The Party City circular that arrived in our Sunday paper had an interesting grouping of costumes for teen girls.
While I think they were advertising a witch costume for teen girls what I saw was a hooker witch costume for teen girls.
The Batgirl costume also appeared to actually be a Hooker Batgirl costume. The Sailor, devil, milk maid, pirate, Red Riding Hood and even Raggedy Ann all appeared to be working the streets with ridiculous short skirts and some revealing bust lines. Just FYI, the Pocahontas outfit covered the most skin. Here's the Web site so you can see what I'm talking about.
I'm not trying to say this is Party City's fault. It just happens to be the Halloween costume circular I looked at. But it is a problem over all in society.
I think it was the movie "Mean Girls' a few years back that said Halloween was when teenage girls got to release their inner slut. I personally think that's pretty scary!
(Here the actual quote from "Mean Girls": Cady: [voiceover] Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.)
How did Halloween become the holiday to look trashy?
What do you think of the teen girl Halloween costumes that are mass produced and available in stores? Do you think they are too revealing? Are you shocked by what you see teen girls going out in on Halloween?
What are your rules for costumes, especially for teen girls? What is your teen daughter going out as? What are some good costumes that won't make them look they'll be working on a corner later that night?

Next time your at Party City take closer look at the selections. This has been going on for the last 4 years that I recall. It's this type of costume selection that make it difficult to explain to my 10yr old daughter that certain outfit are just not appropriate. Parents must be buying this crap if it keeps coming back year after year.

Easy solution: Don't buy the costumes. They're hideously overpriced, anyway, for the cheap little bit of ill-fitting fabric that you get. We always made our costumes — I sew, so we always enjoyed going to JoAnn's early in October and picking out a costume. My daughter enjoyed the medieval princess looks, so she was usually covered from the chin down to her ankles, and I got to enjoy playing with some really interesting fantasy fabric! The shortest costume she ever wore was a Power Puff Girl costume she wore to school one year — I made the pink, blue and green dresses, and they bought the short wigs and white tights — they looked adorable!
And, BTW, it's not just the Halloween costumes that make teenage girls look like sluts, when clothes in the stores are tight-fitting and scooped down to their navel!

We have a culture that glorifies the "slut" appearance whether it be in teenage girls or women in general. Go ahead and thank those wonderful examples like Brittney and Madonna, navel rings, tramp stamps. Our culture has made a trashy appearance central to popularity. Good luck trying to reverse it.

The purpose of Halloween is to dress up one day a year like something you are not. It's not like girls who wear these costumes dress like this all the time. And if these costumes didn't sell well, they wouldn't show up in the circular or on the web site in the first place. This is how real life is, adapt or die.

I see some lovely comments here by people who obviously do no have daughters and think that the 'slutification' of young girls is perfectly ok…especially with them. No wonder this country and indeed the world around us is going to hell-in-a-handbasket. Adapt or die, you say…I say you're already dead in more ways that you can possibly understand.

[...] teen news – local(∆) and national Costumes for teen girls too trashy? – Reporter/mother worries teen costumes are all the hooker version, hooker witch, hooker [...]
October 20th, 2009
7:45 am
Theresa, I totally agree with you. The costumes are too risque for girls. They are even marketing them in the small sizes (7 to 8) and those are for younger girls not teens. I find it very disturbing.
I certainly don't agree with the adapt or die mentality. It is that type of laissez faire thinking that has undermined the roles of parent and child. I am a firm believer that if you don't stand for something, you will surely fall for anything.
October 20th, 2009
8:12 am
If parents did not buy them, businesses would not sell them – let the free market reign.
October 20th, 2009
8:16 am
If lecherous men didn't find slutty looking young teenage girls appealing then there would be no market for garbage like this. And heaven forbid a father should instill in his daughter a little worth beyond her appearance…
October 20th, 2009
8:18 am
This is not just a Halloween problem as one poster already noted. I recently saw a young girl about age 8 wearing Juicy Couture sweatpants. How did I know? The word "JUICY" right across her bum was a dead give-away. Am I the only one that thinks inviting the public to stare at your pre-pubecent girl's a$$ is beyond bad taste and bordering on bad parenting?
October 20th, 2009
8:21 am
Look at all the prudes on here today…DAMN.
Sex sells…..deal with it.
October 20th, 2009
8:24 am
have any of yall tried to buy 'decent' clothes for your teen girl lately? and even younger than teen…someone said halloween is a night to dress like you normally dont..BS!!! it takes a lot of looking to buy clothes that arent skin tight…jeans pubic hair low….shirts low enough to just about show the belly button…pants so low you can see things that should be seen by everyone in the world…its not just halloween…its a shame…and its not just halloween

It doesn't help when the school approves ridiculously short cheerleader skirts either. When I was in high school, we had a strict 3″ above the knee limit (a little too strict for some of the taller girls), but an exception was made for cheerleaders who wore their uniforms to class on game days. Their skirts barely covered their, um, assets…
October 20th, 2009
8:26 am
It's not limited to Costumes. Teen aged girls have been getting sluttier and sluttier every year. Short shorts that say "Juicy" on the butt…..Even the little kids are tramping out…..low riding pants, make up at 9 years old.
So instead of bashing Party City for slutty costumes, go complain to JC Penneys, Kohls, etc. AND go ahead and blame the parents that allow their girls to dress like tramps.
October 20th, 2009
8:28 am
Vork…no…I will not teach my daughters that their worth is based on their looks and their sexuality. It makes for people who propagate the crap you a spewing here. It is obvious where you find your worth…and that is sad…as are you.
October 20th, 2009
8:28 am
I agree that the costumes are slutty looking on girls, but if you don't want your child to wear them, don't..As others said, parents keep buying this crap and thats why it keeps coming back year after year..When my 7 year old granddaughter wantst o buy something like that, I just tell her that it will make her look not nice..She's ok with that..
October 20th, 2009
8:31 am
Indeed, Mary. This is indicative of a societal problem that started with the whole 'moral relativism' craze that changed how parents taught their kids. Parents are to blame… and to some degree the cretins above are right… market pressures drive this sort of thing. But that doesn't make it right…and it doesn't make it something we have to just 'take' or 'deal with.'
October 20th, 2009
8:32 am
So if I am to understand some of you correctly, you are saying that since these scraps of cloth masquerading as costumes are available, being marketed to impressionable girls, purchased by said girls, and (presumably) approved by their parents, turning preteen and teen girls into objects is fine with you? Wow. I assume you don't have daughters, because if you did, you would loathe the message these costumes send out to the girls (your body is an object to be shown off rather than respected).
Girls need to know that their sense of self-worth cannot be suspended one night simply because of a date on the calendar. The implicit message they are getting (especially the younger girls) is that if they can dress like this, even for one night, there's nothing wrong with showing their bodies off for the other 364 days. Halloween doesn't change who you are. The girls know that, and believe me, the boys who see them in these costumes know that too!
October 20th, 2009
8:43 am
Good luck getting anything to change….like I said…sex sells…that being said….let the neighbor's kid dress like a slut……as long as your kid doesn't why do you even care?
October 20th, 2009
8:54 am
I have NEVER allowed my daughter to look slutty. She wasn't interested in that look anyway…..she has her priorities and being a slutty dresser is NOT one of them…..She has good taste in cloths and nothing is skin tight.
You need to leave SOMETHING to the imagination….and not put it all out there.
October 20th, 2009
9:01 am
I don't think this phenomenon is limited to Halloween. As many others have stated, look at the racks of clothes for girls these days? Better yet, take a look at the kids coming in/out of high school and middle school!
I realize that there are "trends" that come and go. I think as parents, we should be responsible for stopping some of them. Yes, kids have their own ideas, BUT, we buy the clothes! You can still be trendy without looking like a "ho ho"!
Why go to Party City for a "pre fab" outfit? How about using your imagination to create your own?
Vork is right when he says "sex sells". However, as a parent, it doesn't have to sell for your child!
October 20th, 2009
9:10 am
Vork…because you and your ilk believe that people should be judged on their appearance rather than their character. You poison society with it. That's why I care. Women are 'good' as long as they are 'hot.' Otherwise they are not worth your time…and by extension society's time. What a sad, pitiful view of the world you have…
October 20th, 2009
9:13 am
Prudes. This country is full of people scared of the human body. We all have curvy, bulging parts, even teens. Deal with it or move to Iran and wear a burka. (Or at least buy a burka for your daughter so that you feel better.)
October 20th, 2009
9:17 am
Vork, that was a touching story. Thanks for posting it.
I'm no prude by any stretch, but I do NOT want a see a young girl dressed like this. A young lady 18+, I would LOVE to see dressed this way ;)
To me it comes back to parents doing their job of being parents and setting ground rules as to what is acceptable and more parents need to learn a new word "NO".
October 20th, 2009
9:17 am
@notgonnagiveit your views appear feminist or puritan. Either way, get over yourself. People of *your* ilk deem people who are "hot" as "bimbos" or "sluts" when the fact of the matter is they may be as intelligent and as "good" as you and aren't afraid of what nature has granted them. What isn't worth society's time is this nanny state P.C. wussification of America.
October 20th, 2009
9:18 am
What an angry person you are. That to me is sad. One should not be so angry. I'm a realist and as such I tell it like it is. Optimism is wasteful and pessimism is defeating.
I do have a 5 year old daughter and as such I would not allow her to wear revealing clothing until such time as she is old enough to be on her own and make her own decisions. My daughter is my responsibility, noone else's.
As I said, let the neighbor's kid dress like a slut, as long as your kid doesn't why waste your time trying to control something you have absolutely no control over?
October 20th, 2009
9:21 am
Teenagers are exploring their sexuality through clothing?!?!
Surely this is a brand new phenominon! Surely we are the first generation to think that our children are wearing inappropriate clothing!
I bet that half of the women here complaining were told by their very own parents that their clothes were inappropriate and at the time they probably felt like their parents "just don't get it".
Its a part of growing up to explore the things that your parents object.
October 20th, 2009
9:24 am
Amen to those screaming this is not just with Halloween. Trying to find my 10yo step daughter clothing for church and the annual father/daughter dance is a nightmare. Thank goodness she wears school uniforms-I am all for those and used to be totally against them. All of the fabric for girls this ageis cheap looking and the look is hooker chic. To find more modest "preppy clothing," I end up spending a small fortune. I bought her 2 dresses last year at Hannah Anderson and I got them a size too big so that she could wear them this year too. Polo and J Crew make decent looking stuff, but again it is expensive. Target has the most age appropriate clothing at the best prices, but it is tough to find. Thank God she is a little tom boyish and not into the trashy look for the most part. She did ask for a ho dress for the father daughter dance last year and that was quickly vetoed. She ended up in a simple black velvet tank dress that covered everything!
My husband would make her dress like an Amish girl if he had his way, her mom and I both prefer more conservative "preppy" clothing for her but it can be a little more stylish than the Amish look. Good luck to all you moms fighting this battle. It is awful out there…
October 20th, 2009

Yeah that story was a good one, and I'm not one to get all sappy.
I'm glad you could get to the site as it looks like the link I posted might be broken but if you highlight the entire link and paste it into your address line it should work.
October 20th, 2009
9:30 am
The problem isn't that parents object to their kids wearing this stuff, its that some parents object to ANY kid wearing this stuff.
Where do you draw the line on dictating what other parents should be allowed to let their children do?
I mean, for some people, the line might be a revealing outfit on halloween, for others it might be reading Harry Potter.
Its one thing to say, "not in my house" and another thing to say, "not in anyone's house".
Yes, a line is drawn somewhere, but do you really think you should be the one to draw it.
October 20th, 2009
9:35 am
I think this is a better link than the one I posted earlier and it's much shorter….again I'm not one to get all sappy, but this story is a good one:
October 20th, 2009
9:44 am
Thank goodness when my daughter was that age, we lived up north. A Halloween costume had to go over a winter coat.
Oh, and BTW, Cady wasn't condoning that "slut" attire in the Mean Girls movie. She dressed as a zombie bride and was shocked at how the other girls at the party were dressed. Hence the quote "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."
October 20th, 2009
9:45 am
I think you all have missed the boat completely here. The reason the costumes are prevalent is due to the fact that ADULT women have buying and wearing these for years. It has just recently trickled down to the teenage sector.
Another problem caused by "do what I say, not as I do."
October 20th, 2009
9:59 am
What is even worse is that the teen girl section of this site has a "career" sub-section. The choices are: maid, candy striper and diva. Are you kidding me?
October 20th, 2009
10:05 am
.. and of course the boy's "career" sub-section has doctor, pilot, firefighter and policeman. So sexist!
October 20th, 2009
10:08 am
Dress like a slut, get treated like a slut. And don't give me the "Just because I dress like a slut, doesn't mean I am a slut" line. If you were in distress and I was dressed like a police officer and you came to me for help, how would you feel if I said… "Just because I'm dressed like a Police Officer doesn't mean I am a police officer." Get a life.
October 20th, 2009
10:11 am
SRH… I agree it is sexist. But, it's supply and demand and the demand is to dress like sluts
October 20th, 2009
10:19 am
Its JUST a costume, your only young once and its just dressing up, partying and having fun for one night of the year where you can be something your not. Its all good fun and our own choice, seriously don't some of you have anything better to do? like go to work or something? let us teens party while we are young… theres really nothing you can do about it so let us live before we get old and boring…
October 20th, 2009
10:22 am
@Vork..Just saw the website that you posted..I really, really feel for this family..I lost my Mother to ovarian cancer 19 years ago..She lived 11 years after that had told her that she would only live 6 months..SHe passed away on Sept. 11, one month before my wedding..
October 20th, 2009
10:26 am
OMG…….all of you get over yourselves…..If you think the outfits are too risque…then DON'T buy them. Leave everyone else alone….Let the free market reign…..
October 20th, 2009
10:29 am
I think what Lana meant was that "I'd like to think there's nothing adults can do about it, but I'm just a stupid kid and don't know better. With my limited knowledge, I don't understand how adults could have (at one time) been young and know what I'm talking about and could ever have a clue. And, when I said 'let us live before we get old and boring,' I should have said before I get pregnant because I seem (and probably am) so easy."
October 20th, 2009
10:30 am
Lana, you should actually learn how to spell instead of wanting to party while you are young. You will probably need the teen girl "career" costumes when you get older – I am sure they will add a pole dancer one at that time.
October 20th, 2009
10:30 am
Totally agree Theresa, although I must say as a senior at Norcross HS I did dress up as Leia in the infamous Golden Bikini.
October 20th, 2009
10:38 am
Like OMG! I like TOTALLY need to get over myself! I, like can't have an opinion about seeing young girls dress as sluts. Like, WTF! OMG!
October 20th, 2009
10:45 am
One has to wonder who is calling the shots in the purchasing department when it is time to decide which new styles will make it on the shelves. Some parents buy this junk, because there are not many choices. Last year I tried to buy jeans for my then 5 yr old, and most of the stores had snug fit hip huggers.(for a 5 yr old!!)I have to scour the racks to find things that are not trashy. There are some sick people that enjoy looking at 5 and 6 yr olds dressed like Hannah Montana with hip huggers and belly button showing. A few months ago my daughter pointed to black lacey outfit which looked like lingerie. It was a size 6X. Unfortunatley this style is being pushed on us, because choices are limited. The material being used for these outfits is also cheap.
October 20th, 2009
10:49 am
Lana: Your != you are; you're = you are. Its != it is; it's = it is. Proper punctuation makes your 'point' easier to understand. The internet is killing grammar and spelling.
October 20th, 2009
10:52 am
Halloween time is yet another reason I am SO glad I have 2 boys! I didn't ever want to deal with girls and their clothing, haha!

A key ingredient for lower food bills
The go-to protein for vegetarians can also work miracles for a carnivore's food budget.
I'm not the first frugalist to sing the praises of beans, beans, the frugal fruit. Even though their price has risen along with just about every other foodstuff, dry beans can still be had pretty cheaply, especially if you hit warehouse clubs or ethnic markets.
Beans are the go-to protein for vegetarians but they can work miracles for a carnivore's food budget, too. As John Steinbeck wrote: "Beans are a roof over your stomach. Beans are a warm cloak against the economic cold."
A big chunk of the world's population relies heavily on the lowly legume, which can be made delicious in endless ways. With so many recipes online, there's no reason not to eat them.
Well, there's one reason, but you can always try Beano. Or leave a window open.
The eponymous blogger at the Hillbilly Housewife website includes a lot of beans in her "$45 emergency menu."
"That's because meat is expensive and beans aren't," she writes. "Beans provide lots of good protein for growing children and hard-working adults."
How else could you feed four to six people for $45 a week without using a single coupon?
Adaptable and delicious
Dry beans are a big part of my diet because they're cheap, healthy and incredibly easy to fix. About once a week I pour two cups of beans into the slow cooker, producing enough protein to keep me going for quite some time.
I'm something of a lazy cook; I don't make trying new recipes a priority. My bean pots usually turn into the sorts of salt-of-the-earth meals found in the Hillbilly Housewife's roster, such as bean burritos or lentil-vegetable soup with dumplings. (Post continues after video.)
Legumes can be upscale, though. Over at Cheap Healthy Good, blogger Kristen Swensson offers up delights like black bean and tomato quinoa, escarole and white beans, and couscous with chickpeas, tomatoes and edamame.
- Bing: De-gassing beans
"(They) come in a range of flavors and sizes that can be adapted to thousands of dishes," Kristen writes. This time, however, she limits herself to 42 recipes.
A healthful superfood
If you regard edamame or quinoa with suspicion -- and you shouldn't -- then check out "5 cheap & easy rice and bean recipes" at Moneycrashers. Kristia Ludwick shares easy, delicious-looking dishes like Cajun red beans and rice, and an Italian white bean soup.
Legumes are low in fat, have no cholesterol, and provide lots of fiber and protein, Ludwick writes, "making them a healthy superfood and a great substitute for meat."
Personally, I like a little meat with my beans: a bit of ground beef in chili, or diced ham in a pot of pinto beans. When I was at my lowest point financially, the "meat" was likely to be a neck bone. Nonetheless, it made a satisfying supper. Sometimes it still does.
Readers: Got any bean recipes to share?

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Title Update 14 (TU14) and 4J Studios made the wait a little more unbearable Friday with some images teasing what's to come. What's more, one of those images appears to tease the yet-to-be-released Xbox One Edition.
An image of two TVs running Minecraft was posted on Twitter by 4J Studios with the message, "Look at these lovely baby Mooshroom plushies!" While the plushies are adorable, of more interest is what's being shown on the TVs.
The bottom image shows a desert temple in the Xbox 360 Edition along with a tripwire hook plus what looks like a wheel of cheese. [Scratch that. That is pumpkin pie]. We aren't sure about that last one as this isn't an item that was included in the 1.3.1 update for the PC version of Minecraft and the image is a little blurry here.
The top image shows subtle changes to the button icons which indicate that the Xbox One Edition is being displayed. The jungle temple is the focus here while the item bar shows an Emerald plus three other items.
4J Studios previously stated that they intend to release updates to the all console versions Minecraft at approximately the same time so TU14 will be coming to the PS3 Edition soon as well. There is still no word on when the Xbox One Edition and PS4 Edition will be released.

Linda Sinclair is a forty-year-old unmarried high school English teacher in the small town of Kingston, Pennsylvania. She shares a small apartment with two Siamese cats and her rich collection of great literature. She maintains no close personal relationships aside from those she has with her favorite authors and stories. Her life is far less complicated than the dramas she devours on the page, and she likes it that way.But Linda's simple life turns an unexpected page when former star pupil Jason Sherwood returns to Kingston after trying to make it as a playwright in New York. Now in his 20s, Jason is on the verge of abandoning art, pressured by his overbearing father, Dr. Tom Sherwood, to face reality and go to law school. Linda can't stand the thought of Jason giving up on his dreams so she decides to mount his play - a dark, angst-ridden, ambitious work - as a Kingston High School production, with flamboyant drama teacher Carl Kapinas directing.As Linda, now well out of her normal comfort zone, takes further risks in life and love, the stage is set for highly comic downfall. With the play, her reputation, and her teaching career on the line, Linda finds an unlikely ally in herself. Amidst the ruins of her formerly perfect life, can she find a way to her own unique storybook ending?

A leader in bringing nanotechnology to consumer products.
Nanofilm's history can be traced to the earliest pioneering of nanotechnology. In the early 1980s, Nanofilm co-founder, Dr. Scott Rickert, was already researching self-assembling thin films as part of his work as a professor at Case Western Reserve University. The company began as a spin-off of that research and was co-founded by Dr. Rickert and businessman Don McClusky in 1985. The company's initial expertise enabled the manipulation of coatings at the molecular level to enhance the durability, clarity, ease of use and performance of transparent materials.
Nanofilm's first commercialized product was in response to a need in the professional optical market. A new generation of high-technology polymeric eyeglass lens materials made old-style coatings and conditioners obsolete and unacceptable. Recognizing the growing need for a new approach, Nanofilm developed ultra-thin coatings to protect, enhance and condition this new breed of optical surfaces and coatings.
With an in-house team of nanotechnology specialists, the company continues to leverage its rich technological strengths and core competencies to capture growth opportunities in nanotechnology applications, including work in the automotive, marine, electronics and household products markets, among others. Nanofilm has a full slate of development projects, including a number undertaken with and for partner companies in the U.S. and around the world. The results will have application at the OEM and aftermarket level. Find out more.
In tandem with Nanofilm's ophthalmic coatings, the company developed lens cleaning, care and refresher products. In fact, the first product was launched at the request of a major optical company as a companion product with eyeglass lenses featuring Nanofilm's coatings. Today, Nanofilm's surface care products are distributed around the world for the care of electronic displays, such as computers, cell phones and MP3 players, as well as cameras, scopes, eyeglasses and sunglasses. These products are sold both under the company's own brand name and a series of private label products, as amenities in hotels and resorts, and as promotional items. You can find consumers using Nanofilm products by the millions in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Nanofilm today. And tomorrow.
Nanofilm continues to be a privately held company with headquarters in Valley View, Ohio, near Cleveland. The company has grown to 65 employees and has two facilities providing 50,000 square feet of research, production and executive space. Find out more about our management.

A dramatic picture taken by Michael Nolan has been dubbed the face of Mother Nature crying on a canvas of melting ice and cascading water on a Norwegian Glacier. Randy Schutt discovered this amazing photo which shows a crying face in an ice cap located on Nordaustlandet, in the Svalbard archipelago of Norway. The tears of this natural sculpture were created by a waterfall of glacial water cascading from one of the face's eyes, thus painting an alarming picture warning the world about the effects of global warming. Michael Nolan is a marine photographer and environmental lecturer. He has captured this picture while on an annual voyage to observe the glacier and surrounding wildlife. It's best to quote Nolan's words on this:
This is how one would imagine mother nature would express her sentiments about our inability to reduce global warming. It seemed an obvious place for her to appear, on a retreating ice shelf, crying."

2013 Writing Contest: Future World: How Would You Like to Pay for That?
Second Place Creative Writing
The Hand Print Effect
December 29, 2019
Dear Mr. John Smith,
Thank you for requesting information on the Hand Print Effect, the wave of future finances. We guarantee banking with us will be a breeze. With the Hand Print Effect you have all of your finances literally at the tip of your finger. There will be no more need to find an ATM, you cannot forget your wallet, and your identity can never be stolen. With the worldwide transition date approaching, April 15th, 2020, we are pleased that you came to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
Let me explain how the Hand Print Effect works. You will need to have four nontoxic chips placed in both your left and right wrists and index fingers. This process will take no longer than 2 minutes and can be done right in any Cleveland Clinic location that is most convenient to you. With the chips you will receive a silver wristband that will show you all of your account information in holographic form. The Hand Print Effect is very safe and effective and works just like a credit card. You see, a credit card has its own unique number so when swiped the money can be taken from the connected account, but your hand print has its own form that can't be copied as well, so the process is the same. The difference from a credit card to your hand, is your money is always with you and only you can use it. You will be able to set your default account for basic everyday transactions, like buying gas, and you can switch to other accounts for different transactions, like a mortgage payment. Since the transition to the Hand Print Effect will eliminate cash and under-the-table transactions, it is also a tax deduction.
The wristband will help you manage your money. There are many tabs and settings to help you organize everything, just like in your wallet. Your car payments, mortgages, credit cards, and anything that requires monthly payments will be under the 'Bills' tab. When you need to pay your bills at the end of the month all you need to do is pull up your holographic screen and drag the money to the needed tabs. You will still have savings and checking accounts, and you will be able to track all of your retirement and investment accounts. If you wish to take out money from your retirement accounts or a home equity loan, you must go to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland or any authorized location to complete those transactions, but you can freely work with investment accounts. If, for example, you have a loan under your name and your spouse's name you will both be able to see the account on your wristband as well as pay on it, and joint accounts can be viewed and used by both people.
Everyday transactions, like buying a pack of gum or going out to dinner, can be made by placing your hand on a green hand grid and the money will be taken out of your default account. Since the Hand Print Effect will eliminate all forms of cash, if you would like to give money to a friend or family member you will just simply hold your hands together so the wrist chip and finger chips are touching. You will then tap your wristband and push the amount of money to the new tab that will appear from the friend's chip. When you apply for a credit card the account will appear on your wristband screen and then you can set it to be your default account if you wish. Your paycheck can also be directly deposited to your wristband or you can pick it up from your employer's hand grid. Also, if you are planning to travel, changing the currency is as simple as raising your hand! At any designated currency counter you can convert your money to any other currency.
Since the Hand Print Effect is unique just like you, it has many safety features. Your identity cannot be stolen because of your unrepeatable handprint and magnetic code implanted. No one can spend your money without your hand. Another great safety feature is when someone's trying to steal your money your heart rate can shut down your wristband. When you have the chips put in, your heart patterns are entered as well. This way if someone tries to make you transfer your money unwillingly to them, your set 'shut down' heart rate will freeze your accounts.
The Hand Prìnt Effect is the new way to handle your finances. You will be able to manage your accounts with ease, whenever and wherever. You will never have to worry about losing your wallet or your identity. The Hand Print Effect will help you get the most out of your money. We look forward to seeing you soon to help you take the first step toward your new financial future!
CEO Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

As long as I can remember I have always been fascinated with computers; it was this strong interest that lead me to study ICT at A level. I have excellent computer skills, which I have developed through my hobbies and interests. For example, by playing multiplayer Role Playing Games, I have learned how to setup up peer-to-peer and small workgroup networks. At university I hope to expand my knowledge of computing into areas that I have not yet studied; I am keen to learn about network construction, programming in different languages and how the languages vary. This degree course will give me an extensive range of stimulating career prospects.
As part of my A level course I have had the opportunity to create a system for an extensive business related problem. This involved analysing the current system and communicating regularly with the end user to provide a suitable solution to their needs. The end result was a system that enabled orders to be processed and printed simply and efficiently by clicking a few buttons. I am currently creating a relational database for a gymnasium which will store information about clients, gym classes and bookings made. I feel that this has already given me a foothold in the world of computers and will help me immensely when I come to do my degree. My brother, who has a degree in Computer Systems, has been a motivating force in my choice of study.
In year 12, I was nominated to be the ICT Manager of Menzies High School Young Enterprise Group, a task that I have enjoyed thoroughly and this enabled me to develop my teamwork and communication skills. I have also worked for a CD manufacturer, which has given me some valuable experience in the workplace and trained me in working efficiently and consistently within a team. I also learned the importance of managing my studies around my private time more efficiently.
I keep fit by visiting the gym on a regular basis. By going consistently I have developed a regular routine which helps me to keep mentally and physically healthy.
This year I was captain of a local football team and during the season we managed to win the league. I felt a huge sense of achievement, being rewarded with a trophy and a medal. It also improved my leadership and team working skills.
I keep up to date by reading articles in PC magazines; currently I am very interested in the development of Windows new operating system Vista. I subscribe to technology forums on the internet which also provide valuable information.
I am confident that my current knowledge and experience will enable me to be successful in attaining my degree and pursue a career in network administration.
I am a dependable and reliable person and I believe punctuality and organization to be very important, as well as application and effort
I am committed to succeeding and I look forward to the opportunity and challenges that university life will provide
Hope this helps and good luck

BAD HABIT: I scramble to get ready, which cuts into my riding.
BREAK IT: Get organized.
Devote part of your closet or dresser to riding gear. No space? Donate to charity anything you haven't worn in a year. Then designate a spot for everything: a shelf for jerseys, a basket for shorts, a rack for shoes. Don't forget sunglasses and chamois cream. Do the same in the kitchen for water bottles and energy food. To keep the system viable, be a little anal: When you get back from a ride, return regular items--shoes, gloves, and so on--to their spots. Throw the laundry in the wash. You'll be set for next time.
BAD HABIT: I don't make time to ride.
BREAK IT: Do small things to put yourself in a better position to ride regularly.
Pick a time to ride and stick to it. If darkness or weather interferes, set up the trainer. And then recruit a friend. Numerous studies demonstrate that it's harder to bail on a workout if someone's counting on you to show. But also, be open to spontaneity. If you get a spare half an hour, get on your bike; that's 30 minutes you weren't riding before. Finally, make sure you have a goal you're working toward. A coach can help by offering specific workouts that fit your time window. As you improve, a positive-feedback motivation loop kicks in and you'll want to ride more.
BAD HABIT: I avoid intimidating group rides.
BREAK IT: Find easy, nonthreatening ways to build pack skills.
Here are a few: Work with a buddy on trading pulls, riding closely side by side, and other basics. Not enough structure? Take a class. Many of the nation's 24 velodromes offer beginner sessions. The tips you'll learn translate to the road. Go to BICYCLING.com/velodromes for a list of tracks. Similarly, mountain biking and cyclocross improve balance and bike-handling techniques that will leave you more confident in a pack. Finally, find a shop ride with a no-drop policy.
BAD HABIT: I slack off on maintenance, and my bike keeps breaking.
BREAK IT: Learn to care for your bike.
"It's not you, it's me." You know that classic breakup line? This really is you, and it's time to mend your ways. Many shops teach maintenance classes, and step-by-step books like BICYCLING's just-revised Complete Guide to Bicycle Maintenance and Repair offer clear, illustrated instructions. Start with our cheat sheet at right.
BAD HABIT: I binge after rides.
BREAK IT: Make a plan.
Here's the problem: You not only overeat, you also sabotage your recover y by making lousy choices for that all-important refueling window. "A key to a successful diet," says Heather Mangieri, MS, RD, of the American Dietetic Association, "is thinking, Where is my next meal coming from? Maybe Sunday becomes a cooking day, and you spend a few hours making meals for the week and prepackaging them." Then if you roll home hungry, there's something healthy, and the right size, waiting.
Action Plan
A (Very) Basic Bike Upkeep Guide
Flats: After a ride, spin your tires and brush your glove over their surfaces to dislodge debris. Then rotate the wheel slowly to look for cuts or wear. A drop of a sealant such as Stan's can close punctures up to 1mm in size. (Clear out debris first.) Top off your air pressure before every ride, if necessary. If your bike sits on a concrete garage floor, put cardboard underneath to prevent dry rot in the casings.
Chains: After a wet ride, wipe the chain, lube it, and wipe again. In dry conditions, do this every few weeks: Put a drop of all-purpose lube on each link connector, backpedal for a minute, then wipe off the excess. A $10 chain checker tells you when you need a replacement.
Miscellaneous: Every few weeks, make sure brake and derailleur cables aren't frayed and housings aren't cracking. Wear indicators on your brake pads tell you when to change them; see page 26 to learn how. Spin your wheels and watch the pads for random rubbing. Wheel out of true? Take it to a shop.

HURT is a rock band formed in 2000 in Virginia, now located in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. Currently signed to Carved Records, the band has released four major label albums. The group consists of lead singer J. Loren Wince, guitarist Michael Roberts, and drummer Victor Ribas.
The band first released the independent albums Hurt in 2000 and The Consumation in 2003. Many of the songs from these albums found their way onto their first two major label releases, and The Consumation was re-mastered as The Re-Consumation in 2008. The band received critical (though not commercial) success with their major label debut album, Vol. 1, released on March 21, 2006. Their singles "Rapture" and "Falls Apart" gained minor radio airplay on rock stations throughout United States. Their second album was the critically acclaimed Vol. II, released on September 25, 2007, and they gained their largest radio rock hit yet with the single "Ten Ton Brick."

J. Loren[edit]
Lead singer J. Loren Wince was born in Baltimore, Maryland on August 25, 1981. Soon moving to Virginia, he lived in the remote regions of Halifax, Virginia and later relocated to Culpeper, enrolling at Germanna Community College at the age of 14. J. Loren briefly attempted his luck at comedy, but fell short after insulting small crowds with his humor. One person, advised him to pursue a career in law, but Loren decided to fall back on his roots as a musician. His parents exposed him to gospel and classical music, and rock and roll was banned from the household. Wince studied to be a classical violinist and began playing at an early age. Wince cites Antonio Vivaldi as his idol and greatest influence, but also cites Schubert, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Bach, Verdi, Handel, both Joseph and John Haydn, Grieg, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, Ravel and others as influences in his music. Rock music was "the only feasible method of getting honest compositions to the public without being an "'A' list writer" according to J. Loren[1]
His first composition was a march written, at the age of 10, for brass and strings, inspired by the poem "Charge Of the Light Brigade." He then wrote the song "Cold Inside" at the age of 13. His first large public show was at age 12 as a violinist accompanying a contemporary band.[1]
Michael Roberts[edit]
On November 10, 2009 a message on the band's Twitter was given by the band which gave the impression that a new member would join the band and it would be Michael Roberts. The following day a comment by Tom Lewis, the band's manager, was written on the band's official forum, that said: "Fear not! The entire band is in St Louis (J. Loren, Paul, Rek, Louis and Michael) ..." Roberts was the former guitar player of the band Leo, and he was the co- producer of the band's album "Goodbye To The Machine". He has performed several times with the band playing rhythm guitar, during different tours. He is currently the sole guitarist for the band
Victor Ribas[edit]
Victor Manuel Ribas, drummer for the band HURT, grew up in Seattle, WA. His first musical encounter was at the age of 5, beginning private piano lessons with local instructors. He continued to study piano until picking up his first set of drum sticks at the age of 13 and continued performing both Jazz and Marching music all the way through college. Ribas cites Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Danny Carey (Tool), Jon Theodore (The Mars Volta), Matt McDunough (Mudvayne), and Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) as some of his biggest musical inspirations.
Living in Seattle, Victor played in numerous bands while working in various local studios in the Washington and Oregon area. In 2010, he heard that the band Hurt was auditioning drummers. Ribas contacted the band and was flown from Seattle, WA for an audition. Soon after he was announced as HURTs new drummer. The band is currently completing their 6th album, "The Crux" expected to be released in March 2012. Victor will be performing all drum and percussion arrangements for the upcoming album.
The band originally composed of J. Loren, age 15, and Wil Quaintance. They sought players for years until picking up Steven Fletcher to play the bass. The band was named upon conception of the "Self-Titled" CD when J. Loren was approximately 17. There have been 9 bassists, 5 of which were permanent members. There have been 2 lead guitarists and 4 drummers including the current Victor Ribas. Bassist Joshua David Ansley, better known as Josh Ansley, left the band in April 2008 for personal reasons, and was replaced by Rek Mohr (former bassist for the band Leo) in May 2008.
This band's self-titled first studio album was written and performed by J. Loren and Wil Quaintance on drums, with programming credits given to Brian Winshell on the entire album, except "Confession" by Jonathan Minis. It was made in 2000 and approximately 1,200 copies of it were issued to the public. The songs Unkind, U-Bleed, Better, Summers Lost and Abuse of SID have appeared on other albums. At this time, there are no details as to whether any of the other tracks will be released in the future. There are also no intentions of re-releasing this album, such as what was done with "The Consumation/Re-Consumation." As J. Loren states, "It was poorly done and actually diminishes from the intentions behind the songs."[1]
The Consumation[edit]
"The Consumation" album was written and performed by J. Loren Wince, with Wil Quaintance on drums, Shawn Sawyer on bass and given credits on the song "Unclean," with Brian Winshell on Engineering for "House of Cards" and "Velvet Rolls Royce." This album was released in 2003 in J. Loren's home state of Virginia, with approximately 2000 sold, and around 3000 promos and full albums distributed for free. There is a noted mistake on the back of the original album sleeve, where it is missing the song "Cold Inside." This was not intentional. Due to a lack of sleep over the course of a 6-month period, the track listing was the last thing to be done on the album and was simply overlooked.[1]
Later, a fan asked if he could print additional copies of "The Consumation" for sale in his stores in order to help promote the band. J. Loren agreed to this. The second edition printing differed from the original version with a simplified color scheme and amateur mastering done at the duplication plants studio. It was not a concern to the band that he was making money off their album, considering he took a risk himself on printing albums for their up and coming band, until later when these copies started turning up on eBay. The band found out that their fans were bidding an average of $170 for each copy as they were auctioned off one at a time.[1] This was one of the reasons Loren decided to re-release the album, as The Re-Consumation.
A passage of poetry was removed from a song which was then entitled "Way It Was." The song was renamed "Somnabulist" by Wil Quaintance until the album could be finished and the poem, entitled "The Consumation Premise," could be appropriately re-inserted. For The Re-Consumation, the song was called "The Way It Was".[1]
The band (with the original line-up) was discovered by Tom Lewis, an ex-Universal Records A&R man, somewhere around 2005. The show was at The Continental in New York, where a friend of Lewis, Jay Silverman, passed the band's CD on to him.[1] After the initial contact with lead singer J. Loren, it was another 8 months until they heard from Lewis again. The band met up with Lewis and his company (Metropolitan Hybrid).[2] The band went to record its demo to help find a record label. After undisclosed issues with the current drummer for the band, session drummer Evan Johns was asked if he could be a part of the recording, which Loren agreed to.[3]
In the process of trying to find a major label, the bass player at the time decided it would be best if he quit the band, at which time they began to seek out his replacement, former Streetlight Manifesto bassist Josh Ansley.[3] Lewis helped HURT to get signed to Capitol Records.
When asked about how he became part of the band, Paul Spatola has been quoted in saying that he received a phone call from Josh Ansley, saying he should fly to New York and try out for the band, as they were looking for guitarists. Spatola states, "A month later I didn't hear anything and I said 'I just gotta fly out there.'" His first performance with the band was at a night club called 'The Mint,' at which time, Spatola intended on being with the band for a few days but ended up staying for two weeks. The first day he tried out for the band, and with a little help from Tom Lewis, J. Loren was convinced to bring Paul into the band as the guitarist.[2]
The next day, the band played a showcase in New York, at which time they had spoken with several record companies including Columbia, Interscope, Island, Universal, Virgin and Atlantic, but nothing came of these conversations.[2]
Initially, Capitol Records had purchased the album, Vol. 1, from the band at cost which was approximately 100k. No other apparent changes other than signing the recordings rights to them took place.[1]
Vol. 1 and Vol. II[edit]
Both Vol. 1 and Vol. II were recorded and produced together by Eric Greedy, and the plan initially was to have them come out immediately, but at the time they had just been signed to Capitol and that was too much of an investment for a major label to put out a dual-CD and the touring to support it. Instead, they took the time to re-record Vol. II and improved upon it.[4]
Vol. 1 was released on March 21, 2006, and can be found on Capitol Records. The album was Produced by Eric Greedy, with Executive Producer Jane Lewis. Lyrics by J. Loren Wince. Musical performances by J. Loren Wince (vocals, guitar, violin), Evan Johns (drums, piano), Josh Ansley (bass, backing vocals) and Paul Spatola (guitar, backing vocals). This album has produced three singles including "Rapture," "Falls Apart" and "Danse Russe."
Vol. II was released on September 25, 2007, and can be found on Capitol Records. The album was Produced by Eric Greedy with J. Loren Wince (vocals, guitar, violin, banjo), Evan Johns (drums), Josh Ansley (bass) and Paul Spatola (guitar, dobro, piano). The album has seen two singles, "Ten Ton Brick" and "Loded," the latter a popular selection from a poll taken on the band's forums.
On May 12, 2009, Hurt received an award for the song "Ten Ton Brick" during SESAC's 13th annual New York Music Awards.[5]
The Re-Consumation[edit]
The Re-Consumation album was released on February 19, 2008, as a means to complete the foretold story contained within "The Consumation" and to prevent fans from having to spend upwards of $100 online in order to obtain the album. This album was edited by J. Loren Wince, adding three files as a new recordings, while the other two edits had been recorded at the time of conception and intentionally withheld for the specific purpose of its re-release. The song "Somnabulist" was renamed to "The Way It Was" simply because it was always to be named that since it was written. States J. Loren, "The song is a vignette into a moment from the past which could not be completed in the present. This is why Mr. Quaintance chose its temporary name for me. This is the only song in my repertoire which I did not name."[1]
On April 3, 2008, Hurt bassist Joshua Ansley announced via the band's forums & Myspace that he would be leaving the band to pursue his dreams in the field of Acting/Writing/Directing.
Goodbye to the Machine[edit]
In interviews given in promotion for the new album, "Goodbye to the Machine" Wince expressed his disgust in the overall handling of the band by their label. From the mislabeling of the band as "metal" to Capitol's refusal to reprint the albums despite having sold 58,000 out of 60,000,[citation needed] the quartet decided to move in a new direction. Combined, both albums have sold almost 250,000 copies
It was announced on the band's official message boards that a new album entitled Goodbye To The Machine would be released in 2009 through the Amusement record label. On January 14 it was announced that the album's release date would be on April 7, 2009.[6] On Christmas Day a preview of the track 'Wars' was posted on the band's MySpace for several hours. Similarly the track 'Fighting Tao' was posted on New Year's Eve.
On January 5, 2009 Rock station WFXH in Savannah, GA/Hilton Head, SC World Premiered the single 'Wars' on their afternoon drive-time program with Boomer (a long time friend and supporter of the band). The single was released to stations nation-wide on January 12, 2009. On February 3, 2009, 'Wars' was made available for purchase through iTunes and Amazon. 'World Ain't Right' featuring Shaun Morgan of Seether, 'Wars', and 'Dreams Away' were released to be heard on the band's MySpace.
The album has peaked so far at No.100 on the Billboard 200.
On August 6, 2010, Louie Sciancalepore announced via his Facebook page and the band's message board that he was no longer part of Hurt "due to irreconcilable differences with management."
The Crux[edit]
According to Hurt's Twitter page in early 2010, the band was actively working on new material, presumably for their upcoming sixth studio album. On February 5 the new tune "Numbers" made its debut radio play on 94.1 WJJO in Madison, WI. It was released on iTunes on March 9, 2010. The artwork design for the single was designed by HURT guitarist Paul Spatola.[7] On March 21, 2011, a post on the band's official Facebook page stated "ALL TRACKING HAS BEEN COMPLETED".[8] On August 28, 2011 J Loren posted a letter on Facebook indicating the band had signed with Carved Records to release their yet to be titled 6th album in early 2012, and also announced that lead guitarist Paul Spatola had departed the band due to personal issues. On September 27, 2011, on Hurt's Facebook page, the band said that the new album would be a return to both the "Volume" albums, in sound and style. The first single, "How We End Up Alone", was released through iTunes on January 3 2012 and The Crux was released on 1 May 2012.
On the 8th of April 2014 Amusement Management announced their intentions to release a remastered version of the often spoke of "Self Tilted"album, stating "It will be remastered and come with a handwritten replication of the lyrics by J. It will most likely not be available digitally". The announcement was made on the bands official Facebook page. [9]
The album was released in a very limited quantity of only 2000, each individual numbered and signed by J Loren Wince. The album included 2 bonus tracks, 1, previously unreleased, "Cellophane", and another, the original version of "Talking to God".
Musical style and influences[edit]
Brett Hickman of Static Multimedia states that "There's a feeling that anything can happen in Hurt's music, that this is a band intent on turning people's expectations on their collective ear and making them do what they command. J. Loren and company are making strides towards something truly special in the future. The mere fact that they elevate the rather tired and cliched hard rock genre as much as they do here would indicate that great things are in store for the band as well as for their fans."[10]

South Africa's lowveld, wedged between the Mpumalanga section of the Drakensberg and Mozambique, is part of a vast subtropical region of savanna that stretches north through Zimbabwe and Zambia as far as Central Africa. Closely associated at the turn of the last century with fortune-seekers, hunters, gold-diggers and adventurers, these days the South African lowveld's claim to fame is its proximity to the Kruger National Park and the adjacent private game reserves. Although several of the towns on the game park fringes are pleasant enough, most people come here to get into big-game country.
Largest of the lowveld towns, and the capital of Mpumalanga, is Nelspruit, accessible by air and bus (including buses from Maputo in Mozambique). East of Nelspruit, the N4 runs close to the southern border of the Kruger, providing easy access to its Malelane and Crocodile Bridge gates; the latter is just 12km north of Komatipoort, a humid frontier town on the border with Mozambique. From Nelspruit, you can also head 32km south to Barberton, an attractive settlement in the hills with strong mining connections, or continue another 41km to Swaziland.
The R40 north of the provincial capital passes through White River, Hazyview, Klaserie, Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa, a series of small towns that act as bases for exploring Kruger. Each town is well supplied with accommodation, and has a Kruger entrance gate nearby; tours are available from some. The closest to Nelspruit and an entry point into the Park, Hazyview is now leader of the pack. Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa actually fall within Limpopo Province, but for the sake of continuity have been included in this chapter.Read More
BARBERTON, 36km south of Nelspruit, began its urban existence after gold was discovered in 1883. An influx of shopkeepers, hoteliers, barmen, prostitutes, even ministers of religion, soon joined the diggers in the growing frontier town, which consisted of tents, tin, thatch and mud, with nearly every second building functioning as a boozing joint. During the fabulous boom of the 1880s the mines slipped out of the grasp of the small-time prospectors and came under the control of the large corporations that still own them today. There are seven working mines around Barberton, each with its own entertainment venue for miners only, which means you won't find miners packing out public bars as in the wild days of old.
This is the best place in the country to take an underground gold-mining tour, in a working mine, or learn to do gold panning. This attraction aside, Barberton also has a colonial backwater charm, reasonably priced accommodation, a handful of historical sights, tropical vegetation and an attractive setting in a basin surrounded by mountains.

Curtiss-Reid RAMBLER
The Canadian-originated Reid Aircraft Company had been acquired by the Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Company of the USA in 1928 and the company was re-named to the Curtiss-Reid Aircraft Company. The Curtiss-Reid Rambler was a Canadian-designed and built trainer. It was intended to fill the needs of flying clubs springing up across Canada and it possessed several innovative features. It was a sesquiplane with folding wings to facilitate storage and it incorporated Warren truss bracing that eliminated the need for bracing wires. The interplane struts were streamline tubing.
The RCAF evaluated the aircraft type and despite already having a plethora of other trainers, it elected to purchase a small number of the aircraft. Still, the Ramblers enjoyed a relatively productive and lengthy career lasting well into the Second World War.

Reviews for Northwoods Beef Stew
Sort By :
This was an absolutely delicious recipe and very full of flavor! I followed the recipe adding 6 cloves minced garlic, a couple more carrots, a can of chopped stewed tomatoes (drained) , a bay leaf, dash Tabasco and I only used 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning because 1 tablespoon sounded like a lot, but the 2 teaspoons worked great, not overpowering in the least. There was nothing "odd" about this recipe at all. I also added in some fresh minced parsley with the mushrooms and served over hot buttered egg noodles. It was just thick enough , perfect! My family gobbled it up ! Very easy too! I love these kind of recipes and will be making this a lot more, thank you! :)
The weather is terrible outsaide and due to my husband job demands, I was looking for something that would warm him and simple enough for me to make. I was not disappointed with this recipe. It was easy to make and made the house smell great while it was cooking. Thanks for the recipe.
My family liked this very much. A little different than beef stew, it didn't last long.
Made it couple months ago. I left out the mushrooms because I'm not to fond of them. The Beef Stew was still very good to eat. The stew did not last very long in my house. It went very fast. Yes, will make it again.
Outrageously easy to prep, and equally as delicious. This was a major hit in our home; had some leftovers, and that went quickly. Tweaked it slightly for personal taste; added two tbl white vinegar to balance out the sweet/salty flavors, substituted crushed/dried marjoram for the Italian seasoning, and added two parsnips cut into 1-inch pieces (just a personal favorite). I also went a little more heavy-handed on the beef bouillon and added a little more salt directly to the cooking sauce (between the carrots, parsnips, tomato soup base, and brown sugar there?s enough sweetness in the recipe, and it can use a little more saltiness). Between the seasoned flour coating on the beef cubes, and the tapioca granules, they both provided just the perfect thickening consistency; Amazing!! (I loved not having to thicken anything at the very end; just add the sliced mushrooms 1 hr before serving, give it a stir, and it?s all ready for you to enjoy!!). This was a total winner and will definitely be a repeat over the winter months, I can guarantee that. Thank you Janice!!!!

Fiduciary Licence Agreement (FLA)
What is the FLA?
The Fiduciary Licence Agreement (FLA) is a copyright assignment that allows one entity to safeguard all of the code created for a project by consolidating copyright (or exclusive exploitation rights) to counteract copyright fragmentation.
This enables projects to protect their legal maintainability by preserving the ability to relicense code and ensuring sufficient rights to enforce licences in court. The person assigning does not lose their rights to the code either, as the FLA gives back unlimited usage/single exploitation rights to the author. The FLA also applies a set of principles for the fiduciary. If they breach these principles, all grants and licenses made to them automatically expire.
Benefeciaries of the FLA assign the copyright in their work, and in countries where assignments of the copyright in a work are impossible, they grant the fiduciary an exclusive license (see §1(1) for details). Therefore, the FLA is designed to work in both civil and common law countries.
The FLA is used for FSFE's Fiduciary Programme. It can also be adapted to assign the rights to any other third party.

The FLA was written by Dr. Axel Metzger (ifross) and Georg Greve (FSFE) in consultation with renowned international legal and technical experts. Parties ivolved in the evolution of the FLA included RA Dr. Till Jaeger, Carsten Schulz, Prof. Eben Moglen, RA Thorsten Feldmann (LL.M.), Werner Koch, Alessandro Rubini, Reinhard Muller and others. The latest revision was compiled by Georg Greve and FSFE's FTF coordinator Shane M Coughlan based on feedback provided by Dr. Lucie Guibault of the Institute for Information Law in the Netherlands.
