Josh Safran is the new showrunner for NBC's behind-the-scenes Broadway drama "Smash." (Patrick Randak/NBC) |
Safran: I'm a fan and I went to Tisch and majored in playwriting, but then I got an agent while I was still in college and I started writing movies. But I wanted to be a playwright growing up — that was my goal — and I was taught by amazing playwright like John Guare and other great people. And I dated an actor who was one of the original leads in "Rent" for six years so I was around for that whole process when it first started. I think on this show, for sure, it's good to have at least some passion for it. It's not like I was this big hound when I was working on "Gossip Girl." I grew up on the Upper East Side, and I went to a private school, so I had that experience and it helped me there. I love theater so much. I've seen Megan perform, I've seen Christian perform. I know ["Smash" song composers] Scott Wittman and Marc Shaimanare musicals very well. More than my first kiss or the time I broke my wrist, I remember my first musical, which was "The Pirates of Penzance" with Linda Ronstadt and Kevin Kline. I missed it because I had mono and then my whole family went without me and I was really mad and then my mother found a way to take me a month later.
Talk about the differences of running a show like "Gossip Girl" and running a show like "Smash."
Safran: It's funny, it all happened so fast so nothing could really be jarring. I think only now am I really processing it all. I think the biggest difference is that "Smash" has many different things in production at one time. Whereas with "Gossip Girl," it was just the episode you were working on and the next episode coming up. But "Smash" has all the music, it has to be choreographed, costumes have to be designed — and that's just one pocket. Then there's building musicals with plots to them that are not just an episode-by-episode basis — you have to actually know the entire plot 'cause it's not told in a linear way all the time. All of the pieces on "Smash" … there's just definitely more of them than there were on "Gossip Girl." But in a weird way, "Gossip Girl" was a very heightened situation because we did 24 or 25 episodes a year, and it's a lot of information so that marathon sort of taught me the marathon aspect of what to expect. There are times where, because everything is such a puzzle, if one piece — if a song comes in a day late or an actor gets sick — it's not just the shooting that gets pushed back, it's all the rehearsing, all the recording that gets pushed back. It's an amazing system.
Let's talk about the music a little more. The way it was incorporated at times often felt odd when it wasn't related to scenes directly tied to the musical. Was that one of your major concerns in taking it on?
Safran: I had very strongly — well, everyone involved felt this way — that we needed to fix that. None of the music is out of nowhere, at least I hope it doesn't come across that way. When I took the job, on my first day, I took all the writers to a screening room and we got prints of "All that Jazz" and "Carousel" and we also watched "Pennies from Heaven," and the goal was to study these movies who use music in a different way — especially "All That Jazz" and "Pennies From Heaven," where it's more like dream sequences and it's sort of like people's inner emotions, much like "Chicago." Inner emotions being acted. We try to approach all of the covers that way. So whenever there's a cover, it's when a person is feeling it, not when somebody standing up and singing in a bar or at a bowling alley. It's always going to be born from emotions they are feeling that they can't express, which is what the great good musicals do. In regards to the musical numbers within "Bombshell," that will remain the same as the first season approach.
Another area I wanted to tackle was I felt that the characters had burned through their stakes quickly. Julia had an affair and jeopardized her family, Eileen had gotten her divorce — all these things happened, and I just felt an infusion of new stakes were very important. I think, in some ways, "Smash" will play out a little slower. The thing is, when you work on a show from the beginning the pilot takes so many months and then you're told you've been picked up, now "go" and it's like a fire is lit. I had the luxury of time and I knew it was returning midseason and even though we start shooting in July, I still had a little more time to arc out the year with my team.
What do you say to those who are worried how the show will progress under your care? "Gossip Girl" is a different kind of show, and it's one that went wayward story-wise more than a few times.
Safran: I get it. But the goal is everything that people loved about "Smash" last year, we're trying to stay true to that. And stuff that maybe wasn't as strong, we're trying to tweak. I think it remains true to the characters and the world that Theresa created, and I wanted to honor that. It is her playground that I am on. What I'm bringing to it from "Gossip Girl" is sort of plotting that is a little bit more season-long focused. All I can say is watch. I think everyone here made a very strong push to keep the show what it was. I hope people find that it's the show they had wanted to see last year.
The opening number in the Season 2 opener seems very fitting to what's happening behind the scenes. Do you see it as metephorical and symbolic to everything that is going on?
Safran: It's funny, I think it's definitely a commentary on where we're at. ["Smash" song composers] Scott Wittman and Marc Shaimanare brilliant that they saw that as an opporunity. But while it's a comment on moving on, it's also still a part of "Bombshell."
Will NBC's 'Smash' finally be a smash in Act 2?
'Smash' brings the curtain down on several regulars
The homes of 'Smash': interiors that steal the show


text:
Bring textural perfection to your home and let the rustic and weathered shine for a wholesome interior. This trend involves juxtaposing old materials with new, contrasting hard textures with soft, raw and unrefined with pristine. The key is in the mix.
Style Steal
The trick to mastering a weathered, homespun look is to balance out your palette; rustic doesn't have to mean only raw, rough and weathered. It simply refers to creating finishing touches that provide flashes of worn‐out texture and celebrate the handmade.
For example, a clever combination of reclaimed and industrial pieces, with a mix of vintage and modern accessories will create a look that is reassuring and inviting.
With careful consideration and attention to detail, you will find that mixing key antiquity treasures with contemporary manifests and develops a space that exudes humble energy.
Tonal maven
A neutral backdrop has always been a favourite of walls and floors, but the latest finishes and washes are giving the humble bones a brave new look.
Here, go for maximum impact. Think of combining textures of coarse dark wood with flickers of metallic in steel and aluminum. If you opt for feature walls, your floor should err on the side of neutral, and vice versa.
Textural details with varied tones will add depth and drama to a space - so don't be too subtle. Contrast is key!
Be a curator
Recycling and reusing your furniture in a considered way elevates your indoor space above the ordinary.
For example, a vintage chair with distinctive wear and tear reclined against a bold mid-‐century floor lamp conjures up thoughts of livelier times.
A great feature of weathered furniture is its durability and practicality, so for once it is easy to assimilate classic designer furniture into a family home.
Beautiful Basics
The cornerstone of rustic inspiration the materials you choose. From bold worn‐out upholstery to threadbare cushions that echoes the past; your choice in tapestry will set the mood for how rustic you desire your space to feel.
To soften an unkempt look, interweave sheer fabrics such as linens and voile.
Alternatively, to dishevel clean-‐lined furniture, look to adorning vintage fabrics that proudly show their design credentials with wear-and‐tear.
Layering contrasting materials creates a spirit lifting mix hitting every area of design.
Get the look…
• The key to conquering a rustic interior is to balance out your palette. You should combine elements of old with new, and you should also combine interesting surface textures on walls and floors to ensure you pull off a successful rustic finish.
• Look to textural details that have contrast.
• Accessorise with vintage finds and artwork to add depth and warmth.
• Try mixing materials such as copper and brass and play with metallic elements to enhance contrast.
• Be unpredictable and juxtapose, for example, a worn linen sofa with a natural and warm woolen rug.
• Matt finishes and wholesome, wobbly textures are essential in a rustic home. Perfection and pristine are not required.
• Get creative with the broke, abandoned and unloved and place them at the forefront of your home.

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times: but, until seven times seven.
Forgiving others as God forgives us
How do we feel when others have done us wrong in life? When this happens, how do we deal with it? I feel it is safe to say that it is our human nature to get back at those people who may have hurt us in some way.
However, God says differently. How do we find it in our hearts to forgive?
Do we ever again want to speak to those who may have cast a dark shadow upon us, or just hold a grudge in our hearts towards them forever? Most likely, yes but Jesus does not see it that way. He makes it clear that if we do not forgive others, our Heavenly Father (God), will not forgive us. As Christians, our lives are to be displayed as an open book living for Jesus Christ while we are here on earth.
According to God's Word, forgiving others should not even be an issue with us if we proclaim to be a true Christian. In this week's scripture, Jesus told Peter that he was to forgive his brother, not only once, but seventy times seven. God's Word teaches us that if we as Christians fail to forgive others, then we will not be forgiven. What is the definition of the word 'forgive'? The Webster's II New College Dictionary states that to forgive someone is to excuse for a fault or offense: to pardon. Does God pardon our sins when we ask forgiveness? Does He judge us for the way we treat others? And does He know our hearts and intentions before we even know them ourselves? The answer is "Yes" to all of the above. I am not an expert on the topic of forgiving others, but God has led me to write this week's article on 'forgiveness'. We all should search our hearts. Should we find a hidden grudge or an unforgiving spirit inside then we need to ask God to delete it. We cannot do these things on our own because we are only human and God knows our every weakness. To overcome those fiery darts that Satan throws at us daily, we must pray no matter where we are. God always answers knee mail, chair mail, standing room only mail, and while driving in the car mail. How wonderful it is that we do not have to pay for a lifeline to God like we pay our monthly cell phone bill! Just think; if that was the case, we all would probably be over our airtime minutes, or at least, I know I would be.
As a child of God, we can have an open, life-long communication line directly to Heaven. I believe that we all would be a lot happier if we keep God in our lives and put Him first.

Slavery debate goes off the chain |
Django Unchained stirs controversy, box office |
Published Thursday, January 10, 2013 7:14 am |
Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx gives one his most powerful performances on the big screen with his portrayal of Django in "Django Unchained."
Jamie Foxx stars as the title character in Django Unchained, which has sparked debate over black slavery in the U.S. and use of racial slurs common in movies directed by Quentin Tarantino. |
Foxx plays a slave turned bounty hunter, who gets the rare opportunity to seek revenge against white slavers and bad men, while searching for his captured slave-wife, Broomhilda, played by Kerry Washington.
Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx (Django), Leonardo DiCaprio (Calvin Candie), Samuel L. Jackson (Stephen), Christoph Waltz (Dr. King Schultz), and Washington.
Opening second at the box office, Django Unchained has received mixed reviews since its release. The most notable and harshest critique of the film comes from veteran movie director and writer Spike Lee, who has called for a boycott of the film.
Lee commented on the film via twitter saying: American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them. Lee made these comments even though he has yet to view the film.
Kam Williams, Sentinel and Watts Times movie critic, is on the other end of the spectrum giving Django Unchained four out of five stars. Williams writes, Slavery is reimagined as a messy splatterfest where massa gets exactly what he deserves and then some!
Django Unchained has sparked a debate in the black community and left many mixed feelings and it has brought to life discussions on the topic of black slavery which is a taboo subject in American history and its educational system.
There is no mystery that black slavery is under-analyzed by Hollywood and mainstream media. The most memorable glimpse and realistic portrayal of black slavery on film would be the classic mini-series Roots, starring LeVar Burton. The Roots mini-series brought the horror of slavery into the living rooms of millions.
For the first time in recent history, the subject of black slavery takes center stage as the backdrop of a major Hollywood picture. Tarantinos film and Foxxs portrayal of Django could not have come at a more critical point in American history because gun-control is once again a hot button debate in Washington.
After reading the script, Foxx said he didnt have a knee-jerk reaction to the word Nigger, which is used obsessively in the film.
Me being from Texas, I didnt knee-jerk like someone from New York would or someone from L.A. would because when you live in Texas or you live in the South, there is a racial component that we live with, said Foxx.
I love the South, but there were several moments when I was called the N word so I didnt knee-jerk to that.
Foxx chose to lock in on the love story between Django and Broomhilda. He shared that the heroicness at the very end of the movie, where Django actually lives, sold him on the film.
The slave actually picks up arms, becomes this bounty hunter, and wins in the end, said Foxx.
And the other aspect, me being from Texas it was cowboys, I was riding horses. Back when I was a kid, watching Bonanza was the thing and watching these iconic White cowboys, we never got a chance to play on a big scale. So when I got a chance to meet with Tarantino, I shared a lot of private things that happened to me when I was a kid.
Its rumored that Hollywood heavyweights such as Will Smith, Idris Elba, Terrence Howard, Anthony Mackie and Larenz Tate were up for the role. When Foxx met with Tarantino to discuss his opportunity to play the role, he said he knew whoever got the part would be brilliant.
All of these guys could have done it and thats a testament to the amount of black talent we have in Hollywood today, said Foxx.
Foxx felt he was meant for the part because he could not only play the part but the articulation of the work afterwards.
I would hate to be in the theater watching the film and I am not in the film.
When asked how black people should react to the atrocities captured during filming Django, Foxx said, You are not supposed to feel good when those words are being said. You are not supposed to feel good when a slave is being eaten by dogs; you are not supposed to feel good when a black woman is being whipped. What I will say is this
is when you are talking about the Holocaust, every two or three years there is a movie about their history. When you talk about slavery, its so taboo, it hurts so bad even to mention it, that we dont even want to touch it.
I felt like this, for what this movie can do especially for now and 10 to 20 years from now what it will do, it will open up our eyes differently. If its successful that means a movie about our history at the end, you win and that can set us up for a long time to go back and talk about certain things.
Foxx went on to say there is educational value in the film. Most of the film took place on plantations in Greenville, La. When Foxx met fans while filming in New Orleans and shared with them he was going to Greenville to film on actual plantations they would respond, Where is that?
Foxx had to tackle the subject with his own children as he took his daughters (18 and 4) to the set.
My 4-year-old just ran, jumped and played and had a good time, which is probably what a lot of young slave kids did at the time, said Foxx.
They didnt know how bad their situation was. But my 18 year-old was stunned. 7,000 names of babies that were killed on the plantation because when a black woman would have a baby, the slave master would say, so how are you going to pick cotton? So he killed the baby.
So the atrocities that you see in Django Unchained, its not even close to how it really was. But I think its necessary for us to see that. Its necessary for Django, at where I thought was the most difficult part of the script, was when the dogs eat the Mandingo and tear him apart but Django has to play this slaver character and be someone else (undercover). But to see him deal with that and his partner from Germany dealing with, this happens? And to have Django say, this happens every day.
The N word was tough to deal with on-set. In rehearsal, Washington and Foxx asked for the word to be used. DiCaprio, who plays the slaveowner at Candyland, stopped while filming because it was affecting him emotionally. You should feel affected by it, Foxx said. You are not human if you dont.
Jackson pulled DiCaprio aside and said, Aye Mutha*****, this is just another Tuesday for us. Jackson and Foxx expressed to DiCaprio that if he did not go there, to be that evil person, that they did not have a movie.
When you are doing a movie like this you go beyond Django, said Foxx, who suffered from a lack of sleep during the nine-month filming process.
When asked if Django is a superhero, Foxx responded by saying, I think so.
Whenever I do anything, as a black artist, if black folk arent behind it or happy about it, I feel in a certain way I failed, said Foxx.
Now at the same time, I have to be challenging to my black audience because I am moving as an artist. But I always come back to that. I know black people. I know where they sit. I know what makes them cringe. I know what makes them cry. I know what makes them yell.

I would love to do a family cookbook, made totally beautiful with my digital scrapbooking supplies. I want something half-sheet sized (8.5x5.5)and spiral- or comb-bound. I would want 4 copies, one for me and one for each of my three children. Something about 100 pages, with some blank sheets at the end for adding in more of our own recipes later. Where can I get this printed, and what kind of cost am I looking at? With double-sided color printing, is this going to cost me a fortune?

It's the incest implication that really sells this comic. The rest of it is pretty funny, though.
- March 16, 2011 at 10:37 PM
Less then nine thousand pageviews to go...
Also is that TWILIGHT on the cover of the movies box art... It must actually be a horror movie. - March 16, 2011 at 10:41 PM
oh the incest *hears clopping across the internet* ._. i see you, YOU THERE

If there's one thing this site needs more of, it's implied incest.

"Tell me when they stop stabbing the purple filly"
Now correct me if I'm wrong... but aren't fillies /children/? - March 16, 2011 at 10:44 PM
in as strict a sense as "girl" refers to a child. - March 16, 2011 at 10:50 PM
@The anon that replied
Wiki is telling me that a filly is a girl too young to be referred to as a mare. - March 16, 2011 at 10:52 PM

There are alternate definitions suggesting that a filly is a female horse that has not yet given birth. Other more specific definitions limit that to horses 4 years of age and under (roughly 16% of the horse's average lifespan, which is about 4ish years shy of the 20-something young adults the mane cast are meant to be)
I don't know what the standard definition is among equestrian-minded society, but the one the average EqD visitor works under roughly equates a filly with a virgin, as much as anything to gel with our growing list of in-universe slang, and there's at least a handful of dictionaries in the world that will back us up on that.

Purple filly (That looks A LOT like Twilight)

~Scratch - March 16, 2011 at 11:10 PM
Generally the term "filly" gets used almost interchangeably with "lady" or "girl" on the show, so I think in the MLP universe it's basically just another way describing a female character, possibly up to a certain age though. Older ponies do get referred to as mares.

Honestly, I appreciate your work with the blog, but sometimes you aggravate me. - March 16, 2011 at 11:54 PM
Yeah, seems kind of like one heck of a double standard there...
But then again, I love a well done shipping fic and I am very much gay. Still though, I'm pretty sure some boys love couldn't hurt that much to balance out the sea pf lesbian fics. - March 17, 2011 at 12:10 AM

You know, I kinda figured Scootaloo would be the one to have found the video.
Do they sell Raw Bareback Fillies on Amazon.com? I should probably pick that up.
For research, of course, seeing as I can only clop to kinks and implied sexual situations. HEY WAIT THIS COMIC HAS ONE OF THOSE HOW CONVENIENT
Seriously though, I'm amused. Though I'm relatively sure that out of all of them Sweetie Belle probably would have been able to read the word pleasure on the package (though I could see the noise perhaps startling her. Assuming MLP pony breeding sounds more like human mating than our world's horses mating.)
I'd be the disliked pony to walk in on them, pet Scoot on the head, comfort Sweetie, and then just leave them to their HORROR FILM.
I had a lot more fun thinking through the scenario than I did with the image. That's kind of an awesome thing for an image to offer. - March 17, 2011 at 3:50 AM
Whoever made this pic, thank you so much. I just came back inside after burying my pet hamster, I was absolutely miserable until I saw this picture... I just started laughing nonstop.

It's mostly because Big Mac is the only smart male character on the show who apears in more than 1 episode. - March 17, 2011 at 10:15 AM
Besides Spike you mean? ^^
To those worried about the fillies label... I don't think Saphire Shores was referring to underage girls with the name of her tour either, so this should be fine as well. - March 17, 2011 at 11:29 AM

Why do so many people not like Twilight? Given the opportunity, I would tap that, then get into a serious discussion about how to improve the global economy afterwards. And then we WOULD improve the global economy, and save you assholes from a long, extremely difficult life where a gallon (or liter, depending on your country of origin) of gasoline costs more than any of you make in a year.
Yeah, sleep on that. The mare you felt disgust towards is going to keep you from living in a small crevice in the ground with the help of her man-child slave who sexes her up every other hour. i.e. me!

Very nice card holder/money clip and I love the canvas/leather combination which gives it a very relaxed look and feel. Exactly what I was looking for. However, I find the clip to be very tight making it very hard to get money in or out. Maybe it will loosen with use.

Can You Be Sued If a Driver Reading Your Text Message Causes a Car Crash?
Judge in New Jersey to decide Friday if woman whose boyfriend seriously injured a couple in an auto accident while reading her text message can be added to lawsuit.
One of the big advantages of sending a text message as compared to an e-mail is that the text pops up on the front of someone's cellphone immediately.
So can you be held liable if the person reading that message loses control of a vehicle and injures someone?
A New Jersey judge says he will rule on that question Friday in a case involving a Dover couple who each lost a leg after their motorcycle was struck by a driver allegedly reading a text message.
According to the Daily Record, court records show that Kyle Best, who was 18 at the time, and his girlfriend, Shannon Colonna, exchanged numerous text messages on the day of the crash, including one sent just before he lost control of his pickup truck near Montville and struck a motorcycle ridden by David and Linda Kubert.
David Kubert told CBS News that it was obvious that Best was reading a text message at the time of the crash. "What I saw was a gentlemen in the truck steering with his elbows, with his head down," Kubert said. "And I could tell he was text messaging."
But the Kuberts also want to hold Colanna responsible for contributing to the crash, and have asked the judge to add her to the lawsuit.
Best's lawyer, Joseph McGlone, said that is going too far.
"Shannon Colonna has no way to control when Kyle Best is going to read that message," he told the Daily Record.
What do you think?

He should have knew better then answering the text message while he was driving. It's the law.

GT...If you would spend less time texting and more time reading real writing, you might have more credibility when you decide to post.
9:01 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
You can get sued for anything....it doesn't mean they'll win.
10:40 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
Not only should the answer be "no" but any judge who would allow such a case to go to trial should be removed. No only doesn't it make sense, no one should have to spend a penny (while they are still made) to defend themselves either. However, I could see suing the manufacturer of the texting device. They could be compelled to install a "chip" that would disable the unit if it moved at a certain predetermined speed. I realize it would also affect the passengers but the safety factor would outweigh the inconvenience. It does reek of "nanny state" mentality but does make more sense than some the dumb ideas from Trenton and Washington. Yes, I admit that seeing drivers calling and texting on the road irks me to no end.
Claudine Scozzari
7:48 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
I agree; the judge that allows this to type of law suit to proceed in a court room should be removed. It is a waste of the tax payers dollars. If the judge allows this case to proceed, the judge is presuming the person sending the text message can predict and foresee the future, meaning the person sending the text message would have know where and when the recipient of the test message was going to read the actual text message.
If the judge does proceed with the case, I would have serious concerns with the sanity of the judge; however, as with most legal matters that are in a court room, there is little rational or cognitive thinking occurring with any of the legal professionals including attorneys, paralegals, and judges.
The legal system in this State could be dealing with so many more rational issues that may have prevented property damage and economic loss. This type of suit just keeps the judges and legal teams busy.
10:42 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
Yes, you can be sued for anything and they might not win but that doesn't mean you wont be inconvenienced and be out fees for a lawyer when you are innocent. It is a no lose situation for a lawyer to try to bring as many defendants into a case as possible because they might find a sympathetic jury. The law system in this country is ridiculous.
Marie Lynn
10:57 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
Absolutley not! How about blaming the company who made texting possible? Seriously. Recieving a text while driving doesn't cause accidents, making the decision to read or respond to one, does. Therefore if there's an accident, the blame has to fall on the driver who ultimately chose to use his phone, and no one else. **One of the worst technologies ever created simply because people will never learn to stop texting while driving!**
11:30 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
The biggest problem in New JUSEY. judges are APPOINTED??NOT elected.like in most NON CORRUPT STATES. If a JUDGE is an A--ole then he or she should be removed, If the judge were to be elected WE could remove them. Not in NJ life time of ?? decisions!! You are a GOOD JUDGE!!!??? HA!HA!
12:41 pm on Friday, May 25, 2012
We do not want people like you voting as your lack if intellect is obvious even from this single post. By the way, did you know that all federal judges are appointed? It is more likely that incompetent people are elected as judges than appointed. Have you ever hear of judicial independence or the politcal question doctrine? Do you know how these things impact decisions as to whether judges should be appointed or elected?
1:54 pm on Friday, May 25, 2012
Yes Herky, you are correct. As the saying goes, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Many judges stay on the beach even when their faculties have long gone south. To ESQ, some judges are so morally corrupt that they should never have been appointed in the first place. Do you believe that every decision by all judges are just and fair? A good example is the death penalty in NJ. The State Supreme Court struck down most cases. The most outrageous occurred when in Morris County, a first degree murder conviction which included the death penalty was commuted. The reason cited: the murderer did not intend to cause the death of the victim after stabbing the chest 42 TIMES. My favorite was when Robert Toricelli dropped out of the US Senate race and Frank Lautenberg was allowed on the ballot without even having to run in the primary! We just want accountability with some ethically challenged government officials.

This is like suing Solo (maker of the Red Solo Cup) for your DUI or suing your spoon for making you fat.
The choice to read and reply to a text (or anything else not involved with driving) is choice by the driver. It is his or her decision and responsibility alone. What next, graduated licenses for operating a cell phone?
Eric R.
11:09 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
It actually is more like suing the cook of the food that maid you fat and the bar that served you drinks. And yes, it happens. People are that stupid.
Personal responsibility was left on the roadside years ago.
Joshua Berry
11:21 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
I was responding to the person who mentioned suing the phone manufacturers, but yes I agree it is insane that people do not accept responsibility for their decisions.
12:58 pm on Friday, May 25, 2012
Sadly, in this country thats the way things are. Remember the cases of people who were sueing McDonalds for making them FAT? No one is held accountable any more for their actions and they always want to share the blame. Its pathetic and childish.
7:36 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
Just because your phone rings or you get a text it doesn't mean you have to look at it right then and there. I'm tired of stupid people using 'smart' phones every waking minute of their lives. At a staff meeting - right in the middle of talkiing - my boss will actually stop talking to look at incoming text messages. It's just gotten too stupid. I almost ran over a women in the brick plaza parking lot because she just walked in front of my car, she was too busy texting and didn't even look up when I locked up my brakes. I wish I could say it was some dumb kid but she had to be in her forties.
8:01 pm on Saturday, May 26, 2012
I could not agree with you more. it is not her fault that she sent the message, it is his fault for entertaining it while driving. The Law states no texting or talking while driving. There is no way she should be held accountable. It was his decision to pick up his phone and read. Smart Phones are good, but people have just become super rude with them. I am a manager myself and when I conduct a meeting, no cell phones, no blackberry's nothing. Whatever is on that e-mail or whatever can wait. If its an emergency, they have the conference room number. One of my colleagues carries three phones??? But I always know when his wife is trying to get a hold of him, because they go off one after another. I finally got the support of the big boss to tell him, no more. I don't hold these meetings for my health, there for company reasons.
9:03 am on Sunday, May 27, 2012
I agree with you.
I send texts to friends and family. Sorry, but I don't carry a crystal ball to see if they're driving. UMMM who else can we blame for OUR ignorance. Maybe it's time to own up people!

7:36 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
ABSOLUTELY YES! These comments alone are one of the reasons that there are crashes caused by texting while driving. Are you kidding me? "Sue the company that created texting" That's a good one.
First off, it's against the law to USE your cell phone while driving in NJ. So you shouldn't be using it in the first place. It boggles my mind as to why you people feel you are so important that you have to read a text as soon as you get it. You are pathetic. These people made the wrong choice, now they should pay for it.
8:35 am on Friday, May 25, 2012

Maybe you need to take a reading comprehension class. It ISN'T the driver being sued, it's the person who sent him the text who was in her home (NOT driving).
No one forced the driver to answer the phone/text.
I get texts/calls the time while I'm in the car and I don't reply until I pull over into a parking lot/rest area or similar local.
8:06 pm on Saturday, May 26, 2012
Here Here. Isn't it funny how much times have changed. I remember back when you had to write a letter, or if you wanted to hang with your friend, you called them from your home phone. Companies dealt with intranets and not the internet. I think technology is great, but its just also gone insane.... My family gets mad, because if I am working or driving or whatever, I don't answer. The person I answer to immediately is my child, because I know if he is trying to contact me, its important.. But even so, if I am in a meeting, I do NOT carry my phone with me....

I agree with grill master it's the drivers fault if he picks up the phone while driving
I see so many people texting and talking on the phone including the police put the phone down and drive
8:10 pm on Saturday, May 26, 2012
Well I have to agree, the LAW in the State of NJ states, you must use a non hand held device ( sorry I can not think of the word I want to use ) and no texting. So bottom line no phone use. Your supposed to stay focused on the road. I find it disturbing when you see these guys driving in their police cars, chatting away on their phones. What makes them safer drivers on their phones while driving, then the average person?
9:48 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
It is obvious from the comments and the poll that the majority of commenters reserve the right to text (and phone) no matter what the consequences. It is equally obvious that the injured deserve the right to sue all responsible: caller, callee and manufacturer.
10:36 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
"It is obvious from the comments and the poll that the majority of commenters reserve the right to text (and phone) no matter what the consequences"
How did you come up with this conclusion when the majority of people voted for "he didn't have to answer the phone"
You seem confused.

The number of drivers of all ages, from older to the youngest
are still using their Cell phones while driving ...
I have almost been hit head-on by a young driver while she was
on her Cell phone ... while doing this, she had drifted into my lane.
GSP commuter hours are always populated by drivers who attempt
to bury their cell phones against their head ... even looking away from
the direction they are traveling ... sad when this happens and a
serious injury or death occurs ... ALL THE LAWS AND SUITS WILL NEVER

C- Do you text while driving? [ ] yes [ ] no.
D- Do you originate the calls [ ] yes [ ] no.
E- Do you answer your Cell phone while driving? [ ] yes [ ] no.

How did people manage to do business or have any form of social life before cell phones?
Texting is a new toy for the kiddies. They will conduct an ongoing conversation with text. Wouldn't it be easier and in some cases safer if they just talked on the phone?

Okay the person Driving is the ONLY one responsible , how the F does the texter technically know he was driving anyway??? That could of been left out. And the company that manufactures the phone COME ON REALLY??? Whatever that person does with the phone once they purchase the damn thing is up to them. Companies are making ways to do things with the phones now a days to avoid accidents. Only one to blame is the one behind the wheel using the phone.. Oh well people sue others for very petty things because they're greedy a holes . What are you gonna do, that's life.

So can I sue the local radio station for causing my speeding ticket because they played "Radar Love"? If a car full of kids hears "Bohemian Rhapsody" and recreates the scene from Wayne's World, can they sue the DJ after their accident?
Of course not. Drivers are ultimately responsible for their choices behind the wheel, whether it be speeding or not paying attention to the road because of music or phones or others in the car. As many here have stated, if the text or conversaton is that important pull over.

Glad to see the judge ruled that the sender could not be included it the law suit.
It should be the driver who answered the call/text.
There is no law that says if a phone is ringing you MUST answer it.
I doubt you could sue the caller if you tripped and injured yourself answer your house phone.

The question now becomes- will the plaintiffs appeal?
10:35 am on Saturday, May 26, 2012
There are several things at issue here. I believe that the most egregious injustice is that Shannon Colonna is being sued for originating the texts. By that standard, the inventor of texting, the cell phone carrier company, the manufacturer of the phone and the FCC who licenses the phones and the airwave frequencies should also be sued for their connection to texting. The point is, to paraphrase our friends who advocate for unrestricted Second Amendment rights, that cell phones don't crash, drivers do. But nevertheless, even though the judge dismissed the charge, Colonna is required to retain and pay for a lawyer to defend her. What should really happen is that if a person brings a frivilous suit such as this, and loses, they should be required to pay the defense attorney's fees and for any lost wages and inconvenience on the part of the defendant. That would curb a lot of this silliness. And while I support motorcyclist's rights to the road, My experience on the road is that the vast majority of them recklessly speed, take chances and have perfected the art of careless driving and 2. If you go onto a highway and travel at high speed on a machine that, in case of an accident, will make you a flying human projectile, I question your prudence. Please don't be offended; everyone I know who rode motorcycles was unfortunately either injured or was killed.

....based on this judge's decision......this will kill any chances of me filing a lawsuit should I receive a piece of mail from the DMV....attempt to read it while walking down some stairs while holding hot coffee, juggling chainsaws, and putting in my contact lenses...then... fall and end up scalded, armless, and blind. This common sense and personal responsibility stuff is just too much to deal with. How WILL a lawyer make ends meet?
8:16 pm on Saturday, May 26, 2012
I was coming off the Path Train one day and went into Newark. Some woman in front of me, was texting on her phone and missed the stair. She fell down two other stairs and cracked her head on the door. She is suing the Port Authority for this.... It's like UMMMM... If you were paying attention and not texting, none of this would have happened....

Ray Lewis was the honorary starter for the Daytona 500.
Lewis waved the green flag without incident Sunday to start the "Great American Race."
Lewis, who said he was nervous, got a quick tip from driver Brad Keselowski right before the race.
"Brad texted me on the way in, the one rule is, don't drop the flag," he said."I'm going to squeeze the flag very hard. I want to watch this and be a part of it. To be here is an awesome experience."
Lewis was one of several stars at Daytona International Speedway.
Rappers T.I. and 50 Cent attended NASCAR's season opener.
Oscar-nominated actor James Franco was the grand marshall and said, "Drivers and Danica, start your engines!"
The Zac Brown Band played a pre-race concert in the Daytona International Speedway infield. Band member Clay Cook performed the national anthem.
Retired baseball pitcher Tom Gordon, comedian Drew Carey, Wes Welker and Steve Spurrier also were in attendance.
Lewis called Keselowski on the eve of the 2012 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and left him an inspirational voice message.
Keselowski also said he often listens to Lewis' motivational speeches before races.
"I caught a glimpse of how he always watched my videos and it really inspired him," Keselowski said."That's when me and him really started having conversations with each other, and from there it just turned into a friendship. I send him motivational things, and heads-up on what I am doing, that's where the relationship has gone."

Chad Norris with Trevor Bayne after their Texas win in 2011. (ASP, Inc.)
Carl Edwards, winless in his last 52 races and fighting to make NASCAR's Chase for the Championship, has a new crew chief, Roush Fenway Racing announced Tuesday.
Chad Norris will replace Bob Osborne as Edwards' crew chief immediately. Osborne was with Edwards when Edwards made his Cup debut in 2004 and ran the final 13 races that year. The following season, their first full season together, Edwards won four races and finished third in the points.
Osborne and Edwards parted in May 2006 in what is Edwards's worst full season to date, before being reunited in 2007. They had been together since, winning 18 races and finishing second in the championship twice.
Their split this time comes as Edwards is 11th in the point standings, 46 points behind the 10th and final points-qualifying Chase spot. He is not in position for one of the two wild card spots at this time since he doesn't have a victory. Seven races remain until the Chase field is set.
"At this time in my life, however, concerns with my health have necessitated that I change my role within the organization," Osborne said in a statement issued by the team. "This transition is not an easy one, but I'm thankful to have the full support of Jack (Roush), Carl and the entire organization. I also have every confidence in Chad Norris, and I look forward to working with him as we continue to pursue a championship in 2012. I also appreciate the privacy and respect that the community will give me and my family during this difficult time."
Osborne will remain with Roush Fenway Racing and be a senior member of its management team and steering committee.
"I cannot say enough good things about Bob Osborne," Edwards said in a team release. "I'm so thankful for what he's done for me as a driver, and he is without a doubt one of the smartest guys in the sport. I'm also appreciative of the fact that he'll continue to be a resource for me and our team as we focus on these final races.
"We're very fortunate to have Chad Norris as part of our organization to take over for the No. 99. I've known Chad for a long time and he is a fierce competitor. We've got our work cut out for us over the next seven races, and I've got every confidence Chad can lead our team to where we need to be."
Norris has been with Roush since 2005, when he scored his first win, a Nationwide Series victory, in his fifth race as crew chief for Matt Kenseth. He's led the company's research and development test program since last year. Norris most recently oversaw wins in the Nationwide Series for Marcos Ambrose and Trevor Bayne in 2011. He has also served as Bayne's NNS crew chief this season.
"Our commitment to winning a championship with the No. 99 in 2012 has not wavered," owner Jack Roush said in a statement. "I'm committed to providing the resources to Carl and to his team to do that, and this restructuring of Bob's role and the introduction of Chad Norris as the crew chief for the No. 99 will put us in the best possible position for these final seven races before the 'Chase' begins."
'DINGER'S DATE SET A date has been set to test AJ Allmendinger's "B" sample following his failed random drug test prior to the July Daytona race weekend.
Allmendinger's business manager, Tara Ragan, released in a statement that, "We now have a confirmed date for the testing of AJ's "B" (split specimen) sample. The test will take place on Tuesday, July 24 at 8:00 a.m. CDT and be conducted at the Aegis Analytical Laboratories in Nashville.
"Pursuant to the 2012 NASCAR Rulebook and in line with the procedures, we have elected to have a designated independent toxicologist present on AJ's behalf. Along with everyone else, we are looking forward to hearing the results as quickly as possible."
A NASCAR statement indicated that the date was selected by Allmendinger. According to an ESPN report, Allmendinger's "B" sample test is expected to be complete by the Brickyard 400 on July 29.
Martin Truex Jr., shooting down rumors of a departure. (ASP, Inc.)
GETTING CLOSER Martin Truex Jr. says he's "getting close" to a contract extension with Michael Waltrip Racing. Truex's contract expires after this season, along with sponsor NAPA. Both are expected to remain with Waltrip's team.
"We're kind of finalizing some details, but I've been obviously extremely happy with the performance of the team this year," said Truex, who is eighth in the point standings. "It's been so great to be a part of MWR, not only this year, but the last three seasons to really be a part of where we've kind of come from as a team and where we're heading. To be a part of that building process and be a part of the performance of the team increasing and kind of feel like I've had a little bit to do with the team's success has been very fun for me and it's something I want to continue doing."
Truex and his No. 56 team have scored four top-5 and nine top-10 finishes in 2012.
LETTER CAMPAIGN A letter on behalf of NASCAR, IndyCar, NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball was sent this week to Rep. John Boehner, Speaker of the House, urging his continue opposition to an amendment that would ban military sports sponsorships.
"Given the success of the military's use of professional sports to reach out to the American people, we encourage you to support the U.S. Armed Forces and enable them to continue to have the same access to media and venues as world leading businesses and nonprofits," part of the letter states. "Please work to remove the Kingston-McCollum Amendment from the House DOD Appropriations bill."
ROAD TRIP Jeff Gordon is using his time off this week to return to Rwanda for the opening of a cancer center on behalf of the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation. He went there in December to look at what was being done there for children.
"We had already made a commitment to fund a cancer center there," Gordon said. "Now, we are actually doing the grand opening and the ribbon cutting ceremony of it actually starting. It took a little while to get … the hospital is there, but to get the cancer center, which is the part that we're helping to fund. It also took a while to get some pretty important people scheduled there. I am excited that Paul Farmer, he's kind of master-minded it all, will be there. But we'll also have President Clinton there, and the president of Rwanda, President Kagame. I'm excited.
"I'm able to be a part of something that is ground-breaking in rural East Africa. This is the first of its kind of any cancer center. When they look at the projections in a developing country like East Africa, cancer is on the rise there, and can be very curable and treatable in many cases. It's just not happening. This is a big step, and I can't wait to get there and be a part of this event."
PIT STOPS Penske Racing announced Tuesday that 18-year-old Ryan Blaney will drive for the team in at least three Nationwide races this season. Blaney, the son of Cup drive Dave Blaney, is scheduled to make his team debut Aug. 4 at Iowa. Ryan Blaney also is scheduled to drive in the Nationwide races at Richmond and Kentucky. ... The Cup Series is off this weekend before running the next 17 weekends. The Camping World Truck Series and Nationwide Series are both at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend.

"There is a strange charm in the hope of a good legacy that wonderfully reduces the sorrow people otherwise may feel for the death of their relatives and friends."-Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
As children, my sister and I constantly argued and obsessed over which one of us would die first. As much as we fought and pulled one another's pig-tails, we each agreed that we could not lucidly handle the other's demise. Ultimately, we embraced, encircling each other with skinny arms, and dramatically declared to perish simultaneously to avoid further distress. Perhaps, the solution to this sibling sorrow is found within the aforementioned quote: "in the hope of a good legacy."
I want a memorable legacy. When I die, I want to be remembered as a prolific storyteller, artist, and musician. To my age and the following generations, I bequeath thousands of wonderful words, picturesque phrases, run-on sentences and, most likely, copious contradictions. Although my accomplishments may be meager, I aspire for them to hold immense influence, even if only for my relatives and friends. I would like them to remember me as a dauntless character, commemorated for both my snarkiness and spunk (i.e. my adventurous Indiana-Jones-like spirit).
I wish to be known for embracing my embarrassments, especially my early, seemingly lesser work. Perhaps my passionate and transient merits will be appreciated as much as those that are more sophisticated. Conceivably, my process will be what gives my art and life value. I imagine those who knew me would call me eclectic and say, "She had a strange charm about her."

Частна детска градина "Немо" - Private kindergarten "Nemo"
Private kindergarten "Nemo" has developed its own concept of education and training of children in road safety. As such the kindergarten commits to a three year road safety plan based on the following actions:
1. To carry out casual games and craft skills activities that will target all age groups in the kindergarten. These games will be integrated in the daily activities and programs of the children. The games will be informative and will be carried out by the teachers and occasionally inviting the parents to also participate. The aim is to transfer skills and knowledge to the participants on road safety issues, especially awareness of road signs and safe behavior.
2. To carry out a specific day dedicated to road safety at the premises of the Kindergarten. The event titled "The city…the street. My smile". This event will involve stakeholders from the local police force giving out advice and will be open to the public. Paintings and creations related to road safety of the children will also be displayed.
3. We will update our website with information related to road safety and our educational programs to our children related to road safety. We will ensure that these are both visible in Bulgarian and English.

I saw a product at my local quilting store that "binds" batting together so don't throw them out! It's like a tape you can use so you would have a flat seam. Seemed pretty cool to me- I'll check on it to let you know who makes it when I go back there in the next few days.

Report into Cumbria's nuclear options completed
Last updated at 12:13, Friday, 17 August 2012
One of the most significant reports ever produced in Cumbria's nuclear history has been officially signed off.
The weighty document – the culmination of three years of evidence gathering – is now on its way to three councils for a landmark vote in October.
The hefty analysis represents the last and final report of the 17-member body, the West Cumbria Managing Radioactive Waste Safely Partnership.
It will be used as the reference point to determine whether the area agrees to take part in a nationwide search to solve the nuclear waste issue.
It could pave the way for west Cumbria hosting a mass underground repository to store intermediate and highly radioactive waste.
Such an underground site could be anywhere between 200 metres down or higher than Blackpool Tower at its shortest, or 1000 metres underground, the equivalent height of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, at its deepest.
The final report makes no recommendation for or against the site, and does not aim to propose potential sites or location. Instead it aims to provide the authorities with a 360-degree view of the issues before they make a decision.
In the event that councils decide west Cumbria can take part in the search, the chief issue of contention is likely to centre around the suitability of the geology of any potential site and its compatibility with nuclear waste material.

Highlights: Sweden (Stockholm)
A mix of traditional and ultra-modern, Stockholm is a city of contrasts. Beautiful Medieval architecture mixes seamlessly with chic Scandinavian design. Experience world famous sites such as the Vasa Museum, a building dedicated to an ancient warship resurrected from the depths of the harbor and now perfectly preserved in layers of wax. Enjoy the luxury of the Royal Palace and its Treasury, or visit the historic City Hall, with its Blue and Gold halls and take in the marvelous scenery from its tower observation deck as you explore this magnificent city.
Enjoy a private transfer from airport to hotel in a private vehicle with an English speaking driver.
Scandic Anglais (4*) is one of Stockholm`s most well-known hotels, right in the heart of Stockholm. Conveniently located adjacent to Stureplans busy business, shopping, and entertainment centers and yet facing the tranquillity of Humlegården Park. Scandic Anglais with 212 rooms gives you a wide choice of rooms - from the very popular "city cabin" (a fully-equipped single room with no windows) up to a large suite with balcony overlooking Humlegården Park. Anglais Bar & Restaurant offers delicious food and excellent service. The Anglais bar is one of the most popular pianobars in Stockholm with a panoramic view of the city's lively Stureplan area. Enjoy free onsite gym and exercise facilities at the Scandic Anglais hotel.
See the whole of Stockholm in 90 minutes. We show you the most famous buildings and views, including a stop at Fjällgatan, where the view of Stockholm's islands and waters is truly wonderful.
Sinking to the bottom of the harbour in 1628, the Vasa is arguably the best preserved ancient maritime artifact in the world. Its maiden voyage lasted a mere 1300 metres before capsizing just off shore. Early attempts to raise it were unsuccessful, but a state backed effort began salvage in 1956. In 1961, after years of preparation and raising small portions of the ship, the main lift was performed. However, this was just the beginning. Preservations efforts would continue until 1979, when the spraying of the preservative substance was complete.
This elaborate effort and years of hard work have left a legacy for future generations to experience and learn about their seafaring past. Upon entry into the building, you are overwhelemed by the completely restored and preserved Vasa.
