| Posted over 5 years ago Our hospital just upgraded our system.We have to sing ourselves in and out of the system at the beginning and end of our shift.We assign our portable phone number, our pt's.The call light goes directly to the Nursing assistant w/ the nurse as back up.Pt's can always call directly also via telephone.I ,personally do not like the idea of just anyone calling us at any time on our phones, as this can be a hindrance.But, that goes into another can of worms... |

| Posted over 5 years ago we carry phones on our floor, but, the patient still has to use the call light, the monitor tech finds out what they need, if possible, and then calls the appropriate person, either the nurse or the aid. It is a hassle but it sure beats jumping up and answering every light just to find out that they accidently rolled over on the call light. |

| Posted over 5 years ago We use Vocera. It is a small phone that you call using your voice. I can call anywhere and receive calls from anywhere but only if I am in the hospital because that is the only place the antennae are. It is ok but it is voice activated and has it draw backs because of that. They use Vocera in the t.v. show- "Hopkins". |

| Posted over 5 years ago The patient uses the call light and the assigned NA, LPN, or RN responds. Phones are used on our floor also. The phones are used to transfer calls regarding the patient to the appropriate nurse or to locate a nurse. It's also important as a form of quick communication to notify staff of a code or rapid response need. I had clinicals at a facility that used a pager system. When a call light was pressed, the corresponding NA receiving a page as to the room that required assistance. |

Stone Age Bathroom Sinks
Stone is taking on a sinking feeling in today's high-style bathrooms. Learn how designers are using this age-old material in dramatic new ways.

Vessel sinks are bathroom design's darlings these days, and stone is a perfect foil for this form. John Lang, a kitchen and bath designer with Lang's Traditions of Bucks County, in Newtown, Penn., installed a red travertine vessel sink in a small powder room. The client wanted to keep the existing terra cotta floor, so Lang worked off that style and added river-stone wainscoting and a black granite vanity top. On top of that sits a red travertine vessel sink from De La Frontera, which sells handcrafted sinks from Mexico. Lang first used stone for a client five years ago, installing a crema marfil marble vessel sink on top of a vanity made of the same stone. He also used a black granite slab sink in an outdoor kitchen project.
A stone sink would also fit in a more formal bathroom. Bates and Bates' La Concha, a carved marble shell-shaped basin on a matching pedestal, would fit in any traditional bath.
If you have a yen for Zen style, choose a square stone sink for an Asian tone, such as Stone Forest's Verona sink in honey onyx.
And natural stone is foolproof if you're trying to bring the outdoors inside with your design. To go completely au naturale, buy a boulder with a sink carved out of it, such as Stone Forest's natural vessel sinks, which leave the boulder as is on the outside and carve a shiny sink inside.
Stone sinks are also moving into a different plane. At one time, a bowl was necessary to mix hot and cold water from two separate taps. Since the advent of the mixer faucet a bowl isn't really necessary — how often do you fill up your sink with water? Designers have taken note, and — voila — the flat sink, such as Omvivo's Geo washplane in marble, is a new trend.
A flat sink that would fit in with more rustic styling is Lacava's stone vessel sink of Amarillo Triana marble, a warm gold with brown veins that would be the focal point of any bathroom.
The sky's the limit with this deep-earth material, which also lends itself to artisans' designs. Allante International does custom stone work. If you'd like a long shallow trough sink with two wall faucets instead of the tired old double-sink set-up, pick your stone and your dimensions and have the sink of your dreams made.

The Agony of Paul Krugman
shared some angst on his blog:
Yesterday afternoon, Paul KrugmanI hated, hated, hated writing tomorrow's column. Whatever people may imagine, I really dislike weighing in on purely political matters, and am far and away at my happiest translating economic analysis into hopefully understandable English. But nobody would read a piece about health-care accounting or eurozone adjustment problems if I put it out tomorrow, and there are some things I fear won't be said if I don't do it (just as there were during the runup to the Iraq War); so Arizona it is.
The column has now been published. Your assignment: See if you can find a single sentiment in the story that would not have been said if Krugman didn't do it. Hell, see if you can find anything in there that a prominent voice hadn't already said before Krugman put up his blog post. You can leave your findings in the comments.

Dear Krugabe-
You're pathetic.
I took a shit on a Krugnuts column, once. I basically have the same "comment" for this column.
In fact, Krugabe makes Gail Collins quoting the head of the Brady Campaign about Loughner's "assault weapon" look like an intellectual giantess.
In defense of mr. k, one can see how he might believe no one would post his observations if he did not do so himself. Considering he concocts most of what he prints from his imagination, it was a good bet.
This is a very good point.
No, you miss the point. People listen to him on areas in which he has some sort of expertise; therefore, for him not to comment on this would be to deprive the world of his thoughts. How could anyone expect him NOT to comment?
It's a public service, really. -
In defense of mr. k, one can see how he might believe no one would post his observations if he did not do so himself. Considering he
concoctspulls most of what he printsfrom his imaginationstraight out of his ass, it was a good bet.FIFY.
case in point:
In the krugman textbook of biology, the bacteria do the nasty while you're not looking.
It's true that the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled. But that doesn't mean that his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate.
That reminds me of the infamous words of Criswell at the beginning of Plan 9 from Outer Space: "Can you prove that it didn't happen?"
The commies burned the Reichstag! No more guns, no more rights, no more elections.
Krugman's mentally unstable, too. Perhaps he speaks from deeper more intimate experience than we can understand.
Of course, such comparisons end in implementation. Krugman's metaphorical gun - like his economics - centers around shooting harmless paper all over the fucking place.
I love how he jumps from Clinton straight to 2008. Because nobody was spouting any kind of political hatred or advocating any kind violence in the period in between.
I wish I could take back the minute and a half I wasted reading that.
I thought the OC bombing was in retaliation for Waco? What did talk radio have to do with that? In that case, somehow keeping crazy people from watching the news would have been the only way to prevent it.
That's exactly the comment I was going to leave. At the risk of betraying any sort of intelligence: Dude, serious? In a just world, that shit should get you laughed out of a dinner party.
"It's true that the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled. But that doesn't mean that his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate."
He's right, you know.
"Last spring Politico.com reported on a surge in threats against members of Congress, which were already up by 300 percent."
No word on threat rates against 9 year-old girls, Republican federal judges, and retirees -- you know people who actually died.
It would also be interesting to replace every reference to Arizona with Ft. Hood, then contrast with what Krugman actually wrote on the matter.
The Fort Hood thing did seem to get less news coverage. I guess those soliders were probably Republicans so who cares if they die. A prominent Democrat gets shot in the head though and in less than 48 hours, congress is trying to repeal the first amendment.
This. Hasan apparently didn't murder anyone important enough or anyone politically useful enough for the left, so his act was swept under the rug about two weeks after it happened. Leftists are such sick, demented assholes.
I feel bad for Giffords and her family, but my feeling-badness stems from the fact that she's a human being, not the fact that she's a Congresswoman. I suppose it all goes back to the illusion that politicians make sacrifices for the greater good.
Cue Heath Ledger and the speech he gave in The Dark Knight:
"If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!"
The more important point is that he's talking about the period of the health care debate, and we don't have comparable data for the debates over other hotly contested legislation in recent history (e.g., the debate over NAFTA). So we don't know if that was an unusually large spike in death threats or if it was typical of what happens when a large number of people is strongly opposed to a bill that is likely to pass.
And when I say "we don't know," I mean "I called every agency I could think of that might have those numbers, and no one would release them." The feds generally keep information about threats to public figures very close to the vest.
"The feds generally keep information about threats to public figures very close to the vest."
Yet they released them this time?
Wow. That couldn't possibly be self-serving.
Who'd have thought that PhD level economic analysis is actually easier than having a slightly informed view of current events?
Chuckling quietly to myself....
"As David Frum, the
former Bush speechwritercolumnist so ignored by the Republican party he joined Crist and Bloomberg in the No Labels campaign, has put it, 'Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox.'" -
Loughner should have just used an abortion technique on those people. The Left would be applauding him.
It was reported that he shouted something just before he started shooting. Anybody hear what that was?
okay, not funny. well, I laughed, but I didn't enjoy doing it. stop forcing your absurdist rhetoric on me!
I enjoyed laughing, should I hate myself?
Sic semper tyrannis?
Man I'd like to take a baseball bat to that face. He's sooooooo punchable.SORRY, SORRY. Don't want to contribute to the already-coarse, troubling and provocative dialogue out there.
Never mind...
I have thought the same thing many times. He's like a little furry elf, and he's begging to be beat up. He's also that kid in high school whose locker the jocks crapped in.
Anybody catch Pulitzer Prize™-winning, gurgling, stuttering, MSNBC-contributing, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson's early take on the event? His performance was Streep-like. He became the part. I almost forgot he was acting.
Anyway, This American Life had a pretty good episode this week about the fictions underlying central banking and the audacity of the Fed's actions since 2008.
I was listening to that when I first heard about the shooting.
Whatever people may imagine, I really dislike weighing in on purely political matters...
I'm pretty sure no one prominent (or anywhere) has said this about him. Okay, okay, it's from the blog and not from the article, but do I at least get honorable mention or something?
What you've really found there is a bald-faced lie. He has both a blog and a NYT column that are both used for the express purpose of using warpped economic analysis to bolster "purely political matters."
Paul Krugman hates cashing in on his intellectual credentials by publishing standard liberal dreck so much that the New York Times literally has to pay him to do it.
^^ Thread Win! ^^
Upon further review, Draco's call is confirmed. Brad P. is awarded the thread.
I agree. Comments should be closed now; there can be no better comment. Any more would just be anti-climax.
I once thought the competition for Worst Krugman Kolumn Ever was tough. No longer. Jesus.
Wait a few weeks. He'll probably top it.
Malkin has quite a collection. Not that it was hard to find. But wow.
Yeah, I was going to post that but you beat me to it. One set of rules for themselves, and a different set for everyone else. I don't remember the MSM or The Daily Show or our wonderful Pop Culture idols being all that worried about civil political discourse when Bush, Cheney, and Palin were the(ir) tragets.
If The Daily Show had any comdeic, cultural, or satirical balls they'd do an episode tonight about all the hateful, angry speech leading to the murder of a little girl, a federal judge, and four other innocent people, and use nothing but the images and language from Democrats and the left.
A liberal friend of mine explained to me, without irony, that the difference is that the Republicans deserved it.
There was a thread on reddit where someone posted a similar list in response to someone asking for proof that hateful vitriol comes from the left as well.
The response from leftists was all "but CONTEXT!" and "yeah but no one actually killed anybody from that rhetoric" etc.
ok, I'm gonna play along with Krugman even though I think he's wrong.
Let's say that the "vitriol" from the right prodded this unstable young man and pushed him into committing this horrible act.
The question is: Well, what do we do about it?
For me, that's the scariest part. They seem to be hinting at speech control. Scary stuff...
It is worse than that. It is not like they want to stop all violent speech. They just want to stop speech on the other side. The things on their side listed in the Malkin link will continue unabated.
They seem to be hinting at speech control.
They're not "hinting" at anything. They're putting together a bill right now.
Let's hope the sock they try to jam down into your mouth is comfortable! And friendly to the environment!
Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ! I couldn't even read all of the comments on his blog. Every single one was willfully ignoring the fact that they spent 8 years calling Bush a Nazi.
In the final analysis, that is what is so troubling - Can it be that Krugman is as divorced from reality as the shooter?
Seriously, he appears to equate ANY opposition to healthcare as fascism, klanism, and a desire to seen orphan babies starve, while TRULY (that scary) believing that calling Bush (who, for the record, I think was a bad, bad president) a nazi is objective, and should be no more controversial than stating that this planet is a sphere.
It is beyond irony that a man who uses invective so much can be so blind to his own hypocrisy - but I guess that is the definition of mental illness. -
I think this column is evidence that Krugman should be institutionalized before he can harm himself or others.
Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ! I couldn't even read all of the comments on his blog. Every single one was willfully ignoring the fact that they spent 8 years calling Bush a Nazi.
Stupid double-clicking submit.
Dude who shoots Reagan to get Jodie Foster's attention == crazy nutter
Dude who shoots 12 people, killing 6 because he was slighted by his congressperson == regular conservative
Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ! I couldn't even read all the comments on this blog. All the authors had submitted them twice, so there were simply too many of them.
Hey at least I'm not an anon bot or COMMANDER.
COMMANDER has not checked in for a while and I, for one, am disappointed.
Whew, glad he wrote this article, so we no longer have any doubt that Paulie Krugnuts is a despicable human being.
Shorter version: crazy murderers = conservatives
Finally, bigger assignment: find a single original thought in any of PK's idiotic ramblings over the last two decades.
And thus, in reaction to a random shooting spree, Krugman is inspired to go on a random character assassination spree.
Oooooh, an internet celebrity.
Hah, ok Slugman, but when the president makes jokes about drone attacks -- and EVERYONE laughs -- aren't we ignoring the actual "eliminationist" ACTIONS of the government to focus on mere rhetoric? Which will make a society more violent: American rough-and-ready DTOM gun culture? Or the actual mass murder perpetrated by the state? But Krugman shies away from criticizing the war by his Leader in case someone somewhere might have lower taxes, which is a worse crime than war for "progressives."
Nonono, those deaths are regretable, so it's okay.
If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.
And don't you need to go "find someone's ass to kick", Mr. President?
From the link:
It's true that the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled. But that doesn't mean that his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate.
Understand that, kiddies? Even if the killer is clearly mentally ill (meaning, not really responsible for his acts), you're still responsible if you happen to keep the "national climate" hot... I magine, by NOT agreeing with Mr. Krug-nuts; what else?
And there's a huge contrast in the media. Listen to Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann, and you'll hear a lot of caustic remarks and mockery aimed at Republicans. But you won't hear jokes about shooting government officials or beheading a journalist at The Washington Post. Listen to Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly, and you will.
What do you mean "you will"? Is Krug-nuts making some prediction here, or is he trying to imply Beck or O'Reilly have called for gunning down politicians?
The dishonesty is strong with this one...
No kidding. I think Beck and O'Reilly are obnoxious as hell, but that is complete bullshit.
I'm no fan of Glenn Beck, but the only time I've heard him talk about political violence was to condemn it, to say it would be counterproductive in the USA, or to implore his listeners to eschew it.
I've seldom watched O'Reilly, but, WRT to Beck, Krugman is simply full of shit.
Weird, I remember a story not too long ago where Dylan Ratigan was suggesting the time had come for violent revolution.
I believe those dots can be connected. With a pen.
Not that he was literally described as "quite liberal", was a 9/11 truther and listed the communist manifesto as a favorite book. Explaining these things is above a Times columnist, that's for the internets or something.
Leave Paul alone! He's a journalist! If it bleeds, it leads! End of story!
Ow, my bleeding rectum.
Please tell me there's a video of you crying and screaming this at us...
"Leave him alone!"
I'm having my first endoscopy tomorrow. You know, that procedure where they shove a camera-tube up your Krugman.
That sounds like a great deal of fun!
So that's why it's called an endoscopy.
Do check your, uh, procticioner's credenzas.
What Krugman has done here is nothing but the liberal intelligentsia's version of those ignorant, bigoted citizens (thankfully very few of them) going out and beating up on Sikhs and Hindus after the 9/11 bombings.
Given that Krugman is supposed to be intelligent and educated, there's actually less moral leeway to be extended to what he's done here, in my view.
They just can't stand the fact that we can stand up and talk back now, after being cut out of the conversation for decades. A post at www.granitesentry.com. Any input?
I took a shit in Krugman's beard once.
"Paul Krugman " is actually a clever
alias for Comrade Squealer from
Actually his name is an anagram for PARK MAUL GUN.
Which obviously means he has plans to shoot up a park. Oh teh children!
What do you expect. This is from the same group of people that blame the "poltical climate of the right" for the JFK assassination, even though the guy that shot him was a Commie.
Fox News, talk radio, etc. is just providing an outlet for the real frustration the majority of Americans are feeling right now. If they really got their wish and were successful in blocking Rush, Beck, Palin, etc. from their free speech rights, which is only a reflection of non-liberal America, it will only make that anger directed at them that much worse.
Speaking of that JFK guy, didn't he once say something about what happens when you make peaceful revolution impossible? Kind of ironic on a whole bunch of levels.
Well said. Fox News and Palin and Limbaugh are an important and peaceful outlet for people's frustraitions. It si the same with talk radio. It gives people a chance to blow off steam and feel like they are heard. If you take that away from people, they will look for other ways to be heard. And then we really will have political violence in this country.
But that anger is mostly being supplied by the likes of Palin and Limbaugh.
Bullshit Tony. And follow the link below. The left has said and done horrible things. And you don't say a word.
Two wrongs don't make a right. And lefties in this country don't tend to pick up guns and shoot people over political differences.
Re: Tony,
And lefties in this country don't tend to pick up guns and shoot people over political differences.
They seem to do so, Tony.
It's so cute how you're such an independent-minded nonpartisan anarchist who always links to the same right-wing Republican shill rags that John does.
I don't think this guy can be pigeonholed in the traditional right/left spectrum (same with Timothy McVeigh, e.g.) He obviously had a psychological disorder of some sort and for all I know never listened to Limbaugh or Olbermann.
But none of that is an excuse to play dumb about what passes for MAINSTREAM rhetoric on the right these days. It's rhetoric that should be considered radical and fringe, but has completely taken over a political party. Whether there's any connection or not, it's still dangerous, and there is no comparable, highly organized radical rhetoric on the other side.
Re: Tony,
It's so cute how you're such an independent-minded nonpartisan anarchist who always links to the same right-wing Republican shill rags that John does.
"No True Scotsman" fallacy, Tony???
I don't think this guy can be pigeonholed in the traditional right/left spectrum[...]
Especially not when he's clearly so left wing, it's embarrasing... right?
But none of that is an excuse to play dumb about what passes for MAINSTREAM rhetoric on the right these days.
"Ok, ok, so the dog was rabid, but that does not mean cats are not awful!"
And just as relevant!
Yeah, both sides do it, but since the right does it more, they're more evil on average.
Yup, lefties never do that.
You're right, Tony. They like bombs and manifestos.
" lefties in this country don't tend to pick up guns"
Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat.
Garfield was assassinated by Charles Guiteau, a member of a polyamorous communist cult.
McKinley was assassinated by Leon Frank Czolgosz, a socialist inspired by Emma Goldman.
JFK was assassinated by Oswald, a former resident of the USSR and a Communist.
John Wilkes Booth? Seriously?
Of course not! Lefties don't OWN guns.
No. Are you paying attention!? These people don't just become insane and angry by listening to media. At absolute worst it gives form to it, but the crazy requires no supplier. Silencing the rhetoric sounds eerily like a safety clicking off.
Go suck a dick.
Re: Tony,
But that anger is mostly being supplied by the likes of Palin and Limbaugh.
Which is why people assembled and voted to kick out a few congresspeople - the same people certainly did not pick up their Kentucky rifles, knapped a few flints and casted some shot.
You simply happen not to like Sarah's or Rush's rethoric, but you cannot say theirs is "violent" or incites to violence just because it's directed against politicians you happen to agree with.
Being a communist or socialist means never having to apologize for the ones your people murder, because most of them probably had it coming anyway.
"Kind of ironic on a whole bunch of levels."
Speaking of irony, consider also that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords read the 1st Amendment in the House last Thursday.
She gets shot, and the Krugmans of the world start calling for its repeal.
Even if the killer was completely motivated by forces other than the 24/7 partisan antigovernment/xenophobic rhetoric from rightwing media, that doesn't make what they're doing OK or any less dangerous. It is not a coincidence, and certainly not something to be ignored, that rightwing terrorist activity heats up during Democratic administrations, and I challenge you to say with a straight face that the likes of Limbaugh have nothing to do with it.
And OM Krugman is not calling for laws to silence certain types of speech. He's calling for people to stop engaging in incitement rhetoric.
And this is what we had for 8 years under Bush and the last two years under Obama. You dont' say a word about that. Nor will you ever. So just shut up Tony.
The link to that psychotic bitch's website doesn't work.
Bush failed to prevent the worst terrorist attack in US history, then used it as an excuse to invade a completely unrelated country, enacted a policy of torturing criminal suspects, and oversaw the near-destruction of the economy.
Obama's crimes, to his vocal opponents, are being a Democrat and having brown skin. And the worst thing lefties did during Bush, though they had far more cause to challenge the government for its abuses, was show up to free speech zones at the GOP convention and stand there. An arrestable offense under Bush, of course.
I don't care if the link is to Satan's website. There is nothing there but the truth. STand up and renounce that shit and show where you did at the time or shut up. Also, I didn't hear you say a word when gays attacked mormans over the gay marriage iniative in California.
Your nothing but a two bit paper hanging fascist thug Tony. Everyone knows what you are. Shut up and go away.
I said the link to Satan's website doesn't work.
I'm sure lefties have said many awful things. I don't care, because I don't see a threat of actual violence coming from the left in this country, and I fail to see how making a false equivalence absolves the right of anything. This is not a playground.
Go suck a dick, Tony.
"I don't see a threat of actual violence coming from the left in this country."
Nor do I see one from the Right, so go have a nice, big cup of shut-the-fuck-up.
Excuse me if I don't just assume that there are absolutely no trigger-happy psychopaths listening to the revolutionary rhetoric that has completely taken over rightwing politics since Obama got elected.
"...the revolutionary rhetoric that has completely taken over rightwing politics since Obama got elected."
"COMPLETELY taken over rightwing politics"? That's among the most hyperbolic horseshit ever uttered on this site.
To the extent that ANY "revolutionary rhetoric" (examples of which you fail to provide) has been issued by the political Right (whoever that may be), it is certainly no worse than that which practically dominated the Left during the '60s (Chicago riots, Weather Underground, SDS, Black Panthers, etc) and the "Bush = Hitler" years from 2000-2008 (and lingers to this day).
You can "just assume" whatever you fucking please, but failing to acknowledge the paradigm I just cited makes you an abject fool.
Assumptions are bad; except when I make them.
I'm sure lefties have said many awful things. I don't care. It's okay by me.
Go suck a dick, Tony.
Homophobic much, "Pip"?
He's not afraid, therefore not "phobic".
Why don't YOU go suck a dick, too, Rachel?
The very fact that libtards like you are blaming him for not preventing something that was barely on anyones radar screen 8 months into his job is more offensive than free speech zone protesting.
"He's calling for people to stop engaging in incitement rhetoric..........psychotic bitch's"
I think I found one, Paulie!
Oh please. So even though this may have nothing to do with our bullshit politics, we still have to be afraid of those crazy Tea Partiers, eh? Can't skip an opportunity to cash in on bloodshed, now can we?
I wouldn't say a word if the baggers weren't bending over backward to proclaim their innocence in this matter. Maybe they should just STFU for once.
When their rhetoric for two years has been all about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants (along with a drooling fascination on the part of the MSM), it's precious that those people are playing dumb now. You don't get to go around implicitly calling for armed revolution against the government and then cry foul when someone draws the connection after a Dem congresswoman is shot in the head. Maybe the connection is entirely unfair. That doesn't make violent incitement rhetoric OK, and this is as good a time as any to say so.
Don't be his porn.
If he wants to use those dead people to get his rocks off, he can go find them in the morgue and fuck the bullet wounds personally.
Re: Tony,
I wouldn't say a word if the baggers weren't bending over backward to proclaim their innocence in this matter.
I have a feeling you would not entertain the possibility the so-called "baggers" WERE innocent and that their proclaim a sound one either way, Tony.
You don't get to go around implicitly calling for armed revolution against the government and then cry foul when someone draws the connection after a Dem congresswoman is shot in the head.
You're absolutely right - except that calls to violence have come from the left (especially from Socialists) and not conservatives or libertarians.
Go suck a dick, Tony.
Don't be me.
Re: Tony,
It is not a coincidence, and certainly not something to be ignored, that rightwing terrorist activity heats up during Democratic administrations[...]
For instance....?
I'm pretty sure the Oklahoma bombers were teabaggers.
Also, um, neo-Nazis and stuff. They hate health care.
Does that answer your question?
PS In case it's not perfectly obvious, I'm kidding.
Re: Trespassers W,
Yeah, I know you're kidding!
You never know who's left their sarcasm detectors turned all the way down.
It is true, however, that the Unabomber was an outspoken advocate of school vouchers. His views on campaign finance reform were ambiguous, but also right-wing.
Go suck a dick, Tony.
We get it.
But, you don't get it. Until you get that you don't get it, you wont get it.
Anal Pug Murk
an analgram of Kruggie
It's true that the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled. But that doesn't mean that his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate.
Wait - so this is global warming's fault?
Or racism; sexism; homophobia; male, meat-eating mouth breathers...take your pick.
I pick bacon, pussy and weed.
I still don't get what mouth breathers means.
It's an unfair stereotype!
If Arizona promotes some real soul-searching, it could prove a turning point. If it doesn't, Saturday's atrocity will be just the beginning.
Enjoy saying stuff like this while you still can (legally, I mean).
i think its time Target department stores change their name. i fear the violent imagery of a "target" could confuse shoppers. They may believe they're going to a shooting range, not to buy socks and an end table.
Krugnuts delivers again.
I remembered the upsurge in political hatred after Bill Clinton's election in 1992 — an upsurge that culminated in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Bill Clinton-elected in 1992.
Oklahoma City Bombing-1995.
McVeigh was outraged over the Republican Revolution of 1994 and attacked.
My narrative>Krugman's narrative.
Since we're just randomly connecting events that have little to nothing to do with each other.
And you could see, just by watching the crowds at McCain-Palin rallies, that it was ready to happen again.
Really? I was thinking "violent rabble" when I saw the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert rally.
It's true that the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled. But that doesn't mean that his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate.
Please, Dr. Krugman. Make the connection.
And there's a huge contrast in the media. Listen to Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann, and you'll hear a lot of caustic remarks and mockery aimed at Republicans. But you won't hear jokes about shooting government officials or beheading a journalist at The Washington Post. Listen to Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly, and you will.
So when Rachel Maddow (the most handsome man in punditry today) and Keith Olberweenie use "caustic" (syn. corrosive, destructive, burning, acidic) language, it's okay, because they're just being witty.
But even if hate is what many want to hear, that doesn't excuse those who pander to that desire. They should be shunned by all decent people.
I agree. We should shun all that hateful speech stuff. The next time Krugabe puts up a "class warfare"/eat the rich/"GOPers are of the Devil" piece, we can rightly shun and denounce him as a purveyor of hate.
No, the only ones who should be toning it down is the right-wing. Everyone else should get a free-speech pass.
Excuse me if I don't just assume that there are absolutely no trigger-happy psychopaths listening to the revolutionary rhetoric that has completely taken over rightwing politics since Obama got elected.
I'm impressed that Tony can gronk out all these comments while hiding under his bed.
It is not a coincidence, and certainly not something to be ignored, that rightwing terrorist activity heats up during Democratic administrations
You mean, like lobbing missiles into Third World villages? 'Cause there's plenty of that during Democratic administrations.
Gosh, it sure would be terrible if some mentally unstable person were to read my comment and decide to KICK PAUL KRUGMAN IN THE NUTS REPEATEDLY.
Jesus, lots of imbecilic dipshit comments over there. Where are you guys? Why don't some of the smarter guys in here go tear them some new orifices. God, Krugman is truly awful.
...ironic if one of Krugman's columns inspired a Loughner copycat killing spree?
...a hundred bucks for the pay-per-view.
That's impossible. Liberals NEVER commit violence in the name of political beliefs.
I really dislike weighing in on purely political matters
Let's see... Can anyone think of any more blatant lie that this clown has ever written?
You are such a sad commentary on your profession (by the way, what is it?) I've yet to meet a lower individual than you. Your expoitation of this tragedy where 6 people (that you are unworthy to even speak their names), lost their lives and you proceed to spout lies and distort the facts in such a way that brings further pain to their families. I know I waste my time in writing to you because you have no ability to examine yourself because what you would find is such a small person - not worthy of your time!
If you're not experiencing some angst over the events in AZ then you must be brain dead. And I say that as someone who is not particularly political but happened on this comment by accident. As far as I can see Krugman's comments weren't particularly unreasonable. And I just did a little surf of some of the comments on this thread and based on these Krugman's contention that political rhetoric is overheated is hardly without foundation.
And btw for those who keep shouting Krugman is stupid. There's a fair bit of evidence that this in not the case. You may not like his politics but he isn't by any stretch of the imagination stupid.

And as someone pointed out, 20 Dollar's
"do you know that cost of AK's up in Africa / 20 dollars ain't shit to you but that's how much they are" &
"I put people on the map that never seen a map"
might be the most memorable and thought-provoking of her lyrics ever.
Glad to see some Teqkilla love here. That's one seriously drugged up jam, it always sounds like a wild party in a South Asian jungle to me. The suddenly high pitched chorus "I got sticky sticky icky icky weeeeed" always gets me. And the word play…
And Kala is seriously bad ass. Just from Tracks 4-7 we have the Indian, African, Aboriginal Australian and spaced-out Pixies references, only to go into World Town. Ultimately climaxing at Paper Planes. Orgasm.
I know I'm like "calm down guys" when people freak out over other lists. But WTF? Is this a joke? The Dreaming second to last?
I read it as album of the year tease. Probably not far from the truth
Who knows, maybe they'll do a Crown of Love halfway through the song…
I watched this here last night and got the album today (not familiar with Apple before). Amazing.
Anyone else get a whiff of Missy influence on this?
Amazing stuff.
Yeh me too, now I know I am not alone. This certainly has adversely affected my voting frequency. Any response from Stereogum about this?
One of those albums which almost everybody thinks is over-long, yet they can't agree on which tracks to leave out. Even I myself am not sure.
I love We suck Young Blood and The Gloaming though, and am less keen on There there than most people
Agree with everything you said, except that Hidden Place is a genuine masterpiece. Sophisticated harmonies, exquisite melodies clashing with exotic scales chanted by the choir, and a truly mysterious atmosphere.
And yes, while the Orca album might not be a bona fide Björk album, Selmasongs is definitely an integral part of the canon and part of her development. Scatterheart and New World are exactly the stylistic bridge between Homogenic and Vespertine.
I discovered Björk through Vespertine! Along with Kid A at the same time. Still two of my absolute favourite albums. (and solo artist and band too, probably)
Surely Vespertine is ranked too low, and I'm shocked at the hate it's received in the write-up. It seems to neglect the fact that Björk set out to make an adult, unashamedly all-out erotic, intimate album so anyone looking for epic beats and dance tracks would be bound to be disappointed.
And seriously, how can anyone not get "With a beard and a pipe/And a parrot on each side"!? SPOILER IT'S ABOUT HER MAN'S PRIVATE PARTS
Overall, though, I've always loved Björk for growing with me as my own musical tastes change. Pretty much the only one constant in her music is the voice, and no two albums are too similar. Huge beats + cinematic strings in Homogenic, microbeats in Vespertine, all sort of vocal exploration in Medulla, a dominance of brass in Volta and so on. Compare Debut (with its cutesiness) and Biophilia (with all the irregular time signatures and almost deliberate focus on texture as opposed to melody), it's impressive how far she's pushed herself.
I feel bad, Cerebus. But maybe my unpopular opinion was really just one downvote more unpopular than yours.
I know it's blasphemy around these parts, but does anybody else feel OK Computer is *ever so slightly* overrated?
I love it, but maybe it's so definitive of its era sometimes I feel it's a bit dated. Ever so slightly.
I like it. But I don't know about the name change to Sufjam.
I'm being a bit too serious I guess, but this news (be it gimmick or foresight or madness on Beck's part) made me think how wonderfully happy this would make a music fan who has lost his/her hearing, assuming he or she has learned to read sheet music previously. More musicians should do this.
Should I feel annoyed/bewildered at the absence of solo female acts here?
Good feature though.

Ekkie Info Needed Please :)
Posted 09 August 2010 - 03:26 AM
I'm Philippa from the UK. I joined this forum primarily because I have been researching rescuing or purchasing an older parrot once I have my own place (likely to be sometime next year). I have particularly been researching 'toos as I have a passion for them. A lot of advice has been to not set my heart on a particular species as 'toos are among the most 'needy' of parrots (as a general rule) and it may just be that in the near future a 'too isn't right for me.
With this in mind I looked up details on other species, and stumbled across the Ekkie - a beautiful parrot I had never heard of before. I realise Ekkies require a commitment, just as much as a 'too and this is honestly not a problem. But from what I have learned Ekkies tend to be quiter than 'toos (again as a general rule) although capable of being very loud at times, and are less likely to chew everything in sight. It is possible an Ekkie might suit me better if I have to rent or am living near neighbours (not considering a flat but possibly a semi-detached house). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm not giving up on re-homing a 'too but trying to be sensible and consider other birds too. Neither would an Ekkie be a parrot substitute until I take in a 'too. I will love any bird I take in to bits even if I add to the flock later. I would really appreciate any Ekkie info from Ekkie owners (would consider male or female equally, any sub-species).
Also specifically: I have been reading a bit about the Ekkie specialised diet and types of food they enjoy/benefit from. Just wondering if you Ekkie owners have a particular 'menu' of foods your Ekkie would eat each week let's say - or do you constantly change what they eat (within the right food groups)?
And what kind of cage is best for an Ekkie? I know dome-tops are preferable for 'toos and have read horizontal space is more important than vertical for an Ekkie? Is this correct? I would opt for a cage made for the larger parrots either way for as much space as possible. What bar spacing is best? And are they big escape artists?
Sorry - many questions!
Posted 09 August 2010 - 04:22 AM
You have been doing a lot of research and everything you wrote about eclectus vs. cockatoo, in my opinion, is correct. Also, eclectus do not have any powder feather dust, unlike toos that are very dusty. The eclectus has a more complicated diet in that they cannot eat anything fortified with supplements or colors. So, pellets should be the uncolored natural kind. Seed is offered minimally. Fresh fruit, veggies (raw and cooked) along with beans and anything else not high in fat and healthy should be the staples in the birds diet.
I feed generally the same stuff everyday except when different things become available each season, then I feed that. The love pomegranates!
Good luck in finding your bird. I have had both and would definitely recommend an eclectus over a cockatoo for someone new to parrots. The cage should be big enough so that the bird can flap his wings without bumping into anything yet still have a lot of toys. I would say the minimum should be 36" x 30 but bigger is still better.
Posted 09 August 2010 - 04:38 AM
Not 100% new to parrots as I have owned a parrot (lory) previously and volunteered at an exotic pet refuge in the past where I had some experience with larger birds, but the theory still applies. There would be nothing stopping me taking in a 'too at a later date. I'll just have to see what happens I'm planning on volunteering at a rescue once I am back in the UK (currently visiting Chicago) so hopefully I may get to meet an Ekkie and get more experience with 'toos.
Thankyou for your quick reply - it's good to know that I'm on the right tracks with my research. Would you mind telling me your Ekkies normal daily menu?
Louie and Chloe are gorgeous. Funnily enough I was contemplating potential parrot names earlier in case I end up with one who needs a name, and Chloe was one of them, haha. From your personal experience also what are the differences in the personalities of both genders? I have read that females being dominant, can be more agressive and other people who say it's a myth. Personally I'd consider males and females but I'd be interested to know!
Sorry for all the questions! So much for me to learn :3
Posted 09 August 2010 - 04:06 PM
Something I think you should consider more than anything is that Eclectus are not loners. They need companionship throughout the day either from you or another bird.
Like Ellina said, the diet for an Eclectus is special in that they cannot handle enhanced/enriched/fortified foods because of their long digestive tract which extracts all nutrients from each food.
They do very well on a fresh/cooked foods diet and can enjoy many of the healthy foods you eat yourself.
Typically I feed a base of brown rice mixed with well cooked legumes and vegetables that I freeze in portions and thaw daily. To this I add sprouts, chopped greens and fruits, peppers, plumped corn, small seeds like flax, etc. depending on what is in season and what I can afford. I also feed an organic pellet.
You might want to take a look at Graham Taylor and Laurella Desborough's websites. They have been breeding ekkies for years and are both very knowledgeable. And, I'm sure you've visited LandofVos.com, Carolyn Swicegood's excellent ekkie website.
Posted 09 August 2010 - 05:24 PM
My Ekkie is very calm and quiet by comparison. His shriek is shockingly loud but also exceedingly rare - he does it once in a blue moon if all of my other birds are being too noisy (shuts them up in a hurry!) and will also do it if I let the food bowl run empty - heaven forbid! He can be handled by almost anyone and just this weekend we went to an educational event where he posed with probably over 100 children. He is very gentle with his toys and seems to prefer to be near a window so he can sit and contemplate the world as he watches it go by, lol. As long as you understand their dietary needs (and it sounds like you do) I think an Ekkie would be a MUCH better fit for someone in your situation.

Posted 09 August 2010 - 07:06 PM
It's possible I may end up in a detached house with a part-time or work from home job. I really have no idea yet, but glad an Ekkie may be suitable for me if a 'too would not be a good idea in the near future. Re: needing company when I am out, I had been giving some thought to that. A pair would be nice but if I end up with a bird who is used to, and is comfortable having a cage to himself would a smaller bird in a nearby cage potentially be a good idea? My boyfriend is pretty keen on getting a budgie also so it is something to contemplate.
It would be nice to get a cage with the bird but just trying to do some research in case there is not one, or if a different cage would be needed as a replacement so thanks for the bar spacing info!
Planning on going to a parrot society show in Oct so hopefully I might get to speak to some Ekkie owners there also
Posted 09 August 2010 - 09:16 PM
IMO you should take some time and think about what it is you want from a parrot companion at this time. You may decide that keeping a small flock of budgies in a fantastic habitat where you can observe them interacting would be as rewarding as keeping a single eclectus. When keeping a single species you have the ability to create a living space that is geared for them where they can thrive, thereby giving you both the connection with a bird companion as well as lots of entertainment watching them live together. My eclectus family is fascinating to watch and has taught me so much. I don't think it's realistic that you purchase a number of eclectus, but I do think that you could provide a fantastic home to a number of budgies that would repay you with many years of antics and companionship. Just something to think about!
Posted 09 August 2010 - 09:28 PM
I personally think he is happy, he didnt have clutchmates so it was just him. the breeder and his family, and his dogs growing up.
Just make sure you really want one, they can live to be 50+ so not a light commitment.

Kathy - the reason I want to give a home to another parrot is because I think they are wonderful - always have, and I know there are many out there in need of loving permanent homes. I think it's incredible to form a bond with such an intelligent and beautiful animal. Many people advise newcomers to boards to consider a dog or cat etc as parrots require a lot of work, and question why a parrot instead. And I agree; dogs and cats are equally wonderful, as are budgies but to me it comes down to my individual passion which would definetely be the larger species. A flock of budgies would be a joy but although I appreciate the advice I'll be honest and say that I am more likely to go for a larger parrot, but believe me I will wait until I can be a good owner!
The reason I mentioned a budgie is purely as I am researching options. I am not going to be able to be home 24/7 unfortunately. I know there are people out there who have single parrots and jobs and make it work. I just like the idea of having a companion around in case I end up with a bird who isn't suited to living in a same-species pair, like the bird Leigh has mentioned. Perhaps a different species would be more suited than a budgie though? I really would be very careful in this instance to keep any smaller bird out of harms way.
Loyallyroyal: Do you have any piccies of Dewey? And what do you do to keep him entertained while you are out of the house? Thankyou for the info on his diet!
Once again thankyou all for your help and advice

The Picky Parrot
He also gets a lot of fresh branches to chew on, Im lucky enough to have honeysuckle and bottlebrush plants, and even more lucky to have neighbors with several large cajeput trees that trim them twice a year.
Oh boy, you asked for it. Dewey pictures!

Posted 10 August 2010 - 08:16 PM
Alot of that is probably because cockatiles are allopreeners and like to preen each other in a flock. Ekkies dont exhibit this behavior in the wild, that is why often times how cuddly someones eclectus is depends on how much it was handled as a baby.
Posted 10 August 2010 - 09:59 PM
Loyallyroyal (sorry I couldn't find your name) Leigh and Kathy, thankyou for your additional posts

I'm sure you'll make a great owner... just look at the research you are doing! The only reason *I* mentioned budgies is because you said that's what your boyfriend wanted!
I absolutely love Eclectus and think they are wonderful companions. When people ask questions before buying, I try to offer up things I've learned. By no means do I think it's a bad thing to have a single bird, and I do think they have the potential to become your best friend. My only point is, if you are already concerned about how much time you'll be able to devote to a parrot, you might want to consider more of a flock scenario and choose a species that would be manageable and affordable in multiples!
Posted 11 August 2010 - 05:03 AM
Chocotiel. Your pair are absolutely adorable - lucky you for having two birds who are so tolerant of each other, that's a great pic! And Loyallyroyal, Dewey is wonderful - I'm not jealous at all! Haha. And, oh my! That is a huge cage! There was one around that size at the store I visited today which was used (practically brand new) and was 450 reduced from 800. If only it wouldn't cost the price of the cage to ship it to the UK! I did buy a toy for my future bird though - perhaps a tad early but ah well!

Creator/WoodyAllen is a director, actor, screenwriter, comedian, playwright, story writer, essayist, and musician. He was born Allen Stewart Konigsberg in 1935 in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity to an Ashkenazi Jewish family. Most of his films are set in [[BigApplesauce New York]] and feature Jewish or AmbiguouslyJewish characters, often with himself or an AuthorAvatar in the lead role.
His childhood [[DarkAndTroubledPast wasn't particularly happy]], and so he began writing dark-tinged humor -- and [[TeenGenius was already selling the occasional joke by his mid-teens.]]
At seventeen, he entered NYU and the City College, but was quickly expelled. He started to write scripts to shows like ''Series/TheTonightShow'', appeared in ''Series/CandidCamera'' segments like when he had temp secretaries dictating a love letter, and doing RecordedAndStandUpComedy [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerating]] his own traits. He's never stopped, though the medium, and eventually the AuthorAvatar, has varied. Among other traits, his character is nearly always a SicklyNeuroticGeek, and full of JewishComplaining.
He started directing movies in 1965. Since then, he has directed 41 movies that range from ScrewballComedy to {{Drama}}. He was nominated for an AcademyAward twenty-four times, including a record fifteen nominations for Best Screenplay. He has won four {{Academy Award}}s -- three for Best Screenplay (''Film/AnnieHall''; ''HannahAndHerSisters'' and ''MidnightInParis'') and one for Best Director (''Film/AnnieHall''). His ''Film/AnnieHall'' famously [[AwardSnub beat]] ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'' for the Best Picture Oscar. Allen himself is not really interested in awards; he showed up at the Oscars ceremony only once in 2002, when he encouraged producers to continue filming their movies in New York after 9/11.
Most of his comedies have a certain amount of drama, varying with his mood over time. Most of his dramas have a certain amount of comedy, but the comedy is more diluted in them.
The soundtracks of his movies tend to be jazz music and old (as in 1920s-1930s) standards, no matter when or where the film is set. He did write a musical once, ''EveryoneSaysILoveYou'', but the songs are all lifted directly from that era.
He's undergone psychoanalysis for ''30 YEARS''. Exactly what good it's doing, no one knows, but his [[FreudianExcuse experience]] with psychiatrists has made its way into numerous works.
He's also [[KavorkaMan notorious]] for being a heavy womanizer. He has been involved with Harlene Rosen, Louise Lasser, Diane Keaton, Stacey Nelkin, Mia Farrow -- and Soon-Yi Previn, Mia's adopted daughter with former husband Andre Previn. Woody had adopted Dylan And Moses Farrow, two of Mia's adopted children but had no contact with Soon-Yi for most of her life. He engaged in an affair with Soon-Yi when she was 19, and the resulting outcry led to a bitter and public legal battle and media circus that still defines his image. During this period, he was also accused of sexually assaulting Mia Farrow's other daughter Dylan Farrow when she was ''seven'', but the charges were found to be inconclusive. Dylan still maintains the accusations, while Allen denies them. Naturally, almost every single plotline of his scripts is about [[AuthorAppeal sex, adultery and relationships, among other interesting things.]]
[[HeAlsoDid He also plays the clarinet and has written humorous essays and short stories]]. (There's one about Count {{Dracula}} who finds what looks like a perfect lunch -- only to find out he woke up during a solar eclipse. And the apartment is Danish modern with no shades.)
While his work in the 70s and 80s are all almost universally loved by fans his films of the 90s and (especially) the 00s are divisive amongst critics and audiences with ''MatchPoint'', ''VickyCristinaBarcelona'' and (most recently) ''Film/MidnightInParis'' receiving high praise, while other pictures- namely ''Film/CurseOfTheJadeScorpion'' and ''Hollywood Ending''- being not well thought of by most. It should be noted, however, that even the most critically derided films of his filmography still tend to have a few fans here and there.
!!A somewhat abridged list of movies is presented here:
* ''Film/WhatsNewPussycat'' (1965) - Creator/WoodyAllen's first movie (although it was directed by Clive Donner). Creator/PeterOToole tries to be faithful to his fiancee, but he's a ChickMagnet. PeterSellers is his psychoanalyst, who is stalking one of his patient's stalkers in a motel in France. Allen plays O'Toole's friend who has a crush on the fiancee. The film originally going to star Creator/WarrenBeatty, but when Woody was hired to rewrite it, he kept building up a bit part for himself and shrinking Beatty's role so blatantly that the star quit.
* ''Film/WhatsUpTigerLily?'' (1966) - A secret agent is sent to SimSimSalabim to find a lost egg salad recipe. [[GagDub Gag Dubbed]] from a Japanese [[JamesBond Bond]] knockoff. The concept was so novel at the time that he appears in an introduction to explain the concept to the audience. Interestingly, the project was originally offered to Creator/LennyBruce, who turned it down and recommended Allen for it instead.
* ''Film/CasinoRoyale1967'' - Not written or directed by Allen, but he plays Jimmy Bond, Film/JamesBond's "disappointing" nephew, who is the head of SMERSH and plans to kill all men over 4' 6" tall, so that he gets all the girls.
* ''Film/TakeTheMoneyAndRun'' (1969) - A {{Mockumentary}} focusing on an [[StupidCrooks incompetent, petty thief]]. Co-written by Creator/WoodyAllen. His debut as a full-fledged director.
* ''Men of Crisis: The Harvey Wallinger Story'' (1971) - A short {{Mockumentary}} satirizing RichardNixon's politics. Made for PBS, but they were afraid of losing their government support, so it was never aired.
* ''Film/{{Bananas}}'' (1971) - To impress a girl, Creator/WoodyAllen learns to be a revolutionary in a BananaRepublic. HilarityEnsues.
* ''PlayItAgainSam'' (1972) - A neurotic Creator/WoodyAllen tries to date other women following the advice of Creator/HumphreyBogart's ghost.
* ''Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)'' (1972) - A series of sketches providing parodic answers to such questions as "What are sex perverts?" and "What is sodomy?"
* ''Film/{{Sleeper}}'' (1973) - A health-food store owner is cryonically frozen (without his consent) for 200 years only to find that the 22nd century America is a police state ruled by a nose. Yes, a ''nose''.
* ''Film/LoveAndDeath'' (1975) - An AffectionateParody of [[Creator/FyodorDostoevsky Dostoevsky's]] and [[Creator/LeoTolstoy Tolstoy's]] romances. Also the start of Allen's TomHanksSyndrome.
* ''Film/TheFront'' (1976) - This Martin Ritt-directed comedy-drama stars Allen as a bookie who lends his name to television screenplays written by his blacklisted friend during the anti-Communist WitchHunt of the '50s.
* ''Film/AnnieHall'' (1977) - Creator/WoodyAllen's most famous movie -- and, perhaps, along with ''Manhattan'', his best (though Allen himself doesn't think much of either of them). It focuses on the difficult relationship between a [[AuthorAvatar comedian]] and the [[TheDitz ditzy]] Annie Hall. [[spoiler: In the end, they split up.]] Winner of four {{Academy Award}}s: Best Picture (for which it beat ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]''), Best Director (Allen), and Best Screenplay (Allen), Best Actress ( Diane Keaton). (Allen was also nominated for Best Actor.)
* ''Interiors'' (1978) - Three sisters find their lives spinning out of control after their parents' divorce. Allen's first straight drama.
* ''Film/{{Manhattan}}'' (1979) - Creator/WoodyAllen in an intricate LoveDodecahedron with a seventeen-year-old girl, Diane Keaton and MerylStreep.

* ''Film/StardustMemories'' (1980) - While attending a retrospect of his work, a filmmaker ([[AuthorAvatar guess who]]) recalls his life and his loves: the inspirations for his films. Also the one that gave critics and fans the phrases "the early, funny ones" and "the later, serious ones".

* ''Film/SmallTimeCrooks'' (2000) - A man tries to rob a bank by digging a tunnel from [[TheConvenientStoreNextDoor an old restaurant he bought]].

* ''Film/ToRomeWithLove'' (2012) - An anthology film set in Rome, it stars JesseEisenberg, EllenPage, Alec Baldwin, PenelopeCruz, and Allen himself in his first acting role since ''Scoop''.
* ''Film/BlueJasmine'' (2013) - Woody's first New York film since ''Whatever Works'', it features LouisCK, Alec Baldwin, CateBlanchett and Andrew "Dice" Clay.
* ''MagicInTheMoonlight'' (2014) - Starring Creator/EmmaStone and Creator/ColinFirth.
!!Tropes common to his work include:
* TheAntiNihilist: Several of Allen's protagonists are people who find reality to be miserable, full of suffering, and pretty much worthless. They generally seek to find something meaningful in their lives, try to escape from their reality, and/or simply try to enjoy their existence as best they can while they can. (''Annie Hall'', ''Stardust Memories'', and ''Midnight in Paris'')
* AuteurLicense: From his first film as director, TakeTheMoneyAndRun. His contracts stipulate that once he has agreed the basic story with the film company, he has complete creative control
* BigAppleSauce: One of his trademarks as nearly all Creator/WoodyAllen films made in the 20th century take place in New York.
** Averted lately with every film (other than ''Whatever Works'') since ''Melinda and Melinda'' being shot in Europe.
* BittersweetEnding: A number of his films end this way including [[spoiler: ''Film/AnnieHall'' and ''Broadway Danny Rose''. ''Film/ThePurpleRoseOfCairo'' is a subversion; the last minute of the movie heavily implies that the main character will have a better life from that moment on... with Creator/FredAstaire.]]
* CerebusSyndrome: Sort of, while he continued to make mostly comedies while dabbling in drama here and there, there was a point in time that fans wanted him to make more films like his "older, funnier" films.
* CreatorBacklash: Allen hates most of his films because they can never live up to the expectations he has while making them. He finds audiences' attachment to ''Film/AnnieHall'' and ''{{Manhattan}}'' irrational and perplexing.
** He has however said that he does have a fondness for ''Film/{{Zelig}}'', ''Stardust Memories'', ''MatchPoint'' and ''Film/ThePurpleRoseOfCairo''.
** Also famously agreed with the backlash against ''Film/CurseOfTheJadeScorpion''.
* DarkerAndEdgier: ''CrimesAndMisdemeanors'', ''MatchPoint'' and most of his other dramas tend to embody pretty bleak worldviews.
** ''Film/DeconstructingHarry'' is an example of one of his comedies that's a bit edgier than his other work being one of the only Allen films were the characters curse with any frequency.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: All of his comedies have a masturbation joke. Always pro-masturbation, always delivered by Allen's character.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler: ''Film/AnnieHall'', ''Play It Again Sam'', ''Anything Else'' and ''Crimes and Misdemeanors'']] all play this trope pretty straight.
* DirectedByCastMember
* DirtyOldMan: Most definitely. Precisely ''how'' dirty [[InternetBackdraft is a matter of some considerable debate]].
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: ''Film/ThePurpleRoseOfCairo'', ''Film/MatchPoint'', ''Film/CrimesAndMisdemeanors'' , ''Cassandra's Dream'' and ''Film/BlueJasmine''.]]
* GameShowAppearance: During the late 1960s Allen appeared on many GameShows, most notably as a Guest Panielist on many episodes of ''Series/WhatsMyLine'', and trying his best to get a bassett hound to "sing" on ''Series/IveGotASecret''.
** His film ''Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask)'' featured a parody called ''What's My Perversion?''.
* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery
* JewishAndNerdy
* KavorkaMan
* LemonyNarrator
* {{Letterbox}}: Allen famously insisted on ''Manhattan'' being presented this way on television and home video in the '80s, making him one of the first directors to do so.
* {{Mockumentary}}: ''Film/TakeTheMoneyAndRun'', ''Film/{{Zelig}}'', and ''Sweet And Lowdown'' are all presented as documentaries.
* MoneyDearBoy: Averted. Most of his films have really small budgets and his salary is relatively small. Also averted by big name stars that take pay cuts solely to work with him (allegedly the set fee for famous actors in his movies is five-thousand dollars per day of filming).
* NervousWreck: His standard character.
* OldShame: Granted he dislikes many of his own films but he's particularly ashamed of ''Film/CurseOfTheJadeScorpion'' having singled it out as one of his worst films.
* SceneryPorn: ''Manhattan'' and ''Film/MidnightInParis'' both start with montages showing off the cities they take place in.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: ''Film/HusbandsAndWives'' includes the line, "Her approbation was very significant to me."
* ShoutOut: Woody LOVES the films of Creator/IngmarBergman.
** Only written by Allen, but ''Play It Again Sam'' ends up being one long reference to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: His films are stuck somewhere around the middle spot. There's a lot of cynicism going on but there almost always seems to be a twinge of morality, idealism, or hope, no matter how dark the film got.
** Woody Allen identifies himself as a pessimist and he generally feels that life is very hard and very short and most people live unlucky, unfulfilling lives and difficult relationships. He does feel that accepting this is important for people to be more compassionate and tolerant of each other's flaws and difficulties.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Many of his characters.
* SwissBankAccount: "If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a deposit in my name in a Swiss bank account."
* TomHanksSyndrome: Leveled at Woody Allen by fans and critics. Lampshaded in ''Stardust Memories''.
-->'''[[AuthorAvatar Sandy Bates]]:''' But shouldn't I stop making movies and do something that counts, like-like helping blind people or becoming a missionary or something?
-->'''[[ActingForTwo Martian]]:''' Let me tell you, you're not the missionary type. You'd never last. And incidentally, you're also not [[{{Franchise/Superman}} Superman]]; you're a comedian. You want to do mankind a real service? Tell funnier jokes.
* ViewersAreGeniuses: They'd ''have'' to be to keep up with all the references to classic and European cinema and philosophers. As ''[=Movieline=]'' columnist Joe [=Queenan=] put it in his [[http://movieline.com/1991/05/01/woody-allen-whine-women-and-song 1991 essay, "Whine, Women and Song"]],
--> '''Queenan''': "Woody Allen, whatever his failings, does not make movies for morons. Most directors do. Of course, most directors are morons."
** Then again, most of his jokes are funny to people who don't know the reference, because of the ''context''. When a character snipes, "She thought the Sabine women had it coming to them!", do you need to know who the Sabine women were to get the joke?

Chief Marketer recently talked with Lindsay Resnick, CMO of KBM Group: Health Services, to get his thoughts on the impact of healthcare reform on B2B healthcare marketers.
CHIEF MARKETER: What is the biggest challenge that healthcare reform poses to B2B marketers in the healthcare space?
RESNICK: Different companies are in different places. Some hope it will get repealed, and some hope the election will change things. But pretty much all healthcare marketers realize that healthcare is transitioning into a retail marketplace.
CM: How so?
RESNICK: There are still about 169 million people who get insurance through their employer. But, there are also 18 million under the age of 65 who purchase insurance themselves. More and more of the decisions are being made by individuals

Help with Chapter 1 Novice to Ninja
I'm having a problem with this same example. I'm on a mac and set up my server with MAMP as outlined in the book. I was able to successfully complete the "today" example from chapter 1 but with this example when I type the URL into my browser (http://localhost/name.html) all I get is a page of code:

Hi, I'm Kevin!

I copied the code from https://github.com/spbooks/PHPMYSQL5...hapter3/links1 and pasted them into text edit files and saved them as name.html and name.php.html in the htdocs folder in the MAMP folder in Applications.

Well the second file in the location you linked to is called name.php, not name.php.html...

Thanks. I ended up downloading the files from github but still had problems. I guess the server kept accessing the old html file even though I moved it to the trash. Once I emptied the trash folder it used the new file. I'm guessing the reason it didn't work in the first place was because I used textedit to create the html file. I'll use textwrangler for html and netbeans for php from now on.

- Drug Repositioning and Pharmacophore Identification in the Discovery of Hookworm MIF Inhibitors
Drug Repositioning and Pharmacophore Identification in the Discovery of Hookworm MIF Inhibitors
Chemistry & Biology, Volume 18, Issue 9, 23 September 2011, Pages 1089-1101
Yoonsang Cho, Jon J. Vermeire, Jane S. Merkel, Lin Leng, Xin Du, Richard Bucala, Michael Cappello and Elias Lolis
SummaryThe screening of bioactive compound libraries can be an effective approach for repositioning FDA-approved drugs or discovering new pharmacophores. Hookworms are blood-feeding, intestinal nematode parasites that infect up to 600 million people worldwide. Vaccination with recombinant Ancylostoma ceylanicum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (rAceMIF) provided partial protection from disease, thus establishing a "proof-of-concept" for targeting AceMIF to prevent or treat infection. A high-throughput screen (HTS) against rAceMIF identified six AceMIF-specific inhibitors. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), sodium meclofenamate, could be tested in an animal model to assess the therapeutic efficacy in treating hookworm disease. Furosemide, an FDA-approved diuretic, exhibited submicromolar inhibition of rAceMIF tautomerase activity. Structure-activity relationships of a pharmacophore based on furosemide included one analog that binds similarly to the active site, yet does not inhibit the Na-K-Cl symporter (NKCC1) responsible for diuretic activity.

Orthologs of macrophage migration inhibitory factor from parasitic nematodes
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 24, Issue 8, 1 August 2008, Pages 355-363

AbstractChronic helminth infections are associated with modulation of host cellular immune responses, presumably to prolong parasite survival within the mammalian host. This phenomenon is attributed, at least in part, to the elaboration of parasite molecules, including orthologs of host cytokines and receptors, at the host–parasite interface. This review describes recent progress in the characterization of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) orthologs from parasitic nematodes. The roles of these molecules in parasite developmental biology and pathogenesis are discussed. Further knowledge of the species-specific activities and three-dimensional structures of human and parasitic nematode MIF molecules should make them ideal targets for drug- and/or vaccine-based strategies aimed at nematode disease control.

SummaryThe pleiotropic effects of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) place it in a central position in the immunopathogenesis of many diseases. Here we discuss the current understanding of MIF's role and highlight it as a potential link between inflammatory activation and malignant progression.

- The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) receptor (CD74) was cloned recently, but the signaling mechanism is not evident. We hypothesized that signaling requires an additional molecule such as CD44, which activates nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. We utilized the CD74- and CD44-deficient COS-7/M6 cell to create stable transfectants expressing CD74, CD44, and a truncated CD44 lacking its intracytoplasmic signaling domain. CD74 alone mediated MIF binding; however, MIF-induced ERK1 and ERK2 kinase phosphorylation required the coexpression of full-length CD44. MIF binding was associated with the serine phosphorylation of CD74 and CD44. Investigations that used siRNA or kinase inhibitors indicate that MIF-induced ERK1 and ERK2 activation through CD44 required the Src tyrosine kinase. Studies of CD74, CD44, and CD74-CD44 transformants and corresponding mutant cells showed that CD74 and CD44 were necessary for MIF protection from apoptosis. These data establish CD44 as an integral member of the CD74 receptor complex leading to MIF signal transduction.

Brazil Opens First-ever Pet Love Hotel
by Heather Bond | September, 2012
In a country where dogs are treated like another family member (Brazil has the world's second largest dog population), it only makes sense that this would come next.
Dog owners that care enough about their pet's libido can shell out $50 a day in the first ever pet love hotel. But why the need for it? Hotel owner Fabiano Lourdes says, "Our market studies showed that people work all day long and they do not know where to drop their pets for mating." Apparently this is considered a major issue amongst dog owners in Brazil, and Lourdes' hotel is hoping to generate sales of more than $300,000 a month.
More on the story can be seen at The Telegraph.

Is this a joke?? There was a hoax years ago about this sort of thing. The hotel rooms had mirrored ceilings. In any case, if true, this is another outrageous example of a society obsessing over mere dogs.
