Frequent Flyer Benefits
Listen to Audio (right click to save)
Even with all the problems the airlines have, they've managed to keep something that's pretty valuable to those that fly a lot. It's those frequent flyer deals, and sometimes you can actually get a kind of a free pass to fly somewhere for nothing!
I got one of those coupons a while back, and it entitled me to an upgrade to a first class seat on a future flight. And that's a privilege that's really appreciated when I've got a lot of major work to get done. They even let me board before any other passengers. I got a lot of dirty looks, but it was nice. And that meant I could get right to work on the plane instead of standing in line.
Now you could be saying, "Well, aren't you special?" Well listen, there's nothing special about me that gets me these special privileges, except that when you're a frequent flyer on this airline, they give this kind of reward to anyone who flies a lot and does it consistently with them. See, the airlines want to train us to think one simple thought, customer loyalty pays off!
what. He has some wonderful blessings, some unspeakable joy, and some tremendous rewards for you if you'll stay faithful for a few more miles. In the words of Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
The best rewards Jesus has to give are for those who fly faithfully with Him through it all.
Learn how to begin a personal, love-relationship with the God who made you.

He's a weirdo. I've always been a Screeching Weasel fan. They asked us to put out a new record. Sure, why the hell not? We used to put out their old records. As far as business goes, we've always had a good relationship with them. We sold a bunch of their records, we paid them, they were always happy with us, so they wanted to come back because we were the only label that never screwed them over. It was all fine and good, but I'm definitely not friends with Ben Weasel. In fact, I went to see them in L.A. and I went there early to say hi before the show, and they wouldn't let us backstage. They wouldn't let us fucking backstage because they were praying or whatever. They needed alone time before the show. So I don't know. Oh, I'm mistaken. After the show he did say hi for a few minutes, and that was the first time I talked to him in ten years.Would you put out another Screeching Weasel record because you like the band?No. Definitely no. The thing is, when we got them for the new record we also bought all their old records. So we may be putting out their old records still, but I have no interest in doing anything with them now.So you mentioned earlier that NOFX isn't working on a new album yet, but there obviously still will be more new NOFX albums. How do you keep writing new material and do you ever feel like you've run out of songs?Yeah, I feel like that every day, that I've run out of ideas, but somehow I manage to come up with new ideas. I have been working on other shit.With that in mind, what does a day in your life look like in terms of a working day?[laughs] Today I woke up and drove my daughter to school at 7:30. Came back, had some tea. I'm working on a project with my girlfriend. We're writing a story for something together. I worked on that for an hour, then I did an interview and had this other interview. After this interview I go to Fat Wreck Chords because we're making some t-shirts and we have a meeting about our hardcore seven-inch. But I only go to work for maybe two or three hours a week. After that I'm going to the salon to dye my hair because I have a tour starting soon. Tonight I pick up my daughter at 5:30 from piano class and we're going bowling because we need to practice for Punk Rock Bowling.So you're busy with a lot of projects.Yeah. And I also produce too. I've been helping the Cobra Skulls out a bit with their record. I'm producing Old Man Markley later this year.My last question would be, at this point, what would it take for NOFX to be done?To be done? Fuck, we have way too much fun to be done dude. I always looked at it like when Bad Religion quits we still have another three or four years because that's how much older than us they are. The thing is, you don't just quit. Jack Nicholson doesn't quit acting. You don't quit when everything's good and fun. What are you supposed to do, stay at home? We're travelling the world with our best friends having the time of our lives. It's not like it gets old, it keeps getting more fun.If that's the case, then why do so many younger punk bands just put out a few small releases and break up just as they're finding their footing?It's not like that. Bands start and if they're good they do okay for a while and then people get bored of them and they quit because things aren't as good as they used to be. It took us eight years before anyone liked us, and kids do not have the attention spans that we used to have, and they don't have the fucking work ethic either. They want everything to happen. Bands want to get big. "Hey we're gonna start a band to get big." And if it doesn't happen they fucking quit because they're not lifers. The eight years no one liked us we kept doing it because we're alcoholics and we just did it because it was fun. We're punk rockers. Nowadays they don't think about it like that. They think about making it, they don't think about doing it because they love it.Does that mean even if you lost everything you'd keep doing NOFX because it's fun?Well yeah, but it's not going to be fun for me if we can't afford a bus. If I have to fucking drive across Canada in a van, I'm not going to do it. But, you know, in some places our crowds aren't as big as they used to be and in some places they're bigger. The ebbs and flows of that, that's fine. But I still think we put out decent records and we're still popular in most places we go in the world. Last time we played in Rio, there were only 1,800 people. The time before that there were 5,000. But it's like, who cares, it's still 1,800 people! It's still awesome. But you know, if it gets down to 100 people then there's a problem.Is there anything else you wanted to add?I was gonna say something about how I made the list of the biggest meltdowns. (http://exclaim.ca/News/listing_em_off_10_insane_onstage_meltdowns) Just so your readers know, I had that planned for a month and I did do a secret performance of that a few days before that. I played in front of seven people in San Francisco. So I knew exactly what I was doing. There was no meltdown. It was pure performance. That's what I was doing.You totally got the last laugh then. Where did you get the idea for that, and were you exorcising personal demons up there or was it all personal?No, it's all true stories. But Vanessa, my publicist at Fat Wreck Chords, was like "can you do something at SXSW? Can you play acoustic?" I said okay. I was just thinking about it and I decided I didn't want to just play acoustic songs, I wanted to do something memorable. So I went up there and told the most horrific stories of my life. They weren't all the most horrific, some of them were kind of funny. But I told some of the most horrific and some shocking stories. But they're all true.The people you did it for in San Francisco, did they know it was just a practice run?Yeah. It was just friends of mine. I said I'm going to do this and I want to do the whole show in front of some people and see if I can do it and how it works. After that show they were just as shocked as the people at SXSW. They were like "no fucking shit! Really?" Even people that were close to me, they knew some of those stories but they didn't know all of the stories. « Page 2 GET IT!

Kim Kardashian is NOT the mystery buyer trying to yank her infamous sex tape off the market -- this according to Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch, the man who currently owns the tape.
Hirsch tells TMZ, he still doesn't know who the mystery buyer is -- but a rep for the interested party insists ... it ain't Kim ... or anyone even remotely associated with Kim.
Steve tells us, "It made sense the entire time it would be Kim, but it appears it's not."
According to Steve, the buyer will reveal his identity if the deal gets done -- and explain once and for all why he/she wants to pull the tape from the market.
Steve says he met with the buyer's rep several times in the last week -- but the buyer's still several million dollars short of Hirsch's $30 million asking price.
A source close to Kim tells us, Kim NEVER had anything to do with the deal -- but she's very curious about who's behind it ... and why someone she doesn't know would want to do her such a huge favor.
Its clear someone in Kim's camp is the one that keeps bringing this up because nobody cares about this stupid, lame sex tape anymore and the idiot who would be spending $30 million on it is about 4 years late on buying it. The thing has been out for 4 years now so its already out there for anyone who really wanted to find it.
The only reason someone would buy the rights is to resell it and they aren't going to make $30 million in profits on a 4 year old tape.
And i don't believe for a second some "random" person cares about Kim so much they'd be willing to spend $30 million to take it off the market.
Its publicity and we know what publicity whores that whole family is. Now that the wedding is over nobody gives a crap about them, Kris Jenner needs to find new ways to get her family attention. I even saw somewhere where she's telling all 3 of them (Kim, Kourtney, Khloe) to get pregnant at the same time.
tmz loves shoving this b!@#$ down our throats,enough already!
who cares.
Wow this is a stupid story. You can't remove ANYTHING off the internet once it's viral online. This is 30 million dollars that can go to something productive, Not delete a video that's already all over the web.
Seriously, Kim, you posed naked for Playboy at your mother's urging. Heck, maybe she bought the tape and plans to make even more money off you.
C'mon people, they don't spend money on anything. The entire Kardashian wedding was paid for by E! Why would they pay for the tape they still make money off of.
This tape has been downloaded for free for years.
this skank is the culprit to get rid of this video. She thinks she's a celebrity and want that infamous video out of site and mind....news flash tramp, that tape is the only reason why peeps iven acknowledge you....dirty,sale your soul to the devil....whore...that is all
I have seen it all. I keep wondering who on earth would idolize this half-ape porn tape making famewhoring worthless POS. I got my answer and it was disturbing. Another POS worthless piece of trash from the jersey shore show DJ'd for her Dash store and the street was packed with screaming hormonal (mostly) girls. America? Look at what a lot of your young impressional youth is idolizing. IDOLIZING!! No wonder other countries make a mockery of us if this is what they see of the next generation. We're freaking doomed.
Seriously, who cares? It doesn't matter.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa stop the clock.
As soon as the "wedding of the century" for "american royalty" (were they seriously spinning it like that?) it seems that fat sausage mama Kardashian needed to hype up a bit more publicity so the sex tape story wa*****ched. I can't wait until this whore's STDs catch up with her and she has to pay the piper. I'm sure her husband now has HPV and herpes.
No one cares,,,,,really.
It is the Nets owner buying the tape as a present for Kris.
its me

Which of the following goals is most important to you?
Although the reason I am going to school is because I want to make money, I want to make money so I can support my little brother so that he may also go to college. At the end of the day material goods dont matter-- yes its nice to have a mansion, yet whats the point of having one if you cant fill with the people you care about. In other words, I would rather have a broken laptop then a broken friendship. Yet I understand people whose prime motivation is money. As a wise men once said, money cant buy happiness, but I would rather cry in a Ferrari
My most important goal is to
My most important goal is to lead a life that is filled with purpose and love for others. I think to achieve this goal, I'll need some combination of all the options, but in varying amounts. For instance, having a lot money would certainly make life much easier but isn't necessary (I'm not saying money isn't necessary because it is in our economy, but that having a lot of it isn't necessary). Also, what do others think "a good job" is? For me, having a good job means that you're financially stable and mentally and emotionally fulfilled by it. If I were to have a job that paid me a ton of money, but didn't give me any purpose or fulfillment, I would say that I have a bad job. I suppose that out of the named options, love/family would be the most important to me. If I achieved all the others but had no love, family, or friends in my life, I would be very depressed and not value my life. That's not to say that the other options are worthless - they're not. They're all valuable, but for my life they are useless without love and purpose.
My vote was for being
My vote was for being educated. I define education as awareness and understanding- not just degrees and textbooks. This definition encompasses both experience and instruction. Without engaging with your surroundings, the other options (which were primarily materialistic) do not serve much of a purpose. Being unengaged and unaware means you cannot fully appreciate those choices of jobs or family or at least not as profoundly as if you were engaged and aware.
I voted Love/Family
I voted love/family because at the end of the day the people you're going to go to are going to be your friends and family. No matter how close I get to a professor, there isn't going to exist the same bond that I can have between myself and a friend.
Love/family is the my most
Love/family is the my most important goal. When I am around people that I love I feel most complete and the happiest. Loving that much completely erases any need for material gain whether as money or goods. Although I value education, it has never been my most important goal and probably never will be, purely because I believe I can learn obtain happiness through love and family even if I never went to college at all. I think the way the question was phrased made a big decision in my answer. Even though it reads whats most important to you? I saw it what is important is happiness, and which of these answers will ultimately find me the most rewarding sense of happiness in my life.
I voted other because...
my highest priority is to be as fully present as possible in and for all of those aspects of life--love and family, education and work, including those things that can be bought with money.
To be educated and why
I feel education means something really special to me so I choose to be educated.
On the one hand, "To be educated" is not narrowly defined as getting a diploma or going to college: I integrate the process of learning inside it, that's to say, everything I have learned in those 18yrs. In this way, the education I obtained is actually a part of me. Well-educated people normally get good jobs and some of them can make a lot of money through it. Meanwhile, since well-educated people normally are considerate and conscious, which means they deserve the love from others. Most importantly, one can't be educated without having a nice family since parents are usually the first teachers of each kid. In this way, I think "to be educated" is very important to me, not only because it can guarantee many things but also it is such a significant portion of an individual. On the other hand, education shapes one's thoughts as well as one's perspective toward the world. I feel like education can help me become a better thinker in a way that I starts to fully appreciate things around me, even teach me how to love and be loved.
My most important goal is to
My most important goal is to live a happy, unselfish and purposeful life. For me having the love of a family is not a goal i hope to attain, because i have always enjoyed the love and support of a large network of family and friends. If the poll meant starting my own family, then that's a goal, but not my most important as matrimony is not a guarantee for happiness and child rearing is a 21 year project that could turn either turn out well or awry even with a parent's best effort.
I am not particularly interested in making Forbes millionaire or billionaire list. I just want to live a comfortable existence, have a fulfilling job that gives me enough money to cater to my needs and express my love to my family, but also gives me time to savor life to the full. It can be taken for granted that if one has a good job, then one is making enough to make ends meet. So option A can be viewed as a part of option C. Yet, I need some form of education, formal or informal to get option C. In fact, It is hard to explicitly define what it means to be educated. A number of people feel that to be really educated you have to attain the peak of the academic ladder, but at this moment, i have not the slightest desire to keep climbing that ladder after Bryn Mawr. Education is a means to an end, not the end itself and I have so many other things on my bucket list. Therefore, because of its open-ended nature, i could not go for option B.
Since these goals are kinda intertwined and are all useful in varying degrees to achieving my most important goal - attaining happiness/self fulfillment, i decided to go with 'other'.
Very Similar Responses!
We have very similar responses to this post, so it seems fitting that I post mine with yours. I really agree with the idea that not only are all of these goals intertwined with one another, they are also very tied to happiness. I wrote a lot about this as well (see below).
I chose the "other" option for this poll because I feel that being happy is my most important goal in life and that this encompasses a majority of the other options. I feel that if I am living my life with purpose, pursuing that which I enjoy doing, and living my life to the fullest, focusing on the happiness of all of the good moments, the other options - having a good job, having love and family and being educated - will naturally follow. For example, if I choose a career that makes me happy and that I enjoy doing, I would call this "having a good job."
It may be noticed, however, that I have excluded the option of "having money" from the list of things that will follow from living my life with the goal of happiness in mind. This is because I truly believe that money will not make me happy. I understand the concept of financial security and how important that is, but it is most definitely not the most important thing in life for me and I know that no matter how much money I have, it will never be the thing to give me happiness. I need to pursue happiness for myself and not assume that it will be handed to me with a paycheck. And thus I have made my goal in life to be happy, and I assume, albeit naively or idealistically, that by living positively, selflessly, happily and by pursing what makes me happy, the other necessities of life will naturally follow.

I chose love/family, because, although I don't think that getting married and having babies should be a woman's only goal in life, I do think that it's important. Of course I want to get educated and get a job before I settle down--that's why I'm here, at Bryn Mawr. But I think it's actually sort of anti-feminist to say that a woman can't want to find love or dedicate time to raising children if she's serious about her work. Yes, work can be very satisfying, for both men and women, and it is very important to me to get into doing something I love (hopefully journalism!). But if I attain my dream career, I want to be able to share my happiness with someone. It's hokey, and it's been said too many times before, but happiness means much more if you have someone to share it with. It's not only a husband or children that I would want, but I love talking to my mom, my sister, my cousin, etc. I want to get an education, a job, make money, all of that. But, when I really think about it, I'd rather continue to have a great relationship with the family I already have (and with one I might create some day) if I really had to choose. That said, I don't think we necessarily do!
This question was very difficult to answer because I feel as though all of the options were equally acceptable answers. I think what's important to note is that there is no correct answer to this poll. If I could, I would've voted more than once. I think my impulse answer was to choose "to be educated" was the most important goal to me—but then as I continued to think about it, I realized that without the love and support of my family I would not be where I am today. I think that all of the options are connected. However, I strongly believe that love/family is the basis of reaching other goals such as "to have money", "to be educated", and "to have a good job." I think that the love we get from our families is what gets us to become educated. Once we're educated then we can get a good job and make money. But for example, money can't buy you love or a family and life itself is a learning process. We educate ourselves everyday by just living. My family is the reason why I work so hard; they are the most important part of my life. Without the love of my family I would be so lost.
I chose love/family. As I've
I chose love/family. As I've said in a previous posting, I am devoted to my mother, whose sacrifices have made me who I am today and gave me the opportunities that I've had. If it weren't for her, I probably would really care about going to college and I certainly wouldn't care about making money or what job I had. She is my motivation - it is because of her that I can drag myself out of my occasional moodiness and continue doing what I know I must do. My ultimate goal in life is to repay her by any means possible.
I am not good at choosing.
I am not good at choosing. Sometime I have to admit that I am afraid of choosing. To have money, to have a good job, and love and family, all these are really important for me! I think actually the most important goal for me, is trying to make ourselves be happy, and also to make the people around me be happy. I know if I want to achieve this goal, I need to be educated, I need to have a good job, I need to have decent amount of money for my life, and of course I need to be loved and give my love to other people. Actually these four choices intertwine with each other in a way. Let's start with the first one: to have money. Money Matters for me, a lot. I need money to be educated. I know that without money, I wouldn't have been able to study abroad here in the States. I not only want to be educated, but also want to be better educated, to be competitive enough to find a great job after graduating. What is a good job? Different people have different definitions for it. For me, I think a good job can make me gain a sense of accomplishment, both from the salary and from the whole working process. With a good job, I will able to be financially stable then providing myself and my family a good quality of life. At different stages of my life, I have different important goals to achieve. It is really hard to say what the most important goal is for me, if I have to, I would say, happiness.
I originally selected the
I originally selected the "other" option, and planned to come in and write an explanation later. At the time, I felt like none of these things were more important to me than the other.
I'm not so sure now though.
Now, I think I may have just been avoiding saying that the most important goal for me, right now, is love/family. This is not to say that I don't want all the other things on the list, but to say that the driving force behind all of the work I am doing, and all the things I have given up to be here, is my desire to be able to marry my partner and expand my family.
At the risk of being cheesy: I would not be typing this as a 32 year old college student if was not for the support of my family and my partner. I know this may seem obvious, because who doesn't need support as they go through college. However, the odd thing about the way my family has affected my trajectory is that it was their support that allowed me to quit school when I was traditional student aged. Without knowing that they were going to accept me no matter what I did, I never would have taken many of the risks I took, including moving to the middle of the country for a while. Similarly, without knowing that they, and now my partner, will still love and respect me even if I fail, I never would have quit my jobs to go back to school at this point in my life. So, I guess, if I had to pick one goal for my life, it would be to do whatever it takes to keep that love and support going, so that I can pass it along to my own someday children.
I went against [what I've
I went against [what I've witnessed as] the Bryn Mawr grain and chose love/family. I found that the other choices were very individual: they would mostly contribute to an individual feeling of happiness and success. But for me, love and family goes beyond myself. My own accomplishments wouldn't be nearly as sweet as if I didn't have someone to come home to and share them with. And by having a family already in place, the money, education and job can affect and inspire more people than just yourself.
I am a people person, and I can't imagine being here at Bryn Mawr if I wasn't fortunate enough to have parents who put all of there energy into raising and loving their children. After experiencing the power of prioritizing love and family through my parents, I feel that it would be selfish and a little silly for me to choose anything else.
Freckles, I think we are
Freckles, I think we are similar parents. And I would say that my parents raise me carefully but they didn't put all their energy into it. I feel like culture capital is something really matters in my experience.
My Life Goals
I chose other because for me getting an education and being apart of a family are equally important. The reason these to goals stuck out to me is most likely because my family is still a very big part of my life and since I am currently in college education is an important goal in my life. Though, I did not pick money, in the back of my head I see finishing my education as a way for me to get a decent job and make a comfortable living.
Switching Up My Priorities?
I was actually super annoyed that there wasn't a "Both A and C" or "All of the above" option for those of us who are notoriously indecisive. I suppose I could've picked other and said that, but that feels like I'm beating around the bush. I picked "To have a good job" as my most important goal. I think the wording of the question screwed me up a little bit. Yes, I have a family and I love them dearly, but is the poll asking me if I think finding a husband and having children of my own is my most important goal right now? Heck no, I'm only a college student! I don't know! And while family will always be an important aspect of my life, I think a lot of these options were intertwined when I contemplated my decision. I need to be educated to have a good job. If I get a good job, let's hope I make good money. And when I'm financially stable, maybe I'll think about settling down. But this poll really made me think about what my priorities are. Maybe I'm that naive college student who thinks she's going to save the world and work for a non-profit organization and that'd be a good job to me, but what will that get me? A bed and some food, at best. Sometimes we have to compromise our passions and interests for what's actually going to get us by. Talk about a reality check... But who's to say I can't say all of the above besides the poll?
I was also frustrated by the
I was also frustrated by the wording and the lack of options. I wanted to be able to say that love and education and career were equally important to me, but that wasn't available. I ended up picking love/family because I decided that I value my relationships with others and my interactions with friends and family more than anything else. I guess the reason I had trouble picking, though, was because I didn't want picking one to mean that I didn't value the other options. I still really value my education – and I can't think of starting a family before I'm confident that I've explored all the educational paths that I want to. I also want a steady career – that I love – before I settle.
I am struggling with the
I am struggling with the wording too. First, I think everything in my life matters: while I choose "to be educated," I don't mean that I don't like or value my parents/ family. Meanwhile, I am not quite sure about whether to choose something that I've already had, or something will happen without any doubts.
In the poll I voted "to be
In the poll I voted "to be educated" as the most important goal. I based my decision on the goal that is most important to me now. Money is not as important to me because I know after college I won't have much. Getting a job is not very important right now because I am freshman that wants to worry about her education. My goal of being educated will eventually lead me to my other goals of having a good job and hopefully with that good job, some money, though it does not directly lead me to love and family. The dictionary defines a goal as the result or achievement toward which effort is directed. Through this definition I achieved my goal of love and family. I have a family at home that supports my education and supports my dreams. Their love helps me accomplish my goal of being educated because I know that they believe in my dreams. It is through the accomplishment of this goal that I am able to make education my most important goal right now.
I don't want to vote for any certain categories
It's impossible for me to decide what's the most important goal for me right now. To have money, to be educated, to support our families are equally important to me. I do love my family so much. That's why I am very cautious and responsible with every decision I made in my life. I try to make my parents proud. However, I am not the kind of daughter who sacrifies everything to my mom and my dad. I want to pursue my dreams, I want to overcome the restrictions that family ties create, I want to marry the one I like. I know that I have my own life. Money may be not the thing I am fixated about, but I do recognize that money helps me struggle to survive. It know it would be hard to survive in the US. But I think it's much harder to struggle to survive in an underdeveloped country like Vietnam. How can you have time to think about noble purposes, about romantic love, about charity, about your passion with learning when you don't have enough food to eat, don't have money to pay for your hospital fees? Some people may, but in most cases, it would be impossible. Without money, I can't pay for my dad's medicine or afford my younger brother's tuition fees in college. Without money, how can I help other people in the society? It is would be hard to help other people when you can't even help yourselves. Being educated is also another goal in my life. Learning and thinking make my life become much more interesting. It allows me to know more about the world, improve my thinking process and mke me feel like I am smarter than I was yesterday. Knowledge is also a way which I can connect to people.Theodore Roosevelt could talk to people from different backgrounds because he was a knowledgeable man. He could talk to a farmer about farming or to a stranger about train. However, unlike some people, I go to college not only to find myself. It is very important but I do take something else into consideration. Besides studying what I like, I want to choose a practical major so I can get a good job after I graduate to support my family.
Although I believed that in choosing education and money one can give back to one's family and contribute to one's self achievement, I also realized that there is a certain amount of loss within one's relationships that goes with committing to education and money that is not worth the sacrifice. Education and money can alienate individuals from their loved ones. In a story we read in class called "The Achievement of Desire" by Richard Rodriguez, he described that in prioritizing school, he ended up distancing himself away from his family because they weren't as educated and could not understand or relate to his new way of thinking. In turn, they're relationship developed into an awkward power dynamic between the educated and not educated rather than a comforting familial relationship in which both would be able to freely communicate on the same level which ended up being detrimental to their relationship. Likewise, in our summer reading book Class Matters, there was also a story in which a woman transitioned from being in a low-income family to foster care with a wealthier family. After transitioning, she was unable to feel comfortable about her life because she grew up with a "human capital", the knowledge associated with one's class, and thus, mindset far different from those of her wealthier classmates and peers which in this sense, made her feel alienated. Now, although these experiences may not be applicable to every relationship, imagining myself in this role of having to choose one or the other helped me recognize the importance of family/love above all else.
In the end, the whole process of choosing made me question if there were really benefits to maintaing one's social class: do we really want social mobility? Is giving up the feeling of one's relationships and comfortability within a group comprised of people like ourselves worth sacrificing money and education for?
James Brown
I think it important to have a good job because if you want to start a family and support them you need a good job.
I realized that I HATE
I realized that I HATE polls--the either/or-ness of the categories never! work! for! me!
Freud said that "Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness."
I think that's true, and so I really can't choose between them.
My work is teaching, and to do that I needed to be educated. The money doesn't matter so much.
But then I have always had other sources of money (besides what I earn myself),
so I'm hardly qualified to say that it doesn't matter...
In other words, I picked "other" as a way of saying "all of the above".... ;)
I chose education. I believe
I chose education. I believe that you can be more successful because with education you can get a good job where you have a chance to make more money and your family will always be there to love you.
This is an interesting take.
This is an interesting take. I hadn't thought about it that way, that if you already have a family who loves you, you can pursue other dreams without fear that you will lose them. I like this idea, because it supports my hope that you don't really need to choose between all of these important things--sometimes you can have more than one. Education is really important to me, too, and I think that, as you describe your family, mine will be there to support me throughout my attaining it.
I choose Other.
I choose this because none of these have a higher standing in my opinion. I would enjoy to choose all if I had the option. I don't want to say that my job or money has a higher standing than my family, because then that would define me as someone whom only cares for himself, selfish. I know that all have a purpose in life but in reality if you had the Option to choose between the four with all of them lined up, What will you choose
I selected love/family
I selected love/family because you can have all the money in the world, but with all that money you cant buy real love and family. You can have bought love and bought families but never the real thing. At the end of the day you and your money will be all you have.
i think that everyone who
i think that everyone who pick to have money will not the it. family comes 1st then love then education and the a job
I believe money is everything, the world moves around money. You buy your education with money, when you have a good job you make good money.
What about happiness and
What about happiness and love?
I think you might argue that people will automatically love you, or pretend that they like you simply because your money are beneficial for them. However, its money, not you. And I think one's life would be nothing if there is just money and nothing else. Meanwhile, thinking about why particular person has a huge amount of money. It's not something happens randomly to someone. People are rich because of many reasons, which is actually more important than money itself.
Reply to "Money"
And if my dream job doesn't pay me the big bucks, do I still get to call it a "good job"? What if you despised your job and your boss but you made a ton of money? Does that still count as a "good job"?
It depends on the person.
It depends on the person. Someone who values waking up and getting excited about work would not consider this a "good job". I think society teaches us all that we need to value money. I think it's funny when parents tell their kids to follow their dreams and then when the parents realize the kids dream doesn't make them "successful" they discourage them.
I was surprise that no one
I was surprise that no one picked to be educated or to have a good job.
I chose money because you can
I chose money because you can do anything with money and with money more options open up to you.
Rosa Parks
I think that making money is very important. The life we live in today has everything to do with money. You need clothes, that means you need money. You need a house, that means you need money. If you want to have a child, that definitely cost money. Money is extremely important in the world we live in today.
i think family is really
i think family is really important because after all the money is gone you will have family to be there for.
I agree completly that
I agree completly that without family nothing is really worth it. I never appreciated my family until I moved away to college. Now I call my mom multiple times a week just to tell her how much I love her. Living away from home has taught me how much family is such a large part of my life.
Poll Question (Aretha Franklin)
I picked other because I have 3 goals that are important to me To have money, to be well educated, and to have a job that I love.
I think that education is the
I think that education is the most important goal for me because in order for you to succeed in life you need to have a good education.This can take you a long way in life a road to riches , success and everything you may want in life.
I rather be educated
I rather be educated because because everything else will fall into place eventually, but I rather be educated. Education will allow me to do what I love, whether or not I am rich or not it will make me get out of bed every morning.
Regarding Purpose...
This whole idea of purpose is one that I began to think about in high school, and have been thinking even more about recently. The more I have thought about it, the less distinct becomes the line between having purpose and being happy. When it comes to finding what you want in life, aren't they the same thing? Having purpose not only motivates you, but also inspires you and brings you joy. Aren't these the same as freedom? Having money will undoubtedly enable you to fulfill whatever your "purpose" may be (and who's to say you only have one purpose?); but purpose, I believe, is the free force that drives your goals. Would you agree that money is an aside to the freedom that purpose creates?

J. and K. square off over House Theatre's theatrical in-joke adaptation of "Moby Dick." Is the critic in the white suit Tom Wolfe, or the White Whale, or Chris Jones, or what? Plus, Jonathan talks about the big changes coming to Steppenwolf.
Two great productions (at Oracle & Steep), two good ones and the one at the Goodman
K. sez:
Jonathan's in Japan en route to China, leaving me alone to drown in a sea of openings. A quick summation in baseball terms: two runs, two hits, one left on base.
The home runs
The Vandal at Steep Theatre is the Midwest premiere of Hamish Linklater's first full-length play. It's a debut any writer would envy. In a series of brief naturalistic scenes and with only three characters—a teenager, his father, and the middle-aged woman the teen befriends at a bus stop—Linklater's characters explore nothing less than the meaning of life. And yet it's anything but self-serious–in fact, much of the show is quite funny, especially a drawn-out metaphor involving Doritos and beer as the two ends of life's spectrum of meaning. Anything more I say about this atmospheric piece will ruin its brief passage upon the stage: just go see Shade Murray's production in which the always-excellent Kendra Thulin conveys every nuance of grief and loss while maintaining a flinty exterior the two men work hard to penetrate because it's so obviously worthwhile to do so. ((Jack Miggins as the Boy and Alex Gilmor as the Man are both fine.) On Dan Stratton's set consisting of a few boxes serving as a bus bench, a store counter and everything else, these three manage to conjure not only the physical setting in an urban desert between a hospital, a cemetery and a liquor store but the spiritual aridity it represents—and the possibilities that yet remain. See this exceptional piece of work, playing through November 8.
And still there's something even better on another Chicago stage: Romulus, Gore Vidal's 1962 adaptation of Friedrich Durrenmatt's play about the last Roman emperor. The Oracle people can't seem to put a foot wrong: if they do a show, it's smart, it's funny, it's perfectly acted, it's political without being doctrinaire—and it's free. This satire takes place on the final day before Rome falls to the Goths, and makes a powerful case that nothing better could happen in the world than for an empire—any empire—to fall. You can see how the German Durrenmatt would have felt that way in 1949; you can see how Vidal would have felt that way in the shadow of the Cuban Missile Crisis; and most important you can see how it applies today, when America's determination to maintain its world primacy costs life after life for no apparent purpose. Like The Vandal, this is a funny play with a serious purpose; like The Vandal, its director (here, Kasey Foster) has brought out the best from every member of a gifted company. Kevin Cox is particularly good as the titular emperor, who turns out to be the proverbial wise fool, and Jeremy Trager's turn as Otto Rupf, the pants-maker who will save the world (don't ask), keeps things rolling merrily along. A truly extraordinary experience, through November 22.
The hits
Both Your Houses by Maxwell Anderson won the Pulitzer Prize and promptly collapsed into obscurity, perhaps because it hit too close to home in its examination of how badly our government operates. (Has Washington gotten the message yet, do you suppose? Try sending it again on November 4.) Imagine "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" without the positive outcome, and you've got the plot of Anderson's play: a brand-new idealistic new Senator goes up against the forces of graft and corruption with the help of a seen-it-all dame inspired by his example. Only this time things don't go quite as planned or hoped-for. Like much material of the same vintage, 1933′s Both Your Houses strikes our ears as wordy to the point of redundancy. (An audience used to ninety-minute dramas gets restless after Hour 2.) Though director James Bohnen specializes in this kind of battle of ideas, the production doesn't crackle as it should. At the performance I saw David Darlow kept dropping his lines, and as his character is the moral center of the play any hesitation on his part undercuts the entire affair. An interesting evening but not what it could have been. Through November 9.
The Gravedigger at First Folio gets the jump on Halloween with this imagining of what happened to Frankenstein's monster between the time he killed Mrs. Frankenstein and the moment he's confronted by his creator somewhere in the frozen north. Director Alison C. Vesely secures strong performances from her foursome of actors, especially the always-fine Craig Spidle as a hermit who shelters the monster. But Joseph Zettelmaier's whole play is just too damn earnest, with every character prating about love and redemption. It would have been twice as good if it had been half as long, but as it is we have plenty of time to notice that these people keep reassuring one another of their potential and virtue. Obviously Frankenstein is a moral tale, but I like my morals neat, without a lot of sentimental chaser. Angela Weber Miller's scenic design is excellent, and the spooky Mayslake mansion a fine setting, but the evening is less than the sum of its parts. Through November 2.
Left on base
Smokefall is the Goodman's remount of last year's hit, written by flavor-of-the-month playwright Noah Haidle. This production did not enable me to gather the source of his appeal. Like The Gravedigger, it features a lot of people talking to each other about love rather than helping the audience experience or understand that emotion. When pre-term twins (Eric Slater and Guy Massey, superb as always) discuss the terrors of life from their safe location in utero, the play is witty and engaging; but nothing leads up to that moment and nothing issues forth from it. What exactly is supposed to be so great about this play I couldn't tell you, and it's a waste of actors Katherine Keberlein and Mike Nussbaum. If you want to make a play about how it's hard but possible to live life to the fullest into old age, just do the story of Nussbaum's life.
King Lear at Chicago Shakespeare: Is it 'towering' or merely excellent?
Jonathan and Kelly dispute the merits of Barbara Gaines's production of King Lear, starring Larry Yando. Then K. recommends Rest by MacArthur genius grant recipient Samuel D. Hunter, at Victory Gardens, while J. chooses the Health Care plays at American Theatre Company.
1 playwright, 2 plays, 2 critics: Death Tax at Lookingglass, Isaac's Eye at Writers

Kelly and Jonathan grapple with two plays by Lucas Hnath, a rising young playwright. Do they complement one another, or contradict one another? Is either one worth listening to? The same questions, of course, can be asked of the Dueling Critics!
And Jonathan eulogizes Sheldon Patinkin.
Shattered Globe spins the true yarn of The Whaleship Essex, inspiration for Moby Dick
The company of The Whaleship Essex prepares to harpoon or be harpooned in the Shattered Globe production of Joe Forbrich's play, directed by Lou Contey.
Jonathan and Kelly buckle on their swashes to critique The Whaleship Essex, Shattered Globe's almost-world premiere of a play about the facts which inspired Herman Melville to write Moby Dick. Is the production inspiring as well? Only the duelists know for sure!
Then Jonathan recommends Fail/Safe at Strawdog and Kelly recommends Jane Eyre at Lifeline, though in fact each seconds the other's recommendation.
In brief: The Coward (Stage Left), Sweet Charity (MadKap), The Midnight City (Firecat)

K. sez:
The Coward (Stage Left Theatre at Theater Wit) is cute. I realize how much that sounds like damning with faint praise, but two things interfere with a more enthusiastic assessment: Stage Left's own history of producing political work, and an inherent weakness in Nick Jones's script which parodies Restoration comedy–itself a satire of the affectations and delusions of the privileged class.
To take these in order: while The Coward is faintly political–its plot involves the surviving son of a lord who resists dueling as the waste of time, effort and blood that it is, and said son's efforts to maintain his anti-dueling principles in the face of social pressure–it hardly measures up to the powerful work the company has done in the past. The Coward comforts the comfortable too much–we, the 21st Century audience, would never be so foolish!
More significantly, as a parody of a satire, The Coward puts us at double remove from the characters. This not only encourages the audience to feel itself above the [literal] fray but encourages the actors to ham it up. Ham is fine–especially that of Kate Black-Spence, as the vain ingenue, and Spenser David as one of the anti-hero's chums–but I like some bread with my meal. But the thing looks spectacular: kudos to costume and effects designer Aly Renee Amidei for her gorgeous 18th-Century duds. Through October 5.
MadKap Productions makes an astonishingly assured debut with Sweet Charity, the first production of its first subscription season at the Skokie Theatre. Under Andrew Park's direction, this show–an early effort from Neil Simon–moves almost fast enough to conceal what a clunker the script is. Charity Hope Valentine, a dance-hall hostess, dreams of getting out of that business and finding true love. She has a series of adventures which don't coalesce into an actual plot until late in Act One, and finally resolve unhappily. There are a couple of good songs–"If They Could See Me Now," "Hey Big Spender"–but the show is mostly known, and revered, for having launched Gwen Verdon on the world dancing Bob Fosse's steps. Likewise, this production should mostly be known and appreciated for launching Sara Hoch on Chicago theater dancing Robin Lehtman's steps. Actually, everyone's dancing is really strong, and the voices are really exceptional under Gary Powell's music direction.
Opening night featured some microphone-related catastrophe which caused squeaking and thumping every time Charity moved (that's the risk with body mikes); and, in a space the size of an old high-school auditorium, I don't understand why the cast needs to be miked at all. If the orchestra is too loud (and it sometimes is), quiet it down, and let the singers go au naturel. Yes, I know that's not what that means. Through September 28 at the Skokie Theatre–take Lincoln Avenue north until it dead-ends; the theater, an old movie-house, will be to your right about 100 paces.
Tony Fitzpatrick is both a visual artist and a monologuist who's about to leave his native Chicago for New Orleans, and his friend Stan Klein is a tri-a-loguist, by which I mean he has three personas each of which reflects on itself and the others. As woven together smoothly by adapter-director Ann Filmer (artistic director of 16th Street Theater), with hypnotic video by Kristin Reeves and guitar and vocals by John Rice and Anna Fermin, the men's meditations on how Chicago has changed as they have aged (or is it they who have changed?), lumped together under the title The Midnight City, are generally charming and occasionally hilarious. Fitzpatrick particularly has the gift of the superb insult: he refers to unpleasant people as "guys who use Preparation H for Chap-Stick." The show is custom-designed to make us miss Fitzpatrick now that he's going and wonder why we haven't paid more attention to him up until now. I predict–as does Stan–that Tony will be back. Meanwhile, catch The Midnight City in the Steppenwolf Garage through October 19.

All right, a single show which lasts for 12 hours; but there are bathroom breaks!

Holy Shit has someone become just a LITTLE bit humble.
Lesson learned for him I guess. Only, thing is be a man and admit you took shit. He's usually a pretty confident guy in his interviews. He looked like a little boy in this one.

Hello Bruno,

Thank you

I've been following King Mo since day one and this is his normal self. Most interviews of him are when he is training for an upcoming fight so he is in another mode during those videos and he his talking $hit to get the bills paid. Ive also seen him in non-promotional mode like this interview and its really how he is normally.
Now in regards to the drug testing i've gotta say i believe him. Hopefully, the commission will show leniency and allow him back sooner than later.

Im looking for for a light Metre but I'm a bit clueless to which are good brand and which are not. I need something that i can use on location e.g a wedding shoot and preferably one thats not going to break the bank of a student.
Thanks Alice
Quote: Im looking for for a light Metre
Is 299,792,458 metres per second good enough
Alternatively the Sekonic L308s might be what you need.
Sekonic L-308S or a shepard Polaris, both fairly cheap, its all you need really.
They both also cover flash.
Hi Alice,
Sekonic, Minolta are excellent meters, Polaris represents good value also Gossen. Make sure you get one that does both ambient and flash. Don't worry too much about age, i'm still using a Minolta 3 meter it works a treat even though its getting quite old. Look for good condition on ebay.
Sekonics and Polaris are only different in name really, there both great little meters.
I think you can get a light sabre from s Star Wars shop
Camera`s meter differently Denny, and light meters (most) can also measure flash exposer.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The teachers at this school are great but the one principal is terrible at taking sides of students that he knew and there parents. He will not always believe what your kids says because of him knowing the other kid better he believed her cause he was friends with her parents. After all of that he wouldn't believe a word my kid was saying cause he wanted to take the other girls side in the whole fight. Also this school has a ton of bullying here mostly on Facebook and the internet and they try to take it into there own hands when it's happening outside of school. My kid comes home saying she wants to move cause she gets talked bad about her at school and she doesn't like the principal she believe he treats her unfairly. I would not go to this school if i were you.
Last year my son had nothing but issues mostly stemming from bullying by the girls, then he was in trouble when he exploded. We tried to work with the school, had him in counseling, put him on a behavior plan for him to "earn" back privileges, work with him to help him make better choices, etc. He was constantly spinning his wheels, feeling worse and worse about himself and the intense hatred he developed for the principal was very disturbing. There was even an incident where my son claims that the principal called him swear names behind closed doors, of course the principal denied saying "that is absurd." We have decided to send our son to private school for the remainder middle school years and the change (and space the summer provided) has already made a huge and positive difference in his attitude. We also have a daughter who started 5th grade this year and on day 1 the principal managed to single out another child (a kid who was never in trouble before) during a meeting with the new 5th graders. He yelled a this child, demanded he leave the room and go to the office all for forgetting to cover his mouth when he yawned. The kids are now scared SICK to go to school. UGH!
This is my daughters first year in the school and the experience has been amazing. She is so happy and comfortable with the school environment and I am more than satisfied with the programs that are offered to the students. I recommend this school.
This is a wonderful school with great teachers. Some parents are just lazy and they don't keep their kids on track. If your child can follow the rules and do homework, they will excel!
this middle school is excellent. The teacher are fantastic. Thankfully they push the kids to do their best. Detention isn't a problem as long as your child follows the rules.
It's a very good school, contrary to the last comment. You only get detentions for 3 missed homework assignments. I've been to a few different schools and Schuylkill Valley is definitely the best. As a former student of the school I Highly recommend it. I had some of the best moments of my life in that school.
The middle school treats the children like dirt. They are harder on the 6th graders than they are on the high school kids. I have a high schooler now, and am so glad they are out of that middle school! Also, the 6th graders get detention for missed homework, but the 7th -12th graders don't.
