Community invited for Sept. 11 ride and picnic
BAUMHOLDER, Germany -- Wounded warriors from Baumholder, Kaiserslautern and other military communities are mounting up on hand crank bikes, recumbent bikes and regular road bikes for a three-day ride in the nearby state of the Saarland and in the Rheinland Pfalz Sept. 9 through 11.
On the first day of the ride the warriors will warm up on the four mile track around Bostalsee, which is near Baumholder. They will ride three times around the lake, covering a little more than 12 miles.
"The second day we're going to do an 18 mile track and warm them up a little bit more and get them ready for the next day," said Daniel Schnock, director of Soldier Ride, Wounded Warrior Project. "We're actually going to take them from point A, straight down a railroad track toward Trier and finish down toward Trier. The warriors will then have lunch on a cruise ship and spend some time walking through the city of Trier."
On the third day, Sept. 11, Soldier Ride participants will return to the Bostalsee for a ride around the lake and they are inviting the community to participate. Start time at Bostalsee for the Community Soldier Ride is 9 a.m. All community members are welcome " whether to cheer from the sidelines or cycle the Soldier Ride route.
"You can do the four mile loop (once around the lake) or the 12 mile loop on that day. It's totally up to you, your skills and what you want to do," Schnock said.
The course is flat and should not be any problem for even the novice cyclist. After the finish of the Community Ride there will be a picnic. For those who are interested to come out and ride, register at www.soldierride.org/germany. There is no fee for registration, this is simply so enough food can be purchased.
"Soldier Ride is an adaptive cycling event for our wounded warriors that gives them a chance to learn what their new normal is," said Schnock. "We get them on bikes, whether a bicycle hand crank, a recumbent bike, or a regular road bike, but we give them a chance after being wounded to say, 'I can get back out there and get on a bike and still do things that I could do in the past even though I might have a new normal or new injury.'"
Although this is the first Soldier Ride WWP has sponsored in Europe, Schnock said the community rides are very popular in the United States and held in 12 cities nationwide throughout the year.
"We do rides in the States where we call it a registered ride," he said. "We find the community comes out and it inspires the warriors and then of course the warriors inspire the community. It's a win-win situation. If you come out Sept. 11, we're going to have a great ol' time at the community picnic."
Reminiscing about previous rides Schnock said, "I've seen kids out there on single speed bikes riding alongside these warriors. I've seen professionals go flying by me. We look forward to seeing the community come out and support these warriors. I promise we'll have a great time."

Fine Dining
I posted something in the forums over the weekend looking for a romantic restaurant in Seattle..and while I got some interesting responses (thanks for the McDonald's tip) the best advice I got came offline, from a friend who recommended Cafe Juanita. It's a bit of a haul to get the place, as it's located in Kirkland (our waiter said the chef, Holly Smith, will hopefully open a restaurant in Seattle next) the food, the service, and the atmosphere all made the drive worth the time. The dimly lit, cozy, wooden-walled dining area overlooks a wooded, private garden on one side and the open kitchen on the other, so you have a view of both the greenery outside and the chefs inside.
The food is all Northern Italian-inspired, and ranges from simple appertifs (we had glasses of champagne and small hunks of parmasean cheese to start) and salads (delicious greens and figs) to rich but simply made main courses (my boyfriend had oxtail risotto, I had the fish of the day--I forgot what kind it was, of course), both of which were ample portions and delicious without being too heavy. And it should be noted that all the ingredients are organic. Our waiter was really friendly without being overbearing, recommending great wine, brining over extra treats since he knew we were celebrating a birthday, and overall making it a great dining experience. Sara Dickerman also reviewed the place, and you can check out her praise here, but going through the Stranger archives it looks like the place has been a favorite for years. While Café Juanita is by no means inexpensive, the higher cost of the food is very reasonable and is definitely matched by the quality of the dishes prepared. Highly recommended in the romantic restaurants category.

Save in my calendar keep abandon print
This is a programme full of contrasts: After opening with Haydn's Symphony No. 80, the pianist Krystian Zimerman plays Brahms' First Piano Concerto, one of the most important late-Romantic contributions to the genre. Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan, on the other hand, is the soloist in the German premiere of Unsuk Chin's "Le Silence des Sirènes", a work full of lyrical moments and psychedelic sound effects.
Symphony No. 80 in D minor
Le Silence des Sirènes for soprano and orchestra German Première
Barbara Hannigan Soprano
Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor
Krystian Zimerman Piano
A recording of the concert is available online at our Digital Concert Hall.
When Krystian Zimerman, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker performed Brahms's First Piano Concerto at the Easter Festival 2013 in Baden-Baden, the critics unanimously loved it: rarely did one experience such a cooperation between an interpreter and an orchestra, they wrote. The breathing together, the mutually inspiring dialogue is impressive, they added. "The exceptional Polish pianist is completely at one with himself in his atmospherically dense playing, structurally as clear as glass – and yet the orchestra gives him the royal treatment," the Badische Zeitung wrote. So Krystian Zimerman and the Philharmonic are quite literally an experienced team – not just as concerns this work. After all, the pianist has been one of the Berlin Philharmonic's guest soloists for close to 40 years.
Likewise, a fortunate collaboration has developed between the orchestra and the Canadian singer Barbara Hannigan. Whenever a soprano is needed to perform a contemporary work, she's on the scene. In the last season she beguiled the Philharmonic audience with her crystalline singing at the premiere of Hans Abrahamsen's Let me tell you. In this concert Barbara Hannigan will take part in the performance of Le Silence des Sirènes for soprano and orchestra that South Korean composer Unsuk Chin, who now lives in Berlin, wrote as composer in residence for the Lucerne Festival. The music of Ligeti's student, who has been inspired by French "musique spectrale" and Asian gamelan music, is characterised by a lucid, dazzling splendour of sound.
The concerts open with music that is neither contemporary nor Romantic, but Classical. The Symphony No. 80, which Haydn completed in 1784, has a cheerful, lively character despite its key of D minor, and thus forms a prelude to the subsequent works in the programme that is as contrasting as it is spirited.
Joseph Haydn was as sly as a fox. At a time when there were no copyright regulations yet and the exchange of information was much slower than today, he saw no harm in selling one and the same work to several publishers. He had been in the service of the princes of Esterházy since 1761 and for many years was contractually obligated "to compose nothing for any other person"; in 1779 he signed a new contract in which this restriction was no longer mentioned. By this time Haydn was regarded as one of the leading composers of his day, and international publishers showed keen interest in his works – understandably, he wanted to reap the greatest possible benefit from the situation. Symphonies No. 79 to 81, composed as a trio in 1784, were among the works he offered to different publishers at the same time.
The symphony was a musical terrain on which Haydn could experiment to his heart's content. He attempted and risked a great deal in this genre – which is obvious in the Symphony No. 80. The opening Allegro spiritoso in D minor begins with an agitated, almost threatening gesture. Energetic string tremolos and a persistently advancing bass line create a darkly heroic mood, but there is no recognizable theme. After a time, a theme suddenly appears for four bars in the first violins as a variant of the bass melody, only to immediately disappear again in the propulsive force of the music. Was that the principal theme or a secondary theme already? This question naturally arises, since another "clear" theme appears at the end of the exposition. Leisurely, dancelike, in imitation of a rustic Ländler, it forms the greatest possible contrast to the nervous excitement of what preceded it. One thing becomes increasingly obvious: Haydn likes to tease his listeners. It makes no difference whether he unexpectedly begins the development section in D flat major after a general pause, whether he ends the first movement in major rather than minor or obscures the overall metrical structure in the Finale with syncopations and brief motifs inserted on unaccented beats – he invariably proves to be a master of acoustic confusion. In the two middle movements Haydn varies the dualism of the first movement between rather abstract musical material, with which he develops exciting moods and fascinating progressions, and simple melodies.
Like Haydn, the Korean composer Unsuk Chin, who lives in Berlin, also shows the courage to take risks in her works. "I actually want to discover something new with every work, something that I don't know yet, and that I haven't heard elsewhere." Her monodrama for soprano and orchestra Le Silence des Sirènes (The Silence of the Sirens) – premiered by the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle in August 2014 – was inspired by an archetype of European literature: the mysterious creatures who lure sailors to certain death with their seductive singing. "Their singing kills, but also promises vast knowledge and great pleasure; somehow the sirens, who represent both the horror and the fascination of chthonic nature, are associated with the superhuman or even inhuman facets of music." In the work, Unsuk Chin refers to various layers of reception: Homer's legend of Odysseus, who has himself tied to the mast of his ship in order to pass the island of the Sirens safely, Franz Kafka's story Das Schweigen der Sirenen(The Silence of the Sirens), a variation and reinterpretation of the ancient myth, and finally, the Sirens episode from James Joyce's Ulysses, which, with its onomatopoeic, often contrapuntally treated text, is a kind of word music. The starting point for Unsuk Chin's music is not the textual, but rather the semantic level of these texts. The creative process of composition is sparked by it, giving rise to pitches, timbres and rhythms. Le Silence des Sirènes opens with a minimalist gesture, starting from an interval of a second, which the singer intones while still offstage, then circles around and expands melodically in a solo introduction as she comes onto the stage; a "leitmotiv" is formed, which appears in entirely different characters during a dialogue with the orchestra. In keeping with the disjointedness of Joyce's text, Unsuk Chin works with brief fragments strung together, which combine in a labyrinthine overall structure and display a hypnotic, almost psychedelic attraction. The soloist's song ends in a silent cry, while the orchestra takes over her part and lets the music fade away in pianissimo. The boundary between song and silence is inaudible. Who is singing, who is silent? That must remain a mystery for the moment.
Johannes Brahms's artistic development from a beacon of hope for the future, prophetically announced as the new "messiah" of music, to the leading symphonist of his day was hard, tedious and filled with despair. Along the way he tried various approaches to finding a new, modern and convincing solution for the symphonic genre, based on Ludwig van Beethoven's guidelines. The First Piano Concerto was one of these attempts. A sonata for two pianos from 1854, now lost, was the original form of the work, about which Brahms observed: "Actually, not even two pianos are really enough for me." What was more obvious than the idea of turning the sonata into a symphony? While working on the orchestration, however, he soon reached his limits and set the work aside for the time being. He finally decided on a "compromise": the Piano Concerto in D minor, in which pianistic and symphonic elements are combined.
In the first movement (Maestoso) the orchestra and soloist hurl an abundance of seemingly heterogeneous musical material at the listener. Above an ominous timpani roll, the first violins and cellos enter with the fortissimo principal theme, the beginning of which features a tumultuous melody characterized by large interval leaps and a striking succession of trills. Later, a songlike secondary idea, an other-worldly tune in B flat minor and a characteristic fourth motif reminiscent of a hunting call are heard. The soloist's entrance expands this wealth of material with a second theme: a fervent, chorale-like melody which gives way to the "hunt motif" after a few bars. Here, at the latest, it becomes clear that this outward heterogeneity is held together by a subtle web of motivic relationships. The following Adagio offers a sharp contrast to the opening movement. Its principal theme is a tranquil melody which moves stepwise and evokes a sublime, sacred character. The comparison with a chorale seems obvious, particularly because of the words "Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domine" (Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord), which Brahms wrote at the beginning of the movement between the piano staves in the manuscript. The pianist enters, takes up the material, refashions it, develops it further and enters into an intimate dialogue with the orchestra. In the Rondo finale Brahms – like Haydn in his D minor Symphony – plays a rhythmic game of deliberate confusion, to which the syncopated opening bar of the rondo theme, which is heard as an upbeat rather than a downbeat, and constantly shifting metric accents contribute substantially. Although the playful, virtuosic element is emphasized more strongly in this movement than in the two previous movements, the soloist does not stand out from the orchestra with superficial virtuosity but blends with it symphonically.
Barbara Hannigan was born in Canada and studied at the University of Toronto with Mary Morrison, the Royal Conservatory of The Hague with Meinard Kraak and privately with Neil Semer. She performs with leading orchestras and specialist ensembles around the world, and since 2006 the singer has performed on many occasions in Berliner Philharmoniker concerts, most recently just two weeks ago in a Late Night concert with songs by Kurt Weill and William Walton's Façade (Part 1). Pierre Boulez, Michael Gielen Alan Gilbert, Susanna Mälkki, Sir Simon Rattle Esa-Pekka Salonen and Jukka Pekka Saraste are among the conductors she works with. Barbara Hannigan is best known for her interpretations of contemporary music. She was involved, for example, in the opera world premieres of Louis Andriessen's Writing to Vermeer, Jan van de Putte's Wet Snow, Gerald Barry's The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant and Pascal Dusapin's Passion. The artist's past and current artistic partnerships with composers include those with György Ligeti, Luca Francesconi, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Peter Eötvös, Oliver Knussen and Henri Dutilleux. Barbara Hannigan has been widely acclaimed as an interpreter of works by György Ligeti (Mysteries of the Macabre,Aventures and NouvellesAventures, Requiem). In October 2012 the singer made her role her debut as Lulu at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels. In addition to her work as an opera and concert singer, Barbara Hannigan is also active as a conductor: In 2010, she made her conducting debut at the Théâtre du Châtelet with Igor Stravinsky's burlesque Renard. Other orchestras she has conducted since then include the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, the Gothenburg and Helsinki symphony orchestras, the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. For her conducting debut with the Ludwig ensemble at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, she received the De Ovatie 2014 prize which is awarded to a performance that makes an important contribution to classical music in the Netherlands.
Krystian Zimerman was born in Zabrze (Poland), the son of a pianist. After early piano lessons from his father, he became a pupil of Andrzej Jasinski at the age of seven. Jasinski remained Zimerman's only teacher. The musician started performing in public at an early age, but his real career began when he won not only the first prize, but also a gold medal and all the special prizes as the youngest of 118 participants from 30 countries at the 10th Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1975. As early as one year later, he performed for the first time with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Major artists such as Arthur Rubinstein, Leonard Bernstein, Carlo Maria Giulini and Herbert von Karajan have had a major influence on Krystian Zimerman's artistic development. He works with major European and American orchestras under the baton of conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Riccardo Chailly, Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa, André Previn and Giuseppe Sinopoli. Since 1986 the pianist has dedicated up to twelve of his concerts to charitable events every year. He also tries not to give more than 50 concerts a year in total. Krystian Zimerman's numerous CD releases include a recording of the First Piano Concerto by Johannes Brahms, together with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker – a recording made during his concerts with the orchestra in September 2003. He also appeared with this work together with the Berliner Philharmoniker as part of the 2013 Easter Festival in Baden-Baden. In the orchestra's Berlin concerts, the artist most recently appeared over three evenings in February 2013 with Witold Lutosławski's Piano Concerto which was composed for the pianist in 1987; the conductor was Sir Simon Rattle.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - A 12-year-old girl has been taken
to the hospital after a storm drain grate she was standing on gave
way near Fort Lauderdale.
The girl was waiting for her school bus Tuesday morning when the
drain collapsed.
The drain is about 10-feet deep.
The grate became wedged and the girl, who was not identified, held onto the top.
Bystanders immediately pulled her out.
Broward County Sheriff's authorities say the girl was conscious
when rescuers arrived.
She received minor bumps and bruises.

I just bought a new keyboard and mouse (Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000) and it has a neat little zoom lever in the middle of the keyboard.

I have no idea where to start. Where do I start? :)

It's clear from the "60 Minutes" interview what role running mate Mike Pence will play in Trump's campaign, says Jake Novak. » Read More
No state benefits more from federal largess, but a senator voted against the stimulus bill and the governor decries "intrusive" policies.
The results don't reflect well on the home states of these leaders, regardless of their politics.
Outgoing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called President Obama's approval of cap-and-trade legislation to counter global warming "an enormous threat to our economy" in a Washington Post op-ed piece Tuesday morning.
Well, of one thing I am certain—fiscal drag will offset monetary stimulus, and the result will be a torpid economy—with high unemployment and anemic growth. Hopefully, the Senate will be able to muscle enough change in the pending legislation to marginalize the economic drain, but I am not optimistic about that.
If you can stomach living in Alaska for 12 months, you'll be eligible to get a check from the Alaska Permanent Fund. Every year this fund, which gets its money by taking a cut of Alaska's oil revenues, pays out upwards of $1,000 to every citizen of Alaska.
I hope my McCain election night blogging pulled back the curtain a little on what really happens at these events.
As we close in on the presidential election, most polls are showing Obama in the lead, as McCain still fights for the upset win. What do the Intrade markets show? www.intrade.com)
With less than a week before the Presidential Election, the candidates are rushing to key battleground states to convince voters of their economic plans to deal with the financial crisis. But will it help?
Amidst it all, it can be quite easy to miss a simple fact: since the start of the primaries, Barack Obama and John McCain have been interviewing for a job.
Election Day is only two weeks away, and as John McCain and Barack Obama make their final pitches to "close the deal" with voters, a stunning new ATI-News/Zogby poll shows a clear majority of undecided voters disagree with Obama's plan for wealth redistribution in America.
As we close in on the presidential election, most polls are showing Obama in the lead, and the Intrade markets currently show Obama with a higher probability of winning the presidency. www.intrade.com)
The day after a political debate it seems appropriate to examine just what this presidential campaign means for the TV biz. First, to the debate itself, in which both candidates spent quite a bit of time addressing the plummeting stock market and the financial meltdown, which also surely drove viewers to tune in.
The McCain and Obama presidential campaigns traded accusations of mudslinging Monday in the wake of new ads dredging up infamous events from 20, 30, even 40 years ago.
Many Americans watching the vice presidential candidates' debate agreed that Gov. Sarah Palin's performance exceeded their generally low expectations. Whether she did well enough against Sen. Joe Biden is another matter.
The Vice Presidential debate tonight will likely be one of the most watched ever, often eclipsing the buzz of the presidential debates, Intrade has created a contract measuring which presidential candidate will receive more of a bump from tonight's debate (www.intrade.com).
I sure hope Sarah Palin talks at some length about drilling in tonight's debate with Sen. Joe Biden. Palin is an energy expert. And if she is unleashed she can score major points against her opponent, who has opposed every expansion of oil, gas, and nuclear down through the years
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin portrayed herself Tuesday as a champion of everyday people while noting her family's stock portfolio took a $20,000 hit last week.
If the markets and the election want to make you tear your hair out...here's a much better alternative: laugh. First off--politics. I highly recommend the latest edition of "National Review", where Rob Long, who used to write for "Cheers", has an "article" on suggested reading for pre-teen girls.
Not surprisingly, Americans are still down on the economy, according to the latest CNBC survey, with 93 percent of respondents describing it as poor or fair. But, in light of the Wall Street problems on the front page, there are signs that sentiment has bottomed. Nowhere is that more apparent than the huge jump in expectations that the economy will get on track in the next year.
Americans are split on supporting the Bush administration's rescue plan for Wall Street, according to a new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll.

At this finely tooled tragedy's core towers Emilie Dequenne, no longer the feral young thing seen in 1999′s "Rosetta," but a trapped animal pushed to devastating extremes.
This is a taut psychological study, based on a true story, of the complexities of personal power relationships that begins with the kind of shattering revelation that would be the conclusion of most films.

Re: Bareknuckle fight
If the guy is as crude a fighter as you are describing, he may try to bullrush you. Sidestep him and pot shot him as he goes past you by either pivoting on your lead foot and throwing a left or pivoting on your back foot and smacking him with a right if you fight in a conventional stance or the opposite if a southpaw.
Another thing I liked to do was toss a few jabs to see how my opponent reacted. A few times they would follow my jab with one of their own. If he does this, toss out a few jabs then feint one and when he tosses his out, duck under and shoot a hard right to the solar plexus. I've dropped a couple guys with this and they don't get up fast. It's pretty much fight over if you knock the wind out of an opponent.
Liver shots with hooks are great punches and the advice about avoiding the forehead and mouth is right on, especially bareknuckled. If you cut your hands on his teeth there is a very good chance you will get a pretty nasty infection in your hands that will take a good bit of time and cost to get rid of.

Ilhabela Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 37 photos
The cruise stopped in Ilhabela, an island off Sao Paulo, Brazil. The first thing we encountered was a little old lady who wanted to give us a palm reading, she was extremely upset to find that none of the cruise ship pax spoke Portuguese! This island features snorkeling, parasailing, free music in the park, lots of little boutique shops.
- Pros:Shops, laid back people, blue ocean
- Cons:None
- In a nutshell:Beautiful little island

You can walk around the whole town in about an hour. Lots of little shops, not unlike any other beach town worldwide.... more travel advice
The ship warned of humongous mosquitoes and handed us little bags of repellent. But none were encountered. more travel advice

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 13th, 2009
Running Time: 195 Min.
Director: Gazzman
Company: Harmony Films
DVD Extras: Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies), Subtitles
Cast: Tony DeSergio, Sara Stone (I), Charley Chase, Olivier Sanchez, Aiden Starr, Angelina Ashe, John Strong, Jessica Moore, James Deen, Marco Banderas, Riley Evans, Jenna Presley
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Big Bust
Big boob performers get kinky with emphasis mostly placed on big boob movements.
While big busts serve as the primary theme, there is an assortment of other forms of kink in this sexual kettle. Sara Stone and Aiden Starr begin with a very erotic and serious cigar-puffin' girl/girl smoker that is soon ignited by the addition of Tony DeSergio and James Deen.
Angelia Ashe proves that deep throating Olivier Sanchez is a good reason for the camera to temporarily cease following her breasts. The ever-talented Jessica Moore, whose ability to shoot ice cubes out of her pussy into the waiting hands of John Strong is revealed, takes on Strong and Marco Banderas, and even their double penetration of this busty babe is shot to often highlight her bouncing, face-slapping big boobs.
Likewise for Riley Evans in a threesome with DeSergio and Sanchez—they may be pegging her deep while thrashing around in a pool, but the cameraman never loses sight of the fact that this is meant to center on and emphasize breasts and their movements.

New Delhi — India will auction 12.5% of Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd. on Friday, a senior finance ministry official said Wednesday.
The price the government hopes to fetch will be revealed on Thursday, the ministry's divestment-department secretary Ravi Mathur said. He is coordinating the auction.
At a current share price of 45.30 rupees the government could raise 3.12 billion rupees ($57.8 million).
The government owns 92.5% of Rashtriya.
The government intends by the end of March to have raised 300 billion rupees selling stakes in state-owned enterprises in a bid to narrow India's budget deficit–expected to be 5.2% of gross domestic product this fiscal year.
It has already raised 215 billion rupees but expects to fall 40 billion rupees-50 billion rupees short.
Separately, another finance ministry official said it is likely to sell some of MMTC next week. It earlier said the stake for sale would be 9.33%.

Ocean carriers Maersk Line, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, OOCL and MOL issued rate increases on various trades.
The new warehouse is the first facility in Vietnam to provide a super frozen storage room, which reaches as cold at -58 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meanwhile, just this Friday, the Shanghai Shipping Exchange said its Shanghai Containerized Freight Index declined 6.2 percent from last Friday's reading of 670.29 to a reading of 628.59.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Some logistics providers remain skeptical about how well it will work for ports to weigh containers and transmit the data to carriers on behalf of shippers.
The Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association said that a key benefit of the terminal weighing approach is that shippers will not be required to perform any additional actions in order to provide the verified gross mass of containers.
After a weak first quarter in 2016, east-west capacity rebounded slightly in advance of the traditional summer peak season, but overcapacity, decreased volumes and low rates continued to drive carriers into the ever-changing alliance game.

Pulling Faces is an acerbic, topical comedy about society's obsession with youth, beauty and transformation. Louise plays Joanne Taylor - a former TV Diva who is on the verge of her 55th birthday, seriously single, 'hot-flushing' and about to make some drastic changes in her life.

Product Description
The 2001 season is divided into 13 episodes (including two-part finale "Race to the Finish"). Instead of Immunity, there are Fast Forwards. The first team to find one goes straight to the next Pit Stop (rest area), bypassing any Roadblocks (tasks) left in the leg, while a Detour is a choice between two tasks. Some of the more hair-raising stunts include bungee jumping in Zambia ("The Race Begins") and beetle-munching in Beijing ("Fight to the Last Minute"). Other exotic ports of call include Paris, Rome, Tunis, New Delhi, and Bangkok.
From the start, certain teams assert themselves--and not always in the most positive ways. They include bickering (and nauseated) couples Paul and Amie (recently engaged) and Lenny and Karyn (dating), separated parents Margarita and Frank, and 14-year life partners Bill and Joe, AKA Team Guido (a name inspired by their dog). Other contestants include friends, roommates, grandparents, working mothers, and law partners. The road ahead will be long. Some partnerships will be strengthened by the journey. Others will be weakened. As with Survivor, alliances will be formed, like mother/daughter duo Nancy and Emily with self-proclaimed "Ugly American" frat brothers Kevin and Drew. (The Guidos uncharitably dub the latter "the fatties," while Kevin and Drew dub them Bert and Ernie.) The Amazing Race is hosted by low-key New Zealander Phil Keoghan. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Special Features
- "All Access Pass" - 90 minutes of additional scenes not shown on television
- A special "Look Back" recap of the season
- In-depth interviews with host Phil Keoghan and executive producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Bertram van Munster

If you are an armchair traveler like me you will not be disappointed with the locations. The visuals are superb. The locations chosen (I won't spoil it for you, not knowing where the teams will be going is half the fun) are luscious and a feast for the eyes. The physical challenges at the exotic locations are thrilling. Written between the lines is a story of how inexperienced travelers can learn respect for people and cultures overseas.
The music and editing adds to the heart pounding suspense of who will make it to each elimination stop. Interpersonal dramas make you want to yell for some and yell at others. When one team avoids elimination against all odds, I surprised myself when I burst into tears. The producers described that they had the same reaction in the Making Of special.
The commentaries are quite fun. Don't listen to any of them before you know the final outcome. The winners still choke up after watching the show a dozen times. The final 20 minutes is as perfect as any scripted movie ending. After watching the making of documentaries (too short) I gained a new respect for the bold concept that had the production teams racing to beat the contestants to the stops.
On occasion the emotional card overshadows the location shots and that can get annoying. But if you can make it through to the last 4 episodes you'll be stomping and screaming at the screen.
A big warning: don't look at the covers of the DVDs and don't look at the menus on the screen too hard. They might give away too much information about the outcome.
A big thumbs up. I can't wait for Seasons 2 - 8.
It is a revolutionary reality series that has a concept that was probably very hard to pull off on paper (can you imagine the reactions of the TV executives when they first heard about the concept of the show). But amazingly, they did pull it off! It is very evident that the producers treat each episode as "special episode" because can you just imagine the logistics and the number of people (across the globe) involve in producing this show?
There are some aspects of the show that were later on in the succeeding seasons were changed mostly for improvements. Example of this is that in the first season, Phil only received the teams who came in the last place (a person from that particular country receives those who came in before the last team). Part of the fun is watching the reactions of the racers anticipate whether they were eliminated or not. Because in the first season the racers already know if they came in last, we were not able to see those kinds of reactions.
Some of the most memorable teams were Team Guido (you won't believe the extent they were willing to do to get ahead), Lenny and Karyn (the original fighting couple, but their fight looked real and not some deliberate attempt to gain screen time. When Karyn said "Disappointing", you believe her!Read more ›

The premise behind the Amazing Race is simple. Race around the world and the first team to cross the finish line wins one million dollars. Of course, with prize money like that, it won't be easy navigating your way around the world, but if you succeed, you get the cash.
The race began (and ended) in New York City. Teams traveled through South Africa, China, India, Thailand, France and numerous other places before returning to the United States for the completion of the race. Along the way, eight teams of two were eliminated, leaving only three teams of two in the final leg.
When the 11 teams of two left the starting line, they had no idea where they were going, or what they were doing. They got clues that led them to exotic destinations, places many of them had never been. It was fun to watch these Americans try to get along in another country without speaking the language.
There were some great challenges in the first version of the Amazing Race. Contestants had to jump off a cliff in Africa, navigate a crowded market in India, hike a steep portion of the Great Wall of China, drive a team of dogs in Alaska, soar in a glider above Italy and more. As the years have gone on, the challenges have remained difficult, but I believe that some of the ones in the first season were among the toughest.Read more ›

Things to know for Legal Assistant Employment Application Questions
Corporations and law groups which offer legal services to their buyers hire paralegal associates and trainees who assist them in their legal activity. Every business requirements a good and knowledgeable worker for itself and it's the same in situation of legal groups, they need intelligent paralegals that have thorough knowledge about legal proceedings. Prior to the official hiring and recruitment in the paralegals, the businesses or groups eat a testing test and an job interview to scan the candidates. This method helps to identify the correct person inside group who has to become selected. A general legal questionnaire is prepared by staff which includes queries inside the respective field. Sometimes paralegal job interview queries are incredibly tricky and fact oriented where an individual has to give appropriate references for his answers. Paralegal job interview is not as easy as the popular task interviews are because it requires the base of info and their appropriate legal things in their support.
Generally, most of the legal corporations research an excellent legal assistant so they don't ask about legal procedures and related laws like "what is your knowledge about formal legal proceedings? This a weird kind of question if asked from a legal assistant inside a paralegal interview. The principal focus is towards the candidate's easy skill and research abilities, regardless of whether a candidate can probe out detailed analysis about a legal scenario. Some legal businesses ask for strengths and weaknesses of an individual who is trying to find a task for your paralegal assistant. These sorts of questions are irrelevant to the career but they supply an initiating point in your formal session or sometime it may possibly begin with asking a person's name. Generally, candidates who have completed their paralegal training make it through since they've rich knowledge about several legal aspects. And after the paralegal job interview questions arrive to civil matters, they typically ask questions related to intellectual property rights and real estate laws.
Paralegal job interview queries like "why ought to we take you as a paralegal? These kinds of questions are really confusing and put a candidate inside a quandary case mainly because a single wrong word can make the situation worse. In this respect an appropriate resolution based answer is needed which can justify the question. Sometimes the paralegal job interview questions may be from employer employee relation; just the straightforward rules practically nothing in depth is required. If someone has already got some experience as a paralegal then question may be asked about his jobs like his branch of working, documentation program is really important. If any question is related to past jobs experience then the answer needs to be stated inside a professional way due to the fact this will help an individual in elevating his profile. There are lots of open shut queries which are asked like "Describe a single of the worst experiences". Another person has to react professionally and need to respond with a precise answer rather than indulging in details. In a paralegal interview, they may possibly ask about a person's confidence level or his motivation techniques. Mainly the questions asked are from professional background of an individual including his past experiences.

Benefits Of Hiring A 3rd Party Background Check Company
Pre-employment background checks are more than just a way of avoiding bad hires; they're also corporations' best bet for beating negligence court cases. This article reviews why more and more corporations are hiring third party employee background check companies, rather than conducting background checks in-house. Read on to discover the benefits corporations enjoy by outsourcing their employment background checks.
1. Increased applicant privacy.
If an internal employee does your employee background checks, workplace drama can ensue. New hires will be less likely to trust their co-workers charged with employment background screening duties. Third party background checks go a long way in preventing mistrust and gossip. Moreover, they show applicants and employees that you are dedicated to even-handed, fair treatment.
2. Less chance for expensive mistakes.
Did you know that some states require employees to provide applicants with a copy of their employment background screening, even if it's not specifically requested? Or that it's illegal to base a hiring decision on court cases that did not result in convictions? Your company could be sued if you fail to follow the letter of the law as far as employee background checks are concerned. Yet few HR managers have the time or legal expertise to avoid all potential background check lawsuits. For this reason, increasing numbers of companies are outsourcing their employment background screening to vendors who have spent decades focused on these issues. Doing so typically results in fewer costly hiring mistakes.
3. Legal protection.
Beyond preventing legal mistakes, outsourcing background screening also grants companies exemption from lawsuits. The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promises legal immunity for companies that choose to outsource their employment background checks. In other words, your company can avoid lawsuits citing hiring negligence, privacy invasion, and defamation if you outsource your background procedures.
Still, it's notable that the FCRA still requires companies to notify candidates if they are investigating credit history. Therefore, it's smart to ask your employee background screening vendor whether they offer forms for applicant notification.
4. Decreased costs.
It would likely take a full-time employee months to research how to legally, respectfully, thoroughly carry out employment background checks. Then, it might take them another few months to locate the investigative resources needed to methodically do employment background screening.
In contrast, third-party, professional background check companies have already developed the understanding and resources needed to effectively run employment background checks, so they can typically deliver the same (or improved) results at a lower cost.
5. More meticulous background checks.
Because professional background check companies specialize in labor investigations, they usually have excellent sources for examining individuals' history. Having spent hundreds of hours perfecting their screening approach, professional background check companies can typically deliver more thorough investigations than can be achieved in-house.
6. Improved service.
Because they are investigative experts, background check companies offer extra features for their clients, such as adverse action letters. The law states that if you choose not to hire someone based on characteristics such as credit history, you must inform his or her in writing about your decision. An adverse action letter fulfills this duty. Many employment background vendors offer complimentary adverse action letters as part of their employee screening service, saving you time.
There are many reasons for outsourcing your employee background screening process, from lowered costs to improved legal immunity.

Employee Time Tracking: The Verdict's Out
Recently a pair of decisions involving the tracking of employees was handed down from the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, which upholds the rights of employers to track the location of their workers. This trend has been considered as "pushing the limits" of the law and the privacy rights! So what are the rights of an employer and/or employee when it comes to employee time tracking?
In 1987 the U.S. Supreme Court created an exception for the "Searching of Workplaces", which held "that if an employer is required to obtain a warrant each time it wanted to search an office for a work-related purpose, it would not help in assuring the policies of the business or office were conducive to required conduct."
Some workers have argued that a GPS tracking service violates privacy legislation and represents an "offence to the dignity" of companies' employees.
The companies, on the other hand, insist it is reasonable to use the GPS data to more efficiently deploy its staff, ensure that employee time tracking is efficient, and to be sure that a worker is were they said they were.
My take on this is that, "we as employees have rights and privileges to privacy, but that is limited to the extent that we are paid to perform a job. While on the clock, it is our responsibility to fulfill our obligation to the duties of the position. If an employer suspects that, an employee is not performing as required or that said employee is violating policies, then it has the right to use at its disposal certain means of verifying that suspicion."
It is obvious now that employees have become a bit less resistant as to the way companies use GPS data. Largely used as a tracking tool in the early years, it was given the ""Big Brother"" connotation. Now organizations have put the employee location information to other uses, which can benefit the employee as well other than being used as time tracking software! Such as assuring drivers are taking the most direct routes to their destinations, or tracking the time a salesperson remains on a sales call to see if there's a correlation between "length of call" and "likelihood of sale." We are seeing less resistance to GPS tracking as the demographics have introduced a new wave of younger, more social-media friendly employees. As time and technology advance, this change will take time to filter in, but the resistance will lessen over time.
Some workers have argued that a employee time tracking violates privacy legislation and represents an "offence to the dignity" of companies' employees.

When St. Clair High School students return from winter break on Jan. 3, there is a good possibility they will notice at least the beginnings of some changes to the look of the inside of their building.
The R-XIII board of education this month approved spending about $26,000 from its capital projects fund to relocate the counselors office. The work requires four new doors to be cut into the current block and brick in the main hallway across the entrance of the high school office.

The AP Fact-Checks Sarah Palin's Book
You betcha, it's a big ol' box of lies. Not that that will matter, sales-wise.
The AP strikes the latest blow to Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue, simply by fact-checking it and finding that Palin not only makes many assertions that could not stand up to any kind of rational scrutiny, but also just plain-old gets facts wrong. So, basically, the woman knows her audience. A lot of people are still going to buy this book. [AP via NYT]

Gisele Bundchen in Calvin Klein
Disregard her trademark beachwaves, this is Gisele B├╝ndchen with son Benjamin out and about in New York. She wore a pair of Calvin Klein jeans with some wedged boots and a striped tee. These jeans just look amazing on Gisele. They fit her perfectly and work so well with her whole look. I think the detail on them is really cool too. The twisted seaming really makes her amazing legs even better.
I am actually surprised to realize that Gisele has actually never had a Calvin Klein campaign. She is THE Supermodel. But having pretty much every other big name under her belt and being rumored to be the next Givenchy girl, I'm sure she is alright with that.
Charlize Theron in Calvin Klein
Charlize Theron was spotted hitting up Bristol Farms in West Hollywood wearing Calvin Klein's x abraided black wash jeans. Check out her heels, I love those shoes she has on, they are quite sassy! I really love how Charlize can play a hot vixen in her movies, she is so beautiful!
Did you hear the latest rumors floating around the gossip mill that Charlize has been tapped to star in the upcoming "Alien" prequel? I think that will be a really good role for her to play! Buy these jeans here for $99.50.
Lara Stone to appear in Calvin Klein Ads
Model Lara Stone is the new face of Calvin Klein. Lara will be replacing Eva Mendes as the face of Calvin Klein jeans but also taking over the position for the Calvin Klein collection and CK Calvin Klein. Although Mendes' ads featured her rubbed down in baby oil, Lara's ads are sure to be equally sexy, as male models Simon Ellisdon, AJ, Grayson Vaughan, and Eric Anderson have all been recruited to appear alongside her.
Kellan Lutz in Calvin Klein
Kellan Lutz stepped out to help Macy's promote the new Calvin Klein underwear at Herald Square in New York City. Dressed casually in Calvin Klein jeans, a white v-neck t-shirt and of course some Calvin Klein boxers, Kellan showed off his abs and said a few words during the promo event. What do you think of his hair color? I personally like it darker than this…
