Odeon/EMI (Brazil), 1970. New Copy ....

Airto —
Fingers (remastered edition) ... CD
CTI, 1973. New Copy Gatefold ....
One of Airto's greatest records ever – a really hard hitting batch of tracks that mix sharp-edged fusion lines with some earthier Brazilian percussion touches – all in a way that nicely steps off of Airto's first few American releases, and warms the groove up with a nice dose of...
read more
Airto —
Free ... CD
CBS, 1972. Used ....
Airto's unique Brazilian fusion style meets the electric funky genius of CTI – and the result is a killer album of long tracks with a far-reaching jazzy groove! The album takes off a bit from Airto's work with Return To Forever – no surprise, since Chick Corea and Flora Purim are on...

Johnny Alf (with bonus track) ... CD
Rozenblit/Mr Bongo (UK), 1966. New Copy ....
A 60s bossa classic from Johnny Alf – a set that really showcases the bluer side of bossa at the time! The set's got a rich, sophisticated sort of sound – right up there with the best Elenco or Forma vocal sessions of the 60s, thanks to orchestrations by Jose Briamonte, which move...

Caterete ... CD
Adventure Music, 2000/2003. Used ....
A pretty darn great record from Brazilian singer and guitarist Nelson Angelo – an artist we haven't heard from since his early 70s album with Joyce! Angelo clearly hasn't missed a beat in the time that's gone by – and he's working here in a compelling mode that blends small combo...

Azymuth —
Partido Novo ... CD
Far Out (UK), 2002. New Copy ....
Warm, wonderful, and incredibly far-reaching in scope – possibly the most ambitious record cut by Azymuth in recent years – a perfect blend of jazzy fusion, Brazilian rhythms, and some of the London broken beat culture that the group have come into contact with through their label, Far...

Paulo Bagunca —
Paulo Bagunca E A Tropa Maldita ... CD
Continental/Discos Mariposa (Argentina), 1973. New Copy ....
A Brazilian underground classic from the early 70s – mindblowing work that mixes heavy percussion with lots of guitar – in a style that's samba soul one minute, but heavier rock the next! There's a bit of a Jorge Ben influence going on at times – particularly in the way the...

Banda Black Rio —
Super Nova Samba Funk ... CD
Far Out (UK), 2011. New Copy ....
A brilliant new vision for the legendary Banda Black Rio – the pioneering samba, soul and funk combo that broke so much ground in the 70s and remain vital to this day – led here by William Magalhaes, in a mode that celebrates decades of the best Brazilian music, while fearlessly moving...

Beat Boys —
Beat Boys (with bonus track) ... CD
RCA/Lion, 1968. New Copy ....
A hip little set from The Beat Boys – an Argetine group working in late 60s Brazil, supposedly with a bit of an influence on the sound of Tropicalia! The sound here is a bit straighter than the work of Caetano Veloso or Os Mutantes – a bit in the Jovem Guarda sound of more mainstream...
read more
Nina Becker & Marcello Callado —
Gambito Budapeste ... CD
YB Music (Brazil), 2012. New Copy ....
Great contemporary sounds from Brazil – a collaboration between Nina Becker and Marcelo Callado – done with a really playfully creative feel! Nina's sung recently with Orquesta Imperial, and Marcelo's the drummer in Caetano Veloso's recent group – and the record definitely has...

Bnegao & Seletores De Frequencia —
Sintoniza La ... CD
Coqueiro Verde (Brazil), 2012. New Copy ....
A brilliant mix of live funk and lead MC work from Bnegao – and just the sort of unique criss-crossing of styles we'd never see up here in the US! The album's not really a hip hop record – despite the lead raps of Bnegao – and instead, it's kind of a funk record with spoken...

Maria Bethania —
Noite Luzidia ... CD
Biscoito Fino (Brazil), 2001. New Copy ....
An historic 35th Anniversary show from Maria Bethania – recorded wonderfully, with some really sensitive musical backdrops that perfectly follow the rich mood of the set! The presentation is very personal – as Maria's a bit reflective about her years in music – and the...

Oasis De Bethania ... CD
Biscoito Fino (Brazil), 2011. New Copy ....

Luiz Bonfa —
Amor! – The Fabulous Guitar Of Luiz Bonfa ... CD
Atlantic (Japan), 1957/1958. New Copy ....
A rare early album by the legend Brazilian guitar genius – still bossa, but also recorded in the US – which gives the album a stronger jazz feel at times! The core focus here is still on Bonfa's lively guitar solos – but the presence of added jazz musicians make for a set that's...
read more
Luiz Bonfa —
Recado Novo ... CD
EMI/Odeon (Brazil), 1962. New Copy ....
A standout early album from Luiz Bonfa – one that features larger orchestrations than a number of his other sides, as well as a good blend of vocals in addition to Bonfa's haunting work on guitar. The album's got a full, rich sound – one that takes Bonfa to territory that we'd never...

Lo Borges —
Horizontal/Vertical ... CD
Sony (Brazil), 2011. New Copy ....
Lo Borges looks surprisingly youthful in the artwork for this CD – and his music sounds the same – every bit as fresh and personal as when he first sprang onto the scene with Milton Nascimento at the start of the 70s! As with other recent efforts, the songwriting is superb – as...

Bossa Rio —
Bossa Rio (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD
A&M (Japan), 1970. New Copy ....
A groovy bossa gem from the glory days of A&M Records – an ultra-hip group recorded with production by Sergio Mendes! The feel here is a lot like that of Brasil 66 – bossa rhythms, sunny CA instrumentation, and lovely female vocals – in this case sung singularly, by the...
read more
Bossacucanova & Roberto Menescal —
Brasilidade ... CD
Ziriguiboom/Six Degrees, 2001. Used ....
The bossa remix combo of Bossacucanova wisely get a dose of history and soul from guitarist Roberto Menescal, one of the original bossa nova geniuses of the 60s – and an artist who's really come back into the fold in recent years. The record features Menescal's guitar upfront in the mix...

Brazilian Octopus ... CD
Fermata/Vivid (Japan), 1970. New Copy ....
An incredible little record with a sound that's unlike anything else we've ever heard before – a set that mixes jazzy inflections on vibes, organ, guitar, percussion, and flute – the last of which is played here by a young Hermeto Pascoal! The set was done after Pascoal's work in...

Constelacao ... CD
Motema, 2012. New Copy ....
A great blend of Brazilian roots and piano jazz – played here by a trio that's all-solid, all the way through – serving up some really wonderful music that never relies on bossa cliches, or any sort of tricks and gimmicks! Instead, there's a really rich mixing of modes – one that'...

Estupido Cupido (6CD set) ... CD
EMI/Discobertas (Brazil), 1959/1960/1961/1968. New Copy 6 CDs ....
A wealth of early work from the lovely Celly Campello – one of the biggest girl pop icons in the Brazilian scene of the 60s! Celly's work is more inspired by American rock and roll than previous Brazilian styles – and as such, these records are a crucial part in the formation of the...
read more
Vinicius Cantuaria —
Indio De Apartamento ... CD
Naive (France), 2012. New Copy ....
Beautiful sounds from Vinicius Cantuaria – an artist who only seems to get better and better over time – working with a style that's deeply classic, yet has plenty of dark edges too! At first glance, you might be tempted to label the set as bossa – but although there's plenty of...
read more
Elizeth Cardoso —
Cancoes A Meia Luz ... CD
Continental/Discobertas (Brazil), 1955. New Copy ....
A gem of a record from the pre-bossa years in Brazil – a set that's not just noteworthy for rich vocals from Elizeth Cardoso, but also for some early arrangements by Antonio Carlos Jobim! Jobim scored the whole set – and while the style is quite different than his later bossa material,...
read more
Altamiro Carrilho —
Ensaio ... CD
Warner (Brazil), 1992. New Copy ....
Smoking sounds from this legendary Brazilian flautist – a really stripped-down session that's easily one of the greatest documents of his talents we've ever heard! The performance was done for the TV show Ensaio, and has that wonderfully personal feel of most of the program's recordings...

Celeste —
Cinco E Triste Da Manha ... CD
Tapecar/Amazon (Brazil), Early 70s. New Copy ....
Moody female vocals from Brazil – a great early 70s album with a dreamy feel and a nice electric touch! In a way, the album's a fair bit like the Ana Mazzotti album from the same period, with a mix of some funky scatting vocal numbers, and other tunes that are more laidback, but which fit...
read more
Ceu —
Caravana Sereia Bloom ... CD
Six Degrees, 2012. New Copy ....
A nice step forward for Ceu – and a record with a bit more of an edge than we might have expected! The set's still heavy on those sweet Brazilian vocals with an old school vibe – but the production, although often spare, has this nice raspy quality we really love – subtle...
read more
Conjunto Sambacana —
Sambacana ... CD
Odeon/Think (Japan), 1964. New Copy ....
A really dreamy little set from this hip Brazilian combo – a set that's got a bossa feel overall, but which also seems to draw a bit from folkloric roots too! The instrumentation is nice and warm – a great 60s blend of light percussion, acoustic guitar, and nice bits of jazzy flute and...

Amiga De Verdade (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Discobertas (Brazil), 1988. New Copy ....
Sublime work from Alaide Costa – a beautifully mature album from the late 80s, and one that has her working with a host of great guest help from the Milton Nascimento camp, and the jazzier side of the MPB spectrum! In addition to vocals from Milton on one cut, the set also features...

Ana Costa —
Hoje E O Melhor Lugar ... CD
Biscoito Fino (Brazil), 2012. New Copy ....
One of the rootsiest albums we've ever heard from the lovely Ana Costa – quite different than her earlier funk and soul sides in Brazil, and done in a really great samba mode overall! Instrumentation is mostly acoustic – with excellent percussion and guitar – and Costa's vocals...

Paixao Acesa ... CD
Arca/Discobertas (Brazil), 1985. New Copy ....
Warmly wonderful sounds from Maria Creuza – really coming into her own at the time of this mid 80s set – and finding a way to blend together rootsy sounds and sophisticated production – all with a result that's a bit like Gal Costa at the time! There's a gentle feel to the set...
read more
Maria Creuza —
Pura Magica ... CD
Arca/Discobertas (Brazil), 1987. New Copy ....
Pure magic from the lovely Maria Creuza – a singer who only seems to get more soulful as the years go on! The set's got a different feel than some of Maria's earlier work – rootsy some minutes, but with a soul-styled sophistication at others – often arranged with jazzy...
read more
Criolo —
No Na Orelha ... CD
Sterns (UK), 2012. New Copy ....
A really compelling blend of sounds – and a set that's billed as a hip hop album, but which is way way more than that – more a wonderful hybrid of global styles, all wrapped up with the crispness of the contemporary Brazilian underground! The set begins with a number that's straight...

Odeon/Discobertas (Brazil), 1958/1959/1961. New Copy 4CD ....
Wonderful work from the later years of Moreira Da Silva – a quartet of albums recorded for the Odeon label at the end of the 50s, and which really show Da Silva hitting a mature sort of stride! The timing was perfect for these sets – as improved studio techniques in Brazil really...

Mano Decio Da Viola —
Capitulo Maior Da Historia Do Samba ... CD
Tapecar/Discobertas (Brazil), 1974. New Copy ....
Easygoing samba sounds from Mano Decio Da Viola – an overlooked 70s gem, but a set that stands with the best of Mano's bigger contemporaries in the samba scene! Mano's vocals have this raspy, personal feel – almost as if he's speaking instead of singing at some points – although...
read more
Paulinho Da Viola —
Prisma Luminoso ... CD
Warner (Brazil), 1983. New Copy ....
A record that acts just like its title – as the set really helps focus the brilliance of Paulinho Da Viola into bright rays of color – showing different tones and feelings with each new tune on the set! By that, we don't mean that the album's schizophrenic – just that it's got a...
read more
Joelho De Porco —
Joelho De Porco ... CD
Som Livre (Brazil), 1978. Used ....
Quirky Brazilian rock from the late 70s – a bit arty at times, and more straightforward at others – almost post-glam sliding into new wave, if we can bludgeon about so many terms so loosely! There's probably a fair bit of wit in the lyrics here – which we can't get due to our...
read more
Gilson De Souza —
Poxa (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Tapecar/Discobertas (Brazil), 1975. New Copy ....
The only album we've ever seen from Gilson De Souza – and a great bit of 70s samba with a really deep sort of feel! Gilson's got a laidback way of singing that's mighty nice – still enough punch to get things going, but couched in these really lovely backings that often have some...
read more
Raul De Souza —
Colors ... CD
Milestone, 1975. New Copy ....
A sweet blend of west coast jazz and Brazilian rhythms – and one of our favorite records ever from trombonist Raul De Souza! The session's got a more soulful, jazzy feel than some of Raul's other dates from the 70s – not nearly as tight as his sets for Capitol, with an earthy...

Deodato —
Whirlwinds/Artistry ... CD
MCA/BGO (UK), 1974. New Copy ....
Two post-CTI gems from Deodato – back to back on a single CD! Whirlwinds is sweet keyboard soul from Deodato – a set that steps off nicely from the strengths of his big hits on CTI, hitting a similarly flowing groove that's really great! The instrumentation here is a bit more expanded...
read more
Eumir Deodato —
Ideias ... CD
Odeon/EMI (UK), 1964. New Copy ....
Early bossa magic from Deodato – cut years before his electric fusion albums in the 70s! This little gem shows Deodato to be quite the arranger – working in a small combo mode that mixes percussion, guitars, and horns with his own sweet piano and organ licks – grooving in a...

O Violao Do Heraldo Monte ... CD
London/Think (Japan), 1970. New Copy ....
A great guitar session from late 60s Brazil – bossa at its core, but with some other groovy touches too! Guitarist Heraldo Do Monte plays light acoustic, in a style that's right up there with Luiz Bonfa or Baden Powell – but the overall setting of the album also gives a nod towards...

Zeca Do Trombone —
Um Trombone Em Simonal ... CD
Atracao (Brazil), New Copy ....
Classic grooves of Wilson Simonal – redone here as jazzy instrumentals by Zeca Do Trombone! The trombone-heavy approach is mighty nice – and almost feels like the sort of tribute you might hear by Raul De Souza – served up with plenty of the lead instrument stepping out in soul,...

Domenico —
Cine Prive ... CD
Plug Research, 2011. New Copy ....
A groovy little record from Domenico – one that's got the same best elements of his music with Moreno Veloso and Kassin, but which almost has a more intimate feel overall! Most tunes here have a relatively tight song structure – almost always with lyrics by Domenico, although Moreno...

Joao Donato —
Leiliadas ... CD
Elektra (Brazil), 1986. New Copy ....
An overlooked gem from keyboardist Joao Donato – cut in a mid 80s stretch when he was hardly doing any recording at all! The set's almost more of a jazz record than some of Donato's previous work – recorded with a warm vibe that's right up there with the best Brazilian fusion of the...

Strange and wonderful work from one of our favorite Brazilian artists – and a set that's put together with all the best complications of Egberto Gismonti's early years! The record is one of Gismonti's last true works of genius – and it hearkens back to the sound and style used on some...

Odeon/Bomba (Japan), 1981. New Copy ....
A beautiful set from the mighty Egberto Gismonti – as up-close and personal as you'd guess from the image on the cover! The set's a bit less wild than some of Egberto's 70s material, yet it's still a lot fuller and more jazz-based than any of his recordings for ECM too – lots of right...

Excellent work from Jorginho Do Imperio – a lesser-known sambista from 70s Brazil, but one who really shines brightly on this rare little set! There's a beautifully stripped-down feel to the whole thing – just Jorginho's rich vocals in the lead, and loads of lively instrumental work on...

I'm having an issue with lighting. Lighting in a minute space with very few resources. Anyone know any good books on lighting I could look into? I've looked them up myself. But I'd like to see if anyone has any preferences.

The attentionworthy, the craveworthy and perhaps the occasional unsavory, in and around Columbus, OHIO...capital city...sleeper hottie of the midwest.
My #1 favorite thing about the Off The Grid event at The Wexner Center for The Arts is people watching. There are always a slew of partygoers wearing something extra-fancy: floral dress shirts, jewel-toned dress pants and stylish accessories line the gallery spaces and the dance floor (I'm speaking menswear, by the way). A week-long case of Vertigo cut my night very short, unfortunately, but check out the night's 3D photo booth pics by Blair Perry here and pics by Rachael Barbash here! Proceeds benefit The Wex's fantastic educational programs.

1. You accept the validity of the law of non-contradiction

Because you have just made a non-demonstrable claim. It is always possible to make universal claims such as that all valid claims must be non-contradictory as long as one is not claiming that such claims must be demonstrable.
Yes, I accept the validity of the law of non-contradiction because it's demonstrably true.You can make no such claim; you suggest that it need not be demonstrably true, so somewhere, in some form -- it might NOT be true, intuitively or otherwise.
You say that all claims need NOT be demonstrable. Why do I take your word for this claim, unless you somehow have experienced all existence to know that your assertion is valid? Until you do that, you need not make any such universal claims.

Now, as You all may have tried to see in the thread that got axed, for what reason, I do not know.
I tried to relay a message to Howard.
Howard in 2000, when some CART guys were making rumblings about coming over, I said, hey thats awesome, wed have all these drivers and they would be there, HUGE fields.
Howard said, that I was nieve, the owners would shut out the little teams, raise costs, and fill the field with foreign drivers.
I was my usual disrespectfull self, calling him an idiot, shut up old timer blah blah blah.
Now, the state of the IRL now, is CART era 95.
What hurts me the most, is when the CART trolls, and Howard told me what would happen, but I didnt believe it would.
Thats why Im disenfranchised, thats why I will not be attending the Indy 500 for the first time since 93.
This is why I watch my San Antonio Spurs religously, instead of flipping over ot INDy Practice, (oh pardon me, cant quite get that on TV anymore)
What the CART guys said about George did it for power??
****, they were right. That hurts to admit.

Back to Regular Story Page
Section: Kits Merryman
Her spirit of generosity lives on through St. Francis House
Doris Michalek was a young Air Force wife, shopping with her children at an open air grocery market in Brazil when a man approached her. He, his wife and two children had just come down from the mountains, he told her, and had no money for food. Would she give him some?
The growing Michalek family lived on a supply sergeant's budget, and she was afraid of what her husband would think if she gave money to strangers.
"No," she told the mountain family.
That refusal haunted her. It shaped her life, and her family's mission.
In the family home, then through St. Francis House in downtown Puyallup, that mission has clothed, fed and comforted tens of thousands of people for half a century.
"She never got over the feeling of saying no, because she was afraid to say yes," said her daughter, Sister Patricia Michalek, OSF.
Doris Michalek, who, with her husband, Stan, founded St. Francis House in 1974, died Thursday. She was 93. Her husband died in 2000.
She had been ill and was ready, said Sister Pat, who is St. Francis House director. With faith as strong as Doris Michalek's, there is some joy in that. Still, volunteers at St. Francis House clothing bank Tuesday felt the loss.
"She is my mom from my heart," said Musa Kalis, 71, of Sumner, while he and his wife, Hanneh, delivered bleach for the clothing bank.
Born in Bethlehem and raised in Jordan, Kalis arrived in Puyallup in 1971 as an immigrant with no place to live and no job.
"I went to the church, and father told me to go to that lady," he said.
Right away, "that lady" settled him in an apartment and steered him to a job.
"Every other day, I found a bag of food at my apartment, and I knew there is somebody who cares for me," Kalis said.
It was the same for Asians, Russians, Moldovans, Ukrainians and Hispanics who began new lives in Pierce County with help from St. Francis House.
It was the same for anyone who ventured into the Michaleks' five-bedroom house on Pioneer Way. The seven Michalek kids always made room for foster children and foreign students. Their front porch was always stacked with appliances, furniture, linens and clothes.
"People would drop things off on our porch, and people who needed things would come and look and take," Sister Pat said of the informal clothing and furniture bank.
"The porch was very hard on him," Sister Pat said of her ultra-organized father. "My mom enjoyed the creative chaos."
"She was a kind and giving person," said Mary Melton, one of Michalek's six surviving children. "That was her joy in life."
Michalek was always out to help others find that same joy.
A person who met her at Christmas time would end up buying presents for strangers. Last year, St. Francis House's Christmas Corner provided gifts to 1,100 families.
A person with idle evenings would end up cooking and serving at St. Francis House's free dinners for 50-60 people five times a week.
"She was always working on someone," said Sister Pat.
And she was always working on city and county officials, urging them to recognize needs it was more pleasant to ignore.
"When something wasn't right, she would go to the city council, the archdiocese and pretty much demand that they do something," Sister Pat said.
That has led to more volunteers and better programs.
At St. Francis House, the Michaleks and their volunteers expanded the clothing bank, added English classes and collaborated with other agencies.
Over the past three years, Sister Pat led a capital program that brought in $1 million to build a proper storage area for donations, plus an office building for staff and volunteers. The program lends office space to Tacoma-based non-profits, notably Associated Ministries Access Point for Housing, to make services accessible to people in East Pierce County.
That pleased Michalek, who would wrap up in an afghan and read in "Doris' Book Shoppe" at the new building's entrance.
When people visited, she welcomed them as they accepted the gifts of a thousand donors and volunteers who, in her spirit, express their faith through service. firstname.lastname@example.com

General Mills always seems to be up to something fun, and earlier this month they invited a few bloggers to create a fun holiday-themed cookie recipe using a Pillsbury cookie dough roll. With the chance of the recipe being on Pillsbury.com (Update: This recipe and the other bloggers' submissions are now on Pillsbury.com. Follow the link to check out all the delicious goodness!), I couldn't resist and decided to participate. We could choose to use any of the following Pillsbury cookie doughs: sugar, gingerbread, chocolate chip, peanut butter, or peppermint.
Being the sugar cookie addict that I am, I naturally opted to use the sugar cookie dough. Sugar cookies have long been a holiday tradition at my house, one that I hope my kids continue and pass down to their own families someday.
As part of our cookie submission, General Mills also asked us to make it kid friendly so that moms (or dads!) can make it at home with their kids. For those of you who read my blog regularly, you already know that I love cooking with my little girls. They're especially fond of any recipe that lets them play with dough.
This particular Christmas cookie idea combines two of my children's favorite things. The first is making dough snakes. My kids jump at the chance to make them, and believe me, we can play that game for hours. The second is suckers. Their love for suckers nearly surpasses my own for sugar cookies.

Isn't 2 already many? Yeah Canada shouldn't miss this chance of getting a slot in MU and while Selena is still a 'trend'. But on little downside if Dajana will win, I can see that she looks like this year's Miss Finland at some angles. But nevermind, she will do good in MU.

Geert Wilders switches from hating Muslims to E.Europeans
Quote: Link to site

Old news. He didn't switch btw, he now hates Muslims and Eastern Europeans. There's this dutch-polish rapper who made a similar site asking people to share all their good experiences with Eastern Europeans, pretty awesome. The site has also weakened the government as there is one guy from the PVV who left the party because of it; so hopefully this all leads to the fall of our right-wing cabinet.
Terror without virtue is fatal; virtue without terror is impotent.
It's not a switch, but I do think he's milked the anti-Islamic cow for all it's worth. Just like his previous proposal of a "head-rag tax" (a tax on women wearing the veil, yes really), it earned him widespread condemnation in the press, but it certainly didn't hurt him in the polls.
What did hurt in the polls was the power struggle with Brinkman, one of the other MPs of his party, who ended up leaving the party while keeping his seat. Brinkman wanted a more "democratic" party structure that everyone could join (instead of just a parliamentary group based on Wilders's leadership), including a youth wing. After 6 years of being in the PVV, Brinkman also came to the conclusion that the PVV stigmatises certain groups too much. Like the PVV, Brinkman will keep supporting the government in principle, but you never know for sure. So now the government is also sucking up to the tiny orthodox protestant party SGP to be guaranteed a majority. So this "minority cabinet/majority support" construction is becoming increasingly silly. If they are going to depend on the SGP, this will probably mean the maintenance of the (redundant) blasphemy law, no expansion of Sunday shopping, and other concessions on things that the vast majority of the country disagrees with the SGP on. What a wonderful country!
I fully support the ban on Sunday shopping though.
In Yugoslavia at least no store worked on Sunday, it was a very respected day.
There are two aspects to that discussion: the religious aspect and the workers' rights aspects. This is an area in which socialist and christian parties have often marched together in parliament. Probably the fairest solution here would be to not ban Sunday shopping (certainly not for religious reasons anyway), but to still keep some kind of secular "special status" for Sundays so that you don't suddenly add a 7th working day for regular pay, effectively abolishing the idea that workers should have one resting day per week.
This of course adds the problem that small businesses will find it much harder to open op on Sunday, especially when they have to pay more. So it's not perfect and it's a rather difficult issue. The Christian parties don't give a damn though, they just want to make sure that everyone lives by their standards.
So, what's with E.Europeans in the Netherlands anyway?
Why are people hating them so much (besides the usual "they took our jobs" story...)? I read that there are only like 100k E.Europeans in the country of over 15 million.

Well, since (especially Polish) Eastern European workers have to do shitty jobs for a low pay, they drink a lot, and some Dutch people think they have a monopoly on walking the streets drunk. Anyway, I think it's just a distraction from the real problem. I have Polish people living above me and I can say I've never had any trouble with them, they're very kind to me and they seem to be working all the time. Wilders just needs to exploit reactionary feelings and when Muslims don't work that well anymore, it's off to another people.
Terror without virtue is fatal; virtue without terror is impotent.

But at least they really did only target the economic implications, and they warned against polarisation instead of encouraging it. Anyway, they're also often linked to organised crime, drunkenness and problems related to integration and housing (squatting a house and completely fragging up the neighbourhood, that kind of stuff). I wouldn't know anything about it though. I've literally never met a Central or Eastern European guest worker before. Every once in a while, you read a report about one of the above things, but I'm fairly certain that there are more pressing social problems. But like with the agitation against Turkish and Moroccan immigrants, it's just another way of scoring some cheap votes from people who have (indirectly) experienced these problems. But then again, I've never had a problem with a Turk or a Moroccan in my life either. On the slightly longer term, the true problem is of course that we've got this "European integration" between countries which are radically different from each other in terms of wages on one hand, and living expenses on the other. If I were a Polish or Romanian worker with little to no prospects, I know what I'd do as well. But why do something concrete about that when you can just rant and rave about them instead? The whole thing is getting a bit embarrassing for the government parties though. At home, the Prime Minister can simply put on a smile and say that party political decisions are not his problem, even if his government happens to depend on that party; in Europe, they don't care for such nuances: http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/dutch ... ird-degree It used to be that the Netherlands considered itself a "guiding country" in terms of progressiveness, with an almost too arrogant leftish moralism. Now, on the international scale, this government has relegated us to the level of some Hungarian elected dictator who happily meddles with the independent press and judiciary: a naughty schoolboy who has to answer for his actions. At least Orbán actually went and addressed the European Parliament, but I don't think Rutte is going to go to Canossa any time soon. Pretty embarrassing stuff.
Well, IMO there's nothing wrong with deporting a number of troublemakers back to Poland (or any other country).
If they don't want to behave properly according to Dutch rules, they should be sent back to where they came from. It will do good for the rest of Polish immigrants' community. Just an anecdote. In 70s Yugoslavia schooled a lot of Lybian pilots, who were a bit wild. When Gadaffi came to visit them, the local commander complained that they're misbehaving. Gadaffi then smacked the leader of the group and threatened to have them deported back home immediately. After that episode the Yugoslavs had no more complaints about young Lybians. GDR also didn't tolerate immigrants misbehaving, from what i heard. Deporting the most prominent troublemakers will be a step towards solving the issues with xenophobia which seem to be dividing the workings class of Netherlands.
Well of course, Yugoslavia and Libya could be seen as exchange between fraternal Non-Aligned nations. With the Netherlands and Poland, it's not quite like that.
Anyway, looks like our government construction is not long for this world: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/ ... story.html Funnily enough, Wilders might actually be the one to put all the austerity plans on hold for the near future.
I for one don't sympathise with Western racists. That Frag Wilders should die.
Troublemakers? It is the Dutch burgeoise that is the troublemakers. And people in Central and Eastern Europe are not brutish simpletons. The average person in Moldova has gone through the same amount of years of school as the average Frenchman. On the other hand, almost half people in the US think evolution is false. Loz, stop being a fragging uncle Sam and idealizing German and Western European culture. Let's make a website where people can write down the effects of Western capitalist influence on their countries. I am sure it will include more than walking drunken on the street. Hope Geert Wilders dies of fragging cancer. Quote: Yes, tell me all about it, as if i weren't from EE. Quote: That's not the point, and i don't see how is this relevant to what i said. Although i agree with you. Quote: I'm not idealizing anything, i'm just being objective. Compare "my" or Polish culture with the German one. Quote: That's irrelevant. But what about organized crime, drugs and so on? Balkan emigrants "made a name for themselves" in the 90s when they came to Scandianavian countries and simply raped their "system" (for example, before 1990s Norwegians didn't even know what illegal building was, or that someone would take more than 1 pair of newspapers from the machine, and so on and so on...) IMO, these countries could have freely deported these troublemakers. |

Location: Rochester, NY
Years owned: 2
Satisfaction Rating:
"Outstanding machines!"
The modulating, variable speed Contour by Rheem is quite a machine! I had several quotes for the Rheem as did my neighbor, I went with the contractor that was highest priced and got a perfect install, and my neighbor went for the lowest bid and got screwed. These machines are not a finished product out of the box, they are finished by the contractor installing them. Install them properly and they do all that they're supposed to. My contour heats my house like no other typical furnace could!
Location: Champlin, Minnesota
Years owned: 23
Satisfaction Rating:
"Rheem 80+"
Had the unit for 23 years still working fine. I did have some issue with the electronic ignition in the second year. I replaced the crappy Robert- Shaw electronics with Honeywell. I think at the time the upgrade cost me about $100 bucks from the ww Grainger catalogue. I am replacing it with a new Rheem rgfd07 modulating furnace and rand024 air conditioner with R-22.(don't like the new freon) The salesman said the new unit has all Honeywell controls.
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah
Years owned: 26
Satisfaction Rating:
Very solid unit. It has lasted 26 years. Of course its not the quietest or most efficient furnace out there but lasting for 26 years is impressive.
Location: Mound, MN
Years owned: 20
Satisfaction Rating:
Our Rheem 80Plus came with our home when we purchased it 12 years ago. No problems with it during that time. Now it is 20 years old and a motor sound like it is dieing. Will probably replace with another Rheem if the efficiency and price is right.
Location: Addison, IL
Years owned: 1
Satisfaction Rating:
i would never go with anything else. my last Rheem furnace lasted 22 years.

The Risk Intelligent Board: Viewing the World Through Risk-Colored GlassesIssue No. 12 in the Risk Intelligence series |
Boards are under pressure – regulatory, legal, fiduciary, stakeholder – to oversee the risk management activities of the company.
But many board members are unsure how to approach their risk-related responsibilities. They are uncertain about roles and delineation of responsibility. They wonder where to start and how to bring all the disparate pieces together. They look for answers to important questions such as: Where does risk oversight belong at the board level?
The latest title in our series provides a thoughtful perspective on the risk management issues boards should be concerned with and offers concrete suggestions for adopting a Risk Intelligent approach.

School District Announces Budget, Proposed CutsSuperintendent says teachers' jobs won't be cutANCHORAGE - The Anchorage School District said it needs to fill a $25 million budget gap for next year, and Friday the administration came out with the cuts it's proposing to make that happen. District Superintendent Jim Browder said they looked first at their own administrative staff, an area that is often criticized for being top-heavy. The plan is to reduce jobs there by 8 percent. Browder said one area that won't see cuts are classroom teachers. "Our focus is clearly on the classroom, and if you look at the reductions you'll see a real clear understanding that we are avoiding that at all costs," said Browder. But individual schools will feel cuts. Many of the positions eliminated are teacher's assistants. Browder said the district has more people in that job than it needs. "If you look at best practices and do comparables with other districts in the nation," said Browder, "our number is extremely high. So, through attrition, we hope to get that back into a manageable number." Attrition is a big part of the budget plan. Brower said if pink slips were handed out tomorrow, about 100 people would lose their jobs. Browder said he is hoping that by the time next school year starts, that retirements and moves will bring that number down to 50. But officials said the bigger problem remains: the fact that the state has not increased the school funding formula while fixed costs for school districts continue to rise. Without some sort of inflation proofing, districts say, budget gaps will continue to grow every year. Anchorage School Board President Jeannie Mackie said in the coming years, those gaps won't be filled by attrition alone. "We do have difficult years from now on out, and there is only so long that we are going to be able to balance the budget using managed attrition as we have here today," said Mackie. "Tough times are ahead." Browder said he'd like to see more money from Juneau, but also feels a responsibility to work with the dollars he has. He said one thing that would help is if teachers and other unions would pledge to take a pay freeze for next year. He said he plans to ask them that question next week. As for the coming year, Browder said parents shouldn't worry. He said the cuts should not affect their child's education in a negative way, and that the district is more focused than ever on meeting improvement goals by 2020. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Saturday, Jan 19 at 8:17 PM These cuts are a huge mistake if one truly cares about good education for all of our children. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Jan 20 at 1:36 PM Keep cutting the overhead if one truly cares about great education for the kids. Cut stupid jobs like field trip coordinator and other wasted jobs that could be handled in 10 mins by anyone. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Jan 20 at 11:38 PM Cut it, cut it now, and keep cutting. What a waste, what is it like 17,500 per child now or 20,000? KTVA left that out. Needs to be within 1000 of what the private sector can do. Shut down the ASD. Do it now before the city/state/Feds spend one more dime. If they don't shape up we will all be broke trying to fund a sub standard failing school system. Guess what percentage of kids have to take remedial classes in college here before they can take one they get credit for? yah Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a commentMost Popular |

VIDEO: Mayor Driscoll on What the Salem Harbor Power Station Project Means for the City
Mayor Kim Driscoll says she aims to help create a site that, "for the next 40 or 50 years" Salemites can be proud of.
Mayor Kim Driscoll was among the more than 200 people who attended a Wednesday "Executive Breakfast" featuring the CEO of the company that aims to transform the city's coal-fired facility into a smaller, cleaner — and much better looking gas plant.
In this quick video, taken after Peter Furniss of Footprint Power spoke to a capacity crowd of more than 200 at Tuesday morning's North Shore Chamber of Commerce Executive Breakfast Forum, Driscoll gives a snapshot of what the project means to Salem.

I have an idea... How about if we just tear down that horrible eyesore of a power plant altogether?

Kim's plan is simple,sub out everything. A company from Taunton cuts the grass in our parks,our tax bills go to Woburn,most public works projects are out sourced and it goes on and on. She fights every union and usually looses. She is the reason the transfer station is not resolved,she is hard headed and it's her way or the highway. We find money for everything except the transfer station. I remmember when Salem hired veterens. She should be ashamed of herself.

Most cities and towns are now contracting out public works duties, it's just a smarter way to spend our tax money.

I hope jeanmarie is ashamed of her comments, how tasteless. Between Washington Street and this plant though are many residents who have to fight to park on residential streets. How about any enforcement?

Would you have made the same comment, jeanmarie, about a male politician?
Would you have made that same comment using your full name and photo?

John Kerry looks more and more like Mr. Ed every time I see him. Driscolls problem is she babbles and is never willing to take responsability for her mistakes.

I'll tell you what is tasteless is out sourcing average joe jobs while administrators make $100k plus.Look at the different city depatrments and see how many employees work in each one and explain why our tax and water and excise payments got to a third party in Woburn. Also what is going on with the new police cruisers? It seems like every 6 months they get replaced. I remmember when our police cars lasted years.Public works vehicles all smashed up,from what? How much does the mayor and her staff make per year? Viscay was making $90k plus at a city job? The fire chief has a personal trail blazer, for what? Why does the mayor need a car? She should not even leave the city. All the police captians have cars,why? Why do we constantly see city DPW workers at work sites with private contractors? If all these things are cost saving measures then why do our taxes go up ever year? Salem is up to it's ears in nonsense.

Collective cell migration relies on a directional signal that comes from the moving cluster, rather than from external cues.
A handful of species have learned how to survive in freezing climates. To do so, the animals must counteract the damaging effects of ice crystal formation, or keep from freezing altogether. Here are a few ways they do it.
Watch the cell transplant experiments in zebrafish that suggest certain embryonic cells rely on intrinsic directional cues for collective migration.
