Subjects such as orientation, registration, housing, health insurance, and the required summer reading assignment are covered below
"I am 'conditionally' admitted, have sent my $500 Enrollment Deposit, and sent my Admission Acknowledgement Form, but what is still needed to become 'fully' admitted?"
Every high school student entering the California State University must demonstrate readiness for college level math and English or be placed in an extra preparatory course upon arrival. Your readiness in math and English can be demonstrated in a number of ways based on your test scores alone or your test scores in combination with high school courses and grades.
California residents who do not demonstrate math and/or English readiness must enroll in a preparatory "Early Start" course during the summer before they arrive and attempt to pass courses or they may not be allowed to enroll for any courses in the fall semester. These courses will be available around the state and online. Out-of-state residents unable to demonstrate math or English readiness will be highly encouraged to also enroll in local or online summer courses. Here are a few ways to demonstrate readiness:
More information on demonstrating English and math readiness as well as the Early Start program will be posted in the next few months.
Access to your Cal Maritime e-mail account and campus computing systems was sent to the personal e-mail account currently in your file approximately two weeks after you applied for admission. If you did not receive your campus username and password, please contact the Admission Office at 707-654-1330 or email@example.com. You need this access to receive financial aid information, receive important information from campus departments, and to register for Fall courses in June. We suggest you add your Cal Maritime e-mail account to your smart phone. Instructions were the first e-mail sent to your Cal Maritime account. Here are visual instructions for both iOS (Apple)and Android operating systems.
Please Note - If you have been logging into your Student Portal - remember that the messages you see on the screen are NOT your e-mail messages. Those are just bulletin board type messages. Once logged into the Student Portal, you must click the icon on the left side of the screen that says "Office 365 E-MAIL" to reach your e-mail.
July 16, 2018 is the deadline for your official, "sealed," final transcripts to arrive in our office. This is not a postmark deadline - this is the date the official (sealed) transcript must arrive in our office. On the morning of July 18, we will identify all students without final transcripts and drop them from any courses for which they have registered. This will allow students on waiting lists for those courses to fill in the newly opened spots. Students who miss this deadline may also have their offer of admission revoked.
All enrolling new students will be sent an e-mail to their Cal Maritime e-mail address in early June with information on the class registration process. It is important that you read this e-mail and continue to regularly check that Cal Maritime e-mail account. If you have questions about the class registration process, contact the Registrar's Office at 707-654-1200 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Check to see if you have any "Holds" or "Warnings" on your student record that could prevent you from registering for certain Fall courses. "Holds" are noted just above your "To Do List" in your PeopleSoft Student Services Center. A Typical "Hold" is due to not yet passing medical review. A typical "Warning" is a previous school's official transcript not arriving in the Admission Office.
Swim assessments are required of all cadets during Orientation Week. Keep in mind; the swim assessment should be considered a "challenge exam" that fulfills the prerequisite requirement for many of the classes offered at the Academy. It is also required of all students as a graduation requirement. For more information on the Swim Assessment, Click Here. If you need further information, contact the Aquatics Supervisor, Tina Rossi at email@example.com or at 707-654-1791. You may also contact the Athletics Department at 707-654-1050.
"How and when will I receive my housing assignment?"
First, make sure you have filled out and sent in your Housing License Agreement through StarRez in your Student Portal which was part of your New Student Guide. It is due to the Residential Life Office by May 1, 2018. Those who wish to apply for permission to live off-campus should fill out the Off-Campus Housing Petition rather than the end of the Housing License Agreement.
Housing assignments are made approximately one month before the start of school. The Housing and Residential Life Staff will contact all incoming students by mail with their assignment, roommate, and check in appointment.
Use this link to reach all the housing information for new students.
Cal Maritime offers a unique program called the Cadet-Community Connection, a program providing first-year students (especially those traveling a great distance) with a connection to a local family. Participating families commit to providing friendship, understanding, encouragement, and a "home away from home" to incoming students as they meet the challenges associated with a demanding first-year. Please note, students do not live with these families
For more information, go to https://www.csum.edu/web/connection.
The Cal Maritime faculty launched a "New Student Common Reading Program" three years ago. All incoming students are required to read the same book prior to arriving on campus. The book will then be incorporated into New Student Orientation and integrated into your first-year experience.
The book for Summer, 2018 has not yet been selected. When a selection has been made, it will be posted here.
Additional information including how to acquire the book will be sent to your Cal Maritime and personal e-mail accounts in May 2017. If you have questions on this topic, contact Michele Van Hoeck at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The objectives of the program are:
Advanced Placement (AP) scores should arrive in our office on approximately July 10. Here are answers to some of the common questions we get about AP scores:
The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 - 66028.6 of the Education Code).
Follow this link to information for Veterans.
It is the policy of Cal Maritime to require all enrolled students to maintain Cal Maritime student health insurance or comparable private insurance. This is due to the special nature of the educational experience at the Academy, which includes an international training cruise or international study experience.
If you are currently NOT INSURED:
You will be automatically enrolled in the Cal Maritime insurance plan that meets all school requirements.
If you are CURRENTLY INSURED and wish to maintain your current insurance, you must:
Request a waiver from purchasing Cal Maritime's insurance plan by completing the online insurance waiver on the Student Health Services web site at http://www.csum.edu/web/health-services/required-health-insurance. The deadline to complete the online waiver from mandatory school health insurance will be in early July. Please note - It is the responsibility of the student to inform Cal Maritime when coverage changes after any waiver has been granted.
Sign up for Cal Maritime Day on Saturday, April 14.
- Check-In: 8am - 9am

Cal Maritime Day is designed for you to look over the Academy from stem to stern.

This program invites admitted students on Saturday, March 3, 2018 and
is designed for women (from admitted students to current cadets) interested in the international business and logistics, global studies, marine transportation, engineering, and engineering technology fields. Professionals from these industries will speak on topics important to the empowerment and success of our female cadets as they enter their careers.

What's the difference between a riot, a popular movement or a demonstration on the one hand and a revolution on the other?
A riot, popular movement and a demonstration may change government policy or a law. Poll tax riots at least helped to end the poll tax and the gay rights movement has nearly got gay marriage legalised (it has got gay nearly-marriage legalised).
A revolution changes a constitution: the permanent environment within which public affairs, whether to have a poll tax or let gays marry, are conducted. The French chopped off the King's head and transformed France into a republic: that counts as a revolution. East Germany didn't have to chop anyone's head off, they just went through some wall, had a few beers and "bingo!" they were part of a democracy. That still counts as a revolution as it transformed the constitution.
Now, the constitution is not only important, in public affairs the constitution is of overwhelming importance. The UK is, in general, a nice place to live. North Korea is, in general, a hell hole. The UK is a liberal democracy (small "l") and, as can be seen by a quick mental survey of other reasonably nice places to live, liberal democracies generally are reasonably nice places to live. The example of places that were not nice places to live, Nazi Germany, fascist Spain and others, that now are reasonably nice places to live suggests that liberal democracies are reasonably nice places to live because they are liberal democracies.
Over longer timescales we can see that feudal corporate countries were not such nice places to live as liberal democratic nation states. Medieval France and Medieval England were places of servitude and cruelty, utterly inegalitarian and culturally repressed. Whilst modern day France and England are by no means perfect (especially France, obviously) they are paradise by comparison. Let's get this straight: the increase in VAT to 20%, "THE CUTS!!!!" or student fees are temporary. Constitutional changes, universal suffrage, equality before the law, the secret ballot have permanent and deep effects on every citizen's life.
The UK, as above, is a reasonably nice place to live and a big part of that is that we have a good constitution. We have a representative democracy, with a more-or-less independent judiciary and respect (sort of) by our rulers for the rule of law. Officiallywe have a Queen, actually her role is mainly ceremonial and just looks as though it's a part of the old feudal set up. Officially the media have no role in the UK's constitution. Actually one particular media organisation, News Corp., has become part of how public affairs are organised in the UK. Not just taking part in public affairs, many groups do that, but that there have arisen obligations on the part of others in public affairs to News Corp. Just as the government may be over-ruled by judges and Commons legislation is subject to amendment in the Lords the government is subject to oversight by News Corp. This is oversight, we all suggest things the government should do and anyone is entitled to suggest or campaign, with News Corp. there is a duty on the part of the government to take News Corp. wishes into account.
The Daily Telegraph quotes "a senior News International figure" on the first meetings of Cameron with Murdoch:
"We told David exactly what to say and how to say it in order to please Rupert. But Cameron wouldn't play ball. I can't understand it."
There is a duty to please Rupert Murdoch. It makes sense to tell someone what to say to Rupert. You're supposed to do as you're told, to do otherwise is incomprehensible.
News Corp. have insinuated themselves into the very constitution of the UK. And how do they do this? We know that they made money by illegal means. To protect this they followed classic Mafia strategy: they paid off police officers and kept politicians in their pocket. News Corp. are part of our constitution and they are a foul and pestilent part of that constitution: the robber baron of the corporate feudalism we thought we had left behind. But they're in there, and it seems as if only a revolution is going to get them out.
Revolutions usually start when "something snaps". The causes will have been there for years, perhaps decades, perhaps centuries but suddenly something pushes the populace over an undefined limit. Revolutions often start small, they often don't look like revolutions and don't start as revolutions but, somehow, gain their own momentum. An isolated incident starts it off and initial successes feed the populace's confidence. The power of the elite, which depends on the populace's lack of confidence, teeters and falls.
'Phone hacking and, more broadly, the excesses of the tabloid press have been with us for decades. The hacking of Milly Dowler's 'phone was just another, all-be-it spectacularly foul, incident of press lawlessness. But something in the populace seemed to give: the outrage was immense, such that advertisers dropped out, such that the News Corp. lie of "one rogue reporter" failed to work. News Corp seem now to be pushing the "one rogue title" line with the closure of the News of the World. But will it work? It's a confidence trick, confidence tricks rely on confidence and the public's confidence in a denial from News Corp. has disappeared. We may well be seeing the start of a revolution.
Protean revolutions though, can peter out. If this revolution is not to peter out it the rage of the public must be used for constitutional change. How does News Corp. push itself into our constitution? What would stop it doing so? That is what should be attacked. Unfortunately, much of the public rage is being used to attack Coulson and Brooks. But this is not revolutionary, that's like the peasants in the Peasants Revolt being satisfied with policy promises (later renaged on) rather than shooting the King. In the case of Coulson, and the decision to appoint him to Number 10, this is in the past. We will gain nothing by concentrating on Coulson. Brooks is still in the job, but she's a side issue: a hate figure whose demise will help appease the masses (just like the Peasants Revolt again).
Change the constitution, remove the means by which News Corp. Exercises power. Those bent coppers are more important than either Coulson or Brooks. Those coppers who may not be bent, but acted as is they might as well have been (Yates, anyone?) are more important than Coulson or Brooks. Get rid of them.
And then there are the politicians. We all know that they have been running scared of News Corp. Other than the Lib Dems (big "L"), Tom Watson, John Prescott, Chris Bryant and a few others they have all been running scared. Or, to be more exact, have been following their constitutional duty not to upset Rupert. Some though have not just been submitting to News Corp. but actively promoting its interests. They may not be shills per se, but they might as well be shills. These are the supporters of the ancien regime, these are the people it is critical that the energy of any revolution is targeted at.
Forget Coulson and Brooks: get Hunt and Gove and Osborne. Give them, by all means, an opportunity to renounce News Corp. and reform. But if they refuse, remove them, guillotine their careers. Yes Ed, call for an inquiry. It's pretty obvious that we should stop the News Corp. BSkyB bid and, yes, it was a silly appointment. But cooperate, Ed, cooperate with Cameron on the condition that he purges his Government of anyone pro-Murdoch. Do the same with your party, ditch them. Disown Blair.
Nick! Grow a pair. Take control. Talk to Ed. Talk to the rest of the Commons. Oh, and Commons! Yes I'm talking to you, forget about scoring some little point against the opposition and get rid of any Murdoch supporters. Get them out and get him the hell out of our country.
Vive la revolution!

The following is my itinerary for a May 2015 trip. I need help to determine the most cost-effective means of paying for transportation. Day One - Basel to Lucerne, Day 2 -Lucerne, Day 3- Lucerne to Lauterbrunnen, Day 4- Lauterbrunnen, Day 5 - Lauterbrunnen to Interlaken, Day 6 - Interlaken, Day 7 - Interlaken to Zurich. I would like to go to Jungfraujoch on one day. I would appreciate any advice/recommendations on whether to purchase a Swiss Rail Pass and if so, what kind or purchase point-to-point tickets.
Hi jwcod,
You do need some kind of pass to save on regular tickets. Either an 8-day Swiss Travel Pass or a Swiss Half Fare Card would work for you. Which one is best depends on the exact day trips you intend to do. Please see here for detailed instructions.
I recommend not pick both Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen as a base in the Jungfrau region. They are only 20 minutes apart by train. Changing hotels takes time. You can easily stay in one of these towns only.

Let Swiss travel consultants create a customized itinerary. They will book your entire trip.

Kyle Rayner's colorful conflict continues as members from each of the colored corps chase after him in hopes of reclaiming a wayward ring that inexplicably chose Kyle as its new master. This issue unfolds like a Saturday morning cartoon: wild action scenes, big personalities, and Arkillo gets run over by a train. However, unlike with Wylie Coyote, it looks like it really hurt.
Tony Bedard puts on a great show that will entertain any fan of the rainbow expansion to the Green Lantern mythos. Characters like Fatality and Munk get some time in the spotlight, and Bedard even finds a hilarious way to allow the tongueless Arkillo to speak his mind. He is doubtless having a great time writing this story and the reader will feed off his energy like a Blue Lantern supercharging a Green Lantern.
The art is generally solid, but it is obvious that there were two different pencillers without even looking at the credits. For instance, Kyle has spiky hair one page, and then the next he has much longer hair that falls down to his eyes. Bigger problems lay with the facial expressions presented by either artist. Fatality has a strange wide-eyed look to her regardless of her current emotion, whereas the Guardians look more like enraged Oompa Loompas instead of all-powerful space beings.
That said, the last page makes up for any of those discrepancies on pure fanboy credit. It would be a spoiler to discuss it blatantly, but suffice to say that Bedard has listened to GL fans and has given them exactly what they want to see. What makes the final moment so great is that it could only have happened to Kyle based on his past experiences in the Corps; it is not forced. Fun shenanigans involving all of the corps, an intriguing mystery, and a writer poised to deliver some well-crafted fan service? Oh hell yes.

Egyptian Theatre
4537 University Way NE,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 12 comments
As of May 2nd, 2018 the Egyptian is no more. Demolition well underway. The University District has been re-zoned to allow 30+ story buildings and this neighborhood is changing fast. Status should be changed to "Demolished".
Any more interior pics of this theatre? The proscenium maybe and ceilings.
Still standing. Here is a link to an article with photos of some remaining details on the interior of the building.
Satellite View says paulnelson is correct. The building is still standing. Even the stage house is still there.
Also, we have our Google Street View set to the wrong side of the street, and a bit too far south. The Egyptian Theatre's entrance was where Aladdin Falafel and the storefronts either side of it are now. The Dollar Tree store tdickensheets mentions is at the stage end of the theater.
If you take Street View around to the Brooklyn Avenue side of the block you can see the theater building across the parking lot, and it's pretty obvious what it used to be.
Now is The Dollar Tree Store.
Egyptian is now Rite Aid Drugs I think. Building was not demolished. Only ruined. Should have been saved.
An ad for Heywood Wakefield seats on this page of the March 6, 1926, issue of Motion Picture News features a drawing of the Egyptian Theatre's auditorium. The text calls the house "Warners' Elaborate and Unique new 'Egyptian' Theatre in Seattle…." and attributes the design of the house to the Portland, Oregon, architect E. A. Miller.
There is little information available about Edward A. Miller, but Gary Lacher and Steven Stone's Theatres of Portland attributes the design of the slightly earlier Egyptian Theatre in that city to him as well. The fronts of the two theaters are quite similar, so I have no doubt that the attribution is correct.
The Egyptian Theatre was once part of the Evergreen State Amusement Corp., which was one of the subsidiaries of Fox Theatres and later National General Theatres.
There is a photo of the Egyptian from 1940 on this site. Enter theaters as a search term and browse the photos:
Isn't this site now a drugstore?
The Egyptian Theatre opened on 25th December 1925.
For those who love the Egyptian style, there are a number of theatres that have had that theme, and an entire special issue of "Marquee" magazine was devoted to them in their issue of: Vol. 29, #3; Third Qtr. 1997, and the issue features wonderful color covers of the EGYPTIANS in Milwaukee (in the form of a wonderful color painting by artist Mark Hylton of Columbus, OH) and Ogden Ut. The table of such themed theatres includes 45 examples of those now, or at one time, with us. An introduction and Prologue carry one to those ancient days, and individual articles on the Ogden and Hollywood help detail the existing examples. Many other photos are included.
To obtain any available Back Issue of either "Marquee" or of its ANNUALS, simply go to the web site of the THEATRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA at:
and notice on their first page the link "PUBLICATIONS: Back Issues List" and click on that and you will be taken to their listing where they also give ordering details. The "Marquee" magazine is 8-1/2x11 inches tall ('portrait') format, and the ANNUALS are also soft cover in the same size, but in the long ('landscape') format, and are anywhere from 26 to 40 pages. Should they indicate that a publication is Out Of Print, then it may still be possible to view it via Inter-Library Loan where you go to the librarian at any public or school library and ask them to locate which library has the item by using the Union List of Serials, and your library can then ask the other library to loan it to them for you to read or photocopy. [Photocopies of most THSA publications are available from University Microforms International (UMI), but their prices are exorbitant.]
Note: Most any photo in any of their publications may be had in large size by purchase; see their ARCHIVE link. You should realize that there was no color still photography in the 1920s, so few theatres were seen in color at that time except by means of hand tinted renderings or post cards, thus all the antique photos from the Society will be in black and white, but it is quite possible that the Society has later color images available; it is best to inquire of them.
Should you not be able to contact them via their web site, you may also contact their Executive Director via E-mail at:
Or you may reach them via phone or snail mail at:
Theatre Historical Soc. of America
152 N. York, 2nd Floor York Theatre Bldg.
Elmhurst, ILL. 60126-2806 (they are about 15 miles west of Chicago)

I have a B.A. in Theatre Studies from Rose Bruford College of Theatre & Performance in London, U.K. I have performed on stage in Colorado and Honolulu, including starring roles in Jocasta! Jocasta! and A Comedy of Errors.
I began my voice acting career about 10 years, narrating a documentary on architect Richard Neutra, and have since continued to voice more non-broadcast projects, as well as appear in video games like The Swapper and Nancy Drew: The Shattered Medallion. My most recent adventure has been narrating audiobooks such as Dark Futures by Melissa Marr, Kami Garcia and Carrie Ryan. I am now the narrator of nearly 40 titles.
I continue to find new ways to uncover my "voce veritas" or true voice and have taken classes with Lost casting director Margaret Doversola, Acting for Radio at Portland Community College as well as voice over classes with Mary McDonald-Lewis and workshops with Pat Fraley and Bob Bergen.

Professor Abd Al-Salam Haroun was born in Alexandria (Egypt) in 1908 to a family of renowned Islamic scholars. He memorized the Holy Quran and learned reading and writing during his childhood, then pursued formal education in Arabic and Islamic studies in Al-Azhar institute in Cairo. Thereafter, he joined Dar al-Ulum for higher education, graduating with a degree in Arabic in 1932.
Professor Haroun began his career as a faculty member of the College of Arts in Alexandria University, moving, in 1950, to Dar Al Ulum in Cairo where he became professor and Chair of the Department of Arabic Language. He assisted in designing curricula for the College of Arts in the then newly established Kuwait University, and chaired its Departments of Arabic Language and Graduate Studies for more than a decade.
Professor Harun was one of the most distinguished scholars of Arabic literature and language in modern times. He published his first edition, Matn ibn Shuja'a in 1925, when he was only 16. Two years later he published the first volume of his edition of Khizanat al-Adab by al-Baghdadi, and completed four other volumes while he was a student in Dar al-Ulum. His profundity was exceptional, and through the years, he produced around 115 books and editions, many of which consisting of several volumes. His publications covered a wide range of Arabic language and literary arts, history, religion and heritage. Among his major works are: Kitab Al-Hayawan (8 volumes) and Kitab Al-Bayan wa'l-Tabyin, (4 volumes), both by Al-Jahiz; Rules of Grammar (6 volumes) by Ibn Faris, Diwan Al-Hamasa by Al-Marzuqi (4 volumes), Kitab Seebawaih (4 volumes) and Tahqiq al-Nusus. He also wrote numerous seminal articles in Arabic literary journals and supervised or examined more than 80 MA and Ph.D. students.
His contributions were recognized, in addition to the King Faisal International Prize for Arabic Literature, by his election to the prestigious Arabic Language Academies of Egypt and Jordan, and his selection as Secretary General of the former and recipient of its award. He died in 1988.

Looks Like Something the Cat Coughed Up
Our new vegan lifestyle has led to a huge increase in our tofu consumption. Looking to replace meat with some kind of protein, tofu has been the easiest choice. Of course, there is conflicting information out there about just how much tofu you should be consuming. Admittedly, I have done only the most cursory of online searches to solve this newest (to us) nutritional mystery. Since the new vegan thing is different enough, I'm not going to do any further research for now. Suffice it to say, there are other ways to get your protein. Jane usually makes a tofu stir-fry once a week. And there's always a bean based dish or three. We've also had a few things with store-bought chicken seitan. And we've discovered that some grains have protein too! (Couscous and quinoa, for example.)
Looking for alternative sources of protein, Jane decided to try and make seitan at home. We've had seitan, or "wheat meat" as it is also known, in a few of the vegan restaurants we've tried and it's been mostly good. Time for an adventure in the kitchen.
We really both love the Real Food Daily Cookbook cookbook by Ann Gentry (as we've said many times already). However, her recipe for basic seitan was far more work than Jane felt like undertaking for her first venture into the world of home-made seitan. We did have a recipe in The Accidental Vegan by Devra Gartenstein that looked simple.
Basically, you take some wheat gluten (Jane used Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten) and water to form the dough. That's the attractive picture at the top of this post. We've both made bread before and adding the water to the wheat gluten is pretty much like the beginning stages of making a loaf of bread. However, it really looks like cat puke, as any of you who live with the furry beasts can attest to! Then you boil it in water with soy sauce and ginger. Pretty simple. And pretty tasty.
For our dinner last night, Jane then made a gravy based on nutritional yeast and flour and which was rather good. She also roasted butternut squash with olive oil and brown sugar, salt and pepper. The picture does not do it justice. Dinner was yummy. Hearty winter fare. As usual, our entree was accompanied by a salad of mixed field greens with onion, apple, cranberries and a balsamic dressing.

Avengers unite!
As a Frenchman, I don't care much about who the next President will be, since I won't have a say in who that person is!
If I did, I'd vote for Megatron because he's jsut a damn good transformer living the Amercian dream 😉 (but I digress & that's another story.
As usual though, celebs team up in these dire times to stand up against world hunger, defeat poverty, help locals and…
Oh wait no, they're doing none of that at the moment, so they can try and get rid of or prevent another infestation.
This "Trump" person, who, when you think about it, has a name that's the short version of "Trumpet" is running for President.
Most celebs don't like this, so they decided to do a video about it!
Long story short, it's funny, and there are promises of Mark Ruffalo doing a full nude (little sprinkler and all) in his new film!
What do you think?
Hulk bash, Hulk smash, Hulk will show his weiner?
So what did you think?

Mark Helprin Quotes About JusticeQuotes about: Justice
All rivers run full to the sea; those who are apart are brought together; the lost ones are redeemed; the dead come back to life; the perfectly blue days that have begun and ended in golden dimness continue, immobile and accessible; and, when all is perceived in such a way as to obviate time, justice becomes apparent not as something that will be, but something that is.
Why do people resist [engines, bridges, and cities] so? They are symbols and products of the imagination, which is the force that ensures justice and historical momentum in an imperfect world, because without imagination we would not have the wherewithal to challenge certainty, and we could never rise above ourselves.
Who said that justice is what you imagine? Can you be sure that you know it when you see it, that you will live long enough to recognize the decisive thunder of its occurrence, that it can be manifest within a generation, within ten generations, within the entire span of human existence? What you are talking about is common sense, not justice. Justice is higher and not as easy to understand - until it presents itself in unmistakable splendor. The design of which I speak is far above our understanding. But we can sometimes feel its presence.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Everything seemed to be working against the Rangers last night. They were playing their sixth game in six different cities in nine nights, and were missing their best offensive player, Marian Gaborik, who stayed at the team's hotel because of the flu.
But despite falling behind 1-0 early, the Rangers stayed in the game thanks to a second straight strong showing from Henrik Lundqvist, and after a a Ryan Callahan goal with 13:04 remaining forced the game to a shootout, they escaped from Bridgestone Arena with a 2-1 victory over the Predators.
"Well, we knew we were gonna have to grind," John Tortorella said. "We just tried to stay with it, tried not to open up. … After a pretty sluggish start, I thought we came on as the game went on."
Erik Christensen deked Predators goalie Pekka Rinne on the opening attempt of the shootout, then Lundqvist did the rest, stoning Cal O'Reilly, Marcel Goc and Martin Erat to give the Rangers two points.
"I tried to be patient and it just worked out good today," Lundqvist said of his shootout heroics. "They made a couple good moves, but as a goalie, you're trying to be patient all the time and you have a lot better chance to win it."
Without Gaborik and Derek Boogaard, who missed his second straight game with a shoulder injury, the Rangers found themselves down a forward, only adding to the wear and tear of their recent schedule, as well as playing 15 games so far in November.
The Rangers fell behind early when Lundqvist allowed his first goal since the second period of Wednesday's game at Tampa Bay at the 5:10 mark of the first when Colin Wilson burst past Dan Girardi and fired a shot by the King. But Lundqvist, who was playing in his second straight game after making 40 saves in a 3-0 shutout win over the Panthers Friday night, stood tall from that point forward, making 29 saves to keep the Rangers in the game.
"The last two games, I felt like my timing was pretty good," Lundqvist said. "A lot of it is being patient, being on my feet. … When you make the first move, a lot of times you end up in a tough position, especially on the second play. But if you can wait for the puck, from there it's been feeling pretty good."
And just when it looked like the Rangers had little chance of generating a goal, Callahan found himself with the puck in the slot, and his shot ricocheted off of Nashville's J.P. Dumont with 6:56 remaining to give the Rangers a new lease on life.
"He's just fearless," Tortorella said. "And again, we don't have to look too far to what we want as the definition of what we want our players to be. He's right there in front of us.
"He's what it's about, as far as being a Ranger, and good for him to score a goal, because he does all the other things, and it's good that he ended up chipping in there towards the end to tie this game."

Hi There. Yes, I'm still here 🙂 .
I know that I've been pretty quiet these last few weeks; December has definitely been a slow reading month for me. I started a few books that I never finished and then right around Christmas I picked up The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd which I am really enjoying.
My plan right now is to finish reading The Secret Life of Bees, post my review of it, and then launch into January by reading The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck for the Women's Classic Literature Event. Originally I said that I would start January with a review of The Good Earth, but I think that I want to dig into the book a little more. This will actually be a re-read for me and although I remember enjoying the book the first time I read it, I also thought it was sad. Life in pre-revolutionary China was very hard.
I also remember that there were quite a few 'earth' related themes that ran throughout the book: land, food, wealth. So I think I will blog through the book, digging in and exploring the different themes and hidden gems buried beneath the surface.
As I mentioned, I will also be participating in the Women's Classic Literature Event and I have created a new page listing the books I plan to read for that event. I also have a few other books I want to read in 2016:
My husband gave me this book for Christmas and I can't wait to start reading it!
Yes, I'm a Ken Follett fan and my sweet hubby also gave me this book for Christmas. I was unfamiliar with this book, so it was great fun opening it and discovering a 'new' Ken Follett book. I look forward to reading this in 2016 as well.
This book looks really good and I'm currently reading and enjoying The Secret Life of Bees, so why not?
I've had my eye on this book since summer! I almost borrowed it from the library, but then decided to read something I already had on my bookshelf. Well, I recently picked this up at a second hand bookstore, so now it IS on my bookshelf 🙂 !
I found out about this book from Jane's review.
I heard about this one from Jillian at readingamericanleaves.wordpress.com, who is currently offline, it was on a few of her lists. I hope I can find it in 2016.
This list is by no means all inclusive, but I think its a great reading plan and should keep me busy and reading well in 2016.

Medical Record - I use this one to note the date kids were disbudded and by whom, when vaccines were given, when the goat was wormed, and any injuries or illnesses and how they were treated. It isn't really goat-specific so you can use it for dogs, cats, horses or whatever animal you might have.
I also print out a weight chart such as this one from Goat Connection for each goat. When I use my dressmaker's tape to measure the goat, I circle the corresponding weight on the chart and jot down the date next to it. It's important to know approximately how much your goat weighs so you can give the correct dose of medication or wormer when needed. It can be helpful to weigh even adult goats several times a year, as their weight will fluctuate with the seasons, kidding, and lactation.
Here is an article describing how, and a diagram showing where to give injections to goats, from Raising Goats for Dummies (affiliate link).

Reade Street Pub & Kitchen
Critics' Pick
135 Reade St.,
New York, NY 10013
In a neighborhood where $9 barely buys a short pour of tannic Napa red, it's a rare treat to find this comfy pub still thriving. Reade Street isn't spectacular, but it's affordable, dependable, and for the right mood, just right. Darkly intimate, stuffed with a homey assemblage of baseball caps and model trains, and boasting a mellow, spot-on jukebox mixing Sinatra, the Pogues and Prince, Reade Street warms without a whiff of pretension. Nine quality taps (featuring a sunny Reade Street Ale) combine with 25 bottled options to sate every hoppy taste. There's also an extensive pub-food roster (tackle the 10-oz burger if you're feeling up for it, or the fresher-than-Michael-Musto salads if you're feeling too much). The affable barkeeps keep important local games on the telly and ensure that you that you taste every draft before committing to a pint. When you emerge into the austere caverns of lower Tribeca, you'll have a new favorite puband you'll wonder why you ever spent all that money on Opus One anyway.Extra
The kitchen part of Reade Street Pub & Kitchen closes at 1 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 p.m. on Sunday.

Articles tagged with: Grand Theft Auto
As with any high-profile 18-rated game, it's pretty obvious that Grand Theft Auto V will (and has) invite a truckload of controversy, from people who think you get points for shooting prostitutes, and who have clearly never actually played a GTA game in their lives. If they had, they'd know you can easily spend dozens of hours on GTAV without perpetrating any violence at all.
Grand Theft Auto V has just been released and people are already exploring the massive landscape of Los Santos looking to take advantage of everything the city and its surrounding areas have to offer, from the story-centric missions to optional sporting events. The world is your oyster and the possibilities are nearly endless.
Check out the following gameplay videos for a taste of what's made available to players and how to get gold ratings on some of the missions. Be forewarned, the videos contain spoilers for Grand Theft Auto V.
Sony has revealed its lineup for September's PlayStation Plus additions to the Instant Game Collection for North America, and they include Resident Evil, ICO, and Rayman among others.
Rockstar Games has released a new trailer for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V today, and it showcases the various gameplay elements players can experience in the open world environment that is Los Santos.
Rockstar Games have released a new trailer for Grand Theft Auto V, or should I say three new trailers showcasing the game's three main playable characters; Michael, Franklin, and Trevor.
In all the excitement of Sony's PlayStation 4 reveal two weeks ago, it's easy to forget that we still have several months' worth of PS3 games to look forward to! We've already seen the likes of DmC: Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Tomb Raider (to name a few!) this year, but those games were merely the tip of the iceberg of what's still to come.
Grand Theft Auto V's release date has been pushed back a couple months, moving from Spring 2013 to a more definitive September 17, 2013, Rockstar Games announced today.
The reason given for this push back in release date is to allow the team for additional development time. GTA V aims to be the biggest, most dynamic, and most diverse Grand Theft Auto yet with three main characters set in the fictional metropolis of Los Santos.
Rockstar Games has released the much anticipated second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V. In the trailer, we get a good look at the games three playable characters; Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. In typical GTA fashion, there's plenty of fast cars, gunfire, and "extracurricular activities" in Los Santos.
Maybe you're subscribed to Rockstar Newswire, maybe not. Assuming you're not, Rockstar has announced the Rockstar Games Collection Edition 1 is coming packed with four top selling current generation Rockstar games. Are there actually people out there that haven't played these games?
The recent release of LittleBigPlanet on PlayStation Vita has opened the floodgates for massive franchises to appear on the system, with the heavyweights of Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty to follow very soon. The Vita could always do with more games though, so we've been discussing which franchises we'd most like to see on Sony's fledgling handheld.
So-called gaming 'innovations' normally disappear after a few short months, but occasionally they strike a real chord with players and stand the test of time. We've compiled a list of five genuine innovations that have truly revolutionised gaming, and show no signs of going away. And no, this article doesn't include motion controls or instrument-shaped dust collectors.
ESRB ratings were reported about a month ago for Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City Stories for PS3 delivery. Now, the US PlayStation Blogcast crew has confirmed at least that GTA 3 is coming next Tuesday. They also confirmed War of the Monsters will also be downloadable when the Tuesday, 31 July update hits the NA PlayStation Store. Care for some old school slaying; do you prefer humans or monsters?
As much as I'd like one, unfortunately there's no way I can justify, let alone afford, getting a PS Vita right now. Instead of looking upon owners of Sony's latest handheld console with envy (well, to be fair I've been doing that too – obviously), I decided I would simply dust off my old PSP.
Be it real or fake, a blurry photo claimed by the provider to be none other than the map of Grand Theft Auto V surfaced earlier today.
Rumours that Rockstar North are working on a new Grand Theft Auto game have been flying around for a couple of years now. Finally, last week Rockstar confirmed what everyone already knew, and announced Grand Theft Auto V to the world.
Along with the game's announcement came the news that the first trailer would be released on 2nd November. That just happens to be today, and the trailer is live right now!
Rockstar Games quietly revealed what everyone practically already knew; Grand Theft Auto V is currently in the works. They did it by simply updating their www.rockstargames.com website with the logo of the upcoming game, continuing with the Roman numeral numbering of the sequel instead of a subtitle, ala San Andreas.
The website also reveals that the debut trailer for the game will be released next week on November 2nd.
Dedicated super-fans can do some pretty incredible things with the games they love. Inspiration can take one down many different avenues but what happens when the entirety of GTA IV's Liberty City is mapped using Google's handy StreetView application?
It's only been a year since Sega launched Yakuza 3 in the West, so it's no surprise that Yakuza 4 feels very familiar. Do we really need this sequel? Read on to find out…
Believe it or not, the PlayStation 3 was released nearly four years ago, and since then the console has been graced with hundreds of great titles. Therefore, we at PS3 Attitude thought we'd take some time to pay tribute to the people who create the games that make our mundane lives just that little bit more entertaining: the developers.
Over the next few weeks we'll be revealing our one hundred favourite developers, and believe us when we say that there are some incredibly talented teams included. We've now revealed sixty developers in our mammoth list, and today we're revealing ten more.

After a photo went viral of two-year-old Parker Curry, who was awe-struck by the portrait of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery last week, the former first lady met with her in person.
In a video posted to her twitter, Obama danced with Curry to Taylor Swift's song 'Shake It Off'.
"Parker, I'm so glad I had the chance to meet you today (and for the dance party)! Keep on dreaming big for yourself...and maybe one day I'll proudly look up at a portrait of you!" the tweet read.

For my next post, I'd like to talk about the up coming 3D animated movie from Disney, Big Hero 6.
Big Hero 6 is based on a popular Marvel comic with the same name. Now that Disney owns Marvel, makes sense to adapt one of its stories into a full animated movie. It's directed by Chris Williams, Bolt and Don Hall, The princess and the Frog.
Here are some of the posters.
Personally, I think this movie will be amazing. What do you think?
Big Hero 6 opens in theaters on November 7, 2014. HERO 6 Official Website.

Something wrong with that picture
I wake up in the morning and right of the bat my first thought of the day is "I love society". You wanna know why that is people? …….I'll tell you anyway asshole! It's because of all the morons. Every morning I have a ritual. Wake up -> drink tea/eat breakfast -> Go to work -> check my social networks -> ch……wait. Back up a second.
Now the thing about social networks is that you have all your friends and bands and such in one place. So when a picture like this comes along…
I mean….holy shit. It's the ass of the chick from "The ring" or in my country more appropriately "Ghiulu'". Now some of you might think that this is a one time thing. But it's not. I see something like this about 5 times a day. Now what the hell is wrong with this world? I can think of at least 3 things that are wrong with this picture.
2. What the hell is it with the over-sized flowers? (and glitter art in other places. it's like the person has a LITERALLY sparkling personality. Someone light a match)
3. Is….is that a messenger ID on her photo? It is, isn't it? Is this chick so desperate that she's throwing her ID at possible perverts all over the net? This kid had no love from her parents as a child. I'd imagine that she get raped while still in school.
I'm kidding…… BUT REALLY. This is some stupid shit. And for some reason this isn't the only thing I don't get. Others use other moronic means to do the same shit. Like taking photos in mirrors with their phone. Wow. Good job Sherlock. Mommy and daddy don't know that you like posing in your PJs and posting them all over the internet. And more over, the quality of the photo isn't good enough to put on a food stamp.
With something so stupid on the internet every morning it just makes me feel better about being me. Honestly, photos like this make listening to say…..Bjork almost bearable. And that's some scary shit right there. So if you wanna be considered a moron that's crying out for attention just stay away from mirrors while taking photos, stop with the glitter art cause people might think you're dissipating in front of the camera and ask your parents to buy you a normal camera. Phones were never meant to take photos. It's a novelty feature at best.
Oh….and there's this website called Pitzipoanca.ro that has a lot more of these type of people that usually cracks me up. Check it out, laugh your ass off and take notes on what NOT to do in front of a camera.
Cheers ladies and gents.

Whenever you feel like giving up, think about all the people who would love to see you fall. Even the devil doesn't know what to do with a woman like you, the woman who just refused to give up!
Dear Little E,
What a month, so many things are going on – and to make it to the ninth month clean from cutting! You'll never understand how much anger and self hatred you had to take a blade to your own skin and tear it apart! You wanted someone to notice, but as soon as they did notice – you wished they never had. Since then, every time you wanted to cut, you remember the promise you made to them. You acted like it was nothing – but truly ? It was slowly destroying you.
4am knows all of your secrets darling, but with broken wings you'll learn to fly again! I see this girl in the mirror, I wonder who she is, sometimes I think I know her, sometimes I wish I did, There's a heart wrenching story in her eyes, lullabies and goodbye, as she vacantly stares back at me, I can tell she's hurting inside. Don't ask me for my honesty Little E, cos it'll have you in tears. You'll survive though kiddo, because ya know I always did. It's something you could never understand and I can't explain.
I say I don't want to tell you about it, I actually do – but I'm afraid of your reaction – that you'll never see me as an equal again. I'm afraid of the pity in your eyes as you realize how screwed up I am. I don't want to be this way I'm so lonely and lost because all I ever wanted was to be loved, what's wrong with me? I just want to connect, why can't i connect with people?
They all promised you they'd never leave you, but where are they all now? He learned your secrets, the torture you once endured and the stories behind your cuts, scars, burns and flaws and then…. he walked away, just like all the others before him!
Your Father always told you "Be with the man who enjoys your madness, not the idiot who'll force you to be normal". I met a guy about a month ago and he became a good mate to you . I've spent every Sunday evening with him, watching movies, cuddling and talking about everything from life's triumphs to life's pitfalls and everything in between. He showed you the meaning of life and taught you how to love yourself and live again, and the most heartbreaking part of this story? – he has absolutely no idea that he gave you that reason to fight – he saved your life. Last Sunday we were sat on his couch and he traced the scars on my arms and thighs, and looked at me with those piercing eyes as he pulled me close to him "You're so beautiful" I was taken by surprise – most guys see my hideous scars and walk away and he called me beautiful. "If ever you feel that way would you tell me?" I hung my head , a million thoughts raced through my mind. Tears filled my eyes as the eyeliner smeared down my face "what's wrong?" he questioned "Because, I'd rather hurt myself, than anyone else"
It was then that I realized that he has seen me for the woman that I am, not my illness or imperfections. I've always had a thing for the wildflowers, the bad boys I never believed anyone could truly love me. But It was then that I realized he actually sees me for who I am and vice versa. I've come to the realization recently that anyone can make you smile or cry but it takes someone incredibly special to make you smile when you already have tears in your eyes. This is what he has done for you, .It's been a rough month but you've pulled through, people shouldn't love you for your perfection, they should love you for the fact that you're not.
I can't wait to see what the month ahead is going to bring for you! Mental illness may have stole my life, friends, education, motivation, sanity but worst of all it stole me, but not this time I entered the most brutal battle of my own mind and took back the control. Even though the darkened abyss of mental illness stole what should've been the best years of your life you came to realize that you want your own heart breaking story to be an inspiration to others, you want someone to look at you and say "Because of you, I never gave up". Someone once told me that the people who've had horrific pasts ending up creating the best futures.
All in all Little E, this months advice for you: I've come to understand that while I'm in the company of those who don't understand me that I was not put here on this earth to fit in to this chaotic world, I'm here to create my own. I'm searching for the one who'll join me in my crazy, chaotic world and live with my insanity. I am embarking on the most intense journey in this realm and I don't want to wonder alone, I wonder who your soul mate is? I always believed everyone in your life has a reason to be there, whether to be a lesson, a friend or part of your soul family.
Stay strong kiddo. The worlds a scary place but it's you're oyster now and all the opportunities that'll come to you- you have so many people that love and want to support you.
All my love
Emmy 🦋
Nothing that's worthwhile is ever easy, remember that. I don't fight because I hate the situation in front of me, I fight because I love those who are behind me. No one loves the warrior until the enemy is at the gate.

Beans and Lettuce
Thursday, August 21, 2014 Posted by kathy libby

Labels: food, food preparation, garden, natural, vegetables
It has been a banner year for the green beans in the garden.
But then we have always had good luck with them.
Not good enough to freeze any though like this year - and they will taste so good in the winter.
What has been the biggest surprise to me though is the lettuce.
I have never grown it before and really didn't know what to expect with it.
The seeds were so tiny and they needed a major thinning once they all sprouted.
I always thought lettuce was a cool weather crop that didn't like the summer heat.
But I was so wrong.
We have had a continuous supply all summer.
The more I pick it, the more it grows.
I haven't had to buy any lettuce at the market all summer long.
That one little packet of seeds that I bought on clearance at the end of last season has served us well.
I will be sure to make lettuce a staple in the garden each year now - whether we get the seeds on clearance or not.

Hi Ladies,
where is everyone? LOL
ASPOTOFTEA: I'm so glad your twins are doing so great! Your pregnancy was not easy, so you fully deserve a break now!
Your question about the nap: well, I just let him take it whenever he feels like it. At times it's just for 15-20 minutes, other times it can go on for an hour or 1.5 hours. So it varies.
Took him to the peds today. He will need phys therapy for his neck and a helmet. I am relieved now that something will be done about it. I read extensively about the flat head issue and this is the right course of action. Now we pray that the insurance will cover it....
He will start solids now! I am exceited as this means, hopefully longer sleep. He was doing really well before but htis past week was not so good (getting up every 3 hours, as opposed to 5 or 6 before, even 7 and 8 at times!)
Hope everyone is doing well. Can't wait to hear from you all!

Prompt courteous service.
Is this always best to get fast prompt service if it is too fast something is wrong
it is good to have fast care although we ourselves can be our own worst enemy by not
for going into the unknown as they say what you do not know can hurt you.
If you are going for dental care especially there is no such thing as a crown in one week
from a dental lab. All labs have a standard of two weeks minimum if they are coming from
California or Mexico it will take two week's if it gets their sooner I would not be shocked
that it did not come from a dental. This is clear indications its coming from in house and this
could be depending on what dental part it is Cerec crown machines are done in two hours although
this depends upon the dentist doing the work.
Not all dentist will use the same imaging process to make a Cerec crown and there is a large
chance that it may not match your original tooth. This is because a Cerec machine cannot cut
the same anatomy in a tooth as a dental lab can. If the tooth is in the back I would not be too concerned
about it being slightly off although the machine is new technology and cannot do the same quality
as a dental lab can do.

PITY THE POOR TOOTH fairy. Prices are soaring. At the turn of the century, the going rate for a tooth averaged 12 cents; by the '40s, 25 cents. In the '60s it rose to an average of 56 cents, and today the nocturnal spirit has to shell out close to a dollar.
Chicago pedodontist Marvin Berman, who's done an informal survey, reports that though a quarter is the smallest denomination left under a pillow, a dollar's the most common payoff.

The man who stayed at Stephen Gately's house the night he died has claimed they were having a two-year affair. Bulgarian student Georgi Dochev claims his previous statements about meeting the Boyzone singer and his husband Andy Cowles the night before the star's tragic death in October are untrue, as he had been having a long-term sexual relationship with both men.
He admitted: "This is not true. We met more than two years before that night." The student told a radio station in Bulgaria the three of them met regularly for dates and sexual encounters. He said: "Well, we didn't go fishing or go to the library. I did it with both of them."
Dochev has also claimed the men had a "threesome" on the sofa that Stephen was later found dead on. He explained to Darik Radio: "He was very, very drunk, and when he fell asleep on the sofa with his body in a weird position, it did not seem that strange to me.
"We had a threesome on the sofa where Stephen died. Stephen and Andy slept together on the sofa, I fell asleep in the bedroom.
"In the morning Andy went into his room. I noticed some strange spots on Stephen's legs, but I thought it was due to some kind of skin disease."
After Andy returned to his room at their holiday home in Majorca, Dochev has claimed they had sex again shortly before they discovered Stephen's lifeless body.
He added: "Then Andy and I had sex once again in his room. Then we had a shower, and went to Stephen. I took his wrist and he was motionless. I asked Andy to come and check him. Then we saw fluid coming out from his mouth." Stephen died of a previously-undetected heart condition aged 33 on October 10.

Cadmus Communications Announces Flat First Quarter Results
Friday, October 27, 2006
Press release from the issuing companyRICHMOND, Va., Oct. 26 -- Cadmus Communications Corporation today announced results for its first quarter of fiscal 2007. Net sales were $107.3 million on a consolidated basis, essentially flat with $107.2 million in last year's first quarter. Operating income was $4.7 million, income from continuing operations was essentially at a breakeven level, and net income was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share assuming dilution, for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to operating income of $6.9 million, income from continuing operations of $2.2 million, and net income of $2.2 million, or $0.23 per share assuming dilution, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were much improved over those reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. While net sales declined 5% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 to the first quarter of fiscal 2007, reflecting the seasonal softness in the months of July and August, operating income and operating income margins increased across the board from the fourth to the first quarter. Publisher Services operating income more than doubled, as both content services and print services margins were much improved. Specialty Packaging operating income also increased, as operating income margins improved by nearly 200 basis points. On a consolidated basis, adjusted operating income(1) increased nearly 200% from $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 to $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.(2) Operating highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were as follows: * Net sales for the Publisher Services segment increased 5% to $89.1 million from $84.7 million in the prior year first quarter; * Content services sales within the Publisher Services segment rose 8% and print services sales within the Publisher Services segment rose 5% compared to prior year first quarter, reflecting improving trends in new business development activity; * Profitability at the Lancaster site was much improved, with gross profit more than doubling from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. This improved profitability was driven by steady improvement in machine efficiencies and lower overtime expense and spoilage; * Specialty Packaging net sales decreased 19% to $18.2 million and operating margins declined to 8.4% from 10.8% in last year's first quarter; * Total debt decreased by $8.2 million (excluding the fair market value of interest rate swap agreements) despite $5.9 million in capital expenditures primarily in connection with the equipment replacement and consolidation plan. Bruce V. Thomas, president and chief executive officer, remarked, "We are very pleased with the progress we made this quarter. This represents an important and sizeable step forward in our recovery plan. Particularly gratifying was the broad-based improvement we saw from our Publisher Services Group. In this segment, we sustained the top-line growth we have been seeing now for the past several quarters. Most encouraging, however was the significant improvement in the profitability of this group over recent quarters. The positive operating trends at our KnowledgeWorks Global Limited subsidiary in India are positively affecting content services profitability. Much improved performance at our Lancaster site is driving better financial performance there and also permitting our other sites to return to more traditional levels of profitability. As a result, at virtually every Publisher Services site, operating performance improved as did financial performance." Continuing, Mr. Thomas stated, "A significant contributing factor to the improving trends in our Publisher Services Group is the much more experienced leadership team we now have in place. In addition to Peter Hanson, who leads this group, and John Miller, who heads our sales efforts, we have recently added Andy Johnson to head up our manufacturing operations. These new additions, when combined with new and expanded roles for talented executives such as John Grinnell, who heads our content services division, and Atul Goel, who leads our operations in India, are clearly and positively impacting our day to day operating performance for our customers and our financial performance for our shareholders. There is still much work to do in our recovery, but this is clearly a very encouraging start by an increasingly talented team." Paul K. Suijk, senior vice president and chief financial officer, commented "We also are pleased with our debt reduction for the quarter. We reduced total debt by $8.2 million, which puts us slightly ahead in terms of the expected timing of our targeted $15 million in debt reduction for the entire year. Cadmus has long been a business that generates very strong cash flows and this management team has a solid track record of reducing debt. We have invested in our business and will continue to do so. However, we also can and will continue to manage capital spending, working capital and collections in order to achieve significant debt reduction in fiscal 2007. This $8.2 million reduction represents a very positive first step in that direction." First Quarter Operating Results Review Net sales for the first quarter totaled $107.3 million compared with $107.2 million last year. Specialty Packaging segment net sales were $18.2 million, a decrease of 19% from $22.6 million last year, as volume levels returned to more normal levels following an exceptionally strong first quarter in the prior year. Publisher Services segment net sales were $89.1 million, an increase of 5% from $84.7 million last year, as the Company experienced improved revenues from its content-related initiatives in all markets, continued growth in its emerging solutions offerings, and better revenue trends in its printing plants. Adjusted operating income(3) for the quarter was $4.5 million, or 4.1% of net sales in the first quarter, compared to $7.7 million, or 7.2% of net sales last year. Specialty Packaging operating income of $1.5 million, or 8.4% of net sales, was down from $2.4 million, or 10.8% of net sales primarily due to lower overall volume levels as well as increased investment in activities and initiatives in Asia. This segment, however, continues to benefit from higher overall international volume and efficiencies derived from new and more efficient technology and enhancements and expansions to its global capacity and work flows. Publisher Services operating income declined to $4.3 million from $6.6 million last year and operating income margins declined to 4.8% of net sales from 7.8% last year. However, operating income was, as previously discussed, much improved over the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006. The adjusted loss for the first quarter totaled ($0.2) million, or ($0.02) per share, compared to adjusted income of $2.7 million, or $0.28 per share, in last year's first quarter.(4) Cash generated from operations, a refund of $2.6 million from the Internal Revenue Service related to the Mack Printing Company transaction, and the sale of the Ephrata, Pennsylvania real estate following the consolidation into the Lancaster site, offset by the $5.9 million in capital expenditures related primarily to our equipment replacement and consolidation plan resulted in a decrease in total debt of $8.2 million for the quarter, excluding the fair market value of interest rate swap agreements. Outlook Commenting on the Company's outlook for fiscal 2007, Mr. Thomas stated, "We have established an aggressive recovery plan for this fiscal year -- a year in which we are working to deliver Adjusted EBITDA(5) in the range of $53 to $55 million. This first quarter is a big step, but only one step in that direction. If, however, we sustain solid top line growth, obtain the full benefit of the cost savings projected from our equipment replacement and consolidation plan by at least our third quarter, and continue to obtain improved operating performance at Lancaster and our other sites, that aggressive recovery plan remains achievable. We look forward to reporting on continued progress toward that goal in coming quarters."

One of the core concepts of the neo-rationalist (and more broadly pragmatist) camp is that of boot-strapping – that certain capacities or processes, are capable of self-augmentation. While less colloquially discussed in terms of recursion (invoking a functionalist or mathematical context) boot-strapping indexes the material consequence of such activity or, in a related fashion, that […]

Following from my last two posts (1 and 2) I have argued that German Idealism (and this is a fairly common observation) is a non-substantial monism by which the philosopher is set up as a figure of navigation having absorbed skepticism and the subsequent self-conditioning, to create or synthesize in a way that has global […]
