All Product Details
My films are scripted. I use improvisation as a tool during the rehearsal period before we shoot, but basically, once we start shooting it's a very set thing. Improvisation is misunderstood. We don't just turn people loose. Robert Altman (Born in Kansas City, Missouri, 1925-Died 2006) Robert Altman became one of the most accomplished filmmakers of his generation, but his pathway to making features was a long and winding one. After flying fifty bombing missions as a B-24 co-pilot in the Army Air Corps, he returned to his native Kansas City, where his father was a prosperous insurance man and amateur gambler. He spent the next decade shooting documentaries for a local industrial company before heading for Hollywood in 1955, where he made The Delinquents in 1957. He spent another decade directing television shows, including Maverick, Peter Gunn, Route 66, Bonanza and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, before making Countdown in 1968, a low-budget story of the first flight to the moon starring James Caan and Robert Duvall.
Once Altman started making features, the skills he acquired on television sound stages enabled him to become one of Hollywood's most prolific directors, displaying the widest range of subject matter and style. That Cold Day in the Park with Sandy Dennis in 1969 wasn't well received, and his career had stalled when he was offered M*A*S*H, a script that had been passed over by many leading directors. Altman, at age forty-five, placed his stamp on the story of an army field hospital during the Korean War, creating a box-office hit and capturing the Palme d'Or at Cannes, five Oscar nominations, and Best Picture of the Year recognition from the National Society of Film Critics. Altman liked to have several stories moving at the same time. He favored overlapping dialogue and he was more interested in characters than plot. "I look at film as closer to painting or a piece of music," he once explained. "It's an impression of character and total atmosphere-an attempt to enlist an audience emotionally, not intellectually." He followed M*A*S*H with hits and misses like Brewster McCloud, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Images, The Long Goodbye, Thieves Like Us, California Split and then, in 1975, one of his career triumphs, Nashville. Set during the last five days of a fictional presidential primary, Nashville interwove the stories of twenty-four characters in the music business and showed off many of Altman's favorite performers, including Elliott Gould, Lily Tomlin, Julie Christie, Shelley Duvall and Keith Carradine.
Roger Ebert wrote that after seeing the film, "I felt more alive, I felt I understood more about people, I felt somehow wiser." Between 1976 and 1990, Altman made fourteen pictures including Buffalo Bill and the Indians, 3 Women, Popeye, Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, and Vincent and Theo. His career received a shot in the arm with The Player, the sardonic look at Hollywood based on Michael Tolkin's novel, a film that earned him his third Oscar nomination for Best Director and the award for Best Director at Cannes. It was followed by Short Cuts, for which he took Raymond Carver's writings as a point of departure and earned a fourth Oscar nomination. Then came seven films in six years, including Prêt-à-Porter, The Gingerbread Man and Dr. T and the Women, none of which matched his most admired work.
Throughout his career Altman jousted with studios and sometimes with collaborators. He angered screenwriters when he said: "Many writers have hard feelings about what I do to their scripts, but my idea is, it's not their script. Their script is my tool to work with-I don't owe them an apology." Altman had to fight to get his films financed, often pressing his vision in ways that put his career at risk. He was known for his irascibility and hard drinking and found it difficult to convey his concepts to studio heads. "When I explain what I want to do," he told the Washington Post, "they can't see it, because I'm trying to deliver something they haven't seen before." In 2001, Altman made Gosford Park, an elaborate, multilayered murder mystery filmed in an elegant English manor house with an ensemble cast of England's finest actors. It was the third-best box-office outing of his career and earned seven Oscar nominations, including Best Director and Best Picture. He received the Golden Globe for directing Gosford Park. Hollywood honored the iconoclastic director with an honorary Oscar in 2006. In accepting it on national television he revealed for the first time that he had received a heart transplant ten years earlier.
Altman came to AFI and spoke with the fellows following a screening of Gosford Park. Robert Altman December 18, 2001* I saw in the Gosford Park production notes that you passed out etiquette books to the upstairs people. We had three technical advisors. We had a butler, a housemaid and a cook who were all in their mid-to-late eighties and who, during the period of our film, which is set in the early thirties, had all worked in service. The maid, a woman named Violet, had worked at Chequers, which is the prime minister's residence, and also for Bernard Shaw. They were there to assist the actors. I'm a foreigner making a film about English manners, which is a little presumptuous and arrogant of me, so I wanted to be sure that we got it right. And the actors all wanted to get it right. We found out in doing this that most of these films you see from England about this sort of thing aren't right at all. In the first half of the twentieth century you had these estates with maybe forty servants for a family of six. You had these two totally separate societies going on. That's really the reason we made the film. What we found is that most of these people worked in an average of two households their entire life, and none of these houses were run in the same way. There were certain protocols that were similar, but when somebody would say, "Oh no, they never served this with so-and-so, "it became clear that in another house they did things completely differently. Except for cigars and brandy after dinner? That's always the same. And get the women out of the room. I wonder if there is any particular reason why you're drawn to stories with large ensemble casts. It's a caprice of mine. I can give you a lot of quick answers. I made a film called Secret Honor which had one character, Richard Nixon. I've made films with only a few characters. 3 Women comes to mind. But generally I like to see a lot of stuff going on.
A glib answer I have, which is true, is that if a scene doesn't work I can always cut away and go to something else. I'm finding that large casts seem to hurt a film commercially. These are not date films. It's not Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and a few people, which is what I think most people want in a film. Did you find it different working with British actors as opposed to working with an American ensemble? Yes. I never saw an agent. Nobody ever came and argued about how big somebody's trailer was. They all got paid the same. They all had a great time doing it. It was the best experience of my life. An actor like Alan Bates, who worked ten weeks on the film, was there an average of four and a half days a week for the first six weeks. He was standing way in the background in every shot. I don't think he had a scene. It was the same with Derek Jacobi, who played a really small part. He was there for all that time. That kind of thing couldn't happen in America. Was it more fun working "upstairs" or "downstairs"? I enjoyed both equally. They divided themselves into two groups and kept themselves kind of automatically separated. It was a lot of fun. Could you describe the process you use with actors as you work on their performances? Well, I don't have much to do with the actor's performance. When I cast a film, most of my creative work is done. I have to be there to turn the switch on and give them encouragement as a father figure, but they do all the work. If an actor comes to me and asks, "What exactly should I do when I come in that door?" I'll say, "Have you thought about wearing cowboy boots instead of those slippers?" I'll say anything except answer their question directly, because the minute I've narrowed the 360-degree possibility down, they're not creating things themselves, and I'm doing the work.
I want to see them do the work. All I'm trying to do is make it easy on the actor, because once you start to shoot, the actor is the artist. I don't say, "Here's the way I want it done," because I want to see something I've never seen before. How can I say what that is? I've got to let them know that if they stretch and they do something that's bad, I'm not even going to show it in dailies. The actors in Gosford Park all took care of themselves. As a director, I have to give them confidence and see that they have a certain amount of protection so they can be creative. The actors know that even though they don't get paid well, they trust that I'll let them do the creative work. I let them do what they became actors for in the first place: to create. And I not only let them do it, I insist that they do it. That's what I do in setting the thing up, and they do the rest.
Actors tend to police themselves. The more of them there are, the easier it is to manage. If there are six actors, one of them isn't going to come in and misbehave, because the other five are going to beat him up. I work hard to try and create a family atmosphere. The first thing I do is get a place to see the dailies. I encourage everyone to watch them. You find that the actors start rooting for each other when they find out they're not in competition. Did you have any rehearsal time on Gosford Park? I never had a full quorum together, but I would meet with the actors and offer all this research and the technical advisors we had available, and encourage them to do as much work as they wanted to. Where did the idea for the film come from? Bob Balaban has been a friend of mine for many years. He's sort of a Renaissance man. He's an actor, a director, a producer. He does everything, and he and I were talking one day. He said, "I wish we could do something together. Could my company develop something for you?" And I said, "Well, I've never done a whodunit." I'm not very original. I mean, I'll take a genre that's comfortable and then go in and just kind of tilt it a little bit. Bob said, "What do you mean?" I said, "You know, the big house and all the people coming to shoot pheasants, and there's a murder and the like." We started describing the film as Ten Little Indians meets Rules of the Game, and then got Julian Fellowes to write a script. The next thing I know we're shooting it. I'm curious about the process in the larger scenes when there's so much action in both the foreground and the background. Are you using two cameras? I used two cameras almost all the time except when the room was so small we couldn't get two cameras in. I arbitrarily had them moving, with no particular purpose. That wasn't new. I lifted it from myself, from The Long Goodbye where the camera was always moving without purpose. I did it in Gosford Park because these wonderful English period films like Brideshead Revisited or the Merchant-Ivory films are so formal and their speech is all so precise.
I thought, "You know, I don't really believe that's the way people really behaved." I just wanted to make it sloppy. I didn't want to have nice formal two-shots and singles and that sort of thing, so we just kept the camera moving. The standard thing with a film like this is a guy sitting watching television who gets up to go open a beer, and then comes back and he says, "Did she kill him yet?" He knows he'll be shown the important stuff in close-up three times. But I wanted to put the audience on notice, right off the bat, that they have to pay attention or they're going to miss something. Some of the punch-lines are done on the backs of people when they're leaving the room, like Maggie Smith when she says, "I haven't got a snobbish bone in my body." The more people I had in the scene, the easier it was for me to orchestrate, because all those actors could take care of themselves. We'd say, "Everybody just get in the room and go where you think you would be," and they'd just start moving. The more of that kind of thing I had to do, the more of it was done for me by the actors and the easier it was.
We have created this film in a way that if you like it, you really have to go back and see it again and you'll see a different film. Once you know all of the mandatory things about who did it or who didn't do it, it becomes not so much a whodunit as a why-didn't-they-do-it-earlier. Or who-cares-who-did-it. I just really wanted the audience to have to turn their necks and work rather than serving it all up for you. Is the overlapping dialogue also something you leave to the actors? If you've got fourteen people at a dinner table, it seems to me it's pretty unlikely that only two of them are going to be talking. Can you talk a little bit about the casting process? For a film like this I had to have half the actors be people you recognize so you could tell them apart. If I had the finest talent in the world and you had never seen any of these people before, twenty minutes into the film you'd say, "I can't stay with this. Who's who?" Even now it's hard to keep the upstairs people really separate and know exactly what their relationships are. But it's not really that important. Hopefully you'll say, "Ah, there is a story going on between these people," and you kind of figure it out, much like if you go to a party. You spend four hours at a party with twenty people, sixteen of whom you've just met for the first time. Then you go home and say, "What did he really do?" "Which one?" "The tall guy smoking a cigar . . ." I know that's not the way to make a hit picture, but I say this truthfully: I'm not interested in making a hit picture. I'm interested in making the picture I made, and I hope people respond to it. I think I'd be late for work if I started doing one of these things that was all laid out for you.

Super minty! There is a cooling/tingling sensation that feels refreshing, but others may be put off by this. I like that it's moisturizing and that it smells so strong of mint, which is always good if you're up close to someone. It's a little pricey for a tube of chapstick, but I always seem to have one on hand. I have tried BB's other lipbalm varieties, and this one is still my favorite.

I've been using this product for more than six years and I love it. It leaves a really nice tingling and cooling sensation on your lips which I haven't been able to find another product on the market that does the same thing. But one thing is I found that it hasn't been as moisturizing as before. They may have changed the formulation over the years or something, which is a bummer. Would still repurchase though, because I love how it feels on the lips.

This chapstick is 4.99 at walgreens but its totally worth the price. I love that its not waxy. I been looking for the perfect balm to use under my retro matte mac lipsticks to give it a smooth appearance after wiping off excess product to apply my lipstick. And boy oh boy i found it. I get that smooth velvet look now. I love this balm. I love the peppermint in it too. Very minty. This is the perfect balm. I hope they never discontinue. If they do i hope its just to make it even better.

This must be an individual thing - so many people love this lip balm, and I really wanted to, too! But to me it seemed so waxy and hard, I had to rub very hard to get any product on, and it didn't feel moisturizing, more like a barrier to keep moisture from escaping. I think this could be great for guys, who don't want their lips to look shiny after using it. It goes on matte.

This is the only product I ever put on my lips. The cooling methanol is super soothing and I find that the actual texture of the product isn't greasy or too shiny like some lip balms/sticks. I repurchase this every time I run out! Definitely the best thing to keep your lips hydrated and cool.

It gives my lips this cooling sensation feeling. nothing bad about it. I think it really helps at preventing my lips from peeling.

Love this lip balm! It's super moisturizing and great to put on at night before bed. The only thing is if you stop using it your lips get very dry.

I'm surprised at the negative reviews for this one, as this is one of my top 3 lip balms. For reference, the other two are Nuxe Reve de Miel, all time favourite, and Jurlique's Lip Care balm, which I probably rate below this one.
I love the menthol, and that it is thick but not gritty. It leaves moisture I can feel for hours, and has a lasting positive effect on dryness.
I tend to apply balm in the morning before I leave the house, before putting on lipstick when I get to work, and this is one of my go to balms. I gave a tube to a friend who suffers chronic dried lips and he really liked it, too.

I might just got a bad stick - but this lip balm was incredibly dry and it was actually hard to put it on my lips as it was not creamy at all. I use other lip balms by Burt's Bees and never had I ever have this problem - I threw it out.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium Brown, Warm

Not a fan of this lip balm. It's more of a paste, hence it's name (Beeswax). If you have chapped lips, this balm will accentuate it - Exfoliate prior to applying it on to your lips. The smell and taste doesn't bother me, it's the fact that you have to keep on reapplying it. There are some lip balms that actually dry out your lips so that you have to continuously use them (EOS is notorious for this) and this is no exception. If you have sensitive skin this may sting/burn your lips. I wanted to like this product but it did nothing for me.

Massive billboards mock ANC, e-tollsComment on this story
Johannesburg - Three massive billboards mocking the ruling ANC and e-tolls have been anonymously erected on Johannesburg highways, The New Age reported on Friday.
The billboards state: "E-tolls. Proudly brought to you by the ANC."
The structures are owned by outdoor media company vanTill Outdoor, but it would not divulge who the client is, saying a confidentiality agreement had been signed.
ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu told the newspaper: "I can tell you it is definitely not us that is behind the billboards. The ANC would have branded it with the logo and ANC colours if it was us."
The billboards have been erected on the N3 and N1 highways. - Sapa

Nice! This music is so immersive and eerily ambient.
The L.U.R.K. team wants to provide the best possible experience from Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, we don't plan to skew the scope of this game, because I, like many others, fell in love with the game because of the story, the realistic gameplay, and the atmosphere. I plan to preserve and improve on that concept to the best of my abilities, and our team has vowed to do so as well. Which is why we took it upon ourselves to provide that experience. We want to fulfill a niche that's otherwise unfulfilled in the modding community. We want to bring as many features to Stalker without damaging or changing the original theme of the game. While improving upon that concept with features that were dropped off the development cycle from GSC, such as stealth AI, and a strong foundation for balance, as well as dynamic A-Life, and an unprecedented visual presentation that no other Stalker Overhaul can touch.
A sneak peek of the music behind the atmosphere by Yannick Zenhausern by L.U.R.K. 1.2.
Posted by Panzerdraco on Jun 30th, 2013
Yannick Zenhausern, Team L.U.R.K.'s lead composer, put together this one-minute taste of things to come. You can expect the music to match the mood in every map, with every level given a distinctive theme for both day and night.
Nice! This music is so immersive and eerily ambient.
In my opinion it's too dramatic/progressive (fast changes) and a bit too loud to be ambient. Ambient music should blend in with the background perfectly to make the game more immersive. But good work.
You'll be able to adjust your volume to-taste in the options menu, as always, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Also, this is a teaser meant to showcase the music, so it'd be a little silly to have it at low volume.
Thanks for the feedback.
It needs noise elements or at the very least some fuzz on the synths.
well it sounds ok.. i mean i can't complain too much.. it is a bit progressive as crowhitewolf says.. but still a pretty good job :) it is going to be an awesome mod, that's for sure
This is a cut of four songs in 50 seconds, that`s why it appears to be to progressive. All the single tracks themselves are much longer, have more quiet parts and faster parts.
The loudness won`t be a problem as well, because it`s going to be volume controlled.
Sounds awesome! looking forward to trekking through the garbage with this playing
wow that was quite scary! :D
Eerie... sounds a bit like the music of Silent Hill, Metro 2033, Resident Evil, and even slightly like... Goldeneye 64?
The ambient sounds in LURK 1.1 was one of my favorite things about the mod... if there was only one thing I could ask out of v1.2, it would be to have more chilling, ghostly, unnatural noises that creep out. Just to be walking and to hear leaves crunching nearby, a branch breaking. Gunshots and screams in the distance. Deep moans. Wandering a building and hearing crying, or laughter, or stumbling footsteps.
The Zone is disturbing not only for its mutations, but for its haunted history, a deranged history of survival, loneliness, and fear. It would be a beautiful thing to capture these fragmented themes in a soundtrack for the game... :)
Awesome, can't wait to hear the full versions.
fokin scary m8
I loved the music in the original 1.05 for the Cordon area, so I'm glad this aspect is getting a return. It's a perfect touch for a common ongoing firefight to break the desolate ambient atmosphere and keep you on edge wondering what is coming next.

Deregulated Natural Gas Market Overview
At a high level, deregulated natural gas markets are composed of three entities working together to bring customers choices and options for natural gas service.
Natural Gas Supplier
Retail suppliers provide the actual natural gas commodity. The cost of this energy represents approximately 75 percent of your overall costs and is largely determined by a wholesale market that trends higher or lower based on supply and demand, weather or other related factors. The most visible wholesale market for natural gas futures is the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).
Natural gas travels from the well to the utility's service territory through major interstate gas pipelines that run throughout the country. Charges associated with transporting natural gas typically account for 10 percent of your overall charges.
Once natural gas is transported from the well, it is delivered to the end-use customer through the utility's distribution network. Distribution charges account for approximately 15 percent of your overall natural gas costs and are consistent, regardless of your supplier.

Universal queue
Universal queue or UQ is a relatively advanced concept in contact center design whereby multiple communications channels (such as telephone, fax and email) are integrated into a single 'universal queue' to standardize processing and handling.
The immediate benefits of UQ include standardised routing, recording, handling, reporting, and management of all communications in a contact center (or across an entire organisation).
The immediate benefits may in turn result in others, such as increased sales, reduced overheads, cost savings and an improvement in relationships with customers and suppliers.
Although UQ was discussed at least as far back as 2004, the difficulties in implementing such a system seem to have prevented its widespread uptake. As of 2008, there is little data available online regarding existing UQ implementations.

In contrast to a gutter slut... high heels, miniskirt, smeared makeup, and a martini glass. A ditch slut would have jeans, tshirt, no teeth, beer can, and be barefoot.

2000 Nissan Altima • 100,000 miles
I have a 2000 Altima 2.4. The cars starts and idles nicely in park or neutral. But when shifted into drive its does a hard stall. It will restart but cant get it into drive without a hardstall. The car was in water and some things got wet, like the air filter. I gave it a tune up and replaced the fuel filters and air filter. But the car will not run when placed in gear and it doesnt matter weather its drive or reverse.

The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation
Reviewed by
The Wonder Years
The Greatest Generation
Record Label: Hopeless Records
Release Date: May 14th 2013
For the last few hours, I�ve been sitting in front of my computer with a blank screen, not exactly sure how to start off this review of the new record,
The Greatest Generation
, by pop-punk band The Wonder Years. A part of me is slightly afraid to review this, because it�s such a �huge� record, words can�t even begin to describe it. If I had to say one thing about it, it would be that this is a record you, the person or group of people reading this, need to listen to for yourself. It�s truly that great, and this is coming from a guy who�s never been a huge fan of the band. Don�t get me wrong, I�ve always enjoyed them, ever since 2010�s
The Upsides
was released, but they never really gripped me in. They were a pop-punk band that�s always kind of been rather generic to me. The Upsides was a record that certainly is enjoyable, but aside from Dan �Soupy� Campbell�s lyrics about not being sad anymore, the record itself really just fell to the wayside for me. 2011�s Suburbia I�ve Given You All and Now I�m Nothing marked a nice progression for the band, but overall, it still didn�t sway me to become a full fledged fan. Nevertheless, I was quite excited for
The Greatest Generation
, because that title alone is a very bold claim to make. The same can be said for Fall Out Boy�s new album
Save Rock and Roll
; that record�s title was very bold, and rather interesting, because after being gone for five years, could they really live up to that claim? When the record was released, the answer was a mix between yes, and no. I digress, though, because my point is that The Wonder Years are making a very shocking claim by saying their generation is the greatest. It is worth noting that these three records are part of a trilogy, so to speak, and
The Greatest Generation
being the last record in said trilogy. In all honesty, while the fact that it�s a trilogy, it makes sense, but in the end, it�s the overall record itself that is most important. While their last couple records didn�t do very much for me, this is the one that really makes me stop and look at this band. As I write this, it�s been a little over a week since the record�s been released, and they managed to sell almost 20,000 copies in its first week, with myself being one of the people who bought a copy. That�s a big deal for a band like The Wonder Years, and that�s all the more reason to pay attention to them. Another reason why this record is so great to me is just the fact that it�s more than a pop-punk record; there are hints of alternative rock, acoustic, and indie rock. There are a couple of straightforward pop-punk tracks, but most of them are actually very unique and interesting. Of course, what really steals the show here are Soupy�s lyrics. His lyrics have always been great, but his lyrics and his voice have very much improved over the last couple records. Being in a pop-punk band means that having a vocal range is rather nonexistent, but here on this album, his voice gets to roam free, and he actually uses it very well. His lyrics have also improved, and they�re still as hard hitting as they�ve always been. Even despite that, I never quite got into The Wonder Years as other people have. It�s understandable why they�re so popular in the pop-punk genre, but I just never could get into them. So, the real questions of this review are whether or not the band succeed in making their claim of them being in the greatest generation, and whether or not this record is the one that manages to make me a bigger fan of the band than I was prior to listening to it.
The record begins with �There, There,� and it�s a two and a half minute song that�s rather slow. It serves as an intro, if anything. It immediately begins with a slow guitar riff as Dan �Soupy� Campell sings, �You're just trying to read but I'm always standing in your light. / You're just trying to sleep but I always wake you up to apologize.� Campbell�s lyrics have never been stronger, right from the get-go. The somberness of this track makes the opening that much better, frankly. It�s a rather underwhelming track, because it�s so quiet and somber. It�s something that we, the listeners, have not seen very much from this band, so it�s a nice change. That song leads into second track, and first single, �Passing Through a Screen Door,� which crashed down the website Absolutepunk.net�s servers when it first premiered. When I first heard this song, it sounded like average Wonder Years so, but didn�t do much for me, and not that I have heard the album in full, I still feel the same way about it, honestly. It might be that this record clocks in at 48 minutes, so there�s a LOT on this record, but this is one song that just doesn�t do much for me. And if anything, this is one of the only straightforward pop-punk songs on the record. Most of the songs follow an alternative, or indie-rock sound, including third track �We Could Die Like This.� It�s a rather short song, but it�s one-two punch when combined with following track �Dismantling Summer.� This is one of my favorites on the record. It�s a great track, and it also shows that The Wonder Years are more than just a pop-punk band at this point in their career. That�s a point I�ll be making throughout the whole review, because that�s what I love about this record.
There are a couple songs that do pay homage, if you will, to their earlier work, such as fifth track, �The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves.� This track, along with �Passing Through a Screen Door,� are two tracks that definitely sound like they would fit in a prior TWY record. That�s not a bad thing, however. The fact these are a bit more straightforward pop-punk mean that they do know where they came from, and are acknowledging that, as well as keeping some variety on the record. Following track, �The Devil In My Bloodstream� definitely shows off this variety. The first half of the song is another somber affair, but it sets up the song nicely, and the song suddenly explodes into an indie/alternative/pop-punk masterpiece. Ninth track �An American Religion (FSF)� is the complete opposite, as it�s a very energetic and straightforward pop-punk track that�s the shortest track on the record, actually. Following that, tenth track �A Raindance In Traffic� has one of my favorite lyrics on the record, which go, �It feels like 1929 and I'm on the verge of a great collapse today.� I don�t know what it is about that lyric, but wow, it�s absolutely fantastic. Speaking of great lyrics, eleventh track �Madelyn� is full of cutesy little lyrics for a girl named Madelyn, obviously. This song reminds me of the song, �Hey Thanks� on The Upsides, just for how optimistic it is, and how sweet it is. This is a rather slow track that show�s Soupy at his most vulnerable, and it works on every level. Finally, after the energetic �Cul-de-Sac,� the final track �I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral� is one of my favorite tracks, if not my favorite track on the record. It�s a seven-minute �epic,� for the last of a better word. It�s split into two songs, actually; the first is a pretty standard TWY song, but it�s still absolutely fantastic. In the middle of the song, Soupy makes a ton of allusions of other songs on the record, including the album�s opener, �There, There,� which is great, because it brings the entire record full circle. This is easily the best song on the record, and it�s the best song The Wonder Years have ever written, in all honesty.
The Wonder Years is a rare example of a pop-punk that are more than just a pop-punk band, and it shows if they can create a record that sells almost 20k copies in its first week, and opens at number 20 on the Billboard charts. That�s a feat that most bands in the genre would kill to achieve, but this is just an indicator that The Wonder Years are not going anywhere. In the beginning of the review, I talked about whether or not The Wonder Years succeed in their claim of being the greatest generation, as the album title suggests. In all honesty, I think that they succeeded wonderfully. While this is certainly one of my favorite records of the year, this is easily the pop-punk record of the year. And not to mention, this is the record that�s finally made me a full fledged fan of The Wonder Years.

Invariably I get asked about doors. People are particularly interested in revolving doors and elevator doors. My guess is their questions and their lack of confidence stem from the old adage that men hold the door for women, and women should go through the door first. But weve also learned that todays world in general, and the business world specifically, have changed. So does the old adage still stand: men should hold the door for women?
Interestingly, in business when two colleagues arrive at a revolving door, the solution is simple. Whoever arrives at the door first should step forward and get it moving. Communicate. Please, go ahead. Or Let me get that for you. Who goes first doesnt matter nearly as much as communicating ahead so there is no confusion. The awkward play: hesitate and then step forward and end up stuffing both of you into the same section of the revolving door. That is a faux pas leading to a pas de deux shuffle, and neither of you cant get to the exit fast enough.
If Im out socially, then the situation changes slightly. The key again turns on communication so you again dont end up crammed into the same section of the revolving door. If its a door that is already moving, Ill step aside and indicate for my female companion to go first. I might even add a Please, go ahead just so there wont be any confusion. If, on the other hand, the door isnt moving, I will offer to go first. Here, let me get that for you. Then, as I exit, I wait to offer my arm as she steps out next to me.
Elevators also seem to cause confusion, especially whether a man should step aside and wait for a woman to exit. Whether Im in a business situation or out socially, regardless of the gender of the person I am with, as the doors open, I glance at the person and gesture for them to go first. Ill add a verbal cue as well: Please go ahead. That simple communication saves a lot of confusion and awkwardness.
It gets a little trickier when youre in an elevator that has several people in it. In this case, it simply doesnt make sense for a man to try to step aside in a crowded elevator car so a woman can exit first. The person closest to the door should just step through the door and then hold the door so the people exiting dont have it shut on them. If Im following people exiting an elevator, Ill smile, nod and say thank you to the person holding the door for me. If no one in front of me has made an effort to hold the door, Ill try to reach out to hold it so it doesnt start closing on anyone exiting behind me.

Physician alignment has been a driving business imperative for a while now for many hospitals and health systems, but despite the fact that ACOs and value-based purchasing rules enacted by CMS are aimed at connecting the gaps in coordinated care, only 57% of our respondents think that the law will more closely align them with their physicians.
Additionally, there's not a lot of faith that the act or the changes it has loosed on the healthcare market will help increase administrative efficiency. In fact, executives predict the opposite. Only 37% believe it will increase efficiency, while 50% believe efficiency will decrease under the law. However, contrast that opinion with clinical efficiency and the attitude undergoes a 180-degree turn. Some 52% believe clinical efficiency will increase, while 37% believe it will decrease.
ICD-10, a new coding system that more precisely identifies diseases and conditions for patients, presents the most serious problem associated with the act, according to the survey. Some 67% believe ICD-10 implementation will be difficult or very difficult to implement, while only 23% feel the same way about IRS Form 990, for example, and only 44% say the same thing about value-based purchasing standards. The challenge of dealing with the overall effects of PPACA will be difficult or very difficult for 66% of the leaders who answered the survey.
Manning says integration isn't the problem, but that hospitals and health systems need to look at ways to continue to subsidize money-losing but essential services that improve and maintain patient experience and management.
"There are some parts in fully integrated systems that are perennial money-losers if you look at them in isolation," Manning says. "The possibility of getting out of those services completely is a little tough if you're really about value of care, because you need robust mental health services, for example, even at the primary care sites, to have a good patient experience and manage the patient correctly. I could see outsourcing in some cases, but not eliminating."

The Revolt
> Ohio: Voters In Two More Cities Poised To Ban Traffic Cameras
Ohio: Voters In Two More Cities Poised To Ban Traffic Cameras
A pair of Ohio cities bring the total number voting on traffic camera bans in November to five.
A pair of Cuyahoga County, Ohio cities are likely to have a public vote on banning red light cameras and speed cameras in November. A sufficient number of residents in Garfield Heights and South Euclid signed a referendum petition that organizers expect to turn in this week, as early as today. Once approved, these municipalities will join
Anaheim, California
, Texas; and Mukilteo, Washington in voting on the future of cameras on November 2.
Cuyahoga County for Liberty
(CC4L) coordinated the signature gathering effort in conjunction with the
Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes
(COAST) which successfully built a coalition to defeat Cincinnati's red light cameras in 2008. CC4L Chairman Grant McCallum explained the reason his group decided to fight the cameras in South Euclid.
"It's clearly an overreach of government, as far as I'm concerned," McCallum told TheNewspaper. "It's a way for local governments to extract money from their citizens. It has nothing to do with safety."
City leaders hope to deploy speed cameras and mount cameras on school buses to issue expensive citations. McCallum says he has more than 500 signatures in hand -- double the 251 required to force the vote. His most successful tactic has been to direct traffic into a drive-thru petition signing area in parking lots that allow supporters to quickly and conveniently register. McCallum says the support has been tremendous.
"Everyone sees this as just a money-grab -- a scam," McCallum said. "Some people are concerned about Big Brother and electronic surveillance, but the majority of people understand it's just another way for the city to make money.... The support is across all the political spectrum."
Garfield Heights has also lined up more than enough signatures. So far, 2300 have said that they want a vote to end cameras, even though only 875 signatures are needed. Once on the ballot, Ohio voters have always approved bans on cameras. Last November
Chillicothe and Heath
voted to ban them -- with 72 percent of voters in the latter city rejecting automated ticketing. In 2008, residents in
Cincinnati, Ohio
rejected red light cameras. Seventy-six percent of
Steubenville, Ohio
voters rejected photo radar in 2006.
Elsewhere, 61 percent of
Sykesville, Maryland
voters overturned a speed camera ordinance earlier this year. In 2009, eighty-six percent of

Canadian Dollar Grinds Higher as Investors Pursue Yield
TORONTO--The Canadian dollar ended higher Thursday after grinding higher in the European session as investors pursued higher-yielding currencies and then steadying in North America.
The U.S. dollar is at C$1.0081 Thursday from C$1.0102 late Wednesday, according to data provider CQG.
There's an underlying offshore bid for Canadian dollar assets because of their relatively high yields in a world where some fixed-income assets are yielding a negative return, said Dean Popplewell, chief currency analyst at online trading platform Oanda.
The Canadian dollar benefits against its U.S. counterpart because of fears that another round of quantitative easing would result in an effective devaluation of the U.S. dollar," he said.
"When you put those together...Canada looks good in North American terms and on the crosses," Mr. Popplewell said.
The Canadian dollar's tight trading range against the greenback reduces the perceived risk of betting on the currency, he added.
Markets remain worried about the sovereign debt crisis, which can be positive for the Canadian dollar, especially in cross trading against the euro, Mr. Popplewell said.
"The loonie tends to get dragged higher when we see any sort of euro negativity," he said.
The euro's decline to historic lows against the Canadian dollar has generated interest in playing the euro/Canadian dollar cross, Mr. Popplewell said. "When the euro seems to have a short-term, definitive direction, we've got a lot of individuals who are willing to look at euro/CAD," he said.
There's good U.S. dollar support around the parity level, but the greenback could break through that and goes as low as C$0.9800, he said.
The Canadian dollar's fair value is closer to a U.S. dollar level of C$1.0500, Mr. Popplewell said.
In Canadian data, wholesale trade surged 0.9% in May, more than four times the gains expected by economists.
In contrast, there was a "slew" of bad data in the U.S., Mr. Jean said.
Home sales in the U.S. took a downward turn, a Fed index of manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia area showed it contracting for the third straight month, and jobless claims jumped.
On Friday, consumer price index data for June will be released.

Mandy came to NTCR pregnant and gave birth in the shelter shortly after she arrived. She was a patient, loving and nurturing mother who has since watched all of her babies leave for their "furever" homes. Mandy has been waiting her who life for a special family to scoop her up and whisk her off to a fantastic new home of her own. When she first arrived she was scared and not sure of people. Now she loves to be petted, she tries to catch your hand when you withdraw it after petting her. She doesn't want it to ever stop!! A beautiful tuxedo, she has a sweet, gentle nature who watches everything that goes on with such an adorable expression. If you want to be the family to show her what it feels like to have the "furever" home she has been dreaming about. Please fill out an adoption application and contact us.
For ten years, North Toronto Cat Rescue has been helping hundreds of souls in need wherever we find them, offering love, nourishment, safety, medical care and the hope of a "forever" home.
We are not a spay/neuter and release group as we believe all these animals deserve comfot, warmth and love, particularly during the long cold winter days here in Canada. They will remain with us until they find a permanent home.
We attend local Fairs, Events such as "All About Pets" Show in Toronto, for example, and other fund-raising events during the year in the Toronto area.
