Donati, called "the super bi- gamist" by Italian newspapers was arrested at the door of the Church of San Clemente Oct. 10, 1964, as he was about to marry a sixth wife.

His second marriage to Leonilde. Pace in Milan in 1054 and his third to Gilda Ga- brielli in Merano in 1962 were ruled invalid because he was al- ready married.

By LEWIS GULICK Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Cuba's sugar output is expected here lo fall as much as 2 million metric tons short, this year, of the 10 million ton goal sel by Prime Minister Fidel Castro, and prospects as to when he may reach this target in UK fu- ture remain in. doubt.

Politically, Castro's image will suffer from failure to achieve Ihe 10-m ill ion-ton goal on which he.had publicly staked "the honor of the Cuban revolu- tion." But whether this will translate into more active dis- content by the islanders is con- jectural, Castro himself acknowledged in a Havana speech last week that despite an all-out harvest- ing effort, Cuba's sugar output would fail to reach his widely proclaimed target. He indicated il mighl not even reach 9 mil- lion tons.

First post. It's been at least ten years since I have done a multi night hike. I now have 2 girls ages 8 and 10 and would like to take them on a trip. We live near tucson and are willing to drive 5-8 hours in order to get somewhat out of the desert and do a 3-5 day overnight hike.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Thank you.
@smeierLocale: Midwest
I don't have any specific recommendations on locations or trails but some general advice as the father of five that has been taking them out for years–be sure to end each day by some kind of body of water. They will walk in it, splash in it, turn over rocks and discover creatures and be completely content while you set up camp, cook dinner and recover from a day of pushing them along. You can thank me later. And oh yeah, you will build the best memories of your life!
@stevetLocale: Northeast
Stay near home. Saguaro National Park, Reddington Pass to Manning Camp to Miller Creek. Good for 3-4 days.
Or the Chiricahuas, Rustler Park to Anita Park. Basecamp and dayhike to a few of the stunning overlooks.
Or if insist on driving, Durango. Take the train to Needleton, hike into Chicago Basin, basecamp and bag a couple 14'ers.
Listed in order of increasing difficulty. I don't know how capable your girls are as backpackers, but if they are active, involved for example in youth soccer, these should all be within reach.

The Blue Ocean Strategy gives important insights regarding how to create new market space in uncontested markets thereby making the competition irrelevant. This strategy can be adopted to explain the significance of agile methodologies as compared to the Waterfall method of software development.
Blue Ocean Strategy is a business strategy that was initially published in a book, Blue Ocean Strategy in 2005 by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne of The Blue Ocean Strategy Institute at INSEAD, one of the top European business schools. The focus is on the creation of high growth and profits an organization can generate by creating new demand in an uncontested market space, or a "Blue Ocean", than by competing head-to-head with other suppliers for known customers in an existing industry ("Red Ocean"). Based on 15 years of research, the authors used 150 successful strategic moves spanning 120 years of business history and across 30 industries to bring the Blue Ocean Strategy theory to life.
Agile Software Development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development , where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams . Agile methods generally promote a disciplined project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organization and accountability, a set of engineering best practices intended to allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software and a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals. The earliest agile beginnings were initiated in the 1960's and over a period of about 40 years, it has evolved considerably and it is now beginning to develop as the mainstream software development methodology across the IT industry.
There are many specific agile development methods. Most promote development, teamwork, collaboration, and process adaptability throughout the life-cycle of the project. Some of the popular agile methods are Scrum, XP, DSDM, Adaptive Software Development, Feature Driven Development (FDD) and other methods.
The earlier method used was termed the Waterfall approach to software development where the software product/service evolved based on a series of steps starting from requirements, analysis and design, code, test and deploy in a sequential manner as part of the software development lifecycle. The Waterfall method is still being used for software development and it is effective when there are no changes proposed in the software being developed. However, in the real life scenario, this does not work well for commercial and application software development where there are constant changes in the software being developed due to customer requested changes or on account of other factors like technological changes, changes in the industrial and business scenario and other factors.
The Blue Ocean Strategy gives important insights regarding how to create new market space in uncontested markets thereby making the competition irrelevant. There is no reason why this strategy cannot be adopted for explaining the significance of the usage of agile methodologies as compared to the Waterfall method of software development in commercial software development where the request for changes from the customer is very high.
The interesting aspect of viewing the agile software development methodology under the Blue Ocean Strategy framework highlights some very interesting points that are at the same time quite intuitive and also rational.
One of the important analytical tools and frameworks provided by the Blue Ocean Strategy is the Strategy Canvas and the Value Curve. These tools help to define the characteristics of the organization with respect to important factors affecting the organization and help the organizations regarding how to create new markets.
By applying a similar technique to the agile method of software development, we can derive the Strategy Canvas and Value Curves for the Agile and Waterfall method of software development based on ten important parameters that factor in all the important requirements regarding the usage of the two methods (Figure – 1).

Today we recognise not one but two outstanding contributions to society in 2006 as our New Zealander of the Year. A cop-out? No, an acknowledgment of courage and achievement which our judging panel just could not separate.
The award is shared by a man and a woman who stood their ground for taxpayers and consumers in the face of power and pressure from entrenched interests: Kevin Brady, the Controller and Auditor-General, who faced unprecedented public, political and personal pressure over his findings on political parties' election spending; and Paula Rebstock, chairwoman of the Commerce Commission, who took on some of the country's biggest corporations and institutions, to the benefit of consumers.
In both cases the determination of these officials to focus on the greater public good rather than expedient or comfortable solutions sought by their antagonists had tangible benefits for New Zealand. In plain terms, they kept the buggers honest.
Paula Rebstock's Commerce Commission this year intervened in the affairs of some of our largest businesses, including Telecom, Transpower and Vector, the airlines over advertising, Carter Holt Harvey, the banks and credit card companies. At times those moves were controversial, condemned by business lobbies as heavy-handed and a disincentive to investment in this country.
Yet the reasoning of the commission under Ms Rebstock was consistently pro-market, not the reverse. Her actions helped to confront distortions or dominance which either did or could work against the interests of consumers and open markets. For many years New Zealand was a Wild West of ineffective regulation. This commission chairwoman has firmly wiped that perception from our economy.
Mr Brady's unwavering line on political parties' misspending at the last general election placed him in the equivalent of an official's nightmare - cast as an opponent of the governing parties and publicly attacked for both his thinking and for speaking out. To his everlasting credit, he stayed true to his convictions on the Labour Party's $800,000 of unlawful spending and produced a final report that did not suffer from the watering down so common in the public consultation process. The Prime Minister, her deputy, Cabinet ministers and, to their shame, the leaders of some minor parties, used all the latent menace and pressure they could muster, but Mr Brady, an officer of Parliament, continued to say what he felt to be right. His stance will have a lasting benefit for taxpayers and voters. Election spending rules will be tightened and the blurring of parliamentary funds and parties' own money must end.
Paula Rebstock and Kevin Brady head our list, but eight others who showed notable spirit or achievement for the benefit of the public are also saluted. These 10 came from a long shortlist of around 55 people who were considered by the panel of senior editors. This exercise is always subjective and, of course, open to challenge. Yet the final 10 have all achieved and/or contributed to New Zealand's year in remarkable ways. We have taken an open view on the technicality of New Zealandness: For example, Paula Rebstock is originally from North America and Anita McNaught is British and resident in London.
The panel also took an independent view from the separate judging of the Herald's sportsperson and business person of the year. As it happens, those honoured in both those categories are not in the overall final 10. This does not diminish their achievement, but others were deemed to have had a broader constituency for what they brought to 2006.
Once again, we have excluded politicians. Their omnipresence in our lives and our media means that, for good and bad, they dominate public life.
Today we look beyond that to those who inspire, with big hearts and a courageous nerve.

A high-ranking Canadian politician will meet with Haiti's prime minister for the first time since he called into question aid efforts in the Caribbean nation.
Julian Fantino, Canada's international co-operation minister, will sit down Friday in Washington, D.C., with Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and officials from several international donors, The Canadian Press has learned.
It will be the first face-to-face talks between Fantino and Lamothe since the former Ontario Provincial Police chief made a surprise announcement in January that Ottawa had halted funding for new development projects in Haiti.
Fantino said his office would not initiate new projects until it had reviewed its Haiti assistance program. He stated that Canadian aid would not be a "blank cheque."
The announcement followed Fantino's November visit to the impoverished nation, where he said he left disappointed over the lack of progress. Fantino has said he wants to find a better way to help Haiti's reconstruction.
The Washington meeting on Friday will examine "donor co-ordination" and "mechanisms to ensure greater accountability" with the Haitian government, Fantino says.
"So that Canadian tax dollars are achieving lasting results for the people of Haiti," Fantino said, in an email sent by his office.
"Canada continues to make progress on areas of long-term development that we have previously committed to, and we will continue to support the people of Haiti during times of humanitarian crisis."
A government source said Fantino convened the get-together — which is expected to include representatives from the United States, France, Spain, Brazil, United Nations, the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank.
The gathering comes as government officials from around the world meet in Washington for International Monetary Fund and World Bank conferences.
The Canadian government has spent $1 billion on development and humanitarian assistance in Haiti since 2006, and the island nation is one of the biggest recipients of Canada's foreign aid.
The Ontario MP's January announcement that Canada would take a break from starting new aid projects appeared to catch international partners off guard.
The pause, which first surfaced in comments Fantino made to the Montreal La Presse newspaper, drew criticism from the U.S. State Department and the United Nations.
One of the U.S. State Department's top Haiti officials said it viewed Canada as a valued partner in the country and didn't want it to change any of its programs.
A senior Haiti official for the United Nations Development Program said there was more going on in Haiti than Fantino might have noticed during his first trip to the country.
Fantino's Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has announced that funding for ongoing projects in Haiti would continue during the review which, meanwhile, has put a halt on new projects.
In the La Presse interview, Fantino also compared Haiti's terrible state with much-better conditions in the neighbouring Dominican Republic. The two nations share the island of Hispaniola.
He remarked about the filth and garbage he saw and he wondered how a country with so many unemployed people had not found a way to clean it up.
Fantino's remarks were published just days before the third anniversary of the powerful earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people in Haiti and left more than 1.5 million homeless. Haiti is still struggling to rebuild from the January 2010 disaster.
Following the quake, a deadly cholera outbreak in Haiti killed thousands of people. The island was also battered by the high winds and heavy rains of hurricane Sandy last fall.
In response to Fantino's announcement, Haiti's prime minister urged Ottawa to allow his government to assume a bigger role in reconstruction decisions.
Lamothe, who acknowledged he was also disappointed with the slow rebuilding process, said he would ask Ottawa to focus on Haitian government priorities once co-operation between the two countries resumed.
He said the ongoing approach of funnelling most international aid directly to non-government organizations — skirting the Haitian government — further weakens the country's institutions.
A Canadian expert on international aid said he agrees with Ottawa's decision to review its commitments to Haiti, even though he believes many projects there have produced excellent results.
"I think it's... important to be sure that we don't invest this much money in Haiti without having some kind of assessment," said Francois Audet, scientific director of the Canadian Research Institute on Humanitarian Crisis and Aid.
Audet, however, thinks Ottawa should have consulted with its partners first, including the Haitian government, before making the sudden announcement.
"I think that was a mistake, mainly," said Audet, a professor at Universite du Quebec a Montreal.
Moving forward, he said it's time the international community considered going beyond the status quo in its rebuilding plans for Haiti.
The key is finding the best way to do it, he said.
Experts, Audet added, are divided on whether reconstruction responsibilities should be handed over to the Haitian government or whether an international presence should remain on the ground.
He said he has frequently changed his own mind on this very question.
"If I had an easy response, I would probably win the Nobel Prize," said Audet, a former humanitarian worker who spent years in Haiti.
Government corruption is often cited in the debate over whether to allow Haiti to oversee how international-development cash is spent on its soil.
Audet noted that while it likely remains a problem in Haiti, he doubts any money skimmed by high-level officials there could be blamed for the poor overall results.
He added that corruption isn't just a Haitian problem, but more of a human problem.
"With what we are looking (at) now in Montreal, I don't think we have any lessons to give to any country around the world right now," he said, referring to corruption and collusion scandals that have emerged recently in Quebec.Report Typo/Error

Foundations (Chattanooga & Nashville)
Even though I am already in Atlanta, I offer this recap of my week in Chattanooga. It was a week unlike any other I have had on this trip because I finally got to put my feet up and stop walking.
Evatt-dently home
My home base while in Chattanooga was with my grandmother's youngest sister Jeanette Evatt and her husband Bill. They have been such an integral part of this trip, both as hosts and as supporters, that there are not sufficient words for me to thank them. After 79 days of unrelenting travel, with only a single rest day per week, it felt restorative to unpack my bags in their extra room and stay in one place for six complete days.
Bill & Jeanette have four children, all with families of their own, and on the Sunday I arrived 16 of the Evatt family came for a joint celebration. My arrival in Chattanooga coincided with my great aunt Theda's 86th birthday. Theda was the fifth child of Mama and Papa Freeland and the next born after my grandmother. I dare say it is much easier to walk 1,000 miles than it is to live 86 years with the kind of selfless compassion that Theda has always shown her friends and family, myself definitely included. Her milestone was thus more noteworthy than mine, but I was glad we could celebrate together, not only on Sunday night, but on Monday as well when I joined her and her husband Chic for a birthday lunch across town.
As with all the gatherings and celebrations on this walk, I insisted that we all gather for a group picture on Sunday night. With a total of 19 of us herded into the frame it temporarily set a record for largest group picture of my walk. It was a mark that would only last four days before being matched by the Nashville side of the family.
For You, It's Free
On Monday I decided I needed a haircut. The sides and back of my hair had long since mutinied and overturned the dictatorial order my Russian barber last instituted three and a half months ago. I figured that if I didn't get at least a trim before arriving in New Orleans someone might be tempted to give me an unflattering nickname along the way - possibly Grizzly Poorman or Garth Crusoe. I wanted to avoid that possibility.
Bill took me to his barber. Had I been walking past it I'm not sure I would have recognized it as a barber shop. It looked more like a small home with a window in front, a mostly gravel yard and an attitude about landscaping strongly leaning to the "hands off" approach. In fact, I'm pretty sure this barber uses it as both a home and a shop. Once inside there are a couple of barber chairs, a few seats to wait your turn and laissez-faire attitude about interior decorating, as evidenced by a variety of leafs strewn around the floor.
This barber was not in a hurry. But his deliberate pace allowed him to talk and connect with his patrons. The customer in the chair before me was a man in his 90s. I didn't see him pay and I suspect that the barber had done it for free. When I took the chair and he began his slow revolution around my head with the clippers we starting talking about my walk. By the time he was done, I was that much closer to getting my AARP card, but I was also sporting a much cleaner haircut. When I asked him how much he replied, "For you, it's free."
I guess when you are that nice and giving, there isn't a lot extra in the company budget for indoor leaf removal. As it should be.
Chattanooga is for walkers
On Wednesday Bill and I decided to make the most of a sunny afternoon and have him show me a bit of Chattanooga. I've walked through many towns on this trip and sadly many are a mere shell of what I assume was their former glory. Chattanooga will not be added to that list. It is a beautiful city which seems to be thriving in a very touch economy.
Bill and I parked near the downtown section of the Riverwalk, a seven mile green way that traces alongside the Tennessee river from the Chickamauga Dam to downtown Chattanooga. We got out and walked a spell, around a beautiful sculpture garden, up along a bluff with shops and restaurants, alongside the gorgeous Hunter Museum of art and then across the Walnut Street Bridge. The Walnut Street bridge is the longest pedestrian only bridge in the world and since I am one of the nation's foremost pedestrians at this time, I thought it would be terrible shame if I didn't add my footprints on its wooden cross planks.
The Walnut Street Bridge connects downtown Chattanooga with trendy North Shore. I can't tell you much about North Shore other than it provided me with a huge White Chocolate Raspberry shake to add to my caloric intake for the day. I asked nothing more of it. Bill and I took the leisurely stroll back into Chattanooga, retraced our steps back along the Riverwalk and to the car.
This might seem like a bit of a back-handed compliment, but if I was forced to choose a place to live and the nation's major cities weren't an option, I'd settle in good ole Chattanooga. The weather never gets too cold. It has a fledgling arts scene, beautiful paths devoted to pedestrians and it is geographically located in striking distance to Atlanta, Knoxville and Nashville. It might be a mid-major among American cities, but if so, at least it is a mid-major competing with the big boys for a BCS birth. It is the Boise State football team of the American urban landscape.
Ain't No Party Like a Lorene Party
I couldn't stay in Chattanooga for a week without driving up to Nashville. Wait, let me specific. I couldn't stay in Chattanooga for a week without being sprawled comfortably along the backseat while Bill and Jeanette drove me to Nashville. That's closer to the mark.
Of my grandmother's brothers and sisters, three live in the Nashville area, one in Crossville and two in Chattanooga. Lorene Douglas is one of the Nashville group and she invited us up for a lunch gathering. Lorene has a special place in my heart and in the heart of my family. She has been widowed for a number of years and is an absolute saint when it comes to keeping in touch and letting everyone know she is thinking of them. When my grandmother was ill with Parkinsons and dementia, Lorene called her every night without exception at 8pm. I would be taking care of Nonnie sometimes and I could set my watch on that ring. I'd pick up, Lorene and I would talk for a while and then I would hand the phone to Nonnie. In the later years Nonnie couldn't really say anything. But I or my dad would hold the phone to her ear and Lorene would talk to her about her brothers and sisters and tell her that she loved her. Even though at the end Nonnie couldn't express herself, I knew that those calls made her feel loved and included.
Lorene had prepared quite a southern feast for everyone on this Thursday. Bill, Jeanette and I arrived first, but others arrived quickly on our heels. Dewitt, Sarah, Sheila and little Asher. Then Theresa and Tonya. Then Annie V, Anita, Scott and TJ. Then Sherry, Richard, Ward and Dot. Lastly we were joined by Donald and Sue, bringing the total to 20. When I started gathering the troops for our picture, that would have broken the record set just four days back. But young TJ decided to opt out of the group photo. So Nashville & Chattanooga had to settle for a tie.
With Lorene, Annie V, Dewitt and Donald all there, I was really glad to have been able to see all my grandmother's brothers and sisters on my trip through Tennessee. She would have been so happy. Sometimes people talk about seeing family as if it is a burden. For me, it is never so. I always look forward to my stops in Nashville and Chattanooga. I've included them on numerous trips I have taken over the years. The Freeland family tree always provides a wonderful pleasant shade for me to rest under. That shade comes with good stories, great food and those winning Freeland smiles.
Bill, Jeanette and I had to leave early in the afternoon to get back to Chattanooga before it was too late. I fell asleep in the backseat for a while before awaking right around sunset. It is a reminder that beauty is not sole property of the new and the youthful. All my grandmother's brothers and sisters are 75 or older, and I can't think of a more beautiful group of people. I hope my sunset years are lived with as much grace.
Speak softly, but carry a big five wood
To say I am a infrequent golfer would be putting it mildly. In the past five years I could count my golf outings on one hand. There would be a few beat downs I put on my dad on the par 3 course outside of Norristown, PA and a corresponding clinic put on me by my friend Endel in Phoenixville. Truth is I am not that competitive when it comes to golf. My dad and I battle it out in a sometimes annual par 3 contest, but other than that I just like to get out there and knock it around.
As with all other casual golfers, inconsistency is the adjective that describes my game. There is no rhyme or reason to what part of my game might be firing on all cylinders on any given day and what part might be absolutely abysmal. It is a total crap shoot.
One of the nice things about coming to Chattanooga is that Bill and I find a way to work in a golf game. Given that I am a left hander, Bill had to sniff out a set of clubs for me to use. He was able to find a partial set at Brainerd golf course which the attendant allowed me to use for free. There was a dented driver, a five wood, four different irons and a putter. Bill's son John joined us to make a fearsome threesome, with Bill driving the lead cart and John and I careening around behind him.
We took our place at the first tee and I commenced to weed out which clubs would be my Kryptonite. I swung my driver on that initial par four and sliced a little gift right into the neighbors yard. No charge for that express mail gift. John jokingly noted that mulligans are always free on the first hole so I teed up another ball, banished the dented driver to my bag and took out the five wood.
Thus started a long and fruitful relationship between me and my five wood. I bogeyed the first hole before falling apart on 2, 3 and 4. Gathering some shreds of pride on the fifth hole I hit two monster five woods back to back on the 364-yard par 4, leaving my ball about five feet from the hole. I drained my birdie put and realized that I might never play another hole so well for the rest of my life.
That reminds me of a little story. I used to play church softball with a guy named Den Fenstermacher. He was the team captain, our left fielder and an all around quirky type of guy. We played on a field with a fence and it was his much discussed dream to hit a home run in one of our games. Years passed, we won championships, dominated our league and yet Den never hit one out. He did strength training in the off-season, started swinging up on the ball more and yet it didn't happen. Then the last game of year, some 10 seasons or so into playing with our church, Den lit into one and it sailed over the left field fence. As he strided the bases the team exploded with cheers. He was restrained in his celebration but there was a look of complete satisfaction on his face. Part of me thought he might tap home and keep running straight to his car like a character out of an Amelia Bedelia book. He didn't. The game ended and he packed up his car and we all said our "see you next season" to one another. But we didn't see Den next season. He packed it up and never played another game.
If I would have walked off after my birdie on the fifth hole this might be a better story. Yet I kept hacking away. I managed to par the following par-3 and then the par-4 ninth. I would add two more pars on the back nine, but no more birdies. My five wood continued to talk a big game, but my short game did just as good a job of shooting me in the foot. I finished the day with a respectable 95. I kept it in double digits and for me that's a victory.
It was dark when we finished our round. The golf shop had closed up and one guy was just waiting for our carts. For a second I thought about returning my clubs minus one five wood. They would never know. But lest I use it as a walking stick, I had no where to put it. So I bid it a tearful goodbye. May its drives always be long and straight.
The Power is in the Bracelet
On Sunday morning I ended my time in Chattanooga the same place I started it - Silverdale Baptist Church. Bill had met me here last Sunday afternoon at the end of my long walk from Cleveland. Now Bill, Jeanette, their son Alan, his wife Kelly, their daughter Elianha and I were there for early morning services.
Pastor Tony preached on the final passage from the Sermon on the Mount. In it Jesus employs the metaphor of building your house on a rock versus building it on the sand. The intro to the sermon was a cute YouTube video of a little girl singing the well known kids song about the same story. I remember singing it as a kid, but I don't remember every giving the metaphor itself much thought.
Pastor Tony talked about how the inevitable storms of life will always test our foundations, whether we like it or not. That got me thinking about what I would answer if someone asked me point blank, "what is your foundation in life?" I'm not going to answer that question here, because I think that explanation belongs in a different place and I will address it head on in what I write after this trip. But having spent the past six days surrounded by the love and concern of my extended Tennessee family I do know that families provide a kind of foundation that can be so important when life deals us some challenges.
My immediate challenge as we left the service was that it was raining again. We drove to Cracker Barrel restaurant across the Georgia state line and Alan treated us to brunch. I got one more chance to play with Elianha, Alan and Kelly's six year old daughter. She is such a ray of sunshine, in both her inexhaustible energy and her ability to light up any room with a smile. Earlier in the week she and I had taken our turns with a bracelet making kit she was loaned by one of her friends. She made me a gold and purple one which signify the Mardi Gras colors of New Olreans, my destination. I put that on my left wrist. At her urging I made another one for myself that is on my right. I won't take them off until I get there.
After lunch I got out in the center of Ringgold, GA and said my goodbyes to all of them. There was a slight rain. Not much of a storm. Especially given a foundation like those who waved goodbye to me there and all the others I had seen and talked to in Chattanooga and Nashville. Before I know it, these bracelets will be strolling down Bourbon Street.

Having had the pleasure of some heavyweight collaborations in recent times, Dr. Romanelli pulls the covers off his latest project involving two popular entities in their own regard, the TV show LOST and Japanese reproduction brand Real McCoys. The collection is limited to 10 pieces as it features a large "Deus Ex Machina" motif on the back on a tiger stripe jacket. Dr. Romanelli's full insights can be seen below.
Every so often a show comes along that grabs your attention and sucks you in. LOST is hands down one of the best shows of all time. When the opportunity arose to work on a collaboration I jumped on it. I recently connected with Real McCoys owner Hitoshi Tsujimoto. I have been a huge fan of his line for quite sometime, so it was amazing to connect on this drop. Seemed like the perfect fit to work with him on this project via his amazing military reissued pieces and attention to detail. The "Dues Ex Machina" tiger stripe jacket is inspired by the first glimpse of the temple walls with Anubis calling the smoke monster and the concept of black vs. white. Its Claire's dream of Locke with black and white stones for eyes and the contrast of black smoke against the jungle background that felt like tiger stripe camouflage. Its a mixture of little pieces picked up from the show… following little hints like bread crumbs…it was the little things hidden in the story that made their way into the design of the jacket. It was the freeze frames from fan sites of temple walls where fans dove deep into reading hieroglyphs to get a better understanding of what was really going on. Its a tribute to Locke and the man in black as the smoke monster that just maybe he was the true ghost in the machine. Big thanks to Hitoshi for helping me manufacture such an incredible piece and to Mr. Nathan Cabrera, LOST fan, and my wing man on creating this jacket. This collection is limited to 10 pieces. Please inquire with UNION if your interested.
Thanks, DRx

Citimortgage Mortgage Modification Hell O'Fallon Missouri
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
What a complete tragedy this whole modification process is---wonder why individuals loose their homes--end up in an even more compromised position than when they started. Well read my letter to Citi---I was told one thing and at the end of the process was in complete shock when I received my mortgage modification papers---how is this allowed to go on.
I'm sorry but I do not believe that is what Citimortgage did. Because when I look back on my records when I originally called in I made Citi aware that I may have difficulty paying my mortgage. Let me reinforce when I called in I was current on my mortgage. Citi was more than happy to which seemed shocking to me because of the stories you hear.
I am glad to see that Citi acknowledges that someone in January told me very different terms than what appeared on my final modification documents.
"Oh no problem "--in fact I was told that there was an unemployment forbearance plan. Where for people in my situation perhaps up to three months of my mortgage would be forgiven to help me get on my feet again. I learned after all of this in the last two weeks some individuals might qualify for up to 6.
Then in January when I was told my mortgage was was approved for a modification. I even asked if I should make my January payment--oh don't worry about it. We'll roll it in on the back end. So now I'm technically four months behind on my mortgage. I asked on the phone as well as through email what the terms were. "Oh don't worry your payment will be what it is during the trial a little more or a little less."
Citi and yourself can spin this in the slick way that has been done over the past couple of weeks but I was put in an even worse situation because of this and I truly should have been given an opportunity to decide for myself if this was the direction I wanted to take. I have single handedly destroyed my credit with CitiMortgages' assistance-a credit rating which was well over 800 until this crazy economy started.
Again--there was only one option I was consider for no matter whether the terms were finalized or not. And I did sign those papers feeling very threatened. And you are right that the permanent modification I received does explain what the terms will be--the problem is why isn't that provided on the front end so someone like myself who probably did qualify for some unemployment forbearance and could have and wanted to make her mortgage payments beginning in January could have made a thought out decision. Instead I enter into this trial phase--paying my three months of the trial modification payments on time-I might add that had I not been diligent on this that wouldn't have occurred. Know why-Citi although I had confirmation numbers didn't withdraw my funds on the 1st of the month. I had to call in and do make sure it was done. So now rather than being what should have been 1 month behind on my mortgage-which ballooned into 4 because I didn't qualify for unemployment forbearance whoola that magic Citi wand is waved and I'm now 7 months behind on my mortgage. So Citi rolls in $11032 on the back end and can't even tell me where the $4908 of my modification payments are. And per our conversations I couldn't even get a straight answer even what the $11k was for. Again it's pretty simple to me with hindsight what a very unfair procedure this is. And had I known then what I know now I would have never ventured down this slimy slope. It's like I also said to you I was thrown over the waterfall without even being allowed to make an informed decision on my own.
I also find it interesting that when you begin this trial modification that you are actually locked out of your mortgage account and don't even receive mortgage statements. Don't you find that interesting---thus putting you further and further in the hole. You can't pay your mortgage even if you want to---crazy isn't it. And I thought I was actually paying my mortgage---crazy, crazy!
Don't you find it interesting that even though my unemployment was added in as my income--and I have that recorded on one of our conversations that on February 7 I receive a letter from Citi stating that I do not qualify for the HAMP program for unemployment forbearance because guess what---"I refused to accept unemployment" Which of course is not true. You yourself in your email make reference to my unemployment below. I can't imagine Citi's computer system just spits out all these erroneous communications unless it benefits them and then when you call in -- don't worry about that it's just a formality. And the only option Citi has is for me to go through the HAMP process again. Why should I do that-it was your mistake. As a parent when a child misbehaves they are punished--you don't punish a child is they did nothing wrong--you correct the error and redo. Cit needs to go to the naughty mortgage chair and correct their behavior.
I believe that was a convenient way for Citi to bounce me out of that one as well. I will state once again, my income is no where near the $110,000 stating. I myself found a waterfall calculator published by an economics professor and low and behold when I run the same numbers it is a much different scenario. I even emailed you my latest bank statements and payroll stubs--I wonder if you can locate that email. Again, I'm not directing this towards you are have a job to do and I get and understand that. What's interesting is the last income number you provided me of $7500 completely locks me out of anything. I also find it interesting that before I got to you Tom who I spoke to said there was an underwriting error as my they counted my unemployment as income but whoola I can't have unemployment income because I am bounced from the unemployment side of HAMP because again I refused to accept unemployment.
I also bet if I asked for documents to make sure my mortgage was assigned properly -- whoola they probably don't even exist. I can tell you they don't exist at the deeds register office someone else owns my mortgage. I've never seen such absolutely poor business practices. Because really the process is pretty easy. Computer program, input data, output results. If it wasn't for some reason beneficial to foreclose on my or other individuals they wouldn't even be so sloppy in this process. Citi and other banks prey on homeowners-even though because of the corruption the banks did they were mandated to help out the little average homeowner. I find it absolutely appalling that no one even went to jail for the robo signing--because after all that amounted to forgery.
I sincerely hope because I purchased my home for $371,000 and put $70,000 that the FDIC's protection of banks such as Citi doesn't incentivize them to go aggressively after homeowners. To put the homeowner in a setup position that before they know what is going on their homes are basically snatched right from under them. I believe I've seen models where the banks actually make 10's of thousand if not in the 100's of thousand of dollars on foreclosure because the FDIC shields them.
Those modification documents need to be correct because I will not participate in Citi's sloppiness and who knows get myself into something that is even worse than this very unfortunate situation. As someone who has a greenbelt in project management I would truly like to recommend that Citi starts a quality control or process improvement initiative so that errors are identified and eliminated. I can't believe that my investor Freddie Mac would find this acceptable and I sincerely hope they audit their service providers.
I would also like to see my original loan papers if you would be so kind as to forward those. Again, thank you for getting back to me but this needs to be done correctly. When I spoke with Freddie Mac they told me I wasn't considered for any HAMP programs---why again was that?

Best practices to address real world challenges
We've made significant strides in the areas of building design and furnishings, energy efficiency, paper conservation, and environmental awareness/waste reduction.
Our Northwest Chicago office staff members have deep connections throughout the region and give back to the community through many volunteer and charitable endeavors. Our most recent endeavor is supporting CASA Kane County, which advocates for the best interest of abused and neglected children within the juvenile court system. The organization serves children within Kane County and works to find homes for children in the foster care system.
It's not always "all work and no play" around here. We host many events that offer our staff members a chance to interact with each other and relax. Here are just a few of the ways we enjoy ourselves at the Northwest Chicago office: the yearly holiday and April 15th parties, paintball outings, a Halloween party, a school supply drive, and participation in the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge.

"To use the computer as a transformation device is to use it on a trivial level. It is a completely general symbol-manipulating device and allows the writer of a program essentially to define what the machine is any way he or she chooses. That generality gives the computer a very special significance as the first modern device which allows itself to be used as a sort of do-it-yourself design kit, rather than as a single fixed-function tool."
— Harold Cohen1
• the task to be performed and the facilities the system brings to performing it (that is, what you're trying to do and what the underlying system actually does),
• the intended users' intellectual and physical characteristics, and
• the channels available for communicating with the system.
• Predictability. Although users might have the right to do lots of different things at any point, in reality, they tend to do some things a lot more than others. For example, in a messaging system, the user is much more likely to send or review a message immediately after composing it than to change his password. This is not to imply that the system should prevent users from changing their passwords at that point, but that it should make sending or reviewing the message easier to accomplish at that point than changing passwords. If one action is sufficiently likely, the designer can make it the default action, to be invoked by the simplest command (or even without explicit command).
• Type constraints. If we know what kind of parameters to expect, we can ease the task of specifying them. Default values, spelling correction, and completion are all interface mechanisms to aid in this activity.
• Clustering. While we might not generally be able to predict which command a user will invoke, certain applications find particular clusters or paths of commands.
• Concurrence with other tasks. If my routine consists of concurrently text processing and communicating (on the same equipment), then it is important that switching between these tasks be easy and inexpensive.
• Functionality. So far, we've blithely assumed that the underlying system is capable of doing whatever the task calls for. Having the desired functionality correctly implemented is crucial as, without it, all (or almost all) is lost.
• Permanence. Most character and graphic output devices exhibit an intermediate degree of permanence — that is, what is written remains on the screen until something new comes along to overwrite it. This contrasts with sound-based output, which the user needs to catch as it happens (or it's no longer there) and hardcopy output, which lasts indefinitely (or least until it's buried under something else on your desk). Another variety of indefinite information is embodied in the device's physicality. For instance, my computer doesn't need to periodically remind me which key is the shift key because it's labeled "shift."
• Capacity. Paralleling the permanence of output is capacity — how much information (in what varieties) can be shown at a given time. Capacity can be a mixed blessing, because a large capacity invites the interface designer to dilute a given communication's focus (recall our grad student from last issue who was intent on filling the screen with information).
• Bandwidth and latency. Latency refers to how long it takes before a system can respond. Bandwidth refers to how much information can be transferred in a given time period. Computers have gotten fast, limited only by interface designers' ability to invent things that take too long to do.
• Precision. On output, how precise a depiction can I create? Am I limited to letters at prespecified locations, or do I have high-density, color, bitmap graphics? Is the sound quality limited to single frequencies or symphonic? On input, can I read mouse coordinates, or am I restricted to recognizing keystrokes?
• Accuracy. How noisy are the input and output channels? Sufficient noise forces the interface designer to validate inputs and present output redundantly.

Additional subflooring question
I posted before about my subfloor. We didn't realize it , but our GC based all stair and door heights on our existing 1/2" subfloor which dates to 1979. We have specs from our architect that says we should have 3/4" t&g, but she says it was just boilerplate and intended for new areas with a new footprint. We're remodeling, but not adding sf to the house. She said the GC would not have foreseen that we had 1/2". The grey area comes in because we had an additional 1/2" of plywood everywhere that we previously had carpeting, and it was discarded. We would have been happier to keep that extra 1/2", and didn't know the GC wasn't keeping it.
The hardwood floor contractor had expressed concern about the subfloors, and even suggested possibly removing and then resetting the stair to allow additional subfloor to be installed.
Rather than ripping out the stairs, our architect suggested applying for a variance based on hardship due to unforeseen conditions. If granted, we would then add 1/2" of plywood screwed and glued, and have the bottom step being 1/2" shorter than the other stairs, and the top stair being a 1/2" taller than the others. The GC wasn't too happy with that idea, but he agreed.
The floor guy dropped off a couple of bundles of wood for us to look at, and when at the house, walked around and said the floors weren't really so bad, and we could add "cats" underneath to support the floor in the basement. He said he was concerned about having the stair heights being different.
Given that the flooring guy had been so concerned before, I'm pretty sure that the GC got to him, considering how intense his concern had been. When I next spoke to the GC, he asked me if I had applied for the variance. I said we were considering not doing it, but weren't sure. I asked him about cats, which he said was blocking, and he said that was a great idea. He then added that he was really, really concerned about the differential in those stairs.
Hmmmm..... the phrasing of that comment was almost identical to what the floor guy said. WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!
We have a 2" space between the current subfloor and the bottom of our french doors, and if we add another 1/2" plus the 3/4" hardwood, a rug would be impossible in front of those doors. I think the contractor just doesn't want to do the work of installing the plywood, especially if the doors also would have to be pulled out, the opening reframed, and re-installed. I understand that it's not optimal to have different stair heights, but currently, the new stairs are slightly elevated, waiting for the floor to be installed, and the last step as you go down is at least a 3/4" taller. Upstairs, where the hardwood also is yet to be installed, it's 3/4" shorter. We go up and down quite often and don't even notice it.
We don't especially want to go the route of ripping out all of the existing subfloor, although we know installing 3/4" t&g is the best choice. Our architect has concerns about doing that, since the new subfloor would be detached from the subfloor under the sill plates (but I know it could be blocked underneath).
Bottom line, would sistering and blocking also help to reinforce the subfloor? Our floor joists are 2 X 10's, 16 inches apart. The flooring will run perpendicular to the joists. Given that the stairs are installed, as well as the french doors (two operational and two stationary), is there a way to make the current 1/2" of plywood work by adding reinforcement from below?
If this were your situation, what would you feel ok with as a solution? Thanks for reading!
You have a reasonably common, yet complex problem. You have two contractors plus an architect involved. I suggest you sit down in the same room with the architect, the GC, and the flooring contractor and hash out a solution. You already know some of the options, no doubt the architect has some other ideas, probably the GC also. I am puzzled why the idea of sistering came up in the last paragraph of your post, when it was not previously suggested. Is there some concern that the floor is not stiff enough for hardwood?
The sistering was my idea. The flooring guys felt there was sponginess in the plywood and suggested improving the subfloor. I was just wondering if a compromise might be sistering as well as adding blocking.
The architect suggests getting a variance and letting the stairs be different at the top and bottom due to adding an extra 1/2" of plywood, but consistent throughout the staircase itself. I don't think she realizes that there wouldn't be any room for a rug in front of the door.
The GC thinks it's fine the way it is, but he is likely motivated by not wanting to reset the french door panels, and also fearful that if the variance isn't granted, he might have to rip out the stairs, AND reset the doors.
The issue surfaced when floor guys came for a last measure, and we saw that one room had an extra 1/2" of plywood, and that it had been removed in the hall. My husband and I assumed the GC was going to replace it in the hall, but then we learned the stairs were set at the lower level. We then would either need to have a transition saddle between the rooms, or have the stair levels be different, and on top of it, there is the issue of whether the plywood is sufficient.
If you are using 3/4 solid wood you will be fine. This minor movement of your sub floor is not as big of an issue as the safety lost in making a step depth different . Tripping at the top is not good for one's loved ones. Your GC is right!
Thanks, Bob for the benefit of your experience. I appreciate the input on the top stair height, and I understand how dangerous & easy it would be to trip on the way up if you weren't anticipating needing to raise your knee and foot higher for the last step. Is the same true of the first-step being a 1/2" shorter? We have the extra 1/2" of plywood in the living room, which is right next to the hall where the stairs are. We could add the 1/2" in the hall, which would make the bottom step 1/2" shorter than all the others, but the top step would not be higher than the others. If we did that, the hall would be at the same level as the living room, and we'd have a more stable floor.
Bottom step works the same way. We quickly adapt of step to the steps so to say. Meaning that we develop a stride that becomes automatic. A large or smaller step creates a hazard. Maybe you can adjust the other steps slightly to slowly change the height by shimming each step slightly different to gradually adjust the height. You do not want more that a 3/8" variance.
