(51)You may never eat celery again
By TheWatchman (753 reviews) from Suburbia , 01 Nov 2013Okay, I hate to start by blatantly stealing someone elses quote, but, when reading other reviews of MacGruber, someone else described it as Team America, but without the puppets. Yes, Id say thats a fair definition only Team America was very funny and clever. MacGruber has a lot to live up to. When I started watching MacGruber, I hated it. I was totally with those many 1/5 star reviews Id seen describing it. My main gripes were that it simply wasnt funny and that the main character (MacGruber, believe it or not) was completely annoying. I was practically on the brink of turning it off after about half an hour, when, to my amazement, I actually laughed. Its possible that by watching half an hour of this film lowered by IQ enough to watch and enjoy the rest of it. Okay, so the second half wasnt comedy gold, but I seemed to have a better idea as to what this film was trying to be and I laughed enough not to qualify this as a complete flop. However, its worth noting that this film bombed at the box office, so perhaps Im in a minority here. Its a (loose) satire on action films where the burned out hero is plucked from retirement for one last mission. It has been done a fair few times before Hotshots Part Deux was done nearly twenty years ago (and its probably consistently funnier), but it has enough moments (in the second half) to make it just about worth watching. And seriously dont eat the celery.- Was this review helpful to you?

Awfully Bad Spoof
By Nannette (1 review) , 16 Jun 2013I thought this was an ironic spoof type action comedy, but after about 30 minutes I turned it off, not wanting to waste any more time on it. Wish i'd read the reviews before i rented it, and I wish you could give a 0 star rating, I have to give it 0.5!- Was this review helpful to you?

Hi this -- highs new evidence that solar energy -- green as you think.
The Associated Press reports transporting hazardous waste created in the manufacturing process actually adds significantly to the carbon -- right.
Who -- there's hazardous waste right that -- a lot of agreement.
Edited Solarz -- supposed to offer.
-- -- I mean -- tell me more.
Well there's -- cat BM.
Liquid waste that occurs in the production of solar panels a lot of -- -- gallium arsenide.
That would be as in arsenic remember when President Bush was -- excoriated because he wanted to poisonous by putting.
Arsenic in our water supply gap solar panels -- a lot of toxic stuff.
So they don't produce a lot of power we forgot about that -- you -- how green they are not very anybody who invest -- -- loses money well.
Meaning that if you look at this specifically -- mean at this report I thought.
Was amazing because.
They -- they had -- day is seen as a university professor who was talking environmental studies.
Who was talking about the fact -- would take three months to generate enough electricity.
To pay off the energy costs and transport hazardous waste away from this one project.
So it's like you you making these things and -- create so much hazardous waste in just making them that you can't throw it anywhere you have to take it to a specific site.
And in doing that you're burning all this gasoline driving and driving and driving all these pounds of hazardous waste somewhere and yet -- be hold.
When somebody's calculating how fantastic these solar panels are they don't take that into account.
Yet nobody seems to remember that some of the solar panel producers go bankrupt.
Like Solyndra.
In also -- -- 500 million dollars.
They were bragging that they -- produce enough solar panels for.
Homes that's you know what overhead probably about a hundred dollars a home out of the taxpayers.
Ten who's gonna cart away the jobs when the companies bankrupt.
No I mean that's that's one of the things that I think most people haven't heard about the -- they know the name they know that it took a lot of taxpayer dollars -- -- what they don't know is that it produces about twelve point five billion pounds.
-- hazardous waste.
While it was spending in losing all of our money well yeah.
-- and then there's the larger picture of just losing money in general you know if you really wanted to lose money.
Like say 95%.
Of your investment -- should've invested in a basket of solar energy stocks a few years ago.
There's a solar energy fund Guggenheim solar trust.
It's at thirty dollars a share that sounds good except they just had a one for ten share split because it was -- -- You -- get it.
Eight I wonder if we need to create some sort of standard were -- we're at least accounting for these things in the same way you know we talk about wind energy.
Or solar or natural gas or coal or -- clear.
Where you're forced to calculate the total carbon footprint you -- way it -- Lotta people say this about wind turbines as well.
You know when you're making -- wind turbine do you taken to -- how much energy -- -- To create that giant turbines and how much can -- -- to move it to trying to get to work its lifespan I mean do we need to may be establish some sort of standard.
What we're taking these sort of things into account what -- quantifying.
How much carbon emissions are being saved by them.
Melissa you know how to stop all this pollution.
Stop subsidizing.
The president's there in the state of the union message talking about you know all gas -- cheaper than it was.
We ended sadder if you took the federal money away.
There'd be no pollution from these things because they wouldn't exist there they go bankrupt and you know -- -- we use natural gas which produces half.
The carbon dioxide Nicole does when it produces electricity.
And -- and we would explore -- we would exploit it.
And we wouldn't have the pollution.
Well it into anything peoples have all the facts when they're making a decision about what it exactly as the most effect -- energy -- Weber what Kermit the Frog said.
-- ain't easy being green.
That might -- indicator it into your biggest ever for coming on and have a great weekend by -- -- let's.

Left Brain Right Brain
The left side of your brain is your knowledge, the storage of your experiences so far. This is learned, and can be passed on to others, as some of it was passed on to you. The right side of your brain is your wisdom. This is where the analysis and correlation of the experiences and knowledge gained in the left brain occur. Your right brain you are born with, it has whatever ability it has to perform this analysis. The left brain is the repository of knowledge you gain. The right brain is where that knowledge is used and applied.
The left brain is where the musician adds the knowledge of music theory, knowledge of the mechanics of an instrument. The right brain takes that knowledge and turns it into a song.
The left brain is where the facts and formulae and mathematical variables are stored (when learned). The right analyzes and correlates the data to find the answer to the math problem.
The left brain learns the meanings of letters, the rules of grammar and syntax, the right brain uses that to write a story or a poem.
The booksmart people have the strong left brain, they can absorb or add knowledge, but have the weak right brain for using that knowledge. The savants have strong right brain abilities, but weak left brain. Their wisdom (right brain) can be extensive, but their left brain ability to absorb new knowledge can be very limited, thus they are savant but in very tight, specific areas. They excel, but only at, often, one specific area, but otherwise conisdered 'autistic' in all other areas. All of the wisdom is directed in that narrow field because their left brain is inefficient at gaining new knowledge, new things for the wisdeom to be applied to.
Everyones' brain chemistry is different, some have strong right, weak left, or vice versa. Some have strong or weak in both. Everyone falls somewhere within those parameters. You are the sum of the interaction between the hemispheres.
This ad goes away when you register.
a simple test to see if your left or right brain dominant.
YouTube - Dancers Twirling Left or Right-Leave UR answer in Comment
clockwise spin = right brain dominance
counter clockwise = left brain dominance
this is based on the initial direction of spin. it will switch eventually as both hemispheres take turns trying to decipher a 2d image which seems 3d
feel free to leave a comment, what direction do you see first?

text: Home Politics Color Them Democrats: Diversity at the DNC Unlike at the RNC last week, both the audience and the speakers represent the American melting pot. By: Edward Wyckoff Williams Posted: Sept. 6 2012 3:55 PM 0 Michelle Obama; Julian Castro; Emanuel Cleaver (Getty Images) (The Root) -- Change comes in many colors. And the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., has proved to be a brilliant display of American diversity -- blurring the lines between black, brown, white and every hue in between. The delegates have gathered to re-elect the nation's first African-American president -- a historic moment -- but what is most striking is the visible difference between the Democratic alliance and their Republican rivals, who just a week ago nominated Mitt Romney in Tampa, Fla. According to Gallup, more than 90 percent of registered Republicans are white, despite the fact that white Americans are only 63 percent of the general population. This point isn't lost on either voters or elected officials, since a lack of diversity among conservatives has helped fuel a racially tinged, anti-Obama campaign and xenophobic rhetoric that alienate the growing and politically important Latino population. Republicans' atmospheric problem is that for the past four years, many in the party have actively attempted to divide white voters from everyone else. The strategic attacks on President Obama had proved successful during the 2010 midterm elections with the Tea Party factions and far-right base, many of whom still harbor racial anxieties and prejudice. But even South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham -- a GOP stalwart -- was forced to admit that this divide-and-conquer strategy is not sustainable. "The demographics race we're losing badly," he told the Washington Post. "We're not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term." Graham's statement was a rare moment of honesty. Just last week at the Republican National Convention, two attendees were removed after throwing peanuts at an African-American camerawoman for CNN, yelling, "This is how we feed the animals." Republican leadership is not blameless. Even Romney has used race-baiting tactics in an effort to appeal to disgruntled white voters, the best examples being his recent foray into Birtherism and the fallacious attack ads accusing Obama of gutting welfare reform. If there was any doubt about the racial subtext, Romney told USA Today that Obama was using welfare waivers as a political calculation to "shore up his base." This, of course, is the same man who appeared before the NAACP convention and later said of the crowd, "If they want more stuff -- more free stuff -- tell them to vote for the other guy." The race-baiting is mind-numbing. But it has its consequences. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. According to a NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, Obama leads Romney 94-0 among African Americans. And an August Washington Post-Kaiser poll had the president receiving 74 percent of the Latino vote. It is nearly impossible for Romney to win with such a deficit among minorities, and that is why the Republican strategy has been to encourage a wave of impassioned, angry white voters while suppressing minority votes through new voter-ID laws.

Kaylan and Tim are documenting their journey with ALS in a series of video clips called the Often Awesome series. They are an adorable fall-in-love-able-with couple who are facing the ravenous progression of Tim's ALS. http://www.oftenawesome.org and become a fan on Facebook of the Often Awesome The Series page. On their honeymoon to Scotland Kaylan says, "It stuns you everyday." While my version of ALS isn't as quick to eat me alive as it is for Tim, I wholeheartedly concur.
I recommend you take a moment and look them up on you tube. Their poignant story is one of the most authentic pieces of video journalism I've encountered regarding the experience of ALS. Ben Byer, the producer of Indestructible, an ALS documentary would be proud. In his footsteps they follow.
I am humbled in their presence.

A Wildlife Mystery in Vietnam
The discovery of the saola alerted scientists to the strange diversity of Southeast Asia's threatened forests
- By Richard Stone
- Smithsonian magazine, August 2008, Subscribe
A landslide has blocked the cliff-hugging road into the Pu Mat National Park in northwestern Vietnam. To go farther, we must abandon our car and wade across a shallow river. My wife, Mutsumi, a photojournalist, and I roll up our jeans to the knee and look uncertainly at our two young boys. Do Tuoc, a 63-year-old forest ecologist, reads our minds. "I'll take the bigger boy," he says, hoisting our 6-year-old onto his shoulders.
Before I can come to my senses and protest, Tuoc plunges into the current, sure-footed, and reaches the opposite bank safely. I wade out with our 3-year-old clinging to my neck. I stumble like a newborn giraffe on the slippery rocks of the riverbed. My jeans are soaked. My son, asphyxiating me, crows with joy. Both boys want to do it again.
I shouldn't have been surprised by Tuoc's nimbleness: he knows this primeval wilderness better, perhaps, than any other scientist. It was near here in 1992 that Tuoc discovered the first large mammal new to science in more than half a century, a curious cousin of cattle called the saola. The sensational debut showed that our planet can still keep a fairly big secret, and it offered a reprieve from the barrage of bad news about the state of the environment.
If only humans had reciprocated and offered the saola a reprieve. A decade after coming to light, the unusual ungulate is skidding toward extinction. Its habitat in Vietnam and Laos is disappearing as human settlements eat into the forest, and it is inadvertently being killed by hunters. Saola appear to be particularly vulnerable to wire snares, introduced in the mid-1990s to snag Asiatic black bears and Malayan sun bears, whose gallbladders are used in traditional Chinese medicine. For the saola, "the situation is desperate," says Barney Long, a World Wildlife Fund conservation biologist, who is working with local scientists to protect forests in central Vietnam inhabited by saola. The Vietnamese government created Pu Mat and nearby Vu Quang national parks in response to the saola discovery, and this past fall designated two more nature reserves in the saola's dwindling range and banned all hunting in critical saola habitat. Neighboring Laos, the only other country in which the saola has been spotted, has pledged similar action. But no one knows whether these eleventh-hour efforts will succeed.
That's because the saola is so rare that not even Tuoc has spied one in the wild. Estimates of their numbers are based on interviews with villagers who have glimpsed the animal, and on trophies. Tuoc, who works for the Forest Inventory and Planning Institute in Hanoi, first beheld a partial saola skull mounted in a hunter's home in Vu Quang. He knew he was seeing something extraordinary. DNA tests confirmed that the saola was a previously unknown species, the first large mammal discovered since the kouprey, a Southeast Asian forest ox identified in 1937. The saola's horns, one to two feet in length and slightly diverging, inspired its name, which means "spinning wheel posts."
Tuoc calls himself "very lucky" to have discovered the saola—and to be alive. Forty years ago, his older brother volunteered in the Vietnam People's Navy, which ran supplies to forces in the south on a sea version of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. His brother's service exempted Tuoc from the military and allowed him to focus on science. With his keen powers of observation, he has discovered two other species in addition to the saola.
The best guess is that a couple of hundred saolas are left in Vietnam, Long says. "Very little is known about the saola. We don't know exactly where it occurs, or how many there are. There's a big question mark surrounding it," says Laos-based William Robichaud, who is leading a working group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature that met in June to draft a strategy for protecting saola. "The last incontrovertible evidence we have—a photograph from a camera trap—was in 1999," says Robichaud.
Since February, Robichaud and his staff have placed about 20 camera traps in Laos' Nakai-Nam Theun National Protected Area—historical saola habitat, according to hunters' sightings. But neither the cameras nor interviews with locals have yielded evidence of saola activity. "Villagers seem unsure if it's still hanging on or not," he says.

this is a very interesting article

I know I'm commenting over a year after this article was written but I haven't read it before. First, I have to comment on the people talking about who originally discovered the saola. Although I do think it is very important to give credit where credit is due, everyone seems to be focusing on the not so important part of the article. I feel the main point of the article is to let people know why it is imperative to save the rainforests of Southeast Asia. If this animal remained undiscovered for all these years, what other plant and animal species could be hiding in these forests? How many have gone and will go extinct before we ever learn of them? The deforestation of this area is a huge crisis and this article helps people understand why it's so important that we save it.

Well you may not have found this mammal till 1969 and 1970.
Posted by Dale Gilliam on October 4,2008 | 07:54 PM
Dale, well put. And the hubris often comes from the foreigner "white" person wanting to claim credit for discovery, when it should be for documentation. These natives appear not to care about documentation in the same way other cultures do, neither is wrong or right. However, it is wrong to claim credit for discovery just b/c you were the first to document something. Indeed, if John MacKinnon was the first to document this species with a scientific name, perhaps he should have found out who the first villager was that knew of the saola, and give that person credit. This, being an almost impossible task, leads us back to the question of who gets credit. In this light, perhaps the onus of this dilemma is on the choice of words used by the reporter of such news. "First to document", may have been a better choice of words in this case. Also mentioning that the villagers, whom have lived with this species for quite some time, are the true "discoverers". This would be an appropriately humble addition for those who are not reading between the lines.
Posted by MG on August 26,2008 | 04:05 PM
There is a one-hundred percent probability the saola was not discovered by those merited in this article. Ten's if not hundred's of thousands of local inhabitants have seen, observed, hunted and known of the saola for just as many years. How does one discover a species that is already known? It's called scientific hubris.
Posted by Dale Remund on August 22,2008 | 04:14 PM
I believe the discovery of the saola is generally credited with John MacKinnon of the WWF, who gave it its scientific name. Touring the area near the border with Laos soon after Vietnam began opening to the West, it was he who spotted a pair of antlers in a villager's home and recognized them as being unknown to science.
Posted by Jeff Wise on August 21,2008 | 05:25 PM
Sherri, The most comprehensive observations of captive saola have been published by William Robichaud (Physical and behavioral description of a captive saola, Pseudoryx nghetinhensis; Journal-of-Mammalogy 1998; 79(2): 394-405). Other published reports rather focused on chromosomal studies in the saola. I am not sure that infectious disease were tested on the captive animal. In any case, it would be really difficult to draw conclusions from a so small number of samples. Thank you for your interest. Pierre Comizzoli
Posted by Pierre Comizzoli on August 13,2008 | 09:41 AM
Hello, My name is Sherri Rosenthal and I had a few questions on the article about the Saola. First I was wanting to know if when the Saola were brought back to where they were being kept in captivity were they able to test for infections? Also what kind of testing were they able to do on the deceased Saola? Could they keep any long enough in captivity to test on a live specimen? Like what kind of diseases or infections is it prone to and if the transportation was too strenuous for it physically as well as mentally? Also is their more scientific data being contemplated as well as being carried out? I just want to let you know I thoroughly enjoyed your article and I look to hearing more about this most intriguing animal and it's life. Please also let me know if you or anyone related to this article can answer any of my questions. Thank You so much for reading this. Sincerely, Sherri Rosenthal

For some, the worst part about their daily commute is waiting for long lights.
For FOX 31's Facebook story of the day people wanted to know how traffic light times are determined.
Albany lights are synchronized based on the amount of traffic flowing in each direction.
For instance, in one day there are 33,000 cars travelling down Slappey Blvd. versus the 8,000 on Broad Ave.
The Albany Traffic Control Center monitors lights to give more time to the side of street that has a greater traffic volume.
"They actually count the number of cars moving through an intersection, the number of cars that make left or right turns and then they figure traffic cycle lengths to move those cars through the intersections," says Ken Breedlove, Signal Engineer for the City of Albany.
Albany lights are currently synchronized from information gained during the 2008 traffic study.

Won some in a Facebook Promo on a monday it was in my hands on Friday.
What can I say.... its FREAKIN DELICIOUS! Very refreshing flavor.
Mixability takes some effort but well worth it.
Best success on mixing is a shaker... I use 20-24oz of water and 2 scoops... shake the hell out of it... put it down for 5 minutes then shake the hell out of it again and that does the trick!
I cant comment on effectiveness... yet but so far I am very happy with it.
Thanks for the great BCAA's in RECOVERPRO.

Regional Issues
"In an era when our destiny is shared, power is no longer a zero-sum game. No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed. No balance of power among nations will hold. The traditional divisions between nations of the South and the North make no sense in an interconnected world; nor do alignments of nations rooted in the cleavages of a long-gone Cold War."
The Americas
"But even more than interests, we're bound by shared values. In each other's journey we see reflections of our own. Colonists who broke free from empires. Pioneers who opened new frontiers. Citizens who have struggled to expand our nations' promise to all people -- men and women, white, black and brown. We're people of faith who must remember that all of us -- especially the most fortunate among us -- must do our part, especially for the least among us. We're citizens who know that ensuring that democracies deliver for our people must be the work of all. This is our common history. This is our common heritage. We are all Americans."

"Two years ago in Cairo, I began to broaden our engagement based upon mutual interests and mutual respect. I believed then -– and I believe now -– that we have a stake not just in the stability of nations, but in the self-determination of individuals. The status quo is not sustainable. Societies held together by fear and repression may offer the illusion of stability for a time, but they are built upon fault lines that will eventually tear asunder. So we face a historic opportunity. We have the chance to show that America values the dignity of the street vendor in Tunisia more than the raw power of the dictator. There must be no doubt that the United States of America welcomes change that advances self-determination and opportunity. Yes, there will be perils that accompany this moment of promise. But after decades of accepting the world as it is in the region, we have a chance to pursue the world as it should be."

Do you know how green Broward cities are? Want to know? So did we! So, in the spring of 2011, Broward County's Energy and Sustainability Program reached out to our 31 municipalities to gather information on the scope and diversity of energy efficiency initiatives and sustainability programs implemented throughout our community. Questions covered many topics, including: Greenhouse Gas Mitigation, Energy Conservation and Production, Transportation and the Built Environment, Water Use and Conservation, Waste Reduction and Recycling, and Climate Change Adaptation Planning.
We found that, collectively, local governments in Broward County have taken significant strides in implementing energy conservation measures and sustainability initiatives.
Look how green our community is! Sustainability in Broward County Florida: Local Government in Action summarizes the outcomes of the survey. The report illuminates general trends in program direction, priorities, and funding, but more importantly, highlight success stories, identify best management practices, and propose opportunities for future community-wide collaboration and program advancement. The results are more than informative - they are inspiring!

Better yet, find inspiration from the enormous variety of green, climate, and sustainability initiatives being undertaken by local governments in Broward County. For more detailed project information, please contact the municipality's survey liaison directly, using the Survey Participant Contact List.
Share the success!This 1-page factsheet on the survey results is a quick and effective tool for educating others on the collective efforts and achievements of Broward's local governments on issues of sustainability. Be proud of the significant progress we are making, and let others know too!
Through the 2011 Municipal Green Initiatives Survey, the Sustainability Stewards Workshops, and the GoGreen Clearinghouse, Broward County's Energy and Sustainability Program is:
Thank you to all our participants and partners in the cities and community who are helping us make Broward County a more energy efficient and sustainable place to live, every day!

Paducahan Danny Myatt holds Western Baptist close to his heart. Literally.
Plagued by frequent irregular heart beats and chest pain, Myatt, 61, recently was hospitalized at Western Baptist. When his heart had to be shocked after sudden cardiac arrest caused him to lose consciousness, cardiologist Ralph Millsaps, M.D., recommended lifesaving new technology.
Myatt was fitted for a LifeVest, the world's first wearable defibrillator that detects arrhythmia and administers lifesaving shocks to restore the heart's normal rhythm. The compact device, worn in a holster, uses electrodes held in place by an elastic belt.
The LifeVest constantly monitors heart rhythm. If it detects a dangerously fast rhythm, the device warns the person to respond. If he or she cannot respond, it asks those around the person not to touch him or her and to call for help. The device then gives a treatment shock to restore the heart to a normal rhythm.
Dr. Millsaps said people at risk for sudden cardiac arrest are ideal candidates for the LifeVest.
"Wearing the LifeVest ensures immediate treatment for cardiac arrest no matter where a patient may be," said Dr. Millsaps. "It's like having a physician or emergency medical professional with someone at all times."
Myatt said the new device gives him incredible peace of mind. "It's reassuring not only to me, but also to my family," Myatt said. "After experiencing sudden cardiac arrest in the hospital, I realized that if I had been at home when that happened, I may not be here today. Wearing the LifeVest, I feel much more secure."
Like most people fitted for the LifeVest, Myatt will wear the device for three to six months before receiving a permanent implantable pacemaker that will function in the same manner.

Thread: To boyish?
August 4th, 2013 08:27 PM #11
Yes, very boyish. I, and I think the vast majority of the world, would assume that she is a he. I secondx1000 the suggestion of Rhian. Its a little different that Ryan (rye-uhn vs. a very quick rhee-an), but it is definitely feminine.. Will still honor Ryan.. And is just a current major crush for me right now so I'd love to see it used. Sutton is NMS, and although naming someone but calling them by their middle is not always ideal in today's times, I would much rather see a girl named Rhian Sutton than Sutton Rhian.
I think it sounds lovely.
Good luckLast edited by cheele; August 4th, 2013 at 08:31 PM.

Ryan is waaay too boyish for me, but I think Sutton sounds super cute on a girl! Sutton Ryan is okay, but I don't like that they share the same ending. I don't like the suggestions of Rhian or Rhiannon for the same reason. Maybe Sutton Ryleigh/Rylie?

Ties: once upon a time, no man would be caught dead without one. These days, because they are no longer obligatory, men's ties have evolved into more of a fashion item, saying a lot about the wearer. Ties have evolved into a unique form of self-expression, sparking an explosion of different styles, from denim to knitted, to leather and skinny ties. Ironically, though the tie is making less of an appearance in business, tie sales in the US have actually gone up. So, it's official: the tie is now cool. Ties are no longer necessarily about formal dressing; a skinny tie will add a dapper twist to a shirt and jeans. Why not join us in embracing the tie trend anew? We invite you to explore our tie collection, from unusual takes on traditional silk ties to hand-embroidered print ties in striking colors.

Any news on the park in New York City or Brooklyn, or somewhere like that, that the Stones were petitioning to conduct an event in this year?
They're going regional with this? What a drag.
I hope they will not end up beeing nothing but a nostalgia band! ?
That's what I thought back in the 80's...

and you thought 2010 was gonna be a rip off free year -ha -think again my friend !!!
You nailed it, Doxa! I totally agree.Quote
Thanks, Beaver!
From the base what can be heard, my first impression (which will probably will be much sharpened if not even changed) is: we can say (that despite:
(a) one can understand why the skeches (new songs) didn't make the album
(b) Jagger's delivery - especially in "Following the River" is so manoveric and annoying in its late-90's-00's tone - that it will take some used to it and accept it in this setting.
(c) the best ideas of all of them are in those three actual EXILE songs, but what makes them interesting - but surely not better - is their 'alternativity' - to catch the songs in the middle of the process of creativity. (This especially shows the genious of these guys in their peek as far as rock music is concerned.)
(d) The mixing (Don Was) is way too unchaotic and clear to match the feeling of EXILE.)
that this is the best Stones album since TATTOO YOU.

To anyone who's been laid off in the last decade or so:
I have a simple message comprised of five words that I hope may be of a little solace: Say goodbye to the guilt. It will never help you, and dollars to doughnuts you didn't deserve it in the first place.
Being laid off is hard enough in terms of the economic and emotional consequences without the added weight of secretly feeling: I deserved this. I wasn't really a good performer and after all these years they finally caught up with me.
To this I say: Forget about that line of thinking. In the vast majority of cases it's simply not true.
There's a convenient fiction out there that most layoffs are somehow fully rationally engineered, an organization's excellent opportunity to effectively "thin the herd" and let go of its weakest performers.
Well, sure, there's some of that now and then. But if anyone thinks our era's mega-layoffs – with tens of thousands of people regularly being shown the door – are an orderly rational Sunday walk in the park, that's, as we used to say when I was growing up in Boston, wicked far from the truth.
Here's who an organization loses in a massive layoff: It loses some of its worst performers, it loses some of its best performers, plus a whole lot of solid people who know their business in between.
To inject a little scale, here are a few of the sobering staff reduction numbers since the Great Implosion of 2008. Citigroup Citigroup – 50,000 (2008); GM – 47,000 (2009); Bank of America Bank of America/Merrill Lynch – 30,000 (2011); US Postal Service – 30,000 (2010). With more to come from HP, B of A, and doubtless other 'players to be named later.' Hey, I get it. I'm no Pollyanna. An organization has to be cost-competitive. If it's not, ultimately everyone loses. Game over, wealth destroyed, we all go home. But on the other hand neither is slicing – where many of our best management minds are relentlessly trained these days – a viable, forward-thinking, long-term growth strategy. Never was or will be.
As one who's at times been in the middle of these operations as a former corporate executive, who's worked directly with the smart lads and lasses at McKinsey and BCG and other 'rightsizing' specialists, who's seen colleagues, family and friends' lives turned upside down (and yes literally lost) in businesses from airlines to education to law to insurance to banking to benefits consulting to you name it, I can safely say, in the midst of Major Layoff Mode, it's never a purely rational play. It's a jungle out there. It's the random chaos of the universe. It's grinding historic economic forces at work. Decisions often become political or personal. It can be a chance to even old scores. Most of all, at the end of the day it's every dog for himself.
So if you've been caught up in this vortex, do your best not to take it personally.
A great contribution that identifies the reality of the real world. Having gone through a "re-structuring" about a year ago, this was my reality for longer than I wanted it be, and truth be told, is still a small part of my brain traffic.
Objectively speaking, I spent 10 years at a company, constantly referred to as a high potential, or high performer. As a senior manager/exec, I out performed my peers on many fronts etc. In reality – I outperformed some peers that had better political connections than I did. So, at decision time, I was the one holding the short stick.
I spent a long time wondering what I did wrong….and I kept coming back to the same answer, no matter how hard I tried to disprove it, nothing. I did nothing wrong.
It is a hard pill to swallow, as it is always easier to believe the bad stuff – but at the end of the day, you are correct, holding guilt doesn't do anyone any good and more specifically can act to prevent you from achieving an even more impressive new professional chapter.
Well written, I hope it gets well read.
I grew up being taught that if I did a good job with an employer, I'd always have a job. Once you get a job, you keep it, short of being fired for a transgression, as long as you work hard and honestly.
In reality, I've been laid off from every employer I've had in my professional career. I spent many years consulting as a result, returned to the workforce, had a salaried job again, got laid off again. I have another job now, that should be a keeper for a while, but historically, that's not the case.
And in all my layoffs, it was simply financial failures of the company. Often my position was expendable (e.g.: I didn't handle Accounts Payable or something ultra-critical). I did neat high-tech work, and when budgets get trimmed, that's the sort of stuff that's first to go.
I was very embarassed initially, but in this day an age, I'm long over that. In fact, when I was back doing interviews again, I'd make a point to ask how the company was funded, and what sort of position it was in (if a private company). It's important for me to make sure I don't sign up with a place where there's an obvious risk of being laid off, particularly in the first two years.
It's a different world now.
Thank you Victor for this article and showing concern for those good employees who have been victims of bad layoffs. I know I'm one of them.
However I don't carry any guilt over the layoffs. If anything I get upset, really upset. I've been laid off from the same company 3 times and every time I was top rated in my position at the time, if not in my local district then in the entire company. Every time I was offered a job again (often with a raise), and still am, to return to the company as their layoffs were decided by someone in an office who I never met. What sense does that make? I received severance packages and then the company spent money all over again to rehire me. Talk about a waste of money.
I definitely understand the need to be cost-competitive as you mention but why not do this by approaching the very employees who are endangered by a possible layoff and ask them "How do we save money to save on jobs?" . It doesn't even have to be phrased this way, it could be done in more positive manners. I get really upset when a company cares more about its stock price than the people who helped them build that stock up in the first place.
In another job I had, I wasn't laid off but instead my hours were cut so severly that I had no choice but to quit. Again I was a top rated in the company as field rep. I had seniority and proved myself to be the best in my district. Territories could've easily been reconfigured to keep myself and some of the other better performing reps but instead they only looked at the bigger number and bottom line.
I don't have any guilt with these situations. My guilt is with my education. I accepted promotions instead of obtaining a degree and now its harder than ever to get a job without one.
These days however I have learned my lesson. I will never take a job with a company that has a history of layoffs. I will not take a job who doesn't show loyalty to its employees. These days I look for stability more than I look for a salary. This decision doesn't just fall upon my job search but in my purchases as well. If I want to keep myself and my fellow Americans working, I'm going to take my business to a more stable and loyal company. Let the greedy ones die. The good companies will happily pick up the slack and small businesses or entrepreneurs can rightly go after the left overs.
This is true when it's several to many being eliminated, but sometimes the layoff/elimination of one person IS personal. I've seen it happen more than once and it's usually because a manager cannot separate personal from business.
Lay-offs are interesting and you are right it's not a personal thing and in fact very impersonal. I find the biggest unspoken toll of wholesale layoffs is on the company itself. The loss of intellectual capital is tremendous and often times post layoff companies waste large amounts of money reinventing the wheel to recover lost processes. When former HP CEO Carly Fiorina laid off about 20,000 people at HP I called it a lobotomy. Anyone following HP around since then has to have come to the realization that HP is still quite the zombie in its much smaller marketplace, wandering around, calling out for "brains, brains." No more entry products like high level lab equipment to get their foot in the door with their IT products and a total integration package. HP is now literally a commodity company, with little in the way of unique offerings. And the next CEO wants to lay off 20K more. If that happens, put a fork in it. HP is done unless they acquire companies with significant product personality. Companies also discover, to their dismay, that competitors have grabbed up that intellectual capital and are using it for their benefit. Or worse. I know of a laid off staff tech that is literally working on what could be termed a "former employer killer" . He has the brains, the financial backing, a lab and the technology that will kill the market for his former employer inside of a couple of years. Does not happen often but it is a cautionary tale. One ignored because all they teach MBA's is the bottom line is paramount, all the influences in the market are to the next quarter, not to the next decade. Few companies are that visionary and they are Apple, Google, Amazon, and old companies like Corning. Apple does not care really if they make the next quarter numbers, they are concerned about the existing products 2-5 years from now and how they integrate with new products to come.
It's not guilt people feel, btw, it is failure and loss. Loss and grief over the loss of something they put much of their lives into, as demanded by the company that laid them off. Guilt assumes responsibility is all there is. Most people I know and myself included who were laid off, guilt was not part of it at all.My own personal solution comes to this – get out, do stuff and if you are not earning you better be learning. That's why this year far surpasses my previous years. Never stop learning. Always save. Be sparing with your loyalty as companies are sparing with theirs but have room for generosity as well. Some companies actually value their employees beyond head count. Not many though.

A second generation metaphysician, Uriel Dana has spent her life studying the world's religions, mythologies
and archetypes. She has also been a practitioner of dream yoga techniques for over 25 years. It is this background, as well as being
highly clairvoyant, that has given her work its unique mystical patina. Uriel lived for nearly three years in W. Germany in an apartment filled with Gage Taylor's posters and cards. She actually told someone, "If I can't paint like Gage Taylor, I don't want to paint at all." By 1984, she was his full-time painting partner in California where their success flourished untill his death in December 2000. Her work and that of her collaboration with Gage, are included in many important private, public, corporate, and celebrity collections, in addition to more than 50 cards, posters, and other reproductions found in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, and Asia. She has toured with the U.S. State Department, lecturing and exhibiting her work, as part of the "Arts America" program in the Caribbean and South America. Uriel has been honored for her work as a fine artist, writer, and lecturer in the 21st edition of Who's Who of American Women, and the 13th edition of the International Who's Who of Intellectuals. She is also an award-winning published poet and member of the International Society of Poets. Becoming a semi-finalist in national poetry competitions (two years in a row), won her recognition in the book, Outstanding Poets of 1998, by the National Library of Poetry, and was honored as one of the Outstanding Poets of the 20th Century at the beginning of the new millenium. She was also honored for "Outstanding Achievement in the Fine Arts" in the 1999 publication, Outstanding People of the 20th Century, (incorporating the "Outstanding Achievement Awards"), by the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge, England, as well as a nominee as "International Woman of the Year 1998, 1999, and 2000". After 15 years as a professional fine artist, Uriel became a nominee for inclusion in the 23rd ed. of Who's Who of American Art in 1998, and more recently, a nominee for Marquis Who's Who in the World 2000. |
