Judith Sloan is an actor, audio artist, writer, radio producer, human rights activist, educator and poet whose work combines humor, pathos and a love of the absurd. For over twenty years, Sloan has been producing and presenting interdisciplinary works in audio and theater, portraying voices often ignored by the mass media. She will be performing YO MISS! in Maine in August 2015. YO MISS will be the keynote performance at the Biennial Trauma Conference in Baltimore October 2, and at the National Oral History Association Conference October 17 in Tampa, FL.
Fusing the art of theatre, poetry, and music, YO MISS! is a sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always truth-telling show about immigrant/refugee teenagers and incarcerated youth grappling with the cataclysmic events that shaped them. Using midi-controllers and an original musical score to accompany her compelling performance, Sloan remixes her own traumatic experiences with those of her students and transforms into a multitude of characters ages 14 to 80 years young.
"In YO MISS!, Judith Sloan's art and teaching cross-pollinate. Performing with musical collaborators, she re-enacts and riffs on her experiences teaching teenagers from myriad worlds: refugee camps, struggling neighborhoods, prisons. It is a performance about performances, a story containing many stories." New York Times
"Crossing the BLVD is a whirlwind tour and love poem of what has often been called the most racially and ethnically diverse county in America. In the tradition of the playwright Anna Deavere Smith, Ms. Sloan performs "Crossing the BLVD" adopting the personae (and respectfully mimicking the accents) of the varied immigrants whose stories are in the book… The New York Times, City Room Blog, Sewell Chan
"Crossing boldly carries the tradition of oral history into the 21st Century. Electrifying!" Eve Ensler author The Vagina Monologues
A world view that sees comedy and tragedy as two bones of the same skeleton in the closet. Superb!."
The Scotsman (Scotland's National Newspaper) Sara O'Sullivan (London)
"Funny and sad, topical and biting… Exquisite comic timing best of all, Sloan can make you see your world in a slightly different way. And that's what theater is supposed to do." The Indianapolis Star
"In listening to what people have to say, Judith Sloan captures the essence of their lives…She is one part Studs Terkel, one part Lily Tomlin, two-parts originality."
The Herald Bloomington, Indiana

With A Life In Books, Lehrer has upended the modern novel form and its narrative limitations, creating a rich and engaging story through visual literature… Mind-blowing… reality bending… a laugh riot and a visual feast."
The 2014 Best New Fiction Award USA Best Books Awards

A LIFE IN BOOKS: The Rise and Fall of Bleu Mobley is an illuminated novel that contains 101 books within it, all written by Lehrer's protagonist—Bleu Mobley—a controversial author who finds himself in prison looking back on his life and career. Mobley's autobiography/apologia is paired with a review of all 101 of his books, each represented by its first-edition cover design and catalog copy, and more than a third of his books are excerpted. The resulting retrospective contrasts the published writings (which read like short stories) with the confessional memoir, forming a most unusual portrait of a well-intentioned, obsessively inventive (if ethically challenged) visionary. A LIFE IN BOOKS explores the creative process of a writer/artist, as it reflects upon a half century of American/global events, and grapples with the future of the book as a medium, and the lines that separate and blur truth, myth, and fiction.
In his funny, thought provoking performance/readings, Warren Lehrer presents an overview of Bleu Mobley's life in books via many of Mobley's book cover designs, book-like objects, and other biographical materials including animations and video performances of Mobley book excerpts by the band BETTY and actress/poet La Bruja.

Studio 360, Click to listen. "An ingenious, one-of-a-kind novel." Kurt Andersen, STUDIO 360
"A profound commentary… A Life In Books is brilliant, beautiful, delicious for eyes and mind." Andrei Codrescu, public radio commentator

"A meticulously illustrated chronicle… Pitch perfect." Steven Heller, THE ATLANTIC
"A book-lover's fictional treat of books that never were. A Life In Books is ultimately about survival, and transforming the sadness of life into art. As Whitman said, 'I contain multitudes,' and Bleu Mobley contains 101 books and a belief in the bounty of life. Wonderful!"
Michael Silverblatt, BOOKWORM, KCRW
"A tour de force of graphic design, illustration and writing. Guaranteed to bring a smile."
Ken Carbone THE HUFFINGTON POST
"In the era of cookie-cutter books and rubber-stamped stories, Warren Lehrer's A Life in Books is fresh, original, idiosyncratic, beautiful, and important."

Willamette Plan Area Stewardship
In 1999, the Willamette River Stakeholders Task Force recommended that funding be expanded to develop "civic infrastructure" to create avenues for citizen input and involvement, and the creation of an institutional memory to recognize their time and commitment. Because of the large and disparate nature of the Willamette plan area, most stewardship activities will be implemented at the subwatershed level where residents are more able to make a personal connection with their neighborhood environment.
A significant difference between the Willamette and Portland's other watershed planning efforts is the lack of a watershed council that acts as a clearinghouse and repository of historical information and local knowledge. However, there are several groups distributed throughout the plan area that have a solid history of advocacy, environmental education, and stewardship. In the absence of a watershed council, outreach will likely occur through the network of Friends groups, neighborhood associations, and neighborhood coalitions.
Sixty-nine Portland neighborhood associations are wholly or partially within the plan area. There are also more than 25 separate business associations that operate within the plan area. The neighborhood associations and district coalitions are the city's recognized structure for the participation of citizens in Portland's civic affairs.

PROJECT BREAKDOWN: The Other Side of the Clouds
As many of you know, the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) recently launched a video that Tucker and I produced in Yosemite last fall. On many levels, it was a dream assignment: Spend 10 days in a stunning national park, and come back with a cool story that supports NPCA's mission. But like any storytelling assignment, we encountered many unique and often stressful challenges.
Check out our video below, then read the project breakdown that follows. And let us know what you think!
One of the coolest parts of working for NPCA is that after seven years, you're eligible for a six-week paid sabbatical to pursue a passion project related to the national parks. Well, last June marked my seventh anniversary as an editor for National Parks magazine. And there was no question in my mind that the following September, I'd hitch up my Airstream, head west to a national park, and direct an advocacy video for NPCA.
After months of planning and brainstorming with coworkers, I set my sights on Yosemite, and invited Tucker to join me to shoot a story about traffic problems within the park. There was just one problem: Two days in, it was clear we'd missed the worst of the gridlock. And while we knew we could probably land some good interviews, it would be impossible to tell this story visually.
Thankfully, NPCA was open to us heading in a whole new direction, and another answer lay in our very backyard. Turns out the couple in the campsite next to us-- retirees turned full-time Yosemite volunteers-- had some fascinating stories to tell. After spending just 15 minutes with them, we knew they'd make great characters for our film. (Read more about this on NPCA's blog.)
So we went right to work. And this is how the project unfolded...
1. Time. Because we switched stories, we had, at most, four days to embed ourselves with our subjects.
2. Tension. The last film we wanted to make was a fluffy profile video about two jolly volunteers. We needed tension. So when they told us that they hardly ever went into Yosemite anymore, our ears perked up. How does someone volunteer for Yosemite full-time, yet never actually goes there more than once or twice a month? Turns out they spend most days working in an military-like office complex in the small town of El Portal. Their jobs range from stuffing envelopes, to creating spread-sheets, to scanning and cataloging books. Immediately, Tucker's mind started racing for possible ways to introduce this hook: Cute couple that's traveled the world now sits inside doing mundane tasks minutes away from Yosemite. Why they do it: Year after year after year they continue volunteering to keep busy, stay healthy, and prolong death. They see their old friends just "rocking in their chairs counting down the days," and they say, "Nope, not us. We're going to keep on living." Sounds like the start of a solid little narrative, right? Well…
3. Depth. Here's where it gets complicated. Henk and Georgia, in their words, come from a generation and upbringing that frowns upon complaining in any way. So during the interviews, there was this stalwart refusal to speak about their jobs or health in any negative light. Admirable qualities, indeed, but certainly makes storytelling difficult. In fact, stuffing 700 envelopes in a dark room all alone on a beautiful Sunday afternoon is something they enjoy! We didn't buy it. Two days to go, and we're back to square one of narrative building.
4. Visuals. We had plenty visuals of Henk and Georgia in their RV and the office, but without any direct quotes to carry the tension we wanted to portray, we were basically left with shots of an adorable woman stuffing envelopes. Zzzzzz. One day to go.
5. Advocacy. Three days in, Henk admitted that they didn't "waive the National Park Service flag." Sure, they supported the idea of public lands for all to enjoy. And yes, when it came down to it, Yosemite held a special place in their hearts. But they tended not to differentiate between the value of volunteering in a national park versus anywhere else where they were needed in the past-- like the Olympics in Atlanta, for example. So anytime we fished for an inspiring quote about the power of Yosemite, or something about their connection to the place, or what's kept them there for 10 years, we'd get painfully logical answers: They weren't here because of some intense love or loyalty to the landscape; they were here because they were trying to stay active while they aged. And Georgia's doctor happened to be in the town next door.
1. Location. We came to the conclusion that the only way to pull this video off was to get them in the park. It meant they'd no longer be the atypical volunteers that first attracted us to them, but we'd get some beautiful Yosemite visuals-- something NPCA and park lovers would enjoy. So they dug up an old assignment that required them to document historic markers in the valley, and we got a few hours of footage of them in the park, which ended up being nearly half the film.
2. Tension. The more we transcribed, the more we realized that the tension and conflict we needed to create a complex story just didn't exist. So we decided to keep it simple and light, about a charismatic couple coming to terms with aging the best way they knew how: by doing good in a national park.
3. Time. We spent as much time as possible filming Henk and Georgia at work and in their RV-- and they were extremely gracious about this, inviting us in every time because they wanted very much to see us succeed. At night, we'd go through footage and talk about how the story was shaping up, so that by the time Tucker left, we had some semblance of a storyboard to work with.
4. Advocacy. I can't tell you how many times I freaked out over the lack of inspiring park quotes. Had I made a huge mistake, choosing to focus on characters who didn't live for the national park experience? But Henk and Georgia are who they are, and framing them as anyone different would have been a huge disservice to their story. So we went with the story they gave us. And then we threw in as many inspiring Yosemite images as we could. And what do you know, a few months later when I premiered the film at NPCA's headquarters in Washington, D.C., staff were so drawn to Henk and Georgia's charm and honest message that they didn't seem bothered by the lack of inspiring park quotes. One coworker even commented after the showing that because the message was so subtle, more Americans-- park lovers or not-- will be able to relate to the story. Exactly!
1. When in need, remember stock photos. With only a few hours of footage from the park, the video was feeling a little too light on parks for NPCA. So we found three nice, cheap landscapes of Acadia, Ft. Sumter, and, yes, Yosemite-- all of the park units where Henk and Georgia had volunteered-- and then Tucker applied an Instagram effect so they'd match other old photos in the scrapbook scene. Not ideal, but we think it was a pretty clever solution for filling an important visual hole.
2. If your characters aren't opening up in interviews, get them to open up when you're shooting b-roll. A big part of the reason we decided to keep the office scenes is because Georgia finally admitted that stuffing envelopes was "a lot of repetition," and it was enough to hint at the fact that not all the work they do is glamorous and fun. That said, even without this, we absolutely needed to incorporate their office work into the story somehow; showing them only in Yosemite would have been fiction.
3. Quotes shouldn't have to do all the work. This was a hard lesson for me, coming from so many years of print journalism, where we often rely on stellar quotes to guide stories. But in this case, even though Henk and Georgia didn't say everything we hoped they'd say, we were still able to tell a genuine story about them and let the visuals (Yosemite landscapes, office scenes, hand-holding on trails) do the rest. Never underestimate the power of visuals!
That's all we've got! Thanks to Tucker for adding many of the thoughtful reflections above. We'd love to know what YOU think of the video, so share your comments below, or join the conversation on Facebook!

This seems to have been the year of scandal and not even one of our favorite children's TV shows is immune. Kevin Clash, the voice of Tickle Me Elmo, has just announced his resignation from Sesame Street amid a second man's claims of underage sex.
The question is will Sesame Street search for another voice for one of most popular characters or retire him all together? What do you think they should do? Here's more on the breaking news

"We're talking wieners."
To promote his new talk show "Conan" on TBS, Conan O'Brien has set up a live web cam in the Team Coco offices. As you can see from the above screen grab, crazy sh*t is going down. I've been watching it for awhile now and it's oddly fascinating. There has been an 80's aerobics class, a public speaker, and a black man holding up a sign that says "I See White People!!!" I personally just like watching the employees walk by. It makes me feel like I'm part of a nurturing office environment. Not this damp cellar they call SJ Headquarters.
The Live Coco Cam is live until tomorrow at 1PM ET/10AM PT. Check it out HERE.
When it was first announced that Conan O'Brien would embark on a live tour as a means around NBC's cock-blockery, my first thought was "Awesome!" Then my second thought was, "Don't bring your guitar. Don't bring your guitar. Don't bring your guitar." Today the giant comedian wrote on his Twitter:"Hey Internet: I'm headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music (GODDAMNIT-Ed.) tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It's half-assed."We've got the full list of tour dates after the jump but I've got to say, I'm kind of disappointed. Tickets for the Radio City Music Hall dates cost between $44 and $84 BEFORE Ticketmaster rapes your wallet with hidden fees and bullsh*t additional charges. Conan's funny and all but if I want to see a Masturbating Bear, I can probably do so for free in the West Village. (Team Coco)FIND OUT WHEN CONAN'S COMING TO YOUR JERKWATER TOWN AFTER THE JUMP…

text: This is so true!! I tended to ignore the state requirements (I teach English). I made sure I covered the concepts, but I would find my own material and new ways to get them thinking, writing, and reading. In a 66% poverty school with at least 33% ESL (Spanish speaking) students, I had a 94-97% pass rate for the state tests. In my ESL writing lab, 90% of my students passed the writing part of the test. If we can get them focused on THINKING and exploring, they can go further in life. The author is right - these state tests have a narrow focus on skills. Sometimes they have to learn something, "just because you need to know it," but they are more enthusiastic when they can see how the skills used in learning something will help them later in life.

I found "Nice One Son" gamely combining ignorance with arrogance and so mistaking "stuff he doesn't know" for "stuff nobody could possibly know".
Think the question was something like "Can science save the planet?".
No they can't.
Science still cannot answer basic questions;
1. Why are we here?
2. Why do we grow old and die?
3. How can all of this have happened by chance?
Basic questions that need answers.
Nice One Son
I boggled at this for a while, and tried to work out how it had happened. I imagined myself in his shoes and everything became unclear. The shoes were shite and I didn't know anything. Then I forgot what I was doing. Then I decided to tell the BBC what I'd done today – in case they wanted to use it on the news.

This week I have been mostly… pondering existential philosophy.
1. Big bang and that.
2. Ageing.
3. Because.
If I'm right.
Nice on son has chosen this nickname in order to congratulate himself after every single tedious post.
His parents most probably never did. They most definitely always thought he's a thick cunt.
I'll change my nickname to NiceOneMate, because i have no friends, and i will then be re-reading my post in my mind, and read "Nice one mate" in the voice of someone else, and for a few seconds i'll believe that i won't die alone because everyone in the world thinks i'm a thick boring cunt…
Nice one mate.
I take it that by "basic", he actually means "tremendously complicated". As for saving the Earth, I think Flash Gordon gets a go before science steps in.
All questions in the universe should be put in order and no-one should be able to answer any until all the preceding ones have been answered… ITS LOGICAL PEOPLEQ!!@

I think you'll find Flash Gordon is science (fiction).
My coat's the one with the feather shoulder pads, thanks.
I expect his real name is Cyril. Though this does not excuse anything
My dad was an accountant. If anyone ever got even remotely philosophical in conversation, his response was, "If you want to know who you are and why you're here, call the Inland Revenue. They will tell you exactly who you are, and why you're here."
Sì, è lui, quello con i logotipi di Hello Kitty. Grazie.
Ooooh, Miss! MISS! I know, I know! Is the answer to no. 2 'because thick cunts like you suck the will to live out of the rest of us'?
Erm, science can explain why we grow old and die…..
I find it's best if at the end of his post you take "Nice One Son" to be read very sarcastically. Like "Yeah, nice one son, you fucking fungi's fannyflaps".
Erm, science can explain why we grow old and die…..
No it cannot. "Science" cannot explain right now, to me right now, why we grow old and die. C'mon science, explain to me, right this minute, here and now why we grow old and die….
Yeah thought so.
telomere degredation
C'mon science, explain to me, right this minute, here and now why we grow old and die…
We grow old and die because everything tends to chaos. While it is possible for a collection of molecules that has attained consciousness to be perpetuated indefinitely, the third law of thermodynamics means that if this were the case, the entire universe would eventually become a single living being with a consciousness. There are some, of course, who believe that this has already happened.
2. Cars go rusty.
That explains why people in biblical times were able to live for so long: no cars
Why hasn't Nice One Son grown old and died?
Then leave his obese body to science so we can find out why HYS twats are twats
I assume he's hoping in relation to 1) that he was placed on this earth to make assinine comments on HYS, because if it isn't then it could turn out he was simultaneously wasting his life and publicly humiliating himself.
If it is his true calling, then other questions that science can't answer- like "Why is the sky blue?" and "Why does my car engine roar to life when I turn the little key?"- remain woefully underasked.
Is the answer that we were put on this Earth to suffer and die for God's sadistic wanking pleasure?
I'm going to Hell aren't I?
Science still cannot answer basic questions;
1. Why are we here?
2. Why do we grow old and die?
3. How can all of this have happened by chance?
Actually, these are not basic questions at all. These are absolutely humunguous fucking huge bloody questions with great big knobs on them. Take a fucking philosophy class, Nice One Son! Then you can learn to ask true conversation-stoppers, like "Why do we say Why in questions like Why are we here?" and "Who can answer? Who has the right to be able to the answer?" "What do I mean by who?" "Why am I even asking this shit?" Etc., etc.
I've often thought that everyone should do a little philosophy, but only a little. The first philosophy book you read contains Great Truths. But after that philosophy basically descends into navel-gazing and becomes the study of the totally fucking obvious.
And then there's Twentieth Century philosophy, which contains statements of the otiosely batshit badly translated from the original French by people whose forewords are (suspiciously) just as unreadable as the "difficult" original text.
How can all of this have happened by chance
The gibbering terror of contingency that made Kierkergaard and Nietzsche such bores lives on…
I'm disapointed not to find a HYS poster answering the original question:
'Can science save the planet?'
'No. Only Nick Griffin can save the planet.'
This is more amusing when you imagine Griffin in a Buck Rogers-esque costume and pose. Possibly.
We're all mugs. I've just realised that the question as posed by the BBC HYS takes for granted that the planet is in danger.
So, if I were a climactic skeptic (snigger, snigger) worth my salt, the answer to "Can science save the planet?" would be "Planet doesn't need saving, thanks."
2. Disposable soma.
While it is possible for a collection of molecules that has attained consciousness to be perpetuated indefinitely
Shit, I have never come across this. Do you have a source for that?
I rather enjoyed the other answers of 'sort of', it depends' and 'could go either way'
Cuger's on the case in that thread as well by the way. Some elliptical bollocks about abolishing IVF since it's as bad as hanging an innocent man.
Now you work that little dilemma out.

There are those who argue that if one man was hung by mistake, then the death penalty was justifiably withdrawn.
So should not by the same logic IVF be withdrawn?
No one has a right to an abortion because of their contempt for life and lack of belief in the almighty either.
The most precious thing in life is our children, their upbringing and future.
If our interpretation of 'sustainability' means: I want, I need, I must have (artifacts) then we have no chance of stopping climate change.

Thank you, mr ed!
The identity problem fits in quite nicely with Cuger's schizophrenia, I think. We can all squeeze out as many kids as we like, but unless we put a stop to overpopulation the planet's going to hell in a handbasket. (Pretty big handbasket, I'd say.)
As an unassailable higher authority*, I think Cuger Brant is not racist but his grandfather didn't win WW2 single-handed to see third-world countries breeding like lemmings and threatening HIS PRECIOUS SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE, dammit.
*Higher than Cuger Brant**, anyway

I wondered about the Third Law of Thermodynamics right enough, and wanted to see what tenious connection was being made. It sounded plausible enough, I have heard similar theories. I have not found any reputable sources though.
Oh, come on! You can see from the cover of that book that it's clearly an Avatar tie-in.

I have visited several hospitals all over, and I park myself in a strategic place for 5 minutes and write the activities going on around me. Excluding cleaning staff, in the best case 41 staff, Doctors, Nurses, Admin etc. walked past. Doing nothing but walking up and down corridors, the worst case there were 76 people of similar stature, just walking several with clip boards, doing absolutely nothing. The average of all the Hospitals together is 52.3 persons per 5 minute spell (any time but mainly daytime) that equates to 5020.8 people doing nothing in an 8 hour period. Forgive me if I seem a little too simplistic but even if you half the number 2510.4 is much to many. Take into consideration that "anything can be moved from one place to another as many times as you like and you will not add a penny value to it. surely the largest single saving can be made in hospital efficiency just pouring tax payers £ in will do nothing to improve the situation, in fact all it is paralleled to is government spending on Quangos.
For "I park myself in a strategic place for 5 minutes and write the activities going on around me" read "I sit in the waiting room and take pictures of unknowing nurses in their black stockings and senisble shoes, so I can later wank myself into a frenzy in the house I share with my mother."
Some HYS moderator clearly fancies himself as a bit of a journalist.
There are two sad things about this article: the HYS monsters will believe that their solutions to the ever-expanding oil spill will have been taken seriously now that they've been published, and the science-man they've recruited to counter such measures as 'chuck a nuclear bomb into the sea, that'll stop the oil' is called Prof Iraj Ershaghi. Ain't no way an HYS will believe him, poor dear. In fact, those damn terrorists probably paid him to make such lefty-loony statements.
An example:
"Epoxy might be a better top kill method than mud, and in any case a heavier solid is needed – try bismuth and/or iron shot. Delivering the resin and catalyst into the well requires two tubes, though an intermediate pulse of isopropyl alcohol may have a chance or separating the two liquids in a single feed tube, there'd be a risk of simply clogging the feed tube before it reached the well.
"Another alternative plug is a torpedo, wire-guided, with a low speed mode (or restrictor) for manoeuvring into place, and an extended warhead holding just enough charge to split containers of epoxy monomer and catalyst." – Jeremy, New Jersey, US
Prof Ershaghi says: "A torpedo or any warhead entering the casing would have made this a major catastrophe as the loss of casing integrity would have resulted in a crater with continuous and uncontrollable oil flow for the next 30-40 years depending on the amount of oil in the reservoir."
Firing a warhead into the well not wise

"Doing nothing but walking up and down corridors"
So if this bell-end had his way, nurses would change IVs whilst on the move and surgeons would conduct appendectomies whilst on their way to have a sandwich.

"anything can be moved from one place to another as many times as you like and you will not add a penny value to it"
Mmm. How true. Oil, for example. Worthless whether it's under the seabed or in my central heating tank. Or indeed hospital patients. What possible benefit could there be in moving them from the hospital carpark to nice, clean rooms that could be better used for counting doctors and nurses in? What a load of useless wank. Doctors shouldn't be allowed to go into corridors for any reason whatever. If they need to have a crap, they can just shit into their patients. Fucking patients are under anaesthetic anyway, so they won't notice if the doc cuts into their bowels and makes an urgent deposit of brown goods halfway through the operation. As long as he stitches it up again when he's finished it'll be OK. Bloody government, paying our doctors to walk from A to B when they could be saving lives.

The tendency of bullshit to be created in a increasing manner, based on natural logarithms, as more bullshit-makers get together.
The average of all the Hospitals together is 52.3 persons per 5 minute spell (any time but mainly daytime) that equates to 5020.8 people doing nothing in an 8 hour period.
over the course of an 8 hour shift, your average medic will spawn a new person every 5 minutes, without fail.
either that, or this guy doesn't understand how numbers work. could be either, really.

For a doubt can exist only where a question exists, a question only where an answer exists and an answer only where something can be said. (Tractatus 6.51)
The difficulty is to recognise the groundlessness of our beliefs.(On Certainty #166)
and the biggie for HYS posters
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. (Tractatus 7)
This is genuinely brilliant.

Just as a aside, would any of us* be able to maintain Charlie Brooker's façade of being a miserable misanthropic bastard if we were shagging Konnie Huq?

Cue HYL telling us how he 'almost got off with an asian bird once'.

Several years ago she Blew (my) Peter (sucked my penis)

'almost got off with an Asian bird once' = wanks over "Asian Babes".
You're not related to Derek in Durham, perchance?
exponential manurfacturing
Can anyone define this phrase for me?
Explosive diarrhoea.
I'm appalled to hear that Charlie Brooker now has a reason to be happy. This could have a disastrous effect on his output.
The average of all the Hospitals together is 52.3 persons per 5 minute spell (any time but mainly daytime) that equates to 5020.8 people doing nothing in an 8 hour period.
This guy thinks that if it takes 3 minutes to soft-boil one egg, then having three eggs in the pan will require 9 minutes.
But did she look like Sandra Bullock?

If they are all of the same stature where does the .3 and .8 come in? Perhaps this is the .3 of a doctor – http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/little-couple/
I have visited several hospitals all over, and I park myself in a strategic place for 5 minutes and write the activities going on around me. Excluding cleaning staff, in the best case 41 staff, Doctors, Nurses, Admin etc. walked past…etc..etc..fucking etc.
weallmustvote just has to be a patient in a secure hospital ward, who thinks he's Mr Logic from Viz, and is given a toy pocket calculator (no sharp or detachable parts) to amuse himself with.
I submit into evidence 'Symphony of Science' (google it) – I guarantee that it will give you a lovely fuzzy feeling about what science might actually be able to accomplish. 'We Are All Connected' is the best one in my opinion. I admit to having had a teenage crush on Carl Sagan…

I do not think this is such a good idea. It would be better to allow spouses in on temporary visas, say two years, to avail the opportunity of learning the language.
Do you get the feeling that Confuciousfred mail order bride has just picked up enough English to call him a tool?
Right now I'm humming "Feelings… nothing more than feelings…" to myself…
From that 'immigrants coming over here to get married need to speak English (not British)' thread:
The government should NEVER put the immigrants wants and needs ahead of the people who have lived here for thousands of years.
Do we have a new record for the world's oldest person?
Indeed, I can see no reason why the needs of, say, a 17 year old from the former soviet states who's been trafficked and forced into prostitutng herself to fat balding middle class white blokes should EVER be put ahead of said fat balding cunt.
Oaf, I hate to be pedantic but I'm afraid there's a small punctuation error in that quote. An additional apostrophe is required here:
immigrants' wants
I find it difficult to understand exactly what the commenter is saying when it lacks correctly positioned punctuation. Please relay this to the author of the quote (I would do it myself but I'm not exactly sure how to contact him or her).
Thanks in advance,

Oaf, I hate to be pedantic but I'm afraid there's a small punctuation error in that quote.
Never apologise for being pedantic!
However, it wouldn't be a quotation if I changed it.
I would contact the originator but I doubt that he or she would understand or care.
I have corrected it so it fits the normal HYS style:
immigrants want's and need's ahead of the people who have lived here for thousand's of year's.
Is that better?
@t'otherone good god, the man conducts his own independent audits- and what does he see? Receptionists just sitting there behind the reception desks and doctors wandering around writing things on charts! This is a hospital not a writing class!
Keep it together Lurk.
If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to look over this Mail story about a nurse flashing her bra at a Google Maps camera.

While we're on the subject of science, have a listen to this Onion report which appears to confirm the efficacy of the Kadir-Buxton method!
if we were shagging Konnie Huq
We? What? All of us?
She must be a most accommodating young lady, no wonder Brooker looks miserable, he's probably at the back of the queue.
At least it solves the mystery of his new hairstyle. It's the kind that a girlfriend would suggest.
Off topic a bit but this lunch time I have really enjoyed reading the HYS thread on 'What has Big Brother taught us about human nature?'
I can't do block quotes, however my favourite so far has to be John H who wrote:
"Never watched, never would, ever, I have a brain that stops me watching purile rubbish such as this and the soaps.
And before anyone says that I'm out of date, kill joy etc. I will ask this, as I do to everyone who goes on, and on, and on, about this drivel.
What did you do today?
Did you do what I did? That is, get up, get dressed, have something to eat, did something, talked to someone, did some more things, eat some more food, talked to more people. Then got undressed and went to bed.
It's what we all do, every day".
Come on John, be honest. The things you did were just posting on HYS, the people you spoke to were other rabid ringworms' ringpieces like you who post on HYS and the other things you did were stare into a pit of despair at the fact your mum, and not your brain, stops you watching Big Brother and the soaps because you're a colossal twat.
If I'm right.
If you like the Big Brother house so much, why don't you go live there?
John seems to have glazed over all the furious masturbating.
Colourless green ideas sleep furiously.
Anyone get Bongo Bongoland or the Former Soviet Republic of Bulimia in their World Cup sweepstakes?
They're already entered in the finals, no? I remember that, because it's to avoid them feeling discrimined against. If I'm right. You couldn't make it up.
Bongo Bongoland v. the Former Soviet Republic of Bulimia would doubtless be a more absorbing match than England v. Japan.
Well, yes. Imagine the post-goal celebrations of a bunch of weedy stick insects*. Assuming they could get one past a goalkeeper sporting an enormous pair of bongoes, that is.
*I might be getting Bulimia mixed up with the former soviet republic of Anorexia here
Re weallmustvote. If we gave all the nurses them little scooter things, would that make things better or worse? They'd spend less time in transit but they'd probably whizz past the pillock more often. But at least he'd get less chance to stare at their statistics.
And, incidentally, girlfriends do not go round suggesting haircuts all over the place. We may suggest that a haircut is required on occasion, but we don't generally define what type, and particularly not a crap one (unless we're bored and in need of a cheap laugh). If he's got paranoid enough to think he ought to smarten himself up if he's to keep a top-drawer bird like Konnie, that's his own fault, not hers.
The average of all the Hospitals together is 52.3 persons per 5 minute spell (any time but mainly daytime) that equates to 5020.8 people doing nothing in an 8 hour period.
weallmustvote is just the sort of citizen we need in the Big Society. Thanks to his work as volunteer hospital hall-monitor, now everyone has at their fingertips the knowledge that it takes him about 6 seconds to note down someone's height and their clipboard-carrying status.
Perhaps for his next assignment he can monitor the spike in work-rate that occurs when a pissed-off security guard, of outlandish stature, has an extremely productive one-to-one meeting over by the biowaste containment facilities.
you agree then that the haircut is crap?
I remind you that you are under oath
I haven't seen the haircut. I merely state we ladies only recommend crap ones for a laugh. If you Google images Charlie Brooker it offers you hair as a third word automatically so clearly it's quite the interweb buzz topic at the mo. Is it the one where it's all shaved off?
Better to be under oath, than to be under Oaf
@ loumo
It was an election night haircut. I don't know if this picture does his complexion justice, but it appeared to have turned the colour of fresh excrement
And, incidentally, girlfriends do not go round suggesting haircuts all over the place.
Speak for yourself; my 3rd date with TYF was forcing him into, I mean, getting him a massive style overhaul. In my defence, he wore a beige fleece on our first date thus forfeiting all rights to any say in his own appearance ever again.
I like Charlie Brooker's new hair. It can't just be me and The Huq who do, surely?
Sidenote: how long will it take HEAT to start calling them Huqer, I wonder.
Blimey. Blimey to La Spesh and Blimey to the hair.
Generally I subscribe to the view that you can't polish a panfried otter's bollock so I stop returning their calls if I disapprove of their shoes.
The hair's a bit flopped quiffy for my tastes, and it just doesn't look miffed enough for him. It's a bit Tory. Possibly deliberate for electin night, but even so.
I was feeling a little down so I went and read Cuger's website.
An exponetial event sometime, in the very near future, will make all of you will realise: WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE, even if you have an IQ of <100.
So, uh… the stupid will not inherit the Earth.
The simplest way to explain all this gobbledygook is; Imagine living in a land of perpetual budgets. What you give with one hand, someone else will take with the other.
All I want is to get back control of my other hand.
The chain, the circle of life that had held in harmony all living things on planet Earth, had been broken, broken by another species of the planet. It had been broken by a vain, self-pleasing, self-gratifying, conceited species called Homo erectus.
According to Wikipedia, Homo Erectus became extinct about 1.3 million years ago.
Right, that's enough Cuger-baiting for now.
What you give with one hand, someone else will take with the other.
I think it must be a Zen thing and if we meditate on the nature of "the other hand that takes" we shall achieve Enlightenment. Most likely this Enlightenment will be the realisation that Cugar Brant is indeed King of the Twatbaskets rather than anything more profound but you never know.
What you give with one hand, someone else will take with the other.
Right, so I just need to avoid left-handed people? I do that already.
"Right, so I just need to avoid left-handed people? I do that already."
I'm left-handed, and we of the sinister persuasion are fed up with you smarmy normal righter-than-right types giving us grief about our way of life. I swear, if I hear one more crack about le- *hand flails malcoordinatedly from keyboard and breaks writer's nose*
I think he's saying that what Cuger loses in publishing fees gets negatively recouped by Bruce's marketing work, leaving them both out of pocket and out of hands.
And speaking as a left-hander, I make it a rule to avoid them like a plague of dirty bombs in a sewage plant.
Now there's a little enigma for you readers to grapple with!!!!!
Because I am a massive twat (notice: AM) I accidentally posted this on the previous thread:
Dearest Nelson, please can we slag off THIS gen-u-ine DM reader's letter for our next scornfest? I would've emailed it as a submish but I am too rubbish. Cheers.
Slinking away in shame now…
And, incidentally, girlfriends do not go round suggesting haircuts all over the place.
No, that'd be too bloody simple wouldn't it. Instead it's dozens of snide comments, sneers and suggestions so subtle they can barely be said to have occured at all.
I'm not one to generalise, but all women are crazy bitches. Not that I'm prejudiced or anything, some of my best friends are tarts.
Oi! La Spesh, scroll upwards, it's already been done. Keep up.
We've discussed Mike Phelps' (the twat, not the swimmer) opinion. Although I do think a thread dedicated to him is certainly worthy.
And, incidentally, girlfriends do not go round suggesting haircuts all over the place.
Truth. When I a) had hair and b) had a girlfriend she would mostly limit the location of any suggested haircut to my head.
@RLFB – well, I DID say I am a massive twat. I have read the whole thread, so how did I miss it? I shall slink off even more shamefully now. In my defence, have been in hospital recently and am still slightly monged out from the drugs (man).
PS @Kris – I'm not subtle at making suggestions about TYF needing a haircut. I've spent all week telling him he looks like a date-rapist footballer from the 70s, although truth be told, it's more like Peppermint Patty.
If he's got paranoid enough to think he ought to smarten himself up if he's to keep a top-drawer bird like Konnie, that's his own fault, not hers.
I smartened myself up for her, and she still didn't even know I existed.
One day, perhaps …
I'm not subtle at making suggestions about TYF needing a haircut.
I expect you're actually a muff-diver or something.
Don't worry, all this sexism is going under the 'Jimmy Carr Irony Umbrella' so it's alright.
@Kris – under the umbrella and riiiiiiiiiiiiiight back out again into the hood of the Jo Brand Sneering At Unoriginal Sexism Pac-a-Mac. Am not a lesbian; I just go for men who can actually make proper jokes.
Hang on, weallmustvote puts himself 'strategic place' so he's either blocking part of an important thoroghfare or the other option is he's gone onto a ward for no fucking reason and is eavesdropping on confidential info. Plus he spends time collating info on people with clipboards… presumably on a clipboard?
He is a rectal tumour,a syphilitic cock, a colostomy bag of a half-man

WASHINGTON (AP) _ The chief executives of Detroit's automakers
and the head of the United Auto Workers plan to meet with House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi to discuss the financial status of the
struggling industry.
Two people familiar with the plans for the meeting say the executives of General Motors, Ford. and Chrysler, along with the union's president, will meet with Pelosi in Washington Thursday to talk about the credit crisis and access to government funding for the auto industry.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the meeting is private.
Pelosi has called for Congress to enact a stimulus program to shore up the sinking economy during its lame-duck session.

The Be Prepared Episode from Imaginality. This week Darren takes a look at something we can always prepare for our creative journey… ourselves!
Be Prepared is widely known as the Scout Motto. It should also be part of our creative toolbox. Preparation is one of the three basic tenets that I believe we need to keep in balance to get the most out of our creative times. The others being Inspiration and Perspiration.
In the Be Prepared Episode I take a brief look at three areas we can prepare; our body, our mind and our spirit.

Primus' Les Claypool Thanks Fans For Bidding on Bass Auction Benefiting Ailing Nephew
A couple of days ago, it was announced that Primus bassist/singer Les Claypool would be auctioning off a rare prototype of his Pachyderm bass to benefit his two-year-old nephew, Matthew. Claypool's nephew is suffering from a rare form of infant leukemia and is undergoing bone marrow treatment. With the medical costs rising, Claypool is putting his bass up for auction on eBay to help pay for Matthew's treatment.

What can be better than meeting your heroes? Having them sing 'happy birthday' to you of course!
And that's what happened to one young Arsenal fan who attended a Q&A session with some of the Gunners' stars.
The youngster was called up on stage by new-boy Alexis Sanchez, who delighted the fan as he got the whole room to wish him many happy returns.
While some of the Arsenal players were more enthusiastic about encouraging the crowd than bursting into song themselves, it will certainly be a moment the junior Gunner will never forget.

Dr. Donna's billing person, Marilyn, has been with the practice for about eight years. Marilyn is a hard worker and has never given the doctor any reason to think she slouches on the job. Her job description is limited to billing and she does her work efficiently, in a timely manner and without complaints.
Lately, however, Marilyn has had to deal with some family difficulties that require her to be more present at home. She immediately went to Dr. Donna to explain her predicament and said although she would like to continue working for her, spending time away from her family would make that difficult. Marilyn wondered if the doctor would consider allowing her to continue working from home. She said if someone could make arrangements for her to access the billing software from her computer, she really did not need to be on site. All billing calls could be forwarded to her home and she would provide regular updated billing reports and check in regularly.
The doctor was initially conflicted and for the first time, her trust in this dedicated employee was tested. Dr. Donna did not feel threatened. She could have always looked for a new biller, but she did not want to lose a good employee. Accordingly, Dr. Donna agreed to the new arrangement.
If you were in her shoes, what would you do? It is not all that uncommon. A CareerBuilder.com survey indicated that 27 percent of employees telecommute at some point throughout the year.1 Here are some arguments for and against working from home.
Pros (working from home):
1. There are more flexible hours to be able to deal with family needs.
2. The employee can have a better balance between home and work. This is less stressful and may be more productive. (According to a Stanford University study of call center employees at a Chinese company, workers' performance improved by 13 percent when they started working from home.)2
3. Telecommuting builds self-motivation and independence.
4. Telecommuting cuts back on travel/gas/car expenses.
5. There are no interruptions from yappy co-workers, "water cooler" chat or daily drama. Workers have better concentration.
6. Workers do not have to make excuses or "call in sick" if needed at home.
7. Working from home instills trust in employees and produces more dedicated, appreciative workers.
8. Working from home opens up the workforce to more talented, educated women who might not otherwise be available.
Cons (working from home):
1. To many, telecommuting is considered a step backwards in today's workforce.
2. Trust issues exist for employers. Are employees truly working or just goofing off?
3. Home-based employees have minimal interaction with coworkers. They do not meet new people. They miss out on the social life at "work." They have no intellectual exchange outside of the home.
4. Employers may have a smaller pool of applicants to choose from and lose (or lose out on) good talent.
5. With workspace and home as one, it's hard to separate when to stop working. Home workers may actually end up putting in more hours than they would with a regimented 9 to 5 job, adding stress.
6. Distractions at home prevent full concentration on work.
7. Working at home requires greater time management and self-discipline skills.
Would employees "goof off" or procrastinate with no supervision at home? Would they waste time on Facebook or the Internet instead of doing their work? Yes, I believe some will. (But don't kid yourself. That happens in the office too.)
On the other hand, keep an open mind that there are some who will be more productive in a home environment. For those who have children in school, there is adequate quiet time of uninterrupted work as well as all of the benefits of being there when their children get home.
Let's face it. There are job descriptions that simply cannot convert to a "work-from-home" option. Obviously, the clinical assistant needs to be present but allowing a biller (who finds it necessary to work from home) this type of flexibility is like hiring a billing service, only better. You know your employee's capabilities and you are really not "outsourcing," so you are not giving up control.
In the end, it all comes down to the individual employee and some admit, "It's just not my cup of tea." This arrangement also requires a doctor seeing the benefits of this and mutual cooperation on the "rules" of the new arrangement. That said, if the employee who suggests that working from home will make her life easier is also the type of person who truly enjoys her work, is good at it, has an excellent work ethic and is fully committed to the practice, she will be productive regardless of where she sits. So why not consider her needs and make her happy?

I am on the left, with my soul sister af…
This photo is awaiting approval and will be posted soon.
Play our fun game and find out if the one you like likes you back. Confide in us if you think you'd hit it off by clicking: Yes, No, or Maybe. We'll anonymously find out and let you know if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said YES! If the feeling is mutual, we'll let you both know.
You've already said No. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said Maybe. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
Shoshana is my hebrew name.
The most important thing you should know about me is I am a true animal lover. I work part-time in the pet care industry and am an advocate for homeless, adoptable pets. My own pets are well taken care of. My Boxer comes to the office with me every day. During favorable weather, I choose eateries that allow dogs on the patio so I can bring her. My 40th Birthday party was at Pelancho's on the dog patio so my friends could bring their pets to share in the festivities. Yes, they are that important to me!
In my day job, I pretend to be a paralegal. The Attorneys I work for are like my family and I am lucky to have them in my life. Both of my parents have passed on, so my friends are more family to me than simply friends.
I love to laugh and enjoy being around people who can somewhat ground me. I can be a little intense at times, but not in a bad way. Simply overly-compassionate . A good friend once told me, "sometimes having a conversation with you is like being in an episode of I Love Lucy" which I took as a compliment!
I am a total foodie. Love to cook, especially with another person who enjoys cooking with quality, local ingredients. I tend to support my local food suppliers over national brands. I almost never eat fast food. Okay, maybe the occasional chocolate lava crunch cake from Domino's, but that's it.

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.
