I need to finish this later, but the first 15 minutes is pretty informative. Here at the old IMFO Ranch we’re in discussions on frameworks, so it was a nice surprise to be able to get a small list of whats available in a humorous package.
Running time is 1 hour. If you do internet websites or websites on the internet, you’ll enjoy it. If you do web internets on site, you probably won’t.

I guess this is from an Australian Domino’s commercial.

Going to let the ‘money quote’ intro the article.
The real answer to online piracy problems will be a market answer; if content creators want to succeed online, they need to focus even more on “seducing” consumers than on pistol-whipping them.

Restaurateur awaits refinancing, expects downtown to be revitalized
Last week, a stain 5feet high on the wall of Blend, a restaurant in downtown Cedar Rapids, marked the height of recent floodwaters.
Mud was everywhere, and tables and chairs were “every which way,” said Mark Young, one of three owners.
Today, the place is gutted — clean and decontaminated. “Just about everything came out,” Young said. “A whole lot of work got done in a few days.”
The credit goes to co-owners Andy Deutmeyer and Vic Kuper, the restaurant’s chefs, and their friends and family, said Young, a physician.
Now, the restaurateurs are awaiting refinancing before they hire contractors.
Young hopes a Small Business Administration loan will help the owners get the operation going again.“If the financing came through relatively quickly, we could be open in two to three months,” Young said. “But that’s a big if.”
The owners never considered closing permanently, Young said. “We were all of one mind about what we would do,” he said.
He believes a revitalized downtown will emerge from the flood devastation. “We have a great opportunity,” Young said. “With the right amount of money and effort, we can build a better downtown.”
Blend’s section begins at :45 and ends at 1:50.
Went to HS with Mr. Kuper. Expect another post advertising their reopening.
