- Large White Christmas Ornament
- Fabri Tac (Beacon Adhesives)
- White Cardstock
- Diamond Glitter Glue (Ranger Industries)
- Adhesive Diamond Rhinestones (Mark Richards)
- 1" White Satin Ribbon (2 ft.)
- Silver Jingle Bells (2)

64503 Floral Petals Punch
64502 Birch Leaf Punch
64500 Alpine Snowflake
65800 Tool Kit
65900 Molding Mat
97500 Small Snowflake
Rose Assembly:
- Punch Floral Petals 6 times with White Cardstock. To create a smaller rose, discard the six largest petals.
- Place the petals on the Craft Molding Mat. With the large ball stylus #8, move the stylus around in small circular motions with medium pressure to shape each petal. The petals will start to curl on the edges.
- Place the tweezers at the smaller, defined end of the petal. Use your index finger and thumb to pinch the shape around the end of the tweezers.
- Holding the pinched end between your finger and thumb, use the tweezers to grasp the side of the shape and roll back to form petal.
- After all the petals have been shaped. Lay the petals on the craft mat and paint each petal with the diamond glitter glue. Allow to dry. (option: you can also paint the rose when fully assembled)
- Punch a snowflake out of white cardstock. Lay the snowflake on the Craft Molding Mat, use the #8 stylus and move in small circular motion in the center of the snowflake. The snowflake will cup up. This will be used as our flower base.
- Start with the cupped snowflake. Working with the largest petals first, dip the end of each individual petal into the glue and adhere the petal to the snowflake base. Continuing with the next largest petals to the smallest, glue to the base one by one until you get to the center. The last couple of small petals curl inward to create center.
- Punch two leaves from the White cardstock.
- Shape the underside of each leaf with the #8 stylus. (step #3)
- With the small end stylus #2 draw veins onto each leaf. Paint Diamond Glitter Glue onto the leaves. Allow glitter glue to dry and then glue leaves to rose.
- Punch 12 large snowflakes and 8 small snowflakes. To create a sturdy snowflake, glue two of the same size snowflakes together to make three large snowflakes and four small snowflakes. Paint each snowflake with Diamond Glitter glue. Allow to dry.
- To create a dimensional snowflake, adhere large snowflake slightly off-centered with a small foam mounting square to the same size snowflake. Add diamond rhinestone to the center of each snowflake.
- Glue Glittered White Roses and Snowflakes onto the Ornament with Fabri Tac glue.
- Add White Satin Ribbon, Bows and Silver Jingle Bells to finish Ornament.

My kids got misty-eyed when I told them that – since we were not Jewish – we would spend part of the Yom Kippur holiday from school getting flu shots.
Thus ensued several conversations with my 5-year-old daughter about inoculations, her idea of cruel and unusual punishment.
"Will it be just one shot?" she kept asking. She and her twin brother even came up with a survival plan: he would go fir…

Cannes 2013 Review: 'Michael Kohlhaas' Is a Tedious Waste of a Strong CastCannes Film Festival By Shaun Munro on May 29, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Arnaud des Pallieres' take on Heinrich von Kleist's novella, Michael Kohlhaas, has all the makings of a riveting, party-crashing entry into the Cannes Film Festival's In Competition banner, what with its focus on adventure and righteous vengeance. Disappointing it is, then, that while it features Mads Mikkelsen in as game a mode as ever, and the landscapes are sumptuously shot, the soporific narrative pulse has kept this oddly forgettable film clear of festival discussion pretty much altogether, which many could argue is even worse than it being an alright flop. The story begins as the titular character (Mikkelsen), a merchant, is forced by a local Baron (Swann Arlaud) to relinquish two of his prized horses as collateral on the way to the market due to him not having the proper documentation. When Kohlhaas returns to discover that the steeds are of ill health and Cesar (David Bennent), the man he left behind to tend for them, has been attacked by the Baron's guard dogs, he seeks reparations from the courts. However, given the Baron's social stature, Kohlhaas loses the case immediately. Devastatingly, his wife, Judith (Delphine Chuillot), also winds up murdered while travelling to plea the case, and so Michael teams up with the local social outcasts to launch an attack against the Baron and his army.
Movie Scene of the Year: The 'Holy Motors' Accordion Intermission2012 Year in Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2012 | Comments (3)
Whether you loved it, hated it, or were scratching your head all the way through, Leos Carax's Holy Motors is a memorable film. This disjointed, manic work is one of the most original and boundary-pushing movies of the year, avoiding anything resembling narrative coherence and conventional character development. It also features an amazing lead performance by Denis Lavant as a huge cast of unusual characters. While many moments in the film stand out – the motion capture sex scene, Eva Mendes's abduction by Lavant's sewer-dwelling goblin, Kylie Minogue's touch of tragedy through song – perhaps the film's most exhilarating moment was its musical intermission, in which Lavant leads a band through an old cathedral where they collectively rock out with their accordions out. Even amongst the FSR staff who weren't as taken by this film as I was (his name rhymes with Rob Hunter), we mostly agreed that this scene stands out, even in a film (and a year of films) with many great scenes to choose from.
'Holy Motors' Trailer Gives Us a Glimpse of What All the Festival Circuit Fuss Is AboutMovie News By Nathan Adams on October 22, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Have you spent the past month or so hearing whispers about some movie called Holy Motors, and how someone you know has seen it at this festival or that, and how it's probably the most amazing movie of all time, but you still haven't really gotten a good idea of what it is or what it's about? Then you're in luck, because a trailer promoting the film's U.S. release has just hit the net, and now we can all get a glimpse of what festival goers have been raving about. The latest film from French writer/director Leos Carax, Holy Motors is said to be about a day in the life of a character named Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant), a mysterious figure who is able to jump from one life to the next. That's the gist of the official synopsis, at least. But it only takes a couple seconds of getting into this trailer to realize that Holy Motors is the sort of abstract, fantastical film that refuses to be adequately summed up with a synopsis.
NYFF: 'Holy Motors' Dares the Audience to Figure it OutMovie Reviews By Daniel Walber on October 12, 2012 | Comments (2)
There is a theory that Fellini's La Dolce Vita is structured, quite schematically, like Dante's Inferno. The idea is that this three hour film can be broken down into nine significant episodes, one for each of the layers of Hell. It doesn't really work without ignoring some sequences and fudging the math, but no matter. Complicated and almost conspiratorial interpretations of movies will always abound; one need look no further than Shining conspiracy documentary Room 237, also playing this installment of the New York Film Festival. Yet sometimes a movie comes along that seems to dare the audience to come up with intricate analyses, to start cranking away even before the credits have rolled. Intentionally or otherwise, Leos Carax's Holy Motors is one of those challenges.
Top 12 Performances From Cannes 2012: Kidman, Hedlund, and Cusack?! Oh My!Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 29, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Last year's Cannes Film Festival featured this year's Oscar winning Best Actor performance thanks to the inclusion of the wonderful The Artist in competition, and though the films seem to have been chosen for their artistry and provocative subtexts more than any really commercial pointers (as always happens the year after the festival is deemed "too commercial"), there have been some seriously fine performances this year as well. There wasn't an Uggy this year, but there was a murdered pooch in Moonrise Kingdom, a bitey Killer Whale in Rust & Bone, and a striking performance from an armadillo in Bernardo Bertolucci's Me and You, so we'll have to wait and see who emerges with the best animal performance. Probably won't come from Madagascar 3 though…so for the time being, let's stick to the humans.
'Holy Motors' Trailer Looks Like a Shaken Cat in a Burlap SackMovie News By Scott Beggs on May 28, 2012 | Comments (2)
The question is, do you open the sack? Simon's review from Cannes praises the positive brand of bat-shit insanity that Leos Carax's latest flick, Holy Motors, has going for it: "Really, the film is no more than a Kafkaesque short story idea, stretched out into a high-high-concept film that is baffling, infuriating and brilliant in equal measure. It will undoubtedly pick up five star reviews, and the only restraint on this review comes from my own refusal to cast off the conventional entertainment gauge: it's hard to imagine anyone enjoying their popcorn when confronted with a naked man with an erection eating Eva Mendes's hair." The trailer has a violent tone to it, a dangerous smoke that lingers, something felt but not always seen. There is an angry potential to it (hence the cat simile). Essentially, it feels like the kind of movie that dares you to see it. Check out the trailer for yourself, and get ready to scratch your head:
Cannes Review: Leos Carax's 'Holy Motors' Is (The Good Kind of) Bat-Shit CrazyCannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 23, 2012 | Comments (1)
Cannes films have a tendency to provoke reaction, with selections chosen for their impact more often than any conventionally commercial appeal, and as a result, responses from those who attend tend to polarize. In that context, it is no surprise that Leos Carax's weird and wonderful Holy Motors was chosen to screen In Competition, judging by the number of walk-outs and the final standing ovation. The film follows Mr. Oscar (Denis Lavant), an inexplicable figure who is driven around Paris in a stretch limousine by his chauffeur Celine (Edith Scob), fulfilling "assignments" around the city. The angle is that Mr. Oscar is an actor, and his assignments are characters, each requiring precise and preposterous costumes as he seeks the ultimate performance, in front of invisible characters for an unknown audience. As the film progresses, Mr. Oscar advances through his list of jobs – an old beggar woman, an assassin, a businessman, a father, a dying old man, a deranged, violent monster who eats flowers and kidnaps supermodels – committing himself entirely to the art of character. We are never afforded an insight to who he really is, how he came to be, or even whether there is any reality in any of the situations at all.

Wow, I'm quite blown away by the volatility of discussion around whether or not paintball sniping actually exists in the sport. I've got more to do than get wrapped up in that drama but here's what I do know. Do it right and you can make the stealthy eliminations that will turn heads and get people asking questions. Here are three critical pieces of the paintball sniper role.
And by stop I really mean, slow down. The number one foul against being a paintball stealth ninja is your speed. Guess what? In measuring the overall frequency of sound, movement and color of the natural environment, the numbers come in at what is called the "alpha" frequency or about 9 to 14 cycles per second. Translate that into your speed and, oddly enough, you need to move at about 9 to 14 seconds per step, from the time one foot leaves the ground to the time it lands. This speed blends optimally with the natural environment. But you can't just stand on the trail, take a step every few seconds and hope to turn invisible. Read on.
Like L'il John says, "Git Lo". And get off. The trail that is. Take 10 steps off the trail and move into a half crouch. Bend your knees and bend at the waist. Your eyes should be about the same level or lower than the chest of your opponents. Just getting your head "off the rail", so to speak, where everyone else is looking will significantly reduce your chances of being spotted. As you approach your target or as necessary, drop to a crawl and keep moving real slow.
When you near your target and as the time comes to take the shot, you'll experience what I like to call an "adrenaline dump". The ol' timer hunters call it buck fever. Your adrenal glands, located on the kidneys, release their load of adrenaline. Your heart rate will increase. Breathing will become heavier. You'll feel like you see and hear more. Some of these things are very helpful. But this chemical dump will also cause you to rush. You'll want to move quicker and take the shot. Wait. Breathe through the process. Slowly in through the nose and out through the mouth. Ask yourself "What do I really need to do to make this work?". And then deliberately and methodically execute your plan.
Let's face it. Paintballs only fly so far. If you want to be a sniper, you're going to need to be in close. Your best friend is your ability to stop, drop and breathe.
Camouflage, Tactics, Stealth Movement and all the other extreme stuff we, as paintball snipers, love at:

Oregon looks at beefing up insurance premium reviews
Sep 11, 2013
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — Oregon health officials are considering whether to use the state's authority to approve or reject health insurance premiums as a tool to drive down health care costs.
The idea is one of several suggestions for improving the health care system that Gov. John Kitzhaber has asked the Oregon Health Policy Board to consider before state lawmakers return to Salem in February.
Kitzhaber wants the board to find ways to expand Oregon's health care reform efforts, which so far have focused primarily on Medicaid patients, so that they cover everyone else.
Oregon already has some of the nation's most aggressive oversight of health insurance premiums for plans sold to individuals and small businesses. Insurance companies seeking to raise their premiums must publicly justify the increase, and the Oregon Insurance Division gets the final say. The state-approved premiums are often lower than the insurer's opening proposal.
A report by the OSPIRG Foundation, which contracts with the state to represent the interests of consumers in the rate-review process, said consumers and small businesses have collectively saved more than $80 million on premiums since 2010.
But the state could do a lot more, Jesse O'Brien, OSPIRG's health care advocate, told the Health Policy Board at a meeting in Portland on Tuesday. Regulators considering insurance premiums should require that insurers meet certain benchmarks associated with lowering health care costs, he said.
"We need to set an expectation across the board that insurance companies are going to be doing what they can to keep costs down," O'Brien said after the meeting. "And that's just not happening right now."
Health insurers say premiums are only one tiny piece of a complex puzzle of variables that influence health care affordability, said Leanne Gassaway, vice president for state affairs America's Health Insurance Plans, an industry group, told board members.
Insurance rate review is based on data about past experience and future expectations for revenue and health care claims. But the federal health care overhaul is upending the health insurance market, making it much more difficult for actuaries to project risk, she said.
Health care costs now account for nearly a fifth of the total U.S. economy. They've historically grown much faster than inflation, wages and the economy as a whole.
At Kitzhaber's urging, state lawmakers voted in 2012 to create coordinated care organizations to manage the medical, mental and dental health care for Medicaid patients. Rather than counting on state funding to pay for all health care costs, CCOs will have to live within a budget that grows at a fixed rate.
Health officials hope the CCOs will find innovative ways of caring for patients at a lower cost without skimping on the quality of care.

NCEH Kids' Page: Laboratory Programs
Did you know that we can tell from your blood if you have had contact with dangerous chemicals?
The lab is where we study blood. Killer cells help to fight infections. NCEH has a machine that can tell us if people have enough killer cells to fight infections. NCEH also has a big machine that is called a mass spectrometer. From even a tiny speck of blood, it can tell us what poisonous environmental chemicals a person has been exposed to. It can also let us know if people are getting enough vitamins and minerals from the food they eat. These clues tell us if people are exposed to toxicants (bad things) in their environment and if they get enough nutrients (good things) to keep them healthy.

This is how my arm looked on the fateful day of November 4, 2011.
Let me explain the GRUESOME details of how all of this took place. I never knew I would be introduced to the worst physical pain that I have ever felt in my life. Everything about this day was normal and regular. Wake up! Got dressed and out to my Help Desk job.
Then the inevitable happens, when I took my hour lunch break and headed to our company gym. Now, here is a little back story!! My whole situation could have been avoided. I was so ecstatic at my results and how strong I was getting and how my body was changing so rapidly. I got a little COCKY! :P YES, I admit it!
Now, the scriptures say pride comes before destruction and that scripture was about to become very REAL to me shortly! So, I figured let me up the weight on all of my Sets and try to Max out at 5 reps. Without the fitness lingo, This means I was going to use as much weight as I could that would allow me to do at least 5 reps. Feeling good and confident I sent a TWEET stating "ME- TIME!" with a picture insert of my gym facility. Kinda Ironic huh? I thought so, too. Stay tuned! The Irony continues!
Then, I started my workout! (Can you feel the suspense!) This was shoulders, Biceps, Triceps Day! (which are my favs) I get through my workout feeling good pushing the weight! Finally, I get to the last set!
Now, I wanna pause here and give a brief disclaimer about how good God is and how he always looks out for us! Before I attempted this set, I heard Him say "That is too much! Bring your weight down!" In my pride and foolishness, I quietly recited the Bodybuilder's Mantra "GO Hard or GO Home!" and proceeded to do the set. (Irony again! I was about to GO HOME!…IN PAIN!) Finally, my last rep of shoulder presses and I proceeded to push the weight. Every muscle in my body twitched to get it up and my arms began to wobble and then, POP!!! The weights went left, my body went right and I was on the floor screaming in agonizing pain with a dislocated shoulder.
So, the end is simple. My personal trainer came to my assistance and I was rushed to the ER to get my shoulder popped back in! Now, after I was back home and resting! I want to share some of the REAL emotions that hit me!
I felt like a failure. I told myself I would never work out again. I told myself I was done! I was really in a slump! Then, I got a call from a good friend of mine. He stated, you should blog about this! I said HUH? WHY? He said people need to know how to deal with SETBACKS! (Thanks, Pastor Jamal)
So, I ask you how do you deal with Setbacks!!!
It is so easy to quit and give up! It is much harder to give the effort to continue on!! Here are a few tips how to deal with setbacks. Although I experienced a physical setback, I believe there are general principles that apply to setbacks overall. Here are a few of them that I applied to my life that week.
- Rest – First, take some time and Rest. Chill out and deal with the emotional, physical, and mental aspects of your setback. Stop deal with the grief of what was lost! God will heal the pain of what you lost. Don't ignore it! With the help of friend, mentors, and leaders, accept what was lost.
- Re-assess – Reassess your goals. Sit down with a Mentor/good Friend to discuss what went wrong. Where you can improve! What you should avoid next time around. Then, set new goals and a new plan to reach them. If you do not, you will only find that you are going in circles and not getting much accomplished.
- Re-enter – Get back in the FIGHT and Get back into the Game!! Although you were knocked down, it doesn't mean that you are out.
You were made to be a CHAMPION! Don't let setbacks convince you that you are not! Now, watch this clip and go WIN! The world is waiting your arriving!

Do I need to fold it back up each time I use it or can I stuff it in the stuff sack without damaging it? I plan on using it everyday for a week or so and stuffing it would be much more convinient..

Former Adventure Medical rep here. As Guy says, stuffing the bivy is fine.

NOT FINE - Just unpacked mine (for a wilderness med demo fortunately) and the plastic/foil interface had separated leaving thin plastic on one side and all the reflective foil on the other. Also tore a bit... Maybe they 'go bad' after a season or two? I was surprised.

KCG Announces Sale Of Urban Financial Group To Investor Group
JERSEY CITY, N.J., July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- KCG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KCG) today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell subsidiary Urban Financial Group (Urban) to an investor group led by Brian Libman. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013 and generate total proceeds of approximately $80 million to KCG representing a combination of cash consideration and retained net assets.
Urban is one of the largest originators of home equity conversion mortgages (HECM), also referred to as reverse mortgages, in the U.S. The company is headquartered in Tulsa, OK and licensed to operate in 43 states and 3 territories. In addition, Urban is an approved issuer under the Government National Mortgage Associate (GNMA) HECM Mortgage-Backed Securities (HMBS) program.
Brian Libman commented, "Urban Financial Group is well-positioned to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities in the promising reverse mortgage originations market. The lender has demonstrated market share gains, operational excellence and solid growth fundamentals. I look forward to working with management to extend Urban's track record of success."
Steve McClellan, CEO of Urban, said: "The Urban management team is looking forward to working with Brian and his investor group. Urban was acquired on the strength of our team and our high level of client service and I am confident that as we work together to invest further in the business, we will be well-positioned to take advantage of the market's current and future opportunities."KCG made the decision to divest Urban after a thorough strategic review resulted in a renewed focus on core market making and agency execution services. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals by GNMA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and the states and territories in which Urban operates.

Tiger Woods says his drought in major golf championships is more a result of execution than lack of confidence.
Woods has gone five years since winning his 14th major title at the 2008 U.S. Open. The world's top-ranked golfer gets his next chance to close in on Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 this week in the British Open at Muirfield in Gullane, Scotland.
"It's just a shot here and there," Woods, 37, said today at a press conference. "It's not much. It could happen on the first day, it could happen on the last day. But it's turning that tide and getting the momentum at the right time or capitalizing on our opportunity. That's what you have to do to win major championships."
Woods is the 9-1 favorite at Muirfield with U.K. bookmaker William Hill Plc, meaning a successful $1 bet returns $9 plus the original stake. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson are the second choices at 18-1.
The most recent of Woods's three Open victories came in 2006, with his joint third-place finish last year his best since.
Woods has been up and down in majors since the U.S. Open victory. He's had eight top-10 finishes in 16 starts, but fallen outside the top-10 in four of the past six. He's also failed to reach weekend play twice and missed four tournaments because of injury.
'Very Good'
"I felt very, very good going into major championships," Woods, who has four wins this season and recaptured the No. 1 world ranking, said. "Even though I haven't won a major championship in five years, I've been there in a bunch of them where I've had chances. I just need to keep putting myself there and eventually I'll get some."
Woods tied for fourth in April's Masters Tournament and tied for 32nd at last month's U.S. Open, where he strained his left elbow and finished 13-over par after failing to break par with rounds of 73, 70, 76 and 74. He then sat out the AT&T National at the end of last month to recover and had been working on his game at home in Florida.
"The elbow feels good," he said. "It's one of the good things of taking the time off to let it heal and get the treatment and therapy on it. The main reason was that coming over here the ground is going to be hard, obviously. And I'm going to need that elbow to be good."

You have been busy
I thought it was time to try to bring a little order to the Essential Software List on the WiKi so I've categorized it!
You have been busy
Thanks AJ !
Very useful.
Orca link doesn't seem to link to anything called orca however
Orca is installed by orca.msi which is part of that SDK.
You have to download the lot to get it.
You don't need to download the entire SDK. I've updated the link so it now points to the Windows 2003 Server R2 Platform SDK Web Install. I've also added a footnote on how to get ORCA.MSI by doing a minimal SDK install.
I also note that the latest version of Orca has the ability to generate it's own GUIDs. Woo hoo! It's finally possible to create an MSI by hand without referring to an online GUID generator and copy/paste!
I just found a link on Aaron Stebner's weblog to a zipped up copy of the latest version of Orca.
You don't know just how geeky that soundsOriginally Posted by ajbritton

text: Infinity Pharma Pulls Plug On Cancer Drug Saridegib Trials, Shares Plunge RELATED NEWS INFI Makes A Mark, IRWD For The Long Haul, MOVENTIG Approved In EU Trade INFI now with 6/18/2012 7:35 AM ET Infinity Pharmaceuticals Inc. (INFI: Quote) announced Monday that it is discontinuing phase II trials of its investigational drug Saridegib, also known as IPI-926, which was being evaluated in chondrosarcoma, a common type of bone cancer, and in myelofibrosis, an incurable malignancy of the bone marrow, based on the trials' interim data. According to the company, Saridegib was similar to placebo in chondrosarcoma, while the clinical activity of the drug candidate observed in patients with myelofibrosis did not satisfy the company's pre-specified criteria for expansion.Earlier in the year, the company halted a phase II trial of Saridegib in pancreatic cancer after an interim analysis showed that the drug candidate would not meet its primary goal of improving overall survival in pancreatic cancer patients. Infinity Pharma noted that it would continue to focus on the ongoing development of IPI-504 (retaspimycin HCl) and IPI-145. IPI-504 is under phase II development for non-small cell lung cancer while IPI-145 is under phase I study in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. The company anticipates reporting results from the two trials in the second half of 2012.Adelene Perkins, president and CEO of Infinity said, " While this news is disappointing, these disappointments are an inherent part of our business in the pursuit of transformative therapies. This is precisely why we have built a portfolio of drug candidates. In addition, we have a strong financial foundation that enables us to advance our ongoing trials to key value inflection points while continuing to invest in our pipeline." INFI has thus far hit a 52-week low of $5.50 and a 52-week high of $14.15. The stock closed Friday's trading at $13.88. In pre-market trading Monday, the stock is down over 20% at $11.

No matter what you do for a living, Class Action raises important questions about the modern American workplace and the truth about equal opportunity. As the book's extraordinary courtroom testimony reveals, the line between dignity and economic survival is finer than you might think. The topics that follow are designed to enhance your reading group's discussion of Lois Jenson's story. We also hope to inspire personal avenues of inquiry as you read this eye-opening work.
When Lois Jenson went to work at Eveleth Mines in 1975, she saw her new job as a lifesaver–a way to bring herself, and her young son, out of minimum-wage poverty. But she soon discovered that the comfortable paychecks came with a dangerous surcharge. The targets of sexual threats, groping, job sabotage, and anonymous notes accompanied by graphic drawings or sex paraphernalia, Lois and the other women endured an ongoing persecution that threatened their sanity, and for some, had serious physical consequences as well. Yet management and the union looked the other way. It didn't matter if the women of Eveleth performed their jobs well, or desperately needed the wages to support their single-parent households: because of their gender, they were considered a threat. The courts had required Eveleth to hire women, but it would take another lawsuit–and years of persistence on the part of Lois and her legal team–before women could work at the mines with less fear.
1. The opening scene says a lot about Lois's personality. The roads are so clogged with snow that her three female colleagues miss their first day of work, yet Lois manages to make it on time and even gives a ride to a miner whose truck has stalled. By the end of the book, what has become of Lois's persevering, energetic spirit?
2. The most common excuse given for the male miners' sexism is that women like Lois take away "men's jobs," asserting that only men deserve or need a good compensation package. How did that notion survive as long as it did, especially with so many single women raising children in the Mesabi Iron Range? Without the 1974 consent decree, would Eveleth have had any incentive to open its hiring to women? Does your workplace have an unspoken distinction between "men's work" and "women's work"?
3. Discuss the worst job you've ever had. What made it so unbearable? What enabled you to leave it? Why did Lois and her co-plaintiffs stay at Eveleth for so many years?
4. The Eveleth men who opposed having female coworkers used sex as the main means of intimidation, ranging from graphic talk, posters, and phallic items, to stalking and threats of rape. What does the sexual nature of the harassment say about the men who perpetrated it?
Why was it particularly traumatic in the isolated setting of the mine? What are some of the more subtle ways in which these sexual tactics manifest themselves in modern society, including the political arena?
5. How do sexual-harassment laws affect your on-the-job interactions? Have you ever encountered a situation that was difficult to interpret as harassment?
6. Early in life, Lois experienced date rape. A few years later, she was abandoned by a fiancé when he learned she was pregnant. On the job, she was seduced by a co-worker who tricked her into thinking he wanted a caring relationship with her. She also had a brief marriage with an alcoholic who lied to her about his financial situation. After her divorce, another co-worker developed a disturbing obsession with Lois, sending her bizarre letters and gifts. Compare the different forms of harm caused by these five men. Do you think it's true that a good man is hard to find?
7. Though Lois was physically exhausted after her first Eveleth days, she enjoyed being free from the mental pressures of her job at the credit union, where tellers' mistakes were paid for out of their own pockets. Discuss the concept of "hard work." How does the miners' stress measure up to that of white-collar workers?
8. Lois defies the stereotype of a miner. She writes poetry, finds solace in self-help books, and exudes femininity when she's not in uniform. Some of her co-workers claimed that she took the harassment too seriously and was too sensitive. Did her personality keep her from getting ahead, or does it prove that she possibly was stronger than some of her tough-talking peers?
9. In the epilogue, Lois's friend Kent says, "A lot of good people's images have been hurt. . . . There were only a select few that treated the women that way but we all got the rap for it." Do men like Kent deserve any of the blame for what happened? Were there consequences for the few men who tried to intervene?
10. At first, Pat won the respect of the union and resisted what she referred to as Lois's "gossip sessions." But once Pat joined the lawsuit, it became clear that she too had been angered by the harassment. Why didn't her union clout give help her improve the women's working conditions? Why would miners such as Joan Hunholz even go so far as to testify in favor of the men? Discuss the fickle dynamic between Lois and her co-plaintiffs.
11. Lois's case was not perceived to be lucrative, making it hard for her to get a lawyer. Did reading about Paul Sprenger change your perception of attorneys? What reforms would have made Lois's lawsuit less costly and less emotionally painful?
12. Do you think it's simply coincidental that a settlement was not reached until a female insurance representative was assigned to negotiate on behalf of Oglebay Norton?
13. In "The Verdicts," Jean Boler says that she thinks the women "would probably have gone through less stress by not speaking out than they did by standing up for what was right." Do you agree? After the experience with special master Judge McNulty, and faced with a primarily male jury, would you have accepted the settlement or gone to trial?
14. What are the chances of the pink-collar ghetto and the glass ceiling becoming relics of the past?

During fiscal 2011, the company completed the acquisitions of Auto-Bake, Maurer-Atmos, Drake and Armor Inox. During fiscal 2012, the company completed the acquisitions of Baker and Stewart. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, sales increased by 40.2% in the third quarter.
- Gross profit in the third quarter increased to $100.4 million from $87.3 million and the gross margin rate decreased from 39.9% to 39.0%. The decline in the gross margin rate reflects a higher mix of sales from the Food Processing Equipment Group and lower margins of recent acquisitions.
- Operating income increased 27.4% in the third quarter to $47.4 million from $37.2 million in the prior year quarter.
- Non-cash expenses during the third quarter of 2012 amounted to $9.3 million, including $2.1 million of depreciation, $4.1 million of intangible amortization and $3.1 million of non-cash share based compensation.
- Provisions for income taxes increased to $11.9 million at a 28.6% effective rate in comparison to $11.8 million at a 33.5% effective rate in the prior year quarter. The third quarter tax provision reflects reduced state tax exposures, a lower effective rate on increased income in lower tax rate foreign jurisdictions and increased deductions related to U.S. manufacturing activities.
- Total debt at the end of the 2012 third quarter amounted to $269.3 million as compared to $317.3 million at the end of 2011. The reduction in debt is net of the funding for acquisition activities of $38.3 million during the first nine months of 2012.
- On August 7, 2012, the company entered into a new five-year $1.0 billion multi-currency senior revolving credit agreement. This facility replaced the company's pre-existing $600 million senior revolving credit facility, which had an original maturity of December 2012. The new facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5%, which is adjusted quarterly based upon the company's leverage ratio. The new facility provides for availability to fund acquisitions and share repurchases so long as the company maintains certain financial ratios.

AT&T's CEO says it's time to get customers to use more of the network
The executive pointed out that AT&T was the first carrier to get rid of unlimited pricing plans, replacing them with shared data plans. Now, 7 out of 10 AT&T customers are using such a plan. Moving to the heart of the matter, Stephenson said that it is not easy trying to get customers to break their habit of buying a new phone every two years. But he said it is worth it because a program like AT&T Next, which offers phones for zero down with monthly installment payments, is a more sustainable way to get smartphones into customers' hands.
Stephenson explained that carriers have built out their networks to increase capacity and have worked hard to get customers to focus on smartphones. Now that traffic is less of an issue, AT&T can start pushing low end models. Turning to AT&T's acquisition of Leap Wireless, the CEO said that AT&T is getting the pre-paid carrier's spectrum and the pre-paid name and business. What is the game plan for AT&T with the purchase of Leap? "You will see us go very aggressively in the prepaid market," said the executive.

You want people to use the network? Bring back unlimited data or give us caps that make on network usage worthwhile, you greedy sons of beaches.
4. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 867; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
The basic gist of all that article is "we're going to milk the crap out of customers with our data plans while at the same time start making money on our retail phone sales".
9. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4109; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Seriously, all carriers need to bring back some form of unlimited data. I love Verizon's coverage, but one thing I'll always miss from T-Mobile was their unlimited data. When I was in a 4G covered area with T-Mobile, I could just do whatever without worrying about it very quickly. Now, I have to monitor my usage because I only have 6 GB of data, which is almost useless because not even a month has passed and I've already taken up 19 GB on Wifi.
10. Dingy_cellar_dweller (Posts: 195; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
Use more of the network is code for pay more for use of the network.
16. tedkord (Posts: 5276; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
You misunderstand. By use more of the network, he means buy higher data caps. Pay more. Oh, and pay full price for your phone, too.
17. Sniggly (Posts: 7182; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Because he totally doesn't expect people to move to cheaper carriers. There's a cost level at which better reception doesn't matter anymore.
19. AstronautJones (Posts: 272; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
T Mo is looking better every day. My contract will be up around time for the upgrade from Note 2 to the Note 4. Might as well switch then
24. tedkord (Posts: 5276; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
And they are clearly nowhere near it, as Sprint continues to shrink and T-Mo continues to be a perpetual fourth place. Of course there is a cost level that people won't cross.
28. mikel45365 (Posts: 10; Member since: 07 Feb 2009)
to be fair, they're virtually giving away talk and text as apart of the deal
2. elaizon (Posts: 3; Member since: 18 Nov 2013)
I agree with sniggly
3. ckoch125 (Posts: 191; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
So plans will actually decrease since the subsidy will no longer be in contracts? Yeah right they will slightly decrease the price so it isn't even noticeable..
5. dspkblympkbl (Posts: 51; Member since: 23 May 2013)
Who is this actually good for? Nobody needs a new phone every six months. That'll just flood the market with tons of second hand devices.
13. Sniggly (Posts: 7182; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Not quite, because when you want to buy the new phone in a yearish, you have to trade in the old phone. If you want to keep the old phone you have to wait till the normal upgrade point.
There are no savings here for consumers. The carriers, including T-Mobile, have not made smartphones cheaper than in the past to own. All they've done is make it more visible to us what our smartphones cost. This is why Project Ara/Phonebloks could be coming in at just the right time, because people are not going to want to have to finance phones like they're freaking cars, if they can simply upgrade parts of the phones instead.
18. troutsy (Posts: 283; Member since: 17 Feb 2012)
There are plenty of people with cracked screens on their iPhones that should be in the market for a new phone.
6. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1009; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
More network means More $$$ because you're asking us to increase our bill with the AT&T Next program. I know that they're trying to get people away from upgrading every 2 years, but there are times where thats a good thing. We dont live in a world where we can just add money to our monthly bill because we want the hottest and/or best selling phones!! I love the Note 3, but Im not adding $35/month to my bill for it!!!
They can keep AT&T Next, Mobile Share, and all of that crap..............and my wife and I will stay with the plan we've had for a couple of years now.
7. E.S.1 (Posts: 294; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
I think this CEO should call T-mobiles CEO John Legere and learn from him.
8. cjjohnson86 (Posts: 29; Member since: 05 Jan 2012)
I'm sticking with Tmo thank you!!!!
11. xtroid2k (Posts: 462; Member since: 11 Jan 2010)
CEO john legere is not an innovative individual. Just a marketing genious. John understand s that getting customers is all about how you position certain concepts.
1. T-Mobile has done away with two year contracts.
- while you no longer have to sign a contract, the carrier still hooks the customer for 24mos with a payment subsidy to your bill
2. The carrier has has done away with ETF
- Yes there are no longer etf's due to contracts being discontinued however more then likely u will have to finish paying off your device on your final bill which depending on how long u have been paying will be. Less as the months go by. VZW and ATT charge a highly reduced price for locking u into a two year contract. They don't tell you that your paying for the device in the higher price tag buy you are. As the months go by your ETF is smaller because more of this supposed cost of the device has been obsorbed by you the customer.
So the one thing I have to give to is unlimited data across multiple countries and that is nothing to stare past. Also they have great CS and a good selection of phones which is why I went with them.
20. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
The funny part is... The remaining cost of the phone is higher than what the etf would be on a contract plan. I'd rather stick with contract plans or buy my phones outright instead.
22. cripton805 (Posts: 997; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Exactly, and with their new finance plans, they actually make money on the phone and on top of that, you end up paying for finance charges.
ETF > Financed or full price phones.
They could have easily kept it just the way it was and just allow you to bring your own phone over without signing a 2 year contract, but they know they will make a lot more money this way.
12. toiletcleaner (Posts: 213; Member since: 10 Oct 2012)
This guy is funny. Better then Jim Carry because he dont use the mask
14. superfans (Posts: 152; Member since: 30 Jul 2012)
Wow.... Took you how long to realize that ?
15. iyngr (Posts: 66; Member since: 14 Jul 2013)
Am done with ATT and their devices. No more unlocks for ATT as people would used to b4. Fu ATT
21. GrndsKeeprWillie (Posts: 14; Member since: 15 Jul 2013)
Umm, where's that $45 plan this CEO is referring to? I might not feel like I leaving Att everyday, if they actually had a plan this cheap.
23. pradeepreddy (Posts: 47; Member since: 01 Apr 2013)
it's the new mobile share value plan, where you bring your own device &
$25 for unl. talk& text + $20 for 300MB data & it's month-month.
25. GrndsKeeprWillie (Posts: 14; Member since: 15 Jul 2013)
Ohh yeah. Just found it on their website. Thanks. I guess I just breezed over it since it's such a conservative plan. I could use it if it included 500mb but 300 is currently too close. Also it seems to be a play on words in the quoted statement above it mentions --
"you can get unlimited talk and text and access to the data network for $45 all-in"
--not completely true
26. frustyak (Posts: 169; Member since: 08 Mar 2010)
Walked into Walmart, got my Straight Talk starter kit, now I'm truly only paying $45 per month for unlimited talk, text, and data. My LTE is throttled after 2.5 GB, but I've never come close to the 2.5 GB mark. Not even close to 0.5 GB.
AT&T, feel free to give me a call when you can match that. No contract. Then we'll talk.
27. scsa852k (Posts: 303; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
the CEO wants customers to use more of their network,
and yet they won't offer the customers unlimited data plan.
That makes a lot of sense.
29. frustyak (Posts: 169; Member since: 08 Mar 2010)
If he want customers to use more of their network, maybe AT&T should disable Wifi on their phones :-)

Euro, global shares gain as Greek deal seen closer
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Richard Hubbard | November 23, 2012 10:21 PM EST
The euro hit a three-week high on Friday after an unexpected rise in German business sentiment for November and on signs of progress in efforts to help Greece secure fresh funding.
Companies in Europe's powerhouse economy have turned slightly more optimistic about the outlook despite the euro zone crisis, breaking a six-month run of worsening sentiment, the Munich-based Ifo think-tank said.
"The unexpected rise in November's German Ifo survey provides some relief, but doesn't alter the big picture of near stagnation in the euro zone's growth engine," said Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Economics.
The euro climbed to $1.2913 following the data and is on track to gain 1.2 percent against the dollar this week.
European equity markets showed less reaction as many investors chose to end one of the best weeks of 2012 so far by booking some of their profits.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index <.FTEU3> edged up 0.1 percent at 1,102.35 points, on course for its best week since May and the second biggest weekly gain of the year.
London's FTSE 100 <.FTSE>, Paris's CAC-40 <.FCHI> and Frankfurt's DAX <.GDAXI> were between flat and 0.2 percent higher. <.EU> <.L>
The gains across European markets were supported by optimism that Greece will get the money needed to avoid bankruptcy when euro zone finance ministers, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank meet again on Monday.
A Greek government official told Reuters the IMF and the European Union have narrowed their differences over the target for Greek debt reduction by 2020.
Agreement on a new debt target and how it can be reached is a key stumbling bock in agreeing the release of 44 billion euros ($57 billion) of funds from the bailout package Greece desperately needs to avoid bankruptcy.
"The market is getting a bit confident that a Greek deal will be struck. This will remove one of the near-term uncertainties in the euro zone," said Paul Robson, currency strategist at RBS.
Greek government bond yields, however, were 5 basis points higher at 16.49 percent, but a relatively small move for the volatile paper and still close to its lowest level since the country's debt was restructured in March.
"It's not the first time we have this type of news. The market knows there is a disagreement," said ING rate strategist Alessandro Giansanti. "Until there is an official statement, detailing what they want to do, especially in terms of a debt restructuring, we're not going to see so much of a reaction."
Ten-year German government bonds, a barometer of investor sentiment on the euro zone crisis were 2 basis points lower at 1.42 percent.
The potential for a Greek deal and signs lawmakers in the United States will eventually agree steps to avoid a fiscal crisis there have been behind a strong rally in share markets around the world this week and have supported commodities.
