Oh, That Explains the Difference? or Why is Equal Pay for Equal Work so hard to translate into reality?
9/29/2011 | (2) | Add your Comment
Women's demands for equal pay for equal work are as old as history. European societies provide abundant documentation of such claims. Why? Because male authorities decreed that women who worked for pay should only receive one-half to two-thirds the pay of men. This was long before the "male-breadwinner model" began to be explicitly laid out.
Already in the year 1348, municipal authorities in Marseille set the wages for workers: 4 sous a day for men and 2 sous 6 deniers for women. [Such laws also dictated what women could or couldn't wear in the way of gold, silver, and jewelry].
Flash forward! In 1869, in the first issue of Le Droit des Femmes, the feminist Maria Deraismes claimed equal pay as one of the objectives for the French women's rights movement, a claim that would be repeated incessantly for the next 75 years.
When the Swiss women's rights publication Le Mouvement féministe first appeared in Geneva in 1912, its motto was "A travail égal, salaire égal." In translation: "for equal work, equal pay." There was nothing hard to understand about this demand.
The Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended World War I, founded the International Labour Organization and contained a proviso guaranteeing equal pay for equal work. All signatories to the Treaty promised to support this proviso, among many others.
In France, the principle of equal pay for equal work was finally instituted in 1946, by the decree of 30 July 1946. Other European countries have also agreed, at least in theory, to this principle. But enforcing it has been another story.
At the United Nations in March 1948, the Economic and Social Council approved "the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value for men and women workers."
In December 1948 Eleanor Roosevelt insisted that the principle of equal pay for equal work be included in Article 23.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. "Everyone without any discriminhation, has the right to equal pay for equal work."
In 1986 The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution on the role of women in society, in which (among other provisions) it invited member states "to encourage such social and economic development as will ensure the equal participation of women in all spheres of work activity, equal pay for work of equal value, and equal opportunities for education and vocational training."
So why are American women today still having to demand equal pay for equal work? Why in 2011 do we need to designate a day (April 12, 2011) as Equal Pay Day?
Clio would like your ideas: Why is it taking so long to write Equal Pay into the laws of the United States? Why in other countries, even when equal pay for equal work is mandated by law, is it so difficult to enforce this law? What are the obstacles that stand in the way of this eminently fair demand?
Eleanor Roosevelt and America's Working Women
2/9/2011 | (0) | Add your Comment
Clio attended a book party last weekend for a long-time author-colleague and friend. The book is called "She Was One of Us: Eleanor Roosevelt and the American Worker," and the author is Brigid O'Farrell, a sociologista and political activist who "backed into history" in order to understand how certain developments came about concerning women's employment.
Brigid discovered that in all the many publications concerning Eleanor Roosevelt (ER, 1888-1962, first lady of the US from 1933 to 1945, thanks to her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt's nearly four full terms as president), she found virtually no information about Mrs. Roosevelt's relationship with the labor movement, which began with issues facing women in the workforce.
She decided to do something about eliminating that gap in our knowledge. This book is the happy result of her research.
Our author learned that Eleanor Roosevelt was extremely engaged in addressing the plight of working women in particular, and tried to do many things to assist them. Importantly, she became a staunch advocate of equal pay for equal work and asserted that labor rights were human rights. One of her enduring partnerships was with the Women's Trade Union League, headed by the remarkable Rose Schneiderman, an immigrant from Russian Poland.
The first chapter of this book is "Why Women Should Join Unions." There O'Farrell tells the story of how ER met Rose Schneiderman in 1922, invited her over for supper and asked her why women should join unions. She quotes Schneiderman's reply: "I remember so well telling her that that was the only way working people could help themselves. I pointed to the unions of skilled men and told her how well they were doing. By contrast, women were much worse off because they were less skilled or had no skills and could be easily replaced if they complained. They were working for $3.00 a week for nine or ten hours a day, often longer." (Schneiderman & Goldthwaite, pp. 150-51).
The book tells us how ER joined the Women's Trade Union League and worked with its finance and education committees. With women now voting, in 1924 she chaired an advisory committee on women's issues for the Democratic National committee, which endorsed equal pay for equal work and the right to organize unions and bargain collectively – the committee's recommendations were rejected by the men who then controlled the Democratic Party!
The story goes on and it is fascinating!
Brigid O'Farrell remarks: "As ER's reform ideas developed, her mutually beneficial relationship with labor deepened. Her dialogue with labor activists clarified issues that arose in the workplace and in politics. At the same time, organized labor provided a grass-roots platform for her broader reform agenda. During her twelve years as first lady, she built on her accomplishments and skills to expand her labor concerns beyond the problems of working women to include economic and social rights for all workers. After FDR's death she took her agenda to the United Nations, where she led an international team to craft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which included the right to join a union." And equal pay for equal work. It was at the United Nations, of course, that she used her tea table diplomacy to such good effect.
Clio says: Everyone interested in ER, the politics of women's employment, and the complex story of women's participation in organized labor more generally, will appreciate this thought-provoking book.

Abigail Adams, Entrepreneurial Woman Extraordinaire
1/16/2011 | (0) | Add your Comment
Abigail Smith Adams (1744-1818) is perhaps best known as the second "First Lady" of the United States. What is less well known is that she became an enterprising woman and sole support of her family when, in the 1770s and 1780s her husband John Adams effectively gave up his law practice for public service. He was instrumental in launching the American Revolution against the British, serving as a member of the Continental Congress from Massachusetts and later representing the fledgling nation to (and negotiating with) the major European powers, in Amsterdam, in Paris, and in London. For over 20 years of their 54-year old marriage, Abigail and her "dearest friend" lived mostly apart, though keeping closely in touch through letters.
Abigail Adams first took over operation of the family farm, managing its tenants and coping with a shortage of farm hands and rising labor costs. She then turned to merchandising and brokering – selling desirable and scarce goods such as chinaware, calico, handkerchiefs and ribbons that John sent to her by ship from Europe. She also speculated in land and acquired extensive holdings, in the face of troubles with currency inflation, counterfeit paper money, and increasing taxation. All this she did in an era when wives were technically deprived of property and the ability to make financial transactions – but she accomplished all this in John's name, serving in effect as her husband's "deputy."
Her biographer, Edith B. Gelles, describes Abigail's activities in these terms, quoting from her very extensive correspondence, which has become a treasure of American history and literature:
"Since she could not own property in her own right, she was obliged to inform John [12 July 1782] that 'You are named in the Charter as original proprietor, so no deed was necessary.' Ironic indeed that John now owned over 1,600 acres of Vermont which he did not want, purchased by Abigail, who had the courage to speculate and the cleverness to negotiate for land she could not legally possess. If the situation appeared unjust to Abigail, she did not write about such a reaction in her surviving letters."
"The Adamses didn't become rich, but that was not Abigail's ambition. Her aim was to maintain the family, to feed, clothe, and educate her children without going into debt. She found that a satisfying goal."
For most women, economic enterpreneurship has been and remains first and foremost about survival. The remarkable Abigail Adams was no exception.

Clio recently stumbled on a story about a Danish woman who in 1924 undertook farming on the tiny island of Sprogoe (Sprogø), which lies in the straits west of the island of Zeeland and east of the island of Funen. A home for women (apparently wayward women – or "pathologically promiscuous" according to Wikipedia) had been established there circa 1923, and Miss Dagmar Kristensen took on the challenge of making this Institute sustainable and self-sufficient.
At that time, the island boasted of little more than an old lighthouse and quantities of seagulls. By proving that women could develop and maintain a major farm, Miss Kristensen sought to combat existing prejudices as to what women could accomplish.
Here is the story, as reported in the Danish women's press (and subsequently translated in the International Women's News in 1931).
"Miss Dagmar Kristensen was the first Danish woman to be nominated to a Town Council (1910), and since that time she worked steadily on her own farm for 14 years, when she came into the limelight again in connection with the Farming Institute on Sprogoe. In 1923 the island of Sprogoe was made over by the State to the Kellerske Commission for the foundation of a Woman's Home calculated to take about 43 women of all ages between 16 and 50 from all parts of the country. The land was to be cultivated partly from the point of view of utility and partly in order to provide work for those women who were fit for it.
"During the first year a man was put in charge of the farming but it was soon evident that a man was not suitable for the position, and when Miss Kristensen was invited to take it over she accepted and went to Sprogoe in the Autumn of 1924. The fact that a woman was to superintend the farming was met with skepticism from many sides, for agriculture on Sprogoe has always been neglected and yielded little. All the men who have leased the island from the State at a yearly rental of 300 Kroner have been reduced to poverty so the sceptics reasoned thus: if men are not capable of cultivating the land on Sprogoe how could a woman do it? But if one considers that the "men" only plowed a small proportion of the land available it is easy to understand the reason of their poverty.
"When Miss Kristensen came to the island there were only about 135 acres (55 hectares) under cultivation, the rest was left to nature – and the gulls – a peaceful growing place for thistles and other troublesome weeds, but an Eldorado for gulls and their young, though these legions of birds must surely in the course of time have contributed to making the ground fertile and it has only been waiting for people to come and cultivate and utilise it. When the property was made over to the Woman's Home a certain amount of stock was acquired and when Miss Kristensen arrived there were 10 milch cows, 8 young cattle, 2 horses and some pigs. She was then faced with the problem of making the island produce as much food as possible for the animals and consequently also for the inhabitants, so that the least possible would have to be bought and imported. So she set her mind to plowing and during the first year she plowed nearly 500 acres (200 hectares) and sowed as much as possible. But the earth also needed lime and luckily Miss Kristensen also managed to find a lime deposit so that it was not necessary to incur the expense of bringing this by sea, though a considerable amount of work was involved in digging up the lime, transporting it, distributing it and plowing it down. One can understand now that the daily round of work – seeing that the animals were looked after properly and the milking done correctly, and all the agricultural work necessary to cultivate the area of nearly 700 acres (300 hectares) now involved – was strenuous enough for one person, especially as she usually only had the assistance of three girls of the not so specially energetic type for 6 hours a day, but nevertheless Miss Kristensen herself found extra time and energy for developing the land. There were many both small and large swamps on the estate which caused much harm and annoyance; these she filled up, using at least 8000 cart loads, as she estimates. The large courtyard of the farm was soft and uneven so she covered it with gravel and stones, doing this work in the evenings. And of course there were no roads leading out to the fields – she had to lay these herself, an undertaking involving much heavy work and careful calculation. She says herself that when the weather was favourable she worked from 5 in the morning till 11 at night. In 1925 one of the girls set fire to the Institute and most of it was burnt down, though the animals were saved thanks to the courage and energy of Miss Kristensen, who also took out of the burning stables the bull which no-one else dared to approach.
"During the following three years new buildings were erected, larger and more modern than the previous, with accommodation for 50 people and with a special laundry, sewing room, weaving room, etc. Under these improved conditions, the stock was increased and the stables enlarged, and new barns were built to store the extra machinery and larger crops. All these enterprises also laid claim on the woman farmer's time and strength, for all the material had to be fetched from the landing-place and the necessary quantity of sand collected from the beach and carted to the building place.
"No wonder then that the agricultural specialists of the Committee of the Rigsdag [Parliament], which inspected the Woman's Home exclaimed: "But how is it you have been able to do all this work" and she could only answer with the question: 'Who else was there to do it?'
"When Miss Kristensen now returns to her own home after 7 strenuous years she can look out over 700 acres (300 hectares) of cultivated land, clover fields, corn – turnip – and potato fields and a collection of stock that has grown to 15 milch cows, 8 large cattle, 3 horses and one bull. The whole island has in fact entirely altered in character. Miss Kristensen leaves Sprogoe in the knownedge that her work has resulted in an economic gain to the whole community, since much more food is being produced for the Institute than formerly. The last year's accounts show this in a nutshell. Her pioneer work will also be of incalculable value to her successor.
"Last but not least Miss Kristensen herself points out that the work she has accomplished during these 7 years has been done for the honour of the woman's movement, as the scepticism with which she was met spurred her on to prove that a woman is capable of doing what has always been called a man's work but which has time and again been neglected by men."
Clio's thoughts: In our own time, when so much attention is focused on women's economic empowerment, it is heartening to know that women in earlier times have also found empowerment through agricultural work – and have received recognition for their accomplishments.
However, Miss Kristensen's work was ultimately not sustainable. The Women's Home closed in 1959 and today, no one lives permanently on the island of Sprogoe (Sprogø), which is now connected to its neighboring islands both by train and automobile bridges. Did Miss Kristensen's efforts in developing farming there go for naught? Did her efforts succeed in empowering the women who had been sent to the Women's Home? Is there any marker to acknowledge her work?

Today's Instagram pics are a visual feast for the eyes. First up we've got Cara Delevigne who has been literally feasting on a packet of Monster Munch while wearing bonkers lipstick, pink ankle socks and clashing prints. The photo is almost as vibrant as the "Sensory overload" which Poppy D posted on her own account, featuring Hindu statues.
Moving on to Kim Kardashian's Christian Louboutin collection. Anyone who's studied Kim's style will know that when this lady likes something, she's buying it in every colour. It looks like the rule extends to Loub stilettos which she owns in yellow, nude, silver and red. Let's hope pregnancy doesn't make those ankles swell!
Alexa Chung has been taking a bit of time out from presenting and being a style icon to DJ at for Marni. AC had her best friend Tennessee Thomas in tow as she hit the decks in store wearing a green top by Marni - natch.
And finally, actress Chloe Moretz claims she has the "Most. Amazing. Nails" and we're inclined to agree. The design features a nude and green Chanel-esque tweed pattern. Get practicing in time for next week's Manicure Monday.

Video Tutorial: Basic Visualization
Bethany Nine | November 2, 2012
I'm back on the blog with the latest installment in the Postprocessing and Visualization Videos series. The two-part video shown here covers "Basic Visualization". Chapter 1 and 2 will give you an overview of COMSOL's visualization tools so that you can optimize how you view your model, both while setting up your physics and while postprocessing. I explain two tricks in the video that I'd like to draw your attention to in particular.
1. The Measure Tool
The measure tool provides you with useful information about your geometry that can help you when setting up your model or postprocessing. For example, use this tool to retrieve information such as the coordinates of a point, the distance between two points, the length of a line, the surface area of a boundary, and even the number assigned to a geometric entity (Boundary 5, Point 112, etc.).
2. The Ability to Hide Parts of your Geometry
Hiding parts of your geometry is a particularly useful technique when you have features on the interior of your model that you'd like to view more clearly without being hidden behind the outer features. Also, you can choose to plot only part of your data so that you can focus on the results from the regions of most interest. There are two ways to do this, and both will be explained in the videos below.

Back in July 2012 the news broke that Rihanna was to design a capsule collection with UK high street stalwart River Island. Since then we've had teaser after teaser from the Barbadian singer including a sneaky picture tweeted from the campaign shoot (starring Brit model Jourdan Dunn) and confirmation from River Island that the navy blue suede jumpsuit that RiRi stepped out wearing in November was a piece from her debut collection.
Now it's been confirmed that the star will unveil the range in full with an exclusive catwalk show at London Fashion Week. The invitation-only event will take place on February 16 and not only are we super excited to see Rihanna's take on high street fashion, but also the show itself which is guaranteed to be a high profile affair.
RiRi herself revealed: "Launching at London Fashion Week is a dream come true for me. I have wanted to design my own collection for a long time and to present my collection for River Island alongside all of the other great design talent at LFW is a real privilege. I can't wait to see the reaction from my fans and the fashion press!"
Unfortunately for those desperate to snap up RiRi's debut design efforts, you won't be able to get your paws on the collection until March 5 when it launches internationally in River Island stores and online.

I have sinusitis pretty regularly. We have lots of dust in Arizona and I picked up a sinus infection last March. The infection ignored two antibiotics. I purchase this product based on a study by the Mayo Clinic that most sinus infections are fungal in nature and antibotics would not work. I have used collidal silver in soap form for other fungus problems and thought this product was worth a try. I have always been pleased with Source Natural products so I selected their brand. Although the infection is still there,it was fully intrenched for 6 months before trying, along with blockages in the canals. I have worked for the last three weeks to break up the blockages with good results. The methods I have used along with this wonderful product have improved my breathing and, most surprisingly, my hearing as well. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is susceptable to sinus infections. I do follow the instructions and use it only for 10 days. I use other flushes and cleaning for another 10 days and then go back on the colloidal silver, each time getting further into the canals. Hopefully, this persistance will clear up the infection over time.

but not as fast as he'd like.. so we also added oregano and olive leaf (from here on iherb) since they say 80% sinus infections are FUNGAL/mold..NOT bacterial(which is why antibiotics make them WORSE) so after adding those two his nose cleared LOTS im just a week.
Really opens up the sinuses

My sinuses are ok but have rhinitis and 1 of 2 nights I can't sleep. My right nostril is usually blocked. I 've tried anything and didn't work. Only the drug "otrivin" worked, but it has bad chemicals and is unhealthy long term. This product SAVED ME!! I spray only my right nostril and after a few minutes I breath easily again! I will advertise it to any person I know with breathing problems!

Boss of Stage and Screen
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley recalls Springsteen's career contributions to the movies.
WASHINGTON - Back in the early '70s, when The Boss was still a debt-ridden employee caught in a legal battle with producer Mike Appell, Bruce Springsteen's lyrics were overly dense and complicated. The struggling E Street artist sat on an unfinished "Born to Run" album with the notion, "More than rich, more than famous, more than happy, I wanted to be great."
One day, a new producer came in with advice that changed his career and altered the course of music and movie history. He instructed Springsteen to write more cinematically.
"One phrase that we would use ... was the 'sound picture,' what kind of picture was the sound of the record suggesting," producer Jon Landau said.
Suddenly, Springsteen was painting vivid portraits in a sort of visual storytelling through song, like these from "Thunder Road."
Screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Drummer Max Weinberg noticed a difference. "Now you had this vast cinematic landscape," he said.
If Landau had planted Springsteen's cinematic seeds, they were fertilized by the arrival of Terrence Malick's film about the Starkweather homicides, "Badlands" (1973). Starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, the film colored the leadoff tracks for two of Springsteen's next three albums, first the title of 1978's "Badlands," and then the subject matter of 1982's "Nebraska." Springsteen reportedly saw Malick's film on TV and recreated the image of Charles Starkweather meeting Caril Ann Fugate:
I saw her standin' on her front lawn just a-twirlin' her baton.
Me and her went for a ride, sir, and 10 innocent people died
Soon after, screenwriter Paul Schrader, who penned Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" (1976) and "Raging Bull" (1980), asked The Boss to write the title song for his next film, "Born in the U.S.A." The film ultimately changed titles to "Light of Day" (1987), with a title song also written by Springsteen for Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox. While "Born in the U.S.A." became his most famous album, giving us Courteney Cox in a music video and a controversial campaign theme for Hollywood's "Gipper," American Songwriter magazine named "Light of Day" its Favorite Movie Song in 2011:
Been driving five hundred miles, got five hundred to go, yeah
I got rock and roll music on the radio
I got a brother on a rig just off the Gulf coast
He says the girls down there, well they're really the most, man
As Springsteen entered the '90s, he also entered his movie music prime. Crushed by the gay community's criticism of his transvestite villain in "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991), director Jonathan Demme set out to tackle the taboo subject of AIDS in the movie "Philadelphia" (1993), starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. To open the film, Demme took a page from Elton John's "Amoreena" opening of "Dog Day Afternoon" (1975) and asked Springsteen to write an original song to layer his own opening montage. The result was "Streets of Philadelphia," which won Springsteen an Oscar, a Grammy and ranked No. 68 on the AFI's Top 100 Movie Songs.
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia
Springsteen's political statements shifted from gay rights to capital punishment with his title song for the movie "Dead Man Walking" (1995), about a nun empathizing with both a convicted killer on death row and his victim's families. Susan Sarandon won the Academy Award for Best Actress, while actor Sean Penn, director Tim Robbins and Springsteen also got Oscar nominations. The Boss lost Best Original Song to "Colors of the Wind" from Disney's "Pocahontas" (1995), with music by Alan Menken ("The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin") and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz ("The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Enchanted"). Springsteen's lyrics were indeed much darker:
There's a pale horse coming
And I'm gonna ride him
I'll rise in the mornin'
My fate decided
I'm a dead man walkin'
The loss to "Pocahontas" was ironic, considering Springsteen's favorite movie as a kid was John Ford's "The Searchers" (1956), where John Wayne's anti-hero struggles with racism toward Native Americans. Fittingly, that same year, Springsteen tipped his cap to Ford with his next album, "The Ghost of Tom Joad," an obvious reference to Ford's "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940), starring Henry Fonda in John Steinbeck's tale of the Great Depression. Like "Working on a Dream" and "We Take Care of Our Own," the populist lyrics paint working class Americans as modern day Tom Joads:
Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
The Boss next proved his movie music range by collaborating on one of the best romances ever done, Cameron Crowe's "Jerry Maguire" (1996). "Secret Garden" played as Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger spoke lines like, "You complete me" and "You had me at hello." The combo was so effective that radio stations played the movie quotes over the song, paving the way for Celine Dion's song in "Titanic" (1997). The lyrics of "Secret Garden" tell of the vast secrets within a woman's heart:
She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
Shell let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
Springsteen continued down a similar path by making a cameo in "High Fidelity" (2000). Actor John Cusack originally wanted Bob Dylan for the cameo, but when he was unavailable, he called on Springsteen, who appears in a vision as Cusack lies in bed. As the vision disappears, Cusack says, "Thanks, boss," followed by "Good luck, goodbye," the last line of Springsteen's "Bobby Jean."
Most recently, Springsteen provided the title song for Darren Aronofsky's "The Wrestler" (2008). Its lyrics tell of an aging pro wrestler (Mickey Rourke), but also speak to all down-and-outers trying to hang on amid a broken personal life. Springsteen reportedly offered to do the song for free, and it went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Original Song and earn yet another Grammy nomination:
These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display
Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me
Now entering his fifth decade of music, Springsteen is still cranking out songs and marathon concerts, like the one Friday at Nationals Park. We movie fans can only hope he continues to lend his talents to the silver screen, as he's one of the best at painting those visual pictures through his lyrics.
If you look at the country music charts today, you'll see Eric Church's tribute song "Springsteen" with the chorus, "Funny how a melody sounds like a memory, like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night." You see, The Boss does not just make music. He makes soundtracks to the visual images of our lives, the motion pictures of our memories. Springsteen is a lesson that great audio transcends sound, creating a picture in our heads, a vision that dances across the porch as the radio plays.

WASHINGTON - A brawl Friday afternoon at the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro station in downtown D.C. involved a large crowd of young people and led to a handful of arrests, authorities say.
Fox 5 reports the fight started at about 4 p.m. while students were heading home from school and may have been the result of an ongoing rivalry between students at two D.C. high schools.
"There was a conference call prior to this fight where we were advised of the potential for youth disorder," Metro spokesperson Dan Stessel tells Fox 5. "We actually had additional officers at Gallery Place."
Despite the added police presence, the brawl grew too large and the officers were forced to call for backup. About a half-dozen juveniles were arrested, Fox 5 says.
The chief of Metro Transit Police reportedly is working to set up a meeting with D.C. police and school officials in the wake of the incident.
Fox 5 says there was also a fight at Union Station Thursday, and investigators are working to determine whether the two incidents are connected.
Footage of the fight is below (Warning: Contains language some may find offensive):

Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
The next item in Gear Live's 2012 Holiday Gift Guide is the Kindle Paperwhite. Why? well, as great as e-ink readers have been (and they've been pretty stellar,) since the original Amazon Kindle was released, their one tragic flaw has been that they become pretty useless in the dark. You either simply can't read them, or have to use a small light attachment accessory. Enter the Kindle Paperwhite. Amazon has designed what we consider to be the best e-ink reader to hit the market. It's flagship feature is the front-lit display, which works great when you're in the dark and want to read your latest ebook purchase without using a backlit tablet that's hard on the eyes, or an awkward clip-on light accessory. It also supports new features like telling you how much reading time you have before you finish your current chapter, and an all-touch display with virtually no lag. Check out our Kindle Paperwhite review, unboxing gallery, and video after the break for more, and head on over to Amazon to pick up the Kindle Paperwhite for $119 for that bookworm in your life.

It has not been public investments in sustainable fuels and modern tools that have led to the re-awakening of the U.S. economy. Rather, it's been mostly private investment in shale gas development...
Policy Shift: 2009 Law & Lawyers Report
Legal and regulatory changes are transforming the industry.
and RTOs.
"FERC has generated a lot of controversy, for better or worse, by involving themselves in issues that heretofore have been the province of the states," Fallon says. "But it shouldn't be news to anybody that FERC has to work through transmission issues. As an energy policy matter, if the country wants to move a lot of wind generation out of the Midwest, and solar generation from Arizona to California, then we'll have to drastically rethink [transmission-cost allocation] issues."
Case by case, docket by docket, that rethinking process is happening across the country. And while many stakeholders agree that FERC eventually will need to assert its authority to establish clearer rules for transmission planning and cost allocation, they remain skeptical that FERC will do the right thing with its authority. Memories of the commission's abortive standard-market design initiative under Chairman Pat Wood remain fresh in the industry's collective mind.
"Pushing down a federal policy on states isn't going to work," says Cliff Sikora, a partner and co-lead of the energy practice group at Troutman Sanders. "Ultimately there has to be a partnership, where a state can make its decisions as to how it wants to source its energy, and those decisions go hand-in-glove with federal policy. How that partnership gets worked out has yet to be seen, but it has to be reconcilable."
The trick will be working it out in a way that accommodates regional differences and also achieves overriding national policy goals—all while delivering the greatest value for the least cost to ratepayers. Such a utopian ideal might be unachievable, but the industry's advocates insist that FERC has no choice but to keep working toward it, if only because the alternatives are worse.
"You can't get away from having a market design," says Donald J. Sipe, a partner with Preti Flaherty. "The failure to have a certain type of market design is itself a market design. It's less helpful and efficient than making a conscious choice, and it might lead to a clumsy result.
"I don't think FERC will ever be able to get off the market-design horse," he says.
Market Mashup
The major energy policy debates proceeding in America today might be distilled to a pair of questions: 1) What is the purpose of competition in U.S. electric and gas markets? and 2) What regulatory mechanisms will best ensure competitive markets achieve their purpose? These aren't new questions, and how the industry's leaders and lawmakers answer them largely determines the direction of energy policy at federal, regional and state levels.
"One school of thought suggests regulation should just set up a system of markets based on the commodity model and let the prices fall where they may," Sipe says. "The other says the purpose is to produce rates that are just and reasonable."
Over time, these viewpoints fundamentally shape U.S. energy markets, and produce the signals policy makers attempt to send through regulations. As various market forces play out, and as social trends evolve and shift direction, policy makers respond with changes in regulations and market structures—for better

That was..um..an enlightening piece of writing there, Gruurk.
Especially the parts where Warriors are the best boss tanks and Disc priests can't heal.
Video, was ok with the only exception on mention of the Disp. As a tank I will not have a Disp Priest in the raid. Especially on me! I will have either a Holy Pally or Holy Priest. There isn't anything better than to really get healed. Bubbling isn't healing and thus a Disp priest arent healing. I've tanked since WoW has started as a Druid tank. Ive tanked as a Warrior, Druid, Pally and DK. If you have a Disp Priest on a warrior or Druid and they just bubble then you are hosing your tank and they aren't going to hold the aggro. Hence, no Disp priest arent allowed any raid I run. You will have to be spec holy, holy main/off spec or find yourself a new guild! Disp priest are really a joke as MH and OH. Very long story short; because I tanked as a warrior on Darrowmere I was role reversed as a priest on this server. I have healed most of this expansion. So I have very clear picture of both sides now.
Due to the recession my old guild is dead and am now am going back to tanking again and much happier as a pally tank. Having the warrior back would have been better. I still think Warriors are the best boss tank and pallies are the best trash tank.
Run a 50% bubbling Disp priest only sim vs a holy heal sim if you dont believe me. See what happens. Really getting healed; there is nothing like it. And I have an out of sight repair bill to prove it too as a holy priest. Disp priest did nothing more than bubbling the whole time.
Disp Priest; L2Heal

That was..um..an enlightening piece of writing there, Gruurk.
Especially the parts where Warriors are the best boss tanks and Disc priests can't heal.
Dollars to donuts that guy has the gear score mod installed and swears by it.
Probably also validates his own bias every time he raids by linking healing meters in recount and mocking the disc priest.
If you are traumatized to have a Discipline Priest near you as a Warrior or Druid, learn how to tank properly. Regardless what age you may live in.
Vanilla it was a small issue being bubbled, but you learned how to adjust if that was the case. By Burning Crusade I couldn't care less if I was bubbled, and especially in this age being bubbled means nothing unless you're overgeared for the content in which case you'll be rage starved anyway. In that last scenario, stuff dies fast enough it hardly matters.
I've played this game since launch as a tank, whether it be Druid or Warrior and I've never had problems being bubbled. Ever. It could be that I started with a good friend of mine that made the choice to be a Priest that was liberal with his bubble button. Regardless, if you know what you're doing, you have nothing to be afraid of if you get bubbled.
Discipline Priests are amazing healers, especially now.
Great guide Aliena, very helpful for the Priest I'm leveling.
"Upon an order we plead, with the lure of a song, a sacred song, to the moon and the stars. An illusionary light is here placed."
Bubbles have no affect on rage the only tanks that suffer are paladins when they severely out gear instances.
Bubbles are often very useful if not overpowered.
Disc priests can be very good tank healers when required not as good as paladins but pretty much on par with every other tank healer class. Still you are better off now days using disc priests as a burst tank healer and raid mitigator...
Your experiance is kinda rofl, I could NEVER do what I do in 10 mans as holy prehaps you ought to look before you speak and think before you act?
I've already had someone like you on the WoW forums tell me absorption isn't healing and no its not its better than healing, it never needs to be healed the damage is effectively removed and effectively the player with a shield gains 8k EH. Which is probably better than ANY class for burst damage control especially when you combine the fastest strongest single target heal in the game (yes it may have a cooldown but its still powerful).
"Grats on being king on recount meter. Perhaps you could do an internet search and look for things call Guessabosbs, World of logs or wow online meter. Oh. you don't know whats that, k... no wonder you fail."
What's STRANGE is that my alt is warrior tank and in a raid if i were to chose Disc or Holy to HEAL ME. I will never chose Holy. if your having problem holding aggo as tank BECAUSE a disc priest is healing you...
A. Current xpansion/content, IF you cannot hold aggo as tank for most fights (less off like 10% of some fights). Can NEVER be dued to no rage/mana. so just...DELETE ALL your tanks. you are just pure fail.
B. If you are just back in game and have PHOBIA on disc priest's shield obstruct rage/mana, please go and read up Aliena's Disc priest guide and read up more on warrior/druid tank for this xpansion and how pally tank can easily rollface and get back mana WITHOUT being heal.
So, stop failing and pick up your skill(aka L2P) or STOP LIVING IN THE PAST and come back to present.
gruurk seems to me, an obvious troll....better suited for the official forums...
"bubbling" virtually increases your total HP. so that you can actually take a big algalon hit and survive (tank), and in freya for the ground tremor (raid). for actual content, just look for twin valks absorbs. those are just two lil examples. im pretty sure you're just joking, i just couldn't read your post and say nothing :P
to clarify our fellow priests that came here to learn and improve their game:
1) disc priests are very powerful. id say they are mandatory for certain fights even.
2) they are very strong in their direct healing, but also in some fights they can greatly reduce the raid dmg. (Twins,Freya)
3) holy priest is the worst class in the game to heal a tank. you would need to go disc.
Imagine the amount of damage negation when the legendary mace comes into play. When it comes to raid healing, they are a bit weak.
With my priest (who is holy) I found that getting Body and Soul 2/2 and 4/5 Empowered healing with a full test of faith and empowered renew was the most effective in TOCG raiding. (With the no speed increase on Icehowel body and soul makes a large difference for ensuring everyone can move. However, other than that and the convince of 'sprinting' around, I don't see a whole lot of use in this talent. I'm just the person who enjoys running about with increased speed to move out of AOE or out of anub's kite path).
I admit not getting serendipity can cause some frustration with only relying on circle of healing and the 10 min CD Divine Hymn (really should have a shorter cool down) for AOE healing (I make up for that by spamming renew and some occasions holy nova(like on 10 tocg anub) which actually works nicely).
However, with the competition for raid heals, I discovered that I was not flash healing often (only when surge of light was up) and would rarely make use of Prayer of Healing cast reduction when serendipity was fully stacked. Because by the time I would cast it, very health would be actually restored, (Perhaps if I was a haste fan I would find this spell to be more useful).
I did some math and discovered that with my current haste, I would only get a .3216 less of a cast time with prayer of healing (with the 12% talent, .2144% with the 8% talent, and .1072% with the 4% talent)when there was a 3 stack of Serendipity. In the time it took me to cast that spell, I could circle of healing, use my surge of light proc and renew on everyone that would of been affected by prayer of healing.
Overall, I decided that renew was my favored healing spell (especially on twins) since it's an instant cast and will heal from 2.8-3.5K instantly non-crit. I'm almost always a raid healer and am competing with druids, another holy priest, and usually a restro shaman for heals, so it's a battle to out heal them.
I fail to see why you guys keep supporting a bad spec for healing. Holy is the only way to go for priest if the subject is healing. True Story: My old guild has died due to this recession and am more than likely not that far behind them. So I just joined a new guild this week. I have a Prot Pally and Holy Priest in it. We go to ONY10 but in this situation all of the normal tanks including myself aren't tanking it but we are going to heal it. We are going to use a Warrior MT and DK OT. We have one Disp Priest (normally Frost DK), one Restro Shammy (normally Prot Pally) and me as a holy priest (Prot Pally). We wipe, wipe and wipe in the 2nd phase. No matter how much we tried; it didn't happen.
The reports from the encounter indicated that I out healed (Holy) the lot followed by the restro shammy and then Disp was dead last on healing (has about 150 more points in gear). The Disp Priest was bubbling like normal and I think dpsing as well. I was too busy to watch because I had the OT and raid. So where is that great healing at? Remember bubbling a warrior or druid isn't good. It cuts into the rage and limits their ability to hold aggro. It's ok, in a moment of crisis and it's better to hold the tank up so you can get that heal in and take a risk to loose aggro for a brief moment. But constantly isnt going to work. I've been wrong before and don't mind if I am but show me that great prove because as an ex warrior/druid tank am not impressed. I still really miss my warrior when it comes to tanking.
So act like am from Missouri. Show me some proof.

Wiping repeatedly in Onyxia 10 has nothing to do with healing class makeup. People just failed.
and then Disp was dead last on healing (has about 150 more points in gear). The Disp Priest was bubbling like normal and I think dpsing as well.
Gee, maybe he was dead last because he was DPSing and because absorbs from shields don't show up on precious recount meters? (Why was he DPSing at all?)
Remember bubbling a warrior or druid isn't good. It cuts into the rage and limits their ability to hold aggro.
This is not true and has not been true for a long time. Sorry.
It's ok, in a moment of crisis and it's better to hold the tank up so you can get that heal in and take a risk to loose aggro for a brief moment. But constantly isn't going to work.
Again, not true. Even if it WERE true (Which it still isn't) if a tank lost aggro because of a PW:S, they would be doing something terribly wrong.
Healing meters are a TERRRIBLE way of measureing anything, anyway. The very fact that you're using them as a way to measure that one class is better or worse than another is the first clue that your logic is flawed.
maybe Gruurk isn't a troll, but just misinformed....
meters = fail, until they count damage reduction as = to heals.
-5% aggro from bubble should not be a problem for any REAL tank.
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis
25 TOCG Faction champions, notice that both priests are disc. Now before you fluff your feathers and rant on saying something along the lines of "lol priests got out healed by paladins."
Look at the dispels.
There are many reasons why a disc priest will not beat cretin classes in healing meters, one of those reasons is because they are doing their jobs, dispelling.
I await your next misguided retort.
Just from what I've read about your failed attempt at Onyxia, the blame can't be put on anyone. Since you were clearly on alts, how are we to know how badly geared the group was? You can do Onyxia10 with one tank and one healer so three healers is a bit overkill unless you have a poorly geared raid. Bad DPS prolongs the fight and can cause healers to go OOM, a badly geared tank runs the risk of being destroyed by any combination of melee swings, cleaves, wing buffets, and flame breaths etc.. Since you say you've been wiping in Phase 2, it could be bad DPS, people failing at Deep Breath or Ignite Weapon/Blast Nova, tanks could be failing at picking stuff up causing more healing than is necessary, the list goes on.
The fact you keep trying to play the threat card also shows us that you still don't understand current tank mechanics. The amount of threat tanks do now is simpy stupid (particularly when played properly). I could care less if I was bubbled constantly on either of my Rage tanks. If you ever lose aggro after the first 5 seconds of a fight, you screwed up as a tank, or a DPS got a bit overzealous from the start. Hodir and Vezax hardmodes (easy modes I could care less about as enrage timers are extremely lax) are the only "threat sensitive" fights in the game and thus the only real cases where DPS would pull aggro after the tank has control. That's it. Not to mention 98% of everything in the game is tauntable. It's not hard to watch Omen to see who may be near you on threat and be able to taunt instantly should you lose aggro. The majority of DPS classes also have aggro drops of some form and intelligent ones know how to use them should the need ever arise (virtually never with a smart tank). Warriors can also juggle Vigilance, or Intervene people if the particular encounter allows for it.

"Upon an order we plead, with the lure of a song, a sacred song, to the moon and the stars. An illusionary light is here placed."
When you talk about heal meters, did you look at your overheals as well? We're you also top on overheals?
Like everyone in the thread has said, shields now give you some rage. On top of that, it's direct dmg mitigation and will definitely not show up on your heal meter but get this, if the shield absorbs 8k of dmg... that's equivalent to 2/3s of your gheal without crit and 1/2 of your gheal crit. On top of that, because of their talents, the disc priest can be casting another heal or shield while you're waiting for your next gheal.
I agree with Doc, maybe you're just sadly misinformed... perhaps you should take the time and re-study the changes since you went AWOL in WoW.
I disagree with statements like "Holy Priests make the worst tank healers."
1. Ability>Spec A good Holy Priest is a better tank healer than an average Disc Priest
2. I agree that a Disc Priest has a few more tricks up his sleeve than a Holy Priest for single target healing, but the Holy Tree does have Guardian Spirit (especially glyphed), Surge of Light Procs, Serendipity hasted Greater Heals, and Test of Faith, plus Circle of Healing and Empowered Renew giving Holy Priests the most true Instant Cast heals.
3. In terms of what class has the fewest tools for main tank healing, I'd have to vote for Resto Shaman. Not that I'd say a Resto Shammy couldn't MT heal, just that Holy Priest has a few more tricks which would give him a slight edge.
Given time to learn the ins and outs of tank healing, any class or spec can excel at this task. If I had to rank based on tools available, I'd put it like this:
Best tank healers (tie)--Disc Priest, Paladin
Very good tank healers (tie)--Resto Druid, Resto Shammy, Holy Priest
Bad tank healers--Rogues, Hunters, DK's, Warriors, Warlocks, Mages
Mostly, I'm objecting to the word "worst" used as though one was saying "A raid leader would have to be a total idiot to assign a Holy Priest to Main Tank healing duties."

Way over yonder in Berlin, Germany, the annual festival of media art and digital culture known as "transmediale" is just getting underway. This year's theme: BWPWAP (Back When Pluto Was a Planet).
Mike Brown, the astronomer who killed Pluto, was invited to speak at the festival's opening ceremony, which included a debate over Pluto's demotion and a vote to reinstate its planetary status. Brown, of course, accepted, and has been documenting the festival on twitter.
Here's where the festival is going down:
Judging from Brown's latest string of tweets, the Pluto debate is over, and the vote — conducted with yellow cards — has been carried out:
Aaaaand here's the final tally on the Resolution to reinstate Pluto:
BOOM. Pluto is denied. Again. As it damn well should be.
The Pluto vote at transmediale was all in good fun, but it's cool that an audience for a big art festivalhad no qualms dispatching Pluto.— Mike Brown (@plutokiller) January 29, 2013
And Brown, twitter handle still in good order, proceeds to Paris to continue spreading the good word:
My work in Berlin is clearly complete. On the Paris tomorrow. #Plutoisstilldead— Mike Brown (@plutokiller) January 29, 2013

- Wonderful gem of a restaurantSail8rDined on 8/8/2014We went there on a spur of the moment date night. We got there about half an hour before our friends, so my wife and I enjoyed a delicious bottle of wine and a few appetizers. All of our dinners were amazingly good and the special soufflé was such a treat. This is such a great place and I look forward to our next meal there. IF you go there, park in the restaurant lot, it is cheaper than the garage. A fair warning about the city of Montclair, ever square inch of parking in the city requires pay and they will ticket you in a heart beat.Special Features:

- Should Go More OftenKenMcLDined on 7/15/2014Each time we go to Montclair Bistro we ask ourselves why we don't go there more often. With a vibrant dining scene in Oakland we are often looking for the next great dining spot and yet there is Henry with such consistently great food just a short drive away. One of the things I particularly appreciate is that many of his entrees come with a small plate option. This allows me to have a cup of soup and an entree. Thank's Henry.Special Features:

Wouldn't accept the coupon they sent for the lobster "special" because it was too cheap -- I agree, too cheap. We've had good meals there in the past, but this was way sub-par.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/11/2014What happened to this restaurant? We dine here regularly and this meal was a disaster, start to finish. The drink order was incorrect. The pasta undercooked and clumped together like styrofoam; we sent it back and it returned to the table worse! One entree sauce was too sour, the other tasted like beef stock from a can. The chef came over and when we began to comment about our food and experience, he abruptly grabbed both plates and said we wouldn't be charged. He didn't listen, didn't seem to care and didn't explain or apologize. We asked for the check and left and we will not return again. As an aside, the service staff was, and always is, very professional.

- lovely experiencegnosherDined on 5/28/2014A neighbor and I enjoyed dinner at the Bistro. What a lovely experience. The waitstaff were attentive, prompt, and courteous. There was no sense of hurry. The presentation of the food superb, including the soup, which was poured at the table from ceramic tea pots. Getting down to the food itself, what more can I say? Perfectly seasoned steak, prepared to an exacting doneness. My friend's sand dabs were delicately flavored and the chef avoided the over/under preparation of cooking. Vegetables, such as sauteed spinach, could not have been cooked more perfectly. I plan on coming back and savoring other dishes. There are just a few restaurants that remain on my favorites list. Montclair Bistro has joined that place of honor.Special Features:
- Excellent brunchHollywoodDined on 5/25/2014Montclair Bistro has consistently good food. My friend loved their Tuscan Benedict. Their pancakes were good too. My only slight "issue" is that I wish they had told us that the bacon is Canadian. Not a fan. I like real bacon! Service was just right and so was the atmosphere. We will certainly return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Nice for Mother's Day DinnerJeff1946Dined on 5/11/2014We have a very nice dinner on Mother's Day. We had the fixed price menu and the food was very good. Our table was right next to the door way to the kitchen and so the ambience was not very good. The use of multiple servers was not very effective as the second server kept getting confused as to who was supposed to get which plate.Special Features:
- Terrible Mother's Day!food4thotDined on 5/11/2014No advertisement that brunch was a BUFFET which we usually avoid b/c of my daughter's phobia about eating off others' plates/utensils. Food was mediocre at best and EXPENSIVE...they did not assure that the dishes were replenished and a lot of mothers were waiting in the buffet line for more of the half-way decent items. Plates and serving utensils were were not available as needed. We had to constantly ask for more of the "bottomless" mimosas and dirty plates to be removed. They started clearing the food service tables at least 1 1/2 hours before the 2:00 p.m. end of "brunch"! It was like they just wanted your $44/ person and could care less about your holiday experience.
- Customer Service,Customer ServedChristmasEverDined on 5/11/2014As always, greeted with a smile and hello. and for once we were couple minutes early and had to wait two minutes to be seated. my guest and I were notably greeted by the head waiter (maybe, because we go there for almost every special day) New Years Eve most notable in my book. The visual garnish display was fabulous and of course had to pick at each and everyone, the food was nothing other than expected good and plentiful. As always I start at the carver station for the ham, work my way backward. And don't forget the mouse at the other end of the room. some had to have seconds, but I pride myself in chefs chocolate heaven three times. thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

For dessert we tried tiramisu which was very unique and absolutely delicious, and coconut panna cotta that was light and perfectly set off by a mango sauce. We would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet because few customersWhymeVIPDined on 3/22/2014We went on a Saturday evening at 7:00 pm. The restaurant had few customers. We were surprised as the food was delicious and the service timely. The same as when we had been there before.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was just okOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/14/2014We've been here several times since it's in the neighborhood. The service is really good; the food has been subpar. For one of our recent entrees, the shrimp was so undercooked it was in edible. It was taken off the bill, but otherwise we received no real acknowledgement of the problem from either the manager or the chef.Special Features:
- Reversal of fork funHillforkVIPDined on 3/8/2014Not sure what is happening at the Bistro. We've eaten there many times over the years. The menu has more main dishes which can be problematic. The server failed to alert us about the abundant share- ability of the "abalone" appetizer. We've had abalone , not sure what ersatz meat that was, but it wasn't as billed. Biggest hint was the price-as the amount would have cost a fortune and it was moderately priced . All downhill from there, except the salad special with grapes nuts from Cal. My wife's pork had pure globs of fat on her plate, I had sand dabs overly smothered in a heavy gravy. Couldn't finish those plates
- Chef Henri! Talk to ALL OF US!WillenaDined on 3/4/2014We had a wonderful dinner at Montclair Bistro on Tuesday Special Steak and Fish Nite. Two of us had the t-bone steaks, which were adequarely sized and cooked just right. My wife had the salmon-halibut special. Wine was great. Chef Henri came out and did speak to a patron or two. But once again, he slighted our table. Whether intentional or not, if he speaks with one patron, he needs to speak to us all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Has it's moments...OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 3/4/2014...both good and not so good moments were had on this visit. We took my mother for birthday dinner with our new born baby. They were accommodating with the seating and very pleasant. It took them an extended period of time to take our order and check on us during the evening. I had to get up three times to locate a service person. The meals were mostly good, but some items left a bit to be desired, in particular the super hard bread pudding. It averaged out to a decent meal in a really nice setting. All in all, the staff was kind, but not terribly attentive (and it wasn't busy) and the food was slightly above average over all. I think it's worth a go because it's not too pricey, but just don't have high expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
