All Rise...
Judge Erich Asperschlager's shoes are untied, by British standards.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Community: The Complete First Season (published September 20th, 2010), Community: The Complete Second Season (published September 6th, 2011), Community: The Complete Third Season (published August 14th, 2012), and Community: The Complete Fourth Season (published August 6th, 2013) are also available.
The Charge
"Oh look! It's Jeff Winger, fun police, here to pull over our smiles 'cause our mouths have tinted windows."
Opening Statement
Sometimes I envy people who will discover Community years from now, after the series is done and available in its entirety on whichever online service wins the Great Streaming War of 2025. Those viewers will be able binge-watch all six seasons and the movie in a week, never knowing the pain and occasional elation of being a Community fan in real time.
The stress of loving a show on the perpetual bubble culminated at the end of Season Three with the firing of series creator Dan Harmon. Fans went through the five stages of grief during the so-so Season Four, accepting the series' demise just in time for the astounding news that the ousted Harmon would be back for Season Five. The roller coaster didn't end there. Great as the new episodes were, the excitement was dampened by Donald Glover leaving mid-way through a short season that ended with NBC canceling Community once and for all. Sadness gave way to joy with rumblings that the show would go to Hulu, followed quickly by sadness when those talks fell apart. As of now, the fanbase is at DEFCON "cautiously optimistic" thanks to the announcement that Yahoo! has picked up the show for a fabled sixth season. What will it be? Will it even happen? Time will tell. How better to pass the time while we wait for the other shoe to drop than with the totally real and in canon Community: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set.
Facts of the Case
Season Five offers up 13 episodes over two discs.
Disc One
Disc Two
The Evidence
Community's fifth season might not be the best the show has ever been, but these baker's dozen episodes are proof positive that Harmon's neurotic genius is key to its success. Season Four ended with the study group graduating and moving on. Season Five finds a reason to bring them back in a post-graduate capacity, with Jeff as a teacher and everyone working to fix the school as the "Save Greendale Committee." The loose structure leaves plenty of room for the series staple genre-bending episodes, including "Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons"; this year's paintball equivalent "Geothermal Escapism"; the David Fincher pastiche "Basic Intergluteal Numismatics"; and a dead-on parody of '80s kids? cartoons in "G.I. Jeff."
The set-up also makes room for a newcomer to fill the grouchy middle-aged hole left by the departure of Chevy Chase's Pierce. After being one of the best things about Breaking Bad, Jonathan Banks is one of the best things about Community Season Five, as Criminology professor / frustrated cartoonist Buzz Hickey. It's not entirely clear why a hard-nosed former cop would join forces with the study group, but he creates just enough friction to generate laughs. It's almost enough to distract from the loss this season of two original cast members.
Chevy Chase left the series midway through Season Four, but his absence is made more permanent this season with Pierce Hawthorne's death. After throwing the group into turmoil one last time with a post-funeral polygraph test—administered by guest star Walt Goggins—Pierce paves the way for Donald Glover's departure by offering Troy the chance to become his own man by sailing around the world. The loss of Glover is a tough pill to swallow. His Troy and Danny Pudi's Abed were responsible for many of the series' best moments. We got a taste of them growing apart in Season Four when Troy dated Britta for some reason, but now it's really over. To the writers' credit, the show handles Glover leaving pretty well. "Geothermal Escapism" is a classic episode not only because it apes post-apocalyptic movies like Waterworld and The Road Warrior, but for the way it frames the campus-wide "hot lava" contest through Abed coming to terms with losing his best friend.
Some of the other genre episodes are more frivolous, but no less fun. "G.I. Jeff" perfectly emulates the cheaply animated G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoons and toy commercials, turning Jeff, Britta, Annie, Shirley, and Abed into G.I. Joe characters codenamed Wingman, Buzzkill, Tight Ship, Three Kids, and Fourth Wall. They are joined by actual characters from the '80s series, with some original voice actors reprising their roles. It's wild to see the Greendale crew going toe-to-toe (or should that be joe-to-joe?) with Duke, Destro, and Cobra Commander. It doesn't matter that the real-world explanation for the animated delusion is kind of thin. "App Development and Condiments" conceptualizes Jeff and Shirley's rivalry as a Logan's Run dystopia that envelops the campus during beta testing for an app that allows students to rate each other. Don't ask who paid for everyone's fake futuristic uniforms or Britta's revolutionary posters. Just revel in the thrilling cinematic storytelling, the incisive social commentary, and the guest appearance by Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz as party dude extraordinaire "Koogler."
The rest of the fifth season episodes focus on Greendale 2.0, as Jeff learns what it means to be a teacher and the group works tirelessly to make the school a better place—a job they end up doing a little too well. "Introduction to Teaching" is notable for Banks' debut, and for Abed's mental breakdown during a blow-off class that asks the question, Nicolas Cage: Good or Bad? "Analysis of Cork-Based Networking" sends Hickey and Annie down a bureaucratic labyrinth to get a bulletin board replaced, encountering guest stars Nathan Fillion, Kumail Najiani, Paget Brewster, and Robert Patrick along the way. The season-long arc to "save Greendale" comes to a head in a two-part finale complete with villainous administrators, hidden treasure, and Chris Elliott as the school's eccentric founder. Community isn't the first show to benefit from Subway product placement, but it might be the most brilliant at walking the line between shilling for sandwiches and mocking corporate culture.
I don't agree with fans who complained about the finale, but I can sympathize. On the one hand, a Dan Harmon-led Season Five is a gift and we should not complain. On the other, 13 episodes just isn't enough to contain and explore all of the characters and plotlines that are introduced. The genre entries are great, and are informed by character in ways they weren't in Season Four, but it's too bad getting an awesome animated episode means we don't see enough of Jeff coming to terms with teaching. At times, Season Five feels like a greatest hits collection of characters and parody styles. The overall effect isn't as cohesive as Harmon might have wanted (based on what he says in the commentaries), but every episode is better than anything else on network TV last season. Also, I like greatest hits collections.
Community isn't just the funniest show on TV, it's one of the best-looking. The 1.78:1 image in this DVD set does what it needs to showcase all the visual styles and sight gags, even if it's not in HD. The same is true of the 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, a mix that balances the rapid-fire jokes with the variety of music and sound effects.
Although Community: The Complete Fifth Season continues the series' streak of stellar bonus features, it feels a little light compared to previous sets. The result, perhaps, of waning support from Sony—who has never seen fit to release the show on Blu-ray—or a lack of space in a two-disc set. I can accept the lack of deleted scenes, but where's the complete "Ass Crack Bandit" song written and recorded by Ben Folds, or standalone footage from the fake VHS party game Pile of Bullets, starring Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan? The show is so packed with stuff, I expect the bonus features to match. Thankfully the extras that made the cut are all great:
• Audio Commentaries on every episode: The best bonus feature on previous sets is once again the reason to buy the set. A rotating ensemble of writers, directors, actors, and Dan Harmon engage in candid (sometimes too candid) conversations about the process of writing, shooting, and generally manhandling Season Five into shape.
• "Advanced Television Production: 5 Days, 2 Scripts, No Sleep" (42:24): This raw behind-the-scenes look at the writing process follows Harmon and his team through a crazy few days, as problems completing the Dungeons & Dragons episode snowball into a rush to write the finale. As with the commentaries, there's no puffery here—just sweat, desperation, and an inspiring dedication to quality.
• "Re-Animating the '80s" (17:36): A thorough look at the writing, design, animation, and toy design behind the brilliant "G.I. Jeff," featuring interviews with Harmon, director Rob Schrab, artists, animators, actors, and original G.I. Joe storyboard artist Larry Houston, who helped them nail the look and feel.
• Outtakes (5:58): Somewhere between a gag reel and collection of alternate takes.
Closing Statement
Whatever you think of Community's fourth season, it was a clear step down from the first three. When it was announced that Dan Harmon was coming back for the fifth season, fans were excited—and for good reason. Season Five is a return to the experimental, character-based comedy that made the show indispensable to the small number of people who don't watch The Big Bang Theory. Sadly, that number didn't grow enough to secure another season on network television, but with a streaming Season Six on the horizon and The Complete Fifth Season available for (repeated) home viewing, Community fans have it pretty darn good.

• Red blood cell macrocytosis is a wellknown complication of azathioprine therapy. In a group of 91 patients receiving azathioprine immunosuppressive therapy for renal graft, the mean corpuscular volume determined by an electronic cell counter was substantially higher than in the normal population. Selective erythroid hypoplasia is another known but much less frequent complication of azathioprine use. The case of a child who had a selective erythroid hypoplasia while receiving azathioprine immunosuppressive therapy for renal graft is reported. The patient recovered as the drug therapy was discontinued. With progressive reintroduction of the drug, a second decrease in the hemoglobin was seen when a dose of 2 mg/kg was reached although with a smaller dose, no recurrence of anemia was observed.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas—Texas A&M batted around in each of the first three innings, scoring a total of 21 runs, as the 16th-ranked Aggies cruised to a 21-4 win over Prairie View A&M in seven innings Wednesday night before 2,897 fans at Olsen Field.
A&M (26-14) fell behind after giving up an unearned run in the first, but responded with six hits and seven runs in the bottom of the frame to quickly take a big lead. The Aggies added five in the second and nine more in the third to earn their fifth straight win. The Panthers fell to 18-20 with the loss.
Big home runs would key the offense in the first two innings, as Kyle Colligan hit a three-run shot in the first and Caleb Shofner followed a Luke Anders solo blast with a three-run shot of his own.
A&M took a 12-1 lead into the third, where Prairie View bounced back with three runs on three hits. However, the first 10 Aggie batters in the bottom half of the inning all reached base safely, with the first nine coming home, as A&M opened up the commanding 17-run advantage. The game remained scoreless the rest of the way and was called after six-and-a-half innings.
Colligan tied a career high with five RBIs on the night, going 2-for-3 with three runs scored. Shofner was a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBIs, Anders went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, and three others—Kevin Gonzalez, David Alleman and Adam Smith—posted two hits apiece.
The Aggies used six pitchers in a predetermined rotation, and sophomore starter Clayton Ehlert (3-0) picked up the victory. He allowed two hits and one unearned run, while fanning two, in two innings of work. The final four relievers—Hank Robertson, Denny Clement, Travis Starling and Shane Minks—allowed a combined two hits over 4 2/3 shutout innings.
Texas A&M returns to action on Friday when the Aggies open a critical Big 12 series against Oklahoma State (27-15, 5-9). A&M sophomore Brooks Raley (7-1, 2.02 ERA) is scheduled to toe the mound against Cowboy junior Tyler Blandford (6-2, 4.55). The game, which kicks off the annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Weekend, is set for 6:35 p.m.
• Wednesday's game marked the first-ever meeting between the schools on the baseball diamond.
• Brodie Greene extended his career-high hit streak to nine games with a first-inning single.
• Kyle Colligan matched a career high with five RBIs on Wednesday (April 6, 2008 vs Kansas State).
• A&M's first-inning error snapped a streak of 263 straight chances without a miscue…the Aggies had gone seven full games without an error and hadn't booted a ball since the eighth inning against Houston on April 9.
• Kyle Colligan and Luke Anders each hit the 35th home run of their careers, placing them in a tie for fifth place—with each other—on the school's all-time chart.
• Brooks Raley saw his streak of reaching base safely (hit or walk) end at 36…Raley, who played just two innings on Wednesday, was 0-for-3, but did reach base on a fielder's choice and score in the first.
• Game-time temperature was a season-high 91 degrees, with clear skies and winds blowing out to center at 12 miles per hour (gusting to 26).
HEAD COACH ROB CHILDRESS: "I thought we played extremely well tonight. We played hard, and got some guys out there on the mound that hadn't been out there in a while, that I thought were really good. Offensively it was impressive to watch. I don't care who's on the mound, what we did at the plate tonight really built on what we've done the last four games."
(on Oklahoma State this weekend) "It's important we play well this weekend. Everyone's playing for something in the Big 12, and this is a huge weekend for us. After this series we only have one home game left in Big 12 play, and we have to take care of business. Oklahoma State's backs are against the wall. They are 5-9 (in the league), probably the best 5-9 team in the country, with three outstanding starters. They have a freshman closer that's outstanding, and they can swing the bats. We are going to have our hands full this weekend."

The End of the World on 10 Tugriks a Day
By Philip Shenon
Published: June 30, 1996
THERE IS HELL HERE IN PARADISE. AND TONY WHEELER -- the multimillionaire co-founder of the Lonely Planet travel empire and trailblazing patron saint of the world's backpackers and adventure travelers -- has journeyed halfway across the South Pacific to ferret it out.
The rail-thin 49-year-old Briton is standing on a lush stretch of the Rue du Pont Neuf in Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia and the largest city on the island of Tahiti. The scene is just as Gauguin left it, the warm, moist sea air perfumed by cascades of hibiscus and jasmine.
But Wheeler's mind is far from the delights of this South Seas Eden. As he shuffles worriedly through a fistful of papers, he seems more a detail-obsessed accountant than a beachcombing tourist; his unbronzed skin is proof that this expedition is anything but a pleasure trip. "This place is apparently a horror story," Wheeler says, nodding to the front gate of the Teamo Hotel, one of dozens of budget hotels, youth hostels, fast-food restaurants and souvenir shops that he will inspect on a single day.
The most recent edition of the Lonely Planet guide to Polynesia recommends the Teamo, albeit unenthusiastically ("seemed O.K. . . . fairly clean"). But according to a sheaf of vitriolic readers' letters under Wheeler's arm, the Teamo has fallen apart since the book was published in 1992. (One reader describes the staff's attitude as "the epitome of anti-tourist.")
Wheeler marches in, girded for battle. "I'm Tony Wheeler from Lonely Planet," he announces. "May I look around?" The 26-year-old manager, Pascal Van der Walle, is startled by the presence of a man whose name makes hostel owners and budget restaurateurs tremble from Polynesia to the Pampas. "Wheeler?" Van der Walle says, his gulp audible across the mildewed lobby. "Lonely Planet? All of our guests carry Lonely Planet. It is their bible."
For tens of millions of globetrotting readers, the Lonely Planet guides are the gospel of adventure travel, the Baedekers of the new age. They are the trusted companions for a generation of independent travelers who find no joy in the well-beaten trail, who disdain the idea of an organized tour, who revel not in luxury but in deprivation.
Lonely Planet Publications is the brainchild of Wheeler and his Belfast-born wife, Maureen. More than 20 years after they huddled over the kitchen table in a dilapidated apartment in Sydney, Australia, and typed up their first travel guide, the Wheelers have turned their wanderlust into a fortune. "No one realized how big the underground travel market was, no one realized how many thousands of people were on the so-called hippie trail," says Maureen, 46, who speaks with the energy of an aerobics instructor, often finishing her husband's sentences, just as he finishes hers.
There are now 216 books in the series, reaching a readership as diverse as the nations they cover. The guides are published in 11 languages, with excerpts available on the Lonely Planet home page of the World Wide Web. This year will very likely be a milestone for Lonely Planet, the first in which it is expected to sell one million books in the United States, the company's largest market and the subject of a new travel series, and the rest of North America. And there are other milestones to come. The Wheelers anticipate that sometime in the next decade, they will become the first publishers to offer detailed travel guides to every nation on earth.
No one claims that the Wheelers have produced great literature, or that they have broken ground in graphic design. Most of their guides are illustrated with simple line drawings or with photographs that look as if they came from a tourist's Instamatic. But no one denies that the Wheelers are pioneers. "The major publishers had no idea of this huge subversive travel market that was spreading out to all these unusual places," Maureen says. "We realized it because we lived it. We traveled it. We sold it."
With fame has come controversy, including debates over whether Lonely Planet has helped prop up tyrannical third-world regimes by encouraging tourism and whether the books have inspired novice travelers to take off for places too dangerous for even the most experienced globe-trotters. The Wheelers do not deny that travelers have been robbed, kidnapped and murdered with a Lonely Planet guide in their knapsacks.
From their headquarters in Australia, the Wheelers oversee a $15 million-a-year publishing empire, the largest independent travel-book company in the English-speaking world and the one that has best capitalized on the fastest-growing segment of the industry.
For generations, travel books were a fringe market, with only a handful available on all but the most commonplace destinations in Europe and the United States. But in the 1960's, the budget-travel market exploded. The first jumbo jets took to the skies, driving down the price of air travel and putting it within the reach of millions.
Industry officials put the market for travel books in the United States at about $200 million a year. Most of Lonely Planet's competitors have been swallowed up by publishing giants. Its biggest rival among budget travelers, the London-based Rough Guides series, has formed a partnership with Penguin, the paperback behemoth, for distribution.

Faculty Focus
Inside CU's faculty profile series
Our faculty are a source of great pride and bring a world of expertise, experimentation and excellence to our students and our community. Meet Meg Campbell, associate professor of marketing, Leeds School of Business.
Meg's research interests include consumer understanding of persuasion, perceptions of unfairness in prices and marketing, branding and advertising effects. She teaches advertising and marketing communications, brand management, consumer behavior and the principles of marketing.
What drew you to your field of expertise, and keeps you passionate about your work?
When I was an undergraduate, I started out "undeclared" and I definitely did not know what I wanted to be when I grew up! I really liked both psychology and economics and ended up double majoring in those two disciplines. Like most students, I didn't even know about consumer psychology. However, I had a really great professor at Stanford named Jim March. At the time, he was a management professor and a scholar at the Hoover Institute and he taught an MBA class at the Graduate School of Business that he let undergraduates take. Professor March regularly invited students to come to his office for wine, cheese and conversation. In talking to him, I learned about business as a possible academic area. This was very exciting because I realized that I could get a PhD in marketing and be able to pursue both of my interests. Consumer psychology is great for me because I am fascinated by how people act as consumers and how they think about the marketplace and marketers.
What do you most enjoy and what is the most challenging aspect of your profession?
I really like both research and teaching. I enjoy working with different types of students in different programs and I always like hearing what past students are doing. However, if I have to choose one thing that I enjoy most, I think that would be figuring out an interesting research question and designing the experiments to test my ideas. I think that for me the most challenging aspect of this profession is rewriting research papers over and over again during the publication process.
What are your favorite interests and activities apart from your work?
Outside of work, my biggest interest is my family. I am very close to my parents and my sister as well as my own nuclear family. I live in North Boulder with my husband and two boys (and dog). I think my boys are tremendously interesting and I get a real kick out of watching them develop. I love cooking and eating, and I also love being active outside (running, hiking, skiing, sailing, etc.). I like to travel; my family and I spent a marvelous seven-month sabbatical in Fontainebleau, France, where I was a visiting scholar at the French business school, INSEAD. C'était fantastique!

Released: Dec 01st, 1995
Running Time: 63
Director: Jim Steel
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Jesse Skyler, Nick Powers, Rod Sloane, Jordan Young, Vic Hall, Matthew Easton, Devyn Foster, Chris Knight
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Subtitled "... As Offering Hope for a Sexual Encounter," the action here offers more than hope. Director Jim Steel should be complimented on his casting. The first romp —"The Interview"— could possibly be the hottest pairing of a blond hunk and a cute Asian ever to be committed to videotape; certainly nomination-worthy. In "The Delivery Boy," Vic Hall turns in one of his hardest gay performances in recent memory.
Scenes called "The Masseur" and "Friends" offer the type of stiff, raw action that many customers are looking for. Chris Knight, who does a dildo solo, is not as hard bodied as Vivid's usual coverhunks, but this blond's baby blues are sure to catch many an eye.

The Otago Regional Council will seek to keep important
freshwater monitoring sites going if Niwa discontinues them.
Niwa had reviewed its monitoring operations and was making
changes to enable its ''expertise and capabilities'' to be
used to the country's ''best advantage'', Niwa general
manager strategy Dr Bryce Cooper said.
Niwa was consulting with the Ministry of Environment and
regional councils to ''ensure consistent and state-of-the-art
freshwater monitoring across New Zealand'' which would mean
fewer sites monitored but to higher standards.
It has 50 hydrometric (river flow/level) stations in Otago
and eight water quality monitoring sites.

Skip to comments.MESSAGE TO PENNSYLVANIA: HELL YEAH!
Posted on 10/21/2008 7:34:16 PM PDT by 1-Eagle
Well I ain't never
Been the barbie doll type
No I can't swig that sweet champagne
I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk
Or on a 4 wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skynard, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me
But I don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip
Cause I'm a redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Welcome to the Red States, Pennsylvania!
Gretchen Wilson: Redneck Woman
Craig Morgan: Redneck Yacht Club
pennsylvania is mccain/palin country !
I've never really cared for Gretchen Wilson. My sis and I think she's too much like your typical bar skank or biker bar chick who gets drunk and wants to beat you up for lookin' at her man, who btw probably has his hair plaited, and you weren't looking at him in the first place.
Simple Man
Gretchens a Good Girl
C'mon PA!!!! Do us proud and join the U.S.A.
That she may be, but... the image? Ugh. Always the woman who's drunk and dancing on the bar.
i THINK SOME MUD WRESTLING IS IN ORDER!!!
GretaVan's question for the night:
The next thing out of Murtha's mouth will be:
1. I'm sorry
2. PA is white trash
Think it needs a good freepin?
anyone supporting the GOP in this election is alright by me!
9 year old fiddler - Mikayla Roach - Orange Blossom Special - Watch this!
It's trashy and low class and ladies don't do it. Only embarrassing chicks who've had too much and knock over people's drinks and have to be coaxed off the bar, do it.
I'm proving that Murtha is definitely wrong. Of course my sis and I always heard, "You're not from around here are you?". Yes, we were. But it was a nice compliment.
WOW... Gretchen nailed Barracuda.. enjoyed that!
High class women apparently drink more than you know.
Darlin you need to loosen up a bit. Go ahead and let your hair down onetime.. ya jus might be surprised
Nothin personal but ya kinda sound like that little blond headed girl on lil house on the prarie..ya know, the shopkeepers daughter.. aint nothin wrong with a little mud
Don't call me darlin'.
And I don't happen to think there's anything wrong with having a little class. You know, we Pennslvanians are capable of having some class. Unless you agree with Murtha?
America...BLEEP, YEAH!
I'm not talking drinking, I'm talking low class, skankiness. I've been to bars with the country bands and the guys in ball caps with flannel shirts and dirty jeans and you don't have to act like a 'red neck woman' just because you're in that atmosphere. I'm from a tiny town. They like playing 'I've got friends in low places' and singing along. But there are levels of behavior. And there are some levels I won't go to. And that was always just fine with the fellas hitting on me and buying me drinks.
I am from PA...and I have class..lots of it.
But I also know how to have a good time.
And I sure am not going to let a Murtha judge me.
Please forgive my way of speaking Madam. No disrespect intended. However it is possible for one to be âclassyâ and still have a little fun on occasion. It matters not if one is from PA or if one is from SC. Male or female. And BTW I wouldn't consider Murtha on par with any Pennsylvanian that I know
See my post #20.
But are you suggesting that fun and being a lady don't go together? ;)
No Mam! My wife is quite the Southern Lady. But is also quite capable of throwin down with the best of em when the situation calls for it. All I said was you seemed a bit uptight..This really going far afield of the OP so I suggest we move onto more important things like gettin McCain/Palin elected so that there will still be fun left to have... Peace to you and your Madam
And to you, Sir.
Ah, see it was the observation of uptightness that was the error. We wouldn't want Murtha to be correct in his generalization which this thread kind of insinuates. No insult meant to the poster.
BTW, most of those so-called 'red neck girls' or 'white trash girls' I've seen either don't vote or wouldn't vote for a Republican. Mostly they just don't vote.
Classy, informed Pennsylvania ladies for McCain/Palin! Sarah's a classy lady herself, but she can still shoot. :)
Where did we go wrong in this discussion? Now we're talking "skanky". Redneck women are not skanky! They have tons of class. They love Jesus, they dance, and they drink a little beer. May Heaven be full of them.
I think we were discussing, or I was, the Gretchen Wilson image up there of the 'red neck woman'. And I've seen these women.
Nothing classier than a clearly pregnant woman doing the b*tt dance with her fiance' in a smoky bar. Yes, I've seen that and the SNL skit with Amy P. was creepily like that experience. Those are the women I'm talking about and I don't want Jack Murtha insinuating that that's all of us.

States move cautiously on immigration after Supreme Court ruling
Published on Tue, Jun 26, 2012
IPC staff lawyer Ben Winograd was quoted in a CBS article about the effect of the Supreme Court case over SB 1070 on other states:
For the states that have the same provisions as Arizona, the Court's decision provides clarity.
"To the extent that they have identical provisions, it's open and shut," staff attorney Ben Winograd with the American Immigration Council said.
Winograd says that the additional court cases will provide much more clarity.
"Based on the Supreme Court decision alone, I would be surprised" if the states move forward with their laws in the short term, Winograd said.

text: 000 FXUS64 KBRO 240929 AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service BROWNSVILLE TX 429 AM CDT SUN JUL 24 2016 .SHORT TERM (Today through Monday): A area of high pressure remain elongated across the CONUS...with its center over the Four-Corner states. This system is generally keeping things quiet for Deep South Texas. Meanwhile...broad surface high pressure over the eastern Gulf will interact with a weak perturbation near the Bay of Campeche to cause a slight tightening if the pressure gradient through the day Sunday allowing for an uptick in the winds. As such do expect to see slight more gusty conditions of light...with winds generally SSE to SE. Given the more southerly component to the winds...do not expect much in the of any seabreeze enhanced convection today and have removed precip for the land areas. By late Sunday night and into Monday...an inverted trough will take hold across the far eastern Gulf waters. The trough will generally track due west...remaining close to the northern Gulf coastline and a weak surface low. Although this feature will bring some moisture back to area...mid level flow around the trough will generally out of the north and east...which may entrain drier air into the region ahead of the system. Hence...the amount of moisture to work with may be limited and have only kept slight POP chances in Monday`s forecast. As far as temperatures go...another warm Sunday is on tap with a good portion of the inland upper valley and ranchlands expected to see triple digit values. Heat indices will climb briefly into the 105 to 110 degree range today. Have opted to hold back temps a degree or two on for Monday`s highs as the inverted trough will bring a bit more cloud cover and possibly a shower. && .Long Term (Monday Night through Saturday): The forecast challenge this go around will be the impact or effect of an inverted mid level trough that will be working its way across the Gulf early in the long term period. The GFS and ECMWF agree that Tuesday will bring the highest rain chances to the area, though those chances will not be tremendous, but the ECMWF is somewhat more robust in its numbers than the GFS. Went with a 60/40 GFS/ECMWF blend for Monday night through Wednesday, which gave a nod to climatologically drier times while bringing some measurable rain across the area. The omega field shows lift over the water Tuesday but less farther west, so not sure how much rain potential will translate over the land areas. Thicker high clouds and the higher rain potential will push the century mark high temperature line west into the upper valley for a day or two, however, before higher temps return later in the week. After Wednesday, the weak inverted trough exits stage left into western Mexico, allowing the Canicular ridge to slowly build back east over into Texas beginning Thursday and continuing through the weekend. A mid level trough rotating south around a northeast Canadian low will dig across the upper midwest late in the week, but the slow eastward transit of that feature will also assist ridge strengthening over the southwest U.S., supporting rain-free, hot, and somewhat breezy days. Breezes may slacken a bit by Saturday while temperatures edge higher, returning to the 96 Brownsville, 99 Harlingen, 102 McAllen theme seen through the second week of July. && .MARINE: Now through Monday...As noted above, a slight tightening in the pressure gradient is expected later today as high pressure over the eastern Gulf interacts will a small tropical wave over the bay of Campeche. The two features will generally bring slightly gustier 15 to 20 knot SE winds during the afternoon for the bay and nearshore coastal waters. However, winds should remain low enough to avoid advisory criteria. The seas will remain low to moderate, with wave heights of 2 to 3 feet. Monday Night through Thursday...While high pressure continues more or less unabated across the Gulf, a mid level trough will be making its way from east to west, located above the central Gulf Monday night. Light to moderate south southeast winds will be the norm through the forecast period with low to moderate seas. Seas will trend just a skosh higher Tuesday through Thursday, by maybe a foot, though still moderate, as high pressure builds into the east Gulf and supports slightly stronger winds. The mid level trough will elevate convective chances over the marine areas through about Wednesday when it exits stage left away from the lower Texas Coast. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Park Ridge to send team, mats to Haiti
Published: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 7:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 7:17 p.m.
Park Ridge Hospital is joining the cause to provide much needed aid to the people of Port-au-Prince and the nation of Haiti, and is asking the community to join them in supporting the relief effort.
With a severe shortage of shelter, thousands of Haitians are left to sleep on the cold concrete of parking lots, roadways and the overcrowded hallways of the few hospitals still standing, as they wait for treatment.
"After speaking with our sister hospital in Port-au-Prince (Hopital Adventiste d'Haiti), it became very clear what we needed to do," said Park Ridge Hospital vice president, Jason Wells. "One of the greatest needs expressed by a representative I contacted today is for any type of sleeping mats – yoga mats, roll-up camping mats or other blow-up air beds - for the thousands of survivors sleeping on the cold, hard ground in whatever space they can find."
Park Ridge Hospital is asking the community to donate 2,000 mats – new or used – to be taken to Haiti with the Park Ridge team of physicians, nurses and other support staff that will be arriving later this month.
Mats can be brought to the front registration desk of Park Ridge, or ordered online and shipped to the hospital – 100 Hospital Dr., Hendersonville, N.C., 28792 – within the next two weeks.
The mats will join a large shipment of medical supplies that will be accompanying the medical team from Park Ridge.
"Many people have wondered what they can do to help in this devastating situation. By partnering with our area businesses to purchase mats, or sending gently used ones from their personal closets, they can help provide support and hope for a large group of survivors," said Wells.
The Hopital Adventiste d'Haiti in Port-au-Prince, a 70-bed facility built in 1978, is one of the few fully-functional hospitals left after the 7.0 earthquake that rocked Haiti on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
In 2003, the hospital joined Adventist Health International, an international organization based at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, Calif.
For more information and updates on the hospital and ongoing relief efforts, visit www.lluhaitiproject.org.

Lillian K. Steponaitis (MCP '14) examined community-based organizations, in which success is based not only on the services they offer, but also their more intangible networks of trust, robust local relationships, and on-the-ground knowledge of community needs. As local organizations grow and seek to replicate themselves, the question of local trust and participation, the very basis of their legitimacy, is sometimes challenged.
In her thesis Fizzah Sajjad (MCP '14) asks how opportunities emerge for states in the Global South to undertake large-scale spending on public transport, particularly in cases where they have previously withdrawn from its provision. In recent years, such opportunities have emerged in the form of mass transit mega-projects, particularly Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) mega-projects.
Laura Andreae Martin (MCP '14) focuses on cooperation projects rooted in cultural ties which are receiving unprecedented attention from the international development community. When and how culture practically matters to development has not been thoroughly explored within urban planning. Her thesis examines whether, when, and how cultural affinities matter for the successful design, management, and implementation of urban planning projects in the global South with international partnerships.
This past spring semester Professor Amy Glasmeier taught her new course Geography of the Global Economy Systems in Transition: Russia, China and the U.S. The course is part of the newly launched Skoltech curriculum which is a collaboration with Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology.
Students in 11.438 Economic Development Planning developed components of Rhode Island's new state economic development plan prepared as part of a HUD Sustainable Communities Plan. The plan includes: (1) recommendations to improve the use of state property tax inceentives; (2) plan to improve and scale entrepreneurial development services for minority, low-income and low-income enterpreneurs; and (3) a state initiative to diversify the state's ship and boat-building industry.
Francisco Humeres (MCP '14) focused on Power Centrality as a method for measuring a particular feedback property: How well connected are places to other well connected places. In this research Power Centrality is used to assess a recent model of Urban Structure; The Splintering Urbanism Theory of Graham and Marvin (2001). This theory posits that the contemporary city is a fragmented agglomeration of isolated urban pieces where distant but valuable fragments are highly connected between them, bypassing their less valuable surroundings.
In her thesis, Amalia R. Holub (MCP '14) explores the feasibility of creating a street-level air quality map, whereby cyclists gather data through a participatory sensing process as they ride around the city. Two primary areas were studied: the state of the technology for portable air quality monitors, and the likelihood of cyclist participation in gathering data. Amalia conducted experiments in Singapore and Mexico City to determine whether a small, relatively inexpensive monitor can gauge variation in concentrations according to distance from traffic and route choice.
Dayna Cunningham, Executive Director of the Community Innovators Lab (CoLab), recently wrote an article for The Architectural League of New York titled, Five Thousand Pound Democracy: Citizenship and Governance for a Five Thousand Pound Life.
Most urban planning literature suggests that compact and mixed-use neighborhoods correlate with lower vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT), and accordingly, lower energy consumption and transportation-related emissions. In her thesis, Veronica Hannan examined the daily travel behavior in Santiago de Chile to understand how demographic structure, neighborhood design, and regional accessibility influence travel behavior as measured through emitted grams of five criteria pollutants (CO2, VOCs, PM10, CO and NO).
Emily Eros (MCP '14) studied the growing ubiquity of affordable mobile phones and internet-capable devices and how some developing cities are collecting and compiling this data. Her thesis uses a 2013 data collection project to explore the potential impacts of transportation information on microbus regulators, owners/operators, and users. Her findings suggest that increased static information may increase government power with respect to microbus operators, particularly during franchising negotiations, but that it may offer limited benefits to users.

Book cheap car hire in the Channel Islands and explore the Bailiwicks at your leisure.
Click Here to get a car hire quote
Lying just off the coast of France, the Channel Islands consist of Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Alderney, and Herm. Perfect for both short and long breaks, escape to this quiet and picturesque part of the British Isles. Get in your car and explore the wonderful coastline and scenery.
If you're visiting the Channel Islands, make sure you benefit from our excellent customer service and wide selection of vehicles. You may not need it on these small islands but we also offer unlimited mileage as standard too. If you need to get hold of us, our head office is open 6 days a week and we also operate a 24/7 emergency phone line. By booking with Economy Car Hire, you really will get the best value car rental.
One of the most famous attractions in the Channel Islands is undoubtedly the Durrell Wildlife Park at Les Augrès Manor. Founded by the late author and naturalist Gerald Durrell, the zoo is home to 1,400 mammals, reptiles, and birds and plays an important role in conservation.
If you want to learn more about Jersey during the war, the Jersey War Tunnels museum tells the story of the German occupation. Alternatively, head to St Helier and make the most of its shops and spas.
Make the most of Guernsey's heritage and explore the numerous fortifications built to repel a French invasion. Clarence Battery, Fort Doyle, and Fort Grey offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. There are also more recent reminders of Guernsey's military past. The Occupation Museum, German Military Underground Museum, and German Naval Signals HQ all bring home how close Hitler came to the UK and the experiences of the islanders under occupation.
If it's stunning scenery you're after, head to Jerbourg for views of the other Islands and the French coast. Alternatively, La Claire Mare on the west coast is home to 2 nature reserves, reed beds, and orchid meadows.
There are a host of activities to try when in the Channel Islands. Head out on the water on a boat trip or on a jet ski. If you'd rather stay by the shore, try coasteering, kite surfing, or kayaking. The islands also offer excellent diving facilities if you want to submerge yourself.
If you'd rather stay on land, why not catch a rugby match? Jersey have a strong team that currently plays in the second tier of English rugby, the Championship. Other activities include abseiling, zip wires, and zorbing.
All you need to know about the Channel Islands can be found in our comprehensive travel guide, though it is wise to top up your knowledge of the rules and regulations of driving on Guernsey and Jersey too. Looking for more inspiration for your trip, read our blogs about the Channel Islands too.

In this project you'll take two simple ideas — a classic "cricket" noisemaker and a solar battery charger — and combine them into something great. Along the way you'll also learn how to use the Arduino microcontroller as efficiently as possible for minimal power consumption.
Solar panels create electricity, of course — we'll take that raw power and add a battery charging circuit to top up a 9V NiMH battery that powers the Arduino. But you can also use solar panels to detect ambient light — so in this project we'll also use them as sensors to trigger the Arduino to perform a task when it detects that night has fallen.
What task? Making cricket noises! Your Solar Cricket will draw its power from the sun during the day and then use it at night to do its stuff. It's fun for your garden, or for pranks — the circuit can be hidden away and used to drive someone crazy looking for the source of the sound!
To complete this project you should be comfortable using a soldering iron, following a simple schematic, and programming an Arduino board.
#define DEBUGLOGGING // Do serial logging if in DEBUG mode - remove this when live to save power. While this line is intact, the Arduino will output debug messages on the serial port. This is useful for testing. Once you're happy that the system is working, you can remove this line and the system will work for real — chirping through the speaker and using the power management code.

#define DEBUGLOGGING // Do serial logging if in DEBUG mode - remove this when live to save power intact while testing and debugging, and remove it when you're ready to set the device live.
DEBUGLOGGING line intact. Hook up the device to your computer and open the serial monitor. Then run the device and cover the solar panels with a sheet of paper to ensure that (a) the light level is being measured and (b) the device switches mode when 5 low light levels have been recorded. Once the device has switched you should remove the cover and make sure it goes back into daytime mode.

The Scitex #1 Choice for 2016 is Zenerx
Zenerx is our top pick this year for male enhancement. We made this decision based on the quality of the ingredients used, the length of the guarantee and the numerous customer testimonials. Not only that, the product is backed by a medical doctor.
Read the full review here or visit their official website Zenerx.com for the best prices available.
Does it Work?
Testoforce is made in the United States by Best Life Herbals, a well established manufacturer of health and wellness products.
Although the website is quite extensive, it actually provides very little valuable product information.
According to the site, Testoforce is capable of a number of health benefits;
– Shed Unwanted Fat and Pack on Mounds of Lean Muscle Mass
– Power-up Your Sex Drive and Maximize Your Erectile Function
– Super Charge Your Immune System and Increase Natural Endurance'
Unfortunately there is no reference to any scientific data from clinical trials or studies whose research would validate any of the product's claims.
Testoforce contains three of the top five ingredients scientifically found to be critical to the effectiveness of male enhancement products;
– Tribulus Terrestris, which increases testosterone levels
– Tongkat Ali/Eurycoma Longifolia, which increases testosterone levels and sexual desire
– L-Arginine, which stimulates nitric oxide that relaxes the blood vessels surrounding the penis, increasing blood flow
The quantities of these substances are rather low however, which will certainly impact on the effectiveness of the product.
It also contains several other substances commonly found in many male enhancement products, such as Ginseng, Zinc, Fenugreek and Ginkgo Biloba, which all claim to have aphrodisiac or stamina inducing properties.
Best Life Herbals offers an impressive one year product guarantee for Testoforce, stating;
'And just remember that you've got absolutely everything to gain and nothing to lose for ordering from Best Life Herbals d/b/a Wellspring – because if you're not 100% completely satisfied with results you receive from our products….if they don't delivery everything that is promised, then simply return the unused portion and empty bottles back to us anytime within one year from date of order and Best Life Herbals, d/b/a Wellspring will give you a complete 100% refund of your purchases price, only. No hassles, no questions asked. Shipping and handling is non-refundable.'
Customer Reviews
There are no customer testimonials promoting the benefits of Testoforce.
Is it a scam?
Testoforce is clearly not a scam and is a male enhancement product we would consider viable and at least moderately effective.
See What Works Better than Testoforce
Best Selling Male Enhancements of 2016
1Zenerx (455mg) - Staff's #1 Pick
Quick Overview
Editor's Score 93 out of 100
We choose Zenerx as our top product for 2016 because of the company's commitment to male health. They use only the best ingredients in their supplement, have a 90 day money back guarantee and triple test their supplement before it's shipped. Oh yeah, it also works amazingly well.
