Full disclosure: I love Paul Verhoeven's movies. I'm a fan of RoboCop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers...and, yes, even Showgirls. (Stay tuned for more about Showgirls later in this series.) These movies may not be cinematic masterpieces, but they are entertaining, escapist fun. So when I decided to give Basic Instinct a try, I was actually looking forward to it. I expected to enjoy it, even if only in a campy sense.
Oh, how wrong I was.
As I've read through the comments on my first two posts (thank you for those, by the way!), I've noticed an interesting trend that relates to what I want to talk about today: A lot of folks seem to have mixed feelings about the word "bisexual." Some are uncomfortable using it because of the way others react to hearing it; some prefer other words to describe non-monosexual attraction, such as pansexual, queer, or fluid. I understand the reasons why "bisexual" doesn't work for everyone (for a long time, it didn't work for me, either), and I'm not interested in dictating language choice or policing identities. Labels are personal, and different people react to words differently. However, I am interested in exploring the reasons why people choose the labels they do and, similarly, the reasons why many people resist the label of "bisexual."
Which brings me to Cynthia Nixon.
In 2005, Brittany Blockman and Josephine Decker took a road trip across the United States and interviewed people about bisexuality. The result of their project was a documentary film: Bi the Way. In order to understand the fictional images of bisexuality that fill our cinema and television screens, it's important to take some time to analyze the ways in which bisexuality is depicted in nonfiction media. Bi the Way is a good starting place, since it's a film that allows its subjects to speak honestly and freely, without an overt agenda from the filmmakers. But is that enough to make it a compelling film that advances realistic bisexual visibility?
Over the next eight weeks, I will explore both progressive and problematic depictions of bisexuality in order to see how far we've come and how much progress still needs to be made. Together, we will look at examples in film, television, music, celebrity culture, and new media. And, with any luck, we will be able to start a discussion about what the media could be doing to increase realistic and positive depictions of bisexual identities and, by extension, advance bisexual acceptance.
This is my final post for The H-Word, where I say thanks and you tell me what you loved and hated.
I wanted to be beautiful. I wanted to be taken care of. I wanted to be rescued. I was sexualized long before I sexualized myself. Even as a child, I knew the way men looked at me. I knew what it meant. In Mexico, men called out in the street and hissed when I walked past. Even older men—friend's fathers, male teachers—even as a little girl. Even in grade school, I knew what it meant to be a woman and I was no longer a little girl. At nineteen years old, I was well aware that my body had become a woman's body. Even as a child, I knew what that was worth.
The H-Word presents first person stories from current and former sex workers across the U.S. Jessie Nicole describes herself as a queer, stubborn, and committed anarcha-feminist. A former prostitute and dedicated activist, she lives in West Hollywood with her longterm partner. I asked Jessie to talk about why she no longer sells sex.
"Retired" feels like such an odd term to use when I'm about to turn 25 but, yeah, I can talk about retirement. If 1 is "I'd go back tomorrow" and 10 is "I'd rather starve first," I'm somewhere around an 8.
Earlier this month the Village Voice made public the findings of a study conducted by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, which looked to define the most vulnerable population of sex workers: underage prostitutes. According to the study, "The typical kid who is commercially exploited for sex in New York City is not a tween girl, has not been sold into sexual slavery, and is not held captive by a pimp." The study found that 45% were boys, 45% got into the business through friends, 90% were U.S. born, most serviced white, wealthy men and struck deals on the street (as opposed to the Internet). Importantly, 95% of respondents—70% of whom had sought assistance through a child service agency within the past year—said they exchanged sex for money "because it was the surest way to support themselves." According to these researchers, even the most at-risk segment of the sex worker population—underage sex workers—are going it alone, selling sex on their own volition, and perceive themselves as making a choice given their circumstances. Only 10% were involved with what the researchers labelled a "market facilitator" (aka pimp).
The H-Word presents first-person stories from current and former sex workers across the U.S. Maria is a 48-year-old hairdresser and artist who supplements her income selling sexual services to clients that she meets online. She talks about how petitions to shut down adult classifieds sections on sites like Craigslist and Backpage affect real women working in the industry.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 One day Jesus called together his twelve apostles and gave them power and authority to cast out demons and to heal all diseases. | 1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, |
2 Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the coming of the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. | 2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. |
3 "Don't even take along a walking stick," he instructed them, "nor a traveler's bag, nor food, nor money. Not even an extra coat. | 3 He told them: "Take nothing for the journey--no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. |
4 When you enter each village, be a guest in only one home. | 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. |
5 If the people of the village won't receive your message when you enter it, shake off its dust from your feet as you leave. It is a sign that you have abandoned that village to its fate." | 5 If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them." |
6 So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick. | 6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere. |
7 When reports of Jesus' miracles reached Herod Antipas, he was worried and puzzled because some were saying, "This is John the Baptist come back to life again." | 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed, because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead, |
8 Others were saying, "It is Elijah or some other ancient prophet risen from the dead." | 8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. |
9 "I beheaded John," Herod said, "so who is this man about whom I hear such strange stories?" And he tried to see him. | 9 But Herod said, "I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?" And he tried to see him. |
10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he slipped quietly away with them toward the town of Bethsaida. | 10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, |
11 But the crowds found out where he was going, and they followed him. And he welcomed them, teaching them about the Kingdom of God and curing those who were ill. | 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. |
12 Late in the afternoon the twelve disciples came to him and said, "Send the crowds away to the nearby villages and farms, so they can find food and lodging for the night. There is nothing to eat here in this deserted place." | 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here." |
13 But Jesus said, "You feed them." "Impossible!" they protested. "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish. Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?" | 13 He replied, "You give them something to eat." They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish--unless we go and buy food for all this crowd." |
14 For there were about five thousand men there. "Just tell them to sit down on the ground in groups of about fifty each," Jesus replied. | 14 (About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." |
15 So the people all sat down. | 15 The disciples did so, and everybody sat down. |
16 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples to give to the people. | 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people. |
17 They all ate as much as they wanted, and they picked up twelve baskets of leftovers! | 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. |
18 One day as Jesus was alone, praying, he came over to his disciples and asked them, "Who do people say I am?" | 18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?" |
19 "Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead." | 19 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life." |
20 Then he asked them, "Who do you say I am?" Peter replied, "You are the Messiah sent from God!" | 20 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God." |
21 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about this. | 21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. |
22 "For I, the Son of Man, must suffer many terrible things," he said. "I will be rejected by the leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. I will be killed, but three days later I will be raised from the dead." | 22 And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." |
23 Then he said to the crowd, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross daily, and follow me. | 23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. |
24 If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life. | 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. |
25 And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose or forfeit your own soul in the process? | 25 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self ? |
26 If a person is ashamed of me and my message, I, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of that person when I return in my glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. | 26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. |
27 And I assure you that some of you standing here right now will not die before you see the Kingdom of God." | 27 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God." |
28 About eight days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a mountain to pray. | 28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. |
29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothing became dazzling white. | 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. |
30 Then two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus. | 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, |
31 They were glorious to see. And they were speaking of how he was about to fulfill God's plan by dying in Jerusalem. | 31 appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. |
32 Peter and the others were very drowsy and had fallen asleep. Now they woke up and saw Jesus' glory and the two men standing with him. | 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. |
33 As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what he was saying, blurted out, "Master, this is wonderful! We will make three shrines -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." | 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.) |
34 But even as he was saying this, a cloud came over them; and terror gripped them as it covered them. | 34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. |
35 Then a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him." | 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." |
36 When the voice died away, Jesus was there alone. They didn't tell anyone what they had seen until long after this happened. | 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen. |
37 The next day, after they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd met Jesus. | 37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. |
38 A man in the crowd called out to him, "Teacher, look at my boy, who is my only son. | 38 A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. |
39 An evil spirit keeps seizing him, making him scream. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It is always hitting and injuring him. It hardly ever leaves him alone. | 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. |
40 I begged your disciples to cast the spirit out, but they couldn't do it." | 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not." |
41 "You stubborn, faithless people," Jesus said, "how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring him here." | 41 "O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here." |
42 As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a violent convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he gave him back to his father. | 42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. |
43 Awe gripped the people as they saw this display of God's power. While everyone was marveling over all the wonderful things he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, | 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, |
44 "Listen to me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed." | 44 "Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men." |
45 But they didn't know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they could not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. | 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. |
46 Then there was an argument among them as to which of them would be the greatest. | 46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. |
47 But Jesus knew their thoughts, so he brought a little child to his side. | 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. |
48 Then he said to them, "Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest." | 48 Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." |
49 John said to Jesus, "Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons. We tried to stop him because he isn't in our group." | 49 "Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." |
50 But Jesus said, "Don't stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you." | 50 "Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you." |
51 As the time drew near for his return to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. | 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. |
52 He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival. | 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; |
53 But they were turned away. The people of the village refused to have anything to do with Jesus because he had resolved to go to Jerusalem. | 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. |
54 When James and John heard about it, they said to Jesus, "Lord, should we order down fire from heaven to burn them up?" | 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them ?" |
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. | 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them, |
56 So they went on to another village. | 56 and they went to another village. |
57 As they were walking along someone said to Jesus, "I will follow you no matter where you go." | 57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." |
58 But Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but I, the Son of Man, have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head." | 58 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." |
59 He said to another person, "Come, be my disciple." The man agreed, but he said, "Lord, first let me return home and bury my father." | 59 He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." |
60 Jesus replied, "Let those who are spiritually dead care for their own dead. Your duty is to go and preach the coming of the Kingdom of God." | 60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God." |
61 Another said, "Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family." | 61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family." |
62 But Jesus told him, "Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God." | 62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." |

Movies in a Minute: The Smurfs 2
In Smurfs 2 the evil wizard Gargamel is out to gain more power and needs the Smurfette to achieve his goal. The Smurfs and their human friends are out to find and rescue the kidnapped Smurfette and end up finding her in Paris.
Now, I didn't expect much coming into this movie as I thought the first one was pretty bad, so I wasn't surprised to see that the second film didn't improve all that much.
But just because I didn't enjoy the film doesn't mean you or your children will not. Besides kids love anything played on a 40 foot screen.

much like will in good will hunting
my guess is he got her numbah
Doubt if Bill shows up at home tonight -- lots of appreciative women in expensive hotel rooms.
Kelly didn't do so well in the singing department though -- BUT Beyonce kicked butt.
I did get a kick out of the looks that "The Veeper" gave Beyonce. Biden's tongue was hanging out of his mouth --- however Biden's son looks like he swallowed some sour grapes.
For the first time in history, a president mentioned gay rights in his inaugural address.
For the first time in history, a president wants to do the right thing by us.
It is remarkable.
AS gay man I am proud of Obama as we are included in the events of today.
Great day. So proud of my president and being included in his speech and by the poet.
I thought his speech was powerful and rather moving. His recognition of gay rights is historical, but it also represents real leadership. His own stance on gay marriage progressed through his first term, his support of the issue now is strong and NOT politically prudent. Real leaders sometimes do what's right, not always what is expedient.
Despite unprecedented hostility, record filibustering and a stagnant global economy, Obama's first term achieved a surprisingly great deal of substantial policy achievement. I'm looking forward to his second "gloves-off" term.

You know, Cowpoke....Laura Bush is three million times the person the murderer Ted Kennedy was, EVER. She was horrified by what she did, and it was NOT intentional. Ted Kennedy was too concerned anout his political career to ever give a rats ass about what happened to his pregnant mistress, Mary Jo Kopechne...let her drown, maybe even intended to get rid of a problem that could cost his polotical career. Celebrate the inauguration all you want, but some people talk about sour grapes on the Republican side...well the only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore , in your face winner. So stfu regarding your joyful slandering of Laura Bush.
unofficial official mini meet Friday- Saturday April 11-12, 2014
In observation of all the big inaugural balls today:
Tell you what Saucer, I'll say whatever the Hell I want to about the Stepford First Lady. It's interesting another rightie defends her criminal (?) activities. Was she drunk when she ran the stop sign? Where is the original police report? I smell a coverup.
One thing is I do feel sorry for her with that dipshit drunk war criminal husband she remained married to. Good thing she told him to stop with the carousing or she was gonna leave him with her two trampy daughters. Or did that dried up old hag of a mother in law threaten her?
Four more years! It really sucks to be a bitter repug....
You could say that Laura Bush is better than Hitler too. She only killed one person. And what the fuck does Ted Kennedy have to do with anything? Comparing Laura's situation to Ted's situation is admitting she is a murderer only 3 million times better at it.
But leave it to Springer for thinking he has to defend Laura because she wears a pant suit. Guess pantsuit wearers need defending.
The agony repugs are feeling tonight. What's Romney and Lyin' Ryan doing?
Sour grapes!

How about the Russian Inauguration?
Don't you think it was embarrassing "presidential" walk with very little speeches ?
Obama's first day of his second administration is so boring to the 85% that they have to trash a former first lady.
It's going to be a long 1461 days. The countdown begins.
Yeah, they just HAVE to. It's not at all a single post, responding to another Republican bullshit. It's totally the ten topics we posted within two days out of boredom to bash Laura Bush.
Get real please, and stop trying to be sarcastic by using other people's words against them. You are woefully bad at it.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.

A quarter of the number of people there that were there four years ago, the seats were cleared in a matter of minutes, hardly anyone on the side of the road except very close to the WH. Want any other reasons?
Springer, you're the one who believes pant suits need defending and you did it by trashing the First Lady.
Where's your defending of a deceased Senator?
Is this "85%" a new collective term to describe those who were formally called The Dead?
I hope you're enjoying the inauguration festivities! Barack Obama is YOUR President too.
This was an amazing day. I caught myself singing along with our countries cherished songs. I thought all of the performers did an awesome job. This isn't the top forty. This is our country. I stood and sang the national anthem with the ceremony. Do you know the words and do you sing along as well? I was a bit embarrassed by the crooked handed salute of one of my brothers-in-arms. Only a bit though.
The thing that gives me an almost euphoric sensation is the idea that such immense power is transferred during this ceremony regularly, peacefully. It is truly an inspiration. Thank you all for mentioning the historic aspects of the Stonewall mention. I listened to the entire speech but I allowed it to wash over me instead of trying to analyze it.
I chuckled as I watched VP Biden after kissing his wife, his son's wife, and then his son, each of them on the cheek; He then approached the President. I could almost hear Obama saying "Don't kiss me bro" as Biden leaned in for a hug.
The cadence of each of their oaths was strained. I have taken and administered hundreds of oaths. You must practice if it is to be in front of a huge audience. Cadence is key.
The limo was impressive. I have seen it in a detailed show previously. It is an amazing machine. I think they said it gets ~8mpg. However, seeing it up close reminded me of how sturdy they build such a protected ride.
It still gives me goosebumps and makes my heart swell every time I hear that oath administered. It is not just an oath. They are not just words. He is merely a President. Yes merely a President. We all take that oath to defend the nation and the document which guides its course. That oath and that document is us. I hope we have bled enough for it in this generation. I sincerely hope we can move on. Move forward.
What a great, smaller inauguration appropriate to a second term and to get straight to work for the challenges of our times. I am proud to have voted for a president who stands for the ideals of inclusion, equality, and innovation for the future. There wasn't a single principle he stated in his speech that I disagreed with.
And wow!
For the first time in American history, President Obama singled out our gay community and told the nation that they will never be equal until they recognize us as equal citizens. That was a huge gesture. That was a defining moment in our civil rights history, and I wish some of you would have acknowledged that more, than harp on your disagreements with a political party. You have no idea just how significant that moment was to our civil rights history.

^ you're right JB
That was and is very cool and very good
There's no going back now
For that he deserves a special place
Indeed. When it comes down to it, all of us want to be recognized equally under the law. I will applaud any Democrat or Republican who stands up for us, even when it is unpopular to do so. In the end, we will have equality, but it will only come sooner by those leaders who will stand up with courage and conviction for us.

It was an excellent speech, in my opinion, - and better than the first one.

And as expected, the usual suspects here are all out to turn the whole thing into a slanderfest -- a striking example of how Congress has managed to demonize itself so thoroughly.
"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

'We're the Millers' Red Band Trailer: Same Old Jokes With an Extra Helping of Swear Words
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 1, 2013 | 1 CommentIt's likely you've already seen 8,000 ads for We're the Millers, director Rawson Marshall Thurber's latest comedy. But if you have some raw, unstoppable urge to see what a We're the Milers trailer would be like with the addition of several F-bombs (and a few bombs of other letters, too) then click on down to the video below. Bear in mind that this is a red band trailer, so as always it is NSFW.
Some films warrant red bands more than others, but We're the Millers doesn't seem like a movie calling out for an extended, dirtier look. Most of the footage present here is the same stuff on display in its myriad trailers and TV spots. The ideas are still the same, but this trailer cuts away just a little less so we can hear the swear words in the jokes we've already seen. And in one case, a naked butt.
Thurber has a respectable track record for comedies that border somewhere between genius and idiocy (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and the original Terry Tate: Office Linebacker short), but We're the Millers doesn't seem like it's quite up to par. Maybe all the movie's biggest laughs are hidden out of sight, away from the trailers, and that seeing the movie in its full form is the way to go. But judging by this red band, which would presumably have a few more of those hidden gems, it's not super likely.
We're the Millers hits theaters August 7, 2013 and stars Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Ed Helms and Emma Roberts.

Perfect storm of conditions froze Atlanta
The snowstorm that paralyzed Atlanta demonstrates how suburban sprawl, an over-burdened transportation system and a lack of political leadership can make a region vulnerable to disaster, says Rebecca Burns in Politico.

Is extreme cold snap more proof of global warming?
A few days of record-breaking cold weather don't "change the overall trajectory of a warming planet" and may actually be evidence of climate change; warmer temperatures in the North Pole weaken the jet stream and allow Arctic air "to escape the polar vortex and flow southward," says Bryan Walsh in Time.

With just about the whole nation feeling the chill, Wisconsin commentator Rick Horowitz pulled this winter advisory out of cold storage.

Vital lessons for Congress
Our opinion: The House OKs $50.7 billion for recovery from Sandy. Senate passage is expected quite soon. What will it take for disaster aid to be less political? This is a story of recovery. The support in Congress for $50.7 billion in aid for victims of Superstorm Sandy is what it will take for New York, […]

Before thanks, a few laments
Our opinion: While there's plenty to gripe about, even on Thanksgiving, it an remind us of what we're grateful for, too. We're going to break with tradition today and offer up some complaints. Oh, we've got plenty of thanks to offer, too. But the bad has a way of putting the good in perspective. We […]

What Sandy leaves behind
Our opinion: Superstorm Sandy is another affirmation of what scientists have been warning of. We're in the path of change whether we agree or not. It would be nice to think that once you have a 100-year storm, it'll be another 100 years before the next one comes. Or, if you have two, why then, […]

Reporters should be inside during storms
Covering the news sometimes involves risk, says Conor Friedersdorf in the Atlantic, but there's little news value in sending reporters out to cover dangerous weather conditions, when "a camera mounted at a street corner" can capture the same information, albeit in a less dramatic way.

Ah, winter?
Our opinion: No snow, next to no ice and very litte complaining by us. Oh, the rivalries that endure, the disputes to settle and, in time, the preferences to be tallied.

The long cleanup of Irene and Lee
Our opinion: The cleanup of the devastation left by this summer's storms proceeds far more slowly than politicians' upbeat press releases would suggest. It's time for a reality check, and openness. If reality resembled politicians' press releases, New Yorkers' biggest problem might be that they were overwhelmed by disaster aid dollars they couldn't spend fast […]

Keep politics off the farms
Our opinion: Rep. Gibson and Rep. Tonko push for funding for disaster aid for farmers. The gamesmanship over the federal budget demonstrates a disregard for the force of nature.

See also: GVSU Guidelines for the Preparation of Theses and Dissertations
Students who elect Track 2 must complete 27 credit hours of coursework in the program (including the required core courses) and may then begin work on a thesis. Students must follow these steps in writing the thesis:
- Select a thesis advisor and receive the advisor's approval of your topic. The thesis advisor must hold full graduate faculty qualification.
- Submit a prospectus (including thesis statement and bibliography) for approval of the advisor and the program director. (See Prospectus Guidelines below.) After the prospectus is approved, the student enrolls in ENG 695, Master's Thesis. A student may enroll for 1-3 credits per semester (a total of 6 are required to complete the thesis) and must enroll continuously for at least one credit each semester (including spring/summer) until the thesis is successfully defended and accepted.
- Select two other faculty members (regular or adjunct) who hold either regular or adjunct graduate faculty qualifications for your thesis committee.
- Submit a draft for suggested revisions from committee.
- Submit a final draft for approval by the committee. The minimum length for the thesis will be 50 pages (double-spaced, not including bibliography).
- The format of the completed thesis should follow the University Guidelines for Preparation and Theses and Dissertations: Click Here.
Prospectus Guidelines:
The prospectus gives the student a chance to clarify the topic and present the idea formally to the faculty member who is being asked to direct the thesis and to the program director, both of whom must approve the prospectus before the student enrolls in ENG 695, the thesis course. It is not expected that the argument of the thesis would be worked out completely, but it is important to have a hypothesis and to have done some initial research and thinking before committing a great deal of time to the project.
The prospectus should be approximately 4-6 pages (double-spaced), plus a provisional or working bibliography. It should do the following:
- Describe a focused topic
- State a provisional thesis
- Discuss how this work will fit with some of the existing scholarship on the topic
Once the thesis director and program director have reviewed the prospectus, they may approve it, decline to approve it, and direct the student to consider other topics, or suggest revisions and read it again before making a final decision. Their decision in any case should be given in writing, via mail or e-mail.
Thesis Front Matter: Include the following in this order: (These pages are not numbered. Page numbering begins with the first page of the text (page 1)).
Proquest provides additional formatting guidelines under "Preparing your manuscript for submission." User name: dissertations, Password: publish.
- Title Page (see sample Thesis Title Page (p.21)).
- Copyright Page (see sample Copyright Page.)
- Signature Page (signatures of advisers, i.e. thesis committee). This page will be prepared by the M.A. in English office and signed by the committee when the thesis is approved.
- Abstract (single-spaced, 150 words, see sample Abstract Page.)
- Dedication (if desired)
- Table of Contents
After the writing:
- Thesis defense. The thesis director will schedule a time for the defense when the entire committee can be present. The student must have registered for a total of at least 6 credit hours of ENG 695 before the defense is scheduled. The defense may be scheduled in summer, fall, or winter terms and should held be at least three weeks before the end of classes for that term. The revised draft of the thesis must be submitted to the committee at least two weeks prior to the defense date. Copies will be made available for other interested faculty members to read. All English Department faculty will be invited to attend the defense and participate in the discussion. The defense will be open to other English graduate students as observers.
- After the defense, the committee may require further revisions. If so, the student will have 30 days to submit the revised thesis for final determination. If the committee votes not to accept the thesis, the student will have the option of changing to Track 1, which would require taking 6 additional credit hours of coursework and passing the Qualifying Examinations.
- Once the thesis has been accepted, you may apply for copyright and must submit an electronic copy of your signature page (committee members, plus the dean of your college) to the Office of Graduate Studies for final approval and signature of the Dean of Graduate Studies. Once approved, you will submit a final electronic copy of your thesis to ScholarWorks@GVSU, the university's electronic repository for scholarship (firstname.lastname@example.com).
- Contact the Registrar's Office to initiate a graduation audit.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I bought Mario Party 8 as part of a bundle package about two years ago when we first got our Wii. One of the main draws of the Nintendo-created system was being able to play some games with those kooky plumbers again after years of Sony Playstation-loyalty. I also wanted a game that my kids stood some chance of playing with the grown-ups. This party-style game sounded up our alley. Rated E for mild cartoon violence, Mario Party was one of the earliest releases for the Wii system back in 2007. It is a game for 1-4 players with a festive, colorful, carnival theme. Familiar characters from the Super Mario world such as Princess Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Wario, Boo, Shy Guy, DK, and Bowzer all make appearances. There are tons of mini-games, several board game-style activities in which you choose how many turns are played, and tons of extras to unlock in the Fun Bazaar with the Carnival Cards you collect by winning games. The main play occurs in the Party Tent, where 1-4 players can compete in a Battle Royale, two teams can battle in Tag Battle, or two characters (1 player vs. the computer or 2 players) can participate in a Duel Battle. We generally play the Tag Battle so that two players can team up and face two computer-controlled characters. This is a great way to inspire some teamwork in your kids. My daughter who is five and a half was starting to show some fierce competitiveness against a friend while playing a different Wii game and we've found that having the two girls play on the same team in Mario Party 8 works out so much nicer. They are able to do most of the games without any trouble though they do need some help reading the instructions for the numerous mini-games. But they love the board game style of turn taking, eating the candy boosts along the way, collecting coins and stars, and all the kooky fun and mischievous carnival antics. I enjoy playing this game with my daughter, too. Often I sit my little guy (he's 2 1/2) on my lap and can play this game with him alongside my daughter. It's not hard to play and the turn-taking gives me breaks to start dinner, change a diaper, or throw a load of laundry in the washing machine. The graphics are cartoonish but well done. I do suggest you have a good quality large TV to play on since the colors and clutter of the screen can be a bit much on a lower-end set. The first few times we played, the bright colors, chimey music, and abundance of screen visuals was a bit overwhelming for my eyes. But I tend to hate real carnivals for pretty much the same reasons. The music gets stuck in your head but not in a catchy, melodic way. It's just high-pitched and semi-annoying, but tolerable. We play this game sporadically so we have not unlocked all of the mini-games, Fun Bazaar extras like having a "very hard" setting, or even all of the characters to select. We haven't even tried playing the Extras Zone mini-games with our Mii characters. Still, there's enough to begin with and enough that unlocks along the way that we're happy with this game. There are lots of weird twists in the board game play, such as DK popping in as the driver of Shy Guy's Express train and handing out free stars (the player or team with the most stars wins), King Boo shaking up the layout of his game board to confuse players, or Chump Charity awarded to the losing player toward the end of gameplay. The bonus stars awarded at the end of the board games also add an element of surprise as to who the winner will be. Most of the mini-games are controlled similarly so there's not much difficulty in learning how to play. The instructions, controls info, and practice allow even young players the ability to quickly pick up the needed skill. The mini-games vary from shooting ghosts to scooter races to swinging baseball bats to cutting ropes that may or may not fling the character off a mountain. There's tons of variety and all have cute, fun elements such as seeing the loser being chased in the background in the ghost shooting game or having the winners shoot paintballs at the losers in the mushroom-color-changing activity. It's silly fun that's appreciated by my little ones (ages 2 ½ and 5 ½) as well as my husband, myself, and our friends. After a while, a lot of the Big Hat ringmaster dialogue gets annoying but it's easy enough to click through. We only have two controllers but this is a great party game if you have four. A friend of ours does and it makes for some good times. This is a game the whole family can enjoy. There is a lot going on in the screens so make sure you have your glasses on and you're not easily confused by the commotion and music of a carnival atmosphere.

Follow-Up Postings:
I take pictures of this plant every year. My other pictures are dated May 4th for 2010 and May 6 for 2011. It blooms briefly so that is how much earlier things are this season. Glenda's beautiful lavender poppy picture was posted in June; I'll bet they will be earlier this year. |
Your are right! I have peonies and a few poppies in bloom. My roses are starting too which is about a month early. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 15:05
No peonies but my jackmanii clematis is blooming and I think that usually happens some time in May. I could get used to this. Peonies remind me of my dad's mother. She had some light pink ones and I have a very vivid memory of those being soaked in rain and sulking like they do when they're wet. I don't know why I remember that. I must've been very young. |

Here are some of the thoughts I've had about Les Blogs in the last few days, in no particular order:
1. Nice to meet Tara Hunt in person finally. Ditto with Shel Israel. P.S. Have you bought Shel's new book yet?
2. I was very impressed with David Sifry. Passion and lucidity; an unbeatable combo. [QUOTE:] "The web is a conversation stream. Hyperlinks are not a link between documents, but a form of social gesture."
3. Rebecca and Ethan. You guys rock.
4. Two nights ago I ended up in a Cuban Bar with a trio of Irish bloggers. Paris plus Celts plus rum equals Big Fun. Nice metting Tom, Ed and Piaras.
5. One thing you notice in Paris is how, unlike London, the street people don't seem to be junkies. And they're generally a lot older. And there are A LOT of them.
6. People often complain about how few bloggers are women. A perfectly valid point, however nothing is stopping the chicks from blogging. Hell, if a fashion model can do it…
7. Frequent topic of conversation from French entrepreneurs: (A) How utterly fucked France is economically and (B) How they can't wait to emigrate.
8. Frequent conversation topic: Les Blogs has far too many suits, Reboot has far too many people with dumb shoes. Classic suits vs. geeks scenario. Both need the other, but can never get used to the fact etc.
9. Sunday night a whole group of bloggers went out and basically took over a restaurant for about 4 hours. Food and drink galore. Microsoft picked up the tab.
10. I like Maryam Scoble a whole lot. She's got what I would call an infectious personality. Looking forward to seeing her and Robert in London this weekend, at the Geek dinner.
11. Marc Canter caught napping. Iconic.
12. The accusation that bloggers are nothing more than a bunch of saddo pyjama-clad losers is getting old. (A) A lot of bloggers I know do interesting things, often for millions of dollars. (B) The people who like to call them "losers"- what the hell are they doing that is so frickin' interesting? Besides holding down a hack-ass cube job at Hearst, Time Warner or WPP, I mean.
13. Loic Le Meur, the organiser of Les Blogs, seemed a lot less stressed out than at Les Blogs 1.0 back in April.
14. One of the nice things about these blog meetups is getting to see Heiko again. Besides that, he took a lot of great photos over the 2 days.
15. That differences between blogging and podcasting are artificial.
16. Hooked up with Sigurd. Am off to visit him in France soon after Christmas. We have two new projects we're working on.
17. Though I have disagreed quite stongly with Ben Metcalfe and Dennis Howlett in the past, I must say I found their company over the weekend delightful.
18. Ben Hammersley, a long-time Savile Row customer, mentioned to me that he might shortly become an English Cut customer. No worries if it never happens, but it's nice to be considered in these matters.
19. Sadly, I missed this one, but everybody was talking about it when I arrived late for Day Two: Years from now, people will be saying to Mena Trott, "Oh, you're the gal who called Ben Metcalfe an asshole." The fact that she said this during her "Why can't we be nicer to people" speech wasn't lost on her mostly European audience. Personally, I thought this was probably no big deal. Just a normal case of a West Coast Yank and a Brit not getting each other. Happens a lot.
20. Kudos to Suw for having me on her panel.
21. People told me more than once how I'm not posting enough new cartoons anymore. I agree. That being said, I've drawn over 5,000 of the buggers in the last few years, and I'm enjoying taking a wee break from it. I'll get back on it once I can be bothered buying a new scanner etc.
22. An event where everyone is smarter than you is far more fun than an event where everyone is dumber than you [You have so gotta read this gem from 2003].
23. Funny comparing the state of the blogosphere between now and Les Blogs 1.0. in early 2005. Back then the buzz was, "It looks like we were right after all". This time it was more, "OK, so now what?"
24. One line I said during my panel discussion that I kept hearing repeated after by others was: "Real People don't scale." So far I've come up with about 20 ways of explaining what I meant by that.
25. Great to run into Alex again.
26. One tiresome theme that keeps popping up: "What is the future of blogs?" Dumb question. Nobody knows. And anyway, if we knew where it was going, we'd already be there by now. The reality is, there's twenty million of us (or whatever stat you prefer). People will continue to try things. Some things will work, some things won't, and we'll adjust our radar accordingly. Snowballs. Lots of snowballs. Exactly.

Europeana and European Parliament join forces to mark events that shaped Europe
WW1 and the fall of the Iron Curtain, two events that shaped the Europe we know today will be commemorated at the European Parliament in unique style. A family history roadshow, digitising personal memorabilia of MEPs for these two seminal periods of European history, is taking place in the Parliament.
On 2 and 3 December, Shaping Europe will mark the centenary commemoration of WW1 and the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain. Members of the European Parliament and Parliament staff are invited to bring along their personal and family memorabilia to be digitised and to share the stories behind them through Europeana's two major thematic websites Europeana 1914-1918 and Europeana1989.eu.
Monika Grütters, the German Minister of State for Culture said at the beginning of this year: 'Europeana is a great bridge builder. In a wonderful way, it is founding connections between cultural institutions across Europe. It is making an important contribution to European cooperation and understanding across borders and tranches of history.'
For the past three years, Europeana 1914-18 and Europeana 1989 have worked with citizens and our cultural institutions across Europe to create online archives that provide a unique perspective on these two seminal events, which can be shared worldwide. The two collection days at the Parliament, add to 150 held across Europe over the last 4 years and directly connect citizens to their cultural heritage.
Jill Cousins, Executive Director of Europeana Foundation said: 'Europeana 1914-1918 and Europeana 1989 connects our state history with our personal memories. They show the power of a Europe connected through its cultural institutions and our shared heritage'.
MEP and one of the initiators of the European Parliament's resolution on European Conscience and Totalitarianism (2009), Mr. Tunne-Väldo Kelam is one of those who have already shared their story through Europeana 1989 and the 89 voices project. He said, 'One of our main objectives at the European Parliament has been to develop a balanced understanding and approach to European history as a whole. Because we noticed that our colleagues and friends in Western and Southern Europe know very little about what happened in the East. We should establish a political balance to recognise these [totalitarian, Nazi and Communist] crimes and express solidarity with the victims.'
Senior representatives from the EU institutions, Member States and cultural organisations will gather at the commemoration, hosted by five members of the European Parliament and its committee of Culture and Education: Ms. Silvia Costa, Ms Sabine Verheyen, Ms. Petra Kammerevert, Mr Maura Barandarián and Ms. Helga Trϋpel. The event will mark the role of these two formative periods in shaping Europe.
On 3 December evening, a reception will be held to mark the importance of culture to the formation of the European Union and the role of the Member States in Europeana 1914-1918 and Europeana 1989. The reception will be attended by Commissioner Tibor Navracsics, Culture, Education, Youth and Sport and Mr Bodgan Andrzej Zdrojewski, MEP and former minister for Culture, Poland.

Everything has been created through him and for him. | 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. |

Roundup. Coila Evans loves Roundup.
"I think it's a charming place to live," Evans said. "I think people forget how charming it is."
To prove how much she loves the town of about 1,800 residents, the artist painted "I love Roundup" on a wall in front of her home, a converted storefront on Main Street.
The design is simple. It consists of only four symbols - the letter "I," a heart, a circle and an arrow pointing up.
Evans, an oil painter by trade, has been using the symbol for almost 10 years with her art businesses. The simple design brags to others about where she is from, while providing a cohesive symbol used to identify her work.
"Branding is so important in so many ways," she said "I think it grows a real sense of ownership and pride."
This summer she decided to share in the sense of pride she has in her community, by getting T-shirts screen-printed for other residents to purchase.
"I have sold quite a few, approximately 70," she said. "I'm going to place an order for an additional 15 or 20."
Proceeds from the T-shirt sales will go back into creating art to sell displaying the symbol, and some will go to creating more public art in the Roundup community.
"I'm going to save it and reinvest it in more products," she said.
She recently purchased a storefront at 119 Main St. and plans to operate her massage studio out of the back of the shop. It will have space for locally produced products and art in the front.
"You walk into my store and you will see my products, and I want to have an extension of Montana artists," she said. Her goal is to have the store stocked by the annual Roundup Christmas Stroll, which typically happens at the beginning of December.
Her first public art project is still in the works, and will be a mural depicting the history of Roundup in silhouette, she said. "I would like to put a historical timeline of Roundup on the side of the building."
She hopes to get art students and Roundup residents together to come up with the design before its painted on the wall. The hope is to get others excited about public art, which could spur future projects.
"I think having public art will help our community grow in a positive way," she said. "I think it brings communities together and helps promote awareness."

Polar Fleece inventor now pushing wool
Doug Hoschek spent the 1980s traveling the country selling his new invention — Polar Fleece, which he says he invented in 1980.

Although his claim to fame is the innovation of synthetic textiles, Hoschek argues that Oregon could have a bright future in wool.

Danny Sullivan | March 23, 2005 | Comments
MSN's entering paid search with a full-blown self-service paid listing program.
At an annual gathering of its most important advertisers last week, MSN officially announced during it will enter the paid search arena with a full-blown self-service paid listing program similar to those run by Yahoo and Google. The program will be tested in France and Singapore within the next six months. A date for a worldwide rollout hasn't been set.
I and others have long expected MSN would establish its own program, something that seemed inevitable once Yahoo announced it would purchase Overture in 2003. The move meant Overture -- which had been providing paid listings to both Yahoo and MSN -- effectively lost its "neutrality" and really couldn't continue to be a long-term partner for MSN.
In addition, MSN had already decided at that point to build its own crawling technology to produce editorial listings. Developing a paid listings capability seemed almost a requirement, given competitors Google and Yahoo have their own programs.
Wider Rollout Date Not Set
How about launches of the currently nameless beyond France and Singapore? MSN isn't saying when that will happen. Given the six-month horizon we have, don't expect more launches until the end of the year, earliest. MSN doesn't need to rush. Its paid-listings deal with Yahoo runs through June 2006.
MSN's program is set to operate on a broad match basis, similar to Google's. Advertisers will also be able to target specific words and phrases, in addition to having exclusion options.
Beyond Google's and Yahoo's programs, the new MSN program will offer features such as dayparting, geotargeting, and demographic targeting based on age group or lifestyle.
Until the new program rolls out, MSN will continue its long-standing Featured Sites in the U.S., where advertisers spending at least $75,000 per month can get top placement for terms they want to target, above any results provided by Yahoo
Effects on Yahoo and Google
What's all this mean for Yahoo? Obviously, that company is set to eventually lose the chunk of income it receives from providing paid listings to MSN. Yet despite some analyst quotes I've seen, Yahoo won't somehow lose advertisers. Neither will Google.
Advertisers won't flock to MSN and forsake the other two. They'll stick with Google and Yahoo Both have non-duplicated page views.
Instead, MSN will exist as a third program most everyone will feel it's essential to enroll in. That was certainly the case when I asked a room of about 400 people at Search Engine Strategies New York earlier this month. Virtually everyone said they'd sign up. And virtually everyone said they'd stay with Google and Yahoo, too.
One analyst has asked if MSN might be sued by Yahoo over paid listings. Yahoo has patents involving paid listings and won a settlement with Google over them last year. I asked MSN, which had no comment on the issue.

As children are preparing to go back to school, parents and their kids are getting ready mentally and physically.
Teens want to look good for their peers, and parents want their children to be best dressed with a beautiful smile.
The smile is a very important aspect of any child's life. It is a first impression that can tell peers, teachers, and parents if a child is happy and healthy.
According to a national study conducted by Invisalign and Kelton Research in 2011, one-third of 1,047 Americans stated that the teeth are the facial feature remembered most after meeting someone for the first time. This study showed appearance of the smile impacted how people are perceived to be happy, friendly, healthy, popularity, trustworthy and show high self-esteem. Although the study was focused on the impact of straight teeth in social society, it revealed how the smile is an important personal tool that should be maintained and kept healthy.
The Surgeon General's Oral Health Report of 2000 states that good oral health is essential in a person's ability to speak, smile, smell, taste, touch, chew, swallow, and make facial expressions to show feelings and emotions. Unfortunately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CSC) report that U.S. tooth decay affects 18 percent of children ages 2-4, 52 percent of children ages 6-8 and 61 percent of teenagers age 15 or older. The CDC reports that dental decay is the most common chronic disease in children ages 5-17.
Every year the American Dental Association (ADA) creates a slogan to encourage children to maintain good oral health and prevent oral disease.
This year's slogan is "Get a Gold Medal Smile" and is geared towards creating a positive attitude towards brushing and flossing twice a day, eating the right foods and limiting snacks, wearing sports mouth guards, and visiting the dentist regularly.
The annual campaign has always stressed early dental education and prevention to ensure proper oral care habits and teeth for life. For teens, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Healthy People organization stresses informing teens about the risks of tobacco and alcohol use. The ADA also recommends teens to avoid oral piercing to prevent chipped teeth and oral infections.
As children are returning to school, parents and children are reminded that the importance of oral health not only reflects the overall physical wellbeing, but the mental health as well. Parents are encouraged to review these factors with their children and teens to promote health habits for life.

I have a sump pump that releases directly into my front yard. There is a slight slope going down. The pump usually releases every 10 to 15 minutes. I have begun digging a hole which at the moment is about a foot deep and 5ft by 3ft wide and nearly filled with water. I am interested in making a natural stone rain garden. Not finding much information concerning both in combination. I have clay soil so right now the water is not draining as fast as it should not sure how to handle this. The reason for this project is there was grass there originally that was always swamp like and not very pleasant to look at. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks jjbjr |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you do not get the water far enough away from the sump pit it WILL end up back there. |
- Posted by dan_martyn (My Page) on Mon, Jun 13, 11 at 13:31
jjbjr, You can get catch basins, underground piping and a pop-up at your local plumbing supply or big box. You can recess the catch basin in the ground (grate on top) just under the sump termination. extend the underground piping 30 to 50 feet away from the house and terminate piping with a pop-up. The water will be pumped into the catch basin and when the piping fills, the pop-up opens up releasing the water into the yard. This eliminates the water from getting back into the sump. Hope that helps, Dan |

Bro could you check HQ for me please, need some advice. You may have to read a segment of Raw to provide the feedback though.
Do you think you'll be able to get your first part of the promo to me, bruv? Ain't rushing you by the way.
Won't lie, though, an unforeseeable and unfortunate series of events led to a very unproductive period for me I've been unable to do any eWork over the last five or so days, and only started It a few hours ago.. My eyes are sore, and I'm fading fast. I'm trying, though, bruv.
Working on it now. Give me some hours. It shall be done today, I hope
Happy belated birthday mate

"Today, the business case has to be a significant driver in any IT investment. It used to be 'IT for the sake of IT,' but it's not the CIO's job to come up with brilliant IT ideas; it's to figure out where and how the IT model can facilitate business strategies. "
Barry Libenson, Vice President and CIO, Ingersoll-Rand
