Notable Books of the Year 1993
Published: December 5, 1993
(Page 15 of 24)
A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT. By Sebastien Japrisot. (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $23.) In this evocative, outlandishly realistic French novel, a young woman pieces together how her fiance became a casualty of World War I.
VINDICATION. by Frances Sherwood. (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $22.) An urgent, enthusiastic novel that is based, rather loosely and speculatively, on the life of Mary Wollstonecraft, the author of "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman."
THE VIRGIN SUICIDES. By Jeffrey Eugenides. (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $18.) A disarming novel with unlikely premises: five suburban sisters take turns at suicide, and a gang of curious boys grow into their 30's trying to figure out why.
WHAT REMAINS AND OTHER STORIES. By Christa Wolf. (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $25.) These eight fiction pieces by the former East Germany's most discussed author contain insights that are sometimes blocked by a puritan, didactic tone.
WHILE ENGLAND SLEEPS. By David Leavitt. (Viking, $22.) England and Spain in the 1930's are the settings for a novel that indicts exploitation by sex, by class and by using other people's wars to work out personal frustrations.
WHISTLING AND OTHER STORIES. By Myra Goldberg. (Zoland Books, $19.95.) A generous and occasionally satirical voice confronts a New York City that has lost much of its appeal.
THE WINE-DARK SEA. By Patrick O'Brian. (Norton, $22.) The 16th irresistible volume in the continuing adventures of the bluff, violin-playing seaman Jack Aubrey and his great friend, the philosophical surgeon Stephen Maturin.
WOMAN OF THE INNER SEA. By Thomas Keneally. (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, $21.) A picaresque, often hilarious novel about a wealthy woman's search for love following a family tragedy; it ponders how individuals achieve spiritual wholeness.
WORKING MEN: Stories. By Michael Dorris. (Holt, $19.95.) Insightful and generous about human foibles, these stories tap into an essential American oddity -- that we are what we do.
A WORLD FOR JULIUS. By Alfredo Bryce Echenique. (University of Texas, cloth, $45; paper, $19.95.) This masterpiece of Latin American fiction, finally in English 23 years after its publication in Spanish, concerns the amoral, insulated superrich in Lima, Peru, of the 1940's and 50's.
THE WRESTLER'S CRUEL STUDY. By Stephen Dobyns. (Norton, $22.95.) Probability has no place when wrestling and metaphysics meet in this entertaining post-modern novel, governed by the presence of a wrestler's manager who talks and thinks like Friedrich Nietzsche.
WRITTEN ON THE BODY. By Jeanette Winterson. (Knopf, $20.) This ambitious work is both a love story and a meditation on the body as our literal embodiment, the part of us that really loves. History THE AGE OF FEDERALISM. By Stanley Elkins and Eric McKitrick. (Oxford University, $39.95.) This magnificent, dense history of the tumultuous years of the new republic, culminating in the election of 1800, documents how the disagreements that emerged during the writing of the Constitution elicited a new form of partisan politics.
THE AMERICAN QUILT: A History of Cloth and Comfort 1750-1950. By Roderick Kiracofe with Mary Elizabeth Johnson. (Clarkson Potter, $60.) Weaving together the evolution of quilt making with the history of America, this fascinating and profusely illustrated book shows that quilts are conscious works of art, not relics of frugality and need.
AMERICAN SLAVERY, 1619-1877. By Peter Kolchin. Consulting editor, Eric Foner. (Hill & Wang, $25.) A solid introduction to the perplexing institution that mocked the nation's aspirations to universal equality.
ASIA IN THE MAKING OF EUROPE. Volume 3: A Century of Advance. By Donald F. Lach and Edwin J. Van Kley. (University of Chicago, four-book cloth set, $300.) The third volume of this immensely learned survey of European interchanges with Asia takes us up to 1700.
CASE CLOSED: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK. By Gerald Posner. (Random House, $25.) On the 30th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, a lucid, durable account laying out the overwhelming evidence that Oswald murdered the President all by himself.
CAVALIERS & ROUNDHEADS: The English Civil War, 1642-1649. By Christopher Hibbert. (Robert Stewart/Scribners, $27.50.) Wonderful narrative, well-chosen anecdotes, exciting descriptions of battles and a gloomy conclusion: thousands of men died in vain.
CHANCELLORSVILLE 1863: The Souls of the Brave. By Ernest B. Furgurson. (Knopf, $25.) An account of Lee's victory in the only great Civil War battle in which the day was carried by mobility and maneuver instead of the attrition of men by metal.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. By Lawrence M. Friedman. (Basic Books, $30.) A law professor's impressive panoramic history of the criminal justice system, which, he argues, hasn't controlled crime since Plymouth Rock and will not control it now.
"DADDY'S GONE TO WAR": The Second World War in the Lives of America's Children. By William M. Tuttle Jr. (Oxford University, $30.) A historian finds that some "home front children" still feel indoctrinated in fright and hate, while others believe the war enhanced their understanding of this country and its culture.

Disable alert for Robert Lewandowski
Premier League champions Manchester United's hopes of signing Robert Lewandowski came to a standstill after Borussia Dortmund insisted that their star striker will not be sold this summer.
The Polish hitman has become one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, with United tracking him for over 12 months, the Daily Star reports.
Despite former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson 18 million-pound bid for Lewandowski, whose valuation has rocketed to over 30 million pounds, rejected last summer, however, the report added that new United boss David Moyes still keen to sign him.
However, Dortmund general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke said that Lewandowski is going nowhere, adding that they need the security of having the striker around to be able to plan for the new season. (ANI)

VANCOUVER - A British Columbia man accused of plotting to bomb the provincial legislature on Canada Day told an undercover RCMP officer that he didn't wish to die a martyr because he wanted to continue his mission, his trial has heard.
John Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody were charged in July 2013 after an RCMP investigation, in which they were captured on video discussing their plans with an officer posing as an Arab businessman.
Nuttall told the officer numerous times that he wanted to embark on jihad to avenge what he believed was the Canadian military's mistreatment of Muslims abroad. Nuttall and Korody were recent converts to Islam, the trial has heard.
In a video played for the jury Wednesday, Nuttall tells the officer that he isn't interested in a suicide mission and wants to ensure he and Korody return alive. The video was recorded June 28, 2013.
"I'm not going to blow myself to kill a few taxpayers," says Nuttall, who is sitting in the passenger seat of the officer's truck, with Korody in the back.
"Sure, it will send a message, but I can send other messages."
Nuttall expresses concern that the planned attack will end with him and Korody either being captured or killed.
When they drop off the bombs at the legislature, whether that happens in the middle of the night or during the day, Nuttall says they risk being captured on security cameras. He worries that would reveal their identities to police and ultimately end with them being killed.
Hiding the bombs beforehand also increases the possibility that someone will find them and remove them, he says.
Another possibility, says Nuttall, would be to turn the plan into a suicide mission — a notion he quickly dismisses.
"The way to do this properly is (martyrdom), but that's not going to work," he says.
"I don't want to kill myself just to kill some taxpayers."
He suggests choosing a "softer target" than the B.C. legislature that would allow them to more easily avoid being killed. A day earlier, Nuttall suggested changing to another date instead of Canada Day because increased holiday security at the legislature and the crowds would make it difficult to escape.
Nuttall also made it clear he wants to be armed when they carry out their plan.
In another video, recorded earlier in the morning when Nuttall and Korody were alone in a motel room south of Vancouver, Nuttall becomes agitated when the subject of weapons comes up.
He curses several times and raises his voice as he insists he and Korody must be armed on Canada Day. He says he isn't doing anything without a gun.
"I will not — no," he says.
"He (the officer) can give it to me and say, 'Don't fire it until you see me fire it first or unless fired upon,' I'll accept those rules."
In previous videos, Nuttall has repeatedly asked the officer to secure automatic weapons, such as an AK-47, an Uzi or a sniper rifle. Nuttall has suggested his extensive experience playing paintball would help him use a gun, though he said Korody might need to be trained.
The officer has been non-committal on the subject, saying he'll look into it but not promising to acquire guns for the couple.
The Crown has told jurors they will see evidence that shows Nuttall and Korody place pressure-cooker bombs on the lawn of the legislature early in the morning on Canada Day. The bombs were timed to explode about 15 minutes apart starting at 10 a.m., the Crown has said, but the RCMP ensured the bombs were inert.
Nuttall has explained in the videos that he wants to launch an attack because of the Canadian military's involvement in Muslim countries.
Nuttall and Korody each face four charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to place explosives on behalf of a terrorist group.
They have both pleaded not guilty.
VANCOUVER - A British Columbia man was anxious about carrying out his alleged plan to attack the provincial legislature on Canada Day without guns and constantly worried about leaving even the smallest trace of DNA on his homemade pressure-cooker bombs, a terrorism trial has heard.
John Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody were charged in July 2013 after an RCMP investigation that captured dozens of hours of video recordings.
The videos have followed the couple as they developed their plan and shared the details with an undercover officer, who they believed was an Arab businessman.
In the latest video played for the jury, recorded on June 28, 2013, Nuttall and Korody are alone in a motel room south of Vancouver, where they are building bombs using plans they found on the Internet.
Nuttall curses several times and raises his voice as he insists he and Korody must be armed on Canada Day. He says he isn't doing anything without a gun.
Nuttall is also depicted in the videos as someone who is extremely worried about leaving anything that could contain DNA on the pressure-cooker bombs, tools, or in the hotel room.
He is seen cleaning the pressure cookers and wearing gloves whenever he handles them. Earlier, he has told Korody they must leave the hotel room "Jason Bourne-clean," referring to the spy movies.
In the latest video, he warns Korody that just by touching a nail — which he plans to include in the bombs as shrapnel — she may leave evidence that could be traced back to them. He scolds her for picking one up.
"If you hadn't have remembered which (nail you picked up), I would have had to go buy all new nails and I would have had to start all over again," he says.
They have both pleaded not guilty.

Republican underdog Joe Lhota Wednesday said he needs a "grand slam" to snatch the mayoralty away from rival Bill de Blasio, but he believes "it can be done."
Appearing on PIX 11-TV and Fox 5's "Good Day New York," Lhota said, "The majority of New Yorkers line up with me on the issues."
Two weeks before the Nov. 5 election, Lhota said he can overcome the more than 40 percent deficit he has in the polls, as he continues to explain his positions to the public.
"We can hit that grand slam and win this race," he said.
Hosts on both shows noted that de Blasio's wife and two children have been prominently featured during the campaign and asked Lhota why his family has not been more visible.
Democrat de Blasio is "using his family because he has no policies," Lhota told anchors Greg Kelly and Rosanna Scotto on Fox. "He has a wonderful family, and he uses that to get across that he's a nice guy. Listen, being a nice guy doesn't make you anywhere close what you need to be as mayor."
Lhota said his wife, Tamra, has consistently been working as his "partner" behind the scenes, and his daughter, Kathryn, 22, has been supportive.
"My family is very reserved in what we do. It's just who we are," Lhota explained. "The reality is, don't fall into the trap, wonderful family, great mayor. Ed Koch: no family, great mayor."
De Blasio's wife, son and daughter are featured in the most recent edition of People magazine in a story titled, "Bill de Blasio's Modern Family." The piece recounts how de Blasio met his wife, Chirlane McCray, 58, and how Chiara, 18, and Dante, 16, have been an important part of his campaign.
"It felt natural to have them involved," de Blasio said, in a caption of one of several photos of his family at their Brooklyn home. Campaigning together, McCray told the magazine, "has brought us closer."
During an immigration press conference on the steps of City Hall Wednesday, de Blasio said he's "very proud" of his family's involvement in his campaign and rejected the notion that he's bankrupt of ideas, waving his platform book, that is "filled with bold, progressive ideas."
"I am first and foremost a husband and a father ? and I ain't changing a thing," he added.

aloha :)
i've installed the heimdal implementation of kerberos 5 on suse, created accounts and i'm able to do client/server type of communication and issuing tickets.
10.0.0.2 (server; a kdc) - 10.0.0.3 (client)
i'm doing successfully kinit and klist. the next thing I want to do is to set up either telnet, ftp, rsh or some other form of remote communication?
how I do that?
I've followed:
and I've created a telnet kerberized config file, which is supposed to load usr/lib/heimdal/sbin/telnetd. something is wrong, xinetd is not doign all that well, yast2 shows me no such service, and inetd is running when i type ps -ax.
i'm abit confused, i can see clearly that it works the ticket issuing, but i cant set a service to work? Anyone knows how to do that?
i have configure vsftp server but when I try to connect i get message that the ftp server doesnt support GSSAPI, which is basically the kerberos authentication...i guess some sort of proper linking (read configuring) is needed? but what kind of? i'm googling for some hours and nothing... :)
also read the official kerberos admin/user guide...couldnt get myself to the solution...
please advise

About: BACKGROUND:Over the last decade several prediction methods have been developed for determining the structural and functional properties of individual protein residues using sequence and sequence-derived information. Most of these methods are based on support vector machines as they provide accurate and generalizable prediction models. RESULTS:We present a general purpose protein residue annotation toolkit (svmPRAT) to allow biologists to formulate residue-wise prediction problems. svmPRAT formulates the annotation problem as a classification or regression problem using support vector machines. One of the key features of svmPRAT is its ease of use in incorporating any user-provided information in the form of feature matrices. For every residue svmPRAT captures local information around the reside to create fixed length feature vectors. svmPRAT implements accurate and fast kernel functions, and also introduces a flexible window-based encoding scheme that accurately captures signals and pattern for training eective predictive models. CONCLUSIONS:In this work we evaluate svmPRAT on several classification and regression problems including disorder prediction, residue-wise contact order estimation, DNA-binding site prediction, and local structure alphabet prediction. svmPRAT has also been used for the development of state-of-the-art transmembrane helix prediction method called TOPTMH, and secondary structure prediction method called YASSPP.

Conversation and Gender
Conversation and Gender
Author: Susan A. Speer , Elizabeth Stokoe
Publisher: Cambridge
Publication date: 2011
Number of pages: 360
Format / Quality: PDF
Size: 1.60MB
Conversation analysts have begun to challenge long-cherished assumptions about the relationship between gender and language, asking new questions about the interactional study of gender and providing fresh insights into the ways it may be studied empirically. Drawing on a lively set of audio- and video-recorded materials of real-life interactions, including domestic telephone calls, children's play, mediation sessions, police-suspect interviews, psychiatric assessments and calls to telephone helplines, this volume is the first to showcase the latest thinking and cutting-edge research of an international group of scholars working on topics at the intersection of gender and conversation analysis. Theoretically, it pushes forward the boundaries of our understanding of the relationship between conversation and gender, charting new and exciting territory. Methodologically, it offers readers a clear, practical understanding of how to analyse gender using conversation analysis, by presenting detailed demonstrations of this method in use.

Increase Housing Supply To Increase Affordability
Tuesday's vote on San Francisco's affordable-housing ballot initiatives will do little to make housing more affordable. San Franciscans didn't vote poorly. There just were no ballot initiatives aimed at cutting back the restrictions that have made the city, and much of the Bay Area, unaffordable for many Americans.

they gave it the college try
I'm not sure if this following comment is made out of fascination, frustration or ego...perhaps a bit of it all ... but that volume zone was created on the 15th, one minute bar of the day. So when I see DVAH or single prints come in there and all your projections end up there I'm scrating my head saying...wait guys.....it's been there all along. On the other side of the coin is complete respect for you folks and your methods.........so I leave it at that. I think I'm leaning towards the EGO explaination for myself........it's amazing how it all comes together one way or the other....I think I need a johnny walker redd and water in a tall glass....that might shut me up,

Sorry for the delayed reply Bruce, I was away for lunch.
1.Open a new chart. Hit the maximize button and expand it out so you can see everything since the RTH Open.
2.Draw 2 horizontal lines: Red line at 895, Green line 890
At the time of my original posting buyers were camped out on 890.00, which in my mind setup a failure point where they would sweep out sell stops later. Which they did several times today. Once 890 was swept clean of stops, any subsequent "breakdown" of 890 can be viewed as setting up a subsequent reversal trade for a run back to 895.
dow trying to lead up....that's spells trouble to longs

Not to be overly dramatic, but quite recently I had a life changing experience while getting my palm read by Linda Cahan. You may recognize her name from a few of my previous posts about feng-shui. Ms. Cahan has been has been doing palmistry and intuitive counseling since 1975, she has read for a handful of celebs, and is extremely well versed in all things "new age."
It all stared a couple weeks ago, when a new friend visiting from London inquired about palm reading (she was quite skeptic, and thought she would never want to do anything in the psychic realm). I immediately told her about Linda, and we decided to go for it. Fast forward to this past Sunday, and whoa did we have our minds blown. Not only did Linda go into very private details of both of our personal lives, she gave us clear and constructive advice. Writing about it here doesn't nearly describe the otherworldly experience we both had.
If you have ever been slightly interested in palm reading, or physic counseling I would highly recommend setting up a time to see Ms. Cahan. She is holding a Palmistry workshop this Sunday at New Renaissance. This is great way to check it out for yourself!
Palmistry is an ancient practice that has evolved through the ages into a very complex and fascinating study. Through the process of learning about the hands, we can discover a wealth of information about ourselves, our inner and outer worlds, and what makes us tick. In this workshop you will learn many of the basics of reading a person through looking at and feeling their hands. And, to help you open up your intuitive and psychic senses Linda will also lead you through some helpful psychic development exercises. In the workshop you'll be learning to read palms by practicing on each other in the group and will be encouraged to practice afterwards on friends and family.

text: Google added an ability to organize labels hierarchically – just go to Gmail Labs tab under Settings, look for "Nested Labels," enable it and click "Save." You'll then need to name your label with slashes (/) to make it the "child of another". You can create complex hierarchies of labels, can expand/collapse labels, and be able to tell whether a given label contains unread messages by looking at whether it's bold or not. Please note this doesn't play nice with "Hide Read Labels" lab. You mightn't get exactly what you expect if you've both labs enabled; for e.g., collapse/expand icons won't always appear when they should. Another highly requested feature ability to "preview messages" to get a glimpse on what they contain and maybe take immediate action without opening them. This's exactly what "Message Sneak Peek" does. After you turn it on, right-clicking on a line in your inbox shows a preview pane with message in it. You can also use keyboard shortcuts for a faster sneak-peeking flow (enable keyboard shortcuts in Settings first if you'ven't done so): hit 'h' to open a sneak peek card, then navigate with 'j' and 'k,' and dismiss current card by pressing "Escape." Messages you peak at will stay unread (or it wouldn't really be a sneak peek, would it?).

Old people read faster than normal on an iPad, even though most claim to prefer 'real books', a study shows.
German researchers discovered that people of different ages could read just as well from iPads and Kindles as they do from traditional books.
In fact, old people read even faster using the the iPad as it made reading easier than both the Kindle and traditional book.
The iPad's screen was found to help them process the information on the page, even though the tablet's LED screen has been criticised for hurting readers' eyes if used over a long period of time.

Based on a poll taken in 2013, the overwhelming majority of Americans believe blacks are more than two-times likely to be racist than whites.
37 percent of Americans believe blacks are racists. That compares to 15 percent who view whites as racist and 18 percent who view Hispanics as racist.
That is, Americans view whites as the least likely to harbor feelings of ill-will towards those of different races.
The Rasmussen pole repudiates the concept of white privilege and decades of efforts by the far left to instill guilt in the minds of white Americans.
Surprisingly, black Americans agree; though barely. 31 percent of black Americans think blacks are more racist compared to 27 percent who view whites as more racist.
The variation would likely be much greater were it not for the influence of the far-left "education" system and media.
Hat tip: Eric Meadows
Please report typos...
Rasmussen found in its national telephone survey that 37 percent of U.S. adults believe blacks are racist, compared to 15 percent and 18 percent regarding whites and Hispanics, respectively, as racist. The report stipulated that the respondents were asked about ethnic groups in America, not around the world.
Break down the survey by ideology, however, and the numbers are radically different.
About 49 percent of conservative Americans consider blacks the most racist ethnic group, while 12 percent regard whites the most racist. And about 27 percent of liberal Americans saw whites as the most racist, and 21 percent, blacks.
By political party: 49 percent of Republicans say blacks are the most racist; 29 percent of Democrats agree; and so do 36 percent of "unaffiliated" respondents.
Rasmussen said: "Among black Americans, 31 percent think most blacks are racist, while 24 percent consider most whites racist and 15 percent view most Hispanics that way. Among white adults, 10 percent think most white Americans are racist, 38 percent believe most blacks are racist and 17 percent say most Hispanics are racist."
In general, only 30 percent of all Americans believe race relations in the United States are good or excellent, the survey found.

Here's why you're not already live streaming an event and how to overcome the common challenges and benefit from the opportunities live streaming an event can offer
The stories we tell have the power to make sense of - and shape - the world around us.
It's time we looked beyond traditional heroic narratives for a more inclusive form of storytelling, a collective narrative that can bring us together to tackle the biggest challenges of our time.
Why is storytelling so important to us and how to best move your audience to action? Particularly when you want to make a positive social impact, how best to do that using video?
Recently there has been a noticeable trend for brand involvement in campaigns around social causes. Procter and Gamble's International Women's Day campaign was a hit back in March. Here's why we like it...
Stakeholder voices are the most powerful vehicle if they exist, since they often have a direct and emotionally powerful story.
There are 3 elements to creating more compelling stories that companies can implement immediately in how they talk about their corporate social responsibility.
Do you put on events? Do you find they often require a lot of hard work and considerable expense to put on? Do you ever wish you could capture the magic and continue to share it even after the event is over?
Animation can be a great way to spice up a message and also a powerful tool to elicit an emotional response in the viewer, when they may otherwise not necessarily connect with your message.
People tend to give more when they feel an emotional connection with the cause and when they feel their money will make a real and lasting difference. The challenge is how to give people this experience effectively at scale.
Sometimes you get an opportunity that can potentially make a huge difference to your business or charity. It might be an invitation to pitch to investors or funders where a lot is riding on the outcome.

Entitled Ten Years On, the ten-minute film tells the stories of Karina, Clark and Tyler as they reflect on their time spent in the care of foster parents and how it has affected their lives as adults. It is an overwhelmingly positive film, showing how foster care can make an enormous change to the lives of children and young people in Derbyshire.

After his wife gave birth, Kevin Knussman, a Maryland state trooper, applied for family leave. Because his wife had medical problems after the birth, Knussman asked for an extra 30 days of paid sick leave as the "primary" caregiver. Based on state policy, a primary caregiver could take up to 30 days' accrued leave after the birth of a child. A "secondary" caregiver could use only 10 days of sick leave.
In denying Knussman's leave request because he was the father (not the mother), the benefits manager said, "God made women to have babies and unless (Knussman) could have a baby, there is no way (he) could be primary caregiver." For the employee to qualify for the leave, the manager said, his wife would have to be "in a coma or dead."
Knussman filed suit claiming that he was improperly denied caregiver status under the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). A jury decided the state and three of its employees violated both laws. This winter, a federal appeals court upheld the ruling. (Knussman v. State of Maryland, 4th Cir., No. 99-2349, 2001)
The court threw the book at the benefits manager, noting that "a reasonable leave benefits manager should have recognized that she was applying a gender-neutral leave statute in a discriminatory manner by making only men prove they were primary caregivers to newborn or adopted children."
Advice: Make sure your benefits managers or other employees who process employee leave requests are crystal clear on FMLA and state leave rights. These laws are gender neutral. Gender stereotypes have been shot down time and again by the U.S. Supreme Court.

This morning I have a beautiful, classic Irish destination wedding for you shot by Christina Brosnan of Brosnan Photographic featuring a beautiful bride and groom – Dawn and Mark. The couple had their ceremony and reception in the beautiful Muckross Park Hotel in Killarney, Co.Kerry with a black and purple theme throughout their decor.
I don't know if it is because my own wedding is getting closer or if I am just becoming soppy in my old age (sob!) but the portraits really got me with this wedding! I just love the emotion that Christina captured and the first dance photo is just too romantic and sweet for words. Pretty much the whole wedding is beautiful and the colours in Dawn's bouquet pop so nicely.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I did and congrats to the happy couple! Make sure to check out the Brosnan Photographic website for more details!

The Attorneys General of Wisconsin and Minnesota are joining forces to combat the efforts of Northshore Mining Co. in federal court to lower the air quality standards for fibers in the air around the company's taconite factory in Silver Bay, Minnesota. They are joined in their quest by numerous environmental groups from both states.
The states and environmental groups are trying to fight off the Northshore Mining Company's attempt to have air quality standards for asbestos-like fibers lowered around their plant that is on the shores of Lake Superior. The current levels were established in 1974. The current, court-ordered requirements mandate that the fibers in the air around the plant must not exceed those found in St. Paul. There is no actual number named because there is no consensus on how much taconite dust is safe to be inhaled.
Some say that the fibers found in taconite dust can cause health problems such as the deadly lung disease mesothelioma. Northshore Mining, however, does not believe taconite dust has any affect on human health.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, contact the mesothelioma lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 1-866-950-9000 to discuss any legal options that may exist and to schedule an initial consultation.

Great thread and interesting perspectives, theories and facts. I, myself, find a woman's natural scent quite intoxicating (not one of those unbathed for days types) with fragrance as complimentary to it. I feel they can be complimentary to each other, absolutely.

Especially the older, vintage perfumes smell good when mixed with body odor. For example: Vintage Tsar; Vintage Drakkar Noir.
I remember in 1992 i was working in a factory where i used to put Tsar deodorant every morning before work in my lockerroom. Home i had sprayed Tsar edt. During a working day, i sometimes got compliments how good i smell even though i knew i must also smell of sweat at least a bit.
Somehow the older fragrances mixed better with body odour than the current ones, and kind of got more "kick" / boost of the body temperature rising when working physically. As said before, vintage Drakkar Noir is another good example.

All people exude a body odor. If you want to know what yours smells like sniff a T Shirt you have worn for a day, the day after. That's what your odor is like and also what the fragrance you wore smells like when mixed with your body odor. Most people will never smell the mix of body odor and fragrance unless they are in close contact with your skin. Which does happen, so consider that when selecting fragrance. Of course, body odor is affected by diet and your cleanliness habits.

I would guess - guessing, mind - that the great, classic fragrances were never intended to be worn on utterly clean, deodorized bodies. The people who first bought Mouchoir de Monsieur and Jicky would not in all likelihood have had plumbed-in baths, let alone showers. They would have taken sponge baths of varying regularity and their concept of cleanliness would probably have depended more on the scrupulousness with which they washed their linen - hence the popularity of washerwomen in folk tales etc. These scents are animalic because they are designed to compliment the natural odours of the human body, not mimic or disguise them.
I would rather sit next to someone on a train who hasn't showered for a couple of days than someone who has showered, scrubbed and doused themselves in some generic drugstore all-over body spray...

Me too. The former is much more interesting than the latter. As long as the guy is not stinking too much, BO is not a problem for me.
On the other hand, bad breath is unnaceptable for me. I cannot french kiss a person who has bad breath. And please bear in mind that some people can stay days without brushing their teeth, without developing bad breath.
That is why I dislike MKK, it seems to be an attempt to make perfume out of BO/civet
MKK is really BO.

...or fragrance as a complement to body odor, as cedar/sandal dominated scents like for instance Tam Dao do...?

Busch Goes on 'Slow Carnival Ride'
By: Dustin Long - @dustinlong on July 6, 2014 | 2:32 P.M. EST
Kyle Busch's car is flipped right side up by one of the tow trucks after the 26-car crash. (Photo: Getty Images)
No one was injured in the Lap 100 incident.
The chaos took place on the backstretch after contact toward the front of the pack turned Kasey Kahne. Cars soon blocked the track.
"I was about sixth or so and I was getting hit from behind and started spinning,'' Kahne said. "It just got me going left to right. I knew it was going to be big as far up as I was.''
Greg Biffle made contact with the back of Kahne's car before Kahne spun.
"I am just so unhappy,'' Biffle said. "I watched the replay. That is close quarters racing. David Ragan gave me a big push and then Kasey got up and went to the middle and ran into the back of (Casey Mears) and slowed way up, and I hit the back of (Kahne).
"We weren't lined up. He moved down for some reason when he hit (Mears) or something. It was just a chain reaction. You just never know when the cars slow down that quick and I had a shove from (Ragan) from behind and you can't react that fast unfortunately."
Once cars started wrecking, there were few places to go to avoid trouble.
"From where I was at all heck broke loose all at once,'' pole-sitter David Gilliland said.
Busch drove on to the grass but his splitter dug into the grass and turned him back on to the track into traffic.
"A bunch of the other hits were much worse than the one that toppled me over,'' Busch said after leaving the infield care center. "It was real slow. When you start going over, you get tight in the the restraints. and you hold on your restraints.''
Jamie McMurray said his car got airborne.
"I will tell you I have never had a car that's off the ground,'' he said. "It's a crazy feeling, and it's a helpless feeling to have the car do that. I was really lucky that it set back down.''
Other cars involved were: Brad Keselowski, Michael Annett, Marcos Ambrose, Danica Patrick, Denny Hamlin, Clint Bowyer, Matt Kenseth, Joey Logano, Alex Bowman, Cole Whitt, Paul Menard, Ryan Newman, Terry Labonte, Bobby Labonte, Reed Sorenson, Landon Cassill, Justin Allgaier, Ryan Truex, Michael McDowell, Josh Wise and Ragan

For the government's Bt1.43trn investment package to be disbursed over the next three years, the early phase of the plan to be spent in 4Q09 and early 2010 would focus on road and irrigation projects worth Bt30-40bn. As a result, Thai construction material counters have rallied significantly. Companies related to petroleum asphalt, long steel, pipe to transmit water supply, and last but not least cement significantly outperformed SET.
In the cement space, a positive view is maintained for the outlook on domestic cement due to i) improved residential property markets, ii) stronger indicators on private investment, and iii) chunky government investment. Positive is remained to both Siam Cement (SCC, Bt220, OP) and Siam City Cement (SCCC, Bt223, OP), but Figure 2 shows that SCCC is trading near the lower band of its historical relative performance against SCC. Hence, SCCC is likely to play catch up soon.
