Noanet - Hale Walk
Date/Time: Sunday 1/11/2015 10:00:00 AM
Status: Running
Contact: Michael Schuttenberg
|NOANET WOODLANDS WALK - Dover, MA - 1/11/15, 10am
Walk in Noanet Woodlands and Hale Reservation.
Michael writes: I'd like to spend several hours in the woods and on these trails located in the towns of Dover and Westwood southwest of Boston. Hale Res. and Noannet Woodlands are adjoining reservations managed by separate agencies, but both offer nice trails with some high points with quite nice views, as well as several ponds, brooks, and a historic mill site. Hike will probably be at least five miles, lasting three hours or so. Trails should be dry and are not steep or difficult but bring along whatever tools you think you might use that day---ice creepers/crampons if you have them might be good idea, but probably not essential here---and I'm also not expecting to have to get off the trails for any fox hunt going on: several years ago, a few dozen charging steeds with riders in their Pinques created quite an impressive and memorable event as they thundered by us.
Meet: 10am, Caryl Park Lot, Dover, MA. Caryl Park is about 0.5 mile northeast of the center of Dover on Dedham St. From Rt. 128/95, Exit #17 Rt. 135W (heading towards Needham). Needham Avenue (Rt. 135) becomes Dedham Avenue in Needham. At the first light, take a left on South St. After 0.6 mile, bear left to stay on South St. Do not go straight on to High Rock Road. Take a left on Chestnut St. at the blinking red light. Go 0.3 mile and bear right as Chestnut becomes Dedham Street when you cross town line into Dover. Caryl Park is 2 miles from this point. You will see Mill Farm (White Barn) on the left side of the road. Right after the barn is Caryl Park/Noanet Woodlands Reservation on the left. NOTE: There is another parking lot also named Caryl Park, closer to Dover center at the soccer fields. Do NOT park there, unless you want to walk up to the other lot to meet us.

Sad News From JanetLA
I know that many of you remember our friend Janet from Louisiana whose husband Mike was battling cancer. They tried experimental treatments that worked for awhile but I received an email from Janet today and the treatments stopped working and Mike passed away on January 17th. She stated his passing was quick and peaceful. My heart is breaking for her. She wanted all of you who have been so spportive and encouraging to she and Mike to know. May God give her peace and strength.
Good Journey, Mike. Janet, I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mother to cancer, and it is devastating. Prayers for peace for you and yours, and may time heal the pain and leave you with smiles at the memories.
Janet, my most sincere sympathies for your loss. If anyone ever fought a good fight, it was Mike. Hopefully he left you with some of that strength now that he's no longer using it.
Prayers for peace for his soul and also for your heart....
My dear Janet...there are no words. I am just sending you all my love and prayers and hope you know that my heart is with you. You are a precious angel and have been with Mike every step of the way. I know that in time you will learn to live with this tremendous loss but there is so little I can say that will help right now.
Love and my deepest sympathy,
Janet I am so sad about your loss, please accept my sympathy.
May the Good Lord hold you and steer you through this difficult time.
There are many of us who have lost a loved one, we know how painful it can be, please feel free to reach out to us, we will help all we can.
Im sorry to hear about this, I know sorry dosnt cut it but I wish you all the help and support you can get. Im glad to say I got to meet you both at Jamies...DH will be much distressed over your loss. He was a good fellow.
Love and hugs from us.
Janet, I'm very sorry to see he's reached the end of his fight. He's now at peace and no longer in pain. I know this will help you in the rough year ahead. He fought like heck, thankfully it bought him more time; more time which you will cherish. You and you're family will be in my thoughts. (((HUG)))
If you need an ear, email me.
Hi Everyone, just wanted to check in and let y'all know that I'm doing ok. I took this week off from work, both to rest some and to start tending to some of the many details that follow a death. God has been very gracious to our family through Mike's illness and death. The original diagnosis of melanoma was in Oct. 2003, and the reoccurance and spread to the lungs and adrenal gland was in May of 2005. During that time, we have had both hard times and really good times. Last year (2006) was a very good year for us - he was in a clinical trial that had almost NO side effects and that shrunk the tumors drastically.....that worked from March through September. Even though the October scan showed that the tumors were starting to grow again, he had no symptoms until early November and it didn't get bad until after Thanksgiving. Those 8 months from mid March through mid November were a gift from God - Mike felt good, went back to work part time, and we got to spend lots of quality time together. The last 7-8 weeks were difficult, but God used even those hard times.....as Mike got worse and withdrew more and more from us, we were also adjusting to the fact that even though he was sitll with us, he wasn't "with" us much. Even with him sleeping a lot and emotionally withdrawing and preparing to leave us, he perked up enough to hold and take pictures with his newest Grandson only two days before he died (Joseph Michael was born 4 days before he died, and stopped by on his way home from the hospital). We all figured that he was holding on to see the baby, and were not surprised that he left us so soon afterward. It really was a blessing that he went so quickly once things got bad...it was very difficult to watch him suffer.
Some of you know that this is the 2nd husband that I've lost - the first was to a car accident nearly 22 years ago. So, although the method was different, I've been through this before. The blessing in that is that I have a much different perspective on my life this time. Last time, I was 29 years old with 4 small children and couldn't imagine having a good life ahead of me. However, God had a wonderful life planned for me (19 1/2 years with Mike), and I know that he still has a plan for my life. I miss Mike, and know that there will be so many times that I want to tell him something and he won't be there - those times, and the Saturday mornings that we always sat on our patio drinking coffee, looking over the garden, and watching the squirrels, birds, and butterflies will be the hardest. Those times will also be the sweetest, because that's where I have so many precious memories to hold on to. Anyway, even though I know I have some difficult times ahead, I'm looking forward to moving on with my life and seeing what's ahead for me. As soon as the never ending rain goes away (I'm assuming that will EVENTUALLY happen, lol), I plan to get back out in my garden. It's already calling me :)))
I want to say thank you one more time to all of you who have walked through this with me and have been such an encouragement. Your prayers and support have meant much!

Okay guys, today you get the usual bidaily update of the featured article. Here comes the synopsis!
Today's Featured Article - Raphael
Raphael (1483-1520), he of the sickly smiling Madonna and Child paintings, the School of Athens fresco at the Vatican and the Galatea slap-on work, hasn't aged so well as regards his artistic reputation. No one cites him as an influence except the purveyors of the chocolate box school of artists whose work can often be found staring down at you from Catholic Church cathedrals. Raphael lived well and died in his late 30s, just before he would have lost his hair and developed a paunch.
Raphael became exceedingly filthy rich, successful and the toast of Renaissance Rome. He must have been insufferable to all those who crossed his path: Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo could rare agree on anything but both hated the 'boy' with intense passion, especially Michelangelo who was rumoured to have been turned down for a bit of man-on-man action with the young pretender when they both worked on the Sistine Chapel. He could have become a saint except in the manner of his death - a heart attack after some rigorous in-studio rogering of his favourite mistress Margherita Luti.
Born Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, 'Raphe' grew up with angelic kiss-me-quick hair curls and a smile that got him a lot of work - and clients amongst the cassock lifters in the Roman Catholic Church. These were the days before Martin Luther's banging rude jokes on church doors and at time when the Papacy was in a full, florid corruption that so angered the sober sided Christians that they would later smash up churches in the manner of Gaiseric the Vandal a thousand years earlier.
Blessed with Italian pretty boy genes and a smeary palette, Raphael soon showed he knew how to get work. This essentially meant from two sources: The Catholic Church or rich italians who wanted to boast of their achievements and attractions with portraits. Others wanted suitable cultural pagan myths illustrated for bedroom stimulation. In reply, Raphael just gave them a lot of Madonnas with Jesus sitting pretty on her lap. (more...)
Yesterday's Featured Article - Jeb Bush
John Ellis Bush (born February 11, 1953) is a son of George H.W. Bush ("Bush 41") and younger brother of George W. Bush ("Bush 43"), whom many people are touting as "Bush 45" assuming that yet another Presidential campaign between a Bush and a Clinton will be more nearly winnable than waiting for new ideas from the Republican Party.
Jeb was governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. This gives him a record of executive experience a voter could study which, unlike that of Hillary Clinton, does not feature cover-ups, "bimbo" eruptions, or murdered ambassadors. He even killed 1 mass-transit project, and that is more than the other two President Bushes combined, though Florida voters did a brief end-run around him and resurrected it, at which time, he drove a stake through its heart, cremated it, and opened the urn in a tornado. In fact, the only storm on his horizon is not his past but the stuff that continues coming out of his mouth in the present.
Jeb was born in Midland, Texas, at a time when most Texans were preoccupied either reading J.R.R. or trying to determine who killed J.R. It will surprise the reader to learn that "Jeb" is an acronym for Jeb's given name — and a damned better acronym than U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T., which should have occurred to his brother George W. after the September 11 attacks. If he had named it the Jeb Act, we would not have to futz with secret anti-terrorism courts and could have put telescreens right in living rooms by now.
In fact, it was not until the age of 34 that the family gave Jeb any nickname at all, a slight that surely weighs on the adult. With being passed over in favor of his father and older brother for President, these continuing slights suggest that this obvious third fiddle might compensate by returning to the Middle East or even starting a personal nuclear war. However, either decision could set the stage for a pity-based re-election campaign in 2020, the first since Hubert Humphrey confessed that his campaign sucked and threw himself on the mercy of the American electorate. Focus groups are already testing slogans such as, "What is he, chopped liver?" (more...)

Gratuitous Window Dressing, Part 2
The command line rules!
There. I feel much better. On to today's column.
If you have run the X Window System in any way shape or form, you'll have accumulated a number of interesting files in your home directory. They have names like ".Xclients", ".Xauthority", and ".xinitrc" to name a few. What are these mysterious (dare I say it again) ".X" files? Well, before I go into that, let's start by looking at the program that invariably makes use of these files, a little something called xinit.
xinit is the master program for starting your graphical desktop. Using various ".X" files, xinit will create, build and otherwise start up your X session. But wait? Isn't that the idea behind startx? Well, in a sense, yes...and no. You see, the problem with using xinit to start your X session is that it is so darn complicated (or at the very least, wordy).
startx is actually just a Bourne shell front end to xinit. In fact, if you take a look through the file more /path_to/startx, you'll find that after setting a number of variable, paths and so on, xinit is finally called to start X. That path, by the way, is pretty much always one of the following.
/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/X11
Remember that really boring X terminal that I had you start in the first article of this series? What you did was create an empty ".xinitrc" file with nothing but a single line that read "xterm" in it. Then, I had you type startx to bring up the X Window System. What you wound up with was a plain X terminal that you could not move, resize or modify in any way. About the only interesting thing that I can think of doing in that environment is to type something like wmaker to bring up a desktop manager so you can actually do work. But that's a pretty weird way of doing things, and I digress.
You could have used the xinit command to start that xterm as well. From a console screen, you would type this command:
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Similarly, you can start your desktop system from the command line in the same way. For instance, I could start KDE with:
xinit /usr/bin/startkde
Here is what happens when you type startx. The shell script checks for the existence of a local ".xinitrc" file. In its absence, it then looks for the system wide version. This is called simply "xinitrc" (no dot at the beginning) and is usually found at /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Your personal xinitrc file, the one that begins with a dot, can be quite simple, as in the case of the one line that said "exec xterm". The system-wide version is a bit more complex and checks for the existence of other .X files to pull into your configuration. For those of you running Red Hat, things are a tiny bit different. Your system-wide xinitrc file checks for the existence of something called "Xclients" or, its local version, ".Xclients".
In a sense, .xinitrc and .Xclients serve pretty much the same purpose. On a Red Hat system, you'll notice that in the absence of a local .Xclients file, it looks to the Xclients file (sitting at /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients). If you don't have an .Xclients file, Red Hat starts GNOME by default. That's a global setting. You can alter this behaviour (particularly if you have several users logging in to one workstation) by modifying the global Xclients file. Look for the line near the top of /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients that says "PREFERRED=". That variable is set to null right now. Change it to whatever you would prefer as the default desktop. If you wanted KDE, then that line would read as follows.
For the GNOME crowd, replace starkde with gnome-session. You rebels out there running ICE or WindowMaker...we'll get to you soon enough...in a follow-up article. Before I move on to something else, I want to mention one other X file. This one is ".wm_style" and, if you follow your global Xclients file, you'll see that it looks to something called .wm_style. This is the local user preference window manager. Just to make things extremely complicated, this is another alternative to .Xclients that allows for some free form expression. The global Xclients file looks for several variations of the window manager names. For instance, if you wanted to run WindowMaker, you could type WindowMaker, Windowmaker, WMaker or wmaker. Scan through the /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients file and you'll find the valid choices.
So, what other .X files do we have? .xserverrc defines the X server that you wish to run and is almost never used. The reason for this is that, by default, you run one and only one X server, whether it be your SVGA server, accelerated S3 server or a straight frame buffer server -- namely the one that works for your specific video card. If you don't set anything here, the system will run whatever /etc/X11/X is linked to. For instance, on the system I am using to write this article, X is linked to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64.
For the most part, people don't generally muck about with their X configurations once things work (more or less) pretty well -- unless, of course, they are the type of people who hang out on this corner. Nevertheless, those little .x_something or .X_something files that reside in your home directory do give you some amount of control as to just how your X environment behaves. Additionally, the .xinitrc file we talked about last week lets you make other changes even after you have finished configuring the X server with xf86config (or through the graphical install process). For example, one of the great annoyances that people run into is the misconfigured backspace key. You know...you wind up never backspacing because it adds some strange character you just can't shake.
Here's how you solve this annoyance. The easy fix is to define a new key with xmodmap, a utility designed specifically to remap keys for use under X. Let's pretend that you have a terminal session open and that your backspace key does not work. (If something is set up wrong, this is often the case.) Type the following:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 22=BackSpace'
You can also use the command to modify the behavior of your mouse. Let's say that you have a 3 button right-handed mouse, but you are left-handed. It would be really nice if you could reverse the order of the buttons. No problem. Try this.
xmodmap -e 'pointer = 3 2 1'
Suddenly, all of us right-handed people get to feel what it's like for our left-handed friends in a primarily right-handed world. If you want to put it back to what it was, change the sequence "3 2 1" back to "1 2 3", and everything will be as it was. Of course, this is not what we want to do each and every time we restart X. To make the changes permanent, add the command to your .xinitrc file just before the exec window_manager command (as discussed earlier).
We'll look at other ".X" files next time around and answer the question "what do you do when one desktop isn't enough?" We'll also start looking at different window managers and desktops and talk about their impact on the way you work and your system's limited resources. Then, I'll tell you how to override those nice defaults to make your system look like your system and yours alone.
Well, that should be enough to keep us all busy until next time. Take care everyone, and remember that a little gratuitous window dressing never hurt anyone. X needs no warning labels.

Old Generals Never Die - They just Wear a Red Hat
The Red Hat board of directors announced a new chairman Monday, August 30, to replace outgoing Matthew Szulik. Henry Hugh Shelton, retired Special Forces general, has been serving on the board since 2003 after leaving the elite Army division.
Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat president and CEO, said, "General Shelton is an individual of the utmost integrity. He has excelled in the numerous roles and positions held throughout his career and as a dedicated member of Red Hat's board of directors for more than seven years. General Shelton possesses the right combination of leadership, experience and industry knowledge to help guide Red Hat toward achieving its future goals."
The 68 year old Congressional Gold Medal recipient has plenty of business experience on his resume. He served as president of M.I.C. Industries, an international manufacturing company, for four years and on the boards of several other companies such as Anheuser-Busch Companies, CACI International Inc. and Anteon International Corporation.
The Red Hat stock price closed at $34.52 the Monday of the announcement, down from $35.16 the previous Friday. Red Hat stock prices have generally been going up all year and proves to be one of the most successful Open Source companies today. Red Hat is located in Raleigh, North Carolina and employs about 2,500 workers.
Susan Linton is a Linux writer and the owner of tuxmachines.org.
I can see it now....
Customer: We're looking at several options for a server OS...
Gen. Shelton: YOUUUUU LISTEN TO ME, TROOP!! YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO RUN LINUX, COMMA, RED HAT ENTERPRIIIIIIIIISE, ON EACH AND EVERY SERVER, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! NOW DROP AND GIVE ME ONE FOR EACH AND EVERY SERVER OF YOURS IS NOT AT THIS MOMENT RUNNING LINUX, COMMA, RED HAT ENTERPRIIIIIIIIISE!!
Customer, shaking in fear: SIR, YES SIR!! [breathless due to doing pushups] sysadminteam(gasp)getonthis(gasp)rightaway!
Gen. Shelton: THAT'S BETTER, GOOD WORK, CARRY ON, TROOPS!
OK, seriously, though, Gen. Shelton will make an excellent Chairman; he's certainly as qualified as they come. My congratulations go out to Gen. Shelton for being offered the Chairmanship, and to Red Hat for their good fortune that he accepted.
Elite Army division?
Which "elite Army division"? The Special Forces are not a "Division".
who cares, give the civilian
who cares, give the civilian a break.
The New Face
*Some* of the key performance metrics of the Red Hat stock seem to indicate to old guard stock management companies like Edward Jones, that there is a a lack of leadership up at the top. Red Hat seems to have made a business of bucking those metrics and doing so profitably. Even so I think I am going to really like the new face of Red Hat.

"Street Divas was AWESOME!"
Yes! The storyline of this book has the drama and intriguing plot that pulls the reader right in.
The ticking time bomb of the drama between Python and Fat Ace. The 2 brothers are arch enemies with a past that will hopefully bring the 2 of them together in a "happy" reunion. Their past is so very complex and someone knows what happend but "street-laws" says that no one snitches.
The narration of the story allows you, the reader, to feel every emotion of the character. The narrators "define" each of the characters involvement in the upcoming gang war that is simmering just beyond "enemy territory." In a few words, each narrator "played their part very well!"
The moment in the book that moved me was Christopher having to see his Dad kill his Mother. I hope that she is not really dead and that Christopher will soon be reunited with his family because Python is providing a environment that is conducive for healthy lifestyle. Someone has to be able to stop the "family cycle of gang involvement" although I am not too sure whether or not his Supercop grandfather is the household he needs to be reared in either.
This series is fast becoming one of my top series to read. De'Nesha Diamond has the right amount of drama and twist and turns interweaved into the plot to keep readers interested and wanting to read her novels for years to come.
"God Forgives...I don't"
!I wouldn't try another book narrated by Charles E. williams
This was my first book by Blake
Cary Heit or Ezra Knight
The narrator took so much away from the book and the plot that it was painful listening to this book. Williams is not a good narrator! If you can stomach the narration then this is a overall good book.
"K'Wan has done it again...#Team Animal"
Yes! The Hoodrat (Animal) series has me captavated!
The fact that Animal and his crew came out on top...again!
I enjoy all of Cary performances
#Team Animal!
This is an excellent addition to the series. The surprise cameos were surperb and welcomed. An MUST READ if you like the Hoodrat (Animal) series. Well worth the credit/money
""Great Listen""
I was somewhat skeptical about this book but I was elated to know that my Skepticism was put to rest after the first few pages. It was Mary B. Morrison at her best. The characters were vibrant and colorful. Madison selfishness and rich girl attitude would eventually lead down the wrong road. She seems to enjoy the "slippery slope" she walked on. Granville was just…how can I say it…delusional and Loretta, well… They all will get what they are asking for. I just hope that Chicago will come out unscathed, maybe?
"Great Book!"
I really enjoy the Hallelujah series and The Eleventh Commandment is a great addition. Sy & Hope are truely "real" Christians, especially Hope...that sistah is grounded in the Lord because I am not sure if I have enough faith & hope to accept what she did. Sy is a wonderful man & husband. Freita? what can I say...I am glad that she is finally growing up and hopefully she will have her hearts desire in the coming books. Stacey...a woman after my own heart! I was plesently elated to read how she handled Tony. Glad that Lutishia didn't "paint" in the traditional weak way that women are portrayed when faced with circumstances as hers; many women fight back when pushed in a corner. Hopefully, Tony can get it together. Bo?...a mother?I would love to see that "come to past". I can't wait for the next installment of this series!
"Surprisingly disappointing"
I was surprised at this performance of the latest Curtis Black novel. The performance really took away from the story line, making it very hard to complete this novel. I would not recommend this as a listen for anyone. Gwen Hughes was not a good fit for the narration of this novel and because of it, I'm considering getting my credit back. I have enjoyed all of the other Curtis Black novels and have decided to try another avenue to read this book.
"Not what I expected"
Best Black Womens Erotica was not what I expected. The stories were lack luster and not very driven. I was expecting stories that would "embrace" hidden passions and inner sexuality. I would not waste my credit on another collection like this again.
"What a waste of time"
Everything! The storyline was entirely too long and boring!
No, not really, at least, not yet anyway
I can't find one redeeming quality about the performance nor the book.
None that I can think of
I was very disappointed in this book, to say the least! Mona & Catherine's attitude and psyche in the book was shameful and not very realistic. I mean who waits for a high-school love for 10 years after graduation? Especially one who never writes, calls, I mean he never even sent them a message by a carrier pidgon! Who does that!? If anything, this made them seem desperate; although Mona married, she still waited for Lincoln in her heart...& Catherine...Lawd! I'll leave the rest of my comment to myself. (let's just say that words cannot be shared on Audible) DO NOT WASTE YOUR CREDIT! TRUST ME!
""The Best Series I've read in a while""
I would definatly listen to this book again. The plot was great and kept me on the end of my seat!
The twist and turns of the plot. The drama and the fierce loyalties of the divas...I just couldn't put it down
All of the narrators were on point. They displayed emotions where needed and kept their performances snazzy!
Lucifer because she finally showed her "girly" side.
This is the best series I've read in a while besides K'wan's Hood Rat series. The twists and turns in the plot along with the drama that unfolds is just what I enjoy in a novel. But I still have to ask...is Fat Ace really dead? And those Cripettes...OMG! Wait 'til Lucifer gets her hands on them...I CANNOT wait for the fourth installment!
"Mistress Inc."
You Go Jessa!
The two most memorable moments in the book for me would have to be when Jessa gave birth and the other would have to be when her mother punched Jamie in the face for calling her granddaughter a bastard--WAY TO GO GRANDMA!
I really enjoy listening to Soozie narrate books. This book was no different than the others--she did a wonderful job.
Mistress INC.: Moving on Up!
This installment in this series didn't disappoint. It was a wonderful read. I can only hope that there is another book to follow, I would love to see where Jessa's, Jamie, Aria, and Renee's life will lead beyond Richmond Hills.
"Love on the Run"
The experience was so enjoyable because the narrator made the characters come to life. Zuri Day is a very vivid and wonderful writer. I hope that Audible will soon have all of her titles available because she is amazing!
My favorite characters were Michael and Shayna. Michael because as soon as he realized that love bit him, he did what was necessary to gain the trust of his woman. Shayna because she had so much dedication to her mother although at times she didn't deserve it. The past story of her mother was very heart wrenching. Her dedication to her best friend turned boyfriend turned ex-boyfriend/stalker was believable and it showed just how much love, warmth, and compassion she possessed.
I have enjoyed Shari's performances in whatever book I read. She makes sure to inflect emotions in her readings and seems to work hard to not be monotone. She is a great narrator!
Parts of this book made me laugh especially the scenes between Shayna and her besties. Other parts made me feel sort of sad. Those scenes was when Shayna spoke of her deep need for a deeper connection with her mother; her misunderstanding of their complicated relationship; as well as her self-doubt and self-worth. This book brought home the fact that little girls need a deep bond with both of their parents (if it's possible)
This was another great read by a wonderful author-Zuri Day. I really wish that Audible will add her other titles to the library in the near future.

USA women advance to World Cup championship against Japan
Original post made on Jul 14, 2011
It has been 12 years since the United States last reached the finals in the Women's World Cup. When that happened, the site was the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. The heroine was veteran Brandi Chastain, making a winning penalty kick to beat China in the 1999 Women's World Cup. Now, the Americans have a chance to accomplish something similar with veteran Abby Wambach.

A large proportion of UAE professionals are in the market for new jobs, apparently. Kipp's poll asked readers if they had plans to move on – the results are in.
September 14, 2010 4:34 by Sam Potter
Which brings us neatly onto the next group, who have perhaps thought of that already. Seven percent of Kipp readers do plan to change jobs, but have decided to wait until the new year to do so. That means an astounding 43 percent of Kipp readers are hoping to quit their jobs in the coming months. And if you count the unemployed respondents, over 50 percent (55.7) will be active in the job market.
A further 25.6 percent said they were keeping their options open. Very ominously, that leaves only 18.7 percent of respondents who are happy and settled where they are. Now, it could be that disenfranchised and unhappy employees are more likely to respond to a poll about switching jobs than those happy employees, but still – the statistics are striking. Execs and managers in Dubai and the UAE may need to reconsider the stability of their work forces.
As for the job seekers, well according to reports the country's job market is bouncing back, so now could be the time to move after all.

Kuwait deported at least 21 Egyptian nationals over the weekend, charged with gathering in support of the presidential candidacy of Mohammed ElBaradei, the former IAEA head , according to Egypt's daily, Al Masry Al Youm.
Jamal Eid of the Arabic Network for Human Rights said in a statement that neither Egyptian nor Kuwaiti authorities had filed charges against the deportees.
Kuwait's ambassador in Egypt, Rashid Al Hamad, told Al Masry Al Youm that the twelve deported Egyptians were arrested because they organized a gathering without obtaining an official permit from the Kuwaiti government. He added, however, that the Kuwaiti government had not released an official statement in the matter.

Tebow among QBs not throwing at Combine
Written by Will Spencer on February 22, 2010
It was announced today that Tim Tebow will not be throwing at the NFL Scouting Combine this week. This puts Tebow in the same category as Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Colt McCoy and Dan LeFevour, who also will not throw in Indianapolis.
Reports indicate that Tebow is working hard on his throwing motion and will display his new and improved mechanics at his Pro Day event. Some are starting to beat the Tebow drum a little louder now with his attempt to change his mechanics. If Tebow does show an improvement in his throwing motion, we can be sure that some folks in the media will be starting with the "1st round pick" talk again. After a poor Senior Bowl performance, most got off the Tebow bandwagon and actually weren't afraid to say something negative about one of the most respected players in college football history.
