THEODORE WILLIAM SCHREIBER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.579-580. The business interests of Schleswig township find a worthy representative in Theodore William Schreiber, who is successfully engaged in farming, and at the same time manufactures and ships cheese and butter, this constituting an important branch of his business. He is ever careful concerning the methods of manufacture and the excellence of his product insures a ready sale on the market. Mr. Schreiber was born in Potter, Wisconsin, March 9, 1878, and was one of a family of six children, whose parents were August and Catherine (Beil) Schreiber. The father, a native of Sheboygan county, Wisconsin, has followed carpentering throughout his entire life, and formerly was also engaged in the manufacture of cheese and in the dairy business. He is now living in Ashland, Wisconsin, at the age of sixty years. Unto him and his wife were born five sons and a daughter: Edwin, who makes his home in Ashland; Theodore W. of this review; Oscar, a resident of Pulcifer, Wisconsin; Frank and Otto, who are residents of Ashland, and Mrs. Lydia Nobel, living in Ionia, Michigan. At the usual age Theodore W. Schreiber entered the public schools and after putting aside his text—books he began learning the carpenters trade. At the age of sixteen he took up cheese—making, in the employ of John Heisdorf, with whom he remained one season, and in 1899 he began the manufacture of cheese at Milford, Wisconsin. He afterward took charge of the Posley cheese factory and subsequently built the Bahr factory, but in 1904 took up his abode upon his present farm in Schleswig township. Here in addition to tilling the soil, in the cultivation of the crops best adapted to climatic conditions, he likewise operates one of the largest cheese factories in this part of the county. He makes a specialty of dairy long horn young American and also pocket cheese, which he ships extensively. In addition he manufactures butter of high grade and he has his farm splendidly equipped for carrying on business along these different lines. His cheese factory and dairy are most complete and sanitary in their arrangements, the utmost neatness characterizes the cheese factory and dairy buildings and the business has now assumed extensive proportions, Mr. Schreiber using three and a half million pounds of milk in the manufacture of cheese and butter. His products have gained high and well deserved reputation, so that he has no difficulty in making a ready sale. Mr. Schreiber was married in 1899 to Miss Adella Busher, who was born in Sheboygan county, Wisconsin, and is a daughter of Carl and Bertha (Wickensperg) Busher, who reside with Mr. and Mrs. Schreiber. By the marriage of our subject and his wife there have been born four children: Elmer, eleven years of age, now in school; Raymond, Herman and Pearl, aged respectively nine, seven and five years. Mr. Schreiber is interested in the cause of education and at the present time is serving as clerk of the school board. He is a member of the Reformed church of Kiel and this indicates much of the principles which govern his life and guide his relations with his fellowmen. He is a very enterprising, progressive citizen who has recognized and improved business opportunities and thus gradually worked his way upward until he is now one of the foremost representatives of an industry that figures as one of the leading sources of prosperity and worth in Manitowoc county. In all of his dealings he is strictly reliable and his record proves that success and an honored name may be won simultaneously. JOHN SCHREIHART This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.74. John Schreihart, who is one of the well known brewers of Manitowoc county, Wisconsin, is a native of Austria, and came to this county in 1869, working for others for two years, and then forming a partnership with a Mr. Pautz. He eventually purchased the Fricke Brewery, which he rented in 1885 when he went on a trip to Europe, but in 1890 assumed management of it again with Frank Willinger and Gus Miller. In 1891 Mr. Willinger sold his interests to Mr. Schreihart, and it was operated by the other partners until 1904, when the firm was incorporated under the style of Schreihart Brewing Company. On January I, 1911, Charles Kulnick bought the Miller interests, and at this time H. J. Schreihart, who up to that time had been brewmaster of the concern, was made president; Otto Senglaub was elected secretary; and Charles Kulnick, treasurer and manager. The plant has a capacity of thirty thousand barrels per year and produces the well known "Weiner" and "Old German Style" beers, employing fifteen men. John Schreihart married Frances Wilfer, a native of Germany, and they had five children, namely: Mrs. Charles Kulnick; H. J.; Ed, who is engineer at the brewery; Helene; and Adolph, who is studying for the priesthood. Ed Schreihart married Miss Schroeder of Milwaukee. H. J. Schreihart attended the Hanthe Brewing School of Milwaukee, now known as the Industrial Chemical Institute, after leaving which he entered his father's brewery as brewmaster, a position which he held until his election as president in 1911. He has served as supervisor of the third ward for two years, and is prominent in business and fraternal circles. He was married to Miss Hattie Hartwig, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. FRANK SCHROEDER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.150-155. Frank Schroeder is treasurer of the well known firm of Schroeder Brothers Company, and as assistant cashier of the Two Rivers Savings Bank needs no introduction to the readers of this volume. The family has been represented here since pioneer times and his record has been in keeping with that of father and brothers who have long figured as prominent, influential and valued citizens of the community. Frank Schroeder was born October 5, 1874, on the home farm in Two Creeks township, Manitowoc county, his parents being Peter Joseph and Angeline (Rollinger) Schroeder, who are mentioned at length on another page of this work. The public schools afforded him his preliminary education which was supplemented by study in the Spencerian Business College of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After putting aside his text-books he entered into the partnership that has since been maintained under the name of the Schroeder Brothers Company, of which he is now treasurer. They carry a large and well selected line of general merchandise and the neat and tasteful arrangement of their store together with its reasonable prices and straightforward dealing is a factor in its success. In 1906 Frank Schroeder was united in marriage to Miss Ervine DeLille who was born at Two Rivers, April 20, 1882, a daughter of John DeLille, an early settler of Manitowoc county and foreman for the Hamilton Manufacturing Company. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder have become parents of three children: Joseph, born June 25, 1907; Frances, born January 25, 1909; and Mildred, born October 10, 1910. The parents are consistent members of the Catholic church and Mr. Schroeder holds membership with the St. Joseph's Society of Two Rivers, and the Knights of Columbus at Manitowoc. HUGO L. SCHROEDER
(sent in by family member/see contributors page) JOACHIM SCHROEDER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.116-119. Joachim Schroeder, in whose death, December 27, 1903, the town of Mishicot lost one of its public-spirited citizens and substantial farmers, and an honored veteran of the Civil war, was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, on October 24, 1840, a son of John and Fredericka Schroeder. Mr. Schroeder's parents were natives of the fatherland, and in 1853 left the old country for the United States in a little sailing vessel which took seven weeks to make the journey to New York city, from which point the family journeyed to Chicago by train, and in April of the year following moved on to Two Rivers. For a short time the father and two of the sons were engaged in work in the sawmill at that point, but eventually moved to section 29, town of Mishicot, where they took up wild land and engaged in farming. Here Mr. Schroeder's parents died, firm in thc belief of the Lutheran church. They had the following children: John L., a prominent retired farmer of the town of Mishicot; Fredericka, who married Fred Christoff of Mishicot; Joachim; Fred, a farmer of Kewaunee county and a veteran of the Civil war; Minnie, wife of 0. Price, of Centerville; Sophia, who married Christ Arndt, of Two Rivers; Charles, engaged in farming on the old homestead; and Christian, who died young. Joachim Schroeder was educated in Germany and was thirteen years of age when he came to the United States with his parents. He was reared to the life of an agriculturist, and worked on the home farm until his enlistment, August 21, 1862, in Company D, Twenty-seventh Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, with which he served until receiving his honorable discharge, August 21, 1865, after a brave and meritorious service. Returning home he continued on the home place for some time and then purchased the farm where his widow and children now reside. General farming occupied his attention during the remainder of his life and he became one of the prominent agriculturists and highly respected citizens of the town of Mishicot. He was a faithful member of the Lutheran church. Mr. Schroeder was married to Mary Voelcker, and there were three children born to this union: Henry and Mary, of Kewaunee; and Minnie, residing in Milwaukee. After the demise of his first wife, on October 22, 1871, Mr. Schroeder was married to Miss Louisa Ahrndt, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a daughter of Fred and Christina (Bong) Ahrndt, natives of Germany who came to the United States in 1854 and settled in Manitowoc, where the father died at the age of seventy-five years, his widow surviving him for some time and passing away in Two Rivers at the age of ninety-two. They had four children: Christ, living in Two Rivers; Charles, a resident of Nebraska; Louisa, who became Mrs. Joachim Schroeder; and Rickie, of Two Rivers. By his second union, Joachim Schroeder had the following children: Christina, who married August Demsien, of Two Rivers; William, who is engaged in farming in the town of Two Creeks; Louis, of Manitowoc; Herman, residing in Two Rivers; and Lizzie and Ernst, at home. Joachim Schroeder
JOHN L. SCHROEDER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.250-251. John L. Schroeder, who is now living retired after a long and successful career as an agriculturist, has been a resident of the town of Mishicot for more than forty-five years, and is the owner of a highly cultivated farm of one hundred acres on sections 31 and 32. Mr. Schroeder is a native of Germany, having been born in Mecklenburg, April 9, 1835, a son of John and Fredericka Schroeder, who left the fatherland in 1853 with their eight children, as follows: John L.; Fredericka, who married Fred Christoff, of Mishicot; Joachim, deceased, who was a farmer of the town of Mishicot and a veteran of the Civil war, in which he served for three years; Fred, engaged in farming in Kewaunee county, who was also in the Union army for three years; Minnie, who married 0. Price, of Centerville, Wisconsin; Sophia, who married Christ Arndt, of Two Rivers; Charles, who is engaged in farming on the old family homestead in Mishicot; and Christian, who died young. Embarking in a small sailing vessel, the little party of emigrants spent seven weeks on the ocean, and after a rough voyage landed at New York city, from whence they came west by train to Chicago, where they remained during the winter. In April, 1854, they resumed their journey, taking a boat to Two Rivers, Wisconsin, where the father and two sons commenced working in the sawmill. Later they secured land on section 29, Mishicot township, which was all covered with heavy timber, and during the severe winter that followed these sturdy pioneers suffered greatly from the cold, the rude little log cabin affording but scant shelter from the elements. However, all were of the robust type for which the citizens of the fatherland are well known, and they continued to live on the land, clearing the timber and breaking the ground for crops, and finally put it into an excellent state of cultivation. This property remained the homestead of the parents during the rest of their lives. They were faithful members of the Lutheran church of Mishicot. John L. Schroeder received his education in the common schools of his native land and remained at home with his parents until he was eighteen years of age. He married in 1858 and in 1861 moved to the town of Two Creeks, where he resided for four years, and then came to his present farm, at that time a tract of sixty acres of wild land, to which he later added forty acres. He was engaged in clearing and cultivating this property until 1899 and in that year retired from active pursuits, although he is still living on the homestead. On June 12, 1858, he was married to Johannah Goldenstaedt, of Holstein, Germany, daughter of August and Margaret Goldenstaedt. Mrs. Schroeder's father, who was a carpenter by trade, brought his family to the United States in 1854, and located in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, later securing wild land which he cleared. His wife passed away on this farm, but during the last eighteen years of his life, Mr. Goldenstaedt resided with Mr. Schroeder. They were the parents of two children: Johannah and Fredericka, the latter of Manitowoc. Eight children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder: Henry, foreman of a factory in Two Rivers; John, the owner of a large farm near Sanborn, Iowa; August, residing in Manitowoc: William, a carpenter of Two Rivers; Emma and Ida, who reside in California: Richard, the owner of his father's old farm, who married Sophia Landt; and Ferdinand, who is chief of police of Two Rivers. Mr. Schroeder has been successful in his operations, is widely and favorably known throughout this section, and is a stanch democrat and a faithful member of the Lutheran church.

SCHROEDER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.25-26. One of the well known and highly successful business men of Two Rivers, interested as a partner in the large general mercantile store that is conducted under the firm style of the Schroeder Brothers Company. Joseph S. Schroeder possesses the essential qualities of a prosperous business career, being energetic, determined, persevering and reliable. He is secretary of the commercial concern with which he is connected and figures in financial circles as the vice president of the Two Rivers Savings Bank. The old homestead farm in Two Creeks township, Manitowoc county, on which his parents, Peter Joseph and Angeline (Rollinger) Schroeder, settled at the time of their marriage, was his birthplace, his natal day being April 12, 1862. At the usual age he entered the public schools and further continued his education as a student in a commercial college. In early manhood he engaged in the fishing business and afterward spent two years in the life-saving service at Chicago. He then returned to Wisconsin and passed eight or ten winter seasons in the lumber woods of the Lake Superior region. He next entered the business that had been founded by his brother, Peter Schroeder, and is now secretary of the company. He likewise became a factor in the management and control of the Two Rivers Savings Bank, of which he is vice president. He found ready solution for intricate business problems and his energy has been a dominant factor in the growth of the business concerns with which he is identified. In 1890 Mr. Schroeder was married to Miss Mary Ann Short, a native of Two Rivers, who died May 8, 1898, leaving a daughter, Helen. In 1900 Mr. Schroeder wedded Isabella Wolf, a daughter of Frank Wolf, of Two Rivers, and they have become parents of six children, Cornelius, Hilary, Claude, Horace, Margaretta and Gregory. Mr. Schroeder votes with the democratic party and while he has never been a politician in the usually accepted sense he has filled the position of police judge and justice of the peace, in both of which his decisions have been strictly fair and impartial. While his business interests have made heavy demands upon his time and energies he has always found opportunity to aid in matters relating to the welfare and upbuilding of his community. PETER SCHROEDER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.188-189. Prominent among the energetic, enterprising and far-sighted business men of Manitowoc county is numbered Peter Schroeder, who is connected with various important corporate interests representing leading features in the industrial and financial development of this part of the state. He is perhaps best known as the president of the Schroeder Brothers Company and is cashier of the Two Rivers Savings Bank, He was born in Two Creeks township, Manitowoc county, his parents being Peter Joseph and Angeline (Rollinger) Schroeder, of whom mention is made elsewhere in this volume. No event of special importance occurred to vary the routine of farm life for him in his youthful days. He remained with his father until he considered it time to start out in business on his own account, when he secured employment in a general store in Manitowoc, in which he remained for three years, He then started out in business for himself in Two Rivers in 1891 and the enterprise which he thus established constituted the nucleus of the large mercantile concern now conducted under the name of Schroeder Brothers Company. With the passing years his activities have been extended and are today of wide scope for he is a director of the Two Rivers Knitting Mills, a stockholder in the Two Rivers Improvement Company and also of the Two Rivers Coal Company, while of the Two Rivers Savings Bank he is cashier. Of the last named institution he became one of the organizers in association with his father and brother. Progressiveness is featured in all of his plans and his energy and determination constitute effective forces for success. Mr. Schroeder is a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and his political allegiance is given to the democratic party. For eight years he has served as mayor of Two Rivers and for four years was a member of the county board of supervisors, discharging his official duties in both connections in a manner most creditable and satisfactory to the public. As the chief municipal officer he gave to his city a businesslike administration, avoiding useless expenditure yet holding himself free from parsimony. Avoiding each extreme he held to a central course which promoted progress and achievement, making his work as effective for good government in Two Rivers as his labors have been in the attainment of business success. PETER JOSEPH SCHROEDER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.190-193. Peter Joseph Schroeder, living retired in Two Rivers, is one of the venerable pioneers of Manitowoc county and although he is now eighty-one years of age, he is still deeply interested in business affairs and questions of the day, and is the president of the Two Rivers Savings Bank. His activities have covered a wide scope and have ever been of a character that have contributed to public progress as well as to individual success. Born in Koblenz, Germany, on the 15th of December, 1831, he is a son of John and Catherine (Graef) Schroeder, who spent their entire lives in the fatherland where both passed away a number of years ago. In the public schools of Germany Peter Joseph Schroeder pursued his education and afterward learned the blacksmith's trade in that country. He was a young man of twenty-five years when he emigrated to the United States, first settling in Chicago where he followed his trade in connection with the car shops of that city. In October, 1857, he became a resident of Two Creeks township, Manitowoc county, and was the first blacksmith in that section. He continued to follow his trade until after his marriage, which occurred in 1859, Miss Angeline Rollinger becoming his wife. The wedding ceremony was performed in Two Rivers, to which place the young couple walked. Mrs. Schroeder was born in Luxemburg, Germany, June 22, 1838, and is a daughter of Peter and Maria (Graff) Rollinger, who came to the United States in 1856 and settled in Two Creeks township, Manitowoc county. They were seven weeks on the water and while en route lost one of their three children, while after their arrival they buried a son, so that Mrs. Schroeder is now the only surviving member of the family. At the time of his marriage Mr. Schroeder purchased land in Two Creeks township and was successfully engaged in agricultural pursuits until his retirement in 1902, when he became a resident of Two Rivers. He brought his fields under a high state of cultivation, introduced the most modern improvements and by the careful management of his farming interests won success that enabled him to branch out in other lines of business. He was joined by his two sons in the organization of the Two Rivers Savings Bank which was capitalized for twenty-five thousand dollars and which has a surplus of nineteen thousand dollars. From the beginning Mr. Schroeder has served as its president and still remains at the head of this institution. The years have established his right to rank with the prominent and progressive citizens of this section, for in his life he has displayed the sterling characteristics of the German race together with the adaptability that has enabled him to improve the conditions and opportunities which he found in the new world. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder have been born eight children: Catherine, who is the wife of Peter Beth; Mary, who has entered a convent; Theresa, who resides in Two Rivers; Frances, who was lost with the ill-fated steamer Columbia; and Peter, Joseph, John and Frank, all of whom are members of the firm of Schroeder Brothers. In former years Peter Joseph Schroeder was a prominent democrat in his locality and for ten years served as treasurer of his township. He was also school treasurer during the entire period that he lived in that section and his aid and cooperation could and can always be counted upon for any progressive and beneficial public movement. He is nearing the eighty-first milestone on life's journey and the snows of many winters have whitened his hair, yet in spirit and interest he seems a much younger man: Old age need not suggest, as a matter of course, helplessness or want of occupation. There is an old age which grows stronger and brighter as the years go by and gives of its rich store of wisdom and experience for the benefit of others, and such is the record of Peter J. Schroeder, one of the most prominent and honored of the German American citizens of Manitowoc county. Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Schroeder
WILLIAM G. SCHROEDER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.184-185. William G. Schroeder, who is superintendent of the carpentry department of the Goodrich Company, having charge of the boats lying in dock, was born in Manitowoc on the 19th of May, 1865. He is a son of Ernest and Frederica Schroeder, the former of whom came from Germany to Manitowoc in 1864. Until his retirement a few years ago he followed the carpenter's and shipbuilder's trade in this city. Mr. Schroeder received his education in the Third Ward school, but because of a strong desire to gain a position in the industrial world he left school at the age of fourteen. At first he was employed in learning the wagon maker's trade, at which he worked for eight years. Subsequently he accepted a position with Berger & Berger, contractors. He remained in their employ until 1893 and during that time was engaged in shipbuilding and general contracting work in the residential section of the city. After leaving their employ he was made foreman of the Goodrich Company in Chicago, a position which he held until he was appointed superintendent of the Manitowoc Goodrich shipyards, in which capacity he is now serving. He has bent every energy to the task of thoroughly familiarizing himself with this business, and he is now one of the most valuable employes of the Goodrich Company. Mr. Schroeder was married in Manitowoc on the 22d of September, 1888, to Miss Frederica Franke, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Franke. The father was one of the first carpenters of this city. To Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder three children have been born: Hilda, who died in 1894 and is buried in the Evergreen cemetery; Walter, who is a student at the University of Wisconsin; and Harvey, a machinist, who is employed by the Illinois Steel Company. The family reside at 1814 Clark street in the house which Mr. Schroeder erected in 1894. In politics Mr. Schroeder gives his support to the republican party and has served as alderman of the fifth ward. He holds membership in the Royal League. The docks of Manitowoc form one of the important industries of the city, and among the men who have displayed notable ability and initiative spirit in the conduct of these business enterprises Mr. Schroeder stands prominent.

CHARLES SCHROETER This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.446-447. Charles Schroeter, who is well known in the city of Manitowoc and has been successfully engaged in the bakery business, is now living retired in this city. He was born in Newton township, this county, September 17, 1858, his parents being William and Frederica (Wernecke) Schroeter, both of whom were natives of Saxony, Germany. The father came to this country, arriving in Sheborgan county, July 4, 1848. He later removed to Manitowoc county, where he was married May 4, 1851. Both he and his wife lived to celebrate their golden wedding, the former passing away on January 6, 1906, and the latter on September 27, 1901. All his life he followed the occupation of farming and owned one hundred and twenty acres of land in Newton township, on which he carried on general farming. He was a member of the German Lutheran church and was always greatly interested in education, serving as treasurer of the school board for fifteen years. In his family were five children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the youngest. Charles Schroeter was educated in the common schools of Newton township and after leaving school learned the trade of baker. In 1883 he started a baker shop on Jay street, where he continued until 1906, when he transferred his business to his son and is now living retired. He has been successful financially and has an excellent home and a good income. On the 7th of June, 1883, Mr. Schroeter wedded Miss Louise Wernecke, a daughter of William and Mary (Meyer) Wernecke, both of whom were natives of Germany and came to this country in 1848, locating in Manitowoc, where the father engaged in the bakery business. They remained in this work until the subject of this sketch purchased their shop and the same is now owned by their grandson. Mrs. Wernecke now lives in Newton but her husband passed away September 17, 1892, at the age of sixty-six years, in the city of Manitowoc. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeter have been born two children: Elmer W., who now has charge of the baker shop formerly owned by his father; and Irene, at home. The son, Elmer W. Schroeter, married Miss Mary Lemkuhl, a daughter of Henry and Bertha (Eberhardt) Lemkuhl. The parents are both of German descent but were born in this county, the date of the father's birth being in 1854. He is engaged in farming in Newton township, this county. In his political views Charles Schroeter is a republican, as is his son, Elmer W., and both he and his family are earnest and faithful members of the German Methodist Episcopal church. In an analyzation of the character and life work of Mr. Schroeter we note many of the characteristics of his worthy German ancestors—perseverance, reliability, energy, and an unconquerable determination to pursue a course that has been marked out. It is these sterling qualities that have gained for Mr. Schroeter his success in the bakery business and have made him one of the substantial and valued citizens ot Manitowoc. He now resides in his beautiful home in this city and is enjoying the fruits of a well spent life.

The DoL budget contains funding for veterans' programs under the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS). S. 1284 would provide a total of $300.5 million for VETS programs, an increase of $36.6 million above current year funding amounts. The major VETS accounts will be funded as follows:
$203.1 million for the Jobs for Veterans State Grants program, which is responsible for funding Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program (DVOP) representatives and Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVERs) in each state;
$41.8 million for federal administration costs;
$38.2 million for programs of the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program;
$14 million for the Transition Assistance Program; and
$3.4 million for the National Veterans' Service Training Institute, which is responsible for funding the state DVOPs and LVERs.
The House Appropriations Committee has not yet developed a companion measure to S. 1284.
Homeland security. On July 18, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved its version of H.R. 2217, the FY 2014 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending measure. The House passed the original legislation on June 6. The House bill would set DHS spending at $38.9 billion, a decrease of $618 million over last year's totals and $35 million less than the President Barack Obama's request. The Senate measure would allocate $44.9 billion for DHS programs. Funding for programs of interest to The American Legion under these bills include:
$12.4 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the Senate bill; $12.7 billion in the House bill.
$10.1 billion for the U.S. Coast Guard in the Senate bill; $9.7 billion in the House bill.
$7.3 billion for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in the Senate bill; $7.2 billion in the House bill.
$5.1 billion for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Senate bill; $5.4 billion in the House bill.
$1.6 billion for the U.S. Secret Service in both bills.
$1.5 billion for state and local grant programs for "first responders" in both bills.
$821 million for U.S. Air Marshals (included under TSA) in both bills.
$259 million for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in both bills.

AFI Fest 2014: Villa Touma (Suha Arraf)
Day Five: Suha Arraf's Villa Touma (2014)
In the spirit of recent posts at Krell Laboratories ("Rethinking the American Canon") and Girls Do Film ("A Realisation…and a New Year Resolution") on the paucity of work by women directors, and in the less lofty spirit of just getting my sh*t together already, this post is on the last AFI Festival film I saw (you know, last November), written and directed by a Palestinian woman. Each blog writer noticed she hadn't posted much about films directed by women and made a commitment to seek out, and post about, more such films. Brava, I say. And, me too, I also say. In the thus-far short list of directors about whom I've written there is nary a woman to be seen. Shameful.
Both Krell Labs and Girls Do Film are engaging, well-written film blogs (Krell Labs even has a quotation from Samuel Johnson!), each covering very different territory from the other. I suggest you scoot over to at least one of them now and promise to peruse the other later. I'll wait here.
Alrighty. As Louis CK said about an entirely different activity, "Here we go!"
The Past in the Present
The final film I saw at the AFI Fest was director Suha Arraf's Villa Touma. It is a quiet film, in comparison to some of the others I saw, but no less absorbing. There are almost no men to speak of. (That's not why I liked it so much. … Okay, maybe that's not the only reason I liked it so much.) Most of the film stays inside a villa belonging to what's left of the Touma family, in the Palestinian city of Ramallah. The Toumas are an old Christian family—Ramallah used to be largely Christian, and they now comprise a significant minority there. One of the neat things about Villa Touma is that the "now" of the film isn't entirely clear. At first, it looks like the 60s or maybe the 70s. When the film eventually moves from the house to the city, it becomes clear that it's much later than that, sometime close to now (2014), but probably not right now (2000-something).
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, the Touma family has been whittled down to three unmarried sisters, used to being respectable and upper class but now running out of money. None of them works, and being aristocratically respectable seems to mean that, as women of a certain age and background, the sisters remain decorously cut off from social life. That's certainly what it means to the eldest sister, the implacable, imperious Juliette (Nisreen Faour), and what Juliette says, goes.
Another of the sisters, Violet (Ula Tabari), was married, but so briefly it doesn't appear the relationship was even consummated. Given that her arranged marriage was to a much older man (who inconveniently died almost immediately), Violet doesn't miss her husband so much as she misses the status accorded a married woman. She keeps her wedding dress hung over the only mirror in her bedroom, looking at the dress rather than at herself in the mirror. The dress keeps her from facing the passage of time. But her refusal to acknowledge her reflection is also a denial of herself as a person whose life has changed since her wedding day. That dress is one of the many signs that, for Violet and her sisters, Juliette and Antoinette (Cherin Dabis), time stopped somewhere in the late 60s, when they each lost so much.
The Women of Villa Touma
The present comes to stay in the form of the sisters' niece, Badia (Maria Zreik) the daughter of the brother they loved…until he married a Muslim woman, shaming the family. Eighteen-year-old Badia has grown up in an orphanage. When the sisters agree to take her in, she is nervous about living among strangers, especially strangers who have as many unspoken rules as her aunt Juliette does. The list includes a refusal to discuss either of Badia's parents.
Juliette figures they can marry Badia off quickly, after outfitting her with the appropriate training—a little piano, a little French, what folks used to call comportment—and some clothes "reflecting her status." Juliette is determined to reestablish the family's good name (and perhaps to bring a fellow with some money into the fold). The predictable clash between an unhappy, mothballed past and a freer but equally perilous present ensues. Watching it take place, though, I was fascinated.
Thankfully, what doesn't happen is a series of amusing-yet-poignant episodes in which vibrant youth helps its crotchety and staid elders catch up to the present and re-learn how to enjoy life. Instead, all four women have real, intense personalities.
Unlike characters in a mainstream Hollywood film (especially female characters), these women have not been diluted into kinder, gentler characters by the end of the story. They change, yes, but there are no grand epiphanies at Villa Touma. The sisters, or at least Juliette and so Violet and Antoinette by default, remain bound to some traditional ideas about what sort of behavior is acceptable for women, especially unmarried, aristocratic women.
And so, the ending the audience wants for these women doesn't come to pass, at least not all of it. It is sad in a very real way, without being terribly depressing. One does not leave the theater (or couch) feeling like the world is an awful place and human beings a plague upon it. Neither would I call the film "a darkly comic fable" as the NY Times did, but it has many moments of humor.
Time and Visual Space
Rather, Villa Touma is a film that offers its audience the time and visual space not just to appreciate each actress's performance but to notice those performances in ways we often can't in "bigger" films—films in which there's more plot to get through, or expensive effects or locations by which we need to be impressed. The soundtrack in this film is often simply ambient noise—and Villa Touma, as you might expect, is a pretty quiet place.
The space of the house is shot in ways that invite you to notice how dated the tasteful decor is, and how the sisters move through the house as if parts of it are somehow off-limits, already wrapped up and packed away. The characters interact with the space in ways that are both graceful and telling, and the women are often arranged in forms that suggest the embrace of a tradition both nurturing and stifling.
Some of this blocking is repeated over the course of the film, sometimes with the same shot set-up, sometimes from different perspectives. The ritual of eating meals and taking tea together is perhaps the most important of these; it provides the audience with a subtle calibration of the shifting ground under the Touma women's feet.
State-less Film
Suha Arraf and Cherin Dabis, the writer, director, and now actress who plays Antoinette, the youngest of the sisters, were present at the AFI screening in November. One of the topics Arraf discussed is the dispute between herself and various Israeli state agencies over what nationality the film is given when presented at festivals. Arraf insists the film is Palestinian, but the Israeli economy minister, the Israeli Film Fund, and the Israel State Lottery beg to differ.
They are demanding that Arraf return what amounts to something over half a million dollars to these various institutions that provided funding for the film. It looks like there hasn't been a resolution yet, unless it just hasn't been reported. Villa Touma premiered at the 2014 Venice Film Festival as Palestinian. According to The Hollywood Reporter, at screenings in Toronto and London, the film remained nation-less.
From the admittedly little I know about the situation, it seems petty for the various funding institutions to demand their money back. It's not like Villa Touma is the next Gone with the Wind; I suspect most of that money is simply gone. And, more to the point, presumably Arraf was given the funding based on some description of the story, if not an actual script. If that is the case, these funders knew the characters were Palestinians, were speaking Arabic, that it would be a "Palestinian story." What, other than political points, is to be gained by labeling the film Israeli? There's an interview with Arraf about the film here. And an earlier NY Times story here.
The Hollywood Reporter, by the way, described the film as stodgy and the performances as wooden, noting that festival audiences are more likely to be "generous" in their assessments. I can't agree with any of those statements—slow and deliberate is not necessarily stodgy, the performances were vibrating with life, and festival audiences are often snootier than the snootiest professional critic. (Sometimes you just want to punch the two dudes standing in line in front of you at festival screenings, those guys who are loudly making it clear they really appreciated, on an intellectual level, the most broadly offensive film at the festival. Or who are busy dissing the most controversial film there as bourgeois. They're almost always dudes, and they're always in front of you because they got there first, the longer to stand in a line that advertises how ahead of the curve they are.)
Villa Touma is still on the festival circuit and scheduled to be at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival at the end of this month (January 2015). This is Arraf's first fiction feature, but her other screenwriting credits, "Lemon Tree" (2008) and "The Syrian Bride" (2004), are both available on disc via Netflix, and Lemon Tree is available for rent on Amazon Prime. There are clips of both on Hulu+.

Muhammad Guilty on All Counts
Tuesday, November 18, 2003
John Allen Muhammad was convicted Monday of masterminding the terrifying sniper attacks that gripped the Washington region last fall and now faces a possible death sentence.
Jurors deliberated for 6 1/2 hours over two days before reaching their verdicts just after 11:30 a.m., finding Muhammad guilty of two counts of capital murder in the death of Dean H. Meyers in Prince William County. He also was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and of a firearms violation.
Prosecutors began presenting evidence in the penalty phase of the trial, arguing to the same jurors that the crimes were wantonly vile and that Muhammad poses a future danger to society -- claims that could result in a lethal injection.
Muhammad, who has shown very little emotion throughout his month-long trial, stood at attention as a clerk read the guilty verdicts at 11:57 a.m.
Two jurors wept as they were polled. One juror had trouble managing a weak "yes" as she appeared to struggle with her emotions. That juror, a 31-year-old bartender, has appeared emotional several times, weeping while listening to powerful 911 recordings and recoiling from bloody crime scene photographs. Other jurors looked to their left, where the relatives of Muhammad's victims sat together, some shedding tears quietly.
Muhammad's attorneys stood solemnly as their client was led out of the courtroom. Relatives of several sniper victims embraced in the gallery, and Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul B. Ebert stopped to hug victim Linda Franklin's daughter, Katrina Hannum. Prosecutors and defense attorneys declined to comment on the verdict because the sentencing phase is in progress.
The defense team now turns to trying to save Muhammad's life. They told the jury they plan to show that Muhammad still has "worth and value." Prosecutors, on the other hand, have begun to characterize Muhammad as a plotting killer with a "callous disregard for human life," as they push the idea that a custody dispute with his ex-wife, Mildred, led him to commit multiple killings.
Sources said Mildred Muhammad is expected to arrive at the Virginia Beach courthouse Tuesday and is likely to take the stand by the end of the day. It would be the first encounter between the two since she won custody of their three children in September 2001 -- an event that witnesses said changed and enraged John Muhammad. Witnesses also testified during the trial that he was trying to pinpoint her location in the Washington area just before the attacks began.
Although the jury's decision brought an end to more than a year of legal strife, it did not begin to address the issue of why Muhammad indiscriminately shot innocent people, allegedly with the help of a teenage accomplice. Lee Boyd Malvo, 18, is on trial on identical charges in neighboring Chesapeake, and his attorneys have acknowledged that he was part of the sniper team.
Muhammad, 42, became the first person to be convicted under Virginia's anti-terrorism law, which was enacted after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The law was written for terror masterminds such as Osama bin Laden, and its application to Muhammad is sure to become a point of appeal.
The verdicts indicate that jurors accepted both prosecution theories about the Oct. 9, 2002, slaying of Meyers, 53, at a Sunoco gas station north of Manassas. Jurors found that Meyers was killed as part of a terror plot and that he was one of at least two people whom Muhammad killed within three years. Although jurors did not have to specify what other slayings they believed Muhammad committed, evidence presented at his trial linked Meyers's death to the Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle used in 16 shootings that killed 10 people.
The Bushmaster was found when Muhammad and Malvo were arrested in an aging blue Chevrolet Caprice, which was modified into a "killing machine," prosecutors said.

No charges over florist raid death
A florist will face no criminal charges after a suspected robber was stabbed to death during a bungled raid at his shop.
Cecil Coley, 72, was arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of Gary Mullings, 30, who was reported to have broken into his shop in Old Trafford, Manchester, on the evening of July 26.
Mr Coley was due to answer police bail later this week but was told by the Crown Prosecution Service that no further action would be taken against him.
Mullings, from New Moston, Manchester, was taken to hospital but died a short time later.
Mr Coley has run the shop premises in Shrewsbury Street for more than 40 years and was described by customers as "a very nice and lovely man". He was injured during the break-in and needed hospital treatment before he was questioned by police.
Three men have been charged with robbery of the shop. Mullings's brothers Joseph, 24, of Oakfield, Liverpool, and Kyle, 18, of no fixed address, along with Nathan Walters, 26, of Thorn Court, Salford, are all due to reappear in court next month.
In a statement, the CPS said: "The Crown Prosecution Service has decided that no charges should be brought against 72-year-old Cecil Coley who stabbed to death an intruder who forced his way into his family's florist shop in Old Trafford in July 2011.
"The CPS has also concluded that he should not face any charges for injuring a second man who was stabbed in the incident."
Nafir Afzal, chief crown prosecutor for the North West, said: "It is difficult to envisage a more frightening set of circumstances than these. Four men, armed with guns and a knife, forced their way into the shop as Mr Coley was locking up.
"It is clear from the evidence I have seen that Mr Coley was acting in reasonable self defence, and used the degree of force that he believed was necessary when he fatally stabbed Gary Mullings and injured another of the intruders. I am therefore satisfied that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute Mr Coley for the stabbings."

Neil Robertson hopes his new practice regime will help put him among the game's all-time greats after storming into the second round of the Betfred World Championship.
The 2010 champion rattled in an opening break of 133 as he reeled off the three frames required to turn a 7-2 lead into a 10-2 victory over Welshman Jamie Jones in Sheffield.
Robertson has committed more hours to the game than ever before and he believes it will help him finally fulfil his potential and become a multiple winner of the sport's major crowns.
"I have put in more hours for this tournament than any other in my whole career," the 33-year-old Australian said.
"Before I played my first-round match I potted 300 balls without missing – that's the stuff (Stephen) Hendry used to do.
"Hendry used to not miss for six or seven frames, and that's what you have to do if you want to dominate matches.
"If you were to stop my career and look back, I would definitely have a feeling of 'what if I had practised more?'. I think I could do more so I've left no stone unturned coming into this tournament. It would be harsh to say I have under-achieved, but I think I could have won a lot more if I'd sacrificed a little bit more."
Barry Hawkins found himself the reluctant star of another Crucible epic after clinging on to beat qualifier Matthew Selt in a final-frame decider.
The 2013 finalist looked set to ease through to the last 16 after resuming yesterday with a 7-2 overnight lead which he extended to 9-4 to move within one frame of victory.
But Selt responded by reeling off five frames in a row – including back-to-back centuries – before a cool clearance from Hawkins saw him into the second round with a 10-9 win.
Sheffield-based Ding Junhui's dismal record at the Crucible looked set to continue as he lost the first four frames of his first-round match against veteran Mark Davis.
The world No 3 looked distinctly out of sorts in the early stages, but clawed his way back to reduce the deficit to 4-3 ahead of today's resumption.

/ Case Results/ Man Seriously Injured In Large Truck Accident
August 19, 2013 Auto Accidents Social Share
Our client was traveling to Kentucky to pick up his wife who was visiting family. Upon approaching a flashing light intersection in which he had the right of way, a large truck which was waiting at the median to cross the highway suddenly pulled out in front of him. In attempting to avoid being trapped under the box section of the truck, he swerved and collided with the front tire of the truck instead. This caused multiple severe fractures in his left arm and left leg as well as other significant injuries. He was transferred to an Indianapolis hospital for operative treatment of his multiple injuries and later underwent bilateral total knee replacement surgery. Eventually, he was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital for physical therapy but continued to have pain and swelling issues which required several follow-up surgeries. He continues to experience symptoms associated with the accident, including swelling in his right foot that forces him to keep his leg elevated above his heart for several hours a day.
He ultimately sustained permanent injuries which prevented him from continuing his job at an oil refinery as a project manager and site lead. Wilson Kehoe Winingham clearly and thoroughly demonstrated the extent of our client's permanent injuries as well as his substantial loss of income and was successful in obtaining a settlement before trial.
This case is just one example of how our accident lawyers have advocated and won on the behalf of our clients. If you find yourself in a similar situation following an accident or tragic circumstance, let our lawyers work to help you receive what you deserve.

Davis Cup hero Dan Evans handed wild card for Queen's Club
Great Britain Davis Cup hero Dan Evans has earned a wild card into the AEGON Championships at Queen's Club next week.
Last Updated: 06/06/13 4:53pm
The 23-year-old won the deciding rubber in the shock win over Russia in April and secured another coup on Wednesday with the scalp of American Ryan Harrison at the AEGON Trophy in Nottingham.
Evans has been criticised in the past for his attitude and admitted himself during the David Cup he has not always been completely dedicated to tennis.
The Solihull-based player's ranking of 299 is arguably well below what he is capable of but Davis Cup captain and Lawn Tennis Association head of men's tennis, Leon Smith, is pleased with his progress.
"Dan has backed up his great performance in the Davis Cup in Coventry with another win against a top-100 player at Nottingham this week," he said.
"His form is good, and his focus is on making the most of the opportunity he's been given here."
Evans' Davis Cup team-mate James Ward has already secured a wild card for the pre-Wimbledon tournament, which is headed by two-time champion Andy Murray.

What role does Jesmond play in the national economy?
Economic equality across the country is a hot topic nowadays. Yesterday the BBC asked whether London is holding back the regions' economic growth, and the regions holding back London. Earlier this month the Office for National Statistics (ONS) released its regional economic indicators, a high level overview of how each region is performing economically compared to the rest of Britain.
JesmondLocal has ploughed through the data to present you with a regional snapshot, showing that economically to the year 2011, the north east was one of the weakest economic contributors to the UK economy. Our interactive infographic below explains why.
There is some good news couched in the data, however. Green shoots of recovery are evident, and the region is rebounding faster than most. Our contribution to the nation's economic wellbeing is growing faster than the north west, the Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the east of England regions. What's more, business is growing. In 2011, more new companies were created as a percentage of all businesses than old companies dying off.
That's how the region as a whole has contributed to the national economy, but how do you feel your area is, economically? Is Jesmond in rude health, or is it struggling to shake off the illnesses of the 2009 recession, sluggish in its adaptability? Let us know via Facebook, Twitter, email, or the comments below.

This week, we're working on independent writing! Writing gives your students/children access to "unlimited expression." Speak for Yourself has a large 5000 word vocabulary. But as many of you know, we forgot some words. As many of you also know, there is a QWERTY button in the bottom right hand corner, no matter where you are in the app. (This can be locked for the little ones who pop the keyboard up and down or who hit it accidentally and are frustrated when they can't get out of it.) We knew we would forget some words because words are infinite. It's important for individuals using AAC to be able to access that infinite amount of language. They need to be able to say a word, even if it's not programmed. Writing provides the key.
It sounds so easy, right? If you're reading this as you're administering a tube feed or suctioning a tracheostomy, you might be thinking, "Oh sure, Heidi, I'll just add 'teach my child to write' to my to-do list for tomorrow." Even in my presuming-competence, most-idealistic scenario, that's not going to happen. However, there are some things that you CAN do tomorrow to put your child on that path.
Let's Get Ready
Before you put a pencil in the child's hand and tell him to write, there are a few things to prepare. Here are the independent writing planning steps from the Project Core presentation:
- ALL students have an individual communication system that meets their access needs. This is a first step for all of the emergent literacy activities.
- All students have an appropriate pencil. This may not be a "pencil" in the traditional sense of the word. If young students are able to hold a pencil in their hand, even if they're not yet forming letters, I give them an actual pencil and paper. Whether they are able to physically write letters or not, I give them a chance to type. We all type with the technology constantly in our hands. If you're not sure or your child is not physically able to access a pencil or keyboard, this free module from Dynamic Learning Maps may give you some ideas.
- Prepare a variety of topic choices. Hint: Choose things the person likes!
- Determine an accessible format to present topic choices. Use pictures, actual objects, or a written list read out loud to the student.
Here's the self-evaluation form from the Project Core website for Independent Writing:
Real-Life Example
Planning: I tried this with a 4-year-old who loves paper and pencils. So I had colored pencils, but I also had a separate iPad with her Speak for Yourself vocabulary with the keyboard showing. She has not been using the keyboard on her device because she accidentally pops it up and then gets frustrated that it's there. (This is also why I chose to use a separate iPad for the typing part.)
Choosing a topic: I presented several pictures of favorite items and activities. I also pointed to objects in the room that she enjoys, and told her she could choose any of them. She pointed to a horse head on a stick. She stood up and wanted to "ride" it, so she did. We "galloped" (which was actually fast walking), we neighed, and we laughed.
She leaned the horse against the wall and the heavy head fell next to her foot. I said, "Did you see that!? She tried to eat your foot!" and pretended that the horse was eating her foot. She laughed and verbally said, "One more!" The horse ate her foot again, and we both laughed. This went on several more times, until we were both tired and ready to sit for a little while. Choosing a topic may take some time.
Talk About It!
Once you figure out the topic, encourage communication about that topic. Model language using AAC. Use open ended conversation starters and wonder out loud (Tell me about it, Hmm, what could we say about ____). Give them enough wait time and encourage anything they tell you. The idea is to do some pre-writing brainstorming using the student's AAC system. Acknowledge anything they tell you and help them by modeling some of your own ideas.
Real-Life Example:
When we sat to have a conversation, my little student used the device to say, "horse more horse," and then verbally said "funny." She verbally said "neigh" and we talked about how the horse neighed. It was a pretty short conversation as she eyed the additional iPad and paper and pencil. She asked for stamps and we used some stamps on the paper first. (You'll notice some faces and eyes stamped in the photo of her pencil writing.)
Keep in mind, this is meant to be independent writing. If the child doesn't make a single recognizable letter in her scribbles, it doesn't matter. Find a way to relate it back to the topic she chose. As the child types, say each letter.* If the child types a line of letters and you don't recognize any words, pick out a letter and relate it to something from your conversation. You're shaping the writing and making it meaningful. The goal is not perfect spelling. You are teaching the child that when she presses those letters, they go together and mean something. You're giving him a chance to scribble, in the same way you let him babble to learn his device.
*If the child is slapping his hand on the keyboard and it's jumbling all of the letters together, model keyboard use by typing the child's name, slowly and purposefully, saying each letter as you touch it.
Real-Life Example:
I said, "Okay, now we're ready to write about the horse," as I handed my little student her choice of pencils. She chose orange and wrote this:
I pointed to the part at the bottom of the scribble and said, "It looks like you made a "S" and horse ends with an "s" sound. Horsssssse." Then I said, "It looks like you also wrote.." and she interrupted and verbally said, "E." So I looked and pointed to the far right side of the "main scribble" and said, "I can see it right there!" And she said, "Eat three more." I said, "The horse eats three more?" and she held up her foot. Of course. She eats 3 more feet. ( I wrote on it afterwards so I would remember what she said.) Incredible.
I put the iPad with the keyboard in front of her and said, "Is there anything else you want to write about the horse?" The keyboard in Speak for Yourself speaks each letter as it's typed. She typed this:
I said, "Look! You typed the first letter of your name!" (and pointed to it) and she smiled. Then I said, "And you typed 'I' and a 'M' and 'O'. It looks like maybe you were typing 'more.'" She looked at it, and then said, "Done." And so we were.
Giving Feedback
The feedback that you give to the child is important. You're not "fixing" it for them or correcting what they wrote/typed. Try to avoid general praise that doesn't connect to the topic they chose (i.e "Good writing," "You typed a lot of letters."). Relate what they wrote to the topic. You want the child to feel successful so they want to try it again.
Real-Life Example:
Shortly after she said, "done," the occupational therapist arrived. My little student ran over to the horse excitedly and grabbed it. She said, "horse!" and the OT said, "I see your horse!" I said, "We were riding it." (Because that's a cool new physical skill.) The student said, "eat," and put the horse's mouth by her foot. The OT said, "Oh no! The horse eats your foot?!" And the student nodded vigorously and said, "three more." The OT said, "Okay three more times?" And the student beamed with pride. She told her story. And someone understood it out of context.

There is no fine line between being completely dedicated to your job as opposed to showing unhealthy signs of being truly addicted to work. Whether we want to admit it or not, many of us haven't been able to distinguish one from the other. The following is a guide to putting dedication vs. addiction to work into perspective for you.
Dedication in the workplace, regardless of whether you work at a place of business or at home, can occur in many forms. For example:
- You may have a project or multiple projects that need to be completed before a deadline several times a year and working towards completing them is absolutely essential to your success.
- You are passionate about your work and completely committed to making the business a success. You will do everything necessary to accomplish this.
- You care about your company's success and see your job as more than a means of earning a paycheck.
- You don't unnecessarily take days off just because you have available sick days and you certainly don't make it a habit to show up to work tardy.
These are some examples of showing dedication at work. It's rewarding and fulfilling to show loyalty and provide excellent job performance for your employer or for your own company in order to make the company successful.
Signs and Symptoms of Addiction to Work
However, here's where dedication can turn into a full-fledged work addiction:
- Ask yourself how you feel after putting in a hard day's work. If you are constantly feeling exhausted and your tiredness is consistently overshadowing your feelings of pride and accomplishment, this may be your first sign of being addicted to work.
- Is your life fairly balanced? For example, are you able to make time for and stay in shape through exercise? Are you able to maintain healthy relationships with your loved ones by spending time with them? If the answers are "no" to any of these two questions, you may be in danger of being addicted to work.
- Do you like your time off away from work? Do you look forward to savoring your successes at work by doing the things you love? Do you take the time to enjoy your hobbies? If you don't, you may want to reassess your situation and make some adjustments.
- Do you constantly bring your work home with you? A person who can't separate their work lives from their home lives rarely achieve a fulfilling life. Their existence is consumed with closing the next deal or making more money while sacrificing their personal lives.

Glass Balustrades FAQ
How can Ion Glass help with glass balustrades?
As architectural glass specialists, Ion offers a fully bespoke service ensuring each project is managed from the design stage, with technical advice, detailed CAD drawings, accurate survey and measurements, quality manufacture - including the supply of bespoke or 'off the shelf' metalwork as required - and a full installation service by our own team of experienced glass technicians.
Glass is a complex product and when specified for something as integral as a structural balustrade it is essential to get expert advice to ensure the finished glass installation not only looks sensational but is also fully functional and compliant with all current regulations.
Why install a glass balustrade?
Glass balustrades are versatile enough to suit a wide variety of property styles, from commercial or residential to churches and heritage buildings. Internal and external glass balustrades can add dimension to the interior or exterior of your building. Glass gives designers, architects and homeowners the option to create more space and allow light to flow within and around a building without obscuring the structure of the building, the interior design or the view! Glass is a timeless material which is equally at home in a new build project or a centuries old church.
Do glass balustrades require a survey?
All glass balustrades require a full survey with an Ion site surveyor to ensure the correct type of glass and fixings are specified and that the final design is fully functional and compliant.
Do glass balustrades require templating?
In most cases templating is essential to ensure the glass is a perfect fit although Ion has developed a system of accurate laser surveying that avoids the need for templating in some installations. Some channel set glass balustrades rely on pre-determined measurements and don't require templates.
Templating cannot take place until the site is ready for the glass installation as the measurements have to be wholly accurate – asking our surveyors to attend the site too early will result in additional survey costs.
Which glass thickness do you use?
Each installation is different! It depends on which glass balustrade type you are installing, whether or not it has a handrail, the size of the glass panels and where they are going to be installed. Ion will discuss and advise on the most appropriate glass thickness for your project, ensuring that the glass specified will be fully compliant.
Whichbalustrading systemdo you use?
We offer a range of bespoke glass balustrade systems including
o Bolted
o Channel set
o Clamping system
o Post and rail
o Post and clamp
o Resin set
For details on each system and which is most appropriate for your installation please click on the relevant pages of our website.
What types of decorative glass are available?
Sandblasted Glass: textured glass, etched glass and frosted glass are all classed as sandblasted glass. This provides an opaque finish, allowing light to still pass through the glass balustrades. This glass treatment can also be applied to the glass in patterns, giving scope for partial obscurity or the inclusion of your own bespoke design or logo.
Tinted Glass: blue, bronze, green and grey transparent glass can be used for subtle colour statements.
Laminated Glass: a range of bespoke interlayers can be inserted between two pieces of glass to provide unique glass balustrades, for example you could choose high colour transparent interlayers, fabric interlayers, metal interlayers, or include your own bespoke artwork, company logo or message.
Can I speak to someone for more advice?
Of course, Ion'sTechnical Teamare always on hand to answer your questions.
What sort of cost is involved with your glass balustrading – do you have a minimum charge?
All Ion glass balustrades are wholly bespoke, manufactured and installed to your individual requirements so costs are very situation specific and depend also on the type of balustrade you choose. As a general guide you should allow a minimum of £1000 per linear metre.

Critical Context
(Literary Essentials: Nonfiction Masterpieces)
Paul Metcalf is the great grandson of Herman Melville. Like his grandparent, Metcalf's scope as a writer is broad in geographical and cultural subjects. Melville's placing a tattoo-covered savage, Queequeg, in bed with Ishmael, the white American narrator of Moby Dick (1851), is comparable to Metcalf's union of South American Indians and Henry Ford. The connection of pagan and civilized poses the problem many contemporary writers have addressed: Western civilized man is adrift and alienated because he lacks meaningful symbols to order his spirit and behavior.
English writers in the twentieth century have offered various opinions on this problem. T. S. Eliot was pessimistic, sensing in The Waste Land (1922) that cultural cohesion was impossible. Ezra Pound was more optimistic, arguing that America could be saved if Confucian principles were adopted by its rulers. D. H. Lawrence searched past civilizations and advocated abandoning civilized mores and replacing them with the sensibilities of Etruscans or Mexican Indians. Other writers have offered Eastern religion as a means of rescue. The message of Patagoni seems closest to Lawrence's point of view. The white American needs to return to the symbology of Incans and Mayans and recognize that a place supersedes its inhabitants and must be listened to and, ultimately, worshiped. The Indian's art had significant dialogue with his place. He was not alienated from but embraced...

Remarkable family keeps tight grip on power in Kingdom
THE Healy-Rae family has repeatedly defied the odds in successfully forging a political dynasty in the white-hot cauldron that is Kerry politics.
Councillors Michael and Danny Healy-Rae are now heirs to an impressive political machine that has fought six Dail and local government elections -- and repeatedly outwitted the legendary Fianna Fail organisation in Kerry South.
Michael Healy-Rae is now expected to defend the Kerry South Dail seat likely to be vacated by his father, Jackie, at the next General Election.
That bid is likely to be assisted by his successful period as Mayor of Kerry in 2007/2008.
Danny Healy-Rae, a father of six, operates a pub and one of the largest plant-hire businesses in Kerry. He is expected to be one of the main campaign organisers for his brother Michael's imminent Dail bid.
Both councillors were well-tutored in the complex mix that is Kerry politics by their father.
Jackie Healy-Rae (79) ranks as one of the most remarkable politicians produced by rural Ireland over the past 25 years.
Having been denied a place on the FF ticket in 1997, he ran as an independent at the age of 66.
First elected to Kerry County Council in 1974 and a noted Kerry hurler, Jackie Healy-Rae was adamant he was entitled to a place on the FF election ticket. Initially dismissed by his rivals, the father of six stunned Kerry politics by managing to out-poll soon-to-be-appointed Justice Minister John O'Donoghue in a colourful and highly personalised campaign.
One of the legendary quotes from that election was his vow that he would "take the whip from no man" amid speculation he was about to be wooed back into the FF fold.
He was re-elected as an independent in 2002 and 2007 with his Kilgarvan-based organisation now the envy of Kerry politics. His sons, Michael and Danny, have been fixtures of the Healy-Rae political machine since the 1970s -- with Michael, in particular, cultivating a public image mirroring his father's.
With his trademark cap and unrelenting focus on 'bread-and-butter' issues for his Kerry South electorate, Jackie Healy- Rae -- a former farmer and publican -- managed to carve out an incredibly loyal support base both for himself and his sons.
But he also maintained a high national profile that has made him one of Ireland's most recognisable politicians. He also established himself as one of the most colourful politicians -- playing saxophone during one 'Late Late Show' appearance and regularly campaigning for Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann.
His son Michael has been ever present by his side since 1997. Since 2002, Jackie Healy-Rae's profile was maintained via an outspoken stance on issues that resonated strongly with his electorate, ranging from drink-driving limits to hunting bans. The issues were also endorsed by his sons.
The Healy-Raes' proudest election slogans was the vow to campaign on behalf of: "The ordinary people who eat their dinner in the middle of the day."
In recent years, the election machine has increasingly been run by Danny and Michael, who have established themselves as two of the shrewdest operators on Kerry County Council.
But the Healy-Raes are also no strangers to controversy.
Last May, Danny Healy-Rae was hospitalised after an apparent altercation following a land dispute outside Kilgarvan. The issue was sparked by a locked gate on a disputed right-of-way.

Earlier this evening, Lillian's daycare threw a little Christmas party for all the kids and parents, and there was a special guest — Santa Claus!
Okay, so technically I'm pretty sure it was actually the owner's husband (or someone) in a Santa suit. Also, I should apologize for the poor quality of the photos in this post, since I didn't have time to grab my good camera and they're all taken with my phone.
All the kids got to sit on Santa's lap, so naturally we wanted to let Lillan have a go. We didn't know how she would react, and I've seen people post pictures of babies completely freaking out at Santa Claus — for some good examples, check out this amusing article featuring ten distinct "scientific categories" of kids being scared by Santa.
Lillian ended up falling somewhere into category #4 from the list: Slip Sliding Away. This was the only blurry picture I managed to snap before she squirmed her way off his lap:
Although it didn't seem like she was actually afraid — she ended up just looking impishly up at Santa from the floor, so maybe she was just feeling squirmy and restless.
Santa was a good sport about it in any case.
All the kids got little presents from Santa afterwards, and Lilly ended up getting a pack of crayons and a miniature coloring book — fun and educational, though we should probably be extra careful that she doesn't eat the crayons or some such, haha.
Anyway, that's the story of Lillian's first time meeting Santa Claus! What about you guys — any stories of babies or kids meeting Santa Claus and reacting in interesting ways? Did you enjoy the top 10 article, or see any amusing photos or articles around the web lately? Feel free to share your stories or links in the comments!
