Glee Review: Ho, No, Noby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
I don't mean to be a Scrooge, but wow. That was bad. Like, really, really bad. Like so bad that I wonder if Ryan Murphy and company watched last week's Community and then figured they'd create an episode that mocked their own show even more.
Because, seriously people, "Extraordinary Merry Christmas" was a stocking stuffed with everything that can sometimes be wrong with this show.
Here, Rachel, I know you're Jewish and that's been referenced numerous times in the past, but it's Christmas! We're allowed to ignore continuity as long as we sing songs and end on a Hallmark-inspired message!
There was no attempt at a plot whatsoever. There was no building on any storylines. This could have basically been plopped down anywhere in any season. One song started the show, another picked up the moment we returned from a commercial break, a bunch more were crammed into a black-and-white local TV station special that dragged on... and on... and on... and, is it even over yet?
Look, if characters pretending to appear in a Judy Garland/Star Wars-themed holiday show, speaking to a fake studio audience, randomly breaking into song after song after song and telling very bad jokes is your thing, hey, no judgment here. It's the holiday season. I wish nothing but good spirits and good will to all.
But I was just staring at the screen, slack-jawed, amazed this was actually happening. It just kept going and going and going... only for the crew to show up at Sue's homeless shelter (did anyone doubt that would happen?) after the program ended. Why couldn't that have been the plan all along? Who cares about logic??!? It's Christmas! Go buy the Glee Christmas CD, available now, as Fox told us the moment the credits rolled.
I hate to be a cynic, but this was not an episode of a television show. It was a concert. It was an hour-long commercial for that album. It's great all its proceeds go to charity, but just tell me ahead of time where to donate and I'll be glad to do so. There are plenty of ways to give back without randomly dedicating an entire episode of a season to a cause.
It just piled on the holiday covers, one after another, stopping only for Rachel to be the world's most selfish girlfriend, until she finally realized - here's an original concept! - that Christmas is a time for giving and thinking about others. Farewell, earrings and iPod. Hello, predictable Hallmark ending.
I just fail to understand why the show makes ZERO attempt to build a season-long arc. There were even elements in place here. Wasn't Santana's struggle with her sexuality a big deal just a couple episodes ago? Why not continue with that idea, give us a look at her accepting family, or even better, how she's dealing with her intolerant grandmother? Want to send a Christmas message? There you go: Grandma comes around to her gay granddaughter because she realizes what's important. I'm down with holiday sappiness, I just can't comprehend why the writers don't come up with examples of it that focus on characters and plot, as opposed to singing merrily about everything.
I mean, we spent 20 minutes on a PBS special that was intentionally unfunny and which took place because the kids cared more about fame than about assisting the needy. It wasn't enough that they actually made this decision; but the show made us sit through every minute of it, scarcely showing the consequences of their actions. Guilt? A battle between how to best help one's self versus how to help others? Nah, we'll just have them show up at the shelter with a turkey and everything will be fine!
It's Christmas, right? Might as well use this as excuse for Glee to be even more erratic than ever because viewers will just be glad to hear a bunch of songs that remind them of Santa.
Best Christmas ever, Sam? Come on. Don't insult us, writers. This was an example of the worst Glee can be. Saccharine, disjointed, full of itself, music-based. Needless to say, it was not one of my favorite things.
P.S. Aren't Rachel and Puck Jewish?
What did you think of the black-and-white TV special?

I liked it. I don't like episodes that randomly create new couples, change someone's sexual orientation or have Sue do something stupid.
I liked this because it was mostly about the music and the songs were great. No doubt they were hoping to win new fans and not burden veteran watchers with new problems.
With the series as a whole I have some problems now?
Is Shelby gone for good or not?
Will we ever see the other eight members of the TroubleTones again?
Does Rory have to leave in two more episodes?
I think Artie should not be taking the Santana thing so easily. Doesn't he sense that Britney has been lured away by her?
I mentioned in a prior posting that I read a very interesting point the show could have and should have taken IMO for this episode. Since the ND are just back together and it is the first xmas for Wemma, Sue is alone for the first time, Sam and Rory are alone and miles away from family, Quinn and Puck are separated from Beth it seemed like a wonderful idea that Wemma host a family style xmas party for the fore mentioned. The TT are sad and disappointed they disbanded and had to rejoin ND. ND are a full house again with need to share duties of the club, Sue needs to feel a part of something, Quinn although getting better needs to know she has others to turn to who won't look the other way, Puck to join in and help the rest of the ND see that he and Quinn need their friends companionship, and Wemma need to be a part of the show again not wall decorations. Will to be the teacher/ mentor/ and advisor not criticizer of his class. Have a meaningful and funfilled gathering then go to the shelter to help the needy with a turkey to sing. Marty Noxon the writer came to Glee from Mad Men which is set in the 1960's. Wow, IMO her writing is still set in that time period. For Glee the only way one might enjoy that kind of humor as was the Black and White special would be if one was exposed to Charlie Brown xmases or Star Wars stuff. Not all people have been. But I was exposed to the golden oldies of the fifties shows enjoyed them in fact and I still did NOT enjoy that kind of humor. As said before with Glee it's kind of like SNL skits parodies with a sarcastic flair. Most of the time I love Glee's quirky/corniness but this just sucked. I tried to erase the disappointment I felt to accept the nonsense for what it was and try to enjoy that crap. But it is difficult to do when all you want to do is turn the channel, snooze, do emails, answer missed phone calls, write a term paper for the reason for the cause of famine, or go shopping, play WI. Anything to get that whatever that was out of your mind before you go blind. Glee was a good show once season 1 had a message to each episode and that would have been great to have at the end of this xmas episode post Wemma party- a message that it is better to give than receive. Sam knew what was important since he lived through a year's worth of hardship. But half of the episode was on the empty nonsense of the special- total bore. If this is what Marty Noxon has to offer in writing then I'll pay attention to future episodes with her name on it and just DVR it to peruse if it is worth watching. I doubt it will be by this effort. I'm totally unimpressed. The cast did amazingly well with the script that was given to them. Rachel as obnoxious as she could get. Artie as an unlikable cad director. Bits and pieces of screen time to the rest of the cast. Was not balanced and a waste of screen time to the others while busy filming the B/W part that took half of the episode. I'm still pissed that I was dumb enough to sit and watch with bated breath for something worthy of watching be on the TV. I finally changed the channel and watched a really good show. This was the first time I've ever felt that way about Glee. Sure, there have been a spot or two here and there in an episode two or three times in two and a half years of watching Glee-my most favorite show ever. I felt like I wasn't loyal to the show at first then I thought screw this. Glee has been so addicting and is hard to keep away so I'll keep watching and hope the rest of season 3 is ready to pave the way fora successful season 3.
Glee totally sux! I watched most of itcuz nothing else was on. Singing about africa to homeless people is a sick disgusting bad joke. I am sick of the selfish little girls and Clueless, stupid little boys.. It amazes me they are Always up for awards, so many better shows out there!
One more thing. Correct me if I am wrong but, isn't a Glee Club all about music and fun? I for one would rather see a show on television that encourages young people to express themselves and develop their gifts and talents. Yes there is a story in Glee but, it really is all about the music and not being afraid to be who you are no matter what your circumstances in life. Everyone has a gift, if watching Glee has helped anyone to realize their own potential then it has done a good thing.
It is always a surprise to me when a show or a celebrity is doing well instead of celebrating the result of hard work, and further encouraging its success we choose to find a reason to pick it a part and send everyone working on it home.
It eas such an AWFUL episode!I almost sotpped watching but last years was so good I kept hope.HORRIBLE episode
I actually really enjoyed the black-and-white TV special! Kurt and Rachel were hillarious. Yeah, there wasn't much plot but I wasn't bored, not for a second. I wish Santana would get a scene though (still no Britanna kiss!:), but I guess she did had a lot of them in the past few episodes. I really don't think this was a bad episode! I would give it 3 starts and a half!
Everyone in the world is a critic, and most of the critics here have nothing positive to say. The critics always think they can do a better job. No one is perfect. Plots character development are you serious? Television has always had two purposes to inform and entertain. I for one think that Glee does a good job at both informing and entertaining. It is just a television show, the people working the show are having the time of their lives is that such a bad thing? Why can't people just have fun for once?
If you don't like the show write something better see if you can sell it to a network and get people to watch it, but wait that might be a lot of work. Maybe your better off just changing the channel.
Self-indulgent bullshit. That's what Glee has become. Still, viewers will keep coming back until the majority realize it's as unbearable as House is now.
Sorry one more thing ! What did everyone think of "Let It Snow" ?? I can't really decide on one hand I kinda wanted it to be more like "Baby Its Cold Outside" which is one of my favourites, but on the other I liked the new spin on it with a bit faster pace. I'm torn but you gotta love Klaine/Blurt duets!! :)
I dont know it had its moments and the songs were good, but agreed you just sat there thinking ok when is the real glee going to start and suddenly the credits were rolling. What's worse is that they didn't need a christmas episode, they had one last year. If you are going to make another to sing some christmas songs, have a good story going along with it. I did like all the references to past christmas specials (Rachel "All I want is my fair share" any body else catch that from the Charlie Brown Christmas haha) and i did actually laugh at a few of the joke through the episode, especially when Kurt introduced Blaine as his best friend and holiday roommate at the door. Overall not the greatest but not bad!

The immediate thought of the gentle reader regarding risky professions must necessarily turn to those hard physical tasks and of course soldiering. I do not plan to look at the risks of military service in this post, as they are quite apparent and have been addressed ably elsewhere. Instead I plan to focus on the obvious, and less obvious risks at work. I'll start with jobs employing children and work up. Most of the jobs below, bar pinners and climbing boys, were of equal risk to adults as to children.
One of the jobs open to children as young as five years old; cave-ins happened, floods that came up too fast for the steam pumps, if there were any, and of course the perennial risk of fire-damp, impure methane gas, seeping from the fossil fuels within the earth. The greatest risk of this was in coal mines. There were two ways of dying from fire-damp; by suffocation, or by explosion, as methane in the presence of oxygen is explosive. Not until the invention of Humphrey Davies' safety lamp in 1815 was the danger of explosion reduced – always supposing the mine owner invested in the same. Other gases lurked in mines, like carbon dioxide, and sulphur dioxide, and were equally deadly, though they did not explode. The crippling effect to young bodies of the children employed pulling trucks of coal or ore in mines possibly killed as many in a more drawn out way as died in pit disasters, as did dust on the lungs.
Weaving factories
So much has been written about the danger of loss of limb or life to the children and women crawling under the ever-moving looms to clean them, and the terrible lung diseases engendered by the ever-present cotton dust in the air that there is no need to re-iterate them in detail here.
Chimney Cleaning
Although a patent chimney cleaning machine was invented by Joseph Glass, most sweeps preferred to use geese thrown down the chimney with their legs tied, or climbing boys sent up. These boys were indentured servants, essentially slaves, as were some of the factory workers, bound to apprenticeship by parish foundling authorities. They were at risk of sticking in small flues and dying of thirst and hunger, dying of soot inhalation, being suffocated more suddenly by soot falls, and as it was not uncommon for sweeps to drive pins into their bare feet or light fires under them, the chance of sepsis from wounds must have figured in some deaths. Add to this Chimney-sweep's Canker, or cancer of the testicles, and this was one of the more miserable lives to be led. Campaigns to prevent the use of climbing boys were under way, including the publication The Chimney Sweep's Friend and Climbing Boys Album, edited by the radical writer and poet James Montgomery, which included stories and pictures to raise awareness. Picture taken from here shows an impoverished mother apprenticing her young son to a sweep. It took until 1840 to ban the practice, and even them was more seen in the breach than the observance.
Crossing sweeping.
With the amount of debris from horses, sweeping a path for grand ladies with their delicate shoes and long skirts to cross the street, even assuming they were protected by wearing pattens, was a way of earning a vail, or tip as we should call it now, that was preferred by some boys over begging or stealing. This might be a safer occupation if the drivers on the road had been likely to be prosecuted for causing death by dangerous driving; but the instance of injury or death to the lower orders was of little moment to many gentlemen drivers, and of no moment at all to the hackney cab drivers and delivery men whose jobs depended on getting their passengers or deliveries made at the best possible time. Running over a crossing sweeper who failed to get out of the way in time would only occasion any interest to these careless drivers if they had damaged their coach, or paintwork, or upset the horses. Horses will not, at least, generally trample on a human body if they can avoid it, unless trained to do so; but flailing iron-shod hooves when startled might kill without the horse being a conscious participant.
Pin Making
Pins were still made in the same way as they had been for hundreds of years, one end ground to a point, and the other either coiled or covered in a blob of solder. This was a job for children, whose fingers were nimble, working in poorly ventilated areas and breathing in the fumes of the lead solder and flux. As some of the fluxes used from early times contained phosphorous, this was a problem. Lead poisoning was probably going to kill them first, however, as abdominal pain, muscle weakness, memory loss, confusion and then kidney and liver failure set in.
Grinders of both pins and needles suffered from Grinder's asthma too…
Moving on to jobs exclusively adult.
Canal builders
Later, railway builders were subject to similar risks, but at the time, the building of canals was the way rapid transport was being taken across the country. Though stretches of river were used, where new sections were dug, there was always the risk of sections of canal wall falling in, suffocating or crushing anyone beneath them; and when working near rivers, drowning was a real possibility for a population very few of whom could swim. Sudden deluges were not entirely unknown either.
Whether driving the Mailcoach, or a stage coach or a hired hack, or a private coachman, the high perch of a coachman to give him a good view also placed him at risk if anything should overturn the coach; and there was plenty that might. Though the roads had improved out of all recognition since the introduction of the Toll Roads, there were still plenty of ruts and pot holes; and human error, in taking a corner too fast, also played its part. The thoughtless driving of rich maniacs with their souped-up sports cars – read, high-perch phaeton and four – added to the danger, as such sporting gentlemen wanted to go faster than hire coaches or a sedate squire's equipage, and expected other traffic to move to the side of the road for them to pass. Naturally, the side of the road encountered the most extreme camber, and more ruts from farm carts, and increased the possibility of being overturned into the ditch. And this without the 'sport' of 'hunting the squirrel' where feckless brats of the road tried deliberately to put slower traffic into a ditch by catching a wheel with their own, relying on their own speed to avoid any damage. Wheel clips could happen by accident as well, leading to more or less mayhem caused to both parties.
Naturally, being thrown from a seat so high above the road, a driver risked broken bones or a broken neck. Sitting for long hours in the cold in winter, earache, a cold in the head and almost inevitably chilblains were his lot, any one of which might also impair his driving judgement. There might also be floods and snowdrifts, with their attendant dangers, and lightning to contend with, a higher risk then than now. Add to this the possibility of highwaymen, admittedly less by the Regency than in the 18th century, but still a possibility…

The phrase 'as mad as a hatter' originates in the particular dangers that beset those men who made men's hats. It is the response to prolonged exposure to mercury vapour, used in the process of felting animal furs that were used to make men's hats [even if the popular 'beaver' were an inferior and less water-resistant article made of rabbit]. The shyness and neurological problems, headaches, general pain, irregular heartbeat and the shakes were not enough to kill immediately but as pathologic shyness and depression can be symptoms too, suicide and death through lack of self care cannot be ruled out as causes of death as well as mercury poisoning, and tuberculosis caused by the damp conditions in which they often had to work.
Ormolu gilders
Like hatters, ormolu gilders worked with mercury vapour and few survived past the age of 40. France was first to outlaw its use in 1830. The original ormolu, popularised in the 18th century, was a means of binding powdered, high-carat gold in a mercury amalgam to bronze. Silver-gilt was produced in the same way.

Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT) today introduced GoBank, the first bank account designed from scratch to be opened and used on a mobile device. Launching in limited release, with general availability to come later this year, GoBank is fast, fair and feature-rich, allowing consumers to interact with their money in a way that's immediate, intuitive and intimate. In addition to GoBank's consumer-friendly pricing model of no overdraft fees or penalty fees and no minimum balance requirements, GoBank makes it easy to send and deposit money, build a budget and find an ATM, with a massive network of more than 40,000 fee-free ATMs, more than twice the size of Chase or Bank of America2.
As a brand of Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, all GoBank deposits are FDIC-insured. Each GoBank account includes a checking account with a linked Visa debit card and a second integrated bank account called the "Money Vault" that's designed to be an easy way for GoBank members to put money away for savings. Accounts are demand deposit accounts (DDA) with deposits insured by the FDIC and full "Regulation E" consumer protections.
"Until now, banking is one of the few industries in the world that hasn't yet been reinvented by Silicon Valley," said Steve Streit, founder and CEO of Green Dot. "Most people today, and especially people under 40, aren't satisfied with their current banking options. Many traditional bank accounts have long and complex fee schedules with terms and conditions that favor the bank; not the customer. GoBank is made to please the customer first and foremost. GoBank is designed from the ground up to be the bank account for the smartphone generation. Once you start using GoBank, controlling your money becomes as intimate and addictive as checking Facebook or texting friends."
GoBank features include:
- Debit Card Customization: Members can personalize GoBank by customizing the entire front of their Visa® debit card with their favorite photo. They can choose the picture from Facebook, their phone or computer.
- Should You Buy It? Ask the Fortune Teller: "Remember that time you won the lottery? I don't either." This is a response a member might see from GoBank's Fortune Teller if they try to spend beyond their budget. Fortune Teller cross-checks the price of an item with the member's integrated GoBank budget, and if they can't afford it they'll be advised in real-time to pass on the purchase. The budget tool is fun for members to use, with tons of responses that aim to entertain as well as inform.
- Huge Fee-Free ATM Network: Members can withdraw cash from more than 40,000 fee-free ATM locations in the U.S. As a market comparison, Chase and Bank of America each have less than 20,000 fee-free ATMs.2
- Peek at Your Balance Without Logging In: The #1 reason a person logs into their bank account is to check their balance. GoBank allows members to use "Slide for Balance" on the app's login screen to take at peek at their available balance without logging in (members opt into this feature).
- Send Money: Members can instantly send money to friends and family at no charge through email, text message or even a private Facebook notification. Recipients don't have to be GoBank members to receive the money.
- Quick Account Set-Up: Compared to typically long processes associated with opening a traditional bank account, setting up a GoBank account can take just minutes. This includes the time it takes to create an optional custom Visa debit card with a member's own photo.
- Multiple Deposit Options: GoBank has a variety of ways to deposit money into the account. Members can deposit checks by snapping a photo through the app, and they can use a debit card to transfer some money from another bank account. Direct deposit is available for paychecks, federal benefits or tax returns. Lastly, members can deposit cash at select Green Dot retail partner locations nationwide - all for free.
- Mobile Checkbook and Bill Pay: Members can pay any company or any person online or on their phone, and GoBank will mail a paper check to any recipient that doesn't accept e-payments.
- Money Vault: The Money Vault is an integrated bank account, with deposits insured by the FDIC, where members can easily put money away for savings. In real time, members can move money from their checking account available balance into the Money Vault for safe keeping. When they want to spend that money, the member can move it back in two taps and it updates their available balance in real time. The Money Vault is free to use and members can move money back and forth as often as they wish.
- Robust Account Alerts: Members can fine-tune a wide range of notifications about their money to fit their needs – with alerts about specific transactions, as well as overall account updates.
"It's not every day that you get the opportunity to bring a Silicon Valley approach to building a bank account," said Sam Altman, executive vice president of Mobile for Green Dot. "Our GoBank product and technology team is populated by digital natives who grew up with the Internet and mobile phones being central to our daily lives. So, our goal was to reinvent personal banking and create a bank account that understands how people in our generation live, work and play and how we think about money. We love using GoBank and we hope that our members will love it too."
State of the Bank – Survey Conducted by Harris Interactive
Illustrating the need for GoBank's unique approach, a survey conducted by Harris Interactive called "The State of the Bank" was released today by GoBank. The survey depicts an America that's very open to a new way to bank. The survey found that almost 2/3 of Americans (64%) say they don't fully trust big banks. The majority of Americans don't feel their bank is transparent (87%) or on their side (68%). In the past 10 years, Americans see Banking as being one of the least innovative industries – only airlines and pet care were seen as less innovative. And, only 11% of Americans say their bank frequently offers new tools or features that they use.
The survey shows traditional banking practices are fading, with 67% saying they write fewer paper checks, and 14% of 18-34 year-olds saying they've never written a paper check. As an indicator of Americans' overall willingness to break away from traditional banking, 65% of people (and 81% of 18-34 year olds) indicated they'd be open to using a bank like GoBank (when presented with a description consistent with GoBank's features). The full national survey results can be found here.
According to a study3 by the Pew Charitable Trust, the average bank had 38 different fees that a customer could incur when using their checking account. And around 90% of all checking accounts had a monthly fee. The median monthly fee in the report was $12 unless the customer carries a sufficient minimum balance, which averaged $2,000.
While GoBank is one of the most feature-rich bank accounts on the market, its pricing is designed to be fair, simple and affordable. As such, GoBank has no overdraft fees and no penalty fees of any kind, ever. Nor does GoBank have any minimum balance requirements. In fact, while the average checking account may have as many as 38 different fees, GoBank has only four fees, which are:
1) Out-of-network ATM: GoBank has a very large fee-free ATM network of more than 40,000 locations. However, if the member uses an out-of-network ATM, there is a $2.50 charge for withdrawals and a $1 balance inquiry fee.
2) Foreign Transaction: If the member uses their GoBank debit card to make a purchase at a merchant outside the United States, there is a 3% foreign transaction surcharge.
3) Custom debit card (optional): If the member wants to order an optional customized photo GoBank Visa® debit card, there is a charge of $9. Of course, there is no charge for the standard GoBank debit card.
4) Monthly Membership (optional): GoBank charges no monthly fee. However, members can voluntarily pay a monthly membership fee in any amount they think is fair, from nothing up to a maximum of $9 per month. Making the monthly fee voluntary ensures that anyone who wants to use GoBank can become a member without being denied access based on their ability to pay. Allowing the customer to voluntarily pay what they think is fair gives the customer the power to "punish" or "reward" GoBank based on how they feel about the product. This provides an emotional benefit for the member because it puts them in control of their bank. Based on our product research, we believe that most GoBank members would contribute monthly if they liked the product.
Become One of GoBank's First Members
Beginning today, anyone can request an invitation to join GoBank (visit GoBank.com and click "Join Now").

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world.

Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Now owned and rebuilt by the energy drink company, the Austrian Grand Prix circuit in the Styria region of Austria is now called the Red Bull-Ring. Austrian radio ORF said that construction work to get the venue ready for Formula 1 next year is now underway. A spokesman for the Red Bull Ring operator Projekt Spielberg GmbH confirmed the report. It was announced in July that Dietrich Mateschitz and Bernie Ecclestone had agreed a provisional deal to return Formula 1 to Austria on July 6 next year. Kleine Zeitung newspaper subsequently reported that the 2014 race will in fact take place a week earlier than that, on June 29. The same newspaper now reports that an embankment on the front straight is currently being removed. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

From the Madone Premier Event.
Ok, the oft-asked, much debated, and a bit confusing question on brake pads came up for me this weekend at a hilly race when a set of Kool Stop carbons squealed like Lindsay Lohan at a Hollywood coke party.
I had run just regular Dura Ace pads on my Hed Stinger 50s with no problem, but understand with the heat and descents they'll melt with disastrous results. So I switched to the Kool Stop and they were fine for the first hour, then the horrible squeal started.
So what do you do? Live with the squeal, use a different pad, what?
Trek launches the 2008 Madones with a brochure site and lots of new technology, including a oversized 90mm wide bottom bracket shell, no headsets, seatmast, new carbon designations, and a fuselage approach. Responding to their competitors, like Specialized, Trek is coming out firing with a "we invented carbon bikes" approach and a frame that's a half-pound lighter
By de-emphasizing specific materials and instead focusing the discussion on our OCLV Carbon process " a process we invented 16 years ago and have been refining ever since - Trek can leverage our manufacturing, engineering, and design expertise to underscore the unique nature of our carbon fiber frames: a difference we're confident makes for the best carbon fiber frames on the planet.
Just last month, I glowingly reviewed the Specialized Tarmac SL, another bike emphasizing technology. I've ridden Madones for years, reviewed them positively, and they're great, solid, racing bikes, but have relied on 16-year old tube and lug technology.

Who's getting whose goat?
Oil and gas industry-sponsored TV ad is fraught with obfuscation and half-truthsBy Caitlin Rockett

Am I stressed?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 02-02-2010 - 11:33pm
This is something I need help with. For over a month, I have been struggling with stomach pain. It's been causing some issues with my gastric health. I don't feel like I am under stress, but I am un-employed, unhappy with where I live, and I am living with my parents and 2 younger sisters. I am 26 years old, and am seriously worried about what is wrong with my stomach. I have seen a Dr., who thinks I have constipation. I am under a lot of pressure to find a job (which I would LOVE to have), but I live in an area with a massive amount of unemployment (not unlike the whole country), so the stress of that makes me crazy.
Am I just wondering, do you think I am stressed? Or am I just crazy?
Any advice or thoughts you have would be amazing. Thank you in advance.
|Fri, 02-05-2010 - 8:33pm
Welcome to the Stress & Woman Board.
Stress can manifest itself in various ways in our bodies.
|Sat, 03-06-2010 - 12:51am
I'm late responding, but I just found this board. Have you been checked for IBS (Iritable Bowel Syndrome)? It can be controlled with diet and excercise. I was also having stomach pains and thought I might have an ulcer, but after seeing my doctor and going over all of my symptoms I was diagnosed with IBS. Stomach pains and feelings of constipation are signs of IBS.
It's been a month since you posted so I hope you have been able to find relief and find out what is wrong with you.

This worked better than fminsearch when used as a damped newton method for finding a root with extremely high sensitivity. fminsearch was overly slow, and often overshot the root, even though the tolerance was high, and fzero didn't work at all. Derivest was fast.
This is the second time I've used great code from John D'Erico.

Does this beast sound like a Harley? Houses in my neighborhood are pretty close together.
I got the 7000/9000 for the same price a couple months back when they came out. The puppy is loud. I'm looking into converting a small shed to be a generator shed, fan/muffler exhaust, etc. Can't find the shed I want, need a relatively big one. I would run this during the day no problem, but neighbors will kill me at night. When I tested it, my chimney blocked the noise very well but pretty loud outside even at a neighbor that is 200 feet away. I might skip the shed and just form a bed of brick or cinder block and mortar around it. These are air cooled so you still need ventilation/fan. One neighbor said don't worry about the noise, we'll be at your house. ;-)
Normally I wouldn't run at night but if its very cold or very hot, or I need a sump pump running, it will have to be turned on at different times. Fuel usage is an issue as well at higher elevations. I do have to say when placed in my garage, it was very quiet, problem is the garage is attached. I'm also having it manually connected to fuse box with some kind of special switch (not a transfer switch).
I was going to go that route, and it always helps some, and sometimes helps a lot, but many threads I've seen folks complain still about the noise. Many point to the engine noise itself, and less than perfect mountings. My fear with changing the muffler is introducing back pressure which would reduce the life of the engine. Once it was in my garage, it sounded great,so instead of a $400 rubbermaid style shed, I may just get some foam insulation with foil backing, MDF plywood, a decent gable or squirrel fan to draw air in from the 'back', and vent air and emissions out the front which will be the noisiest but be facing my neighbor 200 plus feet to my rear. I think if I actually build it and insulate it, it will be fine. Only concern is if a fan quits and you don't know it. So of course I have to add a remote thermometer and maybe something to kill the engine if the heat rises too much. Those fans are pretty industrial though. So many choices so DIY will be tried first as it is the cheapest. Also, many point out how much trouble people go through to get the genset quiet and they should have just gotten a Honda or Yamaha. At around $3K for 3Kwatts, I don't think so. This thing will (if used correctly) run my whole house. Just have to pick and choose which breakers to have on.
By the way, was just at my local Costco had plenty of the 7000/9250 in stock at the same price, but it was amazing what my son and I had to do to get it into a Sonata (it does fit). For free shipping though, I would have jumped all over this one.

The Formalist Approach to Literary AnalysisPaper Rating: Word Count: 485 Approx Pages: 2
There are many approaches to reading and interpreting literature for analysis. One of the more controversial approaches to literary analysis is the formalist approach. The formalist approach to literary analysis emphasizes the objective and literal interpretation of the tone, theme, and style of a literary text. The formalist literary analysis is often referred to as a scientific approach to literature because of the unembellished and literal analysis method that is applied to the written text. Formalist critics do not discuss any elements outside of the text itself such as politics or history. The formalist critic analyzes the form of a text rather than its content.
A precise identifiable tone is critical from
