On tap it pours very cloudy with a two finger eggshell white head. The smell coming from this beer is pretty fantastic. Lots of traditional clove, citrus and banana esters. The one nice addition is the smokey quality that makes me think I could be having this wheat beer around a campfire.
Taste sets this really apart from all other wheat/hefe and smoked beers. The combination of clove, subtle hefeweizen yeast, citrus with a hint of banana is great on its own. Add in the campfire like smoked meat notes that aren't oveowering and you get a really great combo. It's very crisp and refreshing but has the added body. Aftertaste leaves you with a pleasant smoked meats and wood note.
Overall, I've had this before and will have it again. It's a must try for fans of smoked beers and wheat ones at that.

On tap at Bootlegger's Brewery in Fullerton, CA.
Pours a murky honey orange with an orange-tan head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of smoked wheat and slight campfire aromas. Taste is the same but the smoke is pretty mild flavor wise. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is easy to drink.

Pours cloudy gold with hints of orange. The traditional huge, never ending, fluffy white head ensues. At the bottom of the bottle the yeast intensifies this aspect, adding a light brown color.
Smells exactly like California during a wildfire. Unfortunately, it overpowers the wheat aspect, and while it's there, it's hard to pick up the sweet grassy smell I expect in a wheat. Then again, I like smoke beers, so this is all good.
Taste is surprisingly mellow. Some smoke, some grassy wheat tones. Nothing exciting here, just solid.
Feels like a wheat, bubbly and light, slightly tangy. The smoke doesn't make this difficult to drink.
Looks great, smells great, tastes kind of mild, feels great. They missed the most important part, doh. Just wish it had a touch more flavor, either smoke or wheat, doesn't matter which.

nice dark brown with a head of tan that reaches a height of around an inch or so before settling back down and leaving some nice lacing along the sides.
Aroma is full of campfire smoke right off the bat. I had been expecting it but it really came off quite strong and full. Really nicely done here I have to admit. Nice notes of light chocolate and big roasted malts are always a welcome treat. Flavor carries this over quite well as the chocolate and earthy notes lay underneath that wonderful smoky campfire like flavor that leaves a long finish

Bottle to Mug

App- Darker orange with some yellow highlights. Huge two finger head with a line of cling around edges. Leaves a small layer of bubbles on the top of the beer.
Smell- There are a ton of smells in this glass. I get IPA, wheat beer and some smoke beer notes. It's malty, citrusy, toasty, and more.
Taste- I'm not the most apt to like smoke beer but this was a lot more tame and I was quite happy. It has some citrus notes and some malts and is like a faded IPA with some wheat on the back.
Mouth- Medium bodied and medium carbonated. A bit roasty and malty with a touch of smoke
Drink- Overall a lot better than I thought. The smoke was very tame and a lot more layers unfolded. A well done beer. Earns a better grade than I was gonna give.

Pours a hazy orange-brown with a short bubbly white head. Low retention and lacing.
Here's where the beer begins to be unlike any other. The first note on the nose for me was a smoky bacon. Also yeasty bread. And a touch of banana.
The flavor was Very unique and different from any beer I've ever had. Honestly if you took the smell of the wildfires we get here in southern CA and put it into a beer, that is the flavor spot on. It doesn't sound good when explained but it is actually pretty good. There's a sunflower seed like aftertaste as well.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied. Surprisingly crisp.
Overall this beer is flat out Interesting. The most different beer I've ever had. That being said, it's not bad. It's just hard to say how good it is. But it is pretty good.

Look: Burnt orange color with 1/4 inch white bubbly head and no retentino but it does have some lacing
Smell: very fruity wheat smell im getting hints of apricot in this. Also has some bready yeast notes.
Taste: Funky smoked flavor that honestly reminds me of what a california brush fire smells like. If you live in california you will understand what I am talking about
Mouthfeel: medium body medium carbonation
Overall: This is hands down one of the most unique beers I have ever had. It's not bad and it's not great. I guess I would only describe it as interesting and worth a try.

Appears a dark golden color. Smells of smoke with a little bit of sweetness coming through. The first taste to hit my palate was the smokiness followed by the sweetness. This beer almost has the sweetness of a Belgian golden ale which makes for an odd combination with the smoke. It is certainly an interesting combination though. The mouthfeel is not too heavy but still satisfying. This is a pleasant session beer. I don't know that I would buy another bottle but if I was somewhere where it was on draft I wouldn't hesitate to order one.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence police are searching for three men who broke into a house in Elmhurst, tied up the resident, and robbed him early Tuesday.
Berndt Anderson, 63, was awakened around midnight by a man rummaging in his bedroom at 130 Arbor Drive, according to a police report. Anderson told police that he chased the man out, but was confronted by two other men in the house -- one who appeared to have a gun.
The men tied him with an electrical cord and black tape, and stole money, his cell phone, a TV, and his 2011 Toyota Rav4.
After the men left, Anderson broke his restraints and called police, said Detective Charles Boranian.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Boranian, (401) 243-6322.

Step 3: Print
As the ink does not stick to the tape, you will be able to transfer it to any surface it comes in contact with.
Step 4: Transfer
Do it once without shaking
Step 5: Results
Depending on the print quality (the better quality the more ink you get) you will be able to reuse a transfer two to three times.
- Try it on something else than your skin : use it as an instant rubber stamp...
- Make a portable version: once the tape is printed you can cut around and use it anywhere
- Clean & Repeat : using a tissue or a piece of cloth, clean the taped area and reuse it over and over again...
- Draw directly on the tape using a non permanent marker pen
Have fun!
second time it was much better but still smudged quite a bit it looked like i had a bloody bite mark rather than Madara Uchiha's sharingan eye.(from the Naruto anime)
not sure if i will try it again though...
Clear bandage spray, hairspray... If it can protect the stamp from the outside world then it can definitely make it last longer
How long after you print it is it useable? Does it still work after it dried?
I wonder if this would work with acetate sheets for an overhead projector. (I use them with a laser printer to put designs onto metal.)
It is such an intriguing idea.
Once I used it 2 hours after printing and I got the same result. As the ink contains mostly water and solvent, I wouldn't let it dry for too long though.
I'm curious about the acetate sheets, tell me how it turns out.
1st it's a tiny amount anyway but more important:
The solvent in ink is the same as alcohol based antiseptic wipes.
The dyes need to be long lived, to do so makers chose long chain molecules that have very low reactivity.
They will not make it through the cuticle (out hard layer of skin).
Mostly - do take small risks or you'll miss all the fun. My family motto is -
Tantum Te Paenitebit Infectorum; which means
You will only regret what you didn't do.
Toner can give you allergy or a gently poison your blood (like Van Gogh)
This worked well to get your under-age buddy in! Just lick & transfer.
2) How many times can you use the "tatoo" from the tape?
2) 2-3 times. For instance, the robot on the pictures above has been used twice on two different people
Where ? When ?... ;D
Nice project.

When it's all over but the shoutin'
When God the Father's done his final accounting
And I find out that I made the cut
Boys i'm gonna get me a chariot
Yeah a big gold eagle on the hood
Trans Am chariot
Gonna find my great granddaddy
That peace pipe smokin' Cherokee
Gonna get him all schooled
In them mags and struts
Then we gonna drag us a chariot
Yeah a big gold eagle painted on the hood chariot
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/gretchen-wilson-chariot-lyrics.html ]
Good lord Witchita
Sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck you better out run him
Damn sure don't wanna get caught
Crime what crime
We was all hopped up on new wine
And mama's gonna kill me if I get
Kicked out of the choir
But you just gotta run them chariots
Now here's a little story happened long ago
One day Ezekiel went out for a stroll
Walkin' by the river low and behold
Down came 4 angels in a Cadillac gold
He said "swing down sweet chariot come on and give me a ride"
So they scooped em up, the rig was souped up, man it had TV's inside
Ol' Zeke was surprised cause his eyes had seen beyond
His wildest dreams, He'd go on to see a thousand things
We'll paint that number eight on the driver's side
That's how old I was when I gave Jesus my life
I stepped right up and got washed in the blood
Just a little kid singin' 'bout a chariot
When it's all over but the shoutin'...

FREDERICTON, N.B. – The lack of money for new road projects in the provincial capital budget is causing a stir in the legislature.
The Official Opposition is upset that money hasn't been budgeted for Highway 11 between Shediac and Miramichi.
But Claude Williams, minister of transportation, says the project is part of a cost-sharing project with the federal government, and the money budgeted for it is gone.
He says the province is currently trying to secure another agreement with Ottawa for funding so work can begin.
The project was originally announced by the Shawn Graham government.
No money for Highway 11 in budget

New home permits rise, but headwinds persist
New home permits increase 2.5 percent, but remain below levels of a year ago. New home permits are down nearly 80 percent from their 2005 peak.
Today's New Residential Construction Report showed slight increases to both single family permits and starts from last month and notable declines from last year while the new home market remains historically distressed.

Single family housing permits, the most leading of indicators, increased 2.5% on a month-to-month basis to 405K single family units (SAAR), dropping a notable 6.90% below the level seen in May 2010 and an astonishing 77.47% below the peak in September 2005.
Single family housing starts increased 3.7% to 419K units (SAAR), dropping 8.91% below the level seen in May 2010 and a stunning 77.02% below the peak set in early 2006.
With the substantial headwinds of elevated unemployment, epic levels of foreclosure and delinquency, mounting bankruptcies, contracting consumer credit, and falling real wages, an overhang of inventory and still falling home prices, the environment for "organic" home sales remains weak and likely very fragile.

Share this news story The German producer will release his third album in May. Vincenzo will release his next LP through Steve Bug's Dessous Recordings. 2002's Welcome to Zanarkand was the Italian-German's last full-length release. As he tells it, the reason behind such a long gap between albums was due to doubt—he didn't know exactly what he wanted to do. Perhaps as a result, Wherever I Lay My Head will reportedly not be dance floor-focused. Instead, Vincenzo says the 13-track album is geared towards home-listening and honesty. The press release offers a similar sentiment, talking about vintage percussion, emotional melodies and an "almost spiritual journey." Tracklist 01. Hello! feat. Lisa Shaw 02. Tasmania 03. The Clearing 04. Keep Moving feat. Lisa Shaw 05. Weights & Measures 06. Seduction (Album Version) 07. Baited Breath 08. Where You Are (Album Version) 09. 106 Downtown 10. Calimero 11.

You should read the article in this week's New Yorker titled, "Don't! The secret of self-control." It follows the lives of children who were asked to perform a delayed gratification test in the late 60s. Children who were able to refocus their thoughts or control themselves met with greater success as adults. The gotta have it now group had more trouble studying, had more trouble with obesity, and often bounced from one career to another.
I also like the Seinfeld where George becomes a genius when he abstains from sex, while Elaine becomes stupid.

As a comparison, here are Arroyo's numbers for the same three seasons (his 2nd thru 4th minor league years). All were starts except one relief appearance in season three.
26 games, 135.2 innings
24 games, 160.1 innings
23 games, 127.0 innings
I'll leave the call to others who are more familiar with what a heavy workload is.
That is good info.
It would be interesting to see how many pitches Leake threw in those complete games. There are two ways to overwork a pitcher. Too many innings in a season without sufficient rest between outings, and too many pitches in a game (or even an inning). Things like insufficient time to warm up, pitching while hurt or fatigued, or poor mechanics also affect how much you can throw without being overworked.
One additional factor is the pro season is much longer than the brief college season, so those innings were likely spread out more thinly for Arroyo than Leake.

text: When we first met Milagros, the little girl had already become a symbol of hope for people around the world. Milagros was born with a rare genetic disorder called sirenomelia, also known as "mermaid syndrome." Her legs were born fused together and she had no external genitalia. Most babies with this condition die during birth or before they are born. When her parents, Ricardo and Sara, first saw their newborn, they were afraid they had been cursed. "When I finally saw her and saw her little legs, I was shaking and crying," Sara says. "All I could do was cry." Ricardo and Sara refused to give up hope for their daughter and even named her Milagros, meaning "miracles" in Spanish. Despite the odds against her, Milagros lived to see her first birthday. But without surgery to separate her legs, doctors said she wouldn't live much longer. After a five-hour surgery, Ricardo and Sara, along with the rest of the world watching on live TV, received the miraculous news—Milagros survived the rare and dangerous operation. |

The idea that only a British director such as Steve McQueen with British stars could have made Hollywood confront America's slavery legacy is a popular one with fans of UK cinema. But is there any foundation for it?
The bookies, at least, are of one mind: Sunday's Oscars victor will be either Gravity or 12 Years a Slave. The space spectacular must surely rank as the greatest-ever achievement of British film craftsmanship; the Louisiana-set drama doesn't even qualify as a UK film. Nonetheless, Britain's cinema chauvinists aren't all rooting for Gravity. There is something about its rival that inspires yet fiercer patriotism.
Of course, unlike Gravity, Slave features British stars. But that doesn't fully explain its hold on British hearts. Something else is involved: after decades of guilty silence from Hollywood, many believe, a British director has laid bare America's historic shame. Steve McQueen's feat is thus a rare transatlantic putdown of the swaggering yanks. »

John Singleton is back onboard the Tupac Shakur biopic. He has been hired to rewrite, direct and produce the untitled project.
Singleton announced the news on twitter, saying: "The time has come to tell your story. I promise to keep it real and true to your sould. Bigg Js50 Niggaaz/Thug Life."
The film follows the rapper's rise to being one of the most popular MCs as well as his increased participation in the East Coast-West Coast Rap rivalry, and his death on September 7, 1996 when he was gunned down on a street corner in Las Vegas, where he died 6 days later. His murder was never solved.
"Tupac was the guy who I planned to do a lifetime of films with," Singleton said. "His passing deeply affected my life as well as countless people in this world. His life story is as important to my generation."

The late director David R. Ellis was supposed to reteam with his Snakes on a Plane star for a live-action adaptation of the Japanese anime movie Kite. But since he died just before production was supposed to begin, South African director Ralph Ziman (Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema) had to take over the project. It's been a year since then, and now it sounds like the project is gearing up for the big screen release as Bloody Disgusting has gotten ahold of an early trailer for the film introduced by star Samuel L. Jackson, proclaiming his affection for the original work. There seems to be some cool action, but Jackson could just as easily be playing Shaft again in this film and there wouldn't be much of a difference. Watch it!

There continues to be talk of the all-women version of The Expendables, so why not an all-black version? Actually, there already kinda was one way back in 1996. Blaxploitation stars Fred Williamson (Black Caesar; Hell Up in Harlem), Pam Grier (Foxy Brown; Coffy), Jim Brown (Slaughter; The Dirty Dozen), Ron O'Neal (Super Fly) and Richard Roundtree (Shaft) and director Larry Cohen (Black Caesar; Hell Up in Harlem) came together for a movie titled Original Gangstas. It was sort of what The Expendables is all about now — nostalgia for the action movies of the '80s and early '90s with a round up of legendary action heroes who are now middle-aged or older — but then, it was in tribute to the African-American-focused genre of the '70s as well as an answer to the rise of the urban crime films that broke out through the early work of John Singleton, the Hughes Brothers and Mario Van Peebles, the »

Sources of Stereotyped Images of the Mentally Ill
Fischoff, Ph.D.
Journal of Media Psychology, Volume1, Number 1, Winter 1996, 4-11
The entertainment media of film,
television and a variety of print outlets serve many functions for people
including entertainment, information, and escapism.Ý One function less widely discussed is the
formation of stereotypes for different classes of people, e.g., criminals,
heroes, racial minorities and the mentally ill.Ý
Previous research has shown that the general public's images
of the mentally ill derive from sources radically different from images held by
mental health professionals.Ý Wahl
(1993), for example, has noted that novels about serial killers are a prime
information source for many people.Ý The
novelists, Wahl argues, inaccurately suggest that serial killers tend to be
psychotic and they present unrealistic composites of symptoms, which are likely
to mislead readers about serious mental illness.Ý
Not the least of these misconceptions is that the seriously
mentally ill are particularly brutal and dangerous.Ý According to a recent content analysis of
prime time television dramas of the frequency with which both ìnormalsî and
mentally ill are portrayed as violent, fully 70% of mentally ill are portrayed
as violent, while only 42% of ìnormalsî are so portrayed.Ý This incidence of television violence among
the mentally ill is hugely disproportionate to real numbers in society and
contributes to the stigma of mental illness (Gerbner, 1993). Ý.
Most recently,
Similarly, when people are asked
to imagine a person suffering from a multiple personality disorder (MPD), it is
likely that visions of the actress Sally Field (Sybil, 1976) or Joanne Woodward (Three Faces of Eve, 1957) are conjured up.Ý After all, how many people have actually
confronted someone suffering from MPD?Ý
It is duly noted, however, that over the past five years, many
self-described MPD sufferers have paraded across the stages of tabloid talk
shows.Ý For many viewers, then, it is the
talk show circus, not the theatrical or television motion picture that is the
primary source of stereotypes of the mentally ill.
Research amply substantiates the
importance of the role of the entertainment media in stereotype formation.Ý According to a 1990 Robert Wood
Johnson Survey (as cited in Blanch & Penny, 1993), the public identifies the mass
media as their major source of information on mental disorders.Ý Nancy Signorielli (1989),
tracked the presence of the mentally ill on prime time television.Ý She found that 20% of the shows involved some
depiction of mental illness and that the mentally ill were disproportionately
involved as perpetrators or victims of violence.Ý Moreover, when depicted on television, the
mentally ill were more likely to be portrayed as evil or bad and less likely to
be portrayed as good than were ìnormals.îÝ From a different angle, research (Domino,
1983) showed that watching major motion pictures which featured characters who were mentally ill produced an increase in negative
attitudes toward the mentally ill.Ý
Studies by Ed Tan (1992) and Dolf
Zillmann (1991) indicate that, compared to textual presentations, movies are a
more influential and largely non-cognitive source of information and
emotionally arousing imagery.Ý Movies
adhere more to the demands of dramatic license than to the pleas for accurate
portrayals of mental illness.Ý It is not
surprising then, that studies show that the mass media are highly influential
in the formation of stereotypes of the mentally ill and that these stereotypes
tend to be skewed toward inaccurate and negative characterizations.
The present study explored three
RQ1: If college
education is an antidote to ignorance, does exposure to more accurate
information about the nature of mental illness and its diverse manifestations
via classroom instruction offset distorting media impact?Ý
RQ2: Are sources of
information other than film and TV, viz., print and personal experiences,
differentially important in terms of impact on stereotypes?
RQ3: Insofar as
serious mental illness is as uncommon in the lives of most people as felonious
criminality, are the mass media more or less potent as a source of stereotypes
of criminals as compared to stereotypes of the mentally ill?
Responses from 348 male and female students from
Subjects were given an 11-item, open-ended survey, which had
been pretested for clarity of understanding on a pilot sample of 100
respondents.Ý The subjects were asked to
look at each type of category of person, conjure up an image in their heads of
what this person looked like and then indicate the primary information source
from which that image was derived.Ý The
term stereotype derives from the notion that the images conjured up are
pictures in one's head and serve as a prototype for such categories in the
absence of a specific person as a stimulus object.
A content analysis sorted responses into one of three
predetermined categories: Film/television, print media, and personal
experience.Ý Print media included such
information sources as newspapers, magazines, class texts or books read on
one's own.Ý Personal experience included
work settings such as hospitals or social service agencies, relations with
family or friends or simply seeing people on the street discerned as criminal
or mentally ill.
If respondents, as they occasionally did, listed more than
one information source, only the first source listed was tabulated.Ý This held the number of responses/subject
constant and was based on the assumption that the first source listed was the
principal information source.
In order to contrast stereotypes of mental illness with
other social stereotypes, in addition to the eight mental illness categories
(schizophrenic, homicidal maniac, multiple personality disorder - MPD,
obsessive-compulsive, mental patient, heroin addict and alcoholic) three more
fairly common anti-social types were included: pimp, drug dealer and
murderer.Ý Criminal types are frequently
depicted in the mass media;Ý
Does the media stereotype machine work harder on images of the
mentally ill or on images of criminals?.

Results of the survey (see Table
1 above) clearly indicate that there is a significant difference between
informational sources for stereotypes of the mentally ill (MI), χ2=422.62, p < .001.Ý TV and Film are the most influential source
of such stereotypes with Personal Experience (PE) and Print coming in 2nd and
3rd respectively.Ý Among individual
categories of MI, it is also clear that stereotypes for manic-depressives and
obsessive-compulsives are only slightly more likely to be influenced by Film
and TV than by either PE or Print.
Interestingly, the only dramatic
reversal of these source trends concerns the MI category of Alcoholic where PE
was cited by 236 respondents (79%).Ý
Content analysis of the responses indicated that 136 of these
respondents (53%) mentioned family and friends as information sources while 100
(40%) mentioned observing people on the streets.Ý The remaining 7% derived from work settings.Ý Clearly reliance on the media for sources of
stereotypes is diminished for so wide-spread a social affliction as alcoholism.
Results for sources of criminal
stereotypes are even more dramatically skewed in the direction of Film and TV
than they were for MI, χ2 = 769.34, p < .001.Ý However, whereas stereotypes for murderers
and pimps derive primarily from Film and TV, PE comes in a close second as an
information source for drug dealers (53% and 45% for Film and TV and PE
respectively).Ý As with alcoholics, drug
dealers are hardly exotic, at least on the streets of major urban areas such as
In terms of the differential
importance of Film and TV to various stereotypes, results of additional
chi-square analyses reveal that TV dominates Film as an information source
across all MI categories (66% vs. 34% for TV and Film respectively, χ2 = 82.01, p < .001).Ý This was true in all but three MI categories:
schizophrenia, mental patient, and MPD, where the differences between the two
media sources are negligible.Ý In all
other categories of MI and criminality, TV holds sway, χ2 = 112.09, p < .001.Ý It is worth noting that content analysis of
responses revealed that stereotype images from TV predominantly come from talk
shows such as "Oprah" or from TV news.Ý
The results of the present survey on informational sources
of stereotypes of both the mentally ill and criminals indicate that, in the
vast majority of stereotypes people have about these social categories, TV and
film are the dominant sources of information.
Data also suggest that the impact of TV and film is more
potent for criminal stereotypes than for mentally ill stereotypes.Ý In part this seems to be due to the
infrequency with which most people come in personal contact with criminals such
as murderers and pimps, although personal contact does account for 45% of the
stereotypes of drug addicts.
As regards stereotypes of the mentally ill, two out of nine
stereotypes, for manic-depressives and obsessive-compulsives, the mean
differences between information sources were less robust, suggesting that these
types of mentally illness do not generate typifications as salient as they do
for other MI categories.Ý The most
dramatic stereotype of the mentally ill occurred for homicidal maniac, where
84% of the respondents indicated it derived from film and TV.Ý Paralleling this result for criminals, the
category of murderer was also sourced most substantially from film and TV.
It is not surprising that the results of the present survey
support both empirically-based (e.g., Gerbner, 1993; Roth & Wahl, 1982;
Wahl, 1995) data and essays in persuasion (e.g., Fischoff, 1993) about the
informational sources of stereotypes of the mentally ill.Ý What is surprising is,
that for a college population of students in psychology courses, the impact of
print and textbooks did not carry more weight.Ý
This would suggest that for a non-college educated population, the
results may be even more dramatically biased in the direction of film and TV as
major sources for stereotypes about the mentally ill.Ý
What does a narrow source of stereotypes imply?Ý Concerns expressed about the misinformation film and TV disseminate are justified.Ý Two principal motives drive the entertainment mediaís use of stereotyped images.Ý One, obviously, is for dramatic interest.Ý The other is in pursuit of higherÝ television ratings.Ý This is, alas, frequently accomplished by ìfloggingî the events and lurid images surrounding sensational crimes such as those committed by Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson and his ìfamily.îÝ This media hype inevitably contributes to fattening the collective repository of misinformation regarding mental illnessñand criminalityñthat is embedded in the American psyche.Ý
The present study did not ask respondents to describe the stereotypes they mentally generated.Ý Yet, it seems safe to assume that, since the stereotypes of the mentally ill are largely derived from film and TV, these images would be more exaggerated, more dramatic and less realistic than the actual people who are victims of such illnesses.Ý By the same token, when it comes to villains on screens, images will also be more dramatic and less realistic than those in the real world who are disposed to criminal behavior (Fischoff, 1995).Ý
Mental images created by film have been found to evoke more dominating responses than images evoked by text (Tan, 1992).Ý Emotions connected with these visual images lead to self-protective or self-interested behavior such as voting against or protesting halfway houses for the mentally ill in oneís own community (Bridge and Medvene,1990).Ý This reluctance to accept a halfway house in oneís neighborhood has come to be known as the NIMBY reaction (ìnot in my back yardî).ÝÝ
It seems richly evident that film and television portrayals of the mentally ill are more powerful than print information in generating and inculcating inaccurate cognitive stereotypes and defensive emotional cues for social perception and social acceptance of the non-violent mentally ill.Ý And, as the present results indicate this is true even for college students in psychology who ought to know better!Ý
In the end, when it comes to the battle between text and image, image bestrides the world like a colossus.Ý People will remember the image of a leering Jack Nicholson, a crazed, homicidal maniac, fire ax in hand, peering into the gape of a bathroom, quicker than some article in the New York Times chronicling the travails of the woebegotten psychotic street person on 43rd street and Broadway who is more terrified of the world than the world should ever be of him.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Texas A&M pitcher Daniel Mengden was one of 16 players named to the SEC Baseball Tournament All-Tournament Team as voted on by the media in attendance the league announced on Sunday evening.
Mengden delivered a complete-game performance in the Aggies' tournament opening win over Florida. The northpaw allowed three runs, just one earned, scattering five hits and one walk while posting a career-high 11 strikeouts in the 6-3 victory. It was his second consecutive complete-game and his fourth consecutive win. In all four victories during the stretch, Mengden has allowed just one run while pitching at least 8.0 innings.
Third baseman Hunter Melton was a notable omission from the team despite being the only player to hit multiple home runs at the tournament and leading the Aggies with six RBI. He also delivered hits that gave A&M the lead in a game on four separate occasions. He was edged out by LSU's Christian Ibarra.
LSU closer Chris Cotton was named the tournament's most valuable player.

I'm looking for some insight on the topic but first a bit about my son. Sorry if this is long! DS just turned 5 and we (along with his teacher) believe he is gifted. No formal testing has been completed yet but he certainly meets many of the typical markers i.e. knew letters/numbers by 16 months, strong interest in letters/numbers, has a remarkable memory, speech was early and spoke in sentences at a young age, continues to speak very well with a large vocabulary, early with most fine motor and gross motor milestones and currently reading at a Grade 2 level. DS also has many other atypical characteristics that I'm learning can also be a part of being gifted...but I know they can also be signs of other exceptionalities. He has some sensory issues (i.e. covers ears for hand blowers and public toilet flushes but no other loud noises, doesn't like tags in his shirts, is ALWAYS moving and likes to hang upside down off our couch). I'm addressing the sensory issues by doing some heavy work activities with him which helps a bit. Socially - he loves hanging out with other kids. He is always asking me if he can play with his friends and really enjoys their company. That being said - I do find that during play dates he will sometimes go off on his own to play and needs some gentle reminders that his friend is over to play with him and then he will right away go over and ask them to play hide and seek or some other engaging activity. Imaginary play is something he has struggled with a bit - but through demonstration from me/DH or watching other kids at school (he is the oldest) he seems to have made some great progress there. His teacher has no concerns with him at all and her only comment she has made is that he is a "bit wiggly" and at times when he is very focused on an activity he does not seem present with the rest of the class. DS is very intense. He tires DH and I out as he moves from one activity to the next and his presence really does dominate the house. He is always reading and telling us facts he has learned and for some reason (maybe its just part of being 5?) he constantly asks us questions about things that he already knows the answer to! I've started just turning those questions back on him :) He is a perfectionist and is EXTREMELY hard on himself. No amount of praise or encouragement I give him will help when he feels he has not done a good job on something. He has a wide range of interests (space/the solar system, dinosaurs, books (right now especially the Mr. Men series of books...he loves drawing the characters and making up new stories with them), writing short little stories, cars (various makes/models), doing word searches, playing games on the computer and loves riding his bike and playing baseball with DH in the backyard). He is really drawn to numbers and seems to find interest in anything that involves numbers. Everything he is interested in he puts his whole self into it. Nothing is a casual interest - its "lets learn every possible thing I can about the subject" not just a casual flip through a book. And there is no one thing he is interested in more than the rest (although when something is new he might be ultra-interested for a few days) and he often goes back to re-visit old interests on a regular basis. That being said he has one interest that is a bit different and others don't understand why it interests him. He is really interested in buildings. He finds it very interesting to look at a building from the inside and then the outside to try and figure out which window leads to which room. Also he loves looking at buildings that have numbered doors (e.g. schools). If we come across one on a walk he will make me walk around the outside with him finding all the numbered doors. Then at home he will build schools with his lego and will number the doors as well (we have lego that has numbers on it). Yesterday when we went for a walk my younger son had pooped and needed a diaper change so we were rushing home and I would not let him walk around the school to look the numbers and he got really upset and angry with me. I've never seen this before - he normally has no issues at all with transitions or changes to our plans. It just got me thinking at what point are these strong interests/passions of gifted children something to be concerned about? At what point is it an indicator of something more going on? Is what I have described typical?

Main Topic
The Torture Memos: Truth and Consequences ()
President Obama says Attorney General Eric Holder will have to decide if lawyers in the Bush Justice Department should be prosecuted for memos justifying harsh interrogation techniques. This week, the Senate Intelligence Committee revealed that dissenting legal views were brushed aside by the Bush White House. The release of the memos has raised a host of troubling questions. Did the memos justify war crimes? Should the lawyers who wrote them be prosecuted? Were the interrogation methods being used before the memos were written? Did the methods, including waterboarding, produce information that made American safer? Would other methods have been more reliable? If Obama says some people should be prosecuted while others are spared, is he "politicizing" the issue? Is he violating the law?

ANC Retains Power in South Africa ()
Despite reports that South African blacks and whites are disenchanted with their government, turnout for yesterday's election was massive. Two other parties challenged the African National Congress of Nelson Mandella. The Democratic Alliance (DA) appeals to white liberals and the Congress of the People (COPE) is composed of former ANC members. Not all the votes have been counted, but it's a resounding victory for the ruling party. Does that mean more of the same? Scott Baldauf is in Johannesburg for the Christian Science Monitor.

I ordered some things from Glassons online recently, I loved that they had 20% off your first online delivery, it did make me buy more than I would have otherwise. Everything I ordered came and it came the next day. The only problem I had with this site is it is very hard to tell the quality of the clothing from the pictures online and I ordered some tights which were cheap, but looked even cheaper and didn't fit like tights should. But otherwise everything was great, nice and easy.
I order from the book depository every month or so, either for myself or for friends and family in Australia. I love the free delivery and that they deliver to NZ as well, which a lot of UK sites don't. They are cheap and I always get what I have ordered no hassles, which is perfect! They have a great range of books, as sometimes my family want some obscure books, and I always find what I am looking for.
I get bored of television and when I want to relax I hop on youtube. I almost always find what I want to look at, and even if I don't, I find so much more I didn't know was on there its great. I also love having something to share with my friends on facebook or just email to a few close friends. Love it.
I live in NZ and was looking to buy a Catit senses massager online, they are super expensive here. I ended up going with Canineconcepts as first of all they delivered to NZ! Secondly their pricing was good and shipping was too expensive or complicated. Also the package arrived when they said it would, which was great. The only downside is I also wanted to order a treat maze at the same time and they didn't have any in stock so I had to shell out the big bucks and get that here.
I love the Portmans site for shopping. The sizing is easy to work out and it ships quickly. There is actually a store right near my work but I prefer to order most things online as I know my size and don't have to bother trying stuff one, I just go in store for jewellery. Its an easy site to use and the pictures of the items are great.
I love sportsgirl. I'm living in NZ and we don't have it here so I have to order online. My orders come quickly and perfectly. The only thing I wish was better was the pictures of their stock. When I order a handbag it is hard to know exactly how big/small it is because they don't show a person holding it and the same with earrings. But other than that I love their range.
I have ordered hair care and skin care with this company a few times and my order always arrives perfectly. It comes in about 2 days which is great and I always get a free gift, which so far have been excellent. 5 stars all the way!
I love google, at work we use the word google now instead of search. We google everything we are looking for, whether its work related, hair product related or just gossip related and we always find what we are looking for. We love Google images too, its great for when you are telling a story but you just need to see it.
It's nice and easy to order, the free shipping is awesome, but the actual clothes were much cheaper quality than I expected.

Over 200 stories were entered. From these submissions, 11 video entries were chosen as finalists based on strength of content and creativity, including one by staff member, Alice Wong in which Alice talks about the importance of PAS services. Alice's entry is titled "Disability Advocacy and the AAPI Experience."
