The Partly Cloudy Patriot
By Sarah Vowell; Katherine Streeter (Illustrator)

Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
Sarah Vowell travels through the American past and, in doing so, investigates the dusty, bumpy roads of her own life. In this insightful and funny collection of personal stories Vowell -- widely hailed for her inimitable stories on public radio's This American Life -- ponders a number of curious questions: Why is she happiest when visiting the sites of bloody struggles like Salem or Gettysburg? Why do people always inappropriately compare themselves to Rosa Parks? Why is a bad life in sunny California so much worse than a bad life anywhere else? What is it about the Zen of foul shots? And, in the title piece, why must doubt and internal arguments haunt the sleepless nights of the true patriot?
Her essays confront a wide range of subjects, themes, icons, and historical moments: Ike, Teddy Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton; Canadian Mounties and German filmmakers; Tom Cruise and Buffy the Vampire Slayer; twins and nerds; the Gettysburg Address, the State of the Union, and George W. Bush's inauguration.
The result is a teeming and engrossing book, capturing Vowell's memorable wit and her keen social commentary.
Sarah Vowell is a contributing editor for public radio's This American Life and has written for Time, Esquire, GQ, Spin, Salon, McSweeneys, The Village Voice, and the Los Angeles Times. She is the author of Radio On, Take the Cannoli, and The Partly Cloudy Patriot. She lives in New York City.
Hartford Courant
[Vowell's] collection of essays explores patriotism and other aspects of contemporary life from the refreshingly contrarian view of a thoughtfully disaffected, wryly outspoken and deeply passionate citizen.
San Francisco Chronicle Even though her pieces make us laugh about every fourth line, we feel as if there's something more significant at work....A writer of fierce observational powers who wears her intelligence and wit as comfortably as an old pair of pajamas.
Entertainment Weekly Droll, intelligent, and persuasive.

Get the Best Priced GMC Envoy Air Spring
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
GMC Envoy Replacement Air Spring Information
The air springs in your GMC Envoy allow the suspension to adjust itself more flexibly and support heavier loads. Because air springs, also known as air bags or air bellows, use compressed air to pressurize their internal compartments, they can deliver a smoother ride, which is especially important with heavier vehicles. Depending on how new your GMC Envoy is, it might even have a computer control circuit that constantly adjusts each air spring to improve your vehicle's aerodynamics, increase its fuel efficiency and ensure that your ride remains extremely comfortable on rougher roads. Some air suspension systems also allow you to choose exactly how you want the ride to feel, but stock Envoy air spring units are usually computer controlled. Numerous different faults can cause air spring failure. The air lines, air fittings or compressors can all fail, and so can the air strut itself.
They are available for the following GMC Envoy years: 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02. This part is also sometimes called GMC Envoy Air Springs. We stock air spring parts for most GMC models.

Where in Duluth? Watercolor edition.
I came across this water color image from Brian Stewart while engaging in my newest time trap, curating the "Duluth-o-Philia" board on Pinterest. This does evoke a location for me, but for the life of me, I can't remember the place. Bonus question, is it still there even?

I buzzed the entry phone, introduced myself, and waited, feeling slightly uncomfortable gazing at the box on the wall. Then I heard a voice "Hello! Please come in!". Instantly, I relaxed. He sounded like a really nice man, and the visit was clearly going to be a pleasant one. The voice spoke just four words, but from that I made massive assumptions about its owner's nature, personality, and attitude to me. Now, this was an entry system, but the principle is just the same on the phone. You can't see people, so you infer everything from what they say, and ...Read More »

Arrrgile and Pirate mentality!
In a recent retrospective one of the team said we should continue the 'Pirate Mentality'. What did that mean? Well in this case we had made some brave decisions in the team and chose to deal with the consequences later. This was good as the team had taken ownership of an issue and dealt with it within the team, later other teams adopted the solution created by the team. But it got me thinking, putting aside the fact piracy has some undesirable traits (violence and illegality), are there any more Pirate traits that could have synergies with an Agile Team? ...Read More »
Project Management Graduates – Networking Advice
Last Thursday evening Arras People had a stand at a Careers Fair for UCL's Construction & Project Management faculty in Central London. There were about 150 – mainly postgraduate students who will be graduating next September and looking for work within these fields. Arras don't tend to have graduate placements because hiring organisations tend to sort this type of recruitment out themselves directly with the universities. Yet we know there are never enough placements for everyone who graduates in any given year and that can be a tough call when you've just spend a lot of time and money studying. ...Read More »

A 26-year-old armed reserve policeman was assaulted by a drunken man as well as the man's son and friends, in Elephant Gate, on Sunday evening.
Police said S. Krishnaraj, a constable attached to the Third Battalion of the Tamil Nadu Special Police, was taking his mother, S. Krishanveni (60), on his motorcycle, to a government hospital when K. Jayakumar (48), a resident of Perumal Koil Garden Street in Elephant Gate, also on a motorcycle, collided with Krishnaraj.
In the impact, Krishnaraj and his mother fell off their motorcycle. Jayakumar fled the scene.
Krishnaraj chased and caught him and asked how he could just leave the scene of an accident without even bothering to check if those involved had been injured. As Jayakumar was drunk and was near his home, he raised an alarm. Jayakumar's son and his friends came to his rescue, and attacked Krishnaraj and damaged his mobile phone.
Krishnaraj's mother in the meantime, alerted the police, who nabbed Jayakumar's son, Karthik (28). A case has been filed.

Another view -- Tracy Johnson: For some Army widows, a law compounds the grief
I am sharing our story partly to memorialize Donna - but also in the hopes that other families won't have to go through what I did.
Donna and I met 6 1/2 years ago. Two proud Americans who wanted to serve our country, I was stationed at Fort Bragg and Donna soon joined the North Carolina National Guard. Before we knew it, we were deeply in love. People say that when you know, you know. Donna and I just knew.
We shared the same vision of life, love and happiness. We wanted to share life's joys and adventures and sorrows. We intended to grow old together. We couldn't imagine life without each other, so after "don't ask, don't tell" was repealed, we got married.
Usually, widowed spouses are personally informed by a casualty officer and provided with grief counseling. They are invited to meet the casket as it is returned to American soil. Later, during the funeral service, they are ceremonially presented with the flag that covered their loved one's coffin.
On the day my wife died, I read online that three soldiers had been killed in the area where Donna was stationed. She hadn't called home that morning, breaking our routine. As my worry grew, I got a call from my in-laws. A pair of national guardsmen had gone to their home, not mine.
Although Donna and I were legally married in the District of Columbia last February, I was denied the ceremonies, rituals and spousal survivor's benefits that usually go to widows because Donna and I are both women. This was not because of any military rule discriminating against same-sex couples bravely serving our country. It was because of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a 1996 law that says same-sex widows and widowers cannot be treated equally when their spouses are killed.
Every member of the military I have interacted with has treated me with compassion and care. Many have expressed sorrow and regret that they are not allowed to treat me as an equal. The Defense Department said Monday that it will extend some - not all - spousal benefits to same-sex couples. Any such steps are welcome, but I want to be clear: As long as DOMA is federal law, our government is required to treat same-sex military partners and widows like me as second-class citizens in the country we have sacrificed to defend.
Army widows belong to an honorable and respected community that is a source of strength in the midst of deep grief and loss. Its members are given symbols of the shared sacrifice that they and so many before them have made. We widows are given financial support to deal with the bills that we used to share with our spouses, as well as medical and psychological care to deal with the unspeakable trauma of losing the love of your life. It means something to be called an Army widow.
Because Donna and I are both women, our love and shared sacrifice are not valid to our government. But in my heart, I know the truth. And I am able to carry on because I believe that our nation is ready to do what is right.
Donna was proud to serve our country, and she gave her life to protect our freedom. I know what it meant to her to have the freedom to marry the woman she loved.
Until DOMA is ruled unconstitutional, other loving husbands and wives will share my story. They deserve to receive that official visit, the grief counseling and the survivor's benefits; they deserve to be given the flag that draped their beloved spouse's coffin.
Any law that says they do not deserve these things is wrong. Any law that says I am not Donna's widow is wrong.
We cannot change the past or heal the hurt of those left behind. But we can honor their memory by doing what is right. It's time to end DOMA. I have to keep believing that one day, one way or another, the country Donna died for will treat us as equals.

The targeted killing of Hamas commander Ahmed Jabari on Wednesday comes nearly
four years after the beginning of Operation Cast Lead, the last serious round of
armed conflict between Israel and Palestinian terrorist groups in the Gaza
Strip.Heavy rocket fire from there in November and December 2008
prompted the Olmert government to initiate a wide-ranging operation against the
terrorist infrastructure, beginning with a series of air strikes.The air
campaign lasted for seven days, after which a 15- day ground invasion was
launched aimed at severely harming Hamas's operational capabilities. Just under
a thousand rockets and mortar shells pounded southern Israel during the
offensive, including dozens of missiles that reached as far as Beersheba and
Yavne.Several senior Hamas commanders were killed during the conflict
along with several hundred terrorist fighters.According to IDF figures,
1,166 Palestinians were killed during the operation, of whom 709 were
combatants.Ten IDF soldiers died, four from friendly fire, and
Palestinian rockets killed three Israeli civilians.The two years
following Cast Lead witnessed a dramatic falloff in rocket and mortar fire from
Gaza. Whereas more than a thousand rockets were fired at Israel in 2008 before
Israel initiated its campaign, just over 250 were launched in the whole of 2009
and 2010.However, Hamas and other groups in Gaza swiftly embarked on a
rearmament program after the operation and succeeded in smuggling into the Strip
thousands of rockets and mortars, as well as anti-tank weapons, rocket-propelled
grenades and even shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles via their extensive
network of tunnels under the Egypt-Gaza border.Since 2011, more than
1,100 rockets have struck Israeli territory, almost 800 of which were launched
in 2012, according to the IDF.

School in now in full swing, and the Legislature will soon be, too.
Which means we'll soon see some Republicans once again attempting to expand educational choice in our state.
As is, Arizona has one of the greatest school choice systems in our country.
Don't think so?
First, we have open enrollment in our district schools, which allows students to attend schools outside of their neighborhood school.
Then we have what the Goldwater Institute has called "the most robust" charter school system in the country. Hundreds of charter schools educate thousands of our kids.
Beyond that, we have tuition scholarships, funded by tuition tax credits, that provide tuition subsidies to families so their children can attend private schools.
And we have one of the loosest home schooling set of requirements in the country, again with thousands of Arizona children educated at home by their parents.
But for some legislators, that's not enough - they want to privatize education essentially.
Before we go there, however, shouldn't we first evaluate the current system of school choice?
After all, when charter schools were first proposed to Arizonans more than 20 years ago, the premise was this: We should apply business principles to public schools, the most important principle of which is that competition improves the product.
In this case, the "product" was students. And, the theory went, if schools had to compete for students, the schools would have to improve in order to keep those students. And thus, student achievement would improve.
That theory has continued to today, driving much of the education reform in Arizona.
But one part of the business model, the crucial one in my view, is missing.
Proof it works.
Both of our daughters work for large corporations, corporations that occasionally change their models. When those models are changed, our daughters have to institute those changes.
When they do, the corporations spend millions of dollars and hours researching just how effective those changes have been - as all businesses do.
But here in Arizona, is the business model of competition applied to our education system?
Not a single exhaustive study has been done. There's nothing but anecdotal evidence of outstanding charter schools leading the state in AIMS test scores.
Beyond that, no one will find anything that gives us - the parents and taxpayers - any clue if the money spent on charters and vouchers has actually led to better overall achievement in our state.
This omission comes even with Arizona having had pro-competition Superintendents of Public Instruction for the entire time we have had competition.
So why hasn't Arizona done that research? Where are the advocates for the business model taking the logical step of evaluating the success of that model applied to our schools?
Our current Superintendent of Public Instruction, John Huppenthal, has touted himself as someone who bases his policies on research, proudly declaring himself a policy wonk who buries himself in the research.
Before choice advocates surface again in this year's legislative session, maybe Superintendent Huppenthal should first order a study of how successful our current system has been.
Because without that research, choice advocates base their argument on faith rather than evidence. And as any businessman will tell you, faith in something without evidence it works is a recipe for failure.

Sony is launching new smartphones in the Xperia lineup; Xperia miro and Xperia tipo. Both smartphones ship with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) despite its lower specifications.
The Xperia mio packs a 3.5-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 320, Android 4.0 and a 5MP rear camera. It comes with a 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM7225A processor, so performance will be just normal at best. Sony's aiming the miro to be a fun phone with options to change the color of the chin (black, black/pink, white and white/gold). Facebook integration is also available throughout the operating system and customizable illuminations to differentiate incoming message and social updates.
In addition to the 5MP rear camera, the front facing camera will allow you to video chat with your friends. To provide great music entertainment, it integrates Sony's xLOUD audio technology, giving crisp and loud sound. Xperia miro comes pre-installed with Music Unlimited from Sony Entertainment Network, providing instant access to millions of music tracks on the move.
Key features for Xperia miro
The Xperia tipo aims at first time smartphone owners giving them a dedicated set-up guide and a built in app which allows users to keep track of their data usage throughout the month so that they don't go over their allowance. Like the miro, the tipo ships with an 800MHz Qualcomm processor and delivers Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) at an afforadable price. You'll also get 480 x 320 resolution in the tipo, although the screen is 3.2-inches rather than 3.5. The rear camera on the tipo is capable of just 3.2MP, for the first time smartphone user this might just be enough.

Arizona State Sun Devils
AD Patterson encouraged by Graham's first season
The Arizona State Sun Devils find themselves in a familiar situation.
With a 5-5 record and just two games remaining, Arizona State appears to be staring mediocrity in the face once again.
Under first year head coach Todd Graham, the Devils started the season with plenty of promise but faltered once their schedule got tough.
Despite being on a four-game losing streak, ASU Athletic Director Steve Patterson is optimistic that the football program is going in the right direction.
"I'm encouraged overall. I think Todd [Graham] made great progress laying the foundations for a successful program," Patterson said. "If we get two more wins, we are going to be in good shape and get into a decent bowl game."
Patterson pointed out that a bowl game is key when it comes to developing a young talent and hopes his team will have the opportunity to do so this year.
"It gives you more days to practice than teams that are not in bowls. That is important for particularly the younger players who are just starting with it," Patterson said. "It helps Todd instill the rest of his system before he goes into next year."
With only eight senior starters, extra practices will give Graham a valuable chance to continue to develop his young team for next season.
"Overall, I feel good about where he has gone and where the development of the team is right now," Patterson said.

Begun in 1985 as a strictly volunteer-based project of the St. Louis Mennonite Fellowship, Plowsharing Crafts grew over the years into a thriving nonprofit with two locations and an expansive inventory of eclectic wares from around the globe. The staff is committed to selling fair-trade art and handcrafts in order to provide much needed income and nurture the businesses of artisans, 70% of whom are women, from more than 45 developing countries around the world. The selection of items ranges from housewares to jewelry and beyond, many of which are made with sustainable and recycled materials or from food grown with sustainable methods.
Launched 5 years ago, Mattress Source has grown from a plucky family-run enterprise to a regional institution, soothing aching backs and brightening up dream times with masterfully engineered mattresses of all makes and types. Models from brands such as Simmons, Corsicana, Restonic, and Spring Air enrich the third of your life spent asleep and the eighth of your life spent practicing trust falls with thick, long-lasting constructions designed to support and relax the body. The inventory promotes deep sleep and good health through a range of mattress types, from the strong, nonsagging innerspring design to the pillowy comfort of sheets of memory foam and latex.
A tall mural with cheerful, stylized images of antique home furnishings and a well-placed arrow points visitors to the cherry-red front door of Little Shop Around the Corner. Inside the charming resale shop, tail-wagging vintage merchandise and upscale antique furniture, art, jewelry, and china await to be adopted by new owners. The merchandise is sourced from donations to the Missouri Botanical Garden, located just around the corner. Garden Emeritus Trustee Evelyn Newman dreamt up the idea for the store, whose proceeds benefit the Garden's research and educational initiatives aimed at preserving botanical life, conserving resources, and combating climate change.
Marking its 40th anniversary, this year's Gypsy Caravan Market amasses the antiques and handcrafted goods of more than 300 vendors to benefit the St. Louis Symphony.

Transform stark rented flats into personal temples with wood-and-bamboo door beads ($22.99) that fall in a whimsical arch formation. The shop also pays homage to contemporary pop culture with T-shirts ($19.99-$26.99) declaring love for cult classics such as The Big Lebowski, Dazed and Confused, and The Hangover. Guests can occupy their palms with a variety of hand drums ($24.99) designed for drum-circle frequenters and stock traders that sell via Morse code.
Ahner's Garden and Gifts shelters more than 100 different varieties of tropical houseplants in a Dutch-made retail greenhouse. After passing through the greenhouse's gravel detectors and emptying their pockets of stones, blossom boosters can shop for horticultural accents in climate-controlled comfort all year round. Floral fans especially fawn over Ahner's nearly 25 different types of orchids. Premium orchids in 6 in. pots start at $29.50 and can be found in such exotic varietals as the Wilsonara and the Brassia, known as the "spider orchid" because of its double life as an orchid and photographer for The Daily Bugle. If your planters are currently being used to store your collection of precious antique cobwebs, Ahner's botany builders will happily fill them with custom flower arrangements. Prices are based on planter type and size.

A. The old "dog years" formula (one year of a dog's life is equal to seven years of human life) never really worked for any dog, based on a comparison of the general lifespan of humans vs. dogs. Cats age at a more predictable rate than dogs do, mostly because we don't see the range of size and body types we do in dogs, but the 1-to-7 formula doesn't work for them either.
Consider two 10-year-old dogs, a Great Dane and a Chihuahua. Under the 1-equals-7 formula, they'd both be considered the equivalent of a 70-year-old person. And while that's probably not too far off the mark for the Great Dane (10 years for a Dane is indeed near the outer edge of life expectancy), the Chihuahua is likely still acting middle-aged.
But even the Great Dane didn't match the old formula when he was young. In the first year of his life, he would have attained most of his height, something no human 7-year-old ever does.
It's more accurate to think of the first year of a dog's life getting him just over the first big jump of adolescence, with the second year bringing him close to full adult maturity physically, although as in humans, mental maturity may still be on the horizon. From there, it really does depend on the kind of dog in question. I think it's more important to focus on the individual dog, with the knowledge that size and breeding matter when it comes to aging. Roughly put, you can consider your dog to be a senior citizen at 7 if he's that Great Dane, but not until 11-plus if he's the Chihuahua.

Luna Negra Dance Theater Presents MONIQUILLA AND THE MOON MONSTER, 11/30-12/2
Luna Negra Dance Theater continues its family-oriented winter series, Luna Niños, this season with the second dance "episode" of the adventures of Moniquilla and friends, this year titled "Moniquilla and the Moon Monster," presented in three performances only at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 N. Dearborn Street, Friday, November 30 at 7 pm and Saturday-Sunday, December 1-2 at 3 pm.
This new hour-long, narrated dance performance, this year written, directed and choreographed by Luna Negra company member Eduardo Zuñiga, finds Moniquilla and friend Veronica at school one day when they realize that pal Matias is missing. After a little exploration, they realize that Matias has been abducted by the Moon Monster, who's in search of the mysterious Book of Magic, and Moniquilla must enlist the help of former nemesis Nico (from the previous installment, Moniquilla and the Thief of Laughter) to help save him. With illustrations by Patricia Marín Escutia, lighting by Jared B. Moore, and a giant moving set designed by Zuñiga, this immersive and interactive multi-media adventure delights children (and adults) of all ages while serving as an introduction to the dramatic power of contemporary dance.
The on-going adventures of Moniquilla, presented in annual installments as part of Luna Negra's Luna Niños artistic initiative, was conceived by Luna Negra Artistic Director Gustavo Ramírez Sansano specifically to reach young audiences through a unique dance experience tailored to their needs.
Tickets for "Moniquilla and the Moon Monster" are $15 and are available online at www.lunanegra.org. For questions or more information, call 312-337-6882.
Eduardo Zuñiga (Santiago, Chile) began his training at age 15 with The Teatro Municipal School before attending the Houston Ballet Academy, where he performed with both Houston Ballet and Houston Ballet II. In 2005, Zuniga joined State Street Ballet and in 2006 he joined Texas Ballet Theater under the direction of Ben Stevenson. He was also invited by Marcia Haydee to guest with Ballet de Santiago. He spent two seasons dancing with Hubbard Street II under the direction of Glenn Edgerton and Taryn Kaschock-Russell and has worked with classical and contemporary choreographers such as Marcia Haydee, Stanton Welch, Ben Stevenson, John Cranko, Christian Spuck, Alejandro Cerrudo, Andrea Miller, Toru Shimazaki and Edwaard Liang. Zuñiga joined Luna Negra Dance Theater in 2010.
