"No. Only paper is safe. The authorities are ever vigilant for sedition on the net. As we have learned to our cost, they scan constantly for the key words or phrases. Oh, a story or a poem might survive undetected for a while; I doubt the average policeman or Temple elder would recognise a Shakespeare sonnet if it were to beat them with a rubber truncheon. But there are key names and areas of knowledge which they pursue relentlessly. Not surprisingly, these are the same names and areas which every Humanist is pledged to study and to understand. Darwin and evolution above all, for the theory of evolution is the creed at the very core of the resistance, but there are many thousands of others....."

Espresso Shinto Screen 19 19
Japanese Expresso Shinto Screen for the House August 11, 2011
Awesome :) Attractive, study, divider that provides privacy. I'm considering getting another one. 5 stars! October 10, 2009
I love it! I love this screen! I've moved a few times with it, had roommates, and have used it in high-use areas where it was moved many times and it still looks like it did the day I bought it. Right now we're using it as a barrier for our bedroom in a loft style apartment and again... it's perfect. It lets natural light in and looks beautiful with any room style. I've only ever needed one, but I'm going back to get another soon! Another pro: I bought mine a few years ago and they're still being sold... Having something you love NOT being discontinued is a HUGE plus! I would highly recommend this product. Also, I like that the stain isn't completely perfect (as mentioned in a previous review) it gives it character. January 8, 2009
Sleek, beautiful screen! Instead of the usual ugly cubicle, I now have a clean, space to work. I love it! August 11, 2008
owned one for years.... i purchased this model screen in the 90's and it held up for years before wear and tear set in August 4, 2010
Very pretty, but tends to warp This screen works well in a living room as both a decorative accent and to camouflage an area you want to use for storage. It's very pretty and ultimately still works, but unfortunately it has begun to warp. We've had ours for just 4 months. I noticed the ones in the store were a bit warped, but I had hoped it was just because they had likely been moved around a lot. However, ours has warped as well and we have only moved it once. I was ultimately still satisfied with the purchase, but just be aware that warping may be a problem. May 14, 2010
Provides Privacy I like this item so much, we are going to purchase another one this weekend. Our shower is very large, no doors. This divider comes in handy to provide privacy to the bathroom area. Also, my husband insist that he store his 3 guitars and equipment in the corner of our large bedroom this screen hides everything when we have company. I recommend this item! November 10, 2009
Better than expected We bought 2 screens to block off the end of a hallway for storage space in our office. We were a little worried about the screens being made of paper, but were pleased at the thickness, strength of the paper. The black and white design goes very well in our space and it is not a high use area where we will be moving the screens often. November 11, 2008

The sunset criticism sounds to me like he's personally seen too many sunset pictures and therefore can't be bothered to look at any more. That's not a very professional or helpful attitude. What a tosser!
I think they are excellent - and Sinking Man always makes me chuckle.
Penfold wrote:Thanks guys.
It is normal to have one judge (a different one each time from outside the club) and their personal tastes do come into it quite often although most tend to judge on technical ability and composition. Most judges, however, also try to provide constructive criticism which is very useful but not what last night's judge was particularly doing. Supposedly, they are also meant to ignore the mounts the photos are on (not everyone has the necessary equipment to do their own, or the money for a framing shop to do it) but this judge was also basing his scores on these as well (mine are done in a shop, btw).
I will still carry on trying to avoid people in my photos which should make the next practical evening interesting - it is a portrait night and they are getting a couple of models in for it (male and female, btw, and NOT nude). Rather than use the models posing, 'though, I might try and take candid shots of the photographers themselves.
Arundel Castle is great for photos and I keep promising myself that I will go into the grounds to try and get some different angles of it.
Great photo, btw, Tiff but you need a gardener digging a hole in the front of the scene.

This is one of the best Happy Hours in Tucson....reasonably priced good wines and a nice selection of appetizers that are all good sized and delicious! Get here!
A wonderful place, Tucson is lucky to have it. Before you go to a big box wine store, stop here and you'll keep coming back. The owner is very full of wine knowledge and has never let us down with a recommendation. Go there!!!!
Okay but the food was underwhelming. When we went the waitstaff seemed to lack training. Lighting and table location was odd.
Overpriced wine and the worst hummus I've ever eaten! The brie appetizer is okay, but I wouldn't eat anything here unless it's happy hour, the food just isn't that good. I guess I should just say that it's plain bad.
Have you ever wanted to learn about wine without appearing ignorant around wine snobs? Well, I found Cata Vinos was just the place. Imagine relaxing in a comfortable atmosphere, sampling a variety of tasty wines. You will find the staff knowledgable & helpful, the patrons friendly, and the well stocked shop has something for everyone.....all under $15! Wonderful fun to go with a party of friends, although I'm just as comfortable going alone. Very welcoming.
A very well-kept secret! What a jewel. Most unique place for wine and wine tastings. Nice to know you are getting a good value (everything is under $15, but has to "pass mustard" to be in the shop) - even without the wine tastings! Highly recommend CataVinos!!
This place is wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and the staff are inviting (not pretentious). And you can't beat a wine-tasting for $10.
I enjoy visiting Cata Vinos but find it too expensive. $20 a couple adds up so I don't visit as often as I would like. Beverage House has tasting for $2 and they throw in cheese and crackers, too. The selection is great and Yvonne is very welcoming, however, I wish she would drop her tasting price.
Tucson's greatest little niche for wine! Great place to find affordable wines that you like (and not just the labels) ... and meet new friends, bonding over palates! Great place to take those out-of-town guests too, always a great theme tasting each week.
A great place to shop for delicious and affordable wine. Yvonne and her staff search the marketplace for those rare and up-and-coming wines to stock in the store and keep things fresh and interesting. Cata Vinos is out in front of the pack while the big box stores still lag behind the Tucson wine scene. Plus the wines are less than $15.
My partner and I love to start our weekends off at Cata Vinos for the Thrusday or Friday night wine tasting. Yvonne (owner) always has great wines selected for the tastings and we usually pick up a bottle or six from the tasting to take home and enjoy. It's a warm, friendly place were we can get together at the end of the week and relax or meet friends and catch up over delicious, very reasonably priced wines. Even though we live in Vail, we just have to get our regular Cata Vinos fix...it's definitely worth the trip.
This is a great place to wine-taste with friends as well as find wonderful wines at affordable prices. Yvonne and her staff are helpful and friendly. There's a large variety of wines, something for everybody's taste and pocketbook. The weekly wine-tastings are a great way to introduce yourself to the shop as well as meet your friends for a little socializing. For $10 you get 6 generous pours and, if you buy a bottle, the tasting is only $8. This is one terrific wine shop!
I HIGHLY recommend Catavinos and its owner Yvonne Foucher. Catavinos is a nice little bodega on the East side of town. It has a wonderful variety of foreign and domestic wines and a ceiling price, in the store, of $15.99. Catavinos offers a fine atomosphere for shopping, tasting, and learning about wines. Yvonne is a VERY knowledgeable and friendly proprietor who always has a smile and a tip on the latest tasty addition to her bodega. We live more than 20 miles from Catavinos, don't get there as often as we'd like, but still stop in to stock up whenever we're in the neighborhood. Despite not seeing us as often as her regulars, Yvonne remembers us, our tastes in wine, and greets us warmly. Don't take my word for it. I urge you to try Catavinos for yourself and note why it is a delightful difference on the landscape of Tucson wine stores!
This is one of those fabulous hidden gems of Tucson; tucked away on a corner just one block south of River on the southwest corner, CataVinos is owned by Yvonne Foucher....she creates a wonderfully intimate, warm, and fun environment, with great art shows changing about every 6 weeks, lots of good value wines, and knows her stuff. Whether you go for a wine tasting, or just drop in to buy a bottle or two, you will get excellent value for your money, and a terrific experience. Yvonne, and her staff, are more than willing to help, assist, guide you in making good decisions, and opening you to try new wines.
At the top of my list for a place to get together with friends and get to meet others. The price is right at under $15 per bottle.
I regularly get together with friends for wine tasting at Cata Vinos... Our form of happy hour. You can't beat the comfortable setting nor the prices for a great wine selection!
This establishment has closed.

- Orange juice
- Yogurt
- Margarine
- Soy beverages
- Fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel
- Beef liver
- Cheese
- Egg yolks
- Mushrooms
Health Implications
Populations at Risk for Vitamin D Deficiency
- Breastfeed babies—Human milk does not have enough vitamin D. Breastfed babies should receive a 400 IU vitamin supplement each day to make up for this.
- Older adults—Studies suggest that adults over age 65 have less ability to synthesize vitamin D through sunlight exposure than adults aged 20-30. They are also likely to spend less time out in the sun. Elderly women with vitamin D deficiency may benefit from taking D3 supplements. Talk to your doctor, though, before taking these.
- Locales with limited sun exposure—People who live above latitudes of approximately 40°N and below latitudes of approximately 40°S are at risk for deficiency during most of the winter months.
- People with dark skin—Those with darker skin are less able to make vitamin D from the sun.
- People who are obese —Body fat can bind to some vitamin D preventing it from getting into the blood where it can be used by the body.
- People with a reduced ability to absorb dietary fat—Because vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, fat is required for its absorption from foods. Some conditions that can cause fat malabsorption include Crohn's disease , cystic fibrosis , celiac disease , pancreatic enzyme deficiency, and liver disease.
Tips For Increasing Your Vitamin D Intake
- If you take a vitamin supplement, make sure it contains vitamin D.
- Drink vitamin D-fortified milk.
- Get sun exposure, but be careful to watch for sunburn. Sunlight is a major cause of skin cancer .

Colorado exempts from the state's sales and use tax all sales, storage, and use of components used in the production of alternating current electricity from a renewable energy source. Effective July 1, 2009, through July 1, 2017, all sales, storage, and use of components used in solar thermal systems are also exempt from the state's sales and use tax. The exemption for systems which produce electricity from a renewable resource includes but is not limited to photovoltaic 9PV) systems, solar thermal-electric systems, small wind systems, biomass systems, or geothermal systems.
The statute defines the components of a system eligible for the exemption; these include trackers, generating equipment, supporting structures or racks, inverters, towers and foundations, balance of system components such as wiring, control systems, switchgears, and generator step-up transformers.
The exemption only applies to ''state'' sales and use taxes -- not to sales and use taxes assessed by incorporated towns, cities and counties. However, Colorado has granted local jurisdictions the authority to exempt renewable energy equipment from sales and use taxes if a local government chooses to do so.

MODIFYING AN LT1 Corvette for improved performance can be a trying business. Aftermarket parts are scarce, the work itself is often maddeningly difficult, and even the most intrepid Corvette tuners may be inclined to treat you like an end-stage Ebola victim. Given these hurdles, we were pleasantly surprised to learn of Trick Flow Specialties' new Fast as Cast GenX LT1 top-end kit, which should be available by the time you read this.
Carrying PN TFS-K304-430-400, the package generates a claimed 430 horses and 400 lb-ft of torque when installed on a healthy, stock-displacement LT1 engine. If accurate, those figures would put a '92-'96 Vette's output on par with Bowling Green's latest, and restore much sorely needed performance credibility to the aging Gen II small-block. We'll be installing the full kit on our '96 C4 coupe in the weeks ahead, but for now, let's take a closer look at the package's specifics.
Heads TFS has offered GenX LT1 cylinder heads for a few years now, but the company's first effort employed largish 195cc intake ports and was intended for stroked or forced-induction engines. The new Fast as Cast version relies on a downsized, 185cc port that makes it ideally suited to naturally aspirated, stock-cube combinations. As the name implies, these heads are designed to offer superb flow right off the shelf, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming port work. TFS' Al Noe explains the concept:
"Fast as Cast is a process where we optimize the port design and shape (just like a CNC-ported head) and then make port core tooling to be an exact duplicate. With current manufacturing processes, we can make a cylinder head with tight-tolerance cast ports. We also CNC the chamber, CNC bowl blend, and CNC the intake manifold port opening."
Another characteristic that separates these heads from everything else on the market is the orientation of the valves. Rather than using the standard SBC valve angle of 23 degrees, the Fast as Cast heads employ valves that are rotated to 21 degrees.
"We did this to allow us to make a very tight, small [54cc], efficient chamber to keep the stock compression ratio, and also to keep the valve seats from protruding into the deck surface of the head," says Noe. "We could make a [23-degree] small-chamber LT1 head, but two problems would occur: first, the valve-seat ring would protrude into the deck, which makes milling the head a nightmare. The second problem is the small, tight chamber with a 23-degree valve angle is not a great design. Rolling the valve angle two degrees allows us to have a small, torquey intake port with an excellent-performing chamber design attached to it."
Other notable features include 67cc exhaust runners, 2.02/1.60-inch valves, and heavy-duty valvesprings suitable for up to 0.600-inch lift. In addition to being the prime mover in the Fast as Cast LT1 top-end package, the heads are available separately, as well as in a bare version.
Camshaft Realizing that few Corvette enthusiasts are willing to trade driveability for a few extra high-rpm horsepower, TFS engineers designed the package's camshaft to embody an acceptable compromise between enhanced output and everyday civility. The specs-0.530/0.530-inch lift (with 1.6-ratio rockers), 219/227-degree duration, and a 113-degree lobe-separation angle-are not dissimilar to those of GM Performance Parts' highly regarded LT4 "Hot" cam, which is perhaps not surprising given the latter's reputation for superb all-around performance.
Like any internal engine modification, the cam does require post-install ECM tuning, preferably performed on a chassis dyno. Given the power increases involved, that seems like a small price to pay.

- Rebecca Pierrette Ar-Rayes
Daughter and only child of Mourad Saber Shabaq al-Rayes and Rafqa Gemayel. Her mother died when Rafka was six. She and her step-mother never got along. The girl worked as a maid from age 11 to 15, announcing at age 14 that she felt a call to religious life. Her father objected, but at 21 she became a nun in the Marian Order of the Immaculate Conception at Bikfaya, taking the religious name Anissa (= Agnes), and making her final vows in 1856.
In 1871, her Order merged with the order of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The sisters were given the choice of joining the new combined order, joining other orders, or being released from their vows. Following dreams in which Saint Anthony the Great appeared to her, she joined the Lebanese Order of Saint Anthony of the Maronites (Baladiya Order) on 12 July 1871, a novice at age 39, taking the new religious name of Rafqa (= Rebecca).
On the feast of the Holy Rosary in 1885, Rafqa prayed that she might share Christ's sufferings. Her health began to deteriorate, and she was soon blind and crippled. She spent as much of her remaining 30 years in prayer as she could, but always insisted on working in the convent as well as she could with her disabilities, usually spinning wool and knitting. By 1907 she was completely blind and paralyzed. In a 1981 medical report based upon the evidence presented in the Canonization process, specialists in ophthalmology, neurology and orthopedics diagnosed the most likely cause as tuberculosis with ocular localization and multiple bony excrescences. This causes unbearable pain, but Rafqa was thankful for her special form of communion.
Late in life her close friend and supporter, Mother Superior Ursula Doumit, ordered her to dictate her autobiography, and Rafka complied. Near the time of her death, Rafqa asked that her sight be restored for a single hour so she could again see the face of Mother Ursula; the hour of sight was granted.
Beginning four days after her death, miraculous cures were recorded at Rafka's grave, the first being Mother Doumit whose throat was slowly closing so there was fear she would starve to death. Elizabeth En-Nakhel from Tourza, northern Lebanon, was cured from uterine cancer, through Rafqa, in 1938, the miracle which permitted her beatification.

A History of Innovation
The School of Psychology & Interdisciplinary Inquiry is one of four distinct Schools within Saybrook University. While the Schools are all guided by the mission and values of Saybrook University and its commitment to the humanistic tradition, each School retains its own vision, specific educational objectives, student learning outcomes, and adaptations of the Saybrook learning model that best suits educational needs. The Saybrook model of research and practice encourages the best that humanity has to offer, while also adhering to rigorous scholastic standards to study behavior and experience. By producing humanistic scholars, researchers, and practitioners, the School of Psychology & Interdisciplinary Inquiry contributes educated individuals who seek to create a better world.
The School of Psychology & Interdisciplinary Inquiry (PII) continues the degree programs and traditions of Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, founded in 1971 as the Humanistic Psychology Institute under the auspices of California State University at Sonoma and directed by Sonoma State faculty member Dr. Eleanor Criswell. Its creation was inspired by the legendary meeting at Old Saybrook, Connecticut, in 1964, when the humanistic psychology movement was articulated as an alternative to mainstream psychology. Gathered at the conference was an interdisciplinary group, including leading humanistic psychologists Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and Rollo May as well as scholars from other fields, such as Jacques Barzun from the humanities and Rene Dubos from the natural sciences. Their concerns focused on the narrow perspectives to understanding human experience that dominated both psychology and the other human and behavioral sciences at that time. Leading figures at the conference, such as Rollo May, James Bugental, and Clark Moustakas, served as Saybrook faculty in the early years. The founding of Saybrook reflected the basic humanistic belief expressed at the conference that human conscious activity at the individual and societal level is a work in progress for which each person and group is responsible. This vision still provides the ethical, pedagogical, and disciplinary foundation of the degree programs in the School of Psychology & Interdisciplinary Inquiry.
The School of PII continues to offer the two original degrees developed in the early 1970s: Psychology and Human Science. These two degree programs share an intellectual heritage that reaches back to the 19th century debates on appropriate ways to understand the nature, complexity, and subjectivity of being human. The Human Science degree program continues this important dialogue and poses alternate modes of inquiry essential for behavioral and social scientists who are attempting to seek a deeper understanding of the human condition. Saybrook is the only graduate school in the United States offering a degree in Human Science.
The Psychology degree programs in the School of PII are designed for individuals with interest in cutting-edge research and professional practices based on expanded definitions of development and well-being that embrace ethno-cultural diversity, the humanistic tradition, and a global perspective. Its flexible programs are well suited to individuals interested in research, teaching, health care, transformative social change, community development, consultation, mediation and conflict resolution, human resources, and advocacy, to name a few possible career paths.
Students in the master's or doctoral degree program in Psychology or Human Science have flexibility to shape their own academic plan to reflect individual academic and professional development goals. Students in the Psychology degree program may also focus their plan of study by selecting a Specialization in Consciousness, Spirituality, & Integrative Health; Creativity Studies; Existential, Humanistic, & Transpersonal Psychology; Jungian Studies; or Transformative Social Change. This School offers graduate education that helps students expand their outlook beyond the confines of a discrete discipline. Student learning encompasses a course of study that takes them beyond traditional field-specific boundaries. Discovery that is informed by a variety of disciplines and modes of inquiry can enliven each student's primary field of study and enrich the learning process.
Curriculum Learning Goals
The curriculum learning goals express the School's mission and vision as overarching tenets that inform the learning objectives of degree programs, Specializations, and courses. They guide and support students in aligning their own aspirations and program goals and objectives with Saybrook's mission. Student learning outcomes for each of the degrees are based on these goals. These learning goals support students to become:
• Leaders for life-enhancing social change
• Self-reflective scholar-practitioners
• Extraordinary thinkers who move beyond traditional disciplinary and paradigmatic boundaries
• Professionals who place their work within an expanded geopolitical, temporal, and socioenvironmental context
• Persons who experience intra- and interpersonal authenticity and compassion

Dish Depicting a Dragon Amongst Foliage
The elaborate carving on this circular dish extends through the red outer layer to a yellowish ground. The auspicious dragon at the center appears with a vaporous shou longevity character leaping from its jaws. These motifs and the complex technique demonstrate imperial taste of the early Ming dynasty; there is an imperial reign mark carved in a line In the middle of the red-lacquered base and infilled with gold. Dragons depicted on imperial wares always represented with five claws. On this dish, however, the fifth claw on each foot was later removed. Perhaps the dish was given to an official outside the imperial court.

One of the claws on each foot of the lung has been scraped away, probably to hide the fact that this plate was originally intended for imperial use. The rim of the plate contains the pa pao, or Eight Precious Things. On the base is the reign mark of the Jiajing emperor, incised into the lacquer and then painted in gold.

Lawmakers take gifts they voted to ban
Schnur and other supporters of the bans contend that gift recipients often feel a sense of reciprocity to those bestowing freebies on them.
"Let's agree that very few legislators will switch their vote in return for a basketball or concert ticket," he said. "But it's human nature to allow the person who gave you that gift a little bit more access and a little bit more of an opportunity to make the case for or against a bill that's important to them."
Josh Rubinstein, executive vice president and chief operating officer for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, said the organization is directly and indirectly responsible for 50,000 jobs in the state and contributes roughly $2.5 billion annually toward California's economy.
"Occasionally hosting public officials allows us to demonstrate firsthand the reasons for our positive impact on California," Rubinstein said. "At the end of the day, we are a customer-driven business, and we are grateful for any individual (public official or private citizen) that makes time to attend an event here … and then passes on the word about the great time that was had and the positive virtues of Del Mar."
Sens. Ted Gaines, R-Rocklin, and Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres, were among the top recipients of gifts after voting in favor of the ban.
Cannella reported two tickets valued at $420 to the U.S. Open Championship in San Francisco from AT&T and its affiliates; $378 in green fees from the California Correctional Peace Officers Association; $305 in racetrack passes from the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and $100 in San Francisco Giants tickets from Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
"I voted for SB 1426 because I believe there is merit to restricting the types of gifts that can be given to the legislature," Cannella said. "I can only speak for myself in that if I am given tickets to a sporting event, I am not influenced by those who provide them to me. I make decisions based upon what is in the best interest of my constituents."
Gaines, who co-authored the gift ban, reported receiving $582 in tickets to the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway from FedEx and Anheuser Busch. Gaines also took $75 of golf at Pebble Beach from the Association of California Life and Health Insurance Companies.
Gaines declined a U-T request for comment.
Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine, cast the lone vote against the gift ban. He then continued to take applicable gifts.
"I believe that informed voters are the real solution to preventing corruption," Anderson said. "That's why I support full transparency and online disclosure."
The gift ban faced trouble when the state's ethics watchdog opposed it, citing $200,000 of increased costs annually to enforce it. Schnur, a former chairman of the FPPC, suggested paying for that by reducing legislator daily expense payments by $5 a day.
"One of the first things that you learn in government is that you can always find a reason not to do something," he said. "If anyone either in the Legislature or on the FPPC thought that this was an important thing to do the chances of it happening would grow exponentially."
Blakeslee, who mounted several previous gift ban efforts and now heads the California Reform Institute, said he did not get the sense that the willpower was there.
"I would candidly say that during those years I pushed the gift ban it was neither loved nor embraced by either party and many legislators were quite blunt when they told me they wished I would cease and desist," Blakeslee said. "In a friendly way, but they were blunt. It was like, 'please, why are you doing this?'"

Hey! Listen!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Realmers of all ages, genders, and nations, welcome one an all to my very own contest, the "Link's Custom Inventory Guessing Game!"
You've probably seen my recent "Legend of Zelda" Link custom action figure. Well, pictured here are a whopping 35 accessories that I created for the toy. THIRTY-FIVE ITEMS!! Can you IMAGINE the time I put into building 35 weapons, tools, and other assorted trinkets and treasures for my little Hylian Hero? So much time and effort and love went into the project that I wanted to make a separate post exclusively for the inventory. And even better, I decided to make a little contest about it! Thus, Link's Inventory Guessing Game was born!
The rules are pretty simple; pictured below are 35 items that appear in the Legend of Zelda series. With a single, VERY obscure exception, EVERY GAME is represented . . . at least one item from almost every Zelda game EVERY PRODUCED is included in this inventory (no, remakes and Tingle spinoffs don't count). Your job is to tell me just what each item is, and what game it came from. Post your answers here in the comments, or in the original figure post on the showcase. You must submit an entire, complete list all at once (not one item at a time), and you can only submit ONE entry list, so make it count. Then, on Thursday, November 1, 2012, I will randomly choose a winner from all the correct entries, and that person will get a special prize! Yes, THERE IS REALLY AN ACTUAL PRIZE FOR THIS CONTEST! No, sorry, not the Link figure, and not any of the accessories pictured here, but TRUST ME, if you're a Zelda fan, you're gonna LOVE IT!
Easy, right? Well, here's the fine print:
1) Only established Figure Realm members may participate. No outsiders who just happened to hear about the contest from a friend or Facebook or Zelda fan site or whatever, and decided to come here and join up to win. You must have at least one custom posted on the site, or you had to be a forum member, BEFORE this contest opened.
2) You must list the item AND the game it came from. Most items on this list appeared in only one or two games. Certain items appeared in multiple games, but look different in each one. Those items were made based on their appearance in a specific title, and you need to tell me the SPECIFIC GAME THAT DESIGN CAME FROM. If an item design appeared in more than one title, tell me the first game it showed up in. If you're not sure, tell me all the games that used that particular design, and it will still count. But don't just try to tell me an item appeared in every game, because it's simply not true.
3) If no complete, 100% list is submitted by 11/1/12, the prize will go to the contestant who submitted the most complete list.
4) This is not "first come, first served." You have 7 days to submit a list, and you need to get as many right as possible to win, so take your time, do your research, and get them right!
5) There are NO country restrictions! If you win, and you live in Botswana, I'll still figure out a way to ship your prize to you.
Too hard? Need a little help?
1) Google image search is your friend. Also, Zeldapedia and Zelda Wiki.
2) As stated, remakes and Tingle spinoffs are NOT represented on this list . . . but a few OTHER spinoffs ARE!
3) All items are based on game artwork, NOT SPRITES. In-game sprites often look COMPLETELY different from manual art or promotional materials. Keep that in mind as you're looking up these items, particularly for the 2D games.
4) Several Zelda games have a specific item as their title. ALL of those objects are on this list.
5) Upon request, I can provide the reference art I used to make each of these accessories. It won't help you name them, but it might give you a hint as to where they're from.
6) The quiver isn't the item I want you to name. The object ATTACHED to the quiver is.
7) In case you didn't get the joke, the two crook staff items are actually one piece, painted a different color on each side. In the game, they are two different items. You need to name BOTH OF THEM.
8) One item on this list has NO official artwork. It's based on a real-life design for an item that appears in ONE game.
Good luck to all participants! May the Triforce of Wisdom lead you to victory!

According to a report from MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani on UFC Tonight, "The Warmaster" is eyeing a potential contenders fight against former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos as his first challenge of the new year.

College for Public Health & Social Justice > Admission > CPHSJ Graduate Admission > Frequently Asked Questions
What tests are required as part of the application?
Tests are required for all of the graduate programs at the College except the Executive Master of Health Administration (EMHA) and Master of Science (MS in Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness).
GRE or GMAT scores are preferred, but we accept any of the following score reports:
• GRE- Graduate Record Examination

• MCAT- Medical College Admission Test
• LSAT- Law School Admission Test (only for dual law degree applications or from law school graduates)

International applicants are also required to submit Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores unless they earned a degree from an English-speaking college or university.
Is the new Personal Potential Index (PPI) test required by any of the programs?
No. It is, however, highly recommended for MHA applicants seeking to strengthen their applications. For more details on the PPI test and how it can help you, visit www.ets.org
Can any of the tests ever be waived?
Score results are important evaluation tools for both the admissions and financial aid award processes. The only exemptions are for medical doctors and PhDs trained in U.S. universities. Foreign trained MDs are not exempted from submitting test scores unless they are currently enrolled in or have been admitted to a U.S. residency program passage of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) does not exempt students from the tests.
What are the basic Grade Point Average (GPA) and test score requirements for admission?
All applications are considered on an individual basis with a very balanced approach, taking into consideration a broad range of factors.
Ideally, applicants should have a grade point average (GPA) of at least a 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) to be competitive for most of the programs, preferably a 3.20 or better. Test scores are preferred to be in the 40th percentiles or higher for most programs, however there are no minimum cutoffs in most of the programs. If you feel your GPA or test scores do not adequately reflect your current aptitude please do not hesitate to contact our Director of Graduate Admissions for Public Health, Bernie Backer at 314-977-8144 or firstname.lastname@example.com or our Director of Graduate Admission for the School of Social Work Kristi Richter at 314-977-2752 or firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss your qualifications.
Who should write recommendation letters?
If you are a recent graduate, two of the three required recommendation letters should be written by academic professionals (i.e., from professors). If you have been out of school for awhile you are encouraged to submit at least one academic recommendation if possible, especially for the MHA program. In addition to writing about your academic abilities and work skills, your professional references should be encouraged to explain why they think you are strong candidate for the public health major and career you've chosen.
How can I schedule a visit to SLU?
For the best way to experience the exceptional learning community at SLU, we encourage you to attend one of the Preview Days. They are always on Friday afternoons from 2:30- 4:00 p.m. and provide opportunities to hear from and meet the school's leaders, faculty staff and current students. If none of the Preview Day dates fit your schedule, we are always happy to have you come at another time. Click here to RSVP for a Preview Day.
What kind of financial aid is available?
All students who apply for admission by the priority deadlines are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships and graduate research assistantships. Click here to find out more about the financial aid we offer.
Where do I send my application documents?
To avoid delays in processing your application, please do not send any application documents directly to Saint Louis University. If you are applying via one of the centralized applications services (e.g., SOPHAS or HAMPCAS), send all required documents through those services and as described in their instructions. If you are applying directly to SLU, go to the graduate admission homepage to apply or send your documents to:
SLU Graduate Admission Office
One North Grand
DuBourg Hall- Room 150
St. Louis, MO 63103
How can I check my application status?
Each of the three optional application services (SOPHAS, HAMPCAS and graduate.slu.edu) allows you to self-monitor your application status using the username and PIN you create when you apply. Please allow at least one week or so for submitted documents to be uploaded and reflected on your application. The SLU Graduate Admissions Office will notify you as soon as your application is complete. Shortly thereafter you will be contacted by the College for Public Health & Social Justice.
What happens after I submit my application?
After SLU receives your application and uploads all the required pieces into the university database you will be contacted by our Director of Admissions as soon as possible, usually within a few days to a week of receipt.
What else does an international applicant need to know before applying?
Although transcript evaluations such as World Education Services (WES) are not required, they are highly recommended and beneficial to your prospects for admission.
After you are admitted, you will be required by the SLU Graduate Admissions Office to submit a Declaration of Finances to demonstrate that you have the financial resources necessary to fund the entire cost of your SLU education and living expenses. I-20s will not be issued by the Office of International Student Services until your Declaration of Finances is received by SLU's Graduate Admissions Office.
If you'd like more information about our graduate degrees, fill out our information request form to contact our office of admission.
Applications are now being accepted. If you're ready to get started, apply now.

The widely used insect repellent Deet appears to be losing its effectiveness against mosquitoes, scientists say.
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine say mosquitoes are first deterred by the substance, but then later ignore it.
They say more research is needed to find alternatives to Deet, which was first developed by the US military.
The research was carried out on Aedes aegypti, a species of mosquito that spreads dengue and yellow fever.
The findings are published in the journal Plos One.
Dr James Logan, said: "The more we can understand about how repellents work and how mosquitoes detect them, the better we can work out ways to get around the problem when they do become resistant to repellents."
Deet - or N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide - is one of the most widely used active ingredients in insect repellents. It was developed by the US military, following its experience of jungle warfare during World War II.
For many years, it was not clear exactly how the chemical worked, but recent research suggests that insects simply do not like the smell.

Hey guys,
I really want to customise my own female action figures, however I'm really struggling to find any basic figures to customise. Any idea where I can buy female action figure dolls in their natural attire? (i.e. naked). I can only find really expensive character figures, or Barbie type dolls whose limbs don't move. I've come across the Hot Toys dolls, but again so expensive. I'd just want to buy 2 or 3 affordable action figures in the female form that I can dress myself. Any ideas? I'm from the UK, but I'd buy from America if that's where these figures exist!
Please help me out.

SLU Creates Department of Neurosurgery
Division Reorganized to Reflect Growth, National Presence
ST. LOUIS - Because of strong growth and in keeping with national trends, Saint Louis University's division of neurosurgery will be reorganized as a department. The change, effective July 1, will align the department with other academic neurosurgical training programs in the U.S., of which about 90 percent are organized as departments.
|Saleem Abdulrauf, M.D.
Nationally recognized for leadership, research, education and innovation in neurosurgery, the division is poised for future growth.
The department will be chaired by Saleem Abdulrauf, M.D., a leader in the field, who currently serves as vice president of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, secretary of the North American Skull Base Society and secretary general of the World Federation of Skull Base Societies. A pioneer in the field, Abdulrauf developed a high blood-flow brain bypass technique that is less invasive and keeps more blood flowing in the brain than previous bypass surgeries for brain tumors and aneurisms.
SLU neurosurgeon Richard Bucholz, M.D., who holds the K.R. Smith endowed chair in neurosurgery, has been named vice-chair of research for the new department. Bucholz is an internationally renowned innovator who, among other accomplishments, invented the Stealth Station, a device now widely used to make cranial and spinal surgery safer and less invasive. He has also pioneered the development of the radiosurgical program at the University and the use of advanced functional imaging such as magnetoencephalography to guide functional cranial procedures.
"With an ever-increasing national and international presence, our neurosurgeons continue to make their mark on the field," said Philip Alderson, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine. "Reorganizing the division as a department will better position our faculty to continue their exceptional work."
Over the past 18 months, the division of neurosurgery has added six new full time faculty members and opened the Center for Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Surgery, which brings together specialists from neurosurgery, neurology, head and neck surgery and radiology to treat patients from around the world who have complicated brain tumors and aneurysms. This Center will be folded into the new Department, along with the Division's activities in peripheral and cranial stimulation for psychiatric and degenerative neurological disorders.
In addition to patient care, SLU's neurosurgeons are leaders in education and research. Each year, SLU hosts courses for neurosurgical trainees at the University's state-of-the-art Practical Anatomy and Surgical Education Center, and conducts ground-breaking research, including a U.S. Department of Defense-funded traumatic brain injury study aimed at better understanding combat injuries.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, liver disease, heart/lung disease, aging and brain disease, and infectious disease.

So... you are encouraging religious diversity... by not allowing a specific religion?

Good. It's high time the separation of church and state be enforced unilaterally.
The religious indoctrination of children into ignorant superstitious nonsense (of ANY kind) is unconscionable in the modern age.
If, once they've grown to adulthood, the more gullible and cowardly want to seek comfort in such cults, so be it.
But children trust adults not to lie to them and any parent (well-meaning though they may be) who tells their child that any god is real is flat out lying to their own child.
Parents do it to make themselves feel better about the lies they were told by their parents. It's a selfish lie perpetuated ad nauseum.
It's time for the human race to grow up.

Fixed that for you, Sometimes those biblical glasses can get a bit blurry and cause christian persecution syndrome.
