Bob Moffat Will Drown The Next Person Who Tries To Suggest His Relationship With Danielle Chiesi Was Just About Sex
By Bess LevinDrown them in his tears, that is. (For those of you keeping up at home the answer is yes, this is the second time on record the former IBM exec has cried in public re: Chiesi, the fishnet-wearing analyst he traded all kinds of tips with if you're picking up what I'm throwing down and I think you are.)
In an interview with Fortune, Moffat came across as emotional, repentant, and chastened. He wept describing the embarrassment he'd brought upon IBM, his colleagues, and family. While he showed little self-pity, he rebuffed the notion that he hadn't paid a price for his crimes, noting that by leaving IBM he was giving up an estimated $65 million in lost stock options and pension that he would have collected when he retired at 60. "The biggest thing I've lost," he said, "is my reputation." Moffat was not allowed by his lawyer to discuss his case or his relationship with Chiesi, but when told that Fortune intended to write about the affair, he said this: "Everyone wants to make this about sex. Danielle had an extensive network of business people. And she added clarity about what was going on in the business world…I know in my heart what this relationship was about: clarity in the business environment."
Oh, god, and there's also this:
"Moffat was a number cruncher of the first order: He had been, among other things, the head of IBM's supply chain. Spreadsheets sang to him; he carried three-ring binders stuffed with data about the business. Some people might think his work was dull. But in 2002 he met a hedge fund analyst who found what he did insanely alluring. Danielle Chiesi, a former teenage beauty queen, was a woman for whom business information was the ticket to gratification. She liked older men, and she enjoyed pushing their buttons. "I love the three S's," she would tell them. "Sex, stocks, and sports."
Sex was part of the picture, to be sure, but the dangerous elixir that really bound these people to one another was information. It enriched some of them, it thrilled all of them, and it eventually ruined their careers. Trading business information, Chiesi would say, was "like an orgasm."

Ima say it agin. What about a butt?
Is there some place I can go to taunt Uruguay soccer fans?
I like getting a little clarity in the business environment, too.
This kind of thing would never have happened under my watch.
I like getting some clarity in the copy room.
…and an orgasm was like receiving a virus-infected spreadsheet. You see, it's like the opposite of what you were thinking.
Sodomy, Scarfing and Sissy-boys.
I never thought I'd hear from Plated again.
-Guy who posted on Greedy Associates 10 years ago.
What a loser.
I whispered into Danielle's ear "Microsoft Excel," and she instantly began squirming in her chair, visibly aroused. I told her I'd like to sort some columns later, after which she grabbed me by the tie, ripped the buttons off my shirt, and said "lets sort them here, right now."
I know Danielle from my first internship at Bleichroeder way back when. She did institutional sales and was a notorious whore back then. She would suck any analyst or PM's dick for information or commission dollars. Everyone who stuck their dick in her, I hope they took their penicillin. Ashely Dupree fucked and sucked less cock on Wall Street than her.
10 ftw
Daniele sounds like she got networked pretty regularly. Moffat was a loser. He got led around by his 3rd pinkie.
Chiesi … cheesey chockers
Robert ("Blabber Mouth") Moffat might like to re-write his sordid relationship with Danielle, but the woulda-been IBM CEO should be able to do better than "mere business". Nice try. Blabber Mouth only makes himself a laughing stock. I bet his lawyers could wring his neck on the eve of his September 13th sentencing.
Will we ever get to hear his take on his role in IBM's PONZI scheme – Devon IT v. IBM (June 2010) ??? IBM's execs actions are so bold that Madoff is blushing !

Poor Mark Kurland and Bob Moffat, I am sure this is the first time they have ever stepped out of their marriages… the wall street angels… talk about the double standard here! and who made all the money here???
Bob to Dani: I am looking for some clarification on 2nd quarter estimates…so whip out you left breast.
Dani to Bob: I want to better understand your strategic vision…but put a condom on first
Kurland in the closet, ear to the door and hand on unit: You should more of this Dani- -
Sadly, Bob Moffat has had affairs throughout his career. With his IBM coworkers. This certainly wasn't the first time.
Sadly, his wife over the years has known about said affairs and forgives him over and over…..for all of his misgivings.
Maybe thats why she has been a two pack a day smoker forever.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Treyarch game design director David Vonderhaar has hit back at criticism of the Infinity Ward engine used to power Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
All Call of Duty titles since 2005's Call of Duty 2 have been built with the IW engine, which has been heavily modified for each new series entry.
Some commentators have suggested the engine is outdated, but Vonderhaar doesn't see what all the fuss is about.
"Anybody who comes at the engine needs to remember it's the 60 frames they love in the first place," he told OXM. "And we can make it beautiful - that's through years and years of working with the engine, improving upon it and improving the pipeline and improving our approach, our lighting rendering.
"People like to talk about the engine, but the truth of the matter is that this isn't like something that was invented six years ago. At this point that engine doesn't resemble anything like any engine - we've ripped out the UI system, the rendering and the lighting are all new, the core gameplay systems are all new.
"To me, it's like I never really understood," Vondehaar added. "It runs at 60 and it's gorgeous. What exactly is there to be upset about with the engine?"
Last year Glen Schofield, general manager of Modern Warfare 3 co-developer Sledgehammer Games, also responded to criticism of the IW engine, telling us "this thing is Porsche", as did then-Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling, who told us that, "speaking hypothetically and from a top-line philosophy", building a ground-up engine for the series would be "counter productive".
The list of Black Ops 2 Achievements was recently revealed. There are some potential spoilers in there, so avoid them if you want to stay clean ahead of the Black Ops 2 release date of November 13.

When I was outside yesterday, I noticed my salvia 'Cherry Queen' is blooming. Unless we get a freeze, that thing will bloom until frost. It's the longest blooming plant I have - But the earliest it's ever started blooming before was around mid April. Most years it doesn't start until sometime in May.
I haven't seen any hummingbirds yet but it's good to know I have something blooming for them if they do come around. I'm loving this early spring. Hope we don't get a freeze to ruin it. |

I forgot my Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle has been blooming for a few days and 'Alabama Crimson' Honeysuckle has a few flowers starting to open up. Also - My Red Buckeye has a few flowers starting to open up, but mostly still has buds. I'm ready for the hummingbirds. : ) |

Christie Good for you , about the only thing about to bloom are my honeysuckles coral and major wheeler lots of clusters just not big enough to open just yet. That appears to be the only flowers that might be ready when hummers appear here later this month. Steve |

Freely Redistributable Software is Alive and Well
Finally, here I am on a late night flight on my way back to Seattle so I guess I am done with what I need to tell you about the conference. We intend to keep up on plans for the next Freely Redistributable Software Conference and will let you know about it in plenty of time so you can attend. If you want to rub elbows with some of the important people in the free software movement, get genuinely inspired by the high interest level in Linux, learn something new and maybe drink a real or virtual beer or two, it is the right conference to attend.
The following papers were presented at the Sunday conference. Note that a printed copy of the proceedings is available for $25 (postpaid in the U.S., add $10 for foreign airmail) from Free Software Foundation, 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111. They can be reached by phone at +1 617 542-5942 or fax at +1 617 542-2652.

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.

It's just about every homeowner's dream: an automatic lawn mower. No pushing, no noise, no exhaust, no grass catcher to empty, no groaning kids. You wouldn't even have to be home.
Terry Mammenga had been hoping for something like that for a long time when he stumbled on the Robomow, a fully automatic, battery-powered, lawn mower that uses sensors to identify borders and obstacles such as trees and rocks and works around them.
In fact, he loved his new mower so much, he decided right away to become a dealer.
"We bought our first mower last July and once I got it set up and realized Robomow really does work, I called and got the dealership," he said.
Mammenga runs Envirobotics at 2040 Rosebud Drive, Suite 3, in Billings. He can be reached at 867-2687 or through his e-mail, email@example.com.
Here's what else Mammenga had to say about going from customer to salesman.
Nature of the business:
Envirobotics offers the latest technology in "green" products to improve our lives and to preserve the environment.
Why start this business?
I was looking for a way to care for my lawn that would make my life easier and save me money (use less water, less fertilizer, and it's cheaper than a lawn service). And, it's good for the environment (no gas, no oil, very little noise, and no clippings to haul to the landfill).
Where did startup funding come from?
My wife, Sandie, and I scraped together our savings and bought the first inventory.
Biggest challenges in running the business?
The technology of the Robomow is so new that it has been a challenge convincing people that it really will work. I certainly understand that, because I still find myself sitting there watching it mow my yard and mumbling to myself, "How in the world does it know to do that?" I just love it, and that is part of the fun of selling Robomow, because I know that others will love it too, if I can just get them to try it.
What was done to overcome those challenges?
We have been doing a lot of advertising in the newspaper, local publications and on TV. You may have even seen us on the wall of the restrooms at local restaurants or your favorite bar. We reached a lot of people when we did a demonstration at the fall Parade of Homes, and we had a lot of fun at the home improvement show.
What is being done to expand the business?
We recently got our Web site, www.Envi-Ro-Botics.com, up and working and have already added other green products like our green houses and composters. We also are currently in the final plans of starting a branch in Denver and have plans for branches in Seattle and Minneapolis. We also hope to expand the service and repair to where we can keep four or five service techs on full time repairing not only Robomowers but other tech items as well.
Your best business decisions?
Going for the service and repair business. This, plus the Web page, has brought in business from across the country, and our business has multiplied, especially in the parts and supplies, such as replacement blades and battery packs.
Your worst business mistake?
Starting up a business that sells a new idea when the country is in an economic downturn.
What advice do you have for someone running a business?
Running a business means you have to spend a lot of time problem-solving. Always be prepared for the next problem.
Number of workers?
Counting me, there are four.
What's your five-year plan for the business?
To develop our line of green, work-saving products that will meet our needs and improve our lives.
A question you would ask other entrepreneurs?
What drives you to do what you do? What makes you get up in the morning?
If you weren't doing what you are now, what would be your dream job?
Do you do this? When you are driving down the street, do you check out the business you drive by and say "I think I'd like to do that," or "No, I wouldn't want to try that." Well I do that, and because I do, there are a lot of things I would like to try. I don't "dream" about any of them, but I just wish I wasn't quite so old, because I would like to do a lot more things than I am going to have time to do. Life is good, it's just too short.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in 88 children has autism.
To show support for those affected, hundreds of locals came out Sunday for the Fifth Annual Walk for Autism and Awareness Fair.
Mission Plaza was packed with locals during the event.
The Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center hosted the walk.
Donations from the event will help the center meet the needs of locals affected by autism. They offer a number of programs and services for people with autism, as well as their families.
"There's so many people coming together to support everybody who's affected by autism, and I don't just mean the person who's diagnosed. I mean their family, their friends, their teachers. We've got tons of Special Ed teachers out here. It's just really amazing to see the support, and the whole community coming together," said Julie Miller, Executive Director of the Autism Spectrum Center.
Organizers say as many as 700 people walked at the event, and 1200 people attended the fair.

Hey there everyone. I have a deck with 7 posts
and I am looking at ideas on redoing the rails (they were like that when bought) Ipretty much have settled on doing cedar 2x4's with black baulesters and figuring out a top rail. But it's the posts I am stuck on. THey need to be covered up, thoughts of wrapping them in Cedar or maybe using post anchors; I'd have to cut off the current ones flush and put a new cedar 4x4 in its lace with an anchor. Bad idea? |
Here is a link that might be useful: post anchor thought

- Posted by theporchguy (email@example.com) on Wed, Sep 3, 08 at 21:16
ekoreilly, Your existing 4x4 posts are probably carriage bolted throught the deck framing below the flooring. If thats the case they are probably very strong and I'd sleeve them with 1 x 6 cedar attached with construction adhesive and on the top shim them level. Cap them. After that you can use any type of rail you want. The link showint a way to mount new posts I think is poor. If you'd like to email me to discuss further, please feel free to do so. All the best, The Porchguy |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Album
Hey porchguy, things slowing down for you? So sleving them is better? ANything wrong with using cedat 1x6? should I miter the corner on those or butt up flat? Any suggestion on the cap rail? My plan is to go flat across but on the corners I want to do caps (that would be 5 out of the 7 posts) with lights. I see eastteak has some nice rails. |
anyone have suggestions for a top rail cap? I will be using 2x4 (sideways) for the sub rails with metal balusters. |

So… It's officially been 5 weeks since I started on the OmniPod, and I finally tried it on my arm. Armed. Banded. Armbanded. Weird.
Already, I was so accustomed to wearing that box on my stomach that I startle each time I notice my empty abdomen: Where-oh-where has my pump gone? Have I lost it? Ah no, the shoulder. That's right. It did feel a little achy back there when I wasn't looking.

The existing Batchellerville Bridge is a 3,078-food long structure carrying Saratoga County Route 98 over the 26-mile long Great Sacandaga Lake at about its mid-point in the Town of Edinburg in Saratoga County.
The primary goal of the project is to provide a bridge that is safe, efficient, balanced and environmentally sound. The primary objective of this estimated $56-million project is to eliminate the structural deficiencies of the existing bridge using a cost effective treatment to restore the general bridge condition rating of 5 or greater for at least 50 years.
The New York State Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Town of Edinburg and Saratoga County, has jointly agreed that a new bridge located adjacent to the existing bridge on the south side is the preferred alternative. The new bridge will have a 42-foot (12.8m) center span navigational vertical clearance and carry two, 11-foot (3.3m) travel lanes; two, 5-foot (1.5m) shoulders; and a 5.6-foot (1.7m) raised sidewalk on the north side of the bridge. Lighting on the bridge and approach roadways will be included in the project. In addition, intersection improvements are proposed for County Route 7, South Shore Road, where it intersects with County Route 98. It is proposed to realign the existing intersection from a "Y" configuration to a "T" intersection to improve safety.

Techs starting IVs - page 2
Has anyone heard about a new law that will prevent techs from starting IVs? Our techs are the experts at IV starts; I don't know what the hospital will do if we can't use them!... Read More
1May 19, '08 by rosemarypmrnI work in an AL ER and techs do not start IV's. I would not mind if they were medics, in fact i think a medic would be a great asset to an ER.
I want to know exactly what is the the scope of practice is for an non EMT I or II tech in Alabama??
I am not happy with techs making decisions concerning pt care or assessments .
i am uncomfortable with techs dcing ivs then assessing the site . who would be responsible for problems resulting from ivs if assessed incorrectly??
Not to sure i like the idea of techs inserting foley caths... who will be responsible for Foley insertion that results in nasocromial infection due to sloppy/non sterile technique? i am seeing techs do things that should be reserved for rns or lpns . I am seeing nurses allowing techs to perform or make decisions concerning pts that would be a liability to the facility due to the increase in the number of pt needing care vs number of rns on shift.
a tech should not be taking on professional duties reserved for nursing. what kind of impact will this have on professional nursing?
i am definitely unhappy with the sub. OJT nurses is not a good idea... duties are being passed to techs with little or no training and or formal education. there should be a definite line drawn.
i do agree a tech can be very valuable to doctors, nurses and pts when utilized properly.tsalagicara likes this. -
1May 22, '08 by asiagardenI have no problem with techs starting IV, as long as they do it right and they let the nurse look at it after doing it. Some techs are more educated than some of us even, maybe even more knowledgeable than us RORO. Just look at your term "nasocromial", just to make a correction my friend, there is no such term as nasocromial. It is nosocomial, that means hospital-acquired. I hope you keep an open mind about learning from others even though they are supposedly "techs".carlyn0726 likes this.
0May 28, '08 by ShannonRN09I'm a nurse tech working in the ER. I've worked there for 4 months and granted I'm not the most experienced IV starter in the lot, but I've started IV's that floor nurses called me to do because their 12 sticks wouldn't make it. So yes, tech's who are trained in class, "checked off" by RN's at least 5 times before allowed to be autonomous, are perfectly well qualified to start IV's. It's what prepares us to be great nurses. It's no different than a new grad learning IV's on real patients. Everyone starts somewhere. It's a huge relief to the RN's who are insanely busy. If they don't trust a tech with their patient's IV they say so. That's the RN's responsibility to make sure that the person they are delegating a task to is competent. If they don't like the idea of using a tech, they don't have to. I can have a CNA do my accuchecks and vital signs. They are trained to do so, but if they are not competent then I as a (future) RN would not delegate these tasks because my patient care is my responsibility. Techs are very helpful, but not mandatory.
BTW, I start IV heplocks. Saline, D5, LR, etc are "meds" and this is a perfectly good rule. A tech could start fluids not knowing the patient is CHF, etc. That is technically a medicine that you are giving a patient because you have to watch for the s/s. Only the initial flush is completed, maintenance flushes are done by RN's.Last edit by ShannonRN09 on May 28, '08 -
0May 31, '08 by edogs334When I was a tech in the ER, we didn't start IV's, but did phlebotomy all the time. I think that techs not starting IV's had something to do with the nurse practice act in my home state. It was a great relief to the nurses not to have to draw labs themselves. We also did accuchecks, inserted foleys, made fiberglass splints, irrigated wounds, and did a bunch of other skills that don't come to mind right now. Oh yeah, we also d/c'd pt's IV's when the RN's directed us to do so.
In a way, non-medic PCT's starting IV's is probably not a good thing. An incompetent or sloppy tech (and there are a few) could do a lot of damage if they started IV's with only OJT. Starting saline locks is one thing, but I wouldn't want a non-RN or non-medic pushing heparin into someone's veins. On the contrary, if a tech has paramedic certification, then they should be able to start IV's, because they have received just as much (if not more) didactic, practical and clinical training in starting IV's. Granted, an IV nurse might know more about venous access compared to a medic, but regular RNs don't receive as much training on starting IV's as medics do. I'm a nursing student, so I can at least speak from my own experience.Last edit by edogs334 on May 31, '08 -
0May 31, '08 by flightnurse2bi am an EMT-P and started IV's in the ER i worked at as well as was on the IV team and went up to the floors almost nightly. i work in an Endoscopy unit now, and i start all the IV's there (ends up being about 20 a day) and also float to nuclear lab, CT scan, etc (i work in a diagnostic clinic) to start IV's when needed. it is within my scope of practice to start IV's, maintain IV's and push certain IV meds. the RNs i work with have flat out told me if i left they would be lost without me because they have only started IVs on dummy arms.
0Jun 6, '08 by DaretoDreamRNIn my ED , they are called Multi Functional Techs , and they start IV's all the time but only in the ED. CNA's cannot start IV's , but if they are trained as MFT's in the ED, then they can start IV's. When i was a brand new nurse, the techs taught me how to start IV's. Some techs actually do better inserting IV's than a lot of nurses I know.
1Jun 14, '11 by DSkelton711And I wonder why nurses can't find jobs. We are being outsourced like everything else.DixieRedHead likes this.
0Apr 2, '12 by victoriatayeCan a cardiac (EKG) tech spike a .9% iv, prime the line, connect it, turn the roller clamp and maintain the patency of the IV? Is this against the law? I am desperate to find out the legalities on this issue. My understanding for the past 24 years as an RN is that only an RN could do this.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chance!
Facts about Chance
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Chance's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Poor chance was left behind when his family moved away. A very nice neighbor took him in and asked us to help find Chance the home he deserves. This beautiful boy is definately all boy and loves to run and play. He has a very cute face that can quickly melt hearts. We will be having our next adoption event Feb 9-10 at Hickory Pet Care Complex in Forest Hill, Md Please come visit us there.
Other Pets at Southern Dogs Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chance, a Warwick Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Warwick, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Warwick.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Warwick already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Warwick breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Warwick paves the way for another one to be saved.

In the war against drinking and driving, it's become common for law enforcement agencies to try to implant the emotion of an actual car wreck through dramatization.
Generally, teens from highs schools and junior high schools will be assembled in a parking lot or near an open field outside of their school where they watch classmates die, become seriously injured, or get arrested due to involvement in drinking while driving.
Although the presentations pack a punch, Chris Benton, the Trauma Coordinator for the Beartooth Billings Clinic wanted to shake things up a little bit.
"We really changed this program for this year because it's already been around the county four times," said Benton. "And so, we wanted to have a different flare with the assembly which really keeps the crowd close together and allows the speaker to get across their message of distracted driving."

Last Spring my boyfriend & I bought a home in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. After looking at dozens of old brownstones which had been raped & pillaged over the years (i.e. modernized with cheap, synthetic materials & cheated of their original charm), we found a diamond in the rough: a modest brownstone circa 1877 with most of it's original details intact, but desperately needing some love and tons of work. Over the months we have been reviving this old house of it's strong points and step by step, day by day, making it more livable and improved.
Our bedroom is finally finished and so far it's my favorite room (as I love to sleep), and we can lay in bed at night and watch films. The point of this post is that I have become completely obsessed with films which were set in the time our house was current, and Jane Austen's novels behold the stuff of which I am fawning over: Victorian decor & Regency dress. (Though the Regency was from 1811-1820, the fashion aesthetic appears in these films more broadly via artistic license. It was the time of transition between the Georgian and Victorian eras).
Think empire waists with gathered, waterfall skirts. The dresses were modest, lacking the forced silhouette of extremely tight corsets with bursting cleavage, and underneath a simple chemisette (a side opening half-blouse) was worn, which made for a Classical look, inspired by Grecian draped gowns. Normally made from embroidered fine white lawn, muslin or batiste these dresses were primarily made in white (which can easily soil), which symbolized social status. Austen's heroines always wear a small, cropped jacket over one of the empire waist dresses when outside, lace up leather boots and a pair of short leather gloves.
Above is a collage I've created of Regency dress and how to interpret that into a modern wardrobe. Our Francesca Dress offers a very similar silhouette. Enjoy!

And no conviction did -- but not, alas, because Vanatta was able to make his compelling argument in open court. Instead, he reached a plea deal for his client. But his inspirational motion lives on -- at www.thesmokinggun.com, the Web site that gave it the prestigious Legal Document of the Year Award when 2003 was barely half over, and also in Recht's pleadings in the Castle Rock case, for which he cribbed unashamedly from Vanatta's legal work.
Sadly, Recht never got to make his case in court, either. "We fought it pretty hard," he remembers. "We had to file a whole series of motions that took a lot of time, explaining why it should be dismissed. The first two times, the judge denied the motions. On the eve of trial, the city attorney dismissed the charges."
And next week, the Castle Rock Town Council will consider amending the town's ordinances to remove the section under which Lewis was charged. "The problem is making it a crime to use offensive language," Recht points out. "That's a clear violation of the First Amendment. This is protected political speech."
The proposal calls for eliminating entirely the wording that refers to "tumultuous or offensive language." "It goes to council for a first reading on January 27," confirms Deanne Durfee, deputy town attorney. "We'll still have a noise ordinance that restricts decibel levels and noises that disturb people -- but not content."
But even as Castle Rock recognizes the constitutionality of free speech, the Colorado Legislature debates the inane HB1078, which could toss owners of bookstores or theater companies in jail if they "allow a minor to review or peruse any material that is harmful" or "exhibit a performance that is harmful to minors" if "a reasonable adult person would find that the material or performance lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors."
Leave it to Representative Ted Harvey, the bill's sponsor, to determine what the fuck constitutes a "reasonable" adult these days. Or a reasonable bill, for that matter -- one that wouldn't throw Tattered Cover owner Joyce Meskis in the slammer for displaying copies of Lady Chatterley's Lover.
"Selling obscenity to minors is already a crime," points out Recht, who testified before the legislature last week. "We have those laws on the book. The Tattered Cover, Kitty's -- nobody can sell obscenity to minors. Adult bookstores don't care about this law; they don't let minors in. It's aimed at mainstream bookstores. It's wrong, and it shouldn't happen."
"The implications are incredibly fascist," says Brian Freeland of the Lida Project, whose current theatrical production just happens to be named Fucking A. "Shop owners are afraid to put up a poster, afraid that the law will come down on them and cite them and fine them. What's next? Are we going to be afraid to print anything?"
Or afraid to stage a play -- even if it is by Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Park -- with "fuck" in its title?
"You've got to be kidding me if you're going to start prosecuting people for using the F-word. You're going to have to build lots and lots of jails," says Vanatta, a minor celebrity since his motion went global.
"What people don't realize," he adds, "and what is so scary about cases like this is it might seem minor on the surface -- no one is going to endorse a kid saying this to the cops or his principal -- but where's the next step? It's an incredibly slippery slope. And if you start outlawing it on any level, you've got a government saying what you can and can't say and you can and can't think. And that's just not what the country's built upon."
Fuckin' A.

I did the unthinkable..I used grub control killer(Bayer) on those little xxxoo. grubs. Have I ruin my organic lawn or herd? First time in 4 years for any chemicals. Will it come back soon? What should I use now. I seeded ( 7 days ago) a large area with Midnight using about 2 pounds. (mixed lawn. rye,kbg,fescue grass) Now it's time to fertilize the entire yard. Back to soybean meal or what? 100's of grubs in yard. Used nematodes last year. Guess I should have use it again. Maybe 2 applications next year along with Milky spore. What really works? thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
To be a problem, according to the turf grass people at Michigan State, Ohio State, and Purdue, your grub population would need to be in the area of 10 per square foot, 5 or less per square foot would not be a problem. To determine that population dig out a one square foot section of your turf, or take a spade and cut in a :_: and fold the turf back and then count the wee buggers there. Milky Spore Disease, "Bacillus popilliae", is present in most soils already, just not enough and it can take some time to show spectacular results and since it is a passsive means of control, the grubs must ingest it, many people think it does not work. Parasitic nematodes can also be used IF there is a real grub problem. For most people grubs are not a real problem, and do not need as much control as the people that sell control products want you to believe. |
Grubs were more than 10 per foot. More like 20 per foot. Damage was total dead grass. When should I apply parasitic nematodes? In the fall and spring? I have had grubs for 10 yrs. But this invasion was massive. Also, what should I apply now for my fall fertilizer? I have been using SBM, now what? Grass seed is just poping their hair up. I don't what to smother them. Did I do much damage to my organic lawn using the Grub killer? Thanks |

Can I prune salvia patens to the ground for the winter? Thanks in advance for your help.
Duane |
Follow-Up Postings:
I always let my salvias die from the cold, mulch heavily with fallen leaves, and leave the stems standing until spring. It is windy here, so I cover the three-foot layer of leaves with a piece of chicken wire to hold the leaves in place, and the stems help keep the leaves from compacting too much; I think more air space means better conditions for the salvias. Of course it is much colder here in PA than in much of western Oregon. Still, I would leave at least part of the stem standing all winter even in Oregon. |
Mine die all the way back in winter in CA/z9. When all the leaves have turned yellow/brown, I cut them to the ground. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Sun, Nov 23, 08 at 12:59
Salvia patens likes it dry when it is in either summer or winter dormancy. I am awaiting a plant or seed of the selection made by Cabrillo College, which was a 4 foot by 4 foot bush so heavy with flowers that there was a nearly continuous blue carpet underneath the bush. |
The top growth of mine just seems to disappear - I am usually still collecting seed till nearly Christmas, then I shove the plants somewhere and forget about them till spring, and by then there's no top growth left! Rots and blows away, I suppose. I don't have to overwinter these under cover but if I am taking some in (to get an earlier start or if very cold weather is forecast) I cut them down beforehand. |

You all have some pretty big conspiracy theories too if I'm not mistaken.
Posted by Kill War at December 25, 2012 01:15 PMThe leftists believe this crap. When they can't twist the facts to support their flawed and erroneous theories to support their failed ideology, they make things up by attempting to re-write history.
Every leftist propagandist past and present has used the same techniques.
Posted by asdf at December 25, 2012 04:04 PMI think the first and third episodes of Untold describes Stalin as a brutal tyrant who was beloved by most Russians at the time of his death. Usually a simplistic conservative worldview doesn't adequately describe the actual state of the world.
Posted by PMA at December 25, 2012 05:27 PMI find it interesting how 21st Century American liberals who have known nothing but the comforts and freedoms that this country has to offer lionize and admire Communist mass murderers and dictators.
Che, Fidel, Mao, Uncle Joe - liberals seem to think they were all misunderstood and really quite beloved by the people who were the targets of their destructive philosophies.
Have I said that liberalism is a mental disorder lately?
Posted by asdf at December 25, 2012 07:20 PMHow conservative, massive government tit sucking, states treat their United States citizens is a mental disorder of the highest order.
You pompus and arrogant fools don't know how to connect to an article like this
or any of the annectdotes wherein. That is psychotic, anti-social, and honestly, a little retarded. You are detached from reality in a mental fugue if you believe this is justice. But this is the Paul Ryan model of service, where 2/3 of people in poverty that qualify for FEDERAL services don't receive them.
Posted by Kill War at December 26, 2012 11:19 AMI haven't seen this documentary yet but I know from past experience that Stone is fond of his over-simplistic theories. When his conclusions about the JFK assassination were challenged by many professional investigators his response was something along the lines of "what other conclusion can be drawn"? He's an arrogant guy. He tends to remind me a bit of Ted Nugent in a "my opinion is the only valid one" kind of way (BTW I am a Nugent fan).
ASDF makes a good point about some of these left wingers in this country who have never had to live under the yoke of these tyrants but seem to hold them up almost as deities. PMA makes an equally good point that many of these brutal tyrants were originally seen by the people as liberators. In my recollections from history courses the Bolsheviks were initially seen as liberators from the "divine" rule of the czars. Didn't turn out that way change can bring about a certain amount of hope and history tends to hang its own label in these figures.
I'll check out this documentary and make up my own mind about what it means; in the meantime it is hard to get worked up about what the Hollywood crowd has to say.
Kill War/Heha: It's nice to know some things never change. I'll check out your links anyway.
Posted by Ancient Mariner at December 27, 2012 04:45 PMThe problem with the conspiracies surrounding the JFK assassination, and even 9/11, is that a proper trial never took place where evidence is examined and theories are proposed and defended in a jury trial presided by a judge. The Warren Commission Report and the 9/11 Commission Report are disgusting, obfuscatory, and wholly inadequate for the gravity of the crime.

The .Jobs Backlash Has Begun
.Jobs process "stunk and lacked an open, honest, and transparent process" say some in career industry.
When .jobs was originally introduced as a top level domain name, the plan was to let companies register only their company name, and only for use promoting jobs at their company; e.g. ATT.jobs and GoDaddy.jobs.
The domain has floundered since so few domains could be registered. Hardly anyone even recognizes it as a URL when they see it.
But there's money in them hills, so the inevitable expansion beyond the approved scope is under way. EmployMedia LLC just made its official request (pdf) to ICANN to release more .jobs domains last week.
Like many domain name processes, a lot of people don't like how this one has played out. After all, .jobs was a sponsored TLD. Here's what CollegeRecruiter.com has to say:
Why should any job seeker, employer, job board owner, or other human resource professional care? Because the process stunk and lacked an open, honest, and transparent process. Despite SHRM's many, many excellent conferences, publications, and other contributions to the human resource communities, it is making a terrible mistake here by seemingly washing its hands of a situation that it set in motion in 2005 when it partnered with Employ Media and petitioned ICANN to create the .jobs domain.
The approval specified that the .jobs domain names would be issued only with organization names and sold only to those organizations, so Microsoft could buy microsoft.jobs and Walmart could buy walmart.jobs and use those domains to drive job seekers to their corporate career sites, but CollegeRecruiter.com could not buy CollegeRecruiter.jobs and drive candidates to its job board as we would have jobs from other organizations on our job board. Similarly, Microsoft could not buy domains such as redmond.jobs or software.jobs. That's all about to change and the only winner here is Employ Media.
Ted Daywalt of VetJobs is also unhappy.
The way existing job boards look at the opening of .jobs is either more competition or a shakedown to buy the equivalent .jobs domain.
Sounds a lot like the new TLD debate.
15 Comments
Restricted domains are by nature profit killers. A short sunrise period of restriction for industry professionals is OK, to then be followed by open and unrestricted registration to the masses. .jobs would have established a lasting footprint, same with .travel had they not been so confined.
Restrictions on country codes is most definitely a good idea, but not the same as restricting these niche domains.
Slightly different issue, but what happened to the .biz backlash, ie that never happened?
In other words, whatever you think of the extension, I don't recall anyone ever taking issue with non compliance of the registration terms.
http://www.neustarregistry.biz/support/faqs#abRegistration Rules & Restrictions
Are there restrictions on who can register .BIZ domain names?Yes. The .BIZ domain can only be used for a "bona fide business or commercial use". A bona fide business use is one of the following:
To exchange goods, services, or property of any kind;
In the ordinary course of trade or business; or
To facilitate (i) the exchange of goods, services, information, or property of any kind; or, (ii) the ordinary course of trade or business.
Registering a domain name solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation does not constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of that domain name.
—————— -
I doubt the is going to fly no matter how it is changed. Would say just open it up, the idea of restricted new tlds clearly hasn't worked.
want guess who will buy steve.jobs ???
. -
Oil spill stop: I wanted to write that
Anyway, .jobs is too narrow niche and most sites will stay under .com .
Why would I have company.jobs when I can have company.com/jobs and even people that are searching for my services might also find JOBS section and peak into it and might find themself capable of certain position and become my employees.No need of extra domain.
.MOBI also had an initial restriction (that I favored) whereby registrants had to erect a .mobi compliant site … I think within 6 months of registration. However, that seems to have not been enforced. The restiction did function to promote development and didn't deter registration numbers.
Similarly, .US has the nexus requirements for US citizenship or incorporation within the US. I believe that is a beneficial and appropriate restriction. And Neustar have enforced that I understand as in the Video.US case.
Cananda too. To register .ca one must meet similar requirements though I don't know to what extent that is actually enforced.
Thank you for bringing this .jobs issue to the attention of your readers. There's no doubt that some job board owners are upset about this because of the likelihood of increased competition — 50,000 U.S. job boards could soon face an additional 1,000,000 job boards under Employ Media's plans — but others like me are far more concerned with the process.
Employ Media, SHRM, and others involved in this simply haven't been straight. At times they've claimed no ICANN or other approvals are needed. At other times they've basically claimed they're seeking the approvals out of the goodness of their hearts. SHRM formed a committee and one of the members resigned just before the vote was taken. Interestingly, his vote was explained as an abstention rather than a resignation, perhaps because that would have necessitated explaining why he resigned and I suspect the reasons for the resignation would have been embarrassing to SHRM and Employ Media.
Let's just get this whole process out of the smoke filled rooms. If the deal is so good for the employment community, then why not have the players admit their mistakes and in a truly public fashion lay out their vision for how to open up the .jobs domains to all? And while they're at it, perhaps they can explain how it benefits the employment community to have Employ Media monopolize the process of selling and/or using the .jobs domains rather than all sellers of TLD's as is the case with the .com, .net, and even .biz domains?
.Jobs was built solely upon .hope and it is no surprise to see it .fail. It is and was un-needed by the market.
The word is FOUNDERED, not fLoundered. Flounder is a fish.
@jblack; To founder is to sink, to flounder is to struggle and move with difficulty. In this particular case, either would be appropriate.
"The word is FOUNDERED, not fLoundered."
The usage depends on whether it was done on porpoise.
This issue is all about competition to existing job boards.
ICANN is going to face this issue with EVERY new gTLD. They will ALL face opposition from (mainly) .com websites that feel threatened by competition. We've seen it with .xxx, and we will see it with .sport, .bank, .paris, .movie, etc.
competition means innovation, growth, more consumer choice and change. This is a good thing.
It's a bunch of scammy sh*t. Go look to see who's nameservers pop up for Temps.jobs or Freelance.jobs – it's the same nameserver, so I'm guessing the same company – but employmedia.com states that they check out the registrant to make sure they are who they say they are and that part of the terms of registration is that you cant put third party jobs in the content of the site – calling bullsh*t
With the new DNS the selection of TLDs is Automated (Untouched by Humans). The number of slots has been expanded from 2048 to 4096.
