Architect Michael Reynolds carefully steers his red Dodge pickup toward a collection of strangely shaped earthen mounds rising amid clumps of sagebrush and chamiso west of Taos, N.Mex. He stops to point out odd adobe domes, pyramids and castles dotting the mesa. "In my opinion, we have World War III going on right now," Reynolds says softly. "It's between the world and humanity. Because housing is the root of how we live, architects can make a difference."
This moonscape outside Taos is Michael Reynolds's laboratory. For 20 years the 45-year-old maverick architect has been trying to perfect a state-of-the-environment house that will, in his words, "reduce the stress level of the planet." Earthship, the radical design Reynolds finally unveiled in 1986, incorporates materials like discarded tires and beer cans and has propelled Reynolds into the front line of eco-architects. Already, 70 Earthship-style houses have been built in the Southwest, and their popularity is spreading. Actor Dennis Weaver commissioned Reynolds to build a $1 million, 10,000-square-foot Earthship in Ridgeway, Colo. Weaver's friend and neighbor, actor Keith Carradine, signed up Reynolds for a $1.5 million, 13,000-square-foot edifice. Unable to meet the demand, Reynolds has begun to market Earthship plans to would-be owners for $1,000 apiece. "I'd like things to happen a little more slowly than they're happening," he says. "Right now, people are beating down my door."
In designing Earthship, Reynolds grafted modern technology onto ancient building techniques. Like the Anasazi Indians, who constructed cliff dwellings in the Southwest 1,000 years ago, Reynolds carves his houses out of hillsides, using the earth to create rear, side and interior walls. The front of his Earthship, ideally facing south by southeast, consists of a long double-paned glass hallway that traps winter sunlight and conducts heat into the rooms leading off it. Each Earthship has a bank of photovoltaic cells on the roof that converts sunlight into enough electricity to power lights, appliances and computers. (The only outside energy source is a propane-gas tank used to fire the water heater and stove.) The front hall can double as a year-round vegetable garden, which is nourished from tanks of water recycled from sinks and washers.
The key to heating Earthships is the three-foot-thick walls constructed out of what Reynolds calls "natural resources"—aluminum cans and discarded tires packed with dirt. In winter, the steel-belted, rubber-encased brick walls trap heat and release it gradually into the rooms, resulting in what the architect calls a "2 A.M. phenomenon. People wake up in the middle of the night warmer than when they went to bed," he claims. In summer, cool air ventilates through the front windows while warm air is released by opening a skylight in the back. Building with tires has the added benefit of recycling rubber that would otherwise end up in landfills. "Common sense is what I call it," says Stephen Trujillo, an officer of First National Bank in Albuquerque at Taos, who recently moved into a house Reynolds built overlooking the town plaza. "I told myself, if you're smart, get out of the conventional residence.' I think this is something that can really work for a lot of people. Mike has it all together."
While many of Reynolds's peers have lauded his ingenuity, some experts wonder about the longevity of the Earthships. Ray Sterling, director of the Underground Space Center at the University of Minnesota, argues that the houses' dirt walls are suited only to dry climates like those in the Southwest. "You can build an Earthship any place you can build a conventional house," counters Reynolds. "In a wet climate, you would build the house entirely above ground and use more tires and beer cans."
Reynolds admits that he is consumed by his quest for the self-sufficient house. The son of a milkman and a homemaker, he was raised near Louisville, Ky., and attended architecture school at the University of Cincinnati. In 1969, seduced by southwestern architecture, Reynolds moved to Taos.
The next year Reynolds saw a report by television correspondent Charles Kuralt about the proliferation of beer-can litter. Reynolds figured there must be a way to use discarded objects in building cheaper houses. He bought 20 acres of land outside Taos and began experimenting. First he built a large meditation pyramid out of beer cans set in mortar. A few years later he began building with discarded tires, which he packed with dirt. (By last year, Reynolds had used so many of the old tires in Taos that he was forced to travel 125 miles to Albuquerque to get more.) Reasoning that he is his own best guinea pig, Reynolds has lived in each of the experimental homes he built while developing Earthship. "I've gone through it all," he says with a laugh. "Too hot, too cold, not enough electricity. You have to be a test pilot if you're going to go through this."
In the end it was necessity that spawned the Earthship design breakthrough. Divorced from his second wife, Reynolds was strapped for cash and needed a place to live with Chris Simpson, 40, an astrologer he married in 1987, and their three children from previous marriages. Reynolds drew up the plans for a 2,000-square-foot prototype for Earthship, and he and his family built it between May and October of 1989. The cost: $17 a square foot. Now that Earthship has been launched, Reynolds wants to test his creation in harsher environments. He has begun to build a cluster of self-sustaining homes in the rugged Sangre de Cristo mountains northeast of Taos. Reynolds has no regrets about his decision to forgo conventional architecture. "I know I could have made a fortune 10 times over," says Reynolds. "I've sacrificed big bucks to do this, but what I've got inside couldn't be bought for a billion."

Comments about Light Blue Stained Glass Area Rug:
The rug and its color were just as pictured online. It went well under our kitchen table. The thickness is just right too, not too thin or too thick. We placed a heavy book on each corner and the corners laid flat by the next morning. It also arrived within a couple of days without paying for extra shipping. Very happy with the purchase.

LEWISTOWN - Businesses have a choice with their taxes: pay them all to the government or give a portion to benefit private education options, Roseann Guerrini told members of the Rotary Club of Lewistown Tuesday.
Through Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program, businesses can contribute to tuition scholarships for private schools and receive a tax credit, said Guerrini, who is a member of the EITC Scholarship Committee at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School in Lewistown.
Corporations and small businesses can direct the funds that would otherwise go to state business taxes toward local private education, Guerrini said.

Roseann Guerrini, representing Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School, speaks about the benefits of the educational improvement tax credit program at the Rotary Club of Lewistown on Tuesday.
"The scholarships help families that often can't afford tuition," she said.
EITC donations go directly to families for tuition assistance, Guerrini said.
The state sets aside a specific allocation for EITC every year, she said. The credits are given to businesses on a first-come, first-served basis, she said.
For a one-year commitment, businesses will receive a 75 percent tax credit based on what they decided to give, she said. For a two-year commitment, the tax credit percentage increases to 90, she said.
"It's really a great deal - you're going to pay either way," Guerrini said.
To apply, businesses may contact the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Center for Business Financing at 787-7120 or email@example.com.
Businesses that pay any of the following taxes qualify for EITC: corporate net income tax, capital stock franchise tax, bank and trust company shares tax, title insurance companies shares tax, insurance premiums tax or mutual thrift institutions tax.
The application is an easy, one-page form, Guerrini said. After receiving an approval letter, businesses can make their contribution to a specific scholarship fund, such as the Neumann Scholarship Foundation, which benefits pupils at Sacred Heart, she said.
Other area private schools receive scholarships from similar foundations, she said.
Sue Parzanese, the school's director of finance and development, said someone recently asked her if EITC was simple to apply for.
"It's really that easy," Parzanese told Rotary members.

Sorry to hear about the binge.
I think things like that are easy to not see when you are in the middle of them. Having realized this is a big step in itself, and I know God has a way through this for you. I will be praying that you can clearly hear His voice for the way to walk out of this.
I have had a few big things I have had to walk out of, and I know that it felt just about the worst when I realized the magnitude of my "issue" but it was actually the best thing, since it was a turning point of sorts. I couldn't rationalize it any more, no matter how much I wanted to.
Isn't it great that God is big enough to handle this, and to love us just as much in the middle of our blowouts as He does in the middle of our greatest triumphs?

Fourteen pics from the Utah fest will unspool
LONDON — Ry Russo-Young's "Nobody Walks," Julie Delpy's "2 Days in New York," Josh Radnor's "Liberal Arts" and Eugene Jarecki's documentary "The House I Live In" are among 14 pics that will screen in the first Sundance London, which kicks off April 26.
The four-day event will screen a raft of pics that preemed at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City in January including Jeff Orlowski's climate change docu "Chasing Ice," hip-hop drama "Filly Brown," helmed by Youssef Delara and Michael D. Olmos, and Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush's "Finding North."
Additional titles at the inaugural fest include Sheldon Candis' street drama "LUV," Terence Nance's "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty," "Safety Not Guaranteed" from helmer Colin Trevorrow, docu award winner "The Queen of Versailles," LCD Soundsystem docu "Shut Up and Play the Hits," So Yong Kim's "For Ellen" and Joe Berlinger's "Under African Skies."
Sundance director of programming Trevor Groth told Variety, "We wanted not only a mix of narrative and documentary films, feature and short films, but also films from a variety of sections of our festival in Utah — Premieres, U.S. Competition and even our New Frontier experimental section.
"And of course there's a real emphasis on American stories from American filmmakers."
In addition to film screenings, Sundance London, which takes place in the O2 venue, will host live music performances and events each evening.
Opening night will kick off with a conversation between Sundance founder Robert Redford and "Crazy Heart" music producer and singer-songwriter T. Bone Burnett.
Music acts include Placebo in concert and Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird.
Sundance director John Cooper said, "Sundance London is an opportunity for anyone who appreciates independent film or has wondered what stories American artists are telling."

He use to be a maverick, ask any senator in Washington. Now, John McCain can't even spell the word.
Caught in a bitter battle for his senate re-election with teaparty favorite and conservative radio host J.D. Hayworth, Arizona senator John McCain has lost his mavericky swagger.
Mr McCain, who received the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, lost the election partly because of his mavrick ways. He was seen as someone who went against his party's wishes and even bragged on multiple occasions in the campaign that he "reached across the aisle to work with democrats." Heck, his bus in the campaign was called the Straight Talk Express!
Well evidently, his arms can't reach out no more and The Straight Talk Express bus is in the shop.
In a recent interview with Newsweek's David Margolick, John McCain said;
"I never considered myself a maverick, I consider myself a person who serves the people of Arizona to the best of his abilities."
On a side note, the presidential debate, September 26th 2008, Senator McCain, answering a question about what priorities he would give up to pay for the financial recovery plan said;
"It's well know that I have not been elected miss congeniality in the United States Senate nor with the Administration. I have opposed the president on spending, on climate change, on torture of prisoners, on Guantanamo bay on the way the Iraq war was conducted. I have a long record and the American people know me very well. That is independent and a maverick of the Senate."
So now that the wheels to the Straight Talk Express have fell off, John McCain has resort to a character trait that is definitely not that of a maverick. He is pandering to Arizona voters, telling them what he think they want to hear in order to get their votes. His new commercial states, that if re-elected, John McCain will build a fence along the Arizona border.
Mr. McCain, it's becoming obvious that you were right. You really never was a maverick, you just played one on TV.

Bovell poems
Andrew Bovell
When you need to make
A connection with God
When you feel beat
And your heart down-trod
When you are in a situation
And you don't know what to do,
Just have faith that the Lord
Will pull you through,
And pray.
Pray at all times of the day,
Pray in the spirit always,
For any reason at all, pray.
Whether with words,
By groanings of the spirit,
Or in perfect silence.
Communicate with the Most High
It makes perfect sense
That if we are to become like Him
We ought to spend time with him.
Just as birds of a feather
Flock together,
And he that walketh with wise men
Shall be wise.
What shall he that walketh
And communeth with the Most High
Verily I say
He will be
The most he can be.
So pray for others, pray for friends
And you will find
That you can't help but praying
For yourself.

Contributions are sought for the Encyclopedia of African Atlantic Relations, to be published in two volumes by ABC-CLIO in late 2004, edited by Angela M. Leonard and Alan Rice. This particular work (part of a dynamic multi-volume series on Transatlantic Relations) will cover the cultural, political, institutional, social, religious, artistic, multinational, multilingual, and multiethnic aspects of people of *African descent and their contributions to, impact on and unique influence in the development of countries, societies and continents which boarder the Atlantic Ocean. The Encyclopedia of African Atlantic Relations is arranged alphabetically and includes in the first volume a timeline as well as three lengthy historical essays on major periods. A board of prominent advisors, and an interdisciplinary collage of academics, specialists, and independent scholars are currently involved in this project, and the editors are actively seeking more. The editors anticipate that this will be the seminal (hence, most thorough) reference source that situates peoples of African descent within a global perspective, extending from ancient kingdoms to the present. This work will also contain original documents, illustrations (maps, charts, photographs) throughout, and a bibliography. Prospective contributors are sought in all fields (e.g. music, sports, education, law, politics, history, literatures, linguistics, languages, the arts, business, philosophy, theology, classics, geography, psychology, mathematics, sciences, media, anthropology, sociology, and medicine).
For particular details--including unassigned entries and remuneration, please contact either one of the editors:

Infrared Region: Wavelengths 700 nm - 14 µm
JENOPTIK Microoptics can provide integrated microoptical and assembly solutions perfect for the near to long wave infrared region. Refractive and diffractive microoptics can be manufactured using a variety of materials such as:
The IR region is becoming more and more important for military, telecommunications, and medical applications, where there is an increasing need for sharper resolutions, compact assemblies, high transmission, and a relatively low dispersion. We provide integrated solutions by using a variety of materials to reduce the size and weight of the optics and increase performance in this region.
NIR Region, Telecom & Biomedical Applications
The near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, covering a range of wavelength from 700 nanometers to 3 microns, lies just beyond the sensitivity of the eye. Applications like fiber optics in telecommunication uses wavelengths in this region to achieve both high transmission and a relative low dispersion making it possible to communicate over longer distances. This region is becoming important for some surgical procedures and material processing in the biomedical and industrial markets.
Mid and Long Wave Region, Defense & Security
The mid and long wave infrared regions, covering a range of wavelengths from 3 to 14 microns, have become very important for military applications. At this region it is possible to obtain sharp images on both close and distant objects used for military surveillance and sighting. Thermal imaging capabilities are also being used for medical diagnosis and industrial monitoring.

Domingo Taken Ill
Spanish tenor Placido Domingo, 60, is to undergo surgery following acute pain, forcing him to cancel his upcoming performances in Vienna, a statement from the State Opera said Friday. No details of his ailment were reported. The opera star was scheduled to appear in "Pagliacci" starting Monday, but he will now be replaced. Domingo and his doctor are confident that the star will be fit enough to appear in Wagner's "The Valkyre" beginning May 10, reports the Associated Press. According to Domingo's Web site, this year he is also expected to act in a feature film based on the life of opera composer Giacomo Puccini (who wrote "Madame Butterfly").

Thanks for opening up this trip report. I should mention at the outset, the LGQ-NQY leg is really a joint report with NQYGuy, but as there's no facility for joint authorship, it's appearing under my username...
Date: 300508
Flight: BA 2972
Departure: LGW 1315 (sched.); 1330 (push); 1340 (t-o)
Arrival: NQY 1415 (sched.); 1415 (ldg); 1420 (on stand)
Aircraft: Type – A319-131 Reg – G-EUPA
Seat/Cabin: 1A/Domestic
Driving through drizzle towards Gatwick at twenty past nine on Friday morning, a text message arrived: "Hey, weather's crap at NQY. Fog, fog and more fog! Haha." Having enjoyed reading NQYGuy's excellent trip report http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/trip_reports/read.main/122772 , I thought a quick jolly to the darkest southwest with BA was in order. My first domestic flights, with an A319 out and a long overdue appointment with a 737 classic for the return leg, were all the self-justification I needed!
The welcome surprise was that the inspiration for this trip in the shape of NQYGuy himself was to be on the same flight - hence the weather update - and we arranged to meet up in the North Terminal departures lounge. Check-in and security were brisk and I was soon in the BA Terraces lounge enjoying a much needed coffee and a far better breakfast than I would have had at home, even supposing I'd been organised enough to get it ready before leaving.
Another text from NQYGuy confirmed that he too was airside and overlooking the ramp from the vantage point of Costa Coffee. After asking several strangers if they were the a.netter in question, yielding a satisfying range of amused, bewildered and irritated responses, we finally met up and spent an enjoyable hour or so watching the arrivals and departures on 26L and the BA 777s being prepared for Tampa and Barbados amongst others. It was great to meet someone else who enjoys the buzz of a busy airport and talking about fleet structures, engines and airline liveries, things that non-a.netters seem curiously reluctant to do. A young-sounding girl with high-pitched voice of glass-shattering harmonics announced the Easyjet flight to Malaga and NQYGuy and myself raised our voices to talk over the sound of stampeding polyamide tracksuits.
Ramp views from Costa Coffee, North Terminal (NQYGuy)
At about half twelve, we congregated in the pokey gate 55 area from which UK domestic services operate and from which we saw G-EUPA landing a little late from Edinburgh. The two gate agents at 55D were engaged in conversation about their dogs. One had recently taken delivery of a Labrador puppy which, it transpired, had a lame leg. While she expressed consternation for its welfare and the exorbitant cost of vet fees, her colleague, a fellow dog owner, was recommending the use of various alternative therapies which apparently are suitable for soothing aching canine limbs. When an American couple rushed up to their desks, panting (in a non-canine manner) and with boarding cards outstretched, the older of the two agents abruptly dismissed them with a "No, not yet!" and a wave of her hand which seemed a little on the unfriendly side.
A319-131 G-EUPA arrived from EDI
Boarding was called, and after waiting for the predictable breakdown in British queuing etiquette and allowing the crush of people to elbow their way on to the airbridge, we finally made it on board and pushback followed at 1330, 15 minutes behind schedule. The captain announced that the flight time would be 38 minutes (yes, exactly 38) and after a leisurely take-off roll, we climbed into the low cloud over southern England.

Inflight service was, by necessity, brisk consisting of a bar service and the infamous BA birdseed aka Skybites, worked by a cabin crew team of 4. They were more polite than friendly, but understandably concentrating on getting the job done in a short time! The flip-down screens popped out (the highlight of NQYGuy's trip!!) and showed we were already over Devon, and sure enough the descent started with spoilers deployed soon after. As promised, the weather wasn't brilliant with occasional views of the countryside below. We finally broke through the cloud on final revealing a landscape of rolling hills, fields and some rather ugly quarry pits. Landing on runway 30 was on time at 1415 with steps at the door fewer than 5 minutes later.

Here's a link to NQYGuy's excellent video of the landing:
Again leaving everyone to disembark first in the hope of grabbing some photos in peace, we got to the aircraft door to find the captain standing at the top of the steps taking in the view of the ramp. He, along with G-EUPA, was LHR-based. They had flown LHR-EDI the previous evening and overnighted in EDI before flying EDI-LGW and LGW-NQY today. After flying the return to LGW, BA apparently had a chauffer waiting to drive him back to LHR. It was his first time to NQY and he seemed to be really enjoying it. He particularly mentioned the novelty of arriving at an airfield controlled by the RAF. I didn't ask whether he'd swap his shiny 'bus for a 737-400, but felt he might have been tempted.

Baggage seemed to take a leisurely time to emerge on to the single conveyor belt, and after saying farewell to NQYGuy and collecting a hire car, it was time to set off into deepest Cornwall…
Date: 010608
Flight: BA 2973
Departure: NQY 1800 (sched.); 1755 (push); 1805 (t-o)
Arrival: LGW 1900 (sched.); 1850 (ldg); 1855 (on stand)
Aircraft: Type – 737-505 Reg – G-GFFG
Seat/Cabin: 3A/Domestic
After a couple of interesting days in beautiful Cornwall including visits to Heligan and the Eden Project (both of which I'd recommend), the highlight of the trip – a spin in a 737 classic – beckoned. On arrival at NQY's departures building, it was immediately apparent why they're engaged in stripping every passengers' wallet of a fiver. It seemed that nearly every air conditioning duct was leaking, with ribbons of water drops spattering into a network of buckets spread over the floor both landside and airside. And the baggage conveyor behind the check-in desks kept breaking down. I felt like donating them another fiver. The departure lounge was pretty grim with a well worn and stained floor, piles of litter on the tables and very limited views of the ramp. Hopefully the new construction work will be well worth it. After a couple of Air Southwest flights to Bristol/Leeds-Bradford/Manchester and Glasgow had departed, BA 2973 was called for boarding. Apart from being on a 737-500 which was more of a thrill for me, especially the roaring, rocket-like take-off, the service was much the same as on the outbound. The cabin crew were very friendly and cheerful. One of them was particularly fond of NQY as it was the first flight she worked after completing her training with BA. After a 45 minute flight, arrival was on Gatwick's runway 08R and we were on stand a good 5 minutes early.
These were the first flights of this sort that I have taken and I continue to be impressed with BA. Just providing any sort of complementary bar and snack service on a 40-minute flight deserves some credit and the crew, especially on the return, were a good bunch. Many thanks to NQYGuy for a.netter company and inspiring this trip!

I spent time off last week, which is rare in my line of work this time of year. Summer in Muskegon: Usually there are stories to do every weekend, and reporting that lasts long into the night.
But somehow, my calendar cleared. Deadlines disappeared, and I was doing pretty good, doing exactly what I wanted to do on vacation, working in the garden by day, my nose stuck in a series of books at night -- until I dug into a nest of yellowjackets while planting a new butterfly bush.
They nailed me, but good.
The thing is, I didn't even see them coming. One minute, I plunged my garden spade into the exact spot I wanted the bush -- next to the hollyhocks, just this side of the climbing roses -- and suddenly, my leg was on fire.
I didn't panic, although I probably shouted, just a little. I've had practice with jellowjackets. A couple summers ago, I got stung by a bunch that had taken up residence in our mailbox, only I didn't notice. When I jerked out a large envelope with that particular day's mail, they attacked my hands which promptly swelled up to the size of those "We're No. 1" hands people wear at ballparks.
I didn't think that was a very good sign, but the emergency room physician told me I'd overreacted by coming in.
She said if I was truly allergic, I'd have already been dead.
Words of comfort, I suppose.
So, when the little buggers attacked me again last week -- did I mention scientists call jellowjackets "predatory" wasps? -- I took some antihistamine and went limping back into the fray. I had a garden to whip into shape. I was bound and determined to visit places my weed bucket and spade hadn't seen for awhile. It was time to undo too much gardener's neglect. The garden was wild. It was time to take control again.
The thing is, it was tough to see myself as the one in charge. I was too busy ducking a male red-winged blackbird that had decided the garden was his territory, not mine.
Red-winged blackbirds are fierce protectors of what they think is theirs, a fact I did not know or even care about until I read up on the subject. I thought red-winged blackbirds hung out in marshes, riding cat tails and reeds. I didn't know they took up residence in the suburbs where lawns are mowed, trees are trimmed, and the wildest things around are the marauding army of mosquitos.
That crazy bird wouldn't let me near my own flowers. It divebombed me, appearing out of nowhere the minute I walked into the yard. It shouted and strutted and made that noise that sounds like a rusty gate squeaking open. But I had weeding and planting to do, and I wasn't about to give up so -- and I'm just a little embarrassed to admit this -- I started carrying a weapon with me.
The garden hose.
I got so that I could hit that sucker in midair with a blast of water. If that sounds like gloating, so be it. I am usually the worst aim on the team. I can't hit a ball or see for beans, but I was always a deadeye with the garden hose.
Until I got on antihistamines.
Because the yellow jackets had beat up on me.
I'm usually on better terms with nature. The great outdoors is where I usually seek refuge and find a spot of rest -- even if it's from exhaustion after wrestling weeds for a day.
But this year?
That's a different story.

Aeron Chair
Aeron chairs have become the symbol of the profligate
era. But they are good chairs! If one has a bad back, I haven't really found a better chair for less money. And they are only about twice as expensive as "normal" chairs. On their website, you will also get a video and pdf on how to adjust them to your body.
If you don't "configure" the chair correctly, your back tends to get worse, not better. I am religiously against these chairs, as my back is already messed up. Occasionally, you will see me throw one these chairs into the hallway after someone has "replaced" my chair with their piece of $#@!. --
What one should be religiously against is people replacing the chair they've set up for themselves with another one not set up correctly. I have seen an office full of aerons, each with someone's name marked on the back. --
Even with ordinary office chairs, it is a good idea to set them up carefully, and maybe to adjust the settings through the day. With highly configurable chairs like the Aeron, it's all the more important. We had an ergonomist come in and teach us how to do this. Interestingly, she reccommended buying very plain chairs, without contoured upholstery, and then attaching shaped pieces as necessary to make the chair fit you. Since the aeron is not padded, but rather is constructed with fabric streched over movable elements, it's not clear whether they are good or bad in this respect.
GREAT chairs. A friend has one she picked up used. A hotel in Baltimore (the Wyndham) has them in every single room; I can't imagine what this cost, and doubt it increases their revenue at all, but I sure do find it a nice perk when I go there. --
I want one, but I wonder if anyone has more information about contras of these chairs, ie, if you suffer from your back, as has been pointed out. --
Actually, the best office chair I've found is a $129 no-name brand sold at Office
Max (
warning) - item #01215919. We bought a bunch for the office (I guess that makes us a non-dot-com-type of company ;-), and I liked it so much that I bought one for myself at home (as have others). Sitting in it for 8 hours causes no fatigue. Comes with a 15-year warranty. --
I have a chair by Steal Case known as "Please"; I have had this chair for 3 years and have found it very comfortable. It's certainly an improvement on bog standard office type models.
Some people find
The fabric is an open mesh, so when you break wind the sound carries instead of being muffled. Hence, these chairs are not suitable for
Hmm. I wonder if they took this into account when they designed the
They had these at
in London and still people wonder where all the money went. The office looked more like a minimalist art gallery than an office. I doubt that the original macintosh team or the Xerox Parc people went in for designer environments. (Bill Joy commented in one of his talks on jini that lots of really innovative teams seem to have got on well in grubby surroundings. Guy Kawasaki said something similar in his book "
We've been Aeron Chair loyals since the 90's and haven't found support cushions that complement Herman Miller's modern style. So we handcrafted the U-Fo Saddle Collection - they're stylish and comfortable leather lumbar pillows and seat cushions that come in pops of modern color. We're based in San Francisco.
This page is ranking very high in Google, and we have had many of our potential customers queered on buying this product. The Aeron chair has revolutionized office seating and we have thousands of happy clients sitting in this chair. The Aeron chair has relieved many people from chronic back pain, and we are asking for your help in �taking down� this page from the Internet. -- an office equipment vendor
I have received this request by phone and email. In response I've neatened this page up a bit and will here state that these are only anecdotal comments from the users of chairs, all presumably leading a dangerously sedentary life in the computer industry. I remind all authors that we are ranked highly in Google and should accept with that the responsibility to be fair and cautious when criticizing any product. --
I have one of the lower-end models from the same company, but the seat eventually tore on me. The seat construction itself looks like the higher-end model, perhaps the same kind of construction. (Yes, I probably should lose weight.)
They also make Aeron touch up paint:
too. My chair got all scratched up by my dog, and the touch up paint worked great. It looks new again.
After years of suffering from back, neck, and shoulder problems associated with long hours in an inadequate office chair, I finally bought the Aeron chair by Herman Miller and haven't woke up sore from chair pains since. --
I have had an Aeron chair for over a year now, and have had some suspicious new back pains emerge. I CANNOT directly link them to the chair. In fact, that's why I'm on line today: to see if anyone else has similar experience. My "sense" is that the mesh seat allows a kind of rotational force that is not good for the spine/hips. The rotation I mean is that I feel all my weight pressing down in the center of the chair, beneath my spine... the mesh sags there, and so my "cheeks"/hip bones are rotated outward. This is very uncomfortable. Again: I don't know if the Aeron Chair is the cause... but it certainly isn't the solution at this point.
I also had the problem where my hips felt 'rotated' outwards and upwards. I ended up with lots of knots in my glutes and odd new back pain, and am on a series of anti-inflammatories still. I hate that stupid chair.

By Glenn Kimball, Corvallis
Communism's architect, Karl Marx, prescribed methods to overthrow governments and first install Socialism, followed inevitably by pure Communism. He wrote, "Socialize medicine first, then all other activities of a nation will follow as night the day".
When Barack Obama entered presidential office, he was immediately faced with the pressing issues of two foreign wars and escalating unemployment, but what did he do instead? He shelved them and created Obamacare first, just as Karl Marx said he should.
It's incredible to me that so many American citizens still believe that Obamacare implements legitimate healthcare reform. It does not. It's an instrument designed to make a larger segment of the population dependent upon federal government, thus ensuring a perpetual supply of Democratic Party voters to maintain Obama's socialist regime in power.
Probably not one in ten US congressmen read the lengthy 1300 page Obamacare bill before signing it. Free-spending icon Nancy Pelosi said, "I guess we will have to pass it just to find out what's in it." Montana's US Senator Max Baucus, who ostensibly wrote the bill and then introduced it in the US Senate, publicly admitted that he never read it. When asked why by the news media, he admonished the reporters for expecting someone as busy as him to read an entire bill. Jon Tester, Montana's other US Senator, voted in favor of it also.
While Obamacare imposes a 2.5% "punitive tax" (fine) upon American citizens who do not wish to participate in the program, it permits administration favorites to "opt-out" of the plan. So far the United Auto Workers (UAW), SEIU and ACORN have done so. If it's such a good deal, why don't they choose to participate? Perhaps it's because Obamacare subsidizes their union healthcare plans with taxpayer money.
A previously published rebuttal letter in the Missoulian listed just eight of the draconian measures contained in Obamacare, out of a total of 115 or so. Now we have an allegedly bipartisan 12-member congressional "super-committee" tasked with finding ways to reduce the deficit. You can bet that they will recommend virtually everything else except defunding all or part of Obamacare.
Obamacare is actually a tax increase bill. Embedded in it are $105.4 billion dollars in new taxes, $5 billion just this year, and $100 billion over the next eight years. Many members of Congress were astonished when recently advised of this. We should all realize that this is not just proposed spending. It is contained in legislation already voted into law and the money is currently being spent.
Obamacare's repercussions will spread across government. 150,000 new government jobs must be created just to administer it, 15,000 new IRS agents alone. These jobs will be added to the already bloated federal employee budget.
By any other words, Obamacare is "socialized medicine". We should anticipate that our healthcare will become as bad as it is in socialized nations like Canada and Britain. We won't have near the number of competent doctors needed to serve our current population, much less a variously estimated 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants that Obamacare provides with free healthcare. With their wages artificially set by inexpert government bureaucrats, many US doctors plan to retire. Predictably, the government will attempt to replace them with marginally educated and inexperienced doctors from third world countries.
Despite denials, healthcare rationing will become a reality. Scheduled surgeries may require years-long waits. Access to competent specialists will be limited because Obamacare compensates all doctors equally, regardless of specialty or duration of medical training. Citizens of Canada and Britain confirm the result of their socialized medicine experiment. Many Canadians vote with their feet, traveling to the US to receive timely medical treatment.
In late news, the Eleventh US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Obamacare is unconstitutional, primarily because it imposes a 'fine' for non-participation. Congress overstepped its authority in doing so. Only the Judiciary branch of government may impose fines. The next step is the US Supreme Court, where Obama's US Justice appointees Sotomayor and Kagan await their queue.

Speaking in the middle of a closed-off, heavily barricaded four-lane street near Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, the president attended the groundbreaking for a $15 million road project and declared it the 10,000th such project paid for with stimulus dollars.
"These projects haven't just improved communities. They've put thousands of construction crews -- just like this one -- to work," Obama said, gesturing to construction workers off to his right.
"They've spurred countless small businesses to hire," he said. "It means that instead of worrying about where their next paycheck is going to come from, Americans across the country are helping to build our future -- and their own futures."
Last month in Ohio, 293 stimulus-funded projects were underway in Ohio, with 7,000 construction workers on the job who combined took home about $8.5 million in pay, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation. Seventy-five projects have already been completed.
Ohio has spent about $7.5 billion of the $12.6 billion available to the state for projects under the stimulus act. Thus far, the White House says the 10,000 stimulus-backed infrastructure projects have led to 2.5 million jobs in about a year's time.
From some of the stimulus-funded projects under way:
• 7,000 construction workers were on the job last month in Ohio and took home about $8.5 million in pay.
• Ohio has spent about $7.5 billion of the $12.6 billion available to the state for projects.
• The White House says 10,000 infrastructure projects have led to 2.5 million jobs in about a year.
Transcript of President Obama's speech
"That is the purpose of the Recovery Act," Obama declared in a 13-minute speech. "Not just to jumpstart the economy to get us out of the hole we're in right now, but to make investments that will spur growth and prosperity and pay dividends to our communities for generations to come."
It was Obama's eighth visit to Ohio since he took office in January 2009. His speech, which was closed to the public, kicked off what the White House has billed as the "Recovery Summer" tour, a six-week effort to push stimulus projects.
It was also a break for the president from the BP oil leak disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama did not refer to the spill in his remarks.
Obama was here for just under an hour, standing near an intersection fortified with dump trucks, school buses and construction equipment.
After his speech he chatted with construction workers, autographed a few hard hats and was quickly escorted out of the area. Supporters peering from behind chain-link fences cheered as the president walked toward his motorcade.
With him on his stop in Ohio were a gaggle of Democrats, including Gov. Ted Strickland, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, Sen. Sherrod Brown and members of Congress facing re-election this fall.
And the president seemed to address all of the hot-button topics dogging Strickland in his battle against Republican challenger John Kasich -- the dismal economy and job losses.
"The people who say the recovery act is not working, they don't know what they are talking about," said Strickland. The governor praised Obama's handling of the economy, noting that the president took over when the country was already in a recession.
"The economy is starting to grow. We are at a time of recovery," Strickland said. "It's going to take us a while because the hole was very deep and there is no instant answer to the problems we face."
But where Democrats see signs of progress, Republicans -- including House Republican Leader John Boehner of Southwest Ohio -- say they see trouble along this stimulus-paved road.
Boehner, in a statement, noted that Obama's visit occurred just as the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reported that the state's unemployment rate remained above 10 percent for the 14th consecutive month. The May rate of 10.7 percent, however, was down slightly from the previous month.
"As today's jobs report shows, this will be no 'recovery summer' for the more than 100,000 Ohioans who have lost their jobs since the 'stimulus' was enacted," Boehner said.
"While any positive growth is encouraging, there appears to be no relief in sight for middle-class families and small businesses struggling as a result of Ohio's painfully high unemployment rate."
Boehner's office also noted that many of the 17,100 jobs created in Ohio in May were for temporary census work.
But Strickland said he believes the infusion of public dollars for stimulus projects is beginning to help private employers, too.
"We can all think back to a few months ago and remember that time when the private sector was basically paralyzed," the governor said. "It was the public expenditures that kept this economy from totally going in the tank."
The president was last in Ohio on May 18 when he stopped in Youngstown to visit V&M Star steel pipe plant, also to tout the effects of the stimulus bill.
Ohio again in 2012 figures to be a key swing state in the presidential election as evidenced by Obama's frequent stops here, where his approval rating has fallen since he took office.
Fisher, who is running for U.S. Senate, conspicuously skipped Obama's last two visits to Ohio and Republicans earlier this week speculated he did not want to be seen with the president.
"Unfortunately there were some scheduling conflicts," Fisher said. "The fact is, much ado was made about nothing. I am proud to be with him and will be proud to be with him in the future as well."

Made by Hafiz Muhammad of Multan
Wood and resin core covered with sheets of repoussé, chased and engraved gold
Lahore, Pakistan
About 1818
Museum no. 2518(IS)
1818 was the year when Multan finally fell to the Sikhs, and it is likely that the throne was commissioned to mark the event. The court of Ranjit Singh was then at Lahore and the throne is traditionally associated with that city, where it was found on the annexation of the Punjab in 1849. The British Governor-General, Lord Dalhousie, was not sure if the throne would be wanted, writing to London 'It is set apart as an object which the court [of the East India Company] would probably desire to preserve, but as it is bulky, I shall not forward it until I receive orders to do so'. The Company did wish to preserve it and in 1853 the throne travelled to Calcutta (where Dalhousie had a wooden replica made) before it was shipped to the Indian Museum in London. In 1879, Ranjit Singh's Golden Throne moved to the South Kensington Museum, later renamed the Victoria and Albert Museum, where it has remained ever since.

Confessions of a......
To the average observer I am an optimistic 32 year old woman who was raised by two wonderful parents, who holds a job, enjoys a drink from time to time, laughs out loud, is independent, has a strong desire to achieve in her life, works hard, appreciates her friends and family, has strong convictions, is compassionate, and honestly is a great person. People enjoy my optimistic, happy go lucky attitude. My sense of humor, all be it unique, has offered many laughs, sore bellies, and tired cheeks; life tends to be a perpetual comedy show from my perspective. In my career I have grown quickly within organizations, my natural leadership qualities pulling me to the top as if floatation devices in the sea of corporate bliss are attached to my work product. I live a healthy lifestyle – I eat right, skip the desserts most of the time, indulge on occasion, run approximately 25 miles a week, kayak, love to camp, love to cook, and I'm not afraid of a little dirt under my nails. Throughout my years I have changed my own flat tire, babysat children, fixed the kitchen sink plumbing, hugged my mother and father, renovated a house, cleaned toilets, supported my brother and sister, tended to a garden, bantered with the neighbors, dressed up for a night at the theatre, and spent time at professional networking events. People have told me I'm quite the "catch" yet I am modest by nature. I've been in relationships and I have never strayed - never even considered it, as I'm quite the believer in love.
To the average observer, I am normal – for lack of a better word. Only I know the truth.
I'm a craigslist slut. I can't help it and I have had quite a bit of fun along the way. I have responded to personal ads, and even posted a few of my own – all casual encounters, mind you. Some of the men lack the intelligence to keep my mind engaged in simple email banter, so I politely tell them "thank you but no thank you." Some men I simply email with; some men I have met. I've fucked younger guys (who are fun in their own innocent way, even though they think they are badass lovers – it's cute and endearing) and older guys (there's some fucking sensual, talented men out there) and guys around my own age (got to love the pussy hungry 30/40-somethings).
Some of the men I've met are good looking, some super effing hot. Some of them are not even close to what their pictures represent. Some of them are weirdos, complete effing weirdos and some of them are your average American males. Some of them can fuck; some of them could not fuck. One guy shaved his entire body, entirely. One guy probably never trimmed his pubs once in his life. One man I met had a huge cock, but could not keep it up and hard when it came to actually inserting it into my pussy. He preferred to jerk off and have me watch. Amusingly I watched, and let him cum on my face. I found this weird, but he got off, so I let him think I was having as much fun as he was. He could lick pussy, so I wasn't complaining, either. Another man I met for drinks and he went down on me in the parking lot. We met another time at his place and fucked for hours. He could also lick pussy. One guy wanted me to fuck him with a strap on – so I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it – now I know why you fellas like doggie style so much – what a view. One man photographed and sketched me. Another man I met had the excitement of a child on Christmas Eve. He could barely contain himself – I went to the bathroom and he was shouting "Yes! Yes! Oh my god, this is really going to happen!" to himself, not knowing I could clearly hear every single word. We made out like we were lovers in love; his touch was electrifying. He is now a Top 5 Pussy Licker in my book of lovers.
Met one guy for drinks, he took me back to his place and never laid a hand on me. As I was getting up to go he attempted to make out; I told him not to wait until I was leaving next time. We'll see if he calls. One guy was so fucking hot (tall, built, full of muscles, biggest cock I've ever had the pleasure to suck and fuck); we had wild uninhibited sex all night. He smelled so good I went to work the next day without showering so I could get a whiff of his man scent throughout the day. His pheromones were so strong I can still get wet thinking about how fantastic he smelled. I would have made him my n.s.a. lover – but strangely he never returned my callback even though he texted me the next morning and mentioned how he was still throbbing – why men do the things they do simply isn't worth the effort to figure out. One guy met with me, and his girlfriend was (unknowingly to me) across the bar; it was a set up to see if I'd be into a threesome – I could see through their scam, but I liked their creativity so I played the dumb blonde card and let both of them lick my pussy and pinch my nipples. One guy loved nylons, so I wore a short skirt with thigh highs and let him finger me under the table at a busy restaurant; no one suspected a thing, except the waiter who winked at me on my way out the door. One guy just wanted to give me a massage; so I let him. It was so good I sucked the cum right out of his cock as a thank you.
I've sucked huge cocks and not so huge cocks. I've had many, many orgasms. Burned many a calorie. I've experienced different kinds of lovers, fetishes, and sexual likes/dislikes. It has been an educational experience to say the least. I believe each situation was a win-win for the involved parties.
I'm a self admitted Craigslist slut. Call me what you will, send me what you will – but know that honestly, I don't give a shit what you think of me. I'm confident enough in myself that words will never hurt me. Judgments – never needed them in my life, so a judgment from a stranger means nothing to me. I'm an empowered single woman with a high sex drive; I'm simply doing the best I can to quench my sexual urges and having tons of fun along the way. I always practice safe sex. If I wanted a relationship, I could have one – but I'm enjoying my first single summer in many, many years. I'm enjoying the shit out of being a CL slut. I love my life.
Let me close with a big ol'THANK YOU Craigslist! You have made this one hot steamy summer. I appreciate what you have done for me……

24th March 2003
Departure Airport: GZM
Arrival Airport: MLA
Flight Number: R5 907, 3:30pm
Aircraft: Mil Mi-8P, LZ-CAX
I arrived at Xewkija Heliport some forty five minutes ahead of departure, strictly speaking not enough time if I wanted to check through to my final destination here. But, a big disappointment awaited me at the check-in desk as I presented my tickets. 'Not an Air Malta flight?', the agent asked me. I replied that no, my onward flight isn't KM. 'So you have to check-in again in Malta.', he responded. While I wasn't happy, I thought it would be tolerable. How wrong I was! I didn't know what would come.
I sat around while the three other passengers on the flight arrived and some twenty minutes before departure we were called in to security. The screener opened my full backpack and seemed content with the shirt I had folded at its top, so he closed it again. I set off the metal detector and was about to take off my heavy stainless steel watch and walk through again but when the screener saw me do this, he stopped me with a loud 'Oh, don't bother!'. The other passengers received much the same scrutiny (please note my sarcasm) and we sat at the gate.
As we boarded the chopper, I noticed that the flight attendant was different than my last two flights. She had a very funny hairstyle, and I had the impression that she would have been more adapted to a circus than an aircraft anyway. She welcomed us with her Bulgarian accent and shut the doors. Shortly afterwards, there was the well-known vacuum cleaner noise as the chopper started its engines and we took off in no time.
The flight was rather jerky since a grigal wind was blowing, but this did not seem to interrupt the flight attendant's busy changing of the headrest covers of the vacant seats. We landed on time, surprisingly at the end of runway 14, which is not the usual landing place of the chopper. As we boarded the bus, I was given back my suitcase and told to leave the bus at its 'second stop', i.e. at the departures lounge of Malta International Airport.
24th March 2003
Departure Airport: MLA
Arrival Airport: PRG
Flight Number: 8F 2202, 5:20pm
Aircraft: Boeing 737-33A, OK-FUN
I entered the check-in area hoping to find a short queue since this was some two hours before the flight. I was wrong. I was the last person to stand in an extremely long check-in queue (only two counters were open), and it took me a good half hour to get my turn. Imagine my delight.
I offered both my passports to the check-in agent (who was, for once, the sort of person you want to meet at airports - friendly and polite) but she picked my Czech saying that it's 'better', and in a way she made sense because Maltese citizens are not allowed to fly on charters other than Air Malta. I went a bit red though because I don't take much pride in being a Czech citizen and try to avoid using my Czech passport where possible. I got a window seat, 4A, and went up the stairs to passport control and security.
The former was problem-free. My Czech passport bears an 'exempt person' stamp which means that I do not have to leave Malta within three months of arriving (I know it's absurd if you consider that I'm a Maltese citizen), so I was not checked in detail. Now I feel I need to dedicate quite a lot of this report to security. In my past two reports, I had written how much better M.I.A.'s security department is now than it used to be before. Sadly, I have to withdraw this judgement. The checkpoint was an utter chaos.
I waited in line for some fifteen minutes before even getting my turn. And mind you, the line could have been a lot shorter. While two x-ray machines were in operation, only one of the two metal detectors was being used. Now that, in such a heavy traffic situation, is what I call sheer incompetence. Worse still, the screeners were all extremely rude. As I reached the x-ray machine, the bald gentleman sitting next to it snarled 'Jacket' at me through his teeth, which was supposed to be a request for me to pass my jacket through the machine. I left my watch on, on purpose, because I was determined to give these arrogant people a hard time. The metal detector gave me its inevitable beep as I walked through, and I approached the nearest wand-equipped screener, who ignored me. 'Over here, sir!', yelled another screener at me from some five feet away. He proceeded to give me a very thorough wanding and pat down. With not even a 'thank you', I was allowed to pick up my belongings from the conveyor. To make my already big anger even greater, I found that the basket I had emptied my pockets into had turned upside down and my mobile phone, wallet and chewing gum were rolling loosely down the roller table. Well, let me make this short. I have just one thing to say to the people who were working this security shift: messkom tisthu (you should be ashamed of yourself)!
Overcome by memories of my previous flight, my first stop was the newsagent shop and my heart jumped when I saw that sitting at the cash point was my... erm... acquaintance... Dianne. I picked up a magazine which mum asked me to bring for her and went to pay. I was absolutely delighted when Dianne recognized me (and even remembered that my name is Michael) and asked me how I was. I summed up my overall depression and the anger of that afternoon in a few words and Dianne gave me some much needed soothing words and encouragement as well as several of her lovely smiles. As we chatted, I mentioned having to get mum something for her birthday, and I asked her to suggest something - not much one can get someone who's being treated in an ITU long-term. She suggested an eau de toilette and I went to choose one at the duty free shop. I settled on Flower by Kenzo and went back to chat with Dianne. As I said in my last report, she's one of those people I could talk to all the time. We did have a slight clash of opinions on the EU, however - I tend to be in favour while she is one of the people who definitely oppose it. She turned out to be Maltese-Australian, and as a last resort, she always has the option to move back to the country where she was born and spent the first fifteen years of her life.
As I was about to leave, I gathered up my courage and asked to take a picture with her. Her first reaction was utter disbelief - u ejja! (c'mon!), but I told her that I want a few people to be jealous of me and she told me to wait while she put on some lipstick biex jghiru iktar (to make them even more jealous). When I got my photo (available on request), we gave each other a caw caw and I went to my gate.
Boarding started shortly, and we had to walk to the plane - obviously Mr Fischer was cost-cutting and the Lm60 charge per bus ride from terminal to plane stand seemed excessive. I was expecting to hear Celine Dion as boarding music, which is what I remembered on Fischer Air two years back, but instead, Abba's 'Fernando' was what I heard. As we sat down, we were offered welcome drinks by cabin crew - either juice or champagne. And since this was offered to just the first few rows, I started to wonder whether or not I was sitting in Business.
The safety announcement, spoken (not recorded), was rather eloquent in Czech and incomprehensible in English. Fischer's cabin crews usually don't possess a very good knowledge of English, and to hide it, they speak very fast. I fought back a tumult of emotions understandable only to myself and almost burst into tears (depression is not a nice thing) as the plane's engines roared and we took off, ahead of schedule, and I saw the land I call home disappear slowly.
Our main course was Chicken a la Pheasant with rice, vegetable salad, choice of cheeses and an apple pie. Finally, I got a hot meal on one of my flights, and the food was very good with the exception of the dry pie. The dishes were rather worn and not nice, too. There were two coffee services, and the lavatory which I visited was clean and well-equipped. I asked the purser whether I could leave the plane last and take cabin shots and he was extremely polite and said that most certainly yes.
Shortly before landing, we were offered some mineral water and I chatted to the gentleman next to me who had been on holiday in Malta - it's always interesting to hear the opinions people have of my country. We landed exactly on time and taxied to Pier B, where I waited for the plane to empty itself and took my pictures with the full co-operation of the purser. I then proceeded through a rather speedy passport control and picked up my baggage, and was met by my cousin in the arrivals hall.

Flight Number: OK 718, 7:35am
Aircraft: Boeing 737-55S, OK-XGE
Prague airport was shrouded in a very thick fog this morning, and no wonder, the check-in desks opened very late. The smile-less agent made me brood yet again on why so many airline jobs go to people who visibly don't give a f*ck about them. Passport control was very slow - of course, these days there's the excuse of the war. But in any case, many more desks could have been opened.
I was surprised that the security checkpoint was using one of the old single-zone Metorex metal detectors and not the shiny new multi-zone example which was standing a few feet away. Oh well, not my business after all. I made an attempt to remove all metal objects on me but I set off the detector anyway, and it didn't really make a difference either: a rather pretty and well-dressed but surly young lady (how naive of me to expect smiles in the Czech Republic) was wanding everyone without distinction, waving her wand aggressively but not reacting to the alarms. Weird.
A few minutes before our scheduled flight time, we were told that the flight was delayed and further information would be given at 8am. But instead, they let us sit and wait till 9am when we were allowed to board. A predominantly female cabin crew (just one male) handed out some water and juice, and we were finally allowed to take off at 9:45am.
Shortly, we got our 'light breakfast': two slices of ham, one of cheese, some bread rolls, butter, jam and fruit salad. Well, nothing special, but not so bad after all. I was happy to see that the drink I got was a normal size can, and not the hamster-sized can Air Malta gives out. Then we got a rather tasty coffee. Cabin crew cleared up wearing gloves - the first airline I've seen that does this, and in my opinion it is a very subtle hint that CSA is disgusted with its passengers.
We landed at Malpensa at 11.55am, and went through the transit checkpoint, where the lady behind the x-ray machine's monitors seemed to be asleep and her wand-equipped colleague had to wake her up with a loud 'Monica!!!'. Surprise... I set off the detector. But I was allowed to go off after a very quick wanding. Dad and I sat around in one of the lounges, which had adequate seating space, until the gate for our next flight appeared on the monitors.

We boarded through one of the non-jetway gates and were bussed to our plane, one of Alitalia's many 'Super 80's. But I cannot complain. Our seats were in the extended business class cabin, four abreast, so we had very generous seating space. Overall, I have to give Alitalia a very high rating. The plane was clean, the in-flight magazine is amazingly thick and rich in content, flight attendants are very professional and well groomed.
We took off on time and our meal was handed out shortly. This consisted of, yet again, cheese, ham (not pork though), a cheese sandwich, water, juice and butter. The most interesting part was probably the surprisingly large and delicious slice of lemon cake. Coffee was a bit too strong for my tastes.
For the rest of the flight, I just relaxed in my very wide seat and thought about why the Maltese passengers on the flight are so loud and unruly. Oh well...
We landed on time, and since this pencil is equipped with in-built stairways, we did not have to wait for stairways to arrive. I was intentionally among the last to disembark, and asked one of the flight attendants whether I could take a photo of the cabin. The lady I asked seemed very surprised and asked why, and on my mention of the word internet she went to the captain. She came back with a negative answer. Well, I thanked her anyway but this was the first time in my life I was refused permission to shoot a cabin picture.
The 'Maltese Passports' desk was, as usual, quick, and I was through in no time and had to wait for dad as he was sandwiched in the non-Maltese queue between some British tourists. Our bags arrived reasonably quickly, and we went to pick up our helicopter tickets from the Air Malta sales office.

I don't have much to say about this flight except for the fact that, surprisingly, the helicopter was full! We were checked in and guided through security, which was a bit better this time. I set off the metal detector and, seeing that I spoke Maltese to her, the lady with the wand was very polite and let me off quickly.
We took off ten minutes behind schedule and the tourists who were flying with us were delighted at the panorama the helicopter flight offers - and indeed, Malta from the air is spectacular. They were all busily filming it with their cameras and taking pictures. We landed at Xewkija Heliport, got our bags back and now... here I am, home again!

To the Editor.—
The recent article by Parker and Brown entitled "Coping Behaviors That Mediate Between Life Events and Depression" (Archives 1982;39:1386-1391) attempted to describe how often coping behaviors are used in response to depression-producing events and which behaviors are effective in reducing the stress of these events. Coping behavior was examined in subjects taken from general practices and in a group of diagnosed depressives while the subjects were both depressed and in remission. There were several conceptual and methodologic issues in the report that undermined the authors' conclusions: the interpretation of coping changes in patients as their symptoms remitted, the confounding of event appraisal and depressed mood, and the validity of the new coping questionnaire measures.While depressed, the patients reported coping differently than controls, but when in remission their coping responses returned to levels similar to those of controls. A plausible (though unmentioned) explanation is plain: all subjects

DEARBORN, Mich. — It looks like a minivan. It has sliding doors like a minivan. So why isn't Ford calling its new seven-seater a minivan?
Palmetto Ford Lincoln will hold a fundraiser from 4-8 p.m. Thursday to benefit Trident United Way.The dealership will donate $10, up to $500, to the nonprofit for each person who attends the event.Palmetto Ford Lincoln is at 1625 Savannah Highway.The event will include an opportunity to audition via webcam for an "American Idol VIP" experience that includes an all-expense paid trip for two to Hollywood to attend a live taping of the show's 12th season.Anyone 18 years and older can preregister at www.randomactsoffusion.com. Those who register at the dealership will have the chance to enter a drawing to win a 2013 Ford Fusion. The fundraiser is part of a campaign to introduce consumers to the Fusion.
For the same reason you don't wear mom jeans or listen to Barry Manilow: It's not cool.
The Transit Connect Wagon will debut later this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It's set to go on sale late next fall.
To the average buyer — or, in fact, to everyone outside of Ford Motor Co. — it will appear that Ford is getting back into the minivan business after a six-year hiatus. The Transit Connect Wagon, which is based on Ford's Transit Connect commercial van, has the high roof of the van but trades its industrial-looking hood for the tapered nose and trapezoid grille of Ford's cars. It has sliding doors on both sides and comes in five-seat and seven-seat versions.
The new vehicle will have two four-cylinder engine options, one of which will get 30 miles per gallon or more on the highway. That would make it the most fuel-efficient minivan on the market — if it was a minivan. But Ford insists it's not.
"It's anything but a minivan," said David Mondragon, Ford's general manager of marketing. "In our mind, it's a people mover. We think of it as more of a utility, or kind of a hybrid sport utility, than a minivan."
Mondragon says the m-word is too polarizing and turns off Ford's target customers: 30- to 42-year-old parents who grew up with minivans and like their utility but don't want to sacrifice style.
Rebecca Lindland, an automotive analyst with IHS Global Insight, thinks Ford is worrying too much about focus groups. Cave in and call it a minivan, she says.
"It's a great-looking vehicle," she said. "I think they should celebrate the utility of it."
