Integrated Pest Management Update
Editor's note: This article is part of an on-going series focused on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. It's aimed at minimizing, not eliminating, the use of pesticides on sports fields. The author is Director of Leisure Services in Peachtree City, Ga., and is taking us play-by-play through his efforts to formulate an effective IPM program for sports fields.
Shortly after an Integrated Pest Management series was launched in the July issue of Parks & Rec Business, a reader contacted me to ask two pointed and, I thought, salient questions: 1.) What is the "chemical soup" effect of pesticides on human and biological life?, and 2.) What does it mean to be organic?
To help respond, or at least think through these questions, I asked Clint Waltz, Ph.D., University of Georgia Extension Turfgrass Specialist, to comment.
The Chemical Soup Effect
Our intrepid reader, who works as a parks landscape architect in Florida, first expressed thanks that the IPM issue is being brought to the surface in the media and noted that safe landscape management, along with organic agriculture, have been an interest and passion of his for years.
Then, he asked why "nobody spoke about the potential hazards of the 'chemical soup' effect of pesticides on human and biological life."
He wrote that, in his research, he finds that each chemical, whether synthetic or organic, has been tested and approved by the EPA as a single chemical, not as part of a mix of chemicals used on sports fields. In other words, when all the chemicals are put together, they may have more of an effect on one's health than any single chemical by itself.
Waltz agrees that the reader could have a point. He believes that there may be some interactions not commonly investigated for synthetic pesticides.
"Many pesticide opponents point out that we do not know the long-term effects of synthetic pesticides and their metabolites (substances necessary for a metabolic action), and we don't know the potential effects of pesticide mixtures," said Waltz. But he is quick to point out that the same can be applied to naturally occurring pesticides as well.
More directly, he points out that one chemical can actually counteract another and possibly make safe the chemical or its metabolites. So, the question is what chemicals individually and cooperatively are safe or unsafe.
If that were able to be determined, there is still another factor to consider. As Waltz says, "[Your reader] does not give credit to the incredible job of soil microorganisms that are very efficient at degrading many chemicals and rendering them benign."
As usual, there is no clear-cut answer to the chemical soup question. If there's any comfort to be taken from asking the question, it's the understanding that the EPA does require an array of environmental fate studies before a pesticide can be legally registered. The testing is more extensive than meets the eye. Hopefully, the EPA is getting it right.
The reader's second question is perhaps more interesting. What does it really mean when something is labeled as organic?
According to him, the USDA, through the National Organic Program, now owns the word "organic." He said he still sees horticultural products labeled organic when they do not meet the USDA standards, and he's not sure if the agriculture-focused organic standards of the USDA only apply to agriculture or also to landscape management.
Waltz said that the Organic Food Production Act (OFPA) provides coverage and standards for crops, livestock and derivative products. The USDA has no organic standards for health-care products, cosmetics, fertilizers or turf grass and ornamentals.
"Without applicable standards for organic management or official certification of the term "organic," the concept is open to interpretation," said Waltz. "One 'organic' lawn care company may apply its standards, which may be different from those of another company offering an 'organic' program, with no regulatory body to say which is or isn't correct."
Waltz further states that IPM and "organic" can be totally different philosophies, where IPM allows use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, while "organic" may be perceived as much more rigid, calling for a total ban on synthetics.

How are server components called?
I'm digging around trying to find out exactly how the server module/plugins components are called. So anyone that has some expertise in the manner please lend me a hand, how exactly per-say does a particular code piece call a specific plugin in the server code?
I'll give a specific example for one spot I'm looking at.. from shell_user_edit.php, where is the actual call it sends to to ADD users? I can modify how its adding, but to better understand I'd like to know what exact piece of code tells its to call method insert in the class shelluser_base_plugin
Thank you, for who can point me in the right direction. :)
nevermind.. found my answer after some more digging around, I'd delete the thread if I could.. Seem to have a habit of answering questions & finding my own answers. :)
got another one though..
done a bit of gripping & checked the ISPConfig manual.. nothing explains how/when "advanced" part of the form['tab'] is used? I understand it gets added by checking if someone is an admin, but what part of the code actually reads it?
Another one before I goto sleep.. I'm working on the support module as well, trying to make it a little better.. How do I access the form data record when I'm doing a delete?
I'm trying something to this affect but its not working..

I'm not sure if everyone who stops by here these days realizes that our time in Kodiak is coming to a close. Soon. As in less than one week soon. We leave on Sunday. For good. I've sat to write this post many times. More so to update whoever still reads this blog on what was going on. I've turned to using Facebook and Instagram more frequently than I write anymore. It's just quicker to post an update via my iPhone on Facebook/IG than it is to sit down and actually write out a blog post. Despite how much I dislike living here, it's kind of weird to be this close to leaving it for good. It's like anywhere else.

Easter 2014
It was weird celebrating Easter this year...just simply knowing that this is the last one we will spend in Kodiak. That next Easter we will be somewhere where the kids can have an actual Egg Hunt (which we didn't have here this year...at least not anywhere on base or with anyone we knew). Our anniversary fell the day before Easter this year, so we were a tad late on our Egg Dying...and the Easter Bunny didn't do his gift gathering duties until that Saturday evening while we were out on our date. Nonetheless...Noah had a blast playing with the food coloring. Noah had no interest in having his photo taken. At all. He was frustrated with me because we had an Easter Potluck at ... read more

When People Pray
There is so much on my heart that I want to share. Problem is, I don't know exactly where to begin. First let me say that Josh and I felt (with abundance) the prayers that were directed our way during our time in Anchorage. I have been steady in my faith for a long, long time. I received God's gift of salvation when I was a child and have only grown through life's circumstances through the years. But never have I been able to see his hand at work-guarding us, protecting us, keeping us in his arms-like I did while we were in Anchorage. There are so many little things that just...happened at the right time, in the right way and in our favor. So many things that weren't just ... read more
Getting Rid of the Clutter: From Materialism to Simplicity
First, I want to say thanks for all of the AMAZING feedback I received on my post this week about creating habits of materialism in our children. Ironically, the post received zero comments but the feedback I go through Facebook, email, and from in person comments by my readers was so encouraging. If I'm being honest, that post was one that I was actually terrified to post. It was a tangled web of emotions that left me wondering if people would be encouraged (as so many of you seem to have been!) or leave people thinking less of me and my husband for giving into those temptations of "stuff." Then I realized that there are very, very few people that I know who don't fall trap to things at ... read more
Where We Messed Up: Battling Materialism in your Children
Admitting that somewhere along the line you have messed up is hard. Admitting that we've said something hurtful, done something hurtful, or just intentionally done something to someone for reasons unknown...is hard. Accepting the mistakes. Admitting your flaws. Asking forgiveness....is hard. But, I don't know that there is anything quite as eye opening and as difficult to acknowledge as the moment when you realize that you have let down your children might be the toughest pill to swallow. Don't get me wrong. I knew before Noah was born that I would never be the perfect parent.

They did an EEG, several blood panels and a spinal tap while at the neurologists office and so far (with the exception of a few blood panels) everything came back normal. We're still in limbo right now while we wait for the MS panel from the spinal tap to come back. I promise I will update everyone here and on Facebook as soon as we know something.

That Post I've Been Promising…
A little over a week ago I put out a plea on Facebook. A plea for prayer. Many of you who follow me on my personal Facebook page know that for the last eight months or so I've been battling long term bouts of vertigo and extreme dizziness and nausea. Dizziness to a point of making several trips to my doctor that eventually led her to put in orders for me to have an MRI. I had my MRI and the results came back with some not so wonderful news...news that could turn our entire lives upside down. Now, before anyone jumps to assumptions, let me say that as of right now they have no reason to think that I have brain cancer or any kind of brain tumor. They didn't find that on my scan.

2013 in Review
Okay. So I'm a little behind on my posting (say 6+ months behind). And I've been completely MIA for a while. But for some reason, fitting blogging into my schedule isn't as easy now that I have two kiddos, a husband, a business to run, and I've decided to go back to school part time. My goal for this new year is to make time once or twice a week to post. I know that I will regret not posting as much for 2013 as I have in previous years since I use this blog as a yearbook/baby book of sorts. Now that 2013 has to a close and 2014 is well underway (is it the 15th already?!), I thought I should do a little recap of what happened around here in 2013. And since "around here" has been pretty ... read more

Yesterday was one of "those" days. You know which ones I'm talking about.

Fussing. Crying. Clingy-ness. Spilled drinks. Lots of crumbs. Tantrums. Meltdowns. Squished chocolate poptart in my couch. Lots of boogers and tissue (since everyone in our house has a cold). There was mean mommy and yelling. There was name calling (Noah did, in fact, call me a booger head when I put him in time out the second time today). By the time bedtime rolled around, I was itching to get the kids to sleep. I ... read more

The Best Six Tips For BBM That Every BlackBerry Owner Should Know
My friend and BlackBerry guru, Al Sacco of CIO, has written an excellent article about BBM that every BlackBerry owner should read. It's about getting more use out of it, avoiding the pitfalls, and keeping your device protected. The article goes into the best way to use your BBM while safeguarding yourself. You're not going to want to miss this.
I have to admit, BBM has come a long ways, and since the leap into 5.0 it's been even more useful. It's probably one of the most favorite apps of the BlackBerry I utilize most. I don't use the phone much, primarily email and BBM. And as Al posted, it's a very valuable tool to keep in touch with your important colleagues, associates, and family members. I know all my family carries one and it's so much easier to stay in touch that way. And if I have a question for a colleague or associate, it's easy to get an answer asap.
So the first tip is this:
Add New Contacts Sparingly
This is the most important part of the article. Add New Contacts Sparingly. Contacts can be added in the following ways: 1) You can share you PIN with someone and have them add you, or vice-versa. 2) You can add contacts by email, using emails associated with your BlackBerry smartphone. 3.) You can "scan" other users unique PIN-barcodes. That is if you are using 5.0.
Your PIN is a unique identification number that is your BlackBerry's alone. You can find your pin in the BBM or if you go to Options/Status. Keep this number as safe and sacred as you do your phone number. Be selective who you share it with, don't post it on public networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and don't include it in your fixed email signature.
You don't have to accept all invites either. Don't worry about hurting someone's feelings, think about your BlackBerry which will thank you later.
To add a BlackBerry contact to your BBM, you click on the bar that says Invite Contact, And you should see the following options:
- Enter a person's email address, PIN, or name (from Contacts)
- Scan a person's barcode
- Select a member from a group
You should see the place for the email, PIN, or name and the message that "(you) would like to add you to his or her BlackBerry Messenger Contact List" This is the invite they get. Then if you have Categories set up, you will be able to choose which category they go in. And then send. If you choose Scan Barcode, it has instructions. The other user must be present or have a pic of the barcode visible, you go through the "scan" and your BlackBerry camera "scans" the barcode and they are entered.
Backup BBM Contacts Regularly
Backing up your BlackBerry should be as routine as backing up your pc. I know I'm constantly reinforcing the use of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and backing up the BlackBerry. For BlackBerry BES users, you can backup your contacts to your BlackBerry device or to your microSD memory card. It used to be that you had to backup all your contacts by the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Now with 5.0, it can all be done from your device. For BlackBerry BIS users, you can backup by the email as well.
To backup your contacts, you can follow the following steps. Click the Options or BlackBerry button, scroll to Options, scroll down to Contact List and you will see Save a copy of your contact list. Click on the button that says Back Up. In Back Up Contact List you will see Back up files remotely, or back up files locally. Remotely will backup to RIM's BBM servers, and it will show all the emails that are on your phone and be sure they all say Registered. That is if you have associated your email(s) with your BBM. If you have and your email says not Registered, just click on it and click to register and an email will be sent to verify and register for your contacts list. Clicking on Local Backup will allow you to choose the Device or the Media Card. You can also Auto save contact list changes. And then click Back Up Now.
So why backup your contacts? What if you have an issue where you have to wipe your device, or have a warranty exchange, or an insurance claim, or even an upgrade into a new BlackBerry. Now you can make sure that you download the new BBM, have your emails accounts on your BlackBerry, and then start up BBM and they will come back.
Be Wary Of BBM Groups…..
With the new BBM 5.0 came the BBM "Groups" option. This is basically a mobile group-chat app. This is a really useful tool. Al points out it's useful for coordinating disparate work groups or for communicating during large conferences or events. I've come to find it useful when you have participants who are engaging. You can post pictures and diagrams, comment on them, make lists, share a calendar, and view your members. it makes an a place to include everyone and work efficiently.
But there's also a drawback. It can affect your device's overall performance, becoming a nuisance and a time drain. This is why. By default, all alerts are on. Every time that someone makes a comment, writes in chat, posts an image, for each of these you are alerted. This can be frustrating but it's easy to fix. I remember one of my groups someone asked about the alerts and I explained where to find it to turn it off.
So here's what you do. Open BBM, go to the group that you want to fix, scroll up to the name and click on it. You can change the Group Icon, for it to show on the Home Screen (I use this, it's easier to get to), Share my Status Message, keep scrolling down, you can set to allow Non-admin Members to Invite Others, Set the Administrator Password, keep scrolling and next are the Group Options. In here you have Notify Group When I Tag A Picture As Favorite, Message List Integration, but the one we are looking for is Turn Off All Notifications For This Group. You can choose No and keep the alerts coming, or Yes to turn them off.
Please be wary of joining too many groups.
Accept File Transfers From Only Trusted Contacts:
This is very important. As Al advised, if you have followed the advice so far, you should have this down. As with pc's and emails, downloading from sites, make sure you are only accepting the files from those you can trust. You can send the following: Picture, File, Voice Note, BlackBerry Contact, Messenger Contacts. Remember that you have to be careful. Corrupted files, offensive images or audio, viruses, trojans, all these things can still potentially affect your BlackBerry device. Especially if you don't have an Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware software app running on your device.
Additional Privacy and Security Safeguards
BBM offers other additional privacy- and security-oriented features. You can choose to enable a security question on BBM invites, and to do this you open your BBM, click the BlackBerry Menu Key, scroll down to Options and click, and just make sure that the "Display security question on invitation" is checked.
On the same screen, you can also uncheck the "Auto-accept voice notes". This will avoid potentially offensive or harmful audio files without you choosing to accept.
You also have the ability to keep your location and your current time zone information private as well. So to do this, open BBM, go to the top bar that has your name (Profile), and click. You can change Display Name, Status, Show What I'm Listening To (check or uncheck), Your Status Message, and see where it says Location and Time Zone with a check box and Show My Location/Timezone Information? You can uncheck it for privacy.
Avoid Using BBM Broadcast Messages..Please
BBM 5.0 grants you the ability to send out the equivalent of an email-blast called a Broadcast Message. Open BBM, click the BlackBerry Menu button, scroll up to Broadcast Message and click. This has a place for Message, and Category if you have them, and allows you to select to whom you send to or all. This feature is not to be abused unless you want to annoy and drive your BBM friends off your messenger. The message shows up in purple and this is the reason that Web-security-software-maker McAffee posted on their Trusted Source Blog about BBM scam and hoaxes.
This might be useful if you want to hit up your close friends with something like "Applebees @ 7 pm" or something to that effect, but not a rumor heard, or hoax, not everyone unless the message applies to everyone. Use this feature with complete discretion. You might see your list go from 10 to 1 if you annoy your BBM privileges.
You can read the article in its entirety here at the CIO page, and for excellent tutorials, how-to's and tips, please go check out Al's BlackBerry Bible. Every BlackBerry owner should have this site bookmarked. Al has the most comprehensive tutorials to help you grow from fledgling to black belt, and be the master of your own device.

This is a young Archbishop.
Keep him in your prayers.
Already, Santone chancery has announced the sixth archbishop's installation date for 23 November... and here, a quote from the Pope's "shock pick," with his reaction on getting news of the appointment:
"I felt a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to serve the people of the Archdiocese. I felt real happiness and joy tempered by a deep awareness of the great responsibility I had been asked to embrace. From the moment I said yes, I felt, in faith, a deep affection for the people of the Archdiocese of San Antonio."Now the 18th Latin-rite metropolitan (of 32) named by B16 since his 2005 election, García-Siller is the second Chicago auxiliary to leave town in just the last six months; the new archbishop's ordination classmate, the "Holy Goalie" Bishop Tom Paprocki, was named to Illinois' capital-church of Springfield in April.

Bill of Sale in TexasPage Overview
The Basics
A Texas bill of sale is simply a statement that a vehicle (or other item) has been sold. This is a useful document when you're buying or selling a car privately, when there isn't as much of a paper trail as there is at a dealership.
If you have a certificate of title, a bill of sale may not be as necessary since the title has a section to fill out when you sell the vehicle. But a bill of sale is one more way of verifying that a sale has taken place, and in some cases this may be useful in proving that you are no longer liable for the vehicle.
What to Include
It's perfectly acceptable to write your own bill of sale. If you do so, it should include:
- The name and address of the seller
- The name and address of the buyer
- A description of the vehicle
- The vehicle identification number (VIN)
- The license plate number
- The date of the transaction
- The previous owner (who the seller purchased it from)
- The amount paid
If you prefer not to write out this information yourself, you may use a form.
Finding a Form
Your local County Tax Assessor-Collectors office may have a ready-to-use bill of sale for vehicles. Jefferson County has a bare-bones bill of sale, for example, that you can use in any county.
Generic Bill of Sale
If you have trouble downloading the Texas Bill of Sale form, we provide links to generic forms from our sponsors.Other Topics in This SectionBe a Hero

Dáil Éireann - Volume 628 - 29 November, 2006
Written Answers. - EU Regulations.
Mr. Callanan Mr. Callanan
Mr. Callanan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food her views on the implementation of EU regulations under her aegis; the discussions she has had at EU level with regard to same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40270/06]
Mr. Connaughton Mr. Connaughton
Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the steps she is taking to address the burden of red tape in agriculture; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40447/06]
Mary Coughlan Mary Coughlan
Mary Coughlan: I propose to take Questions Nos. 18 and 24 together.
My objective on an on-going basis is to ensure that all EU Regulations are drafted in simple and clear terms, that they provide for the appropriate levels of controls in relation to public health, animal health and public finances and that they do not confer excessive administrative or bureaucratic burdens on farmers, the public or my Department. I am fully committed to implementation of the various requirements in an impartial, balanced and practical manner.
I fully support, therefore, the process of simplification that is under way in the EU and I welcome the fact that the incoming German Presidency will give it the highest priority in the first [1400] half of 2007. Earlier in the year, my Department submitted suggestions for simplification to the Commission. I raised the matter with Commissioner Fischer Boel during her recent visit to Ireland in September and I wrote to the Commissioner on the matter on 17 October. Last week, I travelled to Germany for a meeting with my German Ministerial colleague, Mr. Horst Seefoher, who is taking over the Presidency in January next and who has undertaken to adopt the simplification process as a priority during his Presidency.
My Department will shortly be submitting a number of proposals to the Commission for the simplification of the implementation arrangements for the Single Payment Scheme and the system of cross-compliance. I intend to pursue these issues as part of the on-going process of simplification and, as stated, the incoming Presidency are fully aware of my views in this regard.

Example- I Don't Want To Lyrics
Example- I Don't Want To Lyrics
I spotted Miss World too good to be true
But the club was pretty dark and I'd had quite a few
I stagger to her table sipping my brew
But just as I get there she goes to the loo
Impatient bastard now what do I do?
Then I cop her friend and she's alright too
Her arse in good shape above average boat
I ask her name, she sticks 'er tongue down my throat
I'm not one to gloat or boast but take note
Twenty minutes gone and she's getting her coat
So I down my beer – my boys start to cheer
Grin across my face runs from here to here
She gives me the look and I mean the look
Was it love a first sight man or somethin' she took?
A swagger in my step like a crook, then I think
The girl looks shook she's had too much to drink
I look at her eyeballs to see if they're pink
But I don't get a chance cause she gives me a wink
So travel to hers in an illegal cab
Plus I know she's a student her house is drab
In my head I'm laughing, I've put the graft in
Stereos playing some timeless Marvin
The lights dim down and the clothes come off
But I pass out, cause her pillow's too soft
[Chorus: x2]
I don't want
(No no no no)
To be true
(No no no no)
I don't want
To make love to you
I'm up the next mornin, but where the hell's this
I'm trapped in girly purple abyss
It's proving costly she took me hostage
First things first man where's the Frosties?
I slowly tiptoe towards the door
But she grabs my left arm like I've broken the law
Now who am I kidding, I ain't her guest
But she playing like she got me under house arrest
She starts with a speech about how she's feeling
But I'm more intrigued by her lilac ceiling
Any time now there's a question pending
She wants to confirm a romantic ending
Why do they charm you with Hocus Pocus?
I gotta get home for the Football Focus
To dodge small talk I admit defeat
Er how are you for dinner love Tuesday week?
[Chorus: x2]
I don't want
(No no no no)
To be true
(No no no no)
I don't want
To make love to you
As we waited at the bus stop she wanted a cab
But I made her see sense with the gift of the gab
A cab's 20 quid and that's money for us
Plus it's it's one nugget each on the 220 bus
There's one little issue that we gotta address
I got just enough cash for a Pizza express
Even though she's wants Thai Chilli Beef with Mango
I'd be content with some wings from Nandos
We get to express but before we can order
She starts with a tirade that I never call her
I say I'm tryna keep my phone bills smaller'
Try and change the subject- 'have you got taller? '
'Don't gimme that, that's a loada tosh'
She says words like that she's a little bit posh
'All I want El is a call at lunches'
As she keeps ranting the waiter approaches
'Be honest you want this to work or not? '
'Er, doughballs please and an American Hot'
'I'm talking geezer I want to know please'
'She'll have a Caesar with no anchovies –
And two Peronis' he makes a note
I look back at her and she's getting her coat
She heads for the door like a spoilt adult
More food for me ay what a result!
I don't want
[Chorus: x2]
I don't want
(No no no no)
To be true
(No no no no)
I don't want
To make love to you

When I was little, I thought all parents fought like my parents. As I got older, I realized that constantly yelling at each other wasn't normal nor was making insulting comments about one another in front of other people. My parents made themselves miserable, they made me miserable, and they made other people around them uncomfortable.
It wasn't a surprise to me that things finally boiled over. One evening my father handed my mother a divorce decree. He walked down the hallway with his suitcase and stopped at my bedroom. I don't remember what he said but I remember thinking that both of them would be happy in the end.
After my father left, I went to my parent's bedroom. My mother was clutching the divorce paperwork in her hands sobbing. I knocked on the door frame and asked, "Mom can we talk?"
She pointed a finger towards the door and said, "Leave."
I walked back to my bedroom and played video games for a while before going to sleep. The following morning I went down to the kitchen. My mother was making breakfast. She had on an old frayed nightgown that she had worn for years. I didn't say anything to her. I watched her cook in front of the stove. My mom never wore a bra underneath her nightgown because it was too uncomfortable to sleep with one on. Every morning I would watch her cook breakfast for my Dad and me.
Sometimes her nipples were placid, other mornings they were erect and poking out of her nightgown. She didn't have huge or fake breasts like the ones I would see on the internet. They were a decent handful. In the summertime when we had parties at our house, my mom got quite a few stares from guys in her two piece bathing suit.
My mom made me a plate and a plate for herself. We ate in silence for a while. I snuck glances at her face. There were bags under her eyes and her hair was messed up. My mom broke the silence by saying, "Son, I'm sorry for yelling at you yesterday."
I replied, "It's not your fault mom. The divorce is a chance for a new beginning for you."
My mom broke down in tears in front of me. I wiped away her tears with a napkin. My mom pulled me close to her and hugged me. I felt the warmth of her breasts against me. I think the talk and the hug made her feel better. She managed a small smile as she cleared the dishes off the table.
I watched her rinse off the dishes in the sink and place them into the dishwasher. Her breasts swayed freely underneath her nightgown. I started to fantasize about what her breasts looked like and how they tasted if I sucked on one of her nipples. I looked down into my lap at the erection I had formed. Part of me was angry at myself for thinking of my mother in such a perverted manner. The other part of me wanted to sample the forbidden fruit underneath my mother's nightgown.
I wish I hadn't thought of the analogy of forbidden fruit. I imagined my mother's breasts as fruit hanging off a tree ready for harvesting. All I had to do was peel away the protective outer layer and pop it into my mouth. My mom's voice brought me back to reality. She asked, "Is everything alright son? You've been staring at me for the past minute."
My mom was standing besides me with her hand on my shoulder. Her breasts were so close to my face that I could bend forward and seize one of them with my mouth. I was so embarrassed at being caught staring at her that I pulled my shirt over my erection and mumbled, "Nothing is wrong. I was daydreaming."
I went upstairs to my room. My mom went to her room and got ready for work. She poked her head into my room to say goodbye. My mom drove to the broadcast station where she worked as a news anchor. The station manager called my mother into his office and closed the shades. He motioned my mother to sit down.
The station manager said, "Victoria I called you into my office to discuss the renewal of your contract with this station. Your viewer ratings have been steadily going down. This is a cut throat business especially for women. The owners have a young lady in mind to replace you."
My mother was no fool. She had been around broadcast news too long. She asked, "What do I have to do to raise my ratings."
The station manager said bluntly, "The young lady that is going to replace you has smaller tits than you do. I want you to start going braless on the nightly newscast. Unbutton your blouse so you are showing off more cleavage."
My mother was angry that her job was being threatened because she wasn't young anymore. She held back the unfairness of the situation and said, "I'll do it."
She went into the bathroom and removed her bra. My mom sat down in the make up chair staring at her reflection while the stylist worked on her. She asked herself silently, "So this is what is has come down to. I have to show off my breasts to keep my job."
My mother walked over to the set after her stylist was done. The stage hand did a backward count as the teleprompt came alive. The cameraman kept a tight focus on Victoria per the station manager's instructions. He thought to himself, "Look at those tits."
I always watched my mom on television. When I tuned in for that evenings broadcast, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. With the high definition broadcast, I counted the goose bumps around her nipple and how long her hard nipple extended through her silk blouse.
After the stage hand signaled the broadcast was completed, my mother did some paperwork at her desk and went home. The station manager looked at the preliminary market share and saw that the nightly broadcast share had jumped significantly.
On the way home from work my mother let her emotions out. She started crying as she entered the freeway off ramp towards our house. By the time she pulled into the garage and walked into the house she was sobbing. I saw her run past my room with her bra in her hand.
I followed her into her bedroom. She threw her bra at the wastebasket and missed. My mom went inside her gigantic walk in closet and started to toss all of her bras toward the wastebasket. She turned towards me with tears streaming down her face and asked, "Did you see me on television tonight?"
I nodded my head. My mom continued, "How did you like seeing your braless mother on television? Everyone saw that broadcast! I have to show my tits to keep my job."
My mom buried her face in her hands and sobbed, "I'm a whore."
I took my mom into my arms and hugged her. At the far end of the walk in closet there is a full length mirror. I turned my mother around so that she stood in front of it. I reached around and massaged her nipples through her silk blouse. I expected a smack across the face. Instead, my mom kept her face in her hands for a minute or two. She looked at the reflection in the mirror.
I was standing behind her playing with her breasts through her blouse. I whispered into her ear, "You have beautiful breasts mom. You should never be ashamed of them. Look down at your feet. All of those bras you threw onto the floor just hid your breasts."
My moms face contorted a little and then asked, "You think I'm beautiful?"
I replied, "Yes."
I slowly unbuttoned her blouse and then slipped it off her shoulders. Her breasts felt as warm and soft as I fantasized. I turned her around and nursed off of her for a while. My mom must've been getting excited because she turned around towards the mirror. She reached up under her skirt and pulled her panties down to her ankles. She bent forward and offered herself to me.
I entered her with no problem. She was already well lubricated. My mom and dad got into a big fight when they first moved in to our house. My mom insisted that the full length mirror and bright lighting be installed in her walk in closet. My dad pointed out that the master suite had six mirrors already. My mom held her ground and got her way. I'm glad she did. I could see her face in the mirror and watch her tits bounce around erratically as I fucked her. I get annoyed at cameramen who film adult movies when they don't spend enough time focusing on the actresses tits bouncing around.
I feel that is the best part of the movie. My mom took me by surprise when she pulled my penis out of her and spun around. She put my cock into her mouth and swallowed my entire load. My mom cleaned up the mess she made with her sticky cum by licking me clean.
A cat cleans its fur by preening. It licks itself clean. My mom reminded me of a giant cat in heat. When she was done, her saliva evaporated from my pubic area leaving me clean. I returned the favor by inverting her (she is a petite woman) licking her hairy labia. The problem was that my tongue kept making her excited. The more I preened her, the more milky cum she produced.
I don't know how much of her cum I swallowed, but it was a lot. She climaxed about six times before she finally stopped squirting her cum onto my face and mouth. I stood her right side up. My mom saw that my face and hair was covered with cum. She licked me clean.
I helped her pick up all of her bras that were on the floor and straightened up her closet. We took a shower together and then slept in our separate beds. The following morning everything seemed normal. The broadcast station renewed her contract for another two years. She didn't mention what we did in her closet the other night. I figured it was just an emotional release.
I had to work the late shift. When I got home my mother was sitting on the marble floor in the entry way like a cat completely nude. I shut the door quickly so none of the other neighbors would see her. She started preening herself by licking her own nipples. She extended her right leg onto the wall and started to clean her hairy pussy. When she was younger, my mom was a state champion gymnast. She exercises daily and still maintains her flexibility.
My biggest concern was all the glass windows on our house. I never did like that feature. Anyone could look into our house and see my mother licking her own pussy in front of me. I said, "Mom lets go upstairs into your bedroom. I don't want anyone seeing you."
She responded by saying, "Meow, meow."
I didn't have a cat treat on me but I did have a laser pointer on my keychain. As soon as my mom saw the light, she tried to pounce on it. I shined the laser onto the stairs and watched as she climbed them on her hands and knees. When she reached the top of the stairs I picked her up into my arms and rubbed her bare bottoms. I whispered into her ear, "You are such a good kitty."
My mom let out a deep purr as I carried her into her bedroom. We took turns preening each other in the 69 position. Treating my mother like a cat may seem weird to some people but it's her way of releasing pent up emotions. It's a hell of a lot healthier than doing drugs or trying to find a solution to her problems at the bottom of a bottle.
I bought a pink leash at a pet store. When the stress starts to get to my mom, she waits patiently on the marble floor by the door until I get home. Sometimes when I open the door, there is small puddle of milky cum on the expensive travertine tile. I make her lick it up.
I put her leash on her and take her for a walk on the property we have in the back of the house. She likes to have her hairy pussy rubbed while she crawls along the grass. I know she is enjoying the walk when she starts to purr loudly.

Andy Pettitte's Gonna Try This Again
Another time into the breach.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Another time into the breach.
Ho hum, the Yankees just keep cruising.
Brett Gardner might be done for the year.
The Yankees lost Brett Gardner right before losing to the Twins.
Last week, our Baseball Prospectus 2012 arrived. That was a good day.
Was Gardner snubbed?
The Gold Gloves will be given out tonight.
The more hot streaks the Yankees can squeeze out of Jeter in his late 30s, the better off they'll be.
It might be time to drop the "underrated" tag with regards to Gardner.
Gardner has a chance to prove he should be the Yankees' leadoff hitter when Derek Jeter returns, at least against righties.
Our look at the twenty most important players of the upcoming Yankees season continues.
Jermaine Dye's (probably) not walking through that door.
The Yankees aren't going after any of those left fielders? Really?

A flea market on the banks of the Seine, a hotel with crystals embedded into the walls, a sneak peek inside the chic restaurant and store of Ralph Lauren and many many many random things that caught my eye along the streets in Paris.
This is today's DESIGN GUIDE!
Now before you watch, three warnings:
1. Video skills at end of the post leave much to be desired. Some of the videos are so shaky you might get motion sick...and it is hard to hear my voice. I know...same question will come up...why post this then? I know. May I say amateur? Amateur might best describe the whole compiliation. Not an audio/video master piece...but hopefully slightly amusing?!?!@#
2. I am not a decorator or designer, so this is the lay persons design tour of Paris. Have to reiterate and caveat this point for the design pros who might watch this DESIGN GUIDE and be like "What in the world?...This is all that COCOCOZY girl found to talk about when she was in Paris...OMG...!"
3. Long...I know this too. This is a long audio/video post. Hopefully entertaining...or at least entertaining in a perplexing kind of way like, "Why would anyone do this?" type of way or "Why would this girl put all of these photos and videos together and post on Youtube...and then talk endlessly about them? Interesting...must watch to understand this creature." I tried to make it short...but I can't seem to be brief. A problem. I know. I got it. Need to practice not talking, or rambling, or chit chatting or even murmuring for a bit. Sometimes I can tell my friends on the other end of the telephone line are stupefied by my ability to chit chat...in particular my guy friends who are at the other end of the spectrum of not chatting at all!
Okay. So........
I hope you enjoy (or at least get through it)!
Happy Tuesday!

Cash on the hoof
Dennis Meurs, director of business intelligence at MACH, discusses the data roaming revenue generating options available to MNOs looking for new sources of revenue in a turbulent market.
Vodafone moves on data roaming prices
UK-based carrier Vodafone has unveiled a cross border roaming initiative that it says will bring simpler and lower pricing for smartphone and mobile data usage for customers travelling within Europe. Amid regulatory pressure to reduce the retail cost of mobile data usage while abroad, Vodafone said its new, simple and transparent pricing provides daily and monthly rates for customers to use their domestic handset data plans overseas.
EU data roaming regulations and the rise of personalised user policies
On July 1 2009, European Union mobile roaming tariffs regulation came into force cutting retail voice, retail SMS and wholesale data charges across the EU. With the European Commission identifying data roaming charges as a principal cause of bill shock, it is also forcing operators to put strong anti-bill shock measures in place.

Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His
prophets, so shall ye prosper. 2 Chronicles 20:20
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Jeremiah 1:10
1. To speak for God and reveal His purposes. Exodus 3:10; 4:10-17; 7:1,2; Jeremiah 1:7,17; Revelation 1:19
2. To reveal the enemy and his purposes. 2 Kings 6:8-17
3. Sometimes to foretell. Amos 3:7; 2 Kings 17:23
4. To guide and strengthen. 2 Chronicles 20:20; Revelation 12:17; 19:10; 14:12
5. To call God's people to faithfulness. Malachi 4:5; 1 Kings 18
6. To condemn sin. Exodus 5:1; Matthew 14:3,4
7. To provide leadership. 1 Kings 18
8. To teach and preach. Exodus 18:20; 1 Samuel 12:23; Mark 4:1; 6:2,34; Luke 11:1
9. To pronounce God's judgments. Hosea 6:5

A. Prophets who wrote some portion of the Bible, like Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Paul.
B. Prophets who wrote none of the Bible, but whose life and teachings are sketched int eh Scriptures, such as Elijah, Elisha, Enoch, and John the Baptist.
C. Prophets who apparently gave only oral testimonies that have not been recorded. There are many prophets in this group. Numbers 11:24,25; 1 Samuel 10:5,6,10; 19:18-24; 1 Kings 18:4,13.
D. Prophets who wrote books that have not been preserved, including these materials:
He was the ultimate revelation of God (Hebrews 1:1,2), but the Bible
speaks clearly of prophecy after Christ (Acts 2:16; Joel 2:28,29). All
the lists
of spiritual gifts appear
after the death of Christ on the cross (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11,
12:27-31; Ephesians 4:8,11-16). There is a time when prophecyings will
end (1 Corinthians 13:8). The purpose of
prophecy after the death of Christ is to build up God's people into maturity
(Ephesians 4:13; Hebrews 5:11-6:3).

Concurrent Descriptions
Concurrent Session A
A1: Circles of Innovation: Attend this interactive session to explore Circles of Innovation at Valencia. Circles of Innovation is "Where good ideas collide and great discoveries are made possible!" We will examine two case studies that suggest how innovation occurs and how to create the proper pre-conditions for it to occur. Case 1, "Where Good Ideas Come From", suggests that innovation occurs when ideas collide. Case 2, "Don't Be the Lid," examines how to avoid impeding innovation.
- Presented By: Charles Fox, Assistant Director, Faculty and Instructional Development
A2: Time Management: Everyone struggles with battling the clock. Whether you are helping students overcome their time management challenges, or you are facing procrastination in your own lives, there always seems to be a need for more time. Since creating more hours in a day is not possible, various strategies and concepts will be discussed that can help anyone (from students to professionals) maximize their time and increase their personal efficiency.
- Presented By: Chip Turner, Professor, Student Life Skills & Larry Herndon, Professor, Student Life Skills
Concurrent Session B
B1: Navigating Challenging Conversations: Let's just be honest, interactions with students are not always pleasant. There are times when challenging situations will arise. Having the skills to navigate these potentially difficult conversations is critical. This presentation will offer tools and techniques to successfully navigate challenging interactions with students to create a win-win situation.

For developers of the world's tallest Ferris wheel and the city's first outlet mall, two large-scale project scheduled to change the landscape of Staten Island's north shore waterfront in 2016, the clock is ticking to win over community support, especially as the city is set to vote on their plans next month. NY1's Amanda Farinacci filed the following report.
The New York Wheel, the world's tallest Ferris wheel, and Empire Outlets, the city's first outlet mall, are both scheduled to open for business in 2016.
When they do, the developers of both projects say they'll aim for more than just commercial success.
"Each project will be committing $50,000 dollars a year, for a total of $100,000 a year, to non-profit organizations working on the north shore," said Don Capoccia from BFC Partners.
Their foundation doesn't have a name yet, and they didn't say which organizations will benefit, but community activists and church groups, who joined the developers Tuesday, have plenty of ideas for how it should work.
"Unemployment among late teens, early twenties is so high. I mean, those are the people who have to be targeted," said James Samuels from Brighton Heights Reformed Church.
The announcement comes as the city's review process nears an end, with continuing concerns from some nearby residents worried about parking and traffic, along with opposition from union members about the outlet developer's decision to use mainly non-union labor to build it.
Capoccia says 20 percent of the construction jobs will go to Staten Islanders.
"So, if it's 1,200 jobs, it'll be 240 employees from this community, 50 percent of which we've also committed to enroll into the building skills New York program, which is a CUNY construction trades program," Capoccia said. The full City Council is expected to vote on both the wheel and the outlet mall on October 30, giving community groups just over a month to make sure their concerns about the projects are heard.
"A project this big is gonna generate a lot of taxes, money for the city. But will that be re-directed back to Staten Island and the business folks? What kind of incentives will this bring about?" said Bobby Digi from the North Shore Business Association.
City Councilwoman Debi Rose, who represents the north shore, says she's working on these issues.
Rose says the creation of a foundation is a step in the right direction, and it's one of many partnerships she says she expects the developers to forge with the community as the project moves ahead.

Red Army's glory fades
Luding, China
PAUSING with one foot on Luding Bridge, Li Guangshan praises his comrades in China's communist revolution who made the bucking footbridge a symbol of rebel valor. Red Army commandos crawled on the bridge's frame of iron chains, across the roiling Dadu River, toward enemy machine-gun fire in a 1935 assault.
``The attack was so thrilling and inspiring - we really admired the bravery of the Red Army,'' Mr. Li said above the roar of river rapids 50 feet below.
The battle roused Li and other peasants as much as the storming of the Bastille and the bitter winter at Valley Forge steeled rebels in France and America. For decades after the revolution, the Army invoked similar legendary heroics from the 6,000-mile ``Long March'' to maintain its power, surpassed in China only by the Communist Party.
But today, soldiers like Li can no longer rely on combat lore like the Luding battle to sustain their prestige in the torrential change in Chinese social values.
The power and esteem of the military have waned during the 10 years of economic reform. Its fallen status is in part a casualty of peace: China faces fewer military threats from outside than ever before, particularly since it began improving ties with the Soviet Union.
But the Army is also the victim of the internal shift of values and political priorities since 1978, when senior leader Deng Xiaoping subordinated Marxist dogma and revolutionary ardor to his drive to build the economy.
Mr. Deng has cut the military's share of revenue and directed funding to the more productive sectors of industry and technology. He has made the military defer to civilian control, trying to ensure that it no longer uses its power arbitrarily, as in periods since the revolution.
The decline in the military's reputation and influence means that soldiers and veterans like Li can no longer revel in public admiration.
``People aren't as impressed with soldiers as they used to be,'' said Li, a retired deputy battalion commander. In 1945 he slogged out of a paddy field in Henan Province with other teen-age peasants and quit a village militia to join the communist Army.
``When I was young, everyone thought people in the Red Army were supermen,'' he said.

My friend just asked me this. He pointed out that on nutritiondata.com for 100g of hard boiled eggs it has less fat and carbs than 100g of scrambled, but this is also assuming that you are not adding oil or anything to the scrambled eggs, so why is this? Does cooking style change the structure?

This Term in Inquiry, our topic was 'Design'. We could choose from Computer Animation, Toymaking, Food, Fashion and House Design.
Guess what I picked?
LED Text Scroller
In Fashion, our brief was 'Design and create a fashion item by changing an existing item (old or new)'
So I decided to change an old, boring, black t-shirt, into a new fun playful design to wear anywhere.
This was my design.
So we spent three weeks designing, making and evaluating. I loved making my top. Here's an extract from each of my sections.
What product am I designing?
'I am designing a t-shirt pattern made out of a coloured theme of circular buttons around the outside of a material-made heart.'
'What are your steps?'
1. Create design on t-shirt, then applique on.
2. Organise pattern on heart with buttons.
3. Hand sew all of the buttons on!
4. Wear!
'What are the measurements, cost, and length of time you will need to make your product?'
Measurements- Heart, draw on piece of paper, (only half) fold in half, cut around the outline you drew, then put on applique, and cut out applique paper, iron on to material, peel off paper, and iron on to garment!
Cost- FREE! I had everything at home.
Length of time- 2 – 3 weeks
We had to list all the changes from our original design.
Change #1-
I changed from sewing the heart on to applique because…
It was easier and more simple.
Change #2-
I changed the way I was sewing on the buttons to a more complex way because…
They kept coming off.
Once we had finished our product, we had to evaluate everything we had done.
1. How does your fashion item compare with your design?
I think it compares well, because the design and top are the same.
2. Test your item-
I tested it and it fits perfectly and looks great!
3. Is there something special about your design?
I think something special about my design is the buttons because I have never seen anything like it before. It also gives it a personal statement.
4. How could have you improved your design?
I think I could have thought through more of how I would sew on my buttons because they kept coming off until I learnt a new technique.
5. What modifications did you have to make?
Apart from sewing on the buttons differently, nothing.
6. Does your item fit the brief?
Yes. I changed an old black t-shirt into a completely new fashion statement!
What next?
Instead of having a boring old presentation that everyone gets tired of hearing, the teachers decided to have a 'Try, Try Again' Design Expo. Toy Making had a 'Toyworld', Computer Animation had an 'Animation Loop', House Design put everything on display, Food had a cooking process demonstration and guess what Fashion had…
If you guessed a Fashion Show you're right! I walked with Amy and Georgia, and we rocked it! (Click on the links to go to their blogs) Georgia cut and decorated a pair of jeans into shorts, and Amy decorated a pair of jeans with sequins, and she also added some iron ons to a top.
If you watch the video, you can see my design commentary.
Fashion Show! from Gemma on Vimeo.
Afterwards we had fruit punch made by the people in Food Design, then our Inquiry for Term 4 and 2011 was over
Stay Posted,

Legislation Update
Asbestos Bill Faces Uphill Battle
The "Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act" (S. 852) continues to face widespread opposition as it makes its way to the Senate floor. With a divided business community, trial lawyers, asbestos victims groups and many others voicing their problems with the bill, Senate staffers say the chamber may not take it up before the July 4 recess, and maybe not until September, Law.com reports. These groups have also threatened a number of court challenges if the bill becomes law as it stands. A common concern of the various stakeholders is the funding of the $140 million Asbestos Injury Claims Resolution Fund, which the bill would create. While insurers would be responsible for most of the funding, the proposed trust fund also anticipates using more than $7 billion in assets held by bankruptcy trusts for asbestos claimants. The bill requires money in the trusts to be turned over to the fund 90 days after enactment. Prof. Walter Taggart of Villanova University School of Law says taking bankruptcy trust assets also presents a constitutional problem. Read the full article at www.law.com (subscription required).
Senate Democrats Pledge to Work with GOP on Pensions Bill
Democratic senators emerged from a meeting today with business and labor leaders pledging to work with Republican chairmen in developing pension legislation, CongressDaily reported. During the meeting, business and labor officials were mostly united in their opposition to the administration's plan for fixing the pension system, according to meeting participants, the newswire reported. That proposal called for companies that sponsor traditional pension plans to increase their contributions. Labor fears that a sudden mandated increase of payments to pension plans might prompt companies to drop their retirement plans altogether. Meeting participants agreed that a bill (H.R. 2830) introduced by House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Boehner (R–Ohio) is an improvement over the president's plan, although it still goes too far in requiring companies to boost pension contributions. The House is planning to include its bill as part of a legislative package that includes an overhaul of Social Security.
Health, Education, Labor and Pensions ranking member Edward Kennedy (D–Mass.) criticized the "yield curve" formula included in the president's plan and, in a modified form, Boehner's bill. That plan would set a new interest rate that companies would use to calculate their pension contributions, based on the ages of employees and estimated time before their retirement. Democrats want to tighten funding requirements for companies but prefer to do that in a "gradual, fair way," a Democratic staffer said. Democrats also embraced proposals to give additional pension breaks to troubled airline and steel industries. Any bill Congress adopts should "provide targeted solutions to unique airline and steel industry pressures," according to a list of principles circulated this morning that Democrats agreed should be part of pension overhaul.
New Study Claims Business Bankruptcies Much Higher Than Reported
A study released yesterday alleges that official government statistics vastly undercount business bankruptcies. The study—by Profs. Elizabeth Warren of Harvard and Robert Lawless of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas—estimates that 19.5 percent of filings are at least partly business-related, versus the 2.3 percent rate given by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Nearly 300,000 small business cases are miscounted as a result. Funded by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the researchers claim the new findings present a skewed picture of entrepreneurship in the United States as well as the potential impact the new bankruptcy law will have on small business development. The article, "The Myth of the Disappearing Business Bankruptcy," will appear in the California Law Review, and is available at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation's web site.
A summary of the findings appears on USA Today's web site.

Yep – that's right – it's September – let the count down begin!! Classes start on Sept 25th – and one of my classes still doesn't have an instructor listed!
3 comments
Sept. 25?! You must be on the quarter system.
We start on Monday, Labor Day, just like always. My I just say "AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
hehe – yes we are on a quarter system – and sorry you have to start on a holiday
Nicole –
I just finished my second class at Drexel and am looking forward to having three weeks off until next quarter begins. I'm really interested to learn who the professor was that people told you to avoid!
I'm starting really slowly and taking one course per quarter – I feel like a slacker compared to some (and you with your 3!) but I wanted to get a feel for how I would like online courses.
Good luck in your first quarter!

After last week's record-breaking Easter, look for things to slow down a bit at the box office, as the short lull before the summer season brings only one new release with any real heat, the Ashley Judd/Morgan Freeman drama ''High Crimes.''
Still, expect Jodie Foster to remain in the top slot for the second week in a row with ''Panic Room,'' which became her all-time best opening last week with $30.1 million. The thriller's B grade from CinemaScore means that a typical drop is in order. A 40 percent decline would result in another $18 million for the film, likely enough for first place.
Judd and Freeman have proved themselves a viable couple with ''Kiss the Girls,'' which debuted with $13.2 million in 1997. Now they're back with ''High Crimes,'' in which the pair work to defend Judd's husband (played by ''The Count of Monte Cristo'' star Jim Caviezel), who's been accused of a heinous war crime. Judd's stock has certainly risen in the five years since ''Kiss,'' so ''Crimes'' could acquit itself with about $15 million this weekend.
Two returning crowd-pleasers are likely to place third and fourth. The computer-animated smash ''Ice Age,'' in its fourth weekend, stands to fall another 35 percent to $12 million, while Dennis Quaid's hit ''The Rookie'' should fall only about 25 percent thanks to tremendous word of mouth, also to $12 million.
And rounding out the top five will probably be the teen draw ''National Lampoon's Van Wilder,'' starring ''Two Guys and and Girl'' cutup Ryan Reynolds. With a gross (in both senses of the word) of about $8 million, it'll certainly do better than ''Sorority Boys.''
That leaves the week's other new wide release, the Barry Sonnenfeld comedy ''Big Trouble,'' outside the top five. Delayed from its original September release date after the Sept. 11 attacks, the ensemble comedy, featuring Tim Allen and Rene Russo, hasn't amassed much buzz and looks to earn only about $6 million. At least the sharp Sonnenfeld will have a big hit three months from now with ''Men in Black 2.''
