Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Theres something big and thick throbbing inside Spencer Reeds trousers and hes anxious and horny enough to address it. The big muscled stud unbuckles his belt and pulls out his cock a pretty impressive piece of artillery that requires a lot of attention. With a stranglehold around the engorged shaft, Spencer strokes up and down. He works his hand non-stop, accelerating both the action and the tension churning deep within his loins. A pinch on the nipples, a tickle up his ass and the constant jerking off finally pays off with an explosion of cum all over.

I never heard that about No before nor have seen studies. I beleive there are studies on NO(aagk, arginine) actually being good for muscle. I mean sure its not going to work as fast as prohormones or steroids, nothing works that fast, in the short term of things.
For myself, when losing body-fat, like pre-conest, a stimulant is used. I do think its a good idea to cycle off of them and give the adrenals a break. Maybe take some reset ad if you have to have them. I know I can cycle off of them and Im fine so if I can do it I know you can do it. transoting into the time off stimulants peroid try some l-tyrosine. Its pretty nice pre-gym. of course if you work out later , and stimulant sensative you may want to not use it or watch your dose.

Bought for my 3 year old to compliment her already girlie room. Was a perfect accent
I bought this headboard for my 2 year-old's first big-girl bed and it is very cute. The only issue I had was that all the nuts, bolts, etc. were just thrown into the box instead of being in a sealed bag and so when it came time to put it together I found out that one of the bolts was missing. It turned out that I couldn't have used it anyway because of how the headboard attached to the bed frame, but it was annoying nonetheless. The directions for putting it together aren't super-clear, but I figured them out and I am certainly no engineering genius. Bottom line: cute headboard, not-so-cute packaging and instructions.
My daughter love her pink headboard so much. The quality of work and look itslef is excellent.
Bought this as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter, and she loves it. Color is perfect and it was delivered on date promised.
This is a beautiful twin headboard - perfect for my 5 yr old daughters new room. The piping is adorable. I didn't think for this price I would get such a cute, unique, upholstered headboard - but I did!
Looked like a great headboard and would have used it had the pink fabric been on the back of the headboard as well. Due to the shape of our room we needed the headboard completely covered.
perfect for a little princess.....arrived in great shape, very easy to put together.
This headboard is covered by pink fabric only on the front and sides. The back side has black fabric with labels. So it can only be used with the back against a wall. It is a nice pink color that my daughter loves.

New England CVBs have teamed up to launch a new Internet service for corporate executives--MeetingPath, at www. meetingpath.com. Designed by the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau and MarketStream, LLC, and endorsed by the New England Society of Convention & Visitor Bureaus, how will MeetingPath distinguish itself from the myriad Web pages on the Internet? With interactivity.>
Corporate meeting planners will be able to access information about 2,000 suppliers in New England and send those suppliers information about their meetings. MeetingPath will allow planners to narrow down a selection of, say, hotels in a particular region by specifying the number of guest rooms, the number of meeting rooms, and/or the capacity of meeting rooms required by their groups. Planners then send RFPs to the list of hotel possibilities, and they'll get a yes-or-no response, with the date they can expect to receive a proposal via e-mail from the hotels.
Meeting executives need all the help they can get when booking Boston. Hotel occupancy is forecast to be 80 percent in 1997, with an average room rate of $146--one of the highest in the nation, according to PKF Consulting.
But now, at least, for the first time in quite a few years, new hotel construction is on the horizon. The World Trade Center Boston, unusual among convention center centers in that it targets corporate business, is building an adjacent 427-room hotel, the Seaport Hotel & Conference Center, which will serve as a headquarters property for the facility. Last year, the World Trade Center augmented its offerings by opening the 11-room Exchange Conference Center in a nearby historic building.
Further hotel development could follow the construction of a proposed convention center in South Boston, not far from the World Trade Center. Plans for that center, which would have more than 600,000 square feet of exhibit space and accommodate the conventions and trade shows that are outgrowing the Hynes Convention Center in Back Bay, were being laid this spring by city and state officials. Patrick Moscaritolo, president and CEO of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, says construction of the convention center could lead to 3,000 new guest rooms citywide over the next ten years.
Despite the guest room crunch, there are a variety of meeting and function spaces available in the Boston area. Groups have college and university facilities at their disposal: Northeastern University, for instance, operates a conference center in a 36-room Tudor mansion called the Henderson House. Attractions such as the New England Aquarium handle sizable receptions, dinners, and meetings. And on Beacon Hill, a mansion called the Hampshire House--with the downstairs pub that was the inspiration for the watering hole on the long-running TV series Cheers--still does a brisk group business.
Hotel News The 427-room Seaport Hotel & Conference Center, set to open in May 1998, will be connected to the World Trade Center Boston. It will have 16,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, including an 8,200-square-foot ballroom. Other features: a health club with a swimming pool, a 150-seat restaurant, a business center, and teleconferencing facilities.
* A 600-room Hilton hotel at Logan International Airport, still in the design stage, is slated for a 1999 opening. The property will be adjacent to a new parking garage now under construction at the airport and will be accessible to the terminals by climate-controlled walkways.
* The Westin Hotel, Copley Place, recently completed renovation of nine seventh-floor meeting rooms totaling 6,500 square feet. The 800-room hotel, in Boston's Back Bay, has 47,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.
* The 152-room Bostonian Hotel was renamed the Regal Bostonian Hotel last year upon its affiliation with Regal Hotels International and the Winn Development Company. Located across from the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the hotel has 2,200 square feet of meeting space.
* The Hyatt Regency Cambridge just completed a $5 million renovation of nearly all of its 469 guest rooms and suites. The property's meeting room space remains about 22,000 square feet.
* As part of its $4.9 million expansion, Ocean Edge Resort and Conference Center, in Brewster on Cape Cod, added 46 one-bedroom guest units last year and added 25 more this spring, bringing its total inventory to 210 units. The property has 11,980 square feet of meeting space.
* SeaCrest Oceanfront Resort, in North Falmouth on Cape Cod, just completed renovation of its 6,500-square-foot ballroom and its main dining room and lounge, and transformed a lounge into a 2,000-square-foot meeting room. The addition gives the 262-room property more than 30,000 square feet of meeting space.
* Tara's Ferncroft, in Danvers, has undergone a $2 million renovation over the past two years. All 367 guest rooms have been renovated and include new amenities such as data ports and voice mail. Six long-term-stay studio suites have been added. About half of the property's 30,000 square feet of meeting space has been renovated.
* The Beachside at Nantucket has opened its first meeting room, which seats about 40 persons theater-style. Four break-out rooms are also available. The 90-unit property has also completed renovations of its lobby and exterior.
* The Embassy Suites Hotel-Marlborough, about 30 miles west of Boston, is expanding from 100 to 238 guest units and quadrupling meeting space to 3,500 square feet, with completion set for July.
* Holiday Inn Boxborough Woods, 35 miles northwest of Boston in Boxborough, renovated its 143 guest rooms last year. The property has 28,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 13,200-square-foot exhibit hall.
* The Hastings Hotel & Conference Center, Hartford, CT, has built a new circular driveway, a new lobby, and refurbished its guest rooms. It also has a new banquet hall, the Mount Laurel Room, which seats up to 500 persons. The property has 270 guest rooms and 50 meeting rooms
* The Radisson Hotel & Conference Center, Cromwell, CT, plans on remodeling in the near future. The property offers 212 guest rooms and 27,000 square feet of meeting space.
Venue Menu In Cambridge's Harvard Square, Cybersmith, a cybercafe, features 55 commodious computer stations offering all manner of high-tech experiences, including virtual reality. The 5,800-square-foot attraction can arrange complete catering for receptions of up to 180.
The Computer Museum occupies the top two floors of a century-old brick warehouse on Congress Street in Boston. (The Children's Museum is on the first three floors.) The highlight of its seven exhibit galleries is a walk-through, two-story personal computer. An organization can have its name, message, or logo displayed on the 9-by-12-foot screen. The Computer Museum accommodates 850 persons for a reception; in conjunction with The Children's Museum, planners can hold receptions for 2,500. The Computer Museum also has a special-events room that holds 300 for seated dinners and presentations.
The Exchange Conference Center opened last year in the historic Exchange Building on Boston's waterfront, adjacent to the World Trade Center. Developed by the firm that manages the World Trade Center, it has 11 conference rooms seating up to 15 persons, and a larger room with a capacity of 100. The facility has videoconferencing capability and a separate sound system for the hearing impaired. It offers full catering and airport transportation via water shuttle.
The USS Constitution Museum has doubled its size by annexing a neighboring circa-1850 structure. The new wing's second floor is a 3,000-foot gallery lined with seven-foot-tall windows overlooking Boston Harbor. With the expansion, the USS Constitution Museum accommodates seated dinners for up to 190 persons and after-hours receptions for up to 350.
The New England Aquarium is constructing a new wing that will house a changing exhibit gallery; completion is expected in 1998. The aquarium also is creating a space for meetings; it will hold about 100 persons and open later this year. The entire aquarium accommodates evening receptions for up to 1,200.
Getting There Boston's Logan International Airport, which is served by all major domestic carriers and 16 foreign carriers, is three miles from downtown Boston. Limousines cost $7.50; cabs $10 to $15. A water shuttle between the airport and Rowes Wharf in Boston offers regular service, and costs $8 one way. A bus that travels between South Station Transportation Center in downtown Boston (site of the city's major Amtrak terminal) and the airport costs $6 one way, and makes the trip in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Cabs to Cambridge, which is about five miles from Logan, cost at least $15.
Construction projects at the airport include the consolidation of parking spaces in the new West Garage and the recently completed modernization of Terminal E, the international terminal.
Worcester Regional Airport is served by Continental Express and US Airways Express. Worcester is about 40 miles west of Logan International Airport; Worcester Airport Limo charges $30 one way, $52 round-trip to Boston.
Air travelers bound for Cape Cod have several options. They can fly into Logan International Airport, which is about 75 miles from Hyannis. From Logan, they can fly Cape Air to Hyannis, or take a bus. Plymouth and Brockton Bus Line provides service between Logan and 17 towns on the Cape; the fare to Hyannis is $15 one way or $27 round-trip. Bonanza Bus Lines provides service between Logan and Bourne, Falmouth, and Woods Hole; the one-way fare is $17, round-trip is $30.
An alternative is to fly into T.F. Green Airport in Providence, RI. The airport, which is slightly closer than Logan to the Cape, opened a new terminal in 1996. T.F. Green is serviced by US Airways and US Airways Express, Continental, United and United Express, Northwest and Northwest Airlink, American and American Eagle, Southwest, and Delta. From there, attendees can board Plymouth and Brockton Bus Line for service to Hyannis; the fare is $21 one way, $38 round-trip.
Travelers can also fly into Barnstable Municipal Airport in Hyannis. Colgan Air flies to Hyannis from the New York area's LaGuardia Newark airports.
How's the Weather? Boston-area winters are snowy and cold, with average high temperatures in the 30s. Warm, occasionally humid conditions are the norm in summer, with temperatures reaching the 80s. Spring is unpredictable, while autumn, with its brilliant foliage and crisp temperatures, is, for many, the most enjoyable season.
Tax and Money Matters Hotel guests in Massachusetts will pay a total of 9.7 percent tax, including the 4.7 percent state sales tax.
Living in Boston, independent meeting planner JoAnn Dowling has an advantage when scouting for off-site venues for her meeting clients, many of which are small corporate groups.
"People love Beacon Hill house tours," Dowling says, citing one of her favorites. Some owners of the 19th-century mansions open up their homes to groups of about 20 persons. "As you can imagine, these tours are done with much caution," she says. "But the owners are very gracious about visitors coming in." Because large groups are not able to traipse through the mansions, Dowling will often schedule small groups of attendees in shifts during the course of the meeting. The house tours are best arranged through a destination management company.
Dowling also suggests tapping into Boston's sports teams. Bad news for sports fans is good news for planners: Because both the basketball Celtics and hockey Bruins had a terrible season, tickets can be acquired, Dowling says. As for baseball's Red Sox, who play in Fenway Park, tickets are hard to come by, but the organization will work with planners to make tickets available, Dowling says. She adds that Fenway Park's 600 Club is a popular setting for meetings, as well as meal and cocktail functions, and can be used even when the Red Sox aren't playing. Corporate executives can arrange to have a tailored message flashed on Fenway's electronic scoreboard.
Another Dowling recommendation, albeit a seasonal one: the Frog Pond skating rink, which opened earlier this year in the Boston Common. "It has group rates and will do corporate skating in the evenings," Dowling said. "When you're skating, you can look at all those Beacon Hill mansions in the distance. It's a wonderful atmosphere that you can't replicate anywhere."

Hannah's Gift: Lessons from a Life Fully Lived
by Maria HousdenEvery once in a while a book comes along that can change your life-a book so special, it is destined not just to be read but to be cherished, to be passed from one reader to another as a precious gift. Filled with wisdom and grace, tears and laughter, Hannah's Gift is one such book. Within these pages Maria Housden shares the transformative lessons in living she received from her three-year-old daughter Hannah, who brought courage, honesty, and joy to her struggle with cancer. During the last year of her short life, Hannah was fearless in the way she faced death-and irrepressibly joyful in the way she approached living. The little girl who wore her favorite red Mary Janes into the operating room changed the life of everyone who came in contact with her. Now, in a book that preserves Hannah's indomitable spirit, Maria Housden offers the gift of her daughter's last year to all of us. In a lyrically told narrative, both moving and unforgettable, Housden recounts Hannah's battle with cancer in simple, straightforward language that transcends grief and fear to become a celebration. From Hannah's story emerge five profound lessons-of truth, joy, faith, compassion, and wonder-that have the power to change our lives. During her illness Hannah showed how we can truly live in the moment and break free from lives suffocated by too many unlived joys. Even more memorable is the message Hannah delivered after her death to those she loved-a message of hope for anyone faced with the deepest questions of life and death. Hannah's Gift nourishes the soul with an ageless wisdom all the more invaluable for having come from someone so young. A remarkable story, remarkably told, it will bring comfort to anyone touched by loss, and renewed faith in the power of love. Closing her eyes and extending her arms, Hannah began to dance. Oblivious to everything but the shoes on her feet, she skipped and clicked across the floor, twirling in circles, faster and faster. There was something about her pure joy and the defiant nobility of the red shoes that caught everyone's attention. . . . The true measure of a life is not its length but the fullness with which it is lived From the Hardcover edition.

Though Hannah Goodloe knew she'd violated countless unwritten laws, she had to visit the only man who could help find her runaway son. But when the enigmatic Levi Harmon agreed to take her on his train, the results were utterly unpredictable. Levi never expected to find the embodiment of all he wanted in a woman in the soft-spoken, plainly dressed Hannah. And for Hannah, to love an outsider was to be shunned.

Hannibal Crosses the Alps: The Invasion of Italy and the Punic Wars
by John PrevasWhen he left his Spanish base one spring day in 218 B. C. with his 100,000-man army of mercenaries, officers, and elephants, Hannibal was launching not just the main offensive of the Second Punic War but also one of the great military journeys in ancient history. His masterful advance through rough terrain and fierce Celtic tribes proved his worth as a leader, but it was his extraordinary passage through the Alps-still considered treacherous even by modern climbers-that made him a legend. John Prevas combines rigorous research of ancient sources with his own excursions through the icy peaks to bring to life this awesome trek, solving the centuries-old question of Hannibal's exact route and shedding fresh light on the cultures of Rome and Carthage along the way. Here is the finest kind of history, sure to appeal to readers of Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire: alive with grand strategy, the clash of empires, fabulous courage, and the towering figure of Hannibal Barca.

Hanoi's Road to the Vietnam War, 1954-1965
by Pierre AsselinHanoi's Road to the Vietnam War opens in 1954 with the signing of the Geneva accords that ended the eight-year-long Franco-Indochinese War and created two Vietnams. In agreeing to the accords, Ho Chi Minh and other leaders of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam anticipated a new period of peace leading to national reunification under their rule; they never imagined that within a decade they would be engaged in an even bigger feud with the United States. Basing his work on new and largely inaccessible Vietnamese materials as well as French, British, Canadian, and American documents, Pierre Asselin explores the communist path to war. Specifically, he examines the internal debates and other elements that shaped Hanoi's revolutionary strategy in the decade preceding U.S. military intervention, and resulting domestic and foreign programs. Without exonerating Washington for its role in the advent of hostilities in 1965, Hanoi's Road to the Vietnam War demonstrates that those who directed the effort against the United States and its allies in Saigon were at least equally responsible for creating the circumstances that culminated in arguably the most tragic conflict of the Cold War era.

Hanta Yo
by Ruth Beebe HillThis is the saga of bands of Lakotah/Dakotah Indians from 1794 through 1835, told via the lives of individuals. The story seems woven from the events recorded on an actual Winter Count (a history of important events to mark the years) found in 1865. Though long (812 pages), the novel is absorbing and the characters very well drawn. .I found it hard to stop reading. The book won a Western Heritage Award in 1980. Warning:a few graphic scenes of torture and delicately phrased descriptions of sex. "...Indian idiom [is followed] as closely as possible in mood, tense and definition . . ." Thus sentences that might seem to be grammatically incorrect, or missing words, are not errors, nor are some adjective-noun hyphenated words. This book has been read and validated carefully. I did nothing with the Glossary or Idiomatic Phrases except put in page breaks. I did look at them and I think they are readable and comprehensible as they are, but if you need them cleaned up, send those pages to me and I'll get the book and fix them (email@example.com or email@example.com) The occasional bullets have no significance (I couldn't get rid of them). Nor could I put all the diacritical marks that should be in the names: S and z should have an acute above them, and the "h" and "g" a dot above them, sometimes c a dot below. Other letters have acutes. There are innumerable Indian words and non-traditional spellings of familiar words.

Happens Every Day: an All-Too-True Story
by Isabel GilliesIsabel Gillies had a wonderful life -- a handsome, intelligent, loving husband; two glorious toddlers; a beautiful house; the time and place to express all her ebullience and affection and optimism. Suddenly, that life was over. Her husband, Josiah, announced that he was leaving her and their two young sons. When Josiah took a teaching job at a Midwestern college, Isabel and their sons moved with him from New York City to Ohio, where Isabel taught acting, threw herself into the college community, and delighted in the less-scheduled lives of toddlers raised away from the city. But within a few months, the marriage was over. The life Isabel had made crumbled. "Happens every day," said a friend. Far from a self-pitying diatribe, Happens Every Day reads like an intimate conversation between friends. Gillies has written a dizzyingly candid, compulsively readable, ultimately redemptive story about love, marriage, family, heartbreak, and the unexpected turns of a life. On the one hand, reading this book is like watching a train wreck. On the other hand, as Gillies herself says, it is about trying to light a candle instead of cursing the darkness, and loving your life even if it has slipped away.
Happenstance Found
by P. W. CataneseTwelve-year-old Happenstance awakens in a cave with no memory of who he is or how he came to be there. Soon a mysterious trio arrives to take him away: the explorer Umber, the shy archer Sophie, and Oates, whose strength and honesty are both brutal. Hap and his new acquaintances narrowly escape the cavernous underworld and make their way to Lord Umber's bustling jewel of a harbor city, Kurahaven. Once there, Hap learns that Lord Umber is an extraordinary man -- he's a merchant, adventurer, inventor, royal adviser, and chronicler of all things monstrous and magical. But Umber's accomplishments can't answer the question closest to the boy's heart: Who is Happenstance? Desperate to uncover clues in his new, baffling surroundings, Hap accompanies Umber on dangerous and unusual missions. But Hap soon learns that there are powerful enemies inside the kingdom, and a ruthless assassin is hot on his trail. Faced with many unknowns, Hap knows one thing is certain: There's a reason Umber has chosen him...if only he could determine it. P. W. Catanese's richly spun fantasy chronicles one boy's quest for answers and hope in a world riddled by knowledge and power corrupted.

The Happiest Baby on the Block
by Harvey KarpIn perhaps the most important parenting book of the decade, Dr. Harvey Karp reveals an extraordinary treasure sought by parents for centuries --an automatic "off-switch" for their baby's crying.No wonder pediatricians across the country are praising him and thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Pierce Brosnan, have turned to him to learn the secrets for making babies happy.Never again will parents have to stand by helpless and frazzled while their poor baby cries and cries. Dr. Karp has found there IS a remedy for colic. "I share with parents techniques known only to the most gifted baby soothers throughout history ...and I explain exactly how they work."In a innovative and thought-provoking reevaluation of early infancy, Dr. Karp blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that newborns are not fully ready for the world when they are born. Through his research and experience, he has developed four basic principles that are crucial for understanding babies as well as improving their sleep and soothing their senses:·The Missing Fourth Trimester: as odd as it may sound, one of the main reasons babies cry is because they are born three months too soon.·The Calming Reflex: the automatic reset switch to stop crying of any baby in the first few months of life.·The 5 "S's": the simple steps (swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging and sucking) that trigger the calming reflex. For centuries, parents have tried these methods only to fail because, as with a knee reflex, the calming reflex only works when it is triggered in precisely the right way. Unlike other books that merely list these techniques Dr. Karp teaches parents exactly how to do them, to guide cranky infants to calm and easy babies to serenity in minutes...and help them sleep longer too.·The Cuddle Cure: the perfect mix the 5 "S's" that can soothe even the most colicky of infants.In the book, Dr. Karp also explains:What is colic?Why do most babies get much more upset in the evening?How can a parent calm a baby--in mere minutes?Can babies be spoiled?When should a parent of a crying baby call the doctor?How can a parent get their baby to sleep a few hours longer?Even the most loving moms and dads sometimes feel pushed to the breaking point by their infant's persistent cries. Coming to the rescue, however, Dr. Karp places in the hands of parents, grandparents, and all childcare givers the tools they need to be able to calm their babies almost as easily as...turning off a light.From the Hardcover edition.

The Happiest Toddler on the Block
by Harvey KarpToddlers can drive you bonkers...so adorable and fun one minute...so stubborn and demanding the next! Yet, as unbelievable as it sounds, there is a way to turn the daily stream of "nos" and "don'ts" into "yeses" and hugs...if you know how to speak your toddler's language. In one of the most useful advances in parenting techniques of the past twenty-five years, Dr. Karp reveals that toddlers, with their immature brains and stormy outbursts, should be thought of not as pint-size people but as pintsize...cavemen. Having noticed that the usual techniques often failed to calm crying toddlers, Dr. Karp discovered that the key to effective communication was to speak to them in their own primitive language. When he did, suddenly he was able to soothe their outbursts almost every time! This amazing success led him to the realization that children between the ages of one and four go through four stages of "evolutionary" growth, each linked to the development of the brain, and each echoing a step in prehistoric humankind's journey to civilization:* The "Charming Chimp-Child" (12 to 18 months): Wobbles around on two legs, grabs everything in reach, plays a nonstop game of "monkey see monkey do."* The "Knee-High Neanderthal" (18 to 24 months): Strong-willed, fun-loving, messy, with a vocabulary of about thirty words, the favorites being "no" and "mine."* The "Clever Caveman" (24 to 36 months): Just beginning to learn how to share, make friends, take turns, and use the potty.* The "Versatile Villager" (36 to 48 months): Loves to tell stories, sing songs and dance, while trying hard to behave.To speak to these children, Dr. Karp has developed two extraordinarily effective techniques:1) The "fast food" rule--restating what your child has said to make sure you got it right;2) The four-step rule--using gesture, repetition, simplicity, and tone to help your irate Stone-Ager be happy again.Once you've mastered "toddler-ese," you will be ready to apply behavioral techniques specific to each stage of your child's development, such as teaching patience and calm, doing time-outs (and time-ins), praise through "gossiping," and many other strategies. Then all the major challenges of the toddler years--including separation anxiety, sibling rivalry, toilet training, night fears, sleep problems, picky eating, biting and hitting, medicine taking -- can be handled in a way that will make your toddler feel understood. The result: fewer tantrums, less yelling, and, best of all, more happy, loving time for you and your child.From the Hardcover edition.

While Congress absolutely has the right to make and amend laws, the wolf delisting rider (Section 1713 of the budget law, PL 112-10) does not amend the Endangered Species Actit circumvents the judicial process by ordering the reinstatement of the 2009 rule that delisted wolves. Moreover, by exempting it from judicial review it basically nullifies the Constitutional checks and balances between Congress and the Judicial Branch of government.
The wolves were removed from the shelter of the ESA after a controversial Interior Department memo was published that several animals should be taken off the list despite their numbers not being at a sustainable level. The delisting order leaves the wolves under the purview of the Montana and Idaho state governments. Montana began selling wolf hunting licenses [state hunting regulations, PDF] on the same day as Molloy's ruling. There is no limit on the number of licenses sold, but the hunting season will be closed in hunting districts around the state as regional quotas are reached. Montana hunters will be able to shoot as many as 220 gray wolves in Montana in a hunt scheduled to begin in early September, first with an archery season and then later with a rifle season. The state expects that the hunt will reduce the predator's Montana population by about 25 percent to a minimum 425 wolves. Environmentalists say they believe the population will be reduced further than that.

Five Recipes to Stay Warm, and Healthy in the Winter Season. ~ Alex Hanifin.
One of the best ways to stay warm in the cold, wintery season is to munch on food that we love. Our bodies naturally go into a hibernation mode that can make you feel like eating more then your usual amount. This can result in not feeling as fit and skinny as you were a few weeks back.
Here are some warm, comforting, and healthy ways to cook and eat food… and also keep your kitchen warm and cozy.
1. Chicken Soup. Veggie? Replace with dumplings. Add seasonal veggies like sweet potatoes and carrots. Both are filled with vitamins and nutrients.
2. Roasted Almonds for a fun snack to munch on when you just want to eat. Add a little cinnamon and honey for the sweet and spicy tooth.
3. Sweet Potato Fries. Cut a sweet potato in sections and bake in the oven. This will keep your kitchen warm and cozy and provide a heathy alternative to greasy french fries.
4. Warm Apple Sauce. Put a whole apple in the oven, and then mash it up when it is soft. Add raisons and nuts, and you have a homemade apple sauce.
5. Oat Meal. A great way to start the morning. Put in some fresh fruit and you are on your way.
All healthy ways to satisfy that monster in your stomach, and keep you a little warmer.
Alex Hanifin is a Boulder local. She climbs rocks to get off the ground. She bakes to enjoy herself. And her work comes along with it all.

Nice! Thanks, Alex. Oatmeal's a staple in my house for winter, and I can't wait to try the baked apple. What temp/how long do you bake it?
[...] my heart and kitchen to yours — enjoy the how-to's of making homemade organic [...]
Put it in at 350, and depending on the apple it may take 20 -30 min. squeeze it until it feels mushy and soft. Add maple syrup. It is amazing!

2. Talk about the first sentence of the novel. "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Do you agree with its assertion? 3. Early in Part One, we meet the Oblonsky family in the middle of a very tumultuous situation: Stiva has admitted to his wife Dolly that he has had an affair after she found a letter revealing his secret. What are your first impressions of Stiva, Dolly and their household? 4. In Chapter V, we are given background into Stiva's character—he is described as "liked by all who knew him." Does he seem likable to you? Why or why not? 5. Talk about your first impressions of Levin and your thoughts on his friendship with Stiva. 6. When we meet Kitty, she is tangled in an interesting web of courtship with two men. Do you get the sense that Kitty will make a good decision for herself?

Talk about the family traditions discussed in the first part of Anna Karenina. Look carefully through the text and pick out at least five that seem to be particular to this time and culture. 8. Do you feel Anna's relationship with her brother and his wife Dolly is a good one? Discuss this dynamic and how you think it may play out as the book progresses. 9. Talk about the ball and the way Tolstoy writes about the interactions between Kitty and Vronsky, and Anna and Vronsky. 10. What do you learn about Anna's family life at the end of Part One that seems significant? How is that reinforced by the details the author chooses to show you about her marriage and home?

As an aside, I know one couple - who'd lived in Deerfield for many decades, who recently decided to…Read More and did sell their home, and left. Though a retired professional with assets, they simply got tired of the ever increasing burdens of expansionist government spending that's clearly out of control. In the past decade or so Deerfield expanded the Police-Station, renovated and expanded the Village Hall, built the Turner Center, tore down a building and built a new building [of very limited scope of utility] in Jewett Park, renovated and expanded the Library, among other projects, and District 113 just put their snout into the taxpayer's pocket-trough for a couple of hundred million dollars to renovate Deerfield and Highland Park High-schools [schools that have been so structurally mismanaged and insufficiently maintained that it defies all logic to give the same people responsible for the deterioration of those facilities a lavish budget to - we must assume, start the process all over again.
Bear in mind just eight things:
real-incomes are down/have reverted to pre-1996 levels, population demographic forecasts in the Village are stagnant - at best, though likely trending downward [which compounds the aburdity of the projects mentioned above],
the State of Illinois recently raised the State's income-tax by 2/3rds,
the State is still grotesquely in debt to under-funded pension obligations,
these - along with the horrific condition of the State's infrastructure [road, bridges, rail-ways, etc],
the State {along with other taxing authorities} continue to give away 'incentives' to private companies that do not carry their weight, e.g., Boeing - which paid no federal income taxes for 2013 whatsoever, et al, and
globalization of labor will continue to put downward pressures on earnings {real-earnings}, and
the reduced tax-basis from decreased population [the flight from Illinois] and decreased real-earnings will only exacerbate the inability of these approximately 7,000 taxing bodies to continue their reckless ways.
All signs are indicating implosion - unchecked and utterly inefficient government is simply no longer tolerable!
Alice Riley March 8, 2014 at 10:42 am
coming from a suburb of Philadelphia where the schools were top notch… our property taxes…Read More were less than half for a 5 bedroom colonial on two acres than what we pay now for a 2 bedroom condo in Chicago! Over 15 years, our taxes never even doubled. Within a year of living here--our taxes over doubled!!! Although we love the city.. We will not stay here post retirement. Taxes here are out of control and there seems to be no cap in sight. No sales tax in PA on clothes or food either!!
Bernard Johnson March 8, 2014 at 10:54 am
I recently learned of another family in the Village who are leaving; they're so fed up that they're…Read More leaving the country entirely.
Setting our perspective outside of the Village of Deerfield, Bannockburn, Riverwoods, Highland Park, Lake Forest and Lake Bluff; the rest of Lake County isn't exactly a haven for tax revenues and/or productivity. Lake County is home to many people dependent on government - to some extent, and/or who live in poverty; they reside in Waukegan, North Chicago, Round Lake Beach, Zion, Park City and elsewhere.
Coupling the poverty that abounds in Lake County with the dire state of the State of Illinois and the... issues of the greater Midwest [Gary, Cleveland, Detroit, Flint, Milwaukee, Akron, Indianapolis, Peoria, Kankakee, Moline, Rockford, etc], the writing's on the wall - in great BIG red letters.
Right-to-work states [notably those in the South], as well as India, China and much of Southeast Asia will continue to drive labor's 'value' in the US downward. Illinois may be home to some Fortune 500 companies, but, many of them aren't expanding here, or don't make anything here whatsoever {Boeing, Caterpillar, et al}. Chicago's financial institutions are no longer her own. The Harris is Bank of Montreal, Continental is now Bank of American, LaSalle, Cragin, Talman and Exchange National are ABN AMRO; only the Northern Trust is still locally controlled. The CBOT and MERC may have experienced increased volume, but, their global market share is down. The floating of the the trading entities in Chicago is a retirement plan for seat-owners, but, any secure location for the computers and servers could perform the functions that Chicago's exchanges now perform. Funds from the Exchanges that used to go into overnight deposits in 'local' banks now search the highest overnight deposit rates on a global electronic basis. With the demise of open/outcry trading, electronic trading can be facilitated anywhere with an Internet connection. The demise of the Chicago and region's middle-class is overtly demonstrative. Caucasians are now the minority in the Chicago Public Schools. Where earlier waves of immigration into Chicago and the surrounding area brought physicians, physicists, scholars of all kinds, master plumbers, electricians, lathe operators and other highly skilled people from Germany, Russia, Hungary, Poland, etc; recent immigrants/migrants posses few marketable - let alone 'high-end', skills. The consequences of Chicago being a self-declared 'sanctuary city' are overt and of profound ramifications.
So, keep on spending [our money] while you can; those of us with any sense [or cents] are expatriating our assets and are soon to follow them - out of the dire state of the State of Illinois.

As mentioned above I callz 'em as I seez 'em while refusing to be caught up in Political Plalabber which I feel Rauner is guilty of. if HE WINS the GOP nod he will not get my Vote. Not only on his claim of Term Limits, but his earlier comment about lowering the Minimum Wage which is an issue where I think "He Shot Himself in the Foot." It is quite unfortunate that Politics have become so divisive. I thought these Politicians were supposed to work for the People and not themselves. Perhaps that is the direction we need to insist they strive for.

Stuart Pearson` March 6, 2014 at 08:42 am
Hello Phaedrus, and All:
I am against Lowering the Minimum Wage Period.

Public" attempt to live my life. We've become so entangled in this Web of "Special Interest Groups" regardless of Political affiliation that we must somehow find a way out. Further, I don't have much faith in the Tea Party as they are too obstructionist in their stance and thus block legislation such as extending Unemployment Benefits, etc.

It's subtle and uses political correctness as its most effective method of brow-beating anyone who believes in tradition.

Bernhard Willhelm X Camper
Camper Toðer is a new initiative from Camper enabling the Majorcan footwear company to work with designers, giving their brand and styles a modern look and feel. The first to take part in the program is Bernhard Willhelm. I must admit when I first heard of the collaboration some time back, I was shocked, but in hindsight, I shouldn't have been. Its a strong initiative and also fitting with Bernhard Willhelm's latest collection.
"I wanted to apply ethical and ecological criteria in the making of this shoe collection. I would like people to keep these criteria in mind when they are choosing a shoe". ~ Bernhard Willhelm
The collection, for men and women are now available at Camper retailers.

Here's the list of Bills players released Friday: quarterback Matt Leinart, running backs Zach Brown and Kendall Gaskins, wide receiver Brandon Kaufman, tight ends Dorin Dickerson and Nick Provo, tackle Zebrie Sanders, guards Antoine Caldwell and Zack Chibane, center David Snow, defensive lineman Jarron Gilbert, linebackers Kourtnei Brown, Keith Pough and Brian Smith, cornerbacks Crezdon Butler, T.J. Heath and Kip Edwards, and safety Jordan Dangerfield.
Curiously, one name not among the cuts list is veteran linebacker Bryan Scott, despite the fact that Tim Graham of The Buffalo News confirmed he'd been released earlier in the day. Graham once again clarifies:
I'm told Bills now are trying to trade Bryan Scott before tomorrow's 6 p.m. deadline to make final cuts.

The release of four offensive linemen leaves just eight on the roster, and that total includes Doug Legursky, who appeared to be seriously injured on Thursday night.
Buffalo's coaching staff looks as if they'll take another night to sleep on some very difficult decisions along the defensive line, where they currently have eight players. Gilbert was released, but it's extremely unlikely that all three of Corbin Bryant, Torell Troup and Izaan Cross will be on the team.
Out of the cut list above, only Leinart, Dickerson, Caldwell, Snow, Gilbert and Butler do not have practice squad eligibility.
Here's an updated Bills depth chart containing the 55 players that remain on the active roster this evening.
