By the time she got out on stage to perform at the Serpentine Gallery summer party, Natalie Findlay was definitely drunk. "They said, 'You can't go outside because you're the surprise guest entertainer', so they lock us in a room filled with alcohol for four hours. What the fuck do you expect us to do?" says the 22-year-old in her thick Manchester accent.
Findlay is a pop-rock singer, raised in Stockport (so with a well-developed, no-shit-northerner attitude) but now a Dalston resident. Two weeks ago she was handpicked to play at this year's Serpentine pavilion by the party's organiser, fashion designer (and partner of Mick Jagger) L'Wren Scott, and performed in front of every name in London from Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Moss to Ewan McGregor and, of course, Jagger.
"My manager sent me an email saying, 'L'Wren has come forward and asked personally if you would play.' I was like, 'Fuck, yeah.' I thought, 'Has Mick had a say in it?' … She said, 'I chose you myself so you're here on merit, honey'."
Merit and the right level of cool. The title track from Findlay's debut EP, Off & On, is as seductive as the accompanying video. She has a voice like Cerys Matthews, a style like Florence crossed with The Kills, but with a look that is more Rooney Mara.
For the party L'Wren styled her in a red and gold dress and gold tiara ("I had to send it back a couple of days ago") but on a normal day she's more of a short skirts, gingham shorts and brothel creepers sort of girl.
Right now she is an emerging talent — signed to Polydor and having supported the Courteeners and Jake Bugg on tour. But after L'Wren's celeb-stocked do, there's no chance Findlay is going to go unnoticed this summer. In two weeks she will play at Secret Garden Party and next month at the Reading and Leeds festivals.
"It's been a long-drawn-out painful experience," she says. "There have been times when I've thought, 'What's the point? I would be earning more if I was working in Tesco and I'd have more time off'." Indeed, one of her guitarists still plays weddings to top-up his cash flow. "You've got to eat," she says.
On tour with Jake Bugg, "we were all staying in the Travelodge", even though Bugg's album had reached number one. "Tom Odell was doing that tour as well and he was in the Malmaison. Jake and I were like, 'lucky fucking c**t'."
But "I'm such an extrovert", she says, so it's performance she lives for. "It's like a drug. When you don't have that anxiety and adrenaline you end up going crazy. You need that dopamine. That's probably why so many artists end up doing so many drugs and drinking. If you get that high and buzz every day for two weeks and then it's cut off, you think, 'What the fuck do I do now?'"
Of course, on tour there's never a shortage of alcohol. "Whenever you do a show they give you more beer than water. The temptation is there and I just think, 'Fuck it, let's have a drink'."
Findlay swears so constantly that the word 'fuck' is more friendly than offensive when she says it. Even when she sticks two fingers up and swears at the men eyeing her up through their office window as she's posing for photographs hanging off a ladder, it sounds like a joke — and she laughs afterwards.
Findlay's mother is an art teacher and her father is a social worker, although her mother is also "an amazing pianist", which may explain Findlay's musical talent. Her grandparents paid for her to attend private school, "but I fucking hated it", she says. "I was called the 'pov'. They all had horses and I would come in with broken shoes. I was an absolute outcast for the first three years of school and I didn't have any friends." Although she admits she thinks it all contributed to her character. "Now I'm really thick-skinned. I know what I want, when I want it and how to get it and I don't take shit from anyone any more."
Knowing what she wanted meant moving to London — "it was the smartest thing to do" — and becoming a realist.
"There are so many new bands coming out and everyone is given a shot — which is great but it can be stifling. You can only go away for so long before you're forgotten about … Pop is really ageist as well. They only want you when you're young."
So what does she think of Jagger, still playing Glastonbury in his late sixties? "When the Rolling Stones started it was such a different era for music. They were so massive that they were always going to have that long career," she says, before adding, "And he's still fit."
Don't tell L'Wren.Reuse content

I can't begin to thank Capt Pete Mondello enough for his recommendation for the cryovaced (spelling?) frozen 8 oz portions of tuna at Market Basket for $6.50 per lb. Also available at Stop and Shop. Get the little container of real wasabi too.
So you get a portion, leave it out for a couple hours to thaw, cut open the package carve off a slice, spread on a little wasabi and drizzle soy sauce. I stuffed myself with about 6.5 ounces. Straight lean protein. Delicious. No Brainer city.

Tuna, Truro, Magnolia, and the Fish Stick
Fred Bodin Submits-
From the (Martha's) Vinyard Gazette, circa 1951: " John Sweek of Queen's, NYC, secretary to a magistrate in his home city, is shown at left with his companions, Robert Collinson from Provincetown and John Kohr of Magnolia, with three tuna caught on rod and reel near the Truro shore in Provincetown Harbor. The fishermen had their best luck with blue atom plugs and squid as bait." These are definitely surf casting fishermen. Just look at the bare feet, rolled up trousers, and 4 wheel drive Jeep.
I met John Kohr and his wife Esther (1914–2007) while she and I worked at Endicott College in Beverly. The was something about her that was vaguely aristocratic, but in an old fashioned gracious American way. I now know that she grew up in Provincetown and Truro. In fact, her ship captain uncle sailed in the China Trade, and another ancestor commanded a ship for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and built the oldest still standing house in Truro. Previous ancestors came here on the Mayflower and established Truro. Husband John Kohr (1911–1999) was a graduate of MIT and invented an amazing product while he worked for Gorton's: The Fish Stick!

153 Miles and and 18 Hour Steam Dave Jewell and Crew Land Two Fat Bluefin Tuna
Heading out a couple of days ago Dave and his crew head out for an 18 hour steam of 153 miles to catch themselves a nice pay day. One 800 lber and one 650 these tuna will command a nice price in Japan.
When Dave headed out he was a bit nervous because where they have to go to catch these fish it's a long way out and there's no place to run and hide if a storm whips up. It is where there are warm ocean currents and cold water intersecting and it can produce nasty storms seemingly out of the blue and without much warning.

So in my last entry (two minutes ago, hehe) I told you all about the horror I have to be subjected to every day while mom and dad are at work... well they always leave me, so to show them one night I chewed up their new couch cushion.. that would teach them to leave me all alone, right?? WRONG!! Instead they brought me a JAIL CELL and now every time they leave they lock me up behind bars!! What am I, some kind of couch cusion eating convict?? I plead the fifth!! I did nothing!! You did not catch me in the act!! ........it was Charlie, yeah!
But yeah no matter what I try to say, of course, they don't listen! :( I tried telling them it was that sneaky ninja cat of theirs, Double-Oh, he is such an instigator... he knocks yummy food off the counters, so of course I have to eat it! Why let such delicious food go to waste?? Mom and dad don't see it that way, though... so now I am subjected to... THE CRAAAATE... every day while they are away at work!! Its so humiliating!
Charlie gets to walk around the house, scott free while I get locked up behind bars, every day.. :(
Tonight after mom picked dad up from work, they were watching the box thing (tee vee?) and I heard someone at the door! Well mom and dad looked at the door, but ignored it... but I kept trying to tell them, something was outside!! Well Charlie and I eventually got their attention and mom had dad check to see who was outside... it was a little doggy!! He was soaked from the rain (it was storming outside, mom says) and had no collar or tags! Dad stuck him in MY crate (oh yes, that's another story, did I tell you that humiliation? They got me A CRATE!!!!!) and he was soooooo annoying... all he did was bark... I begged mom to let him out so he would shut up, but she said we had to ignore him... well apparently HER way didn't work, because she eventually got up and let him out!!
Dad was walking around in the rain for awhile trying to find his mommy and daddy but nobody was home (or awake! It was midnight, after all..). So mom gave him a bath, and wouldn't you know it, he turns out to be WHITE!!! Funny!! He was really dirty!!
We ran around the apartment for a bit, and now we're all tuckered out. He is laying by dad's feet and sleeping. Mom says he is being such a good boy for being "innn-tackt", whatever that means. If it means trying to jump on my butt, then... well that's not funny....
Well, kind of. Mom was taking us on a walk, a long walk! And we went up a hill by some buildings where we have never been before! And mom looks.. and in the parkinglot.. there was this little Chee-wah-wah just laying on the ground by some cars! Mom looked around and did not see anyone. We didn't notice at first, but once we saw her laying there... we tried running over to say hi! But mom made us stop and sit, because she said we might "scare" her *rolls eyes* Yeah whatever!
This girl was SPOILED rotten too, she had a cute pink studden collar on and painted toenails!! She was really pretty (I think Charlie had a crush on her cause he wouldn't stop trying to say "hello" to her!). Mom picked her up and started walking back to our apartment because she was going to LEAVE US BEHIND AND USE MY LEASH ON THE NEW FRIEND, and look for her mommy or daddy. But we did not make it very far, a man called out to us, and mom asked if she was his doggy, and he said she was! She knows how to open the screen door and ran outside, he said! So we said hello and the humans talked for a little bit, the man said how pretty Charlie was... *rolls eyes* and then we went back home!
Also dad brought this strange thing back the other night on his way home from work.. mom got a shoebox and put it inside and put it in the bathroom away from us. It is weird, it does not have fur on it and has a sharp yellow thing on its face. Dad said its a "burrrrr-duh" and that it is hurt and they are going to bring it to a burd hospital so they can take care of it. But they were closed yesterday, so they kept him for two days! He is cool, but really quiet, and doens't move around a whole lot. Mom put him in the bathtub with some water, she said he was a "marrrsh" burd, whatever that means, but he just kind of sat there and didn't move or anything. Mom is really worried!!!

After nearly three decades of managing IT for financial services, with major stints at Bank of America, and more recently with HDFC Bank, where he was the third employee, CN Ram is trying something new. As CIO of Essar Group, he's leading IT for a conglomerate spanning steel, oil and gas, power, telecom, shipping, construction, and mining.
With operations in more than 20 countries across five continents, Essar Group employs 60,000 people, with annual revenue of $15 billion. As group president and CIO, Ram's primary responsibility is to mentor CIOs of each of the business units and supervise the activities of Essar IT Limited (EITL), a 700-person organization responsible for implementation, support and enhancement of software packages as also the company's infrastructure, telecommunications, security, and availability services.
Ram's mandate is to enhance use of IT in Essar to enable collaboration and faster decision-making, reduce cost using shared services, and establish IT governance and process excellence.
In addition to his Essar group role, Ram and five other executives have created a venture called Rural Shores Business Services, a company trying to set up business process outsourcing centers exclusively in Indian villages, looking to create employment opportunities for rural, educated youth. It's business pitch is to save Indian companies money, but it's driven by a social agenda of increasing economic opportunities in rural India so young people don't have to move to the cities to find work.
In the past Ram has been on the advisory boards of a number of technology companies, including Oracle, NCR, Sun, and Symantec, and Visa's Asia-Pacific tech advisory board. At Bank of America, Ram led the effort to set up the bank's Indian IT operations across its branches. -InformationWeek India

Merry Sithmas from Santa Maul
Since Dunc won't let him run his favorite Sithmas song, Santa Maul is instead forced to resort to non-offensive animal-laden pablum. Darth Sinterklaas will not be pleased!

Regardless, Santa Maul wishes all a Happy Sithmas. May your slaying be easy and your spoils be plentiful.

The fandom minute: The internet loves costume contests, slave Leia, and the concept of a Jabba sitcom
Rebelscum contest winners. The fansite announced the winners of their annual Halloween costume contest yesterday – this (Robot Chicken-inspired?) Ponda Baba by Michael took first place in the adult contest.
Sing it. Are you sick of seeing that old pic of Carrie Fisher and her ROTJ stunt double being treated as some sort of rare, leaked revelation? Yeah, me too.
According to Jabba? The King of Tatooine? io9's Annalee Newitz mines Bonnie's interview with the The Box director Richard Kelly for his idea of a Jabba the Hutt tv show. Scary thought: It's not really out of the realm of possibility.
Blotter. A New Zealand fan had his stormtrooper armor stolen off his back porch before he had a chance to wear it. At least the perpetrators were caught on camera?
Craft corner: Stormtrooper outfits and playworthy lightsabers out of easy-to-find materials. Or… an AT-AT dog costume, because tiny little dogs just have too much innate dignity.

I'm a total grinch about the holiday season, but John Scalzi isn't. He's included Darth Vader in his SciFi Thanksgiving:
I'm thankful for Darth Vader. In the last 30-some years, has there been a better villain in all of film — not just science fiction film, but film in general? I tell you, there is not (Hannibal Lecter comes close, but dude. Vader could use his Force powers to feed him his own liver with a nice Chianti). Vader is so badass that he survived George Lucas turning him into a whiny loser in the prequel trilogy. Think about that.
Heartwarming no? Hey, at least we're not in space. UPDATE: Underwired puts The Clone Wars on their list.
But there's something out there to cure even me: puppies. (LFL has a shiba connection?) Though no word if the puppycam will be up and running today.

Nepal to reduce fees to climb Mount Everest
By Gopal Sharma
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Nepal will cut climbing fees for Mount Everest to lure more mountaineers to the world's highest peak, already overcrowded during the peak climbing season.
Hundreds of foreign climbers, each paying thousands of dollars, flock to the 8,850-metre (29,035 feet) Everest summit during the main climbing season stretching from March to May.
Under existing rules, Nepal charges $25,000 per climber as a license fee, or royalty. But a group of seven people can secure a permit for $70,000, a practice officials say encourages climbers to form big groups.
Tourism Ministry official Tilakram Pandey said each climber will be charged $11,000 from next year to end the practice.
"The change in royalty rates will discourage artificially formed groups, where the leader does not even know some of the members in him own team," Pandey said.
"It will promote responsible and serious climbers."
He said the new rates will apply for the peak season on the Southeast Ridge, or South Col, route pioneered by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953.
Permits for other routes and for the rest of the year, when the mountain is virtually deserted, will cost as little as $2,500 to encourage off-season climbing, officials said. Continued...

Position: Right
Condition: New

No surprises. Window motor worked great with little fuss installation. One ding though - no instructions on how to recoup my core charge.
The product appears to be working appropriately. However, I did note that the attachment clip was not included for the instillation; the one on the motor being replaced cannot be removed without destroying it, therefore, as a point of good customer service, this clip should be included from partsgeek so that the motor can be appropriately fastened to the door as intended. Furthermore, while the correct part arrived, it took approximately one week; far too long, as ALL other car-parts orders I've made from various companies take 2 to 4 days.
Quickly delivered. Part works as expected one week after installation.
Product was shipped very fast I received it with in 2 days, it also was very easy to figure out and works great :)

England duo Chris Robshaw and Danny Care have backed Harlequins' decision to rest them for last Saturday's loss to Saracens.
Quins lost in front of a world-record club crowd at Wembley and are now likely to miss the play-offs for the first time in three years.
Team boss Conor O'Shea was accused of surrendering the game by omitting the pair and their England team-mate Mike Brown.
But Robshaw said: "Every now and then you need someone to see the bigger picture and do what's best for us. We back the boss."
Care said: "I would love to have played, particularly at Wembley, but Conor has our best interests at heart."
O'Shea explained: "We've had a horrendous run of injuries this season and the easiest decision for me would have been to get them all back in.
"But my job is to look after this group. Mike Brown said to me a couple of weeks ago he was absolutely shattered.
"By not playing last weekend he's back to looking a million dollars."
Care missed training today with his right leg in a protective boot after turning his ankle on Monday. He expects to be fit to face London Irish.

social class systems in millet's "angelus"
What if Salvador Dali was born in 1983 instead of 1904?
Imagine his childhood filled with images of urban America instead of the beautiful countrysides of Spain. What would his work look like if he painted out of a studio in Brooklyn, a product of this generation, influenced by our fashion, music, and style?
Envision a Salvador painting about the issues facing modern society, inspired by things like the internet, social media, corporate america, politics, religion, and more. Witness Dali's masterpieces reworked through an updated lens as art history collides with modern culture. I intend to pick up where he left off, with more than fifty years of perspective to guide me along they way. It is a humble tribute to my greatest inspiration.

Does the BRAND of paint primer matter as much?
I know it is a good idea to buy paint by Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams because they are very good.
But what about paint primer?
I am planning to buy primer by Behr or Glidden because it is cheaper and buy Benjamin Moore as the main paint in order to save money, is that a good or bad idea?
Also, is there a special primer to prime wood floors?
Welcome Wade. The textbook answer is yes, quality primer is as important as quality paint. However, you can get a good primer for less in Zinsser brand. It depends on what you need it for as to what particular primer. As to the floors, again, where are they, what are they? Generally, floor enamels don't require primer. They either go full strength over bare wood or use a 50% dilution on first coat and full on the second, depending. Choose your floor finish and follow the base coat instructions.
thanks! but i am not sure what type of floor i have, all i know is that it is wood and i have read that i have to sand down the floor first before i prime/paint.
Good thing home depot has zinsser because i have gift card but there are so many, which one should i go with? I need to prime my walls/ceiling and wood floors(indoors). http://www.homedepot.com/Paint-Prime...#/?c=1&3mz=3mz
Thanks a bunch!!!!:thumbsup:
Why do you have to prime your walls and trim? Are they new and bare substrate?
If your walls and trim are painted, you probably don't need primer, as primer is really only used for new surfaces. If the paint surfaces are fifteen years old, or new but unusually decrepid, yes, prime, but otherwise no primer. For painted surfaces, interior, primer is basically used to "start over". Like Ben Moore, Fresh Start.
Are the floors bare or already painted? You're going to make me drag every detail out of you, aren't you? Whether bare or painted, yes, sanding is important. However, you can't put "paint" on floors, you need a floor enamel. Paint is not formulated to be walked on. Priming instructions will be determined by the floor enamel of choice. Spend a few bucks on floor enamel, or you'll regret it, believe me. Don't go cheap on floor enamel, or you'll be sorry, trust me. Are you hearing me?
Sorry Wade, I meant to mention Zinsser 123 for the primer. I had the page to it opened, just went to close it and realized I never mentioned it. Then I notice that some other guy came along and beat me to it. :laughing:
That's a sign- that there are many. That means there is different ones for different situations- different problems.
If you are going over something glossy, AFTER a light scuff sand, you want a bomding primer. Zin123 is great for that.
If you are going over raw mud, patches, a variety of surfaces- you need a primer that will even out the porosity. And it also depends on the sheen of your finish coat.
!23 if going to something like an eggshell, Bulls Eye ( says dries flat) would be better for under a flat paint and ceilings.
Gardz can be used to seal, and also solve specialty problems.
Qality paints and primers have better and more resins in them along with 100% acrylic binders, where as cheaper paints lack the resins, binders and are probally not 100% acrylic. If you need to prime you should use a quality primer and not a vinyl primer. A quality primer will give you a better base coat for adhesion, better coverage and truer color for your final and finish coat of paint.
Most floor paints, enamels and epoxys don't require a primer. Proper prep will be needed though.
oh boy, this is more complicated then i thought.
i need to prime my walls because nothing has been done to it for over 15 years and it looks pretty dirty with dark spots etc.
ok, so my floor would this be good to use? http://www.benjaminmoore.com/portals...ecommended_for
For the zinsser 123 primer, should i get the water based? some say primer/sealer, would i need the sealer part? would i use the same prime for my wood floors(the floors are really old too(15 yrs) and scruffed up on most parts) after i sand?
THANKS JSHERIDAN, BRUSHJOCKEY and HOUSEPAINTNY!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Yes, use the latex 123.
For the floors, that would be great. However, you might be able to use a latex version. Personally, I would prefer oil for interior floors, it looks more decorative. An exterior porch floor I would use latex. Here is a link to the technical data page that might be of interest, it will have priming data. Keep us posted. It's better to come here with questions before you screw up than to come here after and ask how to fix them.
ok so for my walls i would use latex 123.
thanks for the link, for wood flooring it says "Wood (Flooring): Primer: Self Priming, apply 1 coat Porch & Floor Alkyd Porch & Floor Enamel Finish: 1 or 2 coats Porch & Floor Alkyd Porch & Floor Enamel" , so does that me i do not need to use a separate primer since it says "self priming"?
Yes. Be sure to give the floor a good sanding, cleaning, and vacuuming. And, vacuum again as you go. Wood floors never seem to be dust/dirt free enough for paint, especially a high gloss. I don't know what time zone you're in, but in this one it's past bedtime.
I wish we could learn to discuss them, and their hybrid forms.
Yes, the brand of any of these makes the same difference as quality paint. Behr primer is almost more crappy than their paint but you can get them together.
I adore discussions of how cheap paint and primer can be folded into one can. At the end of painting career I started mixing Benjamin Moore Alkyd based Fresh Start with thawed cans of Aura folks left to freeze over the winter. It saved them money.
Seriously, sometimes I can only watch and wonder:
About the floor paint- I respectfully put in a plug for the latex version of porch and floor- I have had real good luck with it and perfer its more eggshell ( and less slippery) sheen. It is a modified epoxy so isn't a week coating.
But it does depend what floor ( I have only used it on basement cement floors) and what kind of look you want.
And I back up the clean, clean vacuum vacuum and still you will have some bits.
Brush, I agree that oil has some shortcomings, odor, dry time (two to touch, 24 to recoat) using spirits, and it's high gloss is probably a nightmare in socks. But, it has a much nicer appearance, imo, from an interior design perspective. Is that a BM product you're referring to?
Thanks for all the info guys! so on sanding the wood floors, what is a cheap floor sander one i can buy? i only need to use it once so something cheap will do, preferably from home depot since i have a gift card. and what type of sand paper do i put on it?

We Hold This Monkey To Be Self-Evident
They say there are no monkey species native to North America. But we're a nation of immigrants anyway, right?
So if this monkey wants to come here to fill the monkey jobs that native-born Americans aren't equipped to do, we're not going to complain. You certainly can't fault his commitment to his adopted home: dude's sporting more stars and stripes than President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
There's one part of our way of life that our furry nationalistic friend won't assimilate, though: speaking English. Or Spanish. Or any other verbal language. It's not that he's against the idea. He just lacks the ability. But in the universal language of screaming, "EEEEEYAH EEYAH EEYAH EEYAH" means "God Bless America".
Warranty: None!
- Slingshot-like rubber arms
- Professed 50-foot flight range
- Majestic cape features equally majestic Woot logo
- Screams like the souls of the damned stretching on the racks of Hades

"No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed….procreation 'must be an act of love', saying: 'You are born to a mother and a father – or at least that's how it should be. …I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog. ..The family is not a fad. In it there is a supernatural sense of belonging."
Thus speaks iconic fashion designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana…
because, you know, coming off of their triumphant Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2015 "Viva la Mama" show, where they celebrate moms, motherhood and the family, they are also experts on family and parenting…as two men who have never been parents…ever…are.
I remember when I knew everything about parenting and raising up children…I was 18 and I was certain a family member was absolutely doing it all wrong while dealing with their strong-willed 3 year old. Being the expert that I was, I made sure they knew…and everyone else. Fast forward nine years later, I was dealing with my own strong willed 3 year old child and I realized that I would have absolutely bitch slapped 18 year old me if she was there in that moment telling me what to do.
Sometimes we need to just keep our expert opinions to ourselves.
Here's the thing Signori Dolce and Gabbana, you are correct in that everyone is entitled to their own opinion…no matter how ridiculous in my humble opinion. I am a woman in a traditional marriage with my darling husband with our family (which you apparently celebrate). Four of our perfectly wonderful children were conceived by us in the, ahem, conventional way, carried 8 months or more and after relatively easy, short labors, delivered into our arms. Our 5th child, also conceived in love, but by means of "chemistry", as you define it by a man and woman struggling with infertility. He grew for scarcely 6 months in another woman's womb (his biological mother's) and as god, fate, timing or whatever force of nature would have, he, soon after his birth, became my child…my husband's child…our son…our daughters little brother. Our son made of flesh, blood, bones, a brain, a heart, a soul…not a plastic child but absolutely a real child…very much real for the last thirteen years.
Your opinions, whether from the heart or flippant, I find to be hurtful and insulting. I understand that they are in defense of "traditional families" whatever that is supposed to mean to the majority of thinking people all over the world in 2015. Families today, in my neighborhood, my workplace, my city, my state, my country, literally all over the world can be defined as a mother and father and children, or a mother and mother and children, or a father and father and child, or a child and aunt and uncle, or foster parents and children…and on and on and on. Children are conceived in love by intercourse and in a laboratory, via IVF, via surrogate or sperm or egg donor. And children are adopted. While you have been designing and creating fashion for more than 30 years, the last 25 years as an RN in the NICU I have been privileged to witness the creation of more families than I can possibly keep count…families with straight parents, married parents, co-habitating parents, separated parents, divorced parents, single parents, gay parents, grandparents, adoptive parents, parents who struggled for years and years with infertility, parents welcoming a total oops in spite of the best birth control out there, jailed parents, addicted parents…name it and I will confirm for you that yes, those kind of parents too…all parents to real, living and breathing children…no matter how they were conceived…children, all part of a family…perhaps not your kind of family but still, nonetheless, a part of a family.
Yes, Signore Gabbana, we do need to "respect the ideas of others". Here is mine…
A child conceived via IVF, born to another woman calls me Mom and is very real, very natural and absolutely my child. Everyone is entitled to express their own opinion no matter how ridiculous. But a living, breathing, loving human child remains, always, real…
and at 13 sometimes too real!
Viva il bambino sintetico!
Viva la famiglia!

Junior high school textbooks approved for use starting in April 2016 contain heavier references to ongoing territorial disputes with China and South Korea. Most textbook publishers have nearly doubled their coverage of the subjects and in both cases present the government's official position.
Other publishers, meanwhile, are omitting mention of contentious historical issues — apparently for fear of a backlash — in a break with the long-standing practice of presenting diverse viewpoints. The issue of women and girls forced to work at wartime military brothels got a mention by only one textbook publisher.
The latest screenings, whose results were announced Monday, were the first to be conducted since the government revised textbook screening guidelines in January 2014. The guidelines now require textbooks to reflect the government's position on history and territorial issues.
Accordingly, all social studies textbooks that passed the education ministry's screenings this time contain references to both the Senkaku Islands, which are claimed by China, and the Takeshima islets, which are controlled by South Korea and claimed by Japan.
Textbooks compiled by private-sector publishers require the approval of the education ministry before they can be used in schools.
In the new textbooks, some publishers give detailed information about the disputed islands, including their precise location, the history of Japan's administration and what kinds of fish can be caught in waters nearby.
But the government's textbook screening committee was divided on how some books presented the issues, according to a member who sat through the screenings. One member argued that students would not be convinced by the government's official line that "no territorial dispute exists on the Senkakus."
But an education ministry official in charge of the screening process insisted that the government view must be clearly stated, which discouraged deep debate by the committee, the member said.
"South Korea, for example, rigorously teaches its students that Takeshima islets are its own," an education ministry official said. "We are merely trying to counter such moves."
An editor at a textbook publisher said the company had no choice but to follow the government line.
"The guidelines on school textbooks say in the strongest terms that we are supposed to 'accurately point out that the government is protesting the South Korean position on the (Takeshima) issue,' " the editor said. "In order to pass the screenings, the textbooks have to be written around the government's view."
Other industry sources said they can't afford to fail the screenings and thus lose business, as the textbook market continues to shrink along with the nation's declining population. School textbooks are renewed every four years, and if the publishers fail to get their books approved by the government, they must wait another four years to regain the contracts.
Publishers consider their descriptions of territorial issues as playing a pivotal role in the government's decisions on whether to adopt their textbooks or not.
In the latest screenings, many requests for modifications were made to descriptions of historical facts despite those passages having cleared previous screenings unchallenged.
For example, in a section explaining government policies in the Meiji Period, the phrase "expropriation of land from the (indigenous) Ainu people" was changed to "giving land to the Ainu people."
"It is true some (Ainu) people lost land, but the Meiji government made efforts to protect the Ainu population," said a ministry official, adding that they decided to demand higher standards of accuracy this time around.
As a result, descriptions have become somewhat standardized among the publishers. Six out of seven textbooks ended up playing down the Japanese wartime military's involvement in the mass suicides among Okinawans in the 1945 Battle of Okinawa, saying the locals were "driven into suicides."
A publisher explained why it "corrected" the original phrase "forced into suicides" by saying not all deaths were forced by the Imperial Japanese forces.
Meanwhile, on the contentious issue of "comfort women," or women and girls who were forced to work at Japanese military brothels before and during World War II, only one publisher — a new entrant in the textbook market — addressed the subject.
There has been fierce criticism from some corners of society of an overly "masochistic" view of history by those who address the matter head-on.
Other opinions that led to modifications of textbook descriptions included the addition of a sentence explaining the government's position that interstate compensation regarding Japanese militarism before and during World War II, and all other related issues, have been resolved.
The added sentence follows a description of the 1995 statement by Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama expressing "deep remorse" and a "heartfelt apology" for the suffering, mostly in Asia, caused by Japan's wartime "colonial rule" and "aggression."
The latest screenings, the second conducted under new curriculum guidelines calling for a shift away from yutori pressure-free education, resulted in thicker textbooks for all subjects.
As the screenings were the first conducted for junior high school textbooks since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region, many newly approved textbooks cover the twin disasters.
There were 58 textbooks that included descriptions of the natural disasters, with 35 also discussing the nuclear accident at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 power plant. Science textbooks included detailed explanations of radiation.

/// RIM Revival Rebutted
The recent bout of stock-market optimism that's lifted Research In Motion's shares more than 50 percent over the past 30 days, while a nice change of pace from the year-long bloodletting that preceded it, may prove ill advised in the months ahead. In fact, it may be one of the last rallies RIM's stock sees for some time. That's the bear take on the sudden upswell of goodwill that's buoyed RIM shares back into the $11 range. Its gist, as encapsulated by Morgan Stanley analyst Ehud Gelblum: RIM's better-than-expected second quarter earnings were an anomaly and not the beginning of a trend, BlackBerry 10 probably isn't going to save the company and this winter rally that's got investors so juiced will be short-lived. "We continue to believe BlackBerry 10 has a low chance of success," Gelblum said. "While some of the new features on BB10 seem innovative, we had a similar reaction to Palm's WebOS when we saw it at CES in '09. Ultimately we believe BB10 is too late, and subs continue to shift to competitive devices." Gelblum notes a few troubling stats to support his argument. The first, a mid-October global mobile workforce survey that found only 5 percent of respondents expecting to upgrade to a new BlackBerry. The second, an August IDC survey of 5,526 enterprise app developers that found that the number of devs who professed to be "very interested" in BlackBerry apps had fallen to 9 percent from 40 percent. Neither of those findings are surprising.

In February the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) published the latest headline report from the English Housing Survey (EHS). In 2008 the English House Condition Survey was merged with the Survey of English Housing to form the English Housing Survey.
This report shows the reduction in the rate of owner-occupation in England to 66%. The social rented sector accounted to for 17.5% of households and 16.5% were in the private rented sector – that is 3.6 million households in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) . Average weekly rents in the PRS were £160 compared to £79 in the social rented sector. So it is not surprise that the housing benefit bill is so large. Some 63% of households in the social rented sector were in receipt of Housing Benefit, compared with only 25% in the PRS but the mix of the PRS is very different from the social sector. This surely should highlight that it is not the total amount of Housing Benefit (HB) that is the problem, but the high cost of housing in England. What can be done to ensure that private landlords whose tenants are in receipt of HB/Local Housing Allowance (LHA) maintain conditions and the state is not subsidising exploitative landlords while protecting the tenants. The amount the government has to pay in support is a reflection of the over-valued and over-priced housing market – a reflection of the sins of previous governments over the past 30 years. Governments that presided over deregulated financial systems (excessive lending and indebtedness) and inadequate construction of homes.
Looking at conditions in the private sector the long-term trend for increased overcrowding in rented housing continued but the average energy efficiency of the stock continued to improve with the average SAP 55. However in the PRS some 638,000 homes are in Energy Efficiency Rating Bands F & G that is, they have a SAP of less than 38.
There was a slight reduction in the proportion of dwellings with dampness down to 7% (it was 13%) in 1996. That still amounts to 1.4 million homes, and dampness is most prevalent in the PRS where about 13% have some damp problems. In 2010 there 1.386million non-Decent Homes in the PRS. Of the non-Decent Homes in the PRS 858,000 had at least one Category 1 hazard. It is also worth noting that 2.613 million owner-occupied homes had at least one Category 1 hazard under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). Many of these will be on low incomes and often elderly. As a country we must surely be able to find ways of reducing the risks to health in these homes so as to keep them out of hospital and certainly to ensure that they have safe and warm homes to return to after they have been in hospital.
Although the Report indicates some marginal improvements in stock condition, there are still hundreds of thousands of homes that pose a risk to health and safety of the occupiers, and the rate at which these are being addressed is a sad reflection on successive governments. The reduction in the private sector housing renewal budget by DCLG does not help local authorities address the problems in the private sector.

The product is fully scalable, coving all required functionality for our ticket tracking initiatives. SunView as a vendor has been incredible to work with. they accommodated multiple demonstrations for our respective teams to view, provided multiple quotes, changing as requested - regularly on the fly - so we could ensure we covered all our bases.
I currently do not have any items to discuss for dislikes. Both the product and vendor have been great
I'd recommend that they evaluate all the needs - from Change Management, to SDLC to Incident and project management (if all are required) - and review a few systems - including Change Gear. After the price points for like products are compared, they will see the benefit to pursuing this application as their final solution

I liked best that the vendor worked with us on suggestions on how to increase certain capabilities of the product. They also made migrating to this product very simple. I also liked how the vendor thought logically about the functionality of the product and how it would be used in real world scenarios.
I have not ran into what I consider what I like least about the product or vendor.
It seems every company has their own certain way of doing change control, but having a tool that is customizable to your needs makes that process a lot easier. With that said walk through a change scenario with this product first and be open minded and I think you will see how logical it already is.

The ChangeGear product has all the tools needed to run a successful incident, change and help desk system. I have been a user for many years and the team at Sunview has always been top notch. Any questions, concerns or issues the support folks were right on it.
There isn't anything that I have personally come across that couldn't be handled in a timely manner. Not one piece that I would do away with.
Sunview Software ChangeGear is really a one stop application when looking for the total package.

The software offers a lot of features.The CMDB is a nice feature. Asset tracking is also great along with Problem and incident ticketing.
Took a while to program. Some programming took longer than expected.
Take a look at all the features that your company may need. Change Gear offers a lot of features a half the cost of other products.

The product allows a lot of flexibility to be adapted to the needs of our company. Able to automate a lot of functions and services that were manual to us before.
With flexibility comes risk and some of my pain areas are the support services (pay for support) has degraded since I first signed on and are difficult to arrange. When I do get someone I don't feel I get the value as many times it has to have several follow up calls to get it right and I get charged for the extra hours. Also, my account support has degraded since signing on with my initial account rep taking a new role.
Know your process and what you hope to achieve prior to shopping for a software to make sure what you pick will support your needs.
