From the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends
from Eminem (Ft. Liz Rodrigues) – Survival Lyrics on Genius
Eminem didn't plan to be as big as he is now. It was about making a name for himself at that time and providing for his family.
He is saying that it was never about making money and as he follows up in the next line, it was rapping for the sake of rapping. It was about busting raps and standing for something
He uses the contrast of beginning/end in a dual way that brings out the slang "ends" as in money and the literary "ends" as in terms. Same technique used in the previous bar.

Below expectationsLaunched with great hopes and fanfare eight years ago, the South Dakota Certified Beef program has so far fallen short of its goal of helping farmers and ranchers sell state-branded beef as a premium product commanding higher prices.
By: Chet Brokaw, Associated Press
PIERRE, S.D. — Launched with great hopes and fanfare eight years ago, the South Dakota Certified Beef program has so far fallen short of its goal of helping farmers and ranchers sell state-branded beef as a premium product commanding higher prices.
When then-Gov. Mike Rounds persuaded the 2005 Legislature to create the program, he envisioned a time when people across the nation and around the world would choose to pay more for steaks that carry a South Dakota seal of approval. He said codes on package labels could let buyers visit an Internet site to track the meat's origin, following it from a calf's birth to a feedlot and then a processor.
But that hasn't happened, largely because South Dakota hasn't had a meatpacking plant operating at a large scale that would make processing economical, officials say.
In the first eight years of the program, only 16,386 cattle — a tiny slice of a state herd that approaches 4 million head — have been enrolled by farmers and ranchers. Only 500 have made it all the way through the program to be sold as meat from the program, mostly just within South Dakota from cattle processed by small custom meat lockers.
Rounds, now running for the U.S. Senate, still thinks the program will succeed once the Northern Beef Packers plant in Aberdeen is running at full speed and more buyers demand verification of when and where cattle are born.
"I think its time will come," Rounds said earlier this month.
Todd Mortenson, a Hayes, S.D., rancher who is still registered with the program, recalls sky-high expectations when the program was launched. "I keep hoping that something will come of it, that they'll get it revived," Mortenson says.
Mortenson and others, including state Agriculture Secretary Lucas Lentsch, say that will require developing a large-scale packing plant in South Dakota that can process cattle economically. Mortenson said selling a few cattle at a time through the program isn't worth the effort because he needs to sell a truckload of 50 cattle at a time to make the Certified Beef program work financially.
Northern Beef Packers, first proposed six years ago, is now operating in Aberdeen but well short of capacity. The plant laid off 108 of its approximately 420 workers in April, citing lack of money to buy and process high volumes of cattle. It now has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and laid off another 260 workers July 24. Workers say the plant hasn't slaughtered cattle in weeks; its goal is up to 1,500 daily.
A.J. Monger, director of new business development at the plant, says Northern Beef Packers wants to work with the South Dakota Certified Beef program. He says plant managers hope to reach capacity soon. He declined to talk about efforts to get additional financing to buy more cattle.
Sarah Caslin, with the state Agriculture Department's Livestock Marketing and Development Program, says about 60 farmers and ranchers are registered with the program, with about 6,000 head of cattle currently enrolled. The program requires that cattle be born, fed and processed in South Dakota, and most cattle now are shipped to packers in Omaha or Sioux City, Iowa, she says.
The Agriculture Department spends about $52,000 a year to run the program, with much of the cost attributed to a federal audit of the program and the state's checking of farmers and ranchers to make sure they follow the rules, Caslin says. Part of that cost is recovered from the $100 annual fee paid by producers and the 50-cents-a-head fee to enroll each calf, she says.
To qualify as South Dakota Certified Beef, the cattle have to be born in the state, carry electronic ear tags and be tracked every time they are sold. Before being slaughtered, cattle have to be fed a high-starch diet or corn or other grain for at least 100 days.
Caslin says other certification programs have taken a long time to develop. "We're still in our baby steps. The producers still feel this is a good program, and we're just going to grow," she says.
And even though little meat has actually been marketed in the program, its tracking components help some farmers and ranchers sell to buyers who demand to know when and where cattle were born, Caslin says.
At an event in to kick off the program in 2005, Minerva's restaurant in Sioux Falls served steaks processed and approved through the program. But the restaurant stopped selling the Certified Beef a few years later because Marshall Johns Beef in Hudson couldn't supply enough meat, says Don Anderson, vice president of Minerva's owner WR Restaurants.
Steve Willard of Marshall Johns says the operation still sells 50 to 60 head to private customers. The steaks are easy to sell, but ground beef is more difficult to sell at a premium price, even though most people would say it's probably the best tasting ground beef they've ever eaten, he says.
Willard says the beef industry is likely headed to a time when more buyers will demand verification of the age and source of cattle, something the Certified Beef program can provide.
"It's a case of where I think it was an idea that was a little ahead of its time," Willard says.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

There's a thread on the K12OSN list regarding a church that's using
K12LTSP thin clients, but the parents/teachers have a vague concern
that the kids "aren't learning Microsoft". Apparently, a donor will soon
be giving them a number of shiny new higher-end computers, all with free
MS software.
The person in charge of the LTSP lab wonders if, due to this, he should
just give up on the Linux lab. Some great posts have been made in the
thread, and this one has been the best so far, IMO:

Happy Easter,
This is the last a couple of weeks before the Spring meetings of the IMF and the all important G20 ministerial meeting on April 19th which is meant to unlock additional resources for the fund. The WP3 held in Paris this week (G10 Heads of Treasury+IMF+OECD+Commission) was an opportunity for the fund to present the broad outline of the forthcoming WEO and for the Commission to sketch the early draft of its spring forecasts. In general the mood is far from upbeat but there is a general recognition that the European firewall itself is not a solution in any case.
Meanwhile the ECB's press conference was quite interesting, on at least two counts:
The first was the very strange position defended by Draghi about inflation differentials suggesting that: "rebalancing should be achieved, ideally, without inflating the good performers (…) I think we can have a 2% – or below 2% – inflationary rate for the whole euro area without the need to inflate the good performers. I think it's a very feasible objective". This statement could be read as a sign of discomfort by the ECB about inflation in Germany in the context of the ongoing wages negotiations, which is odd considering even the Bundesbank seems to accept the logic that internal rebalancing will mean higher inflation in Germany.
The second is the clarification about the rules surrounding the eligibility criteria for guaranteed bank debt in countries under a program. Indeed, the ECB has now allowed NCBs to effectively refuse to accept bank debt guaranteed by countries under a program in effect forcing the NCB of a country under a program to carry those risks on its own balance sheet. This ought to lead to an increasing degree of renationalization of banking balance sheets.
Meanwhile I will focus on the two-pack (thereafter 2pac) which to my great surprise has been largely overlooked while it is by far more important than the fiscal compact for instance:
- It is quite striking to see how the ongoing discussions revolving around the two-pack (a package of two regulations (COM(2011)819 and COM(2011)821)prepared by the European Commission, thereafter written 2pac) and the fundamental changes it would bring to the euro area governance have been overlooked both by the general public and by financial markets.
- The first regulation effectively creates the possibility of enhanced surveillance even outside of the standard Excessive Deficit and excessive imbalances procedures. The commission would have all latitude to bring a member state under enhanced surveillance and essentially force it into a financial assistance program, including on a precautionary basis.
- The second regulation effectively creates a much stronger ex ante surveillance apparatus than the existing one, including the changes set out by the 6 packs. The Commission would effectively receive a draft version of national budget by October 15th and could decide to present its opinion to the eurogroup, to the general public and before the parliament concerned.
- The sum of these two regulations provides a much more intrusive framework both in the standard budgetary process and in the context of financial assistance than has ever been designed. This is probably a positive step on both counts and will force much greater coordination and lead to a shining path towards a budgetary union as some claim.
- But the sum of all current legislative proposals (6 packs, 2pac and TSCG) still fall short of setting up a coordinated framework for discretionary fiscal policy and for the conduct of asymmetric policy across the euro area over and above automatic stabilization.
- All in all, this raises an important question about the scope for fiscal policy outside of automatic stabilization. Cyclically balanced budget rule in member states without a more important federal budget ultimately means surrendering fiscal policy completely.
Happy to have your thoughts as usual,
Best Regards,
Shahin ValleeRepublishing and referencing

Isn't it the old saying that you're not going to meet your future spouse in a bar? Well, I beg to differ. Totally unexpectedly, with no concern but to see a fun band and spend some time with a friend visiting for the weekend, I met the man who would turn out to be my future husband.

Because our son has a bowel movement at 7:42A.M. His digestive system is more regular than that of Big Ben or what I suppose someone like Wilford Brimley's to be.
From 7:15 to 7:41 there is no peaceful cup of Joe or adoration of Ann Curry's wardrobe. Those noises Elliot makes are not ,"Mmmmmmmm," as in, "This is damn fine formula, Mom." They're more like the "Mmmmmmm," of pushing your way onto a crowded subway before the doors pinch you in half. His father misses it all, every single day.

And no grille, so it looks like somebody punched its teeth out," Imke writes when I email her for its make and model. It runs on recycled vegetable oil.

The film electrics union isn't going to like this one. Bryan Singer has revealed that he'll be shooting Jack the Giant Killer in 3D with Epic RED cameras, which will allow him to play with how the film is lit. Because the film's story takes place before the invention of electricity, he'll be able to shoot using primarily natural light. Like the Amish do. Singer says:
"But more importantly Jack the Giant Killer is my first movie set in a time before electricity. The EPIC's extraordinary exposure latitude will allow me to more effectively explore the use of natural light."
That's all the updates we have for right now. As far as casting goes, we're still in the dark. See what I did there? (Bleeding Cool)

POL 3235 Democracy and Citizenship - formal 1
The following writing assignment is designed to have you evaluate the relative merits and purpose of social contract theory and its potential application to contemporary democracy. Please choose one of the two following options.
Option #1:
Imagine that you are Jean Jacques Rousseau and you are writing a letter to John Locke (miraculously raised from the dead). In your letter explain what you have found useful in LockeвАЩs Second Treatise to your own theory of a social contract. Then, explain why he would greatly benefit from being better acquainted with your own treatise, the Social Contract. In particular, justify why your own account of the social contract improves upon LockeвАЩs account.
Option #2
Imagine that you are Alexis de Tocqueville and you are writing an op-ed article in the newspaper. A group of Americans are trying to revive the principles of RousseauвАЩs Social Contract and apply them to American society. This reading group turned social movement has quickly gained supporters. You want to apprise the reading public of both the potential gains and potential drawbacks of this fledgling movement. Having recently produced two large volumes on American democracy (Democracy in America) you cannot resist the opportunity to point out how your analysis provides a more accurate and useful account of the features that support American democracy and those that citizens need to protect against.
In your op-ed article, you will need to explain what changes the Roussean group is likely to propose based on RousseauвАЩs theory of the social contract. This will require explication of RousseauвАЩs most important concepts and evaluation of their potential effects. Given the rising popularity of this group it is important that you be fair to RousseauвАЩs arguments, but still critically assess them. Then you will need to explain how your own account provides a more accurate and useful account of American democracy.
Guidelines for BOTH options 1 and 2:
Your letter OR Op-ed must be 3-4 pages, typed, double-spaced, in 12-point, Times New Roman font, with 1-inch margins all around. Number your pages and staple them in the upper left corner. Please do not put your paper in a binder of any kind. Proofread your letter OR Op-ed for errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Keep a copy of your work for your personal records.
In writing your letter or Op-ed, be sure to address all parts of the question, drawing upon evidence, examples, and arguments from the texts. You must make use of the assigned readings to provide evidence to support your arguments. The more you are able to draw upon the readings, and the better you are to integrate them into clear coherent arguments, the better your grade will be. Cite title and page number of assigned readings when you refer to them. Essays that make little or no use of course material will receive a very poor grade. Remember that you are writing from the perspective of Rousseau OR Tocqueville so you may be making arguments with which you do not completely or even partially agree. You do not need to do any outside research to answer this question.

Liz describes a girl that once you meet, you'll never forget. She's a walking oxymoron. She's sweet, yet spicy, hot, but cold, you get it. She seems to attract men to her, like she pulled their coin out of the fountain of love. She can kick ass in dancing, sports, and any other 'cool' hobby. But don't get on her bad side, cuz she can also kick ass there too..... YOUR ASS! If you're lucky enough to be her friend or best friend or boyfriend, you'll be having laughs and side pains the rest of your life. Definitely a must for all individuals seeking a great life.

Are children under 5 years old who live near nuclear power plants in Germany more likely to develop leukaemia or not?
The country's powerful Green Party thinks so and has seized upon the results of a new study to renew its calls for the closure of all German nuclear facilities.
Claudia Spix and her colleagues at the University of Mainz took another look at cancer statistics from 1980 to 2003, held in the German Childhood Cancer Registry at Mainz. First time around they had found a suggestion in the German cancer statistics of extra cases of childhood leukaemia near nuclear plants, but the effects did not appear to be constant over time.
This time they found that children under 5 years old who live within 5 kilometres of any of Germany's 16 nuclear plants had a 50 per cent increased risk of developing leukaemia. The team suggests this could add ...

In 2003, Pennsylvania started enforcing a new Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Law which created a tiered approach toward DUI enforcement and treatment. This includes many changes to the penalties, terms of suspension, fines and other requirements.
The combination of an individual's Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) level, and prior offenses, determines the licensing requirements and penalties. The new law focuses on treatment for first-time DUI offenders, rather than strictly punishment and suspension. The three levels of DUI in PA are:
- General Impairment (.08 to .099% BAC)
- High BAC (.10 to .159% BAC)
- Highest BAC (.16% and higher)
Under the new DUI law minors, commercial drivers, school vehicle or bus drivers, and offenders involved in an accident that injures someone or causes property damage may be subject to the high BAC penalties even if their BAC is not in the high category.
According to Pennsylvania's driver's manual if you have a DUI and are accepted into the ARD program or convicted for the first time, you could:
- • Lose your license for at least 30 days for ARD and one year minimum if convicted.
- • Be sentenced to jail for 72 hours or more if convicted.
- • Pay a fine of between $300 and $5,000 in addition to related fees and other costs.
- • Undergo alcohol and drug evaluation.
- • If necessary, be ordered to undergo alcohol and drug rehabilitation treatment.
- • Be required to participate in 12 1/2 hours of Alcohol Highway Safety School.
PennDOT will automatically expunge ARD records after 10 years providing a person's operating privileges were not revoked as a habitual offender and/or the person was not a commercial driver at the time of the violation.
From the information we could find it appears that a DUI in Pennsylvania stays on your driving record for 7 years. Since DUI laws have become more stringent in the last few years in Pennsylvania you may want to check the PennDOT to find out for certain how long the DUI remains on a driving record at this current time.

15 Minutes With…Jim Minarik, Chairman & CEO, DEI Holdings : Synergistically Separate
How DEI keeps the Polk Audio and Definitive Technology brands mutually supportive but distinctJanuary 2012 By Nanck Klosek
CustomRetailer: The Polk Audio and Definitive Technology brands have co-existed for several years within the DEI brand family, and have been successful at maintaining their legacy identities. Can you talk a little about their distinct identities?
Jim Minarik: We continue to be very committed to keeping the brands separate with everything that faces the customer. All of the product ideation and the customer-facing sales and marketing activities, whether consumer or trade, are all really separate. Both have their own product styling and signature technologies. And while both brands are focused on specialist distribution, including custom, Definitive is even more limited in distribution. In that regard, they are kept quite separate.
On the back end, we've certainly taken advantage of a number of synergies, including regarding distribution. There used to be separate distribution warehouses for all, and now we have two, one in Vista, Calif., and another one in Memphis, Tenn.; all our brands are in those centers and we can service both coasts in a very efficient manner. Certainly, the general overall financial side is consolidated—that's a big part of what DEI Holdings does, as the financial superstructure to all the companies under the umbrella.
In things like corporate governance, I'm the CEO of DEI Holdings, and I'm always looking at ways we can add other synergies. For any new key technology—such as very thin speaker design, both for Polk and Definitive for retail and custom applications, I've definitely had both engineering teams cooperate so that we're getting the best thinking and the largest group of minds focused on it. We share technologies across platforms where it's appropriate.
CR: What are the specific market targets for each brand, and talk about where the differentiations and synergies occur, in product design, engineering and channel distribution. How do they co-exist under the DEI umbrella in ways that don't interfere with their maintaining separate marketplace footprints?
Minarik: In general, Polk overall has a broader line covering a wider array of price-points. We go quite high with the line but also get into categories such as, for example, powered surround bars. For a lot of custom retailers doing second and third installations in a home, bedroom or den, powered surround bars are a popular solution. From the consumer's perspective, it's not expensive, it's easy to understand, and easy to add onto the equipment in their homes to augment their systems where they might live just with a flat screen if they didn't exist. Polk moved very aggressively in that area, starting at $1,200 retail, but now they range down to $299 retail for a powered surround bar with a wireless sub. Definitive makes soundbars today, but all are passive solutions requiring components to drive them.

Since Sep 24, 1999
I guess I might count as a neo-conservative, since in my youth I was a leftist. (I jeer at self-described Marxists by telling them I outgrew Marxism along with acne.) I worked on the first Reagan campaign while a grad student at Penn, where I was active in the YAF chapter. We once 'FReeped' the Soviet ambassador, unfurling a banner with the list of captive nations, and signs in Russian proclaiming Vladimir Jeronovski Voice of Tyranny. We also held a candle-light vigil for the victims of the KAL shootdown: I spoke quoting Solzhenitsyn about the dividing line between good and evil running down the middle of the human heart, much to the surprise of the one socialist who turned up.

Parliament will block attempts by the government to award the second digital TV signal transmission licence to a Chinese company, the chair of the House committee on Energy, Communications and Information said Wednesday.
James Rege, the MP for Karachuonyo, said the parliamentary committee will meet this morning to look into the tendering process with a view to finding out how local firms were knocked out of the bidding process, paving the way for the award of the licence to a Chinese firm.
Information ministry and Communications Commission of Kenya officials are expected to appear before the committee to shed light on the matter.
Mr Rege was reacting to reports that the Public Procurement Review Committee had ruled against the National Signals Network consortium's appeal against its disqualification from the bidding process on technical grounds.
CCK threw out the consortium's bid on grounds that its bid bond, which covered 60 days, did not meet the required threshold of 120. The bidding firms say the CCK did not specify the period that the bond needed to cover.
National Signals Network (NSN) is a consortium made up of the Nation Media Group and Royal Media the two firms that are Kenya's biggest broadcasters.
NSN has questioned the validity of Pan African Network Group's (PANG) bid, pointing to a number of questionable aspects of its participation in the tendering.
The Chinese firm was registered four days to the close of the tendering period and its competitors are questioning how it got the tax compliance certificate that is required as a pre-condition in government tenders.
Kenya's media fraternity is also apprehensive over the award of the licence to a Chinese firm, a country that has never respected the freedom of expression and which conducts a regular crackdown on the media.
Mr Rege said the fact that only one company had made it to the final stages of the tendering means the process had failed competitiveness test ."If we find out that only one company has been left in the competition, we will not only put the process on hold but we will also have to find out whether or not this company has a 20 per cent Kenyan shareholding as required by law," he said.
Public procurement law requires a tendering process to have at least three bidders to be considered competitive. PANG is owned by two Chinese companies.
Digitisation of the TV broadcast is due in 17 months and is expected to maximise the use of channels by creating more players in the industry.
Mr Linus Gitahi, the Nation Media Group chief executive, has indicated that the consortium will appeal against the decision in court.

Humanities and Special Collections Cataloging Unit
Annual Report 2006-2007
In some ways, a good indicator of a cataloging Unit is its product. In 2006-2007, the HSCCU added 4,626 volumes and 812 pieces to the collection, which is a testament to the Unit as a whole, and Steve Fuquay as Interim Head. In addition to keeping the titles flowing through the Unit in spite of the vacancy created by Tatiana Barr's accepting a position at Yale University, the Unit tackled individually and severally other projects during the year. Randy Jewett was chosen as the HSCCU representative for the search committee for the vacant Head position. The search was successful, and Nancy Poehlmann started in the position on June 4 th.
Hikaru Nakano continued her representation on the search committee for the Romance Languages and Literatures bibliographer in the fall term. The search successfully hired Matthew Loving, who began in the position in February. Although Hikaru gave birth to her daughter Holly, on October 27 th, she continued to serve on this committee and attend meetings throughout her maternity leave.
Emilia Garcia continued to work with Special Collections materials by cataloging the Spindlewood collection, which UF received from a British publisher. After completing that project, Emilia began work on the photoplay collection, which is a large set of books with pictures and annotations related to the cinematic productions created from the texts.
The Cooper collection was also an important focus of the unit during 2006-2007, in spite of the scientific nature of the materials themselves. As interim Head, Steve Fuquay was the liaison with Dina Benson, Interim Rare Books curator, and worked extensively on the procedures with Jimmie Lundgren, Head, Social Sciences and Sciences Unit, and Betsy Simpson, Head, Cataloging/Metadata Department. Once the procedures were in final draft form, Steve met with Jimmie and Hank Young, project coordinator. The project was begun in January 2007, and is projected to be completed in late fall, 2007.
Ancillary to the Unit, but connected due to its focus on the Baldwin collection, was the NEH Grant Phase II. In 2006-2007, 3157 records were added through this project; 209 NACO records were created, over half of them for corporate names. Steve Fuquay worked closely with Rita Smith, Baldwin curator, to mainstream the workflow from this project into the Unit's daily routine. Although Jane Anne Carey and Jay Allbritton do all the cataloging and processing for this grant, the HSCU is responsible for the electronic records that will lead patrons to the digitized versions of these texts. In 2006-2007, these records resided in PALMM, and were input into LTQF, using NOTIS. Steve Fuquay worked to revise the procedures to best serve the Unit's goals of timely access to these materials; after a pilot conducted in January with Peter Bushnell, Randy Jewett, and Beatriz Lugo, the draft was revised and distributed to the rest of the department. By the end of the fiscal year, the Unit input 316 records for these texts. Toward the end of the fiscal year, NEH awarded us Phase III; it will run from October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008.
Toward the end of the fiscal year, Steve Fuquay had the responsibility of creating a training schedule for the new Head, setting up particular sessions with staff in Cat/Met as well as Special Collections, AFA, and Music.
Progress Toward 2006-2007 Goals:
- Provide training in rare books and serials to Patricia Dana.
Patricia has been trained in rare books, and has been working with Special Collections materials, but has not yet had serials training.
- Train Copy Cataloging to do copy cataloging of music CDs.
- Identify and catalog rare music materials.
Identification accomplished and work continuing.
- Work on increasing the number of CONSER serial records with a special focus on rare serials.
Beatriz Lugo was trained, and CONSER serial records increased, but not rare serials.
- Provide cataloging support to any new gifts and donations to Special Collections.
Steve Fuquay was very involved in the procedures for the Cooper collection; Emilia Garcia worked on the Spindlewood collection; Emilia also began work on the photoplay collection.
- Support the Department's goal of developing non-MARC metadata workflow (EAD, MODS)
Hikaru Nakano volunteered to learn how to create EAD finding aids from John Nemmers, but this training has not yet occurred.
- Explore and implement the inclusion of Cyrillic vernacular in our cataloging.
Hikaru Nakano, Peter Bushnell, and Randy Jewett have explored the implications and are looking into the implementation.
- Continue to provide cataloging support for the NEH project.
Steve Fuquay replaced Tatiana Barr as the coordinator until Nancy Poehlmann became Unit Head.
- Develop and implement a plan to incorporate the items in the old serials backlog into the unit workflow.
Begun at the very end of the fiscal year, by asking the selectors to review the materials.
- Review and complete cataloging of the Africana vernacular backlog.
- Complete the cataloging of the last of the Humanities microfilm backlog.

Extra Credit-Movie Analysis
6 May 2013
Office Space
Key Concepts: Agency- the extent to which people have control over there actions
Structure: ordered relations or patterned expectations that guide social interactions
Social construction: not natural, biological, or inherent, varies across time- we as a society give things meaning but we are not simply free to decide whether we subscribe to these ideas or not
The movie Office Space highlighted many sociological themes that we have discussed throughout class. For starters, the main character Peter is fed up with living out the societal construct of working a full time job from nine to five. He sees his work as mundane and unfulfilling. Peter then decides to use the agency he has to finally take action. Peter starts to fall into a pattern of not showing up to work because he does "not feel like it," basically in an effort to be fired. His boss even asks him to come into work on Saturday and Sunday and he does not show up for that either. This type of behavior goes against what people see as normal. Moving up the ladder within your job is a goal of almost every employee out there. This is why his co-workers and friends react they way they do. Furthermore, when Peter first tells his co-workers they are alarmed and try to convince him that he has to "pay his dues" now in order reap the benefits later. However, Peter has none of that and continues on his pattern. Peter is upset with the structure of society and how things seem to be working for him. So, unlike most, he decides he needs to take action to try and get fired so he can do what he wants, and to get out of his everyday rut. The agency Peter shows over his life begins to give him more confidence with everything. He even blatantly asks a woman out that is very attractive and she says yes. Furthermore, his plan to get fired takes an odd turn that he doesn't expect. There are consultants that come into interview all the employees of the company he works at and they absolutely love Peter, and they want to promote him because of his explanation why he does not work hard. This sort of behavior really is confusing because Peter basically admits that he does not work and the consultants then come to there own conclusions that it is Peters boss' fault that there is no incentives given for people to work hard. Again, this sort of behavior definitely goes against societal constructs in regards to the work force. In almost all scenarios when you are being interviewed or questioned about the importance of your work or what exactly you do you would think the best way to blow people out of the water would be to try and make yourself look better. However, in the end Peter ends up conforming back to societal norms that are being pushed upon him by society and he ends up getting a construction job that makes him happy with himself. Furthermore, this movie exemplifies the importance of structure and agency, as well as, societal constructs and how they shape our decisions in every day life.

Open Heart OTP of the Week: Dylan & WesPosted on 03/04/2015 by TeenNickBlogger
It's no mystery (*ba dum tsh*) that Dylan's love life on Open Heart has taken a backseat to her investigation. And TBH, it's been a long road for #Wylan. Remember when Wes almost got fired for letting his jealousy get the best of him? Or that time Dylan had a pseudo-crush on Dr. Hud, subsequently causing aforementioned almost-firing? Yeahhhh, this 'ship is no stranger to rough seas.
*Screeching brake noise* But you didn't think it was going to be easy, did you?!
Wylan's first attempt at locking lips was interrupted by a video chat call from Teddy, in which he bragged about a solo-mish break-in at the metal factory lofts. Ah, and the past rears its ugly head.
With their puckers put on hold, Dylan and Wes rushed to loft, where Dylan told Teddy to take a hike -- literally, she called the cops on him -- and made her biggest discovery yet. Finding her father's medication was a huge breakthrough, a validation that his disappearance was more than a stupid affair, and you bet Wes was right by her side. <3<3<3
(BTW, we totally count this as part of the date.)
When they got back to Dylan's apartment, she thanked Wes for his help and sealed it with a kiss. A KISS! And this wasn't a mere "It's the least I can do" kiss -- it was, without a doubt, the moment Wes and Dylan became our One True Pairing.
But we ask you, shippers... Is Wylan made to last? Or is their complicated past an indication of their future? The floor is yours.

Life With Boys: Strength vs. SmartsPosted on 02/12/2013 by Lisa
Our new intern, Jonathan, took a look at the "Misguided Motives with Boys" episode of Life With Boys, and he has a question for you. (If you haven't seen that ep yet, watch it here.)Here's Jonathan:
Jonathan takes a look at Life With Boys
Tess Foster is living her life with boys, but I'm living my life AS a boy -- imagine that! Tess may not have her own bathroom yet, but it seems as if she has definitely learned a few things from the three annoying brothers she has to live with. She's the only girl on the wrestling team and even though the head cheerleader, Kaylee, calls her a "boy-girl freak," I think she should stay on the team. Ladies, take notes: some guys want their girls to be a little rough. Why else do you think the blond guy was checking Tess out right after she viciously mutilated Allie's muffin?!?
Remember when you were too young to spell and your parents would tell you that if a boy was mean to you, he likes you? It sounds crazy, but they weren't lying. The girls who were the meanest to me in grade school ending up confessing their love for me sometime before my high school graduation -- I kid you not! This is exactly why Tess' genius brother, Sam, should not have fallen for Kaylee's attempt to get him to do her science project. Sam doesn't need to do extra work to impress her. Even if she doesn't realize it yet, deep down inside, she might already have feelings for him.
Even though Tess and Sam shared a womb, they are definitely two different creatures! Forget their genders for a second. Overall, are you more attracted to people like Tess, who are aggressive and strong? Or would you prefer someone like Sam, who's super smart?
What matters more to YOU -- strength or smarts? Vote in the comments!
Don't forget: Two new episodes of Life With Boys premiere Wednesday, starting at 8pm et!

Life with Boys: How to Get the GuyPosted on 12/28/2012 by Lisa
In this Life with Boys promo, Tess (Torri Webster) says there's a simple trick to get boys to like you:
Do you agree with her advice (even if she doesn't seem to follow it AT ALL in that clip)? I get what she's saying, but if you act like you don't care, the person might also think you're not interested, and that's no good.
My best love advice is very similar to the classic relationship tip, "Be yourself." That can be tricky advice to follow if you have low self-esteem, so here's another way to think about it: Don't pretend to be something you're not. If you change yourself (or fake an interest in something) to impress someone else, they're going to figure it out eventually... and who wants a relationship that's based on a lie? Nobody.
What's the best love advice you've ever received? Got any tips for attracting a crush? Please share them in the comments for those of us who are love-challenged.

The collaboration between Artek and Malmstenbutiken is no coincidence. Both brands have two celebrated designers in their history. Architect Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) and furniture designer Carl Malmsten (1888–1972) were master modernists who were both very influential in their time. Their careers spanned the same decades, when they both re-envisioned the beauty of everyday culture of their home country. The cultural differences between Finland and Sweden can be seen clearly in their respective views of modernism. For Aalto, design was very much about modern ways to use of wood. The elegant wavy lines in his designs were a perfect complement to the austere minimalism of Bauhaus. Both men were also highly appreciative of handicraft and woodworking. Malmsten was a champion of traditional craft skills. His designs attest to his fondness for rural romanticism and rustic styles, which he combined with sophisticated classicism is a modern way. Malmsten created a new homey and elegant style.
Jerk Malmsten, CEO of Malmstenbutiken, describes the collaboration: "I'm not interested in fixating on something becoming a classic and an icon of furniture design. Instead, I have always tried to ensure that Malmsten remains a pioneer and a trailblazer. That is what unites us with Artek. We are both among the first, relying on tradition, yet making the best use of curiosity and courage. What made the decision to collaborate even easier was the fact that we both have a background in design, which we use to try to make life better and create durable goods, and the fact that we love natural materials."
Artek abc Collection
The abc Collection consists small objects that integrate naturally into the rest of Artek's furniture collection. The title is a reference to the alphabet of living: the products serve the small needs of daily life and please the eye, bringing joy to the everyday. The objects in the abc Collection are functional and beautiful that all have their own place. The collection makes available unexpected, different and unique objects as a tribute to small production and art and crafts.
The showpiece of the first launch of the Artek abc Collection will be the Siena pattern, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1954. Aalto originally designed the pattern for fabrics. His idea was that it could be used freely for different purposes, and in fact Elissa Aalto once made an appearance wearing a dress made of a Siena fabric. The architectural and light Siena will be for the first time adapted to curtains, a soft blanket, a kitchen towel as well as coasters and trivets. The Siena range now consist nearly 20 small products.
Stool 60 Anniversary
Designed by Alvar Aalto, Stool 60 turns a venerable 80 this year. Stool 60 is the number one best-seller of Artek products and one of the most famous design products in the world. Artek will celebrate the birthday of the classic in many ways. The Malmstenbutiken range will include the anniversary edition of Stool 60 in colours that are borrowed directly from Aalto's Paimio Sanatorium (1928–1933): the yellow of the floors, the green of the walls, and the orange, white and black of the furniture.
In the career of Harri Koskinen (1970–), wood has been a particularly important material, along with glass. Wood for him represents Finnish identity, industry and crafts. Lento – Finnish for 'flight' – got its name for its lightness. In Malmstenbutiken, Artek will present the new Lento lounge chair and side table. The Lento range was launched in 2006. Koskinen designed the Lento chair as a durable piece of furniture for both public spaces and homes. The Lento Collection grew in 2009 when upholstered chairs and a table were launched at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. In Milan in 2012, Lento expanded to cover also lounges and lounge areas. The new Lento Lounge easy chair and side table are versatile, fitting public places, urban homes and country houses alike.
Artek Light Fittings
Light is a central element in Alvar Aalto's architecture. He was also interested in the health impacts of light. Architecturally functional lighting is not merely an aesthetic matter, its purpose is also to make the spaces easier to use and to impart a sense of wellness. Although Aalto's lighting solutions for natural as well as artificial light were always based on rational consideration, aesthetics was for him an important aspect of design as well.
Malmstenbutiken has an impressive selection of classic lamps designed by Alvar Aalto and a pendant by the Danish architect Jørn Utzon (1918–2008).
Floor lamps A805, A808 and A810 were designed by Aalto for the National Pensions Institute in 1954–59. The iconic Golden Bell ceiling lamp, A330S, was designed for the Savoy Restaurant in 1939. Its sister model, A440, was designed in 1954. Also known as the Hand Grenade, the A110 pendant was designed by Aalto in 1952 for the Finnish Engineering Society Building. The famous Beehive, the A331 pendant was designed in 1953 and it was part of the lighting solutions for the University of Jyväskylä.
Utzon worked in Alvar Aalto's office in 1946. Eleven years later, in 1957, he designed the U336 pendant for Artek, the very time he also began designing the Sydney Opera House.
Classics with New Eyes
Artek classics are alive in time and space, always fresh. Along with Aalto's designs, the furniture designed by designer/interior architect Ilmari Tapiovaara (1914–1999) still stands out from among the increasingly profuse trends in interior decoration and design. The calm the designs of the two masters radiate derives from a carefully considered essentialism. The combination of ergonomics, durability and aesthetics has endured for decades in schools, hospitals, restaurants and homes. The designs are the outcome of sustained thinking and sufficient time for experimentation.
Aalto's Armchair 406 is a variation based on a frame he designed in the 1930s. The use of bent solid wood was the most important technical innovation made by Aalto, and it enabled the creation of many chairs that have since then become classics. The most famous of these include Stool 60 and Armchair 41, more familiarly known as the Paimio chair. The leather webbing of Armchair 406 was introduced in 1947.
In 1946–47 Tapiovaara designed, together with his wife, Annikki Tapiovaara, furniture for the new student dormitory, Domus Academica, in Helsinki. It was for that project the famous Domus chair and Domus armchair were created. Originally designed as a desk chair, the Domus chair was used from the start for many different functions. Domus was a great success, and became the guilding light for all of Tapiovaara's subsequent work. Over the years, millions of Domus chairs have been placed in homes and public spaces.
The Tee-Tee Table was created when Tapiovaara was designing furniture for living rooms in 1939–40.
The Pirkka range was designed by Tapiovaara in 1955–1962 primarily for homes. The first product in the series was the Pirkka stool which was intended for cooling off after the sauna. Tapiovaara was a great admirer of Finnish rustic furniture and Pirkka is his modern interpretation of them.
In addition to chairs, Tapiovaara also designed several tables in the 1950s. He was particularly interested in their transportability and lightness. The Trienna Table was designed in 1954. The three joined plywood pieces double as legs and the top of the table. The seams between the pieces create a beautiful pattern on the top. The Trienna Table is elegant by itself and a fine centrepiece for creating exciting combinations.
Tapiovaara designed the Mademoiselle rocking chair and lounge chair in 1956. The design is based on the traditional Finnish spoke chair.
