Google+ users are finding a variety of novel applications for Google's new social media system, whether it's fiddling with Google+ circles, conference "hangouts," or the "+1" button in order to explore the network's potential.
For those keeping score, you can now add Dungeons & Dragons campaigns to the list of activities Google+ is able to facilitate.
Over on the Top Hat Sasquatch blog, writer Rob Lammle is chronicling his experiences using Google+ to host a campaign in the popular role-playing game. After grouping players into a Google+ circle, Lammle interacts with them via Google+ posts and hashtags that allow for game-related communications to be easily found and archived.
And while the gaming aspect of his experiment isn't likely to pique the average G+ user's interest, what it's revealing about the limitations and potential of Google's social media service is intriguing:
While the hashtag search has worked well, I also see this as a real opportunity for Google to make G+ an invaluable tool with a few tweaks to the infrastructure. It would be really great if you could create an exclusive Circle that only includes the people you've invited to join. And, more importantly, the only posts you'd see in that Circle's Stream would be ones that were shared with that Circle specifically. This would eliminate the need for hashtags and really help filter out pictures of cats and funny YouTube videos that you might otherwise post, and only show relevant updates for people in that Circle.
As Lammle notes, resolving the issues he's encountered with using Google+ for Dungeons & Dragons could improve the system for other, more mainstream, applications:
Businesses could use these exclusive Circles to coordinate work on a project even if the participants are in offices that are thousands of miles apart. Students could create an exclusive Circle for a school project and be able to work on it without having to actually get together. A close group of friends could use exclusive Circles to communicate without having to mention each other in every post. It would be ideal for high school classmates coordinating for a 20-year reunion. You could share relevant Google Docs, photos, +1's, links, and join Hangouts with the people in your exclusive Circle, creating a great way to filter out the noise, but still have all the advantages that the Google Plus infrastructure has to offer. It seems like a lot of people could really use such a feature, not just us D&D geeks.
However, there is one thing Google+ lacks in D&D functionality that isn't likely to be resolved any time soon: a way to roll the dice and have both the player and host see the results. Lammle has gotten around this problem by using an online dice-rolling system (complete with "+1" button), though he mentions that a Google Chrome extension could ensure the entire experience is contained within the Google-verse.
And the more time people spend within the Google-verse, the less time they'll spend inviting their Facebook friends to play Mafia Wars or Farmville, right?

Rep. Sires introduces MOVE Act to strengthen freight networkWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
U.S. Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ) introduced the Multimodal Opportunities via Enhanced (MOVE) Freight Act of 2013 on March 5.
Other supporters include U.S. Representatives Adam Smith (D-WA), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Janice Hahn (D-CA), Corrine Brown (D-FL) and Grace Napolitano (D-CA).
The purpose of the act is to strengthen the national freight transportation policy by creating a national plan for moving goods efficiently. The MOVE Act would direct the federal government to ensure the various and essential modes of the freight network are accounted for and provide investment in freight transportation projects.
"With freight volumes expected to more than double by 2040 to nearly $40 trillion annually, it is imperative that our nation craft a strategic, all-inclusive freight policy that provides for the reliable, efficient and safe movement of goods," said Rep. Sires.
The MOVE Freight Act would expand the definition of the national freight network to include rail, navigable waterways, inland ports, seaports, freight intermodal connectors, airports and aerotropolis transportation systems.
In addition, this legislation would create a National Freight Infrastructure Investment Grants program. Eligible projects include port development, freight rail improvement, intelligent transportation systems and other projects to improve goods movement. These competitive grants will be awarded to projects with the highest system performance improvement relative to their benefit-cost analysis.
"Our transportation infrastructure is outdated and growing congestion has led to increased costs across the nation," said Rep. Sires. "This legislation will update the current freight system to ensure our nation is prepared to compete in a global economy."

WTP! Help Wanted with Upcoming Wolfgang Puck Interview
So, I was wondering if you help me out by submitting a question or two that I could use for the interview. Any and all serious ideas are appreciated. I need to submit between 10 and 15 questions to my editors ASAP.
Chef Puck's famous California pizza (pictured here) will be the topic of a few of the questions, but I need more. Thanks!

Ask him what he makes at home (probably been asked a million times already)
Do his kids cook?
Luisa Vacaville
- March 25, 2009 at 12:21 PM
How did he get hooked up with QVC or is it Home Shopping selling his brand cookware on TV? How does he manage his time to oversee his restaurants? Who was his inspiration to learn to cook? Last question, can he do a cooking video with you in the near future? Maybe make apple strudel?
- March 25, 2009 at 12:31 PM
"Have you ever felt like you've lost the appreciation for casual types of food?"
"When did you first realize that you've wanted to become a chef?"
"Is there any downside of being internationally famous?"
Hope these help!
- March 25, 2009 at 12:31 PM
What is, in your mind.. the perfect pizza? (dough / toping)

- Jennifer said...
Any flavor combinations pleasantly surprise you?
In your experiments, have there been any fantastic flops?
- March 25, 2009 at 1:04 PM
Mr Puck,
How do you ensure the quality of each of your restaurants (including Wolfgang "to-go's" found in grocery stores) are up to spec. Do you personally visit each and every establishment (including grocery stores) to guarantee the quality of food is on par with what you envisioned as a master chef?

- PukaDog said...
How's the soup bidness?
What's your favorite comfort food?
Beyond great skill and passion for cooking great food, are there any other specific qualities you look for when hiring a new chef for one of your restaurants?
What do you find are the major differences between the American palette vs. the European palette?
Would you be willing to be the first celebrity chef to share a quick & easy American food video recipe with internet celebrity Chef John for Food Wishes?
- March 25, 2009 at 1:05 PM
- Pam said...
Do you have a best cooking tip for home cooking foodies?
How many hours a day do you work and how many days are you able to spend at home?
What advice do you have for those who choose to go into the restaurant business?
Where and when did your career in food begin? How did you start your own restaurant? Did you have a financial backer or were you able to save money over the years?
Compare the importance of having excellent chef skills with the importance of having general business knowledge with regard to having a successful restaurant.
What are your favorite culinary weapons in the kitchen?
What do you like to eat when you are home?
Do you ever see yourself retired?
- March 25, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Does he wear Mozo shoes? If he cooks with you on your blog would you give him a complimentary pair of Mozo shoes?
- March 25, 2009 at 1:43 PM
and FOR LAST!
are you gonna create a CHOKALATE PIZZA.. cause we all know you love CHOKALATE

- Susannah said...
Why has he had such staying power esp in hollywood where chefs and restaurants come and go faster than lottery winnings in a trailer park?
He has been around forever and I'd like to know how he handles the pressure of staying current and fresh and innovative with food. Does he hire people to develop new recipes or is he constantly trying to create his own new dishes much like a musician writing new songs? Also, if he knew there was a woman in NC who was his number 1 fan would he send her a deep dish pumpkin pie with cranberry marmalade even if it's not Thanksgiving?
- March 25, 2009 at 2:42 PM
- foofifofum said...
Has he tried the no-knead method of making dough, and his opinion or tip making pizza dough for home use.

Is the popularity of all the cooking shows, schools, etc raising the bar for American cuisine? Or is it really more entertainment than education? (With the exception of Chef John, who manages both beautifully!)

Would you ever considering bringing your culinary talents and experience to a public school system? To revamp school food as it commonly known (bland, unexciting, little variety, and not to mention not very nutritious)? Better school lunches - with gourmet items and more tasteful fare - would benefit kids by helping their body and mind, thereby improving learning and academic success.
- March 25, 2009 at 3:41 PM
Murphy is Murphy in german.... but then its not Murphy's "law", but Murphys "Gesetz".
You could ask him, whether he thinks there are any differences between european's and american's appreciation of food.

Is Wolfgang Puck a diner or an eater?
Does the ideal gastronomy exist or is it the gastronomy of every one of us?
What is your fondest food memory as a child?
What is your food wish? (ha,ha)
- March 25, 2009 at 4:26 PM
Chef John, here're a few:
> So Wolfgang, what's up with the name ?
> I've never heard of you, who are you ?
> Is Puck a real name ? It sounds kinda made up!
Glad I could help, I've got more from where that came from.
- March 25, 2009 at 4:50 PM
What's your favorite restaurant (after your own)?
What do you like to snack on when no one else is around because you don't want anyone to know?
- March 25, 2009 at 5:38 PM
- Hygienist said...
What does he like to eat when HE goes to the restaurant?
Does he have any guilty pleasures when it comes to food? You know the stuff you wouldn't expect to see a famous chef eat but he loves anyway.
- March 25, 2009 at 5:41 PM
Chef John, I do not have a question, but I think you have the smartest most awesome tribe... what brilliant questions they have suggested for you. Have fun!
- March 25, 2009 at 6:55 PM
How did he become a chef? When did he get started? What are some of his favorite styles of food? How has his cooking style evolved?
- March 25, 2009 at 7:00 PM
- Vince said...
Here's a question for Chef Puck:
Since you are a famous chef, are your friends and family reluctant to cook for you in fear that you might consider their cooking to be less sophisticated or flavorful than yours?
- March 25, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Is there any food you won't eat or even try?
If you see patrons at your restaurants leave lots of food on the plate uneaten, do you get upset?
- March 25, 2009 at 7:14 PM
- Stephanie said...
Hey that's cool. I work for his catering company in Vegas. Never met him though...
Maybe bring up about how he likes his restaurants to be as organic and natural as possible?
- March 25, 2009 at 8:33 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes, Breeze, we have THE smartest, most knowledgeable foodies anywhere online! Thanks everyone!!
- March 25, 2009 at 9:31 PM
Have you seen the best food videos on the net? Food Wishes? If so, which is your favorite one?
- March 25, 2009 at 9:50 PM
You could ask Chef Puck if he has any dishes that he has created which could be described as Austian-American fusion. What does he consider the hallmark dishes or techniques associated with Austria.
I would like to know...because I can only think of Wiener Schnitzel!!
Love you work Chef John!!
- March 25, 2009 at 10:15 PM
- m33rak said...
Wow that's an honor to speak to Wolfgang Puck. Yeah Murphy's Law really sucks...
A few decent question would be:
Who cooks at the house?
What is your legacy?
- March 26, 2009 at 12:01 AM
You should ask him what inspired him to become a professional chef.
You could ask him his go to recipe for getting the ladies
- March 26, 2009 at 12:10 AM
Thanks Chef John for the opportunity to help you here.
Q: As a chef, what has been your biggest challenges when cooking, and what have been your biggest obsticles you feel you still have to work on?
Q: Looking back over your career and experiences, what has been a most special or anecdotal experience that really impressed you or on your cooking?
Q: what advice do you have for folks who cook and who constantly strive to be better in the kitchen and prepare food that others can appreciate and enjoy?
Q: Can you share a few of your most favorite recipes or meals?
Q: What is in the future plans for you as a chef and businessman?
- March 26, 2009 at 1:17 AM
You should challenge him to a pizza cooking throwdown. chef john style. and before the battle begins you should spit a freestyle verse
"This is chef john and I'm reppin the hood
Did you try my molten lava cake?
The hunnies said it's too good
Now I'm not trying to start a fire
With my no knead recipes
But when I cook I can see the desire
In yo mama's eyes, she said I was the best she ever seen."
- March 26, 2009 at 3:52 AM
Ask him what the challenges are of being both a celebrity and a serious chef.
- March 26, 2009 at 8:46 AM
- Chef John said...
thanks for the rhyme, but don't quit your day job. ;-)
- March 26, 2009 at 10:35 AM
Since I'm probably too late here to offer a question, I figured that I'd like to speak for all of your fans and say: I'd like to hear Chef John answer most of these questions.
(The questions about "What's it like having your own restaurant, etc." not-withstanding.)
Scott - Boston
- March 26, 2009 at 10:46 AM
Does he watch any of the chef/cooking reality shows like Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, Top Chef or the like and what does he think of them.
- March 26, 2009 at 11:42 AM
Hi Chef John,
Here are a few possible questions for Wolfgang Puck. Hope they help.
What was your initial inspiration for opening Spago Beverly Hills?
Do you feel that winning the James Beard Foundation Outstanding Service Award (Spago Beverly Hills) and 2 Michelin Stars has made a difference for you as a chef and restaurateur?
- March 26, 2009 at 11:43 AM
- Le Bon Vivant said...
Whats your opinion on the new wave of chefs trying to distinguish themselves by moving away from classic, traditional dishes and towards experimental cooking & molecular gastronomy?
- March 26, 2009 at 5:18 PM
i don't know if i'm to late (most likely) but i would ask what inspired him to make a california type of pizza? what is his favorite thing to eat when sick, lonely, or happy? what would be your very last meal if you could pick? :D just some questions i thought of. i don't know that much about him sorry. but good luck :) can't wait to see how it went.
- March 26, 2009 at 5:19 PM
- Heidi / Savory Tv said...
OK I'll play!
- In the current state of economic hardship, many cooks are looking for ways to cook meat affordably without sacrificing quality. Do you have any favorite meat recipes that would fit the bill?
- What are your thoughts on restaurants serving overfished fish, such as Chilean Sea Bass?
- If you had to choose one of your pizza recipes as your last meal, which one would you choose?
There are my three cents! :) Heidi
- March 26, 2009 at 9:48 PM
How much was his mother an influence on his cooking and him becoming a chef?
What are his favorite Austrian recipes from his childhood?
What one dish represents true comfort food for him personally?
Is he planning to retire, or will he keep working?
- March 28, 2009 at 4:28 AM
If it's not too late, here's a question for the chef, Wolfgang Puck, "If President Obama called and asked him to come up with a complete day's menu and serve it at the White House for the First Family, what would he create?
- March 30, 2009 at 5:46 PM
You're on death row. Whats your last meal
- April 2, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Ask him if he would like to add fresh hearts of palm to his frozen Pizzas?

Carmi-White County Middle School held their annual Winter Concert at the gymnasium Wednesday, Dec. 13. Under the direction of Roger Thompson, students from sixth, seventh and eighth grades participated in art displays, choral performances and band.
Carmi-White County Middle School held their annual Winter Concert at the gymnasium Wednesday, Dec. 13. Under the direction of Roger Thompson, students from sixth, seventh and eighth grades participated in art displays, choral performances and band.
The evening got underway with the CWCMS Choir singing several favorites, including "Baby, It's Cold Outside," "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town" and "Blue Christmas." Chance Hamblin sang a vocal solo during "Blue Christmas."
The CWCMS Jazz Band then took the stage to perform "Feliz Navidad" and "Frosty The Snowman." Several students provided solo performances during the presentations with Chance Hamblin performing a tenor sax solo and Abigail Garner and Madison Childers providing trumpet solos. Also, Eva Ochs performed a solo during "Feliz Navidad."
The full band then entered the stage for the final session of the concert. They performed "Carols of Joy," "Joyful and Triumphant," "Rock the Halls" and "Ding Dong Merrily on High." Thompson asked the audience to join in and sing along on the final song.
Thompson noted this was his last Winter Concert and he will have one more concert in May before leaving as band director at the middle school. He thanked the school staff and Principal Terry Gholson for their support of the program and also pointed out the displays of art that were scattered in the back of the gym under the direction of Art Teacher Kate Simmons.
Members of the band include Jeni Ackerman, Liliana Allen, Cole Blazer, Charlie Blazier, Carson Boren, Joshua Bovenkerk, Haydn Browning, Madison Childers, Kerston Clodfelter, Ashtyn Cowling, Jonathan Cribbs, Jacob Ferguson, Samantha Foote, Peyton Frymire, Alec Garner, Abigail Garner, Chance Hamblin, Kera Harrington, Josie Harrison, Sophie Jones, Lauren Kreps, Brittany Little, Robert-Michael Midkiff, Deanne Miller, Desiree Moore, Dakota Mullins, Eva Ochs, Morgan Osborne, Riley Paynter, Matthew Raney, Jeffrey Rawlinson, Haley Roedder, Dalton Sale, Larry Shelton, Grace Sinclair, Tyler Spence, Brianna Stocke, Kaylee Wagner and Dillon Womack.
Members of the choir include Lilianna Allen, Brittany Anderson, Carson Boren, Emily Brown, Hadyn Browning, Alexia Chambliss, Madison Childers, Linzy Clark, Kerston Clodfelter, Lacy Cotton, Ashtyn Cowling, Ashley Davis, Angie Davis, Jalen Wilkerson-Dunbar, Jacob Ferguson, Peyton Frymire, Abigail Garner, Adrenne Goff, Chance Hamblin, Kera Harrington, Josie Harrison, Natalie Howard, Brittany Little, Deanne Miller, Eva Ochs, Donovan Overturf, Jeffrey Rawlinson, Haley Roedder, Hannah Smith, Brianna Stocke, Samantha Trail, Rachel Vetter, Kaylee Wagner and Whitney York.

As some folks already pointed out, I got an article in the latest ish of Shambhala Sun. It's the March, 2008 issue. You'll recognize it because it's the issue of Shambhala Sun with the Dalai Lama on the cover. Oh wait, the Dalai Lama is on the cover of every issue of Shambhala Sun. So it's the Buddhist mag that has the picture of the Dalai Lama on the cover. No, that won't work, they all have the Dalia Lama on the cover of every single issue. OK. It's the mag on the stands at your local new age book store with the Dalai Lama on the cover. No, that won't do either....
Just look on page 32 or 33 of every mag with the Dalai Lama on it and see if there's an article by me there with a picture of the Dalai Lama accompanying it.
Actually, it's a picture of Nansen slicing up a kitty cat. I guess they ran out of photos of Mr. Lama. Or they didn't have one of him knifing a kitten.
I got a few upcoming gigs. So those of you who write me saying it's distasteful that I plug my speaking gigs and retreats here, please avert your eyes:
February 29 - March 2 Retreat at the Atlanta Soto Zen Center. I don't have contact info yet. So just check the webpage & see who it says to contact for info.
April 25 - 27 Retreat at Southern Dharma Retreat Center in North Carolina. Again, I don't have contact info, so check the website.
May 4th 0DFX gig at Kent State University (May 4th, 1970 was the day four students were shot by the National Guard at Kent State, the event immortalized in Neil Young's song "Ohio")
The annual Dogen Sangha Zen Retreat will be held in Shizuoka, Japan in early September and I'm planning to be there as well.

Unit Leader Conference
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 25)
One of the most enjoyable experiences of being a Scoutmaster is the opportunity for a Scout and his leader to sit down and visit together.
In large troops, Scoutmasters occasionally assign this responsibility to assistant Scoutmasters or members of the troop committee; but this is unfortunate, because most Scoutmasters feel that this is truly the opportunity to get to know the Scout and help him chart his course in life.
A good conference should be unhurried. It helps the Scout evaluate his accomplishments and to set new goals with his Scoutmaster. This can be accomplished at a troop meeting, camping trip, or in the Scout's home.
Goal setting by the Scout makes it possible for the Scoutmaster to help the Scout with his weaknesses and encourage him to use his strengths.
The Scout (joining) conference is probably one of the most important associations a Scout will have in his Scouting career. It is at this conference that the Scoutmaster illustrates to him the adult-youth relationship that is unique to Scouting.
All through the ranks, it is rewarding for the Scoutmaster to observe the Scout grow in responsibility and maturity. It is through this association and example that a young man grows and matures, and the Scoutmaster conference accomplishes that aim. (See Scoutmaster Handbook, chapter 10.)
The requirements for advancement is that the Scout participates in a Scoutmaster Conference, not that he ''passes'' the conference. When advancement is going to be deferred, the Scout should not come to the Scoutmaster conference thinking that everything is OK and then be surprised that his advancement is deferred. He should have had plenty of warning and guidance prior to the Scoutmaster conference. This is not the time to shut the door on advancement, but rather to work with the Scout to create goals that will allow him to succeed. However, even after a negative Scoutmaster conference for the ranks of Tenderfoot to Life, if the Scout desires a board of review, he should be granted his request.

Projection enthusiasts will remember January 2010 as the month of their emancipation — the moment when, at long last, they were freed from the expense of regular maintenance on their projectors. As I write this, numerous companies have begun shipping the first LED-based DLP models designed for home theater use. In place of a UHP lamp, these projectors use LEDs rated to last between 20,000 and 100,000 hours, compared with 2,000 to 3,000 hours for most UHP lamps. The only maintenance an LED projector should need is occasional cleaning of its cooling-fan filter.
The first LED projector to splash its light on my screen is the Digital Projection M-Vision Cine LED, a relatively compact unit from a company known for large-venue professional projectors. Like other members of LED projection's first generation, the Cine LED commands a premium price. But DP promises you'll get 60,000 hours from those LEDs, which means you can run the Cine LED 8 hours a day for more than 20 years.
UHP lamps start to dim and shift color noticeably after about 1,000 hours, necessitating frequent readjustment of the projector's picture controls. LEDs, however, are said to maintain consistent performance through most of their lifespan. Because LED projectors designed for home theater use employ separate red, green, and blue LEDs, they don't need the rotating color wheel that lamp-driven single-chip DLP projectors have — and as a result, they don't produce those projectors' annoying color fringing.
LEDs also hold the potential for better contrast and deeper blacks. While UHP lamps can be dimmed only partially, LEDs can be dimmed to any level from full on to full off — and they can make the change in a fraction of a second. That means their brightness can be adjusted on a frame-by-frame basis to optimize contrast. This is the same principle as the auto-iris functions found in many projectors, but because it works faster, it has the potential to lessen or eliminate the "pumping" effect that we see with some auto-iris features. The Cine LED includes this feature under the name Dynamic Black.
LEDs also produce more intense color saturation than UHP lamps do, so they can deliver a broader range (or gamut) of colors. However, these extra colors lie outside the range of what's available in current HDTV productions — so unless the manufacturer employs some technology to make use of that extra color (and thus enhance the color in an artificial way), this capability yields little benefit for now. The Cine LED looks and works like an ordinary home theater projector. It comes with a fairly simple remote control and has a complete set of controls on the back. Digital Projection also offers a wide selection of lens options for the MVision Cine LED to suit all sorts of installations.
From an installation standpoint, the Cine LED offers all the luxury of a Motel 6. Focus and zoom are manual, and you need a metric Allen wrench to adjust horizontal and vertical lens shift. But just as a Motel 6 feels the same as the Ritz- Carlton once you're asleep, the Cine LED's lens adjustments pose no problems once set. The zoom range is limited compared with many other projectors, but if your installer mounts the projector correctly, this won't cause problems.
Otherwise, the Cine LED sets up just like any other projector. At the 6,500-K color temperature setting, it's factory-calibrated to near perfection. Even the brightness and contrast controls barely needed adjustment; the Cine LED seems like it's calibrated specifically for the Stewart StudioTek 100 screen I use and the dark environment of my home theater.
I'd been led to believe that the first generation of LED projectors wouldn't be able to match the brightness of lamp-based models. This prediction proved accurate in the case of the Cine LED, which on my 80-inch-wide screen maxed out at 16.2 footlamberts after calibration. That's low for a projector in this price range, but bright enough for a modestly sized screen like mine in an environment with well-controlled lighting.
I'd also been led to believe that LED would eliminate the long warm-up and cool-down that UHP lamps require. Instant gratification was dashed, though, as I waited 40 seconds for the Cine LED to show a picture after I hit the Power button. But when I powered down, the picture went black and the fan stopped in about 1 second.

Boy talk about talent.I usually get mad at Michael Moore's movies, not because I disagree with everything he says, but that he isn't ever sure of what his message really is. He just is mad about something and wants you to get mad with him. This time he actually encourages us to start a full blown revolution- but doesn't tell us specifically what to revolt against or how to go about doing it. I guess he just wants us to get shot in the streets.
Only Pete could take the ugliest white man in the world
and make him look this cute.
Only Pete could take the ugliest white man in the world
and make him look this cute.
"Capitalism - A Love Story" definitely made me mad, more with him than at him this time, but he's still pretty vague about what the problems really are and even more so on what the solution to the problems are.
He succeeds in making you hate Wall Street Corporate snakes and crooked politicians - both liberal and conservative, but did we really need a movie to convince us of what most of us already knew anyway?
Vague Message - Did Capitalism Ever Work?
Like in all his movies he implies that he believes in 2 opposite propositions. This time he suggests that Capitalism worked great under F.D.R. He shows clips of America during its most happy and prosperous times- the 1950s and early 60s, the age of the luxurious middle-class (which I actually experienced.)
But then, from the other side of his mouth he explains that this period of American prosperity was only possible because we went around starting unjust wars with the rest of the world and blew up all their factories. That killed all competition from kindly Nazis and other wonderful cultures and allowed us to be the world's greatest manufacturers and exporters, and therefore rich and happy in every class.
I thought this was extremely simplistic and dishonest.
He left out the fact that we used to make innovative and quality products that people naturally liked and then after the Hippies we stopped doing that.
College Loans
He, like many uber-liberals seems to think it's a crime that every kid can't afford to go to college and that the loaning companies charge exorbitant interest to the poor kids who just want a decent education.
This assumes that we all agree that every kid needs college, and worse that every college actually provides you with a practical education. No one ever questions these unproven assumptions, which I find astonishing.
Why does nobody do a documentary about how colleges are dishonest, charge way too much tuition and don't teach you anything useful?
I'm not talking about every college. There surely must be some practical ones - trade schools that teach plumbing, electricity or carpentry. Universities that teach math, science, medicine and technology. You can't learn those things on your own. You need experts from their fields to share their knowledge with you.
But do we really need kids to spend 4 years learning such subjective vagaries as "humanities" and "Liberal arts". Think of all the money wasted on this stuff, and all the time being stolen from the kids and the economy. This is a time when the average person has the most energy and optimism and could be spending their time doing and learning something productive. Instead they are sitting asleep at their desks learning about how the white man is the most evil of all races and that all knowledge is vague and subjective, and that you should spend all your time arguing against the man, but never accomplish anything tangible.
At least those colleges call their courses "liberal arts" which is somewhat honest, but now this "liberal arts" vagueness and political propaganda has migrated to what used to be honest trade schools and that's even more scary.
I can speak here from direct experience. I went to a trade school to learn animation, and they barely taught anything practical. The teachers themselves couldn't do it and could not draw as well as half the students- and it's gotten worse since then. They sure didn't teach you to be humorous.
It's bad enough that the kids, their parents and the economy all have to suffer for these crazy expenses - but what did the students (and the country) really get for all this money changing?
As far as I can tell, practically nothing. Just about every student who has ever come to me with a diploma and a portfolio of 5 second life drawings has to be retrained - to just be able to barely function on a cheesy TV cartoon!
They have to unlearn their school style. This is very hard and very expensive - to me- because the kids don't even know they have a school style.
I've hired talented kids who taught themselves to animate at school by trial and error - but they couldn't read exposure sheets! This meant I couldn't direct them right away because they couldn't read my directions. So I had to teach them how to read the sheets.
They also would not learn how to clean up their own drawings because that was frowned upon by the school. In the real world, someone has to clean up an animator's drawings - but no one is being taught how to do it. The schools don't seem to regard the problems of the real world as being important.
The students also have real trouble breaking out of formula because they have not been exposed to a lot of different cartoon styles. They usually can only draw a handful of repetitive over-used "animation expressions" from bland 80s Disney cartoons.
I have yet to find a modern art, cartoon or animation school that spends their 4 years with practical useful teaching of real world skills and techniques.
I always end up doing the job of the schools for them after the students graduate with a useless degree (the degrees are to impress the parents we producers don't care a whit about them. We just want you to be able to do your job well)- only I don't get grants from the banks to teach people.
I can only imagine that this goes on not just in my own profession but across the country in many other trades that used to be highly skilled.
While all these millions of kids are going to vague colleges and piling up huge debt, the jobs they are seeking are all being sent overseas to 3rd world countries who do it more efficiently - and a lot cheaper. No one wants the few crappy goods we make anymore. Except rap music of course. I bet there are even rap colleges now. Learn to be an self-loving idiot for $150,000.
That tells me that hundreds of billions of dollars are just being thrown away in our "education" system and that the system itself needs to be revolutionized. Instead we have liberals crying that we need to take more tax-payer money to throw away on these criminal schools who already charge ridiculous tuition and give nothing useful in return.
Why is no one going after the schools? If anyone should be regulated it should be these criminal institutions, not just the banks who feed the loans to the poor kids who spend 4 years learning to be vague.
Corporate Management - no one mentions this
Everyone hates the CEOs, but what about all the levels of middle-management? Tons and tons of people came into their business sideways, who have no idea how to make the products that the company is supposed to produce and use hippie-wiccan theories to spend the company's money telling those who actually do know how to make the products to do it wrong.
Think of our industry...how much money is wasted in front of your very ideas on doing nothing? ...before you ever get to see a dime to actually make a cartoon.
No One Should Be allowed To Get Rich?
Moore suggests this, but of course as even Larry King points out, Michael is pretty rich himself. Moore has only a stuttering answer for this. It was as if he never even expected the question to be asked.
He also suggess that the workplace should be democratic, which I think is insane, but have no time right now to get into that.
Shouldn't people who actually create a product and make it well and hire lots of people to help him have the incentive to make money from their inventions? (like Henry Ford or Walt Disney?) I think so, but the system is now completely against it and that is never mentioned in anybody's arguments for or against capitalism.
He Used Jesus To Appeal To Stupid People Who Usually are Republicans and Therefore Side With The Republicans
He uses the same trick that Republicans do. he finds the dumbest white trash folks and uses Jesus against them, only this time to get them to switch from Republican to Socialist beliefs - which is what they should believe in the first place, considering their condition and the treatment they get from corporations and government.
Honestly, I half agree with him here. I myself have always wondered how Republicans - who favor the rich and blatantly oppress the poor, yet the poor white folks are the ones that support this oppression the most fervently. They want to get their guns out and go kill the dirty colored man who is trying to help them (not that I agree in how he is trying to).

Hometown singer/songwriter Dylan Robinson's face can now be seen in local WalMart stores.
Robinson, whose stage name is Dylan Scott, is presently touring with FLW, the world's premier tournament fishing organization and will perform at multiple Walmart FLW Tour events in 2013. His five-song debut CD is available exclusively at WalMart and his single, "Makin' This Boy Go Crazy," is available on iTunes
The CD, produced by Music City legend, Jim Ed Norman, is self-named for more than the obvious reasons: "It says everything about me, honestly," explains the 22 year old, whose speaking voice is as soulful as his singing. "There's not a song on there that doesn't relate to who I am."
Take, for example, "Turn Rows", a perfect nugget of spirited rural fun and youthful enterprise in the cornfields. Or "Grandaddy's Gun", which captures the rite of passage for a boy who grows-up bonding with the men who teach him the ways of the woods.
"There's a spiritual quality to hunting," shares this avid outdoorsman, talking about his favorite pastime. "I usually sit in the stand by myself. It's nice and quiet. You don't hear anything but wind and birds. You watch the sun come up. It's a peaceful thing."
The 22-year-old Bastrop native is signed to Sidewalk Records, a division of Curb Records, in Nashville. Along with the FLW tour, Scott, along with brother Logan, is currently on a nationwide radio tour.
Scott is not a stranger to music or performing in front of an audience. He has been around gospel music and musicians all of his life. His father, Scotty Robinson, performed for years with country legend Freddy Hart and also with Freddy Fender.
The Robinson musical roots go back further than one generation. Scotty's uncle, L.L. Robinson and his daughters, Linda and Rita, along with Janet Downey and Tony Brown had a gospel group called the Robinettes in the late '60s. Linda went on to play for the Spear Family, The Blackwoods and The Stamps.
Aunt Marie Jarvis was also well-known in the gospel community. She played piano for JD Sumner and the Stamps and often entertained the Florida Boys and the Happy Goodmans at her home on the Crossett Highway. A few years before her death, she was awarded the Pioneer Award for her piano style in Southern Gospel Music.
"It was nothing for us to go see Aunt Marie and have a tour bus parked in her yard," said Scotty.
When Linda, who taught at the Stamps School of Music, returned to Bastrop, she brought Tony Brown with her. He was a piano student and she saw the potential he had. Brown went on to play piano for Elvis Presley and then became a music record producer for George Strait, Vince Gill, Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn.
Scotty says his aunts heard him play when he was a little boy and got him into gospel music; he started playing country later on and moved to Nashville, where he eventually played for Hart and Fender.
"Because I have been around music my whole life, I knew pretty early that Dylan had something special," said Scotty. "I taught him to sing 'Do Lord' when he was about two and a half, and he was on-key and loud even then."
Scotty went on to teach Dylan popular songs like "I Like My Women Just a Little on the Trashy Side" and "Chatahoochie."
Dylan continued to sing and while in high school, joined the gospel trio "Eleventh Hour" and traveled throughout the South. He left the group to pursue his dream; he has performed at the Louisiana Hayride and with many Grand Ole Opry members and won the local Colgate Country Music Showdown in 2007.
As a senior at Bastrop High School, Dylan wrote a song to perform at the annual talent show. "Strop City Thang" became the class song, which Dylan performed on class night.

Marianah Hidayat is the sole proprietor of Marianahs Authentic Cuisine, the newest business to occupy the yellow food truck beside 6th Street Liquor, but shes the first to say she never could have started the venture alone.
Hidayat, an immigrant from Indonesia who also is a single mother, got help from a wide array of organizations that are standard resources for small-business startups, including the Southwest Colorado Small Business Development Center, the Womens Resource Center and the Four Corners Immigrant Resource Center.
But she also got assistance from a source that doesnt usually play a role in business incubation or local economic development a Unitarian Fellowship. Hidayat received a $265 loan from the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango after Maureen Maliszewski, chairwoman of the fellowships social-justice group, heard about Hidayat and decided she could find a way to help her. Maliszewski said she thought Hidayats situation aligned with several of the churchs focuses including economic justice, economic development in the community and immigration issues.
The church used money from its community fund, which is comprised of member donations, to finance the loan that Hidayat used to pay for a business license. Hidayat has since paid back the amount in full, Maliszweski said.
She is a remarkable woman, Maliszweski wrote in an email explaining the situation.
The church hasnt developed a formal loan program, but it is looking to start one after this experience, she said.
While the idea of churches becoming lenders hasnt yet caught on in Southwest Colorado, the concept could have legs, said Joe Keck, director of the Small Business Development Center.
I would think it does have some potential for providing capital that might be hard to come by for small microenterprises, he said, suggesting a church-lending program could help its members become more self-sustaining.
Churches could help fill a niche in the community, Keck said.
Elsewhere in the nation, churches have started to catch on to the idea of microfinancing as a way to fight poverty and promote economic sustainability in developing nations.
The Unitarian Congregation in Salem, Ore., funded a microfinance operation in Laos in 2009, said Carol Doolittle, who helped organize the operation. The churchs revolving loan fund now has about $13,700 and helps Laotians earn an income through activities such as silk and bamboo weaving, Doolittle said.
Hope International is one of a handful of faith-based organizations working on microenterprise development projects. Peter Greer, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania-based organization said an increasing number of churches are seeing microfinance as a more effective way to solve poverty in the developing world.
The potential for churches to expand as lenders is large, Greer said.
People in the faith community are extraordinarily generous. If you think of all the money that is used to address the causes of poverty and if some increased amount could go toward more prevention (of povertys causes), I get very excited about the potential impact, Greer said. We have been doing a disservice when we dont recognize that some of the principles of business are some of the best ways to help the poor.

By The Humane Society of the United States
Many pet owners, at one point or another, are faced with unexpected veterinary bills. Veterinary medicine has progressed so far that now pet owners have new, and often expensive, options for the care of their ailing pets. Although the cost of veterinary care is actually very reasonable in comparison with the much higher cost of human health care, an unexpected medical emergency can present a major financial dilemma for an unprepared pet owner.
The Humane Society of the United States recommends that, in addition to preparing for routine pet-care costs, you regularly set aside savings to cover for unexpected veterinary bills. Create a special "pet savings account" and contribute money to it on a regular basis.
If, despite your planning, your pet incurs major veterinary expenses that you have trouble affording, consider these suggestions:
Please remember that, depending on the severity of your pet's illness or injury, you may still lose your pet even after great expense. Discuss the prognosis and treatment options thoroughly with your veterinarian, including whether surgery or treatment would just cause your animal discomfort without preserving a life of good quality.
Also remember that a little preventive care can go a long way. Having your pet spayed or neutered, keeping her shots up to date, and keeping your pet safely confined can prevent serious and costly health problems. If you have trouble affording the cost to spay or neuter your pet, contact your local animal shelter. They may operate a clinic or know of a local clinic that offers subsidized services. You can find the name and number of your local shelter in the Yellow Pages of your phone book under "animal shelter," animal control," or "humane society," or by calling Information.
Unfortunately, due to our limited resources as a nonprofit animal protection organization, The HSUS does not provide direct financial assistance to pet owners for veterinary or any other expenses. If you know of any veterinary assistance services, funds, or low-cost veterinary clinics, please let us know by calling 202-452-1100.

MONTREAL — The chassidic communities of Outremont are hoping to avoid the conflict that marred its Purim festivities in that borough last year after efforts to find accommodation failed.
A proposal before the borough council earlier this month to reduce the chances of another confrontation like the one that occurred on the street between councillor Céline Forget and some chassidic youths in 2012 was rejected.
Forget, a longtime crusader against the Chassidim's alleged violations of municipal regulations, got into a heated argument with some revellers after she took photos of their activities during Purim of last year. The clash, which drew the police, was posted on YouTube and viewed by many.
Purim in Outremont in 2012
On Feb. 4, the borough council chose to not vote on recommendations by its Comité consultatif sur les relations intercommunautaires aimed at ensuring that this weekend's holiday be peaceful.
A source of irritation to Forget and some residents is the chassidic tradition of teenaged boys going from house to house in their neighbourhoods by minibuses spreading cheer and collecting charitable donations.
The opponents point to the fact that 10 years ago, the council passed a bylaw prohibiting embarking and disembarking from intercity buses in Outremont. It stemmed from complaints about the Chassidim's use of large chartered buses for regular travel between Montreal and New York.
Mindy Pollak, a member of the Comité consultatif and a founding member the Friends of Hutchison (Street), said in an opinion piece in the Montreal Gazette that there was no objection to the minibuses until 2009, when Forget was elected as an independent councillor.
After last year's dust-up, representatives of the chassidic communities requested that the bylaw be amended to exempt the smaller vehicles.
The Comité consultatif recommended a two-day exemption for this year's Purim celebrations on Feb. 23 and 24, and continued deliberation on a long-term solution.
The Chassidim agreed to distribute pamphlets explaining the holiday and to minimize inconvenience to others by, for example, paying attention to where they parked.
Pollak believes the majority of the council was in favour of the amendment, but it was removed from the agenda of the Feb. 4 meeting, and replaced by a "watered-down version."
According to her account, three people spoke out against any changes to the 2003 bylaw. When no one seconded the altered amendment, it was dropped.
The Chassidim are now looking for alternative means of shuttling the youngsters around.
B'nai Brith Canada supported an exemption for the holiday "to allow a joyous Jewish religious holiday to be celebrated in a safe environment.
"The bylaw passed by the borough in 2003 was never designed to ban minibuses inside of Outremont, rather larger intercity buses," said national legal council Steven Slimovitch, who hopes there will not be a recurrence of the "extremely regrettable" confrontation of 2012.
However, B'nai Brith concedes that numerous buses, no matter how compact, could be dangerous and suggests that "a single reasonably-sized bus" be used.
The organization also wanted assurances that the chassidic boys "not fall victim… to harassment and intimidation.
"It seems mean-spirited to want to quash children's enjoyment of Purim through street celebrations. Nobody would think of trying to close down the public face of Halloween."

In their second forum Thursday, candidates for Durango City Council showed conservative and liberal differences and made some goofy campaign promises, too.
To protect himself against a recall like the one thats being organized against state Rep. Mike McLachlan for his gun-control votes, candidate Dean Brookie said he would always protect your right to bear plastic bags.
At the end of a long-winded discussion about organic treatment for city parks that segued to the city dog park, Brookie also pledged that If elected to City Council, I promise there will be a Snowdown skit next year on organic dog parks.
Issues such as organic parks and plastic bags helped show the differences in candidates perspectives.
Keith Brant, owner of Durango Premier Vacation Rental, and Jordan Golson, a technology journalist, took a more conservative, limited-government line on most issues at the forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of La Plata County.
Brant and Golson argued that the city needed to focus its attention on its aging infrastructure. While very complimentary of the citys new utilities director, Steve Salka, Brant struggled to remember his name, calling him the sewage guy.
When asked about the need for living-wage jobs, Brant said Durango is a tourism-based economy and its mostly service-sector jobs were a fact of life.
We cant change the market. Brant said. Were not China.
Neither Brant nor Golson would say whether climate change was the result of human causes or just a cyclical change in environment.
I think the climate is always changing, Golson said.
Golson also said government should not dictate to consumers how they should carry their groceries to their car.
When Golson asked why the city was so concerned about plastic bags and not the smoke billowing from the trains, Brookie responded that the city has asked the railroad in the past to work on its smokestacks.
Brookie and Christina Rinderle, the only incumbent in the race, seemed to take more liberal positions.
Rinderle said: I do think climate change is a real thing. Im not a climate denier in any respect.
While she would not support an outright ban on plastic bags, she thought a nominal fee like 5 cents on plastic or paper bags at the grocery checkout line was important to create an environmental awareness in the consumer.
Rinderle also differed with Brant on organic treatments for parks. Brant said: Im not convinced spending $36,000 on a consultant to put molasses and kelp (on lawns) is that important.
Rinderle said the issue was not on my radar until local activists packed the council chambers to argue passionately for organic treatment of parks. She said the role of a councilor is to represent the interests of his or her constituency.
Floyd Patterson, a former school board member, pledged to make himself accessible to residents, if elected. Kristen Smith, a server at Ska Brewing Co., could not make the forum at City Hall because of work.
Golson, who tweeted before the forum that he was ready to rock, differed with Brant on Internet service, saying he supported some infrastructure improvements to increase speed. Golson said Internet speed is three to four times faster in New York, Boston or San Francisco.
At the end of the night, when Rinderle complimented all the candidates for their commitment, Golson quipped, I will take that as an endorsement.
The election will be decided April 2.

[Alt: I'm not listening to you. I mean, what does a SQUIRREL know about mental health?]
Of course, there's also the problem of the fact that the logic in the comic doesn't make sense: How is it "sane" to have a hallucination so extreme that it generates its own meta-hallucination? That's not sane at all. What's sane is not hallucinating.
Anyway, then you find out that no, he is not sane, he is hallucinating for some reason and there is a talking squirrel. The joke is: He thinks he might be crazy, but he might not be, and then it turns out he is crazy. Ha!
Perhaps I've mentioned before that bad exposition - in anything - really bothers me. This happens all the time in movies and TV shows, and it generally bugs me when it's so noticeable. So, needless to say, the first panel of this comic is about as bad as you can get on that point. "The sleep deprivation madness worsens," with 3 little bubbles of some kind above his head (the bubbles represent the fact that he is tired, apparently). Generally we might want to know why this fellow is sleep deprived; the reason might even be funny. But we don't get that, we get: He is tired - accept it. I think it's the word "worsens" that is bothering me - it makes me feel like there is a backstory that we don't know. And it's unnecessary! If he had said "God, I haven't slept forever. I'm so tired." Not great, but at least it's not implying that this is Part II to a sleep deprived adventure.
Ah, for the good old days of sleep deprived comics...
The Overcompensating book came in the mail the other day but I haven't had time to review it. Hopefully soon! The book is very strange.

Since I got back from the trip a couple of weeks ago I've been busy trying to get caught up.
Since I got back from the trip a couple of weeks ago I've been busy trying to get caught up. I know that anyone who has been gone for very long can relate. That means that I haven't been able to watch as much news as I would like. But, that's not necessarily a bad thing since my blood pressure seems to be better when I watch less news.
But, I did happen to catch a news segment that shows all is not lost in the country and that there are still people who hold other people accountable for their actions. In this case it was a judge in Florida. A young lady appeared before him, I believe on drunken driving charges. She got a suspended sentence but a $5,000 fine.
She was quite the little smart mouth and made some flippant remark to the judge who then promptly doubled the fine. That really got her attention and on the way out she gestured to the judge with one of her fingers (you know the one). To that little act he called her back and put her in jail for 30 days. You should have seen the reaction on her face – it was priceless.
Hooray for the judge. He held someone accountable for their actions and they suffered the consequences for bad behavior. We need a whole lot more of that kind of accountability in this country. And, I'm not talking about just our judicial system. It seems like people in every setting just don't want to hold anyone accountable for their actions.
In today's "make everybody feel good" society in which we live, it's always someone else's fault for our bad behavior. You've heard the excuses – it's the parent's fault, or the school's, or society's in general. I've talked to a lot of people about this very subject and just about everyone agrees that we have gotten to the point where you just can't seem to find anyone who accepts blame for when they screw up.
I remember as a young kid, if I got in trouble at school that was the least of my worries. My real concern was coming home and having to tell my parents what had happened. And, I have heard that same thing from several people when we get into discussions about the "olden days." We all knew that we would be in more trouble at home than we were at school.
Nowadays that just doesn't seem to be the case. A kid gets in trouble and it's not their fault or people say we shouldn't punish them because it might hurt their psychological well-being. Have you wondered why we have so many more instances of violent behavior now than we did 20 or 30 years ago? Do you think that it might have something to do with people not accepting accountability for their own actions? Surely not.
I know that I am making some blanket statements that don't apply to everyone but there are enough people who blame everyone but themselves that it is affecting all of us. And, it is affecting the way people view the world. Many think that they can do anything they want and they just won't suffer any real consequences. And, quite frankly, we have gotten to the point where they are right.
So, what can we do to fix this? Well, the first thing we can do is to accept responsibility for our own actions. The next time something happens and you start to make an excuse for it; stop and think "what caused the problem and who is really to blame." And, once we do that to ourselves, then we have to demand that others do the same – don't accept excuses, expect accountability.
It seems like I'm preaching on this and I guess I am but I'm also preaching to myself. I know that there have been times where I've been guilty of trying to shift the blame. That's human nature to try to get out of trouble.
The difference is that we used to hold each other accountable and now we accept excuses. Until we get back to a place where we, as a society, demand accountability then we are just going to continue to do what human nature dictates and do our best to blame someone else.
