"And for those who know you who might not have known this already - it explains so much! When we saw the President's Own Marine Band in Seattle earlier in the month, we all stood proudly as family of a Marine when they got through the songs for all the other branches and started in on the Marines' Hymn. Thank you for your service and for passing on such a rich legacy!"

Telluride Inside... and Out : Nuggets from the Nugget: "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and "Law Abiding Citizen - http://www.tellurideinside.com/2009...
"I love when a kids' movie can be readily enjoyed by adults even without a younger person in tow. Maybe it's just because my own background as a TV weather person, but I loved this movie. It certainly was far deeper than I'd have thought from the trailers and the descriptions. A free screening of Lives of Others? If you enjoy art films, you'd be crazy not to go. The tall guy and I really liked this one a lot."

"It entirely depends on what you mean by "own internet" Can you get computers to talk to one another without using the big telecoms? Absolutely. But to get very many computers to talk to one another, you're probably reproducing some aspect of what they've already created. And if you want access to all the rich content we've come to equate with The Internet, then eventually the bits and bytes will be traveling on at least some part of the big boys' network."

"What a powerful concept - shift money from the end goal that it has become to be the tool by which we support, grow, and measure much more directly meaningful value. Thank you, Kris for enlightening us on this matter and thank you TIO for bringing us this information!"

"These are special bags that are something like 3 feet high, holding 3500 lb of sand, hence the higher cost. No one is trying to shaft anyone here."

"Apparently life does imitate art sometimes. Reminds me of the old O. Henry story, The Cop and the Anthem. Just proves these issues aren't new, in any case."

"I found Dr. Nielsen's story to be incredibly moving and inspirational. It is amazing that she faced such incredible challenge in her life with such courage and fortitude and I feel so very fortunate that she shared so much of herself with the rest of us that we might learn from such a wonderful example of how to truly live. Thank you, Jerri, for allowing us to bear witness to your life."

"State of Play will have you thinking about plot developments as well as current and historical parallels long after the final credits roll. Monsters vs. Aliens is just plain fun for the whole family of the kind that can hold up to repetition when the young ones love it as they're sure to do."

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Seattle school closes; 6 probable cases of swine flu in state | KOMO News - Seattle, Washington | Lo - http://www.komonews.com/news...
"Actually, it was acute viral pneumonia brought on by the influenza that killed people during the 1918 pandemic, against which antibiotics are of minimal help. I believe we have to be careful here - it is nonsense to get paranoid and freak out, but the sane response is not the just-as-damaging tendency to put our heads in the sand and claim all is fine when we don't yet know that. The reason health officials are way out in front to the point of seeming like they're crying wolf is because to not do so is to risk getting so far behind as to not be able to contain the problem. In 1918, one of the issues was the first wave was so mild as to pass mostly unnoticed. It was the second wave that proved to be so lethal. In Baltimore, they waited too long to close the schools and so that effort did no good. Excellent information on real numbers and social impact of the 1918 influenza at www.pandemicflu.gov/general/workshop.pdf Taking precautions now and taking it seriously without panicking is..."

"I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here... * That a mature professional attitude is for wusses? * That the only discipline that works warrants felonious assault charges? * That without laws against felonious assaults, otherwise law-abiding citizens would be out there assaulting kids and each other like crazy? * That beating children and young adults is the best way to earn their respect (or that fear of a beating accomplishes about the same thing)? * That to "keep the peace", means it's okay to disturb it so long as you have a badge and that we should give police officers license to harm whenever they feel like it, as opposed to training them to rise above the violence and other forms of lawlessness they see every day? At the very least, I believe there are logical inconsistencies here, to say nothing of the sort of society it describes. Thank you, I'll pass."
