Earth Day
Earth Day–time to raise awareness about the importance of continually caring for our Planet's resources. Inside our blog you will find affordable & educational tools, gifts & incentives for helping your school & community celebrate Earth Day every day!
Precious resource of water.
"Make Every Day Earth Day" Tag With Chain to each student who completes an essay; use Organic Cotton T-Shirts as prizes for the best essays.
Ask youngsters to brainstorm.
"I Heart The Earth" Clip-On Backpack Pledge Cards to sign and keep.
Earth Day message into the streets.
"Plant The Seeds Of Earth Care" Seeded Paper Bracelets for the students to wear. Lead everyone outside to march around the neighborhood, waving the signs.
Reduce By Reusing
Lead students in brainstorming ways to cut down on their use of disposable items. For each type of item they can think of, challenge them to find an alternative. For example, paper napkins can be replaced with cloth ones and paper cups can be replaced with sturdy, reusable plastic glasses. To get these youngsters started on putting these ideas into practice, hold drawings for "One Planet, One Dream, Go Green" Recycled Water Bottles and "One Planet, One Dream, Go Green" Non-Woven Shopper Totes.
Carpooling For Recyclables
Perhaps your town doesn't have a curbside recycling program, but does have locations throughout the community to drop off recyclables. Make it easier for families of your students to take advantage of this system by letting them bring items to the school. Then recycling won't involve a separate stop for them. Recruit volunteers to take turns hauling the recyclables to a drop-off location. Launch this project on Earth Day. Give "I'm Cool, I Recycle" Buttons and "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" Silicone Bracelets With Pledge Presentation Card to your volunteers.
Meaningful Map
Create a visual aid to illustrate how humans are making more trash than they know what to do with. Begin with a box from a refrigerator or other large appliance; flatten it. Draw the Earth's continents on it and color them green. Color the rest of the cardboard blue. Show your students this image. Then have them gather "clean" trash, possibly things that have accumulated in their desks, backpacks, etc. Help them glue the trash all over the Earth. Ask them to step back and see how the image has changed. As a reminder, pass out "Handle With Care" Laminated Backpack Tags and "Handle With Care" Heat Sensitive Pencils.
Songs And Sun
Think big when you think Earth Day 2011. Arrange an outdoor concert that features bands performing family-friendly music. Tie the concert into Earth Day by powering the equipment with solar energy. For advice, contact other organizations who have held solar-powered concerts. During the concert, throw packages of "Earth Day Rocks" Rubber Wristbands out to the crowd. As everyone leaves at the end, distribute "Earth Day Rocks" Temporary Tattoos.

This is your property ?
Our unique accommodations, comfort, tranquility and first rate service is what distinguishes SacBe condominiums. The imaginative design of each unit combines elegance and simplicity, integrated with natural wonders and luscious tropical gardens.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

After a dull draw in the first Test at Abu Dhabi, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have locked horns again in the second Test of the three-match series, starting from Wednesday at Dubai.
Both teams are looking to get a victory in this encounter, so as to gain the upper hand in the series going into the third Test. The first Test swung from Pakistan's favour to Sri Lanka's end as the match progressed. Good batting displays from both the teams ensured neither lost, but also ruled out chances of a victory for either team.
Sri Lanka captain, Angelo Mathews looked in great from during the first Test as he registered scores of 91 and 157 in the two innings; both match-saving innings. Pakistan's Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq also scored sublime tons in the first innings, and the performance of speedstar Junaid Khan will also give the Pakistani fans a lot of hope.
Coming into the second match, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have made one change each in their palying XIs. Pakistan have included Sarfraz Ahmed in place of the injured Adnan Akmal. And for Sri Lanka, seamer Nuwan Pradeep is making a comeback after a year-long hiatus.
Pakistan: Khurram Manzoor, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq (c), Asad Shafiq, Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Bilawal Bhatti, Rahat Ali, Saeed Ajmal, Junaid Khan.
Sri Lanka: Dimuth Karunaratne, Kaushal Silva, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews (c), Prasanna Jayawardene (wk), Rangana Herath, Shaminda Eranga, Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Pradeep.

4 months ago I did a workout consisting of squats, deadlifts, benching, rear delt raises and dips. About 20 seconds after my last set of dips I started feeling a soreness in my chest, like something had hit me really hard and knocked the wind out of me. That feeling lasted for about an hour, and I went on with my normal activities.
That night the pain came back 100 times greater. It kept me up most of the night and it was almost impossible to move enough to get out of bed in the morning. I had to take quick, small breaths because it was excruciating to have my lungs too full or too empty. I figured I must have fractured my sternum to be in this much pain.
I got my dad to examine me. He's a thoracic surgeon, but he's usually better with organs and blood vessels, and not so much with bones, muscles and joints. After poking around, his diagnosis was that the injury was at the joint between the manubrium and the rest of the sternum. He told me to take advil around the clock and that after a few weeks I could resume normal activities as long as they weren't causing pain.
Occasionally something inside my chest felt like it would slip into place, which would hurt a lot for a second, but afterwards the usual dull ache would go away for a few hours. After about 3 weeks I was able to put on a backpack again without pain. After 4 weeks I resumed squatting and deadlifting. It took 7-8 weeks before I could bench again. Then in mid-Feb I had unrelated surgery and took 6 weeks off lifting, 7 off for bench.
Since I've starting lifting again, I get a very faint dull pain in that part of my chest when I bench. Sometimes when I squat, the joint will "pop" a little bit as I'm coming up, which doesn't hurt but still worries me. When doing certain twisting motions it feels like something slips out of place, then back into place. Going from a laying down position to sitting up with my feet hanging off the edge of the bed does this a lot.
What bothers me about this whole situation:
- I wasn't aware of the injury as it was occuring
- After a month, and then almost immediately another 1.5 months of rest, my body still hasn't healed itself fully
Anyone had this problem? know what caused it or how to fix it?

SAO Graduation Ceremonies
Graduation Dates:
- Melbourne Convention Centre,
1 Convention Centre Place, South Wharf
(Click here for a map and directions)
- Glenferrie Hotel - very close to Swinburne (1 min walk!)
- Quest Apartments (1 min walk to Swinburne!)
- Amora Hotel Riverwalk - nice hotel in Richmond on the Yarra River, just a 15 minute tram ride from Swinburne.
- Richmond Hill Hotel - cheaper option in Richmond. Great location close to train and trams, about 15 minutes from Swinburne.
Swinburne graduation ceremonies are held in March and August/September of each year. Graduations are organised by the Registrar's Department and all students need to apply to graduate. For details, please see the Awards & Ceremonies Section of the Registrar's Department website. (Note that international students can also graduate December. However, the late release of the Semester 2 final grades means that international students will generally no longer be able to graduate in December if they completed their studies in Semester 2.)
SAO and the Centre for Astrophysics & Supercomputing are within the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology, so be sure to check the FSET (postgraduate) graduation ceremony dates.
Information on graduation ceremonies can be found here.
Ceremonies will now be held at the Melbourne Convention Centre
For those of you from outside Melbourne, please note if you plan
to travel by public transport (e.g. train, tram) you will need to buy
a myki card (credit card size) and put money on the card prior to travelling.
The system is quite unfriendly, especially to people visiting Melbourne on
short stays (you cant pay for a fare on a tram or train at the time). If you wish to
avoid delays on the day please visit:
- SAO staff invite you and your guests to visit the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing on the day of your graduation. Closer to the date the SAO Coordinator will be in email contact with those students attending the ceremony to discuss a timetable of events.
Should you be requiring local accommodation while in Melbourne, we suggest the following:
- For last minute bookings (up to 28 days in advance) that can give you reduced accommodation prices try

Stay Away From Reliable Imports of Springfield
Posted by
SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI -- I don't even know where to start with this dealership. They lost the second set of keys to our pre-owned car when we bought it, so we are without a spare set now. The tires that were on our car when we bought it were the original tires on the vehicle, although UnReliable lied and told us they were brand new. The "new" tires were completely bald after 3 months. They also lied about a warranty package and tied it in with the purchase of the vehicle. It took 3 months for me to clear up that mess because UnReliable lost my paperwork. When I called about it, the salesman was conveniently never in and never returned my phone calls. They also failed to do routine maintenance work on the vehicle prior to point-of-sale(like recalled parts that are free of charge to the owner) and tried to charge me for labor when I took the car in for maintenance. These guys are scam artists. If you are looking to get burned, then this is definitely the dealership for you.
Goes to show you should always have a pre-owned vehicle independently inspected, a lesson learned too late. We would have probably been better off at one of those "no credit? no problem!" joints than at Reliable Imports. Do yourself a favor and never set foot on a Reliable lot!

madconsumer on 05/25/2008:
used vehicles come with all kinds of problems. I have never heard of a used vehicle place not charging for maintenance.
it is hard to believe the tires were bald in 3 months, even if they were used.
stop by the hardware store and buy a second set of keys. ewill cost about $5.
Slimjim on 05/25/2008:
I can't comment about the warranty package because of lack of details, but used cars are sold generally as is. Regardless of whether the tires were new, they were safe. Maybe they were newer. Some types of tires today, usually the most expensive, don't have a lot of mileage life with them. Thin profile, stiff sports car tires for example.
Anonymous on 05/25/2008:
I cannot condemn the dealer because the tires were bald within three months. They may have been very cheap, new tires. In the interest of 'good will' the dealer should have offered to comp you a set of keys to replace the ones they lost. Finding warranties for pre-owned cars is more common than it used to be, some cover very little. However, if the OP had a copy of a warranty covering maintenance items or recall items, he/she should not be charged for those services. The post does not supply sufficient detail about the warranty to know if this is so.
drummer_boy31 on 10/07/2008:
I used to work at the dealership and have a few things to add. I have recently been getting into the online forums to try to help people make better decisions. As a sales rep at the dealership for almost a year, I know the types of things that went on there. First of all, the second set of keys that you were thinking you should have had.. not every car is traded in with two sets of keys. people automatically assume that if you buy a car (even used) you get two sets. this is not always true. as a sales rep, its very hard to explain that to a customer as customers are not as understanding as we would like them to be. In some cases, some sales reps are out to get you, but I was not that kind. I sold over 130 cars while I worked there, and the only unsatisfied customer I had, I had to plead and beg my director to let me fix the situation, which I ultimately did. Secondly, the salesman is NOT!!!! responsible for ANY type of warranty you purchased on the car. This was discussed in the finance office, and EVERY!!! transaction in the finance office is recorded: if you don't believe me, call and ask them. I do know that every vehicle we sold was sent through a 39 point inspection. On a used vehicle, this is not every knook and cranny. its simply to make sure the care is not leaking oil, drives safe, and isn't going to kill you while you are operating it. As for the tires, could have been something made up by the salesman. You as a consumer should have checked them. People always assume that what we tell them, is the truth. I never mislead any of my customers, and I could back that up. I was honest, and tried to be straightforward to my customers as that's what I would expect from a dealership. I am sorry you had a bad experience and if there are any questions you may have regarding your vehicle information, I will gladly try and help you figure them out. Please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rip Off Artists
Posted by
SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI -- I would never recommend purchasing an automobile from this company. I purchased a brand new Subaru Outback from Reliable Subaru in Springfield, Missouri in March of '05. Without my consent the company added an extended warranty policy as well as a "gap coverage" policy to the sale. When asked to remedy the situation I basically got the run around. Avoid this dealersip at all costs unless you like being charged $3,000 for something you did not sign up for!!!

Budro on 10/16/2006:
EVEN WORSE, They refused to honor my "extended" warranty, kept putting me off, giving me the run around, saying it was only for 75,000 miles, this after I paid extra for an extended 100,000 mile "complete car, if ANYTHING at all goes wrong" warranty! Reliable Hyundai = THE WORST SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON THE FACE OF THE FREAKING EARTH! A two hour wait just to have the oil changed WITH AN APPOINTMENT!! Nothing but B.S. and excuses!!! Take it from someone they RIPPED OFF royaly! DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THESE "PEOPLE". You WILL get ripped off if you do. I DID!
Budro on 10/16/2006:
Follow up: This was the "Hyundai Advantage Plus 10 year/100,000 mile Protection Plan" This is a quote from the plan text "For starters, both Hyundai Protection Plans cover just about every part and component on your Hyundai (more than 14,000 parts and components, to be exact). The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers everything, excluding wear and maintenance items, soft trim, and upholstery." Now someone explain to me why they won't take care of my car?!?!
ALSO: I called the Hyundai protection plan 800 number, gave my info to them, guess what? They said I did not have the extended warranty plan and they show I had declined it when I purchased the car! But strange thing I was CHARGED FOR IT, AND PAID FOR IT! ANSWER; RIPOFF ARTISTS!

New Ways to Track Currencies
Exchange-traded fund investors got three more ways to play the currency markets earlier this month.
On Feb. 13, the CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY) was issued for trading. Then on Feb. 20, the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP ) and the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish Fund (UDN) launched.
The CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust is managed by Rydex Investments, and it rounds out Rydex's portfolio of currency ETFs including the CurrencyShares Euro Trust (FXE), the CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust (FXA), the CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust (FXB), the CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (FXC), CurrencyShares Mexican Peso Trust (FXM), the CurrencyShares Swedish Krona (FXS) and the CurrencyShares Swiss Franc (FXF). The funds measure the value of the foreign currencies in U.S. dollars.
When a foreign currency strengthens, it takes more U.S. dollars to buy one unit of that currency. So if you believe that the U.S. dollar will weaken against one these currencies, buying the ETF for that currency gives you protection from a fall in the value of the U.S. dollar. Of course, if the dollar gains in value, these ETFs are designed to fall.If you have the notion that the U.S. dollar is going to rise in value, but are unsure as to which foreign currency to bet against, then take a look at the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP) offered by Deutsche Bank and PowerShares Capital Management. This ETF holds a basket of the six currencies that make up the dollar index: euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc.

Law would require benefits for gay spousesBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | February 04,2013MONTPELIER — The state of Vermont may have given its blessing to gay marriage, but some employers here have yet to follow suit.
And for the gay Vermonters working at national companies headquartered outside this state, the lack of recognition can mean more than hurt feelings.
"There are people in the state who are not able to access health coverage simply because their spouse's employer refuses to recognize their marriage," says Rep. Paul Poirier, a Barre City independent. "We passed gay marriage, but a lot of people still can't get the benefits of marriage."
Wal-Mart, for instance, extends health coverage to the spouses of its workers — unless they happen to be gay. According to Susan Donegan, commissioner of the Department of Financial Regulation, there's nothing illegal about the unequal treatment.
"We've got a situation where employers who have their own self-funded, generally large insurance group fall outside the jurisdiction of our state insurance laws," Donegan says.
The state also lacks authority over companies that have bricks-and-mortar locations in Vermont but are headquartered out of state.
"Is it the right thing to do (to deny spousal benefits)? I would say no," Donegan says. "But there are companies that do that and it is perfectly legal."
Perhaps not for much longer, however. Poirier and Rep. Patti Komline, a Dorset Republican, are drafting legislation that would require all companies that offer spousal benefits to straight employees to do the same for their gay workers.
Donegan says she doesn't have any data on how many businesses or workers the proposed legislation would affect.
"But you have to assume it's a significant number of people," Poirier says.
Donegan says legislation enacted recently in California might offer a model for Vermont.
Randy Hargrove, director of national public relations for Wal-Mart, says the company won't comment on Poirier's bill until it's been introduced in Montpelier. He confirmed that Wal-Mart "does not offer domestic partner … benefits," though he said that executive leadership will "continue to evaluate" its compensation packages. Since the passage of a similar law in California, Hargrove said, the company has extended spousal benefits to gay employees in that state.
"We comply with state law," he said.
Poirier, who along with Komline spent the summer and fall urging Wal-Mart to extend the benefits voluntarily, said he was told by executives that they would comply with whatever legislation he could get enacted in Montpelier.
"So they won't do it on their own, but they said they will follow state laws," Poirier says. "So we're going to make a new law."

The Women of Pedro Almodóvar
Almodóvar's finest film, All About My Mother, is in fact exclusively about women, of all kinds: young, old, successful, troubled, confused, strong, weak. The film follows Manuela, an employee at a transplant clinic (here Amodóvar once again recycles a motif from an earlier film) as she tries to rebuild her life after her precocious son's tragic death. The shift from men to women, male homosexual desire to maternal feeling, is signaled by a narrative feint with which the film begins. Early on there is a strong suggestion that the woman's fatherless son, with his fierce attachment to his mother, the prized Truman Capote book he's received for his birthday, and his love of camp classics like All About Eve, is on the verge of discovering his homosexuality; between that and the way in which the camera lingers on the beautiful face of the young actor who plays him, the film looks as if it might be the story of that discovery.
And yet soon after meeting him, we see the boy being run over by a car after trying unsuccessfully to get the autograph of a famous actress, whose car he chases after in the pouring rain. Here we realize that it's the mother, not the son, who will be our emotional focus; it becomes, so to speak, a story told by him, rather than about him. (Almodóvar has talked about the enormous impact that L'Avventura had on him as a young moviegoer, and the narrative dislocation that comes in the first third of All About My Mother bears him out.)
It is tempting to see the shift from the world of (gay) men to the world of (mostly straight) women as parallel to another, larger evolution that occurs in the movie, and in the work overall—the abandonment of melodrama for something at once subtler and more emotionally profound. This shift is evoked by yet another narrative feint: after the boy's heart is transplanted and Manuela (who because of her job has access to confidential records) goes to spy secretly on the recipient, there's a brief moment when you think the movie is going to be about another sentimental cliché—the mother's relationship with the beneficiary of her dead son's organs. But this, too, comes to nothing, and Manuela returns home to rebuild her shattered life.
Firmly grounded in reality, then, we follow Manuela over some few years as she becomes a substitute mother to several other characters: the brilliant but emotionally unstable lesbian actress who was the unwitting cause of Manuela's bereavement (played by the handsome Marisa Paredes, who had played Leo in The Flower of My Secret), and a young nun (Penélope Cruz) who's been seduced and made pregnant by the father, now dying of AIDS, of Manuela's dead son. (Since his affair with Manuela he's become a transsexual named Lola: even the men in this story aren't completely male.) What's remarkable about the film is that despite the presence of hyperbolic elements familiar from the earlier films—the addicts, the sex changes, the trannies, AIDS, the fatal accident, even the transplant clinic where Manuela works and where, in a horrible replay of the scenario with which The Flower of My Secret opens, she is compelled to sign the consent form permitting the extraction and use of her son's organs—the emotional tone is muted, tender, intense, and yet somehow sober. The film begins and ends with the death of a young person, but there is no question of such death being glamorized, sensationalized, or otherwise cheaply aestheticized; no question that the emphasis is on anything but life. It's as if, once again, Almodóvar were teasing us with elements from his earlier work only to bring us up short—to remind us of how far he'd come.
Looking back at the complex evolution of Almodóvar's style over the past two decades allows you, among other things, to see a secret and symbolic irony at play in Leo's argument with her editor in The Flower of My Secret. For Leo, greater artistic seriousness was represented by a commitment to subjects that seemed to her more grittily real, more violent, more working-class—more noir, in every sense—than the rose-colored fantasy world of her romance novels, with (presumably) their reveries about intense attentions of men to the erotic and emotional needs of women. And yet the director's own progress to greater depth and maturity has moved, if anything, in the opposite direction.
The theme of returning to and suggestively recycling old material is at the very core of Almodóvar's new film, the Academy Award–nominated Volver, as its title reminds us. The Spanish verb volver means not only "to turn"—there is, indeed, a recurrent visual motif here of windmills turning—but "to return" and, with a verbal object, "to do again." Here, as in Talk to Her, two women are at the center of connected plots; here, as in All About My Mother, the emphasis is on motherhood. Most remarkably there is here a crucial allusion to the groundbreaking Flower of My Secret. For Volver takes as its donnée the plot of the very novel that Leo, in her quest for seriousness, had tried and failed to publish in the earlier film. Exactly like Leo's novel, The Cold Storage Room, the new movie is about a mother (here called Raimunda), a lower-class cleaning woman, who learns that her deadbeat husband has tried to rape her daughter and, after the husband is murdered, disposes of the body in a freezer in a neighbor's restaurant.
We eventually learn that these crimes—the incest, the murder, the mother's willingness to do anything to protect the daughter—are echoes of, "returns" to, earlier crimes committed by Raimunda's own mother; but this internal return is nowhere near as interesting as the larger one taking place here, which is that of Almodóvar himself once again returning, with delicious self-consciousness, to an old plot—one that sounded hopelessly excessive, too much like his own early work—and reconfiguring it, as he does here even more radically than in his other recent films, in the subtle but provocative manner of his mature style.
Volver dispenses fairly swiftly with two props of the old Almodóvar style: melodrama and men. Indeed, an arresting opening sequence suggestively emphasizes what will be the film's exclusive focus on female experience: it's a shot of the women of a small provincial town vigorously cleaning the tombstones of their relatives (or, in the case of one significant character, her own tomb). It is in this context of death and hard female labor that we are introduced to Raimunda, who lives in Madrid but has come for this ritual visit to her parents' graves (we learn that the couple died together in a fire three years earlier); her daughter Paula, a fourteen-year-old nymphet; her plain-looking sister, Sole; and their old friend and neighbor Agustina, who has remained in the village and who looks after Raimunda's senile old aunt, also called Paula. A visit to Tìa Paula's house is charged—characteristically, as it will turn out—with intense familial emotion and with the specter of the macabre, even the supernatural. For even as the lonely old woman tells her nieces that "the important thing is that you come back [volver]," we soon learn that someone else may have come back, too: the two sisters' dead mother, Irene, whose ghost neighbors claim to have seen, and who Tìa Paula herself, perhaps not as crazy as she sounds, insists has been doing the housework for her and cooking her meals.
Soon we are back in the big city, Madrid, where the relationships among these women—the supposedly dead mother included, as it will turn out—are the objects of the film's restrained and loving attention. Indeed, the knifing of Paco, Raimunda's husband (a crime committed by young Paula as he tries to rape her), and the disposal of his body are handled with a semi-comical brusqueness; the fact that Raimunda gets away with cleaning up the crime scene and transporting the body from the house to a nearby restaurant freezer and then to a makeshift grave suggests the filmmaker's desire simply to be rid of the men here, too. They're just a plot mechanism, a way of focusing our attention on the women. In earlier films in which murders occur (Law of Desire, Matador), Almodóvar was clearly intrigued by the high drama afforded by police procedurals; here there are no cops on the murderer's trail, and the only procedure associated with the crime is the almost lovingly filmed sequence in which Raimunda, who cleans vast office buildings for a living, expertly and unsentimentally wipes up the blood with paper towels and then mops the floor. As a cover-up she merely tells everyone that Paco has left her and Paula; when Sole insists that he'll come back (volverá), "I don't think so" is the ever-practical Raimunda's opaque reply. To his credit, the director doesn't milk the line for a laugh, as he could well do—as indeed he would have done fifteen years ago.
If anything, when men turn up here, they're soon dismissed; the emphasis repeatedly returns to the bonds that connect these hardworking women. An ongoing joke of the film is the fact that after Raimunda takes over her neighbor's restaurant (typically, he's conveniently gone out of town and we soon forget about him) and makes it thrive, she repeatedly rejects the attentions of the handsome young guy, a member of a film crew, who has hired her to cater for them. The real focus is, if anything, on the way in which a couple of Raimunda's girlfriends, one of whom is a hardworking local prostitute, end up chipping in to help her with her burgeoning business—the way in which these women, without men, start to thrive. Regina, the whore, ends up helping her friend transport and bury the freezer, too—no questions asked. In earlier films, Almodóvar's women were the sort who relied on the comfort of strangers; here, they rely on each other.
It's a tribute to how intensely Almodóvar focuses our attention on female relationships that even after the graphic murder of Paco and the black comedy about the disposal of his body, the only mysteries and the only death we care to solve or to mourn are those involving women. The death is that of Raimunda's beloved Tìa Paula, who, she learns after Paco is killed, has died the night before—an event to which, the women of the village insist, the ghost of Raimunda's mother has alerted Agustina. A strikingly photographed scene of the old lady's funeral, which shows us, from above, the black-clad townswomen batting their fans and surrounding Sole while we hear the insistent susurration of their prayers, once again—perhaps because it suggests a hive of bees—drives home the theme of feminine emotional solidarity.
Of the two mysteries we are led to care about, the first has to do with the disappearance of Agustina's mother, a local eccentric who, she tells Paula, had once been the rural town's only hippie, and who disappeared the day that Raimunda's parents perished—a mystery that torments her plain, kindly daughter, who is dying of cancer. (Agustina begs Raimunda to help her solve the riddle before she dies, even if it means appealing to ghosts—a suggestion that an incredulous Raimunda, never one for fanciful solutions to real-life problems, emphatically rejects.)
The second mystery concerns the true identity of the woman who's buried in Irene's tomb. For it soon evolves that the ghost story is another tease, another suggestion of narrative extravagance that is soon abandoned in favor of something real. Irene, we learn, is no apparition, and when she finally makes herself known to her daughters and granddaughter, she confesses to a crime that not only explains the disappearance of Agustina's mother, but brings about a violently emotional confrontation on the part of all four women with a crime committed by the dead husband, a crime far more terrible than adultery or murder in self-defense: incestuous abuse of the young Raimunda. Irene's discovery of this crime, along with her knowledge of the husband's affair with Agustina's mother, is, we learn, what led her to set the fire that killed the adulterous couple.
The terrible secrets revealed by a sorrowing Irene explain the cause of the long estrangement between her and her now-grown daughter: the daughter's rage at the mother's failure to see what was happening, the mother's uncomprehending resentment before she did learn the truth. More emotionally significant still, the sensational revelation makes us realize that the two women are poignantly similar to each other: in the daughter the admirable spirit of the mother has, after all, "returned." For each is a mother who has been willing to incur an awful guilt in order to punish a terrible crime against her daughter: although it's the young Paula and not Raimunda who kills Paco, her mother makes it clear that she's willing to take the blame if the crime is ever discovered. (Incestuous abuse by a terrible father is itself a motif to which Almodóvar has returned here: it occurs as an eleventh-hour revelation in Law of Desire, but there it feels gratuitous—it's just another outrageous incident among many, introduced as an attempt to explain a character's erotic life. Here, it has greater narrative significance and a profounder emotional impact.)
The irony of Volver's reenactment of the fictional plot from The Flower of My Secret is that the real focus, the real story here, is not in fact what had seemed so repellently sensational to Leo's editor—the murders, the dead bodies, the poverty—but rather a series of subtle, complicated, intense yet finally manageable feelings among female characters, emotions that, in the new film, really do constitute a kaleidoscopic vision of what "True Love" is. The self-wounding anger borne by daughters against their mothers; the subtly etched competitiveness between close friends and particularly between sisters (Almodóvar and his excellent cast brilliantly evoke the intricate currents that run back and forth between the plain Sole and the beautiful Raimunda, played with great effectiveness by Penélope Cruz, who seems at once more voluptuous and tougher than in her earlier work for Almodóvar, and who has certainly earned her Oscar nomination); the immense and unbearable pain felt by Irene (the great Carmen Maura), a mother who has inadvertently wounded her child by failing to see what was happening to her: these things occupy our attention to the exclusion of virtually everything else, with satisfying results.
It must be said that this newly exclusive focus on deep emotions among fairly ordinary people is a bit disconcerting for many who have come to enjoy the cinematic brand that "Almodóvar film" has long represented. The comparatively subdued reception that Volver has received may have much to do with the fact that the film does not deliver the kind of fun we've come to associate for a long time with this director's work. Or even with the kinds of extremities of incident and character that his fine, more recent work still revels in: the fantasy silent movies, the miraculous reanimations of comatose girls, the glitter and gore of the corrida.
Here I should mention a "return" of my own: on my first viewing I was fairly unaffected by Volver, largely, I think, because what I saw on screen strayed so far from my expectations of it (particularly having read of the murder with which it begins). Gone were the men, the eroticizing of the masculine that to my mind had always seemed to give the director's films either a campy or an erotic traction; gone, too, was the ostentatious appeal to "marginal" elements, gone the elaborate narrative frames created by reference to icons of pop culture, the films within films and plays within films, that gave the earlier work an elaborate and sometimes delicious self-consciousness. The only bit of trashy pop culture you get in the new movie is a scene in which the cancer-ridden Agustina goes on a daytime talk show to appeal to the viewing public for information about her mother. (Significantly, instead of embracing that tacky form of entertainment, the film rejects it—Agustina walks off the set in disgust, and keeps her stories to herself in the end.) The only performance you get here is, moreover, an almost painfully straightforward one: at the wrap party for the film crew, Raimunda, who we learn had once had auditioned for a talent show, shyly sings a song called "Volver." (One lyric is "I'm afraid of the encounter with the past that's coming back.") And the only outtake from another director's work is a terribly brief glimpse of the movie that Irene watches as she cares for Agustina: Visconti's 1951 film Bellissima, in which a mother goes to poignantly fantastic extremes to make her little daughter a child film star.
In Spanish, volverse can mean "to change one's ideas" about something. It wasn't until I myself returned and saw the film a second time—and stayed long enough to confirm the identity of the film clip you see at the very end—that the merits of this subtle new film started to affect me, and I began to see what a great change in ideas it represents. For if Bellissima is about a mother whose fantasies of glamour adversely affect her family's ability to live real life (the Anna Magnani character uses up their small funds for grooming little Maria), what's interesting and, finally, moving about Volver—what suggests that it's the logical (if not quite as extraordinary) next step from the masterful All About My Mother—is that in Almodóvar's new film, motherhood trumps Art.
At the very end of the movie, when Raimunda, bidding her mother goodnight, tells Irene almost as an afterthought that she wants to tell her about what happened to Paco, Irene is too busy at this point caring for a new daughter-figure, the dying Agustina (shades of All About My Mother here), to listen. And so she tells her daughter that the story must wait. This poignant final assertion of the value of life over the allure of overheated narratives suggests that Almodóvar, like the erstwhile romance novelist Leo Macìas, has successfully evolved: out of an abandoned melodrama he has fashioned a drama that, in its very restraint, may be the most radical thing its creator has yet attempted.

Main differences between the book and the musical.
1. Melena's love interest and Elphaba's heritage.
In the book, Melena says she may have been raped by a munchin, possibly causing her to conceive Elphaba. In the musical however, it is revealed that Melena had an affair with the wizard of Oz, who was Elphaba's father. in the book, the wizard of oz has absolutely nothing to do with Melena.
2. Frex's occupation.
Frex's job is that of a preacher/missionary in the novel, while in the musical he is a governor.
3. Shell.
In the book, Elphaba is one of three children, and has a younger brother named Shell. In the production, Elphaba states she is one of two. (The other obviously being Nessa.)
4. Madame Morrible's expectations of Glinda.
In the musical, Glinda is scorned by madame morrible, who believes she is a unworthy sorceress. In the book however, Morrible notes that she weilds great power and potential.
5. Nessa's disability.
Nessa is best known to be wheel-chair bound, despite actually being able to walk in Gregory Maguire's version. In the book, Nessa's tragedy is that she was born with no arms, and is able to transport herself via her legs. (Although she has a few balance issues.) Considering the fact this is a show, however, the changing of this is understandable.
6. Nessa's religion.
In the book, Nessarose is a religious fanatic, who is devouted to Unionism. This concept was scraped in the play, and it is unsure what Nessa mark 2's beliefs are.
7. Nessa and Boq.
"Bossa" is considered a canon couple in the show, whilst in the book they have absolutely nothing to do with each-other.
8. Fyiero.
Originally, Fyiero was a very different character. He was quiet and not particularly popular, and had no association with Glinda. He was a lot less flamboyant and shallow. And, was never a scarecrow either, and died before the end. This wouldn't be very acessible on stage, so the above was edited out.
9. Boq and Elphaba.
Boq and Elphaba are close friends in the book. On the contary, this was changed for the musical. Boq even comes to resent Elphie towards the end.
10. Doctor Dillamond.
In the book, Doctor Dillamond was actually murdered. Once again, this was not featured in the production, where he just gets fired.

Music has become just another way to discriminate.
Hear me out. I say this because of the pervasive belief that just because a person has a particular style, the music they listen to has to match that style. Or just because a person predominantly listens to one genre of music, it's an eyebrow raiser if he listens to another. For example, I constantly find myself having to explain to people why I'm listening to Eric B. and Rakim one minute, and Queens of the Stone Age the next. "Aren't you a hip-hop head?" they ask. Well, yes, I am, but ultimately I'm a music head, and music is all encompassing.
Genres were created to distinguish music, not people.
At first I thought it was a racial thing, but then a white friend of mine—also a hip-hop head—was criticized for listening to The Prodigy. He was dubbed a "poser" for straying from his usual style. How ridiculous! Not everybody lives in a box.
People often don't realize, or they forget, that one song can contain a plethora of musical styles. Genres are always intermingling. That's why music has been and always will be such a fascinating art form. One of my favorite artists, Erykah Badu, once said that music is one of the biggest factors in uniting people. That's really what it's all about—unity, not separation. Music belongs to no one, no matter what genre it is.

MCUF Helps Small Credit Unions Make a Big Impact
By Beth Troost
MCUF Executive Director
Geri Timonen from Trenary Cooperative FCU was awarded a Michigan Credit Union Foundation Community Reinvestment Initiative grant earlier this year and went right to work making an impact in her community. Trenary purchased an experiential learning kit called "The Poverty Simulation" from the Missouri Association for Community Action and has already used the kit for financial education outreach to 58 students at Superior High School in the Upper Peninsula town of Eben.
Poverty Simulation is a unique, interactive experience that allows participants to understand what life is like with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress. Participants play the roles of family members for a few hours as they experience first-hand a typical month of living on the edge, struggling to meet basic needs without enough money.
When experienced by adults, this provides awareness, sensitivity and motivation to become involved in helping to find solutions and increase community support for families in need. High school students benefit from the experience because it provides additional motivation to plan ahead, and they can better understand how educational, career and money management choices can impact their future reality.
"Living in a lower-income area, this simulation hits very close to home," noted Timonen in the MCUF CRI grant application. "We are hoping to teach the kids responsibility and looking into the future."
Trenary Cooperative FCU reports that the simulation provided a profoundly moving experience for both the high school students and the adult volunteers that facilitated the hands-on activity in April. "Some of the students were reluctant and reserved at first but soon became very engaged and asked for more time in the simulation" Timonen said.
Timonen rounded up 19 volunteers to facilitate the simulation experience, including credit union staff, board members and school and community volunteers. It won't likely be hard to find facilitators for future simulations as many of the volunteers have already told her that they found the experience so educational and rewarding that they would like to help bring it to others.
Teachers at the school have requested that this simulation be repeated in future years so that all students will have the benefit of experiencing it before they graduate. Timonen reported that one teacher said "This was so beneficial for our students and they learned something without even realizing it."
Trenary plans to continue to reach out to the community with this activity with additional simulations at the high school and will start financial literacy classes for middle and high school students at the school. Credit union and school officials agree that financial education early on is the key to students' money management success in the future.
The MCUF provides specific support to small asset sized credit unions for employee educational development and operational grants. The MCUF also supports Michigan credit unions of all sizes with CRI Grants and Scholarships to CUNA Management School. For 2012, funding is still available for SAS Educational Scholarships and for CRI Grants for community outreach and financial education activities.
With donor support, the MCUF continues to ensure that educational scholarships and grants are available for Michigan credit unions. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the MCUF seeks support from credit unions, chapters, individuals, and companies who support and serve credit unions. Small credit unions can help. Please consider making an annual donation of even a small amount, and take a minute to ask your credit union vendors and partners to make a donation to the MCUF.
MCUF would like to thank the following small asset sized credit unions who have already provided an annual donation for 2012:

Ten Tips For Setting Up A School Machine ShopDecember 16, 2010 8:06 am | Articles | Comments
It's probably not a stretch to suggest that most students back in high school shop class didn't expend a great deal of mental energy wondering how those lathes, drill presses, and grinders made it into the classroom for their enjoyment and educational experience. We'll assume, however, that most were too busy learning how to manipulate metal, wood, and other materials in a safe and effective manner to care about how the tools got there.

How to Handle Chronic Complainers
Got any chronic complainers where you work? It seems like every workplace has them - the people for whom the weather is always too warm or too cold, the boss is a jerk, the food is lousy, work sucks and ŌĆ" you fill out the list. No matter how good things get they still only see the bad - and they go to huge lengths to point it out to everyone around them. Workplaces need to do something about the chronic complainers because they tend to make people around them unhappy at work. ItŌĆÖs a fact that negative people are highly contagious and one chronic complainer can easily get an entire department down.
We try many different strategies to deal with complainers - one German IT company even bans whiners from the workplace. Yep - if you have a bad day you are not allowed to come in. But most of the strategies we normally use on complainers donŌĆÖt help and often make matters worse. Check out what not to do and then read what you should do.
1Note the things that just don't work. There are several commonplace strategies that we tend to rely on and they just don't work to stop chronic complaining:
- Cheering them up doesnŌĆÖt work. As in ŌĆ£Oh, it canŌĆÖt be that badŌĆØ, ŌĆ£Come on, cheer upŌĆØ or the perennial favorite ŌĆ£Time heals all woundsŌĆØ. Saying things like this shows the complainer that youŌĆÖre not taking their pain seriously. When you tell a complainer ŌĆ£itŌĆÖs not that badŌĆØ, he will often complain even harder to convince you (and himself) that his problems are very serious indeed.
- Suggesting solutions doesnŌĆÖt work. ŌĆ£Why donŌĆÖt youŌĆ"ŌĆØ, ŌĆ£have you triedŌĆ"ŌĆØ or even worse ŌĆ£You should really haveŌĆ"ŌĆØ. The complainersŌĆÖ problems are really serious and canŌĆÖt be solved by a few smart suggestions from you. Or so theyŌĆÖve convinced themselves. The more you try to suggest solutions, the harder they will work to convince you and themselves that these solutions could never possibly work for them.
- Telling them to pull themselves together doesnŌĆÖt work. ŌĆ£Quit complaining and do something about itŌĆØ or one favorite: ŌĆ£You either want the problem or you want the solutionŌĆØ. Yeah, telling them that their problems are trivial and they just need to pull themselves together is going to work just fine. All complainers magically stop complaining at this. Or do they?
- Complaining about the complainers doesnŌĆÖt work. ŌĆ£Wow, that Sally complains a lot doesnŌĆÖt she?ŌĆØ Guess what, you just became a complainer too!
- Ignoring them / avoiding them doesnŌĆÖt work. This makes complainers clamor for attention even more - which usually makes people ignore them even more. ThatŌĆÖs a vicious cycle right there.
- Complaining along with them doesnŌĆÖt work. ŌĆ£You know what, youŌĆÖre right, the boss is a jerk. And the weather sucks. In fact everything sucks.ŌĆØ This can be kind of cosy because it creates bonding and an us-against-the-world feeling. But ultimately itŌĆÖs a bad idea because the more people complain, the less prone they are to doing something about their problems.
- Confronting them doesnŌĆÖt work. You can drive the complaints underground where you donŌĆÖt see them, but they will probably still be going on. And repressed complaining is worse than open complaining because it gets to stew and grow while itŌĆÖs hidden.
2Try the trick that does work. It is very simple but also very effective. Listen to the complainer Then, with deep sympathy in your voice, say ŌĆ£You know, that sounds terrible. I donŌĆÖt know how you deal with all of these problems.ŌĆØ The answer will often be "Well..., itŌĆÖs not that bad!ŌĆØ This approach works because it gives the complainer what heŌĆÖs really after: Empathy. Not cheering up, not solutions, not egging-on. Just understanding of what is, for him, a difficult situation. There are two important things to notice here:
- DonŌĆÖt be sarcastic when you say it. Be sincere.
- You donŌĆÖt have to agree that these are huge problems. Even if everything the complainer says sounds trivial to you, remember that it feels like a huge problem to him or her wouldnŌĆÖt go on about it. What seems trivial to one person can be a huge problem for others. So youŌĆÖre not saying ŌĆ£Yes, I agree thatŌĆÖs a huge problemŌĆØ. And youŌĆÖre certainly not saying ŌĆ£Oh, poor poor youŌĆØ in a sarcastic voice. YouŌĆÖre just acknowledging the fact that this is a huge problem for that person. Which undeniably it is.
3Be patient and realistic. Does this trick make the complaining go away? Only sometimes. But it keeps you from being part of a vicious cycle of responses that just makes the complainers complain more and more and more. The cycle is cut at the point you take their distress seriously. Try this approach on your favorite complainer and leave your response on the discussion page of this article telling everyone how it goes!Ad

I wonder what would happen if the world's storytellers and artists were to throw themselves into making the 2014 summit succeed. Invite the wizards of digital creation and distribution, the social media entrepreneurs and software geniuses, the networks and studios, to lend their talents to a communication campaign. Imagine if film-, video- and game-makers, musicians, photographers, screenwriters, graphic novelists, comedians, actors, essayists and fashionistas were inspired to tell the tale of climate change.

Aurore II
(Yacht: t. 85; l. 96'3"; b. 18'0"; dr. 5'0" (mean); s. 12 k.; cpl. 16; a. 1 3-pdr., 1 1-pdr., 3 mg.)
Aurore II—a twin-screw, wooden-hulled, steam yacht built at Stamford, Conn., in 1916 by the Luders Marine Construction Co.— was purchased by the Navy from Stuart Wyeth of Philadelphia and placed in commission at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 1 October 1917.
The yacht served in the 3d Naval District through the end of World War I and into the summer of 1919. She functioned as a patrol and dispatch boat in the Delaware estuary and in coastal waters near the Delaware capes. She also carried passengers in the same area.
Decommissioned on 12 August 1919, Aurora II was sold on 24 September 1919 to Mr. J. A. Branden of New York City.
