Trent Reznor honoured with governmental recognition
it´s too long to explain, so i´ll just stick what it says :P
Some of you saw the story of Trent being honored by the federal, state and local government that was posted on the nin hotline last night and asked me to share it with the Forum, so here goes:
Hotline story of Trent being honored with governmental recognition http://www.theninhotline.net/news/#1245648614
Here's the video of Trent receiving proclamations from the United States House of Representatives, the United States Senate, the Governor of New York, the New York State Comptroller, the New York State Senate and the Suffolk County Legislature in recognition of his efforts to help Eric De La Cruz:

All of those proclamations mention the entire NIN community. You can check out copies of them at:
Pictures of proclamations http://www.twitpic.com/photos/mpc2020
This was an incredible moment for me personally, and I hope it was for Trent as well.
As we continue to keep Eric in our thoughts and prayers, I think the community deserves to take a minute to pat itself on the back for an amazing accomplishment and a really great moment in the evolution of NIN and everyone who follows the band.
On a personal note, as the hotline article says, I have two parents with cancer and have seen just how flawed and awful the US healthcare system can be. Many of you are aware that Congress has started to draft legislation for healthcare reform. I've been working with Veronica and the people around her to help strategize on how to best get the community involved on this issue. I think we've shown our grassroots power in the past few months, and I encourage all of you to contact your Senators and Representatives and let them know how you feel about the issue. One place you can learn more about the issue is:

Congratulations once again to the entire community for doing something incredible-let's keep it going!

Hi there! here it is the lyrics we talked about while we were reading the play "A Taste of Honey", when Jo starts to sing that song but with another ending :P.
There is a song by Nirvana which is called "Where did you sleep last night" that says the same thing " In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through" but it talks about another matter that doesn't have anything to do with Dolly's Parton version and the one that appears on the play.
In the pines by Dolly Parton.
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows
My love, my love, what have I done
To make you treat me so
You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn
You've caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows
The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia Line
The engine passed at six o'clock
The caboose went by at nine
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows
I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

Invoice or Bill?
Hi all!
In response to Candi's request last week as to the difference between bill and invoice, here is a briefing of what I've found:
An invoice is a bill. It is a list of goods or services provided, itemised and individually priced. There is a total amount due at the bottom. The prices shown are gross, and there may be deductions or additions at the bottom for discounts and or taxes. It is a request for payment.
These two words are generally used interchangeably.
These are the translations:
invoice: [ˈɪnvɔɪs]
1. (comercio) factura (f)
to make out an invoice -> extender or hacer una factura
verbo transitivo
3. facturar (goods); mandar la factura a (person, company)
bill [bɪl] 1. cuenta (f) (in restaurant); factura (f) (for goods, services)
bill of exchange (finanzas) -> letra (f) de cambio
2. billete (m) (banknote) (Estados Unidos)
verbo transitivo
3. pasar (la) factura a (give invoice to)
So then, they are the same when talking about business dealings, but bill is also used in reference to services (gas, water supply, electricity, etc)
Hope this has helped,
Marga

Some NIN`s interesting lyrics
well, as i don`t have any other thing to post i put some Nine Inch Nails` lyrics i consider very interesting i like what they express, the thoughts, the emotions of these lyrics are really good:
I`ve posted the links of the lyrics of the songs because ifnot the post would be enormous :P
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/happinessinslavery.html
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/heresy.html
The next song has got one of the greatest lyrics, it`s a bit "Uptoned", but in my opinion it`s a great parody to the typical idiot american:
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/bigmanwithagun.html
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/thedownwardspiral.html
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/hurt.html
another great lyric
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/eraser.html
and the last song, it`s from the record "Year Zero", the main theme of the CD talks about how life will be in the next years, and how f*** up the world will be if we go on acting this way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr8FXnur5Z4 here it`s and interview with Trent Reznor about the CD), this lyric, for what i understand talks about a strange force that comes to erase the world because of humans` atitude, it`s an anthem xD

"A taste of Honey"
As regards to the play that we are reading " A taste of honey" i found several videos on youtube, here it is the link of one of the videos i found suitable to show since the others have scenes which have unknown content (because we haven't reached that part and i really got upset when i saw them ¬¬)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7K_N0UXpLo
In this short video it appears Jo at her school. She talks to some of her classmates and then she go to her house. I hope you like it. ^^
When Shelagh Delaney began working on A Taste of Honey, she intended the material to be a novel; but instead, in what has become a very famous story, Delaney became disgusted at the lack of substance found in plays currently being produced for the stage and decided to rework her fledgling novel into a play. It took her two weeks. A Taste of Honey opened at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East in London on May 27, 1958. On February 10, 1959, Delaney's play moved to Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, and on October 4, 1960, the play opened on Broadway at New York City's Lyceum Theatre. Delaney's play opened to mixed reviews.
In many cases, her characters were praised for their honest, realistic voices. The play was also singled out for its accurate depictions of working class lives. Yet there was also concern that too much praise for the play's nineteen-year-old author would make it difficult for her to ever create another hit play, the theory being that early success might prove so intimidating that she could never live up to her first accomplishment. In a sense, this is what happened, since Delaney never wrote another play that achieved the success of A Taste of Honey. However, this first play did earn several awards, including the Charles Henry Foyle New Play award in 1958 and the New York Drama Critics Award in 1961. The film version won the British Academy Award for best picture in 1961 and a best supporting actress award for Dora Bryan. The film also won two additional awards at the Cannes Film Festival in 1962 for best actor (Murray Melvin) and best actress (Rita Tushingham). Much of the credit for the play's success is attributed to Joan Littlewood, whose experimental Theatre Workshop first received and produced the play.
