Veteran risk manager Glace to report to CEO
CHICAGO and BALTIMORE – Exelon (NYSE:EXC) today announced that upon closing of the Exelon-Constellation merger, Joseph R. Glace will become senior vice president and chief risk officer for the combined company, reporting to president and CEO Christopher M. Crane. Glace is currently vice president and chief risk officer for Exelon. In his new role, he will serve as a member of Exelon's Executive Committee.
"The new Exelon will have a significantly increased scope across the energy value chain. It is vital to our future success that we diligently manage risk from an independent and enterprise-wide perspective. The senior team we're announcing today reflects strong leadership from Exelon and Constellation. In particular, with 31 years of leadership in the energy industry – including more than a decade of managing risk – we are very confident in Joe Glace and his ability to run this increasingly critical function," said Crane.
Crane added that the elevated reporting relationship from the chief risk officer to the CEO reflects Exelon's objective of further instilling a risk management culture throughout the organization, as well as the significantly increased scale of its post-merger commercial business.
Reporting to Glace upon completion of the merger will be the following executives:
• Brenda L. Boultwood, currently senior vice president and chief risk officer for Constellation, will become senior vice president, Enterprise Risk Management, Credit Risk and Trading Policy Compliance. • Michael G. Pechin, currently director, Credit and Risk Analytics for Exelon's Power Team business, will become vice president, Wholesale Operations. • Daniel M. Scobell, currently director, Portfolio Management for Exelon's Power Team business, will become vice president, Market Risk and Analytics.In addition, Robert J. Gauch, currently vice president, Credit Risk, will remain in that role in the combined company, reporting to Boultwood.
Pending all required approvals, Exelon and Constellation expect to complete their merger in early 2012. On Aug. 3, the Public Utility Commission of Texas approved the merger. Shareholders of both companies overwhelmingly approved the transaction on Nov. 17. Other required approvals include the Maryland Public Service Commission, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the New York State Public Service Commission and the Department of Justice.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.

In the days following September 11, we feared for our future. Would terrorist attacks become a fixture of life? Would we have to live the rest of our days with the knowledge that our work, our dreams, our loved ones, our lives could be obliterated at any moment? Was the America we had known and loved�the free country our founding fathers pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to create�gone forever?
In an impassioned speech to Congress last Sept. 20, just over a week after the attacks, President Bush brought hope to many. He pledged to eradicate terrorism by waging a war that was to begin with al Qaeda and the Taliban, but that "will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated." Although the speech contained several concessions to America's enemies, including a refusal to name the many nations besides the Taliban that sponsor terrorism and promote militant Islam, Bush came across as an implacable foe of terrorism with his now-famous statement: "Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make: either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." This sentence marked the birth of what was later named the Bush Doctrine�the policy of waging an uncompromising war against terrorists and their state sponsors.
Bush's unequivocal pledge seemed to relegate to history our decades-long failed policy of treating terrorists as individual criminals while ignoring their government supporters, of meaningless pinprick strikes, of the most powerful nation in the world dealing with tin-pot terrorist dictators by diplomacy and appeasement. Finally, it seemed, America was asserting herself.
After hearing President Bush's bold promises to protect America, many Americans shared the sentiment expressed by Senator Joseph Lieberman: "If I were a terrorist tonight," he said, "I would not go to sleep feeling very comfortable about my security."
A year later we are the ones who are less comfortable about our security. According to a recent poll by USA Today, only one-third of Americans believe that we are winning the war on terrorism�down from two-thirds in January. Our leaders, humbly resigned to the threat of mass death, tell us that future terrorist attacks are inevitable. The cause of this newfound pessimism? President Bush has abandoned the Bush Doctrine.
"I will not yield, I will not rest, I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people," he promised. But our freedom and security are imperiled because Bush, bowing to the demands of our so-called "allies," has relented repeatedly. In Afghanistan his failure to commit large numbers of American ground troops and to effectively seal the country's borders allowed thousands of terrorists to escape and plot the murder of more American civilians. His reluctance to bomb key targets, for fear of inflicting civilian casualties, allowed much of the al Qaeda leadership to escape. Even worse, Bush has not taken substantive military action beyond Afghanistan�repeatedly delaying an attack of Iraq, for instance, even though he acknowledges the grave threat posed by Saddam Hussein, who has chemical and biological weapons and is eagerly developing nuclear weapons. "I am a patient man," Bush explained�but when American lives hang in the balance, patience in disposing of our would-be murderers is an unmitigated vice.
"From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime," Bush promised. But he has not treated the nations who create the terrorist threat as hostile. Bush has issued no ultimatums and taken no military action against Iran, which, according to his own State Department is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. He rewarded the Palestinian Authority's 21-month escalation of terrorism against Israel with a promise to create a Palestinian State�with leaders to be democratically elected by people who overwhelmingly favor destroying Israel. He did not oppose the U.N.'s election of Syria, to its "Security Council."
Such actions are a betrayal of the trust President Bush won from the American people a year ago, and a return to the suicidal appeasement practiced by his predecessors. On the anniversary of Bush's most important speech, we should demand that he resurrect the Bush Doctrine by uncompromisingly prosecuting state sponsors of terrorism. Nothing less will save America. And, as the President himself has said, "time is not on our side."

Please add your own good things!
1. When I got to work, three people complimented me on my outfit and said that I looked great.
2. At work, one of the senior managers stopped by my desk to offer his condolences about my divorce (my name changed, so he found out.) He told me that he was divorced, and then about how much better his life has been since. Gave me tons of compliments (not in a creepy EA sort of way!) and offered his ear if I ever needed to talk about it.
3. Ran with a friend after work. We've become closer since I moved neighborhoods. He's one of the most interesting people I have met, and I'm so glad to have him in my life. The run just flew by with him at my side.
Married: 11 years, no kids
Character is destiny
2. Today's lunch vendor sold mashed potatoes and gravy a la carte so I didn't have to buy a full meal.

3) I was able to use frequent flyer points, so my ticket to NY in July only cost me $180.
I may be losing my job but life is good!
2) Was able to empty my storage unit that I thought I would have to pay another month on.
3)Was told I am a great cook and I don't show it by how I look!
1. Had dinner with a great friend and she paid She has been with me through thick and thin with this A stuff.
2. Had a good conversation with my usually non communicative son
3. See my thread "just have to share"
1) BB made it back from his motorcycle trip to Texas today. He stopped by his house barely long enough to unload his bike, and came straight out to see me. Hmmm......I'm thinking he might have missed me.
2) I ran into one of the guys I dated for a while a few months ago. It kind of just "fizzled" between us, but no hard feelings or anything. We ended up having a nice visit, and it's obvious that we can be friends and not be uncomfortable around each other. That's a plus!
3) I got all the maintenance caught up on my jeep today. WooHoo! I've running really behind on getting my personal stuff done, so this was a huge relief to me. Slowly getting caught up around here......
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to
change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.
-Reinhold Neibuhr
1. I had several people compliment me on my recent weight loss (down 22 lbs so far!)

2. The Dr. has an easy and quick-acting solution to two recent and frightening side effects DD has developed with her new Tourette's med. This med has been miraculous on her tics, and I was terrified we'd have to take her off of it, but with a simple OTC solution, she should be free from side effects and able to continue the med.
3. DD survived 7th grade. Let summer begin!
Can I post 3 more today? This is supposed to be a daily thing, right?
1. I was told I am a very powerful speaker at the public speaking training I was at for 6 hours today. I HATE speaking publicly, so this was an really touching compliment to me.

3. G texted to say he misses me and he still gets to see me tomorrow, right? Silly boy, I had just emailed him to confirm.

These programs work well for high school P.E. field trips or grade school field trips or after school activities where parents/grandparents accompany their students at the fishing location. Young student fishing is easy when family adults come along to help, and family participation encourages recurring fishing trips, creating a lifelong interest in this outdoor sport.

Illinois Trapper Education Online Course
The IDNR offers an online course for those interested in learning to trap. People who are required to complete a course before purchasing a trapping license now have two choices. They can take a full-day course in the classroom or complete half of the requirement online and half in the classroom, where they learn hands-on skills such as setting traps and preparing pelts for sale.
Courses are free. The IDNR encourages all trappers, regardless of age, to take a course. First-time trappers under 18 years of age must complete a course and pass a written exam before they are allowed to purchase a trapping license. Those under 16 years of age must also have written permission from a parent or guardian before purchasing a license.
Illinois Trapper Education Online (http://www.trappered.com) covers topics such as trapping equipment, laws and ethics through online film clips, reading materials, quizzes, photos and illustrations. Students can exit the course and resume work where they left off at any time. The course is accessible using a basic dial-up connection, although high speed connections work best.
At the end of the Internet course, students must successfully complete the final exam online and download a printable document of completion. Students must present the document when attending the four-hour training session with instructors. To locate an instructor-taught course, visit http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/safety/Pages/default.aspx or call 1-800-832-2599. The Ameritech Relay for the deaf and hearing impaired is 1-800-526-0844.
Wild Illinois History Leads Students on a Journey to Learn About History and Wildlife Conservation
The IDNR is offering a "virtual" trip for late-elementary schoolteachers, students and their parents. With a few mouse clicks, students can journey back to the earliest days of the Illinois Territory when voyageurs and Native Americans hunted the prairies, forests and rivers. Wild Illinois History helps students in grades three through five focus on early French exploration, along with river and settlement geography. Students can learn how wildlife helped Native Americans and early settlers survive. They also can see how wildlife is a part of our lives today. A fictional French trapper in the 18th century Illinois Territory leads students on the trip. Brief story-telling slideshows are mixed with fun, interactive activities. For teachers, Wild Illinois History offers lesson plans, activities, photos, posters and correlations to Illinois Learning Standards. Try it out at http://www.wildillinois.org/. For more information, contact Bob Bluett, IDNR Wildlife Diversity Coordinator at 217-782-7580 or email@example.com.
Urban Fishing Program
Coordinators for the IDNR statewide Urban Fishing Program will come to your school and conduct programs aimed at getting kids interested in fishing and the outdoors, while promoting environmental stewardship. One part of the program involves actually taking kids fishing during May and September, if a nearby lake is accessible. Teachers may continue the program on their own after the initial session, with the assistance of IDNR personnel. Contact the Urban Fishing Program Coordinator in your area.

After much prayer, meditation, consultation, and inebriation, it has been revealed to me that the FSM (holy be his sauce) wants us all to have group cyber pasta.
It's not what you think! (You really ought to be ashamed of yourself.)
In loving worship of hot meaty balls, dripping with the sauces of his holiness, we shall engage in mutually satisfying intercourse of noodly slurping and swallowing, licking the plate until we all groan in satisfaction together.
According to the revelation (supported by the scriptures, including the controversial Second Book of Recipes, Chapter 4, Verses 16-32) up to sixty four worshipful believers can simultaneously experience the rapture while up to 128 may watch, and 256 only read email spam advertising the Cyber Pasta Group event.
According to the New York Times:
"Cyber Pasta Groupies, as they like to be called, hijack chat rooms and describe to each other just how they are twirling their sacred pasta, slurping their holy cup o'noodles, or nibbling meaty balls."
Yes, the Landover Baptist Church, home of the TrueChristians(tm) is contemplating condemning CPG'ing as immoral. Yet, I see no reason to disobey the revelations I received direct from his noodly appendage.
Therefore, I'm inviting you all to form CPG's to commune with others in the true spirit of holy piracy.
I look forward to future anonymous encounters with like minded strangers who want to exchange some sauce. I feel the power of the wholesome goodness when I lift a spoon on high, and breathe out a worshipful "RAmen".
When we share it together, it is a powerful experience. There have been anecdotal reports of instantaneous eruptions of workplace enuresis, speaking with tongues, and spontaneous orthopedic response. The late Reverend Rector was said to have cyber pasta'd with over 512 groups in his lifetime.
I share this good news with you, in the name of the noodles, the balls, and the holy sauce,
Reverend Doctor Epictetus, Th.D.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Christina M Nice feel & look! I bought these for a party and for a replacement for many broken stemmed water glasses. These are very elegant, have a nice sturdy feel, and clear clean style. Stacked glasses are very stable. Highly recommended! November 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Old Fashioned - Not DOF Attractive and convenient to store especially when you are limited in space. Just one clarification, these are old-fashioned glasses (hold about 8 oz) not double old fashioned (about 12 + oz). Overall, great value. August 7, 2011

Driving in Rio is not recommended for overseas visitors due to the chaotic nature of the traffic. The public transport system in Rio is cheap and efficient, and most places can be reached by metro or bus. By far the quickest and easiest way to get around is by the efficient metro, but there are limits to its coverage of the city with only two lines. Walking around is generally safe as long as there are crowds of people, although walking in the centre of the city is not recommended after the shops close and their security guards go home. The most inexpensive form of transport is the local buses, which travel all over the city as fast as the traffic will allow. Unfortunately, they are often badly driven, crowded, and the scene of much petty theft, especially during rush hours when the crowded conditions are ideal for pick pockets. Special care should be taken on buses known to be used by tourists, such as those to the Sugar Loaf. Public transport stops between 11pm and midnight, with some buses operating twenty-four hours, but it is safer to hire a taxi late at night. Taxis are plentiful and relatively inexpensive, charging a lower rate after 6pm (except Sundays, holidays, and in December). Radio taxis can be ordered and are said to be safer and more reliable, usually with air-conditioning, but they are thirty percent more expensive than regular taxis. Drivers may add a surcharge for extra luggage

Brazil has a variety of electrical voltages, sometimes within the same city. The better hotels offer 220 volts, 60Hz. If not, transformers are available in electrical stores. Outlets often accept a variety of plug types.
The Brazilian currency is the Real (BRL). The US dollar is also welcome in most tourist establishments. In the main cities foreign currencies can be exchanged at banks or cambios. There is an extensive network of ATMs in the country and most major international credit cards are accepted.
The international access code for Brazil is +55. Mobile phone networks cover the main cities and towns, and phones are available to rent. Internet cafes are widely available and most hotels provide internet access. Every town has a central telephone office called a Posto Telefonico where long distance calls can be made, and public phone booths are everywhere, operated by phone cards.

Situated in the tropical South Atlantic, Rio de Janeiro is warm all year round. Summers, between November and March, are very hot and humid with heavy rains. Temperatures during the summer months frequently rise as high as 104°F (40°C). Winters are cool and dry, never cold, with some precipitation, lasting only from June to September.
Public buses are available and passengers can connect to Rio's Novo Rio Rodoviaria bus station in the city centre. More expensive airport shuttles are available to downtown hotels and popular destinations and often have an English speaking guide.
Car rental companies, including Avis and Hertz can be found in Terminal 1 and 2.
Taxis are available outside the terminals. Visitors are advised to buy prepaid taxi vouchers at the Rio Tourism Authority desk; they are usually a little bit more expensive but give you peace of mind. It is advisable to ignore the RDE taxi desk and go to the Rio de Janeiro State Tourism Authority desk instead and buy prepaid taxi vouchers there. If you hail a taxi outside the terminal make sure the meter is cleared of the last fare.
A moving walkway connects the two terminals.
The airport is well equipped with facilities including ATMs, banks and bureaux de change, shops, restaurants and bars, duty-free shopping, luggage lockers and a tourist help desk. Facilities for the disabled are good.
There is a multi-level car park across from the terminal that offers short and long-term parking.
There are a few wifi hotspots operated by pay services like Trustive and Boingo.

New Source Review (NSR) Permitting
Fact Sheet -- Implementation of the New Source Review Program for Fine Particle Pollution Final Action to Stay Grandfathering Provision Already Subject to an Administrative Stay
- On September 16, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stayed a portion of the rule implementing New Source Review (NSR) Program for fine particle pollution for nine months. This final action follows an earlier 3-month administrative stay. The affected part of the rule is known as "the grandfathering provision for PM2.5."
- This provision allowed federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit applicants to meet permitting requirements for both fine and course particle pollution by relying solely on the course particle requirements, if they applied for the permit before July 15, 2008 and had not yet received their permit
- A "stay" means that the provision is not in effect for a prescribed period of time. On June 1, 2009, EPA administratively stayed this provision until September 1, 2009. In this notice, the Agency is taking final action to stay the provision beyond the administrative stay for an additional nine months. The second stay would remain in effect until June 2010.
- EPA will also propose to repeal the grandfathering provision for PM2.5 in a separate rulemaking action. The second stay will provide sufficient time to enable EPA to propose and take public comment on the issues associated with repealing the grandfathering provision for PM2.5.
- Congress established the NSR program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments and modified it in the 1990 Amendments. NSR is a national preconstruction clean air permitting program that provides important public health and environmental protection by ensuring:
- attainment and maintenance of air quality standards when factories, industrial boilers and power plants are modified or built. In areas that do not meet the national air quality standards, NSR ensures that new emissions do not slow progress toward cleaner air. In areas that meet the standards, especially pristine areas like national parks, NSR ensures that new emissions fall within protective air quality standards.
- that state of the art control technology is installed at new plants or at existing plants that are undergoing a major modification.
- NSR is comprised of several preconstruction review permitting regulations for stationary sources. The part of NSR applicable to large (major) sources locating in attainment areas is called the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program.
- The grandfathering provision for PM2.5 is one of a series of amendments made to several new source review (NSR) regulations as part of the final rule entitled "Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5)" published in the Federal Register on May 16, 2008. The grandfathering provision applies exclusively to the permitting requirements under the federal PSD program in states lacking EPA-approved PSD programs.
- On July 15, 2008, and then again on February 10, 2009, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club petitioned EPA to reconsider and administratively stay specific parts of the final rule. The Petition objected to four parts of the final rule, including:
- using the new transition schedule, and continuing to allow the use of the PM10 surrogate policy, for PSD programs in states with PSD programs that EPA has approved in the states' implementation plans;
- "grandfathering" permit applications that were complete, before the rule's July 15, 2008 effective date and that rely on EPA's PM10 Surrogacy Policy, so as to continue reviewing the permit application using PM10 emissions as a surrogate for satisfying the new PM2.5 requirements;
- allowing states to exclude condensable particulate matter from NSR applicability and emission control requirements until January 1, 2011; and
- allowing states to use EPA-recommended PM2.5 precursor trading ratios to offset PM2.5 emissions increases in PM2.5 nonattainment areas
- On January 16, 2009, EPA denied the first petition. However, on April 24, 2009, EPA responded to the second petition, agreeing to reconsider certain aspects of the rule and to administratively stay the challenged grandfathering provision for three months.
- Interested parties can download information on this action from Regulatory Actions.
- The notice of proposed rulemaking to extend the administrative stay and other background information are also available either electronically in www.regulations.gov, EPA's electronic public docket and comment system, or in hard copy at EPA's Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. Docket Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0062.
- The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center is (202) 566-1742.

|Proposed bill would benefit migrant workers
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:32
A new law that has the support of farm and labor groups would guarantee migrant farm workers a mattress at labor camps in North Carolina.Under the proposed legislation, inspectors would check conditions at problem camps more frequently. Under the current standards, some camps allow 15 farm workers to share a toilet or an outhouse. Some labor camps have no transportation. Others offer cardboard instead of mattresses. The proposed bill passed in the Senate and awaits discussion in the House.
Not all current conditions are bad. In Ashe County, Ron Hudler's Christmas tree farm has no trouble finding workers. He provides a living space for about 80 workers a year and has telephones, cable television, freezers and washers and dryers at his camps. He would be in favor of the proposed legislation.The state currently has approximately 1,300 registered labor camps.

BUFFALO, NY - Running enthusiasts -- and those simply wishing to show their support for the victims of Monday's horrific bombing at the Boston Marathon -- gathered in Delaware Park Sunday morning for the Boston Marathon Solidarity Run.
Hundreds took part in the community-wide display of solidarity with the people of Boston. They were also collecting donations for the Red Cross and One Fund Boston, the official fund for bombing victims. More than $14,000 was raised through the run.
This grassroots event was organized by Beth Weinberg.
"Buffalo is an amazing community, I'm so glad to live here," she said. "We're the City of Good Neighbors ... everyone is so supportive and friendly and wants to help."
According to the Boston Marathon Solidarity Run Facebook page, more than 1,100 people out of about 7,000 who had been invited stated their intention to participate. The run was free and open to anyone who wanted to come.
Another solidarity run was held in the Southtowns on Saturday. Marcia Stocum Gray-Wilkerson posted the attached photo to the 2 On Your Side Facebook page showing runners outside Brierwood TRX Training and Wellness in Hamburg.
The Associated Press is reporting that thousands of runners in New York City and across the world are also showing their solidarity with the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
More than 6,000 runners finished Sunday's Run for the Parks, a four-mile run in Central Park that was planned before Monday's attacks.
Organizers sold "I Run for Boston" T-shirts with proceeds going to One Fund Boston.
Other "Run for Boston" events have taken place worldwide, with many runners wearing blue and yellow, the official Boston Marathon colors.
More than 500 runners gathered Saturday in St. Louis for a Unity Run. In San Francisco, about 400 people ran Friday along the Embarcadero. A run christened "Boston Strong San Diego" is planned for Monday.
Sunday's London Marathon started with a moment of silence.

What They Should Have Sung
Some songs have an element of magic. They squeeze your heart and flood your mind. It's far from always clear why, but it can happen in an instant, and it happens again each time you hear the song anew. The mystery of music – but lyrics have a lot to do with it, too.
One such song is Handbags and Gladrags from the 1960's, recorded many times since. I saw a recent Rod Stewart TV concert, where he sang it together with the Stereophonics, who made a somber cover of it in 2001. But Rod beat them to it, on his very first solo album released in 1970, and he's kept the song with him through the years.
He was not the first, though. The initial recording was made by Chris Farlowe in 1967, but it was written by Manfred Mann singer Mike d'Abo, who recorded it without much notice in the 1970's.
Handbags and Gladrags has an enchanted melody, paired in a splendid way with instruments slightly heading elsewhere. That's delicious, like Champagne with salmon, but still it would fall flat without the lyrics, which sort of create and elevate the tones of the melody. Poetry that turns into song all by itself.
It's strikingly obvious already at the sad starting lines:
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
trying to make herself a bride?
The chorus is an intriguingly composed line: The handbags and the gladrags that your granddad had to sweat for you to buy.
But that was not its initial form. Mike d'Abo had it end: so you could buy, which is simply bad grammar. Rod Stewart obliged in his version, but he also used a slightly different wording, copied by the Stereophonics three decades later: The handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you. But there, the melody becomes slightly awkward, not as naturally flowing as in the first solution above.
Also, the message doesn't stand out as well about the spoiled girl carelessly spending money that she wasn't the one sweating to earn. Granddad didn't spend the money. The girl did that all by herself. Otherwise she would not be to blame.
The choice of words in the Rod Stewart and Stereophonics versions also lose the emphasis on the word "sweat", which brings additional power to the message of the song. They stress instead the word "had", and that doesn't help much.
Strangely, I find no version of the song where the ideal wording of the chorus is used. I may have made it up myself. That happens. Anyway, that's what they should all have sung:
The handbags and the gladrags that your granddad had to sweat for you to buy.
The version above is by Kelly Jones (singer of Stereophonics) in the Jools TV show.

I very recently found out that you reviewed Meaning Green restuarant under the alias Bong. Although I am a vegetarian myself, I have to agree with you after consuming a few meals at the Stockholm restaurant in the year 2000. The food I got was ice cold, everything was cold food, not preheated or anything and my gf almost broke up with me right there since she found a lot of sand on the salad leaves. But still the guy who started it he was on TV, fascinating guy. He went over to manufacturing juices.ReplyDelete
Could you pehaps please post something about your Meaning Green experience? It was an international chain so why not in English on this blog?
I did find a Mike d'Abo version which uses the preferred "had to sweat for you to buy" line. It's a live take on an odds & sods album called "Hidden gems & treasured friends", maybe the original recording was somewhat different (I haven't heard that) - but he most surely recorded this version before Stefan created his blog post on the matter. And furthermore, he did write the lyrics. So the point made would seem valid.ReplyDelete
Nisse, welcome to the blogosphere! Great news about the d'Abo version. I'm glad that my views on the poem are shared by the poet himself.ReplyDelete

CSS3 is the latest version for Cascade Style Sheets available for now. Chrome, Mozilla, Safari and Opera support it, whereas IE (versions 7 and 8, not sure about 9) doesn't. You can do all kinds of things and get very cool features from CSS3, like rounded edges and even animations. Although using CSS3 excessively may slow things down a lot, especially making scrolling down painful in some browsers.
