Writers in the Library: David James Poissant, Nov. 17
David James Poissant will read from his highly acclaimed short story collection, The Heaven of Animals, at UT's Writers in the Library on Monday, November 17, at 7 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. The reading is free and open to the public. Prior to the reading, at 3 p.m., he will be available for a Q&A session for UT students and faculty in the Practice Presentation Room, 220 E in Hodges Library Commons North.
The Heaven of Animals was named one of the most anticipated books of 2014 by The Millions. In a starred review, Kirkus describes Poissant's stories as "Rueful and kind, akin to both Anton Chekhov and Raymond Carver in humane spirit and technical mastery." Rebecca Lee of The New York Times Book Review touts the collection as "A wise debut . . . Beautiful, with a rogue touch," and Karen Russell says of his writing, "Like Flannery O'Connor, Poissant's stories are marked by violence, humor, and grace; like Saunders, he can spoon-bend reality; like Carver and Diaz, he writes scenes soaked in kerosene and seconds from combustion."
David James Poissant's stories and essays have appeared in The Atlantic, The Chicago Tribune, Glimmer Train, The New York Times, One Story, Playboy, Ploughshares, The Southern Review, and in the New Stories from the South and Best New American Voices anthologies. His writing has been awarded the Matt Clark Prize, the George Garrett Fiction Award, the RopeWalk Fiction Chapbook Prize, and the Alice White Reeves Memorial Award from the National Society of Arts & Letters, as well as awards from The Chicago Tribune and The Atlantic and Playboy magazines.
David James Poissant teaches in the MFA program at the University of Central Florida and lives in Orlando with his wife and daughters.
Read an excellent review of The Heaven of Animals at Chapter 16: a community of Tennessee writers, readers and passersby (brought to you by Humanities Tennessee).
Writers in the Library is sponsored by the UT Libraries and the UT Creative Writing Program in association with the John C. Hodges Better English Fund.

Brown Bag, Oct. 29: Digitizing Tennessee's historic newspapers
Historical newspaper records once available only through long hours of research can now be accessed within seconds. Learn about a program that is digitizing Tennessee's historic newspapers and making them available online.
The public is invited to a Brown Bag Lunch on Wednesday, October 29, at noon in the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay Street. The speaker will be Louisa Trott, project coordinator for the Tennessee Newspaper Digitization Project, a joint project of the University of Tennessee Libraries and the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Trott will talk about the scope of the project, its value to researchers, how it can be accessed, and will give examples of the many types of information to be found in newspapers from the period.
For the past three years, the UT Libraries has been scanning historic Tennessee newspapers as part of a nationwide project, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities, that aims to preserve this "first draft of history." The first phase of the project concentrated on the Civil War and Reconstruction era, the second on the period of 1870-1900. The digitized newspapers are available to the public at the Library of Congress' Chronicling America website and are fully searchable.
The program is sponsored by 21st Mortgage. Guests are invited to bring a "Brown Bag" lunch and enjoy the lecture. Soft drinks will be available. For more information call the East Tennessee History Center at 865-215-8824.
Public Invited to Hear Anthropologist Bill Bass, Oct. 30
Over his fifty-year career as an anthropologist, University of Tennessee Professor Emeritus William M. Bass excavated ancient skeletons and recovered the remains of murder victims. He also headed UT's anthropology department for more than 20 years and trained many of the nation's current leading forensic anthropologists.
The University of Tennessee Libraries, which holds the research and teaching materials documenting his illustrious career, will honor Bass and celebrate the Dr. William M. Bass III Collection at an upcoming event. The public is invited to a lecture by Bass and a reception in his honor on Thursday, October 30, at UT's John C. Hodges Library.
A reception in the Jack E. Reese Galleria begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by the lecture in the Lindsay Young Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. Guests also may visit Special Collections to view items from the Dr. William M. Bass III Collection.
Bass is perhaps best known to the general public as the creator of the "Body Farm" — officially the Anthropology Research Center. The Body Farm was the world's first laboratory for researching the processes and timetable of decomposition of human remains.
Bass has recounted the story of the Body Farm to many audiences. His talk at the UT library will be something different. He will focus on his more traditional pursuits in the field of anthropology, including excavating human skeletal remains in the Great Plains in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution. His field study notebooks from these excavations are among the materials Bass donated to the UT Libraries to create the Dr. William M. Bass III Collection.
Keith Flynn and Joyce Jenkins at "Writers in the Library," Oct. 27
Poets Keith Flynn and Joyce Jenkins will read from their works at the University of Tennessee's Writers in the Library on Monday, October 27, at 7 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. The reading is free and open to the public.
Keith Flynn is the founder and editor of The Asheville Poetry Review, as well as the author of seven books, including five collections of poetry, most recently Colony Collapse Disorder (Wings Press, 2013). His essays on poetry are collected in The Rhythm Method, Razzmatazz and Memory: How To Make Your Poetry Swing (Writer's Digest Books, 2007). From 1984 to 1999, he was lyricist and lead singer for The Crystal Zoo; currently he tours with a combo, The Holy Men. He has been awarded the Sandburg Prize for poetry, the ASCAP Emerging Songwriter Prize, the Paumanok Poetry Award, and the 2013 NC Literary Fellowship, and was twice named the Gilbert-Chappell Distinguished Poet for North Carolina.
Joyce Jenkins is editor and Executive Director of Poetry Flash, California's iconic online Literary Review and Calendar for the West (poetryflash.org), founded in 1972. Joyce began working with the magazine in 1978. Poetry Flash presents the Watershed Environmental Poetry Festival, Northern California Book Awards, and Poetry Flash Reading Series. She is the author of Portal, a chapbook with an introduction by Carolyn Kizer, and Joy Road, and has read her poetry in the Bay Area and across the country. She received the AAUW Ruth Murray Jones Publishing Award in 1991, American Book Award in 1994, National Poetry Association's 1995 Award for Distinguished Service, and the 2006 PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Literary Award for Lifetime Achievement. On behalf of Poetry Flash, she received Litquake's 2012 Barbary Coast Award. June 6, 2009 was named "Joyce Jenkins Day" by the City of Berkeley in honor of the Berkeley Poetry Festival lifetime achievement award.
At noon, the same day, Katherine Ann Davis, editor of UT's Grist: The Journal for Writers, will join Flynn and Jenkins for an Editors' Roundtable at 1210-1211 McClung Tower. They will discuss what editors are looking for when they read submissions — a great networking opportunity for writers who are trying to get published. Refreshments will be served.
Writers in the Library hosts readings by noted authors of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. The series is sponsored by the UT Libraries and the UT Creative Writing Program in association with the John C. Hodges Better English Fund.

Celebrate the Day of the Dead, Oct. 31
Stop by the Hodges Library (1st floor galleria) and vote for your favorite traditional ofrenda (altars honoring the deceased) created by students from the Second-Year Spanish Program. The Alter Exhibit and Competition will be on view from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A festival of films, music videos, and documentaries related to the Day of the Dead will run throughout the day in the Hodges Library auditorium.
Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) is a Mexican holiday observed throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico where the day is a bank holiday. The celebration takes place on October 31, November 1 and November 2, in connection with the triduum of Allhallowtide: All Hallows' Eve, Hallowmas, and All Souls' Day. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars called ofrendas, honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts.

National Day on Writing, Oct. 20
Join the UT Libraries and The Writing Center to celebrate the National Day on Writing, Monday, October 20, noon to 2:00 in the Hodges Library Commons.
Add your comments to the Graffiti Walk and pick up copies of student publications such as Pursuit: The Journal of Undergraduate Research.
The National Day on Writing draws attention to the remarkable variety of writing we engage in. People in every walk of life, in every kind of work, and at every age write more than ever before for personal, professional, and civic purposes. Furthermore, new technologies expand the possibilities for composing in multiple media and for speaking to wider audiences than ever before and at a faster pace than ever before in our history.
Celebrate with us and demonstrate your facility with the quip, the pun, or the bon mot at our Graffiti Walk.
Celebrate Open Access Week, Oct. 20-26
Open-access literature is digital, online, and free of charge.
University students and faculty can have a role in making research and scholarship freely accessible to all.
Choosing to publish in open-access journals can help. Tax dollars and college tuition pay for much of the research reported in academic journals. But the soaring costs of commercially published academic journals can bar faculty and student access to research and scholarship.
Learn about open-access journals, open textbooks, open data, and open-access digital repositories.
Join Open Access Week events in Hodges Library:
Kickoff Watch Party: "Generation Open"
Mon., Oct. 20, 3:00-4:00 pm, 220E Practice Presentation Rm.
- A live, streamed event will discuss the importance of students and early career researchers in the transition to open access, and will explore how changes in scholarly publishing affect scholars and researchers at different stages of their careers. Sponsored by SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) and the World Bank.
Talk: Tim Errington, project manager for the Center for Open Science
Thurs., Oct. 23, 1:30-3:00 pm, 213 Hodges Library
Tim Errington will discuss challenges to increasing open science practices and tell us how the SHARE notification system aims to make research assets more discoverable and more accessible.

"Student Art in the Library" to announce winners, Oct. 13
Winners of the Student Art in the Library exhibition will be announced Monday, October 13. The campus is invited to drop by the exhibit space in the Miles Reading Room, 135 Hodges Library, at 4 p.m., for the announcement and a reception.
The Student Art in the Library juried exhibition is held twice per year and is open to all currently enrolled students, in all disciplines. Selected artworks are on display in the Miles Reading Room throughout the semester. The contest awards a First Prize of $300, Second Prize of $150, and Third Prize of $75.
National Book Award nominee Elizabeth McCracken to read October 22
Elizabeth McCracken will read from her latest short story collection, Thunderstruck & Other Stories, at the University of Tennessee's Writers in the Library on Wednesday, October 22, at 7 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. The reading is free and open to the public.
McCracken is the author of five books, most recently Thunderstruck, currently on the long list for the 2014 National Book Award in fiction. Her other books include National Book Award finalist The Giant's House and New York Times Book Review Notable Books An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination and Niagara Falls All Over Again. McCracken is currently James A. Michener Chair of Creative Writing at the University of Texas at Austin.
Thunderstruck is a collection of nine stories featuring a variety of eclectic characters, including a girl ghost, the human musical saw, and two three-legged dogs, among others. Publishers Weekly heralded the work as "mesmerizing and strange," and commented that McCracken "transforms life's dead ends into transformational visions."
In addition to the reading, the author will participate in a Q&A discussion about her work at 3 p.m. in 1210 McClung Tower on October 22. The discussion is open to all UT students and faculty.
Writers in the Library hosts readings by noted authors of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. The series is sponsored by the UT Libraries and the UT Creative Writing Program in association with the John C. Hodges Better English Fund.

By Muhammad M. from Richmond, BC on Apr 23, 2014
This nesting table set is not what it looks in picture.
Dull color, even the wood is not up to the mark.
To return is expensive, therefore i kept it against
my will. Naturally i cannot recommend to buy.

"ATP knows where it wants to go and the path seems bright, but the obstacles in the way are self made "
- Comp & Benefits

- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Aircraft Technical PublishersPros
ATP is a smallish company where everyone knows everyone. The company allows, if not encourages employee sponsored parties and get-togethers, the company even throws a few itself. The benefits are pretty good as well with medical, dental, decent 401K with a financial planner on the books to help out if you want the advice.Cons
The turnover rate of some of the upper management positions seem to be high these past couple of years. This does not bode well for morale in the troops overall.
It seems when a person does exceptional at something, even shows initiative and imagination, the company responds by giving a small bonus, an awards paper, and a pat on the head. Then back to work as normal. Even despite encouragement from middle management, promotions and advancement seem to be out of reach.
ATP does not pay well. Well below what other companies pay similar positions. If you are looking for mindless temp-work, this is a great place to start (if it is available).
While the company is *trying* to update itself technologically, many key systems are still stuck in the 90s. These key systems are crucial to the production line and even with continuous hassles from the people who have to work with the system, there are no plans (which I am aware of) to update.Advice to ManagementAdvice

"Google Maps Mobile v2.3.2 not working on Sony Ericsson S710a"
Google Maps Mobile v2.3.2 Java version not working on Sony Ericsson S710a :-( Installs fine but hangs forever when the app is started - the progress bar progresses very slowly upto a point halfway and then stops, hangs. The previous Java version (don't remember the version number) worked fine. Google doesn't provide the older versions and I can't find any of the older versions anywhere. Please, if somebody knows, provide the older versions. Thanks.

Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Announces President And CEO Laurence Geller To Step Down
CHICAGO, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: BEE) announced today that Laurence S. Geller is stepping down as President and Chief Executive Officer and member of the Company's Board of Directors, effective immediately. Raymond L. "Rip" Gellein, Jr., Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, will assume the additional role of Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Geller will serve in an advisory role to Mr. Gellein until the end of the year. In addition, the Company today reaffirmed its full-year guidance.
"Laurence has led the creation of an outstanding hotel company, replete with some of the world's most enviable hotels and a deep management team of accomplished professionals," said Mr. Gellein. "He instilled a legacy of ingenuity and disciplined execution that drives both company and hotel performance which will serve Strategic Hotels well into the future. On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I thank him for his numerous contributions and wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
Mr. Geller said: "It has been an immense source of pride over the past 15 years to have founded Strategic Hotels and to have worked with a terrific team to build not only the acknowledged best high-end lodging portfolio, but also the most admired asset management organization in the industry. We have emerged from the recession a strong company with great assets well positioned for sustained growth in a virtually no-supply environment. And with the recent addition of the iconic JW Marriott Essex House New York, the Company has re-established its East Coast presence. With all of this in place, and my second novel, ' The Last Resort,' being published this month, now is an excellent time to transition leadership of the Company into Rip's more-than-capable hands and focus on my myriad other activities and the next chapter in my life. I remain a significant shareholder of the Company and hold it in the highest regard," Geller concluded.
Mr. Gellein has been a member of the Company's Board of Directors since August 2009 and has served as its Chairman since August 2010. A proven leader with deep operational and financial expertise in the public lodging industry, Mr. Gellein is intimately ingrained in both the development and execution of the Company's strategic plan. Previously, he was President of the Global Development Group for Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide and, before that, was the Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc. Gellein also served as Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Vistana, Inc. Mr. Gellein's assumption of the CEO role is consistent with the Company's succession plan."I am fully confident in both the strategic direction of the Company as well as the strength and professionalism of its leadership team," said Gellein. "This group has decades of industry experience and will ensure the Company seamlessly continues the execution of its strategic plan. Given our unique physical assets, profitable hotel operations and strong balance sheet, I am looking forward to leading Strategic Hotels as it realizes its future earnings and operating growth potential."

just do like my holdings did over at IDRA and jump 300 percent in about 5 or 6 weeks?? At these prices we are just talking about heading north of 2 bucks or thereabouts. Then I could dump half and recover most of what I paid. Is that too much to ask? eh?
It may not do any good, but I have contacted the SEC and Mr. McCartney's company asking for assistance. The contact at the New York Bank refuses to give me any information, apparently because I don't have the actual stock certificates and therefore I don't show up as an owner of units. Well, who the heck gets their stock certs? That's why Cede and Co. shows as holder of 65 percent of the company. That is just a clearing house holding a couple of three TRILLION dollars of stock certificates. So.... I had no choice. Any trust will decay over time, but that is NOT NOT NOT what is happening here. The "new method" of calculating what EMI owes MIlls seems to be "hey, lets pay them 1/3 of what we used to and what can they do about it? Then, they sell their interest to Citibank, which is an endless maze of finger pointing and I'll transfer you to somebody else. We should still be getting about THREE TIMES WHAT IS BEING PAID. We are being cheated, stolen from, lied to and generally F***ed. I don't like it at all and don't accept it.
NOTICE MY LOGIN??? That is also my email on Y! OK? PLEASE, if you own units then contact me. I have been in this for 5 years. You CAN'T be happy with what is going on and I propose to not just sit and let it happen. please send me an Email. Thanks. Remember, people with power have been known to kill someone's yahoo idea with just a phone call. contact me BEFORE that happens. This stock should be paying TWICE what it is, someone is getting ripped off. Contact me. NOW.
Sentiment: Hold
I have owned shares/units in this trust since 2005 or 2006 I believe, but I only have records handy for 2008. forward. Some I know have been here longer. Speak up, please. Give or take a few pennies this "trust" ---- what a name, eh? -- paid 3.46 per unit/share in 2009, It paid 3.21 per unit in 2010, It paid 3.33 in 2011, Remember folks these were NOT boom years for the economy and I don't believe that the particular Music we are licensee's or whathaveyou of was THAT much more popular than now, OK?? ALL OF A SUDDEN, in 2012 the units only earn 2.00 and a tiny fraction of a cent. A couple of MILLS actually which in NOT a pun and NOT funny.... OK? Now, All we get told, and the SEC etc get told is that there is a "new" way of calculating what EMI has to pay us.. NO SPECIFICS, NO DETAILS, No ****. Now, I am NOT going to let ANOTHER bunch of scheming no goods STEAL from me. I got ripped off be some foreign companies and had trouble getting any action, but I THINK we have an SEC here and Black President and what is the point of being a guest at the Whitehouse if you can't get any action on something like this???? The Lincoln bedroom is cool, but it's the guy in the OVAL OFFICE that needs to pick up a phone and say why are you ripping off the folk. EH. SOMEBODY with more clout than me must getting ripped off for a lot more $$$$$ than me. SPEAK UP, PEOPLE. My handle here is my email also. Doesn't anybody but me think this STINKS???? Just saying, "there's a new way of calculating what we owe you. We pay you about Half or a third of what we should." DOESN'T cut it. Yes, the song list is old and gradually the fund will pay less and less, but there in nothing gradual about this. I am not accusing ANYBODY. I don't think WE -- the trust -- is guilty. I suspect is the people paying us/them. I don't want to accuse THEM either. YET. I DO know I, you, us, WE deserve an explanation.
Another point to consider. If King Barack has his way ALL dividends, Royalties, Capital Gains etc will be taxed as ordinary income with a new MINIMUM tax rate for Capital Gains of 29 percent. Therefore any security already in that position has had their price DISCOUNTED as a result. Other stocks bought in the past with expectations of now or low tax liability will be CRUSHED by these tax changes or simply STOP giving dividends which will ALSO hurt the price. Remember, you CANNOT OUTWAIT King Barrack because it he does not simply SEIZE power ( not likely -- someone will put one in his grey matter should he try ) and he does not succeed in getting the Constitution Changed he can just run MICHELLE for President. She will get MORE votes than he did because he will get higher percentages of the "we think with our Vaginas" voters AKA women. By the time he runs her he will have a clear majority of AT LEAST 5 4 on the court and they will allow him to run as her Vice President should he wsh. Contrary to popular belief the 22nd amendment (TWO TERMS and 22 amendment, easy to remember if you want to discuss this with others) does NOT prevent him from becoming President again. Like many or even MOST of our laws the people writing it were IDIOTS and failed to word it correctly to accomplish what they intended. As a result it says that no one having served two terms or one and the a majority of a second term can be ELECTED to a third term ( with the usual "does not apply to current office holders clause). He can BECOME President for a third term should he be Vice President and the President dies or RESIGNS. As a result the 12th amendment saying that no one who "cannot serve as President may not be elected Vice President" is also ineffective since -- as I just showed -- he CAN "SERVE" as President, being supposedly a natural born citizen ( do NOT start that crap about what "natural born" meant... it did not does not mean anything of the kind) and above the age limit he CAN "SERVE" just can't be "ELECTED" to the office. So... whether Michelle serves as his proxy or quits and lets him serve again and again we are Unlikely to be rid of him unless he drops dead or we get really lucky and Air Force One gets hit by a meteorite or somesuch. The last election should have taught you two things. A majority of people in the USA now WANT a socialist government supported by massive taxes on the wealthy and on corporations. TWO. The Republican party is INCAPABLE of LEARNING ( there's a word for that -- :STUPIDITY ) the art of Politics. Otherwise they would stop looking like they love the ultrarich, IMMEDIATELY let Obama raise the top tax rate ( which will NOT increase the amount that the Ultrarich PAY silly rabbit. Why do you think they ALL support him???). check my blog, my name, my email all the same.
The problem we face as ( the c word ) is that the other side, the Obamists, care only about getting political credit for perceived moves such as "soaking the rich" and "protecting the little people". Anyone who THINKS about it clearly sees that the ultra rich and movie starts making 10-25 million d per picture almost ALL support him. Do they want to have their money taken away?? OF COURSE NOT. Buffet, for example, NEVER sells anything and so wouldn't care if the capit9al gain rate was 99 percent. Same with Gates. Both are passing their combined 120 BILLION or so into a tax free foundation. Gates' wealth is almost completely in MSFT stock holdings he acquired for under a dollar. He will NEVER pay a capital gain nor will Buffet. They have actually found a way to "take it with them." The GOP should put in bill that says capital gains that have NEVER BEEN TAXED cannot, repeat CANNOT be passed into such an entity upon the death of the holder without paying, at that point, the capital gain must be collected. Just Bush and Buffet will pay 18 Billion with that little change and --since we LOVE the little people, too-- just exempt anyone's estate that is less than 100 million. OK? Obama??? OK???
Sentiment: Buy
don't think I am "off topic". Under a socialist government, politics runs everything. The only purpose of a company is to provide jobs. Anyone holding stock or providing capital is considered a tyrant. It is called "the tyranny of capital" -- only LABOR has any rights to the production of a company. Of course, GOVERNMENT ends up taking many times what any management and/or investor class ever DREAMED of taking and TRULY provides NOTHING. First, read Marx to understand what our President and President to be Michelle believes. Then see what Lenin and Castro and Mao actually delivered to the countries they ruled. Finally, either join together with each and every man and woman who WORKS for a living and wishes to rise by his/her own labor or we will all be enslaved by our "betters". I will not continue this string so don't bother flaming me. I am easy to find elsewhere,. My name.
This company should be a great growth opportunity. SHOULD BE. The more foreign work the better. France and Germany and China have lower taxes on business. Isn't that pathetic?
Sentiment: Hold
The country just reelected an idiot/socialist. Unfortunately, the Republican party AND CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS OF ALL COLORS continued thinking they could succeed without the almost 20 percent of US that are African American. If the country is going to grow THAT HAS TO STOP. Even BLACK conservatives ( a word I would like to eliminate, but which will serve for now) verbally write off thiss sector of the population as a bunch of lazy welfare seeking bums who can never be stopped from voting for the Democrat party. I say BULL. However, if we continue to ignore them politically, not even running ads on "their" radio and tv stations and candidate never interviewing on same --- If WE, US of the CAPITALIST persuasion don't engage them in debate and/or conversation (same root as CONVERSION you will note) then forget the entire economy. As one of the Democratic Stalwarts in Congress until "Barack needs to take over ALL yo' companies, take em and run them just like GM. It''s called Sociallism. Get used to it." Either GET BUSY TALKING, Walking ( as in move..... where?..) or sit squaking through 12 years of BHO and then President Michelle AND DON'T THINK SHE WON'T RUN AND WIN PEOPLE.
Do you like your "whites only" tea party meetings THAT much? When the MAJORITY or Blacks and the MAJORITY of Mexican Americans (:Hispanic is a meaningless grouping, seriously) AGREE WITH "us" on almost every issue???????? and BTW, just kiss NG goodbye as a fuel.
The human heart is a tesseract. It is only possible to view four of the cubes in a tesseract in any three space. How many groups of fours cubes from the same tesseract can possibly exist in any one three space?
well, for crying out loud, I can FINALLY post a message. Am I the only one that hasn't been able to post for a couple of days?? Oh well, that's the past, right?
you are out of your mind. Republicans LOST the election today. There is no point in even voting. We have the most incompetent President in 100 years, the economic recovery which should have been completed and business ROARING by now... and we are going to lose by more than 10 points, probably 57/43 or close to that. It's hard to believe anybody ANYBODY could screw this up this badly but remember.........MCCAIN BEAT THIS IDIOT -- and BEAT HIM BADLY. I had to stop Ryan's BS just now.... yes, oh he who is almost through his SECOND TWO YEAR TERM in the HOUSE. Yes, he who won ONE of Wisconsin's TWENTY house districts... that means if he won his race 60/40 that he pulled down THREE PERCENT of the voters in his state... yes THREE percent and now with 3 1/2 years in congress behind him he is Pontificating his great political wisdom... "Do we want to solve this problems?? What do people think? We should (wets his finger in mouth and holds it up) check the polls and follow what THEY SAY? Oh wise man who polled 3 percent of his state for his 3 years in congress. He looks like pinnochio coming off a 3 day drunk.... YES STUPID that's EXACTLY what you should do. Because the only thing that matters is DID YOU WIN?????? That's how Nixon won, Bush won, Clinton won... Did Clinton run on "ending welfare as we have always known it"??? HELL NO, After you WIN you can do what you Can... Christ Romney picked the one guy who is certain to COST us votes, The democrats don't understand economics, the constitution, many things, but WE DON'T UNDERSTAND POLITICS!
company records make it absolutely plain. he left in 1999. Whether he got delayed compensation is ok to fool idiots, but most people on THIS board know full well that executives are often paid for a decade or more AFTER THEY LEAVE. You can point to a football player getting deferred monies a decade after he topped playing and blame him for a game being lost and some profoundly stupid people will believe you. same thing.
Point being that we all need to pray for a hundred more movies like "that's entertainment" and "The Al Jolson Story" next year.... all of them sucking in 1.5 Billion at the Box Office and selling 100 million DVDs... oh YEAH!
This is the exact speech he is going to give. "I looked at many fine outstanding candidates. I looked at a Black Woman and an Hispanic Man, but decided to use this excuse. I need someone with executive experience who could become President at a moment's notice if <insert laugh line> it becomes necessary. Therefore...I picked a white male!!! OF COURSE!! I mean Blacks and Mexicans --oops, Cubans can't really BE President.
WHY doesn't Romney speak up and say this?? US Steel, the airlines and DOZENS of other companies have gone through bankruptcy AS SPECIFIED IN THE CONSTITUTION. The did NOT disappear. They don't cease to exist. In most cases as would have been the case with GM NO JOBS WERE LOST. The people who used to supply them still do business with them AS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE WITH GM. The only thing about the unconstitutional bankruptcy done in the oval officd is that is was a giant payoff TO THE UNION. NOT the workers, not the people who SHOULD have received the new stock issued for GM -- the bond holders, but the UNION. Most of you employees reading this...did YOU get GM stock? Of course not. Don't let the union kid you that somehow YOU got half of the company...you did not. YOU are NOT the union. Your UNION got HALF THE COMPANY STOCK, the GOVERNMENT took the other half. Did they give stock to THE PEOPLE? the CITIZENS?? no.
Have you ever seen someone injured in a wreck or on the battlefield yelling HELP HELP SOMEBODY GET ME INSURANCE!!
In bad movies when an actor in a play has a heart attack or gets shot does some kneel beside him and yell "Is there an INSURANCE AGENT in the House?????"
Well??????? Obamacare is a con job and a multi billion dollar payoff to the insurance industry which already has 10 times the assets of the banking industry. THAT'S CRAP. Think. Call you Senators and Congresman. Poor people need free of very cheap HEALTH CARE. Everybody needs HEALTHCARE that they can afford. The insurance companies have been conning us all for decades. Go to Doctor. Bill says $275. You pay a 30 dollar copay and most THINK the insurance company picks up the rest. Reality?? They pay 20 to 30 dollars. TOPS.
well it WOULD be typical. I sold all my stock except a thousand shares so.... time to climb. right?
First about the transcript. Its a dirty little secret about Ivy League educations. Read Thomas Sowell's book on the subject. HE went to Harvard when they only let SMART poor black kids in. Later they wanted "authentic black kids" There's a very unpleasant word for them. Problem: Most of them could barely read, how to make them pass? Simple. "Black Studies" "Woman Studies" etc etc. If you SAW his transcripts you would find out that 80 to 90 percent of his classes had words like "Race" and "Gender" and "Black" in them. Race and the constitution, Black Industrial theory, etc etc etc. Also, Thomas Sowell will ADMIT something that even when HE went to Harvard.... he graduated with a degree in Economics and was a dyed in the wool MARXIST. "it's the only economics they teach there" It wasn't till he reached Chicago and studied under the father of conservative economics that he learned.... it all be B*ll S**t. It's a "complete" theory. so what? The bible is "internally consistent", too. That doesn't mean the world was made in six days. Sorry.
don't get my wrong. I 've been into LNDC for a couple of 3 years and I love the products, but why exactly should I believe that the STOCK is going to keep going up? anybody?
Any stock selling for 50 cents has a delisting issue. They may not have been given a deadline letter as of yet, but you cannot stay on a major exchange forever with a 50 cent price. They will eventually have to get the price up even if they have to reverse split. THAT isn't the primary problem stockholders should worry about. DO THEY HAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE TO SELL?? WILL THEY EVER HAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE TO SELL?? "That do be the question" quoth Black Hamlet.

They're not going to take any **** from the GOP and will probably start hinting that all their money goes to the Dems in the midterms if the deal doesn't get done.
The next thing to happen will be immigration reform. Why? Because the GOP can see the writing on the wall. They just got their asses kicked in this election. They are going to be looking forward to the midterms in two years and realize they could get their asses kicked again if they don't do comprehensive immigration reform. In other words, they've got to turn around how they are perceived by Latinos. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see some Republican jump out ahead on the legislation and try to make it a GOP associated agenda item.
As far as "Obamacare" goes, I don't think we're going hear about it again.
And before the "he only won by two points" crowd chimes in, it was, in nearly every sense of the phrase, an ass-kicking. There were far more elections out there than the presidency. The first Asian American congresswoman, the first openly gay senator, 20 women senators, openly gay state congress members in states like North Dakota and West Virginia, two states voting for gay marriage, two more states voting against gay marriage bans, marijuana laws passing, the judge in Iowa who overturned a gay marriage ban being re-elected...the list goes on, and on, and on.
The electorate is changing, and the minorities (who will in the near future no longer be numerical minorities) have spoken. The right needs to get in line, or we're going to see a two-party system of mainly democtrats vs. libertarians or constitutionists, and sooner rather than later.

What a week! At least I went to the gym all week - many days I almost bailed.
Lot's of stuff to do this weekend and not enough time.
Why do I love these stupid emoticans??? Seriously?????
What a week!
I am so happy the weekend is almost here. It is super windy - hope that does not deter me from doing errands.
I really want to catch up on sleep.
I didn't go to the gym yesterday and was really disappointed. It's the first day I missed in 2 weeks.
I had a meeting and did not want to go early in the morning and didn't feel good in the evening so I went home from work.
Today, even thought I feel like crap and slept like crap, I am going at lunch.
I do feel so much better when I go - really.
Hope everyone has a splendid day!
I have a lunch meeting that I am in charge of and, unfortunately, can't get to the gym.
Last time, I went at 6AM and all of the spinners were there.
Well, they don't wipe down the machines they use - GROSS!
Why should I have to get on sweaty, germy, machines?
I shouldn't.
To blog about anything. Sigh...

Eric Braeden: Written Out of The Young and the Restlessby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The economy continues to take its toll on the world of daytime drama.
The latest tragic example involves Eric Braeden, as TV Guide Canada reports his character of Victor Newman has been written out of The Young and the Restless. The actor has already taped his final scenes.
With budgets cuts affecting even the biggest names, Braeden had been locked in intense negotiations. He's signed through 2010, but that contract is apparently void now.
"Everyone knows they have to take a slash in pay," an insider said. "That isn't the issue — the issue is that their current contract isn't being respected. Once you open up a contract during a cycle, the original contract is null and void and you must start over from scratch. Eric thinks he should be paid his current salary until next year."
We'll keep fans apprised of this situation as news develops.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Young and the Restless, Casting News
hi my name is also kandi lol. i've been her for 47 yrs. and i'm happy to hear Eric Braeden is leaving the show. i was so excited when victor flatlined. then he was on the next week.bummer i want adam to really sock it to him. i would like to see someone anyone get rid of him. it's always victor winning. what do you say about doing something different for a change. GET RID OF VICTOR
Well all I can say Victor is the main vain of the show...why can't they do away with Gloria,Kevin,& his wife deacon and amber dr talor and Adam even ashley she is an idiot plz save victor...I will stop watching y&r and so will others of my friends!!!
I will stop watching the show if vict.leaves.
at getting to the point where the show sucks
i will stop the whaching the show for 2 things,,if you make victor leave,,and if you dont give sharon baby back,,i will make sure my friends and coworkes,,to boycutt the show ,,give back the baby,,and keepppppppppp victorrrrrrrrrrrrr
Do what you can to keep Victor with Y&R. Nikki and Victor need to get back together. Without these two people on the show, it just won't be the same. I would hate to see Victor leave the show. If you have to cut cost, cut them with some other parts, such as Patty Williams, Adam, Dr. Taylor, Decon Sharp and the so called brother of Kevin. If you want to keep viewers, keep VICTOR!
The day that Victor leaves is the day that I STOP watching this show and I have watched it since day #1. HE is what makes Y&R. Adam needs to be exposed for the terrible things that he has done. I CANNOT believe that they are going to get rid of Victor. That just blows my mind.
The show will never be the same without Victor Newman. This is ashame that he's leaving.

Posted 24 February 2012 - 03:13 AM
Hi everyone
My mum is looking to plan a baby shower for us - but i wasnt sure where to start (she has asked for some ideas / help)
Do you invite male partners? children?
Any ideas for games that areant too tacky?!
Has anyone written a 'baby shower gift list'? (listing some items you dont already have) And if so when and how do you give it out?
Are you meant to provide favours/gifts for guests?

Hi everyone
My mum is looking to plan a baby shower for us - but i wasnt sure where to start (she has asked for some ideas / help)
Do you invite male partners? children?
Any ideas for games that areant too tacky?!
Has anyone written a 'baby shower gift list'? (listing some items you dont already have) And if so when and how do you give it out?
Are you meant to provide favours/gifts for guests?
Thank you to you all in advance
Male partners - generally not
Kids - depends on their age but I have beento a few with kids, maybe havea dvd ready and somewhere they canwatch it thats kid-proof and a bit separate
Games - google is great, there is a story-type one that is quite funny where you fill in the gaps
Gift list - my friend whose shower I was organising gave me the list and I forwarded it on to ppl who wanted ideas
Favours - none of the showers had these but they were all pretty low key events. We did have prizes for games that had a winner though
Hope it helps and have fun

I have my baby shower next weekend so have recently gone through trying to answer all these questions! As to males - I'm not into things being stereotypically 'girly' so initially really wanted to have men there, but I spoke to a few of them (including DP!) and they just aren't interested in baby stuff. I think it can still be done successfully, you would probably just need to make it more of a BBQ type thing or something.
I'm not having any games as I find them all tacky, but what I am doing is having a table set up with onesies and bibs and t-shirts of various baby sizes where guests can go and paint or add transfers, paint in stencils etc so we end up with a lot of clothes that our guests have personalised.
Gifts - I made the contentious move of creating a registry. I did it through a website - thankyou.com.au, where you can add all sorts of items that come from any shops. I was also quite clear on the home page that it was just if people wanted ideas and they didn't have to purchase any of those items if they had their own ideas. That may have backfired though as a week out only one item has been marked as purchased! I then included a small piece of paper with the invite that just said something like, for gift suggestions go to www.thankyou.com.au. However, for another shower that I was involved in organising our pregnant friend gave us a list and we sent it to people. My mother, who is technically 'organising' my shower, just isn't that organised though.
I'm still undecided on the gifts for guests. The last shower I went to gave out small gifts, but I'm not sure what I would give and as I don't have much time now and would need to do it myself, I think it will probably end up being left out.

At my friend's baby shower the few games she had was to guess how wide her belly was - done with wool & guess the number of jelly babies in the jar!
She too had a heap of singlets with fabric crayons - so everyone decorated these for her.
As for gifts, she just simply asked for childrens books.
There were a few kids there, but most were infants, as for partners, they were invited, but the boys that did come ended up down at the park with their dog & a football

I think male partners is not good idea.

I think favors are a nice idea. They don't have to be complicated or expensive but they are a cute personal touch
Posted 25 February 2012 - 04:31 PM
I think you should just do whatever is going to give you a fun day.
For me it looks like this:
My friend is hosting the party for DH and I
We are inviting our friends and family of both sexes
We are having a BBQ and drinks
We are not having baby games or particularly a baby theme - it's just a celebration
That's just the type of day I would enjoy - not everyone's cup of tea but I think that's the point. What would you enjoy?

I have arranged a shower for a friend and invited male friends and kids. I actually got a good idea from a video I've seen online. I also set up a gift list suggestion on thankyou.com.au for her.
Perhaps this video will help. good luck!

When I helped host my friend's shower we had some games. There was guess the number of jelly babies in the jar, pass the parcel where the parcel was a teddy bear, the layers were baby clothes, the prizes were small sweets/cosmetics and you had to answer baby trivia to unwrap a layer (guest of honour got the teddy and clothes), a "guess the pregnant celebrity" slideshow where I blocked the faces out and a "match the celebrity baby name to the parents" thing. I think that's all we did. We didn't give out favours to guests but I think everyone went home with at least one prize from the games. We didn't have any males there nor kids for that matter, but I think it just depends on your guest list. My friend did up a list of gift ideas and gave it to me, so on the invitation I just said "I have a list of gift ideas, please let me know if you are interested" and some people were and others weren't. I also tried to get people to bring a favourite family recipe to create a recipe journal for her, but only one person did that
I think it depends on what kind of gathering you have, what's going to be fun for you, etc. No rules or anything - it doesn't have to be super girly, or have games, or presents. Whatever you like!

Desmond Tutu and Ela Bhatt: On international day of the girl, let's unleash a 21st century feminism to liberate women everywhere
Two members of the Elders, an international group working for peace and human rights, are calling for new schemes and new energy to liberate girls from modern tyrannies such as child marriage
This is a day to celebrate the fact that it is girls who will change the world; that the empowerment of girls holds the key to development and security for families, communities and societies worldwide. It also recognises the discrimination and violence that girls disproportionately endure – and it is especially important that one of the cruellest hardships to befall girls, child marriage, should be the UN's chosen theme for this inaugural day.
The marriage of adolescent girls, sometimes to much older men, sums up much of the harm, injustice and stolen potential that afflict so many girls around the world.
Ten million girls under the age of 18 are married off, every year, with little or no say in the matter. That's 100 million girls in the next decade. Their parents may feel they are doing the right thing to protect their daughters, but in reality these brides will be vulnerable to ill health, violence, inadequate education and poverty – as will their children.
Imagine, instead, the wonderful force we would unleash if these girls could be spared such a life.
They would be more likely to stay in school. Studies have shown that when girls stay longer in primary school, they earn wages up to 10 to 20 per cent higher in their adult lives. As they get older, the differences in earnings are even more encouraging: for every extra year in secondary school, they can earn up to 25 per cent more in adulthood.
Child brides no more
These girls would also be more likely to be healthy, and less likely to contract diseases such as HIV/AIDS than married girls of the same age. And when a woman does eventually start a family, again experts have shown the benefit of having enjoyed a healthy, educated and safe childhood: rates of maternal and child mortality are also improved by better education, while there are also likely to be happier relations between husband and wife and within the family. What is more, women reinvest more money into their family than men do – so everyone benefits from the higher earnings.
And we know, having seen it first-hand in successful efforts to reduce child marriage, that these women won't let their daughters marry as children. Child marriage could cease to exist with their generation.
Today, we have the opportunity to enshrine such a global pledge to end child marriage.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), international targets set at the turn of the century, proved it was possible to think, and to act, on the largest of scales: halving extreme poverty, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education are some of its objectives, all by the target date of 2015. Unlike many international commitments, the MDGs are still remembered years later, and helped galvanise unprecedented efforts by governments.
Important progress has been made towards meeting the MDGs: for instance, the target of halving the proportion of people without reliable access to improved drinking water has already been met, and primary school enrolment of girls has equalled that of boys. Overall the MDGs have made a historic contribution towards reducing poverty.
But this progress will be stunted if we fail to address injustices as staggering, persistent and widespread as child marriage. As our leaders begin the process of preparing new development goals to succeed the MDGs, the persistence of child marriage should be seen as one of the major barriers to the well-being of our human family.
Too often, child marriage is justified on the basis of custom or tradition. While traditions often serve to bind societies together, we also want to point out that traditions are man-made. If we learn that they are harmful, we should change them.
In our travels, as Elders, in Asia and Africa, we have met brave girls – and boys – who do not hesitate to stand up to tradition and say no to child marriage. In Bihar, a state in northeast India where nearly 70 per cent of girls marry before they turn 18 (contrary to national law), we met admirable young people who were signing pledges not to marry before 18. In Amhara, a region in northern Ethiopia, where the most common age for a girl to marry is 12, we visited girls who participated in workshops to discuss collectively the benefits of ending child marriage.
These meetings have convinced us that there is a real need to connect groups around the world, enable them to work together and help to end this practice for the benefit of us all. This led to the creation, last year, of Girls Not Brides, a global partnership of organisations dedicated to stopping the practice, with a membership now growing in the hundreds.
Day after day, the voices of these girls and boys continue to rise higher up the international agenda. We believe that an international consensus on the need to end child marriage is within sight. When we created Girls Not Brides in 2011, we committed to ending child marriage in one generation. Why not, then, pledge the elimination of this harmful practice by 2030? Development targets to improve global health, education and gender equality would also be directly tackled by a pledge to end this devastating practice.
And generation after generation, girls would be able to fulfil their potential, amplify the benefits bestowed upon them by their own mothers – and bless their daughters to do the same. On this inaugural Day of the Girl, we call on the international community to promise a different life to those girls – a life of their choosing.
Desmond Tutu and Ela Bhatt are members of The Elders, a group of independent leaders working for peace, justice and human rights. In 2011, The Elders founded Girls Not Brides, a global partnership of 190 organisations working to end child marriage all over the world.
Ela Bhatt founded the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA), now one of India's biggest trade unions with more than 1.2 million members.
Desmond Tutu is archbishop emeritus of Cape Town and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

"Finely crafted beats here with a wealth of creativity mixed in. Diggin' "What If" Leona's voice is fresh and unique. Wide range of instruments and styles in your beats... something for everyone."Auto Pilot" super mix... intense and clear and a real 'ear candy experience' in the headphones. Love that "Playas Ball Beat" sounding good so far, even though a rough draft. Keep up this incredible work, we're fans. <3"
