CaFleureBon Iris in Perfumery "The First Day of Spring" + Vernal Equinox (TEN Iris Perfumes) Draw
Iris, the goddess of the rainbow and harbinger of Spring
Iris the Greek Goddess travels on rainbows and flowers grow where she walks. Iris the goddess acts as a messenger of the gods, linking them with humanity and traveling with the wind through the world, the sea, and the underworld. In some legends she has wings of gold and carries a winged staff and a pitcher. Iris also refers to the eye and the word 'iridescence' is derived from her name. Iris leads the souls of women to the Elysian fields and rainbow-colored flowers appear in her footprints as she travels. She heralds the arrival of Spring. In the language of flowers iris symbolizes eloquence and the colors have different meanings: purple symbolizing wisdom and compliments, the blue is faith and hope, the yellow is passion and the white is purity.
The fleur de lys is not a lilly; but an iris
The three petals of the iris flower symbolize faith, wisdom and valour. It has appeared on the sceptres of pharaohs, on the forehead of sphinxes, on the ancient heraldic arms of Florence, and was the original scepter. As the 'fleur de lys' it was a symbol of French royalty, a name that refers not to the lily but the abundant irises that grew along the river Lis. The ancient heraldic arms of the city of Florence were a red iris on a white shield. In France, the fleur-de-lys became unpopular after the revolution and many of its representations were destroyed. Its presence in North America usually indicates the presence of French settlers. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the fleur-de-lys has become a symbol of community support for the citizens following Hurricane Katrina and is the official symbol of Louisiana.
Iris originated in the Mediterranean extending into Northern Africa and India. As a perfume ingredient the root is harvested and carefully dried for at least three years and up to five. However, it is not the flower of the iris that gives us the delicate floral aroma but the rhizome or root. The species used for their fragrant rhizomes are Iris Florentina, Iris Pallida, and Iris Germanica. The tough and hairy rhizome, which is bitter with an earthy smell when harvested, yields the prized ingredient – orris. Patience and meticulous technique are required to obtain orris butter and the nearly perfect scent of violet. It is then peeled, powdered, dissolved in water and distilled. A good orris powder will have the texture of talcum powder and will be pale in color. Because the starchy root also contains myristic acid, a fatty substance, the result of distillation is a very thick substance sometimes called orris butter or concrete. The large amount of starch and fat mean that yield of the pure scented material is very small, the cost of labor is very high, and since one ton of the rhizome produces just two kilos of essential oil, it is one of the most expensive perfume ingredients in the world (one world renowned fragrance expert claims just one kilo is worth 100,000 euros).
Iris Pallida
The essential oil is sometimes called a "concrete" due to its solid, fatty nature. Further distillation of the butter under vacuum produces a pale yellow or white absolute that is very sweet, delicate, and floral and just a bit woody. Its true beauty and diffusiveness are apparent when it is diluted. Orris butter is sold with various percentages of irones, alpha-irone being the molecule that produces the characteristic odor of violets. The butter may have a very slight fatty note but also has the ethereal floral, woody, slightly berry-like, true orris scent. Orris is long-lasting and often acts as a fixative in perfumes. It blends very well with carrots (think of Olivia Giacobetti's masterful use of carrot in the classic Hermes Hiris perfume), patchouli, oakmoss, ambrette seeds, roses, cedar; Iris is at the heart of many florals and can be quite versatile depending on the perfumer and the other ingredients.
Ras el Hanout
Orris is also used as a flavor and, although bitter, 1 part is perceptible in 100 to 200 million parts of sweetened water and provides a raspberry-like flavor. It is an ingredient in many brands of gin and was once used in Russia to flavor a drink of honey and ginger that was sold in the streets. Orris is used in cooking to make Ras el Hanout, an exotic blend of up to 30 spices used in Middle Eastern cooking. The name means top of the shop and Moroccan spice sellers price themselves on the quality of their spice. Orris root adds a floral fragrance to this spicy mix.
TopTIris Ukiyo-e by Japanese artist Katsushiko Hokusai 1830 (top)
Vincent van Gogh Irises 1889 bottom (bottom)
Theophrastus, Discorides and Pliny appreciated its medicinal qualities. The root has uses both earthy and ethereal. It was used as a snuff to clear the head and as a powerful laxative. When the fresh root is 'bruised with wine' it is effective with dropsy and may also be used as a cosmetic for the removal of freckles. It is diuretic, emetic and cathartic. If given in too large a dose can cause nausea. The powder was used in the past for talcum and face powders, however orris can cause skin sensitization and should be used with caution. Dried rhizomes can be placed in drawers to freshen clothing and linens or as a fixative in potpourri. Orris root was mixed with anise for a perfume in England as early as 1480 and was mentioned in association with Edward IV. Roots may also be turned into beads. Pieces of Verona Orris may be shaped into chewing toys for babies.
Iris, 1982 Robert Mappelthorpe
The sensuality and beauty of iris flowers has inspired many artists including Vincent van Gogh. Joseph Mason, a friend of John James Audubon, painted a precisely detailed Copper Iris to which Audubon added a pair of warblers. Georgia O'Keefe's Black Iris showed the dark beauty (the painting is a metaphor of women's sexuality) and photographer Robert Mappelthorpe included a moody photo of irises in his flower portfolio. Japanese artists used the artist frequently in wood block paintings, often near a zigzag wooden bridge and warriors would wear images of irises and dragonflies stamped into tanned deerskin when going into battle. In fact, Vincent van Gogh may have been inspired by Japanese paintings of irises
Thou art the Iris, fair among the fairest,
Who, armed with golden rod
And winged with the celestial azure, bearest
The message of some God.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, from Iris
Iris/orris may be thought of as a moon plant for digging into the subconscious or it may be useful for divination and dreamwork. However, in its role as a scepter it is also associated with dominion and war. Generally used in love potions for attracting love: if you blow the powder onto clothes, sheets, and other objects you will get love returned from the owner. With rose oil it can be used to cast love spells – put a tiny amount on your finger and touch the object of your desire. A bit of cinnamon will increase the strength of the spell. Spicy and sweetly floral does the deed.
Like the myths and legends surrounding it, the iris plant is full of contradictions. Feminine and passionate, masculine and warlike, bearded and delicate with a fragrant root that is both bitter and ethereally floral. Orris requires patience and diligence to reap its reward but it is oh so worth it.

Banner Elk, NC--The Lees-McRae Women's Soccer Program is kicking off a Win-Win-Win Fundraiser in which your contributions will result in hours of service to the community, funds for the women's program and a chance for you to win a prize yourself.
In an effort to fundraise $4500 for the women's soccer program by February 1, 2008 the players and coaches are selling $10 raffle tickets to buy one hour of community service by the players and allow you the chance to win various prizes and gift certificates. The drawing, to be held on February 1, will award such prizes as an Ipod shuffle, a travel CD player, a three month Netflix subscription and gift certificates from national franchises that can be used anywhere across the country such as Best Buy, Lowe's Hardware, Old Navy, Target, Wal-mart, Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble, JC Penny, Subway, Panera, etc.
With the purchase of a raffle ticket, the Lees-McRae College women's soccer players will commit to completing an hour of community service. Examples of volunteer service include helping with Habitat for Humanity, organizing care packages to a group of soldiers stationed in Iraq, mission trips through various churches, working with homeschooled children in PE clinics, work in the Wildlife-Rehabilitation Clinic on LMC's campus, tutoring sessions for other students on campus, and set-up/take-down for athletic events such as the National Cycling competition and for the NCAA Tournament hosted on LMC's campus.
Your participation in this program will result in a "win" for the community as hours of service are poured into it, a "win" for the women's soccer program as funds are raised allow them to continue to pursue excellence on and off the field, and possibly a "win" in the form of a prize or gift certificate for you!
If you would prefer not to participate in the raffle but would like to support LMC Women's Soccer, donations from a business or personal account (tax-deductible donation) can be written for any amount. We will accept cash or checks made out to Lees-McRae College Women's Soccer. If you have any questions regarding this fundraiser, you can contact Head Coach Renee Lopez at 828-898-8771 or at email@example.com.
Thank you again for your support of the Lady Bobcats.

I wanted a good pocket camera to use when I didn't want or was unable to carry around my G2 and accessories. I decided to go with the 33WR because of it's size, water resistance, image quality, and price. So far I have been very happy with my choice. I no longer worry about my camera when I'm taking shots at a pool or in the rain. It takes great shots outdoors but is definitely not an indoor camera. The flash is low power so you need quite a bit of light if you are shooting indoors (which ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Pentax Optio 33WR
I was looking for a camera as a back-up for my EOS 300D. I wanted a camera which I could use in all conditions and ended almost naturally with the Optio WR which I could pick up for only 150€. At first, I found it an ackward, ugly little thing, but now after only one week, I'm completely in love with it (as is my girlfriend.) The essentials are there: nice picture quality (although it does not compare to my EOS 300D), superb white balance, good exposure. The only thing I would complain about, ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Was great until it went missing. Nice design and practical. Only complaint that it was slow to take pictures-about a second from the time you pressed the shutter button to when it took the pictures. Great documentation and very enjoyable camera. Problems: A bit small for my hands. Missed it so much we had to buy a new one we got the 43wr. Much better CameraView review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I think this is an excellent camera. It has a whole host of useful features - video and still time lapse, video with sound, slideshow, zoom in playback still mode, easy to download images/video to computer and video, memo mode, and the usual camera features such as flash, picture mode, timer, white balance adjustment, etc. I had a great time learning to use the many features of this camera. In my view, there is no comparison, feature-wise, with a normal 35 mm film camera of the same price. ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I had spent many weeks researching when I finally decided on the 33WR. It has almost every feature you could ask for except for full manual controls. It's really easy to use and easy to handle. I don't care for the plastic body. I'm glad to see Pentx is putting out the 43WR, as 3 megapixels is starting be a low end camera. Problems: I only had it a about 2 weeks when it fell off the computer desk with the usb cable plugged in and the the door that covers the I/O ports broke. It no longer ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I have found that this camera is ideal for what it is suposed to be good for - a water resistant go anywhere camera. I do not need to worry about taking it out in wet or coastal conditions and it is even happy being rolled in my kayaks. I am very happy with the photo quality given 3 MP. Problems: usual shutter lag issues for a compact digital camera - would have preferred CF card rather than SD. Battery use is not great.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
A very nice little camera. I got it for the water-resistance and thus the ability to take it anywhere and not worry about a bit of rain, spray, high humidity, sand, etc. Also for the small size, again as a take-with-always camera. Image quality is really very good as compared to other ~3 MP cameras I have seen or used. The fine jpeg mode is finer than at least some; for example Nikon Coolpix SQ only saves 4 bits/pixel in finest mode, while the 33WR saves 5. It is good enough that jpeg ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I bought this camera when it first came out. It is a little solid camera with water resistance capability. It is relatively easy to use with reasonably good results. Indoor flash shots with tungsten light produces better colour balance than the more expensive Canon A80. Macro capabililty is excellent with very good image quality. The overall image quality is not bad (but not excellent either) in most cases, but AF suffers when the environment is relatively dim, say indoor with tungsten light ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Small and low-weight camera for outdoor sports users but... This is my third camera, after 2 nikons. I use it to take pictures during my bike rides, and for it is enough light and small. The buttons are small and impossible tu push with gloves, and the lens are without any cover, so is easy to get fingerprints or other dirtness over it. The image quality is good but not the best for its category. The quality also drop down in internal or low-lighting situations, where the flash not always is ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
This is my fifth digital camera. I bought it specifically to shoot photos from the kayak on whitewater trips. It does a decent job of this. My main complaints are that the image quality could be better and the lens should have a cover to keep water drops off. The camera seems very durable and definitely water proof. I keep it in the mesh pocket of my life jacket.

Trump Wants Oprah To Run For President – "It Would Be A Painful Experience For Her"
US President Donald Trump has suggested that Oprah Winfrey might want to think twice about running against him in 2020, predicting that the campaign "would be a painful experience for her."
Trump brought up the potential 2020 rival at a rally on Saturday night in western Pennsylvania to help GOP congressional candidate Rick Saccone in a special election, where he couldn't help but run through one of the more tantalizing match-ups for his own reelection.
Election Day for the Pennsylvania seat is on Tuesday.
''I would love Oprah to win,'' Trump said, looking to the potential Democratic primary.
''I would love to beat Oprah. I know her weakness. Wouldn't we love to run against Oprah! I would love it. I would love it. That would be a painful experience for her,'' Trump said but did not elaborate on her weakness or why she might find it painful to run.
Winfrey became the source of speculation about run after a powerful speech at the Golden Globes, though she then tamped down the idea.
In an interview with People, she kept alive the possibility of getting a signal from God.
"I went into prayer," she said. "God, if you think I'm supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it.' And I haven't gotten that yet," Winfrey told the magazine.
As The Hill noted, Trump also went after Winfrey after she interviewed voters on CBS '60 Minutes.'
"Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes," Trump tweeted. "The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect."
"Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!" he continued.

In Types we describe some of the most common kinds of bladder weakness people experience and in this section we share professional tips to help with those specific types. However, if you are unsure of what type the person you are caring for has, we do advise that you talk to a healthcare professional, who will usually be able to give a diagnosis from asking a few simple questions.
They'll usually just ask about the history of the bladder weakness, for example whether it is triggered by specific actions such as coughing or sneezing and about any treatments or medications or simply any other medical condition that may be affecting your loved one's bladder. They will probably undertake a brief examination and ask for a urine sample for testing. If practical, they may well ask the patient to keep a diary, recording when they urinate over the course of a week, to help identify patterns or trigger points. In fact it may be helpful to keep a diary a week before the first appointment then you will have all this information immediately to hand. You can download a diary form here.
How you care for someone with incontinence will depend on their level of physical mobility and their mental state. You may be helping someone who is in a reasonably good state of physical and mental health but would appreciate some information and advice, or you may be caring for someone with a severe physical disability such as paralysis, or someone with a mental disorder such as Dementia or Alzheimer's, or someone with both mental and physical disabilities. In this section, we have gathered together advice from healthcare professionals and experienced home carers to cover off the 4 main scenarios of caring for a loved one with incontinence at home. Please select the descriptor which best fits your own situation for practical tips and advice on caring for your loved one.

Survival is an art form of sustaining life, as well as in this respect; you have to become a professional. Naturally, it is not easy to live in the woods if you don't have special abilities. If you went for a camping trip, as an example, to the woods deliberately, you probably carried a knife, a compass, meals, and comfortable clothing. However there are always some moments where you feel in panic, for example, you simply wander off and must live out of your normal strategy, when. How if you do in that situation?
In no instance should you panic, try to practically assess the specific situation and to settle down. And after that, you should attempt to reach your friends or relatives if your cell phone gets the sign. So you will be observed. Moreover, you can holler for help, possibly in the woods, you can find other people. Then come after the following, if this didn't function.
Hunting Food and Water
The fundamental human success variables include water and foods. In case you do possess a sufficient amount of nutrition with you while you wander off in the woods, supplements must be looked for by you.
In the woods, there will be rivers, wetlands, streams and the swamps. As a way to discover a water-source, it is crucial to use animal monitors. You must collect the water should you are unable to locate any. The easiest way would be to receive rainwater. You place a clear page there and can search a tiny depression on the ground. Or you can collect the early hour's dew by the material, which could absorb wetness twisted around a shrub.
The woods is an incredibly advantageous surroundings at which it's possible to find foods of animal and plant source. The proteins in the woods are all sorts of worms, larvae. They could be extracted from an aged stump or stir topsoil. Naturally, these foods are not so nice on the look. However, survival in the woods assumes a decrease of disgust. Viruses or larvae there could be forms that are equally raw and cooked. And additionally, you will find shrooms in the Woods.
Additionally, before-you-go browsing for water and food, you need to collect up firewood, dry lawn, twigs and light a fireplace (for cooking and heat). Preferably, this could be performed with lighters or matches.
You'll be able to endure to the celestial bodies, and darkness will fall directly to the north. As North will be pointed by Northern Celebrity, during the night, you can navigate by the stars. Because that's not necessarily helpful, it is better not to give attention to the divisions. You must proceed to your destination, after making certain the direction. Otherwise, you could wander.
Gear for Survival
You would better prepare a multiple-emergency survival package and bring it when you vacation in the hardwoods. This kind of emergency survival kit usually includes knife edge, sewing needles, creatine (creatine bestellen) and protein: eiwitshakes or link.

Also featured in the 2009 product is an auto-complete suggest capability that displays existing tags when a user wants to add tags to a page.
Developers can build rich Internet applications taking advantage of integration between DekiScript and JavaScript utilizing JEM (JavaScript with Events and Messages) technology. DekiScript is a scripting language for mashing up data from Deki, which serves as a base platform for MindTouch. With JEM, developers can leverage DekiScript and JavaScript technology to build AJAX-based composite applications, mashups, and interactive portals.
JEM also enables visualization of data sources and supports XML literals and better URI string manipulation for building dynamic page links. Dynamic list and map construction is supported as well. The list and map capability enables, for example, listing of customer orders above a certain amount and sales by region.
A plug-in architecture in MindTouch 2009 enables developers to extend the product's front end without affecting the ability to upgrade. Developers can write applications in PHP to add features or services. Metadata management in MindTouch enables access to local data stores. Metadata can be used to aggregate pages or content in the front end or in any external client application using the MindTouch API.
Other features of MindTouch 2009 include:
- Office document editing and write-back without having to save a local copy to a desktop.
- More efficient administration of MindTouch deployments through control panel enhancements.
- Improved editorial control over pages through advanced permissioning. * Updated revision comparison between versions of page content.
MindTouch has been a user of the Mono runtime enabling .Net applications to run on Linux.

Corporate energy management potential remains largely untapped
Automation and control capabilities enabled by energy management systems (EMS) are most frequently focused on facilities heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting, which together account forapproximately 57% of energy consumed in commercial buildings, according to theU.S. Department of Energy. However, a recent Pike Research report finds thatdespite the strong return on investment for EMSdeployments, just 14% of the market potential is being realized.
"With an increasing number of buildings 20years and older that need to become more energy efficient, the addressable market for EMS will continue to grow,"says Pike Research managing director Clint Wheelock. "The EMS penetration gap is largely driven by the fact that vendors are just now beginning to fully apply information technology to the energy management challenge."
Pike Research forecasts that annual EMS revenues inthe U.S.will reach $6.8 billion by 2020. During that period, EMS will become more tightly integrated with legacy building management systems aswell as enterprise IT and networking infrastructure.

Shauna was a pure blessing when she was born May 23,1986. We had been trying to have a baby for 8 years, and finally my miracle baby was here.Shauna was a light of sunshine to everyone especially her eyes, which were such a beautiful green. My only child and we spoiled her and she pretty much had everything she could have wanted. Shauna excelled in basketball and could do a lay up so beautifully, we went to every practice and every game that she had and enjoyed all of it. She has always been my pride and joy. Shauna decided in 9th grade to play golf, again she excelled and lettered in golf for all 4 years. There wasn't a thing that she tried and failed at. After high school Shauna worked as a state inspector with Shamrock towing and decided that wasn't for her. She wanted to join the Coast gaurd but because of her tatoo they told her no, then she went to the Airforce and also the tat was a no. The Army said yes and she was ready to start a new career. Unfortunatly in basic she got foot fractures and was unable to go on with the rest of her platoon and that really made her sad,. She was in rehab for 6 months with her foot problem and finally they tested her and she was able to go on . She finished up AIT in Misouri and then was sent to Alaska to start her career,Her life ended way too soon ..... Shauna passed away on October 15th 2007

Yesterday I all of a sudden had a craving for anything yellow. Maybe inspired by the fresh orange juice and gooseberries at PnP that I felt were going to be really good for my still aching body. It seemed to help instantly as I almost ran out of the house in the evening to do a yoga class, the first since Thursday. When I came back I felt so amazing I drew a little sun on my 30 day challenge board, which admittedly had suffered from a lack of attention due to my lack of attendance.
Yellow, here you go. Facts about yellow thanks to Wikipedia and friends.
Shades of Yellow
These words are synonymous with yellow or represent various shades of the color yellow: banana, cadmium yellow, chartreuse, chiffon, cream, golden, goldenrod, khaki, lemon, mellow yellow, saffron, topaz, yellow ocher.
I would like to argue how khaki made it on this list. In which world does khaki have anything to do with yellow??
Yellow in drawings.
The comic book character Green Lantern was afraid of the colour yellow.
13th episode of the Simpsons was called 'The colour yellow'
Yellow and printed.
Yellow" ("giallo"), in Italy, refers to crime stories, both fictional and real. This association began in about 1930, when the first series of crime novels published in Italy had yellow covers.
The name and concept of "Yellow Pages" came about in 1883, when a printer in Wyoming working on a regular telephone directory ran out of white paper and used yellow paper instead.
Yellow Holidays.
The Christian holiday of Easter is represented by the colors yellow and lavendar because the crocus flower, which is yellow and lavender, blooms in Europe in the spring.
Good luck with that, Easter Bunny! Luckily a crocus can push through the snow.
Yellow Transportation.
In some countries taxicabs are commonly yellow. This practice began in Chicago, where taxi entrepreneur John D. Hertz painted his taxis yellowbased on a University of Chicago study alleging that yellow is the color most easily seen at a distance.
And of course:
Yellow Yoga.
Manipura or Solar Plexus Chakra is representative of vitality and will. When this chakra is open, it acts to empower a person and help them find their personal strength. It will help turn dreams and goals into reality.
Sounds like a plan.
Simply Yellow.
Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colours and instil optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts.
Seems like I finally had a good craving yesterday.

Apparently gorillas have an inherent fear of things that fly.
Just ask King Kong, who was terrified of the airplanes circling the abnormally large ape when he was sitting perched atop the Empire State Building.
Or a gorilla at the Sedwick County Zoo who fled from two treacherous geese.
By the end, the honking almost sounds like the geese got a good laugh out of the timid primate.

MoneyGram Foundation Equips Kosovar and Macedonian Schools with Books
MoneyGram Foundation Equips Kosovar and Macedonian Schools with Books 48,000 students from 800 primary schools to benefit from the program
Prisztina, Kosovo (June 13, 2017) – MoneyGram Foundation in cooperation with Kosova Education Center and Foundation for Education and Cultural Initiatives Step by Step, today announced the launch of a program aimed at improving reading skills of early grade children in Kosovo and Macedonia. Majlinda Kelmendi, the first Kosovar athlete who won a gold medal at the Olympic Games, joined the initiative to support creative storytelling and reading.
The recent results of Macedonian and Kosovar teenagers' reading tests clearly showed the urgent need for improvement in both countries, as those deficiencies can also affect performance of students in other disciplines like science and mathematics. Because some studies have shown children's reading and other educational skills improve more overtime when interventions start at an early age, the MoneyGram Foundation awarded Kosova Education Center with a $65,580 grant to equip first grade classes in Kosovo and Macedonia with sets of reading books.
"I'm excited that for the first time the MoneyGram Foundation awarded a grant to a NGO in our region. What is more, the project has a broad reach as it supports reading skills improvement in two countries. We estimate that 48,000 children and 800 schools in Kosovo and Macedonia will benefit from over 3,700 sets of culturally-relevant books that we are going to print and distribute," said Radu Pojoga, MoneyGram's head of key partnerships, Southern Europe.
The funding provided by the MoneyGram Foundation will enable the Kosova Education Center to select, translate and print sets of 15 books written by local and international authors. Books will be delivered to schools in September – October, 2017 packed in a card board, in shape of a toy-truck. The package will also contain a poster and a guidebook for teachers who will be encouraged to join special workshops with structured activities that can be used during classes. Part of the project is also to monitor the use of books to ensure the fidelity of the program and promote creative storytelling and reading.
"I believe that by providing books to first grade children from Kosovo and Macedonia we will inspire them to travel to the world of their imagination and realize that life is even better when accompanied by a book. After all, 'a classroom without books is like a body without a soul'," said Dukagjin Pupovci, KEC General Director.
The initiative is supported by Majlinda Kelmendi, MoneyGram brand ambassador, who will meet with school children to educate them about the importance of reading and give judo classes. "I've decided to engage in this initiative because I know how important it is to invest in children's future to change their life for better. Improvement of reading skills will enable them to follow their dreams and give them courage to fulfill them," said Majlinda Klemendi.

text: Alright, this is very easy to do, and it makes him look a LOT better. Basically, you unscrew the piece holding the two halves of the back together, gently slide off the head piece, put the clear part back (make sure it's in the same position!) and then you can put the head inbetween the two wheels, like usual. But this time, you can turn it around, so that it's in the place where it should be! However, this means that you'll have to either remove it or put it inside the hood everytime you transform him. Still, I think it's worth it. Oh, you can also remove the doorwings for that added bit of accuracy, but I personally think he looks better with them.

My wife has worked for Wallyworld since 1998, first as an associate then as a department manager for the last two years. She has a great work ethic and is a kind and gentle person, probably too gentle. She helped set up three new stores as they opened in our town because she likes the feeling of enterprise that goes with opening a new store. She did fine at the first three locations, earning several merit pins for good work, but her job has turned sour starting one year ago when she moved to her present location.
Here, she received a coaching for her "mods" not being perfect last year. She was being put under increasing pressure to meet new demands but was rarely given help though she often asked for it. At the same time management started taking away her riser space (above the retail shelf space), her bin space (in back) and she had to share one of very few "telzons" (hand-held wireless computers) with other departments. She was often pulled off her work to help other departments that already had help; she was usually the only one in her own department.
Recently she was given another coaching and a D-day after working very hard trying to keep up with the demands. In the recent SWASS meeting, the store manager openly humiliated her in front of her co-workers by reprimanding her for 11 misplaced or miscounted boxes of shampoo in her mod. She tried to explain that in that department, there are hundreds and hundreds of small items and that she made every effort to finish the mod in the time allowed as she had numerous other duties and "special" projects for other departments.
They are now in the process of demoting her to an associates position. Although she feels poorly treated, she is going along with it because she may have less stress, though lower pay. If management felt that my wife did not have certain attributes demanded of managers (the other supercenter did not have a problem with her work as dept. manager), they should have talked to her in private and explained their position to her instead of reprimanding and humiliating her in front of the whole team!

By Michael S. Goldberger, film critic
Alister Grierson's "Sanctum," a 3D adventure yarn about cave exploration which should first be avoided by claustrophobics, and then by anyone who values their movie time, brought back memories of a kid in my dorm: The Mole. Save for jogging that recollection and some fairly good FX, there is little to recommend this standard survival gambit.
The Mole, on the other hand, was anything but standard. Perennially appearing as if he had just returned from a death-defying escapade in some dank, dark grotto, he was rarely out of costume, his outfit capped by a miner's hat, built-in lantern and all. Where exactly the caves were near our Iowa campus, I never discovered. But I did learn a new word.
Spelunking is the study of caves. Thus The Mole and the two or three lesser gnomes always at his side, though never achieving celebrity or title like their champion, were spelunkers. I assume they accompanied him on his delves. I don't recall ever seeing any of them in a class. Such characters are part of the enriching experience that is college.
Unfortunately, the characters in director Grierson's feature length drop down the rabbit hole can't hold a miner's candle to The Mole. They comprise the typical assemblage of risk taking globetrotters, put before us so that we may guess who, if any, will endure the derring-do about to be perpetrated. The undisputed leader is Richard Roxburgh's Frank.
Only the venue changes for the Franks of this genre. But it's always something life-and-death dangerous. Rarely do you see a film about a famous accountant, admired by his fellow accountants, but estranged from his coming-of-age son and wife. Alas, he left them to handle the suburban home and hearth on their own. The CPA wanderlust called.
And then, to the background of the Tsunami of all tax seasons, sonny boy is tossed into the scenario. Dad's pals try to convince the young man that he just doesn't understand the old man…that he's not such a bad guy at all, but merely driven by the forces of his great number crunching. But the kid, who has super accounting skills despite himself, is angry.
We can only hope that the harrowing mess of 1040 forms they're about to challenge will prove the crucible that makes father and son realize the importance of making peace and bonding. Now, transfer said stereotype to where the stalagmites and stalactites grow, and there you have "Sanctum's" plot. Remember, the stalagmites come up from the floor.
Yet to be more precise, the tale isn't just about perusing caves. Making it even tougher for particularly emotive viewers, Frank and company specialize in mapping the paths of waterways that stream through said caverns. That means scuba gear, bubbles, divers gesturing by hand and lots of talk about the bends. Oy, thinking about it, I can't breathe.
Of course it's no small accomplishment to effect such discomfort. Thus it occurs that a documentary detailing the fine engineering and art direction that went into making "Sanctum" would easily trump this otherwise trite affair. Combining CGI magic with tricks dating back to Edison's Black Maria, technically this is pretty good filmmaking.
Unfortunately, the script by John Garvin and Andrew Wight doesn't rise above the usual boilerplate. There's a special art to the screenplay in close quarters, evidenced best by the biting dialogue so magnificently articulated in Alfred Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" (1944). But then that was the handiwork of no less than Ben Hecht, John Steinbeck and Jo Swerling.
Here, fed the usual fodder and son enmity via Mr. Roxburgh's disappointing dad and Rhys Wakefield's reluctant chip off the old block, our minds tend to wander. Gosh, confined and bored. If only there were some good cave drawings to at least take up the slack. The equally clichéd supporting players do little to assuage the unease and ennui.
Ioan Gruffudd is Carl, the playboy/financial backer/daredevil who arrives on scene with his pretty girlfriend (Alice Parkinson) in tow. Better watch him. To show us exactly what kind of hairpin he is, Carl doesn't just climb down to the expedition's control central, but skydives. More down to earth is George, Frank's right-hand man. Gee, hope he survives.
While we learn a bit more about the holes in our landscape than we knew going in, the filmmakers miss a chance to complement the action with truly intriguing facts. If only they had dug up the Mole. I'm sure he could have shed some informative light on the subject. As it stands, viewers determined to avoid "Sanctum" are advised not to cave.
"Sanctum," rated R, is a Universal Pictures release directed by Alister Grierson and stars Richard Roxburgh, Rhys Wakefield and Ioan Gruffudd. Running time: 109 minutes

The second and final volume of Sterns Musics retrospective of Franco & TPOK Jazz is a fine document of their work during the 1980s. (The first volume, which was reviewed insightfully for Dusted by Richard Miller here, covered 1953-1980.) The late guitarist, singer, composer and bandleader François Luambo Makiadibest known simply as Francoremains an epic figure in African popular music. Referred to as Congo Colossus by his biographer Graeme Ewens, Franco ruled his nations music at a time when Congolese music ruled sub-Saharan Africa. During the heyday of Congolese rumba and soukous, many considered Congolese musicians to be Africas most sophisticated and professional; their reputation was due, in part, to the enormous size of the country (renamed Zaire during the regime of Mobutu Sese Seko and now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), as well as its prolific recording industry. The swirling, layered sound of numerous intertwining guitar lines known as sebene was especially innovative and influential. Franco and TPOK Jazz (Le Tout Pouissant Orchestre Kinshasa Jazz, or The All Powerful Kinshasa Jazz Orchestra) released a staggering amount of recordings: the liner notes to Francophonic estimate 1,250 releases. In short, Franco and TPOK Jazz were at the epicenter of a musical shockwave that swept Africa and continues to make waves two decades later.
Recordings like Francophonic provide a musical soundtrack to the dawn and early days of African national independence, and careful listeners can hear the gradual acceleration of influences and hybridization between disparate musical regions: African, Caribbean (rumba), and American (jazz) elements become so integrated and layered that it becomes nearly impossible to distinguish modern from traditional, or local from cosmopolitan. Welcome to music in the late 20th century. Francos most memorable contribution was as a bandleader, not necessarily as a virtuosic instrumentalist, nor as an especially creative songwriter. Like many bandleaders, part of Francos mystique lies in the ways his personal history and charisma intertwined with his music. The liner notes to Francophonic Vol. 2 by Ken Braun (provided in both English and French) do an admirable job of sketching historical and political contexts for Francos life and career in a sensitive, nuanced wayincluding some especially insightful, albeit brief, comments on Francos lyrics and wordplay. For the context that a retrospective compilation of Francos politically and socially charged music deserves, the quality of the liner notes makes the physical CD package worth having. (Listeners looking for more in-depth information should check out Ewenss biography of Franco, and Bob Whites more recent book Rumba Rules is also highly recommended as a far-reaching meditation on Congolese music.)
There is no way for Francophonic to be representative of the vast body of recordings by Franco & TPOK Jazz, but the thirteen selections in Vol. 2 manage to cover a lot of ground over two and a half hours. The tracks are fairly long, averaging nearly 12 minutes in length, and they convey an important aspect of the bands irresistible appeal: grooves that seem like they can go on forever without ever losing a dynamic forward motion. A mellow duet with Tabu Ley Rochereau named "Suite Lettre No. 1" opens the second disc with a beautiful example of OK Jazzs long, close-harmony vocal linesa signature part of their sound that can be heard throughout both volumes of Francophonic. Most often, though, the singers layer their disarmingly pretty sound on heavier, more dance-friendly grooves like "Nostalgie" and "Coopération," collaborations featuring Sam Mangwana in which Francos voicerelatively rough in its timbre and intonationprovides a contrasting texture.
And that is one of the most seductive, enduring aspects of Franco & TPOK Jazz: their music is filled to the brim with elegant contrasts. The sounds, the tunes and the arrangements are simultaneously dense and sparse, pretty and rough, complex and simple, sentimental and relentless, serious and light. The way these contrasts are made seamless is one of the things that make the sound of Franco & TPOK Jazz such a deep well for fans and musicians and an essential part of a golden age for Congolese music. For example, this collection will make some fans of Crammed Discs Congotronics releases realize the conspicuous influence that Francos guitar-driven rumba and soukous grooves had on the more "tribal/experimental" sounds of Konono No. 1. (Its no accident that Konono No. 1s full nameLOrchestre Folklorique Tout Pouissant Likembe Konono Numero Un de Mingiediincludes the same "all-powerful" distinction first coined by TPOK Jazz.) Just as crucial as the first Francophonic compilation, Vol. 2 should not be overlooked.

Sad times
My fear is that she's afraid and anxious (which she is at the best of times), locked in her body and unable to communicate how she feels. Yesterday she developed a nasty infection, so was given constant oxygen, a course of antibiotics, another drug to bring her heart-rate down, and she was attached to a monitor giving out constant readings. Funny how you stare at a screen even though you have no way of interpreting the data. It doesn't actually tell me the things I really want to know like how she's feeling, is she frightened, can she hear me, will she get better? The only thing I can be relatively sure of are my feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness to help.
|Lily with two of her great-granddaughters less than two weeks ago
I keep telling myself it's the natural rhythm of life and everyone's got to die sometime. It's just that since she came to York to be closer to us about five years ago, whenever I've thought of her dying, I always imagined it to be in her bed at home, feeling secure with the people she loves around her. This is no criticism of the staff at the acute stroke unit, who couldn't have been more kind and caring. Yesterday she had Tristan and Rowan two of her three grandchildren at her bedside, plus Rowan's wife, Nicky and Philip and me. Today Felix is coming from Bristol, and it's at times like these when you really appreciate your family - it's enormously comforting for me to know that Lily's surrounded by people who love her.
The doctor told me last night that if there's no visible signs of improvement by this morning then the plan is to implement the Liverpool Care Pathway. As I understand it, this means that all treatment except palliative care will be discontinued. My mother will be cared for, made comfortable but she will not be given oxygen, drugs, drips etc so that hopefully she will be able to have a peaceful and dignified death. I'm told this is not a one-way street and that if she rallies then therapy can be resumed, but sadly at the moment this doesn't seem likely.
Lily became very ill for the first time five years ago and she moved to York to be closer to us. At the time I'd been asked to submit a shawl to the first Prayer Shawl Companion. I'll end today with the story of Lily's shawl, which is the one published in the book, I only wish it could help her once again through this difficult time.

I sorta hoard glass jars. I know, it's weird. But in one set of recycled jars I keep baking supplies--chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, cocoa, white chocolate, mint chips--which I corral in a small wooden crate that I keep in my pantry. A quick glance lets me know what I'm running low on and no more bags get spilled on the shelves.
Another set of my glass jars are filled with small candles which I move from place to place--sometimes on my mantle, other times on my dining room table. Wherever I need some soft lighting, there go my jars. I use another set to store soup and other leftovers as I try to use plastic sparingly.
|photo by Carina on All About Books
(This clever blogger color-coded her selections according to genre, but you wouldn't have to.) So last month, I wandered through my shelves and stacks and wrote down the names of about thirty books I hadn't read and needed/wanted to. I then cut the paper into strips and folded them and deposited them into one of my many jars.
This weekend I thought of another way to work the Book Jar concept into a writing exercise. Simply create a Writing Jar. In it, place strips of paper with writing prompts. So whenever you're not writing on your work-in-process or need to step away from a current project for a bit, you can pull a strip of paper from the jar and take a dip into un-tread waters.
Writing prompts abound in books on writing or on the Web. I'd recommend Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg, Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott or Escaping Into the Open: The Art of Writing True by Elizabeth Berg. Take these authors' suggestions for writing prompts, write them on slips of paper and drop them into a jar. Then keep the jar near your writing space and select a prompt when you need some inspiration. If you don't have access to writing books, a quick Internet search for 'writing prompts' will give you links like this, this and this.
If you have children who share your passion for writing, make a separate jar for them with age appropriate prompts. Maybe you both write from the same prompt and then compare stories. Set a timer and see what a little pressure causes you to create.
The idea is to limit your reasons for not writing. Keep those creative juices flowing, even when your manuscript stalls. You'll never know what you might find--a new character to add to your WIP, a new scene might emerge or perhaps a short story you can send off to a journal or contest. Just keep writing! And if you need a jar, call me. I'm sure I have an extra one you can use.

Hear Another New Track from Salva
Just a few weeks after sharing "Drop That B" from his upcomingOdd Furniture EP, Frite Nite label boss Salva has shared another one of that record's five tracks. "Rest in 3-Piece" is a relatively unique selection from the Californian's many trap-leaning cuts, as it refocuses his efforts on the heavy-hitting bassline which, throughout the track, drills into the dancefloor like a jackhammer. You can listen to the dancefloor-readied tune before it officially drops tomorrow via Friends of Friends, below.

RECORD: Darwin, C. R. 1862. Penguin ducks. Journal of Horticulture and Cottage Gardener 3 (30 December): 797.
REVISION HISTORY: Transcribed and edited by John van Wyhe 2003-8. RN2
IF any of your readers have kept Penguin Ducks, and will have the kindness to observe one little point, and communicate the result, I should be greatly obliged. On examining the skeleton, I find that certain bones of the leg are longer than in the other breeds. I formerly kept these birds alive, and as far as I dare trust my memory, they could run considerably faster than other Ducks. Is this the case? It would, perhaps, be a good way to test their running powers to call the two kinds, when hungry, from a distance to their food, and see which arrived first.—CHARLES DARWIN, Down, Bromley, Kent.
1 Indian Runner Duck, a breed of domestic duck with a striking upright posture, discussed in Variation 1: 281-6. See Correspondence vol. 10, pp. 628-9.

Sean Penn Wanted Son Hopper's Name to Be 'Steak'
Hopper Penn looks the part as he poses for Interview magazine's "Hollywood's Most Wanted" feature in the June/July 2016 "Young Hollywood" issue.
The 22-year-old actor opened up about parents Sean Penn and Robin Wright and how they came up with the name Hopper.
"It has to do with Dennis Hopper; my dad was friendly with him and idolized him," Hopper said. "My dad wanted to name me Steak, the food, because he loves it so much. But my mom was never going to go for it. What they told me is that I hopped in her stomach, I didn't kick, so they went with that."
Also featured were Lola Bessis, Jacob Lofland, Gayle Rankin, Connor Jessup, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Sonoya Mizuno, Beau Knapp, Malachi Kirby, Julia Garner, Jeremy Allen White, Ella Purnell, Justice Smith, Laura Harrier and Pico Alexander.

WARNING! Lots of venting after the jump! If you would rather not read that then please enjoy this beautiful Rolls Royce Phantom!
So I logged into facebook today to find these two wonderful things.
Now I myself am not gay, however I have several friends who are gay and it pisses me off to no end that some fucking straight white people are on facebook talking about this shit! I have sat by one of my friends as they have cried their eyes out about being disowned by their own families because they just so happen to like someone of the same gender! Yeah black people had to deal with a lot more shit but that doesn't mean that gay people don't have to deal with a good bit of shit as well and a fucking straight white person should not fucking degrade their struggle for acceptance like that. This entire thing is fucking bullshit. I don't care what kind of religion you hide behind! This shit is hurtful and wrong!

E. coli
I know, I know. Why would I choose a potentially deadly bacterium as the Thing of the Year?
First of all, it's not a slight against the other nominees. (Especially you, Aaron!) Second of all, it's not an excuse to run that disgusting image again.
When Gut Check spun off from the main RFT blog this spring, I had no idea what it would become. I've been making it up as I go along. For instance, I expected more blog-only reviews than I've written. (Next year, I promise.)
At any rate, what Gut Check has become, more than anything else, is a place to discuss what we eat and why. And this year no topic has been hotter than the source of our food.
"There's shit in the meat," is the disturbing refrain of Eric Schlosser's groundbreaking Fast Food Nation. While this was literally true more than once in 2007, the phrase is an apt metaphor for our concern about the provenance of our food, whether domestic or imported, processed or "organic."
I don't think it's a coincidence that "locavore," a funny term few of us had even heard twelve months ago, was the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year. Even if you don't subscribe to the 100-mile diet, you have to ask yourself: How much is it worth to me in time and/or money to seek out the better product? How do I even know what the "better" product is?
There are no easy answers. But the events of this year have reminded us how great the stakes are. There's shit in the meat.

Nike nuclear missile batteries once peppered the US throughout the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Of the 300 nearly-identical Nike Missile sites that defended the mainland from the threat of Soviet high-altitude bombers, only one remains in its original form: Site SF-88L in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Nestled deep in the coastal hills of Marin County near the Golden Gate Bridge, this Cold War graveyard was constructed in 1954 and stocked with Nike-Ajax missiles and later re-equipped with larger and more powerful Nike-Hercules missiles in 1959. In 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Nike Missiles were fitted with nuclear warheads.
Site SF-88L is surrounded in barbed wire today, but security was much tighter when it was a functioning military operation. Photographs and even jotted-down notes were strictly prohibited back in the tense Cold War days.
No missile was ever launched from 88L (or any other Nike site) and site 88L was ordered closed by the Army Air Defense Command in 1974.

Turnkey Grid Level Metering Solutions | Grid-Tie & City Gate Metering
At the intersection between regional electrical grids, billions of dollars in electric power changes hands annually. As with any electric power transaction, revenue meters track precisely what is occurring. In fact, these meters take 265 measurements every 1/60 th of a second – 24/7/365. Now that's precise!
Regional operators transfer power between one another when demand exceeds supply, or to fulfill contractual obligations – thereby supporting grid reliability and diversification. Transfer decisions can also be driven by requirements to source power from renewable resources. Similar to regional grids, cities that own their own generation may have their own grid and need to exchange power.
To verify transfers, revenue meters must be independently configured, tested and certified. Ultimately, these meters record exactly how much power is being exchanged, when it occurs, and other power measurement attributes. These data points ensure equitable settlements and support grid management.
Because of Trimark's impartial position, we are uniquely qualified to recognize all interests in a grid-tie agreement, build consensus among stakeholders, and develop an impartial metering solution. Trimark is a trusted, independent expert and service provider that is recognized for our expertise and objectivity by CAISO, MISO, PJM, ERCOT, WECC, Southwest Power Pool and others.
Trimark provides all consulting and technology required to deliver mutually agreeable grid-tie and city gate metering solutions. Trimark designs metering and communication architecture, selects technology, then configures, installs, tests and certifies the solution.

30 Minute – 30 Day – $30 – Keep it Real & Plan for Success Challenge
30 Minute - 30 Day - $30 Plan for Success ChallengeA day by day, step by step approach to developing success habits Sign Up Now
- Are you a small business owner who struggles to balance the planning with the doing?
- Do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to figuring out what you should be doing in your business to meet your goals?
- Would you like to develop systems that support the success of your business for the coming year?
- Would you like to create a marketing plan so that you're not flying by the seat of your pants when it comes to advertising and promotions?
- Are you facing challenges in your business because you don't have a plan?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this challenge is for you. In this challenge, should you choose to accept it, you'll spend 30 minutes a day learning and applying simple techniques and strategies to complete an operations and marketing plan for 2018.
Imagine finally getting over your excuses and creating a business plan that you can use to guide your decisions. What will you do with less stress and more money? It really is just one click and 30 short lessons away.
This is an online challenge delivered through daily emails, website links and a Facebook group full of current and former 30 day challenge members to provide you with support and encouragement as you move through the process.
You move completely at your own pace with your own business and objectives in mind. Your challenge will begin the day after you sign up or on the next Monday if you sign up on a weekend). If you have any questions before you begin, click here to ask!
The Power Principles of Challenge Planning
Habit Principle
It takes 30 days to develop a habit. It's common knowledge that working on our business is just as important as working in our business, but making a habit of setting aside time for planning can be difficult. This challenge sets you up to build 30 minutes of focused planning time into your day.
Productivity Principle
When faced with any large task or series of tasks, you should break the work down into short, timed intervals. This is the simple methodology of the Pomodoro technique. This trains your brain to focus for short periods and helps you stay on top of deadlines.
Accountability Principle
We're more likely to complete tasks if someone else is involved. It's easy to break promises to yourself, it's much harder to break a commitment to someone else. This challenge provides accountability.
Challenge Principle
So often we fail to achieve our goals or fail to follow through with our task because we do not have sufficient guidance or motivation. Challenges like this one set your goals and encourage you to plan a stepped process to achieve your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
In this section, you'll find a few of our frequently asked and anticipated questions about the challenge. If you can't find the answer you're looking for here, please use the contact form or email firstname.lastname@example.com to ask!
What's the layout of the challenge?
When you sign up, you'll be added to a Facebook Group that will provide group support and encouragement throughout the month (and beyond if you choose to stay). This group provides a forum where you can ask questions, share wins and brainstorm with the other challenge members. If you choose not to participate in the group, it's advised that you find an accountability partner to check in with to keep you on track through the challenge.
Starting on January 15th, you will receive an email each day outlining the teaching and task for the day, there may be website links to explore or worksheets to download.
The first week's topics are
- Day 1 – Gather your tools – setting the scene for success
- Day 2 – Asset Assessment Where are you now? What do you have to work with?
- Day 3 – Stating your intentions
- Day 4 – Defining your intentions
- Day 5 – Cheater Vision Boards
- Day 6 – Setting Goals
- Day 7 – Calendar
Do I have to start on January 15th?
No, that's just when I'll begin dripping out the daily challenge emails. If you join later, you'll start on day one and will finish 30 days after you begin.
Do I have to complete the tasks daily?
There are no "have-to" tasks when it comes to this challenge, but it is a good idea to commit to completing the challenge on a daily basis. This is so that spending time working on your business instead of in your business becomes a habit over the next 30 days. But if that doesn't work for you or your business, feel free to refine the timing so it works for you.
Some previous challengers found that completing the tasks every day wasn't possible, so they bulked 2 or 3 challenges together on slower days and didn't stress about it on busier days. It's important when doing this to take breaks between tasks, the reason why is explained in the challenge emails.

CA: Rolling Hunger Strike to Stop Illegal Foreclosures
Get more information at Foreclosure Prevention Zones:
Join us in a chain hunger strike to demand the banksters be held accountable for systematic foreclosure fraud against hundreds of thousands of homeowners. On April 6, 2012, Donna Vieira ended her 16-day hunger strike. Tim Nonn (Occupy Petaluma) is continuing the hunger strike, to protest the lack of prosecution of the banks for foreclosure fraud. Tim began on April 6 and will end his leg of the hunger strike on April 13.
We invite others to participate in the rolling hunger strike by signing up for one or more days. If you are interested in participating, please email Brenda (email@example.com) to be placed on the schedule of hunger strikers.
Join with members of the Occupy Movement by standing in solidarity with the millions of homeowners who have already been foreclosed or are facing foreclosure. The banks have been given a license to steal our homes by the government. We must demand accountability and criminal prosecutions for these massive crimes that are wrecking families' lives and our communities.

Social Security as Life Insurance
'File and Suspend' Is Reversible If Your Situation Changes
Social Security's file-and-suspend rule has become a powerful force for couples to maximize their retirement benefits. But couples and singles might also want to treat the rule like a life-insurance policy that they can turn to if their retirement plans don't work out.
Couples typically use the file-and-suspend strategy as a means of opening up spousal benefits for one member. If Peter and Susan reach full retirement age, 66, at the same time, Peter, who earns the larger wage, can file and suspend his benefits until he's 70....
