Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Smonster, (and anyone else in her general line of work), do you know anything about the Global Reporting Initiative [link] ? How is it perceived among people who work in your field?
Sorry, was checking out the website. I am not familiar with them - it seems to be corporation reporting and I'm at a University, plus we have a separate Sustainability Office that does our reports. Their list of reporting companies seems extensive and impressive, from a quick skim. Wish I knew more.
Woot! Thanks for all the book recs, people! This should sustain me for her birthday and Christmas.
Does anyone have any recommendations of books she might like?
She might like the Amelia Peabody books. Not supernatural, but has that exotic flavor. The first is here [link]
what's a more sophisticated way to say "field trip"? I'm talking about taking my students places, but don't want them to sound like elementary school kids. I thought about "excursion", but thought that sounded a little pretentious.
My girl (10) is into the Artemis Fowl books and the Fablehaven books. She's also into almost anything historical, but that doesn't sound like the ticket here.
I like "excursion."
Or Pooh Bear's "expotition."

off-site visit? off-campus trip?

Thanks! I got the same impression, but I also couldn't tell if it was a secret club of polluters who want to pretend they aren't polluters.
I like "excursion" too. If that word doesn't quite work, you can look up the names of SUVs until you find one that sounds right.
"Our endeavor will be to escape on an excursion of exploration." would cover the Ford line-up.
To continue my nonsensical tangent, Ford should totally make an SUV named "Field-Trip". Sure, the Ford Field-Trip is just a minivan with some tough looking fenders, but it does have 24 cup-holders that can fit juice boxes.

Canyonero!
