Baden Powell called Scouting a "Game with a Purpose". The idea in that thought is that boys, young men, well heck.. even us older men, like to play games. There is something about the boy that moves him toward playing, competing, having fun.
We need to remember this as we go through our process's of Scoutmastership. The most important question I ask in a Scoutmaster conference is are you having fun?
When we play we play for enjoyment, for a challenge, we play to have fun. Now everyone's view of fun will be different, but the bottom line is when we are having fun, we are enjoying were we are.
When we ask a Scout if he is having fun, the next question is why? Out of the mouths of young men you will get a fair and honest answer. Then you need to process that answer, if the answer is no.. I am not having fun and he tells you an honest "Why", and you are hearing it over and over from a good sample of the Scouts in the unit, it may be time for change.
The PLC is your guide to fun. Provide tools, resources, and the know how, and let them put together a fun plan that will meet both the Aims of Scouting and keep the Scouts engaged.
When we challenge Scouts, allow them to push some of their physical limits, give them the opportunity to lead and make decisions, and have fun with their friends, we have healthy units.
When we play the game, our Scouts are happy and are having fun.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Howdy, things have been crazy lately.
Okay, before the review, two things...
Adam was being charitable in his Titaniums review.
Is the Costco set going to be recolors? And, what does a Costco membership cost?
Here are several short reviews of recent acquisitions.
Gigalonian Minicon team
various Legends of Cybertron
Optimus Prime
This toy is pretty well impossible to review. The quality control problems are many, varied, and frequent. Anything I say could easily be contradicted by somebody with another copy of the toy. In general, this is a great idea, completely ruined by inconsistent execution. If you are feeling brave, your copy of Menasor is likely to have plastic tolerance problems with the hips, the chest, and with the drill mechanism in the right arm. These problems seem to manifest if exclusive combinations. For example, I have not heard any accounts of Menasor toys with both the hip and chest problems. But, I have not heard of any copies that lack both. In theory, one could buy multiple copies, and swap parts around, but that is a great deal of effort for what is supposed to be a hobby.
Grade: n/a If you pick one up, be wary.
Woohoo! The X-Planet faction is complete. And, this is one more US exclusive mold that I have! Huzzah. This toy definitely appeals more that I initially thought it would. If one can seperate this toy from the context it is associated with (a truly awful set of convention exclusive comics), it is not half bad. The transform is similar enough to the Sideways toy (another X-Planet faction member) to be evocative, but different enough to be redundant. The tank is evocative of something one might see in Games Workshop (such as an Eldar tank), and the bot form displays well, albeit with somewhat odd proportions.
Grade: B Do not go crazy looking for this toy, but pick one up if you see it.
Legends of Cybertron toys:
These things have turned up at KMart. While the early runs of the line are still difficult to find (owing to lousy distribution), the current toys are better distributed. The most notable of the several I have is Thundercracker, which is arguably better than the full-sized version. Starscream (recolored as Sunstorm) is also worth a look. The worst is Redalert, which feels cheap, even for the price-point.
Grade: varies Do not go nuts looking for these. Grab Thundercracker if you find one. Buy the rest as your fancy warrants.
Gigalonian Minicon team:
Yeeehaw! More exclusive US molds, and one step closer to finishing the Gigalonian faction. All told, this is not a bad set. As with all of the Minicon 3-packs, the set has a unified gimmick. In this case, the gimmick is rooted in aesthetics, with each of the Minicons transforming into small versions of what would normally be large vehicles, a sub, a transport plane, and a crane. There is also a land/sea/air theme here. The best is the crane, which is designed around a concept that makes some larger toys look primitive by comparison. As with the first set of Cybertron Minicons (the soon to be recolored Recon Team), choosing the worst is difficult as all 3 pieces in the set are excellent.
Grade: A Stuff like this justifies the hobby.
Oddly, I found these things derned cheap. For whatever reason (likely owing to a store remodel gone awry) I found the larger Megatron and Optimus toys marked for $5 each, and the smaller toys marked for $15. (The prices and product codes seem to have been transposed in one of the inventory control systems.) I tried to inform a clerk of this (as the guy tried to help me find Gigalonian Minicons.), and he simply checked his scanner for the price. (This makes no sense, as his scanner is rooted into the same system that produced the incorrect pricing in the first place.......) So, after attempting to be moral, I still wound up with two cheap Titaniums figures, and payed less for both than either should have cost alone.
And, believe you me, did I ger ripped off. While poor quality control may play a role here, many of the problems seem rooted in the basic design of the toys. They break while being transformed. They break while being fiddled with. They even break while being removed from the packaging. (Megatron came apart like a shoddily connected merge-team.) The packaging is not just tedious to open, is is actually difficult, with the twist ties actually cutting into one's fingers while being opened. What follows is a review of the two that I got. But, the grade is for the line thus far.
Grade: F Avoid this line. Some good ideas, but poorly planned and badly executed.
As this toy is based on the character as shown in "The War Within", I really wanted to like this toy. But, a combination of flimsy jointes, and lost engineering opportunities conspire to reduce what could have been a great toy to the level of boot-leg. One of the more troublesome examples of this is the fact that the (plastic) hands have sloppier molding than some toys that are 20 years old. The transform is straight forward, but hindered by the construction of the toy.
One bright spot is the character profile on the back. The character stats are not a straight line of "10s", which presumably reflects Prime's status as a novice during "The War Within" arc.
This is possibly the worst Transformer I have ever purchased. Even Generation 1 Ironhide stayed together, aside from where parts where made to detach. Cybertron Backstop, while failing in terms of aesthetics, is a good sturdy toy. Megatron's right arm does not even stay attached when the toy is being transformed. If the tank form is jostled, the arm (half of the turret) falls out. The only thing to say about this toy that is now wholly negative is that it is an odd evocation of 2 obscure arcs. The tank form is a nod to Marvel''s "Generation 2" arc, and the write-up on the back references the Dreamwave cross-over from '03. (Never mind that the '03 story was terrible.)
-taking some comfort in the fact that the Gigalonian Minicons were good.

TUPELO – He's My Brother She's My Sister is from Los Angeles – if you need confirmation, listen to vocalist Rob Kolar's sun-soaked California accent – but the band's music could be from anywhere, even from the South.
HMBSMS's sound amalgamation has been described as "glam folk," "psych-acoustic" and "vaudville-y."
"We always grew up listening to a lot of old rock 'n' roll, like Elvis, and my sister has always been a fan of old country and folk music, so there's definitely a little bit of that," Kolar said in a phone interview with the Journal. "The first tour was through Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi. Our first exposure to touring America, it really influenced our sound. It really inspired us to write songs in that vein."
The band is Kolar and his sister, Rachel, upright bass player Oliver Newell and slide guitarist Aaron Robinson, and tap dancer and drummer Lauren Brown, who tap dances on a drum while playing the drums throughout the band's live shows.
"She is very expressive tap dancing on the drums while playing the drums with her hands. She's doing something almost superhuman to an extent, and people get excited. It's almost like a circus act," Kolar said.
HMBSMS released an album, "Nobody Dances In This Town," in October, so the group's been on the road promoting the record.
"We like to encourage people to come to our shows and bring their own energy," he said. "Come ready to dance and ready to let loose and sing. We like for this show to be as much about our audience as it is about us."
Singer-songwriter Shakey Graves and folk band Paper Bird, who recently toured with The Lumineers, will open the show.
"It's an all-around good show," Kolar said. "We like that the bands are from different parts of the country. Paper Bird is from Colorado; they're more of a mountain band, and Shakey Graves is from Austin, Texas, representing the South. We're all friends."
HMBSMS has been gaining notoriety with its joyful music and energetic live shows, but Kolar said there's more work ahead.
"We're still hungry and striving for bigger things," he said, "but we're happy to be on this tour and happy to be playing Tupelo for the first time."

Any way my real question is this. Lets say I want to implement a deferred shading renderer that stores a material ID in the gbuffer and applies different BDRFs based on that ID. What kind of performance difference, if any, would I likely see implementing it in these ways:
switch(matID) { case 0: return BlinnPhongBRDF(NdotL, NdotE); break; case 1: return AnisotropicBRDF(NdotL, NdotE); break ... }
interface BRDF { float4 CalculateLighting(float NdotL, float NdotE); }; ... return BRDFArray[matID].CalculateLighting(NdotL, NdotE);

The Ronnewinkel surname comes to me via my grandmother, Evelyn Elvina Hauer (Mrs. R. P. Kerr). Her great-great grandmother was:
- [Maria?] Catharina Ronnewinkel, who married Mathias Wigger. She was probably born before or about 1790. The detail above is from the 1829 marriage record of their 19-year-old daughter Maria Elisabeth Wigger. Catharina and Mathias were my fourth great-grandparents.

Give me Sammy Watkins all day. I also love Colt Lyerla
Wouldn't mind at all
Trade up.
I want this kid to be a Dolphin. Hopefully he'll slip a little as he hasn't been making too much noise at USC this year. I think he could be a starvin' Marvin Harrison type player in this league.
Too many holes to go WR especially after giving up big deals to Wallace, Hartline, and Gibson. And with Matthews emerging. Unless we trade one of those guys I dont see it happening.
However I do agree Lee is a stud. And he would be a perfect fit for this O...very smooth. He would be an upgrade. As for the playmaker side on O, Id like a legitimate threat out of the backfield and a big RZ win option..I think Matthews has potential in that role but he hasnt been given many chances.
Sammy Watkins > Marqise Lee

It's that time of the year again, when we talk about Troop budgets, recharter, and PLC meetings to execute another great year of Scouting.
The other night at our Troop's committee meeting we looked deep into our budget to see where we could save the Scouts some money. The discussion led to us never willing to compromise our program because of money. If we need it, we will find a way to get it.
It was then that I heard a parent say that some of the boy's "Can't" come up with that kind of money. I reminded them that a Scout is Thrifty and that the money is there.. they need to go get it. Any Scout that fails to participate in Candy sales, Pop corn sales, and Wreath sales, should never complain about not having money. We have Scouts in the Troop that go out every year and sell enough popcorn to pay their way, if one can.. they all can.
I refuse to buy into the idea that "Times are tough" and so there are no resources out there. BULL. We do not live in the most wealthy community.. and still retail spending is up 20% from last year. Unemployment is down significantly, and yes there are other Scouts that get it done.
So it's a matter of "Can't or Won't".
I never allow a Scout to say they "Can't" do something. They CAN DO anything they want to.. they need to try and they need to put their minds in a condition that never allows them to give up. If one person says no to Popcorn, then keep asking the next 10 people that come by.
"Can't" is not acceptable. In the world we live in you can do what ever you set you mind to. Failing yourself when you say "I Can't" becomes habitual.
Parents that tell their kids that they "Can't" do a certain thing are not helping. I have seen to many parents that will not let their kids try. No matter the condition, "Can't" is unacceptable.
I have a few autistic Scouts in my Troop. They CAN do anything they want to. The sky is the limit.. NOT Autism.
When they try and succeed.. they win and that builds confidence in them.
So when I hear a Scout or the Parent of a Scout say that they can't afford something, I have to ask.. "Can't or Won't". There are too many ways for a Scouts to pay his way through Scouting.
Mowing Lawns, Raking leaves, Shoveling Snow, selling Popcorn, Wreaths, or what ever your Troop does, Baby sitting, collecting cans and scrap metal, walking dogs, painting fences, the list goes on and on… and by the way.. this list is a list of some of the things that Scouts in my Troop do to pay their way.
So you Can't or you Won't… which is it?
Henry Ford once said, "whether you believe you can or you can't, you are right!"
Have a Great Scouting Day!

The EU e-privacy directive, commonly known as "the cookie law" has come into full effect after a year long lead-in period.
Market researchers doing online research in Europe or simply operating a website targeted at clients in Europe need to understand and implement new EU rules on cookies if they have not already done so.
The deadline for EU Member States to implement the EU e-privacy directive, notably known as 'the cookie law', passed one year ago and regulators around Europe are now beginning to loudly warn companies that active enforcement, including fines, will become effective very soon after the one year landmark (26 May). ESOMAR will also soon issue its own guidance to help get market researchers started.
The e-privacy directive regulates the storing of information, or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user. This therefore covers any research cookies or other device which store information for example about a user's preferences on a particular website, or track a panel participant's visits to different pages of a website using cookies. From now on, a user's consent will be required to store or access this information on a user's computer, laptop or mobile and this consent is valid only if the user has been provided with clear and comprehensive information about the purposes of the data processing.
The UK data protection regulator (the ICO) for example will start actively implementing from the end of May and it has been proactive in developing guidance as the regulatory carrot for companies. However, the regulatory stick will be applied to those companies who ignore the new rules or refuse to comply. It has encouraged the business sector such as the ICC's UK chapter to develop guidance that helps companies to improve their communications about how they use cookies. While the ICC guidance cannot be considered full implementation of the new law's requirements, it will allow companies more credit with the regulator than if they would have done nothing – the ICO has made itself plain: doing nothing is not an option.
The French data protection authority – the CNIL as well as the Spanish telecoms authority – CMT - have also issued new guidance in the past month. The implementation will vary from country to country. For example, web analytics companies will need to look carefully at differing guidance in France and the UK. E.g. in France, a link to cookie information should be provided on the main page of the website and further information about analytic cookies should be displayed, for instance in the T&Cs, but publishers cannot use analytic information to track users across multiple websites.
ESOMAR will soon issue its own general guidance which has been drafted in consultation with experts from the top global companies in order to familiarise companies with some of the main terms and get them started on the road to compliance. While ESOMAR cannot provide a full guide to implementation at the international level due to differing national rules, it provides an introduction to the requirements of the new cookies law together with guidance on what would be acceptable to comply with ICC/ESOMAR Code and guidelines obligations and where to go to seek full compliance. It will also recommend that research companies conduct a full cookie audit with helpful tips on how to practically execute this. The ESOMAR guidance will be available in the next month.

Architect Brian Trubovich spent a lifetime in awe of this site before he got the chance to design and build his own unique home here.
Brian grew up three doors along from here and his earliest memories are truly sweet, thanks to the elderly woman whose back garden was the land on which this house now stands.
"When I was 5 years old I used to wander over here and she'd feed me lollies," he recalls. "Twenty-eight years later, when she was 90 and moving into a rest home, she phoned and said she wanted us to buy the house because she knew how much I liked it."
Brian and his wife, Jane Firmstone, bought that villa that same year, in 1973. Brian built a 10m kauri boat in that backyard before they crossleased the property to build this house, which now has its own title.
"Every architect likes to build at least one house for themselves in their lifetime," he explains. Notwithstanding the difficulties that architects talk about when designing their own homes without a client brief as such, Brian had clear ideas of what he wanted to achieve - "passive solar, permanence and low maintenance".
He explains: "There is a little bit of my Dalmatian heritage and the New Zealand touch in the corrugated iron roof. Someone once called it 'the castle with the corrugated iron roof'."
Children love it here, especially the spiral staircase that runs up through the middle floor to the turret they call the "the secret squirrel place". He says, "I designed this place for children because I'm one myself, really."
Beneath its intriguing rooflines and within its concrete-filled concrete block walls, this home showcases Brian's aesthetic and practical appreciation of demolition timber and fixtures, glass and unadorned concrete.
The spine of the spiral staircase and the kitchen bench are solid concrete. The middle floor is flat slab concrete that was hoisted into place by a crane. The stairs are jarrah, as are the beams in the lounge and the dining table that was built on-site. The kitchen cabinetry and open shelving is also jarrah. The cedar bi-fold windows open out beyond their rimu frames to connect the kitchen with the landscaped back garden and adjoining terracotta-paved courtyard.
Upstairs, French doors open up the double bedrooms to decks. In the roof space and the pitched Douglas fir ceiling, Brian's architectural practice office boasts expansive urban and harbour views.
The mirrored wall on the mezzanine mid-floor fills the centre of the house with natural light. "We get the sun everywhere," says Jane. The double height of the downstairs dining area makes the contrast within the black, tiled kitchen all the more dramatic beneath its concrete ceiling.
One of Jane's favourite rooms is the multi-level upstairs bathroom with jarrah-trimmed steps. Another favourite spot is the dining room bay window for its privacy. A tall slim window on the opposite wall offers a tantalising snapshot of the front of the professionally landscaped gardens.
The moat around the turret beside the 100-year-old Phoenix palm, which their elderly neighbour planted on her wedding day, are dramatic points of interest.
That front palm and a large, aged pepper tree that has long since died were the two trees between which Brian designed this house and the garage, with its upstairs "sports bar", unfolding on his drawing board.
Now, 27 years on, he has his sights set "out west" for another challenge.

f you ditched the vest then what do you carry all that stuff in?
This thing loaded is about the same weight as my old vest unloaded. I bought it from WiBags.com -- found them at an outdoor show many years ago. Yeah, it's a purse, but it does the trick. I carry that across my right shoulder and then carry a musette bag across my left shoulder when I've got the decoys. If I have to drop gear and crawl, or just sit down quietly, both this bag and the musette bag have buckles that allow for a quick release.
What I like: $12 for the sling bag
weight-- it's very light
It's easy to shed
It has a flap that folds open and gives me a nice clean surface to lay out my calls
I can take it in the rain and nothing gets wet.
I also carry a home made copy of a musette bag, a war surplus canvas bag I had for years before it rotted and gave out. It is a design that is meant to be either a shoulder bag or a small backpack. I finally decided that in 20 years I had never once worn it as a pack, so when I copied it, I just left the extra hardware off and did it as a shoulder bag. I don't have pictures of mine, but here is a pic of it's inspiration:
I had some camo fabric laying around, and I ran it up on my sewing machine. Midwest Turkey Call Supply has a decoy bag that is very similar. Mine has two compartments. I fill one with the decoys and stakes and then there is an inner pocket for my lunch, a book, and anything else I want to bring along. Some days it's the rain suit. Some days its a bigger blind. The whole point of the M1936 Musette Bag was to have something for a GI to carry miscellaneous stuff-- extra provisions, extra ammo, etc. That's exactly what I used it for.

Actress Ruth Wilson has had a meteoric rise to fame since first treading the boards of the New Theatre as a University of Nottingham History student in 2003.
Widely regarded as one of the UK's hottest young talents Ruth now has a CV which is the envy of many more established actors.
She cut her teeth on starring roles in several productions while at the University between 2000-03, including Ruffian on the Stair, The Crucible and Dangerous Liasons.
It was these experiences which confirmed her interest in acting. A place at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art followed and auditions for anything and everything.
Ruth only had one professional credit to her name – in C5's Suburban Shootout – before she was chosen to play the lead role of Jane Eyre in the BBC mini-series adaptation of the Charlotte Bronte novel. Ruth's peformance earned her four nominations for Best Actress awards in 2007, from the Broadcasting Press Guild, BAFTA television awards, satellite awards and the 2008 Golden Globes. She also came second in a BBC viewers poll for Best Actress of 2006.
She went on to star alongside Dame Maggie Smith and David Walliams in Stephen Poliakoff's Capturing Mary on television and then appeared in Gorky's Philistines, playing Tanya, at the National Theatre until August 2007 when she learned to play the piano for the role.
In June 2007 Ruth also won a Special Excellence Award in the first ever University of Nottingham Alumni Laureate Awards.
She was presented with her award by the Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Colin Campbell.

I took this one reasonably early in the morning hoping to catch the reflection however I hadn't appreciated the problem with the dynamic range between the light sky/mountains and the shadows and mist on the water. I also screwed up a the focus a bit as I think you will be able to see on a couple of images. Patricia Lake is just a few minutes from the Jasper townsite and tucked in close to Pyramid Mountain. Itook a second one immediately after this with a bit different focus and exposure but the fog was starting to lift so I havn't decided if I'll post it as yet.

Ingenuity & Independent Research by RIC Graduating Honors Students
Michael Baribault '14
Bacteria-infested marshes, ritualistic religious practices and candy bar marketing were among the investigations made by RIC honors students in fulfillment of their departmental honors projects.
At an April 28th poster session, 25 students graduating with honors, as well as graduating members of Sigma Xi (the Scientific Research Society), presented their independent research projects, while viewers had an opportunity to learn from and support their work.
Sara Moore '14
Biologist Sara Moore's two-year scientific study, directed by Assistant Professor of Biology Breea Govenar, was to determine if pollutants in Narragansett Bay's saltwater marshes increased greenhouse-gas-producing bacteria.
"Bacteria use nitrogen as a food source and feed on the nitrogen in dead, decomposing plants," Moore explained. "Nitrogen-loaded pollutants, like sewage and fertilizer, are constantly being flushed by the rivers into the marshes. I wanted to know if the additional nitrogen from human activity increased the type of bacteria that release greenhouse gases."
Moore collected mussel specimens (where over 600 types of bacteria grow) from the Warwick marsh at the northern portion of Narragansett Bay and from the Jamestown marsh in the southerly portion of the Bay. After many field excursions, she discovered no increase in greenhouse-gas-producing bacteria, but she did find that mussel density increased with the increase in nitrogen. "Mussels in the more heavily polluted marsh in Warwick clustered together more," she said.
Moore is taking her interest in biology to a research lab in Boston to study glaucoma, upon graduation. She said her classes and research at RIC have prepared her for this next step and that she intends to go on to medical school to conduct research in a hospital setting.
"Research gives me the luxury of thinking up my own questions and designing creative ways of answering them," she said. "RIC empowered me with the confidence to follow my passion for discovery and use what I find to improve the lives of others."
In addition to college honors, Moore will be graduating with the W. Christina Carlson Award for Excellence in Biology.
Another honors project by fine arts major Michael Baribault, directed by Professor of Art Stephen Fisher, consisted of a series of etchings, prints and plaster casts of his childhood parish St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Warwick. On an easel (see above) he displayed a print titled "One Hundred and Thirty Our Fathers." In creating the print, Baribault used a linear image of St. Peter's and included multiple perspectives layered one on top of the other – 130 layers to be exact. The background is the original blueprint of the building.
"At first glance, the individual churches are indefinable – structured chaos," said Baribault. "They appear as a claustrophobic mass of information, but upon further inspection, the viewer begins to identify the repeated form – a steepled church."
"My interest in mass repetition has to do with how religious beliefs are passed down from one generation to the next," he said. "As a child I followed the family ritual of attending church every week and taking part in all the holy days. But as I got older, I realized that I was just following a blueprint laid out for me." This honors project began a process of personal self-discovery, he said. Baribault intends to apply to graduate school and build on his love of art.
Byron Delmonico '14
Byron Delmonico's honors project was part of the American Marketing Association's (AMA's) Annual Collegiate Case Competition sponsored by The Hershey Company. The goal was to create a marketing plan for the relaunch of Hershey's Take 5 candy bar.
Students at colleges and universities throughout North America put together teams of six to 30 students for this competition; however, Delmonico, a double major in marketing and operations management, worked on his own. Directed by Professor Stephen Ramocki, Delmonico spent upwards of 300 hours doing research and developing a strategic plan, he said. Out of 86 entries, he placed in the top 20 and achieved a Certificate of Excellence by the AMA. In addition to college honors, Delmonico will be graduating with the Outstanding Student Award in Marketing.
Ramocki said, "Byron is the rare type of student who only comes along every 10 years or so. In addition to his ultra-high performance in the classroom, he is president of the RIC Chapter of the AMA and has led them to heights the group has not witnessed before."
Delmonico has already landed a contract as a marketing research consultant with a company in Rhode Island.
"The honors program is thriving and will continue to do so," said Spencer Hall, retiring director of the Honors Program. "Of the 29 students graduating with General Education Honors this year, five will graduate cum laude, 10 magna cum laude and an unprecedented 14 summa cum laude. That includes the 25 who completed departmental honors projects and another half dozen or so more scheduled to complete projects in the fall. Factor in the unparalled number of incoming freshmen accepted into General Education Honors, and it has been a very good year for honors at RIC. Very good indeed."

Raven Symone Loves Cock!Sunday, June 20th, 2010
Raven Symone has been fighting all these rumors about her being a lesbian. She wants everyone to no that she's no rug-munching homosexual; and that she's into penises and not vaginas. She even went online to dispel the rumors: "Even though I adore my gay and lesbian community… It's false that I am dating a girl right now."
Raven Symone is friends with Lindsay Lohan, who has been in sexual relationships with women and likes to lick pussy. Her close association with Lindsey Lohan has led people to speculate that she, like Lohan, is a dyke. Raven is best known for her role in The Cosby Show and her series of television movies that she did for Disney. And she just wants to make it clear that she likes dick.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
No one touches or even goes near them, but still, just the sight of the rows of books in the back of Hudson Bar & Books makes for a more elevated experience than you'll find at the usual beer hall. This is far from some low-rent drinking dive where the fanciest thing on display is some businessman's after-hours whore. It's a softly lit, living room–type swankfest, where well-dressed people order whiskies, brandies, and premium cigars culled from swanky places all over the world. It's so not us, but an occasional drop-in makes for a sci-fi adventure of real fascination. And if you find yourself cottoning to the sight of the dusty tomes, check out their two other branches—Beekman Bar & Books and Lexington Bar & Books—which operate on the same literate-den-with-amenities principle. By the way, what are those books on the shelves? Damned if we know. We've never looked at them, either.
This is very simple. First, somehow acquire a $10 bill. (Maybe sell some furniture? Some plasma? Some dignity?) Then go to Barcade. Buy a pint of one of their 20-plus fine beers on tap. (Scout their constantly rotating selection at barcadebrooklyn.com.) Tip generously. And then slip whatever bills you've got left into a change machine, extract as many quarters as that gets you, and dump them all into the Arkanoid machine. It's near the back, on your left. Arkanoid is driven by the oldest video-game conceit around: You have a little bar. You hit a ball. It busts up a few blocks. It comes back to you, and you hit it again. Repeat. Except now there's lasers and shit. You can split the ball into three balls. Some of the blocks are indestructible. There are enemies. And the blocks bloom into increasingly elegant geometric designs to entice and frustrate you. Shit is mad addictive. Stick with it. Sip your beer. Everything is gonna be all right. Things are gonna get better. They already have.
The Lower East Side, generally, and Ludlow Street, specifically, is larded with tiny, nonchalant, painstakingly rough-hewn clubs usually so jam-packed that the mere act of turning 360 degrees is a 10-minute operation. Such is the price of culture. This is occasionally true at the folkie-centric Living Room as well, of course, but it's just slightly more comfortable and inviting—you're able to sit down, which helps make it probably the best-named club in the city. Often mashing in 10 erstwhile singer-songwriters between the main stage and the even-homier upstairs space (a/k/a Googie's Lounge) per night, it's a fine place to indulge in a little artistic sensitivity and sentimentality that is nonetheless still graced with a fine coating of the neighborhood's studied grit. Go see X frontman John Doe whenever he wanders by. And keep your feet off the couch.
Welcome to Vandam, the Sunday-night party at Greenhouse, where old-school meets new-school meets still-going-to-school—a perfect reflection of the current melting-pot mélange that is making up nightlife in transition. All sexualities, genders, and professions mix in this two-floor, ecologically friendly (except for the hairspray) club, where the mood reflects back on hosts Susanne Bartsch and Kenny Kenny's past successes while clearing the plate for the next tantalizing course. While Bartsch and Kenny have a high taste for history, they're also anxious to serve their three-ring-circus standard to new clubbies who think Lady Gaga is a grande dame and Ecstasy is just an emotion.
The event itself is already a venerable institution by New York standards—it's a holdover from all the way back in '08—but it's staying fresh, probably because if you care enough to go all the way to Vandam and Varick streets for a good time, you must really care about nightlife.
Co-host Kenny Kenny is a wildly witty Irish guy who just happens to be wearing a three-foot acrylic flower on his head. Bartsch is the legend who has pepped up nightlife since the '80s, a Swiss Josephine Baker who veers between effusiveness and endearing neurosis. (She always claims, "No one's coming tonight" because there's bad weather or traffic, or because it's a holiday. And, as she says this, 500 people file past door goddess Cynthia onto the two floors, and, suddenly, it's a glittery sardine can.)
On the main floor, your yet-to-be-impaired peripheral vision catches the banquettes on the side, but you keep going to the dancing area, where you crowd in with "evergreen" hosts Dirty Martini, Ajoshua, and Chuck Attix, and dance to DJ Johnny Dynell's bracing mix of newish-old and oldish-new. The twinkly lights above create a strobe-y effect that's intriguingly seizure-friendly, and though you stop dancing for the shows (vaudeville-style performances by provocateurs like Rose Wood and Julie Atlas Muz), you move in place throughout so you can gracefully resume your punk ballet the second it's over.
Downstairs, the fake foliage on the walls gives an enchanted-cottage feeling, as you join hosts Desi Monster and Ladyfag in getting the most out of the hour-long open bar, then do more of that spasmic dancing thing with your date or (by now) with a whole other former stranger. Take a photo, and you'll capture Gotham's most condensed nightlife action in one frame: real-life cartoon figures making out, fighting, primping, and posing—all seemingly unaware of everyone else's agendas. You see people you haven't seen in aeons, and they pick up the conversation as if the past decade hasn't happened. You spot sailors who are either very cool or who didn't read the guidebook carefully enough. You run into a trannie who looks like a fish that has been squeezed through a keyhole, and a gaggle of bankers in Armani suits eyeing her like an incomplete mortgage application. All the guys seem to look like Christian Siriano, and all the girls look like Katy Perry. Everyone in between probably goes to FIT.
One week, a club kid looked a little humbled because Page Six had revealed that the boyfriend he always brags about is a nobody who just happens to have the same last name as someone famous. That's OK—Vandam is a place for forgetting and celebrating and distracting till the lights come on. It's a place for being wildly, internationally famous no matter what your name is.
And where do I fit into this very graphic novel? Somewhere outside the downstairs bathroom, where I can actually hear people talk, if not necessarily think. And the next day, I belong on the phone, hammering questions at Kenny Kenny in hopes of learning how to keep partying like it's 2008.
Me: Hi, Kenny. Why does your partnership with Ms. Bartsch seem to click so well?
Kenny Kenny: We both understand—she's going to hate me for this—that we're very dysfunctional, and we accept each other for that. We're both creative, and we like new ideas. Everything became so bland. We're not from a bland world. I've worked with other people—I'm not gonna mention their names—and they wanted things more bland. But I'm in nightlife because of the freedom of being eccentric and pushing the limits. Susanne really understands that. We are both a little odd, and we accept each other for that.
Me: But what's with her constant worrying?
Kenny: We all have this little worry box in our heads. I understand that. That means she cares. It's just neurosis. She acts it out kind of more.
Me: How does this event rate compared to your other joint ventures (Happy Valley, Room Service, and Kino), all of which I lived for?
Kenny: I think this one is the most workable. Both of us are kind of relaxed in that we're not trying to top ourselves—we're just trying to have a space where we can see what happens. "Let's just do what we do." You don't have to have a Broadway show. When I saw the space, I knew it would work. It was just the right size, and it's so campy—those fucking crystals hanging! I know [owner Jon Bakhshi] opened it for bottle service, but it looks like anything but bottle service. Did he know what he was doing? It looks so gay! [Laughs.] He's really good at paying the bills. He doesn't bounce checks.
Me: That's important. It's also good that the place is not just a downtown Jurassic Park, much as I love my '80s-survivor friends.
Kenny: I like seeing young kids because they bring a fresh take on the world. We've seen it and done it all, but when a young kid twists a T-shirt that certain way, you're like, "How the fuck?"
Me: Well, how the fuck do you get such a mix of newborn and near-dead?
Kenny: We turn off the bland gays. The gays that like us mentally get us. And Susanne makes it comfortable for straights, I think. We're very open to that. Other promoters snub people. We welcome people. It could be the hippest-looking crowd, but if the person who's ruling it is not that welcoming, you don't go back. We're always really glad to see people are showing up!
Me: And you give drink tickets, which are extra-appreciated in this economy. But does the recession help nightlife in any way? I keep hearing it's supposed to.
Kenny: I used to think that, but this is the worst one yet. I hope it knocks people out of this bland mentality where everyone's fitting in and the gays are looking like straights and the straights are looking like gays. Maybe if you don't have money to buy that thing to look like everybody else, you'll start looking like your real self. But I don't see it yet. I don't see that rebellion or anger that would come with it. I miss that. I still love New York, but I wish we had that surge of "Fuck the system"—to want to go out and fuck the world, and, in a way, it's embracing the world! It's embracing your energy!
If you walk by Farrell's pregnant, all the firemen and policemen drinking inside will whistle. Loudly. If you are a yuppie or a hipster, work from home, are on your way to see MGMT at Prospect Park, or don't have a badge, hose, or paper bag at your disposal, you might not like Farrell's (est. 1933). If you don't appreciate winos (the same winos, everyday) pissing on the stoop of your drinking establishment, you probably won't like Farrell's. If you call it "Farrell's Bar & Grill" (its full name), you definitely don't understand Farrell's. But if the prospect of drinking with cops who can't wait to teach you how to sneak alcohol onto the subway sounds like your idea of a good time, you are: 1) correct, and 2) an ideal Farrell's customer. And that, my friend, is a compliment.
Now that Americans have rediscovered what beer is supposed to taste like, is it any wonder that the traditional setting is coming back, too? Beer gardens are popping up across the land, but owners know there's something they have to avoid when they open a new facility: the feeling of newness itself. The more your beer garden feels like it's a place where people have been hoisting giant mugs of ale for centuries on end, the better. And that's why we adore Brooklyn's Radegast Hall and Biergarten. Sure, the great list of German, Belgian, and Czech brews is on the money, but we especially love how the place was carved out of an old factory, creating a space that's half patio, half assembly line. You can't shake the feeling that pints have been drained here since the Great Depression. If, after polishing off the weisswurst and sauerkraut smothered with horseradish and mustard, you still aren't convinced that this place is authentic, keep your eyes peeled for the occasional mustache-growing or glass-carrying competition, which can win you round-trip tickets to the Eden of beer: Saxon lands.

Daily Mail: Only Psychos Avoid Facebook
August 8, 2012 by Sam Rolley
If you have avoided Facebook, there is a strong possibility that you are a psychopath.
This shocking allegation comes from the United Kingdom's largest news source, Daily Mail. In an article, reporters for the newspaper point out the fact that both accused Aurora, Colo., mass murderer James Holmes and Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik lacked accounts on the social networking site.
Though the two were not on Facebook, Holmes was on an adult sex social network called Adult Friend Finder and Breivik had an account on Myspace. But, the Daily Mail article specifically refers to Facebook as being a necessary part of the daily lives of healthy modern people.
Its authors go on to note that human resources departments researching résumés of job applicants have become wary of individuals who do not have an account on the site, because the applicants could be socially inept or may have deleted their account because of too many red flags.
Also, the article notes that single people might need to avoid becoming romantically involved with individuals who are not on Facebook.
The article concludes: "And this is what the argument boils down to: It's the suspicion that not being on Facebook, which has become so normal among young adults, is a sign that you're abnormal and dysfunctional, or even dangerous…"
What the Daily Mail does not point out, however, is that some people may decide to avoid Facebook as a simple matter of privacy.
Currently, the social networking company operates software that monitors chats and posts for indications of criminal activity among its users. When the scanning software flags a suspicious chat exchange, it notifies Facebook security employees, who can then determine if police should be notified. It is not clear whether the scanned chats are permanently logged by Facebook.
It is also known that Facebook has financial ties to technological investment firms linked with the Central Intelligence Agency and is frequently used as a source for government information snoops.
TCC: YOU BETTER WAKE UP AMERICA! Perhaps its the "well adjusted" who avoid Facebook – which is the most "UN-SOCIAL" Network that exits!

Buy an Ainley instead. Far better customer service.
Cody's Gunslingin' Cosmonaut MH QAA (Shooter)
No doubt Ainley makes a fine product, but they are leaving a lot of business on the table by being unable to supply a product in a more reasonable time frame. I know nothing about the company or its management, but an increase in their manufacturing capability is clearly warranted if it takes them this long to make someone a basic dog box. I'm not going to wait as long as they have told me to get a simple 2-hole slide in and wouldn't be surprised if others have a similar view.
You can have products done 3 ways. Inexpensive, fast and quality. Unfortunately you can never have more than 2 of those done at once. So Ainley goes the route of quality and inexpensive in comparisons to others that are going for fast and quality like Deerskin but you pay for it. Then there's Mtntop which seems to be inexpensive and fast leaving the other one...
Cody's Gunslingin' Cosmonaut MH QAA (Shooter)
I just think the excessive wait would cause them to miss some sales. With the addition of some manufacturing capability, they could speed up deliveries, pick up lost customers, and become a more profitable company. Of course if they aren't running the business with that as an objective, then the status quo works fine...
I'm in the same boat and apparently, so are many others (see Bill Hillman's video about his MTCK box). I wanted an Ainley, but couldn't stomach the 7-8 month wait time, so I'll be going with a Mountaintop box. I know several folks with MTCK boxes that are nice, quality made products, and the newer boxes seem like an improvement over the older ones. I think it's an oversimplification to suggest that MTCK is producing products on a short time frame at the expense of quality. I guess if I wanted a 20 hole trailer, my opinion might be different, but a 2 hole box is not rocket science.
I found Mountain Top's phone number and learned all is fine except for their internet server. They can get me a 2-hole insulated stainless box with any add-ons ready to go very quickly as they have the basics in production already. Ainley makes a great box, but I just don't see how it's worth waiting 8 months in my case. Someone at MTCK read books about Henry Ford and Jack Welch!
Two years ago when I was looking for a 2hole box MTCK was a 1,000 dollars more than Ainley for a similar design. I was going with Ainely and ready to wait until I found the same box slightly used for 800 less with no wait.
I really like my MTCK 3 hole with extended drawers. Very well built and not any less expensive than Ainley. Very nice people to deal with as well!

You are here
Single In The Holy City
When it comes to love, Charleston certainly ranks among the top romantic settings. History-filled cobblestone streets on which to hold hands and stroll? Check. A smorgasbord of hot restaurants and bars in which to woo? Double check. A well-stocked fleet of singles from which to choose? Check—if you know where to look. That's where we come in. It has long been said that the Holy City heavily favors men with its surplus of women. But that rumor can be officially put to rest. According to a 2011 U.S. Census survey, when it comes to single males and females ages 20-plus here, the ratio is 1.2 to 1—hardly the significant advantage guys have bragged about for years. We've combed our fair city for the best places, events, activities, and more to meet your match—and even threw in a few tales from the F&B front lines. So read on, get out, and get flirty.

Aww, hayle! If the 3-packs are on sale, I need to start hitting the Targets again.
Then again, the last one I went to had just marked their bikes down... to $9.08.
Aww, hayle! If the 3-packs are on sale, I need to start hitting the Targets again.

That's my jacket!
Those three packs are outstanding. I bought several from HTS with the 15% coupon, so they came out to $17 each. A true and rare bargain these days.
With the figures running at $10, these are a steal at full price, particularly with the articulation and accessories. I swore if they even went to $15, I'd get every one I see.
That's my jacket!
Anyone else here?
In Roanoke (VA), I picked up one extra each of the black-garbed Cobra Commander and Cobra Officer from Dollar General, as well as one each of the first two 3-packs (Ninja Dojo and Ninja Showdown) on clearance at Target. (They were $17, so not quite the "get every one they have" point, but I haven't seen those two in CA at all.) I looked more closely at Kamakura and Red Ninja, alongside pics of Nunchuk and Slice, and they'd require very, very little work if you're cool with an update instead of a completely faithful update.
Also got a Snake Eyes mask for Chux Jr, and it makes a wonderful toy for the car, because she knows Snake Eyes can't talk and is silent when she wears it.
BTW, the Shadow Strike Ninja from the Wolverine line is a 5-POA version of the Red Ninja mold in black, but a slightly different black scheme than the Retaliation Dark Ninja. (I know that sounds convoluted.) Pity he's only got five joints, but he's also cheaper, so he may make a good single extra ninja in the background.
That's my jacket!
<chirp, chirp>
EE has Wave 3.5 (they call it Wave 4) for $119.99 with free shipping. I figure that's only eleven cents more than they'd cost in a store at $9.99, if I'm lucky enough to find them all. I can hunt extras of a few figures more easily than finding all twelve (and those b...ewitchin' accessories guarantee I want the "Ultimate" versions of the classic characters even though I've got a few of each that are probably as good or better).
That's my jacket!
EE still charges tax, though. BBTS charges shipping, but no tax and is $5 cheaper per case. HTS has several figures from that wave in stock. Use code mcdcrew2013 for 10% off your total order.
The second series Joes have shown up at the local Dollar Generals. I picked up Storm Shadow on Monday. I also found the Eaglehawk helicopter at Toys'R'Us in Marietta. I had a 20% coupon, so I got it for about $36.00 with tax.
I finally found most of the Wave 2 Joes at Dollar General in Banning last night. Snake Eyes was gone; I assume a kid must've wanted a Snake Eyes figure since there's no other way I could see just him being gone. I picked up Storm Shadow and the Cobra Trooper (interesting that both versions are called "Trooper," but have the Officer symbol on their helmets).
Really, really liking the Cobra more than I expected, which may sound odd since I've got this mold twice already. The comic-styled colors really look good on him, though.
That's my jacket!
Not sure how long the sale is on for, but I discovered today that Dollar General's toys are buy one, get one half off. Which worked out nicely, since they seem to be restocking the repaint wave and I scored two blue Cobra Officers for less than the cost of one basic Retaliation figure.
That's my jacket!
Ugh. I wish I had a Dollar General near me.

The Yup'ik Way of Life: An Alaskan People in Transition (Exhibit)
Time: 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM
Location: Museum of Anthropology, Wake Forest University
This student-curated exhibit features photographs of Alaska's Yup'ik people, their environment, and resources by Greensboro native John Rucker. Taken between 1979 and 1987, the photographs document a lifestyle that has largely disappeared with the arrival of modern influences such as telephones, fast food, and television in the intervening years. The images are integrated with objects made by Yup'ik artisans and collected by early Moravian missionaries with connections to Winston-Salem. The objects provide a link to the past and further document the cultural transitions of the Yup'ik since European contact. Admission is free.

If he really wanted to hurt her, he could've put on one of his albums. Yeesh. And that mugshot is just BEGGING to be an avatar.
and did anybody else see that episode "Pod People" on MST3K? Cos, every time I hear Yanni, i think of Joel and the Bots and their Wall of keyboards. might just be me though.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Very informative article for 2 reasons:
1) I now know where he got that goofy name. Not a stage name at all, just his middle name.
2) The piece quotes him in reference to his fans. Until now, I was not aware that he had any.
You guys didnt know Yanni was gangsta? You thought his funny name and bad music was all just a game? That mans the real deal. Word on the street is that he shot Tupac and Biggie. If thats the case his booty call got lucky cause Yanni dont play with nobody. Dont ever doubt his juice. Ever. Or you might be the next sucka to suffer his wrath.
Good Traders/Sellers: Cameo, Darth Cruel, Sith Killer 99, JJReason, icatch9, ChasingJediDogma, AT-AT Man, JediMasterGuyute, Brainiak76, JangoFett96, njscollectibles, Vulcantouch, AC Pin, TheDarthVader, msjedi, DarthQuack, Roojay
Its all pent up anger and frustration from all that crap he writes (does he really write it? Or do you think its all free form, improv?) and performs.
BAD needs: HK-50 torso, right arm and head
YVH-1 head
Trusty traders / buyers/ sellers: Tycho, SK99, DarthChuckMC, minirock(X2), Lman316, Turbowars
Well, Yanni certainly didn't age well. And coming from a past violent relationship, it's not always the one the finger is pointed at who is the bad person. In my case, my girlfriend would lie about what happened, so I ended up looking like that bad person, when all I wanted was to get out of the relationship.
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho, El Chuxter, and Darth Jax!!!!
Be an organ donor, save lives!
I was just thinking how overblown this sounds. Then I googled and found a story with a few more details. Now I just think it's a turgid non story. Why the press rattle out crap like this is beyond me. must be a dead new news period.

Einstein On The Beach, the opera from which Knee Play 5 was extracted, was a seminal work that broke all the rules, being non-linear, non-narrative, episodic, dreamlike and five hours long. Knee Play 5 is one of the number songs composed for scene changes, using numbers and solfege syllables as text.
American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of the most celebrated, influential and prolific of the modern composers. He is frequently referred to as a minimalist, though he prefers to call himself a composer of 'music with repetitive structures.'
Glass' operas, among them the renowned Einstein On The Beach, are performed across the globe, and he has created work for small and large ensembles, film and experimental theatre, and founded his own performing group, The Philip Glass Ensemble.
This is the Violin part for the fifth Knee Play from Einstein On The Beach.

Investors pulled some $9 billion from emerging-market stock and bond funds this week through June 12, the third largest ever, a period that saw the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) drop 3.6%. But don't despair–Merrill Lynch says an "EM buy signal [is] coming soon."
For that to happen, however, investors would need to pull another $8 billion to $10 billion from such funds next week and to trigger the first buy in more than two years.
That would have been in February 2011, and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF gained 10% during the following six weeks.
Since a picture is worth my 80 words, here's a chart of their indicator (click for a larger image):
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF has dropped 1.3% today to $39.44.

There are few pieces of gear more important than a players' hockey gloves. Having a comfortable, lightweight, protective glove is vital to feeling confident going into a game. While this test can't address a glove's comfort or protection level, it will certainly help out with the weight discussion.
Our Glove Weigh-in…..
Single Glove (Grams) Pair (Grams)
Warrior Bully 269 538
Warrior Luxe 273 546
Easton RS 278 556
Easton EQ50 281 562
Easton PH E-Pro 285 570
Bauer Vapor APX 297 594
Bauer 4 Roll 305 610
Warrior Franchise 307 614
Bauer TotalOne 319 638
Bauer Vapor APX Pro 326 652
Eagle PPF 337 674
The results: A bit surprising to me that the lightest Bauer glove was the 7th lightest in the group, but again you have to take the weight and the protection into consideration. In many cases, a glove with more padding and more protection is going to be slightly heavier. Not every player wants or needs that much protection so sometimes the sacrifice is worth it.
Good Showing for Warrior, too, finishing with the top 2 lightest gloves, and also for Easton with the next 3 lightest. All Gloves weighed were 14" inch retail models.
Let us know what you think @PureHockey and on Facebook.

Don't forget the 12 passes ASSUMES the dog qualifies at all of them. You gotta figure in a fail or 2. We are not only speaking of young dogs or 'new to master' game' (ie. from field trials), but any seasoned dog with mulitiple master passes can fail on any given day.
And there still is the issue of the greenness of the handler or handler error (or lack of experience) at any given test.
You know, that one whistle that was just a tad late and you lost your dog.
Agility does this at some of the various organizations and it works. But the AKC won't consider the MH, MH1, MH2 (or MHX) which works for obedience and agility, so why would the MN BOARD be different from any other stogy governing body in Field events?

A Lab has no appreciation for the artistic value of a bonsai tree, but does appreciate their potential as chew toys.
I like the regional idea somewhat. If you had a regional qualifier, say a 3 or 4 day test, I might run that even though I would be unlikely ever to go to the MN even if qualified. The problem with the regional qualifier is that it adds more to the time and expense of that pewter plate with the qualifier and then the whole MN grind. Would probably limit the MN to the pros and retired.
Why not split the thing into several MNs? Have four smaller ones around the country? It is just a hunt, test after all, so it isn't like some folks would have an advantage by running against a weaker field. Plus, that would allow for more fact finding junkets for the MNRC powers that be, so they would be all over that

Human Rights Education
Amnesty International believes that learning about human rights is the first step toward respecting, promoting and defending the rights of all people. Teaching human rights means both conveying ideas and information concerning human rights and nurturing the values and attitudes that lead to the support of those rights.
About Human Rights Education
Human rights education is both a lens through which to observe the world and a methodology for teaching and leading others.
Amnesty International believes that learning about human rights is the first step toward respecting, promoting and defending those rights. The Human Rights Education program (HRE) was established in order to facilitate the teaching of human rights. Designed to support teachers of kindergarten through college as well as educators working in non-formal settings such as community associations and cultural forums, HRE is dedicated to promoting the human rights principles and positive value system that are set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Amnesty International's Human Rights Education Program provides resource materials as well as training and networking opportunities. All educators, formal, informal, and potential, are invited to join our Human Rights Education Network (HRE Network), which currently includes a range of teachers from those just beginning to consider including human rights education in their curriculum to long-time activists/human rights educators.
Teaching about human rights means both conveying ideas and information concerning human rights and nurturing the values and attitudes that lead to the support of those rights.
Amnesty International USA Orientation
Welcome to Amnesty International's Online Orientation. This course will help orient you to Amnesty International and to human rights. There are four modules and a reference guide. We strongly encourage volunteer leaders and group leaders to spend a few moments and take this course, as it will provide you with foundational information you need to be effective within AIUSA.
Module 1: About Amnesty International
Learn about Amnesty International's mission and vision, history, working methods, and organizational structure.
Module 2: International Human Rights Standards Get important background about international human rights standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Bill of rights, and other supplemental treaties.
Module 3: Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
Learn about economic, social and cultural (ESC) rights, which relate to the conditions necessary to meet basic human needs such as food, shelter, education, health care, and gainful employment. This module provides a basic understanding of specific ESC rights. As Amnesty International develops its research, actions, and campaigning in this area, it is important that members expand their knowledge in this area.
Module 4: Membership Structures
Understand membership structures at AIUSA, including individual membership, group membership, network structures, and volunteer leadership roles, and see how these all play a vital part in successful activism.
Teaching Guides
Our teaching guides are designed to provide a solid framework for discussing human rights in your classroom.
