Nancy close he said without a past wanna find out what's in it well that's typical Washington ... unfortunate and look very closely and UN now they are hitting the panic button has been precipitated by the fact that ... in the Virginia governor's race in tunic and Cuccinelli ran against Obamacare and almost close that gap and Terry McAuliffe and so they're all saying what bomb look there's a big political problem ... now ... Kathleen civilians the HHS secretary was on from this Democratic ... Finance Committee this week and Max Baucus said that her ... all I want this thing fixed by the end of November ... and the Senate Democrats want to see Obama said you gotta get this ... fixed this is the mantra it's gonna get that carry ... it's not going to get that did not getting it fixed a lot of these Democrats including an in your column this morning I in the newspaper ... Alinder prior to the pitch ... these are folks who are up for re-election I so that's why they cant that are there any other Democrats you are up for re-election then are voicing concerns well Ben Nelson Max Baucus my focus is retiring for heaven's sakes and up ... you know this is that on the Hurricane Katrina of entitlements that so few excluded is doing is causing devastation out there and that it isn't just the software isn't just the website where it ... is also the fact that people are having their insurance policies cancelled and finding that they're not going to be a Blago see their doctor use on the story has been repeated many many times ... and that's not going to stop unless you basically belong law the Affordable Care Act because it is designed to move people ... towards the exchanges so ... there is no reason to see why the Democrats are going to get any relief from the bad of press this pouring on of Obamacare why was present Obama did these guys some conference say yes Lots of problems for trying to fix it maybe we should get a one-year delay the individual mandate ... instead of this kind of relentless negativity ... I saw the insurer's well ... well ... the design what's coming don't know Mary is that the design belong in a way that require some of these they're saying the fact that some people would be losers Some see people would be winners ... and the question is from ... even Democrats who don't pay that much attention when they pass these laws why didn't you tell us that back then so the presents two primary statements you can keep your insurance plan if you would live if you like it and you can keep your doctor if you like your doctor ... both are proving in ... no small part to have been false ... and that is the present United States said something to the American people ... and so the political class that turns out to be false ... in American politics that's not good ... that causes the president huge political problems as it did for Richard Nixon and Watergate and of course for George W Bush ... with Katrina so I think the president ... is in the maelstrom and it's not ... obvious at all how he gets out of the ... present emails from Democrats against Obamacare Wonderland Columnist and Henninger ... thank so much for joining us

good one
Nef Yoo is the dreaded nephew of our darling Auntie Blackbeard- who runs an advice column (naturally anyone who'd actually follow said advice needs to have their daft head examined).
He's fine, just don't let him touch you or anything. And no you don't want to see his collection of pirate trading cards-it's a ruse to get you to drop your defenses so they can steal your ship.

Lennon says to expect the left-field wall to be 'shortened and pulled in,' the right-center bullpen fences to be 'pulled in,' and Mo Zone 'fenced off.'
The last day of the season, while broadcasting from Citi Field, WFAN's Mike Francesa reported ALL fences in the outfield will be 8 feet tall next year. Also, he said both foul poles will remain exactly where they are, but the walls in center and by the Mo Zone in right field will be 390 feet.
[avatar name="cerrone"]I still think the lack of substantial hitters is the reason for the team's lack of substantial offensive statistics. It's unrealistic to expect to be among the top teams in run production when you have rookies and bench players so often occupying the heart of your order. Nevertheless, I do agree with Sandy Alderson when he says the ballpark should be 'fair,' and these changes will obviously help that.
Lifelong Mets fan Tyler Armstrong of BedinWall Media created the following mock up to show what the ballpark might look like if the above changes are made:

The 50K race start and 100K turnaround will be at the
Your first impression might be that the old railgrade will suck. Well, that's not entirely the case. From the zoo, you will rise ever so slightly all the way to the intersection with Skyline Parkway (100K runners will descend ever so slightly to the turnaround). There is also a detour off the grade, under an old trestle that is somewhat unsafe to cross, up a singletrack trail to the aid station at Magney-Snively and then back down a rough, rocky old road/ATV trail to the railgrade. Once this detour is completed, you'll stay on the railgrade the rest of the way...skirting some washouts, enjoying some tremendous views of the St. Louis River, and passing cool rock cuts. It's actually pretty darn nice. A little easier than the normal Wild Duluth course, but also about a mile longer. I ran the whole thing to determine the distance, and it really is interesting and I don't like railgrades myself.
One thing to note. Runners with very minimal shoes without any rockplates will have sore feet after running on the grade. There is a lot of gravel and small rocks that poke the bottoms of your feet and they will be sore. You may want some more beefy shoes for this section.
Complete update with maps will be posted soon. Please refer to the main page of the website for all of the 2012 changes and info.

Infographic design needed
Budsjett €250-750 EUR
we need a simple infographic designed. We will provide the content for the infographic in bullet points as well as guidelines as to how the infographic should look like.
We're ultimately looking to build a long term relationship, so if we like the quality of the work that you provide, you will receive ongoing work from us.
The title of the infographic will be: "My CoolSculpting experience". It will tell the story of a woman going through the CoolSculpting procedure (it's a weight loss treatment), so essentially it will have 5 sections: the introduction, the first visit to the clinic, the day of treatment, after the treatment and the results; each one with an accompanying image.
To make sure you have read and understood this brief please write the word "orange" in your bid.
I have attached the text that will be converted into the infographic as well as some images as to what the images accompanying the text could look like. I have also attached a infographic about CoolScuplting for reference.
Looking forward to working with you!

BEFORE Rob Quiney made the transformation from KFC-loving park cricketer to Test batsman, his father, John, used to sit on a rock at St Kilda's Junction Oval and watch his son play cricket.
''That's Johnny's rock,'' said Nick Jewell, Quiney's former St Kilda and Victorian teammate and long-time friend.
John Quiney died from cancer in 2008, aged 58, but he will be well represented by relatives, friends and St Kilda cricketers at the Gabba on Friday when Rob receives his baggy green cap and makes his Test debut against South Africa.
''He'd be over the moon,'' said David Johnstone, former St Kilda Cricket Club president. ''He'll be up there, with his bourbon and Coke, having a bet, watching his boy play for Australia.''
Quiney joined Jewell at St Kilda in 1999-2000, playing in the thirds and fourths and working in a nuts and bolts factory before club sponsor Puma found him a job packing sporting goods into boxes.
Jewell says Quiney has his father's affable, knockabout nature, so has been instantly accepted in every dressing room he's entered. As an athlete, he had some work to do.
''I've always been chubby,'' Quiney said smiling this week, as he prepared for the serious business of his first Test after the excitement of his call-up for injured vice-captain Shane Watson. ''I still like KFC, but it's in moderation now … I know that if I do have the Colonel, I've got to burn it off the next day.''
For his rookie pre-season with Victoria, the late David Hookes, then coach, brought in AFL fitness trainers to shape up the squad. ''For Bobby, who was probably at his largest at that stage, it was a bit of a rude shock,'' recalled Jewell. ''I think he had some knee problems early and that was probably from carrying that extra load, but he's a totally different shape now.''
Quiney was a thumping batsman then, but shorter on patience than the experienced 30-year-old who will stride onto the Gabba in complete control of his game. ''He was very brash, very much a park cricketer with a good eye, hitting across the line,'' said Jewell.
''He'd play four or five dot balls then try to hit a boundary, but his talent was unbelievable. And if he got out he'd be straight back up sitting with the boys with a smile on his face. It's probably half the reason he got his start, I reckon. It wouldn't have been from dominating [club] performances. The type of guy he is, you just want him in your team.''
At first, Quiney recalled, ''I just thought I would play first XI, that would be the pinnacle.''
But after breaking into the Victorian team in 2007, and later proving he could be more than a short-form slogger, his ambitions grew. In the past two seasons, he has been one of the most prolific batsmen in the country.
''My first pre-season with Victoria was a massive eye-opener. It made me think, righto, you've got a good opportunity here, make the most of the talent you've got … I pulled my finger out and got a lot fitter, because I had to.''
Quiney, whose girlfriend Helen and daughter Amelia will be at the Gabba, hopes his hard road to the team will prove a firm foundation. ''I think it can be, and in my case I hope it is. But we're not going to know until the first Test, and see how I go.
''My main thing is, I don't want to be just another Test player, I want to contribute and do a job for them. That's the plan. I'd love to play more Tests and if that doesn't come … so be it. But what I do in this Test is up to me. The ball's in my court.''

Sept. 29, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT rifle opened the 2007 season with a solid victory against the Virginia Military Institute, Saturday, in Cambridge. Trumping the Keydets in the aggregate total, 4338-4335, the Engineers avenged last season's loss in which VMI out-dueled the Cardinal and Gray in both guns.
MIT secured the season-opening win behind a tremendous effort in air rifle. The Engineers scored 2230 point to finish comfortably ahead of VMI's top unit which posted a score of 2155. A second entry by the Keydets netted a total score of 1904.
Sophomore Emily Houston authored the highest score of the day in air with a total of 575. The Engineers also received a solid debut from rookie Joe Lane, who finished second on the club with a score of 563. MIT rounded out its air rifle contingent with personal records by Jennifer Paek (552) and Sarah Miles (540).
The Keydets topped the Engineers in smallbore with Chelsea Kosecki and JM Leenhouts finishing first and second, respectively, to pace the attack. Houston served as MIT's top marksman in the event, shooting 561 to finish four points off the total set by Kosecki.
Lane finished second for the Engineers in smallbore as well. The freshman shooter shrugged off tough scores in the standing position to post the highest score of the afternoon on his final target card. Posting 98 out of 100 on his second attempt in the kneeling position, Lane finished with a score of 537. Paek (508) and Miles (502) capped the scoring for MIT, which fell to VMI, 2180-2108.
The Engineers did secure a victory in smallbore over VMI's second team, leaving MIT with a record of 2-0 in air and 1-1 in smallbore after the first weekend of competition.

Mother Nature in winter can be a harsh mistress, not least because of the abbreviated vegetable selection that she doth giveth. And giveth. The strawberry or the fresh pea season begins and ends before you have time to harvest them, but your root vegetables - I'm looking at you, turnips, swedes/rutabagas, parsnips, carrots and celeriac - mock you week after week, making you feel you're imagining the days growing lighter and the weather warmer since the winter vegetables show no sign of halting their assault.
It's about February time that we start growing tired of mash in all its forms (parsnip and potato, celeriac and potato, carrot and potato...you get the idea) and another batch of roast vegetables or a giant stew stops being able to satisfy. Looking through the blog world to find inspiration for what to do with a spare khol rabi and celeriac, I found this recipe for a rosti using both ingredients. Mr A&N was beyond skeptical, not being a big fan of the khol rabi to begin with, but his opinion was transformed with the first bite. They were nutty and comforting, and just a little bit naughty because of the pan frying. Perfect winter food.
Since then, we've been coming up with lots of variations on that theme, all using our unloved winter vegetables left over at the end of the week. We've found that potato versions (where potato is the primary vegetable) crisp up the best, and that a combination of oat and cornmeal, put through the blender until it is smooth, brings that slightly nutty flavor to the pancakes that we both found so comforting. A recipe with about as many variations as it has name, in fact. So call it a rosti, call it a latke, make do with thinking of it as a hash brown, it's a great method of bring a bit of life back to the winter vegetables.
Winter Hash Brown/Latke/Rosti
makes around 10-12 fritters
Basic proportions:
- about 1 lb of grated vegetables (potato, celeriac, parsnip, swede/rutabaga, khol rabi)
- 1 large egg for binding it all together
- 1/2 C / 60g flour (you can get interesting with your flour, and add in some oats, cornmeal, etc to a blender and whizz it until it's flour consistency and add it to/have it take the place of the normal wheat flour)
- salt and pepper
- olive oil for frying
- Grate your vegetables, either using a blender or the large grating section on your grater
- If using potato, be sure to drain it of excess water by squeezing the grated potato out. Since the potato may go brown in the mean time, you can add a squirt of lemon juice to the gratings to prevent this (if the browness offends you).
- Mix in the egg and flour, and a bit of salt and pepper, stirring it all well.
- Heat some olive oil in a pan - if you want to be a bit naughty, add enough so you'll be shallow frying the pancakes. Otherwise, add just enough so the pancakes don't stick.
- Shape the mixture into patties between your hands. Try to get them as flat as you can (though they can be flattened further in the pan).
- Add the to the pan, not shifting them until they're cooked half way through (5 minutes or so, depending on how large or thick they are).
- Turn over, adding a touch more oil to the pan if needed.
- Serve warm, with dinner if you're in need to starch, or with breakfast if you're in need of a treat. Mixture can be kept in the fridge for 24 hours if you want to make some more for another meal.

Dealers/Park Owners Award Contest Prize
January 25, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Dealers/Park Owners Award Contest Prize
The winner of the 2010 Very Special Camper Contest drawing was Michael Wolbert of Leeper, Pa.
Wolbert and his wife, Janet, received $500 in gift certificates on Saturday (Jan. 22) at the Original Pittsburgh RV Show.
Campgrounds and RV dealers from Western Pennsylvania partnered to provide potential new RV owners over $500 of free camping when they bought a new RV from one of the participating dealers in 2010, according to a news release.
Each purchase of a new RV from one of the participating RV dealers entitled the new RV owner to one free night of camping for their family of four at all of the 17 participating Western Pennsylvania campgrounds and RV parks.
In 2011, any camper who stays at eight or more of the 19 participating campgrounds and RV parks and submitted their entry will be entered in a drawing to receive an additional $500 in Pennsylvania Campground Owner's Association (PCOA) gift certificates, which can be used at any PCOA campground across the state.
The program, according to organizer Dennis Quigley of Kozy Rest Kampground, was designed to provide a huge selling point with select RV dealers in Western Pennsylvania.
Quigley stated, "We (campground owners in Western Pennsylvania) are the first in the industry to partner with RV dealers to provide this kind of joint marketing program. This program, as far as we know, is the first of its kind to promote RV sales and introduce RVers to all the participating campgrounds in the region in a contest format. The number of RV dealerships and campgrounds participating has grown since the program's inception in 2009."
He went on to add, "The RV dealers pay for the certificate and poster printing costs. They hand the certificates out with the purchase of each new RV they sell. Each campground then stamps and dates the certificate when the customer redeems it at their campground to receive their free night of camping. And finally, the campgrounds then purchase the $500 of PCOA gift certificates, which we award at the end of the program in the drawing. For the lucky camper who camps at eight or more of the participating campgrounds and submits their stamped certificate as their entry will win $500 in PCOA Camping Gift Certificates."
"This program," according to Brookdale Family Campground owner Tim Chilson, "has been very successful in bringing new campers to our campground. The number of new campers that this program brings us is as good as many other higher priced marketing efforts that we've tried. It introduces new campers to our park, and free camping offers bring new, happy campers to your park! And if it's an existing camper that buys a new RV, that's a great thing too! It's a wonderful way to say thanks to existing customers for bringing their new RV to your park!"
The program for 2011 is already in full swing and is being used at RV shows to market RVs for participating dealerships.

Does anyone really care that the National Hockey League owners may be fewer than 48 hours away from locking out players for the second time in eight seasons?
It depends on who you ask.
Earlier this week, during random sampling of the lunch-time crowd at Tommy's Park in Portland's Old Port, it was hard to find anybody who knew about the issues separating the sides in the on-again, off-again negotiations of a collective bargaining agreement.
Across town, where a few men were getting ready to play in a pickup hockey game at the Portland Ice Arena, it was a different story.
The NHL and the players' association swapped proposals Wednesday in an effort to head off a lockout scheduled to start at midnight Saturday.
Not many people at Tommy's Park wanted to talk about it.
"I follow sports, but not hockey nor golf," said Jim Houle of Scarborough. "I don't follow them for very different reasons. I don't follow golf because nothing ever happens. The ball never moves. I don't follow hockey because I can't ever see the puck move, either. It moves too fast."
Houle wasn't the only person in Tommy's Park who didn't care about the lockout.
"I'm from Montreal but I don't like hockey," said Angelika Schecter, who was tending the information booth in the park. "The same way you have Mainers who don't like lobster, you do have Montrealers who don't like hockey."
Schecter, who speaks English, French and German, said visitors sometimes ask about the local sports teams.
"It could be the Portland Pirates or it could be the Red Claws," she said. "They just want to know what's here."
It could be the third time in 20 years a labor dispute has disrupted the NHL season. The last time, a lockout wiped out the entire 2004-05 season.
"I didn't miss it because I'm really not a pro hockey fan," said Gary Weiss, a vacationer who lived in Boston for 30 years before moving to Oklahoma two years ago. "I'm a college hockey fan. I just feel loyalty to BU because I want them to beat BC, but I don't have loyalty to the Bruins. For some reason pro hockey never sunk into my brain."
Said Houle: "I'm sure if you walked around the Old Port for the next two or three hours, you're bound to find one (person) who cares about it."
He was right. Among the dozen or so who were asked in Tommy's Park, there was one who actually cared about the labor dispute.
"The last time, it really seriously impacted the sport and it took them a long time to recover," said Mark Gatti, who runs a hot dog stand in the park.
"If it would happen again, it would take them years to recover. This is going to sound real vanilla, but the players and owners better meet on common ground in the middle because hockey as the fourth major sport in North America really can't afford another long protracted strike."
If the owners lock out the players this weekend, it could delay the opening of training camps scheduled for next Friday and the start of the regular season scheduled for Oct. 11.
The lockout won't affect the Portland Pirates, who are scheduled to begin training camp Sept. 28 and play their American Hockey League opener Oct. 13 at Glens Falls, N.Y., against the Adirondack Phantoms.
"This might help the Pirates," said Andrew Rice of Portland, while preparing to play in the hockey game at the Ice Arena. "They might get some two-way guys out of this, which actually might be good for Portland."
A two-way player is signed to a contract that pays one salary for time in the NHL, another for time in the minor leagues. Most NHL players are one-way players, paid for NHL play.
In the agreement signed in 2005, the owners agreed to a 57/43 percent split of revenue in favor of the players. When negotiations started last month, owners want to flip the split in their favor. Last week the owners offered a 48 percent share.
"Being a member of the military, I think the players don't get enough, just like the military doesn't get enough. That's a problem," said Mike Tully of Pittsburgh, a Coast Guard member stationed in South Portland. Tully, who was getting ready to go on the ice, is the captain of the Marcus Hanna, a buoy tender berthed in South Portland.
"The real losers are the fans," said Mike Komich of South Portland, who officiates Division I and III college hockey. "Hockey, in the last couple of seasons, particularly with the Bruins' success, has brought itself to a point of popularity, so I think the losers are the fans because the momentum of that popularity will be lost."
Komich, who is the business manager at Cheverus High in Portland, sides with the players.
"As I've studied the proposal, I do think it appears that the players are at a disadvantage when compared to some other sports, like major league baseball," he said. "I would think it would be nice to engineer some equity between the owners and the players so hockey is somewhat competitive with its major league counterparts."

When people think of Baltimore, things such as the aquarium, Camden Yards, the Ravens, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Chesapeake Bay, blue crabs and perhaps past crime shows immediately come to mind. But I believe we have another asset that is unappreciated and worthy of recognition.
The Boston metro area has a thin, green, linear, 1,100-acre open space area consisting of parks, waterways and parkways that, when viewed from the air, resembles an emerald necklace. This feature is difficult for most Bostonians to visualize from ground level but is, nonetheless, a symbol of the area and a source of local pride. Similarly, some Chicago-area residents take great pride in and identify with their large, 68,000-acre, somewhat contiguous Cook County Forest Preserve that forms a partial green ribbon around the metro area.
The Baltimore region not only has a number of outstanding parks and the internationally known Inner Harbor, with its outstanding public walkway, but also a system of protected open space, both public and private, that is arguably more impressive than that in Boston, Chicago and most other major metropolitan areas. Yet, it is not generally recognized, appreciated or marketed as a regional resource. The area to which I refer needs a name; I would call it the Baltimore Greenbelt. A greenbelt is defined by the Webster's dictionary as a belt of parks or farmland around an existing community.
The Baltimore Greenbelt, as I would define it, is tangent to all six jurisdictions of the Baltimore region. It begins with two stream valley or greenway state park bookends — the 18,000-acre Gunpowder State Park on the Baltimore County/Harford County border on the east; and the 16,000-acre Patapsco Valley State Park bordered by Baltimore, Carroll and Howard counties on the west. These two heavily wooded parks provide outstanding scenic, environmental and recreational resources. These parks, conceived more than 60 years ago, began to expand greatly as funding become available for park acquisition under the state's Program Open Space, enacted in 1969.
The second component of the greenbelt is our beautiful, often undulating and productive piedmont farmland. Farm preservation programs in three counties in the region — Carroll, Baltimore and Harford — are noted in a Farmland Preservation Report for being among the top 12 most successful, locally operated farm preservation programs in the country. In total, these three counties have protective easements on more than 162,000 acres of mostly farmland. Preserved farmland and woodland in Howard and Anne Arundel counties total another 42,000 acres.
In total, the Baltimore-area counties, using state and local financial aid, and working with landowners, have preserved some 203,000 acres of farmland, or 15 percent of the land in the region, according to the Maryland Department Of Planning. When parkland and other public lands are added, some 24 percent of the lands of the Baltimore region is in a permanent nondevelopable status.
The largely farmland portion of the Baltimore Greenbelt is located between the two state park "bookends." According to the Baltimore County Office Of Environmental Protection And Sustainability, some 35,000 acres of permanently protected easements on mostly farmland exists in the Long Green, Gunpowder and Piney Run valleys in Baltimore County.
What led to Baltimore County's success in maintaining such a large protected resource? It can be attributed to the establishment of a growth boundary in the 1960s, along with effective agricultural zoning and public and political support for a voluntary program of acquiring development easements on farmland, working with landowners and private landowner conservancies. The result is an impressive series of largely contiguous agricultural areas north of Loch Raven Reservoir and west over to Liberty Reservoir.
The third component of the Baltimore Greenbelt is Loch Raven and Liberty reservoirs, and their adjacent public lands, constituting some 17,000 acres of watershed protection areas and available for some low-intensity public recreational uses.
If combined, the three components of park lands (34,000 acres), privately owned and largely agricultural lands with restrictive development easements (35,000 acres) and the reservoir lands (17,000 acres) constitute an impressive total of 86,000 acres of permanently preserved open space. Traveling by car north, east or west, this area is 30 minutes or less from the Inner Harbor during nonpeak travel times. It may constitute the largest, largely contiguous, close-in greenbelt in any metropolitan area in the country.
The half-moon shape of the greenbelt I describe, located largely in Baltimore County, resembles the configuration of the upper portion of the Baltimore Beltway. The greenbelt passes through all six jurisdictions of the Baltimore region.
As Maryland and its jurisdictions seek to attract new businesses and encourage existing firms to expand, attracting and retaining top talent is critical. The perception of an area as a desirable place to live, work and play becomes an important factor in location decisions by employers and those who have been educated here and may be offered a job in our area. For talented younger workers, the "cool factor" is an important determinant in making employment decisions. Noting the presence of the scenic, close-in greenbelt, including its public lands available for recreation, could be a positive recruiting tool.
This is an amazing natural asset, whether we call it the Baltimore Greenbelt or something else. It is located close to our developed metropolitan area, is part of our regional identity and contributes to our quality of life. It should be given a name, promoted as a regional asset and enjoyed by everyone.

Hi Mark, I wanted to get back to you with an idea of pricing for the DMF flooring. You must keep in mind that DMF is not normal carpet!
Based on your dimentions, we would quote you a piece of material that is 8 feet wide by 5 feet long and you would trim it simply with scissors to fit the boat. The cost would be about $600.00 including tax plus shipping.

One Man's Mission to Get Every Woman in New York Topless [INTERVIEW]
In 1986, several women in Rochester, NY were arrested and convicted for picnicking topless in public. Since then, passionate women have been raising awareness about the right to bare in public places where it's already permissible for men to do the same.
Topless New York, as it came to be called, launched a Kickstarter campaign to help women go braless and wave their feminist flag (or, just go topless because they just felt like it!). We talked to Jeff, the Topless New York photographer and organizer, about the females baring all, the photos and the law.
What exactly is your project about ?
In 1986, a group of women in Rochester, NY decided to picnic topless in a public park, and they were arrested for it, because NY state law at the time defined "indecent exposure" as exposure of male genitalia, or exposure of female genitalia OR breasts. They challenged their arrests on constitutional grounds – and in 1992, the highest court in the state, the Court of Appeals, struck down that part of the law that made it illegal for women to bare their breasts in public. They said it was a violation of the state constitution's equal protection clause to allow men, but not women, to go topless in public, and the state had no rational reason to make the distinction on the basis of gender - so ever since then, women have legally been able to go topless in public anywhere in NY state that men can be topless. When I learned about this several years ago, I was surprised more people didn't know about it, and that more women didn't exercise that right. So I decided to help raise awareness by photographing women topless in public.
So we're guessing most women offer to go topless for your shoots. Do they all do so for the same reason or does it vary?
Their reasons have varied – some believed strongly in the equal rights argument, some were curious to see people's reactions when they take their shirts off in public, and some honestly just wanted a paid modeling gig and had no qualms about being topless in public to do it. Now that I've done "enough" shoots to get the project off the ground and I'm no longer offering paid shoots, the women who volunteer for shoots now are doing it for free, so mostly they just want to be involved in what they see as an exciting and important gender equality movement.
Why did you decide to do this project in particular?
I didn't really choose this project over a number of other possibilities; I really just decided one day that I wanted to do this, and never looked back. I'm not a particularly experienced photographer, and I don't have any aspirations to do it professionally, so I doubt I'll start any new projects after this one gets some real exposure; if anything, I'll just keep photographing women topless in public as long as they're willing to volunteer for it.
Did you feel it was your life calling to photograph topless women or is this a hobby turned career?
It's purely a hobby; I have another career. That's why I'm running a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to get the exhibit, calendar, book, and website off the ground – I've paid a few dozen models to shoot for this series, but I haven't made any money from it (with the exception of a magazine in Germany that paid to run a few photos a few years ago), so I'm in the red right now.
How many women have volunteered so far to be part of your project?
Close to a hundred women have volunteered, but not all of them have followed through. I've done close to forty shoots, and I have a few more scheduled at the moment. Most have been in the five boroughs of New York City, but I've also shot in Ithaca, Saratoga Springs, Albany, Binghamton, and Bear Mountain.
Have any women changed their minds mid-shoot or gotten cold feet?
Yes. A bunch of women have backed out of the shoot in advance, deciding that they couldn't go ahead with it, which I understand – and a few just plain didn't show up, which is frustrating. But of the women who've actually shown up, only one had difficulty with it – she was willing to open her jacket, but she was unwilling to take it off. There was only one decent I really got from that shoot, which was in the Socrates Sculpture Park in Astoria, Queens.
What kinds of responses (positive or negative) has your work received so far?
The work itself has received mostly positive response – people are intrigued, surprised, pleased, and generally entertained. I don't consider myself a great photographer, so I don't expect too many compliments on the artistic merit of the work, but I've had some nice compliments on that as well. It's the shoots in progress that receive negative response in the moment; members of the public don't always appreciate what we're doing, and a few observers have yelled at the women modeling for me, which is a shame.
How do you think the public will respond to your project since you're hoping for a future exhibit about this topic?
Well, a number of websites have run articles about my Kickstarter campaign and my photos, and so far in the comments sections, the reaction is pretty well split. Some people think bare breasts are a horrible thing, that these women are opening themselves up to getting raped or assaulted, that children will be corrupted and traumatized from the sight of bare breasts, and that it's the equivalent of a man walking around with his penis hanging out of his fly. Someone even suggested that because a devout Muslim is supposed to commit suicide if he sees a woman other than his wife naked, we're encouraging people to kill themselves.
Thankfully, a lot of other people think that first group of people is ridiculous. Frankly, I think the only reason that anybody thinks women's breasts are "naughty" is because someone once told them so – and a large part of the reason I started this project in the first place was that I believe ANYTHING that puts women into a more "shameful," more marginalized category than men is divisive and wrong. My hope is that the Topless New York series will help ease people – in New York AND in other states, where it's NOT yet legal – into the idea that everybody's got breasts, and there's nothing "right" about men's breasts and "wrong" about women's.
How many have you caught just wandering around topless versus the women who ask to pose for you?
None – though apparently that's been happening more lately, thanks to Moira Johnston, a NYC resident who's been wandering around topless the last month or so.
Why do so few people know about the equal protection clause? Do you feel like chaos will ensue and women will start burning brassieres if word got out?
I just don't think anybody's made a big deal of it yet. Certainly more people know about it now thanks to Moira Johnston, and thanks to "The Outdoor Co-ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society," another group that's been making public appearances lately. But the only way to spread the word is, well, to spread the word. And no, I don't think chaos will ensue; the whole idea of spreading the word is to "normalize" public toplessness. If my project succeeds, in a few years, nobody will still be shocked or offended by a topless woman in public. My work will have become unnecessary and moot – and I'll be perfectly happy to see that happen.

Hello again, lovelies! My apologies for not being able to write last week's column. As you know, Brandon and I attended National Pro Wrestling Day in Philadelphia, and traveling took away any opportunity to write. A few things:
– National Pro Wrestling Day, despite having some brief, gross, unpleasantness (I'm looking at you, Resistance Pro), was a wonderful experience full of great wrestling, hanging with old and new Wrestling Bros, sharing Halloween costume photos with Dasher Hatfield, and somehow becoming Kobald's Valentine. Jervis Cottonbelly, the World's Sweetest Man, was also there, and if any of you know anything about me, it's that I was elated to indulge in some Gentlemania. If you haven't checked it out, I encourage everyone to purchase it here, and get a taste of something wonderful we got to be a part of.
– Speaking of lovely masked fellows, you should head on over to The Wrestling Blog, where I wrote a thing you should read.
– Do you like the Social Media? Do you understand it better than Hulk Hogan? Why not follow me on Twitter? Or perhaps With Leather and/or UPROXX for all of your entertainment needs? There is a 27% chance we will tweet a picture of Brooke Hogan's legs, and only a 3% chance we'll get defensive about it.
– As always, comments, likes, tweets, shares, and tumbls are always appreciated. This may not be the best show or the best report, but if you're desperately curious as to what I do to procrastinate, hoo boy you best get to reading!
This week on Impact: We're (not so) live in the UK! Some boring stuff happens, tumbleweeds drift by, something you won't ever remember probably happens, and then something happens THAT WILL SHAKE ME TO MY VERY CORE.

Three Races, Three Bullets For Melges 32 Miami Grand Prix Leader Pieter Taselaar
5 March 2009
Pieter Taselaar (New York, NY) on USA-169 Bliksem with tactician Jeremy Wilmot, Paul Atkins, Michael Coxon, Willem Van Waay, Alex Clegg, Nathan Wilmot and bowman George Peet delivered an impressive 1-1-1 score line to assume the overall lead at the 2009 ACURA Miami Grand Prix. "It's mind blowing." commented an almost speechless Taselaar after racing. "I think what made the difference today was that we got some terrific starts. They were aggressive and at full speed. We had better boat speed than we've ever had."
Three course 4 races with a bearing of 065 at 1.7 nm legs were completed under steady breeze on conditions out of the east at 15-20 mph, lumpy seas and mostly cloudy skies.
Race one of the day spelled trouble for some of the fleets top teams including Marty Kullman and Mike Carroll (Tampa, Fla.) on USA-131 New Wave. They, along with Jason Carroll (New York, N.Y) on USA-128 Argo and North American Melges 32 Fleet President Stephen Pugh (Sausalito, Calif.) on USA-158 Taboo were called over early on the start issuing them an immediate set back.
John Kilroy (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-13131 Samba Pa Ti with Morgan Reeser on tactics was quick to take the lead at the first weathermark ahead of Peter Rogers (Limington, UK) on GBR-121 Highlife in second with Taselaar in third. Kilroy extended his lead downwind, and held on through the gate but Taselaar, Jim Swartz (Edgartown, Mass.) on USA-007 Q and John Taylor (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) on USA-1315 Ninkasi were hot on his heels eager to take over the top spot. Taselaar made all the right moves upwind. Phenomenal boat speed was his greatest weapon as he took over the lead from Kilroy now in second, Swartz pulled up for third followed by Taylor. Ultimately Taselaar took the win with the real battle happening in second place right at the finish line. Kilroy won his dual for second against Swartz, but Taylor launched an almost successful second place attempt coming on hot from the right. Kilroy narrowly took second, Taylor was third and Swartz was fourth. Kip Meadows (Rocky Mount, N.C.) on USA-77 roXanne was fifth.
The second race got started just past noon, this time Meadows looked to be out front early with Swartz alongside on the right. It was Swartz's turn to lead the pack around the mark with Meadows in second, followed by Taselaar. These three teams maintained position up through the final mark rounding where Meadows took a brief lead. After a troubled jibe, Taselaar and Swartz took advantage and charged forward with the leaders splitting apart and away from one another. Taselaar took his second bullet of the day in stride with Swartz in second. Third place went to Carroll.
It was business as usual for race three with continued mostly cloudy skies and the breeze still pumping. Another great start served Kilroy well as he found himself in the lead at the top mark followed by Meadows, Carroll rounded in third. Downwind Kilroy attempted to put some space between his Samba Pa Ti team and the fleet in an effort to secure the lead. Taselaar meanwhile came around fourth, rolling Carroll on the set taking over third.
Going into the gate Kilroy had a minor broach which allowed Taselaar and Meadows to pull forward challenging for the lead. Kilroy hung on to first with Meadows in second and Taselaar in third. Taselaar took out the right for pressure, as did Meadows. Kilroy's left side move cost him the lead. Taselaar took command of the fleet once more, Meadows was in second and Kate Mullin driving for John Sherlock (Port Credit, Ontario) on CAN-134 Arkle was third, Taylor rounded fourth with Joe Woods, Kullman/Carroll and Rogers rounding respectively. Taselaar's speed was just incredible downwind as he took his third bullet of the day. Meadows grabbed second and Kilroy settled for third.
Racing continues tomorrow, Friday March 6 where similar conditions and warmer temperatures are forecasted.

The City of Mosier has removed the controversial manager of its waterfront restoration project in an attempt to avoid costly fines for illegal construction.
Mayor Bill Ward said there was "no choice" but to ask Gay Jervey to step down from her contracted role. He said that was the only option that the City Council could take after it became clear that Jervey's refusal to follow proper permitting procedures throughout 2002 had landed the municipality in hot water with both state and federal oversight agencies. Currently, Jervey's violations of the Endangered Species Act have jeopardized $500,000 of federal grant funds administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The Oregon Division of State Lands is also threatening to levy almost $24,000 of fines — $6,750 of which includes Jervey personally — for a trail cut through a protected riparian area, installation of unauthorized culverts and fill materials dumped near the waterway.
"Gay had a lot of enthusiasm for this project and should be commended for that, but enthusiasm is like fire — you let it get out of control and it's going to burn you somewhat," said Ward.
However, Jervey is blaming the Forest Service for mismanagement of the project, saying the federal agency is so "paralyzed" by its internal process that it has failed to champion recreational opportunities as authorized by the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act. She is mounting a campaign that she intends to take to Washington, D.C., to have the agency's role in oversight of recreational dollars and projects taken away.
"The Forest Service doesn't seem to get it, in about two weeks we are going to have major use of the waterfront by recreationists and instead of being ready we are not finished and we could have been easily," Jervey said, referring to the oncoming tourist season.
The Forest Service shut down the restoration work along 12-acres of Mosier's waterfront last fall. At that time, officials expressed concern that Jervey had not finalized the master plan and then had not followed the draft model either. Jervey is accused of not following the rules and waiting to begin construction until the proper permits were all in place — in spite of repeated warnings to "cease and desist" construction activities.
Jervey contends that last January she showed about 300 people an outline of the work that was to be accomplished — and no one objected then to either her plan or timeline.
She said the work was repeatedly held up because Mike Ferris, the sole Forest Service administrator, was gone most of the time on other business and she wound up trying to force action by making at least weekly trips to the Hood River office.
While Jervey is working toward Scenic Area reforms that she believes are long overdue, the city has chosen its own planner, Dotty Devaney, to take over Jervey's role and utilize her land-use expertise to get the work back on track. Ward has vowed to meet all Forest Service requirements to obtain $74,000 of reimbursement requests that were declared "questionable" in the agency's recent audit.
That official scrutiny determined that some of the listed expenditures were unauthorized because there was no "notice to proceed."
In addition, the Forest Service has disagreed with procurement procedures, the city's activity reporting system for employees and contractors paid on an hourly basis, and failure to obtain written quotes from three qualified bidders before assigning jobs.
"It was a great surprise to find out that nothing was being taken care but we will do everything in our power to have all good work be paid for," said Ward, who inherited the problems that were ongoing last year when he took office on Jan. 1.
Meanwhile, Jervey is advocating that a Recreation and Restoration Working Group be formed to establish "reasonable" timelines for activities and projects.
She envisions that organization operating out of the "Rainbow Epicenter" in Mosier, an old rock quarry adjacent to the residential area.
Jervey would like to see that site used as a nursery to propagate Gorge native plants, establish a fuel recycling station and alternative energy center, and provide learning and training facilities for volunteers and interested parties. She is lobbying federal officials to allocate $300,000 per year to operate the center which would also partner with many other agencies and private non-profit groups.
"Most importantly, the economic infusion to local economies that additional recreation would bring has not occurred.
"Just as with economic development funding that was promised in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act, this has left the Scenic Area with all the burden of additional regulation and with little or nothing of the promised rewards," wrote Jervey in her proposal that has been sent to both state and federal legislators.
