B-minus for the Bishops, but bloody good effort!
It's not very often I praise our Conference of Bishops; but...
Well done!!!
About bleeding time!!!
...and thanks be to God that you've finally understood what this issue's about.
Of course there are some reservations in its construction and I'd have preferred more emphasis on the imperative issue that the differences between proposed legislation for heterosexual and same-sex marriage cannot last under future equality appeals [already there are husbands claiming discrimination over divorce claims on grounds of adultery for which same-sex partners will not be liable - and annulment on grounds of non-consummation for heterosexuals cannot endure as it is prejudicial]
The ultimate results will be marriage abolition and it will be replaced with an equivalent version of civil partnerships for heterosexuals - it will simply be named marriage.
Plus the letter has very relevant points which are merely present as conditionals and qualifications which are sometimes misplaced and not present where the argument demands them - but finally we have a document where upon close scrutiny - the message is being delivered!
It's a pity it isn't as clear as the situation desperately demands [so much can be missed on a peripheral browsing] but the opening paragrahs are excellent and finally it's possible that some waverers might just realise what we're actually arguing for once and we aren't the belligerent evil homophobes as represented in the media.
Nevertheless we still need to pray long and hard for a miracle - but at least now we recognise the dire consequences. [Previously there was so much bewailing and utilitarian appeals to society's benefits/detriments rather than addressing the crucial fundamental aspects of what's really happening - a rupture in the hermeneutic of Love and Life within a family]

Ladies & Gentlemen: Don't Think Backwards!!!
{ This is probably among my ten favourite essays of all time}
The man who thinks backwards is a very powerful person to-day: indeed,if he is not omnipotent, he is at least omnipresent.
It is he who writes nearly all the learned books and articles, especially of the scientific or skeptical sort; all the articles on Eugenics and Social Evolution and Prison Reform and the Higher Criticism and all the rest of it.
But especially it is this strange and tortuous being who does most of the writing about female emancipation and the reconsidering of marriage.
For the man who thinks backwards is very frequently a woman.
Thinking backwards is not quite easy to define abstractedly;and, perhaps, the simplest method is to take some object, as plain as possible, and from it illustrate the two modes of thought:the right mode in which all real results have been rooted;the wrong mode, which is confusing all our current discussions,especially our discussions about the relations of the sexes.
Casting my eye round the room, I notice an object which is often mentioned in the higher and subtler of these debates about the sexes: I mean a poker.
I will take a poker and think about it;
first forwards and then backwards;
and so, perhaps, show what I mean.
The sage desiring to think well and wisely about a poker will begin somewhat as follows:
Among the live creatures that crawl about this star the queerest is the thing called Man.
This plucked and plumeless bird, comic and forlorn,is the butt of all the philosophies. He is the only naked animal;and this quality, once, it is said, his glory, is now his shame.He has to go outside himself for everything that he wants.He might almost be considered as an absent-minded person who had gone bathing and left his clothes everywhere, so that he has hung his hat upon the beaver and his coat upon the sheep.The rabbit has white warmth for a waistcoat, and the glow-worm has a lantern for a head. But man has no heat in his hide,and the light in his body is darkness; and he must look for light and warmth in the wild, cold universe in which he is cast.
This is equally true of his soul and of his body; he is the one creature that has lost his heart as much as he has lost his hide.In a spiritual sense he has taken leave of his senses;and even in a literal sense he has been unable to keep his hair on.
And just as this external need of his has lit in his dark brain the dreadful star called religion,so it has lit in his hand the only adequate symbol of it: I mean the red flower called Fire.
Fire, the most magicand startling of all material things, is a thing known only to man and the expression of his sublime externalism.It embodies all that is human in his hearths and all that isdivine on his altars. It is the most, human thing in the world;seen across wastes of marsh or medleys of forest, it is veritably the purple and golden flag of the sons of Eve. But there is about this generous and rejoicing thing an alien and awful quality:the quality of torture. Its presence is life; its touch is death.Therefore, it is always necessary to have an intermediary between ourselves and this dreadful deity; to have a priest to intercede for us with the god of life and death;to send an ambassador to the fire.
That priest is the poker.Made of a material more merciless and warlike than the otherinstruments of domesticity, hammered on the anvil and born itself in the flame, the poker is strong enough to enter the burning fiery furnace, and, like the holy children, not be consumed.In this heroic service it is often battered and twisted,but is the more honourable for it, like any other soldier who has been under fire.Now all this may sound very fanciful and mystical, but it isthe right view of pokers, and no one who takes it will ever go in for any wrong view of pokers, such as using them to beat one's wifeor torture one's children, or even (though that is more excusable)to make a policeman jump, as the clown does in the pantomime.
He who has thus gone back to the beginning, and seen everything as quaint and new, will always see things in their right order,the one depending on the other in degree of purpose and importance:the poker for the fire and the fire for the man and the man for the glory of God.
This is thinking forwards.
Now our modern discussions about everything, Imperialism, Socialism, or Votes for Women,are all entangled in an opposite train of thought, which runs as follows:-
A modern intellectual comes in and sees a poker.
He is a positivist; he will not begin with any dogmas aboutthe nature of man, or any day-dreams about the mystery of fire.
He will begin with what he can see, the poker; and the first thing he sees about the poker is that it is crooked.
He says, "Poor poker; it's crooked."
Then he asks how it cameto be crooked; and is told that there is a thing in the world(with which his temperament has hitherto left him unacquainted)--a thing called fire.
He points out, very kindly and clearly,how silly it is of people, if they want a straight poker, to put it into a chemical combustion which will very probably heat and warp it.
"Let us abolish fire," he says, "and then we shall have perfectly straight pokers.
Why should you want a fire at all?"
They explain to him that a creature called Man wants a fire,because he has no fur or feathers.
He gazes dreamily at the embers for a few seconds, and then shakes his head."I doubt if such an animal is worth preserving," he says."He must eventually go under in the cosmic struggle when pitted against well-armoured and warmly protected species, who have wingsand trunks and spires and scales and horns and shaggy hair....
...If Man cannot live without these luxuries, you had better abolish Man."
At this point, as a rule, the crowd is convinced;it heaves up all its clubs and axes, and abolishes him.
At least, one of him.
Before we begin discussing our various new plans for the people's welfare, let us make a kind of agreement that we will argue in a straightforward way, and not in a tail-foremost way.
The typical modern movements may be right; but let them be defended because they are right, not because they are typical modern movements.
Let us begin with the actual woman or man in the street,who is cold; like mankind before the finding of fire.
Do not let us begin with the end of the last red-hot discussion--like the end of a redhot poker.
Imperialism may be right. But if it is right, it is right because England has some divine authority like Israel, or some human authority like Rome;not because we have saddled ourselves with South Africa,and don't know how to get rid of it.
Socialism may be true. But if it is true, it is true because the tribe or the city can really declare all land to be common land, not because Harrod's Stores exist and the commonwealth must copy them.
Female suffrage may be just. But if it is just, it is just because women are women, not because women are sweated workers and whiteslaves and all sorts of things that they ought never to have been.
Let not the Imperialist accept a colony because it is there,
nor the Suffragist seize a vote because it is lying about,
nor the Socialist buy up an industry merely because it is for sale.
Let us ask ourselves first what we really do want,
not what recent legal decisions have told us to want,
or recent logical philosophies' proved that we must want,
or recent social prophecies predicted that we shall some day want.
If there must be a British Empire,let it be British, and not, in mere panic, American or Prussian.
If there ought to be female suffrage, let it be female, and not a mere imitation as coarse as the male blackguard or as dull as the male clerk.
If there is to be Socialism, let it be social; that is, as different as possible from all the big commercial departments of to-day.
The really good journeyman tailor does not cut his coat according to his cloth;he asks for more cloth.
The really practical statesman does not fit himself to existing conditions, he denounces the conditions as unfit.
History is like some deeply planted tree which, though gigantic in girth,tapers away at last into tiny twigs; and we are in the topmost branches.
Each of us is trying to bend the tree by a twig: to alter England through a distant colony, or to capture the State through a small State department, or to destroy all voting through a vote.
In all such bewilderment he is wise who resists this temptation of trivial triumph or surrender, and happy (in an echo of the Roman poet)who remembers the roots of things.

Solidarity vs Negotiation & Compromise #2
THE WOLVES thus addressed the Sheepdogs: "Why should you, who are like us in so many things, not be entirely of one mind with us, and live with us as brothers should?
We differ from you in one point only.
We live in freedom, but you bow down to and slave for men, who in return for your services flog you with whips and put collars on your necks. They make you also guard their sheep, and while they eat the mutton throw only the bones to you.
If you will be persuaded by us, you will give us the sheep, and we will enjoy them in common, till we all are surfeited."
The Dogs listened favorably to these proposals, and, entering the den of the Wolves, the wolves sealed the entrance and circled the sheepdogs.
"Fools! If you were so willing to betray the human who has fed you, and the sheep you protect, what makes you think we could ever trust you ?
Because of your treachery we will eat the sheep,
we will eat the humans,
but first we will eat you !"
Because of your treachery we will eat the sheep,
we will eat the humans,
but first we will eat you !"
Too late to change their fate ; the sheepdogs were set upon and torn to pieces.

Solidarity vs Negotiation & Compromise #1
A man went into the wood and asked the trees for a piece of wood;
The trees had been congenial enough with humankind for thousands of years,
but recently ?
they had begun to fear them...
The trees held conference.
"If we do not give him what he wants ; he may come back and take more than he has asked for ! - we should do what he wants !"
"Give him the youngest and weakest sapling ; the human will go away content ; and we shall be left in peace..."
So the trees moved apart, swaying their threatening branches aside and allowed the man to take the single sapling.
The man stripped the bark from the sapling, broke it to a manageable size and attached his axe head to the newly made handle....
Soon he would return to take all the trees....

Accusations of being Utilitarian & Not Christian
Someone has just contacted me in exultant glee that they've discovered a massive flaw in my argumentation regarding marriage; and in almost paroxysms of ecstasy has cited another blogger who has accused those of holding my oft-cited position regarding the unitive and procreative aspects of marriage...
i.e. That the Purpose/Nature/Essence of Marriage is a Loving Union: The Aim/End/Telos is Procreation
...of being Utilitarian and Not-Christian!!!!
In denunciation of my position [and some belief that they've found the highest authority to disprove my case] they've decided to cite Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum on marriage where it says
In choosing a state of life, it is indisputable that all are at full liberty to follow the counsel of Jesus Christ as to observing virginity, or to bind themselves by the marriage tie. No human law can abolish the natural and original right of marriage, nor in any way limit the chief and principal purpose of marriage ordained by God's authority from the beginning: "Increase and multiply."(Genesis 1:28) Hence we have the family, the "society" of a man's house – a society very small, one must admit, but none the less a true society, and one older than any State. Consequently, it has rights and duties peculiar to itself which are quite independent of the State.
Now I'm sorry to go all 'technical and get bogged down with theology and semantics but this is SO important and I'll explain why:
The problem is the English [mis]Translation of Rerum Novarum - which says 'principal purpose'
Therefore some readers will misinterpret this to mean 'the purpose of marriage' [i.e. what it is- what it does-what it can't be without]
Pope Leo XIII WAS NOT SAYING THE PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE WAS HAVING AND REARING CHILDREN
Principal Purpose refers not to the 1st Perfection of Marriage - Loving Unification ; but to the 2nd Perfection of Marriage - i.e. for that Love to Overflow and be open to God's Gift of Life in the bearing and raising of Children to form a single-nature family reflecting/emulating the Nature of Love in the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity.
Rather His Holiness was saying that's the AIM OF MARRIAGE.
To confirm this we need only appeal to other translations of Rerum Novarum
The Italian uses Scopo [Target/Aim],
French 'Fin principale' [End],
Portuguese 'Fim'[End],
Spanish 'Finalidad'[End]
In other words what 'Principal Purpose' is really referring to is the AIM - the intention towards the end - not purpose in its 'ratio esse' - in other words what it can't be without.
Aquinas explains the purpose as a 1st perfection in its form [i.e. a loving union] and the 2nd perfection in its operation towards its end [having and rearing children]
Because if we don't get purpose and aim in the right perspective and category we can inadvertently define Our Lady and St Joseph as not married - and proscribe the infertile/menopausal from ever marrying as they fail to meet the criteria of the purpose/nature/very meaning in its essence!!!
Let's refer to the Angelic Doctor:-
Summa Theologica III,29,2
I answer that, Marriage or wedlock is said to be true by reason of its attaining its perfection.
Now perfection of anything is twofold; first, and second.
The first perfection of a thing consists in its very form, from which it receives its species;
while the second perfection of a thing consists in its operation, by which in some way a thing attains its end.
Now the form of matrimony consists in a certain inseparable union of souls, by which husband and wife are pledged by a bond of mutual affection that cannot be sundered.
And the end of matrimony is the begetting and upbringing of children: the first of which is attained by conjugal intercourse; the second by the other duties of husband and wife, by which they help one another in rearing their offspring.
Thus we may say, as to the first perfection, that the marriage of the Virgin Mother of God and Joseph was absolutely true: because both consented to the nuptial bond, but not expressly to the bond of the flesh, save on the condition that it was pleasing to God.
For this reason the angel calls Mary the wife of Joseph, saying to him (Matthew 1:20): "Fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife": on which words Augustine says (De Nup. et Concup. i): "She is called his wife from the first promise of her espousals, whom he had not known nor ever was to know by carnal intercourse."
But as to the second perfection which is attained by the marriage act, if this be referred to carnal intercourse, by which children are begotten; thus this marriage was not consummated.
Wherefore Ambrose says on Luke 1:26-27: "Be not surprised that Scripture calls Mary a wife. The fact of her marriage is declared, not to insinuate the loss of virginity, but to witness to the reality of the union."
Nevertheless, this marriage had the second perfection, as to upbringing of the child. Thus Augustine says (De Nup. et Concup. i): "All the nuptial blessings are fulfilled in the marriage of Christ's parents, offspring, faith and sacrament.
The offspring we know to have been the Lord Jesus; faith, for there was no adultery: sacrament, since there was no divorce. Carnal intercourse alone there was none."
Therefore in response to the wild accusations thrown in my direction I have to reply that Leo XIII and the entire Magisterial Teaching is very clear regarding the essence/nature/purpose of marriage and its aim/telos/end. One need only refer to Humanae Vitae & Casti Connubii to confirm this...
If one mistakes or substitutes the second perfection for the first...
[and regrettably many Catholic commentators and media representatives have committed this error]
....one inadvertently becomes utilitarian and in the process declares Our Lady & St Joseph as unmarried and prohibits any infertile or menopausal couples from marrying....
...which is very far from Christian teaching.
So in response to the false indictments against myself and others I am very far from sorry that the accuser is very much mistaken - and would reply that they sincerely need to stop throwing wild accusations around about people not following, advocating or promoting Catholic teaching - or of being Utilitarian - when it sadly a fault of the accuser - NOT the accused.

A prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas, in hopes for the grace towards a Devout Life
Grant me, O merciful God,
to desire eagerly,
to investigate prudently,
to acknowledge sincerely,
and to fulfill perfectly
those things that are pleasing to You,
to the praise and glory of Your Holy Name.
Do You, my God, order my life;
and grant that I may know what you would have me do;
and give me to fulfill it as is fitting and profitable to my soul.
Grant me, O Lord my God,
the grace not to fall either in prosperity or adversity,
that I be not unduly lifted up by the one,
nor unduly cast down by the other.
Let me neither rejoice nor grieve at anytime,
save in what leads to You
or leads away from You.
Let me not desire to please anyone,
nor fear to displease anyone
except You.
Let all things that pass away seem vile in my eyes,
and let all things that are eternal be dear to me.
Let me tire of that joy which is without You,
neither permit me to desire anything that is outside You.
Let me find joy in the labour that is for You;
and let all repose that is without You be tiresome to me.
Give me, my God, the grace to direct my heart towards You,
and to grieve continuously at my failures,
together with a firm purpose of amendment.
O Lord my God,
make me obedient without dispute,
poor without despondency,
chaste without stain,
patient without complaint,
humble without pretence,
cheerful without indulging the senses,
serious without being morose,
active without recklessness,
fearful of You without despair,
truthful without double-dealing,
devoted to good works without presumption,
ready to correct my neighbour without arrogance,
and to edify him by word and example, without hypocrisy.
Give me, Lord God,
a watchful heart which shall not be distracted from You by
vain thoughts;
give me a generous heart which shall not be drawn downward by any
unworthy affection;
give me an upright heart which shall not be led astray by any
perverse intention;
give me a stout heart which shall not be crushed by any adversity;
give me a free heart which shall not be claimed as its own by any
unregulated affection.
Bestow upon me, O Lord my God,
an understanding that knows You,
diligence in seeking You,
wisdom in finding You,
a way of life that is pleasing to You,
perseverance that faithfully waits for You,
and confidence that I shall embrace You at the last.
Grant that I may be chastised here by penance,
that I may make good use of Your gifts in this life by Your grace,
and that I may partake of Your joys in the glory of heaven:
Who lives and reigns;
world without end.

Can Catholics legally marry? Unforeseen Consequences of 'Equal Marriage' ?
[r/p after ;ast night's debacle]
As the new 'civil marriage' will be a universalised civil partnership which will no longer acknowledge any mandatory unifying aspect or consummation [or even fidelity or the possibility of adultery- let alone cohabitation and child-rearing]]
This means that the Church is now irreconcilably alienated from the civil marriage phenomenon and will have little choice other than to remove itself from the process:
The Sacramental Nuptial mass will have to singly retain the promises and obligations of marriage that the civil marriage has now lost...
Now this implies that we follow the two separate ceremony process that occurs in other countries [France, Canada , India etc]
Our new civil marriage is nothing remotely akin to any other country's civil marriage process - which retains unifying and consummation obligations...
So now we have the problem:
This 'new civil marriage" will invalidate all marriages between baptised non-Catholics [previously they were canonically valid as they made unifying promises and had consummation [i.e. they did as the Church does]]
...and will universally promote the 'living in sin' of all who participate within it - as well as giving equanimity to same-sex couples...
...these are enough grounds to consider this 'new civil marriage' an intrinsically unjust law...
...but Evangelium Vitae 73.2
In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia, it is therefore never licit to obey it, or to "take part in a propaganda campaign in favour of such a law, or vote for it".
& the Considerations
When legislation in favour of the recognition of homosexual unions is already in force, the Catholic politician must oppose it in the ways that are possible for him and make his opposition known; it is his duty to witness to the truth. If it is not possible to repeal such a law completely, the Catholic politician, recalling the indications contained in the Encyclical Letter Evangelium vitae, "could licitly support proposals aimed at limiting the harm done by such a law and at lessening its negative consequences at the level of general opinion and public morality", on condition that his "absolute personal opposition" to such laws was clear and well known and that the danger of scandal was avoided.(18) This does not mean that a more restrictive law in this area could be considered just or even acceptable; rather, it is a question of the legitimate and dutiful attempt to obtain at least the partial repeal of an unjust law when its total abrogation is not possible at the mom
Tell us that it is forbidden to perform formal or proximate material co-operation with an intrinsically unjust law
So here's the $64,000 question:
Will Catholics be forbidden from going through a 'new civil marriage' ceremony?
And thus have no legal recognition of being married?
And have none of its protection and provisions?
Will Catholics solely be allowed to marry in Church and be forbidden from being legally recognised as legally married by the State because they cannot sign a 'new civil marriage' contract?
Because it would be co-operation with an intrinsically unjust law?
So far I haven't received any reassuring response that this isn't the case...

Sacroiliac Joint Pain and Dysfunction
One of the most common causes of low back pain is dysfunction of the Sacroiliac joint (also knows as the SI joint). The sacroiliac joint is one of the largest joints in the body, and is an articulation of the sacrum and the iliac bone (a portion of the pelvis). This bone can become restricted in several ways such as acute trauma, repetitive motion, pregnancy, or poor posture.
When this joint becomes restricted it causes inflammation in the joint, which can cause a very sharp pain directly over the area. Due to the muscle attachments in the area, inflammation in the joint may also cause low back pain, hip pain, or even radiating pain in the leg. Any condition or injury to the leg that causes an altered stride can also affect the joint. For example an ankle injury can cause someone to alter the weight they put on that leg. This can cause more pressure on the opposite SI joint, rotation of the pelvis, or a functionally short leg. If the joint has suffered chronic restriction and inflammation this area can degenerate rapidly causing chronic low back pain that can cause an altered gate pattern or limp.
Treatment of Sacroiliac Joint Pain
At Mountain View Pain Center we can resolve this area quickly combining our chiropractic and physical therapy treatments. Our doctors will determine what has caused this dysfunction and develop a treatment plan that best suits you for quick and effective results. With our state of the art equipment we can remove the inflammation from the joint as well as decrease pain. This will allow the doctor to remove scar tissue and adhesions from the joint as well as restore full range of motion to the area. If you think you may be suffering from an sacroiliac joint dysfuntion, call us to get evaluated by one of the Chiropractors at Mountain View Pain Center.

Likely because anything less costs more to produce (or so much less it's pointless) due to age.

If you feel that you can safely confine the dog, please do so. You can call Livingston County Central Dispatch 517.546.9111 and an Animal Control Officer will be sent to your location. We will not send an officer out on a call for a loose dog that is not confined. Typically, by the time an officer arrives on the scene, the dog is gone. If you know who owns the loose dog, please give their address to an Animal Control Officer and they will go to the owner's home and speak with them about responsible pet ownership.
If you or your pet have been threatened by a dog coming off their property and it is unattended, please call us and we will send an Animal Control Officer out to investigate. You will need to have the address of dog's owner in order for us to send an Animal Control Officer.
If you think that you have a legitimate barking complaint, please contact your local municipality. Each city, village and townships has noise ordinances that they are responsible for enforcing. In order for our Animal Control Officers to investigate a barking dog, we must be able to witness the dog barking. Barking calls are not a high priority and will only be handled in between emergency calls.
No. Livingston County Animal Control and Shelter will not come out and pick up stray cats.
We will accept stray cats at the shelter from Livingston County residents who find cats in the country and bring them in. You can use a live trap from us if needed to catch the cat. ($50 refundable deposit)
Our Animal Control Officers only go out on calls involving cats if there is suspected abuse or neglect.

Siouxland has such a great communication with the fellow dentists in the community; it really kind of gives us our own fellowship, our own community, because we can bounce ideas off each other. Most patients say that they're impressed. They're impressed from the transition of how it went from getting them scheduled from my office to Siouxland; they're impressed with how they're met at the front desk, and they've got that welcome smile greeting when they come in. They're impressed with the level of knowledge of the assistants that help both Dr. George and Dr. Miller, and most importantly, they're impressed with the abilities of both Dr. George and Dr. Miller, and it really takes that level of worry off of myself because I know they're being taken care of.--Dr. Dewitte

A native IP infrastructure for live production that is both software and data centre-based and doesn't require gateway hardware or hybrid fixes is being shown at IBC.
Aperi's Live IP Media Function Virtualization (MFV) is built on an FPGA-based computing platform and uses open, standards-based software to replace traditional hardware functions with a virtual version of the live production environment.
When deployed in a studio or OB van it can allow function or workflow changes and updates to be made quickly by spinning up apps. It is also said to reduce the need for complex cabling and system configurations.
Chief executive Joop Janssen said: "Whether you need to spin up or down a channel or change to the latest media format,
Aperi offers instant deployment by starting and stopping software applications using lightweight virtual machines. There's no need to adapt or change the underlying common off-the-shelf compute and switch platform."
Available apps include audio and video compression codecs, multi-viewers, glueware, routing and test and measurement functions. Also at IBC, Aperi is showing 4K capabilities within remote production.

Top company lawyers take a pay hit
FORTUNE — Top company lawyers make great money, but their compensation has taken a sizeable hit recently, even as corporate coffers bulge. And last year's surprising 30% drop in overall compensation for in-house counsel could ripple out and set the stage for CEO pay to be the next belt-tightening measure in the corner office.
Dozens of chief legal officers named in the newly released Corporate Counsel pay survey still made well over $1 million last year. But the overall plunge in legal officer compensation packages has sprung from the still-uncertain economy and pressure from shareholders who want more demonstrable links between performance and pay.
The blockbuster 28.7% rise in cash bonuses in 2010, according to the survey in the August issue of Corporate Counsel, was knocked aside last year when cash bonuses sank 7.7% to an average of $1.13 million, for chief legal officers.
MORE: Specialty MBAs: Faster and cheaper than the 'real thing'
"The drop reflects the retrenchment in the larger economy," says James Wilber, a principal at Altman-Weil, a legal management consulting firm. "You saw significant compensation increases in 2010 because people thought the recovery was beginning, and issues like what is happening in Europe were not even on the radar. Now it is becoming common to see companies giving less guaranteed money."
Last year, corporate counsels saw their salaries dip by 1.8% to an average of $611,411. In addition to the decline in cash compensation — which the survey ranked — the average stock award for the highest-level legal beagle fell by 10.8%, to $1.43 million, and the average stock option award dropped by 18.7%, to $732,453.
Annual cash awards had been used by companies to reward upfront performance without being committed to a defined salary level for the executive's entire tenure — a kind of insurance against slipups like an affair with an underling or padding travel expenses.
Even so, chief legal officers did very well for themselves. David Bernick of Philip Morris International, Inc. (PM), who has since resigned, had the highest salary, $1.6 million last year. Russell Deyo, general counsel at giant Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), received cash compensation of $4.9 million.
CBS Corp.'s (CBS) Louis Briskman's $5.2 million included the most cash bonus and non-equity incentive compensation, according to the survey. (He actually took home $14.6 million because he also exercised some stock options.) Google's (GOOG) chief counsel, David Drummond, scooped up $8.4 million stock grants and $6.2 million in stock option awards for last year. Although the technology sector often pays at the top level, Facebook's (FB) general counsel was not included because he was not listed as one of the top five highest-earning executives at the company.
MORE: America's new work ethic?
Legal officers are definitely in the 1%, but their CEO bosses can haul down a lot more; S&P 500 chief executives brought home an average $12.1 million in compensation in 2011. GMI Ratings, an organization that tracks executive compensation, says its preliminary review of CEO pay last year found about A 3% salary uptick, but overall compensation grew by 15%, largely because stock options granted in lean times in 2008 and 2009 were now vesting. The GMI conclusions were based on a comparison of proxy filings for 817 CEOs.
"This year, we are beginning to see CEOs benefiting from equity granted in the financial crisis when stock prices were depressed," says Greg Ruel, the GMI Ratings report's author.
As the economy continues to wobble, share performance remains lackluster, and IF shareholders demand better evidence of performance, the CEO pay party could come to an end. And company lawyer compensation could be a harbinger of a slowing of the startling growth in posh pay packages.
"There is no direct connection between them now," notes Wilber, but he adds that the persistently dismal economy makes across-the-executive-suite cutbacks more plausible.
MORE: The rise of the chief culture officer
Corporate compensation committees typically decide executive pay levels, including stock grants. And their decisions are under more scrutiny than ever, a development underscored by the recent resignation of an independent compensation consultant to Best Buy's (BBY) board. Don Delves, who worked with the company's compensation committee for seven years, left when the flailing consumer electronics chain awarded more than 100 managers retention bonuses that were not linked to performance.
So far, corporate compensation committees continue to pay their CEOs and other top executives at — or above — industry norms. Sky-high CEO salaries are still commonplace, as more than a few board members are committed to protecting the person who selected them to serve in the first place.
General counsel pay is also based on industry norms, and their power has been on the upswing as companies have been bringing in-house legal work that had long been farmed out to outside law firms, and hiring more inside legal help to handle it.
That expansion has been a refuge for some newly minted lawyers who have not found open legal slots elsewhere, but, as is the case at law firms, the top-dollar legal pay packages of recent years look like they just might have a ceiling.

How Long Does it Take To Get a Transcript After a Legal Deposition?
After taking the testimony of a witness in a legal deposition, a question we are often asked is, "How long will it take to get my transcript?" I thought I would take the opportunity to answer this question here in case you are wondering the same thing.
When an attorney takes a deposition, the average time it takes a court reporter to finish a transcript and deliver it to you can be 7 to 10 days. Most court reporting firms have a set amount of time they aim to finish and deliver transcripts. Some out-of-state firms may take longer than the attorney is accustomed to. Some reporters are also known for their fast turnaround time.
How to Ensure You Get Your Transcript on Time
- Before leaving the deposition, request that a transcript be prepared. If this is not possible at the deposition, then as soon as you know you will need a transcript, call the court reporter to make the request. Once the request is made, then the reporter can plan his or her work schedule accordingly.
- If there is a specific date or if you need a deposition sooner than the normal turn-around period, be sure to notify your court reporter as soon as possible so that he or she can make adjustments to the schedule if necessary to allow enough time to finish your transcript by the due date.
- Follow up with the court reporter if you have any questions regarding the expected delivery date of your transcript.
- If you do not see your transcript within two weeks, you should contact your court reporter to inquire.
How Is a Transcript Prepared?
Understanding the transcription process may help you understand the issues involved in creating a timely transcript. When proceedings are over and a transcript is ordered, the court reporter returns to the office, accesses the digital file and reads through the entire proceedings to ensure accuracy. Any areas that did not translate correctly need to be edited. The reporter will compare steno shorthand notes to the translation to ensure accuracy.
Once finished editing, a court reporter then carefully reads through the transcript again to proofread for spelling or typographical errors.
Some reporters proofread the transcript a second time if the testimony involves a technically complex subject matter. Many reporters prefer to use a professional proofreader, so that they have a pair of fresh eyes reading over the material.
Now that the transcript is finalized, it can be printed, bound and mailed or delivered to the parties.
Because there are several steps involved in preparing an official transcript, a court reporter has several things to consider when a rush transcript is ordered. A reporter will often have other transcripts to finish before she or he can work on finalizing yours. Special arrangements need to be made to juggle transcript deadlines. That is why having advanced notice of a rush transcript order allows a reporter to make special arrangements to clear out his or her previous workload so your transcript can be finalized more quickly.
What If I Need My Transcript Sooner?
Court reporters understand there are circumstances under which you may need a transcript faster than the normal turn-around time. If we know you have a need for your transcript by a certain date, every effort will be made to meet your request. We are dedicated to getting you the transcript when you need it so that you can do your job efficiently.

Home workouts are one of the only saviours we've got at the moment. Due to coronavirus lockdown we're unable to leave the house, so it's become all too easy to pass hours sitting, sedentary, in one place. But structuring your routine to include one exercise session per day breaks the monotony, gets you moving, and is also beneficial for your mental health.
To make sure you're maximising these home workouts, we asked three female fitness experts to share their tips and advice about how to get the most out of at-home exercise.
Make a plan and stick to it
Your usual routine has probably gone out the window as a result of lockdown; most people aren't working in their offices (or working at all) and weekends, for those not working on the frontline, have become a blur of Netflix/ stare out the window / eat / repeat.
But that doesn't mean you can't make a new routine, based around the limited confinements of your home. Kayla Itsines, creator of BBG and trainer at home workout app Sweat, says this is important for both your physical and your mental health. "For those of you who have struggled to find consistency when it comes to making time for yourself and your workouts, scheduling this time in everyday is a great way to help you prioritise your physical and mental health," says Kayla.
"I'm big on planning, so I like to sit down on a Sunday and schedule in my workouts for the week ahead. This way I know I've got some time set aside for my workouts everyday, and it helps hold me accountable when my motivation levels might be low." If it doesn't suit you to plan quite so far in advance, Kayla recommends sitting down each night and planning for the next day to make sure you have time allocated to get your workout in. "It is so important to make your health a priority through this time so treat your workouts like an important appointment and don't miss them," she advises.
Once you've planned your schedule, make sure you mark it out on your calendar, suggests Stephanie Smith, PT at Orangetheory Fitness. "This also means you can cross it off on completion which is really satisfying," she adds. "Alongside this, keep a fitness journal. Keep track of your reps and times for a motivating boost."
Dedicate a 'workout spot' in your home
We don't all live in houses that have enough space for a fully-equipped home gym, but that doesn't mean you can't allocate a small space as your workout area - even if it's temporary and you 'dismantle' it after every session. "Choose one specific section in your home that you will dedicate to your workouts, whether that means rearranging some furniture or working out in your garden. This will get you in the workout mindset once you have a set up," suggests Krissy Cela, PT and founder of the Tone & Sculpt app.
PT Stephanie's home-workout corner includes "a bright mat, colourful resistance bands and a mood booster object i.e. a plant." She advises keeping the area tidy and well presented if you can leave it intact all the time. "This will help you with your motivation to use this space and having this will create that feeling of getting in the zone," says Stephanie.
There's no need to panic-buy equipment
If you've scrolled through Amazon on the hunt for kettlebells, only to find an estimated delivery date some time in 2021, don't panic! You don't need tons of equipment. Or, really, any. "Don't underestimate the power of bodyweight training. Just because you might not have equipment at home doesn't mean you can't get a great workout," Kayla Itsines tells Cosmopolitan. "Bodyweight exercises can help you to increase your strength, power and are an effective way to maximise your workout in a short space of time as you can easily move from one exercise to the other."
Kayla's favourite kind of bodyweight exercise is plyometric - or jump - training, and it requires no extra equipment besides your body and a small space. But if you do want to bulk up your reps with a bit of weight, Kayla urges you to get creative with what you've got. "There are so many household items that are easy substitutes such as full water bottles or canned food as a replacement for dumbbells, or using a chair as a replacement for a bench or box."
Change it up
You might find a form of exercise you can do from home that works for you - but you needn't stick rigidly to it. "Use this time to try new routines," suggests trainer Krissy Cela. "Focus on full body workouts including compound exercises (exercises that work multiple muscle groups at a time) such as a squat into press or reverse lunge knee up. You can really have fun with your workout routine."
Find a workout buddy to hold you accountable
If you're planning exercise in but just aren't sticking to it, enlist the help of a friend - either someone within your household or outside it. "Whilst staying at home, finding a virtual workout buddy is a fun way to stay motivated, accountable and socially connected," says Kayla. "Find a friend or family member who is willing to commit to working out consistently and then schedule a regular virtual workout where you use FaceTime or Zoom to do it together. It's much easier to stick to an exercise routine with the support of the people you care about."
Eliminate distractions to get in the zone
"Working out at home is convenient and great fun but also there are a lot of distractions," Kayla Itsines points out. "I recommend removing all distractions before you start your workout so you can focus 100% on your exercise routine. Turn off the TV, put your phone on silent, turn off phone notifications and put on your favourite music playlist to really get you in the zone."
Don't forget to stretch
Warming up before a workout and stretching afterwards is probably a regular part of your gym routine. So why should it be any different at home? "Stretching is so important for your muscles," reminds Krissy. "Now that you may have a little more time during your workouts, you can dedicate 10 minutes before and after your workouts to stretching out your muscles to keep them strong and flexible. You will definitely notice a difference once you get back into your usual routine."

Django Unchained, the new film by Quentin Tarantino, is a revisionist 'spaghetti western' revenge fantasy set in America's antebellum south. Its central character, played by Jamie Foxx, was appropriated from the spaghetti western Django; the title is a combination of Django and Herculese Unchained, another 1960s Italian exploitation film. As usual, Tarantino has assembled an impressive cast, which this time includes Christoph Waltz, Leonard DiCaprio, and Samuel L Jackson.
Tarantino's first film without editor Sally Menkes (who died in 2010), Django Unchained is his longest film to date, a western on an epic scale. It's also his most classically linear narrative. There are landscapes worthy of John Ford; in fact, the search for Django's captured wife parallels the quest for Natalie in Ford's The Searchers.
Quick zooms and close-ups on eyes show the influence of Sergio Leone, and there are numerous references to Leone's westerns, including music from Ennio Morricone. Django emerges from the smoke after a dynamite explosion like Clint Eastwood in A Fistful Of Dollars, and the insult "son of a..." is interrupted before its final word in a reference to The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.
The film is also self-referential, of course: there's a tense countdown from ten to one, as in Pulp Fiction, and the "tasty beverage" from Pulp Fiction and Death Proof is slightly modified to "tasty refreshment". Tarantino has an indulgent cameo, with an awful Australian accent. (His cameo in Sukiyaki Western Django, also inspired by spaghetti westerns and Django, was even worse.)
Samuel L Jackson, who plays the old house slave Stephen, has appeared in most of Tarantino's previous films: Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill II, and Inglourious Basterds. It's that last film that Django Unchained most resembles: both are revenge fantasies (as are Kill Bill and Death Proof), both contain spaghetti western elements, and both present revisionist interpretations of major historical atrocities, combining dramatic licence with ironic exploitation.
Django is a slave freed by Christoph Waltz's bounty hunter, Schultz. Waltz (who also starred in Carnage) played a 'Jew hunter' in Inglourious Basterds, and his characters in both films are eloquent, charming polyglots: Schultz speaks English and German, with a few lines of French. Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception/Shutter Island/The Departed/The Aviator) is also excellent in his first bad-guy role, surprisingly menacing as Candie the plantation owner. The plantation, Candyland, is a counterpoint to the romanticised Tara in Gone With The Wind; Tarantino even uses scrolling text in the same style as that Civil War classic.
The performances, direction, and widescreen cinematography are outstanding, though the plot doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. Django and Schultz "get into character" (another line from Pulp Fiction) and pose as mandingo dealers to trick Candy into selling them Django's wife, one of Candyland's slaves. (Her name is von Shaft, a reference to Blaxploitation hero John Shaft.) Their scheme increases the film's tension, and produces some terrific set-pieces, though ultimately the elaborate deception was un-necessary: they would have achieved the same result by simply telling Candy the truth from the outset.
Django Unchained is shockingly violent: slaves are tortured and torn apart by dogs, as justification for the bloody revenge of the final massacre. The film has also been criticised for its language: the word 'nigger' is used more than 100 times. (Tarantino also used it, with less frequency, in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.)
Incidentally, Django Unchained was filmed in 35mm. Tarantino - along with Christopher Nolan (who filmed The Dark Knight Rises in 70mm IMAX) and Paul Thomas Anderson (who filmed The Master in 70mm) - is one of the few contemporary directors who remain committed to celluloid filming and exhibition.

Van Nuys, CA -- Congressman Howard L. Berman, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Comittee, today issued the following statement on the 20th anniversary of the chemical weapons attack on Kurdish Iraqis at Halabja:
"Twenty years ago this week Saddam Hussein committed the single most brutal crime of his genocidal 'Anfal' campaign against the Iraqi Kurds – the atrocity at Halabja. Attacked with mustard gas and other nerve agents, thousands of Kurds died on the spot, and many more perished later from the effects.(End)
"Even today, many Halabja victims continue to suffer the chemical weapons' after-effects. The high rates of cancer and birth defects in the two decades since the attack provide a stark reminder of the human cost of this tragedy.
"Halabja was the most deadly attack of the 'Anfal' campaign, which lasted two years; murdered more than 100,000 civilians; destroyed more than 4,000 villages; and irreparably scarred the landscape of Kurdistan. It also in the end scarred the soul of an international community that remained largely silent at the time.
"We must commemorate this chemical weapons attack on a civilian population, and condemn it for the genocide that it was. And we must make that sacred memory our guarantee that its like shall not happen again."

Time to review what I am thankful for this year.
At this point I stopped typing and stared at the screen for a good five minutes. With a look on my face, like, you know, the cats in the photo below. It's not that I don't have things I am thankful for, but this year has been a mixed bag, to say the least. I feel kind of like these boys now that dinner is over, "Just a few pieces of discarded turkey? Where's the stuffing and sweet potato casserole??"
The Sale of our House
This was HUGE. From February to June we were forced to pay mortgage and rent simultaneously because my husband's job took him a couple of states away, and the teenage man child was still in school until May. As most of you probably know, house payment is never just house payment. No, there are all of the utilities for two dwellings, insurance, and other crap you don't think about, too. By the time June came, what was left of our savings had been wiped out and the credit card debt was again on the rise. After so many years in the black, being in the red scared me! I began to realize how close we really were to walking back into bankruptcy court – something I hope to never do again! The house sale resolved the financial issues (sort of) for the time being. At least, for now, red is once again a Christmas color instead of something radiating from my bank statement.
My Kids
Needless to say, when the bomb of separation explodes, anyone standing nearby takes some shrapnel. My kids were no exception. For a month or two, it was touch and go between us, and I imagine the feelings of confusion and uncertainty could well rise again when the dust gets kicked up by divorce proceedings sometime in 2016; but for now I am thankful for open communication and their support. I choose to look with hope to the future, because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and that certainly applies to relationships as well.
My Family of Origin
There is simply no possible way to express the sheer tonnage of thankfulness I feel towards them. The thing is, they have been waiting for me to come
to my senses home for more than twenty-eight years, and even during that time, they lovingly supported me in whatever way they could (both emotional and financial). They never stopped hoping, praying, or believing, and the reinforcement each of them has given (since the day my brother and his wife rode a train across 3 states in order to drive a U-Haul that would carry my life's possessions back home) made my transition back into singleness as smooth as silk. I know that I could have left my marriage without their support, but I am so very glad I didn't have to.
My Friends
Walking away from my marriage has been a surreal experience in one major respect: the people I expected to judge/condemn me supported me instead! (??) Strange does not begin to describe this experience, but if you did not spend half your life in an ultra-conservative Christian denomination that has no tolerance for a woman who walks away from a marriage without "Biblical grounds" (adultery), you likely will not understand why I was so blown away by the support I have received. Little did I know that a boat load of folks had been waiting – no, hoping – for the day when I would finally decide to call it quits. That moment came sometime between two o'clock and seven o'clock on July 17, 2015. A week later, the cheers and loving words of my friends blew away my fear of the rejection and condemnation I had expected. Thank you all so very much!!
The Family who Adopted my Boys
You don't have any idea how difficult it is to find a good home for a pet until you give it a go. For me, my sweet orange tabbies absolutely hung the moon, but my change in situation necessitated finding them a new home. It was hard! I am so thankful for the wonderful environment they are in now – SO much better than any life I could have hoped to provide for them. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, HBH!!
My Job
Without it, my life would still be stuffed into one bedroom of my parent's house. I am very thankful for the freedom to live on my own, in my very own space, although it can sometimes get a bit lonely. That's where the next item comes in.
My Cat
When you've become accustomed to being with people pretty much 24-7 (newborns – toddlers – home school kids – office mates) for 25+ years, suddenly being alone can feel overwhelming, especially for a sanguine extrovert like me. It's nice to know that when I get home from work every day, there is someone waiting – looking to me for companionship. I wonder if he knows just how much I need him.
My Marriage
Yep, I am thankful for all the lessons I learned during the last twenty-eight years – things I am certain I never could have learned otherwise. I am even thankful for the person who taught me those lessons. Without him, where would I be today? More importantly, if not for my marriage, I would not have had the #2 item on this list, and that would have been three tragedies all wrapped up into one gigantic empty space in my heart.
Your turn: What are you thankful for in 2015? Let me know in the comments.

Walt Disney World offers several "hard ticket" events throughout the year; these events require an additional ticket purchase on top of park entry. These events include parties, concerts, and extra time in the theme parks. These events are ideal for families that want to include something a little extra special in their vacation, for a celebration or just because! Here are a few of the options available seasonally:
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party: offered every year on select evenings from early September through Halloween, this party held in Magic Kingdom from 7 p.m. to midnight is a must do for any Halloween lovers. Guests without party tickets are generally herded toward the exit very close to 7 p.m. and cast members continue to monitor attendance to ensure that only party guests are present for the festivities. The "Boo to You" parade is spectacular and the stage show over the last two years have featured The Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus. Trick or Treat stations are set up all throughout the parks and adults are allowed to dress up in costume along with their children (costume restrictions apply for security reasons). There are special character meets scattered throughout the park (Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas always draw a big crowd!).
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: offered every year on select evenings from early November through early December. This party is also held at the Magic Kingdom from 7 p.m. to midnight. Similar to the Halloween party, there is a special parade, characters appear in costume, and special treats are offered throughout the parks. There's even "snow" on Main St.!
Dessert Parties: There are several dessert parties offered throughout the parks, notably at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. These parties offer special seating areas (or standing areas) for the evening fireworks show and a selection of drinks and desserts.
Night of Joy: This is a two-night Christian music festival usually offered in early September at the ESPN Wild World of Sports complex.
Cirque du Soleil-La Nouba: This is a wonderful show offered at Disney Springs, Tuesday through Saturday at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. "Acrobats, aerialists, break dancers, singers, trapeze artists, jugglers and clowns—more than 65 artists representing 15 countries—entertain and mystify with daring acts of grace. A stream of color washes over every scene with the imaginative costumes, out-of-this-world makeup and dynamic sets." I've seen this show at least 4 times. It is FANTASTIC! If you have the ability in your schedule to see this, DO IT!
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique: With two locations (Cinderella Castle and Disney Springs), your kiddos who are ages 3-12 can experience a princess/prince makeover. Undoubtedly, this is geared toward the princess crowd with various packages involving hair styling, nail polishing, and princess gear. Packages vary and you will pay for this upon arrival. Appointments can be booked starting at 180 days and they go FAST (especially in the Castle location). If you know you'll be wanting to do this, I need to know early on in the planning.
Pirate's League: Located near the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at the Magic Kingdom, this salon will transform your kiddos ages 3-12 into buccaneers or mermaids. They'll take the pirate's oath and can be featured in a special parade at the end of the day. Pirate's League will also do makeovers for parents who want to join in on the fun! Packages vary and you will pay for this upon arrival. This can also be booked starting at 180 days.
There are numerous other activities you can participate in on property, including fireworks cruises, horse drawn carriage rides, boat rentals and fishing. If you have some downtime in your vacation, we can talk about options to fill that time once you're booked.

Vail Town Council purchases one-bedroom, one-bath condo unit for workforce housing
VAIL — The Vail Town Council is taking another step forward toward achieving the Vail 2027 Housing Plan goal of acquiring 1,000 new deed restrictions by 2027. At its Tuesday, Dec. 4, evening meeting, the Council unanimously approved a resolution to purchase a one-bedroom, one-bath, 644-square-foot condominium at Vail East Lodging, located at 4133 Spruce Way in East Vail. The purchase price is $309,500.
The Town Council approved the use of the town's housing funds to purchase the home. The current owner approached the town's housing staff to inquire whether the town had an interest in purchasing the home. The current owner, a long-time resident, is interested in purchasing another home in Vail to meet the needs of a growing family. In the end, it is most likely the town will use the property to provide a home for a town of Vail employee and his or her family.
The town will take possession of the home after the first of the year. According to Steve Lindstrom, chairman of the Vail Local Housing Authority, "The purchase of this home further preserves and protects an existing home in Vail for a local resident to live."
Preserving and protecting existing homes for local residents has been identified as a way for the town to meet its housing goal without having to build new homes elsewhere in town or increase density in existing neighborhoods.
For more information, contact George Ruther, housing director, at 970-376-2675.

My Thoughts
Favorite Reread:
My favorite reread this year was the Harry Potter series, without question. I love revisiting old favorites, but it had been far too long since I'd come back to HP and my whole being was craving it. I'm right at the end of The Deathly Hallows right now and will finish before the year is out. I am so sad to be nearing the end, but excited to start rereading a new series next year: The Chronicles of Narnia. I'll also be picking up Harry Potter and the Cursed Child finally, along with The Tales of Beedle the Bard and the screenplay Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The journey isn't ever completely over! To be completely honest, I feel like I could pick up The Sorcerer's Stone and begin the series anew right after I close The Deathly Hallows without any regrets about it. But there are too many other books waiting to be discovered and reread! One I'm really looking forward to reading this time next year (what, you don't also know what you're reading next December!?) is The Lord of the Rings. I'm hoping to start The Fellowship of the Ring in November or December and go from there. PLUS I want to start Outlander and who even knows if I'll have time to get to that between all these other series I have planned to read. Dear me!
Favorite New Read:
No doubt in my mind whatsoever… Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom were far and away my favorite new reads of 2016. I picked them up having heard very little about the subject matter (which I prefer), but a whole lot about how wonderful they were. They just had that vibe. I knew I was going to love them and once Crooked Kingdom came out, I made my move. I knew I was behind the times in getting to Six of Crows, but just as I thought, I was hooked immediately. Leigh Bardugo does such an amazing job of writing characters that you want to read. No, more than that. Characters you wish you actually knew! And she really makes you feel as though you do. It's like chatting with your friends over a steaming stack of fluffy waffles, which is a reference you will understand if you've read them! If you haven't given these a try yet, I urge you to pick them up. Even if it doesn't necessarily sound like your usual cup of tea, even if you normally turn up your nose at YA lit, just see what you think. I enjoyed them immensely and most people I know that have read them border on obsession about them.
Now, I'm not really a contemporary fiction gal. Not that I don't enjoy it when I read it, it's just not usually what I reach for unless I've been badgered about reading it by friends and family forever. Sometimes not even then! I know what I like and there's MORE than enough of it to keep me busy. Romance and love stories, on the other hand, are not only books I don't reach for, but readily avoid. Again, nothing wrong with them, just not my preference. All this is to let you know just how surprised I was with The Rosie Project. I never would have picked this book up if I'd seen it sitting on a shelf somewhere. Even if it was on my own nightstand! It just doesn't have the look of something that'd appeal to me. Well my book club chose to read The Rosie Project together last spring and I absolutely loved it! LOVED it. Couldn't put it down! It was laugh-out-loud funny and engaging as all heck. I think I burned through it in two days. Let this be yet another lesson to me about judging books by their covers. It was not at all what I expected and if you're hesitant about reading general fiction or romance, don't be fooled! This book is hilarious and well worth the day or two it'll take you to read. And once you're through, there's a sequel that I can't comment on since I haven't gotten to it yet. Please, let me know if you have read either of these. For real.
Unfortunately, I was unpleasantly surprised by one book on my list. I'd heard really good things about The Untethered Soul and I couldn't wait to dig into it when it finally became available at the library. It was really good for a few pages and then it just sort of fell flat. It did have some nice-sounding ideas and I won't go on and on about it as I don't want to bash it, but I found it to be repetitive in unhelpful ways and vague about the stuff you did want to hear more of. I do love a good book about mindfulness, but this just wasn't the one for me. It was a let down after being recommended so highly.

15/09/2009 – Air New Zealand Calls Out Southwest Airlines To "Take It Off"
Back in May of this year I wrote about Air New Zealand's new advertising campaign and in-flight safety video created with staff, and the CEO, wearing nothing by body paint. You can read this post here: 12/05/2009 – Air New Zealand's New Ad Hides Nothing
Somehow I missed it…but a few weeks ago Air New Zealand has stepped up the in-the-buff campaign with another "nothing to hide video." This video directly addresses Southwest Airlines' CEO Herb Kelleher and challenges him to send a Southwest Airlines crew down to New Zealand to co-create the ultimate in-flight safety video. Of course crew members of both airlines wearing nothing but body paint would do this video, like Air New Zealand's video.
Southwest Airlines, despite carrying more passengers than any other US airline last year, still has the 'local' feeling and family touch. Staff and crew are quirky, are enabled to deal with passenger issues, encouraged to have their own personalities and really to enjoy doing what they do.
I hope Herb takes up the offer of Rob Fyfe, Air New Zealand's CEO, and send a Southwest crew down to Auckland to create a safety video like no other!
Below is Air New Zealand's message to Herb Kelleher and Southwest Airlines.
Happy Flying!

Home range of immature green turtles tracked at an offshore tropical reef using automated passive acoustic technology
Hazel, Julia, Hamann, Mark, and Lawler, Ivan R. (2013) Home range of immature green turtles tracked at an offshore tropical reef using automated passive acoustic technology. Marine Biology, 160 (3). pp. 617-627.
PDF (Published Version)
- Published Version
Restricted to Repository staff only
Seventeen immature green turtles Chelonia mydas were tracked concurrently by automated ultrasonic receivers at a coral reef off North-Eastern Australia (September–December 2010, 16.4°S, 145.6°E). The majority (n = 11) were tracked for the entire 100-day study, the remainder for 23–85 days. Detection data aggregated at 30-min intervals produced median 6.5–35 daily locations for individual turtles. Home range areas (95 % utilisation distribution) were ≤1 km2, x̄ ± SD = 0.74 km2 ± 0.159. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first home range estimates for C. mydas foraging at offshore tropical reefs. The findings are important for conservation in revealing near-continuous presence of the same individuals within a small geographic area. Time between detections was very short (median <3 min) demonstrating passive ultrasonic technology can track multiple turtles in a foraging environment with higher temporal resolution than typically achieved by satellite tracking.

Most of the complaints aimed at Research in Motion's BlackBerry PlayBook tablet have been based on its middling array of software. But after a live demonstration of soon-to-come apps at the company's BlackBerry World conference on Tuesday, the naysayers may begin to shut up.
For the first time since the tablet's release, RIM showed off a live demo of the three biggest features that have been MIA since the tablet's launch: native e-mail, calendar and contacts applications. The company also ran a number of Android applications on the PlayBook, which will eventually be available in BlackBerry's App World store.
Combined, the demos show that RIM is serious about shoring up the PlayBook's shortcomings, and it's willing to recruit the vast library of Android apps to help bolster its own tablet's appeal.
Currently, those who want to access their e-mail on the PlayBook have one of two options: open a browser window and navigate to a web-based e-mail client, or use the BlackBerry Bridge feature, which requires tethering the PlayBook to an existing BlackBerry smartphone in order to view e-mail on the tablet. Those who don't have a BlackBerry phone but still want native e-mail access are out of luck.
RIM has taken a lot of heat for launching the PlayBook without native e-mail, calendar and contacts applications. After receiving early test devices, many reviewers (including Wired.com) considered the tablet half-baked, formidable in its hardware yet unfinished in its software.
RIM's strategy has been to address those shortcomings gradually, continuously pushing over-the-air updates to its customers. On Tuesday, for example, the PlayBook received video chat capability. Later this summer, the PlayBook will receive a native Facebook app, with e-mail and calendar apps to follow.
Some have criticized this release schedule as compensation for a premature product release. But with the first generation iPad already beating every other tablet to market by a year, RIM's release strategy seems to be a necessary compromise: If it had shipped any later, and the PlayBook would have been even more irrelevant.
The company has also been criticized for its small amount of apps available for the PlayBook in its App World store, roughly 3,000 at launch. But 3,000 is far more tablet-specific apps than Android Honeycomb-powered tablets like the Motorola Xoom and Acer's Iconia A500 Tab have available to them. As of this week, the Android Honeycomb tablet app count hovers somewhere in the range of 50.
In order to supplant its lack of PlayBook apps upon launch, RIM decided to allow Android apps to be ported over to the PlayBook Tablet OS by developers. After a developer submits his or her Android app to BlackBerry App World, RIM vets the apps and releases them to its store if deemed acceptable.
Android applications ran in an "Android Player" app, which expanded to fill the tablet's entire seven-inch screen. The apps seemed to run smoothly throughout the demo, with no crashing or visible stuttering. Though it should be noted that the apps RIM demoed were not Android version 3.0 (Honeycomb), "tablet-optimized" ones, but rather version 2.2 (Froyo) applications. It hasn't been said if the PlayBook will be able to run Honeycomb-tablet apps.
Whether an Android or BlackBerry app, all are available through App World without differentiation. RIM calls this its "one-app experience." Since there are many more Android apps than there are for the BlackBerry at the moment, it's probably a better move by the company to keep the two uniform in look. Imagine looking down at a RIM product filled with nothing Android apps -- it might be enough to make you wonder why you didn't buy an Android device in the first place.
RIM said it plans to release the three native applications "later this summer" in an over-the-air software update. The Android applications weren't given an exact ETA.
