The IMF: Lawless Cosmopolitanism
The D.C. offices of the International Monetary Fund are "an international island in the midst of the American capital," furnishing "a climate in which romances often flourish -- and lines are sometimes crossed," Binyamin Applebaum and Sheryl Gay Stolberg report in the New York Times.
The IMF's "female employees [are] vulnerable to harassment," they report, citing numerous examples. "The laws of the United States do not apply inside its walls, and until earlier this month the I.M.F.'s own rules contained an unusual provision that some experts and former officials say has encouraged managers to pursue the women who work for them: 'Intimate personal relationships between supervisors and subordinates do not, in themselves, constitute harassment.'"
How long have we Americans been lectured about how backward the United States is, and how much more sophisticated our European superiors are? Yet if recent news accounts are to be believed, IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn had been boorishly imposing himself on women for years -- and was never called to account until he made the mistake of attempting to rape a hotel maid in Manhattan.
Our old-fashioned belief in the Rule of Law is one of those allegedly "backward" traditions that Ruling Class elitist are forever trying to cure us of. Perhaps now we understand why.

This mascara does wonders! I used to have very short eyelashes. In fact they were so short that I couldn't even curl them! But after using this mascara 2-3 times a week, my lashes got longer and appear to be more volumized. And I can now curl my lashes! Unfortunately this mascara does not hold curls very well. However if you need to lengthen your lashes, this will definitely help.

It looks like people are pretty divided on this mascara. Anyway, I like it. It doesn't give me spider eyes. The right amount comes out on the brush. I have this in black and it is my go to mascara for the day. It really enhances my lashes and makes them stand out.

This mascara clumps wayyyyyy too much. The final look using this product is just not very pretty and it looks like you have too much black mess on your eyelashes. Even my fiance, who usually does not notice anything different with my makeup, made a comment about how it looks so 'cakey.' Will not be repurchasing.

This mascara clumps so bad! I curled my lashes and applied the mascara, after one coat I looked like I had four eyelashes. This stuff is not worth the money, this mascara is worse than Falsies by Maybelline New York.

I think this is an amazing product if you want a defined, lengthened look. I personally love this mascara, but it is a little deceiving because it does not do much in the way of lash doubling. I find that if you use it, then let it dry out for a little and come back to it. I find it gives a really pretty look if you do that. Is it as great as Lights, Camera! Lashes? No. I would choose that over this in a heartbeat, but this is great if you want a defined, lengthened, but not completely natural lash look.

the packaging is fine. its nice and slim so would fit well in a purse
its around 14.50- which isnt too bad for a higher end mascara but its not worth it. You go through mascara so quickly and its unsanitary to use the same one for a long period of time, so theres no point on shelling out money.
I love wet mascaras but this is a like a slip and slide. it is so wet that it transfers unto my brow bone and its hard to remove even with makeup remover.
It clumps the lashes together, its not chunky and gross looking, its looks more like false lashes
This mascara stings so much. I apply it and afterwards i can hardly open my eye. even after wearing it for three hours it continued to sting so badly that i removed it at work with handsoap from the bathroom, and even that felt relieving on my eye
I cannot recommend this. No volume, super wet, irritating and definitely not worth the money.

I am very surprised at all of the negative reviews for this product. I have read multiple reviews which say that this gives lashes a very "natural" look, and would only be appropriate for daytime--that you couldn't get a dramatic look with this mascara.
Here's why people say that (and it happens to be the reason I LOVE this mascara): This mascara does not clump whatsoever. It doesn't make the tips of your eyelashes thick and crispy like so many other mascaras out there. I think people are so used to the caked on, spidery eyelash look that they are disappointed when their lashes look REAL. It will take two coats to get it to the "dramatic" level, but the result is stunning.
Another reason I love this mascara is because of the brush. The tapered point is perfect for separating lashes and shaping the overall look, as well as getting those bottom lashes.
Bottom line is, I love this mascara, and I will repurchase!

I also experienced eye irritation from this mascara, odd from a Clinique product. Mascara itself worked well enough, but the eye irritation, even if it goes away after a while, is unacceptable. Plus many other economical options in DS mascaras.

I got this sample from Macy's and it's an average mascara. Looks very natural on my top and bottom lashes. It does irradiate my eyes for a bit but it does go away. I love how easy this mascara comes off with make up remover face wash.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium

I really wanted to like this mascara. It created a nice natural look and didn't clump. I used the small tapered end for lower lashes, and it was really buildable!
Unfortunately I had such a reaction to this in my eyes.. I've never felt anything burn like this is my life, it was actually like fire. If one little bit touches my eyes, they swell up, get sore, red, and water and water until there's no more mascara left... It really sucked when I was at work or out and about and I had a sudden reaction to this stuff! How embarrassing!
This was the only product I've ever bought that I had to return.. Couldn't make this one work. I wonder what's in it that's so toxic!

My go to panties
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
- Size Bought: XL
I got a 3 pairs for a week long backpacking trip. They were comfortable, easy to clean, quick to dry, an packed well. I like them so well that I purchased 3 more pairs to replace my old cotton briefs. You won't regret purchasing them.
ExOfficio Give-N-Go Underwear

Stretch diamond-weave mesh fabric
Low profile 5/8" elastic waistband
Extremely quick-drying
Highly breathable

94% Nylon / 6% Lycra Spandex
The rumors are true!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
I have a few friends that think Exoficio Give-N-Go Bikini Briefs are the best underwear and said once anyone tries them they couldn't wear 'normal" cotton underwear again....well, be careful when you try these because it is true. I am now spoiled! They feel so soft and they add a whole new level of comfort I didn't know I wanted until I put these on. Love them!
Give-N-Go Bikini Brief
17 countries. 6 weeks. One pair of award-winning underwear. (Ok, maybe two.)
Join the thousands of people who have discovered the ExOfficio travel underwear revolution. Just toss your Give-N-Go's in the laundry or wash them in a sink. Within hours you will have a fresh, dry pair of underwear. Breathable, lightweight, and long-wearing, you will toss them into your carry-on for every trip. Soon they will replace every other pair in your underwear drawer.
The best!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I got a pair of the boy shorts a while back and loved those, but now that I have these I think they're the better of the two. They are a bit more of a brief than I usually like and I might try the low rise bikini but for the time being these are my favorite underwear. I wish I had enough to wear every day. Someone else mentioned that the best underwear are the ones you don't notice and that's exactly what these are. Incredibly comfortable, easy maintenance, very breathable, and good fit. I wear size 14 in jeans and the xl fit really well. A large may have worked but I'd rather have them a little big than too small.
Not A Bikini! Think BRIEF
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
- Fit:True to size
Whoa, Nana's panties! This is definitely not a bikini: the rise goes all the way up to your belly button. Nothing "bikini" about it.
you probably would like the "string bikini" better than the brief version.
Favorite Underwear
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
I lived in Ghana, West Africa for 4 months with no clothes washer. These underwear were a life saver whether I was down to my last pair and needed them ASAP, or if I had limited space and could only bring one or two pairs on a week long excursion. I wear a medium in VS underwear, and these mediums fit me great! I wear pants size 10/12. If you want comfortable, breathable underwear, these are the ones for you!
Purple undies
These were great for an extended backpacking trip! My nether regions have never worn a piece of gear so well-made for them. Also, washes in streams easily and dries quite quickly.
Fits and wicks
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
I have a bigger bum and these fit. I hike for work and need wicking underwear. These do the trick! So glad I found them! I'd been a Patagonia Hipster or Isis Hipster wearer (RIP Isis) for years, but I like these better! I am a 10/curvy athletic fit and got a Medium.

While underwear purchases don't usually fall on the exciting end of the gear buying spectrum, every girl has to layer properly, and these don't disappoint. My initiation to ExOfficio products was about two years ago with a pair of underoos and pants that helped get me through a 7 week trip around Oz, NZ, and a couple South Pacific islands, confined to one carryon of stuff. The quick-dry claims proved true, even in the island heat and humidity. I loved these products so much, I doubled down and bought a few extra pairs for a recent trek up Kilimanjaro. Now, I say the best underwear are the pairs you don't notice while wearing, and even during our hot, dry day hiking, or the few times we had to scramble over rocks, I never once had to re-adjust or wish they would air out. Overall, a superb option for the active girl's wardrobe, and a great way to layer without drama.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
Wife says: Breathable, lightweight, comfortable. Great fit! No wedgies with these ones. They stay put.
What's the difference between the "Give n Go" Bikini Brief and the regular bikini brief?
If they are both from ExOfficio, it is just a name update. Give-n-Go is the name of the material used in the underwear, same material for several years. They did upgrade the anti-microbial so it is longer lasting, but that is only recent update. Hope this helps.

Synthesis, characterization and properties of rigid macromolecules with extended conjugation, using palladium-catalyzed alkynylated polyhaloarenes.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Akintomide, Temiloluwa
Description: A synthetic approach to macromolecules of acetylenic arrays and luminescent properties is proposed and the execution of initial steps is described. Palladium-catalyzed coupling of 1,3,5-triiodobenzene with trimethylsilylbuta-1,3-diyne, trimethylsilylocta-1,3,5,7-tetrayne, and trimethylsilylhexadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-octayne to yield the new 1,3,5-tris(trimethylsilylbuta-1,3-diynyl)benzene and the proposed 1,3,5-tris(8-(trimethylsilyl)octa-1,3,5,7-tetraynyl)benzene and 1,3,5-tris(trimethylsilyl)hexadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-octaynyl)benzene respectively. The proposed three-coordinate Au (I) complexed macromolecules will be derived from the metallation of the aforementioned alkynylated arenes.

Studies of spin alignment in ferrocenylsilane compounds and in regiospecific oxidation reactions of 1,9-dimethylpentacyclo [5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05,9]undecane-8,11-dione.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Atim, Silvia
Description: Part I. The syntheses of a series of stable ferrocenylsilane compounds and their corresponding polyradical cations are reported. Electron spin properties of these molecules were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, ESR, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. All the compounds presented, showed significant electronic communication (>100 mV) between the redox centers by CV. Part II. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of (1,9-dimethyl-PCU-8,11-dione) was performed using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in 1:2 molar ratios. The product obtained was the corresponding dilactone 113. The structure of the reaction products was established unequivocally via single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The reaction of the 1,9-dimethyl-PCU-8,11-dione with 1:1 molar ratio of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid produced again the dilactone 113, and not the expected monolactone 114. Ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) promoted oxidation reaction of 1,9-dimethyl-PCU-8,11-dione afforded a mixture of dimethylated lactones, which indicated unique reaction mechanism pathways. These individual isomers, 115 and 116, have been isolated from these mixtures via column chromatography by using silica gel as adsorbent followed by fractional recrystallization of individual chromatography fractions. Structures of these pure products have been established unequivocally by application of single crystal X-ray crystallographic methods.

New Adventures in the Chemistry of Polycarboncyclic Ring Systems
Date: December 1997
Creator: Dong, Zhiming (Eric)
Description: I. Diels-Alder reactions of 1,2,3,4,9,9-hexachloro-1,4,4a,8a-tetrahydro-1,4-metha- nonaphthalene (16) and 1,2,3,4,9,9-hexachloro-1,4,6,7-tetrahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalene (17) toward dienophiles N-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (MTAD), N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) and/or N-methylmaleimide (NMM) have been examined. II. Epoxides derived from functionalized 1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydro-9,10-dioxo-1,4-methanoanthracenes (1a and 1b) undergo acid- and base-promoted intramolecular nucleophilic ring-opening to form new polycyclic alcohols. III. The title cycloalkylidenecarbene has been generated via reaction of 8-methylenepentacyclo[188.8.131.52^{2,6}.0^{3,10}. 0^{5.9}]undecan-11-one (44) with diethyl diazomethyl-phosphonate (DAMP). This species could be trapped in situ by cyclohexene, thereby affording the corresponding cycloadduct 46a and 46b.

Synthesis and properties of novel cage-functionalized crown ethers and cryptands.
Date: August 2001
Creator: Hazlewood, Anna
Description: A novel cryptand was synthesized which contained a 3,5-disubstituted-4- oxahexacyclo[5.4.1.02,6.03,10.05,9.08,11] dodecane "cage" moiety. In alkali metal picrate extraction experiments the cryptand exhibited high avidity towards Rb+ and Cs+, when compared with the corresponding model compound. A computational study of a series of cage-functionalized cryptands and their alkali metal-complexes was performed. The X-ray crystal structure of a K+-complexed bis-cage-annulated 20-crown-6 was obtained. The associated picrate anion was found to be intimately involved in stabilization of the host-guest complex. The interaction energy between the host-guest complex and picrate anion has been calculated, and the energy thereby obtained has been corrected for basis set superposition error.

Synthesis and Complexation Studies of Novel Functionalized Crown Ethers and Azacrown Ethers
Date: May 2006
Creator: Huang, Zilin
Description: Novel cage-functionalized azacrown ethers, i.e. 51, 52, 53, 55, 57, 61 and 62, which have various crown cavity and different number of nitrogen atoms incorporated, have been prepared. X-ray structures of 53, 55 and 57 have been obtained for the study of the crown topological structure. The complexation properties of crown 51, 52, 57, 61 and 62 have been evaluated via alkali metal picrate extraction, silver picrate extraction and ESI-MS study. The novel cage-fuctionalized azacrown ethers generally exhibit high avidity and selectivity towards Ag+ versus alkali metal ions and some transition metals i.e. Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+. Crown 61 displays significant avidity and selectivity toward K+ in alkali metal picrate extraction experiments vis-à-vis the remaining alkali metal picrates. Three types of ditopic ion-exchange receptors for sodium hydroxide extraction study have been designed. All of the crown ether molecules have proper cavity for selective sodium complexation and have weakly acidic ionizable alcohols for sodium-proton exchange under strongly basic conditions. Crown 80 and 81 were synthesized; key intermediates for the synthesis of crown 82, 83 and 84 have been prepared. The preparation of 99 afforded an unexpected crown 103. The preparation of 109 had been attempted, but could not be ...

Synthesis and Properties of Novel Cage-Annulated Crown Ethers
Date: May 2003
Creator: Huang, Zilin
Description: Three cage-functionalized polyoxacrown ethers (9, 10 and 12) and four novel cage-functionalized polyoxamonoazacrown ethers (18, 20, 25 and 29) that contain 3,5-disubstituted-4-oxahexacyclo[5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05,9.08,11]dodecane ("oxahexacyclic") moiety have been synthesized and their respective alkali metal picrate extraction profiles along with that of three analogues 13, 14 and 21 have been obtained. The observed avidities and selectivities of the host molecules toward complexation and transport of alkali metal picrates can be related to the size and shape of their respective macrocyclic cavity and the number of donor atoms. The effect of N-alkyl substitution on the complexation properties of azacrown ethers has been studied. The avidity of N-Et azacrown ethers toward complexation with alkali metal cations is generally higher than that of the corresponding non-N-alkylated hosts. However, the presence of an N-Et group appears to have a negligible effect upon their relative selectivities in their regards. The effect of pH on extraction process was studied; it was thereby determined that the alkali metal picrate extraction experiments are best performed at high pH (ca. 11-12).

Description: A variety of optically active macrocyclic crown ethers that serve as "host" systems that are capable of differentiating between enantiomeric "guest" molecules during host-guest complexation have been prepared via incorporation of chiral elements into the crown ring skeleton. The ability of these crown ethers to recognize the enantiomers of guest salts, i.e., (+) a-methyl benzylamine and to transport them enantioselectively in W-tube transport experiments were studied. The ability of these crown ethers to perform as chiral catalysts in an enantioselective Michael addition was studied. The extent of asymmetric induction, expressed in terms of the enantiomeric excess (%ee), was monitored by measuring the optical rotation of the product and comparing to the literature value.

Synthesis and characterization of diphosphine ligand substituted osmium and ruthenium clusters.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Kandala, Srikanth
Description: The kinetics for the bridge-to-chelate isomerization of the dppe ligand in H4Ru4(CO)10(dppe) have been investigated by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopies over the temperature range of 308-328 K. The isomerization of the ligand-bridged cluster 1,2-H4Ru4(CO)10(dppe) was found to be reversible by 31P NMR spectroscopy, affording a Keq = 15.7 at 323 K in favor of the chelating dppe isomer. The forward (k1) and reverse (k-1) first-order rate constants for the reaction have been measured in different solvents and in the presence of ligand trapping agents (CO and PPh3). On the basis of the activation parameters and reaction rates that are unaffected by added CO and PPh3, a sequence involving the nondissociative migration of a phosphine moiety and two CO groups between basal ruthenium centers is proposed and discussed. The substitution of the MeCN ligands in the activated cluster 1,2-Os3(CO)10(MeCN)2 by the diphosphine ligands dppbz proceeds rapidly at room temperature to furnish a mixture of bridging and chelating Os3(CO)10(dppbz) isomers and the ortho-metalated product HOs3(CO)9[μ-(PPh2)C=C{PPh(C6H4)}C4H4]. Thermolysis of the bridging isomer 1,2-Os3(CO)10(dppbz) under mild conditions gives the chelating isomer 1,1-Os3(CO)10(dppbz), molecular structure of both the isomers have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The kinetics for the ligand isomerization has been investigated by UV-vis ...

Synthesis and characterization of quinoxaline-functionalized, cage-annulated oxa- and thiacrown ethers and reaction chemistry of the diphosphine ligand 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)-N-p-tolylmaleimide (bmi) at triosmium carbonyl clusters.
Date: December 2006
Creator: Poola, Bhaskar
Description: Quinoxaline-functionalized, cage-annulated oxa- and thiacrown ethers have been synthesized as possible specific metal host systems. The synthesis and characterization of quinoxaline-functionalized, cage-annulated oxa- and thiacrown ethers have been described. The characterization of these host systems have been fully achieved in solution by using various techniques such as IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic methods, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), elemental microanalysis, and X-ray crystallographic analysis in case of one quinoxaline-functionalized, cage-annulated oxacrown ether compound. The synthesis of the diphosphine ligand 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)-N-p-tolylmaleimide (bmi) is described. The substitution of the MeCN ligands in the activated cluster 1,2-Os3(CO)10(MeCN)2 by the diphosphine ligand bmi proceeds rapidly at room temperature to furnish a mixture of bridging and chelating Os3(CO)10(bmi) isomers and the ortho-metalated product HOs3(CO)9[μ-(PPh2)C=C{PPh(C6H4)}C(O)N(tolyl-p)C(O)]. Thermolysis of the bridging isomer 1,2-Os3(CO)10(bmi) under mild conditions gives the chelating isomer 1,1-Os3(CO)10(bmi), whose molecular structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The kinetics for the ligand isomerization have been investigated by UV-vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy in toluene solution over the temperature range of 318-348 K. On the basis of kinetic data conducted in the presence of added CO and the Eyring activation parameters, a non-dissociative phosphine migration across one of the Os-Os bonds is proposed. Orthometalation of ...

ANTI Preference of the Pyramidalized Radical Center to the Two Fluorines in Difluoro Cyclic Compounds.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Tanna, Jigisha
Description: An extensive study of disubstituted cycloalkanes like CnH2n where n=3,4,5 and 6 using DFT((U)B3LYP/6-31G(d) and 6-311+G(2df,2p)) calculations is presented focusing on the effect of pyramidalization of the radical center. A potential energy surface (PES) analysis shows that the radical prefers to pyramidalize anti to the two cis fluorines in the disubstituted cycloalkanes. The degree of pyramidalization for 1,2-difluorocyclopropyl radical is 43.9o away from the cis fluorines whereas for 1,3-difluorocyclobutyl radical, 1,3-difluorocyclopentyl radical and 1,3-difluorocyclohexyl radical is 3.8o, 5.4o and 14.5o respectively away from the cis fluorines. The importance of this pyramidality effect in these compounds is discussed in context with the carbon-hydrogen bond dissociation energies (BDE's) because the preference of the radical centers to pyramidalize anti to the fluorines affects the bond dissociation energy. Importance of steric effect and unfavorable electronic interactions have been extensively explored in planar permethylated cyclobutadiene (Me4CBD) and cyclooctatetraene (Me8COT) using ((U)B3LYP/6-31G(d) and 6-311+G(2df,2p)) calculations. It is thought that steric interactions dominate electronic interactions in Me8COT, while this works opposite in case of Me4CBT. Instead, in Me4CBD the number of unfavorable electronic interactions between π bonds and out-of-plane hydrogens plays the dominant role in determining the relative energies. Interactions between the π bonds of CBD and ...

Picture: Katy Perry - 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center - Arrivals at Grammy Awards, Staples Center - Los Angeles, CA, United States - Sunday...
That Katy Perry ring? Sorry folks, it's not an engagement ring, as it happens. When Katy Perry was spotted sporting a ring, after a romantic Valentine's dinner with her dubious beau John Mayer, rumours instantly sparked that the 'Piece Of Me' singer had gotten engaged again. Perry was previously married to British comedian Russell Brand, though their marriage was short-lived.
People magazine have managed to get an answer to the big question of whether or not Perry and Mayer are indeed engaged and it's pretty dull news, we're afraid: they are not engaged, a source told the magazine. So, it looks as though Mayer purchased the unusual ring for his girlfriend and… she just happened to slip it on her ring finger. Perhaps that finger had been feeling a little light since she separated from ex husband Russell.
Mayer had reportedly hand-picked the unusual red ruby heart-shaped design for Katy. It was designed by Daniel Gibbings, a Santa Barbara-based jeweller and designer though it looks as though it was merely a heartfelt Valentine's gesture and nothing more serious, at this stage. A rep for Gibbings to People that the ring isn't a traditional engagement style ring – though it could always be used for that purpose, if that's what the customer wanted. "[Gibbings] uses a lot of texture. The style of his engagement rings are not the usual Neil Lane looking ring. They are definitely more trendy or boho," said the rep.

How Lucky You Are (Mayzie's Reprise) Lyrics
How Lucky You Are (Mayzie's Reprise) Song Lyrics
(improvised vocal scat)
Da da da da da da da...
I was down in Fort Worth,
Just a girl on the wing,
When I met Tweet McFirth.
Oh, could that night owl sing!
Tell yourself
How lucky you are!
How lucky, how lucky you are-
It was three weeks of bliss.
Then the usual segue:
He flew off to San Juan
Leaving me with this egg!
Tell yourself
How lucky you are!
How lucky you are!
Now I'm bored and
I'm cranky and tired
Sitting day after day.
Who knew so much work was required?!
I'd much rather play!
I need a vacation!
I'm due for some rest-
Hey, Horton, would you maybe like to sit on my nest-?
Why, Mayzie I couldn't. Of all silly things!
I haven't got feathers. I haven't got wings.
And not only that, but I'm here on a search.
I just couldn't leave my poor Whos in the lurch!
I won't be gone long, kid. I give you my word.
I'll hurry right back, 'cause I'm that sort of bird!
Oh, Horton, I promise! I'll fly back real soon.
I'd only be gone for, say, one afternoon!
(A beat, as HORTON considers this)
HORTON (relenting)
Well, we all need vacations.
All right go on, take it
I'll sit on your egg
And I'll try not to break it
But please come back quickly-
One hour, maybe two.
I need to find Jojo.
I've got to save Who!
Hit it cat!
(The CAT strikes up an energetic Latin beat on the piano,
accompanying MAYZIE as she flies off, thrilled with her newfound freedom.)
Thanks! Thanks a million! Toodle-oooo!
(The BIRD GIRLS watch as HORTON climbs the tree
with great trepidation and gingerly gets into the nest.)

so, does anyone know what the actual name will be? are they keeping both entities separate? merge both names?
Posted via Mobile Device
I think that after what happened with the Tru Green / Land Care USA nonsense that went on in the late 90's both Valley Crest and Brickman know what is as stake with this merger. I would be hard pressed to say that they will rush into any kind of sudden and drastic changes. I do think however that there will be a lot of cuts to overlapping management positions within about the first year or once the dust settles. These private equity firms are in the business of making money and generating a return for their partners and investors so you can be certain that they are going to work to wring out every last cent of unnecessary overhead from this newly merged operation. I see this whole merger as a plus for some of the larger regional players and even smaller companies like mine. There is going to be some good talent that is let go by this newly created company and I'm fairly certain that in some regions the quality of their work and the strength of their client relationships will suffer as they work to merge the two operations. This will create a chance for the regional players to pick up some new clients. Brickman just moved into the Los Angeles market last year whey they acquired Dworsky Services, so I know very little about the way that they operate. I know plenty about Valley Crest and their hit or miss quality on large commercial maintenance. It's very easy to take jobs from Valley Crest in certain regions. The competition is healthy enough in most of the big markets around the country that I don't think that anybody really has anything to worry about. Big companies like this don't worry me. It's the guy who has no idea what he is doing that thinks he's a big shot and runs around giving away services just to get the work. Those are the guys who make things difficult.
They've already stated everything is staying intact at least for a while.
Honestly valley crest is no where near Brickman before they merged. Brickman is a very powerful company. People put them down on here, but really it's a modern power house.
They also acquired us lawns. So that's more revuene
Black stone owns a little bit of everything. They own some of toys r us as well.
It's like they're trying to be the new Berkshire lol

Excellent flea control
posted 7 years ago
I prefer to keep my three cats' flea infestations under control without chemicals, through regular combing with a flea comb. On those occasions when I spot a little jumper, though, I immediately apply Frontline on all three. No fleas again for months. When it's needed, it's needed.
Pros: Noticeable change in 1 day
Cons: Hazardous chemicals

The Long and Winding Road
It is a conceit of women that men, silly know-it-alls that they believe we are, never ask for directions.
I happen to know that's untrue. I know it because I always ask for directions, even though I often live to regret it. The problem, as I've discovered, isn't that men don't know how to ask for directions, it's that hardly anybody knows how to give them.
For instance, a few years ago, my wife and I celebrated one of my birthdays by taking a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown, New York. Our plane landed in Newark, where I picked up a rental car, and because a friend had insisted that we take the long way around by driving up the east side of the Hudson before heading west to our final destination, I wound up with only a vague notion of where Cooperstown was in relation to Newark.
On our last morning at the hotel, as we sat having breakfast with the other guests, I asked them for the most direct route back to Newark. Most of them were from the general area. One couple was from Philadelphia, another from Buffalo, another from New York City. Along with our hostess, they pretty much agreed on the route. When I asked the group how long the drive should take, their estimates ranged from two to two and a half hours. The hostess suggested that before we hit the road, we pay a visit to a local tourist attraction, a farm in which all the tools and buildings are as they would have been back in the 1800s.
Knowing that we had plenty of time, we made the detour. After about an hour, I asked the locals who worked at the farm if I had been given good directions. They agreed I had, but one of the fellows said he could save me a little time during the first leg of the trip. He explained it would get me to the highway without my having to drive back through town.
I asked him how long this leg was. He said it was five miles. Actually, it was 17 miles. Offhand, that doesn't sound like much. But if you asked someone how long a drive it is from L.A. to Chicago and they told you it was 600 miles and you found out the hard way that it's actually 2,000 miles, wouldn't you feel silly? Did I mention they were doing roadwork on this particular stretch? But at least once we reached the highway, it was pretty much clear sailing down to Newark. The only problem is that unless you're in a vehicle equipped with wings, it doesn't take two hours to get to Newark, it takes about five -- and that's on a nice clear day on the turnpike! In case of bad weather, I suspect that people simply take it as a sign from God, and settle down in Cooperstown.
Once, many years ago, I was invited to address a group in a nearby community. The lady who was in charge gave me my directions. There was only one problem. After getting off the freeway, she had said I should make a left turn until I got to a certain street and then turn right. Naturally, I assumed that after getting off the freeway, I would come to that cross street within, say, a mile. After I'd driven about seven or eight miles, I
began to worry that I had missed it. I had to keep fighting the urge to turn around and retrace my route. I finally found the street, 15 miles from the freeway exit! Now wouldn't you think that a person giving directions might have said, "Oh, by the way, after you make that left turn, you're going to have to drive for 15 more lousy miles"?!
Yesterday, I had to drive to a town about 35 miles away, a town I was completely unfamiliar with. Thanks to MapQuest, I had my directions, and I left plenty of time, as is my wont. However, the freeway I was on suddenly turned into a parking lot. As soon as I could, I got on to surface streets. I thought I couldn't be too far away from my destination, but I knew I would have to stop and ask a local how to find my way.
I got lucky. The first fellow I asked gave me very clear directions. He explained the route and assured me I was within five miles of my goal. So, after I'd gone 10 miles
I figured I better stop and ask someone else. Again, I was lucky. This fellow assured me I was headed in the right direction, and told me that when I reached a certain street, I should turn left. Dreading the answer, I asked him how far I had to go. Naturally, he said it was five miles. But he fooled me. It really was five miles. The only glitch was that after turning left, I discovered that I should have turned right.
These days, MapQuest prevents most of these headaches. The drawback is that it treats you like a blithering idiot. We happen to live in a corner house. Now, I ask you, must MapQuest begin each and every set of directions with: Drive 20 Feet to Hayvenhurst? I think you'd all agree, that's just being plain obnoxious.
Frankly, I'm rather surprised it doesn't suggest that I begin by turning on the ignition and stepping on the gas. I suppose I should be grateful that it doesn't come right out and say: Drive 20 Feet to Hayvenhurst, You Big Dummy.
Anyway, ladies, I hope you now understand that if men are reluctant to ask for
directions, it's not because we're too stubborn or too proud, but because we've decided we're quite capable of getting lost without any help at all.

Magician Avon Lee has gained another Guinness world record -- swapping the clothing of his assistant Phoebe 13 times in under one minute to gain the Guinness record for costume changes. He won Hong Kong's first Guinness record last year.
Lee said he trained for six months with Phoebe – her professional name as a dancer – to prepare for the attempt on the record today.
A crowd of about 3,000 watched Lee perfom at Cityplaza in Taikoo Shing. As the alarm signaling one minute sounded, Lee showered Phoebe with glitter as she appeared in her thirteenth costume. Here is a video of the performance.

Zoning Practice — August 2008
Ask the Author
Here are reader questions answered by Erica Heller, author of the July 2008 Zoning Practice article "Urban Wind Turbines."
Question from Rod Melanson, Natural Resource / Assistant Planner, Town of Topsham, Maine, and Kimberly C. Porter, AICP, Planner, Community Development Department, Village of Skokie, Illinois:
What have you seen as important aspects that must be placed into code to facilitate the implementation of this alternative energy source? Are there standard guidelines that all municipalities should include in a wind turbine ordinance?
Answer from author Erica Heller:
The key to facilitating small wind energy conservation systems (WECS) is to reduce potential negative land use impacts as much as possible without reducing the function of the WECS. Think about small WECS impacts in two categories: (1) nuisance impacts, such as noise and safety issues that could have a real detrimental impact on neighbors' ability to enjoy their own property or on their property value; and (2) and aesthetic impacts, which have not been shown to have any detrimental impact on neighbors' property values but are nonetheless unpopular.
Be sure to include reasonable standards that thoroughly address nuisance issues, as suggested in the article. Next, divide aesthetic impacts into appearance issues (color, signage, etc.) and visibility (location and height). Address appearance to control visual impact, and consider if there are certain character areas (historic districts or scenic byways) where WECS aesthetic impact is such a detriment that they should be excluded from that area. But hold the line for WECS on visibility. Simply put, good wind is in locations that are often visible: ridges, shorelines, bluffs, and well above other structures and trees. In most low and hidden places, wind is slow or turbulent, which severely reduces WECS effectiveness.
Height limits that restrict WECS from good wind access undermine the fundamental purpose of adopting an ordinance to allow them. It's like approving a coal-fired power plant where the coal supply can be delivered only by pack mule! See more on the issue of height in response to the question directly below.
Question from Wyeth Friday, AICP, Planning Division Manager, Planning & Community Services, City of Billings/Yellowstone County:
The City of Billings has drafted a wind turbine ordinance. One of the main issues we are wrestling with is allowance of turbines in high-density residential neighborhoods. We have proposed that the turbine must meet all structural setbacks, not be set closer than 110 percent of the height of the turbine from any property line, and the maximum height of a single use residential turbine is 80 feet.
We have been hearing that this will severely limit small wind turbine use for residential applications, but we are concerned about health, safety, and noise. What thoughts do you have on the regulation and allowance of small turbines in high-density, residential neighborhoods?
Answer from author Erica Heller:
Many communities struggle with setting appropriate height for WECS in residential areas. Height is often of utmost importance to gaining access to strong, steady, non-turbulent winds. The Department of Energy's Wind Powering America program offers a web presentation on the importance of tower height:
A rule of thumb is that the turbine will need to be at least 25-35 feet above any obstruction within 300 feet, and ideally should be twice as high. Some general considerations:
- How high are the structure height limits? If you allow a small WECS in an industrial area with a 65-foot height limit, the WECS should be 90-125 feet tall. Even if there are no 65-foot structures nearby today, the upwind property owner may decide to build up to the limit next year.
- How high are the mature trees that are typically found in the area? Mature Lodgepole Pines (common throughout the Rocky Mountain West) are often 70-80 feet tall, so an 80-foot turbine won't clear these adequately. Also remember that today's saplings will grow tall over time!
- Even where good winds are available much lower, such as along shorelines, there's usually no need to specify lower height limits for these areas, because towers/poles are very expensive. Taller ones are more so, in terms of both purchase price and installation. If excellent quality wind is consistently available at 40 feet, then there is no reason to expect that an owner will build higher if the WECS height limit allows it.
In higher-density neighborhoods, the required setback will often be the limiting factor on possible height. A required setback from property lines of 110 percent of turbine height stated in reverse is a height limit of 91 percent of the distance to the nearest property line.
- The smallest possible lot on which an 80-foot tower could meet a 110 percent setback requirement if it is placed in the exact center of a perfectly square lot, is 30,976 s.f. — or a bit more than 2/3 acre. In the center of a square half-acre lot, the setback rule limits turbine height to about 68 feet. Of course, most lots are not perfectly square and the exact center of the lot may not be available for WECS installation, so the practical reality is that an 80-foot turbine is rarely sited on a lot less than one acre.
- Stating an 80-foot maximum height in a higher-density zoning district (less than 1 acre lot size) may confuse property owners, as they may not immediately understand that setbacks and lot dimensions further limit height.
- Consider using the setback requirement as the only codified limit to turbine height. It effectively accomplishes the desired purposes of (a) scaling the turbine height to the lot area and (b) keeping taller towers further from the neighbors' land and views.
- If your community just isn't comfortable without a stated maximum height, consider using 125 feet (in addition to the setback rule). Most manufacturers' standard towers/poles for small WECS are 125 feet or smaller, so from a practical standard, few if any residential installations would be likely to exceed this height.
- Remember that increased height has an upside: It puts the turbine unit further away, reducing noise impacts at ground level.
Question from Fred Snow, Community Planner, Kennebec Valley Council of Governments, Fairfield, Maine:
Most ordinance definitions of small wind energy systems (SWES) have a maximum capacity of 100kW. A few ordinances have 10 kW as the threshold and a Massachusetts state model has threshold of 60 kW. Maine's Report of the Governor's Task Force on Wind Power Development) proposes 3 sizes: (1) Small: Up to 20 to 25 kW, which would include residences or small business; (2) Medium: 25 to 250 kW, which would include groups of homes, schools, or larger electricity users; (3) Large: 660 kW to 2 MW.
My questions are:
- Which is more useful to apply to a unified ordinance, three sizes or the more typical two classes with threshold of 100 kW?
- If three size classes were applied to a unified ordinance, what performance standards should differ and how should they differ according to each class?
Answer from author Erica Heller:
In answer to your first question, I believe the two-tiered approach is most common. The wind industry defines "small" wind energy conservation systems (WECS) as anything less than 100 kW, and many regulations follow suit. However, this definition includes a wide range of power output and size. Thus, some state and local ordinances define a third "very small" type to be allowed in more densely developed or sensitive areas, which in my experience is most often a residential-scale turbine definition with a maximum output of 10 kW.
Let's put these definitions in context: A 10 kW-rated WECS working at just 50 percent capacity only 40 percent of the year would produce about double the national average household energy use. Most homeowners install smaller, more cost effective turbines. A well-sited 2 kW capacity turbine can readily offset typical household electricity use. A commercial or agricultural user may use enough energy to install a turbine of 10 to 20 kW capacity.
In most cases, a third-tier definition is not necessary because turbine cost and state net metering laws result in the desired outcome of scaling turbine output to match the use being served. Turbines are expensive. It is simply not cost effective for a property owner to invest in a turbine with more energy capacity than will be used on site. Also, utilities generally won't buy back energy above what is used on site each year, and so provide no financial reason to generate extra energy. Thus, those that invest in the larger "small" turbines are typically heavy energy users such as factories, large campuses, or similar uses, not homes or small businesses.
Despite this general rule, a community may have a locally specific reason to specifically restrict even heavy energy users to "very small" turbines in certain locations. Another common reason for defining a third tier of turbines is that because it is concrete and easy to understand, it may give citizens and elected officials a greater level of comfort than the economic rationale. My own bias is not to add regulatory text if the anticipated outcome is the same without adding it, but if including a third-tier definition is needed to gain support for a WECS ordinance, go ahead and add it!
In answer to your second question, large WECS require additional performance standards beyond those for small WECS, which is why they are outside the scope of this article. Consult large wind resources such as those on the American Wind Energy Association and Wind Powering America websites and state model ordinances that address large wind such from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and as a starting point for information on large wind.
Performance standards should remain relatively constant between "small" and "very small" WECS. For, potential nuisance impacts such as noise or safety, and basic appearance considerations such as lighting and signage should be limited at the turbine owner's property lines. Also see the questions above for related discussion.
Question from Dave Dietrich, AICP, Planning Director, Geauga County, Ohio, and Stephanie E. Ashe, Historic Preservation Planner, Economic and Urban Development, City of Decatur, Illinois:
I'm wondering if you could suggest a few zoning ordinances from other municipalities for examination. Thanks.
Answer from author Erica Heller:
I suggest caution when looking at other local WECS ordinances. Many include inappropriate requirements for small WECS that are based on standards for wind farms, while many others limit height much too strictly. Page 4 of the Zoning Practice article contains a list of urban and suburban communities whose small WECS provisions are consistent with many of the recommendations in the article. The WECS regulations can be accessed online from the listed websites. To round out the list, here are a few additional suggestions:
- The Town of Nevada, Indiana, allows small WECS by right in the industrial districts and by special use permit in all other districts, subject to performance standards. WECS are exempt from the general height restricts of the zone districts, but height is limited through a use standard. www.ci.nevada.ia.us
- The Camden County, North Carolina, wind ordinance setbacks are based on the height of the WECS. Smaller setbacks are allowed with a wind easement from an adjacent property owner. Permits for large WECS require an acoustical study, but not for small WECS. www.camdencountync.gov/
- The planning department in Anchorage, Alaska, is in the midst of writing a WECS ordinance. The draft document does not appear to be available online as of this writing, but is a very strong example.
To find ordinances from communities in your state: (1) Google "wind ordinance" and the name of your state. In most states, this will bring up news articles and meeting records from communities addressing WECS; or (2) contact the state agency of energy or environment that deals with alternative energy and ask if they know of communities that have enacted a WECS ordinance. You may be able to get the local ordinance online or may need to contact the locality for a copy — the latter gives you a chance to ask about their first-hand experience.
Question from Walter Wehenkel, Ottawa County, Ohio:
Are there permits or authorizations required from agencies like the U.S. Fish & Wildlife in areas where wind turbines are proposed to be located in the areas of flight paths for migratory birds and eagles?
Answer from author Erica Heller:
No, agencies such as the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Department do not require permits for small wind conservation energy systems (WECS) (except on publicly owned land, in which case the controlling agency would have to approve the installation). Documented avian impacts of the Altamont wind farm in California, which is located in a major raptor migration corridor, raised concerns about how turbines interact with birds. Subsequent studies found that on average, a small WECS kills fewer birds annually than housecats or sliding glass doors. Even the Audubon Society has weighed in and supports well-sited wind turbines of all sizes. In general then, small WECS should not be excluded from areas with birds any more than should cats or glass doors.
If critically endangered bird species frequent your areas, very small population losses may be of concern. If so, you may want to consult with wildlife agencies and consider extra protection based on the attributes or habitat of the sensitive population. For example, if the endangered species are birds of prey, you may want to discourage a single property from hosting both a WECS and another land use that attracts or supports high numbers of rodents (e.g., grain crops or a landfill), as rodents are an attractive food source for these birds.
Question from Matthew T. Neeb, Senior Planner, Monroe County Planning Commission, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania:
Monroe County is currently in the process in developing a small wind energy conversion system model ordinance at the request of several municipalities. The state of Pennsylvania has two model ordinances regarding wind energy conversion systems (WECS), but these ordinances seem to address only large wind farms. We have reviewed wind maps that indicate that Monroe County has a variety of different average wind speeds, some of which appear to be adequate for small WECS.
- Could you please direct me to a few model ordinances regarding small WECS?
- Should provisions for small WECS be stand alone or should they be incorporated in both the zoning, and subdivision and land development ordinances?
- If you have any additional information regarding small WECS, it would be greatly appreciated. As you may know, including provisions for wind energy isn't easy.
Answer from author Erica Heller:
Large-scale wind maps are a great resource if you are deciding whether to make the effort to adopt a WECS ordinance. They are available from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy, including on the Wind Powering America website (www.eere.energy.gov/windandhydro/windpoweringamerica/wind_maps.asp). Some states have more detailed maps as well. As a rule, Class 2 or above is adequate for small WECS, while Class 3 is minimum (and Class 4 or 5 more typical) for wind farms. However, so many factors can create micro-conditions that alter wind on a site-by-site basis that the maps tell very little about whether the wind resource on a specific parcel will power a small WECS. It's best to draft a WECS ordinance to apply broadly, and leave it to the individual property owner to assess whether her site-specific wind resource is adequate.
Several state model ordinances address small wind separately from large wind. The draft Wisconsin and the Michigan model codes are examples that include standards specifically for small WECSs. American Wind Energy Association is drafting a small wind guidebook and model ordinance forthcoming in September 2008.
Either a stand-alone ordinance or standards integrated into the development code can be effective. My own preference, as a planning and zoning consultant, is the latter. I think it is more readily apparent and clearer to the average code user when she can quickly see that small WECS are listed with other allowed accessory uses, as an example. Similarly, when WECS are in the code, they can be listed in the exceptions to general height limitations, clarifying the meaning of any conflicting provisions.
I suggest you review the resources on page 6 of the article. The websites noted in Daniel Green's question below and the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind Powering America website (www.eere.energy.gov/windandhydro/windpoweringamerica/ ) are also excellent.
Questions from Daniel Green, Land Use Project Manager, Latham & Watkins, LLP, Los Angeles, California, and Ernie Monaco:
What is the approximate range of costs to install wind turbines on a "typical" single-family dwelling, apartment building, or office building? What is the typical savings per year in utility bills?
Are there small WECS available in the states that are quiet and nonobtrusive that you can recommend for a house? What companies are now offering these?
Answer from author Erica Heller:
As a land-use planner, my expertise is on the regulatory aspects of WECS, not installation. However, I hope the following resources and information will be helpful to those interested in installation.
In answer to the first question, it is very difficult to state "typical" cost and savings of WECS because there are so many variables. On the installation side, a big cost component is local permitting fees, which range from very reasonable (several hundred dollars) to quite expensive (several thousand dollars). Utility savings depend on the rates you pay and on whether your utility pays wholesale or retail rates for the energy the turbine generates, which varies from state to state. A strong net-metering law increases the potential savings. Potential savings and pay-back times for the investment also depend on energy production, which depends on the site-specific wind resource and factors such as local height limits that may keep the turbine from reaching optimal wind.
The American Wind Energy Association (www.awea.org) provides the following information on cost and pay-back times in their small wind FAQs:
How much does a small wind system cost?
Small wind energy systems cost from $3,000 to $5,000 for every kilowatt of generating capacity, or about $40,000 for a 10-kW system (installed). This is much cheaper than solar systems, but the payback period can still be lengthy – as little as six but up to 30 years. That's why it's important to take advantage of rebates or tax credits available for small wind system installations. Well-sited small wind turbines can usually pay for themselves within 15 years, about half their serviceable lifetime, if the right incentives are applied.
As part of its small wind tool kit, American Wind Energy Association has an online database of state-by-state information on small wind energy regulations and incentives. (See link below.)
In answer to the second question, many U.S. companies now offer small, quiet models of turbines that are appropriate for residential use, including rooftop models. Recent studies in the U.K. show that the performance of rooftop models is generally poor due to wind turbulence. However, in some places, such as along shorelines, good wind may be available at rooftop height. What will work best for your need depends greatly on factors that are site-specific that will drive the selection of specific model or manufacturer. Start with some of the readily available on-line resources. Next, a local distributor or installer that carries several models and can help you understand the pros and cons of each model for your need.
There is a great deal of useful information online. Three such resources include:
- American Wind Energy Association (www.awea.org/smallwind/) offers a small wind tool kit that includes how-to information, success stories, a list of "commercially proven" (their term) equipment providers, frequently asked questions, and more. Also part of the toolkit is an online database of state-by-state information on small wind energy regulations and incentives.
- The National Renewable Energy Laboratory offers a well-regarded "Small Wind Buyer's Guide." www.nrel.gov/docs/fy07osti/42005.pdf
- International Renewable Energy Council (www.irecusa.org/index.php?id=73) also offers buyer's guide to small turbines, including state-specific information.


text: Can someone please email me the GPX from the D37 dual sport ride in Beaumont, Ca. last weekend? I live in Redlands, wanted to ride the legal stuff out of Beaumont, and have always wondered where this annual ride went. If you don't want to give me the GPX from yesterday, I'm happy to have one from 09 or 08. I just need a couple of points to key off of. email: firstname.lastname@example.com
