Right now I am sitting at our infinity pool in Medan, relaxing, listening to 2 temples down the way... praying? It's like they are having a "praying battle," as Jessica commented. I find it very calming. We arrived today from Lake Toba, and before that, we took an excursion from Bukit Lawang to visit the elephant sanctuary.

... nevertheless a nice fellah. 8:30 we arrived back at the hotel. Exhausted like no other we hit the bed, knowing that we had a maximum of three hours before we had to check out again. The alarm went and the 3 hours had passed like it was seconds, we jumped out of bed, packed our bags and headed for the bus station. The three of us decided to immediately go to the city Malang considering that Bondowoso had absolutely nothing to offer. Another 12 hours later, yes it seems like every ...

He said the females are easy to spot with their 'big round ass' and the males have a big head and small bum. Good to know!

I haven't had the opportunity lately to dig up more favorite quotes to post, but with all sorts of things going on this week (with friends,family, and work) I thought this was the perfect time to post a bunch of different quotes--nothing is like the one before it, but they always get me thinking just about how lucky we all really are. We have problems, sure, but in the big scheme of things, my problems seem oh so small when I look at others out there... family members in the war, not enough money to put food on the table, people losing their jobs and having to give up their homes. I am truly blessed!

This review is from: Transcend JetFlash 600 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model TS32GJF600
Writes at 15.9 to 16.2 MB/s out of the box! Smaller in size to the retractable Transcends I have.
I have no cons! Well maybe it could have been cheaper!
Other Thoughts:
Good construction, it feel like quality in your hand unlike a sandisk which is bulky and cheap. I tried to get away cheap with a sandisk but had to send it back because it wrote so painfully slow 1-3 MB/s. I'll stick with Transcend even if it is a little more!!

Thoughts-Shayla-The Prep
I hate people who think they are better than me. They're not. I'm the best person on Earth. Everyone wants to be me. I mean, who wouldn't? I'm rich, popular, beautiful, and smart. Oh, and I get everything I want. Of course, I deserve everything I want. Now that I think about it, I deserve more! I'm such a good person. I should be rewarded for that. Right now. I'm going to have my dad go by me a new car. What car do I want though? I already have a Mustang, a Camaro, and a Fararri. Oh, I know. I want a Lamborguini. That's it! Wait, why ask!? I'll just take his credit card and go buy it myself. That way he won't get the wrong one. I'm such a genius! Okay, off to get a new car.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell
I was 6 at the time. They only thing I knew about the numbers 911 was to not dial them on the phone unless there was an emergency. September 11 happened to be a day when our school had a late start. Everyone was asleep. My uncle from Taiwan gave my parents a wake-up call and told them to turn on the TV. Needless to say, that scene was more potent then their coffee.
They decided that a 6 year old wouldn't be very happy to be woken up to see the horrific incident that he wouldn't understand, so I continued to sleep. They woke me up at my normal time, the same way they usually do. Even at that young age, I still knew that something was forced about how they acted as they made breakfast and sent me to school. My parents mentioned nothing. Neither did my teacher.
I don't remember when I discovered what had happened that day. I don't remember any feelings of shock, anguish, or anger. I was probably too young to remember anything. It's probably for the best.

When I click on the little microphone in the search engine text box a message says "No Internet Connection" but I obviously have an Internet connection because I am on Google's site. I then use Cortana's voice search by clicking the microphone at the bottom of my screen (taskbar) and it completely works. If I use Google Chrome browser and click the little microphone icon in the Google search box, it works perfectly. Just not in Avant with the Google Chrome Engine as the default. I chose this for the purpose of being able to use the voice search like I do in Chrome. I prefer Avant to Chrome or IE or Firefox. But I use them all. I just wish Avant with Chrome engine would be able to use the voice search feature. It does this on all 3 laptops and 2 desktops in our house when we use Avant. Right now we are just using Cortana but Cortana will only let you use Bing as a search engine. While I understand why Microsoft did that, I don't like my hand being forced because if I want to use Google as a search engine, I should be able to. Bing is fine as well, just don't like being forced into something.
If you could maybe give me an idea of some setting I could change in Avant Browser Options, I'd appreciate it... or a firewall issue. Thank you

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

My point or question is the cumulative effect of code additives. My opinion is that: 1) design the column for stiffness and deflection with a slenderness factor K equivalent to 2.1 (locating the load 2.1 time the unsupported height of the column). 2) Do we then design the connection based upon 3Rw/8 times the reaction of the column designed with a theoretical K of 2.1 (a cumulative effect) OR Do we redesign the column substituting 3Rw/8 for the theoretical K? Now, A) how do we design the connection of beam to column is the beam is wood and only used for a drag. B) Do we design the drag for the actual load, or the demand created by the increase caused by 3Rw/8 or the theoretical K? I know these sound elementary, but I have not been designing embedded pole footings within a structure based upon an increase in 3Rw/8 - but have used a K of 2.1. This brings up a question regarding the Hardy Wall product. The Hardy Frame was tested and submitted for ICBO approval based upon an Rw of 6 - not 3. Is this wrong, or simply interpretive? Dennis S.

Russia's relatively young insurance sector, although facing several challenges, is developing at an impressive rate, according to a new report by rating agency AM Best.
While insurance penetration is low at the moment – even across compulsory lines – the report predicts growth in premiums over the coming years, as standards of living and state spending increase, as well as the introduction of more compulsory lines.
"While the insurance sector is fraught with challenges, it is changing radically," said Yvette Essen, report author and director of industry research, Europe & emerging markets at AM Best.
"There has been a concerted effort to dispel the image that Russia's insurance market has a close association with tax-optimisation, with a crackdown on such grey schemes in recent years leading to a sharp decline in market participants.
"Commentators suggest that, considering the size of the insurance sector, no more than 100 insurers are warranted. Small companies exiting the market are expected to have little, if any, negative impact on overall premium growth, as the larger insurers have been increasing their dominance of the market."

EUR/USD: bears going to form wave D
There's a possible wave D, which is taking place on the four-hours chart. Previously, the price formed a pullback from 5/8 Murrey Math Level (P=200). So, it's likely that bears are going to reach 1/8 MM Level in the short term.
As we can see on the one-hour chart, there's a double zigzag in wave (x). Also, a bearish impulse in wave a was formed last Friday. In this cast, it's likely that bulls are going to deliver wave b during the day. If a pullback from 3/8 MM Level happens, there'll be an opportunity to have wave c of (c).

Angelo: Questioning my SanityMature
I was beginning to question my sanity. Something had definitely happened to me when I blacked out. What it all meant still alluded me. I decided that the best thing I could do was keep quiet for a while.
The last thing I needed was my family questioning my sanity. They already thought I was weird for not wanting to act like a normal Bertucci.
The Enforcer exchanged a few words with Tommy. Then, the enemy and his black car left. Even being as far away as I was, I could tell that Tommy wanted to do something, but Butch put a hand on his shoulder. At least someone was thinking.
The only other lingering question in my mind was with my new visions (impressions, whatever), how could I help my family?

To the editor: I am writing on behalf of Ring Dog Rescue (www.ringdogrescue.org), a pit bull rescue group in Richmond, Va. This note is in regard to your recent story on the purchase of a refurbished gassing chamber.
While you did not advocate the use of gas chambers, we would like to make your organization aware of the cruelty and inhumanity associated with these chambers such that you might consider advocating against them and using your media lever as a force for good.
To the editor: St. James Mayor Lesher's claim her town is pursuing forcible annexation only because they have not found "some other method" to "have some say in the commercial development of N.C. 211" is ridiculous and transparent. The elitism and greed shown by St. James is startling. It's also ominous and threatening.
Let's annex parts of St. James as a relocation area for Gitmo detainees. Then at least the residents would be giving something back and providing a public service, instead of just demanding and taking.
Brunswick County has a growing population of retired senior citizens.
Although they're not working anymore, you can be sure they have no plans to take it easy. From volunteering at schools and with church and civic organizations, to taking part in senior athletic leagues and games, Brunswick's senior population is active and making important, positive impacts on this community.
Being a parent is a tough job, and it's one that doesn't come with an instruction manual. Parents learn by doing and drawing on their own experiences and from those around them. Many look for positive role models to help them along the way.
That's why programs like the Communities in Schools Parenting Education Program are so important.
For 12 weeks, any parent in Brunswick County can be a part of the program that uses trained facilitators to work with parents and children. They focus on parenting, life and family skills.
Don't believe what you see in the movies or read in suspense thrillers—there's nothing glamorous about being a crime reporter.
Characters portrayed in books and movies may be cunning, clever and crime-solving, but their real-life counterparts sometimes have trouble sleeping at night after covering horrific events that transpired that day.
Courtroom dramas depict last-minute turns of events and heroic testimony, but, in reality, trials are long and emotionally draining.
It's hard to believe in just a couple of weeks we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving, and just a few weeks after that, Christmas will be here.
This is a busy time of year for most people in Brunswick County. From attending religious services to school, family and community events, there's barely time to get all things done before the year draws to a close.
When you think of Brunswick County, you probably think of the beach. While the county does claim some of the most beautiful strands in the country, there is much more than sand and shore.
With more than 850 square miles to comb through, there are bound to be interesting and unique people, places and things that are "Uniquely Brunswick County," and we want you to show us.
The second annual "Uniquely Brunswick County" photo contest has been open for several weeks. This is the last call for entries. The deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20.
With Thanksgiving just a week away, Darlene Dover is already thankful.
One month after the 73-year-old was slapped with a wheel boot on her car and $50 removal fee for mis-parking at the Sunset Beach Fishing Pier, an anonymous donor has come to her rescue.
On Oct. 27, an Ocean Isle Beach man who does not wish to be identified came to the Beacon office and left an envelope to be forwarded to Dover.

That tear-jerker about spaghetti
The woman tossed the spaghetti into the boiling water. She tossed the packet away, where it bounced of the rest of the trash in the overflowing trashcan. She worked methodically.
Watch for bubbles.
Stir the sauce.
Season to taste.
She didn't even have to taste it anymore, did not have to measure. She had done this too many times.
Spaghetti was his favorite.
The noodles were done. She took out the stainless steel colander, pour the spaghetti into it. The steam blinded her, burned her skin. Good. She grabbed the handle, tossed the spaghetti, the hot water splashing her arms. Good, good.
She grabbed the spoon, scooped the slippery noodles onto two spotless, white porcelain plates.
The sauce was done. She placed a large spoonful of tomato sauce on each plate, stopping for a moment to wipe her bleary eyes. Then she took both plates, one in each hand, to the table they had picked out together.
She ate without tasting, her eyes on his plate the entire time. And when she was done, she took his food and dumped it over the trash can. Most of it splattered to the floor, joining the already crusting remains of other spaghetti dinners. She had been at this for two months. Two months since she had innocently texted her husband as he came home from work.
Two months since he had died.
She carefully washed the porcelain plates. Then, she put another pot on stove to boil.
Spaghetti was his favorite.

About MeHi!! I'm on here because modeling is always something that has interested me, though I have never really had the opportunity to pursue it seriously.
I just graduated from my nursing program last fall, and was thinking about trying this out on the side to see where it might take me. I really don't have too much experience at this point but I suppose everyone has to start somewhere. I will NOT do nudes, but am not asking for any compensation either. My goal is to gain as much experience as I can, and to possibly make a few contacts and see what happens. I am open minded, eager and easy to work with. I do have a couple shots a close friend of mine took from our last vacay on here as a starting point.

Analysing the customer responses to the products can yield insight into the importance of the design factors and the relationships between emotional response and design factors. These relationships are the key to the importance of KE to the design process both in guiding design and in providing a broad portfolio of products. The design factors are derived from various sources; including designers and merchandising staff. Data mining and customer segmentation based on recency; frequency and value of purchases can also indicate which design factors are important. KE is expensive to do properly; so it is particularly important to prepare the groundwork carefully. This paper investigates what information can be obtained from data mining sales data as a pre-cursor to Kansei Engineering.

And of course you should make up different units peaceful and military character.

Only in this game you can control the past, present and future. It means that the game leads your civilization through 12,000 years of conquest. . If you are creative, you might want to make scenarios, maps that players can use. Online play is also available, so if your friends own it you could play together. You could get addicted to this game for a long time, since the campaigns are challenging and each random map is different.

Aiden: CompromiseMature
Thud. He landed perfectly. Though he had appeared out of thin air they had been expecting him, they knew he would come. The boy stayed in his crouch a moment, feeling the thick, golden rays beat onto his black hooded robes, feeling it radiate through his body as if this was the first time he had ever felt the sun. In one fluid motion he flicked his hood up, and looked around. If he was stunned, he didn't show it. His perfectly symmetrical face was a placid mask of arrogance. There were eight people on each point of a white stone star set in the ground of a desolate marketplace in the centre of the citadel. The people around the edge of the star were wearing flowing white robes, the exact opposite of the boys' own. Their skin was golden and their hair was sun-bleached, a stark contrast to his pale skin and chasm of black hair and bottomless blue eyes that seemed like embodiments of darkness and deceit. Beyond the star lined with people were small –and large- roads, alleyways and causeways leading off in different directions. There were throngs of people milling around stalls and shops selling objects that few could ever think of. The strange thing was, it was all golden, all of it. It was all a light golden hue of colours, even the burnt copper-gold sky that was void of clouds was uplifting. "Aiden." The boy responded immediately to his name. His head snapped round lithely and his body sprung into an opposing position with ease. He focused his full attention on the man at the head of the star.
"Silas is it? I thought I'd come and drop by, meet your precious Guardian club and all. You know, seeing as we've never met before." He spoke solely to the man, and his eyes never left his as he made vague hand motions.
"Well as a matter of fact, we have. But that's not why we're talking." There was silence for a beat. "We're compromising if you will. We want to make a deal. We know what you're searching for." He looked towards Michael, then back at Aiden. " We know where she is, but we need you to get us there."
"Where who is? And what makes you think I would help you?"
Aiden's head tilted up, his eyes were hard and mocking, but there was an arrogant sheen to them. There was a distinct snort that rang out through the air. All eyes glanced towards the source. It was a girl with bright red hair and yellow cat eyes. A flame flickered along the palm of her hand, like an oil slick set alight. Her eyes burned wildly with a flame that could not be snuffed.
"Idiot. We'll kill you. Even if you did escape by some kind of miracle you'd never find her, you don't even know where to start looking. The humans would notice your different to them, you'd scare them, you'd scare her. I mean, look at you. Your-" She gestured towards him, blinking oddly, as if she couldn't quite take him in. "You're not the only hybrid around here." She looked as if she might go on, and parted her thin lips to speak.
"Eve," Silas scorned. A silent command. Eve nodded, pursed her lips together, and stepped back slightly, with her head hung low.
"Aiden, you must believe me. You cannot find her without our help. You have no-where to stay, you know nothing about her. You need us. You need our help." Silas' body was stiff and rigid. His blonde hair rustled in the slight breeze and his blue eyes burned. Aiden's eye's widened in mock surprise. He splayed his hand out over his chest.
"What are you talking about? You need me?" Aiden stepped out of the centre of the star, closer to Silas, a smile lingering on his lips, he seemed to be playing along with the game. There was a moment where Silas' façade faltered, and he sighed.
"I must admit, I do feel loved. However you haven't persuaded me to help you. What would I gain for it? What if I never gave her to you? What if I killed her? You couldn't do anything about it." Smugness entered his voice as he spoke this, and a smile graced his lips, victorious and chivalrous. The Guardians around the star began to whisper to one another, some snorted, most laughed in disbelief, but they escalated until Silas final lifted a hand to silence them.
"Well you see Aiden, as long as you are contained within this pentagram you cannot leave. It is capable of holding any demon, necromancer or any other dark creature for that matter. It represents all eight of the realms, and the ninth is Earth where you are standing. Escape is impossible, unless it is permitted by one of the Guardians you see before you now, which I highly doubt will happen. If you attempt to step outside of the circle you will be burned to a cinder. So I suggest not trying to get to close to the edge of it. The only other way you could get out of it is to form an alliance with us, which is your only option considering you're not going to become one of us anytime soon."
"Maybe… I should test you're pentagram." Even as he said it, he stepped backwards, into the centre.
"You would die trying." It was Silas' turn to be smug. He had trapped Aiden, and he knew it. There was a few seconds pause as Aiden's eyes flitted along the rim of the eight pointed star they called a pentagram. There was a blue ring running around the outside of the circle around the star. He swallowed.
"Fine." His voice was flat, emotionless. He was devoid of control over the situation. How ironic that his key to victory was his demise.

John Maclean
Duration: 84 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Apr 16, 2015
IMDb: 6.8
While stylistically unique in imagery and tone, the latter wavering between gritty and darkly comic, the narrative of John Maclean's first film Slow West never entirely convinces.
It is possibly due to the minor running time of barely eighty minutes long. Set in America in 1870, the film is about sixteen year old Scottish lad Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a well educated, multilingual and determined fellow who's out of his depth in the violence of the West. While Indians are being slaughtered by Americans and their camps are being burnt to the ground, Jay searches for Rose (Caren Pistorious), the girl he loves. Rose and her father escaped Scotland after an accident involving Jay. After walking through the woods and being held at gunpoint, Jay is rescued by Silas (Michael Fassbender), an outlaw who shoots a soldier dead while still holding a cigar in the corner of his mouth. For a fee he escorts Jay across the countryside to find Rose and is surprised by the boy's optimism. His voice-over states: "To him we were in a land of hope and good will. The way I saw it, kick over any rock and a desperado will knife you in the heart." Their contrast in attitudes to the West reflects their life experience. Meanwhile, Silas' former gang, led by Payne (Ben Mendelsohn), continues to stalk them.
After making a short film with Maclean, Michael Fassbender opted to star and produce this debut film to guarantee its financing and exposure. There are however noticeable problems with the context of Maclean's script. An early twist in the piece is that Silas is using Jay to lead himself to Rose. There's a bounty on the head of herself and her father that Jay doesn't know about. The twist builds dramatic irony because we wonder if Jay will discover Silas' intentions. But it's contrived and implausible the West somehow knows about people all the way from Scotland, including having them on a wanted posted, and that Rose would be wanted dead or alive for something that wasn't her fault. Similarly, how Silas came to discover Jay's whereabouts is sketchy, hastily explained through the voice-over which says he's been tracking him. The weak exposition and geography of the characters continues into the bloody finale. Rose is living with her father and an Indian in a cabin in an open field, which isn't secluded for people in hiding. She is also more world-weary and skeptical of people than her father and a crackshot with a rifle. Even though this is a movie about adaptation, the story shapes Rose not through progression but as it pleases. Additionally, the brief flashbacks to Scotland show how Rose and Jay are from different classes of family, and how she only sees him as a brother, which is another good twist, but the brevity of these scenes suggests this was a longer film cut right down to size.
Some will argue Slow West isn't a film to be judged on authenticity or realism. It was filmed in New Zealand, which proves an attractive substitute for a typical Western location. The woodlands here, photographed through wide and long shots, characterise the narrative as a fairytale where a young man finds himself in the physical danger and metaphor of the forest. The film is aiming to become a semi-comic, tragic love story and a Darwinian examination of those adapting to the West. Jay meets a writer in a travelling caravan who tells him it's a new world for them and the Indians. Like the Indians who die, some will not survive the brutality of the West where money and personal ambition leads to uncontrollable violence. But adding surrealism is an obtuse stylistic goal, only for art-house posturing. There are strange unexpected shots in the film like a low angle to the sky where Jay aims his gun and makes the stars appear and weird episodes like Jay's encounter with the travelling writer. Also bizarre is a dream sequence with Rose and a baby, where I wasn't entirely sure if the dream belonged to Jay or Silas or both men collectively. While you appreciate the originality, it feels showy or lacking in purpose and meaning.
The two lead performances aren't hugely stretched by the minimalist dialogue and characterisation but work best in close-up shots. Smit-McPhee is a good young actor and while it's not a role that shows a huge spectrum of emotion, it's in the tighter shots like when he is being interrogated by Payne that he shows nervous energy in the character. Michael Fassbender is a solid presence whose best technique here is acting without dialogue, using his eyes, but there aren't that many close-ups in the film to give him the opportunity. His character changes, unlike Jay who doesn't have an arc but persists with his goal. Even a desperate immigrant he kills in a strong early scene is superfluous to the emotion or the interior of his character. The climax of the film robs him of learning anything or reaching a point of understanding about the West. The ending is also implausible and convenient, adjoining two characters who barely know each other. Could it be another dream? Maybe it's a case of the film being too brief because while it touches on immigrants, adaptation and change, it doesn't always seem credible.

Calculus by Michael Spivak[edit]
This book, in my opinion, is for students who appreciate the beauty of mathematics, one of the few absolutes in this world. The best word to describe this book is "unique". Its the first of its kind that most students will encounter in their lives. It will most likely be confusing for beginners, and some might even find it useless as application is largely excluded.
Sadly, the author's intentions seem to be violated, as students always are required to rush through material. Proofs are often memorized instead of being understood.
This book is widely used at the first year university level.
Why is the book referred to as 'perhaps even misleadingly titled"? It's titled Calculus, and it's a calculus textbook. Relevence to science and engineering has nothing to do with whether something is a calculus text. 22.214.171.124 03:03, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Because it makes it appear to be merely an ordinary calculus text, whereas it takes a quite unusual approach. Michael Hardy 00:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Mention should be made of the unusual approach, but I don't think it should refer to the title as misleading. The approach is unexpected, but it has nothing to do with the title. 184.108.40.206 23:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- Well, Nathan Jacobson's "Basic Algebra 1" and "Basic Algebra 2" are algebra textbooks (graduate level). Some people would think they're misleadingly titled since they sound like high school books. Spivak's calculus book is maybe comparable to Tom M. Apostol's book and also to Richard Courant's book, which I think were both similarly titled "Calculus" and I'd describe it as a calculus book that's more theoretical than most, but not misleadingly titled. I will try to rewrite that section of the article later. Does anyone here have a copy? Mine is long gone. Phr (talk) 04:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Blogs HNN Murray Polner: Review of Robert D. Parmet's The Master of Seventh Avenue: David Dubinsky & the American Labor Movement (New York University Press, 2005)Nov 6, 2005 9:44 pm
Murray Polner: Review of Robert D. Parmet's The Master of Seventh Avenue: David Dubinsky & the American Labor Movement (New York University Press, 2005)
Robert Parmet is Professor of History at York College of the City University of New York and author of Labor and Immigration in Industrial America.
His biography of David Dubinsky is the much-needed story of a powerful labor leader during the halcyon post-WWII era for labor unions (disclosure: I know him). It arrives, however, at a very different and difficult time for American labor.
America's industrial engine has largely been abandoned and service industries with low paid non-union employees predominate. We now live in an "anything goes" economy replete with corrupt and cutthroat competition and widespread firing of loyal employees who played by the rules and still got sacked. Stock prices often decide which firms and workers live or perish.
Outsourcing, cheap foreign imports, and manufacturers, retailers and consumers racing to buy anything produced as cheaply as possible in places most Americans have never heard of is our way of life.
Unions no longer attract educated professionals except for service jobs, and civil service employees. The future seems even more dismal, given the recent AFL-CIO split. And especially hurt by these sweeping changes is New York's Garment Center, once the source of Dubinsky's influence and authority.
All the more reason to welcome Robert Parmet's exceptional portrait of the life and times of a powerful labor leader who for years moved easily in and out of the halls of power, welcomed by the likes of FDR, LBJ and JFK.
Once the boss of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, he was an ally and sometime rival of fellow unionists and liberal politicians. Politicians and VIPs, liberals and conservatives, made sure they checked with Dubinsky and his close friend, the AFL-CIO's George Meany, on legislation affecting their members. It was an ethnic coalition—Jews, the ILGWU's Italian local, and Irish Catholics—except that blacks and Latinos were kept out of the mix for decades. Ironically, however, and to Parment's credit, he details the contentious and shameful conflict when ILGWU employees tried to organize their own union but were bitterly opposed by Dubinsky and his colleagues. That alienated the late great American journalist, Murray Kempton, in his New York Post column (when that paper hadn't yet become a knee-jerk rightwing organ) when he warned Dubinsky that it was "always easier to break a union than to organize one." Dubinsky was also rightly criticized by the veteran Socialist Norman Thomas in the conservative New York Herald Tribune, who cautioned the ILGWU that refusing to allow its own people to form a union wouldn't help its efforts to reach millions of unorganized working people.
Dubinsky, though, as Parmet effectively points out, was a man of considerable talents. His was a remarkable if controversial life -- a self-educated immigrant who fought to provide decent living wages and housing for working people. Almost as significantly, he was a Cold War anti-Communist liberal who played a vital role in fending off efforts by American Stalinists to wrest control of various unions. He courageously fought the Communist-dominated Progressive Party in 1948 when it nominated Henry Wallace. He also helped form New York's Liberal Party, which became an opponent of the leftist American Labor Party. The ALP eventually disappeared during the wave of McCarthyite hysteria but the minuscule Liberal Party still exists, though it is nothing more than a supplicant for political patronage.
Abroad, Dubinsky aligned himself with other trade union leaders in battling communist control of unions in France and Italy. Following Meany's rigid support for the Vietnam War (Meany refused to recognize that the war he so passionately supported was consuming the lives of many of his union members' families), Dubinsky also backed the war but unlike his hawkish ILGWU colleagues, he refused to resign from the anti-war Americans for Democratic Action even though Parment believes he hoped to get the ADA to change its mind and support the war, which it never did. Anyway, it was 1967. Americans had already turned against the mass killing.
Before he died at age ninety in 1974, he wrote, "The important thing is that the union goes on." Years after, in 1995, the ILGWU merged with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, renamed itself UNITE and claimed 350,000 members. "We do not live in the past but the past lives with us," Parmet quotes Jay Mazur, the newly elected leader. Maybe so, but it will take a very long time before unions are able to recapture the economic muscle and prestige once held by past leaders like Walter Reuther, John L. Lewis, Sidney Hillman and David Dubinsky. Still, Parmet suggests, Maser's UNITE is also dedicated to the actions and principles of "social unionism," pioneered by Dubinsky and Hillman. In a nation now committed to "anything goes," where everybody is supposedly on their own, caring about American working people may yet be the best way to get more men and women to join unions.

The Office is open for business.
Nine months since a shock loss to the Reggae Boyz here at Kingston's National Stadium, the U.S. national team is back for a return engagement.
The Americans see a grand opportunity to claim three away points against a wounded and desperate Jamaican side. Victory would ease the pressure a bit ahead of the home qualifiers against Panama and Honduras. With two points through four matches, the Boyz can't afford anything less than a triumph.
Just a bit over the top, Jamaican Football Federation President Horace Burrell told the Star: "As a military man going into war, you do not think of death, you think of winning the war and hoisting your flag on top of the mountain. At this point in time I am thinking of hoisting the flag in the middle of The Office on completion of that game."
