Help Desk
Help Desk: Hell is Other People
Help Desk is an arts-advice column that demystifies practices for artists, writers, curators, collectors, patrons, and the general public. Submit your questions anonymously here. All submissions become the property of Daily Serving. Help Desk is co-sponsored by KQED.org.
What is the proper payment scheme for commissioned art? Also, what is the proper way to formalize the deal on payment? Finally what's the allowable time table for the artist to finish the art? Is it proper to follow up? I had a great deal from my favorite artist last February, after he agreed to make a piece for me at a price that I can afford. We agreed to meet up and discuss the subject, but now he's not contacting me.
Have I ever told you how much I love written contracts? No? Well, let's sit down and talk about it now.
Here are two things I believe: 1.) a good contract protects both parties equally; 2.) the written contract is your friend. From the limited information in your query, it's hard for me to know if you've already given this artist money or not, but it sounds like maybe you have. If that's the case, and you can't get a hold of this person over email or Facebook or telephone, it seems like you have two options: walk away or sue to get your money back. But since I'm not a lawyer, I'm going to go back to my real job of answering your more direct questions so that you can avoid disappointment in the future. So, from the top:
What is the proper payment scheme for commissioned art? The proper payment scheme is the one that you and the artist decide on together. Some artists need the money to buy supplies, others want payment on delivery just like a regular sale. Still others will prefer a deposit and payments along the way. It depends on your budget, the artist's fiscal needs, and the comfort levels of both parties.
What is the proper way to formalize the deal on payment? What's the allowable time table for the artist to finish the art? Both parties sign a written contract that states the preferences decided on above, with an additional timeline scheduling payments and delivery dates.
Is it proper to follow up? Did you give this person money? Then hell, yes, it's proper to follow up! The contract that you wrote will have email addresses, physical addresses, and telephone numbers on it, so following up will be easy. Of course, you'll want to be diplomatic about any lapses (that is to say, "Just checking in…" instead of "Where's my damn painting?"—you never know when someone may have tripped over the cat and sprained a wrist), but in the end you'll have a contract to use as a negotiating tool if things go awry.
Of course, this advice only touches on the financial aspects of commissioning. Readers who have been with me from the beginning will already know that I'm a fan of the book Art/Work by Heather Darcy Bhandari and Jonathan Melber. Even in the absence of kickbacks and nepotism (I'm not related to either of them, I swear), I recommend that you buy a copy of this book and read "Chapter 11: Loans and Commissions," which outlines in greater detail the ins and outs of commissioning, including a sample Commission Agreement on pages 228-229.
I'm sorry you're in a muddle with this artist, and I sincerely hope you can work it out, and also that it doesn't keep you from commissioning work in the future. There are plenty of hard-working and responsible artists who would love to be asked to work on a commission. Good luck.
I am not great in social situations and everyone keeps telling me that if I don't go to openings I will never get any opportunities. I have a hard time forcing myself to go to shows and when I do I usually end up standing off to the side not talking to anyone. People usually tell me to "just talk to people" but that is much easier said than done. What should I do?
Art openings are like family holidays: you either love them or loathe them. If you've got a cool family filled with smart, fun people, the holidays rock. If you have to make small talk with a room full of strangers you see once a year, well…no wonder everyone talks about the suicide rates in December.
As far as I can tell, there are three components to enjoying art openings: don't think about what you're wearing, bring a buddy, and go often. Let's look at each one individually. Your initial goal is to stop feeling self-conscious. It's hard to forget about yourself in a room full of people who are first and foremost visual; the trick is to remember that everyone there is wondering if they wore the appropriate shoes. Obviously, impressions count and you want to fit in, but stop thinking that everyone is looking at you and assessing your right to be in the room. They're not. In fact, they might even feel the same way you do: awkward and alone.
Bringing a buddy can be key, especially when you're starting out. You'll have a built-in means to chat about the artwork, and then afterward you can go to the bar and gossip about the prices and what sold and who else was there. A buddy will also introduce you to the people he or she knows (if any) and you can start to make some connections within the community in your area. One note of caution: don't lean too hard on your buddy. You should take the opportunity to split up for at least part of the evening, or else you might find that your friend is the only person you spoke to for three hours. For that, you can stay home in your sweatpants.
Yes, "just talk to people" is easier said than done, but you have to suck it up and start somewhere. Try asking questions, "Do you know who made that very dark video?" at a group show, or "Does the artist always work with toilet paper?" at a solo show. Practice talking to people in the most inane ways: ask the gallerina if openings are always on Fridays or how long the gallery has been in operation. Ask a stranger for the time or where to find a bathroom. It doesn't really matter what you say: if you are shy and want to change, you have to practice. It's going to hurt at first, but like most new habits, it gets easier and easier as you go.
The real key to enjoying openings is to go often. You start to see the same people, and then you start to talk to them, and then you make new friends. When you know you'll see your friends, art openings become a pleasure: each is a little party filled with people that you like and want to see, a three-hour holiday of good cheer to balance every month of hard work and solitude. So put on your best shoes and oil your jaw hinges, and we'll see you downtown.

This article is part of the The Lost Transcripts of Mr. Wizard series.
(Scene opens with Mr. Wizard and Raul in the LAB)
MR. WIZARD: Okay Raul, in order to continue with our experiment we're going to have to don our protective equipment. Have you got your goggles and gloves ready?
RAUL: ¿Qué?
MR. WIZARD: K? Kay? What the... Goggles and gloves! Do you have any? We're going to be working with acid, you stupid child.
RAUL: No comprendo, Senor Mago. No comprendo.
MR. WIZARD: (Rubs his temples and sighs) I don't speak Greek or Gargoyle or whatever it is you're saying. Do you know what acid is?
RAUL: ¿El ácido?
(Mr. Wizard throws a beaker of acid in Raul's face. Raul runs screaming from the room)
MR WIZARD: Well, it looks like you understand now, Raul. Go get your fucking goggles.
(Scene opens with Tracy and Mr. Wizard standing at the counter in the KITCHEN)
TRACY: That's strange, Mr. Wizard. I would have assumed that the bowling ball would have sunk like a stone! How is it floating?
MR. WIZARD: Well Tracy, it has to do with the density of the ball, or any object for that matter. You see, the ball on its own might feel heavy to you, but if its density is less than the density of that of water, or one gram per cubic centimeter, then it will float.
TRACY: So do all bowling balls float?
MR. WIZARD: No, not all of them. It has to do with ...
RICK ASTLEY: Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry. Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie, and hurt you.
(Rick Astley leaves the KITCHEN through the PATIO DOOR)
TRACY: Um ... what? Was that just Rick Astley?
MR. WIZARD: It certainly seems so. He felt the need to interrupt us by singing that god-awful song. I can't think of anything more annoying. Let's hope that never, ever grows in popularity or happens again.
(Scene opens with Mr. Wizard and Carl seated at the table in the KITCHEN. Tracy enters from the HALLWAY)
TRACY: Hey guys! Whats going on today?
MR. WIZARD: Well, we've been going science-crazy in the lab all day, and we've been getting hungry. I'm gonna make Carl hotdogs. Would you like some too, Tracy?
CARL: I love hotdogs!
MR. WIZARD: Of course you do, you fat little shit.
TRACY: I'd love a Carl hotdog.
CARL: Hahaha, he's not making Carl hotdogs. What he meant was he's making hotdogs for me, Carl. You big silly!
MR. WIZARD: No, no. She had it right.
CARL: Wha...
(Mr. Wizard wraps a plastic grocery bag around Carl's head. Carl struggles and thrashes about violently)
TRACY: Mmmm... Carl hotdogs.
(Scene opens with Mr. Wizard and Bryan passing a joint back and forth under a tree in the PARK)
BRYAN: (coughing) Whoa... this shit hits strong. Where did you get it?
MR. WIZARD: Donald's ... (coughing) Donald's dad picked it up for me when he went to Argentina last month. I think it's laced with something.
BRYAN: Man, I just thought of something. What if we're just sitting here getting fucked up and my leg falls asleep. Like, I'm not sleeping, just my leg falls asleep. And then Freddy Krueger starts fucking my leg up. I'm not sleeping so I can't save it, but I can't wake my leg up because, well, you know how hard it is to wake up your leg when it falls asleep.
MR. WIZARD: Wow. That's some messed-up shit. We should go for a walk and get the blood circulating then, right?
BRYAN: (coughing) Yeah. I don't want nightmare legs.
(Scene opens with Mr. Wizard standing in the DEN. Mary, Terry, Bobby, Victoria, and Phillip are seated on the floor)
MR. WIZARD: Okay, now who in here believes in Jesus?
MARY: Me!
BOBBY: I do!
PHILLIP: Me too!
MR. WIZARD: You're all three fucking idiots. Get out of my house and never return.

Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you."
Stacey Charter
"Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest; harder than adamant; never to be broken, worn away or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it; and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood of those who press earnestly upon it."

Hi, I have to design couple of snapshot reports. These reports are not supposed to run on a schedule. They must run based on a event. That is when the .net application runs a process and populates a table. Again the report snapshot needs to be generated only if there is data corresponding to that report. How do I implement this? can any one share your experience. Thanks, Gopal

Hi Dinesh, I am aware of data driven sbscriptions. Is there a way to generate a snapshot based on a event and that too if there is data to report. Is Crystal Enterprise is a better solution for this type of reporting needs? Thanks, Gopal

While it is one thing to have a social media profile on
an online community like Deviant - ART,
it is a whole other thing entirely to have fitted it with an

are terms that scare many a writer who want to write for the internet.
It's so important because once customers begin seeking your product or service you will want to have favorable words making your search results optimized.

Dark Knight Ticket Sales Eight Times as Much as Spider-Man 3
Posted on Friday, June 27th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta
WOW. Fandango is reporting that dozens of showtimes for The Dark Knight are already sold out for the midnight screenings on Thursday night/Friday morning, July 17th. That's right, even with a full three weeks before the film hits, screenings have begun to sell out. A few theaters have begun to add 3:00am showtimes on Friday morning to help meet the consumer demand.
Update: As of June 27, "Dark Knight" has sold eight times as many tickets on MovieTickets.com as "Spider-Man 3" at the same point in the sales cycle — 21 days from the film's official release. "Spider-Man 3" is the No. 10 film on MovieTickets.com's Top-10 Performing Films of All-Time.

I know for a fact that a homo parade could march through town and not get shutdown, why shouldn't the christians have the chance to display the nativity? If muslims have a right to wear turbans, gays have a right to wear rainbow ribbons, Christians should be able to display their religous items.

End nerd persecution
Being a Berkley resident and consider myself a good catholic boy! I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. Should it be displayed on state property or church property, I don't know. Actually, where they want to move it to is out in front of a church on 12 mile. Where it sits now in front of city hall its tucked back and hard to see from Coolidge. At least at the church it'll see more visibilty. I know this country was founded "Under God" but if we let the Christians have a Nativity scene at city hall then maybe my Jewish neighbor should be able to see a Menorrah when he goes to pay his water bill.

i'm pretty sure that dave's angle is that tired ol' "America was founded on Christian values..blah blah blah" rhetoric, so it should display christian stuff...but it's really not. America was founded on ideas of religious tolerance but also ideas of the separation of church and state. You can't have government property showing favoritism towards a certain religion. In this day and age, it's just stupid to think that you should. Why on earth wouldn't you want a nativity scene at a church, rather than government property. If you have that on the government property, you need to reserve a spot for something similar for every other religion, and that is pointless, so move it to the church and everybody's happy.

The first document passed on this land, by the Europeans, called the Mayflower Compact begins with this: "In the name of God, Amen." And it continues, ". . . Having undertaken for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith . . . a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia . . ." And you want to say that this country being based on Christian heritage is illegitimate? Okay. |

not voting.. and im not reading the article..
the community of berkley should vote on the nativity if the majority of the people there are christian based and want the nativity then they should have it.. if they are not christian based .. say it is a hindu community then they will obviously win vote to not have the nativity.. if they dont vote then they dont have a say and then it shouldnt matter if they have a nativity or not. if the small minority of the community does not like the nativity .. move to another city that better supports your beliefs or put up your own damn decorations. honestly this whiny rights shit is retarded..

Mr. Special Snowflake.
it lost. and I agree with that. Unless your going to allow every religion represented in the city to display their symbols on thier holidays none should be able to.

Do you think the people who are saying no to this would be willing to give up there paid holidays (x-mas) and work insted? You really want to put an end to such displays then I think thay need to look at the whole thing. I don,t even think this should be a issue but some people are were bitter with life and stupid as well. I get very sick of this ever year around x-mas with all these people who make a big deal out of this stuff, I bet that at there house on christmas day there is a shit load of stuff under the tree. NO god ok. then stop having a birth day party for him ever year. GOD BLESS Jdrl |

The plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride. The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million. However, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.
Clinical Pharmacology
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP has value as a source of water and electrolytes. It is capable of inducing diuresis depending on the clinical condition of the patient.
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP produces a metabolic alkalinizing effect. Lactate ions are metabolized ultimately to carbon dioxide and water, which requires the consumption of hydrogen cations.
Veterinary Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP Indications And Usage
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP is indicated as a source of water and electrolytes or as an alkalinizing agent.
None known
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with congestive heart failure, severe renal insufficiency, and in clinical states in which there exists edema with sodium retention.
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with hyperkalemia, severe renal failure, and in conditions in which potassium retention is present.
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP should be used with great care in patients with metabolic or respiratory alkalosis. The administration of lactate ions should be done with great care in those conditions in which there is an increased level or an impaired utilization of these ions, such as severe hepatic insufficiency.
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP should not be administered simultaneously with blood through the same administration set because of the likelihood of coagulation.
The intravenous administration of Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP can cause fluid and/or solute overloading resulting in dilution of serum electrolyte concentrations, overhydration, congested states, or pulmonary edema. The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injections. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injections.
In patients with diminished renal function, administration of Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP may result in sodium or potassium retention.
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP is not for use in the treatment of lactic acidosis.
Adverse Reactions
Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation, and hypervolemia. If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures, and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
Clinical evaluation and periodic laboratory determinations are necessary to monitor changes in fluid balance, electrolyte concentrations, and acid base balance during prolonged parenteral therapy or whenever the condition of the patient warrants such evaluation.
Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP must be used with caution. Excess administration may result in metabolic alkalosis.
Caution must be exercised in the administration of Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP to patients receiving corticosteroids or corticotropin.
Do not administer unless solution is clear and seal is intact.
Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation, and hypervolemia.
If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures, and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
Veterinary Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP Dosage And Administration
As directed by a veterinarian. Dosage is dependent upon the age, weight and clinical condition of the patient as well as laboratory determinations.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.
All injections in plastic containers are intended for intravenous administration using sterile equipment.
Additives may be incompatible. Complete information is not available. Those additives known to be incompatible should not be used. Consult with pharmacist, if available. If, in the informed judgment of the veterinarian, it is deemed advisable to introduce additives, use aseptic technique. Mix thoroughly when additives have been introduced. Do not store solutions containing additives.
In an event of overhydration or solute overload, re-evaluate the patient and institute appropriate corrective measures. See Warnings, Precautions and Adverse Events.

Yoya's Live Show Is Out of Control
Jenna Carver
Editor's Note: Yoya is one of three finalists in L.A. Weekly's Best Live Band contest, with a winner to be chosen later this month by our panel of experts. Read about our first finalist, Mars and the Massacre.
Over the objections of our copy editor, Yoya spells their name "yOya." But why?
"We thought it was cool in 2010," guitarist and vocalist Alex Pfender explains. "There's no good reason for the big 'O'. It sounds like 'yo-yo' with an 'A' at the end."
Keyboardist and vocalist Noah Dietterich offers an alternative: "A girl came up to us after one of our shows and told us it means 'You own your ass!'"

Apparently, "yoya" also means "ethereal" in Mandarin. It's a good fit for the band's sound, which they describe as "folktronic."
Whatever the case, one thing is clear: They kill it in the live setting. You can see from our original video of the band, below. It's funny.
Pfender and Dietterich met as 5th graders in Corvalis, Oregon.
By high school, they were playing in a four-piece rock band that was heavily influenced by the classic rock groups they were into at the time. That band split when it came time for college, but Pfender and Dietterich stayed close. They travelled to Los Angeles to study music; Pfender went to UCLA, Dietterich went to Pomona. That's when they discovered Los Angeles electronic music scene, and began incorporating an electronic edge into their Oregon-inspired folk songs.
But Yoya is still folk at heart. "We want the songs to stand on their own in a folky way," says Dietterich. "We take the folk part very seriously."
When yOya formed in 2010, they began posting covers and mash-ups on YouTube. They've recomposed renditions of The XX's "Crystalised" and MGMT's "Electric Feel," as well as combined tunes like David Bowie's "Major Tom" with Elton John's "Rocket Man" into one seamless song.
They used to play a mash-up of Radiohead's "High and Dry" and Gary Jules' "Mad World" at their live show. (Now, they say, they have too much original music from their releases Go North and Nothing to Die to fit in mash-ups). At the time, they would ask the audience: "Who's ready to hear the saddest song of all time? Who's ready to hear that mixed with the other saddest song of all time?"
Whatever the case, though, their rendition is hauntingly beautiful. Pfender and Deitterich's vocal harmonies soar over the ting of a triangle, while tambourines, shakers, keyboards, and electronic and acoustic guitars mesh to form a saturated, yet gentle sound.
They even play the rims of glasses filled with varying levels of water as instruments.
It's this uniquely layered and incredibly detail-oriented sound that Dietterich says makes their live show so special: "All of our arms and legs and mouths are working over time."
Pfender adds that people are often surprised by the amount of sound the two members are able to create with the simple set up of a guitar, a keyboard and a drum machine. "There is a lot going on, even if you can't see it on stage."
For four years, it has just been Pfender and Dietterich on stage, blowing people away with their high-energy, complex sounds. It was the power of their two-piece that earned them a spot as a finalist in this contest. As of a few months ago, however, Yoya has a drummer: Lucas van Bura of local band King Washington.
Get ready, because Yoya's live shows are about to get even crazier.

Like A Second Skin
This is a wonderful top, and I feel so sexy in it. It is simple to clean and easy to put on and wear. It even makes a great shirt for under a corset! I really highly recommend this to anyone who loves wet look.Published:
Shiny, Sleek, Easy to clean, HOT!
No plus sizes, May not be long enough for taller girls,
Follow-up commentary
17 months after original review
I still like this, but admit that, since I wear it a lot in cam sessions, the shine has dulled somewhat. On cam it still looks just as shiny, but in person it is somewhat faded. It is still a nice shade of black, but more "matte" in person.
This content is the opinion of the submitting contributor and is not endorsed by EdenFantasys.com
Thank you for the review
thanks for the review if this were available in plus sizes I would have one.
Thanks for the review

Skelly Bird
Okay so when I started Skelly Bird (I can't help but think of Phoebe's smelly cat song every time I say skelly bird LOL) he was going to be a sweet blue bird....he had a mind of his own and took over! In no way did he want some cutesy bird house, he wanted a haunted bird house lol. So Skelly Bird was born ;o) The curly cue on top of his head is a part from a vintage pocket watch. I painted a couple of witches, a jol, a black cat and a skeleton in the windows of Skelly Birds haunted house.
He is 8" tall not counting the curly cue x 3 wide x 3 deep. He will be available on Ebay michelelynchdesigns on Monday at 8 pm central time. Also the conjoined twins will be on ebay tonight at 9 pm central time, and Freddy ends tonight at the same time!
We got about 5 to 6 inches of snow yesterday! I meant to take a picture of the trees in bloom with the snow on them, they were so pretty! But the sun came out first thing this morning and has melted the snow off of them. It never did stick to the streets really, they were just too warm still. Crazy spring weather! xo Michele

DD, now that you're snow-bound, you have plenty of time to land on First. Well congratulations! Now go outside and make us a snow angel, take the pic and post it here. We want to see what an angel in 2 inches of snow looks like. 😆
If not that, then how about a pic of them babies…
I have distinctly pleasant memories of seeing Mr. R. Havens live: once at The Cellar Door, and again at Rock Creek amphitheater, when I was a younger gal! The experience never fades, does it? 🙂
Happy Birthday, Richie Havens!
Dudette! Oh my, it is so good to hear from you, girrrrrrrrrl!
Missed you madly. Continued prayers for your healing inside and outside.
Rest, rest and rest some more.
Love you!
Great selection of tunes, LL!! Thank you, MightyPamela 🙂
Congrats on 1st, Donna 🙂
Moreover ….
It's gonna happen ….
Welcome back Dudette. Take care of you. Continued prayers for your well being.
I think the Fars news agency hired David Icke as a consultant.
The U.S. government is being controlled by a secret regime of aliens called "Tall Whites," who were also instrumental in the rise of Nazi Germany, Iran's semi-official news agency Fars reported on Sunday.
Citing a report based on documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden (and filed under the "Space" section of the website), Fars said the Russian Federal Security Services (FSB) has recently been "stunned" by these revelations, proving "an alien/extraterrestrial intelligence agenda is driving U.S. domestic and international policy, and has been doing so since at least 1945."
"Of the many explosive revelations in this FSB report," the article continues, "the one most concerning to Russian authorities are the Snowden's [sic] documents 'confirming' that the 'Tall Whites'… are the same extraterrestrial alien race behind the stunning rise of Nazi Germany during the 1930's." This alien assistance, the report adds, manifested itself in the Reich's technically-superior submarines.
There isn't enough tin foil in the universe to contend with this scale of wacko ….
The fact that Fars copied the articles word for word from whacko website doesn't do them any favors.
Oh for crying out loud… He's on something, so do not want to know what it is!
This seems like the logical post for this POTUS music question from my mom – do either Malia or Shasha play an instrument? Do either POTUS or FLOTUS?
Warner is a favorite son in Virginia. He is revered by R's and D's. Gillespie picked the wrong Senator to run against. But hey, I don't mind them wasted their money on this election.
Ed Gillespie thinks somebody would vote for him? He's worse off than I thought. I need some brain bleach now, just thinking about him. Yuck.
Just popping in to vent…..had to attend a mandatory lecture today at work. The speaker was…..wait for it…….the Florida chair for Americns for Prosperity (turd blossom Rove's group) AND former staffer to St. Reagan after his Presidency. UGH! All this little s.o.b. talked about was "the great communicator" and "the shining city on the hill". He showed videos of speeches, talked about meeting the likes of Peggy
Noonan and David Koch! Name dropped all the successful "free market" billionaires he has met and how grand their offices and homes are. I gotta tell ya, it was pure torture. You don't know how many times during the three hour session I wanted to literally scream out or run out of the room. But my, now confirmed after witnessing her enthusiasm in meeting a guy who touched the Saint, boss was sitting right in front of me. It was painfully brutal to have to sit there. I did fill out the evaluation form at the end and stated how offended I was this jerk was brought in to lecture us. Oh, and the supposed topic of this little talk was "emotional intelligence". LOL! I still am recovering and felt as though I needed a shower and good brain cleaning after the morning lecture. The little prick is also CEO of a title company he gleefully calls "the Walmart of title companies". Perfect!
Sounds vomitous and torturous. Sorry you had to endure. Treat yourself to something great tonight to make up for that punishment!
Thanks Doster. It was literally 3 hours of pure torture. Love my job but upper mgmt are all R's. some of them are tea people. Pains me so! Having a glass of wine now. Cheers!
LB4, what a terrible thing for any company to put employees through. And three hours is beyond endurable. You deserve all the comforts and treats you can manage after a day like that. I'm glad you voiced your feelings in the evaluation.
Jeopardy! just had an 'Obama-Rama' segment and I got every question right.
Woot! Woot!
What say, meta, shall we do this again on April 22, his one year anniversary? What say,LL?
It's in the calendar – if LL and Dudette both get a reminder (from mp) We Shall Rock! I'm sure Reese Witherspoon won't mind if we all party on her 38th!
Tonight is round 2 of me trying to get my new internet up and running at home.
It was installed yesterday, and then 10 minutes after the tech left, my modem fried. I had a total First World Problems meltdown, upon which I look back ruefully now.
So I have a replacement modem, installation disc, and my inherent geekiness for this evening.
What a royal vexation! Hope you get it to work this evening. Get your geek on… 🙂
I love LeBron's face up until the dunk. It's the face I give my missus, which tends to freak her out.
Oh, and because my modem troubles ruined my cooking for last night, a reiteration of this evening's menu.
Broiled top sirloin, marinaded (now for an entire day) in evoo, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic pepper
Baked potatoes
Brussels sprouts
Wasn't the good gov, the now indicted bad gov., being touted as a great presidential candidate at one time? I remember that. Repubs sure have troubs coming up with a decent presidential candidate. And now the very "sad" tumble that the next in line has taken—-Mr. Christie. Such a headache for the GOPers. What to do, what to do? And then—–a bright and shiny and fluffy candidate appears to take the reins!—–the Donald announces that he is available and is seriously considering another run —–because the last one was so sparkly and successful! Yipee! Run Donald Run!
Yep. He was forever being trotted out and paired up with Gov. O'Malley on all the Sunday talk shows because he was their great hope before Christie came on the scene and was crowned the Republican savior by our "liberal media". Now the Repubs have no one since both of them will be tied up in legal battles for the foreseeable future. 🙂
Rachel's takin' 'em down one at a time. I don't like all her segments, and I actually stopped watching her for quite awhile (when she acts like a fangirl and "drones" on about Green-Snow crap), but I lurve when she sinks her teeth into a nasty gov or senator.
Exactly how I feel about her Sue, she's painful when she's Greenwald-worshiping etc, but absolutely brilliant on so much else, including the Christie story.
I love investigative reporting and hate what Koch money has done to media. I have hope because of your site and also because of what I've seen on some of MSNBC the last 2-3 weeks. My hope is that young people will see the value in local reporting and somehow see their way back into city hall and report what's also going on in local courts.
Not to mention: Dudette's back!
Thanks for being you, Chips. You crack me up 100 times a day and provide a safe place for indepth reporting.
Oh you snuggly huggily lovely person, Sue!! 🙂 Dudette's message was a heartwarmer, I love you people!!
This is so pretty! To look at from the comfort of a warm lodging, that is.
Exactly pf58. The next presidential photographer has some serious shoes to fill…
I was outraged when I read the account of this psychopath earlier. Glad that the SS paid him a visit to check his mental state.
There should be ZERO tolerance for this kind of filth. That this moron is running for office is even more egregious.
I'm so sick of this crazy stuff it makes me angry. I wish the SS would lock one of these nuts up just to make an example of them.
I agree. I'm not sure what they do when they "pay a visit" but this mess has gone TOO FAR. There should be real consequences.
Rick Scott has asked him to withdraw his candidacy. Nothing but nuts in that party!!!
I just texted a friend who is a retired SS agent and he says they get a warning but if it persists they will arrest them but that is all he could share with me.
Joshua Black, a Republican who is running in Florida House District 68, told the Tampa Bay Times that Secret Service agents had come to his home following the uproar over his comments.
"I'm past impeachment. It's time to arrest him and hang him high," read a message on Black's campaign Twitter page Monday.
meta, So now tell me once again that race have nothing to do with their hatred for this black President.
I hope that the good Gov. Forced Vaginal Ultrasound McDonnell of VA will think of a presidential run in 2016. That is, if the Donald doesn't run first. Either way, having Sarah Palin, wrongly referred to as "an idiot" by the old Olbermann, is a sure winner. Please proceed, GOP.
Having a rather busy January but just had to stop by to wish Mighty P a very happy birthday, and many, many more!! 🙂 🙂
Not so fast, m'dear Hopefruit!! Mine was last month, you did NOT miss it, I remember! Today we are celebrating the awesome Soul who was Richie Havens (1941), though he has left us for a little while, his music lifts us up today!! 🙂
Glad to hear that you are on the mend.
Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.
You have been missed.
Hi all – I'm up late and soon out for the day – haven't had time for much reading but I did see
{{{{{{{dudette}}}}}}} on rise and shine – so pleased you will soon be back with the songs – you were so missed
I also saw McConnell and wife indicted – wondering if this is good news for Christie – something else for people to chat about – or bad news for Christie – what might be in his future
Enjoy your evening
I see the Secret Service paid a visit to this Fl. GOP goofball nutcase state senate candidate a visit for tweeting about PBO—-"I'm past impeachment. Arrest him and hang him high." And when even Fl. Gov. Nutty Nut Scott was horrified, or pretended to be, asked him to drop his candidacy, he said he is staying in the race. (and what does the secret service do with these guys, just say "bad boy, don't do that again!"?)
We are swimming in whackos in this country.
Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill deBlasio are at war.
This first became visible when DeBlasio didn't choose Cuomo for either of his swearing in ceremonies. The first on Dec. 31 was at The Mayors Brooklyn residence and NY Attorney General Eric Scneiderman did the honors.
The official inauguration featured Hillary in the prime aisle seat and Bill Clinton doing the swearing in.
Cuomo sat near Bloomberg. Neither had roles in the left-wing lovefest.
Cuomo repaid the insult by not mentioning DeBlasios presence at his State of the State address. Cuomo gave shoutouts to everyone but deBlasio.
Which brings us to today.
Cuomo went directly at deBlasio attempting to co-opt Bills pre-K plan.
The Mayor wants pre-k to be funded by a tax on people earning 500,000. The Governor says No New Taxes.
The Governor is supported by the media and rich folks on both sides of the poitical aisle.
Bill deBlasio has only us, the people.
Stay tuned, as Rachel would say.
Vicki, I've actually heard people mention Cuomo as a presidential candidate and I quickly express my horror that they could consider this very limited man presidential material. Cuomo has much to gain by forging an alliance with deBlasio. He (Cuomo) has no populist appeal and he would do well to burnish his own credentials by linking his name to the new mayor. If the governor can't keep his petty piques from showing in the first month, then he's pretty much dooming himself. I really believe that deBlasio will triumph and not Cuomo.
Some tweets are too good to ignore.

GLWS, but how do you get 35mpg's?? My 04 has the 2.3 and I get 25, all highway. Also some 03's had the 2.3. I wish I could afford this car, it is very nice!! Also your pics show 2 different headlights.
I know they had them in some 03's but they didn't make a saleen in 03 so they couldn't of had the 2.3 lol......... Your right I got 34.8 mpg last tank.. You should be getting a lot better then 25. I get over 25 in my focus svt all highway. The duratec motor gets better mpg's by far
Shot in the dark but interested in a trade + cash for an '05 ST just turned 80k but has 40k on newer engine/trans/accessories and 25k on Saleen suspension? No dents/rust/paint issues. SAP front bumper and spoiler. I'm not sure what the value difference is but we could work that out. I've been looking for a Saleen for awhile.
Interested in selling the hood scoop?
yes I know the pictures are all different.. I don't have any current ones cause the car is put away for the winter like it has been it whole life.. it went around in end of September and wont come out till salt will long gone...

GLWS..... For the right price I would still be interested. Would be more interested if it was all original. Nice upgrades because they increase driveability and function but they also decrease the value.

Most of us have strong feelings about money. Those feelings are actually based on our unique money personalities—the way we're wired, the influences of our parents, and/or our past experiences with money or employment. And those personalities play a significant role in marriage.
Some people hoard money, while others are carelessly generous. Some are responsible about financial tasks, others avoid them. Some invest conservatively, others take great risks, still others are afraid to deal with money at all. These deeply ingrained feelings and behaviors can make it hard to be rational about money, which can cause a strain on a marriage.
For example, take Bryan and Teri Smith. They're facing a serious marital crisis, in great part because of a clash of different money personalities. Their deepest needs, masked by money issues, continue to collide and paralyze each other from making progress into a healthier, happier marriage.
Bryan likes to feel significant. He excels in his work and wants to show off his success. Bryan and Teri live in a beautiful house in an exclusive part of town and drive a luxury vehicle. What most people don't know is that Bryan rents their home for an exorbitant amount and leases his car. But to Bryan, the costs are worth it. He's able to have the lifestyle he wants and not feel deprived.
Teri, on the other hand, appreciates the luxury, but has a stronger need for security. She'd prefer to own a home, but they'd have to move to a more affordable neighborhood, and she doesn't want to uproot their children from the local school. So they continue to live a flashy lifestyle—with no savings for the future, which creates anxiety and stress for her.
God-given differences
Marital conflicts arise not because of money itself, but because of a couple's differing emotions about money. The Bible supports this: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). Behavioral psychologists agree that the two most basic human needs, beyond food and shelter, are for security and significance. These differences, although basically non-economic in nature, tend to work themselves out in economic terms.
One partner's need for significance drives him to "acquire," often by debt, thus threatening the other partner's high need for security. Such is the case with Bryan and Teri.

I used Brandy Murrays 12x12 Journalers digital layout template. The background paper is from her Shabby Bakery Collection. The inner paper and brad are from her Shabby Blanc Collection. The clock face word art and accent paper are from Kerrys Time Traveler Collection. I used her Intaglio Styles on the text and the swirls. I used Sarahs Basic Shadows Styles on the embellishments. The journaling font is Myriad Pro, and his name is in Certificate Script.
This is lovely, Gayle - I like the color palette you've chosen - I have so many photos in the same type paper frames (or mats) as the one you've scrapped - have never known quite what colors to use to scrap them until now! You did a wonderful job scrapping this one - I love the swirl and the clock is the perfect touch!
What a beautiful page! I love the heritage look, and this is so richly done. I love the swirls, the clock, and the shaped journaling. Your Dad looks handsome and proud (and young!)
That's a wonderful photo, I love the swirls and the colours work really well with the photo.
He certainly was a handsome young man. I love the swirl and the way you journaled this page. Lovely layout.
What an incredible photo, fantastic quality and he is so young and handsome. I love how you incorporated the journaling and clock. The swirls bordering the journaling and bottom corner are great.
I love the colors you have chosen here! Beautiful layout! Love the journaling, too!
Very nice swirl and journalist are. He is a handsome fella.
Gayle, you did a wonderful job on this layout. I love the journaling and the way all the elements go so well with the subject.
I like the very traditional style you've used. It's perfect for this formal photo of your very young father.
What an amazing photo to have... sad to think he worked so hard to follow his dream and it was cut short by the War. I know family commitments would have prevented him returning to his studies, which I am sure he never regretted, but still a shame to lose that dream. You scrapped this beautifully, it is possibly my favourite of yours! I love the gold with those neutral colours and the way you chose to lay this out... wonderful template choice and the clock certainly gives that feeling of time passing as well as being remembered... Love the direction you took this page in rather than a 'standard' high school page. Beautiful artistic page!

Some say roll with the punches. Drift with the tide. Nothing can stop the inevitability of change. There was a time when 300 Spartans disagreed with such mindless thinking and stood in the gap.
Now it's time for 3,000 to stand in the gap.
Sinner is the story of Marsuvees Black, a force of raw evil who speaks with wicked persuasion that is far more destructive than swords or guns. Beware all who stand in his way.
It's also the story of Billy Rediger and Darcy Lange, two unsuspecting survivors of a research project gone bad, who discover that they are perhaps the two most powerful souls in the land. Listen to them or pay a terrible price.
And it's the story of Johnny Drake, the one who comes out of the desert and leads the 3,000. Follow him and die.
Sinner tells the story of a free land where people who worship as they please and say what they believe are suddenly silenced in the name of tolerance.
Most will roll with the punches.
Most will drift with the tide. But not all.
Not the 3,000.

Father | |
| |
Vital statistics | |
Gender | Male |
Age | unknown, possibly mid 30s to early 40s |
Family | Mother (wife), Daughter (daughter) |
Status | Deceased |
Location | Royal Palms Resort |
The father is an unnamed character that appeared in the exclusive CGI Dead Island trailer who was vacationing with his daughter and his wife on Banoi Island. He attempted to protect his family from the undead, to no avail, as his own daughter turned into a zombie and bit him.
The father appears in the E3 trailer and again in the beginning of the game. In the game, he is shown dead, lying on the ground alongside his wife. He wore a brown polo shirt along with cargo shorts, and had short spiked hair with a subtle beard.
The father is shown in the trailer hiding in his hotel room with his wife. His daughter runs from a horde of undead towards their room. She is knocked down and attacked, and later loses consciousness. Her father rescues her from the horde of zombies, who then break down the door to their hotel room. He desperately tries to protect his family using an axe, but unfortunately fails, as his own daughter turns into an undead and attacks him. He is then forced to throw his daughter out the window and is then killed by the zombies with his wife.
- As pointed out in the IGN trailer breakdown the mother is not wearing a wedding ring though the father is. It is most likely just a design oversight.
- Instead of going down the hallway from the player's room that leads to the progression of the game, double back to the end of the hallway to the room at the very end to find both the Mother and Father dead on the floor.

I have been trying different steeping parameters with my favourite earl greys and have found that steeping at 4 minutes or less really cuts the bitterness.
Then I remembered that I had some of this tea left and thought hey I should give this another try. Boy, now this tea is just a delight. Slightly sweet and not so much creamy as a smooth quality I found. I really like vanilla.
So watch out, this tea can be very bitter. But if you steep properly, you are in for a treat.

What To Say?
I first read the news about an hour after Jerry Falwell was declared dead. As a member of one of his favorite target groups, I can't say I'll miss the man. His friends and family may have nothing but fond memories, but to me he's someone who got rich and fat by spreading lies and fomenting hate - particularly towards my people. And of course, the cynic in me can't help but notice that he didn't exactly follow Jesus's advice to give up all his worldly possessions. There's big money in scaring folks to God, after all.
That said, I won't exactly be dancing on his grave, either. His passing doesn't really do anything to undermine the legacy he's left behind. The Religious Wrong is a much stronger force in this country's politics because of the groundwork he lay, and it's learned to be much more insidious than it was back in the Moral Majority days. If you don't believe me, just watch how much the Bible gets thumped - by both sides - in the next year and a half of presidential campaigning.
One of the best stories I think I've ever heard, though, indirectly involves Falwell. My friend Chip grew up in Rev. Falwell's church, so he got to hear regularly about all the sodomites in San Francisco. He tells the story best, since it is his story, but in his late teens he had to take a cross-country bus trip to the west coast and surreptitiously figured out how he could route his trip so he'd have a layover of several hours in San Francisco. His parents, of course, were mortified.
Anyway, this nubile young fella from Virginia made it to Sodom and was very quickly approached by a young man in the bus station who began chatting him up and ended up inviting Chip back to his hotel room. Chip, of course, was very nervous and very excited, expecting that he'd finally get laid. When they got back to the guy's hotel, though, it turned out he was just a Moonie looking for converts.
Almost as good is Chip's story of the time his parents finally met his partner Stan, who is African-American. Again, he tells it best but it took place at a Cracker Barrel in northern Virginia in the early 1990's. Let's just say that Stan was a show-stopper.

I niether rejoice or mourn his passing. Granted it is one less thorn to deal with, but, as you'd stated, there remains his legacy to contend with.
btw, the cartoon had me chuckling for quite a spell. Thanks for posting it too. - 16/5/07 11:13 AM

Chip SO needs a blog to share those stories.
Also b/c my brother (who now goes by 'Charles') was Chip for my entire growing up life. There aren't many and I'd probably read his blog just for that reason LOL. - 16/5/07 12:19 PM

I think that the Reverend did as much to promote the causes of the free-thinking left as he did for the extreme and scary right. Maybe more. He had a very "unique" way of putting things...so much so that he made his own causes seem rather ridiculous.
- Sean said...
All I have to say about that bigot kicking the bucket is "good riddance." Wonder if he's suprised at how hot "heaven" is...
- Marilyn said...
I can only hope that when Jerry reaches his ethereal reward, his eternal entertainment will consist of Sam Kinison shrieking at him and Freddy Mercury introducing him to every single person who died of AIDS. And possibly introducing him to other activities.
You are right--the death of Falwell does not signal the potential weakening of the Religious Wrong. Their numbers are legion. - 18/5/07 10:54 AM

Wintry activities still on tap around NCW
Conconully Outhouse Races: Saturday, a 30-year annual tradition of head-to-head competition, as wooden outhouses mounted on skis race down the town's main street.

I snapped a few shots Saturday of the beam action happening at 263 Bowery, just south of Houston. I must have just missed BoweryBoogie, who was there too. BB has more on what's happening here... and the progress thus far on the seven-story mystery project...
