue and hospital was filled with wailing yesterday evening as the brutal reality came home that 100 or more people - most of them children - had been slaughtered in the bloody denouement of the 53-hour siege when Russian troops stormed the school.
It is unclear how the battle between the hostage-takers and Russian special forces began. But it seems to have been triggered when a number of children tried to escape at about 10am British time, when the fighters had agreed to allow a vehicle to remove number of dead bodies.
Two enormous explosions reverberated across the town and then the shooting begun. Rocket-propelled grenades screeched across the sky as MiG helicopter gunships hovered overhead, feeding intelligence to Russian special forces troops on the ground. Machine-gun, pistol and high-velocity rifle shots filled the air for the next five hours as the authorities fought a desperate battle to get to the hostages before it was too late. The children were running naked and bloodstained out of the building.
As soon as the Russian forces began returning fire, the terrorists detonated explosives and brought down the school roof. Gunfire and explosions went on for more than an hour and hostages fled in terror. Parents and local men armed with hunting rifles besieged the building seeking their loved ones.
Many of the victims were treated at the scene amid the chaos of the gun battle but, at the last count, 556 were taken to hospital, 332 of them children. Apart from gunshot wounds, many were dehydrated after being refused water.
In the hospital morgue, a broken man clutched his dead son's lifeless hand unable to cry any more, while three women collapsed on their knees when they found the little boy they had been looking for. The boy's grandmother nervously pulled back the white sheet to reveal his bomb-blasted body, the flesh lacerated and hanging off in places – his mother simply screamed, beating the ground with her fists. Strangled, tear-choked refrains of "Oh my God" echoed everywhere as those who had lost loved ones vented grief.
"Vladislav" (a boy's name), screamed one woman repeatedly as she staggered around on the grass. "I'm going to go mad. They should have killed me instead." Several woman collapsed in shock and needed treatment when they discovered the worst by consulting hastily-printed sheets of the dead and living but most simply cried until there were no more tears.
Sitting on a bench surrounded by hundreds of weeping people, Bela could not stop sobbing after finding the lifeless body of Regina, her 14-year-old niece, in the hospital. "Poor little girl. Her mother doesn't even know she is dead yet because she is still in the hospital searching for another child. I'd already told her that Regina was safe. What am I going to tell her now?"
"They killed her," she intoned repeatedly, overwrought with shock and grief. "It was definitely her. I could tell by the eyes." A few metres away, a man called Goram stared listlessly into the middle distance as he said that his eight year-old niece was still unaccounted for.
Yet the day had started with hope after Lev Dzugaev, a spokesman for North Ossetia's president, said a deal had been struck to collect the corpses of the dead which had been lying in the sun for more than two days.
At that stage, he reassured the media, "according to the information we have all the children are safe and we hope to secure the release of more of them today." At 13.05 (10.05 BST) Beslan's fear-racked residents knew, however, that all was not well.
As the shooting intensified, waiting relatives could not contain themselves and many of the women began to shriek, shake their heads and stagger. It wasn't too long, however, before a crowd of relatives nervously watching Russian soldiers sprinting for cover gave an enormous collective sigh of relief as a burly man in a Hawaiian shirt was spotted running across the road with a small boy in his arms. The boy's face was contorted in horror and shock and his skin badly burnt.
A small trickle of hostages then began to emerge into the sunlight, some on their own feet but most cradled in rescuers' arms or prostrate in the back of an ambulance or an estate car. A boy in black underpants staggered along the pavement while his mother, in a red dress, followed closely behind.
Shortly afterwards a girl on a stretcher, her dress soaked in her own blood, was rushed out. Cars beeped their horns as they rushed the victims towards the hospital while local men clutching Kalashnikov machine-guns and shotguns implored the authorities to allow them to help.
"I have to help," said one man. "My daughter is inside." Another man who had apparently been held hostage walked along the pavement unsteadily. His eyes wide open with horror, and his arms shaking uncontrollably, his gaunt face resembled the figure in Edward Munch's The Scream. A man who had been praying suddenly reached for his mobile phone. "Are you sure it's him. He's in hospital?" he shouted before sprinting to his car. A steady stream of ambulances then raced away from the school as people strained to peer inside the speeding vehicles to see if their loved ones were safe. The main collection point for the hostages quickly became chaotic.
A dark day for Russia. A day of foreboding for the rest of the watching world.

High School Senior Portraits:
Creating a fun experience for my seniors in the Santa Clarita Valley is one of my top priorities. We work together on styling their session in a way that will make their Senior Portraits be uniquely them. Each is senior is so different. It is exciting to get to know each personality and find a venue that excites them and helps them get into their session.
Morgan is such a fabulous person! I love her passionate and yet soooo sweet personality. She really listens to people when they talk which is evidence of her loving character. Morgan is enjoying looking at colleges where she wants to major in psychology. This high school senior love English, Reading, children and being creative in her drawing and writing. She really has the whole world in front of her.
Morgan is a high school senior at Valencia High School. She wanted her senior portraits to be infused with her passion, running.

If I'd been out til a quater to three would ya lock the door? Will you need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?
"You'll be older too, and if you say the word I could stay with you"
"I could be handy mending a fuse when your lights have gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday mornings go for a ride digging the gardens, pulling the weeds, who could ask for more? Will you still need me? Will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?"
"Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore

Family Portraits are so much fun when people involve their pets! Pet portraits can be tricky but Debra had secrets up her sleeve to mellow out the dogs… Aren't they adorable!
Show casing love and documenting relationships.
Nothing makes me happier than getting to be a part of someone's love story, no matter what stage! It is such a privilege to get to be the portrait photographer for families, couples, babies and seniors.
But Debra & Rich captured my heart… They are taking one day at a time and working on loving each other better with each step they take.
Thanks dear friends for your example of making LOVE a verb!

Setting up a Photobooth?
Photo booths add entertainment, fun, and light hearted play to any event. I've done a handful and always enjoy way more than I thought I would. It is a great way to get your name out there, get more facebook fans and drive traffic to your website/blog. I'm not an expert on photobooths by any means but here are some tips I've learned along the way.
1. Find a spot that doesn't have direct sunlight or dappled light
2. Make sure your backdrop is big enough for large families and tall people3. Keep your camera on a trip pod
4. Use a remote
5. Have goofy props
6. Use an assistant to track people to their emails
7. decorate your backdrops and use fun furniture peices
8. Have a theme
9. Shoot in manual
10. Set the tone for a fun and goofy shot verses a portrait like sitting
11. Keep the same focal length for each shot
12. Check each shot to make sure eyes are all opened etc.
13. Set a high aperture
Click here for some other good websites on Photobooths. And here . Have fun making new friends and developing new contacts!

Tyler's Senior Experience
I love hearing the excitement and emotion in mom's voice when she calls and announces she has another senior graduating high school. The High school senior portrait experience is just as much about mom as it is the senior. Motherhood is filled with milestones and learning how to let go of the ones we love. Senior pictures are way to celebrate this stage in life with our young adults. Next step allowing them to graduate and move onto the next exciting venture in their life.One mom shared with me that it was actually experiencing the shoot with her daughter that she was investing in! I love the privilege of being able to provide that experience for both my seniors and their parents.
I love the behind the scenes shots! Mom adjusting the bow tie, sister taking shots with her iphone. It is all part of the experience so of course I have to document it.

My initial response is, sh!t happens literally... people are people and computers need to be made around that because without people computers would be worthless..... What I am saying is, people will stop anything if they need to go take a doo or get some grub. You can't tell someone to hold it in, because you wanna play. How would it feel? I think there should be no random champion pick if you have not hit the random button.... that's what it's there for, don't wait till the end to random, that makes me wanna Q dodge. Abolish the old random champion when time is up design, and install new design, SHOE/ BOOT/ KICK! NAO! if you can't decide on a champion in time you probably need to go afk/ poop/ eat .... etc. Or some weird stuff with your internet and garbles your connection making you pick someone you didn't want nor know/ runed for or just have no skill with. The computers that still are around and shouldn't be also cause problems here, system/ program shut-downs from certain commands(from players), crashes, viruses.... etc.
+1 yay!~
Sapling The Bush
Senior Member
Agreed. I've had far too many matches ruined due to AFK-ers
When will riot ever read this... obviously a bad design aspect here.
Yay! +4 ... someday friends, someday.
i agree but why is it in hud discussion, seems like it would be better general or pvp.net discussion
i understand what you mean. what would be better is : if the timer runs out and that person did not pick champ it would go back to the matchmaking page. but 1 problem would be like : if some1 else chooses (for example) master yi and that person wanted master yi also he can just do nothing and other have to wait for nothing. maybe also give a 10min time penalty. 1up for you.
I guess I left a bit too much to the imagination, that's what makes great things though.

Gear Scout: Timex Expedition Military Field
In 1954 Timex ran a series of "Torture Test" advertisements with one ad featuring boxer Rocky Marciano pounding away at a Timex strapped to a heavy bag. The tagline born of that campaign is now the legendary phrase: "Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking." Touted as the toughest watch in the world, and made available for reasonable prices at nearly every corner store in North America, the Timex was a hot seller. By 1960 one in three watches sold was a Timex. In the years since, little has changed with Timex watches still commanding a sizable portion of the watch market. They are to this day, reasonably priced, durable, reliable, and available nearly everywhere.

I don't think so! The prices are outrageous and the quality of the food was just not there. I spent $80 on food that was at best sub par. I will not go there again. The meat was burnt!
Posted by Gail on 12/12/2011
The first time I went was about 7 years ago and was not impressed at all with the Rib Tips I got. Have been there several times since and have liked it better each time I went. The portions are a nice size (large rib tips) but not enough fries and sides are small. The service was good and the sauces were tasty. I don't like babyback ribs and perfer large ends which most restaurants don't provide. Would like if they had burnt ends. A bit pricy but it's local and don't want to have to go all the way to the southside to get some good ribs for now.
Posted by anonymous on 11/16/2009
Loved the original place when it was small and self service. Everything was great. However, they expanded and quality of food and service quickly went down hill. No longer in a price range for most families. Sorry to see the change. Will not return.
Posted by Marco on 12/12/2007
Tried their baby backs and hot links, but not impressed. I don't know where these guys get their pork, but c'mon guys, I can do better at home with meat from Dominick's. Still not sure if their hot links were bad or just barely o.k. One thing's for sure...this was an expensive mistake and yet another chicago BBQ scam. Atmosphere ain't bad and service pretty good, but not worth the price and oh did I mention the wait.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/22/2007
They have terrific and tasty comfort food. There's nothing better than the BBQ and the warm brownie and ice cream for dessert. It melts in your mouth! A winner everytime!
Posted by Bucktown foodie on 01/19/2007
Was a huge fan of Fat Willy's in the beginning. Absolutely LOVE their spicy bbq sauce. Recently, however, I notice the prices are high and the service is low. I called for delivery on evening and was rudely put on hold (had to hang up and call back 5 times) before being told that delivery orders aren't taken until 5pm (it was 4:55). Overall - the cold and soggy food that arrived was very expensive, in my opinion. Two sandwhich dinners for $30.00. Will be trying some over, more down-to-earth bbq joints from now on.
Posted by kaui2b on 12/28/2006
I have to stop myself from just getting the fried or grilled shrimp which are quite large and tasty with the Fat Willy's sauce. I'd pass on dessert there. The rib tips are tougher but the basket is a great deal if you're craving bbq. The baked mac and cheese appetizer is really good as well. I'll have to try the brisket based on other posts!

he economy is in the doldrums, network TV is increasingly irrelevant compared to cable, and advertisers are scaling back like just about every other business — right? Not according to a few new surveys of the TV advertising market, which is actually growing. Sunday night is the most expensive night to advertise, followed by Thursday. Friday is at the bottom of the heap. And live TV shows do better than pre-taped ones. What else can we learn about cash-cow commercials? Here, a look at the numbers:
Average cost to run a 30-second ad on NBC's Sunday Night Football
Average cost to run a 30-second ad on Fox's American Idol on a typical Wednesday night
Top cost to run a 30-second ad on American Idol, as the show nears its season finale
Average cost to run a 30-second ad on Idol rival The X-Factor (Wednesday, Fox)
Average cost to run a 30-second ad during CW's Nikita (Friday), a network primetime low
$2.7 million
Average cost to run an ad during Super Bowl XLII
Percent of marketers who have upped their TV ad budgets since 2009
Percent of marketers who have cut their TV ad budgets since 2009
