Wool Carpet Care Tips
One of the most crucial areas of carpet maintenance is removal of spots and spills. It is of utmost importance to act quickly when anything is dropped or spilled, and always have the necessary cleaning materials at hand. All-Star Chem-Dry servicing Douglasville, GA uses special professional cleaning agents designed for use with your wool carpets.
Frequent vacuuming is a wool carpet's best friend.
- An upright vacuum with a beater bar/brush is the best type for cut pile carpet. A suction-only vacuum may be required for loop pile Berber carpets to prevent excessive fuzzing. Vacuum cleaner dust bag should be emptied when half full.
- Exercise prevention maintenance by placing absorbent mats at the most frequently used entrances to your Douglasville, GA home. Change or launder when these mats become dirty. Filters in your heating and air conditioning systems should be changed regularly.
- Periodically clean traffic lanes and the areas in front of frequently used chairs.
- Keep absorbent cloth or paper towels and cleaning solutions on hand for quick response to spills and accidents.
- DO NOT apply stain repellent treatments which contain any silicone as they tend to accelerate carpet soiling. (Some carpet manufacturers do not accept responsibility for complaints where such treatments have been used.) When having your wool carpet professionally cleaned by All-Star Chem-Dry in Douglasville, GA, ask about our Wool Safe® products.

Larry Anderson
Coming to Tech without a scholarship, Anderson earned one soon and became one of the most feared kick return artists in college football. He made All-America as a senior then signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with whom he set kick return records for two Super Bowl champions (1978-79). "We are tremendously excited about this group of inductees," said Tech Athletic Director Paul Miller. "They are the essence of what Louisiana Tech athletics has stood for down through the years."

James Lansing, 10, who enjoys competition of the body (ice hockey) and mind (chess), travels every week from Portsmouth, R.I., to a location in Boston where he tackles his homework, plays computer games, reads, watches TV, and meets other kids his age.
That place is Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund Clinic, where James receives chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma. He claims that having cancer doesn't make much of a difference in his life. "I still do the same things, only I have a little less energy," the fifth-grader says. "And, my friends are cool with it." An "A" student, he keeps up with his school work while missing one or two days a week for his trips to Boston with his mother.
The ease with which James accepts a difficult situation is a credit to his parents, Michele Lansing, MD, and Navy Captain Sandy Lansing, who have educated him about his illness and care and included him in decision making. His mother is his chief companion and champion, joined whenever possible by her husband and 11-year-old daughter, Laura, who brings along her Nancy Drew mystery books. The family also includes 20-year-old Christopher, a college student.
James's diagnosis evolved slowly, beginning with a suspicious bump on his scalp last October, just above his neck. The family was stationed in Hawaii at the time, explains Michele Lansing, a physician who is currently not working outside the home. "The doctor at our naval clinic thought it might have been a cyst or reactive lymph node," she recalls.
But, once a sample was sent off to a lab for analysis, the results came back Hodgkin's. In a twist of fate, the news of James's cancer arrived on the first anniversary of Lansing's mother's death from metastatic breast cancer at age 62. She reassured her son that the two cases were very different. "Grandma had a Stage 4 cancer and mine is a Stage 2A," he explains with confidence.
During the evolution of James's cancer diagnosis, the family was preparing to move to its next naval assignment: Portsmouth, RI. James's hockey coach recommended Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Care (DF/CHCC), and at last they arrived for a consultation. At Boston Children's Hospital, James underwent several biopsies and had a catheter (Port-A-Cath, known as a "port") installed in his chest to avoid the many needle pricks chemotherapy would require.
Shelly Bernstein, MD, PhD, his oncologist in the Jimmy Fund Clinic, explains that Hodgkin's lymphoma is more common in teens and young adults than in children James's age, but overall the cure rate is excellent: 90 percent. "Also, today's treatments have fewer long-term effects than did Hodgkin's treatments in the past," Bernstein adds.
The Lansings have several tips to offer other pediatric patients and families, including a reflection from Laura on having a brother with cancer. "It's sort of weird," she says. "At first my friend asked if he had a bad haircut. But I say that even though he looks different on the outside, on the inside he's just the same."

text: So.. just got freaked out a bit ago. I was using Zimbra Desktop and all of a sudden I got a red dot with an "!" over it on one of my Zimbra accounts. I quick hit Get Mail and it came back. So I tried logging in to the web client. I was able to login, but it stopped at the "Loading.." screen. I clicked on the standard client and got a generic error that there was something wrong. I then SSH'd into the server and everything seemed cool.. services were running, nothing major in the mailbox log. I was able to login to the admin console. Apparently the backup had fired off and my account was one of the first to go. In older versions, while a backup was in progress, the web client would report that the user was in maintenance mode I thought... Has that changed or is this a bug or am I just crazy? It's all working and cool now, but I didn't get any sort of error on the screen.. just stopped loading. I'm using 5.0.8 NE on a CentOS 5 box.

1. Extent of Corruption
According to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2011, an indicator that measures the "perceived levels of public sector corruption in 183 countries and territories around the world" (n.d), Cuba ranks 61st with a score of 4.2 (1 Dec. 2011). The score is measured on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 10 (very clean) (Transparency International 1 Dec. 2011). The US Department of State indicates in its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2010 that the World Bank's governance indicators identified government corruption in Cuba as a "growing problem" (8 Apr. 2011, 22).
The Cuban attorney general, writing in the Communist Party weekly Granma Internacional (Worldpress.org n.d.), acknowledged that Cuba faces corruption at the administrative level, especially in the business sector (11 Nov. 2011). He is also quoted by the Associated Press (AP) as saying that corruption is "'permanent'" and "'systemic'" (19 Nov. 2011). Several sources also indicate that corruption in Cuba is present at many levels of society (Granma Internacional 11 Nov. 2011; Morales Domínguez 6 July 2010; BBC 19 Nov. 2005), from the self-employed to government officials (ibid.).
1.1 Circumstances Contributing to Corruption
In an article originally published on the website of the Cuban Writers and Artists Union (Unión de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba), Professor Esteban Morales Domínguez, honorary director of the Centre for Studies on the United States at the University of Havana (Agencia EFE 15 Apr. 2010), attributes the existence of the illegal market to Cuba's economy, which has [translation] "large imbalances between supply and demand," stimulating a "counterrevolution" by "hidden leaders" with the capacity to offer alternatives to the state (ibid.). The AP explains that companies wishing to operate in Cuba must get approval from mid-level public servants who, earning an average of US$20 per month, grant contracts without an open bidding process (19 Nov. 2011). Business people consulted by the news agency maintain that "graft" is made possible by the lack of transparency and the fact that decisions go unexplained (AP 19 Nov. 2011).
1.2 Revelations by Wikileaks
El País published several US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks (28 Nov. 2010), which portray, among other things, the type of corruption being practiced in Cuba (22 Jan. 2011). For example, a cable dated 30 March 2007 declares that the justice system in Cuba "is characterized by corruption and subservience to political dictates" (El País 21 Jan. 2011a). In another cable dated 5 June 2006, the Spanish ambassador to Cuba is described as saying that "[c]orruption is needed by all to survive"; and a Czech diplomat is reported to have said that "there are numerous multi-millionaires on the island [and that] he has seen too many signs to think that everyone is living on 20 dollars a month" (ibid. 21 Jan. 2011b). In still another cable dated 26 April 2006, US diplomats indicate that "trickery" in Cuba has become "a way of life" and that the "state system [is] riddled by corruption from top to bottom" (ibid. 21 Jan. 2011c). The cable also indicates that "corruption and thievery have become one and the same" and that "[c]orrupt practices also include bribery, misuse of state resources and accounting shenanigans" (ibid.). The diplomats also describe Cuba as a place where bribery is used to get "good jobs"; "preferential access" to televisions and refrigerators is given to "good revolutionary[ies] and those that can afford" them; "generalized theft and corruption" is rife in the tourism, construction, shipping and food sectors; and police "are famous for taking bribes" (ibid.). The Research Directorate could not find corroborating information among the sources consulted within the time constraints of this Response.
2. Cases of Corruption
According to Miami's El Nuevo Herald, after Raúl Castro took power in 2006, more than 10 [translation] "major scandals" related to corruption have been uncovered and many public servants have been arrested (3 Mar. 2012). Sources report the conviction in 2010 of the vice-president of the state cigar maker Habanos (AP 19 Nov. 2011; The Economist 28 Apr. 2011) for "masterminding graft on a grand scale" (ibid.). The international edition of the Madrid-based newspaper El País also reports on the conviction of management-level employees from the tourist agency Sol y Son and the food company Río Zaza for fraud and bribery (10 June 2011). Both companies had ties to a Chilean businessperson, a close friend of Fidel Castro's, who had earlier been sentenced to 20 years in absentia on corruption charges (10 June 2011).
Sources also report that senior executives from the state telecommunications company ETECSA were detained for corruption involving a project to place a fibre-optic cable underwater to link Cuba to Venezuela (Reuters 10 Aug. 2011; AP 19 Nov. 2011). According to the AP, the cable was supposed to increase Internet speed "3,000-fold," but after its launch date "came and went," the speed reportedly remained the same (ibid.). Reuters also reports the detention of the chief executives of Tecnotex, a military enterprise that controls, along with the Enterprise Management Group (Grupo de Administración Empresarial), up to 40 percent of foreign exchange revenues (14 Dec. 2011). Other cases of corruption have been identified in the nickel industry, civil aviation sector, two ministries, and a provincial government (Reuters 10 Aug. 2011).
Country Reports 2010 also identifies corruption in the police, who search homes and vehicles and then seek bribes instead of imposing fines or arrests; and in the courts, where prosecutors and judges impose reduced sentences in exchange for money (US 8 Apr. 2011, 22).
However, according to several sources, cases of corruption are not usually reported by state media (El Nuevo Herald 23 Jan. 2011; Reuters 10 Aug. 2011; AP 19 Nov. 2011), especially if they involve foreign companies (ibid.). Country Reports 2010 also indicates that although there is access-to-public-information legislation in place, such requests are "routinely rejected" (US 8 Apr. 2011, 23).
3. State Response to Corruption
3.1 Concerns about Corruption
In a 19 November 2005 BBC article, then-Cuban president Fidel Castro is quoted as saying that the country and the revolution could [translation] "'self-destruct'" due to corruption. The article also reports that, at all levels of government, [translation] "many" public servants exchange favours for money, and that, given their monthly salary of US$10, people at lower levels of society are pushed to "'invent'" new ways to make money (BBC 19 Nov. 2005). The Spanish-language Agencia EFE also reports that current-Cuban president Raúl Castro said that internal corruption [translation] "'directly attacks the essence of socialism'" (15 Apr. 2010). The Comptroller General, an office created by Raúl Castro in 2009 to fight against corruption (Agencia EFE 23 Dec. 2011), is also quoted by the AP as saying that corruption "'is the only thing that can bring down the revolution because it destroys our values and morality and it corrodes our institutions'" (19 Nov. 2011).
Morales Domínguez similarly said that corruption poses a greater risk to Cuba than internal dissidents since there is an [translation] "illegal market" of goods and services that benefits everybody but the state (Morales Domínguez 6 July 2010). According to Morales Domínguez, corruption is located at the highest levels of the state in persons with strong personal links inside and outside of the government (ibid.). Country Reports 2010 indicates that Professor Morales Domínguez was expelled from the Communist party after publishing his article (US 8 Apr. 2010, 17).
3.2 State Response
The US Country Reports 2010 indicates that the Cuban government is "highly sensitive to corruption allegations and often conducts anticorruption crackdowns" (8 Apr. 2011, 22). The Economist reports that, two years after becoming president, Raúl Castro began an aggressive campaign of auditing state enterprises that wound up convicting "several" executives (6 May 2011). As mentioned, he also created the Office of the Comptroller General, which he tasked with auditing companies and state institutions (Agencia EFE 23 Dec. 2011). Agencia EFE reports that, in a televised broadcast of the third plenary meeting of the Communist party's Central Committee, President Raúl Castro warned that the government must be [translation] "'implacable'" against corruption and called on the government to "move from words to action" (23 Dec. 2011).
The Economist reports that Castro has been replacing convicted executives with his former army colleagues (6 May 2011). El Nuevo Herald reports that many state enterprises are managed by active or retired army officials in what is considered by many in Cuba the [translation] "olive green mafia" (18 Oct. 2011). The Economist also reports that, following several cases of corruption, the Congress of Cuba approved a reform during its April 2011 session to grant more autonomy to the approximately 3,000 state-owned companies while subjecting them to "thorough audits" (28 Apr. 2011). Additional information on company audits could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response.
As recently as February 2012, Reuters was reporting that the Cuban government has begun screening videos of foreign and Cuban businesspeople confessing to bribery in an effort to "root out corruption practices" (21 Feb. 2012). The screenings are shown to senior staff and members of the Communist party under tight security measures to avoid the videos being leaked to mainstream media or YouTube (Reuters 21 Feb. 2012).
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim for refugee protection.

Oct. 30, 1999
LOS ANGELES - The Washington State University volleyball team played a very competitive match but lost to 17th-ranked USC 15-5, 17-15, 15-11 Saturday night at North Gym.
WSU is 11-10 overall, 5-8 in conference play while USC moves to 15-5 overall, 10-3 in Pac-10 Conference standings.
USC's Janae Henry led the match with 18 kills while Jennifer Pahl had 14 kills. The Cougars were led by senior Joy Sperry's 14 kills and 11 digs.
The first game began very competitively, with numerous rallies before being knotted at five before USC scored 10 straight including seven consecutive points without a Cougar sideout. WSU hit .094 to USC's .400.
Game two was a battle royal with the score tied at six, WSU went on a 6-0 run and gave up only two points before serving for the game at 14-8. A kill by Pahl stopped the Cougs but LaToya Harris got the sideout only to have Kortney Jamtaas commit a service error. USC started it's own 6-0 run with a controversial non-call as their setter, Heidi Munneke, reached over the net to block a set by Wright. WSU had a third attempt at game halted by an Antoinette Polk kill and the Women of Troy tied it at 14 with a kill from Henry. The teams traded sideouts but Henry tallied the 15th point and was stopped with a Sperry kill. Cougars tied it when Pahl's kill went wide but proceeded no further. Johnson hit into the net for the Trojan's 16th point. At USC's second try at game point, Sperry slammed one down. Henry returned the kill and the home-team crimson won the game 17-15 on Henry's effort at the net. In this game, WSU out-hit USC .265 to .230, and out-blocked the decidedly taller Trojans seven to three.
Once again, the Cougars played a highly competitive game, tying it up at five and staying within one at 9-10. USC made another run with a four unanswered points but needed three attempts at game point and gave up two points to the Cougs before claiming in the game at 15-11.
WSU plays it final home contests Friday against Arizona State and Saturday against Arizona.

She is nominated again this year. Her fiery, passionate vocals have created such signature hits as "Independence Day," "Wild Angels," "A Broken Wing," "Blessed" and "This One's for the Girls." These songs, along with hits such as "Concrete Angel," "Love's The Only House" and "God's Will," have become not only memorable musical statements, but resounding social commentaries as well. She has placed nearly 20 singles in the top-10. The multi-platinum country star's 8th studio album, "Timeless," debuted at Number one and was quickly certified platinum.
Wednesday's featured dances include a passionate routine by our very own Edyta Sliwinska and her partner on and off the stage, Alec Mazo. Also, making his second appearance on the "Dancing with the Stars" stage, Val Chmerkovskiy hits the floor with his professional dance troupe, which is currently entertaining audiences at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. The judges will also select one standout couple from Tuesday night to perform an encore of their routine, and Tysonia Sichinga will once again be featured in the "Slim-Fast(r) Dance Challenge" segment of the show. This week Tysonia meets the cast of "Dancing with the Stars" and performs the Paso Dobli on 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA. By evening's end the couple with the lowest score, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes, will be eliminated.

Grant, donations bring EMHS closer to goal
Funding for the construction of new health care facility inSusquehannaCountygot a boost Wednesday with the announcement of a $1 million grant for its construction awarded by the Harry and Jeanette Weinburg Foundation, Inc.
Bob Kelly, a Weinburg Foundation trustee, said Endless Mountains Health Systems first approached the foundation four years ago.
"Their vision and dream at last has become a reality," Kelly said.
Kelly said that the Weinburg Foundation support is limited to the new physician's clinic, and explained the foundation's focus of bringing care to older adults and the medically underserved.
"I'd like to say we took the lead on this project but we were, in fact, followers. If it were for Cabot's support, we wouldn't have been able to join in and support this," Kelly said.
The construction of a new $33 million, 25-bed hospital began earlier this year in the Montrose area. But the Endless Mountains Health Systems, a non-profit health care provider, needed an additional $5.6 million to build the clinic portion of the facility.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. jumpstarted the clinic fundraising effort in March with a $1 million donation and began the "Cabot-EMHS Community Challenge."
Cabot has pledged to match up to $1 million in donations from the community and businesses, netting the clinic building fund a total of $3 million toward its goal.
Because the Weinburg grant was in the works prior to the instituting of the fund drive the donation is not part of the community match.
But another natural gas company did step forward with a donation which is part of the Cabot-EMHS Challenge.
Williams spokesperson Helen Humphreys announced a $100,000 donation from the company in support of the project.
Humphreys spoke of the rising number of patients treated annually by EMHS. "We've only seen the need grow," she said.
"The hospital facility is essential to the growth and development ofSusquehannaCounty. We are thrilled to be a part of it," Humphreys said.
Stark also announced that the Chocolate & Wine Festival held in Montrose last week raised $10,000 for the EMHS building project.
"As part of the challenge, we will be matching it," he said.
EMHS CEO Rex Catlin said that based on the fundraising efforts and the Weinburg grant, the EMHS board authorized the start of construction on the clinic portion of the facility and was "confident enough" with the efforts although the project is not yet fully funded.
"This gave the project is second wind," Catlin said.
In the two months since Cabot issued its community challenge, nearly 70 percent of the $1 million goal has been raised. The community match fund drive continues through July 21.
With the Weinburg grant added to the Cabot-EMHS Community Challenge donations, "a $5.6 million project is almost 80 percent funded that was not funded in January as of the groundbreaking," Stark said.
"That doesn't happen by luck. There are fortunate people in the area who have stepped forward to make it happen," he said.
The Cabot-EMHS Community Match Fund is being administered by the Community Foundation of theEndlessMountains. For more information about the fund, visit www.community-foundation.org.

A group of South Florida investors have purchased one of the Central Florida's most visible retail properties — three waterfront acres that had been the longtime home of the Boat Tree on Interstate 4 south of downtown Orlando.
FCB Participated Holdings LLC recently purchased the property, which includes 24,035 square feet of building space, for $1.5 million. Boat Tree, meanwhile, relocated to a marina in Sanford. Built in 1996, the I-4 property includes a modular-metal retail/warehouse with full visibility from either direction on the highway. The structure is on three paved acres beside an 8-acre private lake. It had sold in 2000 for $2 million.

|Head Coach Emeritus
|41 Years
For Cal, Thornton had a dual-meet record of 231-85 (.731 winning percentage), produced two NCAA team titles and numerous individual champions, including Patrick O'Neil, who won the 200-yard butterfly crown at the 2007 NCAA Championships. Thornton's final team took eighth place at the NCAA Championships last March in Minneapolis, Minn.
Through the years, his Cal squads won 48 individual and relay NCAA championships and 108 Pac-10 individual, relay and diving titles. His 1979-80 and 1980-81 teams also captured Pac-10 team championships.
In 2006-07, Thornton's Bears compiled a 5-3 dual-meet record (2-2 Pac-10) and claimed second place at the Pac-10 Championships. Cal also won three individual conference titles, with O'Neil claiming the 200 fly, junior Dominik Meichtry capturing the 200 freestyle and sophomore David Russell taking the 100 backstroke.
It is a credit to Thornton's recruiting and coaching ability that the Bears have consistently been in a position to compete for the national crown. For more than three decades he cultivated squads that combine some of the top local California talent with national and international blue chippers. Thornton's office is a testimony to his coaching ability with Olympic banners, photos of world record holders, NCAA championship trophies and mementos that span through his long and illustrious career. The veteran coach was honored for all of his accomplishments in May 1995 with his induction into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
Thornton started his Cal career during the 1974-75 season. For 28 of the 33 years he coached the Bears, Thornton's teams finished ranked in the top 10 in the national polls. The veteran coach was named National Coach of the Year twice and was the Pac-10 Coach of the Year four times, most recently in 1999.
A product of San Jose State, Thornton led the Bears to NCAA team titles in 1979 and 1980 and produced a long list of stellar All-Americans. He has an even more impressive collection of Olympians, including world record holder Matt Biondi, Anthony Ervin, who won the gold medal in the 50-meter freestyle at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and Duje Draganja, who took silver in the 50-meter free at the 2004 Athens Olympics. During Thornton's tenure as Cal head coach, 48 Cal athletes represented several countries in the Olympic Games, winning 29 medals, including 14 gold, 10 silver and five bronze. In addition, Milorad Cavic and current Cal sophomore Nathan Adrian, swimmers Thornton coached while still Bears head coach, earned medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, with Cavic earning a silver medal in the 100-meter butterfly and Adrian taking home a gold medal as part of the United States' 400-meter freestyle relay.
On the international level, Thornton has coached numerous United States teams in world competition. In 1979, he coached the U.S. squad in the FINA Cup in Tokyo, Japan, and then in 1981 coached the U.S. team at the World University Games. In the summer of 1983, Thornton was an assistant coach for the United States team at the Pan American Games at Caracas, Venezuela. He served in the same capacity at the 1986 World Championships in Madrid, Spain, and in Perth, Australia, in January, 1997, as well as at the '97 Pan Pacific Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
A past president of the American Swimming Coaches Association, Thornton has served on the ASCA Board of Directors and is a past member of the NCAA Rules Committee. He was also awarded the National Collegiate and Scholastic Award, which is in the International Hall of Fame, for his contributions to swimming as a healthful recreation activity for schools and colleges.
Thornton, 75, graduated from San Jose State in 1956 with a degree in education and earned his master's degree from Stanford. Thornton and his wife, Carla, have three sons, Richard (50) and twins Marc and Gregg (47).

I've had a look at other questions similar to this one but I couldn't find any workable answers.
I've been using the following code to generate unique keys for storing the results of my linq queries to the cache.
string key = ((LambdaExpression)expression).Body.ToString();
foreach (ParameterExpression param in expression.Parameters)
string name = param.Name;
string typeName = param.Type.Name;
key = key.Replace(name + ".", typeName + ".");
return key;
It seems to work fine for simple queries containing integers or booleans but when my query contains nested constant expressions e.g.
// Get all the crops on a farm where the slug matches the given slug.
(x => x.Crops.Any(y => slug == y.Slug) && x.Deleted == false)
The key returned is thus:
(True AndAlso (Farm.Crops.Any(y => (value(OzFarmGuide.Controllers.FarmController+<>c__DisplayClassd).slug == y.Slug)) AndAlso (Farm.Deleted == False)))
As you can see any crop name I pass will give the same key result. Is there a way I can extract the value of the given parameter so that I can differentiate between my queries?
Also converting the
y to say the correct type name would be nice.....

6. & 7. Little White Lies (August 24) and Beloved (August 17)
Directors: Guillaume Canet ("Lies"); Christophe Honoré ("Beloved")
Casts: François Cluzet, Marion Cotillard, Benoît Magimel, Gilles Lellouche and Jean Dujardin ("Lies"); Catherine Deneuve, Chiara Mastroianni, Ludivine Sagnier, Louis Garrel, Paul Schneider, Milos Forman ("Beloved")
Distributor: MPI Media Group ("Lies"); IFC Films ("Beloved")
Why Are They "Must Sees"? French double feature! Each featuring impressive ensemble casts including everyone from Marion Cotillard and Jean Dujardin to Louis Garrel and Catherine Deneuve to Paul Schneider and Milos Forman (!), Guillaume Canet's "Little White Lies" and Christophe Honore's "Beloved" (which have both been out in France for over a year) hope to continue the trend of very successful recent French imports. And both have a lot going for it: The former is a sort of French "Big Chill," while the latter is a romantic musical drama spanning three decades. What better ways to escape the August heat than either/or.
Check out the films' trailers below:
8. Chicken With Plums (August 17)
Director: Marjane Satrapi, Vincent Paronnaud
Cast: Mathieu Amalric, Edouard Baer, Maria de Medeiros, Golshifteh Farahani, Eric Caravaca, Chiara Mastroianni
Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
Why is it a "Must See"? Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud have followed up their extremely acclaimed animated film "Persepolis" by veering into live action territory with "Chicken With Plums." Like "Persepolis," the film is adapted from one of Satrapi's own graphic novels. It follows Satrapi's uncle Nasser Ali (Amalric), a violinist who takes to his bed for eight days with the intention of dying after his prized violin is destroyed by his wife (de Medeiros). As the days go by and Nasser ekes closer to the end, scenes from his past, present and future are shown, revealing the tragic story behind his quest to bring an end to his life.

President Barack Obama names choices for energy, environmental posts
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama announced plans Monday to nominate Ernest Moniz as energy secretary, despite complaints from some environmental groups that he is a vocal proponent of hydraulic fracturing.
The president also tapped Gina McCarthy, a longtime regulator who once worked in the administration of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, to head the Environmental Protection Agency as he presses for action to reduce carbon pollution.
Obama made the selections for his second-term cabinet at a time when the oil and gas industry is wary that overregulation could stymie a renaissance in domestic energy production.
Moniz, a physicist who served at the Energy Department in the Clinton administration, has been director of the MIT Energy Initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Obama said the initiative "brings together prominent thinkers and energy companies to develop the technologies that can lead us to more energy independence and also to new jobs."
"Most importantly, Ernie knows that we can produce more energy and grow our economy while still taking care of our air, our water and our climate," Obama said.
Groups such as Americans Against Fracking and Food and Water Watch criticize the MIT initiative for taking its funding from large energy companies. And they say Moniz's comment that the environmental risks associated with shale energy development are "manageable" make him a "cheerleader" for hydraulic fracturing.
If he's confirmed as energy secretary, hydraulic fracturing might not be on his agenda, but the issue of exporting natural gas will be.
The issue has divided lawmakers and industries. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, and others have encouraged the Energy Department to approve exports to more countries, a position supported by the American Petroleum Institute. But some domestic manufacturers enjoying the low cost of natural gas are concerned that more exports will drive the price higher.
EPA nominee
Inhofe, a senior member of the Environment and Public Works Committee and frequent EPA critic, supported McCarthy four years ago when she was nominated to head the EPA's air and radiation office. He said Monday her nomination proves the president "wants to continue pursuing an aggressive climate agenda at EPA."
Inhofe said McCarthy oversaw some of the EPA's most controversial recent rules. He said he hopes to find common ground with her.
"My priority is to ensure that EPA follows sound science and accurate cost-benefit analysis to ensure government's encroachment into entrepreneurship and American ingenuity is instructed by facts, and not political gamesmanship," he said.
Larry Schweiger, National Wildlife Federation president and CEO, said McCarthy "has proven herself to be fair and pragmatic while determined to carry out her responsibilities under the law."
My priority is to ensure that EPA follows sound science and accurate cost-benefit analysis to ensure government's encroachment into entrepreneurship and American ingenuity is instructed by facts, and not political gamesmanship.''

Dresser Waukesha Engines for Southeast Asia Power Plants
Dresser Waukesha announced that it will supply engines for power generation projects designed and installed by EuroAsiatic, a Jakarta-based engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company. EuroAsiatic provides heat and power solutions and systems for both power generation and cogeneration applications.
The company is specifying a variety of engine models including Dresser Waukesha's new, one-megawatt, high-efficiency APG1000, and the two- and three-megawatt APG2000 and APG3000 units for upcoming projects. The projects, in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, are on-site power generation plants for manufacturing and production facilities serving the chemical, textile, food and beverage and consumer goods sectors.
EuroAsiatic said it has specified Dresser Waukesha engines as core products in its plant designs, which have been well-received because of Waukesha's reputation for efficiency, high uptime and long-term reliability. "There are many opportunities to use Dresser Waukesha gas engine generator sets in industrial applications where our customers see the benefits of decentralized power generation – a degree of energy security, independence and sustainability," said Peter Fries, EuroAsiatic sales manager and administrator for the company's engine business.
"We are delighted to have established a relationship with EuroAsiatic," said Lloyd Beauchamp, vice president of sales for Dresser Waukesha. "They know their market and they have an excellent reputation. The people of EuroAsiatic are very effective in delivering value in their project engineering and design, and in the selection of equipment for their projects. This is an exciting, developing market that is poised to require a lot of equipment to meet the growing need for energy. The region has ample gas supplies, but the demand for electricity has already outpaced the supply available from the grid, which creates an ideal situation for on-site power plants."

He isn't a coach - he...Thank God Miles is out. He isn't a coach - he's one of the boys. BIG difference. I'm not a huge Andy supporter, but I like him. When he fell apart in the AO final, I thought he wouldn't get a slam ever. That was the time to take it. You lose that, and it's in your head forever. I hope I'm wrong, and someone else can right his ship.

It's a shame it's not Corretja, though. He's WAY hotter than Miles, Richie! ;)

So looks Murray will go it alone while Federer, who never really needed a coach some feel, now has Annacone whom though I respect, I have no idea what he's going to do for Fed.

And we thought the WTA had coaching issues.

It is astonishing to me that this summer marks the 75th Anniversary of Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and even more astonishing that the summer I studied at the festival (1972) was 40 years ago.
By the time I reached Lenox, Massachusetts, having just completed my freshman year at M.I.T., Tanglewood was already a venerable institution. So many great conductors and soloists had performed there; so much musical history was made at that great landmark. It was an honor to be selected to study in the vocal music program.
What made the summer so special to me was the remarkable coaching we received (Phyllis Curtin's master classes in vocal technique were the undisputed highlight), singing in the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (directed by the great John Oliver), the easy access to the musicians of the BSO (I lent my collection of Shubert songs to tuba virtuoso Chester Schmitz) and the opportunity to attend all 24 BSO concerts.
It was at Tanglewood that I began to appreciate fully the role of the conductor. Hearing the same group of musicians perform each week with a different conductor illustrated how a maestro affects his orchestra. It wasn't just a matter of tempi and interpretation, it was also the way the orchestra performed for a conductor (or didn't). Seiji Ozawa, James Levine, Colin Davis, William Steinberg and on and on conducted that summer. Each brought something different to the orchestra. And the orchestra sounded different each week.
Our concerts featured Jessye Norman in her American professional debut (singing the Wesendonck Lieder and the Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde), Mahler's Eight Symphony ("Symphony of a Thousand"), and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Choral Fantasy (with Peter Serkin). The repertory was standard but the experience was anything but. We had little rehearsal time and had to learn a great deal of music very quickly. It was my first experience in a professional music environment; this was not a conservatory class but the real world of music; thousands of audience members flocked to every performance. The responsibility was not lost on any of us.
We also performed with student conductors and sang in classes focused on various repertory and languages. Our class on the songs of Schoenberg, Webern and Berg was particularly challenging. I struggled to master my assigned song by Schoenberg ("Tod" which was nearly the tod of me!), to learn my choral music and to prepare arias (by Mozart and Bach) for my master classes while my bunkmate, Fenwick Smith, demonstrated his expertise on the flute. It was clear from the start who was to become the professional musician and who was not!
It was an idyllic place to study music, to attend concerts, to meet artists and to participate in a true artistic community. It made me realize that somehow or other, I wanted to spend my life in this kind of place.
How lucky was I to experience Tanglewood as an 18 year old.
How lucky are we to have this great institution in our nation.
Happy 75th Anniversary Tanglewood!

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi Tom,
We got married only just before my wife's visa ran out, this could be a reason. Also, they were worried a lack of evidence that my wife speas fluent English,we didn't sunbmit any formal English language qualifications as our solicitor had informed us that passing the "Life in the UK" test would be sufficient evidence.
But, in all honesty, we are not sure why she was not awarded the normal spousal visa! We only became aware that this was not normal, when we returned from a holiday in the summer, and the man checking our passports on return into the UK, informed us that it was unusual and would mean it would take my wife longer to get indefinite leave. I then re-contacted my solicitor, who informed me that we had no right od appeal until the end of the descretionary leave to remain visa in December 2014.
I hope that helps you to some extent!!
Also, I am a UK citizen.
We would leave the UK on 5th April 2013,my wife's visa expires 2th Decmber 2014.
Sorry-28th December 2014
Thanks very much
Do you know what the conditions would be for her to get a spouse visa? I am also assuming that even if we were to stay in the UK, we would be unlikely to win an appeal to change the descretionary leave to remain into a spousal visa??
Hi Tom:
Just a couple more things.Thank-you
1.Should we inform anyone that my wife will be leaving the UK?
2. At end of descretionary leave to remain visa in December 2014, would we have a good chanve of converting visa to a spouse visa, as we have been told that we would probably just get another 3 years descretionary leave.
Don't worry-I willmake sure that I rate your answer, you have been extremely helpful

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Reviews
Miracle!Winter was destroying my skin this year so I went into Sephora in search of a new face cream. I had a tiny bit left at home of a couple different kinds, but it was quickly clear that those were not doing the trick. I ended up grabbing a tub of this and I am SO GLAD. Technically, this isn't listed as a face cream. But to me, that just means it was only $28 for 6 oz when a normal face cream generall...read morey costs even more for one ounce. This cream took care of my super dry skin within a day. When I first started using it, I massaged in a thin layer morning and night. By the 2nd morning my skin was no longer severely dry, so I cut back to just a nighttime application. When I first put it on, I do catch just a hint of the eucalyptus scent, but it doesn't last. And that same eucalyptus is very soothing. My skin was so dry it was painful and this cream instantly made it feel better. I've also had less breakouts since I started using this as face cream! It's not marketed for acne prone skin and I have no idea what ingredient is behind it, but it's been a couple weeks and I've noticed a huge difference. It only takes a tiny bit to cover my face each time I use this. I really love that my huge tub is going to last a long time, and this is definitely something I will buy again when I run out! — 3 years, 3 months agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

Pricey little miracle!I was shopping at Sephora the other day and they were handing out samples of this body cream. I had never heard of the brand before and admittedly I don't have sensitive skin or exceptionally dry skin. However, I was impressed. It is a rich and creamy body cream and would work well on elbows, hands, feet and pretty much anywhere. Even though it is fragrance free there is a subtle smell to it but i...read moret isn't unpleasant at all. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is the price point of the product, but considering where I was shopping, what could I expect? :) — 2 years, 8 months agopixie_dust | 492 reviews

The FBI Has Been Using Drones Domestically Since 2006
Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
So about that whole drone debate in the USA…
It seems the feds decided to simply skip over such a quaint notion and deploy them without telling anyone. Back in December of last year, I highlighted a press release from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) about current drone flights in the U.S. They disclosed that:
Today EFF posted several thousand pages of new drone license records and a new map that tracks the location of drone flights across the United States.
These records, received as a result of EFF's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), come from state and local law enforcement agencies, universities and—for the first time—three branches of the U.S. military: the Air Force, Marine Corps, and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
That story was big news to me at the time, and it was particularly disturbing in light of the fact that Congress has cleared the way for the Federal Aviation Administration to allow 30,000 drones in the nation's skies by 2020. Well it appears that the whole drone debate was over before it even began, with the FBI having used drones domestically for at least seven years. From the LA Times:
WASHINGTON – Operating with almost no public notice, the FBI has spent more than $3 million to operate a fleet of small drone aircraft in domestic investigations, according to a report released Thursday by a federal watchdog agency.
The unmanned surveillance planes have helped FBI agents storm barricaded buildings, track criminal suspects and examine crime scenes since 2006, longer than previously known, according to the 35-page inspector general's audit of drones used by the Justice Department.
The FBI unmanned planes weigh less than 55 pounds each and are unarmed, the report said. The FBI declined requests to discuss its drone operations Thursday.
But the auditors determined that the FBI had not addressed the danger of violating privacy rights, and recommended that the deputy attorney general's office consider writing new guidelines to curb improper surveillance by law enforcement drones.
Officials from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told auditors that there was "no need" to write new privacy guidelines, the report said.
Well, ok then!
In addition to buying drones for internal use, the Justice Department has awarded at least $1.2 million to local police departments to purchase small drones, but failed to track how the money was spent, the audit found.
Hey, why not? Police in Dallas just took delivery of a tank for some reason.
Agents wanted more detailed surveillance photos of the house of Martin Luther King Jr. Day bomber Kevin W. Harpham, according to an official familiar with the operation. As the drone flew overhead, video and infrared images of the pine-studded hills around Harpham's property were transmitted to FBI agents using a password-protected law enforcement website called Big Pipe.
The FBI used the videos of footpaths and outbuildings on the rural property to plan the raid that captured Harpham on March 9, 2011.
Oh, the irony. So now the FBI is somehow the protector of Martin Luther King's legacy when they wiretapped him and spied on him while he was alive? Got it. The United States of Hypocrisy.

With the barium and aluminium in the chemtrails, with android tracking, with iphoney fingerprinting, remote downloading of all phone data, x-ray vans, fema feel ups, tsa pat downs, national snooping agencies..... any notion that we are speaking of the land of th efree is beyond ridiculous.
Let us not forget the newly de-mobbed, angry, drug fuelled "veterans" who are used to getting what they want at the barrel of a gun, a nation addicted to pain-killers.....
I was similarly down and out abotu India and the world in general and then I took a train ride.
And it became clear without doubt that all of this non-sense is a city phenomenan. cities, civilization, overcrowding, 24/7 surveillance, policing, claustrophobia.....
All these are ills of civilized society. left to it's own means and humans in their natural environment.....a thing of beauty, this existence, terra, simple folk, the lot.
Simplicity is not a question of one-button data access....
I don't know what is it, but you seem different to me.
The People are waking up.
"to protect and serve"... the Federal Reserve enslaving the entire planet.
Shame on anyone that lets their child become a cop or join the military.
They've been using drones since 1933 ... it's the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that has your knickers in a knot.
How dare you say that shit? Some of us served for the right purposes, despite the fact we may not agree with what our Government does, there is no higher duty than to serve. I grew into a smarter, more intelligent person for my military service. It provided me with the means to get my Bachelor's and then move on to my doctorate program. It took me away from drug addictions that I faced with my upbringing, it took me out of poverty. The military is more than being a tool for political reasons, it's about learning how to keep your life together. Some of our soldiers got abused and discarded.... quite a few, but it's assholes like you who are ashamed of those who served that leave so many of us out in the cold. So go fuck yourself, some of us sacrificed our freedoms for yours.
I plan to treat the drones like smart moviestars do the Paparazzi...and just bore them to death.
I tell you that the great cities rest upon these broad and fertile prairies. Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in this country?.
- William Jennings Bryant
Cities are unsustainable by their very nature, they HAVE to import in order to exist/survive. Those imports come from the countryside.
TPTB have two kinds of "managers," those that manage the containment of folks in the cities and those that manage the lands out in the countryside from which resources are squeezed. It's a continual march to push rural peoples out of their lands: this is THE key battle ground, always has been and always will be.
Nice blog. I love Custer, SD and the surrounding Black Hills. And your Absarokas photo brings back some fond backpacking memories of great sunsets. Nice mix of the economic growth engines, too. Well done!
Thank you for the kind words.

Call it what it is! CONTROL.
That anyone would be surprised at this trajectory is a complete mystery. It's like folks haven't a clue about history and what it teaches us. POWER always leads us here! Hurling divisive labels around only results in everyone looking to poke each other rather than actually attack the problem.

Oh, great! Another "club" to have to sign on to... clubs and groups are perfect handles by which to infiltrate, corrupt and control: Occupy No Street; Tea Time... perfect examples of this in action (names selected to emphasize how they successfully they became marginalized- and now we spend a shit load of energy and time debating not on what they DO or should do, but what they "were meant to do," which does NOTHING, which is EXACTLY what TPTB want).
Labels, no better means of creating diversions for TPTB.
Would it be possible for a population under government drone seige to send up 500-1,000 radio shack type drones and create a cloud of confusion for the enemy?
Not without licenses to purchase equipment from TPTB-controlled Radio Shack(s).
Listen, you're NOT going to "defeat" any of this head-on. The more energy you put into it the less power you have for escape velocity. Besides, fighting TPTB is what THEY want! (it allows them the justification for tighter controls, for squeezing more protection money from us, and, for keeping us from actually applying ourselves toward a REAL "solution")
Use of force is their expertise, not yours. Thats how I generally put it.
Well, speaking of the FBI:
You could be talking about your own kid.
A bunch of major universities have drone trainig programs. My son was actively recruited by a 'fellow math student' to join the program.
He asked if the program came with a Nazi Gestapo officers hat. He liked the little skulls.
Ended the conversation.
Nice job, kid!
Congrats, dad.
It does not need to be a tank.
They are top heavy. I suggest building big fake lures to lead them into a deep hole you have dug with a backhoe and covered up.
It's interesting that in 50 years, Americans have turned against their government twice in a big way. The first time, all the government had to do was exit Vietnam. The second time, I'm not sure what they can do to mollify the malcontents.
Israel and the US were working on drone technologies together. I think Boeing was involved...

Fires eventually extinguish. Be friends with water...

"the paper had more important things to do, such as "cover the turmoil in Syria."
Therefor no coverage of a very important and on-going campaign against our rights and the Constitution.
However, right there on the front page of the NY Times today, there is the extremely important coverage of the N.F.L.'s latest campaign to expand football in Europe.
"Obama allowed Israel complete access to all of Americans' data without legal restrictions in a secret agreement in March 2009"
I wish that people would make their minds up, does Obama HATE or LOVE Israel?
Israel had access LONG before 2009...
Don't confuse something being new to oneself as it being totally new...
http://www.tomflocco.com/fs/HouseHidesIsraeliTelSpying.htm And I'm sure that there's info predating even this: my point was just to point out that this isn't somehow something new which has only been ocurring during the current POTUS (claiming such is great Party Pussy theatrics though).
"And you wonder why this country is spiraling out of control with debt accumulation."
I don't. And I think that people need to quit pretending that they they don't know/understand why.
The easy pickings of "dead meat" are long gone. "Live meat" is on the menu. We're now starting to see what was always the last thing available on the menu- vulture. Vultures feeding on vultures. Only so much consumption possible from a limited menu. World's a finite place, or is this some new revelation for folks?
Well, if we're assigning "home work" then how about you provide a dissertation on how "free market capitalism" can succeed in pushing perpetual growth on a finite planet.

i've always said if it wasn't for 24 there never would have been obama ... black president? cool.
Trying to get people to reconcile this cognitive dissonance is enough to drive one loony... On one hand I've got to slap myself from going nuts, on the other I need to slap all the idiots running around (most wearing ideological blinders and or are Party Pussies).
How many?
How does this compare to all the folks around the globe that we KNOWINGLY bomb, burn and gun down, you know, so we can have "our freedoms?"
How long ago was it that Bill Moyers did "The Secret Government"? 1988? Nineteen-fucking-Eight-Eight! Twenty-Five YEARS ago! And, this was precipitated by actions that had happened years before then. This has all been a festering brew since the CIA was formed (legitimized, 1947; one year later the state of Israel was formed; oh! and to make one's head spin- ex-Nazis we're utilized in all sorts of the US's post WWII defense agencies).
You mean the Elmer Fudd-eral Bureau of Intimidation?
Why am I not surprised?
You guys (gals) suck.
POWER doesn't give a shit about laws and "restrictions," which, to borrow from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, "are more guidelines than actual rules.")
POWER ONLY EXISTS because we use it's systems! This should be pretty fucking obvious in this here piece. We HAVE to have the Internet, which is Their system. The BIG mistake is folks thinking that the Internet, even though they paid for it, is theirs. It's the chains that bind...
People don't know how to survive without the systems that POWER is running. Those whose lives have been made "easy" are NOT going to revolt against those systems: more of peoples' taxes being paid to the spooks while they, the people, are at the very same time "investing" in the data-collection factories such as FB? Wait a minute while I slap the loony feeling from my senses...
Go long on .50 Cal Rifle makers.
So if you travel to the U.S. these days, you'll end up having guns flying over your head controlled by the same people that are eavesdropping on your communications. That's just rude.
Philip Giraldi's take:
A Government Answerable to No Oneby Philip Giraldi, September 26, 2013
The Edward Snowden March 2009 memo which reveals that the National Security Agency (NSA) is illegally spying on American citizens and then passing the raw information it obtains on to Israel is particularly shocking because it demonstrates with documentary evidence just how Washington's inside the beltway crowd places its relationship with Israel above its responsibility to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States. But equally interesting is the tale of the dog that did not bark in the night. The crowds of angry Americans concerned about their loss of privacy gathering in front of the White House failed to materialize because the story, unreported in most of the media, quickly disappeared down the memory hole. The Washington Post placed it on a back page while The New York Times did not report it at all, Managing Editor Dean Baquet calling it a story that was neither "significant" nor "surprising" as determined by his "news judgment." The Times own Public Editor Margaret Sullivan disagreed, however, as did most of the readers' comments on the failure to include it in the paper. Some commenters noted that the Times is frequently inclined to avoid stories that are critical of Israel.
Perhaps the much better reported role of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in pushing for a war against Syria in spite of the overwhelming objections of the American people had something to do with it, the mainstream media being unwilling to excoriate Israel and its friends twice in one week. But to be fair to the Israelis, they are not the villains in the piece even if they did aggressively seek information on Americans, which one should presume to be the case. It was the newly inaugurated President of the United States and the government he headed that took the steps to share its intelligence on Americans. Israel might have requested or even demanded the information but it was up to the White House to say "no."

I saw and all black vehicle same in design as an armored money carried. The markings in white letters simply said, armed surveillance vehicle, do not approach. Tinted windows and could not see in. There were no license plates front or back. I was about 3 miles west of Ohare Airport at a light when it pulled up next to me. I didn't have time to grab my phone and take a picture but I have not seen anything like it. There were gun key holes for shooting out just like armored money vehicle. It was odd and it seemed out of place. Spidey senses going off big time. But hey, I wasn't breaking the law, right???
This is why it pays to keep a Capt. 'Tom Hanks' Miller approved 'sticky bomb' handy at all times.
Whatever drones are doing, good, as long as there's no Republican in the White House, and the approval rating of Republicans in Congress is at 0%. The real camera work is getting done, by Democrat operatives, on the ground.
At least you won't have to worry about drones crashing gay weddings.
Dig, y'all:
The Domestic Security Alliance Council (DSAC) is an American governmental/corporate alliance created at the request of corporations "for an FBI-led organization that would bridge the information divide between America's private and public sectors" in December 2005. The program facilitates information sharing and cooperation between the FBI and over 200 of the largest American companies, which altogether account for over one third of the gross domestic product of the United States. In December 2012, released documents showed that the DSAC and counter-terrorism programs conducted surveillance of non-violent Occupy Wall Street protesters in 2011.
Thanks for presenting this.
Not sure if this is the same organization, but I seem to recall some similar corporate-based one that was going to be engaged in some big exercise (that could possibly be another great opportunity to hide some sort of 9/11 behind).
America's reliance on drones is frightening, what happens if someone inflitrates, sells, hacks the communication/control systems for these things? Suddenly you have your own remote controllled airforce......that would be soooooo much fun!
We do it to ourselves:

David Suzuki: The Autobiography
by David Suzuki
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I found this to be a very interesting book. David Suzuki is in his 70's now and has had a very interesting and varied life. His childhood was interrupted by WW2 and the horrendous experience of being forced into an internment camp. But he managed to get to college and graduate school and begin on the career he had chosen. But life has a way of taking you to where you are supposed to be and he more and more became involved in environmental issues all over the world. This often interfered with family life, and he regrets that to this day. A complete and detailed story of a very unusual and interesting life.
References to this work on external resources.

No descriptions found.
A comprehensive portrait of the visionary environmentalist and writer is a follow up to his original autobiography, Metamorphosis, and discusses such topics as his internment in a World War II Canadian concentration camp, his successes on PBS The Nature of Things, and his hopes for the future.… (more)

I am 62 years old and just recently retired as an administrative assistant working for the U. S. Government for 21 years and 6 months and worked 16 years outside of the government. I made the decision to retire at age 61, to move back to my hometown of Charleston, WV from Northern VA, to spend more time with my children and grandchildren. I was feeling really stressed and decided that life is too short. I thought this out for a full year before retiring and decided to bite the bullet and retire. I do not miss working at all ! I am temporarily living with my son and his family until I purchase a home, which is in the final stages of closing. I have enjoyed my stay with them as I have been able to bond with my 21 month old grandson.
I have had some ups and downs in my life, married and divorced twiced, but overall I have had a great career with the government – lived in Bonn, Germany for three years , working at the Embassy in Bonn.
I can honestily say that when life gives you lemons, you make lemonaide.
I am very graetful, that I have a good pension and making this move was the best decision, as I'm still in fairly good health. I do have hypertension have to watch my blood pressure and am on medication, but with exercising and eating healthy, I look forward to a long and happy retirement. Yes, the economy is bad, but by being positive and making the right choices for yourself, you have the abililty to make your life the way you would like it to be.
I am excited about fixing up my new home and hope to travel some in the near future. Life is Good!!!

Don't do it!
Back in college I used to work at PDI in Ankeny, it's behind Sportsman's Warehouse. It's a cold storage warehouse that delivers almost all of Hy-vee's food to their stores. What I basically did there was ride around on a riding pallet jack, listening to a computerized headset that told me what to pick and put on my pallet. Back in 2004 it paid like 12-15 dollars an hour and it had 3rd shift work. I ended up quitting due to the high gas prices at the time since I found a slightly less paying job but wasn't throwing tons of money into the gas tank. I would check it out, they always seemed to be hiring.
