Zeyad, that is great news. Don't want to minimise your ongoing challenging situation, but I truly hope this clean break will lift your spirit and serve as a springboard to greater things.

Great news! I'm happy for you.

Today's entry re: American politics:
While most potential voters consider the economy still sluggish at best, 60% are optimistic, expecting significant improvement through 2013. Right off the bat that's gotta sound good for Obama and bad for Romney. It's a significant improvement for Obama on that question, coming just here lately. But, looking a little deeper, it may be a jump ball right just now.
On who'd do a better job of stewardship, of handling the economy, it's definitely a jump ball, 48% to 47% Obama's favor.
For fixing the economy, Romney's got the edge, 52% to 41%.
Romney also gets the edge on reducing the deficit, 52% to 42%.
Foreign policy appears to be a near jump ball too. 49% to 46% for Obama.
Trying to figure out the discrepancy between stewardship and fixing, the only thing I can come up with as an explanation is that some folks may think it just needs more time, doesn't so much need fixing from the president.

That's wonderful news, Zeyad. :)
Sorry about the neighbors, I had high hopes that they were okay people.
If you go to collect your things from your family take someone with you. A large male with lots of muscles would be good. :)
A Mazda? I've heard good things about them. My former boss had one for years.
There was a letter to the editor in my paper today that made me think of your situation with your family. Here is an excerpt:
Forgiveness is needed when the offense is major, and forgiveness understands the behavior that caused the offense but does not grant it acceptability. I recently came to the realization that forgiveness does not cause amnesia; it is acceptable to forgive and not forget. Forgiveness is a process that eventually frees those who forgive from harboring pain and anger toward the offender or from seeking retribution. True forgiveness benefits the forgiver more than the forgiven.
I hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July, Zeyad. :)

Oh, just thought of something else, Zeyad.
If and when you speak to your family again, don't fall for any blandishments to come back because things will be different. It usually doesn't work that way.
- Wednesday, July 04, 2012
Came back to your blog after a long time. So sorry for all the personal upheaval in your life, after all the political upheaval you witnessed recently too. Just remember, you only have one life and you deserve to live it in peace and without abuse. Here's to a more peaceful future, both personal and political. Use the opportunities you've been given to rebuild and welcome to your new life.

Bernie continues to enable and support a corrupt candidate. If he had any integrity, he would have withdrawn that endorsement. Wasserman Schultz had the sense to resign, but the damage is already done to the DNC. Anything they present now is fruit of the poisoned tree. It was released over the weekend that Wasserman Schultz was going to work with Clinton's presidential campaign after she stepped down from the DNC. I guess rigging the system pays. DWS is just another lap dog of the Clinton machine....she doesn't do anything without permission.

"Summertime" Igls Things to Do Tip by Maria_75
Igls Things to Do: 9 reviews and 28 photos
Even if Igls is a very famous winterresort, there are lots of things to do here in the summer too. The most popular is hiking and mountainclimbing which you can read more about in a different tip.
If you don't want to do that, or you want to do something different there are lots of other things too. There are two golfcourses close to the city; a 9-hole in Sperberegg 2 km away and a 18-hole in Rinn 7 km away.
At 2000m in Patscherkofel you can find the highest botanical garden in Europe and it has over 400 different high-alpine plants. Or you can go to the gorge of Imst and try rafting if you prefer that. The trail is 14,5 km and takes about 2 hours. It's also possible to raft on the river of Inn.
Other popular things are biking, tennis, volleyball, bungeejumping, horseriding, swimming, summer bobsleigh and minigolf.

I was running my site on wordpress 3.3.1 earlier and I upgraded it to 3.5
Everything is working just fine except for the menu.
The menu works fine on the home page but does not work well on the inside pages.
I checked the CSS output for the menu for the home page as well as the other pages, it seems that the CSS and the HTML code generated is a little different.
any help would be great.

You might see some strange images on the Internet, and in our ongoing series of unusual costumed happenings we'd like to document another anomaly that we've come across on Pinterest. You might have seen people wearing horse masks before doing various every day things, this meme however goes one gallop further. People are putting their horse masks on their dogs to create tiny horses. Here's 5 of our favourites images that we've discovered so far.

While bedwetting can be a symptom of an underlying disease, a large majority of children who wet the bed have no underlying disease that explains their bedwetting. In fact, an underlying condition is identified in only about 1% of children who routinely wet the bed.
That does not mean that the child who wets the bed can control it or is doing it on purpose. Children who wet are not lazy, willful, or disobedient. Bedwetting is most often a developmental issue.
Types of Bedwetting
There are 2 types of bedwetting: primary and secondary. Primary means bedwetting that has been ongoing since early childhood without a break. A child with primary bedwetting has never been dry at night for any significant length of time. Secondary bedwetting is bedwetting that starts up after the child has been dry at night for a significant period of time, at least 6 months.
What Causes Primary Bedwetting?
The cause is likely due to one or a combination of the following:
- The child cannot yet hold urine for the entire night.
- The child does not waken when his or her bladder is full.
- The child produces a large amount of urine during the evening and night hours.
- The child has poor daytime toilet habits. Many children habitually ignore the urge to urinate and put off urinating as long as they possibly can. Parents usually are familiar with the leg crossing, face straining, squirming, squatting, and groin holding that children use to hold back urine.

Unfortunately when you give a position to a clerk and give him a quarter of a billion dollars its Orlando, Fla time. He hit the lottery and his main goal was to keep as much as he could for himself and to heck with shareholders! I blame it on the BOD and auditors for allowing this to happen. This poor smuck is taking total blame but i'm sure they knew exactly what was going on and took no action.
Agreed but we do u expect wjen he hand picked them.

Hey action sports peeps!
I found this really interesting magazine online for the action sports community. It is kind of small now but i fell like this could grow to be something really cool and intense. What i thought was really cool about this site is the magazine like platform. Its basically just like a magazine on the internet. This is a really cool idea. It seems like they just published their first online issue. I really like it! They have this cool article about Thomas Bordelon a motorcross professional. Also, the magazine includes little cartoons, interesting articles, and interesting adds for consumer products. It seems that this magazine is tailored for the action sports community. They already have some pretty decent brands supporting them. I think you can at least check it out, the link is here:
Most of my blogs will be about cool action sports communities online. However, I feel this one has a lot of potential. I'm going to definitely keep up with this site.

Nursing Home driven out of town
Posted in the Carterville Forum
1 - 8 of 8 Comments Last updated Aug 10, 2012
#1 Aug 7, 2012
Everybody remember the nursing home that was to come to town last year? Spearheaded by Bart Lind and aided by Boyd, Mitchell, and Crabtree, they successfully ran this new business out of town when it was set to open on the Newton Ball Field.
Now this business went to West Frankfort and was welcomed with open arms. It was set up in no time and is now operating there with 12-15 really good paying jobs that could've come to JC. And these guys are supposed to be "businessmen"? Nice job Bart and the good ole boys. Way to keep JC back and progress out. PATHETIC!
#2 Aug 7, 2012
Ever since Lind got elected it has been what is best for him and his family, not what is best for the city. Virginia Burton had some strange ideas, but she at least had the best for the city at heart.
Both him and his wife must have a huge ego to feed.
#3 Aug 7, 2012
15 full time jobs gone to West Frankfort and new constuction in a town that has so little, this is one big screw-up!Thanks Bart. Another feather in the cap of the "businessmen of JC"
United States
#4 Aug 8, 2012
Although Boyd will never officially be mayor, he still gets to call all of the shots with Bart Lind like he does with Mitchell. At least Bart has a little more time to get family members on the city payroll before Mitchell comes back.
#5 Aug 8, 2012
Bart is good for something. He had a big hand in losing Pittsburgh water contract which resulted in raising water bills for us. He helped run off good employees that cared about our town and where it was going. He ran off nursing home and jobs for our town. Way to go Bart. Your the man. Of course he could not have accomplished all this without Boyd first working his business magic behind the scenes telling Ryan horn what he should do before he was elected then side by side with Mitchell as alder mayor ,after horn realized what was going on and ran away, as they tear our city down bit by bit.
#6 Aug 8, 2012
Good nursing homes are hard to find. There are waiting lists for the better ones. It is not too late for JC to build one. The fact that WF has one would have nothing to do with it as demand far exceeds supply
#7 Aug 9, 2012
Hey Bart, if they want to put a nursing home in Boyd's neighborhood don't run it off.
Maybe he would move out of town.
Then again maybe he would also hit on some of the ladies in the nursing home. LMFAO
#8 Aug 10, 2012
Sure it does. The interested investors built in WF. Unless you have some lined up??

The BIGS (PlayStation3)
From GameWinners
Add to this page!
Easy skill points
- When you fill up your and your opponent fills up their point bars, wait until your opponent uses Power Blast. Strike the batter out with Big Heat and you will get 100,000 points for a Big Strike Out. You must do this a few times.
- If you have Big Heat when the other team has Power Blast, use the Big Heat. If you strike the batter out with Big Heat, you will get an additional 10,000 skill points (enough for a Power Blast).
Easy runs
A few batters before your rookie is up, try to get
base hits with them. For example, use Carl Crawford, Hank Blaylock,
and Justin Morneau. If you want to do this, load up the bases
if possible. Once they are loaded you should be able to hit a
home run with your rookie without problems. If you do this four
times you will receive unlimited Power Blasts for the rest of
the game.
Easy homeruns
When you can get bat graphics, select the flame bat.
Then, try to get your power ratings to the maximum. Once you have
done that you will automatically hit home runs.
Wii When each batter comes up to bat, hold Nunchuk Up then
hold Wiimote A to hit homeruns easily.
Xbox 360 When at bat, aim the batter in his batting direction and slightly up then press B to hit a homerun. For example, if the batter is right-handed, aim him to the right and up and press B. Usually this will result in a homerun.
Rookie Challenge: Easier Contact/Distance hitting
Note: This excludes All Star weekend. You can get
a better score for hitting in these drills if you place a pitcher
with the fewest pitches in the #1 slot in your pitching rotation.
The fewer the pitches, the more likely you will know what he is
going to throw. This works even better if you have a relief pitcher
who has all fastball types of pitches, (for example. fastball,
2-seam fastball, cutter). If you know what is coming, you should
not have a problem hitting the ball. Make sure the pitchers
you wish to use during the game are not on the "bench"
otherwise you cannot use them during the game. With this exception,
it does not matter what your pitching rotation order is, because
you can select them before the start of the game.
scti, la Ron Lewis
Recommended players
On the Rookie Challenge you have the opportunity of
stealing ten players. Take outfielders first because if somebody
gets a hold of a hanging curve you want speed; glove; and if someone's
in scoring position, a good arm. These are two groups of outfielders
that have all that. These outfielders should improve your win
percentage and increase your number of shutouts and no hitters
for experienced players.

We are currently transitioning our existing database based authentication to Active Directory. In the existing implementation, passwords are kept in clear-text in the database (I know this is bad, this is why we are transitioning). When a user logs into our client-side application (not a browser), the application hashes the password using an MD5 hash, and sends it to the server. The server queries the database for the login supplied, hashes the clear-text password, and compares the result.
Because this is a client side application, it takes time to upgrade all of our clients (could be months). So, we would like to support both authentication methods until clients are full transitioned over.
One way of doing this would be to have a single Active Directory user have two passwords, the real password, and an MD5 hash of the password. If they come in with either, they will be authenticated.
Can a single user support multiple passwords in Active Directory?
For example, can the real user Jon Smith have two sets of login passwords: 1. login = "jon", password = "pass1" 2. login = "jon", password = "pass2"
If Jon passes in either of these at login time, he will be successfully authenticated.

(Kenny Felt/Captured Images)
The game was played on a cold, rainy day on a muddy field and defense dominated a contest that saw 18 fumbles, 11 of those by Butler including one on a crucial fourth-down play with just over two minutes to go.
With the victory, Fort Scott is now 11-0, matching the record of the 1970 National Championship Team. This is the first time the Greyhounds have won a playoff championship since the system was established in Kansas in 1981.
(FSCC photo)
It was Butler's first loss in a playoff championship game since the 2000 season, when the Grizzlies lost in the finals at Garden City. They had won the last seven Kansas championship games in which they had appeared.
That 2000 season was also the last one in which Butler lost to the same team twice in one season as Garden City also won the regular-season meeting that year.
In the new National Junior College Athletic Association/jcfootball.com poll released Monday, the Greyhounds were rewarded for their effort as they were moved up to No. 1. Former No. 1 Navarro lost to No. 3 Blinn in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference Championship Game later in the day on Sunday. Blinn was moved up to No. 2.
Fort Scott scored first on quarterback Dominique Davis' 5-yard bootleg with 14 seconds left in the first quarter. Davis was wide open as he ran around the right side of the line as the Grizzlies keyed on tailback Jasmin Hopkins, who had carried the ball on all but one play of the quarter up to that point.
That drive was set up when Butler punter Logan Ortiz was able to kick the ball just 29 yards into a strong southerly wind, setting Fort Scott up on its own 49-yard line. Hopkins gained 14 yards on a 3rd-and-6 play at the Butler 47 and set up Davis' touchdown with a 20-yard romp on 3rd-and-2 at the 25.
On the very first play of Butler's enduing drive, which was also the last play of the first quarter, Omar Leftwich intercepted Butler quarterback Ross Dausin. But the Greyhounds were not able to move the ball and went three-and-out. Butler took over at the Fort Scott 44 and got some help when the 'Hounds were called for pass interference on 3rd-and-2 at the 36. The spot foul at the 30 kept the Grizzly drive alive. Two plays later, Dausin found Arrison Davis for a 26-yard gain to the 4.
Two plays after that, Butler fullback Dalando Henderson got Butler (8-3) on the board with a 1-yard plunge with 11:14 left in the second quarter. Ortiz's extra-point kick was blocked.
The Grizzlies took advantage of a Fort Scott turnover deep in its own territory to take the lead later in the period as Dausin found tight end Jordan Voekler in the back of the end zone with 6:58 left in the half. A bad snap resulted in another failed conversion so Butler's lead was 12-7.
Turnovers and defense dominated the second half. The Grizzlies were held to 33 total yards, all rushing, in the second half while the 'Hounds managed just 67 total yards themselves.
The conditions led Sims' offensive staff to put the games in the hands of Hopkins and the offensive line. The Jayhawk Conference Offensive Player of the Year, carried the ball 42 times for 157 yards for the 'Hounds, who ran 58 plays and threw just 3 passes. Fort Scott rushed for 156 of its 164 total yards.
There were many plays where Fort Scott used two tight ends and two blocking backs for Hopkins in an attempt to maintain field position and wear down Butler's line.
Butler gained just 111 total yards and was held to 56 yards on 57 rushes. The Greyhounds sacked Dausin 6 times for 46 yards in losses. Anthony White sacked Dausin three times for 26 yards and LaVonte David got to him twice for another 16 yards.
Dausin finished 4 of 14 passing for 55 yards, with all four completions coming in the first half. He failed to complete any of his last 8 passes, one of which was intercepted by linebacker Sam Quilice.
Fort Scott improved its record to 11-5 against ranked teams during Sims' three-year tenure. Sims, the Jayhawk Conference Coach of the Year, has not lost to a top-10 ranked team at home.
"It's easy to be Coach of the Year when you have Jasmine Hopkins, LaVonte David, Yoshi (Jermarcus Hardrick) and all these guys who have worked hard since July," Sims said. "I just think it must be our year because it happened for us today."

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Boy, I sure hope this is coherent.
I was watching Fight Club the other night, because Fight Club is freakin' awesome. My wife didn't want to put one of the kids to bed because she was watching Fight Club, because she also believes that it's freakin' awesome. I said to her that not only is it a great movie, it's one of those movies that I can't even conceive of someone not liking. She agreed. This is why we have a perfect marriage.
Then I was reading some reviews over at The Savage Critic(s). I enjoy reading the reviews at The Savage Critic(s), because they're always pretty interesting, even Abhay's (which often become incoherent). But it's rare that I find something that I want to buy simply because they tell me to buy it. I always read Chris Sims' The Week in Ink, because it's the face-kickingest review on the comics blogaxy!  But again, I don't think Sims influences me in any real way. I like his reviews because he's very funny. Jog, of course, is probably the gold standard when it comes to reviews on-line. I often zip over to Spot's World or Comics Fairplay (Heidi buys way too many comics that she doesn't like, but her posts are oddly compelling) or any number of other comic book blogs that focus on reviews. It's not that I'm really expecting anything earth-shattering, but I do wonder if there are people who like what I like or, if they like something I don't (or vice versa), why we're at odds. But it's rare to find something I don't know about or haven't at least thought about reading.
So why do I review comics, especially those I buy on weekly basis? I'm not terribly good at it, for any number of reasons. I probably write them up too quickly and so I miss things that I would usually catch on a second or third reading. I don't know enough about art to really give it a fair review (some people would say I don't know enough about writing to give that a fair review, but I don't think that's true), and occasionally I simply provide a plot summary. Most of this has to do with the time in which I do them, because I like to get them up soon after they're released. The longer reviews I do, for bigger works and for Comics You Should Own, I think work better, because I take the time to go over them several times to make sure I'm not missing anything (and I still make mistakes, but oh well). The weekly reviews are a bit of a different animal, though.
What I try to do with the weekly reviews is simply tell people who read this blog what's out there, give a basic summary (if it's something that is new or somewhat obscure) and give my basic impressions of the issue. The reason I do that is to let people know if there's something out there that they might enjoy but haven't heard of yet. It's surprising to me, when I talk to some people at my comics shoppe, how few of them even dare try something outside of Big Two Superhero Books. Not only haven't they heard of something as relatively mainstream as, say, Dynamo 5, but they won't even try it after the concept is explained to them. It's a frickin' superhero comic, for crying out loud! I realize that reviews don't really sway many people, but I also know that people have left comments here that they were encouraged to try something just because I let them know it existed. I'm not singling myself out, either – everyone who posts here has had that kind of effect on at least one person. Heck, I bought Kampung Boy and Alias the Cat because MarkAndrew gushed about them (I think he did – his writing is Burroughs-like, so I'm often too bedazzled by what he writes to fully comprehend it). That's why reviews are helpful – not to get you to buy something you're not inclined to buy (although some reviewers probably believe that), but to let you know that there are things out there that might align with your tastes. If you like Fantastic Four, you might like Noble Causes but not know it exists. If you saw Frazer Irving's art on Silent War and wanted to see more of it, you might like to check out Gutsville or The Simping Detective. If you never thought philosophy could be interesting or fun, you definitely should read Action Philosophers! Some people have read it and not liked it, and that's fine – at least they checked it out. There are people out there who never heard of the comic, and that's a shame. That's really all I'm doing with reviews: giving you a general idea what it's about and whether it's written decently and drawn competently, and let you decide. That's all I can do, really.
Which brings me, sort of, back to Fight Club. I first saw David Fincher's masterpiece in Portland in 1999 at one of the excellent brew pubs/movie theaters that sprinkle the landscape in the Rose City (or at least did back then – I haven't lived there since 2001). So we drank some beer, ate some pizza, and marveled at the movie. It's one of those movies that I can watch over and over – we bought the DVD and watched the commentary more than once, for crying out loud. It's so much better than the book, too, which is kind of astonishing (and the book is decent, just not in the same league as the movie). I admit, I'm a fan of Fincher – I actually like Alien³, and Seven is another one of those movies I could watch over and over – so I'm not surprised I love Fight Club so much. I'm stunned whenever I watch the movie. The three leads give unbelievable performances (I'd say they've never been better, but they're all very good actors who have done a lot of good work), the direction is staggering, the script is brilliant (and Bonham Carter's ad-libbed line, "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school," might be the greatest line in movie history), even the clothes are great (I would kill for Brad Pitt's wardrobe in the movie, although I'm not cool enough to pull most of it off). The twist is surprising but not out of left field, and it follows through to its logical conclusion (with regard to Project Mayhem's plot, not Edward Norton shooting himself – I'm still not clear how that worked). In fact, I can't even comprehend how people can't love Fight Club as much as I do. What's wrong with those people? (I feel this way about a few movies, including The Fisher King – damn, what a great movie – and The Usual Suspects, but Fight Club happened to be on when I started this post, so it became the comparison movie.)
However, I recognize that, as misguided as they are, there are people who don't like Fight Club. I may pity them because they don't recognize true greatness, but I have to admit they exist. I also recognize that good reviews of the movie will probably not change their minds. The only way I can imagine people not liking Fight Club is because they haven't seen it yet. Maybe they don't know of it, and must be told about it! It's the same way with comics. There are plenty of comics that I like but realize why others might not. Some people just aren't into superheroes, so no matter how good a superhero comic is, they just aren't interested. Others don't like certain genre types, like science fiction, so they just won't like that. I get it. Most serial comics can be hit-or-miss, even the ones I like a lot. Every writer or artist might simply have a bad issue or be bound by the terms of the bigger company crossover or just general editorial constraint. So I'm usually not to baffled if someone dislikes a monthly comic I like. When some people don't like certain graphic novels, however, I'm stymied. Three books this year are so good I can't believe people would read them and not enjoy them: Alice in Sunderland (review here), Exit Wounds (review here, way at the bottom of the post), and Super Spy (review here). I know those are the trendy picks of a lot of people for best graphic novels of the year, and there's a reason: they're excellent. I get that Alice in Sunderland is a bit didactic, which might put people off, but the art is so spectacular that it makes up for it, and Talbot's "story," while more of a lecture, is so interesting and conspiratorial (in that everything ties back into the north-east of England somehow) that we can forgive the lack of a traditional narrative plot. It is 30 dollars, which is steep, but you can probably find it cheaper on-line. Exit Wounds and Super Spy are also brilliant, in their own ways, and are much cheaper than Talbot's epic. As with Fight Club, the only reason I can think of that people wouldn't love these comics is that they haven't read them. And if they haven't read them, it's possible they haven't heard of them. All we're doing here at the blog is bringing stuff to your attention. It's terribly fun to open up a discussion of "One More Day," but it doesn't give you any reason to seek out new comics. I do like reviewing stuff that everyone reads, because then the opinions come fast and furious and more people chime in. It's fun, because the more people who read something, the more opinions they have. However, the most gratifying comments are when someone writes that they had never heard of something and they want to check it out now. We here at the blog have all gotten those comments, and I hope I'm speaking for everyone when I say those are really cool. Similarly, I have heard of some comics from commenters here or reviewers at other sites that I have sought. And everyone is happier for it!
I guess I don't have much more of a point. Yes, I'm aware that I take a long time to state a simple truth. But that's what I do, right? It's very cool to have conversations (such as they are) about various comics here, because out here in the Basin, you don't often run into people who look too far beyond whatever the Avengers are up to this week (there are a few, true, but it's always nice to get a wider range of opinions). So I'll keep reviewing almost everything I read, because I think it's good to get the word out about all kinds of comics. Grass-roots movements will eventually end superheroes' stranglehold on the industry! (Okay, maybe not, but it's nice to dream.) And I hope 2008 is another good year in comics. There's no need to be grumpy, because there's too much good stuff out there!
At last!!!
Someone who thinks Se7en is a classic!!!
Way to go!
Tell me, did you like Zodiac?
there are people who don't think Seven is a classic?
Alas, Tom, the children and a dearth of babysitters means that we don't go see movies very much anymore, so I missed Zodiac, even though I was dying to see it. I'm looking forward to it showing up on HBO or some other cable channel in the near future (it should be about time, unless I missed it). I heard a lot of good things about it.
Great post. I have discovered a wide range of things I really enjoy by reading CSBG, the ISB, and Dave's Longbox.
I love Fight Club, but I'm not such a big fan of Se7en. Everything about it is incredibly well executed – great acting, great directing, etc. But, when all is said and done, what's the point? (Love it or hate it, that's not a criticism that can at leveled Fight Club, IMO.) I love dark stories that have underlying themes that make you think, but Se7en didn't really seem to be intended as anything but entertainment. (Maybe the theme was that Kevin Spacey is evil? I don't know.)
I'll just continue swimming against the current here and say that Exit Wounds was a huge disappointment – about five or ten pages from the end it felt like the writer gave up. The whole wrap-up to the story was really weak, and left me baffled, considering how good it was up to that point.
I'm curious if you've read Cairo (I can't remember if you reviewed it or not) but that might be my pick for graphic novel of the year.
My library system just got Alice in Sunderland and I was first to get it out after waiting and waiting since your review and others which corroborated it. I'm completely agreed on all your points on Alice. It's amazing how much it demands your near total absorption despite how relatively didactic it can be at times.
Exit Wounds I liked but not nearly as much as others seem to like it. I can't explain why.
I never talk comics with anyone except for the little I do on this here blog.
I was watching Fight Club the other night, because Fight Club is freakin' awesome. My wife didn't want to put one of the kids to bed because she was watching Fight Club, because she also believes that it's freakin' awesome. I said to her that not only is it a great movie, it's one of those movies that I can't even conceive of someone not liking. She agreed. This is why we have a perfect marriage.
Ahhh, this is why, despite us having nothing in common on the surface, I ultimately like and respect you Burgas. I truly judge people on how much they like Fight Club. In fact, I usually find that whenever I find someone to be insufferable or dickish and I;m not exactly sure why we can't get along, I probe further and find out that they hate Fight Club. Then that explains everything. People who don't like Fight Club are like the lowest of the low.
I totally agree with you that Fight Club is extraordinary. If you can believe at the first time I wasn't really watching the screen (rather cleaning and reviewing my stuff) because I didn't even know anything about it. But after awhile the more I listened to what E. Norton was saying the longer I stared at my TV to see what was going on. Of course after that I went outside and let some three bastards beat me up a little to check how it feels.
I can tell you Zodiac wasn't bad, considering it was based on a true story, but far too long for my taste. Fincher was trying to be as faithful to the story as possible.
Comparing it to Se7en, Fight Club, Panic Room, The Game, Alien3, well, let's say that Zodiac is far less entertaining and very little action.
If you're a history or true-life story buff, then it's right up your alley!
BTW, Mr. Burgas, Zodiac's available on DVD, if you're allowed to rent them.
T.: You know I think you're cool, even though you're kooky! That's a great way to judge people: "Do you like Fight Club?"
Ah, Tyson, I will struggle to understand you! I did like Cairo very much, and would probably put it up there with those other three. I reviewed it here, but it kind of got lost in The Goon and Black Dossier reviews.
Tom: that's good to know. I hadn't seen a commercial for it coming out on DVD. Now I'll definitely have to check it out!
Briefly on the topic of "do reviews make people buy books?"
In my case, yes. But not yours. To clarify, yours are fine, but no single review will make me buy a book. I have a set of regular reviewers who I follow and whose tastes generally overlap with mine, if 2 or 3 or more of you agree, I know I'm onto something.
Without reviewers like you, my dollars would be blindly spent based on marketing dollars, knowledge of a product, or the opportunity to hold and read a bit of the book in question. And I live in the boonies of northern Canada, so no comic shop within spitting distance (2.5 hours west, 4.5 hours east).
So, please, continue with the knowledge that you can and do make a difference to my spending dollars.
Oh, and i couldn't stand seven – seemed like it pandered too often . Went for the easy cinematic trick over something interesting and clever. But it was a while ago… But Fight Club and Usual Suspects: genius.
Keep it up; thanks,
That came across a bit harsh, when I was going for clever (I never learn). I was trying to say that no SINGLE reviewer matters particularly much, so "you don't matter". But to be clear, YOU do matter – I follow what you say and consider it.
Just want to make sure that you don't think that I don't like and appreciate the work. I do. I just cannot (apparently) write particularly clearly after a few drinks…
A thread like this just forces the contrairian in me to mention that I don't especially like Fight Club that much. I don't especially hate it, but I found it even harder not to laugh at than the ridiculously over-the-top Sesevenen.
Also, if you sincerely judge people based on their taste in movies… man, it sucks to be you. Some of the most interesting people I've ever met don't even watch movies. Oh well, enjoy agreeing with each other, I guess.
The twist is surprising but not out of left field, and it follows through to its logical conclusion (with regard to Project Mayhem's plot, not Edward Norton shooting himself – I'm still not clear how that worked).
(Should i say SPOILER WARNING here?)
I've thought about that part a lot too, one explanation might be that by shooting himself he finally embraces the fatalistic side of his personality Tyler Durden sprung from. He susrvives the shooting by missing his brain, Tyler does not because he is now merged back into the overall personality. In the shot when he sees the towers drop he knows he can't stop it, but I also think he doesn't care about that anymore, he's just enjoying the fireworks and therefore doesn't 'need' Tyler anymore.
By the way, Lynxara, I think you're taking 'judging people by taste in moviers' a bit too literally. I took it as slightly tongue in cheek, at least.
@Tyson: I've read Cairo and thought it was entertaining but seriously, best OGN of the year? Sentences, which came out around the same time at Vertigo is much better in plotting and character development imo and has some astonishing artwork. I liked Cairo but the story felt very rushed to me, the kid is thinking about blowing himself up but wanders around with a magical sword for a couple of days and suddenly he's a peace-loving guru? The transition was a bit forced, same thing with the journalist and the student. The place where the character development did feel natural was with the smuggler and the Israeli soldier, I think the book excelled in those parts.
Anyone read the first volume of 'Tales From The Farm' by Jeff Lemure? I'd never heard of him but that was one of the most pleasant surprises in comics for me this year. Very impressive OGN from Top Shelf about a farmer and his nephew who comes to live with him after his sister (the nephew's mother) dies.
Also, if you sincerely judge people based on their taste in movies… man, it sucks to be you. Some of the most interesting people I've ever met don't even watch movies. Oh well, enjoy agreeing with each other, I guess.
I don't judge people by their taste in movies that much, just by their opinion on Fight Club in particular, which is more than just a movie. We can disagree on movies till the cows come home and that's fine, but when someone says they hated Fight Club or it had no redeeming qualities, I steer clear of them.
As for the people who are interesting but don't watch movies, I would not judge them because they'd have no opinion on Fight Club, having never seen it. But if I showed the movie to them and they hated it, our association would be over.
I saw Fight Club with a friend of mine, and we ended up talking about it for hours. There are only 3 or 4 other movies that can prompt that level of conversation.
Unfortunately, that means I broke the first rule and talked about Fight Club. They're coming for me.
Greg: I bought Elk's Run and Rex Mundi (is trade paperback #3 ever coming out?) based on your recommendations, and Stagger Lee because of a write-up it received on this blog. All 3 are excellent.
To Mike Loughlin:
For your info, Dark Horse just released Rex Mundi Vol. 4 last month (or year), and all 3 vols. should be available from your comiic shop's distributor.
Go forth, and enjoy reading!
Tom beat me to it, Mike, but yeah, the third and fourth volumes are out.
Mr. Witt: I knew what you meant, sir, and that's a good way to do it. I rarely base buying something on ONE review, unless it's someone I know shares my tastes almost exactly. That's why I'm glad there are a ton of review sites around – I might not get to them all, but usually I can get a well-rounded opinion about certain books. But I'm glad that I can help!
J: I have read Tales From the Farm, but haven't reviewed it yet. I'm waiting for the trilogy to be released. Ghost Stories is the second book, and it's also very good (slightly better than Tales From the Farm, if you ask me).
Apologies, I didn't mean to beat you to anything, after all it's your column.
[…] I couldn't agree more… Posted on January 2, 2008 by boxwatcher So I sit down to surf the net and I come across a link on Wednesdays haul for the comics blog Why Comics Should be Good.  I've never read it before but the title of the article is "Why review comics? or The Fight Club Syndrome".  I'm reading it and the writer, Greg Burgas, spends some time slurping the movie Fight Club.  I'm okay with it since I love that movie as much as the next guy.  But then he starts to getting to talking about his reviews and why he does it and he says this: That's why reviews are helpful – not to get you to buy something you're not inclined to buy (although some reviewers probably believe that), but to let you know that there are things out there that might align with your tastes. If you like Fantastic Four, you might like Noble Causes but not know it exists. If you saw Frazer Irving's art on Silent War and wanted to see more of it, you might like to check out Gutsville or The Simping Detective. If you never thought philosophy could be interesting or fun, you definitely should read Action Philosophers! Some people have read it and not liked it, and that's fine – at least they checked it out. There are people out there who never heard of the comic, and that's a shame. That's really all I'm doing with reviews: giving you a general idea what it's about and whether it's written decently and drawn competently, and let you decide. That's all I can do, really.  […]
I really enjoyed Fight Cluhb, but no force on earth will convince my wife to even try it.
As for Alice in Sunderland – I'm torn. On one had everyone says it's fantastic. On the other hand it looks just like the sort of thing I really hate. I don't really like Talbot's art, and out of the works of his I've read (His LoTDK two parter, Luther Arkwright, Legacy of Luther Arkwright and A Tale of One Bad Rat), the only one I liked at all was The Legacy of Luther Arkwright which I thought was merely not bad. Also it looks like a hell of a lot of work for something that I won't really like (as opposed to Hush which I didn't expect to like much, but breezed by inconsequentially enough that I didn't mind not liking it much)
Maybe one day if I see it going for under a fiver I'll pick it up so it can sit in my to-read pile for a few years.
Actually, Fight Club did very poorlt at the box office, so, in theory, there are millions of people that dislike it. I have no idea what's going on inside their minds.
Those millions who didn't see it can't be counted as people who disliked it.
I would love to sit down with all of you and explain precisely why 'Fight Club' is not a particularly good movie, but, since I know that you won't listen, I'd prefer to laugh at the idea that it is being discussed in this article as if it is remotely obscure.
I like how most of the comments here have been about Fight Club. I think it's a terrific film. I didn't like The Usual Suspects.
Anyway, I agree with you about reviews– and may I add that I find your reviews particularly helpful in this day and age, especially since I rarely get out to a comic shop on anything resembling a normal schedule. And yes, sometimes I feel like we're all kinda preaching to the choir– because there's a lot of people out there who buy comics and don't ever venture into the comics interweb. Alas.
Tom – Thanks! I'll have to order vols. 3 & 4.
Tyler had taken control of the narrator's life. The narrator was living a life without meaning and his subconscious used Tyler (his id) as a means to create meaning and purpose in his life (which turned out to be a violent rejection of the possessions that were substituting for meaning in his life). The narrator shooting himself is an existential act proving that he has control over his own actions (even if that act had caused his death, it would have been the final proof that he was in control). In doing this, the narrator has confronted and assumed full responsibility for his actions (those that he did as Tyler) and the repercussions of those actions. Once the narrator knows and accepts the actions as his own, it is immediately clear that Tyler does not exist.
I would love to sit down with all of you and explain precisely why 'Fight Club' is not a particularly good movie, but, since I know that you won't listen, I'd prefer to laugh at the idea that it is being discussed in this article as if it is remotely obscure.
I'm laughing at the idea that you somehow think someone here actually said it was remotely obscure.
In regards to whether a review does or does not make me buy a comic, a bad review will keep me away (if it's not in my pull box), but a good review won't mean I'll pick it up. It's a combination of remembering to look for something as well as limited income. Maybe the new Uncanny X-Men was meh, it'll still be purchased because I needs to know what happens. For me. At the same time, I know Scott Pilgrim is awesome because everyone tells me so. I do not yet own it. Tear.
In regards to Fight Club, I thought it was amazing when I saw it at 17. Rewatching it at 24, it was pretty much all flash. Snazzy camera angles cannot fix the fact that what it is about isn't what it is about. I applaud Chuck Palahniuk for succeeding in making the gayest big hollywood movie five years before Brokeback Mountain(great movie!). Fight Club seems at odds with it's point. Do we agree with Tyler Durden's half baked "How do you know yourself till you've been in a fight" philosophy? It all sounds a little "Sophomore year roommate" to me. Because the ending(spoiler) with the toppling buildings strikes me sadly naive. A more interesting movie would have dealt with the fall out of such a huge disaster. What did Ebert say about Fight Club? Oh yes:
"It's macho porn — the sex movie Hollywood has been moving toward for years, in which eroticism between the sexes is replaced by all-guy locker-room fights.
"Is Tyler Durden in fact a leader of men with a useful philosophy? "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything," he says, sounding like a man who tripped over the Nietzsche display on his way to the coffee bar in Borders. In my opinion, he has no useful truths. He's a bully–Werner Erhard plus S & M, a leather club operator without the decor. None of the Fight Club members grows stronger or freer because of their membership; they're reduced to pathetic cultists. Issue them black shirts and sign them up as skinheads. Whether Durden represents hidden aspects of the male psyche is a question the movie uses as a loophole–but is not able to escape through, because "Fight Club" is not about its ending but about its action."
Ebert goes on to ask whether the film disagrees with Tyler Durden. Clearly on paper Durden is the villain, but on film, played by Brad Pitt, he's much more appealing. I guess that's a good performance if you can make people agree with an ideological stance that they'd completely shun if presented with in their real lives.
That said, it isn't the worst thing ever. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton have since moved on to better films, and Fincher's Zodiac stands as a career defining triumph. But frankly, Fight Club is vastly overrated.
Fight Club in particular, which is more than just a movie.
You're right. It's a book, too.
But other than that? No, it's not anything more.
This thread is a good example of the reason why rules 1 and 2 exist.
Fight Club in particular, which is more than just a movie.
You're right. It's a book, too.
But other than that? No, it's not anything more.
I feel the same way about comics.
When FIGHT CLUB first came out in theaters, I was there on opening night with two good friends, my girl, and one of her friends. Halfway through the movie both of my good friends walked out, my girl was bored out of her mind, and her friend was asleep.
Me? I was on the edge of my seat, enjoying every damn detail of that movie. Needless to say, that girl and I didn't last together much longer, lol.
I feel the same way about comics.
Oh snap, it's an "apathy-off!"
I feel the same way about comics.
All comics? I would have to disagree. Art can be more than entertainment, Fight Club just isn't. Its "philosophy" is short-sighted and nonsensical.
lol, I hope it was obvious I was amping up my snark there. I hate it when people tell me something I loved was crap. I've grown up, but The Crow and The Matrix and Edward Scissorhands still have a lot of emotional resonance. Ditto Se7en (although that version of the title deserves some derision) and Fight Club. I didn't change my life philosophy after watching them, but they were "heavy" (See Back to the Future for context) in my world view. I don't know what kind of joyless asshat you have to be to dump on something that was significant to someone else, but after spelunking through comic book forums the last year or two, I'm starting to get the picture…
Kudos to Greg for a great post.
And Brian, thanks for fixing my code again. Can you point me at the secret web page where the correct syntax for that kind of stuff is? I'm just smart enough to believe there is such a place, but too inept to find it.
I don't know what kind of joyless asshat you have to be to dump on something that was significant to someone else
The problem here is not people who dislike things that other people like. It's people who get offended because someone else doesn't like what they do. Art criticism shouldn't be taken personally by anyone, though the artist has the only real excuse for it. After all, they're the only person the art represents.
If it hurts your feelings that I don't like Fight Club, the problem isn't on my part.
I'm of two minds there, Dan.
I totally think it is wholly unreasonable for people to get personally insulted when someone rips something they enjoy.
That said, if you know that knocking something in a certain manner WILL offend people, and you can knock the book with all the same points, but in a manner that will NOT offend people, I do not know if it is not worth putting the extra effort in and framing your knock in a manner that will not offend.
It's what I try to do, at least.
Your retort smacked of trolling. Trolls are asshats in my book. If that qualification offends you, the problem isn't on my part.
I think there's a happy medium between, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Fight Club is nothing more than a book and movie" and "ZOMG FIGHT CLUB IS EVERYTHING I'M GOING TO GO ASK SOMEONE TO PUNCH ME NOW, W00T". If you want to further argue this, see my previous comment about trolling asshats.
And someone warn me if I'm overusing the word asshat here. I know this is supposed to be semi-family friendly, but I just don't feel words on the level of "jerk" convey my point well enough.
I would recommend that everyone who commented on Fight Club the movie read the original Palahniuck book. If you think you love the movie and haven't read the novel it's based on, then you're missing the real twist ending, which is much more complicated than the way depicted in the film.
I would also remind everyone that Fight Club is about fatherless manboys who, with no war of their own to fight, end up beating themselves up. It's more than just a movie or a book, it's a cultural time capsule.
Thanks for mentioning my blog. It's nice to know that I do actually have some readers, and that some of those few are high-profile like you. I haven't posted lately because I've been playing too much Playstation, but look for some new reviews from me by the end of the week.
The twist is surprising but not out of left field, and it follows through to its logical conclusion (with regard to Project Mayhem's plot, not Edward Norton shooting himself – I'm still not clear how that worked).
Tyler had taken control of the narrator's life. The narrator was living a life without meaning and his subconscious used Tyler (his id) as a means to create meaning and purpose in his life (which turned out to be a violent rejection of the possessions that were substituting for meaning in his life). The narrator shooting himself is an existential act proving that he has control over his own actions (even if that act had caused his death, it would have been the final proof that he was in control). In doing this, the narrator has confronted and assumed full responsibility for his actions (those that he did as Tyler) and the repercussions of those actions. Once the narrator knows and accepts the actions as his own, it is immediately clear that Tyler does not exist.
When it comes to Fight Club as presented in the movie, it seems worth emphasizing that the first half of Edward Norton's journey takes place in the first 15 minutes: He can't sleep. He starts going to the 12-step survivor classes. He pretends to be a loser like all of the other survivors and cries with them. He sleeps better than a baby. Every night he dies and is reborn.
Reluctantly he is thrust back into the real world. Helena B. Carter shows up, and by getting in on Norton's action, someone else now knows what a faker he is. The experience is ruined for him. He can no longer sleep.
The cycle or death and rebirth is interrupted. When the other characters are confronted with their own mortality, with gun or with car, they know then what they want to do. Everyone knows except Edward Norton. This is the vacuum in Norton from which Brad Pitt emerges.
So, the next 2¼ hours of the movie is Norton's complex machinations to save the World as he himself was saved in his nightly resurrection. Brad Pitt is Destruction. Killing Brad Pitt is Resurrection. That's the point of Edward Norton shooting himself.
The Fight Club itself is merely Brad Pitt replicating the Cult of Consumerism, which he makes his means to save the world.
Hahahaha, I just *knew* Apocada would not be a fan of Fight Club. That just validates it more in my view.
>I don't judge people by their taste in movies that >much, just by their opinion on Fight Club in >particular, which is more than just a movie.
It's okay, I suppose…but it's no 'Condorman', or 'Hawk the Slayer', that's for sure!
Bilbo Bagshot: I once punched a guy out for saying that "Hawk the Slayer" was rubbish.
Tim Bisley: Good for you.
Bilbo Bagshot: Yeah, thanks. But that's not the point, Tim. The point is I was defending the fantasy genre with terminal intensity, when what I should have said was "Dad, you're right, but let's give Krull a try and we'll discuss it later."
"Krull" is pretty awesome also, it must be said.
Adam said: I would recommend that everyone who commented on Fight Club the movie read the original Palahniuck book. If you think you love the movie and haven't read the novel it's based on, then you're missing the real twist ending, which is much more complicated than the way depicted in the film.
Quoted for truth, as I always tell people the exact same thing. I love the Fight Club movie adnd thought they did a great job, but the ending in the book is far more interesting.
To keep the good will rolling may I just say that, until reading the post here, I had never heard of the Action Philosophers!
A quick minute, and a peak at the free teaser previews, later and I'm now another satisfied customer.
Thanks Greg for the sideways introduction!
Heck, I bought Kampung Boy and Alias the Cat because MarkAndrew gushed about them (I think he did – his writing is Burroughs-like, so I'm often too bedazzled by what he writes to fully comprehend it).
Hey. Thanks!
I think.
No problem, pspealman. Glad I could help!
And I liked both Kampung Boy and Alias the Cat, Mark, so you did a fine job convincing me to buy them.
For those wondering as to the lack of recent postings on my own site, I can explain: my wife has needed our router hooked up this past week or so. It seriously eats up my bandwidth. To the point that posting to Blogger becomes impossible.

Two new Amarillo apartment complexes, both targeting low- and moderate-income families, are planned for Amarillo. One apartment complex will be built in southwest Amarillo, and the second one is nearing completion in northeast Amarillo.
The Amarillo Planning and Zoning Commission and Amarillo City Commission have approved zoning a 13.55-acre tract of land on the west side of Coulter Street near Hillside to be the home of a 216-unit apartment complex, Calee Crossing.
Calee Crossings will set aside 75 percent of its 216 units for families and individuals below the city's median income, said Laurie Thomas, city of Amarillo chief planner. The complex will have a fitness room, swimming pool and playground.
City officials now are awaiting a plat to be submitted before the project moves forward, Thomas said.
Meanwhile, construction of the 160-unit Greentree Village apartment complex, Northeast 24th Avenue and Eastern Street, should be completed in the fall, said Kelly Hunt of the American Housing Foundation. The foundation, an Amarillo-based non-profit corporation, was started in 1989 by Steve Sterquell.
Greentree will have a clubhouse, a swimming pool and a community center. The project will set aside 75 percent of its 160 units for low- and moderate-income individuals and families, Hunt said.
Occupancy up
Amarillo and Canyon apartment occupancy increased during the past 12 months by more than 3 percent, or by an additional 410 rentals.
After two years of flat occupancy in the 92-plus percent range, occupancy increased to 95.7 percent, according to a report issued by William J. Chudej, president of the First Interstate Management Corp.
The year 2000 Amarillo/Canyon apartment survey was conducted during the first three months of 2000, Chudej said.
Jess Maddox has owned and operated the 12-unit Maddox Manner at 1613 Polk St. since he built the apartments in 1959. Maddox said his apartments have stayed full in recent years.
Amarillo and Canyon have 13,509 apartments, according to the survey. Of those, 12,512 were rented in 1999 - and 12,922 are rented now.
There has been less inflation in rents than in the cost of owning a home during the past three years, Chudej said, making some people choose to rent rather than own. That trend should continue through 2000, he said.
Thirty-year home mortgage rates have increased from 7.25 percent to 8.8 percent in one year, according to Amarillo National Bank rates.
As rents move upward and occupancies remain strong, potential developers will consider Amarillo for the new construction of apartments, Chudej said.
From 1999 to 2000, the average efficiency apartment in Amarillo remained priced at $316 a month, according to the First Interstate Management Corp. survey.
However, the average rent on one-bedroom apartments increased 3.7 percent, from $381 to $396; two bedrooms went up 3.5 percent, from $508 to $527; and three bedrooms up 1.6 percent, from $617 to $627.
Calee Crossings
To fill the need for quality affordable housing in Randall County, Calee Crossings will set aside 75 percent of its 216 units affordable to families or individual with incomes at or below 60 percent of the Amarillo metro statistical area's median income, Thomas said.
Amarillo developers Eddie Scott and Paul Fields applied for the zoning change for the new apartment complex on behalf of a Florida developer who has a deal pending to purchase the property.
The 216 units at Calee Crossings will be built in nine buildings. Each apartment will feature a cooking range, refrigerator, dishwasher, double-bowl stainless steel kitchen sink, garbage disposal, washer/dryer hook-up, mini-blinds, smoke detector, cable television hook-ups and central heat/air.

Stupor Bowl XL
I have been quoted here as saying, "I can get behind a winner." To clarify: There are many, many winners I cannot at all get behind, and even my propensity toward fair-weather sportsfanness is limited. I like spectator sports because and only because of my association of the spectating with snacks. I watched basketball with my dad for years, never registering a thing but deeply enjoying the popcorn; likewise, I read and ate peanuts at Mariners games. I missed Sunday's game, but I saw the terrifyingly enthused Seagulls fans on the 11 o'clock local news. They were distorted and drunken (the latter I'm generally for, but I prefer it unaccompanied by the former). The newscaster said of the stadium, "This must be what ancient Rome was like" (hmmm). Paul Allen, now our philosopher king, said something along the lines of "The fans have been incredible. It's such a moving experience… such warmth," upon which the newscaster commented, "Have you ever heard such eloquence?" Jesus FUCKING Christnot to mention now this man (who wants to go into space! Hello, people!) will literally (okay, only nearly literally) OWN this town ("Allentown"barf) as every mouth-breathing sports fan (sorry, Brad) wants to hand him even more of whatever he likes on an even shinier silver platter.
One of the 'Gulls, though, cutely said post-game, "WE'RE GOING BOWLING!"
Please pass the popcorn.

Released: Jun 01st, 1999
Running Time: 55
Director: Josh Elliot
Company: DG Distributors
Cast: Liz (I), Tylor, Alexus, Blake (I), Flower (II)
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Alternative
A guy goes to Miami and engages an escort service to send a girl over. She comes over, does a striptease, get dressed, chats with the guy a little, and does another strip. They never go out, and he doesn't laid. (Laid? He doesn't get seen.) Repeat four times, for a total of five scenes.
In other hands, this could be a tragedy, or a comedy of errors/miscues. As it is, it's formula softcore with no surprises or particular thrills. Full nudity, no sex.
A guy with a pocket protector and a note from his parents saying it's okay for him to rent porno will probably find this hot stuff. If you do well with Playboy tapes and other softcore, you'll do okay with this.

I'm loving the Turkish cinema, but I'm wondering why Turkey was/is such a hotbed for this kind of plageristic masterpiece. It's a secular country, open to the West, etc-- couldn't they get the normal Wizard of Oz and Star Wars like everybody else? Is there some reason the Turks wanted to see half-rate copies of Western movies instead of the real thing? Just curious.
The hum bao hoax was awfully easy to believe. That stuff just ain't natural, although it is mighty tasty.

would u fail a drug test using this cough medicine
Is benzonatate an opiate?

No it is not an opiate. I don't think "BRAND NAME: Tessalon Perles" will cause any problems. I always try to remember any prescription or OTC drugs I am taking at the time of my test. I don't remember that cough med even making me sleepy when taking it along with my other meds.
However some cough medicines can cause a "red flag" on a drug test depending on the ingredients in the cough medicine. The last drug test I took, I happened to remember I had taken NyQuil for a cough/cold. Sure enough, the alcohol came back on the drug test.
Remember when you are tested to give a list of any over the counter or prescribed drugs you are taking or have taken. That way there will be a record if something shows up that could be questioned.

I am running a WP install on an AWS EC2 instance and I am afraid I don't have php or apache set up correctly. Could this be contributing to getting the FTP error every time I try to upload or install a theme/plugin from the dashboard (even happens when I try to delete a plugin)??

All of my permissions are set to WP standards. Could it be that they are still too restrictive?
Please help, I'd certainly appreciate it!
