tallman1 Posts: 1,874We were impressed when we visited Colorado Springs on vacation last month. Little Manitou Springs next door was unique too. Still pretty close to Denver if you need the big city once in awhile.
My wife is ready to move there when the kids are gone in a couple of years... I'm trying to keep my western WA heels dug in though. -
kernick Posts: 4,072A few years back I read about Mesquite, NV which is on the Utah border right off I-15. I stopped there on the way to Zion for a few hours, and it seemed nice enough; though it's economy is based around a few casinos and tourism in general. It was also supposed to be a retirement destination as it's a few degrees cooler than Vegas. Current pop. is around 20K.
Good to rent in a new area, before buying! That probably applies to vehicles also. I recently rented a mid-size Dodge, that I can't even remember it's name. 1 day was enough with that appliance. -
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 43,040My wife had family in Carson City for a few years and we always enjoyed visiting down there. Tahoe was just over the hill and you could hit the shows in Reno but the pace was calmer.
Where we are visiting right now, the rental situation is woeful unfortunately. Maybe a lease/purchase would work out though.Moderator

hpmctorque Posts: 4,358Hey, good point right about the fuel mileage. As for the fall foliage, yeah, sort of, but there's better. Parts of Wisconsin have absolutely gorgeous colors in October. I've never been to Vermont when the leaves change colors, but I highly recommend south central Wisconsin in the fall. The numerous pristine lakes and hills just add to the beautiful.
One of these Octobers I want to go to Vermont. It's been on my "places to see" list for years, but I just haven't done it. -
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 43,040I actually lived in Wisconsin for about six months back in the 80's. Loved the fish fries and the farmer's markets. And the brats. Used to have a Bucky Badger sticker on my old Tercel too. :shades:
After hitting all the states, all the territories and provinces in Canada (except Nunavut - that's still on my bucket list), and around half the Mexican states, I think I'd be pretty happy living most anywhere. Lots of great spots all over North America.Moderator

stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 43,040The only time I drove down there I was in a rental Neon in northern Baja. Almost got stuck in deep sand taking a shortcut across a dry lake bed.
You can get anywhere down there on a bus or cab, for cheap. We'd rarely wait more than 10 or 15 minutes to catch a bus to the next town.Moderator

euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,354Additional reasons for considering Vancouver, WA is knowing how much you snowboard. Mt. Hood's Timberline, Hood Meadows, & Ski Bowl are just across the creek & up the hill. In other months the Columbia is great for boating. East Vancouver residence is close to the Glen Jackson Bridge leading to the airport. I know you like to pay taxes, but they can be considerably more in OR. The moderate climate includes showers, but rain you don't have to shovel.
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 43,040Looks like the Viva Las Vegas outfit.
How's the damp in Vancouver? We've only driven through there a few times but never really explored the city. My wife had trouble the summer she lived on Vashon Island and keeps steering me away from coastal WA and OR.Moderator

fintail Posts: 34,745I think the Palouse region has fairly ideal weather, and isn't a bad place if one is nearing or at retirement. Not as dusty and gang-infested as the Columbia Basin (although not all of it is bad), slightly milder weather too, cheap housing, 4 actual seasons - not 10 months of mist and fog + 2 months of what is admittedly the best summer weather in the country, and even some decent roads. I'll be heading over there in about a month to visit people, should be a nice drive.
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,450
fintail Posts: 34,745OK, maybe three months. I remember in my youth anyway the snow would come and go. And a key difference is 3" of snow there doesn't create armageddon like it does west of the mountains. I spent part of my childhood on the other side, and I do miss the fun winters, and lack of rain. I like the scenery too.
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,450that sounds extreme to me!
Maybe that's what I was trying to say---that the weather on the Central CAL coast or the Colorado Front Range is constantly "variable". No one condition just digs in and stays there day after day after day.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,450Highly over-rated, especially the "season" called winter. Oh, it's nice when you're skiiing and all that, but living in it in Vermont? No thanks. And having a fire hose turned on your windows in Seattle for 3 months is another season I can do without.

fezo Posts: 9,600I could do without winter and not mind it even one little bit.
I do like looking at snow but am far too old to be shoveling it, thanks.
I lived in Tallahassee for a year. That agreed pretty well with me - though Florida rain is like no other. If we get an inch in a day that's rainly. In Florida an inch of rain is partly cloudy. -
hpmctorque Posts: 4,358
fezo Posts: 9,600Family and friends keep me here in Jersey. I'm within a couple of hours of everybody.
Other things enter into it. With my health I can't live too far away from really good medical facilities which rules out, say, the Outer Banks where the only hospital has 19 beds and the good places are three hours away.
I'm not to where I have to pay in advance for a three minute egg or anything but I'm higher maintenance than most.

quote:Tom Cruise is a perfect example of that for me.
quote:He was better in those three roles than in almost anything since, possibly excepting Magnolia and Tropic Thunder. BUT, he made a number of entertaining movies along the way.
quote:But then, it just goes off the rails on a crazy train - Pike "senses" something, and ultimately puts Kirk in command? WTF? So, now he jumps from newly commissioned ensign to O-6, without spending any significant time learning the job?
quote:I agree with this entirely. I don't care how good he was as a temporary Captain. There is a track in any military organization and he would have to be on it that to see promotion. He certainly couldnt go from O-1 to O-6 in a matter of a few days. The only angle I can think of was Nero devastated the fleet and there were a shite ton of battle field promotions (much like World War 2 when are armed forces suddenly expanded to millions of men and suddenly you had a shite ton of very young Generals). Beyond that though I really thought JJ did a good job with capture the spirit of the Original Trek. Then again I was never much of a fan of anything past TNG...

quote:I love The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country
quote:I tried to see the intact characters in 2009, but all I found were 1-note jokes, unrecognizable "origin of" stories and big-budget special effects. It is a very pretty film, but beyond that - not Star Trek.

quote:WTF....? This thread is still going?!?!

quote:Mine isn't even a reboot. I didn't really like any of the X-men movies except for First Class. I've read X-men since I was 11 and, to me, Singers film's were garbage. He dropped the ball on so many of the characters. Cyclops being the main victim. X2 was ok, but if I'm being honest, I just didn't like it. I get why others like 1 and 2 though.
quote:Was terrible. Instead of it portraying how badly Kirk doesn't believe in no win scenarios, it was basically him acting like a punk and sticking it to Starfleet.

With aging, a woman's breasts lose fat, tissue, and mammary glands. This causes a reduction in the size and firmness of the breasts. Many of these changes are due to the decrease of in the body's production of estrogen that occurs at menopause. Without estrogen, the gland tissue shrinks making the breasts smaller and less full. The connective tissue that support that support the breasts dries out so the breasts sag.
Changes also occur to in the nipple. The area surrounding the nipple (the areola) becomes smaller and may nearly disappear and the nipple may turn in slightly.
Lumps are common around the time of menopause. These are often noncancerous cysts. However, if you notice a lump, make an appointment with your health care provider because breast cancer risk increases with age. Women should be aware of the benefits and limitations of breast self-exams. These exams do not always pick up early stages of breast cancer. Women should talk to their health care providers about mammograms.

quote:Is tipping primarily a learned behavior?
quote:i think it just boils down to people being good and bad tippers. my uncle is filthy rich and is the nicest guy but is seriously the worst tipper i've ever seen.
quote:maybe a mentality of the servers are beneath him?

quote:After we kept giving him shite he changed his story to "I knew y'all were all tipping good, so I didn't think I needed to."
quote: I'm not tipping 18 or 20% for shitty service
quote:About 3 years ago a few of us were going to walkons. I was the only one 21 and I knew one of the bartenders well. Walked up to her and asked if she could take care of my 3 friends. Of course she says yes. We each have 6-8 beers and a couple shots then all close our tabs. I was broke at that time in my life and left 20-25%. As did my other friends, except one. My friend (the bartender) comes to me and says "tell your friend to go frick himself with his 50 cent tip on a 30$ ticket." We all gave him shite and he said "her job is a joke, she doesn't need to be tipped much." After we kept giving him shite he changed his story to "I knew y'all were all tipping good, so I didn't think I needed to." Ever since that time me and said friend speak once or twice a year. Pissed me off. Moral of the story, some people just fricking suck at tipping and it will never change.
quote:People who don't tip well are bad people. They are selfish and cheap which says a lot about them.

-----------------------------------------On The Other Side: The Adventures Of Ustream-Bot
Chapter 1
Back in the turn of the century, approximately around December, Ulysses and I used to hang out all the time. We would drink together, Sprite usually. I noticed that the same kid would drive by always on the same bike. Left foot moved first, followed immediately by the right. The birds chirped in a rather annoying and unpleasant manner.
Back during the Vietnam War; he said he'd never seen so many bloody children in his life. Not even in the movies. Not even in the movies... And yet, over there, bodies lay like decayed logs, with moss growing on the side and small insects crawling on the other side.
"Back in 'Nam,'" he would say. "I killed women and children. They don't prepare you for this in the army. They just don't. How can they? They just can't. But you just gotta. Those damn Commies. If you didn't get them first... They would get you."
I used to listen intently. I watched him as he lifted the glass; pools of water forming around the base, gripping onto the base of the glass, holding on with reckless abandon, as if they had no other concerns. They didn't. But he did. Just by looking. His eyes; you could see. You could see everything. The fire, the gas, the blood. Bullets flying everywhere, penetrating the air, piercing the flesh, never to be seen again. He sighed with a sort of anxiety, but you could see he wasn't anxious. He was always waiting, waiting for the next thing to happen, but then, Reagan ended the Cold War, and the next thing never came. How could it? He never had a chance.
The bartender glanced in our direction and inquired if another drink would be preferred. He shook his head, not because he didn't want one, but because he... He could see the children staring back in the glass, with their unfulfilled eyes, full of hopelessness and despair. They floated around aimlessly in his drinks, popping every once in a while, rising to the top if they were at the bottom. Others remained in place, preferring to be stationary. They didn't see the point of moving because they couldn't. Not anymore, and he knew, oh he knew, but he couldn't face them. Not now.
The next day, I saw the same kid, on the same bike, pedaling with the same, rhythmic motion. Everything was always the same, but at the same time, it was different, at least compared to before. The times were changing; his grey hairs were proof. He refused to believe the proof, however. It wasn't enough for him. That time lost, over there, on the other side. They lost time too, don't get me wrong, but he had to live with his lost time. He stared back at me as I entered the bar, his glasses reflecting nothing but light. He turned back, but not toward the drink. He lifted the glass and closed his eyes, and down the drink went, bitter and cold, with the ice holding fast to the base. It refused to surrender itself to the force of gravity. I couldn't, however. I had to bear it. He evidently had to as well, but he hid it better. It was like it didn't even matter to him, at least, I think it didn't. One couldn't be too sure these days. Men in suits hid everywhere. You could turn your head and see them peering from around the corner. Their suits were black, and their victims were already dead. He set the glass down, this time it was slightly to the left. A new circle formed, but this time, the volume of the water was significantly lower. The light hanging above vibrated slightly. Soft music played in the background.
"You know," he said. "I used to be somebody, over there on the other side. Me and my buddies, though metal shells were everywhere, we were doing something. Something meaningful. But now..."
He trailed off, then cleared his throat.
"I don't know what's going to happen to me, kid. Who knows, maybe tomorrow..."
Tomorrow was his birthday. He didn't know that, I did, though. I thought it would be better for him if I didn't mention it, though. Maybe he did know. Maybe he just didn't feel it was worth it. He stared blankly at the desk. He could see his shadow, moving its left arm as he did. The right arm remained motionless. A fly landed on the counter and frittered about. He picked up the glass and held it above the fly, lowering it slowly, until he stopped entirely. I knew why he stopped. He saw the face of one of them on the fly, shrieking with fear. He moved the cup back and just held it in the air, unmoving, and yet, much like the ice, melting.
"You know, son," he said, his back still faced toward me, "you remind me of someone. How often you come here, boy?"
I didn't respond.
"Doesn't matter anyway. Wouldn't want to find out you're a drunk at your age."
I wasn't, but I came anyways. Something compelled me to go, so I went. The record stopped, and the device pulled another disc from the set. Dream On was the record pulled, and it began to emanate from the speakers. Those outdated speakers, a nice, quaint touch, but a rather unnecessary one. A man in the corner started coughing, and I thought I saw blood come out of his mouth. It was just tomato soup.
I walked up to the counter, and sat down. He acted as if he didn't notice. I didn't mind, however.
"Times like these," he began, "are ones long gone. Life is long, enjoy it while you can't."
Those words struck me as odd, but I said nothing.
"Too long. Too long. At least, mine is."
A brief pause went here.
"Have I ever done anything worth mentioning," he said as he rejected taking another sip. "It seems as if all my life, I've just been here. Everyday, the same routine. Nothing seems to change, they do, though. The times go backwards. Only in times of crisis, like back then, do they move forward."
He exhaled, breathing in everything shortly after.
"I had a gun too you know. It could kill real quick. I didn't know, though. No one did. They never told us. We weren't informed. We never used them before. And how could we have? We were only children at the time. Kids with guns. That's all we were, to them, and ourselves."
He paused. It seemed as if he was near tears, but he held them back, held back the tragedy, but it held him back at the same time.
"Everyday, dozens of them fell, one after another, and we had to watch it... because we were the ones doing it. You should have seen it. The tin canisters shook in my hands. I could barely hold them. My aim was terrible," he chuckled to himself, but it was clearly forced.

The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test measures the amount of LDH in the blood.
LDH test; Lactic acid dehydrogenase test
A blood sample is needed.
Your health care provider may ask you to stop taking certain medicines that may affect the test. Medicines that can increase LDH measurements include anesthetics, aspirin, clofibrate, fluorides, mithramycin, narcotics, and procainamide. If you take any of these, tell your provider before the test is ordered.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
LDH is most often measured to check for tissue damage. The protein LDH is in many body tissues, especially the heart, liver, kidney, muscles, brain, blood cells, and lungs.
Other conditions for which the test may be done include:
Normal value range is 105 - 333 IU/L (international units per liter).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific results.
A higher-than-normal level may indicate:
If the LDH level is raised, your doctor may order an LDH isoenzymes test to determine the location of any tissue damage.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

Seville: Nightlife
The excitement reigns in the city night and day. The Sevillians are good hosts and they like to live life. At night the streets fill up with people and you have hundreds of bars and nightclubs to choose from. Equally varied are the options for snacking and sampling the famous Spanish tapas
For many people, the night of Seville is one of the best in Spain. Often, the ideal is to go without a predefined destination. No matter if you prefer to chat with friends and have a drink in a quiet environment or whether to go to a nightclub until the sun rises, since the excitement is guaranteed. The Triana is one of the busiest, where you can see the flamenco shows while you drink a caña (draft beer). Sala Boss is one of the most prestigious clubs in the city, a place where you'll now find some of the best known DJs in the world. Before venturing into the night, nothing better than to take a peek in the tavern Los Coloniales, a great place for lunch or dinner located in the center of town, very near the cathedral. We recommend the patatas bravas and Tablas Rocieras, a dish with different types of meat, ideal for sharing.

Long before Stephenie Meyer's famous vampire novels about Bella and Edward, DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES the musical was entertaining people in their millions – and it still is at the Stage Theater des Westens in Berlin. This stage version of the film by Oscar-winner Roman Polanski is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.
At Berlin's Theater des Westens – one of Germany's most distinguished theatres – vampire researcher Professor Abronsius and his hapless assistant Alfred embark on a journey to mysterious Transylvania. Their aim is to track down and kill the vampires who, so legend has it, are living in a castle. Very soon they discover the vampires' trail and manage to slip into the castle disguised as tourists. But will they be victorious in the battle against the immortals? Will Alfred be able to free his beloved Sarah in time from the clutches of the dreaded vampire Count von Krolock? Will they all escape unharmed from the world of immortality? The vampires are rising from their graves for a great celebration, so let the dance commence…
Seven times every week, Count von Krolock and his vampires issue an invitation to the dance at the Theater des Westens, which was taken over and renamed Stage Theater des Westens by Stage Entertainment in 2003. At this show based on the film by Oscar-winner Roman Polanski, around 1,400 people experience a wonderfully dramatic story with electrifying dance scenes, spectacular sets and deeply felt rock ballads. Guaranteed to send shivers down the spine!

Vacation Rental Cottages in Asheville, NC
from $120 per night *
* winter rate
We have found that one of the most important, if not THE most important aspects of a vacation rental cabin, hotel or anywhere else you stay, is the cleanliness of the place. I cannot stand to even see a spot of mold in a shower. When we go away on vacation, I have to have my bleach bottle just in case. There is no higher standard I have than to have an immaculately clean cottage. I personally oversee all the cleaning of the cabins and make sure that nothing is ever left unchecked. My goal is for you to think that you are staying in a brand new Asheville cabin each time you come and stay with us.

A collapsed lung occurs when air escapes from the lung. The air then fills the space outside of the lung, between the lung and chest wall. This buildup of air puts pressure on the lung, so it cannot expand as much as it normally does when you take a breath.
The medical name of this condition is pneumothorax.
Air around the lung; Air outside the lung; Pneumothorax; Spontaneous pneumothorax
Collapsed lung can be caused by an injury to the lung. Injuries can include gunshot or knife wound to the chest, rib fracture, or certain medical procedures.
In some cases, a collapsed lung is caused by air blisters (blebs) that break open, sending air into the space around the lung.This can result from air pressure changes such as when scuba diving or traveling to a high altitude.
Tall, thin people and smokers are more likely to have a collapsed lung.
Lung diseases can also increase the chance of getting a collapsed lung. These include:
In some cases, a collapsed lung occurs without any cause. This is called a spontaneous pneumothroax or collapsed lung.
Common symptoms of a collapsed lung include:
A larger pneumothorax causes more severe symptoms, including:
The health care provider will listen to your breathing with a stethoscope. If you have a collapsed lung, there are decreased or no breath sounds on the affected side. You may also have low blood pressure.
Tests that may be ordered include:
A small pneumothorax may go away on its own. You may only need oxygen treatment and rest.
The health care provider may use a needle to pull the extra air out from around the lung so it can expand more fully. You may be allowed to go home if you live near the hospital.
If you have a large pneumothorax, a chest tube will be placed between the ribs into the space around the lungs to help drain the air and allow the lung to re-expand. The chest tube can be left in place for several days. You may need to stay in the hospital. If a small chest tube or flutter valve is used, you may be able to go home. You will need to return to the hospital to have the tube or valve removed.
Some patients with a collapsed lung need extra oxygen.
Lung surgery may be needed to treat collapsed lung or to prevent future episodes. The area where the leak occurred may be repaired. Sometimes, a special chemical is placed into the area of the collapsed lung. This chemical causes a scar to form. This procedure is called pleurodesis.
If you have a collapsed lung, you are more likely to have another one in the future if you:
How well you do after having a collapsed lung depends on what caused it.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of a collapsed lung, especially if you have had one before.
There is no known way to prevent a collapsed lung. You can decrease your risk by not smoking.

Van Halen's Touring Cycle Officially Ends
Thursday, August 8, 2013
Van Halen's touring cycle for its 2012 album A Different Kind Of Truth has come to an end. Singer David Lee Roth posted a video online thanking fans for their support of the tour, which officially wrapped up with the second of just two U.S. dates the band played in 2013, at the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles, California.
A Different Kind Of Truth, the band's first album with Roth in 28 years, came out February 7th, 2012 and the tour started 11 days later. But it came to a halt during that summer due to "exhaustion" and was further sidelined by Eddie Van Halen's surgery for Diverticulitis. The group returned this year for a gig in Australia, four dates in Japan and the two U.S. shows. (HenneMusic)

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas has received more money than expected from tobacco settlement funds for the second straight year, sparking a debate in Topeka over where the nearly $5 million surplus should be spent.
Under state law, money from the landmark 1998 settlement is to be spent on early childhood programs approved by a group of experts called the Kansas Children's Cabinet, the Topeka Capital-Journal (http://bit.ly/Y923nI) reported. Any money that comes in above what was budgeted is supposed to be put into the Kansas Endowment for Youth, which was set up to help fund the programs after the settlement runs out.
But the endowment is nearly broke after being routinely raided since it was established in the late 1990s, and lawmakers aren't showing a willingness to replenish it as other budgets are strained.
Kansas received a settlement check this week for $60.2 million, though it had budgeted only $55.8 million.
"We are pleased to learn that this year's tobacco settlement payment is more than enough to fully fund early education programs as recommended by the governor," said Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children and a member of the children's cabinet. "However, it won't do us any good to repeat the mistakes of the past by sweeping additional money from the settlement payment into the state general fund."
That's probably not going to happen, said Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat and member of the children's cabinet, because of a fiscal crunch created by income tax cuts she opposed.
Sen. Ty Masterson, an Andover Republican who is chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said the additional funds would allow the Legislature to take back most of the $4.6 million in early childhood block grants that were to be funded by the state general fund.
He said the block grants can now be funded with tobacco money, as they usually are.
Under the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement, participating tobacco product manufacturers agreed to make billions in payments to 46 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the District of Columbia over more than two decades.
States first received full payments under the settlement in 1999, and it was estimated that the companies would pay about $206 billion over 25 years.

Comments about ARYN K OPEN BACK DRESS:
Dress is really cute in person, online its styled a little funky with the boots, but paired with some chucky wedges to a spring wedding would be perrrff. Great color and super cute back strapes. The scoop neck line is classy and perfect amount of skin.

Staff Year End List: Program Director Kyle Pacynski's Top 10 Albums of 2013
What a great year 2013 was for music. At least if you look in the right places. Music for the sake of shock value may have spread across the mainstream, but the Impact is here to quell your agitation with the best new music out there. So here is my list for the Top 10 Albums of 2013
1. A Great Big Pile of Leaves – You're Always On My Mind
The sophomore release from AGBPOL continues to purport their signature style of nostalgia-based, care-free indie rock. Though they seemed to have dropped the underlying mathy inspiration, they've created a very stripped-down, lick-based record that doesn't stray from what fans crave.

Annual Meeting of the German Sunday Alliance in Düsseldorf
On 25th February 2014, in Dusseldorf, at Ver.di headquarters, the German Sunday Alliance held its Annual meeting aiming at taking stock of campaigns in the different federal states and regional alliances with a view to protect a work-free Sunday and to defend the right for German workers and citizens to enjoy a common day of rest with family and friends.
Although Germany is the country where there is more rigid legislation as regards, for instance, shop opening hours on Sundays, late evenings and holidays, and has one of the most favorable working time regulation for commerce workers, many differences exist in the various German Federal States. This is the case, in particular, for those regions that have borders with other countries where opening on Sundays is subject to less stringent rules.
The European Sunday Alliance was invited to give a speech on the most recent European initiatives to protect a work-free Sunday. In particular, Laila Castaldo, UNI Europa Policy Officer for Commerce, spoke about the possible legal avenues to recognize Sunday as a common day of rest in the EU and the status of the revision of the European working time directive now that negotiations between social partners at European level have failed. Susanne Herkommer from the Brussels Office of the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD) and Anna Echterhoff from the Secretariat of the European Sunday Alliance reported on the recent European conference on "work-free Sunday and decent jobs" and presented the pledge. The pledge was then signed by candidates to the European Parliament Election who were present at the annual meeting.
The day was also marked by a symbolic action. Participants drew a graffiti on the street in front of the conference venue asking "Freedom for Sunday".
The 3rd of March will be the European Action day for a work-free Sunday and in many towns in Germany demonstrations will mark the day.

The European Sunday Alliance welcomes a new member from the Netherlands!
The European Sunday Alliance is happy to inform you that as of today, the RMU – de Reformatorisch Maatschappelijke Unie – has joined the Alliance.
This Dutch organization defends the interests of employers, employees and the self-employed and is as such both a Union and an employers' organization. It provides its members with information, judicial advice and help with negotiations. The RMU is a strong supporter of the work-free Sunday and we are therefore thankful that they have chosen to join us.
European Day for a work-free Sunday on 3 March 2014
The European Sunday Alliance calls on all it's Members and Supporters to support the Campaign
"Pledge for a work-free Sunday and decent work ahead of the European elections 2014"
A work-free Sunday and decent working hours are of paramount importance for citizens and workers throughout Europe and are not necessarily in conflict with economic competitiveness.
Especially in the present time of socio-economic crisis, the adoption of legislation extending working hours to late evenings, nights, bank holidays and Sundays has direct consequences for the working conditions of employees and for small and medium sized enterprises. Competitiveness needs innovation, innovation needs creativity and creativity needs recreation!
Read more and take part in the action
The objective of this conference is to highlight the paramount importance a work-free Sunday and decent working hours for citizens throughout Europe and is not necessarily to be set against economic competitiveness. All people in the European Union should be entitled to benefit from work-free Sundays and decent working hours. Read more and register
In its judgement (G 66/11-8) of 14 June 2012 the Austrian Constitutional Court confirmed that the prohibition on shop opening on Sundays and bank holidays is consistent with the Austrian constitution. The overall objectives of shop closing or opening hours are: the protection of the interests of consumers, the aims of the competition regime and the socio-political function. All of these objectives would be in the public interest, says the Court.
The National Court is Spain gave unions satisfaction. Supermarket employees will be entitled to at least five weekends off a year, regardless of the fact that their workload is divided over 4, 5 or 6 days a week. The National Court gave satisfaction to the CCOO and UGT unions against the sector's employers' organizations, which claimed that this right was reserved to 6 days a week. (Ref. 120408)
ANCI and the three Italian unions CGIL, CISL and UIL have decided to develop a permanent discussion table on the topic of liberalisations of working hours and openings of stores, norm included in the "Salva Italia" act, on which it is necessary to reflect and evaluate also in regard to possible effects and implication.
