With an implementation date of 2nd October 2017, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA) has issued a new instructional circular (Circular 23/2017/TT-BLDTBXH) providing the details for online submission and management of applications in the new online process.
While the new system remains optional for now in most Labour Department offices, the offices in Hanoi have completed their transition over to the new system, and electronic application submission has been mandatory there since 1st July 2017.
Processing times are reduced for online submissions but not significantly.
The new Circular 23 provides detailed process instructions – including suggested submission timeframes and estimated processing times – of applications for job position approval, initial and renewals of work permits, and work permit exemptions.
Our Advice
Companies not yet using the optional electronic applications process in the offices outside of Hanoi are encouraged to register for accounts and familiarise themselves with the new system now, as it is likely to become mandatory in other cities as more offices transition to the new system.
For advice and information on Vietnamese immigration in general, please email us at email@example.com.

Those vehicles will be equipped with a 300 mile range battery. In the tradition of a limited-edition series, they will feature unique badging and an extensive complement of options. After the Model S Signature Series, deliveries for North America will continue with the 300 mile batteries, followed by 230 and 160 options later in 2012. Delivery of the European left-hand drive Model S is scheduled to begin in late 2012. In mid-2013 we plan to begin delivering the right-hand drive Model S for Europe and Asia. Each launch will begin with a limited edition Signature Series. We expect to produce approximately 5,000 units in 2012 as we ramp to full single shift production capacity of 20,000 units per year in 2013. The price of the US base Model S with a 160-mile battery is $49,900 after the $7,500 federal tax credit. The 230-mile range option is expected to price at about $10,000 more and the 300-mile option at about $20,000 more than the base. We are currently working on final pricing and options for Model S, including the Signature Series. We expect to have updates on Model S pricing worldwide this summer. Quite a surprise they will start with 300 mile deliveries first. As European I hope prices and estimated amount of deliveries expected in 2012 will be released soon

Primus's Katsumoto is a fine samurai-inspired creation with some creative parts use. Note particularly the use of treads and the unified design aesthetic (read: poky bits) on the arms, shoulder armor, and torso.
Jason Corlett has a pair of steampunkish post-apoc sort of creations, the Wasteland Scavenger and Clockwork Soldier:
There's more at his MOCPages if you're into the story side of things.

Flickrite Pate-keetongu has built a rendition of, well...Keetongu. The colors could use some work in that the secondary one should be all black or all gray, but I like the use of Bohrok headplates. They give this revamp a Juggernauty sort of vibe.

Hi-res pictures of some sets for Hero Factory, Bionicle's new summer replacement line, have surfaced. Bearing oddly human names and overly specialised parts (I thought Lego said this new line was supposed to be more flexible? I really dislike the arm-covering weapons as they will be difficult to use with anything besides these 45-degree arms), the sets still look all right. The leg armor and helmets may find good use for their intended purpose in other creations, as will the feet, which are probably my favorite pieces. Below, the improbably named Jimi Stringer:

There are two things I really like about BCii's version of BZP member EmperorWhenua: The head, which uses a Piraka skull interestingly and generally looks cool, and the color scheme. Gold, teal, and white. Definitely a rare, if not entirely novel, combination, and one in which I'd like to see more creations made. Also, check out the teapot. When was the last time you saw one of those attempted in Bionicle form?

Okay, so after the highly in-depth and scientific poll I took, the only things that clearly emerged were that people hate lime green and want to see more MOCs, both of which I happily ignored during the month of December. I could whine ad nauseam about real life and enumerate all the things that have been keeping me busy and stressed over the last few months, but that's not what you're here for and I'd feel like an egotistical prat for loading you with them anyway. So! The reredesign has been done, now to the creations.

In addition to the excellent presentation, the robot itself has a delightfully offbeat, steampunkish vibe to it.

It's coming. Mark my words.
The announcement of a new worldwide club sevens tournament at Twickenham on 17 and 18 August involving teams from around the world should begin to sound the alarm bells for the 15-man game.
Four English Premiership clubs will be joined by the likes of the Blues, the Stormers and the Brumbies as well as teams from New York, Los Angeles, Moscow and Buenos Aires in a tournament format that is expected to grow year on year.
Nothing to worry about? Sevens surely can't compete with the 15-man game – a sport with a 150 year history, with a World Cup and an established international calendar and with money pouring in from investors around the world?
To which I say one word: the Olympics. (OK, 2 words).
The inclusion of Sevens in the 2016 Olympics is something of a game-changer. The IRB World Sevens circuit has already demonstrated a globalisation of rugby that the 15-man game can only dream of with countries like Kenya and Portugal now featuring in the later stages of major tournaments. The Olympics will undoubtedly exacerbate this further as Unions decide that channelling funds into the shorter form of the game will prove far more beneficial than trying to break in to the traditional international rugby cabal.
Furthermore, the August tournament will be televised by BT Sport. Once broadcasters start to get involved all bets are off. After all, if you are trying to attract new audiences what would you broadcast – a colourful, fast-paced, exciting game with bucketloads of tries or endless scrummage resets whilst the referee glances admiringly at himself on the stadium big screen?
We need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Problem is, for die hard fans of the 'proper game', people just don't get the same excitiment as seeing a lot of nations/teams playing exciting (to me messy) rugby. Why pay to watch something that lasts 80mins ending 6-6 when you can pay to watch 20 tries in the same time period in sevens. very disappointing news nonetheless.

The dog died after being subjected to 95-degree heat for hours.
A police dog in Utah died of heat exhaustion after his handler wrongly left him in a parked police truck, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
Endy, a K-9 service dog for the Cache County Sheriff's Office, was found dead in a parked Sheriff K-9 Unit truck in early June. Now, an internal investigation has revealed that the handler's decision to break procedure caused the dog's death.
K-9 Unit trucks come with security features to keep the canines at safe temperatures when the car is running. According to the investigation, however, Endy's handler broke protocol and turned off the truck before leaving the dog in the parked vehicle, exposing it to 95-degree heat for hours.
The officer, who police declined to identify, forgot to let the canine out of the hot truck before his shift ended.
The department has placed the involved officer on unpaid leave, and will transfer him to a different unit that does not have dogs.
Endy, an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois, had worked with law enforcement since 2010. Over the course of that time he was involved in over 200 police actions, including sniffing out drugs and suspects. The Sheriff's Department plans to host a memorial service for the police dog in the near future.
To prevent future incidents like this, Sheriff Chad Jensen of the Cache County Sheriff's Office has stated that his department is actively pursuing the implementation of new security technologies in their K-9 trucks.
These mechanisms, Jensen says, require handlers to manually shut down the temperature security system for the dog, and thus remind handlers to remove police dogs from their truck before turning off the vehicle. Numerous warning signals, including a loud alarm, will sound if the officers do not follow the procedure.
Next, for a story with a happier ending, read about the French police dog who was fired from his position for being too friendly. Then, read about the camel who bit the head off of his owner after being left in the hot sun.

In my house there are three bathrooms. I don't really care about how they look as long as the plumbing is correct and everything is working. I just get in to get the job done and get out. But my wife thinks that bathrooms have to look nice. I'm not sure what that means but I don't argue.
Recently she wanted to update our guest bathroom. I thought it looked fine but she insisted. She wanted new faucets and tile. She wanted an update on the paints and the decorations. I just handle the plumbing part of things and she does the rest. My wife got it in her head she needed a new sink for that bathroom.
We looked around at your basic sink but she wanted something a little fancier. There are a variety of sinks on the market now days. They come in almost any color and materials such as vitreous china, fireclay, enameled cast iron, acrylic sinks and even tempered glass. If you are looking for bold colors Enameled sinks come in all shades as well as earth tones and grays. As we were looking I was surprised to see stainless steel sinks becoming more and more popular in the bathroom. My wife is much more tradition material and color. After looking around for weeks we settled on an American Standard bathroom sink(s).
The thing my wife loved about this sink, that she felt set it apart from a "regular" sink, was that it is an above-counter sink. It is a basin type and very spacious. I wasn't sure about it at first but after experiencing it for quite some time now, I am glad we got this sink.
We chose this sink for a few reasons. Of course my wife chose it for looks – she liked the look of it, round above-counter and all. She also liked the bowl shape with no faucet holes or overflow. I'm glad she liked it for looks but I didn't buy it just for looks.
I really like the vitreous china and the spaciousness of the basin. At first I was worried with it not having an overflow but the depth of this sink makes up for it. The faucet is not installed direction on the sink bowl. Previously in that bathroom we had an under-counter sink; however we were replacing the counter tops with granite so that was not much of a problem. If you are considering an above-counter sink you made need to do some adjusting with some decorative plates to cover the holes.
Although above-counter sinks are becoming more popular in high-end homes and mater bathrooms, I was afraid that I would have to pay a lot more than I was wanting. I actually found a great deal on this sink that was not all that much more expensive that buying one similar to what we originally had in the bathroom.
My wife and I have had the new sink in that bathroom for a month or so now. Both of us have been pleased with our purchase and would recommend this sink to anyone looking for this particular style.

In life, each of us has to take responsibility for our own actions. Toxic people do not do this. They have a habit of turning things around so that you feel bad, you feel guilty, and you feel like you are at fault. Realize this and take back your power. ~ unknown
Resent her blaming me for her insecurities and issues. I am taking back my power and realizing she is the toxic one. I may have not handled things the best, I may have jumped in too deep, too fast. But I am NOT the person she described in out last conversation.

By now, pretty much the whole entire blogosphere has made the By Hand London Anna Dress. So yes, I am late to the party (or with this fabric should I be saying I'm late to the luau?), but I am still at the party! Woot!
I sewed along with the sewalong, but faltered at the last curve being late, late, late with photos.
Now she's not a hard make, but if you're not feeling confident, the sewalong had great tips and pics, making her even easier to sew up.
I made the maxi dress version with the boat neck, but got a little crazy and added a second split to the skirt. However craziness was dialled down when I reduced the height of the split – no-one needs to see that shiz.
I traced the pattern onto Swedish tracing paper in a 14 – it was way too big and I ended taking off about 6-7 cms off the side seams at the end. Make a toile people – it will save the unpicking!! And while I'm handing out hot tips – if you're a tracer, GET AMONGST the Swedish tracing paper, it's so much easier to work with than any other kind of paper.
I cut about 5cm off the hem, and my current hems are still huge! 8-10cms I reckon. I love that these BHL ladies design for us taller style people, this is the only pattern brand where I've ever had to shorten!
I overlocked most seams to finish them off, and hand blind stitched the splits and the skirt hem.
This lovely lady is made a tropical rayon from Spotlight that I nearly wet myself when I found amongst the fabric rolls because it was exactly what I was looking for for Anna – and I got the last 5 metres of it – HAH!
If you're gonna get all technical like, the fit is probably not perfecto. For example, the waist seam is hitting me too high, but c'est la vie, I'll fix it next time. On the other hand, my invisible zip insertion is divine – even if I do so say myself. What's even more interesting is that I can't remember the last time I actually hung out with an invisible zip. Needless to say, I was happy.
I can't wait for some more Anna appropriate weather. However, I did wear her last week with boots and jacket, and I think she worked those boots 😉
Come at me – what are you working on right now?

Every day, we hear news from doom-mongering media outlets claiming the world will end in fire and pain three days from now.
While most people tend to ignore these pathetic prophetics for the most part, when Stephen Hawking – arguably the most brilliant scientist in modern history – speaks out about humanity's demise, I'm all for listening very intently.
In a video released by the Swedish health organisation, GEN-PEP, Hawking warns that excessive consumption and increased lethargy will be the death of us all.
Hawking said:
At the moment humanity faces a major challenge and millions of lives are in danger. I see the world as a whole and I am here to address one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Today too many people die from complications related to weight and obesity.
We eat too much and move too little. Fortunately the solution is simple: More physical activity and change in diet. is not rocket science and for what its worth, how being sedentary has become a major health problem is beyond my understanding.
According to GEN-PEN, physical inactivity is now the fourth leading cause of death in the world, and shockingly, more people today die from complications related to obesity than starvation.
So put the crisps down and get the fuck up, because when Steven Hawking tells you to do something, you damn well do it.

Here's an unusual quilt block pattern. It is relatively simple to make and would certainly make a quilt with a difference. The three across quilt block is classified as a five patch pattern and I have made it here as a 14″ block.
Cutting requirements for the three across quilt block
2.1/2″ squares: five dark blue
2.7/8″ squares: two each in light blue and white
4.1/2″ squares: two each in yellow and white
4,1.2″ by 2.1/2″ rectangles: eight light blue, four white
Making the three across quilt block
Make half square triangle units with the 2.7/8″ squares. Lay a blue and a white square with right sides together and draw a line along one of the diagonals. Sew a 1/4″ seam either side of the line that you drew and cut along the line to produce two half square triangle units.
When laying out the patchwork pieces for the three across quilt block, I find it easiest to lay out the squares one colour at a time. You can see the yellow and most of the blue squares laid out on the left and it gives you an idea of where everything goes. Then when you add the white squares and the half square triangles you can see the full layout on the right.
Sew the squares together in pairs to create larger sections. These can then naturally be sewn together across the rows, creating three rows. The first and third rows are the equivalent of three rows each while the middle row is a straightforward one block row.
Sew the three rows to each other to complete the three across quilt block.

NORTH FALMOUTH, Mass. — Father William W. Campbell passed away at the Marian Manor Nursing Home in Boston, February 3 at the age of 87. He was born in Salem to the late W. Warren and Louise C. (Barry) Campbell.
Father Campbell grew up in Immaculate Conception Parish, Salem, went to St. Mary Boy's High School in Lynn. He entered St. John Seminary during the war years which meant 24 months of continuous studies.
Cardinal Cushing ordained Father Campbell on Jan. 10, 1952, at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
After serving at St. Patrick Parish in Cambridge for four years, Father Campbell was among 10 Boston priests who responded to that invitation and joined the military chaplaincy in 1956.
As a priest in the Air Force, Father Campbell has been around the world five times and lived in 12 countries. But what he thoroughly enjoyed was talking to young people about vocations. He was especially proud of the 10 GI's he had known who entered priesthood or religious life.
In June 1987 after 31 years of service, he retired as a colonel from the Air Force. He went on to direct the Notre Dame University ROTC program as assistant to the president. Three years later he returned to Boston and accepted an appointment as pastor of St. Mary Parish in Wrentham in September 1990.
He retired Sept. 30, 1994, and resided at his family home. He resided in Falmouth serving at St. Elizabeth Seton Parish in Falmouth and many years at St. John the Evangelist Parish in Pocasset.
Father Campbell is survived by his nephew, Richard Campbell, and one great-niece and one great nephew. He was predeceased by his brother, Richard Campbell and sister, Miriam Chader.
A funeral Mass was celebrated February 11 at St. John the Evangelist Parish. Burial followed at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne.
Arrangements were handled by Chapman, Cole and Gleason Funeral Homes
Memorial donations may be made to: Regina Cleri Inc., 60 William Cardinal O'Connell Way, Boston, Mass. 02114-2709.

Gardening soothes me. It allures all my senses and I am drawn in by the textures, colors, smells. I garden for pleasure, for beauty, for the love of nature, for sustenance. I appreciate the beauty of all of God's magnificent plant creations, and I intend to grow as many of them as possible! The typical American yard with lawn, shrub, tree has never appealed to me. The view that always draws me in is a thickly planted, texture and color filled grouping of plants with lots of movement in it.
I am a Western US girl, born and raised. I truly appreciate the rugged landscape we are blessed with here in the mountain west, and feel that our western landscapes should be a reflection and complement to the natural landscape around us.
I am now in my fifth summer in my third home I have owned in my adult life. I have the vision in my head of all this property could be, and although I have made progress these past years, there is still much work left.
My beautiful garden goals:
-incorporate a number of native plants along with many species from similar environments around the world for a diverse, healthy, thriving habitat
-create inviting patterns of color and texture to enjoy from indoors and out year-round
-favor plants that will invite wildlife especially hummingbirds, pollinators and beneficial insects, (maybe not deer)
-select plants based on ability to thrive with minimal input from me (water, fertilizer, care)
-create useful lawn areas, emphasizing reasonably sized play areas and durable pathways, using a hardy mix of dwarf fescues (see Low Work and Water Dwarf Fescue Grass Seed) and mini clover (see Miniclover)

"My daughter had an amazing time shooting the modeling photos with John Nunes. John is a natural with children and invites tons of laugh and smiles. With the Disney music playing in the background and John's kid-friendly personality, it was a total success. She speaks of John by name and can't wait to have her pictures taken again by him. As a mother, I was so happy to see her enjoying herself. In the end the pictures were fantastic - a first class experience for both of us."
- Dana Machado
"We appreciate the time that you took with Deva's photo session. You made her feel very comfortable with all of the different sets and poses. We are THRILLED with what we've seen so far and can't wait until we get ALL of the images in our hands! Again, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! Deva's outdoor session was FABULOUS and I absolutely LOVE the bleacher shots of her in the cheer uniform. Thank you so much for taking the best portraits of her!!"

I would make a great Senior Model and promoter of Seniors by John Nunes Photography because I have many friends at school and in different groups and activities that would listen to me as I advertise the programs. I think most people know who John Nunes is in our community and just need someone like me to lead them to his great photography - like all of my friends who will need senior portraits this fall. I worked with John Nunes the past two years when he took the excellent photos for Suzanne's Dance School. John took my older brother's great senior portraits years ago too. John Nunes is a well-known photographer whose work I enjoy. I love to look at the photos on his web site in our yearbooks. I think I would be a great Senior Model!
I love all my pictures!! I am SO glad I decides to go to John for my pictures, I couldn't be happier! The quality is so much better than other places I've been to and it was so much fun! I just wanted to say Thank You!

With burst of the housing bubble and subsequent worldwide recession, Americans are facing more credit card debt than ever before. Despite many consumers' best efforts, eliminating thousands of dollars in unsecured credit card debt is extremely difficult to accomplish alone, more often than not requiring extreme financial discipline and an impressive savings account. This situation has opened the door for bogus debt settlement companies who prey on these misguided consumers.
Debt Settlement companies burst onto the scene in 2003, offering an alternative to traditional debt consolidation firms. These companies offered the ability to bargain with banks and collection agencies to forgive large amounts of what was owed, enabling the consumer to make a down payment, and then pay monthly until the debt was paid off. This was different than the traditional programs which often wrought lower interest rates and fee's, but did nothing to reduce the total amount due.
This atmosphere presents a fertile breeding ground for predatory companies.
Consider the case of a 65-year old woman in Maryland who asked not to be identified. She signed up with a company who promised to help relieve her of the $10,000 in credit card debt she had accumulated. She gave the firm full access to her savings account (A red flag in all cases) and deposited $400 per month into an account toward her settlement.
However, when debt collectors continued to harass her, she realized the firm had never contacted her creditors in the first place.
Five years of battling with the company, while continually depositing money into her savings account, caused her to wonder if she would ever get her debt under control. She realized she had been swindled when the Attorney General's office called to inform her of the imprisonment of the firm's leaders. Unfortunately, she never got her money back and has recently filed for bankruptcy.
Luckily, this situation is still the exception to the rule, as many of these debt settlement companies offer legitimate financial services and the opportunity to become debt-free. Still, due to a lack of governmental regulation, the predatory firms still lurk, waiting for the perfectly desperate person to come along.
Protect yourself. Do your research on the firm with whom you are planning to do business. Ask friends and family, visit their website, and most importantly, check with the Better Business Bureau. Debt settlement companies can be a wonderful tool in the fight against credit card debt, just make sure you choose the right one.

text: On February 1, HUD announced a $1.9 million settlement with a Memphis-based bank to resolve alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act. Specifically, the complainant alleged that the bank "was responsible for discriminatory terms and conditions for making loans, discrimination in the making of loans, and discriminatory financing, with respect to real estate transactions." In addition, the complainant alleged that the bank engaged in discriminatory practices by failing to place bank branches in minority-concentrated areas, ultimately denying African-American and Hispanic applicants mortgage loans. The bank denied the allegations, but agreed to "voluntarily settle [the] controversy and resolve [the] matter without the necessity of an evidentiary hearing or other judicial process . . . ." Under the agreement, the bank will (i) establish a subsidy fund of $1.5 million over three years to provide interest rate reductions on home mortgages, along with down payment or closing cost assistance to qualified borrowers in identified regional areas; (ii) contribute $270,000 over the course of three years to support governmental or community-based organizations' efforts to help homeowners repair properties in predominantly minority communities, or to provide credit, financial, homeownership, or foreclosure-prevention services to homeowners in affected areas; (iii) pay directly to the complainant $105,000 to fund similar home repair, credit, financial, homeownership, and foreclosure services; and (iv) pay directly to the complainant $25,000 in damages.

I like this book because of all the trouble Ramona gets into, and how Mrs. Quimby gets them to make dinner. I found Ramona very interesting because she is the funniest character. She tried to put banana yogurt on salad. Ramona reminded me of myself because she always tries to improvise. Ramona changed because in the book Ramona changes from sad to happy a few times like when Ramona and her family were sad and then her dad suggested that they could go to the Whopperburger and they were all happy again.
I would recommend this book because it is very funny. Every time Ramona gets into trouble itÆs hilarious like when Beezus and her were forced to make dinner they put some really weird stuff in it. I would recommend this book to kids in grades 3-5 because they could probably understand the sense of humor. I think this book would interest people because she sort of improvised when she did a book review. When she was trying to concentrate, other funny thoughts came into her mind like a commercial she once watched with a man in it that ate a whole pizza. It distracted her so much she only remembered these words, ōI canÆt believe I ate the whole thing.ö

My mental health/stress leave is about to be up and the thought of returning to my job, which is my biggest trigger, has me on the verge of panic again. I just need to hold on another 4 months but 4 months feels impossible when I'm so anxious and on edge every day that I've been physically ill for weeks because of it. I get mad at myself when I can't be like everyone else and work a normal work week without feeling myself shut down after one day, I hate that a job I don't have to care about outside of my shifts there can affect every other part of my life and my ability to even want a life anymore. I don't want to continue to slave away mentally and physically at a job that offers me no appreciation or growth as a person. I've been stagnant for years and my only satisfaction and sense of accomplishment came from pursuing romantic relationships which up until my current relationship with K, were all unhealthy and occasionally toxic relationships which fed into my mental illnesses and prevented me from making any real progress in healing. K is the first person I feel I can get better with and not just hide and lose myself in. I've never known someone who understood me the way she does and supports me and inspires me to be and get better. I want less time wasted in meaningless jobs and more time invested in my relationships with myself and the people around me. The only time I feel clarity and calm is when I am not at my job. I need to be somewhere that aligns with my values and currently I am in somewhere the opposite. I'm poisoning myself every day and I feel so much anger and resentment for others because of it.
Despite being in a bad place mentally, I'm trying to make a conscious effort to find things to be grateful for. So today I am grateful for:
- all the beautiful flowers I saw today
- the vegan coconut ice cream I had this afternoon
- how much clearer and happier my skin is since cutting out foundation and changing my skincare routine; the fact that I am now comfortable leaving my house with minimal make up and have it be my "full face"
- Sebastian for being my emotional support companion and best friend
- the linda mccartney vegan 1/4 pound burgers that remind me of my favourite food pre-vegan days
- fresh sheets, the cool spring breeze through my balcony window, the sound of passing traffic
- freshly washed hair

- Revolutionary Road
- Author: Richard Yates (1926-1992)
- Rank: #96
- Published: 1961
- Publisher: Little, Brown & Co.
- Pages: 336 (Vintage Contemporary paperback)
- First Line: "The final dying sounds of their dress rehearsal left the Laurel Players with nothing to do but stand there, silent and helpless, blinking out over the footlights of an empty auditorium."
- Last Lines: "But from there on Howard Givings heard only a welcome, thunderous sea of silence. He had turned off his hearing aid."
- ML Edition: none
- Film: 2008 – **** #4 of the year (dir. Sam Mendes)
- Acclaim: National Book Award Finalist, ALL-TIME list
- Read: November, 2008
The Novel: Many great novels come back to the place where they start from (none moreso than Finnegan's Wake which literally does) and Revolutionary Road is on that list, though different than many on the list. For the first chapter of the quintessential novel of The Age of Anxiety begins by talking about the actors in the local play and in the end draws in upon the Givings and their household. This tragic, haunting story of the Wheeler family, of Frank and April and the family that both brings them together and tears them apart begins a step away from them and ends in much the same manner.
Before the Wheelers are even mentioned, we have a glimpse of what their life has becomes with a description of the audience in which Frank sits and the Players that April is the star of: "Like the Players, they were mostly on the young side of middle age, and they were attractively dressed in what the New York clothing stores describe as Country Casuals. Anyone could see they were a better than average crowd, in terms of education and employment and good health, and it was clear too that they considered this a significant evening." So now we know where we are, what part of society we are getting a glimpse of. It is in the second chapter that we begin to focus in on poor Frank and April, as we see them together in the car after the debacle of the play is over and as we transition back and forth from their first meeting to the fight that breaks out between them, we end up with a clear portrait of their marriage and what kind of things lay hidden on Revolutionary Road, the things that would lead Frank to think "What the hell kind of a life was this? What in God's name was the point or the meaning or the purpose of a life like this?"
We slowly learn about their lives, about the way that April feels trapped in the suburbs while each day Frank goes off to his joke of a job; making a life in the office where his father toiled certainly begins as a joke, but the joke is in fact on the Wheelers themselves. "By the end of the first year the joke had worn thin, and the inability of others to see the humor of it had become depressing." In fact, the joke seems to be that Frank is becoming quite good at his job. There is a kind of Social Darwinism at work here as Frank starts to move up and in small ways, even to enjoy what he does while April tortures herself over the trap that has fallen over her; when the idea of a saving grace of going away to Europe comes up, she holds to it to keep from drowning, never aware that it is nothing more than a barrel that will roll away from her even as she attempts to hold tighter, for two more people will intersect their lives in ways they don't imagine.
First there is Maureen. She is the young secretary that Frank has an affair with. Here, Yates, with the kind of stark prose that would seem to presage Raymond Carver, narrows in on their coupling without attempting to give it any weight beyond the physicality of need: "With a moist little whimpering groan she turned and pressed herself into his arms, offering up her mouth. Then they were on the couch and the only problem in the world was the bondage of their clothing." Frank later confesses this affair to April who admonishes him, not for having it, but for telling her about it in the first place. But by then John Givings has entered their lives and blown their illusions out of the water. Nothing that has come before can prepare us for John, the mentally damaged son of their real estate agent. His blunt pronouncements is like a sledgehammer against the safe suburban life that April and Frank have cushioned themselves with. At first he is the only one who can relate to their plan to flee to Europe, but after April finds herself pregnant again and the plans are altered, it is John whose assessment, untempered by anything resembling social mores, is all the more brutal for pointing out the hopeless emptiness of their lives and their plan.
So we move towards the finality of their decisions, about their lives, their children, their marriage. You can choose to read the book or see the film, for both provide incredible detail into the minutia of their tragedy, the kind of thing that the suburbs in the fifties were not prepared to handle: "The Revolutionary Hill Estates had not been designed to accommodate a tragedy. Even at night, as if on purpose, the development held no looming shadows and no gaunt silhouettes." This is the shadow of fifties suburbia, the very place that Raymond Chandler's characters would never be able to approach and where Yates' characters could never hope to thrive, for the emptiness is within for Frank and, especially, April.
The Film: Sometimes the Golden Globes actually have a better measure of films than the Academy Awards do. Certainly in 2008, when the Golden Globes nominated Revolutionary Road for Best Picture, Actor and Director and gave it the award for Best Actress, while the Academy could not bother to recognize the film for any of these, the Globes had the better appreciation for a true, haunting film. (This is not the only example of a deserving film to be nominated for Picture and Director at the Globes but to get neither from the Academy: see also The Fisher King, The Age of Innocence, The End of the Affair). And yes, that says true, not truly. For while the Academy felt the need to lavish nominations on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, otherwise known as Forrest Gump II, for the way it casually intersects various historical points without any need for perspective, this film has the true measure of the shadows in suburbia, the things that American Beauty would say about contemporary society, except, using it in a way to burst the illusion of the tranquil prosperity of the Eisenhower Era. It is only appropriate that they are directed by the same man and that the man, Sam Mendes, is not American, but British.
The first part of getting the film right was to get the script right. And it does get the script right, following the book very closely, keeping the dialogue, bouncing back and forth between scenes of romantic seduction and marital difficulties, the joy and the emptiness. It does not skimp out on the other characters, making them come alive properly, giving just the right amount of time to their neighbors and keeping intact the brutal scenes of John, the real estate agent's son who steps into their lives and rips their fragile illusions away by forgetting to have the social amenities to not say what he is thinking.
Then there are the technical aspects and this film is full of brilliant ones. There is the look of the film, and by that, I mean not only the pitch perfect art direction and costumes, the look that automatically defines what era it belongs in, but also makes it come to life; I also mean the cinematography, the shots along the highway, the perfect look at Frank running along the road and that harsh, amazing shot that sums up the entire movie as you are just able to watch those first few drops of blood fall to the floor.
Then there are the performances. The supporting players deserve a mention first because they shouldn't be forgotten. There is a nice ironic touch of casting Zoe Kazan, the granddaughter of the great director, as the young Maureen and she both looks and feels the part. There is Kathy Bates, who can so often be intrusive and annoying, but this time fills that role better than anyone else possibly could. There is Michael Shannon, who actually did manage an Oscar nomination and again, there could be nobody better. For he always feels out of place, seems just out of joint for whatever spot he is standing in and is all the more believable as the brutally frank, John.
And the leads. Oh, the leads. They are the two leads of Titanic, of course, until this week the most successful film ever made. And they came to this twelve years later, with a long friendship now between them and her husband as the director. And they had grown, not only in their craft, but also in their relationship and now were perfect for the roles of Frank and April. There are those who still think of Leo as too young, but he's in his mid thirties now, and Frank is a character that feels younger than he actually is, part of the problem he has with fitting in to the life he has made. And no one would deny that Kate Winslet's performance as April is a masterful, poignant job of acting. She won the Oscar for The Reader, but missed out on the nomination only due to Academy roles. This is the performance she should have won for, perhaps the finest job of acting she has done in an amazing career that has already included 6 Oscar nominations in less than 15 years.

Title: Compass of Affection: Poems New and Selected
Binding: Hardcover
Book Condition: New
Publisher: Paraclete Press (MA) September 2006
ISBN Number:
1557255032 / 9781557255037
Seller ID: 93283
An Eighth Day View:
For Scott Cairns, a poem is not so much a means of expression as it is a way of discovery. It is not so much a document of past experience as it is an occasion for new experience, and the construction of a scene in which the collisions of words and their provocative, generative energies bring about new matter and new vision. Spanning thirty years and including selections from four of his previous five collections, Compass of Affection further enacts the poet's longstanding engagement with language as revelation, and his insistence that poetry be understood less as an expression of what is already known, and more as a way of knowing. Observing these further developments, one comes to suspect that Cairns? poems are no longer to be understood as discussions of theology, but as theology performed.

If it's there, can you use it? While I was putting together the article for Pamela Wells this month, that question presented itself once again. Searching for images of Pamela's writings and products I turned up an interesting set of images that immediately underscored the issues of SOPA and PIPA.
Here comes another of those web dilemmas : who is right? The guys who want to protect U.S. ingenuity and creativity from being ripped off by counterfeiters … or the liberal press and the web sites who stand to make the most money from online pirating? It's a tough decision. Are you for or against SOPA and PIPA? Wait, stop! First look at some facts...
All the protests and hoop-lah have since died down, but the nagging issues of intellectual property rights persist. If you follow some of the designers like Jeff Fisher on Facebook, you see some are very passionate about preserving intellectual property. Others are bantering about "free internet" and "free speech" -- even though it would be difficult, if not impossible, to have both.
The Safenetting article quoted above approached the issue from the viewpoint of security and cyber crime. When something is totally unregulated, it becomes easy prey for exploitation and crime -- as is the internet. If you weren't required to register and have a title for your vehicle, what would happen? If you weren't required to have a driving permit which undeniably identifies you, what would happen?
So, while doing some image searches for the term Goddess, one of Pamela's product keywords, I turned up these two images -- having nothing to do with Pamela Wells -- but quite intriguing nonetheless.
Neither are identified, but it's fairly obvious that someone, a fan of Kristin Kreuk no doubt, found the first image titled "Goddess of Darkness" and put Kristin's head on the Goddess' body. They added a few orbs and those circle devices in the background, but close investigation of the actual detail proves it is indeed the same piece of art.
I did another search in Google, this time for Kristin-Kreuk, attempting to find the face or head that they used. Low and behold, I turned up a number of other knock-offs, including this one from Deviantart that attempts to make Kristin into an Avatar! (ella-grace)
Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, while doing national workshops and seminars on graphic design and desktop publishing I had a segment on digital design online. Quite often I was asked about putting art online and my hard and fast rule was:
Never put anything online unless you are prepared to walk away from it -- because if it's any good at all, it will be ripped off! If it is precious to you, either watermark it so it cannot be used, or don't put it up. Period.
Today, years later, we see some things never change ... just people's attitudes. If it's there, with no identification or credit, does that mean you can use it?
Food for thought ... thanks for reading
Don't forget ... we encourage you to share your discoveries with other readers. Just send and email, contribute your own article, join the Design Cafe forums, or follow DTG on Facebook!

Japanese Academy
1) Profile
I was born and raised in Hawaii. I enjoy meeting and speaking with people from various countries, and in thinking that working with what I like is good for me, I decided on the path to become a Japanese teacher. After graduating college, I gained experience as a part time Japanese lecturer while working as a floor leader in the apparel industry. In 2015, I started working as a teacher at Coto Academy. My parent's house is a temple!
2) Hobbies
Hot yoga (I go 2~3 times a week) and making photo movies.
3) What I want to contribute to students
Foreigners who study Japanese all have different goals. Learning a language is not a simple thing. But you're glad if you can get across what you want to say even a little bit, like "this is delicious" or " this is fun." As Japanese teachers, we help students through that door. Without forgetting to "smile," and by removing the distance between student and teacher with "friendliness," I try to create an environment where learning is fun!

Add $1.46-Million In Retro Pay To Record Del Mar Purses
Del Mar's horsemen earned an extra 10% payment on top of already record-breaking purse payouts as final figures became available for the track's 2012 summer racing season. Meeting Friday, the Thoroughbred Owners of California's board of directors approved the additional payout, which totaled $1,466,532.
Strong betting numbers throughout the 37-day Del Mar meet translated into a record daily average purse payment of $687,000 per afternoon, a solid boost of 9.6% over last year's previous highest-ever daily purse payments of $626,951.
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's executive vice president for finance and chief financial officer, Mike Ernst, echoed Raffetto's comments:
"Good racing is good business," he said. "We had terrific cooperation from our horsemen this summer and it translated into big fields and competitive, entertaining racing. That naturally translates into larger purses for the people who put on the show and this retro payment underscores that reality."
Ernst noted that the additional payment will be tacked on to all 2012 overnight purses earnings and that DMTC would be issuing retro checks toward the end of October.
The track's 75th anniversary season saw robust handle figures virtually across the board during the seven-week session. Its on-track handle climbed by 13.3% to a daily average of $2,364,187 and its Advance Deposit Wagering figures rose by 15.0% to $1,810,215 daily.
Overall, Del Mar's all-sources betting tally increased 6.6%. The final figures showed a total handle of $458,519,873 for a daily average of $12,392,429.
Del Mar's horsemen again responded positively to the track's original "Ship and Win" program in which those who brought in out-of-state horses to race at the meet were rewarded by cash payment and purse bonuses. In its first year in 2011, the program drew and extra 107 horses to the meet to help ease a horse shortage situation. In 2012, that number was boosted to 137 new runners, a 28% increase.
One of the key betting yardsticks at any race meeting – field size – was enhanced for the second year in a row during the summer stand, climbing from 8.4 to 8.7 horses per race. The "Ship and Win" program was surely part of that equation, as was a first-ever race-ready racehorse sale conducted the initial weekend of the season in the track's paddock that saw 25 out-of-state runners sell to local owners and be added to the track's inventory.
Further reflecting the positively charged atmosphere of the seaside summer was the increase in the number of races presented during the 37 days, rising from 323 in 2011 to 328 this year.
Del Mar also set a single-day attendance record of 47,339 for its opening program on July 18, the eighth year in a row it has seen its first-day attendance numbers move upward. Final daily average crowds finished at 17,623, the best per-day numbers by far of any track in the state.

The State Department could have fired two employees over last year's terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, the chairman of the independent panel that investigated the crime told The Hill.
"Our report recommended two people should leave their jobs, nothing more, nothing less," former Ambassador Thomas Pickering, the chairman of the Accountability Review Board, told The Hill in an e-mail.
Asked if that meant firing or reassignment, he said "either," but that it was "up to the Department of State."
"We left open their staying on in the Department," Pickering said.
The department instead announced last month that it has reassigned the two employees, along with two others who were also faulted by the panel but weren't singled out for disciplinary action.
That decision is expected to come under stark criticism next week when the House rekindles its Benghazi investigation following the first anniversary of the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans last Sept. 11.
Pickering's comments mark the first public suggestion that two of them could have been fired as a result of Benghazi. The ARB report, released in December, faulted "systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies" at high levels of the State Department for inadequate security at the U.S. mission.
The ARB stopped short of officially recommending disciplinary action, however, because it lacked the authority to do so absent a finding of "breach of duty." The State Department has repeatedly highlighted that fact to explain its decision not to fire anyone.

text: The company was incorporated in 1932 as Fort Garry Motor Body and Paint Works Limited, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. In 1948 Greyhound Lines of Canada, at that time MCI's major customer, became a majority shareholder. MCI was purchased outright by Greyhound Lines in 1958. In 1962 a new plant was opened in Pembina, North Dakota to increase capacity as Greyhound widened its markets and switched increasingly from GMC to its own in-house products. In 1974 another plant was opened in Roswell, New Mexico under the title Transportation Manufacturing Corporation (TMC) In December 1986, Greyhound was split, with Greyhound Lines being sold to an investor group, and Greyhound Lines of Canada, MCI and TMC remaining part of The Greyhound Corporation, which was renamed Dial, Inc. in 1991. In 1987, Greyhound Corporation bought the bus manufacturing operations of General Motors (GMC). MCI also took over production of GM's RTS model, transferring production to TMC. MCI also purchased the GM bus assembly plant in Saint-Eustache Quebec that produced GM's Canadian transit bus model the Classic. TMC ceased production of the older MCI vehicles in 1990 to concentrate on manufacturing the RTS, and on the "A-Model" intercity coaches. In 1993 MCI became an independent corporation, Motor Coach Industries International Inc. In 1994 MCI merged with DINA S.A. of Mexico, and over the course of the next couple of years developed the Viaggio 1000 DOT for production and sale to the U.S and Canada. In late 1999/2000 the G4100, G4500 and F3500 models were released to the U.S. and Canadian markets under the new MCI Mexico structure. Production of the G4100 and G4500 later moved to Winnipeg and Pembina. TMC, including production rights for the RTS, was sold to NovaBus in 1994. In June 1999, DINA S.A. sold its holding in MCI to JLL Partners, a private equity firm. After a period of falling demand, increased competition and lay-offs in the early 2000s, production at MCI plants in Winnipeg and Pembina, North Dakota increased in 2006, and 130 employees were added. During the early 2000s, MCI consolidated its operations. A facility in Mexico was closed and the Winnipeg site was expanded and modernized. A new coach finishing and paint facility and customer delivery center were constructed on the site. At the same time, a 7-year contract was attained with the IAMAW union local. This agreement contained cost improvements and production operations flexibility to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the manufacturing and assembly operations. The buses, especially the older MC-8 and workhorse MC-9 models of the 1980s became the standard for interstate travel for many bus companies. Those particular buses featured metal frames and roof supports, metal panels on the sides and were extremely durable and reliable. Many of the buses have survived millions of miles of commercial use to be later used as church buses, RVs, and other uses. Currently, the "J" and "D" models are the leading coaches in the North American intercity coach market. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Motor Coach Industries Inc. announced on September 15. 2008, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as part of a restructuring the company says will help shed hundreds of millions of dollars of debt. On Friday, April 17, 2009, Motor Coach Industries Inc. emerged from its voluntary Chapter 11 reorganization. Investment funds managed by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC have now become the majority shareholders of Motor Coach Industries Inc. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_Coach_Industries
