Because I feel like being silly...
The
other 5s meme:
5 things in my fridge:
-Trader Joe's Milk. It keeps up to 2 months past its expiration date. No, we don't drink a lot of milk, why do you ask?
-Costco tamales. Mexican food is ALWAYS on the menu here. Tamales are my favorite.
-Kraft Italian 4 cheese lo-fat shredded cheese blend. It's not that much more expensive, and I don't have to shred it. And what's better than Asiago, Parmesan, Romano, and Mozzarella mixed together?
-Leftovers. When you cook for two or you eat smart when you eat out, there's always a container of something or other in the fridge.
-cold French Fries. Also known as "FF's" in our house since
someone knows what "French Fries" means. Yes, they are for her.
5 items in my closet:
-My academic regalia. It came yesterday and I am sooooo excited. I get to dress up like a real professor for the first time on Saturday at graduation!
-My computer bag. It was a graduation present and it has wheels and a handle so I don't have to carry it. A very thoughtful gift.
-Favors from my friend's wedding last summer. They came out of my purse and got put on the shelf, and there they have been sitting.
-My friend A's birthday and Christmas presents. Her birthday was in January. I am SUCH a good friend.
-My bathroom. You have to walk through the closet to get to the master bath.
5 items in my car:
-my cell phone charger. The damn thing dies at the drop of a hat anymore, so I keep it "hooked up" in the car.
-water bottles. We drove to Fresno last weekend and I haven't cleaned out all of the debris
-dog leash. You'd be surprised how often I realized we had left the house without the leash until I started leaving one in the car...
-Mini hockey player. There's a Carolina Hurricanes mini doll keychain hanging from my rearview mirror.
-Shoes. There's at least one pair of my shoes in the back. I like to keep comfy shoes around in case my feet reject the heels. I think my Dansko clogs are in there...
5 items in my purse:
-my iPod. The headphones live there too. Gotta have it at work.
-my digital camera. You never know when you're gonna want it.
-my card case. DH gave me a lovely gold filigree card case to carry my business cards in for Christmas, and you'd be surprised how often I hand them out.
-lip gloss. Tutti Dolci by Bath and Body Works, Apple Tart or Cinnamon Frosting
-My pain pills. S'posed to take them with food and I eat in the office.
5 people to tag:
Randomly choosing....

Anyone else notice?
Thousands of Americans send get-well cards to a
horse but ignore our fighting men and women who are wounded in their service?
Grr... Maybe if our soldiers were wounded on TV....

I'm constantly amazed and dismayed at people who have more love for non-humans than humans. On the real, I don't give a damn about
that horse. So what! You wanna see a race, watch NASCAR or track and field. And your right caltechgirl, where's the love for the wounded soldiers and support staff, huh? They can actually READ the cards you send them!

Seriously though, this is a horribly serious security breach, and everyone who might be affected should take steps now to ensure they're protected against identity theft.

Pehaps he was just trying to get more work done to help the Veterans(including me) and provide better service to us. The fact that he made an error of judgement in doing this does not make him an IDIOT.

I don't know about the validity of this
source, but it claims this is a hoax.
Which makes sense in paranoid, anti W sense. What great way to help justify a fight against Iran, than to help spread disinformation.
I'm no apologist for Iran, but the guys there aren't stupid. Crazy, wacko, and perhaps evil, but stupid? For the most part no.
Of course, they could always not give a damn, and go for anything anyway.

Just an incubator?
New Federal
guidlines ask health care professionals to treat all women capable of conceiving a baby as "pre-pregnant" from menarche through menopause.
"Among other things, this means all women between first menstrual period and menopause should take folic acid supplements, refrain from smoking, maintain a healthy weight and keep chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes under control."
All women, huh?
I have soooo many problems with this one:
First: We should encourage EVERYONE to be as healthy as possible. Men and women alike. FOR THEIR OWN WELL BEING.
Second: I find this utterly demeaning.
As if the SOLE purpose of my body is to carry around my uterus and anything that ends up growing inside it.
Third, and related: So, basically you're saying that if I choose not to have children or I can't have children, I should be preparing my body to have kids anyway? That's insulting on so many levels I don't have room here to go into it. I can just see some poor soul fighting infertility, finally resigning herself to being unable to bear children, and then being told by some twit doctor that she should take prenatal vites and avoid smoking for the sake of her potential children.....

Good grief.
Though I guess on the positive side this would mean no woman should ever clean out a cat box, right? Just in case.
I would think that if we really wanted to do something about the low birth survival rates in the US (the stated reason for the guidelines) we might want to look at the statistical groupings with poor infant survival rates and do something to target them for increased health awareness and prenatal care.

when the government says "should" it is just a step from saying "you will" which means you will have no choice in the matter. Anytime anyone doesn't think so just remember seatbelt laws and helits for kids riding bicyle laws and smoking bans. Be very aware any time the 'guvmit' decides to force you to do something for your own personal protection because I will guarantee you that the primary ageda has nothing to do with you personal protection and has a money goal behind it somewhere.

I just heard Dr. Jim Keating on Handel this morning and he was talking about this. He had a different perspective. The main thing he brought up was this creates a billing number (any one who has ever worked for a consultant knows that billable work is prefeered because you make money on it) so that doctors are encouraged to take the time to help women understand what they need to do to have a healthy baby. Because the fed will pay them back for the time they are more likely to spend more time going over these issues. If they aren't getting paid they will only get a minute or two.
Just an interesting perspective to consider.

Why I will not be seeing United 93
I don't need a movie to remind me how I felt on 9/11.
I don't need to see it on a screen to feel the pain and the horror of that morning again.
I don't need actor portrayals to remember the bravery of the men and women who scrificed themselves to crash a plane into a field in Pennsylvania, rather than allow it to be crashed into the Capitol Dome or the White House.
I don't need their sacrifice shoved in my face for the bargain price of $8.50.
It's in my heart. And I will never forget.

Just wait another 30 or 50 years. The then current version of (pick your favorite director) will make his rewrite, to make the movie more acceptable to the future standards, and detracting away from any historical feel or tone we may subscribe to today.
Look at how we do war movies (WW2 or Vietnam) vs movies made 40 and 20 years ago. it's a cycle based on society's mood.
But I won't be seeing the movie either. If it's on TV, I might. But it's not what I'm interested in watching these days.

We saw it today. It was very well done. And though I didn't feel I needed a "reminder" at all, I'm glad I went.

I share your sentiments, but I am curious about the movie. Not so much as a reminder, but to somehow, connect more deeply.
I haven't decided, to be honest. I am still very torn on this whole issue.

I saw it. I didn't find it particularly depressing. Since several of the real-life air traffic and military people played themselves, it's not completely an actor-portrayal.
Clearly, the intent was to drop you in like a fly on the wall so that you could see how it unfolded pretty much in real time. It was not propagandistic. There was no real attempt to shape the audience's view.
I think it's worth seeing once.

I'm tempted to go just because I want to support people who make movies like this. On the other hand, I'm pregnant and the last thing I need is something else to give me nightmares. It was bad enough when I was pregnant with my son, freaking out about smallpox and anthrax.

Hey CTG and others. I had similar feelings of not wanting to see "U:93", but went to a matinee showing a couple days ago. It's FANTASTIC. It really is. Yeah, it's hard to watch, but a large part of the film takes place away from the actual flight, i.e. control towers, military defense towers, etc of whom all the characters are trying to figure out what is going on.
I realize some think it is too soon, but once you see it, the film will be appreciated for the story it tells.

Amen! To me, movies are entertainment - a diversion. I don't want 9/11 to be cheapened in such a way. Not yet. Too fresh. Too soon.

Before we started using Outlook for our mail at work:
Total SPAM received in my Inbox= 0 since October 15, 2005.
After we started using Outlook for our mail at work:
Total SPAM received in my Inbox= 3 in 24 hours.
Yeah, SOOOOOO much safer for us, Mr. IT Shit for Brains.

I fully agree with you. I don't know why IT'ers like Outlook, other than for the job security. Same same happened at a place I used to work only it was whatever email came with the Netscape Browser. Had virtually z e r o SPAM with Netscape. Switchover to Outlook...and ya needed a shovel to deal with the overload.

I use Outlook. I actually like it, but then again, I have had no exposure to anything else. Not even at work.
This is what you do-
Create a rule that makes the incoming emails have to be sent twice. This will eliminate ALL $pam coming in to your inbox, since most $pammers have no way to counteract because it's the nature of $pam to be sent only once from any particular email addy.
Good luck!

What does Outlook have to do with getting spam or not? Presumably if you were getting none before, there was spam filtering in place that is now gone, so it's a question of addressing the spam filtering.
Are there really people out there who get as few as three a day? That's so cool. If I were taking no efforts to filter mine, between all addresses I would be receiving at least a couple hundred a day.

With Outlook do you still have remote access to your emails? With a web-based system, you can check your email anywhere, but isn't Outlook a program on your computer? Seems really inconvenient...

IT departments like outlook because it intigrates perfectly with all the other Microsoft software they use. Its designed to go with Office on the desktop and a Microsoft Exchange mailserver. No compatability worries, seemless intigration. Providing, of course, you only use Microsoft software.
Also, there is a modern variation on a older expression: "Noone is ever fired for buying Microsoft."
The fact that Outlook is actually a quite poor piece of software isn't really relivent.

I can relate, as I put in my own home-grown anti-spam system before being assimlited by M$. We use Outlook due to integration reasons - Palm device has to integrate with Billing/Timekeeping which has to integrate with Email. I know when you first are forced to Outlook it really really stinks. I didn't want to buy Exchange and Outlook, but the industry I work in doesn't allow freedom in the software arena.

We used to use Pegasus... spam = very little cost = free
Now we use Groupwise (Cos we use Novell too)... took way too long to learn but... spam = virtually non existent cost = more than Pegasus :-)
Outlook... wassat? We have it installed but no one uses it cos it sucks...
Now if we can just convince TM to drop MSoft and go Linux Apps all the way...
Ah well we can dream can't we?

What actually happened to the Star 98.7 DJs --Now UPDATED
The official
party line is that the Star 98.7 DJs are all on "hiatus" and will be back...
Yeah, after Clear Channel figures out whether or not it can get enough ratings to substantiate firing all of them.
So here's the story for those of you out of the area, or unfamiliar:
Star 98.7 is an "adult contemporary alternative" station here in LA. It has been one of the most popular stations in the area for the last decade or so. It is also the launching pad of one Ryan Seacrest, who along with
Lisa Foxx was the host of a morning show -type show during the afternoon drive slot. Due to various corporate acquisitions etc. the station now belongs to that behemoth of broadcasting, Clear Channel (aka corporate muzak).
Seems CC decided that Star was the perfect station to test out its new DJ-less format (think Jack/Alice stations, but more annoying) in a big market. So, as of April 6 or 7, they took all the DJs off the air with NO warning, and refused to discuss the changes with anyone. Announcements were made in
trade media, but not to mainstream press or on the station's website. That website was literally revamped overnight, with all references to the DJs or station programming removed. But you can download songs for 99 cents now.
It took me over an hour of googling to find any answers, mostly buried in the comments of
this THREE YEAR OLD post. Good thing dude didn't turn off the comments....
Most of the comments are regarding the morning show trio, Jamie, Jack, and Stench. Now, I HATE them. Will not listen to them. In fact, Jamie White makes my skin crawl, but they have been done dirt by CC and the station. I'd vote to bring them back just because I hate what Star and CC have done.
I hope the advertisers start leaving in DROVES.

Good thing dude didn't turn off the comments....
Believe me, I've been tempted! ;-) That was already the most-commented post on the site, but watching the comments more than double over the course of the last three weeks has been a bit unnerving. I went on vacation for a few days last week and seriously expected to see another 40 comments when I got back.
In general, though, I'm one of those weirdos who prefers to keep comments open on old posts, even though it makes it harder to filter out the spam. You never know what random piece of information might drop in, or what new conversation might launch. (Though really off-topic stuff does bug me.)
At least it's turned out to be informative to people, and the initial deluge has slowed down to something a bit more manageable.

I wouldn't really consider STAR to be Seacrest's launching pad. It was American Idol, he was on the verge of being fired from STAR until American Idol was a hit and clear channel looked to get ratings due to American Idol's sucess. Of course there is the humorous story of Seacrest's dad trying to get on of the big named talent guys to work with Ryan and was refused because Ryan had no talent.
The way the change was handled isn't all that uncommon. If you want to know whats happeneing in radio you don't go to the LA Time or NBC Nightly News (just think of all the format changes 97.1, KNAC, Y-107, etc) that were never mentioned. You have to get trade mags to know about it, ie R&R.
I also wouldn't call STAR one of LA's most popular it comes in at 23rd out of 44 stations with a 1.6 rating. (Thats 1.6% of avalible listeners, not population) By Comparison KIIS comes in 1st with a 4.9, KFI is a 4.0. On top of that thir market share has been in constant decline over the past few years, at about 20% in the last year alone. Mean while since the switch from The Arrow to Jack-FM, KCBS-FM has seen its ratings double (1.7 to 3.4).
Don't forget Clear Channel and their massive amount of billboard ownage.

I'm so out of it, I didn't even know Danny Bonaduce had left the morning show...but every time I hear so much as a peep out of that Jamie woman, I am overcome with the urge to KILL.
I'm all for getting rid of DJs, but that Jack FM station has compensated by having some announcer make these stupid remarks that somebody obviously thought were clever, coupled with broadcasting the voice mail messages of stoned listeners babbling dopey nonsense. It's not much of an improvement.

You can't imagine how surprised and upset I was to get in my car one morning on my way to work and not hear Jamie, Jack and Stench. They have kept me company for years, crack me up and make the morning commute bearable.
I hate it when things change without warning.
Now I have to find a new station. Believe me
I wasn't listening to 98.7 for the music,
thanks alot.....

I'd just like to point out
**RANT ALERT**
Excessive use of the "F-word" below.
So for months now we've been on countdown here at work because they were going to change over the email program to a new server.
D-Day was today, May 1, protests be damned, full speed ahead.
There were meetings and gnashing of teeth and all kids of emails about this for months. MONTHS.
Let me sum up: New server, Switched email access to Outlook and Outlook Web Access for "security reasons."
As FUCKING IF. Anybody out there got a virus that DIDN'T come in via Outlook and IE?
So know we must use IE as somehow this piece of shit knows the difference between IE and IE open in a Firefox tab. And, although it will open in FF, you lose all of your functionality EXCEPT reading and sending mail.
Fucking Bill Gates. But on to my point.
One of the biggest bones of contention across campus has been that people like to forward their mail to a personal account (in my case gmail) and then reply/send from that account.
What we had been told EXPLICITLY is this: You may forward messges to a personal account (in fact we were given reasonably simple instructions on how to do this), however this software DOES NOT allow aliasing messages from your personal account to look as though they were sent from your work account (via bouncing or POP forwarding).
Yeah. Right.
Guess what? I can fucking send ALL the messages I want from my gmail that look like they come from my work address. HOWEVER, I can not RECEIVE a single piece of mail at my gmail from my work address.
Yep. Exactly the opposite. The not-at-all-practicable opposite.
Two fucking hours on the phone with the IT tech, who is also stumped, since I had already followed the instructions in his book to the letter. TO THE LETTER. He even did a VPN and had me show him what I did, agreeing that I had done it correctly.
I fucking quit.

Running Mozilla Thunderbird under Linux here. Virus? What's that?
Then again, my computer, my Mandriva Linux boxed PowerPack set, my POP mail account, my DSL line. All paid for out of my own pocket. I and I alone know the root password on my system.
I can only imagine the headaches that come with having other forces embroiled in decisions on how my computer, and my email, shall be run. You have my sympathy...

As a system administrator, I can speculate as to WHY they've chosen to go this route, but...
It's very likely that they've gone to Outlook and Exchange because it has a centralized message store, which makes it easier to backup and archive peoples' e-mail messages. Truth be told, they could have accomplished the same thing with postfix and IMAP and kept client neutrality, since everything from Pegasus Mail to Eudora to Macintosh Mail to Outlook supports IMAP and LDAP, so the decision to go that route seems a little odd to me.
The other advantage that Outlook/Exchange has over, say Thunderbird or Mac Mail is the other groupware functions, like shared calendars and contact list. Yes, these can be implemented using WEBDAV/iCal and LDAP, but the level of integration is not as good, or as flexible.
BUT...the big downside is exactly what you've encountered. Exchange doesn't play well with others. So maybe that's fine in a corporate environment, where the company's paying for the machines and software anyway (and worse, is run by DELL DRONES like my employer - we actually have a former Dell employee working for us, which is saying something for a 10-person company in Rome, NY) but it's really silly in a place where it's "run what you brung"...

I'm really tired of these people. About 30 of them marched thru USC's campus today -- were they lost? -- wearing Che! t-shirts and holding incoherent signs about their rights as illegals being infringed.

No, those were just the communist and anarchists, being confused that May Day was co-opted by the immigration community.
My personal guess is that the rally idea for today was started by the communist/anarchist people, and then they were shunted to the rear.
However, to every business closed today, that I tried to get into and failed, they will not be seeing any of my money for a good long while.
