A new day, the sun rises over the darkness that befalls me. People are hash animals, nothing more. They just think they are better because they can reason. They want to hurt you so they can feel better about themselves. Death has moved on to those who have hurt me. I am strong. I can stand with pride knowing that I have give and not received. I have love with all my heart, and it has not been facilitated. Though I love her dearly, and she has broken my heart it is not crushed. It is her lost, my love, for it is stronger than the sea itself. One day soon she will wish she had return my love in sort, so that she could receive the benefits there of. I do sorry for my loss, because my heart is good and will ways forgive and forget. I am not a bad person, because I have issues with people not answering me when I ask them important question. I take care of people I love, and I do expect them to reciprocate in like manner. And they should, but people only think about themselves. SO Now I must think about myself. Damn all you people who think you are better than me. I know what I am, do you know what you are? Some day I will put my weapon in my mouth and blow my brains out over the red flower that can not love me, but not today. I have music to write and a business to build. Then when she comes to me, I will say no.

on the beach, with the lake stretched out in front of me. Okay, every now and then
the weather does misbehave, but nowhere near as much as it does elsewhere.
Thanks to our lake and the other Great Lakes, our weather is a bit more predictable.
Now don't go flying off on a tangent. I said A BIT.
For instance unlike most of the world, when we get hit by
lake effect snow storms there will not be any rain or ice accompanying it because lake effect snow is not formed
by any STORM clouds. Bet you didn't know that. Well you do now.
Because of the buffering zone
of the lake,we do't get the violent summer storms the rest of you get either. Not exactly sure why, but I suppose if you're really interested I could haul my butt to the library.
Speaking of library, I probably SHOULD go to the library. The new novel
I'm working on, yes I AM a writer, nice to meet you, needs some work. Having never actually
COMMITTED murder outside my novels, I don't have a
clue, yet, how to murder exotically but in a way no one will FIND it
Arsenic poisoning has already been done
to death...no pun intended.
Hmmm, did you hear that?
The wind is sure picking up. The weatherman wasn't calling for any storms this morning...course it is October and ANYTHING can happen in October around the lakes.
I need to flip on the TV,
but I'd really like to zip to the library...oh man. That wind is howling like
a banshee...
I hate TV's when storms are coming. I can never get the station adjusted, JUST right; frigging satellite dish.
Ahhh, finally.
Well, that takes care of going to the library...shoot. I'd better scurry outside and batten down the patio stuff.
Fighting the force of the approaching HUGE storm's headwinds, our writer wrestles with the lounge chair cushion. She wanted to go this way, but the wind wanted to go that way...Who do you think is going to win?
swearing none too lady-like and being tossed around like
a ragamuffin,
Jordan Blake was out of breath and certainly delerious when she saw it. It was an IT right? It couldn't be...a human washed up on her shore.
Nah...and yet...
Stranger On The Shore by
Roseanne Dowell is due to be released on March 1, 2011 by the
Muse It Up side of Muse Publishing Inc.
What is the mass, Jordan can almost see through the increasing intenstity of
Mother Nature at her
angriest? Man, or a huge pile of litter?
What if it is human and...
dead? She couldn't leave it there for the
angry waters to reclaim it, but she so did not want to wait out this storm with a corpse as a visitor.
Inching ever closer to the "mound", Jordan has one foot in reverse and the other inching forward.
Stranger on the Shore...what will Jordan find, and will her discovery change the peaceful life she'd grown accustomed to?
STRANGER ON THE SHORE by Roseanne Dowell, with its amazing cover by the

Little Watermelon
Hey guys, so this is my first Cory in the House fanfic. Please be nice!!
Plot Summary:
Newt and Meena are about to become parents. They have everything arranged, and colors and the bedroom set. There's just one problem…they don't have a name for their baby!!
"NEWTON LIVINGSTON, MY WATER BROKE!" Meena Livingston called to her husband of 4 years.
"Meena, baby, chillax. Your water didn't break, since water CAN'T break. It flows and spills, but honey it doesn't break" Newt said to his wife. Even at 25, Newt still had the knowledge (and blondeness) of a 5 year-old child.
"Newt, in other words, I am about to push a baby the size of a 10 pound watermelon, through a tiny opening the size of a penny. Let's go to the hospital NOW!?" she screeched.
"Oooohhhhh, WELL YA COULD HAVE SAID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE YA KNOW!?" he yelled back, flailing his arms about.
Meena merely rolled her eyes, and headed to the car, getting in the passenger side. Newt followed a couple seconds after.
"Ow ow ow, this hurts so much! No more sex, Newton, do you hear me? .SEX!?" Meena screamed as loud as her lungs would allow.
"What about the name Madison, Newt? Or something unique?" Meena asked. She had calmed down a great deal since deciding to get the epidural (or as Newt called it, the sharp hell stick!). The baby's gender was unknown, so Meena and Newt had no clue what they were having.
"Okay Meena, time to push. Baby names are bestly chosen after the little one arrives" Dr. Sagerkins (couldn't resist!) told Meena.
"Okay, but nothing stupid, right Newt?" she asked her husband. Newt was not listening, so he shrugged.
17 Hours Later…
"Okay Meena, one more push, and you'll have your beautiful baby, okay?" Dr. Sagerkins asked his patient.
"Okay, then I can rest, right?" she asked him. Her eyes were bloodshot, red, puffy, and she had noticeable bags under her eyes.
"Oh, don't worry honey, your doing just fine. Unlike my mom. She labored for 11 hours, sneezed, and out I popped. Apparently right into my doctor's awaiting arms" Newt said.
Meena sent Newt such a scary glare that if looks could kill, he would be long gone by now.
"You greedy, selfless American with so much pride you drown in it, I am in labor with a clone of you! I could care less if you were born in 20 seconds, let alone 11 hours. I have been in labor " – Meena was cut off by the cries of a baby.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby boy" Dr. Sagerkins told Newt and Meena. Meena got a close look of her child, pointing to Newt his dark brown hair, and beautiful brown eyes.
"I'm just going to weigh him, and then you may hold him" the doctor told the couple.
"Good job baby. You look awful though, maybe you should rest your eyes" Newt told her, clearly not thinking. He gave his wife a smile, as she again, sent him a death glare, and out of nowhere, kicked him in the groin.
"Serves you right for telling me that I look like shit, Newton. I just labored for 18 god damn hours, duh!" she said, clearly upset.
The anger subsided immediately when her son was placed in her arms. The baby looked into her eyes lovingly, and just stared at his mother for what seemed like hours.
"Very healthy, Mrs. Livingston. 8 lbs 7 oz. and almost 23 minches long. His APGAR test will be done in a few minutes. But first, he needs a name" the doctor finished.
Meena and Newt exchanged glances with one another. A smile was graced on both their faces, as they agreed on the perfect name for their son.
"Watermelon Newton Livingston" they chorused. In truth, they liked odd names, and Watermelon matched their son perfectly, since his face was as pink as the inside of a watermelon.
"Okay, so here is his birth certificate, and I like the name. Not every day someone names their child after a fruit as balky as a watermelon" he chuckled, earning some smiles from the new parents.
Newt took his son's birth certificate, and read it over.
Name: Watermelon Newton Livingston
Date of Birth: March 9, 2017
Time: 4:12 p.m.
Weight: 8 lbs 7 oz
Parents: Meena and Newton Livingston
Smiling, Newt took his son out of his sleeping wife's arms, and held him close to his heart. It was the only part of Newt that felt secure. He was scared shitless when Meena had told him she was pregnant. Part of him wanted to run away and hide, and the other part wanted to stay and be there for Meena.
With a big smile, Newt gazed at his son, before speaking to him.
"I'm glad I stayed, or I never would have had the chance to meet you, Little Watermelon" he said, before letting a lone tear fall.
A/N: SOOOOO, do you guys like it?? I always thought that Newt was funny, odd and cute all at once!! Sounds just like Newt to name his kid Watermelon, now doesn't it??

Seventh Avenue (1977)
Directed by Richard Irving / Russ MayberryGenres - Drama, Romance | Run Time - 100 min. | Countries - USA |
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Seventh Avenue followed Captains and the Kings and Once an Eagle as the third attraction on NBC's Best Sellers series of 1976-77. This adaptation of Norman Borger's novel stars Steven Keats as Jay Blackman, who rises from the New York tenements of the 1930s to become a powerful figure in the garment industry of the 1940s and 1950s. Along the way, Blackman has his fair share of amorous and life-threatening situations. At times he seems to do nothing but hold off women with one hand, and stave off the Mob with the other. Presented in three 2-hour installments from February 10 through February 24, 1977, Seventh Avenue was followed by the fourth and final Best Sellers installment, The Rheinman Exchange.

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander. A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.
Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used. For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.
AND and OR may be used in a search. Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance."
The + and - sign operators may be used. The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".
To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks. For example, "Project Finance".

With ministers being held to account through e-petitions and technology fueling a new age of people power, Ben Fowkes explains how digital democracy is changing the global political landscape.
Our democracy is changing. New digital technologies and the forms of participation they promote are beginning to erode and supersede the traditional idea of the representative democracy that we've become accustomed to. The last general election neatly outlined both the problem and hope for the future – politicians largely don't represent the hopes and aspirations of citizens anymore and the voting system is skewed in favour of the major parties; all of this against a back-drop of a surge of political interest. This is where digital democracy presents an opportunity for change.
The question then has to be – what the hell is digital democracy? The two words in question are familiar to all, but it's also somewhat of a catch all term to describe organisations, digital tools and grass-roots movements that make use of the internet in some way to improve and influence our democracy by challenging, scrutinising or participating in democratic processes. I work in the latter field, helping governments harness the internet to connect citizens to decision making.
"Digital democracy, in my understanding of the term, is about shaping decisions that affect our lives on an ongoing basis rather than merely expressing a preference every so often for a candidate you might not particularly like"
Digital democracy has been around for as long as the internet with pioneers like Delib, the company I work for, and others having been created at the dawn of this century. Bristol has been one of the key centres for this movement, not just in the South West, or even the country as a whole. Bristol leads the world, providing a test bed for initiatives that have been applied to governments in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; in fact pretty much anywhere that understands the power of the internet to strengthen their democracies. I appreciate this all sounds a little esoteric, perhaps not terribly tangible, so I thought it might be interesting to mention a few digital democracy initiatives that have taken place in Bristol. Unfortunately space doesn't allow for a full history, but I hope these prove illustrative.
It all started with satire in 2001. Three Bristol university students decided to setup a website, Spinon, as a response to the inevitable landslide victory of Tony Blair in his second general election. In the great tradition of Monty Python, Private Eye et al, they realised that if you can't beat them, satirise them. The site featured games, videos and editorial content, including the borderline genius game – Get to the right of Jack Straw, a game that was impossible to win. The site was one of the first examples of something political going viral online and it led to the creation of Delib, as the founders realised the potential of the internet when applied to government decision making.
Over the next 10 years, Delib experimented with democracy games for schools, bespoke consultation websites, argument mapping, budget prioritisation games and somehow ended up working with Barack Obama on national crowdsourcing sites. These initiatives were largely bespoke and it soon became obvious that the real win for the field of digital democracy, and therefore citizens, was to standardise participation technology and processes, so that greater change could happen, more cheaply, more often and at scale. The platforms developed focussed on three key methodologies – crowdsourcing policy ideas, prioritisation of resources and good old fashioned surveys.
In Bristol, the crowdsourcing platform idea was first trialled with an initiative that was aptly named It's my Bristol. The council decided to trial participatory budgeting (PB), whereby citizens are given direct control over how a pot of money is spent. This approach isn't new, PB has been around since the 1980's, but in the UK it was one of the first attempts to use online crowdsourcing to decide how budgets were to be divvied up. In this case there was £15,000 at play for the citizens of three wards to spend – Clifton, Clifton East and Cabot. Ideas were submitted on a range of subjects with one of the winning ideas being to close the streets to play. Interestingly this idea has subsequently become a national initiative, all from the idea of one Bristol citizen and facilitated by the tools of digital democracy. It also proved to be a soft launch for larger scale work, including HM Treasury's Spending Challenge, which crowdsourced budget reduction ideas that eventually saved the government £500m in the 2011 spending review. The Bristol trial proved just as effective when applied nationally.
Bristol again embraced digital democracy with the creation of George's Ideas Lab in 2014, George Ferguson's attempt to turn Bristol into a test bed for citizen led ideas to improve our city. It generated a lot of engagement and buzz around Bristol but it also demonstrated the problem with digital democracy – George quietly dropped the initiative at the point when the winning ideas should have been announced.
The initial success and ultimate failure of George's Ideas Lab neatly summarise digital democracy and its future. Citizen enthusiasm for democratic, participatory projects is real, alive and increasing in its demands for change, but we have yet to really access the power that lies at the heart of our democracies – the 'representative' politicians. It is for this reason that I set you a challenge – seek out the online consultations that the council and national government run, take part in them, demand to know how your opinion has been taken into account, do not let the politicians use your voice for their own aims, they must be held to account. I therefore ask of you only one thing – go forth; be noisy, raucous and annoying, that's how democracy began and that's how it should continue in the digital age.
You can follow @ben_fowkes on Twitter for the latest updates on digital democracy projects in Bristol and beyond.
Do more
If you want to embrace the possibilities that digital democracy offers you can submit your views on anything from transport, public health, planning and licensing through to school admissions and the further roll-out of RPZs. All such activity is listed on the council's consultation portal at:

HADRIAN-ERA Rome had a postal service in the second century that might be called "letter perfect," according to an authority.
Nothing, or almost nothing, could keep their postal carriers from completing their rounds, says Joan Brown Wettingfield, writer/historian.
Writing in THE TIMES LEDGER, Wettingfield says that the well-engineered roads that covered the empire made it an easy task for their horse-drawn mail carts to travel 100 kilometers (60 miles) a day in the 2nd Century AD.
Relay teams, which could travel 100 kms a day and more, could easily deliver messages of urgency and were able to cover 300 kms (170 miles) a day, she points out.
The emperor Augustus, who reigned from 27 BC to 14 AD, established Rome's first official postal service to communicate reliably as well as rapidly with the help of his numerous governors and military officials.
Augustus and his successors used the "cursus publicus" (expedited delivery) postal service which was a network of horseback couriers, postal coaches and relay stations. It was reserved for government officials. Private letters were usually carried by merchants and/or servants.
By the time of Hadrian, Rome had built about 47,000 miles of roads as well as many relay stations, each usually having a station master, accountants, grooms and mail carriers.
A "cursus publicus" was divided into two branches to expedite communication throughout the empire. Oxen were used to transport heavy loads. Service was often allowed to be used for personal reasons.

agdaniele - June 24, 2009, 11:38 pm,
|I was loosely referring to Pyrite... thought I'd be as far off as his spelling of briquette.
mooooooooooooo - June 24, 2009, 11:44 pm,
|I know, how come no one can read my inflection on the internet?

Todd M. - June 27, 2009, 1:50 am,
|agdaniele it was hard to hear what he said from the laughter. i figured it was either briquette or burkite(to murder, as by suffocation, to leave no or few marks of violence). with the context of his rants i felt burkite was the more logical choice.
agdaniele - June 27, 2009, 1:51 am,
|Just ribbing ya.... no insult meant. Say a line or two, thought I'd run with them.
agdaniele - June 27, 2009, 1:52 am,

The development of the Merlin Standard responded directly to concerns raised by DWP providers, especially those not operating as prime contractors, around potential unfair treatment within supply chains.
The Merlin Standard has been designed to recognise and promote sustainable excellence and positive partnership working within supply chains and provide guidance to those seeking to achieve it.http://www.merlinstandard.co.uk/

On March 13, 2013, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, long time Archbishop of Buenos Aires, now Pope Francis, was elected to succeed Pope Benedict. He is the first Latin American pope, the first Jesuit pope, and the first to take the name Francis, after St. Francis Assisi, the 13th century monk known for his charity and kindness.
Elected in one of the shortest conclaves in history, the former Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina reveals, in a series of extensive interviews conducted over the course of two years, the very image of a humble priest, inspired teacher, and wise and adroit cardinal. What emerges is a portrait of a man more interested in substance over style, a compassionate cleric and teacher who has shunned the spotlight.
In spontaneous, intimate terms, Archbishop Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, covers topics as wide-ranging as his childhood, family life, and the importance of his first job, to discovering his calling and his early days in the seminary. The former archbishop was a teacher of psychology and literature until John Paul II consecrated him as a cardinal. He befriended writers like Jorge Luis Borges and cites Homer, Cervantes, and German and Italian poets with ease and offers nuanced thoughts about teaching. Thoughtful, intelligent, and even witty, he names Babette's Feast as his favorite movie and Marc Chagall as his favorite painter.
A learned and introspective man, he does not avoid the uncomfortable subjects: the declining numbers of priests and nuns; celibacy; the sexual abuse scandals that have rocked the Church; and his opinions about and experience with the military dictatorship of his own crisis-riddled country. It also discusses the incredible role he played in the last conclave, where he is said to have been tied with Ratzinger in the second of three votes, and asked that the votes for him be transferred to Ratzinger.
Through his own words, we come to know a man whose actions and words reflect his deeply-rooted humility. The audiobook concludes with the Pope's own writings and reflections, full of wisdom and inspiration.

The following announcement comes via Susan Dana Lawrence, Managing Editor, Ministries and Faith Development, Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. ~Peter
This Winter/Spring for UU Youth:
Two New Curricula and a Leadership Training Opportunity
Two new programs for UU youth need congregations or other UU communities to field test, while a weekend training workshop for interfaith youth leaders and adults who work with them will be offered for a second time in February.
by Nicole Bowmer and Jodi Tharan
Junior high age youth are encouraged to view themselves as agents of change in the world as they develop qualities crucial to justice work. They reflect on their own lives while making connections to the lives lived by others, building self-awareness while growing as leaders. Includes a Justicemakers Guide to assist youth in tracking their activities outside of the workshop and a long-term Faith in Action to lead youth, step-by-step, in becoming allies to marginalized communities.
by Renee Ruchotzke and Hannah McConnaughay
Part of a joint venture of the UUA and the Interfaith Youth Core (founded by Eboo Patel) and funded by the Shelter Rock congregation, these sessions develop UU, high school age youth as interfaith leaders. Youth explore values of service to our community and religious pluralism through stories from our Sources and personal storytelling, and coordinate an interfaith service. The UUA will host a monthly conference call for congregations field-testing this program to support the planning of the interfaith service project.
For applications to field test Heeding the Call or A Chorus of Faiths, contact email@example.com.
If your congregation is interested in additional support in nurturing youth interfaith leadership, you do not want to miss this opportunity for training.
The Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA) Youth Interfaith Leadership Training, February 18-21, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia, will train teams of one or two high school aged youth and one adult (25+) in skills to lead their congregation and district in the interfaith youth movement.
This event empowers Unitarian Universalist (UU) youth and adults who work with youth to be interfaith leaders in their congregation and community. Participants will:
- Learn how to run interfaith service events
- Explore what Unitarian Universalism has to say about interfaith work
- Learn how to work with people of other faiths
- Meet Unitarian Universalists from around the country and build community
Registration fee, travel, lodging, and meals are provided by the UUA.
Teams should apply together. The application deadline is December 20.

Freelance Illustrator/Concept Artist Aurora, CO
Creator of StarVeil, Skull & Shark, Black Witch, Co-Creator of Steve Lichman
I am a self taught illustrator from Boston, MA, been working freelance now for 8 years or so(as of 8/27/14). Studied a lot early on from Andrew Loomis' and Bridgman's figure drawing books as well as lots of painting from life(objects on my desk basically). After I hit a wall trying to stay motivated I started the Crimson Daggers(crimsondaggers.com, check out the forum!) which was at the time a daily livestream where we would study and talk as a group.
Thanks to the support of everyone in the community and studying daily I was finally able to land freelance work and maintain a healthy living. As long as healthy living is sitting all day and never seeing the sun :).
Now I work on a lot of personal projects! You can check them out here -

Dark Souls: As It Once Was, So Shall It Be
They're not ready for this…or are they?
As someone whose gaming career began in the days of the 2600, I have borne witness to a shift in the arc of game design. Now, most everyone will agree games are ultimately about entertainment. What changed was the root of that entertainment. Games now tend towards providing a bit of escapism for the player without them having to put much effort in. Think of it as an interactive movie where the obstacle, be it a giant monster or arcane puzzle, is merely a plot device moving you on to the next scene. Those who wish for a greater challenge have the option to increase the difficulty, but rare now is the game where the difficulty simply "Is". Dark Souls, like its spiritual predecessor Demons Souls, is such a game.
Some of you already get it, others of you require a frame of reference (due to my advanced age, no doubt) to really understand what this means. The entertainment value in many games of the 8 and 16 bit eras was drawn from the challenge they posed. Battletoads, Ninja Gaiden, Zillion, TMNT, Ghouls and Ghosts, Shinobi, and R-Type come to mind.

Where to begin on why "Deadpool" should not be a PG 13, well the main reason it should be is because you will struggle to find a single fan who agrees with the idea of it. There has been talk about the potential idea of a solo Deadpool film since Ryan Reynolds played the Merc With a Mouth back in 2009 in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" however in my opinion they should drop Ryan Reynolds get a new Deadpool!
So after the leaked footage surfaced a few months ago, the whole comic world went absolutely crazy with excitement, the details we could make out through the grainy imagery was a brilliant look at how it may be done. However, Fox decided to release their HD version of said test footage resulting in a lot of us being let down, turns out that the whole thing was CG, nobody wants that Fox, NOBODY! If you haven't seen it, you're in luck (kind of);
Given this test footage it was safe to assume that we would be getting a 15/18 or R-Rated depending on your location, however, turns out we were all wrong it's looking very likely now that Fox are set to make the film a 12/PG-13. Could they be any further from being right?
Lets all be honest, is Reynolds a viable option still? I mean David S Goyer signed on to make a solo Deadpool film in February 2004 and back then Reynolds was attached to star, so for OVER a decade they have been trying to get it made and haven't even came close. Surely somebody doesn't have faith in this project or it is just not meant to happen. I say start from scratch wipe it all clear and start from scratch anyway I digress back to PG-13. I will post some panels from Deadpool comics to prove that child friendly rating is so wrong it's laughable.
Surely Wade's physical appearance is child friendly?
That's just four panels I came across doing a tiny bit of looking, my time reading a few Deadpool comics I guess around 30, there is probably countless ones in them alone that prove my point. Just because you own the rights to a character Fox, doesn't mean you should bend the idea over and go in dry. You just have to look at what use done in "X:Men Origins: Wolverine" to see how you destroyed a character, even the look in Origins was awful.
I envision this is how the majority of Deadpool fans are sitting right now awaiting your decision Fox, do the right thing, GIVE US GORE AND VULGARITY!!!

text: Product: Geotube® Dewatering Technology Application: Power & Utility Location: Tampa, Florida The Challenge: The local electric power plant needed to quickly and efficiently clean out their coal ash lagoon while dealing with limited dewatering space. The Solution: Taking advantage of available space, Geotube® dewatering units were deployed in the plant's parking lot. This allowed for the capture of coal fly ash, boiler ash, and slag. The Geotube® system processed 7,500 cubic yards of materials without any polymer treatment. The Results: The filtrate quality remained high while solids were contained. The materials dewatered between 75% to 85% dry solids.

The problems of the 21st century are of unprecedented scale. Climate change, financial instability, the housing crisis, the need for health care: all of these are political issues that could be managed with ease on a much smaller scale. But with an enormous global population, that kind of change is no longer an option. As a result, some of the large bodies we once appointed to manage macroscopic problems--such as the government--have begun to fail us. Never was this more clear than during Hurricane Katrina, when individual efforts and decentralized organizations were more efficient, swifter, and better suited to the task than, say, FEMA.But, according to the hard-charging and ambitious Jared Duval, there is good news. Accompanying the expansion of these social problems has been an explosion in information technology, and we are quickly discovering the power of collaboration. Obama's town hall meetings are just the beginning of something larger--a movement towards what he refers to as "open-source" principles. By sharing information and letting systems grow themselves, we can devise new programs that will tackle these sprawling problems. Kiva's innovative micro-lending principles are making impressive progress with huge, intractable problems like world hunger and poverty.
The Open-Source Society is more than a persuasive argument, though. It is a manifesto, a narrative both personal and reportorial, and an empowering call to arms. Duval's spirit and intelligence are infectious, and his message is important.

Bsod solved
Good Day Everyone!
I just had to create a membership on here, to help anyone who has had this &$*# issue, and fought with it to no avail....
1) Restart the laptop, and access the BIOS menu [F2]
2) Access the "Advanced" section
3) Access the "Graphics" settings, located at the bottom of "Advanced" Page
4) Disable Hybrid and then Disable the On-board GPU [disabling hybrid will unlock GPU settings]
5) Press F10 and select "Yes"
6) Watch it boot into windows, and confirm latest drivers are installed
[Update drivers using the "Clean Install" checkbox option during a custom installation]
NOTE: Only update to the latest drivers AFTER turning "Hybrid" off. I've not tested this with the onboard GPU still enabled, but I suspect the BSOD will happen on that as well. [Test yourself, report any findings to the forum please]
Qualifications: I'm a IT professional, who is part owner of a retail IT Business called "A.C.T. Solutions Inc." I'm not advertising, just want those who read this to know where I'm coming from, and help promote a trusting nature. You're free to ask me anything, I will do my best to respond. Please don't be offended if I do not respond for over a month, as I'm not commonly on these forums. I will however give the best answer I can once I'm able.
FAIR WARNING: I'm a furious type-r who can type at around 40-90WPM. I usually give lengthy answers, and I hope this will not annoy anyone. In the context of this forum, I suspect it will actually lend to the benefit of those I help.

The high quality and feasibility of residence health care was remarkably improved in the last couple of decades. House healthcare equipment also has many brand new improvements. At this point residence hospital attention could be the option for people who wish to be near themselves throughout the lasting treatment.
Prestige medical equipment is actually advanced enough for home health care to fulfill the requirements of sanitary performance which can be required by the health care sector. Prestige health gear has carefully made a reputation in neuro-scientific residence medical center care by being able to provide a variety of alternatives while maintaining excellent standards across-the-board by keeping rates affordable.
Different Homehealth Care Gear
Includes wheelchairs, air tanks, nebulizers, IV gear and easily workable and comfortable beds. The bedrooms are among a seemingly easy yet really complex and crucial product. Mobility and convenience the patient and better simplicity for caregivers could be the guideline right here. Such bedrooms are very costly, and ill and old men and women fundamentally need continual attention at home and funding facilitates this significantly.
Oxygen machines are essential to greatly help particular sick clients. Such machines transfer air directly to the individual's lungs, and frequently include masks to cover the nostrils and mouth places. Oxygen devices can be purchased in different types because no two house environments are exactly the same. They have been simple and easy extra-durable since it is comprehended that laypersons is going to do all of the control during residence health care. Home health care equipment providers must preserve adequate stocks of oxygen devices as they are very commonly used, and residence health care equipment financing will make sure that shares don't go out at inconvenient times.
Why Go After Financing?
Therefore gear is undoubtedly customized for home use, they cost a great deal of money. Making down repayments with this sort of gear is beyond the ways many who does be involved in house. This gear is obviously and more and more in high demand as quantity of customers diagnosed with illness and opting for home health increases. All providers of appropriate equipment today seek for the right funding.
Absolutely nothing could possibly be as simple as Actually Gaining this Financing!
Send off an application to a number one home healthcare equipment funding organization and watch for it to be prepared. You may also make an internet application. The financing companies understand the urgency associated with significance of residence medical gear and will do everything inside their capacity to relieve the method and speed it to be able to get the cash you want. Lower rates of interest, the speedy sanctioning of financial loans plus the capacity to pay loans right back through completely manageable monthly installments – all this ensures that nearly all your attention is concentrated in which it is needed more, on your own medical operation.

We'll start with the ugly--the carpet in our unit was stained. BUT, it was clean...I walked around in white socks and they didn't get dirty. Some of the units have brand new carpet, the rest are scheduled to be replaced within 2 years. For some people this might be a big minus, but we don't care as long as it's actually clean.
The bad--the midweek cleaning for a Fri-Fri unit came on Wed...seemed a little late, but since we weren't even sure there would be a midweek cleaning, we were prepared to go the entire week without one. We saw housekeeping around on other days, so if it makes a difference to you, perhaps it can be arranged to actually be midweek.
The GREAT--well, plenty falls in this category. First, the staff...from our first phone call to find out about a late arrival right up to check-out, we thought they were fantastic: friendly, professional, accommodating, helpful. Second, cleanliness...rarely do I stay in a place where I don't want to clean the counters, or the coffeemaker, or the balcony furniture...something before I use it. But not here, as everything was spotlessly clean!
The grounds were beautifully maintained, from the swimming pools to the plants. It is a quiet location, which we appreciated since we were busy with activities away from the resort and enjoyed being able to relax when we were on site.
I appreciated the fact that there was plenty of dishwashing detergent, 2 packs of laundry soap (enough for 2-4 loads), and 7-8 coffee filters.
The unit was very spacious, except for the kitchen, which was tight for 2 people to be in it at the same time. We were in a 1-bedroom, and there was 1 1/2 baths....luxury!
As someone else mentioned, it's close to Keahou Bay (as we had an early a.m. snorkel trip leaving from there, we timed it...it was a 6 minute leisurely walk for us). You'll pass the Sheraton on the way, where there is a Wed. Farmers' Market...the day we were there we got a great bargain on fruit (coffee, nuts, and candies were available also, in addition to quite a few arts and crafts).
We were very pleased with this stay, and would be thrilled to stay again.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
LA DOLCE VITA is an episodic film, but that is a feature of much of
Fellini. In several of his films, Fellini builds meaning in this way:
not with a single continuing plot, but with a series of smaller stories
that add up to a total collection of interconnected ideas.
Maybe the secret (if there is one) of LA DOLCE VITA's appeal is that it's so darned interesting all the time. This especially applies to the plot concerning Steiner. Steiner is the key figure in the film, apart from Marcello himself, who is Fellini's and the viewer's counterpart. What Steiner represents to Marcello is of prime importance. The young reporter sees the older man as a perfected, idealized version of himself. He longs to emulate Steiner and is convinced this man knows how to live life fully. There is irony aplenty in the entire Steiner narrative. When Marcello brings his wife to the Steiner party, they meet a few interesting, but mostly insufferable pretentious 'intellectual' types. (the famous Fellini 'careless' post-dubbing of dialogue in this scene particularly amusing: it seems to add to these characters' disconnection from a true self, as though they don't even realize what they are actually saying). Steiner himself associates with these people, yet does not truly seem to be one of them. He feels trapped by his own pretentious circle of intellectuals. When Marcello tell him how much he envies and admires him, Steiner replies:
"Don't be like me. Salvation doesn't lie within four walls. I'm too serious to be a dilettante and too much a dabbler to be a professional. Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected."
This gives Marcello much to contemplate for the rest of the film. And Steiner's subsequent suicide confirms the deep suspicion growing within the protagonist that all of existence, as he himself has known it thus far, is fundamentally absurd and meaningless. For this reason the film is existential in its outlook. Marcello is the modern, urban human, trapped in an absurd universe. But Fellini, seems not fully despairing in his outlook. Consider, for example, the significance of Marcello's interaction with the blonde girl in the cafe--she represents a simpler life away from the city and the over-complications of modern existence. Many viewers have missed the fact that it is this same girl who waves to Marcello on the beach in the film's final scene: she waves and is telling something he is never able to hear, so he waves once, and turns back to the empty, inebriated crowd as they speculate about the unknowability of nature, embodied by a monstrous, bloated fish.
LA DOLCE VITA is a great film for the way it pulls some viewers in and forces them to contemplate the actual content of what they are seeing. The main theme is one it shares with films of Antonioni: modern man has become disconnected from the natural world and he suffers because of it. LA DOLCE VITA's visual style is poetic, some of its characters are more than compelling and hard to forget, and its musical score by Nino Rota is among the most memorable of all time.
I first saw this movie probably over 25 years ago when I was quite a bit
younger. At that point I enjoyed it for its party scenes, sense of joy
life and vitality and....Marcello Mastroianni. Now that I'm older myself
and have just recently seen the movie again, I find that I have a much
deeper understanding of it. Maybe it takes some age to find some meaning.
In a nutshell, Marcello is at a crossroads in his life, he's unable to
settle down or move foreward into any direction - he's a diletante with
aspirations but no real goals. He's wrapped up in himself and in
rather dreamy ideals onto other people. But as he keeps projecting on to
others he comes to find in each situation that he doesn't really know the
person and they are a mystery and probably a disappointment to him.
certainly steiner is the biggest disappointment and disillusions him to a
degree that he is apparently lost to a life of corruption and decadence as
result. but it's not that these people are difficult to understand to
someone other than marcello - i think we can see that anita ekberg's
character really is just a big good-natured blond and not the mysterious
goddess marcello makes her out to be; his father is again - the typical
traveling salesman and perhaps not the paternal figure that marcello would
like him to be. his amour maddelena lives up to her name even as marcello
starts believing himself in love with her - he's literally seduced by
nothing more than an image he creates in his own mind. his friend steiner
seems to have it all to marcello and to be the renaissance man that he
like to be - but, of course, he is dissatisfied and disturbed and we see
what the end is. the only one whom marcello forms a somewhat realistic
connection with is his girlfriend whom he treats badly and neglects
her obvious love for him. he refuses to actually work on the one
relationship that he could actually succeed at - he would rather dream
possibilities than actualize something.
marcello cannot communicate with others because he cannot see them as the people they really are - he just sees them as projections of his own needs, aspirations, desires and goals. when he finds out what they're really like, he either turns away or falls apart. this is an outstanding movie - 10 out of 10 and beautifully photographed. if you don't get it now, try again in 10 years - it will wait for you to catch up.
To appreciate this film you need to appreciate film. I'm saddened that so
many have commented negatively on it and cast dispersions upon those who
enjoyed it. It is not Titanic, or Armageddon. It is a long film that
attempts to show more than a hackneyed plot about some simple people. It is
a beautiful exploration about life that does not preach or try to tell you
what to think. I understand why many are frustrated with it. It seems to
go nowhere at times, but thats the point. And most importantly the scenery
on this trip to nowhere is beautiful.
So, if you are the type that does not like to watch films that are art, do not watch this. Watch Coyote Ugly. It will entertain you. Other films to avoid: Last Year at Marienbad, The Seventh Seal, The 400 Blows, etc. Go see something with a gun on the cover instead.
For those who like a challenge rather than simple escapism, this is a film that engages you.
Different films for different people. People seem very threatened when they don't like a film that is widely regarded as a classic. The reason is simple, it's not your kind of film. But don't assume its a film for no one. Makes sense right?
I just saw a new print of this wonderful film after not having seen it for maybe 20 years and it is still spellbinding. Fellini sums up an era and an attitude here, and succeeds in doing something that ought to be impossible: he makes a full and meaningful film about empty and meaningless lives. Mastroianni seems to have been to Fellini what DeNiro has been to Scorsese--a perfect embodiment of a personal vision. What a wonderful actor he was--brilliant in his youth and in his age. Many other performers are hardly less fine here, and the cinematography and composition are stunning throughout. There are so many indelible images from this film, images that have become iconic over the decades: Ekberg in the Fontana di Trevi, the statue of Christ flying over Rome, the astonishing, candlelit procession at the castle, to name a few. It seems plot less and yet it isn't plot less at all; Marcello's ultimately fruitless search for meaning, a search that he abandons in the end, as he stares across a slight and yet unbridgable abyss on the beach at a lovely young girl who seems to possess the knowledge and understanding that is denied to him. I'm astonished at the number of people who don't get this movie, who seem to think that Fellini expects us to admire the bizarre characters who people the film, or who think that a movie about worthless individuals must be a worthless movie, or who don't seem to understand that movies that are full of what become clichés usually do so because they capture an important vision. Fellini made several exceptional films: 81/2, La Strada, Amarcord, and The Nights of Cabiria come to mind, but La Dolce Vita may be, when all is said and done, his masterwork.
LA DOLCE VITA presents a series of incidents in the life of Roman
tabloid reporter Marcello Rubini (Marcello Mastroianni)--and although
each incident is very different in content they create a portrait of an
intelligent but superficial man who is gradually consumed by "the sweet
life" of wealth, celebrity, and self-indulgence he reports on and which
he has come to crave.
Although the film seems to be making a negative statement about self-indulgence that leads to self-loathing, Fellini also gives the viewer plenty of room to act as interpreter, and he cleverly plays one theme against its antithesis throughout the film. (The suffocation of monogamy vs. the meaninglessness of promiscuity and sincere religious belief vs. manipulative hypocrisy are but two of the most obvious juxtapositions.) But Fellini's most remarkable effect here is his ability to keep us interested in the largely unsympathetic characters LA DOLCE VITA presents: a few are naive to the point of stupidity; most are vapid; the majority (including the leads) are unspeakably shallow--and yet they still hold our interest over the course of this three hour film.
The cast is superior, with Marcello Mastroianni's personal charm particularly powerful. As usual with Fellini, there is a lot to look at on the screen: although he hasn't dropped into the wild surrealism for which he was sometimes known, there are quite a few surrealistic flourishes and visual ironies aplenty--the latter most often supplied by the hordes of photographers that scuttle after the leading characters much like cockroaches in search of crumbs. For many years available to the home market in pan-and-scan only, the film is now in a letterbox release that makes it all the more effective. Strongly recommended.
Gary F. Taylor, aka GFT, Amazon Reviewer
Mostly because of the terrific high contrast, B&W visuals, and the
evocative music, this is the only Fellini film I have seen that I have
somewhat enjoyed. I recommend it, but not without reservations. It's a
complex film with many textured layers of meaning. And, in typical
Fellini fashion, it rambles and it meanders.
Deviating from standard three-Act structure, Fellini's story consists of roughly eight episodes, all starting at night and ending at dawn, more or less. Each has its own crisis. And the only thing that unites these episodes into a coherent whole is the story's protagonist, Marcello (Marcello Mastroianni). In his job as a journalist and overall observer of human nature, Marcello encounters people in high society who seem outwardly happy and self-fulfilled. On closer examination, however, these people are empty, hollow, alienated, emotionally adrift and vacant.
A good example is the starlet Sylvia (Anita Ekberg), a glamorous figure, but she's all image and no substance. "La dolce vita" is the first film that uses the concept of "paparazzi", which implies the importance of "image", separate from substance.
Throughout the various episodes Marcello sees these "images" of happiness, of contentment, but the images are deceptive, elusive, unreliable. In one episode, two "miracle" children "see" the Madonna. "The Madonna is over there", shouts one child. The crowd chases after her. But the other child who "sees" the Madonna runs in the opposite direction. Happiness, self-fulfillment, religious visions ... they're all a will-o'-the-wisp. And so, the film conveys a sense of pessimism and cynicism.
The film thus has deep thematic value. It caused a scandal when it was released, and was banned by the Catholic Church, apparently for appearing to be anti-religious.
Yet for all its deep meaning, "La dolce vita" can be a trial to sit through. Somewhere in the second half I began to lose interest. I don't have a problem with Fellini's deviation from standard plot structure. I do have a problem with a director who doesn't know when to quit. This film goes on for almost three hours. A good edit, to delete all the fat, would have tightened up the story and rendered it more potent. As is, it's too strung out, too stretched, too meandering.
If the viewer can persevere, there's enormous cinematic art in this film. And helped along by Nino Rota's music, the film is wonderfully evocative, at times stylishly melancholy.
This movie is about a Roman journalist at the crossroads of his life
but unable to move forward in any meaningful direction. He is a man
trapped in his life of superficiality.
Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita is a very aesthetically beautiful film. The widescreen compositions are often outstanding. The crisp black and white photography is lit to perfection and a joy to behold. One of the factors that makes Italian cinema in general so appealing for me is the gorgeous natural light of that country, allied with the stylish decor and architecture; and in this film these elements are well in abundance. If nothing else, La Dolce Vita is a treat to the eyes. Style over substance is a term that could certainly also be applied to the denizens of LDV's Rome. We are introduced to an array of beautiful but shallow character's; from Marcello Mastroianni's gossip journalist, via Anita Ekberg's international film star or Nico's fashion model, everyone is beautiful on the surface but somewhat dead underneath. And perhaps this is a problem with the film in general; a three hour expose of shallow people is an exhausting experience.
The film is not plot-driven. It's episodic, divided into seven days in the life of a Roman gossip columnist. It's not always obvious what the point of certain events actually is. I found myself spending quite a lot of energy actually trying to actively understand the meaning of Marcello's experiences, and not always successfully I concede. But suffice to say that a very general reading of the film's message would be that it is about the superficiality of celebrity and the emptiness of much of modern urban life. And while a lot of it is still very relevant today in particular the public's obsession with celebrity it's not always clear what Fellini is trying to say. It's quite an obtuse film, with a fair amount of symbolic imagery and loaded dialogue. It's certainly serious cinema. Although I often found myself enjoying it most when it was less intellectual and more sensual, such as the wonderful iconic scene where Anita Ekberg takes a dip in the Fontana di Trevi. This justifiably famous sequence is the most purely cinematic moment in La Dolce Vita and, in my opinion, the film could have benefited from more scenes of such striking power punctuated through its three hour running time.
Overall, although I do admire this film, I find it too tiring and drawn out to love. It's very well acted and photographed, it's just a little unengaging and occasionally tedious. That said, it's one to seek out if you are at all interested in 60's New Wave cinema.
(first of all, sorry my poor english)
Who, in this entire world, drunk as a horse in the middle of the night,
never discovered the meaning of life, that it can be so easy and joyfull
that hurts.
This happens with a certain frequency. The big problem is, after all that,
to face all the thoughts and conclusions in a sober monday morning, when
everything is just real, concious and above all that sincere.
This is the the big question and problem of Marcello Rubini, a reporter of
gossip magazines who has to deal with the fact that he tastes the same
poison he spreads by leaving in a group of people which he sucks his
In a moment he is directing his papparazzi and, in the next, he is running away from them. He flows between all kinds of social circles and the only impression he gives is that it doesnt matter what kind of craziness you are getting into everything is a big cliché. From the mainstream world of a gorgeous actress who feels able to express opinions about everything (and we buy it), passing throught the religious world of the faith, and also an intellectual circle that gives a fake impression of freedom, everything turns out to be an escape. That blonde girl appears as a stroke of pureness and sincereness, something we should really look for, but we just dont. In the case of Marcello's life, writing is the solutions he always substitute for vain experiences. Something he likes and that he needs a young girl to tell him that. That litlle cute girl is a person Marcello would like to be, someone who faces the soberty of a monday morning with hopeness and happiness.
A masterpiece.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Long considered a major filmmaker, Federico Fellini established his
reputation through an insistence on the interest-value of his own
fantastic and idiosyncratic vision of the world
In so doing, however,
he repeatedly lays himself open to charges of egomania, self-indulgence
and superficiality; certainly much of his work, if visually
extraordinary, is hyperbolic, naïve and incoherent
This film about the hedonistic, amoral life of Rome's "beautiful people" is really a series of startling episodes held together by a character played by Marcello Mastroianni, a gossip columnist who is himself caught up in the aimless, scandalous "sweet life."
Filled, like all Fellini films, with stunning, bizarre images and faces and marked by the director's wild comic imagination, the film was widely condemned as "vulgar, witless, and intellectually bankrupt" and lavishly praised as "a cultural and social document, as well as an exciting entertainment."
"La Dolce Vita" moves from one shocking sequence to another It is a sprawling epic satire on what Fellini considered the spiritual malaise of modern society It followed a journalist employed by a scandal magazine around a Rome obsessed with orgiastic parties, voluptuous film stars and the commercial marketing of religion While its images are flamboyanta statue of Christ flying above Rome suspended from a helicopter, Anita Ekberg dancing in the Trevi fountain, a kitten on her headthe film's despairing tone often rings meaningless, even though Mastroanni's compulsive womanizer, never glamorized, fails to achieve redemption
Long, episodic film by Federico Fellini about the conceits and facades
of life: fame, intellect, sex, friendship, despair, innocence, etc.
Marcello Mastroianni is perfect as the shallow tabloid reporter who joyfully follows around Rome a blonde movie star from Sweden (Anita Ekberg) as she prowls around the city's bars and bistros. He is also having an affair with a woman (Anouk Aimee) while his girl friend (Yvonne Furnaux) seems to be going nuts.
But as Marcello moves through the city following the movie star, the miracle of the virgin, a few parties, etc. we see that his life is very empty because the things he reports on are meaningless drivel. We see that fame and fortune and the trappings of success are meaningless.
Marcello starts to realize that the movie star is a vapid airhead, the miracles are a sham, and his friend's (who seemed quite happily married) ghastly murder and suicide show the futility of life itself.
The Fellini themes are common to many of his films, but what makes La Dolce Vita so memorable are the cynical tone, the Nina Rota music, and the string of terrific visual images.
The opening scene is of a helicopter hauling a gilded plaster statue through the air across Rome. The flying saint is a bizarre image but serves to set up the movies which is all about images and events that are never what they seem to be.
Notable are the scenes of statuesque Ekberg in that terrific strapless black dress with the voluminous skirts as she swishes around dancing and eventually wading through a city fountain. The party scenes are also notable. The first because of the intolerable intellectuals who sits around and talk and talk but never do anything. The last party has the indelible image of Mastroianni "riding" a drunken blonde woman as though she were a horse. The final image of the giant dead fish is quite unsettling as it symbolizes their bloated lives.
Fellini is brilliant in filling scenes with odd people as extras, usually hideously dressed or wearing ugly glasses. The "gallery" of people who inhabit the city is one of grotesques, vapid fashion slaves, the rich, hangers on, etc.
A long film, but highly recommended and very memorable.

text: Hi, I have had my Galaxy S for a month now and I get constant drops out, at first I thought it was just black screens as it did it in a number of apps but I have managed to pin-point the problem in the last two days. My partner downloaded Fruit Ninja onto both our phones, both are paid for, his works fine however mine randomly drops back to the menu screen that I accessed the game from, very annoying when you have just beat your high score. He suggested I was hitting the back button or one of the other three buttons, I have tested this today, that results in the screen dropping back to the menu, so he is right on that, however if I do hit the button and click the Fruit Ninja shortcut again it puts me back to where I last was, scorewise, and I have to unpause it. When it self drops the game starts over again, many times I unlocked a bonus and was three games later when it would drop and I would lose high scores or unlocks from games ago. Also unlike when I hit the back (or other) buttons it is no longer in the task manager, I suspect the phone is autoclosing apps. As I said this is not the only app this has happened with, it is constant, with Fruit Ninja it is more noticable as you can't go for highscores, other apps can be picked up again after drop outs, and it happens in this game around every five minutes, as with other apps, making the game usless. Any ideas as to what many be causing this? I also forgot to mention that one in three times the sound jams and causes a static sound that dodesn't clear, even when restarting the game, the phone needs to get switched on and off.

My 2016 Words of the Year
Yep, you read it right.
In 2013 it was ABUNDANCE.
2015 was all about REVIVE.
Each year I pray for the word or words and invest them into a theme for the year. It's amazing to watch God work. The word/s always come back with full meaning at the end of year.
I am certain 2016 will be no exception.
This is the earliest I've ever received the theme, it was probably late September or early October. How I wanted to blab and dissect it all, but I knew I had to wait.
Until now.
Two words.
Fierce and Perspective
I'm tempted to flesh it out, define it, and expound. I've already seen both words in my vocabulary, and I've heard it many places. But experience tells me to wait.
God has a lot to say and show me in a year I already know has expanded vision for what I do. Things are changing in my husband's 8-5 life. We have a son graduating high school. Another son getting married. College. Middle School.
It's exciting and scary and awesome and eye opening.
I'm pretty sure it's also going to be fierce.

President Proposes Raising Car CAFE
President Bush said on Thursday that he would push for an increase in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard for passenger cars. The Bush administration recently upped the fuel economy required for trucks and added some large SUVs to the fuel standards, but had left passenger cars untouched by the changes until now. The President said that he would ask that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) set different fuel-economy levels for different sizes of cars, and would seek a boost of about 10 percent in fuel economy. The changes could take effect as soon as the 2008-2011 time frame. The current fleet average for passenger cars is 27.5 mpg.
President Wants Hybrid Cap Lifted
This week's White House initiative to lower gas prices could have a side benefit for hybrid vehicles. The Detroit News reports that President Bush wants the tax-credit cap lifted from hybrid vehicles. Currently, tax credits for the purchase of hybrids are only offered so long as no more than 60,000 hybrids per manufacturer are sold. The credits are worth up to $3400, and would initially benefit

Ford Says 2800 Take Buyouts
Ford has convinced about 2800 workers at the company and at Visteon Corp. to take buyouts planned as a part of Ford's "Way Forward" plan. The Detroit Free Press says that the buyouts, announced earlier this year, have attracted mostly workers interested in early retirement; some 1750 employees have chosen that option. The remaining 1039 employees have either chosen a lump sum of up to $100,000 or up to four years of $15,000 in school tuition.
Nissan Says Less Than Half Relocate
The final figures are in, and 42 percent of Nissan North America employees will move with the company to Tennessee this summer - or 45 percent, if clerical workers aren't included in the total, notes Brad Bradshaw, vice president and general manager of the Nissan Division, soon to be senior VP of sales and marketing for NNA. Bradshaw said that the portion making the move includes almost 60 percent of product planning and support, and the relocation reportedly won't affect the product-launch timeframe, which includes an aggressive rollout this year of the Versa hatchback, a new Altima, revised versions of the Quest minivan and Maxima sedan, and a new Sentra that. NNA has already extended about 200 job offers for positions in Tennessee, according to Bradshaw. But by some estimates, the automaker will hire an additional 500 by the time the move is complete. The automaker shouldn't have any problem filling its headcount with the brightest, though; the company has received about 26,000 applications, ranging from recent college grads to management veterans wanting to escape Detroit. Nissan will move the company beginning in the summer into the former Bellsouth building in downtown Nashville, pending completion of a new headquarters facility in suburban Franklin, Tenn. Some Nissan employees will be moving, but to the company's technical center in Michigan or in a few cases, the company's financial offices near Dallas. -Bengt Halvorson

Here's a case of the 'ex' files that refuses to close! TV star David Duchovny is apparently courting his estranged wife Téa Leoni once more, with the comely couple being spotted together twice in the last few weeks.The pair (who have a 15-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son) married in 1997, but separated in 2008 amidst scandal; with Duchovny checking into a facility to be treated for sex addiction the same year. Since then, they have attempted to rekindle their romance, but ended up splitting again in June 2011. If onlookers are to be believed, this new effort at making things work seems to be going well. Last month, they were spotted with kids Madelaine and Kyd on Fire Island in New York. "They were smiling and cuddling up with one another. They walked hand in hand and shared a kiss," say eyewitnesses, while insiders suggest that David and Téa's kids seem thrilled at the prospect of a family reunion. "They seemed like the perfect family," says an onlooker who spotted them on vacation in Fire Island. Then, last week, the two stars lounged around on a beach in Malibu, laughing together and looking relaxed and happy.
Only two years ago, when Duchovny was asked about his marital status in an interview, he insisted he was still married, assigning 'separated' status to his relationship with Leoni. So was it really his sex addiction that put a strain on their marriage? While mum in response to a direct question, David has said in the past: "Sex, to me, means I can forget myself. It's just the moment. I heard that skiing is even better than sex. It could be possible — but I'm not a skier." His marriage may be inconsistent, but his sense of humour is steadfast!
