The Kimberley - Cruising (Coral Princess)
The region known simply as The Kimberley takes its evocative name from its most imposing landmark; an ancient mountain range visible from the rugged sea coast. Covering more than 400,000 square kilometres (an area three times larger than England) in North West Australia, yet home to just 30,000 people, it is a place universally acknowledged as one of the world's last - and
possibly most beautiful wilderness areas. The Kimberley yields images to fill the frames
of a lifetime. It is a place of magnificent vistas created by towering rock ridges, silent secluded gorges, wide savannah plains and plunging waterfalls which defy both nature and
This is a land steeped in ancient Aboriginal culture and the legends of our pioneering past. Travel ashore to view the world's oldest known indigenous art, the mysterious Bradshaw (Gwion) paintings and soak up the history of early explorers such as Phillip Parker King who first charted this spectacular coastline almost 200 years ago.
Experience the heartland of Australia's northernmost unspoilt outback. The Kimberley is a completely unique experience.
The Kimberley - Cruising (Coral Princess) itinerary:
Coral Princess
Onboard Accommodation

- Sundeck and Spa Pool
- Comprehensive reference library featuring videos and books on the reef, islands and outback
- Phone and fax facilities

Standard hours are breakfast from 7:00-8:30am, lunch at 12:30pm and dinner at 7:30pm however meal times may vary according to the day's activities. Meal times will be advised in the onboard daily bulletins.
Excursion Boats And Zodiacs
The "Explorer" is a specially designed aluminium excursion vessel used for the majority of our excursions. This vessel has high horsepower engines and will accommodate all passengers at one time. The "Explorer" will be used for landings and for extensive exploration of rivers and tributaries. For your added convenience and comfort, the "Explorer" is equipped with an awning and toilet.
We also carry two inflatable landing craft (Zodiacs). Designed for expedition work, these large and heavy-duty infla tables are extremely safe. Separate air compartments retain a large reserve of buoyancy even if the boats damaged. The flat bottom design permits these crafts to land directly onto the beaches. Expect nonetheless to wade through shallow water to reach the shore.

El otoño es la elaboración de
Bueno no nos podemos quejar, Hemos tenido un verano indio super bien todas las cosas buenas llegado a su fin el tiempo y mientras el sol sigue brillando y el cielo es un azul profundo profundo, there's a nip in the air and a chill in the breeze now. What is sooo frustrating for me is that while there are a hundred jobs I should be doing in the garden before the rains come, I have dreadful pain in my left leg and several different anti inflamatories and pain killers later – nothing seems to be working. It's not sciatica and a week in bed didn't improve it so it's unlikely to be muscular, next step is seeing the spacialist on the 9 Nov after my return from seeing mum in England.
So what to do if not gardening? I can only work on the website for so many hours in the day and standing still kills so even the ironing is being done sitting down – time I think, to get on with a recently found interest in patchwork. I joined a French Patch group a couple of years ago to try to improve my spoken French and it seemed an ideal subject as I've always been handy with a needle. To say I am overwhelmed by their talent and size of their projects is an understatement, from the smallest pin cushions to the king sized quilts, their work is exquisite. As I tend to be a bit too busy in summer to do much I've only a few finished pieces to my name and 2 of those went as gifts to friends. I've just completed a wall hanging in a method called 'crazy' and it is really addictive. You just keep adding embelishements and embroidery over a crazy paving structure of different fabrics, lace and anything else you can get hold of. It's difficult to know when to stop or even to want to.
I've also finished (bar the border) a massive hanging which I found to do on the internet and involved downloading a patch a month which was a great way to start as it didn't overwhelm a beginner like me with its size. One of my winter projects is to get the border done and hang it in one of the gites twin bedrooms to brighten it up.
One of my French friends Catherine is an avid patch artist and produces wonderful items which regularly humble me with their beauty and intricacy. She recently finished an amazing piece made with hundreds of tiny patches created with a reverse appliqué technique, really incredible stuff. She has been doing patch for years but I doubt I will ever rise to her ability or patience.
I can't say my conversation skills have vastly improved but I have found a great interest for those dark winter evenings and met a lovely group of ladies who couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. If you haven't been to France before, don't let the bad press the French receive put you off, they are a wonderfully warm, friendly, helpful, polite and patient lot and so long as you make a bit of an effort to at least say 'bonjour' they repay that a hundredfold. Say bonjour on your next holiday by staying here in our gites and get the comforts of home with the excitement of a new country thrown in. If patch is your thing, there's a huge show in Nantes every April that I was lucky enough to go to on my birthday this year, we even met Kaffe Fasset so well known for his vibrant colour designs. Another great event in Loire Atlantique.

(ESV) Matthew 6:1
Chapter 6
Giving to the Needy
1 "Beware of rpracticing your righteousness before other people in order sto be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 t"Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may ube praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have vreceived their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. wAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
The Lord's Prayer
5 "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love xto stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. yTruly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, zgo into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. aAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as bthe Gentiles do, for cthey think that they will be heard dfor their many words. 8 Do not be like them, efor your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 fPray then like this:
g"Our Father in heaven,
hhallowed be iyour name.1
10 jYour kingdom come,
kyour will be done,1
lon earth as it is in heaven.
11 mGive us nthis day our daily bread,1
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And olead us not into temptation,
but pdeliver us from qevil.1
14 rFor if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 sbut if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 "And twhen you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. uTruly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, vanoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. wAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 x"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where ymoth and rust1 destroy and where thieves zbreak in and steal, 20 xbut lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 a"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 abut if byour eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 c"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and dmoney.1
Do Not Be Anxious
25 e"Therefore I tell you, fdo not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 gLook at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. hAre you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his ispan of life?1 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, jeven Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, kO you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For lthe Gentiles seek after all these things, and myour heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But nseek first othe kingdom of God and his righteousness, pand all these things will be added to you.

So what does gesture tell us about Tino Sehgal's work and what value does it have?
Sehgal's pieces seem a good fit for Agamben's gestic politics – they deliberately eschew a product or remnant of any kind, and implicate the audience in a perpetual game of the confusion of roles with the other participants of the piece. The pieces themselves do not live outside of memory and make the audience physically aware of their role within the institutional context of the gallery or museum and within the piece itself.
Gesture and Sehgal
Sehgal's work relates to Agamben's concept of gesture in a sense through it's retreat form material form. Sehgal's strategy of no documentation ensures that the materiality of the pieces remains in abeyance (although this action in itself becomes an important discussion point). By taking this approach to residue, the works emphasise the temporary nature of their acts, which in themselves incorporate gestures in the commonly understood sense of the term. For Agamben gesture requires that "nothing is being produced or acted, but rather something is being endured and supported" (Agamben, 1992, p. 56) which would seem to be a good description of the experience of a Sehgal piece.
The extensive use of quotations in the list of artworks above reflects the fact that there is very little 'original' documentation of the pieces, for example artist's statements, photography or recordings. Most information about the pieces comes from anecdotal evidence. These descriptions of the pieces appear not only as off-hand comments in informal publications, such as internet blogs (where one would expect this level of commentary), but also crop up as a common feature of magazine reviews.
[He] seems less concerned with subverting or challenging global capitalism, and the art institution, than with making them freshly visible, open to new possibility. (Steeds, 2005)
The artist actively avoids anything which could be seen as an object in relation to his pieces, either of the piece, or any physical objects left over from the event. Similarly there is little or no record of the work except what visitors take away with them in their memories. The works rely almost exclusively on memory for their extended 'life' beyond the actual event in the original site. These may then be committed to paper or other forms of record by reviewers or commentators, but essentially the works live on only by the mediation of another, the audience that experienced them.
Tino Sehgal – Selected works
The following is a selected list of the artist's works with short descriptions:
- 2000 Instead of allowing something to rise up to your face dancing bruce and dan and other things
An interpreter writhing on the gallery floor. - 2001 This is good
"… gallery guards singing … thrashing their arms about in circles while jumping from leg to leg." (Bishop, 2005) - 2002 This is propaganda
"… a brief, ghostly recording by an unidentified woman singing "this is propaganda, you know, you know" (from a pop song); the recording is triggered whenever someone passes by an unmarked spot in the room." (Gabri, 2003)

Debate continues over Elburn Station
ELBURN – A vigorous, in-depth discussion about the plans for the Elburn Station project began Monday, when village leaders aimed to compile a list of concerns while they seek to find a consensus that would move the development forward.
The most significant issue is the amount of multiunit rental properties, and officials appeared to favor spelling out limits that would address how many such rental units could be built. Also, there was discussion about not allowing a new phase of building to occur until the previous one was 95 percent complete. Discussion is expected to continue at next week's Committee of the Whole meeting.
It's the first step in the process since October, when instead of voting on the plan, the board voted, 4-3, to table the discussion of the topic. Board member Bill Grabarek said there were too many concerns over the density of the proposed development by ShoDeen, which would bring 2,200 homes – including more than 1,300 apartments and condominiums – to the village.

Rental and homeowner vacancy rates and homeownership rates are available for the U.S., regions, states, and for the 75 largest Metropolitan Areas. National, regional, state, and metropolitan area data are available both annually and quarterly. Homeownership rates are also tabulated by age of householder and by family status for the U.S. and regions. In addition, estimates of the total housing inventory and percent distributions of vacant for-rent and for-sale-only units are available for the U.S. and regions.
There are about 72,000 housing units both occupied and vacant contained in the Current Population Survey (CPS) Sample. Of these units, about 61,200 are occupied and are eligible for interview each month. In addition to the 61,200, about 10,800 are visited, but found to be vacant or otherwise not interviewed each month. About half of the 10,800 units are vacant and interviewed for the HVS. The HVS is a supplement of the CPS.
Multi-family vacancy rates are only available nationally from the HVS. Overall vacancy rates (which include single and multi- family units) are available by region, state, and for the 75 largest MAs. Multi-family vacancy rates, by region, are available every two years from the American Housing Survey (AHS - national). MA data are also available for the 44 largest MAs from the AHS, each completed every four years on a rotating basis.
Housing unit estimates are available for the U.S. and regions by type of vacant unit and tenure. Estimates are also available for the U.S. and regions by age of householder. However, we do not have estimates by State or by MA. Some MA housing unit estimates are available from the AHS. County level data or smaller are only available from the decennial censuses.
The 4 quarterly press releases are issued during the last week of the month following the previous quarter. The detailed tables previously shown in quarterly reports will normally be available on the day of the press release. The annual data will be available after the fourth quarter press release is issued each year as soon as it can be compiled.
Foreclosures may be in any of the housing stock categories on Table 3 (Estimates of the Total Housing Inventory for the United States) of the press release. They could still be occupied by the owner, or still be occupied by the renter, making them "owner occupied" or "renter occupied", respectively.
They could also be vacant and available for sale or for rent. If the unit is classified as "vacant for sale only", it will be included in the "vacant for sale" category. If the unit is for rent or "for sale OR rent, " it will be included in the "vacant for rent" category.
Many foreclosures will be in the "vacant other" category, because they are neither for sale or for rent - they are still in the foreclosure process and tied up in legal proceedings, or being held off the market until the legal owner of the property decides what to do. In addition, it is possible the unit could be undergoing repair for future use. Also included in the "vacant other" category are units "for occasional use" and units "temporarily occupied by persons with usual residence elsewhere", both of which may contain foreclosures. Foreclosures could also be included in the seasonal category, depending on the specific situation.
In conclusion, foreclosed properties may appear in all of the housing unit categories, not just the "vacant for sale" category. However, please note that the formulas for calculating the rental and homeowner vacancy rates shown on pages 10 and 11 of the press release do not include "vacant other" or "seasonal" units in the calculation of the vacancy rates.

Braced by strong sales of wood products, the Federal Way, Wash.-based company reported a sales increase of 33%.
Braced by strong sales of wood products, Federal Way, Wash.-based Weyerhaeuser Co. reported net earnings of $144 million for the first quarter. This compares with net earnings before special items of $9 million for the same period last year.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2013 rose 33% to $2.0 billion, compared with net sales of $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012.
Weyerhaeuser Co. reported net sales of $1.79 billion for its third fiscal quarter, compared with net sales of $1.57 billion for the third quarter of 2011.
Net earnings for the quarter, which ended Sept. 30, were $117 million, compared with $157 million in the third quarter of 2011. (That quarter included $24 million in net earnings from discontinued operations.) Before special items, Weyerhaeuser reported net earnings for the third quarter of $117 million, compared with $66 million a year ago.
Weyerhaeuser Co., one of the industry's largest supplier of wood products, reported net sales from continuing operations of $1.8 billion for its second fiscal quarter, a 12.5% increase over net sales from continuing operations of $1.6 billion in the second quarter a year ago.
Weyerhaeuser Co. has announced its official preference for purchasing wood that is certified under the American Tree Farm System (ATFS), a program of the American Forest Foundation. More than 89,000 family forest owners managing 27 million acres of forestland are part of the American Tree Farm System.
Federal Way, Wash.-based Weyerhaeuser Co. announced that Doyle Simons, 48, will join its board of directors, effective June 29.
Simons' appointment follows the departure of Arnold Langbo, who retired from Weyerhaeuser's board in 2011.
The Board of Directors of Federal Way, Wash.-based Weyerhaeuser Co. declared a dividend of $0.15 per share on the common stock of the corporation payable June 1, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business May 11, 2012.

New York Dinner Cruise
New York City, New York
My Rating
My Review
We were celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary and they gave us some special treatment, which was nice. We got a great table, and the meal was very good. I recommend to cruisers to ask for a table on the left port side of the dining room, so you have a view of NYC while cruising out. We had a view of New Jersey. The meal was great, and the weather was perfect. We ran into an issue when a reckless person dropped a drinking glass on the dance floor and a tiny shard of glass stuck in my wife's leg. The manager handled the situation very quickly and professionally. There was no permanent damage, and they served us free drinks after that to make up for the inconvenience. It was a great night!

Hey man - I saw your pull-up station and it looks great. Can you email exactly how you put it together, materials, etc @ firstname.lastname@example.com? Thanks. -Sterling
- April 30, 2009 at 7:40 AM
Jason, you need to work on your form here. I see that you really "heart" snatch, but be careful with your form or you could hurt yourself.

LOL, it's called "snatch".
- June 7, 2009 at 6:22 PM
- Jason Struck, RKC said...
don't laugh. people injure themselves all the time snatching.
TOTALLY TRUE. - June 8, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Hey Jason, I'm glad you realize the danger of this movement. I have witnessed clients due serious damage to their shoulders, back, and knees working this movement before I helped them. I'm glad you recognize the serious nature of this lift. Improve your form for safety, always!!!!!
- June 8, 2009 at 2:39 PM
- Jason Struck, RKC said...
But I am still gonna snatch every day. Sometimes 2-3 times a day.
Like they do in Mother Russia. - June 8, 2009 at 4:04 PM
Oh, my bad Jason, I didn't realize you were Russian. But check this out, if you live in America, which I'm guessing you do, Americans train hard and well too, and had a tremendous showing in the last World's strongest man competition, with 4 of the top 10 dudes! If you are Russian, my apologies, but if you are American, try to be patriotic man, it will help you out. And always remember, SAFETY FIRST!!!!!!

In Russia, safety firsts you.
- June 8, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Jason, I am not as familiar with Russia as you are since you are at least part Russian, but I'm not sure what you mean by "Russia firsts you". That doesn't make sense to me. Is it a communist mantra or something? Let me know!!!

no, it's a Yakov Smirnov joke.
A popular american comedian, one which many people who grew up in the USA are familiar with. - June 8, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Very funny Jason!!! I remember Yakov, very funny! I know you heart snatch, but remember, start off with the movement and get the base fundamentals down first before adding much weight, then move up after you have mastered the form. You can do it bud!!!!

eBay's New Automatic Bidding System
As a seller I have had a number of bidders tell me that they were upset because they missed an item that they really wanted. As a buyer, I was tired of loosing an item that I really wanted because I didn't go high enough. eBay has come out with a nifty system, called, "Proxy Bidding"
It is an automatic bidding system to make bids on eBay items more convenient and less time consuming for bidders. In fact it is easy as pie, you don't even have to set up anything in order to bid this way. When you bid on an item in the "auction, you will be placing bids using this method. Ebay even has a Test drive for the auction you can try out if you go to your "My eBay" and look up Proxy Bidding.

"Visually impressive with great emotional performances," he said. "But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers."
Russell Crowe, who plays brooding antagonist Inspector Javert -- and who has received his fair share of vocal critique -- responded with equanimity, tweeting that while he understood the singer's view, director Tom Hooper wanted the live singing to be "raw and real."
It's true that the movie's singing is more "raw" than it might have been with more polished, professional singers in the cast. But the idea that such singing is more "real" reflects a
In a show as technically difficult as "Les Misérables" -- in which nearly every single line is sung, not spoken -- interpreting the music is as essential to telling the story as being able to act. In Hooper's version, there's a wide range of artistic strengths on display -- Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, and even the widely touted Hugh Jackman, while visually arresting, leave
I don't fault Hooper for choosing stars with screen presence over those who can handle the musical material. It makes sense commercially as well as, to some degree, artistically, and it has traditionally been the approach for those making Hollywood musicals. In the last 30 years or so -- roughly during the "rockist" era of music criticism -- dubbing has been disregarded as inauthentic. During this mostly fallow period for Hollywood musicals, a handful of films, from "Everyone Says I Love You" to "Mamma Mia!," have tried reviving the form with non-singers. And in rare cases, as with "Rent," an adaptation has maintained most, if not all, of its original stage performers to stay true to the show, even if their screen-acting skills were unproven. But whatever is gained in "authenticity" in either case is usually lost in sheer aesthetic quality.
The history of the movie musical shows that such "realism" is unnecessary. Classically trained singers like Betty Noyes, Betty Wand, and Marni Nixon made careers out of singing for some of Hollywood's most famous actresses, including Audrey Hepburn and Leslie Caron. One of the greatest movie musicals, "West Side Story," dubbed three of its leads -- Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer and Rita Moreno -- because their voices weren't trained for the operatic score. The film was better for it.
Hooper's vision of "raw and real" performances makes intuitive sense, but it flies in the face of filmmaking craft. You're always depending on artifice, and "fake" methods can produce real emotions in filmgoers. In the case of "Les Misérables," a little more fakery would likely have made me feel quite a bit more.

Modelling and Projections
Details of different types of modelling conducted by OESR are provided below.
Economic modelling
OESR has extensive expertise in economic modelling, particularly in the field of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling.
OESR's expertise in the development, application and analysis of CGE modelling supports microeconomic policy analysis and decision making within the Queensland Government. Using these models promotes a better understanding of Queensland's economic structure and the drivers of economic growth at the state level, and quantifies the effects of state and Commonwealth policies and other impacts on the Queensland economy.
Recent work undertaken by OESR using this expertise includes modelling to determine the economic impacts of climate change and emissions trading and the impact of the global financial crisis on employment in Queensland regions and industries.
Projections of population, households and dwellings
Official population projections for Queensland and regions are produced twice every five years to assist planning activities. These projections are based on extensive knowledge of population dynamics, residential dwelling activity, urban land supply and research into the changes brought by resource development.
The most recent edition provides population projections out to 2056 for Queensland in addition to household and dwelling projections to 2031. Populations, households and dwellings are also projected for statistical divisions, local government areas and statistical local areas, out to 2031.

Bahujan Samaj Party's chief Mayawati enters Forbes' list of most powerful women in the world. She ranks 59th most powerful women and joins Sonia Gandhi, who is ranked 21st in the list. Mayawati shares this limelight with other powerful women from India including Indira Nooyi, the Indian-origin chief of Global Soft Drink Major Pepsico currently at 3rd position and Indian Biotechnological firm Chief Kiran Mazumdar, who holds 99th position.
Mayawati came into power in 1995, when at 39, she was the youngest politician elected to the post and was also the first Dalit to head the state government. The report further says that she commands a large following and goes simply by her name "Mayawati". Over a period of time, she has formed alliance with many parties and has maintained her prominence in the Indian Politics.
The list has been topped by German chancellor Angela Merkel. On Gandhi, the magazine said the Italian-born leader of India's most powerful political party has by now assumed the role of elder stateswoman. "Although she remains firmly at the head of the country's ruling party, a rising star, known by the single name Mayawati, is challenging Gandhi's position as the country's most powerful woman." The magazine said that Mayawati has aligned herself with the nationalist Hindu BJP party and joined its members in vociferously opposing Gandhi's party's historic agreement with the US on nuclear cooperation.
The magazine described Mayawati as the one "in the running to be prime minister, from her perch as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state."
Kumari Mayawati was born in Delhi. Her father Prabhu Das was a clerk in the telecommunications department in Delhi. Her mother is Ram Rati. She graduated from Kalindi College in Delhi and holds a Bachelor of Law degree. She also holds a Bachelor of Education degree and was a teacher in Delhi (Inderpuri JJ Colony) until joining full time politics in 1984. At one point she also studied for the Indian Administrative Service examinations. However, after meeting Kanshi Ram, she gradually came under his patronage, and was part of his core team when he founded the BSP in 1984.
Contrary to some poll predictions, BSP won a majority, the first such majority since 1991. Mayawati managed to attract support from Brahmins, Thakurs, Muslims and OBCs voted for the first time for a Dalit party, partly because BSP had offered seats to people from these communities. As usual, this was accompanied by a colourful slogan: Haathi nahin, Ganesh hain, Brahma, Vishnu Mahesh Hain: The elephant (BSP Logo) is really the wise Ganesh, the trinity of gods rolled into one.
Mayawati as Chief Minister, 2007
Kumari Mayawati was sworn in as Chief Minister of UP for the fourth time on 13 May 2007. Her announced agenda is focused on social justice through laws and other means for weaker sections, providing employment instead of distributing money to unemployed; her slogan is to make Uttar Pradesh into an Uttam (excellent) Pradesh.
Her first action was to suspend two IAS officers for non-performance to maintain the Ambedkar park in Lucknow: B.B. Singh, Vice-President (LDA), and S.K. Aggarwal (PWD Principal Sec.) and also one other lower rank officer. It is widely believed that these officers were close to the outgoing government of Mulayam Singh Yadav. She has transferred around 100 police officers.
She is continuing the Process of corruption clear out in UP Police Department. It is a major Crack Down on corrupted policemen and officers recruited during the previous Mulayam Singh Regime. So far 17,868 policemen has lost their jobs for irregularities in the recruitment process and 25 IPS officers were suspended for involving in corruption while recruiting the police constables.
She has also opened case files relating to land deals of the leading actor Amitabh Bachchan in Barabanki, who was close to the previous Samajwadi Party regime.
Since attracting the votes of upper castes, she now talks about a policy for poverty-based reservations rather than caste-based reservations.

I had given up on marriage. All of a sudden there he was sitting in the sun in a wheelchair, my knight, my soulmate, my somebody extraordinary. Francois a C6-7 quadriplegic has a deep understanding of human nature, and great sense of humour. Meeting him changed my life forever. I offered him a sip of my ginger beer. We married in 2009 in South Africa.
That nylon, smooth as silk just does something to a man. Add the intrigue of those legs being paralyzed and it's very exciting for men dating paraplegics. She gave a little twirl in her wheelchair. He complimented her stunning appearance. The chair disappeared into the rooftop lift and we were off to dinner.
Disability fetish is grossly mis-represented in the commercial sex industry. Gimp calendars and videos of amputees having sex are a poor representation. Very few with a disability fetish actually desire to be disabled. Medical fetish range from an attraction to wheelchairs to torturous medical devices. In the extreme these can be harmful. We unveil the mystery of fetish.
This is the story of how I met Jeff and our first date together. My boyfriend doesn't mind dating paraplegic girls. I use a wheelchair, leg braces and crutches because I'm paralyzed from my waist down. We really hit it off on our first date. I guess it's hard for some men to commit to a relationship with a handicapped girl. Jeff seems to look past my disability though.
Highly respected German photographer Rasso Bruckert frustrated with "hospital" type images of the disabled celebrates disability through his camera lens. A collection of his raw powerful images appeared in a gallery titled "Perfect/Imperfect" inviting us to challenge the way we think about beauty and disability.
Challenging the myth in society only the most glamorous, attractive and successful among us live fulfilling active, healthy and imaginative sexual lives, Intimate ENCOUNTERS is a powerful photographic exhibit of disability sexuality by Belinda Mason-Lovering. It's a journey that, if fully embraced, determines and moulds our identity and self-worth.
Photographer Sarah Murray and fellow Canadian artist Kyla Harris collaborate in the project Access Sex to present sexuality and physical disability together, encouraging the audience to look beyond the confines of the human body. For centuries the arts and media have failed to portray disability and wheelchair users in a positive sexual light. Access Sex aims to revolutionize that.
Sex after spinal cord injury made easy using a personal hoist sling as a sex swing. Spice up your wheelchair love life. Many sexual positions are hard to achieve with a disability due to paralysis and limited mobility. Increase your sexual ability, enhance intimacy, please your lover and watch your love life blossom. You'll get the swing of it.
Some sexual positions after spinal cord injuries like quadriplegia and paraplegia are best achieved by practising wheelchair sex. Modern wheelchairs with easy to remove armrests, footplates, folding backrests, and brakes make wheelchair sex fun and easy empowering greater sexual freedom. Some find paralysis and wheelchair users sexually attractive and actively seek them as partners for sex and life long love...

How to Conduct an Assessment of Your Court's Record-Making Operations: A Systemic Approach
How do court systems often make decisions about making the record? By examining one item: cost. Many times, rather than studying the best and most-effective manner for ensuring a fair and efficient judicial process, courts deal with budgetary pressure by replacing court reporters with alternative methodologies. Yet they take this step unaware of the hidden costs and problems inherent in this strategy.
To counter this approach and develop a tool of real benefit to the courts - and to court reporters - the Justice Management Institute, a well-respected and recognized leader in the judicial field, with funding and guidance from the National Court Reporters Foundation, embarked on a two-year effort to develop a jurisdiction specific self-assessment guide and resource manual that helps courts examine the best approach for managing the record-making function. The result? The two-volume How to Conduct an Assessment of Your Court's Record-Making Operations: A Systemic Approach.
During initial research for the project, JMI, together with NCRA and NCRF, determined that the judicial system needed new, fresh and complete information so courts could make informed decisions about record-making applications, including realtime reporting. Thus, the development of a tool that engages not only court administration, not only judges, but all stakeholders in this critical function.
Volume 1: The Self-Assessment Guide offers an overview of record-making technology and its implications for the future, advice on preparing and conducting the self-assessment, and how to develop an action plan. Volume 2: The Resource Manual provides materials for the self-assessment process. Also available is the Executive Summary, which helps to explain the benefits of moving forward with a systemic review of a court's record-making approach.
This two-volume study benefits the reporting profession and the judiciary by:
- Helping the courts identify who has a stake in record-making operations,
- Offering information on the many factors involved when considering various court reporting methodologies,
- Serving as a unique, valuable and credible tool for educating the courts about what a highly skilled court reporter can do, and
- Ensuring that courts make smart and informed decisions about how to make the record.

People overwhelmingly like artwork in their scenarios (including fan-scenarios), but obviously creating it from scratch is not usually time-wise. Therefore, I'd like to discuss tips from those of you who know how to use GIMP (free), Photoshop, and Paint Shop Pro for inclusion of ALTERED generic artwork into scenarios.
Here's a quick method for doing 2e-style black-white artwork from a picture that I'll use for an NPC:
Here's the original:
Anyways, here's how I did it:
1. Crop to the right size (usually just the head)
2. Brighten the photo a little
3. Reduce to 2-colors (black & white)
4. Add some facial hair or alter the eyebrows.
That's about it. It's quick and can get you pictures for your NPC's.
Copyright's matter, so always alter well beyond the 25% threshhold (called the Warhol threshold). I'd also recommend that you avoid using ACTUAL WFRP art in your FAN SCENARIO, unless deformed beyond reason because people would be more hypersensitive about something like that here.
Any thoughts from the rest of you on doing locations and maps?

Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked, I enjoy being liked, I HAVE to be liked.
But its not like this compulsive need to be liked...like my need to be praised. -Michael Scott, the Office
Deviantart.com is a great place to pull fantasy art from as well. I greatly improved the lack of npc art from "An eye for an eye" from there.

Retail marketing is an important component to businesses which see returns from direct sales. Promoting a retail location with the proper signage, local advertising and reputation will help draw in customers to improve sales opportunities. Proper in store display and product promotion is also useful in catching the consumer eye to improve profits.
Marketing a business very different from marketing a product. The business must be considered as a whole with all the products it intends to carry. This lack of focus leads business owners to create sale opportunities which develop a hook to draw in consumers to save on a specific product. Enhancing the in store traffic of an outlet is key to improving overall revenue.
Marketing consultants can often assist businesses in finding areas in which they may improve upon current advertising techniques. Agencies offer services based on a wealth of experience working with retail services to improve profitability and cease wasteful spending on ineffective efforts.
There are several online resources available to assist business owners in developing marketing campaigns that show results.

So I was rewatching 'Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie' and I started thinking a bit: why does Lisa even like the show & the movie?
It's violent and a rather stupid show & the movie doesn't seem to be any better. The fact she is a fan of it does feel kinda odd and it goes against the intelligent, intellectual, responsible and mature person she is for her age.
(Edit: Yeah, this is kind of a stupid thread, but I only wanted to see what you think.)

Every Friday, Ryan Carey covers the people and events that are giving Philly the giggles.
Longtime local comedian Alex Pearlman has always been significantly more marginal than a lot of popular Philly-based comedy acts. This is perhaps due to his stream-of-consciousness, catharsis-oriented comedy that's reminiscent of a young Marc Maron. When he came out publicly on stage in 2004, Philadelphia's comedy scene was much less LGBTQ-friendly than it is now. He's done a lot of stuff over the years that he'd mention with a self-deprecating eye-roll, but comedy is important to him. His love of the craft is infectious, and his use of the stage for a sort of two-way therapy session makes you realize that there's more to comedy than impersonal one-liners. On Wed., Jan. 25, you can see him at his free monthly showcase, Head First at The Dive (947 E. Passyunk Ave.) In the meantime, enjoy this chat I had with him as well as his YouTube video on Tycho Brahe.
City Paper: How would you say you've grown as a comedian over the years?
Alex Pearlman: Nobody wants to hear from you till your 30. I go back and look at my joke book from when I was 20, and it's all these hacky jokes about Bush and Michael J. Fox ... Wait till you have a friend that dies the same day another friend has a baby. Wait till you've been so broke that you can only afford one pack of Ramen a day. You need heartbreak, or to settle something in life. It was easy not to burn out early, because there weren't all that many mics. I didn't push for weekend work. I didn't do too many shows. I just wanted to do my five during the week and come back and work on my personality. It wasn't a strategy; I just sorta fell into it. I started a podcast with a rapper friend of mine [who] helped me refuel my comedy. He accused me [of being] "cocky and offensive." I read him a joke randomly out of my book, and it started: 'I was standing on the Empire State Building looking down at the world.' I realized he might be right.

Comedian Dave Hill is a Renaissance man, dabbling in a number of different persuasions. He's written for The New York Times and Huffington Post, contributed to NPR's This American Life, played in the band Diamondsnake with Moby, and turned out numerous performances on Comedy Central, VH1 and Adult Swim. This year he adds another trade to his lengthy résumé: author of a new book, Tasteful Nudes: ...and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation (St. Martin's, May 22).
Tonight, the multi-tasker performs at Tin Angel. But before that, he chatted with me about how he stumbled into comedy, his favorite tunes and who he's voting for in the Republican primaries.
Asking the non-musical question, I Love Being Me, Don't You?, Sandra Bernhard had her fans eating out of her hand at the Painted Bride Wednesday night. On the rainy evening, she delivered on her promise to "make it sunny and bright," opening with a kick-ass rendition of Neil Sedaka's "Laughter in the Rain" that dripped with irony.
Taking on topics as diverse as her Mitral valve prolapse (and crush on her cardiologist) and raising her teenage daughter to name-dropping the only two people allowed to smoke in her apartment — Liza Minnelli and Chrissie Hynde, no less — Bernhard was revealing, unafraid to expose herself and her insecurities.
But Bernhard is also prone to puncture holes in "fakers," and she memorably lacerated Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford and Gywneth Paltrow for their lame product lines and self-aggrandizing sense of being. The comedian's irritation toward Bristol Palin and Jessica Simpson's Fancy Nights fragrance may be expected, but these remarks still produced laughs because of her excellent delivery and amusing facial expressions. Her keen sense of comic timing was on display throughout the night; she never held the joke too long. All of her schtick stuck.
Backed by a trio of fine musicians, Bernhard's musical numbers were the highlight of the show. She sang a few bars of Joni Mitchell's "Ladies of the Canyon" and encouraged the audience to sing along to the 1973 Eurovision hit "Eres Tu," which she performed in Spanish. While Bernard closed with REO Speedwagon's "I Can't Fight this Feeling," it was her knockout encore — a medley of gun songs — that truly distinguished I Love Being Me, Don't You? For it featured Bernhard in just a porkpie hat, t-shirt and stockings, strutting her stuff with panache. And everyone loving every minute of it.

New Year's resolutions are generally supposed to be committed to before Jan. 1, but if I know my fellow rag-tag band of Philly comedy fans, you're all a week late on coming up with one, and most of you don't give a shit
Still, the time is nigh for Philly to take it's place on the cultural map of the country's various entertainment hotspots — Chicago has improv, New Orleans has jazz, NYC has Broadway and Arizona's Grand Canyon State Park has synchronized long-distance urination (I know you think I'm making this stuff up, but trust me, post-Katrina N'awlins STILL has jazz!).
Some day, Philly will be known for its independant comedy scene. But we can't do this simply with lots and lots of talented, hardworking local comedians — which we have in droves! More importantly, we need a city that cares about laughter. We need audience members. I've sat in entirely too many audiences as one of nine people, four of which were other comics, and the rest comedians' significant others. We need members of the general population willing to be entertained on a Thursday night — for like five bucks.
Every Friday, Ryan Carey covers the people and events that are giving Philly the giggles.
Tonight, on the second floor of Manayunk's Grape Room, a select group of Philly comics will perform in Fighting Burrito Comedy Showcase (named after organizer Nicole Yates' Fantasy Football team). The evening will be headlined by James Hesky, now in his third year as a Philly comedian to be reckoned with. You should check out his podcast, Cheapodcast, co-hosted by fellow Philly joke giant Darry Charles, which soon celebrates its one-year anniversary.
Yates, is hosting the show, and she had a few hilarious things to say about her lineup:
Jim Grammond — "Jim's standup is smart, silly and funny all at once. He gets his ideas when his tattoos whisper to him in his sleep."
Carolyn Busa — "Carolyn crafts jokes that zig, zag and scratch; that itch you while being awesome and loving owls."
Following a sold-out show at Helium Comedy Club, Gary Gulman of Last Comic Standing fame finds himself somewhere between the in-your-face crudeness of Chris Rock and the "kids say the darndest things" innocence of Bill Cosby. And, to my own surprise, that isn't necessarily such a bad thing.
Gulman's hourlong act was a hodgepodge of jokes ranging from the comedic absurdities of today's economic climate ("Everything on the bottom rack of the cart is free," says Gulman) to explaining why Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz is "a bitch."
Yet what made Gulman's act so entertaining was not the handful of scurrilous quips thrown out, but the refreshing stray from the norm by not relying on cliché lines about sex or racial boundaries to pluck laughs from the audience. Glancing back at the crowd, most seemed more than content wiping away tears from laughing at jokes about Blockbuster being "filth" or, my personal favorite, an all-too-true rant about the wonders of shopping malls.
Every Friday, Ryan Carey covers the people and events that are giving Philly the giggles.
You probably know Gary Gulman, appearing tonight and tomorrow at Helium Comedy Club, from his third place win on season two of Last Comic Standing or as a performer on Dane Cook's Tourgasm (easy hipsters, just because you hate D.C. doesn't me he didn't have some outstanding comedians in his entourage). This week, I shot the shoot with him about his favorite comedians, Donald Trump and why he likes to hide in bushes.
City Paper: What was it like being a guest of Philly-native podcaster-extraordinaire Todd Glass?
Gary Gulman: It's very similar to hanging around with Todd Glass at his house or backstage before the show. He does real funny things and plays silly games. Once he shoved a whole box of white Tic Tacs in his mouth and started [spitting them out] and complaining about losing his teeth. I did a show with him one time when his mom was there. He pushed [her] into the Green Room where we were all gathered before the show, and said in a high voice, "Hi, I'm Todd's mom, who wants to sleep with me?" His whole life is like an extended performance art piece. I laugh so hard around him. [When we were on] Last Comic Standing, some people were put off by this guy who's "always on." But there's no off switch. He's so much fun, he takes over any show he's on. Not in an obnoxious, aggressive way. He brings his own headspace and attitude. I went to the Patrice O'Neal memorial service in NYC, and it was the most unique funeral you'll ever be at, because there were comedians speaking in tribute to him. As sad as it was, there were huge laughs, insults and ripping, touching and heartbreaking. I felt really lucky that these were my colleagues.
CP: Are you a big reader? What kind of books do you like?
GG: I try to read fifty books a year. This year I'm on pace for about thirty-five or so. I like to read nonfiction — Malcolm Gladwell, Michael Lewis — or sports books. I use the library to save money by listening to a lot of books on CD while I'm driving.
CP: Are you happy that all these GOP candidates are snubbing the Donald Trump debate?
Every Friday, Philebrity Award-nominee Ryan Carey reports on who and what's giving Philly the tee-hee-hees.
Last night I enjoyed a mixed show of pro-wrestling joke-slingers and local comedians at Connie's Ric Rac for Delaware County comedy-booker Thomas H. Robinson III's 42nd birthday. To all you wrestling fans who missed out because you preferred to get your laughs from the Eagles, allow me to invoke a classic Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) chant: "YOU F*CKED UP! YOU F*CKED UP!"
In true style of independent Philly comedy, attendance was low but spirits were high. The show was hosted by ECW favorite — the lyrical miracle and the sexual intellectual — Joel [insert dirty limerick here] Gertner. Off-stage, Gertner was quieter, more laid back and — for what it's worth — way younger looking than I expected. On-stage, he was inappropriate, loud and hilarious as ever.
215 comedy favorites Benny Michaels and Jim Grammond ranted about their shortcomings in marriage, getting laughs for about ten minutes each. After that, the king of old-school and former ECW heavyweight champ Steve Corino amused us with tales of his, uh, exploits during his wrestling tours through Japan. Note: Stay away from any pay-for-companionship situations in that country.
Finally, we got to see hilarious local headliner Pat Barker (pictured). Barker, recently back from touring the West Coast, is hands down one of the funniest comedians we have in town. He gets big laughs with stories about how playing slots makes him a lame, degenerate gambler and how his Dad exaggerates when he reports on a McDonalds employee screwing up his order. Barker's consistently been one of the best Philly headliners for years now. Some comedians have more talent than skill, others vice versa. Pat Barker has that ideal combination of inner spark and outer polish that makes him a legit standout piercing through Philly's increasingly energetic comedy community.

Man Cave is a testosterone-laden Monday feature that highlights the weekend haps of a pop culture-loving Philly dude.
Parks and Recreation's Adam Scott (perhaps best known for his role as the über-successful jerk brother from Stepbrothers) was interviewed on WTF with Marc Maron. One of the topics they covered was Party Down, the 2009 Starz series that he starred in. They talked a lot about the show, so I decided to utilize my extended weekend to Netflix of season one. Scott plays a failed actor, the "straight man" amongst a dysfunctional catering service filled with Hollywood wannabes and has-beens. Like many critically acclaimed cable shows, the series is slow to get moving; the opening episodes are all premise. But once all the characters are in gear, laughs flow abundantly over the underlying context of the ultimate Hollywood nightmare.
Let's check out the rest of the ensemble:
Ken Marino as Ron Donald: This The State alum is the manager, working side-by-side with his L.A. catering misfits. He has perhaps the most modest life dream of all the crew: to open a soup and salad franchise — and even that's proving unlikely in modern Hollywood. He is all positive energy and customers-first. He is also the only person on the show who cares about the catering business.
Lizzy Caplan as Casey: You may have seen Caplan in Mean Girls, Cloverfield and True Blood. Here, she plays a frustrated standup comic who frequently complains about the not-very-funny side of show business and may or may not be an Adam Scott love interest.
Every Friday, Ryan Carey covers the people and events that are giving Philly the giggles.
Philly Improv Theater's (PHIT) education director Mike Marbach created Sideshow Showcase, a new improv show at the Arts Parlor for those weekends when PHIT is not scheduled at the Shubin Theatre.
"The point [of the show] is to give people a chance to grow, rather than keep doing the exact same thing they always do," says Marbach, who has experience directing the PHIT house team Asteroid. "I want to challenge the groups to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. Also, I want there to be a good opportunity for new groups to perform. I don't necessarily want peoples' first time on stage to be at a pressure-filled show where they might be getting judged — like PHIT's Cage Match, or a high-profile festival show."
Marbach has set up the Arts Parlor (a large dance studio) with folding chairs and a performance area where teams can be blacked out. The Sideshow Showcase can seat around forty, plus standing room.
This week's show features Iron Lung, a witout.net nominee for best improv group, who will be debuting their new style of long-form that they've been developing under the tutelage of ImprovBoston's Steve Kleinedler. I'm not allowed to say what it is, but Iron Lung's Jesse Carpenter says it's something that's "never been done … in Philly."
Also on the performance slate is improv darlings Aaron Hertzog and Becca Trabin's Get a Room, Temple's resident improv troupe Fowl Play, and the debut of a brand new Philly improv team.
Tonight, 8 p.m., $5, Arts Parlor, 1170 S. Broad St.

Arnada street mural gets a fresh coat of paint
Wednesday, August 31, 2011
Arnada — About 20 neighbors worked together Aug. 13 to refresh the Arnada street mural, at D and 22nd streets. Residents spent the day repainting the mural and sharing in a potluck lunch. The Arnada mural was the first street mural in Vancouver designed to slow traffic. The concept worked well when the mural was first installed but as it fades, its impact fades as well, said Russ Pasco, vice chair of the neighborhood association. Pasco said he can see the mural from his second-story window. This is the third time the mural has been repainted since it was first created in 2008. Each time it gets renewed, the mural's effectiveness is renewed, as well.
