Eco-Friendly Practices
Are you Prepared to Handle an Emergency Spill Response?
By Maricha Ellis, VP of Marketing & Sales Operations, Stericycle Environmental Solutions
With the summer storm season upon us, it's especially important for hotels to be prepared for hazardous waste emergencies caused by severe weather. Preparation for such events is crucial for safely and compliantly handling emergency spills.
Not only is proactive planning for environmental emergencies valuable from a compliance standpoint, but it can help minimize the damage inflicted within your hotel and the surrounding area, as well as reduce the risk to the health of your guests and staff members. Taking action to prepare your property and staff in the event of severe inclement weather and other common environmental emergencies can also minimize cleanup costs. By following a few simple precautions and educating yourself on some of the most common environmental emergency circumstances that can take place on hotel properties, you can make a concerted effort to reduce the damages and expenses that can result from these events.
While there are a multitude of environmental emergencies that can occur at your hotel, some situations are more likely to occur than others. Natural disasters, flooding, container leaks, fuel spills and unknown substance handling are the five most common environmental emergency circumstances you may find yourself managing the response efforts for in your hotel.
Natural Disasters
To mitigate the risks of injury, damage to the surrounding areas and environmental harm, a successful emergency response plan and team should be in place, ready to be enacted at any time a natural disaster should occur. There are several factors that must be considered when devising an emergency response plan in anticipation of a storm or other severe weather events. From standard best practices such as moving or securing all hazardous chemicals prior to the arrival of severe weather to completing the mandatory paperwork and reporting following the cleanup, there are many precautions and elements that should be considered and prepared for accordingly.
Natural disasters often result in fuel, chemical and other hazardous substances being spilled into air, land and water. However, advance preparation in anticipation of a major storm or weather emergency can go a long way in reducing the damage, time and costs associated with emergency response cleanups. For the hazardous waste that cannot be removed prior to the arrival of the severe weather, there are several safety precautions to follow when securing the materials that will remain on site. Solids and powders can be covered in plastic and secured properly, and the correct lids should be securely fastened on containers. Containment areas should be set up and properly cleaned. Known waste areas should also be cleared out in advance of a major weather event.
Additionally, emergency response preparedness involves accounting for the identification of unknown substances, proper waste handling readiness and other critical tasks that are required for each situation. To ensure a successful emergency response in the wake of a major storm, members of your emergency response team should possess extensive expertise and specialized knowledge of hazardous substances and proper waste management that takes safety and full compliance with all applicable regulations into account.
If you plan to employ a third-party emergency response team, it's wise to make arrangements with them prior to the storm's arrival to reduce response time. Not only does this planning allow them to reach your hotel at a faster speed following the storm, but it can also reduce costs associated with emergency response efforts. These experts can suggest several ways to minimize spills and other damage inflicted by severe weather. By following their recommendations on storm preparedness practices, such as moving and securing hazardous materials before the storm arrives, you can take preventative steps to reducing your emergency response expenses.
When flooding occurs, there are a number of damaging incidents for which need to be prepared. In addition to tasks you would expect to complete when flooding takes place, such as pumping out contaminated water or mold abatement, the residual damage caused by floods can impact a variety of hazardous waste removal efforts. For example, flooded guest rooms mean products, some of which may contain hazardous materials, must be segregated according to waste stream and disposed of properly.
With materials that must be profiled for disposal, it must be processed and handled accordingly. Throughout this process, sampling and analytical testing is conducted. When sorting the materials, it's a best practice to determine which components may be recycled or otherwise re-purposed to reduce the total amount of landfill waste resulting from the emergency response cleanup.
Container Leaks
Container leaks are another common environmental emergency response situation for which you should be prepared. From fuel drums to other waste oils that may be harmful to the environment, wildlife and aquatic life, there are a variety of materials that can cause significant environmental harm if spilled.
Once a container leak has occurred, you should work quickly to identify the spilled material, secure the container and determine if there are any environmental threats that must be addressed immediately. After the leaked material has been properly identified, safely secure the container and surrounding space to prevent additional material from spreading and contaminating a greater area. If it becomes necessary to move the container to a different location, ensure it won't be exposed to unsafe weather elements that would cause further spillage and damage. Following proper protocol and compliance measures, conduct any necessary air monitoring and cleaning, as well as separate and remove damaged or contaminated items from the scene.
Fuel Spills
Given the volume of vehicles arriving and departing from your property at any given time, fuel spills are a common emergency response occurrence for which to be prepared. From containment and tracking fuel leaks to soil remediation and reporting procedures, it's important to account for a variety of factors to ensure a safe, compliant response to a fuel spill. Improperly managed fuel spills can result in soil, water and other environment damage and jeopardize personal safety of your guests, employees and members of the surrounding community.
Unknown Substance Handling
Trained emergency response technicians can identify unknown substances and assess potential environmental harm. Once the unknown substance is identified, the technician can provide the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the substance. The SDS informs on-site technicians of the guidelines for safe and compliant clean up and disposal of the substance, such as proper handling procedures, physical data, potential health hazards and equipment requirements for storage and disposal.
Complying with Regulations
In addition to preparing your hotel and staff members for environmental emergencies, it's also crucial to arm yourself with more knowledge on the regulations that must be followed in the event of an environmental emergency.
For example, the Environmental Protection Agency's Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) is critical to review and remain in compliance with as you plan for and execute any environmental emergency response efforts. Per the list of chemicals included in EPCRA, if any of these chemicals on the list are in danger of being released into the environment, hotels must have a third-party team ready to come in immediately after an emergency incident to perform cleanup. This list includes several chemicals that can commonly be found on a hotel's property, such as chlorine, propane and diesel.
The EPCRA Hazardous Chemical Inventory Reporting Requirements also state that for any hazardous chemicals used or stored on the property, facilities must maintain and submit MSDSs (Material Safety Data Sheets) or Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), or a list of hazardous chemicals to their State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and local fire department. State reporting requirements should also be reviewed to know which actions are required in the event of emergencies too.
While there are numerous environmental emergencies for which you should be expected to handle, natural disasters, flooding, container leaks, fuel spills and unknown substance handling situations are five of the most common instances you are likely to encounter in a hotel setting. Advance preparation can ensure you're doing everything in your power to minimize harm to the environment, damage to your property, the health of your guests and employees and the expenses associated with environmental emergency response efforts.
The more prepared you can make your staff members on how to react and who to contact in the case of an environmental emergency, the more well equipped you are to manage these situations safely and in compliance with government regulations. Emergency response plans detailing this level of instruction and information should be created and reviewed with employees. A third-party emergency response team can also be engaged for training and services purposes to ensure situations are handled in a safe and compliant manner, no matter what time of day the incident occurs.
From the initial response to cleanup and final paperwork and reporting, every hazardous waste emergency response situation must be managed with a commitment to safety and full compliance with all relevant regulations. Ultimately, the right preparation, intelligent planning and an experienced emergency response team are critical to the success of managing environmental emergencies in a way that protects our environment, your property and your guests and staff members.

Hey there! I was hoping to get some ideas on some badges that we could start together or that have similar requirements for the different levels in our troop. We would like to do activities together if possible or we may have to alternate which group is getting badge credit so no one feels left out.We are in a small town (approx 2,200 residents) in the middle of the desert in northweastern colorado and have 2 junior girls, 5 brownie girls and 2 daisy girls so far. Any ideas would be a huge help. Neither my leader nor i have ever lead a troop before however i was a junior and cadette scout, so i know a little. We really would like to get things going on this. We barely made it through cookie sales before i gave birth to my fourth future girl scout!

Cowboy Bebop Episode 19 English Subbed

"Wild Horses"
Stream Cowboy Bebop Episode 19
Episode Summary: While Spike takes his mono-racer in for maintenance, Jet and Faye take on a group of pirates who use computer viruses to terrorize cargo ships. The Space Shuttle Columbia appears in this episode. Predictably, this episode was pulled from US syndication runs for some time following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. This episode is named after the song "Wild Horses" by The Rolling Stones. Kimitoshi Yamane, a mecha designer, created the concept for the episode; Yamane envisioned that pirates would appear, the Bebop would lose control, and that a space shuttle rescues the crew. The Cowboy Bebop Anime Guide Volume 4 stated that the outward appearance of Doohan, a character, appears similar to that of film director Nicholas Ray.[10] The fictional team Blue Socks had inspiration from the Hanshin Tigers. Spike's "dead reckoning" system using lines scored on the window of his ship to estimate entry attitude is very similar to that employed by American astronaut Gordon Cooper during the Faith 7 mission.

Nice type, shame about the content?
Primary tabs
Being a victim isn't the monopoly of one group, no matter
how much US media is leveraged to make us believe that.
Hrant, you should have made the comma a full stop. The rest doesn't make sense.
Edit: Although I can say U.S. media is more pluralistic and reliable than BBC news.
Only if you're Irish.
Assume I am not. How does it affect the equation?
Like I commented on Flickr recently, it's pretty hopeless to try to counter decades of rich-media brainwashing with some comments on a forum. Not to mention countering outright deceptive propaganda amongst us.
I agree! The BBC is richly funded from the public purse -- probably more than any other network in the world -- and engages in deceptive propoganda that may brainwash some.
But if this forum is inappropriate, perhaps you could be less cryptic, or refer us to the right place?
I will not, because I don't want to be
persecuted for exercising free speech.
"and engages in deceptive propoganda that may brainwash some."
Propaganda or a point of view? Honest question.
Admittedly, the difference is often a fine line.
If you think the BBC is lopsided, then you need to watch some American news channels. ;o)
The point is that you can watch SEVERAL American channels. The bias is explicit, and the the money is private. The BBC is public, but selective ints coverage and dishonest about its agenda.
The BBC is not just a British problem. Thanks to British taxpayers, it is the world's biggest and most lavishly funded news organization. No other station broadcasts so extensively in dozens of languages, on TV, radio and online. The BBC's radio service alone attracts over 163 million listeners. It pours forth its world view in Persian, Arabic and Turkish, Macedonian, Albanian, Azeri, Uzbek, ...
Get the picture?
Thanks God in China is blocked ;)
A lot of things are blocked in China...
As a former UK tax payer, I am happy about every penny I gave to the BBC trhough the TV license. Are you telling me that all these "several" american channels give different points of views? They are all the same bollocks with different names! I hope you don't think this is real diversity...
Was this thread meant to be about type or was it just an excuse to diss the BBC?
Simon, who started the thread, placed a key
question-mark, so he can't be accused of that.
Regarding the BBC, any media corporation that produced both the original and revamped Doctor Who series is well worth every penny it gets! ;-)
Univers Thin (whatever number that is these days) All Caps, tight-but-not-touching -- is that the built-in kerning Dan?
The content referred to "displaced persons", not media skew.
But perhaps even mentioning this could be considered skew, i.e. how the issue is "cut". That onvolves timing, also. So it's interesting that German-Polish WW2 issues are emerging, in the light of the two Polish-born stars on Germany's World Cup team, and Gross' revelation about being in the SS, as well as this. Could be that there's a consensus that the issue is cool enough to handle, and negotiate reparations?
Reparations seem to be recognized more widely as a realistic prospect with political appeal, -- Hezbollah, for instance, yesterday promising financial support for those recently bombed out of their homes in Lebanon.
But I dunno, while reparation is one way to atone for past grievances, it would be terrible if it was institutionalized as an acceptable cost of "solving" political problems with bombs.
>Univers Thin (whatever number that is these days) All Caps, tight-but-not-touching
>— is that the built-in kerning Dan?
I don't think so… looks rather tight to me. I can't tell everything from the photos… but if they keep the tight-but-not-touching treatment to the headline areas only the design might be OK overall.
The BBC article is interesting. The German media coverage of the exhibition that I have seen has focused on how little the exhibition focused on Germans who were dispersed from Poland. It was supposed to be an exhibition on refugees in gerneral.
I saw interviews with several political and cultural figures from Poland who had visited the exhibition and who seemed quite relieved about the actual focus. They thought that it was a perfectly good exhibition. But I also remember a counter point made by a woman from Prague, though. She thought that the exhibition didn't focus enough on "why" the Germans were forced out of Eastern Europe, referring to the level of enthusiasm for Hitler in the Sudetenland before 1938, etc.
Of course, I saw these interviews on German state TV, so there is certainly the possibility of bias in the opposite direction of any BBC bias…
Nick, but how else could it be, under Capitalism?
BTW, Hzballa has always had that policy in place.* That's why they're so popular, and attacking them only increases grassroots support. They even applied that policy to the Christians who collaborated with Israel during the civil war; these were the people who carried out the Sabra-Shateela massacres (with Israeli help) no less. And when was the Jewish golden age? In Spain, under the Muslims. This is not a war of religions, it's a war of global financial domination versus human decency. Faith is simply leveraged to motivate the peon masses.
* Which makes me wonder if that's why Israel destroyed so much: maybe they're trying to bankrupt Hzballa! Collateral human damage? Those in power don't care a cluster bomb cluster about that. However, soon enough the world will rebuild Lebanon again... while Israel remains mired.
And when was the Jewish golden age? In Spain, under the Muslims.
And what happened to the Jews once the Muslims were forced out of Spain? They were killed by the Inquisition, or forced to convert—only to continue to be killed over the next few centuries because the Inquisition didn't believe their conversions to be genuine enough!
The Jews prospered in Spain under Islam intellectually, while forced to pay a head tax: a rule of Islam. Then they prospered in Iraq until they were massacred and forced to flee with nothing but the shirts on their back.
As for Israel destroying much in Lebanon: you're obviously watching/reading too much al-BBC. This was the impression they intended to create, by reusing images, some of which were doctored. The New York Times was also surprised to realize that the same man shown dead in the rubble one day, was seen a few days later in another photo mourning the destruction. If Israel wanted it could raze Beirut. Fact is it was selective.
Make no mistake, Israel's actions are not all justified; but no other government in the world would respond more discriminately if attacked -- and you know it.
Hrant, you can keep ignoring thbe religious dimension. By reading BBC you wouldn't even know the latese arrests shared a "faith" (in what? not in Marx or in humanity). But if this IS about money, then if Israel+Britain+Canada+US = capitalism; and Hezbollah+Syria+Iran=socialism, then I'm giving up my Canadian NDP membership and going capitalist.
>And when was the Jewish golden age? In Spain, under the Muslims.
This is a very complex story. During some periods, the Muslim rulers were more tolerant and enlightened than those in Europe. This led to a flowering of culture, both Muslim and Jewish. In other periods, fanatical Muslim rulers forced conversion of both Jews and Christians under threat of death.
The whole story, which I haven't studied, had a big impact on the history of both the Muslim and Christian worlds. The Muslim scholars of the tolerant periods revived Greek learning, which when transferred to the West contributed to the Renaissance. The fanatics I believe helped cause the decline of the Morrocan kingdoms and their eventual military defeat on the European continent by Christians in the areas of Spain and Portugal.
Like I said, you can't reverse industrial-strength brainwashing with ASCII.
Just to make things clearer the BBC is not funded by taxes, rather everyone (under 75) who owns a television in Britain has to pay for a licence the money goes direct to the BBC and not through any government hands, precisely to avoid any form of agenda being imposed by the government of the day.
The Grass story is a bit of a shocker.
How little prodding it took:
First: "Being a victim isn't the monopoly of one group, no matter
how much US media is leveraged to make us believe that."
Second: "I don't want to be persecuted for exercising free speech."
And then your true colours: "And when was the Jewish golden age? In Spain, under the Muslims. This is not a war of religions, it's a war of global financial domination versus human decency."
There's no need for you to be cryptic anymore. Be explicit, no one will persecute you for your free speech and human decency.
He that LIES with dogs wakes up with fleas ;-)
[ Dan: And what happened to the Jews once the Muslims were forced out of Spain? They were killed by the Inquisition, or forced to convert—only to continue to be killed over the next few centuries because the Inquisition didn't believe their conversions to be genuine enough!
As an aside: the complete term 'Spanish Inquisition' should be used in this context, since as an institution and in its operating method it was unique and not related to the Roman Inquisition which had jurisdiction only over baptised Catholics and operated under episcopal oversight. The Spanish Inquisition was a secular creation established by Ferdinand and Isabella and remained under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. As such, it was used to give bogus legal justification to the theft of Jewish property by the state and by the monarchs' favoured supporters. ]
Sounds familiar...
>The Spanish Inquisition was a secular creation
According to the history I am looking at the Spanish Inquisition was authorized by Pope Sixtus IV in 1478, and later authorized extensions of it.
I elect you as official Drama Queen of Typophile. Ye shall litter the land with Vagueness, Haughtiness, Anger, and Intellectualism! Now be gone from my sight! Poof!
Dylan - who wonders why he bothers...
Sounds familiar…
Oh, the sarcasm! Hrant, I love ya — ya militant bastard! ;)
But I gotta ask, "so where's the type?" :)
You know Hrant is one of the most prolific and important contributors on type here, and a well-loved member. You can tolerate a little drama...
* sigh * I know, I know...it's just that my Typophile union contract states that I'm allowed one barb per quarter.
the juxtaposition of good design and difficult subject material.
Are you saying that the design is refined and polished, whereas the content is raw?
The typography is appropriate to the distancing provided by the objectivity of the institution mounting the exhibit, in which case the typography represents the cool analytical institution, juxtaposed against the issue which is still emotional. So it's appropriate, whereas rough grunge typography, more representative of pain, anger and war, would be inflammatory.
Just to clarify one thing, though..."prolific" is about abundance. Nothing more (by definition, anyway). "Important"...hmmm. I'll be nice and not argue that one. "Well-loved" . . . ?
EDIT: Just realized that I'm beating a carcass by bringing any criticism of Hrant. Reading through this old thread spoke volumes:
Now back to the billable work.
Bill: According to the history I am looking at the Spanish Inquisition was authorized by Pope Sixtus IV in 1478, and later authorized extensions of it.
Yes, authorised by Sixtus IV, but managed by the crown. Ferdinand & Isabella wrote to the Pope requesting permission to establish the Spanish Inquisition and for it to operate in a unique way that differed significantly from the inquisition that developed during the Middle Ages. The latter was remarkably strictly regulated from an early period precisely because the scholastic Churchmen understood the potential for abuse and had no illusions about the temptations of secular power. The use of an institution intended to uncover theological heresy as a tool of state repression emerges in the early modern period with the strengthening of the aparatus of secular authority. In Spain, this coincided with the defeat and expulsion of the Moors and the subsequent efforts to consolidate a Christian national identity, of which the Spanish Jews were victims.
Interesting though, that when my ancestors (Central/Eastern European) were clearing feces and rubbish from town streets, bathing infrequently, and possessed of as much learning as the animals they milked, the Muslims of the time were by far our social and cultural superiors.
Macksood Aftab writes that:
Cities like Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo and Cordoba were the centers of civilization. These cities were flourishing and Muslim scientists made tremendous progress in applied as well as theoretical Science and Technology. In Europe, however, the situation was much different. Europe was in the Dark Ages. It had no infrastructure or central government. To the Muslims, Europe was backward, unorganized, carried no strategic importance and was essentially irrelevant. This considering the time period was in fact true. Nevertheless the Catholic Church (which at the time was the strongest institution in Europe) successfully convinced Christian Europe that the Muslims were infidels. This caused Europeans to think that Muslims were culturally inferior to Europe and thus Europe was unable to benefit from the new scientific discoveries being made in the Islamic lands before the 1100's. By doing this Europe kept itself in the Dark Ages while from China to Spain Islamic Civilization prospered. During the Crusades there was limited contact between Muslims and Christians and not much was transferred. As A. Lewis explains, "The Crusaders were men of action, not men of learning."
Which appears to be just as true today. Maybe America's "left-wing" scholars (labels, labels) will one day feel comfortable asking the rest of us in the west to look in the mirror and consider the possibility that our own prejudices - and thus, our propensity to *allow* western governments a free hand in wrong-headed foreign adventurism - have caused the kind of "terrorism" (response?) we see today. Instead, individuals who are able to think freely and ask the hard questions are either censured or simply ignored.
The tragedy of our century (this one and the last) is that the beast rages because it cannot (or will not) see its own face in the mirror.
No: Occam's razor.
John, as a Catholic I would not be so enthusiasthic about defending the inquisition, I know it was wrong and it can't be justified saying that things where that way everywhere on those days because it went against the actual spirit of a true christianity.
It was a mistake.
Palatine: beautiful.
"Just to make things clearer the BBC is not funded by taxes, rather everyone (under 75) who owns a television in Britain has to pay for a licence the money goes direct to the BBC and not through any government hands, precisely to avoid any form of agenda being imposed by the government of the day"
Thanks Tim, that was clear to me, I should have underlined "through the TV license"..I assumed it was clear to everyone how BBC operates. Apparentely is not...
John, as a Catholic I would not be so enthusiasthic about defending the inquisition, I know it was wrong and it can't be justified saying that things where that way everywhere on those days because it went against the actual spirit of a true christianity.
Did I suggest that the inquisition was justified because 'things were that way everywhere on those days'? That isn't the sort of argument I employ.
I think there are entirely legitimate moral and theological criticisms to be made of the Roman inquistion and, more specifically, of some of the methods employed by the inquisition. But at the same time I think it is very necessary to talk accurately about what the inquisition was, how it was organised, how it operated, what its aims were, etc. So this is why I think it is important that the distinction between the Roman inquisition and the Spanish inquisition be recognised, because the latter was distinct in several respects with regard to both its organisation, its mandate and its methods.
Ok, agreed.
> Just to make things clearer the BBC is not funded by taxes, rather everyone (under 75) who owns a television in Britain has to pay for a licence the money goes direct to the BBC....
That's taxation. It's just not funded by the general public purse or by income taxes (rather, it's more regressive than an income tax).
"Vote with your wallet."
"No taxation without representation."
Yes, put money at the heart of society, and continue thinking
that democracy can work... Just look at the wonderful results!
>Just look at the wonderful results!
Domestically, the liberal democracies are far more productive and prosperous, as well as having far more individual choice and personal liberty.
International relations are still to a great extent anarchic and break into violence, either between autocratic states, or between democratic and autocratic ones. Democratic states do not attack one another, so far.
I tell ya, ain't the Official Party Line just grand?
Genocide, shmenocide. Except the Special One of course.

11.22.1963: One Minute In Dallas
The strangest thing about the day was also the most welcome and surprising thing about the day. It was quiet — no protests, no angry demonstrations as expected — just blue skies, excited crowds, and an unseasonably warm and bright November day in Dallas. In fact, the most startling aspect was just how colorful the day was — a truly, aesthetically colorful day. That may be the first thing people noticed — the color. The color of the majestic Presidential aircraft, Air Force One; the color of that endlessly blue Texas sky; the color of the red roses handed to the beautiful First Lady after she walked down the steps of the plane at Love Field; the color of her pink Chanel dress and signature pillbox hat as she shook hands with the throng of cheering people greeting her and her husband; the color of the healthy glow on the tanned face of the young, yet secretly unhealthy, President; the color of the shiny blue and black limousines organized in a motorcade set to transport John F. Kennedy and his party to the Trade Mart in Dallas for a political speech thought to be the kick-off to the President's 1964 re-election campaign.
Yes, it was the color that most people noticed at first. It's the color of that day that people still notice. In a time where the images we look back upon are frozen in black and white, the color of November 22, 1963 jumps out at us as if it was the day the world was finally painted. In a way, it was very similar because this was the day that the world changed. This was the day where America became a jaded adult. And, even now, the colors still strike us as being from another world. Beautiful, horrible colors illustrating our history, stirring our souls, and destroying a new frontier as we watched in disbelief and wondered what was happening to our hopes, wondered who was extinguishing our dreams, and wondered what reason there was for dragging us into a cold, modern reality.
Umberto Eco has written that "time is an eternity that stammers". But time is as abstract as it is definitive; as much a matter of opinion or judgment as it is measurement or tool. For example, doing something for 46 years is long enough to make you experienced; yet dying at 46 years old means you died too soon. Living for 24 years is barely an instance in comparison to a long, full life; yet 24 years of bitterness and anger and misguided actions is equal to torture. However, you can change the world just as much at 24 as at 46, and it only takes a fraction of a second. In Dallas that day, in a collection of nightmarish seconds bracketed within several sudden minutes, a 24-year-old man who had never accomplished anything changed not only a nation's leadership, but its attitude, by killing a 46-year-old man who had accomplished more than almost anyone else ever had at that young of an age.
John F. Kennedy had given power to youth. The first President born in the 20th Century; the torch-bearing, charismatic leader of a new generation of Americans; the first President who Americans didn't view as one of history's statues but, instead, as an agent of progress. Youth put JFK in the White House. Youth drove JFK's message and his administration. The United States — a young country — was being led by a young President who energized young Americans, kicked down old walls, and set the nation sailing towards a new era.
John F. Kennedy gave power to youth, youth gave power to JFK, and on November 22, 1963, a young man killed the young President in front of his young wife and a young, ever-changing country — a country that would never be as young again.
In front of the world, in a few short, hectic minutes which seemed to last forever — a new beginning was brought to an abrupt and violent end.
After greeting the crowd at Love Field that came out to welcome them to Dallas, President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, climbed into a highly-customized, dark bluish-black Lincoln Continental limousine code-named SS-100-X by the United States Secret Service. The driver is 54-year-old Bill Greer, born in Ireland, and the oldest man on JFK's Secret Service detail. Next to Greer is Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman, the designated agent in charge of the President's trip to Texas. SS-100-X is built specifically for Presidential use, heavily armored and fitted with running boards for Secret Service agents to stand on, as well as hand grips on the trunk that agents can hold on to as they ride on the vehicle. A United States Air Force C-130 accompanies Air Force One on its stops, hauling vehicles and equipment such as the Presidential limousine, from city-to-city. It is not easy to do this, nor is it cheap, but it is necessary. The protection of the President requires complete control by the Secret Service when it comes to the planning and execution of Presidential trips.
The President does control some aspects, however. This trip to Texas is a political trip. This is the unofficial kick-off of the 1964 campaign, and Texas is a must-win state — probably the most important state in the nation to JFK's re-election chances. The President has the ability to electronically raise his seat and footrests by as much as eight inches, in order to give the crowd a better chance of seeing him. The President also can make the call about whether or not the limousine should be open or covered. In Dallas, the weather was perfect — clearing up after a rainy start to the morning in Fort Worth. The President would go without the clear, plastic bubble-top which could normally be used to cover the limo. A lot of people had turned out in Dallas to see their President; he wanted to be certain that he could be seen. For that reason, as well, there would be no agents on the running boards of Kennedy's limousine as it slowly drove through the streets of Dallas.
Besides Greer, Kellerman, the President, and the First Lady, the limousine also carries the Governor of Texas, John Connally, and his wife, Nellie. Connally is a protege of the Vice President, Lyndon Johnson, who is sitting two cars behind the Presidential limo. Connally is young, ambitious, popular, and rising quickly in the world of politics. Many observers believe that Connally could become the first Texan to become President. In less than an hour, they would already be incorrect.
Eight motorcyle escorts and a lead car with Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry at the wheel pilot the Presidential motorcade, with the District of Columbia license plate "GG 300", out of Love Field and towards the Trade Mart, site of President Kennedy's lunchtime speech. Following the President's limousine is a convertible code-named "Halfback" containing Secret Service agents inside the vehicle and on the running boards, as well as Presidential aides Kenneth O'Donnell and Dave Powers, devoutly loyal, close friends of the President who help form his "Irish mafia". Halfback is followed by Vice President Johnson's limousine, also containing Senator Ralph Yarborough and more Secret Service agents, including Johnson's lead agent, Rufus Youngblood. Another Secret Service follow-up car is behind LBJ's limo, followed closely by press vehicles, photographers, cars full of Congressmen, local politicians, White House aides, military aides, and others.
As the motorcade makes its way towards the Trade Mart, it is sunny and bright and Jackie Kennedy wants to wear her sunglasses. After leaving Love Field, the caravan travels along lightly-populated roads with very few spectators. Governor Connally wasn't expecting anyone to view the motorcade until it reached downtown, but here-and-there are a few people catching a glance at the President's limo heading towards downtown Dallas. Inside the car, President Kennedy vetoes Jackie's attempt to put on her sunglasses. The people want to see her eyes, want to see her smile, and this is a political trip — you have to give the people what they want. So, Jackie does. But she welcomes every overpass that the motorcade travels under because it provides a brief respite of shade and whenever the crowds momentarily thin during the drive, she slips her sunglasses on quickly to shield her eyes from the glare. Presidential aide Ken O'Donnell had reminded Jackie prior to the motorcade's departure that she should do her best to look to the left side and greet those people who were on the opposite side of the street from the President that were prevented from getting a good view of JFK. Help temper their disappointment by allowing them to see you, Jackie. A lot of the time, she forgot that people enjoyed seeing her, too. She had a habit of looking at the President, watching the President greet the crowds. She admired his ability to turn on that switch and release that charisma that attracted her to him in the first place. For the most part, she did just as requested. For the most part, she wasn't looking at the President. For the most part.
For weeks, fears gripped the Presidential advance team planning the Texas trip because of anti-Kennedy tension in many Texas cities, particularly Dallas. With the motorcade greeting happy, smiling, excited crowds, Governor Connally relaxes a bit. He was worried that this trip through Dallas would not be an easy one. Dallas is the most conservative city in Texas, and for the past few days, leaflets attacking the President have circulated amongst every level of Dallas society. Governor Connally thought that this would be an ugly trip through an unimpressed citizenry. President Kennedy wasn't much more confident about Dallas than the Governor — noting earlier that "We're heading into nut-country today." Yet, as they inched closer downtown, Connally is relieved and the President appears to be genuinely enjoying himself.
In the follow-up car behind the President's limousine, the Secret Service is scanning the crowds which are gaining in size as the motorcade gets closer to the Trade Mart. In that same car, Ken O'Donnell and Dave Powers also scan the crowd. Probably more worried about a hostile crowd than the President, these two aides are satisfied. O'Donnell is pleased that the First Lady remembered his suggestion and is facing the people on her side of the limo. Over the noise of the cheering crowd, O'Donnell tells Powers, "There's certainly nothing wrong with this crowd."
The motorcade is heading towards Dealey Plaza — "Dallas's Front Door" — where the biggest crowd is gathered to see the President pass on his way to give his speech. It's 65 degrees and the motorcade makes a turn onto Houston Street from Main Street. The crowds are now thick in numbers and bursting with anticipation. Cheers are drowning out the noise of motorcycles and big cars. The trip down Houston is short and leads the motorcade into a sharp turn on to Elm Street — almost a U-turn and fairly difficult for the long, awkward limousine to handle. From Main to Elm, less than one minute ticks off the clock. They are just five minutes away from the Trade Mart and this trip has been a pleasant surprise — astonishingly positive despite Dallas's reputation as being virulently anti-Kennedy.
As they are navigating that sharp turn on to Elm Street, Governor Connally's wife, Nellie, turns to the President and smiles. "Mr. President, they sure can't say Dallas doesn't love you, can they?". Smiling back, the President responds "No, they sure can't."
A non-descript building called the Texas School Book Depository stands guard over the sharp turn where the motorcade merges on to Elm Street. At the top of the seven-story brick building, a large Hertz sign displays the time to Dealey Plaza. For hours, anxious Texans have been glimpsing at the clock from the positions they staked out in Dealey Plaza, waiting for their glimpse of the President of the United States. There are people with their children, pointing out the motorcycle escorts that signal that the President's arrival is imminent. There are white people and black people, old people and young people, men and women, standing on grassy areas of the plaza or along Elm Street's sidewalk, waiting and watching. There is a man named Abraham Zapruder, a local dressmaker, who is excitedly waiting to use his new Bell & Howell 8mm video camera to film a few seconds of the President's visit to Dallas. In the buildings surrounding Dealey Plaza, there are workers who have interrupted what they are doing so they could flock to the windows and watch history pass through their city.
The motorcade is only moving at a speed of 11 miles per hour, but the trip through Dealey Plaza will be measured in seconds, not minutes, so the crowd is ready to catch their quick glimpse. On the sixth floor of the Book Depository building, an employee has taken a break from work to watch the motorcade. He is young — the type of person who is likely to have voted for John F. Kennedy if he was actually old enough to vote at all in 1960. He is also focused, even determined. Everyone wants to see the President, but this young man can't miss him. He won't miss him.
Just above that young man, the clock on the Hertz sign changes. It is exactly 12:30 PM in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. The sky is blue. The temperature is warm. Pigeons on top of the Book Depository building seem to be just as interested in the activity below as the young man in the sixth-floor window. Below him, crowds are cheering wildly. The President and his beautiful wife are finally passing by, along with the Governor and Mrs. Connally. There are smiles and waves and cheers. But when that clock strikes 12:30 PM everything changes.
It's inexplicable, but time acts unnaturally in the next few minutes. The minutes seem long while the seconds seem instant. At 12:30 PM on Elm Street, however, everything changes. Some think it's a motorcycle backfiring, some think it's a firecracker, but the pigeons on top of the Book Depository building think it's time to fly away quickly. A smiling President doesn't even have time to stop smiling as everything changes.
What can you do in 4.6 seconds? It takes twice that amount of time for the fastest human being who has ever lived to run 100 meters at top speed. Some people take longer than 4.6 seconds to process thoughts, to start sentences, to absorb facts and make conclusions. Some people only need 4.6 seconds to leave an indelible imprint upon history, to make a wife a widow and children fatherless. For some people, 4.6 seconds is all the time required to change the world.
The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM. President John F. Kennedy's motorcade has passed the building and is on Elm Street, in the open air of Dallas's Dealey Plaza, en route to the Trade Mart, just five minutes away.
On Elm Street, Jackie Kennedy sees another overpass that will provide a brief, shady respite from the glare of the bright Texas sun. Those quick seconds of a cool shield from the unseasonably warm November day have been welcome interruptions from the waving and smiling that she has been greeting crowds with since the President and the First Lady arrived at Love Field just a few minutes earlier. As Presidential aide Kenneth O'Donnell had reminded her to do, Jackie is looking at the crowd on her left while President Kennedy looks to his right. Directly, in front of the President is Texas Governor John Connally, pleasantly surprised at the friendly Dallas welcome the President is receiving. Next to the Governor is his wife, Nellie, who just finished joking to the President that it would be impossible for people to say that Dallas didn't love him. Driving the President's Lincoln limousine at 11.2 miles per hour, Secret Service agent Bill Greer just navigated a sharp turn below the Book Depository building while agent Roy Kellerman scans the crowd from his front passenger seat. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
On Elm Street, a large crowd has gathered on the grassy expanse in Dealey Plaza, as well as along the sidewalks, hoping to catch a wave or a smile from their popular President before he disappears underneath the triple railroad overpass that Jackie anticipates while give her a momentary break from the sun. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
On Elm Street, Secret Service agents in follow-up cars search the large crowds for unnatural movements, suspicious characters, and anything which might interfere with or cause harm to the Presidential motorcade or the President himself. The car behind the President, code named Halfback, also carries the President's close aides, O'Donnell and Dave Powers. They watch the President intently, studying his interaction with the crowd, soaking up what is working and what is not working on this almost purely political trip into suspected hostile territory for JFK. Up until now, they too have been surprised by Dallas's warm welcome. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
On Elm Street, the car behind Halfback carries Vice President Lyndon Johnson, his wife Lady Bird, Senator Ralph Yarborough, and several Secret Service agents. This is his home state, but Lyndon Johnson is just along for the ride. He's not happy with his role as Vice President. He's not thrilled to be riding with Senator Yarborough, who he has been feuding with for several years, and he'd rather be home at his LBJ Ranch or running the country that JFK is in charge of. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
Above Elm Street, 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald sits in a sixth-floor window of his place of employment — the Book Depository building — watching, waiting, and ready. Oswald has an Italian-made, 6.5 x 52 mm Carcano rifle which he purchased by mail order eight months earlier. Inside of the rifle is a round-nosed bullet with a copper jacket. With this rifle and this bullet, Oswald is going to change the world. Before the clock on the Hertz sign a couple of floors above him ticks off another minute, Lee Harvey Oswald will change the world with something that weighs just 10 grams. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
The loud crack that everyone hears at exactly 12:30 PM is difficult to figure out, even for the highly-trained Secret Service agents guarding the life of the President. Most think that it is a motorcycle backfiring, perhaps even a firecracker. The First Lady would later say that was what she thought. Only one of those highly-trained Secret Service agents reacts immediately. He is Rufus Youngblood and the instant he hears the crack of Oswald's gun, he leaps into the backseat of his car and shoves the 6'3" Vice President as far down into the limo as possible, screaming "Get down!" while covering him with his body. Later, Youngblood notes that he briefly worried that he he might be overreacting. He wasn't.
One person does realize that the sound he heard isn't a motorcycle backfiring or a firecracker exploding. Governor Connally is an avid hunter and he realizes that someone just fired a rifle. The Governor — relieved that the Dallas trip was going better than expected to this point — also realizes that the perfect trip just turned into an attempted assassination. Immediately after hearing the first shot, Connally begins saying, "Oh, no, no, no!". In the 2.3 seconds after the first shot is fired, people are still trying to figure out what just happened. The clock on the Hertz sign still reads 12:30 PM when a second shot is fired.
Still looking to her left, Jackie Kennedy shifts to the right when she hears the Governor's words. The President is smiling at a young boy and beginning to wave when Oswald's second shot tears through the back of the President's neck just to the right of his spine. The bullet causes damage to Kennedy's right lung, shreds his trachea and exits through the front of his throat, slicing through his tie. The bullet doesn't stop there. Governor Connally had jerked quickly to his right upon hearing the first gunshot. The same bullet that passed through the President rips into Connally's back, exits his chest, re-enters his body at his right wrist and plunges through to his left thigh. Greer, the driver, looks back over his right shoulder. Kellerman, the passenger, looks over his left. Inexplicably, they don't react. Agent Clint Hill, on a running board of Halfback, does. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
The President is hurt, but his wound is not mortal. In fact, Governor Connally is injured far more severely from the shooting. Blood is pouring out of his chest, but a delayed reaction means he doesn't feel pain for a second or two after being hit. When the pain hits, it is excruciating and Connally moans, "They are going to kill us both!" as his wife grabs him and pulls him towards her. Jackie now realizes that something is terribly wrong because the Governor of Texas is screaming with fright and pain. She looks to her husband and he has a look on his face that reminds her of when he'd get a headache or was in the middle of a deep thought. Later, she would describe his look as "quizzical". The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
President Kennedy jerks into an odd position as he is hit. He grasps at his throat, his hands clenched in fists and his elbows higher than his shoulders. This movement — exceedingly unnatural-looking — finally elicits a response from the Secret Service. While Greer unsconsciously slows the Presidential limousine down and Kellerman freezes, Clint Hill has bounded off of Halfback and is running towards the back of the President's car. Several Secret Service agents reach for their guns, still unsure of what happened, but positive that something has gone wrong. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
The President slumps slightly towards his wife, as if he is choking and needs assistance. Jackie leans towards the President. With her white-gloved hands, she gently grabs JFK's left elbow and begins pulling him towards her. It has been less than five seconds since the first shot was fired, but it is now clear that the glare of the Texas sun is the least of Jackie Kennedy's worries. She glances briefly towards the front of the limo at Governor Connally, whose lap is drenched with blood; at Nellie Connally who is pulling her husband into her lap; at Bill Greer, who actually slowed the limo down in his confusion; and at Roy Kellerman, who is looking back at the President, yet still sitting in his passenger seat. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
As the President leans towards his wife and the First Lady leans towards her husband, it appears as if Jackie is looking now at the area of the throat that Kennedy is clutching. Their faces are just inches apart from each other. Jackie is no longer looking to her left. There are no more waves, no more smiles. Kellerman remembers hearing the President say, "My God, I'm hit", but no one else in the limo remembers that. In fact, it was probably impossible for the President to speak after the bullet tore through his throat. The clock on the Hertz sign above the Texas School Book Depository building reads 12:30 PM.
On Elm Street, the glamorous First Lady, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, is wearing a bright pink dress and spotless white gloves and has a bouquet of fresh red roses in her lap while the dark blue Presidential limousine passes a crowd of diverse colors gathered in a plaza full of green grass as a third shot rings out. The clock on the Hertz sign on top of the ugly, brown Book Depository building still reads 12:30 PM.
If there was any doubt about what was happening as the first two shots were fired, the doubt disappears in a thick mist of blood, bone and brain matter when the third shot hits its mark. Motorcycle cops escorting the President's limousine are sprayed first by the sickening result of Lee Harvey Oswald's third shot. One likened it later to being hit with "wet sawdust". Before the third shot, there is no blood other than that pumping out of John Connally's wounds. John F. Kennedy has been wounded, but he is not bleeding noticeably. Yet, as Jackie leans into her husband everything turns red — the limousine, Jackie's fashionable dress, the Connallys, Greer, Kellerman, the naturally red roses, the windscreens on motorcycles near the limo, and the faces of Secret Service agents inside Halfback.
By the third shot, Secret Service agents have turned their attention to the the Presidential limousine and many are watching President Kennedy's head when the final shot hits. Later, people remembered the sound just as distinctly as the sight. One agent recalled the dull sound as being similar to the noise of a watermelon being smashed or a bullet being shot into a jug of water. Almost all of the agents watching the President immediately know that the wound is fatal. Ken O'Donnell and Dave Powers, two of Kennedy's closest friends as well as longtime aides, begin praying. Clint Hill is almost to the back bumper of JFK's car when the third shot hits and covers him in blood and flesh.
The fatal shot strikes President Kennedy in the back of the head, almost directly in between the ears. The entrance wound is small, but the bullet violently exits the right side of the front of his head, exploding into a cloud of blood, pieces of his cerebellum, skull fragments, and flesh with hair still attached. The President's body jerks suddenly to the front and then to the back, awkwardly slamming into the seat and falling into the lap of Jackie. Blood is everywhere. Thick clumps of blood which immediately cover the limousine. Jackie screams, "My God, what are they doing? My God, they've killed Jack! They've killed my husband. Jack! Jack! I love you, Jack!". Jackie is cradling her husband's disfigured head in her lap as blood stains her pink suit and white gloves. The brain of her husband — a brain admired by so many for it's ability and intellectual curiosity — is leaking out of his head along with bright red blood which is as thick as mud.
Suddenly, Jackie jumps up and climbs towards the trunk of the limousine. She is later asked about this action and doesn't remember why she did it. In fact, she has no recollection of doing it at all, even when looking at photographs of herself doing it. Clint Hill has caught up to the hand grips on the back of the Lincoln as Kellerman finally acts and orders Greer to accelerate. Hill nearly loses his grip and is also unsure later why Jackie was climbing out of the backseat. To some it looks like she is trying to escape the horror, to others it appears as if she is trying to help pull Hill on to the limo. To a lot of people, it's thought that she was retrieving pieces of her husband's shattered skull. Despite Greer's acceleration, Hill jumps on to the limo, grabs Jackie, puts her back into the seat, and lays spread-eagle above the mortally-wounded President. The site inside the limo sickens him. A flap of Kennedy's skull is hanging to his head only by a thin thread of flesh. There is blood everywhere. Pieces of detached skull fragments with Kennedy's hair still attached lie in the backseat.
Hill knows that the President's wound is not survivable. As he shields the dying President and the shocked First Lady, he slams his hand against the car's exterior, realizing that the Secret Service just failed to do it's most important job. Nellie Connally cradles her husband in her arm's as well. Not all of the blood is Kennedy's. Governor Connally is bleeding profusely. He is also losing consciousness. Indeed, Nellie Connally believes her husband is actually dead until his hands move slightly. Jackie Kennedy is repeating over-and-over again, "They've killed him! I love you, Jack!".
The President of the United States is still breathing, but barely. His eyes are open, staring blankly at Jackie as she tries to shield him from the horror that has already befallen her, her family, and her country. Kellerman orders the limousine to head to Parkland Hospital and the Greer slams the gas pedal to the floor, heading out of Dealey Plaza and underneath the triple overpass that Jackie was looking forward to. The people in the plaza are stunned. Most don't even realize what has happened. Those who do are convinced that Kennedy is dead.
Before lapsing into unconsciousness from his wound, Governor Connally hears Jackie Kennedy's tears. He hears his wife screaming. He hears static on the police and Secret Service radios as they frantically, belatedly take action. He hears orders being given, engines being revved, and his own heart pumping blood just as quickly as it pours out of his body.
What he doesn't hear are frightened pigeons flying up and away from the Book Depository building. What he didn't hear was empty shell casings popping out of Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle and landing on the floor of his sixth-floor perch. What he doesn't hear are the labored breaths and gurgling sounds coming from the President's wounded throat. What he doesn't hear are the preparations being made to receive a Code 3 emergency at Parkland Hospital involving the President of the United States.
What Governor Connally most remembers hearing as he drifts into unconsciousness is Jacqueline Kennedy — elegant, beautiful Jacqueline Kennedy — sobbing and saying over-and-over again, "What have they done to you? I love you, Jack!". And, finally — tragically, heartbreakingly, horrifically — he hears the First Lady softly tell Clint Hill, "I have his brains in my hand."
In less than five seconds, Lee Harvey Oswald changed the course of history in the most dramatic, violent, brutal, and sickening way — and he made it look easy. As the President's limo sped towards Parkland Hospital, someone who looked towards the building that the shots came from would have noticed the pigeons flying upwards and away from the building. And as those pigeons rose into the bright blue Texas sky of November 22, 1963, someone who looked towards the building that the shots came from also might have noticed a clock on the Hertz sign on top of the building's roof.
If they noticed that clock on that sign, they would have seen that the time was now 12:31 PM.

The Church has a biblical basis for caring for the Earth, which God made for his glory and his people's enjoyment. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the Earth and its people today, and will impact on every aspect of human life and the natural environment.
The Church must take this challenge seriously, and so the Diocese of Guildford is working with groups, organisations and local authorities across the diocese, and encouraging and resourcing the parishes to care for creation and respond locally to the global climate crisis.
"For the Church of the 21st Century, good ecology is not an optional extra but a matter of justice. It is therefore central to what it means to be a Christian."
Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams
There are lots of environmental events and initiatives on the go, including a trial of the Creationtide liturgy and various ways to reduce your church's carbon footprint - see the 'Get Involved' page for more information or contact Revd Lesley Crawley.

we aren't ready for another baby quite right now. i mean i am missing caring around a little one and it's incredible what a woman's body can do. i never realized how amazing it was until i went through that experience and saw how my body reacted and changed and knew exactly how to handle itself when i didn't even know what to do.
it would be an honor to be pregnant again and i thank addison every single day that she chose us to be parents. i mean...us! we are the lucky ones who get the raise her and influence her and teach her how beautiful life is. but i also want this time with addison just her and her daddy and i before we introduce another one in to the family. i want her to have memories of the three of us going to the beach and the zoo and having family nights cuddled up under blanket forts and munching on animal crackers.
but you know what. the minute i find out i'm pregnant with our next one, i am going to cherish it. i am going to embrace carrying that baby and talk to him or her and sing and imagine how wonderful life will be when addison and that baby are sitting together and we get to call these babies ours.
so not yet. but i'll be ready when the time comes.

Before changing any drivers, make sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.
If there are no points, make a System Restore Point Manually.
Your Atheros network driver is outdated.

"The Goodbye at the End of Summer"
Episode Summary: Summer vacation is now over and the second semester has started at Tomoya's school. Nagisa's father Akio asks Tomoya to form a baseball team for a local game against the neighboring shopping district team. Tomoya is able to recruit Kyou and Kotomi from the drama club, Youhei and his younger sister Mei, Tomoyo, Misae, and Yusuke. Tomoya's team manages to get an early lead, but Akio's leg gets injured by a flying bat, and Nagisa fills in for her father as the pitcher. The other team catches up near the end, and it comes down to the final inning when Tomoya scores an RBI, winning the game.

When you are in the student loan rehab program, are you allowed to pay more than the normal monthly payment that was set up? Say, you're affordable and reasonable payment was set to $50.00. Could you go ahead and pay more $100, to help reduce to cost?? Has anyone payed off their rehab loan completely before the 9 months? Or do you need to strictly stay on that 9-10 month program to have the default loan status cleared?

Resolve to Follow Resolutions
A year ago I had a pretty simple checklist for what to do in 2005. So let's review:
1. Rekindle my reading habit by reading a chapter a night on school nights.
Maybe not a chapter a night, but I have been reading a lot more this year. My book queue is up to about forty books now (that are already on my shelves), so I have a LOT of catch up to do.
2. Reply to email in a relatively timely fashion
Wow. No dice on this one. I've got stuff from the summer still. sigh
3. Call my friends more often
I've been doing better with keeping in touch with some people, but I've not been consistent.
4. Get into the gym on a regular basis (i know, i know, EVERYONE says this)
I actually did this for a good chunk of the year, and then let it slide of in December with all the craziness at work. So back into it this week starting Monday. Gotta be in shape by Summer.
5. Try to maintain a positive outlook regardless of what is going on (especially in regards to politics and relationships)
This one I feel I've actually done pretty well in regards to just overall outlook. I was sad a lot this year, but unlike before, I didn't let it slide into a massive funk.
So what did I actually get done that wasn't a resolution this past year?
- Bought my first house
- Released a short animated film with Kory and my sister and had it screen domestically and internationally.
- Roadtripped to the Kentucky Derby
- Rediscovered the joys of baseball
- Spent a lot of time with an amazing woman (who was responsible for the previous item)
- Went from working independently to managing six people as the interim Creative Director at work
- Started recording an album (seven years in the making)
- Learned a new programming framework
And various other things. Rocking.
So… the checklist, which is going to be printed out and hung over my desk for 2006:
- Read a book a month (at least),
- Take better care of myself (physically, mentally, and spiritually),
- Seek truth in all things,
- Work on the house,
- Not commit to projects I don't have the energy, time, or desire to adequately attend to,
- Get a movie deal with Kory and my sister,
- Love.
That's pretty realistic. Not really things that I'll be "oh crap, guilt complex" over if I don't do. More so guidelines and a list to come back to when I feel I'm straying from where I want to go.
So, what's your resolution(s)?

text: hey all, I need to monitor my voice usage from 7am to 5pm Mon-Friday. Evenings and weekends are unlimited talk on my plan. I also have to monitor data usage 24/7 I was using the Stats app, which is great, but it monitored usage all the time and would set off the configured thresholds all the time due to talking a lot after 5pm. Is there any apps that will monitor talk and data BUT has the option to set customized times to monitor it and ignore my talk time from 5pm-7am then monitor it from 7am-5pm Monday to Friday? thanks.

Russia on Thursday surprised the Western powers by proposing a UN Security Council resolution on the Syria crisis amid mounting international shock over the deadly crackdown.
The resolution condemns the violence by President Bashar al-Assad's government and opposition groups, but proposes no sanctions. Europe and the United States welcomed the Russian initiative but said the proposed text was not tough enough on the Damascus government.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, however, western nations would try to work with Russia in a bid to pass a first Security Council resolution on the crackdown, which the UN says has left more than 5,000 dead.
As a key ally of Syria, Russia has tried to head off Security Council intervention in the crisis. With China, it vetoed a council resolution proposed by European nations in October condemning Assad's action.
Russia however called emergency talks of the 15-nation body on Syria to propose the new resolution which strongly condemns violence by "all parties, including disproportionate use of force by Syrian authorities," according to a copy obtained by AFP.
It also raises concern over "the illegal supply of weapons to the armed groups in Syria." Western diplomats said they had no firm evidence of arms trafficking to Syria.
Western envoys called the draft "unbalanced" because it put opposition violence on the same level as the crackdown by government forces, many of whom are starting to defect, according to rights groups.
They also said there should be a total arms embargo and give clear support to Arab League sanctions against Syria.
Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin again rejected any talk of sanctions and even criticized the Arab League measures -- though the draft does back Arab League efforts to negotiate a settlement.
"It (sanctions) is a page from somebody else's book and we don't think that this has been a productive, useful move by the Arab League," he said.
"The role of the Security Council should not be to fan the conflict in Syria," Churkin added.
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.

But he acknowledged some of the doubts raised in talks. "We said that we are looking forward to working with them in order to adopt a text, a resolution of the Security Council, which will really bring about an end to violence and crisis in Syria and help that country proceed on the path of political reforms."
Western officials put up multiple objections but said the document was a basis for talks after months of division over how to handle Syria.
"There are some issues in it that we would not be able to support. There's unfortunately a seeming parity between the government and peaceful protesters," Clinton said in Washington.
"But we are going to study the draft carefully. It will have to be shared with the Arab League, which has taken the lead on the response to what's going on in Syria," Clinton said.
"And hopefully we can work with the Russians who for the first time at least are recognizing that this is a matter that needs to go to the Security Council," she said.
France's UN envoy, Gerard Araud, called the Russian move "extraordinary" and said it showed that Russia was feeling the international pressure over its support for Assad.
He said the text "clearly needs many amendments because it is unbalanced. But it is a text on a basis on which we are going to negotiate."
Araud and other envoys also said there could be no comparison between the government and opposition violence.
"We have to really show that the violence has come from the Syrian regime, that it is the Syrian regime which has shot down thousands of demonstrators," Araud said.
"Of course, after eight months of violence now, some demonstrators are shooting back, but we can't simply put them back to back, and say that they are all 'acts of violence'."
Germany's UN ambassador Peter Wittig said the Russian text was an overdue sign that the council is now discussing Syria "in a serious manner" called the text "insufficient".
He said the text would have to include references to a UN Human Rights Council recommendations for an independent commission of inquiry and give backing to all measures by the Arab League "not just selectively but all the decisions."
