A Visit to a Passive House Panelizing Shop
Owner Chris Corson and designer Mike Maines of EcoCor discuss a construction detail in the "Ivory Tower" office above Corson's panelizing shop in Searsmont, Maine.
Using a prototype, Chris Corson discusses the construction details and building science characteristics of his panelized wall system with architect Rachel Conly, visiting from Portland, Maine. Consisting of an OSB-sheathed 2x4 interior frame, then an insulation cavity formed by exterior-applied wood I-joists, the assembly is designed to be air-tight at the level of the OSB, but vapor-open to both the interior and exterior
EcoCor designer Mike Maines discusses a tricky construction detail with shop manager Steve Greenleaf. Maines generates a three-dimensional rendering of each panel to be built to guide the construction process on the shop floor. The rendering can be viewed from multiple angles.
On the shop floor, shop manager Steve Greenleaf sets studs and jacks in place on the precision framing table. At rear, carpenter George Reefer trims wood I-joists to length on the shop's up-cut saw.
Steve Greenleaf nails OSB sheathing onto the exterior side of the interior stud frame of a Passive House wall panel. A shop table saw positioned near the wall assembly table is used to make precise sheathing cuts. Once seams are taped, the sheathing will serve as the air barrier for the house.
Steve Greenleaf applies ProClima Extoseal membrane tape to the underside of the 2x4 inner wall plate for the panel. Extoseal is designed as a moisture-barrier tape for junctures between wood members and concrete foundation elements or other moisture sources. This plate will contact the slab foundation when the wall is set. However, the slab itself will also be isolated from ground moisture by an EPS insulating form system and a sheet of heavy-duty polyethylene.
Steve Greenleaf applies ProClima Vana tape to the nailing lines and seams of the OSB wall sheathing for the inner 2x4 wall of the panel. This tape will seal against any leaks through nail penetrations in the OSB. It also serves to air-seal the screw penetrations created when wood I-joists are attached over the sheathing during the next step in the panel construction process.
Steve Greenleaf cuts engineered rim board to length for a window buck, using EcoCor's Northtech 18-inch up-cut cutoff saw. Equipped with a digitally controlled RazorGage positioning system, the Northtech saw is used for fast precision cutting of all the lumber components of the Passive House walls, including studs, wood I-joists, engineered headers, and strapping.
Steve Greenleaf builds the inboard portion of a window buck into a framed window opening in the interior 2x4 portion of the wall panel, using 1?-by-9.5-inch rim board. Windows will be set flush with this inner buck.
Air-sealing the corners of the inner window buck with ProClima Tescon Vana tape. This integrates the window buck into the wall panel's air barrier control layer, defined by the taped OSB sheathing.
Drilling pressure-relief holes in the wood I-joist webs before attaching the I-joists to the OSB face of the inner wall. These holes turned out to be necessary when dense-packing the I-joist cavities with blown cellulose — otherwise, back-pressure in the cavities impedes and slows the placement of the insulation.
Fastening the I-joist outer wall members to the inner stud wall with structural screws through the OSB structural air barrier and into the studs. ProClima Tescon Vana tape under the I-joists air-seals the screw penetration.
Framing out the outboard edge of the window buck, to bring the opening flush with the outer face of the wood I-joist assembly.
Attaching an OSB plate to the underside of the wood I-joist outer wall assembly. This portion of the wall base will extend out over the EPS foam perimeter insulation for the building's reinforced raft slab, creating a thermal-bridge-free joint where the wall meets the foundation. (The site-built version of this detail is drawn and photographed in Chris Corson's May, 2012, JLC feature, "An Affordable Passive House, Part 1".)
Stapling mesh screen over the pressure-relief hole in the wood I-joist at the edge of the wall panel. This opening turned out to be necessary because the I-joist cavities, once covered with taped fabric, are air-tight enough to create a back-pressure the can impede the operation of the insulation blower unless relief is provided.
Rolling out ProClima Solitex Mento fabric over the wood I-joist outer section of the wall panel. Air-tight but highly vapor-permeable, the Mento fabric provides a weather barrier and serves to contain the cellulose insulation within the I-joist cavity while allowing the wall to dry in the outboard direction.
Stapling the Mento fabric to the underside edge of the wood I-joist cavity. This edge will be taped for air-tightness.
Taping the weather barrier fabric joints with ProClima Tescon Vana tape.
Two layers of strapping are screwed down in a crisscross pattern over the fabric-covered wood I-joist outer wall frame. This strapping provides nailing for wood siding, and creates a drainage plane and convection space so that the wall exterior is able to drain and dry if any incidental moisture gets behind the siding.
Shop manager Steve Greenleaf, owner Chris Corson, and designer Mike Maines roll a completed panel off the framing table onto the forks of a forklift. The framing table is now ready for the next panel, but Greenleaf still has to finish a few details on this piece of wall.
Steve Greenleaf applies ProClima Tescon Vana tape to the inside of the wall panel's exterior window buck, integrating the weather-resistive barrier into the punched opening. The interior portion of the window buck will be detailed in the field before windows are installed. At this point, EcoCor does not build windows into wall panels before shipment because of shipping limitations.
JLC has been following the evolution of builder Christian Corson's company, EcoCor, Inc., since 2011, when we covered the construction of Corson's first Passive House project, an affordable home in Knox, Maine (see An Affordable Passive House: Part 1, JLC 5/12, and Part 2, JLC 6/12).
With a half-dozen site-built Passive House jobs under his belt since that first effort, Corson is now moving into panelization, constructing wall and floor sections in a warehouse space in Searsmont, Maine, and offering full design services from his office above the shop (dubbed the "Ivory Tower" by the shop floor crew). Corson is setting his first custom home panel package this week in Woodstock, New York. Last week, JLC traveled to Searsmont along with Portland architect Rachel Conly to view Corson's facility and watch panels being built.

What Do You Love About Your Bedroom?
Do you love the way the light hits the end of your bed in the morning even if your room is the size of a postage stamp? Do you have an amazing view — even if you hate the color of your walls? We've spent the month talking about all the things we want to change in your bedroom but now we want to hear what you love about the place you rest your head at night!
Even though we all have different spaces, sometimes hearing what others love about their room can help you to find a new appreciation for your own. We might not always be looking for a lamp or the perfect bedspread — or even when you have those things we can still be missing out on the small joys. What do you love most about your own space? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

In my room I LOVE my bed! I dont care what the room looks like, but as long as my bed is comfortable thats all that matters. Soft Sheets are the most important thing!
the windchimes hanging above the radiator. it was such an odd place to decorate around, and it looked sad with nothing over it.
so above it i have 2 staggered hanging capiz shell windchimes. they're amazing in the spring/summer when i sleep with the windows open.
My BED! Nothing is as good as sleeping in my own bed, with my own pillows (battered as they are).
I love waking up to the sunlight in the spring and summer, and I love our new curtains.
I love my birdseye view of San Francisco - I'd be thrilled to say that I enjoy seeing the rising sun when I awake in the mornings, but lately w/ all the rain and fog and "Daylight Savings Time" I've forgotten what that's like...
I also am thrilled with all the storage I installed years ago - my PAX wardrobe system with all the enclosed shelves, 12 drawers and organization racks plus my nice-sized vintage walnut Broyhill Brasilia dresser definitely makes putting things away and keeping the place tidy a breeze...
...and finally, I love my gallery wall where I have a mix of vintage and new impressionist paintings of boats - so calming.
The sound of cruise ships sounding their whistles as they enter NY Harbor around 7am on Saturday mornings.
I love my new bed, the size of my room & closet and the hardwood floors
I'm in student accommodation, so I hate most of my room! But the view of the sun setting on the city in the evening, and the hot sun on my bed in the late afternoon is simply wonderful. The room may be awful, but I will sure miss that window when the lease is up!
I love that I can see the twinkling lights of houses and cars on distant San Francisco hills from my bed. Part of what my bedroom overlooks is a tangle of freeways, but they're far enough away that they look beautiful, especially at night. My bedroom also gets morning sun, which is always welcome!
All of my old furniture. It's all inherited - my bedroom set belonged to my grandparents, and my big overstuffed armchair was in my house when I was growing up. I have so many memories surrounding my furniture. It's a lot to live up to, and it's nice to wake up in the morning and go to bed at night with that in mind.
I love the view from our window; the huddled Swiss village massing with pinky-orange tiled roofs and all the rich vegetation. I love the trees at the side of our property, and how when they are bare you can see the balls of mistletoe, and I love our cedar hedges, ivies and roses, and all the flowers that have naturalized in our lawn -- crocuses and daffodils, chives, primroses, and all sorts of tiny ones I've never seen before.
I love knowing that when it is completely quiet, I can continue to laze in bed, and when I hear the planes start in the distance that it is time to wake up.
I love using the pillows that my grandmother, who died many years ago, made for me.
I love waking up to the sweet surprise of my 4 year old son curled up beside me clutching his green bear -- he loves to sneak in during the night when he needs a cuddle.
I love hearing the boats going up and down the Mississippi. I also enjoy hearing the coliape! Also on this side of the river from the Quarter, New Orleans seems so peaceful in the mornings.
I love waking up to my dog looking at me like I'm the best thing that ever happened to her.
@applebomb - I'd have to agree with you. I'm also lucky to have a huge window that's as big as a queen bed and a smaller one on another wall. It lets so much light in.
I love the view from my bedroom. The first thing I see in the morning is my neighbor's giant tree. It instantly orients me; bare but hopeful in the winter; flush with twittering birds in the spring; green and lush in the summer; gorgeous with autumn colors in the fall.
I love the moody gray-green color of the walls on a cloudy day.
My bedroom has windows on three wallss. N, W, and S. facing. It definitely helps to wake up to natural light, and since our windows are old (1924), I usually wake up to the sounds of the birds chirping or squirrels chattering in our back yard. And yeah, I love my bed and soft sheets too. A
I love that I can look out the windows from my bed and see what the weather is like each day. I also love that I can hear the birds chirping in the morning, like a natural alarm clock.
I love that my window faces the water feature in my apartment complex, and if I leave the window open a bit I get to fall asleep to the white noise of a little stream and pond. I love my new bed, even if it's way too high - I can store a ton of stuff under it and I feel like I'm sleeping in a cloud. I also love that the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning is my bookcases full of books and my cello hanging on its hanger, ready to be practiced. Unlimited potential!
I love hearing the far away train whistle late at night -especially in the summer when the windows are open.
I love "the view" from my windows -right, smack into the center of an apple tree! Birds love that tree and I get to watch them from less than three feet away. Just this morning, I saw two yellow finches! :)
Love my big antique armoire, my ceiling-height ficus lyrata, the wonderful bench windowseat with storage, the sheers-softened light from our huge windows, tall corner shelving full of books, African violets, art, and my sweet grandkitten.
Love my bed - comfy, cosy, perfect. I also have deep gray walls with ice blue and white on the bed. Very comforting and welcoming! Have hard wood floors however have a plush carpet underfoot in my bedroom.
I meant "cozy"...
Absolutely! My husband and I joke that our dog's first words (to herself) in the morning must be, "I'm so happy you exist!" repeated continually for about ten minutes. This is during the time she waggles her whole body and wants to snuggle at the same time.
Pets = love :)
Love my big plant in the bedroom, a Monstera. It get's new leaves weekly. That plant makes me sooo happy!
Definitely my bed! I no longer have the view of looking over hills and water from my bedroom.. but being lazy in bed on the weekends is the greatest!
My fabulous bed (and the man I share it with), and my "Thunder" gray walls.
that I feel calm & safe when I go there
husband's quite nice, too
My quilts on my bed that have been made by my mom, an aunt, and my grandma - three closets - and a big bay window :) Heaven :)
Skylights! And the perfect shade of white paint on the walls and ceiling.
I love my ceiling. Since I sleep on my back it's the last thing I see before I fall asleep and the first thing I see when I wake up.
I tried to make it look like the ceiling inside of a luxurious, tropical bungalow, so I painted the ceiling a juicy, smooth avocado green and created a faux tray ceiling by using white painted 1x4s and making a 3x4 frame in the center of the ceiling with a woven grass in-set.
Yup, I love my ceiling. I can't wait until I can get a canopy bed to compete the experience.
the four poster bed i built myself with help from my sister and the Sealy "bowling ball" mattress that sits on top of it, plus the fibre bed that sits on top of *that* and the soft, smooth 600-count sheets!
Our room was our daughter's and we switched so I love that is painted like a magical forest complete with glowing stars and fairies when the lights are turned off : ) I don't have the heart to paint over it. Mostly because it took me a month to paint!
New, comfortable mattress and pillows with good-smelling, line dried sheets on wonky, old, inherited iron bed. Textured glass multi-pane windows, so no curtains: bright, Brisbane sun filtered through flowered vines (or cold dog nose in my ear) wakes me up. First thing I see is a black labrador smile, because he's put his face on my pillow to say good morning. He's so happy, that I'm happy too.
I love that almost every accessory and piece of furniture in my room has a story. I only bought maybe two or three items new...everything else was either a hand-me-down, a found item or a thrift shop/flea market/garage sale purchase. But miraculously it works because I found a throw rug that seems to pull it all together. At least in MY eyes!
I love my orange curtains- we keep them closed in the winter against draft and the light filters in and makes the entire room a saturated orange color. Even with all the grayness and snow outside, our room is a deep orange jewel box.
My incredibly comfortable bed, the artwork over it, the size (not huge, but definitely roomy), my large, mismatched nightstands (a desk and an old drafting table), and the hardwood floors. I just wish I had operable windows and a bigger closet, then it would be almost perfect.
bed bed bed!
@Rosie2: Those toes are skeeving me out too!
We live right across the estuary from Oakland, and we can hear all the trains. I love to hear them at night. And we have afternoon sun that warms up the bed. Best nap spot, ever.
@ bepsf
Your room sounds just lovely. I particularly love the idea of a wall of boat paintings.
What I love most about my room is the view of the mountains I get when I wake up in the morning. Also really love right this moment when the temperature is perfect outside to just crank open the casements and sleep with the moonlight pouring in. Also really helps that I have a fantastic mattress.
I just bought this duvet cover and it makes me so happy to wake up to the bright colors every morning.
I love that after almost 4 years in our fixer-upper... our bedroom walls were *finally* painted last week! The kids' rooms have been done for years, but the Master is always the 'laster'. Now it's a lovely shade of light green. Heavenly!
The view. Even though I live in the city in a high rise, I am on the fourth floor across from a park. From my bed the view out my bedroom window is just trees and sky. I could be out in the middle of the wilderness.
i love the view, roller shade and curtain. also how small, cozy the room is.
silence, roominess, remoteness from the rest of the home, blue-white calmness and my two wonderful cats curling on the bed with me when I read.
My bed. It's the reason me and my boyfriend got together so I love how sentimental we both feel about it. I email the old owner every now and then to let me know how we're getting on with it!
I love my bedroom walls. The color is called 'Shark Loop'. It's a pretty gray-blue and against the white trim and white curtains it's awesome!
My wife and I picked out everything together, and we're both happy with it. It's truly "ours," not his or hers.
Big fluffy duvet and perfect mattress, plus 4 dogs.
I love everything about our bedroom. We re-did it 2 years ago and still love it. Here's the highlights: Brown/Yellow/Orange color combo (think peanut butter, burnt orange and dusty yellow); investment piece was the gorgeous walnut dress from Room & Board (sleek & warm at the same time); photo collage above the bed (wedding photos & vacation shots); new closet (wider doors & organization system); new lighting (found a fabulous ceiling fan that isn't ugly and wall-mounted bed side lighting).
I love my bedroom because it's big and airy! I thought giving up a walk-in closet would be a big sacrifice when my husband and I moved, but this one is so big, it hardly matters. I love the way it looks when I turn on all the lamps so everything is softly lit and inviting.
Agree with:
Grey-green walls - I have a few dashes of yellow to perk it up, but this color is SO relaxing.
My Bed - it's the one place me, the spouse, and 2 dogs and in past times our daughter, can all be at once, comfortably. It's the best place to start your best day and end your worst. I would add to that flannel sheets from November - March and a featherbed topper.
My view - 2nd floor window facing the woods -wildlife and a pond. Perfect first look every morning.
Dogs first thing in the morning - although I think all the wiggling and happiness really means "Im so glad you are awake because you have thumbs, so feed me and let me out please?"
My fab McRoskey mattress set and the fact that I have a giant closet attached to the room!
Your dog comment made me smile, TSPInterior Design.
But, really, what love is more pure than cupboard love?
My very light green walls and floral headboard. The sound of birds at first light.
The touches of silver and mirror that add sparkle to the room. My art.
I love my chandelier. It's gorgeous...a black string drum shade, silver and has a few baubles. Love it.
I love the transom windows that keep the privacy but let in the precious light.
My bedroom is the smaller of the two..and is located in the back of my home, facing the woods. Lately, I see a family of deer in the mornings just meandering along... I love the sound of the birds. I like the smallness of my room and the dark brown color with white trim...very cozy. My bed is very comfortable and I can hang out here for a long time. Also, it's very quiet...no noise when I'm sleeping.
I love the view we have of Bath Abbey which is all lit up at night.
I love that after years of cluttered happiness (really?) and 23 years of marriage I made my bedroom MINE. My colors, my set-up, my wonderfully retro mismatched furniture. I walk in and feel an instant sense of "ahhhh". It's warm, quiet, UNCLUTTERED and oh so (the was always there, just didn't know it) me!

Iowa QCs Water Plant Is Now Protected from Flooding
October 25, 2013
After more than 40 years, a critical part of Davenport's riverfront is finally protected by a flood wall. Thursday morning at the Iowa American Water treatment plant, the Corps of Engineers held a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the completion of a permanent flood wall. Construction began nearly two years ago on the wall made of steel, concrete, and dirt.
Project Manager, Mark Pratt from Corps of Engineers, says the top is eight feet higher than the record crest on the Mississippi River in 1993. But you can't even see most of it. "Thirty feet down to bedrock, sheet metal sits on a steel base. That runs the 2,000-foot length of the wall so no there's no seepage. No water can get over to other side of the flood wall."
Ron Fournier started working for the Corps of Engineers' Rock Island District two years before the Great Flood. "In '93, the Des Moines lost its water plant. It went down during the flood. They had to supply potable water to the whole city. It was a bad situation. It'll take one heckuva flood to go over this wall!"
It's been decades since Congress voted to authorize the permanent flood protection project. And at times, Fournier says, it's been controversial. "If you spend $1, the taxpayer must get $1 benefit in return. This wall was originally supposed to protect all of the Davenport riverfront. But the city did a good job moving buildings and building flood protection for others. This part of the flood wall was the only section left that's justified by the benefit cost ratio."
The federal government paid for 75% of the 11 million dollar cost. Davenport and the Iowa American Water Company paid the rest. The plant located along River Drive at Mound Street treats water for most of Scott County. And a rate increase may be needed to help pay for the flood wall. But, the next time the Mississippi floods, the company will save money by not having to build a temporary levee.

How I Became an Unexpected Stay-at-Home Mom
It can be difficult to choose whether or not to be a stay at home mom or return to work. Sometimes outside factors help make the decision for you.
Before kids, I always assumed I'd be a working mom. I had high career goals since I was eight years old and nothing was going to stand in my way. Of course that was before reality slapped me across the face and reminded me that I'm not in complete control. It's funny to me when I think back because my perspective and priorities have changed so much.
I've always wanted children and it was tough emotionally trying to conceive for three years. With each step forward in life, my views changed as they often do as we grow up. When we finally got pregnant it was still assumed that I would return to work after my maternity leave.
I became a pregnancy book junkie. I became concerned with birth choices, the state of maternity leave and discovering my parenting style. I tried to deflect unsolicited advice which began to assault me from all directions.
The more I bonded with my unborn daughter, the closer her due date came, I started to doubt my return to work.
It didn't help that I wasn't thrilled with my employer or their maternity leave policies. Or their lack of support for pumping moms. I started to feel guilty about leaving my baby before she was even born! My husband and I discussed the possibility of me staying home. Financially it was an extremely close call since my salary would basically go straight to childcare.
Secretly my desire to be at home grew.
Still, we toured daycare centers and put down a deposit to hold a spot for our daughter. We re-evaluated our finances and updated our budget. The plan would be to return to my job and work towards being able to afford for me to stay home. But really we were just scared to make the decision.
It was a big decision and a big change. It was a complete 180 from my career goals just a few short years ago. Would I even be able to handle staying home? I knew what I wanted deep down, but was indecisive at the same time.
As I got my work and client files in order, I also cleaned out most of my desk. I circled a date in my calendar-the last day I could give proper notice for not returning from maternity leave. It was still up in the air though. When asked, I replied that I planned on going back after my leave. but then the decision was made for me.
My department's contract wasn't renewed before I went on maternity leave and it was uncertain if it would be. About a month after my daughter was born we found out for sure that it wouldn't be renewed. My department and my job were eliminated and they didn't have a comparable position to offer me. The decision was finally made for us, though a bit abruptly.
It was a little scary, but I'm glad it turned out this way. Sometimes I wonder how different it would have been, sometimes I miss working outside the home. Five years ago I wouldn't have believed you if you told me I'd be a stay-at-home parent, but here I am and I love it.

"This book should have diamonds"
The honestly. I never heard of his case.Still this book alongside "The end of your life book club" and "The help" have a special place in my heart his warm voice
Makes me shiver. This man is a modern Mandela. The difference? He is not ready to forgive yet. His narration is perfect and raw.
Damien and jason.
His raw and calm honesty
His story about the priest on a motorbike.
You.need this audiobook.
"Her best yet The perfect summer listen"
I never give listens rankings. This book is more mature. No eye.rolling or "She said he said" you meet a woman who speaks her Truth. Forget any cry-baby pages . This lady knows how to stand-up for herself. My favorite by the author so far. It is better written and if you are digging her earlier books: Grab it! New to the author? You do not need the other stories to enjoy this.
Walking disaster, beautiful disaster, who asked you, out of easy. They all contain great stories about interesting characters. Who asked you? Is in a league of it's own.
Sounded a little too much like Emma Galvin..; that is not a bad thing. The characters should have sounded a bi older.
" The secret brother"
Perfect summer listen. Credit worthy for any girl over 18. Not like 50 shades a all. However does sadly contain a few adult scenes. You can pass them if you prefer they do not contain any info..They have been added to include 50.fans. In my opinion.
"Straight-up: Real crime and prison time"
I have wanted to get this since season one started. Finally Europeans can listen to this alongside Audible friends accross the globe.
The fact that the book explains her stay in a very realistic way. The sex focus in season one was way too much. I do not have any knowledge about prison, but even I knew the sex stuff was not realistic and the book confirns this.
11:11:11should have gone faster. I was bored out of my mind until chapter three .
I would made it shorter.
This is a memoir... But, okay. "Yoga-Janet"
Where is she today?
"New-age at it's. Worst"
No. If I want to learn about God I will read the scriptures and listen to a talk.
I am currently listening to "Orange is the new black".
The author.
"This has no typical Christian content: This is lif"
Have not read it. This is read by the author which brings a sense of true pain to it. This glides on because it is a memoir.
Her attitude. It shows that the way out is open IF we dare being true.
Her experience of backtalk in a Christian-setting. So honest and important regarding how NOT to treat others.
"Behind dad's cash"
"Mental Er."
Easy deep life-changing
The fact that it works right away. When in doubt of What to do; choose a random part by going to the app menu. Each part takes no more than three minutes to listen to. At the end of each message is an option to share the main content using 140 letters making sharing the main Content Easy and fun!
I have the book and the audio. The audio is like having her with you. Helping you Calm down and feel supported.
It is actually done! A three hour packed workshop. Free for anyone who buy the book.
This is straight-to-the-point it will give you a solution now. I love all her books. This is less talk more action. It Is Indeed Her best yet.
"True wisdom with a bigger picture"
Yes. This listen is done in one evening. However , the mixture between a memoir(without a boring minute.) and Reggies honest wish for you and I to be what we can be - someone unlike any other. Yes. Reggie is a Christian and the book does refer to the bible. My non Christian friend said" This book is not like other Christian books. It even lifted me!"
I have heard him on tbn. The book is way more accessible and the perfect gift for yourself if you want to be lifted up and really feel like somebody wrote this because they care. The perfect gift for yourself.
Life is hard but you will make it.
"Fantastic about being Christian"
Honest, one-sitting and well written.
Adam - because of his actions.
Bad things happen but God is in full control
A thrill. Clean Christian romance with a storyline that makes you see it could happen to you.
"Almost too amazing!"
The way characters and different era's take you on a journey like few other novels match. The Personalitiea are Amazingly Heartwarming
Ethan: Won't spoil the story , when you listen you will see why.
Ethan and Jools at the office.
Life: Things change but remains the same.
"A great intro to The desire map"
The main desire map is not your boring self development listen. It is a new angle which Requres your willingness to honestly answer yourself: How do you want to feel? Each listener will get a very different results. This is alternative but not New age. Filled with God but not religious
This is new theory.
By being herself. She even freestyles in the audio from.
It was perfect!
Yes: Go for this if you are new to the desire map. Ready to make it? Go for the full desire map experience. This is great for those who like me wants everything Danielle laporte .
"Chick-lit without big laughs with a message!"
I have not read the print. Rosalyn Landor is one of few able to give men a true authentic voice.
Including a chapter seen from those mattering to Lexi. What do they each really think and feel?
Her work is beyond fantastic!

For some at Aberdeen Proving Ground, New Jersey is still home
With their base relocated, hundreds are commuting daily or on weekends

Jim Schoening of Wall, N.J., boards the bus at Aberdeen Proving Ground for the long commute back home. (Lloyd Fox, Baltimore Sun / July 23, 2012)
Every Friday, she drives from her cozy mobile home in Harford County to her childhood home near the seaside in Point Pleasant Beach, where she lived until her job with the Army came to Maryland. Every Monday, she makes the trip back.
She's one of hundreds who haven't completely relocated — or haven't relocated at all — since the Pentagon shut down Fort Monmouth in New Jersey and moved thousands of jobs 150 miles southwest to Aberdeen Proving Ground.
"It's a mixed bag of whatever fits your schedule and what you can live with," said O'Connor, chief information officer for the Communications-Electronics Command, the largest of the agencies that came from Fort Monmouth.
Some in the New Jersey crowd stay here during the week and go home on weekends, like O'Connor. Others go back and forth every workday by van, bus or car. Still others cut down on commuting by working at home.
More than 300 of the Communications-Electronics Command employees at Aberdeen have New Jersey addresses on file with the Army. It is unclear whether the number includes those living part-time in both states.
Robert DiMichele, a spokesman for the Communications-Electronics Command, said the Pentagon's periodic base relocation efforts more typically involve distances that require civilian workers to choose between moving or quitting.
"This is a fairly unique circumstance because of the ability — on the fringe, I must admit — to commute," DiMichele said.
The same round of base relocations, approved in 2005 and completed last September, offered another example. Organizations with headquarters in Northern Virginia moved to Fort Meade in Anne Arundel County — near enough that many workers expected to commute, at least for a while.
The Fort Monmouth area, however, is about four times as far away. Several dozen Aberdeen workers ride a chartered bus from New Jersey to the base. Trenton-based Triple D Travel charges $50 for a round trip and $450 for the entire month. Owner David Tenney said the 56-seat bus was running full until recently, when vacations sliced ridership into the 40s.
At first, though, there was just the driver and a single passenger. Tenney laughs at the memory. He's glad the numbers rose.
"It has turned out to be a good thing for us," he said. "You get to know everybody. ... It's kind of like a big family."
Philip Chan, a scientist at the Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen, suggested that Tenney give the daily trip a try after finding few mass-transit options. He thinks the bus beats driving, in terms of cost and stress. During the year he rode it to and from his home near Princeton, he read or caught up on sleep.
But commuting ate up large pieces of his life. Each morning, he arose at 5 a.m. to catch the bus for the two-hour trip south. Every evening, he got back at 7 p.m. It seemed as though he hardly saw his wife and children, ages 10 and 13.
"It took a toll on my health and my family," Chan said.
He says the daily long-distance commuters generally are close to retirement and figure they can manage for a few years or they're still deciding whether to move or quit.
Chan moved. His family bought a house in Ellicott City in July, which cut his commute to about 50 minutes each way.
"It's a lot better," he said. "I've been around for so long in [the] New York-New Jersey area, I'm really attached to it — emotionally attached. I didn't want to move. But ... my wife insisted."
Renee Ullman, a management analyst at the Communications-Electronics Command, has been taking a van pool to work for the past 16 months. The four-hour round trip isn't exactly fun, but she figured it would take her almost as long if she accepted a job in Manhattan.

Ersan + no one = miserable: Raptors 116 – Bucks 94
Category: Recaps
|Ersan Ilyasova, PF Shot Chart 33 MIN | 11-16 FG | 4-4 FT | 9 REB | 0 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 29 PTS | +3
It only took about three months, but when I saw Ersan shoot, I actually had the expectation that his shot was going to go in. He struggled badly early on last season as well, before playing very well once he established himself in Jim Boylan's rotation. But I can't help but wonder if an $8 million player is really worth that if he's only that player for about half the season?
|Khris Middleton, PF Shot Chart 35 MIN | 1-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 5 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 2 PTS | -25
His night was summed up near the end of the first half when he received a pass on the break from OJ Mayo … and immediately fumbled it out of bounds. He couldn't make a shot or do much, though it's nice to see him dish out five assists on a night he played very poorly.
|Larry Sanders, C Shot Chart 27 MIN | 2-8 FG | 2-4 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 6 PTS | -3
Zero technical fouls. Zero flagrant fouls. Not ejected. He's reset the bar for himself, so this night felt like kind of a success, despite 25% shooting and an impressive performance from his positional counterpart Jonas Valanciunas.
|Brandon Knight, PG Shot Chart 28 MIN | 4-11 FG | 6-6 FT | 4 REB | 4 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 16 PTS | -5
Played perfectly average offensive basketball, which he's prone to doing. But everyone on the Bucks failed defensively Monday night.
|Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG Shot Chart 33 MIN | 5-10 FG | 1-4 FT | 7 REB | 4 AST | 2 STL | 1 BLK | 4 TO | 11 PTS | -13
More and more, Giannis is coming off curls with a mission. He'll catch and swipe the ball, then look to make a decision about what comes next. The man who lingered in corners like he was waiting for a bus is looking like a distant memory on nights like this one. His aggression is a pleasure.
|John Henson, PF Shot Chart 17 MIN | 4-6 FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 4 BLK | 2 TO | 8 PTS | -23
He looked a lot like the healthy version of Henson that we've grown to love. Quickly upon checking in for the first time, Milwaukee ran a play to get him a look in the post, though he whiffed on the hook shot. He had a very strong put back dunk at one point as well. But neither he nor Sanders defended Valanciunas well.
|Caron Butler, SF Shot Chart 16 MIN | 2-7 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 1 TO | 5 PTS | -22
|Miroslav Raduljica, C Shot Chart 4 MIN | 2-3 FG | 1-2 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 5 PTS | +7
'Slav is in a tough spot with Sanders and Henson both healthy and Ersan coming back to life. He isn't fighting for many minutes with Ekpe Udoh, who did not play, but there are still big men blocking him, especially when Milwaukee uses either Butler or Middleton at the four. So he'll sit and wait and contribute when he gets his chances.
|Luke Ridnour, PG Shot Chart 24 MIN | 2-6 FG | 1-2 FT | 1 REB | 7 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 7 PTS | -10
He still looks completely different as a point guard than Brandon Knight in a lot of good ways. He's a better passer in the pick and roll, partly because Knight has so much athletic ability that he can get into the paint. But Knight is often out of control when he enters the paint, so it doesn't pay off as much as it seems like it should. Ridnour understands his limitations better, probably because he has many more limitations. But knowing is half the battle, so say the good folks who made the G.I. Joe cartoon when I was a child.
|O.J. Mayo, SG Shot Chart 18 MIN | 2-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 2 TO | 5 PTS | -26
Two Things We Saw
- Milwaukee went 9-for-19 on 3-pointers, but only attempted five in the second half. I'm not sure if blame should be thrown at the Bucks for abandoning what cut a large lead down to eight at half or if kudos should be showered upon the Raptors for limiting Milwaukee's attempts. The Bucks aren't going to win many games in which they attempt only five threes in a half.
- I've long been critical of anyone and everyone who has referred to Ersan Ilyasova as a small forward or even asked about lineups with him at that position. But last night, for one glorious (miserable?) minute, the Bucks rolled out a lineup with Sanders-Henson-Ilyasova all in there together. I guess when things get this far out of control, why not experiment with whatever. Seems like Ilyasova wouldn't be able to guard on the perimeter, but I'm not sure Caron Butler can either. "Screw it" may as well be the motto at this point.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task.

"Seems like Ilyasova wouldn't be able to guard on the perimeter, but I'm not sure Caron Butler can either. "Screw it" may as well be the motto at this point."
Caron was actually playing SG at that point.
Also, another interesting lineup:
Ridnour, Mayo, Middleton, Butler, Henson
1:32 Khris Middleton enters the game for Ersan Ilyasova
1:32 Caron Butler enters the game for Giannis Antetokounmpo
8:52 Official timeout
6:48 Raptors Full timeout
6:48 Larry Sanders enters the game for John Henson
5:39 Giannis Antetokounmpo enters the game for Khris Middleton
5:39 Brandon Knight enters the game for Luke Ridnour
I couldn't believe how long he stuck with a lineup that seemed so ineffective. Especially Middleton offensively. I couldn't believe when no changes were made after that official timeout. I was ready to see Wolters and Raduljica come in.
Coach Drew has been awful at substituting players in and out. Can't figure it out…he will stick with a group far too long while opponent's open up significant leads.
I can't do any better…im no nba coach-but I think Coach Drew has the players to insert in order to switch momentum during game. GO big when necessary…GO smaller when necessary…mix it up when necessary. We have NOTHING TO LOSE….we won't be moving up the standings regardless. However,…a few wins would go looooooong way for team moral.
If Luke is an upgrade over Brandon in many ways, then maybe it's time to start thinking about adding another point guard to team. Consider which of our veterans won't likely be here in a year or two, and trade a couple of them for a more natural and nuanced point guard — which would also leave open a roster spot if we want to do something else.
The reason I'm so big on this is that this season looks to continue as so utterly miserable without someone at the point to direct and distribute. Let's at least try someone else.
I hope we don't get down on Khris or neglect him the way some people seemed to do with Tobias last season. It's hard to excel on a team in such disarray! Even us amateurs know how deflating it can be to play on a team where the ball isn't moving around, and guys are jacking up shots all around, and chaos rules over cohesion and cooperation.
If we have to trade one of our young guys — which I'm extremely reluctant to do, and only as a last resort — let's get something much, much better than what we got from the Magic last year, and more lasting.
I'm skeptical that a lottery pick will turn things around next year if we don't start turning things around now. Check out the Cavs and Wizards… even if those teams do get it together with all of the top picks on their rosters, it's not as though it's a given, or that it's going to happen overnight. Plus, even if we get a LeBron, or Carmelo, or Dwight… well, how did that work out for the teams that drafted them?
Read that last sentence again and really think about what u just said….
"Plus, even if we get a LeBron, or Carmelo, or Dwight… well, how did that work out for the teams that drafted them?"
2003-10 Cleveland Cavaliers: 349-225 (.608), 1 Finals appearance, 1 EC Finals appearance, 5 total playoff appearances
2004-2012 Orlando Magic: 371-269 (.578) 1 Finals appearance, 1 EC Finals appearance, 5 total playoff appearances
2003-2011 Denver Nuggets: 388-268 (.591) 1 WC Finals appearance, 8 total playoff appearances.
What is your definition of "working out", anyways?
Is that what you guys really want, a player who teases you with spectacular stats, but only moderate success, and then skips town? Do you really want to buy tickets and jerseys, and invest your cheers until your throat is sore, for selfish mercenaries who are biding their time until they get a better deal? (Sure, honey, we had some great times dating for the last six years, until you dumped me and married that hottie from your office?)
What kind of hard recoveries have the Cavs and Magic been having ever since they were jilted by their superstar draft picks? At least the Nuggets got something for Carmelo, maybe even did better in the exchange — but when they did have him, how much playoff success did they have in all those years?
Plus, if Carmelo is the kind of player I think he is, I don't want a guy who is going to be a hyper-shooting ball hog and black hole. At least LeBron will pass the ball; all he did wrong was basically tell his hometown to go to hell with a smile on his face, then pack his beachwear and nightclub attire for South Beach. As for Dwight, do you really want that kind of exasperating and sickening soap opera for the Bucks?
At least we have some young guys on the Bucks now — plus possibly a couple of vets — who seem like good guys, though it's hard to tell. (Please, Giannis, don't change!!!) I hope our front office and coaching staff are rewarding the good ones with minutes and appreciation, while making plans to move the selfish ones out.
I know sports is somewhat of a business, but if there's no loyalty from all sides (players, management, fans), and there's no continuity in rosters, then I'm about ready to move away from pro sports, and to stop caring if the Bucks move away from Milwaukee. If all Bucks stands for is Dollar Bills, then screw it — they can become the Seattle StarBucks.
However, maybe there is hope: The Packers had something like 95% of their roster this season with guys who had only played for the Packers in their entire careers. The Spurs seem to keep their core guys. Maybe it can be done! Maybe we should have higher standards.
Also, BigDog, if you're the one who called me a lone wolf in a negative way, as though I like instigating dissent for the fun of it, then I hope these comments are evidence that I am sincerely passionate about what I say, and that I'm sincerely sick and tired of the Bucks being a loser and laughingstock for all these years.
If players don't want to come to Milwaukee, it's because of the front office, not the city — Milwaukee is just fine as a city! (I don't want the players who pick their city based on strip clubs, anyway.)
What I don't get is how I seem to get so much heat on this site while Herb Kohl and John Hammond basically get a pass for running a slipshod organization that is an embarrassment to Milwaukee.
For example, Ted, does anyone ever ask why the front office doesn't have any roster space, and thus doesn't have much flexibility, and why it used up its roster space on broken down has-beens (with possible exceptions)? For Jeremy and Mitch, does anyone ask why Brandon Knight has to be our point guard for the entire season; is that what we really want, or is that what Kohl/Hammond want? Are we not allowed to even consider alternatives while we're almost last in scoring? Also, Ted, why can't we look into the D-League; are those guys really so inferior compared to some of the guys we had over the last few years, including right now?
No hard feelings to anyone, but I am kinda hurt by the flack and resistance I get at times. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Maybe I have anger issues like Larry. Maybe I'm widely hated, or at least disliked, or dismissed as an annoying crank… and people wish I would just go away, including Jeremy and Mitch. However, my final question would be: Is this a place for respectful but passionate discussion and debate, or is it a public relations site for the Bucks' front office, where we make endless excuses for their endless blunders and give them ten years or more to give us a winning team with a measure of class?
I don't really have time to match you essay-for-essay, but your broken record act might be part of the reason that you get resistance or not answered or whatever.
I'd sure rather have a half decade of being a legitimate contender over what's happened over the last decade for the Bucks, that's for sure. Like it or not, star players are the way you win in today's NBA. You may not like how they act or their character or whatever-which is fine-but if you want to see the Bucks be successful, then you want them to have a star player. And where do those players come from? More often than not, the lottery.
My point was that those players brought success with them – the Cavs and Magic, in particular, were legitimate title contenders with Lebron or Dwight. They also ran up against one of the great dynasty teams in the Lakers that denied them each a title. LeBron singlehandedly brought Cleveland from the bottom of the league to within a few games of winning it all. But hey, since he wasn't a perfect, loyal choirboy I suppose they should have passed up the best player in a generation for a "good guy", right?
As far as leaving – they're looking out for their best interests. If their best interest was to stay where they were, don't you think they would have? Guys want to win championships, simple as that. Try to tell the best player in the league that he should stay where he is and pass up his chance to achieve his goals. Sure, loyalty counts, but shouldn't the players' wishes count as well?
And it really comes back down to – would you rather have success for a while, or no success at all?
BigDog hit it right on the head…SFish sometimes I think you are just trolling us all with some of the things you say..what do u think is realistically the ceiling of this Bucks franchise in the next 5 years?
So if the Bucks were #1 in the draft and LeBron was sitting there, you wouldn't take him? Pretty sure you'd be reminding everyone every day that the Bucks had a chance at LeBron and instead took Darko Milicich or whatever the hell his name was.
That last reply was to Sfisch… Can't figure out the quoting I guess.
I truly don't know what trolling is, but I will say that I've been a huge Bucks fan since the days of their one championship when I was about age 8, and that everything I write on this site comes from the heart. Yes, I agree that I may be a broken record at times, that I tend to get carried away, and that I may be somewhat wild, whacky and weird — but I am totally sincere. I thought a sports site like this was one of the few places left in America where I could be a little over the top — perhaps wrongly, or to a fault — but I try to be respectful and even kind to everyone.
Mostly, I try to generate discussion: Why isn't Tobias playing? Doesn't he rate 15 or 20 minutes? Is it sound to bring in 11 new guys in one season, and especially without a true point guard? Who might we consider adding at point guard… maybe Kendall Marshall? Why are we so concerned about Ish's shooting but not Nate's? Scott Suggs looked good to me in summer league… how about giving him a try? Would a good nickname for Giannis be the Greek Antelope? I tend to be opinionated; but know that I could very well be wrong; and am really interested in what others think.
My more subtle comments don't get much positive response, and neither do my edgier ones. That probably shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but I guess it does. I know I could always leave and bother other people on other blogs, but have been reluctant to do so. Again no hard feelings, even with sometimes hurt feelings, or disappointed ones. I'm still learning to accept things in life the way they are, at least to some extent. I really do wish and pray the best for everyone, and try to be largely positive.
I do wish I got some credit for many of my intuitions about players being right on the mark, far exceeding even my own expectations, to the point where there's a lot of luck involved. Whether the guys I've talked about thrive or not in the long run, it's been uncanny how well they've done in the short run… Kendall with 16 assists last night, Scott averaging 17 points on about 49% shooting, including 43% from the arc, even Ish doing pretty well of late, Tobias rounding back into form after an ankle injury, Khris Middleton, Miroslav… my hunches and impressions are all on record.
As an example, I never dreamed that Tobias would excel as he did last season for the Magic, including a 30 point/19 rebound game last April against the Bucks, the best performance ever by a 20-year-old except for LeBron (as Jeremy pointed out). You might say in response that Tobias' masterpiece was only against the Bucks, but then where does that leave the Bucks of last season, and then again, where does that leave the Bucks of this season? To be relevant, what kinds of crazy moves are the front office plotting right now as we approach this trade deadline? Is anyone else TERRIFIED?
Finally, I think covering our eyes, putting our fingers in our ears, and twiddling our thumbs waiting for a top lottery pick is a formula for quite possible serious disappointment (as well as likely hand fatigue). Again, one of my repetitive comments/questions: How long do we give our front office to turn things around? At least one of us is getting old, more or less cranky, and perhaps a little senile.

SNELLVILLE -- A student with special needs was taken to the hospital early Friday morning after a school bus overturned.
The wreck occurred at about 6:30 a.m., after the bus driver had just started the route. "(The student) was the first one the driver had picked up," said District Spokesman Jorge Quintana.
Quintana said that the student was transported to an area hospital as a precaution, but that neither the student or the driver were injured.
The bus was picking up Craig Elementary students, when it overturned on Mink-Livsey Road off Pleasant Hill Road.
Further details about the incident were not yet available.
Quintana said the student's parents were notified.

After initially issuing a denial, fast food chain Burger King has admitted that traces of horse meat were found at one of its European processing plants.
"The fast food chain, which has more than 500 UK outlets, had earlier given a series of 'absolute assurances' that its products were not involved," the Daily Mail reported.
The traces of equine DNA were found at Silvercrest, an Irish subsidiary of ABP Food Group. An investigation determined the company had been selling beef mixed with horse meat.
ABC News reports that Silvercrest provided meat to all of Burger King's restaurants in Ireland, the U.K. and Denmark.
The chain immediately stopped using Silvercrest and switched to a different supplier, the article stated.
According to the Daily Mail, the scandal threatens to erode the confidence of UK consumers in the restaurant chain.
"Burger King has faced allegations of orchestrating a cover-up of its links to the horsemeat scandal in order to give it time to find an alternative supplier," the Daily Mail reports. "It is currently shipping in tens of thousands of burgers from suppliers in Germany and Italy in order to meet demand at its UK outlets."
In the meantime, Burger King has assured American consumers that locations in the United States are not supplied by Silvercrest.
"We have stringent and overlapping controls to ensure that the products we sell to our customers meet our strict quality standards," a company spokesperson told CNN.

Newsletter "Heritage"
Letter from the President
Dear Friends:
Kenneth J. Bialkin
As this newsletter makes clear, your support has helped the American Jewish Historical Society make enormous strides in the past several months. We´ve relocated a significant portion of our collections to our new home in New York. Our research operations in both New York and Waltham are in full swing. In addition to visiting our research centers, you can make inquiries about American Jewish history and genealogy at our e-mail address: firstname.lastname@example.com. I also hope you will visit our website at www.ajhs.org.
We have plans to enhance and expand our website to better show the richness of our collections.
We are pleased to welcome the Hadassah Archives and the Gomez Mill House to our New York headquarters. We look forward to strong, collaborative relationships with both institutions in the future. We are also working closely with the American Society for Jewish Music to present musical programs in New York.
The Society has extended its reach and impact because thousands of individuals, businesses and foundations have been generous in supporting us. I want to thank each one of our members, donors, academic counselors and supporters who make us stronger by their gifts of time, energy and financial support.
It has been said, A people who has no sense of its past is a people without a future. By preserving the record of our history in this country, we assure that our children and grandchildren will have a firm foundation for their identities as Jews and Americans. Thank you for helping us fulfill this noble mission.
Kenneth J. Bialkin
AJHS Grows with the Addition of the Hadassah Archives
Henrietta Szold
Under a unique arrangement, the archives of Hadassah, the Women´s Zionist Organization of America, will be relocating from Hadassah headquarters to the new home of the American Jewish Historical Society at the Center for Jewish History in New York.
With 900 linear feet of archival material, including manuscripts, photographs, microfilm, audio and video tapes and various kinds of artifacts, the Hadassah archives is an invaluable collection that documents the founding, development, and achievements of the organization since its founding in 1912 by Henrietta Szold. Researchers will find materials on Hadassah´s involvement in healthcare, education, and youth projects in Israel as well as the American chapters´ interest and dedication to similar projects in this country. Among the many items of interest are the original employment agreement between Szold and the nurses who traveled to Palestine in 1918 as part of the American Zionist Medical Unit, the precursor to Hadassah Hospital, and also material relating to Hadassah´s support of Youth Aliyah. The archivist of the Hadassah Archives, Susan Woodland, has relocated to the Society´s offices and is available to assist scholars and researchers in the Center for Jewish History´s reading room.
Hadassah selected AJHS as its new archival home after consideration of a number of alternatives. The Society looks forward to a long and happy relationship with the Hadassah Archives.

Hostess CEO cuts everyone's pay but his
Gregory Rayburn argues that because he isn't on the Hostess payroll, he should still get his full $125,000 a month.
Gregory Rayburn will still get his $125,000 a month, or $1.5 million a year, the company told The Huffington Post. His logic is that because he isn't on the Hostess payroll, he doesn't have to take part in the company-wide pay cut.
Rayburn looks at himself as temporary, telling The New York Post he's more like outside help and therefore entitled to his full salary. He said he will leave Hostess when he's no longer needed, the Post reports.
Rayburn joined Hostess in February as chief restructuring officer, and one month later was named president and CEO. He's also on the board of directors.
To be fair, Rayburn is taking some measures to rein in his pay. He was eligible to get a bonus of between $375,000 and $1.125 million, but decided to give up the money, The Huffington Post reports. And Rayburn and three other top executives are taking $1 for the rest of the year in pay, but their full salaries will be reinstated in January.
That's small comfort to the rank-and-file employees who watched a number of Hostess executives get sweet pay raises and bonuses as the company barreled into bankruptcy. The company wants 19 top managers to stay with Hostess as it moves into the liquidation phase, and got approval from a bankruptcy judge to award up to $1.75 million in retainment bonuses.
The execs only get those bonuses if they perform specific tasks related to easing the operational wind-down, a company spokesman told The Los Angeles Times. Rayburn won't be getting a bonus.
At least 15,000 Hostess employees are losing their jobs in bankruptcy, but Hostess wants to keep about 3,200 to help wind down operations.
Hostess cracked under nearly $1 billion in debt, and blame for its demise can be spread far and wide. Private-equity firms funding the company couldn't get it off the ground. When consumers lost interest in carbs and sugar, the biggest innovation Hostess could come up with was banana-filling Twinkies. Although union members agreed to steep concessions over the years, it still failed to adjust to new realities. The old CEO, Brian Driscoll, suddenly bailed in March without explanation, Fortune reports.
More from Money Now
While I agree he makes a lot of money, it is realative to many other CEOs. With that in mind why aren't we all up in arms about the exorbitant amounts of money that professional athletes make? This guys $1.5M a year is peanuts compared to almost every pro athlete in America. Who can afford to go to an NBA game any more? When top athletes make $10-$20M a season not counting endorsements that is outrageous! The owners are often making more than that, again outrageous! Then there are actors who make up to $20M for one movie. Outrageous!
Well I guess if I don't have a marketable skill that will pay me that kind of money then no one else should be able to make that much either. Let's set all wages the same no matter what you do or what skill you have everyone should make the same. The government should set the wages we make and then we'd all have the same. Wealth redistribution determined by the federal government that is what we need. That will solve all our financial problems. Good Luck with that!
Another example of the way those at the top have such little connection with the reality of the current economy, or what is happening in their own company. No one needs that much money. Does anyone really deserves that much money, especially if the company or organization he or she is running is going under?
I'd bet dollars to donuts that he's all for keeping the Bush tax cuts, too, which is no more than an ENTITLEMENT program for the rich! Hippocrites, all of them.
How much longer will the "peasant class" (aka the 99%) of the United States take it before they storm the "Bastille," and remove these kinds of people from power?

The population was extremely old! I know that this is not Norwegians fault but my God, all the scooters, walkers, and canes became a safety hazard for everyone else. Way too many passengers for the size of ship, it seemed.
Another area that we found truly amazing was that the tv in our room was older, tube type, 11 inch screen, with only four or five stations; only two were movies and they replayed over and over!
The Jewel looks beat up! It looked tired! I found myself constantly comparing this ship and its services to Royal Caribbean, which we are avid cruisers. There is no comparison at all! Our travel agent did tell us that but we thought possibly it would be nice to try another line. We will never, ever, book another cruise with Norwegian again! If not for the entertainment I would rate this entire cruise a two star!

NARRATOR: The following excerpt is courtesy of Art 21, Inc. In it, Roni Horn talks about the genesis of her piece Ellipsis (II). RONI HORN: There's this swimming pool, actually in Reykjavik, that I really fell in love with. The swimming pool itself is quite beautiful, but then when I went down to the locker room, the locker room was amazing. There's not one interior-exterior edge among this nest of lockers, it's just an endless tiled surface. And it's got a collection of doors that are both opened and closed. And it's got these peepholes. The peepholes are what really drew me in because you just wonder what the hell are those peepholes doing there? And nobody seems to know. It was this incredible kind of almost voyeuristic delight. This space was designed by a voyeur and a chess player, I decided. I shot it in a way to kind of bring out more of that sensual aspect, to balance against the antiseptic quality of the architecture.
