The Many Benefits of Drinking Ionized Water During Pregnancy
Posted byon
There are many benefits of drinking ionized water during pregnancy. this subject has been thoroughly documented and researched, as I will explain further on down in this post.
Drinking Ionized Water During Pregnancy
There are many reasons a pregnant woman needs to start drinking alkaline ionized water. During pregnancy a woman's body becomes acidic. The reason this occurs is that the baby is taking a large number of alkaline minerals from the mother in order to grow and form a perfect body. These are delivered via the umbilical cord. The baby's cells take in all the nutrients it needs this way, and then they produce acidic wastes. These acid wastes are expelled, by way of the placenta, back into the mother's body. The mother's body has a hard time in two ways: 1) the baby is taking all her alkaline buffers, and 2) her body needs to neutralize not only her own acidic wastes, but also the baby's.
The Need for Water Multiplies While the Pregnant Mother's Ability to Keep it Down Reduces
The growing baby needs lots of water, not only because it's body is 75% water, but also the growing amniotic sac is full of almost 100% water. The mother, herself, needs more water. During pregnancy the woman's blood-volume increases by about 50%. With all this extra need for water, during pregnancy, many women have a hard time keeping water down, because of morning sickness. Alkaline ionized water has two benefits which help with this: 1) it's micro-clustered [so more water absorbs into cells], and 2) ionized water tends to have a settling effect on a nauseous stomach.
Extensive Studies Showing the Many Benefits of Drinking Ionized Water During Pregnancy
Extensive studies by Prof. Watanabe Ifao of Watanabe Hospital, Japan [Head of Gynecology] have shown that drinking plenty of alkaline ionized water can lower the risk of pre-eclampsia, a dangerous condition that develops because of the over-acidity of the mother's body for an extended time. Dr Wantanabe worked with tens of thousands of gynecological patients every year. Many of these patients had pre-eclamptic toxemia and made a special trip to see him at his hospital, where he was well-known to have the best results. Dr. Wantanabe used alkaline ionized water to help heal all of these patients.
"Ionized alklaine antioxidant water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins. When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are most significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group showed intelligence above average."
Also, these same studies have demonstrated that drinking ionized water helps stabilize blood pressure, reduce water retention and reduce the swelling in hands, ankles and feet. Interestingly, the follow-up reporting on patients treated in Dr. Wantanabe's hospital showed the babies intelligence to be above average as well.
Other Studies About Clean Water vs. Contaminated & Pregnancy
Another benefit to both the mother and the unborn baby is that many water ionizers will clean up and remove the toxins that are found in much of our water supplies. Contaminated water has been shown to increase health risks for pregnant women and their unborn babies.Do not be mislead by bottled water companies, bottled water is most likely worse than any of the tap water around. Filtering your own water with a high-quality water ionizer is far healthier than any other kind of water available.
Drinking Ionized Water Before Pregnancy
Don't wait until you're pregnant to get your body into good shape. There are many benefits of drinking ionized water to be had by anyone. Here is some suggested reading:
* Benefits of Drinking Ionized Water
* What Doctors & Experts Have to Say
Drinking Ionized Water After the Baby is Born
Hopefully by the time your baby is born you will see all of the benefits of drinking ionized water. The baby will be alkaline enough for at least the first few years of life, so it's not suggested to give the infant ionized water. Neutral, filtered water is great for infants. You will have a lot of recovering to do, probably some weight to lose, and you'll want to have lots of energy. These are just a few of the many things that ionized water is good for, so drink away! Here is my own testimonial -helping myself and family for over 20 years – drinking alkaline ionized water.
Cathleen Lograsso
Cathleen was a teacher/principal for 24 years and has been drinking ionized water for about 20 years. She created Alkaline Water Plus to educate people about the benefits of ionized water.

Sarah Takes a Stand
The King frowned upon his son, but the Prince smirked, as if in making Lady Abigail sit he had won a battle. As the silence lengthened Sarah began to smile. Certain words the Prince had used, pleasure, copulate, clicked together in her mind and before anyone else could speak she stepped forward.
"If I may interject," Sarah requested. Trust me she thought to Jason who was clearly concerned with her speaking. "Your Majesty," she hastily amended.
"Go on," the King regarded her curiously.
Sarah definitely liked the man. She gathered her thoughts. "Please forgive me if I'm a little crass," she looked apologetically at Jason's mother, who only nodded the slightest bit. "But I think," Sarah looked directly at the Prince, "Your highness is confusing lust with love."
His eyes narrowed as he met her gaze. "Am I?" he asked. "And what, pray tell is lust?"
Sarah closed her eyes for a moment, finding it hard to believe he didn't know that word. His smirk faded as she opened her eyes again and looked into his. "Lust, an extreme physical attraction to another person; sometimes called desire. It is the motivator behind kissing and caressing and copulating with an attractive member of the opposite sex."
Sarah heard Lady Abigail intake a sharp breath.
"And that is different than love?" The Prince clearly didn't believe there was a difference.
"Yes!" Sarah looked him dead in the eyes, her hands clenched in fists. "Your Highness." She nearly spat out his title and forced herself take a deep breath before continuing. "Desire might be part of love, but it isn't always. Lust and desire is what brings the sailor into port seeking out the company of a woman to bed. Love," Sarah's fists slowly unfurled as a sad smile slowly spread across her face. "Love is what drives a mother to save her own child even at the cost of her own life." The Prince continued to stare at her as if he didn't understand. "Look," Sarah sighed. "If lust was all that brought Jason and I together, then I would agree."
"Ha!" The Prince snorted triumphantly.
Sarah stepped closer to him, "But it's not." Sarah! Jay's shocked voice halted her next step. She knew she ought to be more respectful, but they ought to be glad she hadn't decked the boy. "We're driven by love and our own beliefs. And if love is, as Lady Abigail says, a gift of the Gods then they know its power. Even in my world there is a saying, Love conquers all. Heck most stories I've read about love revolve around that. That and," Sarah shook her head slightly, "you can't escape your destiny."
The Prince blinked at her. He seemed dumbfounded. She didn't know if it was because she was a woman standing up to him or if what she said was sinking in. Sarah's expression changed as she realized he'd probably never known love, at least, not the way she had. Learning about love versus lust through trial and error was part of growing up for her. In another bold move, and perhaps to soften her actions Sarah reached out and touched his shoulder.
"Someday I hope you'll get to experience love," she told him. "There are times when it is pure heartache but the joy," Sarah gave mih a lopsided smile. "The joy it can bring is worth a world of trouble." Or even a world lost, she thought stepping back to Jason's side. His hand reached for hers and she did not need to see his smile to know he approved of her words.

Pilgrims land Ipswich man
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Boston United have signed Ipswich Town centre back Ian Miller on a month's loan.
Boston United have signed Ipswich Town centre back Ian Miller on a month's loan.
The 22-year-old is expected to make his debut for The Pilgrims when the League Two strugglers host Notts County on Saturday.
The move comes just weeks after Miller made the step up to league football when he signed for Ipswich from non-league club Bury Town.
He has not made his first-team debut for Jim Magilton's side and the defender seems set for a Football League christening with the Lincolnshire club.
"I was very impressed by what I saw from Ian," manager Steve Evans told the club's official website.
"He is strong and quick and I believe he will be a good acquisition for the squad.
"Ian came into professional football during the summer and the staff at Ipswich, including Jim Magilton and Andy Rhodes, have recognised that he has come on leaps and bounds during that time, so they saw a loan move as the next step in that progression."
Boston have also added Middlesbrough midfielder Jason Kennedy to their ranks after he arrived on a month's loan.
The news comes as Pilgrims midfielder Simon Rusk will go under the knife to repair cartilage damage in his right knee.
Rusk sustained the injury in last Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers, having just recovered from ligament damage in his left knee.
The club expects the 24-year-old to be sidelined for the next eight to ten weeks with this latest setback.

Dining out will not be an option when on a budget. You are on a mission to save money, lose fat and gain muscle. What will be a priority is learning how to purchase nutrient dense foods and how to cook the stuff. Cooking skills will become your fitness success. You will appreciate the control of knowing what you're eating to achieve a lean and healthy body.

Maintain a frugal personality when it comes to food purchases and strive to find the best deals on healthy foods. Remember to stick to your budget and resist the temptation to stray even when friends come calling for that dinner out.

Organic foods are the best way to go but not always possible on a budget. Doing the best you can during times of financial strain is what matters and a necessary strategy. You can still eat right and reach fitness goals using alternatives. Other options include buying dried beans, potatoes, rice, whole chickens, ground lean beef, frozen vegetables, fruits and canned foods. These foods provide a wide variety of nutrients that are not expensive and easily prepared.

The body requires nutrients from lean proteins, good carbohydrates, and healthy fats for optimal fitness. Knowing what the body needs is the first step to creating a budget-friendly menu. Strategize food shopping by locating discount food stores, bulk purchase outlets, and even clip coupons for extra savings.

Organics and canned food items will be cheaper in discount food outlets. Compare prices and reduce stress by locating one or two favorite stores to food shop and save on transportation cost. Prepare a food budget ahead of time and don't be tempted by impulse items. These are typically processed and unhealthy. Remember money is critical, healthy food is a priority, and goals to gain lean mass important.

The following foods are typically cheaper but healthy nutrient sources to reach your fitness goals: beans, rice, lean meats on sale, low to no sodium canned food items, eggs, peanut butter, oats, low-fat dairy, and seasonal vegetables and fruits.

Chicken is often less expensive purchased whole and cut up at home. Buying chicken breast on the bone with skin intact can also be a cost saving. De-boning and skinning the chicken can happen in the kitchen and part of your meal prep.

The same applies to lean red meats and buying a larger cut on sale trimming the fat off at home. Become a deal seeker and jump on any lean meat items with a low price per pound. This will be the time to buy in bulk and freeze the portions.

Dairy items like low-fat milk and cottage cheese can be purchased in a large container which is usually cheaper. Anytime individual size packing is included think more money. It's less expensive to buy a larger container and separate the serving sizes at home.

Have small reusable storage containers at home so food can be portioned, frozen, refrigerated or carried in a cooler.

Buying healthy food in bulk is a great way to save money.

Dried beans can be purchased in a large bag and cooked at home at a cost saving. However, and for convenience, canned varieties can also be bought fairly cheap at discount food stores and bulk food outlets. Look for organic when possible and at the very least low to no sodium.

Bulk brown rice is inexpensive and when combined with a serving of beans creates a complete protein and good carbohydrate meal.

Oatmeal is another healthy carbohydrate food and a favorite among lean mass gainers. Oats are inexpensive, easy to cook and can be topped with fruits and even mixed with peanut butter for a power meal.

Canned tuna will be a life saver when shopping on a dime. Chunk light tuna in water will be the best deal and an excellent source of protein. It can be mixed with brown rice, topped with spices, or eaten straight from the can.

Peanut butter is the cheapest of the nut-butters. Look for all natural staying away from hydrogenated sugar-filled products. Natural peanut butter typically has oil at the surface, requires stirring to blend the product and an excellent healthy fat. Research indicates peanut butter as a superior superfood linked to lean mass gain and fat loss.

Eggs are inexpensive especially when bought in bulk and are among the top listed easy assimilated proteins for the body. Egg whites and oatmeal is one of the most popular lean mass building meals in the fitness industry.

Vegetables and fruits are better purchased fresh, cheaper in-season, and the best time to stock up. However, buying fresh or in-season may not always be possible. Frozen or canned would be the next healthy option.

Look for minimally processed, in natural sugars, or flash frozen in their raw state. Canned items will need to be low to no sodium, packed in natural juices for preservatives and can be bought on the cheap. Stock up during a sale and keep the pantry full of healthy canned food selections. Vegetable side dishes accompanied by a lean protein is one of the best meals to gain muscle and reduce body fat.

Condiments are inexpensive and must haves to spice up healthy meals. Mustard, hot sauce, salsa, ground pepper, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and natural coconut sugar are a few great examples. Stay away from creamy dressings, margarine and anything high salt and fake. Extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for salads and vegetables will be a mainstay in the pantry and budget friendly.

Eating on a budget doesn't mean health and fitness goals have to be sacrificed. Consuming a wide variety of nutrient dense foods will enable you to gain muscle, reduce fat and maintain good health. All this can be accomplished on a dime while providing quality nutrition on a daily basis.

Maenel: The Slaughtered House
I awoke to something strange - I couldn't place it, but something was off. Only after laying there, silent, was I able to determine what it was. Something was moving. Fast. I could hear the crackling of the hay as - whatever it was - moved around me. I lay still, focusing on the noise, and when I could place its exact location around me, I struck out with my corvo - a small, hook-bladed knife - and took it out. I flipped over, slammed my blade into the ground, and came up with - a rat. It had been running around, looking for food - probably about to bite me.
"Damn pea-brain," I cursed the rat and its stupidity as I got up, brushing the hay off of my clothes, and walked out to see what all the chatter was about at the entrance to the barn.
"We need to find some food as well," I heard Zell say, "It's probably best if we don't go back into town. Let's scout around the farms."
I approached them silently, taking the time to check my surroundings, and stood next to Caesaria, who was new among our group - I only knew her because we'd had some small run-ins in the past. She nodded to me in acknowledgement, and I returned the gesture.
Soon, everyone was awake and we were on our way, looking for food and a new place to stay. When we walked through Tieron's part of the village, I hardly bothered to look and see if he was watching me - I knew he would be - but, something still caused me to glance out of the corner of my eye. What I saw, I had only half-expected. Tieron's farmhouse was splattered with blood, and in the windows hung the heads of his entire family. Clearly, my secrets were catching up to me quickly.

The "fiscal cliff," a combination of tax increases and severe spending cuts scheduled to kick in next year, is a product of multiple deceptions. Both the expiration date on the Bush-era tax cuts and the trillion-dollar "sequesters" that were enacted as part of last year's debt-ceiling deal were designed to cover up an overarching problem: the country's out-of-control debt.
The U.S. government today owes $16.05 trillion to bondholders and creditors, more than $51,000 for every American. This debt is already larger than the country's annual economic output and threatens to cripple the economy for generations.
In its 235-year history, only twice has the country run up this big a tab: during the Civil War and World War II. Each time, though, the United States managed to dig its way back, regain its credit and emerge as the world's leading economy.
Both episodes offer lessons for today's predicament.
To finance the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln's Treasury Department borrowed heavily. Public debt exploded between 1861 and 1866 to more than $2.75 billion from $90 million. Lincoln's government also cheapened the currency through inflation, issuing more than $500 million in fiat paper dollars, or "greenbacks."
By the time Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in April 1865, those greenbacks had lost two-thirds of their value (measured against gold), leaving the country with oceans of debt and a debased currency.
To regain solvency, four things had to happen. First, the government paid down the debt. Starting in 1867, the U.S. Treasury every month sold gold and bought bonds, slowly paying off creditors and strengthening the dollar. By 1878, it had lowered the debt by almost 25 percent and the country was able to return to its traditional gold standard. No more fiat paper.
Second, Congress kept up revenues with high taxes, in the form of protective import tariffs. These tariffs helped local businesses and allowed the government to afford programs like Reconstruction, farm homesteads, railroad land grants and westward expansion.
Third, the economy grew. The great industrial boom of the Gilded Age, a product of many causes - wartime stimulus, corporate consolidation, government subsidies, immigration, new technologies and so on - quickly made the lingering debt a shrinking portion of a booming economy.
Finally, the country showed patience in sticking with this plan over two decades and under three presidents: Andrew Johnson, Grant and Rutherford B. Hayes. The electorate didn't shift course every Election Day.
Like the Civil War, World War II also forced the government to borrow heavily. The debt grew to more than $270 billion in 1946 from $50 billion in 1940, topping 120 percent of the country's annual gross domestic product - the highest level in U.S. history.
Again, the first step for bouncing back was to control debt. Between 1947 and 1960, the government ran seven annual budget surpluses and seven small deficits, keeping nominal debt essentially flat.
At the same time, taxes were set at levels sufficient to pay for, among other things, the Cold War, the interstate highway system and continuing New Deal programs.
And once again, the economy soared. Real GDP more than doubled during those years and continued to increase through the 1960s.
Finally, patience. Over 15 years, presidents as diverse as Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy all stuck to the plan. By 1963, the World War II debt had shrunk to less than 50 percent of GDP. By 1981, it would bottom at 32 percent.
The history is clear. With four things - income, growth, discipline and patience - the U.S. has climbed out of financial holes similar to the one it now faces.

Nov. 24, 2012
BURLINGTON, Vt. – A night after tallying his first career assist in a 5-1 win for the Gophers, rookie forward A.J. Michaelson netted his first career goal – the eventual game winner -- on Saturday as the No. 4 Minnesota men's hockey team swept Vermont with a 3-1 win at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
For the second night in a row, the Gophers (9-2-2 overall, 4-2-2 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) benefitted from a big second period – this time netting a pair of quick goals in the second stanza with Michaelson's goal following the game opener from Tom Serratore.
Ben Marshall snapped a four-game point drought, and Minnesota improved to 9-0-0 this season when Kyle Rau earns a point as the duo each earned assists on Serratore's third of the year at 2:49 of the second. Rau set up the scoring play down low in the corner, finding Marshall before the sophomore defenseman made a swift backhand pass to Serratore in front of the crease.
Michaelson's game winner came just 1:10 later at 3:59 of the second with Travis Boyd picking up his second assist of the weekend and Helgeson later being credited with his third assist of the year.
Vermont added pressure in the third and made it a one-goal game when Jacob Fallon scored a four-on-four goal at 4:15, but Nate Condon and the Gophers would outlast the Hockey East opponent with Condon adding an empty netter with 54 seconds left in regulation.
Adam Wilcox picked up the win as Minnesota improved its unbeaten streak to six games. The rookie netminder made 26 saves to improve to 8-1-2 on the season. Brody Hoffman took the loss for Vermont (2-7-2, 2-5-2 Hockey East). Minnesota, which went 0-for-5 on the power play and 4-for-4 on the penalty, outshot the Catamounts 33-27.
Minnesota returns to action next weekend at Mariucci Arena, hosting Nebraska-Omaha in a pair of WCHA contests.

Your Death and My Life
Your Death & My Life
Written by Taneet Grewal
I will never be able to understand it.
The sun sits peacefully among the endless blue sky, blowing me soft, warm kisses and the fingers of the breeze brush them from my skin and into my hair. Summer is slowly biding me farewell, but it's hard for me to let go. I scan the horizon and the view seems all too perfect. I wonder if that's him sitting there - disguised as the big bright circle in the sky, watching me admire his beauty. I try to swallow my lump of emotions, but it has already begun its regurgitation; blinding me, choking me. I just don't understand it. My mind is spinning so fast, the only thing keeping it from exploding is my skull. The fists of my heart pound against my chest like a caged demon. My eyes stay fixed on the clouds, which move across the sky as if they are strolling through the park. This must be a dream. Am I the only one dreaming? Or - is this entire world in a dream? I just can't bring myself to understand it. It would make much more sense to know we are all dreaming. Because God can't possibly take someone away from you in real life. So, why am I not waking up?
I lower my gaze to the bundle of long green stems my nervous hands hold, and see their many red headed petals gazing right back at me. I tighten my grip and shut my eyes quickly, turning the world into a sea of darkness. How did this all happen?
The black blanket that covers my eyes slowly turns to color, taking me back to the day it did happen. It suddenly turns cold.
* * *
My eyes shot open as I felt the pillow beneath me move in a frenzy. Still not fully awake, I reached for my cell phone that was dancing under the tangled mess of bed sheets. I sighed happily as I flipped it open, seeing a text message waiting to be read from my sweet darling. It had become a morning tradition over the summer, receiving his texts as an early wake up call, starting the day with a smile.
I pushed the OK button to read his message:
guye mohammad just told me naveel passed away last night ina car accident? wtf is goin on
My smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared, and I lay there, bewildered. What? I questioned whether I was still sleeping, but the pain of something punching me hard in the gut told me this was real. I had never been more awake than I was at this moment. All at once my throat felt as if it was closing in and I began to breathe heavily.
Naveel? I thought, Our Naveel? I read the message again, jolting upright in my bed. What does he mean, passed away? The phone shot out of my hands across the bed like a bullet. I refused to touch it, as if suddenly it was infested with disease. Is this some kind of sick joke?
My face wrinkled and twisted into a collision of confusion and anger, releasing furious tears that ran wildly down my cheeks. I was burning. I ran out of my room, screaming.
I was up before dawn the next morning. Even the sun was still sleeping. The
events of the previous day flashed before me as I took my white salwar kameez off the hanger, ready to be worn for Naveel's funeral. I stared at the reflection in the mirror. No make-up. No jewelry. Skin as pale and white as my outfit. And two brown eyes full of confusion and fury. My mind was numb and the only question I kept asking myself was, am I really going to the funeral of one of the best friend's I've ever had?
"Chalo beta, let's go," the soft voice from the doorway said. I broke the gaze between me and the girl in the mirror and looked up to see my beautiful mother. Like me, she was wrapped in white, but instead of looking frail and weak, she looked like an angel with invisible wings.
We left our small city of Windsor just as the sun was waking up, stretching its long pink and orange arms across the light blue sky and we began the long drive to Toronto. I stayed quiet the entire time, afraid that if I opened my mouth my ability to speak would be flooded with tears. I pulled out my sheets of paper and pen, and began to write to him. He had always wanted to read my poetry, and this was my last chance to give it to him. I titled it, 'Naveel'.
Three agonizing hours later, we arrived at our destination. My cousin opened the front door, still in her pajamas. We hugged for what seemed like several minutes, my head resting on her chest and our arms wrapped around each other. A big lump was forming inside my chest and crawling into my throat. I didn't know if I was going to barf or if it was all my fear jumbled together, unable to go away.
After arranging to pick up two other friends before heading to the funeral, my cousin was dressed in her white salwar kameez as well and we were ready to go. As we drove in and out of streets, the fear inside me was building, the sick feeling was increasing, and my eyes unlocked all the tears they were holding in all morning. My tears quickly disappeared when the van filled up with all five of us. For a little while, it seemed like things were normal. We were even laughing and speaking of Naveel as if he was right there with us. Until-
"There it is," my cousin said, making a left at the intersection. I swallowed hard, but that lump had gotten ten times bigger than before. I saw the Mosque ahead of us and my whole body turned into jell-o.
We all got out of the van, and I fixed my duputta over my head, using the window as a mirror. Not knowing where to go, we huddled close together, and walked toward the small crowd of people standing by the doors. They were some of the other employees we all, and Naveel, worked with. I hadn't pictured being reunited with them in this way, at this place. My cousin and I introduced them to my mother, and I left her in a deep conversation with two of the ladies there. As I stood separated from everyone else, I scanned the area quickly, looking for my sweetheart. Where is he? More than anyone else, I wanted to see him at that very moment. Maybe if I saw him, he would tell me the text message really was a joke, and that this wasn't happening at all. But he wasn't anywhere in sight.
A van pulled up close to us, and head's began turning to see who had arrived. I felt myself break into pieces; my heart ripped apart like stitches of an old wound, as I watched Naveel's parents and younger sister step out of the van. His parents were surrounded by people I failed to recognize, who held them up as if they could fall at any moment. This is actually happening? His sister and I locked eyes immediately, and before letting another heartbeat go by, I was embracing her as tight as I could. I wouldn't let her out of my grip or my sight. I wasn't going to let anyone take her away, too.
"He's gone, guys! He's left us!" she cried into my shoulder. Over the same shoulder, my angel appeared again, putting her arms over both of us.
"No, beta, don't cry. You have to be strong. You have to be strong for your parents, okay?" my mother told her.
We were now being told to go inside. As we made our way in, we removed our shoes and followed the elder women into a room where we all stood behind a wall that separated the men from us women. I wanted to ask someone why this was, but I kept my inquiries to myself, staying close to my cousin and mother. Naveel's sister was close by with many other family members and friends, and his mother sat on a chair, crying out helplessly to him.
"Naveel! Look...look at how many of your friends came here to see you. You have so many friends," she sobbed. Other ladies came and sat by her, putting their arms around her. I looked away. I can't bear this.
Most of the women began sitting down and my mother, my cousin and I sat by Naveel's sister. Her eyes stared into space and her face remained emotionless and dazed. She didn't even blink. I kept my hand on hers and tried swallowing that huge lump again, but my attempt to make it disappear only made it bigger.
A man came in from another room and we were told we could go see the body now, with specific instructions not to touch it. Now he's only a body? It was the moment I had been dreading. Taking a deep breath, I got up to face the biggest fear of my life. There I saw him; my jaan, my life, my everything, standing by the wall in a brown kurta, hands behind his back, lips pursed together. He looked back at me for only a moment and looked away, but for that one moment I saw in his face something I never thought I'd see in him. Fear. The same fear I was feeling all morning. In that one moment I wanted nothing more than to run to him, to be held by him, to tell him to take me away from here. But I kept my distance, realizing where we were. I approached the casket with my cousin and my mom behind me, the rest of the women following.
When I saw him lying there, it was as if all the oxygen from the room had been suddenly sucked out. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. I pulled my duputta across my mouth, which in no time was absorbing every tear that fell from my eyes. I was so close to him. And it really was him. So innocent. So pale. So helpless. Eyes closed, mouth open, wrapped in a white cloth. I was staring at him so hard; I thought I saw him move. When I looked up to see if anyone else had noticed, I paused seeing all the faces around me. So many women. Some only standing there. I heard moans and cries of agony behind me. I saw my cousin on the other side of the casket with my mother holding her, wiping her tears. Nobody took notice to my observing them. I looked down again to see him and he flashed before me so alive, so full of energy on my last day at work. He had his right arm draped around my shoulders, telling me not to cry, telling me four months in Windsor with my parents wouldn't be so bad, telling me when I'd come back to Toronto, he'd be here waiting for me.
He had said he would be waiting for me.
Naveel! I screamed at him in my head, Come on, Naveel, get up. I know you're not dead. It's me, you're best friend, you're favorite buddy. I'm here now. Open you're eyes. Get up! Please, Naveel!
"Oh mera beta!" His mother cried to him beside me, "my sweet, loving beta..."
Getupgetupgetupgetup!! I shouted again. I couldn't understand it. Why wasn't he getting up? Again, I saw him, my last night here. He had driven all the way to my cousin's house just to say goodbye to me and give me a letter and CD with 'Open this with a smile, otherwise don't open it', written on top. He hugged me and said he would see me soon.
My stomach ached from crying so hard. This was that same Naveel. My poor Naveel. So honest. So caring. So full of love. I tried to picture how his black Acura crashed into the light pole that came smashing down on him and it was horrifying. I scanned his face for any marks or wounds. But, surprisingly, there was nothing. Not one scratch on him.
A lady pushed from behind me, sobbing, "He's sleeping! Just look. He's sleeping in peace." She stretched out her arm to caress his head, and his mother quickly pushed it away.
"Don't touch him!" She summoned the lady, still sobbing.
Another woman, with a familiar face, stood across from me, holding the hand of a young boy, pointing to Naveel, asking him, dumbfounded if he had remembered him. The poor boy looked so confused. I felt a tight squeeze on my left shoulder. It was my cousin, out of breath from crying, holding me close to her, resting her head by mine. I glanced up to see her pretty face so full of pain.
"Oh my God," we heard Naveel's mother gasp. Everyone shifted their gaze toward her, and then to what she was gawking at. Blood was dripping from the head of the casket on to her foot. It was as if God was signaling to us, assuring us he really was dead. It was a cruel and harsh reality, which was unbearable for me to face. We were quickly escorted out by the men so they could clean up the mess. A huge crowd of us stood outside the mosque in the blistering heat, waiting for what was to happen next. So many people had come for Naveel. He had touched so many people. The main doors of the mosque flew open, and the casket was being carried out. I saw my jaan directly in the front and it appeared painful to be carrying. I wished I could help. I heard one voice wail out so loud over the noise of all the people, and through the mess of bodies I saw Naveel's pregnant cousin screaming. Her painful shrieks must have haunted the skies, because for a moment, the sun had disappeared behind the clouds. And then she fell to the ground like a withered rose. People ran to retrieve her. I felt like I was in a traumatic Bollywood movie. This couldn't be happening.
Another one of Naveel's cousins stood by me, who was also in the accident. Seeing my terrified face, he took me in his arms as I cried onto his chest.
"It's okay," he whispered, "its okay."
We followed the van that was carrying Naveel's casket to Brampton Memorial Gardens, and all the men carried him to the spot where he was to be buried. The women were prohibited from being there, so we all watched from a distance. I saw my darling fall back on the ground, after they had thrown the dirt onto the casket. His face was buried in his hands and a friend of ours helped him up and walked with him away from the grave site. I couldn't tell if he was crying, but I prayed he wasn't. They can't be burying Naveel, I thought. He's only eighteen. He still has to fulfill all of his hopes and dreams. It angered me to notice that he meant more to me now, than he ever did before, but maybe he did mean this much to me when he was here, and I just never realized it. I had taken his friendship for granted.
"Don't cry," I heard my cousin say to me, "Naveel wouldn't want you to cry." I nodded my head. Then why did he leave me here... The women were beginning to walk to his burial site now, and I slowly followed behind. I saw some young girls placing single red roses on the dirt, and I wished I had a million to give him, but I didn't even have one. I finally stood above his grave and stared into the ground, wondering how they could have left him there. I closed my eyes, and fixed my duputta as the breeze suddenly grew quick and cold.
* * *
It suddenly turns cold and I open my eyes. I try to swallow my lump of emotions, but it has already begun its regurgitation; blinding me, choking me. I begin to walk towards where he lay and fix my duputta over my head. This is the fourth time I've come here since that day, and it still feels like the first time. Holding on to my flowers with one hand, with the other I retrieve another letter to Naveel from my pocket. Looking up I see the clouds are still strolling through the sky and the sun peers down at me powerfully. I wonder if that's him up there, telling me it's okay. But it's all such a mystery. Your death and my life. I will never understand it.

In Paris's P?re-Lachaise cemetery, Jim Morrison's graffiti-scrawled tombstone is a place of pilgrimage for local devotees, adolescent hedonists and wayward backpackers alike. Found dead in his bathtub aged only 27 having achieved worldwide stardom as lead singer of The Doors, Morrison was quickly immortalised amongst the rock and roll deity such as Hendrix and Joplin. In death, however, this debauched 'rock poet' remained more stubbornly enigmatic than ever. Who was the real Jim Morrison? Nihilist, egoist, shaman: he was a master of self-creation. A mosaic mythology of new-age hippy rhetoric, French poetry and Nietszchean symbolism obscured a man trapped by the mythology that he had so carefully constructed around himself. In this colourful and intimate biography, Dylan Jones strips bare the skin-tight leather suit of Jim Morrison's Lizard King persona, and offers a frank and honest appraisal of a much beloved and often-romanticised counter-cultural icon. Mr Mojo is littered with little-known anecdotes from fellow stars, spurned lovers and industry moguls. It is a refreshingly honest portrait of a self-indulgent artist with a penchant for pageantry and public self-destructio

Discussion in 'Disney Rewards Programs' started by Hedy, Sep 14, 2007.
Haven't gotten my Disney Dollars yet, though.
WOW cool...I only ordered $18 Disney Dollars...so hopefully soon...I did get my CD post-its yesterday.
Log in or Sign up
to hide this advert.
I got my $6.30 via paypal today for August. It's not a lot, but that's one counter service meal for one of us for our next trip!
I got my disney dollars feather prize earlier in the week. I am still waiting on a disney gc and a check. Hopefully tomorrow.
every little bit adds up. I only have a 12 check and 5 DD coming but if I do that every month for the next year it would be 144 and 60! It adds up. I now have a thermometer where I color in every time I get some money. It is helping seeing the little add up.
I just logged on and my LAST Disney Dollar payment went to completed on the 14th of September, so I should have them any day!!
Is everyone planning on going back to CD??
Was you DD a feather prize or a cashout? I can't seem to find where to check on my feathre cashout.
Honestly I'm so into SR that I'm not sure if I will go back. I am just doing so well at SR now. I'll give CD a try but I know where I will be spending the majority of my time.
I Agree...I'm doing pretty good mainly with SR, and QR as well. So I think I will stick to those two. And that's it.
I am kinda skeptical about going back, I will check it out, but I kinda feel like she bailed out on us because things were going as well as before and now she is missing the $$ and is coming back. I could be wrong, but I sure would have felt better had she ridden it out with less offers till the storm waters cleared.
Yeah I was really surprised she paid up. I'm sure it was because she was coming back. If she wanted to do a site redesign she should have been upfront with everyone and just said it and taken the site down for a little bit. I'm not too sure what is going to be different over there. Like I said I'll check it out but I probably won't stay.
I got my 5 DD feather prize today. She should have sent the check with it to save her a stamp. Wonder when I will get that small check. Nice seeing more Disney money!
I got my $5.00 dd also today. All I have left is a ceramic duck bank. Oh well, April
Still waiting on my GC and check.
I got my check today it wasn't much ($6.60 ) but its money
My DD arrived today.
Got my final checks from CD yesterday!!!! I am so excited, put them in the back, and have send a needed payment to the credit card company!!!!
Today was a boring mail day. I am waiting for my CD check, sent the 14th, and my SR Disney Dollars and my brokengold check so I am always anxiously awaiting the mail lady and I got nothing today, not even any freebies.
I got mine on Monday, both my DD for my feathers and my check $. I'll definitely give CD another try once it comes back. I'm just starting to get the hang of SR right now, so might try and juggle both of them and see how it goes.
I am STILL waiting on my Disney Dollars
I got my final check today.
I don't know if I'll go back to Cash Duck or not. I think I'll probably try a few things out and see how it goes. Honestly I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to do hardly any of the Reward Programs the past couple of months. I'm definitely going to lose my Supermember status at Sunshine next quarter. My last check is nearly all of a referral earning from my one referral that was active.
I like CashDuck, but the site has certainly been in a turmoil the past 3 months or so and that makes it really hard to want to commit. It did pay well however and you have to like that.

Stranger In The Night
So it started as any regular night after school. After fighting off my 8 year old sister, for the last can of spam in the refrigerator. That being the only thing available for dinner, as usual. On a count of my fat hag mom spends all of the money she makes on satellite t.v. and an up to date movie collection... But thats neither here nor there..
So I left the one bedroom trailer to meet up with Jackson to go throw eggs at trucks off the bridge overlooking the highway.. ah back in those days there was nothing I liked more then the sound of a fresh egg cracking on the windshield of a transport truck doing 130km/hr. Now the sound I adore the most is the sound of any random sharp object piercing the skin of a strange and possibly innocent monster.
WHAM It went! I stayed there laughing my head off as Jackson bolted down the street after I threw my first egg.
"AHAHAHAHAHA Jackson get back here you FREAKING CHILD!! YOUR A BABY OF A MAN!!"
Jackson turned around and walked back towards me in shame.
"Come on Jackson, give one a toss.."
"Well as long as you will respect me... I guess"
Jackson hurled his egg at the first transport he saw and watched as it splattered on the windshield. The truck slammed on its break causing the trailer to fish tale to the side blocking the whole highway as cars behind crashed into it. The man driving the truck got out and looked up at us as we stared back. The Man stretched his arms up to the bridge while also stretching his legs.. Like some kind of hideous limb stretching monster! He pulled himself up and spoke..
"Just what do you two little pricks!! Think your doing!!?"

Russell Woolf
Russell Woolf is a Western Australian media personality best known for having presented the afternoon Drive programme on Perth's radio station 720 ABC.
Woolf was born and raised in Perth. After finishing high school he spent a year in Israel[1] before returning to Perth to study at the University of Western Australia and Curtin University.[2] In his mid-20s he studied broadcasting at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. He worked as a presenter for 6SE Radio West in Esperance for 18 months, then spent two years at 6KG in Kalgoorlie, before joining the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1997 as its Karratha-based resources reporter, a position he held for five years.[1][3][4][5] Woolf then returned to Perth where he co-hosted 720's afternoon show with Verity James. In 2005 he took over the late afternoon Drive programme, where he remained until resigning from the ABC in December 2013.[6][7]
Woolf was also the weather presenter for Perth's ABC News from 2007 to 2011. The role has removed by the ABC for budgetary reasons; subsequently the weather was presented by the main newsreader (Karina Carvalho at the time).[3][8][9]
Woolf is an ambassador for the Western Australian Commissioner for Children and Young People,[10] and a patron of Inclusion WA.[11]
He was a candidate in the 2014 WA Senate by-election (together with Verity James) on a "Save Our ABC" platform.[5][12]
In 2015 Woolf announced he was moving with his family to the United States, leaving his position as host of Saturday Breakfast on 720 after his last show on 12 December 2015.[13]
Personal life[edit]
Woolf is married and has a daughter, born in 2008.[1][14][2]

Chapter 8Mature
"What?" Marcus hadn't noticed anyone talking up to this point, paying more attention to the screen and gameplay. Catherine pointed him towards Alex's exposed arm.
"What happened?" Catherine asked, leaning on the table. As he was slowly being surrounded by his friends, the scents from each of them grew stronger. "When did you get bitten like that?"
"About two weeks ago." Alex replied, finally dropping his sleeve once Marcus saw the injuries.
"Two weeks ago, when you stopped near my place at night?" Nathan asked. Alex nodded to him.
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Catherine asked.
"Because I've patched up bites before. I didn't really need to."
"That didn't look like surface damage to me."
"Guys, it's OK. They're fully healed, and I'm just fine."
"Wait. Is this why you tried to tell me about someone using attack dogs on Angela?" Nathan said.
Alex tried to respond first, but Marcus beat him to it. "Say what?"
"Remember that girl we found?" Nathan looked back to Alex once Marcus nodded. "You said that…"
"…someone could've used dogs on her? Yeah." Trying not to tremble outside of his chest, Alex kept talking. "Dogs will go after someone's legs first, and she was crawling away from something when we found her, not running."
"Makes sense." Marcus said.
"Yeah, but I have a hard time believing someone's doing something like that." Catherine said.
"It was just a thought I had." Alex said. "Maybe I'm overthinking it, or something."
"Still, what came after you? Did you see it?"
"Not clearly but I saw the pelt. It was solid black, or dark grey, and tan. That's not from any dogs I know."
"Grey wolves can have colors like that." Marcus explained.
Alex paused to think, acting as if he was trying to remember. "I stand corrected."
"Still, why didn't you just go to the hospital or something?"
"I can't stand hospitals. Never have."
Catherine sighed lightly. "At least you're OK, though."
"Yeah. The police likely know about this thing already, though. Evening and daytime patrols are up."
"Guess that explains the three pull overs we saw coming here."
Looking to Nathan, Alex gave him a look concerning Angela's missing body. His expression said it was better to not say anything. "Anyway, you guys want to order out or go eat? I'm up for either one."
Going with the option to order out, as the group filled their plates, Bailey walked around them with his head held up looking at each person with a plate. Rubbing his head, Marcus asked if he was able to be fed anything from their pizzas, handing several pieces of cooked hamburger to him with Alex's approval. After each one, Bailey sat awaiting more as if they were training treats.
Noticing his pet behaving that way, Alex suggested something to Marcus. "Try telling him to shake or roll over before you give him some more. He'll listen."
Marcus nodded, looking over to Bailey and getting him to sit. "Good boy. Roll over." Lying down on his chest, Bailey listened but stopped at lying on his back, his tongue lolling from his mouth. "Not quite, but that works." Holding the hamburger piece near Bailey's muzzle, he lapped it out of his fingers but the meat bounced off his nose and to the floor, making him upright himself and scarf it down before Nathan went next. Catherine was slightly apprehensive about trying it but resorted to simply tossing meat to him.
The remainder of the night well into midnight was spent quickly as the four continued eating and talking between bouts of watching internet videos on Nathan's laptop. Having his friends nearby and laughing up a storm as the videos played helped take Alex's mind off the coming transformation.

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR READERS • Advice from Charles Lipson, in How to Write a BA Thesis (Chicago, U of Chicago P, 2005). • First "think on paper" in order to generate ideas. • Then visit several faculty members. Sound each of them out about your area of interest and the topic(s) you are considering. • Prepare those meetings: outline your area of interest and your questions about it. • Tell how well equipped you are to investigate your area and what skills you still need to hone for it. • Bring along an annotated list of relevant courses that you have taken, seminar papers you have written, special skills you have. HOW TO WORK WITH YOUR THESIS DIRECTOR • "Bring your own agenda and questions to each meeting." • "At the end of each meeting, set a time and a specific task for the next meeting." • "Use brief regular meetings to keep your project on track." • "Try to do some brief informal writing for most meetings." Bring along two copies. • A tip on how to "prime the pump" for such writing: Whenever you complete a set of readings, write a bibliographic essay in which you delineate the most important items read. Outline the major points found by you in each author or critic, and also note your own responses. Christine de Pizan at her writing desk

Dublin Making Big Plans for 100th Anniversary Celebration
The tiny Bucks County borough is looking forward to a memorable party to mark historic milestone
'We're planning an memorable celebration with events planned for all ages that weekend as we celebrate the past while looking to the future," said Dublin Mayor Christopher Hayes.
The festivities will begin Friday, September 7 at 6:30 p.m. when The Philadelphia Funk Authority takes the stage at the Dublin Firehouse (Route 313 and Rickerts Road). Known for their dance and party music, TPFA will play a two-hour concert guaranteed to get the crowd on its feet.
On Saturday, the firehouse will be open from 8 a.m. until noon for a delicious breakfast to get the activities going. At 9 a.m., a 5K Run/1-mile Walk will start and end at the firehouse, and include a comfortable trek on scenic back roads and through the historic Pearl S. Buck property.
Starting at 1 p.m., there will be the "Decades of Dublin" Parade. Starting on Maple Avenue heading west, the parade will represent the history of Dublin through the years as it turns left and heads up Main Street before ending at the firehouse at about 2 p.m.
That's when the Dublin Birthday Celebration swings into high gear with a festival that includes an Antique Car Show (4 p.m. - 8 p.m.), kids rides and face painting (1 p.m. - 7 p.m.), vendors and artisans, food and live music on two stages.
At 8:30 p.m., a spectacular fireworks display (across from the firehouse) will light up the night sky and bring the day to a memorable conclusion.
The celebration will resume on Sunday at 11 a.m. with a Muscle Car Show at the firehouse and an Artsfest celebration at the Dublin TEC Center. Kids rides and face painting also will be available.
"We may be small as a municipality but we're thinking big for this celebration,"
As a lasting tribute to the borough's rich history, Hayes is spearheading "The Mayor's Race for the Clock," an effort to raise funds to purchase and install a town clock in time for the birthday celebration. To be located at borough-owned property at Main Street and Middle/Maple avenues, the clock will serve as a centerpiece of pride as unique as the borough itself.
The main source of funding for the clock will come from the sale of memorial bricks that will be installed at the base of the clock. Priced at either $150 (6 inches by 12 inches) or $75 (6 inches by 6 inches) the bricks can be inscribed with a family or business name as a lasting tribute to the borough's history.
The borough is also selling special commemorative crocks, calendars and holiday ornaments. Quantities are limited - order before they sell out! Proceeds will help defray the cost of organizing the anniversary celebration.
For more information about becoming a sponsor or buying a brick, please visit www.dublinborough.org or call 215-249-3310, extension 105.

My car tends to be an SUV magnet, so I park far away so that I can see around my vehicle better when loading up and pulling out. It's not like I don't need the exercise.

Far enough away so that I would not have to fight with the folks that would fight for a space. Legs work fine for now, so I use them. If I can catch a close space thats fine. But if I am heading towards the store, I just grab a spot as I get to the mass of cars trying to get close.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!

I never park next to 'junkers'. I look for spaces with the extra-wide handicapped or the curb on one side to avoid dings in my car. If I can't find that, then I'll park at the end of a large lot.

I avoid parking in dark places when possible. I also park as close to the store as I can. I figure the closer to the door, the more witnesses arounds, and BGs don't like witnesses (and my knees are shot, long distances bother me). The farther away, the fewer witnesses and easiler unseen getaway for the BGs. So ... park close where people are around, or park far away where no people are around?
Other than that, I don't get paranoid about it. There's enough to worry about already other than where I park.

I try to park in a lit spot that is visible to other people coming in/out of the store. I will also always back in to the spot. Of course, if it is a "one way" arrangement (where the slots are slanted), I will not do that, because then it is very difficult to get out, plus when you do, you are driving the wrong way.
Other than that, if you can, the morning is a great time to go the stores. Less chance of encountering any BG, the stores have far fewer customers in them, and all the stock is fresh and restocked (or is being restocked).
The other advantage of parking next to the corral is it eliminates a quick suprise attack from someone hiding in the car next to you or acting like they are getting into the car next to you. Of course all they would have to do is push a cart to the corral to act "normal" and get within distance of you. I don't think most BG's would think of this though.

I can't stand people that drive around the front area looking for the closest spot they can find. Bunch of sniggelfritters. I park away from everyone. No door dings and a little walk does you good. My motto is..."always go where the people are not".
"Confidence is food for the wise man but liquor for the fool"
closest spot available and always back in...has nothing to do with being tactical...has everything to do with the way i was brought up...our vehicles are backed in the driveway also....i dont think about getting robbed r mugged when i pull into a parking lot...i just try to be aware of my surroundings regardless of where i am...
does everyone actively and continuously think the way they post when they are on line?...does it make it hard to function in your normal daily routines?....or do you just get used to thinking about all the bad things that can happen to you everywhere you go?...
It is a continously running program, running in the "background", so to speak.
I "back into" or "pull through" to the closest space I can find.
The only time I "pull into" a space is when the lane is to narrow or one way; and does not allow me to "back" into the space.
I "rarely" ever go out after dark. But, when I do, I park close as I can and be in the light.
I usually back in everywhere I go, whenever I'm driving. I ALWAYS ALWAYS try to get a spot at the end(In other words, next to the curb.). I really prefer the ones that don't have a spot behind it, or beside it. That reduces that amount of vehicles able to park directly next to mine, therefore reducing the possible damages incurred. My personal daily driver is a old clunky Ford 4x4 pickup, so while I'm not too worried about the looks of it, I still park way in the back b/c I'd hate to make it look worse for no good reason; And old habits die hard. If I'm by myself, or with friends, they have to get over it and do some walking lol. I've had alot of nice vehicles, that I was paranoid about. Family needs,and lack of funds mean I'm stuck with basic transportation that gets the job done.
Typically if I'm driving our '09 Toyota, then I'd have our 7 month old daughter. In which case, I'm looking for the most convenient parking spot I can fit in ,lol.
I like to park close, and face out. I prefer the 1st spot in the row of cars. I park like this everyday at work(own a jewelry store). this way my car is exposed on one side and i can park very close to the curb(protects car from dings). If I cant park in a choice spot, I always walk down the wrong isle, then cut over shortly before my car. This way I can see if someone is following me.

-not in front of the building
-not directly in front of the building
-away from bushes if I can
-not beside a van when I park
-not in dark lighting, if I can avoid it
I park as close as I can, to the store I am going to enter, always, period.
It could be worse!
I suppose
I generally park as far away from other cars as I can and back it in. I am quite capable of walking and if the car is out in the open BGs can't really sneak up on me easily.

Bellona: BetrayalMature
Could it be true? Serenata's father was a danger?
He's absolutely mad but....surely he wouldn't hurt anyone!
Then I remembered Singir, the terrible creature he had awakened and the death of almost all of the pirates aboard the ship I had arrived on.
"Death is his constant companion," Madame Kovarian told me gravely, her hand still stretched out towards me.
In that moment, the creature reared back to strike. I grabbed her hand, allowing her to pull me out of harms way.
The giant spider-thing roared in frustration, snapping its mandibles at us. Madame Kovarian drew a knife from her belt, running beneath the creatures belly. It stamped its goo encrusted legs, trying to crush her.
Jumping up, she plunged the blade into its underside. The creature shuddered for a moment, mandibles twitching wildly before it exploded, spraying green ick everywhere.
I swiped gobs of the stuff off of my arms. I could only stare at the split open carcass of the insectoid.
"And that, is how you kill them," Madame Kovarian gasped, hands on her knees.
I wandered towards the dead spider beast. One of its legs still twitched, kicking the air.
Looking back at the Madame, I uttered the words that would decide my fate forever.
"I accept,"

Hello there..... I went through your query..... In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, mentrual irregularities occurs...... Consult your Gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.....

Скачать Ellen Siever, «Linux in a Nutshell» бесплатно
6 августа 2009 | Автор: Admin | Рубрика: Компьютерная литература » Руководства к программам | Комментариев: 0
Linux in a Nutshell, now in its fourth edition, has won awards in the Linux community as the most indispensable book about Linux. It is an essential desktop reference for the commands that users of Linux utilize every day, with the depth of information and the practical, succinct "In a Nutshell" format that made the previous editions so popular. Comprehensive but concise, Linux in a Nutshell covers all substantial user, programming, administration, and networking commands for the most common Linux distributions. It's several quick references rolled into one: sed, gawk, RCS, CVS, vi, Emacs, bash, tcsh, regular expressions, package management, bootloaders, and desktop environments are all covered in this clear, to-the-point volume, along with core command-line utilities. The fourth edition continues to track the major changes in bootloaders, the GNOME and KDE desktops, and general Unix commands. Several commands related to CDs and music reflect the evolution of multimedia on Linux. Coverage has been added for GRUB, which has become the default bootloader on several Linux distributions, and for vim, the popular and feature-loaded extension to vi. The addition of several new options to the iptables firewall command and new commands related to DNSSEC and ssh show the book's value as a security tool.

The manufacturing industry has lost 2.8 million jobs since Mr. Bush took office in 2001. Although it 's difficult to ascertain how many of these have been outsourced, a study by the Economic Policy Institute estimated that about 60 percent of manufacturing jobs were sent abroad. Almost one million jobs have been lost in the professional service and information sectors. Although the manufacturing industry has been hit the hardest, job losses in the information technology (IT) sector are a close second.
During President Bush 's first term his administration viewed outsourcing as business as usual. The Economic Report of the President in 2004 announced, "When a good or service is produced at lower cost in another country, it makes sense to import it rather than to produce it domestically. " N. Gregory Mankiw, Chairman of President Bush 's Council of Economic Advisors, was asked to defend the findings of the report and he stated, "Outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade. More things are tradable than were tradable in the past. And that 's a good thing. " But for millions of Americans who have lost their jobs to overseas employers, this is hardly "a good thing. "
Some policies of the Bush administration are supportive of outsourcing. During the first three years that President Bush was in office his administration only brought ten cases before the World Trade Organization for violating trade rules with America. By contrast, during the second Clinton administration, 33 cases of trade violations were lodged with the World Trade Organization. In March of last year a petition was filed with the Department of Labor claiming that China 's suppression of workers ' wages and export prices was violating the Trade Act. Passed by Congress in 1974, the Trade Act allows the president to sanction a country committing unfair trade practices that gives them an improper trade advantage. Unfortunately, the Bush administration rejected the petition, maintaining that imposing sanctions on China could lead to "economic isolationism. "
In 1974 Congress passed the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act (TAA) to help workers who lost jobs owing to increased imports and outsourcing. The TAA, which provides for income assistance and job retraining skills, was renewed in 2002. However, the Bush administration has purposely failed to promote it. Despite 2.8 million manufacturing jobs having been lost since President Bush took office, few workers have been able to take advantage of the TAA. In 2002, only 233,204 workers were approved for assistance; in 2003, only 197,024 workers were approved. Approvals declined even further last year, to 147,658 workers.
If President Bush wants to ensure that every American has a job, he will have to change how his administration has viewed outsourcing. The government will have to encourage keeping jobs at home, something it has been reluctant to do for fear of alienating big business. It must lobby Congress to impose penalties on companies who outsource needlessly. And the Bush administration must provide widespread assistance to workers who have fallen victim to outsourcing.
