Casino Digital Signage
FWi Casino Digital Signage
Casino digital signage is much, much more than the bright lights many people associate with casinos. New generation kiosk software has revolutionized slot machines, video poker, and other gaming favorites. With user-friendly 3D mapping displays, multi-story casino floors can be easily navigated. Digital software also allows table signs and slot toppers to change their display information on an automated schedule. But like most technology, the best systems are the ones that players hardly notice until they're needed and which perform reliably for casino managers day-in and day-out. Consider the following features and implementation tips to determine if your casino can benefit from casino digital signage.
Gaming Digital Signage and Keeping Players on the Floor
Your casino is probably designed to encourage players to stay on the floor for long periods of time, but the end goal is still to keep them playing. With smartly implemented gaming digital signage, the casino "maze" can, nevertheless, allow players to easily navigate to their preferred games or tables. Interactive wayfinding stations will quickly show your loyal players the location of their favorite games and update them on their player club status. Digital signs will clearly present casino game information and further help guide players through the casino. All in all, the most underappreciated quality of gaming digital signage is the ability to create more efficient gaming activity without detracting from the traditional trappings of the casino floor. And what's more, intuitive integration with your back-end systems provides you with one centralized solution to control the bulk of your visual communication.
What Casino Digital Signage Can Do
- Guide players to preferred games
- Integrate with your player rewards system
- Show table game status
- Display poker room wait lists
- Advertise on outdoor marquees
- Notify guests of jackpot winners
- Display restaurant menus
Where Casino Digital Signage Can Go
- Table game areas
- Slot toppers & end caps
- Lobbies
- Restaurants
- Players club designated areas
- Poker rooms
- Concierge areas
- Conference & convention space
- Guest room TV

According to Dater, Matt Hendricks is moving on - a source close to the player says that the Avs and Hendricks have a huge gap in expectations/money and the Avs are most likely not going to re-sign him.
In other news, Peter Mueller has apparently made a full recovery from his season-ending concussion courtesy of Sir Robert of Blake (ret'd).
Which is really good news as I was quite worried about the poor chap. I loved what he did in his 15 game stint with the Avs and he made the PP 68.5%* better than it was.
Ilya Kovulchuk has spurned the LA Kings and apparently has an offer from NY Islanders for a $100 million, ten year deal.
For Roy's sake! I would like Kovy's goals as much as the next man (as long as BiB is that next man) but is he really saying that he is worth more than that?
The more I hear about this, the less I want him. Atlanta and NYI have offered him similar deals and he is thinking about it?
Here's my issue: Russians around the league (Ovechkin excepted) are already treated with suspicion about their mercenary ways, with holdouts (Filitov) and go-homes blotting their copybooks. It has already caused players to drop in the draft because of it. (Kiril somebody). It will get to a point where teams won't bother drafting Russian players because they know that if a KHL team offers them $5.00 more, they will desert.
I don't want Kovy in an Avs unipron, because he is a greedy, mercenary bastard who would likely sell his own mother. The Avs have not always signed the classiest of players (Brad May, Darcy Tucker, Claude Lemieux) but they have kept their ratio pretty high.
New York should tell Kovy to go fuck himself and let his price deteriorate. If he doesn't like it, he can play in the KHL. He seemed very ordinary with the Devils and there is no guarantee that he wouldn't be the same with another team.

Today is Tuesday, April 15, the 105th day of 2014. There are 260 days left in the year.
YOUR TAX DOLLAR EXPLAINED - It's "Christmas" on Constitution Avenue N.W. for the IRS here in Washington. So umm, Happy April 15th? You pay your taxes and you assume it's going to schools, the military and essential services in your life. Well it turns out when you break it down entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security ate up 49%of every dollar you paid. Federal benefits? They took another 20%. These include federal workers retirement and disability, unemployment benefits, and welfare programs such as food and housing assistance. And since Obamacare spending doesn't get factored in until 2014's tax year, that will show up in next year's breakdown.
SOCIAL SECURITY REFUND DEMANDS - Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski says she's gotten assurances that the Social Security Administration that will stop harassing people who's parents (even deceased parents) may have decades old overpayments from Social Security. The debts, sometimes decades old have been suddenly winding up in the mailboxes of people who didn't actually run up the debts themselves.
The Senator sent a letter to SSA after receiving reports that people have have been slapped with massive bills demanding refunds be paid, after Social Security discovered the people had been paid more money than they were due. SSA says it was within its rights, because adult children were at one claimed as child dependents making them responsible.
VIRGINIA FREE SPEECH - When institutions decide where you can practice free speech, do you really have free speech? A court challenges to college's "free speech zones" is unfolding in Virginia. Attorneys are negotiating a settlement in the case of a student who was barred from preaching on campus. The Virginia Community College System has agreed to suspend its student demonstrations policy in response to a lawsuit filed by Thomas Nelson Community College student. On April 4, Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed legislation limiting public colleges' restraint on student expression. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education says about six in 10 colleges nationwide have policies that violate First Amendment rights -- and about one in six impose "free speech zones"
SNOWDEN PULITZER - Ft. Meade Maryland's most famous intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has a new prize to point to for his actions. The Guardian, the paper Snowden has worked closely with to spill the spying secrets of the NSA has won a Pulitzer Prize. Glen Grunwald the reporter who wrote many of the stories detailing the depth of NSA's ability to track cell phones, hack computers and track online movements led to Congressional hearings and Presidential promises of reform. Meanwhile the state's 2nd most famous leaker Pvt. Bradley Manning who now uses the name "Chelsea" had had his conviction in the Wikileaks case approved by the Commander of the Army Military District of Washington in Southwest D.C.

The Zellwood sweet corn is so delicious and popular they had to start rationing corn sales during last years Leesburg Cornfest so they wouldn't run out. They ran out anyway!
For this years Leesburg Cornfest officials nearly doubled the amount of Zellwood sweet corn -- about 12,000 ears of corn total -- and made it to the very end of the event until they sold out.
Rex Masterman, president of the Leesburg Business Association, called the Cornfest a "huge success".
The event, which was held in the square in downtown Leesburg, featured live music, games, rides, booths and cooked and uncooked Zellwood sweet corn, drew thousands.
"We always have to allow for the amount of cooked corn and still leave enough for people to purchase bags of corn to take home," said Masterman.
The corn was for sale, hot and buttered, to eat on-site. Corn lovers also could purchase fresh corn by bags of 12 ears, or by the case (about 50 ears per case).
"We guessed right this year! We had three cases left and they were snapped up by a downtown business at the very end," he said.

Virginia Senate sacks Tebow Bill...again
Humorist Albin Sadar: Lost in the great outdoors
A committee of the Virginia state Senate this week voted down the so-called Tebow Bill for the second year in a row. The bill would have given local school boards the option to allow high school homeschoolers to try out for public school sports teams and other extracurricular programs.
Twenty-seven states have existing laws similar to the Tebow bill, providing homeschoolers with opportunities to participate in public school interscholastic activities.

Item: FLOWCAPT: A New Acoustic Sensor to Measure Snowdrift and Wind Velocity for Avalanche Forecasting
Title: FLOWCAPT: A New Acoustic Sensor to Measure Snowdrift and Wind Velocity for Avalanche Forecasting
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1998 International Snow Science Workshop, Sunriver, Oregon
- V. Chritin
- R. Bolognesi
- H. Gubler
Date: 1998
Abstract: Wind can create even greater unstable accumulations of snow in mountainous areas than heavy snowfalls. But knowing wind conditions is not sufficient to predict these accumulations because their formations also depend on the snow quality of the snowpack surface upwind of the release zone. Consequently, assessment of snowdrift is required to improve avalanche forecasting. In accordance with this assumption, a new acoustic sensor was developed. The sensor includes a mechanical part designed to form a closed acoustic enclosure. The acoustic enclosure contains a microphone connected to an electrical amplifying and filtering device. Because the output information delivered by the instrument is proportional to the wind velocity and to the flux of solid particles (ice grains) drifted by the wind, the instrument is called an anemo-driftometer. Prototypes of the instrument were first tested in a wind-tunnel and then at an experimental site in the Alps. Then an operational version, called FlowCapt, was developed and connected to an automatic weather station at 2700 m in the Aminona ski resort (Switzerland). During the winter, snowdrift is recorded on the test site along with other meteorological parameters, and avalanche activity, to provide extensive on-site calibration and testing of the sensor. The experiment demonstrates that the instrument is a useful component of the avalanche forecasting chain.

Funding opportunities
Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Photoreceptors for Retinal Degenerative Disorders
Funding Type:
Early Translational IV
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 960 790
Funding Recommendations:
Recommended if funds allow
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Inherited retinal degenerations result in loss of vision in patients as early as few months after birth. Retinitis Pigmentosa includes a group of such degenerations which run in families and can result in legal blindness by 40 years of age. Even though we know a number of gene defects which can cause these disorders, gene therapy is not available to help most of these patients. In this application, we are proposing to make new light-sensing cells called photoreceptors from stem cells to take up the function in the eye. We have shown that these cells once generated in the lab have the potential to restore some vision in mice with visual impairment secondary to inherited retinal degeneration. Another way these cells could also potentially help is by preventing the remaining cells in the eye from dying and thereby preserve native vision. Cellular replacement strategy could help all patients with vision disorder including age-related macular degeneration is used with the supporting pigment epithelial cells. The work proposed here will be carried out using cells that have been generated in clean facilities so that they can then be fast-tracked to the clinic.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Photoreceptor degenerations, including Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), cause visual impairment for millions of people in the United States including a number of patients in the state of California as it is one of the most populous states in the US. RP and LCA encompass a group of retinal degeneration with a prevalence of up to 1 in 4000 and they often runs in families. Typical symptoms include night blindness followed by decreasing vision, and eventually legal blindness or, in many cases, complete blindness. RP is usually diagnosed in adolescents and young adults and most of these patients are legally blind by age 40. LCA on the other hand is much more severe affecting young children who often go blind very early in life. There are no effective forms of treatment for a majority of these patients. Thus, it results in a tremendous stress on the state of CA's resources. In addition, there is both monetary and psychological stress on the families especially as multiple family members are affected. One way to potentially help these patients will be to replace the dead cells with new photoreceptors derived from stem cells. In this proposal, we will look into the feasibility of using pluripotent stem cells to generate the replacement photoreceptors and test their effectiveness in restoring vision. This proof of concept could eventually be applied to other retinal degenerative conditions like age-related macular degeneration in association with RPE.
Review Summary:
This application for a Development Candidate Feasibility (DCF) award proposes to investigate the feasibility of developing human embryonic stem cell (hESC)- and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived photoreceptor cells as a potential therapy for patients with inherited retinal degeneration disorders. Inherited retinal disorders occur earlier in life compared to the more common macular degeneration, but both inherited and acquired degeneration can result in blindness. The applicant proposes to optimize the differentiation protocol to achieve photoreceptor cells, select the most appropriate hESC and / or iPSC lines, develop enrichment methods and assays, and then test the optimal transplantation parameters in two laboratory models of inherited retinal degeneration. Objective and Milestones - The objective of the proposal, to generate a source of photoreceptor cells, is significant and important. While others are making progress in translating cell therapies utilizing different progenitor cell types for treatment of retinal degeneration, this proposal focuses on developing and testing photoreceptor cells. - The milestones are presented in a logical fashion and are reasonable for achieving preclinical proof-of-concept. Rationale and Significance - Clinical results using a different approach suggest that even an incremental increase in photoreceptor restoration could make a significant clinical difference. - The rationale to pursue photoreceptor replacement strategies is strong. - A reliable, well-characterized source of retinal cells will be needed for replacement purposes. - While this project is likely to incrementally advance the field, there are few treatments and no cures for retinal degeneration. Feasibility and Design - The applicant presents strong data showing the induction of cells expressing retinal markers, and that a small proportion of the cells progress to express photoreceptor markers. A challenge for the project will be to increase the efficiency of this process, and improve stability of the cell phenotype. - The PI has observed anatomical integration in previous experiments; a key goal of this project is to demonstrate functional integration. Reviewers cautioned that the planned readout will be inadequate for a measurement of functional donor cell integration and should be bolstered by other functional tests. - The first milestone, to optimize differentiation, is a significant amount of work and is critical to the success of the project. Therefore, the project carries risk. - The proposed markers for retinal cells are insufficiently specific to achieve the enrichment goals stated in the application. However, reviewers noted that the applicant is right to consider that a mix of cell types might be most desirable to achieve integration and functional benefit. Qualification of the PI (Co-PI, Partner PI, if applicable) and Research Team - The applicant has performed much of the preliminary work in his / her previous lab with a highly accomplished retinal researcher. - The applicant is a newly-appointed investigator (2011) and since then productivity has been modest. - A number of key project team members are to be hired. Reviewers questioned whether this could be accomplished and new staff adequately trained in the timeframe needed to make the 3-year timeline. - The Co-investigator is well accomplished in hESC and iPSC research and can provide necessary support in his / her area of expertise. Collaborations, Assets, Resources and Environment - The PI and previous mentor hold a key patent for this approach. - All necessary materials are available to the project. - The resources at the applicant institution are sufficient to conduct the proposed research. Responsiveness to the RFA - Reviewers judged the application to be responsive to the RFA. A target for intervention is identified.

text: I have had many supervisors. Some I liked, some were just...eh, some I HATED. I gotta say the ones who made me better at what I do where the ones I was scared of and hated. They got me to produce because the fear I had of failing them was a very real motivator. I might have hated them, but I sure as heck respected them. When the game is tight, when it gets tough, thats where you find out what you are made of. When you are in the midst of feeling that "pinch", there is no greater motivator than fear. It sucks, but it is true. I am sorry, but this team has no balls. There are guys who do, like our top three(Green, Curran, Butler). As a team overall though, we do not. If you were an LSU, Alabama, or Florida, would you be scared of our Defense or Offense, or dare I say Special Teams? No. Heck no. We tackle poorly (most of the time), we make dumb mistakes, commit bone head penalties, and just all around poop the bed with no fear of the consequences. There is no retribution at practice. There can't be with the way it just keeps happening, and happening and happening. Inflexibility or ill advised calls from certain coaches don't help either. Even I could figure out how to beat Martinez because of his inability to adjust or abandon what was working. Take some risks Willie! Do you think soldiers liked Patton? Probably not all of them,but they all respected him. Believe that. Look at the results he produced. Patton ran through France like poop through a stinking goose until he out ran his supply line. Do you think they sang kumbaya around the campfire and had "I'm okay, you're okay" talks? Heck no. We lack an edge, we lack a killer instinct. These guys face no consequences, and if they do, they have no teeth, no effect to generate fear. A lack of discipline exists from the top down. From Richt to the practice squad. I love this team, I love the University, win or lose. If we don't make changes and make them fast, we will have more of the same. We must be vicious, we must be fast. Fleet footed and able, assassins of our opponents physical abilities and motivations. We need to be heart breakers and momentum takers. We need to be junkyard DAWGS! Cold and calculated, unforgiving in our precision. Big plays should not be celebrated excessively in shocked surprise, they should be expected based on execution and precision. Act like you've been there before, and walk away like you knew it was gonna happen all along. You break your opponents and walk away like it was nothing. No swagger or smugness to give them motivation for next year, just cold hard conclusive results. Take everything and leave nothing. Until we find a way to instill discipline and break our opponents. the Red and Black will not be feared, we will be beaten like we have been this year, over and over again. The team really has taken on Richt's laid back Joe Cool persona. CMR is a great man, but he's gotta find that guy with "Patton/Erk-esque" mentality that will make people more willing to let their own momma down than that man, whoever they may be. This post may be harsh, but I think it is exactly what his team needs. A kick in the a#@ that will turn out to be the shot in the arm we need. Go Dawgs!

With over a dozen new comedies added to the lineups, we have a lot to look forward to this fall. The networks are rolling out trailers and we're seeing some favorite familiar faces and promising newcomers.
Steve Martin famously admitted to donning his signature white suit for his stand-up act in the 1970s as a way to literally stand out amongst a mob of other hungry, young comics. This now appears the happy problem of comediennes as well.
We get that this is Gentleman's Quarterly and we're definitely not the target demo, but when you do a comedy issue we, as comediennes, expect there to at least be some substance -- or at the very least laughs -- inside.

This is one of my favorite dishes. My grandmother used to fix this all the time. She used white silver queen corn and added heavy cream instead of milk. It was always so great. I miss her, no one can fix it the way she did.

DELICIOUS Fried Corn, very easy, I added red, green, yellow Bell peppers along with the Bacon I used to fry the corn in, crumbled it into little bitty pieces. Very Good. Sharing with my neighbors where I live, and of course my Darling Tarzan. He loves my cooking. Thank you Paula I'm aiming right at his Heart. My Neighbors love it too. So do I, You're the BEST. D

I used this recipe out of the Paula Deen Magazine I picked up at the store and it varies slightly from this one. The one in the magazine called for 1 tsp pepper and salt and sugar and 1/2 cup water which I didn't like using the water because then the corn would not fry once you put the water in. It called for way to much pepper, it was very hot and my kids would not eat it. I think I will try this recipe again from this website instead of the magazine.

I made this the other day with lunch, and my family loved it! It gives the corn a whole different taste.

My Mama grew up here in Arkansas and my sister and I were raised in Michigan. My mama passed away about 10 years ago and my sister and I moved back to Arkansas 5 years later. My mama cooked just like you cook!! Unfortunately she never share her 'down home' recipes with us girls. So, we've had to try to re-create some of her dishes from our memories of how they tasted. This recipe is something she cooked on a regular basis. Neither I nor my sister have every come close to re-creating it until I found this on your site!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The only difference in her and your recipe is along with the fresh corn, she added a can of cream style corn and a flour/water roux for thickening; stirred and scorched it a little so that there were flecked of blackening from the cast iron skillet in it. AND WE LOVED IT. My sister recently moved back 'up north'. I can't wait til Thanksgiving when I go to Illinois and cook this for her just like our Mama did.

Lynne Stewart is one of the legendary activist lawyers of our time and also one of the many political prisoners of our time, who was incarcerated because her style of lawyering was called aiding and abetting a terrorist organization, by one of the biggest terrorist organizations ever known to humanity: the United States government.

Prisoners in the Security Housing Units, SHUs, at Pelican Bay and Corcoran state prisons in California are beginning an indefinite hunger strike on July 1, 2011, to protest the cruel and inhumane conditions of their imprisonment in what is being called "an unusual show of racial unity." Breaking news: Prisoners at Centinela have joined the hunger strike. A prisoner there reports: "Only a few inmates are walking the yard. No Blacks or Hispanics have left their cells. No one has gone to work. He said all the races are united in this fight."

It's no picnic being a coach's son. Ask Daniel Martinez.
"I tell him he needs to work twice as hard as everybody because I am the coach," said Richard Martinez, who now heads the Robertson football team as well as the school's championship wrestling program.
"He tells me, 'You gotta work your butt off,'" Daniel himself agreed.
Every year on Good Friday people from far and near walk to El Santuario de Chimayo. They are called Pelegrinos (Pilgrims). Alice Bullock in a book called "Living Legends" published by the Spanish colonial altos society, gives her version of the story of "El Santuario de Chimayo." Chimayo is a small village located in northern New Mexico, northeast of Santa Fe.
SANTA FE — Public Regulation Commissioner Jerome Block Jr. was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday on eight felony counts related to his alleged misuse of public campaign funds in last year's election. His father, Jerome Block, also was indicted, on four felony counts.
The investigation started last fall after the younger Block admitted to the Las Vegas Optic that he had lied on his campaign finance report.
As head coach of the Robertson wrestling team, Richard Martinez has congratulated more than his share of Cardinal grapplers for winning a state title.
But being able to embrace Wally Diaz after the RHS senior won at 145 lbs. meant added emotion.
"It was special," Martinez said. "Wally's like a son to me ... He's a great kid; he deserves it. ... I'm gonna miss Wally. He's a stud. He's tough."
Las Vegas' wastewater utility supervisor has pleaded guilty to embezzlement at the city. He reportedly remains on the job.
Steve Medina, 41, admitted to a petty misdemeanor embezzlement charge in Magistrate Court last week.
According to court documents, authorities were called to investigate the embezzlement on July 28. Days later, Medina admitted that he had another city employee work on his car on city time, documents state. The work on Medina's vehicle lasted about two hours.
The Meadow City Independent came out with its first edition on April 2, promising to provide the community with an "unbiased and positive perspective."
The managing editor, Eric Valdez, says he wants the weekly newspaper to spotlight the stories of local residents.
"We would like to focus on everyone from kids to senior citizens. We could learn so much from everyone in the community," he said. "There are children out there who are improving their grades, and if you give them a little credit for it, that may change their life."
The Mora County assessor's office recently sent out thousands of notices of valuation to property owners, but many of them listed the wrong taxable values.
As-sessor Angela Romero said this week that the company that printed the notices accidentally left off the last number of some taxable values. For example, a property with a taxable value of $50,000 would appear as $5,000.
She said this problem could have affected as many as 3,700 of the 8,242 notices sent out.
Peter Skelton has been teaching at Memorial Middle School for the last three years, but the impact of his work doesn't stop at the campus door. His love for Mother Nature spills over into everything he does inside and outside the classroom.
Memorial Middle School Principal Sandra Madrid said, "He has become an integral part of our school, he's a natural teacher, even though he's never taught before. He enjoys what he does and is always thinking of new ways to teach. He's never idle, never, and has become part of our family."
What did they know? When did they know it? Reports by the state police and the Las Vegas City Schools district give indications of when Robertson High School's football coaches and district administrators reportedly became aware of attacks at a team camp last year. The attacks involved players sodomizing others with broomsticks.
On Saturday, Martin Suazo was re-elected as the chairman of the San Miguel County Democratic Party. That victory doesn't change the fact that it's time for the party to clean up its act.
By our reading of state statutes, a number of delegates violated the law by participating as delegates. This is likely a problem elsewhere, but our local party should lead the way by insisting on the highest standards.

I've just logged in after many months of absence to find that most of my reviews have vanished without a trace. No moderation notices, no point deductions, no ban .... nothing. This kind of amateurish bullshit is simply unacceptable as far as I'm concerned, but really, I'm not sure why I was so surprised when it finally happened. Thankfully, I got most of my reviews backed up on various Word files but the fact still remains that a bulk of my reviews had just disappeared into thin air and it seems like I'm not the only one who had become a victim of this new "glitch".
To be honest, I don't really care at this point, either. Whether they bring back my reviews or not, I'm officially done with this shit hole for good. I will not be posting any more reviews or blogs in the near future, and possibly ever again. I'll still be around for a while, merely because I get a fair share of gaming news here on this sewage canal of a website. I'll still read your blogs and reviews, but as far as my opinion is concerned, it's a only matter of time before this whole community goes under. It's already showing signs of slow inexorable decay. No one seems to post blogs anymore, and no one seems to read any of them, either. Can't say I blame them. It's impossible to get anything done with this awful new layout.
It seems like my reviews are still out there, it's just that Gamespot doesn't seem to realize they belong to my account.
I'm so tired of this crap.

The Arizona State Sun Devils are off to a good start in conference play and will attempt to keep rolling when they travel to Colorado to face the Buffaloes on Thursday.
At 2-0, the Sun Devils currently sit atop the Pac-12 South division. They are 4-1 overall this season and should be well rested as they are coming off a bye week. ASU has been strong both offensively and defensively this season. Led by quarterback Taylor Kelly, the Sun Devils are 23rd in the country in scoring at 38.4 points per game. Arizona State is 12th in points allowed, limiting opponents to 13.6 points per game.
Colorado, on the other hand, has struggled on both sides of the ball. The Buffaloes are 1-4 on the season and rank in the bottom 20 in both points scored and points allowed. Colorado's offense is averaging 21.6 points through its first five games, good for 102nd in the country. The defense ranks lower, coming in at 118th by allowing 39.4 points per game. Like Arizona State, Colorado is also coming off a bye week.
Arizona State is a heavy favorite heading into the game, but have to be cautious to not overlook the Buffaloes. ASU is set to face No. 2 Oregon next week.
Game time, TV channel: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN
Point spread: Arizona State favored by 23 points

ALBANY -- Count four Albany County nurses among those scared of H1N1.
Not the virus itself, but of the vaccine for it that New York is requiring all health care workers to receive by the end of November.
"Receiving the vaccine doesn't mean you're not going to get the flu," says Lorna Patterson, an emergency room nurse at Albany Medical Center. She is one of the four nurses who are planning to file a lawsuit this week against New York in order to stop the state from enforcing its mandatory vaccinations. In addition to H1N1--or swine flu--nurses, doctors, and others who care for the health of others in New York will have to receive a seasonal flu shot. It's the first time the state has mandated such a vaccination.
"I have had more staff that have become ill after the flu vaccines this year than coworkers that have actually come down with the illness," Patterson says. She's been a nurse for 28 years, but during that time has only been vaccinated once, for influenza in the early 1990's. Instead she prefers proper hygiene, such as washing hands and covering her mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, over a vaccine.
Same goes for her coworker, nurse Katheryn Dupuis. Like Patterson, she has only been vaccinated once--also for influenza--during her decade as an emergency room nurse.
"We're going to lose our jobs if we do not get this vaccine," Dupuis says. "There are hundreds of coworkers of ours that feel just as strongly against the vaccine."
Indeed the state is telling health care workers that the consequences of not being vaccinated for either flu is termination of employment. Patterson and Dupuis say if they fail to get vaccinated by Oct. 27, they've been told they will face a week of suspension without pay, followed by termination if they don't get the vaccines. The state deadline for health care groups to comply with the mandate is Nov. 30, but the nurses say some hospitals have such large staffs that ensuring everyone is in compliance is forcing them to establish their own deadlines. Nevertheless, the nurses say they don't blame their employer, rather the State of New York for violating their civil rights.
Among the concerns the nurses have is the safety of the H1N1 vaccine. They claim it was "rushed" through testing and subsequent production without the year of testing and data collection many vaccines typically face.
"This mandate is one that we've never faced before has health care providers," Patterson says.
This certainly wouldn't be the first time a mandatory vaccination case would be heard in court. In 1905, the Supreme Court ruled that the states had the authority to pass mandatory vaccination laws under the idea that an individual's freedom sometimes must give way to the welfare of the community (Jacobson v. Massachusetts). The case involved a compulsory vaccination law requiring citizens to receive a free small pox vaccine or pay a $5 fine.
The nurses' lawyer, Terry Kindlon, however, says his clients' case is different. Whereas the Massachusetts case involved a nominal fee, these nurses' careers are on the line.
"Right now this is an emergency situation," Kindlon says. "People are being forced to do something by the government acting blindly for reasons that are not clear, but about which cynicism might not be an inappropriate attitude to take." As for the 1905 ruling, which was upheld in 1922, Kindlon says he's willing to take on a 110-year-old decision.
The suit is expected to be filed in New York Supreme Court by the end of the week. Patterson says a group of eight nurses, including her and Dupuis, finally came together to do something near the end of last week. They met with Kindlon during the weekend, and the final details of the lawsuit are still being hammered out.
In the meantime, the nurses are circulating petitions to various area hospitals and health care providers. To date, they count 466 signatures, though the nurses say that is only one of several petitions floating through the community. They're also planning a rally on the East steps of the Capitol Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. to collect more signatures and get the attention of lawmakers.
Patterson says above all, a person should be able to choose whether to get a vaccine, not have their job put on the line to enforce compliance. Patterson and Dupuis vow to retire or find nursing jobs out of state if New York does not back down from its mandate.
"I don't think anybody wants to achieve that kind of a result," Kindlon says. "I think it's reminiscent of the bank bailout of last year. These health care workers are being stampeded into this, and we're supposed to be a thoughtful, rational society that deals with things through due process and careful reflection. That's not what [New York] want(s) them to do here. They're saying, 'Look you guys, get the shots or in two weeks, you're on the street.' That's criminal. That's ridiculous. That's insane."

Asset Refinance Explained
We offer a wide range of facilities from the best finance companies
- Asset refinancing facilities from £10,000 to £100 million
- Facilities up to 10 years (depending on the asset's estimated working life)
- Fast to arrange (24 hours possible)
- Low cost method of finance
- Extensive panel of lenders
- Release up to 100% of the value of your assets
Independent asset finance brokers who compare all asset refinancing options to find and put in place the best asset refinance deals from £5,000 to £50 million.
Providing an excellent alternative to bridging loans, asset refinancing can also be arranged very quickly, normally within just a few days (although 24 hours is also possible). In addition asset refinance is a low cost method of finance that has a high acceptance rate.
Being independent finance brokers we have facilities with all the best providers of asset refinance, from the large asset finance companies who are subsidiaries of the big banks, to the smaller specialist niche lenders. We will find you the best asset refinancing deal currently available based on the type of asset being used for security, the amount and term that is required, and any other additional requirements that you may have.
As independent asset finance brokers we will search the most competitive asset refinance providers to find facilities that meet your requirements. We will then compare these facilities to ensure that you receive a great deal.
Funds raised through asset refinancing can be used for any purpose
The money received through refinancing equipment and releasing capital can be used by your business for any legal purpose:
- To expand and develop your business
- Provide funds to acquire new equipment, machinery or other assets
- Improve cash flow by providing a cash injection
- Restructure your finances by consolidating other debts
- Raise the capital required for a new project
- An alternative to overdraft and other bank facilities
- Provide the capital required to fulfill a large order
Repayment terms for asset refinancing can be tailored to suit your requirements, normally on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Asset refinancing from KIS
Up to 100% of the asset value can be raised and you can refinance any assets that your business owns. Ideally any asset that you would like to refinance should be unencumbered (owned outright / has no existing finance secured on it). If there is existing finance already secured on the asset, it can still be refinanced provided that the existing asset finance facility is cleared beforehand, or from the proceeds of the new facility.
Single or multiple assets can be refinanced in order to raise the finance required. You retain the asset and use it like you did previously.
Asset refinancing can be used to release the tied up capital in most assets provided that they are durable and also identifiable, so they will need to have a registration or serial number.

Sale and leaseback explained
Sale and leaseback is a term used to describe the act of selling an asset to a leasing company for an amount equivalent to its current market value, this is a method of asset refinance. The payment for the asset is then available for the company to use. The company is able to continue using the asset in the same way that it used to, in return lease payments are made each month or quarterly to the leasing company.

Resolution is a feature that can be measured, and it makes a huge difference, otherwise why not use a coke bottle?
What a lot of people don't realize that the resolution of point and shoot lenses is not only very high, but is higher than a typical DSLR lens. It has to be higher because of the tiny sensor. Since the lenses are small, they can be made to high resolutions more easily and cheaply. They have pretty much reached the practical limit, so there is no magic formula to keep improving them by any large amounts.
That doesn't mean that the resolution of the final images is higher, but, if you were to measure the mtf of the lens, it will usually be higher.
Panavision used to have a supurb presentation about the subject, but have since taken it down. It still lives on the internet in places like this. I'd strongly recommend this for all photographers, since it explains the significance of MTF and what resolution as we think of it really is.
Thank you for the link, looking forward to watch and get further educated.
Fantastic set of videos, thanks!

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont man who pleaded guilty in federal court to possessing child pornography also faces state charges of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.
Robert Chase, 50, of Brattleboro could face at least eight years in prison when he is sentenced in April.
A plea agreement is being worked on for Chase. Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Masterson said a condition of the agreement is that Chase plead guilty to the state charges. The federal sentence would run concurrently with his state sentence.
Windham County Deputy State's Attorney David Gartenstein tells the Brattleboro Reformer he's aware of the federal plea agreement, but had no information on when Chase might resolve the state charges leveled against him.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Halston muse and pioneering black cover model Naomi Sims died Saturday, at 61. [NYT]
With the exodus of designers to London fashion week this fall, we're not surprised that rumors are already percolating about who will fill their front rows. On tap for Topshop: Blake Lively, Taylor Momsen, Anne Hathaway, and Kate Bosworth, among others. Let's hope they put in some face time at Bryant Park, too. [Grazia Daily]
Rest easy, Prada fans. The label's loan has been extended until 2012, at which point they'll need to pay back €450 million. Or, a whole lot of hip waders. [WWD]
Speaking of fall fashion, this season is shaping up to be sell-or-sink time for small fashion labels that have survived this far. No need to shop for your favorite young designers till you drop—perhaps just until you get slightly fatigued. [WWD]
May she rest in peace
I'm so sorry that I didn't react earlier, yes RIP Naomi Sims. She was stubborn and that made her so succesfull, rejected by modeling agencies she found a way to become one of the first black models on a cover. She paved the way for Beverly Johnson, Alca Chinn, Pat Cleveland and a lot of others. Nowadays Naomi and also Jourdan and even Chanel Imam can be thankfull to her. Just 61 but she had a beautiful life with a lot of victories in it and her own company.

Smokers now have a high-tech solution to help quit smoking.
A company in Hong Kong has developed the "E"cigarette. It's a cigarette-shaped electronic device that delivers nicotine in inhalers to simulate the smoking experience. The "E"cigarette allows smokers to slowly reduce the level of nicotine they get and eventually kick the habitat altogether.
It's not available yet in the US, but the company is already selling the device throughout Asia and Europe. It's not cheap. Overseas, the "E" cigarette sells for more than $200.

Yes, pure quinoa is gluten-free, making it safe for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity. However, that doesn't mean that all products containing quinoa are gluten-free in fact, some are not.
Quinoa isn't really a grain it's the seed of a plant that's related to spinach, not to wheat. Therefore, if you can find plain quinoa whole or flour that's labeled or certified gluten-free, it makes a perfect substitute for grain-based menu items. I've used it as whole-"grain" hot cereal (cook it as you would oatmeal), and ground into flour for flatbread.
Quinoa also makes decent pasta and a good base for cold cereal. I've seen it used in cold summer "grain"-based salads instead of bulgur wheat, and even in gluten-free flour blends for cakes and pastries.
Many but not all of the quinoa-based products on the market are considered gluten-free.
For example, Ancient Harvest makes a variety of safe quinoa products, including pasta that's based on quinoa and corn flours and made in a gluten-free facility. Orgran, another manufacturer of gluten-free products, makes gluten-free cereal, flatbread and multigrain crumbs with quinoa.
Bob's Red Mill makes quinoa flour in a gluten-free facility (although celiacs who can't tolerate oats should know that Bob's also processes its gluten-free oats in that facility). However, Bob's Red Mill also makes an organic 7-Grain Pancake Mix with quinoa ... and that mix is not gluten-free.
The bottom line is, you can't assume that products containing quinoa as their main ingredient are gluten-free, just as you can't assume products that contain rice or corn as their main ingredient are gluten-free. You always have to check the ingredient label for terms that mean gluten before buying anything.

In selecting a benefit to assist with the funding of the upcoming Bevill State Moonbuggy project, instructor Maurice Ingle thought of incorporating bracelets into fundraising for the project with a special twist — the addition of a flashdrive that could be used by students, teachers or anyone who often loses the small external computer component.
"We're always looking for fundraising ideas that will be successful for our moonbuggy project, and I know rubber bracelets are currently a big fashion trend," Ingle said. "My students are constantly leaving or losing their flashdrives at computers in my class. With the bracelets, they're easy to see and a person is far more capable of keeping up with them."
Each bracelet contains a 2 gigabyte flashdrive located on the underside. They come in five colors: crimson, orange, pink, purple and black. The cost of each bracelet is $15 and can be purchased through student services at Bevill's Jasper and Sumiton campuses.

Al Jarreau laughs a lot. For a 73-year-old singer who recently finished a four-week solo tour of Europe and averages 70 shows a year, he's still got plenty of sheer delight for what he does, whether it's jazz, pop, R&B, or Rodgers and Hammerstein numbers. And when he goes onstage with the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra on Tuesday at the Washington State Fair, he'll bring that delight to fans on a grander scale.
A seven-time Grammy winner, and the only vocalist to win in three separate categories, Jarreau is as well-known for his unique vocal abilities as his longevity in the business. A crooner who can morph into scat singing and imitating bass, drums or guitar, he's equally at home singing classics such as "Sophisticated Lady" or his 1981 soft blues hit "We're In This Love Together." Since 1999, he has been doing orchestra gigs, and his latest album was recorded live with the Dutch Metropole Orkest.
The smooth voice that broke onto the San Francisco scene in the late 1960s has become a little more scratchy with time, but it has lost none of its agility, and Jarreau keeps busy with a new album and a tour in the works.
In a chirpy tenor, with plenty of jokes, Jarreau told The News Tribune over the phone why he's glad to be back at the Washington State Fair, singing the tunes he loves with a symphony.
Q: You came to the fair in 2008, with The Manhattan Transfer. Are you glad to be back?
A: Yes, of course! And to do my show in a way people have not seen me do before. That's always a special occasion, when I'm singing with the symphony.
Q: What's special about singing with an orchestra?
A: I hope it's obvious to the listener — that it's to hear all this familiar music expanded to the biggest expansion music can have on this planet. Sure, with electronics you can do anything you want to make the music outrageous. But when you use an orchestra and you bring together all these musicians and the music of the last 200 years, it's an incredible experience. Every singer since (Frank) Sinatra has wanted to sing with an orchestra. All the possibilities, all the colors are there.
Q: Tell us about what you'll be singing with the Tacoma Symphony.
A: I'll do a program I've been doing with symphonies for 15 years now. It's not what I did with the Metropole; there's a different emphasis. I'm going to sing "We'll Get By" and "Raindrops on Roses." Then I do one I call the "Jarreau-verture." It's an overture of songs that are Al Jarreau hits! I'll sing a couple of things from "Porgy and Bess," and Bach's "Air on the G String" that I wrote some lyrics to. That's unrecorded, that one. Folks will hear stuff they know, and they'll have a good chuckle and be delighted to hear things they haven't heard before. It's fun. The joy is to pay attention to what the orchestra is playing. ... You listen to the line of the oboe, or to the strings as they play some accompaniment. That's the stuff that makes it a different performance.
Q: You've had such a long career, and you just keep on going. How do you keep things fresh?
A: I take delight in making something that causes people to laugh and smile for a while in this crazy world. It's all of that stuff. I like reading my mail — people listen to my music when times are dark for them. It's healing. There's nothing more important than that. It's God's work. I'm in the cardiology business — lifting the heart!
Q: And what's your secret for keeping on loving what you do, despite the difficulties of touring and performing?
A: I look forward to that experience with people — that's what makes you want to do the work. I get to sit down and write new music — that's important for me, to complete a new chapter of a song or record. All of that helps to keep you going when you get to my age, which is 45!
Q: What about health-wise?
A: I've always thought of a singer as an athlete. I keep pretty fit. I exercise in the morning, eat healthily, keep the bad habits down.
Q: Tell us something the fans don't know about Al Jarreau.
A: Well — you're looking for scandal, now, aren't you? I need some more scandal in my life! But here's something — I've just written a song for Taylor Swift called "It's Wonderful to Know." I think she's headed for the big screen. She's got a presence and a sparkle in her demeanor, and I think this song would be good for an animated film. I think she would be perfect for it, and I hope she'll sing it. In the meantime, I'll sing it!
Al Jarreau with the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Where: The Washington State Fair concert stage, 110 Ninth Ave. SW, Puyallup

As I read the blogs on Pound the Rock, I can't help but feel that Spurs fans are in denial. Now I know this is only my second post, but I have been following Seth Pollack and all you others for quite some time (probably over the last 2 or 3 years). So forgive my newbie ways, if you will.
I sit and watch ESPN and NBA TV every morning with my coffee, and all I hear is that the Suns aren't as talented of a team as the San Antonio Spurs. 8 out of 10 ESPN analyst have the Spurs beating the Suns. Even analysts like Jalen Rose, who is a former Suns player, albeit he wasn't one for long, have said that the Suns aren't a good enough team to win. But why is it then that the Suns are the #3 seed, and the Spurs a #7? Oh, wll it's because the Spurs didn't pick it up until later in the season, the Suns fluked into the #3 seed, injuries on the Spurs roster, blah, blah, blah. It's due to the fact that the Suns are the better team! I knew right away that the Suns were a different team under Alvin Gentry and his coaching staff. Already we are seeing the benefits of Dan Marjle's contributions, and the defense that Alvin has brought to this team. But even in the first round the Suns were picked to lose by the "Experts" (not all of them of course).
The refusal to accept the that the Suns are a good team runs deep in the NBA world. Only Suns fans believe in this team. But as I watched the post game last night, I noticed that we're seeing doubters. "Oh, well we underestimated the Suns", or "The Spurs aren't playing good D", or even "The Suns are good at home, but will fold in San Antonio". BS! I watched Kenny Smith switch sides last night, and have watched as ESPN analyst are starting to turn. Band-wagoners!
Enough with my ranting, lets get to the statistical side of things. The Spurs played some great D in the first half, holding the suns to, I think, 33% shooting. The Spurs also played a great offensive game, shooting a hot 50.6% throughout the contest. But the Suns still won. The Suns bench came out to play, with Dudley having 2 quick And-1 buckets in the 2nd quarter to keep the Suns in it. Frye finally warmed up later in the game and by the end had hit 5 of 6 from behind the arc. J-Rich scored under 20 (19), and the Suns still won (I only mention this because Kenny Smith said if he doesn't score 20, the Suns will lose). Nash had an average game with 19 points and 6 assists. Whereas the Spurs' Tim Duncan had a great game with 29 points and 10 boards. Manu had an off shooting night, but with 11 assists, it wasn't horrible. TP had 20 pionts and 7 assist. I'm sure you guys already know these things, but in a game I thought it looked like the Spurs should've won, the Suns still pulled it out. And why? The defense wasn't great (allowing, as I said, almost 50.6% shooting), and the shooting sucked.
Back to where I started. I think the Suns pulled it out because they want it more. It's only a 2-0 series lead, and I know the Spurs came back to win the series against the Hornets after dropping the first two, but I don't see it happening again. The Spurs era has come to an end, and the Suns will finally take a series from the 4-time champs and prove it to all. But I think that the underdog status fits us well. So, to that end, keep doubting Spurs fans. You give me hope and fuel the fire for the Phoenix team that no-one thought could even make the playoffs, let alone grab the #3 seed and beat the Spurs. If the Suns can steal a game in San Antonio, then I see them walking away in 5, and meeting the Lakers in the WCF. And I'm sure the Lakers fans think the same thing you do... but that's another rant.

DERRY — The decision whether to file any charges against Town Administrator John Anderson now lies with the Rockingham County Attorney's Office.
"The case is done from our end of it, it's been submitted to the Rockingham County Attorney's Office," said New Hampshire State Police Capt. David Parenteau, the commander of the state police Investigative Services Section. "I'm not in a position to make any specific comments on the case at this point, other than to say it's been concluded and it's now under review at the county attorney. As soon as that's done, we should have an answer as to whether there will be any charges filed or not."
County attorney Jim Reams said Monday evening his office received the state police file Friday and he hopes to have a decision whether to file charges this week or next.
Anderson has been on paid administrative leave since July 12, a day after a citizen went to Derry police with a complaint about an incident that allegedly took place a night earlier at Anderson's Derry home.
To avoid any conflict of interest — or appearance thereof — state police were asked to investigate.
The Town Council met in nonpublic session for less than an hour July 12 before emerging and voting, 7-0, to place Anderson on leave. They also named Larry Budreau, who's the human resources director and assistant administrator, as acting town administrator.
Anderson, 50, makes $124,962 a year. He was chosen from a field of 121 candidates in October 2010. Prior to taking the top Derry job, he was town manager in Boothbay, Maine, for 10 years.
Town councilors appear satisfied with how the investigation is progressing and Budreau's temporary role at the helm.
"I think it's been hard," Town Councilor Phyllis Katsakiores said Tuesday. "I don't think Derry deserves this bad publicity."

This year, DHS has many new teachers. Mr. Smith is a new Global Social Studies teacher, but he's not new to DHS.
"I was fortunate to work with Mr. Bretz and Ms. Carter last year when I was doing classroom observations as a University of Illinois student. I enjoyed this time and was impressed by the students and faculty."
Another thing Mr. Smith likes about the school is the professional development opportunities.
"I plan on taking advantage of many of these opportunities, especially those involving technology use in instructional activities."
In Global House, the teachers implement the use of Clickers. Mr. Smith has easily taken on this tactic and is quickly implementing more technology use; most recently he Skyped in a guest speaker from South America for his geography class.

If this trade is real and we do end up with the 16th pick, I would look to take Decastro if he is still there.
We should then have,
2 first in 2013
2 seconds 2012
2 thirds in 2012
3 fourths in 2012
Not even Speilman can fuck this up. I would look to trade our Early 4th for a 2nd next year.
I would take Jeffery at the top of the 2nd.
I envision our season going rather poorly and we having a top 3 pick. Add that to the Jets being horrible and I expect to see them with a top 10pick next season. Enough for us to pick up Robert Woods (WR) and D.J. Fluker (OT).
Fluker - Deastro - Sully - RG - Loadholt = a great line
Harvin - Woods - Jeffery - Jenkins = A great WR Corp.

The map was a bit hard to put up and I thought I would not be able to line up the edges but everything lined up perfectly. It does overlap but you honestly can't see the seams unless you search for them. We got this map so that we can mark where we have been and where we want to go as a family so having this map large and to scale is PERFECT! I am extremely pleased I purchased this one.

With more walls I'd have more of these!
By spud
from farnborough hants
The map is in four sections (quarters). The key to putting this map up successfully is planning. Lay out the map sections dry to work out where each of the overlaps are (ours was about 8mm overlap on each section). Mark the wall using a spirit level & pencil to create horizontal and vertical centre lines. With some common sense and practical ability, two people can put this up perfectly. We're exceptionally pleased with the result and have to hunt around for the joins!

Because of the size of it, it came in four separate sheets, naturally. However, the sheet edges didn't even line up!! So while you overlap pieces of Spain and Lisbon to match , if you look west, I have two wisconsins (e.g) on my map because it didn't line up. So it really is not a great a map. From far looks great, but doesn't line up. The 4 sheets are different sizes as well. I had a professional wall paper expert put it up and as he progressed he showed me the faults before sticking it to the wall.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Slow PSN Downloads?
Updated 1/23/2013
Apparently threads get auto closed after some time, a bit strange, but I thought I'd check back in on this thread and mention that for whatever reason, my download speeds have increased significantly at my house. No changes to my network or service, just a sudden, stark increase in speeds. I don't know what to attribute it to (maybe heavy holiday PSN congestion?), but I'm loving it. A 430MB patch for 'Smart As' was measured in mere minutes rather than the hours I would have expected below.
Had wanted to ask if others had noticed anything similar, but again, this forum is apparently closed.
New Vita owner here looking to fill the 32gb card they got with a plethora of games. However, I found out the hard way that the Vita seemingly has low quality DSL-like speeds when it comes to downloading and was curious if there was anything I could do on my end to alleviate this, or if it was simply something Vita owners deal with.
Googling the issue doesn't provide a whole lot; most threads start with a question similar to mine and quick end with a bunch of 'Yea, me too!' or 'LOL DONT USE CRAPPY INTERWEBS!', the latter certainly not being the case for me. Using my 3G vita, getting even one game (Uncharted for example) via Wi-Fi would have likely taken around 12-18 hours, let alone all of the PS+ freebies. It is using the same WiFi (n rated) that my PS3 and X360 do (both are wired via Ethernet coming from a switch that is in turn hooked to a Wireless N gaming adapter). I finally gave up on hour 2 having not even cleared 300MB and went to my PS3 to download it. Within an hour (wasn't watching it) all 6 PS+ games were done.
In an effort to remove my home internet from the equation, I also ran the Vita off of a 4G hotspot which has served me very well when the cable goes out and that too offered nearly identical results. Very disappointing.
I could go ahead and try the 3G service, but I'm all too familiar with ATT 3G here at work (our sole service provider for over 200 devices) and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.
Is my experience that out of the ordinary or is this just something I have to deal with? Kind of sucks not to be able to update the library on the go; I now continue to manage my library exclusively from my PS3. The PS3 itself used to have pretty terrible download speeds (back when I got it in 09) but that seemed to improve with time. Perhaps the same will come for the Vita?

There is no Necessary Conversation today. I'm so sorry. We have good excuses, tho. Anyway, get this.
Last night, Melissa moderated a debate at the Commonwealth Club for INFORUM, which is the cool kids club within the Commonweath. (You should join. It is wonderful.) I was the Mistress of Ceremonies, which basically meant I had to warm up the audience before it all started. I gave like, a seven-minute speech on dumb mayoral stuff and then Mel took the stage along with all sixteen candidates.
Sixteen candidates? Yeah, sixteen candidates.
For a myriad of reasons, mainly because she was so honored to be moderating an esteemed Commonwealth Club event, Melissa busted her ass even more than usual on this debate. She's been working on this for over a month. And you know, everyone's style is different. It takes all kinds. And I am biased. But she nailed it.
So after the official debate, there was a video presentation. Several people (and some candidates) snuck out to the lobby, including Melissa and me. She had to get back on stage, and we needed like, 20 seconds to confer on her wrap up. All of these people kept coming up to say, "Oh hello, I'm so and so and wasn't that great."
To which we smiled and said, "Oh, thank you so much."
This middle-aged woman in faded black and burgundy waited her turn and then said directly to Melissa, "Excuse me. I think you did a really good job. You really did. but I found your tone condescending. You were really very rude, AND MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT SO."
Melissa just looked at her and said, "Okay. Thanks for your feedback. Thanks."
"I think you did a good job, but it was really rude to several of the candidates."
"Okay. Thank you. Thank you."
I was speechless. In retrospect, I would've said, "We don't come to your job and tell you how to weave artisan wall tapestries. Send a psychotic email like everyone else."
But I just stood there, silent and amazed this woman was willing to tell Melissa she was basically a bitch while the event was still going on. Mel had to get back on stage after this shit.
So Melissa runs off to go back onstage, and I stood in the lobby people watching and shooting the dreamweaver dirty looks. She had the audacity to smile at me! She looked right at me and smiled! And I just stared her down.
With that, another two middle-aged women walked up to me and said, "I just want you to know, this part that's going on right now is really boring. You shouldn't have done this."
"Oh." I said. "Okay, well I don't work here."
"I know." One of them said. "I just think you should know."
First of all, since when do we walk up to perfect strangers and complain about shit. I really hate that The Gap still sells capri pants. Am I shouting this from the sidewalk? And this "many people thought so" thing really chaps my hide. If you're going to tell someone they blow, speak for yourself.
Second of all, I am still reeling from the fact that the Condescending Lady who thought Melissa was condescending got away with it. I have seen Melissa dress people down and there is still a crater left in the Earth at the scenes of those tirades. Mel just took it from this broad and went back to work.
Melissa just didn't have time to, how shall I put this, make her regret her words.
In closing, I think it is incredibly lame that three middle-aged WOMEN came to a political event produced and moderated by young WOMEN and chose to criticize. I am guessing that none of them would have approached Phil Matier with these thoughts.
Although I would've liked to have seen that.
Anyway, chicks man...
PS: Truth be told, I met two really wonderful women last night who came to the forum just to meet me and Mel. So Tina and Jamie, you balanced out the mean broads. And then some!
