Would You Rather Be a TV Writer or Movie Exec?
by Smart Living
Like us on Facebook
Tina Fey's portrayal of TV writer Liz Lemon on 30 Rock cracks me up every week. I don't know how she does it, but somehow she makes juggling actors, producers, and wacky writers look like fun. I think it's fair to say I was equally charmed watching Brooke Shields play mommy and glamorous multitasking movie exec Wendy on Lipstick Jungle. It's hard to pass judgment on a career you haven't had, but forget education, relevant experience, and interview contacts for a second. Which career do you think is cooler?

I agree with sweetstanzy. I love the idea of writing for tv but trying to make every week funny would definitely be difficult.
5 years
I am a writer, and I would love to be a comedy TV writer a la Liz Lemon. But I think trying to be that funny and creative for a living would be a lot of work.
5 years
i would rather be a movie exec. i feel like TV shows are so fleeting these days, and that movies are at times more enjoyable and have better success even if the movie isn't a #1 blockbuster
5 years
Neither, really. TV writer, if I HAD to, but my BF is a film director, and watching him have to suck up to complete idiots to get funding for his projects is a real turnoff for my feelings about the industry. It's all a big game, sadly, and your score is based on how many bigwig egos you can inflate :/

My answer might be skewed because I love the character of Liz Lemon, and I'd rather be Liz than Wendy!

Cynt Chats with Trez Pugh III, President & CEO of Sip & Savor Chicago
in Self Help
I love coffee shops. I like to sit with a cup of tea, my laptop and my thoughts. Back in the day, I found a cool coffee house in the Heart of Bronzeville on 43rd street in Chicago. Yes, 43rd street. When I walked in this joint, the environment just grabbed me. I was hooked before my very first sip. The Bronzeville Coffee House became my home away from home.
The guys that owned the joint were some cool dudes too and they created a place in my opinion, that felt like the old show Cheers; a place where everybody knew your name at some point. Only thing was, they weren't serving up beers, they were serving up a different kinda brew, coffee with a smile.
That enterprise has evolved since it's establishment in December 2005, there are more locations and many business lessons were learned along the way. I'm honored to have the opportunity to pick the brain of the man behind the metamorphosis. Let's see what we can learn from Trez Pugh III's transition to the world of entrepreneurship and his growing Sip & Savor brand.

Declining performance, poor contract causes limitations on possible deals
Before the news of Kobe Bryant's injured knee sent shockwaves throughout the Los Angeles Lakers organization, the team was rumored to be quietly pursuing a Pau Gasol-centric deal aimed at improving the team's short-term performance and giving them a boost into the playoffs. Despite reports that they had backed away from that position, the news of the Bryant injury might cause them to reconsider.
But trading Gasol is not as simple as picking up the phone and weighing the best offers. There are several, very real obstacles that stand in the way of moving the four-time All-Star.

Differential effects of leptin receptor mutation on male and female BBDR Gimap5-/Gimap5- spontaneously diabetic rats.
Departments of Comparative Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA.
Physiological Genomics (Impact Factor: 2.81). 12/2009; 41(1):9-20. DOI: 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00186.2009 Source: PubMed

ABSTRACT: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in both humans and BioBreeding (BB) rats is an autoimmune disease that results in complete destruction of islets and insulin dependency for life. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) promotes beta cell proliferation and neogenesis and has a potent insulinotropic effect. We hypothesized that the expression of GLP-1 before disease onset would increase islet mass, delay diabetes and prolong survival of BB rats. Vascular smooth muscle cells retrovirally transduced to secrete GLP-1 were seeded into TheraCyte encapsulation devices, implanted subcutaneously, and rats were monitored for diabetes. In untreated control rats, plasma GLP-1 levels were 34.5-39.5 pmol/l, whereas, in treated rats, plasma levels were elevated, in the range 90-250.4 pmol/l. Hypoglycemia was not detected and this was anticipated from the glucose-regulated action of GLP-1. Diabetes onset (mean + or - SEM) in untreated rats occurred at 56.5 + or - 0.6 days (n = 6) and, in GLP-1-treated rats, was delayed until 76.4 + or - 3.3 days (n = 5) (p < 0.001). After disease onset, untreated control rats showed a rapid weight loss and elevated blood glucose (>650 mg/dl) and did not survive beyond 11 days. At 5 days after diabetes onset, insulin-secreting islets were absent in untreated rats. By contrast, treated rats maintained weight for up to 143 days of age and showed insulin-secreting beta cells. Sustained GLP-1 expression delivered by encapsulated cells before diabetes onset in BB rats showed an improved clinical outcome, suggesting the potential for treating patients using long lasting GLP-1 analogs.The Journal of Gene Medicine 06/2010; 12(6):538-44. · 1.95 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are two prevalent chronic diseases that have become a major public health concern in industrialized countries. T2D is characterized by hyperglycemia and islet beta cell dysfunction. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) promotes β cell proliferation and neogenesis and has a potent insulinotropic effect. Leptin receptor deficient male rats are obese and diabetic and provide a model of T2D. We hypothesized that their treatment by sustained expression of GLP-1 using encapsulated cells may prevent or delay diabetes onset. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) retrovirally transduced to secrete GLP-1 were seeded into TheraCyte(TM) encapsulation devices, implanted subcutaneously and rats were monitored for diabetes. Rats that received cell implants showed mean plasma GLP-1 level of 119.3 ± 10.2pM that was significantly elevated over control values of 32.4 ± 2.9pM (P<0.001). GLP-1 treated rats had mean insulin levels of 45.9 ± 2.3ng/ml that were significantly increased over control levels of 7.3±1.5ng/ml (P<0.001). In rats treated before diabetes onset elevations in blood glucose were delayed and rats treated after onset became normoglycemic and showed improved glucose tolerance tests. Untreated diabetic rats possess abnormal islet structures characterized by enlarged islets with α-cell infiltration and multifocal vacuolization. GLP-1 treatment induced normalization of islet structures including a mantle of α-cells and increased islet mass. These data suggest that encapsulated transduced cells may offer a potential long term treatment of patients.Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering 04/2011; 111(4):383-7. · 1.74 Impact Factor -

A splendid book... Rossiter's tone in recounting [the struggle of women scientists] is never strident. A clear enough case emerges from the sources that she skillfully weaves into a tapestry of social trends and individual experience.
(Alice Kimball Smith New York Times Book Review)Necessary reading for all who seek to understand the sexual politics of science today. It illuminates how gender has influenced the development of science in this country and how and why our cultural values have followed us into the laboratory.
(Judith Walzer Leavitt Science)Margaret Rossiter has given us a gripping, beautifully documented account of the struggles of early women scientists in America. It is a moving tribute to the efforts that paved the way for women scientists today.
(Women's Review of Books)A seminal work of rich scholarly detail... It is a splendid and totally satisfying feast, whetting the appetite for the next volume.
(Nature)Margaret Rossiter is certainly not the first to notice sexism in science, but she has made a convincing case for its blatancy. Faced with her evidence, no one can doubt that sexism was an accepted federal policy and a powerful force in the scientific community.
(Technology and Culture)A record of hopes squelched, strategies thwarted, and uncomfortable compromises uneasily made... No one who values simple justice can read these pages without becoming furious.
(Ruth Schwartz Cowan Journal of American History)[A] fine and meticulously researched book... [which] should be obligatory reading for those interested in the relationship of women and professionalization in the 20th century.
(Regina Markell Morantz JAMA)Margaret W. Rossiter is the Marie Underhill Noll Professor of the History of Science at Cornell University and editor of Isis and Osiris. Her book Women Scientists in America: Before Affirmative Action, 1940-1972 is also available from Johns Hopkins.

what is the material and structure of this glass floor? I assume it is safe but how will
obscure glass to minimize being able to see scratches while still allowing light to move from one level to another - I'll provide some obscure glass examples
The structure is custom, but the glass floor itself is relatively common. The glass has a " frit " on it to make it non slip. more scratch
What if the stairs went like this along the wall where the sliding doors stack at the end of the kitchen

Middle EastHezbollah calls for week of Lebanon protests Hassan Nasrallah says US-made anti-Islam video is "the worst attack ever on Islam" and says Muslims will not be silent. 17 Sep 2012 03:27 GMT | Middle East, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria Nasrallah, head of the Lebanese Shia movement, called for massive protests against an anti-Islam video [EPA]Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has called for a week of protests against a video mocking Prophet Muhammad that has triggered uproar in the Muslim world and which he called "the worst attack ever on Islam". "The whole world needs to see your anger on your faces, in your fists and your shouts," Nasrallah said in a televised speech on Sunday. Live Box 201291411393377356 The head of the powerful Lebanese Shia Muslim organisation spoke just hours after Pope Benedict XVI left the country following a historic three-day visit in which he prayed that Middle East leaders would work towards peace and reconciliation. Nasrallah noted that he purposely postponed his call for protests until after the pope's departure. "The whole world should know that the prophet has followers who will not be silent in the face of humiliation," Nasrallah said. The low-budget film, titled "Innocence of Muslims", has sparked fury among Muslims from London to Nairobi for mocking Prophet Muhammad and for portraying Muslims as immoral and gratuitously violent. Week of protests Nasrallah told followers to stagger their protests around the country. He called for protests in southern Beirut on Monday, in the southern city of Tyre on Wednesday, in the eastern city of Baalbek on Friday, in Bint Jbeil in south Lebanon on Saturday, and in Hermel in the eastern Bekaa valley region on Sunday. All are majority Shia areas. He also called for people across the Islamic world to demonstrate against the film, which he described as "the worst attack ever on Islam, worse than the Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, the burning of the Quran in Afghanistan and the cartoons in the European media". "There should be resolutions adopted in top international institutions, that are binding on all states and governments in the world, to forbid the defamation of religions," said Nasrallah, adding attacks on Muslims were "frequent". Live Box 2012914134954851766 "Those who write or draw or make such a film would know that they would be punished wherever they are, and they would not feel protected," the Hezbollah chief said. He also blamed the United States for the film. "The film was made and spread from the US," Nasrallah said. "Muslims should say to the US: 'This happened in your state'." The US government on Thursday imposed new sanctions on Nasrallah and two other figures in the Shia group over their support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The treasury department sanctions add to measures already levied on Hezbollah, which was first designated by Washington as a terrorist group in 2001. In his speech, Nasrallah said Lebanon should call for an emergency meeting of the Arab League to discuss the anti-Islam film. And shortly after his address ended, Lebanon's foreign ministry said in a statement that Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour had requested such a meeting of the 22-member bloc.Source: Agencies

Thu, Feb. 19, 2:00 PM
- Two months after Citi valued Instagram at $35B, Cowen's John Blackledge has assigned a $33B valuation to the photo/video-sharing platform.
- Blackledge: "Instagram is a valuable asset for FB given its large, fast-growing and highly engaged user base that's drawing significant advertiser interest per our recent social user and ad buyer surveys." He sees Instagram's MAU count (recently topped 300M) rising to 680M by 2020, and notes 72% of its users are aged 18-44.
- With Blackledge valuing Facebook Messenger at $10.5B and taking WhatsApp's $22B acquisition price at face value, he sees 23%-36% upside for Facebook's valuation on a sum-of-the-parts basis. For now, his target remains at $91.
- The note comes in a week that has seen Bloomberg report Snapchat could be valued at $19B in a new funding round, and the WSJ report Pinterest is seeking an $11B valuation in a new round.
- Separately, during a recent conference talk, Facebook product chief Chris Cox stated his company is working on virtual reality apps (presumably for Oculus' platform) and that Facebook is talking with publishers about getting them to fully publish (rather than just excerpt/link to) their content on Facebook, in exchange for a revenue cut.
- Shares are closing in on $80, a level they haven't seen since December.
Dec. 22, 2014, 10:47 AM
- Facebook (FB +2.4%) has surpassed its Oct. 28 all-time high of $81.16, made shortly before the company sold off in response to the conservative Q4 guidance and aggressive 2015 spending forecast provided with its Q3 beat.
- Shares are up 49% YTD vs. a 14% gain for the Nasdaq. They now go for 43x 2015E EPS and 13x 2015E sales.
- Last Friday: Citi values Instagram at $35B
Dec. 16, 2014, 3:59 PM
- Internet stocks have posted substantial losses after a morning market rally proved short-lived. The Nasdaq is down 1.2%.
- In addition to Google, which has made new 52-week lows, Facebook (FB -3%), Twitter (TWTR -4.7%), Amazon (AMZN -3.5%), and Netflix (NFLX -3.2%) are among the underperforming names. Other decliners: Z -5.5%. TRLA -5.4%. MELI -5.4%. ZNGA -4.9%. ZU -3.2%. ANGI -3.4%.
- The selloff comes even though Goldman upgraded its rating for the sector to Attractive from Neutral today. The firm noted Internet stocks are collectively down 16% over the last 12 months (maybe 18%-19% after today), and that forward EV/EBITDA multiples have contracted significantly.
- Internet/social media ETFs: FDN, PNQI, SOCL
Nov. 26, 2014, 12:58 PM
- Facebook (FB +2.1%) and Twitter (TWTR +2.6%) are rallying on a sleepy pre-Thanksgiving trading day. The companies have respectively seen 21.9M and 16.1M shares traded thus far vs. 3-month averages of 38.3M and 28.1M.
- Several other Internet stocks (both U.S. and Chinese) are also moving higher. Z +2.3%. TRLA +3%. BITA +5.1%. EJ +6.7%. SFUN +2.6%. VIPS +3.3%. SOHU +2.9%.
- Facebook is at its highest levels since selling off in late October due to its Q4 revenue and 2015 spending guidance.
Nov. 17, 2014, 11:09 AM
- LinkedIn (LNKD -4%) is seeing profit-taking after the FT reported Facebook (FB -0.7%) is planning to launch a business-focused version of its core service that will support separate work accounts and feature collaboration tools. Enterprise social networking software vendor Jive (JIVE -5.9%) is also selling of.
- Salesforce (CRM -1.5%), whose Chatter business social networking platform has seen strong growth, is off moderately. The Nasdaq is down 0.4%.
- Facebook's service will be able to lean on the company's 1.35B-strong active user base, as well as its very high Web and mobile app engagement rates (much higher than LinkedIn's).
- At the same time, the offering will have to contend with corporate wariness towards Facebook (due to Facebook's historical consumer focus and reputation as a productivity-killer), as well as LinkedIn's established base of professional accounts (332M at the end of Q3) and the popularity of business social networking tools from the likes of Jive, Salesforce, Microsoft, and IBM.

- Buy the dip, says Needham's Laura Martin, noting the company's focus on the long-term on the earnings call is giving investors the jitters about the short-term. The upped expenses guidance for FY2015, she says, suggests Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) will be reinvesting profits in longer-term opportunities.
- "Facebook's execution continues to be strong and we believe very few companies in the world have the reach, the audience engagement and the monetization opportunity that Facebook has in front of it today," says Sterne Agee's Arvind Bhatia, reiterating a Buy rating and $85 price target.
- Similar sentiments are voiced by Goldman, Cowen, Susquehanna, Evercore, and SunTrust.

- Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) guides on its Q3 CC for Q4 revenue to be up 40%-47% Y/Y; that's in-line with a consensus of 44.7% growth, and slightly below at the midpoint.
- The company now expects 2014 GAAP costs/expenses to rise 45%-50% (boosted by WhatsApp stock compensation expenses), up from a prior outlook of 30%-35%. It also forecasts non-GAAP spending will rise 50%-70% Y/Y in 2015 - CFO Dave Wehner calls 2015 a "significant expense" year.

- Internet stocks are selling off in AH trading as Netflix craters in response to its light Q3 subscriber adds and disappointing Q4 guidance, and eBay slumps after providing weak Q4 guidance and reporting only 6% Y/Y Q3 Marketplaces growth.
- Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) -1.6% AH. Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) -1.5%. Amazon (AMZN - taking share from eBay) -2.8%. Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) -1.9%. LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) -4.2%. YELP -1.4%.
- Internet ETFs: FDN, PNQI, SOCL
Jul. 29, 2014, 4:37 PM
- Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) +0.9% AH, LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) +2.1% AH, YELP +2.7%, and Twitter shareholder GSV Capital (NASDAQ:GSVC) +4.8% after Twitter skyrockets AH thanks to a big Q2 beat (moreso on revenue than EPS), strong Q3 guidance, and better-than-expected MAU growth.
- Yelp is due tomorrow, LinkedIn on Thursday, and GSV on Aug. 7. Facebook posted strong Q2 numbers of its own last week.
Jul. 24, 2014, 10:37 AM
- "We think 2Q represents further validation that Facebook (FB +5.5%) can continue to drive mobile ad revenue growth through better ad targeting, relevancy and quality, and through continued growth in advertiser demand in its ad auction," writes JPMorgan, bullish as ever following Facebook's Q2 beat.
- Needham estimates Facebook now "accounts for $1 of every $5 ad dollars spent on mobile devices." SunTrust observes the Q2 growth came in spite of little or no revenue from a slew of long-term initiatives, including video ads, Instagram, Buy button ads, WhatsApp/Oculus, and the mobile ad network.
- Jefferies makes a similar point. It adds Facebook's "ever-deepening ties" to e-commerce leave it well-positioned to "capitalize on strong holiday shopping trends." Others are encouraged by Mark Zuckerberg's CC remarks (transcript) about future payments integration for Messenger, and his claim that the average U.S. user spends 40 minutes/day on Facebook.
- Shares are making new highs, and now trade at a steep 12x 2015E sales. Revenue estimates should rise some in response to the Q2 numbers.
- Prior Facebook earnings coverage
Jul. 24, 2014, 9:18 AM
Jul. 23, 2014, 6:30 PM
- Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) will make efforts to accept more payments on its platform, says Mark Zuckerberg on the Q2 CC following a question about Facebook's Buy button and related payments tools (still in testing). However, he adds advertising (92% of Q2 revenue) will remain the company's main business.
- Zuck also reiterates (in spite of Facebook's efforts to grow public sharing) creating private spaces for users remains a core objective. He states Messenger (now run by ex-PayPal chief David Marcus) will play a pivotal role in furthering this goal. WhatsApp presumably will also play a role.
- New CFO David Wehner states Facebook's ad prices effectively more than doubled Y/Y due to a shift towards more costly news feed/mobile ads (improved targeting also didn't hurt). This enabled ad sales to rise 67% in spite of a 25% drop in ad impressions.
- Sheryl Sandberg notes the acquisition of video ad tech platform LiveRail will further Facebook's ad network ambitions; the company just recently launched its mobile ad network. She also declares marketers are getting more creative with Facebook campaigns, comparing them to TV campaigns in the process.
- Facebook now has 399M mobile-only MAUs (30% of all MAUs). North America made up 44% of Q2 revenue, down from 47% in Q1. North American ARPU ($6.44) still dwarfs Facebook's global ARPU ($2.24).
- Live blogs: I, II, III.
- Prior Facebook earnings coverage
Jul. 23, 2014, 4:19 PM
- Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) ad revenue rose 67% Y/Y in Q2 to $2.68B; Q1 growth was 82%. Mobile ad sales made up 62% of ad revenue, up from 59% in Q1 and 41% a year ago. Payments/other fees revenue rose 9% Y/Y to $234M.
- Monthly active users (MAUs) +3% Q/Q and +14% Y/Y to 1.32B. Daily active users +3% Q/Q and +19% Y/Y to 829M. Mobile MAUs +6% Q/Q and +31% Y/Y to 1.07B (81% of total MAUs).
- GAAP costs/expenses +22% Y/Y to $1.52B, a slowdown from Q1's 26% and Q4's 37%. R&D spend +43% to $492M, sales/marketing +33% to $358M.
- Free cash flow was $872M, below net income of $1.09B. $469M was spent on capex.
- FB +0.1% AH. Q2 results, PR, slides (.pdf).
May. 1, 2014, 12:26 PM
- Yelp's Q1 report, which was accompanied by a full-year guidance hike and followed by a slew of upgrades, is helping fuel a major rally in high-beta Internet stocks that were pummeled over much of March and April.
- LinkedIn (LNKD +5.5%), which reports after the close and entered trading down 40% from a high of $257.56, is among the notable gainers. As are Twitter (TWTR +3.5%), crushed yesterday in response to its Q1 numbers and guidance, and Pandora (P +6.5%), hit hard last Friday due to the light Q2 guidance provided with a Q1 beat.
- Facebook (FB +3.5%), less damaged by the selloff than some peers, is posting solid gains as the Street gives a thumbs-up to yesterday's mobile ad network launch. "Facebook is essentially bringing the high advertising ROI and targeting precision it has perfected on its own app to the rest of the mobile web," proclaims Goldman, albeit while cautioning near-term sales will be limited.
- Netlifx (NFLX +5.5%), off 30% from its high going into trading in spite of a positive response to last week's Q1 beat and price hike announcement, is bouncing strongly.
- Other gainers: ZU +5.9%. TRLA +5.6% (rallied yesterday following earnings). PCLN +2.8%. EXPE +3.7%. MEET +4.3%. LIVE +9.9%. ANGI +3%.
Apr. 25, 2014, 1:31 PM
- Today's selloff is following the pattern of most in the past few weeks, with the small caps (IWM -1.9%) and tech (QQQ -1.5%) leading the way. Pacing declines in the Nasdaq are a 8.8% dive in Amazon post-earnings and a 4.6% fall in Facebook. Setting tongues wagging in FB - but hardly a huge deal - is the sale of another 283K shares by Sheryl Sandberg, bringing her holdings down to 8.7M shares.
- The liquidation in biotech has previously been a convenient excuse for small cap selloffs, but the IBB is off just 1.4% today, outperforming the Russell 2000.
- What's working? Utilities again. The XLU +0.8% today and +13% this year, outperforming the Russell 2000 by about 1.6K basis points.

Read More The best songs on Trouble, the debut release from songwriter Ray LaMontagne, draw on deep wells of emotion, and with LaMontagne's sandpapery voice, which recalls a gruffer, more sedate version of Tim Buckley or an American version of Van Morrison, they seem to belie his years. The title tune, "Trouble," is an instant classic, sparse and maudlin (in the best sense), and songs like "Narrow Escape," a ragged, episodic waltz, are equally impressive, with careful, cinematic lyrics that tell believable stories of wounded-hearted refugees on the hard road of life and love. Most of the tracks fall into a midtempo shuffle rhythm, so the words have to carry a lot in order to avert a sort of dull sameness, and when it works, it works big, and when it doesn't, well, LaMontagne is so serious and sincere about his craft that you tend to forgive him instantly. Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek guests on "Hannah" and the sad, somber lullaby "All the Wild Horses," playing fiddle and adding vocals, and producer Ethan Johns adds drums and other touches on most tracks. The sound is measured and sparse, with few frills (a five-piece string section is used on a few tracks, but is never intrusive), all of which supports the emotional urgency of LaMontagne's writing. "How Come" sounds a bit like a rewrite of Dave Mason's "Feelin' Alright," and a couple of other cuts seem a bit labored, but overall this is an impressive debut by an extremely special songwriter. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi Read Less

Is Valentine's Day a Lose-Lose Holiday?
To add a comment you need to be a registered user or Christianity Today subscriber.
Valentine's Day is lame. The holiday designed to celebrate love somehow makes most of us feel dissatisfied with our relationships or defensive about our relationship status — whether you're single, married, or dating.
One of us is single. One of us is in a relationship. On Valentine's Day, we both face arbitrary choices about our plans, choosing from a menu of clichéd, commercialized options that say nothing about our relative happiness or the health of our relationships … or even our interest in Valentine's Day itself.
So, this year, we are asking ourselves: Is there a way to redeem Feb. 14?
Ruth Moon
You may think that the terror of Valentine's Day flees when you are in a relationship, but no. The pressure's on for the right amount, the right kind of celebration. If you do like chocolate and roses, you're one of those people who buys into impossibly cheesy, disconnected-from-reality fairytale romance. If you stay home with pizza and beer, you're one of those people, trying to be ironic and hip, without a box of candy or card in sight. For the record, I'm the latter.
My significant other feels the tension too. He says:
We really are in a bind. Yes, it's a schmaltzy holiday, originally associated with St. Valentine, as the legend goes, now thoroughly co-opted by capitalism. Yes, it's better to just have a nice talk about how awfully exploited we all are, by the hype, and how we should just go about our relational business.
But pragmatically, we can't just ignore the day entirely. Even the most jaded and snarky woman will want something special on the day of. Just "nothing too cheesy," or "nothing too romantic," she'll say.
That's basically a paradox that would have made British journalist G.K. Chesterton proud. But Chesterton, a joyfully married Christian man, also had a realistic view of his own kind: "Women are the only realists; their whole object in life is to pit their realism against the extravagant, excessive, and occasionally drunken idealism of men."
Our idealism is born out of a healthy desire to honor the relationship we're in, including where it's been and where it can go yet, by God's grace. It expresses itself in terribly awkward ways, like boxes of waxy chocolates, botched dinner reservations or overly bounteous bouquets of red roses. But I suspect that what they (the women) really want is an attempt, however lame, to honor them and show them affection.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History of Japan |
Tenchō (天長?) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,?, lit. "year name") after Kōnin and before Jōwa. This period spanned the years from January 824 through January 834.[1] The reigning emperors were Junna-tennō (淳和天皇?) and Ninmyō-tennō (仁明天皇?).[2]
Change of era[edit]
- February 6, 824 Tenchō gannen (天長元年?): The new era name was created to mark an event or series of events. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in Kōnin 15, on the 5th day of the 1st month of 824.[3]
Events of the Tenchō era[edit]
- 824 (Tenchō 1): This summer was entirely dry; and prayers for rain were offered by the Buddhist priest Kūkai, who is also known by the posthumous name, Kōbō-Daishi. Those prayers seemed to be answered when it did begin to rain sometime later.[4]
- 824 (Tenchō 1, 7th month): The former-Emperor Heizei died at age 51.[4]
- 825 (Tenchō 2, 11th month): The former-Emperor Saga celebrated his 40th birthday.[5]
- 826 (Tenchō 3, 11th month): Kōbō-Daishi counsels the emperor to build a pagoda near To-ji in Kyoto.[6]

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Richard Branson's Abu Dhabi-backed Virgin Galactic has seen "fantastic" interest from customers looking to book seats on its spacecraft and is looking to increase its revenue to around US$500m per annum within the next few years, the company's CEO told Arabian Business in an interview.
"A few weeks ago we announced our 500 customer deposit, at $200,000 a ticket it signifies a milestone of over $100 million in future revenue. That business is just one piece of the overall commercial space travel market, [which is] worth billions of dollars overall," said Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides.
Virgin Galactic, which Abu Dhabi state-backed investment firm Aabar Investments acquired a 32 percent stake in three years ago, is nearing completion of its first Spaceport in the US and last month announced plans to build Spaceport Abu Dhabi.
"We think the target market that we will be looking at soon will be the order of magnitude of about $500 million a year," he estimated.
Whitesides said a third of its customers were based in the US, but spanned nearly 50 countries. Despite the global downturn, he said interest in space travel was still strong.
"We have found, for whatever reason, people have still been putting deposits down at roughly the same rate, is slowed down a bit in 2008 and last year it was fantastic," he said.
Whitesides said once Spaceport American was operational in 2013, he believed the company could reduce the flight time between the US and the UAE to around an hour.
"It still won't be cheap," he admitted. "It will be used [initially for] high value package delivery, like if someone needs the transplant of a kidney or something like that. Like everything else, it will grow from there and eventually we will have people on it and it will be the earlier adopter, the wealthier people, who will be first.
"The real cost of transatlantic flight, if you do the current year analysis is around $80,000 when they were first starting out and it is almost the same order of magnitude as our current product."
To show the company's commitment to Spaceport Abu Dhabi, Whitesides announced last month Steve Landeene, a senior executive responsible for setting up Spaceport America in New Mexico, has been appointed to establish the company's second base in the UAE.
"Under the 2009 deal the two companies agreed that Abu Dhabi would gain exclusive regional rights, subject to receipt of regulatory clearances, to host Virgin Galactic tourism and scientific research space flights," he said.
"In his new role, Landeene will be responsible for developing the roadmap for the construction of a spaceport in Abu Dhabi, starting from financial, strategic and organisational business planning and, if the requisite regulatory approvals are approved, moving through to spaceport construction management," he continued.
Whitesides added that a location for Spaceport Abu Dhabi had not yet been selected and potential sites would be evaluated once the regulatory requirements had been finalised.
From 2007 to 2010, Landeene worked as executive director of the Spaceport America project. The world's first commercial spaceport, the US$209m facility in southwestern US is now in the final stages of construction of the first of three phases, which will be completed later this year.
"The appointment comes at an exciting time. Virgin Galactic has a beautiful home at Spaceport America in New Mexico. We look forward to the day when Virgin Galactic spaceships will be flying above this vibrant and forward looking city," Whitesides said.
"Perhaps one day to see a future generation of our spaceships to fly from here to Abu Dhabi to New Mexico in no more than an hour… The first city pair in which the globe is once again brought closer together for the benefit of us all," he added.

Since November when I first started posting on this board Irish has not been willing to make any real calls in advance and back in November he was calling for the end of the compant. The closest thing to a call in advance I have seen out of him is when he aske me how my buy in the low .90s was working for me. It worked fine thank you. I think it upset him more when I said sell and even go short looking for an under 1.50 entry point. Going short after a 130% run up somehow meant I was stealing his magical short idea that had worked so well. Of course I have also said that either close to or under 1.50 depending on where the stock goes after the first quarter numbers I plan on getting back into the stock. Do I think that the stock will move the way I am predicting, yes.Do I know that it will absolutely not. Only a complete fool claims perfect trading while saying that they have never been wrong (who could that be).
Zippy the pin head does not pay very good attention. Doesn't have a very good recollection of the facts. He was taking .10 rips here and there on a 1.30 run up, pretty much being on the wrong side of the trade. The funniest part about him claiming that I was stealing his call for a short over 2.20 is that he was posting over and over to short at 2.20 and close it out at 2.00 for easy money, I on the other hand am looking for 1.50. That means he should be out of the trade, while I am hoping for the stock to continue to drop. The same store sales for the month might actually send the stock up, but I am pretty sure that the quarterly numbers will cause the stock to drop, once again due to the exaggerated bottom line number from the change in the value of the options. Of course after the drop, when the stock settles it should be a good time to re-enter the stock provided the sss growth is holding up because the company might show an actual profit in the second quarter if that happens, add the value of the options swing again and there could be another pop.
Dogma is back to suck the come off my #$%$, he couldn't resist, WE ARE SO HAPPY SHE IS BACK TRYING TO SWAP SPIT LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a friend who makes yogurt using a pot on her wood stove in the winter. I'm not sure the exact way she does it but she does somethign different in the summer, I'm not sure if you are gadget girl but you could probably google it and not have to buy the machine. But if the machine would help you make something healthy for LO I'm all for it!
i use the hug feature as one would a like button....duh bbc
I would love to be able to do it without buying one more kitchen appliance! Honestly, I had never even considered how yogurt was made, so I'll have to google it and see if it's easy....if not I might cave for the gadget!
Try this, I think I'm going to make it too now, i love yogurt!
i use the hug feature as one would a like button....duh bbc

Rolls-Royce announced that Marion C. Blakey has been appointed to become President and Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce North America and chair of the Rolls-Royce North America Board of Directors, replacing James M. Guyette who will be retiring in May. Ms. Blakey will leave her position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) where she has served nearly eight years.
Rolls-Royce announced that James Guyette, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce North America, has decided to retire after 17 years with the company. He is currently an Executive Director on the Board of Rolls-Royce plc and Chairman of Rolls-Royce North America Holdings Inc. He will step down from the Rolls-Royce plc Board at the Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2015, and from his role at Rolls-Royce North America on 31 May 2015.
Rolls-Royce North America Inc. is closing the foundry at its Pascagoula, Miss., ship propeller manufacturing plant and expects to lose 24 skilled workers of the 47 employees there. The downsizing in the casting or foundry side will take place over the next 18 months, with plans to reduce as many of the jobs as possible by attrition. There is simply not the quantity of Naval contracts coming through the facility any more. The business is down. The upside is that they still have the machine aspect of the business, the Machining Center of Excellence. They won't pour the castings for propellers there anymore, but they will bring them in and machine them there.
