Colleen,

I love the work that all of you do at
I love the work that all of you do at Speaking of Faith! Thanks for the excellence and breadth of your work! I am now going to discover whether or not I am a philo fan:-) Keep up the good work! S.

Mr. Wright gets it wrong. There are any number of
Mr. Wright gets it wrong. There are any number of shooting himself in the foot moments to choose from but none quite reaches the degree of bald faced denial and equivocation than his dismissal of the role religion plays in the Palestinian -Israeli conflict.
Where the origins of the conflict are complex, its persistence and intractability can be directly traced to the absolutist positions maintained by the orthodox faith floggers on either side. If your god, unequivocally documented by his "holy" scripture, has designated you as the sole proprietor of the land, then there is nothing left to be negotiated.

Could the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Could the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have more to do with the trauma of the Holocaust, and the more general experience of discrimination by a distinct and rather successful culture trying to survive in various parts of the world, only to find itself persecuted in times of economic stress. Isn't it reasonable that some, not all, in that culture, would seek to establish a refuge back "home". The biblical "title" has been around for thousands of years. Modern Israel, would seem to have some other basis than that "title". The ethnocentric like the comfort of a political entity or ethnic enclave based on shared values and appearances. I don't condone Israel taking land. I think they should buy it for a fair price. Displaced Palestinians might feel less retailiatory if they were compensated for their loss and thus able to build a new life. Perhaps someone of German background can explain what that nation has done to help. Maybe I, as an Amerian citizen, can advocate that more of our annual aid to Israel be in the form of the compensation of Palestinians, instead of the latest weaponry or barrier technology.

In short: A fantastic race through beautiful countryside.In full: This was my first Half Marathon which was made very enjoyable thanks to the excellent organisation and marshalling. I can't think of anything that could be improved. The course is not as tough as the comments in RW made me think.Date of review: September 11, 2007
In short: BeautifulIn full: I loved this race. Although it was quite warm, the sun stayed behind the clouds most of the time and I was delighted that the last few miles were mostly through tree lined, shady lanes. Very thoughtful. The hills weren't much to worry about and the scenery was beautiful. Thank you to everyone who organised, marshalled and ran it. Worth the almost three hour drive home.Date of review: September 1, 2007

Long, steep hill in the fourth mile but nothing too challenging besides that. Well organised and well marshalled, thanks to all concerned. Only slight criticism is that an energy drink station or two would have been good. Nice t-shirt this time as well.Will definitely be back next year.Date of review: August 28, 2007

With ATM, you can scale your fonts without the characters appearing jagged, and you can also enable "font smoothing," which further improves the appearance of your fonts onscreen by using your computer monitor's color palette to intelligently improve the rendering of characters. ATM Light also allows you to print PostScript fonts on non PostScript printers, and can be used to create custom instances of multiple master fonts.
Current versions: 4.6 (Macintosh); 4.1 (Windows® 95, 98, and NT 4.0)
PostScript font support is built directly into Mac OS X; however, ATM Light is required for all other versions of Mac OS, including Mac OS X Classic.
The Macintosh version of ATM Light no longer supports Apple's GXGraphics extension. If you are using an application that relies on this system extension, we recommend that you do not update to this version of ATM Light.
ATM Light does not support the Apple Language Kits.
PostScript font support is built directly into Windows 2000/XP, and ATM Light is not required for basic font installation and rendering on these platforms. However, you must install ATM Light on Windows 2000 or XP if you use Adobe's multiple master typefaces and want to create custom font instances. ATM Light is required for previous versions of Windows, including Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0.

Taking nothing away from other causes that Paul has participated in such as Vegitarianism, Animal Rights and Genitically Mofified Foods, I personally think taking a stand on mindfields has got to be one of the best. These mines injury innocent humans beings by the thousands every year.
Hurray for Heather to turning Paul on to this worthy cause !

I am delighted with using this product. It gives me energy and helps in digestion. it is also very cheap in comparison to other shops.
Nature's Way, Organic Aloe Vera Gel/Juice
Posted by Reviewer1278426 on Feb 04, 2010
This product was suggested for my son, who has been suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for a number of years. It took time for him to get used to the taste; he is now regularly taking it and says "it just feels healthy to drink it." He will stay on it as long as necessary. We found the price excellent, but were more pleased with the freshness date of the product.
Inflammatory bowel disease
Posted by Reviewer1055106 on Jul 15, 2010
Before I started taking Aloe Vera gel and juice (six tablespoons/day) mixed with glutamine, I had an inflammatory bowel disease with great pains and I could not leave the house because of the many visits to the bathroom. Now I am completely healed. Aloe Vera has an immediate effect and after only one month I was free from all symptoms.
The best aloe vera...

This aloe vera product has everything I was looking for. It's soothing to your digestive tract and helps absorb nutrients. Also good to moisturize skin.

My mom (62) drinks aloe juice every day twice. She says that it helps to optimize her blood-pressure. I use it in skincare products I make myself, e.g., body lotion, deodorant, facial cream. I mix it with shea and cocoa butter, grapeseed oil, olive oil, and essential oils. I love it :)

WWII assembly
Dear editor:
On behalf of the students and staff at Tidioute Community Charter School, we invite all World War II veterans and World War II enthusiasts to our World War II Assembly on Monday, March 10, starting at 9 a.m.
The program will include recognition of Tidioute area WW II veterans, displays of WWII artifacts, veteran speakers, a skit performed by the 8th graders, and a swing dance like those of the 1940's.
We would love for you to be our guest. Your stories are our history lessons; you are living examples of what we are trying to teach to our students about WWII.
Your memories may provide us with true to life lessons. If you are attending, plan to arrive at T.C.C.S. by 8:30a.m. on Monday, March 10. The program will end by 10:30 am.

Mexican Volcanoes > Nevado de Colima (Zapotepetl) > Climber's Log
Nevado de Colima (Zapotepetl) Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|More demanding than I had expected
Date Climbed: Nov 30, 2016
|Went up Ruta 2 (east route/La Jota) and down Ruta 1 (west route/normal).
Having climbed some mountains of similar height, I greatly underestimated the difficulty of Nevado de Colima. The east route includes some minor climbs, but even after 2 weeks of sunshine, some parts were still packed in ice. Think twice if you want to climb the mountain shortly after a snowfall.
|Posted Dec 1, 2016 10:20 am
|Climbed the standard route "Ruta Normal". Got turned back by the Proteccion Civil one weekend. Snuck by them the next weekend and reached both summits before I vomited my guts out. When el Volcan de Fuego spewed as we worked a Class 3 section, that kept things mighty exciting.
|Posted Aug 8, 2012 8:45 am
|Great long hike
Date Climbed: May 21, 2012
|I took the bus in the afternoon to Ciudad Guzman and then to El Fresnito from where I walked up to the park entrance in about 4,5 hours. Slept at one of the cabins there (187 pesos) and went up the next day to the summit in about three hours. Great views of Volcan del Fuego! I then also climbed to the north summit, which is a bit of a rock climb. I went down Los Tubos back to El Fresnito, nice lush forest. Saw nobody else on the mountain the two days except the rangers.
|Posted May 29, 2012 6:38 pm
|Fantastic Views!
Date Climbed: Apr 21, 2011
|We started off at 7:00am from Colima and drove for a couple of hours until Puerto la Calle, then we started hiking through the south west side of the south summit the day had some clouds which was good for the hike, we registered with the park rangers and passed two proteccion civil officers that allowed us to go up to the summit under our own risk. We reached the south summit before noon and had amazing views of the Fire Volcano which was kind to offer us a fumarol!!!. We also had great views of the Colima Valley and Cd. Guzman. This I think will be one of the last tours before the rainy season and until October 2011. You can see some photos at NevadodeColimatour.blogspot.com and our other tours at AdmireMexicoTours.com/tours.html
Until the next summit!!!!!!!!!

|Fantastic peak
Date Climbed: Jan 13, 2007
|Spent the night in Cd. Guzman, and drove up in the morning to start hiking from the locked gate. We dodged the Proteccion Civil folks easily enough (the peak is officially closed, but we made it out onto the trail before they could hassle us), and headed up a steep chute on the west side of the peak--a class 4ish headwall at the bottom (spicy), then a fair amount of steep and at times exposed 3rd class to the summit. Great climb.
There were wonderful views of Volcan de Fuego smoking to the south, and seemingly hundreds of mountains I couldn't name in all directions, including the high peaks around Mexico City to the east.
We descended the south side of the peak and down a loose class 2 scree/talus chute on the SW side--this is probably the normal route (it's much easier than our ascent chute), as there was a well-worn trail there. It's a good descent route, but I'm glad we didn't go up that way.
This is a very short climb--only a couple of hours or so to the top--but it's an excellent peak nonetheless. There were many flowers out along the road, surprising (to me) for January.
|Posted Jan 16, 2007 4:57 pm
|Claro as
Date Climbed: Nov 28, 2005
|Funny reading about people dodging the Proteccion Civil guys and making for the summit. Views from the summit are incredible when the haze is gone, a very rare sight even in the dry season. You can see everything between Guadaljara and the Pacific, and of course get the best views of the crater of Volcan de Colima. If you're especially lucky you'll get a load of ash fall on you! :)
|Posted Jun 11, 2006 8:43 pm
|Route Climbed: normal route Date Climbed: Dec 4, 2005
|This was a wonderful mountain to climb. I'm especially interested in botany--and I got to see one of the highest pines in North America (isolated specimens of Pinus hartwegii can be found at nearly 14,000 feet--so almost at the top). As a whole (esp. between 8,000 and 11,000 feet), the vegetation is a hybrid of the western North American montane forests (pines, firs--though only one conifer species on the mountain is actually native north of Mexico), the Central American cloud forests (Buddleia, Bocconia) and some "in-between stuff" (live oaks, madrones, a few agaves and yuccas). Many very large lupines were in bloom (some lupines were 10' tall shrubs).
There was no snow as the monsoon had long ended (though there was still a decent amount of greenery). Volcan de Fuego was spewing out a small amount of smoke--though by the time I'd reached the top (early in the afternoon), cumulus clouds were making it difficult to view the volcano.
|Posted Dec 11, 2005 3:20 pm
|Route Climbed: normal route Date Climbed: February 23, 2005
|I went up with a local dude in Colima. He and another fellow have set up a sort of 'business' to take people up. I had no other people to go up with, as well as no car to get there, so i went with the one guy from Colima. I wouldn't have got there without his help. He took me right to the summit. It was a party. It's not a very challenging climb, but lots of scrambling, which is fun. It was a lot steeper than i was expecting, which also made it more enjoyable. It is a definite 'must-climb' if you are ever in the area.
|Posted Mar 1, 2005 8:47 pm
|Route Climbed: Normal? Date Climbed: June 14, 2003
|Emily and I drove up to locked gate at the saddle for the Proteccion Civil and camped there. The next morning, we walked around the gate and down the ridge off the road, taking a well-worn path. Unsure of which route we took, but definitely not the west ridge - believe it was the normal route based on the description on this page. Route is very straight forward and no need for a map or compass, but steeper than expected. Amazing views of Volcan de Fuego smoking!!! Very much worth the drive - rough 2 hours, but no 4 wheel drive necessary.
|Posted Jun 27, 2003 8:10 am
|Route Climbed: West Chute Direct Date Climbed: March 18, 2003
|Did a night ascent of the West Chutes while on a scientific trip to Nevado. Left the locked gate to the radio towers at 1915, fooled around at the Volcano overlook for a few minutes as it grew dark, and then headed for the summit at 1955. Summit time was 2045, and the full moon was just coming up --- no clouds, just spectacular. The wind at the lower saddle was 70mph+!
The West Chutes are the most direct way to the top from the Radio Towers, and involve heavy 4th class at times. Due to the searchlights and yelling coming from the radio towers after my departure up the trail, I elected to not use my headlamp --- keeping things interesting.
Returned by the same route, and was not intercepted by the locals.
|Posted Mar 20, 2003 8:36 am
|Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2002
|Did the West Ridge with bearbnz the day before La Malinche. Lots of fun --- too bad it's so short. The East Ridge looks like a fun, scary, longer route. Always grab both summits on this peak!
|Posted Jan 11, 2003 3:08 am
|Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: December 30, 2002
|Visited the mountain to collect more data, took the afternoon to cruise the West Ridge route, it is more fun than the normal route. Visited both summits, the traverse between the two is also 3rd class, but a bit more sporty.
|Posted Jan 8, 2003 9:39 pm
|Route Climbed: Ruta Normal Date Climbed: April 2002
|I was in Mexico helping out on a long-term dendrochronology project taking place high on the flanks of the mountain, and during a morning of downtime (waiting for a year's worth of data to download onto the laptop) I cruised up to the summit. This peak is not part of a range, so the views are 360 degrees. The only downside was the hazy air from the farmers burning their fields. If you're in the area, don't pass on this peak.

The Plot(Critical Survey of Science Fiction and Fantasy)
Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus is framed as a series of letters written by polar explorer Robert Walton to his sister, Margaret Saville, who is home in England. He relates to her his adventures, including a story told to him by a young man, Victor Frankenstein, whom his ship has rescued from the polar ice.
As a young university student at Ingolstadt, in Bavaria, Frankenstein is determined to find the secret of life. He studies constantly, ignoring his family back in Geneva, Switzerland. He steals body parts from charnel houses and medical laboratories, then uses the power of electricity to create a living being. He immediately knows he has erred: His creature is ghastly. It leaves Frankensteins quarters, but not his life.
Frankenstein next sees the creature back in Geneva, where he has returned following the death of his young brother William. Although a servant girl, Justine, is accused of causing Williams death, Frankenstein sees the creature lurking near the place of the murder and knows he is the killer. Frankensteins anguish is intensified when innocent Justine is executed for the murder. In his agony, Frankenstein leaves home to wander in the mountains. The creature confronts him and tells him his own story.
After leaving Ingolstadt, the creature wandered throughout the countryside. He discovered quickly that he was frightening and repugnant to humans and took to traveling at night and hiding during the day. The creature learned to speak and to read during a long stay in a hovel attached to a poor farm familys hut. During his stay, he performed many kindnesses for the family and felt sympathy for their poverty. He befriended the old father, who was blind. As soon as other family members returned and saw him, they fled. In anger, the creature set their farm on fire.
He made his way to Geneva, saving a small child from drowning along the way. Every time he tried to perform an act of kindness, however, he caused a reaction of horror. On the mountaintop, the creature begs Frankenstein to make him a mate so he need not be lonely. Then, he says, he will leave humankind alone and live with his mate in seclusion. If not, he says, he will be with Frankenstein on his wedding night.
Frankenstein promises to make him a mate but questions his wisdom. He travels to England with his friend William Clerval, then goes alone to an isolated spot in Scotland to carry out his promise.
He cannot finish the job. He abandons it and prepares to return home. The creature, infuriated by Frankensteins unwillingness to keep a promise, kills Clerval, then returns to Geneva to kill Frankensteins bride, his adopted sister Elizabeth, on their wedding night.
The tragedy and the guilt are too much to bear. Frankenstein resolves to pursue the monster until one of them is dead. He travels by dogsled across the snowy expanses of Russia toward the North Pole. He is picked up by Robert Waltons ship during his pursuit and dies on the ship after telling Walton his story. The creature appears and tells Walton of his remorse for his deeds, then sets off into the cold to build his own funeral pyre.

CANTON — Standing on the third platform inside the C.T. Branin Natatorium, Joey Long had a little bit of extra motivation. One race earlier, his younger sister, Gracie, had recorded her second straight 200-yard freestyle runner-up finish in the Division I state meet.
The older Long, a senior for Upper Arlington, then went out and repeated as the state champion in the boys' 200 freestyle in 1 minute, 38.43 seconds. After receiving his medal, Long shrugged and smiled when asked about the win.
After all, he couldn't let his younger sister have bragging rights.
"Second as a sophomore is pretty incredible, so I wanted to go out and win," he said. "I mean, she's two years younger than me — I can't let her beat me."
Standing atop the podium, Long also paid tribute to his eventual college with the help of Akron Firestone's Mark Belanger, Cincinnati Sycamore's Charlie Fry and Cincinnati St. Xavier's Jack Hendricks. With Belanger, Fry and Long committed to Ohio State, the four spelled out "O-H-I-O" with their arms after receiving their medals as the capacity crowd roared.
"They committed before I did, and I think Jack is getting ready to," Long said. "We just thought it would be cool since we're going there next year."
Gracie later earned her own title as a member of the Upper Arlington 200 freestyle relay team that finished in 1:34.19 and set a state record. She got the Golden Bears an early lead that sophomore Grace Van Fossen extended to nearly three seconds in the third leg.
"I saw that I had to keep up the lead that Gracie got for us, but I knew that this was very important to our team and I knew I had to bring it home," Van Fossen said.
Pickerington Central senior Maddie Martin, who will swim for Auburn next year, closed her high-school career with her fourth state title in the 100 butterfly in 55.37.
"I knew I couldn't get three and then not get the fourth," Martin said with a smile. "I feel like I was expected to win. I really wanted to do it."
Martin earned the title despite being seeded sixth and swimming in lane seven.
"I really don't think it matters what lane you're in," she said. "I was just excited that I made the final heat."
Westerville North sophomore Mason Miller held off Upper Arlington junior Thomas Trace by 0.07 of a second to earn a state title in the 50 freestyle in 20.87.
"I definitely knew I was with (him)," Miller said. "I didn't know if I was ahead or not."
For the first time since 2004, however, the Upper Arlington girls did not come away with a team title. That went to Cincinnati Ursuline Academy, which edged the eight-time defending champions 234-215 for its sixth state title and first since 2002. Coach Dan Peterkoski said he told his girls that all good things must end.
"For these girls to do what they've done for eight years is very, very impressive," Peterkoski said, his voice wavering. "People need to remember that. I'm very proud of what they did today and what they've done over eight years. Second is nothing to hang your head about. It's fun to win, but at the same time it's probably unrealistic to win them all."
Despite a roster of 20, the Upper Arlington boys held off rival Cleveland St. Ignatius 187.5-186 to earn their second straight state runner-up finish. Cincinnati St. Xavier won its fifth straight title and 34th overall with 270 points.
"We battled," coach Mike DeBear said. "Two straight years, we found a way to get that second place. No one is going to remember how we got there in 15-20 years, but the fact that we did, we swam really, really well for two days."

Exploring the Impact and Implications of Residential Mobility: From the Neighborhood to the School
This cross-sectional study examines residential relocation among a cohort of 495 fifth graders in one urban community in the Southeastern U.S. The impact of residential mobility is discussed in relation to student/family outcomes as well as the stressors placed upon schools. Results support previous findings which suggest residential relocation is correlated with academic problems. In addition, highly mobile students are twice as likely to be referred by teachers for disciplinary intervention and families are five times more likely than their residentially stable counterparts to be involved with child protective services. Implications from this study address the need for school systems, including school social workers, to look beyond the classroom to understand and respond to the needs of highly mobile families.

For Chevrolet fans the next-gen Corvette can't come around soon enough, but it's not scheduled to arrive 2013 as a 2014 model. While it's still a few years off, there is plenty of wild rumour and speculation about exactly what form the new model will take. Will it use a turbocharged V8 engine, will it have a retro-inspired split rear window design? Nothing is certain, but recent reports have been leaking out from GM sources that it might not be as exciting as fans hope.
The reports are stating that the design of the next Corvette will be more evolutionary than revolutionary. The design won't include anything as far out as a standard split window, and it probably won't be offered as an option, either. The rumored new 5.5-litre V8 may not happen and the new Corvette could push on with the tried-and-true 6.2-litre V8 as its base engine. The rumour of a mid-engine layout was always a bit fanciful and has also been denied. Continue reading "2014 C7 Corvette to be conservatively updated" »

(Colorado Springs, Colo.) - In his final competition before the Olympic Games in Beijing, Travis Stevens (Glenville, N.Y. / USA Judo National Training Site at the Jason Morris Judo Center) placed ninth at the German Open on Sunday in Braunschweig.
The final tune-up for many Europeans before the Games, the German Open is a B-Level Tournament which included 49 players in Stevens' 81kg division.
Stevens won his first two matches, beating Andrzej Umanski (POL) and Mark Brewer (NZL) both by ippon (instant win).
In the third round, Stevens lost by a waza-ari (half-point) to eventual champion Sven Maresch (GER).
Stevens dropped down to the repechage where he beat former Junior World medalist Tomas Muzik (CZE), but lost to Youssef Badra (TUN) to place ninth.

It was one of the most popular -- and endearing -- YouTube videos of 2011: a baby trying to use a magazine the same way as an iPad. But to Jeri Buchholz, assistant administrator for human capital management at NASA, the video captured a glimpse of the future workforce, a tech-savvy generation never bound by office space or rigid work schedules.
"Twenty years from today, that young woman is going to walk into our workforce, and we need to be ready for that," she said. "'We need to be ready for a workforce that views this device not as a way of not having to talk to people but rather as way to stay connected, and is perfectly happy waking up at 4 a.m. to do work from her cozy bed, without getting out of that bed, and perfectly willing to completely blur the lines between work and their private lives."
Speaking at the Sept. 25 Telework Town Hall meeting organized by Telework Exchange, Buchholz and her fellow panelists discussed how telework should be seen as strategic management tool in the government workspace, particularly in preparing for the next-generation public servants who have different needs and wants.
"This is the time to wake up and move into a 21st century and use telework as a tool to get things done," said Justin Johnson, deputy chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management. "We got plenty of room to grow by telework participation, but counting head shouldn't be the measure of success."
Once considered just an employee perk, telework has recently gained more traction as a strategic management tool. The perception that teleworkers are less productive because they're offsite and not managed by traditional means is also slowly changing, making it "somewhat ironic that telework is driving performance management, because obviously you can't manage what you can't see," Johnson said.
For the purpose of recruiting and retaining the future government workforce, managers, supervisors and leaders alike need to embrace telework and maximize its use, said William Milton, chief human capital officer at the Agriculture Department's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration.
"Our workforce must be viewed as our most valuable resource, and telework is an opportunity for individuals to have work-life balance," he said. "If we're going to retain a workforce that's going to be satisfied with their employer organization, and want to refer their friends to [that] agency, we must take whatever steps necessary to effectively utilize telework or we're going to have a challenge going forward."
Telework comprises a major part of NASA's "Work from Anywhere" program. The initiative allows the space agency's employees to use mobile devices to work remotely from literally anywhere in the world, whether it's at home or in Paris, Buchholz said.
"We're pretty sure that if your job requires you to be sitting on a console at midnight so that a rocket-powered sky crane can lower rover onto Mars that you will be there regardless of your work schedule or what your telework agreement says, and we kind of take that approach across the board," she said.

@Sorry Bill... Yeah right. Sure you do. I have an employee who used to work for HP. They did the telework gig in a big way many years ago and everyone in her unit was a teleworker. All the mid-level managers did was check on their employees every few minutes to ensure accountability and to help them with projects. Huge waste of time, but they obviously felt workers needed to be guided and helped. Anyway, now that HP unit has done a 180 degree turn. NO ONE teleworks without specific job requirements and circumstances. As always, the govt is the last to the party and just about when industry has decided their profitability and competitiveness is being hurt by telework, they changed course. We will in the govt as well, but since the govt really isn't set up to be profitable like a company, they can probably get away with it for a time. I've been through many govt initiatives like this. This is another case of trying to fit a square peg through a round hole. In a few years it will revert to sanity. It always does. But, I'll say this, I used to be brilliant like you. Now I'm knowledgeable about how things and people work. You'll get there someday and then you'll be "living in the past" but likely correct by then. Enjoy your trip through life. Hope not many competing ideas disturb your journey. BTW, last time I heard a comment like yours that you're "making mid-level managers obsolete" was during the Total Quality Management initiative in the early 90's. Who needed managers? Listen to your customers and tear down the barriers between you and your customers (i.e. managers were the barrier). That lasted about three years. Hopefully you will promote directly from worker to upper manager since mid-level will be obsolete. You can get your training to be an upper level manager online right in your home without ever really having to deal with people and all their weaknesses that mid-level managers help them through!! Teleworkers uber alles!!
Sorry, Bill, but you sir are living in the past. Just because you don't have the self-discipline and drive to accomplish your work without incorporating age old, mundane traditions i.e. suiting up and slogging through traffic in your polluting metal box, clocking in, locking yourself in your cubicle, etc. etc. doesn't mean there aren't a growing number of us who are proving that drive and inner-directed motivation get the job done! From anywhere! Sorry mid-level managers, we're making you obsolete. And as far as accountability is concerned, I'm fully prepared to face the axe if the consensus finds that my productivity is not lending itself to enough profitability for my company. This threat keeps me moving, so I get going to work, everyday, in my own home.
Telework is becoming quite the deal at my agency, I get so much more done on my one day off each week than I do at the office. I know there's studies out there that show teleworkers actually spending more time on the job and getting things done than those tied to a desk. May of the "beltway bandits" in the tech fields work virtually and are scattered across the globe, the most recent one I worked with accomplished so much more than any that relied on us providing them workspace and having them come in every day!
A waste of money. Many people are very close to work and the discipline of coming into work everyday is instrumantal in being productive and value added. Telework should only be for a few very specific circumstances (like long commutes, really bad weather,having a job where interaction with people is not necessary, etc.). If technology ever gets to the Star Trek ideal of holographic capability where everyone appears to be together, telework might someday be worth it, but with today's technology it is basically a productivity sink with no accountability. Plus carrying home the stress of work, is probably a bad idea for society in the long run. But, it is indeed a great way to successfully goof off and get paid!! But our bone headed managers will probably see this only as a way to turn off the a/c to save money and ignore the damage to productivity.
"Twenty years from today," you need to wake up and watch the news. The terror throught the world is managed today using various arrays of mobile devices. Those people are not setting at a desk in a New York or Washington DC ivory tower. They are controlling the real world in real time from real places!

An updated favorite for any terrain and all kinds of weather, the M.U.L.E.® NV keeps you hydrated while your back and gear stay dry. This narrow-gauge mountain biking pack has everything you need and nothing you don't—and its compact design means that it won't get in your way, even when it's fully loaded.
The NV back panel is designed to hold the load away from your back for maximum ventilation, and the built-in rain cover pops up to shelter your gear from showers on the trail. It's light enough to sit comfortably on your back, but large enough to store 3 liters of water and enough gear for a full day on the trail. We've also added clever compartments for stashing tools, keys and electronics.
Antidote® Reservoir Features: Quick Link™ System, 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fillport, dryer arms, center baffling and low-profile design, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening
Key Pack Features: Media pocket, bike tool organizer pocket, stash pocket, four point compression, stretch overflow helmet storage, removable rain cover
Designed to Carry: Helmet, multi-tool, pump, spare tube, extra layers, lunch, MP3, phone, wallet, keys
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
1. Use hot water and a CamelBak Cleaning Tablet. Or use 2 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach instead of CamelBak Cleaning Tab. Mix the solution inside your reservoir and elevate the reservoir above the tube and Big Bite Valve. Pinch the bite valve, allowing the solution to flow into the drink tube and fill the bite valve.
2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit in the reservoir and drink tube for about 30 minutes.
3. Wash the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away the cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube before using again. You can also use CamelBak brushes from our Cleaning Kit to scrub your reservoir and drink tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure you are scrubbing all of the areas of the reservoir clean.
4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry overnight so no moisture is trapped inside, which can cause mold to grow.
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

this thing is awesome
By Jim
from Seattle
I'm shocked to see this reviewed as 3.6/5! I used to have a Mule circa 2001. This this is LEAGUES better than the old one.NV back panel is excellentreservoir is amazingstorage is stellarbuild quality is top notchrain fly is slick and effective but..the clamp thing that holds the tube/bite valve location is off as the tube will occasionally kink and prevent flow. So really I'd give it a 4.7 outta 5

Awesome Pack
By DarkAlchemy 15
from San Diego, CA
I love this hydration pack. I bought it for Hiking around Mission Trails and other day hikes as well as all day trips to amusement parks. For me this pack is perfect, i can carry all the stuff i need for a 10 mile hike or a trip to Disney Land.The only thing i can complain about is that the zippers aren't water proof like the Gregory Backpacks. This isn't a big deal but its some thing i got a custom to while backpacking.Bought the pack in March 2014

Nice pack but slip's around"
By Trail Rider
from Grand Junction,Co
This was a replacement for one of the original Mule "NV's". The new reservoir's are much easier to close and use. The quick connect is also nice. But the NV "pod's' move the pack away from your back and slip around much more than my old style. I've tighten all the straps and it still wants to move around on desents. I'll be looking to replace it with something other than the newer NV version.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I'm a fan of most of the features of the pack. Don't count on the back panel actually keeping your back cool...not so much. And the rain cover...it would really be nice if it would stay on. You can't put it around the top of the pack because the shoulder straps get in the way. The shoulder straps need to be dropped down a smidge so the rain cover has something to grab on to.

The NV is a great pack BUT
By Ebbtide24
from Lawrence KS
The pack itself rocks I love the pack. I bought it to use hiking and biking for hydration and on that it falls flat on its face. I bought this and another bladder for my Gregory pack and they both leak and not just a little they leak a lot and are totally useless. I bought the pack at REI and they will take it back but I love the pack I just have to get another brand of water bladder for it, so this pack that expensive anyway now costs me more to make it fully useful. That is why im not recommending it to anyone.

Enhanced millage, pay attention now or pay later
I retired in NE Michigan for the relaxed atmosphere, scenic beauty, fine medical facilities, and great school systems. Unfortunately, some of the great school systems are physically and financially broken.
The enhanced school millage (Feb 26, 2013) is a "death wish" for NE Michigan. Three mills for 10 years will greatly reduce available funding for 911, library, fire, ambulance, roads, and other renewable or needed millages. We still have the greatest teachers and some of the finest principals in the business. When this millage was conceived (via a loophole) the School Superintendents, Business Managers, and Board Members jumped on the "Band Wagon."
I ask you, the Taxpayer, to call, write, email, or look them in the eye and ask: "What were they thinking? Insure their answers are factual. Then ask them what they have done individually, or collectively to inform/convince Lansing that public schools need adequate funding. Or is it so much easier to play the "Doom and Gloom" card to the parents, grandparents, extended school family.
Having a special election at taxpayer expense, when many senior citizens are out of town, with bad weather a possibility, would result in a low voter turnout. Governor Snyder is preparing a school funding bill for February. Our School Officials should be in Lansing fighting for proper funding; not trying to win over local taxpayers with "Doom and Gloom."
If this millage is passed, there is no turning back. We will be stuck with it for 10 years, to the tune of 56 million additional tax dollars. We will pay for it on our property taxes, plus we will pay for it again through the trickle-down effect with every dollar we spend. What's going on in Lansing? Where are the excess bottle deposit funds? Why a guilt trip for local taxpayers?

Farm Show shares agriculture's story
To the editor:
As co-chairs of this year's Farm-City Hub Club Farm Show, we're pleased that we still live in a strong agricultural community. That was evidenced by the number of people who stepped forward to take part in the recently completed New Ulm Farm- City Hub Club Farm Show.
As usual, we filled the arena of the Civic Center with a wide range of products and services relating to agriculture, and to the people that stand behind ag. We appreciate the effort put forth by the exhibitors to bring their products and equipment to the show. For many, that meant traveling long distances over treacherous roads Friday morning.
Although those same bad roads cut attendance on the opening afternoon, attendance picked up Friday evening and was very good Saturday. Show visitors had the chance to check out the latest trends in ag products and services?from large equipment to welding tables, from seeds to fertilizer, from banking to government services, from drainage to building demolition, and much more. Home and personal products were also featured.
For those seeking information on specialized topics, a series ofag-related seminars were offered by experts in the field.
The show would not have been possible without the hard work of dozens of Hub Club members who worked hard to prepare the arena; man the show office, safety booth, and food stand; and tear down after the show.
All-in-all, it took the cooperation and hard work of exhibitors, seminar speakers, club members, and the public to make the Hub Club's 33rd annual show another success.
The show was another example of agriculture being a driving force – and a very important factor – in our community,
If you missed this year's show, you might want to put next year's dates on your 2015 calendar – March 6 and 7.

Item: 153-TELESPY
Out of Stock
Discontinued - Call for Alternative
The Phone Alarm is an ordinary telephone that doubles as a monitoring system. Simply enter any phone number you want the unit to call and turn the motion sensor switch to on. Should motion be detected, the phone will dial the number entered and upon answering you will be able to listen in via the amplified microphone on the unit.
The Phone Alarm allows you to decide from a safe location if it is a friend or foe before you call the police. The listening period is about 30 seconds, then the Phone Alarm disconnects and instantly re-arms to detect again and again. The Phone Alarm operates from any phone line, requires no installation, and is completely portable. No monitoring fees. No false alarms.
The Phone Alarm's telephone is the same popular "Slimline" model found in millions of homes. Operation is no different than the standard version and the Phone Alarm plugs into any standard telephone jack for normal phone operation.
The Motion Sensor
The Phone Alarm's motion sensor is PIR or Passive Infrared Technology. The passive infrared sensor detects changes in the room's heat signature due to occupant motion. The range is in excess of 30 feet at which point the width is about 20 feet, creating about a 45-degree wedge beyond the sensor origin.
The Microphone
The hidden condenser microphone is strategically placed for maximum efficiency. It is amplified to insure that the slightest of sounds are heard, producing a high quality listening experience.

good hair gel
Posted by Reviewer3222635 on Apr 06, 2009
I use this product as a natural alternative to hair gel before blow-drying and flat ironing my hair. It works well to moisturize my hair in a natural way.
The best aloe vera I've tried
Posted by 5758276172785980242 on Jun 22, 2014
I like its gel texture because it's not sticky. it can be absorbed extremely fast! I mainly use it as a after-sun moisturizing gel
Great product !!
Posted by 4772693801560064790 on Jan 22, 2016
Jason is a relieble brand and contain tye fantastic rate of 98% aloe vera! I have used this product for 7 years, i highly recomend it. Perfect for after sun and healing wonds. However it makes your skin dry, the word moisturizing gel is a bit missleading. I let the gel sink in then i put my normal mosturizer on top to het rid of the dry feeling. Highly recomended !!
Posted by Reviewer2615559 on Aug 31, 2009
soothing effect is wonderful!!!!!! I love this product!!

The Jason aloe vera gel is the best I have found. I used to own an herb shop and we stocked this brand. It works so well to heal the skin. I highly recommend this product.
Very Pleased with this product
Posted by Reviewer3092462 on Jan 07, 2009
This gel moisturizes much better than the ones I have purchased in stores. I will be buying more in the future. Good value for the price.
I really love this!
Posted by Reviewer3307467 on Jun 07, 2010
I'm currently using it as facial moisturizer and I credit it with calming my face and returning it to normal. The first few times I put it on my face I applied the gel directly to my skin and after it dried, it left a glossy shiny finish. I don't particularly enjoying looking shiny, so now I wet my hands, add a dollop to my palm and rub it between my hands before I apply it to my face. I apply it under my eyes and on my eyelids as well. When it dries my skin looks natural and not shiny. Love it!
fabulous product
Posted by Reviewer1554606 on Dec 16, 2011
Cant live without it. this is what saves my sensitive acneprone skin on a daily basis, when everything else provokes it. wonderful as a moisturiser for skin that doesn´t handle oilbased products well. Great against sunburns and any kind of skincondition, great antiinflamatory treatment. Terrible as a daytime moisturiser since it dryes out and cakes. I use it as a nighttime moisturizer, and it heals up and evens out the skinproblems that accumulate during the day. I need to figure out what to blend it with so my skin is still moist in the morning, though. Great value for your money!
Amazing results!
Posted by Reviewer2910193 on Dec 24, 2010
I have used this on sore feet and wounds, sunburn, mosquito bites, burns, everything. Wounds disappear over night - never seen that before. Dry skin... everything. Magical. Even my skeptical old dad tried it on a recurring rash he's got on his face and said "i can feel it going under the skin and doing stuff - my regular cream the doctor recommended just feels cold and thick" He ended up buying a bottle himself.

Dehumanized -- Montreal, Quebec -- January 12th, 2013
Venue: Katacombes
Opening bands: Cadaverine, Obsolete Mankind, Crosstitution
This was my first metal show in a month, and taking a small break made it a lot more fun. I had got out of the habit so much that I forgot my earplugs, which wasn't appreciated by my ears, but whatever. When going to shows become a habit, shows like this one where none of the bands playing is among your favourites become less exciting. Fortunately, after my 13 shows in November, I had slacked a bit on them, and thanks to that, I was kinda stoked for this one. This wasn't part of any tour, a promoter in Montreal decided that it would be cool to bring Dehumanized here since they had a new record out. It was a great idea indeed. I got there during the last third of the first opener's set and the place was already packed. There were about 200 people in the smallish bar/venue, a turnout that pleasantly surprised me - I had no idea that so many people here in Montreal had heard about these New Yorkers. Now, about the show... I originally had the intention of missing the first band, Cadaverine, but I ended up catching the two last song. I found them a bit less lame than when they opened for Sapremia. They played an inconsistent mix of generic death and thrash metal, mixed with some stoner doomy parts, which could be ok, but the members really lack cohesion. The guitarist and the bassist seemed like they were on two different planets and the drummer couldn't make it tight enough to keep them together. Also, the vocalist is a huge douche who doesn't know how to growl properly (I won't elaborate on that here, but trust me: he's an idiot). Let's say that seeing them only once would have been far enough for me.
The next band, Obsolete Mankind, was surely - on a tie with the headliners - the band I was the most excited to see. They haven't released anything yet and this was their first show ever, but the members of the band had been talking about for a really long time. Let me say I wasn't disappointed at all; these guys, and girl, represent the future of quebec brutal death metal. They're acutally a kind of supergroup, featuring ex-members of Neuraxis, Despised Icon, Vengeful and Atheretic. They play a mix of savage, blasted old school death metal and hardcore groove (a bit like what Misery Index does, but in a more brutal way). The sound wasn't perfect, especially for the drums, but the band fucking killed everything in its way. Marie-Hélène, who used to sing in Despised Icon and Borborygme, has greatly improved her technique and intensity. Her growls were extremely low and her screams were piercing. One of the highlights was a slower song they played, that had a more sludgy/atmospheric feel, in which her screams sounded desperate and really painful. She's one of the best vocalists out there, seriously. Aside from that, the songs were blisteringly brutal and I can't wait for their debut album to be released later this year. They're going to be playing with Nervous Impulse in March and there's no way I'm going to miss this.
The last local opener was Crosstitution and it was my seventh time seeing them. Their performances have lost some of their magic for me, since they always play the same songs, but they still gave a fun show like always. For those who don't know them, they play a mix of old school death metal and grindcore, with a lot of chaotic guiter leads. Their vocalist always soaks himself in fake blood before going on stage and has a pretty unique persona when he's up there. The guy's really nice and pleasant, but when he's up there, he just insults everybody, telling the crowd they're pussies, among other things. Their sets become some kind of game where everyone in the crowd and in his band insults him and he insults them back. This time he even got thrown a few beers by some idiots who kept climbing up on stage. Having no security sometimes has its downsides. At least, they didn't cause any real trouble. The band brought on a violent assault like they always do; the vocals were enraged and the drums were pounding, though the lack finesse. Very good overall performance, but I just wish they would change their set sometime.
Since the show had started after 9 pm and because of the slow changeups, it was getting pretty late when the headliners finally hit the stage. They totally had the american brutal death metal band look: all large bald (except for the bassist, but he's new in the band - it's only a matter of time until he muscles up and shaves) guys with longsleeves. Let's get things straight: Dehumanized fucking tore the whole place apart. The sound was exceptionally good for a band of their style; everything was clear and percussive. Before they started, I was starting to become a bit drowsy, but the blast beats slapped me in the face hard enough. The slamming parts the got the whole venue go insane. Everyone was headbanging and the pits were violent. The New York band had made the 7 hour trip to come play one single show, and they didn't to be disappointed at all by their first canadian appearance. This obliviously reflected on their performance, enormous loads of energy and badassery were emitted from the stage. Dehumanized then finished us off with two classics from Prophecies Foretold; I can't describe how heavy "Fade Into Obscurity" was. Since the crowd kept yelling, they played another great song from their new album at the end. Let's say it was a very worthwhile evening for everyone in the room.

So good live. Must've been a killer show!
Full length release "Sentient" now available!
Awesome, awesome review! That's awesome to see that many people for Dehumanized. And you're right, it must've been great for them to play their first Canadian show and have it that packed. They seem like nice guys, so I'm glad it worked out for them.
"it's only a matter of time until he muscles up and shaves" . I can only imagine how massively heavy Fade Into Obscurity was in a packed live setting! I was considering going to this show, but when I found out they're playing w/ Devourment and Internal Bleeding in March, I figured I'd save the cash. THAT will be a show for the ages.
Interesting to see Marie-Helene has a new band. Always wondered what she did in the many years since she left DI. And I wonder what the rest of the guys besides Alex are up to nowadays.
I hope you're well. Go to hell.
Sounds like an awesome time, I'm not really familiar with these guys so I will be sure to check them out.

Leading makers of notebooks – Acer Group, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and Sony Corp. – are looking forward to release notebooks with stereoscopic 3D screens, a media report claims. While the initiative seems to be impressive, the actual impact on the market may be negligible in, at least, the short term.
Dell, HP, Lenovo and Sony are working with Taiwan-based Wistron on notebooks with screens capable of stereoscopic 3D image/video output, according to Taiwanese news-paper Commercial Times (exceptions from the article were translated by DigiTimes web-site). The systems should utilize stereo 3D technologies patented by Wistron itself, which is surprising. Acer is also looking forward a notebook with stereoscopic 3D screen, but it is working with U.S.-based DDD company on the project.
While the quality of stereo 3D technologies of DDD or Wistron is not clear at the moment, just like technical requirements of these technologies, it is certain that all of the aforementioned notebook makers (and stereo 3D tech developers as well) are planning to target high-end notebooks for gamers with advanced capabilities. But will the end-users take advantage of those notebooks? It seems that hardly, at least, in the short-term future.
The market of high-end desktop replacement (DTR) notebooks is not exactly high and presently this market is struggling due to global economic slump. It is still lucrative, but without mass production, any innovation make become a burden for its producer. There will be numerous consumers interested in stereo 3D-enabled mobile computers, but the technology is unlikely become mainstream.
While the cost of Wistron technology-based solution or DDD-developed technology seems to be low, advanced screens that produce stereoscopic images may require additional power and/or increase height of laptop, which does not add competitive advantage to such notebooks.
There are not a lot of video-games or movies that take advantage of stereoscopic 3D technologies in general. Without content, end-users will hardly opt for stereo 3D, especially on mobile computers.
On the other hand, it is known that consumer electronics makers are working hard to push stereoscopic 3D technologies onto the market in the following years. Their work may be useless without driving certain 3D stereoscopic technology to early adopters and technology enthusiasts. This may be the reason why Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Sony are working on "3D laptops".

For serious, our giveaways are just
getting better and better.
Today's is brought to us by The Beauty Brains the smarty-pants chemists behind the oh-so-informative new book Can You Get Hooked On Lip Balm?
This book is just as delightful and entertaining as its name suggests. It is filled with delicious factoids that we have all wondered about at one point or another. The book offers juicy little tidbits such as:
Do pore strips actually work? {Heck yes!}
How much hair loss is normal? {Losing .01% of your hair each day is normal (approximately 100 strands) phew, I thought I was the victim of early onset female alopecia.}
Do lip plumpers actually work? {yes, but only on a temporary basis.}
And guess what, it also tells you the right way to pop a pimple! (no more zit juices popping on the mirror!)
My favorite aspect of the book is that at the end of each section or beauty question, there is a "Bottom Line" which gives you the facts in layman's terms (i.e. YAY or NAY). I love reading scientific stuff that I can understand.

Based on the blog at TheBeautyBrains.com, this informative book cuts through the confusing, misleading, and sometimes false information that beauty companies bombard consumers with and provides scientific answers to hundreds of questions about cosmetics.
About The Beauty Brains
The Beauty Brains are a group of chemists who have more than 40 combined years of experience developing and testing beauty products at major cosmetic companies including Proctor & Gamble, Unilever and Alberto Culver. Perry Romanowski, the public face of the Brains, has spent the past 18 years researching and developing products to solve consumer problems in hair and skin care. He is also the coauthor of Beginning Cosmetic Chemistry, an introductory textbook of beauty science.
1. Curling Shampoos Don't Work!
2. Wearing the right fragrance can actually make people think you have lost weight.
3. While brushing your hair does temporarily help distribute natural oils, in the long run brushing "100 strokes every night" strips layers of cuticle and weakens hair.
4. There is no proof that tourmaline flat irons perform any better than the less expensive non-ceramic versions.
5. Sunscreen is one of the best cosmetics you can use to keep your skin looking young and wrinkle-free.
6. Spit on a zit may not be an old wives' tale after all!
7. There is a difference between antiperspirant and deodorant. Antiperspirant actually stops you from sweating, while deodorant just masks the odor.
8. No cosmetic will make your nails grow longer and stronger, but you can do things to improve their condition.
9. Urea is found in cosmetics, but it does not come from urine!
10. Multiple types of parabens are used in formulas to ensure that your personal care and cosmetic products are as free as possible from disease-causing microbes.

Knights of Columbus auction Sunday
TUPPER LAKE – The Knights of Columbus will hold its annual fundraising auction Sunday.
The big item up for bid this year is a fiberglass motor boat donated by a local resident. It's a 16-foot 1976 Glastron with a 160-horsepower inboard/outboard motor, with a trailer included.
The event will be held at the former Holy Ghost Academy on Marion Avenue. Doors open at 9 a.m. for a flea market, which organizer Terry Doolen said will feature a variety of goods.
The event begins at noon, and a number of items will be auctioned in addition to the boat, including gift certificates donated by local businesses.
The K of C will also raffle off a combination gas/charcoal grill, and cash prizes will be awarded every hour from 1 to 4 p.m. Breakfast and lunch will be available for sale.
The event will benefit the Guggenheim Summer Camp Scholarship Fund, the Catholic Community Youth Group and the K of C Home Association and Community Programs.
