By special request: Susan Lucci finally wins
the Emmy after 19 nominations. Her
acceptance speech is quite long and credit
goes to the awards people for not cutting her
off. Tags :1999daytimeemmysusanlucciallmychildren
After quitting her day job in Los Angeles and
moving to Martha's Vineyard, a quiet island
off the Massachusetts coast, Susan Gibbs aka
MVKnits had a great idea. She started
Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm and figured out
how to make a living making yarn. Why not use
the local food movement's model of Community
Supported Agriculture (CSA) and apply it to a
yarn harvest? Shareholders pay for a share in
the yarn harvest as a way to support a local
farm (or in this case, a local farm supported
through the internet) and in return they get
weekly updates, photos from the farm, an
invitation to the shearing and ultimately a
share of the yarn.

This is a selected script from The Hunger
which was a 1983 production. A stylish
combination of hunder, vampire, love and
lust. Tags :HungerCatherineDeneuveDavidBowie
http://www.ted.com Susan Blackmore studies
memes: ideas that replicate themselves from
brain to brain like a virus. She makes a bold
new argument: Humanity has spawned a new kind
of meme, the teme, which spreads itself via
technology -- and invents ways to keep itself
alive Tags :SusanBlackmoretedtedtalksbrainculturedesignmemestechnologyevolution
