Best way to make a contact for your business!
The only time you would ever think about contacting a local business is when you require their product or service.

The following paragraphs will focus on the various key essential points and useful suggestions in relation to workplace legalities in Australia specifically. This is often particularly significant given the fact that of January 1st 2010 professionals and business owners in the Australian workplace structure are covered by the great new National Employment Standards (NES).
Goal of creating such nationwide legalities was obvious; it is to bring each of the awards along with individual contract underneath of the exact same umbrella having the entire workplace system more simple for both employees and employers. It renders the entire employment space a more level playing field.
These new employment laws work on workplace discrimination, unfair dismissal, minimum entitlements inclusive of annual, personal and other leave, public holidays, notice of termination and redundancy compensation.
Given that the majority of enterprises already have regular attorneys who assist them with commercial, employment and other concerns, let's consider these workplace standards coming from the staff perspective.
When Does a Person Need An Employment Lawyer?

It really is just as possible that you misinterpreted the details accessible as it is for the employer to have made a omission and needs to adjust your contract or conditions. It also happens to be quite common that your manager or the department head is not entirely familiar with the existing statutes so they ought to be given a chance to respond.
It is best to resolve disputes and misunderstandings internally. This way, a win-win outcome is more plausible. Both employer and employee preserve their virtue and good track record complete.
There are nonetheless times when employment lawyers ought to be engaged by either side. Typically, and unless you already know a good workplace lawyer, it's best to stick with the law firm that specialises in employment law. They have all the recent data and fresh court of law rulings that will actually help them be helpful to you. Do not forget that any organization is only as good as the team members employed by it.

Q: Reg Free COM Interop not working under XP We are using a major piece of software in our company that has been written in VB6 and is too large to migrate. Furthermore we have some old Windows XP PCs that are still being used (no argument, its not my decision). We want to add new functionality to our VB6 program by using VB.NET assemblies. This is working fine for Win Vista and upwards, but XP is behaving erratically.
What I have tried:
I've created a Class Library in VB .NET. Made it COM-Visible and registered it for com-interop.
I've targeted .NET Framework 4.0 (tried 2.0 also)
I've then created a simple class with a simple function for testing purposes:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
<Guid("b98ddfd4-f6bc-40d4-85eb-5bd45c272325")> _
Public Interface Class1_Interface
Function MyFunction(ByVal MyParam As String) As Boolean
End Interface

<Guid("0bbee3db-88e3-4089-adc1-f5a0cf9e1fda")> _
<ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)>
Public Class Class1 : Implements Class1_Interface

Public Function MyFunction(ByVal MyParam As String) As Boolean Implements Class1_Interface.MyFunction
Try
MyFunction = True
Catch ex As Exception
MyFunction = False
Dim FunctionName As String = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name
End Try

End Function
End Class

I've compiled it for X86.
Then I added a reference to it in VB6 and used this simple code in VB6
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim x As New Class1
MsgBox (x.MyFunction(""))
End Sub

Then I created a manifest and embedded it:
mt.exe -managedassemblyname:testDLL.dll -nodependency -out:testDLL.manifest
mt.exe -manifest testDLL.manifest -outputresource:testDLL.dll;#1
Then I created a manifest for the exe  containing only the most basic information necessary (Type="win32", name, version, processorarchitecture and an assembly block with name, processorarchitecture and version) and an appconfig for the .Net Framework 4 stuff with (I get the same errors with my Framework 2.0 dlls, so this should be irrelevant)
When I execute my VB6 exe in anything higher than XP everything works fine. When I try it on XP I get runtime error '429' Activex component can't create object
The strange thing is, I have a much more complex dll created exactly the same way, just with more functions, using report viewer and sql. Yet this complex dll works fine. The only relevant difference I can find is that it uses a WinForm as a class. Not sure why that should make a difference, but as I said, it is all the same ways of declaring interfaces and classes, creating manifests and whatnot.
I have no idea what to do anymore. I don't know what makes that single DLL work and everything else not.

Home Member Modifications Prius Pictures Dealers w/Cars Links
Mileage tax proposed for state's drivers Opponents include privacy advocates and owners of hybrid vehicles.
By HANH KIM QUACH The Orange County Register
John Luster of Orange piloted his new silver Toyota Prius 300 miles up to the Sequoia National Park earlier this month, using just six gallons of gasoline.
Had Luster driven his Acura Integra, he would have used twice as much fuel - and paid twice as much gas tax.
But what's good for Luster (and the environment) is bad for state highway funds: The state got half as much tax revenue to deal with the same amount of wear and tear on the roads.
It's a looming problem as hybrids become more popular, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's government-reform commission has come up with a solution: Tax motorists based on the miles they drive, not the amount of gas they consume.
The idea from the California Performance Review is just that at this point: an idea. It would have to go through extensive debate to come to fruition.
But it's not at all far-fetched. Oregon will do a test run of such a "vehicle- miles traveled" system next year.
The plan, which still requires legislative approval there, would put a $100 global- positioning-system device in every new car in Oregon. The device would beam drivers' in-state mileage to a satellite, which would then send the information to the service station where the driver is refueling so the proper tax can be levied at the pump.
Three hundred drivers will be monitored for six months next year in the Eugene area in the pilot project. The U.S. Department of Transportation, Utah, New York and now California are closely watching for the results.
The proposal here raises a number of concerns: One is that it could discourage drivers from buying fuel-efficient cars. Another is that it could open the door to state surveillance of motorists.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS The California Performance Review Commission recommends developing a pilot project to test whether the state could levy a user fee based on how uch each driver uses roads. The report suggests a fee of .1 cents per mile traveled.
"You're setting up a system of surveillance allegedly to aid with taxation," said Annalee Newitz, policy analyst for the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation. "This is incredibly invasive."
This door has already been opened, though - sometimes by motorists themselves.
Security and convenience have already prompted thousands to mount trackable electronic devices in their vehicles.
LoJack security devices, mini radio transceivers mounted on an automobile, can be activated by authorities when a vehicle is stolen. Toll transponders and radio-frequency identifications help commuters pay tolls on the fly. And OnStar, the 24-hour help line, locates a vehicle using a global-positioning system and gives live assistance when drivers are lost or need help.
By and large, however, these technologies are used voluntarily.
James Whitty, who heads the Oregon pilot project for the state's transportation department, maintains the GPS would detect only whether the car is inside or outside of Oregon and how many miles it has traveled in state - not its every movement.
"There are people who hear 'GPS,' and they think it's some exotic military device," said Whitty, who said the state will not have the ability, or desire, to monitor drivers' traveling habits. The Oregon device would be a "glorified compass," he said.
Joan Borucki, chief deputy director at the California Transportation Commission and a member of the California Performance Review team that made the recommendation here, insists the device could not track residents' whereabouts.
"The bottom line is, they couldn't tell where these people have been. That's just not going to be there," she said.
The key question for some is what happens with the data the state does collect. The answer in the case of toll-collection devices already in use is that it can end up in the hands of law enforcement.
Motorists in Orange County, for example, can use FasTrak transponders mounted on their windshields to pay tolls on the Eastern, San Joaquin and Foothill toll roads. The FasTrak application tells them, "Your account information is only used by the toll roads, and we do not give or sell your information to anyone."
But the Transportation Corridor Agencies, which runs the Orange County toll roads, has shared some motorists' information with law enforcement under subpoena or when there was a legitimate criminal investigation, said spokeswoman Lisa Telles.
Right up there with the privacy debate is a fairness debate.
From the state's perspective, there needs to be a fair way to have motorists pay for building and maintaining roads they use.
"Eventually, if someday we switch to no-fossil fuel, we'd have to replace the funding source," said Joel Riphagen, transportation analyst for the nonpartisan Legislative Analysts' Office. "We really need to start looking at it as we begin to switch fuel sources or increase gas mileage."
But some drivers who have invested in fuel-efficient vehicles say a miles-driven tax would discourage people from buying energy-efficient vehicles and punish people who already own them.
"You will have a revolt coming out of your ears," said George Margolin, an inventor who lives in Newport Beach. Margolin and his wife, Cathy, traded in her Nissan 300Z for a Prius in March.
To improve the state's roads, Margolin said the state needs a steady stream of money and needs to come up with creative ways to pay for roads - such as getting more businesses that benefit from roads to pay for them. "You would not be doing that by increasing the cost of gas (through a miles-driven tax). Philosophically, that's a no- win situation."
Luster, who has had his Toyota Prius about a month, understands the state's bind and said he would be willing to pay higher taxes. However, he believes some of the money is misdirected.
"It's not right to put that money into nothing other than road building. We need to put that money into something that would get people around more efficiently," Luster said.
But if all 31 million vehicle owners switched to hybrids, the state would still face the same congestion and road- maintenance problems, policy analysts said.
"Hybrids are great. They use less fuel but take up exactly the same space on the road as a Hummer," said Dan Beal, manager of public policy for the Costa Mesa-based Automobile Club of Southern California.
He says the state is headed in the right direction in thinking about alternatives to paying for roads, but taxes based on miles driven are not flawless.
Charging a person using the San Diego (405) Freeway during rush hour in Los Angeles the same amount as a person flying up Interstate 5 in the Central Valley is a problem because it doesn't reflect a driver's "load" on the system.
"It's similar to going to a movie Friday night versus Tuesday afternoon," he said.
"Ultimately, what we need is a system where your use is based on when you use it, where you use it and the distance you travel on it," Beal said.
How much state gas tax you pay depends on the mileage of your make of car. Here's an estimate for three cars, based on each traveling 15,000 miles per year. The tax, 18 cents per gallon, is levied at the pump.
Average miles per gallon Yearly gas tax
2004 Toyota Prius 51 $52.94
2004 Honda Accord 24 $112.50
2004 Hummer H1 11 $245.45

Mounties swim team attends AUS championships, two members qualify for nationals
Keifer Bell
The Mount Allison varsity swim team participated in their final meet of the season this past weekend at the AUS championships held in Saint John. Several Mountie swimmers were successful in their competition and qualified for the U Sports national championships.
Olivia Feschuk placed third in both the 100 m and 200 m backstroke. Rob Blanchard/UNB Media Services
Olivia Feschuk is one of two Mounties who qualified for nationals.
A senior from Halifax, she has been a swimmer since she was only five-years-old. "I knew that I wanted to swim for a long time. Since I was young, I paid attention to the AUS swim meets," she said. "I went to the AUS meets growing up and volunteered when I got older. Seeing Dal swim inspired me to swim in university." After years of training and watching AUS meets, she has not only participated herself, but is able to say that she won.
Feschuk will be participating in the 200 metre individual medley and 200 metre backstroke at the U Sports National Championships after qualifying at the AUS meet.
Geraint Berger placed second in the 50 m freestyle at the AUS Championships. Rob Blanchard/UNB Media Services
Along with Feschuk, Geraint Berger will also be heading to nationals to participate in the 50 metre freestyle race. Berger is also from Halifax and has been swimming since a young age. The senior swimmer qualified for nationals last year as well and won MVP for the Mt. A swim team at last year's Night of the Mounties.
Maddie Henry, a third-year swimmer from Toronto and one of the Mounties captains, explained the format of the AUS championships.
"Everyone swims four individual events, and there are two to three relays where we participate as a team," she said.
Both of the men's and women's teams finished in fourth place this weekend, but going into the event their goal never was to win the team portion of the event. "Our team goal is cheering each other on individually instead of the AUS title," Henry said. Dalhousie University has won the team championship for 17 straight years.
In addition to being an important meet for qualifying swimmers and recognizing team achievements, the AUS championships was also the last swimming event for seniors on the team.
James Kwan, a senior swimmer from Lethbridge, Alberta, and another captain, talked about how the final meet was emotional for himself and other seniors. Being his last university meet ever, Kwan wanted to savour the emotions of the meet while having fun with the team. "I'm very proud of what the Mounties have accomplished throughout my years here and hope for continued improvement for those continuing to U Sport Nationals and swimming next year," he said.
With the season coming to an end, the swimmers anticipate changes to occur in their schedules because they no longer have to be at the pool every week. "Even though it's nice when swimming is over to have extra time, it's always nice to have that routine that keeps you on schedule and makes you do your work and not put stuff off," Henry said.
Olivia Feschuk and Geraint Berger will travel to Toronto on Feb. 22 to participate in their respective events at the U Sports national championships.

Home Basics God Allah What Do Muslims Believe About God?
We often hear people say things like "I don't know if I really believe in God but I do believe in a higher power". Many people hesitate to say God because, to them, the word conjures this image of an old man with a long white beard in a robe floating on a cloud. You've probably seen this guy featured in the works of Michelangelo and other Renaissance artists. This Zeus-looking character is not God.
God is not an old man, or a young man, or a ball of energy, or a spirit, or anything like that. He does not compare in any way to His creation. He is the Eternal Creator and Sustainer of everything that exists. He is One with no partner, He has power over all things and none has the right to be worshiped but Him.
While most religions share a belief in God, there are differences in terms of belief ABOUT God. Some religions teach that God is One, but that there are many lesser gods that are all manifestations of the One God. Some teach that God is One, but He is divided or separated into parts. Some teach that God is One, but He is IN everything or He IS everything. Some religions teach that God is One, but you need to go through intermediaries, such as idols, saints, or priests, to reach Him.
As Muslims, we understand that there is no God but Allah and there is nothing that compares to Him. He is the Creator and He is not nor does He ever become a person or any part of His creation.
Of course, this is not the only thing Muslims believe about God. There are many characteristics and attributes that belong to Allah. We actually have what is called the 99 names of Allah, a list of descriptive titles belonging to God. For example, Allah is the Creator, the Sustainer, the Eternal, the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing, the Peace, the Light, the Guide, the First, the Last, the Almighty, the Forgiving, the Loving, the One.
There are two attributes, however, that should be discussed in greater detail, namely "the Just" and "the Merciful," because understanding how these two names compliment each other allows for a clearer and deeper understanding of Islam.
Allah is Just and Fair, so we know that Allah will never place a burden on us greater than what we can handle, that whatever we do in life, good or bad, we will be held responsible for it, and that nothing will be missed or ignored or left out. At the same time, the Mercy and Compassion of Allah is unimaginably vast.
There are actually two names of Allah in Arabic that contain the word "Rahmah", or Mercy. They are "Ar-Rahman" and "Ar-Raheem", roughly translated as the Most Merciful and the Ever-Merciful. So even if we do wrong, even if we make mistakes, even if we mess up again and again and again, Allah in His Mercy and Compassion is always ready to forgive us and give us another chance. All we have to do is ask.
Of course, we're only scratching the surface here, but keep studying Islam, keep praying and thinking, keep contemplating the world around you, and you will continue to learn more and more about Allah.

Kanye West Hopes To Put Out New Album By Next Summer
By Rose Lilah

@roselilahhshit
Kanye West talks about three projects, a new solo album, "Cruel Winter," and "Watch The Throne 2."
Yeezus may not have been Kanye West's most well-received album, but the good news is, Kanye is already working on his next album. He doesn't provide any details on if he's going down the Yeezus-route again as opposed to more traditional hip-hop, but he does give quick updates on two other anticipated projects: Cruel Winter and Watch The Throne 2 while talking to Power 99.
We've heard from several people close to Kanye and Jay Z that Watch The Throne 2 is a strong possibility. Kanye says they don't have any concrete songs finished for the second instalment yet, but that's not to say they aren't thinking/working on it.
"Were constantly working, I mean we haven't made any songs for it yet. We gon' see what's gunna happen," Kanye said of WTT2 before going on to discuss his "product" he wants to get out by next September.
As for a follow-up to Yeezus, Kanye said, "I haven't named my next album, but I have started on it. I always write down philosophies all the time, so I'll just have some thoughts and every time I think of it I write, and I'm just collecting beats, I'm just constantly working."
"I'd like to put out more product, I'd like have another album out by next summer," he added. We wouldn't be mad at that.
Another project which had a lot of rumors and confusion surrounding it was a follow-up to Cruel Summer, Cruel Winter. At one point various G.O.O.D. Music members were saying contradicting things about the status of the project. Well, that could be Ye's fault, as he says he's been going back and forth about whether or not to do it.
"We think about it, I go back and forth on it. We just keep missing the winter, that's the only problem. We thinking 'bout dropping a Cruel Winter."
Check out the interview with Philly's Power 99 below, where Kanye also discusses Kendrick Lamar and the message behind "New Slaves."

Get some sun – Don't let the daylight dwindle without getting outside to soak up the few rays you can. It gets dark early, so make time to go outside during peak sunshine hours, around noon, and take a quick walk to wake up your senses. Even if it's cold, throw on your winter clothing and get outside, even if it's just for a little bit.
Vitamin D – While you'll get some vitamin D from the sun, it might not be enough during these darker winter months. You may want to consider adding a supplement. Vitamin D is vital for lots of things including how your body processes calcium and maintains bone structure. When your natural functions are out of sync, it can make you feel tired or run down.
Exercise – Working out is a great way to combat Seasonal Affective Disorder. Hit the gym and stay inside during the cold months or try some at-home workouts if you don't have a membership. Working out causes your body to release endorphins, which help make you happy!
Quiet time – Take some time for yourself. Relax and focus on the positive. Some find it helpful to unplug for a little bit and stay away from social media and electronic devices. Try doing something you find calming to recharge your mind and spirit.
Keep an eye on your diet – When we're sad, it's tempting to indulge in foods that are comforting, but don't have a lot of nutritional value. That's exactly the opposite of what your body needs! Make nutritious meals that will feed your body and your mood.
Be social – It can be hard, but try to put yourself out there and be around other people. Have fun and enjoy a night out. Or, if it's too cold, offer to host a night in with board games or movies. Ask friends and family if you can come hang out for a little bit. It can help to just be around others and share some laughter.
Consult your doctor – If you're feeling depressed and nothing is working to lift you from the fog, it's time to consult your doctor. Sometimes we need some extra guidance on how to best care for our mind, body and spirit. That's what doctors are there for!
Light therapy – Your doctor may want you to try light therapy, where special lights simulate sun exposure or can even give the effect of dawn breaking right in your bedroom. These devices can be very helpful, but should be used in consultation with your healthcare provider.
It's natural to feel the shift of seasons and being a little out of sorts could be part of that transition. Seasonal Affective Disorder doesn't only present itself in the winter, but it's the most common time to feel the effects due to the drastic change in temperature and reduced amount of daylight. Be proactive about your health and take steps to make yourself feel better. If none of these remedies work, schedule an appointment with your doctor for guidance.

Q: SOLR mass delete by URL SOLR index contains 3,5 million URLs. I have a list of 1,5 million of "proper" URLs (no template, just a random list).
How can I delete 2 million of URLs from SOLR index (I need to search on my 1,5M URLs only)?

A: If you can not distinguish between "proper" documents and the rest by a criteria that can be translated in a delete query, you are better with reindexing the 1.5 million, assuming that you have all the data to recreate the documents.

Rolling down the center of a Loop street, pumping hard on the pedals of his mud-spattered black mountain bike, riding the median with its cracks and bumps, flowing with and against mid-morning traffic, stopping at stop signs and red lights only when survival dictates, the bicycle messenger goes about his appointed rounds servicing commerce and industry and, occasionally, even senders of flowers.
Dropping off, picking up, vulnerable to all the vicissitudes of Chicago weather, even more vulnerable to injuries inflicted by cabs and car doors and road conditions, he is a hardy, hustling breed of urban cat. No matter the weather, the pollution index or their physical or mental state, the two-wheel couriers pedal for eight to ten hours a day, racking up a minimum of 60 miles in the process and invariably pushing into the city`s omnipresent wind, their most dreaded adversary.
personalities-students, family men, multiple jobholders, free spirits and transients-nearly all of whom speak of the sense of freedom, a word not often used in job descriptions, that they experience when mounted and moving.
Of the approximately 72 messenger companies in Chicago, Cannonball Inc. and Chicago Messenger Service are the largest. Cannonball, with 75 to 100 two- wheel workers, and CMS, with 80, also have large fleets of drivers servicing the city and suburbs. The two firms deliver anywhere in the country and offer worldwide service. Cannonball is the city`s oldest such business, dating to 1933, and receives between 1,600 and 2,000 phone orders a day in addition to its regularly scheduled daily routes. Chicago Messenger Service isn`t far behind.
A few firms employ messengers on foot who usually work assigned routes, but these couriers are a relatively small percentage of the messenger force.
And get around it they do. Adherence to traffic laws often takes a back seat, making the maneuvers of the bike messenger-the darting between moving vehicles, the traveling the wrong way on one-way streets, the riding on sidewalks (also illegal), the scattering of pedestrians-as common a downtown sight as panhandlers and gridlock.
What is so important that it must be transported so feverishly? It isn`t always a question of importance or urgency but simply a matter of being the quickest, most efficient way of conducting business. A video, of course, cannot be faxed; nor can an oversized graphic illustration; nor can a signature. And, of course, the couriers are paid by the delivery, not by the hour.
Accounting firms, law offices, banks and other financial institutions are the biggest daily users of messengers. Arthur Andersen & Co., which uses four different services, averages about 250 orders a day, according to Carlos Chavarria, the accounting firm`s operations manager. ''On busy days, such as April 15, we may do 300 or 400 orders,'' he says.
Video and film postproduction companies, publishers, newspapers, talent agencies, photographers and design studios also rely on bike messengers every day. Computer parts and just about anything under 10 pounds can be sent by bike.
The messengers, though, usually do not know what they`re transporting-their job is simply to pick up and deliver. When they do find out, though, it can be a shocker. Dave Janis, a Cannonball dispatcher who worked the streets for five years, once picked up a box at the First National Bank of Chicago, put it into his bicycle basket and blithely made several other stops, not realizing that there was $30,000 in singles neatly packaged and stacked inside the carton. Someone had made a mistake, though: Messengers, as a matter of policy, do not transport cash.
They don`t carry contraband either-not in Chicago. But in New York an enterprising soul used bike messengers to run a $30,000-a-day drug operation that delivered marijuana anywhere in Manhattan. Before he was busted, the entrepreneur, one Michael Cesar, the self-styled ''Pope of Pot,'' would dispatch a biker with marijuana after a customer placed an order on his toll- free line, 1-800-WANT-POT.
The rigors and frustrations of the job, which also include waiting for slow elevators and dealing with imperious security guards, not surprisingly contribute to a high turnover rate. That fact, coupled with the reluctance of some firms to reveal employee counts, makes it difficult to accurately calculate the number of bike messengers in Chicago. Estimates, though, range from at least 400 to as many as 600 or 700. Only a comparative handful are women.
The maximum number of deliveries in a day for most hard-core messengers is generally considered to be in the 60s. But Cannonball`s George Christensen, who has been riding three to four days a week for a year and a half, might hold the one-day record with 73.
''It was a complete fluke,'' Christensen says. ''I think I worked 11 hours.'' He was already having ''a really good day,'' he says, when he made one pickup that entailed having to deliver press releases to 24 different stops.
Speed, quite obviously, is key, and a number of companies claim to be the fastest. Two, Velocity and Deadline Express, guarantee 30-minute service and treat every order as such unless one-hour service, which is cheaper, is specified. Velocity`s half-hour rate of six dollars is the lowest in the city. Deadline charges $6.50. These rates apply only in the downtown area.
All of this pell-mell pedaling is sure to generate an appetite, yet there`s no such thing as lunch hour or break time in the messenger racket. When a delivery is a rush order, that doesn`t mean after you`ve finished eating. Cannonball`s Christensen says he usually eats on the run, between deliveries, while he`s waiting for the dispatcher to call his number over the radio. He always comes to work with his bag well supplied with nuts, bite-sized candy bars, fruit and sandwiches. When his food supply is depleted, he knows he can always stop by the Wacker Drive ad agency that sets out baskets of apples for hungry passersby.
Christensen`s eating habits and health consciousness may be more the exception than the rule. Most bike messengers tend to be junk-food junkies rather than health-food freaks, so most opt for the fast and cheap.
The weather? The worse, the better, the real pros assert-it means the day will be all the more lucrative. Bad weather usually does not affect the demand (for deliveries), but invariably it will influence the supply (of messengers). ''When it rains,'' Christensen says, ''it means the dispatchers will be calling my number more often, which means I`ll be making more money.'' Inclement weather, seasoned riders say, separates the men from the boys. Only the hard-core courier can wake up in the morning and smile at the news of an overnight blizzard or a period of heavy rain, high humidity or subzero cold.
(otherwise, Jonathan Elseng). The 35-year-old Rock, a man who probably is lucky be alive, is the godfather of the hard-core messengers, the rebel rider ''with an attitude problem,'' a man well known in messenger circles. Currently with Deadline, he has been riding for 10 winters, a measure of time used by the veterans to calculate true tenure. Hardy survivor Rock has a steel plate in the back of his head, several pins in his right knee, scars all over his body, and he walks like a cowboy who has been on horseback too long. He has fractured his skull, broken his right shoulder, his tailbone, his right ankle, both knees, both wrists and many ribs. In 1981 he was sandwiched between two buses, and both his knees were crushed. In 1987 he slammed into an open car door. The edge of the door cut through several ribs, the momentum causing him to flip over the door and land under the tailpipe of a cab.
Gabriel Morales is another messenger notable, but for a different reason- he is arguably the fastest and the highest-paid messenger on wheels. And perhaps the most independent. Unlike 99 percent of his brethren, he doesn`t work for a messenger company.
After a period of dues-paying-3 1/2 years with Cannonball, a year each with Metro Express and On Time Couriers Ltd. and a short stint with Deadline Express-Morales approached the owner of a graphics firm about being its sole, private messenger. Though skeptical at first, Chuck Anzo, owner of Anzo Graphics, finally agreed, and Morales has been riding for the company exclusively for the last year and a half.
Many of Anzo`s deliveries are urgent and on a deadline, requiring immediate attention and expeditious transport.
Handed one such envelope recently, one destined for a client in the Amoco Building, Morales bolted through the glass doors of Anzo`s offices at LaSalle and Chicago. Mounted on one of his dozen or so bikes, he burned a zigzag trail south on LaSalle, east on Illinois, blowing through the intersection while casually sipping a can of 7-Up, steering with one hand, his head cocked toward the sky. Then it was south again, on State, where he dismounted and carried his bike down a flight of stairs to continue east on Hubbard, then south on Lower Wabash. Dismounting again, he climbed another flight of stairs to emerge from behind the Wrigley Building, then he headed south on Michigan, east on Wacker and south on Stetson Drive to 200 E. Randolph, the Amoco Building, where he hopped off his still-rolling bike, swung it against a pole, secured it with a black U-shaped lock and moved through the revolving glass doors.
Walking through a lobby filled with businessmen and women in pin-striped suits, Morales, wearing black Nike leggings, a blue Gore-tex windbreaker, lightweight mountain boots, fingerless gloves and his helmet and bag, delivered the goods.
That one delivery was worth $5 to Morales, which may not sound like a lot, but it is at least a dollar more than he`d receive working for a messenger firm. As an independent contractor, he keeps 100 percent of what he bills the graphics firm, minus taxes.
Morales` personal quota is 40 runs a day, although he has no control over how many he will get. But 40 at $5 each is $200 a day, or $1,000 a week. Some weeks, however, aren`t that lucrative. In fact, during the last six months, Morales, because of the recession and other business fluctuations, has had weeks that were worth only a couple of hundred dollars.
Some of that income, of course, must be invested in his rolling stock. The day he was first hired as a messenger, Morales borrowed $13 to buy a heavy old bike from a thrift store. His most recent purchase, though, was an $800 Cannondale mountain bike that can be lifted, literally, with two fingers.
Successful or not, Morales is still vulnerable to his occupation`s hazards. Last February he was hit by a car doing about 30 miles an hour. It was dark, the car had no lights, and Morales, riding south on North Wells Street, had run a red light at West Ontario. The impact lifted him and his bike onto the hood of the car and carried them almost a block away, where he was dumped back onto the street when the car abruptly stopped. Amazingly, he suffered only minor cuts and bruises. But it could have been different: A large four-inch chunk of plastic was missing from his helmet.

At a recent social gathering in Southern Pennsylvania (near my home), I was chatting with an acquaintance from the city who was proclaiming his disdain for all of the Confederate flags being flown in the area. He stated, rather emphatically: I can't believe there are so many rednecks around here!
down hilarity at the statement and the situation.
I'm going to write a terrific article today! And I'm gonna help people! Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!
That, for all of you old enough to remember, is a paraphrasing of the famous Stuart Smalley; played famously of course on SNL (back when it was watch-able) by current Minnesota Senator Al Franken. For some reason or another, I awoke this morning with a bevy of mixed feelings and emotions from a memorable dream, and I thought of that old skit that cracked me up so much as a thirteen-year-old miscreant.
Cultural Identity: What am I?
I have been contemplating my own cultural identity as of late and would like to explore exactly what it is that makes me, or anyone else for that matter, unique from anyone else in the world. I was born and have always lived in the United States. Does that in and of itself represent any sort of cultural significance? I have lived in several states in various regions of the United States. Do these particular regions offer one a unique cultural experience different from any other region or state? I am of mostly Irish-Catholic heritage, have relatives still in Ireland, yet have never been to Ireland and experienced what is unique to their culture. Does that play any role whatsoever in my own cultural schema?

Canterbury Tale, II: Allowed Expedience
Yes, that's "expedience," not "expedients." We didn't misspell. The issue we're looking at today is the question of when expedience is allowed, so that you may employ allowed expedients. Yesterday we contrasted the clear evil of killing an innocent person for the presumably greater good, with the more ambiguous situation in which someone's only recourse to death is to steal to stay alive.
Utopia of the Usurers?
As you might expect, there is a "Catch-22" in this "permission to steal." The needy individual may incur no moral guilt, but the social order is such a great good that certain bad things are permitted to maintain order, while certain good things are forbidden for the same reason. Usury, for example — the taking of a profit when no profit has been generated — is a great evil. Profit-taking is in and of itself, however, is a very great good, only becoming "evil" (despite the insistence of the socialists) when no profit has been made.
Pullman Strike, 1894
Modern corporate finance and (more especially) the consumer credit industry are, however, based firmly on the presumed need to take a profit whether or not profit has been made. This extends even to the presumably "just" demands of workers for fixed wage and benefits packages sufficient to meet the needs of them and their dependents . . . whether or not they produce goods and services of equivalent value to the wages and benefits they receive.
Thus, even though it is a great evil, usury — a form of theft, and thus a violation of private property — must be allowed to continue, at least in the present condition of society, even though the usurer incurs grave moral guilt when he has another viable choice. This is because simply abolishing usury in all its forms unilaterally and without changing the basic structures of the modern financial system would destroy civilization. Yes, it would. Don't kid yourself.
Paradoxically, stealing from the superabundance of another — for which the taker does not incur moral guilt — must not be allowed! That is because if simply taking what one needed from another became the accepted and ordinary way of obtaining the necessities of life, society would collapse. That's also why Leo XIII taught that in extreme cases the State may make a redistribution: allowing people simply to take what they need would irreparably harm the common good. (Rerum Novarum, § 22.)
Private property is one of the pillars of the social order, along with life and liberty. If anyone could take what he wanted from the goods of another, the productive would be punished by not being allowed to profit by their industry, while the lazy and shiftless would be rewarded. People would soon only produce at the point of a gun, as became obvious in the former Soviet Union. Does this mean that there is no recourse, that mankind is locked into unjust social structures for all eternity?
Of course not. As Pius XI made clear throughout his pontificate, each human person has the power (meaning the right) and the duty to organize with others when the institutions of the social order are flawed to an intolerable degree. We do not simply abolish an evil and prevent it with the coercive power of the State. On the contrary, we first convince others that a more rationally structured social order is desirable, then work to bring it about. The unjust institution — such as usury or widespread poverty — is either reformed or falls of its own dead weight, replaced by a better institution. (Vide Rev. William J. Ferrree, S.M., Ph.D., The Act of Social Justice. Washington, DC: The Catholic University of America Press, 1942.)
"I am the State"
Many people, however, find this "act of social justice" — organizing for the common good in order to effect beneficial change in our institutions — too slow or presume it to be ineffective. They demand that the State take charge of as much as possible in order to implement instant social change — enforced, as we might expect, at the point of a gun: the police power of the State. This ultimately results in the deification of the State, and inevitably a joining of Church and State in some fashion, whether through the establishment of an official State church (and thus under the control of State bureaucrats, and manipulated for political purposes) or the elimination of competing faiths, leaving the State the only "religious" body.
Hank Plantagenet, Jr.
This, then, was the whole issue between Archbishop Thomas and King Henry — you knew we'd get around to it eventually. In the Middle Ages the Catholic Church had "from time immemorial" certain rights and privileges on which the civil power — the State — could not encroach. Often, of course, the State had interfered in these matters, with consequent repercussions, both serious and, in some instances, almost ludicrous. There were also not a few worldly ecclesiastics who sought to curry favor with the civil authorities by asserting that the princes of this world ruled by "divine right," thereby muddying the waters even more.
For example, the whole Guelph and Ghibbeline struggle in Italy and Germany, which spilled over on occasion into France and England, was a struggle between civil authorities who wanted to take over the Church and use it for their own ends, and ecclesiastical authorities who wanted to use the spiritual power of the Church to set things right in the civil sphere, backed by the coercive power of the State. Once that struggle was decided, the Guelphs and Ghibbelines (and their spiritual descendants) continued fighting amongst themselves to decide how Church and State were to relate to each other once the separation was effected.
