The Right Way to Pack for Travel, from the NYT
July 10, 2017 | Leave a Comment
I bit, so you don't have to. The New York Times, which has a paywall for more than 10 views/month, posted this article by Michelle Higgins on June 28th: The Right Way to Pack for Travel. Suggestions include investing in a "hard-sided suitcase no taller than 22 inches, with a structured shell, so you can't squeeze in any extras." ("Many frequent fliers interviewed for this article said they favored the Rimowa Salsa Deluxe, about $500.") Also, "use the '5, 4, 3, 2, 1' rule for a weeklong trip, limiting yourself to no more than five sets of socks and underwear, four tops, three bottoms, two pairs of shoes and one hat."

Dear Travel Writing Friends,
My current labor of love is a new book, which I'm very excited about. Like Lost, Kidnapped, Eaten Alive!, it's a collection of true stories of travel around the world. Because I need time to focus on that project, I won't be updating Travel Writers News for awhile.

I've been using a Zoom Handy Recorder H4n audio recorder and Sony ECM-MS907 microphone to record interviews for the travel podcast Journeys of Discovery with Tom Wilmer.
But when I travel, I like to carry as little gear as possible, so I asked fellow travel writer, Dick Jordan (Tales Told from the Road), who shoots video with his iPhone, about using my iPhone instead of my (heavier, bulkier) Zoom.

She also tells us about her photoworkshops in Italy and Vietnam — which sound like a blast, with lots of opportunities for interacting with locals, as well as ready-made photoshoot set-ups, great food, and Catherine's expert instruction. And we hear about the surprising and deeply moving experiences Catherine has had photographing victims of Agent Orange in Vietnam.

The Art and Heart of Storytelling

"Truly great stories succeed in extracting meaning from the everyday," said Don George at National Geographic's Intelligent Travel. "They are also the record of two corresponding journeys: a journey in the outer world and a journey in the inner world. And the travel writer's story is built upon the interplay between these worlds and journeys." This article is an opportunity to learn about storytelling from a master.

Some time ago, a store called Spiritzzz got in touch with me. It was rather interesting because they believe your shopping experience should be combined with a pampering session. The store offers not only ready-made apparel, jewellery and accessories but also a hair and make-up studio. While you shop from a wide range of dresses, tops, tunics, jumpsuits and the like, you could get a haircut, blow-dry, hair spa, foot spa or face rejuvenation treatment. Now that's something I'm willing to try. Aren't you? Especially since the store is giving away vouchers to 3 of you lucky readers this month. One is for a hand spa, the other for a foot spa and yet another for a facial treatment. It's simple. Write to me (in the comments below) explaining what it is about shopping that makes you want to pamper yourself. The best answers win. 🙂
To add to all the fun, Spiritzzz is hosting a Summer Soleil at the end of the month. The poster has all the details. It promises to be a fun bazaar with clothes, bags, hair accessories, shoes, pampering options and photography opportunities to capture all the excitement. So I guess I'll see you there? 🙂

To say that emerging markets have been all the rage since 2003 — when it became clear the United States and most other well-developed economies were no longer sure things — would be an understatement.
[1]Many of these countries were entering their economic heydays with such velocity that they looked capable of overcoming the global malaise. And the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM[2]) and the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO[3]) have both grown their asset bases to more than $40 billion in the wake of emerging markets mania.
A lot can happen in 10 years, however.
That includes which countries are even classified as "emerging"; many of them are now fully "emerged." The problem is, the fund industry in many cases has been slow to update their EM holdings to reflect the global economy's 10-year transition.
So … are you sure that your emerging markets fund is doing its job?
A word to the wise: China is hardly an emerging market any longer. It rivals the U.S. as the world's dominant single economic superpower, and other countries are just as eager to trade with it as they are with the U.S. And yet, it's the single-most represented country in both the iShares and Vanguard emerging markets ETFs; Chinese stocks make up 18% and 21.5% of their respective portfolios.
Not that there's no opportunity in Chinese stocks. Even though China's economy growth rate has slowed over the past five years, that reduction from has been from a stunning 10% then to a still-amazing 7% now.
But that cat's well out of the bag — everyone knows about China now.
And it's not like China's now-misplaced outsized allocation is the only proverbial square peg in a round emerging market hole.
For instance, Brazil accounts for 14% of VWO and 11% of EEM — and that's also off-base from an emerging markets perspective, as Brazil is now the world's sixth-biggest economy (by GDP), displacing the United Kingdom.
South Korea and Taiwan are also well-represented by most emerging markets funds, and while you could argue both still are emerging market-esque, that's still pushing the envelope.
Those are hardly the only examples of countries that would surprise investors to learn how big and progressively developed they really are. Case in point: Indonesia. Contrary to popular belief, Indonesia is anything but a third-world nation just now picking up on electricity and telephones. Indonesia is the world's fourth-biggest country by population, it's the sixteenth-largest economy, and it's home to the world's fifth-greatest number of Facebook (FB[4]) users.
Point being, if you're holding an emerging markets fund to capitalize on high-growth opportunities that few others recognized, that ship has largely sailed for the most heavily owned nations within most EM funds' portfolios. Anymore, an investment in those ETFs is an investment in a country closely linked to the United States' economy.
It's time for some fresh meat.
Global X has it.
If you've never heard of the Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF (EMFM[5]), don't worry. You're not alone — because it was launched only a few days ago.
However, odds are good that EMFM will build a name (and an asset base) for itself pretty quickly, as it gives investors something they desperately need … even if they don't realize they need it yet.
Markets featured in EMFM include Argentina, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, and Vietnam, reflecting the also-recently launched Solactive Next Emerging & Frontier Index.
Most of the countries that make up the index would be difficult for the average person to locate on a map, and those that aren't "frontier markets"[6] (an even riskier but even more growth-oriented classification) fit the true definition of "emerging market."
And what's that definition?
Perhaps Dr. Vladimir Kvint, President of the International Academy of Emerging Markets, has the clearest and most through definition[7]:
"An emerging market country is a society transitioning from a dictatorship to a free-market-oriented-economy, with increasing economic freedom, gradual integration with the global marketplace and with other members of the global emerging market, an expanding middle class, improving standards of living, social stability and tolerance, as well as an increase in cooperation with multilateral institutions."
That's certainly not China. China is as much of a global commerce hub as any other country. Its middle class is now officially a consumer class, and at its current pace will soon be China's key source of economic growth. Ditto for Brazil, and to a lesser degree, South Korea. They've all pretty much emerged.
Argentina, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and several other smaller nations that are well represented in the Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF, on the other hand, are just now starting to experience the "a-ha" moment Kvint described. Indeed, Global X specifically describes this fund's holdings as investments that go beyond the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and beyond the most developed tier of emerging markets, which means countries like South Korea and Taiwan are also excluded.
As for putting the potential growth of the new emerging markets in perspective, the Global X fact sheet for its new ETF provides some eye-opening stats. The most salient ones are:
Granted, the data nuggets are self-serving for the Global X fund, but they're accurate points nonetheless. There's a lot of "catchup" potential from these markets, and that means outsized growth for the fund's investors for at least several years (not unlike the strong growth we've seen from the arenas that were considered to be emerging markets 10 years ago).
It's time to start rethinking, in a deeper way, exactly why we take on emerging market exposure, and how we go about doing that. The Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF is a step in the right direction.
As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

They kicked an atheist group out of the school's organization fair ("Freshers' Fayre") because the students labelled a pineapple "Muhammad" in order to talk about "blasphemy, religion, and liberty":
"We wanted to celebrate the fact that we live in a country in which free speech is protected, and where it is lawful to call a pineapple by whatever name one chooses," a society spokesperson said.
Towards the afternoon, the group was informed they had to leave the fair by a member of Reading University Student Union (RUSU) staff. The reason given was several complaints had made against the offending pineapple, although RAHS members insist they were not made aware of any such protestations.
The society refused to remove the fruit due to their "commitment to freedom of expression", to which they were told by the RUSU member: "Either the pineapple goes, or you do."
The pineapple was seized. Then it was returned. Then, the atheists renamed the pineapple "Jesus." That's when the group was kicked out:

IMHO if you told kannel use DB storage then DB storage _must_ be there. It's the same as with any DB based applications (DB not available -> application doesn't run). Kannel could send temp errorcode in case of DLR DB failure but not all SMSCs support this and there is a risk that this DLR will neverever arrive again.

Friends of the Library
To strengthen library services
Who are Friends of the Montgomery City-County Public Library?
Friends of the library are people who know that a community with a first rate library is a better place to live.
Friends of the library are important to the City and County of Montgomery. Montgomery needs a strong library system to help educate our children, provide resources to our businesses, and to meet the growing information needs of the community. Friends help this happen.
Why does the Library need Friends?
In progressive communities, the public library is one of the main cultural and informational centers of the community. The ideas and voices of individuals are needed to support and promote one of our community's great assets.
What are the purposes of the Friends?
We have four purposes
-To raise funds for the enhancement of public library service. Tax monies will never go far enough to meet all the needs in our community. There are many important items that are not included in the library's budget as provided by the City and County. Friends of the library help to provide funding for these extra services or programs.
-To raise funds for special programs.
As its main special program of the future, the Friends will sponsor a series of speakers.
-To encourage gifts, memorials, and endowments for the benefit of library services.
The Friends accept donations of books and other materials for sale, as well as financial contributions for the purchase of special materials as gifts and memorials. The Friends of the Montgomery City-County Public Library is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS WORTHY TAX DEDUCTION!
-To assist the library in its public information effort.
Friends support special media campaigns to inform the public about important library related programs.
Membership Information
Membership is $15 for individual and $25 for family, $50 for contributing, $100 for sustaining, and $250 for corporate/sponsor. Dues are tax deductible. Complete the Membership envelope available at all the libraries and mail it with your dues. Indicate on the envelope whether you would like to help with the Juliette Hampton Morgan Memorial Library, a neighborhood branch, the Bookstore, or wherever needed. If none of these are marked, it indicates your willingness to contribute to library programs with your financial support. Our address is: Friends of the Montgomery Public Library, P.O. Box 11481, Montgomery, Alabama 36111.
Attend Friends meetings to get to know other members and find out about the needs of your library.
How are the Friends organized?
The Friends are governed by agreed By-Laws. With two exceptions, there is currently a single Friends group for the entire library system. The Pintlala Branch Library , Pine Level Branch Library and Pike Road Branch Library have their own active Friends groups that are separately governed; membership information may be obtained at those branches.
Bookstore and Book Sales
The Friends Bookstore is located on the first floor of the Juliette Hampton Morgan Memorial Library, and is open whenever the library is open. If there is not an attendant in the bookstore pay for your selections at the circulation desk.
Our largest fund raising activities are Book Sales. Any book donated to the Library that is not placed in the Library's collection or sold through the Bookstore is made available to the public at the semi-annual sale. Donations should be left at the Bookstore. If you would like an acknowledgement of your donation , fill out one of the slips on the counter.

Curtis then asked photographer Andrew Eccles to shoot with her no makeup, no manicure, no professionally done hair, no diamond jewelry or high fashion outfit, in unforgiving light with a full-body straight-on shot.
She says she doesn't have a perfect body.
"I don't have great thighs," she tells More. "I have very big breasts and a soft, fatty little tummy. And I've got back fat. People assume I'm walking around in little spaghetti-strap dresses. It's the insidious Glam Jamie Jamie, the Perfect Jamie, the great figure, blah, blah, blah. And I don't want the unsuspecting 40-year-old women of the world to think that I've got it going on. It's such a fraud. And I'm the one perpetuating it."
Curtis is promoting her fifth children's book, I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem. It hits bookstores this month, and its message is what prompted Curtis to pose in her unflattering undies.
"In the recovery program I'm in for addiction problems, they talk about peeling an onion, exposing more layers," she says.
The myth of the perfect Jamie is something she "actively participated in and, by the way, profited from. Now, I'm sitting here on my high hill, debunking the very foundation that I sit on. Don't think I'm not afraid of it. I'm not financially independent enough that I don't rely on outside income still."
She admits she has gone under the knife to improve her looks. "I've had a little plastic surgery. I've had a little lipo. I've had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it."
So now, she's on a mission, she says in the September issue of More, which hits newsstands next week.
"I want to do my part, as I develop the consciousness for it, to stop perpetuating the myth. I'm going to look the way God intends me to look ... with a little help from Manolo Blahnik."

Yup, getting rid of the need for all these confusing locking modes was one of the objectives in mind for DIO simplification. (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/suparna/DIO-simplify.txt) Once we have an efficient range locking or similar mechanism in place (Chris Mason is working on a patch), then it should be possible to push out all of the i_mutex locking to higher level routines, outside of direct-io.c. Longer term, it would be nice to be able to rethink and further simplify the whole _nolock equiv versions for VFS write methods. Especially the percolation down to sync_page_range_nolock, etc. Regards Suparna > > -- > To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-aio' in > the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux AIO, > see: http://www.kvack.org/aio/ > Don't email: aart@xxxxxxxxx -- Suparna Bhattacharya (suparna@xxxxxxxxxx) Linux Technology Center IBM Software Lab, India

Anyone have experience with successful alternative treatments for temporal lobe partial complex seizures? I have recently been diagnosed at 46 years of age and having had 4 seizures over a 4 year period( one a year). Two neurologists have recommended I start taking medication( Keppra). After reading your experiences on these forums with the meds and the side affects I am not real sure I want to even try Keppra or any thing else. You guys are very brave out there, going through all of these trial and error with the medications. Thanks for sharing your stories! My only concern is will the seizures happen more frequently or grow more severe if I don't start medication or treatment. They seem to have been triggered when I was working out with weights , doing pull ups and the last one after jumping on the trampoline with my kids. The Docs think i may have scar tissue from multiple concussions from my early years playing football and rugby. Is there a successful treatment out there that doesn't involve these meds? Any info will be greatly appreciated.
alternative non pharmaceutical treatment for temporal lobe partial complex seizures
Re: alternative
i read a good book once called "treating epilepsy naturally" about alternative treatments, and med treatments too. very informative and helpful. when i was first diagnosed at 29, i was put on a low dose of keppra. it wasn't so bad, and put my mind at ease a little. although i went through a depression...wasn't sure if it was a side effect or brought on by the recent diagnosis i was very upset and in denial of. also, i was a bit sleepy...probably because i was so depressed..and later found out was also, pregnant...surprise!
anyway, since then, i have tried 2 other meds, and seriously, keppra is one of the more mild, safe ones if you ask me although i am not a professional or a big proponent of pharmaseuticals. but others are horrendous. like topamax...yuck. definately check into that book first. -just my humble suggestion.
Re: alternative
Wow you sound just like me! Send me an email if you like. I just got diagonised with complex partial seizures at 45 years old, same reason, scar tissue from concussions earlier in life. The difference is my long term doctor, whom I trust a lot, said, "You are going on medication right now". She said it was dangerous to let the seizures continue, as the brain gets used to using that new pathway, and thinks its normal, and you have more. Admittedly I am different from you in that I have been having them several times a week, while sleeping (it wakes me up and boy oh boy is it scary). So I am on Tegretol (really carbamazapine, the generic). We started out at 200 mg in the morning and 200 at night, but the side effects were so awful for me (exhaustion and nausea) that she reduced it to 100mg in morning and 100 at night. I am going up from there by 25 mg, trying to control the nightly seizures. For me, it seems like maybe it is a bit worse with the drug, as if the exhaustion is making it more likely that I have a seizure.
Anyway, all that said, I am with you on the natural stuff. I just haven't been given a chance to find a natural way. I have a nutritionist who uses accupressure and she feels she can even work on the scar tissue (I go for the hocus pocus after I try the MD's!) but I have to be on the drug while she is doing that as we can't risk more seizures. waa. anyway, I think we have similarities.
Re: alternative non pharmaceutical treatment
Acupuncture has controlled my TLE more or less effectively in the past. I would recommend it to anyone but success depends a lot on the person treating you: some are better at it than others, in my experience. Currently content on a dosage of Lamictal/lamotrigine.
use mexican topamax temporal lobe partial complex seizures
Topamax is used for treatment of seizures (epilepsy) in adults and
children. canadian topamax is used alone or in combination with other drug to
treat seizures. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the
brain. It is used to reduce the seizure activity. generic topamax drug is also
used to treat migraine headaches and reduce the number of attacks.
Re: use mexican topamax temporal lobe partial complex seizures
My grandfather had suffered a temporal lobe partial seizure and he was treated with warticon. In his case there were no unwanted side effects and the treatment continues successfully today. He did not have any repeats ever since he's on this treatment. It might work well in your case too, good luck!

Wooster firefighters knew the second they turned left onto Liberty Street the fire they were responding to had turned into something much worse than the mattress fire it had been called in as.
As one firefighter radioed to another, "That's more than a mattress fire," as brown smoke billowed through the DiGiacomo Building's third-floor windows. As firefighters arrived, the two dozen or so people who lived in 10 apartment units in the building gathered across the street.
"(It started) in my daughter's bedroom," sobbed Rae Parks, her face stained with tears and soot as she held her singed dog, Gizmo, in a blue blanket. "I was sleeping and I heard someone yell fire.
"I tried to put it out. It was too smoky," she said. "I came down the stairs in just a blanket. Some people gave me clothes. A woman gave me some shoes because I came down barefoot."
Parks, along with resident Roger Rhein, were taken to Wooster Community Hospital where they were treated for smoke inhalation and released.
Jeremy Heller, one of the building's co-owners, was working on the second floor when the fire broke out.
"We were just down on the second floor when one of the renters came running down with just about no clothes on, yelling 'fire!'" Heller said. "Some people were still in bed. We ran up there and it was smoking really bad, but we wanted to get everyone out."
At that point, the roof began falling in, Heller said.
"We tried to go back in, but there was too much smoke," he said. "I'm just glad we got everyone out."
Heller, owner of Combustion Cycles, and his partner, Ben Stahl, owner of Stahl Construction, purchased the DiGiacomo Building in November with intentions to renovate the building. Those intentions were evident as newly installed windows, many with the factory sticker still on them, endured the flames.

Are You Prepared To Recruit The 'Next' Generation?
Are You Prepared To Recruit The 'Next' Generation?
June 6, 2011
Kathy Bornheimer
K. B. & Associates
Are You Prepared To Recruit The "Next" Generation?
- Do you remember when the only body part that was pierced was women's ears?
- How do you develop, maintain or use a "blog" and can you tweet with the best of them?
- Did you participate in Vietnam War protests, or learn about them on the History Channel?
- A candidate says, "Working here would be really fly"; is that good or bad?
- Did you buy your first
car for
- What is your tolerance for tats and bling; including grills? In other words, how much ink will you tolerate?
- Where will you find Nine Inch Nails?
- Finish this statement: System of the...
- Would you allow your male employees to wear "longs" on casual Fridays?
- You saw an employee's email describing a project ending in "just KMN!. What's their intent?
How you answer these questions determines your readiness to be able to recruit the "Next" Generation. This concept is ever changing since the "Next Generation" is fluid. Previous focus was generation X, then Y with the Millenials and now the Linksters. The emerging workforce was born as recently as 1999, currently entering high school and obtaining summer jobs. The recent college graduate (Associate degree or 4 year) was born as recently as 1992.
Your experience (
including your own children) or exposure to this group will be a factor in your recruiting and hiring of the population. Educational and life experiences from middle to high school and then college influence behaviors, attitudes and work styles of each generation.
Where does it begin?
Start becoming active in the area schools (middle to high school). Find out about the student population, the school's focus and target some of those "diamonds in the rough". These are the ones that you can mentor and assist through graduation. All it takes is a handful to go through the job shadowing, part time employment and internship (at the college level) experience to full employment for you to develop a good system. You will be assisting your local schools, community and be able to "try before you buy" a future worker. Volunteer at High Schools that have Career Academies as these schools have a proven track record. Talk with teachers and principals to see how they could use your expertise and assistance.
Attend High School events and sit in the audience with the students. Watch and listen as they interact with each other. This could be a real eye opener!
Learn about and benefit from this future workforce before your baby boomers retire. Many Gen X and Gen Y employees have been getting restless, so are apt to make a move on their time line; not yours.
Keeping the pipeline full of potential sources for recruitment and affect your business's financial success.

FAQsSOUK IS CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE
What is coworking? A hot desk?
The hot desk concept evolved in response to the changing needs of today's flex-time economy and post-geographic professional workforce. A hot desk describes the temporary physical occupation of a workstation, used in places where a variety of users keep varying schedules.
Who is souk for? What are some reasons for becoming a member?
A souk membership remedies a variety of pains. We've heard a mix of the following: It's lonely at home. It's convenient because I drop my kids at school downtown and can go straight into "work". I'm not productive at home with my kids and/or partner. I need people to bounce ideas off of. And more. We're currently gathering some testimonials so you can hear from members themselves. In the meantime, see our home page for featured monthly members.
What are the membership options?
Contact us about membership and signing up. souk strongly encourages you to visit too. Space matters to us; we believe it matters to you.
Do I have to be a member to use the meeting rooms?
What is space at souk like?
The souk facility is 5000 square feet exuding a loft-like feel with its exposed brick and HVAC systems, restored original wooden beams, high ceilings and ample natural light. Herman Miller chairs and Design Within Reach pieces round out the open plan appeal. There are NO CUBICLES.
There are two, closed conference rooms available, all with natural light, both holding about 10 people. Additionally, upon request, there is a large event space that is available for up to 150. It's used for everything from larger meeting groups to networking events and workshops.
The remainder of the space is open plan and accommodates up to 24 hot desks, many of which can be adjusted for those preferring to stand. All hot desks have ergonomic Celle chairs, Herman Miller's "green" line of office seating.
Finally, there are areas where people can "touch down" to meet informally. We subscribe to newspapers and magazines for members to share.
What about storage?
Does souk provide computers and phones?
What if I need to take a private call?
Is the facility secure?
What about services?

The man—a Democrat—who founded the Carlyle Group explains why he gives it away.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article stated that a Carlyle "top executive" invested $100,000 in Chooch.
William Butler Yeats once called Carlyle "the chief inspirer of self-educated men."
No doubt Carlyle enjoys a cozy relationship with the corridors of power.
What does it mean that the new CEO of GM is Daniel F. Akerson, a managing director at the Carlyle Group?
Mr. Carlyle had got "Master Arthur" on his shoulder when Joyce entered.
In the light of these definitions, I close with the conception of Carlyle.
Mr. Carlyle had regained his calmness, outwardly, at any rate.
The spectre of world-destruction, as Whitman says of Carlyle, was always before them.
Carlyle had now to arrange the mode of life which should enable him to fulfil his aspiration.

Work disputes up as pay cuts and freezes take toll
PAY cuts and wage freezes led to a sharp increase in the number of disputes between employee groups and employers last year, according to new figures released this week.
PAY cuts and wage freezes led to a sharp increase in the number of disputes between employee groups and employers last year, according to new figures released this week.
The annual report of the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service showed that there was a 50% increase in the number of requests for advice or conciliation on collective disputes and trade union recognition.
In 2011, the service had 97 inquiries and that rose to 150 last year.
JACS director David Witherington said that as a result of the continuing economic uncertainty, the majority of organisations had awarded pay rises at a level below inflation.Subscribe to our Newsletter

James Wiley
Good news then, soon JACS will have a perfectly administered system of employment, of course there will be no actual employees, still if the JFSC can do it to trust companies, then why should JACS not do the same.
The police too could have a perfectly law abiding population if they simply killed everyone. I can't think why they have thought of this and put it into practise.
No one can say Jersey is not dedicated to the cause of bureaucratic efficiency, even to the point of insanity.
Wilson Riou
James - JACS is a conciliation service offering advice to employers and employees alike. The JFSC is a regulator - their respective functions are not in any way comparable. Your comment above makes no sense.
James Wiley
Ah Wilson, the road to hell is paved with good intentions - unfortunately if you leave the Civil Service to implement the fine ideals our States Members vote into law then they always find a way to corrupt those ideals to serve their own ends.
I wrote to the director and said, I would like people to work for me but I don't want to employ them how can I do it and he didn't even bother to reply so no help there whatsoever
Wilson Riou
I have no idea what you are talking about...
I'm beginning to think that you and Gino Risolli are one and the same.
Non States Employee
Someone should have read this out at the Fort yesterday - States workers are at least getting a pay rise!
gino risoli
l hope the public sector reads this. Stop the leaking bucket of tax payers money so that headlines like this disappear.
Parktown Prawn
"In 2011, the service had 97 inquiries and that rose to 150 last year."
Out of approximately 50,000 workers in Jersey this only relates to 0.3% last year........am I the only one who thinks this is a tiny, insignificant number????
IMO this is a non-story.......the JEP should concentrate on the REAL stories such as REAL unemployment levels and start challenging inept government decision making I think.

Guy Lombardo is best known for almost a half-century of New Year's Eve broadcasts, first on radio, and then on television. Lombardo's orchestra played at the "Roosevelt Grill" in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City from 1929 to 1959, and their New Year's Eve performances (which continued with Lombardo until 1976 at the Waldorf Astoria). Broadcasts (and later telecasts) of their performances were a major part of New Year's celebrations across North America; millions of people watched the show with friends at house parties.
The band's first New Year's Eve radio broadcast was in 1928; within a few years, they would be heard on the CBS Radio Network before 12 Midnight Eastern time, then on the NBC Radio Network after 12 Midnight EST.
On December 31, 1956, the Lombardo band did their first New Year's TV special on CBS; the program (and Lombardo's 20 subsequent New Year's Eve TV shows) would include a live segment from Times Square (long the focal point of America's New Year's Eve celebrations) showcasing the arrival of the New Year. During the early years, pioneer broadcast journalist Robert Trout reported from Times Square; in later years, another longtime newsman, Ben Grauer, reported from Times Square.
While CBS carried most of the Lombardo New Year's specials, there were a few years in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the special was syndicated live to individual TV stations instead of being broadcast on a network.
By the middle 1970's, the Lombardo TV show was facing competition, especially for younger viewers, from Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, but Lombardo remained popular among viewers, especially older ones.
Even after Lombardo's death, the band's New Year's specials continued for two more years on CBS. The Royal Canadians were noted for playing the traditional song Auld Lang Syne as part of the celebrations. Their recording of the song still plays as the first song of the new year in Times Square.
Comment: Why the heck do I bother? Because maybe I'm feeling a little more nostalgic than usual this year. And maybe because I find as the years pass I end up missing more & more people I loved. One of these days I'll turn around & not be there myself...It happens to us all.
But what's all this moroseness...? Time to forget yer troubles & cares & get out there in the street & boogie on down...! Then get off the street & into someplace nice & warm with someone nice & soft...Pretty old school of me, I know...

Pioneer Press
— "In the 'Zone'" by Robert Loerzel
Old-fashioned radio drama recorded in Schaumburg
Carl Amari's too young to remember the days when families sat around their radios listening to comedies, scary stories and cowboy adventures.
But the 39-year-old South Barrington resident has been a fan of old-time radio shows since he was a boy. Now, he's living out his boyhood dream by directing new radio dramas, based on the scripts of the old "Twilight Zone" television series.
Well-known actors including Jane Seymour, Lou Diamond Phillips, Tim Kazurinsky, Jason Alexander, Adam West, Ed Begley, Jr., Daniel J. Travanti and John Ratzenberger are visiting Amari's studio in a Schaumburg industrial park to record new versions of the classic sci-fi stories of Rod Serling.
"This is the first time I'm creating (a radio drama) from scratch," said Amari, who built his reputation by broadcasting and selling recordings of old radio shows.
"The Twilight Zone," produced by Amari's company Falcon Picture Group, under license from CBS, began airing on radio stations around the country last fall.
More than 100 stations are now carrying the hour-long show, but for the time being, Chicago listeners are out of luck.
Amari said he's negotiating with three Chicago radio stations, and he hopes one of them will begin broadcasting "The Twilight Zone" soon.
Amari acknowledges that it's a bit odd that he became such a fan of the antiquated genre of radio drama when he was growing up in Schiller Park in the 1970s.
"I was always a weird kid," he said. "I never did what other kids did."
He was hooked the first time he heard an old radio drama starring Cary Grant. "It was completely in your mind," he said. "You can close your eyes and be entranced. You flex this imagination muscle."
Amari began collecting tapes of old radio shows. In 1981, when he was a student at Triton College in River Grove, Amari played his tapes on the college's radio station.
That led to a job producing a similar show for the in-flight audio service on Eastern Airlines.
Amari began acquiring the rights to the old shows, befriending celebrities such as George Burns and Milton Berle.
Burns "really took a liking to me," Amari said. "He loved talking to me about the old days."
He started his own company, Radio Spirits, and began a syndicated show of old radio programs, which eventually reached some 300 stations.
Looking for new challenges, Amari sold his company in 1998 and produced a movie, "Madison," a father-and-son story about hydroplane boat racers that played at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001. The movie is scheduled to open in theaters in August.
Amari continued to run Radio Spirits for a time, but he left the company altogether last fall to launch Falcon Picture Group.
So far, Falcon has recorded about 60 episodes of "The Twilight Zone."
Amari plans to do radio versions of almost all of the 159 episodes from the original series, which aired on CBS from 1959 to 1965.
The 23-minute television scripts are expanded to fill 43 minutes of radio.
"We follow it as closely as we can," Amari said.
The radio show, which features Stacy Keach reading Rod Serling's narration, will later adapt stories from the 1980s revival of "The Twilight Zone." Eventually, the radio show will create all-new stories.
Falcon also sells DVDs of old movies and television shows, ranging from such hits as "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" to more obscure titles like the sitcom "Love That Bob" and Borris Karloff's "Mr. Wong, Detective" movie series.
But "Twilight Zone" is what Amari is most excited about these days.
"It's the best time I've ever had," he said. "It's a blast."
Compact discs of "The Twilight Zone" radio drama can be ordered via www.twilightzoneradio.com or at 1-866-989-9863. For details on Falcon Picture Group's DVDs of classic movies and TV shows, visit www.falconpicturegroup.com
Acting into a microphone
There are no movie cameras at Falcon Picture Group's studios in Schaumburg, so the actors don't bother putting on costumes.
On a recent Saturday morning, the character actor Mike Starr played a prisoner stuck on an asteroid. Rather than donning a space helmet, he wore a backward Chicago Blackhawks cap.
Starr had no reason to worry about how he looked, because the audience for his performance wasn't going to see him. This show was strictly audio.
Carl Amari had gathered a cast and crew to record "The Lonely," an episode of "The Twilight Zone" radio show.
Starr and other actors stood around two giant microphones, scripts in hand, as Amari sat offering directions.
The walls are covered with white plastic panels designed to absorb sound and create the perfect acoustic environment.
Producer Roger Wolski watched from the next room, looking through a wide window as he controlled the computer that was digitally recording the performances. The computer monitor showed the recording levels rising and falling as the actors spoke.
When Starr angrily yelled one of his lines — "What do you know about it?" — the levels shot up into the red.
"Whoa, whoa!" Wolski said. "On that line get off the mike a little."
Starr backed away from the microphone and repeated his line, making it sound more like a shout in the distance.
Later on, Wolski would cut and paste snippets of dialogue, adding music and sound effects — most of which come from CDs rather then old-fashioned sound-effect devices.
The actors don't need to worry as much about redoing the entire scene as they would during a film shoot. If they don't like the way a line sounds, they just repeat it, then go on with the scene.
Although it's a high-tech recording process, the actors constantly face a rather low-tech task: flipping the loose-leaf pages of their scripts without making too much noise.
Whenever they get to the bottom of the page, the actors pause and Amari calls out, "Page, everyone!" He also occasionally adds comments for the actors: "This is excellent." or "You rock!"
Starr is a tall, hulking actor, known for playing mob tough guys and dopey comic characters. He has been in almost 90 movies, including "Dumb and Dumber" and "Goodfellas," as well as the TV series "Ed."
At a couple of points, Starr stumbled over words that didn't sound natural in his New York accent.
"How do you say that — simulacrum?" he asked, peering at the script through reading glasses. "Fortunately. in the script, it says he's a New Yorker."
Midway through the taping session, Starr was joined by actress Taylor Miller, a former star of the soap opera "All My Children."
Her "Twilight Zone" role was a female robot, who is sent to keep Starr's prisoner company as he serves time on his lonely space rock.
Although there was no camera rolling to capture Miller's facial expressions or gestures, she was animated as she read her lines, showing emotion — or robot-like simulations of emotion.
Miller said later that she pictures the scene as she is acting it out.
"In my own mind, I have the places and the situations," she said.
Starr said he had to adjust his acting style for the medium of radio.
"You use your senses differently," he said. "You have to give more." "Radio is so intimate," Amari said. "The littlest change in your voice will get picked up by the listener."

Another day, another dopey, misleading, GOP-friendly Politico article
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Today's headline:
President Obama distances himself from Nancy Pelosi
Boy, that sounds bad for Democrats, right? If it were true, sure. But the article never backs up the claim [emphasis added]:
Ahead of his own town hall Tuesday, President Barack Obama sought to distance himself from charges by Democratic congressional leaders that boisterous health care dissent is "un-American," with his spokesman saying that the protests are a part of American life.
Yet Obama could be in for similar disruptions as he takes the health care road-show to Portsmouth, N.H., where both sides are gearing up for a vigorous session. But his spokesman pushed back against the comments by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer by saying that Obama is ready for whatever comes Tuesday.
But is that really what happened? In their USA Today opinion column, Pelosi and Hoyer wrote that, "Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades."
And guess what? The White House agreed:
"I think there's actually a pretty long tradition of people shouting at politicians in America. The President thinks that if people want to come and have a spirited debate about health care, a real vigorous conversation about it, that's a part of the American tradition and he encourages that," Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said.
"Now, if you just want to come to a town hall so that you can disrupt and so that you can scream over another person, he doesn't think that that's productive. And as a country, we've been able to make progress when people actually talk out what our problems are, not try to shout each other down," Burton said.
I'm pretty sure any fifth grader could figure out what's going on here. But not, apparently, editors at Politico. Obama's spokesman clearly, and with hesitation, condemned forming mini-mobs in order to purposefully disrupt town hall forms. Just like Pelosi condemned it.
So how is that "pushing back" against Pelosi?
The fact that the White House spoke up in favor of having a "spirited debate about health care" doesn't cut it because, of course, Pelosi has never complained about a "spirited debate." (She never claimed that was "un-American.") She denounced mini-mobs and so did the White House.

Weak Cripple Walls
The Problem
- Wooden floors and stud walls are sometimes built on top of an exterior foundation to support a house and create a crawl space.
- These are called cripple walls and they carry the weight of the house.
- During an earthquake, these walls can collapse if they are not braced to resist horizontal movement.
- If the cripple wall fails, the house may shift or fall.
How to Identify
- Go under the house through the crawl space, to see if there are any cripple walls.
- If there are cripple walls, check to see if they are braced.
- There should be plywood panels adequately nailed to the studs OR there should be diagonal wood sheathing. (See Diagonal Sheathing drawing at right)
- If you have neither of these, the cripple walls are probably insufficiently braced or unbraced.
- Horizontal or vertical wood siding is not strong enough to brace cripple walls.
The Solution
- Plywood, or other wood products allowed by code, should be nailed to the studs.
- The following are important:
- Type of wood product used
- Plywood thickness
- Nail size and spacing
- Do not cover vents.
- Consult your local Building Department for permit requirements before starting work.
How-to Resources
- Detailed information for do-it-yourselfers or engineers can be found in the International Existing Building Code, published by the International Code Council

The news that the state Legislature could partially reimburse school districts with new-found surplus money is being received with reserve by the Princeton School Board.
Princeton Superintendent Rick Lahn briefly talked about it at the March 13 school board meeting.
When the state was having difficulty last summer dealing with a projected big deficit, part of its strategy was to delay payment of funds to school districts across the state. It amounted to borrowing $2,700 per student statewide, according to Lahn, noting that a bill in the Legislature would authorize releasing $430 million to repay $300 of each $2,700 held back per student. So if the bill became law the state would still owe each district $2,400 per student, Lahn told the board. This partial reimbursement of $300 per student for Princeton would total $1.1 million, Lahn noted.
"I can't guarantee it," Lahn added about the partial reimbursement even getting approved. Legislators have been discussing the idea of shifting $430 million from the state's emergency fund and cash accounts. About the same time the legislators have been talking about a combined $1.2 billion surplus over the last few months as lending more energy to making the partial reimbursement.
Meanwhile, Princeton and other school districts "have to carry the debt" while not getting the funds owed, Lahn said.

The 32-year-old defender played the full 90 minutes as an overage player in the youngsters' victory over Blackburn on Monday and he is targeting further run-outs at that level as he tries to get himself up to full fitness.
Last season was almost completely ruined by a calf injury for Hibbert - he made just six appearances - and this season hasn't started much better for the player who is struggling to get himself up to speed.
"It was my first 90 minutes for a while and I needed it. It was a good game to play in," Hibbert told the Everton website.
"Possibly [I need to play more Under-21 games]. I need a lot more hard training sessions as well to get my breathing and fitness up there.
"It's up to the manager if he wants me to play in any more reserve games. It's good to get out there and play."
