Why bring this up, you ask? Well, aside from being a darn sight better than many similar websites, with insightful commentary and in-depth book reviews, it has a marvellous lineup of reviewers.The Winnipeg Review publishes on-line every quarter, with weekly updates, from its eponymous home. Like the inhabitants of this midcontinental city, TWR is always opinionated, occasionally cranky, and ethnically confused. We exist to review literary books, mostly Canadian fiction, and to showcase interviews, excerpts, poems, and columns by writers with something to say.
Do you really not see where I'm going with this?
Yes, I have gouged away heaping hunks of my free time to through a few reviews their way, which I have been sadly neglect in mentioning here, a neglect I will now remedy.
First, my very recent review of Timothy Taylor's remarkable The Blue Light Project:
And secondly, from two months ago, my two-hander review of Alexander MacLeod's Light Lifting and Sarah Selecky's This Cake is for the Party:The Blue Light Project does not do things the easy way; there are no clear lines of plot, the agendas of secondary characters flit in and about, not everything is tied up in a neat bow. Some reviewers have tried to compensate by refusing to follow the inner logic, instead imposing upon Blue Light a structure Taylor never intended: one reviewer in a major Canadian publication takes this so far as to devote the majority of the review to Pegg's interview with the hostage taker, all but ignoring Eve and Rabbit, removing much of the mystery Taylor delicately builds, and emphasizing all out of proportion what turns out to be a fairly small segment of the actual novel.
Blue Light, despite some remarkably tense moments, is not a thriller, and Taylor never posits it as such. The hostage situation is integral, but it functions as a pivot point for the others to balance on, not as a central theme. What is far more important is Taylor's conjecture that only through trauma can we see clearly and possibly hope to achieve something meaningful in our lives. Blue Light's characters are all seekers; of what, they are not sure, until something jars them from complacency. We see this in the various mobs that surround the building, yearning to be a part of the conclusion, wanting to be a part of anything that might affect them and thus add significance to their existence.
And there you have it. Drop in to The Winnipeg Review for some terrific reviews of a few of my recent favourites, including a sterling treatise by Lee Kvern on Valerie Compton's affecting Tide Road and Michelle Berry on Miriam Toews Irma Voth (on my TBR pile).
At this point, any review of Sarah Selecky's or Alexander MacLeod's recent work could be argued as superfluous. Their fame, for the moment, is secure. Two collections of short stories, each acclaimed to a degree that would make most authors collapse under the weight of their envy. Each a Giller finalist. Each now shortlisted for Commonwealth Best First Book, winner still to be determined. Each taking a comfortable roost inside national and regional bestseller lists. Selecky earns comparisons to Alice Munro. MacLeod escapes the sizable shadow of CanLit heavyweight and father Alistair to carve his own small niche in the canon. These are truly auspicious beginnings for any literary career.
Taken side by side, weighing each collection against the other as we would combatants in a field of battle, Selecky's This Cake is for the Party and MacLeod's Light Lifting showcase sizable talents, displaying unique voices and mastery of craft. They each contain stories of memories captured in time, stories that tell of personal moments and hint at larger ramifications beyond the last sentence. Yet of the two, This Cake holds together better as a whole, but Light Lifting hints at a slightly broader range. It is doubtful anyone would mistake a Selecky story for a MacLeod, but MacLeod could, in the future, pull off a reasonable Selecky.

The Patriots in their first game after the Randy Moss trade, came out and played the Ravens to overtime and then they played them to a win. While Randy Moss was going 5 for 55 in Minnesota, the Patriots returning Deion Branch was going 9 for 98 and a TD. It had the Pats fans asking Moss, Moss who when it was all over.
The game was back and forth the entire 4 quarters. One team would go up and the other would come back and tie it. It went on like this for 4 quarters. Brady was having a very un-Bradylike day with 2 interceptions and a 27 of 44 passing attempt number. Brady was spreading out the receiving yards over 5 receivers while Flacco was doing the same. Both teams running games were moving along. Total yards, passing yards, rushing yards – almost all the same. Time of possession almost the same. Each team had 3 sacks. It was a game about being even, except on Brady's 2 interceptions.
At the end of regulation, the game is tied 20-20. The teams battled it out for almost the entire 15 minute overtime period with neither one able to score even a field goal. And then, on the last possession of overtime, Deion Branch caught two passes of 23 and 10 yards that set up a field goal attempt with 64 seconds left in overtime and the Patriots win the game 23-20. The Ravens defense was as fearsome as ever but the Patriots defense didn't let up. They kept the Ravens from scoring in an entire overtime period and held on for the win.
More than anything, I think this game showed 2 things. Randy Moss needed the Patriots more than the Patriots needed him and the Patriots defense can stand up and under pressure and make sure the offense has a chance to win the game at the end. For the Patriots, this could be season changing. For the Ravens, it may be just a bump in the road, time will tell. For this moment though, Pats fans are asking Moss, Moss who?

2008 President's Message
Achieving Sustainable & Profitable Growth
When my dad started his business 37 years ago, he began it alone and with one backhoe doing work for farmers and homeowners. Today, Brubacher Excavating has transformed completely from those early years. We've grown to 380 employees strong with over 200 pieces of equipment. Our business now comes from developers and general contractors, and the next 37 years will, no doubt, hold even more significant changes to both our company and to the industry. In order to prepare for the future, we've developed and are following a Strategic Plan. The four key objectives of the plan are: 1) Achieving Operational Excellence, 2) Building Customer Loyalty, 3) Becoming the Workplace of Choice and 4) Achieving Sustainable and Profitable Growth. The first three parts will certainly have an impact on the fourth; however, it doesn't guarantee success. We need to select the right places, projects and customers with whom to work.
Core Values not Big Growth Goals Motivate Brubacher
When talking about profits and growth, many people automatically think these are beneficial only to the business owner. But achieving sustainable and profitable growth is much more important for other reasons, including:
- Providing a financially stable workplace where benefits can be maintained
- Offering opportunities to experience career growth
- Broadening the business' scope by adding new construction services for customers; and
- Receiving best pricing from our suppliers which makes us more competitive in the marketplace
We must always be ourselves: What will be the future needs of our customers? Where are the best opportunities to meet those needs? And what do we need to start doing now or change in order to prepare for the answers to those questions?
At Brubacher Excavating, we've never been driven by big growth goals. Instead, our motivation comes from our core values of safety, integrity, honesty, initiative and respectfulness – all which impact our success as a company. Our core values are apparent in our commitment to deliver the best construction experience to our customers and by doing what's right and fair. They are reflected in the strong business relationships we
build, and in turn, customer loyalty grows as our customers gain trust in us.
Staying Flexible to the Future
It is important that we make decisions for the long-run, not simply this year's earnings report. We constantly keep an eye on what will benefit both our customers and our company five, ten and even 20 years from now. That is what has sustained Brubacher Excavating for the last 37 years, and that's what will help us grow over the years to come.
So as we move toward the future, I ask that you remember the importance of being flexible. We need to remain flexible in the types of work we are asked to do for growth to occur, while sticking to our core values. Through hard work and dedication, together we can achieve growth that benefits all for years to come!

For centuries, the forests of the Appalachian Mountains have sustained local communities, provided raw materials for economic expansion, and inspired visitors through local art and trade. The New River Gorge region of West Virginia continues this tradition by supporting and growing the practices of crafting wood products and supporting the forestry industry.
West Virginia's 12 million acres of forestland and 75 billion board feet of timber inventory form the basis of a thriving wood industry. As one of the top wood-producing states in the nation, West Virginia outputs more than 700 million board feet of lumber, 770 million square feet of OSB and 800 million square feet of veneer annually. The state ranks third nationally in percentage of forested land at 79 percent.
Join hundreds of wood processors and thousands of employees in the industry by choosing the New River Gorge region for your wood products production facility. The region offers a skilled labor force of industry specialists, fostered through the traditions of the region as well as cutting edge technology and methods being taught on local higher education campuses within the region. Your production would be in the company of national industry leaders such as Columbia Forest Products, Jeldwen Windows and Doors, Collins Hardwood, New River Hardwoods, and many more.
The West Virginia Wood Technology Center in Elkins offers a wide range of training and certification programs in advanced wood manufacturing technologies on state of the art, computerized equipment and partners with neighboring Fairmont State University offering an associate degree in Wood Production Technology. The Center also provides incubator space for wood product startup companies and offers machine rental time on its equipment to incubator tenants as well as area wood businesses in general.
Advanced degree programs in forestry/forest technology are also offered at:
- Glenville State College
- Potomac State College of West Virginia University
- West Virginia University (Soon to be locating a new campus Downtown Beckley, in Raleigh County)
In addition to educational programs for those new to the industry, the region offers assistance programs for those interested in locating or expanding their production to the New River Gorge region of West Virginia.
- State of West Virginia Forestry Division's Industry Assistance Program
- Appalachian Hardwood Center at West Virginia University
In addition to the direct commerce brought into the region through the forestry industry, communities benefit from these businesses in several ways. Economic markets increase for local events and attractions, tourist services, forest industry products and the arts. Communities grow stronger through local participation and regional networking within and around these products.
The entire region continues to work with industry leaders to expand the works within and appreciation of our multi-faceted forests.
Take a look at groups who have decided to make West Virginia their home within the industry….

The one-time presidential hopeful and darling of the Tea Party Michele Bachmann will be be attending Lady Thatcher's funeral on Wednesday, as part of a visiting US delegation.
Bachmann, who in 2004 described homosexuality as "part of Satan", will travel to London with two other leading Republicans, John Boehner, the speaker of the House of Representatives, said on Monday.
Boehner described Thatcher as "one of the greatest champions freedom has ever known". The funeral gave "Americans and friends around the world an opportunity to pay final respects," he said.
The Republican congresswoman Marsha Blackburn will lead the delegation together with Bachmann and congressman George Holding.
But it is Bachmann's presence at the funeral which is likely to raise liberal eyebrows. Elected to Congress in 2006 for Minnesota, Bachmann has been a hardline opponent of gay rights and abortion. She and her husband Marcus own a Minnesota clinic where counsellors encourage gay people to pray to rid themselves of same-sex desires. Before joining Congress, she prayed outside abortion clinics.
Her ultra-conservative views made her a favourite on television, especially on Fox News, and rapidly boosted her profile in Washington. But her attempt to win the 2012 Republican presidential nomination fizzled out early on, and saw her drop out of the race in January last year. She pulled out after taking just 5% of the vote in the Iowa caucus.
Most observers believed Bachmann's campaign to be gaffe-prone, while her extreme social views alienated moderate voters.
• This article was amended on 17 April 2013. The original said Michele Bachmann was elected to Congress for Iowa. She represents Minnesota.

Leila Buck's American Dreams & Arabian Nights
Leila Buck's American Dreams & Arabian Nights
BRIC House Artist Studio presents Leila Buck's American Dreams & Arabian Nights (work-in-progress) which weavies storytelling, dreams, music and more into a playful work-in-progress inviting the audience into an interactive exploration of who we let into our hearts, families and nations—and how those choices shape who we are.
On Thursday, December 7, 2017, at 7PM and Friday, December. 8, 2017, at 7PM, American Dreams & Arabian Nights (work-in-progress), tells the tale of Scheherezade Brown.
Brown returns to the U.S. from a year in the West Bank, in love with a Palestinian man. Staying with her WASP father and Lebanese mother in their comfortable home over Thanksgiving and Christmastime, she must convince both her family and her country to let her love in. In the process she begins to investigate her own roots, and his, through letters to their unborn child. As she struggles to hold on to love and trust across miles, time zones, immigration battles and dropped WhatsApp connections, her jet lag, dreams, and nightmares intersect with her grandmother's growing dementia to create magical, liminal spaces, blurring boundaries between past and present, here and there, truth and fiction. Weaving storytelling, dream sequences, music, movement and more, this playful work-in-progress invites the audience into an interactive exploration of who we let in to our hearts, families and nations—and how those choices shape who we are.

Unfinished Episodes
All episodes after "The Frycook What Came from All That Space" were scrapped in mid-production. A handful of recordings by the series voice cast exist for some of these unfinished episodes, and the scripts for many can now be found on fansites on the Internet. Most of this material was also released with the Invader Zim 'house' DVD box set as a special edition disc. Jhonen stated in the audio commentary that had the show continued, it would have leaned more towards a sci-fi styled show, with more space battles along the lines of Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars.

|Zim's Roboparents become aggressive parental figures. Zim is deemed "naughty" and is cast out of the house. The Roboparents take in an escaped zoo monster named Dinky as their new son, and Zim must team up with a hobo to reclaim his base.
|"Simon Says Doom"
|Mr. Elliot, Gaz's teacher, is running an orphanage care program. Zim agrees willingly to help out, which puzzles Dib. Dib immediately expects Zim to have some deeper motive, and decides to thwart whatever plan Zim's coming up with. Zim learns of the kids' game "Simon Says" while working with the orphans, and starts using the game for evil. His last command is "Simon says destroy everything!" Dib goes off to stop the raging kids. As it turns out, Zim really has his sights set on an "atomic diaper-changing machine", which he plans to make explode. Dib now has to either stop Zim or the raging orphans, and in his confusion, Mr. Elliot gives him detention for not watching the diaper machine. In the end, it turns out that Zim's plan all along was to confuse Dib into getting detention.
|"Invader Poonchy"
|Zim attempts to distract Dib from him by making it seem as though their classmate Poonchy is also an Irken Invader.
|"Nubs of Doom"
|Zim and Gir are disguised as clowns, and Gir starts going crazy and ruins the disguise. Disgusted by Gir's continuous failures, Zim decides to create a new assistant, employing Vortian weaponry obtained through Prisoner 777. Zim creates his new assistant/sidekick, a purple floating moose-creature which he dubs 'Minimoose'. After testing, he brings Minimoose into the field to battle Dib, only to realise in horror that he hasn't tested the weaponry, and he can't figure out how to use it. He goes home, declaring minimoose a failure. He hands Minimoose to Gir who pulls on his 'nubs' (legs) activating his weaponry and destroying Zim's base.
|"10 Minutes to Doom"
|Zim is in the schoolyard, walking home, when Torque throws a ball at him. This dislodges his Pak, which Dib quickly runs off with. Zim then tries to get it back, pursuing Dib, as it is revealed that an Invader can only survive 10 minutes without the Pak before dying. For the whole episode, a countdown is shown in the corner of the screen. Zim locates Dib by asking a 'skool' security guard to help. The security guard then finds Dib by using the tracking devices placed on every student.
Dib tries to get to Professor Membrane's lab to have him experiment on the Pak, with Zim chasing after him. Dib tricks Torque into attacking Zim, telling him that Zim called him a dookie-weenie. The three of them chase but eventually lose each other, with Dib escaping on a bus and Zim hiding from Torque in a sumo-wrestler's fat.At this point, Zim's Pak has attached itself to Dib as a new host, which begins to make Dib more like Zim. The two of them race to Membrane's lab, with Zim tricking Gaz into letting him ride on the back of her motorcycle (by stealing her Game-Slave and telling her Dib did it).Eventually they arrive, Membrane removes the Pak, and it is then taken by Zim, who places it back on himself at the last second.
|"GIR's Big Day"
|GIR is captured by some scientists for experimentation.
|"The Return of Keef"
|Dib is in the school yard watching a child whom he thinks is a werewolf. Zim then appears and splashes Dib with a liquid that makes anyone happy explode. Not being incredibly happy (having just been drenched in goo) Dib's head does not explode, and Zim walks off. Keef then shows up and compliments Dib on his friendship with Zim, and finding out they are not friends, tries to bring them together. Fed up with Keef, Zim formulate a plan to get rid of him. They invite him to a restaurant and splash him with the happy-exploding juice. They then hug to make Keef really happy and he explodes, before reforming and fainting, with Zim commenting he'll be out cold for a few weeks.
|"Day of da Spookies"
|Dib is in class, giving a presentation on slug people, when he is horribly mocked by Zim and the other students. In a fit of rage, Dib tells the class everything he knows about Irkens. They don't notice, but the information shocks Zim, and he is clearly afraid of how much Dib knows.
Back at his base, Zim plans to ridicule Dib in front of the entire parascience community, in hopes of having him give up on paranormal investigation. Invader Skoodge then reveals that, since Blorch (and presumably Hobo 13), he has been living in Zim's basement. Infuriated by Skoodge's success, he refuses help and goes off with Gir and Minimoose. Their first plan (knocking on Dib's front door and declaring themselves to be 'bigfeets') fails, and they return to the base to plan another one. They make a set of ghost suits and leave again. In Dib's room, they cause chaos until he agrees to call up Mysterious Mysteries and have them appear on live TV. Mysterious Mysteries first sends in a specialist to confirm that they really are ghosts. As this could ruin their plan, Zim gets Gir and Minimoose to attack the specialist and launch him into space, before replacing him with Skoodge.
Skoodge then tests the three with various trials, such as their dancing abilities, before declaring them aliens. The news crews then arrive, at which point Minimoose and Gir cast off their disguises to reveal their true forms. Zim tries to, but the suit malfunctions and keeps him in costume. Thinking that Zim is a real ghost, the Mysteries group grab Zim and carry him away to be tested. They then place Dib in a bucket of rats for lying about there being three ghosts.
|"Mopiness of Doom"
|Dib gives up on the paranormal to study real science like his father. Zim becomes bored with no nemesis, and Dib is unhappy with his new life. The two realise how much they need each other and promise to keep fighting till the end.
|Zim attempts to take over the world with giant ants.
|"Top of the Line"
|The Almighty Tallest hold a contest to find the greatest SIR unit, and Gir makes it into the finalists. Tak was scheduled to appear as the main villain, sabotaging the SIR units.
|"The Trial"
|Zim is put on trial by the Almighty Tallest for everything he's done to Irk in his life.
|"It Feeds on Noodles"
|Zim becomes a vampire that must feed on Chinese food, with chopsticks for fangs.
|"Pants! (When Pants Ruled!)"
|Zim attempts to take over the world with mind-controlling pants.
|"Squishy: Hugger of Worlds"
|An enormous creature called Squishy that destroys planets by hugging them finds Earth.
|"Untitled Season Finale (1)"
The two-part season finale was supposed to deal with Invader Tenn being captured by The Resisty and the rest of the Irken army attempting to save her. This episode is speculated to be "Invader Dib" by some fans of the show.
|"Untitled Season Finale (2)"

Earl was downgraded to a category three hurricane, with the center of the storm presently located around 245 miles (395 kilometers) south of Cape Hatteras in North Carolina and 720 miles (1,155 kilometers) south-southwest of Nantucket in Massachusetts, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Earl is currently packing sustained winds of 125 mph (205 kmph) and is moving towards the north at around 18 mph (30 kmph). A turn to the north-northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected on Friday. On this forecast track, the NHC says Earl will pass near the North Carolina Outer Bank tonight and approach southeastern New England on Friday (September 3) as it tracks parallel to the U.S. East Coast. At present, hurricane-force winds extend up to 90 miles (150 kilometers) from the center of the storm while tropical storm winds extend up to 230 miles (370 kilometers).
The NHC issued a hurricane warning for the coast of Massachusetts from Westport eastward around Cape Cod to Hull, including Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island. A hurricane warning remains in effect for the U.S. East Coast from Bogue Inlet, North Carolina, northeast to the North Carolina/Virginia border, including Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds. Areas north of the North Carolina/Virginia border to Cape Henlopen in Delaware remain in a hurricane watch. An additional hurricane watch has been issued by the Canadian Hurricane Centre for Nova Scotia from Medway Harbour to Digby. A dangerous storm surge is still expected, which will raise water levels as much as 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters) within the hurricane warning area and Chesapeake Bay. Forecasters also warn that up to 6 inches (150 millimeters) of rainfall is expected over parts of eastern North Carolina, including the Outer Banks.
Hazard data illustrated in the CAT-i map was taken from i-aXs®, Guy Carpenter's web-based risk management platform. i-aXs users can view impacted areas on any map as well as see how their portfolios were affected. Please contact your broker or Instrat® representative for assistance or go to www.i-axs.info for further information.
Although Earl weakened slightly, it is still a dangerous category 3 hurricane. The storm is expected to batter North Carolina with heavy rain and destructive winds before moving north along the East Coast. According to the NHC, winds are beginning to extend further from the eye. The western edge of the eyewall may brush against Cape Hatteras, which could create dangerous waves, beach erosion, and some property damage. This approach would give the area full impact of a major hurricane. A similar approach is also forecasted for Rhode Island, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the eastern portion of Long Island.
Earl is expected to continue to gradually weaken today and Friday. The official NHC forecast has Earl reaching the North Carolina coast tonight as a category 3 hurricane and approaching south-eastern New England by Friday night. Tropical storm-force winds are expected to be felt along parts of the North Carolina coast this afternoon, with hurricane-force winds hitting the Outer Banks by tonight. Looking further ahead, the NHC expects tropical storm-force winds to reach Virginia and New Jersey tomorrow night (September 3) before making possible landfall over Nova Scotia in Canada on September 4. Forecasters said Earl will make its closest pass to New Jersey on Friday afternoon as a category 2 hurricane.
Based on today's forecasts, Risk Management Solutions (RMS) estimates nearly USD4 billion of exposure to lie within the NHC cone of uncertainty over North Carolina. RMS stated that the NHC's cone of uncertainty still includes the possibility that the core of the storm will sweep the Outer Banks, but that the on land portion of the cone over North Carolina has reduced since yesterday.

How to Allergy Proof Your Greater Toronto Area Home
Allergies are a nuisance. Itchy eyes, coughing and sneezing make them one of the most uncomfortable problems to deal with. Luckily, there are ways you can allergy proof your home, helping you and your family breathe easier. Whether you or your loved ones suffer from allergies or asthma, taking steps for better air quality will help everyone in your home feel their best.
Steps to Make Your Home Allergy and Asthma Proof
There are a few different methods you can use to reduce the presence of allergens in your home. Here are some steps you can take:
- Steam clean carpets – Vacuuming can only remove so much dirt, dust and debris from your carpets. To fully remove the particles that become trapped over time and that can be the cause of stuffed noses, hire professionals for rug cleaning or for carpet steam cleaning .
- Clean your ducts – Having your ducts and furnace cleaned in Toronto by a professional is very important if you are looking to remove allergens from the home since they are responsible for cycling air throughout your home. With cold winters and warm summers, it is not surprising that these ducts collect a lot of debris and should be cleaned to remove particles and allergens that can be re-circulated in your indoor air.
- Have upholstery and curtains professionally cleaned – Most people take the time to remove dust from visible surfaces, but the particles that rest in furniture and drapes often go forgotten. Hire a professional to clean your upholstery and curtains, especially if they are second-hand. You would be surprised at how much dust and allergens these materials can attract.
- Take flood restoration seriously – Any water damage in your home creates the opportunity for mold to form. It can be difficult to see and may not be identified for a long time, especially since most flooding occurs in the lower levels of the home. That means your family could be inhaling harmful spores for a long time without knowing the cause or source. If you have a flooding issue, hire professionals to provide flood restoration in Toronto.
Need Help to Clean and Allergy Proof Your Home in Toronto?
For comprehensive cleaning and restoration services, contact the experts at Babayan's. We offer a range of cleaning services to improve the air quality in your home. From duct cleaning to carpet steam cleaning and water damage restoration, trust our years of service and experience to make your home allergy proof.

VIDEO: The Starters break down Rudy Gay being traded to the Kings
HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — What happens when three of the NBA's top usage players come together on the same team, in one starting lineup? That is now first-year Sacramento Kings coach Mike Malone's Rubik's Cube.
As Rudy Gay, the man atop the analytics movement's love-to-hate list — and it's reciprocal — watched his new team play Monday night from under a red-and-blue retro Kings hat, he surely enjoyed the offensive explosion Isaiah Thomas, DeMarcus Cousins and his other new teammates dropped on the Dallas Mavericks in a resounding victory.
And then Gay surely wondered from where is he going to get his?
"That's a good question," Malone said. "You start Isaiah, who has always been a scoring guard. You have DeMarcus, who's going to be the focal point of our offense. And then you add a guy like Rudy. And you have Ben [McLemore]. You have Derrick [Williams]. The one thing I'm proudest about is that we're really sharing the ball. We haven't shot the ball as well as we'd like this year, but the ball movement, the unselfishness, has been there.
"That's going to be my challenge to this group now."
Against Dallas, Cousins scored 32 points and attempted 17 shots. Thomas, a pound-the-rock point guard, scored 24 and took 16 shots. Williams scored 31, also on 16 shots. The Kings, as Malone noted, are also developing the rookie shooting guard McLemore, who got seven shots. That's 56 shot attempts among four players.
Enter Gay. The Kings acquired the handsomely paid and athletic 6-foot-8 forward — infamously known by a burgeoning group of meddlesome analytics worshipers as the game's great ball-stopper — knowing he averages nearly as many shot attempts per game (18.6) as points (19.4).
When the Kings (6-13) take the floor tonight at Sleep Train Arena against the last-place Jazz (10 ET, League Pass), assuming Gay is ready to go, the starting lineup will be Thomas, McLemore, Gay, Jason Thompson and Cousins. The league's rules committee has not yet convened to allow for the use of more than one basketball.
"I'm not going to get into that," Cousins said when asked if the addition of Gay will mean subtracting from his team-high 17.2 shot attempts per game. "We have our game plans here and we have a system. Coach is going to do the best job of putting us in a position that he thinks is best and whatever that may be that's what we're going to go with."
With that, usage will become the hot advanced stat of the day in Sacramento. Usage is an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor. Cousins ranks No. 1 among all players — not just centers, but all players — with a usage percentage of 35.0 percent. Among centers, Brooklyn's Brook Lopez is second at 26.9 percent. Dwight Howard's usage is 23.5 percent.
Despite being the backup to the traded Greivis Vasquez, Thomas ranks tied for sixth among guards in usage with Dwyane Wade at 27.7 percent (Greivis' usage percentage was 18.8 percent). Gay's usage, 30.1 percent with the Raptors, ranks third among forwards behind Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant.
To compare other trios, the Rockets' usage looks like this: James Harden, 27.3 percent; Howard, 23.5 percent; and Chandler Parsons, 18.9 percent. Here's the Thunder: Russell Westbrook, 32.0 percent; Durant 30.7 percent; and Serge Ibaka, 19.1 percent.
Not only did the Kings add another high-usage player in Gay, but also an inefficient player. He's shooting just 38.8 percent on the season (although his 3-point accuracy is way up at 37.3 percent), an especially disappointing number considering he spent so much time during the offseason working to raise a shooting percentage that has sagged badly over the past two seasons.
Thomas and Cousins have been a strong duo. The Kings are scoring 111.7 points per 100 possessions when they're on the floor together, which was limited — 242 minutes in 18 games, or about 13 mpg. Their minutes together should rise significantly now that Vasquez is out of the picture. Against Dallas — notably a poor defensive team — they played together for 36 minutes and registered an offensive rating of 119.9 and a defensive rating of 85.5.
Sacramento's hope is that the addition of Gay forces defenses to pick their poison. Conversely, the analytics crowd is sounding the alarm, warning of an incoming poison pill.
"I know everyone's hung up on his 38 percent this year," Malone said. "But if you look at his numbers throughout his career, he's shot well over 45 percent a number of seasons. I'm not as concerned as a lot of these analytic people get concerned about. He's a very talented player. End of games, he can make plays for you. He's versatile. He can score in the post, handling the ball, catch-and-shoot, isolation. He's talented and we become a much more talented team with him."
NBA.com's Scott Howard-Cooper contributed to this report.

Once a course has been paid for, a contractual arrangement between the student and ELTA exists and the following conditions come into effect:
Cancellations and Refunds
- If the student cannot attend a course on the agreed date, the course may be deferred for a period of up to three months. ELTA must be informed of the student's intention to defer the course one week before the student is due to start. A re-arrangement fee of €75 will apply.
- A €150 non-refundable fee is charged in respect of all cancellations
- If a course is cancelled 2 weeks or more before the commencement date, the course will be refunded (less the €150 fee).
- If a course is booked from outside the EU and cancelled after the student has entered the state, there can be no refund to that student, nor can the payment for that course be transferred to another student. However, the course will be held open for the period of one year.
- Courses cancelled less than one week before the commencement date will not be refunded.
- Payments made by credit or debit card can only be repaid onto the same card, and those made by bank transfer are returned to the same bank account from which the payment originated. Fees can be returned only to their origin and only by the method by which they were received.
Transferring to Another Course at ELTA
- In some circumstances, at the discretion of the management, it may be possible for a student to transfer to another course at ELTA (e.g. from General English to TESOL), but in some circumstances only. Such course changes are not automatically permitted.
Days Missed and Public Holidays
- If a student has commenced their course and decides they do not wish to complete it, no refund will be given nor can the remaining portion of the course be re-sold by the student who bought it to another student.
- Days missed for personal reasons, including illness without a doctor's letter, will not be compensated.
- Students who register for one Academic Year (25 weeks), availing of the special price that course is sold at, must study during the first six months, while the remaining 6 months are holiday time. Holidays or time out for any reason during the 25-week period of an Academic Year course will not be compensated (for clarification of this point in the case of Non-EU students wishing to work full-time during the holidays, please see below: Permission to Work)
- Classes are held from Monday to Thursday. A period of less than one working week cannot be sold.
- Classes begin on Mondays, except when that week commences with a public holiday.
- ELTA is closed for one week at Easter and three weeks at Christmas/New Year. If either of these holidays falls within the study period bought, the study period will be prolonged to accommodate the holiday.
- Other public holidays, such as Saint Patrick's Day, May Day and the June, August and October Bank Holidays, are non-refundable.
Permission to Work
- Stamp 2 visa students (i.e. Non-EU students who have come to Ireland to study for a period of 25 weeks or more) are legally entitled to engage in 20 hours paid work per week while they are studying; and they are further entitled to engage in full-time paid work during two designated holiday periods: from 1st June to 1st October and from 15th December to 15th January. The study period of students wishing to avail of the right to work full time during these two allocated holiday periods will be adjusted to accommodate the time they have absented themselves for full-time work.
- If a student is absent without notice for more than 8 days (two working weeks), their name will be removed from the register. Immigration will be notified in the case of Stamp 2 students (non-EU students with a study visa).
- Before traveling students must ensure that their medical, travel and personal insurance is in place. EU students should bring their European Health Insurance Card with them. Please note that this only entitles you to emergency hospital care and attendance at doctors listed with the Health Board as service providers to Medical Card Holders. Students can apply to their local Health Office at http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/LHO/ for a list of such doctors. Non-EU students coming for a period of 6 months or more must have medical insurance covering the period of their study visa. This insurance can be bought from the school. Non-EU students coming for a period of study shorter than 90 days can buy their travel insurance together with their flight ticket or otherwise must make their own insurance arrangements.
- Note that ELTA accepts no responsibility for accident, illness, theft, the loss of personal effects or any other mishap that may befall a student.

- New students will be given a level test before starting the course and placed in a class at their level.
- As classes are held in the morning and afternoon, the class at the most appropriate level for the student may be at either of these times.

ELTA reserves the right to place the student in a class of the appropriate level as ascertained in the level test or as deemed necessary by the teacher.
- If a class has four students or fewer, it will be merged with the class closest to it in level.
- If a class has more than 15 students, ELTA will divide that class.

Code of Conduct
- All students are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and to show consideration for others. ELTA reserves the right to refuse to teach any student whose behaviour causes annoyance, distress or offence to others. Persistent or serious offenders will have their course cancelled.

Are Bathroom Remodeling Books Worth The Buy?
Are you interested in having your bathroom undergo remodeling? Better yet, are you interested in doing that remodeling yourself? If you are, do you have any prior bathroom remodeling or home improvement experience? Although it is possible to successfully complete a bathroom remodeling project without any prior experience, you may find it a little bit difficult to do so. That is why if you are looking to perform your own bathroom remodeling, but you don't necessarily know what you are doing, you should sign up to take a bathroom remodeling class.
When it comes to bathroom remodeling classes, one of the most asked questions is why. Honestly, there are a number of different reasons why you should take a bathroom remodeling class, which is also commonly referred to a course or a training seminar. Perhaps, the greatest reason why you should take one of these training classes is because of everything that you will learn. What you will learn will all depend on what class you are taking and how it is being taught. Despite the fact that different bathroom remodeling classes are taught different ways, you should learn tips and instructions on how to safely remodel a bathroom.
Now that you know what a bathroom remodeling class, course, or training seminar is, you may want to start searching for one to attend. No matter where you live, you should have access to at least one bathroom remodeling course, but chances are that you will have more than one to choose from. One of the best ways to find a local bathroom remodeling course is by contacting one of your local career centers. Career centers often provided training courses to those who are in need of a job. Although you may not necessarily be looking for a job, you should still be able to attend one of these classes, for a small fee of course. Despite needing to pay a small fee, which is almost always less than one hundred dollars, you can greatly benefit from what you learn at one of these classes.
In addition to contacting one of your local career training centers, you may also want to contact one of your local home improvement stores. In the United States, a large number of home improvement stores, particularly those that operate on a national level, have started hosting do it yourself training courses. These courses often encompass a number of different home improvement projects, but it is quite common to find a kitchen remodeling class being held at one of your local home improvement stores. In most cases, you will find that these courses only last a few hours and tend to focus on one remodeling task at a time; therefore, if you were looking to learn how to remodel your whole kitchen, you may need to take multiple classes. The good news is that most of the classes offered are free or relatively inexpensive to attend.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye on your local newspaper, your local television stations, as well as your local radio stations. In addition to regularly scheduled kitchen remodeling classes, you may also find a remodeling class that is considered a special event. This most often happens when someone famous, such as a well-known contractor, comes into your area. These types of classes are often popular because of who they involve and what they teach you. The only downside to special home improvement classes, especially the ones that are taught by celebrities or an expert in the filed, is their cost. Despite the potentially high cost, you may find it more than worth it to attend one of these home improvement classes, especially if they have a focus on bathroom remodeling.
As nice as it is to participate in a bathroom remodeling training seminar, course, or class, you may not have the time to do so. If that is the case, you are still advised to take the time to learn about bathroom remodeling before you go to work. A nice alternative to a kitchen remodeling training course is a kitchen remodeling book or a how-to guide. These resources can be purchased from most home improvement stores and book stores, for a relatively affordable price.
Perhaps, before you start determining whether or not bathroom remodeling books are worth the buy, you should first familiarize yourself with exactly what they are. Bathroom remodeling books, which are also sometimes referred to as bathroom remodeling how-to guides, are printed resources that are designed to assist homeowners with their own do it yourself bathroom remodeling projects. Bathroom remodeling books and how-to guides not only give you remodeling ideas and tips, but they also tend give detailed remodeling directions, such as directions on how to replace your bathroom flooring and so on.
Now that you know what bathroom remodeling books are, you may want to start examining whether or not you should buy one. Honestly, it all depends on a number of different factors. Bathroom remodeling books or how-to guides come in a number of different formats. There are some books that list information and directions on multiple bathroom projects, while others tend to only focus on one or two. If you are looking to have the majority of your bathroom remodeled, it may be a good idea to purchase a book that covers a number of different projects and visa versa. The best way to make sure that a bathroom remodeling book is money well spend is by making sure that you purchase a book that you can use.
Speaking of a book that you can use, it is not only important to examine the projects that are outlined or explained in a bathroom remodeling book, but it is also important to examine how they are outlined or explained. For instance, would you be able to read a detailed set of written directions or would you like to see those directions shown in pictures. While a large number of bathroom remodeling how-to guides have detailed pictures with their directions, not all do. Once again, you will not waste your money and purchase a bathroom remodeling book that will not do you any help.
Another thing to consider, when determining whether or not kitchen remodeling books and how-to guides are worth the money, is their price. How-to remodeling guides can be purchased online, from most home improvement stores, and most books stores. Each of those locations is likely to sell different books, for different prices. Despite the variation in costs, you will find that most traditional bathroom remodeling books, the ones that tend to focus on a number of different projects, sell for as low as ten dollars. If you are looking for a more detailed remodeling book, you may need to pay a little bit more money. Most specialty bathroom remodeling books start out selling for around fifteen or twenty dollars. Of course, you need to remember that some books will sell for less and some books will sell for more.
From the looks of it, you may be thinking that bathroom remodeling books are more than worth the buy. In most cases, you will find that you are right. However, it is also important to note that you should be able to find the same information online, without having to pay a dime. If are looking to save money, instead of purchasing a bathroom remodeling how-to guide, you may want to think about performing a standard internet search online.

US – Mattel has collaborated with Google to re-invent the iconic View-Master as a 'mom-approved' virtual reality (VR) headset.
The new View-Master is a lightweight, handheld headset created to offer immersive, educational VR experiences. The device is strapless and features no headphone socket, to discourage children from spending too much time in the digital world, according to Mattel.
Three experience packs including Wildlife, Space and Destinations are available to buy, and can be paired with a smartphone app to create the 360-degree photospheres seen in Google Cardboard's VR ecosystem.
'This classic toy gives kids an enhanced experience allowing for play opportunities not yet imagined through new, digitally curated content,' says Douglas Wadleigh, senior vice-president and global brand general manager at Mattel.
The revamped View-Master demonstrates that virtual reality is no longer the preserve of the gaming sector. Take a look at our Virtual Reality Market report to see how its implications extend to film, social media, education, medicine and more.

I was recently contacted by Terapia Urbana who are committed to developing urban greening tools and solutions to ease the effects of global warming, inefficient energy consumption and excessive CO2 emissions that many of our cities now face. The one particular product I am very interested in is the slimgreenwall which is a hassle free living Interior wall.
How does it work? Well it purifies the air by recycling excessive Co2 in the atmosphere, creates a barrier for sound pollution, and with the excess carbon dioxide out of the office air, it increases productivity and happiness.
What I like about this product is that it isn't just some conceptual idea, a pipe dream created by some idealistic designers, it is fully functioning, operational and available to purchase in the UK through Scotscape. The image above is the product at the Ayesa Advanced Technologies Office in Seville, Spain. How great does it look fixed onto that neutral wall!
That's all well and good I hear you say, but it must take ages to clean and maintain? Well in fact no, it is self sufficient, self cleaning and has automatic irrigation all included. Just install and reap the benefits of cleaner air in your home, office or any space you deem imaginable.
In a world where the word 'eco' has become a gimmick and nonchalantly used in everyday speak, it is great to see a product which is feasible, believable and beneficial to everyday people in everyday Interiors.

Dear Dr. Woo:
Thank you for inviting my wife, Beverly, and me to contribute to Catholic Relief Services. Your invitation gives me the opportunity to explain why we cannot contribute. The CRS Christmas cards you enclosed are lovely, but we cannot use them. We have the report from Judie Brown, president of American Life League, that 86 percent of CRS funding goes to organizations that promote killing the next generation by abortion. We know the National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWC) does the same thing, and has for many decades despite protests from pro-life Catholics.
We have come to believe this practice by CRS and the NCWC has persisted for so long because both organizations are run by Democrats whose first loyalty is to their party and they have the support of too many priests and especially bishops. We believe the goal is to align the social and welfare policies, as opposed to the doctrines, of the Catholic Church in America with those of the Democrat party, which is militantly pro-abortion and increasingly anti-Catholic. The evidence is beyond intelligent dispute, as you must know.
We know that, as a community organizer in Chicago, Barack Obama was funded by Catholic charities. We know that Margaret Sanger, originally an Irish Catholic, went on to embrace the racist ideology of eugenics, which led to Auschwitz in the Third Reich. We know she hatched her "Negro Project" with Clarence Gamble of the Procter and Gamble fortune "to exterminate the Negro population" (her words), and she founded Planned Parenthood with that in mind. The Alan Guttmacher Institute (the research arm of PP) reports four of five Abortion Auschwitzes run by PP are in Black and now Hispanic neighborhoods. We know the key to the Negro Project was seducing Black preachers into believing the Big Lie that "birth control" was the key to "Negro" economic advancement. We know having a Black U.S. president, Barack Obama, on board trumps any Black preacher. PP gave Obama (and Hillary Clinton) its "Maggie" award, honoring Margaret Sanger.
We know that Black babies are aborted at triple the rate of White babies, that PP accepts money given to kill only Black babies. We know PP endorses killing babies who survive abortion, as does Barack Obama. We know that many (most?) PP Abortion Auschwitzes are as filthy as the one run by Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia. We know that PP provides abortionists for the sex-slave traffic when one of the underage girls smuggled here from Latin America gets pregnant. We know aborting a first pregnancy is the main cause of breast cancer later on. We know Obama now gives PP a half-billion of taxpayer dollars every year, and Congress provides it. Pro-abortion Democrats call abortion a sacrament. Rockefeller Republicans-in-name-only (RINOs) agree.
The original game Monopoly has a card reading, "Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass 'Go.' Do not collect $200." We say to CRS, Go to Hell. Go straight to Hell. Do not pass "Go." Do not collect money from loyal Catholics. I'm sending this to hundreds of friends and colleagues by e-mail.

What is carbon monoxide? What are its properties? How is it formed?
The incomplete combustion of carbon containing fuels, such as natural gas, propane, coal, and gasoline produces carbon monoxide gas. The chemical symbol for carbon monoxide is CO. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen for the carbon to burn completely. The physical properties of carbon monoxide are as follows: odorless, colorless, highly toxic gas.
How this relates to safety in your home or building.
As combustion appliances age, their components can wear, go out of adjustment, or stop working. When a gas burning furnace, stove, water heater, gas dryer, etc. is not working correctly, or during a fire, carbon monoxide can accumulate in your home or building. In addition to the primary burner for the appliance, the pilot lights and vents can also be the source of CO. Carbon monoxide can also migrate to your home or building from a home or other sources near you. If any of these were to happen, the results can be very serious or fatal.
What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?
The symptoms of carbon vary with the concentration of carbon monoxide, the length of exposure, and other physical and physiological factors. Carbon monoxide affects the body in a number of ways, primarily by limiting the ability of the red blood cells to absorb and transport vital oxygen. Some of the symptoms are dizziness, headache, nausea, weak pulse, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, confusion, tightness of chest, respiratory failure, convulsions and death.
How can I tell when carbon monoxide gas is present?
Since the gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless, you will not know until the poisonous gas causes physiological symptoms unless you have a properly located and functioning carbon monoxide detector and alarm.
What are the types of CO detectors and alarms?
Make sure you get expert service or advice on this topic. Ideally, the expert or certified technician that provides this service for you will do so based on observations made on site, including: the layout and construction of your home and the location of fuel burning appliances within and near it.
Generally, these alarms detect carbon monoxide and give an audible (sound) alarm so you can leave the building immediately. A less common type of detector gives visual indicators that change colors, etc. in the presence of carbon monoxide.
One way to categorize carbon monoxide alarms is by their power source. The choices vary from battery powered to wall outlet plug-in models to models that are hard wired. There are also models that use plug in or wired electricity as their primary power source and have a battery backup.
How do I get rid of carbon monoxide gas or prevent it from being in my home or building?
Two ways. (1) Have your furnace, water heater, stove and other fuel burning appliances and their vents tested, and if needed, adjusted on a regular basis by a certified technician. A convenient time to have these performed is in conjunction with your air conditioning and heating system annual maintenance. Ask your local HVAC contractor if they offer this service and, if not, if they can recommend a local company who does. (2) Have carbon monoxide detectors professionally installed and make sure they are checked periodically per the owner's manual.
How do I know a company or technician is qualified or certified to test for carbon monoxide or maintain appliances to correct or prevent it?
There are a number organizations in the U.S. that maintain certification programs for carbon monoxide technicians or equipment. We will give a partial list here:
Some of the other factors or questions you might want to consider: the length the company has been in business, the years of experience the technician has in this field, the type of current certification they have, and the company's rating by the Better Business Bureau in your city.
The main two points regarding carbon monoxide in homes:
(1) Carbon monoxide alarms must be placed in the correct places in your home or building and must be working properly for the circumstances there.
(2) Get expert service and advice to make sure your home or building stays protected.
What is my next step?
Since you should have your air conditioning and heating system inspected and maintained yearly, this provides an ideal time to test your furnace for proper operation. Typically this includes a spring tune up for the air conditioning and a fall tuning of the central heating system furnace. While calling for your appointment, ask your air conditioning and heating contractor if their technicians also perform testing and tune-ups for your gas stoves and water heater and install alarms. If not, ask if they can recommend a company to do so or call your plumbing contractor to ask for a certified technician.

The 2013 state-level ACCRA cost of living index ranked Louisiana as the 4th-lowest cost of living in the country.
Senior Director of Business Development
[email protected]
Louisiana's established advanced manufacturing sector provides unparalleled advantages for aerospace operations. Nationally recognized for its manufacturing talent, the state is making additional strategic investments in higher education programs to enhance skills and expertise. The state offers unparalleled infrastructure and logistics, an abundance of sites and expedited permitting. Add to that the nation's best state workforce development program and internationally competitive incentives, and it's clear Louisiana provides aerospace companies a competitive edge.
At the core of Louisiana's competitive advantages is the strength of its business climate. In recent years, the state has enacted reforms to create an atmosphere that Forbes magazine calls, "America's new frontier for business opportunity." Louisiana now ranks in the Top 10 states for business climate in the U.S., according to Area Development, Development Counsellors International and Site Selection.
Globally-recognized aerospace companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman have established operations in Louisiana and are benefiting from the state's unique advantages.

Any investor in Apple knows that apps are a huge part of the company's mobile dominance. Apple's App Store has become the hub for developer activity, with top apps like Instagram hitting the App Store first before eventually migrating to Android.
However, the very foundation of developing across different mobile platforms is being played out right now between LinkedIn and Facebook. LinkedIn has revealed that almost all of its mobile traffic comes from its app, which in and of itself shows the importance of apps on smartphones. Yet LinkedIn says 95% of its recently launched iPad app was created using cross-platform HTML5, a Web standard. That's in stark contrast to Facebook, which recently replaced its HTML5-developed app with one specially written for Apple's iOS. Since the launch of its updated app created natively for iOS, Facebook has received rave reviews.
In the following video, Senior Technology Analyst Eric Bleeker explains why the intricacies of Web development are important for investors in Apple and its rivals. Companies such as Research In Motion and Microsoft have been trying to catch up with Apple but are having a tough time enticing wide developer support on their platforms. The more platform-agnostic standards such as HTML5 catch on, the more development is a level playing field. Yet the problem with HTML5 is that more demanding applications like games and even Facebook see performance issues on it. As Facebook has demonstrated the performance increases seen with its native app, that's a problem likely to continue in the years ahead. To see Eric's full though, watch the following video.
As the discussion about things such as HTML5 versus native apps shows, Apple investors have a lot to keep track of. To help investors track all the threats and opportunities facing the company, we've created a brand-new report on Apple. Best of all, it's not just a read-it-and-forget-it report -- it comes with continuing updates and guidance on the company that's essential to Apple investors. Just this week, we launched an exclusive report on what investors need to know about the iPhone 5, including which suppliers are best positioned as profit plays along with Apple. If you're interested more Apple guidance, get started now.

In the post, "It's Time to Disrupt the Disruptors, or Maybe I'm Just New," Jennifer Tweedie made an interesting suggestion about bringing change to the industry of Marketing through the acquiring of more diversified participants. At first, I wasn't quite sure how her comments were disruptive, so I did some research.
For those of you who don't know what disruption is in business, Caroline Howard of Forbes provides a rather clear definition in her article, "Disruption Vs. Innovation: What's The Difference?"
Disruption takes a left turn by literally uprooting and changing how we think, behave, do business, learn and go about our day-to-day.
Having access to a car is not a luxury that all share, and not everyone has access to public transportation. This is something Uber has helped to resolve.
As one of today's most innovative, app-based, companies on the market, Uber has provided anyone with a smartphone the ability to call a ride when needed.
The app will look likes this:
If you use this code when signing up, your first ride will be free: rebeccac9335ue
After you sign-up, you get a screen when you open the app. It should look something like this:
The great thing is, after you've created an account you will also get a code. With this code, the love can be shared, by passing it on so that other newbies can get a free ride.
After you've tried it, leave a comment and let everyone know what you think. Enjoy Uber!

Paul Gauguin:
Paul Gauguin Art Locations
(born June 7, 1848, Paris, France ?? died May 8, 1903, Atuona, Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia) French painter, sculptor, and printmaker. He spent his childhood in Lima (his mother was a Peruvian Creole). From c. 1872 to 1883 he was a successful stockbroker in Paris. He met Camille Pissarro about 1875, and he exhibited several times with the Impressionists. Disillusioned with bourgeois materialism, in 1886 he moved to Pont-Aven, Brittany, where he became the central figure of a group of artists known as the Pont-Aven school. Gauguin coined the term Synthetism to describe his style during this period, referring to the synthesis of his paintings formal elements with the idea or emotion they conveyed. Late in October 1888 Gauguin traveled to Arles, in the south of France, to stay with Vincent van Gogh. The style of the two men work from this period has been classified as Post-Impressionist because it shows an individual, personal development of Impressionism use of colour, brushstroke, and nontraditional subject matter. Increasingly focused on rejecting the materialism of contemporary culture in favour of a more spiritual, unfettered lifestyle, in 1891 he moved to Tahiti. His works became open protests against materialism. He was an influential innovator; Fauvism owed much to his use of colour, and he inspired Pablo Picasso and the development of Cubism.

"This week, Congress is planning to vote on bills to expand children's health care through a new reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). While it is necessary for Congress to reauthorize SCHIP before current funding expires in March 2009, it is imperative that Congress passes a 2009 SCHIP bill that demonstrates our nation's priorities to children's access to health.
Under current law, legal immigrant children and pregnant women must wait five years before they become eligible for federally funded Medicaid and SCHIP. Congress can address this inequity by including the Legal Immigrant Children's Health Improvement Act (ICHIA) in the 2009 SCHIP reauthorization bill. Moreover, in these difficult economic times, Congress should be finding ways to help America's working families and states with tight budgets. ICHIA would provide fiscal relief to families as well as states and would be a key component of a strong health reform foundation.
The U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on a new State Children's Health Insurance Program bill as early as today. The Senate is working on its SCHIP bill with a vote likely later this week. As of today, the Senate Finance Committee plans to send SCHIP to the full Senate on Thursday without ICHIA. As in the past, a minority of senators threatens to use anti-immigrant tactics to block inclusion of ICHIA in what should only be a debate about how best to provide health care to children.
Please immediately contact the following Finance Committee members. Tell these Senate Finance Committee Members that
the Senate's SCHIP bill MUST INCLUDE ICHIA.
Senate Finance Committee Members:
Member has been supportive in the past but has not confirmed support this year:
Max Baucus (D-MT), Chair
Kent Conrad (D-ND)
Ron Wyden (D-OR)
Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
Member's current position on ICHIA is unknown:
Charles Grassley (R-IA), Ranking Member
Ken Salazar (D-CO)
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Pat Roberts (R-KS)
Jon Kyl (R-AZ)
Jim Bunning (R-KY)
Mike Crapo (R-ID)
John Ensign (R-NV)
The following members are supportive and have indicated they will vote "Yes" to ICHIA:
John Rockefeller (D-WV)
Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)
John Kerry (D-MA)
Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
Charles Schumer (D-NY)
Maria Cantwell (D-WA
Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
If you have time, please thank them for their support.
For contact information for Senate Finance Members, please go to the website link below, scroll down, click on the member, call their office, and ask to speak to the HEALTH staff.
Other members of the Congress:
If you have additional time, please call your own two Senators and your Representative and let them know that their support for inclusion of ICHIA in SCHIP this week will be critical to the future of all children, not just immigrant children."
So why are you still reading? Go. Call.
