Single Celebrities
Single Celebrities Who Never Married
There are celebrities and historical figures who've preferred life without marriage and embraced their single lifestyle. Here are a few of our favorites.
If there's one group of people who have raised the collective eyebrow of society more than any other, it's those iconoclasts who have chosen to buck social conventions and never marry — not even once. In this feature, exclusively for Singular magazine, we take a look at the few, the proud, the never-married, and how they illustrate throughout history, a life without marriage can bring singular satisfaction.
Bill Maher
The man has made political satire a media empire. Bill Maher, 56, has had a legendary career as a stand-up comedian, written seven books, helmed three successful television talk shows and wrote, produced and narrated Religulous, a scathing documentary that boldly questions religious belief.
If gossip, steamy tell-alls and court cases are to be believed, Maher's taste in women runs a wide gamut. Of his dating habits, Maher says, "I couldn't go out with bimbos if I tried! I scare them off! The women that like me are smart."
Avowedly agnostic, professionally politically incorrect and a gleeful provocateur, Maher cheerfully flouts social conventions. "I always compare marriage to communism," he said in a Rolling Stone interview. "They're both institutions that don't conform to human nature, so you're going to end up with lying and hypocrisy."
Given his outspoken views, Maher hardly keeps it a secret that as a highly politicized single dude, he puts the "libertine" in "Libertarian."
Coco Chanel
Modern women owe the existence of the following to Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel: the little black dress, pants, unconstructed suits, sling-back pumps, bobbed hair and ropes of pearls.
Chanel also created a collection of bons mots that are as lasting and relevant today as they were when she first dropped them. "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous," "There is time for work, and time for love. That leaves no other time," and "Great loves too, must be endured," are aphorisms worthy of Oscar Wilde.
Chanel was more than a dress designer: She was the architect of the modern woman, a woman who wore comfortable but complimentary clothing such as suits based on menswear but impeccably tailored for the female form, a woman who defined herself by her work and unapologetically lived her life on her own highly luxe terms.
Which is not to say that Chanel never relied on men. Rather, she took them up and put them down with a kind of casual grace. When the Duke of Westminster asked Chanel to marry him, she declined and later commented, "I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird." Chanel died in 1971 at 87; her unrepentant and stylish modernism lives on.
Wilt Chamberlain
Wilt the Stilt, the Big Dipper, the Chairman of the Boards — no matter what you called him, Wilt Chamberlain was a Goliath of a basketball player. Standing 7 feet 1 inch, Chamberlain played center for the L.A. Lakers, the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Yet his selection to 13 all-star games, his four MVP awards or even his two NBA winning titles don't immediately pop into minds when Chamberlain's name is mentioned. What does is his claim in his 1992 autobiography "A View From Above" that he had sex with over 20,000 women.
In his defense, Chamberlain said, "The point of using the number was to show that sex was a great part of my life as basketball was a great part of my life. That's the reason why I was single."
A pick-up artist who made Mystery look like a rank amateur, Chamberlain nevertheless maintained a reputation for being polite in his seductions.
Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow has the best rock 'n' roll hair this side of Ann and Nancy Wilson. She also has fantastic arms and a killer midriff; it's a super bod that has kept her in step with superman boyfriends like Lance Armstrong, John Stamos, John Cusack, Ryan Seacrest and restaurateur John Cassimus.
More importantly, Crow's assertively healthy lifestyle helped her overcome breast cancer in 2006 and adopt a son in 2007.
Today, at 50, Crow looks really, really good. Natural. And strong enough to be your favorite rock-and-roll woman. Which is probably what really explains Crow's longevity.
In a sea of girl singer wannabes, Crow reads as a real woman with real pain and the real honesty to sing about the whole mess. Take "Diamond Ring" from her Detours disc: "Diamonds may be sweet/ But to me/ They just bring on/ Cold feet … Diamond Ring/Don't mean a thing."
Always public about her bouts with depression, her progressive politics and her personal struggles, Crow writes songs that tread the fine line between pop and poetry.
Crow may be the only woman in the current pop-rock scene who fearlessly and unapologetically presents herself as being the singular woman she really is.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah was born to a teen mother and raised in indigence. She was 6 years old before she had her first pair of shoes. As a child, she wore potato sacks fashioned into dresses. She was raised by her stern but supportive grandma and honed her interview skills by using corncob dolls as subjects. And she has — by sheer will, incredible diligence and raw, hard work — created a $700 billion empire that spans television, stage, screen and print.
Playing a role that spans being guru, therapist and shaman, Oprah cajoles, endears and enables her guests and her audience in what can only be considered the biggest group-therapy sessions (with shopping) in history.
Oprah has a network of tight friendships that includes childhood friend Gayle King; a history of boyfriends like Roger Ebert and Danny Glover; and a current relationship with her long-time partner, educator Stedman Graham, with whom Oprah has chosen to share a "spiritual union."
In an interview in Essence magazine, she said of Stedman, "The truth of the matter is, had we gotten married we wouldn't be together now, because in no way is this a traditional relationship."
Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven was arguably the greatest composer who ever lived. German, beetle-browed and with flowing white hair, he composed music of breathtaking passion and depth. When he became deaf, inconceivably, he continued to compose, perform and conduct music.
Beethoven was something of a rock star, as attractive to the empire-waisted women of his day as Kanye West is to those of today. Though besieged by female attention in the courts of Vienna where he lived most of his life, Beethoven was attached to only three women.
The most famous and elusive love affair of his life took place with his "Immortal Beloved," a woman who has never been identified. Beethoven wrote a series of letters to this unknown amour: "Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us — I can only live wholly with you or not at all …"
Simone de Beauvoir
As essentially French as existentialism and those long sticks of crusty bread, Simone de Beauvoir was a seismic force in feminism and, dare it be said, in the contemporary notion of polyamory. De Beauvoir believed that marriage was an "obscene bourgeois institution."
Born into a middle-class family in 1908, de Beauvoir soon distinguished herself with what her father termed "the brain of a man." She graduated from high school, was accepted at the University of Paris, and soon met her long-time paramour, free-love consort and intellectual partner, Jean-Paul Sartre. The two were inseparable, in bed and out, except when each was having long, passionate affairs with other men, women or both.
De Beauvoir famously said, "To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job," and the only job she wanted was that of writer. In her lifetime, not only did de Beauvoir pen her groundbreaking feminist tome The Second Sex, but she also wrote philosophical works and several highly autobiographical, highly erotic novels, thus laying the groundwork for the writings of Erica Jong and Jessica Cutler.
De Beauvoir had multiple lovers in the span of her 78-year life, but the 4-foot-11-inch existentialist philosopher Sartre was her main man. She claimed, "Our relationship was the greatest achievement of my life."
Al Pacino
He may be the winner of an Oscar, a few Golden Globes, a BAFTA, an Emmy, a couple of Tonys and more; he may lay claim to the title of being one of the greatest living American actors; but most importantly, Al Pacino is unquestionably a legendary singular.
His little black book reads like a Hollywood who's who of actresses: Tuesday Weld, Ellen Barkin, Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Jill Clayburgh, Beverly D'Angelo. Even Winona Ryder and Rose McGowan have been rumored to be attached to a much older, and more experienced, Pacino.
While he's never tied the knot with any of his paramours, he has fathered three children: a daughter by acting teacher Jan Tarrant and twins with D'Angelo, whose split from Pacino was famously acrimonious.
Best known for his gruff roles with violent, macho tendencies, Pacino seems an unlikely romantic, and yet he has said, "I'm single and I don't particularly like it."
His personal history seems to demonstrate otherwise. Rare is the Hollywood actor who has never taken a walk down the aisle; in tribute to Pacino's lifestyle, never-marrieds everywhere can raise a glass of champagne and exclaim, "Booyeah!"
Diane Keaton
Actor, director, producer, writer, photographer, singer, real estate developer, mother and muse: What hasn't Diane Keaton done? Keaton turned 66 in January, and in those years, she has made more than 50 movies, winning an Oscar for her iconic role of Annie Hall in 1977 and inhabiting a breathtaking span of roles that range from comedic to the dramatic.
She has lived a life of Garboesque seclusion, yet her love affairs with Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino garnered attention as much for their combined star power as for Keaton's ability to inspire her on-, and off-, screen partners.
Yet, through it all, Keaton has remained single. In an interview, she said, "I wouldn't rule [marriage] out, but at the same time, I do not see that in my future. I mean, there's a certain point in your life where you can't help it, you're biologically charged and driven towards the opposite sex. You dream about men, you love them, you're excited by it, and I don't feel that way now. There's a kind of freeing aspect to that."
Henry David Thoreau
Considering the almost uninterrupted praise that this author of such groundbreaking transcendentalist books as Walden and Civil Disobedience has received over the last century, it is easy to forget that Henry David Thoreau took a contrarian stance on everything from paying taxes to confining himself to a traditional marriage.
Though Thoreau wrote sparingly about his precise viewpoints regarding marriage and committed relationships, his often-stated antipathy to the idea of submission to any outward will made his life as a singular a virtual inevitability.
His brand of quiet anarchy likely grew from such extreme individualism.
More interestingly, perhaps, Thoreau seemed to suffer little from loneliness as a result of his solitude but instead found almost unending inspiration in the natural communities he lived in and explored. Naturalists, individualists and lovers of fine prose have been making their appreciation known ever since.
Queen Elizabeth I
Called The Virgin Queen, Queen Elizabeth, the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty, ruled from 1558 to 1603.
She brought a Renaissance glory to England, and while she was loved by her people, in all likelihood, she was not a virgin.
Elizabeth was Henry VIII's daughter by his second wife, AnneBoleyn; caught in an intricate web of ascension, aspiration and decapitation, Elizabeth was called a bastard after her mother's beheading, and yet she inherited the throne of her father in a time of much religious, political and economic upheaval.
While it was necessary for Elizabeth to marry to produce an heir, it was equally necessary that she not marry anyone Spanish, Catholic or sympathetic to the Spanish or the Catholics. Thus, no man became her husband.
Elizabeth essentially held her maidenhead for political ransom, recognizing that in giving up her hymen, she would give up her power. Famously, she declared to an envoy of a wooing duke, "I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married."
Ralph Nader
During one of his many runs for the White House, Ralph Nader appeared on Chris Matthews' TV talk show Hardball. In an effort to compare Nader to President Bush, Matthews said, "He's raised two daughters; he's had a happy marriage. You've never been married. Isn't he more mature in his lifestyle than you are?"
Such is the bigotry residing in an astonishing number of people when it comes to never-marrieds. After establishing a career as a consumer activist that culminated in forcing Detroit to install seat belts in vehicles, Nader, 74, has run for President six times.
Whether you regard him as a hero of the underclass or an extraordinary pain in the ass, he is arguably the most famous singular on the political scene.
Nader is notoriously tight-lipped about his private life. He maintains a modest home in Connecticut (in the town where he was born) and shows no signs of letting up on his attacks on graft, abuse of power and cronyism in Washington.
Love Nader or hate him, you have to admire his unflagging single-mindedness.
Condoleezza Rice
Love her, hate her, agree with her policies or abhor them, people come together on two points about Condoleezza Rice. First, they marvel at her amazing achievements, and second, they wonder about her love life.
Rice was raised in very segregated Alabama by her minister father and teacher mother, and she was also raised to excel. At 15, Rice graduated from high school; at 19, she graduated from college. She received her master's degree in political science, and at 26, her Ph.D.
In 1983, Rice was hired by Stanford University and at 39 became its youngest provost —not to mention becoming its first black, and first female, provost. In 2005, she became secretary of state under George W. Bush.
On top of that, she's a concert pianist, an avid football fan, gets up at 5 a.m. to work out six days a week (usually to classic rock along the lines of Cream or Zeppelin) and has never been married.
She is, however, quite fond of football players, including Gene Washington, former player and once the NFL's director of operations. In a 2006 interview with Katie Couric, Rice said, "I've just never particularly wanted to get married to someone.
The Wright Brothers
Oh, those daring young men and their flying machines!
It is sort of easy to give Wilbur and Orville Wright a pass when it comes to their lifelong disinterest in getting married. After all, they occupied themselves for more than 20 years with the small matter of designing and building the world's first heavier-than-air aircraft, an endeavor that culminated in the Wright Flyer's first flight in 1906.
Though separated by four years (Wilbur was the elder), many who knew them said they were essentially twins and spent vast amounts of time in each other's company.
Wilbur once said that he "could not support a wife and a flying machine," but the likely truth is that lack of money had little to do with his decision to remain single; the brothers simply found all the stimulation they needed in the combination of air, wood, gas and physics.
Neither brother seemed distressed by being single, and both remained unrepentant bachelors for the rest of their lives.
Cameron Diaz
Diaz is that all-American outdoor dream girl, a girl who can throw a football or a punch, catch a wave or a bouquet, make a joke or a pass, and do it all with apparent effortlessness.
She inhabits her roles with generous compassion and an immediate likability. But little has endeared Diaz more to the legions of her fans than her amazing grace after breaking up with long-time boyfriend Justin Timberlake in 2007.
Rather than wasting time with a pity party, Diaz dressed for the red carpet and decided that revenge is a dish best served in hot dresses and hotter heels. Diaz said in an Us magazine interview, "I like boys — a lot. I'm boy crazy.
That hasn't changed since I was very young." You have to admit, Diaz's forthright, healthy attitude toward dating is just … cool. On-screen or off, Diaz is a kick-ass role model for knowing how to enjoy a singular life.

I feel great being single at 50, although I have been married. It was fine but now that I am used to being single, I am worried at times that I am not normal, but it suits me well and noone seems to notice
Once past a certain age…….
being singletonised ? ;-).is a blessing. .
If you're not with yourself before or during marriage/relationship/partnership you're without yourself and the loss is to both, and the same for the other person.
In the end…you'll have to get used to being with yourself, above or below ground Ya Dig?
Welcome to
Great first page. plenty of interesting information about single people we all know or have read about. I am single for 16 years..yes have been married..just not interested in doing it again. Believe it would be fun to have a great male friend who is open to share a movie, dinner, travel or or all three. But this rare person is no where to be had. So I just keep working on my house, my yard and of course special little ol' me.

Why no ladies? I mean if you want men to pay attention to the message you should have hot women preaching the word. They don't have to be skantily clad, just hot. God made them that way, so it's ok to appreciate his work, right? Hot women were the only thing I looked forward to, when I had to go to church, seriously. A sausage fest isn't going to attract many men. I find it disappointing that it took 3 posts before someone said beer. |

So you may be on to something here. I am just trying to think of how I can pitch this to our staff I think having beer AT church would be tough, but I am cool with extra curricular activities. I have hosted a beer and bible study, and I tried to host an ATF party but it flopped. As a matter of fact, my chuch leadership team has our staff meetings at a local microbrewery. My other idea was to do a truck build story, but relate it to a person's life instead of just the actual vehicle. A new jeep frame would be the equivalent to a new foundation in a person's life, stuff like that. |

Jeeps, Journey and Jesus
Use a couple good war movie clips too like Braveheart, Gladiator, Wyatt Earp, 300, etc.
Also, see if you can dig up some video testimonies of tough guys. I know "the Animal" Lauranitis (old wrestler, whoes son plays football at OSU) and his son did a video testimony together. Very manly. And a potato cannon. You need a potato cannon. |

The Skoptsy (Russian: скопцы, also transliterated as Skoptzy, Skoptzi, Skoptsi, Skopzi, Scoptsy, Skapetz and other spellings) were a secret sect in imperial Russia. The Skoptsy are best known for practicing castration of men and the mastectomy of women in accordance with their teachings against sexual lust. The movement originated as an offshoot of the sect known as the "People of God" and was first noted in the late 18th century. The Skoptsy were persecuted by the imperial government and later by the Soviet Union, but enjoyed substantial growth before fading into obscurity by the mid-20th century.
Beliefs and practice of castration[edit]
A naked skopets man |
Skoptsy is a plural of "skopets", an archaic word meaning "castrated one" in the Russian language. As their title indicates, the main feature of the sect was castration. They believed that after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had the halves of the forbidden fruit grafted onto their bodies forming testicles and breasts. Thus, the removal of these sexual organs restored the Skoptsy to the pristine state before the Original Sin. In this the Skoptsy maintained that they were fulfilling Christ's counsel of perfection in Matthew 19:12[1] and 18:8-9.[2]
There were two kinds of castration: the "lesser" and "greater seal" (i.e. partial and complete castration). For men, "lesser" castration was the removal of the testicles only, while "greater" castration was the removal of the penis as well. Men who did the "greater seal" used a cow-horn when urinating. The castrations were made with primitive tools such as a shaving knife without using any anesthetic.
The earliest records of female castrations date from 1815. Usually only the breasts were amputated, according to the 1911 encyclopedia. Other accounts suggest that the labia were also removed, making it a form of Female circumcision.
The Skoptsy also believed that a chief evil of the world is rooted in the lepost (bodily beauty, human sexuality, sex appeal, etc.) which prevents people from communicating with God. The way to perfection begins with the elimination of the cause followed by the liberation of soul. Castration ensured that all sins caused by lepost could not be committed.
The Skoptsy were first discovered by the Russian civil authorities in 1771 in the Oryol region. A peasant, Andrei Ivanov, was convicted of having persuaded thirteen other peasants to castrate themselves. His assistant was another peasant, known as Kondratii Selivanov. A legal investigation followed. Ivanov was knouted and sent to Siberia. Selivanov fled, but was arrested in 1775.
Skoptsism increased and Selivanov escaped from Siberia and proclaimed himself the Son of God incarnate in the person of the late Peter III of Russia. Peter had been popular among the Raskolniks (schismatics, or dissidents) because he granted them liberty of conscience, and among the peasants because when pillaging the convents he divided their lands among the labourers. Selivanov claimed the title "God of Gods and King of Kings", and announced his accomplishment of the salvation of believers through castration.
For eighteen years he lived in Saint Petersburg, in the house of one of his disciples, receiving double homage as Christ and tsar. In 1797 he was arrested again by order of Tsar Paul I and imprisoned in a madhouse. Under Alexander I Selivanov regained his liberty, but in 1820 was again shut up, this time in a monastery at Suzdal, where he died in 1832 in his hundredth year. Skoptsism was, however, despite the furious investigations of the Third Department (the tsar's secret police), not exterminated, and scandals continued to arise.
Membership in the Skoptsy sect was not restricted to the peasant class. Nobles, military and naval officers, civil servants, priests and merchants were to be found in its ranks, and its numbers were so great that 515 male and 240 female members were transported to Siberia between 1847 and 1866 without seriously threatening its existence. In 1874 the sect numbered at least 5444, including 1465 women. Of these 703 men and 100 women had castrated themselves.
Repressive measures were tried along with ridicule: male Skoptsy were dressed in women's clothes and paraded with fools' caps on through the villages. In 1876, 130 Skoptsy were deported. To escape prosecution some of the sect emigrated, mostly to Romania, where some of them mixed with old believer exiles known as Lipovans. The well-known Romanian writer I.L. Caragiale acknowledges that toward the end of the 19th century all the horse-powered cabs in Bucharest were driven by Russian Skoptsy (Scopiţi in Romanian). Though the law was strict in Russia — every eunuch was compelled to register — Skoptsism did not abate in its popularity.
The Skoptsy became known as moneylenders (New York Times 1910), and a bench known as the "Skoptsy's Bench" stood in St. Petersburg for many years.
The Skoptsy may have had as many as 100,000 followers in the early 20th century, although repression continued and members of the sect were put on trial (New York Times 1910). Increased repression and collectivization under the Soviet Union reduced the numbers to a reported few thousand in 1929, and the sect is believed to have nearly died out today (Lane 1978).
Other practices and beliefs[edit]
The Skoptsy did not absolutely condemn marriage, and some were allowed to have one child, those at Bucharest two, before being fully admitted. They were not pessimists, desiring the end of the species, but aimed rather at the perfection of the individual. Their religious ceremonies included hymn-singing, addresses and frenzied dancing ending in ecstasy, like that of the Chlysty and the Muslim whirling dervishes. Strict oaths of secrecy were demanded from all members, who formed a kind of mutual-aid association.
Meetings were held late at night in cellars, and lasted until dawn. At these the men wore long, wide, white shirts of a peculiar cut with a girdle and large white trousers. Women also dressed in white. All present wore white stockings or went barefoot. They referred to themselves as "White Doves."
The Skoptsy were millenarians, and looked for a Messiah who would establish an empire of the saints, i.e. the pure. They believed that the Messiah would not come until the Skoptsy numbered 144,000 (Rev. 14:1,4), and all their efforts were directed to reaching this total. By 1911, there was said to have been a tendency on the part of many Skoptsy to consider their creed fulfilled by chaste, solitary living.

I have a V2 SHP with a tad over 200 flights. I was thinking of trying V3 wings with the SFGs to help my harriers.
Will the V3 wings work on a V2 fuse? Same spar size, same position on fuse, some anti-rotation point? This may be something only the vendor can answer since they know the specs or anyone who owns both air frames. Thanks, Mike |
Aug 31, 2011, 04:41 PM | ||
http://www.rcwebclub.com/Articles/Te...5/Default.aspx You should probably beef up the wood so it's not as flimsy since it won't be between the wing and the stock SFG's... and you may want to use a wood screw to install them, then take it out, soak the hole with some thin or medium CA, the after it's dry re-install them. --Tom K. |

Thanks for starting this thread. I have a yellow V2 with almost 200 flights on it, and a blue V2 NIB for backup. I really love this plane. You can fly it as easy or hard as you want.
I'm just wondering if 3DHS replaces this one with the Buck & 1/2 Huck. Chuck |
Aug 31, 2011, 06:36 PM | ||
There is only one change I'd wish for... an airfoiled elevator since that would be a bit stronger than the flat one it currently has. An option for either a recommended 3S or 4S setup would be nice for some... I'm partial to the 3S so it wouldn't be something I'd ask for... but I'm not everyone. In the end, it will be tough for them to top the excellent model they already have in the SHP. Randy |
Aug 31, 2011, 07:11 PM | |
I agree I think the changes will be minimal. Just a few tweaks and of course a couple new awesome Km color schemes. I mentioned something about airfoiled tail in the other thread when the new version was first mentioned. From what I gathered the non airfoiled tail has much to to with the docility of this plane. If one wanted a more aggressive version then the velox would fit the bill much better. I have been trying to push the limits with it lately by overpowering it and trying to get more throw than it's designed for. I guess my best bet would be to leave it as it is and get another airframe with more aggressive handling characteristics. That way I'll always have a super forgiving plane to fall back on and or something to let others Sip the Kool-aid. I have a couple friends who are very interested in this plane so I plan on letting them get a pull on it next time I see them at the field. Got to spread the Awesomeness.

An airfoiled stab will make it more stable because the air will flow over the surface smoother making for less buffeting... that's why full scale aircraft don't just put a hinged piece of plywood on the back (well there are more reasons...) If you want it to be docile... then turn back the rates. Now, we have a super stable SHP and with low rates anybody can fly it, and with high, you can really step up your game without having to spend another $300-$500 to set up a velox or slick or whatever... it just makes sense.

'Take Back the Night'
Published: Monday, September 17, 2012
Updated: Monday, September 17, 2012 14:09
This past Thursday night marked NDSU's second annual "Take Back the Night" event. An event where the NDSU community rallies for an end to sexual violence. The event had a great turnout where students, staff, and faculty listened to speakers, marched throughout the NDSU campus (even stopping traffic!), and ended the event with a candle light vigil. The night started with people gathering in the Festival Concert Hall where people got to make signs for the rally. One sign boldly stated, "Just because I'm wearing a dress, doesn't mean yes!"
People attending had a chance to look at some booths advertising organizations in the community that focus on the issues related to stopping sexual violence. They also got to listen to the student-organized educational program where three NDSU staff and faculty members were highlighted for their work with sexual violence. People learned about statistics on sexual violence on campus, and students who are also featured in a campaign on campus spoke on taking a stand against sexual violence.
Students, staff and faculty held their signs and chanted, then erupted on the streets as they began to march on the NDSU campus.
"Seeing all the students that ran out of their dorms to see and hear what we had to say was insane!" Alyssia Feders, a student who had partaken in the march said.
The night ended with an intimate candle light vigil where people told their stories.
"We know violence happens, we know rape happens, we know abuse happens and we really just want to get the word out at NDSU to make sure that doesn't happen here." Said Krista Padgett, a Student/Violence Prevention Educator who worked the "Take Back the Night" event.
MSUM also had a "Take Back the Night" event on their campus, which included a barbeque, poetry slam, a march and candle light vigil.


text: I don't know what to say, not really sure what to do. All the things I wanted to convey to you somehow just got wasted, thrown away. I rehearsed what I wanted to tell you, tried to play the scenario in my head, And I can hear myself talking, but it sounds like I'm bitchin' again. When all I really wanted was you back, but I'll never, ever tell you that. I guess, what I really want is for you to beg me back. Like you always did before. Just so I can tell you again that, I don't want this anymore. Seems like that would be the only thing that would make me feel better, to feel like I'm hurting you again somehow. Think of it as some type of payback even though I swear I'm much better now. Now who was it that said, maybe after all this we can still be friends? ..... "Yeah right."

Dip your fingers into sound with Tondo for iPhone! Tondo lets you create and manipulate audio in a new way: by painting sound on a radial sonogram. With Tondo, you can learn to create sound out of its simplest elements, and how rhythm, timbre, melody and harmony all are closely related.
The basic principle behind Tondo is that all sounds can be built by adding together very simple sounds (sinusoid waves) with varying frequencies and amplitudes. Tondo organizes this information in a way that is easy to manipulate, by painting with specialized tools. As you paint the sound , the corresponding audio is generated. At any point, you can save the information or the audio you have generated and export it in a number of formats. If your device supports recording, it can analyze sound into its spectrum for further manipulation.
Tondo can be used for making samples for other programs to use, rhythms and experimental explorations of sound.
Now supports Sonoma Wire Works AudioCopy: You can export the information which defines the sound onto the clipboard, which you can then paste into other apps, documents, mail to friends, and post on blogs.

Comments about Rock House Beginner Acoustic Guitar (DVD):
I have never had any formal training. I learned to play when I was in college just by hanging out with some guys who played all the time. I started learning things that improved my technic immediately. This is a great course for any novice who wants to improve his skills!
Comments about Rock House Beginner Acoustic Guitar (DVD):
Better than most, there seems to be more organized stuff here. They breeze through the basics in chunks that most players can easily absorb. Don't expect much theory or detailed musical constructs. The beginner songs are boring. You won't be playing them long, though. With some dedicated practice, that is.
Comments about Rock House Beginner Acoustic Guitar (DVD):
I have several other beginner dvds/cds/books and this one is the best. Easy to follow, clear instructions. Great dvd and booklet for the money!
Comments about Rock House Beginner Acoustic Guitar (DVD):

Browser Games Tagged with "tumbledrop"
He's baaaaaaaaaack. Junior wants to play, and Senior wants to sleep. This time, in addition to a bunch of precarious physics puzzles, Senior's set up some traps to remain undisturbed. But Junior's not going to let that stand in his way, and he's even got a new trick... wings!
Tumble Towers 2 is a fun and engaging physics puzzle by Team Omni, in which you must keep totems from tumbling and dropping from wobbly towers of blocks. It doesn't really try to hide the elements it swipes from the Totem Destroyer games, but, even if a clone, it's made with a lot of love for the concept.
Alma Games presents another chapter of the great struggle of Sleeping Parent Vs. Energetic Child in Monsterland 2: Junior's Revenge, a tumble-drop physics puzzler. A bit derivative of other Box2D engine-based games, but still a colorful medium-challenge mental work out.
How do you follow up on a successful game like WereBox, where you can transform boxes into balls to solve physics puzzles? In WereBox 2, you've got to exploit the power of transforming boxes to rid the screen of reds, all while the developers have an existential meltdown over how to spend their budget. We suggest more zombies. Or kittens. Just get rid of the red shapes already!
This little red block monster's father doesn't want to play with him, but maybe you can change that in this eye-infested tumble drop physics game. Made with the Box2D physics engine, you get a cutesy puzzle game backed by reliable and well-tested physics that won't waste your precious free time. Click away as few mean monster blocks as possible to reunite a playful son and his tired dad for high scores and star ratings. The adorable music and a squealing son will put a smile on your face, guaranteed!
With a hint of Greek mythology in the title, Cyclop Physics gets you rolling and sliding with these little, one eyed creatures to solve fun physics based tumbledrop puzzles. You must balance between the physics of a nice circle and a diabolical square if you ever want to finish the puzzle and please the gods.
This is the third Halloween in a row that we've been treated to a Pumpkin Remover game, and it's the third time we've seen those deadly pumpkins arrive. Once again the objective remains to simply remove them with a click of the mouse. Well, sort of. Pumpkins can fall in different directions, and you still need to clear all of the bad pumpkins without losing the good ones.
I wanted to start this article by saying how assu___ I felt that your bo___om would be shatte___ by Gaz's new release and how much it lives up to its inc___ible p___ecessors. Sadly, though it seems (puts on sunglasses) I was too eager in removing the reds. Yep, another forty levels of adorably devious puzzles are here in Red Remover Player Pack 2. If you've been wanting awesome tumble-drop physics challenges, look no further: the boxy faces of Red Remover aim to please.
Can't get enough Red Remover? Neither can the rest of the community, which is how this 40 level compilation of the best and brightest user created levels came about. Warm up your brain (and even your reflexes) to figure out how to send all the red shapes flying off screen, while protecting the green ones. Don't worry; they'll thank you for it.
Polar bears the world over are being frozen into gleaming bearsicles, and it's your quest to send each frozen polar bear into the drink at the bottom of the screen, which will melt their icy prison and set them free once more. Click on cracked ice fragments to dematerialize them, and tumbledrop your way through 20 levels of frosty, physics puzzling madness.
WereBox is a fun little challenge that will brighten your day. Lurking in the darkness, transforming to save the day, be the hero and vanquish the wicked reds so that life in the city can return to normal. Well, normal for balls anyway. It's a physics puzzle with a twist, as you turn balls to boxes and back again to complete each level.
A frothing geyser of black vapor lies somewhere in every level, and it's up to you to send the shivering little protagonist tumbling into the miasma. The game's kind enough to tuck a decidedly useful trick up your sleeve: white objects can be disintegrated with but a single click of the mouse.
The title sounds like the name of a top-secret Cold War superweapon, or perhaps a very specialized brand of bleach, but Red Remover has nothing to do with either Soviets or stains. Instead, this latest offering from Gaz charges you with the task of removing all of the melancholy red blocks in a level while keeping all the exuberant greens.
Redstar Fall is back, with 20 more levels of physics puzzle mayhem. Blast away the tower of bricks one by one, to bring the red star to rest on solid ground. These new "Pro" levels are tough and finicky as a dried-up alley cat, so practice up on the first game before you tackle them.
Redstar Fall is a short but wonderfully executed and atmospheric entry in the physics-based stacking/unstacking genre. you begin each level with a pile of oddly-shaped blocks sitting on an island floating in the sky. Click on a block and it vanishes, allowing everything above to shift with the pull of gravity. Your goal is to ease the red star down so it comes to rest on the island.
Following the success of the first game in the series, Totem Destroyer 2 is bigger and better. In each level you must bomb all of the destructible blocks, without allowing the golden idol(s) to touch the ground. It's a beautifully executed follow-up to the excellent original, and it should not be missed. There's way more levels, new types of blocks, new types of idols, and even a level editor!

- • Off-Road Velociraptor Safari
- • Rasta Monkey
- • Mars Explorer
Totem Destroyer is, to say the least, an ironic name for this little jewel of a puzzler, considering that the very last thing you want to do is destroy the totem. The goal of each level is to instead retrieve the tiny golden little idol unharmed. Keeping you from your prize is the precariously stacked structure upon which its perched. Your goal is to selectively destroy the required number of blocks for each stage without letting the totem touch the ground.

Oil and Gas
Much of the oil and gas produced in the United States comes from our public wildlands. Our work helps to protect our cherished wild places from damages caused by oil and gas drilling.
While there are some lands that are appropriate for oil and gas drilling, others are simply too wild and fragile for industrial development. Oil and gas development can lead to:
- Habitat fragmentation and disturbances in migration, breeding and foraging habits of wildlife
- Pollution of air and water through daily operations
- Toxic oil spills
- Noise pollution
- Spoiled beauty of scenic areas
The Wilderness Society is committed to making sure that oil and gas development is done safely and responsibly, while making sure our most pristine and treasured landscapes are protected.
Why oil and gas
Our government allows oil and gas companies to drill on the wildlands that belong to all Americans. When not done responsibly, or when allowed to take place in sensitive habitats, drilling can do lasting damages to these wild places. We work to ensure that any development on our public land is safe and responsible.
Oil subsidies
Profit-rich oil and gas companies currently receive more than $4 billion in subsidies. These subsidies were originally used to help the industry in its early days, but they are no longer needed.
Federal legislation
Laws passed through Congress have established a framework for managing our public lands. These laws allow us to use our lands for various uses without harming the environment.
Administrative reforms
A presidential administration gets leeway on how to approach oil and gas development. While there are baseline laws to be followed, the president's administration can pass certain reforms to make oil and gas drilling safer for wildlands.
Leasing on public lands
The oil and gas development process on public lands is in place to decrease environmental harm in surrounding areas. The water, air and habitats need to be kept clean and the oil and gas drilling needs to be kept to the smallest footprint possible. The federal government has important policies in place to ensure this occurs.
Oil and gas FAQs
This page has answers to some frequently asked questions about our work on oil and gas issues.

Designated wilderness areas are delightful places to experience the magical unfolding of spring. Wild lands offer magnificent destinations for outdoor recreation - whether it's hiking, wildlife-watching, climbing, canoeing or snowshoeing.

With the usual threats of development as well as stretched budgets and resources, the last thing public lands need now are more stressors.

Quickly Updatable Hologram Images Using Poly(N-vinyl Carbazole) (PVCz) Photorefractive Polymer Composite

Abstract: Quickly updatable hologram images using photorefractive (PR) polymer composite based on poly(N-vinyl carbazole) (PVCz) is presented. PVCz is one of the pioneer materials of photoconductive polymers. PR polymer composite consists of 44 wt % of PVCz, 35 wt % of 4-azacycloheptylbenzylidene-malonitrile (7-DCST) as a nonlinear optical dye, 20 wt % of carbazolylethylpropionate (CzEPA) as a photoconductive plasticizer and 1 wt % of 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone (TNF) as a sensitizer. PR composite gives high diffraction efficiency of 68% at E = 45 V μm−1. Response speed of optical diffraction is the key parameter for real-time 3D holographic display. The key parameter for obtaining quickly updatable holographic images is to control the glass transition temperature lower enough to enhance chromophore orientation. Object image of the reflected coin surface recorded with reference beam at 532 nm (green beam) in the PR polymer composite is simultaneously reconstructed using a red probe beam at 642 nm. Instead of using a coin object, an object image produced by a computer was displayed on a spatial light modulator (SLM) and used for the hologram. The reflected object beam from an SLM was interfered with a reference beam on PR polymer composite to record a hologram and simultaneously reconstructed by a red probe beam.

Diamond Quality
Produced deep within the depths of the earth over a million years ago, a diamond is one of the most well-known and sought-after gemstones in the world. The ancient Greeks called the diamond "adamas," meaning invincible and theorized that something so beautiful could only come from the gods. Romans thought diamonds must have been fallen stars. Today diamonds have become the universal symbol of "forever" and most couples around the globe mark their engagement with a diamond ring. When shopping for diamond jewelry you must keep in mind the 4Cs: color, clarity, cut and carat weight. All these factor into the quality of the diamond. Less is more when it comes to color and clarity: the gems with the least amount of color and the fewest inclusions are the most rare and valued. On the other hand, bigger is better when it comes to carat weight: the bigger the diamond, the higher the carat weight and the more it costs per carat. Cut is arguably the most important value factor because the quality of a diamond's cut gives it its life and sparkle. The diamonds Gemvara offers are exceptionally fine: a minimum G-H in color, at least SI2 in clarity, and cut to dazzle with brilliance. Diamond is the April birthstone and the gem of the 10th and 60th anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality diamond will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine diamond jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
