Who are they?
Unknown quantity and saviour of Jenson Button's career, the phoenix-from-the-Honda-ashes team have just the sort of macho onomatopoeic name that would appeal to Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. It won't take long for the Tod-wearing petrol-head japesters to change it to Prawn GP and chortle into their pints of real ale if things don't go well for Ross Brawn's boys. The team has its roots in the British American Racing concern that Honda began by supplying engines to and ended up buying. The newly renamed team have struggled against overwhelming odds to survive after the Japanese manufacturer decided to pull the plug and save more money to pump into incomprehensible adverts that appeal to sensitive art-room types. It is a miracle they have made it to the start of the new season.
Highlight of 2008
Rubens Barrichello charging through the spume to finish third at Silverstone, especially since that day he also surpassed Riccardo Patrese's record for the most grands prix contested (256).
How they see themselves
They've been far too busy trying to save the team to bother with much navel-gazing so far. But there's enough expertise to begin their campaign with more than a wing and a prayer.
Honest assessment
With almost no pre-season testing they must surely struggle near the back of the field. And that will not present any kind of enticement for the potential sponsors they still need to hook. At least by keeping Button and Barrichello on board they have got a good opportunity to hit the ground running. This pair will not lack for motivation after surviving the chop.
Can they survive the recession?
They are not safe by any means. Financially they are hanging by a thread but at least they enjoy the patronage of Bernie Ecclestone. Virgin's Sir Richard Branson may still harbour an interest.
Who's in charge?
Ross Brawn was best-known as the British brains behind Michael Schumacher's phenomenal run of titles with Ferrari. Now he is known as the man who saved his team. Along with Nick Fry he masterminded the deal that meant Honda has invested the money which would have been spent disbanding the team into keeping it going. And he knows how to make a car work, too.
The car
Built to take a Honda engine, it has been hastily re-worked to house a Mercedes V8 instead. We will not know how much it has been compromised until first practice at Melbourne's Albert Park.
Drivers' relationship
Button and Barrichello are experienced enough, and easy-going enough, to work together for the good of the new team. Barrichello has never been known to give his team-mates a hard time on the track, while Button is desperate to prove Britain has more than one star driver.
Worst-case scenario
Already survived the worst fate can throw at them and making the grid in Australia is triumph enough.
Maurice Hamilton's crystal ball
Button 14th, Barrichello 16th.
Constructors' title odds 80-1
If they were in kids' TV ...
Mr Benn
Staid on the surface, an ordinary-looking chap with a dull-looking life who often assumes different garb before embarking on adventures where some hard lessons are learned. At the end he has to don his businessman's suit and it is assumed he returns to normal life. No one is really sure how he can afford to keep it up
The drivers

What's he like?
Gregarious and groomed to within an inch of his life to exude the dazzling sheen of a multi-millionaire.
Career so far
Near-misses with Williams, Renault, BAR and Honda, though he broke his duck in Hungary in 2006. Has not always been managed well.
The knowledge
Owns, and occasionally drives round London, a vintage 1956 Volkswagen camper van, in which he might have a better chance of a race win than he would with poor old Brawn GP.

What's he like?
Looks like Frasier Crane, though without the constant head-shrinking. An avuncular figure and practical joker on the circuit - should not be invited to weddings.
Career so far
How long have you got? Lewis Hamilton was eight years old when Barrichello made his F1 debut and he still beat him to the world title.
The knowledge
Does an Eric Morecambe comedy trip every time he gets on the podium - you probably won't see it this year.

Garth Algar.....Dana Carvey

Garth: Welcome to "Wayne's World"! Here's your excellent host -
Wayne Campbell!
Wayne: Party!! Party hearty! It's Friday night, I'm your excellent host, Wayne Campbell. With me, as always, is Garth.
Garth: Party on, Wayne!
Wayne: Party on, Garth! [ Wayne's mom walks past with a basket of dirty clothes ] Hey, Mom! Mom, I'm doing a show, okay?
Mrs. Campbell: Sorry, Wayne. Just doing a load of whites. On with the show. Hi, Garth. Wayne, I honestly don't understand how you manage to get everything you eat on the front of your t-shirts.
Wayne: Uh, Mom.. this is fascinating for everyone, alright? Myself, I'm enthralled. Could you go, please?
Mrs. Campbell: Alright, I get it, I get it.. I'm good enough to do your laundry, but not good enough to be on.. [ chanting ] "Wayne's World!" "Wayne's World!" [ returns upstairs ]
Wayne: Good call, Mom! I think you have a firm grasp of our
relationship. Sorry about that. Okay.. before we begin, let me start off by saying that we have a very special "Wayne's World" this week, okay? Garth's cousin Barry is a roadie for Aerosmith, okay? And, guess what? They're gonna be on the show!
Garth: [ excited ] Oh! Oh! I can't believe they're actually gonna be here! Oh! Oh!!
Wayne: Come on, Garth, don't go squirrelly on me. I'm counting on you, man!
Garth: Okay, man.
Wayne: Okay, the only thing is, though, that I had to promise to put Barry on as a guest, alright? So, here he is. Garth's cousin, who's a roadie for Aerosmith - Barry!
[ as Barry walks downstairs, Wayne and Garth jam it up for his introduction ]
Wayne & Garth: "Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Party Time! Excellent!"
Wayne: Welcome to "Wayne's World", Barry.
Barry: [ stepping over the sofa to sit down ] Hi, Wayne.
Wayne: Hi. Uh.. you know Garth, of course.
Barry: Hi, Garth.
Garth: Hi, Barry!
Wayne: Okay, first of all, good work on getting Aerosmith on the
show, man.
Barry: Well, I told 'em that going on "Wayne's World" was good for promoting the upcoming gig at the Aurora Civic Center, and they went for it.
Wayne: Okay! Now, uh.. Aerosmith is definitely here, right?
Barry: Yeah. Yeah. They're upstairs in the kitchen sitting right at the table there.
Wayne: [ stomping his feet on the floor in excitement ] You mean, they're up there in the breakfast nook! Aerosmith is in my breakfast nook? Excellent! Alright!
Garth: [ waving his drumsticks ] Excellent! Excellent!
Wayne: Alright, let's go up to the Nook Cam, alright? [ jams his guitar ] "Nook Cam! Nook Cam! Wayne's World! Excellent!"
[ camera blends to show us Aerosmith sitting around Wayne's breakfast nook playing poker ] Alright! The Nook Cam. They're they are.. Aerosmith! This is amazing! There's Joey Kramer, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford! Aerosmith is sitting where I eat my Nut 'n' Honey everyday!
[ camera blends back to the basement ]
Garth: Oh! Oh! Oh, man, they're actually here! I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! [ Barry wrestles him down ]
Wayne: Garth, take a ritelin, man! Alright, Barry - you're a roadie, right? It must be Chick Central for you, right?
Garth: Yeah! You must be a citizen of Babe-ylon!
Barry: Well.. yeah.. uh.. we get our share of the babes.. But, you know, you don't have a lot of time, and there's a lot of people to consider.. I mean, there's the band, there's the sound guy, there's the lighting crew, there's management, there's tour co-ordinators, the record company.. and then, of course, us, the roadies.
Wayne: Okay.. so, what you're saying is that roadies are the bottom feeders in the Great Babe Food Chain. Right? [ Garth can't control his laughter ]
Barry: Uh.. that is not what I'm saying, Wayne! I mean, come on.. there's a ton of chicks who would rather go out with roadies than with the band.
Wayne: Shyeah, right! And, later on, monkeys might fly out of my butt! Okay, let's see what's happening upstairs on the Nook Cam. [ camera blends again to show us Aerosmith sitting around Wayne's breakfast nook, as Mrs. Campbell shows off the family photos ] Oh, no! Oh, no, my Mom's there, she's talking to Aerosmith! Oh, no! I'm dying in death! Oh, no, she's gonna say something stupid! Oh, no, this is BRUTAL!! [ Aerosmith gets up and walks aside with Mrs. Campbell ] Oh, no! They're leaving! She's making them take the house tour - the Walk of Shame! [ camera blends back to the basement ] Garth! Go! My mom must be stopped! Use violence if necessary!
Garth: [ running off ] Excellent!
Wayne: Alright.. Barry.. you're gonna do us a little demonstration of what you do on stage, right?
Barry: [ gets up ] Yeah. Okay, what I do is make sure everyone's got their gear on, and I cue their guitars, and I bring 'em out onstage.. [ demos ] ..and I start the mikes and make the sure the scarves are always in the right place.. and then, the most important thing - I gotta do a sound check. [ pulls the mike forward ] "Check. Check. Check 1. Sibilance. Sibilance. Check. Check. Check 2. Sibilance. Sibilance." And that's pretty much what I do.
Wayne: Well, that's good. [ spots Garth returning ] Hey! Did you get her to stop?
Garth: Yeah, I stopped her!
Wayne: Alright, great! Thanks, Barry. That was really interesting. Not! Okay.. look, buddy, I honored my part of the contract, alright? So bring Aerosmith on!
Barry: Yeah! [ hops over the couch and runs upstairs ]
Wayne: Alright, excellent! Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you..
[ Wayne and Garth bow before Aerosmith as they come crashing downstairs ]
Wayne: Okay! Welcome to "Wayne's World".. o Mighty Ones!
Steven Tyler: Hi, Wayne. Hi, Garth. Thanks for having us on the show.
Garth: Oh, Wayne, I'm so excited, I.. I think I'm gonna hurl!
Wayne: Hey! Garth, get it together, man. 'Cause if you hurl, and I catch a whiff of it, man.. I'm gonna spew. And if I blow chunks, chances are someone else is gonna honk, alright? And that's gonna set off a parastolic reaction, alright? Okay, sorry about that! Make yourselves comfortable, welcome to Party Central.. but I've just got to say, I think you guys are the greatest band in the world!
Garth: Without a doubt! Without a doubt!
Wayne: Garth! Aerosmith are here!
Wayne & Garth: Whoaaaaaaaaa!!!
Wayne: We told a lot of people that you guys were gonna be on the show.. right? And they had a lot of questions, right? So, here are the Top 3 Questions they had for Aerosmith, alright? Question #1: "Is it true you guys don't do drugs or alcohol any more?"
Joe Perry: Yeah, man, that's right. No drugs, no alcohol.
Feels great.
Wayne: No way!
Joe Perry: Way.
Wayne: No.. way!
Joe Perry: Way!
Wayne: Okay! Okay, Garth, go ahead.
Garth: Okay, the next question is for Steven: "Are those really your lips, or are they lip implants like Barbara Hershey had in the movie 'Beaches'?"
Steven Tyler: They're mine, man!
Wayne: Bitchin'! Bitchin' lips!
Wayne: Cool.. Lipmeister. Okay: "With the recent developments in Eastern Europe, do you think that Communism is on the decline, or is this just a temporary setback?"
Steven Tyler: Wow, man, that's a hard question.. But I have to
respond with a qualified yes. Although it seems that Socialism is in repose, until you repsoe the Stalinist era apparatchiks, there will be no real change in the Soviet Union.
Tom Hamilton: No, I disagree, man. There's never been a
blueprint for the dictatorship of the Proletariats, so there's bound to be mistakes. However, if you study history, you'll see that since the rise of the nationship, Socialism has been a historic inevitability.. dude.
Garth: Excellent! Excellent!
Wayne: Fascinating. Okay, we're just about out of time, right? But it's always been my fantasy to play with you guys. And I was wondering if you wouldn't mind singing the "Wayne's World" theme with me?
[ Aerosmith agrees, so they and Wayne ready their guitars ]
Barry: [ performs the sound check ] "Check. Check 1. Sibilance. Sibilance. Check. Check 2. Sibilance. Sibilance."
Wayne: Let's do it! Alright, here we go!
Steven Tyler: 1, 2, 3!
Wayne & Aerosmith:
"Wayne's World! Wayne's World!
It's Party Time! It's excellent!
It's Wayne's World! It's Wayne's World!
It's Party Time! It's excellent!
Chicks go mental when we go down the street!
It's Wayne and Garth who they want to meet!
Yeah, we're in the basement playing with our toys!
And if you do not like it, you're a Sphincter Boy!
Wayne's World! Wayne's World!
It's Party Time! It's excellent!
It's Wayne's World! It's Wayne's World!
It's Party Time! It's excellent!"
Wayne: Good night! Party on!

Overhead are the typical early Christian Eagle, Ox, Man, and Lion with the alpha omega sign. Also, there were lots of intricately crafted star patterns.

Mosaics are a hobby for me, I made a marble copy 4'x4' of one from the house of the trident I saw one time on Delos (6600 pieces hand cut, whew).

Is outsourcing model something new for you? Do you have to deal with it – and think how to influence key employees? Or maybe you have problems with not clearly defined goals and objectives in an outsourcing engagement? Or… Maybe you like Murgh Dansek or Alu Channa Masala and want to extend your network?
If you ask yourself these and similar questions, you should definitely have visited the meeting organized by Indescon and held a few days ago in Frankfurt, Germany. And if you could not attend the meeting, read the story and get the feeling about the meeting, outsourcing, networking possibilities, and Indescon itself.
Hot weather has not deterred us from joining the event which took place in Mayur Restaurant – an Indian restaurant located in Frankfurt (thank you for your hospitality and good food served to us!). Ashant Chalasani, the President of Indescon and Pramod Reddy Atla, Director at Indescon have presented the history of the organisation and its objectives. We could also find out many interesting details about themselves: their coming to Germany a few years ago, their engagement to get the Indians living in Germany together and to establish a community, and their business initiatives, understood as a bridge between Germany and India.
Inside of Mayur Restaurant, source: Mayur Restaurant, http://www.mayur-frankfurt.de
Pramod has also presented the reasons why many outsourcing projects fail. Then we could discuss our experiences regarding critical factors in outsourcing initiatives. The results of this (creative!) brainstorming session are as follows:
How to manage an outsourcing model which is new for you? It is important to be well informed: not only about the advantages but also about possible risks. It makes sense to collect best practice cases and to try to implement them. Learning by doing is crucial as well.
How to influence key employee attrition at the vendor? A very sensitive subject, isn't it? In fact, people make success happen – and not technology, processes or structures. Therefore it is very important to set objectives, to communicate them (in both: formal and informal way) and to consider the cultural aspects of the undertaking: how different people think, interpret facts (as agreements for instance) and react. Incentives are of big importance, too. In companies with high personnel turnover rate a question can be asked who are the key employees?
How to deal with not clearly defined goals and objectives in an outsourcing engagement? Personal relationship between the vendor and the buyer is very important in this context. It is also possible to have independent party between them both to manage the relation. And once again: communication, communication, communication – as much as possible.
What additional measures can be undertaken to protect intellectual property rights? First, the legal framework is very important here: legal circumstances and system of penalties should help a lot. Many companies ask the question about data security while outsourcing them – in many cases the vendors have even more experience with protection of intellectual property than the buyer. Regarding the question of data security and the way: data – information – knowledge I can recommend you another text: Paper-free office – efficient model for a modern company?
How to deal with a service delivered that does not fulfil the expectations? Our team has come to the conclusion that such parameters as quality, quantity and the delivery conditions should be defined in the service level agreement. However, we cannot precisely define everything and we cannot predict everything. Therefore one thing should be clearly communicated from the first day on: that what is delivered is never a finished product, it makes sense to work in a phase system, where the project in dealt into many phases which are subject of delivery to the client. It also makes sense to express realistic expectations by both sides: the vendor and the buyer. And giving the customer the possibility to manage vendor's team makes it possible to control the results and the project progress.
Meeting Indescon: Open and creative brainstorming session
The atmosphere of the meeting was very open and interactive and we had a very good networking opportunity. We could exchange our ideas about outsourcing, India, innovative business models as IT flat for instance (that will be for sure a topic of another text I am going to prepare) and many more.
Such meetings will be held every month. And I am really happy to attend the next meeting at the end of September – I will write a small report from this event, too.
Magdalena Szarafin
The Indo-German Software Competence Network (Indescon) e.V. is a network of German and Indian software companies that view India and Germany as potential export and sourcing markets. As Germany's largest special interest group for the offshore software development services industry between India and Germany, Indescon offers unique opportunities for networking with potential partners in the two countries. The focus is to provide fresh perspectives to member companies that eventually result in growth and profitability. more >>

Astronomers have unveiled a photograph of the deepest-ever view of the universe, providing the first glimpse of distant galaxies that are billions of light-years away.
The photo, called eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, was assembled by combining 10 years of Hubble Space Telescope images taken of a tiny patch of sky. Repeat observations made over the past decade added up to a total exposure time of 2 million seconds, allowing cameras to record the faint light of galaxies that are 1/10th of a billion the brightness of what the human eye can see.
Before the XDF was revealed Tuesday, the deepest view of space was Hubble's photograph called Ultra Deep Field, which was created using data from 2003 to 2004.
"The XDF is the deepest image of the sky ever obtained and reveals the faintest and most distant galaxies ever seen," said Hubble scientist Garth Illingwoth. "XDF allows us to explore further back in time than ever before."
Thousands of galaxies
NASA's eXtreme Deep Field was met with only modest fanfare on social media.
In an age when words like "epic" and "awesome" are tossed around casually, perhaps it's worth reflecting on what, if anything, this photo makes us feel.
Are the cosmos losing their ability to inspire awe? Weigh in.
The new full-colour XDF image contains about 5,500 galaxies, including some that span back 13.2 billion years. The universe is estimated to be 13.7 billion years old.
The photo, which captures a small area of space in the constellation Fornax, shows galaxies at various stages of their evolution. Most are seen when they were young, small and growing — often violently — as they collided and merged together. The light from those past events is just arriving at Earth now.
Large, fuzzy red spots — galaxies in their declining years — can also been seen. These areas are where the formation of new stars has ceased and are the remnants of dramatic collisions between galaxies.
Also visible are spiral galaxies similar in shape to our Milky Way and our neighbour Andromeda.
Before the Hubble telescope was launched into space in 1990, astronomers could only see galaxies that were up to seven billion light-years away, about halfway across the universe.
NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope, which will use infrared technology, will reach even further into the skies, finding fainter galaxies that existed when the universe was just a few hundred million years old.

Topic: being honest with a friend
Member # 45929
Me and one of my best friends have been friends for about a year now. We had been acquaintances for a while, but we became really good friends when I started dating my current ex-boyfriend, and she was best friends/had a crush on my ex's best friend. He was a really big jerk to her for a long time because he didn't have the same feelings she did, and we became even closer when my boyfriend broke up with me. So, we were both dealing with sort of the same thing of dealing with these two guys who were being sort of jerks, but also us wanting to still be friends with them.
I've been through a lot with my ex and I go back and forth from wanting to be friends with him to not wanting to be friends with him. Over Christmas break I got very angry at him because he kept avoiding me and was being very rude whenever I tried to hang out with him. Me and my best friend tried to hang out with my ex and his friend, but they kept blowing us off and were generally just rude to us, so we decided that we were going to end the situation we had gotten ourselves in and stop talking to them.
I guess this was easier said than done. My best friend has done extremely well, as far as I know, and we never talk about the two boys anymore. I didn't talk to my ex for about a month, but I sort of caved and started talking to him again. To my surprise, all of my interactions with him have gone really well, but I also still feel like I am too attached to him, as I know I shouldn't be. It's hard for me to figure out whether or not to stop talking to him because he has been such an important person in my life, despite some of the recent feuds we've been in.
But I've been hiding this secret from my friend. I haven't told her that I've talked to him, or that I might be seeing him this weekend. I don't know what to do or how to tell her because I'm afraid she's going to get upset with me. One of the reasons why I didn't tell her was because I was so happy that she was doing better off without her guy, and I didn't want to give her a reason to start talking to him again. I also didn't tell her because we promised each other not to talk about them. But now I don't know what to do. I feel like I have to decide whether or not to keep talking to my ex (and how to stop) and whether or not I should tell my friend I have been talking to him. Can someone help me figure out what to do? I feel awful and I don't want to jeopardize our friendship, but I also don't know how to stop talking to him

I don't think you're under any obligation to share every aspect of your life with your friend, but I can certainly see how it would be awkward keeping this from her. Has she said anything that makes you think she'd stop being your friend if you started talking to him again? I get that your ex and hers are connected in your mind (and in hers) but they are separate people; just because you are thinking about re-opening communication with your ex doesn't mean she needs to do the same with the guy she used to date.
If you decide you want to tell her, maybe you could say something like "I know we were both really frustrated with these guys, but I started communicating with [your ex] a little while ago and it's been going well so far." You can decide from there whether or not it makes sense to talk about maybe seeing him.
I also want to check in with you about worrying that you're too attached to your ex or feeling like you don't know how to stop talking to him. Are you getting positive things out of your current interactions with him? I think it can be really easy to fall back into old patterns with exes after a breakup, and sometimes those patterns are a mix of the positive and negative things that happened during the relationship. I don't know your history with him, of course, but if you feel like the dynamic between you two is slipping into a place you'd rather not revisit and you need any help finding a way to distance yourself from him, we can help you sort that out.

Okay. I just didn't know if not telling her would be detrimental, but I think I'm worrying a little more than I should be. I think I am mostly torn up because I have my own problems when it comes to dealing with whether or not I should keep talking to him. I think it was harder at first to talk to him before because I would get really mad at him for the way he treated me before and then we would get into fights and it was just bad. I'm starting to realize that we're not dating anymore and that I'm not going to hear from him as often as I have before, but there are some things that still really bother me, like the idea of him getting a girlfriend. I really am confused when it comes to deciding whether or not I should detach myself from him. I feel like since we are being friendly now it would seem out of the blue to make problems again, and he genuinely wants to be friends with me. He also expressed that he felt bad about the way he treated me in the past and that he's trying to change it. He's the only person I feel really comfortable with when it comes to telling when I feel really down, and when I have really bad moments he's almost always there for me in some way. But then again, there are still these moments where I get upset because I miss the way things used to be, and all the bad things come back and I get hurt all over again. I don't know what to do. I've tried so hard to not talk to him but it just makes me anxious and I can't find a way to stop myself from talking to him. I think I rely on him far too much but I feel like I've caused so much confusion for myself I don't know what to do. I would talk to him and tell him that I would like some space, but I've done that before and never kept my word and I feel like he won't take me seriously. I haven't really talked to any of my friends about it because they've heard these same things thousands of times before... but I'm not any less confused.. even though me and him are communicating well. I don't know what to do :/

Everyone has a different way of dealing with exes, but I do think that it can be very helpful to keep some distance sometimes. I wouldn't call it "making problems" to continue to take a break from him; you don't have to make a big deal about it to your ex but you can just not initiate contact with him for a while longer. Honestly if you feel really upset thinking about him dating someone else it may be good to continue keeping some distance between you for a while.
You say you feel like you can't talk to your friends about him, but here's a thought: if you
decide it would be better and healthier for you to continue taking a break from talking to your ex for a while, do you have some friends you could say "hey, I'm still trying not to talk to or hang out with my ex, can I call you up to chat or get together if I'm feeling lonely?" And then you could know you have some folks on your side who are willing to spend time with you when you have that urge to give him a call. You don't even need to tell them anything specific, actually, but if you're feeling like you want to talk to someone and miss that connection you had with your boyfriend, it may make sense to just reach out to some other people you're close to for a friendly distraction. It's great that you were able to share a lot of personal things with your ex when you were dating but I do think it's also a good idea to have more than one person you can tell those things to. Are any of the things you shared with him the sort of things you can talk about with your friend you mentioned in your initial post?
If you are going to build a real friendship with your ex moving forward, I think it's
important to have a friendship that exists on its own terms, not one that's made up of missing the good parts of your relationship. Does that make sense? Sometimes it's easy to fall into a friendship that feels so much like a former relationship that it becomes a lot harder to move past a breakup. Your boyfriend may still be a great friend to you, but if you're missing that relationship strongly right now, I think it may be a good idea to cool things off with him until you can think about him as "great guy! too bad it didn't work out when we dated" and not "I miss having him as my boyfriend so much." (Not to put words in your mouth! I've definitely felt both of these things about exes though, and it really didn't work to be friends until I got past the strong missing-him part.)

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you. I haven't really seen it in this way and I think I really need to have someone to tell me to break it off. I can talk to my friend about the things I talk about with him, I just think that I'm hesitant about doing so because I'm just used to going to him instead of her. I do really think that I need to get my head together because while I don't miss him as much as I used to, I still miss him a great deal and I think it's hurting my ability to move on and create a new life. Thanks very much for your advice, I hope it works

Fashion is, and always has been, cyclical. In 2016, many styles reference trends from the '90s, which at the time were already drawing inspiration from previous decades, and so on and so on.
When you're young, you tend to have tunnel vision and can only see clothes or accessories in the moment. Over time, however, you grow to understand and appreciate the context. It really hits home the first time you see a look that you rocked as a teenager reincarnated by the current set of teens. Sure, you could simply blow off the current trend because the people embracing it don't understand the past the way you do. But as soon as you do that, you become Old Man River. A better approach is to appreciate the current styles without giving up your own personal style. You want to be the reed that blows with the wind but doesn't get fully uprooted, to get overly philosophical about it.
One approach that I find to be effective is to think about what you're wearing today and mentally time travel your way (preferably with a DeLorean) into the future. Would Future You make fun of the look that Current You is rocking? If so, then it might not be worth it.
Appreciating current trends doesn't mean hopping on the bandwagon for all of them. Knowing which waves to let pass by is as important as understanding which ones to hop on. Again, think about how Future You would see things. When it comes to these five trends, he would definitely poke his finger and chuckle. So no matter how popular they get, you'll probably be better off leaving these looks by the wayside.
It's not that I'm against the curved brim or the slouchy crown. It's the pre-made broken-in-ness that I have trouble with. When I was in high school, I had three hats—a Gatorade one, a National Geographic Society one, and a triple bar University of South Carolina one that said "Cocks" on it (subtle, I know)—that would all fall into the "dad hat" category. But none of them started their lives that way. They all began as flat-brimmed, upright crown snapbacks that achieved their "dad hat status" only after months of constantly fidgeting with, sweating in, and generally beating the crap out of them. Sure, this might sound like a "Back in my day we used to walk through the snow uphill both ways to school" lament, but that breaking-in period also forged a deeper connection to the hats. Sure, they were just baseball hats. But right now, I wish I still had all three of them (well, maybe I've matured a wee bit past the South Carolina one) and that is because of the time I put into them. When you buy something that doesn't evolve over time, that bond is not nearly as strong.
This is one of those ones that I've been watching with bemusement, expecting there to be a moment when everyone says, "Ha, gotcha. We were just messing with you. We didn't really think this look was cool." That moment has not come. Brands like Teva and Chaco have collaborated with some of the coolest names in fashion—including the likes of Opening Ceremony and Comme des Garcons—all without a trace of irony. What's interesting is that people who are dead-set against wearing flip-flops in the city will proudly rock a pair of Tevas through puddles of air-conditioner drip as though there is any difference from a hygiene perspective. But even if I could wrap my head around the hiking sandal look, the socks with sandals look is a bridge too far. I guarantee that every under-35 person who pulls this look off right now has at some point mercilessly mocked someone many years older for doing the exact same thing. If it was at the beach, the object of ridicule was probably waving a metal detector like a magic wand. If your feet are too cold when you wear sandals, there is a solution other than wearing socks under them. It's called shoes.
It doesn't matter how much hype is behind them or if you call them "triple black" or "pirate black"; the all-black sneaker inevitably looks like a shoe that should be worn by either a waiter or a senior citizen. A friend who used to wait tables—and was required to wear entirely black sneakers as part of her uniform—used to complain about the lack of options available. Today, there are many more kicks to choose from, but that doesn't make them any cooler. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly why all-black sneakers don't work in the same way that all-white ones do, but it might have something to do with the darker color being more reminiscent of somber, stuffy dress shoes, while white has always been a staple color in athletic footwear. Mind you, this is not a rant against black sneakers, only the completely murdered out ones. Sometimes, just a tiny pop of color is all that's needed to transform a moribund sneaker into a legendary one, as evidenced by kicks like the Air Jordan 11 "Space Jam" with its white midsole and purple Jumpman logo, or a more minimal shoe like the Common Projects Achilles.
The T-shirt is the foundational piece of casual attire. It can be made with higher-quality fabrics and sold at expensive price points that you make you ask "A T-shirt costs how much???" but it is still, at its core, just a T-shirt. There is no need to make it look formal by tucking it into your pants. Much like the socks-and-sandals look, this is another style that originated with senior citizens and has been co-opted by the youth. Even if you can get past the nerdiness of the style—and make no mistake, it is nerdy—there is also the effect that it has on your proportions. Tucking your T-shirt in makes your torso look shorter and squatter, which is rarely the look that most guys are going for. It also makes the shirt less comfortable because it's constricted by the waistband. Why anyone would want to take the most comfortable garment ever created and make it less so, is beyond me.
This is a tough one because I can very clearly hear my parents in my head asking a teenaged me, "Why do you want to pay for jeans that already have holes in them?" and thinking that they just didn't get it. Now here I am posing the exact same question. But the issue that I take with pre-ripped jeans is not the holes themselves: it's the fact that they aren't earned. Much like with dad hats, I believe that men should take pride in breaking their jeans in, even to the point that they become threadbare. When you stick with a garment through that entire process, the clothes tell a story. When you buy jeans that are pre-distressed you are buying that story, and it's easy to tell that it's not an authentic one. Whether it's where the holes fall on your legs or how the creases don't sync up with your anatomy, the clothes end up wearing you as opposed to the other way around.

Australia's award-winning promoter and TV and Radio boxing show host Peter Maniatis believes that the fight against Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios "will be a massive test" for Manny Pacquiao when they clash at the Cotai Arena at the Venetian Resort Hotel in Macau on November 24.
Maniatis told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard " if the fight took place three years ago it people would have said its a mismatch and Manny is going to be charged with manslaughter but because Pacquiao got knocked out in devastating fashion in his last fight (against Juan Manuel Marquez last December 8) so it leaves a bit of a question mark. When people get knocked out do they come back better or do they come back worse, so we don't know."
He said Rios "hasn't got devastating power" even as he emphasized that "if Manny is not impressive it will blow the fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. That's the fight that everybody wants. If Pacquiao beats Mayweather he becomes a $60-$80 million fighter again."
Maniatis who has been regularly named "Promoter of the Year" in Melbourne told us Rios is "tailor-made for Pacquiao. No head movement, one dimensional, moves forward , no devastating power."
The Aussie promoter said Rios "will be moving into Manny's shots and he's going to be wanting to trade, while Manny has got him on speed and got him on power. We haven't seen Manny since his loss to Marquez , hopefully nothing has gone wrong and hopefully he is still the same Pacquiao and there are now flaws because at that level he can lose the fight."
Pacquiao and Rios along with trainers Freddie Roach and Robert Garcia as well as Top Rank promoter Bob Arum traveled to Shanghai from Beijing in the next stop on their promotional tour where they met former NBA superstar Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets giant center.
Pacquiao and Rios are in Shanghai for a press conference to announce their upcoming mega fight in November. Both fighters are making a stop in Shanghai as part of their world-wide media tour which will also include other stops in Singapore, New York and finally ending up in Los Angeles.

How many parties and events do you go where you get a goodie bag when you leave? Valerie van der Gracht of the popular Vancouver blog My Van City gets a lot of them. In fact like myself, she often declines the gift bags unless she knows there is something in the bag that she can use. The reason is that it just becomes too much after a while. How many soaps, lotions and chocolates can one person have? You can never have too much chocolate in my opinion. So what does Valerie do with these gift bag goodies? She practices regifting by passing them on to friends, family, and the occasional charity. It's a kind thing to do, and it keeps your closet from overfilling with unused items.
Valerie recently attended an event at Spence Diamonds and this time, the goodie bag had a gift certificate inside it. The gift certificate wasn't for a diamond ring. Instead, every person that attended the event was given a $25 gift card for Chimp.net. What can you buy at Chimp? Nothing. What you can do is donate money to any registered charity in Canada. That is ANY registered charity in Canada! That is a goodie bag gift that will never go unused in my opinion.ANY registered charity in Canada! That is a goodie bag gift that will never go unused in my opinion.
Where did Valerie choose to donate her $25 gift? To one of her favourite charities Covenant House Vancouver. That $25 will go towards supporting the 1,500 street-involved youth that find sanctuary and a brighter future at Covenant House and it all started with a goodie bag.
This is Valerie's second year participating in 30 Days Of Kindness and she even wrote a post about her experience and how she finds small ways all year long to be kind. Thanks Valerie for your inspiration and for continuing to give back in the small meaningful ways you do. If we all did the small things, it would add up to a very big thing.
My Christmas Open House means there are always snacks, chocolates and goodies leftover that I pack up to donate to our area's women's shelter. The women's shelter is always in need so when I travel the complimentary toiletries are saved to donate. Our neighbourhood holds a big garage sale and we all provide the "new to you" items to sell, the proceeds benefit a local transition house.
Regifting is a good and kind thing to do!

Rebel Congress candidates suspended in TripuraFebruary 16th, 2008 - 12:04 pm ICT by admin
Agartala, Feb 16 (IANS) The Congress Saturday suspended two of its senior leaders in Tripura for contesting against the party's official nominees for the Feb 23 assembly elections. "Following the recommendations of the Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee, the All India Congress Committee was forced to suspend these two leaders as they violated the party discipline by contesting in the polls," said Samir Ranjan Burman, state Congress president.
Abdul Matin Choudhury and Premtosh Nath had defied the party's orders by filing their nominations for the Feb 23 assembly elections, which prompted the leadership to suspend them.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission Saturday suspended a professor of Tripura University, a school headmaster and two government schoolteachers for violating the election laws.
"There are reports that the university professor took part in the campaign for the Congress here recently while the other teachers closed their schools to accommodate political party meetings in the school premises," said G.S.G. Ayyangar, chief electoral officer of Tripura.
A local court in south Tripura Friday sentenced a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate to six months of imprisonment and fined him Rs.2,000 for assaulting a neighbour in connection with a land dispute in December 2005.
"The man can contest the election and may appeal to the higher court against the lower court verdict," Ayyangar said.
Two Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leaders were also arrested for illegal collection of 72 Electors Photo Identity Cards (EPIC) in north Tripura.
"The duo can be convicted and jailed for six months and fined up to Rs.5,000 for this crime. However, the matter is under process," Ayyangar added.

Charlie Brown aged over the life of the comic strip "Peanuts," from 4 to about 8.
On Tuesday the lovable loser of a character turned 62. The strip born in 1950 still runs in the Times Union (in the classified section), even though the late Charles M. Schulz discontinued it in 2000.
"For Better or For Worse" is also retired, but appears in reruns.
"Family Circus" is still going strong … sigh. Can we just assume I made the easy joke and move on?
These strips, classics all (and "Family Circus") occupy real estate that could be used to develop new strips. Shouldn't the oldies be retired?
But it's an age-old dilemma for newspapers that have long known that messing with any comic invites the wrath of very committed readers..
"People become attached to the characters, " said Times Union senior editor Tracy Ormsbee, who led a reader-inclusive re-examination of the comics a few years back. "Everybody has their favorites."
Agreed. But some favorites need to go. Happy birthday, Charlie Brown. Now take a rest.
Do comic strips in reruns need to be retired? And which comic strips do you like, and which need to go away?

Can anyone tell me if I can purchase a machine (preferably under $1000.00 CAD) that will offer high speed dubbing. I was hoping to transfer a 6hr VCR tape to a DVD in an hour or two. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

A 21st Century Transportation Stock
Every few decades or so, industries begin to swap one technology for another. While it doesn't happen overnight, by the time the shift is over, obscure companies have become industry kingpins.
But clearly, the big opportunity is in the large truck market, since the potential savings are so great. In February at a large trade show, every truck manufacturer in North America was offering a natural gas option-and 100% of those available trucks included some Westport content.
The company has operations worldwide, including Vancouver, California, Detroit, France, Sweden, Italy, China, and Australia. Early this year, Westport announced a partnership with a large Chinese engine manufacturer to supply engines for major transportation companies in that rapidly growing market.
China also possesses large natural gas reserves and so the government there is enthusiastic about supporting the transition to natural gas powered vehicles. The company Westport partnered with, Weichai Power, holds 40% of the heavy-duty truck engine market in China, and sold over 200,000 engines last year, so the upside should be very strong.
It's possible that with all of Westport's intellectual property and numerous patents, it could become a takeover target at some point. This is not necessarily a reason to buy the stock, but it's nice to have out there as a possibility.
Financial Highlights
On August 2, the company reported strong second-quarter results, with revenue up 136% year-over-year. Gross margin percentages were also higher at 38.2%, compared to 33.9% in the prior year period.

A VULNERABLE young woman with learning difficulties has been treated in hospital after a savage sexual assault in a house.
A garda investigation is under way in Dublin's south city to find the attacker.
The victim, who is in her mid- 20s, was jogging with her mother on the South Circular Road on Wednesday afternoon when the two became separated.
Gardai said it was not unusual for the woman to part from her mother during a jog and the two would then meet again later.
The woman returned home after being missing for about an hour and told her parents about the assault.
Gardai were notified and the woman was taken to the sexual assault unit at the Rotunda hospital for treatment.
The incident, which took place in a house or apartment somewhere in the South Circular Road area between 4pm and 5pm on Wednesday, was described by officers as "a serious sexual assault".
The medical report and a forensic examination of the victim's clothing are expected to form a key part of the garda inquiries.
Gardai have set up an investigation headquarters at Kevin Street garda station and have appealed to anyone who spotted a man acting suspiciously in the South Circular Road area or speaking to a female jogger that afternoon to contact them, or phone the confidential line on 1800 666 111.
One officer said last night: "A lot of people would have been walking along the street at that time of the afternoon.
"We would ask them to recall if they noticed anything unusual or saw a man talking to a female jogger or walking alongside her," he added.
The chief executive of Down Syndrome Ireland, Pat Clarke, said last night that sex assault victims who have intellectual disabilities, should be given every consideration in the criminal justice system.
He said that, in the past, there had been cases thrown out by courts because the judge deemed that the victim was not a credible witness as she had intellectual disabilities.

Session 19 - Every Person's Perfect Expression
Everything depends on the environment. Our only problem is determining how to set up such a diverse environment—an environment that is uniform for all people and suitable for everyone, so that anyone can acquire education through it, express oneself in the best, most appropriate way, and be connected to others in the integral system.
The purpose of the society is to bring everyone to unity, for in that unity, everyone will find his or her perfect expression.
Finished watching this video session?Answer the questions below to unlock the next session!
We need to organize a rich and diverse environment, which on the one hand, enables every individual to connect with others along with expressing one's identity and uniqueness in full, and on the other hand, creates a unified environment.
Main Points
- Through unity, everyone finds his or her perfect expression.
"We are beginning to understand the impact of our individual and collective actions on ourselves and on the biosphere as a whole."UNESCO Document: Educating for a Sustainable Future: A Transdisciplinary Vision for Concerted Action
"Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off."Quotes Dictionary
"Cooperation thus is sustained by altruistic motivations that induce people to help others when not helping would result in their having higher fitness or other material rewards."Book - A COOPERATIVE SPECIES: HUMAN RECIPROCITY AND ITS EVOLUTION

Runs great, the Overlays look fine. No only sound is missing, if you manage to add it, you would make many people happy, but even without sound, thanks for your work.
Emulator is great, it is good work. However, there are few things that could be done:-obviously, it lacks speed with overlays and sound together. So there should be option to disable - sound/overlays.Overlays are very nice, and with overclocking it could works together, so imho overlays option should not be abandoned.

Air bubbles during electroporation - (Feb/08/2011 )
Why would air bubbles increase the risk of arcing during electroporation? I think air is less conductive than the liquid and my understanding is that you want lower salt concentrations to reduce the conductivity of the sample, so air shouldn't promote arcing. Why then, does it happen?
I'm not sure but my guess would be (based on my primitive knowledge of physics):
The arcing is equivalent to a lightening bolt or a static shock - you need to have a large potential difference for it to occur, in a normal electroporation, the conductive fluid allows the electric shock to be administered in a controlled fashion with relatively low reisitance. However, when air bubbles are present, they act as a kind of insulator up to a certain point, at which the electricity sparks across the gap (as an arc) in an uncontrolled fashion.

Fiscal deficit estimated at 5.2% for 2012-13
The fiscal deficit for the current financial year has been contained at 5.2 per cent of GDP, lower than 5.3 per cent as was targeted, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said.
"The fiscal deficit for 2012-13 has been contained at 5.2 per cent. I propose to bring it down to 4.8 per cent by 2013-14," Chidambaram said while unveiling Budget 2013-14 proposals in the Lok Sabha.
Further, the Revenue Deficit has been contained at 3.9 per cent in the current fiscal and would be brought down to 3.3 per cent in 2013-14.
As per the fiscal consolidation roadmap, the government plans to reduce fiscal deficit to 3 per cent by 2016-17.
"We must redeem our promise and bring down the fiscal deficit to 3 per cent and revenue deficit to 1.9 per cent by 2016-17," Chidambaram said.

Choi has made himself a comfortable niche in defence alongside Hong Myung-bo and team captain Kim Tae-young.
And he now looks destined to hold on to that berth in South Korea's back four for the duration of his country's stay in the tournament.
The problem for Guus Hiddink, however, will be if any of his trusted trio of 30-somethings are injured. The hosts simply lack strength in depth in their defence.
Choi is a strong man-marker but never looks happier than when he is pushing Korea's attacks up the right flank - and has scored at international level.

I Would Impose Poll Ta on Women.
H A bill has been introduced in the State Senate
H by Senator Benner X. Smith of Salt Lake City
H which provides for the levying of a pool tax on
H women in the sum of $3 annually, placing them
H on an equality with men in that respect.
H As a matter of fairness, we do not think the
H , bill could be reasonably opposed even though the
H object of the measure be to increase the revenues
H frolh taxation, for the reason that women in this
H state"1 enjoy the franchise equally with men, and
H there are thousands of women, who, though they
B exercise the right to vote, and by the power
H given them, help to shape the policies of the state,
H from whom not one cent iseceived in taxes, and
H this, in a measure, is an injustice to the taxpryers
H whose interests may be adversely affected by
H thoso who have no property and no taxes to pay
H and c6nsequently are more or less indifferent to
H anything except that which has the appearance
H of being of either direct or indirect benefit to
H themselves.
M But such is not the intention of Senator
H " Smith's bill. Instead it is intended to compel
H voters to manifest more general interest in public
B masters at the polls. The bill would impose a
H poll tax in the sum as above stated, on all voters
M in the state, regardless of age, the tax to be rc-
M mitted provided the voter be present and vote at
M each general or municipal election and. each pri-
M mary election, whenever primary elections are
M held, the records of the registration and election
B offcials to be evidence conclusive as to whether
1 the voter should be entitled to exemption from the
H payment of the tax.
M The indiifence shown by a large percentage
Ktt K a subject of; general discussion within recent
P years and has, in the opinion of many statesmen,
i, become a source of great concern if not actual
M alarm, for the reason that as a result of this
l "don't care" attitude upon the part of many of
m the more substantial citizens the matter of deTrfd-
H ing questions at the polls is too frequently left to
M the professional politicians and ward heelers, who
fl . not infrequently hold the balance of power when
M a momentous question is to be decided.
M It is for the purpose of compelling an expres-
M sion of the views of a majority of the people on
H all public questions that the bill as above stated
H has been introduced in the legislature. It is a
H good measure and should be enacted into law.
Why Not Bulletin Boards?
fl Would it not be a good idea for the city coun-
H cil to restrict the posting of notices and bulletins,
B to bulletin stands especially erected for that pur-
H pose.
H The present plan of using trees is rather un-
H sightly, to say the least. Ihalia dozen bulletin
H stands were' erected' in the most conspicuous
B places' and tlo posting ot papers of a public
H nature, other than legal notices, confined to
H these locations, much would be accomplished in
H the way of improvement in the appearance of the
H business section'.
1 Advertising; and Liquor.
B - The News and the Journal of Brigham are
H having a battle royal over the wisdom of accept-
m ing liquor advertising by a newspaper. The
H Jews began, the war and, as is usual when one
B publication seeks to take advantage of another,
H it seems to be getting the worst of the contro-
B , versy.
H Bo'h papers appear to h,ive less support from
H the business men of their home city than the size
H of the town would reasonably warrant, and in
H order to increase its revenues to a point where it
H would not be dependent entirely upon the income
H ;of one day to pay the bills of the day before, the
H the Journal accepted a liquor advertisement
H The News thought it saw a chance to pounce upon
B its competitor and deal it a crushing blow, and
H took the Journal to task for running liquor adver-
B tising in its columns. The Journal came back
B with a bitter chastisement of the News for a
H tobacco advertisment which was being run in its
H columns.
The Journal made the point that its adver
tising space whs its-source of revenue, and it had
a right to sell'it to any concern for the purpose of
advertising any lawful business, no matter what
it might be, and as the sale of liquor was not
absolutely prohibited, it was justified in selling its
space to a liquor dealov the same as to any other
It also saidfthafeif it were to be prevented from
selling space to dealers in liquor, every merchant
in town should boiventcd from selling tobacco
in any form, andliljlenged its competitor to be
gin an attack orilfe business men for selling
tobacco. ; ,,
While .as a'fnatter of right a newspaper
should not refusdfffre use of its columns for any
advertiser eriageclx in a lawful business, no
matter how distasteful it may be to a large por
tion of the public, yet many papers do it, The
Record being one of;them, in the interest of the
public good, and to that extent deny themselves
the income which such advertising liberally ' and
promptly affords. - &
There are newspapers on earth (we know of
some of them) which have such a narrow, shriv
eled, contracted-vision that they will not publish
the name of a competitor when he is concerned
with a matter of public interest for fear it will
give him a little publicity. When a publication
reaches such a point it ias developed a condition
where it almost hate's itself.
Ever since the ejection of Woodrow Wilson
there has been going 'oh. a contest between the
Standpatter in . the . Senate and the progressive
wing. Wilson has been giving his unflinching
support to the progressive leaders and they have
now gained control of t'lie party machinery and
will shape legislation. When Mr, Wilson enters
the White House their numbers will be greatly
increased by the addition of new Senators of the
progressive faith that will be chosen from the
various states during; this month.
The Legislature Busy. '
It can be well snkl that this session of the
legislature is a busy'.one. Contrary to the claims
made by many respecting the last two ' previous
sessions, this. legislature is a "working legisla
ture." Already more than"ti score of bills have been
.in trHucfrd ajUt moIk orcUijaryinterest and
concern to tho people,, plominent asnong'them be
ing the revenue measiwsj the amended liquor law,
the rearranging of th'e senatorial districts of the
state, the divorce law, th'e marriage1 law, the bill
to levy a poll tax on all citizens regardless pi
age or sex, the state land interest bill,, the bill to
raise the majority age of vomen to 21,, and? others.
That the present legislature is made1 isp of
solid, substantial, broaa"-minded men,, of stmonjr
character and firm determination there can be x
And the people may expect valuable results,,
even though they refused to raise the compensa
tion of the members to where it would have been
u partial recompense for-the.ability and integrity
exacted. , .

If there is a citizen of tftis senatorial district

Photographer Robert Giard died unexpectedly on July 16, 2002 shortly before his 63rd birthday. He participated in our Artist-in-Residence program in 1985, and we continued an active correspondence over the next dozen years. In 1990, we exhibited fifty-two prints from his series Particular Voices, Portraits of Gay and Lesbian Writers, and in 1994 we awarded Giard one of the first grants from our Endowment Fund for Mid-Career Artists to continue his work on the Particular Voices series. The project eventually grew to include 500portraits of significant gay and lesbian literary figures, as well as young, up-and-coming writers. A selection of these portraits was published by MIT Press in 1997.Giard lived for over thirty years in Amagansett, Long Island with his life partner, Jonathan Silin. In addition to portraits, Giard also produced a large body of landscape photographs of eastern Long Island.The following text appeared in the brochure that accompanied Giard's exhibition in Light Work's Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery in 1990, and resonates even more clearly now than it did then.Mortality is an intrinsic attribute of every photographic portrait. The instant light activates the silver halide emulsion of film, a moment described dissolves into a moment remembered. The challenge for the portrait photographer is to enchant the temporal instants of time in front of the camera. When this is achieved the sitter acknowledges the photographer with emotional authenticity and silent conversations.Robert Giard achieves this bond over and over again with the subjects in his ongoing series Particular Voices, Portraits of Gay and Lesbian Writers. Giard is gay and has a background in literature. These personal alliances strengthen the bond of trust and understanding between himself and his subjects and informs the series with a specific and familiar necessity.In the portrait of James Purdy reproduced in this brochure, we see the author tentatively reach out to the mantelpiece for support in a room where he is surrounded by comforting mementos and icons of his personal history. Through this ongoing project Giard offers us all comfort and support as he invites us to recognize the expression of integrity in individuals empowered by strength and courage.Jeffrey Hoone (c)2003The Robert J. Giard, Jr. Memorial Fund has been formed to preserve Robert Giard's photographic legacy and to bring it to a larger public. Most immediately, the fund intends to archive and catalogue all negatives and existing prints, and to house them under appropriate conditions. Donations to the fund can be sent to: Robert J. Giard, Jr., Memorial Fund, c/o Barry Klingman, Waeshaw Burstein Cohen Schlesinger and Kruh, LLP, 555 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10017-2456.

On topic please guys. Why is no one discussing the actual episodeS?
- Seth Mc Farlane isn't that funny
- Family Guy was very recycled from the get go
- the videoshop guy was based off Chris' original design.
Not to be "that guy", but if the extended theme was for Family Guy then it is on-topic.

Loving the new season. First episode was lulz On another note they're doing a sweepstakes. Something like you get to party with Seth Mac Farlane and cast of Family Guy for the 200th episode.

Okay, just saw the episode with the shrooms and the storm and Meg being tired of this bullshit. The thing is, I don't believe this episode. I don't believe the genuinity, or the "message" the writers are probably trying to convey. I don't believe the rant Meg gives, but more importantly, I don't believe the entire episode changes shit. Actually, the most important thing is the credibility of the characters, which is extremely lacking. Most of it isn't even funny. The best part was Brian's shroom trip, and that wasn't even funny, it was downright terrifying, which probably was the intended purpose, so in that regards it's a job well done. If this episode is an indication of how the show goes, I'm done with the show.

@Gary CX Jk A bit over exaggerating on a single episode don't you think? Meg's troubles do kind of bring the family together. In the exact same way that Peter's stupidity ruins the good mood for people sometimes. That's also just a single episode of season 10. Good lord man look at the rest of the season before you come to such harsh conclusions bro. Some reactions to Meg's tirade on the family are pretty hilarious. Overall, RELAX.

The order of abuse is reverse proportional to who deserves it, the nicer and unprovokative a character acts, the worse off they are, the humor is very much designed to be cruel. The main reason Brian's treatment is so divisive is likely because he only gets it when he isn't being a complete tool. Granted they don't exactly help much by adding exposition and actually trying to place it in a serious light. If you made a Sadist Show of the highest order, you can at least not be pretentious about it.

^ So long as Family Guy doesn't daily coast on Meg abuse jokes it's good. Honestly a little overly critical of things. Like Family Guy notes "comedy Hitler" about shit. I have nearly every season in my collection and the jokes dun have too different a tone the latest seasons as they do the current one. Meg jokes were every now and then and she's actually had more episodes with her having a close moment with a family member then you think. Shit I can count them off the top of my head: -Hell Comes to Quaghog (Peter says he "loves" Meg) -Deep Throats (Brian decides to reconsider exposing Meg's relationship with Mayor West) -Road to Rupert (Bonds with Peter) -Peter's Daughter (Peter kicks the shit out of Connie for her) -Barely Legal (Meg and Brian) -Mc Stroke (Peter pissed off at how his mustache is burned off asks if Mc Burger town worker is here to mock him and possibly "rape" his daughter") There are as many Meg jokes as there are episodes with people bonding with her. Think that she's a perpetual loser who doesn't get the spotlight stop kidding yourself. On another note: Looking forward to tomorrow's new episode.

The problem I have with the show isn't Meg being the butt monkey. It's the fact that any sort of message they try to convey doesn't really sound genuine. As if one person said, hey, the message should be this, and the rest just goes, god dammit, who put him in the writing chair today? I don't know how to put this. I've seen some more episodes where I watch and I'm seeing they try their best to convey their message, but in the end, it feels like a "because fuck you, that's why".

I have to agree that it's uneasy how one point they try to convey a really deep message and even try to make the family sentimental, but then the very next go back to being as over the top offensive as possible and making all the cast completely irredeemable bastards to the most active extreme possible. It's even worse since about Season Eight where we've slowly undergone a Cerebus Syndrome and the whimsical slapstick tone that padded the transition between the two extremes has been diluted. Brian Writes A Bestseller goes out of it's way to portray Brian as a completely odious douche with near zero redeeming aspects for example, then the very episode after makes a rather poignant episode about his self sacrificial nature (though still sneak in a subtle Meg abuse gag within it all). And that's not a case where they are doing it in the SAME episode. We've had semi earnest attempts at dealing with abortion and domestic abuse, albeit padded with over the top black comedy in between. It really comes off as 'having your cake and eating it too'.

I'm just gonna tell you guys a story then leave all peaceful like. I sat down and turned on the tv and Family Guy was on and so I began to watch. It turned out to be the episode where Peter goes to the past and accidentally ruins his marriage to Lois and I'm all "oh yeah I remember this episode" and then... Brian starts going on a long and hamfisted spiel about how Peter can't go back in time to remarry Lois because in this time stream Gore won the 2000 election and because of this crime had dropped to zero, there was no teen pregnancy and the energy crisis had been solved. I turned off the TV and haven't watched Family Guy since and have no plans to do so again in the future.
