Artist, director and writer Goulding is a romantic realist. Her work has been compared to Sophie Calle, Patti Smith, Nan Goldin, Bette Gordon and Bernardo Bertolucci by critics, and in Purple magazine wrote "Jem has set about realigning the equilibrium between the male and female divine in her seductive imagery, meditating on beauty and sexuality; without boundaries and without distraction."
Goulding started out young poetess. After graduating from Goldsmith's College, in 2008, the cult journal 'Apartamento' published her poem "Breathing Space". After an influx of demand Apartmento published a second poem by Goulding called 'Window Pain' in 2013, which was nominated for the Christopher Tower poetry prize. Her poems have since gained attention all over the literary and avant-garde world, catching the support of John Malkovich, Pete Doherty and the late Heath Ledger; a friend for who she would later write a eulogy http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/927/1/heath-ledger-remembered.
Like her writing, and films, she takes reportage and situational photographs that explore a freedom of spirit...particular in an anticipated series she started in 2009 called 'The Companion'. A autobigraphy study of her own travel romances, exploring the intense yet transient connections we enter into when far away from home.
In 2011, Goulding made waves with her debut poetry film "The Bone Echo, an experimental adaption of her published text. A genre coined as 'cine-poems' by the i-D magazine, the piece saw her acclaimed as a pioneer in a genre that had been un-chartered since the work of Sylvia Plath in Lady Lazarus. The film starred international super-muses Alice Dellal, Eliza Cummings, and Josh Beech, and features Goulding's narrative; a recital of the text. The film featured an original score by Disappears and Sonic Youth, and was recorded live in Sonic Youth's famous 'Echo Canyon' studios in New York http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/9940/1/exclusive-clip-the-bone-echo.
Marlo Kronberg at Oakazine called the film "a visually stunning paean to animalistic love; an erotically charged, darkly magical statement that effectively gives poetry back to the wild-hearted." Going on to succinctly sum up Goulding's sentiments — "unlike many contemporary poets – aren't couched in esoteric language or paradoxical allusion in order to remain inaccessible. Instead Goulding treats poetry as a glass vessel in which to pour truth; as an art form that everyone can and should understand and appreciate once again." http://oakazine.com/2011/07/jem-goulding/.
2012 and 2013 saw Goulding for 3 awards for The Bone Echo, and set in place visual collaborations with cult musicians of the moment such as Warpaint, SOKO, Savages and Karl Barat.
Her 'Badwater' caused excitement on many art sites when Goulding experimented with three forgotten rolls of 8mm film that had been gathering dust under her bed. She placed the mystery film for sale online on Ebay, giving bands a chance to buy the unprocessed negative admitting she could not remember what they contained. Bands from all over the world made bids, but Goulding's favourite track was one by Chicago blues outfit Speck Mountain who happily bought the footage, and cut a video… http://purple.fr/television/art/fragments-of-a-beautiful-legacy-in-badwater .
In 2013 Goulding made her a long anticipated move into documentary - with her most celebrated display of film making yet, depicting the inner turmoils of Sergei Polunin. Still the only film-maker to earn the controversial dancer's trust, the film caused a massive reaction world wide, with network TV channels in France, Sweden, Russia, Australia and Germany all running reports and excerpts of the film. The full length version of the raw and controversial documentary still doing the film festival circuit with great success including London, Stockholm, San Francisco, Marfa and Seattle.
ran a 6 minute teaser last year http://www.nowness.com/day/2013/8/22/3267/sergei-polunin-the-fragile-balance .
Her latest short film is fictional piece of art house cinema, in collaboration with composer Jamie Lee - the front man of acclaimed British MONEY. The film remains true to Goulding's fearless storytelling, finding beauty and sadness in the uncharted territories of the human heart - a subject that Gouldng explores in her best known 'CITY' , a poem written in fact about the brutality of New York http://www.jemgoulding.com/index.php?/words/the-city/ . This was the poem that bought Lee and Goulding together, realizing that 'City' and 'Goodnight London' where inspired by the exact same kind of isolation; whether the city be New York or indeed, London. Over a first rendezvous to discuss poetry, sex and the painter Eric Fishl (in particular their mutual love of his painting 'Bad Boy') Lee asked her to "make some art" for his song Goodnight London. Goulding also pays a respectful visual and poetic homage to David Wojnarowicz's photographic series "Rimbaud in New York', and like all good art-house films, it also has a French flavor, with the story's lead character played by Parisian rising star Olivier Barthelemy.
Talk of Goulding's solo visual art show 'Promised Land' comprizing of photography, film and sculpture, is immanent on New York's Lower East Side.

- Net interest margin averages 3.91% for the quarter and 4.06% for the year
- Cost of interest bearing deposits drops to 0.31% for the quarter
- Retail banking fees increase $437,000 over prior year quarter on changes in fee structures
- Quarterly mortgage banking revenues increase 23% over same period a year ago
- Nonclassified loans increase 6% for the quarter and 5% year-to-date
- Portfolio loan production climbs 30% over 2011 to $280 million
NewBridge Bancorp ( NASDAQ: NBBC), parent of NewBridge Bank, today announced net income of $4.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. After dividends and accretion on preferred stock, the Company reported net income of $0.19 per diluted common share. For the year ending December 31, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $25.3 million compared to net income of $4.7 million for the prior year. The Company experienced a loss of $1.80 per diluted share in 2012 compared to net income of $0.11 in 2011. The results for 2012 were impacted by the Company's previously disclosed plan to accelerate the disposition of problem assets. Results for the year also include $1.8 million of onetime items to write down facilities and other assets, as well as a $10 million valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax asset. The results for 2011 benefitted from a onetime gain of $2.0 million on the sale of investment securities. On November 30, 2012, the Company issued $56.3 of convertible preferred equity to select investors. Upon approval at a special Shareholders Meeting on February 20, 2013, the preferred shares will convert into 9,601,273 shares of Class A common stock and 3,186,750 shares of Class B common stock.
Pressley A. Ridgill, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The events of 2012, which culminated in earnings for the fourth quarter of $4.8 million, were very positive for our Company. In November we completed a $56 million capital raise, which sufficiently bolsters the balance sheet for the future, including the anticipated repurchase of the $52 million of TARP preferred shares. Classified assets fell by $106 million during the year, resulting in non-performing assets declining to $26.7 million, or 1.56% of total assets at year end. In addition, loan growth trends turned positive as we expanded our loan production teams in the Piedmont Triad and Research Triangle markets and added a Charlotte loan production team in mid-year. Excluding the $81 million reduction of classified loans from asset disposition, nonclassified loan balances increased 5% for the year, or approximately $50 million. Despite our renewed lending efforts, we remained focused on controlling costs and expanding other revenues. For the year, personnel costs increased less than 2% and excluding $1.8 million of onetime expenses in the third quarter, total operating expense declined $1.3 million, or 2.3% from 2011. We experienced increased revenue growth from other revenue sources during the year. Mortgage revenue climbed 53% to $2.6 million, and retail banking revenues made sizable gains in the fourth quarter, increasing 18% over the prior year."

Best of Technical Support
I want to be able to change both the initial message displayed when a user opens an FTP connection to my system and the login message. I know this is supposed to happen in ftpaccess, but I can't for the life of me find the files referred to in the configuration files /welcome.msg and .message. Is it that these files simply don't exist, and the messages displaying are defaults? Help. —Jon Dewey, firstname.lastname@example.com
These files exist in your anonymous ftp area. On Red Hat this is usually /home/ftp. If you place a text file called welcome.msg in that directory, it will appear when someone anonymously logs into your machine. —Christopher Wingert, email@example.com
I can't install Linux due to an MBR problem and the message RAMDISK: Compressed file at block 0.
I have tried to cfdisk but no luck. I tried all sorts of boot/rescue diskettes without luck for two years now.
How can I wipe this hard disk clean before I install RHLinux? —Joseph Lalingo, email@example.com
You can wipe the MBR with lilo -u. —Christopher Wingert, firstname.lastname@example.com
I installed Red Hat 7.0 as a dual boot with Windows 98 on my Toshiba laptop. Now when I boot, I am unable to get to either operating system, just a series of bracketed numbers, and the following message:
Code:89 02 85 c0 74 03 89 50 04 b8 01 00 00 00 eb 03 90 31 c0 c7 Aiee, killing interrupt handler Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task! In interrupt handler - not syncing
I am unable now to boot from diskette or CD-ROM. —Neil O'Connor, email@example.com
Boot your laptop using the rescue floppy created at install time, and run /sbin/lilo. This will reinstall LILO, and you should be able to boot from the hard disk again. —Usman S. Ansari, firstname.lastname@example.com
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

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

The 15 Best Backcourts In The NBA
The engine and brains of an NBA starting lineup rest with the point guard — the orchestrator — and the complementary role often belongs to the shooting guard. When the two talents fit, an NBA backcourt is a bad place to get caught up against on either end of the floor.
With the season right around the corner, and after dropping knowledge on the 15 best frontcourts in the NBA, let's take a look at a few backcourts that will rank at the top of the league. Read More »

Sutro's Glass Palace: The Story of Sutro Baths (Paperback)
Like a majestic ocean liner or a grand hotel, the Victorian-era Sutro Baths dazzled visitors with its over-the-top opulence and its many attractions: seven swimming pools filled with filtered and heated seawater, a museum, restaurants, tropical plants, promenades, and seating for thousands of spectators, all covered by more than 100,000 square feet of glass. The creation of Comstock millionaire Adolph Sutro, the Baths opened in 1894 and ended in fire in 1966. Once the debris was cleared, little remained of Sutro's ambitious structure, which he intended to outshine the baths of Rome. Today, visitors explore its concrete ruins and mysterious tunnels, which are protected by the National Park Service as part of the larger Lands End site. "Sutro's Glass Palace," the fascinating story of a vanished but enduring piece of San Francisco history, comprehensively answers the question, "What was this place?"

I recently ordered a recertified asus router that showed up without the power adapter. Newegg said they would make a 1 time exception and waive restocking fee and return shipping so I guess I lucked out, this time...

Crash early. Turn in right when the prime-time TV lineup is starting. You might have to get up around 10 or 11 for a p.m. feeding, but an early tuck-in could save you from complete exhaustion.
Set his sleep schedule. Newborns sleep 16 to 18 hours a day, but many don't do it at the "right" times. They'll crash all day long -- and then want to stay up for most of the night. To help adjust your child's clock, wake him for a feeding if he's down for more than four hours at a stretch during the day. Once it's night, dim the lights during diaper changes and feedings so he gets the idea nighttime is for sleeping.
Channel the womb. To soothe a baby who can't settle down, rock and sway; it will re-create the sensation of being in your belly. Let her suck a pacifier or your clean pinkie finger, and swaddle her snugly.
Help Baby sleep solo. Your cutie may think the comfiest place to snooze is in your arms, but know that it's worth it to help Baby fall asleep on his own. If he fusses, put him in a swing or wear him in a baby carrier as you walk around the house, instead.

Trees planted in parking area in Canaan
|Tom Zetterstrom, a tree expert and photographer, points out the specially planted trees on the parking lot in the center of Canaan to, from left, Geoff Drury, First Selectman Douglas Humes and Wheaton Byers. Ruth Epstein/RA
CANAAN -- The parking area in the center of town off Railroad Street is green -- at least in its environmental assets.
Thanks to the efforts of several groups and individuals, the space is filled with an assortment of trees that not only enhance the site, but contribute to the health of adjacent Camp Brook and aid in water runoff.

Refineries in the U.S. are processing increasingly heavy sour crudes that contain metals, sulfur, and high molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons. Many sour crude oils originate in the Western Hemisphere, including heavy crudes from Venezuela, southern California, and the oil sands in Canada. Processing and upgrading these heavy feedstocks requires considerable hydrogen, but unfortunately revamping or installing new hydrogen capacity with conventional technologies such as steam methane reforming or petroleum coke gasification can be prohibitively expensive.
TDA Research Inc. is developing a new technology that will allow hydrogen to be produced in refineries at a cost that is considerably lower than hydrogen produced from conventional technologies or purchasing hydrogen from a third party. This technology converts "bottom of the barrel" residuum into hydrogen. In TDA's process, residuum is steam reformed over nickel based catalysts to produce hydrogen without catalyst deactivation and without the need for an oxygen plant; this greatly expands the range of feedstocks that can be used to generate hydrogen. We can steam reform residuum over nickel based catalysts without catalyst deactivation because the system uses a fluidized bed with periodic catalyst regeneration with air. The process is essentially chemical looping steam reforming. Residuum and steam are fed into a fluidized bed reactor containing Ni steam reforming catalyst at 870°C to generate syngas (CO + H2). Because the process uses contact times on the order of minutes, not enough carbon builds up on the catalyst to cause irreversible deactivation. The catalyst is then regenerated by burning the coke with air. In the laboratory, this is done using a single reactor with a nitrogen purge between reforming and regeneration steps; however, in an industrial setting, a circulating fluidized bed system would be used that would be somewhat similar to the early ESSO catalytic cracking reactors. Burning off the coke in the regenerator reheats the catalyst to about 900°C for the next reforming step (a small amount of residuum, heavy oil or other fuel can be added to the regenerator to increase the temperature if there is not enough coke on the catalyst). The hot nickel catalyst returning to the reforming reactor is present as NiO but is quickly reduced to active nickel metal by the hydrocarbons in the feed.
TDA has conducted an extensive series of tests with atmospheric tower bottoms (ATB) and two types of vacuum tower bottoms (VTB). Both VTB samples were solids at room temperature and were heated to be able to feed them into the laboratory reactor. With ATB, it was possible to operate with steam to carbon (s/c) ratios as low as 5. VTB required somewhat higher steam/carbon ratios (6-8). No catalyst deactivation has been observed with ATB or the lighter of the two VTB samples in that no change in product selectivity or yield was observed over 100+ cycles. We are currently investigating other catalysts and a very heavy VTB as well as conducting long term testing (hundreds of cycles).

Our cats love it. We removed one of the ladders to give the cats more room to play
This was surprisingly easy to put together and took about 30 minutes. The cats have accepted it and used various portions, and I liked the fact that it has lots of sisal scratching posts. We have fairly small cats (~8lbs), and the platforms and hammocks are just big enough for them, so I wouldn't recommend this for very large cats. Overall, it's a nice product for the price, and we like the fact that it goes all the way to the ceiling.
I have 6 cats of all sizes and from 1yr old to 17yrs old. Some of my cats are intrigued but to play on it it hard to do. First the circular cubby's are to small even for my 7 pound cat because they put the scratching post inside the cubby's therefire taking up space on 2 sides. This makes it hard to turn around in. Finally the shelves/flat spots on this cat condo are too small for the cats or go at a sharp angle to go from one level to the next.
I have 13 cats (cat ladies rule! :) and all day every day most of my cats are on on this cat tree sleeping or having fun! Most of my cats are HUGE but they still manage to fit in the baskets to take an all day nap and it holdsup nicely with all the romping around. Can't wait to get another one!!!! =] Mary, Mel, Chloe, BunBun, Carmello, Oreo, Shady, Bella, Lola, Trixie, Jake, Paul, and Jake thank you from the bottom of their meow! MOL
Sturdy and well constructed! Climbing kitties everywhere will love this. The price was amazing - a comparable piece in the store was hundreds more.
Hi, I've bought three of the same style cat tree from Go Pet Club since about 2009. The first two where tan in color and lasted two years or more! I only replaced them because they started looking ratty...rope coming off, furry fabric torn, etc. NOW, this BROWN cat tree (same style, different color) has been a disaster from about the first few weeks I received it. As of this date (7/26/2013), we have had the top left pouch (where kitties like to sleep) break off and tumble to the ground! The WAY this pouch is attached now is not the way it was attached on the other two cat trees. The first time it broke in March 2013, I had to pay *** for Part B of FC-101 (style they call it). In May 2013, I AGAIN had to pay Go Pet Club *** for this same part (the rope covered post the pouch attaches too). The Plastic that it is attached with breaks off. First time the kitty came tumbling to the floor. Now, it has broke again in late June 2013 and I wrote the company after a few weeks of not having the pouch on there..and in July they finally sent me Part B without me paying another ***. That was LAST WEEK. The part wasn't on there less than a week...and it is broken again. The kitty that was in it this time weighs all of 6-7 lbs. The company (well, one person from the company) tried to blame the cats saying that they can be aggressive.... That is a bunch of bologney. Poor Ciara is not an aggressive kitty and she's sleeping away when all of a sudden she goes falling to the ground! Not only is this Part B defective...the rope on the cat tree...started coming off only 2 weeks after it was put together. All the lady can say at Go Pet Club is "sorry for this issue...I will provide your feedback to the manufacturer in China." She makes it sound like they went out of their way to sned me PART B for free..when in actuality I not only bought the original cat tree in December 2012, but also had to pay $20 for the same Part twice. it's a shame..because the tan colored ones we had years ago..didn't fall apart like this. My bf said to stop wasting money on these things made in China...that he will make one. It's a big disappointment. Now, I bought one from Kitty Mansions in May 2012..that is similar and it's still in great shape.
My high minded kitties love the top basket. They don't use the whole tree for naps, but they climb it and play on it often. Its tall, but the footprint isn't so bad in my living room. I've already recommended this tree to a few friends and the price is great.

Men of Sister Louisa's House: Elvis, MLK, and Jesus. | Courtesy of Sister Louisa's Church1drink | GO TO CHURCH
Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room & Ping Pong Emporium466 Edgewood Ave. SE (404) 522-8275 sisterlouisaschurch.com
Church is the colloquial name for this zany two-story bar crammed with quasi-heretical folk art—try to imagine a nativity scene atop a beer sign, or a portrait of the Virgin Mary emblazoned with the question, "Who's Your Daddy?" If that's too difficult, just stop in here, where it's all over the walls, just everywhere, and then upstairs is the ping-pong table; you wait your turn while sitting on church pews. It's an altogether strange place, but pleasantly so. Yuengling costs $3, which is nice, and it's not even the cheapest thing on the menu (mac and cheese goes for $2). If the scene inside gets to be a bit much, flee out back and enjoy your refreshments on the patio.

9 Comments on REVIEW: MAGNIFICENT METALS FROM STILA
Beautiful shadows! Even more beautiful tutorial.
Teni, please tell me you've tried the Kitten duo highlighter and Kitten smudge stick as well!! The highlighter duo is STUNNING, the more bronzey side of the duo is just perfection when you have a tan going! I also really like their smudgey cream eye shadow sticks. Kitten is of course just delightful all over the lid, inner corner and extended to the inner lower lash line. My most recent purchase from Stilla is one of their smudge stick waterproof eyeliners in Mint Julip…. The next time you're in Sephora or Ulta do yourself a favor and swatch that specific color… It will knock your socks off! I would LOVE to see a spring look using that liner or something similar! Thanks for sharing love! Xoxox
Love your tutorials and I love the eye shadows you wear them beautifully
SO pretty! I think these would be beautiful to wear for Girls Night Out!

Beauty Vanity
I love these – but I don't understand why they give you so little of the liquid eye primer. I've been meaning to try using the shadows with Fix+.
Teni, inasmuch as you are an animal lover, could you produce a video tutorial utilizing strictly cruelty free products? Perhaps, you could produce one focusing on drug store cruelty free brands and another that focuses on higher end or prestige brands. In so doing, you shall invariably educate and bring awareness to your audience regarding the importance of inner beauty which shall only enhance their outer beauty.
Hello Teni – although this post is regarding eyeshadow..I was wondering, what is your favorite bronzer? I'm not sure whether to go with a shimmer or matte for a more every day look? Thanks for the input! Love all of your beauty videos and blogs!
Ah these are so gorgeous! I've had my eyes on these for quite some time and don't know why I've put off buying them but after seeing your swatches I feel like I definitely need these in my collection now! I love the kitten shade in everything and the metallic rose quartz color looks to die for! Thanks for sharing!

Okay thanks to you girls I have seen some great series on Netflix! We have watched The Sopranos, Mad Men, Justified, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, House of Cards,The Grand and a few other less popular series. We are on the final DVD of The Wire so I need to get something lined up. Has anyone seen Sons of Anarchy and is it good? Anything else you want to recommend?
|Thu, 03-13-2014 - 4:07pm
Have you seen Gilmore Girls? That might have been one of my favorite series, at least the earlier ones.
|Thu, 03-13-2014 - 7:56pm
My dh is the TV junkie in this house. He watched Sons of Anarchy for a couple of seasons. I think it has some pretty violent episodes.
Do you have streaming too or just the discs? I'm looking at his streaming history: Lilyhammer (he liked that one a lot); Alaska the Last Frontier (I even watched an episode of that, its pretty interesting); Continuum (I don't know what that was about but sounds like sci-fi).
They have seasons 1 & 2 of Homeland on discs but not season 3. Dh has been binge-watching it lol. Did you watch The Closer when it was on TNT? I loved that show and planned Monday nights around it. They have all 7 seasons on disc, that could keep you busy for a while!
|Fri, 03-14-2014 - 12:21pm
Damages is truly excellent (House of Cards excellent). The United States of Tara is also very, very good. The first season of The Following was excellent.
|Mon, 03-17-2014 - 11:52am
Thanks everyone! I have loaded up the que and should have plenty to watch for a while. lol

"Why is it that when a black man shaves his head he looks like a super hero, but when a white man does it he looks like a serial killer?"In a show that deals with the police, military, or some other armed force of peacekeeping, there's a very good chance that The Leader of the outfit—or at least the one everybody respects—will be a bald black man. Apparently, there is something about being both bald and black which makes a leader popular enough to be appointed, and that something doesn't work when you only have one of the two. It might be that the image invokes strong masculinity, a no-nonsense "get it done" attitude that lends itself well to the setting. This can also apply to leaders of other sorts of groups as well, as long as those groups are "good." Possibly a form of a Token Minority, if he's the only person of color present. See also Bald of Awesome. His significantly less bald Distaff Counterpart is the Black Boss Lady. Please make sure the character is actually bald when you post him. The buzz cut is quite popular among black men and is not the same thing as having no hair at all, and thus Barack Obama (for example) would not count unless he were to shave his head at some point in his term. There's a lot of space between "bald" and "afro".

Latam Airlines SA (LAN), Latin America's worst-performing carrier this year, rose to a four-week high as JPMorgan Chase & Co. raised its recommendation on the stock from the equivalent of sell.
Latam advanced 1.7 percent to 10,300 pesos at 12:13 p.m. in Santiago, the highest price since March 27 on a closing basis. The benchmark Ipsa index increased 0.4 percent. The airline's American depositary receipts gained 1.2 percent to $21.53. Both the Chilean shares and ADRs fell 10 percent this year through yesterday.
JPMorgan increased its rating to the equivalent of hold, saying the stock's drop in 2013 gives it room to rise toward the bank's target price, analysts Fernando Abdalla, Jamie Baker and Carlos Louro wrote in an e-mailed note to clients. They forecast that the ADR's will reach $25 by December. Latam was formed last year from Lan Airlines SA's $3.3 billion takeover of Brazil's Tam SA.
"We still believe that the current valuation premium to its Latin American peers is a bit excessive due to execution risks related to the Lan/Tam integration," the analysts said.
Latam's enterprise value trades at 12.5 times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and rentals, or Ebitdar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The ratio is 67 percent higher than the average of five Latin American airlines.

I was having this problem after I bought my new computer, but I thought it was my internet. Now I've played at a few friends' houses where I know the internet is good, and I think it's a server problem. I play lots of more demanding games with no issue.
Hope this gets fixed, I want to play.
Same general problem here.

"Guiding Light,'' CBS' 72-year-old soap opera, went off the air on Sept. 21, bringing to a close the oldest running daytime drama in television history, one that had begun on radio in 1937.
But the end of the show does not mean that another one just like it must follow. In fact, its success helped spawn the next generation we known as "reality TV."
Real life is not endless repetition of what went before. Betterment and progress come from improving, improvising and experimenting with what went before. Otherwise, everyone's life would be a continuous re-run.
Here's the odd part. A segment of right-wing thinking actually wants it that way.
That became clear after New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said on "Face The Nation'' that he believed Democrats should take on the Tea Party and address them directly for what they represent, measured against the Democratic performance in the first two years of the Obama administration.
For the sake of a well-rounded political debate, I don't agree with the technocratic issues-and-answers "yes-but" roundtable, liberal-conservative approach. A person virtually needs an advanced degree in a subject just to figure out the trade-offs and what values are in play.
And that spiff about Congress members not reading those mega-page bills (who can read 2,000 pages overnight?) doesn't play, either. Has no one explained that a bill is like a policy and legal blueprint?
Did you read the engineering specifications before you bought your new car? Of course not. You bought the car for certain features and had the usual expectation about the rest, whether two or 2,000 pages).
But the in-your-face verbal assaults over simple matters like this should be in most moderate people's minds when they vote on Nov. 2. A lot more is riding on this election than what is being talked about openly. Don't get me wrong. Not all Democrats have been lame about getting out in front on policy, but too many have.
We have a sick economy for many reason: overly deregulated financing, irrational exuberance, unprecedented income differences now forming rigid social classes, irrational exuberance about war, a 30-year failure to reform schools and colleges or to demand better from them.
During that time, many other countries have made use of what they have and have finally begun advancing economically. In a sense, those improvements have changed the world.
For guidance about what's going on, culture analyst Gary Taylor's 1996 book "Cultural Selection: Why Some Achievements Survive the Test of Time -- And Others Don't" has something to say.
He essentially shows how memory of the past forms how we envision and reshape the present and future. Symbols come into play.
For example, by taking the symbols of discredited characters (Hitler's moustache and the Joker's face), Tea Partiers superimposed them on President Obama's image in order to discredit him and what he represents. A sprinking of venomous words ("socialism") and -- shazam! -- a fiction was created to discredit the present, and to claim fundamentalist ideals instead of adapting, reforming, changing, and rethinking.
Tea Party ideas mostly represent the economic principles responsible for the financial crisis so many households find themselves in and the instability for many businesses.
What the Democrats don't get is that power goes to the one who controls the story and manipulates the symbols. That's what has already happened to them. If you don't believe me, just ask the TP why they blame "government" and not blame "Bush."
Preparing to restore the past will not reshape our country. For instance, can you envision ethnocentrism and the atrocious verbal maligning Latin Americans have experienced with a greater Tea Party attitude present in our politics? What will happen to the three-times-greater trade advantage we already enjoy in Latin America over China with that approach? Will the U.S. shrink in stature in the world map.
In that daytime drama, the Guiding Light's symbol was a lighthouse. If spoiler attitudes prevail, the beacon to the world could very easily become less than the glimmer of a Cub-Scout campfire.

Friends said a woman shot to death by her boyfriend on Sunday had a 9-month-old baby and lived with her mother at the Augusta Avenue home.
Michael Trout, who said he's known Samantha Clark Franco (right) for about 10 years, said she attended Havermale High School but never graduated.
"She was pretty much a street kid," Trout said. "She had a very tough life."
Trout said Franco hadn't been dating her accused killer, Tristen Jordan (left), long. He said he's heard the couple was partying at the home when they got in an argument and Franco asked Jordan to leave. Jordan left, but returned with a gun, Trout said.
Police have not said what led to the deadly confrontation.
"I still haven't grasped the fact that I'm not going to be able to go to her house and see her," Trout said. "I can't even imagine what her mom is going through."

Thomas Henry Hope Thomas Henry Hope (1832-1926) was mainly known for his trompe l'oeil still-lifes, in the style of William Harnett and John F. Peto, his fellow students at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Hope's teacher there was George Bensell. Hope may have been Peto's cousin since Peto's father's name was Thomas Hope Peto. Hope immigrated with his wife and baby daughter from England to America in 1864 and served as a musician in the Civil War. It is believed that h (showing 500 of 3170 characters).

As the years rolled on and the NGfL project gained momentum and the newly arrived network managers began to exert better control over the planning, expansion and budgeting for these annual network upgrades. With the still high costs of tier one vendors; no one could afford to buy HP or Dell, let alone justify buying more from Viglen or RM the smaller local companies began to get a slice of the pie in the supply of desktop computers and servers, often with mixed results. Some were affordable high quality units, others were not and the (usually) cheap components ensured high failure rates. It kept life for all of us old hands both interesting and frustrating in equal measure.
Then in 2003 the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) program was announced. The ambitious scheme to rebuild almost all UK high schools was both well received and criticised in equal measure, praised by politicians of all parties for its ambition to rebuild many older schools which were in a poor state of repair, but equally made many sceptical of just how this could be afforded.
In 2010 the project was officially scrapped by the new incoming UK government as unaffordable it still left some projects underway where contracts had reached financial close i.e. all the agreements had been signed and legally work could not be cancelled. And it was to one of these schools, the Heritage High School in Chesterfield, that EduGeek found itself as a guest of Dell Computers (UK), the IT provider for not just Heritage but a cluster of local high schools including The Bolsover School and Springwell Community College, all built under BSF, to see what they had done in partnership with them and Derbyshire County Council to deliver cutting edge IT equipment, infrastructure and facilities to staff and pupils.
Laying out the IdeasThe schools had started to liaise with Dell as early as 2008 and once the deal for the new build had been reached in 2009 they began to install and implement the infrastructure with a focus on 3 particular areas as Tim Beeby from Dell explained.
- Access to IT IT should be available everywhere possible, not just in selected suites and classrooms.
- Quantity of IT There should be enough computers available that pupils should be able to access IT wherever and whenever they need it.
- Teaching of IT IT should be integrated into as many lessons as possible and through this method, IT is taught throughout the curriculum, not just via a specialist subject.
Judy Matkin, the BSF project manager for Derbyshire county council said that they wanted to ensure the new build networks had no legacy baggage from the older school networks they replaced and so they ensured that their priorities and the essential features of this new infrastructure were:
- Backbone - All networks were kitted out from scratch with Juniper switches working to the latest standards.
- Wireless - Wireless is hugely important and each school has complete coverage both inside the buildings and in selected outside areas via a managed Aruba wireless network.
- Security and integrated systems - All school systems are integrated. From security cameras, door control, printing, library management and canteen purchasing its all run using the same AD authentication.
- Single sign on - All staff and pupils can log onto any system in any school in this BSF cluster (some pupils move between sites for specialist courses) and access any resource with just a single identity, this includes web based services such as the individual schools VLEs and the use of proximity cards for room and resource access.
- Unified communications - All the schools have a UC solution for collaboration between schools and communication with the outside world.
- Any time, anywhere learning - As was mentioned by one of the heads present, this part of Derbyshire gets hit hard by the snow and ice in winter and it is important that even though children cannot get into schools, they can still access the curriculum online via their VLEs.
With an allocated amount of £1450 per pupil to be spent on IT for each build, including staff training and an amount of this top-sliced for specialist projects within each school, such as green screens in Heritage and Macs in Springwell College for example, the schools have gone a long way to ensure that things were done right the first time and not in need of tweaking later.
The ImplementationTim Beeby also went on to explain that it took 84 weeks of discussion to make sure the schools exact needs were met for the period of the 10 year contract as existing IT support staff were TUPED (employment contacts transferred) across to Dell, teacher training on new systems was custom provided and equipment suitable for the task in hand was purchased - such as ruggedized netbooks and tablets for outdoor and school trip use and classrooms fitted with dual use whiteboards and projectors that use the eBeam system so they can be used both interactively and as traditional whiteboards with marker pens.
And it seems to work as Gordon Inglis, the headmaster of The Bolsover School which opened its doors in November 2010, told us they now have whiteboards and projectors in the PE department changing room to assists in discussing and explaining tactics before games which saves time on the pitch and the sports hall even has a screen which has helped them hold a real-time rowing race against a partner school in Texas.
From our point of view the whole setup at the Heritage school came as a pleasant surprise as a quick tour by headmaster Don Spencer showed us. The new BSF funded buildings are not architectural masterpieces with huge glass domes or flowing facades, but well thought out 2 story blocks that give a spacious and airy feel to the site and provide a bright learning environment to the schools 950 pupils. The classrooms even have CO2 detectors in them to automatically adjust the flow of fresh air to ensure pupils can keep attentive in lessons.
Each block is based around an open learning space on the ground floor - each one with tables and chairs for pupils to use as an independent study area. The introduction of individual toilet cubicles with sinks in the corridor, overlooked by CCTV, is also great way to prevent vandalism, bullying and absenteeism from lessons.
And does all of this technology work at a the sharp end where it matters? Well the pupils we spoke to tell us it does. In one classroom we visited pupils were busy taking notes on laptops, shared one between two, and they seemed very happy with the solution being offered to them telling us they liked using the laptops but didnt get to use them as much as they would prefer, which is probably a good indicator of not just how integral IT has become to lessons, but as to a shift in how pupils think they should be doing schoolwork. The pupils we observed in several classes have also come up with an ingenious method of note taking. As the pupils email is provided via Outlook Web Access they take notes via email. Using this method they can easily share them with their classroom partner as soon as they finish the lesson. They tell us it is faster and easier than uploading it to their user areas, and (I dont know if they realise this) has the added bonus of being searchable!
The SolutionSo, down to the nitty-gritty how did Dell provide the solution?
Talking with Tim Beeby and Mike Rendall (Senior Consultant at Dell Services), Dell were keen to provide a solution built around Microsoft technologies and limiting the use of third-party tools or proprietry add-ons as much as possible. At the same time though, Dell were committed to ensure that the Microsoft systems had integration with all the other chosen systems be they access control, printing, library management, etc.
There is essentially three parts to solution Dell-hosted services, school-hosted services and endpoint devices. Each part is described in a little more detail below.
Dell-hosted ServicesIn order to provide shared services between the schools, a number of services are hosted by Dell in a data centre. All these services rely heavily on Active directory (a single domain) and Forefront Identity Manager which uses data extracted from the management information systems (MIS) to poupulate the authentication data across all the services. Exchange 2010 and Lync Server 2010 are also hosted by Dell.
In addition to the authentication and unified communications servers, a number of System Center servers are deployed in the datacentre. These include System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to manage client devices, System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) to monitor the solution and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to manage the virtualised workloads.
Dell also provides backup facilities using System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) for disk-disk-tape backup and archiving. An option was provided to schools to purchase a DPM server to provide disk backup which would then essentially forward the backup to the data centre (disk-disk-tape).
Remote access solutions (VPN for staff and Remote Desktop Services for students) are also provided by the datacentre. Access to these is via Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) and Active Directory authentication.
School-hosted ServicesAlthough the majority of services are managed from the datacentre, several servers are also deployed locally at each school. These services include the following:
- 2-node Hyper-V cluster connected to iSCSI storage
- Virtual servers for Domain Controller, DHCP, DNS, file servers and SQL Server
- MIS server
- Lync Server with media gateway to connect to the local telephone exchange via ISDN30e
- SCCM server as a downstream node of the datacentre SCCM server
- Network Access Protection (NAP) server to prevent unauthorised devices being used on the network
The wired network infrastructure comprises of Juniper EX4200 and EX2200 switches with 2x 1Gbps links connecting each cabinet to the core. VLANS are then used to separate the traffic into logical networks.
The wireless network is provided by Aruba and comprises of 2 controllers (1 redundant for fault tolerance) and thin access points providing 802.11n coverage throught the inside of the buildings. At Heritage High School, they had additionally chosen to provide WiFi coverage in a covered courtyard to cater for outdoor lessons.
Endpoint DevicesAs endpoint devices, Dell provided a range of different hardware tailored towards the kind of usage and situations devices in schools encounter. These included desktops, workstations, laptops and netbooks as well as ruggedized netbooks and tablet computers for outdoor and school trip use.
Every teacher had a laptop which they could connect to the classroom projectors, boards and voting systems. This was also their main device for accessing the Lync communications system. Also notable was the inclusion of a docking station on each teachers desk enabling the teacher to have any laptop instantly connected to the projector to show off pupils work to the entire class. This is very handy for when pupils are working on something complex and needed to display their working.
The pupils have access to laptops and netbooks that are stored in network connected charging trolleys on each floor. The netbook charging solution was particularly clever with units sliding into a dock and clicking into place. Whichever solution, they also allowed for overnight patching and obviously included protection against over-charging.
ConclusionOur day at Heritage High School was certainly a very encouraging eye opener. Largely in part to the time and effort put in by the schools, Dell and Derbyshire County Councils BSF team whose vision and long terms goals have played the deciding factor in the implementation and roll out of solutions and services that will see these schools having the kind of infrastructure, equipment levels and support many schools can only dream of.
These factors will ensure that in ten years time the school we visited will still be offering IT at the level many would expect of up to date high-tech private sector companies. With BSF now cancelled it does leave us wondering whether this kind of network could have become common place in UK schools rather than what may be considered a strange historical anomaly in the evolution of UK schools. It would also be a great shame if the kind of technologies offered in The Heritage High School, Bolsover School and Springwell Community College become the exception rather than the norm. Only time and the future planning and vision of individual schools will tell. All of us now live in an interconnected world, and our schools should reflect this.
