Anyone know interesting things about him?
Real life stuff? Anything about his ideas?
I have a basic knowledge of some of it ... id, ego, superego, oral fixation, stages of life/development ... but I always wanted to learn more.
Maybe someone knows a good book to start with?

My fantasy basketball team is consistently steamrolling any and all teams that attempt to play.
There is no stopping "!" for they are undermatched and never challenged, and it is nearly impossible that I could ever lose.
Even when I go on vacation for two weeks, I have no doubt I will walk away with two wins.
Never before have I seen such domination over so many people. Half of you are already mathematically eliminated from the league title.
Hang ye heads in shame.

So, a “compromise” has been reached and it’s reported that the bill will be voted on and passed. As of April of next year, smoking will no longer be allowed in bars or restaurants in NYC, or basically anywhere that has employees. Apparently the “process of public input” is still open but the impression given is that the ban will go through.
This is from a press release from the mayor’s office:
Quote:The bill, Intro. 256-A, would prohibit smoking in all public places and places of employment in New York
City, with the following exemptions:
Sidewalk cafés, backyard gardens, and rooftop gardens of restaurants and bars may permit smoking in
no more than 25% of the square footage of the area.
ok, so at most places if they’re lucky to have a handful of tables outside, they’ll be able to have a teensy smoking section that will get over crowded and create a nice big cloud for everyone to walk through on their way in and out of the establishment.
Quote:Small, owner operated bars, where there are no employees and all duties are performed by the principal owners of the establishment, may permit smoking.
well, here’s a possible loophole, all employees could be made partial owners, but of course that could make things very complicated.
Quote:All residential healthcare facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living residences, and day
treatment programs for substance abuse may offer a room where smoking is permitted.
that’s all well and good. But these aren’t places that rely on people coming in to relax and have a cigarette for their business.
Quote:Private clubs that are member operated and have no employees, such as some Veterans of Foreign
Wars clubs, may permit smoking.
when they first brought up the idea of banning smoking, I thought this might be a way around it. You could make the place a “private club” by just charging, for example, a membership fee for a buck, and only allowing members and their “guests” but I guess it doesn’t work. Back to that old employee technicality.
Quote:Only existing cigar bars may continue to permit smoking.
woo hoo. I guess that’s the “compromise” they were talking about. Originally they were going to ban smoking in the cigar bars too. I don’t think I need to expand on that to point out its ridiculousness. But it says existing, I guess there won’t be any new ones opening any time soon.
Quote:Bars may construct a separate, negatively-pressurized “smoking room.” No employees will be
permitted to serve food or beverages in the room or enter the room to clean until after the room is
vacated. This provision will sunset after 36 months of the bill’s enactment in order to allow the
Administration and the Council to evaluate its effect on the quality of life in the City.
yes, a room where no employees are allowed to enter. That sounds like a plan. And do they really expect all these small business owners, who are already struggling with the economy being in the shitter, to construct specialty rooms just so in 3 years they can take them down again when the government decides to interfere some more.
So, that pretty much sums it up. There’s more info here
What do you think? Does anyone feel it’s a good idea, because I’d love to hear your point of view. The way i see it, bar and restaurant employees will have to police people and you know how much smokers like to have a cigarette with their beer. As one of the employees that bloomberg is claiming to want to protect, i feel i'd rather deal with the second hand smoke than deal with a beligerent drunk who insists on lighting up.
What about those of you who live outside of the city. Will this affect your going out plans? If there’s no smoking in the city will you still come in to hang out? Or will you go somewhere local that hasn’t been violated.

I've decided that if I can get the money together, hopefully after my b-day in January, I will buy myself a new acoustic guitar. Don't know which kind exactly, but I've been in and out of stores browsing lately. I don't play well, but I've fucked around for years with simple tablatures and chords and I would really like to commit to learning how to play. The guitar I have now is ancient and it sounds horrible. Not an appropriate instrument to learn on. If I had something decent, it'd be a Hell of a lot easier to learn.
Anyone have even the slightest bit of musical talent and what do you play?
