Eastern Airlines Seeks to Hire a Few Good Flight Attendants
So earlier this year—like way back in January, wow—we heard about an airline launching under the Eastern Air Lines brand. Well it looks like they must have some funding in place; as it appears that things continue to move forward. Now they're looking for some people to join their planes, so if you ever thought about scoring a flight attendant position now might be the time.
Sure the route network will be limited at first, but getting your foot in the door might just lead to big things further down the line. There's a form to fill out before hand, and we're sure updating that resume is probably a good idea as well. If things go well there's going to be a hiring event on November 22.

Sip a Cuban 'Cafe Con Leche' on Your Next Layover in Miami
Starbucks, Coffee Bean, yawn... we're tired of the same old options around every corner, too, and so next time you've got a stopover at Miami International and need a good cup of joe, try a cup of the local specialty.
Called cafe con leche (coffee with milk), this Cuban creation is very similar to a latte by definition in that it is coffee mixed with scalded whole milk at a 1:1 ratio. The main difference is that while a latte typically has foam on top, cafe con leche does not.

If Funding Comes Through, Virgin Cruise Line May Be Next for Richard Branson
Planes, trains, and space ships are already a reality for Virgin, and if Richard Branson gets his wish, a cruise line will be next.
Currently, only three companies, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian, control 80% of the global market when it comes to cruising, prompting Branson to believe that he can come in and compete by doing things differently. Though specific details are slim, Branson told The National that his line would be based in Miami and "supply the Virgin touch" while offering "more entertainment and leisure opportunities on board the ships."

Throwback Thursday: Pan Am's Art Deco Airline Terminal is a Sweet Miami Secret
Sure, we love all the speed and comfort of modern travel, but it didn't that way overnight. Every Thursday, we're going to take a look back at travel the way it used to be, whether that's decades or centuries ago. This is Throwback Thursday, travel edition.
Some call it the "Gateway to the Americas," but most just know it as Miami City Hall.
This small, art deco building in the south Miami neighborhood of Coconut Grove houses the offices of city officials and one stately meeting room, complete with wood dais and original Pan Am winged clock. Why a Pan Am winged clock? Well, this meeting room was once a departures area for flights, and the building the airline's very first terminal.
Acting mostly on rumor and the results of a few Google searches, we made the 15-minute drive from downtown Miami. Venturing inside, we were thrilled to discover that the general public is welcome to meander around after a brief security screening and during city business hours, but note that the second floor restaurant has closed.
Visitors expecting a full airport will quickly notice the lack of runways; Pan Am placed this terminal here to utilize the neighboring calm waters of Dinner Key Marina on Biscayne Bay for the operation of their flying boat services, with routes stretching as near as Cuba and as far as Buenos Aires, covering most South American and Caribbean capitals in between.

Believe It or Not, Eastern Air Lines Wants to Fly Again
Every once in a while there's a former airline that tries to make a go of it once again, and this year it looks like it's Eastern Air Lines. Technically they have nothing to do with the former carrier that folded in the early 1990s, but a new group has the rights to the name, intellectual property, and they're even moving into part of the former headquarters down in Miami.
They have a website, they have some pictures, and they're even eager to promote that they have an Airbus A319—we guess at least one of them—on order for delivery as soon of this year. So far the only real news out of the airline is their latest press release, as they revealed that they've gone ahead and filed some necessary paperwork with the Department of Transportation.
Next up is starting the needed certification and scoring the other credentials from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Anything But Flip Flops: What to Pack for Art Basel Miami Beach 2013
This week is arty-farty all right, as December 5 - 8 runs Art Basel Miami Beach, an annual collection of modern art fairs that attracts 50,000 visitors to do some $500 million in sales. Of course that's just the tip of the iceberg, as Basel is just as much about the societal buzz of the week as it is about the serious artwork and structured events. To enjoy it all and come out swinging, there's five things to have on you at all times during Art Basel:
· A good guide to the fairs.
Every year brings new satellite fairs to compliment the original Art Basel offering in Miami Beach's Convention Center. The only issue is that the area has grown, and now Wynwood's Context and downtown Miami's River Art Fair are draws of their own. To know what's on when, for how much, and how to direct your taxi there, we like the Miami New Times' .pdf guide, and the HuffPost has broken down some of the better talks and workshops throughout the week.
· Good shoes.
In short, this means no flip flops. Even poolside hang-outs are better served by wearing slip-on espadrilles, as Art Basel brings dressier requirements to Miami Beach. Now factor in that you'll be bouncing around all 80-degree day between art fairs, food, your hotel, and parties, and style-forward, dependable shoes become the best option.

We told you yesterday Justin Timberlake and Jay Z are in Miami tonight to perform their last concert in their Legends of the Summer Stadium Tour. But we just learned about a special, super-secret Justin Timberlake concert being held at midnight at The Fillmore Miami Beach.
Apparently in a partnership between JT and MasterCard, the cool crooner is hosting an "Intimate Priceless Miami Performance" at the stroke of 12, right after his show at the Sun Life Stadium. Woo! Man must have a lot of energy to go back-to-back like that.

|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (February 2012)
Transit police are a specialized police agency or unit employed by a common carrier, which could be a transit district, railroad, bus line, other transport carrier, or the state. Their mandate is to prevent and investigate crimes committed against the carrier or by or against passengers or other customers of the carrier, or those committed on the carrier's property.
A transit police force may consist of officers employed directly by a transit system, such as the Amtrak Police, or it may exist as a specialized unit of a local police force, such as the Transit Police Services Bureau of the Orange County, California Sheriff's Department, which serves the Orange County Transportation Authority or South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police Service[1] which serves the transit system of southern British Columbia, Canada.
Where the term "transit police" is used for the police working for a railroad/railway, it usually refers to a railroad providing urban mass transit (such as a city elevated system or subway) as opposed to long-distance rail carriage. Police who work either for a private non-passenger railroad or long-haul rail carrier are usually referred to as "railroad police" or "railway police". In Britain, most of the rail system, including the London Underground, is policed by a national transport police agency, the British Transport Police. Some transit police forces have full policing powers, such as BART Police, SEPTA Transit Police, Metro Transit Police Department, Utah Transit Authority Police Department or MBTA Transit Police, while in other areas, they have limited powers and are classed as special police or special constables with limited powers.
Some of the crimes transit police and railroad police investigate include trespassing on the right-of-way of a railroad, assaults against passengers, tagging of graffiti on railroad rolling stock and buses or bus stops, pickpocketing, ticket fraud, robbery and theft of personal belongings, baggage or freight, and drug dealing at transit stations.
Federal and state statutes determine the jurisdiction and authority of all police departments, including transit police. Most transit police services have the same police authority as any other national, state and local police agencies, such as the British Transport Police, New Jersey Transit Police Department, BART Police, Maryland Transit Administration Police, DART Police, SEPTA Transit Police, Utah Transit Authority Police Department, and the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police Service have rather extensive jurisdictions, including traffic enforcement, with arrest powers on and off property. Transit and railroad police tend to have better results in finding perpetrators of crimes they investigate than public police forces, possibly due to specialization and smaller case loads.
New South Wales
South Australia
Western Australia
Because policing is a provincial responsibility, police powers vary in different jurisdictions. With the exception of South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police Service, who have full policing powers within the province of British Columbia, urban transit police forces are special constabularies or by-law enforcement officers with limited policing powers.
Cities in China which have rapid transit systems all have their transit police force associated to the local public security bureau. There isn't any non-governmental police force nor any police institutes under the transit authority, despite the National Rail somehow have a police force under the Ministry of Railways.
However, the structure of institutions can be vary from city to city. For example, cities like Tianjin and Chengdu might have a joint public transportation force of division level, operates on all the taxis, bus routes, coaches, rapid transit and ferry lines as well as transportation hubs inside city limit; while Chongqing and Xi'an[9] have tighter transit cop brigades focused exclusively on protecting the mass transit lines. Again, all these agencies are supervised by the PSBs of higher level.

The Ford sits higher & seems to handle weight a little better. The pasenger side in the Ford is more cramped for legroom. Chev had a major paint peel issue on the early 2000 to about 2006/7 vans where the paint just peels off ????
The best performance/ fuel economy has to be the Chevy 5.3l & I towed my 10000' Boat with ease.
The extended version are better if you plan to have bikes inside & passengers.
I have had vans that just fall apart at 100k and others that just keep on going, on both brands.
The only Van that I reallly regretted buying was a Dodge 2500...biggest piece of shit, no wonder they stoped making them!
Lately I have been buying off lease vans (U-haul) best value howevern ther are way more than you want to spend.
Good luck
awesome datapoint with the post thank you.
Thats not the first time I've heard about paint issues on the Chevy. Was it an intermittent problem or universal?

A heart murmur is an extra sound that the
blood makes as it flows through the heart. Your doctor uses a stethoscope to
listen to your heartbeat. When you have a heart murmur, your doctor can hear an
extra whooshing or swishing noise along with your heartbeat.
can be scary to learn that you or your child has a heart murmur. But heart
murmurs are very common, especially in children, and are usually harmless.
These normal murmurs are called "innocent" heart murmurs. There is nothing
wrong with your heart when you have an innocent murmur. Up to half of all
children have innocent murmurs.1 They usually go away
as children grow.
Adults can have innocent murmurs too. Innocent murmurs are often found in adults over 50 years of age. Murmurs also
happen when your blood flows harder and faster than usual—during pregnancy, for
example, or a temporary illness, such as a fever.1
Sometimes, though, a heart murmur is a sign of a
heart problem. This is called an abnormal heart murmur.
murmurs are signs of a heart problem. In children, abnormal heart murmurs are
usually caused by problems they are born with, such as a heart valve that
doesn't work right or a hole in the wall between two heart chambers.
In adults, abnormal murmurs are most often caused by damaged heart
valves. Heart valves operate like one-way gates, helping blood flow in one
direction between heart chambers as well as into and out of the heart. See a
picture of
blood flow through a normal heart.
When disease or an infection
damages a heart valve, it can cause scarring and can affect how well the valve
works. The valve may not be able to close properly, so blood can leak through.
Or the valve may become too narrow or stiff to let enough blood through. When a
damaged heart valve cannot close properly, the problem is called
regurgitation. When the valve can't let enough blood
through, the problem is called
Heart valves can be damaged by
heart disease or by infections like
rheumatic fever or
endocarditis. The normal wear and tear that comes with
aging can also cause some damage.
Some heart murmurs are caused by
a thicker than normal heart. When the heart muscle grows too large, it can get
in the way of normal blood flow and cause a murmur.
Most heart
murmurs are found during regular doctor visits. During exams, doctors listen to
each part of the heartbeat, including any extra sounds, or murmurs, that may be
If a doctor hears a murmur, he or she can often tell
whether it is innocent by how loud the noise is, what part of the heart it is
coming from, and what kind of sound it is. He or she will also look for signs
of a heart problem—for example, shortness of breath when the person is active,
lightheadedness, a fast or irregular heartbeat, or a buildup of fluid in the
legs or lungs. If your doctor thinks your murmur may be a sign of a problem,
you will have tests to check your heart. You may also be sent to a heart
specialist, called a
cardiologist, for more tests.
If you have an innocent murmur,
you do not need treatment, because your heart is normal.
If you
have an abnormal murmur, treatment depends on the heart problem that is causing
the murmur and may include medicines or surgery. Not all abnormal murmurs need
to be treated. If you have an abnormal murmur and have no other symptoms, your
doctor may only monitor your condition with an echocardiogram.
you have symptoms, you may need to take medicine to lower your blood pressure
and reduce your heart's workload. You may need surgery to replace a valve or
repair a heart defect.
heart murmurs are normal, and there is nothing you can
do to prevent them or cause them. They just happen.
Most abnormal
murmurs cannot be prevented, either. They are often caused by infections or by
problems that run in families.
What you can
do is take good care of your heart by living a heart-healthy lifestyle. This includes eating healthy food and getting regular
exercise. Work with your doctor to control your blood pressure and your
cholesterol. And if you smoke, quit. Your doctor can help you quit your smoking

Capped 77 times for his adopted nation, the 37-year-old Australian opened his union career with Manly before emigrating in 1999, since when he has turned out in the colours of Gala, Edinburgh, Perpignan, Leinster and his current French club.
A Heineken Cup winner with Leinster in 2009/10, the British and Irish Lion is seen as a complementary addition to Steve Diamond's Aviva Premiership side.
"Nathan is a world-class player and will fit in well with us at Sale Sharks," said the coach. "He has vast experience playing at the highest level and is a regular starter at Clermont. Last weekend he was magnificent in helping his team beat Racing Paris. The forwards at Sale Sharks have played well this season and adding Nathan to the group will be a big boost to us."

Kochneva disappeared Oct. 10.
TRIPOLI, Lebanon: A Ukrainian woman abducted in Syria appealed in a handwritten letter to Syrian and Ukrainian authorities to intensify efforts to meet her kidnappers' conditions and step up efforts to free her due to her health condition.
Anhar Kochneva's letter, in Russian and delivered exclusively to The Daily Star, was released by her kidnappers under pressure from Syrian opposition figures who have ties with the kidnappers.
Since her abduction on Oct. 10 by a group affiliated with the Free Syrian Army, Kochneva has only appeared twice in short videos on YouTube.
The kidnappers, according to mediators involved in the case, have so far justified the media blackout on the issue because of the identity of the hostage and her role in the Syrian war.
The mediators added that the YouTube videos were released at her request to reassure her family of her well-being.
However, the kidnappers were finally persuaded to reveal Kotchneva's letter after intense mediation efforts by figures in both the Syrian opposition and the FSA failed, the mediators said.
The kidnappers, who have refused to name their group and claimed they were part of Homs revolutionaries under the command of the FSA, said that personal photos of Kochneva would be released with the letter, noting that the pictures were taken off her personal computer.
Asked by mediators about their demands or the ransom they request to free Kochneva, the kidnappers said they are only asking for Russia to become a friend of the Syrian people, adding that the requested ransom is food aid for the Syrian people.
Kochneva's abductors accuse Russia of supporting the Syrian regime's continued killing of its own people.
The kidnappers, according to the mediators, said that up until now neither Russia nor Ukraine has made serious efforts to free Kochneva, despite claims that she was working as an interpreter and covering the war in Syria for several Russian media outlets.
They said the two governments have sent mediators who only contacted them to check on her well-being.
During November, the kidnappers released a video of Kochneva on YouTube confessing that she was working as an interpreter between Russian military experts and Syrian officers.
In the video, Kochneva mentions some of the officers she worked with and said that she had received instructions from slain Deputy Defense Minister Gen. Asef Shawkat.
She added that Shawkat had asked her at the time to go to Homs, where she played an undisclosed role in fierce battles in Baba Amr.
A blast at the headquarters of the National Security Bureau in Damascus on July 18 killed Shawkat along with Defense Minister Gen Daoud Rajiha, former Defense Minister Hassan Turkmani and NSB chief Hisham Ikhtiar.
Al-Farouq battalion, under the command of Lt. Abdel Razzaq Tlas, which is said to be in control of rebel fighters and FSA troops in Homs region, declined to offer substantive information about Kochneva or provide details about her presence in Homs.
The battalion confirmed that Kotchneva is in good condition and is being treated well, without revealing any further information except that the group which kidnapped her is not under its command, but fighting on its own against the regime.
They lauded Kochneva's kidnapping as an outstanding achievement.
The kidnappers, however, agreed to provide details about the abduction.
The group claims that the alleged Ukrainian interpreter was taken while on her way from Tartus to Damascus, adding that Kochnneva's car was stopped at an FSA checkpoint.
Her European features, flawless Arabic and Ukrainian passport aroused their suspicions, they said, especially considering she was in an extremely sensitive location, which the FSA refused to disclose.
Due to her presence in the mostly pro-regime province of Latakia at the onset of anti-government uprisings there, Kochneva was swiftly abducted by the group after they contacted the FSA central operations room in Homs.
She was then transferred to a hiding place inside Homs, which lies under the sole control of the rebels.
Investigations by the Local Coordination Committees activist group revealed that Kochneva was a pro-Assad activist.
They say she has appeared several times on official Syrian media outlets justifying the regime's military operations, and arguing that Syria is facing a Western conspiracy.
The group added that Kochneva had labeled the rebels as "mercenaries" in her media appearances.
Following her disappearance, Kochneva's fate remained unknown with reports circulating about her possible kidnapping or death given the violent bombing of Homs that day.
The reports prompted the Russian and Ukrainian ambassadors in Damascus to issue a press statement asking for help in discovering her fate or her whereabouts on humanitarian grounds.
The kidnappers have said the decision to release Kochneva's photos was made to enlighten the public about her actual role in Syria, and to prove that she was a spy for the regime.
They said a search of her belongings and data in her telephone uncovered the presence of phone numbers of Syrian officers as well as text messages she exchanged with them.
These discoveries prompted the kidnappers to tighten security measures in order to protect Kochneva, they said, as well as to relocate her often to guarantee her safety.
They claimed to have information that the Syrian army might bomb the locations where she was being held in order to later accuse the FSA of killing her and turn international public opinion against the rebels.
"Our Islamic teachings oblige us to treat her very well, care about her well-being and her health conditions and honor her according to Prophet Mohammad, saying 'I command you to treat women well,'" the group holding her explained.

Major John McCrae penned his now famous poem, In Flanders Fields, in May 1915 after he conducted the burial service for his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer.
The poppy came to represent the immeasurable sacrifice made by his comrades and quickly became a lasting memorial to those who died in the First World War and later conflicts.
This year marks 100 years since the start of The Great War and the Royal British Legion is running a campaign to plant poppies across the country.
The bright red Flanders poppies, Papaver rhoeas also known as corn poppies, have been planted by thousands of people for flowering from late July/early August.
The campaign was started by the Greenhithe and Swanscombe branch and called The 2014 Real Poppy Campaign but was then adopted by the RBL nationally and renamed The Centenary Poppy Campaign.
It has the backing of the Prince of Wales, who has called the campaign an evocative and poignant tribute and Prime Minister, David Cameron, pledged his personal support for this iconic campaign.
Phil Berry, chairman of the Greenhithe and Swanscombe branch, said: "We would like to see the UK covered in real Flanders poppies from August 2014.
"Just imagine thousands upon thousands of bright red poppies growing 100 years on, hundreds in every garden, hedgerow, field, even window boxes - the entire nation covered in poppies."
To help ensure a national coverage, members of the RBL Riders' Branch have agreed to assist in the casting of poppy seeds on behalf of those unable to do so themselves.
As of this month, more than 16 million seeds have been distributed, over a quarter of which are in Kent.
Last Tuesday, war veterans, teachers and pupils gathered together for a poppy sowing ceremony at St John's Catholic Comprehensive School in Gravesend.
The ceremony marked the start of the school's First World War commemorations.
The Flanders poppy seeds were provided by the Mayor, Cllr John Caller as part of the RBL's campaign.
The funds raised will go towards the £1.6 million the legion spends each week on welfare to the Armed Forces community.

It's beginning to look like the best picture Oscar race might not be "Up in the Air."
Director Kathryn Bigelow's intense Iraq war drama "The Hurt Locker" has got the momentum.
After starting off with nada at the Golden Globes, the box-office bomb about a bomb squad has since won the Directors Guild Award for Bigelow, the Producers Guild Award and over the weekend swept the major prizes at the British Academy Awards, including picture, director and original screenplay.
Meanwhile, Bigelow's ex-husband James Cameron has got to be feeling blue that his "Avatar" —- though the biggest money-maker ever —- is not even breaking even when it comes to winning awards.
That doesn't mean "Avatar" won't win the best picture Oscar —– the Academy has as much of a history of honoring commerce as it does artsy "little" movies that pack a wallop and come out on top. Yo, "Rocky."
It does have one major problem going into the awards though: No original sci-fi or fantasy film has ever won the best picture Oscar.
Many have been nominated —- "E.T." and "Star Wars" come immediately to mind. Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" —- considered the granddaddy of modern science fiction on the Silver Screen —- wasn't even nominated.
Although "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" won a best picture Oscar and is pure fantasy, it certainly wasn't original —- it had (some would argue) a more successful literature life before film.
To take it a step further, no science fact film has ever won: "The Right Stuff" about the original Mercury Seven astronauts, and "Apollo 13″ about the "successful failure" of the mission to the moon in the early 1970s, never got off the ground at Oscar time.
By the way, "Star Wars" lost the 1977 best picture Oscar to Woody Allen's timeless comedy "Annie Hall." "Star Wars" was clearly more of a phenomenon than "Avatar." Its fans were more passionate — even in a frenzied state at times. In fact, "Star Wars" loyal fans are still going geek-squad strong.
Although "Avatar" is a money-maker globally, it doesn't have that "Star Wars" devotion that started immediately upon its release 33 years ago.
With all that, "Star Wars" lost to a little movie that could. The same fate may be in store on March 7 for "Avatar."
The fact that "Annie Hall" won that year was not only an upset of sorts, but it defined odds because comedies seldom win best picture Oscars. The only other movie that won since that could be considered a light comedy was "Shakespeare in Love."
This year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has nominated 10 movies for best picture —- only the animated film "Up" can be considered a comedy — with "Inglourious Basterds" registering at best as a broad satire.
Oscar seems to get serious and seldom pushes the envelope.
Stanley Kubrick's vision of a grim and violent future "A Clockwork Orange" was nominated for best picture way back when, but its chances of winning were about as good asa radical right wing conservative's chance of running a major Hollywood movie studio.
"Some Like It Hot" —- the American Film Institute's choice for funniest American movie ever made (debatable) —- wasn't even nominated for best picture.
Oscar goes for films like "The English Patient" over "Fargo." "Dances with Wolves" beats "GooodFellas." "Gandhi" overpowers "E.T." "Forrest Gump" trumps "Pulp Fiction."
In the last few years, though, Oscars for best picture have not gone to spectaculars. In fact, the last big budget spectacle to win was Cameron's "Titanic."
In recent years little movies that could have won —- "No Country for Old Men" for example. A trend that bodes well for "Hurt Locker."
This year, Oscar can provide an upset, or the big money-maker could sweep most of the awards, or it can embrace the critics' darling with the Big Mo going into the show.
Maybe Oscar will select the film with the all-too-realistic contemporary theme about the fractured economy —- "Up in the Air" is certainly a film for the Obama years so far.
Or maybe it will be Quentin Tarantino's homage to every movie ever made —- a film that in the process turned World War II on its ear. "Saving Private Ryan" it ain't.
War movies, unlike comedies and especially fantasy or sci-fi, have done well winning the best picture Oscar. The first Oscar for best film went to a war movie, "Wings" — and the patriotism continued throughout the decades from "Casablanca" to "The Bridge on the River Kwai" to "Patton" to "Platoon" to "Schindler's List."
Vegas odds say "Avatar" is the favorite to win best picture.
If it turns out to be right, Cameron can change the tag line to his blockbuster to read: "What happens on Pandora, stays on Pandora."

Mourning my son's death
Hi , I lost my son July 12th , 2013 at the age of 31, he leaves five children. He was in a divorce and custody battle,. he was accused of many things , one of being a Satanist because he listened to Korn music.
Well as a tribute to my son and Korn,, because they are his favorite band, I rocked his funeral by playing Korn's songs , " DEAD " as the intro , then " 4 U '" then "Coming Undone", because after the year we have been through with him, we were all there.
Pallbearers and Family wore his Korn shirts , his casket and vault was black with stainless steel. The inside of his vault was all shinny stainless steel ,, his own personal stage to rock.! He is buried a few miles from my home so I go over and play Korn for him.
I regret not having it video taped . Why you ask am I sharing , well I am just trying to cope with losing him ,, people around you move on even though you are still grieving. They can only do so much and we have to deal with it ourselves. So to me this is for him as much as me .
So, you can rock your funeral however you want. Even the older generation friends who came to the funeral , thought it was tastefully done, so I did not offend anyone.
My son always tried to get us to go with him to a concert , and we didn't. I regret that, so parents , listen to what your children are interested in , even if you don't like it , you will find a happy medium somewhere.
My son I love and miss you with all my heart, hope you have peace,, and this was 4 U, MOM
im so sorry for your loss... it's horrible when a mother looses a child. one of my best friends passed away this summer, justin was only 24. his mother still grieves for him everyday. he was also in a band and loved ridding motorcycles. thank you for sharing your story on here with all of us. it has truly touched my heart. stay strong x0x0x
I'm definitely mandating Korn at my funeral. "I will protect you" and "eaten up inside" will be on the list. Good for you for playing the music that your son had the strongest spiritual attunement to. I'm sorry for your loss, and I too feel lost because my parents and I cannot find a middle ground on music. They don't take the time to understand WHY I listen to Korn, and what I'm getting out of listening. Their minds are shut off. You're a good parent for taking an interest like that, because I sure wish mine would.
Today, while at work, I read your blog, I had to quit, my heart thumping out o f my chest, my own loss of recent, choking me, becoming entwined in your loss, your grief, I wanted to run and wail a Cherokee cry.
I realize there is really nothing anyone can say to lessen the pain, but know, your son is not far away. Though you cannot see or touch him, he is near, and if you listen with your heart, you will hear all of his love around you soft and clear.
Your an amazing mom to play songs from his favorite band-koRn at his funeral, and everything synchronized with the theme. Thinking about it gives me goose bumps, wow!
Please know, we Children of the koRn, welcome you to blog anytime-sharing your grief, we are here for you.
Thank you for sharing, I am confident your son is in a peaceful state, he has you as your mom and he still rocking out to koRn!

Mary Lamb (1764-1847), Sister and collaborator of Charles Lamb
Sitter in 2 portraits
A writer, best known for Tales from Shakespeare written with her brother Charles Lamb. Born into a poor family, Mary Lamb received little formal education. From an early age she helped support the family by doing needlework. Her mother was an invalid, and for many years she was entirely dependent on Mary's care. In 1796, Mary stabbed and killed her mother. She was declared temporarily insane and placed under the guardianship of her brother Charles. In 1807 Mary and Charles published Tales from Shakespeare, a collection of prose adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays, for children. The book established Charles Lamb's literary reputation; hers did not appear on the cover.

I was going to rip Shave Me a new one for being ridiculous. I forgot all the mean things I was going to say while I played with it. Honestly, I had a blast maniacally laughing while I cut the holy bejeebies out of someone's cheek. Maybe legs. You know, I'm not entirely sure what body part I was shaving. I'm going to pretend that it was someone's face to help maintain a healthy level of sanity.
The lower left corner features an extensive shaving kit. Complete with a straight blade, a traditional razor, an electric razor and a wax kit, you can shave whatever it is however you want. There are also sound effects for the electric razor and the hair being cut. I'm most impressed by the colorful phrases that come from using the wax kit.
For those who are into detailing, there are tweezers for the finer work and a way to grow hair to cover mistakes. I personally just loved carving bleeding, bright red hearts into someone's flesh. Nothing says "love" like personal hygiene. If you happen to nick the skin, the phone buzzes and there's a spray of red. If you use the little white hankie in the kit, it will dab up the blood just like using toilet paper corners. It will also wipe down the shaving cream you use. Here's a hint: If you don't want an angry red patch of skin, using shaving cream should help.
Shave Me is a universal app available in the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!

You might see some of these items on sale Friday, but it's better to hold off. You'll likely get a better deal if you wait a bit.

It's smarter to hold off until January for when winter apparel goes on clearance. You'll see some deep discounts.

This is a general application created by the CCSJ in order to gage interest and determine the proper placement for the three summer internships supported by the office. The three internships: NETWORK, Columban Center, and Interfaith Worker Justice have their own specific applications which will have to be completed and sent to the respective organization following interviews and acceptance by the CCSJ. These internships are unpaid and will require some personal costs or fundraising. Because you may incur some costs, the CCSJ will attempt to assist with some financial assistance. Applying to more than one internship is permitted. However, know that the CCSJ will determine placements based on qualifications, interest, applicant pool, and financial considerations. Preference will be given to students able to serve on the CCSJ Ignatian Advocacy Team next year.
If you would like to apply for one of these internships, please download the application and return it to the CCSJ (Harper 2067) on February 17, 2012 by 4:00p.m. You will need to sign up for an interview (February 20th) when you hand in your application.

They do this by advocating on issues such as peacemaking, comprehensive immigration reform, housing, poverty, federal budget priorities, trade and hunger. As an intern, you will be giving back to the community by advocating for federal legislation that has the potential to improve millions of lives. You will also gain valuable advocacy skills to serve you in your volunteer work or help position you for a future job in advocacy. This internship will be between an 8 and 10 week commitment in Washington D.C. and will begin at your choice of start date.
Columban Center for Advocacy and Outreach:
Represent Columban missionaries who work with and serve the poor around the world. Through advocacy, solidarity, and education the CCAO is dedicated to raising the peace, social justice and ecology concerns of others.

Interfaith Worker Justice:
Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ) is a network of people of faith that calls upon religious values in order to educate, organize, and mobilize the religious community in the United States on issues and campaigns that will improve wages, benefits, and conditions for workers, and give voice to workers, especially workers in low-wage jobs. As an intern, you'll be placed at local unions, interfaith committees or workers' centers across the country, where the responsibilities may include outreach to the religious community on labor issues to involve them in local and national campaigns, and organizing workers who want a voice in their jobs. IWJ has affiliate networks in 17 cities throughout the US and requests can be made to IWJ in regards to placement. This internship will begin June 11th and will conclude August 8th. Please see this link for the placements (http://www.iwj.org/template/page.cfm?id=181). You could choose to live at home if your near a worker center or be sent to another city.

'Bring Your Own Device' for Beginners
August 27, 2012
Telework is rapidly changing the way the federal government works, and now federal agencies have a few new tools to expand mobility options for employees, thanks to the new "Bring Your Own Device," or BYOD, guidance released by the White House on Thursday.
The guidance, which is part of the White House's now three-month-old Digital Government Strategy, includes recommendations from a working group that studied the benefits of BYOD based on lessons learned from successful BYOD programs launched at agencies.
Some of those benefits include improved productivity and work-life balance among employees as well as significant cost savings. At the same time, BYOD presents agencies with a myriad of security, policy, technical and legal challenges, the working group found.
The guidance makes clear that agencies are not required to implement a BYOD strategy. But for those agencies that think the positives of BYOD outweigh its challenges, the new toolkit is a great place to start, Cindy Auten, general manager at Telework Exchange, said Friday.
"Just as with telework programs, each agency must evaluate its specific mission and business objectives to determine how to best design the program to ensure maximum benefits – the same goes for a BYOD program," Auten said. "Agencies must evaluate if and how it makes strategic sense to implement and this toolkit provides a checklist of sorts to run through when making that decision. It also offers examples of how several agencies have already tackled the issue."
One of those examples includes the Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which implemented a virtual desktop that allows a BYOD solution with minimal policy or legal limitations. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission also has implemented a BYOD pilot that allows employees to opt out of the government-provided mobile device program and install third-party software on their own smartphones that enables use of their personal devices for official work purposes.
