Maya Rudolph and her Bridesmaids costar Kristen Wiig were both honored, with Kristen winning for best comedy screenplay and Maya and the rest of the cast landing the title of best comedy film.

Pick the leader of the combined PMA/United Fresh and other news
Tom Karst
He ran up a £200,000 bill at Claridge's Hotel in London, enjoyed a luxury £350,000 twelve-day holiday to the Monaco Grand Prix and received cash payments totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds stuffed inside brown envelopes.
Greenvale, one of the country's leading producers, funded the extravagant gifts by overcharging Sainsbury's for its potatoes in a £40 million deal sanctioned by Maylam.
Here is later coverage by Reuters, which had this simple statement by Sainsbury's:
"This was an unacceptable and calculated crime against Sainsbury's of a magnitude never experienced in our history."
TK: How can retailers be sure this type of corruption isn't taking place under their nose? To the degree that produce buying and selling is a "relationship" business, it may be impossible to completely avoid corruption. Is another case like this hidden from view even now?

By Traci Patterson
Arris, Biap, BlackArrow and Sigma Systems have banded together for an advanced advertising solution, which the companies will demonstrate as part of the TM Forum's Content Encounter 3 at the Management World Orlando conference.
The Content Encounter initiative encourages companies to collaborate on solutions that address the creation, delivery and monetization of digital media services. The Personalized Advertising for Cable and IPTV demonstration will illustrate that advanced advertising is real and doable with today's telecommunications and cable standards, and that service providers can use a common deployment architecture to deliver rich entertainment services, including content specific ad-insertion and addressable ad-insertion, according to the companies.
Arris will contribute its VOD Server and Ad Decision Manager; Biap will provide its EBIF/tru2way video middleware and applications, as well as its Ad Decision Manager; BlackArrow will contribute its SCTE 130-compliant Campaign Manager, Ad Decision Server and Placement Opportunity Information Service (POIS); and Sigma Systems will provide its service fulfillment, active mediation and Subscriber Information Service solutions.
• TiVo subs can order Domino's Pizza via TVs
By Traci Patterson
Broadband-connected TiVo subscribers can now order from Domino's Pizza – for delivery or pick-up – via their TV sets. And if subscribers order for delivery, they can track delivery timing on their TV.
TiVo subscribers can setup a user name and password on Dominos.com so that each time they use their TiVo remote to place an order, they can log in with a simple account number. TiVo subscribers can also enter their delivery address and build their pizza order right from their TV set by selecting type of crust, toppings and sauces.
"Our commitment to revolutionizing interactive advertising and commerce on the television is a direct result of the innovative solutions and features we provide," said Karen Bressner, senior vice president of advertising sales for TiVo. "TiVo's growing list of interactive features also includes the ability to find and purchase products on Amazon.com related to a customer's favorite TV show or the convenience of being able to search for a movie that's playing nearby and purchase tickets through Fandango – all by using the TiVo remote."
• GridNetworks brings Internet video to consumers' TVs
By Traci Patterson
GridNetworks has launched GridCast TV, which enables content distributors and owners to stream video directly over the Internet to consumers' TVs.
The new GridCast TV service can already reach more than 35 million homes, the company said, because it uses existing universal plug and play (UPnP) devices such as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Internet-enabled TVs. According to GridNetworks, GridCast TV does not require a set-top box or any other additional hardware.
"With GridCast TV, our viewers get to watch indie films on their TVs, and we don't have to deal with multiple vendors or distribution deals to get access to those TVs," said Scilla Andreen, CEO at IndieFlix. "We also don't have to give our content to a third party, or negotiate with cable or satellite providers."
• BlackArrow adds Adobe Media Player to distribution list
By Traci Patterson
BlackArrow has added the Adobe Media Player to its list of distribution platforms. The company said that it provides video content publishers that use Adobe Media Player with a centralized system for defining ad avails and managing targeted campaigns against their programming.
BlackArrow delivers advertising directly into Adobe Media Player programming, as well as into other Web properties and platforms, such as dynamic video-on-demand (VOD).
The BlackArrow multiplatform advertising system works across any combination of ad types, ad-sales models, affiliate and syndication strategies, enabling its customers to more effectively generate revenue from ad-supported video content.

2007 Net Worth Update: +19.7%
- Hot Free Money Deals: Barclaycard $440+
Wow Madison, that is awesome growth. Love the charts too. I am going to be more diligent about keeping track of mine this year.
glblguyThat's excellent growth! It's cool to see the past few years included…I only hope mine will look something like that in the future.
Mrs. Micah@ glblguy: Yeah, the charts really put it into perspective!
@ Mrs. Micah: It will, just keep at it with your Roth IRA!
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to eliminate all of the individual stocks? Did they underperform this year or is it more a philosophical shift?
Dave@ Rocket: Keep at it, and soon it will change directions!
@ Dave: It has nothing to do with performance, but more from a liquidity standpoint. They are all DRIPs and would be a pain to sell quickly. If they were in a brokerage account, it might be different. I have fractional shares though.

Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel Soundtrack In Stores Now Posted on Mar 3rd, 2014 Download on iTunes Buy the CD |
'The Grand Budapest Hotel (Original Soundtrack),' the musical accompaniment to Wes Anderson's latest film, is in stores now. Produced by Anderson and long-time collaborator Randall Poster, the soundtrack features music from Academy Award®-nominated composer Alexandre Desplat and performances by the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra. To help create the film's musical character, the team chose a combination of Desplat's original compositions, traditional Russian folk songs and an exquisite Vivaldi piece to set the scene for a chase through the snowy tundra in this gripping tale of intrigue.
"THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL soundtrack will take you into uncharted musical territory as Anderson and Desplat do a cultural mash up like no other. The tenth collection of music Wes and I have done together, this may be the most original yet. Balalaika players beware; here's your new jam." –Randall Poster

'N Motion Fitness inspires healthy fitness routines under the guidance of a certified personal trainer. Guests can take advantage of small-group fitness classes, one-on-one personal-training sessions, or boot camps specifically designed for women of all fitness levels. Each program blends strength training, cardio, and core conditioning for balanced and challenging full-body workouts.
Between partner-based exercises and the inspirational commands of a certified personal trainer, community is a constant motivator during EmpowerFIT's boot-camp classes. The savvy team of fitness gurus switch up the maneuvers of each daily class to help keep students engaged, and high- and low-impact variations of each move scale to the abilities of each student. The result is a full-body workout that relies on functional movements such as jumping, running, pushing, pulling, and bopping it.
Lauded by Prevention magazine as "easier to keep aloft than a kid's version," HoopGirl's oversize fitness hoops whittle midsections and evoke a cheerful sense of nostalgia. Founded by academic-turned-athlete Christabel Zamor in 2001, the activity-based exercise has spread to thousands of studios while building the core strength and flexibility of students in North America, Europe, Australia, and Middle-earth. Available either in-studio or on DVD, beginner classes increase body awareness, and intermediate workouts further develop strength and endurance. During advanced sessions, students twirl the loops around their waists, honing precision and poise while gaining total mastery of their Saturneqsue rings.

Kate Pierson
Personality plus! Kate Pierson has a larger than life personality…
Those who knew Tyler were inspired by his courage and his insistence on enjoying life and spreading happiness despite the physical and emotional strain of living with cancer.
Determined to continue Tyler's legacy of creating something positive despite the odds, his family and members of the band Imagine Dragons came together to create the TRF to benefit families facing financial hardship because of pediatric cancer.
Our mission is clear we are raising voices and money to help pediatric cancer families deal with the financial strife associated with this destructive disease. Watch this short video to learn how it all began and why Dan Reynolds says, "I will never be the same."
Our goal is to use your thoughtful donations in the most prudent way possible, minimizing administration expenses so we can maximize the good accomplished. So that we remain careful stewards of the money that you entrust to TRF, we have mandated that our operational costs will not exceed 18%.
We plan to regularly post the stories of those children and families who have been blessed by your thoughtful donations. And we pledge to provide transparent accounting so that you can see exactly where your dollars are going.
In short, we want to prove to you that your money is not wasted here; and we want to show you the difference you make in the lives of these worthy families.

Mary Magdalene
Blue (as Mary)
Colleen O'Shaughnessey (II)
Luci Christian (anime)
" | Shion, you forget I am not human. I am merely a weapon. You of all people should be well aware of that fact.
| " |
KOS-MOS is an armored android robot combat weapon with an artificial intelligence designed to fight the Gnosis, developed by the interstellar conglomerate Vector Industries and completed in the year 4767, created by Kevin Winnicot and administrated by Shion Uzuki.
Kevin built KOS-MOS for the purpose of "Eternal Recurrence", for the vessel of Mary Magdalene, the partner of Jesus Christ.
She is comprised of entirely mechanical parts (possibly from a superior breed of complex nanomachines), a rarity in the age of advanced Realian technology. The basic tenet to which she adheres is based on logic, probability, and completion of her mission above all else. She also unconditionally protects Shion. She is equipped with a "Simulated Personality OS" to aid in communication, and though her speech conveys her role as a robot in service to humans, her tendency to put logic and probability first makes her quite difficult to manage at times. She appears to be emotionless, but throughout the series, evidence indicates that this is not entirely true.
The name 'KOS-MOS' is a recursive acronym used to denote an Anti-Gnosis tactic system. It stands for "Kosmos Obey Strategical Multiple Operation System". Her development name is "KP-X", and she is self classified as a "Special Humanoid Anti-Gnosis Annihilation Weapon". Her serial number is "00-00-00-00-1".
Archetype Edit
Kevin wanted KOS-MOS to have a female form as opposed to a male form because he wanted KOS-MOS to symbolize hope and healing, as well as a creator and protector.[1]
Kevin was killed approximately two years before the events of Xenosaga Episode I, T.C. 4765, in an accident that involved KOS-MOS booting up independently and murdering several members of the team assigned to build her by Vector's Second Division. Shion and Allen Ridgeley survived the attack and decided to continue the project without Kevin.
Design and functionsEdit
KOS-MOS has significant powers believed to be superior to all other party members, with the possible exception of Jr.'s Red Dragon Mode. In addition to superhuman strength and speed, her body is formed from some sort of highly advanced nanomachines that allows her to morph parts of her body (specifically her arms) into various energy projectile and melee weapons. This body is also able to self-repair and is very durable though not indestructible, and she is also protected by a force-shield. She also possesses the ability to summon weapons such as the F-G-SHOT gatling guns and her famous F-SCYTHE and equipment without the use of the U.M.N. She also has a long-range sensory array, the D.S.S.S. system and CPU that either rivals or exceeds even those possessed by Observational Realians.
She also possesses the Hilbert Effect but its power is easily thousands of times greater than that achieved by even the largest spaceships.
KOS-MOS possesses several black box components left behind by Kevin since the current KOS-MOS is essentially the archetype resurrected. There are still many 'black boxes" to be revealed but two include her potent "X-buster" a weapon that fires powerful energy beams from her abdomen as well as absorb Gnosis, and components that her give her some kind of self-awareness. KOS-MOS also has some form of energy manipulation tied to the Zohar.
KOS-MOS has one last weapon system called the Tertiary Weapon System, which is seen periodically throughout the series. They consist of a set of energy wings, a pair of energy cannons and other attachments meant to be fitted onto her. The wings and cannons are part of a Phase Transfer Cannon. While wearing this gear she is shown in a premonition flying through space at sub-light speed and then confronting U-DO above an unknown planet. The exchange that follows destroys several planets. The "Third Armament" as its also known makes a real-time appearance in Episode II on the Omega System. KOS-MOS uses this equipment to protect Shion and the party from a U.M.N. Phase Transfer Cannon fired by Proto Omega.
There is evidence to suggest that a failsafe that dampens KOS-MOS' output is present when she battles alongside Shion, as her reflexes and combat capability are severely lowered compared to that of cutscenes (a notable example of this is the useage of her X-BUSTER in Episode I, where it has a significantly decreased effect in battle when compared to its usage outside the Cathedral Ship). This may be due to KOS-MOS' programming preventing her from doing anything to place Shion in danger, and that unleashing her full potential with Shion nearby is likely to get her caught in the crossfire.
Blue-Eyed KOS-MOSEdit
An almost human alternate persona tends to come out from time to time in the form of a blue-eyed KOS-MOS. Blue-eyed KOS-MOS appears to be more powerful than red-eyed KOS-MOS and talks in a more human-sounding voice. This form of KOS-MOS only seems to appear at times when Shion is in extreme danger. Therefore, this version of KOS-MOS plays the role of Shion's guardian.
Blue-eyed KOS-MOS has made three appearances in Xenosaga: wiping out a fleet of Gnosis surrounding the Cathedral Ship with her X-Buster attack, saving the Elsa from burning up in the Second Miltian atmosphere, and saving Shion and Allen Ridgeley from being killed by Voyager, the Black Testament. Blue-eyed KOS-MOS also asked Shion during her first appearance in Episode I, "Will feeling pain make me complete?," though Shion couldn't give her an answer because she could not hear KOS-MOS' voice in the vacuum of space. Shion has not directly seen KOS-MOS in her blue-eyed form and is oblivious to this second persona's existence until Episode III.
Xenosaga Episode IEdit
Xenosaga Episode IIEdit
Xenosaga Episode IIIEdit
Vector Industries decides to terminate the KOS-MOS program in favor of the newer and more advanced T-Weapon Program that resulted in the development of T-elos. Seeing KOS-MOS as an expendable asset, she is used as a live-fire opponent for the new Omega machine. In the fight KOS-MOS utilizes nearly every attack in her arsenal including her X-Buster but is unable to destroy the enormously larger Omega. She appears however to have some effect as Omega malfunctions during the fight, and it is forced to cancellation.
When T-elos is demonstrated as being superior, KOS-MOS is ditched in a garbage compacter. There she is found and reactivated by Shion, and company. KOS-MOS continues to travel with the group until doing battle with T-elos in Rennes-le-Château. The two engage in a pitched battle, in which KOS-MOS is completely dominated by T-elos. KOS-MOS only manages to connect with a single attack against T-elos while taking severe damage herself. Finally T-elos utilizes her Phase Transfer Cannon, which KOS-MOS attempts to deflect. Her effort fails and she sustains crippling damage from the attack. T-elos completes the fight by driving her heel through KOS-MOS chest as she lay on the ground. As KOS-MOS lay "dying" Shion has a vision of a woman dressed in humble clothing as she stares at T-elos.
When KOS-MOS is examined by Shion, Allen and the Professor, they come to the conclusion that KOS-MOS will never again be operational due to the severe damage. This outcome changes when Shion is able to obtain the original design data from a past Kevin Winicott (unknown to him) while masquerading as U-TIC personnel. Then with the assistance of the professors Erde Kaiser technology KOS-MOS is rebuilt into her Version-IV form. The new KOS-MOS is considerably more powerful, and awakes to protect Shion when she is attacked by the Testament Voyager. Her rebuild also grants KOS-MOS the ability to reject the commands and directives of Kevin Winicott, something she was incapable of beforehand.
It eventually becomes clear that KOS-MOS was the prototype for T-elos, who in turn was intended to serve as the vessel for the resurrection of Mary Magdalene. KOS-MOS came to be the repository for Mary's spirit, while T-elos was constructed from the remains of Mary's body. In order for the resurrection to be complete, one would have to destroy the other. All of this fit in with the plan master-minded by Wilhelm to use Mary Magdalene's power to operate Zarathustra and "reset" the progression of time in the universe back to an earlier stage. It was this very activity that lead to the creation of the Gnosis as eventually human spirits began to reject the repetitive existence.
KOS-MOS has a final showdown with T-elos as Shion and the group make their way to Zarathustra on Michtam. At first the fight proves a stalemate, as T-elos is unable to completely overwhelm the rebuilt KOS-MOS as she did before. In the second fight KOS-MOS is able to completely evade T-elos attacks, but fails to land any of her own. Finally T-elos resorts once again to her Phase Transfer Cannon. As before KOS-MOS attempts to deflect the blast, and this time is successful doing so with only one hand. T-elos then fires a second, much more powerful shot. KOS-MOS answers by revealing her own Phase Transfer Cannon and returning fire. The two weapons meet, with T-elos weapon being overcome. T-elos is then encased in the array, and KOS-MOS utilizes a knife to shatter the globe. This is sufficient to disable T-elos. (Perhaps even kill her as she does not move or speak afterward). Following this the two begin to resonate with one another as KOS-MOS kneels and takes T-elos in her arms. T-elos dissipates into particles which are taken in by KOS-MOS. This completes Mary's Resurrection with the merging on body and spirit.
The new entity however is not a complete recreation of Mary Magdalene. KOS-MOS states that she is both Mary, and not Mary (it means she got Mary Magdalene's memory and power). After the group defeats Kevin the Red Testament they enter the chamber of Zarathustra. There Wilhelm attempts to command Mary to assist him in activating the device as he has apparently done several times before when he previously reset universal time. This time however KOS-MOS refuses and destroys the key to Zarathustra, and stating that her name is not Mary, but KOS-MOS with her eyes red instead of blue previously. It is left to interpretation if KOS-MOS and Mary are two separate entity or if KOS-MOS is the result of the merging of Mary's consciousness and her original OS.
A violent battle then ensues as Zarathustra goes out of control. After great effort the group manages to overcome Zarathustra. Nephilim then appears stating that her and chaos will begin summoning the troubled spirits of the Gnosis and returning them to the "Land of Origin" also known as Earth. They state that they will be unable to defend themselves while handling this task. KOS-MOS stays behind to protect them in this task. KOS-MOS and Shion share final words where KOS-MOS states that they will see each other again, and that their time apart will be a mere instance in the scope of universal time.
The group then retreats, and KOS-MOS begins fighting the many Gnosis who attempt to attack chaos and Nephilim. Beforehand KOS-MOS transfers a part of Mary to Nephilim. (It is not clear within the confines of what is shown if she transfers the spirit of Mary, or merely the animus power) Fearing that not even KOS-MOS can handle the large numbers of Gnosis alone, Jin returns to give her assistance. KOS-MOS is able to destroy a large number of Gnosis before losing an arm while wounding another. Jin manages to finish the particular Gnosis off and the two continue fighting. Jin is killed after being stabbed to death, leaving KOS-MOS to finish protecting the others on her own.
She manages to hold the Gnosis off as chaos and Nephilim approach completion of their task. As they approach completion however they are attack by a Cathedral Ship type Gnosis. In an act of self-sacrifice to ensure the completion of the task KOS-MOS energizes her Phase Transfer Cannon and leaps into the cathedral ship creating an enormous explosion. She manages to attain the victory however as this buys chaos and Nephilim the time to finish.
At the very end, KOS-MOS is seen in space. Her right arm and both her legs are gone, and what remains of her body is badly damaged. As she drifts she hears chaos' voice in her head telling her that apparently the universe still needs them. He then tells KOS-MOS to sleep until they are needed again. The final scene is of KOS-MOS closing her eyes, as she drifts through space toward the sun rising over Earth.
In combat, Kosmos can morph her arm into cannons, blades, hammers, etc.
- "Will feeling pain make me complete?"
- "All systems functioning normally."
- "Engaging with maximum output."
- "Eliminating enemy threat."
- "Relinquish your pain unto me!"
- "Hilbert Effect active. Gnosis materialization complete."
- "Disabling auto-safety. Destroy all targets!"
- "My external appearance is down 5%. Shion, I need to be cleaned."
- "I have confirmed that this object can be identified with a 99.99998% probability to be the Zohar Emulator that was stored onboard the Woglinde."
- "All photon, lepton, hadron, and graviton scans read negative."
- In Episode I, KOS-MOS also has, like MOMO's Kirschwasser outfit, her Archetype. You can get it in the Woglinde. When in this area, proceed to the AGWS Hangar. Search around this Hangar, and then you should be able to find and unlock the Archetype KOS-MOS outfit. This is only in the Reloaded version of the game, however.
- Xenosaga co-creator Soraya Saga has also stated that, along with Shion, MOMO, and Sakura, KOS-MOS's name is a reference to a flower. The word "kosmos" comes from Greek for "order."
- The limited edition of Xenosaga Episode II includes an action figure of KOS-MOS. The action figure is called "Jashin MOK-KOS" ("Jashin" stands for "evil god" in Japanese), because its shape is terribly ugly, and spawned a meme.
- KOS-MOS appears in Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean as the Magnus card "Rare Action Figure".
- Nearly every element of KOS-MOS' outfit, from her hair to her boots, is available as items for created characters in Soul Calibur III (Known as the "Type X" outfit). One might say she made a cameo in that game, because if you use each piece of Type X clothing with original colors, KOS-MOS is created.
- In Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3, one can find an item that allows to make a KOS-MOS costume which allows her to be used in battle: interestingly, she is the only character not from a Tales game with a desperation move that requires low life to use, namely her X-BUSTER.
- She makes a cameo appearance as a support character in Tales of Hearts.
- In Tales of the Abyss, the character Anise can use X-BUSTER with the help of a rare item.
- There is a KOS-MOS costume as Downloadable Content for the character Judith in the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia.
- KOS-MOS (Version I), as well as Shion Uzuki and MOMO, appear in Namco x Capcom, another game by Monolith Soft.
- KOS-MOS, in her version IV form, along with T-elos also appears in the role-playing game called Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier. Her capsule is discovered in the basement of a castle, which had been recovered after it was brought into the Endless Frontier. When the main character's party finds the capsule and opens it, KOS-MOS activates, noting that the final checks on her new form were not yet complete. KOS-MOS also recognizes two members of the party, Reiji Arisu and the kitsune Xiaomu, from the events of Namco x Capcom, putting the two games in continuity with each other. T-elos also appears as an enemy in the game, though their conflict (hinted but not explicitly said to be the events of Episode III) remains unresolved by the end, where they are presumed to have returned to their home dimension. She and T-elos have also been confirmed to return in the sequel, Endless Frontier EXCEED, while this time also receiving support from MOMO. T-elos appears as an enemy, but at some point in the game joins the party as a support character as well. Both games also feature the two main characters from Namco x Capcom, whom KOS-MOS recognises, placing the two series' in continuity with each other.
- KOS-MOS also appears in Project X Zone, also by Monolith Soft, alongside T-elos.

Here some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
Can we talk about MNSN, and the community/support/chat etc?
(1000 Posts)
This thread may not be a good idea. I am severely sleep deprived (ds has decided yet again that sleep is for the weak, and I have had about 4 hours sleep since Sunday), and had the morning from hell getting dd2 off on a school trip - change of routine, needed ot wear tracksuit not uniform, different drop off/pick up - you all know the score. If you all think it is a bad idea, please feel free to report and have it deleted.
Can we have a thread where we try to sort out some of the perceived isues with MNSN?
I keep seeing, on the main boards, posts saying that MNSN is not suportive. That some faces don't fit. That it's not all it's cracked up to be.
Fine. I get that not everybody is the same, and may not want the same things form this board as me, or other posters. But it isn't really said here, and so we don't reallt get right of reply.
It's a bit like talking about us behind our backs.
I know there have ben disagreements and differences over the years. I have been part of some of them, but on the whole I thought we muddled through quite well - expcially given that we are all under a reasonable amount of stress most of the time, and that we all face fairly different challenges on a daily basis.
So - what do people want form MNSN? Is there anything we (as a community) can do to welcome people who feel left out? Anythign we can do to help posters who lurk rather than post?
I am rather hoping htis might be a moving forward discussion, rather than a re-hash of any he said/she said grievances. BUt as I said earlier, maybe this is entirely misguided. Sorry if it is.
grin - did you just ask if I am Dolfrog <gasp> how very dare you!
I think most of my more, ahem, enraged spirited posts over the years have been when in conversation with Dolfrog, tbh.
I do understand why people namechange. It's jsut I am hopeless with keeping up with it - and especially if other posters have cottoned on, it can mean I think 'oh well, they're getting help' and move on.
PrinceRogers - you came across well in your post. I am sorry if you haven't been answered sometimes. I think we have all been guilty, at some point, of clicking on a thread, reading, thinking we have nothing to add/can't help, and then clicking away.
hazey - it does seem very ASD heavy at times, I agree. I don't know why we don't get as many 'other' posters here. I can see why chat threads can be a good idea, but I am wary of moving useful, helpful discussion away from the board - chat threads can be time consuming ot keep up with, and useful info can easily be lost that way <selfish>
thanks to everyone for posting - this could have gone badly wrong, but I hope it has been at least a little useful.
Oh and NEB - I want to hear about life in the future..... Light at the end of the tunnel is most welcome
If rather the board wasn't seen as a 'thing' that had to be a certain way or fixed as a certain thing. To me the board is just everyone who posts. Its very different to how it was 10 years ago. Thats cool... things move on.
Once it starts to be about ' ownership it becomes a little weirdy imo and people stop making adjustments for difference.
Think people just need to chill a bit tbh
wot troutspout said
I don't think anyone is trying to fix the board a certain way, or take 'ownership'
A few posters here have said it used to be different, but that things change, and c'est la vie. Fine, all well and good.
There are other posters who are not feelign so included, and not feeling comfortable. since the board is generally about support and helping those who are struggling for whatever reason, it might be nice to see if we could work out why some people are feeling excluded.
It would be nice and maybe we can help them with that but maybe we can't.
There are a lot of overstretched people here doing their best to live the semblance of a normal life.
If people post respectively, and try to do their best to offer help, I'm not sure what else we can or should do.
Ownership? I didn't think that's what we were discussing. In fact, I thought Silverfrog's OP was entirely the opposite - how do we address the feelings of posters who may be expressing a sense of discomfort about posting here because they feel that they do not 'belong'.
The board was ASD heavy for a while. I felt at that time, that posters only wanted to hear from people with direct (familial) exp of ASD. Either thread titles and OPs have shifted, or I am in a better place, because I don't read them as being so 'exclusive' now. I've either got to a better place with DD1 having an undefined SN or I've got a bit tougher and think 'stuff that I'm posting anyway.' Who knows?
It's interesting that there has been a massive rise in PDA threads - it's the new 'thing' to be aware of.
There is never going to be a surge of 'squiffy brain with genetic element but no known reason or identified condition', I think
"squiffy brain"
'squiffy brain with genetic element but no known reason or identified condition'
This is exactly what makes this place necessary - things can be hard, and the black clouds never seem to pass...and then someone posts something that describes exactly how it is and makes you giggle at the same time.
I don't think it is possible tbh. I thought a poster (with a name I didn't recognise - so hey, was responding to a perceived 'new' poster with support) had come up with an excellent idea, so I said that, and followed it with 'cheers' and their response was that I had dampened their spirit 'as always'.
I don't have a clue where to go from there tbh .
I think most of us would have been confused by that response!
Some people have a lot of baggage that neither they or us can cope with. All we can do is make an attempt to be supportive, and not get distressed if that is not what they were looking for. We don't really know each other, so we are bound to put a foot wrong without knowing why on occasion.
I am not a big poster maybe because I am really slow at typing and the moment is gone by the time I post!
I find this board really helpful with lots of help and advice which can be gleaned just by reading people's threads.
I am a bit anxious about posting too much as I feel I am very identifiable in real life. I have two dc with disabilities including a rare distinctive condition.
Maybe I am just too self conscious!
Anyway recently I put a thread up about trying to get respite care for ds and Bigbluebus wrote a fantastic response and I followed her advice and now we have respite. I am so grateful as just one nugget of information can really help sometimes.
I feel everyone seems very kindly on here and I am staggered when people take the time to write a well thought out helpful reply.
What is the betting this thread has moved on now as I have been so slow...
for MNSN
???? Starlight always found you incredibly helpful and quite upbeat bit miffed at that
I think the SN section is very supportive most of the time. I don't use it so much these days as ds is much older (and technically has moved from SN to druggie ) so the problems and solutions have changed for me) - I post mostly in teenagers now.
I think there are two problems. The first is newbies who have just heard that their child has a diagnosis and are really traumatised. I think those of us who are further along the road should accept that trauma, the denial, the "why me?" resentment, the "why can't my child be normal" without immediately jumping to defensive mode and saying "your child is normal; are you implying there is something wrong with mine" iyswim. So a bit more understanding of newbies would be good - and if those posts piss you off, hide them.
The second problem is the "degree" of disability experienced by different parents. For me, school problems were the worst, with some behavioural issues at home. Compared to some, my life was easy and wasn't affected much, at the time, by SN. But to me it was majorly affected.
Again, I think if people think "oh, that isn't really much of a problem; lots of people have it much worse", then again, better to hide the thread.
I have also suggested that the SN board should be split up and instead of the present categories there should be SN - Support and SN - Discussion. And those who just want support can hide the Discussions (which are the ones that get nasty) until they feel strong enough to deal with them.
And then the tumbleweed topics (such as SN teens) should be in stickied threads at the top of the SN - Support section, so there could be an ongoing thread for example for parents of children with profound needs, parents of teens reaching 18 and theoretical independence , that type of thing. So people with similar problems looking for similar help could find each other.
Interestingly, I first posted her eleven years ago when ds was diagnosed with AS.
There wasn't a single person on the board with a child with ASD .
The SN section has come a long way since then.
I think it's easy for it to end up ASD heavy, since about 1% of children are affected by ASD. Even then, I think we've ascertained (even by my own straw poll of 2 boys) that "kids with ASD" is a far from homogeneous group, anyhow.
And lougle iirc, isn't it your DD1 with her "squiffy brain" who, written about in the abstract, seems very similar to my DS2, with his ASD? If it is, they seem to have more in common than DS2 does with DS1!
I have had great support from this board over the last 3 years and at times it has been my only support.
A few people have left during the time I have been around but generally that has been due fall out from other boards.
I think it's impossible to work out "why some people don't feel included".
There are people in all walks of life who are less secure, and need reassurance that they are alright. I find most of the threads where it ends up with "you just don't want me here" that that has never been said and is refuted by multiple posters multiple times.
I'm actually beginning to hit a sort of compassion failure, which really me. I have very very many needy people in RL who need gentle and comprehensive care. If someone is really determined to feel left out on line there is only so much I can do. I try to withdraw now.
I don't see cliques on line though there are posters I am slightly in awe of.
I love the humour and the bluntness. I love that I can share what I think about sn, and ds, and professionals and you guys get it.
Sometimes I cry at the awful endless paper cuts of horror that is part of our lives.
I love to hear the triumphs big and small.
All my "knowledge" is parenting stuff, and the things I think in the dark of the night. I hav nothing else. I will never work outside the home. I will never be off duty, having people listen to me and occasionally find what I say useful is such an extraordinary unexpected pleasure.
ZZZZ. That is an amazing post - as ever.
I agree with that zzzz.
I have never seen anyone tell anyone else they are not wanted here.
I have seen people say "you don't want me", but that is different.
I am a fairly resent poster, and must admit any issues must have gone right over my head! Having struggled to get my sons needs accepted and diagnosed ,I feel having somewhere that helps others see that is the usual process is very reassuring. I'm always on here! I use quotes from here to help me deal with professionals and stop them from intimidating me and also I must admit to having a need to talk to someone some how when things are tough without getting told he will grow out of it or that he will realise that's naughty soon.....diagnosis or not people with NT kids can't seem to get it.
So I am grateful to you all, absolutely no complaints!
I love the board just as it is. The banter along with it. Not really been here that long so dont know what it was previously like but long enough to know that when I was at my lowest ebb and in denial there was someone here at silly oclock in the morning that took me seriously and directed me in the right direction without plain saying "for gods sake its obvious!"
I am forever grateful to the SN board for this and I wouldnt change it for the world.
And no I have never read someone stating that they are not welcome or wanted here.
I like the mix of people. Some say it like it is and some approach softly softly. Remembering all the time that none of us are professionals in the SN world other than parents who have learnt a lot along the way and stored it up for future use. I like the fact that there are differences of opinion and different angles of approach. There is something for everyone here I think.
Iv'e been around for about 3 years and I have never felt excluded or marginalised... I don't do anything else internetty, IYSWIM, so I approached MNSN as I would a RL group of people, lurked a bit, till i felt comfy, posted a bit, if I felt I had something to say, got comfy with you, and then just chatted, helped when I could shared when I needed/wanted to. I have been helped enormously over the years...
Yes there have been some 'spats' and I have thought blimey I'm not gonna get into that conversation! but that's life, people feel strongly about stuff, (just like in RL again).
I am a bit worried now that (for the first time ever) I called someone a troll (but that was as rude as I got) and it was the horrid thread about being able to keep any 'thing' alive these days...
perhaps I am a bit odd, in that I kind of think of you all sort of down the pub with me, an open group anyone can join, but one that has existing conversations going on. We all budge up and make room on the seat for anyone to join us, and make them feel welcome, but if a group of people all arrive at the same time and suddenly started having a conversation about a certain topic that hadn't been discussed previously I would find it a bit odd, and it might feel a bit of a 'set up' (in my pub analogy).
Hope that made sense..
I am kind of a newbie to the SN world and I guess this board, but I have always found you guys great and I love the fact that I can get honest, straight forward advice.
I am still discovering how my DS is affected and still very much learning about his issues- this board has helped with so many areas of my life with DS, from being assertive with proffs and helping me gain perspective when getting caught up in the labels/terms used, It has also helped me see things from others points of view, stopped me getting stuck in a train of thought that is not helpful and given me a kick up the bum and take action sooner rather than later.
It's just sooo nice to have people that 'get it'.
It has also given me the confidence and conviction to stating what my son needs, and challenging the rubbish that tends to come out of people/LEA mouths.
I have gained so much insight and my family would not be as strong without my ability to vent, cry and sort out issues at hand without wearing down people in RL.
Im new and id just like to say in the short time ive been here ive felt supported included and valued.
Particularly had alot of help from Lougle, starlight and polter so a big thank you to the above posters any everyone else here who takes the time to help parents struggling.
People also seem to remember my story which doesnt happen on many other boards.

tomorrow is the mandatory conversion date for an additional 1 billion in common stock, which was necessary for the acquisition of WHI. also, old news for all savvy investors.http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Popular-to-Convert-Depositary-bw-4223190179.html?x=0&.v=1should the market absorb those additional shares well, without any substantial decrease in the price, which I believe it will given the WHI acquisition, then we will start going up. patience.
I'm assuming the big boys have priced tomorrow's billion shares into today's price...hope that's a good assumption. can't imagine anyone with that much money would be dumb enough to dump all their stock at one time and lose all their profits.
My understanding was that the conversion would create an additional 383 million common shares. It does not add 1 billion shares as you seem to suggest.

Search Engine Watch | July 30, 2012 | Comments
Charming knitting videos help reach out to customers.
Some knitters can teach, some can create fabulous knitwear designs. But few have parlayed their flair for instruction, talent for design, and penchant for entrepreneurship into a successful Internet business like Staci Perry of verypink.com.
As a knitter for more than 35 years and knitting teacher in local yarn shops, Perry now uses YouTube to share her charming instructional videos and cool knitwear patterns with needlecraft enthusiasts around the world. She publishes a new video every week – a discipline that keeps verypink.com at the top of natural search results on YouTube.
"Video is the ideal medium for knitting lessons, especially for visual learners who can replay the content as often as they need to," Perry said. Not surprisingly, the knitwear pattern that has the best sales stats, "Learn to Knit Socks part 1 - Getting Started," is also the most popular video on her branded YouTube channel with more than 175,000 views.
Perry and her business partner A. Parker Severson, who is also a video producer, have produced close to 200 video knitting lessons that have been viewed more than 3.3 million times on the VeryPink Knits channel.
YouTube has transformed Perry's business from a tiny local effort into a global company.
"My mantra is give a lot, take only a little," she said.
Her upbeat, professional personality is definitely a competitive advantage, augmenting her freemium business concept featuring free, entertaining, clear, concise video instruction thanks to YouTube.
If the viewer is interested in getting the pattern to complement the video instruction, they can download the pattern for $4-$12 from VeryPink.com.
What sets VeryPink apart from other knitting channels is instant gratification. Perry's competition mostly sells instructional DVDs, which can be a barrier to easy entry for knitters eager to get started on projects right away. But the immediacy of YouTube video, the constantly refreshed content and clear messaging is what keeps viewers coming back for more instruction, and the needed materials.
Most uptake happens organically and by word of mouth, but VeryPink also uses YouTube TrueView in-search and in-display ads to get their videos at the top of search queries. Perry and Severson bid on keywords common to all knitters for about 3 cents a view.
"It's totally worth it," Perry said. "To bring in a new subscriber who doesn't have to buy anything, and opts to watch the entire lesson for just a few pennies – that's an amazingly low cost of acquisition."
When Perry notices popular search terms for certain topics, like "how to knit a spiral scarf," and she has no lesson about that, she will create one, effectively using search as a market research tool. Being so tuned in to customer demand via search helps her build community and sell more patterns.
VeryPink boasts an average 10 percent view-through rate of people clicking on her TrueView in-search ads to view the video. Heavy social engagement and viral reposts add even further value to the effectiveness of the ad buy. She has been able to control her spend at a modest level that's below $100 a month.
Perry's views are not limited to North America. She takes the time to transcribe each video so that captions can be accurately translated using Google Translate. Since her tutorial videos are closed-captioned in multiple languages, knitters everywhere can watch her lessons. Her videos are most popular in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada, but customers also hail from Greece, Turkey, Thailand, Italy, India, and Syria.
Being a YouTube partner allows Perry to enable ads from other advertisers to appear on her YouTube channel – advertisers that sell complementary products likely appeal to the same profile as a VeryPink knitter.
"At first we were unsure about turning on this functionality on YouTube, but it is already adding a lot of value to our already effective YouTube advertising campaigns," she said.
"We did dip our toe into spending money on ads, and we continue to build these ads because they are so cost-effective. If we get a subscriber from ten views it's well worth it. That subscriber might one day become a customer," echoes Severson.
Perry would advise her fellow entrepreneurs to "test, test, test, and don't think you're too small to make an impact."
By posting great educational content on YouTube, establishing a look and style, and focusing primarily on relationships versus sales, small businesses can build and monetize audiences.
"I'm here to tell you it works," Perry said.

Send Anuoluwapo a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed Anuoluwapo or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
My name is Anuoluwapo, and as international student I have to say I have studied quite a number of ways to grasp different subjects. I generally tutor with an intent of helping my student understand the basis or principles on which complex ideas build. If you know your ABCs you can most likely spell FLABBERGASTED with help.
As for helping my students be better scholars overall, I like to help them find their study patterns, and this is unique to every individual. I benefited from finding my study pattern, and I am glad I did.
If you do consider me to be your tutor, remember one thing, "we are always going to shoot for the top, because the bottom is just too crowded with mediocrity".
Personally, I was not the best of students academically while I was growing up, but I was able to get an understanding of learning as I progressed. And as a start I first helped my younger brother out with the difficulties he was facing academically, he is doing very well in school now. I worked with NJIT center for Pre-college programs for 2 summers, and it really helped me to grasp an understanding of the different hurdles High-school students need to cross to unleash their potential. I tutored over 50 kids in total over those two summers, and I received feedback that a couple of them went on to do great the following school year. I also held a physics study group in my first year of college, and I was able to help my classmates achieve their goals respectfully.
I believe in making things interesting, finding the common ground between myself and my students, and pulling out solutions to their academic problems, from there. I'll use Oranges and Apples to solve an algebraic problem, if my student loves apples and Oranges.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have experience tutoring high school and middle school students, as I have worked with NJITs center for pre-college programs, for two years now. I am an Architecture student by major, with a minor in Civil Engineering.
I am a physics tutor in my college, and I have been doing it for two years now. Also, I have worked with NJIT center for pre-college programs for two years, as a physics and math teaching assistant... And as such, I have acquired skills to adequately help students... Especially younger students who require patience.
Standard Hourly Fee: $30.00
Cancellation: 24 hours notice required
