I measure every Grief I meet
by Emily Dickinson
I measure every Grief I meet Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
I could not tell the Date of Mine—
It feels so old a pain— (7-8)
In these lines, the speaker captures the way that grief can feel like it has lasted a lifetime. It seems like her suffering wasn't brought about by some event—it's more like depression, or some internal emotional problem that's hard to pin down.
Quote #2
I wonder if it hurts to live—
And if They have to try— (9-10)
Hmm. Could the speaker be projecting here? It sure sounds like it. Of course it's couched in speculative language—she wonders—but Shmoop can't help but wonder if she isn't talking about herself here. Does she have to try?
Quote #3
I wonder if when Years have piled—
Some Thousands—on the Harm— (17-18)
Here the speaker uses time to describe what extreme suffering feels like. While the poem began with diction suggesting precision and exactness, it ends up using hyperbole to express what suffering feels like to the person experiencing it. So the poem is less concerned with a scientific approach to sadness, but more an emotional, exaggerated account of what it feels like.

Now as far as the Melo line goes, how do you view the progression it's had from when you were working on its start to where he's at now with the M10 about to release?
I think it's gone well. Justin Taylor, he's taken over. He took over on the M6. I did 1-5. So we had the 1.5-5.5, and then we switched to the M series. The M series started at 3 and I stopped at the M5. During that transition, Justin Taylor started working with Melo so we could just transition easily. I knew I was going to leave and I wanted that transition to be smooth. I just didn't want to show up one day and say I was out. Melo would have to work with somebody new, so there was a transition period, and JT did a great job. What he's been able to do is kind of mirror Melo's game. As his game matured, the shoes had to mature. Melo's taste for the footwear had to mature as well. The first five were a lot cleaner silhouettes, they were focused on keeping the technology, like most Jordan products we used to do, internally based.
How was sneaker design different between Jordan Brand and Nike back then?
When I was a design director at Jordan, we didn't really show the technology. That was what Nike did. That was our way of really separating the two brands. You could feel the technology, you could experience it. We didn't broadcast it the way Nike did. I think Justin has done a good job of transitioning--keeping some of those hidden elements but yet bringing some more of that. JT has done a great job with that as he's done with 6-9 and then Tinker [Hatfield] is doing the M10. JT did a good job of evolving Melo's sneaker game with his physical game and the way that he plays on court.
When I was a design director at Jordan, we didn't really show the technology. That was what Nike did.
Now as far as your own career, you started Pensole in 2011. How has that experience been for you? I'm sure some people would think you're crazy to walk away from what you were doing at Jordan brand but it seems like Pensole was a natural progression of what you wanted to do with your career.
Man it's been going amazing. I actually did the first pilot class in the summer of 2010 when I was still at Jordan. I did it during my break, I had taken eight weeks off for vacation. I just wanted to test out this concept that I had been wanting to do for a while. When I started working with Melo, I started showing him different design things. I was showing him how to use illustrator He was coloring up his own shoes at one point, too. I remember I was interviewing him and one of the questions they asked me to ask him was, if he wasn't playing basketball, what would he want to do. He said, he would want to be a footwear designer. That kind of sparked just him wanting to know more about the product. At the same time, I launched in 2008 a program at Nike called Future Sole where he was the face of the competition.

As you may remember, I promised to do a Black History Month post last week. We all know the big players that I could talk about in the hair game — Madame CJ Walker, Angela Davis, etc.– but I wanted to do someone that had more of an impact on my decision to go natural. The answer came to me rather quickly and requires us to take a little trip together down to BRAZIL.
Brazil is home to beautiful beaches, men in zungas, gorgeous super models, Carnival, the 2014 World Cup, the Amazon, and the largest Black population outside of Africa. Yes, even larger than the US! More people were taken as slaves to Brazil than anywhere else and as a result there continues to be a strong presence of African culture in contemporary Brazil. Within Brazil, the state of Bahia is known as the Afro-Brazilian capital of the country where most of this culture, tradition and population continues to thrive today.
It was on a trip to Bahia in 2009, that I first learned about Slave Anastasia (Escrava Anastacia si voce fala Portugues) to whom I credit with my decision to go natural. There are many different versions of the story of Anastasia, but the gist goes something like this: Anastasia was in an royal African family (most likely from Angola) and was captured in 1820 and brought to Brazil as a slave. Her beauty was great and revered by all who were in her presence. As a result of her stunning beauty many of the slave owners made sexual advances at her, but as a woman of great virtue she always refused. Finally, after being refused so many times, her masters punished her by placing an iron mask and collar on her. It was believed that the mask was encouraged by the wives and daughters of the slave owners who were jealous of her beauty. Eventually Anastasia died from gangrene and infection caused by the mask and collar.
In the version of the story that I learned about Anastasia, there was an accompanying slide show that included two images that shook me to the core and remain very vivid to me to this day. The first was an image (and I regret that I could not find it) of Anastasia before her capture and in it her hair was the largest most amazing, lush head of kinky coily hair. Something like this
And the very next image was
The transition between between the large beautifully free hair and the cropped and muzzled slave these two images shook me. It struck me that in addition to the mask and collars her masters sought to diminish her beauty by stripping her of her crown, of her hair. Then I realized that I was really doing that same thing to myself by taking great pains to straighten my hair and remove my natural kinks, coils, and crowning volume. I was losing a very unique and powerful part of my identity in this process and I knew that I had to stop. The very next day, the woman braiding my hair recommended that I go natural and I was more than happy to oblige!
Today Slave Anastasia is revered as a saint and a martyr in many of the religions in Brazil. And today, this month, and everyday moving forward, I will celebrate the history of my enslaved ancestors all over the world by wearing my hair FREE and in its natural state.

Risk Avoidance
Non-compliance exposes your company to significant business risks. Workforce Advisors Group offers engagement solutions to minimise or entirely avoid the traps and pitfalls associated with independent contracting.
Substantial Benefits
The Workforce Advisors Group engagement models offer substantial benefits for companies, over and above those regularly associated with the engagement of independent contractors.
Case Studies
Perhaps the best examples of what Workforce Advisors Group does, these case studies outline the problems faced by companies engaging contingent workers and some of the practical solutions offered.
The Problem of Independent Contracting
Many businesses seek to engage independent contractors for the substantial benefits offered by a contingent workforce, but do not consider or fully understand the risks involved if this is done improperly. If proper care is not taken in establishing a compliant engagement, both companies and individuals may be subject to additional obligations and penalties by the ATO and other statutory authorities.
Fortunately, there is a solution.
Workforce Advisors Group offers a number of contractor engagement models that not only avoid these risks, but also provide substantial benefits to both parties over and above those usually available in a contractor-client relationship.
The Workforce Advisors Group Difference
We focus on YOU
From the moment we meet or talk on the phone, you'll see that our focus is on you, on your objectives, on understanding your unique circumstances, and importantly, on delivering you the optimum solution.
Informed Decision-Making
We understand the gravity of decisions surrounding contractor compliance and restructuring, so before we even recommend you move forward with Workforce Advisors Group, we'll prepare an in-depth cost-benefit analysis for you, demonstrating all the achievable financial results.
No 'Meter Ticking'
We view all meetings with you as an investment in building a mutually beneficial relationship, so we are happy to conduct those meetings free of charge and without obligation.
Working in Partnership
You'll find we are very much hands on, always ready to provide support and practical advice throughout the change of management and implementation processes, and indeed throughout the 'life' of our relationship.
Want to know more about engaging compliant contractors?
Contact Workforce Advisors Group for a free, no-obligation discussion about your circumstances.

Why can't you queue download traffic on an interface? The reason
openbsd.org's FAQ gives is:
"Note that queueing is only useful for packets in the outbound
direction. Once a packet arrives on an interface in the inbound
direction it's already too late to queue it -- it's already consumed
network bandwidth to get to the interface that just received it. The
only solution is to enable queueing on the adjacent router or, if the
host that received the packet is acting as a router, to enable queueing
on the internal interface where packets exit the router."
But this is wrong. It's not too late to queue it; by queueing it and
dropping some packets of inbound traffic the sending host slows down
the speed at which it sends.
I'm using pf to do NAT on my box, and I can shape download traffic
using the 'queueing on the internal interface' hack; so why can't I do
it elegantly on one interface?
Shaping NAT traffic downloads works fine with this hack, but I also run
some services on the external interface. With downloads queued on the
internal interface there's no way to queue the services' download
traffic, which means an external service can hog up all the bandwidth
and I can't do anything.
I know this is possible because IPFW with dummynet doesn't have any
problems. If everyone loves PF because of its elegance why can't it do
something as simple as queue download traffic?

MS phone being made now at Flextronics
Promised debut 'soon'
REMEMBER THE MS Zune phone we were talking about earlier? Remember how it didn't show up at 3GSM like we said?
Word has leaked to the Inquirer that the phone is still a go, and design mavens everywhere will be glad to know that the people who brought you the chocolate Zune are going to do a phone.
Iphones are going to become obsolete, and large, square, heat-shielded, and heavily-reinforced pockets will be coming back into style.
Unless MS planned to show only a buggy far future OS at the 3GSM keynote, one could conclude that it missed its production date. If you also knew that for the last week or so, Flextronics has been building a prototype run of about 2,500 units, that would be a bit more evidence.
Toss in that Nvidia IR has been privately and separately bragging to analysts that they are going to show something big at CTIA Wireless 2009 tomorrow, and you have a match. There you go, all the market-storming power of a Zune, coupled with the tight power control and reliability of an Nvidia part, and you have a winner. Oh yeah, we hear that the odds are good LG will be involved too.
I can't wait, if I was at the show, I could sleep in the morning of that keynote. µ

This article presents results from a parallel sort-last implementation generated by the Scalable Rendering project at Sandia National Laboratories. Our sort-last library (libpglc) can be linked to an existing parallel application to achieve high rendering rates. The performance tests were ran on a 64-node PC cluster populated with commodity graphics cards. Applications using libpglc have demonstrated rendering performance of 300 million polygons per second, which is about two orders of magnitude greater than the performance on a SGI Infinite Reality system for similar applications.

The Night Halloween took over the World.
Drac Von Stoller
Copyright 2012 by: Drac Von Stoller
Smashwords Edition
It was Halloween again, October 31st, just like all the Halloween's before it. But this Halloween would change the world forever.
The Devil decided to go against God's wishes of only having enough power of deceiving our way of being able to choose between good and evil.
The Devil said "Halloween Night is the only night of the year that my powers are the strongest."
As the darkness set in and the trick-or-treaters headed out of their homes to get candy, the Devil entered every trick-or-treaters mind using mental telepathy. The Devil said "Go out and fill up your sacks with all the candy it will hold, but this time you will say these words to whoever opens their door to hand out candy. Trick-r-treat! You're dead! Then look straight in their eyes and all they will see is the eyes of the devil. They will be frozen like a statue. While they are staring in a trance, pull out the butcher knife from your sack and stab them until they fall to the ground. You have twenty-four hours to kill every neighbor in your neighborhoods. When morning rises there will be millions of dead throughout the world. When I release my hold of your minds at sunrise you will be saying where was God when all this took place."
Just as the Devil commanded trick-or-treaters around the world succumbed to the Devil's power and killed every person that opened their doors to pass out candy on Halloween Night.

This documentary explores the role of Israeli and Palestinian women peace activists dealing with one of the world's oldest conflicts. For decades, women peace activists have come together in their bereavement over the loss of loved ones and to demand a better future for their children and grandchildren. There is bonding, there is friction, there are differences of opinion. But most of all it is a story about women who have hope and keep on trying to hear each other and do not give up their work for peace.

Five Broken Cameras
Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi, 2011, 94 min.
The first-ever Palestinian film to be nominated for best Documentary Feature at the Oscars, this film is a deeply personal, first-hand account of life and non-violent resistance in Bil'in, a West Bank village surrounded by Israeli settlements. Shot by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son, Gibreel, the film was co-directed by Burnat and Guy Davidi, an Israeli filmmaker. Structured in chapters around the destruction of each one of Burnat's cameras, the filmmakers' collaboration follows one family's evolution over five years of village upheaval. As the years pass in front of the camera, we witness Gibreel grow from a newborn baby into a young boy who observes the world unfolding around him with the astute powers of perception that only children possess. Burnat watches from behind the lens as olive trees are bulldozed, protests intensify and lives are lost in this cinematic diary and unparalleled record of life in the West Bank.

Land of the Settlers
Chaim Yavin, 2005, 55 min.
This documentary is Israeli television anchor Chaim Yavin's personal travelogue through the West Bank and Gaza, filmed during the Second Intifada. Shooting all of the footage by himself with a small handheld camera, the film was a daring undertaking. In addition to the personal risk involved, Yavin exposed himself to harsh criticism as a celebrated TV anchorman who took a stand against the settlers. Divided into five chapters, this film shows the realities of occupation and the toll on Israeli and Palestinian society.

The Law in These Parts
Ra'anan Alexandrovicz, 2011, 101 min.
Can a modern democracy impose a prolonged military occupation on another people while retaining its core democratic values? Since Israel conquered the territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 war, the military has imposed thousands of orders and laws, established military courts, sentenced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, enabled half a million Israeli settlers to move to the occupied territories and developed a system of long-term jurisdiction by an occupying army that is unique in the entire world. The Law In These Parts explores this story through testimonies of the military legal professionals who were the architects of the system and helped run it in its formative years.

In truth, while negotiations between Bayern and Kroos remain stagnant over the midfielder's desire to earn a yearly wage of €8 million (£6.6m) instead of the €4.5m the club have offered, persistent suggestions of a possible move to Old Trafford, with David Moyes in the stands at the Emirates last night, have always seemed far-fetched. After a night when he embellished his reputation as one of the finest midfielders in the business, Bayern must bend to accommodate his demands. As Pep Guardiola said: "Today he played on a very, very high level. We all want him to extend his contract."
The elegant yet ever dangerous Kroos was Bayern Munich's outstanding perfomer on a night when, for a second season in succession and exactly a year to the day, they outplayed Arsenal in the Champions League at Emirates Stadium. Though Arsenal's nascent dominance - which surprisingly had Bayern rocking on their heels - was ended by a red card shown to Wojciech Szczesny in the first half, Bayern's awesome display in the second must still rank amongst the most one-sided in Arsenal's recent history, even if it came against 10 men.
If there were only two goals – both assisted by Philipp Lahm, who was only marginally less effective than Kroos after being moved to a deep midfield role at the break – Bayern's complete dominance in possession made this a brutal experience for an Arsenal team that had started so encouragingly. The margin of defeat was the same as last year's 3-1 reverse, but by the end, this felt like an even more emphatic dissection. Stroking the ball around with a confidence befitting their manager, and with Arsenal having only 12% possession in the second half and completing only 38 passes, Bayern set a new Champions League record with a total pass accuracy of 94.6%.
No one made more than Kroos. A midfielder of rare talent, this was arguably the 24-year-old's seminal performance to date as he showcased his wide repertoire of skills. Inside three minutes he established his intent when his stunning 20-yard effort forced Wojciech Szczesny into a fine save.
After Arsenal had missed a penalty – Mesut Ozil's poor effort symptomatic of a careless and inattentive performance which paled in comparison to that of his colleague in the German national side – it was Kroos who opened up the Arsenal defence with a Xavi-esque dink over the top for Arjen Robben to run onto, the Dutchman drawing Szczesny, who clattered into him to earn a red card and concede a penalty which David Alaba contrived to miss.
Arsenal's cause with 10 men was doomed from its very inception. It was only a matter of time before Guardiola's side wore down the hosts with their relentless passing and probing. And on 54 minutes it was Kroos, of course, who opened up a one-goal lead, the midfielder exchanging passes with Lahm to the right and bending a remarkable first-time effort into the top corner.
Strangely enough, for a player whose proficiency from range has been long established since a loan spell with Bayer Leverkusen between 2009 and 2010, this was only Kroos's second goal for Bayern since he punched a volley into the turf and into the net in that 3-1 win at Emirates Stadium exactly a year ago. Having scored nine goals during the treble season - cruelly cut short by injury - as he performed ahead of Javi Martinez and Bastian Schweinsteiger and more as a No. 10, drifting in between the lines, under Guardiola he has dropped deeper into midfield.
A complete midfielder, Kroos, surely, is the kind player Lahm had in mind when saying in January of Bayern's multi-talented, multi-faceted team: "It's one of the main developments of recent years, with the various types of player becoming more and more similar to each other. I guess you still have central defenders and a handful of strikers with a different style of play. But full-backs, holding midfielders, inside forwards, playmakers and wide players are all extremely flexible, quick-witted, technically excellent and versatile in terms of position - myself included."
Despite his excellence across great swathes of the pitch, Kroos hasn't enjoyed untouchable status under Guardiola. Only recently Moyes was pictured attending a Bundesliga match with the player's agent and Kroos also invited speculation over his future when petulantly throwing his gloves to the ground when being substituted in a Bundesliga game against Stuttgart in January.
Guardiola, as we know, is not afraid of demonstrating his power by sacrificing big names, but Kroos is not Ronaldinho, an ageing talent he can afford to jettison to make a point; he has started 16 of 21 Bundesliga games and is the future of the Bayern midfield. Guardiola certainly spoke of Kroos in revealingly glowing terms after his luminous performance against Arsenal.
"Incredible," the Bayern manager said. "I like players like this, in such a difficult situation, in such a big game, in a stadium like this, they take the ball and play and play and play. Toni was great, with an incredible goal. I am very happy with his performance."
And Kroos did play and play and play. There was every kind of pass amid the 147 he completed: the dink for Robben to win the penalty; a lofted chip for the same man to test Szczesny with a volley off his instep; a perfectly guided through-ball on the floor for Rafinha to run on to; prods and pokes; square balls and incisive forward passes.
If his impressive, purposeful performance in the 2012 Champions League final, as Bayern were beaten at home by Chelsea, hinted at a great talent, this was that talent gloriously fulfilled; a tempo-setting but also match-defining display. Kroos deserved a second when, in injury time, his instinctive, guided shot rolled lazily against the base of the post.
To lose him would be a criminal act. Last night, Kroos proved he belongs at the heart of the best team on the planet. Manchester United, seemingly destined for the Europa League at best, must seek out other targets.

New Quiz Helps Americans Discover Their "Keep Good Going" Style
Research Reveals Four Different Approaches Americans Take to Cultivate Good in Their Lives
Quiz Offers Insight Into How You Perpetuate Goodness in Your Life And How to Do It More
When Asked To Choose The Moral of a Popular Movie to Define What is Important In Life, Largest Group Picks "It's a Wonderful Life"
NEW YORK, November 12, 2013—Although most Americans believe that being a good person is extremely important (77%), just two in five (41%) feel they're fully on the right track. How can more people feel confident that they're heading in the right direction? It starts by gaining a better understanding of how each person approaches and defines goodness in his or her own life.
The latest edition of the Keep Good Going Report from New York Life reveals four core segments of Americans based on the fundamental differences in how they identify and cultivate goodness in their lives: Good Leaders, Good Nesters, Good Workers and Good Strivers. The findings are based on an analysis of responses from more than 2,000 Americans that explores their values related to family, personal life, work and community.
The data from the report has been converted into a user-friendly online quiz, www.newyorklife.com/keepgoodgoingquiz, that allows Americans to discover their own "Keep Good Going style". Launched today, this quiz is designed to give people insight into their own approach to living a good life and how they can do even more to successfully perpetuate goodness.
"We hope Americans will use the Keep Good Going Quiz as a fun, engaging way to learn more about themselves and perhaps gain some additional awareness of what else they can do to promote goodness for themselves, their families and their loved ones," said Liz McCarthy, who leads communications at New York Life.
Defining Americans' Keep Good Going Style
Good Leaders
Twenty-six percent of Americans who participated in the Keep Good Going survey are Good Leaders. Good Leaders are keeping good going in all aspects of their lives: personal, family, work, and community. Good Leaders are generally optimists and have a firm grasp on how to be happy. They are kind, considerate and good friends to others. Good Leaders are comfortable with their financial situations, active in their community, and tend to be more politically active as well. Despite their optimism, Good Leaders express concern about the direction of society and how others are perpetuating good. But overall, individuals in this group are successfully keeping good going and serve as role models for perpetuating goodness.
Good Nesters
Twenty-four percent of Americans who participated in the Keep Good Going survey are Good Nesters. Good Nesters are focused squarely on their families. They place high importance on their relationships with their children, and so they tend to focus on promoting goodness in their own home rather than in their communities. Good Nesters are more secure financially than other segments and feel strongly that more money would not buy them more happiness. Among all four segments, they feel strongest about the statement: "What a person has is less important than who a person is." Good Nesters are generally content with their lives and try to live with great integrity.
Good Workers
Twenty-nine percent of Americans who participated in the Keep Good Going survey are Good Workers. Good Workers keep good going by focusing on work and family and strive to find balance between these two aspects of their lives. They tend to be hard-working and work-centric. They are generally positive about society and others, believing that most Americans are hard-working and that, in general, Americans have not lost track of what is important. Good Workers are the most positive segment when it comes to their beliefs about the direction of our country. At the same time, they are skeptical about whether hard work alone can help people achieve the American Dream. Good Workers who are parents recognize the importance of education for their children as one way to succeed.
Good Strivers
Twenty-one percent of Americans who participated in the Keep Good Going survey are Good Strivers. Good Strivers believe that life is not easy, and while they want to keep good going in their family, work, personal and community lives, they aren't able to focus on it because they believe it is hard in today's world. They point to their need for greater financial success to be able to perpetuate good. Good Strivers prioritize creating loving relationships with their children and believe they have strong interpersonal skills; they are polite and considerate to others and live with integrity. However, Good Strivers don't see the good they give out coming back to them in the same way. While Good Strivers admit they don't always have the most positive attitudes, they feel they approach life with a healthy level of skepticism.
"Understanding your Keep Good Going style is fun, and it can lead to greater happiness. After you take the quiz, you get simple, actionable steps you can use to perpetuate and expand the good in your life," said Christine Carter, Ph.D., sociologist, author of Raising Happiness, and independent consultant to New York Life. As part of the online quiz, Dr. Carter offers specific tips for each Keep Good Going Style.
Movie Choice Helps Define Keep Good Going Style
One of the questions on the quiz asks: "Which one of these morals, as depicted by popular movies, do you think does the best job of reminding you what's important in life?" Here is how Americans responded:
Moral: Be thankful for the life you have and live it to the fullest.
Movie: It's a Wonderful Life..............................41%
Moral: Help those in need without expecting anything in return.
Movie: Pay It Forward..............................22%
Moral: Life is short. Stop and smell the roses.
Movie: Ferris Bueller's Day Off..............................8%
Moral: Learn from your mistakes.
Movie: Groundhog Day..............................8%
Moral: Having money does not make you a good person.
Movie: Trading Places..............................8%
Moral: You don't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself.
Movie: Rudy..............................6%
Moral: Give people a chance. Don't judge based on first impressions.
Movie: Breakfast Club..............................6%
Moral: It's important to enjoy the work you do.
Movie: Office Space..............................2%
"It's A Wonderful Life, with its focus on being grateful, clearly resonates with a broad segment of Americans. This question offers quiz takers a fun way to gain insight into what they think is important in life and helps define their Keep Good Going Style. Which one would you choose?' added New York Life's Liz McCarthy.

Survey Methodology
The Keep Good Going Report survey was sponsored by New York Life and conducted online by Greenwald & Associates in August 2012 among 2,069 individuals age 21 or older.
The four Keep Good Going Style segments were determined by statistically analyzing patterns in survey participants' responses. The quiz reflects the questions that had the greatest influence on participants' segment assignment. Specific techniques included discriminant analysis and cluster analysis.

Rampart cleans runways for commercial and private airports, as well as Department of Defense air bases and naval air fields. We do this work on both a project-by-project basis and through long-term maintenance agreements. To date, we have removed runway rubber at over seventy (70) airports, including many of the nation's largest and busiest.
From repeated takeoffs and landings, airplane tire rubber accumulates on both concrete and asphalt runways, and accumulated rubber can be dangerous. Accumulation of rubber on runways reduce the friction needed to stop and can lead to dangerous landing conditions.
With our ultra high pressure water, Rampart efficiently and safely removes and vacuums away the rubber deposits (and wastewater). We do it without damaging the existing markings, lights or sealants and most important the existing surface.
When specifications call for 95% removal, we can work at rates that exceed 20,000 square feet per hour, with 100% removal the production rate is 5,000 – 10,000 square feet per hour. (With 95% removal, the friction coefficient attains 80% – 90% of the coefficient along the uncontaminated edge of the runway. 100% removal restores the original friction coefficient.)
Using our Blaster or BlasterVac trucks, we clean the cross-sectional tines or grooves in runways to insure proper drainage and minimize the likelihood of hydroplaning. During the removal process the existing runway surface is unharmed by the water jets. In case of emergencies our trucks can stop cleaning within 30 seconds and attain highway speeds like a normal truck.
With over twenty (20) years of experience cleaning runway rubber, and with the largest fleet of hydro-cleaning equipment in the world, Rampart has the capacity and the know-how do the job correctly, the first time.

Duo Restaurant Restaurant Review: In a nineteenth-century mercantile building with high ceilings, exposed-brick walls and tall windows, this neighborhood restaurant is always packed --- and always worth the wait. All of the hard surfaces make for a noisy space, better suited to a festive dinner with friends than a romantic evening. Chef Tyler Skrivanek has created a small but mighty menu full of creative comfort food, with starters like lamb tartine paired with beer mustard and pickled onions. A Berkshire pork chop, imparted with smoke, shares room on the plate with barbecue-braised summer beans and Bing cherry mustard, while buttermilk fried chicken is paired with mashed potatoes creamed with sour cream and country ham gravy. A moderately priced wine list includes many offerings by the glass, and beer aficionados can enjoy Colorado microbrews like Upslope's brown ale. Locals often drop by after dinner and grab a seat at the bar --- loosely divided from the dining room by vintage windows --- for dessert and a cup of inky espresso or a café grande spiked with Grand Marnier and a hint of chocolate. For dessert, try the apple tart with house-made vanilla bean ice cream and the frozen pistachio nougat, which is like ice cream only richer and wrapped in a thin tuile.

Record and controversies
Michael Mukasey nomination
Sen. Feinstein voted FOR the confirmation of Bush appointee Michael Mukasey as Attorney General of the U.S. on Nov. 8, 2007. Six Democrats and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) joined most Republicans in the 53-40 vote confirming Mukasey. No Republicans voted against him. Mukasey's nomination was surrounded by controversy; while he called waterboarding "repugnant," he refused to say whether it was illegal under anti-torture laws.

Electric Utility Cap and Trade Act
Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) introduced the Electric Utility Cap and Trade Act of 2007 (S.317) on January 17, 2007 to "to amend the Clean Air Act to establish a program to regulate the emission of greenhouse gases from electric utilities." It was referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.[1] The legislation would set an emissions "cap and trade" system for electric utilities.

Air pollution earmark
In July, 2007, Feinstein secured an earmark in the Interior-Environment spending bill that would provide funds for a major air-pollution reduction program in two heavily polluted areas of California: the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The earmark would specifically direct $15 million to help states and localities retrofit diesel engines. Opponents of this move argue that this money should be spread throughout the country, not just in areas that fail to meet air quality standards. S. William Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies, argued that diesel emissions pose human health threats all over the country, even in regions that are attaining federal air quality standards. Scott Gerber, a spokesman for Feinstein, argued "These are the two worst air quality districts in the nation, and it's critical that we address the air quality problems."[2]

Iraq War
Feinstein voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq in Oct. 2002.
Executive power
In July 2006, Feinstein gave her support to a bill by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) that would allow Congress to file a lawsuit to get presidential signing statements declared unconstitutional. [1]

Positions on tobacco issues
This article is part of the Tobacco portal on Sourcewatch funded from 2006 - 2009 by the American Legacy Foundation.
On July 17, 2001 Senator Feinstein wrote a scathing letter to Geoffrey C. Bible, CEO of Philip Morris (PM) about a Wall Street Journal article that appeared describing a report PM had commissioned in Czechoslovakia that concluded the Czech government derives economic benefits from tobacco products, including cost savings due to the premature deaths of smokers. Feinstein wrote,
- Phillip Morris has stepped well-past the lines of decency and demonstrated,once again, that it conducts business in a manner completely disconnected from any sense of right and wrong.[2]
Bible responded in a letter saying everyone at Philip Morris was "extremely sorry" for the report.[3]
National security and foreign policy
Closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay
In late June, 2007, Sen. Feinstein and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) began working on an amendment to the FY2008 Defense Department authorization bill that would close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.

Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act
The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act became law on November 27, 2006 upon receiving President Bush's signature. Its stated purpose is "to provide the Department of Justice the necessary authority to apprehend, prosecute, and convict individuals committing animal enterprise terror." Originally introduced by Sens. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on September 8, 2006, the bill ultimately passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and a voice vote in the House.

Digital Copyright laws
The PERFORM Act
Of those legislations to be introduced in Congress, the The PERFORM Act (S.2644) caused a shakedown in Congress especially as it brought the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) head to head with XM Satellite Radio over XM's release of Pioneer Inno, Helix, and XM2GO in a lawsuit.[1]
Introduced April 25, 2006 and reintroduced on January 25, 2007 into the Senate by Sen. Feinstein, the bill sought to protect the music industry from piracy by limiting the ability to record digital radio broadcasts. It aimed to create parity among all digital media broadcasters—satellite, cable and Internet radio service—by harmonizing rate setting standards for copyright licenses on a fair market rule under Sections 112 and 114 in the Copyright Act. According to Feinstein in a 2007 statement, "what was once a passive listening experience has turned into a forum where users can record, manipulate, collect and create personalized music libraries. As the modes of distribution change and the technologies change, so must our laws change." [2]
Specifically, addressing Section 114 of the Copyright Act it singled out satellite radio companies XM and Sirius, in which legislators and proponents of the bill argued that the issued compulsory licenses given to these companies were meant only for listening-only services, not recording. Bill proponents were concerned these portable devices allowed consumers to record, sort, and store digital broadcasts, resulting in them turning these broadcast into downloads and creating an unlicensed music library without adequately paying the artist. In this regard, they further argued that the service would bypass the marketplace.[3]
However, opponents such as the Home Recording Rights Coalition said that the legislation would stifle innovation while the Electronic Frontier Foundation argued that the bill would require DRM-laden streaming formats for satellite and digital radio stations as well as Internet webcasters.[4]
XM fired back in Congress and the courts defending its devices which were designed to comply with the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act and the 801(b) standard of the Copyright Act, which governs performance license under section 114. Under the standard, a specific formula for performance royalties is put forth taking into consideration technological contribution, capital investment, cost, risk and contribution to the opening of the new market. Both the Home Recording Rights Coalition and the Consumer Electronics Association sided with XM in the suit supporting its defense.[5]

Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act
Sen. Feinstein, along with Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) sponsored the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act of 2007, which would require senators to file their campaign finance reports electronically to the Federal Election Commission. Currently reports are disseminated in paper form often long after they are initially filed, preventing voters from obtaining financial disclosure information in a timely fashion. On April 17, 2007, Sens. Feinstein and Feingold brought the bill to the floor for a unanimous consent motion. Upon asking for unanimous consent on this seemingly non-controversial bill, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) objected to the bill for an anonymous senator from the Republican side. This anonymous objection amounted to a senator placing a "secret hold" on the bill, effectively stopping it. Despite efforts to determine who the anonymous hold was, when the Senators attempted again to bring the bill to the floor for unanimous consent, Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) registered another anonymous objection from the Republican side, blocking it again. On May 7, 2007, Sen. Feinstein sent a letter to Sen. McConnell asking for his help in passing the bill. Feinstein wrote, "I am ready to meet with [the objecting] Senators to discuss their amendments and try to address their concerns." McConnell has not publicly responded. As of yet, the bill has not been allowed to proceed.

Oil royalties
On May 18, 2006, the House of Representatives voted for an amendment offered by Reps. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) to the 2007 Department of Interior Appropriations Bill (H.R. 5386). According to a statement from Rep. Hinchey, "While the Hinchey amendment doesn't require energy companies to rework their contracts, it does bar them from receiving future contracts unless they work with the Interior Department to redo the existing contracts that contained the royalty-free clerical error, thus providing energy companies with a large incentive to rework the existing contracts."[6]
On June 29, 2006, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a similar amendment to the House language. Sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), the amendment was attached to the FY 2007 Interior Appropriations Bill.
However, the amendments sponsored in the House and Senate were never enacted because the 2007 Interior Appropriations Bill was one of nine budget bills never finally approved during the 109th Congress.[7] In early 2007, Congress passed and the President signed the Fiscal Year 2007 Joint Resolution (P.L. 110-5) providing funding for the Interior Department at its 2006 enacted level.[8]

Probes into the dismissal of U.S. attorneys
On February 27, 2007, The Hill newspaper reported that the Justice Department released to senate members, the performance evaluations of six U.S. attorneys, which further confirmed suspicions that the attorneys were asked to resign for political purposes. [4]
On February 26, 2007, Feinstein forwarded the six evaluations to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) along with a letter urging floor time for her bill, which would reverse a statutory change last year that allows the Bush administration to indefinitely install federal prosecutors without seeking Senate confirmation. [5]
Several of the fired attorneys were involved in political corruption investigations in the months before their dismissals were sought by Justice, including San Diego's Carol Lam, who secured three indictments in the investigation of former GOP Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (Calif.). Judiciary Committee Democrats had vowed to subpoena the performance evaluations if the administration did not produce copies, but the reports only heightened Feinstein's misgivings about Justice's explanation that the dismissed attorneys had performance problems. [6]
Reparations for Japanese Latin Americans
Feinstein cosponsored The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Descent Act in the 110th Congress which would establish a commission that would determine the facts and circumstances involving the relocation, internment and deportation of Japanese Latin Americans.[9]

Feinstein was born June 22, 1933 in San Francisco. She received her B.A. in history in 1955 from Stanford University. She is San Francisco's first (and to date, only) woman mayor.
In 1969, Feinstein won a position on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors which she held for nine years, becoming the first female president of the Board. During her tenure, she unsuccessfully ran for mayor of San Francisco twice, in 1971 and then in a 1975 contest for a runoff slot.
In November 1978, San Francisco mayor George Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated by a rival politician, Dan White, who had resigned from the Board of Supervisors only two weeks prior. As president of the Board of Supervisors, Feinstein automatically ascended to the mayoral position. She served out the remainder of the term and was elected in her own right in 1979 and re-elected in 1983. In 1984 she proposed banning handguns in San Francisco, and became subject to a recall attempt organized by the White Panther Party. She won the recall election and finished her second term as mayor in 1988.
In 1990 Feinstein made an unsuccessful bid for Governor of California, losing to Republican Senator Pete Wilson, who vacated his seat in the Senate to assume the governorship. In 1992, she was fined $190,000 for failure to properly report campaign contributions and expenditures associated with that campaign.[7]
In 1992, Feinstein won a special election to fill the Senate seat which became vacant in 1990 when Pete Wilson was elected governor (in an election against Feinstein). She was re-elected in 1994, again in 2000, and is running for a third full term in 2006. In 1998 and 2003, some advised her to run for governor, but she declined.
Because of her record of compromising with Republicans, Feinstein is distrusted by some on the political left. She is often labeled unfavorably by them as pro-business, as she has voted for most lawsuit reform measures and was a co-sponsor of the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. She voted for the first tax cuts in 2001 and also for the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act in 2003. Both positions were unpopular with many in her own party.
Senator Feinstein initially supported the use of military force in Iraq and recently has claimed that she was misled by President Bush on the reasons for going to war.
Feinstein is a firm supporter of capital punishment and of a constitutional amendment to ban the "desecration" of the American flag. Critics point out positions like these to indicate that she is not a "true" or "loyal" Democrat. Defenders point to her record on other issues: she voted against NAFTA (although she voted for CAFTA), the Defense of Marriage Act, school prayer, welfare reform, and the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.
She has numerous critics on the political right as well. Her support for abortion rights has earned her the ire of pro-life groups. She is also opposed by gun rights organizations.
In 1993, Feinstein, along with then-Representative Charles Schumer (D-NY), led the fight to ban many semi-automatic firearms and restrict the sale of firearm magazines deemed "assault weapons." The ban was passed as Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, Subtitle A of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. In 2004, when the ban was set to expire, Feinstein sponsored a 10-year extension of the ban as an amendment to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act; while the amendment was successfully added, the act itself failed. The act was then revived in 2005, and, despite Feinstein's best efforts, was passed without an extension of the assault weapons ban.
2006 elections
In 2006, the Republicans nominated Richard Mountjoy, and the Green Party nominated Todd Chretien to face Feinstein in her November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [8] Feinstein retained her seat.

Skill Level Beginner
Much of the art of design revolves around drawing the eye to where you want the reader to go and one of the best ways to draw the eye to the beginning of a story or a section is with a drop cap. InDesign lets you easily apply a drop cap to any paragraph and even automatically change the drop cap styling. Now the most direct path to a drop cap is the Control Panel. Let's see how it works. I'll zoom-in on this paragraph and I want to apply a drop cap at this letter N. To do that, I'll double-click to switch to the Type Tool and then I'll make sure that the cursor is flashing inside this paragraph.
Now I go to the Control Panel, making sure that it's in Paragraph mode and I can set the drop cap here. Right now, it's set to 0, which means no drop cap. I'm going to change it to 3 and then hit Enter or Return, that's it; I've got a drop cap. Now there are a few ways to fine-tune that drop cap, however. So let's take a look at that next. To adjust a drop cap, go to the Control Panel fly-out menu and choose Drop Caps and Nested Styles. Let's move this big dialog box out of the way so we can see what we're doing.
Here at the top you can see that our drop cap is going to drop 3 lines and it's going to be 1-character long. Most drop caps are only a single character but if you want to make this longer, you can. Let's change this to 2 and you can see that the entire word No is now a drop cap. You can make this as many characters as you want really. Let's set it back down to 1 though. One problem with setting a drop cap is this really huge character ends up being indented very slightly from the left edge. That looks a little bit weird so we're going to turn on the Align Left Edge checkbox.
That tells InDesign to make sure the left edge of the drop cap is aligned with the left edge of the rest of the text. If this drop cap had a descender like the letter Q or lowercase p that descender might bump into the text underneath it. If that were the case, I would turn on the Scale for Descenders checkbox but in this case, I'll leave it turned off. In a lot of designs the drop cap, is a different color or a style, sometimes even a whole different font from the rest of the text. Here by default, the drop cap is the same style as the rest of the text, but we can override that by choosing a Character Style here from this pop-up menu.
I've talked about Character Styles in a later chapter but I've gone ahead and created a Character Style here called drop swash and when I choose that, you can see that it immediately changes the whole drop cap. Let's go ahead and click OK so I can show you one last thing about drop caps that you need to know. Sometimes a drop cap, especially if it's italic, will bounce into the characters after it. You can adjust the amount of space between the drop cap and the letter next to it by changing its kerning. That's a character format. So I'm going to change the Control Panel to Character mode and then I'll come over here and change the kerning value.
As we saw earlier in this chapter, if I make this a negative number, it makes the space between these letters smaller. It brings the O closer to the N, but in the case of a drop cap, it brings all of the lines of that drop cap closer. If I do the opposite and make it a positive number, it pushes all of those lines away from the drop cap. You can create all kinds of interesting typographic effects with drop caps; just let your imagination go wild.
