Glaciers (Tin House New Voice)by Alexis Smith
Staff Pick
Alexis Smith's diminutive novella lies somewhere between poetry and prose. So lyrical and so delicate, Glaciers slowly unspools as we follow Isabel on a routine day. Her inner life is rich and minutely detailed, and even though she is alone, her world seems full and ripe. On this day she reflects on her childhood in Alaska, the divorce of her parents, her unrequited love for an ex-soldier, and the beautiful vintage ephemera to which she is so drawn. This book is deceptively simple and small, and at the same time so deeply felt. Smith wields her pen with subtlety and skill and produces a story with a heart as big as a glacier.
Alexis M. Smith's novella, Glaciers, is a magical book with great depth and feeling despite its simple, spare sentences. Over the course of one day, Isabel, the protagonist, weaves a story filled with childhood memories and details about her life in Portland, including her crush on coworker Spoke. Although Glaciers can easily be read in one sitting, the experience is as satisfying as reading a full-length novel.
Glaciers is a perfect little jewel of a book. It narrates a single day in the life of Isabel, a 20-something who loves Portland and comfortably inhabits the city. Smith's prose is so evocative — you can hear the clink of the spoon on the glass and taste the honey in the tea. A peaceful, contemplative read.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Isabel is a single, twenty-something thrift-store shopper and collector of remnants, things cast off or left behind by others. Glaciers follows Isabel through a day in her life in which work with damaged books in the basement of a library, unrequited love for the former soldier who fixes her computer, and dreams of the perfect vintage dress move over a backdrop of deteriorating urban architecture and the imminent loss of the glaciers she knew as a young girl in Alaska.
Glaciers unfolds internally, the action shaped by Isabel's sense of history, memory, and place, recalling the work of writers such as Jean Rhys, Marguerite Duras, and Virginia Woolf. For Isabel, the fleeting moments of one day can reveal an entire life. While she contemplates loss and the intricate fissures it creates in our lives, she accumulates the stories — the remnants — of those around her and she begins to tell her own story.
"Smith's debut unspools in delicate links of linear thought, told (mostly) in deceptively simple sentences embedded in the consciousness of Isabel, born in the Pacific Northwest and raised in Alaska with her older sister. Isabel dreams of Amsterdam and, 'though she has never been, and probably will never go,' she believes everything is perfect there. The story ostensibly covers a single day, but Isabel's recorded memories reach back to childhood, with incidents in between like a camping trip, an interaction with an astrologer, and a consequential encounter with an immense glacier. Isabel's love of books leads her to get a job at the library, where she falls for co-worker 'Spoke,' an Iraq war veteran whose sudden re-enlistment casts a long shadow, turning Isabel introspective at the festive party she'd planned to attend with him: 'Spoke is already halfway across the country, where people are making breakfast, letting dogs out onto dewy lawns, boarding busses and trains for downtowns, lining up in coffee shops,' she thinks, while 'n Amsterdam, it is already a lovely afternoon, the leaves turning, fall about to break.' This slim book's lovely design respects and enhances Smith's voice, with ample white space on every page and a general eschewing of commas and quotation marks. Lyrical and luminous." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"An Alaska childhood and dreams of faraway cities such as Amsterdam inform Alexis M. Smiths Glaciers, a delicate debut novel set in Portland, Oregon — 'a slick fog of a city...drenched in itself' — that reveals in short, memory-soaked postcards of prose a day in the life of twenty-something library worker Isabel." ELLE Magazine
"Glaciers, Alexis Smith's brilliant debut novel, is filled with kaleidoscopic pleasures. Using prose as clear as pure, cold air, Smith moves the narrative vertically as well as horizontally, each ticking minute yielding more insights into a young woman's life revealed over one single day. The past, present, and imaginary future stream into beautifully unstable geometries: Isabel's childhood snows from her youth in Alaska are juxtaposed against her adult trip to a vintage thrift store; her hopes for an evening party push against the echoes of war that haunt a young soldier whom she loves. Line by line, in and out of time, this is a haunted, joyful, beautiful book — a true gift." Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia!
"Alexis M. Smith's Glaciers is a quietly powerful fairy tale. Smith's voice, patient and understated and precise captures the poetry of loss and longing." Cara Hoffman, author of So Much Pretty
"Glaciers is a carefully precise and beautiful meditation on one young woman's restless heart. It resonates like a haunting postcard from someone else's life." Kevin Sampsell, author of A Common Pornography

I spent most of this week trying to figure out what I did three months ago when I transferred some of the 1992 Summer Olympics tapes to DVD. It's frustrating to have to re-do material I thought was already done. Grrr. Now that I am up and running on this web page I should be able to avoid that cofusion. I hope so.
Starting next week, I plan to start adding pages for permanent listings. There will be separate pages for Figure Skating, Gymnastics, and The Olympic Games. Each of those pages will be organized by year. That's the plan, anyway. Wish me luck.

Watch this video of the children of the American Crystal Sugar workers writing to the company about how this is affecting them.
More than a year ago, American Crystal Sugar locked out 1,300 skilled, experienced workers, members of Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) at facilities in Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota. Before the lockout, American Crystal Sugar enjoyed a year of record profits, which CEO David Berg rewarded himself for with a 23% increase in his compensation that now totals $2.4 million annually. Since then, the working men and women of American Crystal Sugar have been blocked from their jobs, without paychecks and without health care benefits. Their families are suffering, particularly their children.
Watch this video to hear the stories of children of locked out workers. Then pledge to boycott American Crystal Sugar products until Berg and the company board members end the lock out and bargain a fair contract with workers.

Local financing of public schools in the United States leads to a bundling of two distinct choices – residential choice and school choice – and has been argued to increase the degree of socioeconomic segregation across school districts. A school finance reform, aimed at equalization of school finances, can in principle weaken this link between housing choice and choice of schools. In this paper, we study the impacts of the Michigan school finance reform of 1994 (Proposal A) on spatial segregation. The reform was a state initiative intended to equalize per-pupil expenditures between Michigan school districts and reduce the role of local financing. We find that Proposal A was responsible for increases in the value of housing stock in the lowest-spending school districts, and for improvements in several socioeconomic indicators in these districts, implying a decline in neighborhood sorting. We also find that the reform affected dispersion of incomes and educational attainment within school districts, increasing within-district heterogeneity in the lowest-spending school districts, while decreasing the same in the highest-spending districts. However, there is continued high demand for residence in the highest-spending communities, suggesting the importance of neighborhood peer effects ("local" social capital) and implying that even a comprehensive government aid program can fail to make a large impact on residential segregation.

'Con man' pleads guilty to 23 felonies
He admits extortion, arson, more
Ojai resident David Larry Gardner, 67, looks like somebody's grandfather, a soft-spoken, small-framed man with a gray flat-top haircut. In the courtroom, he is polite to bailiffs, and beneath his large eyeglasses, there is a gentle smile.
Prosecutors, however, say Gardner — who on Tuesday pleaded guilty in Ventura County Superior Court to 23 felonies — is a career criminal who tried to have three people murdered, burned down a local business, committed multiple counts of grand theft and forgery and wrote letters for the purpose of extortion.
"Mr. Gardner was a very effective con man," Senior Deputy District Attorney Marc Leventhal said in an interview outside the courtroom. "He came to the Ojai area in 1993. In rapid order, he ended up defrauding a number of people."
The felonies to which Gardner pleaded guilty Tuesday included solicitation of murder, arson, writing threatening letters for the purpose of extortion and forgery, including writing two bad checks to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
In May, a jury found him guilty of six felony counts of illegally possessing firearms and ammunition in 2004 and 2005.
As part of a plea agreement, Gardner will be sentenced to 33 years in prison on Dec. 16 for both the white-collar crimes and the weapons conviction.
Gardner stole $1.5 million when he worked as a bookkeeper from 1999 to 2004 for Henderson Wood Floor of Ventura, according to Leventhal.
"He fraudulently took a job as a bookkeeper based on a falsified résumé," said Leventhal. "He proceeded to destroy a business," which was run by Jane and James Henderson, the prosecutor said.
Gardner was attempting to commit extortion against them when he was caught, Leventhal added.
"When he was prosecuted for that (extortion), he burned down the business. Once he was caught for that and put in jail, he tried to have his victims killed," Leventhal said.
Gardner even embezzled money from his own brother, the prosecutor added.
Gardner served a prison term in the late 1960s for burglary and property crimes, and he was convicted in 1982 for making false statements to obtain a firearm and in 1990 for illegal possession of an assault rifle, according to authorities.
Police executing two search warrants on June 24, 2004, and Aug. 30, 2005, found a small cache of weapons, including exploding bullets, fléchette darts, sword canes, metal throwing stars, three rifles, three shotguns and four handguns.
They also found 144 pounds of packaged ammunition and 350 rounds for a revolver. Detectives also found a copy of the "Anarchist Handbook," Leventhal said.
He said it wasn't clear why Gardner had the weapons.
Leventhal, who has worked for seven years in the District Attorney's Office white-collar criminal unit, said Gardner managed to win the trust of his victims.
"Mr. Gardner, by all accounts, was an expert in that department," said Leventhal. "There were many people who came forward during the course of the investigation who reported how convincing he was in making them feel like he was loyal to them and out for their own interest."

Congratulations, Mr. President. This week you followed your increasingly populist rhetoric with some decisive action on behalf of the middle class.
The issue is President Obama's recess appointment on Wednesday of Richard Cordray as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Should the Republicans take Obama to court?
This morning President Obama appointed former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It's was the right move, and it's about time.
I'm feeling like this was a very good morning for the President: Romney is still the likely winner of the nomination, but his fight against Rick Santorum will be tougher than anyone is currently predicting and will open up deep divisions in the Republican party.
Today, I was appointed by President Obama to serve as the first Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I am honored by this opportunity to continue my work on behalf of consumers. And I am energized by the responsibilities and challenges facing the Bureau.
As we approach November 6, 2012, there are a few things you should ponder before reflexively casting a ballot for the guy whose name seems most familiar. Let's look at the numbers.
As expected, last week Senate Republicans blocked President Obama's nomination of Rich Cordray to lead the new CFPB. They continue to hold the agency hostage, taking the unprecedented step of blocking its leadership unless the agency is first weakened.
Spitzer and Matalin focus on the Big Two 2012 issues: go back to Bushonomics or stick with Teddy Obama? And there's consensus that GOP anti-immigrant rhetoric risks losing Hispanic voters and swing states. Like Texas?
They are abusing their positions and throwing sand in the gears of the Senate to make it harder for ordinary Americans to get our day in court and to defend ourselves against the powerful. It's a deeply cynical strategy, and ultimately a deeply harmful one.
Just like we experienced with Elizabeth Warren, whose potential nomination as CFPB director was derailed by the same band of robber barons, Mr. Cordray is the newest roadkill on the conservative superhighway, and the American people have been hosed yet again.
The work of financial reform is far from done. Knowing now what they should have known a couple of years ago, Congress should revisit major structural reforms like restoring Glass-Steagall.
If any bank represents the need to have a regulator in place that protects people on consumer financial issues, it's Bank of America. America's bank has become a symbol for all that is wrong with the financial sector.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to protect consumers. But Republicans are planning to filibuster the confirmation of Richard Cordray as the director of the CFPB, effectively neutralizing the bureau's power to protect consumers.
The American people have gone too long without someone in the federal government looking out for them instead of the big banks. And House Republicans do not actually have the power to block a recess appointment indefinitely.
Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released Version 1.0 of its Supervision and Examination Manual. The Manual represents perhaps the single most important document that will be issued by the new CFPB.

Having ways to deal with our hurts, we can release these so that we are no longer bothered or even driven by them.
This doesn't mean that we should forget what happened. Even if this were possible, it wouldn't be wise to overlook the lessons of the past. Having been badly burned, we must do our best not to get burned again.
There are many ways to do this. Some are simple, sensible, direct and easy to implement.
We can keep the land cleared of brush that can catch fire.
We can be careful not to ignite fires through insensitive and careless actions.
We can educate people about fire safety.
We can stay carefully away from where fires might break out.
There are further possible approaches, but they get more and more extreme.
We can hunt down every known and suspected arsonist.
We can set up road blocks and inspection stations at the entrance to every forest, checking that no matches or hazardous materials are brought into the forest.
Where would we stop? How much would we let our anxieties from the past govern our actions in the present?
It is natural for fires to break out periodically in nature, mostly from lightning. If there aren't periodical fires, brush may get so overgrown that when a fire does break out, it burns the vegetation much more severely. And nature recovers from the fire, which actually opens up spaces for new growth. Farmers have also used this approach in controlled burns.
It is natural for fires to ignite in the hearts of men who feel that they are being treated unfairly or unjustly. This does not justify what the terrorists have done, but it suggests that we might consider ways to respond to their actions that differ from the current focus of fighting fire with fire.
In order to do this we have two major challenges. The first is to seek to understand the terrorists' motivations. The natural tendency is to approach this exploration with blame and with the wish that THEY should be the ones to change. This is a choice that is almost always doomed to failure, as it is beyond our range of influence or control. What we have the power to do is to find those seeds for the hatreds that we ourselves have planted, which have grown over many years and fueled the flames of terrorism.
The second challenge is by far the harder: to look within ourselves, realizing that how we respond is our own choice - with major consequences if we fail to choose forgiveness.
Jerry Jampolsky and Diane Cirincione point out that failure to forgive can have several consequences. Carrying resentments and failing to forgive often contribute to negative symptoms, such as lack of response to medications, stress-related disorders and blocks in relationships. Forgiveness is not about the other person changing. It is about choosing whether to take on the life of an avenger or releasing the negative feelings and resuming a normal life. "Not forgiving is like taking poison and expecting someone else to die."
Surprisingly but clearly, from the responses of some of the victims' families, it is possible to reach to a state of acceptance and forgiveness even in the initial reactions to having family members victimized.
Forgiveness is good for your health!
Still holding grudges? Check your pulse: New research suggests that harboring feelings of betrayal may be linked to high blood pressure which can ultimately lead to stroke, kidney or heart failure, or even death.
In a study exploring the effect of having a forgiving personality on both psychological and physical stress responses, University of Tennessee (UT) students discussed two betrayal experiences--by a parent and by a friend or romantic partner. As they spoke, researchers measured their blood pressure, heart rate, forehead muscle tension and skin conduction responses.
The results, presented at this year's American Psychosomatic Society Annual Meeting, showed that "high" forgivers--those who forgive easily--had both a lower resting blood pressure and smaller increases in blood pressure rate than "low" forgivers bigger grudge-holders.
Talking about betrayal can make anyone's blood boil, says Kathleen Lawler, Ph.D., head researcher and psychology professor at UT, but forgiving transgressions appears to promote better overall health: High forgivers reported fewer physician visits for physical ailments. "Forgiveness might enhance health by reducing the excessive physiological burden that comes with unresolved stressful experiences, like the hurt and offense attributed to others," she explained...
From Psychology Today Magazine, Jul/Aug 2000
Forgiveness can also be developed between groups of people, even when they have been warring over many years.
Raymond G. Helmick, SJ and Rodney L Petersen (2001) have edited a book of major importance in this time of soul-searching and groping for immediate solutions following the events of 9-11. An extraordinary spectrum of authors share their experiences of mediation and advocation for peace in many of the most difficult situations in chronically conflict-ridden countries.
The contributors to this collection of essays have broad experiences in mediating and helping to transform relationships between warring parties in chronic conflict situations, as in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, South Africa, and in other countries where tensions have escalated to genocide proportions. They bring to their discussions the wisdom of religious teachings, psychology, mediation, pattern recognition that transcends the immediate conflict situation and plain old common sense.
Leaders within each group may use the conflicts to their own advantages, distracting their constituents from domestic problems, using the enemy as scapegoats for angers that would otherwise be directed at the administration for unresolved social problems, fueling a war economy, and riding a wave of patriotism. Such politics may impede the progress of reconciliation.
In reconciliation in couples therapy, working on the positives in the relationship and on the feelings can be effective, but it takes much more work on the positives to overcome the negatives. Working on the negatives alone is less likely to be effective.
Working with people in cultural and national conflicts is much more challenging and difficult than working with individual couples. First there have to be preparatory sessions with each side. Victims have to begin to explore their angers, hatreds, wishes for vengeance and feelings of not being in control. They must begin to relinquish holding onto the advantage of perceived righteousness of victimhood. The aggressors have a harder time at this stage – needing to acknowledge and address moral wrongs of having been oppressors. Each side must begin to see and acknowledge the hurts and injuries of the other side.
Next, the two sides
have to get together to explore how to initiate dialogue between them.
The presence of a respected third party as advisor is helpful.
Encouraging the development of human connections is essential to success. The oppressed side needs to feel that its hurts and suffering have been heard and acknowledged by the oppressors. The oppressors need to come to a place of acknowledging that they did hurtful things and to ask for forgiveness.
Hopefully, it will eventually be possible to find ways to mediate between the Al Quaeda terrorists and Western nations. While such suggestions may seem far-fetched in today's atmosphere of President Bush's pursuits of verngeance and wars, hopefully healing will prevail rather than ever-repeating cycles of violence.
The skeptic may scoff that no concrete healing suggestions are offered. This is precisely because none are presently apparent. The experiences of those engaged in forgiveness mediation is that what is needed is to hold a healing space within which all the parties involved in the conflicts can evolve their own healing process, negotiations and agrements.
FORGIVENESS NET: The meaning and power of forgiveness
- human and divine
Unhappiness is the product of dissatisfaction with our present condition. We constantly compare where we are now with our past or with our wishes and dreams for the future.
We often speak of acceptance as a generally desirable state, and in counseling often work hard to achieve this. Very little research is available on acceptance. Randall Mason and colleagues published a lovely study showing that people with higher acceptance levels on a complex rating scale did better following surgery for retinal detachment.
|Mason et al article
Modern society has invested heavily in safety and security. We have bought the illusion that we can control our environment, that we can eventually conquer all diseases, and may soon expect to halt the processes of aging. We are even led to believe that someday we may be able to banish the grim reaper - death.
9-11 has shaken our sense of security.
On the surface, 9-11 shows us that there may be no way to stop an enemy who is so determined to hurt us that he will sacrifice his life to do carry out this mission.
On deeper levels, 9-11 shows us that there are major tensions and hatreds in the world - dry tinder just waiting for a spark to ignite into flames of violence.
On deeper levels yet, 9-11 sounds an alarm that something is very deeply wrong with our world.
America has grown accustomed to believing we are safe because we are the most powerful nation in the world. We have lived in comfortable isolation from direct attacks by those who are unhappy with some of our exports: our lifestyle that is not family-based; our self-serving economic policies; and our attitudes of superiority. We have proselytizer our lifestyle through the media, music and films. We really believe as a nation that we are the greatest and best and most worthy of emulation.
But many are not happy even within our Western society. Depression is rampant. Scientists estimated in 1997 that 18 million Americans suffer severe depression each year, with one in five experiencing a major depressive episode during their lifetime. We spend billions of dollars every year on antidepressants and tranquillizers.
9-11 invites us to ask, "What is going wrong with our world?"
9-11 has jarred us because it challenges our sense of control over our lives and destinies. We are so used to being in control that death itself has become a stranger to us, and one which we distance ourselves as much as possible.
In being a nation of do-ers, a nation of control freaks (relative to the rest of the world, which knows and values rest and "doing nothing"), we have a hard time understanding the liberation that surrender and acceptance bring.
Surrender requires purity of intention. In the absolute freedom it grants in response to our letting go, it requires an absolute commitment of holding on to nothing. Whatever you thought you had - the idea, the expectation, the plan, the hope of how things should be - you must let go of it fully. Surrender is stepping away from the certainty of your categories into the no-man's land of all possibilities.
it is surrendering, in letting go into the void--into the mysterious,
unnamed, mystical formless future; into the arms that are invisible -
that we become finally ready to receive it all. Surrender is the giving
of your all to the All; the waiting with an absolute absence of expectation
for the totally perfect thing to occur.
other healing approaches may be helpful with 9-11 residues and other anxieties
and fears.
Oriah Mountain Dreamer has a lovely book suggesting several meditations on compassion and acceptance of others - as reflections of ourselves.
Often, we seek to know ABOUT HEALING but hesitate TO ENGAGE WITH HEALING.

Quotations are from:
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
(p. 46-47)
Start by selecting a relatively small problem, an annoyance or frustration that angered you but didn't hurt very deeply. It could be someone who was rude to you in a store, or someone who cut in front of you while driving. Write down what this is and how you responded.
Go into a quiet, meditative space. You might use a breathing focus to get there, such as watching your breath as it comes in and goes out. Tell any thoughts, feelings or sensations that might come along that you can give them your full attention later, but right now you are focusing just on your breath.
When you feel you are centered, with your body quiet and your mind relatively free of distractions, find a space within you where there is love, acceptance, healing and forgiveness. Ask your for inner resources to strengthen each of these healing qualities. If you are comfortable with this, prayer might be appropriate for support from higher support, from God, Christ, Buddha, Allah, angels, or whoever is there to help you.
Now, focus on the incident you selected and on the brief rush of negative emotions you felt. "Be aware of what it feels like to put another out of your heart, if only for a moment. Let your self replay the incident and expand the internal railing against the other's inconsiderateness."
"Now decide: Do you want to find a way to have compassion for this other person in the situation that annoyed you? Are you willing to see another you in their behavior?"
If your answer is YES, start to see that same situation from the other person's perspective. Though you may know little or nothing about them or why they chose to behave like they did. Consider what may have been behind what they did. Were they uncaring? Reckless? Selfish?
"Consider why you sometimes - possibly under very different circumstances - behave recklessly, carelessly, or in a manner that doesn't consider others." You may be responding in a state of tiredness, under pressure, angry or frightened.
Explore a range of possibilities until you are able to sense "another you in the behavior of this person who annoyed and irritated you." When you reach this resonation, imagine that you are holding yourself and the other person in that space within you where there is love, acceptance, healing and forgiveness. Now sense that you are holding yourself and the other person in this space when you are weary, afraid or angry. This is not about condoning the negative behavior. "...simply hold in your heart this other and yourself when either of you is struggling with this particular challenge of being human."
When have explored this process several times and you feel it is working well for you, you may consider using this for more serious challenges to your compassion.

Betrayal: When good friends go bad
When you've been friends with someone forever, it seems like there is no way that anything could happen which would tear you both apart except death. Yet, sometimes life comes at us out of nowhere, and the best of friends can turn on one another without blinking an eye. The most common reason for this separation is betrayal. Maybe your best friend stole your spouse or told your darkest secret? Maybe it was your best friend who was behind all those scandalous rumors that have been going around? When a good friend goes bad it makes you wonder, who can you really trust? The thing is, a REAL best friend doesn't go bad. They do not spread rumors or betray their friends in anyway. They are not competitive, envious or malicious. While of course, simple squabbles will occur like in any friendship, these are quickly forgotten and the friendship is left without any damage.
Even through you know that a real friend would not have left you shocked and in the dust, it doesn't take away from the pain that sets in. The first reaction is often anger, but as this anger subsides you may even miss your old best friend. You need to forget this so called friend and move on with your life. Once the trust is broken, it can never be repaired and your friendship will just be one of suspicion and questioning. Moving on can seem difficult, especially if that person was a huge part of your life, but it is definitely do-able and with time you will forget about the person you once called your best friend.
So, you may be wondering exactly how you can get through this? Well losing a best friend is somewhat similar to a breakup. Your heart is broken and while you just want to sit home and eat a gallon of ice cream while watching your favorite chick flick, that type of healing is only temporary. After allowing yourself enough time to grieve, get out there, find a new activity and meet new people. That is the most important part of healing and learning to leave those memories in the past where they belong. You may not have realized it at the time, but sometimes being so focused on a friendship cuts out all other ties. Its time to regain those ties with former friends. Even if they haven't received a call from you in years, trust that hearing from an old friend is always welcoming. Make plans with old friends, get out and try to meet other people while your at it. You may be surprised how many interesting people you meet along the way.
If you are having a hard time getting out with old friends, there are other ways to get out there and find people who share your interests. Do you enjoy reading? Join a book club and meet with others who do as well. Joining an activity that you enjoy which allows you to connect with others can help you to form great friendships with honest people who have your best interest in mind. When a good friend goes bad, remember that you are above them and their betrayal, so give your friendship to someone who deserves it.
Break ups are never easy, whether the break up is permanent or temporary; the most important thing you can do, is never bad mouth your former friend (or your ex) even if the things you want to say about him or her are true. While revenge is sweet, remember what goes around comes around. Be the better person by turning your cheek, now that's classy!

Vampiria is generally a Melodic Black Metal, from Argentina. The history of Vampira begins in April 1997, in the small-town of Olavarría, 400 km south of Buenos Aires. At that moment their style was a sort of Doom/Death Metal with hints of traditional heavy metal. After a short period of time a keyboard-player and a soprano enter the band, closing its birth-sequence. This provokes a big change in the composition as well as in their sound, having the chance to work with new solutions, and get closer to Symphonic Black Metal and Dark Metal with Gothic themes.

The Saint Paul Foundation's Facing Race We're All in This Together initiative received a grant of $1.8 million to expand its Saint Paul-focused anti-racism work to the entire state of Minnesota. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded grants to 119 organizations as part of its America Healing initiative to support racial equity and healing.
"Our community has some very stark racial disparities, and racism has played a very real and insidious role in creating these imbalances," said Carleen Rhodes, president and CEO of The Saint Paul Foundation. "Discomfort about racism prevents us from moving the conversation about racism forward. We are grateful to the Kellogg Foundation for the generous funding that enables us to share the Facing Race dialogue program throughout Minnesota with individuals, organizations and communities that are committed to undoing racism."

Planes and Pillows
Let's talk for a minute about pillows. Iâm vexed and perplexed by the widespread phenomenon of teenage girls carrying giant fluffy pillows onto airplanes.
I'm uncertain when exactly this trend got started, but you see it everywhere.
Granted itâs a helpful idea, now that many carriers no longer dispense even tiny, non-fluffy pillows on all but the longest flights. In a window seat, putting a pillow between your body and the sidewall creates a comfy sleeping surface.
The trouble is, people like me are out of the club. Grown-up men canât walk through airports with giant fluffy pillows unless weâre willing to get laughed at. I've seen thousands of girls carrying pillows, but I'm not sure that I've ever seen a man or boy carrying one. Weâre stuck with those stupid inflatable neck brace things. The other night I watched a flight boarding for Barcelona. Like most midsummer flights to Europe, it was loaded with kids between ages 17 and 25. No fewer than 25 girls had brought oversized pillows from home. Total count for the guys: zero.
This isn't right. To hell with dignity, it's time to rise up and break the pillow barrier. Who will be first?
I'm thinking we should organize a march -- a line of men strutting proudly through the concourse, giant pillows proudly in hand.
"We're men, we're strong, this is true,
Fluffy pillows aren't just for you!
Downy soft, pastel blues,
Come on girls, let us snooze!"
Later, in the parking lot, we can toss a few of those neck braces into a bonfire.
I smell a gold here mine for airport merchants. Why not a pillow shop right there in the terminal? Unlike most of the high-end crap sold at airports (watches, jewelry, massage chairs), here would be something genuinely useful. Instead of lugging those pillows from home, the girls could pick one up gate-side for a few bucks. You'd have a choice of foam or feather, and a selection of cotton pillowcases to pick from. To entice the guys, cases could be emblazoned with sports team and beer logos.
Passengers wouldn't need take-along pillows, maybe, if airlines tried a little harder to make their seats more comfortable. There's only so much you can do with an economy class chair, but as I've written in the past, some inexpensive tweaks would go a long way. The problem with economy isn't a lack of legroom or even a lack of space, per se. The problem is the often gruesome ergonomics of the space that exists. There's no lumbar support; arm-rests are at the wrong height, tray tables are the wrong size and shape, etc.
And headrests. Lots of planes feature headrests in economy nowadays. It's a nice idea, but almost always the things are flimsy and poorly designed. The wedges don't fit snugly enough around, and so your head simply rolls over them. They're useless, basically. Instead of investing slightly more for a product that works well, airlines spend slightly less for something that doesn't work at all. Not sure that I see the strategy there.
And here's some advice: if youâre going to have pillows on your aircraft, they should be good pillows. On most Asian or European airlines, economy class riders get a comfortable pillow wrapped in attractive fabric. Itâs neither a significant nor expensive item, but itâs a nice one that you can actually sleep against. On an American carrier, assuming there are pillows at all, they tend to be flimsy wedges of foam about the size of a slice of bread, with coverings that tear apart like tissue.

Ex-Vanderbilt Football Player Has Monitoring Device Removed
Updated: Tuesday, January 21 2014, 07:29 PM CST
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.-- Former Vanderbilt football player Cory Batey was back in court on Tuesday after months of constant monitoring by an electronic ankle monitoring device.
Judge Monty Watkins ruled today the rape suspect can have the device taken off, but Batey must report to the bondsman once a week. Batey has had to pay $400 dollars per month since his release from jail in August and his attorney says the cost has been a hardship and he is not a flight risk.
Batey, who lives in Nashville, was the only one of four former Vanderbilt football players required to wear the device. Prosecutors say he is a flight risk because of statements he allegedly made during recorded phone calls from the Metro jail and because of state's evidence against him.
Batey, Brandon Vandenburg, Brandon Banks and Jaborian "Tip" McKenzie will stand trial for rape and sexual battery in mid-August.

Speeding stop leads to drug arrest in St. Lucie
ST. LUCIE COUNTY - A Miami man remained in the St. Lucie County Jail on Monday in lieu of $54,125 bail after allegedly throwing drugs from his car as a Florida Highway Patrol trooper was pulling him over for speeding on Interstate 95 near Fort Pierce.
Patrick Anthony Peter Romeo, 34, was charged with driving while license suspended; destroying, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence; marijuana possession; obstruction without violence; possession of cocaine; and possession of meth with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver, according to an arrest report.
The trooper clocked Romeo doing 82 mph in a 60 mph-zone about 2 miles south of the Orange Avenue exit Sunday morning and flipped on his lights and siren, the arrest report states. Romeo briefly pulled to the shoulder, but then continued north to the exit, where he pulled into the grass and appeared to throw things out the passenger window, it states.
Romeo went east on Orange and turned north on Jenkins Road, where he stopped in a private driveway, the report states. After he was arrested, Romeo told a trooper he had been on his way to New Jersey to pick up money and admitted throwing cocaine from the car, it states.

Armstrong takes early lead in NSW PGA Championship
BY iseekgolf.com | Von Nida Tour | 2003 New South Wales PGA Championship | Round One | 14 Mar 2003
Victorian left-hander David Armstrong has opened with a course record -8 (65) to claim the lead midway through the first round of the Bega Cheese NSW PGA Championship.
Armstrong fired two eagles and five birdies around the Pambula-Merimbula course to grab the top spot midway through Friday's opening round.
Little to no wind and with the greens having been softened by recent rain, the course was left defenseless as under-par golf became the order of the day.
Euan Walters, the 1999 NSW PGA champion was one of a group of five players to lie in second place, two shots behind Armstrong. Perth professional Stephen Collins, Englishman Matt Hazelden, Kiwi Tim Wilkinson and Victorian Larry Austin joined him on that score.
Another seven players were tied on five-under par, while local hope, Jason Ashcroft of Tura Beach, shot 70.
Players are competing for total prizemoney of $100,000. The Bega Cheese NSW PGA Championship is the first event of the newly named Von Nida Tour.

One thing that seems to stump a number of people with BDD 2007 is using the CustomSettings.ini file (accessible via the Rules tab) to automate the deployment wizards. The usual issues are around differing language settings for Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as turning off and on the relevant wizards.
The customsettings.ini file below is a general purpose one that I tend to use as the starting point for most engagements - it has most of the wizard entries (currently set to NO so that they all show) as well as the UK specific language settings for Windows XP and Windows Vista and UK time zone - for the languge settings, just comment out the ones not used (Windows Vista or Windows XP) and turn off the wizards you dont need - remember that any wizards turned off usually need additional parameters to be entered in customsettings.ini for the options they are requesting...
; VISTA LOCALE SETTINGSKeyboardLocale=en-gbUserLocale=en-gbInputLocale=0809:00000809
; XP LOCALE SETTINGS;InputLocale=0809:00000809;UserLocale=0809:00000809
SkipTimeZone=YESTimeZone=85TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time
Addational information on these settings can be found in the Deployment Configuration Guide located in the documentation directory included with BDD 2007 (usually Program Files\BDD 2007\Documentation)
If you choose to add a pc to the domain. and you still use the costomsetting.ini to install some features and need to use auto logon. i found that our AUP is in the way and stop and wait to for the Ok button to be clicked how can i get around this.

Judge: Zachary PD Assistant Chief should be reinstated
BATON ROUGE - A judge has determined Zachary's former assistant police chief should be reinstated to the department.
Bruce Chaisson was fired three years ago after being accused of harassing a neighbor and threatening coworkers.
Recently, District Judge Mike Caldwell ruled a fire and police civil service board acted unconstitutionally before Chaisson was fired in 2008.
Chaisson says this ends a troubling time for him and his family, and he expects to be paid back salary and benefits. He's not sure if he will actually be able to rejoin the department.
Talks between Chaisson's attorney and the city continue. The neighbor who claimed to have problems with Chaisson has moved out out of state; her family had no comment on the judge's ruling.

What actions are to be taken when a group of people reach a "decision point"? There seems to be a general lack of consensus among many of today's grassroots groups. Some are content to join their voices and assets with existing structures. Others are intent on striking out on their own. The Occupy protests have clearly gleaned political insight from old Mickey Rooney movies where staging dramatic plays or making showy statements will win over a perceived cynical or jaded elite. However, to see which model is a success we only need to look to our own history. There seem to be some common misconceptions held about our founding which are made painfully clear today. It seems that many now believe that the early Americans had simply "reached a point" where they had enough. Under this view, there was allegedly a wide consensus that something had to be done and as a result a revolution occurred. It is a statement on the poor education standards in this country that this view persists. This lacking is proved in the actions of the recent occupy "movement". A group of disaffected youths, most of who recently graduated from an institution of higher learning, also reached a point where they felt something must be done. At reaching this epiphany they gathered. The plan seemed to stop there. They gathered and waited. And waited, and waited, and waited. There was no uniform plan or specific goals and nothing was achieved. Although loosely organized, by the time they disbanded, the groups resembled nothing more than angry mobs. At no moment did they come close to emulating the careful and organized example of our founders.
Many can recall the midnight ride of Paul Revere but few today realize the thought and planning that went into the endeavor. The midnight ride was the culmination of months of planning, information gathering, and training. Revere's ride was not a vain attempt to warn the masses. There was no yelling through the night about the coming British. It was a targeted measure to wake particular houses known to contain those who had already volunteered. In the dark of night Revere and a growing number of riders carefully avoided British patrols, and darted to and fro in secret, readying the volunteer force that would oppose the coming British troops. In fact, for Revere, the primary purpose of the ride that night was to warn leaders, John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the force that was coming to arrest them. Once he reached the home where the two men were staying they concluded that the force was far too vast to be designed for the capture of two men. It was then concluded that the purpose of the march was to apprehend the supply of weapons that the Sons of Liberty had amassed in Concord. It was at this point that riders were dispatched to the surrounding towns to ready for a fight at Concord. Even the system of lamps, one if by land and two if by sea, were readied days ahead of time.
On the way to join the growing patriot forces Revere was captured at gunpoint at a British roadblock. His two fellow riders, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, managed to avoid capture. While being interrogated, Revere warned his British captors of the army they were going to face. While slowly being walked along with the British to Lexington he was quickly asked the meaning of the sound of the crack of gunfire as it echoed across the early morning sky about a half-mile outside Lexington. He calmly replied that it was a signal to "alarm the country". Revere was finally freed when upon closer approach to the city the forward British troops heard the town bell ringing. They went back to alert their commanders and released their prisoners while doing so. The British continued their advance and quickly became aware of the purpose and outcome of those midnight rides. A trained militia stood between them and their goal and in the opening salvo of the American Revolution the British army retreated and was harried by organized militia the entire way back to Boston.
Without the forethought and planning the Sons of Liberty would have been crushed and defeated, only a footnote in a very different American history. But luckily for us today, men of wisdom banded together to create a plan of action, and act they did. The shot heard round the world shook political foundations in nations far away. It altered the very fabric of human history as the first time a free nation took its breath. The impact is felt today but can be measured even more accurately by the reaction of great leaders of the time. In the aftermath of the battle John Adams left his home to tour the battlefields. Upon watching the history unfold before his long seeing eyes he said, "The Die was cast, the Rubicon was crossed". Thomas Paine was in Philadelphia when he received the news; upon hearing it he stated that he "rejected the hardened, sullen-tempered Pharaoh of England forever". The future general of the Continental Army and first President of the United States, George Washington remarked in a letter, "The once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched in blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" These last words are pertinent in our time just as they were then. While we do not stare at the choice of slavery, it is true that our freedoms that were so dearly bought are ebbing away. While blood does not threaten to sully our lands the tape with which we are currently drowning in is a familiar shade of red.
The men who built this country did not act with reckless abandon or without careful consideration. Their plans were built upon knowledge that was gathered meticulously and always done with a goal in mind. Not for such a nebulous idea as freedom, but for the God given right of self-governance. The sparks that lit the Rebellion were taxes, it is no different today. We look at an increasingly distant Washington D.C. in an ever shrinking world wondering why our right to self-governance is slowly eroding under the weight of an expanding tax code. In response to these egregious affronts from the British crown our freedom fighters organized peacefully. The words of the Declaration cannot be surpassed,
"We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends."
All attempts were made to avoid open war. We have avenues not made available to our founders. Our ability to organize should be made easier now that lives are not on the line. Our ability to voice our concerns should be much simpler since there are endless opportunities to communicate. Our specific goal is the FairTax. It represents the largest transfer of power from those in government back into the hands of the people since the Revolutionary War. To make the same impact we must act as they did. We must organize and join forces. Our cause is singular; there is no need for duplicative efforts. Notice too, it was an army of volunteers that repelled the attack. There was a cache of supplies. We need men and women of courage and conviction. While we do not need guns and ammo, we need donations and aid. Above all else we need people of action. Those who are not afraid of gathering strength in the dead of night to meet the storm. Those who have ears to the ground and can keep us informed. Those who are ready at a moment's notice to jump to the aid of the cause. It was individuals who won our country's independence and individuals who guard it today. If we rely on organizations and politicians to win today's battles then we have already ignored the key lessons of our founding. The shot heard round the world toppled an empire. It ended the effectual monarchy. It brought rise to the voice of the people. Imagine what a second volley would do.

2012 Paris: Audi Q2 Previewed with Crosslane Coupe Plug-In Hybrid Concept
Look like a new Viper in the front headlights
This car looks absolutely stunning, close to Aston Martin in the looks catagory and for a fraction of the price. Seeing as how their owned by the same company though, the two are obviously not meant to compete. Like shark said, this car is for those who cant quite afford a v8 vantage, but still want attractive packaging in a sports coupe.
Beautiful! Guess this can be for the budget minded buyer that would like a Aston Martin V-8 Vantage but is just a little out of their price range... probably get similar performance from this baby.
This is the first Jaguar I've ever coveted!!! Beautifully Done.
This is simply gorgeous! Now we need a third income so we can afford to buy one.

Lee official: Luring Nats could cost $30 million
It could cost up to $30 million to lure the Washington Nationals to Lee County for spring training, one county official said.
But it's a price Lee commissioners are willing to explore paying, voting unanimously Tuesday to enter negotiations with the Major League Baseball team.
If they came, the Nationals would be the third team to train in Lee County, joining the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins.
In an email last month, Jeff Mielke, executive director of the Lee County Sports Authority, wrote "it would be very difficult to bring them here unless we un-earth around $30 million for renovations or find a new funding source."
The team wants expanded player development facilities at City of Palms Park in Fort Myers, as well as improved training equipment, therapeutic equipment, and different seating options, among other requests, county officials said. They also have requested improving the connectivity between the stadium and the heart of downtown.
The concern is the county's commitment to the Twins — longtime Lee County spring training residents — who have requested improvements to their ballpark, Hammond Stadium, Mielke wrote. The Red Sox vacated City of Palms Park this year after the county built them the nearly $80 million JetBlue Park off Daniels Parkway.
"There simply isn't enough money to go around," Mielke wrote. "If we can get state funding to help us with the Twins, then that might offer up some budget relief."
But when reached on the phone Tuesday, Mielke said the $30 million figure is merely a starting point for negotiations.
Commissioners directed staff to spend the next 90 days determining the feasibility of meeting the Nationals' needs. However, they agreed the Twins take precedence.
The Twins' preliminary wish-list at Hammond Stadium is to the tune of $60 million, Meurer said at the meeting. He later added that number is only if every item on the Twins' dream list came to fruition, which isn't possible.
"The Twins are here, they're the first team Lee County brought in," Commissioner Tammy Hall said. "I'm committed to making sure they know this is their home and we want for them to stay here for another 30 years."
The Nationals have been training at the former Miami Marlins' Space Coast Stadium in Viera, but their contract with Brevard County ends in 2017. The team is expected to repay their remaining debt at the stadium by 2013, and could break their contract after that.
The Nationals could remain in Viera, or could move to a new site in Florida or Arizona.
"(The Nationals are seeking) what any major league team wants in a spring training facility," Assistant County Manager Doug Muerer said.
Jeff Kottkamp, who chaired the Florida Sports Foundation when he was lieutenant governor, said the primary issue is not bringing more teams to Florida, but keeping the teams that currently train in Florida from moving to Arizona.
Kottkamp, of Cape Coral, said Arizona's cluster team model — four teams training in close proximity — is attractive, and recommended Florida adopt a similar model. If the Nationals move to the west coast of Florida, it could help propel Florida to that level, he said.
"It is in the Nationals best interest to come to Lee County," Kottkamp wrote in an email. "After all, every team that has trained in Lee County has won the World Series. Moreover, being located near three other teams would significantly reduce the cost and time of travel to games."
Though Commissioner Brian Bigelow voted for the negotiations with the Nationals, he's determined to play hard-ball with them.
"If I were the negotiator at the table, I'd say that (The City of Palms Park) is a world class facility, there's a lot of good luck in it," he said. "I heard the Nationals are tough negotiators. That's the reputation I've heard of them. Just want to be strong and clear in our position that we don't have a lot of play field money."
Hall said both the Red Sox and the Twins are aware of each step the county is taking to lure another team.
"While it's still too early to say whether or not this will go through, it would be good news in terms of travel schedules for the teams," Red Sox spokeswoman Zineb Curran said. "We are also supportive of whatever is best for Lee County."
Hall and Commissioner Ray Judah will travel to Washington D.C. in April or May to meet with Nationals' senior management to continue the discussions.

Who should attend our Summit
This is a unique opportunity where government and industry will come together to chart a path toward a far-reaching vision for connected, home-based health technologies through public-private partnerships.
Companies, government, and consumers are developing partnerships to address the challenges of the coming "age wave". Through the application of consumer-directed technologies, opportunities exist to empower individuals to take charge of their own health care and maintain independence.
Thanks to the many miracles of modern healthcare, Americans are living longer than ever before. But, as our senior population doubles over the next two decades, we face a critical challenge: to increase the quality of care for a record number of seniors, while at the same time reducing the nation's health-care costs. The current healthcare and long-term care systems cannot scale to meet the needs of this coming age wave.
If we are to deliver quality care to today's and tomorrow's seniors, we need a wellness revolution. That is, we need to apply American innovation to advance the development of new technologies that will enable prevention, early detection, increased compliance and new modes of remote caregiving and family support. To achieve this vision, interoperability must exist among medical devices, in-home appliances and electronic health information. American corporations, government and consumers have begun to develop partnerships to address these needs, but these efforts must be coordinated and accelerated. We only have a few years to prepare for the first wave of Baby Boomers who will reach age 65 in 2011. It is imperative that our nation be proactive in putting forth a plan to prepare us for this age wave that will impact our healthcare system, our economy and our society.
Attend this Summit and participate in discussions on the current state of technologies, on-going private-public efforts, gaps and barriers, and next steps towards the vision of independent living through a continuum of in-home, patient-centric care and services for an aging population.

Radiation 50 Gy (weeks 4-9)Procedure: Surgery
EsophagectomyDrug: sunitinib (Sutent)
sunitinib (Sutent), dose range of 12.5mg - 50mg OD x 1 year post op.
Detailed Description:
Survival outcomes for resectable esophageal cancer remain poor. Current data strongly support an adjuvant systemic strategy to improve time to progression and survival in this patient population. Adding a well-tolerated oral targeted therapy such as Sutent, after a combined chemo/radiation/surgery approach in this patient population has the potential to impact on the minimal residual disease left behind by relatively effective pre-operative chemoradiation and surgery. This has the potential to improve survival. The primary endpoint is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of adjuvant Sutent therapy (SU11248) after concurrent neoadjuvant therapy with irinotecan, cisplatin, external beam conformal radiotherapy plus surgery for potential resectable esophageal cancer. Preclinical and clinical data suggest that Sutent will have activity in esophageal cancer, as the results of Sutent activity in solid tumors appear to be superior to the results of other antiangiogenic compounds in development for esophageal cancer. Therefore, by extrapolation from promising phase I, II and III Sutent trials we propose to translate the target effects achieved with Sutent to reduce local and systemic therapy failure, and thus metastasis in esophageal cancer.
