Invitation to World Literature produced by WGBH Foundation From Gilgamesh to Gogol, the world has been enriched by the writings of gifted people from a wide range of cultural traditions and regions of the world. This remarkable series from the Annenberg Media organization provides a nice introduction to "great epics, plays, poetry, and other literary texts." It includes testimony and commentary from scholars, artists, writers, and translators. The thirteen programs include "The Odyssey," "My Name is Red," "Popol Vuh," and "Candide." Visitors can view each program in its entirety and then move on to the complete series site, which includes teaching materials and activities. While all of the episodes are well-done, visitors may wish to start by viewing the episodes dedicated to "The Thousand and One Nights" and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude," which are particularly fine.

Getting arrested AT the Olympic Trials...... does NOT dishonor O-lifting?!?!?I guess DENIAL is not just the river in Egypt.I may believe that the US news media aided and comforted our enemy by making the big deal they did of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuses, but that doesn't change the fact that the idiots who committed those crimes(and took pictures of themselves doing so)dishonored the US military far beyond the ability of the UCMJ to gain more than a token of justice.

I have just started the Stepping Waves Afghan this weekend. I found Waverly for Bernat yarn on clearance at Michael's last weekend for 2.49 per skein. I am using Greek Sea, Aqua Frost, and Birch White for my 3 colors. The pattern called for size 8 needles, but I had to use size 4 needles to make the gauge. I have never tried anything this big before with such tiny needles.I know it will take a lot of time. I only have 2 inches done so far - with 60 more inches to go. May take 6 months, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Balsamic steak salad recipe
This spicy steak salad packs a punch with loads of flavour.
Serving Size:
Serves 4
Beef, Dinner, Easy recipes, Healthy, Salads, Steak recipes
Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
6-14 minutes
- 600g porterhouse or fillet steak
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 20ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
- 4 cups lettuce leaves
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup mint leaves
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 250ml balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
Coat steak with Cajun seasoning, lemon zest and 10ml (2 tsp) of the olive oil. Leave to marinate for 5-10 minutes.
Toss lettuce, tomatoes and mint leaves together and divide among plates.
Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium-high and add steak. Cook to your liking (about 2-3 minutes per side for rare, 3-4 minutes per side for medium, 5-7 minutes for well done).
Remove steak from pan and allow to rest on a board for 5 minutes.
While steak is resting, add the remaining olive oil to a small saucepan and add garlic.
Heat on low and cook for 1- 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Remove from heat and add the balsamic vinegar and sugar.
Return to the heat and cook gently for 1 minute.
Slice steak, arrange over salad leaves and drizzle with warm balsamic dressing.
Serve immediately, before the salad leaves wilt.
- Use any seasoning you like - Cajun is just one idea.
- Remove your steak from the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Meat at room temperature cooks more evenly.
- Don't be worried that the dressing with be too astringent; it's lovely on the fresh salad leaves with the seasoned steak.

coil cleaning
hey everyone!!
I am long time reader first time poster. I recently got my first job in the industry after graduating from school. albeit 2 years late. Anyway, I took a job with a local filter/pm company that deals only with commercial. I am the only EPA licensed employee they have. My main job is to clean rtu coils. I have asked my boss many times why we don't split the coil like i was taught. Instead we hit it with liquid foaming cleaner on the outside only and quickly hose it off. I am expected to clean between 18 and 25 rtu's a day. Am I wasting my time working for a company that doesn't do things right.
thanks alot!!

Water and dirt makes mud. You have to separate the split coils on the condensers.You will be surprised.What looks clean on the outside is most likely hiding enough cottonwood to knit grandma a sweater on the inside.Use compressed air.
Go to work for someone who will let you do things right!
Dad's Hideout The online mancave for dads
A job is better than no job and since you are now in the industry you will rub shoulders with others in the industry and may find it easier to get on with another company. Cleaning them like you are is probably better than what they were before you cleaned them so its not like you are wasting your time. There is no way you would meet that quota of 18-25 a day if you cleaned them properly. Just do what your boss says as long it doesn't compromise your morals and keep looking for a better job with a better company.
Wow 25 RTUs a day. Thats a lot. I would stay with that company until I found a better one.
Keep looking for another job. Carpet bomb every HVAC contractor in your area with resumes. Yes you are doing it wrong. Coils must be split to clean properly but that's not what you were hired to do. You were hired to splash and dash. But it's a job and you took it so do it till you get something better. At least you know it's not proper and you don't like it. That tells me you WILL be able to get on with a reputable company. Hang in there you'll make it. Welcome to the trade. Good luck.

Different scenario here. My boss alloted me time to split coils on several units that techs before me said they had to split. I get to the jobsite and pull the lids and find that the coils could not be split. My boss wanted to argue with me over this and I did win the battle. Also someone mentioned compressed air earlier. My boss wanted to argue with me over the purchase of CO2 cylinders as I told him that compressed air on a dirty coil is like peeing in the wind. I got my CO2.

Every place you work over the length of your career you will find things you disagree with. Be it owners, co-workers or bosses, there will always be disagreements. I'd say don't drag up and leave because somebody dose it different. Years ago dad told me something that stuck. Stay honest, so long as it depends on you do it well, And never work for anyone with less money or sense than you. If you must move on, make a place to go before you leave where you are currently working. Good luck!
18-25, that owner is doing something right,, I would not only stay find out how he's getting that many. Im sure the customer knows he's cutting corners. And im sure u will be back next year to do again. If he split all of them depending on area u wouldn't have to be back for a few years. He's probably charging low bid, But at the same time the customers like to deplete there budget,, so they will not be given a lesser budget the next Year.
It's a viscous circle,,
I would play a long in this economy
Really 18-25 ????? thats good one team

How long do you guys take to wash indoor & outdoor coils on a typical package unit?
I can't seem to do them in less than 30-45 minutes.
For that I do he following:
Setup wet/dry vacuum
Pop lid off package unit
Hit both coils with co2
Hit both coils with green clean (company policy)

by Jerry M. Zucker from Philadelphia PA suburbs
I just picked up a pair of Peavey PVx 15 speakers as a part of a new PA System for my big band at live events (in addition to an Allen and Heath MixWizard 16 channel board, two Peavey IPR amps, and a ... read more [+]VocoPro 8 channel wireless system), and I could not be happier with them ! We use them for vocalists and soloists as well as pumping the piano and a rhythm section mic through them and they sound awesome. They handle all the power that the IPR3000 throws at them, they do not distort, and the sound is fantastic. They're relatively lightweight for their size, and quite easy to carry with the built in handles. I can easily carry the pair at one time with no strain and getting them up on the poles is no problem at all. The one minor complaint that I have is that the pole mounts are a little tight, and it's difficult to get the speakers off the pole. I end up turning them upside down and pulling the poles out. I expect that this will get easier over time. close [-]

Man Seriously Injured In Head-On Crash Along TX 349 In Upton County
By: Dylan Brooks
Updated: March 6, 2013
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers tell Big 2 that a man in his 30s was driving south on TX 349 near the Upton-Midland County line around 12 PM Wednesday when his S.U.V. swerved into the northbound lane.
The S.U.V. smashed into the number 4 axle of an oncoming tractor-trailer.
The driver of the S.U.V. had to be cut out of the vehicle.
The man-- whose name hasn't been released -- was rushed to Midland Memorial Hospital in unknown condition.
Troopers don't suspect alcohol as a factor in the wreck.
Upton County Sheriff's deputies, E.M.S. crews and D.P.S. troopers responded to the crash.

Keratin Complex Curved Vent Brush
Jen W.TexasHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairIf You Don't Mind The Color....This is a great brush. HOWEVER, the picture showed black. Everything in my bathroom is black, and to me, the color matters. I got WHITE in the mail. Apparently, I was suppose the read the FINE PRINT. It states it will ship in black or white. I asked kindly if I could exchange it, and was told NO. Wow. Horrible customer service. For a $30 brush, you would think you could pick the color...posted Last weekLink to this post
MinasauntUnited StatesWhere Has This Brush Been All My Life?I bought this when I purchased the Keratin Complex shampoo, conditioner, and two other products. I bought this brush because I had purchased a paddle brush from another beauty supply store and did not like it at all--it smelled like gasoline every time that I used it to dry my hair. I decided on this brush because I get keratin treatments and wanted something high quality to use to dry my hair. I never taught that I would fall in love with a hairbrush but I can say that I am completely in love with this one. It is great on wet or dry hair and it helps style your hair when blow drying. It does help with blow drying time because it has vents. I think I am going to have to get a back up because I like it so much.posted Jan 5, 2013Link to this post

County Employees Ask Freeholders For Better Raise
Employees pack freeholder meeting over unresolved contract
Saying their members are struggling to pay their mortgages and feed their families, county employees asked the Ocean County Board of Freeholders to give them "a fair raise," at the freeholders' meeting in Toms River on Wednesday.
"This is a great county to live in," said Tom Weipz of Bayville, a member of the contract negotiating team for the Communication Workers of America Local 1038, which represents employees in the county's parks, security and roads departments. "We all work hard. But we have members who are falling behind on their mortgages. We have members who are working two and even three jobs.
"We're here to ask for a raise. Not an astronomical amount, but a fair raise," Weipz said.
The contract with the union, which represents 450 county employees, expired March 31, 2011, county administrator Carl Block said. A contract proposal was voted on and rejected by the union's members, and is now in the fact-finding stages, Block said. The fact-finder is set to meet with representatives of the union and the county on Oct. 31, he said.
The county has offered a raise of 1.5 percent per year for three years, but Bob Baxter, a shop steward in the security department, said that raise amounts to 25 cents per hour, while at the same time employees are being asked to make significant give-backs on health insurance and other benefits.
"We know the economy is bad," Baxter said, but county employees are going backward financially, he and others said.
Shawn Ludwig, local bargaining unit vice president with CWA, said the employees "understand the economic conditions.
"We're not looking for a big fight," Ludwig said. "Take a look at these men and women who serve the county proudly. We're stuck at a number that doesn't work for anyone."
The freeholders replied with praise for the work and the commitment of the employees, but noted the economic situation combined with the state-imposed 2 percent cap on budget growth has put the county between a rock and a hard place.
"We are struggling with these issues," Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said.
Freeholder John Bartlett, liaison to the parks department, noted that while the 1.5 percent offered was modest, it was the same amount agreed to by the county's other unions.
Bartlett also said even a small increase for county employees draws the ire of taxpayers.
Some people have criticized county officials, Bartlett said, for choosing to reduce the workforce through attrition rather than layoffs.
"We've cut 200 jobs," Bartlett said, "but I have had people ask me, 'How many did you fire?' When I said none, the response was, 'then you didn't cut jobs.' "
"So, yes, you haven't been offered a generous contract," Bartlett said. "We don't have the money to do that. ... Many of you if not all of you have gone backward in your take-home pay. But you have the commitment from this board of freeholders that you will have a job tomorrow and that paycheck won't bounce."
After the meeting, Block said the 2 percent cap is a serious constraint, noting that if the county were to give every employee a 2 percent raise, it doesn't leave much if any room for other areas of the budget to increase.
"Gas prices this year are a great example," he said.
The decline in property values in the county has cost it $10 billion in ratables, which negatively impacts revenue from property taxes, Block said, and that money doesn't get replaced. Lost revenue makes it difficult to afford to do anything, he said.
"They have a hard job and we know that," Weipz said after the meeting.
"This is just about trying to get working-class people a little more money," Ludwig said.

I am wondering why what i had to say wasn't posted with this article. I think being fired after getting hurt on the job that has left me disabled is something to ask questions about. they think that they can just throw me away, i have two young kids and it isn't fair that they have to suffer because of the wrong they are doing. people need to know what they have done.
thanks dave

10:34 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
hi again
i just wanted to point out a fact that the freeholders said many times. they said that they haven't fired anyone, which is a lie being they fired me on may 16, 2011. Because i was unable to return to work because my injurys were keeping me from doing so. i feel that people are afraid to ask them questions about what they have done.. government or not they are human like the rest of us, if they did something wrong then we should ask them why since they claim to care about their workers...I am wondering were the family of ocean county they claim to be does injuried and or work related disability fits in the family or do we just get thrown away like a broken toy.We need to stand up to them thanks again

"A Resident" --- It is a violation of the law to fire someone due to an on the job injury IF it is under a Workers Comp claim. It sounds like "former" needs to consult a Workers Comp attorney.

Sorry, deleted the wrong post this morning....I had replied to Mike before seeing the post further down by former explaining the situation further...
9:41 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
To "A Resident" in regards to your comment saying that you did not get the impression that my injuries were "work related", and that the county of ocean wouldn't be foolish enough to disregard the laws-----They actually are foolish enough to ignore the laws because they think the laws do not apply to them. You do not know all the facts to what is going on because they do not want people to know the truth!!! I have ACTUAL documentation proving that they are not doing what is right. They were ordered by a workers comp judge to start treatment and pay, but they are not in compliance with the court order. They even admit it on their own termination paperwork that I am unable to return to work because I sustained an on the job injury, and then they deny/lie about it in workers comp court just so they won't have to provide medical treatment and pay to me. Go ahead and keep thinking that the county would never do such a foolish thing as to break the laws, WELL think again, because it is the truth. And to further prove my point... what about all the politicians that end up getting charged with corruption. Just because my employer is the County of Ocean does not mean that they are almighty and does not mean that they don't break the laws!!The fact is, they just haven't got caught yet! But trust me, I will continue to expose their wrongdoings until they do what is RIGHT!! I DESERVE JUSTICE!!! THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL IN THE END!!

PS...Don't hire an attorney "jack of all trades, master of none" get someone who deals exclusivley with employment law. Call Andy Dwyer in Newark.
8:22 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
who are you "guess who"?? someone I know in particular? either way I just wanted to say that I am not whining, I am just trying to expose what they are doing. Secondly, thank you for the lawyer information. Over a year ago when I was fighting the county at civil service hearings for them trying to terminate me, I would have loved to of haved an employment lawyer by my side, but without income, it makes it very hard to be able to pay an attorney that wants to be paid up front and by the hour...trust me I did call several. I do have a workers compensation attorney, but since the county is so good at getting away with things, and having people in their pockets if you know what I mean and having other elected officials do their dirty work, it has been a struggle with workers comp (I have dealt with fraudulent doctors that they have sent me to, they have also been fraudulent with medical reports, etc)...for those that don't believe this to be true, because you think the county wouldnt' break the laws, trust me they do it!!!!...they have even gotten away with not complying with a court order that stated they were required to start providing treatment and pay to me, but like I said, they are in non compliance of that court order, and now I am waiting on the next court date to see whats going to happen. So again, I am not whining, just trying to expose their wrong doings. they seem to care alot about their image, so maybe the exposure will "help" them decide to do the right thing.
8:46 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
And by the way, if there are any employment lawyers reading this, or someone that knows an employment lawyer, that would be willing to help me out, then it would be greatly appreciated. feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Well, ocean county hasnt learned about the "new math." Here in union county, the freeholders in exchange for 3 years of 0% raises gave the employees free healthcare benefits for life right past when medicare shold kick in. They did a study with the new math and even though the health impact will be $100 million dollars the 3 years of 0 totally off sets it. Didnt make a difference anyway because they have found so much free money here. They are above such mundane things such as democracy, math, laws and common sense, they are gods!
Without a single resident asking for it, the freeholders decided to build a shrine to their godliness right next the the parkway so all could see. It is the union county golf course clubhouse and costs $20 million. Come up to exit 141 to behold. Looks like an idian casino but dont be fooled, its a 45,000 sf 3 story cllubhouse/banquet facitliy/office building. They did not need anyone to ask they were able to make the decision theirselves based on so much free money.
Come, come to theunin county paradise, feast on the nectar of the union county gods and the free flowing money.
Ignore the fact that union county is first among the metropolitan area with 23% homes in foreclosure or mortgages under water. Who cares about the county being the 5th highest taxes our of 3000 counties in the nation. Our $600 million in debt is puny. Our half billion county budget is insufficiet to their dreams. Come, come here to live. Free money!

County employees join all the rest of the nj residents who can't afford to fee their families,pay their mortgage etc.... Be happy you have a job and benefits. The residents of this state can't afford to pay for all the county and state workers any longer... don't like the pay and benefits...get another job or join us who has no job. Stop being so greedy and only thinking about yourselves.

You are right, there are some county employee's that do not do the job they are paid to do, in fact, I have seen it myself....but like with anything else, do not let those "bad apples" give a bad name to the ones that actually do work hard.

welcome to the Obama world, ask around .. for those that still have jobs haven't got raises either... at least you'll have benefits & retirement. Agreed fully Sue! You said it all. I got $0 raise two years ago, and now a $20/week raise the past two years. Why, just WHY are they any different. WE pay them, if WE can't get more, neither can they. It is tough and we surely empathize. All county/state/government employees Remember that. WE aren't getting ANY MORE either! Thus we need a consistent, solid economy. We make more, YOU can get more. Trickle down effect good at work.

We understand that they need to fill my empty position, but what I don't understand is why they just threw me away. There is accidental disability pension specifically for this reason and they are denying it to me. On the termination paperwork they specifically stated that I sustained an on the job injury and would not be able to return to work in the foreseeable future BUT then they tell workers comp that my injuries are not work related just so they don't have to provide medical treatment and pay. So how can they admit that the on the job injury is keeping me from returning to work to one entity but then say the complete opposite to another entity. I have been left with life altering medical problems because I was doing my job and then they threw me away. Im not sure your particular situation, but if you had a job, became disabled from an on the job injury and then your employer refused to give you the accidental disability pension that is specifically there for workers that are no longer able to return to work because of an on the job injury, how would you feel if your employer denied you of a pension you rightfully were entitled to?? So again it's not about the fact that they couldn't hold my position it's about the fact that they are just throwing me away without giving me the disability pension and the fact that they are refusing to provide medical treatment and pay for my on the job injuries that all employees are entitled to under the laws.

Former - what these employers are getting away with these days is just horrific. I also lost a job along with 39 other people after the entire place shut down. They waited a few months and re-opened with an entirely new staff apart from a couple of managers. We weren't even given the option to negotiate or cut our salaries. We were just played. There is so much of it going on and the fact that people are so anti-union in the face of all this mistreatment just makes my head spin. I wish I would have had union protection working for those scabs. That gelding Q knows all about it he lives here in town along with one or two of the business owners. For the misery they caused a lot of people I hope they burn in hell. I am lucky I had a pension from a union job worked when I was younger and that I am close to social security age. Those people I worked with who are in the too old to hire, too young to retire age bracket are in a word - screwed. The lawyers are a pain in the a$$. They want to argue with you, not listen to you. They will spend an hour telling you why they won't take a case, but not give an hour pro-bono help. They are another whole trip. I became what I would characterize as disabled right after layoff with what I sincerely believe to be a work related repetive stress injury. I had surgery that didn't correct the problem, in fact made it worse. The system for disability is such a pain in the neck I refuse to even try to deal w/ it. I feel your pain. You have company.

What a shame. The county sheriffs and corrections walk away with $5,000-$7,000 step increases each year and their salaries double in eight years-That's where all the money goes.
8:37 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
You are exactly right!!!! It is all the "higher" ups that are getting paid really well, while like one union member stated last night, the workers are the backbone of this county.... the workers deserve to be paid more, not the "higher ups"!!!!

"Money is tight" in this county if you're a regular employee looking for an increase in salary to make ends meet. But if you're a person at the top, the sky's the limit. Including double dippers like the Sheriff's office leaders.
8:43 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Exactly Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just like when I was at the hearing to fight against the termination, when I asked them, how was it fair that they were just throwing me away instead of giving me the accidental pension, and you know, the director of employee relations had the nerve to say to me, "well can't you go collect welfare". So basically, they would rather me live off of the system instead of giving me the accidental disability pension that is specifically there for when workers become injured so severely that they can no longer work. I am entitled to it, but they refuse to give it to me!!! They claim they care for the people and are there to help, but they are destroying my family financially because they refuse to take responsibility for my on the job injury that has left me with life altering medical problems!!!! They are wrong!!! My hope is for one day they stop collecting their high salaries and truly see how it is like to be a middle class person that only lives off of low salaries. I bet they wouldn't like it one bit!!!!

First, the freeholders must make sure that the political appointees, "dead wood", and just plain lazy no show jobs get fired, permanently. Clean house and make sure the county has only employees working and doing a good job. I am sure at least of third of the current employee listing, in all departments, can be eliminated. Then and only then consider salary reviews with a standard for cost of living raise and a separate merit raise for excellent performance. Just like the real world and the rest of us. Oh yes, and make sure that no county employee is double dipping.
If caught, they are fired from both.
8:28 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Jim, at least you are asking the freeholders to investigate something they have had a great deal of experience in throughout the years. Do you really think they might fire themselves?
9:18 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
The cops and the teachers seem to be doing ok in the raise department.
9:27 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
The realproblem stems from the failed Civil Service system and home rule. If New Jersey doesn't make major reforms in these areas, a raise will not be an issue

Abolish county government at all levels. Have the towns do the work. What is better managed, your small town or a large government like the county. Only people who care about the county are those who take from it so resistance will be lower than at the local level.

I agree that less layers of Government should be part of an overhaul of taxpayer funded employment in New Jersey.

just so you know not all of us that got jobs and lost our jobs are based off who you konw. I got my job because i was skilled with the knowledge of the job requirments listed by civil service.. But yes some do know people and get the job that way and it isn't always right because they may not be skilled for that job....

So is the rest of the county struggling to pay their mortgage....until the country becomes productive again...stop whining...be glad you have jobs! And, if you are really not happy, go try to find a private sector job, THEN complain. I work 2 p/t jobs and have no benefits/raises in 3 years. Stop b---- or leave.
12:16 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Yeah, just find another job because the Tea Partiers don't think government is at all necessary, what you guys are doing is just sitting at desks & after all who needs to have the garbage picked up, & who needs someone to monitor the air & water to make sure it's safe & who needs people to plow snow from the streets & who needs people to place navigational markers in the water to guide boaters safely & who needs people to check bridges to make sure that they don't fall down & who needs building inspectors to make sure buildings are safe & who needs teachers & who needs health inspectors to check on sanitary conditions in restaurants & who needs police for public safety & who needs people to guard convicts & who needs to make sure ex-cons stay crime free & who needs engineers to keep roads safe, who needs home health aides to keep the elderly safe, etc.

Dee just to get on the same page, My son was hired in 1999 by the county as a Dump truck driver cdl-a in hand, In 2012 after 12.5 years & 2 longvities he hit 39.400 before uncle sam got his. At that rate he will never get to struggle to pay his mortgage as im sorry you do,Because ......The job you say he should be glad to have didnt buy a house when they were giving away 5 years ago....Are hiring at either of your pt jobs at night...Maybe then he can get lucky and have a home to struggle for.
What you talkin about Willis?
4:20 pm on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Can't private businesses do all of that less expensively? Tell you what, government can keep doing all it if they give up their pensions since this is an unnecessary expense on the taxpayers. Pensions don't plow roads, grab trash or make kids smarter.
Public sector makes more than private sector anyway

8:41 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!! As long as they continue to make "their" high salaries during this hard economic time, then they don't care about all of the other employees. There is no reason for them to be making that much money!! They need to share the weath with the rest of the county employees
12:15 am on Friday, October 19, 2012

Pope Benedict XVI waves as he arrives for his weekly general audience at the Vatican. (Filippo Monteforte / AFP/Getty Images / February 13, 2013) |
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI was given a rapturous reception by the public at a general audience Wednesday, and the Vatican said he may offer his successor advice on papal duties after he resigns at the end of the month.
Benedict, 85, announced Monday that he would step down due to failing health, breaking with a 600-year tradition of popes serving until they die.
The German pontiff has decided to move to a former monastery on the grounds of the Vatican to pursue of secluded life of prayer after he resigns, but Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said Benedict could yet offer guidance to his successor.
"They are free men," he told The Times. "If the successor asks, why should he not respond?"
Concerns have been raised that even in retirement, Benedict will overshadow his successor, who will live in the Vatican's papal apartment a few hundred yards away.
Speaking to reporters, Lombardi said Benedict had not consulted cardinals before picking his retirement home, but he called it a "very wise" solution.
"The successor and cardinals will be very happy to have nearby a person who more than anyone understands the spiritual needs of the Church and his successor," he said. "He will be discreet and sustain his successor with spiritual service."
Benedict has a busy schedule of events planned before his resignation on Feb. 28, when he will be flown by helicopter from the Vatican to the papal summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo south of Rome. There he will likely sit out the March conclave to elect his successor before he returns to the Vatican.
At his general audience Wednesday, the first time he has met the public since announcing his retirement, a standing-room crowd of 8,000 at the Paul VI Hall in the Vatican cheered him on and waved national flags as he entered.
Benedict said he had decided to step down "in full freedom for the good of the church, after much prayer and having examined my conscience before God, knowing full well the seriousness of this act, but also realizing that I am no longer able to carry out the Petrine ministry with the strength which it demands."
Smiling and waving at the crowd, Benedict said his resignation would not hurt the church. "I am strengthened and reassured by the certainty that the church is Christ's, who will never leave her without his guidance and care," he said.
Benedict thanked a group of Italian schoolchildren for singing one of his favorite hymns in German.
Thanking the crowd, he said, "Continue to pray for me, for the Church and for the future Pope. The Lord will guide us."Benedict has arranged meetings with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and President Giorgio Napolitano this weekend; on his last day at the Vatican as pope, he will meet with cardinals for a send-off.
The following day, cardinals will begin to hold informal meetings in Rome ahead of the conclave, which must be held between 15 and 20 days after Benedict departs. One hundred seventeen cardinals under the age of 80 will elect the next pope.
Lombardi said Vatican experts are still scrambling to work out the protocol covering a resigning pope, the first in 600 years. Asked if there was any progress made on what to call Benedict after he resigns, Lombardi said, "We don't have an answer," adding that Vatican officials and the pope himself were working on a solution.

It is a particular pleasure, as a woman, to get to edit a men's issue. In fact, it is the great pleasure of journalism — and by extension of being a reader — to be able to step outside one's own world and dive into another as an interested outsider. This month we feature a wonderfully diverse array of men, all admirable in distinct and varied ways.
The cover shoot of the breakout star Matthias Schoenaerts was, for our seasoned team — the brilliant Bruce Weber, who has shot many a handsome, famous man, and also our entertainment director, Lauren Tabach-Bank, who has coddled many a star on a photo shoot — a charmed experience in which they were enthralled by the energy and realness of this actor, who having worked mostly in his native Belgium did not seem like so many of his slick, packaged and protected Hollywood peers. (Witness the picture of the crew cuddled in bed with Schoenaerts and see the video Weber made on the actor.)
On these pages, you'll also find the work of five exceptionally talented young poets who draw on their very different backgrounds to write poetry that allows us into their worlds, and their experiences to become part of ours. We visit the Stockholm studio of the perfumer Ben Gorham, a Swedish former basketball player, whose alchemy, spun from dreams and desire, yields transporting fragrances. We go to Toronto to find the oddest of rare-book shops, one that, thanks to the passion of its owner, just might be a template for the success of the bookstore in the digital age. In Tangier, we gain entree into the exquisite, book-lined home of the world-renowned garden designer Madison Cox. And in London, we see how Evgeny Lebedev uses his oligarch-paved influence, as owner of the Evening Standard and as a man of the world, to champion free speech, aid to Somali refugees, and the heritage of Russian theater. As for the secret life of friendships between men, I will have to remain satisfied with what others tell me, and Andrew O'Hagan's essay on the subject shines a deep light into the existential phenomena of true bromances.
Our fashion director at large, Joe McKenna, and our men's style director, Bruce Pask, show us the season's smartest coats and lightweight suits. Thankfully we have passed through that short and annoying transitional phase of the "metrosexual," a neccessary step on the road to the rise of regular men caring about what they wear. Guy Trebay makes the case that it is quite possible that we are living in an era when a greater number of men are dressing better than ever before. That is a pleasant boon for the eyes of women and men alike, as we hope this issue is for you.

EXCLUSIVE: Larry A. Thompson Entertainment has optioned Missing Mona Lisa, a spec script by Mark Hudelson. It's a slightly romanticized telling of the fact-based story of how a simple Italian man stole the masterpiece when he worked at the Louvre in 1911. The man, Vincenzo Peruggia, walked out one morning with the painting, kept it at first in Paris and then returned to Italy and was outed when he revealed to a gallery owner in Florence that he had brought the Leonardo Da Vinci painting back to its homeland. The gallery owner authenticated it, called the police and they arrested him. The painting was exhibited all over Italy with great fanfare, and returned to the Louvre in 1913. While Peruggia claimed his theft was an act of patriotism, he went to jail for a short stint but was hailed as a hero in Italy and served in the Italian army in WWI. Hudelson is an art history professor at Palomar College and has long been obsessed with the Mona Lisa heist. In his script, the art thief is painted entirely as a romantic. "This guy was a simpleton who fell in love with Mona Lisa, and in this romanticized version, he claims that in his heart he felt she was lonely and homesick for ... Read More »
Filed under: Motorsports, Classics, Mercedes-Benz, Racing As many invitations that I receive to drive the latest and greatest the automotive industry has to offer, my ears always perk up just a little bit more when the invite specifies a ride in a particular vehicle. Normally, I'd be expecting to ride shotgun in some sort of development mule or prototype, but during the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance last month, Mercedes-Benz offered to give me a ride in a fully restored 1910 Benz 21/80 Prinz Heinrich racecar. While hundreds of cars sat parked on the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island golf course, Mercedes shuttled me to a nearby road canopied by oak trees draped in Spanish moss to spend just 30 minutes with this super-rare antique racer. Cars like the 21/80 were used in long-distance races between 1907 and 1911, and Mercedes-Benz says that they were among the first true sports cars. This particular example (wearing the No. 38) is owned by Mercedes, and it was recently restored to practically brand new condition at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. Driving Notes After a brief walkaround/history lesson, the two-man crew with the 1910 Benz 21/80 Prinz Heinrich got to work getting the car started. The first step is delicately removing the engine cover and priming the engine with a hectane fuel. Then comes the hard work. While one man adjusts the various steering-wheel controls and foot pedals, the other stands in front of the car to crank the engine over. It took four good attempts at the hand crank, but the 80-horsepower, four-cylinder engine finally came to life with fuel leaking on the ground and the exposed cylinder valves clattering away. Life was good! With the big Benz running, I hopped in the back seat... almost literally hopped. Back in the day, the car's single-piece, wheel-to-wheel running boards helped occupants get in the car, but you simply don't step on the freshly painted metal of a 103-year-old car. Getting into the back seat was a feat requiring athleticism and flexibility, but once in, it was like being transported a century back in time. There's just something very majestic about being chauffeured around on a cool Florida afternoon in a car with a suicide shifter. Taking off was no easy task either. As the driver started to work the gas and clutch pedals, it felt like we were rear-ended by another car to get our forward momentum kicked off. Once up to speed though, there is nothing as exhilarating as driving through a neighborhood with the wind in your face watching as local residents and motorists alike do double, triple and quadruple takes of the car before letting out a grin and a friendly wave. One of the requirements for the Prinz Heinrich racecars was that they must be production vehicles with seating for four passengers. Now while I'd like to tell myself this was one of those "bendable" racing rules, it's more likely just a telling sign that passenger size and personal space have both grown exponentially over time. I was obviously also a little taller than most 1910s-era passengers as the majority of my useable legroom was taken up by the spare tire, but some slightly banged up knees were more than worth it for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The driving route we took was along a standard side street, but at times it felt like the car was driving over whoopty doos thanks to its four-wheel leaf spring suspension, massive wheelbase and the fact that the rear passenger - me - was positioned directly over the rear axle. During this ride, we got up to around 40 miles per hour, but the car's handlers said that it is more than capable of hitting triple-digit speeds. Achieving such high speeds would surely have been thrilling in its time, but I can only imagine that things would get a little hairy every now and then considering that the car only has rear brakes. Just sitting still, the Benz 21/80 Prinz Heinrich was imposing. About as long as the GL-Class we pulled up in, this car was painted in a dark green hue accented only by subtle pinstriping and various racing decals and badges. One interesting part of the car was its added nose piece, which I was told helped improve aerodynamics and controlled air flow to the radiator. The simple cockpit of the car featured just four gauges - we couldn't figure out what any of them were used for - mounted into the wooden firewall (how ironically dangerous does that sound?). As exciting as it was to ride as a passenger in this timeless car, it was almost as fun to see it on display at Amelia Island the very next day alongside another Prinz Heinrich car - a privately owned car that eventually went on to race in the very first Indianapolis 500.

So just how beloved is Frances Hodgson's Burnett's "The Secret Garden"? Well, if we're judging by the number of times it has been adapted for film and television, it's very, very beloved. First published in 1911, the novel was first brough to the big screen in 1919 in silent version, and over the decades, it has been made again numerous times, perhaps best known being the Francis Ford Coppola produced 1993 film directed by Agnieszka Holland. Well, it looks like we're going to get another one. The Oscar nominated "Beasts Of The Southern Wild" writer Lucy Alibar has been tapped to pen the latest iteration for producer Guillermo Del Toro. The ever busy director/producer was actually courted to direct it himself, but obviously his slate is busy enough, so we'll produce alongside Mark Johnson, who he teamed with for "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark." And it seems they picked Alibar for her specific voice. This take will...

Cobra Hatchling
Binds when used
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Idles about.
Vocalizations (on-click and periodic)
Upon attaining revered with The Oracles faction in Sholazar Basin, players can purchase a [Mysterious Egg]. Because it's unique, only one egg can be "incubated" at a time. After three days, the egg becomes lootable as a [Cracked Egg]. Possible loot includes [Aged Yolk], a Green Proto-Drake mount, or one of four vanity pets:
- Cobra Hatchling
- Proto-Drake Whelp
- Tickbird Hatchling
- White Tickbird Hatchling
As of patch 3.2, this pet slithers up from a hole in the ground upon summoning.
As of patch 4.0.3a, the time in which an egg will hatch was reduced to three days (down from seven).
I got a tone of pets when I first discorved the AH and learned how to use and I bought this little guy and was so excited to use him dungeons, bgs, and raids :D
Happy collecting!
Among snakes, the cobra hatchling is currently unique in its looks. I don't know whether Blizzard intends to add any more pets with this model in the future, but meanwhile this one will be my snake of choice to level up.
Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?! At least it's colorful and exotic. After all that effort to befriend and help the Gorlocs, how do they repay you? By selling you some random egg they snatched from a nearby nest. I hope Mamma Cobra doesn't come sniffing around bite-sized Breanni for her baby...

Unisys SiLK stirs
Can KM and Six Sigma really sit comfortably side by side? Not everyone is convinced.
By Jerry Ash
The SiLK approach at Unisys, a blend of Six Sigma, Toyota Lean and knowledge management (KM) described in our November 2006 case report in Inside Knowledge, unleashed a torrent of acrimonious debate in the January (2007) AOK Star Series Dialogue, a two-week follow-up discussion moderated by Robert M. Taylor, the KM leader and Six Sigma black belt at Unisys, who designed the cross-over experiment.
Six Sigma was characterised, as generally applied, as plain wrong inhumane at best and pure evil at worst. Furthermore, the quest to make KM into a process was viewed by some with complete disdain. Marrying what one called Six Stigma with KM was inconceivable to several correspondents.
Opponents portrayed Six Sigma as having a horrid reputation among those who began to think differently in the 1980s about the coming century bringing a major shift from an industrial to a knowledge-based economy.
The violent reaction against Six Sigma reminded Fred Schoeps, a former KMer at IBM, of his own prejudice relative to a good friend who had dedicated his life to quality.
I admire his skills, knowledge, experience and wisdom, Schoeps said, even though he didnt embrace his friends methods. Six Sigma is one of many tools in his tool kit. Its relevance as a field of knowledge with applicability in business is profound.
Yet Schoeps admitted that the automatic voice inside his head pulled up an old conversation based on bad experiences with Six Sigma 15 years ago. Amazing how old stuff information and knowledge can poison the well, he mused. A very wise woman said to me a couple of years ago, You can say anything to anyone as long as you dont make them wrong.
The right to be wrong
Thought leaders and practitioners are passionate about their KM and, in debate, often react to attacks on their beliefs as personally as attacks on themselves.
Everyone has the right to be wrong (especially in a knowledge-sharing setting) and opponents of linking KM to Six Sigma Lean (SSL) may be wrong in simply defying or ignoring Six Sigmas continuing favour among corporate executives. While Six Sigma began to wane in the 1990s, many companies are still locked into the approach and in the past five years, Six Sigma has made something of a comeback due, in part, to the initiative of one major consultancy.
No one knows exactly how widespread Six Sigma is but Dennis Pearce, KM applications manager at Lexmark in the
One, my company (a Fortune 500 enterprise) has a director of Six Sigma, but not a director (or even manager) of KM of a full-fledged KM programme. Two, when I look at the language of job postings on the internet, I see a tendency for the view of Six Sigma to be broadening (Sales director wanted must be familiar with Six Sigma concepts).
On the other hand, Pearce sees the role of KM narrowing in job postings: Knowledge-management experience required, including knowledge of Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) and Java stack technology as used in EP.
You dont know what EP is? Thats enterprise portals, of course
If Im a manager, adds Pearce, even if I dont understand all the statistical mumbo jumbo, its clear there is a specific set of tools one can use to learn to make business improvements on a project-by-project basis. Plus, General Electric, Motorola and IBM use it so it must be good, right?
He was speaking for the mythical manager, but his next statement was on behalf of himself. Almost by definition, SSL is more quantitative than KM, which makes it much easier for executives who dont know much about either to figure out what theyre getting when they fund an SSL initiative.
Carl Frappaolo, executive vice president of consulting organisation the Delphi Group, disagreed with Six Sigmas leanings toward process-oriented KM.
Too many advocates get far too academic and fuzzy, he said.
It is this very attitude that led to the demise of many a knowledge management effort. KM for the good of all mankind, to make us smarter? Sure, okay. But for those of us who have to earn a living in an environment that holds us accountable to results, measurable results that lead to dare I say increased profits and competitive advantage, it is not enough to espouse the merits of storytelling, the building of communities and the heightened levels of intelligence in the community.
In a business community, processes are a critical component of the organisational ecosystem. Process-oriented KM is a valuable execution model. Delivery of knowledge through process (just-in-time delivery) as well as proactive capture of experience and decisions via process execution, is a powerful KM model, one that has worked not to the exclusion of other models, but in tandem. In the real world, KM must be a little bit people-oriented and a little bit process-oriented.
It is this kind of ongoing debate that drives the best KM dialogue where two rights dont necessarily mean one must be wrong. It is an exciting time for knowledgework-thinkers who are in the middle of a caldron of deep thought worthy of the evolution that is next-generation management. Its not all contradiction. Agreement is emerging from these debates.
