Details of Gordon Lightfoot and the Ticket Luck value
Regarded as a folk-rock legend, Gordon Lightfoot was destined to be one of the greatest musicians the moment he stepped into the field of music. His deep voice and folk-based twelve-string acoustic guitar are key features of his distinctive sound. The Canadian singer-songwriter incorporates folk, pop, folk-rock and country music in his works and has also been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter. In his utterly successful career span of over sixty years he has delivered number one hit singles such as If You Could Read My Mind, Meand Bobby McGee, Beautiful, You are What I Am, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Sundown, Dream Street Rose etc. To his fans and all the musicians who have grown up listening to his music he is a living legend. So join Gordon Lightfoot live in concert by purchasing Gordon Lightfoot tickets to listen to his all time greatest hits.
Ray Williams, Gordon's mentor plays an integral part of his success and recognition. He nudged him in the right direction and helped him believe in himself to beat the odds and lead the way. He instructed him to sing his heart out while encouraging him to accept his one-of-a-kind voice. Thus, Gordon Lightfoot was a star right from the beginning. He performed in local operettas and oratorios while creating an impact at Kiwanis music festivals. It was during his time in high school when he developed an affinity for folk music. He also studied jazz compositions and orchestration. Pete Seeger, Bob Gibson, Ian and Sylvia Tyson, and The Weavers were among his folk influences. However, 1960s opened doors for Gordon's instant superstardom. He performed with the Swinging Eight and Gino Silvi Singers and became the headliner in Toronto coffee houses in the blink of an eye.
In the year 1962, he released two singles which gave an extra boost to his status while establishing him as star in Toronto. (Remember Me) I'm the One hit the third place on CHUM radio and was among the top 20 hits on Montreal's CKGM (a popular Canadian Top 40 radio Station). Negotiations/It's Too Late was the second single which reached the twenty-seventh spot on CHUM. These hit singles laid an unbreakable foundation as from then on it was only an uphill ride. Moreover, he recorded a live album with Terry Whelan called Two-Tones at the Village Corner. 1963 he hosted a TV show titled Country and Western Show which added to his already soaring career. The next year he appeared at The Mariposa Folk Festival in which again he emerged as a successful performer. Thus, it was during that time that he made his presence known as songwriter and helped many recording artists make a name. Marty Robbins, Leroy Van Dyke, Judy Collins, Richie Havens, Spyder Turner, The Kingston Trio are all among those who owe their recognition to Gordon Lightfoot in producing the unforgettable such as Ribbon of Darkness, I'm Not Saying, Early Morning Rain, For Loving Me and I Can't Take Make It.
Gordon Lightfoot has also been the man behind some of the world's highly acclaimed recording artists; Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Toby Keith, George Hamilton IV, Anne Murray being only a handful among many.
When it comes to listing Gordon's list of albums or defining his illustrious career one feels at a loss for words as the list is endless and his accomplishments are beyond one's imagination. The living legend has sold more than seven million records all across the world and has nineteen studio albums and fourteen compilation albums to date. Ha has also been credited for producing forty-six singles which even some of the most established musicians only hope to achieve. Among his albums, Summertime Dream was certified Gold by both Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA); East of Midnight was certified Gold by CRIA, Endless Wire and Sit Down Young Stranger were certified Gold by RIAA whereas Sundown received the Platinum status by RIAA. Furthermore Harmony ended up at number thirty-five on U.S. Top Independent Albums.
To get the privilege of seeing Gordon Lightfoot perform live, buy Gordon Lightfoot tickets which are worth every penny.

reusable bags
When going green may not be the healthiest choice
Environmentalists constantly chide us about using plastic or paper grocery bags. "Wasteful" and "bad for the environment" are only two of the criticisms leveled at those of us who use plastic or paper.
But new evidence is emerging that the preferred alternative of the environmental crowd – reusable grocery bags – may not the best or healthiest choice for their family or the environment. In another instance of the law of unintended consequences asserting itself, a person's attempt to "save the planet" may, in fact, sicken their family and increase their "carbon footprint".
A recent study found the reusable grocery bags used to carry groceries were loaded with bacteria. Researchers found that people rarely if ever wash their reusable bags. Consequently the tested bags had large colonies of bacteria present. Tests of new plastic or reusable bags found no bacteria present. Included in the bacteria found in some of the used bags tested was the E. coli bacteria (12%). Salmonealla was also present.
All this points to an obvious health hazard for the family. Some would like to ignore it, claiming that the study was funded by a chemical company with ties to the plastic industry and therefore not to be taken seriously. But, as with most arguments of this nature, the proof is in whether the science is good and the findings valid. Reading the study both the science and the findings seem good and valid.
Recently Theresa Marchetta, a Denver, CO reporter, decided to find out for herself. She took a number of used reusable bags to an infectious disease specialist at the University of Colorado Hospital.
Marchetta took the lab results to Dr. Michelle Barron, the infectious disease expert at the University of Colorado Hospital.
"Wow. Wow. That is pretty impressive," said Barron.
Barron examines lab results for a living.
"Oh my goodness! This is definitely the highest count," Barron commented while looking at the bacteria count numbers.
She admitted she was shocked at what was found at the bottom of the bags.
"We're talking in the million range of bacteria," she said.
Marchetta used swabs provided by a local lab to test several grocery bags for bacteria, mold and yeast.
Three of the samples had relatively low bacteria counts, posing little risk of causing illness. Two were in the moderate range, posing some risk, according to Barron. Two other bags had extremely high counts — 330,000 to nearly 1 million colonies of bacteria. Four of the samples also had relatively high levels of yeast and mold.
While that certainly validated the study's results, another aspect of Marchetta's visit to Barron's lab was just as revealing:
To demonstrate the risk, Marchetta dusted grocery bags with a substance that glows in the dark to see how harmful germs can travel.
With the lights off, it was clear the Glo-Germ had not only stuck to our groceries, it was also on Marchetta's hands, the counter top, and in the cupboard and refrigerator.
"They like porous surfaces and live longer on plastic," said Barron, about the bacteria.
Of course, the majority of reusable bags are woven polypropylene. Plastic.
Barron concludes:
"It would be a level of concern getting on your food, on your hands, too," said Barron. "Digging in there, you touch, rub your eyes …all that good stuff."
"You can have a terrible diarrhea, stomach ache, vomiting. Not a fun thing to have," said Barron.
Or worse if the bacteria is E. Coli.
The solution is to wash the bags after each use. Researchers found that removes about 99% of the bacteria. But that sort of defeats the whole purpose of the reusable bag. It means using the cleansing and bacteria killing effect of laundry detergent. That means introducing phosphates into waste water which, environmentalists will tell you, leads to algae bloom which kills fish and plants. And then there's the increased carbon footprint that washing the bags brings. Research has revealed that a single load of laundry can emit 1.3 to 1.9 pounds of carbon, depending on what form of detergent is used. If you have to wash your bags once a week, you can do the math.
If all of that's a concern then one has to ask, what advantage is there to using reusable bags? A person concerned with the environmental impact of using plastic bags is either stuck with risking the health of their family or increasing their carbon footprint and contaminating the water supply.
A true "environmentalist's" dilemma.

"Millions of young people are having their right to a world-class education violated every day, writes sociologist Peter W. Cookson Jr, president of Ideas Without Borders, in The Quick and the Ed. Common standards will advance equal educational opportunity, he argues.
Cookson studied five high schools serving "very different economic and social communities."
If a student is not lucky enough to attend a high school located in an upper-middle or middle-class neighborhood, he or she is likely to get a watered-down, uninspiring, and inadequate set of academic choices—often taught in a hit-or-miss manner. If a student attends a school in an area of concentrated poverty, his or her course of study often consists of worksheets, out-of-date textbooks, and more worksheets.
Common Core State Standards won't solve the problem, but it will help, Cookson believes.

share your ambitions/goals/training here on a 'newbie ultra' thread........
after running for 2 years im really keen to get into the wonderful world of ultra running. have heard so many lovely and great things about the groups that do these distances and wondered how many others would like a 'newbie ultra' thread...
..im wanting to do JW ultra next year and have been looking at the Gloucester 50k...anyone else starting out in 'ultra world' and have a goal or ultra in their diary already?.......anyone experiencing mind boggling training and problems fitting in time to do it? im sure this will be one of my main problems.......
hands up who has done their first ultra and loved it-share it please
I am about to undertake my seventh ultra, but you never forget the first.
The feeling of fulfilment on finishing your first is proportional to the challenge involved. You know that you have done something that relatively few runners in the U.K have done. You just don't get that sense of satisfaction from running a half marathon.
Also you will never find a friendlier more inclusive group of people to run with. The nature of ultras and the pace they are run at makes them much more social events.
Be forewarned however that they are very addictive. Once you have done one you will almost certainly want to do another!
JG.. this is one id like to do too...maybe not for a first ultra though........heat+distance=tricky!lol
ben, i know once ive done one i will be doing another, i have that sort of addictive nature....and yes ive heard that the groups are very sociable and close knit
what distances have you done so far JG?
JB74...still up for JW ultra?
Just thinking about a 33mile race at Glen Ogle, which is being run this year for the first time. It's 5 weeks after Loch NEss marathon, which I'm doing as my 6th marathon. I don't know whether this is sensible, but I'm tempted. Can I alter my last 8 weeks marathon training to push towards the longer distance in november?- I'm already doing bigger mileage than I've ever done before, but by most folks standards, it's not much (30-35 miles per week).
Does anyone know of any traiing plans for 33mie ultras? Just so I can get an idea what's recommended for LSR distance.
Thanks- got it- looks like my marathon fits in nicely as a long trainig run- I'd need to go slower than planned for it, and just not really taper for it, and the thing looks do- able.
Ho hum..............how to break it to the other half?
Helloooooooooooooo Loula...................
You really have got me tempted now but not for The 50k in January but maybe after my next mara. Will have a look at the training plan you mentioned....
Have all the ultra races got a time limit ??? Its the only thing puttin me off ....wouldn't like to go all that way for it not be recognised......LOL Suppose the challenge would be for me to get faster.....then I wouldn't need to worry about not meeting the cut off......
well the Gloucester one has.. but i dont think JW has a cut off...i think on the results for Gloucester someone finished in 5:20..so does that mean no medal? as Ben said i thought the emphasis was on finishing, not just ontime goals....?
hmm, thats a bit of a stinker , because people get a medal at london no matter what time they clock in....there is an article i kept from a sunday magazine earlier in the year and i found it so inspirational...it was heart stopping..about the spartathalon .meant to be the hardest ultra on earth, worse than des sables....hre is the link for anyone interested: its by a reporter called 'Robin Harvie' the article is called 'distance no object' and it was featured in the Telegraph magazine...the race is 152miles ..time limit..36hours....
if you type into google bar' robin harvie distance no object article' it will appear
Hi Loula
Mmmm, I'm so very, very tempted... but am waiting to see how my marathon goes in October. And then I'm kind of stuck on the IM tri next year. Can't really see beyond that at the moment.
Can anyone tell me how long it takes to recover from an Ultra? And do folk run the whole way. Or do a run/walk combination?
Really do like the idea of Hadrians wall....
Oh, so much to do... and if I plan one big event each year it's going to take me a long time to do all these fun things!

Places Discussed(Critical Guide to Settings and Places in Literature)
*Thebes (theebz). Ancient Greek city located in Boeotia, a district northwest of Athens, Thebes was famous in the ancient world for its tragic royal family and the seven-gated wall surrounding the city. The long-standing enemy of Athens, Thebes was the setting of several Greek tragedies. Despotic Thebes seems to have served Athenian playwrights of the fifth century b.c.e. as a kind of inverted mirror image of democratic Athens, providing them with a context within which to discuss social and political issues that might prove too disturbing if dramatized within a contemporary Athenian setting. By setting Antigone in Thebes, in the remote, mythical past, Sophocles freed himself to explore the tensions between personal freedom and legal restraint, household and city, male and female—all tensions of keen interest to contemporary Athenians, whose radically democratic system of government involved a constant program of public discussion and debate.
Royal palace
Royal palace. Represented, probably with no attempt at physical "realism," by a two-story wooden building at the rear of the stage. Athenian audiences would have been well versed in the tragic history of the royal house of Thebes, a history of internecine conflict, incest, and treachery, and may well have recognized the palace as a place where the two meanings of the word "house" mingle in interesting and problematic ways. The palace, as the royal residence, is Antigone's home.
Cave. Place in which Creon entombs Antigone. It is an axiom of the Greek tragic theater that particularly unpleasant events, especially those involving violence and death, occur offstage but are described on stage, after the fact, by various characters. In Antigone, the most interesting offstage place is the cave in which Creon entombs Antigone. This "bridal-cave of Hades," where Antigone hangs herself, is one of the play's more important symbols, representing death but also, in its symbol of the womb and thus the female, ironically commenting on Creon's stridently masculine rhetoric and political stance.

Hi all,
I prefer cooked Pu'erh to raw, but I also want the full load of catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
So my question is: Which type generally has more EGCG, raw or cooked?
I really find cooked tastes better, more woody or soily, whereas raw smell smoky as I've experienced it so far.
Thanks for any info.

National Volunteer Week
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, National Volunteer Week, April 17 to April 23, honours and recognizes Canadians who volunteer.
First celebrated in 1943 to honour the contribution of women volunteers to the war effort, National Volunteer Week now pays tribute to all community volunteers.
In my riding of Bramalea—Gore—Malton, volunteers help many organizations and lend strength to our community. Volunteers serve on boards and committees, act as mentors, organize cultural activities, support seniors, offer shelter, work with youth, read to the blind, coach teams and so much more. Without volunteers, many key services could not be offered.
I ask all members to please join me in paying special tribute to Canada's 6.5 million volunteers whose time and energy make life better for others. Let us show our Canadian volunteers that we care.
Hepatitis C
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Steven Fletcher Charleswood—St. James, MB
Mr. Speaker, tonight the House will vote on my motion calling on the government to immediately compensate all those infected with hepatitis C through tainted blood, as recommended by the Krever inquiry.
All opposition parties support my motion and I hope the Liberals do too. The last time the House voted on this issue, all the Liberals voted against compensation. Since then they have filibustered at the health committee, delayed debate in the House, all to prevent the vote from happening, but now they can delay no longer.
If the government votes against my motion, then it must explain why it is against compassion. If it votes for my motion, thus admitting that it has been wrong for eight years, it should apologize for the pain and suffering it has caused so many.
I sincerely hope the government will follow Parliament's wishes and immediately compensate all victims.
End the delays. End the excuses. Compassion is needed now. Compensate the victims now.
Beef Industry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Andy Savoy Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, some of Canada's best beef is produced in my riding of Tobique—Mactaquac.
Last week, businesses and organizations throughout New Brunswick had an opportunity to purchase this prime beef on the hoof at the Carleton county spring show and sale.
This annual event is an opportunity for the St. John River Valley's beef producers and 4-H'ers to bring their steers to market and raise the profile of their industry.
This year's show and sale saw 58 steers sold for a grand total of $130,547.30. I was pleased to be able to purchase a steer myself from Andrew and Tracey McIntosh.
I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to the board of directors of the Carleton county spring show and sale, particularly president Jack Smith, for another successful event. I would also like to congratulate Kristina Parkinson who earned the title of grand champion and 4-H champion.
I must also applaud Valley Equipment, Valley Honda and Connell Chrysler, buyers of this year's charity steer which raised $6,612.50 for the Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick.
2005 Canadian National Broomball Championships
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to pay tribute to some one hundred young broomball players from Quebec for their outstanding victories at the 2005 Canadian National Broomball Championships, in Leduc, Alberta, and Prince George, British Columbia.
In the juvenile boys division, L'Assomption college won the gold medal. In the juvenile girls division, the Panthères took the silver. In the ladies A division, the Huskies claimed gold and Quest, the bronze. In the mens A division, team Frost won the gold and the Dragons, the bronze.
Congratulations to all the coaches, the fans and all the athletes, particularly the following eight young women from my riding: Marie-Noëlle Beaulieu, Joanie Charlebois, Cynthia Bourgon-Touchette, Marie-Pierre St-Denis, Laurie Robichaud, Julie Chevrier, Alexandra Chevrier and Myriam Chevrier.
The Bloc Québécois is proud of these young Quebeckers and their amazing wins. Bravo, Quebec.
Thunder Bay Law Association
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ken Boshcoff Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I rise in the House to extend congratulations to the Thunder Bay Law Association on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.
As the association marks law day, it is worthy to note its efforts to serve not only its members but the broader community by providing continuing legal education, maintaining a reference law library, providing a forum for communication, discussion and advocacy of paralegal issues, as well as promoting other activities of a non-profit nature.
If the legal profession in general is known for its sense of collegiality, congeniality and camaraderie, then this sentiment may be an accurate description of the Thunder Bay Law Association. May it continue to grow and prosper over the next 100 years.
Parks Canada
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, everyone remembers back in the 1990s when the federal Liberals cut the budget to Parks Canada. Ten years later, Banff National Park is facing a backlog of repairs for its decaying facilities.
In a recent federal government audit only 3% of Banff's facilities were considered to be in good condition. The rest were rated fair or poor.
To counter this problem, Parks Canada decided to implement a second fee increase in the last six months for those entering Banff with more fee increases to come. The Liberals feel that fee increases are the best way to clean up their mess. What they do not realize is the collection of park fees is a pittance of what is needed to maintain a world-class tourist destination.
The people who use the park, particularly our seniors, are being punished for the Liberals' lack of planning. Small business owners are telling me that people will not stop in Banff anymore simply because it costs too much.
In order for Banff to stay competitive, the Liberals should not be creating a disincentive for visitors.
It is time the government realized the park is for Canadian people to enjoy, not to be maintained by a never-ending range of service fees and charges.

Beth Phinney Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, as my colleague just stated, it is National Volunteer Week in Canada. This is an annual event to pay tribute to Canada's 6.5 million volunteers. It is estimated that the value of their work is over $14 billion a year. This contribution by Canadians of all ages is enormous, whether in sports, cultural activities or in helping each other in tough situations.
Volunteers are the backbone of a compassionate society. I challenge all Canadians to become involved in some voluntary activity. Whether big or small, their contribution will not go unnoticed and the philanthropic spirit of this country will grow.
This week we thank our volunteers for their contribution to the continued health and prosperity of our society.

Mr. Speaker, last Saturday, the Centre d'action bénévole du Granit held its annual meeting to honour its volunteers.
Over 100 volunteers were honoured and presented with certificates. I congratulate them, particularly Gérard Fluet, who was named volunteer of the year for his dedication in the field of health.
I also want to mention the hard work done by all the volunteers in my riding; these skilled and dedicated workers make a remarkable contribution to our community.
Volunteer work is a unique way for people to help shape our community. Without the thousands of volunteers who work each day in the various cultural and social sectors, our society might be quite different. They have our thanks.
Status of Women

Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to the attention of colleagues the report of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women that was tabled in the House of Commons yesterday.
The report, "Gender-Based Analysis: Building Blocks for Success", is the culmination of intense consultations with equality seeking organizations from across the country, as well as government departments and agencies.
The report's main recommendation calls on the government to do things differently, indeed to legislate the systematic application of gender based analysis of all federal policies and programs.
It includes stronger accountability measures for government agencies and departments and strengthened reporting mechanisms to determine progress in incorporating gender considerations for all Canadians.
This report is a major step forward in closing the equality gap that exists between Canadian men and women. I wish to thank committee members and to acknowledge their hard work and dedication on this issue. I also want to thank members of my own Liberal women's caucus for their doggedness and support in advancing this effort.
Liberal Party of Canada

Jim Abbott Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has added dithers to the great Canadian parliamentary lexicon.
In the face of irrefutable, overwhelming revelations of systemic Liberal Party corruption and with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, he has no choice now but to dither and duck. It is the new Liberal disco, foxtrot, rumba, tango, shuffle, dance: dither and duck.
The Liberal government has resorted to daily announcements in an attempt to hide from its own corruption. The Liberals avoid at all costs the prospect of facing the opposition in the House. What do they do? They dither and duck.
Unbelievably, the House leader for the Prime Minister cancelled an opposition day motion because he did not like the wording or intent of the motion because it would, of all things, hold the government accountable.
Yesterday, two days in a row, facing the largest political scandal in Canadian history, unbelievably, the Prime Minister was absent from the House. It is a new Liberal dance. It is the dither and duck, dither and duck, dither and duck.
All good Liberals grab a partner and do the Liberal shuffle, dither and duck.

Eleni Bakopanos Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me today to draw attention to the first anniversary of the recognition by this House of the Armenian genocide, in which 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottomans.
The 20th century has seen two world wars and numerous historic conflicts. In spite of this, crimes against humanity are not a thing of the past but continue, unfortunately, to be daily occurrences in many countries.
We witness the persecution of minorities on the basis of their political opinion, race and religion. Some are well-known, such as the Armenian genocide, others, such as the 1922 genocide of the Pontian Greeks, are not so well-known.
In recognizing this historical event as a crime against humanity, as genocide, Canadian parliamentarians have affirmed that crimes of genocide, both past and present, will not be tolerated nor will they be forgotten.
I thank all members of Parliament who supported the motion last year. I invite them to join the Canada-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group and members of the Canadian Armenian Society this afternoon to mark this anniversary.
Long live their memory. We will never forget.
National Day of Mourning
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
David Christopherson Hamilton Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, three Canadian workers will be killed today while just doing their jobs. That is why in 1991 NDP MP Bob Rae introduced legislation to proclaim April 28 as the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job.
Started in Canada, it is now commemorated in more than 70 countries worldwide.
While statistics may highlight the violent deaths of men, women are no less at risk from violence and injury. In 2003, 110,000 Canadian women were injured and 37 Canadian women were killed while at work.
Our health care workers, most of them women, are especially vulnerable to injuries largely because of the lifting they are required to do, with injury rates higher than any other group of workers.
On April 28 I ask everyone to please join me in remembering those Canadians injured or killed in the line of work but, more important, every day honour the memory of those who have died on the job by committing to prevent work related injury and illness.

Mr. Speaker, Rotary International is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, an organization dedicated to supporting local, national and international communities through humanitarian, educational and cultural programs.
I am proud to be wearing the official Rotary International tie in commemoration.
Rotarians live by a simple philosophy and given the current political state of affairs, it is a philosophy to which the Prime Minister and his party might well pay particular attention.
Of the things we say or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Truth, fairness, goodwill and working for the benefit of all. These are the keys to Rotary International success and longevity.
I congratulate Rotary International on its 100th birthday.

Mr. Speaker, Earth Day will be celebrated this week on April 22, and so I would like to read a brief excerpt from La planète Terre réinventée . This is a book written by a number of 10 to 12 year-olds in the Quebec City area.
I met four of the young authors at the Salon du livre de Québec: Sabrina Germain, Raphaël D. Rhéaume, Ann-Sophie Lachance and Mikhaël Couture-Picard. These are the words of Sabrina, who is 11 years old:
Today I was made queen of the world. I think that life could be a lot better than it is, so I decided to reinvent the planet. That requires magic powers, and I have the right to those powers because I am queen.
—I add some colour and I improve people's lives. I invent peace and make war disappear.
The earth I want must have no pollution, so that the animals that live in the water will have a good place to live.
The fact that these young writers are so sensitive to all these issues augurs well for the future. Congratulations to all the contributors to La planète Terre réinventée .

Frugality easier than you think
January 24, 2009
Tough economic times require tough action.
A check of the daily headlines or your 401K statement will tell the time for that action is now.
Sales are down in lots of businesses, wage freezes or layoffs are occurring and the job market is tight.
One of the best ways to overcome those problems is by becoming more frugal — thinking outside the box where personal finances are concerned — something at which I'm an expert.
While some are advising we shouldn't be ruled by fear and spending should continue, I know from personal experience if the money's not coming in it's a bad idea to keep spending it like it was.
With that in mind, I've come up with a few suggestions for weathering a down economy.
• I've regularly begun checking the coin return of every vending machine I pass. Most vending machines only work about 65 percent of the time, if the thing spits out the change but not the soft drink or candy bar people are so frustrated they often forget to pick up their change. If the crisis continues I may come up with a regular route.
• Eat more beans. For a few bucks you can buy a pound of beans, which will supply dinner for most of the week. Cornbread mix is cheap too and beans and cornbread are great eating. Purchase tortillas to wrap the beans in and you have lunch taken care of. The gas created by eating beans two times a day will keep your mate from hanging around in close proximity and nagging you for more grocery money.
• If beans disrupt your digestion too much there's always the old college student standard of Ramen noodles. For 19 cents you've got a nice hot bowl of noodle soup. My favorite way to dress it up if I'm making dinner out of it is to add a cup of frozen peas.
• Need new wardrobe items? Stake out a laundromat and wait for a person your size to leave their laundry unattended in a dryer. During warmer weather, since folks will be trying to save money on drying their clothes, just cruise the alley until you find something hanging on a clothesline in the right style and size.
• Encourage the kids to do their important toilet business at school. It'll save on water and toilet tissue and, well, there's the matter of those beans, which makes this step pretty important.
• Rustling a milk cow from a local dairy to stake out in the back yard could be a bad move, unless of course you've already got a felony record, say from stealing clothes.
• You can keep chickens in a garage. All you need to do is keep the windows to the car down and spread a little nesting straw on the back seat. A hot plate at work and you can enjoy scrambled eggs at your desk. If you forget to chase the chickens out of the car and park in the hot sun in the summer you can even enjoy a solar broiled chicken that evening.
• Still want to eat out? Consider dying your hair gray and making a fake ID that will get you senior discounts.
• You could swipe the coupons out of your neighbor's Sunday paper, except in a down economy he's probably already let his subscription slip.
• For health care, try to strike up a close relationship with the best veterinarian you know. After all, except for those extra three stomachs, a cow's anatomy isn't all that different from ours. Besides vets are given a lot more latitude to experiment and they know all the best ways to cut corners.
I'm shocked at how criminal some of these suggestions turned out. Lodging at the local jail in a bad economy probably wouldn't be all that bad if things get any tougher though.

The Growing Surgical PA ProfessionTweet
Opportunities in all surgical specialties are exploding! Why is the surgical PA profession expanding so rapidly?
Cutbacks in Physician Surgical Residency Slots
The number of residency slots for physicians training in surgery has been decreasing yearly since 1980. The workload at surgical teaching institutions has not gone down, and surgical PAs are ideal for helping busy hospitals pre-op patients, keeping the OR close to schedule and performing admission and discharge work.
Reduced Resident Work Hours
Regulations now require that all physician residents be limited to an 80-hour workweek. This has had a huge impact on the way that teaching hospitals function. AASPA has been working closely with physician and surgeon organizations to help combat the strain on the health care system. Surgical PAs are taking up the slack when the law requires that physicians-in-training go home.
Reimbursement for PA Surgical Services
PAs can be reimbursed for their services, making them effective in the business of medicine, both in large teaching hospitals and smaller private practices. The presence of a surgical PA on a surgeon's team allows the numbers of patients being treated to expand, thus creating sources of income.
Physician/Surgeon Relief
PAs are member of a team lead by the physician: PAs can use this relationship to become a true partner with the surgeon, which will free the surgeon to concentrate on the most complex cases. Surgical PAs often alternate "call" with their physicians.
The February 2002 edition of The Archives of Surgery report that medical students are showing a lower interest in a career in surgery. This will continue to stress the surgical workforce, and PAs are ideal to help fill the void.
Surgical PA Profession Advocacy
The final reason why our field is growing so rapidly is because of the daily work of the AASPA – much of it behind the scenes.
We network with physicians, surgeons, their organizations, hospitals, HMOs and more to guarantee that they know the effective role that surgical PAs have in healthcare. The surgical PA organizations were the first groups to ever create a marketing advertisement for our profession.
In general, surgical PAs are known as "champions of patient safety." AASPA participates in national committees promoting safety in the peri-operative setting.

University Lab Kills Cats, Lies About It
He was a pretty, healthy, brown tabby cat when his guardians took him to a Michigan animal shelter in the hope of finding him a new home. But a heartless shelter director, a shady animal dealer, and a university hell-bent on abusing animals in crude and painful medical training exercises took away his chance at a happy ending.
Knowing full well that he would end up in a lab, the staff at Gratiot County Animal Shelter turned the cat over to notorious Class B animal dealer R&R Research, which in turn sold him to the University of Michigan (U-M). There, he was given the ID number 8269 and tormented in Survival Flight training labs for nurses by having hard plastic tubes repeatedly shoved down his delicate windpipe. A few days later, when U-M was done abusing 8269, they killed him. Another cat who was subjected to this cruel intubation laboratory, 8312, had been obtained from someone who gave her away "free to a good home." The cat was illegally acquired by R&R before being sold to U-M.
The stories of 8269 and the other cats killed by U-M were uncovered when PETA obtained records from Gratiot County and U-M. They reveal that U-M officials—including the director of the Survival Flight program—have shamelessly lied to the public by repeatedly stating in a newspaper opinion column, comments to the media, and official statements that the cats used in the archaic Survival Flight lab are always adopted out afterward.
While we were shocked to learn about U-M's illicit relationship with one of the most despicable animal dealers in the country and to discover that U-M has been blatantly lying about the fate of the cats, it really shouldn't have come as any surprise. U-M officials have been misleadingly claiming for a year that modern human-patient simulators can't replace the cat laboratories, even though these simulators are already used in the place of animals to teach intubation to doctors and nurses in other courses at U-M.
You can help prevent more cats from being betrayed like 8269 by clicking here to e-mail U-M officials and demanding that they replace the use of cats in these labs with the superior human-patient simulators that the school already owns.
Commenting is closed.
For many years Lucy and I rescued many feral cats left to the elements to survive using their wits. Regretfully, some of them left and we did not see them again. U of M abusing and killing cats, pigs and any other creatures deserve their funding and the people responsible for such crimes need jail time to learn from their crimes.
shame on you !!!
When I read this I want to cry and pretrt much do. First at the sad story of the cat who had to be put up for adoption. Then I'm sad for the family that had to make that decision then thinking he would get a great home. Then for him to be given away to mad scientist, in my mind, shakes me to my core. I have had a breathing tube before and its painful, can you imagine being that small and trusting and being tortured? These poor animals deserve a voice!! They don't deserve to be tested and abused on. And theh deserve names!! Not id numbers.
This article is about the use of cats for intubation and their abuse/death, but when I go to the petition it says thanks for not using cats but please stop using pigs. Now, I'm against the use of any animall, but this article is about cats, not pigs. And the petition says they don't use cats anymore? Confused….
I am a nursing student and I would quit school if I was told do such awful things! You people should be ashamed of your .a shelter is supposed to be a safe haven from the traumatic things animals have already encountered or from being dumped by irresponsible individuals who Get pets they decide they no longer want or cannot take care of. I don't know how people who do these things can live with themselves. If I was told to do this I'd quit nursing school because I do have compassion its not just a job for me and with that compassion if go help the animals that are being treated this way.
An institution of higher learning should be teaching by example. Lying and being cruel to animals is not what I would want my child to be taught if I were sending my child there to develop life skills. Maybe a good house cleaning of those responsible is in order? They don't deserve big healthy paychecks.
I can't beleive people have no respect for God's creation.
If you want to research (on anything) please volunteer yourself and your body and see how fast you re-act to the pain & abuse. You should be treated just like you do the poor animals. Everyone is here on this earth for a reason; and I don't mean abuse/research!
Until I read this, I had the utmost respect for U-M. From now on, do this procedure on your Professor (I am sure that he won't mind), each other, or yourselves.
if their is alternatives to this use them not the cats!!!! They don't deserve this and other people be aware what is going on!!! Don't let this happen to your pet or someone else's??? How can this go on dosen't make no sense to me??
I don't understand this…what did those animals ever do to you? Punish the people who did something, not animals! I bet these animals are saying to themselves, Is this how life is supposed to be? It's not what life is supposed to be…and we need to help them! To all animals,you are in my prayers, and I hope it won't be too late for you!
Here I thought the University was a fine institution till I read articles that you still do animal research! It should be called by it's real name! Abusing animals!!!! With modern techniques, animals DO NOT NEED TO BE ABUSED AND KILLED!!!!They just want to live a long and healthy life, not be used in this way!!!!!SHAME ON ALL INVOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how you use an a live animal to do that i can't beleive people can do that mke me sick
I don't understand how anyone can say that this is for the better good. I have many doctor and nurse friends and have studied medicine myself, and I can tell you that if I was looking for an animal that had a similiar larynx as humans, I would definitely not be going to a cat shelter to find test subjects. You can say all you like about how people in the medical profession have to learn some way, and I would have to agree with you-if this was 1912. We know so much now, although I know we have much to learn. However, treating such advanced forms of life in this manner is nothing but cruel and barbaric. As I noticed a couple of others that have written in have done, I can't help but wonder what kind of doctors and nurses these people will become, or just who and what it is that this medical program has already set free into the medical profession at large, all in the name of 'the greater good'; although I feel quite sure that no one considered the greater good of the animals. Now this may just be me, but I would be horrified if I found out that the doctor and/or nurse I had come to see or begun to trust, had been a part of this sickening and repulsive testing program. I think it goes without saying that I would find myself a new doctor as soon as humanly possible. As far as I'm concerned, all of these people involved have found eachother for a reason: they deserve eachother.
The people that actually do this to the poor cats are sick. My prayers are with all the poor animals that are tortured and abused! God help us all for having to hear about abuse so often it just breaks my heart.
May Karma come back to haunt you all for these harsh actions. Such a shame that a college that is supposed to teach good things.. is teaching bad. I'd like to you see you involuntarily get a pipe shoved down your windpipe and not be able to do anything about it. Think before you act next time, because obviously you can't fix what you've already done here, even if you do feel remorse. Let it be known that I will not be attending this college in the course of my studies. It's definitely ruled out.

Any civilian who owns a domestic animal, let one of them try to abuse an animal and see what happens!!! All the facilites and persons involved should have their licenses pulled and/or fired, fined and prosecuted to the fullest for the uncalled for/inhumane treatment, abuse/death of these animals/cats. Lets not forget all the lies, for how long??? How many animals lives have been taken, for what?? This is wrong on so many levels and I want it to stop!! I hope that the people responsible for all of this are prosecuted to the fullest and no more animals will have to undergo the cruel treatment the others, unfortunately, in the end, went through. Lets all pray that the laws will prevail and something will be done to stop this and all involved!!!
What can I do to help stop this madness? My heart breaks everytime I hear about an animal being abused. I don't understand why anyone would hurt or torture a defenseless animal. Animals feel pain just like we do.
I feel that all this lab testing on all animals should be stopped because these Ignorant people are not doing anything but torturing these animals then when they are done TORTURING them they then MURDER them! ANIMALS DON'T DESERVE TO BE ABUSE OR USE AS TEST LAB ANIMALS FOR THEIR LAB RESEARCHES THIS EVIL IT IS BARBARIC & THE LAWS NEED TO BE CHANGED & ALL THESE LABS SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN NOW! AND NEVER REOPEN AGAIN! ANIMALS SHOULD BE CARED FOR & LOVED NOT ABUSED & BUTCHER! WHAT THEY DONE TO THIS POOR CAT MAKES ME WANT TO THROW UP! AND I PRAY THAT WHEN THESE EVIL PEOPLE CLOSE THEIR EYES THAT ALL THEY SEE AT NIGHT IS THE TORTURED ANIMALS BEFORE THEY EYES EVERY NIGHT OF THEIR LIVES THEY SHOULD BE TORTURED LIKE THEY TORTURE THESE POOR ANIMALS SHOW THESE IGNORANT PEOPLE HOW IT FEELS TO BE TORTURED!
Too much of this goes on in the name of science.
Testing should not be done on animals. They cannot tell you what hurts and what doesn't. What works and what doesn't. So if I had a choice I'd choose to perform the experiments on humans. WILLING humans. Not an animal that can't say no or cry when the pain becomes unbearable.
Hey this is to don't you understand, and their comment……God above knows we have enough criminals, and life time prisoners sitting in prison that we have to support that we don't have to use innocent animals to do this testing on…… I mean what better specimen could you come up with ?????????????? Answer me that.
In my opinion if they had to lie about using the cats for research, then they knew they were doing something unscrupulous.
@don't you understand. What makes you think you are so superior to any other animal out there? You are only an animal. If medicine or any product is for use by humans, then it should be tested on humans. Why do we think we can subject animals to pain and suffering for our benefit?
Not only is this heart breaking and wrong but it is also known as bad science our human bodies and bodies of animals such as cats and dogs have no similarites in anatomy at all. i say practice on the murders and rapists in prison doing life sentences, I am sure they would sign up for anything just to get out of their cell for the day…that's just my opinion
How can nurses and doctors do this to a living, innocent creature? I certainly would not want to go to them if I were sick.
This cat like countless other gave it's life for the betterment of mankind. How easy it was for the so called loving family to just drop off their cat ( problem) into the hands of a shelter. Now they claim that the abuse the cat underwent was so very horrible, well I think the cat was abused and it all started at he hands of it's so called loving family. How did the poor cat feel being put in a cage and put in a car and brought to a so called Shelter .. No one it knew to hold and pet it.. no one to calm it's fears at being in a strange place with strange people and even stranger sights, sounds and smells. Now the so called owners cry foul.. give me a break None of this could have happened if they had not dumped their problem at a sheltr.. so at least the poor thing was put out of it's suffering.. suffering brougt on by being unlove, unwanted and uncared for. For shame on any one that dumps it pet at a shelter just becuse it is so easy for them..
I never would have learned how to properly intubate a cat, dog, horse, cow, or bird unless I had live subjects to practice on these animals were spoiled rotten myself adopting a cat and a dog I got attached to upon graduation how is a vet tech supposed to learn without practical experience under supervision of a professor as for nursing students I don't know much about that but I take better care of beloved pets because of my education the shelter should be repremanded for their actions that was illegal
@ Don't You Understand…Don't YOU understand? These were domesticated housepets that were supposed to be relocated to new homes, not lab animals-and the owners were blatantly lied to. Where is your compassion?!
Hey @dontyouunderstand, you speciesest ignoramus, I can't have kids, my cats are my children, and I don't see any need to perform this kind of cruelty on humans OR cats. There are plenty of non-living alternatives to live animal testing, either UoM or industry (i.e. humans) are just too cheap and nasty to provide researchers and Schools with enough money to use such alternatives. As someone who works at a University, I'm disgusted.
May no mercy ever be shown on any soul who would dare even consider doing such a thing. Let what is done to these lovely creatures be delivered onto the savage souls in every parting and rebirth.
Put a stop to this practice and have them spend the money on a simulator dummie,they are being used more and more by everyone.
They already do practice on people without our consent. My paramedic friend said they Have student paramedics and drs come into the OR soon after a patient has been put under anesthesia and have them learn intubation under a dr. Supervision. this beautiful cat should have never been subjected to this.
Practice on criminals instead. Win-win.
We humans do not have the same bodies as animals so the lame excuse of experimenting and toturing animals for the benefit of human kind is BS. Why don't they just come out and say that they don't think that animals have feelings or a right to live and not be hypocrites hiding behind the poor excuse of "medical research" PLEASE.
These people should all burn in hell!!!!Cats are living beings with feelings just like humans.
This is criminal activity (in my opinion)…and, I don't understand how ANY "human being" could inflict such horrible pain and agony on any living creature…especially those that have no choice and are held prisoner. I am sick to my stomach. Shame on the University of Michigan…isn't this considered to be a high-classed school where you can earn medical and law degrees??? Not to leave out many other degrees??? I am shocked and horrified…
U of M programs and their deceptive practices should be punished. Maybe a few million dollars to PETA wuold make them take notice. SHAMEFUL
dont animals deserve just as much to the freedom of life as humans were all animals i think people need to treat other animals with respect if you wana do reserch like that test it on volunteers not animals leave them to loveing homes or to be free and enjoy life the way they were intended to. and if anyones interested i run a support group page called FIGHT ANIMAL CRUELTY that many people like you are able to talk to others and agree that cruelty to animals needs to end.
VERY Disturbing!!!!

New Traincase...Update on Fafi
So last night I filled in my container store lipstick holder…I didn't have enough lipsticks but I did have more than enough lip glosses, glasses, etc. I'm trying to get more into lipsticks this year since before then all I owned were glosses. It was kind of cool actually…because since I'm laying the lipsticks upside down they all tilt in one direction due to the rounded tip. I might have to get another container because I have some lipglosses that couldn't fit in there. The acrylic of the lipstick holder is very thick and sturdy and it's only $7.99. I definitely recommend it!
Oh and guess what? Last night I called my nearby MAC freestanding store and inquired about any upcoming events/promotions for the FAFI collection. She told me their was an unveiling on February 10th with h'ors d'oeuvres and that I could sign up for a spot and bring a friend. I guess the mall will be open later for this because it's a Sunday but the event is from 5-7pm, and in my neck of the woods malls usually close at 6pm on Sunday. Anyways, of course I signed up for the earliest time slot to make sure I get my hands on these goodies. I'm so excited! I get to see the collection 3 days early and this is my first MAC event I've attended. Thank goodness for Specktra for the heads up! If your interested, give your store or counter a call. I heard that some stores do this thing where you have to pre-purchase a $50 gift card which will go towards your purchase and you also get a FAFI makeover. I wish my store did that but it's just an unveiling. Oh well, better than nothing!
In the meanwhile, I uploaded a new video last night. I get to finally show off my new traincase I was talking about a few posts ago as well as show you how I label my MAC palettes. Hope you ladies enjoy!

Double-sided tape makes for clean work
Club member Michael Whitley of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, was looking for a cleaner way to stain wooden buttons for woodworking projects. To prevent staining his hands, he applies double-sided carpet tape to a scrap board, peels off the paper tape backing and sticks wooden buttons onto the exposed tacky surface. The tape holds the pieces firmly while he applies stain, and he can reuse the same strip several times. Once the tape becomes clogged with stain, he just applies a new tape strip over it.

Storing CO2 in the oceans comes at a steep cost: It changes the chemistry of seawater.experiencing today. Their research supports what other researchers have long suspected: The acidification of the ocean today is bigger and faster than anything geologists can find in the fossil record over the past 65 million years. Indeed, its speed and strength — Ridgwell estimate that current ocean acidification is taking place at ten times the rate that preceded the mass extinction 55 million years ago — may spell doom for many marine species, particularly ones that live in the deep ocean.
Our carbon-fueled civilization is affecting life everywhere on Earth — even deep underwater.time. They created a virtual version of the Earth 55 million years ago and let the simulation run until it reached a stable state. The pH level of their simulated ocean fell within the range of estimates of the pH of the actual ocean 55 millions years ago. They then built a version of the modern Earth, with today's arrangements of continents, average temperature, and other variables. They let the modern world reach a stable state and then checked the pH of the ocean. Once again, it matched the real pH found in the oceans today.

How can we move beyond measuring economic expansion to broader indicators of progress that assess whether countries are providing for human well-being in a meaningful and lasting way? This question is the focus of the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress created by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and chaired by Nobel Prize winning-economists Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz of Columbia University and Professor Amartya Sen of Harvard.
The Commission has recently issued a draft report of its findings. Among the indicators mentioned was the Ecological Footprint, marking an important milestone for incorporation of the Footprint and ecological limits into policy-making at the highest levels.
The organization has collected public comments on the draft and is expected to issue the final report later this year.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by evobue Fabulous scarf I recently purchased the zebra print scarf and am very satisfied with the quality and length of the scarf. Some reviews mentioned how thin the scarf is, but because of the nature of silk it has a wonderful drape. I liked it so much I have purchased the lepard print scarf and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival! June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunny68 Perfect length and weight! I bought the black print and liked it so well, I am ordering the teal. Since I am in Texas, I don't need a heavy scarf so this is a perfect light weight accessory that has an easy drape. I wear with a black tunic (the TravelSmith Jet set is perfect for my needs). I can dress it up or be very casual. Like the long length. September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lottie love the print and the ruffle; have already gotten many compliments on this scarf October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JulieAnn Yet another Great purchase from TravelSmith Have worn this scarf many times and the compliments have been endless. Might have to purchase in the other colors. Very light and comfortable. October 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by gooseisland Pretty and colorful I love leopard prints and the teal coloration is pretty and unusual. Nice combo! October 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CitizenoftheWorld Love It This is a really unique scarf. It is versatile and the colors and style are great. I've received compliments every time that I've worn it. November 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Vaybra A great fashion accessory I first purchased the teal scarf and got so many compliments that I ordered the other three choices as well. I have worn these scarves often. They look equally well with jeans as they do with a suit. They pack beautifully and I never need to worry about wrinkles. February 13, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by 1700True Bad Choice This doesn't look anything like the photo! It is flimsy, poorly made, and I would send mine back but I've lost the packing slip! October 4, 2011

Liveblogging the Series Premiere of Start-Ups: Silicon Valley
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
In a classic display of Silicon Valley arrogance, Bravo is airing the season premiere the Start-Ups: Silicon Valley on the eve of The Most Important Election of Our Generation, depriving us of another hour of CNN's illuminating election coverage. But it's okay, the opportunity to see speeded up establishing shots of San Francisco on basic cable is far more exciting than witnessing the last hours of Mitt Romney's relevance.
Because Silicon Valley's economy is built on the liveblog, we couldn't help but treat the show with the same journalistic respect and integrity that tech blogs show start-ups with their instant, snap analysis.
Let's watch!
9:43pm: Why aren't any of these diamond-encrusted women talking about start-ups?
9:45pm: Oh shit, this is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
9:47pm: Okay, These People are just faking real life instead of business.
9:54pm: How many Microsoft Surface ads do people think we'll see during the show? 8? We'll be counting.
9:58pm: Cursing!
10:02pm: Due to a pooping emergency, our liveblog will be running at a 152 second DVR delay.
10:05pm: I'm bored.
10:07pm: Does she call her start-up "Newspepper" because she can't pronounce "newspaper"?
10:10pm: A girl named Sarah just called room service to order food for her purse puppy, then stripped down to her underwear to explain her start-up.
10:10pm: There's now a bellboy pouring her dog Fiji water. We can only imagine the bellboy was forced to drink out of the toilet.
10:11pm: Actual quote: "Living in the Four Seasons is like living in a bubble, And. I. Love. This. Bubble!"
10:15pm: Meet Kim Taylor. She used to be an NBA dancer and now "pushes competitors toward failure." This isn't funny.
10:18pm: Actual quote: "Silicon Valley is where nerds make fucking dreams come true."
10:21pm: We're currently watching as one of Silicon Valley's young prodigies gets her hair did.
10:24pm: Suggesting that attention-seeking start-up nerds are not far removed from cast of the Jersey Shore, they're now getting spray-tans.
10:26pm: The show's token gay admits to having every physical imperfection surgically removed from his body and he wants to encourage everyone to be the best they can be.
10:27pm: We just learned that a "very unprofessional email" at SXSW caused two of the cast members to dislike each other.
10:32pm: Dudes are chugging bottles of Jameson and arguing about derivatives. It looks like they are enjoying themselves.
10:39pm: Currently watching the most jargon-laden girl fight of all time: contains 300% more buzzwords than your average girl fight.
10:41pm: Is this over yet? I really want to know what Piers Morgan thinks of Mitt Romney's inefficient use of all 140 characters Twitter generously affords.
10:43pm: How could we be so far into this show without seeing a single neckbeard?
10:45pm: Ikea just aired a commercial featuring up a little kid walking into things, which pretty much sums up this show.
10:48pm: It's obvious this show is about the hanger-ons. Calling them incompetent isn't fair to the incompetent, as the word implies effort, no matter how incapable. When these guys are on some Lifetime "Where Are They Now?" Saturday night special in 10 years, I suspect to hear lots of "I got into fashion design" and rumors about summers spent dwelling in parent's basements.
10:50pm: These entrepreneurs are breaking all the rules by showing up to the fundraising meeting hungover.
10:52pm: Actual quote: "My sister's ways are unconventional, but so are Silicon Valley's, so maybe that's why she does so well." She's wearing Tetris tights and taking a "power nap" under the investor's conference room table.
10:57pm: New Silicon Valley Buzzword: "Passion".
11:01pm: Surprise! Their start-up was rejected by the investor! Now people are tossing drinks in people's faces!
11:02pm: For the first time in my life, I truly understand and appreciate all the time, effort, skill, pain, ups, downs, and heartache that goes into building the Valley's many start-ups. Thank you, Bravo.
11:03pm: And for the closing credits, here's a sparkling "Zuckerberg Media" logo. Not quite as humble as "A Mark Zuckerberg Production", but it's alright.
11:04pm: Argh, this show was unwatchably bad and probably beneath criticism. Same time and place next week?

- Arrows drawn: 1
- Curses: 12

Along with a passion for California and the West Coast, a key theme in Ed Ruscha's work and Ed Ruscha and the Great American West is the abundance and playfulness of words. Throughout his career, Ruscha experimented with words, song lyrics and sayings, even filling notebooks with them and waiting for the moment that the temperature of a word becomes "really hot."Read More »
