Construction spending up 0.3 percent in April
ASSOCIATED PRESS June 1, 2012 11:04AM
WASHINGTON — U.S. builders increased their spending on construction projects for a second month in April. A pickup in home construction and commercial projects offset a fifth consecutive decline in government spending.
The Commerce Department says construction spending rose 0.3 percent in April, matching an upwardly revised 0.3 percent March gain.
The consecutive gains pushed spending to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $820.7 billion to March. That is 7.6 percent above a 12-year low hit in March 2011. Still, the level of spending is roughly half of what economists consider to be healthy.
Residential construction rose 2.8 percent in April, the best showing in six months, to an annual rate of $256.1 billion. Recent data shows that housing has stabilized after years of weakness following the collapse of the housing boom.

So much for "do no evil".
>>>>>>Google needs to alter its crawl priorities so it crawls these legitmate small sites, and allow them to be beaten by legitimate large sites,<<<<<
Why turn them supplemental and effectively ban them from the serps? It commands the catch 22 problem. Never find them and they will never get natural, organic links and never grow. That usurps quality for moneyed sites. It cheats the surfers. If they can get a better deal or find better information then that is what google originally was supposed to do. It also distorts the results. These small sites will never grow under google's thumb. I am not saying that google needs to favor the small ones but just don't effectively, kill them. Don't use them as an excuse to cover the fact your index power is limited.
I find it funny that msn and yahoo have not had to resort to this.
And not to change the subject but I have also noticed this weekend that results that used to return (for example) 3 million + are now returning 1.5 million and so on. Almost exactly half in every sector I searched.

Bayer CropScience AG acquires innovative product for the control of varroa mites in honey bees from Exosect Ltd.
Winchester, Hampshire, UK — Exosect announced the recent acquisition of its unique product for the control of varroa mites in honey bees by Bayer CropScience.
The acquisition was made for an undisclosed figure and gives Bayer CropScience worldwide rights to sell the product and to further develop a portfolio of bee health products for the control of mites (including varroa mites and tracheal mites) using Exosect's platform technology, Entostat.
"After five years of research, we are delighted to have developed a product for this incredibly important sector and we believe that Bayer is very well placed to bring the product to market," said Martin Brown, Exosect's managing director. "Our platform technology, Entostat powder, has such huge potential in all sectors of pest control that despite our interest in the bee health sector we are unable to give the launch of this product the resource that it deserves. We are now able to use the substantial funds generated from this acquisition to continue to bring further exciting products through from our extensive product development pipeline."
"Bayer is aware of its responsibility as a producer both of crop protection products and of bee health products," said Dr. Franz-Josef Placke, head of development at Bayer CropScience. "Therefore, we are investing in research and development to provide beekeepers with sustainable solutions to improve the health of their bees and beehives."
The product, developed by Exosect Ltd., is for the efficient and cost effective control of varroa mites in honey bees. It is based on Entostat powder, Exosects' patented platform technology and the active ingredient thymol. The Entostat powder, which is derived from a natural, food-grade wax, develops an electrostatic charge, even through very slight movement. When placed in contact with bees, the powder adheres to them and can be passed from one bee to another through direct contact. The technology means that only minute quantities of thymol are required, which reduces the potential for thymol residues in honey crops.
Upper Canada Organic Products announced the issuance of the Canadian Pesticide Registration for Mosquito Barrier. The active ingredient is 100% garlic juice.
The new mobile technology has been designed specifically to create professional quotes and estimates in the field.
Ten attendees joined BedBug Central in Lawrenceville, N.J. from Feb. 18-21, for the first of two 4-day Boot Camp's being offered this year.
The group collected and distributed 57 "provision packs" and more than 80 meals to four homeless "camps" in the Columbus, Ohio area.
In 2013, the company's revenue rose 3.2 percent, driven largely by Rentokil's North American pest control business.

The Economics of Mobile Telecommunications
The mobile telecommunications industry is one of the most rapidly growing sectors around the world. This book offers a comprehensive economic analysis of the main determinants of growth in the industry. Harald Gruber demonstrates the importance of competitive entry and the setting of technological standards, both of which play a central role in their contribution to the fast diffusion of technology. Detailed country studies provide empirical evidence for the development of the main themes: the diffusion of mobile telecommunications services, the pricing policies in network industries, the role of entry barriers such as radio spectrum and spectrum allocation procedures. This research-based survey will appeal to a wide range of applied industrial economists within universities, government and the industry itself.Download Info

Introduction | I often like to complain about things. BUT, when I'm complaining about things, I want all of my readers to understand that I am not really serious... the things I complain about are typically the inconveniences of first-world living. Poor Wi-Fi signals, gourmet cuisine that's over-cooked, cramped flights during travel to amazing locations... yeah, I've got it rough. Don't get me wrong, I like to bitch about things, but my life is perfect. If I can wake up in the morning with a roof over my head, with a wonderful wife next to me, and have the ability to stand up on my own two feet, walk outside, breathe some fresh air, and essentially do what I want to do, I've got it made. |

I think Shipley makes more money then the transporter provider and that is not fear .
Once had a chance to chat with the driver and he said we both standing here in order give Shipley a lot of the shipment money.
Driver was really hoping for someone soon to be a competitor in the market and charge less then Shipley such as any van websit he said.

Grab your friends and family and captain the crew to victory! The party is back and bigger than ever in the Mario Party. 9 game for Wii, featuring all-new ways to play! For the first time in the franchise, boss battles crash the party and challenge players to compete to defeat a common enemy. In addition, players now travel across stages together in a vehicle towards a common goal - overcoming obstacles, battling bosses, and collecting Mini Stars stolen by Bowser and his minions. Featuring 80 new mini games, adventurous new stages, and all-new ways to play that blend cooperative and competitive action for up to four players, Mario Party 9 is the perfect way to get the party started. Features: For the first time in the Mario Party franchise, each stage culminates in a Boss Battle. Collectively, players must combine their strength to defeat classic foes such as Bowser and King Boo while still playing competitively to boost their own individual scores. In another first for the series, players ride across stages together in special vehicles. Players take turns as Captain of the vehicle by hitting Dice Blocks to move the party forward, hoping to land on lucky spaces. The vehicles also help to streamline game play and keep everyone involved in the action. Unique Captain Events on each stage give players a new way to change the shape of the game. In Mario Party 9, each themed stage has a clear destination point but with multiple paths along the way, so no two games will play the same. From Toad Road to Boo's Horror Castle, players will encounter a wide variety of familiar Mario franchise elements in new environments that can be enjoyed solo or with friends. Includes 80 outrageous new mini games that find players making pizzas, escaping haunted mansions and racing snowmobiles. No time to play through an entire stage. New mini game modes let players enjoy the action in smaller chunks of time. They can hone their skills at any mini game in Free Play mode. Age 3 years+.

Lindsay Lohan was "shocked and upset" to hear that her father signed up for "Celebrity Rehab" ... telling friends she's worried he'll embarrass the family.
We're told Lohan is saying she's most upset that her dad, Michael Lohan, began taping the show without ever giving her a heads up.
Lohan is also adamant she will NEVER make an appearance on the show.
Lindsay also wants to know how much Michael is getting paid for the gig -- because she wants to make sure her dad kicks over some of the cash to Dina ... since "he should be paying his child support for Ali and Cody."
FYI -- "Celebrity Rehab" had been gunning for Lindsay to star on the show in the past ... but it never came to be.
Lohan is also adamant she will NEVER make an appearance on the show.
Won't Lindsay be in jail and unable to make an appearance.
SHE is worried about HIM embarrassing the Lohan family?? Initially, I found this ironic. However, upon further reflection, I can see her point. I mean, doesn't she already have the monopoly when it comes to embarrassing the family? I can see how she might not like the competition. Lyndsey, I hate to break it to you, but given the U.S.'s anti-monopoly stance, you are out of luck.
I am, however, concerned about the American public during the filming and airing of Michael Lohan's involvement in the TV show. This is going to lead of an epic competition between the two for air time (in which they will almost-certainly be successful), thereby exposing the American people to the dysfunctional family theatrics which seem to define their lives.
We better hold on tight. It could be a bumpy ride.
jeeeze will these freaks never stfu. lindsey, charlie, all of em. although here i am reading about it to make my life seem better. it works actually.
Lindsay is telling friends she's worried "he'll" embarrass the family...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that's rich. Yes Lindsay all your crack delusions of a Holier-than-Thou exisistence are true!
Lindsay only spent the last 8 years turning herself into a human amphetamine vacuum.
To answer Lindsays question, he's on this show because they haven't come up with a show called Non celebrity mental health rehab yet.
Where's Nicole these days? Haven't seen her comment recently.
Posted at 4:32 PM on Mar 2, 2011 by John
lol...she's been around. she's still a dumbazz.
actually i think this was planned by the entire loserhan family. they are pizzed off that charlie has stolen their limelight. they'll do anything to steal it back.
Oh my.. oh my... oh my.....
this is so wrong on so many levels....
Michael Sr. in rehab.... let's see... he needs the money, he's a famewhore, he's a convicted felon so he can't get any other job, he's a drug addict and alcoholic, he beats women, he's a raging control freak, a Bible toting fake Christian, involved with a couple of scam artists in Florida running a rehab place for teens..... let's see.... is that about it? I'm sure there is more....
Dina - fame whore, delusional, chronic liar, probably an alcoholic, does drugs with her underage children, thinks she should be the celebrity, dumped her minor child in Hollywood unsupervised to be the family breadwinner, let all of her children except Jr. drop out of school before the 9th grade, tries to bring her minor children into nightclubs, lights their cigarettes, claims that Lindsay is being unfairly persecuted by the courts, steals ice cream cakes from Carvel.... I know there is more..
Lindsay - alcoholic, drug addict, convicted criminal, probation violator, lies to the court (my passport was stolen), parties in Cannes instead of being at her court hearing, drinks while having a SCRAM anklet on, fails drug tests while on probation, steals a mink coat and wears it around town, steals from friends and photo shoots, steals a necklace from a jewelry store, carjacking, kidnapping, cocaine possession (those aren't my pants), lies to police (the black kid was driving).... I'm sure there is more.. but I'm tired... lol
now.. let's see...
which one is the biggest embarrassment to the family?
I think we'll have to take a vote.....
Lindsay is holding out for Celebrity Rehab Crack Ho Edition with Paris and Brooke and the rest of the sluts! They will go in for booze, drugs and eating disorders... The entire treatment staff will relapse due to seduction and infection followed on with mental disorders; hardly wait!
@ carol
he's not doing it to get sober. it was reported he was doing it for anger issues and if he were really sincere about working on that, he wouldn't be doing it on TV. It's nothing more than an attention and money grab and another way to talk about lindsay publicly.

Room in a spacious and bright top-floor apartment with 360° panoramic views over Brussels. You can watch the sun setting behind Brussels' monumental buildings from your room; or from the terrace ... The apartment is conveniently located, only 600 meters from the railway station, 60 meters from the metro station, 500 meters from Brussels' biggest shopping area, 1 km from the Grand Place, ... Restaurants, clubs, bars, cafés, theatres, and museums are all within walking distance. Moreover, the street is surprisingly quiet.
The hosts know Brussels and can give you inside information, as well as lend you tourist guides and maps. They are in their mid-thirties, have travelled to all continents and thus know what travellers need, and they are very open-minded. They speak five languages: English (5/5), Dutch (5/5), French (4/5), German (3/5), and Spanish (2/5).
Coffee, clean towels, bed sheets, soap, shampoo, etc. are at your disposal. There is free WIFI and the facility to use a computer or printer, or to use the kitchen. There is a private bedroom (with king-size bed), a living and dining area, and a couch that can be transformed into a very comfortable king-size bed; so, groups of up to 4 people are welcome (if the guests are willing to sleep on a camping mattress, even groups up to 6 people are welcome).
Room type: | Private room |
Bed type: | Real Bed |
Accommodates: | 5 |
Bedrooms: | 1 |
Bathrooms: | 1 |
Beds: | 2 |
Extra people: | $14 / night after the first guest |
Minimum Stay: | 2 nights |
Security Deposit: | $143 |
Cleaning Fee: | $14 |
Country: | Belgium |
City: | Brussels |
Neighborhood: | Quartier Nord |
Cancellation: | Moderate |
We were pleasantly surprised when we learned that we had the whole apartment to ourselves, including a living room, a bedroom with a king sized bed, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony. We didn't take too much advantage of the apartment itself, since we spent most of our time out exploring the city, but they were lovely accommodations.
Noen's boyfriend (we never got his name!) was an incredible host, taking the time to go over a map of Brussels with us (while treating us to a Belgian beer), and even walking us to an Ethiopian restaurant for dinner. We even got to talking about his visits to the US and football, and even though he likes Marouane Fellaini (I guess you're obligated to if you're from Belgium), it was nice to have such a fun conversation with somebody we'd just met.
There was a little issue with the running water due to a burst pipe, but that was fixed after a few hours. Additionally, our host brought us a huge bottle of water, which helped a lot.
Overall, the stay was incredible, and we hope to be back soon!
Noen completely helped us out from the minute we arrived, provided us with guides for all our cities along with giving us his favorite spots! Definitely recommend to anyone going there and somewhere we would stay again!
The host was very kind and friendly! We were lucky to have this room and this host.We got great help.The viewing from the top floor was so nice.I definitely want to stay next time as well.Thank you very much for your help and good memory!!!
One of my best airbnb experiences so far! We had a perfect stay at Noen's flat. It is really spacious, well located and the view is amazing! We had the whole flat for ourselves. But since Noen was abroad, her friend Stijn showed us the surroundings, the best fritures in Bruxelles and many many bars! I definitely recommend them.
the views from the appartment were breathtaking. it was located near the city centre so we went everywhere on foot. Regarding the supplies, it was well-equiped. Stijn was very nice and he provided us all the necessary information. even though the appartement is near the underground, we found it difficult to arrive. It would be useful to know that it is in front of the fire department. Apart from that, we were glad to having booked this one.
Had a lovely time in Brussels - and our host was so helpful...when we arrived he made us coffee, sat us down with a map, and gave us great advice on where to go and what to do. Noen even helped us book tickets for a day trip in Bruges, which we would have paid triple the price for without his help. Really great host and a pleasure to share some moments with.
L'appartamento non è molto distante dal (email hidden) si impiegano circa 15 minuti. La fermata della metro e' sotto casa, ed è collegata anche con gli autobus. Non abbiamo mai conosciuto Noen, ma ci ha accompagnato un ragazzo, che non sapevamo chi fosse. Appena arrivati lo abbiamo aspettato più di un ora per accedere all appartamento. La casa si trova al 14 piano di un enorme palazzo, con una vista ottima della città; nonostante la posizione la casa appare trascurata e non totalmente pulita. Data la vista dalla casa dovrebbe essere più curato l interno, dall arredamento alla camera degli ospiti. Inoltre gli oggetti dei proprietari di casa sono in bella vista. Se dovessi tornare a Bruxelles non ritornerei in questo appartamento.
We stay here for 3 nights, here makes us feel like home; we even do not want to leave! The view look out from balcony are awesome, you will feel satisfy even not going out. The flat here near metro station, so it's quite convenient to connect whole Brussels. We have good time there, and will stay here again if we visit Brussels in the future! Strong commend it. :D
Wonderful stay in Brussels with Noen and Stijn! Roomy and clean apartment, large comfortable bed, and the location was perfect (close to both the train station and the city center). Felt very safe and taken care of. Would recommend to anyone visiting Brussels.
We stayed with this host two times in an 8-day period; it was great. The host was hospitable and helpful.

"Production: 14,900 cases Alcohol: 13.7% Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; Harvest Dates: September 27 to October 31. This superb vintage in northern Napa Valley yielded smaller than normal quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon. It was basically problem free other than relatively small crops. Some torrid heat in early August created some problems, but otherwise it was an even growing season with few difficulties. Beringer's 1994 Private Reserve came from four vineyard sites, Bancroft Ranch (47%), Tre Colline, and the balance from Chabot and St. Helena Home Vineyard. A stunning, seamless Cabernet Sauvignon, it boasts abundant notes of white chocolate, creme de cassis, woodsmoke, spice box, licorice and forest floor, superb concentration, a full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet, integrated tannin and admirable youthfulness as well as freshness. This is one of the most Bordeaux-like wines in this vertical, with the lead pencil shavings and scorched earth characteristics pointing toward a Graves style. This beauty will continue to drink well for another two decades." 97 Points The Wine Advocate
"Good red-ruby color. Reticent black cherry and mineral nose. Fat, sweet, lush fruit is currently kept under wraps by firm underlying structure. But this impressive cabernet has real dimension and depth. Finishes very long, with suave tannins. Should be a beauty. " 93 Points International Wine Cellar
"Ultraripe and fleshy in texture, with a nice mix of mocha, currant, blackberry and stewed plum flavors that turn supple and graceful on the palate, finishing with a smooth aftertaste and ripe, integrated tannins." 91 Points Wine Spectator
No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, Napa's benchmark producer since the establishment of the vineyard in 1876. Now in its third century of crafting classic wines from Napa's finest appellations and vineyards, Beringer today is guided by the inspired partnership of celebrated Winemaster...Read More About Beringer
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Mesa Lands Support For ARB_texture_query_levels
Published on 05 October 2013 12:47 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
The necessary plumbing has happened inside Mesa for handling the OpenGL ARB_texture_query_levels extension and it's now implemented for the open-source Intel Linux graphics driver on Sandy Bridge hardware and newer.
ARB_texture_query_levels requires at least GLSL 1.30 and is written against the OpenGL 4.2 specification as an extension to provide a new set of texture functions for GLSL to expose the number of mipmap levels for a sampler variable and other characteristics. The full specification can be found via the
OpenGL.org registry
While there's the support within core Mesa and the GL Shading Language changes made, as is usually the case when other OpenGL extensions are enabled in Mesa, for right now
there's only support for the Intel i965 hardware driver
. Intel made the necessary changes to better the Mesa OpenGL driver support and obviously they're most concerned just about their hardware driver, but in due time we will hopefully see the code taken advantage of within the Nouveau and Radeon drivers, etc. The support covers Sandy Bridge (Gen6) and newer hardware though when Gen5 hardware gets GLSL 1.30 by default, it should work there too.
This new OpenGL extension will be one of many extensions to be found in the next Mesa release due out in November. It's likely to be called Mesa 10.0 if OpenGL 3.2/3.3 support is reached.

SALT LAKE CITY — For Holly Mullen, a successful transition from journalist to political office holder may be in the hands of young voters.
Mullen, a Democrat and longtime Utah journalist, trails Republican Richard Snelgove by 10 percentage points — 46 percent to 36 percent — in the race for the open at-large seat on the Salt Lake County Council, according to a poll conducted this week by Dan Jones & Associates.
But of the 451 county residents polled, 65 percent were age 50 or older — a demographic more likely to lean conservative.
While acknowledging the relatively low number of young voters represented in the poll, Dan Jones said he expects to see fewer young people voting Tuesday than in previous elections.
Many young people won't be voting, he predicted, because they feel they've been "let down" by President Barack Obama and other leaders they previously were excited about at the federal, state and local levels.
Kirk Jowers, director of the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics, said voters of all ages are affected by the "enthusiasm gap" — when one party seems to be more energized than the other prior to an election.
"In 2006 and 2008, it was Republicans who were discouraged and Democrats were highly motivated," Jowers said. "That's flipped in 2010. Young people will follow those trends. The more liberal students are little more disenchanted, whereas the more conservative students are more fired up."
In recent years, young voters' political ideologies tended to lean moderate to liberal, he said, though that might be changing.
"During the Clinton and Bush presidencies and Obama campaign, we saw a sizable migration of young people to more moderate and liberal positions," he said. "There appear to be reports that there is a shifting to a more conservative votes by young people, just as with the rest of the country right now."
If that proves to be true, Tuesday could be a night of celebration at the Snelgrove house. Snelgrove's daughter, Kylee Snelgrove, is part of his campaign team and a member of the Associated Students of the University of Utah Assembly.
"Many young activists have been largely responsible for this lead we're enjoying right now," said Richard Snelgrove, 54.
Numbers from the recent poll show that Mullen has strong support from voters under 30.
"If the young people will turn out, that will help Holly Mullen," Jones said.
Mullen, 52, said she believes her campaign has focused on several issues important to young people — including clean air and transit.
A little more than 51,000 people ride the Utah Transit Authority's light-rail system, TRAX, every weekday, according to UTA spokesman Gerry Carpenter. And another 5,400 use the FrontRunner commuter-rail line each weekday.
"I've tried to reach out to that group because I really do feel I'm the much more progressive person on mass transit, funding and implementation of good transit planning," Mullen said.
A recent mailer from Mullen's campaign focuses on the importance of transit, noting its ability to ease traffic congestion and reduce air pollution while pumping money into local economies. She also called out Snelgrove for being "a longtime opponent of mass transit." She cited a comment Snelgrove allegedly made to the Salt Lake Tribune's editorial board that he wished "UTA had stuck with buses."
"That is a pocketbook issue, and it's a clean air issue," Mullen said. "It should be attractive to everyone, but especially to younger people."

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. It is like Saudi MB - only happy ending is not guaranteed. It is like secret lives of upper-class Saudi girls - more than physical access to men - they have phone sex and cyber sex et al. I read this book with pleasure. It is now a wide-known fact, that women in Saudi Arabia are not free. I knew a bit about that too. It is quite a hey subject, if brought in a serious manner. Nevertheless I liked this book. The style of writing is different from what I've read so far. (Except for diaries, off course.) The e-mail form worked good for me, the only annoying thing was, that the author constantly commentend on the e-mails she received in reaction to the ones that she sent out. Reading the book with western eyes made me sometimes wonder how girls of my age could behve like that. How could they be so docile, and, even when standing up to what ' everyone ' wants they just more or less completely put themselves in the shadow of their fathers, family, (future) husbands. I hope that since this book has been published, things have changed at least a little bit for the women in Arab countries. Saudi Arabia. Touted as a breakthrough, this epistolary novel needs to be understood in its cultural context in order to be something other than not-very-engaging chick lit. Within that cultural context, this novel-in-one-sided-e-mails is discrepant, jarring, and revolutionary (at least within the domestic sphere of the rich). However, even from this perspective, I had trouble with what felt like a self-conscious effort to mimic "Sex in the City." The characters' cattiness and meanspirited comments about other women's looks didn't make me like or respect them. Unlike the real women of RAWA and other revolutionaries, these self-preoccupied characters inspire no admiration. While the premise could work, the book suffers from telling, not showing, and is more like a gloss of the story than the story itself. The narrative itself just dribbles away and does not actually follow through on some of the promises the narrator makes to the reader-as-e-mail-recipient. It's an interesting idea, but it doesn't stand as a work of literature without its political and historical frame. This is not your mother's feminism, and not in a good way. A fantastic first person account of women growing up in the Middle East. Kudos for the author to take readers behind the "veil" and experience true life of a Middle Eastern woman. Girls of Riyadh gave a fascinating glimpse of the pressures of developing relationships in Saudi Arabia. I can see why it was a challenge to translate for a non-Saudi audience. We learn about the lives of four young women who share a long friendship. We see how girls and boys raised in isolation from each other manage to meet and communicate, how a tendency to romanticize relationships can perhaps increase with that isolation, and what happens when their society's rules are broken. The Saudi author has the benefit of having lived in the U.S. herself, so she was able to see the difference between the two with a sympathetic eye. It's good to read a story by an author native to the country, so the criticism of Saudi strictures is complemented by a love of the country and its people. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 014311347X, Paperback)When Rajaa Alsanea boldly chose to open up the hidden world of Saudi womentheir private lives and their conflicts with the traditions of their cultureshe caused a sensation across the Arab world. Now in English, Alsanea's tale of the personal struggles of four young upper-class women offers Westerners an unprecedented glimpse into a society often veiled from view. Living in restrictive Riyadh but traveling all over the globe, these modern Saudi women literally and figuratively shed traditional garb as they search for love, fulfillment, and their place somewhere in between Western society and their Islamic home. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:19:40 -0400) The tale of four young women university students from Riyadh follows their struggles to navigate the precarious paths between desire, fulfillment, and Islamic tradition while witnessing how the Arab world is being changed by new economic and political realities.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

This post was written by American Traveler Staffing Professionals
American Traveler has the utmost appreciation and regard for its nationwide workforce; recently, we honored our Sunshine State travel nurses with a Florida Spring Traveler Appreciation Party. It was a special evening for our travel nurse agency, because it allowed us to thank both our working professionals in Florida nursing jobs, as well as members of our corporate staff.
We invite travel nurses in all 50 states to click the video link and see pictures of their colleagues kicking up their heels in Florida. It was a night of sharing stories and fun from the nursing career path, over cheese & crackers, pizza, sandwiches and more. Camaraderie hung in the Spring air, thanks to our mix of impressive professionals, ranging from R.N.s new to travel nursing and on a first assignment, to Travelers logging ten years and counting with the company. More fun ensued when guests flirted with the chance to win an iPad2 for referring a qualified friend.
Vice President of Company Recruitment, Mary Kay Hull, was impressed by the high morale at the March party, which put "a spring" in every guest's step. She later commented: "It was so nice to meet so many of our Travelers and to spend time socializing and getting to know them. Hearing about their various geographic and career backgrounds made for a very interesting evening. We very much appreciate all that they do. We are so proud to have them represent us."
Mary Kay has expressed American Traveler's sentiments exactly. Since Spring is the season of new beginnings and moving forward, we felt lucky to assemble our amazing Florida travel nurses and encourage them to keep up the good work! As a premiere travel nurse agency, it is our constant goal to continue striving, improving and exceeding the standard in all 50 states! Check out our travel nurse jobs, generous benefits and handsome referral bonuses! Apply online or call 1-800-884-8788 today! You can also fan us on Facebook and see travel nurses living large for yourself!
