ART/ARCHITECTURE; The Buckskin Ceiling And Its Discontents
By KEN SHULMAN
Published: December 24, 2000
THE buckskin ceiling is what some American Indian artists call the invisible barrier that keeps them from rising to the top of their field. Not everyone agrees on its definition, or its origins. Some people even deny that such a barrier exists. But those Indian artists who claim to have bumped their heads against it blame the buckskin ceiling for keeping them out of major museum and gallery shows, and out of positions of power in the art establishment. For them, the buckskin ceiling is an art-world bias that makes space for traditional beadwork, buckskins and trading-post blankets, and ignores almost everything else.
''The buckskin ceiling is that beyond which native people cannot rise in the art world,'' Suzan Shown Harjo said. Ms. Harjo, a Cheyenne and Muscogee Indian, is president of the Morning Star Institute, an American Indian legislative group based in Washington. She spoke at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York during a recent Atlatl Native Arts Network conference. Atlatl, which takes its name from the Aztec word for a wooden device used to catapult spears in battle, is a national service organization for Indian artists. The Atlatl conference ran parallel to ''Who Stole the Tee Pee?,'' an exhibition at the museum through Jan. 21.
''A lot of museum directors and gallery owners are still stuck in trite images of the past, of Indian fatigue or ennui,'' Ms. Harjo said. ''There is very little room for contemporary images, little room for anything except those stereotypes that are laid on us by people who are not part of our communities.''
Many American Indians say that a recent history of genocide, resettlement and forced assimilation has left them with a fragmented sense of themselves as a people. Severed from their culture, Indian artists and curators are often divided over what real Indian art was and is. Today, some of the most persistent images in Indian art are not Indian at all.
''The imagery created in white American art, literature and early film has probably had its most profound impact on our Indian sense of self,'' said Richard Hill, an artist, educator and activist and a member of the Tuscarora tribe who is one of the curators of ''Who Stole the Tee Pee?''
''Some of our own people began to adopt these cliches and stereotypes,'' Mr. Hill said. ''They get an old picture from 1830 or 1850 and think it's real Indian stuff. This image of the poor Indian on the back of the horse, they both look like they're about to take their last step. Today that image is probably the most popular image in Indian country. You can find it in all the reservations, in beadwork, paintings, quillwork. We took that white man's image, and somehow we adopted it. Partly because we know the consumer will buy it. But partly because a lot of Indians thought the image was true. 'Look what happened to us,' they thought. 'We are at the end of our trail.' ''
Mr. Hill said Indian arts were hampered by a penchant for stereotype, a reflexive tendency to codify both traditional and contemporary forms of expression. Part of this, he said, is a response to the Indian art market, a multimillion-dollar global industry that he says is controlled primarily by non-Indians.
But part of this habit of cliche also comes from within the Indian community. ''There is, for example, a Southwest contemporary style or school,'' Mr Hill said. ''It began with the introduction of Abstract Expressionism as a legitimate art form for Indians. But it also led to the development of a certain color palette, a certain mode of expression that quickly became standardized. Now many Indian artists believe that this is the authentic Indian art, and the only authentic Indian art. They want to do that, and nothing else. Once again we end up replicating our own past.''
Nancy Marie Mithlo, an anthropologist and director of the Native American Arts Alliance in Santa Fe, N.M., disagrees. ''If you look at native tribes today,'' she said, ''there is an office for children's services, an office for senior nutrition, an office for housing, education, for land issues. We don't have an office for stereotypes. It's not on the landscape. Of course stereotypes affect us. But native people have ways to deal with that, to take control of our own destiny. If we are still complaining about stereotypes, that means we are a disempowered people. And I just don't buy that.''
Like many ethnic or minority artists, American Indian artists must negotiate between their own culture and that of the mainstream art world. And it is in that transaction where many Indian artists get stuck. American Indians are usually socialized to think of themselves mainly as members of clans and tribes. Individual affirmation is discouraged. In the contemporary art world, sublimation of ego is not an attribute usually associated with success.
''I recently participated in a symposium on art and community at New York University, where I was the only Native American,'' said Bob Haozous, an American Indian artist who lives in Santa Fe. Mr. Haozous is best known for politically provocative in situ sculptures, most recently a 16-foot-high steel gate in Santa Fe. The gate is marked with dollar signs, Christian imagery, model airplanes and bullet holes. Razor wire is strung along the top. On the bottom, Mr. Haozous has painted the names of 458 extinct North American Indian tribes.
''All of the other artists claimed that their community was the art community,'' he said. ''I was the only one who said my community is an actual people.''

In 1999, an international protest erupted in response to an Italian Supreme Court decision in which a rape conviction was overturned because the victim was wearing tight jeans. Though the case occurred years ago, this horrific crime and rationale is all too common today. For this reason, the Georgetown Law community commemorates today as its 9th annual Denim Day to raise awareness about rape culture and victim-blaming that can occur when survivors speak up. Today, we remember those affected by sexual assault.

Historical Traveler Reviews Comfort Inn Clifton Hill - Niagara Falls Hotel
Excellent Hotel Near the Falls and Casino!
My family came to Niagara Falls for a weekend trip late November. We were very pleased to find our hotel to be spacious and service to be quite good. Our room was comfortable and clean.
Suprisingly the prices were very reasonable for a hotel located so close to everything in the Falls; Our kids, who were under 18, stayed free!
There was some pretty good family restaurants on site (Boston Pizza & Kelseys) although there was many others nearby on Clifton Hill (Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood, etc.)
Many different attractions are walking distance to the hotel like the Maid of the Mist boat ride, Casino Niagara, Clifton Hill and many more.
Unfortunately the Maid of the Mist was not running while we were there.
Overall I would recommend this hotel for its reasonable price and awesome location.
We stayed here in August 2003 for 2 nights. First night the room was dirty and had little bugs flying around. The table had something sticky all over it and the carpet had food on it. They moved us to another room the second night and it much larger and very clean. This is a good location for kids.
Pleasantly surprised with Comfort Inn Clifton Hill
I was pleasantly surprised with the Comfort Inn @Clifton Hill. First of all, the location was excellent. We were in the heart of Niagara Falls and within walking distance of The Falls, the Casino and restaurants. The staff were attentive and polite. My room had two double beds which were confortable and felt like queen size beds. The room and bathroom area were clean and faced the Quality Inn Clifton Hill near the parking lot. I was surprised at how quiet it was. F.Y.I. all rooms do not have an iron, so bring your own. My brother and his family stayed in one of the family rooms. Two double beds were in a semi-private room with a television and the bathroom. The other was a king size bed with a large closet and television. The continental breakfast was the best I ever had. The choices were great especially for families. The pool area was larger than I expected. I plan on returning next August! P.S. there is free parking for guests, but finding space maybe difficult especially during late evening or night.
This hotel is superb value for money
One night, November 3. I have spent plenty of nights in hotels around the world, but I have to say this is one of the best experiences I have ever had. From the polite, efficient and helpful staff to the massive, clean comfortable room you cannot go wrong at the CICH. For the price I paid, this hotel is just simply amazing value. Comfortable beds, excellent cable tv, superb and varied continental breakfast (included in price as well) - just a shame I arrived at the resort just as everything closed for the season - go see the Falls anytime, if you want the attractions go from May-October!!
Great location, friedly staff, good value for the price
Stayed from September 16-18, 2003.Great location, good rooms, just steps from the Clifton Hill tourist area, and a 3 minutes walk to the falls. Lots of free parking, very friendly staff that even organized internet access for us or gave directions and tips for trips.The only flaws: Thin walls, you can hear the TV in the neighoring room, and we got a smoker room, although we reserved from Non-smoking, but were told at the time we booked there were only smoking rooms left.Very good value for that price (55/62USD) including continental breakfast with a very wide selection; would definitely stay there again next time.
Great value
We have just returned from a four day visit to Niagara Falls where we enjoyed the friendly staff at the Comfort Inn. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. This is a great place to stay and a good value for your dollar. We will definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay
Me and my husband spent Valentines day (2003) in Niagra Falls, ONT.
Since I made my reservations on the Internet, I could only go by the pictures and other vistor reviews. Needless, to say I was exteremely pleased with the Staff, Room and the Hotel Resturant.
We had to stay w extra days because of the Snow Storm (Feb-2003).
I have just made my reservations for October - 2003 to stay at the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill (again). It is a great location when you have kids, because the Arcade is very close and other activities also.
Loved the family suites
We stayed at the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill, in September of 2002. The staff was extremely helpful, the hotel nice and clean. The breakfast which was contential but way more than enough to feed a family of four. We stayed in a family suite poolside, it was clean, the maid never bothered us, and the pool and jaccuzi area were wonderful. We loved it so much we booked our family vacation there again this year. Same room, same hotel, when we stay at other hotels this is the one that we compare them to. It was wonderful, if you want a nice hotel and a very decent price, this is the hotel to stay at.
Value with great cleanliness
May, 2003 Had a terrific room. Water is always hotter than hot. Free breakfast was fresh, with many choices.The hotel was very clean and the staff nothing but courteous.The indoor pool and hot tub were clean and pleasant.Yes, I would stay again. Add in free parking, who wouldn't
A Nice Place for a Good Price
It is now known as the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill. Date of stay: September 2002 Length of Stay: 3 nightsFamily of 4We found the place to be clean and the staff extremely friendly and attentive. There is a nice pool and large jacuzzi. They have a generous continental breakfast that is included in the price of lodging. Its one drawback is that it is in the Clifton Hill tacky tourist trap area, but it is set just far enough back from the street that you are away from the noise. It is a few blocks from the American Falls and the Maid of the Mist, and about 1/2 mile to the Horseshoe Falls. We would definitely stay there again. It is a nice place at a reasonable price - in September, it was a real bargain.

A little bit of Vegas with a lot of water
... on the first days where we visited 4 wineries and imbibed on a few drinks at each. The speciality of the area is ice wine which is sweet and delicious!
Of course we have also done the little boat ride that takes you out to nearly directly under the falls and tosses you around like a washing machine and you end up saturated...good though!

This is a wine making process only in the colder regions where the grapes are allowed to freeze on the vine and then turned to wine. It increases the sugar content dramatically. The average sweet wine is a 4 and this wine is a 26, therefore it's only suitable as a dessert wine. I am not a fan of dessert wine but I have to say, this was ...

Tip: Make sure you have a good grip on the ball before attempting this move.Read More
Gary Payton doesn't often end up looking a fool on the court, but Jason Williams sure clowned him with this crossover, faking the former defensive player of the year off his feet. As with many of the best crossovers, the basic motions themselves aren't particularly difficult to emulate here, the real challenge being that of convincing your man to bite on the up-fake.
General/Summary: I've stayed away from this game since the PS2 has come along mainly because EA, until recently, has done a poor job of making great games. In that time fortunately the folks at Sega have provided more than enough competition and isn't that free market economy on display...there is nothing greater than competition to produce quality games.
This year we finally have TWO quality games to choose from. While I know this is a review of NBA Live it is hard to deny any comparisons between Live and the 2K series. Having played both games and I will state for the record that I'm a big 2K fan. This years Live has certainly gained some credibility with me. The obvious statements have been made about the differences between these games. The biggest and most common comparison is Live is arcade while 2K is sim. This simply is not true.
The differences in these games are NBA style of basketball circa 1983 versus current NBA style. Anyone who thinks Live is arcade like dosen't have a sense of NBA history. In the late '70's and through the mid-80's NBA games routinely finished with both teams socoring well over a hundred points. I remember in 1983 the game between Detroit and Denver that finished with both teams scoring over 175 points each!!! Back then the NBA was about open and offensive play. Sure defence is important but 20 years ago no one really cared. It was about running the court and getting the easy baskets on the other end.
Todays NBA is all about defence. Players are bigger, faster, stronger and they even play harder but all of that leads to much less scoring. In a nut shell that is the difference between Live and 2K. Live is open, fast and defence is secondary in strategy. In 2K it is much more half court, run your plays to perfection and play good hard defence. Which is better? Thats up to you. If you prefer old-school NBA to modern NBA then Live is your game. IT IS NOT AN ARCADE TITLE.Read More
The Flick is best used in freestyles, although it can also help to create space between you and your defender. Check out the video below to see how it's performed.Read More
Move Type: Game/Freestyle
Tip: Put a little backspin on the first dribble out of the spin move.Read More
General/Summary: This is a pleasent new way to approach basketball simulation, but unfortunately too many problems that just ruins the whole game. Nba Shootout 2003 has however improved a lot since 2001. with the right analog stick making it easy to perform crossovers. The problem is that this game still lacks compared to other basketball titles out (live and 2k). The graphics, gameplay and commutary have all improved but still are terrible compared to other b-ball games. Overall this game is a poor nba live knockoff and will never be the best b-ball game out there.Read More
This move may not do much on its own, but it can be very effective when used in combination with a crossover. Check out the video below to see how it's pulled off.Read More
Move Type: Game/Freestyle
Tip: Carry out the move slowly before attempting it at full speed or you may injure yourself.Read More
General/Summary: Overall this game is prettey cool. In the past, 989 has gotten a bad rep and deservedly so. Well, what a surprise to see it finally out doing the well favord EA sports company. In my mind, this game is the best college basketball game out. Now I know that isn't saying much but Final Four is the best option for college b-ball lovers like myself. After seeing EA's March Madness, I had to laugh because it dosen't even offer the option of playing in a season. So unless you want to play a six game tournament over and over, Final Four is the choice to make. However, this game is not without some flaws of its own. The game has prettey good graphics but it still doesn't come up to par with the capabilites of the PS2. The lack of player models is sort of a let down. I understand that you can't make every person in the game down to their exact physical characteristics but a little more than 8 diffent player faces would be nice. Also when playing the game, I was impressed by the movement of the crowed and the chears that performed at various times. However, This game promissed to have the crowds chant authentic school cheers and the band playing the fight songs. I have heard these on a very rare occasion. It would also be nice to have the crowed yell real loud when the visiting team has the ball. The commentary is prettey good. I do wish that they could say a little more though. Every time you turn the ball over like 8 or more times you will hear " They're just givin the ball away tonight." But other than that the sound is good. This game is fun and it allows you to get into it with option of playing a full season and keeping track of rankings, stats, and even 1st and 2nd team all conference and all american awards.Read More

The all-new Lexus IS is the most convincing compact executive saloon the brand has built yet. When we tested the IS 300h hybrid, we found it a refined cruiser with low running costs, and an attractive alternative to its German rivals.
Now we've tried the sporty F Sport version with 2.5-litre V6 petrol power. The petrol IS has a claimed 0-62mph time of 8.1 seconds, which is two-tenths quicker than the hybrid's. It's still not very fast when compared to rivals, though, and you need to work the engine hard to really get the car going. Sadly, you're hampered by a slow-witted six-speed automatic transmission that delivers lazy shifts whether you use the steering wheel paddles or let the gearbox take control.
The F Sport has crisper looks than the standard car, but can't back it up with a sporty drive. While the suspension has been stiffened and larger 18-inch alloys are included, all this does is firm up the ride without making the IS any sharper to drive.
The steering has been tweaked, too, but it still has little in the way of feedback. Inside, sporty touches include new seats and instruments. Yet although you get lots of kit for your cash, the cabin feels small, and navigating the infotainment system takes some getting used to.

Celebrity Pictures in Designer Jeans
Keith Urban in Levi's
Keith Urban gave a surprise concert for commuters at the NYC-Philadelphia Amtrak Station while sporting a pair of casual Levi's. I like the fit of his jeans and his shirt is fine, but what is up with those boots? I thought country singers wore cowboy boots…those things are throwing me off with the suede croc-looking front round toe…ekkk!
Well let's hope that Keith is dressed better when he has his upcoming appearances on "The Today Show," "The Early Show," and when he performs on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" or at least let's not see pictures of those boots again. Ha!
Katie Holmes in Current/Elliott
How could I miss these pictures? Well better late than never, right? Katie Holmes was out shopping for a Halloween costume with Suri back in October wearing Current/Elliott "The Boyfriend" Shorts in Dust Destroy Wash.
So as the cold weather is quickly approaching, will you be wearing this type of look? Wearing tights under shorts? It certainly is one way to expand your winter wardrobe! I've also liked the shorts with knee high socks and boots, with the knee high socks just peaking out. You can buy these shorts here.
Audrina Patridge in 7 For All Mankind
Audrina Patridge was spotted getting her nails done in Los Angeles wearing 7 For All Mankind Gummy Moto Denim. Kim Kardashian is such a huge fan of these jeans as we have blogged her over and over in them! Audrina rightly paired those boots with the jeans.
Have you heard that Audrina will be getting her own reality show soon? It still doesn't have an official name, but Audrina says "We start filming in January, there's no confirmed name yet, but we're still working on that. It's basically going to be about me and my Hollywood life, me and my family life, my boyfriend, traveling – everything that everybody just wants to know about, and just opening up." Is she really that interesting that people will watch this just to know more about her? I guess we'll find out! Buy 7 For All Mankind jeans at Boutique To You.
Britney Spears in R13 (again)
Britney Spears was spotted getting back to work in Hollywood, CA wearing her R13 jeans again. With her typical Starbucks in one hand, Britney wore a casual red top with her jeans this time as she headed into Conway Studios to record a little more music.
Have you heard that Britney's previously divorced parents have worked through their issues to get back together? Isn't it every kids' dream to have their parents together again? Good for them, I hope it lasts this time!

By Colette Bouchez
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
You're lying on the sofa, maybe munching a bag of chips, and watching your favorite movie on DVD. And ... you're toning your abs? That's the picture painted by some proponents of passive exercise, a fitness trend based on the idea that you can pretty much do nothing and still work out, if you have the right equipment doing the work for you.
But could this really work? WebMD asked three experts to offer up their opinions on four of the top passive exercise trends: whole-body vibration, chi machines, electronic ab stimulators, and inversion boots. So grab that bag of veggie chips, prop up your feet, and read on -- their answers might surprise you!
Whole-Body Vibration
By far the most popular new addition to the passive exercise category is whole-body vibration or WBV -- also known as "Power Plate" exercise. An outgrowth of a program used to train Russian cosmonauts, it quickly spread through Europe and Japan, then hit U.S. shores -- with whole centers now devoted to this workout.

"Personalization was not a challenge for this beautiful card. My only reservation was that the scripture that framed the image was very tiny and slightly hard to read. It's a beautiful verse and the entire reason I selected the card - wish it would appear just a tad larger..."
"This card was perfect except that it had no religious symbol on it. The design team was able to add a cross instead of the initial. The team member was extremely helpful. Turned out perfect!"
"The ability to edit this to your own words is a great feature! Especially picking your own fonts! The quality of the paper is fantatstic."
"I was so amazed at how quick the turn around time was. The quality, picture and information on the card was beautifully made."
"I liked this design because it was so different from many designs I had seen. It turned out beautifully. So happy with our choice. I also appreciate the idea the design team suggested to change the color of the font so it was more legible. Thank you!"

Vincenzo Nibali Set For Tour De France Victory
It's all over but Sunday's ride down the Champs-Elysees: Italian cyclist Vincenzo Nibali has locked up an unassailable lead in the 2014 Tour de France.
Nibali, 29, is poised to take his first title in cycling's premier event and will become the first Italian to wear the yellow jersey on the final stage from Evry to Paris since Marco Pantani in 1998.
Astana Pro Team and Nibali, Cycling Weekly says, "relinquished the lead to Frenchman Tony Gallopin for just one day before Nibali took it back with an impressive win at the top of La Planche des Belles Filles.
CW said:
"When the race hit the Alps Nibali wasted no time in cementing his lead further. He won his third stage in Chamrousse and distanced all his rivals again the following day to Risoul."
According to The New York Times, Nibali drove home his domination when he "joined the American Chris Horner in an attack on the final climb of the Tour."
On Saturday, a day before the finish of the grueling, nearly three-week event, Nibali did well enough in the time trial to cement his dominance, as German Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) "crushed stage 20," Velo News writes.
The Times says:
"Before the race began, it seemed likely that a time-trial showdown would involve Alberto Contador and Chris Froome, the defending champion. But both abandoned the race earlier because of crash-related injuries.
"Oleg Tinkov, the owner of Contador's Tinkoff-Saxo team, had suggested that Nibali, who has also won the grand tours of Italy and Spain, was winning by default. But several strong performances at the Tour by Nibali, particularly Thursday, meant that Tinkov held a minority opinion.
"Nibali rejected the idea that he was emulating the style of the disgraced Lance Armstrong by imposing himself as the boss no rider dare cross.
"'I'm very different than Lance,' said Nibali, whose news conference manner is certainly far less combative than Armstrong's. 'I haven't done one huge performance. I got 30 seconds here, 40 seconds there.'"

Pro-Pussy Activists Attack Port Authority
Animal activists defend the feral kitties of JFK against collective euthanasia, a stolen bike is rescued by East Village heroes, and a man in Coney Island suffers a craptastic fall — all in your daily dish from the five boroughs.
Coney Island: In an uncertain season here, some see a bad omen in a patron at the boardwalk's iconic Ruby's Bar and Grill falling through the floor while taking a leak and landing literally in a pile of crap. [NYO via Curbed]
East Village: A tightly knit gaggle of cyclists staged an amazing, elaborate, and suspenseful take-back of a pal's stolen bike. Seriously, who knew that cyclists could collaborate like superheroes? [Bike Blog via Gothamist]
Gowanus: A dig is going on in Thomas Greene Park, where a pool is set to open in July, to find out just how much toxic material lies beneath. This is also called "Double D Park." Does anyone know why? Is there some breasts-related inside joke we're missing? [Brownstoner]
Jamaica: Port Authority will no longer neuter the pack of feral cats that inhabit the grounds of JFK Airport and instead will remove them to shelters, where they may be put down. P.A. honchos say the wild kitties are an airport hazard, but a pro-pussyist says, "I've never seen a feral kitten pole vault into the engine of a jet airplane." She's obviously never eaten mushrooms before a flight. [amNY via QueensCrap]
Mill Island: Do you even know where this corner of Brooklyn is? Well, neither did we, but after looking at these photos of the hood's crazy mini-castles and various pretty inlets, we'd like to visit it. [Traffic Triangle]
Park Slope: It would be sooo easy to mock the food co-op here for just banning plastic bags, but you know what? God love 'em for doing the right thing. And they're gonna ban the plastic roll-and-rip bags in the produce section next. So don't think they can be stopped on any level. [Brooklyn Paper]
Upper West Side: The city has stopped the private Trinity School from selling the last (affordable) Mitchell-Lama building in the area to a private condo developer — a kibosh that leaves even non-Christian tenants there making the sign of the cross. [amNY]

"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"
"I love my cards they turned out great!! The only thing I would have changed would have been the colors I didn't edit my pictures before sending them to print, I think the color was not as sharp as I would have wanted them to be but besides that they turned out perfect!!"
"I liked the rich look yet simplicity of this Christmas card. Some cards become fussy and try to convey too much information and too many pictures. This card design is elegant with one picture, combined with a sturdy weight of the card, made it perfect for showcasing my teenage children's holiday picture. Also,I paid for expedited shipping and the cards arrived 2 days before I even expected them. Bravo Tiny Prints!!"
"Quick delivery and better than expected. Paper and quality of the photo printed are very good. Will likely re-order at next occasion...great job overall!"
"Loved the design and metallic look of the card. Quality print and material. I was very impressed and received lots of compliments on this Christmas card."

There are many instances when the ability to remotely collaborate on a project with a colleague is a real boon. The same is true outside of paid work, too. But people don't always need to be a long distance apart for web-based collaborative working to be useful. Many voluntary and community projects and activities involve people who can't always meet up to discuss and share their ideas, even when they live very close to each other.
Students working on projects may find it's often more convenient to get together using a computer than to meet in a physical space, for example. And family members sharing the workload of putting together a family tree or organising a reunion can find the web offers a useful way to share ideas.
The ability to access an online repository of collective ideas can be more reliable than expecting one individual in the group to capture, organise and share information on behalf of everybody, too. See Business Advisor.
When we think of 'collaborative working', we tend to imagine document-sharing systems such as Google Docs. But what about idea-generation- and brainstorming-type activities? That's where whiteboarding comes into its own. Such online services allow for the capture of freeform ideas and aid the generation of new projects by bringing together a group of people's thoughts, all in one place.
Here, we look at two online whiteboarding services, each with a slightly different approach. Dabbleboard, the subject of our first workshop, is a freeform system that lets you create and capture ideas visually; Writeboard, meanwhile, concentrates on shared text creation. Both services have a place in the arsenal of any group wanting to share creative processes. Office software reviews.
Visual brainstorming with Dabbleboard
Step 1. If you want to do more than just write text documents that you can share with others, dabbleboard.com offers some graphically rich collaboration methods. Click Get Started, then look for the Start icon at the top left of the following screen. Click this, then choose New drawing to begin.
Step 2. Use the mouse to draw shapes onscreen. Dabbleboard does its best to recognise your doodles and turn them into regular squares and triangles. Click a shape and drag its four corner icons to resize it, copy it and move it around the screen. A pop-up toolbox also lets you rotate the shape.
Step 3. Click anywhere to bring up a text box that you can simply start typing into. You can copy, move and delete text, and you can add symbols and apply basic formatting by clicking to select a text box. You can also put text into boxes, or connect text boxes with arrows.
Step 4. You'll need to sign up if you want take advantage of all of Dabbleboard's features. These include multiuser groups that let you share access to an unlimited number of whiteboard projects. With the free account you can still share drawings with other people and download SVG image files of your drawing.
Step 5. Even without signing up you can chat with other people about a drawing by inviting them to join a chat session by email. This allows you a measure of collaborative working if you simply want to test the system before signing up for an account. Click the Invite Others box to the right of the screen.
Step 6. Other tricks you can try using the free account include importing documents and photos. These appear on the whiteboard as images that can be drawn over - we've added an editable caption box. To do the same, find and click the appropriate icon on the toolbar at the top of the screen.
>> Next page: Sharing documents with Writeboard
Sharing documents with Writeboard
Step 1. Writeboard is ideal for collaborating on text documents. Head to writeboard.com and create a document. Fill in the three fields on the home page with a name for your writeboard, a password to access it and your email address. Click to agree to the terms, then 'Create the Writeboard'.
Step 2. Now you can get started with creating your document. Writeboard is based around text, and you simply type into the large white box shown onscreen. You might want to start by outlining a document, adding in specific questions for other people, or you could take another approach that suits you.
Step 3. Writeboard offers a few basic formatting features, which you can apply by inserting special codes into the text. To make a chunk of text bold, for example, bookend it with * characters. The formatting will be visible after you click Save. Click the formatting guide link to the right of the screen to see other codes you can use.
Step 4. Enter your name below the document so other people will know who was the last person to add to or amend the document. Don't forget to save the writeboard - click 'Save this writeboard' below the document. When you make subsequent edits, you'll instead need to choose 'Save as the newest version'.
Step 5. You can now invite other people to collaborate with you on the document. Click Invite people at the top right of the screen, then fill in the form with their email address and your name. Click Send invitation. The recipient will get an email containing a link to the writeboard and a password with which to access it.
Step 6. Others can add comments to the end of a document that are readable by anyone with access to it. They can also click 'Edit this page' at the top of the screen and add their comments to the main body of the document. They must remember to click 'Save as the newest version' when they have finished.
Step 7. The revision history of a document is visible in the right panel. Click on any version of the document to view it. If you decide to stick with an older one, simply click 'Revert to this version'. You can compare two versions by selecting them and clicking 'Compare'. Any changes are highlighted onscreen.
Step 8. If you want to export a document created in Writeboard so that you can then edit it in a word processor or add it to a website, click the Export button at the top of the screen. Writeboard offers you two versions of the file to download: a text version and an HTML document. Simply click your preferred version.

Hi. I'm trying to provide a csv file for download that won't open up with the data in the browser window, but that can be downloaded as a .csv file through the browse dialog and be saved to the user's hard drive. I tried using the download monitor plugin but that didn't change anything.
Is there a way to force the browse dialog to open?

Great game
I received this game for being a bzz agent. I just received in on Saturday and my son was asking to play it nonstop, he was so excited! He was finally able to play it on Sunday and didn't want to stop. He is now playing it as I speak, while talking to the tv. He absolutely loves it (more so than the first Cars game). I asked him how many stars he would give it and he said definitely 5!!! He has played as Lightning, Finn McMissile, Luigi, Francisco, Mater, and I have no idea who else. He is having a ball with the races and being able to shoot at things with his missiles and use his turbo power ups. I've really never seen him have more fun playing a video game than this one! We didn't even consider using the nunchuk for the game, just grabbed one of the wheels we have from mariocart and put the remote in there. So far he hasn't had any problems being able to operate on the various courses.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Federal authorities say a Miami man has
pleaded guilty to smuggling cocaine concealed inside phony Easter
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice says Esteban Galtes entered the plea Monday in federal court in Los Angeles.
Galtes was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in December after officers searched his luggage and found 10 pounds of cocaine, much of it camouflaged as egg-shaped candies that he
claimed were for his children.
A message was left for Galtes' attorney Lisa Shinar.
Galtes is set to be sentenced on May 5. Court papers show he could face up to 40 years in prison.

Shoeless Joe & Me (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
When Joe Stoshack hears about Shoeless Joe Jackson -- and the gambling scandal that destroyed the star player's career -- he knows what he has to do. If he travels back in time with a 1919 baseball card in his hand, he just might be able to prevent the infamous Black Sox Scandal from ever taking place. And if he could do that, Shoeless Joe Jackson would finally take his rightful place in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
But can Stosh prevent that tempting envelope full of money from making its way to Shoeless Joe's hotel room before the big game?

October 17, 2015 at 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM
Location: The Farm at Prophetstown in Prophetstown State Park
Phone: Clay Geyer 574-952-7197
Email: email@example.com
Link: http://www.cornhusking.com
Event Description
The Farm at Prophetstown will be the corn husking capital of Indiana on Saturday and Sunday, October 17-18, as the Prophetstown State Park will host the Indiana and National Corn Husking Contest. The park is Indiana's newest state park. Prophetstown is located where the Tippecanoe River meets the Wabash near the town of Battle Ground.
The Indiana Hand Corn Husking Contest will be held on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. This contest is open to all who enjoy old-fashioned corn husking. Participants in the timed contest husk corn from one row, throwing the ears into a horse-drawn wagon. The corn is then weighted and inspected for excess husks. Classes vary from 10 to 20 minutes. The contests are open to both men and women of various age groups, from youth to Golden Agers. The cost is $20 per person to husk; spectators will be admitted at no charge. There is a Prophetstown State Park gate admission for all huskers and spectators.
Each state in the National Corn Husking Association (nine states) may send 36 participants to the national competition. The top three in each class qualifies for national competition. This year, Indiana is proud to host the National contest.
The Farm at Prophetstown is located in the Prophetstown State Park. Driving Directions: Take I-65 to exit number 178 which is State Road 43 go south on SR 43 (away from the park-trust me this is correct) for a very short distance and then turn left onto Burnett Road. Burnett Road will "T" into 9th Street. Go right on 9th Street to Swisher Road which will be a hard left immediately after the Veterinary Office. Once on Swisher Road you will cross back under the interstate and find the Park Gatehouse directly ahead. Look for the farm homestead on your right.

My harbor freight low profile aluminum jack finally died on me. Any recommendations on what to replace it with?
My harbor freight low profile aluminum jack finally died on me. Any recommendations on what to replace it with?
Sold - 1997 Jewel Green 6 Speed - 835rwhp
I have had a Sear's Craftsman 3 1/2ton for years... and its been great... dont know about low profile but its 6inches high to get it under to jack anything up... so it should work on most anything... I use it on my SupraTT all the time and from your pic we sit about the same.. I also run CCW classics too lol
I have a Craftsman Aluminum 1.5 ton low profile jack... its a good balance between being lightweight but also having good lifting height and not being too much work to pump.
I think they're about $200 or so normally priced, but are on sale from time to time.
Costco sells a good low profile jack for less than $100. I've had it for a few months and it performs flawlessly. It is heavy, but rated at 3.5 tons and is a 'quick lift' type.
I remember few years back some company made a ultra low profile jack that was only about 2" high and when it all the way down it looked like a solid brick of billet, it was very nice quality and around $300,it wasn't hydralic though,it was made for some seriously dropped cars.
don't waste your $$ on HF garbage, I bought one about 4 years ago and it only worked for a week before blowing seal or something, I put off trying to return it and never did,
_Stefan B
elite custom body + paint
do what's right,not what's easy
Need professional advice or opinion on body/paint/assembly or cosmetic related issues?Just ask.
I have a harbor frieght one been working fine, was only $70
Before my AL jack, I had a Big Red low profile jack... it was heavy but it was solid as a rock and I am pretty sure it was only $100. Pep Boys sells them...
The costco 3 1/2 ton is nice and only about $95. I also bought an aluminum 3 ton at costco which is also very good. Check your costco to see what they stock at the moment.
1994 Supra 6 speed , RR, Targa , factory black leather/carpet, HKS Hi-Power exhaust
Costco JACK FTW! I have one at home and it has been great.
costco jacks are the way to go it seems. i have had one for a few years with no problems.
Costco it is then! They also have their "lifetime" guarantee on all their products...
We don't offer that on tv's/computers anymore! Too many people were bringing them back after ten years saying, "oh the color is off." Or other dumb bullshit like that. Hell someone brought back a 15 year old washer, said he didn't want it anymore, got his money back and bought a new washer! You can still do that though.
But yeah the jack here is a pretty sweet one. Does suck it's heavy, but it's not heavier than my other 5 ton Costco jack! That thing is a beast.
1997 RSP TT BPU+ *Supra rebuild*
1985 P-Type Supra *under construction*
No, you can return anything for any reason there. They really did do that.
Someone brought back an empty bottle of KS Vodka and his exact words for returning it were, "It gave me a headache." When you return something they print out a label with a reason for return (you can just say you didn't want it, but people never fail to amaze me with their real reasons) and we saved that one in the RTV cage.
If you bought a tv before 5 years ago or so (don't remember the date), you can still return it though. Someone brought back a really old projection tv and said it wouldn't power up. I asked the RTV people, "Do you guys even check these?" and they said no. So I went and plugged that thing in and it worked fine!!!!!
Bikes, and washers, and refrigerators, and stuff that isn't to be resold or salvaged we get to destroy with the forklifts though.
I have one of these. They are BADASS. Reach is amazing and it's only 2.5" thick. Pricey at $399 but hit up a mato truck and you can always talk him down or have them find you a used one.
1997 RSP Hardtop Supra T88h, Haltech s2000, 6 Speed 693 rwhp @ 29psi
2007 Speedway Blue Tacoma 4x4 (Tow Rig) 195 rwhp at 0 psi
1994 Toyota Pickup 4x4 (Rockcrawler)
2000 Toyota Corolla Daily
1983 Chris Craft 21'3" with 225 Honda (Dive Boat)
1987 Cobia 16' Flats with 2013 E-Tec 90
I'm not exactly sure what your budget is, but I recently purchased a Torin 2.5T aluminum race jack from Northern Tool. Paid about $170 plus tax. I also purchased a 2-year replacement warranty which was only like $35 extra. It is fairly light and has a minimum lift height of around 4". So far so good.
This thread is worthless until people post up the min height of the Costco jacks. I have a harbor Freight 3-1/8" min aluminum jack and its barely low enough. I have had my eye on the matco fancy one. It looks to be the best I've ever seen.
Now I gotta work my TRD wheel
Poppin trunks, still poppin fluid seals
High up in the hill with my mind on millz
Piece of chain swangin, bank roll, shiny grill
Baby, I got million dollar dreams, with my mind on cream
I'm in that mean RED machine clean on 19s
I pull up like this, untouchable white wrist
I'm hotter than warm piss, berry grape Sunkist-P.W.
I just drive up on a piece of 2x4 and my jack fits
I have a lo pro steel jack i got from walmart about 3 yrs ago that fits under anything I have tried so far including my super low z06. I paid all of 40 bucks for it and its still running strong and I wish I could find another one but they dont seem to have them anymore
my friend has that alum low-pro racing jack from HF with the extended warranty and he's had it for like 8 months no problem.
if it ever goes, he can just replace it with a new one.
I would buy that matco one though if you got the $$$

Previous studies have documented spousal and intergenerational correlations in body mass index (BMI) but few have considered familial weight data augmented with socioeconomic and behavioral control variables. This article considers a U.S. dataset that contains such information on husbands, wives, and grown children. Although certain variables (like education, race, and smoking status) are helpful in explaining an individual's BMI, the BMI of one's spouse (or parents) remains the most significant predictor of BMI. To help distinguish between correlation and causality in the married-adult BMI regressions, we consider two alternative approaches for dealing with possible endogeneity (due to omitted variables): (1) including spousal variables to proxy for omitted variables and (2) modeling spousal BMI in a hierarchical framework to explicitly allow for a "couple" effect. The results suggest endogeneity of educational attainment, but not smoking status, and support prior research that finds different associations of BMI with income for husbands and wives. For grown children, parental BMI and smoking status are identified as significant predictors.

This works fine locally on my machine, but when trying to run the app in heroku it says "uninitialized constant ShipRecord::SojournerSupport (NameError)" ShipRecord being the name of the model that I include the module in.
Any ideas or suggestions?

There are no exceptions - even on a cold, rainy night in January, you'll have to wait outside the unmarked door of Hop Sing Laundromat in Chinatown for entry.
After the doorman comes out to check your party's IDs (don't try to enter with more than four people) and give you the once-over (don't wear sneakers or hats), you will, if you're lucky, make the cut to the next-level waiting room, where there are more rules (no cellphone photos, video, or talking), and finally to a table where there are yet more rules (cash only, two-drink minimum). Getting into this highly stylized bar on a weekend night almost feels like a personal accomplishment, one that's best rewarded by a stiff and delicious cocktail.

Starsky's Glaser stars in Fiddler on the Roof tour, helmed by Revel Horwood
Terri Paddock • West End, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bradford, Darlington, Derby, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle upon Tyne, Nottingham, Scarborough, Sheffield, Sunderland, Wakefield, York, Brighton, Bromley, Bury St Edmunds, Canterbury, Chelmsford, Chichester, Colchester, Eastbourne, Guildford, Ipswich, Newbury, Norwich, Reading, Southampton, Southend, Stevenage, Watford • 12 Apr 2013
Paul Michael Glaser, still best remembered by TV fans as Starsky in the seminal 1970s American cop series Starsky and Hutch, will star as Tevye in a new touring production of classic Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof. Directed and choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood in his trademark actor-musician style, it will launching on 10 September 2013 (previews from 5 September) from the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton.
The revival is the third offering from Music and Lyrics, a consortium of the UK's largest independent No. 1 presenting theatres which was founded last year with the aim of mounting and touring new musical theatre productions. Fiddler on the Roof follows last year's revival of The King and I (originally seen at Leicester Curve) and the current tour of High Society.
In Tsarist Russia in 1905, poor dairyman Tevye is doing his best to preserve tradition in the face of a changing world by marrying his daughters off in the traditional Jewish way. But revolution is in the air and the young are guided by their hearts, not their elders. When his daughters refuse the matchmaker's advice and marry for love instead, Tevye must choose between their happiness and his beloved traditions.
The musical, based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem with a book by Joseph Stein and score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, originally opened on Broadway in 1964 and includes now-classic songs such as "Tradition", "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" and "If I Were a Rich Man".
Fiddler on the Roof was last seen in the West End (transferred from Sheffield Crucible) in 2008, starring Henry Goodman as Tevye. This is the first major UK production since book writer Joseph Stein and Jerry Bock died within days of each other in late 2010.
Paul Michael Glaser
Paul Michael Glaser appeared in the 1974 film of Fiddler on the Roof, playing the young Bolshevik revolutionary Perchik who falls in love with Tevye's second daughter. On stage, he has appeared in over 50 roles in regional, repertory, off-Broadway and Broadway theatre in the US. He has appeared on the UK stage before in pantomime at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley and Sunderland Empire. This is his UK musical debut.
In this new production of Fiddler on the Roof, Craig Revel Horwood will reproduce the original direction and choreographer of the its Broadway creator Jerome Robbins. Revel Horwood will be joined on the creative team by his long-time collaborator, musical director Sarah Travis. Following Southampton, Fiddler on the Roof will visit Newcastle (Theatre Royal), Edinburgh (Festival Theatre) and Canterbury (Marlowe Theatre), with further dates still to be announced.

Duch, Master Of The Forges Of Hell is an intriguing documentaryabout Kaing Guek Eav, known as Duch, who became the head of the S21 prison inPhnom Penh, where more than twelve thousand people died.
Title cards at thebeginning set up the backdrop for us: �InCambodia, between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge regime caused the death ofapproximately 1.8 million people, representing a quarter of the population ofCambodia.� Those numbers are staggering. I didn�t have a lot of priorknowledge about these events, and I could have used a bit more information atthe beginning of this documentary to ground me. But even without that, I wasvery quickly sucked into this film.
The documentary focuseson interviews with Duch. He is confronted with documents and photographs duringthe interview, and comments quite candidly about them, and about hisinvolvement. He also identifies interrogation officers in the old photographs,and many of them look incredibly young. Mixed in is quite a bit of black andwhite footage. It�s provocative and helps to set the tone, but none of thefootage is ever precisely identified. It helps with atmosphere, but not so muchwith information.
Early on Duch says, �I joined the revolution to serve my countryand my people. I owed it to my parents.� He talks about using children � �middle-class peasants or poor peasants��at S21. �I�d make them watch andinterrogate people. The youngest took care of the rabbits.� Even this isspoken so candidly, and so casually. The children were not educated, but wereloyal to him. He certainly had no soft spot for the young, as he says later, �The enemy�s children had to be destroyed.�
Duch was in charge oftraining at the prison. He trained the others on how to interrogate prisoners.He told them not to think of the captives as human beings. Whoever was arrestedby the Party must be considered an enemy. Interestingly, he found theilliterate ones perfectly willing to kill. The educated ones were less willing.
In one of the film�s manycompletely engrossing and horrifying moments, he reads from a report on aninterrogation from 1977: �I decided totorture the suspect.� He reads the description, which includes electrocution,and this: �We made him swallow three orfour spoonfuls of shit.�
He says he never conducted interrogations himself, notdue to any moral high ground, but seemingly out of a fear of not being able toget results. But then a man who was a guard at the prison who is alsointerviewed for the film says he saw Duch interrogate a prisoner. And Duch isconfronted with the footage of that interview. Duch then says he interrogatedonly one person, and he describes that interrogation.
We never see or hearthose conducting the interviews, only Duch himself, and this has a somewhateerie effect, as it really makes it his film, like he�s in control of hisstory. We�re never able to get too far away from him (though of course we�dlike to). Plus, he says things like, �I�dlike to speak of my school teacher,� which seems to indicate he has thepower to change subjects, as if this were his film. It�s a very interestingapproach. (Regarding his school teacher, he learned she was at S21, but he wasafraid to go see her.)
At one point Duch says hehas tended to think of himself as innocent. Because he was part of the police,he believes the crimes belong to the government (a government which he noteswas recognized by the UN, and had a seat at the UN until 1990). But he thinksdifferently today. Toward the end he says, �WhatI did is criminal, but I was serving an ideology. I was ordered to commit thesecrimes.� This is an interesting point, and it�s this type of thought thatallows all sorts of atrocities to happen. It is what allows a soldier to feelokay about killing, when of course in reality it is still murder.
A title card at the endtells us, �In 2009, Kaing Guek Eav, aka Dutch, was the first Khmer Rouge leaderpresented before the Extroardinary Chambers with Courts Of Cambodia.� (Yes, thetitle card has spelling mistakes � �Extroardinary� and �realease� � which is ashame, because it leaves you with the impression that the film is a bitsloppy.) Duch was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The DVD contains nospecial features.
Duch, Master Of The Forges Of Hell was directed by Rithy Pahn. It wasreleased on DVD on August 6, 2013 through First Run Features.
