One of the best books I've ever read. It's changed my perspective on so much. The depth and layers of the writing is amazing.
I had a very hard time getting immersed in the story, possibly because I knew what was going to happen. It had moments of deep immersion, where I was totally lost in the book, and times where I had to force myself to focus on the reading. The very end was a surprise to me, and I was drawn in to it for that reason.
The story itself is a twist on an age old tale of castaways, however this twist is far more sinister. The transition from innocent to savage is somewhat gradual, and yet so predictable.
Human nature depicted in this dark light is always fascinating to me, and I found the story to be completely believable. It did not seem like something made up; rather, it was a story that could have truly happened to the author.
All in all, I was impressed with the concept, but found it very hard to really get into the story.
I discovered this book right after finishing my English literature class, which was a shame, as it would have fit perfectly in with the other books (it was the period of my growing interest in Dystopian literature, and I felt it would have been in its place with 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451).
However, even being too late to add it to my reading list (of course) didn't stop my from reading it! And I'm very glad I did, because I really enjoyed it (a lot more than I had expected).
These kids on this island (we never get to know them very well, but everything about them screams upper class - While reading I kept thinking they were from some private school somewhere). You'd thought that they would try to remain civilized, and at the beginning they really try to. But the shocking part of this book was (in my humble opinion) the fact that they loose civilization so fast after the structure of society broke down and they are feared. It left me feeling uncomfortable. The ending was a bit weird though, I'm not sure what to think of it...
I read this book first in high school but, thank goodness, on my own rather than for a class assignment. It's a pity when one's appreciation of a wonderful book is ruined by experiencing it as a chore. As a novel of ideas, it is brilliant and has always been a favorite, together with Huxley's Brave New World.
Critics usually cite Golding's Christian faith as a motivation for the book's being written, and to explain its pessimistic message that violent and sadistic impulses in our nature (i.e. original sin) will ultimately doom all civilization. I had no problem with this explanation at first. Golding was writing as a Christian: I was a Christian: therefore I accepted the alleged message, QED. Today I can't be thankful enough for the good fortune and privilege of having been raised largely in an historic branch of the church that neither dwells on original sin as often described, nor has any fondness for total depravity, penal substitutionary atonement, or other characteristically Calvinistic thinking, such as They Say inspired the author of Lord of the Flies. But in our childhood and teens, few of us are equipped to disentangle what our church actually teaches, let alone the range of what it allows us to believe, from the social soup of stereotypes, memes, and misinformation which we have absorbed by osmosis.
Only much later would I begin to distinguish certain externally imposed assumptions from all that my churchly experience had actually done to
instill or even promote. If the process never seriously compromised my appreciation for this novel, perhaps it was only because I didn't think much about it. But there was a lurking question: If the Ralphs and Piggys in the world, and all that they stand for, are just doomed, what's the point of fleeing to them or standing up for them? Put your faith in Christ as to the next world, sure, but meanwhile how shall we live in this one?
Then I chanced upon an article urging us to pay attention to the book's Greek symbolism, too. (I am very sorry that I cannot cite it.) Ralph is not good, but Apollonian. Jack is not evil, but Dionysian. Both poles are inherent to human nature and represented to various degrees in individuals. Things started to go wrong when Ralph, failing to appreciate this, insulted and tried to marginalize Jack, who in hunting for meat was meeting a genuine need, just as he declared. We, too, need our enthusiastic risk-takers as well as our clear-eyed keepers of the flame. To suggest the contrary is certainly un-Greek, probably unrealistic, and even arguably unChristian.
According to standard criticism, Ralph and Piggy are sympathetic characters partly because they are the best representatives of Christian values. I'm not convinced. Nor, I daresay, was William Stringfellow convinced, who saw very healthy theology in the death-defying bravado of circus performers. Paradoxically, the decline of Christian influence in contemporary Western society-- especially American-- has only left us increasingly risk-averse, clinging to quintessentially Apollonian developments such as political correctness, over-protective "helicopter" parenting, and the nanny state. How much more Ralph-and-Piggy-like can we get? A further paradox: just as the eventual chaos in Lord of the Flies implies, this swerve towards what may appear to be the less threatening side of an axis may actually be the greatest risk of all.
A planeload of British schoolboys crashes on a desert island in the Pacific during the early part of World War II. No adults survive the crash and the boys settle in to "have some fun" and await rescue once their parents realize what's happened. Ralph, one of the older boys at around 13, is voted the leader of the group (which includes young children as well - "littluns" and "biguns"). Ralph is aided by a nearsighted and overweight boy callously nicknamed Piggy, who suggests he blow a conch shell to gather everyone together. Initially they all agree on some rules, and most help out, but there soon becomes a division in the group as another boy, Jack Merridew, challenges Ralph's rules.
I was never assigned to read this in school and didn't really have much interest in it. All I'd heard was that it was a dark and disturbing tale, and something about the boys eating each other (they don't, though). But when my son was assigned it in school I thought I might read it, too, since he usually likes to discuss such things with me. And I'm glad I did - it was a fascinating story. (My son also loved it).
My two favorite books are Robinson Crusoe and Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island - both stories of castaways - and the thought of being on an island and the way they overcome the challenges always fascinated me. In both those stories the castaways build up a society of sorts (even though it's only one person in Crusoe's case) that prospers and flourishes. Lord of the Flies is quite the opposite, where the group degenerates into tribes with disastrous results.
But the characters add depth to the story, as well. Ralph, the natural leader, is so happy at the beginning that he stands on his head and sees it as a chance for fun, but recognizes the importance of building shelters and maintaining a signal fire. Piggy is the most intelligent boy, but is picked on by the others for his weight, glasses, and asthma. But he's the voice of reason and supports Ralph's leadership, and his glasses become essential for starting fires. Jack, on the other hand, while also a natural leader, soon grows to resent Ralph's authority and seeks a more blood-thirsty role for his group (of choirboys, ironically) as hunters. It's Jack's acceptance of violence that undermines the democratic order. But it's this idea of law and order that forms the basis for the book - without laws and rules society falls apart. When members fail to fill their role (such as keeping the fire going, or helping to build the shelters, etc.) it affects everyone - especially the most vulnerable (littluns). And without that order maintained by the rules, chaos results.
I listened to the audio book read by the author, William Golding, and he offers a few interesting observations at the beginning and the end. I found it to be a very well-written book and full of meaning on multiple levels. It might be a bit dark and disturbing, but it was also compelling and I couldn't stop till I was done. I highly recommend it for those who appreciate a book with some depth.
There is no blinking the fact that this English schoolmaster turned novelist understands growing boys to the heart; one must go back to"High Wind in Jamaica" to find a comparable tour de force. The uneasy conviction persists that he despises the child who is father to the man-and the man as well. Homo sapiens needs all the friends he can find these days, in and out of novels.
"Lord of the Flies" is an allegory on human society today, the novel's primary implication being that what we have come to call civilization is, at best, skin deep. With undertones of "1984" and "High Wind in Jamaica," this brilliant work is a frightening parody on man's return (in a few weeks) to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to return. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality. "Lord of the Flies" does. It must also be superbly written. It is.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0399501487, Mass Market Paperback)William Golding's classic tale about a group of English schoolboys who are plane-wrecked on a deserted island is just as chilling and relevant today as when it was first published in 1954. At first, the stranded boys cooperate, attempting to gather food, make shelters, and maintain signal fires. Overseeing their efforts are Ralph, "the boy with fair hair," and Piggy, Ralph's chubby, wisdom-dispensing sidekick whose thick spectacles come in handy for lighting fires. Although Ralph tries to impose order and delegate responsibility, there are many in their number who would rather swim, play, or hunt the island's wild pig population. Soon Ralph's rules are being ignored or challenged outright. His fiercest antagonist is Jack, the redheaded leader of the pig hunters, who manages to lure away many of the boys to join his band of painted savages. The situation deteriorates as the trappings of civilization continue to fall away, until Ralph discovers that instead of being hunters, he and Piggy have become the hunted: "He forgot his words, his hunger and thirst, and became fear; hopeless fear on flying feet." Golding's gripping novel explores the boundary between human reason and animal instinct, all on the brutal playing field of adolescent competition. --Jennifer Hubert

The classic tale of a group of English school boys who are left stranded on an unpopulated island, and who must confront not only the defects of their society but the defects of their own nature. Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic.… (more)

#6 - Django (1966) Sergio Corbucci - 1/7/2013
I don't know if I can say anything coherent about Django, I'm too caught up staring into Franco Nero's eyes (seriously, that man is soooo fine). The camera loves his eyes too, using them judiciously, withholding them until the most effective moments.
Django starts with an incredible image - the lone figure trudging across empty land, dragging a heavy coffin behind him, bringing death with him. That figure is an enigma, but the film gives just the right amount of information about him, at the right times.
The energy in the film is raw and explosive. There is a slow simmer that kept me intrigued. The villain is so bad, but not comically bad; rather, pure evil bad. A ballet of bullets, a Suspiria-like use of blood. More mud than in Deadwood.
Django has a killer theme song, familiar to those who have seen Django Unchained, plus an outstanding score, familiar to those who have seen Kill Bill. Interestingly, the musical motifs used for the Mexican revolutionaries reminded me of parts of the West Side Story score, making me wonder if Luis Bacalov was a Leonard Bernstein fan.
It also looked absolutely incredible on the big screen - the sheen of sweat, the expanses of mud, the texture of the hats, the color of Franco Nero's eyes (sorry). I will be ordering this Blu-ray posthaste.
#1 - Jack Reacher (2012) Christopher McQuarrie - 1/1/2013
In this movie, Werner Herzog tells a really cool true story about his own life.
It was great getting to watch a movie that so prominently features Pittsburgh while actually in Pittsburgh. Lots of murmurs from the crowd every time there was a new location, trying to place it. Loved the shots of the North Shore, Downtown, the Strip District, Polish Hill South Side Slopes, even Mario's (hah!). Driving through the tunnels and downtown has always terrified me, so that awesome chase scene was particularly effective.
Tom Cruise was totally a BAMF (as in Jules, not as in X-men universe). Not sure I love the character, but if they make another movie, I'll see it. The film looked great - loving shots of Pittsburgh, but also some interesting camerawork. I really liked the violation of the 180 degree rule for some reason. Majorly <3 David Oyelowo. Didn't care for Rosamund Pike as the world's most inappropriately dressed lawyer, channeling Lorraine Bracco in Hackers. A few groaners, but overall entertaining if not exactly super smart.
The idea that you do what's right, no matter what it takes…it's interesting, I've gotten totally hooked on Scandal recently (which you should absolutely watch, Kerry Washington is perfection), and it sort of deals with the same idea. but I prefer the more nuanced exploration of that concept on the show.

Sunset Grill
- j

If you are going to visit the Boston area than you have to visit Sunset Grill. They have awesome food and over 100 taps. You'll just love it.
I agree it is a great place. The food is surprisingly decent and rather inexpensive. They have this amazing spinach and artichoke dip with pita chips. Its probably one of the most fattening things on the menu, but its so worth the calories. I'm not a huge beer drinker, so i cant attest to the selection, but from what friends have told me, its pretty awesome. They make a great margarita however!
re: tomgaroo
i do agree with you there. while it may a good "local" spot, i totally would NOT recommend it to someone from out of town!
re: NiKoLe1625
Heck, I live three blocks away and I wouldn't even recommend it for locals!
Unfortunately out of those 100 taps, only about 6 are in good enough condition to drink - usually the last 6 they just put on tap. Ice cold, flat, and lifeless is no way to drink through life...
I love how every positive review of this place has to mention the number of beers - like that is some mark of quality or something.
Same old story with this place, goes downhill, they fix it for a while, get knowledgeable servers, rotate the beer at a quicker pace, then after awhile just turns back into the way it used to be. Short pours and high prices on less than 7%abv IPA's was the nail in the coffin for me.
re: LStaff
True about the taps being flat and nasty. I once went there eagerly looking forward to the draft selection, and (stupidly) ordering something off the wall, knowing it was rarely selected by customers. Result: flat, moldy yucky brew.
I love the idea of that many beers being on tap, but only if they move 'em!
It's not a bad place and neither is the Sunset Cantina, though the latter is more like a chain restaurant in feel. Despite the number of beers, it's not a real drinker's place, more of a gimmick and marketing device than real love of beer. It's not, in other words, like Publick House.
re: lergnom
Good to mention Publick House. A long time ago, in the dark days here, one could go to Sunset to find rare, imported beers. It is/was a novelty, and quality then did not matter so much; the alternatives were no good anyway (do you remember pre-Sam Adams days and so on?). But now I would not send a visitor to Sunset though I'd confidently send them to Publick House for great beer (no comment on the food). Other places as well, you don't need 100 on tap, just a place that serves good ones and perhaps your favorite or one you have not tried before.
I have to echo the majority of other posters regarding this place. The food has been nothing but mediocre - partially cold entrees, carelessly assembled plates, dry burgers. The neglected taps produce, as Ralphie in Boston says, moldy yucky pours.
The real concerning thing, not to be overly cynical, is when I see new Chowhound accounts post about a place with such 100% gusto and seemingly 0% objectivity. Though I'd never outright suggest it, I can't help but think there is something fishy with these posts.
Since we are on the subject, let's give a shout out to the Horseshoe Pub in Hudson, not for their average food but they have @80 well kept beers on tap.
Well everyone, thank you for your responses. I am an out of towner myself and I just love this place. I go to Boston a number of times a year and visit Sunset Grill just about everytime. The food has been great...not anywhere near mediocre. Yes sometimes you get flat beer but bars are much worse. I am a TRUE fan of the place and there is absolutetly nothing fishy about my post.
re: jessflex98
In that case, glad to hear you are a fan - that is what Chowhounding is all about, we try to respect everyone's opinion. :) Welcome!
re: jessflex98
Out of curiosity, what would you say is great there? I live very close to Sunset and want to like it but I've never had anything there which I would rush to eat again.
I'm well aware of the opinions on the taps but I've never had to send a beer back. As for food, I'd say it's bad to average at best. What should I try to change that opinion?
re: po_boy
The only food that is really great at Sunset are the nachos! In college, we used to head there as much as we could for a huge order of fiesta nachos. Delicious! Everything else though is sort of mediocre.
re: lmuller
Their beef ribs are were ok too. But I think I enjoyed them mostly because I haven't come across many (any?) places in Boston that served BBQ beef ribs.
re: Momeaux
I used to rave about Sunset foodwise for two things: the boneless buffalo wings and the burgers. I always thought the other food there was either overly ambitious or bland and/or not good quality.
First the wings: Generally, I'm not a boneless wing kind of gal because boneless often mean breaded chicken tender with hot sauce on it. Sunset's boneless wings are not breaded and the quality of the chicken tends to be juicy and tender and never too dry. I also like the sauce on them.
The burgers: For a long time I these were my favorite burgers in Boston (Best burger for your buck). For what you were getting the price was considerably less than what many other restaurants and bars were charging. This was partly because it didn't come with fries but since I don't always eat the fries it worked for me. I particularly liked the Vermonter (bacon and cheddar). Between 2000 -2007 Sunset and later Sunset Cantina were really consistent about not overcooking my burger (I like it medium rare). The meat was juicy, the bun sort of flaky and buttery but not as much as a brioche bun and the bacon nice and thick.
I was at the Cantina a couple months ago and got a really terrible burger and was VERY disappointed. It seems they changed the actually burger pattie. It used to be fresh and juicy and this one seem like a previously frozen hockey puck.
I told my co-worker about it and he claims you need to order the "Beer Steam Burger" to get the good one. I've never ordered it that way but then he went back and said it was delicious as always. I want to believe him but I haven't tried yet because I can't stand the thought of having another gross burger.
Agree with the others: they don't take care of their taps very well. I went on a craft beer crawl a few months back and enjoyed Deep Ellum and Publick House a lot more. For food, I've got to think there are better options including the aforementioned Publick House and Redbones.
As a side note, I'm not saying the post is or is not a schill... but if you want to look up the history of a poster, you can click on their username and see that jessflex98 has only posted (at least under that name) about Sunset.
My favorite food at Sunset is the french onion soup, the sweet potato fries with raspberry vinagarette and the nachos....the burgers aren't bad either...i also like thier brunch on Sunday's.
In reference to JoeM and Ralphie_in_Boston - yes these are my only two posts as I have just signed up at CHOW this week.
I'm going to Boston tonight for a wedding and i'll be visiting Sunset as usual.
re: jessflex98
Are you interested in recommendations of places with better food and drink?
While not my favorite place for craft beer, I say they generally do a good job. I've never had any way off tasting beers. A few times some beers don't turn over real fast, which will happen with this many taps unfortunately. They do usually serve in proper glassware though. Food wise the nachos are usually pretty solid. It's all decent pub fare.
I believe many beers geeks include this place in their list of must hit spots when in Boston.

For the past two days, much has been made* of the second-quarter sideline exchange/argument/tiff/spat/discussion/hissy/fight between the Kansas City Chiefs' once-Pro-Bowl quarterback and their once-Coach-of-the-Year runner-up. With about five minutes left in the half and the Chiefs trailing the also-winless Minnesota Vikings 7-3, Matt Cassel appeared to quickly bail out on a broken screen play. And Todd Haley appeared nonplussed about it, a sentiment he then appeared to share with his quarterback as the TV cameras zoomed in.
*When has this not been the case? We spend all day, every day, thinking, talking, and writing about what happens during three hours of game action once a week. Making much is what we do.
This fifteen seconds of infamy has been posted, reposted, played, and replayed dozens of times on the blogosphere since Sunday, without any real revelation as to what exactly took place.* All that we know—or so we've been told by others who are also making much of this—is that it seems like Cassel and the Chiefs were different, much more fired-up, after this one outburst of emotion. And they put together enough of a second-half effort to get their first win in 2011 (the year, not just the season).
*However, this clip does reveal a couple of interesting developments on the fashion front: First, Cassel manages to get his sideline hat onto his head properly in one single, swift motion. Considering recent history, a good sign! Also, after swinging way too far towards the lying-around-the-house-in-the-wife's-old-sweatshirt-on-laundry-day look two weeks ago and rebounding hard with a comfortable-yet-commanding dark fleece in San Diego, Haley seems to be splitting the difference now, with a gray-sweatsuit-and-dingy-old-hat ensemble that looks more like what you might wear working in the yard while listening to the game. We may need to start a Haley Style Watch to keep him in line.
Cassel himself would later thank his coach for the "open dialogue." But what was really said? It's not very easy to read lips, but here are a couple possible snippets…
Haley: Why did you give up on that play so quickly?
Cassel: Why didn't you call a better play?
Haley: I don't call the plays, remember?
Haley: You know field goals are worth three and we're down by four, right?
Cassel: You know pre-seasons are for getting us ready, right?
Haley: Wow, somebody really didn't want to throw a pick.
Cassel: I'm saving it for the end of the game.
Haley: You catch that new "Modern Family" this week?
Cassel: Yeah, great writing—and it's just nice to see Ed O'Neill distinguish himself like this after playing the chump for so many years on "Married…with Children." And that Sofia Vergara… Hola!
Haley: I hear you. Say no more.
Cassel: By the way…nice sweatsuit.
Haley: Thanks. Would you believe…half off?
Cassel: Really? No! Well, it "suits" you. Get it?
Haley: Yeah, it hides the paunch.
Cassel: (quietly) I wouldn't go that far.
Haley: What?
Cassel: Hey, field goal's good!
Haley: Huh? Oh. Nice.
Haley: I didn't realize you were on the "Suck for Luck" bandwagon, too.
Cassel: Come at me, bro.
Le'Ron McClain: Hey, hey, hey. As one of the team's very few, semi-high-profile free-agent acquisitions, I have to step in here and take advantage of this chance to "contribute."
Please keep in mind, I can't confirm that any of the above is 100% accurate. Lip-reading can be hard.
But whatever happened in this "fight" off the field, it was certainly nice to see the team put up more of a fight on the field. It's not enough, of course. A newly fired-up quarterback who can, well, consistently get us into field-goal range ain't gonna take this team much further (though it is nice to have a little more confidence that field-goal range may again result in field goals). The Chiefs are now 1-3—a record reset to 0-0 in any case according to Haley's obnoxious quarter system—and will bring their perfect-record-against-winless-teams into their game against the 0-4 Colts next Sunday. But after the last two games (and, it should be pointed out, two weeks in a row without any devastating injuries), it is clear that, contrary to my greatest fear, the Chiefs should be a team worth watching from here on out.
On the field and, sometimes, off.

Aircraft maker Hawker Beechcraft has requested more time to file a plan to emerge from bankruptcy.
The Wichita-based company wants to extend until at least Dec 29 the exclusivity period to file its Chapter 11 plan. Expiration of the exclusivity period allows creditors to file competing plans.
Hawker Beechcraft also wants until Feb. 27 to solicit acceptance of the plan from each debtor.
No objections to either request were filed ahead of a hearing Thursday in federal bankruptcy court in New York.
Hawker Beechcraft says it needs more time to pursue possible emergence from bankruptcy as a stand-alone company or through a third-party sale.
The company has noted the complexity of its bankruptcy, which involves 18 entities, 5,400 employees and $2.4 billion in debt.

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely studies the bugs in our moral code: the hidden reasons we think it's OK to cheat or steal (sometimes). Clever studies help make his point that we're predictably irrational — and can be influenced in ways we can't grasp.

According to TSN Insider Bob McKenzie, the Colorado Avalanche offered Paul Stastny a multi-year deal a couple of weeks ago. Talks are expected to resume soon as the two sides hope to come to an agreement before July 1, at which point Stastny would become an unrestricted free agent. Stastny has already stated that he loves playing in Denver and would be willing to accept a hometown discount to stay with the club. Stastny made $6.6 million last season. He scored 60 points in 71 regular season games and 10 points in seven postseason games.
Also, according to McKenzie, the Avs are shopping winger P.A. Parenteau. Parenteau has two years left on a $4 million per year deal that doesn't include a no trade clause. Parenteau battled injuries last season and only posted 33 points in 55 games. In the playoffs, he had three points in seven games. Parenteau's name came up during the past seasons NHL trade deadline, but the Avs held on to him.
Thoughts: It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks in Denver. I believe the Avs and Stastny will somehow get a deal done. Expect the numbers to come in around $5.5-6 million per year. With a complicated Ryan O'Reilly situation, which could see him traded this offseason, Stastny's value to the team only increases. As for Pareanteau, the writing appears to be on the wall there. It's a shame because he had a strong first season with the Avs (43 points in 48 games) but injuries really did him in last year and his defense is lacking. The Avs won't just give him away, but my guess is they'll look to make a "hockey trade" that also allows saves them money ala the Matt Cooke for Steve Downie deal.

The tight ends completed their workout at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier today, and it was an overall impressive performance from the group. Shortly after these players finished running the 40 yard dash, I posted a quick piece detailing how each of them fared.
I was most impressed with Texas Tech's Jace Amaro, although I will admit that I am biased towards him, because I have felt that he is the best prospect of the bunch (aside from Eric Ebron).
Here is a breakdown of how the top guys did in all of the workouts conducted in Indianapolis (this is from Mike Loyko, who has done an excellent job of charting each player's scores throughout the combine):
40 yard dash

Eric Ebron: 4.60

* required fields
By Ed Mass
The Honeywell Building, Toronto, Ontario, has 10 men's and 10 women's washrooms:
two on each 50,000-square-foot floorplate. Facilities feature a vanity countertop
with three counter-mounted soap dispensers that, in the past, were supplied
by under-counter 30-ounce soap vessels. The Day Porter and Day Matron have responsibility
for checking soap levels and refilling, usually twice a week. We estimate it
consumes approximately 5 percent of their time, kneeling down under the counter,
unscrewing the vessel, filling and replacing. Lastly, we know how our tenants
feel about soap availability; therefore, we're quite conscientious in this regard,
never running out of soap.
Let me also remark about the continuing residual of soap residing at the bottom
of the vessels that rarely gets pumped out. We believe this can be a source
of contamination, negatively altering the viscosity, scent, and freshness of
the product due to potential bacteria growth.
A New Approach
We pride ourselves on looking forward and trying new ideas. If we can improve
our service and reduce overall costs at the same time, it's a win-win. So, the
concept of a single soap cartridge, neatly housed under the vanity, providing
thousands of handwashes, was quite appealing. Not to mention two additional
benefits: the 2,000-handwash concealed reservoir and the compatibility of our
existing soap dispensers from the same manufacturer.
Pilot Mock-Up
At our request, the vendor equipped our two busiest washrooms with traffic volume
two to three times that of our average facility. We selected their phosphate-free
pink lotion soap, and ran the test for four months with remarkable, better-than-anticipated
results. Quite naturally, we then went forward and retrofitted all of our remaining
"Did you guys do something with our soap? We love it!"
We continue to receive many favorable comments from our tenants, all on an
unsolicited basis. They find the new soap appealing - not too heavy on the scent
or too gender-specific. They also like the viscosity and use terms like "clear
and clean." And, probably because the system is sealed, the product always
feels "fresh" and the dispensers "plentiful" and "filled
to the top."
The Benefit I Like the Most
Maintenance expenses continue to increase, with labor being one of the most
costly. Believe it or not, this new soap system has freed up more than 25 hours
a month between our Day Porter and Matron, allowing us to reallocate this time
to common area maintenance, both internally and externally. It seems that we
have introduced an improved product that has allowed us to reallocate our labor
focus to improve other areas of service.

Run United 2013
Run United Rallies Filipinos to be "Exceed Yourself" in 2013 Longer distances and focused approaches mark this year's run races
Mark your calendar runners, the 2013 Run United series is set to bring in more excitement and a lot of surprises to this year's running calendar. Unilab Active Health (ULAH) and RunRio Inc. promise longer distances that are big on fun and prizes, starting off with 2013 Run United 1on March 17 at the Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City.
Ever responsive to the runners' feedback, Unilab Active Health and RunRio are now focusing on longer distances to be in step with the requirements of progressive runners who want to better their personal records and outdo themselves in every race.
"We noticed a trend during the previous years' races that the slots for longer distances get filled up faster. There were instances when we had to open up more slots. So, by focusing on longer distances, we will be able to accommodate more runners," said Alex Panlilio, Head of Unilab Active Health.
Coach Rio dela Cruz added: "This is in line with our plan to be part of the growth and journey of Filipino runners. It just goes to prove that the local running community is more mature, that is why we also launched the Run United Philippine Marathon (RUPM) last year. Filipino runners have leveled up."
Thus, there will be no more 3km category in Run United, but it will retain the 500-meter dash for kids to make them start having an active lifestyle early on. The race categories for 2013 Run United 1 include 5km, 10km and 21km; for Run United 2 (10km, 21km, and 32km); and for Run United Philippine Marathon (10km, 21km and 42km).
If runners loved the singlets of previous Run United races, they would definitely rave about the improved singlets this year, which are made of new fabric designed to help improve the performance and comfort of the runners.
Better and useful items will still be part of the finishers' token. And the unique united medal will still be given away to encourage participants to complete the series. Of course, the Unilab Active Health villages will still be jampacked with activities and freebies for the participants and their families.
The complete Run United 2013 race schedules are as follows: Run United 1 on March 17, Run United 2 on June 2 and Run United Philippine Marathon on October 6. Prior to these, The Bull Runner Dream Marathon will kick off on February 24.
For triathletes, Tri United 1 2013 on March 10, 2013 and Tri United 2 2013 on July 7, 2013 both will be held in Playa Laiya, Batangas. Tri United 3 2013 on October 26-27, 2013 in Subic and the fourth and final leg of Tri United will be fired off in Ayala, Alabang on November 24, 2013. Moreover, Unilab Active Health Duathlon will be on September 8 at SCTEX, Clark, Pampanga.

Creating a brighter Christmas for a brighter tomorrow
This season of giving, Belgian bag brand Kipling joins forces with World Vision to bring "A Brighter Christmas For A Brighter Tomorrow," a program that aims to provide additional funds for the education of children under the care of the world renowned Christian development and advocacy organization.
According to the Benjamin Go, President of Greyhound Marketing Corporation, exclusive distributor of Kipling in the Philippines, the partnership is a timely effort to spread the fun and happiness that's instilled in every Kipling bag. "There is no greater joy this Christmas than knowing we have brought smiles to others, especially children. Through "A Brighter Christmas For A Brighter Tomorrow" program, we can make not only the holidays, but also the future, brighter for the children of World Vision."
"We are very delighted to have this partnership with Kipling, which is known globally for bringing fun and joy through its fashionable bags. Were happy that this time, Kipling has decided to reach out and bring the same kind of goodwill to ensure the education of children sponsored by World Vision," says National Resource Development Associate Director Jun Godornes.
Joining Kipling and World Vision in celebrating the launch of this meaningful endeavor are some of the country's biggest celebrities who are also extending their support to the program. These include Miriam Quiambao, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Kylie Padilla and Jessica Connelly.
Fashionable ladies on-the-go can also share in giving children a brighter tomorrow by shopping for a cause. For every Kipling bag or luggage purchased from December 1 to 31, 2012, Kipling will donate Php 500 to World Vision.
For its Holiday Collection, Kipling offers sporty and glam bags called Basic Elevated. These perfect everyday adventure companions come in stylish quilted exteriors, patent details, stunning linings, and 3 Christmas-themed colors red, white and black.
The Basic Elevated Collection includes New Elise that has a tablet-ready interior and can be worn 3 ways; Teagan S, a travel-savvy trolley with 2 compartments that are accessible from the topside; Weekend bag that can accommodate all your travel tidbits with its expandable bottom; and Creativity X a totally essential-ready cross-over bag.
"Kipling's Holiday Collection is a line eagerly awaited by our loyal customers, but this time, we'd like to enjoin them to share the blessings of the season by participating in this program. This is because with every purchase of any Kipling bag, our customers get to enjoy cutting-edge designs and fashion- forward pieces as well as help build a brighter tomorrow for the less privileged children," adds Millet Antonio, brand manager of Kipling in the Philippines.
Also helping raise awareness about Kipling's A Brighter Christmas For A Brighter Tomorrow With World Vision program are our ad agency The Sven Group and talent agency Vidanes Marketing.
Kipling is available online at zalora.com.ph and at SM Mall of Asia, SM North EDSA The Block, SM Megamall, SM Bacolod, SM Iloilo, SM Davao, SM Cebu, SM Lanang Premier, Robinsons Place Ermita, Rustan's Alabang Town Center, Rustan's Shangri-La, Rustan's Gateway, Rustan's Makati, Landmark Makati, Landmark TriNoma and soon-to-open Centrio Mall in Cagayan De Oro.

A rant about Grizzly Bear and writing with an audience in mind
There's a good profile of the band Grizzly Bear by Nitsuh Abebe with the headline-as-question: "Grizzly Bear Members Are Indie-Rock Royalty, But What Does That Buy Them in 2012?" Spoiler: not much. Everyone who's interested in making a living in the music business and what it means to be "big" in the indie scene should give it a read. (I was a little surprised how much their rundown read like Steve Albini's classic "some of your friends are already this fucked.")
What's truly strange to me is how divorced these guys seem to be from the old-school music notion of writing "a hit" — a song that moves units, yes, but also moves asses (and hearts) — while simultaneously being baffled by why their songs aren't played on the radio.
"I've always thought we write pop music," Ed Droste says. "I think songs of ours could be on the radio. They're not."
Having actually listened to their music (I'm in the "suffocatingly fuss[y]" camp), this is baffling to me.
Austin Kleon on Nitsuh Abebe's Grizzly Bear profile in New York magazine (featured yesterday on Longreads), and what it means to "write hits." Some additional background from Abebe here.
This Banksy quote from Cut It Out has been making the rounds:
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.
Compare to what ad man Howard Gossage was saying 50 years ago in "How To Look At Billboards," quoted in The Book of Gossage:
Outdoor advertising is peddling a commodity it does not own and without the owner's permission: your field of vision. Possibly you have never thought to consider your rights in the matter. Nations put the utmost importance on unintentional violations of their air space. The individual's air space is intentionally violated by billboards every day of the year.
But doesn't everything visible violate one's air space? Not at all. Visibility is not the only consideration. The Taj Mahal, street signs, the Golden Gate Bridge, a maze of telephone wires, even a garbage dump–however they may intrude on the eye–are not where they are merely to waylay your gaze; they have other functions as well. A billboard has no other function, it is there for the sole and express purpose of trespassing on your field of vision. Nor is it possible for you to escape; the billboard inflicts itself unbidden upon all but the blind or recluse. Is this not an invasion of privacy? I think it is, and I don't see that the fact that a billboard is out-of-doors make the slightest difference. Even if it were possible for you to not look at billboards if you didn't so choose, why in the world should you have to make the negative effort? Moreover, this invasion of your privacy is compounded in its resale to a third party. It is as though a Peeping Tom, on finding a nice window, were to sell peeps at two bits a head.
Thus we see that what the industry has to sell doesn't really belong to it. It belongs to you.

In a 2010 LA Times interview, Joni Mitchell said this about Bob Dylan:
Bob is not authentic at all. He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night and day, he and I.
There were a slew of "oh snap!" type articles posted after that (I only found one that questioned whether it was really an insult at all) and I quickly forgot about it, as Mitchell's claim was completely true—Dylan has always been an actor and a thief:
Steal a little, they throw you in jail
steal a lot they make you king
The question, of course, posed by the book Faking It: The Quest for Authenticity in Popular Music, is: Who cares? He's also made some of the greatest pop music of all time. 1
Then I started thinking: maybe Mitchell gave us something else in that quote ("we are like night and day, he and I")—maybe Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, two friends and peer songwriters, give us two models of the artist, or at least two ends of a spectrum: the artist who gleefully thieves and borrows influence and the artist who tries to avoid thievery at all all costs in the quest for personal authenticity.
Now, I really don't know that much about Joni Mitchell (I love some of the tracks off Blue, and I'm not all that knowledgeable about her output. (As opposed to Dylan, whose work I've studied and listened to endlessly…) But in Mitchell's 1979 interview w/ Cameron Crowe, I kept noticing how much she talked about her aversion to imitation and copying:
There's only a certain amount of fine work in any idiom. The rest of it is just copyists. Regurgitation. Obvious rip-offs. Mingus has a song, "If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats." Sometimes I find myself sharing this point of view. He figured you don't settle for anything else but uniqueness. The name of the game to him—and to me is to become a full individual. I remember a time when I was very flattered if somebody told me that I was as good as Peter, Paul and Mary. Or that I sounded like Judy Collins. Then one day I discovered I didn't want to be a second-rate anything.
She then mentions that the previous work that she doesn't care for is the work in which she doesn't feel that she was being herself. (Supposedly, David Crosby once said, "Joni Mitchell is about as modest as Mussolini.")
The things that I look back on and sort of shrug off, maybe in a weak moment grimace over {smiles}, are the parts when I see myself imitating something else. Affectations as opposed to style. It's very hard to be true to yourself….I find it now kind of irritating to listen to, in the same way that I find a lot of black affectations irritating. White singers sounding like they come from deep Georgia, you know? It always seems ridiculous to me. It always seemed to me that a great singer—now we're talking about excellence, not popularity—but a great singer would sing closer to his or her own speaking voice.
And yet, when Crowe asks about her reputation as a "confessional" songwriter (what Ry Cooder slagged off as "this white, middle-class introspective stuff—people elevating their neuroses to mythic heights") she responded:
I usually use "I" as the narrator in my songs, but not all the "I's" are me; they're characters. It's theater.
I don't have all that much in way of a conclusion here—I'm just riffing, collecting ideas. I guess I'll leave off with this quote by Bill Collins, that somehow didn't make its way into Steal Like An Artist, and yet nicely summarizes the first chapter:
…gradually you come under the right influences, picking and choosing, and being selective, and then maybe your voice is the combination of 6 or 8 other voices that you have managed to blend in such a way that nobody can recognize your sources. You can learn intimacy from Whitman, you can learn the dash from Emily Dickinson…you can pick a little bit from every writer and you combine them. This allows you to be authentic. That's one of the paradoxes of the writing life: that the way to originality is through imitation.
(Emphasis mine.)
UPDATE: wanted to include a paragraph on authenticity from this piece on Bob Dylan by John Roderick:
the idea of "authenticity" having anything to do with pop music is one of the bloodiest lies in modern history. Authenticity has NOTHING to do with pop music. That's a belief system propagated by German music writers and humorless teenage assholes. I've known a lot of musicians, and after a while you realize they're all authentic, all equally authentic. It's hard enough to write enjoyable songs without also trying to put over some scam on people. I guarantee that if you put Katy Perry and Leonard Cohen in the same room, they'd feel like members of the same tribe. It's only music fans who need to call one thing "real" and another "fake." What the fans treasure as honest and real is almost always just a question of taste. Either you like it or you don't—trite, but true.
Filed under: authenticity.
From a blog post by Scott Warmuth on the subject: "Joni Mitchell's comments regarding Dylan's authenticity brought to mind a 1939 Billboard article that Nick Tosches included in his book Country. It points out that, "synthetic hillbillies are as a rule more desirable in a night club than the real ones." The article begins with this wonderful passage: "Real hillbillies rarely have good night club acts, says Meyer Horowitz, who ought to know. Jewish and Italian hillbillies usually outshine all others on showmanship." ↩

Access "Storage Manager Profile"
This article is part of the Vol. 1 No. 9 November 2002 issue of Optimizing your enterprise database storage
NAS vs. SAN? Who Cares? When it comes to choosing a storage architecture, Joe Mayer, director of the technology center at managed service provider Access Data in Pittsburgh, PA, has the same philosophy as a lot of his peers: "SAN vs. NAS? Personally, I really don't care." What Mayer does care about though, is cost, availability and performance. These were the things he took into consideration last year when he set out to replace his direct- attached storage environment with a networked storage solution. Access Data, according to Mayer, had "a classic problem:" 3TB of disk space distributed across its servers, with only 300GB actually being used. One server, Mayer recalls, had four of its six disks completely unused. "When I asked the administrator why, he told me 'Dell was having a sale.'" Ultimately, Mayer purchased a SpinServer NAS server from newcomer Spinnaker Networks, which he selected for its HA features, and for the ease with which it allows him to expand his system. In its final form, AccessData will install a 4TB SpinServer, and a 1TB SpinServer at... Access >>>

Now that's funny, haiku. So, you are privy to some secret plan to build a new Howard school in the boondocks? Where exactly are the boondocks in the Howard zone? Fact: they were offered a new school building. Fact: they turned it down, preferring to stay in the toxic dump they're already in. Fact: The county has spent more than 20 million dollars on that old building since that time. Fact: At least two dozen other schools need 20 million just as bad, and haven't gotten a penny.

mechanisms; public health insurance consists primarily of the Medicaid and Medicare programs. For substance-use treatment, a larger majority (68 percent) of spending is on direct government grants and contracts with providers. The implication is that payments for substance-use services are most frequently allocated outside of markets. When private spending is also considered, approximately 56 percent of all payments for mental health care are made through insurance mechanisms, as opposed to out-of-pocket payments, grants, donations, and other sources of private financing. In contrast, only 27 percent of private payments for substance-use treatment flows through insurance arrangements. Again, this suggests a somewhat lesser impact of insurance market failure on substance-use care.
The implication of these figures is that choices about the level and composition of spending on M/SU health care are affected by a mix of market and political forces and that these forces differ for health care for mental and substance-use conditions. The willingness to pay for treatment for M/SU problems and illnesses is expressed through private markets for health insurance; political decisions about the design of public insurance; and the categorical program budgets of federal, state, and local agencies charged with providing such treatment.
Insurance for M/SU health care is governed by a distinctive set of arrangements. Although the proportion has been declining in recent years, most Americans (64 percent in 2002) under the age of 65 continue to receive health care through insurance provided by either their own employer or that of a family member (Fronstin, 2003). The terms under which individuals choose insurance and under which health plans compete to provide it are defined by organizations that purchase the insurance in the marketplace. Employers, state governments as administrators of Medicaid programs, and the federal government through the Medicare program all define the rules under which markets for health insurance operate.
Larger employers allow employees and their dependents to choose among a number of insurers and products (e.g., preferred provider organization, health maintenance organization) in competitive insurance markets. Smaller employers frequently offer only a single insurance plan to their employees. Some large employers focus special attention on M/SU coverage and spending. In these cases, employers separate the insurance risk for M/SU treatment from that for other health insurance, and create what have become known as managed behavioral health care organization (MBHO) carve-out contracts (Frank and McGuire, 2000). Under such circumstances, an employee has no choice of coverage for M/SU health care since the

Okay. This is getting there. The farmland's a little hinkey. Still need to number the town features...this is just a test to see if I like the legend and map title. Still no scale or rose. C&C welcomed.
I'm especially liking those fields. The logical bit of my brain always wonders why roads create "islands" by splitting when both paths go to the same place? Minor thing really, some Desire Lines do that I guess.
Or maybe there's a big rock and they went around both sides of it *shrugs*
Actually, yeah, I think they need to split and rejoin for a specific reason as well. It was my intention to put farms in between the splits. I'm still working on that. :)
Okay. I think I'm going to call this done. Not much more I can do with it. IG, hope your guys like it...it's not quite the in-game handout I had in mind but I think it turned out pretty well. If you want the PS file (so you can rename stuff or whatever) let me know and I'll get it to you. This is actually only 75% because 100% was too big for the board's attachment system.
Wowzers! That's awesome! Wish I could do stuff like that.
What font did you use for that? Have a link?
Thanks! I expect you're fully capable of making a map like this. One year ago I would have thought it beyond my abilities too. Lots of easy tricks picked up on here lead to some pretty amazing results.
The town name is Trajan Pro (one of my favorites). The other labels are Blackadder ITC. I'm honestly not sure where they came from but I'm going to guess they came with Photoshop CS4? I haven't installed many other fonts on my PC so they're came with Windows (7) or CS4. Sorry I can't be more help on them.
I believe you can get both of those fonts at dafont.com
