Transcript of the live chat session that took place Thursday, August 8, 1996.
These sessions are scheduled for noon-1 PM US Eastern Time (GMT -4) every Thursday.
These sessions are hosted by Richard Seltzer. If you would like to receive email reminders of our chat sessions, simply send a blank email message to email@example.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/businessonthewebchats and sign up there.

For an article on how to make "business chat" work (based on this experience), click here.
Since the chat itself happens at a rapid pace, it's often difficult to note interesting facts in particular URLs as they appear on-line. Here's a place to take a more leisurely look. I've rearranged some of the pieces to try to capture the various threads of discussion (which sometimes get lost in the rush of live chat).
Please send email with your follow-on questions and comments, and suggions for topics we should focus on in future sessions. So long as the volume of email responses is manageable, I'll post the most pertinent ones here for all to see.
Threads (reconstructed after the fact):
I work for the Internet Business Group at DigitalEquipment in Littleton, MA. In that capacity, I end up talking to people from large companies about how they can use the Web for business. I also have my own personal Web page -- which is content rich and no frills -- which I do for practically nothing and draws a fair amount of traffic and attention. And I'm also a member of the Boston Computer Society.
In a chat session like this things can get pretty frantic. It's sometimes difficult to follow the threads of conversation. And there's no time to write down interesting URLs and facts. So last week, I took a copy of the raw transcript and edited it to make the threads clearer and posted it at my own little Web site so anyone could take a look. You can see it at http://www.samizdat.com/chat4.html I plan to do the same today. Barring technical difficulties, I hope to have a transcript up within two hours of when this ends. I'll post it at the same site, naming this one /chat5.html
Today we're going to focus on Intranets -- the use of Internet technology inside companies and for secure commerce between companies. You might also want to check a couple of on-going Forums on this subject. Intranet Soundings Forum at: http://www.brill.com/intranet/ijx/ Intranet Exchange at: http://www.innergy.com/ix/index.html.
To get the conversation going in useful directions, it's best if people step forward and identify themselves and their interests.
snackwell (126.96.36.199) - 11:54am -- Hi Richard - Jeremy Sacco from BCS here.
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 11:55am -- Hello, Jeremy. I understand that there's a connection from MacWorld in the BCS area. Is that where you are?
snackwell (188.8.131.52) - 11:56am -- No, I'm at the BCS Office in Waltham. I understand things were pretty lively last week?
Richard Seltzer (22.214.171.124) - 11:59am -- Snackwell, yes, things got very lively last week, especially in the last 10 minutes. This is an interesting medium. Often people lurk in the background, just listenting in, and then they suddenly realize that time isrunning out and they scramble to ask questions in the last few minutes.
Alan Kotok (184.108.40.206) - 11:57am -- Good afternoon! I am a strategist for Digital's Internet Software Business Unit. I have been promoting the Internet and the Web for several years here at Digital.
Richard Seltzer (184.108.40.206) - 11:57am -- Welcome, Alan. Good to hear from you again.
Nora (18.104.22.168) - 11:58am -- Hi. I'm here for the chat too. I'm a site developer and a member of BCS. Hi Alan, as a former DEC person and strategist there, I'm sure your work is both challenging and interesting.
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 12:00pm -- Welcome, Nora, what sites have you developed? Do you do it inside a company or as a consultant to a variety of clients? And just for the public Internet or for intranets as well?
Nora (22.214.171.124) - 12:03pm -- Richard, I've worked primarilly on commercial internet sites although my main interest is in doing intranets for logistics applications in manufacturing. ... and I work freelance.
Tom D (126.96.36.199) - 12:00pm -- Hi, My name is Tom Dadakis. I'm an Internet Consultant in CT just outside NYC. I am presently designing an Intranet for a corp. client.
Richard Seltzer (184.108.40.206) - 12:01pm -- Tom, what are the main concerns/requirements for this intranet you are designing?
Tom D (220.127.116.11) - 12:03pm -- Mainly communication and as an information resource. In the future they may go to document sharing but they are nowhere near ready for that yet
Richard Seltzer (18.104.22.168) - 12:05pm -- Tom -- By communication, do you mean mainly email and static Web pages?
Tom D (22.214.171.124) - 12:06pm -- yes email and HR info. they are just beginning.
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 12:08pm -- Tom -- Any directory services? One of the heaviest-used intranet applications at Digital is the "employee location file."
Tom D (220.127.116.11) - 12:10pm -- We will be doing that in the future with a search engine
Robert (22.214.171.124) - 12:02pm -- Hello Richard, I'm curious if any of the MACWorld folks have any "Intranet" comments or uses they want to share?
Richard Seltzer (22.214.171.124) - 12:02pm Robert -- Are you at MacWorld? We'd certainly welcome comments/participation from there.
Ian (188.8.131.52) - 12:01pm -- Hi Richard - Ian here - Digital Internet Business Group - Interests - MANY
Gordon (220.127.116.11) - 12:03pm -- Hello! Gordon Benett of Innergy Inc. here. I'm Editor-in-Chief of Intranet Design Magazine(sm), a resource for web practitioners at http://www.innergy.com/ We created the discussions forums Richard mentioned earlier. Glad to be here.
Richard Seltzer (126.96.36.199) - 12:04pm -- Welcome, Gordon -- what do you think are the main issues/ concerns of companies designing intranets today? And what are the main benefits that companies with active intranets have found?
Stranger (220.127.116.11) - 12:34pm -- HI everybody
Richard Seltzer (18.104.22.168) - 12:37pm -- Welcome, Stranger, today we're focusing on intranets (internal implementations of Internet technology -- what companies do inside as opposed to their public Web sites). What's your area of interest?
Kirsten A. (18.104.22.168) - 12:35pm -- Richard, what's the business news out of MacWorld this week?
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 12:38pm -- Kirsten -- I'm not at MacWorld myself, though I gather that a number of today's participants are. (Actually, I'm "on vacation" at the Cape right now). Would those at MacWorld please fill us in on what's happening there?
rubidge (184.108.40.206) - 12:39pm -- hi. just joining in from toronto!
Richard Seltzer (18.104.22.168) - 12:41pm -- Hello Rubridge in Toronto -- please tell us something about your company and your interests (especially with regard to intranets).
Scott C. (188.8.131.52) - 12:45pm -- Hello all - just joining in.
snackwell (188.8.131.52) - 12:02pm -- EDI? I'm just not familiar with the abbrieviation.
Nora (22.214.171.124) - 12:06pm -- EDI = Electronic Data Interchange = used to standardize all the transactions used in shipping intermediate and finished product. and transmit them concurrent with the associated activities.
Gordon (22.214.171.124) - 12:09pm -- Response to Nora re EDI: I'm following the new releases by Premenos and Harbinger closely. I think you're tapped into to something big -- *intranet* commerce. The seamlessness between inner and outer webs, once secured, will enliven communications between companies and vendors, customers, prospects.
Alan Kotok (220.127.116.11) - 12:10pm -- Nora: Not that I'm and EDI expert, but it seems to me that EDI over the "Internet" is a great way to reduce costs from dedicated value-added-networks. I suppose some security aspects need solving. But the rigidness of EDI seems a bit antithetical to the Web.
Nora (220.127.116.11) - 12:16pm -- Alan and Gordon. ... you guys are soooo right! ... and taking it all one step further, there are many more possibilities of being much more 'customer responsive' if not truly 'customer driven.' .... and yes, having run some lengthy 'shirt sleeve' sessions negotiating EDI standards, it is rigid. ... or at least it was.
Alan Kotok (188.8.131.52) - 12:20pm -- Nora: Regarding "Intranet commerce", my thinking goes to using the Web to "purchase" office supplies, or research reports, or the like. There are service groups within companies who could offer their wares to their internal audience, and use some of the payment methods to recover their costs. (Of course, I have an ulterior motive: to promote Millicent, our low-overhead micropayment system.)
Gordon (184.108.40.206) - 12:24pm Nora/Alan: I think retail merchandising on the Web is further along than EDI. The security standards are more mature. SET, the Secure Electronic Transaction standard being pioneered by Visa, Mastercard and others, is pretty much unopposed. More is at stake with EDI, imo. - sactional parts of the whole sourcing, bulding, shipping and servicing sequence, and using intranets to tie together the holes that have previously existed because of systems, or platforms, that don't talk to each other. This takes costs and time out of the processing chain.
Alan Kotok (22.214.171.124) - 12:26pm -- Gordon: I certainly agree. The question in my mind is whether EDI will survive, or will company-to-company commerce become more free-form.
Nora (188.8.131.52) - 12:32pm -- Alan, I think company-to-company commerce will, in many ways, become more freeform. It'll split out into different categories. Making product info, specs prices etc. available to collabrative groups will be more common, .... (sort of like the "private showrooms" someone was talking about). .... but portions of it will stay pretty standardized - like if you're shipping stuff that has to file hazmat papers.
Gordon (188.8.131.52) - 12:33pm -- Alan, EDI will evolve, but its rigidity is there by design and won't be bred out. Companies are looking for faster, more reliable transactions, but not, I think, "free-form" ones. Is Millicent targeting Purchasing dept's?
Alan Kotok (220.127.116.11) - 12:37pm -- Gordon: Millicent is primarily targetting public sale of small amounts of information, such as newspaper articles. But given that it has ways ofhandling budgetary expenditures, it could be used, for instance, to pay forprinting services within an organization.
Tom Mfg. Mgr. SFO (126.96.36.199) - 12:35pm -- I think most internal postings (ticketing) will be done with web-based front ends as soon as the SW is ready.
Tom Mfg. Mgr. SFO (126.96.36.199) - 12:39pm -- Has anyone tried real transaction processing yet? Results? Pilots?
Richard Seltzer (18.104.22.168) - 12:40pm -- Tom -- Contact Steve Painter at Digital email@example.com For a long time he was involved with our Electronic Connection, which is online sales to established large customers and distributors. They use the Internet as one of the means of connection to all their complex backend ordering/inventory/billing systems. Last I heard the Internet connection piece of that was accounting for over half a billion dollars of revenue per year.
Nora (18.104.22.168) - 12:38pm -- Tom, is your company using intranets for anything, and if so, for what? .... for that matter, for the DEC people out there, what is DEC using it for?
Tom Mfg. Mgr. SFO (22.214.171.124) - 12:45pm -- Nora - Our company uses Intranets for Sales Processsing, Order Fullfillment, standard comms stuff like electronic phone books, All kinds of internal reporting but NOT recording. Too much back pressure from the IS and Finance types to stay away from the financial systems.
Alan Kotok (220.127.116.11) - 12:43pm -- Tom Mfg Mgr: There is a press release out in the last day or so about Digital and some other firm announcing a secure TP environment over the Internet. At the risk of violating some principle, here's the beginning of that release... " Digital - Digital, BEA team up to 'jolt' electronic mcommerce {Livewire, Worldwide News, 6-Aug-96} Digital today said it is strengthening its support for Internet-based electronic commerce by adding BEA Jolt from BEA Systems Inc., to its portfolio of Internet products and services. BEA Jolt enables customers to take advantage of the benefits of a BEA TUXEDO-based application over the "super-distributed" world of the Internet. These benefits include: guaranteed delivery; time, location, and data independence; data-dependent routing; massive scalability; platform independence and legacy integration; load balancing; intelligent fail-overand recovery; and a single development API."
Tom Mfg. Mgr. SFO (126.96.36.199) - 12:48pm -- Alan- Thanks I'll check out the BEA info. But now that you mention it, didn't Digital announce an Internet TP product a few weeks ago?
Alan Kotok (220.127.116.11) - 12:50pm -- Tom: I believe you are right, but I don't recall the details.
Nora (18.104.22.168) - 12:49pm -- " Too much back pressure from the IS and Finance types to stay away from the financial systems." That is an example of a barrier, but it also a legitimate concern, since it's an area where the auditing requirements are much stiffer. It always seems easier to start at the front end, e.g. sales, and order processing, when trying to implement something. ... I would also think working with suppliers would be effective as well.
Tom Mfg. Mgr. SFO (184.108.40.206) - 12:53pm -- Nora - We use EDI for suppliers and we use lots of WEB based customer/partner service apps. We can that Internets. Yes logging and journals and audits are the difficult issues.
Nora (188.8.131.52) - 12:55pm -- Tom, your company sounds like it's doing a lot. Maybe you guys should do a dog and pony show at Council of Logistics Management and get the others to wake up. [s]
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 12:56pm -- Nora -- What is the Council of Logistics Management? Do they have a URL?
Nora (18.104.22.168) - 12:58pm -- Richard, CLM is, or at least, used to be where all the hi tech companies went to discover cutting edge Information Systems, (and related business stuff). I imagine it's still an influential forum. am typing fast since I think everything might disappear. I'll do some searching and see if I can find a URL, and e-mail it to you.
anonymous (22.214.171.124) - 12:59pm -- Nora email me about it. I do presentations coast to coast. While the net is my business, my leads come from doing presentations
Nora (22.214.171.124) - 1:00pm -- anonymous, I don't think e-mailing something to anonymous will work
snackwell (184.108.40.206) - 12:05pm -- Alan: sounds good to me. what other RMV functions can you perform over the web?
Alan Kotok (184.108.40.206) - 12:07pm -- snackwell: RMV offers duplicate registrations, plans to offer renewals, has locations of offices, etc.
Ian (220.127.116.11) - 12:10pm -- Nora: Just looked at some new marketing data - Manufacturing is in the middle of the pack in terms of plans to implement internal web servers - behind Publishing and Finance organizations.
Nora (18.104.22.168) - 12:11pm -- Richard, I'm here hoping that I _will_ hear of manufacturing efforts in this area. A lot of the efforts at client server have failed to fill the information gaps for a variety of reasons. Since the interenet is 'platform independent' a lot of the past implementation problems go away. Furthermore, with the development of a lot of the data base and client tools that are coming on stream, the necessary functionality is emerging. .... So now, if we can be effective evangelists for the possibilities, there are many, many excellent applications of intranets for the manufacturing community. In short, much of the stuff Mike Hammer talked about, is now much more feasible.
Richard Seltzer (126.96.36.199) - 12:14pm -- Nora -- As evangelist, how would you like to see intranet applied in manufacturing companies? What do you believe the benefits would be? What are the barriers? (It seems like such a natural and has seemed so for a couple years -- what's the holdup?)
snackwell (18.104.22.168) - 12:10pm -- Ian: that's a common occurance - developers want to take the new technology to the max, but most users can't support it. Within a corporation, it may be more of a limitation.
Richard Seltzer (18.104.22.168) - 12:12pm -- Ian -- I'm also interested in that question. On the one hand, it seems like much of the communication on intranets can be handled with barebones solutions -- cheap boxes and shareware. It seems that you shouldn't need all the bells and whistles and fancy graphics that many companies invest in for their public Web sites. But on the other hand, the bandwidth on an intranet may well be far greater than with dial-up modems, and hence there should be interesting new opportunities for multi-media -- especially for inexpensive videoconferencing. Is anyone doing that now?
snackwell (22.214.171.124) - 12:14pm -- On-demand videoconferncing, from any desk in the company. It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if there's enough demand.
Richard Seltzer (126.96.36.199) - 12:17pm -- Snackwell -- I'd be interested in any cost/benefit analysis of intranet videoconferencing. My impression is that we use "traditional" videoconferencing rather often within Digital, and that it is very expensive. So how many desktops in a given facility would have to be ready for intranet videoconferencing for people to begin to use that as an alternative? And then once that capability is in place, how many more times would people choose to use that communications alternative instead oftravel/live meetings, and other methods?
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 12:22pm -- In many cases, companies face a bootstrap or chicken-and-egg problem. Lots can be done on the Web if enough employees are connected and familiar with its use. But only if enough employees are already connected willinvestments be made in Web-based applications. And only if those applications and content are available will there be incentive to make the investment in the infrastructure to get many employees properly connected.
Nora (184.108.40.206) - 12:25pm -- also on video conferencing. .... What about things like Microsofts NetMeeting. You aren't seeing each other, but you can share documents and whiteboards. ..... This could take care of a lot of the stuff we used togather in conference rooms for.
Ian (18.104.22.168) - 12:17pm -- Robert: As you might imagine, Digital is using the WEB internally and externally for training - we are just about to roll out a partner training program - firstname.lastname@example.com would be a good contact.
Richard Seltzer (184.108.40.206) - 12:19pm -- Robert -- Training-wise, I'm most interested in the interactive Web-based applications like chat and forums. I don't believe that many companies are making full use of that. (Most probably just distribute training materials by way of static Web pages.)
Robert (184.108.40.206) - 12:20pm -- Ian, Has anyone with Sheila proven that intranet training is cheaper or better than the current methods? Where's the payback come from? Thanks.
Richard Seltzer (188.8.131.52) - 12:25pm -- Robert-- I suspect that it's difficult to get apples-to-apples comparisons. Some companies that say they use the intranet for training are just providing static Web pages. Other may be using interactive applications.And still others (where are they?) may be using live audio and video. The results are likely to be very different. For real training/learning to take place, you need some degree of interactivity.
Marianne (18.104.22.168) - 12:21pm -- Robert, I know that Harper Collins was planning to include training delivery over their intranet. Also, sort of contrary to the popular notion that you can just put the information out in the intranet, and who cares what it looks like because it's just for employees...they were taking the time to jazz it up a little. Their view was that this medium had the potential to be the employees most frequent contact with "the company". And, they didn't want employees to feel like they were second class citizens.
Richard Seltzer (18.104.22.168) - 12:29pm -- Marianne -- You highlight an interesting dilemma. Low-cost plain text pages can be very effective in disseminating information over an intranet. High-cost fancy graphics might possible increase use of this information (or make employees feel more valued?) But what's the return-on-investment? Once you start with a high glitz internal image, it's hard to turn back; and by taking that approach you add tremendously to the cost or creating and updating pages -- and as a result, pages get updated less frequently, and their info value decreases. I must admit that,personally, I favorlow-tech, plain text; unless you are adding value through interactivity.
Marianne (220.127.116.11) - 12:26pm -- Robert, there's not a lot of statistics that I've seen about the value or payback from computer based training in general (and web is another means of delivery.) However, Phil Agre's Red Rock Eater Newsletter had a forwarded article just a few days ago with someone's anecdotal story about delivery of computer based training at the college level. You can use a search engine like altavista to find the archives (or post your email and I'll forward it to you; I saved it.) The bottom line was that it was as costly to deliver when everything was accounted for, but the *quality* of the experience and what people percieved they learned was much more.
Gordon (126.96.36.199) - 12:30pm -- Marianne: when cost analyses put "quality of experience" over dollars I tend to cover my wallet. Isn't that what happened with client/server?"Well, yes, it *is* more expensive than mainframes, but look how flexible / creative / productive / [insert your favorite intangible here ] it is."
Marianne (22.214.171.124) - 12:35pm -- Gordon, the note suggested that costs were equal to traditional methods (most people and companies have wanted to believe that CBT - computer based training- would be cheaper to deliver. The author's point was don't underestimate the cost and care and feeding it requires--but found it wasn't more expensive and was perceived as producing better results. I agree with the cover your wallet feeling if it turns out to be more expensive without real value back. This university had committed to a 2 year pilot--and a worn out guy was reporting the summary.
Richard Seltzer (126.96.36.199) - 12:35pm -- Marianne and Gordon -- regarding "quality of experience" -- if this is a training application there should be some way to pre-test and post-test and determine whether the intranet-based solution was more effective at accomplishing the goals of the training. Then you could determine if the cost is worth it.
Marianne (184.108.40.206) - 12:37pm -- Richard, I agree that there is a fine line between glitz/overkill and enhancing your experience. I also tend to be more on the basic content side, but I do appreciate some well designed graphics and easy to read formats. The ability to keep it maintained has to be a key concern.
Gordon (220.127.116.11) - 12:41pm -- Richard, you're right, one could take a metric-based approach. That's a form of "wallet-covering," in a sense. It's the allure of unjustified multimedia that makes me edgy. In general I like the philosophy of your Samizdat site -- HTML the way its architects designed it.
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 12:45pm -- Gordon -- Training-wise, I'd love to see pretests and post-tests and charging for training based on results rather than time in a classroom. I'd like to see use of RealAudio and Internet Phone for language training. I'dlike to see use of a QuickCam and CUSeeMe for fix-it hands-on product training. There's lots of good stuff that could be done that's interactive and unique. But for just plain transferring information, yes, I prefer plain text. Forget the graphics unless they say something. Make your pageseasy to update, and add to them as often as makes sense. Keep it simple. Keep it cheap. Don't lock yourself into a high-cost strategy before you know what the return is. It's always possible to upgrade to glitz once you have quantifiable results.
Nora (126.96.36.199) - 12:45pm -- Parts of the messages seem to be getting chopped off. I was trying to talk about the fact that the standards committees (WC3?) are moving past HTML and developing seperate standards for things like style sheets (allowing DTP like layout and font control capabilities) as well as transaction oriented standards (see Microsoft's Active X Controls).
Richard Seltzer (22.214.171.124) - 12:25pm -- Robert -- Amen. This is about the worst chat application I've ever encountered. Believe me, there's better stuff out there.
Robert (22.214.171.124) - 12:29pm -- What kind of things are better than this? Anything you can recommend? Who else is doing this type of intranet 'chat or forum' work? Best practices around?
Richard Seltzer (220.127.116.11) - 12:31pm -- Robert -- My favorite forum/chat software is Digital's AltaVista Forum. Version 2.0 includes chat as well as forum, and lots of other neat features (document sharing etc.) Check it at http://www.altavista.software.digital.com/
Tom D (188.8.131.52) - 12:29pm -- This chat function needs a threading component in order to follow the different discussions.
Richard Seltzer (188.8.131.52) - 12:31pm -- Tom -- Yes, it's very difficult to follow threads. I'll try to sort that out in an edited transcript which I'll post at http://www.samizdat.com/chat5.html a few hours after this is over.
Richard Seltzer (18.104.22.168) - 12:33pm -- Tom -- Also, keep in mind that chat and forum have interesting complementary features but no one yet has found a good automated way of bringing them together. Chat has immediacy -- bringing you all here at the same time, typing wildly and rapidly. And Forum has orderly threads. For now, the best that can be done is editing by hand to move dialog from a chat into a forum for calmer followup discussion.
rubidge (188.8.131.52) - 12:51pm -- i think a frames version of this site would be good so people could follow the chat but submit in a different field to avoid the scrolling.
Richard Seltzer (184.108.40.206) - 12:46pm -- Rubidge -- Is there a URL we can connect to to see the game you mentioned? What's your company and it's URL?
rubidge (18.104.22.168) - 12:47pm -- Richard, Hype! (www.hype.com) is a Web studio based. We produce interactive games and Web sites for a variety of clients. We use the same technology for producing intranets. one of the many interesting capabilities ofintranets is corporate wide training using realaudio and vdo live coupled with our interactive games as a self test module after training.
rubidge (126.96.36.199) - 12:49pm richard, here is a url for a game we recently produced for one of canada's largest access providers ' (a subsidiary of Bell). the game questions revolve around the olympics. you have to log in first. we are keeping it live for a few more days just to show it off. it makes use of some great animated gifs. if you email me i can send you a list of other games we have produced (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Scott C. (184.108.40.206) - 12:45pm -- Is anyone aware of any analysis of expected return of Internet advertising? CPM, cost per lead, ... etc?
Richard Seltzer (22.214.171.124) - 12:50pm -- Scott -- Internet advertising might be a good topic for a future session. I don't have an immediate answer for you. (Gut feel -- it's mostly black magic right now; and I'm very skeptical for plain old image/brand banners. They don't seem to make very good use of Internet capabilities.)
Tom D (184.108.40.206) - 12:50pm -- Had to take a voice call. Tom Dadakis DadaCom email@example.com
Nora (22.214.171.124) - 12:52pm Nora Ross, RBA Web Consultancy, firstname.lastname@example.com://www.tiac.net/users/nora. suggested direction: use of intranets for transaction processing - both commercial and manufacturing.

I really enjoyed the chat today. I haven't been on it before, and it is a little confusing, but I thought it was very worthwhile.
CLM (Council of Logistics Management) is, or at least, used to be where all the hi tech companies went to discover cutting edge Information Systems, (and related business stuff). I imagine it's still an influential forum. I kept up my membership for a while, but couldn't cost justify it as an independent.
The focus of CLM is NOT strictly I.S., but systems are usually involved in one way or another in most of the topics and themes. They also have strong ties to university and logistics research.
The way I kind of saw it, was if you could get something published in the CLM Jorunal (which is a really big deal), or be on their schedule for giving a talk, that meant that the ideas you were presenting, had a certain amount of credibility.
When I was hanging around there, CLM liked to think of themselves as "cutting edge", but I thought they were pretty conservative.
I thought Tom's passing remark about IS and the financial types being in a restraining role was interesting. Much of the time I worked at DEC, I was officially working for IS, but as a representative of business issues. Maybe things have changed a lot, but often, I.S. was a barrier to doing new things.
Anyway, doing a presentation at a CLM meeting doesn't guarantee you're going to get tons of business from the attendees, but it is a way of lessening resistance to new approaches.... and it does open up new contacts.

Parents Problems With MPAA Ratings
When you see a movie that is rated PG do you know if it is safe for your 5-7 yo children to watch it? By safe, we mean just because there won't be nudity or adult language, is the content appropriate for your children?
Recently our friends over at RedPillParents.com wrote an article entitled "Movie Rating – Half the Story or More Like 5%" exploring this topic.
Being a parent has always been a hard job and apparently it is not getting any easier. We appreciate the work that Jamie and his team have put into their blog and hope our audience finds the information helpful as well.

You want me to sign
a what?
By Jude
Stewart Bankrate.com
nice to have a few Benjamins to sweat over, but do you really need
a prenuptial before marrying? Up front, I'll admit to a gross prejudice
against the idea, but since I've spent some time gathering my fairly
substantial assets, I figured it couldn't hurt to learn a bit about
First prejudice blown: prenups are not just pessimism-in-a-bottle
regarding a possible divorce. More than anything, prenups allow
you to review critical matters related to your estate, your small
business, AND your marriage and family stuff. You will be better
prepared for your financial life together, any possibility of divorce,
and death.
Second prejudice blown: worry about divorce later,
what's the big deal now? Whether you believe these stats apply to
you or not, here they are: half of all couples married this year
will get divorced, and for each divorce they will shuck out $30,000
on average just for lawyers to get it over with. If nothing else,
that should put a bug in your ear to read on.
Consider if any of the following applies to you:
- advertisement -
You have more assets than your
partner, or you have comparable assets but both sides have amassed
enough to be worried about it. Yes, that's subjective, and it
DOES include any retirement money you've set aside. If you labored
to build your assets at all, you have license to feel a little
proprietary about it.
You have children from a previous
marriage and you'd like them to receive some or all of your
inheritance if you die. (This won't happen as a default unless
you plan for it.)
You own a business or work
for a family business. Ditto if you're a partner in a law or
medical practice. (It's smart to consider who controls the business
or partnership share in a marriage -- your co-workers and partners
will thank you for it.)
You own real estate or are
ready to buy property.
One of you is being supported
by the other while you finish college or graduate school.
One of you plans to give up
a lucrative job after the marriage to take care of kids, even
for a few years.
How to do it right
If you're going to bother, plunge in early and
do it legitimately. Both of you will need a lawyer and experts suggest
you settle papers a minimum of a month before the actual wedding
-- even earlier if you expect to write checks together for the ceremony
or reception. Each of you must disclose everything you own, and
valuable items such as antiques, property, or a business have to be
appraised by a third party. A valid agreement can only be reached
when both of you really know what's at stake. It should be notarized
and witnessed by at least two neutral parties.
What's in it?
Why, anything you want. If you have a business, you can state
who owns it, who pays its expenses and who will control it in the
event of death or divorce. Same if you own a house or property --
who owns it, who foots the bill for the water heater, who gets it
later. Although you can, you don't necessarily have to deal with
sensitive issues like alimony or child support in this document.
Nor should you get into wild specifics about how the marriage will
be run. It's a good enough start just figuring out what each of
you owns and what among those things you are not prepared to share...or
Take me as the guinea pig. I have solid retirement
and nonretirement portfolios totaling more than $100,000 and I'm
very close to being able to purchase my own home. I stand to get
a mild inheritance (don't awash me in fan mail just yet; when I
say mild I mean mild). I'm also on the path to being an entrepreneur
-- if and when I do launch my business, I know I'd want full control
over it. All key issues to address if my man and I were to consider
an agreement.
Sounds like it stinks. Well, don't do it, nobody's
chewing your lobe off. A lawyer can advise you about ways to restructure
your will or estate that mirror the effects of a prenuptial, and
there's also a less stringent document available known as a partition
agreement. Although, if it's a fear of relationships-with-documents
you have, this alternative isn't much different from an out-and-out
Start slow and play it by ear. Open a joint checking
account. Get some financial goals going that pertain to you both
-- whether it's a vacation or a new couch -- and work toward them
together. Any nasty differences in opinion should surface with a
little financial practice,� and you can work them out before you
put all your assets -- and your single life -- at stake.

WTM to Kiss?
#1 Guest_markb4_*
Posted 02 September 2011 - 05:26 PM
I've been reading up online about this so-called "Virgin Lip Movement", in which people not only wait until marriage for sexual relations, but also waiting until marriage to kiss. Just wanted to know what you all think of that. Personally, I find that a very noble thing and admire the people who practice that.

But all in all, I would certainly admire and respect anyone pursuing this.
Posted 03 September 2011 - 02:39 PM
If i met a girl that wanted to do that, I would wait to kiss I guess. It would be super difficult, but I would do it.

I was dating a guy who seemed to be perfect for me, we kissed in the most romantic setting, it couldn't have been more beautiful and there was absolutely no spark. My heart didn't race, I didn't get excited about it it was just boring. It instantly told me that this wasn't going to work because we had no physical chemistry and after some trying the relationship didn't work out. The next guy I was with our first kiss felt really romantic and my heart fluttered and it was just great. Kissing can tell you a lot about the relationship, I couldn't wait until marriage for it.
Flowerbee, don't worry I saved my first kiss for a special moment that I would remember and with a guy that I really liked. Some of my friends are nearly 19 and they have never had a boyfriend or kissed a guy so don't worry, there is no rush! When it's right it will happen!

Hey All,
I've been reading up online about this so-called "Virgin Lip Movement", in which people not only wait until marriage for sexual relations, but also waiting until marriage to kiss. Just wanted to know what you all think of that. Personally, I find that a very noble thing and admire the people who practice that.
I love to kiss. It makes feel close to the special person but, I don't go beyond that. There is nothing wrong with kissing before marriage
Posted 19 October 2011 - 09:52 AM
I'm still undecided yet but I'm leaning towards no kissing with tongues until I'm married as that to me at least is quite a sexual thing and I don't want the temptation!

For me I would be comfortable (once I am dating a girlfriend), to kiss her on the lips (no tongues), kiss her on the cheek, kiss her forehead and hand but nowhere too intimate or that might make the situation head in that direction ieno tongues, kissing her neck that sort of thing.
Posted 19 October 2011 - 09:09 PM
Posted 20 October 2011 - 06:37 AM
I'm not WTM to kiss. I may consider no kissing-with-tongues till marriage, but I don't know. I'll just have to wait and see what happens when I get a boyfriend!
If I was going out with someone who was WTM to kiss, that'd be fine. I wouldn't mind waiting if I really loved him, I think.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
-"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
Posted 20 October 2011 - 10:00 AM
Yes I think so sally, I think to me because I have always dated people who were only intrested in me for one reason that avoiding temptations and avoiding thislngs that are kind of sexual or have sexual undertones especially if the person I'm dating is not waiting is important to me because I want the little things like sweet kisses, holding hands, cuddleing etc to be important in a relationship as I have never had that kind of love and intimacy even though that's all inhabe ever wanted.
To be honest I would to as far to say I have never really been in love, just really scared of losing someone who pretends to care about me so I will sleep with them, at least that's what is has always felt like t me so that's why love and non sexual thing are so special to me and why I want sex to be special ie wait until I'm married because marriage is more important I me that sex if that makes sense?

- Finding More Award Availability With Stopovers
- How to Book American Airlines Stopovers Online
- How to Find and Book US Airways Stopovers
- How To Book United Stopovers Online: Part 1
- How To Book United Stopovers Online: Part 2
To recap, what was said here, with United you get one stopover and two open jaws on a roundtrip ticket.
One of the best parts about United is their stopover and open-jaw rules combined with their awesome search engine. They have one of the most complete Star Alliance award search engines. Plus, it has the ability to search and book multiple-destinations and multiple stops all online.
There are two advantages to being able to do this online. The first and most obvious one is the simple ability to search. For a lot of people, it's a good way to learn what a legal stopover routing is. The second is simply to avoid the $25 phone booking fee. Personally, it's just fun to search online. Odd?
Searching is easy. Just go to United.com and check "Award Travel," then click "Multiple Destinations"
Let's just plan a hypothetical trip from Chicago to Europe. Let's see London, Paris and Rome. The best way to do this might be to make London/Paris our stopover and Rome our destination. London to Paris will be the "open-jaw" part of the trip, as an open-jaw is essentially the part of the ticket in which you are responsible for your own transportation. The nice thing here is that you can add the open-jaw to a stopover or a destination, or both. In this case we'll make London/Paris our stopover and an open-jaw.
It will look like this:
Next we simply have to pick the dates and enter them into the Multiple Destination search. It's hopefully pretty straight forward. In our hypothetical case, it will look like this:
Remember a few things:
- Stopovers and destinations can be as long as you want. You don't need to follow a similar timeline to what I've just laid out.
- You are responsible for getting from London to Paris. Take the train, Ryanair, or whatever you'd like, but United is allowing you to leave a gap in that ticket (again, called an "open-jaw").
- Make sure "Award" is checked before you hit search.
- Stopovers, if done correctly, do not add any extra costs to the ticket. The price in miles should be the same as a roundtrip ticket to Rome. However, you do have to pay airport taxes on every airport you depart from. In this case you'll have to pay the airport taxes for Chicago, Paris and then Rome.
One thing you'll first notice about the multiple destination tool is that it does not show you the price of each seat. Instead it's waiting to price the ticket. Just select "Saver Award" for your desired class of travel, all the way through your ticket. I'm going to click the blue "Saver Award" for each leg of travel until I get to the final pricing screen.
Sometimes you may find that you're having trouble finding availability when using the Multiple-Destination tool. I actually had to change the date for the second leg of the trip. This could be because of the dates or it could be that United's system is a little glitchy. We'll talk about a few of the details of booking stopovers next. In the mean time, I encourage you to play around with the Multiple-Destination tool.
A couple take-aways or things to try:
- Add open-jaws to different parts of the ticket. An open-jaw could also be a gap between Rome and Florence. An open-jaw could be returning to New York instead of Chicago.
- I picked a fairly normal route to do a stopover, but sometimes you can touch three regions this way. For example Europe as a stopover on the way to Africa. Or you can have a stopover in your own country on the way home – like a stopover in DC on the way to Chicago.
- Despite what you would think is logical, United's system does allow you to do a fair amount of backtracking. A friend recently booked a trip to Ireland and Scotland and was surprised that the computer let him route through Frankfurt three times on one ticket.
But baby steps first. Just see if you can add a stopover to a desired trip and get it to price correctly. Here is United's award chart. Check and make sure that your final price is the same as a roundtrip between those regions would be. Again, we'll talk about better ways to check for award availability next.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Adderley, "Cannonball" (Julian)
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was the first musician to take listeners' ears beyond the monumental achievements of Charlie Parker on the saxophone. Adderley's alto helped define the hard-bop sound, with his combination of blistering technique and a seemingly effortless ability to meld the blues, gospel, and funk with bebop.
Julian Adderley was born on September 15th, 1928 in Tampa, Florida. He initially wanted to play tenor saxophone, but since both money and instruments were scarce during the Second World War, Adderley ended up buying a beat-up alto.
While in high school, Julian received his nickname Cannonball. Originally, friends called him "Cannibal," because of his large appetite, but through many mispronunciations it became "Cannonball."
After high school, he attended Florida A&M University, then taught music to high school students at Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale. In 1950, Adderley was drafted into the U.S. Army. He was a member of the 36th Army Band, which played mostly dance material. Several other notable jazz musicians in this band were trombonist Curtis Fuller and Cannonball's brother Nat, who played trumpet and cornet.
The band eventually wound being stationed in Washington D.C., where Cannonball studied music at the United States Naval Academy. He then ended up in Kentucky, where he led the base band at Fort Knox. Cannonball and Nat were both discharged in the mid 1950s, at which point they decided to move to New York City together.
Initially, Cannonball enrolled at New York University for graduate studies in music, but quickly became too busy playing gigs to attend class. His got his first gig in the city with bassist Oscar Pettiford at the Café Bohemia, after one night when he went to see the band and saxophonist Charlie Rouse forgot his horn. Since no one else in the band had one, Pettiford asked Cannonball to sit in on "I Remember April," and he quickly got the gig.
Even though he was already making waves on the New York scene, Cannonball decided to leave New York and return to his teaching position in Fort Lauderdale. The city's pull was too strong, however, and by 1956 he was back on the scene. Following his return, Adderley formed his own group with Nat, pianist Junior Mance, and bassist Sam Jones. The group gigged briefly, before Adderley was asked to join Miles Davis's group in 1957.
Even before officially joining Davis, they appeared together on Adderley's 1958 Blue Note release, Somethin' Else. They are joined on this album by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Blakey on the songs "Autumn Leaves" and "Love for Sale."
Cannonball, with tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, rejuvenated Davis's group and together they created a fresh sound that created a stir in the jazz world. Adderley appeared with Davis on many notable recordings in the late 1950s, including Milestones and Porgy and Bess, in which Adderley can be heard on the songs "Buzzard Song," "Fishermen, Strawberry and Devil Crab," and "Summertime."
Adderley's musical output with Davis is truly remarkable, given the short time the group was together. Adderley also informally managed the band's finances during his tenure with Davis, and also recommended that Davis hire pianist Bill Evans and drummer Jimmy Cobb before the Kind of Blue sessions.
In May of 1958, Adderley went into the studio with Davis and Coltrane, where they recorded several songs including "On Green Dolphin Street." The group's set at the Newport Jazz Festival, which included "Fran-Dance," was recorded, although no film of the performance exists. In the fall of 1958, the Miles Davis sextet performed in the Edwardian room at the Plaza hotel. This performance was recorded and became the album Jazz at the Plaza.
In 1959, the group along with pianist Bill Evans went to the studio to record the sessions that became Kind of Blue. This album arguably set the tone for modal jazz, however loosely defined that category may be. Between March and April of 1959, the group recorded the songs that ultimately made up the album. In the nexus of Evans's impressionistic harmonies, Coltrane's murderous technique, Adderley's blues-driven solos, and Davis' abilities as a leader, they created what has rightly been considered one of the greatest achievements in jazz.
This configuration can be heard on the modal classic "So What" and "All Blues," where Adderley's solo swings so hard it raises the roof. Also explored on the album is "Flamenco Sketches," which has little to do with Spain but is a hauntingly memorable ballad.
In the fall of 1959, Adderley left Davis to form his own group with Nat on cornet and trumpet, Bobby Timmons on piano, and Sam Jones on bass. The band recorded the album Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco, which includes the track In 1960, the same band released a second West-Coast live album, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet at the Lighthouse, which featured the song "Azule Scrape."
In 1961, pianist Joe Zawinul joined Adderley's group as it began to embrace the funkier side of jazz and R&B. Multi-reedist Yusef Lateef also joined the group in 1962, and together they appeared on a string of albums that include The Sextet and Jazz Workshop Revisited, both recorded in 1962. Later that year, Cannonball also recorded an album of Brazilian music entitled Bossa Nova with pianist Sergio Mendes.
Charles Lloyd replaced Yusef Lateef in the group, and can be heard on the album Fiddler on the Roof.
Pianist Joe Zawinul wrote two of the Adderley band's biggest hits: "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and "Country Preacher." Joe Zawinul left the group in 1970, and he was replaced by keyboardist George Duke.
Adderley continued to record, perform, and tour in the 1970s. He released many albums for Capitol, which included The Black Messiah in 1971, The Happy People in 1972 and Music, You All in 1973. Adderley suffered from diabetes most of his life, and succumbed to a stroke on August 8th, 1975.
Adderley's legacy on the also saxophone is comparable only to that of Charlie Parker. But beyond his evident gifts as a soloist, he was truly a complete musician, whose behind-the-scenes efforts made the Kind of Blue possible, and whose prolific catalog continues to set the standard for his instrument.

It's poison, first it feels like a prick and then it hits you like a jumbo jet.
It's heaven, and heaven is a place you can never find your cigarettes.
For Boston, shamrock shakes and Oxycontin.
Bob Cousy, when they say they're looking around for the O.C. they ain't talking about the TV.
Some townie, he's got a diamond wrapped up in a dishtowel and he's trying to do a deal with me,
and he's skittish like a centipede.
He's got a steak knife in his jacket sleeve.
For Boston, shamrock shakes and Oxycontin.
For Boston, you can find it at the corner of the Commons right by Downtown Crossing.
These girls at BU they all do it too.
They lie down on Lansdowne, they lose their left shoes.
These girls at BU they all do it too.
She stumbled down Lansdowne, she lost her left shoe,
and she lost all her friends, and she's crying and she needs a ride home.
You just want it to end
She lost her new phone,
she despises her friends,
and when you get her back to housing,
she asks if you want to come in and get pinned.
For Boston, you can solve all your problems in the Commons right by Downtown Crossing
In Brighton, St. Elizabeth is sick of all your drinking and fighting.
In Allston, there are nights when you get pretty annoying.

Next month, the FIDM Musesum will once again play host the Annual Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design exhibition. On display will be several costumes designed by FIDM alumna, Jill Ohanneson from ABC's hit show Revenge. We have already featured a post designed to achieve a look inspired by the fashion seen in the show, now we're back to show you tricks on how to transform your space into a luxe Hampton's beach house.
Get the look: Everything about the Grayson estate screams decadence. They do live in the Hamptons after all! Similar to the show, we chose pieces that were very neutral in color. Not only can a neutral palette look seaside chic, but all the whites and creams can help make your space appear larger. We also chose items that had similar black bold lines like those found on the coffee table and french doors. This will help add sophistication and drama to your space. You can also add small pops of color here and there with the help of a floral centerpiece.

Drivers face double detour off Main Street in Elkhart after miscommunication
Main Street motorists diverted onto Indiana Avenue faced another surprise detour off that roadway on Tuesday and Wednesday. It'll happen again later in June, too.
ELKHART — Motorists maneuvering around Main Street, which is closed north of Indiana Avenue, faced an unexpected detour to their detour earlier this week.
Main Street was barricaded to traffic on Monday, June 2, from Indiana Avenue north to Willard Street, which is south of the downtown Norfolk Southern Railroad crossing. The closure, to last until around Dec. 1, is needed to allow placement of new sewer and utility lines under the roadway, an element of the Prairie Street overpass construction project.
The detour for northbound Main Street traffic was identified as Indiana Avenue, west to Benham Avenue and Benham Avenue north to downtown Elkhart, where Main Street is open. However, Indiana Avenue was closed for at least part of Tuesday and Wednesday for work on the roadway between Prairie Street and Benham Avenue.
Thus, motorists detouring off Main Street were faced with having yet another detour off of Indiana Avenue.
- Scroll down to see a map of the area.
Leslie Biek, right-of-way engineer for the city of Elkhart, said she overlooked an Elkhart Street Department email on the Indiana Avenue upgrade plans, leading to the situation. Biek, who's helping oversee the Main Street sewer/Prairie Street overpass project, works in the Elkhart Public Works and Utilities Department while the Elkhart Street Department is handling the Indiana Avenue road upgrade.
Marty Morgan, the street commissioner, said Indiana Avenue was reopened as of Thursday, though there may still be minor work on the roadway. However, it will close again, probably for a day, later in June so the upgrade between Prairie Street and Benham Avenue can be completed.
City crews ground off the top layer of Indiana Avenue in the section in question, but they still need to resurface it, according to Morgan.
Ahead of the resurfacing, Biek said the city will take steps to get word out to the public so motorists can plan their travel accordingly. "They'll have to do the same thing, detour the detour," she said.

To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Sanofi-aventis negotiated an exclusive global license to Wellstat Therapeutics' mid-stage type 2 diabetes therapy, PN2034, and related compounds. The deal could be worth up to $350 million to Wellstat in the form of an up-front cash payment plus development and regulatory milestones. Additional commercial milestones and royalties could follow.
PN2034 is an oral insulin sensitizer discovered by Wellstat. The drug's ability to reverse insulin resistance in the liver of diabetic patients is currently being assessed in Phase II trials. PN2034 and its analogs reportedly act on a target that is distinct from other known types of insulin sensitizers. Wellstat says that PN2034 has also shown activity in models of fatty liver disease and other metabolic disorders.
Wellstat's lead product is vistonuridine, an orally active prodrug of uridine. The drug has completed Phase III trials as an antidote to accidental overdose with the chemotherapy 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Wellstat points out there are currently no licensed antidotes available for 5-FU overdose.
In May the company reported on 17 cases of 5-FU overdose for which its drug, vistonuridine, was requested and administered (within 8–96 hours of 5-FU overdose) under the FDA's emergency-use IND provisions. Wellstat says that all 17 of the vistonuridine-treated patients recovered; a fatal outcome for at least 13 patients had been predicted due to the dose and rate of 5-FU administration.
Wellstat is separately investigating the potential use of vistonuridine as a combination therapy with 5-FU. A Phase III trial evaluating and comparing the treatment of pancreatic cancer using vistonuridine and high-dose 5-FU versus gemcitabine has been completed. Additional studies are being planned, including a Phase III trial in gastric cancer patients.

Secrets of Success
Vascular specialist today & SSDI hearing tomorrow
Tuesday, October 22, 2013
Tomorrow morning is my SSDI hearing. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through the hearing. I'm not even sure if I'll find out a yes/no tomorrow or if I have to wait for the official judgement. My hearing starts at 9:30, but have to be there early to meet with my lawyer, have to drive there (in rush hour), and getting up early enough to be ready for when my social worker comes to pick me up - so I have to wake up about 6-6:30 am to be ready. Too often I don't fall asleep until 5 am, so I've gotta take meds to help me sleep, which will not make anything better tomorrow. My exhaustion is ridiculous.
Today I saw my vascular specialist about why I can suddenly hear my own heartbeat in my ear, sometimes so loud I literally can't hear anything else. Not really worried, but wondering what's up. (Considering I called early last week just to ask "should I see him?" and his scheduler got me in today as the last appt of the day from a cancellation - wondering if he snuck me in - instead of making me wait the 6+ weeks he's booking out, they took me serious but aren't seriously worried.) We made a plan of attack that he wants me starting ASAP. The unfortunate first part is stopping the Lyrica. It's not really doing any good to help with my pain, but come on! I already am immune to most painkillers and the 1 that does help shuts down my nervous system making it so I can't feel much but I can't function at all (I rag doll twice in the 30 small steps to the bathroom). 2nd step is he wants me seeing an ENT - ASAP (if I can't get in before the end of the month I'm supposed to let him know so he can pull strings) - to see if something went wrong in my ears. 3rd step is getting yet another look at the blood vessels in my neck to check for aneurisms or blood clots or something funky (doubtful but worthwhile 'JIC', even though I just had them looked at in August). He asked my thoughts, and I said my best guess is it's due to EDS, possibly from the suspected organ prolapse pulling everything else above it down too or just from the current meds I'm on that have increased my blood pressure to normal which is allowing blood to back up in my head when my neck is bent.
Best part of this specialist is that he not only listens, but he knows I know my body and my conditions so he asks my thoughts and worked with me to create a plan of attack. Though he thought I was talking a little faster than normal (for me) so they drew blood to check my thyroid. It's been tested dozens of times, but why not check it again? Perhaps getting my adrenaline under control might show some changes in other hormone levels.
I am so stressed I want to curl up in a closet and pretend the world doesn't exist. Unfortunately I can't. I have 18 appointments this month. That doesn't include picking up meds, getting new braces, trying to get a new walker and a cane, dealing with insurance companies, dealing with lawyers, dealing with county agencies, being harassed DAILY by wells freaking fargo, having no idea where I'll be living in 3 months, not having enough energy to run errands or make food to eat, etc etc etc. Being told my new LTD lawyer wanted a complete list of symptoms for all of my conditions was so overwhelming I couldn't even deal, so I had to have 2 friends help me (thanks Sherry!) to realize that just reading the list is overwhelming! I just can't even deal. Having no money at all doesn't make anything easier! My social worker is even telling me to start packing up my house, but when I bend over I pass out! I can't pack! Yeah, where's the closet I get to curl up in to hide from the world?

Michael White's Taste in Pies: Decidedly Square
Chef Bianco has been practicing for his upcoming pizzeria, Nicoletta.
Plywood went up a few weeks back for Michael White's upcoming East Village pizzeria, Nicoletta, and it seems the toque has been readying things in other ways as well. Yesterday, chef Bianco tweeted a photo of some tasty-looking (square!) pizza, with the words "Nicoletta Test Kitchen tonight. Thick Cut Pepperoni, Onion, Mushroom ... " So, is he going ... Roman ... here? Meanwhile, White's not the only chef tweeting photos of upcoming dishes. Seamus Mullen posted a picture of something that looks a little less finished: a pile of dead pheasants. So look for that on your plate at Tertulia soon. [Chefbianco/Twitter]

Firefighters were kept busy over the weekend with a blaze at a Bartlesville storage facility and area grass fires, on top of normal medical calls, according to a Bartlesville Fire Department official.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. Saturday, there were multiple reports of a fire involving Acorn Storage on 14th Street in west Bartlesville.
"Upon arrival, firefighters found multiple units involved with flames coming from the roof of the storage unit structure," BFD Assistant Fire Chief and Public Information Officer Bill Hollander said today.
According to Hollander, there are 15 storage units in the building and eight of them sustained heavy fire damage. The remaining units sustained smoke and heat damage.
"It was particularly difficult due to the large amount of hose that had to be strung," Hollander said, explaining that the closest fire hydrant was more than 2,000 feet away. "Also, the fact that (there was) narrow access between buildings."
Hollander said most of the units were nearly packed full, which also made it difficult to extinguish the fire.
"We ended up bringing in a backhoe and were able to utilize the backhoe to scoop the contents out of the various storage units and then we pushed all of the debris to the south end of the structure, where it could be spread out and extinguished thoroughly," Hollander said.
He said it took approximately one hour to get the fire under control, as well as several additional hours to extinguish hot spots.
"Fires like this are always difficult in nature due to the unknowns involved," Hollander said. "Firefighters don't know what could be in the storage unit, hazardous materials to flammables to propane bottles … we have to use extreme caution when battling these kinds of fires."
According to Hollander, the cause of the fire is still undetermined. He said the facility is in Osage County and he has contacted the State Fire Marshal's Office to investigate further.
"All of us firefighters feel extremely sad for the losses that the renters incurred. We understand that many treasures and mementos were more than likely lost," Hollander said.
Hollander said there was a grass fire in a field south of 18th Street, in the area of Rogers and Elm, on Friday. Washington County Emergency Management and Airport Road Fire Department assisted.
The field was involved in a similar grass fire on Saturday, he said.
He said firefighters spent several hours both days extinguishing the fires and estimated 20 acres burned each day.
The cause of the fires is unknown.
"However, juveniles were seen in the area both times," Hollander said, adding that if anyone has information on those fire, they should call Crimestoppers at 918-336-2583.

I'm logging into an Ubuntu 10.04LTS server from my mac using standard ssh client. My ssh sessions log out automatically after a few minutes of inactivity. Normally this is a great security measure, but sometimes it's really inconvenient. How can I disable this?
As far as I know there is no standard feature in Ubuntu that logs out ssh users that are idle. I have right now an SSH connection to a 10.04 Ubuntu computer that is well over 2 days idle.
The most common reason for this behavior I have experienced is a broken NAT or firewall between you and the server. What happens is that the entries in the state table are timed out and therefor the connection is reset unless you keep using it. Try the following:
And see if you keep getting disconnected. In that case, set those in your ssh config. Note that with these settings routing errors or similar will make your connection die after 45 seconds (ServerAliveInterval * ServerAliveCountMax (defaults to 3)) So you might want to play around with the ServerAliveInterval a bit.
Is this Ubuntu box your client or your server? In any case, from my experience idle connections are often timed out by routers, rather than the remote (and almost never by the client).
You can edit your /etc/ssh/ssh_config and set this value to less than the amount of time it takes for you to time out (it's in seconds):
If you are the server then edit sshd_config and changed:
The client and server will send alive packets at those intervals thus creating activity across your connection.
Check you environment for

The Cure for Everything by Timothy Caulfield
Release date: 2012 / 256 pages
Synopsis (from Amazon.com): Rarely a day goes by without a public pronouncement of some exciting health-enhancing discovery: a new diet, a new fitness routine, a new drug or alternative therapy, the miracles achieved by genetic mapping. And we are told—by the media, health-care experts, even government—that we should use this information to live a healthier life. But what information can we trust? In The Cure for Everything, health-policy expert and fitness enthusiast Timothy Caulfield debunks the mythologies of the one-step health crazes, reveals the truths behind misleading data, and discredits the charlatans in a quest to sort out real, reliable health advice…
Review: Timothy Caulfield's inspiration for The Cure for Everything came from "an obsession with facts… a personal interest in health and fitness, and two decades of involvement with science policy." The result is a highly informative, often surprising, and thoroughly entertaining handbook to health that focuses on four areas: fitness, diet, genetics, and remedies.
The first section begins by differentiating fitness from simply "looking good." Caulfield debunks the myth that exercise alone will result in weight loss and learns that true fitness involves high intensity, circuit training involving heavy weights. In the section on diet, he verifies that portion control is the key to weight loss: while researching this section, Caulfield lost over 20 pounds by following the basic principles of a healthy diet (50% fruits and vegetables, 25% whole grains, 25% meat and dairy).
He then discovers that genetic research is largely funded by "addiction industries" — gambling, junk food, alcohol, and especially tobacco. In the section on remedies, he attempts to overdose on homeopathic sleeping pills and fortunately fails. This section not only debunks naturopathic and homeopathic "cures" but exposes the influence of Big Pharma over conventional medicine and emphasizes the necessity of an independent entity to conduct all clinical trials.
While many of his findings are surprising, Caulfield's ultimate conclusion is not: "There are no magical cures or programs… Exercise often and with intensity… eat small portion sizes [of whole foods], try… to maintain a healthy weight… do not smoke… drink moderate amounts of alcohol…"
