Goose (plural geese, male gander(s))
is the general English name for a considerable number of birds, belonging to the family Anatidae. This family also includes swans, most of which are larger than geese, and ducks, which are smaller.
Goose in its origins is one of the oldest words of the Indo-European languages (Crystal), the modern names deriving from the proto-Indo-European root, ghans, hence Sanskrit hamsa (feminine hamsii), Latin anser, Greek khén etc.
In the Germanic languages, the root word led to Old English gos with the plural gés, German Gans and Old Norse gas. Other modern derivatives are Russian gus and Old Irish géiss; the family name of the cleric Jan Hus is derived from the Czech derivative husa.
In non-technical use, the male goose is called a "gander" (Anglo-Saxon gandra) and the female is the "goose"; young birds before fledging are known as "goslings". A group of geese on the ground is called a gaggle; when flying in formation, it is called a wedge or a skein.

ach du dumme Gans!
Eine sehr bekannte und häufig angewandte Redensart, um die geistige Beschränktheit weiblicher Personen zu bezeichnen. Die Gans steht bei uns ebenso allgemein in dem Rufe der Dummheit wie der Esel. Auch führt sie den Namen Alheit = Adelheit, abgekürzt Alke. Man leitet diesen Namen ebenfalls aus der Dummheit und Geschwätzigkeit her, durch welche die Gans charakterisiert wird.

the rear goose--

ato no kari yare-yare ashi ga itamu yara
by Kobaylshi Issa, 1812
Shiniji Ogawa notes that ato in this haiku, though it is spelled with the kanji for "footprint," in fact means "rear": ato no kari = "rear goose."

yuuzuki ni shiri tsunmukete oda no kari
in a small paddy
wild geese point their tails
at the evening moon
Tr. Chris Drake
This hokku was written at the end of the 8th month (early October) in 1812.
Wild geese have flown south to Japan for the winter, and a group is now in a small dry rice paddy that's mostly empty following the recent rice harvest. As the geese bend over and forage in the grasses and stubble that remain, their tail feathers point up toward the moon. In Issa's time an evening moon (yuuzuki) was usually a waxing moon going down in the west late in the afternoon or in the twilight, so the tails of the geese are pointing upward and westward.
Perhaps Issa feels it's uncanny that the tails of the geese are pointing in the direction of the Pure Land even though they don't seem to be aware of it.
Chris Drake
deru tsuki ni kadota no kari no gyoogi kana
at moonrise geese
in the field by the gate
remember their manners
Tr. Chris Drake
This autumn hokku was written in the 7th month (August) in 1810, when Issa was traveling around in the area to the east of Edo. The gate does not belong to a typical farmhouse, and this is no ordinary rice paddy. Most paddies were located some distance from the farmer's house, but this paddy is located directly in front of the large front gate of a temple or shrine or the gate of a mansion owned by a rich landlord or samurai, and it is choice land, probably with high yields.
Wild geese usually return to the Edo-Tokyo area in October and stay until spring, but Issa is writing in August, so this seems to be a hokku based on a memory. In October the paddies have been drained and harvested, and the wild geese go through the now dry fields looking for straw and stray grains of rice. They have been enjoying themselves and making quite a racket in the dark, but when the moon rises they realize they can be seen, and they suddenly become more polite, presumably quieter and less conspicuous. Issa seems amused, and the geese apparently remind him of humans who suddenly become restrained and polite when they visit a temple or pass by the mansion of a powerful person.
Chris Drake
oriyo kari ichimokusan ni waga mae e
geese, hurry down
as fast as you can
right here to me
Tr. Chris Drake
This hokku was written in the 9th month (October) of 1819, the year Issa recorded in Year of My Life (Oraga haru).
Looking up, Issa sees another line of wild geese flying south for the winter. Since wild geese fly south to Japan in order to winter in warm places, they tend to fly right over Issa's hometown or stay there only for a short time, since it's on a high plateau that's very cold and snowy in the winter. To get their attention, Issa addresses them strongly. It's almost as if he's shouting up at the birds in the sky as they pass over him. Don't look anywhere else -- look straight ahead and land right here in front of me as quickly as you can. Do the birds feel the depth of his desire to meet them?
Chris Drake
yuku kari ya kinoo wa mienu oda no mizu
the geese go north --
today they see rice fields
full of water
Tr. Chris Drake
This spring hokku was written on 1/21 (March 2) of 1804, when Issa was living on the outskirts of the city of Edo. All winter wild geese from Siberia have been foraging the dry, stubble-filled rice paddies in this farm village near Edo. Even though the area gets a bit of snow in the winter, the geese find enough food to stay alive. However, the local farmers have today turned their rice fields into shallow ponds so they can begin to prepare them for rice planting in late May or early June, and suddenly the geese have lost their main places to forage and their favorite places for hanging out. They seem to get the message and set out the same day for their northern summer home.
Because there is a cutting word at the end of the first line, no viewers are explicitly connected to the verb in the second line. This is normal procedure in Japanese poetry, in which syllable space is limited and suggestion is a main means of reference. Usually this simply indicates that the author feels there are enough details in the waka or hokku to allow the reader to infer who is doing what. In Issa's hokku, "weren't visible" implies that yesterday neither humans nor birds could see any wet paddies in the area, but today they all can see them. Since the first line makes the returning geese the focus of the hokku, however, the most important eyes are those of the birds. It's the geese who are shocked to see their temporary winter foraging grounds now covered by water, and it's the same geese who leave (yuku) for the north the very same day. The two verbs are linked: it's what the geese see that makes them head back north. To the villagers and to Issa, the now wet fields are a normal change and not a special sight. Still, to Issa the sudden departure of the flock of geese is no doubt a moving experience, and in the previous hokku in his diary he wistfully says that it has at last become time for the wild geese to return north and leave the area outside his door.
Chris Drake
kaeru]kari ware o kainaki mono to yo wa
returning geese,
have you completely
given up on me?
Tr. Chris Drake
This hokku was written in the 2nd month (March) of 1810, when Issa was traveling around visiting students in the area east of the city of Edo. It seems to be a humorous hokku using personification and tinged with longing. The wild geese are all leaving Japan now and flying back to their summer homes in the north, and not one stops to say goodbye to Issa. Writing of the geese as if they were his friends, Issa asks them a question with an ending, ya wa, that is usually ironic, and refers to himself as useless, a failure, and a good-for-nothing even though he is able to at least survive by teaching haikai and has gained enough confidence in his own haikai to begin his Seventh Dairy at New Year's in 1810. It seems likely that Issa's strongest sense of failure at this time was his continuing inability to move into his half of his natal house in his hometown.
After negotiating hard, he finally signed an agreement with his half brother in 1808 to split half his father's property, but in reality his brother and stepmother continued to refuse him entrance to his half of his father's house. Yet Issa was trying to do something about it. About three months after this hokku was written, Issa made still another trip to his hometown, so he was probably planning the trip at the time the hokku was written. With irony Issa seems to playfully scold the returning geese for giving up on him too soon and leaving him behind, since he is planning to return to his hometown again and again until he, too, can truly call it home.

Calligraphy of geese
against the sky --
the moon seals it.
Tr. Robert Hass
Into a line they wheel,
The wild geese; at the foothill
The moon is put for seal.
Tr. Harold G. Henderson
A line of wild geese;
Above the foothills,
The moon as seal.
- snip - Buson is likening a passing line of wild geese on a moonlit autumn night to a vertical scroll on which there is a line of black writing, and he is likening the bright autumn moon above the foothills to the reddish-orange round seal mark of the painter. He thus pulls the mind of the reader in two directions — one a real scene, the other the work of a calligrapher-painter. Hokku, in my view, should not do this. It leads, as I have said, not only to artificiality, but it also does not allow a thing to simply be what it is, to stand on its own merit and power.

How do the geese know when to fly to the sun?
Who tells them the seasons?
How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on?
As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown.

Kobayashi Issa
kari okiyo yuki ga tokeru zo tokeru zo yo
hey geese,
wake up! snow's melting,
it's melting!
This hokku is from the first month (February) of 1810, when Issa was living in and around the city of Edo, though he hoped to return to his hometown soon. In fact, in the fifth month of 1810 Issa went back to his hometown and tried to negotiate with his brother about their father's house, but his brother completely refused to discuss the issue, so when Issa wrote this hokku, he already must have been thinking about making the trip home. He seems to be very happy for the wild geese, almost to the point of envy, since they have their own home in the north to return to when spring comes. The geese faithfully return home year after year, but today Issa seems to have gotten up very early, while the geese are apparently still sleeping. Snowfall in the Edo/Tokyo area wasn't and isn't nearly as heavy as in Issa's hometown, and in February many of the plum trees in Edo must already have been blooming. Issa asks the geese to realize how lucky they are and urges them to make the best of the warm weather and fly home.

Kobayashi Issa
kari no kubi nagaku shite miru toguchi kana
long neck extended
a wild goose looks at me
through the doorway
This hokku is from the ninth month (October) of 1811, when Issa was in Edo and the area just to the east of Edo. The goose has only recently flown south to Japan for the winter, so it's interesting to imagine what it might have seen with its wild Siberian eyes when it looked inside the house where Issa was staying. Presumably Issa's eyes and the goose's eyes meet, and perhaps for a moment the doorway is more than a utilitarian space.
At least one of the wild goose's motives seems clear. In the hokku following this one in Issa's diary, the goose and Issa find they have something in common:
wild goose at the door
honk all you want
but there's no rice here
kado no kari ikura naite mo kome wa naki
For the readings in the first hokku I follow Maruyama Kazuhiko, Issa's Seventh Diary 1.194.

Kobayashi Issa
meoto kari hanashite yuku zo are yuku zo
Ms. and Mr. Goose
talking as they leave --
yes, they're actually leaving!
This hokku is from the second month (March) of 1816, when most of the wild geese that have wintered in Japan fly back north to Siberia. Issa's hometown was not located in a warm area where wild geese wintered when they came south to Japan in late fall, so this goose couple must have stopped briefly in the mountainous area near Issa's hometown on their way back north in spring. They seem to Issa to be having a very serious conjugal conversation as they prepare to leave, talking back and forth as if, perhaps, they were discussing the merits of staying longer versus continuing to fly north even while they are taking off. Finally, like any other married couple, they do manage to make up their minds, though they continue to cry loudly they disappear into the northern sky.
Issa uses an old Japanese word for a married couple that puts the wife (me) first and the husband (oto) second.
Later Japanese words for a married couple such as fuufu usually, in good Confucian fashion, put the husband first and wife second.

At Riverside, Alt-J still finding its live-show footing
Alt-J went from selling out the 987-capacity Turner Hall Ballroom to a venue change and sellout of the 2,500-seat Riverside Theater well before making its Milwaukee debut Friday night. The English act's debut album "An Awesome Wave" won the Mercury Prize last fall with its thoroughly original mix of arty electronica, folkie harmonies and alternative rock moodiness. In time, it may well prove to be a game-changer.
But live, could Alt-J live up to the hype? That didn't seem to be the case a couple of weeks ago when I saw Alt-J perform at Stubb's, a venue about the size of the Riverside, in Austin, Texas, during South by Southwest. It was supposed to be the band's big moment: a coveted closing slot at a showcase that featured the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. But the initially throbbing crowd had noticeably thinned out during the chilled performance. »Read Full Article

The role that education plays in gender, racial or ethnic stereotyping and discriminatory practices is widely noted but the heterogeneous positions of diverse cultures across continents are less frequently explored. The editors are particularly interested in papers that clearly focus on gender relations and issues of discrimination and marginalization.
Possible topics include: femininity/masculinity, identity/subjectivity, class, race, space, disabilities, age, employment practices, as well as post-conflict and peace-building practices in education. Education involves kindergarten, primary/secondary, vocational and higher education, with our understanding that education and training is or should be a lifelong practice.
Gender studies throughout Europe are increasingly focusing attention on the practical aspects of gender theory, and its applicability at the various educational levels as well as in various cultural and political settings. Less is known about the presence of gender issues in African education, and we are interested in exploring the difference and heterogeneity of European and/or African perspectives as well as the interconnection between European and African continents which despite their geographical closeness very seldom come in a direct comparison. The book therefore encourages single-country approaches and comparative cross-national and cross-continental analyses.
Articles are welcome from a variety of perspectives and disciplines. Perspectives on gender research in education from less represented European and African countries are of a particular interest. We welcome submissions from scholars, students, activists, artists and others who work or research in any area of education. We also welcome creative reflections such as poetry,short stories, and artwork on the subject.
Send your abstracts (300 words) to firstname.lastname@example.com by October 31, 2004
Submissions must be received by December 30, 2004.

General Motors is stepping up its efforts in the hybrid game with its second generation Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid pickup. The new Silverado Hybrid goes far beyond what the first generation "mild hybrid" model could achieve and instead uses GM's much-touted 2-mode hybrid system.
The standard gasoline-powered Silverado is already the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup on the market, but the 2-mode hybrid system -- which is shared with the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade hybrids -- boosts efficiency even further. The Silverado Hybrid can travel up to 30 MPH under electric power alone (even while towing) and still has the ability to tow up to 6,100 pounds.
The 300-volt nickel-metal hydride battery used in the Silverado Hybrid is mounted under the rear seats. A 300-volt air conditioning compressor is also used to cool passengers even with the gasoline engine is not running.
When all is said and done, the 2-mode hybrid powertrain boosts the fuel efficiency of the Silverado by 40 percent in the city and 25 percent overall. This achievement is quite remarkable when you consider that the Silverado Hybrid is still packing a 6.0 liter V8 engine with 332 HP and 367 lb-ft of torque.
GM also notes that thanks to the hybrid powertrain and its 26-gallon fuel tank, the Silverado Hybrid will travel more than 500 miles on a single tank of gas.
"The Silverado Hybrid is the newest example of Chevy's heritage of truck innovation, which stretches back 90 years, and exemplifies Chevrolet's commitment to fuel solutions," said Chevrolet general manager Ed Peper. "Silverado Hybrid will deliver fuel economy comparable to many small and midsize trucks that are equipped with four- or six-cylinder engines -- all while delivering the capability customers expect of Chevy full-size trucks."
The 2009 Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid will launch in late 2008 and will be available on Crew Cab models in both 2WD and 4WD trim levels.
quote: If you have such a truck or are seriously thinking about buying one, then the 40% improvement likely has your riveted attention, regardless of what the actual numbers are.
quote: notice they still don't tell you the actual milage? just the "40% improvement?"
quote: I do believe Ford is looking into a smaller Diesel for their F-150. I hope GM/Dodge/Toyota start looking that way as well.
quote: Because diesels suck. They are noisy, smelly, and hard to find gas for them.
quote: GM also notes that thanks to the hybrid powertrain and its 26-gallon fuel tank, the Silverado Hybrid will travel more than 500 miles on a single tank of gas.
quote: I am very skeptic of Hybrids - not the fact that they increase fuel mileage - but that the costs of a Hybrid in the long run are actually more expensive.

BELLINGHAM, WASH. — A year ago this month, an outbreak of E.coli bacteria poisoning in western Washington state sent hundreds of children to the hospital.
This outbreak, caused by contaminated ground beef that was improperly cooked by Jack in the Box restaurants, also took the lives of three young children, including my 16-month-old son Riley.
A flurry of news coverage led to brief national attention to the E.coli problem. But soon the story began to fade. After the first flurry, E.coli was treated as a local problem, not of concern to the rest of the country.

Were they as vilely slop-heelsy as usual?
Group 1 Men are on the ice.
Takahashi skated his program, no jumps.
D10 is on. A quad(?)
Ross did a full run thru. Hand down on 3A, 1 fall.
Rippon now.
General practice:
Adam had difficulties with 3A but did land a good one.
KVDP of course had the best jumps, including 3/3/3.

Yay for Kevin having good jumps at practice!! :D Thanks for the report!!!
Yes Skatebuzz rocks.
I prefer the earlier commentators to the two for Mens. Instead of finding the job tiring, Debbie was thrilled to talk skating non-stop.
2nd group is on the ice.
eta. The guys were so happy when Debbie came back to join them. "Thank God you're here!"

Who is this guy skating to Michael Jackson?! I've never seen him before...
The whole place suddenly just hushed when Patrick took his turn, including the commentators. I think they were all mesmerized.
He did a run through with the big jumps downgraded, and left out the last two jumps.
First dance practice just wrapped up.
Virtue & Moir did their FD. It seem's she's chosen to go with the red dress from Funny Face this time around. They looked beautiful, and were sporting huge smiles the entire time. It looked like they were really having fun.
Weaver & Poje did their SD. Aside from the fact that she was wearing the scariest dress I've seen in a while, they looked wonderful. Really energetic and quick across the ice, and it looks like their twizzles have really improved.
Cappelini & Lanotte did their SD as well. They were really in character and looked quite strong.
First group , dance practice...I immediately made obeisance a dozen times to the Skate gods.H/G have gone to black for their latin, I think..( at least that's what it looks like. They looke like a different couple. Kaitlyn and Andrew may cause them to have to haul out the fire extinguishers in the rink V/M..perfect version of the Red Dress.. C/L ..look much better than earlier vid.
I'm thrilled that they're really enjoying their skating this year!

Normally this is a place for yours truly to spout off about something that is bugging me or a point of pride as a Badgers fan, but we've come to March and for basketball freaks, geeks, and even just your casual co-workers this is the one time of the year that all eyes are on the college sports world.
It's easily my favorite time of the year because it brings out what's best in college athletics and after the things that have gone down in the past 12 months or so those that follow and cover college sports could use a reminder of why college sports are so great!
Because of that a good friend of our site and editor of The Smoking Pen, Mike Holder took some time out of the day to bring you our first ever Bracket Breakdown Special as part of our College Tournament Central feature on the MadTown Badgers Radio Network. I'm excited to release my bracket and hope the insight we gave you through our 2 plus hour special helps you figure out somethings for your brackets!! So enjoy the following episode:
Listen to internet radio with MadTown Badgers on Blog Talk Radio.
Despite the audio problems, for which I apologize, there was a lot of info handed out and I hope you'll enjoy it!!
Overall we're going to be bringing you a full look at the weekend that was and the weekend that will be in the NCAA Tournament every Monday night, so make sure to join us and chat about the tournament as we progress via blogtalkradio, so follow us there and you won't miss an episode!
Don't forget to join our Tournament Challenge with the winner getting some MadTownBadgers gear and a guest post here on the site!! If you aren't too afraid of losing, come on in and join us!!

By Dan Bischoff/for the star-ledger
It isn't just because the cut-up auto tires in Chakaia Booker's sculpture make the gallery smell like an auto-body shop that you think the rubber is somehow vaguely alive, like a thing coiled and waiting somewhere in the room. It's also because it's flexible, like flesh, and degradable, like people. In the sculpture called "What's Not," the rubber forms a rectangular mesh around an upright notch you can see through — it's a sculpture of an open space, a ligature of emptiness, not unlike a Barbara Hepworth sculpture of an enfolding womb but more sensuous, more tactile.
So it's probably no accident that most of Booker's one-woman shows get double-entendre names, like "In and Out," "Rubber/Made," "Jersey Ride." Her medium is itself sensual, a pneumatic material that we inflate to ride around on, one she freshens up for exhibition with a quick shot of Armor All that makes it glisten in the spotlight — please stop me, this is a family paper. But "Cut, Weld, and Build: Process in the Work of Chakaia Booker," at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey in Summit through December and in the outdoor courtyard until July, isn't meant to be framed that way.
"I really wasn't conscious of that, or trying to get away from a cliché, when I named the show," says curator E. Carmen Ramos. "I really wanted to concentrate on her incredible sense of process. Because I think that's what is so — well, just so amazing about Chakaia. I mean, the process of making, remaking, configuring and reconfiguring that goes on constantly in her work is just about unique in my experience. Just gathering her materials has to be an exhausting effort, yet she goes so much beyond mere formalism when she brings it together."
Beyond formalism is certainly right. In "Recess," rolled-up spheres of shredded tires, bigger than a softball but smaller than a basketball, scoot away from an unfolding chunk of rubber on a plinth like kids away from their regimented mass in school, each an individual homunculus, free in their release. And of course the material carries with it associations with industrialism and ecology; the way it is made to stand in for flesh only seems to suggest the paradox of modern life, poisoned by its very thriving.
history at work
But the formal ambition of her large-scale work, like the breakthrough "It's Hard Being Green," a wall-sized slab (it's composed of 16 plywood-backed squares covered with interwoven tires, tubes, and cow milking pods), is more than impressive. Like much of the outdoor work in Summit, it looks forward and backward at once — the historical precedent usually given for "Green" isn't Hepworth but Jackson Pollock — while still remaining entirely fleshly, and entirely itself.
It's almost as if you are witnessing Booker absorb aesthetic influences into her own body as you walk through the exhibit, clothing each formal concept in her flexible black skin. In "No More Milk and Cookies," an outdoor installation of 10-foot-long wooden beams arranged like rippling fingers pressed together at the tip, it's almost made literal: Booker's strips of rubber wrap each beam, like a coating on the elements of a Mark di Suvero sculpture.
Not everything here is made of rubber — Booker includes several pieces made of jute, woven like hook rugs and twisted into thorny shapes ("Liable" or "Together"), as well as photogravures of herself on the hunt for materials ("Foundling Warrior Quest") and intricate photo collages ("Sequestered"), usually using details of her limbs or distinctive clothing. Interlocking weaves, descended from Booker's interest in basket-making and African dance, are the technique that quietly unifies the entire show.
Well, that and blackness itself. Race has always set up countervailing echoes throughout Booker's work. The most straightforward analogy is to black skin, of course, but there are others, too — the African-American role in creating the auto industry, for example, or toughness itself, even the tradition of "Muffler Men," comic auto-shop statuary made by black people all across the South for generations now. These themes have been invoked by other black artists before, but Booker's muscular formalism makes them more like references than inspirations.
And that's the nub of her achievement. Most African-American artists seem sui generis, asserting their own individuality, maybe even their own claim to artistry, in the face of an indifferent world. But Booker has inserted herself into art history while utterly maintaining her individuality. That's what has made her work stand out, whether in the show at Grounds for Sculpture earlier this year, in the small show at the Jersey City Museum a few years ago or here at the Visual Arts Center now.
She succeeds on art's terms and on her own at once. And somehow that makes her race both more and less important.

When: Through Dec. 3 indoors, outdoors through next July. Open 9:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday

Indonesia to host major conference on disasters in Asia
In October, Indonesia will host the Fifth Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction as the region counts the cost of record-breaking disaster losses over the last year.
Indonesia made disaster risk reduction a national priority following the 2004 Asian tsunami. Detail of the conference was announced today.
"As a country which has experienced so many natural hazards, Indonesia is proud to host this important event and to share with other countries its experience in disaster risk reduction because we know that prevention pays," said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of Indonesia, who was officially appointed Global Champion for Disaster Risk Reduction by the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon last November.
Margareta Wahlström, Head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, UNISDR, who has travelled extensively in the region over the last 12 months to see at first-hand the impact of disasters at community level, said: "The Conference will take stock of achievements in reducing the impact of disasters and demonstrate through strong active participation of local governments and civil society organizations, the importance of their action to strengthen resilience, and it will discuss opportunities for partnerships for action.
"I also consider this an important opportunity to debate and plan for a successor agreement to the international blueprint for disaster risk reduction, the Hyogo Framework for Action which will expire in 2015. Asia will have a significant influence on what kind of post-2015 framework we put in place to protect economies and development gains."
More than 1,000 participants, including government Ministers and high-level representatives from 60 countries will gather in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, at the Fifth Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, October 22-25, to discuss how local policies and practices can make their communities safer against disasters.

There's nothing quite like thumbing through a paperback from the older collection and witnessing just what messy havoc a few decades of breakfast table reading can deliver upon its once-pristine pages. The truly veteran tomes that have endured everything from late lunches at the office to Thanksgiving Day marathon reading benders could probably feed a family of five for a month with the second-hand leavings so generously absorbed into their leaves. In fact, scientists I made up just now have determined that a single bacon-besmirched work by Tolstoy could support a teeming city of 2,000,000 people.
Gross, huh?
Bacon Bookmark Benefits
Come on, ladies and gents. There's a better way to keep your place when you're chugging through a new bestseller or classic favorite novel, and it doesn't involve pressing juicy, greasy, pork-based meatstuffs into service as a bookmark. For your consideration, I humbly present the Bacon Bookmark!
This useful doodad is crafted from sturdy card stock rather than briny swine, so it's free of the grease, scent, and taste of real bacon. Not only will this keep your pages looking as bright and shiny as the day they rolled off the publisher's printing press (or whatever fancy-shmancy implements of technology are used for making books these days), but the Bacon Bookmark won't distract you from reading with the fragrance and taste of real bacon that drives sane men mad and brainy ladies stupid.
Nope. The Bacon Bookmark makes sure you only stay hungry for learning. Mmm! Pass the knowledge!
Get your own Bacon Bookmark and keep your books (and brain) sharp!

In the United States, Thanksgiving Day takes place on Thursday, November 25. If you have U.S. customers, clients, employees, colleagues, donors, members, consultants, or friends, Thanksgiving is a good time to remember them. The national holiday is celebrated by nearly all Americans.
Why not thank your business associates with a card, small gift, or a nicely worded email? The purpose of the thank-you gesture is to show appreciation for the people who help you succeed or make your work life enjoyable.
Whatever type of greeting you choose to send, plan for it to arrive by Monday, November 22, or Tuesday, November 23, at the latest. The reason is that people often take the day before Thanksgiving off work, and few people work on Thanksgiving Day. Except for grocery stores and pharmacies, businesses are generally closed.
Here are sample thank-you messages to use as templates. Use these examples to communicate your thanks by note, card, or email.
1. Generic thank-you to customers:
Dear Julie and David,
Thank you for being our valued customers. We are grateful for the pleasure of serving you and meeting your accounting needs. [or catering needs, printing needs, shipping needs, etc.]
We wish you a lovely Thanksgiving and a joyous holiday season.
With many thanks,
2. Generic thank-you to customers:
Dear Friends at Acme,
In this time of gratitude, we give thanks for you. We value your patronage and appreciate your confidence in us. Counting you among our customers is something for which we are especially grateful.
On behalf of all of us at XYZ Company, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.
3. Generic thank-you to restaurant customers:
Our restaurant will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, as we give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives. Among those blessings are our customers.
We thank you for dining with us and allowing us to prepare memorable meals for your special occasions.
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope to see you again soon.
4. Generic thank-you to tenants:
Dear ___________,
We are very grateful to have you as tenants in our building. We appreciate your loyalty to us in this time of real-estate flux, and we are grateful for your flexibility and patience during the lobby renovations. We hope you enjoy the beautiful new lobby as much as we do.
Please let us know anytime we can improve our service to you.
We wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.
With our sincere thanks,
___________ [person's name]
___________ [property management company name]
5. Sample thank-you to a client, coach, or mentor:
Dear Dick,
In this time of Thanksgiving, I want to express my appreciation for you. Working with you over the past two years has been an amazing opportunity for me. I appreciate your high standards, persistence, and fine sense of humor.
Thank you, Dick, for the pleasure of working with you. I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with good feelings.
Warm wishes,
6. Sample thank-you to accompany a gift:
Dear Mr. Emmanuel,
When we think about the things we appreciate, we think of you and our work with you on the Maple Heights project. The project was a challenge and a phenomenal success for us--thanks to your vision and commitment. We will always treasure that experience.
We saw the enclosed new book on landscaping by ____ [author], and we immediately thought of you. Please enjoy it with our thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving!
7. Sample thank-you to employees, accompanying a gift:
This year has been challenging for us, but we turned challenges into successes--thanks to you and your fellow employees. You have focused on the future rather than getting stuck in day-to-day difficulties. You have worked hard to help our business thrive.
On behalf of the management team, I thank you for your accomplishments this year. We are all grateful.
Please enjoy the enclosed gift certificate as a token of our thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving!
8. Sample thank-you to employees:
Dear ______________ [name],
During this month of Thanksgiving, I have been reflecting on the things I am most grateful for. Primary among them is our talented group of employees.
Thank you for the work you do to make our agency great. You help us provide award-winning services to our clients. Without your commitment, creativity, and high standards, we would not be the thriving company we are. I am very grateful for your efforts.
I wish you a Thanksgiving filled with abundance and bright moments.
Warm wishes,
______________ [name of senior executive or manager]
9. Sample brief thank-you to employees:
Thank you for everything you do to make this a successful, terrific place to work. Have a wonderful, long weekend filled with good things!
Happy Thanksgiving!
10. Sample brief thank-you to employees:
You and your coworkers have worked hard this year, and your dedication has paid off. Every quarter our financials look better and better. Thank you for your hard work and positive attitude.
Have a joyful, abundant Thanksgiving!
If you do not have time to communicate by Thanksgiving, you can always save your greetings until December. This blog post will help you: Holiday Greetings Made Easy.
Update: Happy 2014! If you want more ideas and sample thank-you messages, get my book Business Writing With Heart: How to Build Great Work Relationships One Message at a Time. You can get a signed paperback with a laminated bookmark from my website. Or get it for your Kindle (from Amazon) or your Nook (from Barnes & Noble).
Enjoy giving thanks!

This weekend I had very little time to spend with the Wii U. I headed off on a holiday weekend, came back on Sunday afternoon, had a BBQ for family and friends, and that was it really. But something interesting happened during that BBQ. For the first time ever I got a chance to play the Wii U with a group of friends, with a mixture of people — some who liked games, some who didn't, some who could take it or leave it. It was an interesting experience to say the least.
This is the tl;dr version of this story: everyone absolutely loved it. We played NintendoLand exclusively and people were effectively losing their minds.
The real magic of the Wii U and NintendoLand (probably the only launch title that actually uses the GamePad properly) is how well it allows players to recreate childhood games in a space where rules are easily comprehensible and consistent. I think that's the real magic of the game. Take Mario Chase for example. Mario Chase is essentially a game of tag. The player with the GamePad is the one getting chased, by up to four human players using WiiMotes. Mario Chase allows the runner a full view of the map, along with the position of all the players chasing him. The four doing the chasing have to communicate, head the runner off. They have to conspire and talk and chase. The runner gets to hide, use strategies, run frantically. Have that claustrophobic feeling of the walls closing in. It's so delicately simple, easily comprehensible, yet perfectly balanced.
And this goes for almost all the mini-games in NintendoLand.
I think it's fairly easy to be negative about the Wii U. The third party games (in my opinion) are heavily disappointing. New Super Mario Bros U is just way too familiar to genuinely feel like a 'killer app' and there doesn't seem to be much on the horizon. What you can't and shouldn't forget, is just how carelessly energetic and hilarious NintendoLand can be with a group of friends.
I know I had forgotten. NintendoLand, for me and my family, will no doubt replace Wii Sports, it'll replace Rock Band. It will be the new thing we do when we're together and we feel like playing video games. Make no mistake — that's a hard gap to fill, and solid legacy to continue. And it speaks to the potential of the Wii U as a console.
So that's some of my early thoughts on the Wii U. Very keen to hear yours! Let us know in the comments below!

Success Connection #113: Trust Your Instincts..

Thank you Anthony.
Anthony, I like the idea of using my own instincts as long as I have taken the time to learn the process. Thank a lot!
It is hard to stay motivated when so many of your friends and family don't believe. I very glad you have these blogs weekly to keep up motivated and focused. Thanks Anthony.
Thanks for the message. It was one that I needed to be reminded of today. Everyone that knows me is saying, stay away from that computer! I've never expected to make millions, but some money extra each month would be great.
Have a nice weekend.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still trying to make money on line with you.
I agree with your advice. I like gathering different people's point of view first and then make my own decisions and take the responsibilities for them. Sometimes, it takes time especially if the decision concerns my personal life because I do not like experiencing changes in this particular area.
Furthermore, I am quite lucky because both of my parents trust me and even though sometimes they may not share my point of views they recognize under which circumstances I am happier and when I am not. They have always shared with me their own beliefs and views directly, make effort to understand my point of view and respect it. They have always looked for what is best for me.
Hi Anthony,
You are right, so many times friends and "well meaning relatives" prevent people from following their dreams that may have worked out.
Good information I really like that. Keep up the good work Anthony.
Anthony if you truely are the one reading this thank you,Thank You from the bottom of my Heart. Same for your kid Bro. I am just getting started, but i know that this is within my grasp. I am way more ADD with extreem dislexia than Adrian is. But I am doing. I look forward to succeeding.
Ps.Thank you for being real. And you Anthony for having patients. ADRIAN is not so much as you. But a good man.
Trusting you instincts is another key to building any business. People will try to sway you in other directions, especially family. This is a time to stay strong and keep doing what you believe in. You either profit or learn other lessons to make you stronger.
It's HARD, sometimes, in this faced pace world to (just) follow your OWN instincts. Thank you for reminding me to do so God bless you, in JESUS nm
Very good advice……and I always trust my instincts. People need to pay more attention to that, especially when it comes to their safety!
Anthony, This is a very important Lession. Many people forget there instinct..
I hear what you're saying about trusting your instincts. I choose to block out the nay-say people and listen to my own inner voice. I have learned that my inner voice and trusting my own instincts is much stronger than listening to the negative thoughts of others. Thank you for the encouragement, Kristin
Thanks Anthony Morrison truly because I was having some influential people in my life telling me that this online buisness will never work. Now I am just beginning still studying of the training videos and reading the books as well as looking for extra help from hoping I qualify, but they're word were getting to me it pains me to say I was starting to cave now i just believe that my family members and the others were just getting annoyed with me because I'm working hard to make this buisness work even know I'm still in the beginning I truly feel this will work and once again Thank you
I'm a return hopeful advertiser. Great advice!
We worry too much about what everyone else is saying. Life is too short!
I really needed this lesson at this particular time! Thank you Anthony!
I hear you because people will tell you that you cant do some but if you feel that you can you just have to block all the negativity out
and do what you feel is right. Great video!
We all know that little voice that tells us whether something is right or wrong and most of the time we ignore it and end up regretting not following our gut instinct. It is always right. I have not been doing we4ll with everything I have been doing in affiliate marketing,but I am trusting my gut instinct that you and your brother are the real deal and sincere in your wish for others success and that you do want to help them and that is why I cannot wait to come to the training school and learn right from the people doing it!
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts regarding trusting your instinct. I can tell you it is very easy to follow others instinct instead of your own. In fact, most of us are where we are today because we followed someones instinct if not our own. My goal is to push forward and never look back. It's like climbing a 1000 foot ladder; you are good as long as you can see the end and you don't look down. Once you look down, fear steps in. I think a good lesson to learn is to keep looking forward and go with your gut.
Your first decision usually is your best decision. I am sure that we have all heard that, but it's when your educated decision produces results that make you feel the best. Great job Anthony, you always seem so positive and that is why you are so successful.
I enjoy trusting in your instincts that you said.
INSTINCT, impulse, intuition, natural feeling, sixth sense?
Go for it. . . . .
Sometimes the only person telling me, "It's not possible" is myself. It isn't easy sometimes to ignore my own thought patterns and just trust my instincts, but it is very necessary. I'm still enjoying this review of the book. These weekly blogs really help keep me motivated and encouraged! Thanks again, Anthony!
Thank you Anthony for this technique! Trust our instincts is really very important.
trust is a strong word just need to get out of my own way
Thank you Anthony, for the information that is practical and true
Thanks Anthony, I started with some hiccup and with your kindness, except that mad thing, and the team understanding my drive, got that from your book and my personal life; the academy and I are on our way to building a life long relationship. It is sometimes hard with my now limited income and that may slow me down a bit but I cannot stop for my daughter.
God bless
prayers do get answered maybe not as soon as you want; Bible
You talk about trusting your instincts and following your gut. I feel like a child with a new toy, I keep playing with it and getting fascinated. I like affiliate marketing very much. In a way your words are candid, you share your own obstacles and how your family has been crucial in your career. Big things start small, you started small and that is what is inspiring, each of us can get there. I am still getting educated and trying to figure out which of the platforms is my thing CPV, Facebook… I can't wait to keep learning more. Thanks!
Just FYI The facebook icon at the top seems to stay in zero.
Great speech Anthony and very good ideas !
hi anthony,
this was a very important message for me.i think it will be very valuable to me also.
Hi Anthony, I am very positive what I am doing.. Believing your instinct is the most important thing.. I know once I get into anything for e.g this Marketing Business. "I know I'll WIN". I can do it and I know I'll… Thanks for your information… God Bless You.
In the beginning I mentioned to my family and cousins about how I really want to pursue in affiliate marketing and of course they all have said, "no don't do it, it's a scam, they'll steal your money, a lot of these businesses fail, etc, etc." I myself have thoughts of failure if it doesn't work out but hey at least I tried so I'm not going to let anyone change my mind. I believe I can make it in this business and like you said I do trust my instincts and will remind myself every day to, "Never Give Up!" Thanks for the great tips Anthony!
Wow…Anthony ! Everyone kept telling me that Cocktail Drums weren't popular and lots of drummers were not interested. My take was that I was going to bring them back in style and promote them. I brought my own kit…made a video and now I'm am on Drum forums where drummers are really interested. Your message confirms that you must go with Your Own Instincts !!! Don't worry about what others say…. Of course make educated decisions and research…but people will talk you out of what dosen't seem sensible to THEM. I Appreciate YOU so !!
Trust your instincts! That is great advice!
Hey Anthony: You always teach me the finer things about the business. This section is no different.
Hey Anthony,
I loved Advertising Profits From Home, but The Hidden Millionaire was such an inspiring, heart warming story, and best of all, it's REAL.
Thanks for teaching it through your blog, it just comes alive this way.
Have a great weekend.
- Carol
I realize how important it is to trust my instincts, that's why I'm here to listened to your good advices every week. Thank You Anthony, you will make it possible to for me reach my goal!
Thank you, again, Anthony.
I enjoy and gain benefit from your suggestions.
Thank you Anthony
This week's principle of "trusting your instincts" ties into and supports the other principles, such as striving for more keeps you from becoming complacent and having confidence in yourself.
I try to always trust my instincts, good advice. Thanks.
So true–family and friends knock you down so much when you try to make a difference in your life.. If it isn't realistic in their mind then they say you're a fool for doing it… Thank you for all the positive uplifting videos that you give us to help us move on in becoming the person that we see we will be someday… God Bless you and your family–thank you, thank you, thank you for being you
My wife got excited when I showed her notice of my first Clickbank sale and a few Google dollars recently from AdSense clicks . The amount is small and we had a little laugh about it, but she no longer thinks I'm totally nuts–a little but not totally. My instinct says I still have a lot to learn and a lot more effort to put in, but I know I am on the right path. Thanks for your inspiration Anthony. It's important.
Thanks Anthony, motivation goes a long way. you just don't let people crush your dreams.
Hi Anthony, thank you for all the advice. I fully agree we have to follow our own instincts. I hear all too often how everything on the internet is a scam. I really get tired of hearing it so now I really don't say anything about what I am doing. I like what I am doing and that is the most important. Have a great weekend.
This is very true. I was told before too that certain things that I wanted to do was not going to work. The decision had to be mine and I did what I wanted and needed to do for me. I have to trust my instincts more and more.
Thank you Anthony.
Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day to your dad.
Anthony, that's what keeps me going to succeed in this business. That urgency of NOW. The good vibrations that I get from doing this and being spiritual person. God has not made me think otherwise.
Peace and blessings,
like what alot of the other people say don't listen to what other people say, do what you believe in and move forward, this is my first video to watch and cant wait to see the rest of them!
Thanks again! Very true.
I'm glad I didn't join an easy crowd. I won't grow. No I go where
the expectations and the demands are high.
Thank you Anthony, you trusted in your instincts and become very successful. I admire the way you believed your dad and followed his advice
but along the way you discovered something that changed your mind and
caused you to go in a different direction. Something you had never done
before. That took a lot of courage. You had a strong belief system to go
in an unknown direction. You must have gained momentum as you went
along. It's amazing what a persons instinct can do. And now you teach
others what you know, A true leader.
Thankx alot Anthony i realy enjoy the topic that"s a good advice stay cool.
Just in the in the nick of time. Awesome That's why I 'm I here with you thank you!. I remember you for when you were on the news. Thank You so much. I'm wishing you all that is good!
Cynthia A. Chsium
Thanks Anthony for the encouragement!
Thanks Again Your words always give me the encouragement I need when I think that this is not going to work.
Antony: It is great having your Success Connection, and learning every time we watch you, Thanks You.
Professor Anthony, staying positive all the time and going on your instinct is a very good advice. GOD has BLESSED YOU Anthony! Just another baby step at a time. Thanks your student–Luis, TX.
Good advice I am trying to follow. Difficult at times when someone near to you does not believe it is possible. My instinct tells me it is possible bt sometimes you need to spend a little money to follow your instincts. Thank you for giving us less expensive alternatives to build our dreams.
Thank you Anthony for always being so encouraging. When I went to school computers were not in every classroom like they are now, so I am a little behind where I was hoping to be at this point. But am I learning it and will succeed. Love the Lead Gen Builder. Thanks
Hello Anthony,
It is very good that you have touched the subject of "Trust your Instincts" as one of your principle for I believe that our Instincts plays a great deal of making a decision (small or big) it's just a matter of listening and recognizing and trusting it for sometimes we got distraction from different voices and opinions from others when we are trying to make a wise decision for whatever it is in our life not knowing that – the little voice inside us is telling something ( directing) based on our state of life, but we tend to debated it and not just instantly acknowledging it…Perhaps doubts at times surface when we try to reason.
However, I weigh things considerably and possibly.
Great job discussing it in your video…Something we should greatly considered and applied in a daily basis.
Thank you and May God Bless you and your team.
thanks Anthony again great information
Thank you for the trust your own instincts. I'm trying very hard to do so. My thinking capabilities tend to slow me down yet I keep on keeping on.
Well, thank you very much. It's really true.
This is another principle that is so obvious but is easy to overlook in the face of all the 'naysayers'. Thanks for the reminder, Anthony!
You are so kind,earnest, it is truly the bright point of my day when I see your little face in my in box.
I wish I could make you laugh, it's what I was good at, in a previous decade.
Don't take that in a neg,. way,
Your face always seems happy. And it is everywhere. Too bad your so hard to look at. Ick. ~;o} As always, thank you for th einfo and the encouragement.
Thank you Anthony!
Thank you Anthony for the great video blogs. Anyone can make a successful business for themselves using these techniques. You just need to believe in yourself be inspired & have the right mindset & the right education to be financially successful in life. Write down your goals & reach for the sky. You just need the education & the right mindset & always of course choose success. Of course Anthony's books are also inspirational. Thank you Anthony for the great videos & the inspiration you are awesome. Choose success always.
Hey Anthony,
Thank you so much that I have opportunity to be your student,
I am looking for ward to learn more from you and your brother, Adrian.
I am trusting in your instincts,
Thank you.
Kong Sourivong
You are so right. Sometimes all you need is a little encouragement, Or at the very least, all the naysayers to leave you alone so you can try something on your own. Sink or swim, at least you can TRY.
Trust my instinct to reach my goals, follow Anthony is staying motivate. Thanks.
Thanks Anthony,
You are so right on that. I am taking a detour from my online efforts for a short while. I'll be back when I have some funding. But I am still tuning in on your blogs because they are so enlightening. I learn a lot from you.
Thanks Anthony this is great you got me hook
Anthony! thank you for a very educational mentoring video. My friends would tell me the same things. (you aren't going to make a penny)(its a scam! dude !!! ) Well i haven't made a ton of money yet ,but i have pulled in more money than Ive spent so far!! Now they want to know how I'm doing it.I tell them Anthony Morrison showed me.So this is very true what you speak. THANKS<
I know what you are talking about. People telling you that it will not work. When I joined your coaching program, I have people telling me that I
can succeed with this business if I just focus and educate myslf with your program. This is my instinct.
Thanks, William
Great message. I have people everyday that have doubt at what i do. But, I just keep chucking along and listen to your blog and do my homework and this keeps me going in the right direction. Thanks..
I thank God that you trusted your instincts, because when you're right you're right.
I'm sure you would have made a great doctor, but would you have been happy doing that. Sure, the good ones are needed, but with your success – you can help people globally.
Keep up the good work!
Be blessed.
Damn the torpedoes…full speed ahead!
Thank you for the information and the encouragement. Great advice !!
thanks again for this great info
Mr Anthony, I have seen all the emails that you have sent me. All I found I was very educational. But one thing is to listen and assimilate other. I am in the process of assimilating. Maybe I'm a little slow, but I will learn and I will take action in due time. I believe in your system and I have confidence in you. Thank you for your attention
I have only just started, so not sure what website to put there. Hope it is correct. I really want to go all the way with this business. I am going to go with my gut instinct. I will do the 7-10 hours per day, and still find a balance to be with my hubby. He is sceptical I know but my gut instincts tells me this ok. Thank you Anthony for being the lovely kind person that you are. I look forward to your next video. Bev.
Again, thank you and this may be the most important lesson. We know ourselves well, and we hopefully by now will trust our own instincts to do what is in our best interests by listening closely once we have been educated by you. My gut instinct, says this is a good fit for my intellect, personality, sense of humor and curiosity. It is also a good choice for imagination. I have ( and I am being honest not showing off ) really good ideas, because I like people and what they might like. I like to help people.
This will help us all. THANKS AGAIN Anthony. Blessings. Ann
thank you for reminding me I like that a lot Janice .
Thank you for your weekly blogs. They are very encouraging.
Yet another good segment. Hopefully, my "gut instinct" comes from the Holy Spirit. The biggest problem I see, is filtering through all the C__P that's available to sell. My gut gets a little sick. Persevere!!!
Thanks, Anthony, that is so true. A lot of times i fail to go with what my instinct is telling me because i listen to other people telling me it can't be done. So thank you for enforcing the usefulness of instinct.
Thanks for keeping me updated. Everything you said was true about people. Must use you own instincts.
Thanks it is nice to know that following your educated gut feelings when it bucks your external influences is a good trait for success
you are so right about instincts, there is a deeper part of us and that small still voice or that intution may lead us contrary to how we feel or what people may say is right for us.
I realy like your bookes and viado thy realy help.
Too many times do we miss out on our dreams because other people try to help us indulge their insecurities. I think.
Anthony, Thanks for an inspiring video to keep us focused & motivated to achieve our dreams..NeilB
Dear Anthony,
Thank you for reminding us to "Follow your instincts." I totally concur with your views there! That is what I am doing and I know I will be successful!
Blessings! Keep up the good work!
Sharon Ewalt
wondering if its real? Thanks for the encouraging words Anthony.
thank you!
Anthony, I like the idea of using my own instincts as long as I have taken the time to learn the process. Thank a lot!

McVEYTOWN - Who's got their hands in The Cookie Jar? The customers of McVeytown's newest bakery do. Owned by Mamie Yost, The Cookie Jar boasts 11 varieties of cookies as well as homemade pies, sticky buns and bread.
"Everything is made from scratch and, at this time of year, I'll probably be baking every day," Yost said. "I have cookies available all the time and sticky buns, pies and bread every Friday. The sticky buns are a real favorite."
Yost began her baking career making cookies for the Riverside Greenhouse's open house events. When visitors started asking for cookies to bring home, she set a price and began to grow the potential business.

Sentinel photo by BUFFIE BOYER
The Cookie Jar offers nine varieties of homemade cookies as well as bread, sticky buns and pies at the McVeytown location inside the River Valley Hardware Store.
Then, when her husband bought the River Valley Hardware property, they converted the salon next door into a bakery and she opened The Cookie Jar. Her homemade sweets can now be found in their own section, in the front of the hardware store.
In addition to the shelves of chocolate chip, peanut butter, raisin filled, oatmeal raisin and sand tart cookies, customers can pre-order party trays of eight dozen cookies. Each tray is made to order based on what kind of cookies the customer would like, Yost said.
The Cookie Jar, located at 5675 U.S. 522 S., McVeytown, is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. For more information or to place a special order, contact Yost at 899-6850 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Two ways to get what you want:
It is self-explanatory. All the PC's will need entries for the other
computers in their /etc/hosts file. Very simple and practical when you just
have a few PC's.
2. -------
named (DNS daemon)
More work involved and probably not "practical" when you just a have PC's,
but you run it as just a caching DNS server and also have your own 192.168
zone. Then you just point all your PC's to the PC running named for DNS
resolution and not have to maintain host tables on all the PC's. (Point it
at the DNS-serving PC in /etc/resolv.conf) Again, its not really
"practical" (unless, of course, you just want to learn how it works) when
you just have a few PC's, but it would and even be more "seamless" than
using /etc/hosts.

Queensland Backs Fortescue Challenge on Australia Tax
Australia's resource-rich Queensland state said it will support Fortescue Metals Group Ltd.'s bid to sue the federal government in the country's top court over a plan to tax iron ore and coal company profits.
"We'll certainly have a go at intervening in this case," Attorney General Jarrod Bleijie told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio today. While cases in the high court are difficult to win, Queensland received legal advice that the Mineral Resource and Rent Tax, implemented July 1, may be unconstitutional as it discriminates between states, he said.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who is meeting Queensland Premier Campbell Newman in Brisbane today, needs revenue from the tax as she bids to turn the budget to surplus by next year, when she's due to hold an election that polls show she's on course to lose. Her minority Labor government's agenda has drawn criticism from mining companies including BHP Billiton Ltd. and Rio Tinto Group and resistance from the leaders of the four states out of six ruled by the Liberal-National opposition.
"There's a stronger political game being played here than a legal one," Michael Adams, dean of law at the University of Western Sydney, said in a phone interview today. "It'll be very hard for Queensland to show it's been unfairly discriminated against." Adams said the legislation appears to have been carefully crafted to withstand constitutional challenges and seems to be "rock solid."
The tax will reap about A$10.6 billion ($10.8 billion) within three years from Fortescue, BHP, Rio Tinto and other mining companies, according to Treasury estimates in October.
Swan's Defense
The challenge "will try to stop the Gillard government spreading the benefits of the mining boom to hundreds of thousands of Queensland households and small businesses who aren't in the fast lane" of the nation's economy, Treasurer Wayne Swan said in an e-mailed statement today. He described the state's bid as "futile."
Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett decided against joining Fortescue's challenge as it was unlikely to be successful, Swan said.
Fortescue, the nation's third-biggest iron-ore exporter, is seeking a ruling declaring the tax invalid because it discriminates between states, curtails their sovereignty and restricts their ability to encourage mining, the Perth-based company said in a court filing on June 22.
Newman, a former army lieutenant, lead his conservative Liberal-National Party to victory in March elections after pledging to cut the resource-rich state's unemployment rate to 4 percent from 5.7 percent and restore its AAA credit rating. Labor's defeat left Gillard with allies governing in just the two smallest of the nation's six states.
Abbott's Pledge
Tony Abbott, head of the opposition Liberal-National coalition, has promised to scrap the mining tax if the Labor government is defeated in the election, scheduled for the second half of next year.
Gillard's agenda, which includes a new tax on carbon emissions that will help fund cash handouts to lower- and middle-income voters, has prompted criticism by business leaders ranging from BHP Chairman Jacques Nasser to Rio Tinto Chief Executive Officer Tom Albanese to the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Labor's primary vote fell 1 percentage point to 30 percent, while support for Abbott's Liberal-National coalition increased 2 points to 46 percent, according to a Newspoll published in the Australian newspaper on June 25.
Miners in states with lower rates of royalties than other states will have to pay more federal tax, Fortescue said in its court filing last month. That would eliminate a state's competitive advantage, the company said.
'Illusory, Inefficacious'
The federal tax will "have the effect of rendering illusory and inefficacious any determination by a state to differentiate itself from other states or countries," Fortescue said.
The company plans to almost triple annual iron-ore output from its Western Australian mines to 155 million metric tons by June 2013.
Last year, the High Court struck down Gillard's plan to send illegal immigrants who arrive by boat to Malaysia. Tobacco companies are challenging a law that would require cigarettes to be sold in plain packages.
The case is between Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. and The Commonwealth of Australia. S163/2012. High Court of Australia (Sydney).

JCSU Helps Urban Landscape Go Green
Charlotte, N.C. (July 11, 2014) — Johnson C. Smith University expanded its commitment to sustainability today by planting 31 trees with volunteers from TreesCharlotte and JCSU. The project, funded by Toyota, was sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. to kick off its National Convention in Charlotte.
The tree planting enables the university to be considered by the Arbor Day Foundation for Tree Campus USA designation by fostering the next generation of environmental stewards.
"Trees contribute greatly to the aesthetic and economic value of our campus," said Dr. Ronald L. Carter, president of Johnson C. Smith University. In 2011, the University worked with Bartlett Tree Experts to conduct a tree inventory and identified 915 trees with 66 different species on campus. The inventory estimated the total value of all trees on campus at nearly $5 million. It also identified willow oaks as the most precious trees on campus, with values ranging from $46,506 to $69,957.
"As an urban university, we are proud to join with our local and national partners in helping to expand Charlotte's urban forest." added Carter. According to the Huffington Post, JCSU is among five HBCUs that made the top list in sustainability by "taking bold steps to preserve the environment and build healthier communities."
The campus is home to a community garden and aquaponic system that produces fresh tilapia and vegetables for resale and donation to area food banks. The University also plans to house a Center for Renewable Energy in the new Science Center slated for completion in 2015.
