Skip to comments.Lesbians live in fear of 'corrective' rape ( South Africa )
Posted on 12/16/2009 8:01:35 AM PST by george76
LESBIANS in South Africa are being dragged off the street and raped to "correct" them, it has been claimed. ky News has found evidence of widespread abuse against the lesbian community, resulting in a new trend of so-called "corrective rape."
In the the township of Khayelitsha on the outskirts of Cape Town, a group of women said they live in fear for their lives. All of them claim to know someone who has been violently dragged off the street and raped because she had come out as a lesbian.
" There is always that threat that you are going to be raped so you can become a 'real' woman,"
But what shocked her even more was the attitude of the police.
(Excerpt) Read more at theaustralian.com.au ...
Does this work? If so, is it covered under obamacare?
Gee Africa again, if not the Arab countries it is this hell hole. How tiresome...
As opposed to the women who are just raped in SA, "the rape capital of the world' or the infants and toddlers that are raped to cure aids.
Here we go again with the victimization of homosexuals. Can we have a collective cry now?
'Correct' 2 birds with 1 stone...make gay men rape gay women.
These women are probably just being caught up in the general rape furor of South Africa. That they are lesbos has very little to do with them being raped.
In south africa, I don't think lesbian, straight, young, old, ugly, pretty matters at all. Rape is bigger than football as their national sport
But is it "'Rape' rape" according to Whoopi?
South Africa has turned into a hell hole of epic proportions. But it is all so politically correct and they have a soccer team (as per commercials for Matt Damon's new movie) so no problem.
Yeah, doesn't appear that they need much of a reason to rape a woman in SA.
It seems like once or twice a year the South Africans come up with a brand new excuse for rape.
It's the only innovation that happens there anymore.
Paging Matt Damon, paging Morgan Freeman, paging Clint Eastwood, waiting..... waiting.
She's so ugly, two guys broke into her apartment, and when she cried out "RAPE!", they both yelled, "NOOOOOOOO!"
Do Nelson Mandela and his hippie supporters know about this?
I think in South Africa 'lesbian' means 'girl who won't go out with me.'
Well ky News in an ideal position for stepping up to ease any pain.

About Me as a Composer
"Subaqueous's sound is a deep resonanting splash of squish step.Tribal, moving, humanistic, and playful, Subaqueous's music often gives way to random expressions of ecstatic dance, but is not limited souly to the realm of dance culture.This music is also deep and contemplative allowing listeners a chance to not just boogie down, but to also unwind and enjoy close personal discussions."-Brian Baron
Isaac Cotec, aka Subaqueous, started making electronic based music in the summer of 2005 working with a project called Psyche Sonics. Psyche Sonics is an experimental group working with binaural beats and altering consciousness through sounds. The Project traveled in a large yurt that moved around the PNW on tour as a musical Art instillation. It was fetured in such festivals as Beloved, Emerg+n+see, Oracle Gatherings, and others.
After touring with his experimental and ambient based project Isaac Cotec continued me make music and grow as a musician. As of March 12th 2011 the unique character and sound of Subaqueous was born. The music has incorporated beat science to create progressive mid tempo and dance music. Using melodic techniques and musical theory to add layers to the experience.
Isaac Cotec also has an extensive knowledge in sound design and productions. Working with sound designers and video work with commercials, games, and other media. He also shares this knowledge freely to other sound designers on his website through his Productions Articles.
Thank you for listening, supporting, and enjoying the music.

Here's something Facebook users might not 'like': paying $1 to send messages to people they aren't connected to on the social networking site.

The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company announced it has started testing a system that will charge users to start a thread with a person they aren't friends with as the site explores way to create more revenue streams.
"Several commentators and researchers have noted that imposing a financial cost on the sender may be the most effective way to discourage unwanted messages and facilitate delivery of messages that are relevant and useful," the eight-year-old company said in statement Thursday.
The company said the delivery charge is designed to "get the most relevant messages into your Inbox" and is currently being tested out on a small group of users. The $1 fee isn't set in stone and would only be applicable for personal messages between users in the U.S. The number of messages users can have sent from their "Other" folder to their "Inbox" will be limited to one per week.
Currently, messages from people outside a user's friend's list are automatically filtered to the "other" folder.
Despite its popularly, the company, which went public in May, has struggled to convince investors it has long term profit-making power.

A new list type
From HaskellWiki
Does anybody find this amusing?
module XList where import Prelude hiding (length, head, tail, foldr, foldl, map, zip, zipWith, replicate) data List t = Node {length_ :: Int, head :: t, tail :: List t} | End deriving (Eq, Show) length End = 0 length n = length_ n infixr 5 #: x #: xs = Node (1 + length xs) x xs foldr _ v (End) = v foldr f v (Node _ x xs) = f x (foldr f v xs) foldl _ v (End) = v foldl f v (Node _ x xs) = foldl f (v `f` x) xs foldl' _ v (End) = v foldl' f v (Node _ x xs) = (foldl' f $! v `f` x) xs map _ (End) = End map f (Node n x xs) = Node n (f x) (map f xs) zipWith f (End) _ = End zipWith f _ (End) = End zipWith f (Node n0 x xs) (Node n1 y ys) = Node (n0 `min` n1) (f x y) (zipWith f xs ys) zip = zipWith (\x y -> (x,y)) join (End) ys = ys join (Node n x xs) ys = Node (n + length ys) x (join xs ys) merge = foldr join End select _ End = End select f (Node n x xs) = case f x of True -> x #: select f xs False -> select f xs replicate 0 _ = End replicate n x = Node n x (replicate (n-1) x)
Somebody (a non Haskeller) said that having to traverse a potentially large linked list merely to compute its size is unnecessarily wasteful. Whether or not you agree with that statement, the above (which is obviously incomplete) is what I came up with to address this criticism. (You might argue that linked lists just plain aren't a good idea for very large structures.)Of course, in the presence of lazy evaluation, all is not quite that simple. Functions that generate known-size lists (e.g.,
Anybody else have any insightful or amusing comments?

"traversing a potentially large linked list merely to compute its size is unnecessarily wasteful."Especially when it's infinite. See Things to avoid for why you should try to avoid calling
Agreed; trying to count the elements in an infinite list would be a Bad Idea. ;-)
This came up in a discussion of sorting algorithms. You might want to choose which algorithm to apply depending on how big the list is - but not much point doing that if it takes longer to figure out how big the list is then to just use the first algorithm to hand! (Note that a sorting algorithm can never work on an infinite list.)
For the special case of a sorting algorithm, it might be simpler to just count the size of the list once, and then manually manage that information throughout the sorting process. (Rather than, as above, defining a whole new datatype and redefining all of the prelude on it.)
I thought I would post it because it's an interesting idea though.

Complaining Via Twitter Works When Comfort Inn Won't Listen
Kristy and her husband were dissatisfied with their recent Comfort Inn stay while on vacation in southern Utah. The hotel manager resolved their cleanliness concerns, but then threatened to revoke their discount if they complained to corporate. Kristy tried to get her message across to the people in charge through the usual channels, and it seemed that nobody wanted to listen, Finally, she posted about the situation on Twitter and got the resolution she was looking for.
My husband and I stayed for 3 nights at the Comfort Inn in Hurricane, UT when we were visiting some of the National Parks in Southern Utah. The first two nights were spartan but fine (clean room, clean sheets and towels, comfy enough bed). The hot tub wasn't working but our expectations were pretty low since we were only paying $50 per night.
When we came back to our room on the third night, we noticed that our room hadn't been cleaned. The bed was made but the floor hadn't been vacuumed and the bathroom was still dirty. We complained to the manager about it, and she immediately sent someone to clean the room and offered us a small discount on the room. When we said we would be calling the corporate office, she rudely said that if we did, they would take back the discount. Yeah, we were shocked too.
That night, a busload of teenagers were staying in the hotel and some of them were in the room above us. It was like sleeping under a herd of elephants. So when we couldn't sleep due to all the noise, we called the front desk. After the third time we called, they told us that the teenagers were being kicked out due to multiple complaints. They obviously weren't kicked out because the running around upstairs never stopped and they were all at breakfast the next morning.
After we got home, I called the Choice Hotels customer care and registered a complaint. The next day I got a generic apology letter from some guy named Peter [last name] from the hotel. He said that "comments and suggestion we receive from our guests are taken seriously" and "the issues you've raised have been addressed, and the appropriate action has been taken". So I sent an email back asking what actions have been specifically taken. After that I received nothing.
In the meantime, I posted about everything on Twitter. I mentioned all the problems we had and the cheesy apology letter we got. That was on Tuesday. On Thursday I got a phone call from Choice Hotels customer care. They left a message on my voice mail mentioning that I had twittered about the cheesy apology letter and asking if I had resolved the issue with the hotel. So I called back and told them I hadn't heard anything back from the hotel and they offered me $70 in coupons that I can use like cash at any of their hotels. After my experience, I won't be using them at a Comfort Inn though.
Consumerist does not condone use of the phrase "sucks ass" when tweeting to power, but otherwise, Kristy did well. She first tried to resolve things at the hotel level, then through regular customer service channels. When it became clear that no one was listening to her concerns, she posted a frustrated tweet.
Choice Hotels, parent company of Comfort Inn, has its own Twitter account, and evidently also keeps watch for negative tweets.

Sometimes, we here at Digital Trends have strong opinions. And when that time comes, we take to the Internet and fight. For this week's debate, we're taking on the discussion surrounding the HR 4204 bill, which wants to put warning labels on nearly all video games. Our own Amir Iliaifar and Ryan Fleming go head to head.
I'll start by saying I'm a huge gamer. I've been playing videogames for over 20 years and no, I haven't ever committed an act of violence beside throwing my controller across the room during a very intense Ninja Gaiden 2 boss battle (he was super cheap, FYI). Embarrassing anecdotes aside, I believe video games — like any art form — have the ability to touch, inspire, and influence.
There's a whole debate on whether videogames are actually art. I happen to believe they are, and like any form of art, be it literature, paintings, film, or music, it has the ability to inspire people to do some pretty crazy things. In 1985, a man named Leonard Lake abducted a 19 year-old girl, held her prisoner in a makeshift bunker near his house, and subsequently raped and tortured her. Lake was said to be utterly obsessed with a book by British author John Fowles called The Collector. Two other men have also claimed the book was inspiration for their violent acts.
I have read The Collector, and never has it crossed my mind to recreate any aspects of the book. But while I don't believe games, or books, or films for that matter cause (the key word here being cause) people to commit violent crimes, I do think there can be a correlation between violent images/lyrics/games and violent or aggressive behavior. Jump on Xbox Live and listen to the idiotic, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc remarks made by a large number of gamers and tell me that isn't aggressive or violent behavior.
Do I believe video games should be banned? Hell no. But I don't see the harm in making consumers aware that there are some potential negative effects of playing violent video games. Where I disagree with the recent labeling proposition introduced by Reps Joe Braca (D-CA) and Frank Wolf (R-VA) and their "Violence in Video Games Labeling Act" is the need to label virtually all games; it should be reserved for games that are deemed explicitly violent by the ESRB and the bill's wording should be retooled.
This is bill is nothing more than political grandstanding from lawmakers looking to score points with voters in an election year. They attempted a similar thing in California by trying to classify games in the same way they do porn, and the Supreme Court ruled against it.
The thing is, the warning is just wrong and misleading. For every study showing a direct link between gaming and aggression there are two that say the exact opposite—that gaming can actually relieve aggressive tendencies. Go ahead and Google it; you will instantly find plenty of scientific studies that at the very least cast enough doubt on the proposed warning label's accuracy. It seems hugely irresponsible of some hackneyed politicos desperately trying to remain relevant to put such an incredibly damning label on a product they obviously don't understand or appreciate.
The law would also force that label on all games, not just violent ones. So beware – don't let your child play Barbie: Jet, Set & Style!, for it may be a gateway to MURDER!
About The Collector being a focal point of a few nuts, the same was true of Sallinger's Catcher in the Rye, and yet there are no warning labels on books. You can't regulate crazy, and if it weren't a game or a book, it would have been music, movies, or puppies—or any one of a thousand other catalysts that set those guys off. As for XBL's penchant for young idiots, that is true, but it isn't just gaming. Read any Yahoo article and weep.
I agree that the bill currently is somewhat misleading. As I said, it should be less ambiguous in the proposed warning labels wording. I also think it's dumb to label anything other than games that are explicitly violent. So don't worry Ryan, you can play Barbie: Jet, Set & Style! to your heart's content! However I don't see any inherent harm in informing consumers, mainly parents, that prolonged exposure to violent games COULD have negative effects on their children's behavior. While I still believe video games need to be protected, especially when it comes to freedom of speech, they are intrinsically different from other forms of art because of their interactivity. It's one thing to watch someone stab another in a film and another to actually control that act via a virtual character.
As for the bill being "nothing more than political grandstanding" I can't speak to that either way, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But given that it's backed by both a republican and democrat, I don't see how either party will score political points over the other. I also think it's awfully hubristic to think a lack of scientific consensus automatically deems something wrong. Look at homosexuality: researches said it was a mental disorder well into the 20th century. In fact, in 1952, when the American Psychiatric Association published its first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, homosexuality was included. Even the World Health Organization listed homosexuality as a mental illness in 1977 — only to be removed later in 1990. My points is, just because there is no consensus, doesn't mean it isn't real. Do I think we need to place warning labels on everything? Of course not, but the interactivity of video games certainly begs consideration.
And why would this label be so damning? If anything it might spur parents to…gasp…talk to their children about the games they play. I highly doubt a warning label will stop people from playing violent games, (you know, because it works so well with cigarettes) but it might get them to think critically about their behavior in relationship to gaming both good and bad. Gamers need to grow up and realize that there could very well be a correlation between the games they play and violent and aggressive behavior. Not in all, but in some. It's not the end of the world — and it doesn't take away any legitimacy from the medium, no more than those crazies did with Salinger's or Fowles' work.
You are making my point for me. It was because of political and misguided morale objections to homosexuality that allowed it to be classified as a medical issue. There were no real, lasting studies done, just as there were no real lasting studies done linking gaming to aggression. In both cases it was people in power crashing down on something they did not understand or like, so they tried to make it seem dangerous–unlike cigarettes, which have repeatedly been proven to have a correlation with your health.
Art is typically borne of entertainment, and entertainment can't grow and progress if it isn't allowed to push the envelope. Going backward is not an option. The gaming industry is still in its infancy, and yes, many of the games today are developed purely for financial means, not art. But the same is true for movies, and just like with film, each big budget flick makes it easier for developers to create a game that is truly art. If a bill is passed that creates a culture of fear around gaming, and suggests horrible (and unfounded) consequences for playing video games, it could stunt the gaming industry and create a stigma.
It's happened before. It wasn't too long ago that people were burning rock n' roll records, claiming that the devil was present in the sound of electric guitars. Ginsberg's Howl led to an obscenity trial. Monty Python's Life of Brian was banned in some areas. All of those things succeeded despite the protests against them, and yet all of the warnings and objections led to a great deal of pain, suffering, and hatred.
This law doesn't inform, it is meant to terrify. Parents shouldn't have to be scared and shamed into talking to their kids about violent games any more than they should need a warning label on a range to tell them not to let small children cook without supervision.
Yes- there have been many mixed studies and I'm certainly not going to argue that. Neither side can claim to have a definitive answer as to the effect of video game violence. But while some studies have yielded mixed results, there have also been studies that have failed to find significant links of smoking to lung cancer even though the majority of us realize that there is indeed correlation AND causation between smoking and lung cancer.
A simple warning label which states that VIOLENT games MAY lead to violent or aggressive behavior is really not out of line. Yeah we might not know for sure, but there is no harm in being safe. I also think it's unfair and cynical to say that this law is only meant to terrify. I don't think that's the case at all and find it a convenient way to disregard a very plausible negative aspect of violent games.
Just to be clear, I'm not arguing in favor of banning video games or slapping warning labels on everything — just explicitly violent games. I'm merely advocating that both consumers and parents be proactive about video game violence and the effects that it may have. It's really simple, talk with your kids about the games that they play. Hell – just talk to them about the stuff they are interested in general! With that being said, I fail to see how encouraging dialogue between parents and their kids, be it video games or anything else they show interested in, is in any way shaming.
There is a huge difference between the Surgeon General of the United States issuing a health warning on cigarettes—which many, well-funded researches have shown to cause health problems—and two Congressmen taking it upon themselves to decide that they will issue warnings based on easily refutable, opinionated studies that haven't been verified.
People tend to read headlines more than actual stories, it's human nature, so putting that label on a game won't lead to discussion, it will lead to people believing that games WILL lead to aggression. Maybe not for everyone, but for enough that it will prejudice some about the industry. It would also open the door to further constraints on gaming the next time a politician wanted to appear to be a strong family values proponent.
This bill is unnecessary and sensationalistic. If either Congressman really cared, or had a modicum of responsibility, they would have commissioned a legitimate study on the effects of games and aggression. I'd be interested in the results myself. There is already a warning label of sorts on games now—the ESRB rating. If a game is rated M for mature, parents should be aware of that and talk to their kids because of it. There is no need—and no proof to justify—a Draconian warning that suggests video games will hurt your brain. It is a bad bill from the bottom up.

#1 NM Plea Deal Set In Bill Richardson (D) Bribe Case

LAS CRUCES A retired judge accused of soliciting bribes for former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor misconduct, apologizing for what he said were injudicious comments but maintaining he was the innocent victim of a political witch hunt.
Former state district Judge Michael Murphy entered the plea under a deal with prosecutors that dismissed four felony charges and ended a high-profile case that shocked the judiciary two years ago, when GOP prosecutors alleged the bribes were part of a long-running practice for picking judges in Southern New Mexico.
Under the plea bargain, Murphy was given a 364-day suspended jail sentence, ordered to do 200 hours of community service and barred from ever again holding public office or entering the state District Court building in Las Cruces.
Murphys indictment followed one of a string of investigations into alleged pay-to-play activities with ties to Richardson, a Democrat, over the past five years.
It was the only case that resulted in criminal charges. Richardson has called the allegations outrageous and defamatory.
Special Prosecutor Matt Chandler said he believes he could have won a conviction on the felony charges, but that he agreed to let Murphy plea to the lesser charge because he believes that given Murphys age and health issues, it was unlikely he would have faced a stiffer sentence. Additionally, he said, with a plea agreement, Murphy is unable to appeal the conviction.
Now they only need to get Richardson as well."It's a convention of wolves over there with all the snarling, snapping, and baring of teeth."

PHILADELPHIA — Sean Couturier had a short-handed goal to lead a balanced scoring attack and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Minnesota Wild 5-1 Tuesday night.
Kimmo Timonen, Scott Hartnell, Braydon Coburn and Jakub Voracek also had goals for the Flyers, who got points from 11 different players.
Darroll Powe scored against his former team for Minnesota's goal.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 25 saves to earn the win, a day after coach Peter Laviolette reiterated he's the No. 1 goaltender.
Bryzgalov is having the worst season of his nine-year career while backup Sergei Bobrovsky has far better stats.
But Bryzgalov signed a $51 million, nine-year contract in the offseason and will be given every opportunity to prove his worth heading into the playoffs.
The Flyers are 5-2 since losing the Winter Classic to the New York Rangers.

2013 was a good year for movies about magicians, with the fairly high-profile releases of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and Now You See Me. On the indie front, there's Joe Tyler Gold and Tammy Caplan's Desperate Acts of Magic.
I first came across this movie in 2010, when the team was raising funds for production. I was excited about it then, and now that it's been released Joe was kind enough to send me a DVD for review.
What sets Desperate Acts of Magic apart from other magic movies is that it was made by and with magicians. Joe, who also stars in the film, is a magician himself and draws on his own performing experiences for some of the scenes. For me, part of the fun of watching was seeing familiar magicians and effects brought to the screen. Cuts are intentionally kept to a minimum, so the presentations are very close to what one would see in real life. I've attended a lot of magic conventions over the years and the movie gives a pretty accurate feel of what it's like to be at one. (No surprise there — a few scenes were shot at an actual magic convention.)
Along with an obvious affection for magic and the (mostly) men who practice it, the film hits on the downsides of the art: the cliched costumes and presentations, the indignities of working gigs, and the casual sexism that so often relegates women to mere lovely assistants. The trailer's declaration that magicians are "the third most-mocked profession" isn't too far off the mark; the lead character's decision to persist in magic anyway reflects the desire to rise above all that.
There's obviously a lot here for magicians, but how about for people who don't have entire drawers full of playing cards, half-dollars, and rubber appendages? I watched it with a non-magician friend who also enjoyed it, saying the movie exceeded her expectations. It's a fun, light-hearted comedy, the tone of which accurately comes through in the trailer.
If you're looking for a last-minute gift for the magician in your life, Desperate Acts of Magic definitely fits the bill. The product is available here and the movie also streams on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.

Items with historical ties to La Plata County keep finding their way to the Animas Museum.
The most recent arrived Friday when Brian Goodman, an animal-control officer from Las Cruces, N.M., and his great-aunt, Barbara Cornelius, donated the badge of George Goodman, a volunteer fireman and later paid chief of the Durango fire department.
The badge bears the date April 15, 1895.
Brian Goodman is George Goodmans great-great-grandson and Cornelius is his granddaughter.
Im the last of the Goodmans because I dont have children, Goodman said. Theres no point having the badge in a safety deposit box. Theres no better place for it than here.
Goodman and Cornelius also donated original vintage photographs of their ancestor. They were accompanied by Goodmans wife, Vivian, and his stepmother, Ellie Goodman.
George Goodman, they said, was never idle. He operated a painting business, worked as a mortician and acted as county coroner. He served as mayor and was active in the Masons, the Elks, Moose and Eagles and Woodmen of the World.
Cornelius, a Durango native and lifetime resident, recalled her grandfather as a fancy dresser and a delight to be around.
Six members from Durango Fire & Rescue Authority dropped in to see Goodmans badge.
Jan Postler, the museums curator of collections, said she receives donations frequently.
Every year, 30 to 80 people donate a single object or a collection, Postler said.
Postler said the historical value of items usually outweighs the monetary value.
Among recent significant donations are:
In August 2011, Deane Winkler, a member of the McCluer family from Prescott, Ariz., donated documents, photographs, letters, pottery and two firearms from the late 1800s.
The McCluer family figured in another donation in May, when a Californian, Ann Dierks, made her second donation to the museum two handguns and two badges belonging to Timothy J. McCluer Jr., La Plata County sheriff from 1910 to 1912. Dierks is McCluers granddaughter.
In June, Lonnie Selby from Tushka, Okla., dropped off a plaque from a cash register that was in the Durango Mercantile Co. office when it and an adjoining building were destroyed by fire in 1948.
Selby found the plaque while fly-fishing in the Animas River in the mid-1970s. He put it in a shed and forgot about it until a tornado in April 2011 leveled the shed.

7 underrated ski resorts
Margaret Loftus, Special to CNN • Updated 13th February 2017
You've heard of Aspen, Jackson Hole and Whistler, but how about Copper Mountain, Grand Targhee and Revelstoke? These ski resorts may lack the buzz of their more glamorous neighbors, but they make up for it in snowfall, value and fewer crowds.
So hop on a lift before winter winds down.
Revelstoke Mountain Resort - British Columbia
Opened in 2007,
has remained largely off the radar thanks to its relative inaccessibility in British Columbia's Selkirk Mountain range. It's a five-hour drive from Calgary and two hours from the nearest international airport, but it's unlikely to stay that way for long. With some 60 feet of annual snowfall at the highest elevations, 5,620 feet of vertical -- the longest descent of any resort in North America -- and lift, cat-skiing and heli-skiing from one village base.
Copper Mountain - Colorado
Sandwiched between Breckenridge and Vail,
Copper Mountain
has long been a local favorite, but a new high-speed quad-lift and ski-in, ski-out lodging put it on par with its big-name neighbors. Naturally divided terrain separates skiers and snowboarders by ability, which gives the entire resort more elbow room. Bonus: Guests get free snow cat access on Tucker Mountain. The "High Four" deal this season packs in four days of skiing or riding for $234.
Grand Targhee Resort - Wyoming
Perched on the western slope of the Tetons,
Grand Targhee
is perfectly positioned to reap the lion's share of powder from eastern-moving storms. "There can be times when Jackson Hole can receive zero snow and the Grand Targhee can get a foot," says Dan Sherman, spokesman for ski.com. Plus, he adds, "The terrain is fantastic." This year, the resort is offering free skiing and snowboarding to lodge guests with a 2012 season pass to any ski resort in the United States or Canada to make up for the lack of snow elsewhere. Lodging typically starts at $99; adult lift tickets run $69.
Mad River Glen - Vermont
Stowe or Killington may be Vermont's most recognizable resorts, but
Mad River Glen
best reflects the Green Mountain state's independent streak. The cooperative-owned ski area doesn't groom its trails, forbids snowboarding and keeps snowmaking to a minimum. "We prefer it from the heavens not the hoses," says resort spokesman Eric Friedman. Ski magazine has ranked its terrain as the most challenging on the East Coast. The resort's biggest claim to fame is its single-chair lift, the only one in North America. The mountain doesn't own lodging, but there are plenty of classic ski lodges and cozy bed and breakfasts nearby, with rates from $85. Adult lift tickets start at $45.
Schweitzer Mountain Resort - Idaho
High up in Idaho's panhandle nine miles outside of Sandpoint,
isn't as accessible as other West Coast resorts. As a result, it's unlikely you'll wait more than five minutes in the lift line. Then there's the 2,900 skiable acres -- more than neighbor Sun Valley. While the mountain is known for its off-trail skiing among the trees, the terrain varies from the bunny hill to steep, double-black pitches. The 6,400-foot summit affords skiers panoramic views of Idaho, Montana, Washington and Canada, as well as Lake Pend Oreille. Slopeside digs start at $164; adult lift tickets at $67.
Tignes, France
With its postcard-perfect Alpine scenery, breathtaking verticals and charming chalets, Val-d'Isère is one of the most beloved ski resorts in Europe. But
, its neighbor in the L'Espace Killy -- a ski area in France's Tarentaise Valley named for famed alpine ski racer and native son Jean-Claude Killy -- offers a similar experience and then some. A slew of off-beat activities like
under a frozen lake appeal to families. Together, the resorts, which are linked by cable cars, tunneled funitels and gondolas, offer nearly 200 miles of runs serviced by 102 lifts.
Valle Nevado, Chile
Serious skiers know the season doesn't end come summertime. It just shifts south of the equator. Come August,
Valle Nevado Ski Resort,
35 miles northeast of Santiago, is blanketed in deep powder. Newer than the storied Chilean resort of Portillo, Valle Nevado has all the bells and whistles of most modern mountains, including the only high-speed quad lift in South America, a brand new gondola and an onsite heli-pad.
At roughly $200 a shot and up to 4,500 feet of vertical in one run, heli-skiing is a relative bargain here. (Can't wait for that first run? Hitch a chopper ride straight from Santiago. The resort will send your bags ahead). Lodging ranges from the budget Hotel Tres Puntas to the luxe Hotel Valle Nevado. Hotel Tres Puntas runs $2,266 for seven nights (Friday to Friday) for two people, including lift tickets.
Seven-night packages include two interconnect tickets to neighboring resorts La Parva and El Colorado, opening up 7,400 acres of skiable terrain.

Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell Refutes 'Garbage' Report About Denying Wife Spousal Support
Last weekend news of Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell's divorce was unearthed by TMZ who also reported the guitarist was hoping to convince a court to deny wife Julie spousal support. Campbell owns up to the divorce on his Facebook page before taking the tabloid news site to task for irresponsible and inaccurate reporting about the spousal support.
In a statement, Campbell says he is bending over backwards to accommodate his wife of 25 years, who is also the mother of his two daughters.
It amazes me what people take for truth. If something is in print, does that automatically make it true? It's been reported that I'm filing for divorce and seeking joint child custody. That much is true. However, it was also erroneously reported that I'm seeking to deny spousal support when in fact, that couldn't be further from the truth. Those who know me will attest that I'm going out of my way to be as generous and accommodating as possible to my ex. However, the damage is done; my character and name are sullied because TMZ chose to publish without checking the facts. Since then that 'truth' has been picked up and carried by various news sites around the world and further purported as fact.
Personally, I wouldn't drink water from the gutter. Nor would I get my 'news' from the gutter press.
News of the divorce wasn't too much of a surprise as Campbell has been rumored to be dating a former member of Def Leppard's crew (according to Blabbermouth) who is now on the road with Steel Panther. Campbell all but verifies this on his Facebook page.
In a post from last Wednesday (Nov. 14) he writes, "For the past 4 weeks the woman I love has been working in Europe with another band with a big cat name. I've missed her so much and it's been total and utter s**t with her being gone for so long."
Def Leppard is currently preparing for a 2013 residency in Las Vegas. Tickets for Viva Hysteria! went on sale last Friday (Nov. 16).

Not an equivalent, there are actual Benedictines in WRO. Check out Christminster Monastery up in Canada. The the AWRV, the Benedictine rule is the only one approved, that I know of. I believe in the RWRV that some follow the Columban Rule.
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
The idea of an "oblate" as something other than a child donated to a monastery, is rather a post-Schism concept, sort of a third order idea, which however has been found useful for laypeople as a way to enter into a supportive relationship with a monastery, and this idea of being an "oblate" is something which has been accepted and is treated as a serious calling or way of life for a layman, by our Orthodox Benedictine monasteries.Christminster and Our Lady of Mt. Royal have oblates, and there are some Antiochian oblates who, in a pan-Orthodox spirit, receive instructions and guidance from a ROCOR abbot.

Formby was a great favourite of my grandfather, who came from the London/Barnstable area. This fondness for Georgie quite surprised me, as Grampa was an extremely conservative and doctrinaire guy -- he referred to the Beatles as "scum of the earth from Liverpool" and was too genteel to spit when he said "Liverpool" but you know he was doing it mentally.Donald Binks wrote:George Formby was much the same character in all his pictures - a gawky lad with prominent teeth in a perpetual grin who was a bit of a naive nincompoop and shy with the girls. He can be admired for not wishing to "cultivate" his strong Lancs. accent but one wonders why he achieved such popularity? Methinks it perhaps because audiences tend to show some sympathy towards the hopelessly inept, e.g., Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy. George was after all, a harmless and affable character - and why, he could handle a ukelele and warble in tune.
George breezes his way through "Much too Shy" (1942) which has him this time around as a village handyman in love with a local maiden of alluring qualities (Kathleen Harrison) who unfortunately is engaged to someone else (Eric Clavering). He has a little brother aged about 10, played by an actor - Jimmy Clitheroe - who was actually 21 (he had suffered damage to his thyroid gland at birth and never grew beyond 4'2", nor developed a deep voice).
George wants to be an artist but can only draw heads, so he enlists the aid of an art school in order to be able to draw bodies. Here he meets up with Charles Hawtrey, who despite having having a bit of a part, is only given scant mention in the credits. Charles and a bunch of others are heavily into abstract art and manage to fill in one of George's works with some nude (but discrete) representations. One thing leads to another and George's work is sold off to an advertising agency who use it in one of their advertising campaigns. Well, the whole thing creates a scandal in George's village because the heads on the figures are those of local women. They sue, but in the end we can say, along with George "that everything's turned out nice again". (Naturally he also gets the girl in the end.)
Plotwise, it's rubbish, but we take that for granted in films of this nature. Some of the dialogue is witty and funny - courtesy of Ronald Frankau who was one of the writers. There are a lot of nice set-ups and accompanying gags and a rather novel "chase" scene. George gets to sing a bit - well, it wouldn't be a complete picture if he didn't. The songs are of his normal slightly risque nature, pleasant enough at the time, but instantly forgetable after one has seen the picture.
It's interesting to spot the bit players - one of whom is Valentine Dyall (playing a defence barrister). Others partaking include Hilda Bayley, Eileen Bennett, Joss Ambler and Wally Patch. The direction is by Marcel Varnel. Made in 1942 it was surely a picture that would have taken the audience's minds off what was going on in the world around them at this particular time.
Perhaps Formby was like Vera Lynn, in the right place at the right time to have his/her somewhat limited talents and great personal charm become heroic wartime symbols of "England at its best".

Second-half goals from Marko Perovic and Sainey Nyassi lift the Revs over the league-leading Galaxy | RevsWrap >> | Revolution Postgame >> | GOALS: Perovic >> Nyassi >>
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Marko Perovic scored the game-winning goal with a stunning free kick in the 67th minute and the consistently dangerous Sainey Nyassi added an insurance tally seven minutes later, as the New England Revolution snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the league-leading LA Galaxy on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.
Perovic's goal midway through the second half snapped a 347-minute scoring drought for the Revs (4-9-2, 14 pts.), who hadn't scored since their most recent victory, a 3-2 win over the New York Red Bulls on May 29. Nyassi's strike in the 74th minute then defied the statistics once again, as the Revs became the first team to score two goals against the resolute Galaxy (11-2-3, 36 pts.) this season.
With the win, the Revs pulled themselves off the bottom of the table in the Eastern Conference and immediately climbed the ladder into fifth place. Despite the loss, the Galaxy remains six points clear of Real Salt Lake at the head of the league standings.
The Revolution made just one change from the lineup which suffered a 5-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake last Friday night, as Darrius Barnes replaced Cory Gibbs in central defense. Gibbs was ruled out after suffering a left quad strain in training earlier this week, paving the way for Barnes to return to the lineup for the first time since early May after recovering from a right foot and ankle injury.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, was without two of its most influential players in U.S. National Team star Landon Donovan and standout defender Omar Gonzalez. Donovan remained in LA to rest following his participation in the FIFA World Cup, while Gonzalez was suspended for yellow-card accumulation.
Just as they did against Real Salt Lake last weekend, the Revs started the match on the front foot as they pushed to snap a scoreless streak spanning more than three matches. But unlike they did in that loss to RSL – in which New England's game-plan broke down after conceding midway through the first half – the Revs stayed strong in midfield and controlled the tempo in the opening 45 minutes.
Despite New England's superiority in terms of possession, the first half was largely devoid of quality scoring chances for either side. The Revs threatened in the 13th minute when Shalrie Joseph's cutting through ball opened up the Galaxy backline, but indecision between eventual goal-scorers Nyassi and Perovic ended the chance. At the other end, Matt Reis – who made five saves to record his first shutout of the season – was called into action a few times by long-range shots from Edson Buddle and Tristan Bowen, but nothing which seriously troubled the Revolution goalkeeper.
With neither team creating any clear-cut chances in the first half, the most influential piece of action was an injury suffered by Revolution midfielder Jason Griffiths. The rookie – who was making his second consecutive start after earning his first career start last week in Salt Lake City – appeared to suffer a muscle strain in the 28th minute, and as a result he was replaced by Joseph Niouky.
While the first half was lacking in quality scoring chances, the game opened up shortly after the halftime break and the Revs almost took the lead in the 51st minute. Joseph was again the provider with a cleverly chipped pass over the Galaxy backline, but Perovic couldn't get around the ball and directed his shot just outside the left post and into the side netting.
Perovic didn't make the same mistake in the 67th minute, firing home from a set piece to give the Revs a deserved 1-0 lead. The original free kick was 30 yards from goal and Perovic's effort was driven into the Galaxy wall, but the ball struck Leonardo's hand and Perovic was given another chance 10 yards closer to goal. At the second attempt, Perovic drilled his shot low around the wall and inside the left post as Los Angeles goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts reacted late.
The Revs wasted little time doubling their lead in the 74th minute, as Nyassi grabbed the goal he deserved for his endeavor down the right wing. Joseph started the chance with a long-distance shot from 25 yards, and the effort deflected off Nyassi as he ran across the top of the box. Ricketts recovered well to push the ball off the left post, but Nyassi was left with the simple task of blasting the ball into the empty net from one yard out.
Second-half substitute Kheli Dube came inches from scoring a third for the Revs in the 81st minute with a fantastic turn and shot, but his effort flew just wide of the right post. In the end, it didn't matter as two goals were plenty enough to hand the Revs their fourth win of the season.
Just a few weeks after returning from the World Cup break, the Revs will now take another break from league play to participate in the group stage of SuperLiga 2010. They'll open the tournament by welcoming Mexican Primera División club Pumas UNAM to Gillette Stadium on Wednesday, July 14 for an 8 p.m. kickoff.

Did you see the season finale of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" two Sundays ago? A little background on my infatuation with the Kardashians... Right before season one started airing in 2007, I interviewed Kim Kardashian for Playboy. Kim was about to appear on the cover of the magazine when I interviewed her for Playboy.com; she happened to be in Chicago to make an appearance at a nightclub. I met her at her hotel (which I'd arranged with her momager Kris)—she was in town with younger sister Khloe—and when she answered the door, I hardly recognized her (I actually thought she was her sister Kourtney). She wasn't wearing a stitch of makeup, and was wearing a velour Juicy sweatsuit (this was 2007). She was beautiful and lovely; down to earth and candid, as we spoke about the controversial things going on in her life at the time (the now-infamous sex tape; her Playboy spread; her crazy Kardashian-Jenner family we were about to meet on reality TV for the first time).
After the interview, she invited me to join her at the club she was hosting an appearance at that night, along which I brought my then-boyfriend (now husband)—we were already holed up in Couplesville by then and hardly going out, but when I told Jay that Kim had invited us he didn't exactly hesitate.
So, I texted Kim when we got to the club, and she had one of her security guards bring us back to the VIP section they'd roped off for her. She hung out with us all night, and was gracious and sweet. I bumped into friends who were dying to meet her, and she couldn't have been nicer as I introduced her to people, and happily took pictures with us. It should be noted, she didn't drink a sip of alcohol all night, which shocked me. Her sister Khloe, on the other hand, 23 at the time, was having a blast—much more my speed back then. I remember thinking, Kim is not at all what she's been made out to be, trashy and irresponsible. Quite the opposite actually. I remember her telling me she was the "boring one" in her family, and I didn't really believe it.
So what does this have to do with fertility, you ask?
I've watched all eight seasons of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in awe, like most people, as the drama in their family keeps unfolding. But mostly I've watched in awe as the three leads—sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe—have evolved into mature, family-oriented women, wives and moms with extraordinary careers.
In particular I loved the season finale episode for a few reasons. 1) It documented, for the first time, Khloe Kardashian's struggle with infertility (she's 28), and I applaud her for going public with it. 2) It documented Kim Kardashian's decision to freeze her eggs (she's 31), and I applaud her for making that a public decision too. And, lastly: 3) It documented oldest sister Kourtney (32) going into labor with her second child, Penelope, and ultimately pulling her own baby out of her own vagina, without so much as an "ouch." Most amazing thing I've ever seen, next to the birth of her son Mason, which happened the same way and also aired on the show a couple seasons ago. I just applaud her, period.
So here we have three sisters on three different paths to becoming moms, a pretty interesting anthropological study of fertility and motherhood.
Most surprising to me was that Khloe, who's been married to Lamar Odom for three years, hadn't seen a fertility specialist until Kim urged her to. I'd assumed, like every other tabloid-loving American, she'd been down that road already. She seemed genuinely surprised to learn she wasn't ovulating, one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Why hasn't her OB encouraged her to see an RE or fertility specialist after almost three years of trying unsuccessfully? At least she's seeing one now.
I was also very impressed by Kim's decision to freeze her eggs—though we only see her starting to take stim shots and don't know if she actually follows through with it, good for her for being proactive about her fertility health. Whether she actually does it or not isn't the point: It sheds light on an issue a lot of unmarried 30-somethings grapple with. I happen to love the scene when mom Kris tries to help give her the shot in her stomach and isn't wearing her glasses and stabs Kim's finger instead. I'd probably kill my husband if he made that mistake, but it was priceless.
It made me think about my 31-year-old, unmarried self: If I'd been more informed seven years ago, would I have chosen to freeze my eggs? Would you? It's hard to say, but there's definitely a part of me that thinks, If only I'd known then what I know now… Let's discuss.

More than fun. Good practical exercise. Gary modeled this one after the field course they do at Raton. It's a little over a mile walk round trip going about 800 yards into the range by foot and walking back out stopping a various firing points to engage designated targets. The targets are of known size but unknown distance and you are only allowed to mil with a scope to estimate range, no lasers. The targets went from 150 yards out to 1,035 yards distant physically on the smallish side. Definitely mid to high level of difficulty even with a well tuned scoped rifle. You get three tries to connect on each target then get ready to pack up so the field group can move on to the next station. All together it's 4-5 hours and one or two boxes of ammo for a good time that will really sharpen one's rifle skills. I'm looking forward to the next one.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A woman trying to keep her family from learning she had dropped out of college called in bomb threats to a commencement ceremony at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, police said Monday.
Danielle Shea of Quincy, Massachusetts, was wearing a cap and gown when she was arrested Sunday.
Hamden police said Shea left the college this year because of financial issues, including an unpaid tuition balance, but her mother continued to pay thousands of dollars she thought was for her daughter's education.
''She was living off-campus. Her mother thought she was going to school,'' Hamden police Capt. Ronald Smith said.
On graduation day, Shea's mother tried to obtain a ticket for a ramp where relatives could take photographs of the graduates, but the registrar's office told her Shea was not enrolled. Shea overheard the conversation, then stepped away and allegedly called in the first bomb threat to try to cancel the ceremony, Smith said.
The threats delayed the start of the ceremony for the College of Arts and Sciences by an hour and a half, and it was moved to a second location at the indoor athletic arena as a security precaution.
Shea, 22, was arraigned Monday in Meriden Superior Court where bond was set at $10,000. Her attorney and a prosecutor asked for her to be released on a promise to appear, but the judge said he was troubled by the defendant's actions.
According to police, Shea made two calls to the university's public safety department. In the first, about 20 minutes before the start of the 6 p.m. graduation ceremony, she stated there was a ''bomb in the library,'' said police. In the second call, about 20 minutes later, police said Shea warned that ''several bombs are on campus'' and noted, ''You haven't cleared out graduation. That's not a good idea.''
Hamden and university police identified Shea using the cellphone number she'd called from and then found her inside the TD Bank Sports Center, where the ceremony was moved after the threats.
She is charged with first degree threatening and falsely reporting an incident.
Messages were left at her mother's home.
University spokesman John Morgan said 388 students were part of the commencement ceremony for the College of Arts and Sciences.
Two earlier ceremonies were held at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Its members are Wendy Herbener Mehne, flute; Paige Morgan, oboe; Michael Galván, clarinet; Lee Goodhew Romm, bassoon; and Alexander Shuhan, horn. Founded in 1963, the Ithaca Wind Quintet is one of the oldest woodwind quintets in the country and an active part of Central New York's musical life. In addition to its regular series of concerts at Ithaca College, the ensemble tours throughout the Northeast performing concerts for artists series, universities, and high schools, and presenting clinics, master classes, and demonstrations. The Ithaca Wind Quintet has been heard at major music conventions in New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Boston, Washington, D.C., and San Diego. In 1993, the ensemble participated and performed at the Symposium for New Woodwind Quintet Music at the University of Georgia and gave the world premiere performance of Dana Wilson's Mirrors at the National Flute Association Convention in Boston. In April of 1992, the Ithaca Wind Quintet participated in the world premiere of Karel Husa's chamber piece, Cayuga Lake (Memories), at Lincoln Center and performed at Lincoln Center again in March of 1995. In March of 1992, the ensemble recorded its first compact disc. This recording was produced as the Ithaca Wind Quintet's contribution to the celebration of Ithaca College's Centennial and includes repertoire by Husa, Riegger, Schuller, Paul Goldstaub, and Dana Wilson (composers associated with Ithaca College) and established masterworks by Ligeti, Persichetti, and Jacob. A second CD featuring masterworks by Karel Husa, Carl Nielsen, and John Harbison was recorded in 2004.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT water polo team hosted its annual Invitational on Saturday, welcoming Brown, Cal Baptist and Harvard to the Zesiger pool for the season opening competition. The youthful Engineers dropped three hard-fought contests on the day, falling to 0-3 to start the 2011 campaign.
In the opener against Harvard, the Crimson used a five-goal outburst in the second quarter to pull away from Tech and come away with a 13-5 win. Luke Babic and William Roller scored twice in the frame to give Harvard a 7-3 advantage at the half. Nikola Otasevic (Belgrade, Serbia) found the back of the net late in the third to cut the deficit to three but that was the closest MIT would get the rest of the way. Otasevic and Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) each tallied a pair of goals and Andrew Dorne (Irvine, Calif.) rounded out the scoring in the opener. Columbus Leonard (Mill Valley, Calif.) made six saves in the losing effort.
In their second game of the afternoon, the Engineers hooked up with the No. 21 ranked Brown Bears. Tech mounted a late comeback, including a pair of goals scored in the final two minutes but it was not enough to overcome an early deficit, as MIT ultimately fell 9-5. Dorne led the scoring in game two with a pair of markers while Otasevic, Matt Chapa (Baytown, Texas) and Dylan Hallman (La Jolla, Calif.) also contributed.
Tech also dropped the finale against Cal Baptist, 15-4, falling to a team that finished as the runner-up of the NAIA in 2010.
The Cardinal and Gray will look to bounce back next weekend, traveling to the Princeton Invitational for four games on Saturday and Sunday. Tech opens up against Iona College on Saturday at 3:15 p.m.

NAPA — With depth issues on the interior of the defensive line, the Raiders announced the signing of defensive tackle Myles Wade on Wednesday.
Oakland has been without projected starting tackle Pat Sims since the start of training camp with an undisclosed injury. During Tuesday's practice, both Vance Walker and rookie Stacy McGee left with injuries. Walker is also projected to start.
Brandon Bair, who can play both end and tackle, has also been a spectator during the last two practices, as has nose tackle Johnny Jones.
If none of those players are able to return to practice Thursday after a player's day off Wednesday, that leaves the Raiders with second-year man Christo Bilukidi and undrafted rookie free agent Kurt Taufa'asau.
Wade, 6-foot-1 and 300 pounds out of Portland State, spent time with the Seattle Seahawks last season but did not see game action and has also previously been in camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

When the Cubs sent Kris Bryant to Triple-A Iowa toward the end of spring training, the players union sent out a press release calling it a "bad day for baseball."
Bryant was leading the majors with nine spring training home runs and was the talk of baseball despite never having played a game in the big leagues.
Should the Cubs have let him start the season at third base at Wrigley Field, or was getting an extra year of service time out of the heralded prospect in exchange for two weeks in the minors the only reasonable move a rebuilding team could make?
The debate raged on for a while, with everyone chiming in with his or her opinion. Agent Scott Boras said the...

Have you ever tried to call into a radio station to win something? This week I have tried to win tickets to a private Martina McBride event (Hubby LOVES her), Stagecoach tickets for my girlfriend and I to go (they are $150 each) and entrance to a Pick A Purse party... to no avail. Here is the problem I have... how long do you try to get through? Do you just keep calling until they announce the winner or do you give up early? Once station was caller 25 so I called 45 times and then was done, another station is caller 102 – that one I try a bit longer but figure if they have 9 incoming lines they probably get their 'caller' in about 4 minutes TOPS. I have NEVER won anything and it's a real bummer. SOMEDAY!
I feel like that's been my week... calling with a busy signal.
This week needs to come to an end... thank goodness~ This weekend is going to be good, busy and hopefully I get a lot accomplished. Head over to Wifey's blog to link up your blog and to sign up for the MilSpouse Secret Santa!
1. The best part of October was spending time with Hubby and enjoy life as a total family.
2. The worst part of October was the weather being all over the place and not getting back to the gym.
3. For Halloween, I'll be Trick or Treating with the Vampiress (AKA Diva) in our NEW neighborhood with some of our neighbors! We have NEVER gone in our own area so I am pretty stinkin excited.
4. I hope that in November I get my chubby butt back to the gym (I think I may have seen some rear cottage cheese last night!)

US 'deeply concerned' by Syria 'toxic gas' claim
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says it's "deeply concerned" about reports that chemical weapons were used by Syria's government against civilians.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says the U.S. strongly condemns any use of chemical weapons and says the Obama administration is urgently working to gather information. Earnest says the U.S. is asking the U.N. to investigate and wants a Security Council debate.
Syrian anti-government activists say the regime carried out a toxic gas attack Wednesday, killing at least 100 people, but the government has denied that.
The attack coincided with a U.N. chemical weapons team's visit to investigate previous chemical weapons allegations.
The U.S. concluded in June that Syria probably used chemical weapons. That led to a U.S. decision to approve sending weapons to the rebels for the first time.

Pavot coat
Added Apr 30, 2014
Paris, France
I wanted a rather simple coat for the spring and decided to try my hand at Pavot. It's my first coat, which makes it a big achievement!!!
I didn't like the fact it was unlined, but I didn't consider myself experienced enough to draft a lining, so I interligned my cotton will with silk charmeuse and honk-kong finished all my seams with Liberty of London bias tape (that was pricey, I used maybe 18 meters)…
I also tweaked the original design a bit, lenghtening the coat, adding a back pleat and a martingale, and transforming the sleeves gathers into a pleat, to remind of the back. I drafted pleated patch pockets as well, since I don't like in-seam side pockets, but I was afraid it could look too "home made" if I didn't succeed to attach hem discreetly, as I'm not so good at fidgetty techniques like this…
I'm overall happy with the pattern and this project : even if it's by no means perfect, I'm proud of it!
You can find more pictures and details on my blog "here": http://www.carlottastermaria.fr/blog/pavot-des-panoramas/

Reforms to the system, as well as efforts by MacArthur grantee Asistencia Legal por los Derechos Humanos (ASILEGAL) to support and enforce them through litigation, were the focus of a two-part series by the national television agency Televisa. The stories feature interviews with staff at ASILEGAL, which provides legal assistance to indigenous people who often face unfair treatment in the criminal justice system. ASILEGAL's work has led to the freeing of several unjustly held prisoners in Guerrero prisons. Most recently, their efforts helped free Roberto Pastrana Reyes, who was held in preventive detention for more than five years without formal sentencing despite the maximum term under the Constitution being two years.

In the last few years, Communication technology by Near Field Communications (NFC) has experienced a lot of improvements. New Iphone5 has been announced with this NFC functionality for E-Wallet application. PREMO enlarges its SDTR1103 family with the new SDTR1103-HF series. This new SMD antenna is suitable for signal´s reception at 2MHz and/or 13,56MHz Transmitter/Receiver for NFC applications of RFID readers at 13.56MHz, NFC applications at 13.56MHz, and RF reception at 2MHz.
The SDTR1103-HF Series of Surface Mount ferrite wound inductor is the best solution when high electrical and mechanical performance is needed.Its length and cross sectional area are optimized to achieve the maximum sensitivity in the coil axis.The construction of the coil offer high mechanical performance due to the plastic base and ferrite laminate.
The antenna has a high surface resistance NiZn ferrite core material (>10Mohm/mm) and low initial permeability to work at high frequency. This provide a very stable performance in a wide range of temperature (-40ºC to +85ºC). The series has the same format as 125kHz transponders, SDTR1103 family. SDTR1103-HF is offered with 290uH/2MHz, 400uH/2MHz and 20uH/13,56MHz inductance values.
Its Surface Mounting Device (SMD) configuration allows an easy integration in an automatic printed circuit board assembly process, avoiding handling of the piece that could damage winding wire of the piece.
This Super Drop Test Resistance coil is especially suitable for applications which require high (drop-tests) requirements, like mobiles and key-fobs, etc. SDTR1103-HF2-0020K, is specially tuned at 13,56MHz and suitable for RFID applications with ISO15693 (vicinity: I-CODE) and ISO 14443 (proximity: MIFARE) interface.

Sept. 26, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - This past weekend, Mariah Hoover, Serena Lin, Joanna MacKay, and Elaine Ni represented MIT at the ITA Division III Women's New England Championship hosted by Bowdoin College. The doubles tandem of Hoover and Lin had the best showing for the Engineers by advancing to the semifinals. The last time Tech was in the top four was in 1992 when Sue Bach and Hana Ohkawa were semifinalists in the No. 1 doubles bracket and Pratina Rao and head coach Carol Matsuzaki were the No. 3 champions.
Hoover and Lin started the tournament by knocking off Jenna Mezin and Hali Walther (Wellesley), the No. 1 team in New England, 8-6. They quickly defeated Tracy Nale and Ginny Raho (Colby), 8-1, and then outlasted Becky Bram and Lisa Miller (Tufts) for an 8-6 win. Hoover and Lin's run ended with an 8-3 loss to Elizabeth Emery and Amy Roche of Middlebury College in the semifinals.
MacKay and Ni also did some damage in the doubles bracket as they posted an 8-3 first-round victory over Derby McDermott and Jamie Weiss (Wheaton). In their next match, MacKay and Ni fell to Cary Gibson and Annie Hancock (Williams), 8-6.
In the singles bracket, Lin, seeded No. 7, defeated Brenna Driscoll (Trinity), 6-1, 6-4. She then posted a 6-0, 0-6, 10-0 victory over Rachel Ghorban (Wesleyan) before falling to Alexandra Maclennan (Williams), 7-5, 6-4. Hoover and Ni both lost their opening matches. Hoover was defeated by Ania Prenata (Wesleyan), 3-6, 6-3, 10-2, and Ni lost to Amy Berkman (Middlebury), 7-6, 6-0.
