This collection of great inspirational quotes on life can help you gain perspective on various questions, from "what is the good life?" to "what is the meaning of life?"
You can also use life quotes to help you find your purpose.
I included life quotes from a variety of sources including Buddha, Confucius, Dr. Seuss, Emerson, Gandhi, Tony Robbins, and more.
They are all here in your corner to shine a spotlight on life and share their lessons learned on how to live life, love life, find happiness, and live your version of the good life.
What Do You Want Your Life to Be About?
Is life but a dream? … Is life a bowl of cherries? …
Or, is life ultimately what you make of it?
I'm a believer that life is what you make of it. I think one of the best questions you can ask yourself is, "What do you want your life to be about?"
Just by asking that questions sets the stage for learning.
What Inspirational Quotes About Life Teach Us
What can we learn from this collection of inspirational quotes about life?
Here's my take … Life quotes teach you to have a metaphor for life. Whether you see life as a comedy, a drama, a dream, or an an adventure, use whatever works for you.
Life quotes also teach you to grow your happiness right under your feet, live your life, not somebody else's, drive from your life style, don't regret the path not taken, and don't wait until your life is on the line to squeeze all the juice you can out of it.

text: Back Self-Treat? Or See a Doctor? When you're sick, knowing whether you should treat yourself at home or see your doctor can save you time and hundreds, possibly thousands, of dollars a year. For example, you could treat a head cold by taking a $6 over-the-counter (OTC) medication for congestion and cough. The bill just for walking in the door of your doctor's office could be $50 to $80 or more. Even if you only have to pay $10 to $20 in co-pay for an office visit, using an OTC medication still saves you -- not only money, but also time. These tips can help you decide when to self-treat and when to seek medical care. Treat at home Many minor illnesses can be safely treated at home: a cold, influenza, uncomplicated diarrhea, mild stomachaches and headaches, and minor skin rashes and skin fungal infections. You can treat these by getting extra rest and taking appropriate OTC medications. These are cases in which you can probably treat yourself: You don't have a chronic illness or other condition for which you are taking medications You're not very sick Your symptoms are mild and familiar and haven't been going on for very long You ask your pharmacist for advice on which OTC medications to take See a doctor You do need a doctor's care at times, even for everyday health problems. Times when you should see or speak with a doctor: You have a chronic illness or other condition. A cold, the flu, or a stomachache that's getting worse even though you're resting and taking OTC medicine Unusual symptoms that are painful or worrisome A sinus infection, a bad sore throat with a fever, or other symptoms you think may require antibiotics Diarrhea or constipation for longer than a week, bloody diarrhea, or diarrhea with mucus Joint pain that's chronic and affects your normal activities, or joint pain along with redness or swelling of the joint Back pain that's chronic or accompanied by pain that travels down your leg or arm Feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, and depression lasting for at least two weeks An injury you can't treat yourself but that's not an emergency If you decide to see your health care provider, make the most of the visit by giving your doctor a list of your symptoms, including when they began, how they've changed, and if anything you eat or do makes them worse. Doing so can help your provider diagnose and treat you appropriately.

Pardoning Sheriff Arpaio
President Trump's pardon of Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, has drawn predictable responses. The left, which long ago exceeded its sell-by date when it comes to ideas that work, denounced the decision as racist (that's all they have) and a perversion of justice. Some moderates, like Sen. John McCainand Sen. Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, joined the critics.
Arpaio, who is 85, was convicted of disobeying a 2011 federal court order to halt traffic patrols that targeted immigrants. He faced up to six months in prison.
The White House issued a list of reasons for the president's decision, which included Arpaio's age, his service to the country, including enlistment in the military at the start of the Korean War, and his work as a police officer and special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Arpaio's defenders say he was trying to help the federal government identify people in the country illegally. His opponents say he profiled Hispanics only, and thus engaged in racism. Given that Mexicans, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, make up the largest group of unauthorized immigrants, it made sense to focus on this group. That the number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico has been decreasing, matters little, as the number of immigrants from Central America and Asia has increased.
Even critics must acknowledge that any president has sole discretionary authority under the Constitution to pardon anyone for almost anything, except offenses against the United States and curtailing the impeachment process.
It is instructive to review some of the hundreds of pardons delivered by Bill Clinton and Barack Obama when they were president. Many were granted to people whose resumes do not come close to the services rendered to the nation by Sheriff Arpaio.
President Obama issued 70 pardons during his two terms as president. He pardoned minor drug offenders, bank embezzlers, military deserters, and, according to the Chicago Tribune, a young sailor court-martialed and demoted for taking four pounds of butter from his Navy base in 1947.
Bill Clinton's pardon list contained names of people who committed crimes a little more consequential, some even a little suspect. His most notorious pardon was granted to Marc Rich, a major donor to the Clinton campaign. The Rich pardon came during Clinton's last hours in office and was condemned by leading Democrats, including former President Jimmy Carter.
For those with short memories, Rich was indicted in the United States on federal charges of tax evasion and making controversial oil deals with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis. Rich, who fled to Switzerland when he was indicted, never returned to the U.S., and died there in 2013.
Clinton later said he regretted the Rich pardon. Without a hint of irony, he said, "It wasn't worth the damage to my reputation." Most of Clinton's other pardons were far less controversial. They included convictions for bank fraud and "odometer rollback."
The president's pardon of Arpaio is a far cry from those granted by Clinton and Obama. He was correct in sighting Arpaio's age and service to the country among his reasons for granting it. His conviction had political overtones and it is perfectly fitting that the pardon addressed his conviction partially on a political level.
Arpaio reached the same conclusion when he tweeted: "Thank you @realdonaldtrump for seeing my conviction for what it is: a political witch hunt by holdovers in the Obama Justice Department."

Just a short time ago, Federal Judge Ricard Urbina dismissed all charges against five Blackwater contractors who opened fire in a crowded square in Bagdad on September 16, 2007.
From the BBC News service:
District Judge Ricardo Urbina said the US justice department had used evidence prosecutors were not supposed to have.
The five had all pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. A sixth guard admitted killing at least one Iraqi.
The killings, which took place in Nisoor Square, Baghdad, strained Iraq's relationship with the US and raised questions about US contractors operating in war zones.
The disputed evidence consisted of statements the five men gave to State Department investigators shortly after the shootings.
Judge Urbina said prosecutors should not have used those statements in the case, and that the US government's explanation for this was "unbelievable".
The five guards were Donald Ball, Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty, Nick Slatten and Paul Slough – all of whom are decorated military veterans.
As well as the 14 counts of manslaughter, they had faced 20 counts of attempted manslaughter and one count of using a machine gun to commit a crime of violence, a charge that carries a 30-year minimum sentence.
Jeremy Scahill is an investigative reporter who has done more than any other writer to reveal the activities of Blackwater (aka Xe) head Erik Prince and his mercenaries in their roles as contractors for the U.S. government. He is the author of the book, Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army. In October, 2007, Scahill appeared on Bill Moyers Journal to discuss the killings in Bagdad. You can listen to the interview here.
Here is Scahill's blog post on today's outrageous dismissal of the case against the five Blackwater guards.
A federal judge in Washington DC has given Erik Prince's Blackwater mercenaries a huge New Year's gift. Judge Ricardo Urbina dismissed all charges against the five Blackwater operatives accused of gunning down 14 innocent Iraqis in Baghdad's Nisour Square in September 2007. Judge Urbina's order, issued late in the afternoon on New Year's Eve is a stunning blow for the Iraqi victims' families and sends a clear message that US-funded mercenaries are above all systems of law—US and international.
In a memo defending his opinion, Urbina cited a similar rationale used in the dismissal of charges against Iran-Contra figure Oliver North—namely that the government violated the rights of the Blackwater men by using statements they made to investigators in the immediate aftermath of the shooting to build a case against the guards, which Urbina said qualified for "derivative use immunity."
Scahill provides links to the decision a the Judge's 90-page memo explaining it.
In this recent post, Scahill provides statistics for the government's use of private contractors in Afghanistan alone. As of December 17, 2009, according to Scahill, there were "189,000 personnel on the ground in Afghanistan right now—and that number is quickly rising." Other Blackwater employees are deployed in Iraq and have been used by the CIA in Pakistan. They are representing us and are being paid with our tax dollars.
I for one do not want these men representing me. I think it is disgraceful that Blackwater "contractors" are allowed to get away with committing murders in the name of the people of the United States of America.

I discovered Susanna Leonard Hill's blog when I first began writing children's books. I loved her Perfect Picture Book posts and I was even brave enough to submit my pitch for one of her Would You Read It posts. Her Making Picture Book Magic class is one of the best on-line writing courses I've ever taken. And last year, I was thrilled to meet Susanna in person for the very first time at an SCBWI conference! I'm excited to interview her for Writers' Rumpus.
Kirsti Call: My kids and I laughed out loud when we read your two newest books, WHEN YOUR LION NEEDS A BATH and WHEN YOUR ELEPHANT HAS THE SNIFFLES. What was your inspiration?
Susanna Leonard Hill: As many of you probably know, I have 5 children. The inspiration for many of my books comes from them. WHEN YOUR LION NEEDS A BATH was inspired by my daughter who, at 21 months of age, decided baths were the devil's work and could not, under any circumstances, be tolerated! She would literally hyperventilate and run in place in barely ankle deep water refusing to sit down. I can tell you shampoos were a real challenge! 🙂 WHEN YOUR ELEPHANT HAS THE SNIFFLES was inspired by the entire family 🙂 because if you're a parent you well know that when one child gets the sniffles it's only a matter of time before they share it with the whole family! But LION is also about determination and perseverance – not giving up when you don't succeed the first time – and ELEPHANT is also about caring for others – both things that I tried to instill in my kids.
KC: Did you always know that you wanted to write children's books?
SLH: I always knew I wanted to write, but I didn't know exactly what I wanted to write until my daughter was born. With her in my lap, I rediscovered the love of picture books I'd had as a child, and the more I read them to her, the more I knew that was what I wanted to write. I love the whole experience of picture books, as a reader and as a writer.
KC: What is your favorite book that you've written?
SLH: You do realize that's like asking "who's your favorite child?"! 🙂 That is a very tough question! I love PUNXSUTAWNEY PHYLLIS, because Phyllis's personality appeals to me so much. I love CAN'T SLEEP WITHOUT SHEEP because it's silly and fun 🙂 And I love NOT YET, ROSE because I wrote it about my daughter waiting for my son to be born, so it hearkens back to a special time in my life. But I'm pretty keen on the WHEN YOUR stories… the two that are coming out now, and the two that are on their way! And I also really love MILLICENT'S MAGIC, a story I wrote many years ago which has never sold, but which delights me just the same!
KC: What new projects are you working on?
SLH: At the moment, I'm working on two would-be board books (possibly picture books) which the only editor who has seen them felt needed another layer. I am also working on the fourth book in the WHEN YOUR series (WHEN YOUR MONKEYS WON'T GO TO BED) which is already written, but undergoing revision.
KC: Oooooh! I can't wait to read that one! What advice would you give to aspiring kidlit authors?
SLH: I apologize because this question seems to get asked in every interview, and my answer doesn't really change! So sorry, any of you who have read this on another blog post! Although I wish I had something magical, instantaneous and perfect to tell you, my advice is much the same as that of other children's authors.
1. Read a lot of current picture books and get a feel for the market – what's popular, what sells, what appeals to librarians, parents, teachers, and kids.
2. Read books on the craft of writing. Two excellent ones are Ann Whitford Paul's WRITING PICTURE BOOKS and Linda Ashman's NUTS AND BOLTS GUIDE TO WRITING PICTURE BOOKS.
3. Take some writing classes if you can – in real life or online. There are lots of good ones.
4. Write.
5. Write some more.
6. Write some more!
7. Join a critique group – in person or online. Not only will you get valuable objective feedback from your peers, you will get to practice your own evaluative skills by reading and commenting on their manuscripts.
8. Write some more!!
9. Join SCBWI, and follow KidLit411.
10. Don't just sit at your desk all the time. Get out. Do things. Go places. Learn stuff. You never know where ideas might be lurking or what might spark your interest and a possible story. Also, spend time around kids if you can (without being thought creepy 🙂
11. Look around for online communities of interest, including 12×12, Storystorm, ReFoReMo, RhymeRevolution, and the aforementioned KidLit411 (among others) – places where other PB (picture book) writers hang out, share information, and learn from each other.
12. Eat chocolate 🙂
13. Write some more!
Thank you so much for having me here on Writers' Rumpus today, Kirsti, and for taking the time to share my new books! I so appreciate it!
KC: Thank you, Susanna! To read my reviews of WHEN YOUR ELEPHANT HAS THE SNIFFLES and WHEN YOUR LION NEEDS A BATH go here and here!
Susanna Leonard Hill is the award-winning author of more than a dozen books for children. She teaches an online picture book writing class – Making Picture Book Magic – offers picture book critiques, and does frequent school and library visits. She lives in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley with her husband, children, and two rescue dogs.

Usher's gal pal, Grace Miguel, is now calling all the shots in their relationship, sources tell Page Six.
The 43-year-old former Def Jam executive who acts as the hip-hop artist's co-manager and stylist is urging her beau to clear out his staff including stylists, choreographers and tour managers and replace them with her people, an insider says.
Usher's longtime agent, Mark Cheatham of CAA, is the first victim of his much older girlfriend. Usher, 32, started his career with Cheatham and introduced him to teen sensation Justin Bieber, whom he currently represents.
Cheatham was tight-lipped when we contacted him. "I don't know anything about it. I've been with Usher for a long time," he told us. "I've been on great terms with Usher. Talk to my publicist."
A CAA publicist never got back to us, but Usher is no longer listed on their client list.
A source close to Cheatham tells us, "Mark is really upset. He's been with him from the beginning. He thinks Usher will come back, He's just waiting."
Usher has a history of mixing business with pleasure. In 2007, he married his stylist, Tameka Foster, with whom he has two children. He filed for a divorce in 2009. When Foster was at odds with his mother and manager Jonetta Patton, Usher showed his mom the door.
Usher explained to Vibe: "[I paid her] the ultimate compliment — to retire her to be a full-time grandmother."
Now it's Miguel who's apparently got his ear. A source told us, "Usher will do whatever she wants him do right now."
Representatives for Usher and Miguel didn't get back to us after multiple requests for comment.

Usurpation Of Executive Powers The Supreme Court judgement in the Gujarat Lokayukta's case
The judgement of the Supreme Court in the case relating to the appointment of Lokayukta in Gujarat has thrown up two issues ; one relating to the primacy of the Chief Justice of the High Court in the matter of appointment of the Lokayukta virtually rendering all other constitutional authorities otiose, and the second relating to the role of the Governor in the matter of appointment of the Lokayukta. As a member of India's legislature I offer this comment to protest against the usurpation of executive powers of an elected government.
Several states enacted the Lokayukta laws in 1986. The state legislations were based on a draft law circulated by the Centre. The language of the provisions relating to the appointment of Lokayukta is identical in most states. Section 3(1) of the Gujarat Act reads as under :
"For the purpose of conducting investigations in accordance with provisions of this Act, the Governor shall, by warrant under his hand and seal, appoint a person to be known as the Lokayukta.
"Provided that the Lokayukta shall be appointed after consultation with the Chief Justice of the High Court and except where such appointment is to be made at a time when the Legislative Assembly of the State of Gujarat has been dissolved or a Proclamation under Article 356 of the Constitution is in operation in the State of Gujarat, after consultation also with the Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, or if there be no such Leader, a person elected in this behalf by the members of the Opposition in that House in such manner as the Speaker may direct."
The language of the Section is clear. There is no ambiguity. When the language is clear, the rule of strict interpretation must apply. The section envisages the appointment to be made by the Governor. Under our constitutional scheme the Governor acts on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. The role of the Governor is a non-activist one. The consultation, therefore, in the name of the Governor has to be made by the Council of Ministers through the Chief Minister. It is the Chief Minister who has to consult the Chief Justice of the High Court and the Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly.
There are four constitutional authorities involved in the process. The Chief Minister must consult the Chief Justice; he must consult the Leader of Opposition. He must then forward the recommendation to the Governor who must act on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. The role of the Governor is minimal. The Chief Justice and the Leader of Opposition are a part of the consultation process with the Chief Minister.
This scheme was enacted as a part of the constitutional mechanism where the Governor, the Opposition and the Chief Justice are a part of the consultation process. The key instrumentality in the consultation is the Chief Minister. He has to engage in the consultation. The Governor is the fourth agency who must grant approval on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. The constitutional mandate of separation of powers is intrinsically a part of the constitutional balance which is maintained between the different organs of the state. The interpretation given by the Supreme Court to the "consultation" with the Chief Justice now implies that there is a primacy of the opinion of the Chief Justice.
A reading of the judgement of Supreme Court not only gives to the Chief Justice's opinion a primacy, it gives it an 'exclusivity' thereby rendering the role of the Chief Minister and the Leader of Opposition completely redundant and otiose. The Supreme Court has observed: "The purpose of giving primacy to the opinion of the Chief Justice is for the reasons that he enjoys an independent status and also because the person eligible to be the Lokayukta is from the retired judges of the High Court, the Chief Justice is therefore the best person to judge suitability for the post… . The Chief Justice has primacy of the opinion in the said matter. The non acceptance of such recommendation by the Chief Minister remains 'insignificant'. Thus it clearly emerges that the Governor under section 3 of the Act, 1986 has acted upon the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. Such a view is taken considering the fact that section 3 of the Act 1986 does not envisage unanimity in the consultative process."
As a part of India's legislative and political process I seriously disagree with the observations of the Supreme Court. The Act framed by the Legislature does not give any primacy to the opinion of the Chief Justice. The fact that the Chief Justice is an independent constitutional authority does not imply that the Chief Minister or the Leader of Opposition have no constitutional or statutory role particularly when the power to be exercised is an Executive function and not a Judicial one. There is no presumption that the Chief Justice alone is the best judge with regard to the performance of retired judges. Quite to the contrary, the system of judges alone appointing judges and the judges alone judging judges has not worked satisfactorily in India. Many regard it as a failed system. The demand for a broad-based National Judicial Commission is legitimate and logical. It is based on the experience of the system that the existing system of judges appointing judges and judges alone judging judges is not the best system available. There are other relevant inputs which can be made by the other constitutional authorities. The Legislature envisages that these constitutional authorities are to be a part of the consultation process. Their role is of an equal participant and not 'insignificant'. The judgement has evolved the role of the Chief Justice from being privy to the consultation process to one of 'primacy' and eventually to 'exclusivity' thus rendering role of the other constitutional authorities as 'insignificant'. The judgement does not stop at that. The direct letter of the Chief Justice to the Governor without an accompanying aid and advice of the Council of Ministers is now treated as the aid and advice of the council of ministers since the consultation process does not envisage a unanimity. So insignificant is the role of Council of Ministers that its' dissent is treated as an aid and advice to the Governor.
The net and inevitable consequence of the reasoning offered by the judgement is that the opinion of the Chief Justice of the High Court prevails. The opinion of the other constitutional authorities such as the Chief Minister, the Leader of Opposition is not relevant. They are unsuitable to give an opinion on retired judges. Only judges can opine on judges.
The Judgement creates an imbalance in the separation of powers. The Executive function where the Chief Justice is a participant in the consultation process is converted into a process where it becomes the sole prerogative of the Chief Justice of a High Court to nominate the Lokayukta. The Chief Minister's role as nucleus of the consultation process is eliminated. The Chief Justice's letter to the Governor is a substitute for the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. Needless to say that the same logic will apply to the opinion of the Leader of Opposition in the consultation process.
The judgement will have a direct impact on the constitution of the Lokpal. The Select Committee of the Rajya Sabha in clause 4 has recommended a collegium comprising the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, the Chief Justice of India or his nominee judge and an eminent jurist to be a collegium which will appoint the Chairperson and Members of the Lokpal. If the present reasoning of the Supreme Court is correct, the Prime Minister, the Speaker of Lok Sabha, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and an eminent jurist will be silent spectators on the collegium because the opinion of the Chief Justice of India would get primacy and exclusivity for the appointment of the chairperson and members of the Lokpal. This obviously is not the intention of the law-makers. The Parliament should re-visit this provision. There cannot be a broad-based mechanism for appointment of the Lokpal. By judicial interpretation the courts will eliminate the role of other constitutional authorities and give to themselves the exclusive power. I would not like to undermine the judicial institution, similarly I am also not willing to allow the usurpation of the role of the Legislature or the elected government in administrative matters. The role of the judiciary is to interpret the law and decide cases. In the matter of administrative appointments they cannot widen their own jurisdiction and eliminate the role of the Legislature or the Executive.
The Governor
The Governor of Gujarat admittedly acted in an unconstitutional manner. She wanted to usurp the authority of the elected government. The relevant observation of the Supreme Court with regard to the Governor reads as under:-
"The Governor's opinion stated in her letter dated 3.3.2010 to the effect that that she was not bound by the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers and that she had the exclusive right to appoint the Lokayukta, is most certainly not in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution. It seems that this was an outcome of an improper legal advice and the opinion expressed is not in conformity with the Rule of law. The view of the Governor was unwarranted and logically insupportable… . It appears that the Governor has been inappropriately advised and thus mistook her role as a result of which she remained under the impression that she was required to act as a statutory authority under the Act, 1986 and not as Head of the State. Moreover, the advice of the Attorney General was based on the judgement of this Court referred to hereinabove. The Chief Minister was also aware of each and every development in this regard."
The Governor had decided to act on her own. There was no aid or advice offered to her by the Council of Ministers with regard to the appointment of a particular person as the Lokayukta. The dissenting opinion of the Council of Ministers has become the aid and advice to the Governor. The judgement is based on this paradox. Gujarat will now have a Lokayukta whom the Council of Ministers never recommended. Constitutional short-cuts do not establish either good governance or good precedents.

Recommended tests for a
sheltie being considered as a breeding prospect:
Test for hip dysplasia - a crippling, degenerative, hereditary disorder resulting in
disintegration of the hip joint in dogs. By age two, all adult dogs need to have hips x-
rayed for hip dysplasia. Most people use OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) which
has a web site at www.offa.org. Some people do prelim x-rays at 6 months. Most vets can
do these. Approximate cost: (depending on location) $250 to $500 for x-rays, office visit
and registration with OFA.
Test for vonWillebrand's Disease - a hereditary bleeding disorder found in many dogs
whether purebred or mixed. Von Willebrand's Disease or vWD is a DNA test. If you are
breeding dogs genetically clear of vWD, then you don't have to do the puppies. This can
be done at any time in a dog's life. contact Vetgen at 1 800 4vetgen for info. They have a
web site. Approximate cost: $125
Thyroid problems, can also be an issue. There are some good indicators if your dog has a problem: loss of hair, excessive weight that you can not get to come off. Thyroid is an area many sheltie breeders opinions very on. Some test for this but some don't. Because if the dog has a problem they will show it outwardly as a stated above. Loss of hair, excessive weight, and inability to produce.
Sheltie eye problems - PRA or progressive retinal atrophy, collie eye syndrome, and
sheltie eye syndrome, can result in blindness. Eye exams must be done by a board
certified veterinary ophthalmologist. The results if sent in to CERF (Canine Eye Registry
Foundation) will appear on OFA web site and on AKC papers for one year. Early tests are
for collie eye or CEA. Later tests are for various forms of PRA or progressive retinal
atrophy and sheltie eye syndrome. Approximate cost $250.

How to Eat Sustainably
Eco-Friendly Eating Habits For Earth Day
Earth Day is tomorrow, and it always serves as a good reminder to rethink our eating habits and cooking practices. There are so many small changes that we all can make in our everyday lives that, over time, significantly impact the world that we live in. While we may not be able to implement all of these changes all the time, it is important to consider how our actions affect the bigger picture. Keep reading to find out how you can make a difference.
When possible, choose pasture-raised meat.
Aside from the significant health benefits over conventionally raised meat, pastured animals also contribute to the environment in a positive way. They help to fertilize the soil and don't rely nearly as much on fossil fuels or synthetic feed. Pastured animals don't spawn the same massive waste-management dilemma that occurs in huge conventional feedlots. Grazing animals also promote the return of native plant species.
Support local farms.
Supporting local farms can do wonders for the environment and the local economy. Food does not have to endure long journeys (and the chemical washes that come with them) that eat up fuel. You might even consider joining a CSA (community supported agriculture). A CSA membership directly supports the farm, and you get fresh, seasonal, local produce in return. These can be pricey sometimes, but many offer different levels of memberships to meet your needs. If you're not ready for that kind of commitment, then frequent your local farmers markets.
Invest in reusable kitchen products.
Fortunately, it's currently really trendy to be eco-friendly, and there are loads of stylish products just waiting to be purchased. We're big fans of bamboo cutting boards, reusable water bottles, and even simple mason jars.
Eat seasonally.
There are myriad reasons why eating seasonally is the way to go. The environmental benefits are undeniable, and it goes hand in hand with supporting local farms and farmers. But the fact remains: seasonal produce is far more flavorful and delicious.
Consider adopting Meatless Mondays.
One of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to limit the amount of meat you eat. Meatless Mondays are a fun way to go about it. There are so many satisfying and nutritious meat-free recipes. We promise you won't be bored.

Their grocer design and style and look will greatly depend on the specific organization that the shop is functioning in. Maybe you personal a store that provides modern day modern furnishings. You could possibly advantage greatly by using cup shop fittings as a way of decorating, probably together with more traditional accessories, using the merge delivering a great distinction for the store guests. In other retailers, perhaps a well used carpeting store, its unlikely that glass retailer accessories would actually be that helpful while they might not be needed as well as in company its essential to not overstretch yourself on producing unessential transactions that don't actually add more any worth to the business.

Usually developers can get maintained away with the method but by keeping a detailed vision around the procedures you may place a stop to in excess of the very best transactions and enable that issues remain tasteful and never tacky.

"I didn't think e-book readers would ever catch on until an 83-year-old relative of mine got one. He swears by it. And he can barely e-mail!"
MICHAEL SMITH (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL PUBLISHING FORUM): It's true, they're really taking off. It's because they're getting so much easier to use.
Why not just read a book the old-fashioned way? What's the advantage of an e-book reader?
Portability, the ability to save space, and even privacy. It's about the size and weight of a slim hardback--but some can hold more than 200 books. All the books are digital, so you don't have to worry about crowding your bookshelves. And if your guilty pleasure is, let's say, Louis L'Amour western novels--and that's my guilty pleasure, I've read dozens--no one, not even your significant other, will know how many you're downloading or what you're reading.
More From House Beautiful
And the disadvantages?
You can break or lose them.
Are they really that easy to use?
Yes, just plug them into your computer with a USB cable, like you would your digital camera, and download an entire book in about a minute. The cost is typically under ten dollars a book.
Any kind of book?
Thousands and thousands in every category you can imagine. Including audio books.
What about reading on a screen? Isn't that strange?
It takes a little getting used to. But once you get immersed in the story, your awareness of the technology just flows away.
There are so many readers on the market now! Where to begin?
The most popular are the Sony Reader sony.com.], iLiad irextechnologies.com, Cybook bookeen.com, and Kindle amazon.com. They cost between $300 and $600, and mostly look similar--white, gray, or black with a 5- or 6-inch screen. The screen is crisp and the type is black and white, so it resembles an actual printed page. There's no glare, and if you want bigger type, you can change the font size. You can also flip through and bookmark pages. You can even read in direct sunlight.
Any big differences?
Kindle doesn't require a laptop or extra software. It'll download books without a cable wherever you are. You can also get newspapers automatically delivered to your Kindle every morning. It's made by Amazon, so you can only download material from Amazon.com--but luckily their inventory is huge. I don't know the iLiad as well, but it has great features. You can write on it--it allows you to make notes and underline text--and you can even sketch or draw. One really big advantage of the Cybook is that you can purchase a no-hassle replacement plan in case of accidental damage.
Which one do you use?
A Sony Reader. It feels very comfortable in my hands. The controls are right where my hands naturally rest when I am reading a book. And it weighs about 9 ounces, which is an average weight.
Are there any kinds of books that don't work with an e-book reader?
This technology isn't particularly friendly to anything illustration-heavy, like design books. The screens are relatively small, and they're black and white.
Once I have my reader home, where should I shop for books?
There are large selections at two sites: fictionwise. com and booksonboard. com. There are two other Web sites I would recommend to anyone exploring what to buy and how to use e-book readers--teleread. org and mobileread.com. They have news, reviews, and blogs about the various e-book readers on the market or new ones coming out. I check those sites daily. In my line of work, in such a fast-changing industry, I'm always running to keep up with what's new. *

CEO says Entergy will thrive on industrial boom
Entergy Corp. CEO Leo Denault is predicting above-average growth in the next five to 10 years, thanks to an industrial boom along the Gulf Coast powered by low natural gas prices.
"We see a growing utility with a significant amount of opportunity in terms of the industrial renaissance we see taking place in the Gulf South," Denault said Friday at the company's annual meeting in Jackson.
New Orleans-based Entergy has counted 85 announced industrial projects worth $65 billion across its territory in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas.
Many rely on natural gas, but Denault says Entergy can sell large amounts of electricity to new and expanding industries.
He said the company hopes to acquire customers who will use as much as 2,500 megawatts, which would represent nearly 10 percent of the company's current 30,000 megawatts of generating capacity.
That could spark a need to build new power plants, Denault told The Associated Press in an interview after the meeting. But he said the company would be able to hold off longer than it otherwise would because of its membership in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator. That regional transmission organization directs electricity flows to try to match up supply and demand at the lowest cost.
MISO and another regional transmission group, Southwest Power Pool, are locked in a dispute over electricity that MISO has been sending over SPP's grid. SPP, based in Little Rock, Ark., says MISO should pay for moving the power, while MISO says the entities have an agreement that allows either to ship power over the other's grid at no cost.
For now, MISO has limited power shipments to 1,000 megawatts per day, the capacity of the only power line that ties Entergy to MISO's original Midwest territory. In a power auction for Entergy territory, prices rose, which MISO attributed to the limit.
Despite disputes, Denault said he believes Entergy ratepayers will reap the full projected benefits of the company joining Indiana-based MISO. That's because Entergy projected $1.4 billion in benefits based only on the 1,000-megawatt line, Denault said.
After regulators rejected Entergy's plans to spin off its transmission system to ITC Holdings, the company now plans to spend $1.7 billion to upgrade its high-voltage wires.
Denault said Entergy ratepayers would be asked to pay for that investment.
Shareholders Friday also rejected proposals to force Entergy to shut down its Indian Point nuclear plant in Buchanan, N.Y., or to require the company to issue twice-yearly nuclear safety reports.
March Gallagher, who traveled from New York to ask fellow shareholders to close Indian Point, said the nuclear plant is vulnerable to terrorism, earthquakes and hurricanes.
"It is in the long-term financial and reputational interests of Entergy to begin decommissioning Indian Point," Gallagher said.
Last year, Entergy said it would shut down its Vermont Yankee nuclear plant.
Denault said Indian Point is "the most significant asset" in Entergy's wholesale electricity business and said it's crucial that it get relicensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Apologies if it's been done here before, I seem to remember it on the old forum, but who do the F1F readers think is the best one-time champion (excluding current drivers Hamilton and Button), and how do they compare to others?11th September 2010, 18:14 at 6:14 pm #144304IcthyesParticipant
In before three million Kimi votes.
If not the best ever, I'd say the best for a long while back would be Nigel Mansell. I'd pick him even over Damon Hill, my first F1 idol, simply because there was something a little more special about our Nige. Damon could pull performances from nowhere sometimes and was a lot like Button is today, but Nigel had more natural speed and there had quite a few breathtaking overtaking manoeuvres to his name. The guy could have been a 3-times champion easily and it's a shame his only one had to come at the wheel of a ridiculously dominant car, which has provided fodder for his detractors ever since.
Going way back, I'd say John Surtees. Still the only man to have ever won both the F1 and Grand Prix Motorcycle (what we'd call MotoGP now). Jochen Rindt deserves a mention but we'd never know if his potential would have come through (he was going to retire a world champion anyway before he died)11th September 2010, 18:45 at 6:45 pm #144305AnonymousInactive
Jochen Rindt. Blindingly quick with supreme car control.
A few other mentions:
Hawthorn was always under rated in my opinion. If he could take on Fangio on a couple of occassions and win then that's good enough for me! I think his personality often took attention from his racing talent.
Mansell. He took on Nelson Piquet who I regard as one of the best ever and in their partnership for me, he was the better racer. It didn't matter what happened he would keep coming back and could sometimes pull out something special and always put in supreme overtakes.
I think JV was better than I gave him credit for. I always disliked him but I rated him slightly more than Hill (although on his day Hill was tough to beat) but he made the big mistake with BAR.11th September 2010, 18:48 at 6:48 pm #144306AnonymousInactive
Mario Andretti or John Surtees. Andretti won in almost every category he participtaed in.11th September 2010, 18:48 at 6:48 pm #144307AnonymousInactive
Otherwise I'd say Mansell too.11th September 2010, 19:25 at 7:25 pm #144308TommyBParticipant
I guess Mansell because he almost one the title a few times and was unlucky.11th September 2010, 19:30 at 7:30 pm #144309GeorgeParticipant
Mansell for me. If Hamilton doesn't win another championship (which seems unlikely), then he'll take the honours.11th September 2010, 23:16 at 11:16 pm #144310KevinCParticipant
In the same vein as Mansell, Kimi is unlucky not to be a triple WDC. As a driver, he had everything, but its a shame that he didn't have the desire of someone like MSC or Senna.11th September 2010, 23:37 at 11:37 pm #144311Keith CollantineKeymaster
I think I'd have to say Mansell. With better luck (especially in 1986 and 1987), or not being around at the same time as Prost/Senna/Piquet, he might easily have been a multiple champion.12th September 2010, 0:34 at 12:34 am #144312plushpileParticipant
I think I have to agree with the consensus and say Mansell. He was runner up 3 times, and but for a blown tyre would have been (at least) a twice WDC…
Jochen Rindt would go close, as we never got to see all he could do.12th September 2010, 1:59 at 1:59 am #144313JourneyerParticipant
In terms of F1 alone, I would agree that Mansell gets the nod.
But in terms of motorsport in general, I don't see how you can't give it to Mario Andretti. Won titles in F1 and CART, and even won races in NASCAR, IIRC. He makes Montoya look a bit second-rate in versatility, IMO.12th September 2010, 3:01 at 3:01 am #144314wasiF1Participant
I say ICEMAN12th September 2010, 10:15 at 10:15 am #144315jihelleParticipant
James Hunt: He had it all. Charisma, unbelievable driving skills, and to see him winning with the Hesketh against established team was exhilarating. The end of his driving career was less than stellar but he then became a very good TV commentator. Otherwise I'd say Hill, Rosberg and Jones: No one would have bet a dime on them but they fought against all odds to become world champions (and they all did it on a Williams for that matter…)12th September 2010, 13:43 at 1:43 pm #144316Dan ThornParticipant
Between Mansell and Rindt for me. Sadly we never got to see more of Rindt but he was an outstanding driver and gets overlooked far too often.
Denny Hulme is also massively underrated in my opinion.12th September 2010, 18:40 at 6:40 pm #144317James_mcParticipant
This thread has actually alerted me to the fact that Williams have never had a driver win two championships with them!

Andersen auditing FBI-FBI investigating Andersengreenspun.com : LUSENET : Exposing Rightwing Corruption : One Thread
Delusions of Sanity
Arthur Andersen's Contract to Audit FBI Unaffected by Mounting Evidence of Criminal Activity
Michael C. Ruppert
[Copyright 2002, From The Wilderness Publications and Michael C. Ruppert,
All rights reserved. May be reprinted, copied, distributed or posted on the internet for non-profit purposes only.]
FTW, January 15, 2002 ? In the exploding popcorn mix of new Enron investigations, increasingly focusing on possible criminal misconduct by accounting giant Arthur Andersen, a Justice Department spokesperson has told FTW that a contract for Andersen to review sensitive FBI management and recordkeeping procedures has been unaffected.
Recent statements by Senators Joseph Lieberman (D?CT) and Russ Feingold (D-WI) indicating that investigations of Andersen may turn criminal, and a January 14 commentary by CNN?s Lou Dobbs indicating that the scandal may put the company out of business, raise serious questions about the Department of Justice?s contract calling for Andersen to ?review the FBI?s management practices, including recordkeeping, technology and human resources issues,? as described in an August 29, 2001 story by reporter Kellie Lunney on the website www.GovExec.com. This is especially relevant since FBI agents will themselves be investigating Andersen in newly announced DoJ probes related to Enron.
The Gov Exec story, relying on documents from the Federal Register, detailed that, ?In July, Justice and FBI officials revealed that more than 400 weapons and 180 laptop computers ? including some holding sensitive and classified information ? were missing from the agency. The FBI has faced harsh criticism over the last few months, most notably for its failure to turn over all documents to lawyers for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, a controversy that resulted in a temporary postponement of McVeigh?s execution.?
In August, Attorney General John Ashcroft authorized the creation of a special commission to evaluate years of serious and well-documented FBI lapses ranging from mishandling of key evidence in the crime lab, as exposed by FBI whistleblower Fred Whitehurst, to the loss of sensitive intelligence materials. Commission members include former CIA Director William Webster, former Secretary of Defense William Cohen, former House Speaker Tom Foley and former HUD Secretary and U.S. Trade Rep Carla Hills.
According to the GovExec story, ?All of the commission?s meetings will be closed to the public to protect sensitive information? according to a July 16 memo from the Justice Department.? The key question is, ?Information sensitive to whom, that might damage whose interests??
DoJ spokesman Brian Sierra indicated on January 14, that the issue of Andersen?s contract, which would give them access to many of the FBI?s most sensitive files, has not yet been raised in the wake of the rapidly evolving Enron debacle. ?As of this moment the contract is still in effect,? said Sierra. I can?t speak to the issue and I don?t think the question has been brought up at Justice.?
Spokespersons for Andersen, headquartered in Chicago, did not return an FTW call asking for comment.
The obvious conflict of interest could not come at a worse time for an Administration that is frantically attempting to get ahead of the Enron scandal. It also comes at a time when the impartiality of other government agencies including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the General Accounting office is called into question because of the past relationships of the heads of those two agencies with the embattled accounting firm. Harvey Pitt at SEC once represented Andersen in his private law practice. GAO chief David Walker is a former board member at Andersen whose tenure there ended in late 1998, long after the time period in which Andersen has been implicated in the falsifications of Enron?s financial statements which began in 1997.
Walker?s former partners may now become the subject of criminal probes by the FBI, the SEC and the GAO. Unlike the SEC and the FBI, the GAO is known as the investigative arm of Congress ? the same Congress which is now representing itself to be the champion of the public interest. Headed by Walker in the Comptroller General position, the GAO remains one of the last defensible positions that the government ? both the White House and the Congress ? can offer as a statement of government credibility to an increasingly cynical population.
The notion that Andersen could now be trusted to investigate the FBI and gain access to information that would damage the FBI?s credibility and possibly be traded off for softer handling for its own actions stretches the imagination to the breaking point and beyond. Congress and the administration need to understand that by failing to walk the most perfect of lines with Enron and Andersen they risk the credibility of the entire government and not just the Bush White House.

For Patagonia, it's all about the love of the wild and beautiful places, coupled with a need to participate in the fight to save them. Patagonia's mission statement is "Build the best product. Cause no unnecessary harm. Inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis." They refelct that in their athletic products by taking hold of the means of production. Patagonia sources its cotton from organic growers and has voluntarily submitted its manufacutring processes to a high, independent, international standard. By closely monitoring and controlling what the clothing is made of, and how it is made, Patagonia can honestly say that it makes a better product, because it's better for you, the customer. Years ago, before Patagonia embraced such exacting standards, the sales associates in a new store in a renovated bulding with poor ventilation began complaining about headaches and other ailments. It was determined that the cause was the formaldehyde and other chemicals used to make the t-shirts. The vapors alone were making people sick. Rather than just fix the ventilation and go about their business Patagonia stepped back and looked at everything they were doing. From there they have set an example for the enire performance and outdoor lifestyle industry. There is no better product in terms of performance and quality than Patagonia.

Mr. Krause, Mrs. McCumber, and Ms. Wilcox informed me today that he would like to complete Common Craft type videos on the iPad because, as he states it, "I like the explanation aspect".
I immediately thought, "This could be a great opportunity to create the entire video on the iPad."
I chose a drawing app, specifically Draw-n-Share Lite because of its paper feel, and it was free!
I also chose Explain Everything because it is the tool that best provides a canvas. I thought of Lee and his "four 750 watt bulbs" that he uses for shooting video. We don't have that! Explain Everything removes the additional equipment that is needed while still providing a great production canvas. View the process!
I also liked Explain Everything, because I could write a script for each slide, thus stating clearly what was to be spoken on each slide. I used Evernote, but any tool, including paper and pencil, could be utilized.
With ONLY one hour into the project, I was able to make the following Producing Muscles In Plain English.
In one week, I look forward to viewing what the students create.

More Interviews
So I'm back and losing it. Thanks, everybody for all the good vibes. Interview one went reasonably well, I think, despite my missing the flight and just about having a nervous breakdown traveling on standby. Really liked the people and the department. Campus really cool. Town not bad -- rust belty, but ok. Rumour has it that property taxes are really high, but changes in ADM's personal circumstances make it highly unlikely that she will be doing more than renting for some time. I have one interview next week -- must send unselected primary source this week. And -- woohoo! an interview for the only local TT job the week after. I can happily say that each position has its own ups and downs, and I'd take any of them at this point, but also need to send in a couple more apps this week.
New classes are mad. No more new preps for a while, please. And yes, I'm thinking about that panel for Kazoo -- have a possible third person who might be able to pull together a paper on Alcuin and monastic things. I need to look over my diss and see what I can do in that vein -- a great deal of it is on monastic donors, but I need to check out a book that came out at about the same time as my diss (I think I started first ... just took a long time to finish) that deals with some of the same sources. So maybe I can do it as a "revisited" kind of thing?
But must concentrate on new class and jobs first. No, I'm not totally freaking out.
D'oh -- how about the excerpts from Pliny and Trajan's correspondence at the Fordham site? It's got administrative stuff and Christians. And doesn't need much in the way of context ...
