One of the methods we use at Encana to strengthen our overall Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) performance is through consistent service provider prequalification. To assist with this, Encana uses a tool called ISNetworld.
Service providers requiring a subscription are referred to as "ISN Required". These service providers are (generally) individuals and companies who deliver products or perform work at any of our field locations without an Encana escort present. Encana has specific criteria for ISN Required service providers who must maintain a passing grade in ISNetworld to continue working for us. If you are uncertain as to the requirement for a subscription, please contact one of the resources below. Note: Enrollment in ISN and/or meeting Encana eligibility requirements does not imply a guarantee for work.
** Please note: A valid Encana master service agreement (most often MSA or MSSA) is required prior to your ISN account being connected to Encana. Please see the Contracts/Agreements portion of this website for further details.
Once a valid agreement is received by Encana, your ISNetworld account will be connected. Service providers shall have a passing grade
ISN Required service providers will be required to provide the following information in ISNetworld. This list is subject to change and may vary depending on your country of work.
A service provider's ISNetworld grade is based upon the data they provide, as well as the information collected in Encana evaluations and inspections; all of which are measured against Encana's grading criteria. A "C" dashboard grade in ISNetworld is the minimum requirement.
Encana Service Provider Primary Support: Debbie Knight, 720.876.3683
Encana Service Provider Secondary Support: Kimberly Wright, 720.876.5810
ISNetworld Technical Support: 1.800-976.1303
Yes, we looked at a number of factors, including risk and amount of work performed, to determine who needs to complete these requirements. In some very limited circumstances, you may not need a subscription. If you are uncertain as to whether a subscription is required, please contact:
USA and Canadian requirements: Debbie Knight, 720.876.3683
We believe that it is fair to share the cost of demonstrating safety prequalification status with its onsite service providers. The fee is nominal. One fee allows your company to be connected to an unlimited number of clients.
ISN has an entire team dedicated to training and answering service providers' questions. ISN provides unlimited help desk support at no cost, 24 hour online support, and live customer service associates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time.

A "C" dashboard grade is the minimum requirement.
Prequalification tools support communication between producers and service providers, which is key to maintaining strong, respectful working relationships, injury-free worksites and business continuity. They ensure basic requirements are maintained by everyone on our sites before the work begins.
Prequalification helps all of us feel confident in the integrity of our worksites. These tools are common in the natural gas industry in North America, with hundreds of producers and tens of thousands of contractor companies using them to manage their record keeping needs, reduce internal administration costs and improve reporting.
For assistance contact ISNetworld online at www.ISNetworld.com or toll free by phone at 1.800.976.1303.
Encana has identified several advantages to using ISNetworld and is requiring its contractors to use it. We carefully evaluated the implications of requiring our contractors to subscribe to ISNetworld and in so doing learned that this management tool has become increasingly common in the petrochemical, biopharma and manufacturing industries in North America.
After payment is processed by ISN, you will receive login information, allowing you to register for your initial training at www.isnetworld.com. Available training times are viewable online through your ISNetworld account. ISN Customer Service will also contact you to assist with registration. You will need telephone and internet access for this training, which typically lasts one hour.
ISN offers multiple Webcast trainings a day. You have the ability to view available trainings in your account once payment is received. If your desired time is not available, you can contact ISN directly to discuss further options.

I am really excited to show you some products from a fairly new cosmetic line, Purely You Minerals. I was sent these items to review, but of course, all opinions are my own.
Here is the cute package I received as well as some informational pieces:
You know I adore cute packaging!
So, here are the items I was sent to review!
It was awesome because I got to choose what I wanted to sample, the products as well as shades, so I was able to customize my items and get a full face look that I'll show you on the bottom - yes, I like these products so much that I am putting MY FACE on my blog!
First, the eyeshadows:
I love Latte because of it's highlighting potential. I experienced some fallout with both - more on the hand than on the eyelid, because they are loose mineral products. If you're messy, like me, you might want to do your eyes first, then your face makeup.
Next, the gorgeous blush, Purely Pink:
It's a sweet pink! The top swatch shows the color really pressed down onto my skin. The lighter handed swatch, towards the bottom, is how it would look lightly applied.
Next, check out this bronzer! I didn't try the bronzer in my finished look, but it's got a gorgeous sheen!
Doesn't that just glow? Again, the swatch on the right is pressed down and overly pigmented, while the right has a lighter touch to it - still pretty vibrant though. This would need just a light touch, I can tell you already. When you pick it up with your brush, give it a quick tap at the handle to shake off excess, and you'll be left with the perfect amount.
Next, Blushing, the lipgloss has a slight peppermint scent to it, and the color looked much more pigmented in the container than on my lips. It also looked more pigmented on my hand:
For the face, I was sent both the Warm Light and Warm Fair Mineral Foundations. In my look - coming riiight up - I used the Light foundation over regular moisturizer:
Obviously it doesn't go on that thick on the face, but I wanted you to see the color.
The Mineral Veil is also lovely and has a super silky feel to it:
And here is my face!
I used Warm Light Foundation and Translucent Light Silk Veil on my face, with Purely Pink Blush. On my eyes, I have Vanilla Latte under my eyebrow and Dark Chocolate on the lids. Blushing is on my lips. (My mascara is IT Cosmetics, if you're wondering).
I like the finished look! It is much lighter than my usual Taylor Momsen-esque black eye look!
My favorite items are the bronzer and the Vanilla Latte shadow for highlighting.
You can find more about Purely You Minerals on Facebook HERE and on their site HERE!
Thanks for stopping by,

What People Are Saying
Thanks for making it easy to find the cheapest renters insurance. Knowing our stuff is always protected gives me peace of mind.
Matt and Bethany, Charleston SC
Getting an online renters insurance quote can show you just how affordable this form of coverage really can be for your home. Many of us renters have the idea that we can't afford insurance because it's too expensive. And there are even some who think we don't need it because we don't own our homes anyway. Well, neither one of these assumptions is really true. Online insurance is affordable, one of the best deals going in the industry. And tenants need this coverage even if it is not mandated by law because a homeowners or landlords policy does not protect our belongings, nor does it safeguard us against liability concerns. As a renter, you need to have a good policy so that you are ready for whatever life may throw at you. Get an online renters insurance quote and see for yourself. Better yet, get a handful of them and compare prices from leading providers.
Renters Coverage is Not Expensive
In spite of what many of us believe, renters coverage is not expensive. Getting a quote on a policy can quickly confirm this for you if you are unsure. Pick up some free quotes for insuring you in your house or apartment and find out for yourself. It is really quite something to consider how much protection you get for the money, just a few hundred dollars a year or so in most cases. Grab an online renters insurance quote and see what it would cost you to protect you and your family as tenants in your condominium or loft. The premium you pay is well worth it considering how much you get in exchange.
Renters coverage includes both personal liability and personal property insurance. Your online renters insurance quote can show you how much protection you can get in each category including limits of coverage and deductibles for the price you pay. Each provider might have a different idea of what a default policy is, so be careful not to just opt for the cheapest plan until you have compared it against the others to examine the coverage it contains in addition to the price.
Personal property protection takes care of the things you own in case of a covered loss. For example, if your condo was burglarized or sustained damage from a fire, any property losses would be reimbursed less deductible. Your online renters insurance quote will list that deductible along with the limits of coverage for your plan. Make sure to take a close look at that quote from your online provider to see if it matches up with the coverage you thought you were getting. A second look can save you from a big surprise later on when you've already written that check to cover the insurance plan on your condo.
Liability coverage protects household members in covered scenarios when you are held responsible for bodily injury and property damage to others. Again, each liability plan is limited to the maximum benefits listed and the deductibles as well, so look at every quote you're considering and check limits and deductibles. This part can't be overemphasized when it comes to your online renters insurance quote selection, because you're on your own for insuring yourself against these risks.
Landlords Policies Don't Protect Tenants
Your landlord isn't responsible for protecting your things or taking on these personal or family liability issues. Whether you're a student or a senior citizen living on your own, or the head of a large household, you need to address these issues yourself. Your landlords policy does not provide any coverage for you as a tenant, only protection for the physical dwelling and surrounding property. Every online quote you gather for renters insurance becomes that much more important when you realize that this online renters insurance quote represents the only way you can be protected as a renter. This type of policy provides an area of protection you can't get anywhere else, plain and simple. Don't rely on your landlord to take care of something that's really your responsibility anyway. Take care of your own insurance needs and get an online quote.
Get an Online Quote Today
The only way to tell what you'll end up paying for renters coverage is to get quotes from companies licensed to sell in your state. Take advantage of the opportunity to use an online site like this one to gather multiple quotes in one sitting and get the job done. Grabbing an online renters insurance quote is fast and easy. You can get the information you need quickly and efficiently, so that you can make an informed choice and move forward. Get an online renters insurance quote today, or better yet, get several. Take the time to see what the market has to offer.

El Morro is like a fortress and a lighthouse. Today it is no used as either but it is a famous tourist destination. The view of the city from El Morro is legendary and you'll have a great time here. Arrive early at 8:30 AM as the venue opens at 9 AM. It is good to arrive early since when the tour busses come here around 9:30 AM there will be a huge rush.

Voyles named new highway superintendent
Becky Killian, Staff Writer
Rick Voyles will be the county's new highway department superintendent.
The unanimous vote was held during the Tuesday, Nov. 21, meeting of the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
Voyles, who is currently the department's District 1 Road Foreman, attended the meeting. When asked, he accepted the appointment, which is effective Dec. 1.
The position of county highway supervisor was eliminated by a commissioners' vote in January 2016. It was believed the move would lead to a more efficient department and reap cost savings for the county.
When county officials drafted the 2018 budget earlier this year, the superintendent's position was restored.
Commissioners had planned to have a superintendent in place by Jan. 1, but the hiring date was moved up due to concerns about wintry weather.
The county also advertised for a clerical position. Commission President Phillip Marshall said that position will be filled Jan. 1.
The county advertised for the supervisor's position as well as for a clerical position and the application deadline was Oct. 31. Each position is budgeted to pay $40,000 and $30,564 respectively.

Lesson Details
- Levels Taught:
- Beginner, Intermediate
Jason teaches
- Teaches students:
- Ages 7+
- Teaching since:
- September 2005
Music comes from our souls and is an incredibly passionate form of expression. When individuals perform for people, including a teacher, they put their confidence and abilities and imperfections out to be seen. That's why it is important for students to feel safe and confident in their instructor, something you will find in our teacher-student relationship.
I have been teaching acoustic, electric, and bass guitar for 11 years. My passions lie in folk, blues, rock, and indie music, and I love to share that passion with my students in an encouraging and patient environment. Communication is key in a learning environment to ensure that students are working and progressing toward their goals. I have given lessons to students from age 7 through 75, and understand that each student has a unique interest and skill set to be developed. Music would be pretty dull if everyone was the same, wouldn't it?
I have been a singer/songwriter out of the Twin Cities for the past 11 years and have played in venues all over the world. These include coffee shops, events, and churches in Minnesota and go as far as various establishments in Guatemala. My debut album was released in 2007 and I have been a part of numerous projects since that time. I have also had the privilege of taking intensive blues lessons with Michael May and vocal lessons with Helen Lapakko.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a laid back, patient, flexible, and caring teacher. I have experience with and enjoy teaching all ages and abilities. I like to guide students through material that they choose to work on, as long as it is within their ability. During my lessons, I will cover everything from the introductory basics, improving your technical abilities, ear training, theory, and improvisation. Time can also be taken to work through electric guitar basics involving amplifiers and effects and guitar maintenance.
*** Studio Equipment ***
*** Travel Equipment ***
Musical Materials, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Amp, Pedaboard, Metronome
*** Specialties ***
I prefer to teach people starting out in tablature, as I feel that they can more easily access songs in this method. I will, of course, teach them some basic note reading and the fretboard. I feel that learning chords and strumming is a great way to ensure that students feel success as they progress...as they can begin to play simple songs. I play all sorts of music myself, from rock to folk to blues.

Jason was on time, organized and it was easy to follow his instructions.
I am new at guitar, first lesson went well! Looking forward to the next lesson!
Jason is easy-going, reliable and consistent. My son enjoys his lessons and looks forward to them each week. His skills have slowly and steadily been progressing (more practice on his own would surely help his learning speed up). We are thankful to have found Jason.+ Read More
Jason has been providing in-home guitar instructions to one of my children for about 1.5 years. The entire experience has been truly and absolutely fantastic. He has a unique ability to be incredibly flexible in his teaching approach to best accommodate the individual student. Moreover, he's able to modify his approach given the particular circumstances on a particular date (perhaps the child is under the weather, crabby or a bit out of practice). Whatever the situation is, Jason is able to maximize the lesson and everybody leaves with a smile and some musical inspiration. Most importantly, individual lesson goals are consistently achieved and my child always has a clear understanding of what needs to happen before the next lesson (let's call it homework). Jason has been able to light the musical spark in my child and is continuing to provide the tools to get to the next level -- all while having fun. Jason has also fostered my child's musical creativity by supporting and fostering her creations and integrating that creativity into his lesson plans. In short, Jason is the best guitar teacher ever, hence the 5 stars!+ Read More
Jason is very patient. He teaches my 14 yr old guitar and focuses on how my son learns best. He is always flexible with changing lesson times as some times things come up last minute.
My kids just love jason!!
Great intro to guitar.
Jason is an awesome guitar instructor. I am brand new to playing an instrument. He is very patient with me and delivers his instruction in a manner that is easy to understand!
Jason is a very nice and patient teacher for the kid, my son loves the class with him very much. Jason also prepares the class based on the kid's progress, it is really helpful even for kid without any previous guitar experience. Jason also communicates with parents well for any schedule change. I would recommend him if anyone is looking for a guitar teacher.+ Read More
Jason is an accomplished guitarist, and an excellent teacher. He's a down to earth, regular guy who has a gift to share....which he does very well! He takes
time to communicate with me at a level which meets my needs, and is very patient with me. I believe that Jason wants me to improve in my guitar playing skills and knowledge of music theory just as much as I do, and is uniquely gifted to help me. I'm looking forward to on-going lessons with Jason. He's a really good guy, who deserves my highest recommendation.
Playing for the first time in many many years it has been pleasure to work with Jason to bring back all the lost learning.
I refer to myself as Jason's mature student. I'm 71 and can't believe how much Jason is able to teach me. He is very patient and able to help correct my bad habits.
A great teacher.
My son has been taking lessons from Jason for about 9 months, and he LOVES Jason! He is awed by the level of talent Jason has and is inspired by the way Jason teaches him. Lately, Jason has also been working with our son on garage band and composition. We're really liking this also. Professional, flexible, talented - what more could you ask for?+ Read More
Jason is an exceptionally gifted and talented musician, and this applies to his teaching as well. Our son takes lessons from him, and loves his lessons. Jason is able to teach effectively at an age-appropriate level. He is always patient and encouraging. Jason has a passion for the music he plays comes through in each lesson. I highly recommend him as a teacher. If you want the best instruction, get the best instructor. Jason is your guy!+ Read More
Great Teacher
Jason is a great teacher for my 11 year old daughter. His style worked well with a young audience as well as an absolute beginner. The progression of skills and materials seemed perfect for a developing guitar player. I would highly recommend him.
Great teacher!
My 9 year old son has been taking lessons from Jason for the last 4 months. My son enjoys his lessons, practices on his own and is actually sounding pretty good! Jason is very patient and great with him! I definintely would recommend taking lessons from Jason!
My son loves him!
After the very first lesson, my son was enamored with Jason. He's kind, easy going, knowledgable and "cool" according to my 8.5 year old son. I highly recommend Jason as a guitar teacher.
Jason rocks
Jason is amazing teacher. I love his teaching style. He teaches technique while learning a song. Lessons are fun but challenging and he is very patient throughout the process. Would recommend him to anyone
"I love practicing and playing guitar, dad"
That's what my 8 1/2 year old daughter says to me while practicing and after she has finished her lessons with Jason. I couldn't be happier with the lessons he is providing her and her sentiment speaks for itself. Thatâs all I need. If sheâs happy, I'm happy. I see her learning, improving, and having fun after every 30-min lesson. She also wants to practice!!!
Jason has a very easy-going style that connects with my daughter #and many others judging by the other reviews, which I read before selecting Jason# so I would 100% recommend him to anyone searching this site for a qualified guitar teacher for their child or themselves.
Jason rocks!
Jason is a great guitar teacher. He was very patient when teaching our boys. He is easy to talk to and made learning the guitar fun. He also let us know in advance if he needed to reschedule a lesson. We would definitely have Jason as a teacher in the future.
Jason is reliable He started with my daughter on her first lesson and now three years later she has become a good guitar player
She enjoys taking lessons with him and he lets us cancell if needed no problem
Great work.
Jason has been great to work with. And he is amazing at the guitar. Thank you Jason!!
No better way to learn guitar!
My son was introduced to music through his guitar lessons with Jason. He is now on his next instrument and playing some songs by ear. In the words of my son, "he doesn't rush you or make you do more than you can handle, so he is a great teacher".
Wonderful guitar teacher!
Jason has been teaching our son for 3 years and has been a wonderful teacher during that time. He has been supportive, patient and encouraging of our son, even on the weeks he hasn't practiced as much as he should have. Jason is quick to respond when I call and always communicates with me if something comes up. Our son loves playing guitar and has developed a love of the Beatles, thanks to Jason teaching him various Beatles' songs.
Great coach and teacher
I'm on my 4th lesson with Jason and I must say how much I appreciate his style and approach. His gradual method of teaching elements which start to fit together, has been rewarding and satisfying. He has a way of making you feel good with small steps of progress. I've learned to just concentrate on exactly what he tells me each week, trusting that the pieces all have meaning and will fit together in time. I look forward each week to that next challenge. I would recommend Jason to anyone looking for a teacher that will very methodically and patiently modify his teaching to your ambition and desires.
Jason does a great job.
Jason works with our 10 yo son at our home. It is a chaotic environment with 2 kids, 2 cats, 2 adults and one dog. It doesn't even phase him. Our son thinks he is "cool" and actually enjoys practicing. Jason is laid back and easy going.

"At twenty-five," wrote Randolph Bourne in 1913, "I find myself full of the wildest radicalism, and look with dismay at my childhood friends who are already settled down, and have achieved babies and responsibilities."1 In the seven remaining years of his brief life, Bourne's refusal to reconcile himself to convention or existing society, his "wildest radicalism," only deepened. As he steadfastly opposed an immensely destructive war whose futility had not yet registered in Americans' minds, and which most other American intellectuals embraced unreservedly, Bourne's alienation from the established classes became ever more pronounced, as did his longings for radical social transformation. His most famous refrain, "War is the health of the State," meant in Bourne's words that, "We cannot crusade against war without crusading implicitly against the State," for war and state "are inseparably and functionally joined."2
Nevertheless, the radicalism of Randolph Bourne (1886-1918), a student of the philosopher John Dewey who breathed life into Greenwich Village in its bohemian heyday, has often been interpreted as cultural, not political. In the 1940s, Louis Filler wrote that Bourne was "emphatically not political-minded in the strictest sense of the word" but rather a thinker whose "concern was with the American psyche and its moral and cultural manifestations." Max Lerner, likewise, described Bourne as "a sort of amateur at political theory."3 Attempts to view Bourne as a cultural as opposed to a political thinker have been issued in many idioms since — most recently, the postmodern. The reasons for making this distinction between Bourne's cultural philosophy and his political judgments have varied greatly. For mid-century left-liberals like Lerner and Fuller, Bourne was attractive in many ways but needed to be shorn of his most extreme leftism. Postmodernist admirers of his thought today, by contrast, exaggerate irrationalist elements in Bourne and celebrate an extreme cultural radicalism as the most radical form of intellectual activity imaginable. For that reason they are keen to downplay the political radicalism equally implicit in Bourne's writing, which they view as conventional and outmoded.4
Bourne was a moral and cultural radical, to be sure. In the era when intellectual production centered on "little magazines," he and his circle inveighed against sterility in education, the embalmed canon of a "genteel tradition" in letters, and the puritanical and Calvinistic strictures of Victorian culture. Bourne characterized himself as a "literary radical," and his affection for Whitman, Emerson, and Thoreau resonated in the cadences of his prose. Despondent about American shallowness, complacency, and conformity, he touted, in his most heartfelt personal expressions, the romantic ideals of "youth" and "life" as vital resources for the regeneration of democracy.
But Bourne advocated the "wildest radicalism" in political, social, and economic matters, as well. The manifestly cultural features of Bourne's writing and politics should not be used to obscure his deliberate political engagement. Even in a period when the initiative lay with the proponents of change — liberal progressive reformers, woman suffrage activists, middle-class peace advocates, and the Socialist Party of Eugene V. Debs — Bourne came to occupy the most left-lying vantage point existent: a revolutionary and socialist politics centered upon the liberation of labor, in perpetual search of the abolition of state and class.5
As a student at Columbia University, Bourne took part in the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. His prize-winning undergraduate essay "The Doctrine of the Rights of Man as Formulated by Thomas Paine" hailed "modern dynamic Socialism" with its "applied scientific ethics" of social justice and economic democracy.6 For his graduate studies in 1912-13, Bourne turned to the faculty of political science with a major in sociology, having concluded that he needed the foundation in history and philosophy they would provide since these were "intellectual arenas of which the literary professors seemed scandalously ignorant."7 During that year, Bourne roomed with Harry Chase. Like Bourne, Chase had arrived at college relatively late, in his case because of years spent as business editor of the Daily People, the organ of Daniel De Leon's Socialist Labor Party.8
Before the cultural concept of the "transnational" became cardinal in Bourne's writing, it characterized his own political development. His European travels of 1913 and 1914 helped him refine his socialist understanding. Bourne was to have been a delegate to the international socialist congress in Vienna in 1914, but the storm clouds of the coming First World War upset that plan. Nevertheless, while in England he met Fabian gradualists and enjoyed talking with them, though he found their confidence inadequate to a world he thought was changing all too slowly. He professed that he would "welcome any aggressive blow, any sign of impatience with the salvation of society by our self-appointed leaders of church and state." Seeing the rigidities of the British class structure, wrote Bourne, had "immensely strengthened my radicalism." In Italy, Bourne was stirred by a three-day general strike: "The overwhelming expression of social solidarity displayed… made one realize that here were radical classes that had the courage of their convictions." In Paris, likewise, a friend reported that Bourne could be found reading "an extreme socialist newspaper, La Bataille Syndicaliste."9
Bourne's sympathy for revolutionary approaches and syndicalism was even more obvious in his support for the Industrial Workers of the World, a revolutionary trade union movement comprised primarily of unskilled immigrant workers — the most lowly, despised, feared organization in the America of its time. Bourne attended the Madison Square Garden pageant orchestrated by John Reed and others in 1913 in support of the Paterson strikers, and that year he wrote a poem, "Sabotage," which described the deadening subordination of workers to machines until, in the course of rebellion, the workers came to life and restored their primacy over matter. Columbia professor Carl Van Doren recalled Bourne reciting "Sabotage" before the Columbia literary society, which thought it no fit subject for a poem.10 This and other implicit defenses of class war and property destruction in certain instances, including the Soviet revolution in Russia, suggest that "pacifist" is not an exact description for Bourne's philosophy, though he sometimes used that word to describe opponents of the First World War. Violence was for him a last resort, but it was not ruled out categorically.
Bourne identified with the exploited and oppressed not as a result of sentimentality but on the basis of direct experience arising from his physical disability and work history. His face and body disfigured at birth, Bourne struggled from an early age against the stigma of the handicapped, a process he later credited as the wellspring of his "profound sympathy for all who are despised and ignored in the world."11 His conversion to socialism, indeed, came during a conversation in the basement of the New York Public Library with a man in a wheelchair.12 Although accepted by Princeton upon graduation from high school in Bloomfield, New Jersey, in 1903, Bourne instead was compelled to work for six years. The reasons remain obscure, but may possibly be connected to his family's abandonment by his father. His first job was for a manufacturer of perforated music rolls for player pianos who slashed Bourne's piece-rate wages once he became skilled.13 When that business failed, Bourne spent two long, unsuccessful years in New York without secure employment, spurned for his looks, barely eking out a living by giving music lessons in what he later called "the repeated failure even to obtain a chance to fail, the realization that those at home can ill afford to have you idle, the growing dread of encountering people."14
No wonder that Bourne was unusually sensitive to the exploitation and alienation of labor and the desperation and shame of the unemployed. Bourne condemned Columbia University for the poor wages it paid its scrub women, but for him better wages, while necessary, were insufficient, because exploitation was inherent in class relations. He witnessed "with my own eyes in Scranton and Gary and Pittsburgh the way workers live, not in crises of industrial war but in brimming times of peace."15 He characterized anti-trust initiatives as "absurd," for corporate rule would not be affected by liberal reform.16 Common ownership and a stateless society, he held, were necessary to disposing of surplus value justly: "As long…as the employer is entrenched in property rights with the armed state behind him, the power will be his, and the class that does the diverting will not be labor."17
It has often been said that Bourne's radicalism was not precisely Marxist, but it is more accurate to say that his radicalism was syncretic and heterodox, drawing freely upon revolutionary Marxist theory just as it was sustained by left-wing Deweyan pragmatism and Whitmanesque democracy. Bourne was estranged from most liberals and many social democrats, including those at his erstwhile vehicle, the New Republic, as a result of his principled and sharp criticism of them for throwing their support to the First World War. By the end of the war, when Bourne was isolated and hounded and penniless, practically the only hope and inspiration he drew was from the newborn revolution in Russia. Critics of the First World War, he wrote, "are skeptical of this war professedly for political democracy, because at home they have seen so little democracy where industrial slaves are rampant. They see the inspiring struggle in the international class-struggle, not in the struggles of imperialist nations. To Russia, the socialist state, not to America who has taken a place on old ground—do they look for realization of their ideal."18
That concluding sentence, of course, was uttered at the beginning of a century in which socialists would see their idealism shattered by developments in the Soviet Union. How would this early enthusiasm have played out across the twentieth century? Bourne's heterodox socialism and valuation of personal expression could not be easily squared with Stalinism. It is unlikely that he would have traded the pressure to conform that he so resented in family and polite opinion for a debased version of radical politics as martial discipline and dogma. His syndicalist musings suggest that that he would have sided with working-class uprisings against the bureaucratic Communist states such as in Hungary in 1956 or Poland in 1980-1981—and would likewise have resisted the neoliberal market rapture that followed upon the collapse of those regimes in 1989. All of that is, however, speculation, and impossible to determine because of Bourne's death at age 32 in the 1818 influenza epidemic spawned by the war he opposed. We can say with assurance that Bourne's radicalism was unorthodox and iconoclastic, as one might imagine in someone whose course of radical study started with the single-taxer Henry George.19
One of Bourne's most important radical insights came when defining the relationship of intellectuals to social movements. In warning against an "intellectual radicalism… afraid to be itself," Bourne insisted upon uncompromisingly critical thought: "Intellectual radicalism should not mean repeating stale dogmas of Marxism. It should not mean 'the study of socialism.' It had better mean a restless, controversial criticism of current ideas, and a hammering out of some clear-sighted philosophy that shall be this pillar of fire."20 This passage may have been inspired by the negative example of the Socialist Labor Party to which he had been exposed by Harry Chase, or by the orthodox social democrats present in the Socialist Party of America, who recited Marx in letter while acting as reformists in practice. Both were likely to have seemed barren to Bourne, guided as he was by the experimental ethic essential to pragmatism in its philosophical, rather than vernacular, expression.
In the course of this rousing exposition on the merit of both relentless intellectual independence and ardent commitment to labor and socialism, Bourne drew, however, a disconcerting conclusion:
The only way by which middle-class radicalism can serve is by being fiercely and concentratedly intellectual.… The labor movement in this country needs a philosophy, a literature, a constructive socialist analysis and criticism of industrial relations.… Labor will scarcely do this thinking for itself.21
"Labor will scarcely do this thinking for itself": Bourne's unconscious replication of class society's bifurcation of labor and thought, so at odds with the rest of his oeuvre, carried no small danger of elitism. Bourne was astute to counsel intellectuals to reject dogma, to be ready to quarrel and ask uncomfortable questions, to remain ever open to new experience, and never to suspend their critical faculties. But his celebration of intellectual malcontents was marred by this moment of condescension toward the very underdog classes whose cause he considered his own. Bourne, despite his admiration for the revolutionary proletariat, failed here to consider the accumulated insights of rank-and-file workers as one of the experiences to which intellectuals must remain open.22
This invites another uncertain speculation. The "revolutionary proletariat" was in Bourne's judgment the most consistent resister of the state. Would Bourne have remained committed to the labor movement once it turned more conservative in the latter half of the twentieth century? In the decades after the Second World War, many intellectuals came to think that the "labor question" did not have the same centrality as a social issue as it did between 1877 and 1945. Not only was the labor movement quiescent, but during the Cold War, Vietnam War, and subsequent engagements a sizeable section of the U.S. working class, including the union officialdom, lent support to military interventions by the U.S. state and evinced conservatism on a number of social issues, such as racial justice. This surely would have required Bourne to rethink his positioning of workers as the most likely source of resistance to patriotic state-worship.
On the whole, nevertheless, Bourne's imagination was profoundly democratic, seeking renewal from below. In his unfinished essay on "The State," he distinguished poetically between three principal political agents: the people, or nation; the innocuous, routine government; and the State, a militaristic, repressive, belligerent, coercive instrument of the ruling class. He favored the nation against the State, for the State, in his view, thwarted the people. This essay, written almost simultaneously to (and in ignorance of) Lenin's State and Revolution (1917), used a different vocabulary, one that therefore might not be considered "scientific" by Marxists only a short while later. His analysis, however, was not without its compatibilities with Lenin's revolutionary objection to the state because of its class character. Bourne, moreover, was no mystic of "the people." He insightfully identified a "herd instinct" of state worship rooted in the very same "gregarious impulse" that inspires social solidarity.23
Bringing Bourne's eclectic left-wing socialism back into focus is not only important to restoring his politics; it is also essential to our understanding of his cultural project. It is, for example, fruitful to read "Trans-National America" and its ideal of a "weaving back and forth, with the other lands, of many threads of all sizes and colors" as an echo of the longstanding socialist ideal of international solidarity forsaken in Europe's rush to war.24 Despite the essay's disappointing failure to address race, that paramount problem in American life, Bourne's ringing salute to cosmopolitan democracy as the antidote to bigotry makes his essay now seem not only a celebration of American heterogeneity but a model for imagining alternatives to ethnoracial conflicts inside nations the world over, such as those between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs, Sudanese Muslims and black Africans, Russians and Chechens, French citizens and Arab immigrants, or Germans and Turks.
Likewise, Bourne's criticism of the university was not solely on educational grounds (the dry lecture system, elevation of sports over scholarship, the lifeless canon) or even narrowly political grounds (Columbia's dismissal of two professors critical of the First World War). Bourne's objection was a systemic one of antipathy to capitalism's distortion of learning. Bourne was one of the first to object to the transformation of the university into "a private commercial corporation" producing "the academic commodity" under the control of trustees drawn from the ruling class. His "ideal solution" was public ownership of the universities, "with control vested in the 'guild' of professors."25
Even his famous war essays were illuminated by a public-minded, socialist vision placing socialization above capitalism and egoistic individualism, as when, in "A Moral Equivalent for Universal Military Service" (1916), Bourne proposed, instead of a military draft, that young Americans undergo a mandatory phase of public service in health, conservation, agriculture, regulatory inspection, and childrearing — a social alternative to military "preparedness." Here, as in his educational theory, we can see that it is an error to claim Bourne for anarchism or libertarianism. Notwithstanding his urge to overthrow the State, he often suggested policy solutions, underscoring the importance of his distinction between state and government. A policy of universal social obligation that would seem statist and coercive to anarchists was acceptable to Bourne by virtue of his public outlook and the policy's merely temporary duration in the life of young people.
Again, the point is not that there is a political "side" of Bourne that ought to be emphasized. The point is that his thought cannot be compartmentalized — literary here, political there. Bourne's lyricism and social philosophy place him in a tradition of writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, and George Orwell who, no matter how great their cultural attainments, would not have wanted their political contributions belittled or their stylistic virtuosity constricted to overly narrow classifications of "cultural radicalism."
Both the Greenwich Village atmosphere of youthful experimentation and revolt and the worldwide workers' rebellion that exploded toward the end of the second decade of the twentieth century were implicit in Bourne's refusal to put his finger to the wind before speaking fresh and vital truths. Idealism, aestheticism, feminism, friendship, music, reading, and impassioned discussion were for Bourne social ideals, as reflected in his judgment that all great art was ethical, imbued with religion and politics. When we recapture the Bourne who emphasized "social consciousness," "human progress," and "the bringing of a fuller, richer life to more people on this earth" as against "that poisonous counsel of timidity and distrust of human ideals which pours out in steady stream from reactionary press and pulpit" — words that still have bite in our own epoch of Fox News and greed-condoning mega-churches — then we will have gone some way toward ensuring that the ghost of Bourne still giggles down our streets.26

They come to your vehicle and refuse to work unless you pay first and at a much higher rate than originally quoted. So how do you protect yourself from this type of crime. Regardless of whether you found the locksmith listed in the local paper or google search you should have the operator verify their business address, if they cannot do so then move on to the next locksmith. Locksmiths have numerous job opportunities in this line of work. If you have the desire to become a locksmith, a trade school is a good option for learning the trade. Locksmiths work both at home and specialize in making keys, changing locks, installing locks and designing new types of locks. Locksmiths are indeed your number one defense against thieves and lock pickers. Yes, it'd sound old, but locksmiths build the most powerful locks on your doors so you never have to stress about thieves at night when you are sleeping or traveling.
A locksmith is a skilled trade that involves metal working, lock picking and certain skills acquired over time. In New York City, in order to provide lockout services or open a locked door, you have to be a licensed locksmith. The agency that issues a license is the Department of Consumer Affairs They go through their own channels to verify that a potential locksmith candidate is not a felon. In addition, in order to get a locksmith license in the City of New York, two currently licensed locksmiths in good standing must vouch for you. A few tips for the locksmith that decides to work those graveyard hours. After midnight hours could be very unsafe at times for both the locksmiths and the customers.
Emergency Does Happen Since emergency situations are inescapable, Locksmith Company San Diego paves its way to your very location. All of these tools help the locksmith in getting the job done in a timely manner. Drilling is the most common method used by locksmiths in Toronto, and is the only method that can be used in cases of burglary attempts, malfunctioning locks or damaged locks. In observational attacks, the drill hole allows the safecracker to view the internal state of the combination lock. That night, the house of the boaster neighbour who depended too much on home alarms was robbed while the house owner with strong locks was safe. I learned tons because of that incident. While observing the lock, the locksmith in Toronto manipulates the dial to align the lock gates so that the fence falls and the bolt is disengaged.
I'm not condoning the modern security alarms today, but with all those electronic alarms advertised by the greedy market of today, you can never be too sure. It may sound standard, but a strong and strong lock has protected my granddad's home for generations. Locksmiths can still be obtained today and all you have to do is call them. Of course, they deserve to be called the best among all locksmith service providers. It simply means that when you are with Locksmith El Cajon, you need not worry at all about the safety and security problems of your house, office or vehicles. Locksmith El Cajon not only provides variety of services with quality and but also target at offering locksmith services in the specified time. It uses innovative techniques and equipment to produce durable and dependable products.
A lot of it comes down to discretionary measures and straight up common sense. Locksmith El Cajon: Ensuring Lock And Key Security Measures In A Very Prompt Manner Locksmith El Cajon is a well recognized locksmith firm having a team of professional locksmiths. Most of the time lockouts happen during non-traditional business hours. I got into the trade in my early twenties. I was strictly working in the office where I was dispatching and taking calls and things of that nature. To drill a safe with a glass relocker, side, top, or rear drilling may be necessary. Many modern high-security safes also incorporate thermal relockers in conjunction with glass-based relockers (usually a fusible link as part of the relocker cabling), which also activate when the temperature of a safe exceeds a certain level as a defense against torches and thermal lances.

It's looking more and more likely these days that Apple will indeed make its own smartwatch, unofficially dubbed the "iWatch."
Just last week, an Apple patent filing surfaced describing a device that conforms to your wrist with a flexible display.
But the biggest problem Apple faces isn't the flexible display, Wired's Christina Bonnington reports. Instead, it comes down to durability.
"Wrist watches are subject to different types of abuse and wear, and there is a tendency for customers to refrain from wearing overly worn-looking watches," watch expert and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams told Wired. "Apple will need to use materials and durability standards well out of their comfort zone in order to make an iWatch more than a wrist novelty for a few weeks."
Since the device would be worn on your wrist, issues like shock, water, sweat, and general wear and tear come to mind, Bonnington writes.
Even though Apple doesn't have much experience in the watch space, it could borrow some notes from Jawbone's playbook, as the company has already figured out how to tackle water and sweat issues with its UP fitness tracker.
But another challenge with the iWatch, Adams tells Wired, is personalization.
"Apple needs the iWatch to be just as aspirational as the iPhone," Adams told Wired. "That means a solid conservative style for adults, and a level of quality that doesn't make it feel like a toy with a colorful strap."

How To Build Your Own Upper-Body Workouts
A lot of women love to train legs but aren't quite sure how to train their upper body. Learn how to build amazing workouts for your arms, shoulders, back, and chest from Jamie Eason!
Upper-body training is important for everyone, but many women seem to feel more comfortable doing leg exercises. You may feel that your legs need all the work, but if you want a balanced physique that's all-over strong, you need to take a break from working your lower body and whip up some awesome upper-body workouts!
Just because your lower body may not look as great as you want it to doesn't mean you should ignore the other half. In fact, rounder, sculpted shoulders and great-looking arms only come from building muscles in your upper body, and they'll go a long way toward making you look great in any outfit. Plus, a great upper-body will also make your waist look smaller. Who doesn't love that?
If you want to start working on your upper body, there are a number of great ways to implement specific upper-body work into your training program. (Of course, if you need a complete training program, just check out my LiveFit Trainer!

Depending on your goal and your preferred training styles, you can organize your workouts in a variety of ways. Let's start with the exercises themselves. There are hundreds of upper-body exercises, but here are some of my favorites for each body part:
If you have other favorite exercises, you can definitely include them in your workout; the exercises above are just suggestions. Once you have your favorite exercises in mind, you can start to build your workouts.
Organizing Your Workouts
Before we get into how to build your workouts, there are a few upper-body training rules you should know.
- Unless you're doing a "chest day," perform more pulling exercises than pushing exercises as a general rule. Why? Because most people's shoulders roll forward and in. The best way to combat that is through back training!
- Biceps and triceps exercises should never make up the majority of your upper-body work. In fact, those tiny muscle groups should make up maybe a quarter of your upper-body workouts. Your chest, back, and shoulder girdle are bigger muscle groups that, when trained, will have the biggest impact on your physique.
- Include upper-body training into your workout regimen at least twice per week.
Now that you know the rules, here are some fun ways to organize your workouts!
I really enjoy circuit workouts because I get the conditioning I need without having to do much extra cardio. To do a circuit, choose about five exercises (1-2 from each list) and perform them, one after the other, without rest. I always suggest somewhere between 8-12 reps per exercise and 2-4 roundstotal, depending on your initial fitness level.
Because you're doing five exercises in a row, you may have to use a lighter weight than you're accustomed to. Remember, you don't rest between exercises, but you should rest between rounds for 1-2 minutes. If you create more than one circuit, make sure you're training your body evenly and selecting exercises for each major muscle group.
Perform 2-4 rounds
Incline Dumbbell Bench Press8-12 reps
Dumbbell Row8-12 reps
Front Dumbbell Raise8-12 reps
Alternating Biceps Curl8-12 reps
Dumbbell overhead triceps press8-12 reps
Straight Sets
Straight sets are easy to organize and are usually the best choice if you're a beginner. To do them, perform all the sets of one exercise before moving on to the next. The best upper-body workouts structured this way are typically those that have a particular focus. So, if your shoulders are a weakness, start with a heavier shoulder exercise before progressing to lighter isolation exercises.
Lat pull-down
For the most muscle-building power, do 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps of each exercise, and rest 1-2 minutes between sets. Because you get so much rest, you should be using a challenging weight that pushes your limits in that rep range. If you want to decrease the rest to keep your heart rate more elevated, rest 30-60 seconds between sets.
If you want to focus on strength, choose a compound movement like the bench press, push press, or pull-up to start your workout. Do fewer reps, and focus on moving as much weight as you can.
Push Press3-4 sets of 5-8 reps
45-degree Lying Lateral Raise3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Front Dumbbell Raise3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Cable Fly3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Lat Pull-down3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Concentration Curl3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Triceps Push-down3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
If you've been in the gym awhile, you're probably familiar with supersets. To do a superset, perform two exercises, one after the other, without rest. The trick with supersets, though, is to perform antagonist exercises, or exercises that work opposing muscle groups.
For example, you can pair a chest and back exercise or a biceps and triceps exercise to get the most out of this technique. Supersets are great because they add intensity to your workouts and allow you to train two body parts at the same time without completely exhausting them. That means you can reach for that heavy dumbbell!
Wide-grip Push-up
Aim for that 8-12 rep range, and rest 1-2 minutes between supersets. Complete all rounds of one superset before moving on to the next pair of exercises.
If you want to add some strength work to this type of workout, choose a compound movement like the bench press or push press, and do a few straight, heavy sets of that exercise before beginning your supersets.
Wide-grip Push-up2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Pull-up2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Dumbbell Fly2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Narrow-Grip Lat Pull-down2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Dumbbell Shoulder Press2-3 sets of 8-12 reps
Dumbbell Row8-12 reps
EZ-Bar Curl2-3 sets of 8-12 reps
Dip2-3 sets of 8-12 reps
Compound Sets
Compound sets are similar to supersets, but instead of training opposing muscle groups, you'll pair exercises that work the same muscle group. Doing two exercises that train the same muscle group is a great way to add some spice to your workouts. Not only will your muscles feel totally exhausted after just a few sets, but your spiked heart rate will help you burn even more calories.
As with all of the other workout types, aim for 2-4 sets of 8-12 reps. Because these sets are so intense, you may have to lighten the load a little bit in order to reach all of the reps, especially on those later sets. Rest 1-2 minutes between compound sets.
In this case, you can pair a multijoint exercise with a single-joint, a heavy exercise with a bodyweight exercise, or even a machine with barbells or dumbbells. Many people like to start with a heavy exercise and then hit the same muscle group with a lighter follow-up, but the choices are endless and will dependent on your goals.
Compound set
Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Pull-up (or assisted pull-up)2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Compound set
Rear-Delt Raise2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Shoulder Press2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Compound set
Arnold Press2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Cable Fly2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Compound set
Rope cable curl2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Incline Curl2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Compound set
Skullcrusher2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
Triceps Push-down2-4 sets of 8-12 reps
What's Next?
The only thing left to do now is start! Choose one of these sample workouts, and hit the gym. Once you feel comfortable with the types of workouts you like, you can start building your own. Just follow the templates, and don't be afraid to experiment!
When you're really feeling confident with the basics, you can add other techniques to these upper-body workouts such as dropsets, in which you lift to failure, immediately drop the weight by 20-25 percent, and lift to failure again; one-minute cardio bursts between exercises; or even some glute or ab training between sets or after your sessions if you need to hit your weaknesses a little more.

It must have been a future CEO who first looked at the public education system and thought, "There's a way to make money here, I can feel it…"
The privatization and commercialization of education to create a profit generating system is ludicrous. It is now a fact that children in public schools are being targeted while in school by marketing companies to increase corporate and school revenue. In addition, "both educators and corporate managers are attending conferences to learn how to increase revenue from in-school marketing for their schools and companies" (Spring 211). Not only are children being targeted for physical advertisements, but they are also being persuaded to offer personal information so advertising companies can tailor their product to individual students. It is unclear if students are being guided by educators; however, it is fact that "students in classrooms are being offered incentives to enter personal data – names, addresses, information on personal habits – which will then be sold to advertisers" (Spring 211). This is a huge problem; it is a form of exploitation of our youth; for advertising companies and most especially school systems to target youth while they are attending a mandatory public institution leaves the students no choice as to the solicitations to which they are exposed. We are bombarding our youth with image and money; this is what we are teaching them, and we are selling them short.
The privatization of schools to create for profit systems is another large scale problem. The union report perhaps says it best: "Education is not simply another economic good or service. The learning of a nation's children is of concern to the entire nation. And while business can and should play a role in education, communities and the school boards that represent them must retain control over the future of America's public schools " (Spring 204). Education cannot be reduced to a consumer good; this takes the focus off the education of the students and places money at the heart of the matter. When profit is the primary concern, consumers are bound to lose. If we consider the idea of a school system as a business, education as the output (product), money the mover, and student the consumers, just as corporations take shortcuts in production and regulation, so would the students find their education replete with cheap substitutions and gaping holes. When it comes to corporate style business, what is less expensive wins, and it is at this cost that the consumer often loses.
On the other side of the debate, however, we have the words of Michael J. Connelly, chief executive officer of Mosaica Education (a major for-profit education company): "There are people who don't believe there is role for private business in public education. And for those people, we are going to get the word out that we are not Beelzebubs. This is not a satanic plot to destroy public education" (Spring 203). This is very strong speech for one who feels he is not guilty of anything but enterprise. To use the biblical words of "Beelzebub" and "satanic" creates a strong emotion in the reader, and leaves an immediate impression. His speech is too caustic and focused on the defense of Mosaica to convince the reader that the company places education at the forefront of their mission. It would seem, almost, that Mr. Connelly's largest concern is defending the profit made with private education, and not proving how private education can benefit students and community.
The final issue I'd like to touch upon involves private education companies and the No Child Left Behind Act. In accordance with NCLB, failing schools must be completely restructured. Any state can choose to establish a working relationship with a for profit private education company to provide education services under NCLB. This essentially means "that profits earned (by private companies)… will come from the federal government" (Spring 206). In 1992, the states of Massachusetts and Colorado took a step further and passed "'charter school' laws that permit states and school systems to award contracts to… private contractors" (Spring 206). This is a huge problem. Whether or not the average taxpayer agrees with for profit charter schooling, our tax dollars will be going to private education companies' bottom lines. This means that private companies are essentially allowed to make a profit off government money, our tax dollars.
The privatization and commercialization of public schools is a topic to keep at the peak of the education debate. The quality of the education of our future generations depends upon good decisions being made at the political level. It's a damn good thing Michael J. Connelly is no Beelzebub, or America might have something to worry about.
