Essai sur la Nature du Commerce in Général (Essay on the Nature of Trade in General)
Introduction, by Henry Higgs
The Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en Général, written between 1730 and 1734, is now printed for the first time in England. It follows the French text of 1755 with all faults of grammar, spelling, accent and punctuation. The imperfections, unimportant in themselves, go far to refute the assertion of some authorities that the Essai is a traduction supposée, or, in other words, was composed in French as it stands.
The pagination of the original is indicated by italic figures within square brackets in the text to facilitate reference to quotations by other writers.
The English version, which is printed opposite the French pages, has been collated with the numerous parallel passages in Postlethwayt's Dictionary (see Appendix A); and the phrasing of the Dictionary has been adopted in many instances for the reasons stated on p. 384. The complete English translation of the Essai now offered is the first of its kind, and may be considered a bicentenary tribute to the original.
The article by Jevons, written in the first rapture of discovery, deserves in form and substance to be associated with this edition.
The concluding article corrects some of Jevons's facts, resolves some of his doubts, and adds a further contribution to our knowledge of Cantillon's life and work.
My best thanks are due to Mr and Mrs Bowes Daly for their permission to reproduce the portraits of Cantillon's wife and daughter.

Previous Editions, by Henry Higgs
(1) "Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en Général. Traduit de l'Anglois. A Londres, Chez Fletcher Gyles dans Holborn. 1755." 12mo. Half-title, blank verso, title-page, blank verso, pages 1-430 + 6 unnumbered pages of Contents.
(2) A reprint in 1756, copying the title-page and text of the first issue, but inferior in type and paper. No half-title. Title-page, blank verso, pages 3-427 + 5 unnumbered pages of Contents. 12mo.
(3) Another reprint in 1756 in Vol. III of a collection put out by Eleazar Mauvillon, father of Jakob Mauvillon the Physiocrat. Vol. I, 1754, is entitled Discours Politiques de M. Hume and is a translation of Hume's Essays by M. de M. Vols. II and III, 1756, entitled Discours Politiques, contain reprints of French works. Cantillon's Essai is the concluding portion (pp.151-434) of vol. III. The three volumes were published at Amsterdam, "chez J. Schreuder et Pierre Mortier le jeune," 12mo. This reprint follows the original very closely, repeating e.g. the error un à un on p. 35 and including the references to the missing Supplement. In a few cases the printer or the editor has felt himself obliged to improve the French. Thus, at the end of Part II, cap. 7, le véritable degré is substituted for le degré véritable, and the conclusion of the Essai, à crever la bombe, et on verroit que ce sont des opérations très dangereuses becomes à faire crever la bombe, et on verroit que ce sont des opérations dangereuses.
(4) In 1759 was published "The Analysis of Trade, Commerce, Coin, Bullion, Banks and Foreign Exchanges. Wherein the true Principles of this useful knowledge are fully but briefly laid down and explained, to give a clear Idea of their happy Consequences to Society, when well regulated. Taken chiefly from a Manuscript of a very ingenious Gentleman deceas'd, and adapted to the present Situation of our Trade and Commerce. By Philip Cantillon, Late of the City of London, Merchant. London: Printed for the Author, and Sold by Mr Lewis in Covent Garden.... MDCCLIX. [Price Five Shillings.]" This consists of title-page, blank verso, a Preface and Table of Contents paged iii-xxiv, and pp. 1-215, 8vo. See pp. 333-5, 376-8, as to this work.
(5) In 1767 an Italian translation of the Essai appeared entitled "Saggio sulla Natura del Commercio in Generale. Autore Inglese. Venezia, 1767. Nella Stamperia di Carlo Palese," 12mo. The title-page is followed by 11 unnumbered pages, pp. 1-298, and 2 unnumbered pages at the end—"Del Commercio Italiano." An Introduction dedicated "Al Signor Vicenzo Ferrari, Mercante benemerito a Cittadino di Bassano," is dated Venezia, 3 Ottobre, 1767, and signed "Vostro veto Amico F. Scottoni." The translation has been conscientiously done but is marred by some futile additions in the body of the text such as E' piu di dieci anni che l'Autore à scritto (p. 76), Bella lezione por l'Italia! (p. 83). Scottoni's introduction of 4 pages is poor stuff. He does not seem to have heard of Cantillon, and his translation is of merely bibliographical interest. He has the grace to put into italics his interpolations.
(6) In 1892 the Essai was reproduced in facsimile "so far as was possible with type not manufactured for the purpose" for Harvard University, with a prefatory note of three pages by the present Editor. It preserves the pagination and format of the original "and even typographical errors and irregularities are left unchanged."
(7) Copious extracts from the Essai, in English, were included in the works of Malachy Postlethwayt, some of them prior to 1755 (see post, pp. 383-4).
(8) A translation into English of large sections of the Essai fills pp. 247-277 of Early Economic Thought, edited by A. E. Monroe, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Economics, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. 1924, 8vo.
(9) A German translation of the Essai by Frau Hella Hayek, of Vienna, has just appeared, edited with an excellent introduction of 66 pages by her husband, Dr F. A. Hayek, who obligingly communicated to me a draft of his article. This work, R. Cantillon, Abhandlung über die Natur des Handels im allgemeinen, is published by Gustav Fischer, Jena. 1931. 8vo.

Northampton Saints, without firing on all cylinders, beat London Wasps 24-6 at Franklins Gardens on Friday evening. Fit-again England squad man Courtney Lawes was watched by international boss Stuart Lancaster. It transpired that the victory was enough to take them to top place in the table before the end of the weekend.
Over at Worcester, the Warriors fired in four tries for the second successive week, defeating London Irish 35-11. Three came in the final twelve minutes, with home coach Richard Hill believing that the win could have a season-changing effect on his side.
The game started 30 minutes late after the Irish coach was stuck in motorway traffic. Sale Sharks are at Sixways on Friday, 26th October. Signs were showing yesterday that the roadworks on the M.5 will have been completed by then, but nothing can be taken for granted! Sharks travellers: start early!
Sale Sharks put on a more combative performance at Bath, but - not for the first time this season - conceded two late tries to create a 31-10 scoreline. This leaves the Sharks marooned in twelfth with a single point. Leicester Tigers are their next visitors before Heineken Cup rugby takes centre stage.
The Tigers put paid to Exeter Chiefs, 30-8 at Welford Road on Saturday. Despite the impressive margin of victory, the Tigers scored just three tries, a hat-trick by Adam Thompstone. That's successive away reverses for the Devonians, who seemed so impregnable on the opening day at Sandy Park. Exeter head coach Rob Baxter was bemused by the lack of a decision by the TMO in the build up to Thompstone's second effort, but admitted that his side had finished second best on the day.
Tigers' chief Richard Cockerill revealed that Ben Youngs and Manu Tuilagi could return to face Sale Sharks next Friday evening.
Sunday afternoon's games were in marked contrast to each other. At the top, Harlequins hosted Saracens at The Stoop, whilst there was a battle in Oxford for mid-table dominance, with London Welsh - seekinmg a third win on the run - playing Gloucester.
Saracens fly-half Owen Farrell kicked all of his side's points as Premiership champions Harlequins suffered their first loss this season, 18-16. The game was finely balanced throughout and Danny Care's try shortly before half time gave Quins the slight advantage after Nick Evans and Owen Farrell duelled from the tee.
The kicking battle resumed after the break as the lead swung back and forth, but Evans missed four shots from the tee that cost his side dear. The result means that Northampton are the new Premiership leaders, with Quins dropping to second, while Sarries, who move back into the top four, have now played 260 minutes without scoring a try.
Gloucester edged a hard-fought tussle with London Welsh to extend their unbeaten Premiership run to four games.
Shane Monahan and Tom Savage tries, added to Freddie Burns' eight points gave Gloucester an 18-9 half-time lead.
Welsh's Gordon Ross, who kicked three penalties in the first half, repeated the feat in the second, with Franck Montanella scoring a converted try
However, Billy Twelvetrees' penalty, Shaun Knight's try and further penalties from Burns sealed the win. Final score: Welsh 25, Gloucester 31.
Looking forward, Sale Sharks face Leicester Tigers at Salford City Stadium next Friday, kick off 8.00pm. Secure your seat through the online ticket booking system.

Chicken pox or Vax??? Help!!
Ok, we selectively vaxed, but each kid has gotten fewer vaxines. So, i have a 5.5 yr old who has the pox vaccine, a 3.5 yo who has not, and a 2 yo who has not. well, i just got a call that one of the little girls at our church ( in the nursery with ydd) has chicken pox. now im torn, i never have been really hard core anti-vax, just didnt think its a good idea to pump all kinds of junk into tiny kids. but now that im facing 2 of my 3 girls getting chicken pox i dont know what to do. Id rather them get it now, than later, but i feel like they would be sick because of me. also, im 27 weeks pregnant, but i had them as a kid so im fine right? ugh. im so confused lol tell me what to do!!:headscratch:
I personally would far rather my kids get actual chicken pox than the vaccine.
Even if he gets the vaccine he may still get chicken pox. My nephew is full vaxed on schedule and got a mild case last year.
They said it was mild because of the vax but I'm not sure I buy it.
My brother got only a few spots to my cp explosion and that was long before the vax was available.
We also got whooping cough even though we were fully vaxed for it. Another "mild case" we were down for 6 months.
Sorry excuse my rant. Ds had a few hives when we went to the doctor and he thought it was cp because ds is not vaxed for it.
When I pointed out that it doesn't have the features of a cp blister he told me that they are seeing milder cases because of the vax.
I guess that wouldn't apply to my ds though since he's not :banghead:
Sorry just to add I'm not anti vax. We selectively vax. Just not that one lol
Re: Chicken pox or Vax??? Help!!
The vaccine doesn't always (from the kids I've seen, doesn't usually) prevent the contraction of the virus, but instead just makes it so the child has a less severe case than they likely would have had without the vaccine. So, I'd be thinking it's more a possibility of all of them getting it, not just the younger 2.
I wouldn't worry about them being around this other child, or contracting the virus. I would prefer if my kids would get it - unfortunately there have not been any cases of chicken pox in our town/school in the years we've been here!
None of my kids have been vaxed for it. We will be considering it in the next couple years for DD, as she is nearing preteen/teenage.
If you had it as a child yourself, there's no risk to you or the baby. :thumbsup:
I think my real concern is them not getting it until they are older. But I guess we can always vax at like 12 or something if we need to.
Sent from my droid
Re: Chicken pox or Vax??? Help!!
Re: Chicken pox or Vax??? Help!!
I wouldn't worry about it and would let them contract it naturally if possible.
Re: Chicken pox or Vax??? Help!!
Re: Chicken pox or Vax??? Help!!
Consider yourself lucky that you have the chance to expose them to the pox naturally!! I've been looking to expose my kiddos for a few years now and haven't had any luck.
Re: Chicken pox or Vax??? Help!!
I had it at 5 and loved it. I got to be out of school for a week and got pampered. I know that's probably not the perspective you're looking for though :giggle:. I plan on not vaxing for it until he's about 12 and then getting him tested for immunity. If he isn't immune I'll give him the vax.

The Legislative Ethics Commission filed a "notice of reasonable cause" Tuesday against a lawmaker for just the second time since it was created in 2007, claiming Brooklyn Assemblyman William Boyland's relationship with a hospital in his district may have violated the state's ethics law.
Boyland, a Democrat, was charged along with Sen. Carl Kruger, D-Brooklyn, in federal court in March with two counts of conspiracy and one count of money laundering in connection with the alleged scheme. The U.S. Attorney's Office claims the duo in March, saying they participated in bribes, kickbacks and influence peddling to drive state contracts to their various interests, including the Brookdale University Hospital.
The commission said Boyland "maintained a financial relationship" with the hospital "which constituted a substantial conflict of interest" for the Assemblyman.
Tuesday's charge marks the first time the commission has acted against a sitting lawmaker, and its first action since filing a similar claim against already ousted (corrected) Sen. Hiram Monseratte, alleging that the senator solicited contributions to his legal defense fund from clients and lobbyists. Monseratte was previously ejected from the Senate by his colleagues after he was convicted of a misdemeanor following a domestic violence incident.
The Legislative Ethics Commission was established in 2007 in an attempt to beef up the state's legislative ethics laws. It's headed by Sen. Andrew Lanza, R-Staten Island, and Manhattan Assemblyman Daniel O'Donnell, a Democrat.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been pushing for an ethics overhaul for the Legislature, pushing for an independent panel to oversee lawmakers while blasting the current form of "self-policing" as ineffective at stops around the state.

In this mysterious and eerie long one act, Sarah, a woman searching for her missing daughter Corry, comes upon an older woman, Cate, who appears to be confused at first, but claims to have seen the girl carried off in a black car as she walked by the road between the woods and the lake. As Sarah continues to try and find the truth, we see Corry, in a dark old house, where a man, Hade, may or may not be keeping her against her will. But Cate seems to remember things that happened to Sarah, and perhaps things that happened to Corry. Could they somehow be the same person? Or could they all have been in some way involved with Hade? Cate says the person who took her was the Devil. A strange and haunting revisitation of the myth of Persephone and Ceres.

SKOKIE, Illinois — Portland Cement Association (PCA) recognized Bruce Blair as a finalist for the 2014 John P. Gleason Jr., Leadership Award.
Presented at PCA's annual fall committee meeting, August 26, 2014, in Chicago, the awards honor employees of member companies who have exhibited industry leadership by taking the Association in new directions. Awards are presented in each of PCA's two categories of key strategic initiatives: Business Continuity and Market Development as well as Young Leaders. Blair was honored in the Business Continuity category.
Blair, vice president of product performance and innovation for Lafarge North America, in Chicago, Illinois, is a leader in industry standards development, industry sustainability initiatives, research, and addressing technical issues to improve business continuity. He served as chair of the PCA Durability Subcommittee, leading PCA efforts to address alkali-silica reactivity, sulfate attack, and join deterioration in pavements.
Blair is currently co-chair of the Product Standards and Technology Committee, providing key guidance in the development and use of portland-limestone blended cements and their acceptance by DOTs and specifiers.
He is actively engaged in the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub program, working to steer the program to better address industry needs and opportunities. Blair works tirelessly with standards organizations, industry allies, and specifiers to advance PCA technical initiatives.
The award is named after John P. "Jay" Gleason, Jr., who served as PCA president from 1986 until his retirement in 2007. Gleason was known for his consensus building among both members and allies and for his strong leadership skills.
About PCA
Based in Washington, D.C., with offices in Skokie, Illinois, the Portland Cement Association represents cement companies in the United States. It conducts market development, engineering, research, education, and public affairs programs. More information on PCA programs is available at www.cement.org.
As Congress and the Trump administration consider an infrastructure package of up to $1 trillion, U.S. cement and concrete manufacturers that stand to play a critical role in revitalizing the nation's infrastructure are converging on the capital with a clear message: Don't delay.

Music: The Donnie Simpson Chronicles, Volume 2Posted in 104, awesomeness, bad ideas, blame society, celebrities, music, whimsy on August 30th, 2010 by Hannibal Tabu
Often when I listen to songs, I get the idea for how the music video should go. In many cases, I haven't seen the actual video, partially because I don't get time to sit up watching music videos. Some of my ideas are hopelessly enmeshed in metatextuality, some are simple and direct. All of them stick in my head, whether I see the real video or not. Now you can be tortured with them as well.
Oh, the last time I did this, it went a little something like this …
"Guilty" by Usher featuring T.I.
Of course, you have to set this one in a courtroom.
You wanna get somebody like Judge Mablean or Judge Hatchett on the bench, to set the scene properly and make Usher seem like an underdog. For the plaintiff, shooting dirty looks at Usher with anger over perceived slights, my wife had the best idea: Chilli from TLC.
Given their history together, that kind of stunt casting would keep the gossip rags heated for months. Her lawyer would be played by Taraji Henson (in her Boston Legal character, not her Hustle and Flow character).
The gallery is divided by gender — dudes behind Usher, with the first two rows jammed with as many male celebs and friends of Usher as you can get, and ditto for the plaintiff's side. You shouldn't see the defense attorney (standing facing the judge with hands crossed behind himself) until later on.
The video starts with Usher taking the witness stand and being sworn in by a pixie-cute female bailiff with a really shory haircut. After he says, "Yeah man," the whole jury — a real mix of genders and ethnicities — starts nodding their head to the beat.
Usher sits down and starts "testifying" with the first verse, cutting back and forth with Chilli mean mugging him and the judge frowning disapprovingly. In the chorus, after he sings, "I guess I'm guilty for wanting to be up in the club," all the guys stand and throw their hands in the air on "hey!" After he sings, "I guess I'm guilty 'cause girls always wanna show me love," all the ladies in the gallery behind Chilli say "hey!" and act really flirtatious (batted eyelashes, wave, beckon to him with their fingers, break out with a suggestive dance move, strike a yoga position, et cetera). By the time he gets to "don't take me to jail," the whole gallery should be swaying side to side while bobbing their heads to the music, all in perfect synchronicity. The judge should start tapping her finger on her gavel, also on beat, softening towards Usher's position.
More emphatic testimony for verse two, more of the same for the chorus, except after they say "hey," each side of the gallery gets up and starts dancing like they're at a club. After the chorus, the camera turns to fatce the defense attorney — T.I. He delivers his "closing argument" (yes, I see that Taraji won't get one, it's a video, not a hearing) before Usher jumps up at the end of T.I.'s verse and jumps up on the ledge of the witness stand, singing and dancing (wide ledge) as well, and T.I. starts dancing with Taraji. A set of female bailffs come and cuff Usher and drag him off as he riffs and the courtroom keeps dancing. Last scene has judge grooving before getting a hold of herself and slamming down the gavel and yelling, "This court is adjourned."
I know but don't care about the likely motivations behind this wonderful piece of music. I should say that up front. When I heard this song, a love story (right or wrong) was the furthest thing from my mind. I didn't think of furtive, apprehensive sparks between two people nor the possible harm they could create for another person and their infant.
To me, this song is about terrorism.
Wait, wait, hear me out! All it takes is changing one line in the chorus (which, for the purpose of my hypothetical video, I'm happy to consider as subtext) and this is on some Nat Turner, Al Qaeda stuff. Look at it this way …
I was wondering, maybe,
if we did something hasty,
we could do the unthinkable
would it make us look crazy?
Or would it be so beautiful?
Either way, I'm saying
if you ask me I'm ready …
… if you ask me I'm ready.
See? Those are the words of somebody who has nothing left to lose, someone who needs things to change now and is willing to leave tomorrow in other hands. Bobby Hutton. Mohammed Atta. Timothy McVeigh. Desperate, crazy mofos on a mission. Extremists.
Truth be told, leave the chorus as is and it makes things even crazier.
I should also say that, ideologically speaking, I am not opposed to terrorism. Depending on where you stand, people might say George Washington was a terrorist. Ditto Fidel Castro. Ditto Toussaint L'Ouverture, et cetera and so on. Very few people have ever labeled themselves a "terrorist."
With that in mind, my video casts Alicia as a cult leader. Given what people are thinking about the song, it's a good misdirect that allows Keys to complicate the perception. She begins by sitting in a dark den with three guys (Swizzy can even be one of 'em, I don't care), leaned back, hand to forehead, beginning with her first verse.
Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
When she refers to "you give me a feeling that I've never felt before," the camera will be showing her facing a glowing shrine that is hidden from the camera (to make sure we don't offend any actual religions) with some of her followers looking adoringly on, mouthing the words too, and her lifting a Desert Eagle from the unseen glowing area. On "It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore," she stands up defiantly, clenching her fist and looking off meaningfully as her followers join her on her feet.
When she sings the chorus for the first time, she's in a darkened warehouse setting, standing under a bright circular overhead light. The border of the light is surrounded by the followers from earlier and dozens more, nodding at her words and looking mean. As she approaches the end, a follower steps forward with one hand offered as Keys' voice goes "if you ask me, I'm ready," mouthing the words, followed by another (as many as she sings) and they all join hands team-style under the light (camera angled from above).
Second verse has her alone watching an old video (maybe in black and white soft focus) introducing a father figure. She sings to him while video of troops training paramilitary style plays in smaller CCTV monitors off to one side. On end of "if we gonna do something about it, we should do it right now," should show father figure gunned down by cops while ponytailed Keys is held by other cops (she was younger, maybe dress her in a Public Enemy t-shirt).
Second time she sings "you give me a feeling that I never felt before/And I deserve it, I know I deserve it," she's backstage at a huge rally, singing it to the same Desert Eagle, which she'll shove in a shoulder holster under her jacket before going on stage. Once she's there, she hits the chorus and she'll be behind a podium, singing and gesturing emphatically to a crowd of hundreds on their feet, nodding enthusiastically while holding AK-47s and signs saying stuff like "Change Comes Now!" and "Here Comes Justice!" By the time she gets to "if you ask me, I'm ready" again, camera is at chest level and maybe six feet back from front row, and on each line, another person, looking up at stage, steps forward mouthing the words.
For bridge …
Why give up before we try?
Feel the lows before the highs?
Clip our wings before we fly away?
I can't say I came prepared,
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me?
… it will be a quick cut collage of people arming themselves and loading up in SUVs, then driving fast along a freeway in a convoy.
Holding an AK-47 in her lap as, oh, say Swizz drives. She'll sing the last chorus, ending up on a rooftop singing down to a crowd a thousand deep, all loaded for bear, with dozens at a time stepping forward on "if you ask me, I'm ready." As the song ends, Alicia's at the edge of the rooftop (it's like a brownstone), just nodding to the beat as her army marches below.
Normally I'm very literal, but this makes me go a different way. No idea why.
Only had two songs this time, I'll try to remember another one I had in mind.

On the one hand, any item having to do with the Redskins nickname is stale and overdone and repetitive and makes readers hate me and lessens my chances of getting random people to buy me cheap domestic drafts in area watering holes.
On the other hand, I write a blog about Washington-area sports. And it seems notable to me when the mayor of Washington, D.C., is evidently refusing to speak the name of the local NFL franchise.
"Speaking of symbols, our experience over the past football and baseball seasons symbolizes just how well things are going in the District of Columbia," Gray said Tuesday night during his State of the District address. "Over the past year, both our baseball and football teams had breakthrough seasons – and have become great examples of teams coming into their own. Both teams showed sustained excellence and brilliance that got them to postseason play – for the first time in franchise history for the Nationals, and for the first time in what seemed like an eternity for our Washington football team."
Sure, maybe that was an accident, the whole "our football team" thing. But when Gray names the Nats by name, and does not name the Redskins — just a few weeks after he said the team's name "has become a lightning rod," and that "there needs to be a dispassionate discussion about this, and do the right thing," well, I think you can put the pieces together.
And since there are relatively few cities represented by pro sports teams whose mayors refuse to speak their names, this seemed worthy of noting.
Gray, of course, is not the only person to take this approach. Let me quote from a recent Dave Kindred column at Sports On Earth:
Did you see what my colleague, Gwen Knapp, did the other day? She wrote a column about Mike Shanahan and Washington's sudden rise in the NFL. Not once did she use the team's nickname and the column made great good sense, anyway. When I asked if she'd done that before, Knapp said she'd never made a crusade out of it because she didn't really have much to say.
"The word 'ick' doesn't make for much of a column," she said. It's just that she dislikes that nickname more than Chiefs and Braves. "It's gross," she said.
And now, commence bashing me over the head.
(Via @MikeDeBonis, who tells me the mayor actually said "our Washington football team," although the pre-printed text of his speech just said "our football team.")

A Saskatoon member of the Hells Angels will stand trial on charges he threatened to kill the owner of a local mining company.
A judge ruled at a preliminary hearing this morning that there's enough evidence against Jesse Bitz to proceed to trial. Bitz elected to be tried by Queen's Bench judge alone. No date has been set.
Case dates back a year
Bitz is accused of eight counts of threatening to kill Leonard Banga, the owner of Xtreme Mining and Demolition. The pair had a dispute which led Banga to fire Bitz. That's when the alleged threats took place.
After firing Bitz, Banga went on to change his hiring guidelines. He then fired a handful of other Hells Angels on his workforce.
"This new hiring policy came into effect due to the matter currently before the courts, and industry expectations," Banga said outside court.
"Xtreme Mining and Demolition enacted a new hiring policy in the fall of 2013 to prevent individuals with a history of violence and/or involvement in organized crime from working in safety sensitive situations."
Three of the Hells Angels fired after the policy change are now threatening legal action.

ANCHORAGE - At least eight tourist buses broke down over the weekend at Denali National Park, striking union members said.
Larry Bell, a spokesman for International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1547, said eight buses were out of service Saturday and two more Sunday morning. The service garage lot was full, he said.
The union represents mechanics, radio technicians and warehouse workers employed by Doyon-Aramark, the park concessionaire. A strike began Wednesday after six months of wage and pension talks.
Bell said Denali has about 120 buses. Bus service is important because there is only one road into the park.
On Saturday, park spokeswoman Kris Fister said there had been no letup in the stream of visitors, and substitute mechanics had been hired.

Is eating meat bad for your health?
Meat can provide many essential nutrients in our diet. It is a rich source of iron and of protein that is the building block for muscle and many of the chemical processes in our body. However, it is not the only source for protein. Non-meat sources of protein include dairy products, eggs, nuts and beans. It is possible to get enough protein in your diet without eating meat and many people chose to adopt a meat-free lifestyle for religious, health or ethical reasons. There are so many recommendations these days about how we should be eating. Some of these recommendations are often in direct conflict to one another. One area where many diets differ is on their recommendations about eating meat – some recommend eating a lot of meat while others recommend limiting or cutting meat out of one's diet completely. What is best? Read on.
Meat is a broad term. There are many types of meat. 'Red' meats such as beef, pork and lamb tend to be higher in saturated fat, a form of fat that is thought to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. 'White' meats are more lean forms of meat such as chicken, turkey and fish are generally lower in saturated fat (especially if you do not eat this skin). Processed meats (they can be red or white) refer to meat products that have things added to them like salt, chemical preservatives, flavorings and sweeteners. Processed meats include things like sausages, bacon, luncheon meats or cold cuts, hot dogs, and ham.
So, should you be eating meat? As with many health questions, there are some things that are known and some things that are less clear. But, here is what we do know.
People who eat less meat tend to live longer. Communities where people eat small amounts to no meat have been shown to have some of the longest life expectancies. For instance, here in the United States, the community with the longest life expectancy is a group of Seventh Day Adventists living in Southern California. Is this because they are vegetarian? Or is it because they and many others who follow a vegetarian lifestyle in general tend to be more health conscious (e.g., smoke less, drink less alcohol) and in the case of religious communities, often have more strong social and community connections which have been shown to be a big contributor to life expectancy? It is not clear. We can benefit from their example by lessening the meat in our diet and making sure that we are paying attention to the other important aspects of our health.
If you are going to eat meat, avoid processed meats. Eating a diet high in processed meats will kill you faster. Yes, you read right. I am not usually this blunt. But, after reviewing the evidence (and there is a lot that has come out recently) it is clear, people who eat more processed meat tend to die sooner, especially from cardiovascular diseases and cancers. The high salt content and preservatives in processed meats are thought to contribute to these problems. So, let's review, what are examples of processed meats: ham, bacon, sausages, cold cuts, pepperoni, anything where you pick up the package and see a list of ingredients. What can you eat instead? Bake a chicken at the beginning of the week and cut it up to use on sandwiches. Instead of sausage, ham or bacon for breakfast, consider a meatless option or find an unprocessed meat option for breakfast like some chopped up chicken from last night's dinner cooked with some veggies and eggs.
If you eat meat, eat less of it. Many of us who eat meat, eat a lot more than we need. Our body cannot store the extra protein that is in meat. It will either get broken down and eliminated as waste or be converted and stored as fat. In addition, eating too much meat can be hard on your kidneys. Most adults unless they are extremely active only require somewhere between 40-70 grams of protein per day. If you are like me, I have no idea what that means. So, for example, a 1/2 chicken breast contains approximately 30 grams of protein or almost 1/2 of the average daily requirement. Just think how much extra protein you are getting if you have bacon for breakfast, a couple of pieces of chicken for lunch and pot roast for dinner. This is a lot more than your body needs or can use.
There is more to worry about with meat than just meat. The potential health issues of eating meat go beyond the fat and calories and excess protein. Recently, there has been a lot in the news about the antibiotics that are used in large quantities in the large scale meat production operations that supply most of the meat in the United States. Many of these antibiotics are used to help increase the size of the farm animals so that they can grow bigger quicker. This allows meat to be sold for cheaper prices, which can make it more affordable, but also contributes to many of us eating more of it than we need. There is growing concern that these antibiotics that are used for animals may still be present in cooked meat and get into our bodies and lead infections that antibiotics can no longer cure. This could become a serious health concern. Eating less meat and trying (if and when possible) to eat meat that is raised humanely without added antibiotics can help protect your health and that of your family and community.
So, what is the answer? We know that many vegetarians live longer than heavy meat eaters, but the reasons for this may have to do not only with their diet but with other lifestyle choices. If you eat meat, try to follow other healthy lifestyle recommendations including regular exercise, not smoking and trying to create and maintain a community of individuals who you can rely on for support. In addition, if you eat meat, consider eating less of it. Vegetables, grains and beans should make up most of what we eat. Finally, avoid processed meats as much as possible. They have well documented health risks.
Just to be clear, I am not advocating that everyone become a vegetarian. I eat meat and I find I function better with a bit of concentrated protein. I know other people who say they feel better not eating meat. However, I continue to work to decrease the overall amount of meat my family and I eat for the many of the reasons we have discussed. With this information and your personal experience find a balanced, sustainable eating plan that works for you and helps support your individual, your family and community's health.

The script was all but written, but somewhere along the line someone lost the plot.
Saturday was to be Sebastien Le Toux's glorious return to Philadelphia, the city he represented with distinction as a member of the Union for two seasons, scoring 25 goals and adding 20 assists.
Going in to the City of Brotherly Love with his new team, the Vancouver Whitecaps, Le Toux was flying high as part of an undefeated squad which had claimed seven points from a possible nine.
The French forward told reporters ahead of the match that he had nothing to prove to a team which traded him for allocation money this offseason when the sides couldn't agree a contract extension.
And while that may be true, given the circumstances of his departure, Le Toux surely wanted to show up Union boss Peter Nowak.
According to Le Toux, Nowak sent him out on an unwanted trial to Bolton Wanderers after contract negotiations stalled, and when he was eventually traded to Vancouver, it was an assistant and not Nowak himself who told him he'd be leaving town.
Given that backstory, Le Toux's missed chances on Saturday – specifically his shot over the bar in the 82nd minute, when he was clear through on goal – hurt.
Big time.
"I'm very disappointed with myself," Le Toux told reporters after the game. "You know I wanted to put my team winning today and get the win here and unfortunately we didn't. I had the two biggest chances on the team. I have to be better. I'm really very disappointed about them."
It's a sideshow Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie seems happy for Le Toux to put behind him.
"I do think it's good for him to get this game out of the way early in the season," Rennie said after the match. "It's obviously a big game for him. He was a fantastic player for the Philadelphia Union and I believe he'll be a great player for the Whitecaps as well. [Philadelphia] is a hard-working city and people love hard-working people and Sebastien, you don't get much harder working than he is and we're very glad to have him."
"His work rate is phenomenal and I think that's had a big impact on our team -- make them work hard and follow suit from what he's done," Rennie added. "I think, as I said, it'll be good for him to have gotten this game out of the way now. He won't be playing in Philadelphia for a while, so he can get on with what he's good at and I look forward to him as we build our group."
Le Toux, like his team, is working hard. But at times over the past three matches it has seemed a struggle for the player and his teammates in midfield and in the offensive third. The 28-year-old hasn't scored since the fourth minute on opening day.
As for his team? Well, in their last win, three games ago, the 'Caps only managed a set-piece goal against the run of play after holding just 35.4 percent possession. The team has followed up that performance with two scoreless draws in which the offense created little in the way of quality opportunities – indeed the 'Caps failed to record a single shot on target in either of those matches.
Rennie suggested a potential turnaround up front won't be up to him, but rather it's the players who need to step up if the goals are to start flowing.
"If you're not scoring goals, that's always a frustrating thing," Rennie said. "But this is the third team that I've built and I've been through this process before where it takes a little bit to get that clicking and I'm not concerned about it in that regard. I know what it takes and how that comes together, so it doesn't always happen right away.
"It often requires an individual guy or maybe two guys to take the bull by the horns and we haven't quite found that yet but I do think that it will come."

MyBrute.com and the Muxxu version of MyBrute are two completely separate games. There is no link between the two, and no pupils on the Muxxu verison, so it is not possible to import your brute.
When your brute wins a tournament, its ranking increases (rankings are visible on the Rankings page) and it begins again at level 1.
Your brute also loses any weapons, skills and other bonuses acquired under their previous ranking.
When you win a tournament and increase your ranking, you will be given the choice of keeping the same destiny (making the same choices at each level-up) or to randomly select a new destiny.
Note: If you make the second choice, you could still be unlucky and end up with a similar destiny to your previous one.
Every time you are defeated in combat, your brute is wounded. After 3 wounds, your brute will not be able to fight again until the next day (wounds are healed at midnight).
Wounds can be healed at the hospital which allows your brute to fight some more (up to a maximum of 10). However, there is no public healthcare system in MyBrute. You need to pay for it, and it can only be done once per day.
Your brute has already been wounded 3 times, or your brute is exhausted.
Exhaustion kicks in after 10 combats, regardless of how many wounds you have sustained.
This rule is in place to stop brutes which have had luck on their side during the first few levels climbing the rankings at a dizzying pace!
Your brutes cannot be deleted.
If a brute is no longer of use to you, you can retire them. Once retired, they cannot fight, nor be attacked. A retired brute still counts as a brute in your possession, and as such cannot be replaced by a free brute.
Only 2 free brutes per player, whether they are retired or not.
NB: Changing a brute's destiny after winning a tournament does allow you to have a new one...
Titles are rewards which allow you to personalise your profile page.
They are displayed on your profile and shown on the Forums.
To modify your title, go to My Profile > Change my Title.
All you need to do is level-up.
Each increase offers two branches (2 propositions): You will have the choice between skills, weapons, an animal or attributes (Strength, etc.).
If a brute has been retired having already fought (Tournament or Training), you will not be able to bring them out of retirement the same day.
Wait until midnight when you will be able to get your brute back in great shape.
Each brute's destiny is determined randomly using a 'tree' of destinies comprising skills, weapons, pets and bonuses.
So, if you select Option A at level 1, you will not get the same propositions at level 2 as you would have had you chosen Option B.
Furthermore, rarely will a skill be offered twice in the same destiny: think carefully before making your choice!
Each battle fought in training earns you 1 Experience Pt, regardless of outcome (voctory or defeat).
Each victory in the Tournament earns you 1 Experience Pt.
As soon as a brute hits level 3, they can register for a tournament.
Each brute can participate in one tournament per day (wounds do not affect reistration).
There could be several reasons for this.
To link your brute, it must be password-protected.
Ensure this password is not too long (10 characters maximum), otherwise the linking may not work.
If your password is not too long, check your brute's name. You must copy the name of your brute from the address bar.
Therefore, if your brute is called Super Brute, the address displayed will resemble http://super-brute.mybrute.com/xxx
You must copy exactly what is between http:// and .mybrute.com
For the example given, you should enter super-brute, being careful not to miss the hyphen.
If after all this, the linking still doesn't work, please contact Support
You can have up to four animals: Only one bear or panther, and up to 3 dogs over and above.
A brute's appearance cannot be modified by a player. Only armour will change their appearance (slightly).
Owning an animal reduces a brute's endurance, ie their life-expectancy. It's a trade-off. The drop is proportional to the animal's power.
This behaviour is random. Some brutes have fighting positions. It is rare, but gives no bonus / penalty in battle.
It is down to you whether or not you activate skills which result in self-wounding. You can choose to not use the skill for a 24 hour period in order to escape wounding.
Nales cannot be changed after creation.
If you are no longer happy with your account name, you can unsubscribe from your current account and create a new one with your desired name.
The Muxxu version of MyBrute is a completed game which will not have any more updates. Consequently, support for MyBrute on Muxxu is closed. If you come across a problem in the game, we recommend you to consult the Game Help or to use the community forums for Mybrute on Muxxu.
I haven't found the answer to my question: Contact the team

Cinema Verite
Since "An American Family" was a TV show that arguably went too far, is that why "Cinema Verite" overcompensated by not going far enough? HBO teamed up with the directors of "American Splendor" to tell the story of the first reality TV show and the ethical lines it crossed. Since reality television is so much part of regular broadcasting, a look at where the chaos began is very compelling, yet everything feels so tame.
The film cuts from watching the filmmakers follow a single family to the actual footage they're capturing. Shouldn't there be more of a difference between the two? Since reality is being sifted through this lens and perspective, this could have been an opportunity to see what was missing in the final product. Instead, it's all just bland on both ends.
Playing up any sort of shock value won't work because we're already exposed to some of the most maddening forms of "entertainment" in existence. So "Cinema Verite" should have looked at why and how such a thing could have occurred. Any argument with the producers or the crew was cut short to focus on the subject's marriage or unhappiness.
By the end, the family argues they were naïve going into this project, but that's never seen in this movie. Characters are openly judged, and the film clearly points out who it thinks is right and wrong. That's done so pointedly this feels like reality as seen through a reality show as seen through a movie to where the truth is further diluted.
This is the perfect time to release such a story, but none of it makes an impact. A movie like Albert Brooks' "Real Life" holds more weight than this. It's too bad because Diane Lane and James Gandolfini give great performances as the housewife and the movie producer who get over their heads. (Tim Robbins is fine too, but his performance just had me thinking he should have replaced John C. Reilly in "Carnage")
The DVD is pretty lacking, but that's expected for an HBO movie. There's a commentary track with the directors and Lane. Then there is a throwaway three-minute featurette where the actors tell you the plot of the movie.

Extras: 2 Yaps

FDA May Never Find Tainted Tomato Source
The head of U.S. food safety efforts says it's possible the government will never track down the source of the recent tomato salmonella outbreak.
David Acheson, the Food and Drug Administration's food safety czar, says that's because fresh produce like tomatoes aren't consistently labeled as to origin, and also because the outbreak, which sickened 277 people and hospitalized 43, is so widespread, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.Acheson said that definitively pinning down where the bacteria originated may be impossible because, unlike jars of peanut butter, which were also subjects of a salmonella scare, individual tomatoes typically don't have information about their origins.
Off of that jar of peanut butter, you've got the history of that product, Acheson told the Tribune, adding that even though some U.S. growers voluntarily identify boxes of their products, tracking a suspect batch is very difficult. We have to find ways to do this better, he said.
The FDA used harvest schedules in a process of elimination to narrow down their suspicions to southern Florida or Mexico. Acheson said the FDA's best tip so far is a cluster of nine cases from the same geographical location, which he declined to name.

Story highlights
- Julie Roberts is a country music singer with multiple sclerosis
- She worried about how people would react if they knew she had MS
- May 28 is the 5th World MS Day
Accepting my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis was probably the most difficult part of my MS journey. However, it also helped me retake control of my life.
For years, I was in denial that I had MS. I thought if I didn't focus on my MS, then maybe it would just go away. It took the Nashville flood in May 2010 for me to "wake up" and decide it was time to take responsibility for what is, and what will be, my life with MS. My Mom, my sister and I lost our home and almost everything we owned in the flood. When we were rescued by boat, we were given another chance at life. I realized then that things can be replaced, but life and good health are invaluable.
The stress from the flood brought on a relapse of my MS, which I could no longer ignore. At that point, I decided to accept that MS is part of who I am, and that I needed to learn how to manage it in order to continue living my dreams.
I believe it was God who gave me another chance at life with the flood rescue and I wasn't going to waste it. I was determined to show this disease who was boss and that I would not let MS define my life's journey! I wanted to show the world that MS looks different for everyone and that MS does not mean you have to give up on your dreams. A diagnosis with any disease can be overwhelming, scary and confusing. Before, I, too, was scared and worried about how the world and the music industry would look at me if they knew I had MS.
Would they judge me and stop booking me to sing places?
Would I be able to continue playing shows?
Would the dreams I'd been working toward my entire life be taken from me? If so, what else would I do?
I can't say life is a piece of cake. Occasionally I still get asked whether my MS will interfere with my professional or personal life, but I respond every day by doing what I love.
Can I continue to play my shows? Ask my fans who are there with me when I'm on tour around the world or playing a local nightspot. Can I write my songs? Listen to my current CD. Can I live a full and happy life? Come see the home I rebuilt after the flood.
This doesn't mean I live my life in a haphazard way without a plan. I have developed a strong network of support, starting with my family. After hearing some positive things about my local MS Society chapter, I also reached out to it for information and found a mentor who has grown into a lifelong friend.
I've learned to manage my MS by keeping all my options open. I have a neurologist who helps me control my MS with a disease-modifying therapy and address any symptoms that may appear. I am also much more than my MS and I manage my life through diet, exercise and my faith.
I have learned that I do not have to give up on my dreams.
I do still have the challenge of educating those within my professional field that MS won't stand in the way of performing concerts or being with my fans. It's a challenge I face head-on every day. I will continue to stand up for myself and those with MS and show the world that as people living with MS we can still do what we want to do.

Yes and no, no.
There wasn't a lot of work on the userland front lately, only the beginning of the framwork exists (userland LWKT). Other parts of the system had a greater need for work.
libc_r is still the n:1 threading and therefore can't take advantage of SMP other than the normal multi-processing.

im curious, ive been a demo lock for the longest while, how hard is it transitioning to destro? is the spell priorities more complex?
im curious, ive been a demo lock for the longest while, how hard is it transitioning to destro? is the spell priorities more complex?
I've heard that Destro is the most complex.
It's faster paced and ISF will feel awkward for a while, but it's MUCH more enjoyable to play since the 4.3 changes--lengthening the duration of ISF made a big difference.
____________________R.I.P Excessive Gaming____________________
not at all...I've heard that Destro is the most complex.
destro has its complexity, but not as the most. Single target fights aren't that much hard and different with demo(even easier to play), but multitarget needs huge training to be competitive(I see demo like somethin anti multi!).
mastering demo takes more practice then mastering destro. i know from experience. it took me a couple weeks to really get the destro rotation down, while it took nearly a month to get the demo rotation down. (a lot of that was just not understanding what to do)
Spell rotation is slightly less complex. The opening sequences for demo are definitely more complicated than for destro. The biggest difference will be stat priority. If you are a full mastery build in demo you will want to see about adding haste and possibly crit.
I've found destro a lot easier and more enjoyable than demo.
The only thing that gets kind of awkward is ISF, but if you can get the T13 4pc, that helps a LOT. The other thing is to make sure your immolate is 100%. I've found that if I get a little slow on refreshing immolate (which is happening more often as I switched some addons around recently >.<) my DPS drops a lot, since you're losing some incinerate damage as well as the damage from immolate.
And with that Khargol said about stats. It's Hit > Haste > Crit = Mastery. Crit is slightly higher, but like everybody says, simcraft everything! I've found just getting to the haste soft cap (I can't remember what it is off the top of my head, but I use elitistjerks numbers) and then splitting between mastery and crit has been giving me the best numbers right now.
You know nothing of the crunch!
I would have to disagree with what most people are saying. I just made the switch from demo to destro about 2 weeks ago. Demo tends to still feel more like a rotation than priority, where destro definitely feels like a priority system. As many have said, keeping up ISF takes some getting used to, especially when you have to hard cast to refresh. The T13 set bonus helps a ton with this though.
Also, I've heard that it's not really worth switching to if you can't hit the 2681 haste rating - which is really hard to hit at lower gear levels. Once you get higher gear, mastery also becomes slightly better than crit. Overall, I'd say destro is much more fun to play, an is a lot more consistent than demo, especially with multi-target fights.
But yes, mastery does pass crit later on, but from what I've seen, they seem to stay fairly close throughout this tier.
You know nothing of the crunch!

City Of Cleveland Announces Support For Occupy Wall Street
Last week, the Cleveland city council held an emergency meeting to determine its stance on Occupy Cleveland as well as the Occupy movement at large.
Resolution 1720-11 was approved by the City Council will a vote of 18 yeas and only 1 nay. With a population of 2,250,000 people, Cleveland joins other large cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago in public support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Excerpts of the Cleveland Resolution, which was sent to President Barack Obama and all members of the U.S. Congress, are reprinted below:
WHEREAS, Cleveland community members, like others across the United States, are frustrated by the continuing economic crisis that threatens individual, family, small local business and City finances, and our community's quality of life, and are participating in Occupy protests to make their voices heard; and
WHEREAS, the economic roots of these protests are varied, including sustained unemployment, growing income disparity, banking system failures, stalled earning power, and unjust tax systems, that all contribute to ongoing wealth disparities; and
WHEREAS, the political roots of these protests are also varied, including the growing political power of corporations, influence of money on elections and public policy and inability of average citizens to have their voices heard and needs met through formal political forums,thus contributing to citizens pursuing alternative political arenas; and
WHEREAS, over the past 30 years, gains in our economy have accrued largely to the top1% of Americans, who now control 43% of the total net wealth, and to the next 19% on the top that control 50% of the wealth in the United States (top 20% controls 93% of wealth with the bottom 80% controlling only 7%) due in part to public policies that can be changed…
Section 1. That this Council recognizes and supports the principles of the Occupy Movement and the peaceful and lawful exercise of the First Amendment as a cherished and fundamental right in the effort to seek solutions for economically distressed Americans at the federal, state and local levels.
Section 2. That this Council commits to working with the Jackson administration to continue taking steps to minimize economic insecurity and destructive disparities in the City of Cleveland.
Section 3.
That this Council requests our Congressional leaders generate solutions for economically distressed Americans.
Section 4.
That the Clerk of Council is directed to transmit copies of this resolution to President Barack Obama and all members of the U.S. Congress.
Section 5.
That this resolution is hereby declared to be an emergency measure and, provided it receives the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to Council, it shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its adoption and approval by the Mayor; otherwise, it shall take effect and be in force from and after the earliest period allowed by law.
I applaud the City of Cleveland and its City Council members for fulfilling their duty to protect and serve the rights of its constituents. May they just be one of many that will come forward to take such a stand in the face of political and economic corruption.

Getting children to bundle up in hats and mittens for cold-weather jaunts might be less of a chore if there was a way to make the experience more fun. There is, thanks to the folks at Aurora World and their new animal-shaped Mitts'N Hat. The combination hat, scarf and mittens consists of a plush animal-head hat, with two 35-inch-long dangling plush "legs" that function as a scarf and culminate in foot-shaped mittens. The wild outerwear comes in five styles: a monkey, tiger, giraffe, panda, or alligator. Each of these colorful buddies has a very happy face and plush ears (the alligator has scales, the giraffe plush horns). And since the entire outfit is one piece, there's no misplacing a lone mitten. Designed for children ages 3 to 7.
Mitts'N Hat is $19 at auroragift.com

Joy Behar: Glenn Beck 'was an alcoholic and a drug addict,' 'so it sort of follows he's crazy now'
Related: Leaked video shows Glenn Beck using Vicks to cry on cue
The boisterous comedienne and co-host of The View, Joy Behar, didn't mince words on this weekend's Reliable Source with The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz.
Asked about popular Fox News host Glenn Beck, Behar cut straight to the point, bemoaning both the media and Beck himself.
"He's frequently ridiculous and doesn't make any sense as far as I'm concerned," Behar remarked. "He calls himself a rodeo clown, and he's a clown. He's on the cover of Time Magazine. I mean the media plays just right into his hands.
"He was an alcoholic and a drug addict at one time and so, it sort of follows that he'd be crazy now," Behar continued. "Not that all alcoholics are crazy. But it's sort of, it's interesting to me that when they give up drinking, they replace it with another addiction. In this case, it's just carrying on and acting out and talking constantly, and riling up the crowd. He's addicted to all that publicity I think. It took the place of drinking.
She added: "He's sort of somebody who yells fire in a crowded theater but I believe in free speech and as long as there are no weapons involved, that's fine."
Beck was recently featured on the cover of Time Magazine, and has incited outrage from liberals over his over-the-top monologues.
This video is from CNN's Reliable Sources, broadcast Sept. 27, 2009.
