For easy findage ^__^
A reading of Sonnet 18. Just a stock reading, maybe someone will have a use for it ^__^
Inspired by tori's recent video. I think Shakespeare is an untapped goldmine for HR.
Stock voice over. Thought it might be useful for someone someday ^_^
An audio recording of something I am looking to work on. A bit weird, but kinda weirdly angelic. tonguecutsparrow's music rocks my socks, and this provided the perfect soundscape.
Looking to expand this into visuals soon.
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we lov'd? Were we not wean'd till then?
But suck'd on countrey pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the seaven sleepers den?
T'was so; But this, all pleasures fancies bee.
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desir'd, and got, 'twas but a dreame of thee.
And now good morrow to our waking soules,
Which watch not one another out of feare;
For love, all love of other sights controules,
And makes one little roome, an every where.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let Maps to other, worlds on worlds have showne,
Let us possesse one world; each hath one, and is one.
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appeares,
And true plaine hearts doe in the faces rest,
Where can we finde two better hemispheares
Without sharpe North, without declining West?
What ever dyes, was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.
I hope this is OK! Let me know if you want anything changed ^__^
A reading of the wonderful poem by the equally wonderful Miss Meta!
I want to be on Jackanory!
Hope it is of use! If you want anything changed, let me know!
I hope pronounciation is alright! <3
I thought it might be quite nice to have a stock reading of the text of Nebulullaby . Just to have! ^__^
A recording of Ziver10's favourite sonnet! Hope it is OK <3
Hooray for shadowlets! <3
Cosmic dust <3
The wonderful words of Metaphorest with the wonderful music of tonguecutsparrow
A reading of Pen's lovely writings <3
Sorry I know I seem to record every second thing that Metaphorest brings out....but it is all so wonderful!! <3
I gave it a go!! <3
For Salpy (IslandProphet)! I hope this is soothing and does credit to your beautiful words! <3
Dedicated to Ally Alpal, who inspired and encouraged me to give this a shot. Don't think anything can beat her reading though.
I played a lot of Lisa Gerrard while recording this <3
I'm working on a video for Tom's poem...this may or may not be the VO used. It's a bit stereotypically Spanish. The flamenco...the guitar...the fact that it's in Spanish.
Anyways, thought it might end up being useful for someone else!
PD music from musopen.org
For Jordyn. Because this poem is so moving. She is fantabulously talented <3
5 takes!
The wonderful kristannuccia revised the italian text for wirrow's "and a new earth", so I had to give it another go!
I am sleepy...so this ended up having a more lullaby-y feel to it. I think.
Oh well, this is just me geeking out and playing around! ^__^
PS: Grazie MILLE kristannuccia! <3
I'm not a native French speaker, but I couldn't resist giving this a go!
I changed hevn/urth to "ciel/terre", cos I was really struggling with the pronunciation of the english words whilst trying to speak french! >.<
Apologies for any messups with accent!
PS: Interesting thought: most of the drawings have been drawning hevn as the more "feminine" character and urth as the more "male"...but in french (and other romance languages), "ciel" is masculine gender, and "terre" is feminine.
Just an observation!! ^_^
Wanted to put a darker spin on some of the shadow writings, so I took @@'s Shadow Caste poem and set it to some seriously warped wirrow music. and added LOADS OF ECHO.
Wonderful wonderful words!! <3
"a new hevn" translated into Italian by kristannuccia and I. Lots of fun! Thank you to anna who has been so helpful in turning my very shaky initial into something wonderful.
apologies for the mistakes in accent/pronunciation!
Mp3 is slightly warped, don't know why: i will upload a zipwav file in case anyone wants to download and play :)
A few takes! <3
Love this piece by mushr! <3
...because nothing's more romantic than a sandwich.
[Apologies for any erreurs in mon francais]
Something I wrote a couple of days ago and felt like recording. Was encourage by Julia [RedHeadMonster] to put it up on here. So...feel free to play! Music by the lovely tonguecutsparrow.
May add more to this at some point!
Dans mes rêves, je peux penser comme ça . Je peux imaginer que je prends ta main, et en embrassant tes doigts, nous nous allongeons sur la terre et sous le ciel.
Et nous sentons le monde qui s'allonge sur nous deux, comme un grand sandwich universel.
C'est ça que nous sommes.
La garniture de ce sandwich, fait de la poussière d'etoile, du vent et des larmes.
C'est ça que nous sommes."
"In my dreams, I can think like that. I can imagine that I take your hand, and whilst kissing your fingers we lie down on the earth and under the sky.
And we can feel the world lying down on us, like some big universal sandwich.
That's it.
That's what we are.
The filling of this sandwich: made of stardust, wind and tears.
That's what we are."
A reading of the latest version of Ginella and Danah's "a new hevn" translation..I hope it's OK!
Vive L'HitRECord Francais!
Don't know whether it is still needed, but hurrrr ya go!
This just came out all comedy with the sound effects!! ^__^
I played this back to check it in my iTunes...what was the next song that came on??
Couldn't have been more perfect.
Gramatically tweaked new version here: http://hitrecord.org/records/405089
Tried something a little different, hope I didn't make too many mistakes:
"Bonjour je suis Pamagotchi
Je voudrais faire une requete pour la chanson magnifique de Metaphorest, le Petit Soldat.
Une chanson qui montre que dans l'art, les barrières de la langue n'existent pas."
"Hello, it's Pamagotchi,
I would like to request Metaphorest's fantastic song Le Petit Soldat. A song that shows that, in art, there is no such thing as a language barrier."
A more gramatically correct version of the previous French request!
I had to...!
"Ciao Giuseppe, sono Pamagotchi...vorrei ascoltare la bellissima canzone di TongueCutSparrow, 'The Universe is Us", una canzone che veramente mi fa sognare con gli occhi aperti"
"Hi Joe, it's Pamagotchi..I would like to here TongueCutSparrow's beautiful song "The Universe is Us", a song that truly makes me dream with my eyes open/daydream"
Autumn Thoughts and Parting Song, in my mind, were made for each other. Just wanted to see what would happen ^__^
An idea I had at work today...maybe we could persuade Miss Destiny to do a reading or something similar herself?!
"Merry earth-spin RegularJoe, this is everyone's favoured personette Destiny on the talkline. I would like to petition the sounding of "Arrange Room For Me In Your Dead Bed" by Metaphorest and LizzieMackie a most tantalising of ear-treats!"
PS: she means "Make Space For Me In Your Coffin"
Muchly obliged!
Some late night rambiings that I recorded out of nowhere!
Absolutely no logic, order or structure.
"Cinema" definition taken from the Oxford English Dictionary
The language of stories, you see, is not words..but feelings.
[I recorded this on a whim and have the "lyrics" written down..but I am interested to see what people "think" they heard in this..or what feelings they got from it! will upload the words later :)]
I can upload the stems of this if anyone would like...I just really fell in love with Ozie's Strawberry Laces music ^__^
A petit reading ^__^
For Phen <3
I've wanted to read this ever since Amy first released it and now felt like the right time. Sorry if it's a little sentimental <3
Some V.o's for Malicore!
Languages Galore! Sorry if I made any mistakes ^__^
For Sabine! <3
A couple of takes for Matt!
The last one is just the 3rd one without the campy sound effects..and the others...well, I don't know where the others came from! ^__^
Had another stab at the voiceover for the intro.
The first section is lots of whispering of the script with a main, louder reading.
I then uploaded the stems [main reading voice and whispers] separately incase anyone wants one without the other ^__^
I recorded this over the course of 2 weeks, so consistency is definitely lacking. But in the end I also thought it might provide a "kaleidoscope" of Billy, which, if there was particular interest in a particular interpretation, could allow for rerecording.
My accent gets pretty jazzy in places as well.
Loved Kyleparker's "Wires" piece..wanted to do a V/O...listened to PASIV's "alive" whilst I did it and then thought to include it in the finished piece... I can upload a version without the music for remixing! <3
For sabine!
I hope i got all the lines this time :D
Hope it's not too late! There is a tiny bit of reverb on this, but i can get rid of it if necessary ^__^
For Lis <3 let me know if you need more/different takes!
Change of plan
I know VOs are coming after the video is more or less set, but I thought these might be useful in figuring out timings and things
For Mrs Pine x
A quick idea pieced together on the spur of the moment...
Sel's "Cinnamon" has to be my favourite piece of writing on the website. It works both as a song and as a spoken piece, and I thought it might be interesting to mix it together with The Automator mix..
It's an idea, and I know the mix isn't quiiite right..but maybe someone can build on this?
When I played it to thesherbethead he said it would sound better if Morgan Freeman or Dennis Hopper read it..so if anyone wants to step up to the plate, feel free! This is more to get people thinking about a possible remix option..
Mattsoar's reading really gave colour to this piece and I got inspired!
Decided to try and continue the accents that Matt started using...I like the combination of that accent and the language.
Having done this, maybe it would sound better with 2 guys? But I've done it now, so I'm putting it out there..!
23rd April is often considered as Shakespeare's birthday..so here are some readings of two of my favourite sonnets!
I was inspired to write this poem during a rainy stroll this afternoon, so I added in some of the sounds that I heard while I was walking and the words were coming into my head. Listen with headphones, it's kinda like a soundscape.
*Sounds best with headphones*
Wanted to create some otherwordly/dystopian voiceover and try and reflect the mythological/modern world clash in symbiote's text.
Put some distortion on the voiceover, and added a remix I did of thesherbethead's "Boardsy", which uses the words from the Seiklos song, one of the oldest songs in the world, which talks about life and death. Thought that tied in pretty well!
No effects. I hope I read the right bits
The Scottish accent just kinda happened and I thought it fitted pretty well
Thought I would give this a go! Hoping to do a couple more takes of this, try and get the quality as good as possible
A set of takes on the intro script; also incorporated some SAT-NAV into a couple of the readings! Please use WAV file resourced for remixing!
00:05 Take 1 (Script Version 1)
00:22 Take 2 (Script Version 2)
00:39 Take 3 (SAT-NAV version)
01:10 Take 4 (SAT-NAV sayings only)
01:30 Take 5 (Script Version 1)
01:49 Take 6 (Script Version 2)
A reading x
Magic words from Jules <3
It won't let me resource this original which is here! http://www.hitrecord.org/records/227836

Spaghettini also welcomes back 'The Wave'; 'Psycho Mike' finalist on 'Regis & Kelly.'
By GARY LYCAN RADIO FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Cary Hardwick may be local radio's new Pied Piper. Fans flocked to his Spaghettini Grill and Lounge in Seal Beach when he brought in on a Friday afternoon KLAC/570 AM's Matt "Money" Smith and Petros Papadakis for a remote broadcast, a Saturday night concert hosted by KTWV/94.7 FM's Bill Dudley, and to wrap up the weekend, a Sunday Brunch with Dudley, the women of "The Wave" 'and a Sunday evening dinner sponsored by KOST/ 103.5 FM.
From start to finish, the restaurant was jammed with people who came from everywhere. One couple, said Hardwick, flew in from Phoenix just for the Sunday brunch, and would return to Arizona later that same day. Friday's high-energy, fast-moving sports remote with "Petros and Money" got louder and rowdy (in a good way) to the delight of people who were getting off work and were lining up to get inside. At one point, more than 700 listeners brought a gift for the KLAC's show "Crappy Holiday Gift Shop."
Credit goes to Hardwick and business partner Laurie Sisneros for cooking up a savvy marketing strategy that the radio stations used to maximum advantage. The Sunday Brunch was a sellout before it had barely started.
First, "Petros and Money." Petros Papadakis is young, funny, hip, irascible, fast-talking and a "take charge" kind of guy. Matt "Money" Smith is the perfect dude counterpart, full of facts, figures and counterpunch comments at just the right moments. The crowd ate it up, as well as the appetizers and drinks. Want to see for yourself? Check out www.am570radio.com where a video is posted.
Who says nobody listens to sports radio? This was entertainment at its best, and when guests come in such as Tommy Lasorda and Bobby Valentine, it's an added bonus. Lasorda, by the way, stayed until nearly 10 p.m. so fans coming from as far as San Diego could still sit and chat with him. Score a home run for superior "customer service" by KLAC. I'll profile Petros and Money in a later column.
The next night, Saturday, KTWV's Dudley-hosted concert featured Alan Parsons, David Pack, guitarist Larry Carlton, keyboardist Brian Culbertson, and members of Toto, Kansas, and Pablo Cruise. Dudley barely had time for a quick nap before the Sunday Brunch rolled around and he was back on the air in another sellout event at the restaurant.
More than 400 people came for the brunch, and the "Women of the Wave" turned out to greet them – Keri Tombazian, Kim Amidon, Deborah Howell and Talaya Trigueros. The surprise guest was sax great Dave Koz, who performed and then stayed to eat and greet.
Spaghettini capped off the three-day marathon with "Klaudia with a K" from KOST-FM hosting the Sunday dinner. Hardwick e-mailed, "I love radio in Southern California. Everyone still listens, because we all drive here, and radio is still KING. I know there are many options out there (satellite, digital, etc.), but Southern California has great programming and is in the heart of the entertainment industry.
"The diversity in listeners that each radio station covers is a prime example of knowing your audience and how to market to those individual interests. Spaghettini is able to really capitalize on each of these radio stations because of our central location, three freeways merging at our off-ramp and we do our best to spoil their listeners. Hopefully gaining some regular customers in the process. We had in excess of 2,200 people come through our doors in those three days."
KKGO/105.1 FM "Go Country" will roll out a radio station food truck called the "Chuck Wagon" on the Monday (Jan. 24) KTLA/5 Morning News. The country group Steel Magnolia will perform as part of the first official "sandwich naming."
"While this is a marketing vehicle – pun intended - for Go Country 105, we're committed to a top quality food truck experience for our fans," said Creative Director P.J. Ochlan. The food partner is B Sweet Catering. Its corporate clients include ING Direct, Nike, and Disney.
The menu will feature a rotating daily selection of Southern, country and Tex-Mex specialties including the "Boot Scootin' Boogie" BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Shrimp Po' Boys, Chili with fresh-baked cornbread and salads. Regular fans will also be able to pre-order and create their own sandwiches. More info: www.GoCountry105.com/chuckwagon.
Debbie Reynolds delighted fans at her KSBR/88.5 FM appearance Jan. 15 with Gary Bergeson and Kelly Bennett to promote her weekend appearance (Jan. 22) at The Coach House. She looked fabulous, sang a few notes from "Tammy," and answered dozens of questions as her daughter's dog nestled in her lap. Offered a waffle (it was a morning appearance), she nicely replied, "Oh, I've already had my Cream of Wheat." Must be a beauty secret there for someone to pick up on.
Last Sunday, she also was on KSWD/100.3 FM's "My Turn" to play her favorite songs. They included Sarah Vaughn – "Little Girl Blue," Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" and "Just in Time," Hoagy Carmichael's "There Was A Boy," Judy Garland's "The Man That Got Away," Barbra Streisand's "Memories," Fats Waller's "The Joint Is Jumpin'," Ella Fitzgerald's "A Tisket, A Tasket," Bobby Darin's "Mack The Knife," Tony Bennett's "The Best Is Yet To Come," Diana Krall's "From This Moment On," Keely Smith's "Autumn Leaves," and Lena Horne's "Life Goes On."
"Psycho Mike" Calderwood is one of the five finalists in the ABC/7's "Live With Regis and Kelly" "Men of Radio Co-Host for a Day Search" competition. He hosts "Loveline" with Dr. Drew Pinsky 10 p.m.-midnight Sunday and midnight-2 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and also is on the Kevin and Bean morning show.
The finalists also include jocks from Chicago, Ottawa, Austin (Texas), and Seattle. Each finalist is to host one day beginning Monday (Jan. 24).

Lawmakers Seek Probe on Banks' New Debit Card Fees
Plans from Bank of America and others to charge users monthly have sparked public outrage
Marcy Gordon AP Business Writer
October 13, 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic lawmakers are asking the Justice Department to investigate whether Bank of America and other major banks improperly worked together to charge customers new monthly fees for using their debit cards.Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., and four other Democrats said Thursday that they've asked Attorney General Eric Holder to see if big banks violated antitrust laws before announcing the fees.
Welch said the lawmakers have no evidence of collusion. But he said the timing of the fees merits an investigation.
"You don't have a competitive marketplace," Welch said at a news conference.
Bank of America said last month that it would charge its customers $5 a month if they use their debit cards for purchases. Customers who use their cards only at ATMs will not have to pay the fee.
Chase and Wells Fargo are also testing $3 monthly debit-card fees in select markets.
The fees have sparked public outrage and helped fuel anti-Wall Street protests. Many have criticized the banks for charging to use debit cards after those same banks received hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded bailouts. Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo were among the recipients of rescue funds.
Bank of America, the nation's largest bank, said the monthly charge was necessary because the Federal Reserve this year capped the fees that it can charge merchants for swiping debit cards. Congress directed the Fed cap swipe fees under the financial overhaul law.
On Thursday, representatives for Bank of America and Chase declined to comment on the lawmakers' request for a probe. A representative for Wells Fargo wasn't immediately available for comment.
Also requesting the investigation were Democratic Reps. John Conyers of Michigan, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Mike Honda of California and Raul Grijalva of Arizona.
The lawmakers said statements made by some banks and their trade associations raise questions about possible coordination.
In a letter to Holder, the lawmakers cite an e-mail by the Texas Bankers Association to its members. The e-mail was sent after legislation failed that would have delayed the cap on swipe fees.
The e-mail said: "Now the industry must regroup and each and every one of you must decide how you are going to pay for the use of debit cards. It may be through a monthly fee."
The Merchants Payments Coalition, an organization of trade groups for a variety of retailers, supported the lawmakers' move.
Bank of America will start charging the fee early next year. Chase and Wells Fargo haven't said when they will make a final decision on whether to roll out the debit-card fee more broadly.

Every November, our family and friends gather at our home for our annual "Oyster Party". My sons and some of their friends shuck between 300 and 400 oysters throughout the day and I prep, bake and serve them to our guests. Forks are spread out over the platter and everyone just starts grabbing the baked oysters off the tray. The most important part of this recipe is the Hollandaise Sauce that is put on the top of the Rockefeller—this just makes it taste better than any others out there.Deb Holt, Baltimore, Maryland

"man driving a tiny car" - it's a Rytecraft Scootacar.

If your baby needs extra care, you can take comfort in knowing that Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas has a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) offering specialized care and advanced technology in an intensive care setting.
NICU and Special Care Nursery at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas

NFL Has No Scheduling Plan For Shortened Season
After we wrote about the NFL planning for an eight-game season, someone asked me if I knew how the league would handle the schedule.
If the labor dispute costs the NFL any amount of games, the league will have to adjust the schedule in some fashion. The most obvious potential solution is to simply keep the schedule as it is, play the games when they're currently scheduled, and don't play the games that were missed.
Of course, if eight games are lost, that leads to a couple problems. Certain teams could be playing divisional opponents more times than others. For example, the Green Bay Packers only see two divisional opponents in the season's first eight weeks, while the [intlink id="13" type="category"]Chicago Bears[/intlink] have three.
As you probably know, these games have ramifications for both division standings and the playoffs.
Then there's the question of how to handle bye weeks, particularly with teams whose byes have passed vs. teams whose byes remain on the schedule. Bye weeks currently begin in week 5 and run through week 11, with a break in week 10.
It's a situation rife with complications and the NFL doesn't have the answers yet.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello pointed me toward a quote colleague Brian McCarthy made in April, when the schedule was initially announced.
"If and when it becomes clear that we cannot play the schedule as it was announced," he said, "we will make the appropriate adjustments with an eye toward minimizing changes."
Perhaps it's a good sign the NFL hasn't addressed the situation yet.

Hours at work: a new base for BLS productivity statistics
Mary Jablonski, Kent Kunze, and Phyllis Flohr Otto
In August 1989, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing productivity statistics and for major sectors of the U.S. economy that are based on a new measure of labor input: hours at work. Previous productivity statistics were based primarily on hours paid, which come from employer payroll records. The switch to hours at work was accomplished with data from one of the newer BLS surveys, the Hours at Work Survey.1
This article reports on the conversion to hours at work and the resulting effects on productivity statistics. It describes the Hours at Work Survey, which yields ratios of hours at work to hours paid, and presents results from the survey. The historical series of ratios constructed for the period prior to the Hours at Work Survey are discussed. The article concludes with a brief description of how the ratios of hours at work to hours paid are used to produce the new hours measures.
Conversion to hours at work
On August 3, 1989, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began using hours at work in its productivity and cost measures for the major sectors: business, nonfarm business, manufacturing, and nonfinancial corporations. All of the measures for these sectors that involve hours were altered, including output per hour and compensation per hour. The measures are published eight times a year in a Department of Labor news release, "Productivity and Costs," and also appear in Bureau of Labor Statistics publications, such as the Monthly Labor Review and Employment and Earnings.2
In the previous measures, hours of all persons consisted of hours paid of employees in the private nonfarm business sector and hours worked of self-employed persons, unpaid family workers, employees of government enterprises, and, in the business-sector measures, farm employees. Hours paid are based on information from the Current Employment Statistics program (also known as the establishment survey), which collects data from firms' payroll records each month. Hours paid of employees accounted for about 85 percent of total hours in the old business-sector hours measure. Hours worked of self-employed persons, unpaid family workers, employees of government enterprises, and farm employees are from the Current Population Survey, a monthly household survey.3
In the new measures, the hours paid of employees in private nonfarm business are replaced by a measure of their hours at work that was developed with the results of the Hours at Work Survey. Because the measure of hours at work excludes paid leave, which is composed of hours that are not devoted to the production process, it is preferred to hours paid as a measure of labor input for productivity statistics.4

1 The Hours at Work Survey was first
presented in Kent Kunze, "A new BLS survey measures the ratio of hours worked to
hours paid," Monthly Labor Review, June 1984, pp. 3-7; in a subsequent
research summary, "Hours at work increase relative to hours paid," Monthly
Labor Review, June 1985, pp. 44-46, Kunze updated the survey results.
2 Table C-9 in Employment and Earnings continues to show hours paid of employees. This table is prepared by the Bureau's Office of Productivity and Technology, as are the productivity and cost measures.
3 The establishment survey does not cover the farm sector or self-employed and unpaid family workers, so hours worked for those individuals are taken from the Current Population Survey. This survey requests the hours worked in the survey week of each employed person in the household. Because it is a much smaller survey, and because respondents often provide information on household members other than themselves, the Current Population Survey is
4 If hours paid and hours at work grow at the same rate, then for the measurement of productivity growth, it does not matter which measure of hours is used. However, if there is a divergence in the rates of growth over time, using hours paid rather than hours at work will yield an incorrect productivity growth rate.

Rethinking Business Regulation: from Self-Regulation to Social Control, Peter Utting, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development, September 2005, 29 pp.
In this brief but dense publication, Utting takes a critical look at the potential and limitations of voluntary approaches to business regulation. Rather than dismissing all forms of voluntary regulation as "simply part of a broader trend of 'deregulation' promoted by neoliberalism," Utting views them as "part of a more complex process of 're-regulation'...."
The author points to the development of multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) as an example of a "ratcheting-up of standards and a slight hardening of the soft volunteerism that characterized the early experiences of CSR, which centred on corporate self-regulation."
He notes that some non-governmental regulatory schemes "are conducive to democratic governance by engaging a broader range of actors or stakeholders in consultative and decision-making processes...[and] have also contributed to harmonizing standards and implementation procedures, and to imposing some order on what was becoming a confusing array of codes of conduct."
At the same time, MSIs have a "very mixed scorecard," says Utting. Since they only involve "a small fraction of the world's 61,000 TNCs, nearly one million affiliates and several million suppliers," their procedures to encourage compliance remain weak, and some tend to be "fairly exclusionary, top-down and technocratic." He also notes that some CSR schemes "have not seriously addressed the question of what impact CSR is having on developing countries and the possible tensions and contradictions between CSR and development."
Utting also points to the structural constraints that restrict the scope and effectiveness of CSR, noting, "The pressures on companies to priorize 'business-as-usual' practices and shareholder interests are intense, and they are institutionalized in legal and incentive structures, as well as in corporate or management culture."
As Utting notes, "the major substantive weakness of the CSR agenda seems to reside in the fact that it is swimming against a strong current of neoliberal reform that promotes forms of deregulation and flexibilization - or disembedding - that often have the effect of lowering standards." According to Utting, "the key challenge confronting the CSR agenda appears to be its relationship with neoliberalism."
However, according to Utting, the "ratcheting up" and "gradual hardening" of voluntary initiatives has recently entered a new phase encapsulated in the term "corporate accountability," which emphasizes "not only more effective codes of conduct monitoring, reporting and certification systems, but also recourse to public policy and law."
Utting argues that we need to "look beyond the voluntary versus binding, soft versus hard dichotomy" that frames much of the current debate on corporate social responsibility and accountability. It would be more fruitful, he suggests, to focus more on the "complementarity between different non-governmental regulatory systems; the interface between confrontational and collaborationist forms of civil society activism; and the linkages between voluntary and legalistic approaches or public policy."
The author concludes, "[O]ne of [the CSR movement's] main challenges is political, namely how to mobilize the social and political forces, and build the broad-based coalitions and networks required to promote progressive institutional change."
According to Utting, this will require "confronting the difficult question of alliances and compromises involving business interests, and exploring more systematically the potential for the types of complementary, synergistic and pluralistic approaches to regulation outlined above."

Brendan Strejcek wrote In Praise of Modules and argued that there are a number of positive aspects to modules.
On his Google+ post linking to the blog post, I left a comment that I've copied and edited somewhat.
Lately I find that modules take too damn long to read. Perhaps I'm spoilt by the One Page Dungeon Contest I've been trying to keep my own adventure notes very short, and when I wrote the Caverns of Slime for the upcoming issue of Fight On! I tried hard to keep things short.
When I ran the Paizo modules, the two or three I ran went just fine, but I always felt slightly confused. I was already stretched thin. When I ran the Paizo adventure paths, it was worse. I discovered that I didn't really want to read the modules. It was too much, it took too long, it wasn't the kind of reading I enjoy. When I ran the Goodman Games Dungeon Crawl Classics for D&D 3.5, I also felt that they would have been great if they had been half as long. The two hard-cover collections of short adventures in the same line, on the other hand, seem perfect!
When modules are too long, I like to jokingly say that I could have written my own in the time it takes me to read it. That's not true, obviously. Raggi's argument is a valid one: to run adventures somebody else created is a challenge, a refreshing change of pace, maybe a learning experience. Lately, however, I've come to think that I don't like it enough to spend money on modules. I didn't invest in the Lamentations of the Flame Princess drive, for example, even though many of the authors caught my attention and many of the adventure blurbs seemed right up my alley.
Do you find your money is well spent when buying adventures? Perhaps my problem is that I didn't read reviews before buying adventures. I was subscribed to the Paizo modules and the adventure paths both, and when there was a big sale of Dungeon Crawl Classic modules for D&D 3.5 I bought as many as I could get my hands on.
Do you feel the same tension? Some aspects you like – the enthusiasm, the ideas, the art, the change of pace – and some aspects you don't like – spending money, investing the time, negative surprises.
How do you decide which modules to buy?

Extended Battery Kit for the Samsung Galaxy S III to launch in Germany on January 5th
Starting January 5th, the Samsung Galaxy S III Extended Battery Kit will be available through Amazon Germany |
So how much thicker will your Samsung Galaxy S III be after you install the extended cell? Check out the video below. At around the 1:05 mark you will see the extended battery and the battery cover. The size difference is not that bad, as you can see. The video, which is in Slovak, also shows the size difference between a 4500mAh cell and the 3000mAh one that comes with the Extended Battery Kit.
With appearances in the U.K. and now in Germany, it looks like the extended battery for the Samsung Galaxy S III is slowly making its way around Europe before possibly ending up in the U.S.

Surely that would make it heavier than the Lumia 920, which I find ironic considering reviewers criticized it for being too bulky.

This is not Slovenian... It's from Slovakia... so, it's Slovakian, or Czech.

So you have finally made the decision to bring home a new addition to your family? Before bringing home your first German Shepherd puppy there are many things that you need to think about and plan for. Getting a dog can be such a rewarding experience but it is important to realize that it also comes with years of responsibility. Make sure that you are ready for years of daily care, exercise, vet visits and the ability to give unconditional love to this animal.
Bringing home a new puppy can be both an exciting and new situation, remember that a lot is going to change. It is important to make sure that everyone in your family is completely comfortable with the idea of bringing in a new puppy to your home. Create rules for yourself and your family on how to care for your German Shepherd puppy. Also you will need to prepare your house and yard so that they are set up as a safe environment. Gradually begin purchasing supplies that you will need for your puppy, such as food, and a crate prior to the day you plan on bringing it home. Be sure to find a crate that is suitable for your puppy's growth as it will spend a lot of time in the crate during the crate training process. It is always good to have everything set up before the arrival of your puppy, to ensure that it has what it needs. Please remember that this puppy will be leaving its mother and everyday environment and entering into a strange one, which could make it very stressful for them. The more prepared you are and the more structured of a transition you create, will make it that much easier for your German Shepherd puppy to adapt to its new home.

6/03/2012 – Patricia A. Hawkenson's Reflections – Dandelions
Summer offers
her warming light
so playful children
can butter their chins.
Finally going to seed
it takes only a puff of air
to tear them limb from limb
and send them flying.
Each little fluff
flies to a tender place
that welcomes it
and lets it grow.
And dandelions, too,
want nothing more
than the wind to lift them
and carry them home.

Truth time. I had a moment the other day while leisurely spending an hour or so in front of the bathroom mirror analyzing the state of things. Pores, lines, irritations, split ends, etc. I found something deeply disturbing and I am sharing it with you now, dear readers, because the goal of this blog is to be honest. Three sad little hairs poked out at the crown among the deeper browns, the ash browns, and the few precious golden strands. They were not brown or blond or even amber… they were silver. A color I love so dearly in any other context, now rendered gut-wrenching, shocking, and tragic. Taken over by vanity and impulsiveness, I reached for my tweezer and took care of the situation instantly, at least for now. The most troubling thing is not that I found a few gray hairs. I am 26 and it could be a lot worse. But what really gets me is my golden rule about hair accessories, and I'm concerned I might have to rethink it, or sadly start to follow it.

Headwear is an essential part of my wardrobe. It's the accessory I love more than anything. Belts are great but leave me frustrated and uncomfortable by day's end, and look simply awkard if loosened. Bags are wonderful but don't remain a part of the outfit once you've sat down at the desk or the dinner table. Shoes are sexy but seasonal and (sometimes) painful after a while. But the headband, the glorious headband, is the perfect accessory to polish off any look. It can hide day-old hair, masque roots, and elevate any outfit to a new level. I have so many and am always acquiring more. Just last weekend in Utah I picked up a fabulous one with a huge rabbit fur bow on it. As someone who doesn't typically sway toward the avant garde in clothing items, I like using headwear to make a statement, without having to reach too far outside of my comfort zone. What's the problem, then?
With Pookie at a casual engagement party last summer… this is a favorite of mine in mint green glass beads. Etsy.com |
About a year ago I saw a woman on the subway who was starting to turn gray. Her outfit was chic but she wore a headband–complete with a large side bow–and with those gray streaks poking through, the look was just off. Something about it made me sort of sad. It was an attempt at a youthful look, I think, and it just was not working. I vowed then and there that if ever (!) my hair should turn in that direction, I would ditch the headbands. But I never imagined I would find myself at the crossroads so early in my fashion journey. Three measly strands is nothing to head to the colorist over, right? But if I reach the point where I need to start coloring to cover, what of it then? In short, I am bringing out the headgear in full effect while I still can. Sprinkled throughout this post are some of my favorites from my own collection. And some you need to get to the store and purchase ASAP.
Sometimes the simple addition of a satin ribbon as headband is perfect |

Brunny Island Cheese Co. C2
Many passport pages and cheese experiences led Nick Haddow to tiny wee Bruny Island in the mighty state of tasmania. A fleet, yes a fleet, of stunning cheeses are now produced by Bruny Island Cheese Co. One of them happens to be the TREMENDOUS C2.
Named after the tank it was conceived in , C2 is a raw milk, alpine cheese that deserves your full attaention. Firm texture with spots of calcites and a complexity so mad and left field that if your wife left you I just don't think that you would notice. Fact, mine left me and two other men and still couldn't care less.

The age of making mixtapes – that is using cassette tapes instead of digital files – seems to be dying. But there's one punk enthusiast out there, with a burly beard and a shard of glass implanted in his forehead, who would like to show you why it's still important. So, on this week's episode of The Wedge, Damian makes a mixtape right before your eyes.
Also on the show are new videos from Tame Impala, Doldrums, Young Rival, Carrie Wilds and a throwback that is one of Damian's go-to songs for making mixtapes.
The Wedge airs every Wednesday at 11:30 PM EST. Follow us on Twitter at @MUCHTheWedge.
