"Better Give U Up", taken from my upcoming album French Kiwi Juice. I sing on this one

You my obsession
Ocean and lover
You my old passion
Patience was over
I was looking for another challenge
This huge ambition
I needed a change
Revenge, creation
Your eyes looks like a mirror
And no more a spell
Our minds were in a row
But look now unwell
Love is not enough
In order to last
Remember your laugh
Is part of my past
'Better give you up now somehow
But I'll never never never stop thinking of you' x2
Never, never, in the right place
For us to stand by each other
You'll have, you'll have, you'll have to replace
My face, my goodbye and find another
My heart was like a stone
When we stopped in pain
i felt like a clone
Cold blood in my veins
Forgive my silence
This absence of time
The crime of distance
Deception was prime
I keep a secret
Our great adventure
A kind of regret
Could it have been future?
Now going ahead
My hands play your touch
I'm taking this new gate
you bring me so much
'Better give you up now somehow
But I'll never never never stop thinking of you ' x4

Researchers from the Nokia Research Centre, in Cambridge, England, are working on a new breed of recharging technologies for mobile phones including a system based upon the ambient electromagnetic radiation principle.
The idea is that a future Nokia phone would never have to be charged from a wall socket or even via a solar radiation (such as the phones seen via Samsung and Sharp). The research is looking into the phone picking up radiation that is currently freely circulating all around us and is emanated from the likes of mobile phone masts, for example, converting that into usable electric signals, according to the Technology Review website.,
Working on the same principle as RFID (Radio-frequency identification), a prototype has been constructed to harvest five milliwats which is not a lot but a start. Researchers are working on another model to produce 10 times that amount that will allow a switched off battery to recharge - albeit rather slowly.
Markku Rouvala, one of Nokia's researchers from the Cambridge centre, says that "...it is possible to put this into a product within three to four years."

Solar Distributors: How Unbelievably Important Are They?
A contractor needs a distributor if they are going to run an efficient business. The distributor acts as the single point of contact for all of the things the contract needs to install a solar system. They provide access to modules, inverters, racking and all the ancillary services necessary. Some distributors even provide some design and engineering assistance. Distributors stand between the manufacturer and the contractor. They are in a unique position to gain knowledge which they can then pass on to the contractor. You can use this knowledge for long-term strategic decision-making. By establishing a business partnership with a distributor, the contractor gets access to tools and knowledge they need to give them a competitive advantage.
What exactly with which, can a distributor help?
The main service distributor will provide everything to the contractor. In Australia, there is a number of reputed and trustworthy distributors such as Euro Solar Australia. They act as a fully managed warehouse for everything the contractor needs; they usually also deliver equipment on site and job by job. They are also usually the contractor's first point of contact with new equipment, product innovations and if they provide design support they also generally provide help with permit preparation as well. One other service that people do not usually expect distributors to provide, but they often do, is that they can be the source of referrals. It can lead a contractor, with the help of distributors, to get many more project opportunities as well. Most good distributors will also keep contractors aware of local policy changes and be on top of any market forces that could be about to impact both businesses.
The ultimate beauty of such a partnership is that, as the partnership grows, both businesses tend to be able to reduce their risks. It also increases their sales along with their profitability and grows in their confidence to compete in the local marketplace effectively.
Just how do you choose your distributor partner?
According to eurosolar case study by Weboptimizers on behalf of Euro Solar Australia, most distributors will be looking for new customers to support, and that will probably be your initial contact with them. The first thing any contractor should do is their due diligence on the distributor. You can just about guarantee that the distributor will be doing the same to the contractor. The contract should also do their due diligence on the distributor's product range. The biggest thing both businesses must provide here is transparency. Without any transparency, the partnership has no chance of succeeding. Part of the selling process is that contractors provide confidence that their home and business customers can rely on them to do the right thing. A contractor must look to his distributor partner for the same instilling of confidence.
Needless to say, any quality distributor is going to have a proven track record of delivering quality equipment and services. Also, he will have the ability to set and fulfil accurate expectations and its partners. If a solo contractor is pursuing a partnership with a distributor, they should go in with an excellent understanding of what they considered to be valuable and important for the future of their business. Make a list of all your so-called pain points. Also, you need to work out any value adds or business driven questions before the initial meeting takes place. Having always questions answered satisfactorily fulfils your needs.
Both the contractor and the distributor should have and share some very straightforward thoughts on how they can both add value to each other's businesses and set their expectations accordingly.
What you will need to have ready in advance
If the distributor is serious about becoming a contractor's business partner, they will expect the contractor to provide them with certain documents that show how established the contractor's company is and how its future seems to be. Some of these documents are pretty basic but necessary.
- Any licenses and certificates that you must have to carry on the businesses
- As much financial information as you can provide both past and projections
- If you have them any credit references and current lenders references
- Customer references or project references. These have to support any figures supplied for the amount of work done both in the present and past.
If you're relatively new in the field, this tribute will probably also ask for other information to help them understand both your ability to carry on the business and that you have a sound financial base. You always have to remember that any partnership has to benefit both partners. Contractors should expect more certainty and greater consistency with every transaction while enjoying the support that such a relationship with a distributor can give them.

Description: To many people, hallucinations imply madness, but in fact they are a common part of the human experience. These sensory distortions range from the shimmering zigzags of a visual migraine to powerful visions brought on by fever, injuries, drugs, sensory deprivation, exhaustion, or even grief. Hallucinations doubtless lie behind many mythological traditions, literary inventions, and religious epiphanies. Drawing on his own experiences, a wealth of clinical cases from among his patients, and famous historical examples ranging from Dostoevsky to Lewis Carroll, the legendary neurologist Oliver Sacks investigates the mystery of these sensory deceptions: what they say about the working of our brains, how they have influenced our folklore and culture, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all.

Oliver Wolf Sacks is a neurologist and writer. He was born in London, England on July 9, 1933. Sacks earned his medical degree at Oxford University and performed his internship at Middlesex Hospital in London and Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco. He completed his residency at UCLA. In 1965, Sacks became a clinical neurologist to the Little Sisters of the Poor and Beth Abraham Hospital. He also worked with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Sacks' work in a Bronx charity hospital led him to write the book Awakenings in 1973. The book inspired a play by Harold Pinter and became a film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Sacks was also elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He also wrote Mind's Eye which made The NewYork Times Bestseller list for 2010.

Ok, I have a theory of what the Demons and Angels are like in the New DmC game.
You see, since Dante is clear to be seen by humans and demons, could it be possible that an angel (in DmC) isn't really an angel from the bible? Maybe an angel is like, what they call a human who has the ability to kill demons. Perhaps an angel is like this Holy Warrior whose duty is to defend the people from the demons who are controlling humanity (like the Grey Wardens from Dragon Age). This would make sense how Dante can be seen by humans and demons and yet the humans themselves cannot see the demons.
Could it be possible that an angel is actually some type of ancient warrior destined to face the demons? I don't know, I'm wondering that, I don't know if this is true but if it were true, it would make sense. What do you guys think of this?

Our wine tasting krewe just returned from what's become our annual Mardi Gras trip to Paso Robles, and I'm going to use a few posts to capture some of the highlights. If you have yet to venture to the Central Coast, put it on your priority list.
This year's itinerary was highlighted by several different experiences with Epoch. A couple of those opportunities arose from my contacts with winemaker Jordan Fiorentini connected to our recent interview. Interview with Jordan of Epoch
On our first day, Jordan graced us with barrel tastings of what will be Epoch's fall lineup. For a wine geek, there's nothing quite like having the undivided attention of a passionate, premier winemaker in that kind of setting. The wines were spectacular (something well worth anticipating), but a bigger treat for our group was simply getting to know the person behind the wines... Read the full blog by clicking here.

The house at Westport's 150 Imperial Ave. was demolished today. Built in 1951, the 1 1/2-story cape had 1,472 square feet, was situated on a .31-acre property and changed ownership in October for $540,000. Terry Hanley, 53, who said he was born and raised in the house where his parents resided since 1955, recalled the entire area was supposed to be turned into a cemetery but was later developed by Westport's Kowalsky Brothers for homes.

|Start new thread in this topic | Flip this thread | Refresh the display
Oooh can we have a thread about things you said and thought about your Precious First Born which make you blush looking back on it(314 Posts)
Following on from the other thread which was veering that way.
My mum said she had seen a baby on the telly who was the same age as DS (three months) who seemed more alert than DS. I cried into a muslin.
Not read all the threads but I went through just about all of these with my two. In fact I still sometimes sit on the toilet seat to warm it up for a few minutes, after ascertaining from my 4yo that he needs to go for a poo..... (he so hates to sit on a cold seat that it puts him off...used to result in an accident, but why am I still doing it???)
You are all mental. I did none of this. Of course I'd leave DS1 upstairs asleep and come downstairs when we'd just brought him home
Mind you, I did cut the top off his finger when I was cutting his nails when he was about 8 weeks old. I sobbed "I've never seen his blood before and I wouldn't have done yet if I'd not been such a bad mother" fgs. (Ignoring the fact I had seen his blood when he had his heel prick test.
I was a bit obsessed with weighing but I liked talking to people at the clinic.
Ringing for the midwife a couple of hours after dd was born. I was in a blind panic because she had hiccups...
God, I must have been a really "uncaring" mother. The only thing I can think of that's on this list that I did was to record how long he fed on each boob and at waht time, and when/waht bowel movements he had had. But then - he'd had jaundice and then wasn't gaining weight, so I was actually advsied to do this by the Breast feeding specialisats at the hospital.
I never had any problems going to the loo - or even having a leisurely, lavender oil infused (for healing purposes of course! ) bath - and leaving ds in his crib (fed and changed, so if he did cry, I knew it wasn't anything serious) - from less than a week old - ie as soon as I go home (which was at 5 days, 'cos of the jaundice).
The only thing I can think of is that we did keep the cats - who were used to sharing our bed, out of our room while ds slept in the crib beside us, and out of ds' room, when he transferred to the cot.
Does being paranoid that if I gave him any formula mil, my own milk would immediately dry up count? . Certainly worked as an incentive to persevere at the breast feeding when the little tyke, sorry, darling, pretended to suck and wasn't actaully taking anything - hence the slow weight gain . Did succeed in feeding him for 13 months - and if I were able to have another one, would this time look at the baby rather than the scales. If he/she is happy, healthy and alert, who cares what weight he/she is?
Before DS was born had to move all our medicines from the floor level cupboard they lurked in - got quite obssesive about needing to do it. Of course newborn babies are well known for their crawling/cupboard opening skills. Ok a job that needed to be done but not for another 6-8 mths!!!!
These are soooo funny . Laughing my head off at work .
I remember really looking forward to taking my newborn twins to the baby clinic for the first time to be weighed and I spent ages dressing them up in their gorgeous little clothes. When I arrived I was quite surprised/shocked at the lack of effort everyone had seemed to make with their babies, they all seemed to be in babygros.
I soon realised why, when I spent about 30 minutes undoing weeny cardigan buttons and trying to get teeny tights on wriggly newborn legs, with a long queue of grinning mums behind me.
Oh, agree baby massage and any other classes that get you out of the house and meeting other people are A Good Thing. Apart from anything else, tiny babies (and older onese too) just like to be touched gently. Was just 'aving a laff at my earnest new mum self.
I developed an almost OCDish compulsion about sterilising with DS. I expressed for 4 months, as I couldn't bf & my routines resembled pollyannas. I used to have to wash every item of the expressing machine twice in boiling soapy water, because I was overcome with terror that there was bacteria I hadn't removed.
My hands were raw from washing.
Was definitely a first-timer thing as I didn't was obsessively with DD at all.
I now I bet you let him juggle knives don't you Pollanna! (Quote: Parenthood)
I was quite mad when I had ds.
I kept the flat at a steady 18 degrees evem though that was too cold (and every room had one of those mothercare thermometers)
at 6 months and 1 day moved ds into a room of his own (FSID guidelines)
nearly hit another mother when she called ds "placid" (mind you she did tell me how bored her ds was when he was 2 weeks old )
when I expressed milk, I sterilised the pump, then because I had opened the steriliser, I re-sterilised the bottle while I was expressing and sometimes, I re-sterilised the lid while I was putting the milk in the bottle. If I ever dropped a bit of the bottle/breast pump on the side, I re-sterilised everything (I was a bit obsessed with sterilising).
I massaged ds with olive oil every night with the techniques learnt at the baby massage class(in his lovely bath stand which we lovingly wheeled into the living room every night).
I was too ashamed of ds's apgar score to tell anyone (he was born with the cord round his neck, so wasn't very responsive) )
Oh I was pretty unhinged looking back.
My dh would video our pfb at any avaliable opportunity and show anybody who came to the house. Even I was embarassed that he didn't cut out the 20 mins of video showing the parent end of the baby monitor with the light going backwards and forwards as dd made cooing noises in her cot upstairs
For months I assumed that every time pfb cried it was because she needed her nappy changing...
I took mine to baby massage etc mainly so that somebody would make me a decent cup of tea cos I never got to drink a full one at home!
Was slightly surprised when I took ds (then aged 2) to Jo Jingles and saw a mum & dad there with a week old baby (who was asleep!)
I said I would never have an epidural.. women managed perfectly well without them for millenia and natrual was the way to fo!
Ha fecking ha! I screamed "GET ME AN ANAESTHETIST NOW!!!!!" repeatedly until one arrived and demanded immediate epidurals in early labout in subsequent child birth scenarios.
Not sure if this is exactly relevent but it sprang to mind.
That level pain is not normal, reasonable... or.... ethical!!!
I also remember thinking that every other mother in the maternity ward must be envying me because my baby was so much more beautiful than theirs .
I got in such a state about keeping stuff sterile. I had worked in a cell culture lab where something ceases to be "sterile" if it is even exposed to ordinary air. So if Ds1's dummy dropped out of his mouth (which happened about every 5min) I would immediately whisk it away and produce another, and when I ran out I would rush around trying to sterilise more while carrying him the whole time because he basically wouldn't be put down without a dummy for the first few weeks. It was a good few months before I realised that such caution wasn't entirely necessary .
Oh gOd, Mrs S, your children mirror mine. DS1 was v unpleasant for the first year. He cried non stop and always had an angry scowl on his (naturally handsome) face
DS2, however is a picture of tranquility. He sleeps, he smiles and is an all round good boy! (he's only 5.5 months thouigh, so there;s still time)
y bil and sil picked us up once when dd1 was 3 months old, was convinced pfb had to go in the front of the car, was extremely upset that they wouldnt let him cos sil gets claustrophobic .... of course they were right, he was in the back, with us!
I've been laughing so hard reading these! Of course now that I know "better" I'm warning everyone to let me know if I get crazy when the time comes...
I do recall my step sister royally pissed my father off when she had her PFB. She wouldn't let him hold the baby because he "didn't know how." This after he raised his six siblings and had two kids of his own. My father STILL holds it against her but to be fair, her PFB AND her PSB are in their teens and she STILL is an anal retentive pain in the butt about them. God forbid they should take the bus alone. The boy is SEVENTEEN!
Mine is now 8 weeks old and so far...
went to baby rhyme time at the library at 2 weeks.
joined up to library and took out books at 4 weeks - read these to him (ie show him the pictures) at least every other day.
went to singing classes at 4 1/2 weeks (had been planning to wait until 6weeks but happened to be passing and he was awake - have gone back every week so far!)
took him swimming at 7 weeks (am taking him again today as he seemed to really enjoy it, the big bath at home is just not the same!)
Just about got over my waking in the night convinced I have sufficated baby when he is in the cot - I have fallen asleep once when winding and drifted off whilst feeding once as well so guess these panics are slightly justified!
Re: shaken baby syndrome - at 6 weeks we went jogging as a family (dh pushing pram, no way i'd have the strength) - have decided now this prob wasn't the best thing to do and will wait a couple of months!
Plus am signed up for baby massage / yoga and very much looking forward to it.
Am sure there are other things I have done that people think are crazy.
Right, ds has fallen asleep just as his schedule says he should so i'm off to sleep too!
If I was visiting anyone with pets , as soon as I got home I had to take all his clothes off and completely wash them all even his coat and wash him to get all those animal germs off him.
I would not let my brother hold him as he wore rings and they might scratch the baby and would not wear any myself.
I bleached my kitchen every night
I would not put him down, and would not let anyone help
MMm.. some of these things I still do now he is 7
In the late stages of pregnancy with dd1, I went out and bought white card and a black marker pen and prepared lots of handmade flashcards for her
I enrolled her with the local library when she was 2 weeks old. (DD2 is 21 months old and still hasn't joined, she just shares dd1's books.)
When dd1 was about 3 months old, I took photos of her every 10 minutes all day to illustrate a 'day in the life of dd1'.
I'm PMSL at this thread, yet I know I'm going to be the most over-protective, hysterical mother for the first few months.
Maybe I should copy it into a Word Doc and refer back to it for a sanity check after I've had this baby.

Sorry MrsS xposted my flippant post before seeing yours.
Although if they're a nightmare it's sometimes even more imporatnt to go out
I took PFB to music group, swimmimg lesson, baby massage, gymfants....I think that was it..
All you first time mums ignore this thread and do it, and then laugh at yourself in 5yrs time.
It a sign of enthusiasm (Ok over enthusuasm) but that's a good thing.
Besides you've got to do something with the time, and you always go for a coffee after

8.1 hours: the average amount of sleep needed by adults every night (www.netdoctor.com)
'Sleep hath its own world', wrote the poet Lord Byron but 200 years on we are little the wiser about this mysterious altered state of consciousness in which we spend nearly one third of our lives.
Certainly, physiologists have identified four "stages" of sleep each with its own distinct pattern of electrical activity in the brain but the whys and wherefores of its restorative powers remain as elusive as ever.
And so, too, the medley of intrusive nocturnal symptoms – spasms, cramps, bizarre sensations and the like – that can disturb the deepest slumber to induce a state of chronic exhaustion. The commonest must be nocturnal cramps that propel the sufferer out of bed to patrol the bedroom floor. The standard preventive therapy is quinine, taken either as a tablet or in the form of tonic water, but the ever-lengthening list of remedies suggests a host of other possible causes.
These include, surprisingly, the popular heartburn remedy Tumms whose active ingredient calcium carbonate stabilises the muscles. By contrast, compressing between finger and thumb the philtrum of the upper lip (just beneath the nose) can bring instantaneous relief through a reflex stimulation of the nerves in the spinal cord. Next comes a variety of unpleasant sensations of which the vile feeling of ants (or worms) crawling up and down the limbs – typical of restless legs syndrome – is the most familiar. There are several variants, like a burning sensation or painful itch on the soles of feet and excruciating waves of pain likened to a "swarm of bees all stinging at one time".
While it appears these sensations are caused by some disturbance of nerve function in the lower limbs, they in fact arise from the sensory cortex of the brain. Thankfully, the Parkinson's drug Ropinirole in small doses is an effective antidote.
Two further readily treatable sleep-disturbing syndromes are, first, the exhausting ritual of having to rise several times at night to pass large quantities of urine – otherwise known as benign nocturnal polyuria. This can be mitigated by a dose of aspirin or Nurofen on retiring.
Then waking in the early hours with a pounding heart and racing pulse is due, it now appears, to acid reflux which (by some obscure mechanism) stimulates the vagus nerve to the heart. Hence, and logically, many obtain considerable relief from taking the acid suppressant Omeprazole at night. There is, of course, much more but the principle holds that these intrusive nocturnal symptoms should not be permitted to get in the way of a restorative night's sleep.

Instructors consistently ask for a textbook that helps students understand the relationships between the main concepts of biology, so they are not learning facts about biology in isolation. Mader's Concepts of Biology was developed to fill this void. Organized around the main themes of biology, Concepts of Biology guides students to think conceptually about biology and the world around them. Just as the levels of biological organization flow from one level to the next, themes and topics in Concepts of Biology are tied to one another throughout the chapter, and between the chapters and parts. Combined with Dr. Mader's hallmark writing style, exceptional art program, and pedagogical framework, difficult concepts become easier to understand and visualize, allowing students to focus on understanding how the concepts are related.

Its been quite the offseason for Johnny Manziel. In a span of six months he's gone from winning the Heisman Trophy to now becoming a train wreck similiar to the Justin Bieber show. Manziel needs to quickly realize he's being closely watched in this social media age and that it can hurt his professional stock going forward.We all did some wild and crazy things while we were teenagers and especially in college. Who amongst us still has a college story that's so embarrassing that your spouse or parent still doesn't know about? Imagine if Twitter or Facebook would have been around then? Most of us would have to go into the witness protection program. That is life today, especialy for Manziel, who is the first freshmen to win the Heisman trophy. Manziel has to realize that he is not bigger than Texas A&M or colege football. He also has to realize that everything he does whether good or bad is being chronicled. All the negative press will feed to he NFL, where teams will not only look at his faults but also Manziel's ability to lead. The starting quarterback is the face of the franchise. So whether you party hard during the week, when its practice time on Wednesday, you can't hit the snooze button. In the professional world, poor tweets and staying out all night are not reasons to miss work. If you are coach Kevin Sumlin or Manziel's parents its time to sit the young man down and have him understand what's at stake for im. Manziel needs to realize that the target on his back in bigger and the once quiet life of anonimity is now gone. Although he is still 20, the leadership mantle is now thrust upon him and with that mantle comes great responisibilty. Manziel not only leads his university but he is the face of college football.Manziel has to be as good or even better than last year on the field and in the tough SEC it will be difficult. Another step he can take is by showing everyone that he owns up to his mistakes and will come out of all the controversy by being a better leader. We will see if Johnny Football is contrite and honest at SEC Media day. As the Sting song says "I'll Be Watching You..."

TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2010 -- (House of Representatives - July 23, 2009)
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. I thank my colleague who does an excellent job in chairing the subcommittee.
While the author of this amendment and myself both serve on the Financial Services Committee, I think I can say that on a bipartisan basis over the years, the Financial Services Committee has shown a lot of support for this program and for improving it.
The gentleman cites some unexpended balances, but here's the problem. There's kind of a catch-22 here. If program money is spent too rapidly and it is then spent inefficiently, there is criticism. What has happened with HOPE VI is that in response to some legitimate criticism, some controls were proposed to slow things down. This money ultimately gets spent, but it gets spent in a way that is less likely to be abused.
It is also the case that there is a kind of ``you lose either way'' argument made against public housing. Often the criticism is in that public housing warehouses people in large projects that do not have the capacity to provide a decent living environment. HOPE VI is an effort to preserve the units, because we do have a shortfall for family public housing in many parts in the country, not in all, but by redoing the projects to remove the stigma that has attached. And if you get rid of the HOPE VI program, you then abandon the notion that you are going to go to existing public housing to try to make it more livable and less concentrated.
Now, that's not an easy thing to do. We've been working, again, in a bipartisan way on ways to improve that, to bring in other services, to coordinate how you do it. But to simply shut the program off is, I think, to say to the people who live in the public housing that was built inappropriately--the residents didn't build it, society built it and put them there.
It would say, We are abandoning any effort to improve the liveability of where you are, and also then make them more vulnerable to criticism and build opposition to the whole notion, when the alternative is to make the living conditions better for the people in the surrounding communities.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. I thank the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee for his leadership on this issue, which has been sustained.
The question is not whether or not we should be working to see that public housing residents require the skills, et cetera, that will help them, but how to do it.
The community service requirement is a slapdash, honored in the breach. It's a mandate resisted and resented by the people who have to administer it. We have in the bill that we voted out of committee today by a large vote, bipartisan vote, the reform of the voucher system, which both the public housing and for vouchers includes the Moving to Work program, which is a sophisticated and balanced way to do this and provides funding for it.
Those who administer public housing want to do that. They want to help people do this. But imposing on them the requirement to do work, imposing on people who are already underfunded the obligation to mandate whether every public housing resident is doing 8 hours of leaf raking and snow shoveling doesn't help anybody. It advances nothing. And it gets in the way of efficient administration.
We will do this the right way. And this is the wrong way, according to everyone who has been involved in a serious way with it.

IN 1948, when the Emmy Awards were first given out, the trade paper Variety wrote, ''Emmy Oscar's kid sister, made her debut.'' Poor little Emmy went reeling into an inferiority complex from which she has yet to recover. If Emmy were an actual person she would have spent the last decades on a psychiatrist's couch whinning that she'll never measure up to Oscar: she'll never give her winners the same commercial boost, the stars who come to her party will never be as glamorous or important and, the ultimate insult, not as many people will watch her television show. And television is supposed to be hers! It's enough to make a viewer shout: Grow up! (And while you're at it, lose the cutesy metaphor - you're not a real person.)
Perhaps that's not sound psychiatric advice, but saying such a thing might be a relief for all of us who have watched the Emmys do a tiresome imitation of the Oscars year after year, from timid nominations to bloated, self-important ceremonies.
This year the Emmys have their best chance yet to come into their own. When HBO's Mafia-boss-on-Prozac saga, ''The Sopranos,'' was nominated for 16 awards, more than any other show, it was triumph for a series whose power owes much to television's cumulative, episodic structure. Those nominations acknowledged that television is at its finest when it is most daring and innovative. And (why should this shock programmers?) popularity can actually flow from artistic succes; viewers couldn't stop talking about the series. ''The Sopranos'' represents television at its mature best.
So when the Emmys are presented tonight (the show begins at 8 on Fox), a big win for ''The Sopranos'' would mean more than honor for one show. It would reward television's energy and future rather than its worn-out past, and would display an attitude rare for the Emmys, one connected to the way people really watch television today.
The television landscape is not merely bigger now; cable channels like HBO are a crucial part of it, no some odd little detour. It's possible to live in a world without CNN - you could also live in a cave - but who would want to?Continue reading the main story
Television's expansion comes with its harsh realities, too. Much of television is no longer free; even basic cable costs money. (Television wanted to be more like the movies? There you go.)
Too many Emmy voters, all members of the television industry, have been reluctant to embrace such changes. In the last few years, especially, the networks and the cable channels have squabbled about nominations in a way that could only interest their stockholders. Giving new meaning to the phrase ''sour grapes,'' the networks have complained that cable channels, notably HBO, have monopolized the made-for-television movie category and campaigned unfairly by sending judges cassettes. HBO's response has been the equivalent of ''Nyeh, Nyeh, Nyeh.'' Truly, does a single viewer care? To us, television is simply television. No one on the planet has ever been known to say, ''I think I'll watch a little pay cable instead of broadcast TV tonight.''
The Emmys have remained backward-looking even when they have seemed to look forward. HBO's ''From the Earth to the Moon'' won for best mini-series last year (there were those cassettes, after all), but we'll never know how much of that was because of Tom Hank's presence and movie-star cachet. ''The Sopranos'' is pure television, far removed from Hollywood glitz. And it deserves to win in every category in which it has been nominated. (Two weeks ago it won for casting and editing in the ''creative arts'' categories, which translates as the Emmys too small to be given out on camera.)
In the major categories, it was absolutely the best drama series of the year. James Gandolfini should win for best actor in a drama series; he towered over everyone else on television with his sympathetic portrayal of Tony Soprano, a suburban family man who happens to be a coldblooded killer. Nancy marchand matched him as his devious mama, Livia. Anyone who can convincingly put out a mob hit on her own son should at least win for best supporting actress. And Edie Falco should win for best actress in a drama series for her flawless portrayal of Tony's sharp-tongued wife, Carmela.
Of course, they could all lose. At the fourth Emmy Awards, in 1951, Red Skelton beat Lucille Ball in a category called best comedian or comedienne and told the audience, ''You've given it to the wrong redhead.'' The Emmys have been getting plenty of things wrong ever since. ABC's glittering ''Sports Night,'' the season's best show after ''The Sopranos,'' was not nominated for best comedy or best drama series, though it should have been in both categories.
But there are also encouraging signs that call attention to the breadth of talent in television. In at least two categories, whoever gets an Emmy will deserve to. The category of best supporting actor in a drama series is full of substantial nuanced performances: Michael Badalucco and Steve Harris in ''The Practice,'' Steven Hill and Benjamin Bratt in ''Law and Order,'' Noah Wyle in ''E.R.'' (O.K., he's really a leading actor, but let him win. ''E.R.'' would be lost without him.)
And the best supporting actress in a comedy category is loaded with matchless though wildly different performances: Lucy Liu in ''Ally McBeal,'' Wendie Malick in ''Just Shoot Me,'' Lisa Kudrow in ''Friends'' (you think it's easy being ditsy?), Doris Roberts in ''Everybody Loves Raymond'' (you think it's easy being a mother?) and Kristen Johnston in ''Third Rock From the Sun'' (you think it's easy being from another plante?).
It would be a treat to see an entertaining show surrounding all this, though history suggests that may be a futile hope. The predictable list of presenters ranges from the famous (Calista Flockhart, Ally McBeal herself) to the you-know-his-face-but-not-his-name (Eric McCormack, half of ''Will and Grace''). The hosts, David Hyde Pierce and Jenna Elfman, may be amiable, but hosts have never done much to enhance the show's liveliness or deflate its pomposity.
For relief viewers can turn to the goofiest aspect of the Emmy hoopla. E! Entertainment Television promises a 10-hour marathon of coverage before and after the ceremony, complete with Joan Rivers making fawning or snarky remarks about the stars' fashions. Fox will also have a star-gazing preshow (scheduled for 7 P.M. but expected to be delayed by a football game broadcast on the East Coast until about 7:30).
And there are always the delicious little surprises that make awards shows worthwhile. I'd love to see Sam Shepard win best actor in a mini-series or movie for his portrayal of Dashiell Hammett in ''Dash and Lilly.'' A treasure of a playwright and a first-rate actor, he almost made one of the worst-written movies of the year watchable. What could be more absurdly fitting, or more in touch with the essence of so much television acting, than rewarding that kind of heroic struggle? On second thought, maybe Emmy isn't growing up after all.

Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year between 5 and 20 percent of people in the United States get the flu. More than 200,000 are hospitalized due to flu-related complications and nearly 36,000 die from causes related to the virus. The incubation period is about one to four days.
Incubation Period
According to the CDC, although the incubation period can range from one to four days, the typical incubation period is two days. People can begin infecting others about one day before any symptoms of the virus appear, and are contagious for about a week after that.
Signs of the flu include high fever, headache, extreme fatigue, sore throat, coughing, muscle aches and pains, and sometimes a runny or stuffy nose.
The flu is caused by a virus. It's often spread by an infected person coughing or sneezing near someone else, who then comes into contact with tiny infected droplets. The virus can also be spread if someone touches his nose or mouth after coming in contact with the influenza virus.
Flu Vaccine
The flu vaccine greatly reduces the risk of catching the flu. There are two ways it is administered: an injection, which contains the dead virus; or a nasal spray, which contains the live virus in a weakened form.
Flu Season
The CDC notes that flu season can begin as early as October but usually peaks during February.
