Union-Busting: Six Fired After Demanding Sick Days for Fast-Food Workers
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Six key organizers with the Jimmy John's Workers' Union in Minneapolis were fired on Tuesday, March 22, after putting up posters around the city demanding paid sick days from the sandwich chain. According to David Boehnke, one of the discharged workers, the six workers received notices that they were fired for "defaming the brand and disloyalty to the company."
The Jimmy John's Workers' Union, which is affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), garnered national media attention last year, as it would have been the first union in the American fast food industry. These workers' struggles could have implications for the entire service sector.
The firings come in the wake of a National Labor Relations Board settlement which threw out the results from an October 22 union election that the Jimmy John's Workers' Union narrowly lost, 87-85. In filings with the NLRB after the elections, the union alleged that the Mulligans, owners of the Minneapolis franchises, had threatened to freeze wages, falsely accused union supporters of sabotage, and engaged in other illegal actions prior to the election. The settlement allowed the union to call for a new election anytime in the next 18 months.
Over the past two months, union supporters had been campaigning to get the Mulligans to negotiate over their "10-Point Program for Justice at Jimmy John's," which includes wage increases, guaranteed hours, and better job security. Recently, they had begun to emphasize their demand for paid sick days, wearing buttons that said "Sick of Working Sick" and beginning to put up posters around the city.
The posters show two identical sandwiches, asking, "Can you tell which sandwich was made by a sick worker?" According to Boehnke, the union's goal is to "make clear that workers are being forced to work sick" thanks to the lack of paid sick days, which endangers the health of customers.
The union says that workers have trouble calling in sick both because they fear being disciplined and cannot afford to miss out on a day's work, since many workers earn the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
In a press release from the union, Micah Buckley-Farlee, another one of the fired workers, said, "It just isn't safe - customers are getting their sandwiches made by people with the flu, and they have no idea, and now we're getting fired for blowing the whistle on this disgusting practice."
The National Labor Relations Act expressly forbids employers from firing workers for attempting to organizing a union. As part of the NLRB settlement agreed to in January, the Mulligans agreed to put up notices in all their franchises explaining workers' right to form a union. Among other things, the notice stated, "WE WILL NOT discipline employees in retaliation for their union or other concerted, protected activities."
According to a study by Kate Bronfenbrenner, Director of Labor Education Research at the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations, employers fire workers in 34 percent of all union organizing campaigns.
She notes that this trend has gotten worse in recent years. In a 2009 Washington Post editorial titled "A War Against Organizing," Bronfenbrenner writes, "Employers are more than twice as likely as they were in the 1990s to use 10 or more tactics - including threats and firings - to thwart workers' organizing efforts, and they are more likely to use more punitive and aggressive tactics such as interrogations, discharges and threats of plant closings."
Jimmy John's is a national sandwich chain based in Champaign, Illinois. Its founder, Jimmy John Liautaud, recently sparked controversy when he announced he was considering moving the company to Florida or Indiana after Illinois raised its income and corporate tax rates.

TOMAHAWK, WI (WSAU) - A Tomahawk man is at the University of Wisconsin Hospital Burn Center for treatment after a plant accident Tuesday morning at the PCA Tomahawk Mill. PCA's spokesman Dave Blank says 53-year-old Mike Slesicki was reigniting a coal and bark boiler using standard operating procedures when it flared back and burned him.
Blank says the boiler was down for routine maintenance, and was being put back into service when the accident happened at 9:40 a.m. PCA is conducting an investigation of the boiler and circumstances around the relighting accident.
Slesicki was flown to Madison for treatment. Blank says his family is with him.
University of Wisconsin Hospital was unable to report Slesicki's condition late Tuesday.

What's New in Diet and Nutrition Trends
Experts weigh in on the latest food and diet trends.
By Colette Bouchez
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
Our fascination with self-improvement shows no signs of waning, and there's no shortage of new diet trends aimed at helping us meet our health goals. Watchers of food and nutrition trends say the road to better health is paved with new possibilities -- along with some old ones that are poised to make a comeback.
While the trend for low-carb diets appears to be past its prime, according to experts, trends that are on the way up include:
"The biggest trend I see is a back-to-the-basics approach -- getting away from highly processed foods and back to whole foods," says nutritionist Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, a national spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
Similarly, trend forecaster Gerald Celente predicts a turn away from the "strictly weight loss diet book" and a move toward what he calls "whole health" eating -- diets that not only help us lose weight, but live a healthier lifestyle.
"We will focus our attention on those plans that provide us with 'recipes' for staying healthy in mind, body and spirit," says Celente, publisher of The Trends Journal and director of TrendsResearch.com.
"Functional foods" will be another trend, adds Sass, co-author of Your Diet Is Driving Me Crazy: When Food Conflicts Get In the Way of Your Love Life.
"Food as medicine or functional foods will continue to grow -- foods that heal, foods for prevention, anti-aging foods, foods for specific health issues, foods as nutrition therapy," she says. "Foods will be increasingly marketed this way to consumers."
More Diet and Food Trends to Watch
Here are three other trends experts say they expect to grow.
Some food experts say we'll be looking to exotic spices and side dishes to perk up our diets.
"Americans have become more open-minded about different tastes and flavors from the world," says Greg Drescher, senior director of strategic initiatives at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y.
This will not only mean tastier meals at home, but healthier restaurant eating, too, Drescher predicts.
"When restaurants first rolled out health initiatives, sales collapsed for items marked 'heart healthy,'" says Drescher, who coordinates the institute's annual Worlds of Healthy Flavors conference held in conjunction with the Harvard School of Public Health.
"But thanks to the convergence of America's growing immigrant population, interest in culinary adventure, changing palates, and the availability of diverse ingredients, the food industry can meet health challenges with full-flavored cuisines."
Drescher says he expects to see both home and restaurant cooks using more ingredients like:
2. Location, Location, Location!
If a location is known for thin and glamorous people, then eating what they eat will make us thin and glamorous too, right? We're not so sure, but some experts believe we can expect to see lots more books about diets based on places.
"Forward-thinking diet experts know that readers will have positive associations with places," says Cathy Lewis, whose media firm has been tracking location diet trends for the past year.
"That's why we connect The Miami Mediterranean Diet with buff, sun-kissed roller bladers and the Nantucket Diet with svelte, well-bred sailboarders."
Lewis notes that the publishing industry has been through the diet gurus, and is now turning to authors who create brands not based on themselves, but their locations.
It started with The South Beach Diet and French Women Don't Get Fat, and has continued with The Sonoma Diet and Japanese Women Don't Get Fat or Old. Lewis said other locale-based diets are sure to follow as Americans continue to search for a thinner, healthier culture to copy.

In 1998, Walter Kirn volunteered to deliver a severely crippled hunting dog from his Montana home to its prospective adoptive owner in New York City, a scion to the Rockefeller fortune who learned of the injured Gordon Setter via the Internet.
Kirn's willingness to transport the wheelchair-bound hunting dog was far from a noble act. The restless young novelist's marriage was fraying, and Kirn was titillated by the possibility that this nascent friendship with the secretive, eccentric Clark Rockefeller might one day yield inspiration — or material —for a new book.
Author of the critically acclaimed Up In The Air and Thumbsucker, Kirn eventually got a book out of the relationship, but Blood Will Out is certainly not the novel he originally envisioned.
Fifteen years after their bizarre first encounter, Kirn sits in a California courtroom and watches as his former friend — now known by his birth name, Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter — is unmasked as a shapeshifting sociopath, serial imposter and brutal murderer. Gerhartsreiter came to the United States from Germany in the late 1970s as a high school foreign exchange student and disappeared for the next 30 years in a dizzying array of outrageous aliases. He claimed to be a film student, a descendant of British royalty, a Wall Street banker and a film producer en route to becoming the dog-adopting, art-collecting society swell Clark Rockefeller.
He was a parasite's parasite, fueling the trappings of high-born living with chutzpah, sleight-of-hand and white-collar fraud. He rarely picked up a check, never paid taxes, never maintained a credit card or bank account in his own name, trading off the Rockefeller name to gaining entree to prestigious private clubs while mooching off a series of pliable, sad, well-employed women. His art collection — all of it forged — included Rothkos and Motherwells.
The charade imploded in 2008 when he was arrested as Rockefeller for abducting his 7-year-old daughter during a custody dispute and was subsequently charged with the 1985 murder and dismemberment of his former landlord's son.
Riveting and disturbing, Blood Will Out is a mélange of memoir, stranger-than-fiction crime reporting and cultural critique. The literary markers run the gamut from James Ellroy's My Dark Places, and Fyodor Doestoevsky's Crime and Punishment to Patricia Highsmith's Ripley trilogy and Strangers on a Train. Kirn's self-lacerating meditations on class, art, vanity, ambition, betrayal and delusion elevate the material beyond its pulpy core.
What was it about the faux Rockefeller's personality that lured Kirn — and countless friends, acquaintances and lovers — to repeatedly ignore the glaring red flags about this unctuous grifter? Kirn is not a naïf. He has worked as a journalist for Time and a freelance reporter or essayist for The Atlantic, New York, Esquire and The New Yorker. He has written at length about his middle-class Midwestern roots as he encountered multigenerational "old money'' at Princeton and Oxford. He harbors a basic understanding of Google. And yet, for almost a decade, this witty, erudite talent let the bogus Rockefeller tell whopper after whopper without a whiff of fact-checking skepticism. After Gerhartsreiter was captured, Kirn was still so loyal and so deluded that he publicly lambasted the Rockefeller family when they (accurately) denounced his friend as a poseur.
Kirn's belated acceptance of reality provides the most fascinating and frustrating element of this engaging, self-flagellating memoir. Even as Kirn exacts some form of literary revenge on his imprisoned ex-friend, you have to wonder how a writer this accomplished and smart could be so unquestioningly stupid for so long.
Rockefeller claims to own a secret jet propulsion lab in Canada? Sure; why not? Rockefeller claims to be acquainted with the notorious hermit J.D. Salinger? Sure; why not? Kirn witnesses Rockefeller's pets urinating on purportedly museum-quality paintings that this kooky, latter day Thurston Howell III was too lazy to even hang on the walls? Sure; why not?
Readers may be willing to let Kirn justify some of this intellectual sloth to vanity, prescription drug abuse and a bruising custody fight with his ex-wife, but even so, these weren't tiny, random blind spots. Over a decade, Kirn dug Marianas Trench-quality chasms of willing disbelief.
"What a perfect mark I'd been," Kirn writes. "Rationalizing, justifying, imagining. I'd worked as hard at being conned by him as he had at conning me."
After finally embracing the painful truth, Kirn dives down bottomless Internet rabbit holes and tries to glean some revelatory post-conviction confessions in jailhouse interviews that yield far-from-climactic results: "...(I)nvolving yourself in the life of a great liar, once you understand that he's a liar but go on seeking the truth from him, is a swan dive through a mirror into a whirlpool.''
Larry Lebowitz is a Miami writer.

Fit like a glove was just a saying... Until I found these bad boys. Love these shoes like a whole lot. They are the perfect amount of sole for a barefoot shoe and the lace system ensures they fit snug but comfy around your paws. I put them on first thing and was showing off to the pooches in my home at how I could run faster and jump higher. Talk about wings for your feet. Lightweight, but sturdy- these shoes fulfilled my wildest dreams. My pooches will never outrun me again. Vibram soles, merrel shoe really what more could you ask for? Also the snazzy color is pretty great. Already getting compliments like mad- do if you like that sort of thing stop reading this and by these beauties already! Perfect cross trainer. Go to the gym, chase the dogs (or kids whichever you prefer) and take a jog! These shoes are flexible and are a treat for your feet. Seriously.... Are you still reading? Go make the decision and get yourself a pair from Moosejaw.com and you can thank me later!
This shoe is super comfortable. It's like walking on clouds all day. I never take them off well only too sleep. If you are looking for a comfortable, light weight shoe, that will get you lots of compliments while doing what you like. This is the shoe to get!!
I tried on both the Pace Glove and this one. Decided to stick with the Vapor Glove because it definitely felt much more "barefoot" to me. It lacks any supportive strips of material around the sides or front of the shoe, which is a plus for me--that stuff always ends up digging into the sides of my feet, and was the main reason why the Pace Glove didn't work for me.Runs true to size. I wear an 8 and this fits well without socks or thin socks. These shoes are quite flexible in terms of width thanks to the minimal mesh construction and laces. So far I've found them very comfortable and haven't had any foot or leg pain. No irritation or rubbing either--they fit like a glove!
Best shoes I have ever bought! They really do make your feet and legs stronger. I found them surprisingly comfortable and durable. Super flexible and they fit more like a sock than shoe. By the way they look way better in person than in the picture! Love, love, love them!

This conversation is closed.
Are you living before you die? Are you living off your passion?
Hello Ted world! It's great to be back again! Recently, I have been doing some soul searching, thus, I have been asking myself a lot of questions. And when I ask myself deep questions like that, I like to ask other people the same questions to sort of, if possible, look at things from a different perspective, and in the process learn about people. I have talked to a lot of people lately, especially adults. I am 17 by the way. I have talked to all my teachers, parents of friends, went to a retirement home to talk to some much older adults there. And before I share some of what I've learned over the months. I really wanted to get your opinion. So if you don't mind, I would more than appreciate if you could please answer these following questions. I want you to be as honest as possible. If you feel uncomfortable doing so in public, but still would like to share, please, feel free to email me: email@example.com.
The questions:
1- Do you believe that you have a purpose in life?
2- If so, what is your purpose?
3- What are 2 things that you regret?
4- What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
5-What are some of the things holding you back in life?
6-What is your definition of success?
Don't have to answer all the questions, however, I would love it if you did, but don't have to!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) Can't wait to read all the answers!

Mar 31 2013: HELLO FONKOU......nice to see you again:>) Looks like you have been doing lots of exploration.....good job!!!
1. Yes
2. To learn, grow, and evolve as an individual while contributing to the whole.
3. I regret nothing.....regret uses too much energy that can be used for learning and growing.
4. I would do exactly what I am doing. In my humble perception, there is no failure.....only exploration.
5. No thing is holding me back in life.
6. Being in the moment with kindness, compassion, empathy and unconditional love.
I cannot wait to read YOUR answers Fonkou, which I sincerely hope you will share:>)
Apr 1 2013: Hi Fonkou,
You seem like a sweet person as well, and I've enjoyed your explorations in TED conversations:>)
Yes, I am honest with my answers to your questions:>)
Having no regrets, and thinking that I might have done something differently are different in my perspection.
Regret: "to mourn the loss or death of; to miss very much; to be very sorry for; grief or pain tinged with emotion; an expression of distressing emotion; disappointment..."
I do not spend time and energy on those emotions/feelings for a past event. As I continually evaluate information and lessons I've learned in the life adventure, sure, there are things I may have done differently. However, I did the best I could with the information I had at any given time.
As I grow and learn, it does no good to focus on what I could have done and regret what I did. In my perception, every moment in the life experience is an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve. If I spend time and energy with regrets, I am focusing on the past, and the heart and mind are not open to exploring the present moment.....make any sense?
Apr 1 2013: I understand what you said with perfect clarity! While reading that though, it reminded me of a woman I talked to a while ago. She was around her 50s. While in the conversation, I noticed that every time I gave her a compliment, she became uncomfortable and quickly moved on to another topic. I noticed it and pointed that out to her. By then she broke down, and talked about how she spends her whole life trying to be the absolute best person she can be, but every time she does one negative thing, it's all people remember. Then she went on to tell me about all the regrets she has. It was very clear that this woman lived in the past. And will continue to do so for a very long time. Very sad, just thought I would because that's what I thought when I read that! :)
Apr 1 2013: Fonkou,
Unfortunately, many people orchestrate their lives based on what OTHERS remember or may think about them. Perhaps that is one factor that fuels the feeling of regret? Trying to make sure that s/he pleases other people?
At the end of the day, what is important to me is how I feel about myself. A huge lesson and example of this happened years ago when I challenged a toxic business in our community. As the whistleblower, I brought the situation to the attention of the local governing board, state environmental board and USEPA.
The owners were in violation of local, state and federal environmental laws....they had NO permits for ANY business, much less a toxic business in the middle of a residential area in the village. The owner was the chair of the local permitting board.
My life was threatened, and because these folks lived in the community all their lives, it seemed like EVERYONE supported them, and I felt like public enemy number one. It was said that I was just tryng to "ruin" them because I didn't like them....lots of stories like that circulated.
Because I was threateded and warned to "drop" the issue.....get the hell out of town.....watch my back....etc., I was afraid to go out into the community. I used to walk in the woods every day, and I stopped because of fear.
It was the first time in my life I did not feel liked or accepted by a group of people. It took several years to resolve, and I kept asking myself....do I want to be liked, and feel safe? Or do I want to do what is right for our environment? Over and over again, the answer was that I need to do what I feel is right for the environment, and if I am threatened, never feel safe or liked again, it is ok.
The business was finally ordered by the environmental court to vacate the site, and as soon as that happened, some people started speaking in favor of what I did. It took some folks many years to understand the ramifications of of the business and my reason for taking action.
Apr 1 2013: Dear Fonkou,
I am honored to participate in this conversation, in which you have asked some VERY GOOD questions that impact all of our lives. I did not come to the earth school to be complacent, and I like exploring. If everyone asked the insightful questions you have asked, and were more mindfully aware in him/herself, we might have a more peaceful, content world:>)
Are we REALLY living life with passion and purpose, without regret? What, to us as individuals, is failure and success? What does it mean in our everyday lives? These are GREAT questions!
I am VERY impressed with your insight, and with all the young people who contribute to TED in such a meaningful way. It gives me hope for our future...thank you Fonkou:>)
Apr 1 2013: Thank you Colleen! I really do try. I am always asking myself the big questions in life. That's all I'm about. I feel as though if we all participated in the same conversation, then the world would be a much better place. But unfortunately, the majority of people do not think about such things. Which is why I want to be a talk show host. I can relate to different people. Through that, I hope, I will get the world, if not, then just the U.S to get involved with what happens at Ted.

News Pages
This tutorial will show you how to manage your news pages.
News pages have 4 main components: settings, categories, articles, and subscriptions.
Settings allow you to change some of the parameters of your news page. For example, you can choose the number of articles to display, whether or not you want article summaries to appear, and much more.
Each news page must have at least one category. By default, your news page will be setup with a category named "General". You may rename this category as you see fit. If your news page only has one category, the front-end news page on your website will not display the "Category View" section.
Your news page may have an unlimited number of articles. Each article must be associated with at least one category.
News subscriptions allow your news page to subscribe to other news pages. This will make the articles (and categories) from the news page you are subscribing to show up in your news page. You may subscribe to news pages that you do not have access to, but subscribing does not give you access to modify those articles. Your news page may have any number of subscriptions to other news pages.
Permissions to Access to News Pages
A news page must be requested by the Main Site Contact and that person should email email@example.com to request their news page(s). Permission for users to access new pages should also be placed by the Main Site Contact. But, access to news pages is controlled separately than access to OU Campus - so if additional people would like to receive access to modify articles for your news page, a request should be made by the Main Site Contact for your site, or the Department Head/Dean/Director of your department.
When requesting a news page for the first time, please provide the following information:
- The address of your website
- The current folder in your website where you would like the news folder and pages placed
- The email addresses of the people who need to be able to manage the news and it's components
Step-by-Step Guide to Accessing News Pages
- You can login to the OU Add-Ons App in one of two ways. First, you can access the
OU Add-Ons App through the Add-Ons tab within OU Campus. You will be required to
login to the OU Add-Ons App with your NetID username and password even after logging

Hi, i think that i saw you visited my blog thus i came to ?return the favor?.I'm trying to find things to improve my site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!
This is a topic that's near to my heart… Cheers! Exactly where are your contact details though?
Hi Dear, are you actually visiting this web page daily, if so after that you will without doubt take good know-how.
Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your posting. I would also like to say that the first thing you will need to complete is to see if you really need credit repair. To do that you must get your hands on a copy of your credit file. That should never be difficult, considering that the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to have one free of charge copy of your credit report each year. You just have to request the right people today. You can either browse the website with the Federal Trade Commission or contact one of the leading credit agencies right away.
I was just searching for this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this kind of informative sites in top of the list. Normally the top sites are full of garbage.
Hi there, simply changed into alert to your weblog via Google, and found that it's truly informative. I am going to be careful for brussels. I'll appreciate should you proceed this in future. A lot of folks will be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Leave your dogs at home.
That's what the DNR is telling hunters who will take part in Wisconsin's inaugural wolf hunt.
The season will begin in 11 days – but a Dane County judge has issued an injunction against the use of hunting dogs to help track down the wolves.
The DNR will try to overturn that injunction – and the agency said today that a court hearing on the matter will be held December 20th. So at least between now and then, the DNR said hunters cannot train or use their hunting dogs to pursue wolves.
Environmental and animal rights' groups say there's a risk of violence by the wolves against the dogs – and it could result in animal deaths.
The DNR has said it had no choice but to allow hunting dogs, because the legislation which created the wolf season did not ban them.

If we don't let go the past
the future will not come so easy,
so many time we go wrong
many time we are right
yet we are not perfect
need to forgive others
that hurt us,thou heart may remember forever
heart may not want to give chances any more any longer
we need to move on without the past
we maybe taller than a tree yet we cant see the future
it is covered by the cloud
the future is many distance away
hard to believe,hard to see
everyday we try harder
everyday it goes longer
a plant today can be a beautiful flower tomorrow so dont up-root it
forgive and let go the past by-gun is by-gun,
give love a second chance

Step 1: Disassembling the ps2.
*NOTE* This will void your warranty.
Okay. Now you have it disassembled. . . Do not touch the power ribbon.
Step 2: Modding the hardware
Layer 2 or 3 pieces of duct tape around this so the cap is not visible. You can also use scotch or masking tape, but duct is recommended.
Once you taped it up, you can put your playstation 2 back together.
Step 3: Last step of modding
Take a 1-2cm or so of toilet paper or any tissue and roll it up a little ball, and stick it in the little hole. Open and close it a couple times to get it to stick in there.
Boot up your swap discs and start playing backups! I have been doing this method for months.
I don't see how this would work but
Does any one know if you can do this to the older fat models?
Why is that? As far as I know the most you can tell from the scph number is the ps2 version and region.
by this logic i could sprinkle gold dust in it to make it a super computer.
I downloaded swap magic and burned them into a dvd.. When i insert it into my ps2 it says please insert a ps2 format disk . Can anybody help ????
worked well for my sisters slim tho
but when i dissasembled my ps2.
It's not the same..
My PS2's model is SCPH-90002
Does someone know how to modify this kind of model?
I just put a screw into the hole for the stopper and cardboard into the one for the lid and it plays burnt games if i load with real one first.
I thought this step would allow u to not need a swap disk but it doesn't sound like it
See this video for a better explanation: www.youtube.com/watch
Just need a little help. I have a ps2 slimline scph 70003 PAL. I bought a swap magic 3.6 recently but I cant play my imports. So, I assumed that I need a flip top to play imports. Now, I saw the intruction on how to block the sensor, but i saw another video in which the person did the same without opening the console. he just uncensored the point A B and C. But here i see you asking to open the console ..am a little confused ..can anyone help ..thanks

(Warning: spoilers ahead!) Well, did you watch The Walking Dead tonight? Did you did you did you? Because holy crap, THAT's how you do a premiere. I know this show has kind of a reputation for starting out strong then petering out later in the season -- see also, CDC doomsday clock, the Endless Search for Sophia™ -- but let's hope season 3 has plenty more of what we saw tonight: legitimate tension, and survivors who appear exactly as effed-up as they would be in a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested scenario.
Now that Rick and the gang have left their farm-sitting, iced-tea-sipping, Shane-fretting days behind, things have gotten seriously hairy. And it's ABOUT DAMN TIME, if you ask me. Let's discuss what went down in tonight's premiere:
We open with a super-closeup of a walker's disturbingly milky eyeball -- then we see that our ragged group of survivors is sweeping through a house with military precision, dispatching zombies right and left. They have suppressed weapons now! T-Dog's impaling walkers like a boss! Daryl neatly arrows an owl for dinner! Carl's visibly weighted down with the burden of forced adulthood! Damn, this group has leveled up.
More from The Stir: 5 Reasons 'Walking Dead' Season 3 Will Be the Most Exciting Yet (VIDEO)
Well, except for how everything shits the bed, what with having to constantly be on the run from walkers and all. Also, the only canned goods they find is dog food, which Rick angrily hurls into the fireplace because he'll be damned if he's letting anyone live like some sort of filthy animal. They're going to divvy up an owl like civilized people.
Life is seeming pretty bleak for the survivors, especially Lori, who is now a trillion months pregnant, as evidenced by one of the worst stunt bellies I have ever seen. (Seriously, the FX team must have shot their wad on the corpses 'n' gore, because they clearly stuck a basketball under her shirt and called it good.) Luckily, while Rick and Daryl are out on a hunting excursion (must. find. more. owl), they spot a creepy prison that's crawling with walkers. Perfect! All they have to do is conduct an insanely bloody, ridiculously improbable SEAL-level mission in order to set up camp in the yard!
Whew, glad that's over with! Now we get to see some sexy action between Carol and Daryl. Finally, these two seem to be hooking up. Oh man, he's massaging her back, she's asking him if he wants to screw around, he's ... leaving?
"I'll go down first," he says, as he starts climbing down from their post.
"Even better," she leers, and that's that. WTF? Dude, Daryl, if you're waiting to find a hotter piece of ass, may I remind you that you are among the last surviving humans on Earth? I mean, you had owl for dinner, and she's still up for oral. COME ON.
Whatever on those guys. Back to the even sexier couple: Lori and Rick, whose relationship seems to be a little strained these days. "We need to talk," Lori says. "About ... things." Rick's like, oh you mean things like how the child you're carrying might be Shane's, the man who was my best friend, who I killed last season? Then he does four snaps in Z formation and storms off.
Damn, Rick, that was cold. AND I LOVED IT.
Now we cut to the katana-wielding badass we briefly met last season: Michonne. She's holed up in a deer locker with Andrea, who's got some sort of dramatic coughing-based illness. "Just go," Andrea hacks weakly. "I'll just *cough* *wheeze* hold you back." By rights, Michonne should behead her instantly for being such a battlefield cliché. Instead, they leave together, dragging Michonne's armless, jawless pet zombies along.
Back in the prison, Lori has a heart-to-heart with Hershel, and for the first time in the history of this show, I don't actively want terrible things to happen to her. She's worried about the baby, worried about giving birth ... and worried about what might happen if the baby dies while it's still inside her. Um, jesus, worst thought ever. Talk about your depressing birth plans: if possible, have aromatherapy candles during labor for relaxation purposes; also, avoid zombie infant clawing its way out of my flesh.
The group decides to explore the rest of the prison, which is horror-movie terrifying and drippy and dark and littered with half-rotted corpses. One of whom, unfortunately, decides to take a healthy bite out of Hershel's leg, and oh no, not Hershel. Happily, Rick has a plan! Unhappily, it involves gruesomely hacking off Hershel's leg with an axe to try and stop the infection. We're unclear on whether or not this impromptu surgery will actually save Hershel or not, but Rick does answer the question of whether or not a man's leg can be cut off with one clean blow: no. No, it cannot. Rick goes at him like a kid trying to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop: one, a-two, a-three ... (This despite the many, MANY scenes of knives and other objects being pushed easily through skulls, I might add.)
(Also testing my suspense of belief limits: Lori's third trimester self stuffed into skinny jeans. Did she make a trip to A Pea in the Pod, or, like, how's that working exactly?)
While Hershel passes out and everyone freaks, suddenly we notice the shocked group of prison inmates watching the whole ordeal. Living prison inmates, it seems, based on the fact that one of them accurately describes the scene thusly: "Holy shit." And -- fade to black.
Thrills, chills, and a total lack of annoying character navel gazing! Two blood-soaked thumbs up, Walking Dead. The long wait for season 3 was definitely worth it.
What did you think of tonight's Walking Dead premiere? Did you love it as much as I did?
Image via AMC
And it was 50% Hyundai commercials... but I'm excited still
I LOVED it like I knew I would! Can't wait for next week!!
I guess I'm the only one who found this episode so DISAPPOINTING!
The season opener was full of plot holes and all everyone can notice was Lori's unrealistic prosthetic belly?
Left me wanting more! Can't wait for next week!
YES!!! i was like "they arent wasting any time!!" and during a commercial i told the fiance "i cant wait to read Linda's recap!" I agree with everything you said BUT was i the only one who noticed Hershel's other daughter giving Carl THE EYE?! i mean she shot him a couple looks then told him the prison cot was "comfortable. you should try it..." I was like Whaaaaaaa?!
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

Picked up on time which was a great start. Everything from start to finish was organised so well. Would recommend it to anyone going to cancun!

This was seriously such a blast! We went on 5/28 as one of the things we planned for our first Mexico trip. Our tour guides were Benjamin, Paco and one other guide whose name I can't remember for the life of me, unfortunately! They were all so wonderful, so nice and made things 10x more exciting because of their awesome personalities--they seem to really enjoy what they do. The ride to the place was bumpy and interesting, but I think it added to the experience lol. When we got there, there was a short class and mini tutorial that was a little cheesy, but funny and of course helpful The first zipline was a little unnerving, but afterwards my boyfriend and I loosened up and had so much fun. After the 12 lines, we spent some time at a beautiful cenote that we got to swim in, and afterwards we had a delicious lunch with the best lemonade I've ever had! We had such an awesome time, thanks Selvatica for the unforgettable experience!

About Printing:
Each floor has at least one public printing station. When you print, your job goes into the print system and your printouts can be released from any print station on campus. You can also send to library printers from your wireless or wired laptop.
See here for instructions to configure your computer for printing to lab printers.
Before you can print, you must add value to your U-Card or "guest print card" at one of the cash-to-card machines (embedded in the wall near the Library's first floor restrooms). Outside of the Library, cash-to-card machines are located at the Kirby Information Desk and in the Swenson Science Building. If you do not have a U-Card, you can purchase a "guest print card" for $1.00 at any cash-to-card machine.
When you send a job to the print system, it sits in the queue until you go to a printer station, insert your U-Card or "guest print card" into the card reader, highlight your print job on the screen, and click "print." You also have the option to "delete." Your printout should emerge from the adjoining laser printer. (See locations at the bottom of this page). Print jobs not claimed within two hours are automatically deleted from the queue. To release your card, click the round "Log off" button.
Printing Problems:
If you have trouble with printing, card readers, or any other computer-related problems, see the ITSS lab consultant at the far-right side of the Circulation desk on the first floor. They can also be reached by phone at 218-726-8858.
What if I'm Using a Guest Computer?
To use a guest computer, you need a ticket. To print, you need a "guest print card" with money on it. The printing instructions will be the same from here to the bottom of this page, (see "Step-by-Step" below).
Step-By-Step Printing For All Computers in the Library
Step 1 - In your browser or program, click File / Print Preview. This shows what would be printed. From this you can decide which pages you need. Also, you can adjust margins or font size to pare down your page count.
2 - Click on Print.
|Step 3 - Go to a printer
Swipe your card through the attached card reader. [more about the new card system]
Step 4 - The screen will show a list of print jobs in queue. Highlight your job (print one at a time). Click Print at the bottom of the screen. Your printouts should emerge immediately from the laser printer. Click logoff.
What if I need help?
Print Stations are located on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors of the Library
First floor has both color and black/white available in front of the Circulation Desk
Second floor printer stations in the large "arc."
Third floor printers near the big staircase.
