This Movie Info
Release Date :August 07, 2013
Studio :Warner Bros. Pictures
Director :Rawson Marshall Thurber
Starring :Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Will Poulter
David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids-after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).
In order to wipe the slate clean-and maintain a clean bill of health-David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad's latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the "Millers" are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

The Supreme Court today struck down a Massachusetts law that established buffer zones around clinics that provide abortions. In 1994, FRONTLINE examined a tragedy that helped lead to that law, at the intersection of free speech and abortion, in "Murder on Abortion Row."

Overview:Memory is one of the most critical components in your server and one of the easiest to upgrade to quickly enhance and improve overall system performance. The dependence on industry standard servers to run memory-intensive applications is pushing the memory capacity of servers to new levels. For server applications memory modules and other server components must withstand almost non-stop exposure to elements such as heat and electricity. The slightest defect can become a problem resulting in server crashes and data loss for multiple users. As server memory capacities increase so does the likelihood of memory errors that can corrupt data and cause servers to crash. You cannot afford to compromise your system integrity with generic low cost memory. Trust our Genuine HP/Compaq designed and manufactured memory products to sustain your servers uptime and prevent data loss.

Sauber's Sergio Perez has ended Red Bull's two-day reign at the top of the timesheets after setting Thursday's quickest time in testing at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya. Perez posted a best lap of 1m 21.761s as this week's final pre-season session continued at the Spanish track.
With McLaren and HRT not in action, ten of Formula One racing's 12 teams were out on track. Perez's fastest time was over three-tenths of a second quicker than the best from Ferrari's Felipe Massa in second. The Mexican carried out set-up work in the morning, followed by a qualifying simulation before lunch and almost a complete race simulation in the afternoon. He covered 95 laps.
"We have had an interesting day as we carried out qualifying practice and race simulation," explained Sauber technical director James Key. "In the morning we started off with some general set up work, and then went into a qualifying practice, which was the first time we had run the car on low fuel. This was also the first time for Sergio to go through all those procedures from Q1 to Q3.
"He did a good and controlled set of laps, setting a time of 1:22.042 minutes on soft tyres and 1:21.761 on the super soft compound. In the afternoon we started a race simulation, but unfortunately this was stopped early due to a KERS problem, which meant we could not complete the laps we wanted."
Massa, on his final day of testing before the Australian Grand Prix, completed 132 laps in the 150° Italia. He carried out a comparison of aero elements before completing a race simulation. Fernando Alonso will be on track for the Italian team on Friday.
Red Bull's Mark Webber took third slot, ahead of Williams' Rubens Barrichello and Mercedes GP's Michael Schumacher. Schumacher was in the heavily-upgraded MGP-W02 for the first time and completed 89 laps.
"We've had a very productive day and completed a reasonable amount of mileage," the German said. "We were able to check and confirm a lot of things on the set-up of the car with the new upgrade package, and my initial impressions are certainly positive. We've worked hard on reliability at the previous tests and our priority now is to develop and fine-tune the car which we have done quite successfully today."
Renault fielded both their race drivers over the course of the day, with Nick Heidfeld finishing sixth and team mate Vitaly Petrov eighth.
Lotus also split the day's duties between their two drivers. Heikki Kovalainen ended a spirited seventh to separate the Renault duo, whilst Jarno Trulli was in the final slot in 12th after technical issues prevented him from carrying out any meaningful running.
"A difficult morning for Jarno with the gearbox change," said Lotus chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne. "We had put a new 'box on overnight but saw a problem with it this morning so had to change it during the session. Unfortunately, a water leak then meant that Jarno was not able to complete any real running, but this afternoon we made some real progress with Heikki. He was able to work through a program on the tyre options and the blown diffuser so after a tricky morning it was a very positive end to the day."
Adrian Sutil was back at the wheel for Force India and finished ninth, ahead of Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari and Virgin's Jerome D'Ambrosio in 10th and 11th respectively. Alguersuari completed 107 laps as he carried out aero component comparisons, a half-race simulation and pit-stop practice.
"The warmer track temperature was definitely useful for the teams and for Pirelli, in terms of preparing for Melbourne," said Toro Ross chief engineer, Laurent Mekies. "Also bearing in mind that the season gets underway soon, we have carried out a lot of pit stop practice runs, as clearly this will be a key element during races this season. In fact, over the past two days, we have completed a total of sixty pit stops."
Testing continues in Barcelona on Friday. McLaren will rejoin the action, whilst HRT are expected to give their new car - the F111 - its debut outing.

Iran, Egypt, and Turkey have agreed to form the core of a new industry association, the International Petrochemical Association, an OPEC-like body that will enable cooperation among stakeholders in the Developing 8 (D-8) countries, according to various Iranian news reports. The reports follow a two-day meeting held at Tehran last week to discuss collaboration in the petrochemical sector among D-8 countries, the reports say. The D-8 countries are a group of developing countries with large Muslim populations that have formed an economic development alliance...

A bunch of future contracts have been given out, and the salary cap page says Miami is now 16 million over.
Only the 53 man roster counts against the cap. The players who get future contracts are not listed against the cap, unless they make the roster after camp/pre-season.
Is that true, then why is it listed Miami is 16 million over?
can anyone clarify whats going on?

In my mother language, Hebrew, there is a greeting especially for cases when someone gets or buys something new: תתחדש. Is there something similar in German? If not, what will you say to someone who, for example, just got a haircut or bought a new car?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
German Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for speakers of German wanting to discuss the finer points of the language and translation. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The usual case in German would be to just say something positive about the new acquaintance like e.g.
Or we put it in a question:
There is not a common expression for this. But we do sometimes hear a proverb in that context:
This is a quote from a traditional song by Adam v. Kamp (1818) but it is a bit outdated and not so widely used.
You probably recognize the new purchase/acquisition with a cheerful question like:
"Neues Auto?", "Neue Frisur?", "Neuer Laptop?", "Neue Frau?"

Welcome to the official website for NHS Nene Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS Nene CCG).
We are responsible for the majority of the local healthcare budget for most of Northamptonshire.
For more information about Nene CCG, go to the About Nene CCG page. If you are interested in shaping your local health services, go to the Get involved pages.
We have published our 2014-15 Annual Report & Accounts.
We believe everyone should get the right treatment, in the right place, at the right time, which will help them have longer, healthier lives. However, to achieve these aims is more difficult today than it has ever been. Year on year, demand for care is increasing as a result of our growing and ageing population. All this whilst NHS funding is only increasing marginally.
In Northamptonshire, we are working with several partner organisations to help engineer a quality, future proofed health and social care system that delivers health and social care at a time we may need it.
This programme will need the help of patients, public, doctors and specialists and will require a lot of discussion and thought to help us meet the challenge. Find out about the latest updates and have your say.

The Polar Express
Drama, Animation, Family
A young boy lies awake in his room one snowy Christmas Eve, excited and alert. Breathing silently. Hardly moving. Waiting. He's listening for a sound he's afraid that he might never hear--the ringing bells of Santa's sleigh. The time is five minutes to midnight. Suddenly, a thunderous roar startles the boy. Clearing the mist from his window he sees the most amazing sight--a gleaming black train rumbles to a stop right in front of his house, the steam from its powerful engine hissing through the night sky and the softly falling snowflakes. The boy rushes outside, clad only in his pajamas and slippers, and is met by the train's conductor who seems to be waiting just for him. "Well, are you coming?" the conductor inquires. "Where?" the boy asks. "Why, to the North Pole--of course. This is the Polar Express!" What unfolds is an adventure that follows a doubting young boy, who takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole; during this ride, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.

En español | The blinding headache came first. Seventy-two hours later, unable to bear the pain, Sharon Stone was rushed to a San Francisco ER. For the next nine days, she drifted in and out of a coma before doctors discovered that her vertebral artery, which runs through the neck into the base of the skull, had ruptured. "By then I had bled into my spinal column, my brain, and my facial cavity at a steady pace," she says, remembering those frightening days in the fall of 2001. "My brain was pushed forward into my face. I'd lost 18 percent of my body mass." Stone underwent a seven-hour procedure as surgeons stabilized the torn artery with 22 platinum coils and stopped the bleeding. "They saved my life," she says.

For a woman blessed with such extraordinary beauty and talent — she received an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe award for her performance in Casino in 1995 — Sharon Stone has endured almost unfathomable losses, which she discussed candidly for the first time with AARP The Magazine. Over the past dozen years she has suffered two miscarriages; undergone a bitter divorce from her second husband, San Francisco newspaper editor Phil Bronstein; lost a custody battle with Bronstein over their adopted son, Roan, now 11; witnessed her beloved father, Joseph Stone, succumb to esophageal cancer; and endured critical and commercial flops that slowed her once-soaring film career.
Now a single parent to two more sons she adopted in infancy — Laird, 6, and Quinn, 5 — Stone says the hardships have strengthened her. "My friend says this prayer: 'Thank you, God, for everything you gave me, and thank you more for everything you took.' I believe that." Today, at 53, she's a woman transformed. "People call and want me to play parts that I used to play. I'm like, 'You have no idea what I have been through!' "
Yet this independent, uncommonly smart woman remains very much a country girl, a sturdy Pennsylvanian taught by working-class parents to believe in herself and to give back to others. Those blue-collar roots are the source of her resilience. "I thought I'd never be okay again," says Stone, who will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award in February at AARP The Magazine's Movies for Grownups® Awards gala. "But you can get okay — though you have to have fortitude."
In tiny Meadville, Pennsylvania, kids drove tractors to school, and families drained freshly hunted deer carcasses by hanging them from swing sets. Stone was the second oldest of four children, and her father, who worked double and triple shifts in the local tool-and-die factory, was an unlikely feminist. "My dad was outspoken before Gloria Steinem," Stone says. "He would pull me off the playground, saying, 'You're letting those boys beat you. You could be winning that game. Why aren't you?' " When he and Stone's mother, Dorothy, a secretary, saved enough money to start their own small tool-and-die business, Joseph hired a woman die sinker as his sole employee.
Because Stone was, she says, "a peculiar child," her parents had her IQ tested at age 5 and learned she was gifted. She was immediately promoted to second grade, but school administrators decided she wasn't fitting in and moved her back to first. "They put me and my stuff in my desk and pushed me down the hallway," she says. "I can still hear the sound of that desk scraping against the floor." At age 15, while still in high school, she started courses at nearby Edinboro University, where she studied creative writing on a scholarship. (She left just short of graduating to become a Ford model in New York City, but in 2007 was awarded an honorary doctorate of philosophy in public service.) "She's got about a 190 million IQ," says good friend James Woods, who appeared with her in Casino. "You spend the afternoon with her and you'd think you're at Yale. She is interested in the world. There's no conversation you can't have with her."

This shoe is amazing! Looks great with a casual outfit and rolled up jeans or for when I'm going for a jog. They are super comfy and they came with additional red laces so I could change the laces from black to red! Overall, great purchase, however it was a little big, I'm a size 8 in all my sneakers but when they got delivered and I tried them they were a bit big but nothing that a few tighter laces can't fix, but I do recommend go half a size down. ... read more
I wear 7 1/2, but this shoe in a 7 1/2 fit like I was wearing an 8 or 8 1/2! I am returning the shoes of course, but hope there are a pair left to fit so I can reorder. The shoe also seemed a little wide, but I'm not sure if that's because they were so large in size or not. Seemed to be a very comfortable shoe though, and very lightweight. ... read more
I have two pairs of Fluxes. They are amazing shoes. Not only do they fit perfectly and feel wonderful, but they are also one of the cleanest shoes available. They are stylish enough, and versatile enough, to wear in any situation and I always receive compliments. Buy these shoes, you will definitely not regret it. ... read more
Since they first came out in the 70s, I've owned about 12 dozen pairs of Rod Laver tennis shoes. I was excited to see them come back recently, but I'm not happy with the new model so far (rec'd a couple days ago). There's a flaw in the white stitching above the toe that I'll probably notice every time I put them on, and the shoes weigh considerably more than the old ones (I checked because I still have the old ones). I would return the new ones, but I destroyed the shipping box and I don't want to bother w/ repackaging them. If I bought them locally, I'd return them, but so be it. C'est la guerre living life online. ... read more
I bought these shoes as a general purpose trainer for informal occasions. The look and feel is spot on for this. When I first put them on I thought that the arch support on the left shoe was a bit prominent. I then went on as walk around a park and after about 5 or 6k they are now really comfortable. So if you feel the same then try a long-ish walk in them and then see how they are you probably won't be disappointed. Ps I am not saying they are suitable for going up a mountain in. But walking round a park with mainly tarmaced paths they are fine!! ... read more
These are my favorite shoes of all-time and I'm so glad they're back! It's been really difficult to find them in my size over the past couple of years (though I've managed to get lucky with random websites a couple of times). They're durable, comfortable, and versatile, and I think they look good too. My one recommendation would be to offer these in more colors! Ideally navy and dark gray, in addition to black and light gray. I'd really like a navy pair and hope to see them on here soon! ... read more
So i went to Adidas Originals yesterday with my friend and decided to purchase the black zx flux in a size 6. I normally go half a size up due to comfort. However there being none, i tried the size 7. Slides of my foot. Stuck with size 6 but overall it is very stylish, comfortable and a shoe that can be worn with anything. Adidas, please make half sizes, this is the only reason why i wrote 4/5, because it does feel tight, but something i can bear for a little while. I hope they stretch just like a guy said. I know these are unisex, but people like me with feet that have half sizes will suffer, plus if this was to happen i would buy all of them!!! ... read more
Get a half size smaller. I'm a 6, tried this in the black and white versions. Both were definitely about an inch too long of empty space lengthwise for toes. I tried the 5.5 and it was perfect. I'm not crazy about the gloss pieces on the white version, it's okay on the black. Love the big logo on the tongue. This is a cool hi-top, exactly what I was looking (just really wish they didn't use the gloss.) My right foot is a hair bigger than my left foot and often I've felt shoes were tight on me or just right. This one, definitely go HALF a size down. You can see they look too big if you get your normal size. The width is perfect. I once tried a Stella McCartney slipper, size 6 and that was literally one size too big. Love these, you should try them on first if you're at a store. ... read more
I love the style and the way in which the shoes stand out in a crowd. They are very comfortable and the images on the website come true to the eye when received in real life. I would recommend this product to anyone as the they are true to size and offer great freshness in the feet. However, the only down side of these shoes is the when they get wet but they do try quickly. ... read more
I actually bought these shoes for work..I walk around all day and wanted something comfortable and that looked good. Keep in mind I'm a big dude and won't be running in these shoes. But they are very comfortable, I'm always worried that any shoe will end up feeling to narrow after wearing them for 8 hours,but these didnt! I was actually talking to a friend about them saying I might just buy another pair to wear outside of work. Also, you can feel all the support in these shoes. Very happy ... read more
Now a happy owner of ZX Flux shoes, light and comfy. You'll need to figure the sizing however as I'm wearing a size greater than normal. Fit is excellent, and, as usual very supporting whether walking the high street or running a few kilometres. Breathable upper fabric maintains a good temp and allows moisture to escape easily. Another set of contrasting laces was a nice unexpected touch. Price is a expected for this section the market. ... read more
I usually wear 11s and ordered these in that size. There's some room in the toe buy they still fit well. Other than that, the shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Very good looking too. ... read more
I love these trainers. Great fit and very comfortable. I have been looking for something like this for ages. I'm not a fan of the wedge inside and the good thing about these trainers is that you can lift it out to have flat trainers ... read more
I've barely removed then from my feet since purchase. I can't describe quite how comfortable they are. You find yourself in one of two scenarios: You either feel as if you aren't wearing shoes, or you feel as if your feet are being cuddled by clouds. I didn't realise that it was possible to wear a shoe that makes your foot feel liter than it did before. If I was to have one negative it is that the material would be easily scuffed if the shoes were abused at all. I don't think this would ever be a problem if looked after however. ... read more
Campus has to be my favorite adidas shoes and as a lot of people may found out, they're pretty difficult to find, I heard they're deadstock, it's a shame...until now, it's so great that adidas decided to re-release them again. Navy blue color is almost impossible to find now, I really really hope adidas consider to release them. For the last couple of years I was able to find the black, gray and blue ones in my size. ... read more

Lewis Hamilton has vowed to do all he can to catch Red Bull in Texas but admits the reigning Champs are far ahead of Mercedes...
Lewis Hamilton has vowed to do all he can to catch Red Bull in Texas but admits the reigning Champs are far ahead of Mercedes.
Friday's second practice at the Austin circuit concluded with aed Bull 1-2 as Sebastian Vettel edged Mark Webber with the Merc duo next in line.
Nico Rosberg finished third, 0.480s off the pace, while Hamilton was a further 0.173s adrift.
The Brit was not entirely happy with the set-up of his W04, confirming that it is something he has struggled with throughout the campaign.
"I don't think I've nailed the set-up all year," he told Sky Sports F1.
"It's not nailed this weekend and I don't think it will be nailed for the rest of the season!
"But we are constantly trying to improve and we got a long run in on the option tyre, which is a good thing."
However, Hamilton admits that taking the fight to the Red Bulls this weekend won't be an easy taskl.
"The weather is good, the track is getting faster, and the Red Bulls are a long way down the road but we'll still try to give them hell and catch them."

Farming 4 Hunger, a nonprofit organization located in Prince Frederick that harvests and delivers local produce for distribution to Southern Maryland families in need, has been awarded a $22,000 grant from the Dominion Foundation.
In 2012, Farming 4 Hunger raised more than 400,000 pounds of produce for area food pantries. This year, it raised nearly 1.7 million pounds of produce, such as beans, potatoes, squash, zucchini and kale, a press release states. The produce is harvested, boxed and packaged by area volunteers, church groups, detention center work-releases inmates, school groups and individuals who want to give back to the community.
Farming 4 Hunger has teamed with the Capital Area Food Bank and Maryland Food Bank to serve families in need in the region.
"We were in desperate need this summer for a bean harvester and through the grant from Dominion we were able to purchase one just in time for the 22 acres of beans we have," said Bernie Fowler Jr., founder and CEO of Farming 4 Hunger, in the release. "To date, Dominion is the most recognizable company that believes in what we are doing and by stepping up I am hoping it will make other companies take notice and have them consider supporting our cause."
Dominion volunteers also spent a day cleaning debris at Serenity Farm in Benedict recently, and taking off the old roof that was destroyed by weather on one of the two, 10,000-square-foot greenhouses, the release states. The refurbished greenhouse will be used to grow hydroponic plants, such as tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, and serve as an education center to children in the area.
"This facility will be an excellent way to teach area children from kindergarten through high school not only about agriculture, sustainability and nutrition, but also what it is like to give to others in need," Fowler said in the release.
For more information about Farming 4 Hunger, contact Fowler at 443-532-4000 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources, is dedicated to protecting the environment, promoting education and helping meet basic human needs of the communities served by Dominion companies, according to the release. Since 2002, the Dominion Foundation has provided nearly $2.3 million in grants within the state of Maryland, including more than $500,000 to Calvert County nonprofits.

All machine settings are different. Like it was stated, raise amps. Just because it says 120 it maybe only 110. 10 amps will make a difference.

stick keeps sticking!
Long arc bad.... Keep you arc nice and tight, you have much better control of the weld pool. It sounds to me that you can't see. Change your body position and make sure not to reach. Got to be comfortable with a good field of vision, if not, overhead will be a constant struggle. Practice, practice, practice.........
The advice abut using your free hand to hold the rod to help get started should do the trick.
A lot of welders do that. I never did in the early days but I'll do it now in a second.
I also never used a remote control but how sweet that must be to be able to start hot then fine tune as you go.

I can see and by long arcing I mean striking the arc on the vice and carrying it to the work piece.. But I've been using my left hand now to hold the rod like you guys said and it works great..
You should dip the rod in rod oil, that'll help. Old timers trick! !!Dynasty 200DX "Blue Lightning"

Run it at 125 or a bit higher and keep you arc length around an 1/8 inch. Its sticking because you are running it too cold.

Comments On Jun 15, 2015:I ordered this because I worried about the seal on my K&N air filter, now I sleep better at night. Expected it to be thicker, I installed it and the filter sealed as I had wanted. I'm using it in conjunction with the PC Racing filter skins, very happy with the results.

Comments On Mar 26, 2015:I installed this on my bike because I was tired of greasing the rim of my air filter, and the mess and cleaning that came with that. This product sounded great. No more grease. One day I went to change my air filter, and found that the filter had gotten pinched on the rim during installation. You could see a trail of dirt entering the airbox past the filter. Ouch! I'm not sure what/if there was any engine damage, but it doesn't bode well.
To be fair, I still use it, and haven't had this problem repeat. I'm not sure if the pinch was my fault (poor filter installation?) or the result of using this product? You will have to decide for yourself if it is worth the risk.

Comments On Jan 02, 2015:Fit well and stuck to airbox very well. Like everyone says just clean it good before you stick it. one less mess!

Comments On Dec 07, 2014:This seal eliminates the need to use grease to seal your air filter to the air box. Makes air filter changes much easier and less messy. I use it in all my bikes. I have had no issues with dirt or sand getting past the seal and into the air box. Make sure to remove all old oil and grease with contact cleaner prior to installing in your air box.

Comments On Sep 14, 2014:Why would anyone mess with filter grease when these are available? Works perfectly. If it dosent stick you didn't clean the mating surface properly. They even give you a little extra piece of the material to test the adhesion. Cant go wrong with this. .

Comments On May 06, 2014:I now have 3 of these. 07 KX450F, 08 YZ450F and 07 YZ125. Installation is super easy - make sure to clean plastic surface well with contact cleaner. Have not had a single issue with leakage of dust in 4 years.

Comments On Apr 09, 2014:the best invention ever...why would you ever use grease again, unless you ride sand dunes, but for normal use, this thing is great.have them on all my bikes. just be sure the surface is clean before you mount it

Comments On Mar 30, 2014:first one of these. Installed and adhered very well after some thorough clean up with petrol/rags then alcohol swabs. I hope it's all it's cracke up to be - I won't miss greasing filter bases.

Comments On Dec 04, 2013:Works as stated and fits well. Keep the air filter maintenance easy and fast with this seal.

Waste Reduction Strategies For Businesses
Use building materials made with recycled content.
Recycle construction and demolition waste (eg., wood, metals, concrete, etc.)
For further descriptions of ways to reduce construction and demolition waste, read the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's brochure "Building Savings - Strategies for Waste Reduction of Construction and Demolition Debris from Buildings", (pdf). It includes information on the measures taken during the demolition and construction activities related to the development of Courthouse Square here in Salem.
Double-side copies - Establish a policy to encourage double-sided. Post a sign by the photocopier to remind staff. Some copiers can be programmed to default to double-siding.
Specify double-sided copying for all jobs sent print shops.
Re-use single-sided paper for drafts, scratch paper or packaging materials.
When preparing reports, think about how they will be recycled later and design for recyclability. Phase out the use of colored divider sheets, and non-recyclable covers and binding material. If possible, staple reports together or use a three hole punch and encourage the use of reusable three ring binders.
Use only the amount of paper you need. Post a sign at the photocopier (e.g., Think Before You Copy or Do You Need This Copy?).
Recharge ink cartridges.
Create a central filing system instead of maintaining duplicate personal files.
Review forms for length, number of copies, and necessity. Can it be re-designed or combined?
Store documents on disk or microfiche.
Keep customer mailing lists current.
Use Send and Return envelopes for your billings.
Regularly review subscriptions and circulation lists and ensure that they are accurate and still appropriate.
Re-use manila envelopes and shipping boxes.
Reduce the amount of junk mail you receive by writing to:
Direct Marketing AssociationMail Preference ServiceP. O. Box 643Carmel, NY 10512Phone: (212) 790-1400
and asking that your name(s) be eliminated from mailing lists. Be sure to include the following information: Your full name and any variations that may be used by direct marketers; the date; your mailing address; your signature; the following statement: "Please remove my name and address from your mailing list." or for their web site: http://www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offmailinglist#moreinformation
Use voice mail, e-mail, route one copy, or post the memo on a central board.
Store documents on disk or microfiche to minimize the number of hard copies made. If your company has a network, use a common directory to transfer documents.
Proof documents on the computer screen before printing.
Some printers feed an extra sheet of paper with every document. Check with the manufacturer about reprogramming the printer.
Recharge printer cartridges.
Design FAX cover sheets to be as small as possible, but still have adequate space for messages so that you do not have to attach a separate letter or note.
Use a stamp to convey transmittal information when a message is not necessary.
Recharge fax cartridges.
Buy FAX machines that use bond paper.
Traditionally, office equipment purchase decisions have been based primarily on considerations of capital cost and performance. Environmental benefits or costs have not been explicitly considered. Look at all the costs and benefits of proposed alternatives, not just the capital cost. Buy equipment which is repairable.
Repair rather than replace equipment. For infrequently used equipment, rent rather than buy.
Sharing equipment with the adjacent office is another option.
Use remanufactured or used office equipment.
Donate surplus produce and past-pull-date perishables to food banks.
Advertise surplus and reusable waste items through a commercial waste exchange, such as IMEX (Industrial Materials Exchange). For additional resources contact Alan Pennington, Marion County Department of Public Works - Environmental Services at 365-3188.
Reuse materials within the business. Have a clean out your desk/supply cabinet day with a give-and-take area set up for extra, unwanted items.
Negotiate with suppliers to provide goods in reusable, returnable, or recyclable packaging.
Some local area suppliers and distributors are back-hauling boxes, containers and pallets for re-use. Request returnable containers for deliveries.
Order materials in bulk. This helps to avoid over-packaging, such as note pads in cellophane wrapped packages, boxes inside boxes, foam packaging peanuts, etc.
Order materials as precisely as possible. Regular, automatic ordering often results in unnecessary waste.
If you find yourself with foam packaging peanuts that you cannot reuse, take them to a mailing service for reuse. For a mailing service near you, contact Marion County at 588-5169.
Check the package size and amount of packing materials which your product is shipped in.
Can the box be re-sized and packing be reduced without sacrificing the integrity of the product?
Choose a landscape design that needs low maintenance and little water.
Grasscycling - use a mulching mower which leaves grass clippings to naturally decompose.
Grass clippings no longer need to be bagged and hauled away.
Compost grass clippings and leaves into a valuable soil amendment, or make sure your landscape contractor composts.
Use a worm bin to convert non-fatty lunch room food wastes into high quality potting soil (vermicompost).
Do not buy foil laminated, waxed or plastic-coated paper products. They are not recyclable.
Eliminate use of plastic trash liners in cans where no wet trash is disposed.
Encourage employees to use permanent coffee mugs instead of disposable cups.
Invest in a set of mugs and glasses for visitors.
Instead of paper, use cloth towels, tablecloths, and napkins.
Have an office copy of daily newspaper supplied for all employees to share in common areas. Purchase only one subscription to a magazine and circulate it among employees. Give old magazines to hospitals, clinics, or nursing homes.
Give old trade magazines and journals to libraries.
For more information, visit the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's Commercial Waste Reduction Clearinghouse.

CITY:Arlington Heights
Oklahoma! A Paramount Theatrical Production
This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It's also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all is the rugged cowboy Curly who's fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma!
A Christmas Story: A Paramount Theatrical Production
One of the most watched and beloved Holiday movies ever made comes to life in a full-blown musical production on the Paramount stage.

With Christmas right around the corner, Ralphie has his bespectacled sights set on one thing – a Red Ryder BB Gun. But at every turn, the young daydreamer hears those five words that are the bane of his existence: "you'll shoot your eye out."
West Side Story: A Paramount Theatrical Production
It's quite possibly one of the greatest love stories ever to be told in a musical. Set in the blue-collar neighborhood of New York's Upper West Side, racial tensions run high as residents try to grind out a daily living. A turf war is being fought as the Jets, a white gang, and the Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang, battle over boundaries. In the heart of the turmoil, former Jets member Tony meets Maria at a local dance. The chemistry is instantaneous, and for a few hours, there is no race, no hatred, no barriers, just two young people in love. But Maria is the sister of Sharks' leader Bernardo, and no one is going to make it easy for Tony and Maria to escape.

On Stalin's (Torturous) "Alternative Set of Procedures"
Brian Tamanaha
Robert Conquest, a leading historian on the Soviet Union, a vociferous anti-communist, and a favorite of conservatives, wrote the following in his recent book, The Dragons of Expectation (labeled "a frontal assault on the pieties of the left"):
Is this for real?
Are we going to apply The Stalin Test to all policies to determine their validity? (I heard that Stalin was a real stickler on prohibiting prayer in public schools. He had a thing for progressive taxation, too.)
When did legal analysis grow so coarse, so hamfisted?
Even taking The Stalin Test seriously would show how silly this mode of analysis is. Again, here's Professor Tamanaha's test:
Here's a simple way to determine whether any of the "alternative set of procedures" constitute "torture:" check if any of the techniques on the list--whether physical or mental--were also utlized under Stalinism.
If Stalin's regime utilized the questioning of prisoners without an attorney present, would that be illegitimate conduct in the global war on terror?
If Stalin's regime blindfolded prisoners, would that be illegitimate conduct?
If Stalin's regime held prisoners until the end of hostilities during times of war, would that be illegitimate conduct?
Quite simply, The Stalin Test fails because Stalin, as evil as he was, surely relied not only on reprehensible tactics, but also on completely legitimate ones. Asking "What Wouldn't Stalin Do" simply doesn't answer the question.
Then again, the New York Times praised Stalin more than they did Bush. Does that tell us anything about the legitimacy of the NYT?
Again, I can only shake my head and ask, when did legal analysis get so coarse, so hamfisted?
Note that Adam has to twist the post's words to make his rather juvenile point.
The post didn't say "all Stalin's policies." It confined itself to the "alternative methods" embraced by Bush for interrogations under the American flag.
Adam, why is defending torture so important to you?
Anderson, I'd say that it's you, not me, who has responded in juvenile fashion. I didn't say that the post did advocate The Stalin Test for the evaluation of all policies -- instead, I asked, if The Stalin Test applies to one set of policies, then why not all?
Why would we choose Stalin's interrogation policies as the metric for determining whether a U.S. policy is moral, but not as the metric for evaluating other policies?
The fact is that comparing U.S. policies to Stalin's does nothing to answer whether an interrogation is just or unjust, moral or immoral. Why on earth do you need Josef Stalin to tell you what's right and wrong?
Anderson, you ask why "defending torture" is so important to me. I didn't know that it was. But now I'm curious: Why is comparing Bush to Stalin so important to you?
And again, I wonder, when did legal analysis grow so coarse?
The Soviet Union actually avoided torturing its detainees when it wanted information from them. It treated them pretty well.
It only tortured the detainees they wanted (false) confessions from or people they wanted to crush.
I think the test should be that most things the Soviets did to procure false confessions or to break people are bad.
But, again, why do you need to consult the Soviets' record first? You really can't figure out what's moral or immoral without reference to the Evil Empire?Post a Comment
If the Evil Empire is your reference point for interrogation, why not for other policies? Then again, I must admit, I don't see much need to consult the Soviets' record on *any* major policies. Why do you? Why are you less interested in looking to them for examples of bad tax policy than for bad interrogation policy?
I must continue to profess my confusion as to this new Stalin Test.
