Michigan Passes Anti-Bullying Law
The long-debated 'Matt's Safe School Law' was signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder on Dec. 6, 2011, making Michigan the 48th state to have an anti-bullying law.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed an anti-bullying law on Dec. 6, 2011, making the state the 48th to have such legistlation.
"This legislation sends a clear message that bullying is wrong in all its forms and will not be tolerated," Snyder said in a statement. "No child should feel intimidated or afraid to come to school."
House Bill 4163 finally passed the Senate in a 35-2 vote on Nov. 29, 2011, after much debate. It originated as Matt's Safe School Law, so named for southeast Michigan eighth grader Matt Epling, who took his life in 2002 after a school hazing bullying incident.
Now that it's actually law, how will it impact families – and kids – in southeast Michigan?
What it says
Schools will have six months to create and implement anti-bullying plans if they do not have one already.
The plans will prohibit bullying or retaliation by bullies, require schools to inform the parents or legal guardians of bullies and their victims, and create a procedure for the reporting and documentation of cases of bullying.
The 'religious/moral' issue
The bill came under fire while it was in the Senate, when Republicans tried to include an exemption for those who hold "sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction."
Senate Democratic leader Gretchen Whitmer said the amendment was "explicitly outlining how to get away with bullying," according to a Nov. 4 article from The Washington Post. She said the amendment would allow bullying "if a student, parent, teacher or school employee can come up with a moral or religious reason for doing it."
Republicans ultimately dropped the amendment, and the language included all students and prohibits bullying "without regard to its subject matter or motivating animus."
"The protection of our children from physical and emotional harm is a moral obligation and responsibility of everyone," said State Superintendent Mike Flanagan in a statement after the Senate passed the bill.
"This has been an emotional issue, and I appreciate the Senate showing the leadership to reconsider its position… and completing this cooperative process with respect to every side of this debate for the protection of all schoolchildren."
LGBT disappointment
Some groups expressed disappointment that the legislation does not outline certain groups of people, such as gays, who should be protected against bullying based on bias.
Activist group Equality Michigan, which particularly focuses on gay rights, is "thrilled and grateful" that the exemption language was taken out, but the group wants to see statewide bullying reporting initiatives and enumeration of the common characteristics of bullying victims to prevent bullying based on bias, director of communications Michael Gregor says.
"We're disappointed that the Senate wasn't willing to really stand up and pass a bill that was strong and comprehensive and based on research and that would really be effective," says Gregor.
'Good first step'
Betsy Kellman, Michigan regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, calls the legislation "a good first step" that can be later strengthened by individual school districts.
"It's certainly not as good as it could have been or as bad as it could have been," she says.
While the ADL would have liked to have seen enumerated protection for certain groups of people, she says, this legal action indicates Michigan legislation and Gov. Snyder view bullying as an important issue to be taken seriously.
"We're glad something has finally been passed."
The legislation complements the ADL's No Place for Hate school program, which is now being implemented in more than 100 schools versus only five or six schools last year, Kellman says.
"We're seeing an emphasis on people saying they won't allow hate in their schools or bias or bigotry."
Emily, what a breathtaking post, i had no idea that this was even in action yet to be honest. And the fact that you had so many quotes and examples actually showed and taught me way more than i knew on the subject before hand. Maybe what we could do is make a rule in schools that if you would to bully someone or be apart of a group bullying someone, depending on the severity, that they could potentially be expelled or suspended for quite a while. and when they come back to school they would have after school penalties to face as well. The reason i really liked this blog was because, if I would not of known anything about bullying or never really thought about it, this would have been the blog to read. I would prefer this blog to plenty of my friends and or someone who has been bullied to show that we care and that we are trying to make a difference for them so they don't have to live in fear anymore.

WEll it is time for re-committing myself again. Yes again....but I am not giving up....I will restart as many times as I have to to get this job done.
It is becoming more important and more urgent.....to lose weight for the following reasons:

have Lance be proud of me
Thursday, March 8, 2012
March 24th I will be 70 years old!! Last week, I got the information that my cholesterol was 311 and my triglycerides even higher at 329!! Dr. Bailey wanted me to take statins but referred my case to Dr Aslamy. They called in a script for lipitor. I too 1 pill and decided that I could not risk the side effects that I had gotten in the past of muscle aches.
I saw Dr. Nava to discuss how to treat my high cholesterol. We agreed that I would start with prescription strength fish oil. I made the commitment that I would change my diet.
On Thursday , March 8th, I stated following the recognition of Dr Dean Ornish and his Spectrum plan.. I am doing really good so far.
Today....I am recommitting myself to living the Spark Way. I'll be honest ..I have been dieting for 56 years!! I have managed to diet myself up to 268 lbs...but i have been as high as 310!!! I am sick of dieting...I am sick of trying to lose weight....I am sick of watching every single thing that goes into my mouth.....or bingeing uncontrollably.
I have to change my mindset...this has to be a style of eating and not a diet. I can enjoy anything that I want...AS LONG AS I COUNTED IT.
Today is day one....day one for the 500th time......this has to be the last day one....I am not getting any younger and there aren't too many day 1 left.

As I type these words, I can hear Clinton speaking on C-SPAN. I can't help but notice that everything that comes out of her mouth, every single proposal, has to do with expanding the role of government. Free this, free that, free for all, free for you! It's for the children, for our families, for our workers, for our teaches and for our country.
This is a sick and decadent mentality that corrodes personal responsibility and shifts more of our resources to the state. Might as well increase taxation to 100% and go communist. It's for your own good.1:47 pm on January 20, 2008 Email Manuel Lora

Antique dollhouse wallpaper
Posted on | February 24, 2010 | No Comments
In a search on antique lithographed wallpapers I stumbled on a beautiful example of such for the Victorian dollhouse market. This marvelously preserved and richly patterned German "room box" well illustrates the passion for ornament that decorators in the 19th century shared, even when applied on such a diminutive scale. The quality in coloring here and meticulous detail was in part due to the sophistication of the lithographers' art during the period.
The interior is in a formal Neo-Classical style. It is crowned with a double frieze combining trompe l'oeil Greek key and anthemion motifs. The wall is panelized with a French Blue painted margin, (with coordinated draperies), simulated gold leafed trim molding and a two toned red diaper pattern as the primary fill paper. the wainscot is a light grained wood. Parquet flooring? Likely, but hard to tell from the photo. All of this accessorized with potted palms and pastoral scenes in elaborate gilt frames. All in all, a very upscale treatment, especially for the juvenile market.
The room includes with it's several windows and entrance door, an inset mirror, two portraits and a pendulum clock. Almost all available wall space is occupied, cramming as much imagination and value into the print as possible.
Still retaining its value, the set recently sold on the site I saw it on, Ruby Lane Antiques, for $800. Not bad for a child's room box after all the years of enjoyment and use. The seller on the Ruby Lane site was Curley Creek Antiques in South Colby, Washington, (they apparently sell other antique doll house items as well, if you're looking for that).
Thanks to both of them for sharing these historic wallpapers with us!

Skulls of the Shogun is already one of the best games to come out this year, and now it's at an even more enticing price point. 17-BIT, the studio behind the game, has announced that they're slashing prices across the board on the game's various platforms. This includes Xbox 360, PC, and tablets.
The Xbox Live Arcade version of Skulls of the Shogun has officially dropped to 800 Microsoft Points (formerly 1200), while the Windows 8 and Microsoft Surface versions of the game are now only $6.99 (formerly $14.99). The Windows Phone version, however, will stay at its current price of $4.99.
It's worth noting that players on every platform can battle each other, thanks to the game's nifty 'Skulls Anywhere' asynchronous multiplayer mode. The new price point should definitely get more people to try the game's addicting turn-based strategy gameplay. Trust me, the game is worth every penny.

According to tweets tonight from Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman, former Kansas City Royals ace Zack Greinke rejected the Nationals trade offer earlier this winter despite Washington offering a lucrative extension. Heyman Tweets:
"Word is, #nationals offered Greinke big extension to entice him to come. He still rejected them, then accepted #brewers…reason Greinke wouldn't go to #Nats is he didn't believe they could win. It was never about the money for him."
Heyman doesn't list his source in these tweets, although I don't doubt the accuracy of his statements. For the Nationals it is one more slap in the face from a potential player, refusing to come to Washington due to a disbelief in the clubs plan to put together a winning ball club. Perhaps the biggest slight in all of this is that the team he did accept a trade to, the Brewers, did not give Greinke any extension.
Of course, it is always easy to blame a player for making the baseball decision instead of the greedy one when it doesn't benefit you. All to often we expect players to make the decision that will put them in a best situation to win, instead of the one that will pad their pockets more. In this one situation, Washingtonians had hoped Greinke would be greedy, but he did what he felt was best for him.
While the Brewers are far from a post-season lock, they are far more prepared to compete in 2011 than the Nationals could possibly be, even if the club had been able to add Greinke. Yes, they will have to compete with the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds for the Division and the Wild Card, but with a rotation that will now be one of the top ten in baseball and with a lineup of young sluggers, Greinke has put himself in a good situation.
This is the problem though with the hole the Nationals have put themselves in over the past few seasons. It wasn't until this winter that the club was willing to spend to win and the lost Bowden years left the Nationals years behind other cellar dwellers like the Brewers. As a result, the club has broadcasted a very negative stigma over the past several years which has no doubt come back to bite them this winter.
The good news is that things can only get better. The Nationals will get stronger with their young talent and will start to become more and more attractive to incoming players. Still, this one stings.

Samsung forecasts profit fall while curved TV launch goes awry
Samsung Electronics has forecast a fall in profits for the three months from October to December 2013 of 18% compared to the previous quarter, while the launch of its curved TV at CES attracted negative press.
Samsung Galaxy S4: company faces slower demand in tough smartphone market
The South Korean company has estimated its fourth quarter earnings by operative profit will be around 8.3 trillion Won (£4.8bn), down by 18% on the previous quarter, and down 6% compared to the same period last year.
The squeeze on profits is thought to be due to a tougher smartphone market, where Samsung, despite being the world's biggest electronic group by sales, is experiencing slowing demand, coupled with increasing competition from Apple following the launch of the iPhone 5S and the cheaper 5C last year.
Samsung yesterday launched its new curved TVs, which it hopes will become the latest word in home entertainment.
The launch at technology show CES went awry however when Michael Bay, the director of the 'Transformers' action films who had agreed to present the new product, fluffed his lines and walked off stage.
Bay was due to demonstrate the capabilities of the new curved UHD sets by showing a clip of the new 'Transformers' film, but while introducing the new product onstage alongside Samsung's executive vice-president Joe Stinziano, he missed a line on the teleprompter, apologised and left.
He later wrote on his blog: "Wow! Just embarrassed myself at CES. "I was about to speak for Samsung for this awesome curved 105-inch UHD TV. I rarely lend my name to any products but this one is just stellar.
"I got so excited to talk that I skipped over the exec VP's intro line then the teleprompter got lost.
"Then the prompter went up and down – then I walked off. I guess live shows aren't my thing."

Government Contracting of Private Military and Security Companies
IPI convened a retreat last week with the support of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the Greentree Foundation to generate recommendations for states contracting private military and security companies. In the wake of the recent scandal around the alleged killing of Iraqi civilians by Blackwater contractors, it is becoming all too clear how contractor misconduct eventually comes back to hurt whoever is footing the bill.

"Born by Water and the Spirit"
For two thousand years and counting, people have marked the beginning of their life in Christ with Baptism, and that is certainly true at St. Michael's. Baptism is open to anyone who wants to follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This includes adults as well as children.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
We are so glad that you are considering baptism for yourself or your child. It is our greatest joy in the church to welcome a new member into the family of God. Our prayer is that through this sacrament you will experience the power and love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Before you begin your journey towards baptism, you might have a few questions. We hope we can answer most of them here so that your experience is as joyful as possible.
What is baptism?
Baptism is a sacrament instituted by Jesus. A sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. The outward and visible sign is water and the inward and spiritual grace given to us by God through the waters of baptism is new birth and adoption as his son or daughter, a member of his divine household. With baptism we are forgiven and cleansed from our sin and united with Christ in his death and resurrection. We are welcomed as members of the Body of Christ, the Church and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Does baptism guarantee salvation and a place in heaven?
Like any other gift that is given, one can decide not to open and receive the gift. The gift of new life given in baptism is no different. Most assuredly, the gift God gives is real and his promises are true, but the individual who has been baptized can choose to reject the gift of God and turn from him eternally. Our prayer is that by the prayer and witness of parents and Godparents along with the support of the church community, there will be a greater prospect of the individual, by faith, receiving fully the gift of God and knowing the love of the giver.
Do we baptize adults?
Yes we do, and this is one of our greatest joys. In order to be baptized an adult must renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces that work against God, repent of his or her sins and turn to Jesus Christ and trust him as Savior and Lord. Adults who wish to be baptized, as part of there preparation, must complete the Alpha Course and meet one on one with a priest for specific baptismal instruction.
Do we baptize infants and why?
Yes, we do baptize infants and small children which is part of our Anglican tradition and the wider church's practice since its very earliest days. We believe this practice is agreeable with the Biblical understanding of the sacrament. We believe that the chief actor in the sacrament of baptism is God himself rather than the person being baptized. When a helpless infant is baptized, this truth is beautifully apparent. Just as infants are full members of their earthly families, through baptism they can also become full members of the family of God, the Church.
What is required of the parents of a child being baptized?
In the baptismal service on page 302, there is a list of questions we will be asking you during the service. They include:
• Will you be responsible for seeing that the child you present is brought up in the Christian faith and life?
• Will you by your prayers and witness help this child to grow into the full stature of Christ?
• Do you turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Savior?
• Do you put your whole trust in his grace and love?
• Do you promise to follow and obey him as your Lord?
How do we prepare you for these and other questions?
We ask you to come to our First Thursday of the month Baptismal Preparation Party (B.P.P.). This party is scheduled with childcare from 5:30 – 7:15 pm every first Thursday and includes everything from teaching to fellowship to a tour of our facilities. So, if you would like baptism in January for instance, you could choose to come to any of the monthly baptismal prep parties beforehand. Also, take note that Godparents are strongly urged to attend. Simply e-mail Cyndee Cave and let her know which month you plan on attending the BPP, as well as the date and service time for the Baptism.
If I have been baptized before in another denomination, do I need to be re-baptized in the Episcopal Church in order to join Saint Michael's?
No. We believe that there is one Lord, one Faith, and one baptism. We recognize as valid any baptism of an individual in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Who should we choose as Godparents?
The Godparents should be followers of Jesus Christ and active members of a Christian Church. The Godparents make the same vows and declarations that the parents make as part of baptismal liturgy. You will want to choose Godparents who can make these vows in good conscience.
When are baptisms done at Saint Michael's?
Baptisms are celebrated as part of the corporate worship life of our congregation. We do not do private baptisms except in very special pastoral situations. Baptisms occur on the third Sunday of the month at the 10:30 service. We also love to have baptisms at the other Sunday services as well. At these other services we can be more flexible about the particular day of the month we do baptisms.
Who can I get more information on Baptism?

We are in the season of Lent. It is a season of preparation, active waiting, reflection, discipline, repentance and hope. I have always had mixed feelings about the Lenten season. On the one hand, it seems a bit somber. On the other hand, Lent leads to the sure and certain promise of Easter. The dark days of Lent are given new life in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

There was a time when the church could assume that the people it was trying to reach already knew the Christian story. Evangelism meant framing the Christian message in a relevant light. Today, many in the church aren't familiar with aspects of the Bible or the Christian story.
As the days lengthen and the temperature rises, the Luther Seminary community knows that means the Spring Luncheon is approaching. This year's theme is "That's in Turkey? Who Knew? The Cradle of the Early Church."

Trusted Traveler Program?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 02-09-2012 - 11:24am
Yesterday on the news they were talking about the TSA's announcement that they would expand the "Pre-Check" program to more airports this year. It seems to be an expansion of the Trusted Traveler/Global Entry program, with getting more airlines on board (pun intended) and having them promote the program to their frequent flyers. It will allow travelers with the cards (who have been pre-screened in order to get the card) to pass through a separate security line that will not require removing shoes or belts, opening laptops, etc.
|Thu, 02-09-2012 - 3:11pm
Probably not... We just don't travel that much any more. Now if we were still living overseas, maybe we would have...
Edited to add that our "local" airport (Detroit) isn't a participant and we usualy out of there on every trip...
|Thu, 02-09-2012 - 4:07pm
|Thu, 02-09-2012 - 7:14pm
Dh and I are already in the TT program. We got SENTRI cards (for crossing into US from Mexico) last year and shortly afterwards they announced that they could be used for Global Entry at participating airports. Now it looks like they will also be accepted for the PreCheck lines, but I'll need to confirm that. Unfortunately our local airport is not on the list of PreCheck airports for 2012 but some airports that we might fly into are on the list...so on our return we could qualify for the fast lane.
For $20 a year its a pretty good deal, assuming that your local airport participates. My dh travels a lot for business and I'll bet that he would apply for it, if he didn't already have the SENTRI.

The district retained Bray Architects in June of 2008 to "provide programming, referendum support, architectural / engineering, and interior design services for the District's proposed building projects."[1]
This measure is one of three on the April 7 ballot in the Middleton-Cross Plains School District. The others are Middleton-Cross Plains School District Referendum (2009) and Middleton-Cross Plains Exceed Revenue Limits Referendum (2009).
Defeated, along with the other two measures from the district. There were 4,766 "yes" votes and 5,677 "no" votes.[2][3]
Tax impact
The estimated tax impact on a $300,000 property would turn out differently according to what measures might pass.
- Option 1: New elementary school at the Pope Farm site — $195
- Option 1a: New elementary school and renovate Kromrey Middle School — $315
- Option 2: New middle school at Pope Farm site — $261
- Option 3: New elementary and middle school at Pope Farm site: $417[4]
Wording of referendum
Initial Resolution Authorizing General Obligation Bonds in an Amount Not to Exceed $34,750,000 for School Building Program Be it Resolved by the School Board of Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District, Dane County, Wisconsin that there shall be issued pursuant to Chapter 67 of the Wisconsin Statutes, general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $34,750,000 for the public purpose of paying the cost of a school building program consisting of the construction and equipping of a new elementary school including utility and other site improvements; a classroom and gymnasium addition at Glacier Creek Middle School; and an addition at Park Elementary School; and safety and security improvements to District facilities.[2]

A couple of months ago, I wrote about Detroit's jail blunder and the potential work stoppage on the construction of the massive facility – on prime downtown property – that was over budget on all counts. Work on this addition to incarceration nation has finally stopped, and five developers have submitted bids to develop the area for … gasp, private development and city life enrichment for the people who live here.
Dan Gilbert wants to develop not only the jail fail property, but also nearby detention center properties for the purpose of building a "mixed-use retail, entertainment, residential and office development that would serve as a gateway to downtown from the east." All to the good, of course. And the FBI is investigating the political scandal that created this project. While I never cheer on an FBI investigation, I may make an exception in this case. Oh but I forgot – the project wasn't for the purpose of lining pockets and bolstering reputations of proud politicos. It was designed to "save money" for the poor tax feeders.

Recently, Zenith Media Beijing won the media account for PPTV, including the whole media planning business and part of the media buying business in 2011.
After two rounds of pitch, Zenith Media Beijing beat Carat and won PPTV's confidence, with its original investigation, viewpoints and thoughtful consideration of the market and consumers.
The pitch was held to look for a global top-grade 4A media agency to help PPTV build its brand influences all over the country. Zenith Media Beijing provided PPTV a set of comprehensive solutions and communication suggestions, which embodied the great spirit of the agency as a business partner. PPTV is a brand under PPLive, which has the most installations of online TV worldwide.
Tiffany Hu, General Manager of Zenith Media Beijing, remarked that 'winning this pitch is another milestone of our media communication in the internet-based customer service area. Zenith Media Beijing totally appreciates the importance of clients' investments, and believes that any investment should be targeted. Under the concept of ROI, we will continuously build brand influence together with PPTV'.
Derek, Managing Director of Zenith Media China, said that 'video sites will enter an important brand-building period this year, with the rapid development of three networks convergence and mobile internet. We are pleased to work together to create history with PPTV'.
As the earliest established media agency in China, Zenith Media is one of the two most important sub-brands of ZenithOptimedia, and responsible for a list of both domestic and international top brands, such as China Mobile, Shanghai GM, HTC, Reckitt Benckiser etc.
'It's exciting that Zenith Media has become the first media agency of PPTV', said Steven Chang, CEO of ZenithOptimedia Greater China. 'Online video, e-commerce and mobile internet are considered the fastest growing fields. As the leader in the field of online video, PPTV offers audiences a bit more choice than others. I believe that Zenith Media, with years of experience and an in-depth understanding of customers on the Internet, will maximize the ROI for PPTV and help it to create strong influences in the online video industry around the nation'.

Shameless Review: Fire Breathing One-Eyed Dragonby Leigh Raines at . Comments
Do you ever have the urge to hurl your remote at the TV during a show? I guess that's pretty natural for us over here at TV Fanatic, as we're obviously passionate about our television.
And the end of this week's Shameless made it difficult to me to resist this pull.
Surprisingly, it wasn't because a faux Mary Kay Letourneau asked Lip "May I Trim Your Hedges?" It was all Fiona and Jimmy that got me emotional this week.
FYI: Frank is too much of a moron to even shave Carl's head properly. Let's just get his storyline out of the way because I can't even deal. I know this show is all about the moral dilemmas of "how low can you go?" Our characters often hit rock bottom. With Frank there is rock bottom... there's fifty feet of crap and then him. And yes, I sorta stole that quote from a very old Friends episode.
Stealing the copay for any infant, especially a special-needs infant, and then pricking them with a Jack Daniels soaked thumbtack to fake that they were vaccinated is horrible. I don't care if you agree with kids getting vaccinated or not, pricking them with a whiskey-soaked thumbtack is just a NO. Then shaving your 11-year old's head and telling them they have cancer so you can score an autographed Chicago Bulls basketball from a Make a Wish Foundation to hawk for cash?
Really, need I say more? At least he sorta got Carl into a camp. Carl seemed kind of psyched about that.
It's amazing that in an episode with pedophiles, multiple perverts, crazy lying ex-wives and a violent homophobic teen, that Frank still manages to outshine everyone with his despicable behavior. Now let's get to everyone else...
This week was literally the pervert parade. First, we had the grocery store clerk that will prevent me from ever looking at deli meat the same way again. Good for Fiona for blackmailing that douchenozzle. Get those dayshifts, hunnie.
Then, the guy who was whacking it on the bus to Debs. Poor Debs has seen more by the age of 13 than most people see in a lifetime. She did, however, get her first kiss from the age appropriate and surprisingly sweet Kyle. I say surprisingly sweet because of the crazy bitch he is related to: Kev's ex wife.
She is a crazy bitch and not a crazy bitch like you are, 'oh bitch you're so crazy!' No, she once tried to beat me to death with a frozen fish because I asked if there was more broccoli. | permalink
I loved when Fiona walked in and Kev's ex tried to introduce herself and Fiona pulled out her ghetto side with a snap in the face like "I know who you are bitch." It was a very fierce move you'd normally see from Lafayette on True Blood. Fi and V are the my favorite best friend duo. Fiona was ready to throw down for her girl. But even better than Fi and V are V and Kev. I actually teared up at that moment in the kitchen when he told her she should know better than to think he'd ever leave her. Then I saw the best catfight I've seen in years, bar none.
With the ex-wife taken care of, Mandy did a little butt kicking of her own and took down Blake the faux Mary Kay Letourneau who... umm...pleasured Lip with peanut butter while simultaneously Nair-ing his pubic area. Not gonna lie, but that just sounds like a recipe for getting poisoned and I don't know how Lip didn't notice the rotten egg hell smell that is Nair, but I guess he was sorta preoccupied. While I approve of Mandy using her skills to chase a sex offender from the neighborhood, I have no affection for her brother Mickey.
Mickey blatantly will not admit he's gay and beats the crap out of anyone else who is (except Ian.) Then he up and banged some chick Angie from the neighborhood while Ian was standing right there. After all that, he had the gall to stalk out Ian's date with Jimmy's dad and then beat the crap out of him. Ian should've stayed with Jimmy's dad and taken care of him. Why he is interested in Mickey is beyond me. Mickey is the worst!
Finally, we come full circle to the scene that had me almost throwing my remote at the TV: Fiona crying in bed while kissing Jimmy and telling him she trusted him.
Fiona is usually smart and Lip has already started to pick up on Jimmy's shadiness and the constant presence of the escalade. How long until Fiona does too? I've said this since the Shameless Season 3 premiere, Jimmy needs to come clean. Maybe not about what Estefania did in the back of the Escalade, but the entire sham. Even the crazy driver knows it's wrong.
Alright I feel like I've fully analyzed the lives of the Gallaghers this week so now it's your turn. Hit the comments!
Leigh Raines is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Shameless, Reviews
hey, does anyone know the name of the actress who plays Kev's Ex-wife? thanks
was suprised to see mandy naked, im not complaining, it just seemed sudden as we have never even seen her in her underwear seemed kinda weird that we suddenly see her naked
Frank sure has hit new lows using Carl to fake that he has cancer, and also pricking the baby with a tack at the bar. Come on, Frank! And the whole ordeal with Lip & Blake the sex offender was hilarious. Kind of tired of the Mickey character, though. Annoying. Good season so far. Wonder if we'll see Karen soon?
Generally I do not learn post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to check out and do so! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, quite nice post. cream rugs.co.uk http://www.cream-rugs.co.uk
While I am upset with Jimmy (also bit confused by Estefania's father's demands on Jimmy like his career of choice, wasn't he aware of this when he sent Jimmy and his daughter off together). I do get why Jimmy is withholding this information though, as Fiona even though Jimmy is only acting like Estefania's husband in name only would push him away like she did last season and I also think he is afraid of what Estefania's dad would do to the Gallaghers.
BTW yes Fiona is turned on by bad boy in Jimmy, she jumped him once after he almost got caught stealing a car.
My mom watched the show with me for the first time this evening and she was furious at Frank. I was too but I am used to that. Her reactions to the insanity made the show more enjoyable. And explaining the past episodes put these characters in place. I agree with a lot of what you wrote. My mom too yelled at Fiona for trusting Jimmy and she's only seen this episode. Good review.
What is up with all the Mickey hate? He and Ian are the fan favorite couple of this series (99.9% of the fanfiction is about the two of them). I agree that Jimmy needs to tell Fiona the truth. It is getting out of control!
@Buck thank you! You'd think I wouldn't get so shocked anymore, but these writers are so brilliant with William H Macy's character that I'm still finding my jaw on the floor from week after week! The rest of the Gallaghers I'm used to and have come to appreciate their madness. Like Debbie with pillowcase of soap bars last week? Crazy but awesome.
Love the enthusiasm you put in your reviews! Don't you think you allow this show to shock you too much though? I mean it is the 3rd Season, we are all used to the Gallagher craziness by now! Speaking for myself, when I stop being shocked at it and enthrall completely in the decadence and insanity is when I have the MOST fun. Anyway, great review!

CHARLOTTE - Rallies in Charlotte, Raleigh and across the country took place Friday, calling on the Boy Scouts of America to keep its current ban on gay membership.
Next week in Texas, the National Council will vote on a resolution that would allow gay boys to join but not openly gay adults. Both are currently banned.
Those rallying say sex and politics have no place in the Scouts.
"If they don't change the policy, they might lose 20,000 to 30,000 people. This issue has brought things to a head, and created, unfortunately i believe, some wounds and division" said Scouts volunteer and rally organizer Skip Alexander.
"I think there's a lot of pressure on the national level, some of the major contributors to the Boy Scouts but there's also a lot of parents who are concerned that this will just bring another facet to the boy scouts that they don't want," said Brad Kiser who's son is a Cub Scout.
Many rallies were met with peaceful protest in favor of the resolution. In Charlotte, former scout Matt Comer spoke in front of the crowd. He was kicked out of the Boy Scouts when he was a teenager after his troop learned he was gay.
He's been fighting the policy ever since and is founder of the Inclusive Scouting Network.
"When you talk about including gay scouts in the program we're not talking about sex. We are not talking about politics. We are talking about affirming young people and accepting young people for who they are," said Comer.
While not allowed to vote, both Comer and Alexander will be in Texas next week for the history making decision. "We do have common ground in that everybody wants what's best for scouting," said Comer.
The resolution is scheduled to be voted on next Thursday. If it passes, it would go into effect in January.

I have been good this week and only bought one book but my wish list has got considerably longer!
I bought:
The Point of Rescue by Sophie Hannah (Hodder)- Sally is watching the news with her husband when she hears a name she ought not to recognise: Mark Bretherick.
Last year, a work trip Sally had planned was cancelled at the last minute. Desperate for a break from her busy life juggling her career and a young family, Sally didn't tell her husband that the trip had fallen through. Instead, she booked a week off and treated herself to a secret holiday. All she wanted was a bit of peace- some time to herself- but it didn't work out that way. Because Sally met a man- Mark Bretherick.
All the details are the same: where he lives, his job, his wife Geraldine and daughter Lucy. Except that the man on the news is someone Sally has never seen before. And Geraldine and Lucy Bretherick are both dead...
These two were sent to me by lovely, lovely publishers for review:
The Named by Marianne Curley (Bloomsbury)- Imagine you were able to change the past. By altering one tiny thing, you could start a chain of catastrophic events...
Ethan is Named- he has the ability to travel back in time, where he must use his special skills to try to intercept the dark forces intent on unravelling history. But Ethan is also a normal schoolboy, and leading a single life with a double identity is becoming just too much to handle, especially when even the normal part is getting more and more complicated.
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty (Penguin)- Alice wakes up on the floor of the gym with a nasty bump on her head, thinking she's still a fun-loving twenty-nine year old starting life with her gorgeous husband and pregnant with her first baby.
To her disbelief, it soon transpires the fall has knocked ten years from her memory and she is actually an uptight thirty-nine year old whose idea of a good time is a three-hour workout followed by committee meetings with the kind of women she used to despise. How on earth did her life come to this? And more disturbingly, how can she not remember giving birth to three children? Why does her husband suddenly hate her? And what can Alice possibly have done that means her beloved sister will barely speak to her?
Seeing herself through fresh eyes, Alice barely recognizes or even likes the person she has become. Can she ever find her way back to the woman she used to be?
So there you go, let me know if you have read any of these or heard anything good/bad about them. Hope you all have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, hopefully there will be some sunshine!

Timor-Leste (East Timor)
Timor Leste covers the eastern part of the island of Timor, and includes the small island of Atauro and the geographically separate enclave district of Oecusse – located in the western part of the island, in Indonesian West Timor.
Timor Leste is a small country with a growing economy, fuelled largely by its natural oil and gas resources. Despite this growth however, Timor-Leste remains one of the poorest countries in Asia with its non-oil sector contracting causing widespread inequality.
Inequality is most prevalent between rural and urban areas, Timor Leste has a severe lack of rural development and as a result rural populations have been left marginalized and living in poverty.
Oxfam in Timor Leste
Oxfam's programs in Timor Leste focus on the need for rural development to address the issue of poverty and the inequality between rural and urban areas. We also work to strengthen development capacity and to create stronger alliances and partnerships with other countries and governments.
We work with over 60 partners to improve the wellbeing of rural men and women by promoting active citizenship. This is achieved through the strengthening of civil society's powers to influence processes that ensure national policies and practices help poor populations.

A $7,000 Server Comparison
Because the tests in this article are all based on open-source software, no compatibility issues were observed. Of course, low-level software that accesses hardware directly has to be customized for the different systems, but all distributions were feature-complete and included all common programs for both desktop and server use.
Once you look at closed-source software, the picture unfortunately changes. The Itanium processor is fairly well supported, while most software that supports the Power platform comes directly from IBM. Worse off is the T1000. Not even the Java JDK is available from Sun.
Although the T1000 consistently came in last, it looked better as the more threads were working concurrently. However, because most Linux developers are using single processor or dual-core systems, it is hard to find open-source applications that are capable of starting 32 threads at once.
The third place goes to the Itanium-based rx2660. The Itanium processor performed well on single-threaded applications, but in the end, it was beat consistently by the POWER5-based 510Q. With an improved version of GCC, Intel and HP surely could change this picture, but for now, there is little chance that the distributions will adopt a proprietary compiler to gain performance.
Eight execution threads earned the IBM System p5 510Q the second place in this comparison. The 510Q bested the T1000 and also held a consistent lead over the rx2660 once all eight threads were utilized. In addition, the possibilities of partitioning the system without the use of Xen or VMware makes this system the best choice among the proprietary boxes.
The biggest surprise, however, was the DL140G3. Originally, it was planned only as a point of reference, but Intel has designed a very impressive solution with the latest quad-core Xeons. For years, Intel or AMD systems running Windows or Linux have competed well against smaller UNIX systems, but never before has an x86-based system enjoyed a performance lead like this. In addition, HP has done an excellent job integrating management capabilities into the server.
In one sentence—there is little to no reason to go with the low-end proprietary server. Performance is worse, and at the low end, reliability features are comparable. Does that mean these chips are dead? Not by a long shot. Intel or AMD systems usually don't go beyond 16 cores, while the UNIX vendors offer systems with up to 144 cores. However, most of these large systems offer no or limited Linux support. In addition to the high CPU count, the virtualization capabilities of the POWER5 systems are impressive—low overhead at no additional cost.
Peter Arremann currently works at Verizon on system administration, automation of software development processes and the company's open-source policy. He has been using Linux for more than a decade and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Throughput computing and pbzip2 throughput
I do not really understand your graphs with pbzip2... Are you saying that it takes more time to compress a file with higher parallelism? I think the y-axis is goofed up.
Anyway, for in-depth analysis on throughput computing on T2000 and beyond look at:
Really? You compare these
Really? You compare these architectures using Linux? Why not the T1000 with Solaris and IBM with AIX? It seems incomplete to not test with the native OS which these architectures are optimized.
Also, you mention these architectures are "proprietary". While most are, it seems not fair to call Solaris and CMT proprietary. Both the OS and chip architecture are Open Source :)
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

ExpectantSteelerFan:It sounds like you don't need to adjust her bedtime but yours...can't you just go to bed super early, after she eats at 8/9, and then wake up earlier whether she's up or not?
We've more or less done that too -- I've stopped going back to bed after LO's 6 am feeding since I'm going back to work in a few weeks. Plus I get TONS done because he's in such a sound sleep! And then I'm ready for bed after his 9-10 feeding.
