Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Good comments as usual Scott.
I'm wondering where Anonymous' guild leader is in all of this. We had a somewhat parallel situation where people felt they were "entitled" to be in certain progression raids. "I feel I have earned a spot." The comments about being "entitled to raid" were made to non-officers, then to officers and finally to me. I discussed the situation with my officers and then posted to the front page of our web site my criteria for making progression raids. I didn't single anyone out but I made it clear what was needed for someone to be included in our progression raids.
I also acknowledged that, try as I might, there are "A" and "B" teams. That doesn't make you a poor raider, to be on the "B" team. It may mean, perhaps, your schedule does not lend itself to raiding on weekends. Our goal is to take anyone through content they want to see. But if we are doing progression, I do pick and choose who goes. There are some people are great in Tempest Keep but can't be counted on to follow directions in Cataclysm heroics. We rotate people through progression, giving them a chance to do what's asked. If they can't do what's asked, they don't go to progression raids.
It also sounds as if some of his raiders have what we've taken to calling the "Wrath curse". Thanks to, what I see as a lack of a learning curve in Wrath, there are some raiders who refuse to put in the time to learn their characters and specs and how these interact with the encounter. It sounds like, vaguely, there are people who expect to walk into a raid and just blow things away. Blizzard has gone back to the need to know what these buttons do, not to just spam buttons "1" and "2" while reading a book. Explaining to someone why they aren't going can get really dicey. I usually don't tell people how to play their toons but if a hunter is not CC-ing or has their pet on aggressive or if someone is not waiting for the main tank to pull, I have no problem pointing that out. "I can't bring you into a raid if you're going to do this. You need to unlearn that habit." One of my officers has a comment, "The sense of entitlement is strong in this one".
So, I would add to Scott's suggestions, have the GL step up and clarify what it takes to do progression raiding. Make sure the officers are ready to help those who want to do what it takes, be it with gemming or enchanting or running the heroics. Officers can also assess whether "X" or "Y" knows their toon. Plus, you'll get to know your guild members. That's not a bad thing.

Something happened in early 2011 that hasn't happened in decades, perhaps centuries - and we didn't even notice it. That is, we didn't see it for what it was. Massive unrest from Tunisia to Egypt to Libya rocked the Arab world and threw the globe into political crisis. Within days, an earthquake-tsunami-nuclear calamity of terrifying proportions shocked Japan and sent the world reeling once again, even as the globe's financial markets shuddered to sustain themselves while states and nations tottered on the brink of bankruptcy - where many still linger. All of this, of course, we did notice. What we may have missed was that ancient predictions for this period of time called for exactly this: simultaneous environmental, political, and financial disasters. Were we seeing the beginning of 'the end of history' - and not picking up the signal? In his prescient new book "The Storm Before The Calm", seven-time "New York Times" bestselling author Neale Donald Walsch offers a startling answer: yes. But Walsch also says there is nothing to fear, advancing an extraordinary explanation for what is happening even now all over the planet.Then - and more importantly - he provides a stunning prescription for healing our lives and our world through the answering of seven simple questions, inviting people everywhere to join in an earth-saving exchange on his website. Compelling and perfectly timed, "The Storm Before The Calm" answers every question that is worth asking about December 2012 and beyond.

Karen M Cunningham
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT-A
"I focus on the strengths inherent in each individual, couple, and family. My fundamental belief is that people are innately good and that psychological problems often stem from a rigid or outdated coping system. I stress each individual's growth and the importance of self-actualization. In couples' therapy, there is an emphasis on learning to listen to the emotional truth of the other, while gaining greater authenticity in expressing one's own truth. Through genuine appreciation of one another, couples can learn to re-create, or perhaps experience for the very first time, true understanding, connection, joy and love.

"My work is with adults in individual & couple psychotherapy. I am a generalist working with a wide range of goals & difficulties. This comes from my training working with people & process rather than with particular problems. There are common threads running through the human experience that make therapeutic elements such as listening, understanding, sharing depth of experience, & quality of therapeutic relationship healing with most everyone. I believe connection to others, community, spirit, & oneself to be fundamental in the problems people bring to me and in the solutions that emerge. Also that finding meaning in one's life is fundamental to satisfaction.

Sheila Smith
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
"Being a therapist has taught me that those who seek treatment are "stuck" in patterns of thinking, feeling and reacting that have not worked for them. Most know what the problem is, but not how to fix it. Would anyone take their car to someone who didn't understand automobiles and all the mechanical strengths and weaknesses of a car? A good therapist is first and foremost a good detective, looking for clues that are not always apparent. And secondly, a quality therapist has an innate sense of what must change to eliminate the problem and a plan that will work for that client.

Fire engulfed a Montgomery County home Thursday morning, and investigators are still working to determine how it started.
The fire was reported at a home on Dunbrook Drive.
"They kicked in the door, and it was - oh, my God - crazy," said neighbor Susan Clark. "Flames and black smoke filling out."
Neighbors said the homeowner is a civilian worker deployed in Afghanistan. The man's wife and teenage daughter weren't at home at the time of the fire.
No injuries were reported in the fire, and the family's pet was rescued.

Still Telling Stories
- Tuesday, September 01, 2009
Then on my bike tour, I met an 11-year-old girl [Payton Cram] who had cancer. I fell in love with her. Later, I flew back to Michigan to be with her during the last week she was alive. I asked her how she was feeling. She said, "At no point have I been mad at God. I'm not sure why, but I don't blame him. It feels lonely sometimes, but I never gave into the thought that he's turned his back on me."
I put those two stories together and made one song.
Schultz: Honestly, I think telling the stories behind the songs is what people love. This lady and her mom were at a concert. The mom wrote me a note that said, "Tonight, I was really struggling with my faith because my daughter has cancer. Then you told the story behind 'He's My Son.' I was about as hopeless with my daughter's cancer as I could be. After you sang the song, my daughter grabbed my hand and said, 'There's your hope, Mom.'"?
I sent [the note] to the dad whose son had cancer that I wrote the song about. I love that he could be a part of that story as well, to be a part of the victory. That is really living well.

Recipe Review: Mark Bittman's Four-Spice Salmon
Simplicity is key with summertime meals. And that's why turning to Mark Bittman's The Minimalist column is never such a bad idea, especially now that he's starting to make videos to accompany so many of his most popular recipes. And this summer, this particular recipe should really be your simple, go-to salmon.
The key to this recipe is to use a really nice piece of salmon. Since the preparation is quite basic, the quality of the fish is critical. Bittman suggests purchasing a large center-cut piece that you can slice into four even steaks.
What I love about Bittman's take on salmon is the warm blend of spices and the versatility of the dish. You could pair it with an Indian-style couscous, a big Southwestern green salad, or even okra and grits. It's not saucy or overly fussy. It's just really good, memorable salmon. And it's as easy as mixing up a spice rub with spices you probably have on hand at home, heating a little oil in a pan, and cooking your filets for a few minutes. On any busy weeknight, that's just what the doctor ordered.

What a good way to ruin a good peice of salmon. If you have a good peice of wild caught salmon- salt, pepper, done. The flavor is amazing. You don't really need much else.
However, if you have farm raised, go for it. The wrapper probably has more flavor.
I count five spices. It sounds good though, and I would try it for a twist. I usually just S&P, even on the corn-fed salmon.
Sure, most of the time. But now and then a little variety is good, no?

Tour A New York Home Built From a Ship's Hull
Ship Shape
Nature, it is said, abhors a straight line. If that's true, Mother Nature herself must covet Zoe Hoare and Chris Mead's cottage in Sagaponack, New York. "Nothing is straight, plumb, or level," says Hoare. "Take a look at our floorboards." The 14-inch-wide timbers indeed betray a slight curve, perhaps because the three-bedroom home was built in 1748, from a ship's bowed hull. Since then, the architecture has settled, so shelves tilt and doorjambs buckle, just as this forward-thinking, history-loving couple like it. "Perfection is boring," Hoare declares drolly.
In this photo: Mead removed the plaster between some rafters, allowing sun from the skylights to stream into the living area below. Upstairs, a 1950s Eastern European runner graces the mezzanine.
Living Room
Mead, the proprietor of interior-design mecca English Country Antiques in nearby Bridgehampton, discovered the house on his own a decade ago. He was attracted to the property: a full acre, enclosed by privet, mere minutes from the beach. The building itself, however, had fallen into disrepair, as two elderly, chain-smoking sisters had been occupying a single room for decades. But Mead, a photographer as well as an antiques dealer, saw how thoughtful renovations could enable the saltbox to sail into the 21st century.
In this photo: The living area's sea-themed tableau includes a Victorian pond yacht, a taxidermic seagull, and 19th-century art-student landscapes. Zoe Hoare stripped this antique French chair's tattered upholstery to reveal the fine construction beneath. Mead's shop, English Country Antiques, stocks the reproduction washing table.
Living Room Seating
Mead knocked down part of the first floor's ceiling and removed a partition that blocked off the kitchen—creating one large, sun-drenched room oriented around the hearth, where the 18th-century inhabitants had cooked and hung their kettles. Then he whitewashed all the walls, charred from hundreds of years of fires, in "Decorators White" by Benjamin Moore and laid in slipcovered, boxy-armed sofas and other choice pieces from his 10,000-square-foot store.
In this photo: Slipcovered in white denim, a trio of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams sofas offers ample seating. Hoare painted her dark, 19th-century Chinese coffee table to better reflect light.
Kitchen Vignette
Hoare's organizing trick? "Go around with a bin," she urges, "and free yourself of everything you don't love or need." If you find you have unsightly necessities, she advises, "decant them into charming receptacles," such as the empty lemonade bottles she uses for olive oil and the old canning jars that store coffee and spices, lined up together on the shelves above her stove.
In this photo: A simple shelf supports a beautiful and functional arrangement of cooking essentials. Hoare sells the lidded glass containers—old canning jars updated with French labels—at chezzoe.net.
Bright Idea: Recycle empty bottles as cruets by adding cork pourers and slate tags. (For similar pourers, $13.57 for six; amazon.com. Slate tags, $18 for four; thenewgeneralstore.com)
Bedroom Seating
This 1940s Gustavian bench turns a corner of the master bedroom into a reading nook. Above the mantel: a pastoral landscape, dating from the 19th century, and a wooden reproduction urn relief.
Bright Idea: Released from kitchen duty, French tea towels enjoy a cushy new gig covering throw pillows.
Dining Room
Sourced at a local salvage yard, the cast-iron stove heats up the dining corner. The Swedish-style side chairs, wrought-iron chandelier, and mirror (made from a window frame) all hail from English Country Antiques.
Garden Shed
Hoare drafted this circa-1900 oak woodworker's table into service as a potting station, then hung vintage pails and watering cans on the home's exterior wall.
How do the couple make sure their home stays glorious—or, as Hoare quips, "Why are we being featured in Country Living instead of on Hoarders?" Grouping like with like keeps curios in check—riding boots in one corner, stacked platters in another.
Chinese Cabinet
The couple stash their everyday glassware in a 19th-century oak Chinese cabinet, topped with a taxidermic seagull.
How to Display Collections
Hoare takes pleasure in composing "still lifes infused with romance, whether the objects are from nature, such as rocks and succulents, or compelling utilitarian pieces—watering cans, zinc clockfaces, and pine blanket boxes." Mead christens the look "glorious disarray."
Hoare tends to arrange items by shared color, even a muted one: Take, for example, the mango-and-rosewood hand mirrors, which visually rhyme with a cache of Belgian wigmaker's heads, all highlighted by a tarnished brass lamp. "The shapes differ, but the earthy colors unite," she says.
In this photo: Indian hand mirrors, dog portraits, and Belgian wig molds from the 1890s converge in a charmingly offbeat installation. Mead happened upon the 1910 butler's sideboard during a buying trip in England.
Bright Idea: Flank a portrait with hand mirrors to scale up the impact of both—creating a whole wall of "art."
Blue-and-White Collection
A single antiques fair yielded a windowsill's worth of French terra-cotta pitchers, glazed with sprightly stripes and spots. Hoare fashioned the darker pillow covers from Swedish textiles, the lighter pair from French tea towels.

Y'all can officially stick a fork in the 2011 NASCAR season, but it didn't end without a good ol' fashion peddle mashin' duel to the checkers at Miami/Homestead Speedway.
Take one part championship trophy, one part The Carl, add some Smoke, sprinkle in a little weather, and you've got a recipe for the closest race for the title in NASCAR history.
Tony Stewart swaggered into the last race of 2011 just 3 points behind Carl Edwards, which is already amazin' since Smoke had ta squeak into The Chase in the first place. But once the fox got in the hen house, it became a totally different story. Between trash talkin' and workin' his way through Whoppers and a twelver of Schlitz, Tony stormed to the front to win 4 of the last 10, including the clincher.
The Carl managed to lead the most laps and finish runner up to Smoke in the finale, but that was only enough to knot the overall points in a tie, which Stewart won in the tie breaker by having more wins. So ya lead the points all season, lead the most laps, finish 2nd, and you still end up First Loser for the Sprint Cup. It's a wonder Edwards didn't just floor it into the wall in turn 1 and end his misery. I'll throw the guy a bone though. He was by far the classiest pro athlete in history when it comes to losin' with grace. Meanwhile, Stewart fans were busy committin' alcohol-fueled crimes with firearms.
Whether yer a fan of Carl or Smoke, y'all gotta agree that there's a few things about 2011 we can ALL be a bit giddy about. Numero uno, our ol' buddy 5-Time caved under the pressure and was gloriously dethroned. Thanks for the memories Jimmie, and the millions of beers it took to erase them from my head. Second, we will be enjoying a Busch-Free Banquet this year, since Kurt & Kyle wound up 11th and 12th are will not be invited to join the Top 10 for the big ho-down in Vegas. I bet Carl can see the silver lining on that cloud, even if it was the one that rained on Homestead halfway through the race and screwed him outta achievin' his life long dream.
Keep yer head up, Carl. There's always next year. Unless yer Mark Martin and yer destined to always finish 2nd.

Teaneck resident Donald Byrd, an innovative jazz trumpeter who worked with scores of artists, died Feb. 4 in Delaware, the Associated Press reported Monday.
Byrd, a Detroit-native, was a longtime township resident, the report said.
"A sideman for many other jazz musicians of his generation, Byrd was best known as one of the only bebop jazz musicians who successfully pioneered the funk and soul genres while simultaneously remaining a jazz artist," an obituary posted on the Haley Funeral Directors website said.
He played with Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Max Roach, Thelonious Monk and Herbie Hancock, according to the obituary.
Byrd earned a law degree and a doctorate, and was an advocate for music education, according to a New York Times report. He was named a William Paterson University distinguished scholar and artist-in-residence at Delaware State University.
He developed a curriculum to merge math and music education, the AP reported.

HERC Is Flabbergasted By Tonight's ER!!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
I don't think I can watch this. One of the few emotional attachments I still have to this show is the fate of Mark Greene, the character Anthony Edwards has been playing since the show's beginning. If something terrible is in store for him, I think I may stop watching now and just save myself the grief. Shame, too. There was a time when I considered this to be the pinnacle of TV drama, week in, week out. Now it may be well told, but it's not a story I want to hear anymore. HERCULES THE STRONG, on the other hand, is digging it much, and I'll let him tell you why...
"The Dance We Do."
Abby uses these words to describe her relationship with her bipolar mom (still played by award-winning actress Sally Field).
Teleplay is credited to Jack Orman.
Prepare to hear your chin smack the floor.
It is! Even though I thought I read an NBC press release saying Thanksgiving's episode was the last to be letterboxed! When this letterboxing will end (if ever) is now anyone's guess!
It is not.
You will NOT BELIEVE the severity of Mark Greene's condition.
They were not. Mark Greene is in very big trouble. Very big.
About 14 minutes in.
He becomes to first to learn of Greene's terrible news.
He gets to confront his nephew's girlfriend, the one he blames for his nephew's gang-related death. She winds up in the ER after she is thrown from a speeding auto.
She does not. Dr. Weaver sits out this episode. But her fetching Thanksgiving dinner date puts in an appearance.
Also absent. Which makes this pretty much a villain-free installment.
Another no-show.
He is, but his role is largely relegated to sleeping with Abby Lockhart.
Corday gives her deposition on the mishap for which she's being sued. It is in these scenes that the show trots out most of its weekly parcel of top-notch guest stars. Zeljko Ivanek (TV's "Homicide") plays her tormentor, Matt Craven ("Crimson Tide") her counsel.
Mark tells Elizabeth the bad news, and Abby, in her jammies, has a good cry.
The Hercules T. Strong Rating System:
**** better than most motion pictures
*** actually worth your valuable time
** as horrible as most stuff on TV
* makes you quietly pray for bulletins
See you at Numb-A-Thon, Ya Little Wiener Dogs There!

You missed the episode because it hasn't aired yet, silly... Greene does not die this season. Anthony Edwards was even quoted as such in USA Today the other day. His contract isn't up until the end of next season, after which he WILL be leaving.

by Booyotch @ Work
I swear, they ALWAYS Have the shittiest things happening to Dr. Green... he is always getting the short end of the stick! Personally, I think it is the unoriginality of the writers always using terrible things happening to Dr. Green as a sure-fire way to get people upset... Need tension? Mark gets attacked in a bathroom.... Gets divorced... Loses his best friend... his wife.....His father....His daughter.... Susan rejects him.... A FREAKIN BRAIN TUMOR!!!! Gimme a break....

Is this true letterboxing? I mean, are these episodes being filmed using letterbox techniques or are they filmed as usually and then the top and bottom of the screen are cut off? I am extremely curious because I am on the brink of purchasing a widescreen television to complement my DVD collection and the continued use of widescreen on network TV will push me [happily] into the purchase. Could this be a new trend? First color, then stereo, then surround sound, and then widescreen. I hope so!

I'm getting tired of this
by Deathass
My wife and have been devoted ER fans, but we think the show is on the verge going "Con Air". That's my wife and I's code word for when a movie/show takes things to a new level of unbeleivability. In this season alone, a new tragedy has befallen a new cast member on a weekly basis, sometimes a tragedy hits 2 characters per week. IT's getting a little rediculous. No hospital in AMerica has this level of personal tragedy every week. It used to be the patients would have the tragedies, which makes since because it's an ER in a big city. But, in the last 5-6 weaks, cast membres have had to deal with a heavy bipolar mom (Abby), getting kicked down to a nurse because of funding problems with school (Abby), A nephew's gang related death (Benton), being fired for doing the right thing (Benton), being blackballed (Benton) Being re-hired under rediculous terms (Benton), Being sued (Corday), Being pregnant a an inopportune time (Corday), Being pregnant at an inopportune time (Chin), getting a brain tumor after getting engaged and learning you are having a baby(Green), having someone shot in front of you (Carter), continuing drug addiction problem (Carter), Killing an attacker out of self defense and nearly losing his job because of it (Luka). I'm sure their are more personal tragedies, but this is getting rediculous. I guess we should blame sweeps.
Dec. 7, 2000, 12:18 p.m. CST
Why are Abby and Luka together, anyway?
by Neutron Soup
Is it just me, or is there a decided lack of chemistry between Maura Tierney and Goran Visnjic? I have to admit, I never liked Luka all that much anyway, but the relationship seems awfully thin. I don't know if the writers are writing it that way intentionally, or if it's just not coming off they way they wanted it to, or if I'm just experiencing those occasional side-effects they warned me about during the clinical trials...
Dec. 7, 2000, 12:46 p.m. CST
by Johnny Q
... they always have bad things happen to Dr. Greene because it's meant as a tribute to David Morse's Dr. Morrison from St. Elsewhere. They even kind of look a like.
Dec. 7, 2000, 1:17 p.m. CST
About Abby and Luka...
by Doppler
...I totally agree. No chemistry. Now, Maura Tierney and Noah Wyle, there's chemistry. I think the Abby-Luka tryst is simply a smoke screen for the writers' real intention, which is to eventually pair Abby with Carter (a far more intriguing match, in my opinion).

They kill Greene and I am soooooo done with this show...
by I am_NOTREAL
I mean it. I only watch 2 dramas these days anyway and they had to replace Mulder on "X Files" or it would be only 1, "ER." Give me a break with all the biblical suffering for the character...he misdiagnoses a pregnant mother and she dies, then gets divorced...then Susan leaves...then he gets beat up...then his mother dies...then his father (in the same season!)...now this brain tumor business. Look, I know it happens in real life...I know people get brain cancer and other kinds of cancers, but isn't it kind of (how to say this without coming across as terribly insensitive)...disease of the week-ish? Especially when piled on top of these other things? Maybe it's time I gave up on "ER" and filled its slot with "The West Wing."
Dec. 7, 2000, 4:07 p.m. CST
Is it just me
by 2GOLD
Or do most of the new ER characters have egos bigger than a mack truck??? The show used to be about a hospital, patients and sometimes we toss in some doctor development. Now it's all about the doctors and the patients can all just die. And now they are going to kill of Greene??? This is totally weak! If Edwards and Noah go, I'm booking this show under must avoid tv. They are the last two characters who are remotely interesting (Benton kinda cool but he can't save the show alone)! Geez, can't we give Carter and Greene a break!

DarkHawke, it's called bisexuality... lots of people fall somewhere in between straight and gay on the continuum of sexual orientation. Plus, lots of people who consider themselves one end or the other sometimes experiment. Just because Kerry's interested in one particular woman doesn't mean she's automatically changed status or that she's renouncing men! On the issue of ER's increasing soapiness, there's been a lot of good discussion and analysis over at <http://www.digiserve.com/er/erdex.html>--and they post great, detailed episode summaries in case you happen to miss a show.

The scoop
by Doppler
Anthony Edwards contract is not up until 2002. Therefore, he will survive until at least May 2002. Edwards said in USA Today this week that he is leaving the show after his contract is up. Noah Wyle and Eriq La Salle also are signed up until 2002. Noah Wyle is probably going to leave at that time based on hints he has been dropping on talk shows. Carter is going to have a relapse next week. Jing-Mei is having her baby next week, after which she won't be on the show for several weeks (Ming Na's maternity leave, you know).

They Gave It All Away In Next Week's Preview
by Southron
Mark isn't going to die. He'll go for a second opinion next week, get a second CT scan and get some less drastic prognosis. This was basically all revealed in the preview for next week's show. Carter already told him to get a 2nd opinion. To nitpick their medical accuracy: Broca's area of the brain is not involved in speech recognition or formation of language. That happens in Wernecke's(sp?) area. Broca's area strictly controls the motor skills for speech (among other motor skills). At least, this is how my Mother the Speech Pathologist explains it. Strangely enough, Blair Underwood's character on City of Angels just got diagnosed with a tumor effecting his motor skills for speech. Coincidence?

this shows writing
by heed
Has gone to hell. People watched ER for two reasons: 1) the stuff that happens in the ER, and 2) the relationships between the characters. NONE of these characters are friends. NONE of them interact on a level besides bumping egos or having sex. What made this show great wasn't just cool episodes with 50 car pile-ups and the ensuing chaos. It was the relationships between clooney and goose, goose and the blonde doc, carol and clooney, carol and the blonde doc, etc. They interacted, they were friends, they didn't just react to each others traumatic event of the week. That is completely absent now.

gee, my skull feels tight with this inopperable brain tumor
by spunksf
Brain tumors as far as the eye can see. Yes, Mark will be ok, even if it requires intervention from on high. The drama is what kind personality disorder he's going to develop after his miracle next week. Hmmn, I smell a "born-again" phase coming on. What I'd like to know is, when did Abbey and Luka start doin' the do? I can remember a first date that didn't go very well, a few weeks of avoidence of emotional baggage, Sally Field screaming an awful lot... I think they might of had coffee last week, but I admit I can't remember. And now they're swapping bodily fluids and still not talking a hell of a lot. Yeah, I see a bright future for this relationship.

They're Fucking with us!
by mizuke
Don't you cry for Mark Greene, don't you dare. Those bastards at NBC are just fucking with us (shakes fist at bastards at NBC). My only question is: When will Benton or even Carrie Weaver, for that matter, ever get a chance to cheat death? Because by my count, I've got Mark surviving a severe bathroom beating, an overly-hyped helicopter crash, and now (potentially) a bout of inoperable brain cancer. Carter gets to survive a stabbing and a nasty addiction to pain killers. What do Benton and Weaver get? Natta! Come on, ER. Let's spread the misery out a little! (but seriously, tonight's episode was great, per usual.)

glioblastoma multiforme
by dondi
was the diagnosis, and it is basically a death sentence. In the real world, with surgery, the average life expectancy is 11 months or so. This is a good disease for TV because the writers can drag it out as long as they want (until the next sweeps period) and then drop the hammer. Dep. on how realistic the writers want to be, this would be an unusual disease to lay on him and then have him recover--it is rare to survive this (but plausible). The Enquirer had a "story" saying AE was leaving the show and asked for the tumor to kill him dead with no hope of reappearing later. I know it is the Enquirer, but they seem to be right just enough to make you wonder... I still hope they don't kill him. What a PR disaster that would be. There really aren't any other compelling characters left to fill that void. Ratings would take a big hit. But if he wants to leave, he will leave.
Dec. 8, 2000, 10:22 a.m. CST
by icedragon
I'm sure I saw something that they signed Edwards and Wyle to monster contracts right after Clooney left because they were tired of losing major characters ever season. I doubt they are going to kill him off 2 years into that kind of deal.

ER is still the best thing on TV
by beaoure
Oh, come on, obviously the drama-level is boosted 1000%, it's a friggin' TV show. People tune into ER because it's a great weekly drama. As if anyone would sit through a weekly drama that depicted the literal daily grind of an actual ER. It's true, the principals endure a lifetime's worth of tragedies every season, but, big surprise, real life isn't as riveting to a national audience. If any of you are watching the show because you 'really want something totally and completely realistic', maybe you shouldn't bother. I'd suggest going to a real ER and watching what transpires, but I suspect they probably have NBC on their TVs as well.

ERs are staffed by real people....
by Ninja Nerd
...some of which have real problems. Some of the TBer's are protesting the lack of credibility, bad karma overload, and so on. I worked in an ER for 3 years. As I recall...vividly sometimes...we pretty much had characters like the ones on the show. I knew nurses and docs with drug problems, saw marriages, divorces, relationships form and then disintegrate. Never had a shooting IN the ER, but many fistfights and at least one knifing requiring law enforcement and security responses. The human drama of the staff was every bit as interesting as the ones coming through the door. We had our share of miracles and tragedies. Malpractice? Yup. Heroism? In spades. In short, I like ER and don't think it's unrealistic at all.

Gideon's Crossing is TWICE the show ER is
by Portnoy
ER is such a has been show that Anthony Edwards would be outright stupid not to leave this sinking ship. If you're looking for the best medical drama on television, look no further than Wednesday nights at 10pm on ABC. Wednesday's Gideon's Crossing made last night's ER look like a UPN show.

ER=My Life?
by Ralphie
I can't believe no one's mentioned it, but the Green/Corday situation is strangely similar to the Michael Keaton/Nicole Kidman movie. A hardworking professional, played by a balding but attractive actor who made silly comedies in the 80's, finds out that he has terminal cancer. Meanwhile, his wife, played by a beautiful curly-haired actress with a Brittish/Australian accent, finds out she is pregnant. See what I mean? Man, if Queen Latifah shows up next week and Mark starts seeing a holistic healer, we'll all know what's next. Also, MIZAKE mentioned that Weaver has not escaped death, and I would like to point out that she did survive a toxic contamination that caused seizures. It was a couple of season ago in the episode where they had to evacuate the ER while Carter was in charge. I can't really remember Benton cheating death, though. Any one?

The problem: It's joyless
by Doppler
The only real serious problem I have with the show this season is that it's become almost devoid of joy. We do not get a sense of what personal satisfaction or uplift the doctors derive from treating their patients, any more. This was also a problem last season, but seems worse this year because of all the heavy plot events with the main characters. Abby is an OK character, but she almost NEVER SMILES. Her relationship with Luka is utterly joyless. They neither talk to each other or touch. I don't mind the increased emphasis on characters, but for God's sake, when they do have patient stories, remind the audience of the joy and wonder of being a physician. That is what the show was always based on. They can tinker with the storytelling formula all they like, but people will stop watching if the show just becomes a massive downer. People will sit through the shootings, muggings, explosions and brain tumors, but they will not stand for unabated doom and gloom.
Dec. 8, 2000, 1:05 p.m. CST
I stand corrected
by mizuke
Ok, so maybe Weaver has had her brush with death (thanks for the reminder, Ralphie), but I'm pretty sure Benton has been spared so far. Come on now, NBC. The man's been on the show from the beginning, yet not once has he been beat down, stabbed, shot, run over, bludgeoned, diagnosed with a horrible disease, thrown from an airplane, tied to train tracks, poisoned with deadly chemicals, set upon by a pack of rabid sea lions, or anything. Damn! Whats a brother got to do to be almost killed around here, anyway? :-)

loved it!!!!! However, NBC can't afford to lose Greene or Carter. They'll be in HUGE trouble if that happens. By the way -- the best show on television is THE SOPRANOS -- nothing else is even close. I suggest if you don't have HBO, get it if you can. JAMES GANDOLFINI KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!They're running the first an second season doing back to back episodes every Sunday night at 8 and 9 p.m. until the EXPLOSIVE new season begins. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Another word about GBM
by Aesculapius
Frankly, I will be disappointed if Mark Green survives this tumor. For those of you that don't know, glioblastoma multiformans is probably the most aggressive tumor you could ever get. It grows so rapidly that it gets ahead of its own blood supply. As a result, the center of it dies and becomes "necrotic" as stated in the episode. These things can double in size in less than 1 month. Chemotherapy is usually ineffective and radiation just slows the growth. Surgery usually can't remove the whole thing.....surgery just "debulks" the tumor to prolong life. The way people die from these tumors is usually brain herniation - the size of the tumor pushes the brain through the hole in the bottom of the skull. Bad news folks. Assuming the diagnosis is correct, his chances even with chemo, surgery and radiation are about 6 months. Long term survival is almost zero.

Gideon's Crossing BITES!
by samdu
I'm not an ER worshipper or anything, but it's a MUCH better show than GC. Andre Brauer is the ONLY thing good about GC. I was watching it the other night and couldn't bring myself to leave it on the channel because the other characters are soooo poorly acted and written. What's with the English chick that seems to have to concentrate on every word in order to speak? Ugh. BTW - Speaking of Anthony Edwards and Miracle Mile, it's an awesome flick. I understand why it didn't do well, but it still rocks. Check it out.

Misdiagnosis or set up for eventual departure
by Drath
As someone else said, Mark Greene has got a VERY serious illness that a real person WOULD NOT SURVIVE! Thus, he either has been misdiagnosed, which would be interesting, or he will in fact die at some point around his 2002 end of contract. If Anthony Edwards or Noah Wyle leave, I and a lot of other people will stop watching, and I think the producers know this. Maura Tierney's Abby Lockheart is the only new character I've enjoyed, and that's mostly thanks to Teirney's performance more than anything else. Why can't the show be about real people again and not incredible calamities left and right. What used to be great about the show was how it seemed authentic. Sure it was fake as hell, but it was a commendable illusion. Maybe the departure of Carol Hathaway and Doug Ross really WAS death, the writers don't seem to know how to continue without giving people hexes. But for now, all I have is the sentimental fondness of Greene and Carter(two characters I'd like to see develope and actual friendship with one another), and maybe now Abby. But either of those first two guys go and I won't watch, the backbone of the show will have left. The only original character left would be Peter Benton, and I'm surprised La Salle hasn't jumped ship already. He looks annoyed that he hasn't left for movies like Clooney. And I don't blame him, he could act circles around Clooney. But even so his character has lost focus(I HATE his "love interest" Cleo). Benton seems to exist just to give Ramono someone to torture. If La Salle, Wyle, and Greene all leave, who's he got left to torture--aside from maybe Corday again? I'd cheer him on if he tortured Luka, or Cleo, or Weaver, or Malucci.

Plan to cure? GBM is bad choice...
by Ranger13
I, for one, do not want Edwards to leave the show. But, speaking as someone who's wife died from a GBM six months ago (she was diagnosed 2 months before that...went from 1cm to all over her brain and eventually destroyed her brain stem - and she had a surgery to remove it, and started radiation), if they "cure" him I will be totally pissed off. Yes, there are a handful of folks who survive (usually through very severe means, like removing a few dozen square inches of brain tissue along with the visible tumor - which isn't even possible since they already said they can't do that when he was diagnosed). My god, recovering from psychological problems, addictions, divorces, etc, is one thing, but "magically" being cured of a disease that is for all intents and purposes completely uncurable would stretch it too much. I hope for the writers' integrity sake that Edwards *is* leaving and that they didn't write themselves into a corner.

Dear Lord, not just a tumor, but a zombie tumor.
by Village Idiot
That's got to be one of the most TERRIBLE things I've ever heard of: a tumor that dies as it grows. HOLY COW! Yes, I'm afraid ER will become the long, slow, painful, yet life-affirming (uh. . .yeah) story of Greene BITING THE BIG ONE. I'll bet Anthony Edwards can't wait (to STRETCH, acting wise). From a fan point of view, this is just TOO MUCH of a bummer. Like the Talkbacker above mentioned, Greene has been SHAT upon every season since the damn show started. Sorry, I can't take it.

Hey, Darkhawke
by Vince Tyler
Hey, Darkhawke: Your logic is flawed. So, you think the "homosexual advocates" (whatEVER, dude) should be upset because they've been arguing that a person either is or isn't gay and Weaver's story belies that? Hey, guess what? It doesn't. We live in a society that ASSUMES people are straight until they are forced to actively stand up and clearly articulate otherwise in order to satisfy the clueless dunderheads who don't get it. You know what that means? That means that a lot of people end up wasting a good portion of their lives trying to convince themselves that they're straight when, in fact, they're not, 'cause, in their minds, it seems an awful lot easier to stay quiet than expose themselves to ridicule and misunderstanding. A lot of people get all the way to middle age or later before finally giving up and realizing it's too painful to live with that kind of internal struggle all the time. On that timetable, Weaver's actually ahead of the game. You know what? It pisses me off that when a show like this takes a tiny, hesitant step toward enriching this character, developing her in a way that's interesting and compelling and actually goes a long way toward explaining a lot that we've seen in her for the last six seasons, people like you start screaming and running for the fire exits. Think it's "shit," do you? I don't. Makes you nervous that there's ONE other show out there that allowed ONE other character to fall for a girl OVER A YEAR AGO? Awww, too bad. That means that now there are TWO shows out of the approximately 130 on broadcast air that feature a little girl-on-girl action (if, of course, by girl-on-girl action you mean hugging passionately, but that's a whole OTHER argument). Don't like it? Don't watch. Society isn't crumbling, our values aren't falling apart. There are still, last time I checked, a few shows featuring straight characters. How many? Oh, right. ALL of them. Get over yourself, pick up a newspaper once in a while, pull your head out from the sand and take a look around. The world's still a pretty great place, even with Willow AND Weaver enjoying the company of women.

Good grief, Vince Tyler, talk about narrow-minded
by beaoure
Are you kidding me with this "almost no gays on TV thing"? What a joke. Every network has gone gay-crazy. It's a relentless fad. "Let's raise some eyebrows by introducing a... gay man! ...a gay woman! Whooo! Edgey! Alternative!" As if there's a whole lot of risk involved in this day and age in endorsing homosexuality. Hell, if you watch Will & Grace, you'd think there are only a handful of straight people left in New York. Virtually every incidental character is gay! If you REALLY want some interesting controversy, how about introducing a "conservative" character that takes issue with the morality of homosexuality... without presenting him or her as old, ugly, narrow, and stupid. If I think that being gay is a conscious choice based on the evidence I've read... and if I think that making the choice to become a homosexual is morally dubious... does that make me unintelligent? No, it makes me just another person enjoying the privilege of having an opinion, just like you. I'm not out to "keep gays off TV" or anything like that (nor, I'm certain, is Darkhawke)... however, I do think the notion that homosexual characters are such a struggling minority on network TV is ludicrous. Every day someone new on television is "coming out" or "experimenting".

My problem with ER this year
by usagi
Besides the general lack of joy on the show (as pointed out by a pervious talkbaker) is a glarring plot hole point- namely benton's firing. Here's the deal- I work in the hospital industry. There is no way Romano could have fired benton for what he did. All it would take would be one call by Benton to the IDPH (the Illinois department of Public Health- the guys who Benton called in the first place to rat Romano out) and Romano would be given a choice, A) Rehire benton or B) lose your Medicaid funding. Trust me, they lose thier Medicaid (even for a week) and they are screwed...they might as well shut down. There are law that protect benton from just what happened to him. For a show that used to pride itself on being accurate, I can't see how this one would have slipped through.

actually, the answer is no
by Elian Ranel
thinking that makes him have an opinion, which he is perfectly entitled to have, just as he said. it doesn't make him stupid in the general world view. however, if you choose to think that he's stupid for having an opnion, perhaps you should question your own intelligence.

opinions and ignorance
by Elian Ranel
lelon, if you are reffering to me in your comments there, i must say i'm insulted. i am neither stupid nor ignorant when it comes to gay people, considering my best friend is gay. and when it comes to anything having to do with human emotions or sexuality, there aren't really any facts anyhow. people vary. but i know i'm not going to change your OPINION, so why am i bothering?

Lelon and his blessed moral absolutes
by beaoure
Lelon operates from the assumption that his opinions and influences are "facts." And, that by ignoring the "facts", I am, therefore, "stupid." Lelon goes on to point out that my morals are in question and I'm probably a closeted homosexual myself. Don't worry, Lelon, I'm not threatened (nor, be assured, is my wife) by your accusations. Actually, I'm rather refreshed and encouraged. You're obviously a person of great passion in your convictions. But, what encourages me the most is how tightly you hold onto "facts". The word "fact", by nature, denotes an absolute. Truth defines untruth and vice-versa. Though you may not have considered it, the word "moral" denotes an absolute, also (and, by questioning my morals, you obviously believe that morality exists). Anytime "facts" and "morals" are brought into question, it means that the person doing the questioning is working under a larger, absolute "truth." Now, I'm not trying to philosophize you to death (stay with me, here), but, by your own words, you do believe in a standard. A governing truth that applies to more than just yourself or just myself. This means that, on issues of "fact", we cannot both be right if we disagree. I say homosexuals choose to be homosexual. If I want, I can choose to be one. You can choose to be one. It's your freedom. I'm as inherently gay as Ellen DeGeneres or Tom Cruise. So are you. Remember when Anne Heche was a lesbian with a capital "L"? Then, wonder 'o wonders... she made a different "choice." Apparently we're NOT slaves to our nature. We're gay if we choose to be, just like we're straight if we choose to me. I contend that this choice is a moral one. Operating under Lelon's absolute standard, I submit that homosexuality is "wrong." Lelon if you disagree, that's cool. That's your freedom. But, by your own unconscious admission, one of us is wrong. I think you know that I'm not unintelligent. You felt threatened, and you posted because of it. Don't sweat it, I don't blame you. But, again, one of us is right and one is wrong... my "opinion"? I think you haven't thought it completely through.

hey beaoure
by Vince Tyler
Hey, beaoure -- if you're going to quote me, do it right, and make sure the things you put in quotes are things I actually said. I also certainly never said anything about STRUGGLING. 'Cause, I gotta be candid with ya, dude...we're NOT struggling. We're getting stronger and louder and more confident every day. Sorry, 'cause I think your reaction, your assumption that I said gay people were struggling, was a little too quick. Would it make you more comfortable if we were weak and whining for acceptance? Ha, ha, too bad. I'm not waiting for anyone to HAND me respect, I'm TAKING it. And maybe that's what freaks people like you out most of all. How do I know? There are TWO shows on the air right now, TWO, with gay leads. Only ONE of those shows, "Will and Grace," ACTUALLY shows the gay lead having gay friends and DATING other gay people, but you're ready to make that an indication that TV has gone "gay-crazy." Think there are too many gays on TV? I don't think there are enough. Do a freakin' count if you like numbers so much. Heck, not just leads, include ALL series regulars. How many SERIES REGULARS play gay characters on TV? Seriously, take a second and start counting. Is it enough to make TV "gay-crazy"? Not by my standard. The airwaves are still pretty safe for straight characters, and THAT, by the way, is an understatement. Your standard for gay-crazy is, apparently, different than mine, yours is called reactionary: a relative handful -- a HANDFUL -- of gay characters show up and you're freaking out. Perhaps you're just really someone who would like all of your gay characters peripheral, campy, and, when possible, in a dress -- anything else and you're ready to start stomping your feet demanding to have the airwaves back and ready to call the networks gay-crazy. And you fall back on the old, charming chestnut of how we're morally dubious. Call us names all you want...all I can tell you is that if THIS is what you call gay-crazy, just wait. It's only gonna get worse for you, sweetheart. And I have yet to see any of the facts or evidence that you keep referring to. Citing Anne Heche is anecdotal at best -- and lame at worst (how about picking someone who doesn't have to answer to publicists and a viewing audience that, as you proved yourself, think of her not as an actress first, but as a "lesbian with a capital L" -- whatever THAT means?). And since you've opened the door to anecdotal evidence, I'll go you one better, and this one's actually relevant -- John Paulk. You remember him, right? Poster boy for the ex-gay ministry, hit the big publicity circuit a couple of years ago spouting pretty much the same empty, emotion-based arguments you're tossing out here, became a big celebrity for saying that he had CHOSEN not to be gay anymore, then got busted this year for sneaking around in a gay bar in Washington, DC. He couldn't help it, poor thing. Being gay is not a choice. THAT is a fact, and it's backed up by ACTUAL, scientific evidence. What IS a choice, however, is the way people DEAL publicly with those internal feelings. You can accept them or lie to yourself and everyone else. You, obviously, would have gay people stifle who they are, push it way down so it doesn't bother your delicate sensibilities. You want them to lie, which, to me, seems most morally dubious of all. Also...it ain't gonna happen. I wonder, of course, how YOU fit into this model of choice you keep describing. It it's true that being gay is a choice, if I sat myself down one day and specifically said to myself, you know, I think from now on I'm going to really enjoy getting sweaty with other men, then I guess that means you sat down one day and decided not to. You did, right? Because if you didn't, if you didn't spend some time thinking this thing al the way through, I guess that would mean you haven't really MADE your choice yet, which would be kind of weird for you (to say nothing of your wife). Finally, I'm not gonna say you're unintelligent, because I do not know you. Based on your posts, it seems like you're a fan of inductive as opposed to deductive reasoning, and I don't think that's the smartest way to think out an argument, but your intellignece is not for me to judge. I WILL say, however, that "edgy" only has one "e."

Dec. 12, 2000, 2:13 p.m. CST
by beaoure
Phew. Where do I start? Mm... First of all, "struggling." Yes, I inferred that you depict your fellow homosexuals as "struggling" for more airtime on network television. My question is: so, are you the underdog or not? My position is that you're NOT the underdog and, based on your most recent post, it seems that you agree. However, in your previous post, you were practically demanding that we see more gays on the boob tube. If you're all coming at us full-force, "louder and more confident," why are you worried about it? Apparently, you've got a beautiful, gay world to look forward to, so why should the comments of fools like me make a difference? ********** Would I rather you were weak and whining? Of course not. Have some dignity, it's still worth something, especially to me. Do I think there are too many gays on TV? Heck, I dunno. I do think it's a current craze, though. It's hip, that's all. And I'm wondering about your quote, "I'm not waiting for anyone to HAND me respect, I'm TAKING it. " Whoa. Huh. I, uh... I guess the old notion of earning respect went out the window, huh? Well, go ahead and "take" your respect, man. Good luck with the world. ********** And, yes, I'll concede that most people on TV are straight, for all the sense that argument makes. But, then, the percentage of straight folks in the WORLD far outweigh the percentage of those who've chosen homosexuality. It's like arguing that most people on TV aren't Guatemalan. It's true, very few Guatemalans... but, give me a break. ********** You also mentioned, "you're ready to start stomping your feet demanding to have the airwaves back..." Um, check the post, dude. I said it quite clearly, "I'm not out to keep gays off TV." They were never my airwaves to begin with. Nor were they yours. However, I am, still, allowed my opinion about what I see and what I like and what I believe. You seem to have yours, can't I have one? Or, do I need to be as "enlightened" as you first? ********** To continue, you mentioned, "And you fall back on the old, charming chestnut of how we're morally dubious. Call us names all you want...all I can tell you is that if THIS is what you call gay-crazy, just wait. It's only gonna get worse for you, sweetheart." Charming chestnut? Nice semantics, but, no, I'm intelligent enough to know that it's indeed a tough pill to swallow, as you've demonstrated. You say it'll only get worse for me? Really. How? I don't consider my view on homosexuality to be bigoted any more than my view that date rape is wrong is "bigoted." Some of the most delightful people I know are homosexuals. However, that particular choice of lifestyle is, in my eyes (and I'm certainly not alone) immoral. Am I comparing gays to rapists? No, not directly, I'm only comparing one form of immorality to another. ********** The Anne Heche example doesn't work because she's a famous actress? Good grief, I suppose I should have picked someone obscure to really drive the point home. Whatever, man. ********** As far as the medical proof that being gay is nature or nurture... dude, I've got volumes of science articles on my side and you've got volumes on your side. It all contradicts and we could go on forever with that sparring session. You think I believe the scientists I believe because I have a predisposition from my beliefs? I have to hand it to you, it's a good argument. You may be right. But, look in the mirror, Daddy-o, because the same applies to you. You believe the "proof" that supports your lifestyle and call it "fact." John Paulk? Never met the man, but I believe you. It actually reinforces my point. I'm sure he enjoyed his gay lifestyle, but, if I had to hazzard a guess, he probably eventually found it morally empty and spiritually unfulfilling. Even after "going straight" there are still choices to make. He was faced with the temptation (which I'm aware is a very real one) and he chose to slip back in. Either way, once again, a choice was made. ********** Would I have gay folks lie? No, honesty is an underappreciated commodity in these contemporary times. Most of all, I think homosexuals should be honest with themselves. REALLY honest. Would I have them "supress" their feelings? You know, it's interesting: by my reasoning, restraint and chastity are honorable virtues. Sadly, virtues that have all but fallen by the wayside in the wake of the maniacal pursuit of "self-expression" and "limitless indulgence." ********** Have I ever sat down and considered the options of my sexuality? Have I consciously decided to be "straight?" An EXCELLENT question, Vince. A very poignant question, as well. The answer is "yes." I have. I owe it to myself and to my marriage to consciously choose heterosexuality and to pursue it. And, yes, my sexuality is a pursuit. A rewarding one. ********** Inductive or deductive? You might want to reconsider which of us is the "inductive" one. Compare our posts. Also, I'M the one with emotion-based reasoning? Really. Nnnhh.... again, I'd challenge you to compare the posts. ********** By the way, I've far more spelling and grammar errors than simply the mistake on "edgy." If it makes you happy, and if it makes you feel superior, please, by all means, go find them and exploit them.

by beaoure
Yes, but we must try, musn't we? If we can't reason, what's the point? By the way, I'm not altogether in agreement with you about how we "erroniously refer to as secular humanism" the root of this discussion. In my estimation, secular humanism plays a very LARGE part of this discussion. Why is there something instead of nothing? Why has the issue of morality developed in every culture in recorded history? These are some of the questions the secular humanist must begin to reckon with. Is this philosophical volley like asking stones to float? Ah, maybe. Maybe.

DULUTH - Atlanta rapper-actor Ludacris has been added to the lineup for the Arena at Gwinnett Center's Megafest concert.He'll join rapper Busta Rhymes for a May 12 concert at the Arena. The concert, previously known as the Bay to the A Megafest, had been scheduled for Saturday, but the date - and name - has been changed with the addition of Ludacris. The event will now be called All Call - End of the School Year Megafest Tour. Rapper E40 is also scheduled to perform. All tickets for the previous show will be honored at the May 12 concert, arena spokesman Chris Hendley said. Ludacris, aka Christopher Bridges, released his latest album, the platinum-selling "Release Therapy," in September. The Atlanta-based rapper started out as a radio DJ on Hot 97.5 radio station. One of his biggest hits is the single "Stand Up," which appeared on the soundtrack for the movie "Honey." He won a Grammy for the single "Yeah," on which he performed with Usher and Lil Jon. Ludacris has also found success in acting, especially with critically acclaimed roles in 2005's "Hustle and Flow" and "Crash." Refunds for the Saturday show are available at the point of purchase. The All Call show will start at 5 p.m. May 12 at the Arena at Gwinnett Center, 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth.

5 options for creating mobile forms
Summary: Smartphones and tablets are rewriting the rules for mobile data collection and field service dispatch. Here are five solutions for getting organizes paperlessly.
I've been following the Facebook posts of dozens of my New Jersey region friends, some of whom were without power for upwards of two weeks after Superstorm Sandy. (Those are the lucky ones.)
Near my home up in Bergen County, the hundreds of utility trucks crowding the parking lot of the massive Garden State Plaza shopping mall bear out-of-state licenses from far-flung places such as Oklahoma, Georgia and Arkansas.
The enormity of the coordination challenge of the power restoration is mind-boggling – which has got me thinking more broadly about how businesses of all sizes can more effectively manage their field service teams.
I've received many pitches over the past several months about forms software companies that propose to do just that. So I figured now would be a good time to highlight a few of the options I've heard about– as well as point to other companies that are working on forms software tailored to small businesses optimized for smartphones and tablet computers.
Here are companies you might consider checking out (I'm listing them in alphabetical order):
Device Magic – Available for iOS, Android and BlackBerry, Mobile Forms is meant for data capture, lead information collection or field maintenance work orders. The mobile software works with a cloud service that is priced starting at $10 per device per month.
FormEntry – If your company uses Macintosh software, you should take a look at FormEntry, which supports field data collection (including signature capture) on the iOS platform. You need a Macintosh application ($99.99) or the FormEntry Server ($149.99) to create and distribute the digital forms.
GoFormz – The company's software reconfigures paper forms for tablet computers and smartphones, running either iOS or Android. You'll need the company's cloud service, priced starting at $10 per user per month.
TrueContext Mobile Solutions – The Canadian developer of ProntoForms has a strategic relationship with AT&T, which is distributing its software – used by more than 1,800 business customers. The application helps organizations like Link Associates in Des Moines, Iowa, coordinate delivery dispatches. "ProntoForms has saved us up to 40 hours in labor a month," said Jim Wilkie, fleet and facilities director for Link. That's a lot of hours for a small business. The app links with a service that starts at $19.95 per month, per user for AT&T subscribers.
Zerion Software – iFormBuilder for the iOS platform is a forms-creation and publishing solution for work orders, dispatches, lead capture, surveys, and so on. The forms are distributed "over the air" via the company's cloud service. iForm offerings start at $49.99 per month for up to five users.
There are many, many other forms options listed on the iTunes App store and in the Android app directory. If your small business is using an application that isn't mentioned here, let me know about it by emailing me directly.

If you are getting a shiny new phone and need a new type of SIM for it just follow the steps below.
1. Go to www.48months.ie, log in to My 48 and click on the Change My SIM button.
2. Go to step 1, select 'Swap my SIM - I need a new type of SIM' and hit continue.
3. On the 'Order a replacement SIM' form, pick your SIM type and fill in your delivery address. Make sure you select the correct SIM type for your new phone. Order a "dual SIM" if you need a micro SIM. Proceed by clicking on the 'Send me my new SIM' button.
4. When you get your new SIM – log back in to Change My SIM and go to Step 2 where you can activate your SIM. You will need to enter the six digit registration code on the SIM card.
Your new SIM should be up and running in 10 minutes. Your number and membership or credit will transfer to the new SIM.
You can only Swap to a SIM you have ordered through the Change my SIM section. If you use a SIM you have lying around or you use the Free SIM page your number and account won't transfer. If this happens you will need to contact customer care.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Avoid computer games or battery-operated toys for children under age 7. Young children's play should focus on make-believe, which develops their creative-thinking skills, according to Diane Levin, Ph.D., professor of education at Wheelock College in Boston. Dolls that represent television characters, for instance, teach imitation, not creativity.

Review: The Bottomless Belly Button by Dash Shaw

i'm excited to read the comic. i think this is a well written mini review.ReplyDelete
"By writing out those describers he adds time to the image. I read the image longer because of the text."ReplyDelete
That's interesting—when I first started reading graphic novels I had this problem, I didn't really understand/appreciate the visual (I was very textually-based) and I would fly through graphic novels and not absorb everything that was there. At some point something clicked and it was really interesting to experience everything differently when I started to spend as much time "reading" the images as I would have with words. Any novelist who understands that and can point the reader in the right direction (especially an inexperienced reader like me) is onto something.
Incidentally (and unfortunately), the phrase "bottomless bellybutton" makes me think of this thing I saw earlier today:ReplyDelete
