Universal Credit CRUNCHED: Dole handouts IT system to be rebuilt
The man brought in to steer the government's crisis-hit one-dole-to-rule-them-all IT system has admitted that the Department for Work and Pension's Universal Credit project has been poorly managed and needs to be completely overhauled. Howard Shiplee was hired by Work and Pensions Secretary of State Iain Duncan Smith in May this …
Holy shit. A massive new government IT project is over-budget and late due to their mismanagement and likely also some incompetence and price-gouging from their selected contractors. Colour me utterly stunned. Who could have ever predicted this?
Re: Wow.
I know. Christ.
For a start, they need to basically forget about their old suppliers, and totally ignore all large firms that deal with UK government IT projects (Serco, Capita, all that shit).
[quote] This is about changing the way we do business – and changing people's behaviour by ensuring there is always an incentive to be in work[/quote]
I take it that he is referring to the various contractors/outsourcers and management involved in any IT contract with the government.
Dammit. I had _second_ week in September in the office sweepstake on the date they admitted it wasn't going to work.
What? You mean IDS lied about his big project?
I find that hard to belie... oh...
Blame the dead guy.....nice
Whats the big deal with this? Its just a big database.
I suspect the head dudes idea that it isnt just about IT says a lot tho. As it is just IT; its just a big excel spreadsheet with a pretty GUI.
Re: Blame the dead guy.....nice
Unless it is an old component being swapped straight out then it is never 'just IT' (even then a tech is involved). Every single thing a computer does and that's done with it ultimately involves at least two sets of people: Those who build it and those who use it. The behaviors, biases, direction and abilities of both groups dictate if what is being built will work correctly or even determine if building it is possible.
In physical engineering disciplines a lot of study goes into the humanities, psychology (Human behavior and incentives) and history. I think IT could benefit greatly if those things were taught along with the technical side of things.
Regardless of the end product, everything starts and comes back to people (for better or worse). The fastest way to derail a project or end up with a steamy pile of shit is to not make Humans your Number One priority.
Re: Blame the dead guy.....nice
They are not blaming the dead guy. They are blaming the fact that he is no longer around to finish what he started.
changing people's behaviour by ensuring there is always an incentive to be in work.
And exactly how will this change the behaviour of people who are desperately trying to find work when THERE AREN'T ANY JOBS.
It doesn't matter how much pressure you put on them, how much you fiddle the rules so you can cut their benefits to fund tax cuts for the rich, how much you make their life a living hell while sneering at them as 'scroungers'. The only way to get more people into jobs is to have more jobs available for them.
The only 'success' of such a scheme is that it has reduced the number of people out of work - by the number driven to suicide.
unfortunately, for every time this claim is made, someone can always cite an opposing example where someone has milked the system for years.
Because it's been quite warm recently, I'm working with my patio door open. A few days ago the daughter of our next door neighbours had some friends around. They spent most of the afternoon in the garden discussing the best way to "fix the social" (their words) by throwing job interviews. One of them has been claiming ESA and detailed how they tricked the doctor.
That's 4 people who should be in a job, straightaway.
Re: @Christoph Alas, though
I'm not absolutely convinced I want to employ them.
I was raised in the classic benefit trap, Only child in a one parent family existing on benefits from a very early age
once I left school (with crap results) the situation I was in was young enough to not have transport, no income to either get a license or vehicle (even a moped) and then no way of insuring any form of vehicle.
that's not too bad if you happen to live in a town or somewhere with sensible transport links (sorry but the earliest bus each day being at 10:45 am is not sensible, neither is the last bus being at 3:30 pm)
I joined up with someone else in the same situation and started a small business (window cleaning of all things) while we were both still claiming, the money from the business was ploughed back into the business and to get the pair of us transport (which in turn meant we could expand the business).
While we were doing this I was honest with the dole office (I cant remember what name they were using then) and the adviser I spoke with said simply "I didn't hear any of this, but I will mark you as very actively seeking work", as soon as the business was able to support itself and one of us I signed off, once the business grew further the other person also signed off.
now (almost 20 years later) I run 2 successful businesses (in 2 completely different sectors so if something affects one the other is likely to continue without problems) and I have worked for a company not owned by me for a grand total of 4 weeks.
Just saying "there aren't any jobs" and carrying on claiming is entirely the wrong attitude, if nobody is offering you a job then make yourself a job, people will always be willing to pay for others to do what they see as menial tasks like cleaning windows and similar (you would often be surprised how much they will pay).
there is almost always a way of getting off benefits if you want to.
Re: Jess--
Acording to DWP rules now and DSS rules 20 years ago that dole office person should have reported you as working while claiming. You should have had your benefits stopped and been forced to repay the benefits you had claimed since you started the business. Leaving you with no money to live on or run your business. By not doing so they broke the law and became an acomplice to your benefit fraud.
In my experience with dole offices most of their staff would have followed the letter of the law and reported you even though you were trying to get yourself off benefits.
Saying "just defraud the system because I got away with it" is not the right attitude either.
Your argument is self defeating. You have pointed out your only way off benefits was to defraud the system by working and claiming at the same time until you felt you had enough coming in. Why not just sign off when you set up your business or did you need to milk my taxes to boost your profits? I guess we bought your car from our taxes?
If there was infrastructure investment, there might be decent public transport creating jobs in that sector, allowing you to travel elsewhere for work created elsewhere. That seems a better answer to me.
Re: Re:
I beleive that they took that approach with me because it was cheaper / less bureaucracy than going through the official channels to gain a small business grant to set up the business etc etc.
I went in there with the expectation of having to apply for some form of grant to get the business off the ground.
Re: @Christoph
"unfortunately, for every time this claim is made, someone can always cite an opposing example where someone has milked the system for years."
Actually, there are 2.51 million unemployed and you anecdote counts only 4 of them (even that is not the true, number since ESA numbers are not counted in the 2.51 million).
Do you really think policy ought to be made on what you heard over the fence - or read in a tabloid? Do you actually believe people become lazier during times of economic downturn?
Re: @Steve Murphy
My point was that - unfortunately - there are *still* people around whose declared goal in life is to live it at somebody elses expense. I appreciate a conversation between 4 under 20 year-olds falls into the category of "anecdote", but it happened.
I am heartily sick of the "there's no jobs" wail from people who expect to be spoon fed everything. I've been trying to get some building work done, and have lost count of the firms I've called who have quoted 3-month lead times citing "lack of manpower" as a reason.
Re: Re:
"I beleive that they took that approach with me because it was cheaper / less bureaucracy than going through the official channels to gain a small business grant to set up the business etc etc."
Why don't we just 'officialise' what Jess-- did? Why don't we allow, perhaps even encourage people to receive basic support while starting their own enterprise?
"Just saying "there aren't any jobs" and carrying on claiming is entirely the wrong attitude"
It's the truth though. Not everyone is intelligent or confident enough to do what you did. Years ago there were jobs out there for such people. Lots of people capable of decent manual jobs are left with nothing but society's scorn and benefits because all those jobs are now done abroad.
I never heard of anyone who wanted to be dependent on benefits in the long term. That's a tabloid myth.
Re: @Christoph
They spent most of the afternoon in the garden discussing the best way to "fix the social"
Yes, young people tend to be irresponsible. Hardly news. If you had been next to the house of someone very rich you could have heard the children and their friends discussing which restaurant they were next going to visit as members of the Bullingdon Club with the deliberate intention of getting stinking drunk and smashing the place up for 'a bit of fun' .
Now try considering the now vast numbers of people who are not trying to fiddle anything, they are trying to feed themselves and their children. But simply by being thrown out of work through no fault of their own they are somehow instantly transformed into useless workshy scroungers who can be kicked and sneered at without limit, and made to wade through ever increasing amounts of bureaucracy simply to feed their families.
Remember when huge numbers of MPs were found to be fiddling their expenses? When some very simply controls were put in place to reduce the fiddling they squealed like stuck pigs at this terrible imposition. And then went back and voted for more and more and more oppressive controls on benefits to reduce the fiddling. Which is now known to be far, far less prevalent than that expense fiddling was.
"changing people's behaviour by ensuring there is always an incentive to be in work."
There already *is* an incentive to work - being alive costs money. Now, when are they going to actually force EMPLOYERS to actually pay people to work?
There were more jobs created between 1997 and 2007 than there were unemployed people in 1997 who could have taken those jobs. Back then, if you didn't have a job, there was something wrong with you. There were, nevertheless, people who didn't have a job back then, because there was something wrong with them.
New jobs are being created very slowly, but there is no point in doing that if you have to bring people in from other countries to do the jobs, because the natives are either too lazy, or won't take them because they end up with less money or much the same money as they do for staying in bed.
Re: Re:
That is what Universal Credit aims to do. You can still claim some benefits while working, but it gets tapered off as you earn more. You file your accounts online with HMRC every month, and they use that to calculate your benefits.
Unfortunately, they can't also use that to calculate your tax bill, because profits for benefits purposes are calculated using different rules to profits calculated for tax purposes.
Re: Re:
in reference to milking your taxes, I did to the tune of £289.20 over 8 weeks (£36.15 per week) and that money was used to buy wondrous luxuries like food, electric, water or pay rent & council tax.
in those 8 weeks the business paid for the following...
1. put my friend through his driving test (he passed first time luckily)
2. something that resembled a car, it was an old X reg austin metro that you could see the road through the floor in (I believe that we paid around £60 for it which was the amount that could be reclaimed from the tax disc in it's windscreen)
3. Insurance for my friend to drive the car (third party only)
4. a roof rack
5. 2 sets of ladders (so we didnt have to keep borrowing the neighbours)
6. buckets etc
getting that lot together took the 8 weeks, at which point the business had certain work to ensure £80 per week coming in (I signed off and took £40 per week of that leaving the other £40 to cover the business costs).
Still not sure whether it would be legally classed as fraud because until I had signed off I was not receiving any money for the work because any money generated was used on what was needed for the business.
comments invited
Re: Jess-- @ Irongut
When the system only leaves you the option of defrauding it in order to leave it, then fraud is logical.
Let's just pay everyone a nominal, non-means-tested living amount and tax accordingly. Get rid of a whole bunch of bureaucrats who don't give flying fuck about the people they are dealing with in one stroke.
" changing people's behaviour by ensuring there is always an incentive to be in work"
I've only ever been unemployed for 2 short periods in my working life.
Stop trying to tar every claimant as a sponge! I pay my taxes and PAY FOR social benefits, through every fking type of tax possible AND via NI.
Yes there are pleny of "the dole is my shepard I will not want" types out there. Direct your bile TO THEM and stop makiong your self look like a biased twat!
Those pesky big suppliers
I'm sure it will all be OK when they kick the usual big suppliers off the contract and go to all the SMEs gagging to take on these projects.
Trough divers were seen happily slurping away, just waiting for the next feed truck.
Rubber Stamp
I really begin to wonder if the (Un)Civil Service wouldn't be better off (and cheaper for the Nation) if they all went back to department memos, books of guidelines and rubber stamps.
They could also use snailmail to inform everyone of the results of their claims too.
Maybe the old way would be cheaper and more efficient than constantly coming up with monlithic IT systems that no matter how well designed initially,only the designers can use.
The so called users seem to have no grasp of security if they can't lock it in a fire safe each night ( no password required) and a fire safe is much harder to leave behind on a bus or train than a CD in a carrier bag.
Does this mean £5/week stays?
I have hated the £5/week limit on earnings on the dole since Major's day, and as an indication, you could get 10 liters of petrol for it back then. I supported Universal Credit primarily because it killed that limit, which needed to die, and replaced it with a percentage.
I shall be mightily irked if the £5/week limit emerges from its shallow grave.
not "just about IT".
<profanity filter off>
No shit.
Let me guess, no thought about training the 10s of 1000s of staff who are going to be involved.
I'll Guess Ms Reynolds quit when she realized IDS was going to continue with the bullshit and not admit the project needed be re-scheduled and re-resourced (but let's not forget the Mythical Man Month on the effects of throwing staff at overdue projects).
I presume the usual
fuckwits suspects are being employed on this because, heavens you can't have anyone who might actually know how the existing system works, could you?
Some things are unforseeable. They are "Acts of God." But this one had all the usual hallmarks. Epic ambition, no buy in from senior management. etc. Presumably it will be interfacing to the NIRS II system, a previous generation fuckup.
I think I'll leave it there as my comments might become rudely personal.
</profanity filter off>
Re: not "just about IT".
Here's the trough breakdown from
DWP spent just 0.1% of this £2.4bn directly with SMEs - £2.5m - which went to four small firms of consultants: Emergn, Bramble, Evolve Business Consultancy, and Compass Management Consulting.
Most of the £2.4bn was spent with just one company, HP, which earned £1.3bn, or 53% of the expenditure. BT claimed £400m (17%); Accenture got £277m (12%); while £117m (5%) went to IBM; £89m to Capita (3.8%); £81m to SCC (3.4%); and £73m to Atos (3%). (See also the table below, which shows the breakdown by supplier for Universal Credit).
Huge government IT project
Destined to fail from the outset. Not surprised in the slightest. Every time I see one of these projects being announced, I just think "that's at least 2x £<budget> that'll be poured into a hole. At least it'll keep some people in jobs for a while."
Do any of these ever work out?
Re: Huge government IT project
They always seem to start with good intentions, but the bloat starts early, noone admits to any shortcomings during the project and changes take too long to implement. Yes, HMG is no good at IT projects but we've known that for a while. Possibly it's not a case of what could go wrong but rather when - data loss, inaccuracies and just plain mistakes which are more due to the entities parked on chairs who are employed there.
Not working, b*****t.
Of course it's working. Think of all the politicians, their cronies, civil servants, and contractors who would all be out of a job if it stopped not working. Or we could always blame the 'other lot' for creating a false positive.
Not all Civil Servants are at fault
This is another instance of an incoming government wanting total revolution, in no time at all and for a tiny budget. The Civil Servant to blame is the one who said, "Yes, Minister"
Remember when they were
The Department of Stealth and Total Obscurity ?
Do as I did and join the Territorial Army - it was one of the about 12 jobs that only the first £10 (IIRC) counted towards your benefits and the rest is yours. This may have changed. http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/dwp1002.pdf
Related to Less than 1% went to SMEs???
Computer Weekly reported a few weeks back that;
"Less than 1% of the IT spending for the government's flagship Universal Credit programme has gone to SMEs, according to a Computer Weekly investigation."
Hmmm so you know who all the money went to then. The usual suspects and their army of "specialist" new grads and offshored cheap as chips devs I suppose. Maybe they should engage some experts to do some of the hard stuff.
Why aren't Big IT projects run like civil engineering projects where they get specialists in for each area (specialist steel, specialist glass, architects, Lifts, A/C, Quantity Surveyors etc. etc.) . Why do the big SIs continually try to do it all in-house. Shouldn't they just be big programme management outfits hiring in specialist engineering teams?
Re: Related to Less than 1% went to SMEs???
"Why aren't Big IT projects run like civil engineering projects where they get specialists in for each area (specialist steel, specialist glass, architects, Lifts, A/C, Quantity Surveyors etc. etc.) . "
I can explain part of it.
a) Tender process takes (literally) years to progress and choose a "winner." Very few companies have the pockets deep enough to keep some competent people waiting around for IDS to talk to them and ask stupid questions.
b) The project is priced by the total spend EG £10Bn for the Snoopers Charter, not £500m/ yr.
So either the dept or the Treasury says "We must have company that can handle that level of risk," because they might go bankrupt and f**k us up.
Instead you'll get one of "The Usual Suspects (TM)" who will definitely f**k it up instead.
"New boss says only good chunks will be rescued from £500m project"
So, the parts written in Cobol are safe.
Re: Bah!
New one of these please!
Re: Bah!
"So, the parts written in Cobol are safe."
Epic ambition, I like that.
As soon as I read about this project's epic ambition I knew that it was doomed.
Sadly, I watched a couple of hours of IDS et al., before the select committee a few weeks ago and I've never seen anybody twist the truth with such arrogance and contempt as IDS did.
So how's your 'agile' epiphany going now IDS? <chortle/>
Unfortunately, and it makes me more than a little angry, they are going to 'reboot' the project and cost us, the taxpayers, billions, instead of the current millions, before they can it.
The bloke from the Olympics seems pretty switched on but he's about to find out that building a successful, epic software system is a lot more difficult than building some impressive buildings (even if you did go massively over budget, despite the government's pathetic attempts to deny the figures).
"(even if you did go massively over budget, despite the government's pathetic attempts to deny the figures)."
Thinking the Treasury would let you off paying VAT for the build was, shall we say, wishful thinking?
A sucess!
So you get to hand out millions to friendly suppliers (don't forgot the donations next election guys) and at the same time you stop poor people getting their money - looks like a win from No10
(For comprehensive attendees only)
Think about the last time you were lumped together with a fairly representative sample of society ie. school. And thinking back, on average how many of your classmates were useless / thick / weird? 1 in 30 was my experience, so 3% of the sample. That accounts for half the unemployed so far, the rest are probably short-term unemployed between jobs.
Anyone a fan of "big data"? I would like from the govt a complete anonymised list of unemployed, along with their educational level, county of residence, and duration of unemployment. It would be interesting to massage and see where the fail point are.

Renewable Energy
Don't feel guilty about leaving on the lights at Chena Hot Springs Resort; most of the energy is geothermal. Since July 2006 the resort has been utilizing the 165°F springwater to power three turbines. This feat shocked geothermal experts who claimed that water temperatures must be at least 220°F. This free source of power allows the resort to run greenhouses through the –40°F winters. The daily 2 pm free Renewable Energy tours end at these productive greenhouses, where row upon row of lettuce, up to 25 heads a day, and five varieties of tomatoes thrive off a hydroponic, or soil-free, system. Order a salad for dinner and taste the special flavor of local, fresh-picked greens.

Former Kentucky Wildcats guard Rajon Rondo won't be getting a contract extension with the Boston Celtics just yet.
It's not as much what the Boston Celtics have planned for the coming seasons in as much as it is the current limits under the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NBA.
This is according to comments that were made by Celtics general manager Danny Ainge on Thursday during his weekly appearance on 98.5 the Sports Hub.
"In the collective bargaining agreement, there are limits on what can and can't be done," said Ainge. "Really, it's not that Rondo doesn't want to accept an extension, as much as it's just not financially smart for him to accept it right now. We didn't think he would [sign], but we did try."
The limits that Ainge refers to are that of the four year limit for contract extensions for veterans–not including those years already on the current contract. Starting with the first season on the extension, increase in salary can is limited to a raise of 7.5 percent.
Rondo signed a 5-year contract extension for an estimated $55 million in November 2009, with the first of the 5 years coming during the 2010-11 season. The last year of his contract is up during the 2014-15 season. Because two seasons remain, it makes no sense for either party to have a contract extension of only two seasons. It's good for both parties to wait until the offseason as they would be able to add another three seasons to the contract.

"It is time for change. It is time for a revolution in rehabilitation." - Not our words but those of the person appointed by the Government of Ireland and the HSE as the National Director of Clinical Strategy and Programmes, Dr Áine Carroll. (Irish Examiner, 03.02.2011)

Pádraig Schäler (also known as Patrick, Paddy, 'Schaler', and Big P!) was knocked off his bicycle as he cycled to work on Cape Cod on Thursday, 27 June 2013, at 10am. He has remained in a coma ever since. He had just finished his undergraduate studies in Trinity College and had planned to spend the summer on a J1 working visa in the US while considering which of his many plans for the future he should pursue.
After a few weeks in Cape Cod Hospital, his family brought him home to Dublin's Beaumont Hospital. Four months later, they decided to move him to a dedicated early neuro-rehab facility in Hamburg, Germany.
The family have had to cover very significant expenses since the accident happened. His air ambulance flight to Germany alone cost 12,000 euro and had to be paid for by them.
Many people have asked if they could help ease the financial burden on Pádraig's family. For anyone who would like to make a contribution, the following account has been set up:
AIB, Blackthorn Road, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18.
Name on Account Caring For Padraig
Sort Code 93-35-70
Account Number 51728089
Alternatively, you can contribute online.
A special committee has been set up to coordinate the fundraising efforts and to administer any funding raised. This committee is independent of the family and will be fully accountable of how any money raised is spent. (For further details on fundraising see: About)
The family will use all their energy, once Pádraig's condition has improved, to highlight the shortcomings of insurance policies sold to young students planning to work abroad; the inadequate protection of cyclists in the US by the authorities; and, most importantly, the lack of appropriate care and therapy for patients with brain injury in Ireland.
(Pádraig's father writes a personal blog about the move to Germany at www.hospi-tales.com. You can contact him on 087-6736414)
Please send any questions or comments you might have to email@example.com.

The pizza was awesome :)
Food is rather average and arrived late on two occasions...nothing that makes me want to eat from them again.
LOVE the chilli salami Pizza!
The pizza was authentic and delicious. Will definitely order from there again
hello food are too awesome best thing that has happened to nairobi..... actually ordered my food at 9.30pm (most deliveries close shop at 8.30) so you can imagine my happiness when they confirmed the order and within 45 min i was enjoying my delicious meal from osteria totally awesome. thank you :-) :-)
The pizza was awesome and the delivery times met my expectations. Go Osteria and Hello Food in combination!
Dears from Hello food, my experience whit the Osteria at Village a Market was
horrible. Why??I ordered the food around 11:00am and the food deliver arrived in my house almost 14:00pm. I just send him back with the food, I'm very disappointed!
Pizzas arrived slightly burned, but cold, even though we live a block away from the restaurant. The pizza with basil as a main ingredient had 4 burnt basil leaves on top. Disappointment because other times food from here has been better quality.
I`m very satisfied with Hellofood. The food was delivered on time and it tasted delicious. I will definately order food from Hellofood again,
Ordered for Pizza, have to say it was beyond my expectations delivered on time too will definitely do it again
The food was hot and veeeery delicious!! Also delivered on time
Pretty good, but takes time
Lasagna was poorly made!
thank you so much!
food was received..
Excellent calzone, excellent roast vegetables!
The Pizza was good I had the Prosciutto e fungi which I enjoyed. I generally do not favour Osteria but I guess it was not so bad. My Pizza was a bit cold though. I had to reheat it of course to enjoy it. I did not mind it. Having said that it would still not be my first choice to order from but I would if I was up against a wall.
Delivery on time. Food was great!
Worst pizza I've had in a long time. I live round the corner yet it was cold. It was also not fully cooked, the cheese wasn't melted and was very pale and tasted bad. Worst of all there was hardly any topping at all. So basically it was over 1000 shillings for a cold, undercooked cheese pizza with no topping.
Took a while but in the end all was good :)
I ordered a pizza and got destroyed and undone, the pizza delivery was rude, he did not take care of the food.
My food arrived in 3 hours, very very disappointed with the service.
Very dîsappointing. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, we called the restaurant which said that no driver from hello food was here to deliver our pizzas and that their own driver were to busy to do it. We had to collect our food ourselves ... However, even cold, the pizzas were good !
Delivery on time... Food was good. Keep it up.
Always on time, always fresh, always good!
The order arrived late, incomplete and cold....disappointing.
usually good food .. had one miss with Gnocchi but rest i had was good
They have really amazing pizzas and a big variety to choose from! Loved the food! One minor issue was one of the pizzas was slightly burned on the edge, but nothing too bad. I will definitely order from Osteria again!
Osteria never disappoints with their Pizza and prompt delivery.
The best Pizza's!
so i ordered the ragu pizza from this restaurant...it was really good...came in good time and i was happy.
keep it up.
The pizza from this restaurant was excellent. We particularly liked the spicy sausage, artichokes, and cooked ham. Will definitely be ordering from Osteria again.
Delivery was right on time and the food was delicious!
great food and delivery was on time.
Got my delivery 15 mins early which was nice as I was already hungry when I ordered :) Prosciutto crudo pizza, really really good
Great customer service,and the delivery was pretty fast.
I live right around the corner and love the Osteria food. However, the pizzas came yesterday after one hour (not 45 minutes), and they were completely cold. We had to heat the oven and reheat them, which helped, but of course made them taste like leftovers. Not the Saturday night meal we had in mind. I would recommend Osteria any time and hope this was a one off. But as a delivery, it was a huge disappointment.
Speedy delivery, and good quality.
The Pizza was fine and deliver in time
The order was correct and arrived on time, but the bruscetta was soggy and the pizza cold...convenient, but not fantastic.
Very good I liked their pizza
Great customer service. Great food. Fast delivery.
The food (pizzas) arrived on time. It was hot and tasty. I would definitely order there again.
The food arrived almost about 45 minutes after promised. It was hot, so the driver wasn't lost...
I liked my experience.
The size of the pizza seemed small for the price, and it arrived cold. Toppings were sparse, and the taste blunt.
Pizza was good as always, albeit a bit bland. Agree that a bit of basil or extra pepper could add flavour!
Pizza was good as well as fried mozzarella, though it could use a big of spicing.
The food arrived on time (to the minute) and in that regard I'm really impressed with hellofood_KE and the quick communication relay system. However the crust on my pizza was burned and that, I believe, was a failing on the restaurant's part. I understand that one can expect the crust to be a little over-baked because of the lack of effective temperature control of a wood-fired oven but most of the outside area of the crust was inedible. What I did eat of the pizza was delicious. I wish I could have had an untainted experience of the meal, though. My rating is provisional, pending a second experience.
Great Food!

The Night Before Christmas by Clement Moore, Illustrated by Holly Hobbie
Children's Book Review
The Christmas books have finally come out of storage in my house and are being read on a daily basis, including the classic The Night Before Christmas. The copy my family owns is a good one that we have enjoyed over the last few years. But I recently received a new version illustrated by Holly Hobbie, and it is fascinating how different the same story can look when seen through another artists' eyes.

Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' season 2 has kept casting pretty quiet on the march to Comic-Con 2014, particularly compared to the CW's 'Arrow' or 'Flash,' but at long last the Marvel 'Avengers' offshoot series has its first major might. 'Xena' herself, Lucy Lawless will guest star in the upcoming second season of Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' but in what marvelous role?

No, not necessarily, it was September that saved Peter from drowning. The plan was to change the evolutionary path chosen by the scientist not to keep the observers from ever existing. Also note that September (if that was his name) donated genetic material to creat the anomaly which likely means he himself had some mutation to pass on.So the observers would likely still exists but would observer for different reasons (in other words not world domination). This, if it is the case, would still leave the door open for the observer to save Peter,... spoiler
I've only been watching Fringe regularly for the last 2-3 seasons, so I missed the very beginning. However, I believe I recall at one point that September admitted it was he that caused Walter to miss the fact that he found the cure for his dying Peter. Thus if there were no Observer incursion, Walter was able to save his own son and thus never traveled to the other side, never brought the other Peter back to our side, and never fell into the ice. spoilerIf someone with more episodes under their belt can verify, I'd appreciate it.
1 recommendation
I think September distracted Walternate from finding that cure, Walter didn't find it in time. spoiler
The point I was trying to make was that the Observers wouldnt have been destroyed or never created by their form of selective forced evolution. They simply would have made different choices using the anomaly as a template (knowing that they didnt have to sacrifice emotion). So the Observers would have existed and they likely would have observed as well as been noticed by the native population of our dimension / time. The reasons for observation would have likely been different though.However, I will point out that intellect and emotion were present in invading forces throughout our history so this technically shouldnt have mattered either way. The presumption is that the Observers with emotion would have been compassionate and evolved enough to have other noninvasive / nondestructive interests,
.Think of it in terms of Klingons invaders caring nothing for the needs of those they conquer and the Federation with the prime directive (not wanting to alter the evolution of less evolved cultures),
At least that was my take on it. spoiler
I have a problem with the paradox solution.ok if the observers were changed then Walter-nat wouldn't have been distracted by September and he would have seen he had the cure.So Walter wouldn't have crossed over to save alt-peter, because he wouldn't have needed saving.Walter-nat didn't do the cortexifan trials so there's not powered up olivia in universe2.Olivia in Universe1 wouldn't have peter to help her.Walter would never have gotten out of the asylum just as in universe1bDue to the ripples there wouldn't be an Olivia and Peter together on 2015.Peter would be in Universe2c, Olivia in 1c.people keep forgetting the initial alteration of Walter-nat getting distracted by September while Walter was watching causing Walter to see what the cure was but not Walter-nat.And if the Observers intent were changed then the cause of the disruption would be changed.--»Death Star Petition
I think September distracted Walternate from finding that cure, Walter didn't find it in time. spoiler
Although I usually don't like "time travel fixes everything" conclusions, I thought it was a very good series finale.Overall, sci-fi on TV just got a lot less interesting with Fringe gone.--"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H. L. Mencken
As mentioned previously by someone else in this thread, what bothered me about their solution was how they could expect to bring the boy to the evolutionary scientists since the moment the Observers invaded the future was changed. There was a one liner in the finale to acknowledge this and September's time travel knowledge "assured us" they would get the boy to the proper 2167.While acknowledging that whole time travel thing is pure fantasy (thus far!) I've been of the mind that time doesn't need to always loop back on itself. ie If they got the boy to the future scientists, they wouldn't need to continually repeat this for it to be true. In the Fringe universe Walter said nature abhors a paradox and thus likely he would cease to exist after the time line reset. But he would just magically appear to the 2167 scientists with no historical existence from the new time line perspective.I imagine JJ likely felt that time paradoxes exist in "time bubbles" or the such hence there could be two 2167s and by sending the boy to the future of their choosing they were able to "collapse" the one the Fringe folk didn't want to happen.At any rate it is an interesting way to interpret time travel and from a story telling perspective it gives him a lot more flexibility in what the characters can actually do. spoiler
Overall, sci-fi on TV just got a lot less interesting with Fringe gone.
Yes network TV or TV in general. I don't invest time in any "SyFy" shows any more.

I watch BBT; it's funny and I appreciate the frequent nods to sci-fi.As for the rest, they hold no interest for me.
I think Continuum qualifies as sci-fi, but the second season hasn't started yet, and I've already seen the entire first season.So for me, there really isn't any sci-fi on TV. Can't wait for BSG: Blood And Chrome to start.--"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H. L. Mencken
Ive watched both Continuum and BSG: Blood And Chrome on Youtube. However, I will watch both on SyFy-HD as they air or rather record them via Media Center PC.Without getting into specifics, Ill just assume that one should support a show by actually watching it when it airs. As inaccurate as ratings may be, they are still used as the primary metric in measuring the success of a show. In other words it seems self defeating to watch a show through alternative means, ignore it when it airs only to wonder why the industry seems to be making less and less of what you want to see.***edit***For what its worth, I think "Defiance" looks fairly good but doesnt hit until sometime in April:
But how does Rook watching a show, as it airs, affect ratings?I mean, how do they know I'm watching?Defiance does look good.--"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H. L. Mencken
What you don't think your cable box reports that to them?
I watch broadcast network shows without the set-top-box.No reason to have it on if I'm not using it.As for shows on SyFy, yeah, I use the set-top-box, but no, I don't think it affects ratings.--"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H. L. Mencken
What you don't think your cable box reports that to them?
And you think comcast/DTV aren't going to log you too?
And you think comcast/DTV aren't going to log you too?
Still have the last 2 episodes to watch. I'm avoiding reading the last bunch of posts until then.
Wow... finally watched the finale.... I must say it left me sad, but satisfied.I do feel that the writers jumped around quite a bit in the last few seasons though. The show had more of a realistic feel to it in the earlier seasons, then jumped to William Bell creating genetically mutated creatures and trying to create his own universe and destroy ours int eh process while using Olivia as the catalyst, then the next season deals with the alternate universe and then the machine, then Peter being erased from existence, then they just conveniently bring him back with no real solid explanation, we are just supposed to accept that he's back because he had such an indelible footprint in the hearts/minds of others?! Then now all of a sudden we flash forward 21 years into the future and it's this whole Observers Invasion storyline???! Then on top of that we miss the whole Peter/Olivia romance and getting married, and her getting pregnant and having a child stuff?! WTF?! --"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." - Galileo
I know exactly what you mean. Each season seemed to take off in a different direction from the last. The story arcs were seasonal instead of being carried over from year to year. I kind of enjoyed that though.I do wish we got to see more of Olivia and Peter's story, but what we did get was pretty good.--"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H.
