The Bookmarked series, in case you were wondering, is a new line of books from IG Publishing in which lesser-known authors meditate on the impact that various works of literature by better-known authors have had an impact on their lives. Tackling Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five in the second volume of the series, Curtis Smith takes a cue from the subject of his investigation and offers what might best be termed an "unstuck in time" reading of the novel. Bouncing from point to point and theme to theme throughout Vonnegut's novel gives Smith the opportunity to touche on a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) Ayn Rand, Genghis Khan, SpongeBob SquarePants, PTSD, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and the ancient Stoic theory of Ekpyrosis, which holds that the universe is destined to be consumed in flames only to recreate itself from the ashes. Yet even as Smith's musings careen from one topic to the next, he never loses sight of the thread that holds them all together. Indeed, if the central question of Vonnegut's novel was how to write about a massacre, the central question of Smith's extended essay is how to write about a book about a massacre. The big difference, of course, is that where Vonnegut could only conclude that there's nothing sensible to say about a massacre — nothing, that is, beyond the plaintive Poo-tee-weet? of singing birds — Smith finds that there's plenty to say not only about Vonnegut's novel in particular, but also about writing in general, and its place in our efforts to make sense of the chaotic world around us. We are capable of great savagery, it turns out, but our saving grace is that we're ultimately a kind, compassionate, caring species. So, yes, we are doomed time and again to witness and sadly participate in conflagrations large and small, but we're also party to the kindness and curiosity that allow for new life to emerge from the destruction we wreak. In this engaging take on Vonnegut's classic anti-iceberg novel, Smith comes down solidly on the side of humanity, for better and for worse.
book reviews
Contemporary Krampus
If you're looking for a somewhat off-the-wall gift for that special somewhat off-the-wall person on your holiday list this season, Contemporary Krampus may be exactly what you're looking for. Curated by Mike Drake, this volume offers a wide range of contemporary depictions of Krampus, the "Christmas Devil." Along with paintings and drawings that range from charming to creepy, Contemporary Krampus also includes brief bios of the artists who produced the works. While the typesetting is a little odd (with text running almost to the edge of the page) and the bios are somewhat uneven (reading like they've been taken directly from the artists' webpages without any editing), the art is what makes this volume particularly enjoyable. With that in mind, here are a few samples…
Elvis Is King: Costello's My Aim Is True
Word on the street is that Elvis Costello has a memoir due in October. For those who can't wait, there's Richard Crouse's Elvis Is King: Costello's My Aim Is True, a meticulously researched account of Costello's early years and the release of his first LP with independent label Stiff Records. Of particular interest with respect to this volume is Crouse's attention to the milieu out of which both My Aim Is True and Costello himself emerged. Indeed, the sense one gets is that Costello's identity congealed around the production and marketing of his first album in ways that few other acts ever did. "Elvis Costello," the stage name adopted fairly late in the proceedings by singer-songwriter Declan McManus, emerges as somewhat of a construct, an amalgam of various mythical figures of rock's colorful history — Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly in particular. Crouse also does an excellent job of contextualizing the album in question. Not punk by any stretch of the imagination (Costello's backing group for this project was an American country-rock band called Clover), My Aim Is True nonetheless appealed to the raw DIY aesthetic as well as the iconoclastic attitudes of the indie and punk movements of its time. Though relatively brief (and appropriately so, given its narrow focus), Elvis Is King presents a tight, thorough portrait of the musician as a young man that will appeal not only to die-hard Costello fans but rock historians in general.
Want, Wound
I've admired the work of Nicole Monaghan for a long time, so I was very excited when she asked me to provide a blurb for her first collection of fiction, Want, Wound. The blurb I provided reads, "A loving exploration of the tender corners of the human heart and the empty spaces we all long to fill." While this blurb does a decent job of capturing what Nicole does so well in all of her work, I'm not sure it does her book justice. Throughout the volume, she takes every opportunity she can to inhabit the skin of "the other." Sometimes this involves imagining what it must be like to be a man. Other times, she explores the inner world of children yearning to impress their parents or insecure teens trying to make sense of the world or adult women struggling with addictions. In every instance, Nicole come across as a true empath, an author with a preternatural ability to feel the pain and love and longing of every character she imagines. As a result, Want, Wound is a moving, touching, tiny wonder of a book.
Vs. Death Noises
In the final story of Marcus Pactor's Vs. Death Noises, a man discovers a single hair in his bathroom and obsesses over the shape it has taken. The problem, he realizes, is that geometry can't solve his conundrum because geometric definitions are "concerned with perfect impossibilities" whereas the world we live in is "a world of approximations." The human experience, in other words, only translates to "[a]pproximate forms, approximate phrasings, approximate feelings." To put it another way, we'll never communicate perfectly with one another. Something is always lost in the translation from the lived experienced to the written or spoken word no matter how hard we try. It's a theme that Pactor explores throughout this collection in a way that allows him to simultaneously explore the exquisite agony of the human condition.
Early on, this agony settles on a young woman struggling to understand her relationship with the man in her life only to discover that she's unknowable even to herself in many ways: "I could not have done anything but cling to Bander because what I have been calling mistakes were simply the motions of my love and these motions were always uncertain, no matter what smiling mask I wore." Elsewhere, it gnaws at a restaurant worker feeling remorse over an ill-fated fling with his manager: "She might try to will indifference, the same as every one of us, but my failure had nicked her heart. We all get nicked. They add up over time, and then some people lose it… and others it pills, and we tell ourselves not to care. Inside, though, we're this bubbling cauldron of fears. We cover it with a heavy pot top and forget it on the stove."
Yet if it's our tendency to bury emotions deep within ourselves that contributes the most to our inability to ourselves and each other, Pactor is doing his best to uncover the hidden emotions that make us human, to lift the heavy pot top off the human heart, as it were, and shed light on the pain and suffering that are frequently so hard to describe that language fails whenever we try to talk about them. Hence, perhaps, Pactor's fondness for the downtrodden. His characters include a starving runaway, a father and son almost wordlessly mourning the death of their wife and mother while drowning their sorrows in booze and Mel Brooks movies, and a wide range of hapless strangers trying desperately to connect with each other and the world around them.
As the stories in Vs. Death Noises all indicate, we'll never achieve geometric perfection in our efforts at connecting with each other, but Pactor's fiction offers hope that we can all find solace in trying.
Safe As Houses
I've been intrigued by the phrase "safe as houses" since I first heard it in Depeche Mode's "Never Let Me Down Again" many years ago. What, exactly, I've often wondered, is so safe about houses? Doesn't some high percentage of household injuries occur within the home? And why are so many of my best observations completely solipsistic?
In many ways, Marie-Helene Bertino's collection of short stories Safe As Houses obsesses over all of these issues with a wry blend of wit, humor, irony, magic realism, and ultimately hope. Throughout the collection, Bertino offers her readers inventive scenarios in which her characters long for the various and frequently elusive forms that the comforts of home might take. There's the young woman who loses her home in a fire and attempts to win the affections of her wayward father by buying him a dachshund with the insurance money — all while trying to avoid picking up a free ham she's won at the local grocery store. There's (How do I explain this in as few words as possible?) the estranged couple whose component members bump into each other while dating idealized versions of each other. (The story is called "The Idea of Marcel." I assigned it in my American Lit. class. Trust me… It's great!) There's the former record-keeper for a group of rebellious college superheroes who combs through memories of the best years of her life in an effort to figure out how she ended up married to a millionaire and living a beautiful but boring suburban home.
To put it simply, if you like quirky, heartfelt short stories, you'll find a lot to love in this collection. Throughout the collection, Bertino exhibits a proclivity not only for making the outlandish seem at least provisionally plausible, but also for effectively reversing that formula and making it clear that so much of what we take for meaningful and real is ultimately ephemeral. Though it would be a cliche to suggest that Safe As Houses reminds us that home is where the heart is, I'm half-tempted to say that this is the over-arching point of this collection. Yet Bertino takes that cliche and makes it new by exploring all of its implications and reminding us that home is as much a state of mind as anything else. We are all longing for home in one way or another. Though no story could ever fully satisfy that longing, Bertino's collection goes a long way toward reminding us that we're not alone in our quest.

Conquistador of the Useless
In many ways, Joshua Isard's Conquistador of the Useless offers the perfect counterpoint to Spencer Dew's Here Is How it Happens (reviewed here two weeks ago). Where Dew's protagonists are college-aged rebels doing their best to avoid making the leap to post-college mainstream society, Isard's novel finds a somewhat similar similar pair of lovers adjusting, at times uncomfortably, to a bourgeois suburban lifestyle about a decade after graduation.
The novel begins with narrator Nathan Wavelsky and his wife Lisa moving into a new home and learning upon meeting their new neighbors that the beloved music of their youth has been reduced to the status of a glorified tchotchke in the form of a Fender Jaguar signed by the members of Nirvana and mounted behind a thick pane of glass. That Nathan makes a good living as a corporate hatchet man only adds to his growing sense of ennui, and Lisa's sudden desire to start a family makes matters worse.
The problem isn't necessarily that he ever saw himself as a rebel, nor is it that he sees settling down in suburbia as a sign of giving up on his dreams. The problem, as far as he can tell, is that he never really had any big dreams to begin with — so he does what any red-blooded American would do. He goes out and gets one. Or at least he stumbles upon one when his old college buddy shows up with a scheme to climb Mount Everest. What follows is a journey of self-discovery that allows Nathan to recognize that what matters most in his life. (Hint: It has nothing to do with the mountain.)
In terms of style, Isard's writing reminds me of Shaun Haurin and Curt Smith. Like Haurin, Isard places the musical tastes of his characters front and center through much of the narrative while, like Smith, he demonstrates a firm understanding of the compromises we all make on the long, winding path to adulthood. I'd mention that Nathan's relative lack of direction and ambition echo the same traits in Charley Schwartz, the beleaguered narrator of my own novel, The Grievers, but that would be self-serving, so I'll just say that on nearly every page of Conquistador of the Useless I found something that struck a chord. I'd even be willing to bet that anyone who grew up at the tail-end of Generation X will find something to love in this book — the protagonist's angst over drifting, however late, into adulthood, his taste in music, or even his fraught-if-only-because-it's-so-damn-pleasant relationship with his parents. All told, a fine novel about settling down without settling.

They played rather well in my opinion. Could easily have won.
Paille may never score again but he played a smart game. Seguin could learn a lot from him, just not goal scoring, lol.
Marchand really screwed up that 2 on 1 at the end of the 2nd. He should have just taken off rather than wait for Paille. It only helped ATL's backcheckers get back and break up the pass. This is what I mean about lack of aggression. They need to be more hungry for the net.
Ference was good too but had his best game in TB on Tuesday. He's been playing well. Sometimes I think the people who say he's doing nothing are only looking for goals.
PK was weak because the forwards were not covering the points close enough. If they had then Enstrom likely would not have gotten two. He, Byfuglien and Bogosian(sp) were too open. Forwards collapsing way too deep. Didn't help that ATL would switch to the umbrella formation and throw the killers off. Bruins were not ready. I'm wondering what Julien's strategy there was. With those backliners it only makes sense to pressure them.
All these posters thinking Horton is slacking, I think he's trying too hard. You can see him trying to be a playmaker; just go back to looking for a feed like earlier in the year. he needs to simple-up. His desire is there, confidence is not.
Nice to see the B's actually establish a forecheck. ATL's defensemen look much better on the downhill side of the redline, lol.
I'm already liking Kampfer better than Mark Stuart. With Kampfer you get rookie errors but he's not afraid to push the puck and move with the attack and he has lots of confidence. This team sooooo badly needs what he offers. Thomas can handle his rookie mistakes.

Lower Columbia won its 17th and 18th consecutive baseball games Saturday, completing a four-game NWAACC West Division series sweep of Clark College.
The Red Devils took both games of a doubleheader from Clark on Saturday 5-0 and 3-1 at Kindsfather Field.
Clark (7-13, 0-4) had 14 hits in the four games against NWAACC No. 2-ranked LCC (18-2, 4-0), and LCC pitching coach D.J. Lidyard tweeted the LCC bullpen threw just 24 pitches over four games.
Clark was held to three hits in the first game Saturday, and ended a 24-inning scoreless stretch with a run in the sixth inning of the second game.
Clark was plagued by errors with eight on Saturday after committing seven on Friday in Longview. Lower Columbia was coming off a 6-5 and 1-0 sweep of Clark on Friday.
Clark returns to NWAACC play next weekend with four games against Tacoma.

As peace returns to Kashmir, Bollywood too is returning -- with cast and crew to shoot in dream outdoor locales of the snow-filled valley -- much before almond and cherry blossoms herald spring.
Reports say at least six Bollywood film units will be arriving in the valley by March for shooting.
The first such unit to descend here is of "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani" -- with actors Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
The film, produced by Karan Johar, is being directed by Ayan Mukherji (of "Wake Up Sid" fame) and will be released in May.
After recently completing shooting in the Gulmarg ski resort where Chief Minister Omar Abdullah hosted a dinner for the cast, the unit has moved to Pahalgam.
The unit is shooting song sequences at choice Bollywood locales in the hill station such as 'Betaab Valley' (named after a 1983 film), Aru Valley and Chandanwari.
Last year, filmmaker Yash Chopra shot parts of "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" in Kashmir and Ladakh last year.
Ranbir too shot for his 2011 film "Rockstar" in snow-covered Kashmir.
Bollywood filmmakers shifted outdoor shooting schedules to foreign countries after violence erupted in Kashmir in the 1990s.
Several popular films of the 1960s and 1970s such as "Junglee", "Kashmir Ki Kali" and "Mere Sanam" were shot in Kashmir.

Hi everyone, again a long time between posts, but this time I thought I'd draw your attention to our US brethren, who have an interesting site here
which describes a number of areas of defence business areas such as Logistics, Intelligence, Secure Communications, and Situational Awareness, and describes solutions built on Microsoft technologies in those areas, and who's using them. There are pages on partners, news and events as well. Well worth a read in a quiet moment.
Talking of events, the Microsoft/MoD summit is in Main Building next week (March 1st/2nd) so I hope to see you there!
All the best

Columbia Heather Canyon Boot - Girls'View Larger Image

Contrary to what many companies seem to believe, kids are super hard on their boots. Columbia is well aware of this fact, and builds boots accordingly. The Girls' Heather Canyon Boot incorporates features that are normally only found in heavy duty adult footwear, like a nylon shank, a removable EVA footbed, and a winter-specific lug tread pattern.
- Wind- and water-resistant leather and textile upper fights off the elements

- Molded EVA footbed with durable Nylex cover for durability
- Molded nylon shank for added durability and support
- Molded Techlite material provides cushion and support in lightweight material
- Full rubber toe cap for added protection

Three NFL players traveled to El Salvador recently with Compassion International to visit poverty-stricken children, including the children they sponsor through the organization.
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Aaron Kampman (and his wife Linde) and Jaguars linebacker Russell Allen (and his wife Ali) were accompanied by Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Craig Terrill (and his wife Rachel) on the trip. They met with their sponsored children, Jonathan (10), Natalie (7) and Katherine (9), respectively.
"A lot of times here in the States I am recognized as a NFL player, and many think that gives me great value," said Kampman. "While I love the game, it is through the eyes of these Compassion children that I can see a greater value and importance for my life beyond the football field and the potential we each have to help a child." more >>

After three years of weakening support for charities, Americans indicated that they are more likely to increase donations this year, according to a study released Monday.
This is the first time since the recession began that Americans said they are more likely to increase their giving to charity than decrease their support, found the annual Dunham+Company New Year's Philanthropy Survey, conducted by Wilson Research Strategies.
Nearly 1 in 5 respondents (18 percent) said they plan to increase their giving in 2011, marking a 29 percent increase in households compared to 2010. There was a 48 percent drop in the number of households that said they plan to decrease their giving and a 20 percent jump in households that said their giving will stay the same. more >>

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Curious Newbie wants to Know: Printing Plastic Model Kits http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=25465&th=4881#msg_25465 <![CDATA[Hi there all!

 So, i found this forum totally by accident, and ended up reading up some of the thread around here. Most of all, i got curious about something that i think this might be the right audience to ask to

 So, i like to Build scale model Kits. Like these

  http://www.google.com.br/images?q=Scale%20Model%20Kits&o e=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:pt-BR:official&client=firefo x-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=pt-b r&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=897

 It's a Fun hobby and a decent time sinker.

 here is the thing though, i'm more into Gunpla.

  http://www.google.com.br/images?um=1&hl=pt-br&client =firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Apt-BR%3Aofficial&biw=12 80&bih=897&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=Gunpla&aq =f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

 Gunpla are Model Kits modeled to Robots of a Japanese Cartoon series over 30 years old, Gundam.

 I like these for the unique designs, challenge to build and playful nature, feels good to create something So impratical but at the same time, simply so cool looking.

 Now, Most Gunpla models (those on the 1/144 scale mostly) are entirely made of Plastic pieces on several colored Runners, like so

  http://www.google.com.br/images?um=1&hl=pt-br&client =firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Apt-BR%3Aofficial&biw=12 80&bih=897&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=Gunpla+Runner s&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

 These are made out of Complex designs and printed on 3d Plastic printers.

 So, just out of Curiosity, here is my question...

 Now, if someone were to Simplify the designs, make it fewer pieces (some of these are made of over 200 pieces), all in white (so you would have to paint it yourself) maybe sacrifice some mobility ... would this be a Feasible investment?

 Not just for collectors, but even as a Market, a lot of people would like to work on some inventive designs like these... but, is this practical ? Cost effective?

 One of these Kits can run you from as low as US$15 to as high as US$500

 Just wanted your own opinions over these, about your expertise and knowledge on the tech behind it

 Would it be possible for an Artist or Enthusiast to design and build their own custom models like these in a Feasible cost-sensible manner? ]]> bells 2011-03-30T21:57:10-00:00 Re: Curious Newbie wants to Know: Printing Plastic Model Kits http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=25491&th=4881#msg_25491 <![CDATA[Well, the first question from me to you is:

 do you build those plastic model kits for fun?
 or do you like the end result more?

 What i'm trying to say: why not build the entire model and print it.. no building needed.
 unless you like to build the ting from scrap.

 Then i would say, print it once and then go to a company to can replicate it with resin!]]> Jettuh 2011-03-31T13:42:57-00:00 Re: Curious Newbie wants to Know: Printing Plastic Model Kits http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=25492&th=4881#msg_25492 <![CDATA[I have done some models (check my shop here in shapeways). I am into 1/144th scale aircraft, so my models are pretty small.
 3D printing costs depend a lot on the size of your models. My 1/144th scale airplanes costs are similar to plastic kits on the same scale, maybe a little higher than injected models, but probably cheaper than resin ones. But the most important for me is the ability to model airplanes that are not available from any kit manufacturer.
 Larger scale models will cost more to 3D print, but it might still be worth if it is a very unique subject.

 Regards,
 Luis]]> glehn 2011-03-31T13:57:06-00:00 Re: Curious Newbie wants to Know: Printing Plastic Model Kits http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=25508&th=4881#msg_25508 <![CDATA[I get what you're saying. To me, the process of building one of those is trully fun and seeing the end result is just icing in the cake, 'yknow?

 My curiosity lies more on that very notion you pointed. I'm sure that if someone were to make and print entire 3d Models or just larger pieces to put together, they could get some killer details. But you would loose most of the mobility of the model.

 For example, here is a video of a review of one of those Kits i mentioned

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AamY-R-TTaQ

 A lot of moving parts, i'm guessing that plan that by yourself would be a complete pain... so maybe creating entire sections would be better? Like, a Entire hand, An entire forearm, etc...

 ]]> bells 2011-03-31T17:19:14-00:00 Re: Curious Newbie wants to Know: Printing Plastic Model Kits http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=25557&th=4881#msg_25557 <![CDATA[On a somewhat smaller scale, I do exactly this. Many of my models are transforming robot kits. They're only 56mm tall for the most part, with between 10 and 20 pieces, but they have good articulation, and, y'know, transform.
 Printing them as complete figures wouldn't be practical, but as kits, they work pretty well; you just clean the parts up, paint them, and pop 'em together. I sell them for around $20 apiece (in WSF, anyway), and people are buying them.

 It's worth experimenting with, if nothing else. But yeah, you need to consider scale. The bigger your figure is, the more material it will use, and therefore the more expensive it'll be to print. Probably the easiest way to do it would be to design a model as small as you practically can, upload it to test, then scale it up if you want it larger (it's a lot easier to scale a model up than down).]]> Drawn_Steel_Hero 2011-04-01T23:56:25-00:00

Authorities closed part of Interstate 77 in North Carolina and delayed classes on the opening day of the school year as they chased a suspect who shot at officers.
Statesville police said Tuesday they were looking for the suspect in an area near Statesville Middle School and Pressly School, which were forced to postpone opening.
The manhunt began overnight when Wilkes County sheriff's deputies tried to stop a driver who drove away from a check point near U.S. 421. The Highway Patrol pursued the driver south on I-77, closing the highway for more than an hour while troopers tried to blow out the car's tires.
Troopers say the man stopped near Statesville and ran into a wooded area while firing shots at pursing officers.

North Central College's mission to integrate sustainability into all facets of campus life reached another milestone this week with the installation of state-of-the-art, solar thermal panels to its newest residence hall.
North Central's organic community garden has a new home on Chicago Avenue. The recent move from the Loomis Street location was necessary for construction of the new Science Center.
Faculty, staff, students and community members have been caretakers of the campus's community garden since its start in 2010. They are eligible to maintain one or more of the 26 garden plots and the plots maintained by Chartwells produce fresh produce for Kaufman.
North Central College has continued to press on with its campus-wide sustainability efforts. After the third year of implementing Project Move Out from the residence halls at the end of the academic year, the College and its student residents helped contribute to the reduction of waste in landfills.
A research team of "tree geeks" spent the summer getting to know all the trees that adorn the North Central College campus. It took four weeks for them to identify all the species, measure each circumference, tag each with a number for future reference and assign GPS coordinates to the location.
North Central College has been recognized as a bronze-level institution for its commitment to adopting and fulfilling environmental goals through the Illinois Campus Sustainability Compact.
North Central College supports and encourages sustainability practices in all aspects of campus life throughout the year. Recent news include recognition for the College's food composting efforts, addition of another electric vehicle charging station and paperless efforts in the Office of Admission.
Results are in—and they're good! Project Move Out 2014 helped reduce overall waste as members of the North Central College campus community moved out of residence hall rooms, offices and more at the end of 2013-2014 academic year.
Here's the good news: • 1,000-plus lbs. of electronics, from TVs to lamps, were recycled. • 721 square feet of carpet were set aside for recycling.• 600 lbs. of food were collected and donated to Loaves & Fishes Community Pantry.
North Central College's food composting program in Kaufman Dining Hall and The Cage was featured on the front page of the June 11 Daily Herald and online with video, photos and article. The video features North Central's program, exclusively, and emphasizes its success because of the involvement and enthusiastic support by North Central College students.
For the fourth consecutive year, North Central College has been included in "The Princeton Review's Guide to 332 Green Colleges: 2014 Edition."
With a rising interest among students in attending colleges that practice, teach and support environmentally responsible choices, the guide began publication in 2010 in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council's Center for Green Schools.
North Central College invites faculty, staff, students and members of the community to join in a special celebration of Earth Day at noon, Tuesday, April 22, at Oesterle Library.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

Investing.com - Crude prices rose on Wednesday after the Federal
Reserve suggested monetary policy will remain loose for some time
to come, which offset a bearish supply report.
Low interest rates keep the greenback weak, which makes oil an
attractive buy on dollar-denominated exchanges.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate
crude for delivery in May traded at $99.18a barrel during U.S.
trading, up 0.33%. New York-traded oil futures hit a session low of
$98.36 a barrel and a high of $99.22 a barrel.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its weekly
report that U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 5.9 million barrels
in the week ended March 14, above expectations for an increase of
2.6 million barrels.
Total U.S. crude oil inventories stood at 375.9 million barrels
as of last week.
The report also showed that total motor gasoline inventories
decreased by 1.5 million barrels, in line with forecasts, while
distillate stockpiles declined by 3.1 million barrels, compared to
expectations for a withdrawal of 625,000 barrels.

The Fed earlier said it was leaving interest rates unchanged and
reduced the amount of bonds it buys each month to $55 billion from
$65 billion, both moves in line with expectations.
However, the Fed omitted previous language calling for rate hike
considerations if the unemployment rate approaches a 6.5%
threshold, a policy tool known as forward guidance.
Even though the economy is improving, a highly accommodative
monetary policy stance remains appropriate, the U.S. central bank
said, which boosted oil on sentiments that the U.S. will demand
more fuel and energy while interest rates remain low and make
commodities more attractive in dollar-denominated exchanges.
Elsewhere, on the ICE Futures Exchange in London, Brent oil
futures for May delivery were down 0.70% and trading at US$106.05 a

Posted on 12/29/2004 8:39:47 AM PST by freespirited
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A female bartender who refused to wear makeup at a Reno, Nevada, casino was not unfairly dismissed from her job, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
Darlene Jespersen, who had worked for nearly 20 years at a Harrah's Entertainment Inc casino bar in Reno, Nevada, objected to the company's revised policy that required female bartenders, but not men, to wear makeup.
A previously much-praised employee, Jespersen was fired in 2000 after the firm instituted a "Beverage Department Image Transformation" program and she sued, alleging sex discrimination.
In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling in favor of Harrah's. All three judges are males appointed by Democratic presidents.
"We have previously held that grooming and appearance standards that apply differently to women and men do not constitute discrimination on the basis of sex," Judge Wallace Tashima wrote for the majority.
He cited the precedent of a 1974 case in which the court ruled that a company can require men to have short hair but allow long hair on women.
The Lambda Legal Defense Fund, a gay rights group that backed Jespersen's suit, had argued that forcing female employees to have different standards than men was unlawful under rules, known as Title VII, against discrimination on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
The ruling found, however, that the casino's appearance standards were no more burdensome for women than for men.
In a dissenting opinion, Judge Sidney Thomas backed the reasoning of the plaintiff. "Harrah's fired Jespersen because of her failure to confirm to sex stereotypes, which is discrimination based on sex and is therefore impermissible under Title VII," he wrote.
"The distinction created by the majority opinion leaves men and women in services industries, who are more likely to be subject to policies like the Harrah's 'Personal Best' policy, without the protection that white-collar professionals receive," he wrote.
On the surface, to some, this make look like a case of discrimination but in reality it isn't. I think the court was correct in it's decision based on the fact that men and women are indeed different and holding them to different apearence standards is well within the rights of a company. For instance, the long hair and short hair ruling. Companies can and should be able to set standards of dress and apearence for their employees,it is their company and if you don't like their rules quit your job.
I was thinking Aqua Velva®, or maybe Lectric Shave®.
Or Hi Karate, if they still make it.
The term "coyote ugly" was coined to describe mornings just like that. We've all got a few in our closet; hell, for others, we are the ones in the closet.
And certainly, no pun intended.
"Who IS that on the cover of your book?" LOL!
you are easy to please, my friend.
by golly, there is 75 posts on the tsunami. Have at 'em. Cheers.

Maybe you just shouldn't start your own business!
Do you really want the government telling you how to run it?
OMG, I thought you were kidding! You really were a before and after model. That is fabulous.
I may be a model for the company, but I don't get any discounts!!!!
I do swear by the makeup though, I don't use anything else.
I think a little gender verification is in order. Go ahead, you do it. I'll witness from a safe distance.

................and we all like a cocktail waitress with tips.....................sorry!
Bartenders have tip jars too....so you were correct in assuming she'd get more tips no matter what side of the bar she was on.
Stupid men....the better a woman looks the more money they give? What losers they are. :p
Because the company changed the rules. They are allowed to do that.
Makeup would make no difference, honestly. They must have wanted to get rid of her because she's just butchy in general.
Maybe if KISS's makeup person did a job on her it would be sufficient.
As it stands now, she could play "Geddy Lee" in any Rush tribute band.
LOL yep men giving pretty wimmin stuff has been going on since the biblical times.
Beauty deserves tribute.
Same difference. When I tended bar, I always wore slacks, a white collared shirt and a vest. Kind of an old-time bartender look. Hair groomed, shoes shined, cleanly shaven. You can make a fortune off tips that way. Except in college bars. College kids don't tip, no matter what.
That explains the gay rights legal team.
"Bartenders have tip jars too....so you were correct in assuming she'd get more tips no matter what side of the bar she was on.
Stupid men....the better a woman looks the more money they give? "
Not this man. I tip based on service, not the appearance of the server. All a bartender has to do to get a good tip from me is make my darned drink right and not ignore me when my glass is empty.
I had been wondering about that stuff as well. I was pretty amazed at the tv commericals, but still skeptical (it is TV, afer all, lol).
Thanks to your own experiences, though, I think I may have to take the plunge and get some as well. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to earth.
It's dumb, but true. I had some guy tip me $20 once because he liked the color of my hair. (Red) Stone sober, he was, and refused to take the money back.
He was a Hispanic gentleman, and wasn't trying to pick me up. A weird way to compliment me, (especially since I can't take credit for it, lol) but the thought was nice.
Except in college bars. College kids don't tip, no matter what.
Nope, and sometimes they try to pay for their drinks with change. One night, some kid did that (we're talking nickles and pennies!) and my bartender got so mad he threw the money at the wall and told him that if he had to raid the piggy bank to drink that he shouldn't even come in. It was freaky, but kinda funny.
College kids generally have to raid the piggy bank for virtually every expenditure.
I know. That's what was so freaky about his blow-up. It was funny to me because this was our most level-headed bartender, but the night was so crazy-busy it got to him.
I'd never seen him lose it like that.
It doesn't matter if they didn't have the policy for 50 years. They have it now. At my work, I am required to dress a specific way. If I do not (or refuse) I am not complying with company policy. I could be fired. They can change whatever policy they want. I can either conform, or I can find another job.
Should the court be able to force you to hire a waitress or bartender?
Lighten up...don't like the thread, bypass...
Lol, no of course it wouldn't matter. As far as I know, wearing make up doesn't improve your job skills.
Thinking about it, I recall older cocktail servers who took care of slot machine players that were perhaps around this woman's age. They wore sensible heels and more modest skirt lengths. Of course this was on the Vegas strip many years ago ;-)
Are you the one before or after? :)
This is true. I also agree that this case doesn't fit my criteria of discrimination. However, this woman worked for Harrah's for 21 years. Then Harrah's changed the standards. She obviously knew her job and was an employee in good standing.
Whatever is going on, I don't like it. I bear no resemblance to this woman, but I don't wear make up anymore, and would resent the hell out of a new edict from my employer ordering me to paint myself up.
Relax. We need a little distraction.
Conditions change. They changed the standards for everyone. There is an old business saying, "Adapt or die." She chose to terminate herself as far as employment is concerned.
I was before and now I am after.
The article has a more flattering pic of her than the previously posted ones. She looks like she'd be more at home on the range, than the cosmetics aisle at Rite-Aid :-( Ruddy complexion. I can just see this woman gamely applying BLUSH. Lipstick is trial and error, but if they could have let her slide with a natural tinted lip gloss, maybe we wouldn't be here discussing it. Btw, powder after a certain age is a disaster. It lands in lines you never knew you had. This is the first "manly woman" that I have ever defended.
There are also "grandfather clauses". I wonder if they have ordered older men to start using Grecian Formula, or lose their jobs?
Don't mean to be crabby, but I've always held on to the belief that your commitment to hard work, dedication, and loyalty should supercede the "eye candy" factor. My bad....
Haven't got enough liver for that.
I read nothing about coloring your hair, only that the employees had to be well groomed with basic standards that are normal for most people. She sounds like someone who wanted to cause an accident. She succeeded. I hope she pays every penny in court costs.
Personal best would cover coloring your gray hair. I don't think she was one to cause a fuss, because they employed her for 21 years. If you were in a situation where your employer decided to mandate changes that you weren't comfortable with (I have no examples to cite-just use your imagination), wouldn't you kick up a fuss? Me? I'm an asshole and I'd show up looking like Zsa Zsa Gabor. Hey, they told me to wear makeup.
Seriously, the fair thing would be to "grandfather" the established employees who give good service, while holding the new hires to the new standards. 21 yrs=4 yrs until retirement? Hmmmm....
I could be the after before I was the before.
...sure...she's not photogenic...but have any of you guys taken a look at your waistlines, receding hairlines,(and where the hair went) your ears lately?
The woman does not look like a heterosexual dream date. She's been a good employee for, again, 21 years...
No, personal best does not mean coloring your hair. She was a trouble maker, as evidenced by her lawsuit and refusing to take the job. She thought she was going to hold up Harrah's. I hope it costs her big time as an example to others. Everyone should brush their teeth before they show up at work.

I am a pen and pencil connesieur (that's admirer and collector for those in Rio-Linda). Parker has been one of my favorites for years. Their quality has not fallen down from its original peak in my opinion. Their writing instruments are tough, beautiful, and reliable. You can't ask for more than that. For this style, the only improvement I would consider would be a lower barrel that is less slippery.
- How accurate was the sizing? very accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. This pencil uses Parker's twist-to-advance lead system, which, if you're used to the push button at the top of the pencil, takes some getting used to, but I had no trouble. The amount of lead that is advanced is appropriate with each twist of the barrel. The pencil weighs more than most, which I think is good. There's lots of metal which adds value and durability as well as beauty.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
I purchased this pencil because I really liked what it looked, besides it's from Parker. The quality of the material is very good but it is very slippery to hold due to the shiny stainless steel part. It is also very big, uncomfortable to write. You have to twist with both hands to get the led out, it is inefficient. If you just want to keep this as your collection, it is a very nice and good quality made. But if you want to use this pencil daily, I would recommend Bic pencil is even more comfortable to write.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very Nice but Uncomfortable to Write
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No. It has scratch.
This is a well balanced writing tool. It is the largest mechanical pencil I have ever used, but the feel is good and it writes smoothly. I am very pleased with this one.
- How accurate was the sizing? accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
The Parker urban pencil is a quality writing implement. It is on the heavy side and can feel akward if you set it down and pick up several times between uses. I think the quality is on par with my Cross pencil with the exception of the eraser. The first use of the eraser broke it off at the metal holder and made it difficult to remove the remaining portion of the eraser. I replaced with the pentel grey erasers and it has been fine since.
- Did the product fit true to size? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? The overall quality is good that being said the eraser is cheap and broke off the first time I used it.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes

Can You Spot the Mistakes in the Following Email?
Valued business manager, we have obtained several complaints through the Better Business Bureau online complaint center regarding several unauthorized transaction from a number of private bank accounts to your corporate account. You can view the complaints in our online complaint center using the following link: (SCAM LINK DELETED)
The BBB Complaint Center

The Better Business Bureau acts as an intermediary between US and Canadian consumers and business, and assists in mitigating consumer-related issues as an impartial third-party service. In special cases The Better Business Bureau has the right to initiate a formal investigation of a business involved in feedback.
Dispute Resolution Officer. Daquan Morris
Council of Better Business Bureaus
3033 Wilson Blvd, Suite 600
What's Wrong With This Message? Plenty.
First, the Council of Better Business Bureaus does not process ordinary complaints. They do run BBB AUTO LINE, which handles new car warranty and "lemon law" disputes—again for new cars—with major automobile manufacturers. They're also involved in national advertising review—not complaints.
Second, each of our 116 BBBs handles complaints for local businesses. So if your business is located in Spokane, you will only receive complaints from the BBB serving Eastern Washington, North Idaho, and Montana. If your business operates out of Seattle, you will only receive complaints from the BBB serving Western Washington, Alaska, and Oregon.
Third, you would receive each complaint separately, not all in a wad.
Fourth, the sentence "In special cases The Better Business Bureau has the right to initiate a formal investigation of a business involved in feedback" is pure garbage.
The BBB is not a regulatory or legal body. We don't "investigate" businesses that consumers complain about. (But we do investigate scams like this one.) We don't automatically assume you did something wrong if you get a complaint. The BBB acts as a neutral third-party to try and resolve disputed issues. And there are at least two sides to every issue.
Fifth: Note the English language mistakes in this email. First, who addresses people as "Valued business owner?" Anyway the B and the O should be in caps. In the final paragraph, the "The" preceding Better Business Bureau should not be capitalized. And "involved in feedback"? Nice try, scammers, but not accurate.
If you receive a communication designed to make you panic, STOP. Do not click any links. Take a moment to breathe. Then pick up the phone and dial a legitimate number for your local BBB office. We'll tell you if it's a scam.

Creating a Human Tumor Micro-environment with Embryonic Stem Cells
Cancer trails only cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of mortality in the US. Except for some germ cell cancers, leukemias and lymphomas, once a cancer has spread it generally becomes an incurable disease. Although currently available therapies can produce shrinkage in many types of tumors, these effects are transient and the vast majority of people with disease that has spread from the original tumor succumb to their cancer. It is clear that new approaches are needed to treat these diseases. Laboratories have begun to apply the principles of stem cell biology to understand the biology of the cancer cells found in solid tumors. Recently, it has been found that in tumors arising in the breast, colon, pancreas and head and neck, only a subset of the cancer cells, called cancer stem cells, can establish tumors in a immunodeficient mice. These cancer stem cells are responsible for the growth and spread of the tumor and ultimately for a patient's death. The ability to prospectively identify tumorigenic cancer cells isolated directly from a patient's tumor will facilitate the identification of pathways that regulate their growth and survival in patients. Since these cells drive tumor development, targeting them will lead to more effective therapies. The goal of this grant is to develop model systems and a reagent base so we can identify new therapeutic targets to eliminate these cancer stem cells.
This grant has great potential to benefit the people of California. Accomplishing the goals of this proposal could lead to new treatments for cancers that originate in epithelial organs such as the breast and colon. Such tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Furthermore, these cancers and their treatments lead to much pain and suffering that may be alleviated by better treatment options. Current therapies for localized cancers of the breast and colon often include chemotherapy and radiation. Both of these treatment modalities cause many serious side-effects including pain, fatigue, occasional disfigurement and sometimes even death. Furthermore, these modalities are only modestly effective for treating early stage cancer, and have only a minimal impact on survival for patients whose cancer has spread from the site of origin. This proposal has the potential to identify new therapeutic targets for drugs that are more effective and less toxic. Secondarily, this proposal should have economic benefits. Improvements in cancer therapies will result in less work loss by affected individuals. Finally, the identification of more effective cancer therapeutic targets and improved models for testing them will lead to new employment opportunities for the people of the state.

"One of Italy's undiscovered gems" Top 5 Page for this destination Catania by baronedivandastad
Catania Travel Guide: 338 reviews and 843 photos
It's far away from the main tourist routes but it's near everything. Half an hour from Southern Italy's tallest mountain (the still very active volcano Etna) and a short shot from some of the best beaches and cliffs of Sicily, Catania truly has everything. The food is fantastic, the climate is excellent, people are very friendly (at least they are once you break the ice) and its late baroque city centre is one of the finest I've seen. My expectations were really low when I got there (and were reinforced after seeing the airport, a real disaster) but I'm now definitely in love with this city and everything it has.
I come to Catania at least once a month for business reasons. The city bet a lot on steel and heavy industry during the seventies and eighties. The results of this ill choice can be easily seen in the crumbling factories that populate a large part of the "Zona Industriale", the industrial campus that was built in the meadow just behind the airport.
However, largely thanks to investments by ST microelectronics, the city is seeing a new light these days, and a new high-tech center was born on the ashes of the steel factories.
Working in Catania is excellent. Despite stereotypes, Sicilians are hard-working types who put the maximum effort in achieving their objectives.
Also, the city is easy enough to navigate, especially if you move outside the rush hour, and provides for plenty of opportunities to break a long working day with a relaxing night.
Its airport is very well connected to the two main hubs of Italy (Rome and Milan), and hopes flourish that it will even start functioning well after the neverending enlargement that it seems to be undergoing.
- Pros:It's got something for everyone.
- Cons:Awful airport (hopefully the ongoing renovation will improve it)
- In a nutshell:Sicilian style

Avevo 7 anni la prima volta al Gardini Bellini. Il mio primo viaggio, e come un primo e vero amore, i ricordi sono rimasti incantati nel mio cuore. Catania e' come una fiamma, un cuore che batte per amore e grinta per la vita, un mio piccolo grande amore
I don't know if I will get to catania, but if I do I know which hotel to stay at. (The one with the red-haired barman.)
Good tips. Well, Catania was not my favourite place in Sicilly, to be honest but worth a visit. I escaped from Catania to Malta.

Sleek, and very easy to work around. Thumbscrews are nice and I love how the drive bays are tool-less!
Nice case, plenty of space.
A great budget case, lacks inserts for cable management, not much room behind the back panel. Has a limited amount of drive cages, easy to connect the front IO ports.
Love it, mid tower, clean design good air flow as the hard drive bays and CD ROM, fan controller bays have nothing between them so your front fan hits the GPU and mobo. The price is unbeatable for the case. Only downside is no window. I may cut one out.
Good case, good airflow, but lack of any premium features was a sticking point.
I love the clean Corsair look it gives off and not at a terrible price. The inside is very clean and easy to do some cable managing. Very nice case.
Absolutely amazing case for the money! Very stable, metal, LOTS of room which is perfect for a first time builder.
Very sleek, made of metal and has everything you need including front USB 3 ports. The fans are a bit loud but overall a very good case.
Pretty good case. It was a little large for my components but that was my own fault. It has plenty of 3.5" bays and three 5.25" bays which is great. There was enough room for cable management and some well placed cutouts for routing.
While I do regret spending $44 on the case because I just now realized I'm going to be getting a different case in a month or less, it has been a good case, it has room in the back to hide all of the unused cables, my only complaint is the front intake, its nearly impossible to clean it without using compressed air, I have to use a cotton swab to get into each hole and it takes forever to do.

Are you looking to catch redfish, speckled trout, alligator gar, black drum, flounder and more?
Visit Port Sulphur and you too can experience the same fishing that our very own Black and Gold encountered along with Captain Jeremy and crew.
Most recently, Saints quarterbacks Drew Brees, Luke McCown, Logan Kilgore and Ryan Griffin enjoyed the friendly competition of bowfishing from our airboat.
They were determined not to return to the dock until the ice chest was filled, and they had a blast getting down and dirty!
We came close to needing a fourth quarter "Hail Mary," but at the end of the night, it was Drew who was our good luck charm.
We can give your group the same fun and exciting adventure that Drew Brees and his teammates experienced.
Call us at (504) 269-3474 (BOW-FISH) to set up your next adventure.
"Guaranteed to go home smelling like fish!!"
If you enjoy any aspect of the outdoors, then you have come to the right place to experience the night of a lifetime! Whether you are an avid outdoorsman or have no experience at all, bowfishing is something all ages will love. It combines the best of both hunting and fishing by merging the skill of archery with the thrill of fishing while providing non-stop, heart-pounding action.
We use a compound bow with specially designed reels and line. The fish are shot with the arrow and then reeled in. Simply put, bowfishing is fishing with a bow and arrow. The evening begins with a breathtaking airboat ride through the Louisiana marsh, which will captivate the heart of any nature lover and is in itself an experience to remember.
As night befalls and we stop the boat to turn on the halogen deck lights, the mystique of the marsh comes alive. Fish appear everywhere in the surrounding waters and the fun begins. We will give you a quick lesson on the techniques used to shoot accurately and then the action begins! The deckhand will hand you your drinks, clear your line, and anything else you may need so you can focus your attention on fishing. Bowfishing brings fishing to a whole new level, as the fisherman is now more involved rather than quietly waiting for a fish to bite.
We generally fish the Port Sulphur Marsh in Plaquemines Parish. The only items you are required to supply are drinks, snacks and an ice chest.
Our airboats can accommodate up to 6 people so this adventure is perfect for a small group or family outing. Multiple boats for larger groups such as bachelor parties or corporate events are available upon request.
