Strike Back (2013) Description :
Strike Back is a British action and military television series, based on a novel of the same name by novelist and former Special Air Service (SAS) soldier Chris Ryan. The series follows the actions of Section 20, a secretive branch of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), who operate several high risk, priority missions throughout the globe. The series began broadcasting on Sky1 on 5 May 2010, showing the first six-part series. After a second series was commissioned, it was announced that Cinemax would co-produce the franchise. The first episode of the ten-part second series, undergoing the banner title Project Dawn in the United Kingdom, first aired on Cinemax on 12 August 2011. On 3 October 2012, Cinemax and Sky commissioned a fourth series, to be broadcast sometime in 2013.[1][2]
Executive producer Andy Harries gained hold of the novel and pitched a television adaption to Sky, even though he had not read it. Sky commissioned the series as part of a £10 million commitment to adapt novels into original dramas following the successes of adapting Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. Following Cinemax's participation from the second series, the series faced a re-imagining due to the absence of first series lead Richard Armitage, who was at the time filming The Hobbit in New Zealand. Before filming several cast members participated in bootcamp training by former SAS and Special Boat Service (SBS) officers. The series was filmed on location in South Africa, although parts of the second series were filmed in Hungary.
Ratings for Strike Back was relatively high for the original networks. The Sky1 premiere was viewed by almost 400,000 viewers (according to overnight figures), tripling the average audience share for the channel's time slot after three months. Project Dawn premiered to over 600,000. The Cinemax premiere in the meantime, saw the network its best ratings since 2005. The first two seasons have been released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
Strike Back (2013) Plot Summary :

US officials understood the Israeli reliance on force to expand and control territory, which they criticized while recognizing Israel's military superiority as compared to that of surrounding Arab states. It was on the basis of such force that Israel altered the balance of power in the Middle East in 1948. And it was on the basis of such developments that Washington calculated that Israel could be useful in the protection of US regional interests.
Irene Gendzier
[L]et's face it. It isn't that we don't know what happened in 1947-1948. It's that we've chosen not to see or hear anything that jars our thinking on the subject. Certain words and ideas have remained taboo, certain questions have been sidelined as suspect and certain histories – ours and theirs – have been excised, the better to educate us to numbness and indifference. The result is that we prefer to think of Israeli-Arab wars as instances of the much lamented 'clashes of civilization' that pit our civilized allies against the violence-prone 'other,' As long as our side wins, there is no need to look into the face of the 'enemy,' or to ask ourselves why and why again? Admittedly, doing so risks discovering that 'they' are like us, which is as disconcerting as learning that what the 'experts' have taught us about our history and theirs is often plain wrong, leaving us to discover that deception can be dangerous.
The US and Israel have both been intent on forestalling the appearance of the Palestinian Authority before the UN, in case it succeeded in winning support for its unilateral declaration of Palestinian independence. This is a reversal of history: in 1948, the US regarded the prospect of an Israeli declaration of independence as a threat to its interests in the region, and the State Department, Defence Department and CIA were worried about such an outcome.
What will the Palestinians do at the UN in September? The question appears to haunt Washington and Tel Aviv as they prepare to block Palestinian attempts to obtain UN recognition, as though the very idea of such action represents a form of political impudence that merits the harshest international rejection. Sober accounts by Palestinians of what they may expect from a trip to the UN have done little to allay the dark cloud of suspicion that is fostered in mainstream accounts.
Does history matter? Over the course of the past few months the Obama administration has abandoned its putative efforts to engage Israel and the Palestinians in peace talks after their collapse in the face of Israel's continued settlement building on the West Bank. At the popular level and in the mainstream media, the response was one of familiar frustration with the allegedly intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict… In practice, the core issues have remained the same for over 60 years, with the role of the United States and U.S. interests, including defense industries — major components in perpetuating the conflict — expanding over the course of that period.
There was a revealing interlude in mid-September 2007, when the former Federal Reserve Chair, Alan Greenspan, was quoted in The Washington Post of Sept.17, 2007, as saying that "the removal of Saddam Hussein had been 'essential' to secure world oil supplies…." Greenspan's statement, that "the prime motive for the war in Iraq was oil," apparently shocked the White House, leading an anonymous White House official to explain, "well, unfortunately, we can't talk about oil." The former Federal Reserve Chair was already on record as conceding that he was 'saddened that it was "politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.
The PR war being waged by Israel over coverage of its invasion of Gaza is a critical part of maintaining the US public, if not the US government, in a state of maximal ignorance and above all, indifference, to the meaning of what is taking place in Gaza.

One Dead In Monroe County Crash
A Monroe County man is dead after an early morning Christmas Eve accident. 35 year old Kevin Mahan was driving on State Hwy 71 early Saturday morning when he failed to negotiate a curve, traveled off the highway and rolled over in the adjacent ditch line. Mahan was pronounced dead at the scene by Monroe County Medical examiner Toni Wissestad.
She says he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and
both speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in the crash.
The crash

Two Hurt In Weekend CrashTwo people were hurt, one seriously, in a Christmas Eve afternoon crash in the Monroe County town of Lincoln. It happened about 2:20 p.m. on Highway 12. A car driven by 54 year old Diane Krogstad of Black River Falls was south bound on Hwy 12 approaching the intersection of Cty Hwy EW when a vehicle driven by 44 year old Mary Miner of Tomah Wisconsin pulled out of a parking lot in front of Krogsta. Miner had to be extricated from her vehicle by the Jaws of Life. A passenger in the vehicle, Percy Miner was unhurt. Krogstad was also injured in the crash......she was transported to Tomah memorial hospital with non life threatening injuries. Miner was taken by Tomah ambulance with life threatening injuries and was later transferred to Gunderson Lutheran in LaCrosse via Med-link Helicopter. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash. Tomah Man Hurt In CrashAn early morning accident in Monroe County left a Tomah man hurt early Saturday morning. It happened in the Town of Clifton where 21 year old William Georgeson was not able to tell officers when or where the accident happened. Deputies were able to put things together and searched and area just east of Clifton for the accident scene. At 7:15 am the vehicle was located on Cty Hwy A just west of Justice Rd. Georgeson had gone of the road into a corn field on the north side of Cty hwy A at Krypton Rd. He then drove threw the field and crossed over Justice Rd and continued west until he hit a tree just off of Cty Hwy A. Georgeson was treated for minor injuries. The crash remains under investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff's Department. Former Mayor Medinger Talks About Retiring KondrackiAfter 19 years, La Crosse police chief Ed Kondracki is retiring. John Medinger inherited chief Kondracki when he became mayor in 1997. Medinger talked to Mitch Reynolds on WIZM last night./ Number 6 on Newsroom Top Ten Stories for 2011There's been a whole lot of construction going on this year at La Crosse's most prominent feature. In fact, the restoration of Bliss Road and a construction project at Grandad Bluff Park was our newsroom's number six local news story on the list of top ten for the year. The Bliss road project was marked by financial cooperation among the city of La Crosse, the county and two towns Mayor Matt Harter. Bliss reopened in the fall after being closed for more than a year due to a washout. Meanwhile, a one million dollar construction project at Grandad Bluff Park was supposed to be complete by mid-November but that has been delayed until spring. |

Chechnya profile
Chechnya presents a formidable challenge to the media outlets operating there and journalists attempting to cover events on the ground.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) lists President Kadyrov as one of its "Predators of Press Freedom". "Self-censorship reigns within the traumatised and intimidated media, reinforced by a climate of complete impunity," RSF said, following a 2011 fact-finding visit.
Television is the most popular source for news and entertainment and almost every household has a TV set. Russian stations are widely available. Grozny TV broadcasts under the umbrella of ChGTRK, which is run by the Chechen authorities.
A handful of local radio stations competes with local relays of Russian private and state-owned networks. Newspaper print runs are small and distribution is patchy.
Advertising revenue is scant and media outlets are wholly reliant on state subsidies or powerful sponsors.
Separatist and jihadist websites spread a different view of events. They include Chechenpress, operated by the internationally unrecognised government in exile.
President Kadyrov blogs via the Russian LiveJournal platform. Local bloggers appear to avoid criticism of the local administration. More than 200,000 Chechens use Russian social media platforms Odnoklassniki and Vkontakte.

Kershaw Knives
The Cryo has been one of the most popular new Kershaw knives to be released in a decade, and they have continued to expand the offering with new sizes and handle materials. This version is probably the best suited for a real-world EDC of any they have made to date!
The Kershaw Cryo, designed by Rick Hinderer, is one of Kershaw's best-selling knives. And now it's available with one of our customers' most-asked-for modifications: a G-10 front scale.
This new Cryo not only looks good, it also offers the extra grip some of you have been asking for. The G-10 scale also lightens the overall weight of this very practical knife.
The Cryo was the result of collaboration between Rick Hinderer and the design and production engineers at Kershaw. It's designed to satisfy users' craving for a Hinderer knife, but at a price that meets the demands of their wallets. The original Cryo (model 1555TI) was selected as a Blade Show "Best Buy" and as Men's Journal Approved Gear.
Like all Cryos, the G-10-handled Cryo is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening for smooth and easy one-handed opening. Access it with the built-in flipper or thumbstud. The blade steel is heat treated to Kershaw's exacting standards. The handle has a G-10 front scale with a stainless steel back. A sturdy frame lock secures the blade open during use and a Hinderer lockbar stabilizer ensures the lock doesn't over-extend.
The new Cryo G-10 is equipped with a four-position deep-carry pocketclip for maximum carry flexibility and discretion.
- Flipper - May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
- SpeedSafe® - Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
- Frame Lock - A portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. This is a safety feature of the knife.
- Quad-carry - The user may position the pocketclip for tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed carry.
- SpeedSafe assisted opening
- Frame lock
- Flipper and thumbstud
- Quad-carry (tip-up/tip-down; left/right) pocketclip; deep-carry
- Steel: 8Cr13MoV stainless, stonewashed finish
- Handle: Black G-10 with Stainless Steel Back
- Blade length: 2-3/4" (7 cm)
- Closed length: 3-3/4" (9.5 cm)
- Overall length: 6-1/2" (16.5 cm)
- Weight: 4.1 oz. (116.2 g)
- Made in China
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.

Don't be a "Glasshole," it saysGlass connected eyewear is expected to hit the market by the end of the yearGoogle has heard all the concerns about Glass, its digital headset expected to hit the market by the end of the year.They've heard people's fears they'll be secretly recorded by a Glass-wearing creeper. They know somebody's going to be stupid and drive while using them. And, yes, they know that some people might think you're a "Glasshole."So, now, they're serving up a list of "do's" and "don'ts" to avoid those awkward moments and get the most out of what may be the most high-profile entry in the emerging wearable-tech market.On its website for Glass, Google has posted advice for testers in its current Explorer program and, presumably, the folks who will be entering the world of Glass when the headset goes on sale to the public. Here's a breakdown of some of our favorites.Just WatchedGoogle Glass: view from a firefighterreplayMore Videos ...Google Glass: view from a firefighter 00:50PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedJudge tosses Google Glass driving ticketreplayMore Videos ...Judge tosses Google Glass driving ticket 01:16PLAY VIDEODO: Ask for permission"Standing alone in the corner of a room staring at people while recording them through Glass is not going to win you any friends," Google says. "The Glass camera function is no different from a cell phone so behave as you would with your phone and ask permission before taking photos or videos of others."Fears about privacy around Google Glass have been one of the device's biggest hurdles on its path toward acceptance. Restaurants have banned them, and complete strangers have confronted testers because of the device's ability to shoot photos and video.Easing those fears will be important for Google as it moves forward.DON'T: Be creepy or rude (aka a "Glasshole") Yes, Google itself used the derogatory term "Glasshole" (although it's been massaged into a description of bad behavior, as opposed to its broader meaning as a slur, voiced by some critics, used to describe anybody wearing the headset).This is the flip side of the first entry."If you're asked to turn your phone off, turn Glass off as well," Google writes. "Breaking the rules or being rude will not get businesses excited about Glass and will ruin it for other Explorers."DO: Take advantage of the Glass voice commandsThis is the real advantage of a lot of wearable tech. You don't have to fiddle around with it like you do a smartphone. But we mostly just like Google's hypothetical scenarios here:"Glass can free your hands up to do other things like golfing, cooking, or juggling flaming torches while balancing on a beach ball."DON'T: Glass outGoogle is pushing Glass as a way of getting quick updates or performing quick actions, as a complement to other mobile devices instead of a replacement."If you find yourself staring off into the prism for long periods of time you're probably looking pretty weird to the people around you," the post reads. "So don't read War and Peace on Glass."DO: Use screen lockOnce you've customized your Glass, bad guys who get their hands on it will have access to your e-mail and other sources of personal information, just as if they'd snagged your phone or laptop.DON'T: Wear it and expect to be ignoredGoogle is treating its Explorers (many of whom forked over $1,500 for the right to say they were first) as walking billboards for the product.They don't want those billboards acting like ... well ... Glassholes."If you're worried about someone interrupting that romantic dinner at a nice restaurant with a question about Glass, just take it off and put it around the back of your neck or in your bag," says Google.Around the back of your neck? That sounds like a fashion faux pas -- and another "don't" to us.More from techNASA to send submarine into spaceThe balloons that could fly tourists to the edge of spaceCEO lays out Blackberry's futurePowered by Livefyre

Sappho to Valéry: Poems in Translation, John Frederick Nims. | 4 of the longer fragments; Greek included. | Translations of many other poets. |
Compare these translations of the first (of five) stanzas in Fragment 16. [A fragment number is shown only where a translator used a different number from that used by Anne Carson and others.]
Sequence shows the most recent first.
Anne Carson in If Not, Winter (2002) translates the first stanza as:
Some men say an army of horse and some men say an army on foot and some men say an army of ships is the more beautiful thing on the black earth. But I say it is what you love. |
Paul Roche translates this as in his poem 55, in his The Love Songs of Sappho (1998) [p. 83]:
A cavalry corps, a column of men, A flotilla in line, is the finest thing In this rich world to see -- for some ... but for me It's the person you love. |
Margaret Williamson (1995) make interesting use of square brackets to echo the losses from the original due to papyrus damage, giving this start, from The Sappho Companion (2000) by Margaret Reynolds [p. 37]:
[So]me an army on horseback, some an army on foot and some say a fleet of ship i[s] the loveliest sight o[n this] da[r]k earth; but I say it is what- ever you desire. |
David Constantine (1983) from The Sappho Companion (2000) by Margaret Reynolds [p. 36]:
Some say nothing on earth excels in beauty Fighting men, and call incomparable the lines Of horse or foot or ship. Let us say rather Best is what one loves. |
Guy Davenport in 7 Greeks (1976-1995) translates this in his poem 25, with first stanza :
A company of horsemen or of infantry Or a fleet of ships, some say, Is the black earth's finest sight, But to me it is what you love. |
John Frederick Nims translates Sappho's first stanza as Fragment 16 in his Sappho to Valéry: Poems in Translation (1971) [p. 289]:
Some prefer a glory of horsemen; warships, some; a phalanx, some -- as the dark horizon's finest sight. No -- listen to me! -- the best is what you're in love with. |
Willis Barnstone translates Sappho's first stanza in his poem 124 thus, in his Sappho and the Greek Lyric Poets (1962, 1988) [p. 66]:
Some say cavalry and others claim infantry or a fleet of long oars is the supreme sight on the black earth. I say it is the one you love. |
Twelve hundred years of ancient testimony (roughly 600 B.C. to 600 A.D.) insisted that Sappho was the greatest woman poet the world had known, and, with her male contemporaries, Anacreon and Alcaeus, on of the greatest practitioners -- perhaps the greatest practitioner -- of love poetry |
I have arranged my Sappho
in six different "books"e;
roughly following the line of her moods
and ending with the touching nostalgia
of her middle and old age.
Lastly let me acknowledge that I have followed the lead of Ms. Barnard in providing headings for most of the poems and fragments. These are probabilities suggested by the context in which the poem was quoted in antiquity, or otherwise conjecture from Sappho's own background. The headings are supplementary and supply the sense of missing lines, besides giving a setting and a sequence to what otherwise would be unfocused. |
Appendix: "Some Notes on the Dilemma of Translating Sappho". A particularly interesting and helpful section.
the two schemes of metric, quantity and stress, do not in fact run counter to each other, but parallel, and possess between them a perfect analogy of metric. What has been left out is ... the fact that Greek and English share ... a treasury of spoken rhymes where quantity and stress become almost interchangeable terms. ... In Greek you have schemes of quantitative rhythm which cut across the natural accents or stress values of words. In English you have schemes of stress rhythm which cut across the natural accents or stress values of the words. The difference is that in English the stress values of the syllables is not constant, whereas in Greek the quantitative value of the syllable (within certain limits) is. |
Lists 11 basic feet in Greek poetry and 13 principal meters used by Sappho.
Thirty of the 213 then-known fragments selected "to give some indication of the flavour of Sappho's work, her themes and subjects, as well as some sense of the world for which the poetry was created". The best things about this sections are:
The development of Sappho's reputation among Greeks and then Romans.
The disappearance of Sappho's poetry just before the start of the European Dark Ages. The glimpses of Sappho beginning in the Renaissance.
17th-century Sappho studies in France and Britain.
18th-century Sappho studies in France and Britain. Includes Alexander Pope.
High opinions of Sappho become expressed more widely, including by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Includes the direction for an play, an 18th-century ballet, and a 19th-century drama, all about Sappho.

New information about doctors notes comes to light
When patients have access to the notes their doctors write summarizing an office visit, they tend to become better patients, according to a new study in the annals of internal medicine. Researchers found, people said they not only understood their medical issues more clearly after examining their doctor's notes, but were more likely to take their medicines and felt more in control of their care.
The year long study included approximately 100 primary care doctors and more than 13,000 patients. Most patients read at least one note, which they received electronically, and a little less than half then returned surveys about the experience.
Virtually all who responded in writing wanted the practice to continue, though some were worried about privacy.
Doctors concerns that the experiment might take up too much of their time meaning longer notes and a barrage of messages from patients were largely unfounded. Some doctors did report changing the way their notes addressed mental health issues, obesity, substance abuse and the spread of cancer.
The next step is assessing this practice on a broader scale.
In the meantime, it might not be a bad idea to ask your doctor for a glimpse at those notes he or she is jotting down in your chart.

CWS' Sammy Mutua works with partners and colleagues to analyze protection risks in the Horn of Africa, as a part of a CWS Protection Workshop in Nairobi, Kenya Photo: Jessica Eby
CWS is working to ensure that all of its programs help protect the safety, dignity and fundamental rights of the individuals and the communities with whom they work. Whether responding to a disaster, addressing a complex emergency or fostering long-term development, CWS provides technical expertise to ensure that its programs are designed and carried out in a way that avoids creating additional risk in communities and prioritizes the needs of highly vulnerable people. Beyond integrating these standards and supporting principles across its programs, CWS is actively working toward its primary and ultimate goal of helping communities better protect themselves.
CWS provides trainings and support to staff and partners around the world and offers technical resources, including a manual and training module. CWS undertakes protection assessments and research in priority crises and disasters, and participates in a variety of relevant forums, discussions and coordination bodies. Drawing from this range of activities, CWS prioritizes protection issues within our advocacy efforts, particularly advocating for the protection of forcibly displaced people.
Protection Resources
Putting Safety and Dignity First: A guide to protective action in programming
The CWS protection mainstreaming manual and training pack are resources for CWS staff and partners as they seek to promote the safety, dignity and fundamental rights of individuals in all programs. The manual describes what protection is, who needs it, and the role that nongovernmental organizations and other actors play in providing it. The training pack includes 13 activities designed to provide an understanding of protection and practical guidance on how to apply the protection framework to programming.
How CWS programs are protecting civilians' safety and dignity
This article, published in the March 2010 issue of Humanitarian Exchange Magazine, highlights the work of Church World Service in Afghanistan and the Giving Hope program, particularly in Kenya, and how that work is fostering community-based protection and empowerment.

Kokomo leaders keeping eye on strippers, push for licensing of exotic dancers
City has 5 adult clubs
KOKOMO, Ind. - Kokomo leaders are taking on the people in their community who take it off.
A City Council committee met Monday to discuss plans to license adult entertainers who perform at Kokomo's five adults clubs.
City Councilman Bob Cameron said his city has a reputation as the place to go for adult entertainment, and he is not proud of that image.
"It's immoral, I don't care what you say," Cameron said.
Cameron said the council wants to make it difficult for the clubs to stay open, and they want to send a message that "big brother is looking over them."
"From a Constitutional standpoint, we can't close them," he said. "We can make it hard on them to live up to what's supposed to be law."
The club Fantasy Girls didn't withstand the scrutiny; it's closed and facing demolition in 30 days. Code enforcement officials deemed the building unsafe.
Leaders say the problem with having five adult clubs is the illegal activity they mask.
"I know personally, I've had people tell me that one of their daughters ended up there. She's only 17, but they allowed it, and that's where we need to get the licensing involved," said Cameron.
Kokomo councilwoman Cynthia Sanders said she is concerned about the role Kokomo's strip clubs might play in human trafficking.
"Agencies, a lot of times, they get girls and they move them from one city to another city to another city to perform, and so they're involved in human trafficking," Sanders said.
Sanders said she's concerned that the women working at adult clubs have been given drugs and forced to perform against their will, and she added that sexually oriented businesses increase the likelihood of other types of harm coming to the community.
"We know that when they're involved in that -- those types of activities -- that there are broken homes a lot of times, there's other things involved with drugs, pornography, many things that harm our community," she said. "Certainly I don't condone and I don't believe that sexually orientated businesses are a good thing. I think they're negative. I think that they hurt people. They hurt everybody... it's our responsibility to try to do something."

At the highest setting for most cribs, the crib mattress is approximately 20-inches from the floor. When the crib mattress is lowered, as the child grows, the space is approximately 14-inches from the floor for most cribs. You may select one to use for the duration of your baby's crib use or you may choose to order both if you wish for the crib skirt to be flush with the floor at each height setting.

Realtor's nationwide 'home search' ahead this weekend
This weekend's "nationwide open house," heartily supported by Realtors throughout the region, is the homebuyers' chance to tour many homes at one time ... and maybe close the deal on their own dream home. | FILE PHOTO
The 2013 Realtor Nationwide Open House Weekend will take place this Saturday and Sunday, April 20-21, with many Realtors extending invitations to potential home buyers to get out and see a variety of city and suburban homes.
Potential buyers may want to get out while an attractively priced inventory is still available. According to the latest monthly data, the February 2013 supply of single-family homes in the city of Chicago was down 46 percent compared to the same time last year, and the supply of condos was down 62.6 percent from February 2012. In addition to the number of homes on the market dropping, the home affordability in Chicago is also slowly going down.
"The current market renewal leaves no question about Chicagoans' continued desire for homeownership," said Realtor Zeke Morris, president of the Chicago Association of Realtors and Operating Principal and Managing Broker at Keller Williams Realty, CCG. "For anyone debating home buying in the near future, now is the time to act."
"This is a real advantage to the public. They can go in without an appointment or obligation and look around, and they are able to see a lot," said Frank Turk, marketing director for Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell, based in Joliet. "A lot of our agents are having open houses."
The Greater Northwest Indiana Association of Realtors (GNIAR) members are also participating. Locally, open houses will be held at varied times throughout Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Jasper and Newton counties.
"This is the fourth year for this event. We're excited for consumers to see what the local housing market has to offer. Northwest Indiana is an amazing place to call home for many reasons from our affordability, tax caps in our legislature, overall quality of life and diversity of this area and so much more," said GNIAR Chief Executive Officer Peter Novak, Jr.
Realtor Nationwide Open House Weekend is a program designed to bring buyers and sellers together and provide an opportunity for Realtors to educate consumers in their communities about housing issues that matter most to them.
To see some of the local properties participating in the Realtor Nationwide Open House Weekend, contact a Chicago or suburban Realtor who can help you identify opportunities in any of Chicago's 77 neighborhoods, as well as the surrounding communities. In addition, search for Open Houses at Realtor.com.
Realtor Nationwide Open House Weekend is a partnership of the Chicago Association of Realtors, local real estate brokerages and individual Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and other state and local associations.
The Chicago Association of Realtors is the "Voice for Real Estate" in Chicago since 1883, representing nearly 11,000 members from all real estate specialties including commercial sales, development, property management, appraisal, auctions and residential sales.

Days in Avalon (2000)

This was the only release on the label created by Marx and Blood, Sweat, and Tears drummer Bobby Colomby.

I really didn`t have any plans to record prior to doing My Own Best Enemy.
And to any new fans we made along the way, I say... welcome to our party. It`s just starting to get going.
