An award-winning economic theory offers insight into three important federal IT trends
Warren Suss is president of Suss Consulting, a federal IT consulting firm headquartered in Jenkintown, Pa.
The thinking of a Nobel Prize-winning economist could help all of us in the federal information technology field deliver better, faster solutions for government workers, warfighters and citizens.
Oliver Williamson, who won the Nobel Prize last year, was one of my professors when I was in grad school. I've kept in touch with him over the years because his work on transaction cost economics was one of the handful of things I learned in grad school that is still relevant to my day-to-day work.
Williamson begins with three core concepts that fit our environment well:
We can apply Williamson's framework to three important federal IT trends: insourcing, the shift to fixed-priced contracting and the breakup of large contracts, which I call segmentation.
Trend 1: Insourcing
Many agencies are offering on-site contractor employees a deal they can't refuse: Either quit your contractor job and join the government or you're out of a job altogether.
From Williamson's perspective, insourcing's potential payoff is the ability to save on transaction costs associated with managing large, complex IT projects and operations. Why? Because in the federal IT space, when transaction costs go up, success rates on IT projects go down. And IT has become the primary tool for maximizing the productivity and effectiveness of the federal government.
To achieve insourcing's benefits, we need to go beyond simply giving workers a different ID badge. Instead, we should focus new, insourced resources on improving IT governance. That approach should allow us to respond more rapidly and flexibly to emerging user requirements, achieve the benefits of promising new technologies sooner, move with greater speed and agility to address operational problems, and redirect IT projects in trouble.
Trend 2: The shift from time-and-materials to fixed-price contracts
Trend 2: The shift from time-and-materials to fixed-price contracts
The challenges of moving to fixed pricing can be addressed with strategies that reduce transaction costs on both the government and industry sides. Unfortunately, many agencies have embraced multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracting without appreciating the importance of providing better data to help industry generate more accurate demand forecasts. Likewise, companies can compete by doing a better, clearer job of defining what they'll deliver for a fixed price.
Trend 3: The breakup of large IT contracts
Segmentation creates new interfaces between the government and contractors. With more interfaces come more challenges and more chances for opportunistic behavior. The key to success will be improved governance to enable successful interactions among all players. The government also needs to make major progress in governing its fragmented user and IT management communities, and industry must help the government deploy that framework.
If government and industry leaders adopt these lessons from Williamson, the winners will be the federal workers, warfighters and people who rely on technology to help our nation thrive.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
The argument threading through Oliver Williamson's numerous works is that every organizational structure exists to economize on transaction costs. The article appears to suggest that keeping those "large, complex IT projects and operations" in contractor's hands is inefficient from the transaction-cost standpoint. Applying Williamson's framework to government contracting can then lead to one simple question: Why would those projects EVER be contracted out in the first place?
The article also makes an implicit assumption that contracting out is associated with greater transaction costs, which is not at all certain...

Shotokan is recognizable by its linear, direct punching, blocking, and kicking. Shotokan emphasizes correct posture, correct joint alignment, and formality of basic technique above all else. Basic techniques are defined to the last detail, and performing them properly is given the highest priority. This is called kime (focus). At the New England Shotokan Karate-Do we teach traditional Japanese Karate methods.
Fulfilling the Dojo kun. This is all too often forgotten in the modern American martial arts teaching but Karate-Do is a way of life and a building of a stronger and better person, not a violent person who does not care about their fellow human beings."The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of character of it's participants"
We do not teach violence, but instead to respect and care for your fellow man. Karate is a life long path to self discovery and teaches control of emotions, discipline, focus, commitment, hard work, patience and inner peace. Karate is much more than simply a martial art (learning how to fight) but as the Grand Master Gichin Funakoshi taught, karate is a way of life. This is where the Do comes from in Karate-Do. It is to help build not only a physically stronger person but to build a stronger spirit that is at peace with its surroundings. The Grand Master practiced Shotokan karate into his late 80's on a daily basis. So it is well suited to youngster, women, men, and seniors. Karate is moving meditation as well as training your body in a martial art.
The Grand Master, Gichin Funakoshi always taught his students that a true Karate-Ka trained to not fight! A true Karate-ka is a peaceful and a respectful person, but if need be can defend themselves in a extremely effective manner. At New England Shotokan Karate we practice the traditional discipline and respect of higher ranks and of each other.
"True Karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humanity, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice."

The McPherson High Bowling teams swept Andover Central in an Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League dual Thursday at Wichita's Northrock Lanes.
The Bullpup boys just edged out a 2,283-2,260 win over the Jaguars. Jacob Helmer shot a 569 to lead the Bullpups off games of 165, 206 and 198. Joel Morey was right behind with a 566 (181, 207, 178), followed by Levi Holgerson with a 565 (144, 208, 213).
"The boys struggled all day," MHS coach Herb Halinski said. "It was easy for them to hit the pocket, but they just didn't seemed to be focused shooting spares."
On the girls' side, the Bullpups won 2,425-2,033. Macy Nightengale had a huge day, shooting a 664 off games of 247, 202 and 215.
"She had a great look all day and was able to carry," Halinski said. "You either carry at Northrock or have spare practice all day."
Crystal Nutter shot a 599 series with games of 163, 209 and 227. Jasmine Wann had a 590 with games of 193, 184 and 213.
The boys junior varsity also picked up a win 2,041-1,754. The girls lost 1,579-966.

2003 Ford Ranger 4dr SuperCab XLT FX4 Level II 4WD Styleside SB (4.0L 6cyl 5M)
I bought my Ranger brand new off the lot with 11 miles on it. I'm now up to 62,000 and have only changed fluids and am on my 2nd set of tires. No issues or problems to speak of. I would say the only thing Ford did wrong with this truck is the transmission. It's jerky, clunky, clumsy, and at times feels/sounds like it's going to fall out...yet it hasn't failed yet. The cab is perfect for 2 people, yet the jumper seats in the back work for 2 more on short distances. The bed is just the right size and with the two package, it can pull more than it looks. Off road it feels at home and on the road it drives wonderfully. I love my Ranger!
Small, but beefy. Powerful little truck that handles well on or off road. I love the 4 doors, jumpseat option, and just the right sized bed.
Better transmission (smoother, not so clunky). A full 4-door version might be nice (not the explorer SportTrac).
5sp. which apparently is rare in this configuration. came with a shell. I live in CA where we instantly lose 3+ mpg once we enter the state so I average around 15. Out of state I get around 20. A little stiff for fun off roading. I use it to pull trees and brush out of canyons and generally drag stuff around. I also use it as a sports car and commuter car. For an all around vehicle for someone who does a little of everything this is it. Tight suspension and steering with the BFGs make it scream around corners in the mountains of so cal. Good turning radius and truck width. Great towing rig! The front tow hooks are perfect and get used a lot. My favorite truck!
Front tow hooks and posi rear end special to the FX4. BFG All Terrains. Rubber floor mats, ergonomics. Tight steering and suspension, towing ability, power and that manual trans under a beautiful black body.
seats could hold better, 20 more lbs of torque would be nice. Lower 4wd low. A little better fuel economy would be nice. The governor shuts the truck down at 93 mph.
The 03 Ford Ranger is a compact truck, so do not compare it to a full size or wish it had a crew cab with a 8 foot bed. If these are the things you are looking for then the ranger is not the truck for you as a matter of fact no compact truck is right for you. I am so tired of reading review after review saying the truck is to small, wish it had a V8, wish it had a crew cab, or that it had a larger towing and load capacity. The truck is a great truck for a compact. It does alright on fuel and I have hauled my fair share of loads without any problems. The truck is comfortable if your not 7 ft tall and weigh 400lb.
great little truck for light loads, road trips, 4 wheeling. there is nothing better than to drive your truck to any trail, drive the trail and then drive it home. Great Truck. Do Not Compare To A Full Size.
update the 5 speed manual transmission.
First small pickup I have ever owned.
Good performance on the highway and on
twisty mountain roads. Have not taken
it off-road. Mine is a 5-speed
manual. Good shifting, smooth clutch
and excellent take-off with the 4.10
rear end. Actually could use a better
fifth gear ratio. 5th is a little too
close to 4th for long highway driving.
Alcoa rims and BF Goodrich tires. The
use of the stainless trim around the
shift and x-fer case stalks
better fuel economy and better 5th
gear overdrive ratio, turns more than
2500 rpms and 65 mph.
I bought my FX4 level II Ranger back in
January of 2003. I have 13,000 miles on
it so far and it still drives like the
day I bought it. I love this truck so
much I can't stay out of it. the power
is right there with the 5-speed
automatic transmission and the 4:10
gears. My truck also has bucket seats
and the ride is just right. This one of
the best Rangers ford has ever made!
Ride height, white faced gages, bucket
seats, handling, and the power from the
Make the Mach radio an option for the
FX4 Level II

Pattern a day calendar
I picked up two calendars today from Costco - one for me, one for my SIL. I cheated... I looked through the whole flippin' thing! There are some GREAT patterns!! Just thought I'd let you all know. ;)
You cheated! How could you! :shock:
:roflhard: I'm not opening mine until January 1, and I'm only going to look at one each day. So there! ;)
Isnt it a PERPETUAL calendar?? :??
Nope, mine's got the date and year.
I think that's why they call it a Calendar! :rofling:
Is there a link to that calendar please?? :thinking: :XX:
Are they actual patterns, for garments and things, or it is just stitch patterns?
this is where I got mine.
here is the link
they are actual garments, purses, shawls, hats, socks, etc. To be fair though, there are many many of them that are free on the internet. BUT trying to find them all and compile them would take a lot more time than just going and buying the box at your favorite store. i got mine at B&N today with my discount card so i was happy! ;)
edited---try that link now. if it doesn't work go to www.calendars.com and type "knit" in the search field!
orrrrrrrr you can follow Ingrid's link...lol
Thank you very much! :XX:
I tried to get the 2005 and they were sold out in Dec 2004! So, get it while u can!!!
Ingrid, I CANNOT believe that you have such self control as to actually wait until Jan 1!! Good for you :cheering: :cheering:
I am busy buying addi's so I'm not worrying about the calendar unless Lonnie surprises me with one....Yep, I decided to switch to addi's after I found the cheap ones :happydance: :happydance: I'm going to be a full fledged addi-snob in a month or so ;) !!!

Good, But could be better.
I like many grew up on kingston and sandisk usb drivers, this sandisk made it nearly impossible to mount an iso, or save anything for that matter because it was security encrypted to the point where it asked for a passcode to a password. It was excessive but did perform its purpose.

These were really good. I made them for a Christmas party and they were perfect! I used Christmas cupcake liners and the cherry pie filling. They looked and tasted amazing! I will use this one again for sure.
We loved this! My GD and I made a batch to take to a family picnic and they were a hit. Easy to make, nicely portable, and not too hard to control the portions. LOL! I made them as written, with the cherry pie filling, and just spooned out 3 cherries and some sauce over each one. Yum! Next time I'm using kiwi and blueberries and I'll make a glaze. Can't wait! Thanks for the good recipe, BB
I made these wheat- and gluten-free by using Mi-Del GF gingersnaps (added a nice zing). Instead of using pie filling, I warmed some currant jelly and spooned it over the top. Yum! Great party snacks, and yet portion-controlled.

10 Beauty Products This Skin-Care Freak Depends On
At my job interview here at allure.com, the editor straight-up asked if I was a beauty girl. Through the haze that shrouds all interview-related memories, I recall all-too-honestly confessing that I was generally too lazy to pull off masterful, salon-level blowouts or ten-step smoky eyes myself. But, I assured her, I was an absolute skin-care nutcase. (It was the first time I could seamlessly bring up my four years as a—top-selling, thank you very much!—sales associate at The Body Shop as a valid credential.) The college job embedded a serious respect for (and deep dependency on) vitamin C, shea butter, grape-seed oil, and other natural ingredients. During the past two years, my already-high skin-care standards have grown even loftier, and my beauty-product dance card has gone from full to overflowing. Here are its MVPs.

World in Conflict
Instead of it just saying "ACTIVATED!" it goes into a rant saying activated... deactivated.. and repeats over and over until I quit the game and close the trainer. I checked the FAQ's for the trainers and it said put it in the same folder as the game (even though the instructions doesnt say that)and that didnt work. So I tried the open the game first then the trainer and that didnt work either.
Im personally at a loss. Ive never much used trainers before so I have no idea what to do. Like I said previously it worked perfect last night.. just now its not.
I'm running windows xp btw. And I also tried disabling my Av and even my Firewall... But nothings working to fix this glitch. Any suggestions on what happened or what I need to do?

Taste of Shanghai
The empire has landed in World Square, giving shoppers a step up from the usual food court fare. Here you can have a bottle of wine - the T'Gallant Juliet Pinot Grigio ($36/bottle, $7.50/glass) goes down swimmingly - and gorge on dumplings all day and night.
Food News – Xmas Books
Yes, beer matching is a thing. Beer Bites [RRP $45] by Christian DeBenedetti and Andrea Slonecker is pitched at the home beer enthusiast, with plenty of beer consumption tips. Trust me when I say: you won't ask for a pub-chilled schooner glass after reading this book.
Bar Fly – Gin Garden
Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art has rolled out the Astroturf, popped the pink umbrellas and created a truly whimsical fairy-lit pop-up leafy oasis called the Gin Garden, that had me feeling like I'd time travelled and gatecrashed a 1950s backyard tea party.
Food News – Ovolo Woolloomooloo
Lit up cherry blossom trees and vibrant washes of colour turned the 100-year old Woolloomooloo Wharf into a magical fairyland for the launch party of Ovolo Woolloomooloo last week. Alongside celebrity guests like Marcia and Deni Hines, and Jessica Mauboy, I wove my way through the clever interiors that have transformed the cavernous warehouse style-space into something surprisingly intimate, all without losing sight of those soaring ceiling heights.
Chefs Gallery
More than just a menu change, this year Chef Gallery have changed their logo, livery and launched a unique art initiative showcasing Chinese (or Chinese-inspired) art, curated by Simon Chan. Responsible for the gleaming red chair, artist Laurens Tan explained that China is "the nation or the culture that underwent the most change in the last two decades."
Le Pub
Descending the stairs of the CBD's go-to French bistro Le Pub, this seemingly trendy, tardis-like, Parisian-style establishment opens up to reveal an odd mix of the after work drinks' crowd, family diners, and girls' night victims. Nonetheless, the tastefully decorated venue is quite comfortable, albeit a little raucous on the evening I dined.
Newtown Sushi Train
The words 'sushi train' don't always fill me with the greatest of confidence. Too often I've been burned with boring, lack-lustre offerings. The first clue that this Newtown stalwart (opened in 2004) is different, is a glass cabinet featuring beautiful batons of sashimi-grade fish.
Food News – Korean Banquet
Alongside the Consul-General of Korea, Whie Jin Le, and a host of chefs and food media personalities from Danny Russo to Lyndey Milan, I attended the Korean Cultural Centre for a fabulous multi-course Korean Banquet Showcase. We were treated to an array of dishes, including seasonal hwe (Korean-style sashimi) of abalone, salmon, kingfish and cuttlefish, and Korean pancakes (jun) with flavourings like zucchini, mung beans and oysters.
Bar Fly: Woolpack Hotel
My approach to cooking steak usually involves buying whatever's on special, overcooking it until it resembles old carpet, and then failing to rescue the taste by drowning it in tomato sauce. Since discovering this cool Redfern gastropub, my approach has changed... now I leave it to the professionals at The Woolpack to fulfil my meat cravings with a grilled slab of what I'm convinced is Sydney's best steak.
Tantalising glimpses of working chefs through a George Street window box; a well-dressed hostess highlighting the way into the basement off Angel Place… restaurateur Sam Prince sure knows how to generate excitement and intrigue. Switching out guacamole for Tableside Coconut Sambol ($14) and milk buns, Prince harnesses what he did for Mexican at Méjico to give South Indian a much-needed face-lift.

Hey All,
We updated to 3.3.1 from 3.2.1 last week, and everything seems to be working fine. I was updating a CPT we created, adding a new sponsor item, and I noticed that after adding a featured item, clicking save in the media uploader, and then clicking the "X" to return to the editor screen, the grey modal background remained...rendering the rest of the page useless. I linked to screen cast of this. To debug, I checked to see if the problem existed on posts/pages. With These Post Types there was no issue, which makes me think my code for the CPT is causing the problem. I've pasted it below...maybe someone can spot something.
One thing to note, is that I have my CPT's in a core functionality plugin to keep it independent from the theme. I don't think this matters, but figured I would let you know.

Committee overwhelmingly recommends medical marijuana
A House committee advanced a bill to legalize marijuana for medical use Thursday after tweaking the language.
AL: Ever count the number of anti-Trump articles on yahoo vs the non-existent HRC ones? the only ones about her are all positive...earlier today a strange thing happened ....I saw a negative article about her HEALTH....I didn't have time to read it and when I went back one hour later it HAD BEEN DELETED ..it was an HUFFPO article The same type of health article from another source but when I went back a little while later it was nowhere to be found and I searched every way to find it So what is going on? Is she sick? Is she caving under the intense pressure of a primary and then an election..? the intense pressure of the constant attacks from all sides and the lies and scandals...? She is old and she did have a blood clot on the brain and she is intensely overweight and under great stress. why won't she and trump agree to have physicals done by independent teams of doctors...this is way too important to NOT have a clean bill of health I think she is terrified of the upcoming debates and I think she has some severe health issues...temporary perhaps...but she and I are the exact same age and I can guarantee you it does not get better healthwise...not at all.

Afghanistan Back on Soccer Map
Afghanistan hosts its first international soccer match in 10 years on Tuesday, when it plays neighbor Pakistan in a friendly in Kabul.
Afghanistan sits at 139 in the FIFA world rankings, above Pakistan at 167. The world's top ranked side is Spain.
"The fact that we are hosting our first international game in 10 years, and the first against Pakistan in Kabul since 1977, represents a major highlight for football in our country," Afghanistan Football Federation Secretary General Sayed Aghazada was quoted as saying by FIFA.com, the world soccer body's official website.
The match at the Afghanistan Football Federation Stadium in Kabul kicks off at 4 p.m. local time. Afghanistan's last international match in Kabul was against Turkmenistan in November 2003. Afghanistan lost 0-2, an improvement on the 0-11 thrashing it suffered in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, three days prior.
"Afghan football has improved in terms of organization and infrastructure, and we now believe that football can play an even bigger role in our country. Of course we expect a sold-out crowd," FIFA.com quoted Mr. Aghazada as saying.

Just upgraded from D200 to D600 , "WOW" Bloody Fantastic Camera. Waited so long for a D400. I did my homework sold my DX lenses, and I am really glad I made the jump. Interesting when the salesman told me a lot of people who bought the D800 had to upgrade their PC's because of File size. One guy actually bought his D800 back and decided on the D600. Food for thought I guess. Every one has different needs with their Photographic Equipment, but he was saying that a lot of amatuers have gone way out of their comfort zone,and the D600 would be all they would need in the FX world. Anyway I am happy with my purchase.

Anyway, I had to upgrade to the D600 from a Canon Rebel because I have too much horsepower now and post processing isn't taking long enough. I suppose I should have gotten a D800. Hahahaha.Really though, I'm in love with my D600 and 28-300.

I have owned a D700 for about 3 years and have taken about 23000 images with it. I thought long and hard about whether to buy a D600 or not. I am not a professional. I took the plunge and have had the camera about a week. I absolutely love it. There was no dust on arrival (SN 3034xxx) and it has met or exceeded everything I expected.The one surprise was how quiet the shutter is even without using the Quiet mode. I also believe as a result of the way the shutter moves, there is less internally generated vibration which equates to sharper photos. My D700 had an MB-D10 and so was quite heavy. The slap of the mirror seemed to me to want to move the camera more than the D600 does without a grip. Maybe I am goofy, but that is the way it feels to me. I offer no scientific proof.When I look at handheld photos I am amazed at the sharpness and vividness of color. To say I am happy with my purchase is an understatement.Jack
#8. "RE: New D600" | In response to Reply # 6
I totaly agree with the looks of the colors and brightness of the colors.It is a big step up from the D300 (in my case of course).I do have to admit that in my case I have to be carefull with the auto-iso setting and shutter speed (yes I do occasionaly use the big P setting on the camera). It sometimes will go a little slow, even with the 24-70/2.8.But I am getting the hang of it now, now that I know how it handles it.

I sent them $300 dollars for a security deposit. The in retunr gave me a additional $150 credit increase make my line of credit $450.00 and that was to be my limit. I sent my payments in every month(more than was required) like clockwork for 8 months. One time a payment was late due to the mail being slow and they charged me a late fee of 35.00 and reduced my Credit limit by $50.00. (payment was only 6 days late)
I called and spoke with Customer Service several time and was hung up on. Finally someone said that they would put a request in with the credit department to have my credit limit raised back to the $450.00. Three days later a nice letter came stating:
We regret to inform you that we are unable to grant your request at this time because you asked FCNB to increase you credit limit without requiring an additional deposit. FCNB has ceased increasing credit limits on Secured accounts unless customers make a deposit to their FCNB Security Deposit Account that is equal to the amount of the credit limit increase. How ever you are welcome to continue sending in additional deposits to increase the credit limit on your FCNB account.
I called after recieving this letter and was hung up on. I was told to call back when I have a real problem.
Can some one help?

Thai player demands strip-search of Scrabble opponent
Warsaw - A Scrabble player demanded a strip-search after he claimed his opponent had cheated during an international tournament in Warsaw, local media reported Monday.
A Thai competitor called for officials to strip-search British opponent Ed Martin, saying the Brit had hidden the letter "G" on his person during the Scrabble World Championship, Polish Radio reported.
Judges ruled against the strip-search as Martin went on to win the game on Saturday by a single point.
More than 100 contestants took part in the championships which started Wednesday in the Polish capital, for a grand prize of 20,000 dollars. New Zealander Nigel Richards won the tournament on Sunday.//DPA

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Sparkletts Waters aka DS Waters of America, LP. are sneaking in a cancellation fee, regardless of whether you complete the term of service or not. Their wording makes you think there's only a fee if you cancel before the contract is up, but oh no, there is a fee even if you fulfilled your Inital term.
About the contract:
On the contract under Initial Term of Agreement there are three boxes to check (3 years, 1 year, or period-to-period). 1 year was checked in my situation.
You must note that throughout the entire contract Sparklett's uses the terminology "Inital Term of Service" and they also use the terminology "Term of Service".
Cancellation Fee on the front of the contract reads: If Customer terminates service during the inital term, customer will be charged a $35 admin cancellation fee (period-to-period customers will be charged a $15 admin cancellation fee).
The small print on the back:
#2 Term: This agreement begins on the effective date written on the front of this agreement and continues for the term indicated in item 7 on the front of this agreement (the "Inital Term"). Upon expiration of the Inital Term, this agreement shall be in effect on a period-to-period basis until terminated in accordance with this agreement.
#7 Termination: You may terminate this agreement at any time, for any reason, by doing all of the following: (i) providing written notice to DSW at least 28 days prior to the desired termination date, and (ii) if such termination is during the initial term, by paying an admin cancellation fee of $35 (period-to-period customers will be charged a $15 administrative cancellation fee) for processing the account termination, retrieving the water cooler and/or other equipment (if applicable), and related expenses. Within 14 days following any termination of this agreement, you agree to return all water bottles, water coolers, coffee equipment, and related equipment in good condition, normal wear and tear excepted, to your route sales rep.
So here's my beef:
Under #7 (ii) the entire sentence is referring to terminating during the initial term, not afterwards. It's a moot point that #2 term says "Upon expiration of the Inital Term, this agreement shall be in effect on a period-to-period basis until terminated in accordance with this agreement." since #7 (ii) is only referring to terminating during the initial term, in my case 1 year. And the front of the contract only talks about terminating during the Initial Term as well. In fact the $35 was circled by my sales rep. He never told me that after I fulfill my obligation the $35 becomes $15. That's NOT how it reads to the average consumer. I spoke to manager, Stanley, and pointed out to him that the verbiage of the sentence. He told me that I have an old contract and the new ones now have a commma or a period or something to reflect that "(period-to-period customers will be charged a $15 administrative cancellation fee)" is a separate sentence from "If Customer terminates service during the inital term, customer will be charged...". WHICH TELLS ME THE LAWYERS KNEW THEY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE WORDING ON MY CONTRACT. But would Stanley refund my $15? Oh NOOOOOOOOOOO. He said I was SOL.
The way it reads to me and all consumers is like this: If you sign up for 1 year or 3 year contract and cancel before your time is up, you will have to pay $35. If you sign up for period-to-period (REMEMBER THIS IS ONE OF THE THREE OPTIONS ON THE CONTRACT ITSELF), your penalty for not having a contract with any length of time on it is to pay $15 upon cancellation no matter what. The only way to get out of paying to cancel is to have at least a year contract and to fulfill that obligation.
The contract does NOT read: If you fulfill your obligation, Sparklett's will still charge you $15 to cancel no matter what.
What a rip-off! Who else is out there that this had happened to? I smell a CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT BREWING here....

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
1957's The Bridge on the River Kwai is a classic by any definition of the word. Based on the book "The Bridge Over the River Kwai" by Pierre Boule, it tells the compelling story of a band of British soldiers taken prisoner by the Japanese in Thailand during WWII, and how they overcome their situation by building a magnificent bridge for their captors.
Of course that's just on the surface mind you. Alec Guinness masterfully portrays Col. Nicholson, the "by the book" leader of this group. Nicholson's refusal to give into the less-than-honorable demands of the Japanese Col. Saito (Sessue Hayakawa) earned him a well-deserved Oscar for this role. He effectively takes charge of the camp and the bridge building efforts from Saito due to the latter's incompetence and weakness. He uses the bridge as a means to restore some order and dignity to the men, even though not all of them are on board with the idea.
Then there is "Commander" Shears (William Holden), an American who escapes the camp early on, just as Nicholson and his brigade arrives. He finds his way out of the jungle and back to "civilization," only to be recruited (or blackmailed might be a better term) by British forces to help with destroying Nicholson's bridge.
Sure there are a lot of typically-cheesy "50's" moments ("Lovely!"), but there is a great deal more introspection and commentary on the entire methodology with which we fight most wars, and a lot about the people involved and the so-called rules they're supposed to play by.
And in the end, Guinness' portrayal of Nicholson's ultimate realization is sheer brilliance, and brings everything to a decisive end.
This is one of WMB's top twenty, to be sure. See it someday soon!

real Blu Ray review,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bridge on the River Kwai (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)I'm still not entirely sure why Amazon lumps the reviews for all versions of a given release in the same category. It makes it especially hard to locate reviews on the blu ray version. Anyway, this is a review of the blu ray version recently released, in a collector's format. It is composed of basically a digibook within a hard external case, which is quite flashy as it has raised illustrations and looks quite nice. Upon removing the digibook (which is quite a bit thicker than others), you will find a blu ray version of the film, a dvd version, and a few other things.
First up is the small production book. Actually in comparison with the material you get from other digibooks (which are usually scant on information), these few pages are full of notes and events during filming, almost a quick documentary in itself. It's nice to see a version of this book-within-case that is heavy on words and light on pictures, which are still nice on a few pages.
Second are the... Read more

Bridge on the River Kwai: Be Happy in Your Work,
This review is from: The Bridge on the River Kwai [VHS] (VHS Tape)David Lean's "Bridge on the River Kwai" is one of my favorite movies of all time, and one one the greatest war movies of all time, but a differnt war movie. Can the civilized Colonel Nichoson (brilliantly played by Alec Guinness and won him an Academy Award for best actor) defy the brutal Japanese Colonel Saito(Sessue Hayakawa, also brilliant)and win the war of wills? At first we think he won't but the plot takes a strange turn and this Nicholson turns out to be as fanatic as Saito is in the prison camp. Beautifully shot in Ceylon(Sri Lanka) serving well for Burma by Freddie Young, Lean's great photographer also for "Lawrence of Arabia" the viewer can feel the heat and humidity, see the starving appearance of the prisoners, who start buiding the bridge as a lark until Nicholson wins his points of honor and they work harder than ever. My favorite line in the movie is one of Colonel Saito's favorite sayings: "Be happy in your work," which takes... Read more

David Lean's anti-war masterpiece in all it's glory......,
P. Ferrigno (Melbourne, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bridge on the River Kwai (Limited Edition) (DVD)The release of David Lean's powerful, intelligent and thought provoking anti-war masterpiece on widescreen DVD accompanied by the added bonus documentary "The Making of the Bridge on the River Kwai", along with other featurette's, theatrical trailers and an appreciation of the film by noted director, John Milius, is indeed a cause for celebration amongst cinema afficiando's of this most superb of motion pictures.
The remarkable novel by Pierre Boulle (also author of "Monkey Planet"...filmed as the memorable "Planet of the Apes") is masterfully brought to the screen by director David Lean, a true genius behind many historical epics.
Deep inside snake ridden Asian jungles, British and American prisoners of war toil under the sweltering tropical sun working on part of the infamous Burma railway that claimed thousands of Allied lives during WWII.

One Response to The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
It's an excellent movie to be sure, but surviving veterans who were forcibly impressed as slave labour to build the Rangoon-Ichinaro railway and watched their mates die by the thousands of torture, overwork, disease and slow starvation quite understandably seethe with rage at the portrayal of British officers and men acting as willing collaborators with the Japanese. That knowledge unavoidably taints the film.

well, this sounds like a great plugin even if it only does a few networks for free but...
under posts>postbox when i make a new post in the postbox interface i had two problems:
publish to my FB page: it doesn't publish the 'body' or 'title' of my "postbox" post - only the 'message'. so that's really confusing. but it did publish just the 'message'
But my regular WP post did publish nicely.
2) I tried to publish to linkedin from "postbox" but it just kept saying 'posting' and didn't actually post anything. then i tried again and it said it posted but it's not on my linkedin profile.
Now i realize that i am not clear what it even means to publish to linkedin - linkedin doesn't seem to have a 'wall' like Facebook or a blog area to post in. i see i've connected twitter to linkedin so that appears under 'connections'.
Oh the confusing world of social media. Any help on this issue will be appreciated.

Smearing Bernardi
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, January, 30, 2013, (6:50pm)
The latest Fairfax attempt to smear Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi as some extremist in the pocket of Big Tobacco seems to have relied on quite a few mistakes.
Bernardi writes:
FYI - the article by Ms.Wright is now the subject of defamation action by me. It contains many inaccuracies which the SMH should have been aware of. Additionally, the line 'my spokesman refused to comment' was actually a phone call to my office on a public holiday where she left a message on an answering machine that said the office was closed. At no time did she call me or my media assistant.

You don't want the truth and facts to get in the way of a good smear in an election year do you? Perhaps jessica Wright could do an in depth investigation on say, Senator Lee Rhiannon. You know, why she changed her name, what she was up to in the Soviet Union, her politics and "work" in Australia and her activities, etc, etc…

Nothing new there Andrew.I'm begining to think that maybe Fairyfact journos just don't have any comprehension skills at all.I just used to think they were extremly left wing biased,but now I just think they're uneducated morons who work as journos not because they have the skills but because they just want to.That idiotorial independence sure seem to attract some mongos don't it.

Wow...that's some interesting spin.

WTF are you to ask "What was Bernardi doing at such a conference anyway."
It used to be called "freedom of choice" but I suppose that disappears like "freedom of speech" when your comrades are in charge?
I'f this response is accurate (and not spin) and I have no way of knowing, Bernardi should sue for defamation

I sometimes believe Albanese should have been born in Brookland or the Bronx--Maybe he could have been a????????????.( Sorry,I get a bit stupid now and again )He would have been nothing!!
Why am I not suprised about incorrect articles in the Fairfax newspapers, thank goodness we have the internet to find out the truth.
Wed 30 Jan 13 (07:42am)
Not just Fairfax.
A story was run in the Adelaide-based News Ltd papers.
Wed 30 Jan 13 (08:11am)
I have noticed Sky News Australia has also been trying to stir the pot in regards to Mr Bernardi. However, if the Fabian Socialist connection of a large number of ALP politicians is mentioned, most of the media treat this matter as a joke.
Wed 30 Jan 13 (08:37am)
Wed 30 Jan 13 (10:01am)
Very true.
The Fabians are despicable, as are the Emily Listers.
However at issue here is not the group but the pathetic and untrue reporting regarding the group.
Fairfax likes to think it is better than News Ltd yet ends up doing all the things it accuses its rival off. In this story we have a misleading headline followed by smears and innuendos based on half truths. The tobacco seminar claim is an astonishing misrepresentation of the truth, one I suspect the gullible Ms Wright was fed rather than from her own imagination.
Another nail in the coffin of Fairfax credibility.

Ms Wright is a slightly ironic warning to men everywhere.

It wasn't just Fairfax. The Adelaidenow website(a well known haven for lefty journalists within News limited) took down the comments on the article when it was quite obvious there was enormous support for Bernardi.
I complained, through comments that on the same page that comments were allowed about Bernardi, there were no provisions for comments on Labor MP Steve Gibbons inane Australia Day Twitter comments, despite there being comments on all other types of crap. Shortly after, all comments were removed about Bernardi. This shows why SA has had 30 years of Labor in the past 40.

"The Heartland Institute also is not a lobbying organization, but rather an independent nonprofit research organization or 'think tank.'
Yeah - right.

Cory Bernadi is being targeted for a very good reason.....he represents the views of a lot of people. Labor wants to shut him down before everyone catches on that he WILL NOT BE CORRUPTED BY ANYONE.

Sorry Andrew but your own publication and The Courier Mail are no better. Last week running an article on his links to some group in the US and listing comments he has made in the past. As if either matter relates to the other. You shouldn't be so critical of the Fairfax agenda running when News Ltd Mastheads are just as bad, or at least you should be as critical of the HS & CM as you are of Fairfax.

It has been a while since I have posted (like a year) but I needed to get feedback on this: My 22 month old was in for her checkup today and we saw a doctor which we had never seen before who was about 65 years old.
He started off the visit asking me if I was going to have a baby every 8 months from now on (my two kids are 8 months apart) to which I said "no no" and kind of chuckled.
He then examined my daughter and right after said, "Here is something funny....You know, in 30 years she will be 32 and I will be 92. She may be looking for a sugar daddy. I could be your son-in-law. How weird is that?"
I kind of laughed nervously then glanced at my mom who was in the room as well and saw her eyes get huge and look at me like, "WTF"
I then felt strange and started to get her dressed. He examined my son with no weird comments. Then I asked if her weight and height was on track and he said, "Looks like she will be tall and thin like her mother. Some people would kill for that body"
Then as he was leaving he said,
"Remember....in 30 years...tell her that I didn't give her any shots today...."
Ummmmm, please help ladies. Should I call and report him to the medical group? I am stumped and grossed out.
