I would like to bring this point out here. "I applaud the Dems for atleast trying to get a bill passed" The Dems could have passed this bill and any other bill. I don't know if you've noticed that the Dems control the House and the Dems control the Senate, also the Dems control the Presidential Office. So stating that the Republicans are the reason this didn't happen is pulling the sheet over your eyes. They didn't have the republican help nor did they need it. Reid (D) had the information typed up before they went on break, stating not to cancel the benefits and they will be extended for another 30 days. Once they got back to their offices after their long awaited vacation. (well that's what they said) If you go back and re-read what happened last February and March then you will see what I'm talking about. The Dems rule Washington DC right now. So how can missing 3 votes be blamed on the minority party. When in everything majority rules! Just a thought!
I agree this bill needs to be processed and passed as of yesterday. I think this is outrageous that these politicians are using people as pieces in their games. Many are in seek of help from the government and yet the government tell those people "we are going on vacation for July 4th, so can you wait until we get back before you feed your family." If funny how they sit in these jobs looking through their rose colored glasses and say "that unemployed people should find honest jobs and that the government shouldn't extend the benefits because we don't want to add to the deficit" It's funny how the deficit was induced by the actions of congress the American people they claim to "feel for." I really wouldn't want to be their worst enemy, if you can leave those you claim to love in the desert with no water. Wonder what you do to your enemy. Shame on you Congress. Shame on this Administration as a whole. Well I guess this is the "Hope" we can believe in.
Is this the hope and change so many voted for?
I blame both the Dems and the Reps. If they really wanted to pass this it would be done.
What really has made me the most upset, and why I changed my party affiliation, are the stupid, crass and down right hateful things some of the leaders have said about the unemployed.
Some one should tell them, not all the unemployed are young, or Dems. Some of us used to be Republicans.
I would really love to know what Sen Judd Gregg will be doing this weekend. I have not spoken with him for a long time. I would love to see him again.

We started looking into homeless shelters when h.r. 4213 didn't pass 57-41.
i pray that this goes through.
This bill also needs to include the extension of the Extended Benefits portion of the old bill. I read the bill and it does not contain any mention of the extended benefits. So those who are on Extended Benefits need to call Stabenows office to include this portion so that it covers everyone who is on unemployment. As it reads now it only covers tiers 1-4, not the Extended benefits.
i just hope the dnc doesnt mess it up by adding crap to it, same as the GOP, all it takes is one retard amendment for them to vote it in , and then its over……………is their any truth to stabenow pulling this out of committee? or is this all a bunch of bs ?

This bill needs to be passed ASAP!! We can bail out billion dollar company's but we cannot help out the little man who has been crushed. People say that this will get people moving to get jobs. We look for jobs but when there are 100 people applying for the same job it makes it kind of hard know doesn't it! Our government let this happen to our country by not controlling what wall street and the mortgage company's but we pay for all of it ! It is time WE got a break! Tell congress to get off there RICH ass and help the people who put them there with votes, not with money from a big company!

I hope they pass this bill this week I have been a month now without anything and the job prospects don't look promising anytime soon the interviews I get I'm either too qualified or don't have the skill set they are looking for. I haven't been able to pay bills, and am almost to the point I can't feed my family. I didn't ask to be out of a job or to be on unemployment but my town is a automotive industry town that got hit hard. The AMERICAN people need help instead of sendng billions to other countries. You work for us congress The AMERICAN people

it is not about sitting and finding the perfect spot on the couch!! You are what makes people on unemployment look bad! We actually need the help not so we can sit on the couch it is so that we can keep our lights on stay in our houses and feed our family's!
- JonathanSauchuk 06/28/2010 5:59pm
thats just stupid!!! I need my benefits to buy gas for car, feed my 1 yr old, and pay rent while I LOOK for a job. Not sit around and watch tv on the couch. People like you are why this bill is not getting passed
- whatsgoingon 06/29/2010 4:32am
You better pray you don't lose your job then have to compete to get a job flippeng whoopers with about 300 other people. 300 other people that use to get paid 3 times as much as Burger King. Not so easy to get a job when all jobs are gone and the competition is so high they throw applications out without even looking at a good chunck. Then you have to pray yours was not the one thrown out.
As a registered voter – and an older, laid off white collar worker looking to jump to the next tier of unemployment next week — I strongly urge a vote on a simplified unemployment extension bill before Congress goes on vacation. Congress can do it if they want to. Without those payments, in weeks, they will come for my car and I will no longer be able to look for a job or even work at Walmart part time. That will affect loans and the car industry. Then my cat will be abandoned for lack of money for food. Animal welfare organizations will begin to be even more stretched. I won't be able to pick up my medications for Type 2 Diabetes. And health care costs for the indigent will go up in the state. Other people have other priorities for those funds. You see, it's not just money for me — it's money for everybody. One day, someone will hire me. But for now, I will remember who did what for me in my time of need — and that will be the person I vote for when he/she needs me!
- smithtownNY 06/28/2010 3:52pm
My entire department was laid off in January, I don't want to be homeless by August. Please hurry and pass this extension. My profession? I sell home and auto insurance to people buying new homes! Gee what are my changes of finding a position before the economy improves? I will lose everything.
- Ktallini36 06/28/2010 5:42pm
Please pass this bill! We NEED it just for the BASIC neccessities. Thank You
I had one month of tier 4 left. So if this 3520 is approved would the one month I have left on tier 4 at least be given to me. I would love to work instead of being in this situation. I got so stressed today all I could do is cry. I look for better days to come but how can I when my bills are past due and barely any food in the fridge. I have no gas in my car and no car insurance at the beginning of the month. With only about $2.00 dollar bills and about $3.00 in coins (no money saved) at least I have my Lord to keep me going.
However I must say with millions of Americans who are in my situation with nothing to lose. Things might get ugly.
Take Care
- neumannwilliam 06/29/2010 11:04am
Their will never be a tier 5. 99 weeks should be plenty to find a new career. This shouldn't be looked at as a handout.
I strongly disagree, how dare you hate on a fellow american in need when they throw our money at corrupt banks, corrupt corporations, and corrupt warlords by the billions. We were intended to be a Representive Republic, for the people by the people, however we can all feel it like a big open sore, they don't represent us anymore.
- carolyn858 06/29/2010 12:21pm
A HANDOUT?? Who the hell do you think you are? All of us have worked our whole lives to earn a living. Part of our taxes that we all paid went to UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, which is exactly what this is. This is not a handout, or charity. Do you honestly believe that the 15 million of us who are unemployed WANT to be unemployed??? you are insane and a selfish bastard.
There are LOTS of people caught in the nightmare and many of them have lost their homes. Others have lost their transportation. Still more wonder how they will feed their families tonight. Believe me, NONE of us want to be in this situation.
So before you spout off another caustic smart ass remark, how about just trying to put yourself in our shoes. But I am sure you think you will never be unemployed. Well, there are lots of CEOs and college graduates who are there now. Not to mention all the other lower folks on the totem pole. But I have a feeling you will find out first hand real soon.
- Abaratarrr 06/29/2010 12:56pm
Can you fit 12 cars in a 2 car garage?
can you please explain how you came to that conclusion being that there has not been one net private sector job created in the last 10+ years yet 150,000 new jobs a month are needed just to account for immigration and the rate of Americans graduating. There are currently 6 people looking for every job available.
If you have a solution I would be glad to hear it, please explain how you get 12 cars into a 2 car garage.
- vote4whoandwhy 06/30/2010 7:41am
a handout and 99 weeks is plenty of what??!!! Go back to hell!!! I am an unfortunate so-called, 99er. I worked all my life since 16, now 42, college educated, I am faced with unemployment since 2008, at no fault of my own! SO GET OFF this site and go play on ICU2.com.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Video of water rescue offers 6 reminders on suicidal subjects
Submitted by:
Cops "routinely" perform heroic, life-saving actions to help citizens facing their darkest hours — people who've lost all hope and seek to kill themselves as a "solution" to their problems.
Cops "routinely" also shun being called heroic for these acts. "I was just doing my job" is the typical refrain.
But such incidents are anything but "routine" — each is unique, and each comes with its own set of hazards to the officers involved.
Search PoliceOne for "police save suicidal man" and you'll get dozens and dozens of examples of such heroics. A couple of months ago, a San Leandro (Calif.) officer saved a man from jumping off a bridge. A few years back, cops in Detroit saved a man who had tried to drown himself in icy waters. A decade ago, Denver cops confronted a bleeding, knife-wielding man, saving him from bleeding to death by his own hand.
From potentially deadly heights to potentially deadly rivers of ice to potentially deadly individuals whose actions are as unpredictable as anything this mortal coil has to offer.
The below video has been around a while, but I want to highlight it in this space because it so exemplifies how a situation can go from being one thing (disarming an armed man) to another (saving that same man from drowning) that it merits our attention today.
Two officers from Lake Havasu (Ariz.) Police Department — both of whom were wearing TASER AXON Flex on-officer cameras at the time of this incident — confront an armed and suicidal man. After one of the officers deploys his TASER ECD, the subject fell into the swimming pool beside him.
Watch to see what happens next, and prepare yourself for circumstances as rapidly unfolding as the one these two coppers encountered that day.
• Keep current on life-saving skills, from CPR to AED to rescue swimming (if that's in your skill set)

I had to spend some time organizing all my Disney info. I've collected over the past year!!

I sort of agree with the pp about the check in time. Although, it does depend on how you are getting from the airport to Disney. Are you taking ME? Or are you renting a car? I've never used ME, since we live here in Orlando, lol, but have heard from others that it can take quite a while to get from the airport to your resort, because they stop at all the resorts of the people on the bus, and it depends on what order yours is in.
However, if you are renting a car, you may be able to get there a bit quicker, depending on how fast your bags get off the plane and to the carousel. I'm assuming that you are flying into Orlando International (MCO), and if you are and are renting a car, there is an exit from the airport directly onto 417, which is the road you would need to take to get to Disney. That part of 417 (between the airport and Disney) usually doesn't have a whole lot of traffic on it, even during rush hour times, but there are tolls that you have to stop for, lol.
As for the parades and such, I really don't know because we never stop for the parades! We use that time when everyone is watching the parades to ride the rides without major lines!
DH and I stayed at POP for our honeymoon in 2007, and we liked the food at the food court. Just be prepared for the long lines at breakfast time! There are a lot of rooms at POP and that means a lot of people in the food court!
|Sun, 02-28-2010 - 9:35pm
We've used ME the last two times into MCO and it hasn't ever been over an hour and a half to our resort so 5pm would be about right from our experience. The last time we used ME we were staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge and the ME bus went to Caribbean Beach then to Pop and then to AKL and we were at AKL about exactly an hour and a half from when our plane landed.
When you are at Pop there isn't really anything else close by but you could catch a bus to Downtown Disney if you wanted to get a little Disney without the parks and you could eat there. They have some good restaurants over there- T-Rex is a favorite of ours. :) Also, if you wanted something to do after dinner you could head to one of the Mini golf courses and play. They are a lot of fun too.
For me, I think the very best parade is SpectroMagic or the Electrical Light Parade-whichever is running when you are there. I LOVE them both. You will probably also enjoy the MK afternoon parade at 3pm. Another of my favorites is the afternoon "parade" at Hollywood Studios- Pixar Block Party Bash. I don't know if Epcot even has a parade-do they? The parade at Animal Kingdom I think I have only seen once, many years ago, b/c we are always on the go tackling EE or taking in Lion King when we are there. ;)
I wouldn't plan on doing anything on the 8th except grabbing breakfast and heading to the airport. If you are on ME they will be getting you about 10am to head to the airport, I believe.
Happy Planning!

Brahm and Swamp merge to form Brass
Marketing communications agency Brahm has merged with its digital agency Swamp, to create a "new digitally-centred integrated marketing agency" called Brass.
Brass: new agency created from merger of Brahm and Swamp
The agency acquired independent digital Swamp three years ago and had previously operated its two brands in tandem.
Brass said that digital would now sit at "the centre of the business" to create a "new unifying brand."
John Morgan, chief executive at Brass, said: "We wanted to create a brand that retained echoes of Brahm and Swamp, and that was strong, clear and straightforward. Brass is all that."
Morgan added: "We're in a very different marketing world to the one Brahm was in when it started out. The internet and mobile technology have changed the way we behave, purchase and interact. Digital is at the heart of most consumers' lives, and so it has to be at the heart of most brands' marketing strategies."
The senior digital team at Brass was boosted recently by the appointment of Mark Kelly, who joined the firm from McCann Erickson as digital solutions director, and who will work across the Brass teams to develop innovative digital campaigns.
Brass employs more than 200 marketing specialists and works with clients including Kellogg's, Warburtons and McCain.
Brahm also bought Ad Workshop, a specialist design and marketing agency to the retail, tourist and leisure markets, in September 2006. The agency will also be merged into the Brass offering.

Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's episode of Scandal. Read at your own risk!
Papa Pope can't be killed! Scandal's slippery head of B613 escaped certain death once again in the winter finale.
Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's episode of Scandal. Read at your own risk!
Papa Pope can't be killed! Scandal's slippery head of B613 escaped certain death once again in the winter finale.
Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's midseason finale of Scandal.
During Scandal's midseason finale, Olivia seemingly left D.C. once again—but this time, it wasn't by choice.
Scandal fans have known all along that Rowan Pope (Joe Morton), the nefarious leader of B613, is not a good guy. Fortunately, Olivia (Kerry Washington), Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Jake (Scott Foley) are all now in the know, too.
After Rowan basically framed Jake for the murders of Harrison (Columbus Short) and POTUS' son, Jerry (Dylan Minnette), Olivia set out to clear her boyfriend's name, finally uncovering the truth that her father was the mastermind behind it all. Why'd he do it? To ensure Fitz would stay in the White House for another four years and allow Rowan to his job back as the head of the country's shady black ops organization.
Four seasons into Scandal and Abby Whelan (Darby Stanchfield) is still somewhat of a mystery. Viewers have slowly learned that Olivia's (Kerry Washington) right-hand woman was previously in an arranged political marriage, in which her husband, Charles Putney (Michael Trucco), physically beat her until Olivia freed her from her wedded nightmare.
There are few people on Scandal who actually wear the White Hat. The main characters of the ABC political fixer drama are a hodgepodge of murderers and cheaters. Hell, even POTUS (Tony Goldwyn) is a killer. And Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) has progressively found it harder and harder to stand in the sun as the seasons go on. So, when all is said and done, what does that mean for the end of the show: Can any of these characters actually get a happy ending?
A Washington, D.C., councilmember says he's in touch with a producer for the ABC TV drama Scandal who'd like to bring the show to the city to shoot scenes in August.
Councilman Vincent Orange says the Scandal shoot would be dependent on continued funding of the city's film incentive program. Scandal is set in Washington but shoots in Los Angeles. READ FULL STORY
With Kerry Washington as host of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, the criticism about the show's lack of diversity — particularly the fact that the program currently employs zero African-American women — was on full display, and the show acknowledged the problem in the opening sketch, having Washington forced to play Michelle Obama, Oprah, and — from offstage — even Beyoncé waiting in the wings.
A message then played over the sketch, saying, "The producers of Saturday Night Live would like to apologize to Kerry Washington for the number of black women she will be asked to play tonight…Ms. Washington is an actress of considerable range and talent and also because SNL does not currently have a black woman in the cast. As for the latter reason, we agree this is not an ideal situation and look forward to rectifying it in the near future…unless, of course, we fall in love with another white guy first." The message? Saturday Night Live (hopefully) got that there's a problem here.
Today, the civil-rights organization Color of Change, which previously wrote an open letter to Lorne Michaels about the lack of black women on the program, released the following statement to EW about how they thought the show addressed the controversy.
Think SNL has diversity problems? Never fear! Next month, the sketch show will welcome a fixer who's sure to set things on the right track: Scandal's cool, collected, white-hat-wearing Olivia Pope, a.k.a. Emmy-nominated actress Kerry Washington.
NBC announced today that Washington will host the sketch show for the first time on Nov. 2. She'll be joined by SNL musical vet Eminem, who will be making his sixth appearance on the show. The rapper's next album, MMLP2, drops Nov. 5.
The week before Washington arrives, SNL will welcome another virgin headliner: Edward Norton. Though Norton has never hosted the show before, the actor has made a few cameo appearances over the years — most recently in 2003. Norton's musical guest will be fellow SNL first-timer Janelle Monáe, whose second studio album The Electric Lady dropped Sept. 10.
Kerry Washington is one of the most fascinating stars to bubble to the surface of Hollywood in recent years.
Though best known for her work in movies, in April 2012, the actress began a relationship with TV viewers thanks to Scandal — the addictive, twist-filled drama from Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes, which will enter its third season this fall. And earlier this year she found herself in a Hollywood perfect storm — she had a hit network TV show and was hard at work promoting Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-nominated Django Unchained, in which she played wife to Jamie Foxx, together the nucleus of the movie's love story.
Washington will be the first to call herself lucky, but she also has her success in perspective. For example, when asked of her best career decision in recent years, she doesn't point to anything professional, instead saying a clear mind is what guides her. READ FULL STORY
Gladiators, it's time to recruit your friends: Despite only 29 episodes of the show complete so far, buzzy drama Scandal will begin airing in repeats on BET, the network confirmed to EW.
BET will air two 14-hour marathons from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on August 10 and August 17. Starting Wednesday, August 21, the series will air two episodes at a time on Wednesdays from 9-11 p.m. The Hollywood Reporter first announced the news.
The show, which will return to ABC for its third season Thursday, October 3, was nominated for an Emmy on Thursday for lead actress Kerry Washington and guest actor Dan Bucatinsky.
ABC's Scandal scored two Emmy nominations this morning, one for lead actress Kerry Washington, who stars as fixer/on-again-off-again presidential mistress Olivia Pope, and one for guest actor Dan Bucatinsky, who recurs as Cyrus Beene's husband, TV journalist James Novack. Before Washington heads to the drama's first season 3 table read this afternoon, she phoned EW for a quick chat.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you find out about your nomination? From Twitter, it sounds like you were flying this morning.
Kerry Washington: I was getting on a plane to fly back to LA from northern California. I was at the airport, and it was that wonderful thing — you know how you're always a little preoccupied at the airport? You're trying to get the right food to take on the flight with you. I had my dog with me, and I had to walk her, and go through security. [Laughs] My hands were full, and it was really nice to be so distracted. And then my phone rang and I saw that it was my publicist/friend Michelle, and I was like, Oh, oh, yeah. Whoa. I wonder what she's calling to say.
Last night on Oprah's Next Chapter, TV maven Shonda Rhimes and EW Entertainer of the Year Kerry Washington sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a wide-ranging chat that covered everything from Scandal and Grey's Anatomy to… a–holes. (Before you ask, yes, they semi-bleeped.)
Below were the five most revealing moments from the trio's chat:
* Oprah learned about Scandal via Twitter. Good work, #Gladiators! Even someone like Oprah, who one would assume is the first to know about pretty much everything, gets TV suggestions via Twitter! "On my Twitter feed, everybody was talking about it, and I was like 'What is this show?!'" revealed O. "So I started watching because of Twitter." Meanwhile, Washington admitted that she only watches Scandal because of the cast's live chats on the social media network. Otherwise, she says, "I don't really like to watch my work when it's done. It's a little bit uncomfortable. I literally watch because I want to be able to chat with the fans." READ FULL STORY

The Sugarland Express (1974)
Critics Consensus: Its plot may ape the countercultural road movies of its era, but Steven Spielberg's feature debut displays many of the crowd-pleasing elements he'd refine in subsequent films.
No Top Critics Tomatometer score yet...
Movie Info
After establishing himself with the classic made-for-TV thriller Duel, director Steven Spielberg was given a crack at a theatrical feature. Adapted by Spielberg, Hal Barwood and Matthew Robbins from a true story, The Sugarland Express stars Goldie Hawn as the wife of convict William Atherton. In danger of losing her child to the authorities, Hawn helps Atherton bust out of jail, hoping that he'll help her keep her baby. Taking police officer Michael Sacks hostage, the couple speeds across America in their beat-up car, followed every inch of the way by a flashing-light convoy of police vehicles. Deceptively light-hearted for the most part, the film unexpectedly--and effectively--deepens into melodrama and tragedy as it draws to a close. On the strength of this film, Spielberg was assigned to a little something called Jaws, while scripters Barwood and Robbins went on to pen the script for the engaging baseball picture The Bingo Long Travelling All-Stars and Motor Kings. … More

Critic Reviews for The Sugarland Express
All Critics (30) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (2) | DVD (16)
If the movie finally doesn't succeed, that's because Spielberg has paid too much attention to all those police cars (and all the crashes they get into), and not enough to the personalities of his characters.
The Sugarland Express is not terribly original - Bonnie and Clyde, Badlands and The Getaway are indelibly marked in its DNA - but shows an already dazzling young filmmaker honing his skills and vision.
Steven Spielberg in Malickland, with dolly and zoom and a wagonload of familial issues
Reflecting the zeitgeist of mid-1970s America, this early Spieleberg picture is still one of his strongest, dealing with alienation, anarchy, and lack of control; Goldie Hawn gives an uncharacteristicaly forceful dramatic performance.
One of the most purely fun and slyly political films Spielberg has ever made. One of Hawn's best performances.
[W]ould be mostly forgotten melodrama if it hadn't been directed by a kid named Steven Spielberg...
Features real attention to the sort of character dynamics that would serve subsequent [Spielberg] titles.
a fine example of the fugitives-on-the-run genre, holding its own alongside Thelma and Louise, Bandits, The Defiant Ones, and to a lesser extent Badlands and Bonnie and Clyde
Masterful command of atmosphere and tone, great, understated performances.
With this first theatrical feature, Steven Spielberg proved he had the right stuff to become America's purest and most accomplished film entertainer.
We can see a little of ourselves in Lou Jean and Clovis, and we wish them the best.
Audience Reviews for The Sugarland Express
While not his first film ever, this was the feature length theatrical debut of a nice guy named Steven Spielberg. Based on actual events, this film tells the story of an outlaw couple who take a highway patrolman hostage in an ill-conceived but desperate effort to keep their child from being taken away from them and adopted. It's not long before they are accompanied by a convoy of law enforcement and media, and stir up support from just about every averge citizen they cross paths with as they journey across Texas.
This film very much fits into the zeitgeist of the time period, and it really reminded me of a movie that was released a year later...a little movie called Dog Day Afternoon. Whereas that film was a brilliant masterpiece, this one is really fun and entertaining, but almost too absurd to really take seriously, even though it is based on real life. Maybe there should have been a couple fewer scenes of cars scrashing or swerving, and a bit more time spent on developing the characters and their personalities better.
The film is uneven and a little rough, but Im not sure who to really blame here. Spielberg had experience making films, so who knows? I will say though that it's cool seeing a pre-Ghostbuster William Atherton, and 70s era Goldie Hawn. They both give pretty good performances (especially Hawn), as do Ben Johnson and Michael Sacks. The music is quite nice, and the cinematography is pretty good too.
Besides what I've already mentioned the film also is a tad unfocused and a bit dated, yet it has a very charming quality to it, and it's certainly not boring. It has some issues, but I like it enough to give it a mild recommendation, so you should give it a shot.

"Every cop in the state was after her. Everybody else was behind her."
Lou-Jean, a blonde woman, tells her husband, who is imprisoned, to escape. They plan to kidnap their own child, who was placed with foster parents. The escape is partly successful, they take a hostage, who is a policeman and are pursued through to Texas...
Although he began his rise with the now-classic 1971 made-for-TV thriller Duel, The Sugarland Express, released in early 1974, is Steven Spielberg's first actual big-screen foray.
Loosely based on an actual incident that occurred in Texas in 1969, the film focuses on a fugitive couple (Goldie Hawn, William Atherton) who kidnap a Texas state trooper (Michael Sachs) at gunpoint and force him to drive them to Sugarland to get their infant son back from a foster home. What ensues, however, is a nearly 30 hour-long chase across southern Texas involving pretty much the entire Texas law enforcement community (and some right-wing gun nuts, too), including a very sympathetic veteran peace officer (Ben Johnson), who realizes that Hawn and Atherton are "nothin' but a couple of kids."
Audiences were led to believe, based on the presence of former "Laugh-In" star Hawn, that The Sugarland Express would be a comedy. But the fact that there is gunfire and action within told them otherwise. There is humor, to be sure, much of it very Southern-fried; but Spielberg ratchets up the dramatic and tragic aspects of the story. For that reason, Sugarland was not much more than a minor box-office hit, more of a prelude to Jaws, which would come out the following year. But as an unconventional road drama and a story about love and crime taken to an extreme, The Sugarland Express is masterful. Hawn got most of the attention, and rightly so; but the really great performance here is from longtime John Ford/Sam Peckinpah veteran Johnson, who is superb as the Texas lawman sympathetic to their cause but sworn to uphold his oath to the state.
A must-see early film from master cinemagician Steven Spielberg.

I was surprised to find out this Steven Spielberg adventure-crime-drama film is based on a true story the couple plan to kidnap their own child, who was placed with foster parents. The escape is partly successful, they take a rookie Texas State trooper hostage. Really interested and excitement. The ending was sad as well, but I won't give it away.
Goldie Hawn's performance is brave, funny and wonderful. In fact, all the acting is excellent, right down to the last two-line player.

Policy on Nashua kindergarten early enrollment pondered
The absence of a policy became an issue when Myra and Elias Nikitas approached the district about allowing their son Andreas to enter kindergarten early. School policy requires that a child must be 5 years old as of Sept. 30 to enter kindergarten, but Andreas doesn't turn 5 until October.
"The (Nikitas) approached me and asked for early admission based upon their belief that their son is ready. Since we don't have a policy regarding early enrollment, I didn't think I have the authority to enroll students early," Conrad said.
Conrad said he asked the Nikitas to address the board's policy committee meeting and state their case. After the Nikitas met with the policy committee earlier this week, the board instructed Conrad to examine the possibility of creating an early enrollment policy.
Thomas Vaughan, chairman of the policy committee, said during Wednesday's meeting that the district should look into creating a policy so the district has the ability to address parents' concerns in a more thoughtful way.
Conrad said he wasn't necessarily asked to create a policy, just to examine whether it would make sense to create one and, if it does, to create an outline as to what that policy would look like.
The district does have a policy that allows parents to apply for early enrollment for their children to go into first grade. Conrad said that it involves an employee evaluating the prospective student to see whether they are prepared.
While saying a potential kindergarten policy wouldn't necessarily mirror the first-grade policy, Conrad said any early enrollment process for kindergarten would have to ensure that a child is socially, emotionally and academically prepared for the classroom.
"It is tougher to evaluate younger children because of their age, but I will talk to members of elementary school and pre-school to see if we can't come up with something," Conrad said.
Conrad added that if the district creates an early enrollment plan, it won't have a large impact on the district.
"That was the concern when we came up with a plan for first grade, and it hasn't impacted the district very much," Conrad said.
After the district devises a plan, which there is no timeline for, Conrad said it would be presented to the board.

Great location. Helpful staff.Posted Dec 20, 2014
Pros: Location. Pretty and eccentric decorating of public areas. Clean. Helpful and friendly concierge (Beatriz "Betty") and attentive staff (Marianne,desk)
Cons: Rooms would benefit from more strategic lighting for reading, etc. A little dim (particularly our first room "Blanca").
Location: Can't beat location.
If you are a relatively inexperienced traveler to Mexico (as are my wife and I), this is a very good choice for location, comfort, and helpful English-speaking staff. Sits right on the park Jardin de la Union which is the center of activity: sunny and quiet in the early day; busy and entertaining in the evenings; great relaxing and people watching here, and it is a real bonus to this hotel's location. Plenty of outdoor dining opportunities around the park. Most tourist sights are in walking distance. Good breakfast included in rate at the hotel restaurant; though, oddly, their coffee is the worst we had while in Guanajuato (and there is a Starbucks right next door!)

スタッフとレストランが秀逸Posted Nov 20, 2014
立地の良さは言うまでもなく、全員女性のフロントスタッフが優秀でコンシェルジュも兼ねており、頼めば何でも良い具合にはからってくれる。 客室は欧米のブティックホテル風。バスタブは無し、バスローブとスリッパは有り。今回は4泊したが、収納スペースが狭いのは残念だった。メキシコらしい佇まいを求める人にはつまらなく感じられる内装かもしれないが、良い意味でのメキシコらしさに溢れているスタッフの対応で十分にカバーされている。 特筆すべきはレストラン(隣のCasa Valadez)で、朝食とルームサービスはここを利用することになるが、何を食べても美味しかった。メキシコ料理は外国人向けにマイルドになっていて食べやすいし、ハンバーガーのようなアメリカ風洋食のレベルがかなり高いと思う。宿泊せずとも食事だけでも利用する価値あり。ただし地元の富裕層に常連が多いようなので、チップの金額と服装に気を付けた方が良いサービスを受けられ快適に過ごせた。 客室にいて外の音が気になる場合は、バスルームの換気用窓を閉めると良い。けれども、広場から聞こえてくる音楽まで含めて、グアナファト滞在の魅力ではないだろうか。

We use mdt and wds for xp.
Evening peeps
Just want to check the following. If I re-build our WDS server to Windows 2008R2 and install the most recent version of WDS, can I then install MDT alongside?
I want to use WDS for deploying our Windows XP .wim image and then MDT in the future when we move over to Windows 7. From what I read MDT does not support dynamic driver provisioning on Windows XP so I am sticking to the image.
However my current WDS server is about to collapse.
We use mdt and wds for xp.
Do you need to use an XP Wim?
We use MDT to deploy XP as a replacement for RIS, the process is roughly the same, you PXE boot to get to the WinPE, select a task and then insert a computer name, the process is then automated just like a RIS build used to be.
The way we have it configured at the moment the build places the computer into the Computers container in AD, we could get it to build into any OU we want but this could interfere with the task sequence. When the build has completed the computer can be moved into the correct OU and any software will deploy as normal via GPO.
Using this method the task sequence will insert the relevant drivers at build time, we can also install important pre-requisites and .exe software such as .net at build time.
Some hardware requires specific drivers for the chipset/sata, using the advanced section in MDT you can create a selection profile which can be used in a custom task sequence to force only the drivers you know work onto the hardware, this is much easier than editing the .sif files you had in RIS.
I have written a Powershell script to set up our environment, this takes pre-configured task sequence files and deploymentshare rules which we know work to provide a uniform configuration. If there is any interest I will make this available once I have stripped out any sensitive info.
Yes you can run both in parallel, MDT is a seporate platform and just makes a nice bootable WIM that you can add as an option to WDS boot. You can keep both running in parallel without any problems at all. My WDS servers have both MDT and generic winpe options and at some point I want to get around to adding WinRE to that list as well which is great for quick repairs.
Just a quick post to close my initial question - we're all sorted here now with WDS and MDT2010 Update 1 running on a shiny 2008R2 server. It all works brilliant.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

Thread: Scottish name brainstorming!
September 1st, 2013 09:03 PM #1
Scottish name brainstorming!
Ok, I'm sure I've made a thread like this in the past but hoping that maybe something will strike my fancy this time. We're due w/ third in March and not finding out gender. We have 2 girls Mhairi and Fiona. A big part of me feels pressured to stick w/ the scottish theme, particularly if it's a girl but I have trouble finding any other scottish names I like! My current girl faves are Sadie, Grace/Gracie, Nell/Nellie, and Eilidh. So only Eilidh is Scottish out of those. Just wondering if people could offer some scottish girl names that might be able to add to the list. thanks!Mom to Mhairi Elizabeth (March 19, 2010) & Fiona Lilidh (Dec 21, 2012) Baby #3 Due March 2014

I'm spending this weekend in SLC. Who's up for joining me for a beer or 3 on Saturday or Sunday? I'm staying at the Springhille Suites downtown. It's about 4 blocks from Squatter's Brew Pub.
EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
I think the pops is coming in to town this weekend, Ed, but he should be off by Sunday afternoon. When do you head out? We'll be skiing all day, but I could probably be talked into a pint or two if the timing works.
I head down to South Jordan Monday for work, so I have the weekend to kill in SLC.
Ok, folks. Time for some beer. I have to drop the car off at the airport, pick up a bidness rental, then I'm heading to Squatters Brew Pub. Ya'll find me at the bar with a pint of dry stout in front of me (in honor of St. Paddy's Day coming up).

The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
Ferrari has got to be a great place to work. In fact, it's named as one of the best places to work in Europe year after year. Add to that the pride of making some of the coolest cars in the business, running one of the winningest teams in all of motorsports (even if the Scuderia isn't doing so well thus far this season) and all around standing for the best Italy has to offer, and you've got the makings of a dream job. And it just got a bit sweeter.
Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The owner of the Howard Cooper Import Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan recently sold his 47-year-old dealership to a new company, but before he did, he took the time to say thanks to his employees. How? Everyone on staff received $1,000 for each year that they'd worked for the company.
Even at a team like Ferrari (which has more grand prix victories to its name than any other team in Formula One – 217 to be specific), every win counts. Especially these days when they're far more scarce than they were in the Michael Schumacher days of back-to-back championships. So when Fernando Alonso took home the checkered flag in Malaysia this past weekend, there was cause for celebration in Maranello.
Ford has announced that it will give both bonuses and merit-based raises to the company's salaried workers in the United States and Canada for the first time since 2008, according to Reuters. On average, the manufacturer will offer a 2.7 percent salary increase based on individual performance. The company stopped offering the bonuses after the financial crisis of 2009 sent automotive sales into a plunge. Ford paid neither bonuses nor merit raises that year, but offered merit raises in 2010. In 2
The government of France uses a "bonus-malus" system to encourage its citizens to go green with their next car purchase. The more fuel efficient a vehicle you buy, the bigger incentive you get. The more gas guzzling a vehicle you buy, the bigger penalty you pay. Unfortunately for France, too many people are buying fuel efficient vehicles and taking advantage of the government incentives, which means income from the gas guzzling penalty hasn't been high enough to make the program budget neutral.
The latest musical theme for Ford workers and shareholders could be Junior Mafia's "Get Money." The Blue Oval just told its salaried employees that 2010 bonuses would average three percent. Not only does that reinstate the bonus system missing for the past two years, it rewards salaried employees the same way it rewards executives. Of course, it depends on the year's corporate and individual objectives being met, but there are few better ways to help ensure targets are delivered upon than by pro

Although the French Minister of Economy complained about the reduction in taxes when the bonus/malus system started in France, the whole scheme is only now getting some changes. How does the system work? When you purchase a car, you have to pay an additional tax (malus) if the car produces too much CO2, or you might get money back from the state (bonus) if it's below a certain amount.
Ford is making significant strides to turn its North American operations around. In 2006, it was able to cut almost 34,000 workers from its payroll after one round of buyouts and is looking to cut even more of its workforce this year through another payoff program that's being offered to 54,000 UAW-represented workers.
While comparing Porsche to General Motors is beyond a stretch, we couldn't help but think about last week's UAW strike against the General while reading about Porsche giving away $7,350 in bonuses to over 8,000 full-time employees. Must be nice to be part of a profitable automaker – even if it's from sales of the Cayenne.
Podcast #60 finds us reminiscing about the Geneva Motor Show. We spend a while talking about what our team saw at the show - standout vehicles, best and worst, most surprising (good and bad) to see in person versus pictures. John presses Damon for information about how some hotly anticipated cars such as the Mazda2, Audi S5, and the M3 looked at our first opportunity to be up close and personal with them. A good long time is spent covering Geneva before we turn our attention to Ford's sale of As
Alan Mulally went to Ford to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and now he'll be able to afford more Hubba Bubba. It's really a stock option bump -- from $5 to $6 million -- as a reward for taking FoMoCo by its earlobes and attempting to drag it out of the mire it's stuck in. We have seen more focus out of Dearborn as Mulally rallies the troops, and the compensation is recognition that the good fight is being waged. Intent on keeping its four-star general focused, the board has also allowed Mulally's
The UAW has been hearing a lot about how the 2007 labor talks will involve tough concessions. Ballooning health care costs and twice as many retirees as active employees result in a $1,500 per-vehicle disadvantage for the Detroit automakers -- these are among the major factors cited for GM's $10.6 BLN loss in 2005 and Ford's $12.7 BLN loss in 2006. Of course, the UAW will point out that poor management decisions and a lack of new products are every bit as much to blame, which is why recent repor

You: Sweet, kind, fit, genuine, independent,...
You: Sweet, kind, fit, genuine, independent, fun, sexy, intelligent, athletic, trustworthy, motivated. You are beautiful to me, have a contagious smile and kind eyes. Gym goer/exerciser without being fanatical, drinker without being a drunk, have a sense of faith without needing to attend service all the time, healthy diet but can cheat without guilt, can communicate without drama. Me: Funny, fit, confident, independent, self sufficient, genuine, romantic, smart, honest, directed, athletic and happy. Two homes, two businesses, one dog, no kids, no baggage. Grew up in Alaska, college in Santa Barbara, lived in Vail, have traveled to 37 countries. Professional photographer, dreamer, lover of chocolate, sushi and all the little things that make me laugh everyday. Us: Amazing chemistry, can't wait to see each other, laugh our asses off, enjoy cooking together as much as a night out, want to build a life, maybe a family and tradition. (I still have the desire to raise a child, but realize that it may not happen) World travelers, love the mountains as much as the beach, spontaneous getaways, knowing glances and stolen kisses. Fitness and workouts are an important part of our daily routine and always desire to keep each other motivated. We do the little things each day to let the other know we care and realize that together, nothing can stop us. If you're looking for a player or a bad boy, I'm not your guy. But if you want confident, genuine, fun, fit, outgoing, kind, honest, respectful and well...normal.... I think you'll find, it will be worth your time. Really, I'm waiting for one amazing woman to come across my path that makes me believe that everything I've been through to this point had to happen in order for us to meet!

Photography is my favorite thing and I feel very fortunate to have it as my career. My favorite guilty pleasure tv shows have been Dexter and Breaking Bad, but I guess I need a new one now! Any suggestions?
For fun..... the gym, the beach, almost any sport, going out downtown or to a game, the live experience (sports shows etc.) movies, traveling......sometimes just being home is the most fun. As long as it's active, i'm all good.
Most of my reading is about some new destination I'd like to visit or photo industry articles, but I'll occasionally get into motivational stuff, or good fiction.
