When a breakfast taco just isn't enough to absorb last night's fun, order one of El Chilito's breakfast burritos instead. I recommend the Migas Burrito, which is exactly the version you'd find on a plate (chip strips, tomato, onion, serranos, eggs, generous cheese), wrapped up in a tortilla so large it could double as a wrap skirt.
At first, El Chilito was a simply fantastic taco box serving up my favorite breakfast tacos. It wasn't too long before I was buying El Chilito salsa by the jar, and ordering fish tacos for dinner multiple nights a week! I love the puffy fish taco for its tasty shell and baja slaw!
Awesome Food, I love it! – Okay ya'll, these are the best tacos in town. I love going to El Chilito, and could really eat there anytime. I go for breakfast tacos when I don't have time to make my own breakfast, running late, etc. And I'll stop there to bring home food after work. I love everything I've tried there, and the salsa is especially wonderful, tasty, yummy! Sometimes you have to wait 10-15 minutes, but it's well worth it. Some people complain about that, but for the quality of their food, I can wait!
The Hangover Cure and darn good food – I love this place (especially if I drank a bit too much the night before) for a good meal. I would recommend charlie's special for breakfast and picadillo or pescado entortillado with beans and rice for lunch. Also, I like the option to have flour or corn tortillas- I usually get the corn. Its more authentic and in my opinion a lot tastier than Taco Deli. I like getting to watch the kitchen staff use REAL ingredients when they cook and the staff up front always seems friendly.
Ok tacos, inconsistent service – 8 times out of 10 my order is wrong at El Chilito on Manor. And not just sort of wrong, but completely wrong even though it's my order. Double check before leaving that you have the right tacos!
Pricey but wonderful! – The Conchinita Pibil and Tinga de Pollo are my favorite. My girlfriend gets the Picadillo or the Carne Asada tacos. The food is great, the drink selection superb, but the prices are rather high (once you addon should-be included items like guac and sour cream). You kinda get the idea that the staff would just as soon stab you in the eye as serve you metabolic sustenance. Gotta sport the leather cuz the In-Crowd frequents... oh yeah...
Delicious – delicious
Drive-up taco stand perfectly suits its more formal self. – Opening multiple locations is a classic move for successful Austin restauranteurs. This is probably the closest offspring from the original; they're on the same street, serving virtually identical menus. This location is super casual, with a fishbowl-esque kitchen and what can be called partially indoor seating (There's a roof but only screened-in walls.) Guests watch tomatoes roasting, for smoky salsa, and tortillas warming on huge grills. Salads, stuffed burritos, and perfect tacos are perpetually in demand and keep the flow of traffic in and out of this stand brisk.
Good stuff – I'm excited that we finally got an El Chilito in downtown Austin. There's a dearth of good, cheap lunch places here, especially since we lost the Torchy's on 6th street. I love having breakfast taco and a Mexican Coke with a side of black beans. The employees are really friendly as well.
Good Puffy Tacos – good food and really good puffy tacos. Just make sure not to put the bag on your lap otherwise you WILL have a grease spot on you. Only had two problems ever. One the sangrias are never strong enough, just get a large beer insted. Two, the last time I went they were outa puffy taco's which would have been ok, but they did not tell me until after taking my order and money while they did offer to change my order I didnt want anything else and just need my cash back and I got shorted a few bucks. I didnt notice till I got home, still I probably go back as I assume it was just a mistake.
great fish tacos – they our one of my top picks in austin for fish tacos, if i want the the best i need to drive to TJ antoney in san antonio. make sure that you order corn tortillas with your fish tacos.
Good latte, great taco... – Stop by El Chilito for some cheese-y Austin charm--heavy on BOTH cheese (as in the dairy product, not Celine Dion) AND the bewitchery of local Austin at its finest.
Keep in mind you may wait in line forever, to order and to eat, HOWEVER, you will also experience sheer ecstasy upon your very FIRST bite of the migas breakfast taco, coated in salt and their unique fire roasted salsa.
Live on the wild side and sample the soy latte--a great addition to any Monday morning.

Development Academy Playoffs: Day 3
U.S. Soccer Development Academy
2010-11 Playoffs and Showcase
Pizza Hut Park; Frisco, Texas
June 26, 2011
BOTH AGE GROUPS TAKE THE FIELD: A full day of games at Pizza Hut Park brought some clarity to the U-17/18 Playoff picture, while the U-15/16 age groups got their first touches on the grass here in Frisco. Including the Showcase games, 61 total matches were played on Saturday (62 if you count the FC Dallas vs. Portland Timbers game in the stadium).
U-15/16s KICKED OFF: Some notes to take away from the first day of games:
- Six of the eight groups have two teams tied for the lead on points after winning their first game, illustrating how important some of these matches will be in the coming days.Â
- In Group 2, the 29th seeded Dallas Texans lead the group after an upset of No. 2 seeded Concorde Fire, putting them in the driver's seat heading into the second round of games.Â
- In Group 5, the 28th seeded New England Revolution put on a similar display, upsetting No. 7 seeded North Carolina Fusion to put them in control of their own fate.Â
- For all other results, check the U-15/16 Academy schedule and results page here.
U-15/16 STANDINGS AFTER DAY ONE: After 16 games, group standings have started to take shape, with several looking incredibly close. Four groups saw all their games decided by one goal, meaning the next set of matches has the potential to turn the standings upside down. Find out where your club stands on the Academy standings page at ussoccer.com.
U-17/18s CONTINUED PLAY: Under the bright Texas sun, the U-17/18 teams took to the field for the second day in a row for group play. Some highlights from today:
- Two teams, Real Salt Lake AZ and Players Development Academy kept their shutout streak alive through their second game on their way to two wins.Â
- Pateadores stretched their winning streak to six, continuing the run of good form that got them into Playoffs in the last few weeks of the season.
PATH TO FINALS WEEK BECOMES CLEAR: With two games down for each team in the U-17/18 age group, the path to Finals Week became clearer for a few teams. Groups 2 and 6 each have two leaders that have yet to play each other, meaning their clashes on Monday will be for a trip to Finals Week. The berths for three other groups are still up for grabs among three teams, leaving their Monday matches as nervy encounters where each goal will have an effect on the standings. See how the big picture looks at the standings page.
WATCHING YOUR TEAMMATES ON THE BIG STAGE: Fifteen players on the U-17 Men's National Team currently in the FIFA U-17 World Cup play on Academy clubs, proving the Development Academy's worth to the national team program just four years in. Find out how their teammates adapt to their absence, and how they learn by the example these players set when they return to their clubs.
SHAKING OFF THE RUST: When Concorde Fire U-15/16 played against Clearwater Chargers on June 5, 2011, it was the first time the team had played together since the 2010 Winter Showcase in December. Since qualifying back in February, Concorde's wait was finally over with their first Playoff game Saturday. Read about how they prepared after such a long break.
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWNS: Along with the battles for Finals Week, Academy clubs that didn't qualify for the postseason will still get the chance to play competitive matches this weekend in the form of a round-robin style tournament. With two days of matches in the book, games will continue today where teams will continue to test themselves against rarely-played opponents whenever possible.
U.S. NATIONAL TEAM SCOUTS IN ATTENDANCE: Nearly 30 U.S. Soccer Technical Advisors and scouts will be watching games throughout the weekend. They will take this opportunity to look at players from all around the country play in competitive matches during the next five days, while Technical Advisors will review and discuss the match with coaches immediately following their games.

From the beginning the "obvious question was how to finance such a war,"1 a war that became the largest and most destructive conflict in history. Roosevelt and other leaders [used propaganda posters] to mold public opinion, and rally an, at times, unenthusiastic American citizenry to arms.
"YOU can't afford to miss EITHER! BUY BONDS EVERY PAYDAY"
WILLIAM BRADLEY and SHAUNA WEINSTEIN
Martha Sawyers, a prominent realist painter, was one of many artists commissioned by the Office of War Information to create propaganda posters for the war effort. Her most famous poster, "YOU can't afford to miss EITHER! . . . BUY BONDS EVERY PAYDAY," was produced in 1944. The poster is an effective propaganda tool, immediately grabbing the viewer's attention through two vivid, realistic depictions. [The artist portrays] the … artillery soldier manning a 50. caliber machine gun. He has radio equipment, and is wearing [the full range of] pilot attire, including goggles, ear protection, a Mae West life jacket, and leather gloves. His facial expression is calm, collected, and determined. He does not appear frightened; he appears ready for the next engagement with the enemy. In the background, a Japanese Mitsubishi Zero fighter plane is crashing.
Evocative Meaning / Symbolism
Subtle variations of similar colors allow the viewer to see detail. The striations of light and dark brown [shining down on the soldier] show creases in his clothing . . . this similar coloring on his gloves indicates clenched hands, symbolizing the resolve to fight the enemy. Sawyers draws the viewer to the text of the poster by starkly contrasting the red, white, and black colors of the words with the subdued browns and yellows of the image. [The message] Sawyers [conveys] in her poster is a call to all American citizens to support the war effort. Sawyers [demonstrates] that the responsibilities of the soldiers and the citizens are intertwined; the success and livelihood of each depends on the fulfillment of responsibility by the other.
Ultimately, World War II was a war of [firm resolve and high-level production] . . . nations with the determination to stay the course, and the economy to produce the necessary goods, prevailed. The United States possessed the determination and capacity, but not the [will] - not without the advent of the modern poster. The artists and administrators who created and distributed the propaganda posters . . . helped to mold the will of the … public, as well as persuade everyone in the nation to contribute vast amounts of money to the war effort. Who is to say what the outcome of World War II would have been for America if the posters had not [been] distributed?

Summary of Medicine Woman Summary of Medicine Woman Reviews for Medicine Woman An Excerpt from Medicine Woman
In this New York Times bestseller, Lynn Andrews tells of her extraordinary journey into the wilderness where she learns firsthand that some things in life are more valuable to acquire as attributes for the spirit and soul than as mere material possessions
Lynn V. Andrews takes the reader with her as she goes on inward journeys with the help of the Sisterhood of the Shields, and relates the stories of others.
Join her as she is initiated into the Sisterhood and creates her own shield, which will show her the nature of her spiritual path (Spirit Woman). Follow her to the Yucatan, where the medicine wheel leads her, and she is faced with the terrifying reality of the butterfly tree (Jaguar Woman). Enter the Dreamtime with her, where she emerges in medieval England as Catherine, and encounters the Grandmother, who offers to show Andrews how to make her life one of goodness, power, adventure, and love (The Woman of Wyrrd).
Not all these stories describe the author's own spiritual experiences. Meet Sin Corazn, an initiate into the Sisterhood, whose husband abandons her. She nearly succumbs to her inner dark power and unleashes her rage on men and the Sisterhood (Dark Sister). Andrews also writes about the elder women of the Sisterhood: their loves, their lives, their losses (Tree of Dreams).
Andrews shows us how to channel our own spiritual and intellectual energy and balance the need for love with the desire for power (Love and Power). She takes the reader on numerous spiritual journeys that inevitably uplift.

Audits begin at Apple's Chinese supplier plants
- 14 February, 2012 04:42
Apple today said that auditors from a labor rights group have begun inspections at Chinese factories that manufacture its iPad and iPhone.
The audits were the first since Apple joined the Fair Labor Association (FLA) last month after acknowledging that aluminum dust was responsible for explosions at two of its Chinese suppliers last year that resulted in four deaths and injuries to another 77 workers.
Apple was the first technology company to join the FLA as a participating member, the organization said in mid-January.
The FLA investigations began Monday at Foxconn facilities in Shenzhen, China, a major center of electronics assembly in the southern part of the country that abuts Hong Kong.
"We believe that workers everywhere have the right to a safe and fair work environment, which is why we've asked the FLA to independently assess the performance of our largest suppliers," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, in a statement.
One of the two explosions occurred at a Foxconn plant in Chengdu, China, last May. The other took place at a Shanghai factory run by RiTeng Computer Accessory, a subsidiary of Pegatron, another Apple supplier, two months ago.
Chengdu is in southwest China.
In Apple's January 2012 report on worker safety, labor rights and environmental impact, Apple said it had audited all its suppliers that handled aluminum dust -- produced during milling and polishing of the iPad 2 and MacBook laptop cases -- and had required them to put new safety measures into place.
The one supplier that had not would remain shuttered until it met the new guidelines, Apple said in the report ( download PDF ).
According to Apple, the FLA team will interview thousands of workers, inspect manufacturing facilities and worker living quarters, and review suppliers' documentation.
The results of the first round of audits will be published on the FLA website next month, Apple promised, and additional investigations will target other major suppliers, including Pegatron and Quanta.
The latter, like Foxconn and Pegatron, is a Taiwanese company with extensive operations in the People's Republic of China. Quanta bills itself as the world's largest maker of notebooks, and builds Apple's MacBook laptops.
Apple has been criticized for the working conditions at some of its partners' plants, prompting online petitions calling for changes, including one at Change.org that has collected more than 200,000 signatures.

Minnesota synthetic drug case goes to the juryThe federal case against three defendants from northeastern Minnesota accused of selling synthetic drugs has gone to a jury.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The federal case against three defendants from northeastern Minnesota accused of selling synthetic drugs has gone to a jury.
Last Place on Earth owner Jim Carlson, his girlfriend Lava Haugen and his son, Joseph Gellerman, are charged with illegally selling banned drugs at Carlson's Duluth store. The jury deliberated an hour Wednesday before recessing for the night.
Federal Judge David Doty and attorneys discussed jury instructions Tuesday. The Duluth News Tribune says the judge has expressed frustration with prosecutors about the unusually long indictment. Doty calls the case overcomplicated and says it might be difficult for jurors to deal with all the charges.
Carlson is charged with 55 federal crimes. Haugen and Gellerman face four counts each. All three opted not to take the stand in their own defense.

SOS Ministries Gospel Tracts
We do not mail tracts to Christians, but we encourage you to print them from this website and take them to a printer or copy service. None have a copyright.
We try to give out tracts that explain the gospel clearly and fully. A high school student can understand them, yet they do not insult the intelligence of a college professor. The tracts tell a person why they must be saved, what they must do to be saved, and contain a prayer the person can pray to receive Christ. They also have our address and phone number and contain a coupon the reader can mail to receive more information about Jesus.
Another thing you will notice about our tracts is that they use the law, specifically the Ten Commandments, to show people why they need a Savior. Until a person sees himself as a lost sinner in need of a Savior, he will not appreciate what Christ has done for him.
Here are a few websites for tracts, Most are free: World Missionary Press ~ Fellowship Tract League ~ Living Waters

Pier 1 Subject of Pregnancy Discrimination Lawsuit
Posted on Thursday, April 17th, 2014 at 8:40 am
Pier 1 Imports, a national chain devoted to furniture and home décor, has become the source of a class-action lawsuit after allegedly failing to accommodate the needs of a pregnant employee. Kimberly Erin Caselman, a 31-year old employee at a San Jose Pier 1 store, has alleged that the company refused to allow her to refrain from lifting heavy items and climbing ladders, per her doctor's recommendations, and has forced her to go on unpaid medical leave which is set to expire months before her child is due.
Fortunately for Caselman, California law does not allow for discrimination against employees because of pregnancy. This includes failing to make reasonable accommodations for the needs of pregnant workers, something which Caselman's request clearly should have been considered, particularly in light of the fact that the store had previously granted the request for an 8 week period.
Individuals in other states, unfortunately, are not always able to receive these types of legal protections. Many states do not have specific laws protecting workers against pregnancy discrimination, and it is a sad but undeniable truth that women in these states may lose their jobs or otherwise face discriminatory treatment without any means to pursue justice.
Actos Makers Ordered to Pay $9 Billion in Damages
Posted on Wednesday, April 9th, 2014 at 2:14 pm
Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Eli Lilly and Co. have been ordered to pay a total of $9 billion in damages to users of the drug Actos after evidence linking its use to an increased risk of bladder cancer emerged. A Lafayette, Louisiana jury ordered Takeda to pay $6 billion in punitive damages and Eli Lilly to pay an additional $3 billion for the effects that the drug may have had on patients.
Actos is a medication used to treat Type 2 diabetes and was originally developed and distributed as a safer alternative to another medication used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, Avandia. However, more recent studies have found that the serious risks associated with Actos may make it more harmful than beneficial for patients.
According to some legal observers, the final amount of damages that Takeda and Eli Lilly will be required to pay are likely to be lower than the jury's $9 billion verdict, citing a Supreme Court precedent that limits the amount of punitive damages that can be imposed in cases relative to the amount of compensatory damages awarded. Nevertheless, the total damages awarded may still end up as among the largest ever assessed against a pharmaceutical company for intentional wrongdoing in U.S. history.
The Downside to Propylene
Posted on Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 at 9:08 am
Propylene, also known as propene or methylethylene, is an important organic compound used in many industries and products, including medical supplies, construction materials, and plastic manufacturing. It is considered a relatively safe environmental product because it can be re-used and recycled many times. One of its polymers, polypropylene, in particular is widely used in laboratory equipment, textiles, packaging and labeling, automotive parts, and reusable containers. It is typically used in such products as it is a durable polymer that can withstand degradation from a large number of chemical acids, bases and solvents.
Its high rate of use prompted the creation of propylene plants that would ensure the steady supply of the compound at predictable prices. Prior to the existence of propylene plants, the compound was largely a by-product of petroleum refining and ethylene processing. Despite its benefits, however, there are dangers inherent to working with propylene.
Because it is a volatile and flammable compound, it can be dangerous if not handled properly. Propylene is a gas at room temperature. This was the problem when an accidental tear in one of the propylene pipes at the Formosa Plastics plant in Port Comfort, Texas exposed the compound to the air. As the plant does not produce propylene, but rather uses it, it is kept in storage tanks. Normally stored as a liquid, the escaping substance turned into gas at it hit room temperatures, forming a deadly layer of flammable vapor. The resulting propylene explosion was triggered by a stray spark and burned for 5 days. Because of a flaw in the plant safety system, the pipeline could not be shut off. As a result of the explosion, some workers were badly burned.
Most of the time, such accidents can be avoided if due care and caution is used when handling propylene. According to Williams Kherker in Houston, TX, there is only one propylene plant in the US, also in Texas, but more plants are planned to be in production by 2015. These have a higher potential for explosion accidents because these plants have a capacity of 455,000 metric tons of propylene at the minimum. In order to avoid such explosions and serious accidents, plant managers and owners need to take the proper precautions and follow all necessary regulations.
Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against NSA, Obama Administration, Telecom Giants
Posted on Thursday, June 13th, 2013 at 5:15 pm
Following revelations that the NSA has been secretly tracking the phone and internet records of American citizens, former Justice Department prosecutor Larry Klayman has filed a class action suit against a wide range of different parties, alleging a violation of the three named litigants' basic constitutional rights. The suit seeks damages of $20 billion, as well as an injunction to end the program.
Named in the suit, in addition to the NSA, the Department of Justice, and Obama administration officials Eric Holder and Barack Obama himself, are nine companies who are alleged to have participated in the NSA's PRISM program, including AOL, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and Skype, as well as the CEOs of each of these companies.
All nine of the companies named in the suit deny knowledge of and involvement with the program.
Subaru Recalls over 5,000 Vehicles over Steering Concerns
Posted on Thursday, May 16th, 2013 at 8:29 pm
Subaru has announced that they will recall 5,379 vehicles from their 2013 Outback and Legacy lines because of concerns over a defect with the vehicles' steering. Specifically, the company is concerned that in some vehicles, two components in the steering shaft do not meet, resulting in drivers' losing the ability to steer their vehicles.
This defect was actually discovered in June of last year in an Indiana assembly plant. The company stopped selling the vehicles while they attempted to identify and address the defect, but earlier this year, they received a complaint from a Subaru owner that he was unable to steer his vehicle. The company is currently informing dealerships about the potential defect and the subsequent recall, and expects that dealerships will begin to notify owners within 30 days.
Subaru is the most recent auto manufacturers to issue a recall of their vehicles in recent weeks. Recently, Chrysler recalled nearly 500,000 Jeep models over concerns of a transmission defect. Sources within Subaru have said that they are not aware of any injuries resulting from this defect, and this voluntary recall is likely intended to help prevent any future injuries from occurring and avoid subsequent legal liability.

Class Action Lawsuit against Apple over Retina Displays
Posted on Friday, March 15th, 2013 at 3:48 pm
MacBook Pro owner Beau Hodges has filed a lawsuit in California federal court against Apple over complaints of ghosting in the computer's retina display. The case is expected to turn into a class action lawsuit against the company, as there have been numerous complaints about this problem since MacBook Pros with retina displays became available in the summer of 2012.
At the core of this lawsuit is a difference between MacBook Pros sold with panels made by LG, and other panels made by Samsung. The lawsuit claims that Apple was not forthright with consumers by not disclosing which computers came with which panels. As a result, some consumers who received the panels made by LG experienced problems with "ghosting," or an image being burned into the screen of the laptop and remaining once the image has been changed.
According to the lawsuit, Apple did nothing to help users avoid this problem, save publishing a support document about the issue, nor has it taken the LG-produced panels off the market.
State and Federal Marijuana Laws in Conflict
Posted on Monday, March 11th, 2013 at 5:25 pm
In the United States, the recent passage of laws legalizing the recreational sale and use of marijuana in the states of Washington and Colorado has highlighted the natural tension between state and federal legal authority. Marijuana has been illegal under federal law for decades, and most states have similarly criminalized the substance throughout this time. However, with the new laws, it is unclear what actions, if any, will be taken by federal authorities.
Some states have already dabbled with legalized marijuana for medical purposes, and in some instances, particularly in California, the federal government has ignored state prerogatives in these cases in favor of enforcing federal statutes. The new laws, however, represent a far greater challenge to federal authority than that posed by medical marijuana laws, calling into question whether the federal government will even be able to pursue this same strategy, or whether enforcement will necessarily become more enhanced or ignored altogether.
Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation's highest-ranking lawyer, has recently acknowledged the difficulty of this problem, and provided assurances that the Administration's position will be clarified relatively soon in the future.
Johnson & Johnson Must Pay $8.3 Million after Jury Verdict
Posted on Friday, March 8th, 2013 at 4:28 pm
Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to pay $8.3 million to a 65 year old man who claimed that the DePuy ASR hip implant he received was defective. This case was the first of over 10,000 lawsuits filed against Johnson & Johnson to be brought to court.
In the jury ruling, Johnson & Johnson was ordered to pay over $300,000 to cover the plaintiff's medical expenses, and another $8 million for pain and suffering resulting from the defective hip implant. Johnson & Johnson issued a recall of 93,000 implants back in 2010 after announcing that 12% of the devices failed after just five years.
Experts agree that the cost of resolving the over 10,000 suits against the company could cost Johnson & Johnson billions of dollars.
Chicago Tribune Settles Overtime Lawsuit
Posted on Friday, March 1st, 2013 at 3:59 pm
The Chicago Tribune, one of the largest newspapers in the United States, has recently agreed to settle a class action lawsuit filed by 46 reporters who worked for its Trib Local services over allegations of unpaid overtime wages. The settlement, which is reported to be in the amount of $660,000, will be distributed to employees based on the amount of work for which they were denied overtime payment.
The overtime lawsuit was filed by Carolyn Rusin, and in addition to her share of the settlement, she will also receive $10,000 for bringing the case and $2000 for her individual claim. A court hearing for final approval on the settlement is scheduled for June. Approval is expected. Individuals engaged in an overtime lawsuit may find themselves facing incredible difficulty, especially if they are going against a large company with extensive legal resources. In cases like this, the assistance of an overtime lawyer is almost always necessary to give plaintiffs a shot at securing the verdit they want.
Legal Aid Funding Shortfalls
Posted on Wednesday, February 27th, 2013 at 8:32 am
Indigent residents of states across the U.S. are facing a loss of the legal assistance they need as a result of funding shortfalls at both the state and federal level. While constitutional guarantees of access to criminal defense representation for criminal defendants remains an important bulwark of protection for criminal suspects accused of committing a crime, those in other situations who may require legal assistance but who cannot afford an attorney on their own are now facing the possibility that they will not be able to obtain representation.
In Texas, for instance, where nearly six million of the state's residents have incomes which would qualify them for legal aid in normal circumstances, some individuals have been turned away because of shortfalls in the state's fund for legal aid. According to some estimates, the state only has enough resources to provide legal assistance to 100,000 individuals in the year.
The problem is part of a national trend, with states struggling to balance their budgets being forced to make tough spending decisions and, in many cases, having to reduce funding for legal aid services. On the national level, the Legal Services Corporation, the federal organization which provides much of the funding for legal aid agencies across the country, has seen its own budget reduced by Congress. As a result, the availability of lawyers for indigent citizens has been dramatically reduced in scope.

Shell Egg Grading and Certification
Grading and USDA Quality Grade Standards
Grading provides a standardized means of describing the marketability of a particular food product. Through the application of uniform grade standards, shell eggs can be classified according to a range of quality characteristics. Buyers, sellers, and consumers alike can communicate about these characteristics through a common language.
USDA has developed
quality grade standards
for shell eggs. The standards define and measure quality in terms of the appearance and condition of the shell as well as the interior quality of the yolk and albumen (white). The final quality rating (AA, A, or B) is based on the factor with the lowest rating.
In order for shell eggs to be eligible for an official USDA grade designation, they must be graded by a plant grader and then certified by a USDA grader. Officially graded shell eggs that pass this examination and evaluation process are eligible for the grade shield and may be identified as USDA Grade AA, A, or B. Grading services are provided in accordance with
Federal egg grading regulations.
USDA has also developed official weight (size) classes for shell eggs. There are six U.S. weight classes for the consumer grades of shell eggs--Jumbo, Extra Large, Large, Medium, Small, and Peewee. The classes define the minimum net weight per dozen eggs. Graders check shell egg weights during the grading process to ensure their accuracy.

Devon Carney
Artistic Director, Kansas City Ballet
Devon Carney was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he began his dance training with Harvey Hysell. He later joined the New Orleans Ballet, where he danced his first leading roles. In 1978, Mr. Carney was invited to join Boston Ballet. While a corps de ballet member, Mr. Carney was chosen by Choo San Goh to dance the title role of Romeo in Goh's first and only full-length ballet, Romeo and Juliet. Mr. Carney was promoted to principal in 1986.
During his 21 year professional dance career, Mr. Carney was able to perform many leading roles in well-known classical ballets such as Giselle, Swan Lake, Don Quixote, The Sleeping Beauty and Raymonda Act III. Mr. Carney had the opportunity also to perform leading roles in 20th century classical works such as John Cranko's Onegin and Taming of the Shrew, Ben Stevenson's Cinderella, Bruce Wells' A Midsummer Night's Dream, Harald Lander's Etudes, and Anthony Tudor's Lilac Garden.
He also was able to dance roles choreographed by cutting-edge choreographers. These roles include Maurice Bejart's Le Sacre du Printemps, Paul Taylor's Company B, Merce Cunningham's Breakers, Sir Frederick Ashton's Monotones 1, Elisa Monte's VII for VIII, Mark Morris' Mort Subite, Susan Marshall's Overture, and Daniel Pelzig's Nine Lives: Songs of Lyle Lovett. His George Balanchine repertoire includes principal roles in Square Dance, Serenade, Agon, Who Cares?, Allegro Brillante, Mozartiana, Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 2, Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux, Rubies, La Sonnambula, The Four Temperaments, and Theme and Variations.
Mr. Carney has toured extensively throughout Europe, the United States, Mexico and Asia with such greats as Rudolph Nureyev, Fernando Bujones and Cynthia Gregory. In 1994, Mr. Carney was the non-competing partner of the Senior Division Bronze Medalist at the Jackson International Ballet Competition.
Mr. Carney served as Ballet Master for Boston Ballet from 1998 to 2003. During this time he worked closely with choreographers Ben Stevenson, Christopher Wheeldon, Michael Corder, Michael Pink and Bruce Wells. Furthermore, he has worked very closely with Anna-Marie Holmes in the staging of several of her world renowned productions of the great classics of ballet including Le Corsaire, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, La Bayadere and Giselle.
Mr. Carney was appointed Artistic Director of Boston Ballet Summer Dance Program in 1994 and served in this capacity for nine years. Teaching credits include Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, Arizona Ballet Summer Program, Austin Ballet, Boston Ballet, BalletMet, Cincinnati Ballet, Guangzhou Ballet of China, Hartford Ballet, Houston Ballet Summer Program, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, University of North Carolina School for the Arts, Texas Christian University, Boston Conservatory, Butler University, University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music Dance Department and various regional ballet companies and schools across the United States and Europe. He also has served as a judge on the juries of the 2002 Youth America Grand Prix Ballet Competition finals in New York City and the 2005 and 2006 American Ballet Competition.
In addition, his choreographic endeavors include the ballets Opus II and Interlude for Boston Ballet, Cascades and Daystar for Boston Ballet II. Through the years, he choreographed Symphony #1, Awakenings and Wonderful Landfor the Boston Ballet Summer Dance Program, as well as staged several classical ballet excerpts. He choreographed a work for BalletMet in August of 2007 titled Speaking In Tongues. He also has worked very closely with the Cincinnati Opera for the past six seasons choreographing works in Aida, Un Ballo in Maschera, Lucie de Lammermoor, Die Meistersinger, La Traviata and many others. In addition, Mr. Carney has choreographed several ballets for Cincinnati Ballet including U Too?, Just You and Me, Another Time Another Space, Blue Rondo and in September of 2007 Convergent Sight. Also, in February of 2006, Mr. Carney choreographed Acts 2 and 4 of the full-length Swan Lakefor Cincinnati Ballet. Then, in November of 2006, he choreographed his full-length version of Giselle for Cincinnati Ballet to rave reviews. Also, he presented his full-length world premiere of Dracula in October of 2008 and then subsequently choreographed his world premiere of World Citizen in March of 2009 with a review stating, "Carney's work is not only well crafted but moody and intense with a palpable sense of loneliness. His work grows more confident and more skillful with every piece he creates" (David Lyman, Cincinnati Enquirer).
Mr. Carney was most recently the Associate Artistic Director of Cincinnati Ballet and had been with the Cincinnati Ballet since 2003. He had the opportunity to work closely with choreographers such as Donald Byrd, Lynn Taylor Corbett, Jorma Elo, Victor Kabanieav, Trey McIntyre, Donald McKayle, Darrell Grand Moultrie, Kirk Peterson, Viktor Plotnikov and many others during this time.
He recently created a new version of the full-length version of the world renowned Sleeping Beauty to great critical acclaim. In addition he choreographed in the spring of 2011 a world premiere, Thrive On Here, set to the live music of the nationally known hit group Over the Rhine. In the summer of 2011 Mr. Carney again had the opportunity to choreograph for the Cincinnati Opera for the recently written opera A Flowering Tree by John Adams. In the Spring of 2012 he choreographed a world premiere version of the Hans Christian Anderson story of The Steadfast Tin Soldier. In the spring of 2013 he had the opportunity to choreograph two works back to back for Cincinnati Ballet. The first was Concerto #4 in March of 2013. The second, which closed the 2012–2013 season, was Boot It Up! This was performed with the live musical accompaniment of rock-and-roll legend Peter Frampton and his entire band and hailed as a tremendous high point in the Cincinnati performing arts scene for the season.
Mr. Carney has been appointed Artistic Director of Kansas City Ballet starting with the 2013–2014 season.

Art History and the Moving Image
2004 - 2005
Since Aby Warburg wrote his doctoral dissertation on the appearance of movement in Botticelli's paintings, art historians have been engaged with the elusive relationship between actual motion and the resources the visual arts have to represent, to suggest, or to record motion. This workshop addressed a number of themes, including how painters and sculptors from antiquity through the baroque create the illusion of movement in a fixed image; how artists and historians have understood serial images, from the Column of Trajan through the art of comic books; and how depicted movement is related to narrative. Other conversations explored how architectural history is increasingly interested in movement and, from another point of view, how filmmakers and video artists have experimented in setting in motion still tableaux, as well as how recent work in film studies and art history has focused on how art and cinema are intimately related.
Participants included Tom Gunning (University of Chicago), Joan Jonas (artist and Getty Visiting Scholar), David Joselit (Yale University), Elizabeth Kotz (University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and Getty Postdoctoral Fellow), Thomas Levin (Princeton University and Getty Scholar), Davide Stimilli (University of Colorado, Boulder, and Clark Fellow), Eve Sussman (artist), Jonathan Unglaub (Brandeis University and Clark Fellow), Susanne von Falkenhausen (Humboldt-University, Berlin, and Clark Fellow), and Jonathan Weinberg (independent scholar and artist, and Clark Fellow).

Although there is no model name on the underside of the car it is undoubtedly the Ferguson P99 4WD car. Although the shade of blue is too light for that used on Rob Walker cars, it does have the white hoop on the nose and Moss's race number "7". The model was produced by Marx Toys Hong Kong, and until I came across this I was not aware that any models were made of the Ferguson P99 in period. Or, does anyone know of another manufacturer modelling the car?
For a toy I think this is a very passable model of the Ferguson. Unfortunately one wing mirror is missing and the other one has been fixed facing the wrong way! Incidentally, I have another Marx racing car, a Cooper Climax, which also has mirrors facing the wrong way which suggests quality control on the Marx production line wasn't that stringent.

I have just won this on ebay. An attractive and fairly accurate model of a Cooper Climax (T51 ?). It was made by ELM Toys (Empire Made). For some time models manufactured in plastic have been something of the poor relation in the toy/model collecting world, but rather unfairly I think. I have come across some very good plastic models of racing cars which were made in the 50s/60s. I suppose it does depends on whether you are a stickler for authenticity, or, like me, are combining an interest in toys and motor sport. The box also gives it a nice period flavour.

Just a word of warning to collectors who frequent E-bay - yesterday it was not possible to obtain the sub-section "Motor Sport" when looking for books in the "Sports" section. Browsers were left to trawl through books about every sport in the universe. Today there are some sub-sections, but nothing for motor sport (I attempted to find it through "outdoor activities" like an idiot).
So there you have it - yet again the site organisers have b***ered up the system. Well, they have for me, because I'm an incompetent when it comes to IT. Does anyone know how to access the books on our favourite subject?
Update - my incompetency knows no bounds. I've just spotted tiny letters "see all" above the sub-sections. So I was wrong, but I still don't forgive E=bay. Why do they make it so hard? It's barely visible to those with poor eyesight.

'Stache Studs1 of 20

Since 2003, November has also been known as Movember, a month of mustache-growing to raise awareness (and moola) for men's heath issues. These 19 guys—sporting 'staches that would make Tom Selleck jealous—are loyal to the cause. Read on to find out what mo-tivates them and how you can show your support.
Kyle, 272 of 20
"While mustachioed, I feel 70 percent man and 30 percent creepy neighbor that you never talk to but always see wandering around the neighborhood. But I also feel 100 percent proud to help raise funds for prostate and testicular cancer research."

"I am not a proud man, except when it comes to my mustache. I can grow one, so it makes me feel manly, yet dirty all at the same time."
Gary, 304 of 20
"I think my 'stache looks great, and it makes me feel extra virile and powerful. However, I feel like others might think I am an undercover cop, like Jason Patric in the movie Narc, but I am fine with that."
Calvin, 255 of 20
"My mustache is phenomenal. Period. It brings people joy and laughter through my creepy growing stage, but then actually looks damn fine once it grows in."
Matt, 316 of 20
"I have the blondest mustache ever, so you can only see it in the right light, but I am proud of it nonetheless and I believe in everything the mo' represents!"
Chris, 287 of 20
"I hope that my mustache will bring forth my inner gentleman. I have been blessed with no major health issues in my immediate family, but have some close friends who have gone through some troubled times. I hope that any amount of awareness will encourage men to take care of themselves inside and out."
Andrew, 368 of 20
"I wear my mustache like a proud badge. This mo' starts conversations every day in Movember to find a cure to testicular and prostate cancer. My father always had a mustache and when I proudly wear my 'stache, it connects me to his legacy—he passed away from cancer in 2001."
Ron, 489 of 20
"My mo'? Makes me look like kind of a big deal. Like somebody they'd make two movies about."
Matt, 2710 of 20
"My mustache makes me feel like I just dueled with Billy the Kidd in the Wild West."
Colin, 3011 of 20
"The only time I have ever sported a mustache is during November. I have to say, I really enjoy showing it off like a badge of honor."
Scott, 2712 of 20
"To me, the mustache represents the resurgence of lost arts. At one time in history, a man without facial hair was merely a boy. While no longer true, the mustache has come to mean both urbane connoisseurship and rugged individuality."
Justin, 2513 of 20
"My mustache, though indeed strikingly well groomed and exceedingly good-looking, is most importantly a powerful conduit for candid conversations on men's health."
Chris, 3414 of 20
"Come Nov. 17, 2013, I will be 16 years removed from testicular cancer. My upper lip will never hit puberty so I have the lamest mo' west of the Mississippi—please give so my mo' can grow!"
Stephen, 2515 of 20
"Last year was my first round of Movember and the first time I had let my mustache really grow. I loved it! I got a good number of stares and questions but it was great."
Surya, 3116 of 20
"I like having a 'stache—though not enough to keep it year round—and it's an easy way to raise money for a good cause. The only downside is that I constantly feel like I might be randomly selected for enhanced screenings."
Dave, 2917 of 20
"My mustache this year is going to be more of a trophy than anything else: I ran the New York City Marathon on Movember 3, as a part of the Movember Athletic Company. Why just talk about men's health when I can spend 26 miles making the point!"
Lee, 3218 of 20
"As this is my fifth Movember, I normally go through a three-phase cycle with my mo' over the course of the month. The first few days I'm surprised to see so little facial hair. (I normally have a goatee or full beard so I'm one of the weirdos for whom Movember participation actually means more shaving.) By week two, my mo' grows in and I get used to my own reflection and my confidence grows. By the end of the month, my mo' and I are unstoppable."
Kevin, 3219 of 20
"My life-long friend John Paul (pictured, left) and I formed a Movember team this year called The Amazingly Misplaced Eyebrows. I think I look quite dashing in my mo'. My friends? Not so much."
Alejandro, 2820 of 20
"My Mo makes me feel like a man's man, like Burt Reynolds or Chuck Norris. It gives me great power and I want to use it to spread the message that' men's health is extremely important."
