Fisher, Joshua B., 1981- (University of Oregon, March , 2010)[more][less]Fisher, Joshua B., 1981- 2010-08-03T22:23:55Z 2010-08-03T22:23:55Z 2010-03 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/10573 xvi, 411 p. : ill., maps. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. This dissertation research takes an ethnographic perspective on competing notions of "fairness" in the first vertically-integrated garment production chain in the world that is certified as fair trade. In sharp contrast to the straightforward images of social justice that are so common on the consumer end of fair trade, the dissertation demonstrates that relations of fair trade production, distribution, and consumption are complicated by ideological disjunctures, by different experiences of work and labor, by unequal access to capital and political opportunity, by asymmetrical power, and ultimately by disparate concepts of economic justice. Organized as a commodity chain analysis, this dissertation is based on sixteen months of multi-sited, ethnographic research in Nicaragua, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), with four separate fair trade organizations: a faith-based NGO from North Carolina called the Center for Sustainable Development, a well-known Michigan-based fair trade retailer called Clean Clothes Organics, and two Nicaraguan producer organizations, including a women's industrial sewing cooperative (The Fair Trade Zone, which is the first worker-owned organization in the world to gain free trade zone customs certification), and an industrial cotton spinning plant called Genesis. The research shows that, from the standpoint of production and distribution, conflicts frequently emerge over the terms, conditions, and meanings of labor, business contracts, extra-contractual relations, participation in decision-making, and the definition of roles. Producers, moreover, often have no alternative but to accept the terms of more powerful groups under duress of poverty. Theoretically speaking, this dissertation contributes to an understanding of alternative economic formations, including fair trade and cooperatives. In this vein, I argue that the idea of fair trade as an "alternative" to conventional trade is a problematic rhetorical move that tends to obscure the fact that all aspects of trade--production, distribution, and consumption--are not only inherently political, they are also riven with the complications of mediating between disparate cultural meanings, social positionalities, and political, economic, and social inequality. I recommend revisioning the relationship between the economy, the state, and various spheres of society in light of the insights of substantivist economics, feminist political economy, and ethnography.

Spectacular garnishes will make this dessert even more irresistible. Try lime slices or another green fruit, such as kiwi.
Freshly squeezed lime juice is truly worth the effort! Purchased lime juice just doesn't enhance the fresh berry flavor as well.
When you've no time for baking your own pie crust, a purchased or made-at-home graham cracker crust works just as well.

Preserving resources by minimizing their environmental impact, improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, and adopting new environmental friendly technology will be the trends in the future for robot manufacturers. On the other hand, robots take part in producing environmental friendly products.
Adept, Germany - IFR-Partner
Achieve Packaging Sustainability with Flexible Automation
Preserve, Protect, Prosper- Achieve Packaging Sustainability with Flexible Automation
Packaging sustainability is the ultimate goal of packagers. The challenge is to balance economic prosperity with environmental and social responsibility. Preserving resources by minimizing their environmental impact, reducing energy consumption, and scrap and adopting new environmental friendly packaging will be the trends manufacturers will be following. Additionally packagers need to ensure that its products and employees are protected by improving processes to minimize contamination, tampering & injuries. Finally, coupled with these challenges packagers must ensure their company's continued prosperity by maximizing their production efficiency. In short manufacturers and packagers alike must work to preserve, protect and prosper to achieve packaging sustainability. This paper will detail the role that flexible automation will take in accomplishing this challenging balancing act.
Flexible automation is a powerful and effective solution for packagers to achieve packaging sustainability. Automation allows packagers to increase production, consistency, and reliability while improving working conditions and allowing manufacturers to quickly change to more eco friendly packaging materials and options. Following is a look at what is driving this movement and how flexible automation can address these issues.
Packaging, when tallied up, accounts for almost a third of trash thrown away in the United States. According to the EPA, paper, cardboard and plastics, most of which involves packaging in some form, constitutes 46% of all worldwide municipal solid waste.
It is a necessity to protect product from contamination, spoilage, damage, and tampering however it has a significant detrimental environmental impact. Packagers in 2009 and beyond must review how products are packaged, and how it affects the environment. The solution for packagers is to produce less, which means reducing the quantity of materials and other resources used in packaging. Packagers are investing in new packaging that weighs less, is smaller, uses recycled material and incorporates renewable resources whenever possible. Adopting this policy they will reduce waste, save on energy costs with lower shipping weights, cut production costs and offset price increases.
New formats such as concentrated forms of detergents requiring smaller packages, eliminating secondary packaging, and replacing rigid packaging with flexible packaging are necessary for packagers to address the preservation issue. Wal-Mart has even instituted guidelines for its suppliers that requires strict adherence to environmentally savvy packaging. According to the EPA Wal-Mart anticipates that with this program in place they will reduce packaging of a toy line significantly enough to save 3,800 trees, 1,000 barrels of oil and $2.4 million in transportation costs in one year. Many manufacturers are redesigning product packaging to be "smarter". So clearly this trend is growing.
How can automation affect these trends? Flexible automation can deliver a process that preserves the earth's natural resources. It leads to the reduction in scrap products and wasted materials, allows for quick and easy changeover to environmentally conscious and innovative packaging materials, gives manufacturers the flexibility to handle less rigid, light weight packaging and allows manufacturers to optimize space and time.
Packagers will need to take a hard look reducing scrap and wasted materials if they wish to remain competitive. Robotics and automation in general is a much more efficient and reliable method of handling and packaging products. It is consistent every time and therefore produces less scrap and wasted materials due to handling errors. Automated handling far exceeds in reliability over manual handling every time thereby innately will reduce on scrap.
The easiest and quickest way to change from one format to another to adapt to all the new environmentally conscious packages coming on the market will be automation that is flexible and adaptable to rapid changeover. Fixed machines and manual handling simply cannot keep up. Robots with various end of arm tooling capabilities can easily adapt to various changes.
In order to minimize a packager's environmental footprint they must maximize the use or their space and time. Flexible automation with its various configuration potentials (ceiling mounted robots, multiple EOAT etc.) allows manufacturers to produce more quickly and from the amount of space they are currently using.
According to the Centre for Disease and Control and Prevention, approximately 70% of all food borne disease is due to viruses spread by direct or indirect contact with infected individuals. Every year, approximately 40,000 cases of salmonellosis are reported in the United States and about 600 people die of it, according to the CDC. The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also reports that as many as 76 million illnesses are caused by food contamination every year in the US. Add in the effect of product tampering (consider the Tylenol poisonings in the '80s) and the statistics from OSHA that estimates that repetitive strain injuries account for 60 percent of all "workplace illnesses" packagers and manufacturers have to seriously review any and all methods of keeping their employees and products safe.
Flexible automation can address most of the issues involving contamination, injury and tampering by virtue of its ability to reduce human contact on products being manufactured and packaged.
Tedious tasks such as picking and placing products into packaging are ripe for repetitive stress disorders. Automation can accomplish these tasks faster and more efficiently thereby protecting employees and at the same time saving manufacturers costly medical compensation.
There is no doubt that humans are innately carriers of disease. The less contact employees have with products particularly consumable products the better. Not only is this safer for the consumer it saves the manufacturers and packagers the exorbitant cost of product recalls let alone the costs to a company's reputation. Automating contact with products will naturally help reduce the human contact equation and reduce incidents of contamination. Less human contact also reduces the probability of product tampering.
Manufacturers can address the issues of preservation and protection but ultimately they have to balance this with their economic prosperity. Whether the economy is good or uncertain, companies must maximize their packaging efficiency to ensure economic growth. To combat the rising costs of manufacturing a careful analysis of how a company is using the factory space it currently occupies more effectively is essential.
Optimizing the use of valuable floor space currently available to a company is the most efficient method of protecting profitability. It is a cornerstone behind the concept of lean manufacturing. Simply put the more you can produce in the same amount of space the more profitable you will be.
As Labor rates continue to rise and product packaging diversity multiplies within the wake of new eco-friendly packaging manufacturers will need to find ways to increase production without increasing employees. Increasing production with the same number of employees coupled with the fact that the makeup of potential employees is trending towards more educated resource pool means packagers will need to automate to produce more with what they currently have.
Flexible automation gives packagers and manufacturers the ability to increase production and flexibility. Robot costs are declining while labor is climbing. With the ability of automation to deliver unmatched reliability and consistency at a faster production rate than manual labor packagers will be best advised to adopt this method.
Parallel Robots package products significantly faster than previous robot models
Automation has advanced significantly with regards to speed and reliability. Back in the 90's with a vision guided SCARA robot for example we were packaging chocolates at 47 pieces per minute and that was unbelievably fast. Now with for example a parallel robot we can accomplish that same task at 130 pieces per minute and the cost of the robots themselves has dropped fairly significantly. So we're at nearly 2 ½ or 3 times the productivity for less money. Manufacturers and Packagers alike can now produce more, at less cost.
Change is inevitable and as requirements for shorter runs and faster cycle times increase packagers will be introducing new products and packaging at a much accelerated speed. Automation allows manufacturers to easily and quickly change to accommodate new products and packages of varying sizes, shapes and materials. The ability to change end of arm tooling also increases the lifetime usefulness of packagers' capital equipment.

Sabres 2 Leafs 1: Strong Showing
September 23 2011 08:01PM
The Leafs lost 2-1 tonight but I think that we saw some great performances up and down the Leafs lineup. The Sabres got on the board first when Dion Phaneuf passed into Keith Aulie's skates and Corey Tropp buried the resulting turnover. John Michael Liles had a beautiful rush which led to Phil Kessel muscling a defender off and banging in the rebound to tie the game in the second before a Kaleta dive gave the Sabres a power play. Phaneuf blocked a shot and his stick broke and that was all she wrote. Follow me over the jump for some thoughts on the game.
- Nazem Kadri was everywhere tonight. He tried some moves that didn't work and he'll need to rein it in a little in his own zone but he was buzzing on every shift including a number of amazing moves with the puck. He's making a strong case to be included on this team on merit.
- Matt Frattin showed some decent speed tonight, he looked much faster to me than he has previously.
- Despite the NHL Network's insistence the Sabres actually iced the more experienced lineup tonight.
- Shocking: Derek Roy got hurt.
- I can't believe referees still call players for Patrick Kaleta's patented "grab on and fall down" dive.
- There are three defenders fighting for two spots: Franson, Gunnarsson and Aulie.
- Franson had a steady game tonight including an excellent PK .
- Gunnarsson wasn't noticeable and for a shut down d-man that's a good thing.
- Aulie was up and down. He had a couple bad turnovers and took a penalty because of one of them but he got back and broke up a breakaway later in the game.
- Liles joins the play and brings a ton of offense to the table. We're going to love this guy if he plays like this all season.
- Jake Gardiner had another fantastic night. As @blurr1974 suggested on twitter: guys like Frattin and Gardiner are going to make dealing vets at the trade deadline an easy decision.
- Loved the Kessel - Connolly pair tonight. Joffrey Lupul looks like a dead weight on that line though.
- Miller's going to get credit for a "nice save" but Lupul got two shots off standing in the crease with an open net. His first attempt was 90 degrees away from the goal and Miller gave it back to him. Lupul put it into his glove.
- The Grabovski line did what they do: controlled possession and drove play in the right direction.
- Colton Orr is still a dead weight on this team. He took a useless interference penalty early in the game and fought no one. His presence didn't stop Buffalo from boarding Jake Gardiner twice. Weird.
- Finally, one bad pass aside I think Phaneuf had a solid game. I liked what I saw from him tonight.
The Sabres are where they've been for years: a team that will live and die with Ryan Miller. A younger, less experienced Leafs squad outshot them 15-4 in the second period tonight. Tonight's a good omen for a young Leafs team.
September 23 2011, 11:03PM
Good recap. Think it's bang on. Aulie back on the Marlies isn't the end of the world. He's still so young.
@Pension Plan Puppets
I have zero statistical basis for thinking this, but whatever. I've often thought that defensive d-men take longer to reach their full potential. From a purely developmental point of view I'd like to see Gardiner in the lineup over Aulie, as I see his game being more suited to development and refinement at the NHL level. Keith will be a gem, I agree, no need to rush.
Also wow skating wow.
September 24 2011, 11:36AM
The guy is an incredible skater. I agree that giving Aulie more time isn't the end of the world. Defencemen take longer to develop. I'd keep Gardiner down too. Give him a lot of minutes on the Marlies.
September 24 2011, 12:41PM
I actually wouldn't mind seeing Gardiner AND Aulie in the AHL this year -- not because they haven't impressed, but because I think it would be good to see them playing (and developing) together while giving some vets an opportunity to raise their trade stock.
If we're not making a run at the cup this year, why not let the youth play on a dominant AHL team, build a winning tradition and break them all into the NHL next year

CINCINNATI -- There was something about Jerry Brown that struck Jason Garrett.
If it wasn't passion that he brought to work as a member of the Dallas Cowboys practice squad, then surely it was the fact that he stole the coach's thunder.
MORE: Emotional Cowboys rally to win game dedicated to Brown
Garrett routinely roams the hallways, meeting rooms and practice fields at the Cowboys headquarters, and you can set the clock by his standard greeting to players, coaches and team staffers: How we doing, guys?
"Jerry always beat me to the punch," Garrett reflected. "He'd always say, 'How you doing, coach?' before I could get it out."
Garrett shared his impressions following a 20-19 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals that was dedicated to the linebacker who died in the alcohol-related, single-car accident on Saturday morning in Irving, Texas that resulted in intoxication manslaughter charges against defensive tackle Josh Brent.
Brown, who was 25, was signed to the practice squad on Oct. 25.
"He was here for one day and we said, 'That's going to be Scout Team Player of the Week,' Garrett said. "He gave (tackles) Tyron Smith, Doug Free and Jermey Parnell everything they could handle.
"He loved the game. He loved being part of our team and he showed it every day. My memory is a big, strapping guy with this bright smile on his face, bright eyes and a bounce in his step, every time."
COWBOYS: Texas agency to investigate where Brent drank
Garrett also recalled Brent's reaction the day that Brown was signed. Brent and Brown were teammates and roommates at Illinois, then lived together after Brown came to Dallas.
"Josh was jumping up and down, 'That's my boy! That's my boy! You've got to bring my boy in here. My boy can play,' " Garrett said. "He told everybody that."
Now Brent, released Sunday on a $500,000 bond, is undoubtedly carrying more grief than any of the Cowboys, apparently responsible for the loss of a close friend.
MORE: Cowboys mull device to immobilize players' cars
Garrett said the team will not abandon Brent.
"Obviously, he's going through as difficult a time as anybody," Garrett said. "We just have to be there for him. Everywhere he turns, he has to feel support. Every resource that we have with the Dallas Cowboys, he needs to know that we're there for him, trying to help him get through this. It's a difficult time. We have to take it day by day. He'll never forget this. None of us will. We have help him get through it."
The Cowboys will attend a private memorial service in the Dallas area on Tuesday for Brown. Garrett awarded Brown a game ball for Sunday's contest, then after the game called his mother, Stacey Jackson, and told her of the gesture.
"They were really strong for Jerry Brown," Garrett said of his team. "I think everybody was really, really heartbroken and will continue to be heartbroken. This young man had everything ahead of him."
One day after Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown died in a one-car crash in which teammate Josh Brent was jailed for intoxication manslaughter, the Cowboys played through their grief to beat Cincinnati, 20-19.

Gil Bowden accepted the award for business of the year from Ferron. "We had the idea of creating a destination spot. At first we thought a motel and convenience store would be the way to go. But none of the lending companies had the same vision. I could not get the idea out of my head. I had already drawn up plans and had a layout of how I wanted everything. When I could not get support from the banks, I decided on plan B. Since I was a little ahead of the need for what I thought was coming, I came up with a plan to get there in steps. So I borrowed the monies by using my house as collateral, and got started. Since there was a need for auto service, I built the building I was going to need and put in place all the plumbing and structure I was going to need for the motel. After a few years of running the auto and convenience store, I had my loans paid down enough to move to the next stage, and then a couple of years later we built nine rooms. Four years later, we jumped in and started the eight cabins that we originally wanted to do. It's been a struggle with the economy and breaking my back while I was working on the cabins never helped any.
"The main reason we went into business is to provide our eight children with employment. It has served as a great tool in teaching them how to work, how to develop social skills along with their work ethic. They have all moved on to very successful career opportunities. Now that they are all gone we find ourselves trying to remember why we started the business and what the reason was that we wanted to do it. We are still a little ahead of the demand, but I feel encouraged by the change in attitude of recreation in the area and state. It makes me hopeful that the business might start to work like we hoped from the beginning. Business in this end of the county is hard. There is a need, but the volume is very inadequate, we need more out of the area patrons.
"We hope to finish the last stages of our plans this year; we should have around 27 total rooms, an expanded eating service to meet the need of the motel patrons, and a destination program to bring in customers to enjoy the many opportunities that this area has to offer, and hopefully bring them back many more times," said Bowden.

I've been reading tarot for over 40 years now.
Do I believe it's the cards? Hell no. I do believe that the images on the cards help trigger associations that I'm able to interpret.
That being said, I don't ask questions prior to a reading, and I certainly don't presume that what I'm seeing is inevitable, only the most likely progression of events if no action is taken.
So, yeah, I'm a believer. I'm also a world class skeptic…if I didn't have the accuracy I did, I wouldn't believe.

Horoscopes to predict the future…no. I do believe that people with the same sun sign have extremely similar personality traits. Without knowing a person, I've been able to guess their sign.
Tarot cards are just tools used. Kinda like the evil ouija board. I think a clairvoyant or psychic uses these to lay out what their thoughts are and it helps them to explain and see clearer.
Anyway…with that being said, I've never been to a psychic my whole life that has ever been correct about anything important. Only one psychic that I went to is pretty much on the money, and she's a witch in Salem. Inexpensive and nailed stuff on the head that you can't just make up. I believe there are few people who have the gift…very few. I believe 95% are scammers.ReplyCancel
@Robot- my thoughts are with you today. <3ReplyCancel
So much love to you and your family,Liz.
You can count on prayers from my place.
Hugs to you Robot. Hard to believe it's been a year. And wasn't there the t-shirt debacle along with that as well? Am I getting that mixed up?
Merlin I read Tarot as well and also do not ask any questions prior to a read either. I feel like it can be an influence in how I interpret the cards.
Now have I made decisions based on my reads for myself? Sadly yes. Was it a bad thing..Not necessarily.
Also I've had my horoscope done several times. I find them fascinating.ReplyCancel
One time a psychic told my great-aunt that her husband was seeing his first wife every day instead of going to work. She followed him the next day–he got dressed and took his (empty) briefcase to the cemetary and sat by his first wife's grave all day and talked to her. He'd been pretending to go to work after he'd lost his job (not sure for how long). Surprising no one, this led to their divorce.ReplyCancel
Robot – I remember your story we'll and will be thinking of you and sweet Ben on 3/20. Many hugs to you.
I don't often read my horoscope, but I am as Pisces as a person can be. I also had a psychic reading by Echo Bodine (I think she had a ghost busters show on cable) when I was 20 and I listened to a tape recording of it maybe a decade later and she was spot-on.ReplyCancel
Yes and no. I I interpret potential future thru the lens of my past influenced present, that said, I'm pretty gullible. 😉 if you tell me I will have money troubles, I will think about money issues. Doesn't mean you are right.ReplyCancel
That's actually really touching that he would do that, Karen. Who knows? He may have felt like he was failing your great-aunt and wanted to vent to someone he felt had loved him unconditionally.
Sad 🙁ReplyCancel
Your GA has a book she needs to write.

Liz, thoughts for you and yours.ReplyCancel
Prayers and thoughts to you and your loved ones Robot.ReplyCancel
I believe. Why not? Who's to say it's not real? You honestly never know. I like astrology and I can spot a fellow Scorpio from a mile away. We are usually the ones calling the shots in relationships- Leo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, etc. Like minded!ReplyCancel
Stalin and Mao have killed more people in history than any other human. And they were atheists. MLK Jr and Mother Theresa were Christians.
It's not the idea of belief, but the people who use it for bullshit that is the problem. Organized religion is bad but just believing that there's something else out there watching over us? Nothing wrong with that.ReplyCancel
I believe and yet im a skeptic, which is weird. I also read tarot cards. Once we went out with a bunch of couples and i got roped into reading for everybody, including guy i didnt know from adam. First of all, almost all his cards were upside down which is usually negative. As i read, it got worse and worse-you will have trouble with law, you're a scammer, youre dishonest, something law and children, huge money losses, a flight. He never flinched, but it got so bad I started making stuff up. Well few months later, this guy was arrested for stock fraud, he had scammed his date and her father. He also kidnapoed his children and was apprehended fleeing by cops. Now how can that possibly be explained? I had no info. Things like this make life fun and interesting.ReplyCancel
Fuck yeah I do!!!
I did tarot last wk.
I have a shitty court date Wednesday,
& me & my ex are going thru a nasty custody battle.
I got the Devil reversed, which shows the Lovers in the card, no longer being chained together.
Thank fukn god. I hate that dude.
We'll never be homies again.
& I read my Cancer horoscope daily.ReplyCancel
@Cocoa, right? I was 17 and probably one of the oldest counselors, so we were freaking out for the rest of the day. The fight came out of nowhere, too, and it was in front of most of us. Crazy.ReplyCancel
Oh @Robot, I'm so sorry. Sending lots of love and hugs your way.ReplyCancel
Ditto, @auntliddy. What a bizarre experience that is.ReplyCancel
I'm with those that believe and are skeptic. Santeria is a very interesting religion. There's a master voodoo guy in CA that has some pretty famous people in his "black book" that he does work for. It's also a religion not to play around with. Crazy stuffReplyCancel
I read a bunch of them everyday since years ago but I don't believe any because all that experience. Anyway, it's interesting because they always give good advice (none of them says "kill your boss", "f-word your married neigbour" or "put a bomb in a pressure cooker" for example).ReplyCancel
Prayers Robot to Jesus for your nephew. No, I don't have tarot readings etc because the Bible says not to. And it creeps me out. However, I'm a huge hypocrite as I love gossip and have broken a lot of the 10 commandments (except murder). But, I believe that we are created by a loving a God that sent His own son to die for us. Believe in Him and you'll get to Heaven. Simple. But, I respect others beliefs if they respect mine. Nobody's perfect..be humble.ReplyCancel
Well said ChappyReplyCancel
I believe in psychic ability – mine.
Seriously. But I call it my "once removed" psychic ability.
I met a guy in the park with his dog and for some reason I called his dog Jasmine. He said "No, her name is Baby but the dog I had before her was named Jasmine."
I meet a couple of little girls sitting outside a cafe, their mom goes in to get their lunch, I start chatting with them, ask if I can guess their names. I guess Madison and Amelia. They say no, wrong – but their mother's name is Amelia.
I often meet people and then the next time I see them I call them by the wrong name. And it's ALWAYS the name of one of their siblings that I've never met or even heard of.
I met this guy and his dog … the next time I saw him I called his dog Bodie and he said "that's so weird, that's the name of my sister's dog in Texas!"
Happens ALL THE TIME.
Now if I could only make money off it 🙂ReplyCancel
I've had my cards read a number of times. Most of it's the same old, same old, but I've seen a couple of psychics who were completely astounding. There was one years ago that was friends with my mom. A lot of psychics have told me that I'd have two kids. Frances told me I'd have three but only raise two – the third wouldn't die, and she said it would be "complicated" but she didn't know any other details. Well, without going into a long, long story, I've got three kids and am raising two. No, it's not a custody situation or anything else. Like I said, it's complicated. *L*ReplyCancel
I'm a few min away from Salem ma, can I ask who the person is you went to?ReplyCancel
Thinking of you at this sad anniversary time.
I'm on the fence with this because I've had such uncanny experiences. I was 21 when I had this Mexican psychic, who spoke no English, actually predict my first husband, my second husband, and me having twins. She kept asking me if I was in love with a Hispanic man a lot older than me and, at the time, my boyfriend was Greek, so I said "no." She said I would marry this Hispanic man, but divorce him and live overseas (which I did) and much later, would marry a man from a foreign country and have twins. All of it happened pretty much the way she predicted it. It's funny because this was her first reading for me and the second time I went, none of what she said ever happened.ReplyCancel
@Henriette …. YET 🙂ReplyCancel
A Ouija board once told me I'd win the Pulitzer Prize for a book called "Rearing Ladies." I was about 14 at the time.
I'm not a writer but if I ever write a book that's sure as hell going to be the title.
I just don't know if it will be a novel, an etiquette book, flat out porn, or a tell-all about Hollywood actors and their predilections.ReplyCancel
@Merlin D. Bear : I've been reading the Tarot for 25 years, and you are 100% correct. My favorite read is a complete stranger over the phone – they can't drop all those physical cues that people do. Helps keep my skills sharp, too.ReplyCancel
Been into astrology 35years. It works for me. I know a channeler who can be scary right or pretty wrong. She's got a 75% accuracy rate so I'm impressed. Am pretty good with tarot. People ask me a lot if I rember what I told them that had come true. Can't do it for myself though.ReplyCancel

Don't let scandal destroy Petraeus
In the weeks since he was obliged to resign as CIA director, David Petraeus has come under inevitable scrutiny and criticism, with a new historiography instantly emerging not only about the mistakes he made in his personal life but about his supposedly flawed generalship in recent conflicts. Given how polarizing the Iraq War experience has been in American politics, and how long and frustrating the Afghanistan saga has become, some of this is inevitable. But a good deal of it is unfortunate and unfair.
By any reasonable reckoning, Petraeus is one of the handful of greatest generals of his generation. By my admittedly biased reckoning, he is perhaps one of the nation's 10 best of all time. That latter assertion can be debated, of course. But this is no time to pile on Petraeus with gratuitous criticism, as news articles and op-eds in some of the nation's most famous newspapers have recently done. To be fair, and to help us all learn useful lessons from history that can guide us in the years ahead, the level of debate needs to be elevated a bit.
Story Continued Below
No contemporary history or analysis of Petraeus can be definitive, and I hardly purport to offer a complete picture here. But as we debate the man and his legacy as a general, several key aspects of his leadership need to be accurately understood and factored into any net assessment, whether highly favorable or not. Petraeus made several outstanding contributions to contemporary military leadership that need to be reflected in any debate about his place in history. Consider:
• As Petraeus himself argues, it is crucial that any leader "get the big idea right" — and in Iraq in particular, he surely did, after his predecessors had not. His focus on the need to get troops out of big bases and into the cities and towns of Iraq, where they could patrol the streets, gain the confidence of the population, collect accurate intelligence, protect the citizenry and work with local community leaders as well as security personnel was clearly vindicated. He did have kindred spirits within the military who also supported this concept, to be sure. But they were not that numerous. Neither the joint chiefs of staff as a group nor even Secretary of Defense Robert Gates were initially inclined to support, resource and sustain the radical change in strategy.
Yes, the surge in U.S. troop levels was crucial, too, for turning around the war there. Yes, the "Sunni awakening" movement was essential, as well. I never heard Petraeus claim that it was only, or even mainly, his own contributions to the new strategy that brought down violence by 90 percent in the short space of 18 months. But without this absolutely bold and correct big idea, there was little chance that any of these other favorable inputs or circumstances could turn the war around. The surge was the most dramatic, if not necessarily the most important, turnaround in American military history since perhaps the Revolutionary War, and he had a great deal to do with it.
• The recent critical articles about his supposedly imperial style and his admittedly mixed reputation among his peer group forget just how impressive his leadership was in many ways. He took advantage of the age of email and of his boundless energy and work ethic to communicate directly and frequently with subordinates.

Whenever I throw a holiday get-together for family and friends, I like to add a handcrafted touch made especially for that event. This month I'm sharing some ideas for quick, easy 4th of July crafts for table decorations to display on a picnic or dinner table. Using 12×12-inch scrapbook paper or plain red, white, and blue art paper, you can create a disposable table runner, napkin rings, and swizzle sticks for drinks. They're fun to create, and bright custom-made decor adds an especially festive note to your entertaining. Party on!
Materials for 4th of July Crafts
- 4th of July craft templates
- printer
- cardstock
- sharpened pencil
- paper in various reds, whites, and blues (plain sheets and/or 12×12-inch patterned scrapbook sheets, such as double-sided scrapbook paper)
- legal-size paper
- regular scissors
- heavy-duty kitchen scissors
- bamboo skewers
- glue stick
How to Make 4th of July Fireworks Swizzle Stick
- Print the craft template onto cardstock.
- Stack two sheets of patterned paper. Place the template over the area you want to see in the finished work. Trace with a pencil.
- Cut out triangles carefully along the lines through both sheets, all the way to the ends. (If the triangular slots are too short, the fireworks shape won't align.)
- Cut a deep slit (through both sheets) into the center of the fireworks shape (watch the instructional video for details on how to cut the fireworks shape for this craft).
- Using heavy-duty kitchen scissors, snip just the tip of the blunt end of the bamboo skewer. Then run the blades up the skewer, splitting it along the grain, about 3 inches.
- Rotate the skewer 90 degrees and repeat. The goal is to split the end of the skewer into 4 equal parts; it's a little tricky, and you might break a few before you get the hang of it. Luckily, the skewers for this craft are inexpensive!
- Now take one of the paper fireworks shapes and feed it, uncut side first (that is, the side opposite the deep, narrow slit), into one of the splits you made in the skewer.
Take the second piece of paper and feed it, narrow slit first, at a 90-degree angle into the narrow slit in the first paper and the second split in the skewer at the same time. (watch the video for details on how to attach the fireworks shape to the bamboo skewer).
How to Make 4th of July Star Napkin Ring
- Print the template onto cardstock.
- Place the template over the area of paper you want to see in the finished work. Trace with a pencil.
- Cut carefully along the lines, all the way to the ends. (If the slots are too short, the star won't align.)
- Wrap the napkin ring into a circle and feed the slots together.
- As a personal touch, write a guest's name on each star.

Dhoni puts India in command
A career-high 206 not out from Mahendra Singh Dhoni put India firmly in control of the first Test against Australia at the close of play on day three in Chennai.
- Related Content
Dhoni smashed 22 fours and five sixes with his knock taking just 243 balls as India finished 515 for eight, 135 ahead of Australia's first-innings effort of 380 all out.
Virat Kohli made 107 while Sachin Tendulkar could only add 10 to his overnight score of 71 on a day when Australia toiled in the field.
Australia made the ideal start when their only frontline spinner, Nathan Lyon, bowled Tendulkar through the gate.
His dismissal after a 10-over period of low scoring and disciplined bowling brought in Dhoni, whose arrival prompted an increase in the run rate as he and Kohli took to the visiting bowling attack.
Kohli launched a Lyon delivery into the stands in the 68th over before Dhoni found the ropes twice off the same bowler in the 72nd.
Moises Henriques was next to get the treatment as Kohli hit a short wide one through the covers to the boundary before cutting through the slips for another four two balls later.
India looked to continue the momentum gained towards the end of the first session, when Dhoni in particular pummelled the visiting attack.
A long hop from Clarke just after the interval was dispatched to the mid-wicket boundary by Kohli and the pair hit boundaries in the next five consecutive overs with Dhoni hitting three off Mitchell Starc in the 88th, the highlight being the first when the skipper punched a short delivery through the covers.
Kohli brought up his century and the India 300 in the next over with his 14th boundary - hitting James Pattinson through square leg to the fence.
A length delivery from Henriques was hit for a maximum by Dhoni the next over with a similar delivery two balls later going for four.
With Dhoni hitting the ball to all parts, Kohli was keen to match his skipper - but it led to his downfall in the next over.
When on 107, Kohli failed to get the elevation required to beat Starc at mid-on with the bowler taking a simple catch off Lyon to leave India 324 for five.
Dhoni attempted to maintain the impressive run rate, hitting boundaries off Siddle then Lyon, but there were a lack of runs from the other end.
There was little surprise when Ravindra Jadeja left a Pattinson delivery which clattered into off stump to and end a 44-ball, 16-run innings.
Dhoni resumed the final session on 97 not out and quickly brought up his ton, lofting Peter Siddle for four over square leg.
Ravichandran Ashwin went for three before Henriques bowled Harbhajan Singh (11) when the spinner missed an attempted slog across the line.
But with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (16no) happy to give the strike to Dhoni, the captain stepped into overdrive.
He punished anything full or short, stepping up the aggression and unsettled the Australians, who regularly changed their bowlers to little effect.
Lyon came in for particular punishment and Starc and Siddle toiled away without luck, while skipper Clarke and David Warner failed to make inroads.
As the day approached an end, all interest surrounded Dhoni's audacious bid for 200 runs in one day of Test cricket.
And he achieved the milestone with a nudge to third man off the bowling of Lyon, with the risky single - which came with less than four overs left - bringing the crowd to their feet.

Skip to comments.Green Day 'bemoan Obama Nobel win'
Posted on 10/31/2009 9:51:08 AM PDT by the scotsman
Green Day have said that US President Barack Obama does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
The American Idiot rockers admitted that they cannot understand why the head of state had been awarded the prestigious prize after only nine months in office.
(Excerpt) Read more at digitalspy.co.uk ...
Blind. Squirrel. Nut.
The band is RACIST!
Well said.
How's that Hope and Change working out for you.
Obama could have turned it down you know and said they he doesn't deserve this and to check back in four years, but he knew deep down in his own narcissistic heart that he wouldn't even deserve it then and got the getting while the getting was good.
Really, nitwits?!
If you have diffculty believing that, imagine the rest of us people paying attention having difficulty with him receiving the award after being in office less than two weeks, which was actually the case. A$$ hats.
I like what Newt said.....
"As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials."
This story is so 3 weeks ago. Where has Green Day been all this time?
They may be idiots, but I agree with them on this one.
>>Blind. Squirrel. Nut.
"brevity is the soul of wit."
and you sir have wit.
That is the most accurate thing I have ever seen reported in the media.
They just think Obama isn't lefty enough for them.
I propose it be renamed the Norwegian Bureaucrat Prize.
They did everything to get him elected. Don't question the O. You will find yourself being outcast you idiots.
Now that Green Day has weighed in, I would say the case is closed.
Can idiots understand anything???
I never liked that band anyway.
It ...is... the name of their album.
Perhaps Green Day should wonder why they were ever perceived as real musicians. They've polluted young minds for years with their useless noise and then wonder why Obama gets an award for accomplishing nothing?
"Now that Green Day has weighed in, I would say the case is closed."
At least they seem to be smarter than Sting who thinks Obama came from God.

The voice mail is from a producer of a new "docudrama" series. Docudrama, I learn when I call back, is the next evolution of reality television.
Docudrama explores the lives of real people and real issues. As opposed to mere reality television, which is content to film the banalities of, say, a family of bearded brothers who make duck calls and have strong, negative religious opinions about homosexuals. Or people fishing for tuna. Or crabs. Or walking around naked in a wilderness without food or water (but followed around by people with cameras who are wearing clothes and probably brought lunch).
Don't laugh. I saw a life-size cardboard cutout of one of those duck-call brothers in Wal-Mart the other day. He's famous. For what, exactly, I'm not sure. But that's what this culture has come to.
The new series wants to explore the lives of people who are or once were leading double lives. Clandestine relationships. Compulsions/addictions. Crime. Hidden identities. Why do people do this? When, if ever, do they tell the truth? Do they want to tell the truth? Is there some kind of "rush" associated with conning the world, or at least conning close friends and family? Is it driven by power? Or shame?
The producer is calling me because she stumbled across a Human Matters column wherein I responded to a married woman talking about her longtime affair with a married man. The producer wonders how often I work with Double Lifers in my private practice, and whether I know someone I might refer for the new show.
"Yikes," I say. And, to her credit, the producer is very sensitive to my ethical conundrum.
Confidentiality is holy ground for me. A well-developed psychic muscle. Believe it or not, I myself don't immediately remember every dark confession made in session, preferring to focus on the hope, healing and new life for which my patients reach so courageously.
In short, I can't imagine myself ending a session by saying, "Say, would you like to confess your double life to your spouse and family on television? I can hook you up."
Still, perhaps some people want to tell their story. Need to. And, sometimes, for some people, maybe telling the story in public is useful, powerful and cleansing.
I tell the producer what I think.
Human beings, each, are contradictions. This is the nature of the human heart. All of us are, in cycles, at war with our instinctual selves. Sometimes we win the war. Sometimes we don't. And none of us tell every detail of every war.
It's impossible to reach middle age without some things hidden. Secrets, I guess. The good folks at Alcoholics Anonymous are fond of saying, "You are as sick as your secrets."
I get their point, but they overstate the case. The saying should read "Some secrets keep us sick." That is, truth to whom the truth is due — yes! Confession in carefully selected, faithful relationships — yes! Other secrets should rightly remain secret. Truth-telling is a much more serious, complicated and rigorous moral discipline than mere boundaryless exhibitionism. It is immoral to tell every truth to every/anyone.
The producer's call makes me think about the fuzzy lines between privacy (a good thing), discretion (a classy, well-mannered thing) and leading an outright double life. A man who privately revels in a co-workers eye-popping cleavage might not share his revelry with his wife, because he's being discreet. But a man with two wives and two families in two different towns, each unknown to the other, is leading a double life.
There is a line between those two things. Where is it?
Leading a double life is taxing and costly to the soul. Many Double Lifers are quite literally dying to be found out, "accidentally" dropping clues everywhere even as they cover their tracks.
Perhaps telling many people different fragments of truth, thus preventing anyone from knowing the whole truth.
Do you need to tell your story? Well, now I have the name and phone number of a producer who wants to help you do that. On television. "We are able to preserve the anonymity if the person does not want to reveal their identity, and we are also able to re-enact the past if this person's secret has already been released but they feel their experience needs to be shared with a mass audience."
Ah, but here's another fuzzy line. Hiding a double life can be deadly. But undiscerning, radical exposure can be deadly, too.

Sibyl Pauline Wintizer Whitlock passed away peacefully in her sleep early Thursday morning, Feb. 7, 2013, at her daughter, Linda Shakir's home in Harrisburg.
Sibyl was born March 4, 1923, in the community of Big Ridge to Ben and Tessie Wintizer.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, J.W. Wintizer of Big Ridge; her sister, Oleva Winterberger, of Sacramento, Calif.; her husband, Philip Whitlock; her son, Jim Whitlock; and her grandson, Jimmy Whitlock.
She is survived by a son, Ben Whitlock; two daughters, Linda Shakir, Harrisburg; Kay Whitlock, Chicago; four grandchildren, Lyndi Whitlock-Lane, Kristi Smith, Dr. Shariff Shakir and George Whitlock.
Sibyl had a long working history as a farm wife, the parts "man" at Whitlock Tractors and Chamness Ford. She managed Karpet Korner in Harrisburg before founding Sibyl's Carpets in 1978. She managed Sibyl's Carpets and calculated work orders until her death.
Sibyl was a great cook regularly hosting Sunday family dinners where there was always room and food for one or two more and, if your birthday was close, you got to choose the menu. She loved to travel and mostly visited friends and relatives rather than the sights. Her travels covered much of Illinois; Florida; Colorado; Germany; Georgia; California many times; Australia; New Zealand; Philadelphia; and Abilene, Texas, one time for a nephew's wedding. Sibyl loved to dance and was a regular at senior dances all over Southern Illinois. She played pinochle on Tuesday's at Bobbi Jo's in Galatia.
Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013, at Reed Funeral Chapel in Harrisburg. The Rev. Ownly Williams will officiate. Visitation will be from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9 at Reed Funeral Chapel. Memorial donations can be made to the Harvest Deliverance Center in Harrisburg. Envelopes will be available at the funeral home.
Condolences may be sent to the family through the obituary page at www.reedfuneralchapel.com.

"History will speak kindly of us because we intend to write it." -Winston Churchill. This was the class quote for the 2011 Senior Class of Green River High School. Principal Nolan Johnson and School Board Member Royd Hatt presented the 23 graduates with their diplomas at commencement exercises Friday night.
Class Salutatorian Caleb White encouraged his classmates to emulate a turtle, after all if a turtle wants to go anywhere he has to stick his neck out. He told them they would not experience life to the fullest if they didn't stick their necks out. Cady Mecham class Valedictorian took them on a trip down memory lane, reminding them of experiences from elementary school to victories in high school. She said, "For the past 12 years we've been this big dysfunctional family and tonight that ends, we've been through it all. We are ready to take on the world, but the actual question might be - world, are you ready for us?"
Speaker Misti Sweeten said that from her vantage point now, she would go back and tell her 19 year old self that the most important thing in life would be, to be present. Be open to the moment that is unfolding before you. Because ultimately your life is made up of moments. So don't miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future. Don't be absent from your own life. She told them that right now they have it all - the power of their imagination, the velocity of their dreams, the language of innocence, and the passion of a beginner. Get ready for your next adventure, you are just beginning, and what makes beginnings so thrilling is the unknown. The world is waiting for you... and - wow - I hope it is ready for you.
Class president Nicole Arnold told them to take too many pictures, laugh way too loud, and love like you've never been hurt. Because every 60 seconds that you spend upset, is a minute of happiness that you'll never get back. Her message to everyone was: live life to the fullest. Take chances. Follow your heart, and your dreams. Love those around you, and treat them as you would like to be treated, and never regret anything that once made you smile.
Congratulations Class of 2011 - hit the road running and don't ever give up.
Caleb White is the son of Tony and Amy White; Cady Mecham is the daughter of Trevor and Allyson Mecham; Nicole Arnold is the daughter of Randy and Kathy Arnold.

Pretty Peep Toe
"Love these shoes, but I tend to wear these when I know I won't be on my feet for a very long time. With longer wear time my toes get squished and is very uncomfortable. If you have a narrow foot it would be fine."

"Great shoe!! Very comfortable. A little high and you definitely need to go up a size. They run kind of small. Overall love this wedge. Perfect pair for many different outings!"

Cute but runs small
"The shoe is very cute and simple to wear but runs small. I usually wear a 6.5 and had to go up to a 7.5."
