Crew Noticeboard: 8492nd Squadron, 6 Star Street Racers and Others Now Recruiting
The Crew Noticeboard is our featured column of Crews actively seeking new members to join their ranks where we publish your recruitment pitches in your own words.
Crew recruitment pitches tend to come to our Noticeboard from all corners of the map and represent a diverse variety of styles and preferences. From the radical up and comers, to the established elite, many look to increase their numbers and influence across the Social Club. Our latest round of pitches here includes the flight-savvy flyboys (and girls) of the 8492nd Squadron and Banzai Bombers along with the fly whips of the 6 Star Street Racers. Read on ahead to see if one of these Crews is right for you
Flying high and setting their sights on being the premier aces of the skies above Los Santos and Blaine County, the 8492nd Squadron, led by V_Jackal_V expertly demonstrate that a pesky flu isn't the only airborne virus you're in danger of catching when you don't take the proper measures to protect yourself.
"The Golden Age of the pilots may have died out long ago. However many honorable aviators still hold their cherished memories of dogfights and running endless circles of death around their helpless targets close at hand. Let this Crew act as a home for those skilled pilots that may have become misplaced with the times and let them find their way here. Also, perhaps, think of this as a place for rookie pilots wishing to become more skilled to sharpen their abilities.
Here at the 8492nd our main priority is aviation in Grand Theft Auto V. Honing our skills in the air, working as a team, and carrying on with our abilities to completely subdue unfortunate unsuspecting players. We also participate in special Deathmatches made for the purpose of dogfights and the like.
As evil as the agenda may sometimes appear, we are also up to the task of assisting other Crews and players if they are ever in need of some support from the skies. We will often fly escort missions if a friendly Crew needs absolute air superiority while traveling in any commercial aircraft."

Mysterious forces of darkness may conspire to empower Crews like the Devil Squad Gangstas but it is enthusiastic members like DSGxFresh who move their core recruitment efforts along. While they adhere to a few conventional preferences when it comes to warfare, they are willing to adapt if the situation calls for it. Friends and foes alike may want to step lightly and wear some Super Heavy Armor when attending their car shows. They tend to end with a bang.
"Our Crew is known as the Devil Squad Gangstas. We have been playing various Rockstar Games online. Originally created on Grand Theft Auto IV, our squad has been around for a while now. Based on the Xbox 360 only, with our own Facebook group for members and a website in the works, Devil Squad is looking to expand. We have several members who have been in the Crew since day one, and some newer people but we are always looking for more active and loyal players. Currently we have about 30 plus active players. Our Crew is online every day, doing missions and attacking other Crews in Freemode.
The Devil Squad Gangstas like to reside in East Los Santos. Our Crew color is red and the secondary color is black. We don't like using mini-guns, rocket launchers, tanks etc. We like to try and stick to gun play, primarily assault rifles but will switch if our enemy doesn't like to play fair. We don't have many rules, aside from some pretty basic ones. No team killing, have a mic and be mature. Members in the Crew are actively creating Deathmatches with the Content Creator to practice amongst the Crew, which we have a lot of fun doing. Contact our Commissioner, dsgdevvo or our Lieutenant, Gamerholic9 if you are interested in joining."

On a wing and a prayer, KlownSnypr and the Banzai Bombers dive into their GTA Online lobbies with a carefree approach to gameplay and a helpful hand for fellow members. With the simple Crew Motto of "BANZAI" emblazoned across their emblem, be ready to duck and cover when this feisty Crew comes calling.
"Banzai Bombers is actively recruiting active members in the community. We are a Crew that does not take things as seriously as some of the others and quite frankly mock them for it. As a Crew, we mostly mission together and Crew around in free mode, robbing stores, playing mini-games, finding jumps, and finding unique areas for Creator content or to take Snapmatic pictures of.
Our rules are simple:
1. No outright killing of other Crew Members
2. Help a fellow Crew member in need of help
If you and another Crew member want to duke it out, both of you need to message the Commissioners or Leader before you do so. Above all it is just a game and we all want to have fun but if some jerk is trying to ruin your fun then as a Crew, we'll ruin theirs."
This Noticeboard's selection of featured Crew recruitment videos come to us from vallatorymidget and the rowdy bunch known as the Sons of BlackWood MC, along with the stylish 6 Star Street Racers, headed up by TMXTitanium.
"Love bikes? Love leathers? Want to start playing GTA Online in a new way like an ACTUAL MC club? Well there's some good news. Although we are small at the moment, (due to a recent rebirthing of our Crew) we are a new MC club looking to do just that! We are already in touch with other like-minded and more established MC clubs. The plan is to ride and play like a proper MC Club, acting as security detail for Simeon deliveries in free roam, hijacking joy riders, holding up stores and armored trucks, planning future Heists and last but not least having open map conflicts with other MC clubs with radar settings OFF! In these games, they could hijack our security details missions and vice versa, not to mention, we also engage in good old fashioned territorial disputes!
Another major factor of the Crew is to make videos in a way that helps promote us as a real MC club. Proper scripting, production and the like is important to us. The first 20 members to join us will have the honor of being an original! As well as being instrumental in choosing our territory. We are also very open to people setting up and leading their own S.O.B. Charters in different territories; If you want to get more of an idea of what we are about, then please watch our video below. It took a lot of work and hopefully you'll enjoy it and want to come and join us."
"We're the Six Star Street Racers and we're looking to recruit car enthusiasts with skill to play GTAV. We actively play and I personally have a long history on GTA with the community and hope to pass this experience on to other players and hope to have a hell of a lot fun doing so. We've taken on the theme of street racers, something a little different than the typical Crews seen in GTA Online. We're a tight-knit role-playing Crew looking only to recruit active and loyal members.
Work your way through our ranks, choose your specialty and challenge other members for the title of: Drift King, Drag King, Speed King, Grip King and Showdown King. Play alongside and against other role-playing Crews including: Mafias, MC's, Street Gangs, Military Crews etc...
Want to join us? Message SixStar Titan on Xbox Live and you'll be provided with the chance to take a time trial, beat the required time and you're in! If you can't beat that you can also request a Deathmatch trial and join us as a shooter rather than a driver."
If you're part of a Crew that's looking for new recruits, drop a link in the comments below for all to see (but only once – those who copy and paste spam the same recruitment message more than once at the Newswire will not be featured). Or hit us up at firstname.lastname@example.com and let us know why your Crew deserves recognition for originality, skill or effort... we may publish your want ad in a future Noticeboard.
This is also an ideal opportunity to show off your Crew pride with any fun group Snapmatic pics, Crew artwork creations or awesome gameplay vids that show everyone why your squad is the place to be or the team to beat. Remember to leave a link to your Crew's Social Club page so that you're easily spotted by those looking to answer your call.

Though it's called HomeClean Services, this company specializes in the commercial side of cleaning, making sure that offices are spotless and hygienic. But the expert team doesn't just scrub surfaces and clean up clutter. They also extract tough stains from carpets and remove allergens from the air, leaving pollen rooms less intolerable to be in.
Inside four Miami-Dade-area locations, Klinit Cleaners?s staffers spruce up domestic textiles of all sorts. They systematically remove smells and stains from sweaters, suits, and coats during dry cleaning treatments, or wash, dry, and fold other laundry by the pound. In addition to cleaning clothes, staffers also tailor hems, replace buttons, and repair shoes worn down by never-ending games of Red Rover. Customers can pick up their newly rejuvenated garments in-store, or arrange for complimentary delivery.
Mopfrog is a nationally focused, eco-friendly cleaning franchise, and each location is fully insured and bonded. Their team of cleaners restores the sparkle back to clients' homes, and helps shrink their carbon footprint along the way. They perform each cleaning session in the greenest way possible. A two-person team arrives armed with cleaning tools that have been carefully selected for their eco-friendliness, using Green Seal-certified cleaning solutions made with all-natural ingredients free of harmful chemicals that could accidentally dissolve sofas into thin air.
We are strongly committed to enhance people's lives by creating awareness through our professional organizers and assistants on how one's emotional and physical being can become balanced and healthy by leading an organized lifestyle.
Recently featured on HGTV's Mission Organization and WSVN-7 News, professional organizer Beth Levin of Closet Queen helps restructure spaces and de-stress her clutter-clogged clients' lives. Closets are purged or rooms redesigned with Closet Queen's proven stuff-scrubbing system, which begins upon Beth's arrival with a ritual junk cleansing and routine exorcism. After dated clothing, unwanted accessories, stuffed bison teeth, excess boxes, and more are removed, Beth will consult with the customer about storing, selling, or donating the overflow and will help homeowners implement solutions to better utilize the newly minted space. Carve out a closet niche for frequently misplaced purses, or find a more convenient spot for space-sucking moist-towelette collections. Throughout the painless process, Beth will provide patrons with tips on how to continue the rubbish removal and maintain their freshly tidied turfs.
Licensed and insured carpet-cleaning technicians from Carpet Savers have been restoring sullied floor coverings since 1974. Cleaners sweep whispering vacuums across threads to devour dust before cleansing fibers of lingering dirt and allergens. Drying fans then spin a breeze over carpets to fluff strands faster than the traditional methods of air-drying or yelling. Carpet Savers' schedule of available appointment times spans 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to fit a variety of schedules.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 96 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lindsay Great hotel! This hotel was lovely! From the time we arrived till the time we checked out, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We specifically want to recognize Tabatha at the front desk. We arrived early and we also booked the wrong size room for our group. She acted like it was no big deal - she easily changed our room and let us check in early and was able to keep us on the Club level. And then she offered to give us a tour of the facilities. She went above and beyond and was so friendly. My husband and I travel a lot and we rarely have such great customer service from hotel staff. She's a true gem! Now, onto the hotel. The renovation was done beautifully, however the pool area was very disappointing! Not inviting at all and lacked a hot tub. A hot tub is practically a must for us when we travel. The room was nicely done, but the bathroom is super tiny. Not a problem if there is only 1 or 2 people in the room, but we had 4. But the beds were super comfortable and the bedding was amazing. We stayed on the Club level and enjoyed many perks! Overall it was a great place to stay for 1 night. The pool and lack of hot tub would probably prevent us from staying for a longer period, mainly because our 3 yr old LOVES to swim. I hope my review doesn't deter anyone from staying here. It's beautiful, has great rooms, and awesome staff! January 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nonlinear A Good Stay Stayed here a week ago. I booked a basic king bed room. As an SPG Gold I was "upgraded" to an SPG Floor room with no view whatsoever. I suppose if I had been on the other side of the building I could have looked at I-635 and the high rise buildings of that part of the city. I enjoyed the food at the Front Yard restaurant inside the hotel. I was not asked about what I'd like to have for my Gold amenity at check-in and at check-out they had credited me with 250 points. I asked for the internet charges to be waived instead and the front desk worker readily made the switch. They did not ask if I was interested in the "Make a Green Choice" program, but I put the door hanger out each night and collected the cards. At check-out I was credited with the correct number of points for my nightly participation in MGC. The points and stay credits posted within a couple days of check-out. The room furnishings were nice enough. The climate control was adequate. The bed was very comfortable. The shower didn't have a ton of pressure, but it got the job done. The room included a mini-fridge and microwave. The bathroom was very small. The exercise equipment seems up-to-date and the room plenty big as I never saw anyone in there when I was using the equipment. I did not use the pool so I can't comment on that. The lobby area is very nice and a comfortable place to hang out. The Galleria is within easy walking distance of probably a half mile or less. February 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chiffymax Clubhouse Need more of an assortment. My room came with a complimentary clubhouse breakfast and only served old oranges and apples. Need breakfast bars. Drink assortment was good. August 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by harinibrk First time in Sheraton This is the first time I am staying in a Sheraton (am a frequent traveller). Here is the good - their customer service was good. Needs Improvement - the breakfast buffet - I had to pay extra to get the breakfast rate -It was not great - but slightly better than a lower grade hotel. Need to offer latte's as well. Bad/Ugly - 1. For the rate that is being charged (especially in Dallas) the Internet access should be complimentary. Get that at the other higher end hotels that I stay. 2. The room/bathrooms are relatively small. 3. The sleep quality was terrible. The noise of the air conditioner was loud, and the temp kept fluctuating quite a bit in the night. 4. When I switch on the TV, only the voice came - no picture initially. Took a few tries to get going. 5. The complimentary shaving blade that they gave was terrible - had several cuts. Need to put those toiletries in the room instead of being asked. I stayed at this hotel because my colleagues stayed here. I would not stay at this hotel again. August 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cel6 The food was excellent. I enjoyed both room service and the breakfast buffet. The choices were varied and everything I tried exceeded expectations. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CaliGirl415 It was a comfortable stay We enjoyed the stay at this hotel. Four: issues though: One: we had to sleep three people on one king sized bed. A roll-a-way bed costs $10 per night. Two: Internet service in the room was $12.95 per 24 hour period. This would be very costly for us since we were there 8 nights. Three: We asked once to not have our room cleaned and then they automatically put us on the "do not clean list". So, even when we didn't hang the card on the door for no cleaning we ended up not getting cleaned. When we asked to have our room cleaned they said they would take us off automatic "no cleaning" but the next day they had us on their do not clean list again. After three nights of no cleaning they finally took us off the list and cleaned the room on the fourth day. .Four: The shuttle only drives you within 3 miles of the hotel and public transportation is terrible in Dallas. There isn't much to do within 3 miles. There also isn't an airport shuttle. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emonallica Great 1 Night Stay We stayed at Sheraton Dallas Hotel by the Galleria just for a night. We arrived very late and the receptionist upgraded us to the Club Floor, which was very nice of him. Unfortunately, the Club Lounge was closed during the Christmas time. We were given complementary breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The lobby is nicely renovated for a Sheraton and the room was clean. We had a great 1 night stay. The only negative I could mention about this hotel is the road construction on highway 635. Traffic can be bad at times. But this has nothing to do with the hotel itself. This is a great Sheraton to stay at. January 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shay211 Great place to stay I really enjoyed my stay at the Sheraton. The rooms and especially beds were so comfortable. The only areas for improvement are my housekeeper did an awful job of cleaning the room. He or she only made the bed and changed out the towles. They did no other cleaning and didn't even bother to take out the trash in my room. Other than that the staff and facilities were great and the location is also close to many restaurants and shopping. July 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by eusriri Sheraton Galleria - April 15/16 2014 In general the hotel was fine - the Lobby was very nice and my room was quite spacious (1420) Pros: Room Size, Water Pressure, Lobby Cons: Drastic lack of power outlets!! Nothing by the desk or nightstand - #1 issue - I need my iPhone at my bedside fully charged in the morning. TV system needs to fixed. Had to turn on and off multiple times to get the screen to display a picture. No coffee shop in Lobby - love to just grab STRONG coffee in morning and go. I normally stay further north at Legacy and the Tollway - However I would consider staying in your hotel again, if you can improve the power outlet situation. Simple solution - power strip connected to outlet behind the bed. Thanks, Rich April 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by GreenwichR Very good stay I have been to Dallas many times and this hotel was as good or better than the others I stayed at in the area. There were a couple of events going on which gave the hotel a very lively feel. The food from the restaurant was much better than expected. Also, their shuttle service to local restaurants and shopping was run very often and well. July 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BC0421 Nice, but didn't appreciate the extra fees. The rooms were nice and they were clean. Most of the staff was kind and helpful. Richard at the front desk offered great service. Jeffrey in the club suite did not. We met another guest in your hotel who was very kind and we spent the evening with. When this guest gave us money because he wanted to treat my companion and I for dinner Jeffrey waited until the guest had left the room and asked us for money. We thought this was very unprofessional and a tip was a choice. I was also unhappy with the fact that this hotel adds extra fees to park and to use wifi. They charged us $11.95 per person per day to use internet there. Many other hotels would have been just as nice and provided these services and more for free. Finally, there was terrible construction right out front. This won't be a problem one day in the future, but it didn't look like that day would be anytime soon. Overall, I wouldn't recommend a friend to stay there. December 30, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gregory1002 Looks Nice But........ The Hotel Staff were friendly and professional. However, could not meet my minimal expectations of service. I called twice for a telephone to be delivered to my room but after 5 days, no telephone was delivered. A clock was delivered my third day. Late one afternoon, I decided to take a nap and put my "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. I was awakened 45 minutes later with a knock at the door from housekeeping. The parking gate which is supposed to be opened by your room key does not work half the time so you have to punch the "Assistance" button to get the staff to open the gate. There were other issues as well but for the sake of brevity, I will not address them. Do not stay at this hotel if you want a relaxing hotel stay. Something is wrong at this hotel. June 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Suni43 Refreshing Very comfortable hotel, good location, friendly staff members always ready to help,nice clean rooms, quiet club room very good for working, fresh breakfast, good coffee..., I will definitely recommend this hotel. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chenbing Incredible stay My girlfriend and I were on a weekend getaway road trip from Houston to Dallas. We stayed the first night at this Sheraton and the other at Renaissance, so there would be a direct comparison between the two. Sheraton by Galleria has a nice lobby that has been recently renovated, however the rooms are still a little aged. But they treat elite members well and I was upgraded to a club level room with key-secured elevator and free access to the club, which I did not even asked It also offers complimentary Internet access that has one of the best experience I have ever experienced. 20Mbps bandwidth all the time as I did a little bit test. The breakfast was a little disappointing largely due to the previous reviews that I read here. It's just below average level. I would love to stay here than Renaissance hotel in Dallas, although it's much more expensive in price but quite the same quality in service. July 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mark1026 Grest except for one thing I travel on weekends occasionally. When I do, I need to launder clothes. I was surprised to find that there were no laundry facilities on site. I ended up purchasing additional things rather than launder. A disappointment. July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dokester I'll Be Back Was this the best hotel I've ever stayed in? No. But it is nice and modern and well located -- assuming you can navigate the highway construction. The parking is a little hinky, with a weird layout. I finally figured it out. I was disappointed not to get SPG Platinum treatment on check-in and to end up in a regular room, but it was nice. The best part was the drapes, which fully closed and blocked out the light. The next best part was breakfast. Great buffet. I'll be back. June 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MaryS55 This hotel food was good The Hotel was experiencing problems with the elevators and was not fixed in timely manner, we were on the 8th floor so the wait was long, also room cleaning was not done timely had to wait 2hrs in lobby because of communication between staff. I have stayed their twice before because of the location close to family...don't know if I will try it again. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jillian7 Great Hotel Staff This hotel was very friendly and comfortable. The gentleman that greeted you at breakfast was absolutely wonderful. The location of the hotel is great; however, they are currently doing construction on the 635 which is inconvenient. Once that is completed, everything should be fine. July 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jackson7711 Maintenance Required The hotel seemed to be experiencing problems the weekend that we stayed there. The elevators were not working properly or at all. They were erratic at times taking us to the top floor and then down to our floor (a little scary). The plumbing in the room was poor--the sink and shower drained slowly . The water pressure for showers was poor. July 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by OkieGirl Stay was OK For a Sheraton hotel, I expected something a little better. The big plus was that the room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The biggest problem with our stay was that it appeared as if only 1 elevator was working (out of 3 elevators). That was a big problem. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kevbot Modern for a Sheraton This Sheraton was particularly modern and updated on the inside for a Sheraton. Typically I find most Sheraton's to be of a mediocre design and appointment. This Sheraton however had a very modern feel. The club lounge was closed becuase of the Christmas holiday and as a result we were given a voucher for free breakfast in the restaurant as well as 2 free appetizers in the bar. The bar was very nice and the bartender was very friendly. The older man working the breakfast buffet, I believe he was Hispanic, was one of the most friendly hotel employees I have encountered in the Starwood collection of hotels. He was a pleasure to talk to and made my wife and I's day. The location is convenient to both I-635 as well as the shopping and eateries of the Galleria. January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Happytravels123 Best staff ever!! This hotel was very nice, rooms were great, beds were VERY comfortable, but the best part about it was the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. The shuttle will take you anywhere within a 3 miles radius for free and one time when the shuttle driver was too far away the manager came out from behind the desk and drove us in another shuttle. When we wanted to go to a restaurant that we didn't know required reservations, the front staff offered to call for us. Just phenomenal service, they were willing to go above and beyond!! The only advice I have is that while the fitness center had a lot to offer, the cardio machines need service. Many were not working and the ones that did had slow screens, tv's on machines also did not work. Also, our shower had the least amount of pressure I've ever seen no matter what setting the head was on, but these are very minor issues. I would stay there again anytime I am in that area.

Do you wear makeup? Do your kids? If so, the one thing we want you to do this week is conduct a simple check list. We've discovered that most people don't know that there are heavy metals including -- and especially Lead. That's right a known carcinogen and potent neurotoxin might be in your lipstick and you wouldn't even know it because it's not on the label. (The FDA doesn't require the listing of heavy metals on any cosmetics.) So it can be hard to determine whether or not yours is truly safe. Without a lab. And so the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics set out to test lipsticks in a lab. And you know what they found? That lead is found in two thirds of all lipstick sold in the US. Lipstick isn't so pretty given that stat, is it?
Now, just because it's not on the label and you don't have a lab at home, you're not alone. Check for your lipstick brand on the chart here and if it's on it, well then, we suggest you may want to try another. But we leave that to you. This week get informed before you pucker up.

The Shock Doctrine
When we first pulled up our chairs in The Thought Kitchen one of the people whose thinking we referenced was Naomi Klein, until recently probably best known for her book No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies. (We took her literally by deciding not to put any external logos on our product, but that's another story). Klein has just published a controversial best seller entitled The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. In it she defines shock doctrine as "the use of public disorientation following massive collective shocks"wars, terrorist attacks, natural disasters"to push through highly unpopular economic shock therapy."
The metaphor of "shock" is important because her thesis stems from a contention that what works on a person also works on a nation. Think 9/11 and fear-induced politics that have eroded some of the fundamentals of what we knew as American democracy. To peer into her thinking, check out the short film by Alfonso Cuaron, who made Y Tu Mama Tambien and Children of Men. Klein was hoping he'd send her a quote for the book jacket, but instead he assembled a team of artists and this short film. Sweet indeed.

This video seems to be engaging in the very techniques that it indicts. The combination of footage and sound is shocking and persuasive — but I think it's only persuasive BECAUSE it's shocking.
October 2, 2007 at 2:37 pm | seamus says
Great movie. "Only a crisis, actual or perceived produces real change" is incredibly true. Note our stagnation on global warming, pension reform, health care, etc. To most people, none of these are real crises yet, so no change happens.
On the other hand, capitalist liberty is not a bad thing. To use an example in the film, isn't the new, capitalist China better off today than it was pre-Tienanmen Square? For all China's problems, hundreds of millions have better lives today than they did on back-breaking collective farms. The capitalist reforms are hardly unpopular; if anything, the Communist party's great challenge is growing its economy fast enough to keep bringing the other 800M peasants into something resembling a middle class.
October 2, 2007 at 4:47 pm | antonio says
I agree absolutely with mattymatt.
What are they thinking? that we need to be shocked out of our shock? Why the fabricated imagery, the fake how-to-torture slides? Why can't he only focus on the facts. I believe they're more shocking than any anguishing heart soundtrack.
They have drawn a thin line between critizicing and profiting with this video.
October 2, 2007 at 5:14 pm | Dave Lockwood says
Well, I see all the deep thinkers have already spoken. Is it too much to ask you folks to at least try to think? MattyMatt and antonio – I don't think Ms Klein was criticizing the use of emotionally charged imagery to make a point. I believe her point was to what purpose that imagery is engaged. Can you really say that using dramatic sound and images equates to killing hundreds or thousands of people to advance the fortunes of a particular group? Seamus – no one in their right mind is saying that capitalism is inherently evil. What is evil is unchecked capitalism. Nuanced thinking seems to be a disappearing art. I mourn its passing.
October 2, 2007 at 6:19 pm | Bina says
Four comments; three of them missing the mark by a wide margin. I can see that Naomi Klein has her work cut out for her.
Perhaps some people here need to be shocked in the right way, to be woken out of the trance that too many of the wrong kind of shocks have wrought. Why not take issue with the CONTENT, rather than the style–or is the content so shocking that you can only quibble about style in order to make any point at all? Think of 9-11 and what it shocked people into accepting–the erosion of their civil liberties. Has the loss of those liberties brought any 9-11 perpetrators to justice? NO? Only more profits for the war machine and its stakeholders? What a surprise.
Plus, I fail to see who is "profiting with this video". Is the video actually making money? No–it's just there to be seen. It's not a trailer. You are not obligated to pay to see a longer film. You may, however, be tempted to read the book, wherein there are no appalling bangs and booms to startle your delicate sensibilities. Maybe, if you read and take it to heart, YOU will be the one who profits for a change.
Also: "Capitalist liberty" is an oxymoron. Or rather, it's ironic: only the richest have liberties under capitalism; the rest have the leavings, or are directly enslaved, while capitalism is merely TOUTED as being a wonderful beacon of liberty. It is not. China may be capitalist now, but where is the liberty? Be honest, now. The Internet is severely censored in China; democracy does not exist, and is no nearer. Meanwhile, the Tiananmen massacre is down the memory hole; no one is allowed to talk about it. Most of China is poorer, not richer, as a result of "market reform"; sweatshop labor is the norm now, not the exception. Meanwhile, prisoners are being executed so that their organs can be harvested FOR PROFIT. This is an "improvement" over collective farms?
Oh yeah, and did I mention that CHINA HAS NO DEMOCRACY? And capitalism has not lifted a finger to change that! So much for capitalism as a progressive changemaker.
BTW, I'm not a Marxist. I'm just someone who is sick to death of The Way Things Are, and who is skeptical of the supposed wonderful liberties that capitalism just can't seem to bring except by sticking up small countries at gunpoint and brainwashing the masses into accepting less and less value for ever higher prices.
October 2, 2007 at 6:20 pm | D. Clearwater says
Seamus: I am not sure if "hundreds of millions" of Chinese are better off. Certainly, a small percentage of the population is profiting… but there are many reports that the rest of the population continues to suffer and while there are a large number of people working… some are being treated horribly. As usual, the move to capitalism is benefiting a small few… but keeping that 'small few' happy by letting them benefit is important because they will not mind the corresponding lack of political reform. Heck, children in China cannot even recognize a photo of Tiananmen square (see another excellent film made by PBS Frontline called "The Tank Man" at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tankman/ ). Unfortunately, the back-breaking farms are still there. But, Klein's critique is not a critique of capitalism or the market economy but a system where political and economic power is so concentrated that when disasters take place, the system tries to concentrate even more political and economic power. Also, China's change did not happen in a vacuum, it has been seriously helped by an expanding sphere of influence of transnational corporations in other countries (i.e. Wal Mart) and even by U.S. foreign policy decisions… which is all just more economic and political concentration of power.

First, I need to define the word "propaganda", since many people don't really understand what it means. It's not necessarily a pejoritive term. It means simply, "to motivate a group of people to action by means of a direct appeal to the emotions instead of taking the time to explain it rationally". Propaganda is necessary, because in times of imminent danger, groups may need to be rallied quickly. "Uncle Sam Needs You" and "Rosey the Riveter" were propaganda images that were used during WW2 to defeat Japanese incursion into China and Nazi invasions in Europe. There's nothing wrong with that.
Propaganda is effective if everyone can see the benefit of following the lead. If people aren't sure about whether they agree or not with the ultimate goal, it won't work. One of the big problems with recent liberal campaigns is their reliance on propaganda to put across concepts that are better dealt with rationally. It isn't good enough to just show Bush with a bullhorn and intercut that with explosions in the Middle East. The country isn't all on the same page when it comes to the best way to deal with international terrorism. Perhaps we know what *doesn't* work, but that's the easy part of the equasion.
This particular video spends almost all its running time using emotional imagery to try to convince us to read this book, then it puts the actual facts- the connections between events that are supposed to show a pattern- in quickly flashing text in the last few seconds. I personally think it's a great way to motivate those who already oppose free trade to buy the book. But propaganda isn't going to motivate anyone else. That would require arguing the case in a rational way.
The last few seconds were the most universally understandable and convincing of the entire video. It would have been better to focus on the links between events to prove the point, and show the solution to the problem. Spending most of the time on things blowing up and then shoehorning all the ideas into the last thirty seconds isn't effective at convincing those not already convinced.
But of course, it's more entertaining to show stuff blow up… That kind of stuff wins awards!
October 2, 2007 at 9:22 pm | o'serious child says
mattymatt that is an very keen observation. But is that reason to write off this video? Clearly not. If anything, we should applaud the makers of this film all the more. They, like pretty much everyone else these days, want real change. Hopefully this little 'crisis' of a movie will nudge us in that direction.
October 2, 2007 at 11:47 pm | Lev says
This film is utterly odious. While there is an excellent case to be made against unbridled capitalism, it is pure demagoguery to juxtapose images of torture with Milton Friedman's economic theories. This makes Ms. Klein's potentially persuasive argument look like a knee leftist propaganda rant. A film like this may play well with the kefiyah-wearing street-protesting radicals of the anti-free trade movement but it cannot be taken seriously as an indictment of globalization. I couldn't finish watching it, it's that stupid.

The drive-by on Milton Friedman in this movie is complete bullshit. IF his ideas were reality, without being twisted by so-called capitalists (crooks, lawyers and politicians), the entire world would be better off.
Milton is about free men & women creating and acting without coercion.
His "free market" is not the baloney 'free market' that is bandied about masking companies which leverage whore politicians & law makers into stealing from others.
These are equally evil to Friedman.
Actually go read a book my Friedman. His untainted ideas are friendly to anyone wanting to be free from the crooked of all stripes.

It seems I have another must read book to add to my list. For all of you who are having knee jerk reactions about this film, particularly those whose ire is a result of the discussion of economics – there is a necessary new thought out there in the world and it is summed up nicely in a book by Bill McKibben called DEEP ECONOMY. It calls into question many of our assumptions about life and the economy. You might also wish to read an older book called CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HITMAN. You may be surprised to learn that you don't know as much about the world, the US and the economy as you thought you did.
October 4, 2007 at 4:00 am | RicHARD Makepeace says
WOW!! MY first time here. I grew up by the projects in New York City though, so name-calling hardly phases me, except when it's my teenager, who IF I recall correctly never has called me a name. He rarely talks to me at all. After you all get to know me, you'll know why. In reality, I am not too traumatized by sticks and stones either: Been there, done that, although my t-shirt was torn.
Don't know much about economics either. Come from union people who say, and believe, that the rich get richer and the working poor pay for it. All I've seen of the world has proven them old geezers correct. Could easily see Milton Friedman working for the Nazis, or the other forces of darkness. Don't understand how millions of middle-class Chinese serfs are any different from other kinds of forced labor. Being one pay-check away from doom, and terrified to lose your spot in the fast-lane of the good life, is just slavery in better Nikes, whether you live in Beijing, Baltimore, Boston, or the Transvaal.
Do know about propaganda, manipulation and persuasion though. Paid a whole lot of money to get a poor education in them things. Klein is right when she points out that only by understanding the problem can we stop being shocked and terrified. Shock and awe, Klein's, or Friedman's, or any other, does keep us name-calling and separated which is the reason that crisis is such a good tool for manipulation, as most of the responses above reflect. The goal is to keep us from thinking, speaking, and cooperating together.
Hence the hoods and cuffs: How many of us reading this, or watching the video, actually see and acknowledge our hoods and cuffs?
I also understand that progressives and leftists everywhere have had a hand in giving us the traumatic sick society that we now own. The question is not how to change the sick society that we have, but how to change ourselves enough that we stop using the tools of our sick society against one another. Krishnamurti said, "It is no sign of good health to be well-adjusted to a sick society."
Do we really want to replicate the society we have all over the globe for another generation, left, or right? Or do we want to change?

"""BTW, I'm not a Marxist. I'm just someone who is sick to death of The Way Things Are, and who is skeptical of the supposed wonderful liberties that capitalism just can't seem to bring except by sticking up small countries at gunpoint and brainwashing the masses into accepting less and less value for ever higher prices."""
You're right, you're not a Marxist. You're a pseudoeconomist. Less value for even higher prices? Couldn't you have at least TRIED to disguise yourself as an economist by saying, "small countries are coerced into buying lower quality goods for inflated prices"? Not to mention that's absolute bullshit because of comparative advantage, a rather complex yet effective game of chess which, when played right, assures an entity's position in the economy even amongst some of the worst cases of absolute advantage. This is of course without restriction… government composed, strictly speaking. Concerning international trade, the easiest example (but certainly not even close to the only) of when comparative advantage falls victim to the government, that would be tariffs.
Klein's biggest problems in her book beyond the absolutely fundamental flaw that we are not in a free market economy are a) she cites corporatism as capitalism while arguing that more government–what spawns corporatism–is the answer?! And b) the fact that the free market is supposed to solve this, whereas we are not in a free market! In other words, when she's not contradicting herself in concern to government power allocations in the economy, her argument is flawed because she attacks the current system, not the free market. It's post hoc ergo propter hoc to assume any of this is the fault of our less restrictive elements in our economy–perhaps it's those restrictions that exist, esp. the ones often accepted or overlooked that artificially reduce labor demand, creating a labor oligopsony for corporations (that means the corporations control YOU!), whilst their competition also ends up becoming oligopolistic due to the lack of competition, thus giving more power to them in the long run? The economics are staggering!
Advice: if you don't know economics, SHUT UP because you don't know anything. Keep your opinions to yourself. And don't take Klein's word on Friedman, it's so skewed it's insane. Read one of Friedman's books. Free to Choose: A Personal Statement is a good book for non-economists and shows a different Milton Friedman than presented by Klein more clearly than anything else could. Capitalism and Freedom is good for people who have a decent bit of economic background or are ambitious (it's not like you need to fucking know abstract algebra or real analysis to get it, but if you're an over analytical kind of person, it could help cure some boredom on plane rides!).
October 29, 2007 at 6:10 pm | Myriam says
Daniel R, i agree with you completely. I'm studying economics at university now, and so i know a bit about friedman, and he was totally misrepresented by Klein. Friedman, like most academic economists, was concerned with how best to manage the economy so as to bring freedom to the masses. And those who see Friedman as being entirely a man of the right would do well to remember how instrumental he was in abolishing the military draft. In all his policies Friedman was concerned with increasing individual freedom.
The problem with Friedman, as his critics would have it, is that he was willing to cooperate with undemocratic and oppressive regimes (this is in fact not true- he was only in Chile for a week and besides giving some general advice was never employed by the regime there). The reason for this is not suprising given those who understand Milton's philosphy- namely that free markets are impossible to maintain in an undemocratic regime, and thus that liberalization of the economy inevitably leads to democratic change. Friedman would thus see China's economic growth as hopeful, as it would according to his theories in the long term lead to an workforce who would demand political change.
The point i'm making is that Friedman gets a undeserved beating in this video. I'm sure if he was alive he would have responded to Klein's accussations, but since he died last year it is now up to economists to explain the theory and the man to propoganda-using populists like Ms Klein.
February 13, 2008 at 4:08 pm | Rachelle says
I agree with you that Friedman's philosphies and theories related to liberating people. These same statements can be made about communism. The fact is that although on paper his theories were correct, when implemented populations reacted badly, this could be because although on paper a slight recession (a fact that Friedman himself admitted would follow the implementation of his policies) may not be a big deal, to the person experiencing the recession this could become a disaster. Friedman should rightly be judged by the social effects of his theories since humans are far more important than numbers – and the fact is that his track record in terms of the human cost of his theories is not good.
The video that Klein and Cuaron made together is arstitic and powerful,this I'm sure is thanks mostly to Cuaron who is renowned for his abilities in this field. The video is also meant to sum up a 600 page book in 5 minutes – it nails the thesis but does not have time to explain and defend it. This is why I urge everyone who has taken the time to see the video, like it or not, to read the book. It is truly "shocking" how much of the book is undeniably truth.
November 5, 2008 at 3:31 pm | dylan says
Rachelle, if you want to look at the results of advocating Friedman's policies, the data bears out that the countries with the most economic freedoms (the very freedoms that Friedman spent his life championing for) also have the lowest unemployment and poverty rates. It isn't enough to reference anecdotes in your argument. If Klein were correct, that liberalization of economies limits democratice freedoms, then why has the number of democratic and 'free' countries actually increased during that same time period?
It is this kind of hatchet job on a now deceased man who has been lauded for a lifetime dedicated to public servie that I absolutely cannot stand.

So, um… Got the skeleton up. Hey, it's Chaos' blog. She's the origin deity in the Greek mythology but she has other roles in others as well. She is an overpowered muse and hopefully I tried to downplay it a bit.
She is currently a self-centered goddess who has a talking sword that gets her into embarrassing situations. She isn't good at modern technology or good at being around anyone, yet she has observed them. She has restarted her universe a couple of times because she wasn't satisfied with the gods whom descended from her, because of that she was punished severely. She is unable to achieve her truest form, the formless matter that we know from myth and legend. The memory of such a spell is locked away.
Unfortunately, this spell is open for anyone to learn it to use her against anyone they wish so long they have read the Scriptures.

In Memory Of ...
Dorothy A. Mortenson
February 06, 1931 - June 10, 2013
Funeral services will be held on Friday, June 14, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. at the Piasecki-Althaus Funeral Home. Interment will follow in Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Union Grove.
A visitation will be held at the funeral home on Thursday, June 13th from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances to Easter Seals Wisconsin, 101 Nob Hill Rd., Suite 301, Madison, WI 53713 or to Hospice Alliance, 10220 Prairie Ridge Blvd., Pleasant Prairie, WI 53158, would be appreciated by the family.
Dorothy A. Mortenson, age 82, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, June 10, 2013.
Born on February 6, 1931 in LaCrosse, WI, she was the daughter of the late Matthew and Marie (Burke) Karis. Raised and educated in LaCrosse, Dorothy was united in marriage to Edward Mortenson on September 6, 1952. Following their marriage, they relocated to St. Paul, MN for a short time before settling in Kenosha in 1962. Sadly, Edward passed away on October 26, 2003. Her family finds peace in knowing that she is reunited with her husband, dancing to their favorite song, "Because of You".
Dorothy was employed with Greene Manufacturing in Racine for 29 years before her retirement. She also volunteered her time at Bain School, helping students learn to read. She enjoyed taking care of her yard, flower gardening, shopping and making crafts. Dorothy had a love of nature, an eye for design and an ear for music. Always active and on the go, she treasured the time she spent with her family.
She will be deeply missed by her two sons, Michael and James Mortenson both of Kenosha; five daughters, Mary (Ray) Castillo of Mt. Pleasant, Karen (Tony) Cline of Kenosha, Sandra (Todd) Herman of Mt. Pleasant, Renae (Jeffrey) Johnson of Racine and Barbara (Gregg) Jaeger of Kenosha; a sister, Marcella Olson of Minnesota. She is further survived by 16 grandchildren, Tony (Carrie), Chris and Jenny Castillo, Michael (Nicole), Adam (Jennifer) Mortenson and Ellyn (Jereme) Arndt, Brian (Rachel), Cori and Garrett Ingram, Brynn, Alexandra, Britton and Addy Herman, Kyle, Casey and Kayla Jaeger; 10 great grandchildren and she was anticipating the arrival of her 11th great grandchild in August.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by three brothers, James, Cletus and Sylvester Karis; two sisters, Helen Tietze and Beverly Tolley and a daughter-in-law, Kathy Mortenson.

ABC News' Luis Martinez reports:
On the eve of the change in mission for U. S. forces in Iraq to a non-combat mission, Defense Secretary Robert Gates' remarks to the American Legion's National Convention grew emotional as he recalled the sacrifice of America's fallen in the seven year conflict.
In his remarks Gates to the Legion's national convention in Milwaukee, he appeared to get choked up when he detailed the numbers of American killed and wounded in Iraq.
He said that as Operation Iraqi Freedom shifts tomorrow to Operation New Dawn "we must never forget that the opportunities in front of all Iraqis – and especially the opportunity for political freedom – have been purchased at a terrible cost: in the losses and trauma endured by the Iraqi people, in the blood, sweat, and tears of American men and women in uniform."
He continued, "at the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom, 4,427 American service members have died in Iraq, 3,502 of them killed in action; 11:09:49 34,268 have been wounded or injured." At that point he began to speak haltingly and gripped the lectern as he said. " The courage of these men and women, their determination, their sacrifice – and that of their families – along with the service and sacrifice of so many others in uniform, have made this day, this transition, possible. " He emphasized "And we must never forget."
Gates said in his speech that the transition to a non-combat mission in Iraq tomorrow " is not a time for premature victory parades or self-congratulation…We still have a job to do and responsibilities there."
Turning to Afghanistan he reaffirmed his recent comments that the US won't be turning off the lights on July, 2011. He admits there " is a good deal of concern and impatience about the pace of progress, " but he notes the 30,000 additional forces sent by President Obama are finally all in place.
Gates says the war in Afghanistan should be considered to have been two different wars, the liberation from the Taliban in 2001-2002 and the regrouping of the Taliban around the same time that the US diverted resources to the war in Iraq. Now all the military resources are in place and as he said repeatedly in his speech, the right strategy is in place.
He sees similarities in Afghanistan right now to the period in Iraq shortly after the surge of 30,000 additional combat troops in 2007. "Intensifying combat and rising casualties is in many ways reminiscent of the early months of the Iraq surge, when our troops were taking the highest losses of the war. Much of the coverage and commentary is similar as well."
Gates said the doubts about the situation in Afghanistan are similar to what was heard in Iraq at the time of the surge. He said there wasn't much confidence that the surge "could take us to where we are today in Iraq – and there were plenty of reasons for doubts." But America's "civilian and military leadership chose the path we believed had the best chance of achieving our national security objectives – as we are doing in Afghanistan today. Success there is not inevitable. But with the right strategy and the willingness to see it through, it is possible. And it is worth the fight."

Wyatt's World
Our typical family Easter Sunday
Is there any more perfect representation of the tribulations of being a parent than sitting in church with three antsy children?
Making matters worse is the chocolate and candy orgy, courtesy of the Easter bunny, that precedes one of the more significant sermons of the year.
To my left sat the supremely unique John, my 14-year-old, who kept bowing incessantly with his arms outstretched. I appreciated the sentiment, but not the execution.
To my immediate right was eight-year-old Ruth writhing and screaming that the PA system was turned up too loud. Sure. Like her iPod is not. Every time the preacher reached a crescendo, she would moan and grimace.
Then to my far right, unfortunately outside of whacking distance, was 12-year-old Lawrence, floppily outstretched with his eyes shut in deep sleep. I could tell the snores would start any second.
I had to motion to my wife to nudge Lawrence awake. She didn't really want the job, which created more tension. When the nudge finally occurred, Lawrence shot me an affronted look and mouthed the word, "What?" This went on for several iterations until I finally determined I was the one creating most of the commotion.
All the while, pastor Steve was imparting to the congregation the joy of the resurrection and what it means to each person personally. I'm a true believer and I thank God for that, but that still left the difficult problem of parenthood here on earth. Do kids behave in heaven, I began to wonder.
Being somehow on the front row didn't help matters. It has always bugged me that people in church always sit in the back. So I always make a point to sit up front. After all, if you're gonna come, you might as well have a good seat.
Suddenly I had a new appreciation for sitting in the back. Aha! That's why people sit in the back. It's sort of like parental post traumatic disorder from experiences such as I was presently undergoing.
I realized my options were limited. I could drag them all out and spank them on the church steps, but that would pretty much ruin the Easter Sunday service of the Covenant Presbyterian Church. I vaguely recall doing that once, but I confess it may just be an old fantasy bouncing around in the recesses of my mind. Besides, spanking is not in style these days.
My solution came after the service -- skip a nice Sunday dinner and go straight to household chores. The garage needed cleaning and the porch needed sweeping and I had the labor to do it.
The children thought I had lost my mind. They sort of understand the nature of chores, but I was taking it to a whole new level.
John quickly objected to working on the Sabbath, especially Easter Sunday. He promptly turned to the Old Testament passage in which Moses is instructed to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath. "Now I will have to kill you," he informed me. John definitely needs to keep working on his social skills.
Of course, this is the same John who recently determined the Sabbath was actually on a Saturday. This worked well for him because he could not work on Saturday or Sunday, depending on how he applied his Biblical interpretation.
I patiently explained - with questionable Biblical scholarship - that we go to the covenant church and that when Jesus came a lot of the old laws got changed and we had a new covenant. Besides, kids doing chores is not really work, as in you haven't been laboring in the fields for the last six days.
"But we have been laboring in school all week," Lawrence chimed in. "Yea," Ruth said. "School is hard work."
Okay. Now it is Easter Sunday and I am starting to lose it. "Holy Spirit, fill my body with patience and love and joy. I can't do it, but I know you can." This is a prayer that I pray a lot as a parent.
As usual, just as I am about to commit infanticide, the Holy Spirit filled my body with - well, I'm not sure love and joy, but at least sufficient restraint to keep me out of prison.
I prevailed in the end. It wasn't pretty. I got a blister demonstrating the proper sweeping techniques, but the chores got done, the driveway was swept and I'm hoping they made some connection to their behavior in church.
Then came the call to my mother who was visiting her sister-in-law in San Antonio. During the conversation, I said, "The kids were so bad in church I made them come home and work."
John overheard and sprang into action. "Work. You called it work. You are a sinner!"
This is the same John who at age six kept saying "blah blah blah" instead of repeating the children's prayer during the "children's moment‰ in church. To my dismay, the preacher kept going. The more emphasis the preacher placed on the words to repeat, the more emphasis John gave to his "blah blah blahs." I tried to slide under the pew while half the congregation nearly ruptured sensitive internal organs trying not to laugh.
Then magically the day ended beautifully, as we visited my cousin's houseboat on the Rez. Despite the tangled lines and stinky bait, each child caught one small fish. Oh the smiles and joy. "I'm so proud of myself, Daddy," Ruth told me. I had somehow failed to realize she had never caught a fish.
We ate on the deck of the boat with a perfect sunset breeze. Everyone behaved. Nobody complained about the food. Smiles and joy abounded. Ah, April in Mississippi. My Easter Sunday was resurrected. It was all the joy and beauty I ever needed.

How To Select The Appropriate Breast Implant
If you would like to adjust the shape and contour of specified areas of your entire body, you might be looking into liposuction. How do you know if this is the right selection for you? This is the sort of issue that you are going to want to talk about with your cosmetic surgical procedure. Just like each particular person is distinct, each procedure if distinct to cater in the direction of what they are looking for.
Liposuction as the title suggests is a surgical procedure carried out to decrease fat and lipid from the entire body. The lipid is removed from distinct components in the entire body like the abdomen, the hips or the buttocks. It offers the entire body better shape and figure. The surgical procedure is categorized as a clutu.com/ which is a sort of plastic surgical procedure. There are different variables that are kept in mind throughout the procedure and the volume of fat that can be removed in one session is also regulated. Medical news updates have the newest norms in the area for such medical advancements.
Liposuction is undoubtedly not the best alternative too get into shape. It can undoubtedly not exchange the significance of a healthier diet and exercising. Fundamentally, the procedure is performed when too several fat cells have accumulated and improved in volume, in the entire body. So, by this technique a certain spot can be targeted. The evident downside right here is that one has the tendency to put on bodyweight in the regions which have not been taken care of. This is not a long lasting resolution to bodyweight reduction. If the skin is less elastic, it might get started to droop or slag as well.
Laser remedies: these are by far turning into some of the most popular. The process, which is FDA authorized, actually utilizes a tiny laser to ruin the hair follicles. It requires seconds to do. But, several people can not have this procedure as you will need to have the right colored skin/hair for it. The procedure is pricey, up to $3,000 per procedure in which you might need to have more than one remedy. Knowledge is valuable in getting a excellent experience the 1st time.
Chemical peel utilizes mild acids like glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid. It is applied on the skin, which allows the skin to peel inside of a number of days. The side effect of this is comparable to a quite mild sunburn response. Right after the skin peeling, a more youthful and supple looking skin is exposed. This need to be carried out routinely to accomplish its optimum effect.
As the tube breaks up the fat deposits beneath the skin, the aspirator will get rid of it from the entire body. The liposuction remedy is quite typically linked with a tummy tuck as well. The medical doctor will get rid of skin from the abdomen and use the remaining skin to stretch and tighten the spot. The medical doctor will do a liposuction remedy to get rid of any extra fat in the spot and might also make a decision to tighten the abdominal muscle groups. This offers added definition to the spot.
There are so several items out there which includes stretch mark removal creams, skin lightening cream, teeth bleaching and on and on. It exhibits what a woman and some males will go via to seem young. Youth is how you truly feel about your self and getting young is in your heart.

Willow Living Snow Fences
Blowing and drifting snow can increase the cost of highway maintenance and create hazardous driving conditions. These problems occur when snow is lifted off the ground by wind and transported across an open area towards a road. Local and state agencies in the United States spend over $2 billion annually on snow and ice control, and over $300 million annually in New York State alone. Living snow fences can mitigate blowing snow problems, reduce the cost of highway maintenance and improve highway safety. Living snow fences are rows of trees or shrubs that perform the same function as wooden or plastic snow fences by disrupting wind patterns, creating turbulence around the fence and causing snow to be deposited in designated areas.
Shrub willow is an ideal plant choice for living snow fences because of its rapid height growth, high branch density, and relatively low cost of installation compared to other vegetation types. Numerous living snow fences of various species have been installed over the past decade and longer by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). The Willow Biomass Program at SUNY ESF has recently collaborated with NYSDOT to install new willow snow fences and conduct research on mature fences in the landscape.

FroFrost flowers, in German "Eisblumen", inspired me to this design. Lines of cables make their way from the cuff to the hand, resulting in a well fitting cuff keeping the cold outside. They are framed by beads which will vanish as well as the cables once you reach the upper part of the hand. The fingers will knit up in a breeze as they are in plain stockinette.
The pattern features a detailed tutorial on how to knit with beads!
These gloves are knit using the "magic loop" method, however you can use double pointed needles or two circular needles if you prefer.
This is a chart based pattern!
Size // Hand circumference
S // 18 cm (7")
M // 19 cm (7.5")

Will Allen's Food Manifesto
This is half a year out of date in terms of the legislative specifics he mentions, but the ideas laid out here by Will Allen (MacArthur Genius, urban farming icon) remain extremely important, especially now that health care has (tenuously) been put into law. In a nutshell, our food system is fucked, and most of us know this, but the issues of economic and racial injustice associated with it, as well as the more commonly recognized problems with environmental degradation, animal cruelty, and plain bad business management, are touched on here. This takes 5 minutes to read, and will point you in the right direction. (for further reading: Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food"). Well worth your time. ¡Buen provecho!
